DoDonPachi Longplay (Arcade) [60 FPS]

[@el_benja]

Dude that last boss fight was completely insane. Just… wow.

[@larsenmats]

that firepower and those explosions. And the intensity. wow. Bullets, lasers, fires and explosions everywhere at the same time! Nice vid!

"cuphead is the hardest game in the world" said by 4 year old gamer. I remember the 90s arcade games, no one was easy, or even some pc or console games that times was like this

[@burgerface5055]

Cuphead is still pretty hard tho, and arcade games were purposely made to be harder to earn more money

[@sophisticatedfrog5737]

because 90s arcade games were just a lot of bullshit, and cuphead is kinda like dark souls in a way that it's difficult but fair

I just can't figure out how these players can see and avoid those bullets from other things and explosions..

[@tewy79]

The hit area on your ship is literally a few pixels rather than the whole ship so you can skim through very tight gaps

[@EverlastMsg]

@@tewy79 yea ok but have you watched the video? He flies through bullets like the ship was untoucheable, i tried the game and it doesnt work like that, maybe he used cheats

[@sibbyeskie]

@@EverlastMsg Watching his video I don't detect any obvious cheating (like repeated save state usage) although his overall movement does not appear particularly skilled. The pattern weaving is pretty standard in this genre. It's like anything. Ever see professional ice skaters? Looks easy, almost effortless, right? Then you try it and fall on your ass right away. It's a skill you just have to develop.

[@EverlastMsg]

@@sibbyeskie yea ok but the point is: this guy literally flew through bullets like the ship was undestroyable

[@TheTrueIceman]

@@EverlastMsg I have played this game, the bullets can pass through areas like the wings on your ship or the nose, but once anything hits dead-center it's instakill

[@allegin1978]

One of my favourite games at the moment. An excellent longplay video.

[@allegin1978]

@Carlos Diaz I don't have time to play it at the moment but it is still my go to game when I sit down to play the old stuff.

[@lancecurry7538]

OK, I know this is tool-assisted, but I need to ask. Is it possible for a human with no tool-assist to No Miss the entirety of Dodonpachi? I know Jaimers91 has No Missed Hibachi with only one bomb, but that still raises the question...

[@noobedition9109]

what is tool-assisted?

well, he's definitely cheating with movement like that. but it's not that hard with a bit of practice to at least pass the first couple of stages

yeah, the mobile emulator that i downloaded won't let me click the "coin" button for the second time, which means i'm forced to try to 1cc the game​, but i was able to reach level 4 3 times.@@jc_dogen

[@SamCardCounter]

nice gameplay and i appreciate the extensive explanation in the description, but can you specify this is tool assisted in the title? you can already see some of the confusion in the comments

[@UKMikey]

Nice video quality Al!

[@AnthonyFlack]

I can understand you not trying to get the long chains, because the game is hard enough already, but you should at least try to collect the hidden bees. Hit them with the front of your laser beam and then you can pick them up. There's 13 in each stage and their points value increases with each one. Also you should keep using the laser continuously on the bosses to keep your hit counter up.

[@juanrodriguezluis4811]

excelent gae, awesome gameplay!!! can you tell me, how do you emulate it? it seems really hot and good ;D

[@funZ00]

You are so talent...... I just cant believe this!!

Brother o jogo é muito bom mas a trilha sonora dessa obra me chamou muito mais a atenção

[@Frozentoast84]

12:40 ... how?

[@cumulushalo576]

I love these games but I suck at them. The only way I make through them is by constant save states. That said, I don't really spend alot of time on them but even if I did I still don't see how it would be possible to beat it. How can someone memorize the exact movements when the screen is completely filled with bullets and beams? Are they just gifted? Are they overdosing on adderall or something? So many unanswered questions 😵

[@AnthonyFlack]

You don't memorise the exact patterns of bullets; you need to adapt. Each play through is a bit different. But it really makes a difference to take out certain enemies in the right order. And careful timing of things like killing the bigger spaceships which destroy all the bullets on-screen when they explode. There are general strategies you can use too; for example when there are enemies that all fire directly at you, if you keep moving slowly, just nudging along, and never double back, they won't hit you because the bullets are all heading towards where you used to be. Fly all over the screen and their bullets go everywhere. Stay still, concentrate their fire in one place, then move. It's useful to move up the screen to draw fire, then pull back to open up a space to move through. I think it helps to sit a little further up the screen so you have some space to pull back. Also nothing shoots at you from off the screen; sometimes it helps to keep gun banks off the screen for a while deliberately to stop them from shooting at you. And enemies are kind enough to not shoot at you point blank either; you should exploit this as well. If you don't keep on top of things the game will punish you as there will be way more bullets and more chaos to deal with, but you can reduce this with smart tactical play. Also remember if you die and you still had unused bombs, you messed up. Dodonpachi rewards you heavily for not using your bombs but not if you die.

[@Galimah]

jesus so many bullets and projectals

[@daviddefortier5970]

My best run on this game with a single credit is to stage 5... And i felt really proud to get that good.

[@High_Priest_Jonko]

So…do you have to constantly tap tap tap tap tap the button? This isn’t like other Cave shooters where you can easily switch between the Laser and the Shot, it’s one or the other, right? Unless you want to tap tap tap tap but who the hell wants to do that?

[@Kairosdex]

Que mentira, se que el avión pasa atraves de un par de balas pero no todas

[@drkamilz]

Thanks for the video. You are very good at on maniac shooters.

[@LegendaryNeurotoxin]

Is the slowdown genuinely an effect of the coding and asset management getting beat up on the hardware, or is it simulated to slow down as it reaches an on-screen object limit?

[@dukejpc]

it is intentional. It can be seen in other games in the series that even run on superior hardware

[@gabrielparra9250]

Es intencional, los PCB de estos juegos de Cave son unos monstruos en componentes no tiene problema en mostrar pixeles enormes o en gran cantidad, se ralentiza para ayudar al jugador a esquivar las balas, de lo contrario el juego si sería imposible o irritante.

[@rafaellima83]

@@gabrielparra9250 I don't think it's intentional. There are Cave games where its intentional, and you don't see the game suddenly speeding up with the screen still filled with bullets. There are moments here when the game is slow, the player stops shooting, the game speeds up to the normal speed, he goes back to shooting, the game slows down again. If this is intentional, it's really badly done. Don't forget having a shitload of bullets it's not just about drawing a lot of pixels, but having collision tests for all of them, calculating their movement, updating screen position, etc. This arcade board has just a M68000 at 16mhz to do all those calculations. It's barely the double of a Mega-Drive processor power and there is a LOT of stuff going on at the same time on this game.

[@RHFactor100]

This game looks better than Raiden.

[@soraudagawa3022]

Wot? I dont know why, but in a version I downloaded the bullets are a lot faster than in the video :l, someone knows why it goes that fast?

[@soraudagawa3022]

+Sora Udagawa “Paragone” I searched in my emulator's configuration, and I found and option named: emulated speed. That option was in 150 pct instead of 100, that's why the game was was that fast xD. At least its also fun to play in 150 pct XDD

[@spidermacho123]

Why would anyone use A-shot???????

[@DanielAyy]

I have the Saturn version. How close does it compare to the Arcade?

I've not played the Saturn version, but the console should have the power to do a pretty decent job of it; I'll check it out at some point

[@filou13]

It has an extra game mode and an additional stage IIRC

[@clementchapoutot2116]

You have not hitbox!!!

[@PuntoArcade2023jhon]

porque no pierde vidas?????

[@Ocaljr]

I see some pink bullets fly through the ship but not hit it. Is this a cheat or a form of clipping? If any of those pink bullets so much as brushes on my ship, it blows me up. So what gives?

[@AL82RetrogamingLongplays]

There's roughly 1 pixel around the cockpit that registers collisions - as long as bullets don't hit that then you're ok. Bullets colliding with the ship body have no impact.

[@philip1718]

this sees fake because i saw so many times him being hit still not losing any life.

[@diagoraz]

Honestly, I do not believe in this gameplay. I have already seen and reviewed this video, and I think it is unlikely that any humans will be able to play this way. I only believe if I show the person playing, otherwise it's a trick.

[@the_skullbot]

@evmotorcycle Even though the hitbox is like 2 or 3 pixels wide, i've paused the video on Stage 2 boss with the ship completely under a bullet. Cheat mode is quite obvious here indeed.

[@AL82RetrogamingLongplays]

No cheats were used - anything you see in the video is due to the tolerances the game allows. The actual collision detection points are roughly a couple of pixels around the ship's cockpit and the the epicenter of enemy projectiles - it's quite possible for a bullet to cover the ship, but if the relevant pixels don't touch then no collision is registered. I'm pretty sure I still have the original state files for the recording, so if you're that desperate to see whether cheats were used then I can upload them.

[@the_skullbot]

@@AL82RetrogamingLongplays You beat Hibachi without even loosing a life. Even best japanese players don't. Take a look at 55:03 with 0.25x speed. And dare to tell you didn't used cheats. I know the game pretty well, and collision is indeed small, but man, just be fair. But if you're still claiming you didn't used cheats, I would enjoy the states files.

[@dashi-musashi351]

Bruh, the bullets are engulfing the entire ship and screen and he’s trying to claim he didn’t use cheats
