Gradius V Boss Rush Part 1

[@kinmanyuen]

Gradius is like holy... R-type is a messenger.

[@survyvrtype]

Good point! I love old school shooters, but this is just ridiculous.

[@walter0bz]

R-Type owns all other shooters due to nifty weapon design, chargable shot, enviroment design etc

[@aliultimate009]

to ( piggypoo ) if you're wondering how shinya is evading those green rings lasers vs bigcore riv1.2 there is a programmed limit for the received shots called hit-box ^_^ it's located in the very center of vic viper ^_^ shinya was very smart on measuring the distance between the laser and the hit-box while trying the hardest possible to keep the laser in the center of the ship for not to get hit by the green rings lasers vs bigcore riv 1.2 ^_^ same to other bosses in the very close calls ^_^

[@NightSprinter]

Hence why they can place so many cameos: Gradius, Salamander, Firebird/Hi-No-Tori, Metal Gear, and Parodius.

[@watertank10430]

(To soulreaper7x) Some short conversations during stage 2 & stage 7 & stage 8 which cannot be skipped, that is what they called the storyline. One of the reason is that it is important so the player will understand what the unidentified ship in stage 2 is about, and what the other Vic-Viper is about. The other reason is that the conversation also fits the background musics specifically designed for the game.

[@guambombboy]

Because the width of the hitbox of the rings are wider than that of the Vic Viper. So the rings will get hit by the lasers before they even touch the Vic Viper.

[@DrLove0378]

This isn't the Gradius we know and love... this is "bullet hell."

[@ariel_haymarket]

Touhou may have the most badass of bullet patterns but nothing touches Gradius.

[@aliultimate009]

easy to explain just finish the game 10 times in row then you can select loop 10 in stage select mode .

[@aliultimate009]

ok and about the music and the bosses ? in weapon design Gradius V got 4 option types ^_^ there is E-laser in Gradius V which is also a chargable shot ^_^ Gradius V was also made by a genius directors from ikaruga by treasure ^_^ most people loves ikaruga just check out some videos of the final bosses .. i CHALLENGE your game R-type to have the same tough bosses like ikaruga and Gradius V with they're awesome musics and moves ^_^ Gradius was first started as scramble in 1981 before R-type XD

[@orion2ktc]

The actual hit box is the cockpit, the rest of the ship is unaffected. That's why you can get away with a lot of these moves.

[@aliultimate009]

what happened to ground spider and elephant gear in Gradius V if you're talking about that creature ?

[@aliultimate009]

yes as far as i saw that it is the best legendary game since 1985 when gradius history started and many people had admitted that it was the best classic series to this day after 24 years of intense shooting action ^_^

[@kinmanyuen]

god... 14 years ago I played Gradius3. I'm sure Last Resort (Neo Geo) had some little influence?

[@TheDutchGhost]

I think I would have yelled "Mommy" by now, impressive. On a side note, I wonder what those floating structures on the background are. Spaceships? Space stations?

[@2010gaje]

@jmuir29 No that would be the object of really high loops. But the point is to get through the end of the game just like any SHMUP. this video is all bosses on loop 10 where the difficult maxes out.

[@Ponicalica]

@Gouldfish44 He also features, in a slightly modified form, in Hero Core, as the final boss, Cruiser Tetron.

[@RRVCrinale]

To paraphrase Ramba Ral... These are no Moai heads, boys! NO MOAI HEADS!

[@Firestorm2900]

Only looks that way because of him playing in loop 10 mode, which I would assume is probably the toughest mode in Gradius V.

[@RoarOfRa]

It says a lot about a game's difficulty when TETRAN, one of the easiest Gradius bosses ever, is completely ridiculous in its unrelenting waves of shots, and yet is still one of the "easier" bosses in the game.

[@shogun666hit]

that is unreal.sick stuff!

[@RSS1988]

Awesome skills. The soundtracks to this game in particular are brilliant- and that's just one aspect to like about this excellent old-skool (yet modern) classic. Too many games are too easy in the modern day (at least that's what I find) but this bucks the trend favourably...

[@chimera1277]

has anyone notice that the bosses expend a whole lot of effort(the bosses being battleship types) just to take down a single fighter?

[@HaydenLee]

@jmuir29 the object of this game is obviously to destroy the core

[@Cytoplazm18]

This game has the most satisfying explosions when the bosses die!

[@chimera1277]

still you'd think the Bacterion would actually create an effective counter against the Vic Viper.

[@walter0bz]

dobkeratops pwns brain golem rtype stage 3 battleship pwns big-core etc well it's all personal preference for me the 2 favourite schmup weapons are bouncing laser & helical laser from r-type :) gradius options following the craft have nice motion i know i will admit that gradius V is better than r-type final, but when i judge original games in historical context r-type=pinacle of schmups

[@tempkn145]

It's not just a fighter, it's a 1 zillion dollar spaceship :o

[@watertank10430]

You might want to check out other videos on KZbin, some people do contain the conversation in their video. (Though I haven't been looking for videos about Gradius V for a while)

[@zeldalink78]

this game looks more like a bullet hell shoot em up than the gradius we all know and love. and in true bullet hell fassion,the hitbox is smaller than a grain of sand

[@jmuir29]

whats the object of this game, find the one pixil where no shots pass?

[@2006man]

Very hard and on high loops. The game gets harder every loop, and by loop, it means replaying the game again right after the end credits.

[@blastermine]

Hey i had a strange idea! What if pokemon had loops like gradius?

[@bernierambles]

skills...mad mad skills...the guy must have electric eyes or something.

[@soulreaperx7x]

doyou know where i can get it?

[@Trial_By_Scythe]

Destroy the Core...the sweetest phrase in video games!

[@X9786]

No shield... that means Shinya used Mega Crash.

[@kinmanyuen]

the next gradius should be 1080p + 3D vision support

[@MatroidX]

it's a bit rare to find nowadays... I could not find it in any store (like EB games, etc.) so just bought it online (on ebay, ~$25 w/ shipping) It's amazingly difficult, but fun. So although more expensive than most ps2 games (most are

[@JRcmxtm]

*thought gradius 3 was a fun game from childhood* *saw gradius 4 and got excited* *stared at a boss rush* *realized Gradius is hard friggin core* DDD:

[@MatroidX]

you're posting this on a gradius video, so of course most people here are going to say gradius V is better (myself included :) however, that was the general opinion I got via google (search for "best ps2 scrollshooter", or something similar), when I was figuring out which to buy.

[@rvbrules]

@orion2ktc there are times though where i leave it protected but i still die. & in this video there's clearly times where it's touched but he lives D=

[@soulreaperx7x]

oh. i didnt know i havent played this gradius. and the ones i have played dont have story att al just play and there you win. know what i mean?

[@walter0bz]

they really must do a high def gradius for ps3/360, r type dimensions shows its worthwhile

[@EndymionMkII]

i guess he thought DARIUS, but oh yes, that is also a great shooter, hope they bring it to America (the continent) and other places

[@corvusabaddon]

What an ancient video. Kinda glad I never played this one, looks like too much of an eye-strain for me.

[@X9786]

What is Shinya using, Forcefield, Shield or Mega Crush?

[@FrameRunnerX]

This is completely insane !! This player owns !

[@dracmeister]

You only get hit on the cockpit, nowhere else...

[@soulreaperx7x]

this gradius actually has a story?!?!?

[@rynexmkIII]

wah!!! invisible.... and invincible!

[@DMSwordsmaster]

I swear, how much would it cost to even make ONE of these core ships??

[@walter0bz]

best re-imagining of a classic game ever

[@gjtrue]

have anybody watched the gradius ova

[@kavlo32]

what is a mega crush ?

[@John845]

How much did you buy you're ps2 for?

[@enoching7]

is this game or rtype final better to get?

[@Oxaran]

The laser is protecting Vic Viper so hes not cheating

[@piggypoo]

how do you do that???? so many bullets yo

[@VideosbySteve]

I put over 18 hours into this game...and loved every second of it.

[@walter0bz]

horses for courses. gradius v is fantastic i admit. first isn't always best. r-9 pwns vic viper :) rtype final has many variants of weapons.. but i'm fan of simpler well-designed objects. what i like in r-type - the different weapons switch tactics. shield attatch/detach front/back chargeable shot, and switch 3 types of laser. -> then the levels are designed around this variety. more possibility in the system gradius more just blasting .. no harm i guess ikaruga's system didn't appeal to me.

[@karuyag]

lol... no one uses mega crash... shield isnt as useful either.. and you'll hear the warning noise alot more with it... so that leaves... hmm...

[@brianshinazugawategar9113]

Bro are you still alive

[@NARFNra]

This is the Hardest loop, on the hardest mode. It isn't as hard normally.

[@AndrewofDoom]

I envy this guy.

[@lonercm]

Oh my god how do you avoid all that crap flying at you?

[@walter0bz]

hell dobkeratops only sits still lashing tail. but its a nice creature design. Schmup bosses not known for IQ, it's not their purpose. R-Type was made by Irem gradius V is spectacular high pace game true, and i really want similar game for modern console in 1080p. (even port gradius V please konami!) but best ever elements in schmup history appeared in r-type :)

[@Takasato2006]

I love Death

[@gizelbelcoot]

new one announced today for PSP music by zuntata

[@GRADIUS5fan]

DUDE u get mauled but u make it look so easy!

[@ZeroFlowww]

@andreicavoleau mega crush is a weapon that eliminates every enemy on the screen to dust..... (except bosses!) and it's the most weakest weapon in the game!

[@zZKaZuRaZz]

Whoever is it driving those "Boss" space craft is a BIG TIME noob.

[@aliultimate009]

to ( roniepao ) Gradius - thunder force & even ikaruga own R-type XD Gradius is better than R-type because of the musics - tough bosses - Graphics & even 2 player mode ^_^ thunder force is better than R-type because of the same reason but only the problem is the 2 player mode ^_^ ikaruga in everything better than R-type XD OH and one last thing ^_^ i think none had noticed that R-type may was also made from konami because it was in MSX while konami was mostly making the best MSX games ^^

[@KyosukeShigeru]

man that was awesome!

[@rynexmkIII]

ur not dying... the bullet is hitting u.. unreal

[@Allikiza]

And I thought the SNES Gradius 3 was intense... Spilting concentration between attacking a evading is hard enough, but those bosses attack patterns were insane....

[@louping111]

oué avec le code invincibilité sa devient plus facile,on voi clairement quil se fait toucher a plusieur reprise..

[@gizelbelcoot]

famitsu scans search google or must be on gfaqs, well you can wait for trailer and more since TGS isnt far away

[@VIDEOTRONICSUK]

IS THIS GAME ON ARCADE OR CONSOLE???

[@zhangliubao]

nice move~

[@LolUfufufu]

this game is for hardcores!

[@TronPachioftheDynamo]

@zZKaZuRaZz They're autonomous and sentient. No one is controlling them directly or remotely.

[@aliultimate009]

konamy already admitted that it was a legendary game when i bought a Gradius collection package it says that behind it ^_^

[@Oxaran]

he has no shield

ビッグコアmk-IVをガチ勝負とか神過ぎるwwww

[@John845]

Wow that is super cheap. Where did you get a modchipped ps2?

[@KingScar06]

How come those circles never seem to hit you on the first boss? O_O You're freakin' awesome.

[@hyacinthax]

Is the hit box really that small?...I mean at 00:17 that bullet passed right through him

[@ウメ吉-e1l]

ビッグコアをぼぼ同時に破壊しているのがミソだな

[@generalbroly]

This is on a very hard setting is it not??

[@JaketheSnakeESP]

@jmuir29 eh that's bullet hell games for you xD

[@Astral_Feline]

4:00 How the fuck were youable to dodge all those fucking lasers O______O

[@walter0bz]

wow! any links ?

[@Richter8700]

無敵？

[@kdreamland]

R-Type Delta feels slightly more epic. Final is ok.....Giga Wing/Mars Matrix is one of my faves..., G-Darius, DonPachi, Galaga, Space Invaders 95, Ikaruga.... love shumps. Feel free to add ne I've missed

[@chimera1277]

its for the ps2

[@enryb]

wow...

[@TheJohnnee]

There is a Mario fan game called "Mushroom Kingdom Fusion" that uses this boss music.
