How to ESP Ra. De. ! 1cc with Advice and Commentary (Yusuke) || PS4 & Switch Shmup

[@TheElectricUnderground]

Select Yusuke with Power-Shot to get my Stage Order :-)

[@broken1394]

The hit box setting is in 'other settings' and is fourth from bottom. Playing this at the mo' - super helpful vid. ♥️

Actually the best version for almost all shmups is to play them on FBA Emulatoion via a XBOX360 (RGH), its 2 frames input Lag

I have this on mame love this game and i also use Yusuke haven't 1cc'd this yet

[@Chinopolis]

Great run. These commented clears are invaluable, I wish more people did them.

[@TheElectricUnderground]

I m glad you enjoy them!!

[@chadmolitor6691]

Damn, I've been playing this game for years and I just learned so much about it in one video!

[@xramq1011]

Congratulations on getting the clear! Yosuke produces less slowdown than the other two characters because of the amount of bullets he fires. I don't think is too hard to get to the last boss, but killing her is like 70% of the clear, even in the ps4 her challenges are divided by her phases. Because it's not that difficult to get to the last boss it makes you think you are really close to the clear when you really aren't. Be sure to practice the stage 5 enough before trying 1cc the game or you will lose a lot of time. Unless you are really good fighting Garra you can only afford losing 2 lives before getting to her. In the last pattern of Garra you can guess how big her purple hands attack will be according on how much she had moved before the attack. She can cover almost the entire screen with it. I hope that can help someone. Cheers

[@TheElectricUnderground]

Excellent advice my dude! I forgot that slow down thing was worse for yusuke ha

[@miwa_ArcadeGaming]

Good job, congrats, Mark! Esprade was my first cave 1cc so it has a special place in my heart

[@TheElectricUnderground]

Yeah it s a fantastic game!

[@miwa_ArcadeGaming]

@@TheElectricUnderground It truly was an eye opening experience. I was like "ooohhh, ok, now I get all the cave hype"

[@SleepingCocoon]

very late to this but: your hitbox doesn't actually drift, the character animation just always makes it seem like it does. consider it more like: your hitbox is what you're controlling, and the character's full frame (extends a bit in either direction for when they tilt side to side) is centered on that, even when their torso shifts. once you start to see it more like that, it makes more sense i think. each character has a different amount of lean, but the hitbox will still be what you control. so it may seem variable from character to character as well (and i think this is why m2 opted to make the new character more visually stable), it's the same idea across the board.

[@TheElectricUnderground]

Ahh interesting way to look at it!

[@tomstreethello]

I was going to say this but, thank god someone else was able to point this out. Obviously the hit box doesn’t “drift”, you can see it doesn’t. It’s really quite a stupid thing to say I’m afraid. Sorry but almost every one of TEU’s videos has misinformation like this where he just comes up with his own opinion of what is going on in the games, where this is both wrong and well known to be.

[@RICHUNCLEPENNYBAGS77]

@@tomstreethello But the hitbox is not staying in the same place relative to the sprite, right? It's still confusing.

[@megan_comic]

Never expected Renard of all people to be a shmup fan. The more you know, I guess..

[@c2ironfist]

Loved those long streams! They kept me entertained while I was up late at night. ESP RaDe is my favorite Cave game so these tips are going to useful for a guy like me who isn't very good :p I didn't even know the slowdowns sped up during boss fights that was one you mentioned on stream The other was the moving hitbox

[@TheElectricUnderground]

Thanks for tuning into them!

[@HandsomeBaldManMovieReviews]

Great video. I’m a JB5 guy myself but I’ll have to try Yusuke more after checking this out. The four button technique is a very useful tip!

[@TheElectricUnderground]

Yeah it really helps with the control of the game! You can turn a shot button into rapid by pressing square on it, I recommend 15hz

[@RinMariiiii]

Also Irori's Room has a specific mission where you try to get the extend, and in Arcade Challenge you can just pick Stage 4 Area 1. Switch to Sparta Training and intentionally die right as the 1up train shows up - it'll then put you in a training mode so you can repeat it three times. I would not advise resetting if you miss the extend, don't fall for restart syndrome lmao. I would say just try to make the best of the run so you can get in more practice of the game. Even a failed run can be valuable experience.

[@TheElectricUnderground]

True true ha

[@Mingodough]

You made me buy this. The first time I spent $85 for a standard release of a game (technically more since tax and shipping but don’t remind me) for people complaining for $70 next gen games, I think we have it more rough. Though I’m pretty sure it’s because nobody buys them so they price it accordingly to at least get by. Can’t wait to play it, might pick up an 8bitdo arcade stick too, not the best stick but around mid tier from what I hear, kind of like my level of dedication to fighting games, shmups, beat em ups, etc

[@TheElectricUnderground]

Oh that s awesome!!! So I need to make a vid on how to get the digital release Because it s much cheaper (50 I believe). Also check out this vid for putting together an affordable stick: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWLEepWMetydodU

[@Mingodough]

I looked at that video, 50 definitely cheaper than a 90 arcade stick. But 8bitdo’s new one is wireless and people don’t feel that much, if any lag on it. And wires are always a bit annoying so that has me considering a that higher price a bit more. As for the lag thing, I’m not sure if they properly tested it or not, but there is a wired option if it’s not as good as they say

[@RICHUNCLEPENNYBAGS77]

The dollar is so strong relative to the yen now I ordered this, Kyukoku Tiger Heli, and a magazine for $100 shipped from Amazon. Now's the time to buy any you were thinking about but holding off on lol

[@DarthEquus]

Hell yeah. Watching this with great interest. Thank you!

[@TheElectricUnderground]

I'm happy to hear that! I think this one turned out great :-)

[@SirPootaso]

Starting with the game on Switch, I'm sure your advice will come very handy. Good video!

[@nhutchins]

Well done dude, awesome commentary, I'll have to pick this game up again and give it another go.

[@TheElectricUnderground]

Glad to hear it! I think the hitbox advice will be really helpful

[@Slappaccino]

I finally got a hold of this game and man it quickly became one of my favorite shmups. If only I could read Japanese to figure out what the hell I'm doing in that character room with the decorations and such.

[@DanielSavageOnGooglePlus]

It's interesting learning about the various kind of tricks you had to learn for a 1cc. Or, you mention the way your hitbox sways backwards when you move or having to understand the variable slowdown with Yaksa's red lines. I love M2's incredible engineering work (especially with Arcade Plus) but I do wonder how ESP Ra. De. would feel with those various little things changed.

[@TheElectricUnderground]

Yeah the cool thing is that you can reduce the hitbox size in custom mode :-)

[@darkroronoa]

Grats on the 1cc! I didn't know about the hitbox, now I know what to blame on my stupid deaths lol

[@TheElectricUnderground]

yeah it's a sneaky issue!

[@billcashman5900]

Great video!

[@TheElectricUnderground]

Thank you my dude!!

[@bl6799]

Lots of really helpful information, even for novice players. Thanks for this!

[@TheElectricUnderground]

Glad to help!

[@tubbiele2]

Now playing this one because cool emulation. Thanks for the info and effort!

[@Gigaku]

Thanks for making this video. I'm already pretty close to a 1cc so hopefully, some of these tips will push me to get it. I always did the shortest bomb possible so I'll change that first. I've done a lot of practice on the 4th boss and the problem with the pattern where you bombed for me is that even if you direct it so that you can dodge the pattern, you have then not done enough damage to the boss so you have to face the final pattern for longer where you would probably have to bomb or die anyway. Lots of small bullets combined with the hitbox being pretty unforgiving compared to other Cave games is definitely a big block for me.

[@TheElectricUnderground]

Oh that s cool! Yeah I think in this game the bomb risk reward calc is important. So I d charge bomb that pattern if you have the respurces

[@thee22inchrims]

Very nice clear! Your commentary reminded me of all the ptsd I have from clearing this game last May. That last pattern on gaara man, so many runs fell victim to those hands. Haven’t touched the game since xD

[@TheElectricUnderground]

Yeah ha the last stretch is very tough!

[@1CCJAM]

Nice guide to an awesome game! Congrats on the clear Mark. I found JB the easiest character for the 1cc, but I would like to go back and try a Yusuke clear one day.

[@RuV9999]

this kinda educate me. i want to share my thought about this tutorial(sorry if i called tutorial lol XD). before that this is my experience on Esp.Ra.De so..im MAME player cuz i don't have ps4 to play the plus version. and i have play all characters and try to attempt casual 1CC training (if failed, im attempt to learn the stratergy afterwards and try to not getting hit) from those 3 characters JB was successfully bring me more further and died in the middle stage 5. yusuke ended up in early stage 5 and Iori ended up in stage 4. tbh stage 4 was cut out my no miss run. and i think this is the part that i actually comment in your tutorial. tbh. you're right. the hitbox are ridiculous in ESPRaDe, since there's no hitbox, it makes me more struggling to dodging bullet. now im understand how this game hitbox work thanks to realize that thing and mention it on your tutorial. ummm i might not understand how the stage 4 extend bonus work with the stage that showing train station thing, i've no idea how that can be relate. as far i play, im only got 1 extend in stage 4. there's maybe something i don't know yet back in that day. and the stage 5 was lunatic version to me. im barely read and dodge all of the enemie's bullet pattern, and yes. big enemy there are kinda like bullet sponge and i hate that thing XD. And i was not thinking the stratergy of stage 5 midboss. doing turn around stuff like that. when i was there im just thinking dodge,dodge. cause im afraid if im going to the top of the screen the bullet will quickly reach my hitbox. and it also the same with after midboss maid enemy. i was thinking dodging without turn around stuff. the final boss however are too hard and it takes 3 credit to me. the hard part is her 2-4th bullert pattern. the final one was kinda tricky but easy to understand. and im realize that too before. i might try that tutorial on my MAME ESPRaDe run. and hoprfully it help me a lot there!. Good video btw. need more tutorial guide of cave games like this!

[@RuV9999]

oh also. in case someone don't know. i forgot to mention that first stage selection is ordered by character selection. yusuke got school stage, JB got mall casino stage, and Iori got bay stage. not ordered by button. (tbh idk what ps4 version does but. in arcade that's how it select the first stage.)

[@TheElectricUnderground]

Oh so in stage 4 you should get two extends. The first extend is that hidden extend on the train that I describe. The second extend is a score extend at 40. I hope this helps!

[@RuV9999]

@@TheElectricUnderground hmmmmmmmm...i see. i might try that later. thanks.

[@hooksnfangs6006]

Great 1CC! I gotta practice stage 4 & 5 some more since they're the killers of my 1cc runs. I play Iori and Alice since I score best with them. But Yusuke is always there if I just want to mow down bosses :p

[@ShamanNoodles]

Such a cool watch. You're an animal!

[@TheElectricUnderground]

Was a brutal clear!! Glad you enjoyed!

[@titi64230]

Ahah for the 5 th boss you do the turn around technic ! I suggest this during the live before you did it , i don t know if my comment was read ... this is awful but it works !

[@TheElectricUnderground]

Yeah I remember seeing jaimers do it a while back but was having trouble setting it up. Thanks for tuning into the live stream!

[@MEDUSAvsSHOE]

Thanks. I thought I was going crazy with the hitbox. I set a goal of beating this before opening the Aleste Collection. I've come to realize that I'm just better at Ketsui Deathtiny.

[@RICHUNCLEPENNYBAGS77]

I am a total noob but I feel like this game is easier than Ketsui by a long shot. otoh Ketsui has the Deathtiny arrange mode which is much more forgiving.

[@el3m764]

Thanks for the hitbox tip, it seemed to help me and I matched my previous best with a single credit. For me it seems that you need to have "power shot full auto" option turned on for it work. It's the first thing from top in "Other settings" menu

[@TheElectricUnderground]

Glad it helped!

[@fazares]

yusuke looks very good with its ability to shoot both the special and normal shot at the same time..ur technique is quite useful given he doesnt spread its bullets that much

[@TheElectricUnderground]

yes he's a powerful boy! Especially since you can get a lot of screen coverage with his special shot whip.

Excellent , i love this game so much ans congrats again. To be truth , my switch says more 50 hours of gaming , and i never go more than 4 level at maximum with 1 CC. Shmups aren’t easy lovers for noobs

[@TheElectricUnderground]

Esprade is also surprisingly tough! I was expecting a nice 8 hour jaunt that turned into a 20 hour grind!

[@titi64230]

Right now i have access to all the cave shmups, so i have the usual question for you : what cave shmup to you think is the more easy or the less harder to finish with 2 or 1 crédit for a beginner ? Maybe without the final boss ? Thanks !

[@EMMA-GAMES]

The hitbox trick is huge for an arcade version player. I wanna play espgaluda 2 arrange on pc qq

[@TheElectricUnderground]

I believe xenia can emulate galuda 2 now, so it's possible :-)

[@kaerithmallock]

I'll try this one in shmuparch, espgaluda2 was too bullshit (and input lag), espgaluda1 is less hard, I still can't do it but it seems beatable, maybe this one will be doable... Edit: It isn't.

[@TheElectricUnderground]

Yeah esprade is tough!

[@kaerithmallock]

@@TheElectricUnderground Yes it is, and without that visible weird hitbox (because rom version) it makes things even harder, I'll stick to bombard savestates on espgaluda for now.

You have Mastered the last section of final boss ... this is suppose to be the hardest part but not for you

In the past I spent like 4 hours just doing save state practice on the hands, so luckily I had that section fairly planned out. Still lost 4 other runs to it though!

You can also overclock MAME to eliminate the slowdowns but who wants to subject themselves to that?
