Parodius Da (Arcade) 1CC with Live Commentary

[@psymagearcade]

I watched the whole thing and I really liked your commentary. I'm now more interested in playing this game. You're quite an interesting character in the shmup community, and I've enjoyed your appearances on The Electric Underground's channel. Also, I don't mind if the commentary is live or if some parts have been re-recorded as long as the audio levels aren't wildly inconsistent. I thought it worked just fine here.

By all means, do it, emulate it in MAME until hamster can port it to ACA! The Playstation / PSP ports are not the same because the rank system was heavily toned down. Parodius is fantastic and its easily one of my favorite games in the gradius series.

@@kyokusagani8869 Hmm, I'm not that crazy about rank systems so honestly, I might not mind the Playstation version. I actually already have it as part of the Parodius Deluxe Pack. I didn't know the PSP version featured on Parodius Portable was like that as well. I would have expected differently because IIRC, M2 worked on that compilation.

@@psymagearcade If you're playing either of those ports, You may disregard everything I said about rank control and play it like a normal Gradius Game. Taking as many speed ups as you need. M2 Ported the PS1 version over because that's the source code konami provided.

Whichever is easiest to put out new videos, live, has my vote. Looking forward to your Gradius 3…

Nice job on the 1CC! I'm cool with the commentary as is. Live commentary seems incredibly hard to sustain for a long time naturally, especially in intense sections, so I feel it's okay to replace it with post commentary if you feel sections are lacking either due to too much dead air or your brain leading you into somewhere meaningless and completely irrelevant to the game.

I farted out and stumbled when I reached the bubble stage, so that's where I intended to start patching things up, but thanks to Plasmo, i was able to correct some massive misinfo with the way the roulette works too !!!

A question, why do you think shmup players always play the japanese version?

[@kyokusagani8869]

I know exactly why. The Japanese versions are what record holding authorities like GameST have been using for decades. Often times there would be difficulty differences between versions. R-type 2 is a massive example of this; the English version is MUCH easier because they removed all enemies that come from behind. It's easier than creating two separate leaderboards.
