Wow, Raizing makes some excellent stuff. Between Garegga and this, I'm hooked.

GOGOGO!!!

1st run of the day. I felt like I was on fire; then the Stage 4 Boss bitch-slapped me back to reality.



Man, that thing is a pain in the dick. My other runs paled to this one; maybe I'll play something else and come back to it.

This bastard is tough, but I'll get 'em. Doing better; consistently clearing each stage in the 800k to 1mil range.

I finally beat the Stage 4 Boss. I only died once at him, then wasted all of my lives stupidly in Stage 5 because it was my first time there

I think I'm gonna concentrate my efforts on this for now, then move onto Akai Katana later this week.

Oh, quick question: What is the difference between the original and Otokuyo?

Nice work. There is a trick to the stage 5 boss. He opens up on you with a set of turrets after you destroy the missile launchers. As soon as he does this, drop a bomb in the center. It will immediately knock him into his 3rd form. But yeah, the whole of stage 5 is a bitch. After the breeze that is stage 4 (compared to stage 3), stage 5 is madness. You really have to memorize stages 5 and 6 to get any further. Even then, the last half of stage 5 is downright bullet hell if the rank is where it should be (a couple of lives in stock and no continues used).

There are no gameplay differences between the original and Otokuyo releases. Otokuyo was kind of a greatest hits release. It fixed a language glitch when Soukyugurentai is played on non-Japanese systems and it included a demo for Battle Garegga.

I played a little Souky on Sunday morning, but I was just getting frustrated. My left hand has been bothering me lately (carpal tunnel) and I kept running into bullets or playing sluggish overall. Goddamned stage 3 boss makes me want to turn the game into a frisbee.

[foxhound1022]

Yeah, Stage 5 is balls. I always end up using most of my bombs on the Stage 3 boss, 'cause if I don't the prick takes forever to die.

Oh, I found out if you lock-on, then bomb, it does a multiple aimed bomb attack, but only uses one from your stock. It doesn't seem very strong, though.
