The Siroi Danmakukun Challenge!

I wish to remove this attack:

[Original]_gyakuhunsya

The enemy dot moves down, and zips open a dimensional rift
of bullets. The enemy dot, however, stops at a point higher
than its initial position and the dot repositions itself
here permanently. Observe in my replay:

I may have gained an advanatage as the dot moved higher up
three times, so I doubt this replay counts. For the record,
it is a 155-second play with one defective attack chosen.
Prior to playing, I have excluded all XML files containing
the defective attacks.

Bern-D, that 140 second replay of yours was great, very nicely done. I got a 160 second one, but it's not the most "honorable" if you know what I mean. And then I got a respectable 92 seconds, but failed to save the replay! Argh.

Thanks cigs, but that annoying Gyakuhunsya (reverse thrust)
attack may have relocated the enemy dot and given me an
advantage. How about this:

Bern-D - 200 Seconds [replay]

Game chose about 4 defective attacks, which are the
following. Either of these may have been chosen more than
once:
[ESP_RADE]_round_123_boss_satoru_5way.xml
[ESP_RADE]_round_5_boss_gara_5.xml

Direct linking is OK.

Died to this attack:
[Progear]_round_5_boss_last_round_wave

What a shame to die to an easy attack. But I did dodge two
DoDonPachi attacks, Kitiku 5 and Hibachi, and I dodged each
twice! I'm happy I could finally dodge them properly.
Whee...

99 seconds. I've deleted the following attacks, so take note:

[ESP_RADE]_round_123_boss_satoru_5way.xml
[ESP_RADE]_round_5_boss_gara_1_a.xml
[ESP_RADE]_round_5_boss_gara_1_b.xml
[ESP_RADE]_round_5_boss_gara_5.xml

Too bad I died where I did, don't really like that attack.

Hah, I hate that one anyways. Gone.

edit- 145 seconds. Replay's en route.

Edit: 75 seconds.

Kind of odd playing other shmups after tackling this thing...they don't seem like such a big deal anymore.

I got a 107, but the progear popcorn attack, and stage 6 parabola showed up for a combined 5 times. kind of weak. the only saving grace was that I survived an attack that had repeatedly caught me off guard previously.

I'll submit my 55 though. ;_;


shame that how to complete the patterns are shown to you though. I don't think I'll be able to avoid the solutions for long. . .

I think it would be best to leave it be. I don't feel the advantage gained (if any) is significant enough to merit its removal. Plus, the last thing we need is everybody running around with a dozen different pattern configs. Let's just stick to only removing the two buggy ESPrade ones.

Aah! Bern-D's time is quietly climbing! Seems I have some work to do.
