- G-Darius Tool-Asissted Speed-run by Hoandjzj. This is very interesting game :D
- Emulator used: PCSX-RR v0.1.3
- About the run:
- Play the Arcade mode, and use the game's defaul setting, just change the difficult to "Super Hard"
- Aim for fastest in realtime
- No death
- Aim for fastest in realtime: it depends on the time of killing Bosses and Mini-bosses. With Mini-bosses, capture them is the fastest way. With Bosses, charge the captured enemy into a very strong beam and shot them. And I managed to chose the way with the easy bosses to kill.
- Enjoy :D
Mukki: Judging...
Mukki: Simply blasting one's way through a shmup level may attain the fastest time, but I do not consider it acceptable content for a tool-assisted speedrun. Given the nature of shmups this is merely playing the game and we do not merely play the games here. In autoscrollers of any genre the tools must be applied to a different purpose. Where time is less of a factor the expectations of entertainment are greater. In a shmup I would expect to see a tightly crafted work that consistently flirted with death and destruction (see Gradius) or one that dealt out tightly executed death and destruction (see Gradius 3). This run provides neither of the above; the gameplay is psychotic and, furthermore, it is messy. As an aside, the volume of lag that this style generates also throws the level of optimisation into question. All of the above is reflected in the overwhelmingly negative criticism in the thread. Rejecting for failing to entertain despite sufficient opportunities to do so.
