    You thought Brainmaster was good at Ikaruga...



    Tis a right-click --> Save As.

    Now, personally, this is my least favorite level even on easy. The stupid mini-boss is endless and you can't even damage it until about 3 minutes into the level. There's always a clockwise and a counter-clockwise rotation of opposite polarity bullets flying at you which is so much fun to avoid. And the boss is so annoying.

    But, this guy plays it on normal and not only beats it without taking any hits, he chains the entire level. The boss is down within 24 seconds and he S++ finishes the level.

    Give it a view, tell me how far your jaw dropped.

              Thats nothing.

              This guy does the same thing.

              While controlling two ships at once.



              Don't believe he is controlling both ships at once? Then check this out:



              Here is another guy. Controlling just one ship this time. But he gets an S++ on Chapter 4 too. On HARD.

                I was wondering how he could do it in the first video...then I saw he played it at an arcade.

                I don't get how people can be this good at games...argh. I can do tasks that most people choose not to and it seems really good to most (IE: All trophies in SSBM, Full Nintendo Gallery in Wind Waker), but these reall skill challenges are simply impossible. I don't have that kind of hand-eye coordination to manage two ships at a time.

                I can barely manage one... ON EASY.

                  Would this be similar to ikaruga on dreamcast in any way? I haven't really played either but I can play Ikaruga on dreamcast. Wondering if I should give that a go.. I'm really good at top/side scrolling shooters

                      Ok, well I got Ikaruga for DC. I played twice on normal. I can beat chapter 2.. I'm still getting used to the controls.. The only times I died were when I changed the shield thing (for no particular reason).

                        The first two chapters are easy on any difficulty other than hard.

                        I HIGHLY suggest you switch to Easy if you want to stand a chance on chapters 3 and up.

                          I've beaten up to 4 on normal. The boss is insane with the upgrades :/ Frikin constantly reversing polarity lasers... and the cannon from the middle doesn't help either.

                          The trick is when you know you're going to have to switch fast after killing an enemy and taking his "shrapnel" as I call it, you want to be as close to him as possible so his shrapnel isn't floating around the level for more than a tenth of a second.

                            I've beaten the game on normal.

                            The thing is, it took me forever to be able to do so. I would have never been able to do that if I hadn't had Easy mode to work my way though first.
