It’s all about level 4. IIRC, I managed 600 million through levels 1-3. I totaled just under 1.2 billion on stage 4 alone. I was frustrated the whole game, but level 4 was just remarkable. The goal was 2 billion, but it just didn’t happen. Comboing level 5 is just not gonna happen. Next will be to better my early level scores so a huge level 4 chain will put me over the top. Fun game…no DOJ, but fun!

DDP:DFK New High Score (1.98 Billion)

Posted in Blog, DoDon Pachi, Games, High Scores/Accomplishments on June 2, 2012 by slateman
I haven’t been playing DDP:DFK lately but there’s no real reason why. It’s a game I can play in front of the kids and it’s generally playable in small doses. Anyway, I opted to turn on the 360 the other day for the first time in a while. Today, I just crushed my old score of 1.7 billion. Chaining is fun, not nearly as challenging as DDP:DOJ and the game looks great. I should be able to get to 2 billion soon. Oh, actually, I had a killer run going when I got disconnected from XBox Live. I lost all my progress. So annoying!!! Anyways, a good run and a new score! Love it!

Ys Celceta: Sea Of Trees!!!
Games: Too Much Shit To Play!!!
Posted in Blog, DoDon Pachi, Games, Skyrim, Street Fighter with tags PSVita on March 11, 2012 by slatemanThere are worse problems to have, I realize. Here’s what I’m looking at though…
First off, I’ve got DDP:DFK going on…LOVE DDP but that’ll be around for a long time. Then I have Skyrim and I’ll echo my DDP comments for this one. My Vita has started getting some love, but more at home than on the go. Then, I have SFxT from GF, which is something I’d really like to own. This is coupled with a bunch of PSN games I want to finish (Rochard, Bloodrayne: Betrayal, Trine and the first Sly Cooper which was free) and Journey on the PSN too! Oh, and I never finished off Outland on the 360. There are plenty of other PSN ones too, actually. RE4 and Hard Corps: Uprising need my love. And we should not forget the impending release of Borderlands 2 (might be a purchase), Darksiders II, RE6, and the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD reboot. Oh, and for co-op games, I’m looking forward to trying out Binary Domain, Raccoon City and I’m psyched about Aliens: Colonial Marines, but I can wait till Mat gets his stuff sorted out first. It’s going to be a good year, I think…if I can manage to get all these games in!
Darksiders II & Borderlands II
DDP:DFK New High Score (1.27 Billion)
Posted in Blog, DoDon Pachi, Games, High Scores/Accomplishments on February 26, 2012 by slateman
Like It's 2004 All Over Again!
Using Type-B/Bomb (n00b, I realize), I just racked up 1.27 billion. I made it to the boss of level 4 and see where there are many possibilities for higher scores. My goal is to figure out alternate paths (I know how to do level 1, just never manage to make it fast enough) and to work on really understanding why I lose my chains so often. Some moments I have several seconds of no activity without losing it, others, it happens really quickly. Is it just like the GP meter in DOJ?
TOTALLY digging this game BTW. It looks like the different styles (power/strong) will give me plenty to work on and opportunities to destroy my record. That’s the goal, of course.
Video: DDP:DOJ First Level Chain
Posted in DoDon Pachi, Games, Video on February 25, 2012 by slatemanOK, there’s no audio here, and like I mentioned below, I think I lost the save file for this replay, so this is it. I finally accomplished this in late 2005 after a long time of practice. DoDon Pachi: Dai-Ou-Jou is one of the most strict, brutal games out there, so I consider this an amazing accomplishment and one of my highlights as a gamer. A complete level 1 chain, 809 hits!!! Hit full screen, and check this out. I’ll likely never be able to recreate this again!

DDP:DOJ: Level 1 Chain
DoDon Pachi: Dai-Fukkatsu Get!
Posted in Blog, DoDon Pachi, Games, Guides on February 25, 2012 by slateman
DDP:DFK
It arrived. It finally arrived! The near-four-year wait has ended. DDP:DFK! OK, it’s really DoDon Pachi: Resurrection. Whatever. Dai-Fukkatsu! So psyched!
I did a few runs, got somewhat accustomed to the systems. The Arrange modes bewilder me, but those can wait. I think I managed 360 million after a few runs. Chaining is obviously a lot easier than in DOJ.
Did I express my utter euphoric excitement? Well, to put things in perspective, here’s my old DDP:DOJ Log. Yeah, I was pretty into the game. I’m going to have to convert over my Stage 1 Chain video from DOJ. Come to think of it…I’ll probably do that now. I think I lost my save game with that replay, so this is the last remnant of visual evidence that I was at one time, somewhat good at my favorite shooter series!
So, while I wait to really dig my teeth into the game, I’ll make some quick links for when I do have a moment to read.

DDP:DFK
Lots of posts today, catching up…
So, I’m waiting on DoDon Pachi: Dai-Fukkatsu. It should be here any day now. It was released in May of 2008 and I’ve been waiting ever since. While I have low expectations (It’ll never match DDP:DOJ, let’s face it), I don’t care. It’s DDP. More when I get it!
Edit: Still waiting!!!
