Kumamoto, Japan
Guess what we broke the game live at Obscurathon 4, no really, the arcade mode glitchedd out so we fought 10 battles. BUT you get amazing dev commentary and lots of cool combos to look at. Check it out!
First off, if you are here watching this thank you. This game is way up there on the obscure game list, which is why its totally appropriate it was run at Obscurathon 4.
Maybe the other map can be run at another event?!
Obscurathon 4 was kind enough to accept Kakuto Chojin at their event! It was a ton of fun to show off this game. Check out the vod if you have a chance!
This game was officially featured this year at Anime Speedruns Festival 2025. ASF accepted both the Defeat Majunior and the Any% Category as a bonus. Both were played in the vod, check it out!
@chicdead26 I have already begin porting mine to youtube. I give you permission to rehost my videos elsewhere. Just be sure to link me to my youtube @DBcade which is here https://www.youtube.com/DBcade/
Ok, thank you for the response, will try to run off a different instance and install of DOSBox and let you know if there is still issues.
I totally forgot I routed Bill at Oe Game Center and then ran home to do some recordings. Outside of Shingen, this Football Player really has potential.
Was going through the twitch vods during this youtube backup and found this default% run that I did. This was done at a local arcade near me at the end of 2021. It's not a top spot on the board but I thought it a waste to not put this run up for anyone who wanted to try routes with other characters.
Decided to go ahead and update some things this week, and will continuing writing the rules, and testing the game further through gaming sessions.
Unfortunately @OMEGACOMA has stepped down from mod and speedrunning. Still looking for another moderator at this time. If you have a suggestion, question, or feedback please post below, or join the discord.
Here are the new updates
Renamed Categories - Any% is now Single Player. Renamed Categories - Any % Co Op is Co-Op (Unrestricted) Added Category - Co-Op (Restricted) Online Added the variable - 2 Player option to the Co-Op Restricted Online. Double Checked all runs.
Explanation of Single Player
Story Mode - Allows the use of points, and is where you can play with multiple players, It seems 5 is the limit on Steam, 4 on Playstation and 6 for Switch.
Speedrun mode - this mode is restricted to 1 player, points are unavailable.
Explanation of Online
Online Mode - this mode is also restricted, some consoles like switch and xbox are only able to invite 1 other person to a lobby. Points are unavailable to all players. You can not leave mid match, and sometimes random people can join your game because lobbies are not set to private (this issue is prevalent on Playstation more but also happens on Switch. ) Some stages like the Dragonzord stage, losing even once on the boss forces a game over.
I have posted and shared a lot more of the information on the discord. All old runs are still staying even after the update. There is no reason to archive them since the time to beat the game has gone down, especially with addition of the Power Blast moves (Attack + Special) , and the current state of the game feels more complete and less buggy then previously.
I hope this helps some people with understanding the modes. Points are also transferable between difficulties, you only need to level to max once on one file. Good Luck Rangers!
@TheTeneb @AlbertHamik Is there a way to remap the controls? By default it seems to be set to the keyboard.
Took the time today to make some changes.
- Typed out the rules
- Added the icons to the slots
- Duplicate board has been known about for sometime but because of the twitch update informed src about it.
- Ported AlphaNerd's run. (Great watch btw)
- Submitted my own run from a while back now on youtube.
- Added the sudden death mode.
If for some reason you stumble upon this game, have fun, its one of the better Simple Character 2000 Entries.
So I was playing game today, went and watched the SGDQ run by @tbcr after, they mentioned their was clipping by strafing, however never really explained how to do it.
I can't seem to get the same speed or clip at any of the spots. This definitely a game that would be fun to learn this in, but I tried holding ALT for strafe, and using the SHIFT key to build up speed, but I am not able to do anything like in the video.
Do I need specific cycle settings for the game? Am I supposed to be holding a specific key? Would someone be willing to share more info and an explanation of the various clips in the game?
This game has two endings you can get throughout playing,
2nd place ending, which requires you to accumulate 1500 points or more through video games, usually this requires still doing very well in most stages, but intentionally failing when you have the required points. This ending sees you get the 2nd place prize which is a dress that doesn't fit Maruko chan.
And of course the 1st place ending, which requires you a accumulate 2000 points or higher to see the true ending. However this is rather difficult, because you must get perfect scores in nearly every event.
When you are not able to reach either score you wont see either ending or staff roll.
Thanks for the comments everyone, I haven't uploaded my own vids because of the whole twitch change. Ill have some categories and stuff up by the end of the week.
ASF 2025 is also on this year at https://oengus.io/marathon/animespeed
