Raiden II (Arcade) - No-Miss 1-ALL
Played on MAME 0.256
My second clear of Raiden II. Not really a score or distance PB, but basically I was mildly annoyed my first clear died right at the end due to something as dumb as an incorrect weapon grab. I then decided why not just clear again and try 2P since it kind of forces to no-miss the game.
In Raiden 1, the blue ship had lower difficulty and made the game easier. Raiden II doesn't have that, but the 2P side starts with the yellow bombs which is pretty awesome. So what is the problem here? Well, Seibu thought it would be a brilliant idea to have checkpoints when using 2P instead of instant respawns similar to the japanese versions of Raiden 1.
I find the checkpoint implementation in these games to be very poorly designed: routes and speedkills rely on being at almost max power, lives are sparse, trying to get powerups usually ends up with you dying again because the harder stages are a lot more crowded.
The blue ship also has a different item order. It's almost identical to 1P with the exception of the 7 bombs in a row near the end of it, 6 of them are cut so the P item appears much earlier (beginning of stage 5 as opposed to stage 6), so if you die halfway through stage 4 you can actually recover with a P item. From what I noticed dying twice in stage 8 on no-miss pace also gives a P item.
I have the suspicion the reason they changed this is because, when you're close to that 7 bombs in a row part of the item order as 1P and die, the fairy will pretty much only drop bombs which really isn't as helpful as it sounds, I guess to make things "easier" for 2P all these bombs were just removed.
Anyway, in my opinion the differences in the item order for the second half of the game kind of just makes things more inconvenient. Juggling weapon items in stage 5 is generally more annoying and you can't bomb there as much, there is one bomb in stage 6 that can be hard to get, the last weapon item in stage 7 can be more troublesome since it's not the last one (hence why I delay destroying that item carrier).
I died in 2-3 because I accidentally left alive a tank I really wasn't supposed to spare lol and got to the boss but by that point I didn't have any fairies remaining.

      I'm currently playing RF2 and I highly doubt I will clear with all the ships. For one, there is double the number of ships and the few times I've done this it was never with a game that had more than 8 characters lol, and also a lot of them I don't find them that good to play (most of the default ones). I'll just do whichever ones I like and call it a day, probably the same for Jet.

      For about a year now, MAME releases have new blitter emulation and it's not necessary to change it anymore (you can see this by going to the slider controls in more recent versions, the Blitter Delay option is no longer there), but the CPU slowdown is still incorrect and too fast. I didn't change the settings for any of my SDOJ runs so what you see is the 'default' experience in MAME.

      For me it plays well on MAME minus a few problems with slowdown, it's a lot less frequent which is a bit problematic in a few select spots for Shot/Laser ships, and pretty horrible the whole way through if you play Expert. There is also an issue where the game can freeze when loading savestates that can be annoying at times. You could try enabling the low latency option in MAME. From the main menu click on 'System Settings', then click on 'Advanced Options' and you'll find it.

You basically have to beat the whole vanilla game without dying, without using a bomb, getting all 5 bee perfects, having a high enough hit counter, AND having a high enough rank in 1 run in order to summon an entity who wipes out every single SHMUP player across the globe. I’m not even kidding, it’s THAT hard!

      Type A-Shot is usually considered the best for clearing, but I don't think you can go wrong with any of the shot types since they have the most amount of bombs. With that said, my recommendation would be to try all the ships in the game and see which one feels the best to you, because sometimes you may not like the 'meta' and when that happens there is no point in forcing yourself to play with a ship you don't really like.
