[怒首領蜂大往生/DoDonPachi DaiOuJou] White Label A-L 1-ALL CLEAR (Score: 48,752,190) [CC Commentary]

The DDPDOJ M2 port got released! Yeah!!! I've 1cc-ed the Black Label and the G-Mode port, now I got a good excuse to 1cc the White Label! I've done both, so what could possibly go wrong?
...A LOT!!!
There are various reasons why White Label is considered to be the most difficult iteration of DOJ, but surprisingly most of the time it's not because of the patterns! The most well known difference is how fast Black Label had the Hyper gauge filled, but even the Hyper gauge pace isn't even the problem.
SOME BULLETS ARE TOO FAST, SHOTIA'S LASER SPEED IS SO SLOW SHE IS BORDERLINE USELESS, SO YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO COPE WITH LESS BOMBS!
Compared to Ketsui, in DOJ it's easy to get stuck if you don't route well! DOJ is indeed one of the most well regarded CAVE titles, but to me, I also can say DOJ is great, but White Label is the worst-aging CAVE title I've ever played! You must score to fill up Hyper quickly, you need to understand how Hyper works despite this is one of the earliest appearances of Hyper / secondary bomb in any shmup EVER, RNG patterns that get so close to unevadable you better sacrifice your Hyper / bomb! Hyper also must be picked up as a dropped item. It's fine on stages because they get dropped at all, but on boss fights? Hyper items only drop WHEN YOU RUN OUT OF BOMBS! DOJ is the only CAVE title that does this! I get it that the development team only had very short time, barely enough to calibrate everything, but in retrospect it's a hard title to go back to after playing SDOJ and heck, DFK! Black Label is the easier and better version to chew!
But I understand why people still stick with White Label. It has fragrance of a Stockholm Syndrome game. It's that fun of a game to learn and cheese!
This run is using Leinyan, the laser booster. You can only carry 4 bombs max, but since the laser will pierce through popcorns, in other words, the popcorns won't disturb the combo gauge as you keep the gauge on a big enemy, it's easier to maintain the combo, which also means the Hyper gauge gets filled faster assuming you know how to keep the combo.
This is the spice that makes DOJ (White Label) special within the DDP series. The Hyper gauge increase correlates heavily with the Hit count. I still prefer the more intuitive ways Hyper gauge gets increased in DFK and SDOJ in particular the Aura quick-charge (yes, Aura quick charge DOESN'T WORK IN DOJ!), but I'd be lying if I say I hate it. So, so rewarding! Because the alternate result is so, so punishing...
Otherwise White Label and Black Label's 1-ALL are identical. I'll comment on mainly on the notable differences of both versions, especially since the widget shows a lot like how Rank works and how and what made the Hyper gauge increase. For the proper DOJ experience, I recommend Black Label. But if you want to taste history, where Hyper System was properly debuted, then White Label is a must try.
This is the M2STG port on Nintendo Switch.
