Special Demonstrations #8: Battle Garegga!

ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ ＷＯＲＬＤ ＲＥＣＯＲＤ！ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ

I was recently in Japan for annual leave from work, to go sightseeing and to meet up with my friends over there, including the Stunfest crew and many others. While there, Kamui very kindly gave me a DVD with a number of replays on it, including one of her most recent WR, and asked if I could edit it for her.

Well, of course I would. No need to ask, it’d be my pleasure. ^_^

So here we are. The Special Demonstrations series has exclusive access to the WR replay for Gain, and in an extra special treat, Kamui herself has provided some in-depth commentary of her strategies throughout the run. There's a lot of technical and strategic information in there, and it's a rare thing to learn some new tricks from it.
It's a rare, intimate glimpse into the thought processes of the world’s best Garegga player. :3

Once again, many thanks to Kamui herself for being so kind to send me the original replays unasked for, of which became the inspiration for the Special Demonstrations series, for taking the time to annotate her own replay, and for working with me in its creation. Keep up the good work, Kamui!

Have a Merry Christmas, everyone! No idea what I'll do for the rest of the series yet, but I'll think of something. :3

Nice gift for Xmas Icarus and nice work

Thank you Mr Icarus for sharing this piece of art.

Awesome run and comments by you two as always, extremely appreciated !

Has GareMAME really become hard to find ?

Looks like it's gone from the internets indeed.
Didn't know garelab was down. ^^"

Outstanding ! Kamui's skills are unbelievable. However, she still goes on...

C'est vrai que c'est toujours impressionnant de voir Kamui jouer.
Sa prestation au Stunfest restera gravée.
Le safe spot avec la bouteille posée sur le bouton qui va bien. Tout ça pour venir sur scène

Tks, icarus for sharing this video.

Je viens de mater le run... C'est absolument incroyable...

Great ! Thx.

So apparently Jaimers thinks he hasn't done anything worthy of being on a Special Demonstration. （⌒▽⌒）

Jaimers, via PM a écrit :Sure I'd love to.
However I don't think that I ever really did anything that is worthy of a Special Demonstration though. :V

So we have Episode #9, featuring Rayforce! I wanted to do something else for a change as we've had just Cave and Raizing the past eight episodes, and featuring Jaimers' recent Western record at this amazing game provided the perfect opportunity to do just that. This was especially important because there is a severe lack of decent quality footage of the game being played for a high score, my own 5.60mil ALL not counted as it's a crappy run to begin with. :V

Thanks goes out to Jaimers for agreeing to contribute to the project, and also for working alongside me to get the replay the way we like it. We've also had some nice discussion between us and R_GRAY1 on Twitter, and hopefully Jaimers can go on to break the 9mil barrier with the things he's learned. Good luck, and many thanks!

Enjoy the replay everyone! I have no idea what to do for the big 1-0, but I'll find something.

That great, I hope we will see Raystorm and Raycrisis.

Thanks again Icarus !

Quality footage of RayForce is a great thing indeed: the game is so beautiful. I started to watched it yesterday evening and I couldn't stop watching... until the end.

And congrats to Jaimers, I shared some thoughts about this game with Ben.Shinobi, who did perform quite well some years ago, and I understood the game was really tough to score.
