Good god, I'm trying to help you.
One player gets to use the keyboard, and the other player has to use something else.
Dual mode is not an unlock. I got to use it without ever beating the game.

>> Anonymous
>>129354
...yes, because any shooter that doesn't use Ikaruga's color-changing dynamic obviously fails.

I say Ikaruga is just a cross between Radiant Silvergun and Silhouette Mirage, anyway. It's an excellent game, but it's not like it's anything original.

Ikaruga wasn't really hard at all due to its game mechanics with the light dark color shifting. Or atleast I found it rather easy compared to playing through Shoot the Bullet's EX stages.

The only thing 2 good things about Ikaruga was that it was fun to play, and that it had an interesting system involving the color the bullets. It wasn't really all that difficult to beat if you payed attention to what color you were and what color the bullets were. I think I had more troubles when I played through Radiant Silvergun the first time.

This game isn't really all that hard either, but it is still a blast to play. In reallity, isn't that what a game is all about having fun, and providing a distraction. If I wanted hard I would go play through rRootage again or something.

OR USE DIFFERENT CONTROLS OR CHOOSE THE SECOND PLAYER.

You also have to set the keys for the second player.
>> biscuits
>>129424
ok...to make this ALL clear....can 2 players play on one keyboard?...or atleast hook up 2 keyboard and have one play play on each?

ya see...when you say "set different controls for each player...it doesnt seem to work that right way...
1. i set the keys for player 1...(done)
2. i set the keys for player 2...funny thing is after i set the keys for player one....the default for player 2 is EXACTLY the same as player 1...so i try to give new keys for player 2...after that i go back to play 1 controls and it seems that player 1 has the same keys are player 2....anyone else have the same prob?

ANYWAYS...can maybe someone w/ dual player enabled tell us what each player is using? cuz i sure as hell know that 2 players won't work with one keyboard.

I didn't think I'd have to be so specific.

I have dual mode. I used a controler, a PS2 controler with a USB adapter to be specific, and my friend used the keyboard. After I set his controls (P1 Controls, Enter, set controls) I set up my own controls (P2 Controls, Start, set controls) and dual mode came on.

DUAL MODE IS NOT AN UNLOCK.

This game sucks. It's all focused on aesthetics instead of actually making a game. The collision detection doesn't even work right and at times there is no way one can dodge any of the projectiles on the screen. Yes, use a bomb but it's pretty pointless.
>> Anonymous
>>129589

Play more shmups.
>> Anonymous
>>129589

Above post is right. The reason why collision seems wrong to you is because it's not your entire character, it's a few pixels in the center of your character. This is what lets you dodge those undodgable attacks. It is very possible to beat this game in one credit.
>> Anonymous
And where exactly are these pixels located then?
>> Anonymous
>>129602

When you're in 'tension' mode, grazing bullets, you will see some sparks of light emanating from your character. The center of those sparks is your hitbox. It's very, very small. When you are in tension mode you receive additional points for the coins that you collect, up to 8x when it's flashing red. This is the basic scoring mechanism for Shiki III.

New to Shiki3, you can enter 8x mode for a period of time without grazing by hitting the 'S' key (or button 4 on the gamepad). Cost is 1 bomb. Changes scoring dynamics completely; encourages suiciding to replenish your bomb stock.

If you're good enough, that is. This is a curtain-fire game. It's not for wusses.

"Under WinXP:
Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options

From there, add support for East Asian languages. You'll need your WinXP CD to do so."

Fuck, I don't have a WinXP CD with me... I'll check if it's in the box of discs and manuals and stuff I got from the folks who built my computer.

Add East Asian support, then grab THIS: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/tools/apploc.mspx It will allow Japanese non-Unicode programs to work wothout having the system locale set to Japan. Works fine if you installed the East Asian languages.

Also, you can use ANY XP disk, it doesn't have to be the one you installed from. So if you have a friend, parent, or whatever who has a disk, go ahead and use that to install the files.

well, you seem to know a lot about how this game works. I've played my share of shmups, so Ihave a very basic premise of what to expect with this game. Could you tell me, or at elast provide a guide, to how this game works? when you charge Z, what is that actually doing? I notice each character is unique: what's actually happening when I charge the Z key with each character? Or use the bombs? Will using the rapid fire button reduce the power of my shots, like in some other shmups? Again, a guide to this game would be handy: both google and wiki have failed me on my search for a guide as to waht each character actualyl does.
>> Anonymous
oohhh i've played this game at the arcade. they replaced Ikaruga with it (same maker after all... i think...) here are the basic gameplay mechanics.

- you have normal fire (tap the fire key)a
- secondary fire (hold the fire key)\
- if your character flies very close to enemy fire, your attacks become very powerful (you'll know because your aura will become red)
- when you select your character, you'll get two choices, which offer a slight variation of the character

i'm in the process of downloading this game (stupid college network), but i'm gonna guess it's the same as the arcade version.
>> Anonymous
>>130136

In addition to what>>130169said,

I don't think rapid fire changes the power of the shot. As for the secondary, it's not as big a deal as Shiki 2, where you could only auto-collect coins while you were using secondary fire. In 3, you automatically collect no matter which attack you're using (outside of bombing, I think).

The secondary attack is what changes when you pick one form or another of a character. Usually the second form takes more skill to use, but it really depends on the character.

There's a shiki strategy thread over at the shmups forum...
ttp://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?t=350

It's for 1 and 2, though, so it doesn't take into account auto coin collection and max tension mode. Also, the game's by Alfa System, whereas Ikaruga is by Treasure.

HTH...enjoy :)
>> Anonymous
>>130358

i see... haha, i always assumed Treasure made this as well, seeing as how one of the versions of this game took over Ikaruga, and i noticed that the enemy design (save for the human characters) looked an awful lot like Ikaruga enemies. *shrug* i just realized that this is the third in the series... i wonder which version i played at the arcade. :[
