DoDonPachi DaiFukkatsu Ver1.51

DoDonPachi DaiFukkatsu Ver 1.51 is a special revision of DoDonPachi DaiFukkatsu ver1.5 made for the 2010 Cave Matsuri. Despite what the name implies, it is not meant to be an updated version of DaiFukkatsu 1.5 but more of an arrange mode version of the game. This version plays very similarly to DaiFukkatsu 1.5 with some changes such as the removal of the second loop with the player always facing Golden Disaster after the fifth stage and more.

From here on out, this version of the game will be referred to as DFK 1.51.

Gameplay Overview

Controls

A (Press): Fires the ship's standard shot weapon
A (Hold): Fires the ship's laser weapon
B: Activates the hyper counter if it is fully charged. If a hyper isn't charged, a bomb will activate (Bomb and Strong Style) or switch between Normal and Boost modes (Power Style)
C: Auto-fire for the standard shot

Ships / Styles

You can pick to play as any combination of 3 ship types and 3 styles.

Ships

Type-A: Strong focused shot straight forward, fastest movement speed
Type-B: Slightly spread out shot which rotates towards your horizontal movement (up to 45 degrees), average movement speed
Type-C: Wide spread out shot, slowest movement speed

Styles

Bomb: 3 shots, moderate shot and laser power. A stock of 3 bombs (increases by 1 on death up to 6) which can be used at will or as auto-bombs when hit.
Power: No bomb stock (one bomb item can be picked up and used only as an auto-bomb) but has two different attack modes, Normal and Boost. Normal mode has 2 shots, low shot and laser power and increased movement speed. Boost mode has 4 shots, high shot power, moderate laser power and lowered movement speed.
Strong: 6 shots, moderate shot power and high laser power. Works same as the Bomb style in most other ways.

Changes from DaiFukkatsu 1.5

The amount of buttons the game uses has been decreased from 4 to 3. Hypers are now activated by pressing the bomb button.
Second loop has been removed; Player will always face Golden Disaster after Stage 5. Hibachi can be faced as well but has requirements
Game is locked into Ura route (DDP bosses and 9 bees each stage) even if the player fails any of the Ura route requirements.
Green Bees give bombs and Gold Bees give hyper charge (flashing gives both)
Bees only give 100pts no matter what color they are when collected
Maximum Bonus multiplier limit has been increased due to the higher amount of bombs the player can receive while playing
Pentagon medals no longer give points, but instead give hyper charge
Hyper rank now scales up to 9
Increasing your hyper rank to 7 changes enemy behavior to Omote loop during Hyper
Maxing out hyper rank increases overall game difficulty to Ura loop
Hyper rank resets after stage completion
Strong Style auto-bomb costs two bombs instead of one. Bomb Style auto-bomb still only costs one bomb.
Bombs no longer break chains
Bombs now give score equivalent to the GP meter. Multiplied per laser being countered.
Bombs temporarily increases the maximum GP value above +99,999,999 during its activation time (this can visibly be seen on the X360 port)
Lasering increases hit count every 5 frames normally and every 2 frames during hyper (significantly faster than 1.5, which increases every 37 frames normally and every 7 frames during hyper)
Lasering increases GP value every frame instead of when the hit count increases.
The amount of bullets required to spawn a Jikuukou enemy has been significantly lowered
Jikuukou enemies now release a lot more revenge bullets from their laser depending on rank (blue bullets = low/medium rank, pink bullets = high rank) [not 100% sure if rank is true factor here, just going off personal experience]
Jikuukou lasers turn into large star medals when a hyper is deactivated (whether it’s charge is depleted or cancelled with a bomb)
Bomb items now completely refill bomb stock
Combo gauge no longer breaks if hyper gauge is full (will still break upon death)
Full hyper gauge multiplier has been completely removed
