New Umihara Kawase thread again because starting the other one with a webm with a black image as a preview was a bad idea.
What's the best game and field in the series?
Here's another webm
>>2069178
is that from the 3DS? the gfx look too smooth to be SNES or PSX
>>2069208
Nope, it's Playstation. At most it could be the DS port, but the res looks too big.
If anyone is curious about the source for those webms, I converted them awhile back when the format was allowed for 4chan. They are from this compilation of Umihara material. http://www.mediafire.com/?6j21i8vw37fc7#6j21i8vw37fc7
>>2069357
Oh fucking fuck how
Can anyone here actually do that shit
I was good at Worms roping, but this is some different level stuff.
I tried this game and got destroyed by it.
Gotta give it a try again someday.
>>2070153
I'm good at aottg and I can't rope for shit in this game. Still haven't beaten any of them.
BTW, does the 30 minute rule still apply to the PS1 and DS Umihara Kawase?
>>2070169
>BTW, does the 30 minute rule still apply to the PS1 and DS Umihara Kawase?
It does in the DS version, I was kicked into the last field several times after spending too much time on some pre-crab fields.
>>2070169
Yes, I have no idea if it's in the 3DS one though.
I used to be pretty good
When I played Umihara Kawase Shun I was able to loop myself around to the first level in about 24 minutes or so
didn't seem to find an actual ending door with credits like the SNES version, maybe I just didn't keep at it enough
I'd get absorbed in the more insane time eating levels with long trap corridors or slide shenanigans
>>2069159
I think one of my favorite fields is the one in SNES with the bridge that breaks, you can attach your line to the end of it as it swings to increase your momentum and fling yourself to the upper right corner where there's a ledge you can't even see unless you launch yourself that way, with a secret exit door to boot
I also really liked how some of the fields were like, other fields flipped completely upside down, so you'd die if you didn't throw your line with perfect timing at the start, because you'd fall off the top (bottom?) of the map
>>2070842
I think you're mixing two levels up. There is one with a breakable bridge, but the level with the hidden door at the very top right is in one of the school of fish boss levels.
>>2071523
aren't those the same level?
Has that one anon ever posted hack of SFC Umihara he was working on?
>>2069208
that's 60fps for u, isn't 3DS like the only one that runs on 30?
I missed this thread.
>those webms
thanks for making me feel like complete casual
>>2072198
I went to the top right corner secret door level for you. It's a different one than the bridge. This level had the swarm of fish.
>>2073530
>>2073508
Don't worry, I'm pretty sure most of us are giant casuals compared to those videos.
>>2073530
the one with the bridge has a secret door.
>>2073483
Same here.
Been playing the 3DS version, still having trouble with some secret door.
Did someone say Umihara Kawase thread?!
>>2069178
This game is just too pretty.
>>2074584
I can't get over how cute Umihara is with her loli face and huge boobies.
... Anyway. Still trying to get good at speeding up. I can get most secret doors, but I often find myself taking a minute on a swing that should only take a try or two to get right.
>>2075050
How about this?
>>2075343
Moar plz.
>>2075343
Pointy.
>>2069357
That's freakin' cool. How creative.
Also, wasn't someone working on a hack to move the scores, lives, and timer out further from the center?
Realistic Umihara.
>>2077164
I like it!
>>2073530
There are two different fish-swarm levels in the game.
been working on this for some time
it's almost done but fuck the last crab boss i mean seriously ugh
>>2078557
forgot webm
>>2078563
Sweet webm. Any more of those?
>>2079072
I really hope Umihara Kawase threads don't end up turning out like Touhou threads in /jp/ do at some point.
>>2078563
when doing stunts like this do people use the d-pad or a joystick??
>>2079151
There is no magic control pad that lets you do this stuff, use whatever you are comfortable with and just play it til your fingers bleed.
>>2079243
>until the joints in your fingers fuse together from overuse
>>2078490
Yeah, the other is a flipped field.
Besides Bionic Commando which is different in its own right, what are some other games that let you swing on a wire?
I've seen this game on gamecenter cx, but never knew there was any english versions until that 3DS release, were the older games released in the U.S.?
>>2079484
Rockin Kats for the nes.
>>2079151
It's a tas
>>2079495
Nope. There is an english "translated" version of SFC Umihara out there though, not that you need it.
>>2079840
would you say I should play any of the earlier games? maybe i'll just grab the 3ds game
>>2079854
Not him but both previous games are well worth playing, and were re-released in a DS compilation if that's convenient for you.
>>2079854
They're all good except the PSP port. Fans of the series rank them all differently. If you wanted to emulate Umihara Kawase Shun before buying Yumi's/Sayonara that might be a good idea, Shun's physics are closer to Sayonara. I personally like the original the most.

Any good ideas?

They seem pretty fleshed out, all the animations are there and shit.

Personally, I think it would be hilarious if she were drawn Obari style, dramatically reeling in something big from off-screen.
>>2080559
Draw her with Chun-Li's anatomi in her black qi-pao.
>>2080587
Make it happen, drawfags
>>2080559
Draw her swinging out of an exploding sushi shop, monster fish included in the blast
Played the snes version a bunch and now im having a hard time adjusting to the playstation sequel. I could swear they made the rope shorter or your character feels heavier or something.
Also, god damn the difficulty escalates quickly if you keep going through the tougher doors.
>>2079917
That looks like one stage of Sayonara.
It took me long enough, probably ~100 or so tries.
>>2082686
Stage 33, right?
>>2079917
Took a quick look around and noticed related picture, which I thought was such a brilliant idea and felt heavy nostalgia since I had one (obviously not Umehara themed) around first and second grades of elementary school.
>>2081747
It's not really shorter, but tighter (less elasticity).
>>2079151
tas but if you want to actually git gud, solid d-pad is the way too go
>>2079891
Shun's physics are pretty much copy/pasted from SFC, the only difference is the rope's shorter length which allows for better movement control.
On the other hand Sayonara's rope is much more slower, with completely different engine.
>>2080559
So this is what came of it, I'll probably cram in more mobs and things later
>>2084842
Love it, neat style.
>>2079065

>>2085502
getting to the left door on that field is so fucking hard
I always use up like the entire 5 minutes if I don't use save states, if I even make it at all
Yumi's Odd Odyssey is on sale for $10 until December 1st if anyone is interested.
>>2090148
It's hard, but not half as hard as what awaits you on the other side of the door.
I really need to get Sayonara soon. If enough people buy it, maybe they'll also release Kanzenban on the 3DS store!

It has just about everything, but it's from before Sayonara's release.
I was actually hoping to flare up the Sayonara competition from the last thread again.
>>2092182
Thank you so much
>>2092182
Oh man the OSTs of the old games have been deleted.
>>2080089
Did you ever finish your hack?
>>2092202
Awesome.
>>2092163
>>2092182
>>2092186
I would just like to bring the attention to this really old /vr/ post: https://archive.moe/vr/thread/833246/
This thing saved me from a lot of grievances, you don't need 100MB+ files to listen to old games OSTs, which are hard to hunt and are probably going to be ultra-compressed, it's way better having foobar or winamp synthesising the music on the fly, it sounds better and for the most part each song isn't more than a couple of measly KB.
Take the Umihara Kawase example:
http://snesmusic.org/v2/profile.php?profile=set&selected=15165
>51KB
51KB for a whole OST, now that's something. If you're autistic as me you'll want to set this shit up.
>>2092237
Interesting.
>>2092182
fun/autistic fact, some of the Sayonara songs are very slightly faster than their Shun/SFC counterparts
>>2092182
>I was actually hoping to flare up the Sayonara competition from the last thread again.
We can do that, what's your name on the rankings?
>>2090261
Hasn't there only been like one DS game released on 3DS eShop? I think it was an Advance Wars game.
>>2092685
Advance Wars Days of Ruin, only in Japan, only for Club Nintendo platinum members.
>>2092196
no
otherwise it's done but for release, i need to know how to disable the 30 minute rule.
>>2097197
>>2097205
No need to play the devil's advocate to start a conversation.
I've never been able to reliably get more than a few levels into the sufami game, but I keep on playing it because the grappling hook mechanics are so ridiculously fun
>>2097205
>People only like Umihara Kawase because it's a woman with huge boobs and loli face
That's stupid because the in-game graphic doesn't look even remotely sexual.
>>2097205
People only like Megaman because it's a man with big buster and shota face so they can be pedos and justify themselves
You know this is true. The games are mediocre at its best. You can't rely only on the shooting mechanic for so long. The graphics are terrible, the story is non existant, and there's no charm to the characters/enemies, it's just robots.
I want to play this for the first time, what's the best version to start with?
>>2099095
Snes
>>2099150
aint the snes version the one that you have to clear under a strict time limit and using the correct warps only? doesnt seem that good for a beginner to me
>>2099153
The first two games have an invisible 30 minute timer. If you clear a field after the 30 minutes have passed, you are sent to a randomly decided ending field. And no, you aren't punished for taking a wrong path. The only bad door to take is one in the PSX game that sends you back to floor 0.
>>2079484
Not /vr/, but Chain Dive on the PS2 is incredible.
>>2079484
Liero.
New gameplay mechanics!
>>2102223
Kawase in Smash would be so awesome, but it'll never happen.
Does Kennyman666 still hold the world record in Umihara SFC?
>>2102296
Neither will my request to see her become OBARI AS FUCK apparently... ;_;
>>2102223
>tfw I'll never be the director a new umihara clone PC game
I think a move that cuts your line instantly (5ish frames) and provides a new one, while stunning enemies within 5-10 pixels of umihara's hitbox would be neat.
I'm late to the party, but I bought Yumi's Odd Odyssey.
So I at least tried to give it support.
>>2102641
You did good, anon.
>>2102624
Metroid-style powerups are a terrible idea in UK, but it's fun to imagine.
I think a fan project would benefit most from a nice level editor.
>>2102918
http://ndirt.com/umihara/doku.php?id=start
We made a wiki and started SNES Umihara Kawase level editor development way back.
To my knowledge the editor was like 95% done but the coder guy suddenly stopped answering to e-mails. He might be dead.
Such a shame
>>2102924
Was this the same coder that was paid to do it? Or was that just an offer that nobody picked up on?
I also still can't access ndirt without a password.
>>2102930
>I also still can't access ndirt without a password.
It should say it on the login window.
Username: umihara
Password: kawase
>>2102956
You're absolutely right, my bad. I always dismissed the text as a generic error message.
>>2102959
>generic error message
No such thing. All messages are "generic" if you don't bother to read them.
So you're one of those people who just closes out of error messages without reading them? I fix computers for a living, and it's lazy people like you who keep me in business. For that I salute you. If everyone who owned a computer could take ten seconds to read an error message and try to comprehend it, I'd be unemployed.
>>2080559
Paizuri, just put a link to it.
>>2092982
I know how to disable the 30 minute rule. I'll tell you if you put my name in the credits.
>>2104482
Okay, let's do it.
Bonus point if you know how to change the starting amount of lives.
>>2102930
Well, paid, but not yet. I promised him 100 EUR as soon as the job's done.
>>2104629
Not a problem, but how do I know you're the genuine article?
Can I see a screenshot showing what you've done so far?
>>2104720
Well I'm at work at the moment, so I don't have the nigh-complete thing to show. I do have a screenshot of the title screen though.
I also made >>2078563 and >>2085502 AND I'm the guy who was supposed to pay the editor coder guy
>>2104726
Awesome. Here's what I've figured out.
@ 0x69AD, CE 52 02 <--- DEC $0252
//The timer decrement. Change to EA EA EA for infinite time.
@ 0x0535, 10 <--- starting lives
//Self-explanatory.
@ 0x053a & 0x0539, 08 07 <---- starting time, "thirty minute" default mode
@ 0x0543 & 0x0544, 2c 01 <---- starting time in "five minute" mode
// The second byte is the high byte, so 08 07 is actually x0708, which is 1800 (seconds, obviously)
>>2104740
>EA EA EA for infinite time
Oh and just to clarify: That's for disabling the thirty minute rule. It doesn't disable the timer for individual levels.
>>2104740
thanks
expect a release soon enough
How would you like your credit? I put my own name in ASCII to an unreferenced part of the ROM so if you open the ROM in a Hex Editor, you might see who's behind the hack.
Did you mean like, into the real credits? Or in a separate readme.txt? And what name? Princess Sevenleaf?
>>2104845
I was gonna say put my name in the readme file, but you make it sound like you don't have a readme. Don't just hide your name inside the ROM, that's way too humble. People need to realize good rom hacks don't just materialize in dark corners of the internet; they're created by people. People like us. We've created something of beauty, and you need to OWN it.
>>2104857
I don't feel the same way. In fact, I find the act of signing any of my work somewhat repulsive.
But I will add you to the real credits roll if you want/I'm able.
>>2104993
I have to agree. Just write it somewhere in the ROM or mention it on the site you plan to release it on.
Okay the hack's done. Not much to say here, but a few things:
• The doors no longer have effect on your path. This hack essentially makes you play through all 49 levels. This is the main 'thing' of the hack.
• Because the game is now way longer, to compensate the added challenge the 30-minute rule is no longer there (thanks, Princess Sevenleaf) and you start with 50 lives.
• Two of the unused enemies (the Puffer Fish and the Catfish) are featured in their respective levels. You have to play 'til you find them though.
• Save the hack and the next time someone makes a UK thread or a Rom Hacking thread, post the link. I usually don't keep things too long so if my mediafire account gets deleted or shit just dropbox it or something.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/855s2bw6dog6pav/Umihara_Kawase_2_Journey.smc
Sure, the game's now as linear as it gets, but at the same time it's the ultimate sightseeing and a tough challenge. I expect you to post your final scores.
>>2105348
This is awesome, thank you for your hard work.
>>2105348
If I still have the login info for my mediafire account, I'll mirror it for you later on.
>>2105348

Totally rad, bro. Thanks for your hard work. Stuff like this is why /vr/ is easily the best board to browse these days. As soon as i get home from work i'll give it a go
>>2105348
Nice job Anon
But can we have an alternate hack with just the 30 minute rule removed?
Or even better an options menu to enable/disable certain features of those.
>>2105485
No, because there was contribution to the project here.
>>2105413
Well, you could make a Game Genie code easily
>>2105348
I realize its more work (probably a lot more?) but if you can make it into an ips patch file or whatever the cool kids use these days, places like romhacking.net would host it indefinitely.
>>2105530
ips patches are easy to make, it's basically the same process as applying a patch, but in reverse.
>input filename for unmodified file
>input filename for modified file
>click "create patch"
Softlocked here. No idea if ive got an oudated shit emulator or if these guys are actually a problem.
>>2105550
Strange
Never had any problems myself. Try 1.53 or bsnes
>>2105550
I think this is actual ingame bug since similar freeze happens when you catch the red fish in similar manner.

>>2105654
Im too out of practice for this shit. Yeah, I know what else is coming. Pretty cool how they made what is technically the exact same boss so interesting just by changing the level around it each time.
>>2105654
This
there should be a way to bypass this and the flying fish field as these are the 2 most difficult levels in the whole series
>savestates
>>2105662
What do you mean by savestates? I haven't used them.
>>2105663
Just meant it as "it would be too cheap to use savestates" kind of thing
So I found out that every time you die, you're penalized 20 seconds. So it IS theoretically possible to run out the "infinite" timer, if you die 90 times.
It's easily fixed, but starting with 50 lives makes it a non-issue. Are there even 40 backpacks in the game?
>>2105661
nice score bro
>>2106386
Man, do you even want a high score in umihara games? Maybe it's more like golf. If you're slowing down to actually capture enemies, doesn't that make you not AS FAST?
Although I guess if you're godlike you can capture enemies while mach hopping. Do we have an official term for that yet?

Made it in the top 20 in a handful of levels.
Not that I really care about times, I just like swinging around.And I still haven't beaten the second crab boss, also need to unlock two more stages, I forgot which
>>2132907
I have a few #1 times on NA in survival mode. Haven't played in forever but still monitor these threads. I feel like no one in this region really bothers to play survival paths or else those times would be crushed.
Recently bought Sayonara, haven't given it as much time as I'd like. I'm okay, definitely room for improvement with physics.
>>2133713
I managed to get in the top ten fastest Survival clears after having the game for about a week. I'm actually surprised at how easy it was; it really doesn't seem like that many people play Survival.
Or rather, it implies that not many people have beaten Survival. You do start with only four lives...
>>2132907
Today I topped the European / Oceanic rankings for stage 44.
I can't seem to unlock stage 42 in Sayonara.

Oh my god, this game brings on the ultimate nostalgia for me. Back in 1994 me and my father moved to japan for the winter because of some business deal his work made or something. First week there we mostly had fun going to the fishing ponds and some of the arcades in the morning and then walking around trying to get to know the area. Few days later after coming home from temp school dad started telling me about a cool game system that was like a home arcade machine called a Super Famicom that he heard about at his new job. Started to beg for one for christmas as the days went on. Then comes the 22nd. After fishing at a pond I'm told I have to stay up super late tonight for an un-told reason. Around 11 at night I'm told to get my stuff on and get into the car. Half an hour later we stop at a store that stays open late and sells games. We walk around a bit and look a some games and beg to get a few. Finally at midnight we get in line and I jump for joy when my dad had the clerk grab a sfc off the shelf and Super Mario World. The Clerk also pulled out a big shipping box and out came a copy of Umihara Kawase. Needless to say we spent the whole next day playing Umihara and Mario. Best early Christmas ever.

I think it's naivety expecting to use the swastika these days and not having it linked to the obvious connotations that go along with it, regardless of the intentions.
>>2144241
Its naivety in the west to think that. In the East, the swastika is viewed mostly as a symbol of luck and other religious purposes. A few years of war in the west isn't going to change thousands of years of their tradition.
>>2144287
I keep hearing that, but I would love to see some sort of test with a picture/word association and show them the swastika to see what actually happens.

Well, now I know what to get to my gf for xmas.

When going to Kyoto and getting a map of all the city shrines, you'll see a fuckton of them.

What the fuck's wrong with you, son.
Any why doesn't snes9x play this shit right, i hate having to open up another emulator when it's Umihara time.
thanks 4chan now i have a good DS game on my list.
Also is the DS version good?.
>Goddamn 4chan won't let me post for my shitty country.

Hehe sorry for this comment, i was in a hurry since shitty 4chan filtrers won't let me post anything, but i managed to use another IP for that.

I have the DS version, and it's awesome. It has both games and some extra shit. Plus, it's portable, so you can play it on the crapper.
any hack to remove the fugly hud?
>>2151941
press 3 on keyboard on snes9x
>>2151962
look who's got egg on his face now. I only played this once some years ago and there was a weird emulation problem with the water where it all went gray or something, plus that thing with the hud so I didn't bother.
do we have a "grappling hook essentials" list? mostly interested in this because I love worms but uk always struck me as the kind of game that will take you months before you can even grapple around without fucking yourself up constantly
>>2151990
Super Secret Ninja isn't really retro (2004, made for some tiny filesize contest IIRC), but it's all about grappling and the physics are close to Worms (though slower and therefore more controllable).
Happy year guys

It is. But it's so worth it.
I love how eerie the SNES backgrounds are.

Happy new year to you.

I have the DS version and it is the best version of both the SFC and PSX games. Slowdown present in the SFC game has been removed and now the timer measures to centiseconds. It has a remixed soundtrack, however, and some songs now play in different levels. The PSX game had a few doors and levels added to it, and the map on the bottom screen is helpful. Pretty much the only downside is the lower resolution.
>>2156187
Me too. It makes the whole game seem somber and kinda cold. Like a dreary overcast autumn day.
I think that's a big part of what drew me into the game initially, was its palette choices. You rarely see those kind of "earthy" colors in a game from that era, usually it's about making everything as flashy and colorful as possible.
>>2157720
Theyre, in fact, actual photographs and judging by the compression, originally GIFs.
>>2158102
Anon please the SNES has a limited palette, obviously they would need to be compressed to make its way to the SNES.
And GIFs have nothing to do with this. If it was black and white photography GIFs can use all 256 shades of grey necessary to save them without any compression.

Fucking awesome.
>>2105348
THANKS!
Why don't you 'keep things for too long'?
Has anyone ever tried to rip the backgrounds from the games in wallpaper (or near wallpaper) resolution? They are fucking beautiful.
Requesting tips for the SNES Daddy Seahorse level. I can never get behind him fast enough after i 'trick' him into going to the other side, since he just spits a ink cloud at me before i can reach the door.
>>2160940
it's a really short swing as there's not much space but it adds enough speed to reach the door. I really like this exit, as it demonstrates well how arcade tight is UK's physics system
>>2161309
Thanks.
New to Umihara Kawase. I recently bought Sayonara Umihara Kawase on the eShop and I've been enjoying it so far.
Though, I was wondering how is this player able to latch onto the upper platform in this video around the 9 second mark? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQr4o-6zOWU
Is it because he has momentum before he jumps? I can't seem to reach it while I'm jumping.
>>2161501
You see how around the 11-12 second mark of the video, when he shoots his line while he's still in the air and once he lands he jumps again pretty much straight away? That's how he was able to reach it.
Not as fast, but you can also stand on the right side of that platform, jump, shoot your line diagonally right at the very top of the jump and jump again immediately after landing, and if you've timed everything right you'll reach it.
>>2161583
Oh, I get it now. Thank you for your help!
>>2161617
Glad to be of help.
So I bought an Umihara Kawase R-18 dj at winter comiket this time around. Would /vr/ be interested in pictures when I get back to my dorm?
I don't have any scanner or anything fancy like that though.
>>2161714
Sure, but you should probably upload them somewhere else since this is a blue board and the thread could get deleted if you post them here.
