#488 Power Instinct V: Proof of hacking and playing as Shinjuro.
0Gameplay of the boss Shinjuro in Atlus' Power Instinct V.
This is something of a placeholder video, just to show that I was able to play as Shinjuro in Power Instinct V. It took a number of days to successfully hack him, and after all that effort I thought I'd do a small video on him anyhow, and then do a full playthrough in the future. My current computer simply isn't powerful enough to run this game at full speed and record at the same time (this game runs full speed when not being recorded, which is a bummer), but after all that effort I thought I'd do a small video on Shinjuro anyhow, show-casing his moves and playstyle. He's an incredibly defensive character, with the majority of his special moves preventing the player from attacking him, while dealing substantial damage to the opponent. His super move seems him become invincible, while he reigns down unblockable bullet hell from above as if this was some kind of Touhou game. It's some really crazy stuff, although he's undeniably fun to play as, despite being probably one of the most broken bosses in existence.
This game took me a number of days to hack, although I was finally able to do so after noticing that the Book-keeping in the options menu for this game lists the character values for the characters in this game. While these were in Japanese, luckily I'm able to read both hirigana and katakana, so I was able to tell a few names, and use those to find out some character values, enough it turned out to be able to hack and play as Shinjuro. This is just a taster of Taito Type X games for now, and enjoy it for what it's worth, because we're about to cover a range of some truly awful fighting games over the next month, as well as some obscure but decent titles.
