This is a re-release of the original Special Demonstrations #14 replay, except:
- the video is now in 1080p 60fps, and
- the design of the video layout is now updated to match more recent releases in the series.

These are the Special Demonstrations, a series of high quality replays by some of the best shooting game players out there, donated by the players themselves. As with the past SD releases, the motto is "great players deserve high quality replays", and I hope to continue that with every successive release.

The series is captured by the players themselves, and the raw footage is then processed by myself using Final Cut Pro X, Motion and Compressor into something that hopefully resembles a commercial replay release.

So this was supposed to have been done late last year/earlier this year, as Jaimers originally released his run in October 2019, and we had actually started talking about adding it to the SD Project in early November 2019, but due to my hectic work schedule that exploded around the beginning of 2020, everything in this project fell by the wayside, and it's only now that I've had time to work on it.

However, more importantly, Jaimers has updated his commentary script to be more up-to-date, which is used in this run, and includes a footnote on the discovery of the scoring glitch that is used in the WR-level scores. In his words:

"Want to note that sometime after this run a big scoring glitch was found regarding these enemies that appear in stage 6. If you destroy them on the same frame that you get a laser hit from them, then your current GP multiplier for your chain gets doubled. Since four of them show up in the stage, you can repeat this four times for absurd score gain. You can easily get way past the counterstop if you do this enough times in a run, but since it's a frame perfect trick on a scrolling background it's insanely difficult and luck-based. You can find more details in the link below."

It's pretty interesting stuff, and hopefully we'll start to see full runs of Dodonpachi with this glitch being used, for posterity.

As usual, many thanks to Jaimers for allowing the use of his replay and updated commentary script for the project, and for his patience and help in polishing everything up to the standards expected of the SD Project. Thank you!
