Athena's Daioh: a traditional vertical shooter that features dynamic difficulty AKA rank! We view a 2-ALL scoring replay of the JPN 2-button version of Daioh. Sikraiken joins as a guest and player of the episodes' replay. He explains the mechanics and scoring tricks, notably manipulating a 1up/2up drop in the first stage! He has recorded a fresh 2-ALL scoring run for this episode that demonstrates an efficient survival route that players of a wider skill level can adapt. We identify that excellent routing cuts out the need for raw skill (reacting and dodging more bullets) therefore playing smart in this way can be a quick road to success!

Furthermore, Sikraiken is asked about his stay in Japan and we go off on some tangents about the mindset one can take going into routing and developing your own gameplay and how that reflects personal enjoyment. We also talk about arcade culture of Japan from Sikraiken's perspective. Enjoy!
