Hi there. It's me back from the ashes after months of not being around, but with school being pretty much out of the way, I'm lurking around again!.

Anyway, to the point. I am planning on running Alien Hominid for the GC soon. It will probably be a two-player run with either my girlfriend or a good friend from work playing along (whoever I think is better :P) single-segmented, but I do have a few questions about things that could disqualify it. First of all, there are going to be deaths in the run. It would be extremely hard to try and do a no-deaths run of this game unless it was done level by level (segmented). So with that said, I do plan to use the idea of dying to get a fresh stock of 5 grenades. In some areas, the 1-sec respawn time is well worth the 5 grenades, at least in my opinion. That's pretty much the only question I got on me now, but after we get running on it hardcore I'm sure more will come up. Just pretty much have to get my boss strategies down before we get some serious gaming on. Any feedback will be appreciated.

I had Alien Hominid a while back. I'd definately look forward to the run! Grin

Death Abuse is expected, upgrading your guns throughout is also expected.

Thankfully you got the GC version, the oversized A button is ideal for mashing, plus you'll be uber mashing come the bosses anyway.

Finaly, I believe your run would be definated as:

Best SS co-op w/ death-abuse.

It's a shame there isn't more co-op runs on SDA, I'm interested in this run. (I've never played the game, but it looks cool). Make sure your friend gets alot of practice too Wink

Oh don't worry, me and my girlfriend play it basically everyday all the way through. I don't think I'll have her for the final run though, just for stratedy development, because she has a hard time jumping over stuff :-S Thanks for the input too everybody.

Edit: Also thanks for whoever fixed the title. Smiley

You could have changed it yourself by pressing the modify button.
I saw the guy who has the high score record in this game.. play SS..so I definetly know just from that this could be one heck of a run. Goodluck.

I love YaBB 1G - SP1!

I to have been working on a speed run of this game on ps2 only i was going to do it level by level with no deaths on hard (no sheilds and low firepower). I had made a few trys at a full run but the spaceship levels always screwed me over and the soviet levels i would always screw up on 2-1.So i understand on the not counting deaths but you should have both players set on hard so you don't get sheilds. A few things i learned were to roll everywhere (unless your can get a car), and learn to charge your gun while you throw your bombs it helps a lot with bosses, also there should be no part of the game you should kill your self for bombs you can blow up a number of things to get them from (A lot in the first few levels).Good luck and i hope to see your run soon.
