PEG's video: DoDonPachi DaiOuJou White Label - Hibachi No-Miss Clear

Hibachi white label no miss clear using the Switch port AC Challenge mode. In this mode you can start directly at the Hibachi fight with unrealistic resources. In this case, you can start with 5 hypers, and a 6th ready to fill up. Even with this setup, it is still a very, very difficult challenge, with very precise timings on everything, and a setup that just barely lets you clear it. Also, you want to use either B-L or A-L, as those are the best ships for fighting bosses and especially hibachi. The fight basically has 4 phases... 1) Needles You need to first start with doing a bit of point blank damage, but not too much, as that will make the later phase much harder. After doing about 18-20 hits of point blank damage, you need to attempt to dodge the needles for as long as possible. Right before you get killed, activate your hyper, then switch to shot and try to ride out the invulnerability period for as long as possible. Then activate your laser which should immediately trigger the hyper cancel. Even after that, you will most likely still need to dodge the needles for a bit. Good luck. I die here probably 75-80% of my runs. 2) Flowers (I don't know what to call it, the second pattern) This is where you start doing real damage, but it is not easy. Dodging this pattern is absolutely nuts and has extremely tight timings. The pattern is mostly static, although it seems to change a little bit based on where your ship is, so you can kind of memo it to a certain extent. Note: The reason you don't want to do too much point blank damage in the first phase is that you want this to last longer to build your hyper meter up more for the next phase. This is like a 80-90% kill rate to me even after all that practice. 3) Washing Machine This is the most infamous pattern in the game and indeed one of the most ridiculous in all of shmups. You will want to try and get a bit of point blank damage in before the full washing machine starts, as if you don't do enough damage here, you want be able to finish the final phase. Your white label hitbox is just too big to really dodge this for longer than a few seconds, so you need to make them count. To be honest, dodging this involves a lot of luck. Get used to dying here over and over and over again. Basically, the goal is to dodge this attack until you get a hyper cancel. After the cancel, you want to continue lasering for as long as possible then drop a bomb. This phase is by far the hardest part of the fight, with probably a 90-95% kill rate 4) Endgame If you have gotten this far, and you've done enough damage, this is (almost) trivial. However, you will likely not be so lucky unless you have an absolutely amazing phase 3. Try to whittle the remaining life down then bomb right before you get killed. Use up all your bombs and try to do as much damage as possible. When you are down to your final bomb, make sure to use a shot bomb, as you will need to race up to the top of the screen to grab the 2 hypers that will drop. Now wait until your bomb invulnerability wears off, since if you hyper before it wears off, you will not get the hyper invulnerability. Use your hyper and point blank Hibachi for as long as possible, if he has too much life left you will have to try and drop down and dodge the washing machine for a bit longer until he dies. I made it to this phase a few times where he had too much life left and I died, very tragic. In this run that cleared, I think I would have been dead if he lasted a frame or two longer than he did, it was that close. Final Thoughts - It's kind of hilarious to me that the game only gives you a bronze medal for doing this lol. You can get a silver medal if you do a no bomb clear (and die up to 5 times), which is MUCH easier. In that case you just need to reach the washing machine then feed all your lives into it doing point blank damage, usually only need 4 lives but I've also done it with only 3 lives. For the gold medal, you need to no miss and no bomb the entire fight, which is a feat I still think is nearly impossible, and I certainly will not be attempting that. You'd basically have to kill Hibachi with a regular laser as your level 5 hyper will not last the entire fight and you will never get to use a second hyper since it won't drop due to having bombs in stock. This means dodging the washing machine for A LOT longer. Not for me!
