1CC Darius II ABDGKPZ ["Never give up" run]

Darius II is the most challenging Darius game in my opinion. While the difficulty might be higher in Gaiden or G-Darius, the second game in the series does not allow any mistake. Sparse shields and level design assuming you have the power make mistakes easier and more painfull. P zone gives no additional shields, and sends some hard to avoid obstacles, leaving you either shieldless or powerless after death. For this reason I trained Z zone with no power at all, which led me to 1CC much earlier than I expected.

This run may serve as an example how to recover after the most vulnerable section in the game.
