@Gloves you have given me enough false hope that I have wasted the day away playing this sad excuse for a game 😆.  thanks again, but I just ain't got glove level skills to beat the bosses and talk to guide me through a game and still pull out a score that makes most of us wish it was our run lol

fuckin first level bro. pretty much same area i made it to before.  Your strategy seems better because i can get an option, but i just can't get down the fucking part where you curve around the damn terrain and drop down to kill the lower enemies and hide lol, anyway, i am not sold on shmups, but its mainly just cuz i can't get them down man.  I know you say learn the patterns on easy, but honestly that doesn't seem to help as i can't get patterns down and react to shots they fire.  So to me that seems counter productive, because its so random when you hit them and when they fire.  idk, maybe i just need ot walk away and come back fresh, but i really don't wanna come back, i wanna try to make it past the first level and never play this game again lol.  That being said, you obviously have a little practice with this game cuz you have 2 fuggin copies 🤣

It's not random, they shoot where you are at the time the bullet comes out. That's kinda the secret sauce to a basic shmup - you need to sit still until a bullet is about to hit you, then move. Waiting for that last moment before impact (or shortly before, we're not talking single frames here) will mean there's a whole queue of bullets all going to exactly the same place. Some enemies mix it up and shoot straight or whatever but in general that's the key is that you need to get used to moving out of the path of a series of bullets, rather than yourself moving all the time.

Also I have 3 copies - remember I also have the PAL version.

I'm too frantic and scared to stay in one place at a time and then move, I'm usually constantly moving lol, prolly my downfall, I prolly make it way harder than it is, but it's just too frantic for me.

I used to play shooters by constantly moving my vessel. I still do but I have learned you have to play the projectiles.

It actually “clicked” for me playing stinger. But I was just smashing my face into the grinding wheel literally willing myself to get better.

The Hudson Shooting Watch is by far the best thing in that picture!  What's your record?  The best I ever did was 118 on mine...

Look closer, there are two Hudson Shooting Watches in the photo! 😉

My personal best is 135.

Where'd you get the Adventure Island/Takahashi one, or is it a sticker?  And that's a damn good score, assuming it's done legit - but you are clearly a shmup fan and they don't always have turbo fire....

It's a legit score. 🙂

As for the AI Shooting Watch, it's from the 2007 re-release. Both Watches were actually gifted to me by a Nintendoage member a few years ago, shortly after I released the ShmupSpeed website.

Watched that @Jeevanvideo. You can hear the hatred and frustration in his voice before he even starts playing. Im a gradius fan, but this looks way more difficult. Need to load it up on the flash cart and get a participation score in and will at some point.

What little time I got this week will be dedicated to kung fu warm ups. Maybe i can salvage a 4th or 5th. @mbd39and @Bearcat-Dougare grinding hard enough that each is now considered to be missing persons in their respective cities
