OK, I need some help. Specifically, the 1-6 boss. What do I do with the attack of tiny orange bullets that comes from the back of the tank (whatever it is)? And please don't say bomb. ;]
Also got a new coin chain high- 43. I'll post the pic later.

Watch the bottom row of bullets as it makes its descent. If you watch closely, a hole will emerge midway. It seems if you wait too long, the bullets intertwine too intricately to slip through. The few times I've actually tried to get through this one, I've moved in a semi-circular pattern (diagonally in, diagonally out). If there's an easy way, I haven't found it.Quote:

I say bomb.
OK, I'm a retard. After a more bomb-free examination of the 6 boss form 1, it seems the best tactic is to park your character midscreen, below the cannon, and recede into a diamond-shaped safety zone near the bottom of the screen. There are a few scattered bullets to dodge after that, but this works rather well.
Posts didn't merge this time. Hallelujah.
Thanks Rob, I'll definitely give that a shot. Once I can get to that boss with a couple of lives and bombs I think I'll be set. I've been picking up quite a few points from the coins alone right before the boss.
Max coin chain up: 43
If I knew Cigs had the same chain I would've tried harder on that last one. I could swear I thought he had 46. Drats.
For the record, it didn't even have much of an impact on my score. I only had maybe 20-30 thousand more than usual.
Two new tops, though not enough to beat the likes of Rob... :bang:
809,400 - Triple Lei / Marion 1-6 [verified]
Triple Lei -- 30
1-6 is giving me all sorts of trouble. Those first enemies are now doing those "suicide shots," and I still feel I have to bomb when I'm bombarded by those screen-filling dots. That "diamond hole" by the first form of the boss still forces me to eke out one more bomb, and although I can dodge the first wave of bullets by the 2nd form of the boss easy enough (thanks to Mode7), without any more bombs I was so dead right after...
1,120,500 - Rob / Morrigan 1-7
Finishing the game on a credit is becoming less and less unrealistic.
Just to let you guys know, I've switched to Alucard. I've
written my reasoning in my website's diary.
Does anyone have any of Mode7's old GB2 videos saved? Specifically 1-6 and 1-7. If so let's setup a time when you can send them to me or something. Thanks in advance.

It's time to get serious.
Yup, here it is:Quote:
