Hehe, welcome to 1-7. There are very few situations whichQuote:

you'll beat my score sometime. :)
Bern-D...I think you've said you're playing the arcade version of Gunbird 2- do they have it at the Berkeley University arcade?
Yes, the UCB arcade has it--that's where I play.Quote:

Whoah...sounds like I need to take a trip down there. What other shooters do they have now? The last time I was there I remember playing Viper: Phase 1.
Just Viper Phase 1, Gunbird 2, and Giga Wing 2.Quote:

EDIT: Forgot about Andro Dunos...
Now to describe how to dodge the almond-and-white-bullets
attack from the 1-6 boss's 2nd form.
When the lasers dissipate from the previous attack, stay at
the bottom edge of the screen and align yourself vertically
with the boss's left shoulder (or the very end of the
one-player-side's charge meter). Now focus only on the
white bullets. Watch for the opening one character to the
left of you. When you see this opening, move to it--you
should be on the right side of this opening. Nudge your
character to the left every half-second to a second, making
sure you stay within the lane formed by the white bullets.
Eventually, the pattern will end.
EDIT: Try to nudge yourself over only twice, preferably
after the fourth and eighth waves. Any more nudges and you
might run into the white bullets.
Why does this work? The pattern formed by the white bullets
is fixed while the center bullets of each almond-bullet
wave are aimed directly at you. You want to make sure that
these aimed bullets never obstruct the lane. One way to do
this is to keep these aimed bullets to the right of you.
But the lane never shifts. This means that as the aimed
bullets shove you to the left, the openings narrow. If
you're not careful, these bullets will clog the opening
and you will die. You must begin by maximizing the width
of the opening so that in the end, you still have enough
room to dodge the final bullets. That's why I mention you
should be at the right side of the opening when you enter
this pattern. Because you can just tap the joystick to the
left to evade the almond bullets, you can ignore them and
focus on staying within your lane.
Dodging this pattern still requires precise maneuvers. I
suggest you dodge only if you have no bombs or plan to
avoid using bombs. Wipe it out with a bomb, otherwise.
Hey, I wanna help too! :D
I cropped the original Galford (?) vid so it doesn't have those nasty black borders, and in DivX format, the size is pretty comparable at 246 mb (vs the original's 229 mb). I uploaded two short movie clips of parts of the 1-5 and 1-6 battles...

Useful for Bern-D's pics, I hope... :sweat:
I doubt Galford was the player in that video. I've readQuote:

triggering the gem heads in 1-5 and 1-6 in favor of coin
chaining. Second, he would destroy only the left parts of
the 2-Italy robo boss and stay to the left side of the boss
to safely avoid the bullets.
Why does the video stop at 2-4...
Oh yeah, and I've already converted the movie into DivX.
The black borders come in handy when I need to comment on
stuff, so I don't clutter the picture. If I wanted to
crop the picture, I can do that myself, too. But Triple
Lei, I think others will find your edited videos useful
if they don't want to download one huge video.

Just a testament of my improving consistency. No miss until
the 1-6 boss. Then my game turned sour as I messed around
with my bomb distribution.
Also, as for the 1-6 boss's scattering almond bullets with
lasers, rank affects the speed of the bullets. When I
pushed down when I needed to, I hit the bullets at the
bottom because they were too slow to leave the screen. I
guess the objective is to stay in the crevice--it's not as
easy as pushing down and forgetting about the bullets.
Another miniscule update that will vault me a few positions up the chart.

My Tate setup is busted for now, so I've been playing Original 1 all weekend and it's almost like I'm playing a whole new game.
