Strikers 1999: thoughts, impressions

[japtor]

well concerning techs, i only do it on the 4 beginning levels, havent even tried on the later bosses mainly cause i have no clue when the core first shows up (techs work only on the first appearance when its flashing red) and im just trying to stay alive at that point. on 1-5 im thinkin it shows the core when it pulls back into the 2nd form and does the massive bullet spew, but not really sure. if not there, i know its a while later, which doesnt really help me cause i can destroy it before then (no way in hell i could get it if its that 'later' part). on 1-6 im pretty sure ive seen it on both bosses, but absolutely no clue when it shows up. dont think ive seen it on 1-7 and pretty sure not on 1-8.

edit: how bout a strikers 99/45-3 high score board?

The 1-5 orb doesn't appear till some time after the form switches.
For that stage up to the very last, you basically have to stop shooting or you stand a good chance of offing the boss long before the orb is ever revealed -- they take that long. The only tech kill I haven't hit is the final boss. 1-7 is a royal pain as well.

Feel free to start up a score thread -- might end up being a 3-way battle, but what the hell.

japtor- where's this fantasy arcade you speak of that has Gunbird 2 and Strikers 1945 III in it? (always worth a shot, I figure)

From the ALL clear replays I've seen, no player goes for
the technical bonus for the Stage 8 boss. Maybe because it
doesn't exist.
