Battle Garegga original or Type 2?
Battle Garegga original or Type 2?
Which version do you prefer? Original or the one with yellow ball bullets? The latter one seem easier on eyes coming from the other shmups. Is everyone in the hiscore competitive scene playing the original one? Sorry for the stupid questions I am still a noob
Also how rare is Type 2 pcb? I haven't seen it on sale anywhere.

Everyone plays the original.
Re: Battle Garegga original or Type 2?
Is that because of the original version being more common so the competitive scene formed around it? I've seen some complaints about hard to see bullets from fellow noobs. Or the second version has game breaking issues?captpain wrote:Everyone plays the original.

You will learn to love the bullet sprites. You will come to realize that bullet sprites which are so unhelpful that they might as well be rendered behind the background layer are superior design.
But seriously, it's actually part of the challenge.
I would be curious to know if the differing bullet sprites have different hitboxes.

Just play the original, Battle Garegga's bullets aren't nearly as difficult to see as they are in some other games. If you're getting hit by invisible bullets that's because you're not familiar with the enemies, and you probably wouldn't have noticed in time anyway had the bullets been flashier. I don't know if any of the bullets have different hitboxes, but the original bullet sprites have more personality and fit the artstyle better.

I also seem to recall that rank works differently (and is actually meaner) on the non-original version.
Re: Battle Garegga original or Type 2?
This is interesting. I've only seen the yellow bullet mode in the Saturn version. Had no idea there was a pcb like that.
But yeah, it only takes a few games to adjust my eyes to Garegga bullets.

Cover your eyes preceding and following boss fights and you won't get the cooties.

Also be sure to rotate the joystick twice and then hit the shot button twice for extra precautions.Squire Grooktook wrote:Cover your eyes preceding and following boss fights and you won't get the cooties.

Re: Battle Garegga original or Type 2?
Battle Garegga and Battle Garegga Type 2 are two very different games. Yes, there's the cosmetic differences (Changing bullets to spheres), but the option mechanics have been reworked as well. You can no longer change option formation; instead, each ship gets a special formation and keeps it for the whole game. Silversword gets Search, Grasshopper gets Shadow, Flying Baron gets Homing, and Wild Snail gets Wide. In addition, rank now decreases upon dropping a medal. Not sure what else has changed, but make no mistake, it is not the same game.

Oh wow, I didn't know that. I wonder if there's a comprehensive list of differences out there somewherethe1truepickaxe wrote:In addition, rank now decreases upon dropping a medal.
Re: Battle Garegga original or Type 2?
Somehow, for this one game, people gravitated around the version Japan actually plays. No idea why. There is a certain argument to be made for a "cult" of Garegga. I guess.

I don't. I keep mixing up the shrapnel for some of the bullets. Drives me nuts.captpain wrote:Everyone plays the original.

Re: Battle Garegga original or Type 2?
So in the Saturn version, if you turn the bullets to "Ball" in the options, does this turn the whole game to Type 2 rules or do you get the best of both worlds?
Re: Battle Garegga original or Type 2?
I think it just changes the bullets. Same with the M2 port's bullet options.
