RQ: Omega Fighter suicide trick

Post by Ruldra »

Can someone explain what is this trick and how to do it? I know it gives you a lot of points, but I can't find any further details about it.

You mean the trick in omega fighter special?

I think it was like this: You get a big end of stage-bonus, 1mil or so, for NOT shooting at all in a stage. But the trick is to suicide at the end of the boss battle because a death sets the shooting to zero. If I remember correctly your suicide should also kill the boss if done in a proper way, otherwise you need to hold fire and wait him to time out. you can bomb though.

So shoot enemies in the stage like usual, hurt the boss just enough so your suicide take him with you, don't shoot after the suicide -> big bonus.

This trick was discussed in stgt07 so thee are more details in that thread I guess.Stupid bonus by the way. Suiciding is way more fun in raizing games.

Okay, managed to do it. But this will only work if you go to the test menu and choose 'special' beforehand.

Thanks.
