RQ: Gunbird - Random Leveling Down of Shot...

Post by fakeXsound »

Hey guys,

I'm trying to 1CC Gunbird on Saturn. I've noticed that on certain boss sections, in particular the train section, my shot loses 1 level of power. I know that this happens if you collide with an airborne enemy, but I've experimented and I'm definitely not getting hit by anything. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm wondering if it's just a glitch, as I've also noticed that the HUD disappears on certain runs and I have to start the game over to get it back.

Thanks!

You automatically power down from max shot after a set number of shots. It sucks; a holdover from the Video System days. Keep a P handy!

Oh, damn! I had no idea. Thanks for the info. Will Bs and Ps stay on-screen indefinitely?

Not forever, but for a good amount of time.
