Question about batrider controls

[tzakiel]

Tried this out last night and the control seemed like it was getting away from me slightly, like the ship moves a little faster than I expect. Is that normal? I'm used to cave shmups.

[Shepardus]

Basic movement controls are the same as in any shmup, however MAME does have a couple frames of input lag in Batrider so maybe you're noticing that.

[tzakiel]

Hm. I use groovymame with the d3d9ex build so input lag isn't usually an issue.

It could be because the diagonal speed is different. In CAVE games, the diagonal speed is normalized, but Batrider has fast diagonals:

I've talked with someone who has the pcb and they agree it's just a strange normal effect.

The Korean variant Armed Police Batrider pcb has all-English language for the characters chosen at the beginning of a serious session indeed (and for all ending stories with selected character{s}). It was even sold with an all-English move strip with the typical arcade paperworks package deal with Raizing/8ing Batrider pcb kits as well.
