SD: R-Type II (Arcade) Bosses

[WhiteHat94]

Earlier this year I did a speedrun of R-Type II (Arcade) and I made a vid going over my strats for the bosses, in both loops for the World version. Figured I'd post it here for posterity, maybe it will help anyone going for a 1CC. I'm not sure how well some of these work on the JP version since I think bosses have more health.

I basically go over the visual cues and some of the reasoning for the weapons I'm using.

Great job, most of these strategies works just fine even in JP version, except stage 4 boss, I think. Detaching your force and shoot is a better strategy to quick kill this boss without sacrificing the DNA shot weapon. Regarding the 3rd boss strait, I also used loop 1 strait on loop 2, except I didn't lining up my ship with those door, because the JP version boss is more eager to shoot lasers. Then again, I used DNA shot the whole gameplay.
