Regarding Sky Soldiers…

I somehow never see longplays where the player lets certain large enemies escape to trigger more large enemies (which I’d think would translate to more points) later in the stage. 6-2 is a good example—letting the two large planes after the cloud fighters escape results in FIVE large planes near the stage’s end. Is it that unknown a secret?

Videos marked as "longplay" don't necessarily feature a skilled player and often use tool assistance to clear the game simply for the sake of showing it off.

Scrub the word "longplay" from your brain forever and partake of the infinite glory that is the Replay Burners channel on Youtube.
