I do either type well enough, though the one distinction I can make right now is Im better at bullet-hell games than normal shooters....

Playing Gradius lately, I keep forgetting that I dont have a tiny hitbox..... and then POP!!!

Either way is cool for me.

I feel pretty accomplished at verts, (Batrider mostly) and horis. (Gradius V mostly)
