Ok, this game isn't as good 2 player as twinkle star sprites, but its a damn lot of fun. I've got about 9 other guys playing, but we all want to see if someone can dodge this retarded attack/give us a strategy.

When ship 4 (cyclops) is on top and gets a boss, stay near the bottom and mash A. It gives out this insane bullet stream that i have no idea how to dodge without bombing. If anyone has any suggestions besides "have more bombs," or could show us how to dodge it, it would be awesome.

And if you are playing this for the first time, no top does not always win, especially when you have people that can dodge decently and know how to properly use bombs and sub weapons.

oh, and DO NOT TRY THIS GAME 1 PLAYER, IT IS NOT MEANT TO BE A 1 PLAYER GAME AND THEREFORE SUCKS ASS WHEN YOU PLAY BY YOURSELF. GET SOME FRIENDS!

Meh, I like the single player game. It's not all that tough, but it isn't quite easy. Gotta love the final boss and his giant instant laser of doom.

No, it isn't, the 2 player game is much more interesting.

I guess no one actually has friends on this board though.

I always picked that ship for this exact reason. Nobody knows how to dodge it besides bombing.

They kind of moved on to fighting games I'm not any good at.

Out of curiosity I booted up the game again. The Cycrops/Stone Golem pattern you're talking about... The one that is a simple multi-directional spread shot straight out of Psikyo? Or the one involving the slow blue spheres and quick spread shots? Either way, meh. Delta Edge boss can kiss my ass.

I used to prefer the ship that is directly to the right of the Alpha Blade. Strong, but slow, shot. Pretty good boss (though I never try to use Boss mode). ...slow as hell, though.

I don't like the predictability of boss encounters. You can bet your ass if the enemy is about to lose a lifebar it's going to be a bossfest. I do, however, like the fact that the enemy will get *angry* the more it goes into boss mode.

I do have friends, but they suck at shmups.

Actually they suck in nearly everything. The only game I can get some competition is The King of Fighters games, mainly becasue this gotta be the most popular series here. Annoying.

Its the multi directional spread shot, it has a few openings to it. Basically the only time i've dodged it i've gotten extremely lucky to slip between bullets that i shouldn't slip between.

None of the other boss patterns seem undodgeable to me besides this pattern. When I screw up on other boss patterns, its because of my fault.
