"Be Attitude for Gains" IS the actual text as it appears in the game.
It appears with each boss and gives Treasure's trademark garbled pointers for the boss fight. It can sorta be seen as an homage to the boss pointers in Gunstar Heroes.

Blasphemy! Everyone should've known this by now, but then, I have played 60 or more hours of Silvergun. It's a really good game, though I rarely play it nowadays after frustrating myself with my inability to chain. The game has a high emphasis in chaining since you won't stand a chance against tougher enemies if you don't make big points to level up your armament. At my top performance playing, I couldn't reach adequate weapon levels from the second level (whichever you choose) onward. This is the game's blunder for me. I think that if you can get over it; you will absolutely love the game.
Note: remember that the game offers Arcade and Saturn mode. If you want a short blast, Arcade mode is your choice. Many have complained about the length of the game, but in Arcade mode it's just about 45 minutes. Saturn mode forces you to play through every Arcade level and the new omake level, making the game as long as if not longer than Gradius V.

Personally, I find lvl 27+ weapons to make the game too easy.
I find the ideal starting level to be 21.
perhaps I'm a bit too used to shmups of old...shooting a weak spot for LESS than 6 minutes frightens and confuses me.

You should not miss this:
http://www.emuxhaven.net/~silver/Translations.html
As far as that saying goes... "Be Attitude For Gains..." seems to imply "Be aware of these things ahead which you need to deal with to be successful..."
Then it lists 3 things you need to be aware of... like a technical readout...
There are all sorts of goofy sets of 3 things that we are supposed to be attitude-for-gains about... it starts off rather mild with:
1 : PLAIN SHOOT-TECH
2 : PLAIN EVASION-TECH
3 : TINY VALOR
and by the time you've spent nearly an hour battling through the game, you meet Xiga... the baddest boss to ever inhabit a shooting game where it says:
BE ATTITUDE FOR GAINS...
1 : BE PRAYING
2 : BE PRAYING
3 : BE PRAYING
And you best be praying when you see what this guy throws at you...

I've always translated "Be Attitude For Gains" as "That which is necessary to succeed". And as far as I know, these are the names of the bosses' different attacks, not what you have to do.ST Dragon wrote:"Be Atitude for gains" what does that phrase mean exactly?
Bad JPN translation like All your base?
Then again, folks who've watched me play either RSG or Ikaruga have always asked "What does NO REFUGE mean?" No Escape or No Sanctuary.

It's the more random sounding descriptions that make me wonder just what exactly Treasure was getting at when they wrote them. For example:
BE ATTITUDE FOR GAINS...
1. o -- bonus
2. a -- core
3. o o -- bonus
Or this one:
BE ATTITUDE FOR GAINS...
1. In Fighting
2. Make An Effort
3. 15 dot TEXTURE.. oioi..
The appearance of Xiga, though, accompanied by that haunting music and then the message of "Be Praying" three times in a row... it gives me the chills just thinking about it.

It's a representation of the boss itself. It's a central core with 3 satellites that spin around it, which is represented with "o" as the satellites and "a" as the central core.Moogs wrote: BE ATTITUDE FOR GAINS...

huh? I thought the bosses died faster in older games, except for the endgame ones. Either that or R-type (well-placed max beam attacks with the R-9 in Delta could wipe out most bosses in one blast!) and Gradius (sans slowdown) have been lying to me all this time.Dartagnan1083 wrote:shooting a weak spot for LESS than 6 minutes frightens and confuses me.
The first time I saw "NO REFUGE" on the bottom of the warning message in Ikaruga made me feel like I was completely screwed against the boss, although it is kind of ironic that either you or the boss disengages after the timer runs out. For some reason, that message sounds a lot more intimidating than "No Escape."
