I was under the impression that Garegga came out BEFORE Strikers.TWITCHDOCTOR wrote:Have I ever mentioned that I really don't care much for Battle Garegga?
To me, its just a poor version of Strikers 1945 with really annoying "bombs".
Garegga came out in 1997 remember, BEFORE Cave widely introduced the microscopic hitbox that players seem to prefer. Games pre-Garegga are classic, almost sprite sized hitboxes, with very little room for error.dave4shmups wrote:Garegga would be better if every playable character and aircraft didn't have such a big damn hitbox.
There's always the last revisions of the arcade game (Chinese etc) that have a very tame variant of the rank system. Just don't expect any extra lives from score however, since they're disabled by defaultBulletMagnet wrote:As for the actual topic at hand, I've come to be of the opinion that Garegga and its ilk would be better if its rank system were somehow optional...
Personally, I prefer the punishing Japanese version. But that's just me. ^_^
