Gunbird 2 has some of the things I don't like from the Striker's series, but basic Psikyo strats still mostly apply. Which means pick a character with a powerful close range shot / charge shot (like Aine or Valpiro) and beat the shit out of the big enemies before they get to do anything. The popcorns mostly fire aimed shots so tapping works really well. Don't wait for big enemies to shoot and then try to react because yeah you will want to track down Shin Nakamura and torture him horribly. The image macro above speaks nothing but truth.

BTW gemheads are fine themselves, it's the method of triggering them that's kind of dumb.
