RQ: Ketsuipachi Damage distribution.

[SFKhoa]

I've been wondering about this ever since I've been playing this mode a lot lately.
I've noticed that in some of my runs, I deal so much damage to the bosses (it's like my shot's rate of fire skyrocketed) that I breeze through bosses a lot faster due to the bosses not reaching its harder attack cycles. Is there something I'm doing that's influencing my ship's damage?

There is something going on. It has something to do with the timing of your locks, and if you do something right, you get to do a lot more damage for some mysterious reason. I think there was a video in nico that explained the thing a bit better but I can't seem to find it now.

Lock-on to a boss, release auto-fire button for half second, then hold it again. You should see that your shot impact effects get bigger, and you have much more damage. It's a glitch..

EDIT; assuming that you know that you do extra damage when you hold both, auto-fire and fire. I think that small extra damage you get for holding both is doubled if you time the release -> hold properly
