Here's my very first post here, so first of all: hello again, and thanks for all the nice information available here. It seemed to me that there wasn't any "presentation topic" in the first two pages of the general chat forum, so I didn't dare to create a topic just for saying "hey, that's me!". But I'll happily introduce myself a bit more if required. I also hope you will forgive me my so unperfect english.
I'd like to have some more information about Blazing Star. For the moment I'm playing it keeping the rank as low as possible (no lucky items, 3 power-ups only). Doing this I'm still able to score around 25 millions at the end of stage 6. But...
...In stage 6 I'm never able to use a "x128" event on the 50.000 points large orange ship under the boss. That is, I never ever get the event item when destroying the little wing of the boss. I usually get it two or three ennemies later (i.e. from one the mechas coming when the orange ship has already disapeared or been destroyed). And, as I know this trick is possible, it becomes... really frustrating.
Can someone help me on this ? I really would appreciate it !
Also, I would appreciate an advice on stage 7 boss, too. I've never beaten him, apparently because I'm not able to destroy the two big parts of his "ship form" quickly enough (I mean, the parts with which he shoots very fast bullets just after the large white "balloons"). Do I need to take more power-ups for that (using hellhound) ? For now I'm still a bit concerned with taking power-ups and increasing the rank, as at minimal rank I still always lose a life in the "3D corridor"...
Thanks in advance to you all !
Little edit - just trying to use a more accurate english...

EDIT - 09/03
Well, I now manage to 1cc Blazing Star and also found some answers by myself, so I put them here just in case someone can confirm (or is interested by what I found).
Last boss is far more easily if there's no "hole" in your fast shot, i.e. in your button tapping : first baby form has not the time to shoot, penultiem form is destroyed just after the white balloons but before the rotating fast shot, etc...
So faster button tapping was the key for me in order to avoid some bad shoots (and I suppose the game with an autofire hack would just be very very easy).
For the stage 6 scoring trick, it seems to me that sometimes you just get event items later than you should. Apparently, if you make one appear really on the right side of the screen then it will float around a bit longer. So the next one comes a bit later, and you end with a shifting which just keeps growing all the stage long. For now I still couldn't get one at the proper place, but perhaps playing in stage 6 a bit more in the left part of the screen would help ?
However, I'll still be happy to get any advice.
