I never really got to play at any arcades growing up but I do remember playing this game. I thought it was fun (from what I can remember) so I figured it would be an alright choice.

Tbis is the first I'm playing this, but I really like it. However, that first bonus stage is near impossible with mag-stiks.

Also, I have 1 1/3rd sides of NOS sideart for this game with heavy shelf wear if anyone is interested.

I died at boss 2.
Not sure how the hell to survive that at the mo but ile give it another shot over the weekend lol
For the first 3 bosses, my strategy has been to kill all the other guys as fast as I can then just shoot and move which seems to work well. The level 4 bosses are a pain in the butt - haven't quite figured them out yet.

Mainly coz I kept shooting the barrels down just as I was running underneath LOL

Is there anyone else out there playing this with mag sticks? I have tried many-a-times, I can't even match my previous score, and it's low. I'd love to hear how someone else is getting on? I'd hate to be a guy that blames his equipment, cause i generally really like those sticks, but thinking this isn't getting better. Stinks too, because this game is great!
Ime using MAG Sticks, The only problem I am having is hitting the diaganols but thats nothing new for mag sticks and me LOL
But my score is also much lower than yours :p
I am going to have another play on my cab once I can get to my cab (Its buried behind kitchen appliances atm!) But I will have a play on the laptop today to see how it gets on :p

Well i'm glad I'm not alone, haha. There's one place i always die, and two others where it's 50/50. I've grown really accustomed to the sticks in other games, even Street Fighter 2, but for some reason, this game i'm having a hard time overcoming those diagonals. (The place of near 100% death is the 2nd boss. Everything's going great, and when he rolls out to where your player is, no matter how much i work at it, i don't duck and shoot straight, i just run forward shooting the ground....and die. :angry: Rant over, thank you for listening.

I do fine up to there!
Ime the same though, I have got used to my Mag sticks and really like them, Still not perfected that Hadoken in SF but ime getting there :p

Just to add how the hell are you getting a score 3x more than me getting the same distance? Lol
I've gotten past the 2nd boss, but it's always my first death. I haven't gotten past the guy on the horse. (Dark horse?) The score i posted was one where I did well AND got a little lucky on the bonus stage. If i can get over 40 (EDIT- on the bonus stage, that is) with these sticks, its a good game.

Ahh that explains it lol.No, this game is not easy if you can't get to the "down" quickly.

Funny. That is the easiest boss of them all.

Not if you can't easily select down, or down&diagonal separately. One reason it's frustrating: I can easily see HOW, I just can't execute.I haven't gotten past the guy on the horse. (Dark horse?)

Time to switch to a pc and a gamepad, then. You shouldn't die at the third boss. That guy is a joke. Even if you manage to get past him on your cab, the two guys you will have to fight next will frustrate the heck out of you, promise.
Fair enough. I have thought to use my xbox controller on my computer other times, as well. I TRY and play on my cab anytime i can, but i'll give it a shot.

You won't regret it ;)My one chance this week to put into this game, and it was spoiled by this...my whole freaking afternoon. Argh. Good news is that there wasn't that much damage to the house.

Sorry for the bad pun. I have a suggestion, this last contest will be worth 35 points for first, 2 for 2nd, 1 for 3rd. Come on, yama, check your gamer privilege. :lol :lol

That would be nice ! That way Waki could win the last game and defend his title, I could come in a close second like last year and you could end up in 3rd place ;DOh....yeah...that too. Haha. Oh who am I kidding, I'd still have to beat you in a game, anyways.
