230K... It's 4am.

I've seem 2M+ scores on the real thing before. I hate Raiden's bosses - have a heck of a time figuring out the pattern to avoid death...

edit - sorry for the black sidebars - haven't rotated my monitor yet. :-[

WhereEaglesDare:
Any big tips other than pattern recognition?

keefyboy:
My tip is to not worry about keeping concentrated fire on the big bosses. Just dodge the bullets and eventually they'll die. You have to keep shooting, but put more effort into dodging shots than putting fire into the dead center of the boss. Shoot the side attachments first if you can - the side guns are annoying and can make dodging more difficult.

Also, do not be afraid to drop bombs! Don't use them if you don't need to, but if you're in a situation where it's drop a bomb or fly through a hail of shots that you might not make it through - nuke 'em! it's better to lose a bomb than a life. I can't begin to count the number of times I've seen people get shot down when they should have dropped a bomb - you can't save them, if you die, the bombs don't roll over.
