as for the counterintuitive thing.....guess it depends on the player to a degree....old school shmup players would be used to hanging back and bombing....people who play more modern cave type stuff are aware of the finer points of these games and would approach it differently
Speaking of counterintuitive, Ibara takes the cake here. The pros bomb more than they shoot, gets killed on purpose left and right to drop rank and replenish bomb stock, and milk bosses until they leave on their own. Just about everything that is old school habit with a twist.
