For my runs I had been playing as player two (just because my preferred stick was plugged into that port on the SG) and I got used to using the green weapon as such.
I realized that the weapon is different when playing with it as player one.
Is there a strategy or efficacy difference between the players when using it?
I have tried to switch over to using player one and it feels pretty different.
First real go at this game, pretty fun game and pretty hairy at times. Especially once you get to the Heaven's Gate. Still managed to snag the 1CC by the skin of my teeth with my final life.
So I'm going to work on a no bomb run next, lives mean nothing at endgame so a no miss no bomb run will yield the best bonus. Cool game, too bad blue weapon is so weak against bosses. Green is the go to here.
