Jesus Christ... I got so pwn`d on this one... Really struggled to get a decent attempt.
Oh well... at least I made a PB of my own.
I remember in Bullet Soul Infinite Burst getting pwn`d against the TLB in Burst mode with Yun, Sadahl and Loop.

Fast Striker is a shmup by NGDEV in 2010 initially released for the Neo Geo. It is well known for the incredible manipulation of pre-rendered graphics and it`s unique gameplay style.
You have front shot, back shot, and shield.
Destroying enemies will drop bonus items, and if focus shot is not used, they can be attracted.
The offers 4 modes:
-Novice: 5 stages. Scoring sources are star items from enemies. Focus front shot is a widespread rapid shot.
-Original: 6 stages, full experience. Scoring source is yellow medals. Tap front shot is widespread, while focus can fire missiles. Killing certain enemies with the focus shot missiles can generate yellow orbs.
-Maniac: Scoring source is blue medals. Focus attack is a laser. This mode has a unique chaining system, which can contribute a lot of score. Attacking certain enemies for a long period of time activated Grinding, which can generate green orbs that can fill up the shield recharge gauge.
-Omake: The hardest game mode. Patterns are buffed up, shield recharge gauge is removed.
Rank system works on Original, Maniac and Omake. It increases when survivng a lot and killing a group of enemies. When rank reaches Devil level, items are attracted a lot faster, as well the adition of more enemy agressiveness.
Performing certain tasks can reveal big NGDEV mascots, and when a big one is revealed, destroyed enemies will temporarily release NGDEV mascot items. Secret jokers are also revealable.

About the True Last Boss:
To fight the TLB, you must play on Maniac mode and achieve 10bil pts. right after defeating the 6-2 Boss.
It´s also on Omake. However, to this day, no one has ever tried to reach the TLB on Omake legitimaly.

You also may be wondering, how did I start Stage 1 on rank 2?
Well, that`s because there`s a bug on the ver. 1.5 of the game. If you let the entire attract sequence play until the ranking screen, then press start and start on Original, Maniac or Omake, you can notice that the rank starts in level 2, just like in the attract sequence. This means more enemy waves spawn and the Devil rank can be triggered on Stage 1.

This game also had a forgotten iOS port.
