Big mistakes of a run: I was using charge level 2 shot on stage 2 boss. You don't want to do that - you need bits to defend you. Level 1 charge when they go into hiding to clear that plant things is ok. Level 1 charge when they reappear from the holes is ok too. When 1 of them go into crazy mode don't use charge at all. In stage 7.2 I killed POW Armor containing blue powerup in the middle of a screen - I think you should kill it as it appears above the middle of a screen so it is easier to avoid it while destroying big group of bydo ships. Also during last boss fight you can send your force inside like I did but there is no point dodging that waves he shoots - instead send force, go into safespot which is in low left corner of a screen and shoot. Safespot is safe for VERY long time, long enough to kill a boss.
Why to use red instead of blue in stage 3? I love to have red for stage 4 - mainly for that armored cow tits cannons shooting milk. So much easier with red and you can't get red in first half of stage 4.
How hard it was for me to do: 9.3/10
I have to rate it high even though it is not very hard shmup. There are some reasons for that: the hardest shmup I cleared so far; no savestate practice for this game and I'm not used to that kind of way of practicing games lately; mastering controls was quite hard for me - I'm not used to use so many buttons in shmup; it's the first r-type game I cleared so getting used to operating force was so strange; stage 5 boss is so hard and stressful.
My advices for stage 5 with Hades on R-Typer 3:
- charge your wave cannon for as much as possible if there is nothing going on or not much going on
- charge only around 75% of a meter if the screen is busy with Bydo water melons, charging more might get you killed. 100% charge is taking too long and not much better in this situation
- around 50% charge should be enough to kill that Bydo bugs that shoot so much bullets on R-Typer 3
- Hades ship might do very poor job with destroying things. Sometimes it might hit nothing. Be always prepared to dodge stuff if this happens or even before it happens. At right side edge of the screen his charge is almost useless. It doesn't want to curve back to hit anything. Also his charge shot doesn't pierce through terrain (for example the rocks during 5th stage boss).
