R-Type Final 2 Stage 4.0 with Dinner Bell R-Typer
6This video is part of a much larger Ship Showcase playlist that I'm making. This is the eleventh video I've recorded.
Ships in this series: Delicatessen, Dinner Bell
The Dinner Bell is a fun ship to use. The weapons are the same as the ones on the Sweet Memories, with the red weapon firing a honey comb laser straight ahead. The blue weapon fires two honey comb beams from the top and bottom of the Force at 45 degree angles that home in on enemies, making it really useful, and it fires fast too. The yellow weapon fires honey combs from the top and bottom of the Force straight up and down, making it situationally useful. The Force fires in an X shaped pattern when detached. The missiles are just standard homing, so they're always good. The Wave Cannon, when charged up, will have bullets that explode off of the initial blast. They bullets home in on enemies too.
I wanted to use this ship in a stage against the Bydo System Alphas, and I debated about 7.2 or 4.0, eventually settling on this one. I couldn't pull off 7.2 for a few reasons and made it easier on myself. I still got lucky at points here - notice how I'm behind that hanging Bydo when the artillery Bydo are in that hallway and I almost got crushed by the screen? I was lucky not to die there, but it made it more fun to watch, so I left it in. I didn't know until I was recording this stage that the Wave Cannon would hit the artillery Bydo in that dark hallway either - I thought I'd need a pierce wave cannon to hit them. Thank god for that.
This stage is another infested space base, much like stage 6 in R-Type Delta, only since R-Type Final, we now have Bydo System Alphas attacking us, which is cool.
The wrecking ball boss is best handled by using a Wave Cannon that either explodes with an AoE or just flat pierces through solid objects. Fortunately I managed to work the Force in to shooting its weak point for me. I knew it would, as I test play every stage to make sure a ship works in a stage, but even so.
