5This video is part of a larger set encompassing the Ship Showcase playlist. This is the twenty second video I recorded.
Ships in this series: Future World, Peace Maker, Tropical Angel, No Chaser
This series of ship came from irem's Armed Police Unit Gallop shmup. If you notice, when I change the speed on the Force, the lasers behave differently. I used the red laser in this stage so that I could keep myself alive. The red laser gets more powerful the slower you go and gets narrower. The faster you go, the wider the beam gets. The blue laser spreads out and narrows into the middle the faster you go. The yellow laser sprays beams onto the floor and ceiling. The Force shoots bullets ahead of it when detached. If you notice, the control rods open up and close in depending on my speed. The missile is the Photon Missile, which has limited homing capability and an AoE blast when it hits something. Bits are Round Bits, and fire continuous beams with the red laser, making them useful against popcorn enemies. The Wave Cannon on this ship homes in on multiple enemies, making it fire and forget, and is very useful against waves of popcorn enemies, especially in stages where you get surrounded.
This stage was the end of the human campaign in R-Type Command, which had you face off against the Ebon Eye (called the Obsidian Pupil in RTF2). The campaign has your fleet get Bydo-fied and begins the Bydo campaign after it ends. I like stage 7.2 for its continuity with the R-Type Tactics game. I still prefer R-Type Final's stage F-A overall for its symbolism overall though.
Irony - I'm using the No Chaser, and I got chased all over the place by the Bydo Waves when I reached the Ebon Eye. My original plan was to fly inside and kill it that way, but the waves it fired at me made that impossible. I recorded this stage twice - once where I died trying to get inside, and then this time where I got chased all over the screen trying to avoid getting killed, finally settling in the safe spot in the lower left side of the screen.
