Seihou 1: Shuusou Gyoku - Stage 3 (Commentary & Translation)
48Firmament Army
Huh... Usually the difficulty jump's at stage 4 not stage 3. Everything in this stage fires at you and they all fire a lot. You'll need to keep on your toes and carefully zip around to stay out of harms way.
You remember back in Stage 1 how I said the game slowly gets tougher as you continue to win without dying? Well now it starts to really show how bad it can get, Gate's attacks hit hard and fast enough but by making it this far without dying once he's kinda friggin' crazy for a stage 3 boss.
