OH YEAH! Nailed another shmup 2-ALL clear!

STORM CALIBER Revival Edition 99 is shmup by S.S.P. in 1999. It basically serves as an early concept of Graze Counter (And it also has SFX from DoDonPachi, Soukyugurentai, Hyper Duel, Blast Wind, Thunder Force V, etc.)
The game has 3 stages with 2 loops, with a TLB awaiting at the end.
You basically kill enemies with the main shot, and mostly the homming shots.
Homming shots can be fired by grazing bullets. When firing the homming shots, the energy gauge (on the top right) will be consumed. If it empties, homming shots cannot be fired again until the energy gauge refills.
Killing enemies with homming shots will increase the multiplier, triggering the multiplier timer (represented by the top left gauge)
Item carriers will drop Bombs, Shields, or a bunch of stars.
Shield can take up to 3 hits. If shield is damaged and you collect the Shield item, it only repairs 1 shield level. When I see a Shield item, and I have 1 shield level left, I intentionaly hit myself to later pick the Shield item and get a full shield restore.
There`s 2 ships (plus a secret one):
-CCX-04 Storm Caliber: Balanced ship type with wide shots.
-CCX-09 Eliminate Caliber: Speed type ship that has a linear shot. Grants a higher multiplier than CCX-04.
ASX-2 Red Pixy (Unlockable): High tower type ship that has a variable shot type, tilting left and right. Can fire ball-shaped homming shots.

I was lucky enough to get to the TLB with the necesary resources to beat it.
TLB`s intro pattern later served as Revolgear`s intro pattern in Graze Counter.
