Character: F-5U Flying Pancake

Full arcade playthrough using F-5U Flying Pancake, done using PSX (AKA PS1).
F-5U Flying Pancake is definitely one of the best planes I would definitely recommend because it has fast mobility , equipped with rather good basic shots, and has a good sub weapon which homes and it is much faster and has piercing effect compared to P-38 Lightning. In fact, F-5U Flying Pancake has one of the best supercharge shots as its laser is goddamn powerful, and summons rather good smaller planes as bombs as it covers the full screen horizontally. So in desperate times when there are too many shots going about, just hit the bomb button and stay behind those planes that it summoned as it is a good protection for players. However, since it does not have those animation to barrel roll, make sure to activate a few seconds before getting hit or when you are not confident of those areas as you will still get lose a life if you get hit while pressing the bomb button at the last minute.
Expert players should either use F-5U Flying Pancake or Ki-84 Hayate instead when playing solo because these 2 planes have the best supercharged attack. It is definitely best played with Ki-84 Hayate as those 2 are really the best planes in the game. They are equally beast if players know how to play this game.

Note: This is played on the PS1 console version. I wished I could play the arcade via MAME but I have to admit that version is too hard for me, plus the rapid fire is important to me. I got too tired pressing the fire button rapidly even though it is similar to Metal Slug series but I found Metal Slug dodging of bullets to be less tiring. Strikers is just way too difficult for me to focus on both in the arcade versions.
Anyway, this may be the 2nd Strikers game but it was labelled as "Strikers 1945" instead in consoles because the original first game was banned outside Japan due to the NSFW portraits if you did extremely well in the 1st game.
