Character: Ki-84 Hayate

Full arcade playthrough using Ki-84 Hayate, done using PSX (AKA PS1).
Ki-84 Hayate is definitely the other recommended plane to use aside from Flying Pancake. It has the best charged shots if placed at the right place as it deploys several wingmans (depending on what level the player is at when deploying). This charged shot is definitely familiar to players playing the original S1945 as the formation is like Lightning in the original S1945 but the shot they shoot is like Messerschmitt Bf-109 which will give enemies and even bosses hell when place at the right location. In addition, it has also a good sub shot which is also similar to Zero Fighter's charged shot in the original S1945. Psikyo definitely extracted the best parts of these 3 original S1945 planes for Ki-84 Hayate.
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.

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.
