Haven't posted here in a while.

Basically, I've all but quit AE and UMVC3. I haven't played those games in months. The will just isn't there anymore. And as much as I'm inspired by high level matches of the two games, I'm totally incapable of turning on my PS3 anymore.

So, in the meantime, I've been on a shmup bender. My bro bought me Dodonpachi: Resurrection, Deathsmiles and Akai Katana Shin as gifts(thanks bro, you're the best!), and I've got Gunwage DL'd as well.

At the moment, I'm focusing on Akai Katana Shin. So far, my best on 1 credit's reaching stage 6. Working towards that 1-credit clear and hopefully, should be able to fight the true last boss. Though, at the rate things are going, it'll take me a bit longer haha. Really looking forward to playing for score and competeting with others on the leaderboards once I've 1-credited it.

So far, my ship of choice is Type A(Tsubaki and Sumire.) Normally, I like ships with large spread shots and don't normally choose narrow shot ships, but the spread shot ship of the game's REALLY slow and the inbetween ship of the game's probably the best ship, but I can't get used to not being able to fix its option when using the laser. Type A's speed makes it ideal for dodging and its concentrated shot means better damage on enemies/bosses. But I feel the other ships are much better for score.
