>I'm hovering at around 7CCs on Darius Gaiden
Honestly, just keep plugging away at this one. ABDHLQV is the beginner route. Don't be afraid to spam bombs on Zone H.

Nah, it's from this barely functioning webpage: http://kgw31520.sakura.ne.jp/gallery.htm

No other Darius art on there, but a few other decent STG ones.

I like them both a lot.

Actually, I don't get much agreement on this, but Darius is my favorite STG series.

-It's easier to see left to right than top to bottom
-More interesting/unique shot types
-Shields feel like a more natural cover than bombs
-Level design is more strategic/less repetitive than the usual bullet streaming
-Bosses have a lot more personality and aren't typically glued to one end of the screen

I like it and the music track (w/e Titanic Lance's theme is), though the text scrolls wayyyy too fast (this is Taito's problem throughout the early 90s) and it doesn't carry the same weight or force, or sense of mystique as G-Darius' intro. DG's is more of a fun silly intro showing off some cool sprites, whereas G-Darius sets the stage for a hell of an adventure.
