I like AS better overall but I think the Gunstar Heroes Seven Force is a better fight. Not just because of the missing forms either.

Frankly I'm glad Treasure didn't try to design stages for Alien Soldier, else we'd end up with more retarded ideas like Dice Palace or Mischief Makers' Olympics stuff.

>> No.8492126

>>8492095
Boss design is just level design but more condensed
The levels are literally only there to replenish health. Would it be a better game if they literally didn't even exist? No, because they serve a purpose, but it might placate dimwits like you that can't understand game design

>>8492095
The levels are completely serviceable for what their purpose is, to make a buffer between bosses and allow you to refill health. They're not "shit". The problem is you expect every game in a genre to be the exact same, most run n guns focus on levels rather than bosses so when a game flips that you freak out because you have real life autism and can't adapt to change

Good stage design (something Treasure was always bad at) is always more enjoyable than fighting bosses.

When will Cuphead-zoomers realize that boss rush games are a cope for developers who suck shit at designing quality levels so they just fill the game with bosses instead?

Not in the Japanese version
That was a bastardization of Americucks who wanted to sell more rentals

>> No.8492587

>>8492485
The USA version was released first, therefore it's the canon version and the Jap one is the shitter cope romhack. But it's ok if you choose to play that one, not everyone can be a skilled gamer after all, just know that you didn't beat the real game and more or less cheated. Maybe if you'd spend less time playing casual faggot Treasure trash and more actually challenging Arcade games you wouldn't find Hard Corps so hard that you have to cheat in order to beat it.

Mechstermination Force did a nice job, all the bosses have lots of stuff on them to blow up and are basically levels you can climb on/in

>spinning
Alternating dashes to each side of the screen. The rhythm is pretty tight.

>nose slam
You can walk under him when the nose is up, which is crucial to do if bombs are on the field.

>bombs
He always lays them towards your direction so put yourself between him and the closest edge. If bombs are taking up half the screen and he decides to spin, you're practically doomed.
