Thank you! The intentional death was to lower my weapon level for the bonus round. If you have powered up weapons, they tend to destroy the crates too quickly before the maximum number of blue crystals have drifted out (for score maximizing).
@@Pete_Hahn I highly recommend it. The sound track is top notch rockin'! And there is a stratagy factor once you get past lvl 5: You get the lightning pod upgrade. Learn the timing for using it, and you got it MADE. It is WAY over powered vs. even the later bosses.
dude, you've found out the strategy about stage five like I did about oh 12 years. Watch my run. I use BG-01 STORM FORGEL. He's in my opinion he's the best. you're forgetting one thing though and that's trying to keep 2 helpers during the IWAO fight. Problem is you're playing the arcade which makes it extremely easier to you because you can destroy your shots with your gun. I pay the Saturn version and you can't do that. You really have to work your way around and get lucky. it doesn't matter get it anyway I let him self-destruct and let my score roll counter go. I intentionally suicide on stage four boss it's tough trying to intentionally suicide and have full meter bonus at the end, isn't it? Lisa is the easy mode for getting perfects. Keith, not so much. Nightmare is a bitch boss also. Crybringer is too tough for a 2nd stage boss. I mean, I'm just saying. Again, we're playing different versions. I play the arranged Saturn version. Watch my run from 2012. Also, what difficulty are you on? You don't have that listed. I'm playing on very hard and it looks like you're on normal from the enemy bullet speed. I have the world record with Keith.
I'll definitely watch out your run - thanks for checking mine out! This was played on default settings. The Saturn's arrange mode seems pretty cool, I'll have check it out at some point.
Nice run! And no deaths on the final boss! 😮 What was up with the intentional death on the fourth boss? Rank control?
Thank you!

A lot of familiar names also seen in the credits of Thunder Force IV (AKA Lightning Force) on Sega Genesis. Both are awesome games.
I still need to clear TF IV, I really enjoyed III.
Thanks for watching!
