what the title said, and i felt like asking on the forums would be better than DMing someone cuz 1- it'd be weird if i DM'd zaxon or zyzex, you know and 2- gotta use this forum i guess since it's empty, bur whatever
just beating the 2nd boss quickly in general, and i also tend to choke the 3 cycle on the first boss
Just need to plan for each type of attack, he'll come back from approximately where he left the screen basically.
Horizontal Swoops you can get 1-2 hits with. Drill firing from a lower end you can get 2 hits without the lightning shield and 3 hits with. Laser phase you can get 4 hits with the lightning shield.
So ideal pattern is: Swoop (1-2hits) - Drill (3 hits) - Laser (4 hits)
Zyzex always goes for 2 hits on swoops, and also goes for this pattern: Swoop x 3 (6 hits), Drill (2 hits before he fires them).
You can't manipulate the pattern, but just try to make the most of what it gives you. 3 swoops in a row seems to be the maximum.
