Nice bomb just shows up when you bomb as a bullet is about to hit you.

Need FreeMCboot? I'll install it on your PS2 Memory Card for free if you cover postage both ways.
Consoles: I have too much stuff
Arcade: No seriously, I have too much stuff. Someone grab a shovel and dig me out of my basement.

Ah, OK. I couldn't quite figure out how it worked. So what makes it a x2 bonus sometimes? A bullet being really really close?

Just doing it twice in a row (if you bomb again when you are about to get hit it says nice bomb x2). Not sure if there's any points advantage though.

Re: Week 3 STGT 2015: Gunbird 2
Hmm, i'm not sure on this. I seem to recall getting "nice bomb x3" on a first bomb and i'm pretty sure it is related to just how close a lethal bullet is to you. If you bomb when nothing is around - it won't say "nice bomb". What the extra points equate to - I have no idea...skate323k137 wrote:Just doing it twice in a row (if you bomb again when you are about to get hit it says nice bomb x2).

Didn't really have much to do with chaining medals (still suck at that). I just had a good run.
Either way, I'll take it.

Nice job, Marlowe. That's really nice improvement in short order.
Got a few runs in after work today - glad I did as time is just tight this week.
Yes, Aine is accessed by holding DOWN on the random character space.

But don't worry, I made sure to follow that up with a series of TERRIBLE runs.
