Thanks for picking this game. I had only played it a little bit before and put it on the back burner. But it's a lot of fun! And a lot of frustration too. Like most shmups. :D

thanks man. Previously I didn't know how to use the Shiki Attacks well. I'm glad I'm getting so into how this game really works.

Yea. I had very little idea about how the game worked until I played Castle of Shikigami 3 with a friend 2 or 3 weeks back.

Still waiting for my legit PS2 copy to arrive. Hopefully it gets here by tomorrow so I can take it to that same friend's place this weekend. Going to try to get him to participate in SotMC/on this forum since he is a fan of shmups and a cool guy. And likely a lot easier to get along with than myself! :)

Type A is harder, isn't it? I haven't really played around with it too much.

I find Kim's type A to be harder to use than type B personally.

Noise is either a badass or a masochist. Maybe a badass masochist.

Will try Kim type B now. Though I should probably just not play. This game stresses me out.

Type B is the one you used in the 3-1 video right? I'm terrible with that Shikigami Attack. Leaves me to vulnerable. With B you've got two long laser things that only move up and down when you move up and down, right? With A you've got THREE laser things that SPIN when you move in any direction. You can move em around you like a shield kind of deal, or set em up and stay stationary letting stuff run into em pretty easily.

But we all play better in different ways I suppose? B just makes no sense to me haha.

Though I'm ok with the title of "badass masochist." 8)

I read this as Castle of Shikigami III at first, then I looked at the title again. I thought it'd be something I have for once.
Oh well, I can play Dragon Spirit next month.
