 * The charges require good timing if the enemy you're trying to hit keeps moving. Something made more difficult by the low movement speed.
 * Mosquito in general is a hard ship to get used to. There is a lot of potential, but it requires a lot of very good routing and execution to make him really stand out amongst the other ships.

 * The bomb has to come up the screen before it start to block projectiles, and it doesn't clear all the bullets on screen. Meaning the player has to slighly anticipate using a bomb and press it earlier than some other ships have to. Also, the bombs only block bullets that come from the top of the screen. If there are still any enemies at the bottom, the bomb only helps the second it comes into screen before going to the middle.
 * Passive damage (without using any charges) is quite low. The secondary weapon doesn't deal much damage and the wide main shot is only good when getting close to enemies.
 }}
@@ Line 178: / Line 170: @@
 * The rocket bomb is easily the worst bomb in the game. It deals an unimpressive amount of damage and doesn't help much to protect the player. It's off the screen very quickly and only clears a very small portion of it.
 * The charge shot only shines in very specific situations (and mostly exclusively in the second loop). The field is only in front of the player for maybe two seconds before it goes up the screen. And there is very little reason to follow it up there.

 * Shinden's passive damage (without using charges) falls a bit short compared to some other ships. You really need to use your charges to get through bosses and large enemies quickly. Good management of your charge meter is crucial to playing Shinden well.
 * The secondary shot is by far the least useful weapon Shinden has. The shots just don't deal a lot of damage and don't really stick to small enemies or the ones that move around a lot.
 }}
@@ Line 262: / Line 248: @@
 * The hitbox of the bomb is only a little bit larger than it's sprite. So enemies that shoot from the sides rather than from the top of the screen can still get very close to the player.
 * The LVL 3 charge is never good enough to save up for. It's just slightly higher damage (which Hayate doesn't need).
 }}
@@ Line 305: / Line 288: @@
 * Aiming the missiles from the charge shot can sometimes be tricky because of the low speed.
 * In general, to make good use of Lightning, a lot of routing has to be done and most things have to be done very specifically.

 After killing the final boss in stage 8, the player gets to see a result screen that grades them on their performace. It judges how fast you cleared each level, how many medals the player has picked up (the timing of the medals is irrelevant) and how many enemies the player has killed. If the player did alright in these areas, they'll receive a silver medal. If the player did it (nearly) flawlessly, they'll recieve a golden medal.
-After the results screen is over, the game starts the second '''[[loop]]'''. In the loop, rank is increased even further, meaning bullets start to get much faster. Most flying enemies will also shoot '''[[revenge bullets]]''' when they die. Again, the stage order of 2-1 to 2-4 has been randomized, but rank will at this point be maxed out and there is no difference in how these four stages will play.
