Talk:Hellfire

(DONE) This needs to go somewhere on the page but I've compiled an explanation of what the different Change button behaviors in the M2 port do

Weapon change options

A (Arcade): Tap Change button to cycle through shot types (front -> back -> vertical -> diagonal -> front). If you tap Shot while change is pressed down, this will also change shot type. Keep this in mind if you are using autofire.
B (Safety): As in type A, but if the Shot (30Hz Synchro) button is being held, the Change function will be disabled, so that you don't suddenly cycle through your weapons. Note that you will need to release the Shot Synchro button to change shot type. This ONLY applies to the Shot Synchro button. Using other types of autofire will still cause weapon cycling if you press them while Change is pressed down.

C (Enhanced): As in the PC Engine and Megadrive versions of the game; weapon cycling happens once every time you press down the Change button. Pressing Shot while Change is also held down will not cycle through your weapons, unlike types A and B.
D (Gladiator's Victory): Hold down Change, then do a directional input to change shot type. Right for front, left for back, up/down for vert, diagonal for diagonal.
E (Supreme Ares): Your shot type will change in accordance with directional input (same mappings as type D); hold Change to lock your current shot type. Release directional input and Change and you will switch back to front shot.
F (Galvanic Gamma Array 3rd): As in type E, but the inputs for forward and back shot are reversed; moving backward fires front shot and moving forward fires back shot. This type is a reference to GG Aleste 3: Last Messiah.
G (Imagined Future): As in type F, but releasing directional input keeps the last shot type you were using, instead of setting you back to front shot.
H (Tidal Force Vector): As in type G, but using Shot Synchro will lock your current shot type.
