Star Soldier (NES/Famicom)

are you using an autofire with that controller??

I can never fire that fast & your finger looks to be holding the button down

great score anyway!  

ok, nevermind, I can hear the button clicking.  Man, you fire fast!! 

You can fire much faster if you hold your controller that way and mash using your forearm muscles rather than just a finger/thumb tapping. Takahashi Meijin did it this way to achieve his legendary "16shot" speed 

voted YES 

now i have another question -- do you ever use both A and B buttons alternating, to fire faster?

Thanks 

I do this in some games, but in Star Soldier it is rather unpractical, since you have to make short breaks between alternating key presses or the game won't register all the shots, so to fire faster, you need to find a certain "rhythm" for alternating the buttons. For Star Soldier, I'd rather stick with mashing 

thanks!  and thanks for that video
