Commentary
The type B fighter is the one nearly everyone loves to avoid. When
the ship moves for a bit of time, the left option shoots in the
left cardinal direction, and the right option shoots in the right
cardinal direction. For players weaving from edge to edge trying to
kill everything in sight without getting hit, one option shoots
where there are no enemies. Yet for those who had enough practice
with both the type A and type C fighters, the type B fighter
remains useful. It has the power of the type A with the firing
range of the type C.
I have yet to rigorously practice using the type B-L fighter, but
I have had plenty of practice with the type B-S. Because of its
overpowering attack power and quirky options, it can kill too many
enemies at one time, thus cutting off chains. With practice, type
B-S players can let the options do the work by moving and firing
slowly. B-S players can even destroy escaping enemies to the sides
in the last minute so they can earn more hits. Like other
shot-powered ships, the type B-S has a weak laser and is slow while
the laser is in use. Thus, the B-S player must endure longer boss
battles and have faster reaction times. Overall, type B-S is good
for those who have experience in playing DoDonPachi and would like
a challenging fighter to use.
