  I didn’t mind the M, but F, and L can fucken suck it.

    I’m the opposite - M is useless, the others are fun!

      We should play together some time. We would make the perfect duo. Also, I think I saw that a set of Contras are being sold on Steam. Because a new 2d Contra is being released soon.

    M

    That just sounds like S with more chaotic aiming and haphazard jumping.

      It is. It definitely isn’t as good as S. But it gets the job done.

    F is a close second to S for things that are hard to hit when you’re taking cover.

  Laser was the best gun in contra 1 but required skill. It melted bosses and machines.

    I haven’t played much of the arcade version of Contra, but on the NES version, the S can actually shoot faster. There’s a limit to the bullets you can have on screen, so if you mash the button fast enough, you get to shoot again as soon as a bullet leaves the screen. If there’s nothing to stop your bullets before the hit the edge of the screen, you’ll end up with a line of bullets in front and a spread of 3 bullets. If there are any obstacles that stop your bullets early, eventually, you just end up with a stream of bullets in a straight line in front of you with no more spread.

    The laser only does 4 hits per beam, but you can only have one beam on screen at a time, and if you fire again before it hits, it just disappears before firing the new shot.

  No love for “H”? (I know it didn’t appear until the Gameboy game, but I basically exclusively play Contra III, so…)

    If you’re in this comment section then you’re probably 30 to 45 years old. Maybe.
