I struggled with him also. If you stay still long enough for him to shoot you, he usually comes down shortly after.
EDIT: NVM, I just watched a speedrun and I was actually thinking of the stage 4 boss.

This week I initially went through Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold from Street Fighter Collection on PSX, an incremental update to SFA2. The biggest addition is a cut & paste insert of Cammy from her SFvsX outing but she's only playable in versus mode, which is extemely lame.
Such a small upgrade from vanillla seemed like a weak choice, so I also ended up going through the OpenBOR game Super Final Fight Gold with a classic controller on Wii. Even the best BOR mods can become boring extremely fast not only due to the author's decisions but to restrictions to the engine itself. This one hit a nice sweet spot of great visuals and gameplay with just the right length. The enemies and backdrops were varied & interesting enough to keep playing and the various super moves were pretty damn cool. This one implements the Street Fighter cast best of all games I've played so far.
I had only two complaints; the lack of weapons (which I know not to expect) and the juggle heavy combo engine. There was a time or two where given the right amount and type of enemies I'd be juggled endlessly until death against the screen edge.

Aww snap, you go girl! My players choice defeat is That's So Raven 2: Supernatural Style for GBA. I actually got stuck at one point. There's some confusing level layouts going on here.
Are there differences between Ex-Ranza and Ranger-X? I remember reading somewhere there's differences in explosion effects or something. Maybe difficulty? Never could get past the 2nd cave stage.
'Shely' is both mentioned and shown in the ending credits sequence of Thunder Force III, so she's definitely all in.
'Alexis' is shown in action during the epilogue of Gaiares and says that she's taking control of the TOZ weapon system that Dan's fighter is outfitted with, however it's unclear if she's actually on board in the actual fighter with Dan or controlling it remotely. He's wearing a flight helmet and she isn't -- she's just wearing a head com like a bridge officer, which means she could be piloting the TOZ from the satellite base you start the game from. Still, that doesn't seem likely since Dan actually travels through hyperspace and traverses the galaxy. Perhaps he took control of the TOZ since they were met unexpectedly by an attack force early on. She mentions that "she's taking control of the TOZ" early on, just before they realize that there's an attack force closing in on them and he has to scramble.
Meh, the whole Gaiares thing is too ambiguous I suppose, and since I haven't re-aquired another copy of Thunder Force III yet anyway, I guess I'll stick with a sure thing, like Golden Axe on the Genesis. It's a cinch to beat, I'm sure, and that'll give me some more time to try to finish Gaia. I'm really out of practice with classic gaming.
Those pictures don't cause my browser to crash even on my thirteen year old laptop. Heck, they barely cause it to chug. With that said, I will post thumbs from now on.
For the player's choice, I went with Crystal's Pony Tale.
This is actually a surprisingly not bad game. In fact it's rather relaxing.
I'm a pretty pony!
I saved all my pony friends!
⃟Mario says "... if you do drugs, you go to hell before you die."
Finished with Galactic Attack/Gunlock on MAME. Feels like cheating though, must've used like 20 credits. The last few stages are ridiculous. I could barely stay alive for longer than 10 seconds, there's so much crap trying to kill you. I don't know how people master games like this.
I don't know for sure it was the pics and now that I think about it, it probably wasn't. It stopped happening a few hours later when I came back. But before then, as soon as I scrolled down to your post (or almost to it) Chrome crashed with an out of memory error. Every time. There was something on the page that Chrome didn't like. Seems fine now, though.
Lots of points scored last week... I wonder if anyone else cleans up on Illusion of Gaia in the next couple of hours...

Interesting stuff happening... FieryReign is getting hilarious with Game Boy schlock, Scissors cleared the first Virtual Boy game of the competition, 3 out of 4 players enjoy Kabuki Quantum Fighter, and I'm pretty sure RP2A03 was pretending that Crystal's Pony Tail was actually about Rainbow Dash. New RPG goes up tomorrow for March, and as always, if I missed one of your victories, let me know and I'll fix it! Good Luck!

I've been on fire, finishing quite a few games. Being unemployed helps. But I'm back to work today. This is my first hat trick. I finally beat Ranger-X after years of giving up on the 2nd cave stage.
Figured out that shooting those holes in the ceiling and standing in the light recharges your special. And that the health regenerator only works when you have special energy. Had to be real slow and precise taking shit out methodically, one at a time. Then going back to recover. The later stages seemed easier. Level 3 was gravy train.
Not giving me credit for Snow White on GBC? I kinda mashed it in there with my Illusion of Gaia post.
