HI!
I've been trying to complete Space Ace for quite a while and the timing of Ace's shots sometimes just doesn't seem to work. It's probably just me sucking at the game, but in case someone else had noticed I thought maybe I'd post.
Once I know a scene, I rarely die in it (unless I just goof), but on several scenes where Ace/Dexter is supposed to shoot his gun, there's a decent chance I'll press the button at what I think is the right time (usually when something flashes) and die anyway. This happens most notably on the scenes where Dexter is flying in the Space Pak with the little alien ships where it keeps flashing back and forth between their cockpit and mine. The places where I'm supposed to shoot them (especially the first one) just doesn't seem to work all the time. You are supposed to shoot when your cockpit flashes like a "T" on them I'd assume. I've tried varying it a bit, but that just seems to make it worse.
I have tried mapping the "fire" button to other things in case it was my space bar, but MOST scenes where I'm supposed to shoot works just fine. Just certain ones are very problematic.
Is my timing just off?
It makes it pretty darn hard, b/c rarely can I make it through to new scenes without a few deaths, so I get just a couple shots at trying something new.
Thanks in advance for any tips!
