* AwesomeButImpractical: [[{{Xevious}} Solvalou]] has one of the most powerful shots in the game, and its ground attack will eliminate nearly any ground-based enemy in one hit. The catch is that the standard shot cannot hit enemies on the ground, and just as in the original game, the ground attack is only useable at a fixed absolute distance from the ship itself.

** Awesome for playing but impractical for scoring is [[DonPachi ]-[|/34<#!]], which plays like a very powerful version of the normal DDP ships, but has a hard time scoring well as building a lasting hit chain with it is very difficult. Hibachi is similar, as while it can spray continuous death all day long, it only has two speeds: Insanely fast and painfully slow, and to uncover bees with it you need to be right on top of them.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The creator has taken down the official download and asked for people to not publically share it anymore, which might have been due to issues with Cave.
** Someone claiming to be on the dev team is also going around telling people who've posted videos on Youtube to remove them.
