Freeze options work best for me; my motto is to stick the orange candies straight into the core. I can also get quite far with the spacing options. Don't overlook the useful back shot for this formation.
I've given up trying to 1cc this game on the second loop. I end up losing all my lives at the stage 6(?) slime ejaculation bit. Now I'm just having fun by goofing around with the stupidly big but weak ripple lazer.

Man I'm weak. I'm getting my arse whipped getting just to stage 3.
You got the custom mode already? Cool. I want custom mode!!
BTW there's the usual code with in the game with the *cough *cough powe* *p **cough cough* using the age old konami code which is from cont** cough.
There's a limit of use to that code though

Yeah, you unlock the custom mode once you've beaten the game. Not sure if it works for any other difficulty other than normal, or if it matters if you use continues, because I left everything at the default settings.
The code is very useful for stage select - when you want to practise a certain part of a stage and you want to be powered up.

Rotation. It makes me feel more safe. Of course, on bosses, I usually just move it to a solid shot, anyway. Buuuuut...since i don't choose a mode that lets me shoot behind, rotation provides some help without any extra thought.
Somehow I feel like I'm really dumb and people who know how to play shooters well are gonna laugh at me.

I use Directional Type (Type 2) - I love the way you can use the lasers like a whip, taking out screenfuls in one sweep.
Stage 2 and 3 it really comes into it's own, being able to fire in any direction helps loads. On stage 4 when the walls are moving and you have to fit into a tiny gap you can use the options to defend your position.

I'll vote as soon as I get my hands on the US version next month.
Though in Gradius III for SNES (the last Gradius I played), I was quite fond of Rotation. But I see that you can fix the Options in formation in V, which sounds to me like it would be hugely useful.
