This is a one-credit playthrough on Psikyo's second shmup Gunbird played as the Soviet robot Valnus (instead of the more commonly used characters Marion and Yuan Nang).

His firepower may not be as strong as the females characters and his charged attack (or should I say ROKETTO PANCH!!) may seem to be inferior to Yuan Nang's at first due to a larger time charge and doesn't erase bullets like Yuan Nang's does but it does significantly more damage and can instakill some enemies faster than Marion and Yuan Nang.

The downsides are that you can't really speedkill the last boss so you deal with its patterns, also he cannot use firepower during a bomb usage which can be a little problematic for the castle boss in the second loop for example.

Second loop: 13:27
The clip shown at 27:14 is a demonstration on how to do the train stage (a stage that is harder than anything else in this game combined) with him.
