Been wanting to do this one for awhile, but didn't want to do it too soon after Black Widow because of the similarity in controls.
I started to use my dual-joystick X-Arcade panel, but decided early on that I was better off with a gamepad. Better for movement, but I never really did get comfortable shooting diagonally. Might have been better off in the long run with the sticks.
The third stage is really tough for me. When you have to go through the little maze in the center you have no room to dodge. If one of the slayers materializes and shoots you with his first shot, there's not much you can do. They can also materialize right on top of you.
A pretty good FAQ, though written in an annoying style, is here:
