ESPGaluda tactics

Not sure if this should go in the first play thread, but I guess it's more discussion...

I got my copy of this yesterday, and I'm having trouble figuring the 'system' out...

I understand that if you kill an enemy while in the slow mode (can't remember it's name)all it's bullets turn to gold things. However I don't understand a few other things:

Why does the number of gold things count down?

How do you maximise the multiplier - I see on the replay modes that you can wait till the bullets are nearer you before you kill an enemy and that seems to give you more gold stuff, but It doesn't seem to work for me.

Perhaps someone that understands the systeem can break it down to basics so that I can try to implemet it when I'm playing?

Gamefaqs have some information on the scoring system online at the moment.

Each bullet that is changed when defeating an enemy is worth 40 points
(times the multiplier).

The multiplier starts at one when you enter into KAKUSEI mode and
increases by one for each bullet you clear until the multiplier is 100,
the maximum.

The number shown in the gold counter affects how many points you get
for each gold ingot:


Gold Counter Points per Ingot
000-099 100
100-199 150
200-299 200
300-399 300
400-499 350
500-599 400
600-699 600
700-799 650
800-899 700
900-1000 900


For example, if your gold counter is at 1000 and you cleared your
first 100 bullets in Kakusei mode, the number of points you've earned
is calculated as follows:

Bullets: (40*1 + 40*2 + 40*3 + ... + 40*100) = 202,000
Gold: (900*100) = 90,000
Total: 292,000

As for the Gold Counter counting down i can only presume its just a way of making you kill the boss as fast as possible?

Cheers - that makes a little more sense... It's a weirdly difficult system for me to get my head around
