The art of shooting the Mega Buster is very apreciated in the entire world, but some do it wrong and don't recieve a good experience. So now time; we will teach you how to shoot the Mega Buster correctly. This is the result of 3 years studying people that do this type of art.
1st – Get a Sandpaper. Sandpaper is very important, because with it you can protect your hand to have contact with your Mega Buster. It gives a satisfying feeling to you.
2nd – Use a Toothpaste. Using a toothpaste combined with the Sandpaper will increase your precision by 70%. If you don't have a Toothpaste in your house, use Pepper Sauce, it gives the same effect. And you can even use both of them!
3rd – Charge. Just Charge. Fast, slowly, Strongly, Weak, it doesn't matter how you do. At the end you will shoot a charge shot by the ending of the weoweeweoweowee sound and get many frags. But your Mega Buster probably will be in cooldown and almost painful, but it's the “little” colateral effect of this experiment. So, enjoy it!
