Quoted from Collin:I'm actually surprised Shadow is ahead; Congo has a bunch of great shots and forces you all over the playfield. Shadow, based on the PAPA tutorial video, is best played by hitting the upper loop ad nauseum. I figured in terms of gameplay, Congo would walk all over Shadow.
I've found that only works if you're Bowen Kerins lol. Spamming that loop shot is hard! If you watch actual competition videos the stratagy is way more well rounded.
Disclaimer: I'm a proud shadow lover so anything I say is biased
