shmups, bmups, fighting, racing, what are you currently playing?I'm still trying to understand how garegga works, what a convoluted game but it's funarchive.org/details/fbneo_1003_bestset
play nightmare in the dark for halloween
>what are you currently playing?Religiously playing garegga every single day.
>>724223240Playing Strikers 1945 PLUS on my MVS and recently got a IGS PGM.I have to repair my other television to put it in permanent TATE.
>>724223860based jap boomeryou clear yet?
>>724226669>clearI'm actually beyond that point already. 1CC'd with all ships, got a respectable above average score, did a few no miss and nmnb runs and now I'm on my way to do get the extended mode 2-ALL. This is by far the hardest thing I ever tried in any game. I can really understand why not a single western player bothered clearing this mode. Shit is insane, but there's no better time for me to try this. My muscle memory is on its peak and I can't afford losing it. All I have to do is play and practice everyday.
The most recent arcade-adjacent game I played was this. It does include the original arcade game but I usually don't use that port since the actual arcade ROM includes debug features.
>>724223240>misses all medals>picks up everything else>shoots almost non-stop>doesn't even get the birdsYou're in for a rough time, buddyLook for tips and strategies, Garegga is impossible if you don't know what you're doing.
>>724227490>nmnbPost replay.
>>724228492You won't get a good score but you can get a 1cc
>>724228492>You're in for a rough time, buddyIt's obviously premium where rank is fixed per stage. Just look at the pink bullets.
>>724228654you can use pink bullets on arcade mode
>>724223240>play battle garegga>game discourages you from doing anything or else your rank goes upwhat the fuck were they thinking
>>724228492>>shoots almost non-stopshooting affects the rank too?
>>724229516Yea
>>724228536They way OP is playing? Absolutely not
>>724229473You can play the way you like (at least with certain ships). Extended and Special mode exist for a reason. You can clear the game at high rank if you have enough dodging skill to get through it. The major problem with high rank is the higher chance of sinking the run if your options fly off screen. Also, bad rng can happen no matter how low the rank is. Someone with 20% rank can be fucked by BH2 3rd phase and all the rank management done before won't matter.
>>724231062so i looked up some meta tipscan you guys confirm i have to- only 2 options- ignore small wpn powerups, only big ones- do pick up medals but must be chained?- some secret spots- kill myselfwhat elsewhen should i go above 10hzwhat rank% should i have for each level
>>724231858- i pick up all the ammo right?- dont shoot
>>724232021Don't pick up items, don't use bombs, don't shoot, don't move, go play another game.Seriously though, I understand why some people might find that appealing but personally Garegga's "meta" is the most obnoxious thing that ever came out of the genre.
This looks like it copied a lot from twin cobra.You are probably supposed to kill all the red enemies that spawn in lines for them to drop powerups. That's kind of a standard.
>>724231858Yeah, it's something like this.>pick Golden Bat/Gain (C)/Miyamoto (C)/Bornnam (ABC)>bombing flamingos can be ignored, but it's encounraged if you play as golden bat, gain or bornnam>medal is optional (gain and bornnam can kinda "cheat" this, cus they can get one free extend when bombing madball 1 and 2)>1~2 Lives (always die before the third extend)>2 Options (golden bat can go optionless on early stages)>10Hz firerate (zakk's patch is recommended if you don't know how to trigger it properly)>level 2 shot (no piercing) or level 3 shot (piercing)>hoard bombs at Stage 4>homing formation at the start of Stage 5>get two more options at the start of Stage 6>max shot asap
>>724228512https://drive.google.com/file/d/1egDtuCne5n1KJfBLlpJpDtZxBY0rJgVb/viewpls, no bully.
The player's shots in this one always remind me of>we fire the WHOLE bullet, that's 66% more bullet, per bullet!
>>724233242Nice, now do Batrider.Not 100% sure it's possible because there are some undodgeable timeout patterns against bosses but maybe the stronger characters can always skip them even without bombing?
>>724223275Looks fun, might give it a try. What other differences the bootleg Snow bros. has?
>>724234238Yeah, very unlikely. I did a normal course clear with car-pet solo, but I didn't bother with advanced. Dunno, I think the 2 lives cap (not counting the third one) make me very uncomfortable. Also Discharge is a big run killer afak. He shits swords and lasers all over the screen and his balls have a gazillion of HP.
>>724236446The lives cap isn't relevant if you are doing no miss though.
anyone played that new M2 game
>>724236778It does affect my performance tho. I already did a self-imposed challenge in garegga that I played through the whole game with 0 lives remaining and it was so scary knowing I was one hit away from game over the entire time. Having 4~5 extra lives in Garegga makes me feel very "powerful" in No Miss runs. It's like a buff that mproves my confidence and skill.
>>724223240>what are you currently playingPracticing the final bits of espgaluda. The last boss is extremely long, like longer than a whole stage. Can't make a webm because I'm about to go out, but attached is an old recording of a shmup releasing on the 18th which is pretty good from what I've played in the demo.
>>724223240Hey, TAP is in that pack too. Nice
