According to the Shmups Forum, the 6 best arcade shooters of all time are>Battle Garegga>DoDonPachi>DoDonPachi DaiOuJou>Ketsui -Kizuna Jigoku Tachi->Mushihimesama Futari>Gradius VNow if YOU'RE so hardcore, how many have YOU beaten in one credit?
>>724228023Lmao, why is gradius v there?
>>724228023Where is Touhou
>>724228023OK well according to me it's raptor call of the shadows.
I only own Gradius V. Fun game.
>>724228319what do you mean? It is the hardest Gradius. Excellent game.
>>724228023DDP, DOJ and Futari, but I'm close to getting the 1-all in Ketsui too
I've never met a shmupfag I didn't want to knock out with a single punch.
>>724228023are the numbers the amount of votes? did battle garegga only get 8 votes?
>>724229140It's the number of years Battle Garegga has been voted #1.
>>724228023I like garegga, but DOJ deserves the 1st spot. That game is peak low skill floor/high skill ceiling and it revived the shmup genre back in 2002.>easy to 1-ALL>hard to 2-ALL>balanced difficulty through the stages (no real major difficulty spike)>scoring mechanic can be used for survival (hyper)>A/B-EX offers satisfying speed and damage>amazing OST>memorable bosses and stagesGaregga is more mechanically complex, but DOJ is well rounded in more aspects.
>>724230127I don't really like loops. I feel like Garegga's difficulty curve is much better where it goes from "really hard to survival clear" to "extremely hard to score clear" but it's like a smoother progression between them. DOJ scoring and Ketsui Ura are like a completely different game than just the basic 1cc
>>724228792why are whites so violent?
