On system11, I'd reckon, but I don't understand what the difference between that and standalone FBneo is, which is equally capable of reducing input lag, not that you actually need it, and equally accurate at emulating slowdown.

Thunderforce III is so awesome. I wish we'd gotten more games like Einhander.
>>
>>732175868
Hardcore shmuppers just grind Garegga and complain about every other game that isn't Ketsui or DOJ. Back in the day the "best shmup" was whatever the new game was that people could get their hands on (Gradius V, Futari, etc. when it wasn't Dodonpachi) and even Shikigami II was a high contender for some reason. Every game I just mentioned is solid, but I wonder what a modern day ranking from average players would look like.
>>
Don't forget that they don't actually play, instead spending all their time on forums pretending they do, that's the most important part of shmups

I gotta say that Double Dealing Character is actually fun, does the whole "risk your life to get more resources" gimmick better than UFO since you're absolutely in control of whether you fuck up your run for an extra bomb piece or not. Still gotta learn how to get bonuses better, I only get bomb pieces so far. The early bosses are filtering me harder than Subterranean Animism ever did for some reason, that stage 2 fivehead attack is evil.

A lot of people claim DDC was during the so-called decline but the decline in question was memed during DDC season because it was a good game, and I don't think most who say it's bad have actually played much of it.
>But unbalanced shot types!
Subterranean Animism had the same issue and it's highly regarded, it is a flaw but just don't go for the shit shots
>Forgettable cast!
Hardly even matters but for what it's worth I think the DDC cast is charming
>It returns to previous settings!
If modern Touhou has taught me anything it's that ZUN doesn't need to make 50 more areas he'll never expand on
>Seija!
Only bad on Lunatic, otherwise only one spell is trippy as the bullets move while the screen flips but just bomb lmao, it's Touhou, for better or for worse bombing is a part of the central game design (you almost can't NBNM FW Stage 5)

The Donpachi games are the most overrated shit and for some reason it is American culture to shill them as the best games ever. Do I like them? Yes I do. But there are so many amazing Shmup out there I will never surrender myself to a single fucking series.

According to whom? DDP is a not a series consistent in quality. Its moreso just CAVE in general having an insane peak. I'm not gunna pretend like the games aren't cool as fuck just to be contrarian, better than praising Thunder Force.

I just think it's weird that ever single shump content creator ranks the DDP series as rank 1 or all time. It's very cult-like. I like the games too but when I discovered other shmups especially from the PS2 era that are just cool. also nowadays shmupfags shit on everything new except for the ONE they all like. Zeroranger or w/e. I honestly don't like it but again like DDP there is this cult-like attitude towards whatever game every single content creator is shilling

I don't think DDP is that great but DOJ is uh... pretty fucking good dude. Like I'd even put rayforce above ddp though. If you don't like it it's whatever but it's hard to imagine someone liking shmups and not liking the entire CAVE catalogue. Like do people really dislike Futari? It's impossible to play that game and be sad.

If anyone puts Zeroranger over Blue Revolver, that's how you know they're full of shit.

Only Cave game I've played is Espgaluda and I only tried it recently but I really like its mechanics. That final boss final phase trolled me so bad though. I've got my 1cc attempts as far as Stage 2's boss at least, better than I expected out of myself.
>>
>>732175143
Basado.
>>
for me it's eschatos
>>
Are there any other games that give you the level of control over Options that Galaga Legions does? I've been really loving how flexible its system surrounding them is without being overpowered.
>>
I recently got a 1cc in Deathsmiles (360) but I still can't beat the game with suicide bullets. Is Casper the weakest character in the game?
>>
i will spend the entire game playing for score so i can bank lives and bombspam the final boss
>>
>>732183834
I suck ass at eschatos but goddamn its OST is great
>>
>>732184023
Pretty much yeah. It's a shame because she's the cutest.
>>
I love Raizing shmups and Garegga is probably my least-favorite among them.
>>
That's because Garegga is a literal scam game
>>
>>732184023
Casper's not the weakest, but she can definitely feel like it if you’re not used to her playstyle. Her slow movement and the familiar's positioning can be awkward compared to Rosa or Windia. BUT her laser density is great for tight control in suicide bullet routes, especially if you’re good at baiting spawns. Deathsmiles is all about route familiarity and abusing lockshot damage, so with practice she can hold up just fine. Don’t sleep on Follett either, her coverage and mobility make suicide bullets way more manageable.

All I remember about Mahou is that in stage 2 you could literally just weigh down the fire button and walk away from the screen for 90% of it. The heckin pogchamperino art makes it a TRUE hidden gem though!

What are the real shmups? Garbage shovelware like Tiger Heli doesn't count

I'll give credit to Salamander III for being the only Gradius I've 1cc'd so far. I could probably knock Gradius NES off real easily, at least.

Why hasn't any shmup came up with the idea of displaying the number of frames you were late with the bomb?
As in you got shot, you pressed bomb 2 frames after collision, and you get a message in the corner sayin "2 FRAMES TOO LATE BUDDY" or something
would be cool

>>732195296
Shmups thrive on extreme lack of documentation and clarity, for instance there's nothing in game in DFK to explain 99% of the shit you see and read
