Autoscrolling stages feel more annoying than rewarding to me, and it appears to be a defining trait of shmups.
>>733756329Shmuptards will look at this and ejaculate at the "density"
>>733756008Third person shooters
>>733756008Gradius is a space shooterTry harder next time
>>733756008Fighting gamesShmups are honest at the very least>Here's your ship>Here are your enemies>Don't dieFighting games have a lot of gay bs like having to train, lab combos and data frame, learn matchups, and a lot of stuff that simply doesn't come from naturally playing. No wonder their genre is dying. >>733756045Not a genre>>733756108VNs are distant cousins of point and click adventures, so they can't be that bad
>>733756793>Shmups are honest at the very leastThe genre resorts to carny tier rigging behind the scenes if you play well. It's not honest at all.

>>733756793>fighting games are dyingTell that to Marvel Tokon, Invincible Vs, Virtua Fighter 6, Avatar Legends, and Combo Devils.
>>733756329that level looks both good and not particularly hard. what hack
>>733756045fpbpGachafags are genuinely sub-human.
>>733756008RTS
>>733756045That's a monetization model, just like how shmups were pay per play in the arcades.

>>733756329It's weird, the autoscrolling stages in Mario always felt slow as shit to me but I never had this issue with shmups or rail shooters.
>>733756008The trick to dodging bullets is by not dodging. Git gud.
>>733756008I love pixels
I just got a Futari Black Label 1CC almost right after clearing the original Mushihimesama on V1.5. Good shit. It came down to my last life because I completely threw near the end but I wouldn't say I was at much of a risk by that point. Reco is sexy.>>733756045FP = BPOP = FAG
>>733756329>posts a great looking auto scroll levelwhat did he mean by this
>>733756329The autoscrolling levels in Mario games tend to be one of the good levels. Real gamers try to beat World 8 Airship without the P-Wing.
>>733757963It's because they are slow. Slower shoot 'em up stages tend to give you something to do, farm score or powerups or something. Too many Mario autoscroller sections just have you hang out.It's not universal, though. Some shmup stages are so shit you can beat them by holding down a button in the corner and I really like SMB3 5-9 and the World 8 aerial fleet

>>733757093>Marvel Tokonmeh>Invincible Vslooks like absolute shit and Invincible is the gayest IP ever, capeshit needs to burn in hell already>Virtua Fighter 6Will be good but will probably be dead in a month because no one gives a shit about 3D fighters that don't have "Tekken" in the title> Avatar LegendsLooks bland as fuck, boring fucking IP that hasn't been relevant in over a decade>Combo Devils.Smash clone, not a fighting game
>>733764630Combo Devils isn't a clone, it's a hybrid.
>>733756008i think shmups are fun and are one of the pillar genres of gaming but i suck at them so can't finish themthe only ones i could finish were gunnac and zeroranger
