Why aren't you playing a shmup right now /v/? It's the most skill based and rewarding genre of game to complete. Post your favorite shoot-em-ups
It's the most tranny-infested genre of game
>>735564832When rhythm and imsims exist? I think not.
retard
>>735565012Rhythm is just easier shmup, there's no ship to control.
>>735565096What does difficulty have to do with troons infesting the community?
Can we have one thread where /v/ doesn't obsess about transgenders or is that impossible?
Only shmup I'm playing recently is TSS when I don't know what else to do. So at least I keep myself in touch with the genre.
>>735565623What is TSS?
>>735565675A cute VS shmup, works like touhou 3 if you have ever seen that before, but it's more traditional as opposed to danmaku style.
>>735565497
>>735565847Looks neat, I'll have to try it out. Thank you!

>>735565979Have fun. People still play it on Fightcade with enough frequency, I would recommend using that for multiplayer specifically. Otherwise guess you can play any other version like the PC/Switch ports
>>735565497Found the tranny
>>735566147many of them are off-center, that's bullshit
>>735564773I'm looking for another shmup that has a cool story like ZeroRanger. Do any of the classic or new indie shmups have that same feeling with cool setpieces like the rival fight or infiltrating the fortress with all the skulls? Most shmups I've played the story is whatever and you just keep fighting bigger and bigger space ships.
>>735566489Good thing it's not a danmaku game with a lot of microdoging then.
>>735566147Braindead devs, holy shit. Someone hire me.
>>735567362Well shit, now we gotta ban the fairies because players can actually dodge while playing as them, they have no more weaknesses.
>>735566083What console would even be good for shmups anymore? Xbox360 somehow used to be the main one but Xbox as a brand is fucking dead.
>>735568349Switch in terms of having the games and handheld being a cool way to play arcade stuff, but port quality/input lag varies.That said, hacked switch can run RetroArch
>>735565303trannies are autistic or similarly mentally ill, shumps require heavy pattern recognition and memorization skills.
I have been playing Layer Section as of late. It's a lot of fun until I get distracted for two seconds, die, then scream the n word and punch my stick
>>735565497ywnbaw
>>735568745Last time I checked, having good pattern recognition and memory means you are smart and able to recall relevant information.But I guess normalfags had to invent some cope to demonize literally having higher brain capacity.
>>735568870what kind of shmup is that
>>735568969abbreviation of the next touhou game, Young Wind's Newest Ballad Against Winter
>>735564773>most skill basedIf the skill in question is memorization, sure.
>>735570524It's also planning, reaction time and the complexities involved in routing based on your position on the screen.
>>735571490Memorization is a prerequisite for planning and routing.
>>735564773i'm brainded. Out of brain juice, but i pull up touhou and other shmups to play when i'm feeling better
>>735572367didn't ask
>>735567362You might think you're clever, but you failed to consider the sprite being animated around the centre point
>>735573101what
All this shitposting and nobody has answered the most important question: vertical or horizontal?
>>735568968I didn't say that trannies were stupid.
>>735573318Both>butI said both. Fuck you.
>>735573264The original hit box is in the centre of an animation loop, the sprite isn't staticCome on anon
>>735568824That part of stage 5 where the music goes from creepy to triumphant and you sweep around shooting like 20 jets is like the hypest shit ever.https://youtu.be/6JknW_tb6ycLike right at the 12:40 mark, that's the good shit
>>735566593Radiant SilvergunLayer Section
Best one
>>735573970looks like westoid SHIT
>>735574148They also made ultrakill if that means anything to you https://youtu.be/Bsr9-QUX-VI
>>735574148looks like your gay
>>735573318Vertical is inherently better because things are symmetrical.
>>735564773>>12465187
>>735574459>>735574493fake news, westoid devs are the gay ones. here's the self-proclaimed creator of ultrakill being a fucking FAGGOThttps://x.com/HakitaDev/status/1561432855665844228https://x.com/HakitaDev/status/1624405516347736064
There is nothing wrong with being gay, ultrakill kinda sucks tho
>>735573318Vertical, for more traditional stuff like 194X or Tiger Heli, but horizontal is better for more experimental stuff, like Fantasy Zone style games or PVP.More of my favorites are horizontal.
>>735567362>I've never played a shmup in my life
>>735573970>>735574459is the gameplay uploaded in 30 fps? doesn't seem too smooth?
There are unironically too many good shmups to play. I may never run out.
>tfw no new AAA shmups are being releasedShmups are no longer seen as profitable so it's up to indies or re-release companies (that only bring old games to modern consoles) to create new games. Is it over for shmup chads?
>>735564773What do shmupers think of devil daggers?
>>735565096>Rhythm is just easier shmup
>>735576548Boring
>>735576457All these shmups yet my brain only wants TSS now.Oh well, check out this sick chain I somehow managed to get.
>>735564773Just got in a shmup mood again recently and decided to get Hellsinker and Diadra Empty going again.
>Zero RangerIt looks so ugly that I refuse to play it. Literally games released 30 years ago weren't so low res.
>>735576548gay and retarded. Shmups and FPS games are a bad mix together. The whole reason bullet hell works so well in a shmup is because you can see the entire playfield at all times. You can't do that in FPS games.
>>735576556Hes right, no rhythm game player is doing thishttps://youtu.be/0W3kMUM_tKY
>>735576481>AAAYou will never need a shitton of money to make a good shmups anyway.
>>735576686>refuses to play one of the top 5 shmoops of all timeYour loss, RETARD
>>735576697>You can't do that in FPS games.That's cool tho, camera control is a skill.
>>735576754Zeroranger isn't even a top 50 shmup, this is some aktane tier shit, I can't believe you said that lol
>>735576652>Diadra Empty>"free roaming shmup"huh
>>735574148westoid shmup devs are learning
I love ZeroRanger so much bros
>>735576754Oh no, one less game out of the 50 I still have to 1CC in 3 lifetimes, how will I ever recover
>>735564773Zero memorable characterseven undertale had better chaaracters
>>735576803>Not even top 50There are not 49 shmups better than ZeroRanger
>>735576973Yes there is
>>735576848Sort of. They learned to do CAVE-style in a way that isn't that far from actual CAVE games, so at least it gets preserved to some extent.
>>735577060Name just 20

>>735577439Yeah I know that's why I said its an aktane tier comment
>>735577487What the fuck is an aktane
>>735577323ZeroRanger is better than all of them tbqh
>zer orangermeme game.
>>735577603>The reason people baselessly hate ZeroRanger is because it had a wider and stronger critical appeal than their favorite underage panty shooters from JapanHilarious. Keep seething about it.
>>735575937You fucking retard, GTFO of this thread. NOW!
>>735564773because the majority of the people on planet earth are bad people or non human entities who give power and worship the child raping king non omnipotent archon jesus christ and i came here to stop him so he torments me cus unlike everyone else who came here to stop him his "ai" has not eaten me yetbecause it cantfuck all gods theyre raping thievesjesus is worse than baal he is the king aka elthe worst of them allthats why he hides as a being of light
>>735577739This could have been avoided if you just got the 1cc
>>735564773i don't like memorizing stages/routes and the scoring system in most of these games is annoying and you're basically forced to interact with it if you want to 1cc the game AKA actually beat it
Big bee boss can succ my massive B-L laser blast.https://streamable.com/u7hpzn(repost but it's been a while)
>>735577670>underage pantyI prefer when these aren't constantly visible, as it becomes hard to concentrate when they are, but I won't let them stop me
>>735576973It managed to make it to Top 25 a few times, but then people entirely forgot about it two years later.
>>735578021This was the most intimidating thing ever when I first did it and now it's like meh, it's kinda funny how that goes
>>735578139Yeah to be fair it's not even the worst thing this boss can do. Satisfying as fuck though.
>>735578083>Strikers 1945When the boomers die games like these will eventually leave the lists right? A lot of these have to be nostalgia comfort titles people will always rank highly because they played them during their formative years.
>>735576973I've played about that many shmups (if I count all touhous) and zeroranger is probably the only one I genuinely liked for the actual shmup playing part and it's also ludokino
>>735578021I've seen touhou patterns way harder than this. What game is it? I could probably do it first try.
>>7355782451945 II is not a boomer game, it's a whacky bullet hell where your ship has anime super powers and you fight giant mechs
>>735578427I thought it was that WW2 NES game.
>>735578340How the hell do you not recognize DOJ while claiming to play shmups. I'm not trying to be obscure here.
>>735578340Boku no Pico Rinne Tensei, available on the ps4 and switch in the Japanese regionHave fun
>>735578021>1You used continue. Not funny.
>>735578474God no, the game is genuinely fucking nuts
>>735578556Wasn't part of a 1cc attempt. You never just play the game?
Where does /v/ stand on the "girl with magic powers" versus "sci-fi spaceship" discussion? Which protagonist do you prefer? Does it matter?
>>735576815Each stage is on a large scrolling map like Defender except without the wraparound, and enemies/bosses spawn in waves over time.Sadly the steam version is absolutely fucked so you'll need to track down the OG version.
>>735578672I'll play both, but I definitely prefer characters fly around in a vehicle rather than simply fly around with nothing but their own body. Even something like the jetpack girl in Gunbird 2 is way cooler to me than someone just flying around with nothing. I have no idea what strand of autism this is because I sure as fuck don't care about realism.
>>735578672How do I even say it without sounding like a massive tsun?For one, I actually love magical girls(the genre), so the aesthetic is mighty fine in my book. But don't think you will see me playing *these* any time soon.
has anyone played BIRDCAGE? should i get it?
>>7355786051cc is part of the experience. I can't see myself "having fun" by credit feeding my way through to the end. Though I do have save states for each stage and bosses if I just want a quick dose of shmup.
>>735579113It's pretty ass, sadly.
>>735578672I want more non spaceship/airplane shmups, whether that be little girls, animals, dragons, or whatever.If anything, that's my biggest complaint about current shmups, it's 95%+ spaceships. Give me a little fantasy.
>>735579173Well I have 1-ALL'd the game multiple times before, BL(both -Ls, both -EXs) and WL(B-S, even posted it about here, B-L at a later time) even.
I bought the paid version of Kaikan during the last Steam sale. It's really fun.Unfortunately, I don't have time to play shoot 'em ups right now, so it'll probably be sveral months before I finally have time to really dive into the game and enjoy it.
LITERALLY impossible
>>735580529>finally have timeJust play like an hour a day, if that
>>735564773I love Cotton, I can't wait to play Rock With You and Psyvariar 3 with her!Right now I'm still working on her artbook scan.
>>735573806I love how they blew their whole budget on the stage 5 and 6 backgrounds and then 7 is pretty much static. So good.
>>735578540this gay shit must go so hard if you're a troon
>>735580529>don't have timeShmups are literally one of the least time intensive games to play. A full run is what, like 40 minutes on the long side? Surely you can spare 10 minutes to play a stage or two.
>>735581283Cotton doesn't have breasts like that
>>735581283How are the Cotton games on Steam? It's confusing because apparently two different companies were in charge of the ports and one of them is complete ass on PC but not on console?
>>735581543I wish I could get like a 2D map stitch of stage 7 map because the perspective of what's going on in the background is nuts as you're inside a giant hollow earth and it's curves up into a giant pillar. It's looks really crazy as it scrolling.
>>735581998The Saturn games' ports are dogshitThe rest is fine (Rainbow Cotton is "fine", like, it runs and plays fine, it's just that it's Rainbow Cotton)
>>735573318vertical on horizontal
do hardcore shmupfags like Minishoot? or consider it too casual?
>>735582268https://store.steampowered.com/app/1656820/COTTON_REBOOT/This is the bad one right? It's got the lowest score outside of Rainbow Cotton.
>>735573970>>735574459Irony poisoned westoid shit. That name is disrespectful to read, let alone consider purchasing. Looks atrocious and flat. Probably plays like euroshmup garbage.
>>735583808The worst part about that particular game is how it looks like low effort irony poisoned westoid shit but when you actually play it it's a really solid shmup. The name isn't doing it any favors.
>>735583808based anti-westoid sincerity enjoyer.
>>735564773I'm really bad at shmups, like REALLY bad. I beat white apple or whatever that mode is called using like a billion retires, only to get hit with [the spoiler] at the end, and instantly uninstalled, given what they were asking me to do. The concept is Fucking GREAT though, and I'm glad it exists for the people who can play the shit like this, but I can't be bothered.
>>735583808>Irony poisoned westoid shitWesterners needed to start developing some more serious artistic philosophies. Even the title of these guys' game is ironic.
>>735573318Vertical, horis are usually way more gimmicky
>>735584348I think that mode is actually harder to fully beat than the full game. If you play the main game with max credits it's pretty forgiving.
>>735581772Yeah, she's a bit smallerIn the new games she's also rather flat.>>735581998The only games that have bad ports are the Saturn games (2 and Boomerang). They're just emulated roms too, just use Mednafen. The other games on Steam are fine.>>735583667A lot of people think that the Reboot port is too bare bones but it's alright in my book. I think the main issue people have is the lack of resolution options.
>>735583667It's not badIt just has some silly stuff going on like, not being able to run on Proton without some tinkering and having very little resolution optionsThe negative reviews I remember seeing always talk about those problems (that are still not solved to this day)
>>735583539Not a hardcore shmupfag but I liked this game a lot. I'd go so far as to call it a hidden gem. The bullet patterns are pretty good. Problem is most traditional shmoopers are too autistically fixated on the traditional definition of shmup they won't give twin sticks a chance, let alone a twin-stick adventure game.
>>735564773Too busy making one, my nigga.
>>735586107WESTIE EUROSHMUP GARBAGE SHIT NO ONE CARES! HOW ABOUT LET BASED NIPS DO THE SAME BUT 1000% BETTER?
>>735586280uh oh. based.
>>735585978I like Nuclear Throne, which is definitely not a shmup. The problem with this game is its pretending to be a shmup, but also has patterns for the type of people that think Zelda is challenging, so not much for me there.
>>735583808 You’re judging it off the title like a boomer judging an anime by the box art. Yeah the name is terminally indie and sounds like it was focus‑tested on Twitter, but it’s not some floaty eurojank physics experiment.It’s tight, patterns are readable, scoring actually matters, and it doesn’t have that sluggish “weighty ship” crap western devs love. Feels closer to a streamlined doujin shmup than whatever strawman you’ve made up in your head.If anything the biggest crime is the marketing. The game itself is legit. Stop being filtered by vibes.
Oh but I am. It's the most played genre on my Steam Deck.Currently training stage 3 of Mushihimesama.On the side, I'm also training:Blue RevolverZeroRangerCrimzon CloverMuchi Muchi PorkYes I know about Futari, have it on my deck and have played it a ton. But I'm autistic and want to 1CC Mushi first.
>>735586480Yeah it's pretty easy compared to a "real" shmup. There's a hard mode which probably makes the bullets faster or something, I haven't tried it. IIRC there are health upgrades too so you can just not get those if you want a better challenge. I definitely wouldn't call it "Zelda" easy.
Maybe just do 1 at a time
>>735587738>Muchi Muchi Pork>Not on SteamIs it because the character designs are too based?
>>735587869Certainly.
>>735587869I like the sheep girl
>>735586639That trailer had half the patterns being destroyable, which instantly negates the need to have proper patterns. Even if it's tighter gameplay wise than its pedigree would imply, I can't see a reason to play it when there's so many good shmups without the negatives.
>>735588050shmup girls are underrated desu
>>735564773Zeroranger is easily the best videogame experience I ever had. It was the first shmup I ever really got into, being new to a whole genre and pushing your way through is really interesting if you've been gaming all your life. By the time I beat the game I had an arcade stick. Fucking great times. I'll buy everything this team ever puts out now
shooting gamewill never die!!!
>>735564773>skill basedmemo
>ywn be this hype for a fight ever againhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bti-WdOg9jYZeroRanger mogs so many games with its presentation and set pieces despite being a simple shoot em up it's insane
>>735589580post you're 1ccs
>>735564773>Why aren't you playing a shmup right nowI've already played over 5 shmups and I've seen everything the game has to offer.
>>735586280>HOW ABOUT LET BASED NIPS DO THE SAME BUT 1000% BETTER?Because they aren't making it, nigga.
>>735591712Japan is probably the only country still making AAA shmups because they still have an arcade scene
