i just played one credit on dodonpachi daioujou and i suggest you do the same, can you beat my score?
>>735996835buy an ad
>>735996908send me some bitcoin and i will
>>735996835No, and I'm not going to try.
>>735997038even if i say pretty please and i give you a sad puppy face?
>>735996835Gratz. My clear score of doj is fucking terrible, so much so i literally have an uploaded replay of the clear and never shared it with anyone. I pretty much just stumbled through the game with b-shotia. I want to go back and do a proper exy clear at some point.
>>735998207at least you can clear it, im still permastuck at stage 3, well to see you're doing alright fellow tranime connoisseur
>>735998291Here's the clear, no bullyhttps://youtu.be/PebWNF5B8g0Stage 3 is when the routing really starts. You really, really need to have a good strategy in this game, I feel this is a game where dodging is incredibly dangerous, so try to keep it comfy. It's definitely worth clearing, it's a super cool game and even though I had trouble with it at the time it left a huge impression on me
>>735998590>routingmiss me with that gay shit
>>735998207can you not avatarfag like on /vr/ nigger?
>>735998207>>735998590by the way do you know if the oshimai manga extends beyond the anime? and if so, do you know in what volume/chapter does it continue after the anime ends
>>735998207die avatarfag
>>735998634Routing in doj is quite important
>>735998770No one caresFuck off
>>735998757>by the way do you know if the oshimai manga extends beyond the anime? and if so, do you know in what volume/chapter does it continue after the anime endsIt goes way past the anime and the anime isn't a direct adaptation of the manga, it's more like bits and pieces of it. The manga has a pretty different vibe to it.
>>735998823fuck, so is best to read it from the beggining? ok, good to know
>>735996835im working on my 1cc of radiant silvergun first
>>735999065isnt that game like excessively long?
>>735999065>>735999164samefag
>>735999164its 1-1 1/2 hours so kind of especially since its a treasure shmup so its a puzzle game too
>>735999257Huh? It's 30 minutes long.
These threads are always the same 2 faggots desperate for validation and pretending like they play a game they're savescumming through.
>>735999359thats arcade, saturn mode is longer
>>735999385>everyone who plays a video game must be cheatingthird world mindset
>>735999385if you read the /vr/ threads they were excusing pause buffering because "they could do it legit anyway"no gaming community is ever taking them seriously kek
>>735999475why do you say 'they'? do you think because we're all anonymous it means we're all the same people? are you autistic perchance
>>735999385>>735999475You can't fully blame them, most shmup longplays on YouTube are trash. They might 1cc to show off the game but you can tell they were flailing around and reloading savestates 90% of the time.
>>735999620>savestatesyou are brown

>>736003301I've said it before and I'll say it until you people get the messageIf you don't appreciate both heavy mechanical design and gritty warfare, AND cute girls, you can get the fuck out
>>736003330Holy shit! Is this Space Invaders??
>>736003340I gotta beat his score though.
>>736003301Isn't DOJ the game that started adding the anime sluts? So they copied Touhou.>>736003330>proving the pointLol.
>>736003385Far more complex.
>>736003349ok we heard that you like shmups AND little girls in swimsuits AND mechas so hear me out
I'm fortunate enough to live in a city with a real arcade, and I played Space Invaders. I was genuinely surprised at how fun it was, and it got me thinking, I'm pretty sure there's some mystical element to arcade games that elevate them in a real arcade, that's lost playing them at homePerhaps this is the nebulous "SOVL"
>>736003410>copied TouhouThose do NOT look like troonhou designs lol stupidnigger
>>736003410>So they copied Touhou.And 2hu copied Parodius, your point?
>>736003410>started adding the anime slutsgood... great game design always involves anime sluts
>>736003440left is yukari but uglyright is meiling but boring and stereotypical
>>736003423Now we're talking
>>736003410looks infinitely better than >>736002530>>736003492>I don't know what I'm talking aboutWe know.
>>736003492They look NOTHING like them lol delusional 2hunigger
>>736003439I was fascinated by the complexity too. Space Invaders is far and away the best shmup I've ever played.
>all Touhou clones btw
>>736003615most packed arcade after 2008
>>736003615>no one actually playing them
>>736003615touhoulikes used to be what roguelikes or soulslikes are nowadays
>>736003485Yep, another reason why Touhou is the best. They did it from the beginning.
>>736003707>Yep, another reason why Touhou is the best. They did it from the beginning.Parodius started it and perfected it years before 2hu came around.
>>735996835It's not a one credit run if you used save states. Did you use save states OP? Be honest.
>>736003762no one knows what that istouhou dominated japanese culture for decades
>>736003765no, is it even "a run" if i didnt even got past stage 3?
>>736003824>no one knows what PARODIUS isJust because you're a zoomer doesn't mean everyone else is
>>736003864No one knows what that isNow please share Parodius's 4.4 terabyte music collection
>>736003864mfw zoomers are almost 30 years old already
>>736003893>>736003824Dickgirls and yaoi dominate Japanese culture, have for decades. Guess that means they're good, right?

i am an average shmup super player and i look like this
>>736003960some dickgirls can be good thought
>>736004039You either die a respectable genre or you live long enough to become 2hu
I said 1CC. Stop credit feeding and cheating your way through the game.
>>736004042That's what raizing fans look like, yeah, you got a problem with that
>>73599683515 years ago
>>736004078>respectable genre
>>736004097>arcade stick for couples h-hot
>>736004042cool fella, people shouldnt look like that though
>>736004116>NPC
>>735996835If I ever go back to grinding shmups it's gonna either be Battle Garegga or the Gradius/Parodius series
>>736004120>avatarfagging
>>736004078>respectable genreThe general consensus with arcade shmups is that they're too simple and tedious. Touhou is mostly relevant for the doujins and music, not the shmups.
>>736004184>too simple and tedious.Never played a Yagawa shmup?
>>736004184>too simplewhat even does a complex arcade game looks like
>>736004042He's cute and nice.
>>736004207Kek you are too simpleminded
>>736004178That's a single reaction post. When you spam it like >>735998761 it becomes avatarfagging.
>>736004374Okay
>>736004184>normalfags are retardedYeah
>>735996835>136 million. Pretty good.>look again>13 millionOof. Ganbatte, Anon.I've been barely dipping my toes into loop 2.Yes, I'm paranoid enough to censor my initials.
>>736004042Emo Philips play shmups?
>>736004374gonna cry? piss your pants maybe?
xe has a point 'ja know
>>736004169>>736004169Actually it'd be specifically Gradius V since it's awesome and I feel like I basically had a solid route for stages 1-6. It's just that the goop can randomly fuck you over and then stage 7 is really hard and also the game's a fucking hour long so it's an endurance test.
>>736004487at least on the left one the hitbox is clear and easy to understand
Love how shmupniggers are defending avatarfagging and posting discord screencaps nowBurn it down, start over
>>736004538Neither of them mark the hitbox xobeit
>>736004525>I basically had a solid route for stages 1-6Better than me. I can only reach the stage 5 boss on a good day.
>>736004487>left has 20x more bulletswhat is discordtranny crying about?
>>736004606I think I used flamethrower and spread bombs and freeze optionsFlamethrower gets rid of the asteroids quickly and you can get good enough to quick kill with the freeze optionsI think the hard part for that boss was that you had to completely stop shooting during the danmaku attack so you could use the asteroids as shields, and then you had a very small window to get as close as possible and kill it in 1 or 2 cycles ideally
>>736004798*good enough range to more easily quick kill
>>736004798>I used flamethrower and spread bombsI'll try rolling out with those next time, thanks.
>>736004848Yeah flame is good, it kills bosses fast but you'll mostly have to use your double for the stages since it has pretty short range. I think I used either Vertical or the normal Double most of the time. Maybe Tailgun sometimes. They all have their pros and cons.
>>736004487shmupfags hate 2hu because they can't savescum through it
>>736004525>>736004606>>736004848>>736004902Samefag
>>736004903>they can't savescum through itDon't even need to, any player worth their salt won't need more than a few tries to 1CC most of them.
>>736004967Yet we still had retards on /vr/ complaining about the lack of resources for Touhou.
>>736004951Differentfag
>>736004994>retards on /vr/Are you saying there's non-retards on /vr/ in comparison?
>>736004994That was from the avatarnigger btw
>>736004994touhou gives you far more resources than your average shmup. you get like 11 lives per credit
>>736005050>11 lives per creditAre puffin on freebased coca of what
>>736005050I'm not talking about lives/bombs, I meant replays.
>>736002445>pretentious shmuptards>touhoufag then goes a schizophrenic rant, making up pretend scenarios in his head and shitting up every shmup thread for all eternity, while also telling people not to play touhou (which he's angry at people for not playing)Sheesh, this is wild.
>>736005198you niggers have been the ones spamming these threads for years and yet you still have to samefag for "gameplay discussion"
>>736005297No one is samefagging, you need to take your meds.

These threads are an improvement over the weird pretentious bullshit about game design and savestated gameplay clips. And I'm including the autistic screeching about browns and trannies.
>>736008120Do you even like shmups or Touhou characters?
>>736008120ok but did you actually play the game?
best thread on /v/ right now
I've long since given up on 1CCing Cave and Raizing games, I just play them for score and have a good time doing it, and nothing anyone says can change that.
Not even surprised at the quality of the thread at this point.>>735996835Which DOJ? There are at least two main versions, the original "white label" and the revised "black label".>>736011046But to get a higher score you require 1cc? What did he mean by this.
Let me guess, Mork hasn't even finished Shinobi PS2 but made a video
>>736013147>Which DOJ? There are at least two main versions, the original "white label" and the revised "black label".was playing the white label, not sure whats even the difference between them, the only black label i play frequently is the daifukkatsu one
>>736013192if he no longer finishes games before reviewing them that means he's becoming a real true gaming journalist
>>>>>>>>>becomingMork has LITERALLY said you can know all there is about a game in the first hour
>>736013264>you can know all there is about a game in the first hourif true he's so close to finally getting hired by IGN
>>736013198>was playing the white label, not sure whats even the difference between themWithout getting into all the small changes: white label is harder and that is especially true on the second loop, though the first one is also not the same as black label. Also most noticeably, Shotia is weaker and slower(why did they do this to the main girl again?). There is exactly one thing that's easier in the OG: getting the score extends(but scoring in black label is also easier because you get more hypers)Most people prefer black label.
>>736013503lmao shotiafags got FUCKED
>>736013552In more ways than one. She is also the only girl who dies in the end.
>>736013503holy fuck i just played the black label, and is very easy in comparison... i prefer the white label
>>736013768thanks for the spoiler fag, now whats the point of fucking 1cc-ing it if i already know what happens at the end
>>736013876>i prefer the white labelFor first loop runs I ended up preferring WL too.>>736013913Doing it with Leinyan and Exy of course.
Touhou 19 was pretty fun, but I can see why some people would dislike it or prefer 9 and others to it.
>>736008307Of course he didn't, he doesn't play anything
>>736015814Play Twinkle Star Sprites. It's the same concept, but done way better.
how do you git gud at these games? Even mushihimesama is kicking my ass and it's supposedly on the easier side of things.
>>736018254Thats an awfully open ended question. If you can't identify where and why you're dying then your entire approach is probably wrong. I hope that doesn't sound pretentious but it's kind of obvious.
>>736018254Practice.If you want to be efficient about it, use an emulator with save states and keep grinding whatever you find difficult. While making sure you are consistent about it, beating a section once and without context isn't enough.Many modern ports also offer a stage select mode, that should help too but it's not as efficient.If you prefer old style, give yourself a certain amount of credits, like 20 or so, and try to clear the game more times while using less credits, until at some point you are down to 1cc.
>>736005767These are the type of people telling you shmups are too hard to 1cc
>>735996835based cave enjoyer but daifukkatsu is better
>>736020047DFK is an elaborate CAVE shitpost but that's what makes it great.
>>736020278see, you get it
>>736021519Indeed.Also important song to post whenever DFK is mentioned, since unfortunately it wasn't included in the PC/console ports. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo2nkmebhkUYes it's official.
>>736017715That game sucks and is inferior to even PoFV.
>>736021813Only if you are trying to play it as if it was indeed PoFV.Same concept, but very different approach required.
>>736021890it looks like gen z tiktok subway surfers low attention span dogshit
>>736022370So you are complaining about the game being too fast for you? Wecome to actual arcade shmups I guess.
>>736022439it looks like infantile trash, can you read?
>>736022516>infantile trashWelcome to arcade shmups I guess. The developers who handled the Steam port were garbage too.
>>736022516That's not what you wrote. Being afraid of the cute style is even worse.>>736022564Unfortunately true about the port. People usually use fightcade instead
>>736022602Lmao. Typical discord groomer intelligence and taste in games
>>736022602it's ok, some of us learned how to read and got past 1st grade
>>736022735I mean, if you only want to play the arcade/story modes I'm not stopping you.>>736022810The post in question:>>736022370>it looks like gen z tiktok subway surfers low attention span dogshitSorry, I wasn't taught buzzwords in school.
>>736022876Amazing how you act like an ass then admit you didn't understand any of it. Not surprising nobody likes these games, retards like you play them
>>735996835thanks but i am good
>>736017715Thanks, played a bit of it and yeah, it looks pretty interesting. I like the dynamics changing a bit with you not having to shoot so much and sometimes having to avoid enemies. Still gotta see how to not get instaswept by enemies but it's fun. Also God, I love grazing. Facing the final boss in TH19 and grazing the attacks just instantly refills your skills with the sheer density and i'ts so satisfying.
>>736022949the only thing missing is calling me brown
>>736022949I understood you are a zoomer projecting your zoomerisms on me, that's for sure.>>736023047Enemy formations are the part of the game you can just route, both in the sense of getting Perfects and knowing how to avoid them when it's better to not give reverse fireballs to the opponent.
>>736023194>enemy formations you can just route>so the whole game where I don't dodge anythingBased, back to PoDD
>>736023467>>so the whole game where I don't dodge anythingWhat happened to the fireballs, ex attacks, and boss attacks?
>>736023194>unc still doubling downembarrassing
>>736023532You are in an arcade thread, child. Even DOJ is probably older than you, and it was made in 2002.
>>736023047Twinkle star needs to be played with other humans to be appreciated, a lot of work went into making it feel like a fighting game, where you can actually pressure and mix up your opponent, which seperates it from the 2hu clones.
>>736023607>unc is reaching 40 and still can't readHumiliating
>>736023703when you watch a grand finals and it still looks boring as fuck you know the game suckshttps://youtube.com/watch?v=CladSvL7H_0
>>736023830Welcome to actual arcade shmups I guess.
>>736023703>pressureYes>mix upSort of? More like you can make decisions regarding whether to bounce back fireballs aggressively(possibly along with EX and boss so the opponent cannot easily just shoot them back to send their own EX) or play more conservatively to reduce stuff floating around until you see a chance to drop a lot of attacks at once(like when you are in fever).The "moves" are limited so it's not exactly the same thing, but I guess the concept is similar enough.

>>736024487Kill yourself avatarnigger.
>>736025010Did the bot break
>>7360244871945 II is waaaaay too hard. 1999 is somehow the easiest one even if you go for 2-ALL. Mostly because X-36 is a busted ship (his bomb sucks if you panic bomb, but everything else is godlike).
>>736025162Can you fuck off to Twitter if you want to be an attention whoring faggot?
>>736024487>>736025291based samefag>>736025292the op is literally an attention whoring faggotthese trannies are where they belong, in a thinly veiled discord thread
>>736025291>1945 II is waaaaay too hardI don't think the 1-all is too bad so far but I haven't routed stages 7 and 8 yet. I think it's pretty similar to dragon blaze, just longer but we'll see. When I was doing some research I saw a lot of suggestions to play pancake but I think focke is better for survival.
>>736025292>>736025390For how much it pains me to defend on*mai faggot here...Posting gameplay clips or scores in an arcade thread is perfectly fine and should be encouraged. And your idea of a good thread seems to be raw shitposting instead, while putting down people for saying they are playing the games. Unironically going for the "noone plays games on /v/" memes here.
>>736025612no one cares about savestated rewinded slop. fuck off back to your shitty dead general.
>>736025692What should the thread be for then? It's very apparent to me looking at the previous posts ITT that you seem to be encouraging pure shitflinging. Not even quality trolling, just flailing around at people.
>>736025612he's obviously using savestates
>>736025812The use of savestates isn't what being discussed here, that's a separate matter and one that you can just claim for everyone posting any form of gameplay that's not handcam'd anyways, so not particularly productive either.
>>736025791>What should the thread be for thenIt shouldn't exist, yet you keep bumping it anyway. This is a great post for /shmupg/.Genuinely kill yourself and never come back.
>>736025954>X upsets me, it shouldn't existHow about you fuck off somewhere else?
>>736025812What does that even mean, I already posted a full replay on an m2 port which doesn't save replays from a savestate to my knowledge. The whole reason I'm posting this stuff is to show that anyone can do it, now that I'm a god gamer or something. If someone wants to beat these games they definitely can.
>>736025916It's relevant because you niggers keep wanting to push the "these games are so hard and I'm so hardcore" narrative
>>736025916>post cheated gameplay >call yourself better than everyone else Great, quality posting.
>>736026003>attention whoring on an anonymous forum shouldn't existcorrect, and yet here we are 270 posts later
>>736026047>now that*not that
>>736026064>>736026091Posting a gameplay clip doesn't mean thinking you are better than anyone at anything.Though I'm not sure what's the point of even arguing this, since arcade model does encourage either direct competition or at least async one through scoring/clears/whatever. Sounds like you just don't vibe very well with the entire concept.>>736026127Posting something you did in vidya on /v/ should always be allowed, retarded nigger.
>>736026221Gee, really sounds like attention whoring arcadeniggers should have their own general. I wonder which board is the video game general?
>Plaza faggots telling you to go back to... discord
>>736026319>all video game discussion should be off /v/ and hidden away in generals, which I will then kill with shitposting anyways
>>736026319Elaborate on why a general should be necessary in the very first place.In fact it's not a good idea to make a general about "arcade" because there are a fuckton of different games and genres involved. That would be almost the same idea as making a general about an entire console generation.
>>736026319Xe is trying very hard to hide how /shmupg/ died from lack of activity and tranny-tier drama
>>736026456Personally, I couldn't give less of a fuck about shmupg and would rather not see most of the anons who posted there regularly around on other boards.
>>736026428>an entire console generationWhat?>>736026456Well that explains everything. Not even Discord can save them.
>>736026428>making a general about an entire console generation>the /vr/ general gets 5 posts a day without shitflingingYeah bro, which console would that be again?
>>736026556>What?We call it "analogy".Arcade is a very broad category of games which includes very different genres, the only real similiarity being the fact you have to insert coins in a machine to play.
Imagine how mentally retarded someone has to be to have an attachment to an old dead general for games they suck so bad at they think anyone posting basic clears is cheating
>>736026689and it would still get 20 posts a day, 15 of which are fighting games and 5 are you samefagging about shmups
>>736026724>posting basic clearsYou were posting 20 second clips.
>>736026904Where?
>>736026904NTA but you realize that makes your stance even worse
>>736027012>NTAlol
>>736027062Now adding "has schizo delusions and a persecution complex" to your resume, I see.
What difficulty are you supposed to play psikyo games on
>>736027012nigger you had to lie about shmupg for this "argument"
>>736026724>IS THIS... A 1CC OF THE FIRST LOOP!!!??? NOT ON MY WATCH!! I WILL HAVE TO ASK THE JHA TO SEND THEIR SUPERPLAYER NINJAS TO ASSASSINATE YOU FOR SUCH SHAMEFRU DISPRAY!!!
>>736027141Arcade default? That's the one they actually bother playtesting, to some degree.
>>736027191>shitposting about cheating to hide your cheatingBased, I love playing (savestating through) shmups
>>736027141I just play the arcade versions since all the ports are fucked up for one reason or another, and in that case I leave the DIP switch settings to default
I love how all the shmup companies are so incompetent they can't do a Steam port correctly, so everyone still plays and practices on emulator anyway.
>>736027437To be fair, they don't port their stuff directly.And M2STG ports on console are good.
>>736027437most of them died for a reason
>>736027501>on consoleEw, how do I savestate on that
>>736027714By using the included save state function in M2 ports.
>>736027751Lol. Maybe a Twitch/Youtube stream is necessary.
>>736027936lol. melty time
>stop attention whoring>also livestream yourself with a webcam
>>736013768All the endings to doj are kind of messed up
>>736027936And now you see why this should be a general
>>736028646I don't think your vision for /v/ is a very good one, the shouldn't just be a place for Twitter jeets to farm izzat
>>736028614Yea, but poor Shotia just fucking dies.Leinyan loses her girl body but at least she uploads herself into the Type-A ship and supposedly can just live with her pilot. How they will get down to business is up to your imagination.
>>736028732You are not changing /v/ retard. Go be a self conflating dipshit somewhere else
>>736028762Just build a new one. They're all just robutts.
>>736029008man these are just touhou sluts at home
>>736028890>posting gameplay is self conflatingTo be honest, this sounds like projection of your own insecurities, and that you know if gameplay is expected you're afraid you'll be left behind, because you don't play anything
>>736029112>projectingSavestateslop while larping as playing the game is bottom of the barrel.
>>736029218You remind me of the schizo shrieking about CS all being cheaters. It's not that hard to get a clear, people have just been conditioned to not be used to putting in any effort imo, modern gaming is a little messed up right now
>>736029351getting a 1-all nearly every day on a game you've never played before is a wee bit suspicious
>>736029351if it's not hard then why do you post savestate slop
>>736029008It was even more fucked up than that. It's argued the dolls actually have human memories but they got lobotomized to become ship enhancements and not question the fact they are being used for war.Shotia especially supposedly was a social worker.
>>736029414>getting a 1-all nearly every day on a game you've never played before is a wee bit suspiciousI've literally catalogued how I get clears step by step several times and it's like once every 2 weeks to a month, and I feel this is slower than some of my peers who also started playing in this capacity at around the same time. Like there's an ex-speedrunner that just got a ketsui matsuri clear recently after playing shmups for 3 months, I think that's insanely impressive. https://youtu.be/KQi7WgyUi0YIt's all relative to prior experience and the time you put in. My perception of myself is that I'm not very good and that anyone can do what I'm doing easily.
>>736029783Ew an avatarfagSeriously, make a fucking general already
>>736029979Don't attack people if you don't want a response
>>736030089don't samefag nigger
>>736030128No one is samefagging
>>736030172It's so obvious dude. If you're such friends already and hate having your feelings hurt then go make a Discord server.
>>736030327I promise you no one is samefagging dude
>>736028762Sacrifice is probably the most noble and merciful end a CAVE protagonist can experience
>>735996835White or black label?
>>735998590The game's gloomy style and aesthetic is great, I love how the last stage is a remix of stage 1's music and you fight a boss rush of all the previous game's stage bosses. So fucking cool
>>736030794Tru, at least she didn't get turned into a giant bullet hell machine who turns against humanity and huh.......Oh well, it is said the DFK girls are based on the OG dolls, but aren't exactly them. Nexy being an exception, that's actually her.
>>736003410They're androids augmenting your ship and you don't see them outside of ship select so it's fine
>>736031474You see 'em in the ending and DOJ/DFK story is largely about 'em, if you even care about the plot at all.
>>736003615Where is this?
>>736031474Actually, cave likes to flash anime girls on your screen every time you clear a stage as a reward
>>736031350>love how the last stage is a remix of stage 1's musicKetsui does the same thing but it's really upbeat as a twist, like you're fed up with all this bullshit and on your way to kick the final bosses ass. It's hilarious they brought the boss glitch back though, I wonder of that was on purpose or if they just copy pasted the code.
>>736031675For how much of a reward it can be to see Exy losing her head(literal)
>>736031569Taito HEY.
>>736031073BL is an arrange mode for pussies. Play the real thing.

>>735998761At least it's better than trip or name fags
>>736033238>defending itKekaroo it's all attention whoring
>>736032707Pretty sick, thanks
Is there a decent time line somewhere for great or noteworthy shmups? Going back to asteroid, xevius etc? I want to work my way through the genre in a chronological way to experience the gameplay evolution if possible
>>736033424Start with Sine Mora (classic) and then Cygni (old school revival)
>>736034198Lol
>>736033109Not the same as arrange but let's be real, Black Label is a lot easier. I was genuinely surprised back then, my first exposure to DOJ was the original and it indeed felt really difficult as they say, then I heard BL exists and tried that, got a 1-ALL while just fucking around with A-L(and for reference, the only other danmaku I had 1cc'd before was Mushi Original, not even Maniac yet back then!).Eventually went back playing WL at least for first loop stuff. Though I occasionally also play BL 2nd loop too(not planning on actually doing 2-ALL, but it's a fun exercise)
>>736034198>CygniWould you believe me if I told Yoko Taro said this is his favorite shmup? I'd pay to see him play that.
>>736035031Gee, I wonder why....
>>736035031>Would you believe me if I told Yoko Taro said this is his favorite shmup?No because we all know it's Ikaruga
>>736035417lol
>>736035534
>>736035981Hasn't he gone on record saying he thinks Ikaruga is the perfect video game and he wishes he could have made it instead of Nier?Both Nier games are also loaded with Ikaruga references, both subtle and obvious
>>736035981Look up his favorite games of 2025
>>736035981>AI overviewlmao
>>736035534Actually it's Undertale.
>>736035981https://www.siliconera.com/yoko-taro-talks-about-how-his-favorite-shmup-ikaruga-has-influenced-his-games/
>>736036569lol
>>736036569I wonder if he noticed that the true lab segment is literally just the second emil mansion segment
>>736036582Fine, I was wrong. I just remember a while back when he expressed his love for DDP DFK and Silpheed.
>>736037675I think taro just randomly says stuff
>>736005314>webmI found a consistent setup for this segment recently, I might play this again soon.
I think shmups are one of the most worthwhile genres you can sink time into. Very little else has felt so rewarding. I find them very fun to play.
>>736040998Yes, that's why no one here actually plays them.
>>736042603I play the shmup.But I also like to do funny things. That counts as trying to practice this very annoying formation.
>>736043597wow... nice dodging... those 0 bullets... yep...
>>736043984Dodging? You do that when SUCK COCKS at shmups, not when you want to learn them properly.(yes this is an actual quote from a jap player)
>>736003410Touhou copied Esp Ra De
>>736044164>i have to route everything because i suck cocks at dodgingplay a rhythm game then
>>736044164>caring about jap players when their verification method is japanese twin galaxieslol
>>736044258No thank you, I'm straight.
>>736044441See >>736004042, we are all trannies.
>>736044258I only played this shit as a teen because rhythm games were too loud
>>736044479Hazylevels isn't trans, he's just a bit zesty
>>736013147>But to get a higher score you require 1cc? What did he mean by this.Again, I've accepted the fact that I won't 1CC most of the games I play. I don't let that get in the way of having fun playing for score.
>>736044164>>736044258It's not really about memo or routing, what it means is skilled shmup play involves prioritizing enemies and herding bullets in a way that minimizes the amount of difficult panic dodging you have to do. No matter how good you are at that you still need to dodge bullets (especially in bosses), it's really just a point to say that if someone constantly lets the screen flood with enemies and poorly aimed bullets but then is notably good at dodging through the mess they've created anyways, they're not a very strong shmup player in an overall sense.Both being really good at dodging and also minimizing the cases where you need to do really difficult dodging is what's necessary to be able to consistently get 2-alls and stuff without having to grind a trillion attempts for the starts to align.
>>736022564>The developers who handled the Steam port were garbage too.whats wrong with the steam port, it runs fine on my machine
>>736045539And this is why arcade shmups look gay and boring aside from like Inbachi and double washing machine and Touhou looks impressive to casuals. How you dodge the dense RNG patterns IS the part most people care about.
>>736045809That's on 2hu giving a bad impression of what's the genre about. Not that most people actually play it, the actual reason for why it attracts casuals is being popular in the doujin scene, along with retarded shit like not understanding how emulators work or thinking actual arcade games were only meant to be "quarter munchers".
>>736025291>1945 II is waaaaay too hardskill issue
>>736045991arcade shmups had decades of time for casuals to care about over touhounot their fault your games are inaccessible and look gay as fuck
>>736045991>only meant to be "quarter munchers"They are literally designed to be unfair in a blind playthrough and memotrash. No one cares about learning a fucking route.
This trolling routine is getting boring. Bet you don't even play fucking touhou in the first place.
>>736045809I mean, yeah, it's not exactly surprising that something that's easier but LOOKS harder to outsider eyes is impressive to outsider eyes. Anyone who has themselves played a game they're watching can immediately see how much screen control a high skill player has and that in and of itself is impressive, but I also feel like your whole point is kind of misleading because it's not like there's any shortage of dodging going on in high skill routed runs.
>>736043597Now do it at max rank. Fuck this formation
>>736046424cry more in shmupg faggot
>>736045809I don't know man, stuff like this seems fucking incredible to mehttps://youtu.be/wT8bzE940F4https://youtu.be/0W3kMUM_tKYLike there is not a single second of these runs where I'm not going "holy fucking shit"
>>736046505>max rankI will do it by shooting things at random or press bomb if shit hits the fan, thank you very much.Yeah, it's the one I really don't want to see. If there is literally anything else on the screen you risk getting hit fairly easily.
>>736046270>They are literally designed to be unfair in a blind playthrough and memotrash.They literally are not. If they're unfair unplayable trash, nobody will play the game more than once and the operators don't make money.There are exceptions like Tatsujin where the director was actually trying to make a memorizer but that's sort of an odd example of a niche game
>>736046450>watch random 40 minute 2-all>39 minutes of streaming and obvious routing and safespotting
>>736046613Kill yourself avatarfag
>>736046613kill yourself avatarnigger
>>736046536idk what convinced you that shmupg is well-liked around here, but whatever./v/ and /vg/ have pretty different cultures and usually userbase.

>>736046874don't samefag
>>736046982I don't see any shmup generals on /vr/. Are you implying more than one shmup thread isn't okay, but the 40+ rpg threads in the catalogue are perfectly fine?
>>736047320take your schizo meds
>>736047646I know you don't play shmups, so you wouldn't know, but you'll find it champ.>RPGs out of nowhereLike pottery.
>>736047802Is that okay, yes or no? Because you're not complaining about the 40+ rpg threads made every day, seems a bit biased. I imagine someone sitting at their desk, with 80 tabs open on their computer and their phone out. They weigh over 400lbs and have a neckbeard/pony tail combo. They spend all day bumping their multiple threads about how fallout 3 is GOTHIC ATMOSPHERE KINO off page 10, and frantically lash out at anyone else who dares to make a thread. Am I hitting the mark here? Because when there's nothing else it's hard to see any other targets.
>>736047992No one cares about shmups. People care about RPGs. You don't matter.
>>736048072So you admit you're just mad you have to bump your plethora of threads a little bit faster and share the catalogue with someone else
>>736047992>>736048150i do not know what you're melting down about but i should replay ff6
>>736048252Okay cya
>>736048150I have no idea what you're talking about. If a thread gets bumped off, it gets bumped off. /vr/ isn't a fast board anyway. If your faggot general can't be sustained after like a day of no activity, I don't know what to tell you.
>>736048472>If a thread gets bumped off, it gets bumped offWhy are you upset about more than one shmup thread then?
>>736048584Tell me where I got upset about that. I know I said you don't matter. I know reading comprehension is difficult for you folks.
>>736048674If you're going to be dishonest there's nothing to discuss, now is there?
>>736048584why would you make more than one shmup thread if the main one is already half deadthere's no purpose for it except the same 2 schizos will samefag to each other about it
>>736048727So you can't find it, because it didn't exist.
>>736048853>the main one is already half deadWhat main one? You have yet to point out the supposed general. I see threads on different games for people playing those games. If people want to gravitate to a thread to discuss other shmups there, then that's their own decision.
>>736047992What's more surprising is there's only 40x more RPG fags than shmup fags
>>736048973I don't think so, rpgs are really casual, accessible, and have zero gatekeeping as a result, but there's also nothing to discuss so they become extremely cyclical and full of ritual posts quickly. Like, you know, an actual general.
>>736049064>nothing to discussClearly there is if there's that many active threads about 25+ year old gamesSomeone is jealous as fuck
>>736049164You're the one in here bugging out dood
>>736049189>n-no uKWAB
Keep in mind this guy has been in here sperging out for the last NINETEEN HOURS nonstop making the same exact easily identifiable troll posts. Obviously what's going on in these threads is a lot more interesting than whatever threads he's making.
>>736049064>cyclical and full of ritual posts quicklyYou mean like when someone asks "which game should I play" and gets the same exact answers from the past 10+ years? Or how about when someone posts a clip of a 20+ year old route and pretended like they came up with it? Unlike RPGs, shmups are presumably "pure gameplay" so what else is there to discuss?
>>736049345Tell us where the troll is xir
>>736049372Actually play one and find out. I think you'll be humbled quickly.
>>736048967>still can't find itnigga lol
>>736049490Doesn't take a genius to figure out it's all savestate slop
I scored 770,000 points.I died on level 2.I had never played this game before.
>>736049594I don't even know what that means
>>736050159cool story grok
>>736049729I think the max you can get off stage 1 is a little over 3 mil but a lot of that hinges off full chaining into the final bee and it's hard
>>736050585>3*30
>>736050214lol, I posted in the wrong thread
>>736050874lol
>>736050874Telling.
bros it's 9:40am and I'm depressed and drunk, do you guys want a casualfag to stream a shmup of your choosing?
I don't know what's going on in this thread, but I've been enjoying RayStorm recently. I can't get far at all, but the lock-on mechanic is really fun, the stages are cinematic in a good way and the music is nice. What a good video game.

>arcade>new order>new order+Which is the real mode for Under Defeat?
>>736057159Always the easiest. Savestate through it and say you 1cc'd the hardest mode.
>>736055909This game is very hard
>>736057159Whichever mode you enjoy most. New Order is considerably harder and it's not like it's just a straight upgrade to the arcade version or something, so if you have to ask probably not that.
>>735999620Having the ability to play individual levels is so important in this kind of game. If it's in the game, it's godlike. If I have to save state, bit cringe.
>>736004004It also works the same way finding tech in fighting games works. Some people have a knack for it and can find little exploits through input cancelling or the hitboxes, or something like that. Everyone else has to go to the community's pool of knowledge. The analogy is even more apt because shmups and arcade games in general are intended to be competitive.
>>736059387>it's so hardcore when you test thingslmaocan't be any more pretentious dude
>>736059773NTA but everyone sort of inadvertantly working together by design to pull each other up is kind of cool
>>736059914Pretending like literally every other speedrunning/scoring/challenge/TAS gaming community isn't doing the same thing is ignorant at best and pretentious as fuck at worst
>>736059914aren't jap superniggers known for being cunts and hiding their strategies?
>>736060121That and relying on dude trust me>dude i totally have the DOJ WR>uh no you can't see it, but this random company totally verified it bro
>>736060064This seems like your own projection, no one is saying that
>>736060223Sorry your super special snowflake hardcore community is 20 years behind
>>736060121Not everyone, when I was playing fighting games it was the same, you had to work really hard to get connections with other cultures. If you go back like a decade asagami was actively attempting to communicate with western players in broken English unprompted, like not even super good players, just random dudes uploading to youtube. So it's not fair to say it's all of them.
>>736059773I would say deliberately using no punctuation and clipped sentences to appear more laconic is pretentious, but you're only doing it because you're mad.
>>736060507>crying about punctuationKek holy shit what a faggot
>>736003301For every shmup that features anime characters there's 10 sci-fi shmups with soulless space planes. Shipfags are just eternally butt hurt people would rather play as an actual character instead of a metal piece of shit.
>>736060507>punctuation and clipped sentencesman i remember when autismo retards used grammar as an argument in 2006it was so fucking retarded lmao
>>736060729The shmups I've posted on 4chan have hadA dystopian starfighter with a cybernetic co-pilot loliA military themed futuristic helicopter jetA genderbending psychic soldierA witch that barely uses magic and just hits things with her pet rabbitA necromancer riding a dragon skeletonA WWII era war plane suped up with top secret German technologyA heavily gundam influenced spaceship that shoots homing lasers
Why are you guys so against varied aesthetics? It's like you think you can only ever enjoy one thing
>>736046613>Tranime
>>736046270What does a fair arcade game looks like
>>736061441Those cabinets that are literally just phone games on a big screen obviously
>>736061510Is 2026, you can run any good game on your phone
>>736061510My favorite is Piano Tiles
>>736061601lol
>>735996835ive only 1ccd mushi and daifukkatsu on ez mode
Is the iPhone port a good way to play DOJ?
>>736062124Yes, finger/mouse movement is the most precise movement possible in a shmup.
>>736062124I really like the Deathsmiles port even if I think the button placement could be a bit better, I don't give a shit about cellphone mode despite being the main selling point of it. Haven't tried out the other Cave ports yet.Arcade games are the best type of games you can have on your phone, it's a shame it's all gacha shit now.
>>736061993I think the only way to get good enough to play the cool stuff is to just bite the bullet and jump in
>>736063287No one asked
>>736063287believe it or not some anons don't want to larp about savestating through video games to strangers online
>>736063683You don't want to play cool games?
>>736063825>gray spaceship game is coollol
>>736063973Well yeah, I doubt any sane person has ever said spaceships are not cool
>>736064054>didn't pass 2nd grade reading comprehensionsad
>>736064054Based retard
>>736063973it is very cool we have very interesting mechanics like your score can go up
All games would be improved if the main character was a space ship
>>736064487This you?
>>736064619Name a single game that wouldn't be better
>>736064737Anything with an anime girl.
>>736064737anything
>>736064813Give an example
>>736064832everything
>>736064737Faggot
For me it's Neon Heights
>>736064996sus
>>736059914>NTA but everyone sort of inadvertantly working together by design to pull each other up is kind of coolthis is only cool on week 1 of a new game release, not when it's been 20 years and optimized to perfection by no life autists
>>736064996GET OUT OF MY HEAD
>>736065029and 20 years later they still practice the TLB by starting at stage 1-1
>>736047674go play in psycho traffic
>>736064996Looks gay as fuck
>>736065029Please speak for yourself. Not everyone chases novelty or trends, some people just like playing games that demand learning and dedication to the game. Why are you so bothered by shmup threads, anyway? Did the onimai poster send you on a path of vengenance?
This is honestly unironically a huge improvement
>>736065196Some of us have above room temperature IQ to play the same thing for 30 years
>>736065264Then what do you play?
>>736065206
>>736047992RPG threads aren't 95% the most insufferable faggots known to man. The shitty threads about RPGs are made by one single autist.
>>736065367>RPG threads aren't 95% the most insufferable faggots known to manUhhhhhhh what? I have never seen a good post related to rpgs and I've been here for like 2 decades
>>736065287Recently? Whatever was left unplayed in my Steam libraryJust now? Pokemon randbats with a lad
>>736065459Well then, good for you anon.
>>736065459LMAOOOOOOOO
>>736065459>with a ladmogged everyone itt
You just gotta have fun with it.
>>736065723>another <1 minute savestated clip of poor streaming techniqueAll you're missing is the anime avatar.
