Then you don't like it, it's that simple. And this isn't limited to shmups. Games are not interactive experiences, they are designed to be won. Perhaps you don't like video games as much as you think you do.

It's not very interesting to have a discussion where it's

>>737570306
Probably because routing is exponentially more complex than flow charting, perchance.

Most shmupfags don't actually enjoy shmups, it's just the next thing after being a soulsfag after souls got too popular. You play "hard" game, wow.

>>737573785
When you 1cc a game you're dissecting and learning how it works. If you truly like a game a 1cc is inevitable. Challenge is a part of games and if you're trying to shame people for confronting obstacles you probably don't like games very much.

Start with Perfect Cherry Blossom (7). Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil (6) has growing pains since it was the first in the Windows series and lacks a lot of the mechanics that are standard starting at Perfect Cherry Blossom and beyond. Said more simply, it feels really fucking clunky compared to later games in the series. You can still start with EoSD if you want, but I'd recommend starting with PCB since it has the "correct" gamefeel before the shift in UFO (12).

>>737574363
I disagree with this. How long do you think it takes to like.... 1-all a CAVE game? It's like 30 hours. Like I know you've got dudes like aktane who spend 120 hours to beat ddp, but this dude literally does not play and actively avoids getting better. People who whine about 1ccs fall into that type of profile. People will sink 1000 hours into a roguelite deckbuilder then whine about playing a shmup for 30 hours.

>>737574626
30 hours in a shmup is equal to 300 hours in any other game. The intensity is so much higher. Most people can't even stand a few minutes let alone a gaming session.
>>
>>737574724
Sadge but fair enough.

>>737573751
Are you trying to say SF64 is not a stone cold classic or that it's not a shmup?

Either way you're a fucking retard.

>>737573585
Posers and larpers blindly hate Sine Mora. They bitch about how it's not a shitty CAVE carbon copy failing to understand it draws inspiration from classic shmups (which they don't play because they are secondaries)

>>737574775
Nah, this is not remotely true, as someone with more clears than anyone ITT with 50+ no-miss clears including well over a dozen multi-loop no-miss clears, shmups are the single most braindead, autistic, repetitive, and soul-crushingly boring genre out there

if you care about trying the extra stage you can download the scorefile with everything unlocked here

>>
>>737573946
When you 1cc a game you were just playing the game you enjoy until you got good enough to beat it without dying. Beating a game is secondary to enjoying a game. This is inconceivable to your average comp troon who looks up every detail of a game online and "practices". Some games do take a long time to beat when you aren't a faggot that looks up spoilers.

This is wrong. Roguelites are about memorizing a flow chart. By necessity, a flow chart will always be exponentially less demanding than a route. People sink time into roguelites because they are less demanding and full of mundane tasks.

Jokes aside though, saying something like that wouldn't make anon's argument any better.
Fuck did you waste your time getting 50 no miss clears, not even regular 1ccs, in a genre you supposedly hate? Either of those things is necessarily false, because somebody who doesn't enjoy shmups isn't even going to conceive 1cc, let alone attempt it no miss, and let alone do this in 50 different games.

It's not, it's one of the only modern shmups that feels like an elevation of classic shmup design instead of just blindly copying bulletslop. The time system is really unique and encourages aggressive play, the scoring system is surprisingly deep, the game feels great to control with true analog control (digital also works fine too if you prefer), it strikes the perfect balance between memo and on-the-fly reaction to dynamic semi-random patterns, it utilizes environment extensively instead of just being a shooting gallery over essentially background art, and the bossfights are extremely fun, unique, and memorable.

You literally only hate it because the CAVEslop poser clique blindly hates it.

Basically every single thing that posers bitch about are classic shmups mechanics and design that make it appealing.

They usually don't play like arcade shmups. They usually have more than one of the follwing aspects:
>widescreen in a vertical shmup
>extremely easy compared to arcade games and they don't encourage you to improve your skills
>little to no scoring mechanics
>mouse controls
>health bars
>shields
>screen shaking effects
>western developer
>story/cutscenes between stages
>big hitboxes, usually 1:1 of the ship sprite
>linear shot, really makes you feel underpowered all the time
>slow speed
>upgrades between stages (not to be confused with shop system like the one you find in Fantasy Zone and Trouble Witches)
>bland space or military setting

>>737577660
It's a catch all term for "shmups made by people that don't like or understand why people play shmups". They just get a bunch of things wrong outside of the surface level aspects like "be a guy shooting bullets at things on screen that shoot bullets at you"

Those are shmups in the style of Tyrian2000 or Jets n' Guns. The bullet density in those games are typically relatively low compared to CAVE/Touhou-style shoot-em-ups, you're able to upgrade your ships as you progress, and they also typically have shield/health systems rather than being 1HKOs. They don't need to have all of those traits, but they'll typically have one or two of them at least.

Danmaku/Bullet Hell are designed for arcades. Euroshmups are not.

You're saying "shmup" when it sounds like you mean to say "bullet hell." "Shmup" is just a shorthand for shoot-em-up that covers a very broad number of subgenres, including bullet hells and what people have taken to calling euroshmups. Bullet hell are shmups, but shmups are not necessarily bullet hell.

Okay then, I don't know where "you have no fucking clue how to play a shmup" comes from though. Flying Shark just looks like a very casual shoot-em-up where the brunt of the difficulty stems from the fact that the bullets the enemies shoot blend into the background very easily.

I recently picked up Sonic Wings Reunion and R-Type Delta.
I’ve seen a lot of people criticizing Sonic Wings Reunion, but I think few people remember just how bad the original Sonic Wings was toward the end, the game would just throw you into situations that were impossible to solve without a lot of trial and error
The faggots who accuse shooters of being bad because of memorization would be right if they were all like Sonic Wings...

Considering all that... I doubt the new Sonic Wings is worse than the old ones.
>>
>>737579185
Will never not be funny how people who aren't into shmups, or only played danmaku before, think the classic style was meant to be any more "casual".
Actual reality is the opposite unless you are using extremes as a metric: danmaku was always the more "fair" variant that requires more pattern recognition than raw memo, since in the latter you will usually die from one aimed bullet fired at max speed before you could even react, or an enemy formation that moves in a certain way.

I have listed 3 really good shmups already (Hydorah, Tyrian2000, and Jets n' Guns) and can fire off many more off the top of my head. Cho Ren Sha 68k, GUXT by Studio Pixel, the touhou and len'en series, and I'm pretty sure this one is reaching but MiG 29 Soviet Fighter was one of my favorite games when I was growing up (my family only owned an NES until the year 2000 so I played that one a lot)

I'm just calling it as I see it. Flying Shark looks like a very casual and easy game, where the only source of difficulty is bullet visibility. It doesn't matter how fast the game is or how dense the bullets are if you can't see them.

In Video System/Psikyo case, the devs aren't even bothering to hide it.

In basically any game you react to patterns unless everything is random, though I guess in fightans or PvP in general the "random" element is what kind of behavior your opponent has.
As a rule though, the more you approach optimal play, the more it becomes "memorization", even in PvP because players will generally try to go for the known best moves, a beginner or intermediate player is a lot more likely to improvise.

Also yea, that's why I wouldn't recommend it to somebody trying to get into the genre, or CAVE games specifically. It's a game with a lot of mechanics and modes, when you probably are still trying to think about how to effectively switch between the spread shot and the laser, for instance.

I actually realized this is the optimal angle after a while.
Whenever I play on laptop for instance, I open the monitor inclined like that, it does something to your depth perception that makes it easier to see both what's coming up from above more easily, and how much space you have below.

Most top players are pad or stick players.

Leverless is basically just a straight objective upgrade to keyboard tho

Why do Cavege always punish you so hard for bombing? Its a genuine mechanic and some ships like our wife Shootia are specialised to bomb but they fuck you over for score, loops, and sometimes even survival by using them.

I prop it up for its gameplay, ost, graphics and its distinct lack of touhou faggotry. Not many people saw the credits where Booby Master was credited for making this game.
>>
>>737581945
Leverless controllers don't feel natural to play at all which I think is a genuine negative. With a keyboard at least it feels intuitive, and you can even emulate the leverless experience by using say wa-spacebar-d. Also leverless doesn't transfer over to any other game genre other than fighting games which are also skill gate games.

Ikeda said something about how a real man wouldn't even keep his finger anywhere near the bomb button.

In the OG DOJ especially it's weird though, because Shotia is definitely the most uncomfortable way to play it.
Took until BL to make her feel like more of the "default" choice for people who are there to beat survival runs without being too ambitious about score.

Seems a shit take to me... And if you didn't want people to be hovering over the bomb button then why not have a more generous deathbomb window? Bombing shouldn't be shamed when it's a way for the average player to get through your already objectively difficult game.

He doesn't even follow his own criteria. Says he won't put Space Invaders because the gameplay doesn't hold up but puts Xevious. Xevious is awful.
Says he wants to identify influential shmups. No Gradius. No Touhou. No diversity in types. No Fantasy Zone style. No Space Harrier style. No PVP.
Talks about creativity, zero actually thematically creative games.

>>737583418

Explain to me what I'm looking at and why it is so valuable. All I know is it's dodonpachi
>>
>>737575585
Depends on the game. If you play shit like isaac, you memo the layout of the rooms and items so you turn the game into a resource management with no time pressure of any kind, with the final goal of raping every room and making the game dull.
>>
>>737569102
Agreed. I don't know what it is about it. I'm not even a hardcore shmooper and i barely get the references. It's just a really good game.
>>
>>737583450
So it’s like getting a blowjob from a transvestite at a nightclub where the dim lighting makes it impossible to tell him apart from a real woman.
>>
>>737583320
It's certainly a narrow view of bombing as a crutch.
If you want a more fun take, try Batrider. Bombing is a scoring tool to break stage parts and reveal hidden medals, and destroying stuff with bombs in general gives you more than using your shot

>>737583673
shmupmame is outdated because it's using an older laggy version of mame. Use the latest groovymame branch (or gourmame) because they changed how the vsync and audio driver is handled and there is significantly less lag compared to any other arcade emu at the moment.
