If shmups are such a hardcore genre, why do they all run fine on shitty hardware? Shouldn't they require modern GPUs if they're so complex?
you didn't even try
>>744198291This genre needs very deep story, ultra realistic graphics with godtracing, insane high budget hour long cutscenes, multiple walking talking sections and a open world with tons of ubisoft tower
Stripped panties.
>>744198291That's a REEEEEALLY good question, opie. Hmmmm... Shmupsissies sweating bullets rn reading this.
Oh nyo, two threads again...
I own about 40 physical copies of Shmup games for the Switch. I even own some of the more rare shit like RXN Raijin which was delisted from the Nintendo shop and physical copies go for $400 now. You can ask me anything
>>744198291They are highly optimized by using object pools, DoD, etc. They are basically particle effect demos.
>>744198667what color panties are you wearing
>>744198667Favorite Godzilla movie?
I fucking love the new Tatsujin Extreme demo. Yeah I said it.
>>744198849ntf (this stands for "not that faggot") but biolante obv
>>744198291Caladrius Blaze would be a 10/10 shmup if it wasn't for the stupid fucking fanservice. Who wants to see a fucking jpg flash up on the screen of an anime girl getting progressively undressed as you shoot the boss? Is the implication that your bullets pierce the ship and hit her in just the right way for you to see her pantsu?Also, do yourself a favor and don't look up how old any of the characters in that game are supposed to be. How the fuck that shit got past the censors in a western release is beyond me. It's on the fucking Nintendo e-shop. Fucking Dispatch had to be censored because of Nintendo's guidelines but no one gives a fuck about this title. It honestly would have been better for it if it had a censored western release and all that animu pantsu ****bait got completely cut out. It feels embarrassing having that in your library next to Ikaruga and Crimzon Clover EX because you just got it for the gameplay.
>>744198973you need to be more subtle to be believable
>>744198923https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlyVD6YnQ-I
>>744198973Bait, but also gayest post on the entire board right now.
>>744198973>Also, do yourself a favor and don't look up how old any of the characters in that game are supposed to be.Thanks, purchasing
>>744199026>>744199238>>744199048You guys are fucked. Most of the characters in the game are underage. Look up Iris in the compendium. She's 11.
>>744199335Out of 10!
>>744199335You've already sold me on the game anon no need to keep going
>>744198792I'm not wearing any panties>>744198849I don't know. The last one I watch was that 3 movie anime series on Netflix about Time Dimension King Ghidorah and 1 seething human.
>>744199408>and 1 seething human.Couldn't have summed up his character any better
>>744199408god, that was such a disappointment. I only watched the first movie, although I think I started the second one hoping it wouldn't be as bad but dropped it super early on. I don't think I've ever watched something where I've noticed how out of place the music felt
Which game do I need to clear to have a chance at marrying a tranny?
Thoughts on cancelslop?
>>744199914sorry, I don't pay attention to speedrunners so I wouldn't know. when I see people posting speedrunning troons during awesome games done quick, I can't say I've ever noticed a shmup being played
>>744199914scoring ufo and playing dadshit is required
>>744200016Why are shmups not that popular with speedrun autists? Seems like it would be appealing since they are highly replayable and reward memorization and skill.
>>744198291The final CAVE game still ran at 480p. I'm sure there was stronger hardware by then to run the game.
>>744199971It's fine and I see the appeal, but Iprefer when cancels are more situational rather than a renewable resource. I'm not counting normal bombs of course
>>744198291they are gameplay oriented not graphics wank.
>>744200072don't speedruns typically rely on glitches to skip large sections of the game? that's not really a thing with shmups
>>744200072Shmups are auto scrollers all the way through there's no point in trying to speedrun them. Score attacking however is another story but they're different things
>>744200172I'm reminded there's a shmup where you can milk the same boss for like 20 mins straight, glitching the game graphics after a while. The funny part was that the run is otherwise perfectly normal, but then suddenly the player begins doing that shit, and then keeps progressing normally.
>>744199914Probably zeroranger atm. That's really it. I know people will just say "touhou" for the lulz but that tranny era is over. every now an then a new troon tries to revive it though
why the fuck are they porting this slop instead of SDOJ
>>744200245I see much more of an overlap between people who are into fighting games and shmups than I see an overlap between shmups and 2d side scrollers and all the autism that comes with the metroidvania sub-genre. It's weird.
>>7442002451CC score attack makes sense in shmups.>>744200346SHMUP players enjoy metroidvanias/fighters for execution, regular racing games and platformers are too mild for them.
>>744200336Muchi Muchi Pork is awesome though. I think they should've done Futari before this, anyway. They already have the framework.
>>744200323There we go, I finally found it thanks to /vr/ archive.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlE73Yn8qIAStage 3 is the milk.
>>744200346shmups and fgs come from arcades
>>744200715nigga who's playing in arcades nowadays. You gotta be like 50 years old by now to have grown up with that shit.
>>744200757it's about the culture
>>744200336why do you need a SDOJ port when the patch is out for the EMU and its a full 1:1 arcade port. I mean that's the only reason why you're talking about SDOJ in the first place which implies you already know this and you're still port begging for an inferior version lmao
>>744200843I port begged your mom for an interior version you fucki retardo
>>744198973After playing this game, Steam is recommending me games with the Nudity tag.
>>744198291What devil survivor game is this?
schizo doko?
>>744200918Why are you so mad I spoke the truth? LMAO. Got play SDOJ emu you fucking dumbass or do you really want the Live wire 6 frame delay version that badly?
>>744200336SDOJ is available on the E Shop.
>>744201210yeah with 6 frame delay
>>744198291Cave were such visionaries that they intentionally made many of their arcade shmup titles for underpowered hardware, and then designed the game around all the slowdown that a ton of sprites on-screen at once would incur (i.e. it's 'fair' to make the patterns ball-bustingly difficult if you can route the game to take advantage of a relatively inconsistent & janky "bullet time" effect).
>>744200113The problem is the stronger hardware can't output with as low latency as their custom blitter. Cave hardware running on an arcade monitor has input lag so low it's technically less than a frame. Your GPU based solutions have a swap-chain based setup so you will always be 1 frame no matter how hard you try. Maybe you could get AMD to build you a custom job, but by the end CAVE were running on fumes, they didn't have the cash to design new hardware and had to run out the clock porting to the PGS.
>>744201470sounds based way for developing games, maybe "retrofags" who make fake retro games should do this, base their game development on the limitations on what they are trying to ape by console limitations and get to it.
>*puts runahead frames to 3 in second instance mode*Yeah sorry, I don't care about this input lag discussion
>>744201470it was never a good idea troon-kunit is why every emulation and port of their slop games is ass
You can shill Cave as much as you want but you should know when Raystorm came out every single shmup dev immediately assumed that they were all COOKED lmao. The panicking from shmup devs everywhere at Raystorm is bar far the best thing I learned about in shmup history class
>>744202007>shmup history classWhere can you take shmup history classes?
>>744201749The duality of-Wait, where's the second post calling me out for implicitly *not* being a fan of Cave design? You're not supposed to agree on this, /v/!
>>744202072I just wrote that, its not literal anon.
ZeroRancher or Blue Revolver?
>>744202252NTA but you're right, the sad reality is that Crimzon Clover was made thanks to Raystorm and Crimzon Clover is 10 times better than any CAVE games, sadly
>>744202252I know, but I was hoping you had some sites or vids you can check to learn more about shmup history
>>744202317I much prefer Blue Revolver
be honest, would you?
>>744202606This nigga really goes out of his way to bring up troons somehow. I'm sure you would, given your dedication.
>>744198667https://youtu.be/nDHdgQLztfE
>>744202007sure they manage the utilize 3d graphics before anyone else but I still prefer 2d sprites over 3d graphics

Newfags get out
>>744203575Neither, cool kids play TSS nowadays.

>>744203890It runs flawless on the SW2! I wouldn't recommend it to anyone though
>>744203395>have taste that completely 100% aligns with trannies>IM NOT TRANS IM NOT TRANS I HATE THEM >:(Sounds like denial
>>744204460Sounds like projection.A lot of those people are nerdy/autistic guys who would be alright if they didn't get groomed
>>744204605Dude I have tried watching precure and there's no way you can watch that without wanting to be girl. The focus of the show is like 95% fashion. It's like watching Sakura, the show is mainly about irregular romantic relationships, mostly of the queer variety.>but muh girls!!!! So you're consuming the media because you thought the artwork looked pretty. So you're either a retard or trans. Not many options here.
>>744204959>no way you can watch that without wanting to be girlWhy you keep self-reporting like that
>>744204460they're the type who swear they aren't but they're just waiting for the right troon to approach them with a similar taste in the things they like. that's all it takes.
>>744204959>Dude I have tried watching precure and there's no way you can watch that without wanting to be girl.nta I watched shows like School Rumble and SailorMoon and not once did I ever want to be a girl, that's a you problem.
>>744205096This is what precure fans are really likehttps://youtu.be/eYbbmm3USU4No one is engaging with this series that is not super gay. It's fine but stop complaining about trannies when your behavior is something that places you in direct proximity to large concentrations of women and queers.
>>744205259Like the other anon said:if you are watching this stuff and thinking "I want to be Sakura" instead of "I wish Sakura was my daughter-wife", that's a (you) problem and should come out already.
>>744205259did you pull this up from your playlist
>>744205418He's an expert on the subject, but clearly it's everyone else who wants to be a woman.
>>744205380Why would you watch a 160 episode series for little girls just because you want to fap to the character, that's more deranged than being a tranny
>>744205612Where did those normalfags even come from
Magical girls?
>>744204959>Dude I have tried watching precure and there's no way you can watch that without wanting to be girl.precure is pretty popular with old men in Japan and I can guarantee you that most of them don't have thoughts of trooning out. go to futaba may or 5ch and look up a thread right now if you want confirmationtranny is only a western problem and unfortunately people on here are at the most risk of getting it so any sort of japanese media (niche ones in the west included) will always have some
stream doko?
>>744203042faggot
>>744205891No stream, today it's precure watchalong.I promise you it will improve your shmup skills.
What are my CAVE options if I hate chaining systems (DDP/DOJ, etc) and also don't want to learn a looping game where the clear ends up taking a full hour (Progear, Futanari)? Is it literally just Espgaluga and Deathsmiles as my options or coping with Medal chaining in Ibara or some shit (milking slop, which is worse than chaining slop)? Are there any arranges in any of the ports that are just a single loop, while also removing the chaining?
>>744205949>today it's precure watchalong.which precure are we watching though?
>>744205836This is the show that popularized BL btw, Touya x Yukito is the entire reason it has mainstream attention today
>>744206032>picThat one is fine, I'm behind a few eps either way.
>>744205979Futari doesn't loop, what the hell are you talking about
>>744205836They were popular in the 90s, just like arcade games.
Futari recomp port when?
>>744205870>precure is pretty popular with old men in JapanYeah gay ones
>>744206508Not impossible actually. It's definitely an obvious target after SDOJ.>>744206330Half of the thread wasn't even alive in the 90s.You can tell from the blatant newfaggotry like the post above.
>>744206645I lived through the 90s and the only male friend I had who liked sailor moon described himself as a "bishounen" and was extremely gay. I'm tired of this revisionist history by 2016 tourists.
>>744206757He sounds more straight than you at least. I know guys who had their first awakenings to the senshis.
>>744206973He called himself captain bishie or something online and added sparkles to all of his posts. Let's not try to rewrite reality lol
there are no cute tranny shmup players dont fool yourself. they are all greasy weirdos
>>744207043Wasn't aware reality spins around your faggy anecdotes. Now why are you desperate to prove other people are gay, again?
>>744207136Don't act like this shit wasn't extremely common, on the western end Gaia was entirely shit like this. You're a perversion of how things actually were, it doesn't fit your narrative so you throw it away, so there's a disconnect between you and what reality actually is, and it's likely why you find modern anime so repugnant because you don't understand the old things it is referencing when you likely just grew up with toonami or whatever it's third world equivalent is at best
>>744207134What about the one from Shmup Slam in the coop DOJ?
>>744202317BRDA ez
>>744207284>Don't act like this shit wasn't extremely commonNot around those parts for sure, thank god.> it doesn't fit your narrative so you throw it awayThat's literally what you are doing when ignoring the jap audience and thinking reality is entirely defined by your anecdotes. Nice self-report.>and it's likely why you find modern anime so repugnantIs this another self-report? I don't remember bringing up modern anime at all. Also isn't Meitantei modern enough for you
>>744207558I know the type, where they fetishize a certain art type and pretend to care about garbage like slayers
>>744203806>>744203915>>744203964Could be worse. You could be playing Rival Megagun.

you for giving a shit about score.>>744207913Kill yourself.
>>744207896Tranny>>744207913You can stay queen
>>744207953I don't understand what you're getting so mad about, dude. This is just observable reality. Ask any otaku who's been around the block. Gay shit is extremely common, and getting groomed and being convinced to crossdress is like a rite of passage for anyone who really enjoys anime. Onimai showcased this, where Mahiro gets two kids in an mmo to marry ingame and its celebrated. Maybe if you actually enjoyed quality entertainment, you would understand what I'm saying and stop looking like such an ignorant retard, despite being a newfag. Hope this helps!
>>744198291good optimizatiom
>>744207896Einhander, Refrain, Sektori, Birdcage
>>744207956none of this matters because nobody sane cares about score
>>744207284>you're.hey jew, in English its "your" "you're" stands for "you are" not "yours", learn to English nigga. there's difference between a thick accent and just speaking plain wrong.
>>744207956Here's a secret tip anon:You don't have to play a game in a way you don't like. Especially if you say they are good games otherwise, going to assume you meant the survival gameplay is fine, so get your 1cc, maybe more of them if you want, and be done with it.
>>744207396I'd slam her shmup, if you know what I mean
>>744207956Espgaluda is fucking terrible dude.>have to route entire game in overdrive>may as well just restart if get clipped once because your score is absolutely tanked>most of the score comes from extremely specific areas, mainly boss milking, rather than micro optimizations>both characters feel like ass to control>the stage design is just a straight up copy of DOJ but worse
>>744208098>playing garbage that clearly indicates you started playing shmups yesterday, if at all>It's everyone else that is the problem
>>744208109>>744208160>Try ignoring the chaining slop>Don't have enough resources as a result to bypass the shitty resource check bosses/TLB unless you had a miracle (lucky) run or reroute the entire game resource wise around it
>>744208357It's not black or white dude, do just enough scoring to get your resources/extends.
>>744208340the raped
>>744208247It's almost like most CAVE games are shit and when you bring up their flaws, people will cope by telling you to "just ignore it" when they don't do this for any of the actual shmups they make fun of.
>>744208420Where do the magical girls fit into this?Or does Ran there count as a stand in?
>>744208439Stuff like futari, ketsui, and progear are incredibly good games. It makes zero sense to complain about "cancel slop" then praise espgaluda, which has a cancel bullets on demand button. In futari you have to actually play around the stage and juice it for everything it's worth.
>>744207956Espgaluda and Deathsmiles are bullet cancel slop
>>744208357And why is chaining bad exactly? You don't need to have perfect full stage chain for decent score just do some basic routing
>>744208608the people complaining about x type of gameplay in shmups just don't actually play any game that's worth talking about: they just see a trend and go "aggh nooo not that trend!", they can't handle the fact that they are skill-less shitters.
>>744208679NTA but what happens after you clear the game and want to actually play it for real and being a pixel off for a microsecond costs you 30 million points? So much of your score hinges on full chaining. The bonus for doing it is enormous.
If you're gonna play cancelslop at least go all the way.https://youtu.be/fvDKxe1fCIg?t=95

hi
Remember when the designer himself straight out came and said he didn't intend for players to ever full-chain the stages, yet the retarded CAVE deepthroaters pretended the game was deep and "handcrafted" because you could do so? Just like when they pretended for decades that the shitty slowdown in their games was intentional and not just shitty programming and that's why every port slowly breaks each title even further? >>744208679>And why is chaining bad exactly?It's memo on steroids, which CAVE faggots would make fun of dadshit for, except it's okay. You eventually have to end up restarting entire runs because you were a few frames or pixels of connecting them and your entire run up to that point is basically useless now. Even worse if it's a looping game on top of the chaining shit (DDP). Notice how if you bring any of this up, they'll tell you to "ignore it" or some shit, but they will tear other games apart for it.
>>744209008No anon, what I'm getting at is, if I want to score a game I can set a goal and route to reach that. How this presents itself in ddp and doj is "full chain stage 1 and complete the game", then "full chain stage 1 and 2 and complete the game" and so on and so forth. I don't find that a fun form of progression, personally. There's no "I did these sections correctly and got a lot of points". It's just full chain or go home.
>>744209047Please be my ftm boyfriend
>>744208807least skilled cave hater
>>744208917how did mork react to this?
>>744208594Ran definitely counts as a vidya magical girl.
>>744209217but you don't have to set your goal to full chain the whole game you can just see how many chains can you get and slowly improve on it
>>744208917first GQC event?
>>744209282newfag get out
>>744209293The bonus for full chaining is so enormous that if you don't carry a huge chain into the final bee on a stage you basically get nothing. It's not a satisfying form of progression and its why all of their games after started to break away from it.
https://files.catbox.moe/movdv4.webmDay 1 of learning DDP, managed to chain past 138 after hundred of tries in stage 2, no idea how to chain after that but I'm not going to learn it yet until I can 1cc the gameI still don't know how to do the stage 2 boss consistently without using a bombTime to learn stage 3 I guess
>>744209149>Remember when the designer himself straight out came and said he didn't intend for players to ever full-chain the stagesNo I don't, but I wouldn't be surprised.But many things happen as happy accidents, so it's cool. The entire bullet hell genre happened because somebody fucked up hitbox sizes and decided to just run with it by increasing enemy bullet density to compensate.
>>744209442yeah I wouldn't bother with chaining until you can clear the game
why is cave so much better than touhou?
>>744209772Real non-meme answer is extensive playtesting.
>>744209713I'm only bothering with it on parts that are too easy to make the game more fun to grind, I don't plan to really focus onthat before my first 1cc
>>744209772>>744209840retro games build for limitations of whatever they were doing and obviously clear game design concepts and professionals working on it.
>>744209772Touhou girls are forced to wear bloomers, Reco can go nopanIt's obvious who wins.
DDP Stage 5 raping me hard
>>744209772Presentation+good gameplay Touhou while have good gameplay lacks heavily in hard department Its background and enemy design are extremely mediocre meanwhile cave design looks straight out of some 90s high quality mech anime
>>744210228>Touhou while have good gameplayNah> cave design looks straight out of some 90s high quality mech animeThey have more variety than that.
>>744209772
>>744209442Learn to 1cc whole game firstFirst 3 stages are easy imo but then game rapes you hard and you have to start memorising enemy placement
>>744210228Art department*>>744210301Yea cave later games have great visual variety

I gotted to stage 6 for the first time since i started playing againdied pretty soon after bc i died to bh1 and lost homingrank wasn't too badi like gain, somehow easier to get further than playing as snail with much lower rank. miyamoto is cool but seems gimped by not having flamingos.
>>744213663you should ask our genshin pro for pointers
>>744213823like most shmups it's not actually hard to understand you just gotta learn some basic things like only having 2 options max until stage 6 and not restarting your medal chain and then it's just pure dodging from the tank rape section on
I know who you are. You know what you did. I know you know what I know. It will all be revealed in the google doc.
>>744214382I know this is about me.
>>744214382what the
I know you know you think you know what I think I may know.
Go to shmup wiki and check the video index. Look up the no-miss run for Gain. That whole channel is where all the good routing is, in general. Do not 1:1 copy those routes, but if you're looking for an approachable and optimal way to get past something dangerous it's probably there. Chinopolis' 11mil route also is actually decent for some ideas, and some of Kamui's stuff is actually not that hard to utilize and something I wish I looked at more closely.The dumbest easiest way to squash rank is to just homing set up at the start of stage 5, then suicide and pick up 2 options. You don't really need homing to do the stage but it's harder and unnecessary. Try to at least get 5 mil by the end of stage 5, that will almost guarantee the 7mil extend the final stage. Not a difficult task for gain.

How long does it usually take you to 1cc a game?Do you return to it occasionally to do it again?
Blue Wish Desire tips for a 1CC?
>>744214947Sometimes I do if I am in the mood. Depending on the game a 1cc can be anywhere from 10 hours of play to 25 or so but it's not good to get hung up on the hours. Better to focus on trying to have fun and learn the game. Some games I come back to usually because I like the music or the boss fights, like Darius Gaiden or Strania.

>>744198667WHICH FUCKING TOUHOU CHARACTER IS BOTH A STAGE 6 BOSS AND A STAGE 1 BOSS?THIS TOUHOU GRID IS MAKING ME INSANE GODDAMIT
>>744198291Better "bait" (the best "baits" are just truth nukes people don't want to deal with) for next thread. Why should anyone be impressed with being good at shmups when most "skill" comes from autistic grinding and memorization? Wake me up with this genre actually requires heavy improvisation that can't be learned through sheer save state grinding alone. And no, Rank systems with adaptive difficulty is not enough. I'm talking every level is subtly different every time you play it no matter what you do.
when people say to stop chaining in garegga when you drop a medal, does that include dropping one on stage 2 or can you restart that early in the game? i always get raped at that first big enemy, the tank or the two ships right before the boss
>>744198667Toko stinky
>>744218081yeah you can restart in stage 2 if you want
>>744218076You would love the taito game, Syvalion.Xevious for that matter has random and adaptive enemy AI for that matter.Zanac to a lesser extent.
>>744218068Meira balls

>>744218525meira balls
according to chum, his eosd 1mnb is around 41 on the chart. what are your thoughts on this? how much would an LNN be?
>>744218081>i always get raped at that first big enemyI smack into it rather than suiciding on NL because it's a really lazy way to do it and get the medals. You can probably just straight shot and hit the center and 1 side with how the bullets fan out, kamui does something like that, but regardless it's worth thinking about how to get more out of a suicide than simply lowering rank. The tank you just go to 1 side then ALL the way to his opposite side (to avoid getting clipped) then sit on top of him to seal him, works every time and won't produce medals at a bad time.
>>744218275Notice how it's only unc games that were ballsy enough to do things like this. I guess bullet hell devs collectively decided that the spam would be too difficult to manage if it was anything other than Simon Says. Well, I personally just find that kind of game design to be extremely uninteresting. Just fucking join an orchestra and practice a music piece instead of larping with this dumb genre.
>>744219021Old devs loves the idea of "you against an evolving computer opponent" concept, though the idea of pattern memorization was equally popular, more so after the success of R-Type I'd bet.
>>744219021The issue is those games are really easy and boring. Blackheart is significantly more random than anything in those games, and the reason he is so memorable is because he was designed to simulate a player ship duel. He moves unpredictably, uses attacks similiar to what a player ship can do, and even has a tiny player ship hitbox at the center of his ship while being otherwise invulnerable. It's a unique element to that fight and the RNG serves a specific purpose, rather than just being "fuck level design and shit, just randomly generate it all"
>>744218076>Wake me up with this genre actually requires heavy improvisation that can't be learned through sheer save state grinding alone>I'm talking every level is subtly different every time you play it no matter what you do.try scoring touhou pofv or podd
>>744218584Wild that there isn't a single lunatic clear that's remotely comparable in difficulty to an intermediate level arcade game, and most are in fact easier than some games frequently recommended to beginners. It's pretty grim that the touhoh community encourages people to play normal and shit
>>744218076You're talking about injecting randomness into a shmup, but any shmup autist would go into meltdown if anyone suggested that. Like it or not, the entire point of the genre is to memorize and execute, at least in danmaku-style games (which is the only style left at this point). If you want arcade games that rely more on emergent gameplay, you're better off playing beat 'em ups and fighting games.

I think I feel confident to start my day 2 of DDP, after training a bit yesterday I can see a path to 1cc the game with how many bombs you are given but I spend too much time learning how to chain even after being told I shouldn't because it's too fun to learn
>>744250365>I can see a path to 1cc the game with how many bombs you are given but I spend too much time learning how to chain even after being told I shouldn't because it's too fun to learnYou don't have to speedrun the 1cc you know.
>>744211047>>744210830think i was just playing on normal difficulty in level select. Gunbird has literal monkey/baby mode. Can't get much easier then that. I'll go back to it eventually I'm just kind of playing for fun right now and Gunbird has a cute witch in it.
>>744250605I know! But after posting how I managed to finally chain stage 2 past 140 hits I was told twice to stop scoring until I 1cc but I don't think I can do that, it's too fun to learnI'll probably the slowest DDP 1cc in the world and I'm fine with that
>>744250656>I was told twice to stop scoring until I 1cc but I don't think I can do that, it's too fun to learnI'd say you keep doing that instead. Journey is more important than the destination and all of that
>>744250707I'll keep at it, but I feel like such a retard playing this game, it feels like my first shmup despite having a few 1cc before
Game TengokuSpeaking of slow progress, now I can get to stage 5 without dying on a good day. 1cc closing in, because I already "routed" stage 5 as the designated resource dumping stage(although I can do the invaders section without dying/bombing too on a good day), and I still have more for the easier stage 6 either way. Once I acquire enough consistency I'm probably getting it.
Is getting my ass raped in Ninja Gaiden (NES) a good way to mentally prepare for this genre? Cuz that's what I've been doing lately.
>>744251151Which shmup do you want to play
>>744251151Yes because you still have to route NG, but a shmup would prepare you for shmups better.
>>744251197IDK. I have like 40 different ones downloaded. >>744251218>a shmup would be betterI have to ease myself into this autism. I have to practice not being shit at games somehow and I figured a notoriously hard action platformer would be a good stepping stone in getting better. I want to make Mork and anons in these threads proud...But idk if I'm genetically capable.
>>744251490Is this a new shitpost
>>744248819Still, the fact that the WR is hidden, and the only proof is "dude trust me" twin galaxies tier, says it all that the scores in these games aren't worth caring about
>>744251585I know it might sound silly, but I'm being 100% for real. I have always been horrible at games and used cheese and RPG elements to squeeze out Ws. I want to stop being shit at games and earn your approval.
>>744251601I don't think that should determine whether you want to score or not. Most people aren't going to run for a WR, and in an actual arcade you would only care about the local leaderboard.
Anything without video proof is not real and shouldn't be counted for anything. Shmups and Cave in particular needed to switch to PC gaming with an online automated replay system viewable by everyoneNot on the replay list? Not real
>>744251490shmups are the most simple genre to get into just dodge the bullets and when you don't know how look at a replay and copy it
>>744252024Yeah but that's not how it works in Japan. They will just believe it if you are a "trusted player".
>>744251601Go fly to that game center ask the operator for the replay video, I'm sure they will allow you to watch it there. Don't forget to set up a hidden camera.
>>744252604Huh? What's wrong with wanting proof for such a vast claim?
>>744251710The most important thing to get rid of is content progression mindset if you get into these games. The vast majority of RPGs are about completing a save file so when you play them and you're not ending your session by finishing a quest or finding better equipment for your character or you haven't done one of the other plethora of items you can track on a checklist you feel like you've wasted your time. In arcade shmups and other arcade style games if you credit spam your way through the entire game to see "all the content the game has to offer" you're never going to make it because they're not content dense in the sense that RPG are. It's okay to be stuck in a stage that you can't clear yet on 1cc and just play that over and over until you get good enough at the game to make it. That's the content of those games. Same applies to Ninja Gaiden if you want to start with that. There are games that I've cleared already that I can still get back to and be entertained by because I feel shaky enough in my skills that I still see plenty of room for improvement. A content progression mindset player would never do that because they've already extracted everything novel to them out of the game.
Ikaruga or dodonpachi Which is harder to 1cc?
The biggest cheaters are always the best players who feel like they grinded enough and they "deserve" that WR/perfect run. Any WR that looks sketchy or that doesn't have video proof publicly out there is a potential fake that shouldn't be cared for.
>>744252024This. We need game audio, live replays, and controller inputs via program or camera.
>>744252914Ikaruga because the first loop is longer. But they aren't survival games and more about scoring.
>it's a ridiculous requirement to have proof for a claimOh ok, in that case I have the SDOJ WR and Inbachi NMNBNo you can't have proof
>>744252972I have the WR for SDJO actually, I found a glitch that allowed me to gain more score than you. You want to know what I did? Sorry no video proof and I will not share my secrets for 20 years at least because I am totally not afraid of healthy competition and I totally don't want people to see how good I am at the game so I will never release the footage
>>744252972it's a privilege for the inner circle not a pleb like you
>>744253036I completely agree, that's why I have the WR, and you don't and you don't get to see
>>744253021I KNEEL
>It was rediscovered in March of 2015 by the player KTL-NAL and its usage for scoring runs was considered as it was found how to replicate it consistently. The conditions behind the glitch were kept secret, only shared between a very small circle of players.Explain to me how Japanese players have human rights again?
>>744252925I think we can at least agree that if you reached the point you'd consider cheating because you "deserve it", you are the one playing the game wrong at the end of the day.
>>744253120Who is going to disagree with that? My point is that top players are the most likely to cheat, so not having video game footage being released is retarded, and I would even agree with this sarcastic post >>744252934Every competitive replay games, speedrun etc have better anti-cheat practices than shmup players and people should stop deepthroating CAVE so much and insult them until they release their games on PC with proper anti cheat replay systems, for their entire library.
If a fighting game player was parading around claiming they're the best in the world, then you'd ask for matches and or proof. If they don't provide it, they're marked as a clown. Yet in shmups, you can just you have the WR because uhhh dude I do :)
>>744253059it only works if other top players give you the approval
>>744253230Time to settle it like real shmuppers.in TSS
>>744253291I have never played TSS, how do I set it up to fight you?

>>744253290They did, no you can't see their proof either, just trust me
>>744252679Nigga, the proof is already there, you only have to approach those people.

I'm so fucking mad that I missed the steam sale for shmups cause I want to play one so bad right nowThe only one that is affordable and on sale is Gradius Origins, is the collection good or should i just MAME 'em?
>>744253590Collection is fine, but I'd consider the PSP ones too, there are more games in it and there are more collections(Gradius, Salamander and Parodius).Not as fancy, but you have all you need.
Funny that fighting games were mentioned. Along with shooters, they're probably the biggest Stockholm syndrome genres, where players accept being treated like trash and even defend it forever, which leads to a lack of QoL, acceptable ports, and so on.People really believe arcade games can't be ported correctly on PC because of some tech magic or something, and not because devs are incompetent, lazy and too greedy to ask a proper porting studio to the job for them.
>>744253658*Origins collection is fineEither way the PSP ones don't get posted enough. They also have gaiden
>>744253773WHAT THE
>>744253801>he didn't know about the funny gaiden boss
>>744253676I finally left the fighting game death cult at Mashen 8 and Slime fighter after taking it semi seriously since Mortal Kombat 9 in 2009 or whatever. The only game worth investing in to scratch that itch is melee (not a traditional fighter, I know) because it's actually an organic community that has stood the test of time.
>>744253676While I agree, that's why you just play a good older game and forgo the future of the genreI only play Xrd, CF and random fightcade shit
>>744254050I only play random fightcade shit too, I'm never going to let a necrophilic studio treat me like a cattle with battle passes, auto combo and 2 seconds hitstun
>>744251490>I want to make CO and anons in these threads proud...Ftfy
Someone streamThe last time I tried to, it didn't work
>>744254523I'm streaming in a minute but I'm not posting it here because I'm a shitter sorry
>>744254887Just post it, people who actually watch the streams are nice and friendlyI streamed Shinobi PS2 a few times for /v/, and despite being an utter shitter, everyone was pretty friendly
>>744198291>>744198479>He wants movie slop schmupBegone Kojimbus
>>744254947FR?
Is there any benefit from using A-S in DDP over A-L? I find the shots cooler than the laser but I fear that it has no advantage over A-L
>>744255039Not really. DOJ had to come up with a way to make Shot type more useful by reducing bombs for -L and -EX. And no one wants to play with Shotia still.It finally got gud in SDOJ but I'm not sure it was even intentional, because A-S shot somehow does the same damage as the laser.
>>744255129Why is there a 700M player who mains A-S then? Does he only do it for fun?
>>744255242>Does he only do it for fun?Basically. There are also some japs doing it in DOJ
>>744255257Ty for the help/info
>>744199335>>744198973It's funny how you didn't quote that another anon quoting you about purchasing the Steam key. But even then, judging by the looks of it, I think it's done by that Devil Survivor guy.Which makes sense because there was an underage ecchi scene in Devil Survivor 2 that no one really talks about: https://youtu.be/jxSoSHJ3AG0?si=_bKzbY-0B2DjsVzI
>oh my heckin BASEDENCE is that a heckin underage pantyshot>this is NOT ok japan...
>>744254919>streamed Shinobi PS2Oh wow I remember that. Fuck, these threads really do have small but dedicated regulars.
