Why do Shmup players choose their pain? At least with fighting games if you get past the thousands of hours of labing, knowledge checks and are capable of consistently performing at a high level and are genetically blessed with a good enough reaction speed as well as the ability to not collapse under massive pressure you can at least win tournament money and get recognition from a large community who are willing to watch you play the game live. Shmupfers (Shmup fuckers) have to go through all the same shit for their 1cc clears but no one gives a shit.

Shmups are among the simplest genres out there. The range of actual knowledge and techniques you need to develop is so small that you can learn everything in a single day, compared to years of something like a flight or racing simulator.
If the basics can be learned in a single day, then that means shmups are easy, right? No, they're hard, just as hard as trying to throw a small ball into a trash can while blindfolded. That doesn't mean you have to be particularly smart or talented to get good at them, though, and that's why the genre attracts so many weirdos.
The shmup fanbase is among the worst of all, second only, probably, to trannies and speedrunners.
>>
>>744407475
Flying around and shooting things is fun.
Shmup is one of the only genres where what you see is what you get.
Where you spend 100% of the game doing exactly what's advertised on the surface instead of the filler activities inevitable for other genres.
No need to do fetch quests for annoying NPCs or backtrack across the map 50 times or solve bullshit puzzles where you have to activate some generator or do any other chores.
You just fly, shoot, and dodge.
The trade-off is that what you do get is difficult, but it would get pretty boring otherwise.

If we view competitive video games as e-sports, how do shmups and speedrunning differ from activities like golfing and bowling? There are far more solo sports than team sports.
Track and Field
Swimming
Bodybuilding
Cycling
Boating
Figure Skating
Rock Climbing
Shooting
etc.

It shouldn't be hard to understand a digital extension of that.

Caladrius Blaze. The fanservice gimmick of the game is that your character and boss enemies have their character portraits undressed the more damage you do to their ship. It would be amazing if it wasn't for the fact that like 80% of the cast are minors and it's just fucking weird. I looked it up on the wiki for Iris. She's 11. The fuck.

I have to attempt to tie this devil blade route together. Will be the second highest score in the west by like 10 million points, hopefully. Technically I already have that position but I've only completed like 3/4 of the route. Not very impressive since this isn't exactly a popular game to score, but it's a fun (and stressful) experiment nonetheless.

Truxton Extreme is proof that shooters will never be even moderately popular again. The game solves all the problems that normalfags have with arcade games, but even so, it has zero market penetration (it has only 19 reviews on Steam 24 hours after release).
Some features of the game:
>extremely polished 3D graphics, which is rare in shmups
>a long story mode with 3 characters, featuring high-quality illustrations and an interesting story
>a difficulty level accessible to casual players, but with enough scoring depth for good players
>full-screen 16:9 action (finely tuned for perfect gameplay)
>a relatively long single-loop arcade mode (casual players hate games that end in half an hour)
>it's not a bullet hell
In other words, it's a really good game that has everything to appeal to people who aren't fans of the arcade style, but guess what... Nobody gave a shit about the game.

And before Mark's pretentious followers start shitposting here like the faggots that they are, here's a positive review of the game from a skilled player:

You would only really attract a few Tatsujin fans otherwise.

I play shmups because they’re meditative for me. Especially dodge ‘em up bullet hell games. They’re absolutely one of the best type of games for inducing a mental flow state. The memorization and repetition aspect while still demanding focus makes them very relaxing. I also like fighting games, but that’s an entirely different head space and definitely isn’t relaxing for me.

Like I said, the faggots who follow these pathetic figures like Mark, Boghog, and that whole troupe of clowns who confuse rationalization with criticism don’t understand SHIT about game design, and they’ll find ways to try to discredit a game that is proof that shmups will never be even remotely relevant.
The game uses a combo system for items that multiplies the points they grant by up to 10x. However, the actual maximum is 12x, you just don’t get access to the 12x multiplier until you’ve unlocked the game’s two extra weapons (progression, something casual players love in their games).
There's a reason for this: the game isn't exactly the same when you haven't unlocked the two extra weapons. If the game started with a 12x multiplier but a smaller range of weapons, then someone could develop an optimized score strategy for 12x/5 weapons. That would lead to the worst-case scenario, where people would keep resetting their progress every time they played, which is ridiculous.
The "ideal" solution would be to remove progression entirely, but as I said, this game is clearly an effort to bring shoot'em ups back to a wider audience. And anyone who's serious about getting a high score will have to play at least long enough to unlock the two extra weapons as well, so it's not as if it makes any practical difference.

You won't hear any of these fags (Boghog, Mark) say anything like that, because they don’t know SHIT about video games.
>>
>>744415745
Crimzon Clover solved progression by giving a reasonable amount of 1up extends just from scoring well during your run. Most games just give you a stage 3 extend and call it a day.

That reminds me of something I've been wondering for a while. Are there any actually decent mobile shmups?

See dude, this is why you fucking suck. You're not interested in discussing the games you play, getting help to learn them, posting anything insightful. You just want a participation trophy for doing the bare minimum and actually playing the game. And worse, you've amassed a gang of retards who circlejerk you because you facilitate the general state they so desire. This is a fucking disaster, and I can't believe you don't feel guilty for running the thread into the ground.

video game genres are all bullshit. I'm sure you already knew that, how many times have you seen a game advertised as "adventure" or "action", fucking useless. this game is evidence that even very specific genres like "shoot-em-ups" are actually a hodgepodge of different types of games. the problem is that genres are defined by some surface level aspect, such as "an autoscroller where you control a character and shoot waves of enemies", not ever considering the core intentions of the game design, which could be "memorizing patterns, shooting and dodging in a 2d plane" or "idk watching all the explosions while wildly flailing around and then you get to buy some wacky new gun with the money you collected"

this game has more in common with those old "desktop destroyer" stress relief "games" than with other "shmups"
>>
>>744428948
I think the meme comes from the fact that zer0ranger and undertale both have semi-hidden alternate game progression paths with tons of lore and a different ending and both use meta-game 4th wall breaking sort of stuff for it
>>
How many times should I practice a route/section on a stage before I consider it "ready"?

I currently have a "if I can do a section 9 out of 10 times in a row on average (with whatever resource usage for the route) without messing it up, it's run ready" rule.

So if I do 9/10 full stage 2 runs in a row, I move on, do a few runs of both Stage 1 and Stage 2 to make sure the routing works in a full run (accounting for rank changes and stuff) AND then move on to starting Stage 3 routing (section by section).

Section is misleading, because if a stage has 10 sections, and they all have a 10% failure rate, and there's 5 stages, well, obviously that run is not going to clear. This would on average be 5 deaths per run, if you don't have any deaths planned.

Why should I care if a genre is niche. We have a few hundred great Shmups over the last 30 or so years. I'm happy to get a retro game like Truxton Extreme or R-Type Final. Hopefully M2 will convince Konami to let them make Gradius VI, or at least get them to do an HD Remaster of V because damn that game still looks great for being on the PS2.

I'd say the zeroranger route is the simplest way. Make actual 1ccs optional and make trying and losing repeatedly both a narrative and gameplay design feature

"if you're "suddenly" forgetting parts of your routing in an actual run and miss because of it that means you didn't practice each section individually enough on its own and were just trying to vibe clear the game as fast as possible"

Is this true?

No, there's many other reasons why you can forget parts: stress, fatigue, focusing too much on other sections, external factors breaking your concentration (noise, heat ...)

Finally back at Game Tengoku after not playing for a few days.
Need to get more consistent at stage 4 planes even if I definitely figured out the route, and sometimes I still fuck up the midboss and boss 2nd pattern. Maybe I should just bomb them.
Feels like I'm consistent enough at most parts of stage 5, even if the plan is there is bomba as soon I see a crowd of 8-bit enemies or the dots section. Still can't pull off the no-bomb boss strat, but I have enough resources either way.
Stage 6 I need to remember to not shoot much if I don't want to hit those enemies firing revenge bullets.

Or I could just wait for a good day where I somehow do everything right, been a while since I tried to route without states.

Okay I have to check how to do stage 5 triple hangar section as A-L and without bombing, I just can't comprehend it at all
There must be something I'm missing
>>
>>744453240
That section is just really harsh. You will get trapped very easily without a wide shot or knowing how to manip enemy movement. Probably easier to keep your bombs for it with type A
>>
>>744453351
Since my ultimate goal is to be able to No Miss loop 1 before I start training for the second loop then I must learn it right now... So far from the 2 1cc videos I saw with A-L they just die and then spam bomb the whole section
I could understand stage 6 even if I haven't routed it properly yet but this section in stage 5 really seems like the hardest one in the entire game by far
>>
>>744453447
That part is the hardest in the game, especially with A. Much easier to learn literally anything else.

This is the only video I found where they don't bomb through all of it and it looks like I need to do less U movements huh, maybe I was too focused on trying to kill the tanks in the middle
>>
>>744453802
Haven't played in a long while, but I remember the solution was figuring out how to make those hovering enemies move where you want. Enemies in the center aren't the biggest threat.
>>
Oh I think I got it, I'm already more consistent with it now
>>
>>744453912
They seem to be an issue if I let them shoot, but now I get the strategy
Stay in a corner, wait for a blue tank to come, swipe mid stutter a micro frame and go to the next corner, wait for the next tank, repeat
And when a hangar is there I have to bait them into shooting left or right before I do anything else and repeat the process twice until I get to the big hangar
I see how to do it with no bombs now, but doing it consistently.... That's another question....

This part is actually SUPER fun to do now that I know the trick, I need to figure out the right path before going for a tank each time, it's really fun

the point is you're buying time, the bullets linger too long and get messy. you're pretty much expected to bomb here. when you hug the wall and stream down, you're buying time for an opening to appear. if you pull down and dont see an opening, bomb and start the process over. using 1 bomb there is perfect, nothing wrong with using 2.

Are restreaming and cutbacks part of the same thing basically? I'm probably doing them already, but I'm still confused which is which and I'm seeing them used interchangably? You tap dodge slowly away from a stream of aimed bullets, then unfocus and do a fast movement a bit quickly to create a gap (since the stagger aimed shots will lock onto that new position) and then move through that gap that created, right?

They didn't. In America, cabs would get vandalized (intentionally or unintentionally) and be out of service for months. Not to mention Cave hardly had any presence in the US. The only bullet hell shmup cabs I've ever seen here were for Raiden.

False. You only have to do that hundred hour grind once. The knowledge you have from that game will transfer over to every single game just like your fighting games. What we call this is.... fundamentals. Fundamental can be abused so long as its the same genre you have invested time and dedication in. For example, Soulsfags have

Dark Souls
Dark Souls 2
Dark Souls 3
BloodBorne
Elder Ring
Sekiro
.
.
.
Wochang Fallen Feathers
Kazan
AI Limit
Code Vien 1
Code Vein 2
Lords of the Fallen
Lords of the Fallen 2
Nioh 1
Nioh 2
Nioh 3
Wolong 1
Wolong 2

See... once you have spent enough time in the first few games you gain the fundamentals to quickly adapt and understand all the other games. In fact if you good enough you see past the game and straight into the 1s and 0s - matrix code

>inb4 completely missing the point and some dumbass argue about "soulslop" which I dont care about since I have never played any of these games beside the anime ones and Nioh

4 takes a bit of learning but is otherwise pretty easy, watch out for the green beetles especially. I mainly play 1.5 so it may be easier or harder there. 5 is the final stage so it's hard but also perfectly doable, it doesn't pull an Espgaluda on you or anything like that

So let me get this straight: its bad when I post gameplay because I'm not a superplayer master and I make mistakes sometimes, but when I actively try and get an impressive score, I'm still shit on and mocked while some guy's unremarkable Mushi original 1-ALL gets circlejerked? This is so unfair. Nothing I do pleases you assholes. Just admit that your grudge against me has nothing to do with video games, you're just mad I called you out and you're gunna torment me regardless. I am honestly sickened by the dishonest clique-mentality on display here. No gameplay allowed. Just blabbing about nothing until the bump limit, because all you care about is taking up space

>>
>>744475092
No, not really. I just play the games, post gameplay, help when I'm needed, and don't suffer fools lightly. It seems that particular mix of traits paints a big red target on my back, because these retards are constantly frothing at the mouth about me, looking for any tiny reason to tear me down. That's why everyone else can play as poorly and as little as they please, but when I post anything less than a WR, suddenly its a problem. Don't believe me, just refer back to
>>744472561
Like congratz on the clear I guess, but understand it really isn't anything special. In fact it kind of sucks complete ass. Meanwhile I posted my Mushi original clear
https://youtu.be/6bS1TAs72js
from back when I was getting really into shmups and learning the ropes. The trolls descended upon it like a Spartan army, review bombing it, insulting it, in just in general trying to degrade me. Obviously this score (that I outright acknowledge was pretty bad in its own right) is better than that Anon's. So where's the hate for them? Where's the legions of angry shitters trying to tell them to give up and join the 41%? The answer is fairly obvious if you have a >50 IQ. It has nothing to do with skill level. You all just have some weird personal beef with me for reasons I can only conjecture. I've been made a scapegoat by bad faith actors and tourists who despise shmups and want shmup players to be miserable. The wave of hate against me has nothing to do with my thoughts or actions.

On the main menu of DDP, does it change anything if you change the ranking from normal to very hard or something else? I don't even feel the ranking in this game except when I die and I see the enemies shoot less often for about 30 seconds and then it goes back to "normal" difficulty
>>
>>744475829
I guess it will only max out the rank a little earlier.

Well, I'm happy you are obsessed with me enough to both copy my exact score AND get a better one, but I do think it's weird you spend so much time seething over and imitating a simple shmup player such as myself. Work on getting your own life in order before trying to live someone else's.

You know the reason I don't get nervous when I go for clears is that I know I'll be hated no matter what. I could get a world record and you'd shit your pants and smear feces all over the walls and say I'm trash. I remember Gus saying something along the lines that none of this matters and to just focus on your own goals. Imagine being worried about gaining the approval of the subhumans here.
>>
>>744476210
I won't. You're words can't stop me. In fact, these threads have given me a whole new reason to live; humiliating and destroying utterly ignorant retards like you. Seriously, I get a natural high better than any substance could possibly provide when I imagine my opponents roaring in anger, drool and snot and sweat and tears of blood pouring down from their faces onto their keyboards, enraged they can't get me to break. Honestly, now I kind of understand my bullies in school. Picking on retards like this is half the fun of posting at this point.

What's the last shmup you guys managed to play for 8 hours or longer?

>>744476462
Well, kiddo, you're right about one thing - I WILL be hated by subhumans like you no matter what, something you know full well because I suspect you're just another one of my trolls who stalk me religiously waiting to chimp out if I so much as breathe. I'm gunna keep getting clears and high scores and you're just gunna seethe and impersonate me, until the day either of us dies. You'll probably go first, either due to suicide or because you're 450 lbs and at constant risk of a heart attack. Either way, I'm happy I've accidentally given you a reason to do something besides sleep and jerk off and talk about RPGs all day, even if it is just out of autistic obsession. Wishing you the best, little buddy!

Very Hard dip switch in Garegga increases the rank much faster and it caps at 111.6%. The rank caps at 84.6% at Easy difficulty, which is honestly not that hard, since this is the average stage 7 rank for most Gain scoring runs out there.

>>744479326
I'll play either, but its vertical>vertizontal (as some retards like to call it)>horizontal. Vertical for bullet oriented shmups, vertizontal for object oriented shmups, hori for grim dadgamer shit where you avoid walls and its the digital version of pic related.
>>
>>744479195
it's called doodoopoopy
>>
>>744479326
With vertical most the threats come from the top of the screen and shoot down at you and I think I prefer that. Horizontal games seem to make way more rounded use of the screens, you get plenty of stuff coming from right to left but also from the top and bottom, stuff coming from behind you is more common/accepted too, also horizontal games are way more likely to feature terrain which I really don't like.

Retard question about Deathsmiles: how do you shoot upwards against the second form of the final boss?

Based on your reckless dodges, I wonder if I can clear it on first try or at least a few tries. I play shmups for years, but I never bothered giving it a try solely because I don't like the "bugs" aesthetic. Bugs are nasty and boring. Though I have to admit that the game looks fun gameplay wise.

>>744479326
I'm the only person in the entire world who genuinely prefers horizontal. It just feels better when you're scrolling left to right. I dunno why people make such a big deal of preferring vertical

I play both but I don't like crashing into terrain, so games like Progear and Deathsmiles are absolutely good. Gradius has the terrain thing but I still like Gaiden despite everything. Hori looks better on my displays since I am not turning a monitor or TV around.

And what is "shit like this"? Smug, ignorant poseurs getting humbled? This is a good thing. This used to be considered admirable. I would have been an example of a top-tier poster on old /v/. But because I was slightly aggressive when I said RPGs and Touhou are gay and you're better off playing a real game, I'm now forever branded a meaniehead and people will always hate me for no discernible reason. Not that I care. Their hatred only fuels my need to get better. Not only because its fun, but to drive these normalcattle into the dirt and utterly humiliate them. You should try it sometime.
