Is it embarrassing to admit that you play shmups? Whenever someone asks what genre I'm into I just say "shooters" because that seems less gay. started playing a little bit of Doom so when they ask follow up questions like "Yeah, what do you play?" I am not caught with my pants down and can actually give them details.
>>744514482All video games are embarrassing to anyone who isn't a loser.
>>744514642This. This is why the the only people who knows I play videogames are my parents and sisters; no one else knows and I hide it like another man would hide his homosexuality.
I don't think this is the thread
>>744514482>Is it embarrassing to admit that you play shmups?No?The opposite is true. Whenever someone sees me playing touhou and I mention you die in one hit they are always impressed. Even though I'm just playing normal.
>me? I like bullet hell games>yeah, it's pretty hardcore>im probably like, i mean, statistically, i'm probably like one of the best in the world at it, you know?
Why are shmupfags so full of themselves? Shmups aren't conceptually hard to grasp.
>>744514729As you should. I was married for three years before coming out to my wife.
>>744515062just post your 1cc anon. It's not a big ask, just do it.
>>744514482It's more like, no one knows what I'm talking about because they haven't seen a shmup since space invaders or galaga. The term "shooter" is associated with FPS already.If you mean with somebody who does know videogames, then no.
How do you play Futari? Is it on Xenia?
It is a mystery
>>744515458https://archive.org/details/mushihimesama-futari-ver.-1.5-rf
>>744514482I can't clear this game even when playing Caladrius, I managed to kill the emperor but the last stage was impossible
Any cool upcoming shmups? I saw another thread talking about Birdcage.
>>744518754Nope. Dead genre
>>744518754DFK port remake the genre is thriving
>>744518754Tatsujin Extreme just came out and it's looking pretty good. Other than that, there are the new Cotton Rock with You and Infinity Lancer which are looking to be some fun new shmups to try.
>>744521080It's almost like this whole post is bait
>>744518754Birdcage isn't upcoming and it sucks ass outside the grafx anyways.
>>744521137He's right about Tatsujin Extreme being pretty but idk if I want to play a widescreen vertical with 10 min stages.
shmups are dead
>dodge little blue dot from all the other dots on screenI really hate shmups, void gameplay for cunts
Are there any notable/infamous videos of people raging/sperging/chimping out during a live event or stream after fucking up at the end of a run? I'm new here.
>>744524486>Are there any notable/infamous videos of people raging/sperging/chimping out during a live event or stream after fucking up at the end of a run?nyes
The word "shmup" sounds very fucking gay and retarded, yes. Stop trying to fit in to some cringe online subculture and just call them shooters, bullet hell, danmaku, whatever. Anyone who says "shmup" probably also says IRL "I'm gonna eat a sammich" with a shit eating grin as if they just said something really quirky and clever.
>>744524736I just knocked this guys top spot off a restart syndrome leaderboard
>>744514482Shmups are not actually the bottom of the barrell in terms of being a dead genre with little to no normie appeal. That honor belongs to beat-em-ups and run-n-guns.
>>744524960>and just call them shooters, bullet hell, danmaku, whatever.just saying STG is the best as it includes both danmaku/bullet hell with dadshit and also not associating with what normalfags call shooters
>>744524960Shmups is a cute nameMoe name for moe genre
>>744525020good for you
>>744524960I like the word shmup, it implies that the main thing you have to do is shoot waves of ennemies and nothing elseIt's a much better term than other genres like metroidvanias/roguelite/soulslike/...STG is the only good alternative name, shooters people associate that to fps/tps, bullet hell people name anything that have bullets on screen a bullet hell even if not a shmup (like furi, nier automata or enter the gungeon)
Tell me about this ASE-PRL fella
>>744525306Cope alert
>>744524486Lot's of gems from Futanari Ultra WR holder. But I don't collect it. And I just realized he deleted his Twitch channel. Sad.
>>744514482It's the opposite. I don't play shmups besides trying one here and there and whenever I see someone who clearly plays it a lot and enjoys it, I am impressed.

>>744526645NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>744525414I don't know him but I met him randomly on a discord server I just joined, I was sharing my opinion about a game completely innocently and he hit me with a fake interest reaction, made me realize that he was probably an asshole but then I gave him some criticism about something unrelated months later and he took it well
>>744526645>QuakedoomNukemI don't give a shit about lilcocky. I want to know what happened to Quake
>>744526645What website is that
>>744514482Posting Cecilia gets you banned right?
>>744524960This. I just call them shooting games or shoot em up
>>744526856>he hit me with a fake interest reactionHow did you realize it was fake
>>744525028Sometimes I think this is the case, and then I remember that even something like Fight N Rage utterly mogs Ikaruga into oblivion on review count and extrapolated sales. I don't even need to get into SoR4 which has straight up mainstream levels of sales. That recent-ish TMNT bmup is up there, too. Run n guns are tougher since I'm not as familar with what all is out there, but even then, something like a quick and dirty rom dump of MS3 has over 6 thousand reviews, again mogging Ikaruga into oblivion.
>>744528134I would argue new beat em ups arent really beat em ups. The current state of that genre makes me glad shmups didnt fall into normalfag pandering. Hopefully Woon will save them.
>>744528251>Woonbog*
>>744527730The reaction was literally an emote saying "fake interest"
>>744528251>it doesn't count because they're successfulshmups couldn't pander to normalfags even if they wanted to
>>744528326Bog has yet to make a game I have enjoyed. I also think its odd that people force an eceleb over an actual 4chan dev that is way more successful and popular and has proven themselves.
reminder
>>744528251The nice thing about shmups is they don't need good sales to continue to be made. We get a ton of new doujin shmups every year regardless because they're relatively cheap and easy to make, and all the fans are autists.
>>744528251>>744528326>>744528439who is woon and what is he making?
>>744528541new beat em up game from pizza tower dev
>>744525028Umbrella Warriors never ever
>>744528541https://youtu.be/BT-PIsk1o7wWoon is being made by McPig, the Pizza Tower guy.
>>744514482I just call them "scrolling shooters."
>>744528393Honestly? Half the fun of shmups to me is being able to lord over my inferiors by proving I can put in the work and do something that would certainly give them a heart attack if they tried. Its sad its at that point, I don't think what I do is particularly impressive, but here we are. If tomorrow, every normalfag could bang out Ketsui clears with ease, the luster would kind of be gone for me, because normalfags are human bacteria and affect everything they touch.
>>744528981:/
>>744528476Enjoying a game enough to come back to it once a year is really high praise, actually. In the modern world there are hundreds of interesting games to try out, so you gotta pick carefully what to spend your time replaying. A shmup has to be special for people to come back to it after completing (1cc'ing) it
>>744528476things like this don't get discussed because there is often no cheese, abuse or some type of clever strategy like that. A lot of the time, you just gotta practice for hours until you get good. That's the conceit of shmups as a genre.
>>744528393>it doesn't count because they're successfulit doesn't count because they play like a crude parody of beat em ups
any cool shmups for android? or classic ones that can be played just with touch controls?
>>744528439Bog is literally a 4chan dev too
>>744529648>things like this don't get discussed because there is often no cheese, abuse or some type of clever strategy like thatBut there is.https://streamable.com/1zr2ymYesterday I just figured out you could do this by just making these very easy and lenient cutbacks when a certain shot type fires. There's tons of dumb shit that gets overlooked because its not absolutely necessary. If something isn't 100% consistent there's room for improvement.
>>744529648>things like this don't get discussed because there is often no cheese, abuse or some type of clever strategy like that.
>>744529880I've seen a few people talk good things about Bullet Hell Monday
>>744528614Does he know?
>>744529880You can download PPSSPP and emulate Gradius Colection, and whatever else was ported onto PSP back in the day. Though personally I had a better time just playing it on PC with a normal controller. Touch controls only clicked with me if I tilted the screen vertically, changing the layout to where the game itself is only half the screen. Mind you that was with a tablet, might be even worse with a phone. But that might just be me.
>>744525964>open it up out of curiosity>discord precure troonyikes
>>744530000Another reason Squire Grooktook is full of shit is that many Strategy pages on Shmup Wiki are missing or incomplete to this day, so clearly people didn't actually take the time to write all that shit down
>>744530676I have it in my channels but never use it.Precure community (/pc/ especially included) is almost worse than shmup's. Almost.
>>744526942Mid age crisis, just like me haha

>>744531631Why yes, a person can like more than one genre of games, in fact a curious person with diverse interests will probably have better-thought-out and more measured takes tham people that never go outside their comfort zone.
>>744531631reminder banana was crushing shmups on the side while grinding on his jarpigs like MH
>>744532154>Why yes, a person can like more than one genre of gamesSure, but the problem is shmup players generally know what good gameplay is and wouldn't waste their time on boring slop like MMOs by Square. Since he allegedly plays shmups yet enjoy FFXIV regardless, I can only conclude he is a lying poseur who has no clue what he is talking about, and must be kept far, FAR away from shmup spaces. Additionally, I can draw the same conclusion about you, considering you are willing to defend such abhorrent behavior. Why do all shmup threads have malicious nonplayers wanting to drag everyone down with them?
>>744533172>Since he allegedly plays shmups yet enjoy FFXIV regardless, I can only conclude he is a lying poseur who has no clue what he is talking aboutbananamatic is a superplayer so his opinion matters more than you
>>744514482If someone like Mork doesn't feel embarrassment why should you?
>>744533361So? First off, being a "superplayer" means jackshit if you're just gunna spout ignorant bullshit and play garbage. A complete and utter shitter who hates RPGs has 100x more worth than a "superplayer". Additionally, I'm arguably a superplayer now, considering my score in Devil Blade, which creams the runner up on Restart Syndrome.
>>744532939I hate to break it to you, but if you lose interest you, well, lost.
>>744533665I have the 16th highest devil blade score actually. No one actually plays shmups so you can just say you have the highest score and they'll believe you which is kinda funny.
Since we are talking about matic, does anyone archived his videos? Afaik only Blakisto saved his DDP run, but I'd love to rewatch his SDOJ and Garegga run (the one that he btfo Plasmo).

>>744532939It's not uncommon for people who achieve peak performance at something that requires massive dedication to hate the thing they dedicated their life towards. Just look at how Bobby Fischer started deriding chess after he stayed world champion for so long. He invented Fischer Random to fix the issues he saw with the game and when it didn't catch on he become increasingly more anti-semitic blaming Jews for everything that was wrong with Chess. He was a few boring matches away from becoming the chess unabomber.
Newfag here, redpill me on lilshmuppy. From last few threads I've seen I gathered that he's some guy on youtube and there are multiple people ITT pretending to be him? Which one is real? Is it the whiny avatarfag or the namefag?
>>744534705bananamatic actually isnt even that good though, there's literally someone who posts here with a higher DDP score than he has
>>744534867>there's literally someone who posts here with a higher DDP score than he hasdamn I didn't know THE Jaimers (who could do anything if he REALLY wanted to) post on /v/
>>744514482Saying you like shmups filters out fake gamers and the weak willed (foids, zoomers, coomers, etc...) , it's only bad if you actually do want to interact with these so-called people
>>744534143No.
>>744534773>Is it the whiny avatarfag or the namefag?About 5% posts or less are actually me. Hope that helps you understand the nature of these threads.
>>744534705>He invented Fischer Random to fix the issues he saw with the game and when it didn't catch on he become increasingly more anti-semitic blaming Jews for everything that was wrong with Chess.I see nothing has changed. /v/ also blames Jews for everything wrong with gaming.
>>744534705Never forget that one MapleStory player who went max, had the devs watching his stream, then ranted about the game completely shitting on it in front of them all

>>744514482In what context? Someone just randomly approaches you and asks you what video games you like?And I probably wouldn't use the word shmups around anyone who wasn't already familiar because it likely makes no sense to them. If you feel guilty over something you like you should KYS right away or get a god damn backbone. Like what you like, and your lack of self confidence is more embarrassing than anything. I've gotten laid back in a room filled with power ranger and video game posters (years ago) and the girls never had a second thought because I wasn't a pussy about my interests.

>>744540603If anything, that means the clear is only a few runs away. But yeah other anon is right about needing more refinement in the rest of the game still.
In DDP, what are the situations where you'd prefer to use a normal Bomb vs the situations where you'd prefer to use a Laser Bomb?
>>744542829Bomb to reposition easily, laser bomb to kill whatever doesn't die easily. Bosses should always be laser bomb'd
>>744543041Thank you!
>He 1-ALL shitcleared
>>744542829Usually laser for bosses and normal bomb for stages, but there's some situations that normal bomb is better for bosses like stage 5 boss, which you can bomb him to give you enough time to avoid the small nukes and point blank him or bomb him after that pattern to give you enough iframes to not get crushed by him. Normal bomb is also a must for Hibachi, cus you want to perfectly time it to give you time to point blank her between attack transitions.
It's the most ugly and horrible A-L 1cc you will ever see but I did it! 3 days of choking like 15 timesNOW I can route the game!Technically my first danmaku clear since all the other 1ccs I have were for R-Type or Batsugun
Most arcade scores are kind of ass in actuality, a 1-ALL will probably keep you at the top unless there's an enthusiast in your area

If by macro you mean leading shots/enemies more then I'm trying to learn this right now, and from what I saw other people do they play way more up on the screen as A-L while I hug the bottom screen a bit too much... I need to fix this...
