>>744582050It's probably soft and feminine
I like Blazing Lazers.
>>744582387Check out the two Spriggan games Compile made on the PC Engine as well. If you liked Blazing Lasers I think you'd really dig them. The second game got a fan translation just recently which was sorely-needed for the between-stage cutscenes (amazingly you can turn off all cutscenes in game too, what a kind gesture).
>>744583419Keep this slop on /vr/, you already killed one thread
On stage 3 for DDP, what are the conditions for the final 2 bees to appear? Do you have to kill the turrets before the 2 thingies in front of the ship? Do the red needle turret need to stay alive while you destroy the other turret on the other side or can you destroy one turret fully, get the bee and do the same on the other turret?Or is it a time limit thing?

I did it, somehow.doing it on rank 32 locked requires insanely fast reading + precision and there are bullshit RNG waves overlap that you will have to dodge (get lucky)

I've seen everyone saying that Truxton Extreme is easy even for noobs, but I tried Arcade Mode three times and got fucked.Am I retarded?I've 1CC'd a few games in my life, like Strikers 1945, which I've never heard anyone say is easy even for noobs, but when I pick up a game that's supposed to be suepr easy, I just can't play it?
>>744588404Did you get the white shot?

>>744588613Try NohBoard. it has some pre configured overlays, but I don't mind uploading the ones I use for shmups, since it can take a few minutes to make it look good.

>>7445909194
>>744590962Thank you, I'll try all of those + mini padder tonight
>>744588610Yes. I switch it out every now and then, but that’s not why I keep dying. I've noticed that I get caught off guard sometimes and can’t react in time. The shots are super fast.I played story mode with the first character and found pretty much all the levels and bosses really easy, I beat most of them on my first try. But then in Arcade Mode, when I have to play through the whole game, I keep dying here and there because of stupid things without being able to react. The game is easy, but I can’t play it, even though I can play some harder games...I can't understand this phenomenon...I think I need to keep playing until I "get" the idea of the game and start racking up lives.
BIG shmuppy here, I'm a big bear with a big hairy belly and I like to top one-sissy bottoms
lilcocky's cock is too small
>>744590919>>744591553How is Gradius supposed to be played?Everytime I get the itch to play I start geting my speed powerups, missiles, maybe laser, start getting a lot of options and I feel like a god. But just one tiny mistake takes me back to 0, it feels like shit having to get everything back, specially being so slow.Last time I got killed on one of those parts you have to shoot to keep going forward but there were also a billion other enemies, I couldn't even shoot fast enough with the default shot to get past the walls.Is it a game of "never make a mistake" or are there parts you gotta start noticing where you can start making your recovery?
>>744592134I think Gradius V lets you pick up your Options after death
>>744591719Truxton is a horrendously bad game where it's mostly downtime and some short points that are very precise to not die at. Extreme is the same. It's paced like this because the game is meant to be looped like 20 times. If that sounds awful that's because.... it is!
>>744592134You can make mistakes and recover well if you have a good recover route. Salamander 1 and 2 fixes all of that if you don't like checkpoints
Play Spolous 2
>>744593764>watch the plaza stream this weekend>half the players are afk>the remaining two are a pc running the game at 4 fps, and a screen that was upside downWhat a sell
>>744585472Did you win?>>744586629Nice one
>>744574021I like the Rytpe ships and Ikuraga the most.
>>744592213Gradius V lets you pick up Options after death but you can still lose them because of level scroll
Why Zero Ranger is so hard? Isn't it supposed to be babby's first shmup? And why the first ship sucks so much compared to the second?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbWR1m5OPUAI'm trying to copy some of these early routes for scoring, but since the video is so old, is there any better video than this showing a high score?I feel like Prometheus's routing was more safe even if it's 150M less than this so I might switch to his routing
>>744601709What are you trying to do exactly
>>744602214Copying 99% of the chains done for stage 1 to 5 for the first loop
>>744602412How long have you been playing shmups? Do you have the technical knowledge and execution to do that? What is your target score?
>>744602749I'll develop the execution along the way, my goal is to know what the route is(for scoring) even if I fail at it and can only reproduce it 1 out of 100 times, so that I can spam going for 1cc and then polish every routing/chaining naturally as I play more, so right now, instead of just playing for survival again, I want to play with a routing for scoring in mind, while technically going for survival runs onlyDoes that make sense? I don't care for the second loop yet, but I want to do 1-6 with at least 100M and all bees and without losing a life
DDP anon you still have the AFK overlay on
>>744603124>Does that make senseYou just fabricate a route and execute it. If it's not consistent with what you're capable of, you either need to grind it until it is, or work out something easier. I ask because not only may it be difficult to understand what you're looking at and why it works, but it will also be difficult to do your own troubleshooting. And the people who typically shill ddp here have been unsurprisingly silent.>at least 100MThat is a lot.
>>744592134you reset when you die
>>744603124I'm not too familiar with DDP so other anons can correct me, but routing Loop 1 for score with all bees sounds like it'd be a longer and stricter grind than just getting a survival clear for Loop 2
>>744603124I thought you just wanted a 1-ALL no miss followed by a 2-ALL. You're going to torture yourself if you want an above average score while you still barely able to clear consistently.
>>744574021The Gradius, R-Type, and Raiden ships have always looked so damn cool to me.
>>744603621My goal is not to go for 2-All as fast as possible, but to learn how to route and perfect my loop 1 each time I go for 2-All, so I want to first learn 1-All as well as I can and have a "clear" route in mind for every time I attempt a 1-All No Miss and later on a 2-All 1cc>>744603440Yeah but if possible I want to practice a route that already work, while modifying it slightly to make it easier on me by dropping a few digits of chaining (which is what I'm already doing for stage 2)>>744604027I want that, but I don't want to just headbut for 2-All and make the game boring on me by not learning chaining properly since I do love DDP and I want to play it as intended since it makes every reset fun, if playing for survival only I'm going to really get bored and I could just play any other shmup but I choose DDP because the combo system reminds me of other games I enjoy
>>744604235Jumping straight to superplayer tier scoring runs after a shitty clear doesn't sound very optimal. Well, I guess there's not much I can argue if you are having "fun". Just don't expect fast results, try to at least respect the pacing and maybe you can get a full run going two or three months from now.
>>744605065I'm not talking about superplayer tier scoring and I 'm not expecting fast results either, I don't see it as torture and 2 months for a 2-All would be way too quick knowing it took some people like a year
>>744605279>and 2 months for a 2-All would be way too quick knowing it took some people like a yearI'm mostly talking about 1-all scoring, since thats how long it took me to get 1-all 600m in DOJBL after getting into scoring runs. I didn't bother with 1-all scoring+2-all in the same run though.
>>744606020Well, I'm fine with that, and I'm not saying "I will do this" but "I'm working towards that goal" and whatever happens, happensJust going for a 2-All for the sake of it while I ignore 90% of how the game is supposed to be played would be unfun,I do think fun is important here,, because then anything I would be doing would be actual torture instead of me enjoying myself
>>744606168If you want to continue playing ddp I would suggest working on a route where you don't eat shit on the first loop before you think of doing anything else first. If that doesnt sound enticing you can play something else, PEG says the key to getting good is to play a lot of different shmups. Perhaps when you learn more, and build more tolerance, doing this won't be so intimidating.
Battle Garegga is fun, but Batrider is better.
>>744575767I'm everything there except 2hu fan, where does that put me?
>>744606951Routing for scoring, is how I'm making a route where I don't eat shit, since it makes the game way easier for survival when I already know what to expect for most stagesLet's agree to disagree this convo is going nowhere
>>744607137Trans
>>744574021Isn't the Silver Hawk usually red?
>>744607061pros>visible bullets (can change color mid run)>big ship roster (need secret code to unlock half of them tho)>multiple modes to please different skill levels>good stage variety (memorable and well balanced for survival and scoring)>countless scoring tricks and routes>amazing OST>car pet solo goes brrrrrcons>three lives cap>can accidentally trigger secret bosses>no instant extends>about half of the ships are underpowered>no extends while fighting bosses (inclusing the final boss)>most players exploit the rank through the service mode>need stage edit to optimize scoring>gain is fucking nerfed to the ground
I won't play a shmup unless you control either a cute girl or a cool spaceshipBest games are where a cute girl pilots a cool ship
>>744574021What the fuck is an Arwing doing on this list. Starfox is not a shmup. It's an on the rail shooter like Area 51 or Umbrella Chronicles
>>744574021wow, no Raptor? weak
>>744608762>On the rail shooterYou can actually freely move across two axis, need to dodge enemy attacks and are forced to constantly go forward, all just like a shmup
>>744609005What techniques does star fox share with shmups? Show me 2 seconds of someone tap dodging in star fox
>>744578964Garbage. Any shmup with a health meter-- where you're expected to take hits-- is trash.
>>744610156Disagree. Shmups need more RPG mechanics. Let's move on from Caveslop.
AAAAh! nothing better than a casual run before taking the dog for a walk.
>>744611068I usually end up dropping shmups once they get too routine, idk how people do it
>>744611359This manga is such utter garbage compared to usogui
>>744607421Ew, noLook man, I just like playing for score
>>744608604Why not a fish or a dragon?In Phelios you ride Pegasus.
>>744611029>Shmups need more RPG mechanics. Let's move on from Caveslop.Play Radiant Silvergun for five minutes and I guarantee you'll feel differently.
>>744611029But (>>744610156 and >>744612809 here) to remain positive and be nice, even to people like you: Go play Caladrius Blaze, cool shmup with a shop system and being able to change your weapon levels around between each stage.
We need story focused shmups if we want this genre to stay alive for generations to come.
>>744613037Go play Einhander.
>>744611184I ritually play the same shmup every single day. I already achieved most of my long term goals, so now I just casually do 1ccs simply because it's fun and satisfying. Though it really bothers me a little if I accidentally die more than once.
>>744612884Caladrius works because the shop is functionally pointless because you always follow the same upgrade path and your upgrades come from performing well in stages, disassembling bosses, etc.
>>744613549Ever think of doing like a Baron run in Batrider or something?
>>744608604This. Too bad Blue Revolver has very bad ship design, ever.
>>744613037Truxton Extreme does this and SDOJ console ports have a kino mode with a lot of dialogue but it's never enough for a casual audience, it's very hard to appeal to that crowd but I don't consider it impossible
>>744613753No. I did a Normal Course clear with car-pet (s) solo years ago (2018?) than moved on. I barely explored different ships back then to be honest. I only gave it a try because I was watching Chum and Aquas fighting for the western record at that time.
>>744614183Might be worth looking at. Formation does still have some interesting uses there, plus you can set it and drop it which is kind of interesting. Pretty much all of the bosses can be milked and there's a fuckton of stage destruction, both to collect medals and due to pointblanking with charge shot adding another layer of optimization. Dunno if I like it as much as Garegga but they are pretty similiar overall, moreso than the final bat game anyways.
>>744614409>Might be worth looking at.Maybe at some point in the future. For now I'm keep an eye on the MMP/PS port. Hopefully no input lag.>just play the mame version, broThere are a few minor differences in the 360 version, which you can check in the shmups wiki.
>>744574021None of the aboveU.N. Squadron, the Efreet
>>744615460The 360 version is good because it makes some small and welcome adjustments to MMP while adjusting PS in two different ways, both of which I see as massive improvements but the input lag needs to be cut down a little in this new port
>>744615460>the MMP/PS portYeah I'm waiting on that too, trying to fill these next 2 months with something that isn't overly ambitious. Depending on how things go I might start learning it before the game releases, but it's too early to start now.
>>744615603NTA, I've been looking into IKBL since it's really niche and I want to see what it's all about. Doubt I will 1CC it but I want to at least know a basic route.
How fast and how dense are the patterns in Psikyo games? Compare it to something like Mushihimesama Original as a base? I don't mind having to memo hard and know when to tap dodge and such, but what I hate is when the patterns are dense AND fast and it becomes an execution check on top of it. Something like machine gun funnel spray patterns with a bunch of aimed bullets you have to LeftRightLeftRightLeftRight micro inside of it I would hate but I wouldn't mind if it's just simple open spread shot waves.
More Blue Revoler attempts, gonna do a few warmups for Stage 4 and 5 before doing into full run attempts.https://www.twitch.tv/autumnanon
>>744574021Axelay 2 when?
>>744616057>it becomes an execution check on top of it. Something like machine gun funnel spray patterns with a bunch of aimed bullets you have to LeftRightLeftRightLeftRight microEvery psikyo game is that. Even the old ones. There's just more of it in the new ones. But that's kind of how I think about even slow bullets so it doesn't bother me much.

Gunbird 2https://streamable.com/sswxs7Still pretty sloppy but I think I'm on to something here. This new route already saves 3 bombs over my last run, 1 on stage 5 boss and 2 here. (so no bombs so far)
hi
Need more practice on stage 4 boss, I thought I was consistent at that fight but it's evidently not the case, hope everyone had a good time watching!
>>744588404>>744591719Today I played again and made it to level 7 (I died on the boss because I didn't even know how he worked). I think I realized my mistake in the game, I was focusing too much on "micro dodging" by using the slow-down button, but since the ship is super fast, the screen is super wide, and the white shots follow the enemies, it's much better to focus on "macro dodging". I also started using the bombs without hesitation.The result:Levels 1 through 3: They're okayLevels 4 and 5: They're extremely easy compared to the first two, so that's 20 fucking minutes wasted for nothing. Not even the scoring tricks are interesting in those levelsLevel 6: It gets more challenging againLevel 7: Easy and uninspired, just like levels 4 and 5Level 8: ???The game is way too long, and there are a lot of parts that aren't interesting. But the game is still engaging for some reason. I think the "macro dodging" on an ultra-wide screen makes it fun.
>>744621220You know you're not hurting lilshmuppy by posting this picture, right? In fact, you're only accurately potraying their enemies as weird obsessed troglodytes who can't even dox properly, because that isn't even them. You are so pathetic it isn't even funny. Not lilshmuppy, btw. I just think their treatment is incredibly unfair and he is a blessing that is taken for granted in these threads.

>>744623940Whether its AI or just some rando isn't really relevant here. The point is, if someone has no argument against someone and can only post a selfie (real or not) in an attempt to discredit them, that is pathetic general-esque behavior and it needs to be publicly shamed. If not, its just gunna propagate more and more and ruin discussion even further than its already been ruined.
