I want to talk about shmups.
What are your favorite ones?
Also, what is the go to input device? I've been using my keyboard but I'm not to happy about it.
>>
>>12628093
'Kay.
>Favorite ones
Darius series, Sdf Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie and the R-Type series. I have never 1CC a shmup.
>go-to input device.
KB is fine, but an arcade stick really helps if you get into bullet hell games.

>I have never 1CC a shmup
You didn't beat the game

Been watching shmup tubers and checked my steam library for any and this is what I have so I'm grinding it out. Beat normal mode by the skin of my teeth and now I'm taking the month to 1cc it on the hardest difficulty. Definitely the hardest experience I've had in gaming so far. Anyone else?

I have 1cc's in Mushihimesama (stick), Magical Chase (r36s), Nostradamus easy (arcade cabinet) and 1-all's in Donpachi (m30) and Gunbird (m30)
My favorite so far has to be Mushihimesama

Learning how to play on stick is fun and useful but you can do everything on pad. I use the 8bitdo m30 which is modeled after the sega saturn. cost me like $5 in china.
>>12628119
of those try to 1cc darius first. it's the easiest. the r-type 1-all is an intermediate clear not for beginner's
>>12628414

>>12628447
It's absurd that you think you can carve out some weird safe space where you can soiface over sprite art and not play games. No genre works like that, least of all this one. Go away retard.

>>12628953
*inserts another quarter*
nothin personnel kid
>>
>>12628093
>Favorite shmups
Pretty much everything Gradius and Gradius-related, especially Gaiden, II and IV. If we're talking verticals, I enjoy Dodonpachi, Dangun Feveron, Vimana, Batsugun, Viper Phase 1 and the Raiden Fighters game.
>Go to input device
Anything with a functional dpad. For the moment it's an Anbernic RG406V, and when the dpad is broken in it'll be my R36 Ultra, because that 4 inch 720x720 screen is great for verticals and decent for horizontals. Otherwise, I'm on PC and it's keyboard or a Dualsense

I beat GG Aleste 2 yesterday, I'm into 3 now

My favorites? Mushihime, Dodonpachi, Battle Garegga and many more!
Never 1cc it btw, too hard XD

That's a pretty good deal.
I thought about getting a hitbox, my problem with the keyboard is that the keys are too close, but I like the fact that I don't have to move my finger positioning.
>>
>>12629235
A lot of people play touhou on keyboard
Also cant you map movement on keyboard to your other fingers besides the arrow keys? like asdf or something
>>12629234
go for the mushi original clear. it was my first. not that hard at all

>favorites
I prefer slow-paced shmups, preferably ones that have a lot of weapon variety and an element of strategy to them.
So my favorites are an odd assortment that fits those autistic criteria. Radiant Silvergun, R-Type series, Harmful Park, Eliminate Down, Psycho Chaser, etc.
I'm open to recommendations.
>input
I've settled on keyboard and it works fine for me. Much better than a bad D-pad anyway, and I've had lots of bad D-pads.
I map my movement to WASD and face buttons to numpad, which is extremely comfy. It keeps my hands far apart (at roughly the same width as my shoulders) instead of pushing them too close together.

Gradius, Darius, maybe even Xevious
These are known derogatorily as "dadshmups"
>>
>>12628093
>Also, what is the go to input device?
The one you are more comfortable with, inputs are not that technical in shmups so moving between controllers is less drastic than fighting games
I personally prefer dualshock, with rapid shot on circle, slow shot on cross, bomb on l1 and eventual hyper/special on r1

>>12629295
Anyone that really thinks they feel this way should play Same! Same! Same! and then immediately realize they're being dishonest with themselves.
>>
>>12630205
What do you mean?

>>12630509
Sorry, I'm on HRT and it makes me a little jumpy. I also forgot to take my meds.

>>12630509
People who say they like dadshit really mean
>I like really easy and braindead games
Not
>I like games that excel at using the mechanics typically front and center of dadshit

Where? I see at around $25 on aliexpress. Also how would you rate it? Is there any noticeable input lag when using it wireless?
>>
>>12631481
on taobao
rate 10/10
have the 2.4ghz version but never used it wireless, only plugged in
>>
>>12631510
>on taobao
Do you still need to purchase through an agent or something like that? I remember reading about buying from taobao on /csg/ threads and it seemed like a pain in the ass.

I love metal shmup soundtracks like Thunder Force 4 and Dodonpachi so I started writing a shmup soundtrack for fun

Blue Revolver in terms of new shmups. Thunder Force games in terms of older games (especially 4).
>Also, what is the go to input device?
Keyboard on PC.
Mouse and keyboard for twin stick shooters (like Star of Providence).
WASD leverless arcade controllers on consoles (I use 8BitDo's arcade controller with an Odin V2 WASD drop-in fightpad).

>>12628504
I want to get the M30, but I heard that the d-pad isn't entirely accurate for diagonals.
Also, what tablet is that?

I was in China so I didnt need an agent, I was wrong it was actually about $17
>>12631836
I didn't notice but not everyone likes the circle dpad compared to cross dpads. to me it's great and feels more similar to movement on a stick. The tablet is ipad air
>>
>>12631919
I heavy metal’fied some of my old chiptunes, friend.
