How does it feel to have your favorite games mogged by one of the greatest shooting games of all time?
What's a shmup to get someone who's never played a shmup into shmups?It's one of the few genre's I've never touched.
>>12689862Touhou 6
>>12689865>TouhouGuh...anything without little anime girls who look like they have tea parties?
>>12689870This is not the genre for you I'm afraidWhy don't you go play some boring brown shit and concrete grey fps instead?
>>12689862DoDonPachi or Batsugun
>>12689873>Why don't you go play some boring brown shit and concrete grey fps instead?I like anime, I just hate women. I don't watch anime with female protags unless it's Ghost in the Shell.
>>12689862Gradius / Parodius or DonPachi / DoDonPachi
>>12689885Ah a little chud
>>12689892Pretty much. I liked Card Captor Sakura as a kid, but in general I just don't wanna hear a woman speak or be forced to play as one.
>>12689862DoDonPachi and Touhou 6 through 8 are good starting points.If you want something more traditional, Gradius and Raiden would be great starters.Or you could just start with Dai-Ou-Jou and go directly to hell.
There's no way any of this thread can be genuine right
>>12689929You're right, it didn't get derailed into loliposting yet. All shmup threads derail into loliposting 5 posts in.
>>12689931You should post your clears
>>12689932Working on them, actually.>newfagAt least I don't 50CC.
>>12689857the only cave game with a good ost

>>12689931Sex with the new DFK skyscraper-sized loli doll.You may begin to discuss shmups for real now.
>>12690014I conceptually hate the new "battle royal" mode they're planning for reignite. I truly do mean it.New loli is always nice though.
>>12689862You probably want to start with easy ones, so something like thunder force 3.
>>12690017I don't have an issue with it for now, even if we barely know shit. Daifukkatsu was always an experimental game in many ways, something like that fits right in.
>>12690019It'll flop just like every other attempt to dilude STGs had failed. Batsugun only succeeded because it was Toaplan and because it still played like a STG proper.
is talking about shmups a new zoomie fad like fidget spinners?
>>12690041Shmups are cool, unlike the rest of the slop on this board. Cry about it.
>>12690041At least the genre has more people talking about it than just mark that way. If it leads to retarded "oh turn it into an rouge" shit, then we're screwed.>>12690050Absolutely true.
>>12690050yes they are cool but they were a little cooler before your ilk started spamming doj cover ad nauseum
>>12690056Spamming Ketsui cover next time to appease the shmupgods.
What's considered an good score pace in crs68k for the first loop into the second?
>>12689870Gay.
Of all retro games, shmups are the ones that have held up the strongest and left the biggest impression on me.
>>12689857Someone tell me what's so good about DOJ compared to Radiant Silvergun where you have six different weapon + sword simultaneously while in dodonpachi you just have two? Seems pretty basic to me
>>12689857>shooting gamesYWNBJ
>>12691212hey, at least he didn't use the stupid abbreviation
>>12689857I keep thinking that's a screenshot from Metal Slug 3's first stage.
>>12691216STGlet
>>12689929>There's no way any of this thread can be genuine right>DoDonPachi is fun and good to start with, Gradius for horizontal shmups>wooooow there's no way that can be genuineWhat's your deal, guy?
>>12691245OP probably isn't genuine though
>>12691274OP here.I am genuine. Then again, comparing most games to DOJ is unfair considering just how good DOJ is
>>12689857I find funny how a big chunk of the best games of their respective genres were made under heavy pressure and time/budget constrains.iirc Daioujou had all of them, plus the team was threatened to disband if the game bombed.
>>12691279I think even within CAVE games ketsui and futari is significantly better. muchi pork is arguably more fun too.
>>12691307Futari is definitely better for a multitude of reasons plus it was made for a newer and better arcade board. But no way I would pick the fat chick shmup over DOJ, I always found it meh even if it's the easiest Cave-era YGW shmup
>>12691232Sure Thing Game
>>12691329idk man, I don't know how people can stand chaining in ddp and doj
autistic scorefaggots are cancer & moe pedos deserve the rope. Shmups should be about spaceships & alien worlds not mental illness & degeneracy. OP is a faggot.
this is pretty much the one genre in existence where things aren't supposed to be a gay atmospheric adventure
>>12691365The scoring genre shouldn't be about scoringfucking LMAO
The aesthetic in shmups is tied to gameplay. To fully enjoy the aesthetic you have to play well. Also there is literally nothing wrong with dressing up as a girl every now and then.
>>12691380>tfw no crossdressing schmup bf to make fun of me for not being able to do 1cc'sit hurts bros
I've been playing Raiden Fighters Jet recently and really enjoying it. Can anyone recommend any other games in that series?
>>12691531Raiden Fighters, Raiden Fighters 2, Viper Phase One, maybe also the original raidens (1, 2, dx) if you're feeling ballsy.As far as I know III and IV are still well regarded, but V is shit and Nova is considered straight kuso and is also rougeslop.
>>12689862Space Invaders, Galaxian, Phoenix and Galaga.
>>12691370I don't even disagree but >implying shmups invented scoringThat's just an arcade thing come on now.
>>12691721True, but the most popular genre to score to this day, is chiefly, the shmup
>>12689857I like this version's color balance better
>>12689862what got me interested was gradius v and touhou 8. my first 1cc was mushihimesama original
>>12689857its my favourite stg but i hate that its basically the new ikaruga for posers.>>12691350Its frustrating at first, but its satisfying to execute and its something where you can mostly work through and understand what you can do to score better, unlike a lot of cave games with really convoluted systems where the way to score better after a certain point just becomes a confusing mess and there's no real clear path to improvement>>12691531rfj is kinda just the best of the raiden fighters games. and the original raiden games dont play like that at all, theyre more like early toaplan clones. you should check out the sonic wing games or some psikyo games if you want something that has the same ultra fast crackhead pace.
>>12692448NOOOOOO ANON, DON'T PICK SHOTIAAAAA!!!!!JUST PICK EXY OR THE CHINESE LOLI!!!!!!!!DOJ IS MORE FUN WITH THEM!!!!
>>12689857aren't you the guys with rpg derangement syndrome
>>12692493i only play b-exy lol. i've tried leinyan a bit but her shot coverage is really bad and I dont wanna reroute loop 2 with her. shotia is a cutie though
>>12693021Yeah, I hate rpgs. What of it?
>>12693021Most shmiggers I know have at least one JRPG on the side. What the fuck is this bullshit about?
>>12693560Mostly a /vr/ thing. There's a few shmup fans who pop up to call people shitters and whine about jarpigs rather than posting about shmups much. People often do enjoy both genres.
>>12693562I mean for crying out loud, isn't there a JRPG series that is LITERALLY just an arena fighter? Also doujins like Astlibra that are basically 2d sidescrollers gameplay wise.
>>12693567>arena fighterWhat kind of shitter would want that
>>12693571Idk. I just heard it.
>>12693560There is absolutely no way I could play a shmup decently and play a game on the side. Every time I play something else I feel guilty like im getting worse, and everything else seems boring in comparison.
>>12693593Sounds like a personal problemPerhaps of the onii kind
>>12689857I'll let you know if it ever happens
>>12689893Indian.
Oh... I don't think this is a shmup thread at all. Nevermind then.
>>12693813Nope.I'm white. Womens voices are like nails on a chalkboard, they're as annoying as children with their behaviours and personalities, women being "badasses" or "cool" in video games is cringe and never lands. Women should be background characters supporting the main hero. They should mostly be seen and not heard. Guys who choose to play as girls when given the option are closeted perverts and transexuals.

>>12694456>Using incel unironicallyGo back where you came from.
>>12694396>I fucking hate seeing and hearing sexy/cute girls in my vidyaIf I wanna jerk off, I'll look at porn.
>>12694514I think you are the one who needs to go back.
>>12694583Go back to /a/, brainlet. If you need "cute girls" in your media to engage with it, that's where you belong.
>>12694650hmm...nyo.
