>>171967013
It plays quite differently from Kamui and I like it more than Kamui
Though not sure if I should recommend it, because I don't know what you didn't like in Kamui

I like the shield mechanics, it's kinda fun. I like visuals more than in Kamui. One thing is a bit retarded about this game though, there is no life system. You get six hits for stage 1-4, six hits for stages 5-6, and stages 7-8 are one hit game over (though the game is relatively easy survival-wise, unless you make a stupid slip).

>>171968592
>I like the shield mechanics
i liked judgement silversword

>>171968651
I haven't played Judgement Silversword but from what I can find, they have somewhat different mechanics

Basically in RefleX there are some projectile types that can either be canceled or reflected while your shield is up, and the only way to (temporary) raise your multiplier is to kill enemies with reflected shots, and your normal shot hits give you score/prolong your multiplier. So this game wants you to actively run into enemy fire.

I always preferred Kamui and Alltynex 2nd over RefleX. Those are all about attacking with multiple weapon systems 24/7 while RefleX is a hold shield to kill everything affair. It would have been lots better if mechanics like photon burst were available in the early stages.

Eh, I found lock-on system in Kamui tedious, and it's like the primary weapon when playing for score
Beam weapon is cool but the game punishes you by draining your lightning meter with it, so it's kinda frowned upon mechanically

I haven't played Alltynex 2nd much but I think it does a much better job with multi-weapon system than Kamui

>>172020884
It's simply a matter of choosing safety (bullet cancel and enemies dying faster) over additional score. Have you tried hard mode? It's one hell of a rollercoaster.

>>172013541
Well Alltynex Second is more like use sword to kill everything. It's a shame because mechanically the game is awesome but so many of the bosses and tougher enemies just boil down to getting close and slashing with no interesting uses of the game's various weapons in sight. Reflex is more limited but the design is also much tighter.

>>172021827
I feel that those systems are still more fun to use since they require precise movement and timing to get good results, and they don't make you invincible. With sufficient skill you can weave through bullet patterns without restorting to bullet cancel.
Meanwhile in RefleX you hold down a button when the devs want you to bypass bullets and press shoot when missiles come. I honestly think that every stage except the last two are dull as hell.

>>172022293
The shield requires precise movement and timing to optimize the damage you do, if you use it purely defensively it will take ages to kill anything. Weaving through bullets in AS is kinda pointless outside of playing for score, there's not too much precision since the arc of the sword is massive and the timing element is minimal since it's pretty easy to tell which attacks are unsafe and once you're right near an enemy/boss you'll generally stay in once place until they die or change phase.

Reflex is cool, and the gimmick is innovative I think, however I do agree that it somewhat lacks another sub weapon.
It feels like the devs just experimented with this bullet reflect gimmick but didn't think it was worth to put much effort into the game.
It's just too simple. I prefer games with more weapons, like main shot + sub weapon + smartbomb/burst. At best they also give you different option types to chose from. Reflex however feels a bit lack luster.

Or also different ships to chose from. Reflex doesn't have anything like this.

>>172021309
Yeah I've tried both Menace and Mass Production Ship, I'm not really good enough to bother with those
I've cleared the game on Normal but my score is superbad, I could double it just by getting better at survival (basically by not rushing through Alltynex Core and Adjudicator, I think WR-tier scores get about 13 mil on these two bosses alone), but I kinda moved on to other games for now, because I don't like holding the lock-on button

>>172022293
I kinda agree that shield makes the game more passive but I think skill ceiling for it is very high

Game still punishes you for holding shield by draining your main gun with it (for a brief second, but it still may have an impact), and in general game wants you to use both main gun and shield, not to just spam your shield, because you don't get any score for reflected hits (only kills), but main gun nets you score for every hit (though very little score). Also reflecting shots to get highest multiplier and keeping the multiplier up is kinda tricky, but it's only valid when playing for score.

>>172022936
Well, there's ZODIAC version of player's ship, but for some reason it's unavailable in the arcade mode and only marginally different (just more risk/reward)

The biggest issue I also had with Kamui was, that it was so difficult to tell wether an enemy is in the background or not. I never was quite sure when to use lock-on or not. Probably also because the resolution of the game is just horrible.

Soukyugurentai did the lock-on system much better, mainly because you could lock-on to everything there, not just background enemies.

Overall I still think Kamui is Siter Skains best game though.

>>172022851
imo they just focused on scoring more than in the other two games, the shield has a fuckton of depth once the direction of the shots you reflect becomes important, it'd be nice if using the shield deliberately was extremely important for survival

>>172020884>>172020898
thanks but i don't think my toaster with 2gb ram is enough to stream, just leaving OBS open while i was watching a youtube tutorial was enough for bluescreen.

>>172023389
Hardware is important for the performance but you're not supposed to get blue screen if you don't have good enough hardware, you'll get frame skips or sound desync
That might have something to do with the gpu drivers maybe
Web browser probably uses hardware accelerated decoding for YT, while OBS might use hardware accelerated encoding, so something blew up

>>172023330
You also can focus on scoring with more weapon types.
Look at CCWI... The game has a shitton of different attack ways, main shot/focus-shot, lock-on, lock-on spam, break mode mode, double break mode, smart bomb, point-planking, bullet cancelling, different ship types, etc. Yet the game still has very deep scoring system.

Reflex is just too simple.

>>172023652
Well, in Kamui scoring is literally using lock on almost exclusively, to the point where background enemies take precedence. Beam is reduced to a survival tool.

I like the gimmick with locking on falling ships, but it's as deep as Kamui's scoring system goes.

Not arguing against CCWI having a better scoring system though, but it was a Siter Skain games comparison originally.

>thought that DFK 1.5 was the busted version instead of 1.0
>have been playing 1.51

>>172023652
You can, but in this specific case most of the depth of the shield is only revealed when you score. As far as depth goes the shield in Reflex is way more deep than any one mechanic in AS or Kamui. If they gave you more reason to precisely reflect when playing for survival it wouldn't be any less engaging than the other two games since you'd still be making constant decisions on how to best use the shield instead of making decisions on which weapon to use.

>>172024105
>Kamui scoring is literally using lock on almost exclusively
That's not true. You still have to use main shot and beam a lot. Wether for survival or scoring.
Sure, for score you always try to get as many background enemies as possible, but you have to kill all enemies to get a really good score.

>>172024478
Most of the depth in these games is mostly revealed only when playing for score.
And it's bullshit to say that the lock-on in kamui would have less depth.
Being able to always get full lock-ons also has lots of depth.

I just think the game could need another weapon type. Perhaps some kind of hyper mode where you suck up all bullets on screen and reflect them at the enemy. Just anything.

>>172025336
It does have less depth, if only just because it integrates player positioning less than the shield does. Not that it means the game itself is less deep. You're right though another weapon type wouldn't hurt.

If you do smart rank control Boost should be a significantly easier survival clear than Original. The important thing is to plan your bombs and use them primarily for rank control to keep the bullet speed low and enemy patterns predictable rather than as a survival reaction, good points to rank bomb are after destroying a boss or a midboss or during otherwise bad stage sections such as the Stage 5 end parts. For survival the only downside of using a bomb is having the bomb line move further on the break gauge, but the line gradually returns to its position by re-entering break mode and spending a little time without bombing so you can still keep doing rank control bombs without a problem as long as you're not constanly holding down the bomb button.

t. dadregga credit feeder

Is there any way to play CCWI without it feeling like my finger on the lock on button is going to fall off? Constantly locking on the entire run is what puts me off from playing it more. I play on a pad and use Triangle for shot, Circle for break/bomb and L1 for lock on. Anyone know a comfortable config for pad or should I just play it on a stick? (already have one).

>>172031705
i never credit feed!

>>172031748
You could put shot on L1 and lock-on on Triangle to spam the lock-on with your thumb instead of your index finger.

I don't know why I never thought of putting show on a shoulder button, I'll give it a shot and if it doesn't work out just play on stick.

How many credits do you allow yourself on your first ever play of a shmup? I can justify 3 before I feel like I just need to go ahead and return to main menu

Usually 1 for the first few to determine whether or not it's something I feel like putting effort into. If it is I'll credit feed all the way several times.

Well it's not as polished as DBCS and doesn't have as many ships, but it's essentially the same game. Sometimes, especially in boss battles, the game slows down immensely. But it's cool, and it has different endings than the versions after it, so if nothing else it's worth playing for those at least, I think.
Sadly there's no English version of it though, so you'd probably have to look up a translation for the endings anyway.

Would you recommend starting out with a simple one, or should I just go balls deep? I'm happy with sticking with a single game for a long time and building up the skill, but I don't know if it's a waste of time to jumping into something that's going to fuck me straight away

>>172169932
If you want to clear it, you're going to have to go balls deep anyway. If a simpler game is more fun to you, I'd start with that one, but there's nothing stopping you from jumping straight into MF.Ultra and making that your first clear but your willingness to keep at it until you clear it.

>>172169932
The games you listed are very different from eachother. Danmaku Unlimited 3 features stage long chain grazing and difficult bosses. Mushihimesama is what I would call traditional. Ikaruga is weird and not very popular around here, you'll find a lot of people that don't like it but there are some ardent supporters. The polarity mechanic is a big part of the game and so killing enemies in specific color order combinations. All of these games have easy or novice difficulty options.

need i remind everyone that the chinks agreed, ikaruga is the worst shmup of all time?

>>172169932
I'm a rather shitty player, but I'd recommend against sticking with a single game for sake of "building up the skill" unless you really like the game, because you'll end up practicing game-specific mechanics and memorizing level layouts

Playing Perfect Cherry Blossom, first time with Touhou but light bullet hell experience. I'm currently playing on Hard, 3 hits, without using continues. Not generally making it past the second boss. Should I just keep grinding my face against it the way I have been? Start using continues just to see more of the game? Drop the difficulty? I'd like to be able to play on Lunatic eventually - if Normal will actually be helpful I'd be willing to drop it, but I'm used to games where Normal doesn't even begin to prepare you for harder stuff.

>caves banner on twitter shows akai katana
rly makes u think

>>172176826
Don't start yourself on Hard, Normal is a good place to start. From there you'll be able to work your way up to Hard and eventually Lunatic, it just takes time and practice.

>>172177674
when did cave become memelords

>>172176826
Normal is legitimitely the standard difficulty the games are designed around, with exra stages being somewhere between normal and hard in difficulty. Only easy mode will really handicap you for improving later on.

if you want to why not, but if you are new you should understand shmups aren't really about instant gratification. it may only take a few hours to 1cc novice but there are players around here that have needed 50-100 hours to 1cc arcade.

>>172184185
How do you approach the grind? Do you practice specific bosses/stages and get them down, or just allow yourself 1CC and bruteforce your way through slowly?

>>172186147
everyone has their own approach. if im picking up a game i will credit feed through it several times to see the content. then i'll practice individual stages that were giving me trouble over and over. then playthroughs to see any other specific parts that need to repeated and move on from there.

>>172185218
yes, it's very good

>>172186147

Interesting to watch and nice change of pace from the usual score runs.
I like all kinds of unconventional runs. Double play, no-bomb, or also things like clearing Radiant Silvergun with sword only.

>>172226138
it can be a decent survivalchallenge, especially in games like Touhou that give notoriously many resources, so it's a decent stepping stone before starting to score, since a shitclear wont prepare you for that at all.
In games with already sparse resources it doesnt seem to make much sense to do that instead of scoring right away though.
