So anyways, CCWI seemed pretty cool. Really flashy, maybe too flashy. I'm assuming that your eyes just get used to it after a while? Because there were several times when I could hardly see anything through all the explosions, items, and stuff flashing and flying everywhere.

I look forward to trying it again. That Mushi Maniac clear I haven't gotten yet is still nagging on my mind though, and there's also that GoMa event that I have to grind out this week too...

>>149970029

The bullets and enemies are visible enough, it's just a matter of practice to not get distracted by the other stuff.

>>149971473
Only time where things really become invisible is when entering break mode, then you often can't see what is going on right in front of you, but therefor you also completely annihilate everything in front of you.

>>149980519
every modern shmup must be played exactly once, for survival only, otherwise you will ruin it with your unnatural autistic scoring which is totally unimmersive and chiefly done by aspies that are missign the POINT, and a lot of discourse on how certain real sports are better than gaming in any form + certain other real sports

it ends with a call to make a shmup that wouldn't have scoring but would be still difficult. Impossible Spell Card?

>>149981034
>must be played exactly once
* 1cc'd exactly once, also no credit feeding ever.

>>149980025
There is absolutely no way someone published this.

>>149981034
Real sports are full of cheating PED using losers. It would be like everyone playing shmups on MAME and submitting savestated, slowed down, pieced together replays on hacked emulators and trying to pass them off as legit.

Video games are far more fair and competitive than any """"real""""" sport. :^)

scoring systems as those found in stuff llke Baftle Garegga or Mushihime-sama.
He does have a point with tjis though. Many scoring systems are really just fucking weird and arbitrary, but games like Ikaruga managed to make it somewhat feel more natural. Simple but effective, that's how scoring systems should be imo.

>>149982426
there's literally nothing natural about trying to carefully shoot 3 enemies at a time in a shooting game.

>>149982649
That's true, but this is also the only unnatural part about the scoring system in it, and it's kept very simple. Everything else in it fits perfectly to the in-game world of the game.

>>149982649
I think that's the best part about it. It is almost a throwback to when the shooting in shooting games was important. Now they're really dodging games more then ever.

>>149983590
I agree. Ikaruga is actually very similar to games like Space Invaders, where you also had to aim precisely and often careful fish out enemies for higher score.

>>149982649
>nothing natural about trying to carefully shoot
>in a shooting game
hmmmm... really makes you think...

>>149984414
People seem to think the more bullets you shoot the more the game is about shooting, while aiming is what shooting games really are about. This is probably also the reason why Clover_TAC doesn't see shmups as shooting games, but more like puzzl games, because they are mostly just about finding out the right dodging patterns.

>>149984703
Trying to play Crimzon Clover makes me bored, so I can say TAC and I never clicked in that regard. At least it only cost me 2 bucks on sale.

>>149970029
>I'm assuming that your eyes just get used to it after a while?
They do.

>>149985340
Crimzon Clover actually has some really nice *shooting* mechanic though. There you also have to carefully use your lock-on, which is also a form of aiming.

>>149985720
Or also finding out the perfect moments to enter break mode. This is also comparable to good aiming.

>>149985720
>>149985895
Yes, I was led to try it out for similar reasons. Well, I didn't refund it, so the fateful day may yet come.

>Are you seriously trying to tell me that scoring mechanics are the only way to increase a game's difficulty? - never mind the bestl
The guy really is a bit stupid. Of course scoring mechanics make the game more difficult than anything other, because if there were no scoring mechanics, everyone would just end up at the same place on the leaderboard after clearing the game. That's why scoring mechanics needed. To add another challenge for those who want more than just a clear.

>>149981034
The irony about this whole garbage is that he calls people who play for score autistic aspies "who waste their time and energy", but at the same time he basically wants that EVERYONE who plays shmups must play like these "asspies" in order to even finish a game.

If shmups would require superplay skills in order to even clear them, then shmups would have died a long time ago.

>>149994004
reading into icycalm's narcissistic drivel is a form of masochism, just don't do it

>>149995081
He does have some good ideas though. I for example agree with him, that stuff like loops, extra lives, or hidden bees, etc are silly. Shmups should be as immersive as possible, but they still should have a scoring system, because not everyone wants to play like SWY when playing a game.

Unfortunately I can't really give much advice on doing that. Alls I can say is that Follett probably has the hardest time doing that trick because she has a short-ranged projectile (I confirmed to myself last night that the flamethrower on her familiar DOES count as a projectile to do this trick with) that does a ton of damage.

My only advice would be that, on the offchance you're trying to do it with Follett, maybe try practicing it with a different shot type first until you get comfortable with how to do it. The timing on Follett's seems a bit more strict.

>>150014124
Oh, okay.

Well, now's as good a time as any for me to do this one Deathsmiles scoring writeup that I never did way back when. This one is no sort of tricky technique, but simply survival! Survival of the highest caliber in Deathsmiles.

First, a quick refresher on how the item counters work. When you collect items, the item counter in the corner rises from 0 up to 1000. After it reaches 1000, the game continues to keep track of a separate counter in the background called the Overall Counter. The Overall Counter starts when the regular counter hits 1000, and it goes from 0 up to 10,000. The Overall Counter can be seen as the "+[number]" that briefly appears when you collect an item while your regular counter is full or you are in Power Up mode. When the Overall Counter reaches 10,000, you'll see a brief orange "+10,000" next to every point item you collect, indicating that every point item you grab is now worth 10,000 point each.

The advantage of Power Up is that it drastically increases the amount which items add to your Overall Counter, allowing you to max out at 10,000 relatively quickly for big scoring opportunities. However, the Overall Counter does still accumulate even when you're not in Power Up mode and just sitting at 1000 on the normal counter.

Now, if you sit at 1000 on the normal counter and continue to collect point items, you will eventually (though MUCH slower than in Power Up mode) max out the Overall Counter and receive a +10,000 bonus for every point item collected, with no time limit! It's essentially like a perpetual power up mode in terms of the score bonus at that point.

File: 57245652_p2_master1200.jpg (161KB, 480x595px) Image search: [Google]

161KB, 480x595px

>>150017309
The downsides are as follows: One, it takes a hell of a lot longer to max out the Overall Counter without Power Up mode, and in many scenarios it's much less worth it than just using Power Up wisely to gain a lot of points in a short amount of time. Two, if you get hit (for a full lifebar of damage, half of one is okay) or use Power Up mode at any time, you'll lose the Overall Counter (immediately in the case of getting hit, or at the end of Power Up in the case of powering up).

This method of filling the Overall Counter without Power Up mode is frequently used by high level players during the Canyon stage and final Hades Castle. This is because each suicide bullet that is cancelled by your familiar counts as +1 point item to the counter/Overall Counter. With the massive amount of suicide bullets present in the Canyon/Level 3 Hades Castle, it becomes more worth it to simply accumulate an Overall Counter without powering up, and then having the perpetual +10,000 bonus. At this point, every point item grabbed and every single suicide bullet (!!!) cancelled will grant +10,000 points.

And again, the downside to this technique is that it means having to play through all of Canyon and Hades Castle without powering up or getting hit at all, lest you lose your Overall Counter. But if you can manage that, you'll be rolling in points!

To put it basically:

1. Max the item counter out at 1000
2. Do NOT Power Up
3. Continue collecting point items/cancelling suicide bullets until the Overall Counter maxes out at 10,000
4. Do not get hit or power up and you'll receive the +10,000 bonus for every point item/suicide bullet cancelled for the rest of the game, or until you get hit.
5. This strategy is best utilized with the Canyon and Hades Castle level 3 suicide bullets. The downside being that it's really hard to survive that entire time without getting hit or using power up.

No idea. I've been looking around the internet and it looks like the highest western Casper score I can find is a 298m non-canyon run. I think I can beat that, and in doing so perhaps I would become the best Casper player in the west? Ah well, it won't be easy. I do have some places I can improve my route, but I still have to do a lot of tinkering with it to find out what really works. 300m is a definite possibility at this point, though!

Mainly that the camera changes perspectives frequently, making it hard to know where the bullets are on the screen.

Sorry, was D&D'ing.

1.5 is really fun for survival, but scoring in it has the same issue as it does in Futari Black Label, which is to say I'm terrible at it.

>>150048983
1.5 is a mixed bag, original is wayyy to easy whilst original max is complete shit to play for score due to the slowdown being a janky inconsistent mess. 1.5 maniac is fun although still has the retarded tap to increase counter shite, 1.5 maniac max is a lot of fun, a challenging 1cc and afaik doesn't have as much of the tapping abuse. Ultra i don't have any experience with.

Stream is over, thanks for watching. I wound up trying a few new shmups tonight. Since we don't seem to have much discussion going on, I guess I'll give my first impressions.

Boogie Wings: Quite strange, but amusing. It felt like Metal Slug at times, but also with regular shmup style stuff for the plane. Well, except for grabbing and throwing enemies. I don't know what that felt like but it was fun.

Dragon Blaze: The dragon... throwing... shot thing is a neat mechanic, if a bit difficult to use efficiently. And as I said in the chat, I just couldn't get used to bombs that don't grant invincibility. Aside from that, it was pretty hellacious with all fast bullets and stuff. Seems like a pretty hard game, or at least one that you'd have to learn well.

Gunbird: See Dragon Blaze but skip the first line. Also Marion a cute. Kinda. That odd kind of cute where she seems like she'd be cute in fanart but is questionable looking in official art.

R-Type: This one's kinda not fair. It was the last game I tried and by that point I was pretty out of focus, so I sucked even worse than I usually would've. I should give this another try when I'm not exhausted, but at current I think I prefer Gradius for my horizontal space shooters. Music and art seemed good though.

Twinkle Star Sprites: I'm not very good at PoFV and I'm pretty bad at this. Vs. shmups may be fun with a friend, but against the computer it's just kinda... ehh.

Is that it? Hmm... I don't think I'm forgetting anything. Next time I'll have to try Strikers and maybe dabble in one of Cave's titles.

FUCK YOU CAVE. YOU SOLD SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI : IMAGINE TO SOMEONE WHO IMMEDITATELY SHUT IT DOWN YOU FUCKING CUNTS

So, top players from Mushi Arrange Leaderboards sometimes use W type in Formation and don't bother with full auto. I thought W type was weak.

>>150074189
The red dragon guys bomb grants invincibility.

>>150075719
>I thought W type was weak.
It is from a distance but it by far the most powerful when point blank. I just 1cced arrange this morning funny enough, comfy game bar the retard tlb.

>>150080436
I mixed up W and M types. I meant they were using M type fairly often. M is powerful in 1.5 but sucks in Normal game modes. What about Arrange?

>>150081057
Oh ok, im not sure desu I use M when i want to stay back on bosses but still do damage but how competent scoring players use it i wouldn't know.

to be fair though, I agree that people have much more potential than they think that they could unlock by putting a lot of effort into one game, it's just not generally true that 1k hours is enough to get a good score (depending on standards of course)

>>150087503
Do you, as a 2hu player, perhaps play with keyboard?
If I'd play with keyboard, I think I also couldn't get good.

I know there are people who can play with keyboard, but I seriously think this is not for everyone.

>>150088987
well it's not like there are somne people that can play with keyboard, I think the good keyboard players are actually outnumbering the pad players. I'm pretty sure it's not an issue of the input device, but jsut me being slow. It's not like I'm not making progress at all, it's just slower than most. I've never really used pad a lot and I don't think I would be more comfortable with it than with keyboard

Anyone knows if the Raiden III on Steam is any good? Most of the review sounds like they're complaining it wasn't remastered or anything

>>150096214
My controller wouldnt work with it so I refunded it. I've heard nothing but bad things

>>150096214
I heard they're all bad on Steam except Raiden IV. It's still on sale in that bundle but I've never played any Raiden and I don't know if it is for me.

As for me, I think I'm going to relax and play some more Etrian Odyssey 4. I beat the final boss, but the postgame dungeon is a real bitch so progress on that is pretty slow. Petrify is such a nasty status ailment...

If all goes well I should be attempting Mushi Maniac again either tonight or tomorrow.

According to >>150162064, she's saying "ぽ~ん" which is "Po~n". Perhaps it's meant to sound phonetically like "bomb", I guess.
