>deathsmiles 15000 sales
>mushihime 30000 sales
steam will save shmups, they said
there's millions of hardcore gamers dying to play hardcore games such as these on pc, they said
sign this petition for cave ports, they said
shmups are dead >>158829550
4chan will die soon according to the gook that runs the place
what will become of shmupg?
>>158829808
>will die soon according to the gook that runs the place
he is full of shit. just wants more donations, does the same shit with 2chan or whatever the fuck jap imageboard he owns. there was also a pic proving that running 4chan is far cheaper than he claims.
>what will become of shmupg?
if they really shutdown /vr/, i expect shmupg to gain at least few new posters.
>>158829550
crimzon clover sold 121008 copies, most of those are probably with high discount, but it's still pretty good. quality game + big discount = steam success. buggy weeb shit + shit discount = baaw shmups are dead.
>>158830294
i should also note that ccwi has zero fucking slow down, i think pc gamers hate slowdown more than anything else, even when intentional. so removing any slowdown would make cave shit more popular among pc crowd.
>>158829550
It doesn't cost that much to port, and say they've brought in $250,000 so far, probably cost them $100,000 max to port it they're in the green for DoDonPachi.
>>158829550
>buying touhou clone games
That's enough practice for me tonight. Canyon is going almost decently. I managed to clear the stage a few times tonight, which is an improvement over my previous practice sessions where I'd clear maybe once.
Good night /shmupg/, and good luck with your practicing too! Or your runs, if that's what you're doing.
>>158831179
Working on Super Metroid, taking a break from practicing. I can play this game over and over and never be bored.
>>158830294
cc was in bundles for $1, the sales dont mean much for that one. look at the players, there's only 60k. half the people who own the game didn't care enough to install it and play it a single time.
shmup = dead
pc = meme
so apparently bananacuck cleared Garrega after few days of practice only.
is everyone else disabled or is he really superplayer-tier superplayer? is Garrega difficulty a meme?
>>158831674
It's rated 26 on the shmup wiki. Not very hard for people who can score the highest difficulty games.
>>158831809
Gib link to shmup wiki please

he probably already knew the game inside out before even playing it

>>158832071
It's still iffy.
>11-20 "Medium Difficulty: mono of balance within reach of the hand in half a year, even from beginner"
Friendly reminder that you should have cleared a 20 ranked game if you've been playing for 6+ months.
>>158831917
>>158832075
Is it the same list as this pic related?
>>158831241
I've only played through Super Metroid once. I should take another run through it sometime.
>>158831518
lmao at this farm animal thinking i'm animal too.

>using chrome
>>158832187
this is retarded, what if someone will have 600 hours in 6 months and someone else 60.
>>158832379
Higher numbers = harder?
>>158833095
Yes, the Japanese don't know how ranking or 24 hour time work.
>>158829550
how is ccwi?
>>158829808
>4chan will die soon according to the gook that runs the place
huh, we have korean owner now?
>>158833289
cc wi numbers were literally on the second reply to the post senpai
>>158832379
Where is Truxton on this list? What is it rated as?
>>158833481
tatsujin, 20. 1st loop.
>>158833629
Sorry, I missed it. Where does the genesis version of it rank?
>>158833682
it's arcade only list. console versions are usually slower and hence easier.
>>158831674
>after few days
after grind game all days
How do people play vertical games on a horizontal monitor? Shit's way too tiny
>>158834740
i''ve been playing ccwi on a laptop just fine. it's not look you have to move between bullets that often, if you do, you are doing it wrong, but that depends on the game of course.
>>158830389
>so removing any slowdown would make cave shit more popular among pc crowd.
This, it's also completely fucking pointless and games should be designed without any when it's the pc platform.
>>158831674
>is everyone else disabled or is he really superplayer-tier superplayer?
He's a very good copy paster and would of studied low rank plays closely before mirroring what he has witnessed. High scoring is a different story entirely however and i have a feeling players like fagnanatragic are bad at dealing with random or maybe i'm wrong and he's just good but then he should be what with sitting at his computer 24/7.
Take that back apparently it took him 7 years so i stand by my prediction that he's poor when the game throws random and forces reflexes, The sames true of jaimers imo.
>>158834740
If needed I rotate the monitor physically
>>158836503
shit's too big, i can't see the whole picture. and if i sit back too far it's blurry becouse i'm near-sighted. there was a photo with cave employees playig poo revolver in horizontal, vertical is a meme.
>>158836904
Yeah sure that's why shmups are played on 29in vertical monitors at the arcade
>>158834740
i have no vertical monitor
>>158837230
everything has to be big and lound in the arcade or no one will notice your cabinet. that's why donpachi had talking nigger senpai.
Damnit, i fucking hate this. I cant even see any thread status.
>>158828773
Delet this
If downloaded that picture from previous thread, you should delete it and replace with a new one.I know there's at least one who did.
>>158841384
What's so different about this new one?
>>158841749
Fixed a whole bunch of squashed pixels, so now it doesn't look stupid when you zoom in on it.
>>158841896
Thanks for your hard work anon.Any possibility you might do any of the other bosses?

>The Mushi TLBs final attack shouldn't have any slowdown
That might be pretty tough
>>158831674
Congratz to him.
>is Garrega difficulty a meme?
No, but it's a massive pain in the ass with the medal dodging and pretty much mandatory suiciding for rank control (and some barely visible bullets don't help either). Good for those who can enjoy it, but i don't.
>>158832379
Is nemesis 1-ALL really that easy? GB port is easy, but i always though arcade is hard as fuck.
>>158847705
Nemesis is just Gradius but you get lots of power ups when you die, so you don't even have to no miss it
>>158848340
The rank is also more extreme
>>158846051
a worthy challenge for the pc master race.if it's THAT hard the simple solution is making bullets slower.
What a stupid game and waste time. Played over one hour, clear 10 loops maybe, reach 1 mil, but nothing happened.
>>158849874

>>158852364
dumb feelsposter. go practice.
>>158852656
I keep getting crushed by SA hard and the stage 4 boss in ketsui
I'll never gitgud. Some people aren't gud because they don't have the genetic talents.
>>158852048
maybe i already got wr, because no one plays this
>>158852364
system11 gays plays shumps over 5-10 years. You play around one year?
>>158853349
I used to play a little when I was like 16 or so (20 now). But not much. But I could get to stage 5 in ketsui with not a lot of practice
Trying to get back to it though and now these BIG DICK NIGGAS are on the scene, it's hard to cope with my inferiority.
>>158852827
just copy like a monkey if you are so shit. i bet gaymers and bananacuck are copying shit all the time. i bet they also practice far more than you.
>>158853457
>it's hard to cope with my inferiority.
just keep in mind that these people are tiny dicked sissy white boys compared to big jap cocks.
>>158853038
i'm sure someone in fakkuinnoassu prefecture reached loop 1488 in famicom version and thousands of japs still compete in arcade.

dodonpachi has also been out for less than a month and the other ones have seen big sales. id be more interested in knowing the sales numbers for the other games a month after their release.
>>158831674
>is Garrega difficulty a meme?
the whole game is really
>ps4 400$
>hori arcade stick 240$
>>158855204
>dodonpachi has also been out for less than a month and the other ones have seen big sales
Not to mention it had the highest launch price of all the Cave ports so far (which is justified by all the extra modes but it kept a chunk of impulse buyers away).
>>158856282
>2013
Dodging the TLB's final attack in CCWI is surreal. I cannot see my ship anymore so it's like playing invisible Tetris. And it actually works!
>already did my daily quota
>want to practice stage 4 boss in doopuchi for 10 minutes
>play for 50
fug, i wanted to watch some anime before bed
Just gave another try at 1.51.
Still not used to the hyper/bomb button. I'll really have to practice Stage 5's lasers part.
>when you want to play safe but unintentionally enter the harder alternative route
Halp
Dat OST though
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9iNJOhHJbw
>>158863995
black label has better ost all around desu
Actually got a rather good run for once.
Got only to 2nd midboss. Doing laserwheels with power is nightmarish.
>>158862378
1.51 is some weird stuff.
>>158863995
But the Ura midbosses are easier than the regular ones in DFK
>>158867295
How do i enter the Ura route? I know about the silos segment in stage 1 but i get thrown in and out of it later and i don't exactly what causes it.
Are there differences regarding how to enter it depending the modes or it's the same for all?
>>158868969
You exit it when you die. You can get back in by collecting all the bees 2 (I think) stages in a row
>>158869484
Thanks.
I barely see the bees with all the medals, bullets and lasers on screen.
>>158852364
any westy with high scores can rack up 1ccs left and right. normies don't understand that 1cc collecting a thousand games is extremely easy in comparison to scoring high in hard games.
>>158870058
>any westy with high scores can rack up 1ccs left and right
Any westy with high scores in a wide variety of games, that is. There are one trick ponies who have to grind a shmup for a million hours to get decent at it.
>>158871024
putting on a pedestal a player with no outstanding scores is one step away from literally sucking his dick on the merit of that dick being his
>>158870058
>1cc collecting a thousand games is extremely easy
don't say it
>>158872475
ok it's a bit tedious maybe
>>158831674
garegga took me a couple weeks of practice which isn't much considering i didn't have much experience with the genre then, banana has played for years now so it seems about right

At least you achieved something.
>>158870058
scoring is for autists.
>>158877393

>>158862378
Scratch that, i've to practice hard all of stage 4 and specially 3. I should first be able to consistently reach the final stage with at least three lives before tackling the magic wheels.
>>158864831

Do all bees give you bombs or only some of them?
Do these apply to 1.51 or are exclusive to 1.5?

There's no reason for a westy to play shmups for score desu. You could memerun and get 100x the attention and viewers on streams, get flown out to memerun events, fuck memerun groupies, etc. Only the most extreme autists will brush all of those perks aside to score arcade games when it's infinitely more difficult.
>>158898507
BATTLETOADS IS HARDER THAN SHMUPS!!!

i don't think memerunning itself is that bad, the problem is that 90% games they play are kiddy shit with no real challenge

Except probably better.
Garegga is a meme game

it's the biggest meme game of all tb completely h. 99% of the people who praise it never even got past stage 4 in a survival run

After the ps4 release the hardware will be obsolete as it's an old banned from sdcoring competition revision which ps4 revision fixes and has less lag.

Just get a 1cc and be happy.
>focusing on 1ccs
Just play for a few minutes, quit and be happy.
>>158929176
But I already do that anon.I only score once survival gets too easy and I still want to squeeze a bit more fun out of a shmup
>playing shmups
Just buy a JRPG and be happy.

Just kill yourself and be happy
Be happy
>>158929742
You can't tell me what to do.
Actually though, I wish I was happier playing shmups.
>>158929626
I did, just the other day. Disgaea 3. I've heard bad things about it. That must mean it's... good, right? That's how it works in this game? Bad is good? I think so.
which shmups have femdom?
>>158930313
Deathsmiles has Rosa on it
>>158930223
It's not bad per-se, but it is one of the weaker entries in the series. Rasberyl a cute.
>>158930313
>>158930725
Deathsmiles iOS also has Tiara.
>>158931256
Seems alright so far. I'm partway through Chapter 2, so I'm only at the beginning. Characters are a bit obnoxious but the gameplay is about the same so far.
>>158929176

Anyone else plan to play some Deathsmiles today?
>>158937940
Yes
Why is ship B considered to be cheese in scoring for both DFK 1.5 and Black Label? Are people stuck with C?
Darius saves the thread! Just like it saves STGs!
Are there any Steam shmups that are recommended to play for scoring? I kinda liked Mushihimesama but the way maniac and ultra works for scoring is shit.
I will play some Zombie Nation today. Also i tried Section Z on NES, game looks like huge labyrinth, required a lot of memorization. It will be long run for complete game without guides.

I wish Espgaluda 2 emulation wasn't such shit, game seems great
>>159000489around 20m
I'm still learning it and have been having fun optimizing my own routes instead of looking tryhard ones up yet, I'm close to a 1cc but not quite there yet
>>159003807
I don't like 2 as much just because of zetushikai, it's the kind of extreme screen canceling I don't like newer Cave titles for. I feel like Espgaluda is screen canceling done right, and I like how the disparity between kinda trying to score and super scorefagging isn't so exponentially huge as it is in the Dodonpachi series and Espgaluda II.
The game feels a little more contained and accessible that way, it doesn't you to look up routes to get your scores even remotely close to scoreboard numbers. It feels like I can just play it and have fun
>>159003505
All right, the stream is starting in just a minute. Gonna start the night off with some Canyon practicing, and then once I'm good and warmed up, I think I'll try full runs with Canyon for the first time!

I think I deserve to be a little smug, you didnt even bother to scan the boss for god's sake.

That's a shame, you were around 75% done with the game.

Finally got to EoSD's bad end #1. How necessary is routing and memorization? I usually just wing it and can get to Meilin without getting hit.
>>159025686
Considering that Meiling's and Patchy's spellcards are mainly RNG you simply need to learn how to dodge.
>>159025686
the stages can mostly be done with simple routes, so you should learn those. The bosses in eosd are known to be quite random
good lord why does life suck so much
There's so little I want to to do and so little I want to see. I'm not even in the mood to play shmups or videogames in general anymore and just sit in my room because there's nothing in this world for me
>>159025686
I'd advise you to memo the enemy positions of stage 4 and stage 5 as they can fuck you over if you don't know what you're in for. EoSD is generous with resources so don't be afraid of throwing bombs away. Bosses have very random patterns so either practice them specifically or plan bombs for the patterns you have difficulty with

So are these shit games only about memorizing videos that you watch on youtube or am I missing something?
>>159037458
100% right
>>159037458
>>159037458
Depends on the game. Some can be rather strict about memorising like R-Type
why Jaimers has no garegga video
>>159037458
They are about memorization, execution, and strategy. You won't be able to memorize and execute everything you see on Jewtube, so you have to mix it mostly with your own strategies.
i hooked my pc to crt tv through converter and it's quite good, the image isn't anywhere as sharp as on lcd, but it's easier on the eyes and i can finally make out shapes of moving objects, everything that moved was super blurry on my shit lcds, and bullets of blue color blended in with white background, now they are very distinct. if you sit close it will look too blurry, but i can even play verticals while laying back wtih telly at my feet. the biggest plus however, is that low-res games like a lot of astro port shmups look billion times better than on lcd, too bad my phone's camera is shit an i'm shit at taking photos.

What's the deal with Marisa? I thought she was supposed to trade off Reimu's range for damage, but the needle has way more DPS. Am I missing something?
>>159066904
Sorry dess, just been busy withcollege shitlately. Almost done tho.
>>159066904
Oh, okay then.Sounds like fun.
holy shit, report all these anime shitposters
>>159066868
Which game? And I think the Reimu Needle shot type typically has a bomb that does shitty damage or something, that might come into account for the tradeoff as well. But moreso I think it depends on the game.
>>159067337Totally understandable. go get that college 1cc and high score.
Up
>>159067747
EoSD, although Sakuya's attacks seem to deal less damage than the needle shot in PSB as well. Haven't really tried out Marisa in that one, though.
>>159072164
Ah. I'm fairly certain that MarisaA is the strongest shot type in EoSD in terms of DPS. ReimuB might be stronger than MarisaB in exchange for Marisa's piercing lasers though, I'm not sure.
SakuyaA's shot in PCB is relatively weak, but the homing on her focus shot is nice for bosses, and her focus bomb is great. Overall SakuyaA is probably the best for survival play. ReimuB's shot type may be stronger but her bomb is significantly worse aside from that one specific instance against the Prismrivers, and she gets less bombs per life to boot. I'm not terribly familiar with either of Marisa's or SakuyaB.
>>159072164
>>159073076
marisaA is the strongest ant high distance, for pointblank reimuB ist stronger which you can abuse quite a lot. Overall reimuB probably just comes out as the stronger shot, though mariA does have some unique strengths

I also don't know the scores for the MBL contest. There's no way to see dates on the leaderboards without downloading replays one by one, so I don't know what is or isn't submitted within the allotted time for the contest.

Is it typical for a shmup to have a tutorial explaining its unique scoring mechanic? Or is that sort of thing only talked about in the "digital manual" or homepage online? What would actually be preferred do you think?
>>159109851
Depends, something like Bakraid or Gayregga would be much better on a strategy guide, while Dodonpachi's scoring could be explained in a short tutorial I think.
what did they mean by this?
>>159112454
It seems to be a message of sorts, calling out to a person named "Darius".
>>159042187
You just claimed that the only reason to avoid acting as a monkey that imitates what he's watching on YouTube, the ONE reason to bring "strategy" in the equation is to suck dicks at memorization.

>>159182441
Well, I like to go for the clear first. I want to reap the satisfaction of being one of the 0.6% who have cleared Crimzon Clover on Steam (even, and especially as that figure makes no sense to me).
It's more cost-efficient compared to playing CCWI like it is your new job and your new religion and then ending up somewhere in the top 20 on the leaderboards.

Are you using button 3 for autofire right? also use type b
A neonazi videogame philosopher was teaching a class on Tsuneki Ikeda, known mobile phone game developer
”Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship CAVE and accept that they are the most highly-evolved shooting game developer the world has ever known, even greater than Raizing!”
At this moment, a brave, japanese superplayer who had 1cc'd 1500 touhou games on lunatic and understood the necessity of doujin games and fully supported all development decisions made by ZUN stood up and held up a burned subterranean animism CD.
”How hard is this game, pinhead?”
The arrogant CAVEfag smirked quite Jewishly and smugly replied “it's a joke, you stupid weeaboo”
”Wrong. It’s been 10 years since ZUN created it. If it was so easy, as you say… then you should have beaten it on lunatic by now”
The CAVEfag was visibly shaken, and dropped his ketsui JAMMA board and copy of orgy of the will. He stormed out of the room crying those butthurt CAVEfag tears. The same tears they cry for CAVE (who today live in such luxury that most of their games are on steam) when they jealously try to claw justly earned praise from the deserving indie developers. There is no doubt that at this point our professor, Icycalm, wished he had pulled himself up by his bootstraps and practiced his streaming. He wished so much that he had a car to crash himself from embarrassment, but he himself had totaled his vehicle in an illegal street race in sweden!
The students applauded and all downloaded the touhou games that day and accepted Reimu as their lord and savior. A hell raven named “Okuu” flew into the room and perched atop the Gensokyo Flag and shed a tear on the chalk. The touhou manga were read several times, and the Hakurei God himself showed up and enacted spell card rules across the country.
The philosopher lost his tenure and was fired the next day. He died of the greek plague Thalassemia and was tossed into the subterranean sun for all eternity.

And now that I said that, they're gone. I clicked the link and it was just normal. I went to the open tab I still had with the skeletons in it, refreshed it, and it was normal. I just went to /c/ two minutes ago and found the skeletons there, but now it's just gone. Aaaaaaaaaa.

>do i need the v1.5 thing for Mushihimesama at all?
It's another game mode so you don't really need it, but if you can afford it i recommend to get it along the base game and the OST to save money. Unless you prefer to only buy the game and if you like it enough buy the pack with all the DLC later.

I almost feel bad for him for falling for the indie meme but he deserves everything he got.
>Sure, we can redirect them to the older, deeper and harder games, but not only is this a turnoff to many, we can't rely on that forever
Gee, i wonder why.
Maybe most new players don't really care about super complex autistic scoring systems and would rather just have fun for a few dozen hours instead of spending 2000 hours trying to get a higher score than a 40yo jap NEET with all the time in the world?
Cave waifus are tacked on and bad, unlike touhou where they are an integral part of the experience.

Translation: "Nowadays I barely give a shit about shmups beyond their potential as tools for masturbatory indirect competition. I care more about comparing my e-peen with others like me than the games being fun to play".
Huh, I actually feel it all coming back. Somewhat.
>>159272471
Cave waifus are tacked on but make great eye candy. They also make weebs in denial and insecure people uncomfortable with their hobby and prompt them to go back to failing Battle Garegga for 30 minutes before calling it the greatest achievement of civilization on anonymous boards.
Give me ONE reason I should practice playing shmups over and over and aim for the 1cc instead of just playing for fun and just credit feeding.
>>159276313
But anon, dont you want the true ending?
>>159276313
It's a reasonable goal that can extend the fun you can get from an arcade game without having to spend a massive amount of time or disecting the game to obsessive levels.
>>159276313
credit feeding removes tension and feeling of accomplishment, it basically turns any game into brainless button mashing. which is unfun to be fair.
if you don't find improving skills and learning stuff fun, maybe shmups and arcade games are not for you and you better get back to your safe space collecting J-RPG
Why is our general called /shmupg/ instead of /stg/?
Especially since the most memed games here don't allow more than three letters in names.
>>159278023
Because we don't want to get meme called /std/
I don't care about scoring systems. But then again all the STGs I play have simple and fun ones anyway...
I can get behind chaining enemies in Donpachi or using shit like the beams, bombs or whatever in Darius to rack up points, because it requires assessment and strategising to find optimal spots and timings for these. But when the rules are really really obtuse to the point that you practically need a guide, perhaps written by the devs themselves, I don't really get the point.

>>159283219
Or figure it out yourself. Guides have to be made by someone.

yes but it comes down to the same complexity
>>159283017
I had fun playing a doujin shooting game called Kafra STG when I wasn't into shmups and its scoring shits. Now I never had fun anymore since I focused on scoring, especially with CCWI. I can't even enjoy a simple retro game like Gradius anymore. Scoring is cancer, all score fags who forcing their idealism to other must be gassed, and arcade faggots as well!

Have fun spending 20000 hours of trial and error to discover on your own the same tricks and spots other people collectivelly found about by playing and watching replays.

it's not like you have much choices in high level play
it's a single optimal route, and replays just have it mostly already layed out for you
not using them would be just a waste of time
>>159285861
>expecting anything less from braindead farmers
>>159285896
Not him but not all games have a single optimal route due their level of randomness or lack thereof. It is true however you'd save a lot of time by finding certain things by watching replays or reading about them than on your own.
>>159286181

Hm...
It feels a bit weird that DBCS is getting so much DLC and crossover stuff. I mean I love the game, but I never expected Darius to be the one to do this kind of thing, to become such a huge monster of a game that other companies with their STGs would want or need to be a part of.
I remember hearing about Dariusburst on PSP in '09 and feeling gutted about it not coming over to the West. Times have changed.
Darius was dead for 12 years! The arcade version also never really made it either obviously. Then DBCS came, and after 17 years of nothing, we finally get a new Darius in the West!
I thought it was gonna be a quiet release for fans and enthusiasts only, and it was really. But it's getting so much support still.
I always felt that Darius was underrated because it's just so different (and avant-garde!) and others like Gradius and R-Type were always just way more popular. But now it's the only one that's still alive, and it's kinda getting its (or rather, another) big break!
>>159190263
just bomb like a mad cunt. use states to understand pattern, don't shoot but just try to dodge and eventually you'll get it.
the most tiring thing about shmup farm is seeing trash players speak like they have any authority or credibility. sometimes it's almost funny seeing them argue with top westies. why can't people just learn their place?
>>159285861
I'm not american so i'm not too concerned with their incoming election but tbqh there is no such thing as a political candidate that represents the best choice for literally everyone.
Whether a candidate is better or worse than another depends for everyone based on many factors (such as their personal economic position and how it works or their beliefs, which can greatly differ from person to person), and everyone votes whoever they believe will better fit their own personal interests.
If you believe Trump is your best choice (which may or may not be) then vote for him, and the same goes for those who choose Hillary.
>>159288873
You know what's funnier? Compared to the best japs they're all trash players.
>>159289312
that's true. any westy worth his salt however treats not only the best japs, but every high level jap of a similar level with the utmost respect. then you go to the farm and see awful players who have no respectable scores despite posting there for years and years acting like their opinions mean anything.

The fact that someone with a legit bodycount like Clinton can even still be in the race is a joke. I mean the entire thing is a joke really, both candidates being well, candidates speaks volumes about the intelligence of the average American.
And the thing that fucks me off the most is that they have to bring it everywhere. Watch LPs, funny videos or whatever on youtube, listen to music, some stupid fucking SJW faggot has to make a jab at Trump and then come the other SJWs and circlejerk each other off with their lame jokes. And then eventually also come the racists and neo-nazis who go off the deep end in their own retarded ways by being uncivilised hooligans with extreme paranoia and all their valid points get drowned out by their incessant shitflinging.
