BG has terrible pacing and worse boss designs though.

Espgaluda is also one of the greater shmups on the market too. I really like the visuals and intricate scoring mechanincs.

In Japan, gamers tend to use English three letter abbreviations for game genres. Don't ask me why, although it's probably an old habit picked up from Famitsu magazine.

In any case, STG is ShooTing Game. Much in the same way that FTG is FighTing Game and RTT is a RealTime Tactics game.

They're a weird bunch over there.

They're named STG after the first assault rifle.

It's also one of the easiest Cave STGs if you're playing for survival (except the final boss), and only has one loop, so it's good for beginners. You should be able to 1CC it. Remember to bomb manually, autobomb wastes a lot of bomb meter.

Played this on original arcade hardware.

So fucking good.

>>3680189
But Ikaruga seriously is the best shmup, the fact that this pisses some people off or that people say it to troll doesn't change that.

I love Battle Garegga as much as the next danmakutard, but Batrider just has so much content and I prefer the bosses.

>>3680472
I bought the special edition and I don't even own a PS4 yet.

I have to agree OP, no perfect stg exi-

>>3680771
More content doesn't necessarily mean better.

Especially Bashinet. Fuck that guy.

>>3680106
I could never 1CC Espgaluda II, but I unlocked Omake mode and I 1CCed it on my first try. Does this mode count?

>>3680868
Galuda 2 is a LOT harder than the first one.

>>3680472
Yep! Bought it real quick that I was in the top 10 on the arcade leaderboard for a hot second. But I'm actually quite dogshit at the game so it equaled out last night to Top 200. But out of like ~900!

>>3678110
If I could let an arcade machine have my kids or make me have it's kids...it would be batrider's

>>3680828
You're correct that it doesn't necessarily mean better, but I don't have any real complaints with the game that aren't problems introduced with MAME or by how bad I am.

The ost in the game is pretty hot
