Welcome to /shmupg/!
This general is for discussing all STG/SHMUP (shooting-type/shoot 'em up) games! Think R-Type or Gradius if you're not sure.
NEWS : Mushihimesama released on Steam! Buy this shit if you want to support future releases!

>Where are the pastebins, Eggman?
I'm going to start this shit from the ground-up. Feel free to help argue and swing your dick around on the following topics :
Best horizontal SHMUP
Best vertical SHMUP
Best beginner SHMUP
Localized SHMUPs
First for great music and waifus.
Second for only genre selling piss
>>122120864
Post best OSTs.
I enjoyed Thunder Force a lot when i was a kid. Then after many years of not playing shmups i got back in them with Dodonpachi Daioujou.

What are the most popular SHMUPs that are still being played, /shmupg/? Just getting into them.
If you are new to the genre and or would like to know more about it here is a pretty good documentary about the history of shmups, showcasing a lot of the most noteworthy games of the genre, the minds behind them, the players and more:

Why is Hibachi a loli and not a murderous bee robot?
>>122121539
>that are still being played
For what purpose? You don't need other players unless planing on bro-op
>>122121539
Touhou would be the most popular by far.
>>122121708
Don't ask. Just go with it. Then again I still have mixed feelings about this.
>>122121731
High score dickswinging competitions obviously, brah.
>>122121539
Mushihimesama
DoDonPachi
Ketsui
Deathsmiles
Crimzon Clover
Battle Garegga (somehow)
ESPGaluda
Batrider
Ibara
ProGear
>>122121708
A murderous bee robot elicits violent impulses from the players, while a murderous loli makes players want to subdue her thru tender and affectionate loving.
>>122121708
Well she can still transform into the murderous bee robot, but the reason is because this hibachi was made to be a nice girl that would protect humanity with hugs and love.
What is your favourite Dodonpachi?
I have to go with the first one, the tune when starting the game and killing your first enemies is legendary.
>>122122175
DOJ and the first one.
Are there any shmups that aren't all about chaining and combos and bullet hell? I want to ease in gently. I can't handle Mushihime yet.
We should also have a SHMUP of the Thread each thread that we can play for funsies.
>>122120489
>Best horizontal SHMUP
The Gradius saga.
>Best vertical SHMUP

Deathsmiles.
>>122122546
>Are there any shmups that aren't all about chaining and combos and bullet hell?
Yes, tough you'd want to look at the classics
Best NES Exclusive SHMUPS (no arcade ports, since you're better off playing something like Gradius on a different platform)
Summer Carnival 92 Recca
Crisis Force
Gun-Nac
Abadox
Over Horizon
If anyone knows any good or entertaining shmup youtube channels or videos please post them.
>>122123341
http://www.youtube.com/user/xoxak/videos
>>122122546
Games like Gradius, Raiden, R-Type, Dariusburst etc would fit that bill I believe.
>>122122175
Easily DaiOuJou is my favorite DoDonPachi. At least until I play DaiFukkatsu and SaiDaiOuJou.
>tfw you reach Evaccaneer Doom the first time after lots of practice in ura loop
Feels good man. Anyone else have a good feeling when reaching any true final bosses for the first time?

It's gonna be slow, anon. We need to shill in /vr/ too; they have a shmup general sometimes but it always gets pushed off the board.
Gotta consolidate all the shmuppers. I'm going to make some emulator/rom bundles soon too so people can just grab and go.
Later gens all seem like ports and have way more games so I'm struggling a bit to pick out the Saturn/DC/etc exclusives.
>>122121539
Right now I and over 6000 more people are playing Mushihimesama.
If you're interested in starting a game with a lively community i think it's one of the best choices since it's currently getting many newcomers to the genre.
Touhou is very popular too, although game discussion is usually overshadowed by secondary talk. If you don't mind people constantly fawning over characters you should check /jp/'s game threads like this one >>>/jp/14279695
>>122127943

>>122121539
Just look at the leaderboards for active shmups. The French shmup-forum and System11 have the best Western leaderboards.
>>122124034
>>122124617
3rd Ketsui player reporting in. Going for a 2-ALL + a high-score. I did pic related a couple of days ago. It was a NB run where I died on Evaccania. My max route potential for the 1st loop is around 230-240m, it's pretty hard to do though. I need to practice it some more.
I remember there being a couple more Ketsui players on /vr/.
>>122127943
/vr/ shmup generals never get pushed off. If anything they just reach bump limit. /vr/ is one of the slowest boards on 4chan. And I already told them that Mushi got released in the latest shmup thread.
Also, fuck yeah for the revival of shmup generals.
>>122129017
But Garegga is better as ARC. Why play a knock off version?
Stick, pad or kb?
>>122129335
Does the arcade version have the option of changing the enemy bullets so they're more visible?
>>122129382
I play with pad just for my personal comfort and also because I'm kinda poor. I'd likely use an arcade stick. Maybe I'll scrounge up some shekels and build a hobo one.
I'm contemplating configuring JoyToKey for ChoRenSha so I can have autofire. I know the creator frowns on autofire, but I'm going to give myself carpal tunnel at this rate.
on mushihimesama should i start on original difficulty or skip straight to maniac?
i've been able to 1cc touhou games on normal with some effort if that gives you an idea of my skill level.
death to waifufags
What's the most effective training routine?
>do all stages separately every day, then try full runs when you're comfortable with
>do full runs every day, credit feeding until 1cc + score you want
>>122129767
Original.
Touhou ain't shit compared to actual shmups.
PLEASE READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY:
http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?t=1896
and specially this http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?t=4049
>>122129767
Original novice it's a great way to start getting into the game if you don't have a lot of prior experience with Cave shooters.
>i've been able to 1cc touhou games on normal with some effort if that gives you an idea of my skill level.
Touhou games's difficulty vary depending the title, but you shouldn't start with maniac unless you feel really confident.
>>122130551
Credit feeding is never a good idea. It teaches you bad habits. It's okay to do it once just to clear the whole game so you have an idea of what the bosses are going to be and what enemies there are, but after that, don't touch them credits.
Or at least limit yourself. When I'm new to a game and not gunning for 1cc, I still try to keep it to 5 and under.
If I'm feeling MAXIMUM SCUM, I usually play shmups on MAME, so I'll save-state at the beginning of each stage so I can practice the whole stage without having to replay level 1-whatever.
>>122130765
>novice
I already tried that, it's boring as hell for the first couple levels, i don't want to fall asleep before there's any real challenge.
I beat touhous Scarlet Devil through Subterranean Animism, I'll keep trying original for a while longer.
>>122129382
Just choose whichever you're comfortable with. We have skilled players using all of those so just choose whatever you like.
>>122129767
Start playing Original and if that feels too easy for you switch to Maniac. You can also start playing on Novice Mode regular mode is too hard.
>>122130020
Take it easy.
>>122130927
Creditfeeding is good for practice purposes though.
So for someone who is learning Mushihimesama, what power should I stick with? I like M a lot personally but I see a lot of people go with W.
Should I go with W too? I'm aiming for 1CC
>>122130551
That depends on the player's preferences.
The idea is that the player has to have as much as he can, so he should play in whatever manner he feels more comfortable.
I don't follow a specific routine but what i found to be the most optimal for me is the following:
>when starting a new game go for an easy or easier difficulty and after managing to 1cc it go for the next dif. option.
>Don't use continues until i reach the latter stages. Then either use the training option for them (if available) or start doing runs credit-feeding in order to learn faster (and not having to deal with the annoyance of redoing the first stages).
>Approach regular runs as an opportunity to learn and get better without pressure. Do 1cc attempts from time to time.
>Try to not play more than an hour a day.
>Care about the score but don't get obsessed with it.
>>122131942
W is far too slow, imo. You have to have super memory autism and start moving before the projectiles even occur.
M is probably the best for a normal player.
>>122131942
You should go with the one that feels right for you.
Even if another type is agreed to be more effective for certain means, you'll only get good if you keep playing, and for that you need to have as much fun as you can.
Does the ship in ChoRenSha have a name? I'm autistic about these things.
>>122129382
Keyboard, pad or arcade stick depending the system (and place) i'm playing them on.
>>122133230
I love Cho Ren Sha. But I don't think that ship has a name. Took me a little bit of anger to finally beat the true final boss since the last phase gets pretty random.
>>122133554
Did you fingerbang the fuck out of that shot button or did you autofire?
>>122131296
>I beat touhous Scarlet Devil through Subterranean Animism
Excellent, you'll do fine.
Just expect Stage 5 to be quite challenging.
>>122133828
Finger bang. There's an autofire button? If I only I knew that sooner.
>>122134537
No, there isn't. The creator frowns upon it, but you can use JoyToKey and other shit to make autofire.
>>122131942
Whichever you have more fun with anon.
All shot types are viable for a 1CC.
W shot is the one you'll see most often though as its really the only one suitable for scoring.
I need game trailers and reviews. Post them.
>>122120983
https://youtu.be/Zds074t6lf0
Espgaluda plays pretty easy after some Mushi with its super fast bullets. Just reached the final boss on 1 credit for the first time. Spent another whole 2 credits on its final form and still couldn't beat it. What a fucking letdown.

>>122131942
W-power is actually the best since it has the highest concentrated firepower in the game when point-blanked, but it requires absolute mastery since you can't move as quickly.
I use M-power in Ultra/Arrange and S-power in Original to 1CC. When scoring, it's always W-power.

That's a slippery slope you're standing on.
Are there any other bizarre shmups like In the Hunt where you're not a jet fighter in the sky/space?
>>122140618
There's no slippery slope.
Although not everyone likes every shmup, waifus are waifus.
We should all get along no matter which games one prefers. This is the SHMUP/STG general so every game that falls in that category belongs here, Touhou included.
>>122141112
Yeah, but please remember to make Touhou a secondary focus. Touhou has its own board, and this should cater more to the REST of the STG franchises. I don't mind talking about 2hu here either but it shouldn't turn into a 2hu waifu shitposting general.
>>122141409
As long as people remain civil it should be fine. That goes for people from both fences.
Nothing wrong with posting waifus in moderation. Just let's not forget to talk about different shmups to not stagnate.

When trying to get better at shmups do you anons think it is better to gradually move towards the harder difficulties or to just jump straight into the deep end?
I've 1cc'd 2hus 6-13 on hard and I thought I would transition to lunatic on DDC but I've hit a wall between the third and fourth stages and now I'm not sure if I should just persevere or go through it on a lower difficulty first.

>>122150523
It really depends on what level player you are. Sometimes toughing it out is the only way to improve, other times it's better to play on a lower difficulty. Try practicing the stages that you're having trouble with for a couple of days/weeks, and if you're still not consistent at them by then, then lower the difficulty.
The better you become as a player, the harder it will get to improve.

Aye, I'm one of them, I cleared it once again a couple of days ago. Miserably failing at evaccaneer really stupidly, I was holding max lives and 3 bombs in stock and for some dumb reason I died once by a little popcorn tank at the end of stage 5 and then failed twice during evaccaneer and bombed again. Still I don't really have time now to keep playing as often, irl problems are getting heavy, maybe at the end of december I'll get the 2-ALL.

Are there any shmup makers?
>>122163151

>>122163151
There's this too:

>>122163151
Dezaemon Kids + ePSXE would let us make shmups and trade them easy.
>>122129382
Depends. Arcade-y stuff (Darius, Raiden, Cave stuff) I play with a gamepad, but home release stuff (Kamui, Hydora, that one Japanese series everyone gets triggered by) I use keyboard.

What does /shmupg/ think (if you've even heard of) pic related? I found it used in fucking Gamestop for 2 dollars. Aside from poor sub-weapon balance and the stylus blocking your view sometimes (can only move through the touch screen) I though it was pretty solid.
>tfw when clearing Novice Maniac on Mushihimesama doing a casual attempt to test out vsync
This is the greatest feeling. Can't wait to finally be out of Novice, it's actually been really helpful so far.

This is news to me, what's it's name?
>>122169547
iirc Nano Assault, eshop only
>>122169650
Looks more like some kind of spiritual-spin off. What a shame, I would have loved a 3DS Nanostray.Also on a side note, the same guys that made Nanostray are making Fast Racing Neo. I dont know why but that struck me as odd.
>>122169346

>>122171937
I don't know a whole lot about Steam api but something tells me you need to buy it.
>>122171937
I remember some other people complaining about this on launch. See if you can find the patches.

Don't do that, you can recover from silly mistakes

with that mentality maybe you should try call of duty
Hope that cave/degica will port Deathsmiles and Ketsui next, mushihimesama is still fun but it's just missing something.

Has anyone tried that game from last comiket with the teleporting mechanic?
>>122179593
Zangeki Warp?
I wish Stage 3 wasn't such a bag of dicks.
Not resetting 95% of runs would help, too.
>>122166551
Pretty good game with fun levels. The bosses are a bit shitty though. Very tanky and repetitive. Also game's way too damn long.
Good morning, /shmupg/!
>>122177121
The reason why I don't practice DOJBL from first loop anymore.
>>122175283
Mushi 1.5 has been rubbing by point-blanking nub, and I am probably gonna focus on them once I am done with DOJBL.
>>122163151
There's a Japanese freeware one, but I don't think the documentation is translated. Some example games would be Ex Extra. I also think
Danmakufu is also possible, but pretty strict in what you can make ( as in Touhou-clones, mostly ). You can bend it pretty impressive amount though to make them non-Touhou I sure did during Danmakufu competitions
Gamemaker works well, too, I suppose.
There's also option of writing your own game. I am currently thinking of writing another one in C#.
>>122159902
i will fight this
>>122139786
Panzer Jager
>>122124034
Reaching DOJBL Hibachi on actual run felt amazing.
As much as I like point-blanking, Ketsui has rubbed me lot in wrong way and I haven't played it in ages...
https://youtu.be/sQZuidKexBQ
Is it true /shmupg/? Is this the hardest video game boss ever?
>>122180641
B-but Panzer Jager is a boy!
>>122181579
no, Inbachi is way harder:
https://youtu.be/cujHIkGRT7U?t=1565
But technically I suppose that double Hibachi would be the hardest but that's only because you have no lifes for that fight.
>>122181579
Back when video was released it was true, although I don't think uploader knew it.
Futari Ultra is insane and Larsa is stupidly difficult. It's a marathon of a battle.
>tfw cannot stop playing 1.5
So we can agree that 1.5 is the base game, right?
>>122181579
>>122181972

imo at the level of cave tlbs comparing difficulty gets kinda silly, because they're all just resourcesinks

Jokes on you, I don't even have a mobile phone
>>122184098
How does one even play shmups on mobiles?
>>122184262
Played them on emulator anon
why would you gimping yourself by covering the unit with your thumb
>>122184262
>>122184319
>>122184327
Most people just use Bluestacks/*insert your favorite android emulator here* and play it on their PC. Also lots of mobiles offer controller support. I can usually plug a controller into my tablet without any problem.
Also, even if you do want to play with the touch screen, you don't have to cover the unit (and why the fuck would you use your thumb oh god), most of them let you touch and hold anywhere as the point and it autofires from there. I played a lot of Strikers III this way and it was fine. I usually just hold directly below the ship so I can still see where my hitbox is and I have no issues.
>>122184327

>>122184839
I'm always such a jew with my bombs as well.
I think I need to use them before it's an "oh shit" situation, because usually when the "oh shit" situation happens, I'm dead.

You can get it on 3DS Virtual Console these days.
>>122185110
Very much so. But it was put out in North America on 3DS for the eStore in September 5, 2013, so it got a mild resurgence of interest.
You don't need a lick of English to play the NES version though and it's surprisingly fast for an NES game.

DOJBL, Mushihimesama ( 1.5 mostly )
>>122187091
Too bad Ibara port wasn't very good.
DOJ had DL mode as well, which hasn't been in any other port.
>>122182475
Some are still more difficult than others. Some earlier bosses ( like DOJ Hibachi and Aki ) are at least are exploitable in some manner, while DOOM is bit more reasonable.
Newer fights are longer and don't really have such exploits ( outside of DFK Hibachi 1.0 and Spiritual Larsa ).
Ultra Larsa is just absurdly long fight.
Holy shit this thread is still alive. Looks like this general could survive a while.
>>122184984
>My first 1cc EVER!
Hey congratulations, man
>>122188081
>while DOOM is bit more reasonable.
You're kidding me right? Doom is so easy compared to actually getting to the fucking tlb in my opinion.
Anyone got artbooks?
>>122129162
>3rd Ketsui player reporting in. Going for a 2-ALL + a high-score. I did pic related a couple of days ago. It was a NB run where I died on Evaccania. My max route potential for the 1st loop is around 230-240m, it's pretty hard to do though. I need to practice it some more.
>I remember there being a couple more Ketsui players on /vr/.
Yeah man i'm one of them and holy shit your loop 1 is getting strong scoring wise, I get around 20 mill less but qualify for omote very frequently, yesterday i died at the end of loop 1 with literally a few shots left, would of been my first time into ura... oh well it'l come! Atm i'm purposely taking safer loop 1 routes to make the more frequent occurrence of loop 2 a bit more familiar for when dat run happens, fuck nerve choking shit up all over the place. Current pb is 2-4.
>>122129382
>Stick, pad or kb?
I played stick for 4/5 years and switched to pads in the last couple with which i've destroyed all my old scores and feel more comfortable with in general so yeah whatever you feel best with. Fyi my pads are a ps1 pad that i modded (melted the cross across the dpad out and sanded the surface of that side back to make the dpad pad way more raised and maneuverable, working a treat!) An ascii ps1 pad and a Ibuffalo snes usb pad.
>>122129767
>on mushihimesama should i start on original difficulty or skip straight to maniac?
Well play both because they both score completely differently and play differently to, basically original is fast aimed bullets ala raiden/toaplan more classic and maniac is more typical danmaku.
>>122144596
>My nigga. Is there a boss rush mode in Kizuna Jigoku or am I retarded?
No there isn't only ketsui on nintendo is basically boss rush. Personally i'd give a left bollock to play the ketsui campaign version that was just 1 loop with doom with the loop being increased in difficulty.
>>122151127

>>122180641
>Mushi 1.5 has been rubbing by point-blanking nub,
Mine to i've cleared 1.5 a couple times and tried a few scoring efforts, its fucking mental and to think ppl can get over a billion when i'm lucky to get 140 mill.
>>122182412
>So we can agree that 1.5 is the base game, right?
I had mushi on ps2 years ago and always thought it was lacking also fuck the tard tapping on maniac and ultra. 1.5 feels like the game it should of always been, such a massive improvement. Max modes are boners.
>>122129382
Stick for me because of the sheer fun I ahve with them
>>122190105
I literally just bought Ketsui a few days ago and am relatively new to shmups. Any pointers? I have no idea what an ura or omote is. I've been reading general shmup advice guides but this is virtually one of my first shmups (outside of like Gradius as a kid and Raiden III)
>>122143569
>So, what shmup(s) have you played this week?
mushi 1.5 in morning and ketsui in the evening.
>>122190725
Sheeit I was just gonna ask what /shmupg/ thought of it, and if it was worth a purchase.
So what do you think guys?
looks like I chose a good time to get into SHMUPS
DoDonPachi is insanely fun
How do people access Daifukattsu without a 360 though?
>>122191251
Buy steam releases and hope for success for the company so they release it?
>>122190936
>I literally just bought Ketsui a few days ago and am relatively new to shmups. Any pointers? I have no idea what an ura or omote is.
Ok well you don't need to think about ura or omote for a whilst as they are the second loops which take a decent amount of skill to even qualify for so for now focus on that 1st loop also as a first ever shmup be prepared to get a kicking for a whilst as this is not a beginners game. Try to get comfoy with the hitbox which is a very small 4 pixel square in the centre of the ship. Watch some plays on youtube to understand the nature of the scoring which is fundamentally quite simple to grasp at a basic level and then just play but try to play consciously really think about what's coming up and the best way to deal with that "routing" as we call it, trial and error is the name of the game even if you lift some ideas from plays on ytube you'll find that you may adapt it slightly to work better for you or maybe find a less risky version etc. Lastly have fun Ketsui is the best.

Mame 0.143 will run Daifukatsu but it's hard to find that build because the devs got in trouble from Cave and pulled it.
There's also an Android version you can emulate on stacks or buy, same with iOs.
