Wait, is this a new general? I've never seen you guys before.
I can't believe there's still no one with a replay worth uploading. I had faith in you, anon!
>>125877278
but I'm garbage at shmups
sorry
>>125877185
Yup
Been active since, a month by now I think? Real slow general so you dont see many new threads made.
>>125877278
I dont really have anything worth giving you anon, unless you want something like No Miss 1cc of Alltynex SecondNormal
>>125877278
I am still looking for a VHS I can capture through.
>>125877185
We come and go. We try to keep it alive for a few months, and then it fades for a few months, and then it comes back for a few months, and so on.
>>125877185
The shmup community is very small but frothing at the mouth when it comes to dedication. So these generals usually last a couple months, even if they're slow.
top 10 for futari god
Friendly reminder to STG cult that you are weak and irrelevant.
>>125880390
I wonder if anyone ever goes to Nuclear Throne threads and laughs at them for not playing shmups.
>>125880676
I'm doing it right now.
>>125877278
The only thing I have is a 1cc of Mushi Arrange and I don't even know if that is worth uploading.
>>125876925
Game is REAL hard.but I like it.
How do I git gud
TH7 is my first shmup but I can't do it without using continues, even at normal difficulty.
Hey /shmupg/.
11 hours into DBCS, my first Darius game, and I still can't clear ADH.
I haven't beaten Eschatos (5hr) either.
Is there still hope for me?
Violent Ruler just doesn't wanna die, man

>>125883282
Start analyzing and learning patterns, learn or make routes for each level, watch replays of people who 1cc what you want to do and MOST IMPORTANTLY: NEVA GIBU UP
>>125883282
Practice, a lot. The more you practice, the more you will be able to progress through the game.
>>125883487
Make sure you are using your laser option (whatever its called) to absorb certain attacks. And make sure you are counter bursting since that is super important and it kill shit relatively quickly.
>>125883282
Identify your trouble spots and practice them
When you make mistakes think about why you made them and how to avoid making it again the next time.
>>125883669
Does it pay to have burst duels with bosses?
>>125864879
>Pick Mushihime-sama you indecisive piece of shit.
I'd rather have multiple people decide what we're going to do, anon, though Mushihimesama is a good choice.
>>125883282
Practice. Practice stages that give you trouble, practice stages that you're not comfortable, practice practice practice. I also recommend downloading some replays over at the Touhou replay site, a quick Google should get you there.
>>125883858
Yeah, thats when you have to counter burst after all.
>>125884035
Alright. I should stop trying to figure this all out on the bounce and start watching other peoples' runs. Thanks for the tip!
>>125884210
Yeah no problem, the easiest way to do it is to let the enemy fire its giant laser and then you lean into it and do your counter burst instead of timing it head on which is way too hard.
I'm not exactly good at smhups but I'll ask here:
What's the general opinion for Danmaku Unlimited 2?
Personally, I love the game since I haven't had as much much fun with a shmup since Batrider and Ketsui. Plus the soundtrack is love.
Got any recommendations for something that could be right up my alley?The only time I ever 1cc'd a shmup was Ketsui and I was on Red Bull. Never again.
>>125877278
I managed to beat that fucker of a 4th boss in Mushi on Maniac no miss no bombin practice mode.That shit would be awesome to have recorded.
can you guys suggest me an emulator to use with a pentium iv 2.4ghz?
i use a recent final burn alpha but i feel like it slows down too much
>>125886712
You 1cc'd Ketsui? Thats pretty impressive at least to me. I guess you can try other Raizing and Cave games if you liked Batrider and Ketsui.
>>125887973
Well to be honest I did practice on Death Label a shitton during my free time in uni.
>>125886712
>The only time I ever 1cc'd a shmup was Ketsui and I was on Red Bull.
I dont know why but that made me chuckle
In any case, well done.
Did you buy Dariusburst yet anon?
>>125877278
I can't leave training mode in Mushi, I'll have a no miss clear one day.
>>125877278
Would you take a shitty Eschatos run? I could try to get a no-misson Normal.
How's that 1cc going /shmupg/?
You getting there?
>>125896319
I started a new game and its very hard so eventually I hope....
I am the worst person at shmups in this thread.
There's no way I can finish hellsinker or mushi (beyond casualmode)
>>125896319
If you don't know already, it's easier to dodge the red waves in the middle of the screen before they split apart
>>125898214
Oh shit thanks anon.
That was my first attempt at Stage 6 and I couldnt for the life of me avoid those red butterflies.
>>125883551
>watch replays
NO
DO NOT
DO NOT DO THIS
>>125876695
>CAVE announces next Steam port on the 26th.
NO DEATHSMILES
pls ;-;
>>125899401
How else are you going to learn the best currently known strategies derived from years of metagame advancement and thousands of players?
>>125901192
by not being a scrub
the only reason to watch replays is when you're going for a #1 place
>>125901806
Have fun reinventing the wheel
>>125899767
All signs are pointing to SDOJ.
>>125903939
It'd make more sense to do DFK first, with releasing older titles before later ones like with Mushi prior to Futari. But SDOJ would be fine too, if they fix the port.
>>125902036
To me, a good game is something where reinventing said wheel is indeed fun.
I'm the worst ALLTYNEX Second player in the world. I just can't get more than 4 mil in stage 2.
>>125876925
>First for hoping SDOJ is the next steam port.
Shit I'll have to sell off my 360 port when it gets announced.
>>125906819
I cant even finish Stage 2 Hard
>>125898194
Well, to finish Hellsinker you must understand it first, and that can take quite a while.
>>125877185
There used to be shmup generals when /vg/ was first made but we weren't active enough to keep the threads alive, and then some of us migrated to /vr/ when that was made.
>>125914378
I think the influx of shmups on steam has helped attract enough people to keep a general outside of /vr/ alive.
>>125914554
Yeah, gives us a little more focus I suppose.
>>125899767

>>125915348
My personal order or preference for the next steam reveal is:
>SDOJ
>Futari
>DOJ
>DFK
>Any of their older shmups
>Cave ceases to exist
>Deathsmiles
>Muchi Pork (nuke boss milking from orbit)
>>125915681
I am fine with anything as long as its post 2004.
Finally. Now I can start learning stage 3.
And also try to become at least somewhat consistent with all this.
>>125917381
>Chaining stage 3
Good luck anon I hope you are ready to put in twice the time into that compared to stages one and two.
>>125918243
Yeah, it's going to be fun.
At least it's not white label
>>125916564

>>125903939
>SDOJ.
If the next Cave game on steam is that, would I need to play the previous DDP games to enjoy it?
>>125925053
You don't really need to play any previous shmups to enjoy sequels.
>>125925553
Just wanted to be sure since there's like what, 5 of these games?
What's the longest amount of time you have spent practicing /shmupg/?
Just got my first S++ in Ikaruga. Double Playing two ships simultaneously is quite OP once you gave the patterns down.
>>125925053
No because real dodonpachi starts with Daioujou.

>>125906819
Are you milking the enemies that spawn while the huge laser charges up? That's like 2 million points right there if you manage to keep the multiplier up.
>>125941267
Is that with normal shots or with the laser/sword?
>>125941987
Normal shots. Just try to stay as close to the center as you can and shoot. You should be able to chain the kills together to get to the 25600 point bonus pretty easily without even paying much attention. Also near the beginning of the stage, right after you kill the two elite units, you can stay in the center without moving and fire with your regular shot. The enemy waves come quickly enough for you to chain them, and you can get a decent amount of points from that.
>>125938631
Input is perfectly fine, my thumb being in the way at times is a much greater flaw.
>>125944738
Remind me of trying to play Nanostray 2. The damm stylus gets in the way but it's such a fluid control scheme.
>>125892401
Pretty soon after release, yeah. Only 1cc is ADH, though.
>>125936341
No phone capable of playing it, sadly.
>>125937859
>>125939126
That's rough, anons.
>>125944738

This is what stops me from wanting to try it.

This one's for the leaders.
This one's for the dreamers.
This one's for the keepers.
FREEEEEDOOOOOOM!
Does this send a message.,
In heart spoken language.
We can't take more damage,
of justice miscarriage.
As sisters and brothers,
We fight for the honour,
We must fight until we get what's right.
It must be decided,
That we are united,
And won't be divided.
FREEEEEDOOOOOOM!
By working together,
and pulling the tether,
defeat the oppressor.
FREEEEEDOOOOOOM!
Fight harder and harder,
Soar higher and higher.
So soon you'll discover,
that we are the power.
Today we are fighting,
Tomorrow we're fighting.
We must fight until we get what's RIIIIIIIGHT.
You'll never win
lest you'll use what we need.

>>125984775
We are all too busy practicing. Like, we might do 200 worthless runs, what sense is there talking about them? The only day anyone really cares about is the day you run a gold medal at the Olympics.
That said, I am interested in knowing what kind of ship designs really get people's juices flowing. Symmetrical, asymmetrical designs? Block shapes, curvy shapes? Machine heavy, or simple toy-like?
>>125976808
This post perfectly captures the retardation of modern scoring mentality. With the resources you burned milking those mines you could have survived much longer in the game, which ironically would get you more points.

>>125986053
It's called having high goals, anon.
>>125986353
Can you read? You sabotaged any goals you might have had.
>>125986451
That's only a momentary setback. The lost scoring potential from forgoing the trick would also sabotage the goal.
>>125986553
Don't forget, extend every 1,000,000 pints.
>>125986451
Better to fail reaching for something great than to resign oneself to mediocrity. All failure is temporary.
>>125985628
I dont think I've ever seen an asymmetrical ship in a shmup, probably so as to not confuse people about the hitbox. That said, there's nothing wrong with asymmetrical designs
>>125997001
Well Radiant Silvergun has them, and I think Soukyugurentai has a few as well. And then you have things like low level Bacterians in Salamander that aren't really symmetrical either.
I ask because I personally think asymmetry is more imposing. It also allows you to have bosses that don't just attack in mirrored patterns to themselves.
>>125998674
Oh I thought you were talking about the player's ship. If we extend that to things like bosses then sure. They can be pretty cool if done right, even if I cant for the life of me recall an asymmetrical in any shmups I've played so far.
Will Ikaruga ever go on sale for less than $5? I'll probably pick it up this winter sale no matter what, but I'm just curious.
>>126003152
On the 26th, maybe.
>>126003152
How poor are you that you can't even afford 5§ for the greatest game of all times?
Are shmups officially dead?
I don't wanna invest time in a genre that isn't getting any new games.
>>126004712
http://transition.tokyo/en
there's hope. hopefully we get more than just ports announced here
>>126004674
I can, but I could get even more games if it dropped down to $2.50
>>126004712
Invest time in getting good at one that already exists.
>>126003152
It already was on sale for 3.62 euros in the EU a while ago, which is when I picked up and that would be sub-$5 in USD, you'd think. Just hope it'll drop back there in winter.
>>126005103
No, wait, there's tax bullshit in these receipts so it was actually 4,5 euros at the time. Not sure how Steam prices work, it's a clusterfuck.
>>125963618
normal. I'll try Hard one day I guess.
>>126004712
Dead in that no AAA games with media exposure akin to the latest Ass Creed, sure, but there are still games coming out.
>>126007516
Just remember what anon said last thread, the second stage will kick your ass at first.
I should know, I have first hand experience.
>>126004712
There are new shmups you're just not allowed to talk about them ;^) heil shmupler
>>126013916
I still miss the days when we were allowed to talk about new shmups in this, the /vg/ shmup thread. Sadly, Dariusburst is just forbid... OH SHIT I JUST MENTIONED IT HELP.
>>126013916
You cant?

>Star Soldier appeared on the MSX and NES in 1986
fucking hell I died to what I assume is the second to last stage of the final easy mode boss in danmaku unlimited 2
I did have some dumb deaths that I could avoid next run. I went 3 focus 1 wide which I could tell really helped for the bosses, but did make the basic enemies a bit more annoying
>>126018053
Sounds like you are getting pretty close to beating it though so keep it up.
I'm heading in again /shmupg/, wish me luck.
>>126023535

>>126023728
Normal cause I suck at shmups for now
Reimu because homing master raceYamame
>>126023535
Shoot the core anon.
>>126024173
>Reimu because homing master race
One of the Sakuya's has a homing shot when you focus, and it does more damage than Reimu A. Reimu B is where it's at.
>>126024363
I know Sakuya A is probably the best shot type, but I'd rather play Reimu. Maybe I'll try Reimu B after this run, I was never too good at staying under the bosses in these games.
>>126020094
yeah I'll definitely keep it up. this was my first run using a controller rather than a keyboard, and I got farther than I have in the past
how long of a break do you guys take between failed runs?
>>126025646
Usually less than a day or two, but if I've had a lengthy period of really bad/disappointing runs I'll take a longer break of maybe a week or so.
>>126025646
Depends on how far I get. If its like the last boss that took me some trime to get there then I take like a 20-30 minute break to let my brain reset.
>>126025646
Usually a couple hours, and if I fail again I leave it for tomorrow. Repeat until 1cc.
glad I gave it another shot tonight. I was one hit away from losing. not sure if I'll be able to do this without a continue, but I'll give it a try
>>126023535
Finally, took a lot longer than I expected. Thanks >>125898214 for that tip anon, it helped.
>>126033117
Congrats!
>>126035334
You say that, but apparently I accidentally started with 2 extra lives as you can see in the "player penalty" rank. I feel kinda dirty about it, even if I didnt really need them in the end.
I'm thinking of redoing the game later.
>>126036146
Oh. I didn't even notice, actually.
Well, you should get back on the horse and try again, you should be able to get a real one quickly.
>>126036441
Yeah it was a lot easier this time around. Now I'm FINALLY done with PCB.
>>126040597
>FINALLY done
You are never finally done with an STG.
>>126041683
Alright then. I am FINALLY done with PCB,for now
>>126040597

>>126058991
Well, I managed to 1cc up to what I believe was the TLB on stage 12. Game's really fucking fun due to the absolutely insane amount of enemies on screen. Bullet patterns got pretty crazy later on, but the game gives you a autobomb/shield of sorts so long as you've got enough meter making it fairly easy to survive. Seems like it'll make for a great caravan game once that mode's released, if nothing else.
>>126058991
pretty cool game, had no idea what was going on but it was fun and pretty
>>126060037
so that's how it works, i had no idea why i was surviving until later, but i didn't know it was tied to meter
>>126058581
Cave is generic overrated trash compared to Treasure. Literally Touhou tier.
>>126062670
Static airborne enemies aren't touhou at all
>>126062930
There is a reason why all Touhou players go to Cave. Literally every second Cave player plays Touhou.
>>126063065
The majority of Touhou players play no other STGs and never will.
>>126063438
But when they do, then they go to Cave.
>>126063560
Oh wow, I wonder why they'd ever go for one of the most prolific and popular companies around.
>>126063065
>every second Cave player plays Touhou
But the first doesn't
>>126063727
They weren't any more prolific or popular than Konami, Irem or Treasure.
Infact, games like Gradius or Ikaruga are ten times more popular than Dodonpachi or whatever.
Who /hype/ for the resurrection of shmups on the 26th?
>>126063852
>they aren't more prolific than Treasure
lol retard
>>126064092
Just because Treasure didn't put rehash after rehash out, doesn't mean they were not prolific.
>>126064175
Nice backpedalling, you mong
>>126064247
Go fuck yourself. Releasing nothing but rehashes is not prolific.
>>126064472
Show me how Ibara is a rehash of Guwange
>>126064620
Ibara plays exactly like every other bullet hell shooter. Just with different graphics, slightly different score mechanics and new waifus.
>>126064837
Show me your 2-ALLs/1ccs and scores senpai.
Oh wait, you can't.
>>126064979
What does this even have to do with this? You don't have to be an expert in games to see how they function.
>>126064837
Might as well call all platformers rehashes because of all the jumping
>>126065112
>All bullet-hell shooters are the same
>And yet I still lack the ability to 1cc them
Step up senpai.
>>126065113
No, there are many platformers with very unique mechanics. Ibara could be also just named "Battle Garegga: Waifu Edition", though.
>>126065206
I could easily 1cc, but I don't want to waste my time and play good stgs instead
>>126065284

It was the first windows touhou so ZUN probably overlooked a few things.
That or he just really liked the number at the time.
>Compared to anything else you could buy for $20, this is total crap. I bought the game and the 1.5 dlc (can hardly tell what it even did to the game, except add another button for playing on hard). I played on easy, spent lke half an hour and finished it. Of course, it wasn't nearly as difficult as I expected, so I went straight to the hardest mode I could put the game on. I also beat this in half an hour, and I suck at this kind of thing. sure, I had a score, but i didn't even die until the final boss. This is all because of your hitbox in this game; it's like 2/5 of a pixel large and impossible to hit. I literally just moved in circles forever and held down A. I would just glide right over those "bullets", putting them right on my hitbox in the process. I'm not even sure how it works, but sometimes it shows you a little circle that i think is supposed to be your hitbox. That is a total lie, I submerged that in bullets too without showing any sign of damage at all. In all, the only reason you'd die is if you killed yourself, and even that takes some time. I mean I geuss you could play it frame perfect and get 200 digit score or something like that, but there is absolutely no challenge to finishing the game, which hardly takes any skill or effort at all.
>>126082213
I should try this moving in circles strategy
>>126082213
Pretty spot on really. Now if only those games had "Level Design".
>>126082213
>so I went straight to the hardest mode I could put the game on
TOO HARDCORE FOR THIS WORLD

What did he mean by this?

Grab the vsync patch off of the Touhou wiki, ought to fix that issue.
I'll dump few more webms because you should play this game.
>>126082213
I haven't crapped since Friday and even I'm not that full of shit.
>>126087739
He's not full of shit he just means he never ran out of continues until the final boss.
>>126087739
>I haven't crapped since Friday
You should do something about that anon.
>>126087562
Did you make all these webms?
>>126088206
Yee. Are you gonna tell me how my skill is?
>>126087725
>>126087903
Nice to see a game use splatter shot and wooble to good effect. CAVE needs to learn how to make a game like this.
>>126088336
Pretty good stuff anon.
You're not bad at all.
>>126087739
that's not healthy anon. you should eat some fiber rich things like sauerkraut and beans asap
if you go another day or two without crapping you should pick up some liquid magnesium citrate. it'll liquidate your bowels and make the next 12-24 hours of your life hell, but that's a better fate than having your bowels rupture and needing to have emergency surgery to stop you from dying
if you've been having regular constipation problems you should look into things like miralax alongside actively adding more fiber to your diet. take it from someone who's had to deal with it in the past, you're much better off dealing with it in its infancy.
>>126058991
huh, that completely flew under the radar. looks pretty good though
>>126071232
>you should disprove a memer without meming
I love this meme.
IMPROVEMENT
>>126088937
Really? I often go 3-4 days without taking a shit, though iI dont eat very much and what I eat most of the time is easily digestible.
>>126093984
What's up you meme loving fuck.
>>126096545
Good stuff anon.
I cant even get to Ran reliably right now.
Did someone already make a sword-only playthrough of Alltynex Second? Would be actually the perfect game for VTF-INO.
Here I just try to make ashittyjoke while it's still true and anons try to give me health advice.
>>126096545
Nice. I should get back on the Extras horse, as my original goal with Touhou games was to beat all the EX levels.
So what's the deal with this website? I thought it was a bookmark for STG streams but everyone just plays Touhou. Who the fuck wants to watch a weeb playing Touhou?
>>126058991
>no launch discount
Yeah, no thanks.
>>126115270
Pretty sure it says "Eschatos" and "Varstray" on that pic. Are you blind?
>>126115270
Everyone sets their game to 2hu to get more views. It's disgusting.
>>126108090
Does using the laser count? Because I can already imagine missiles are going to be a bitch in a run like that.
>>126115270
It's based on people streaming with Twitch, right? If so, the reason is because no-one goes on Twitch looking for Raiden Trad or DDPDFK or Salamander, so the best way to whore yourself out to viewers is set your game to Touhou even if you're playing Gradius.

Ikaruga is so comfy to watch.

I can get reliably to Chen now, got every single spawn memorized.
What fucks me over is the actual Chen fight. I can't reliably get past the nonspell without dying and I can't figure out at all how to survive her second spell.The first spell is troubling but it's just a matter of getting gud.
>>126120363
I have the same problems as you, so I asked on /v/ for advice. A kind anon gave helped me improve a lot, so maybe it'll help you too.
>>>/v/320930490
Can someone fix the files in the "try these"? They're set as .001,2,3 instead of .7z
>>126122134
Those are multi-part archives, 7zip should open them.
>>126120363
>mfw I've beaten PCB extra
>still can't beat the main game on lunatic
>>126122213
i keep getting "unspecified error" when I try to open, am I doing something wrong?
>>126122274
PCB extra is the easiest extra in the series, and I feel the majority of extra stages aren't quite as hard as lunatic anyway.
>>126096545
Fuck, I remember when I tried to nmnb extra stages like 4 years ago, time flies.
>>126122474
Dunno lol.
>>126123135
>PCB extra is the easiest extra in the series,
Even easier than MoF?
>>126058991
>Worse character design than Trouble Witches
Why they did this?
>>126126035
It's literally just easy-mode of Phantasm, though I had forgotten about MoF's.
>>126108090
That's not a bad idea although most of it will probably just consist of staying at the bottom and wiping away projectiles.
>>126116542
It's dead, Jim. At least we're big enough to have some dedicated trolls/shitposters.
>>126058991
Got around to recording some gameplay for anyone who's interested.

>those voices
Still, might be worth a try.
Thanks anon.
>>126136647
You can just turn the voices off entirely in the options, so it's not too big of a deal. The game's a lot of fun in its current state, but you might want to wait until they've at least added a practice mode and possibly replay support.
>>126135663
How long did it took you to upload this? When I try to upload vids on YT it seems to take ages.
>>126138091
About 1-2 hours I believe. It'd probably be faster if my upload speed wasn't such shit.
>>126139379
What's your upload speed?
