Has anyone gotten better at STG's in general since you started on Touhou? I just found my Raystorm psone cd again and I started playing it. I remember before I couldn't 1cc this on super easy settings when I first got it. Now I'm blazing through hard and 1ccing it.

That's nice, dear.

Yes, pretty much the same skills involved.

Yeah, it looks like Anons are powering up when it comes to playing STGs.

Japanese ZUN is probably crying tears of joy.

It helped me with Raiden and ESPgaluda

Though it's not a STG, it helped my bounding on StarCraft noticeably.

Seeing patterns became a whole lot easier.

What exactly does STG stand for?

Not really. I've been playing them long before Touhou.

I know it's synonymous with shoot-em-up.

Wait, what did Otomedius do to my Jade Knight and Falchion Beta? I can't see them anywhere.

They sadly weren't included. The other ships are based off other Konami games/shooters.

>> No.2648885

They've made me worse. I keep trying to graze bullets in games where even your wing being hit will kill you, and I'm too used to moving slowly all the time so I speed into bullets a lot.

The Lord British ship was a referense to the Ultima designer and was the second player ship in the game, "Salamander."

Salamander came out in 1986.

So, you're some 22 years late to the party.

Is Tita Nium and Bigcore Examina the boss you fight at the end of the stage in Gradius 1?

Thought so. Thanks, ZUN.

I'm so used to vertical shooters now that it feels kinda weird to play a horizontal STG. I can't get a feel for where my hitbox is, somehow.

Yeah, but it's kind of shitty.

I'm better but because of Touhou/cave/etc I can't play old "soft" STGs I used to like anymore, they're too easy and I can't even make them fun by pro dodging everything because they're not designed to be played without ever getting hit.

He's kind of right. If you didn't pick up a speed power up on the level before you're fucked on the vertical stages.

Maybe some people liked it better when it was called Life Force.
