Ikaruga is pretty much the Laphroaig of shmups. It's an odd and unusual taste (extreme memorizer with color switching mechanic) that for some reason has become every pleb's first "sophisticated" shmup/whiskey, and is usually the only thing in the genre they drink/play.

(also Dreamcast psychosis)

The weirdest thing is people parroting it as the best even though they haven't played it, or even worse, haven't played the genre period. Why this happens, I have no idea. Best guess is that the game is different in an obvious way, and people that don't like these games tend to dismiss them as too samey, therefore this one must be the best since it's unique unlike the rest.

No. If we want we could say that the only horror elements would be the dragon bosses and the fear of restarting once you used all your magmax units, but no, there isn't any actual horror element.

It's just the shmup i've played the most, the music stuck with me since i've first played it, the option of going to the surface or underground was likable and finally the idea of using a spaceship that can be upgraded up to a whole giant robot was something i truly appreciated. Simple things, really. I'm fond of this but it's purely a nostalgic factor, i would bet there are way more polished games on the same console, launched the same years of this one.

It's a one on one versus shmup. The top player takes the role of a boss, taking multiple shots to kill. The players have life bars, although the top player can shoot orange bullets in patterns that one-shot the bottom player. There are a number of power ups and the top player can also change into a boss form, turning into a giant mech that sprays bullets everywhere. One of the power ups switches the roles of the players.

It does, yes. Unlike Twinkle Star Sprites the players share a screen, though, so it's quite a bit different. My friends and I were all super into fighting games but this was a different thing for us to play when we got bored and it turned out to be the game that got me into shmups.

It's been a while since I played, but I'd be happy to share what I remember!

This game has tons of depth and a huge skill ceiling despite seeming so simple to the newcomer. Once you get good at it, the sense of flow feels incredible, maybe even better than Tetris IMO.

1. Positioning and flexibility.

Picture the center of the screen. Now move down, maybe to the bottom third or quarter. Think of that as your "neutral position".

Every time the screen is empty of enemies, try to get back to neutral position or as close to it as possible. This will up your survivability drastically because it gives you more evasive and offensive paths to take as well as more time to react to enemies (One of the hardest things about this game is the enemies and projectiles from all sides).

Your ship moves very slow. This makes increasing flexibility essential (by being in neutral), so you don't get boxed in. You can stop doing this when appropriate if you memorize the spawn locations (I cant remember if you can memorize all of them or just the ground targets). This will probably happen without really trying, but will happen way faster if you just pay attention a bit.

2. Use a turbo controller for the B button, but not the A button. Just always hold down the B button and focus your attention to timing the A button because accuracy is critical.

3. Practice your aim with bombs. With practice, you can *consistently* clear adjacent bases (even the 2x2 cluster) with a single bomb. The amount of time saved makes you more likely to be able to get back to neutral and be ready for the next spawns.

>>5202594
>>5203091 cont'd

4. Here is my aiming flowchart with bombs: Approach "weak point" of target (for example, the point at the very center of a 2x2 square) as quickly as possible. First move diagonally up and towards the target until you are directly below, and then make minor adjustments left and right as you approach. This is both the fastest way to get to your target AND it also gives you the highest chance of hitting the weak point since you have time to make adjustments. Once you master this technique it feels amazing when you can consistently take out clusters with a single shot.

5. Get a good feeling for how much time it takes for your bombs to travel from you to your target. Get good at extrapolating the position of moving ground targets. Note how fast they're going, and kill them with a single bomb. Some of them turn; pay attention to the position on the background where they change direction to a cardinal direction. This will be the same location every time, so you can actually plant a bomb before they turn that hits them AFTER they turn. Hugely satisfying.

Another thing I wanted to gush about: this game shares the amazing mechanic (that goes back as least as far as Galaxian) where you can't fire another bomb if another one is onscreen. This may sound like a downside, but it is honestly one of my favorite mechanics, because it makes marksmanship emphasized in a way that just isn't possible in games where you dont have this "limitation". I love the feeling of surgically precise shots over mindless blasting, so I love the fact that Xevious rewards this gameplay style so much.

I'll admit that if I want to play Xevious, I'll play Xevious Arrange on the Xevious 3D ps1 disc. If only to listen to different music...

And Xevious 3D, but that game is super frustrating and the perspective makes it hard to judge your hitbox, which is common in early 3D shmups.

OT: pic related
If DariusBurst had the level variety of G-Darius, it might be a perfect game. Alas, so close.

The best beginner arcade shmup 1CC is Batsugun Special Version (first loop) on MAME, as far as I'm concerned.
And yes, Starfox sucks, it's a sluggish experience, try better games like Space Harrier.
>>5213267
Thunder Force III was my first clear.

>>	Anonymous Tue Dec 11 12:45:34 2018 No.5213765 >>5213254 My vote would go to Arrow Flash for the Genesis/MD. Even at the hardest difficulty, it's easy as fuck, and you have a 'panic button' for the uber rookies. But even so, one can get a solid taste of what the genre can offer.

>>	Anonymous Tue Dec 11 13:00:02 2018 No.5213797 >>5213741 It's probably my favorite shmup and by extension game, the speed module is the greatest thing ever.

>>	Anonymous Tue Dec 11 22:28:18 2018 No.5215174 I tend to prefer faster based shmups that more Cave style bullet-hell. It feels less like I'm memorizing paths and more like I'm getting more skillful at reacting. -Raiden Fighters -Space Megaforce -CRS68K

>>	Anonymous Tue Dec 11 22:37:03 2018 No.5215193 >>5215174 Cave is actually more about reacting than old school shmups which are much more memo based, and I don't say memo as a bad thing in the slightest. They have RNG in the patterns while older games are much more static.

the way I see it the sticky was made in 2014 and it sets the cutoff at 1999 with the dreamcast. it's clearly a 15 year rule, so at this point we should consider ps2, gamecube and original xbox to be okay. also up to perfect cherry blossom is fine since that was august 2003
