Never got into shooters, and usually threads about them just crap on new or begginer players saying git gud anytime someone asks for help. Doesn't seem like much to talk about other than bragging about your 1cc's.

[Anonymous No.6146024]

Yea, because shmups are such memorable games.

I agree, they are very memorable

[Anonymous No.6146028]

>>6146012
JRPGs have a higher skill ceiling and have more customization options making the experience rememberal. Shmups is just hurrdurr pew pew.

Shmups are childrens games.

There are several arcade related threads right now with people giving fairly indepth advice on how to git gud to people who are asking right now

[Anonymous No.6146038]

>>6146035
Oh so they're simple and for children. Surely you'd show us your WR of DOJ? You obviously have it because of how simple the games are

Why is it necessary to keep making these threads? All shumps are just copies of each other, you should be limited to one thread a month as there is hardly anything to discuss.

spam more shmup threads

it's the only way to cleanse /vr/ of its jarpig obsession

[Anonymous No.6146182]

hey remember when you dodged that bullet
yeah that was awesome

[Anonymous No.6146186]

You're not gonna cleanse /vr/ it's already far too shit and far gone, how about instead of spamming threads or shitposting you make decent posts in existing threads instead faggot

But I was talking about Blazing Star and DDPDFK? When was I talking about shit like Raiden?

shmups have the best waifus tho

Horis or verts?

hmmm

[Anonymous No.6146315]

>>6146293
Theres far more good verts, horis are old & busted

[Anonymous No.6146317]

>>6146315
I feel like horis that have environmental traps can fuck off, like ones that kill you on rocks but otherwise they seem more easily readable

[Anonymous No.6146321]

>>6146317
Environmental traps are the only thing that makes them interesting tho and even thats seldom explored to its full extent, usually they are just floating big hitboxes without any interesting dynamic elements. Gradius 4 and 5 do capitalize on it with reactive terrain and liquid physics and shit. Otherwise its more natural to read bullets coming from above, and rarely having shit come at you from behind makes verticals even more readable. Thing is that most horis are easier with some big exceptions so theres not that much to read. Play vertical bullet hells and you'll think otherwise

[Anonymous No.6146337]

R-type leo and Sexy parodius and Gradius 2 are probably my fav horis. Horis need good environments because reading bullets is harder, shit like sengoku blade is a nightmare to play.

>>>6146287

wrong, threads without bants and shitposting are boring and lifeless

Thats just unfortunate. Not sure how he managed to not 1cc it after 200 hours, must have terrible practice habits

[Anonymous No.6146463]

>>6146439
probably 200hours of mindless flailing with little planning and memorization. Maybe he thought the clear would happen like it does in jrpgs just by aimlessly sinking time into it while watching youtube in another tab. Still it's an impressive feat to not clear it after playing so long.

[Anonymous No.6146468]

Is it dumb to play and practice a variety of games at my local arcade and play a different genre when I'm home? Or is the time spent playing other games better spent focusing on ones at the arcade?

[Anonymous No.6146481]

>>6146468
variety is fine as a secondary practice but you should git gud at your favourite game(s) first.

You can get mame at home and practice those arcade games for example. I used to practice fighting games at home so I could beat regulars at my local arcade. If you like single player games you can try to get the biggest scores

What had the better shmups? Saturn or Neogeo?

[Anonymous No.6148242]

Saturn by far, it has so many decent ports of some of the best shmups of all time

Neo Geo has some good ones like Zed Blade, Blazing Star and Pulstar but that's it
