/shmupg/ ~ Shoot 'em ups General

[Anonymous No.6742045]

== IMPORTANT ==
This general is for discussing all shmups/STG (shoot 'em ups/shooting games/shooting type games).

REMINDER:
If you see stupid jarpig poser shit posted, deal with it as follows, either:
a) Ask them to post their replays (preferably while posting your own) to back up the validity of their braindead claims.
b) Completely ignore them.
Do NOT feed them out of desperation for any type of discussion, be patient. Nothing's better than this at dealing with their attempts at disrupting the community. There's absolutely no reason to entertain their tired attack topics for the millionth time. And be wary of any nonsensical infighting crap they attempt (horizontal vs vertical, bullet hell vs old school, survival vs scoring, you name it), stay focused on the actual divide, which is players vs non-players. Players unite.

ALSO:
If you wanna pretend you're into shmups in a comfy environment you can join either of the big shmup Discord servers or a different thread on this very board (create a different thread if there isn't one atm), do not come here to cry, let actual fans have an uncucked space for them.

What are you playing?

Consider pasting the previous text on future threads.

Shmups? They're pretty generic and forgettable to be honest. Gradius IV is the best, but even that one I could take it or leave it.

plasmo is based and actually has interest in shmups. the other guy just wants clout.

NO ONE here cares about that ancient tweet, okay? Stop posting off-topic personal squabbles in a /vr/ "shmup" thread. And you wonder why these threads get deleted by the mods! Enjoy.

I just got Trizeal and it's p fun. What is the point of the yellow ship, though? It doesn't seem any faster yet its weapons have a smaller range.

Jarpigs are the scum of the community and they should either start playing shmups, at the very least spectate properly or leave forever as they only spam white noise and bring down player morale. Also fuck the players and eceleb wannabes that wanna use them for clout and company at the expense of the quality of the shmup space.

[Anonymous No.6744591]

>>6744509
This is not a good place to talk about shmups and gameplay, this is the eceleb jarpig community ranting gossip zone. come to the other thread.

>>6744395
if it's like the yellow ship in Exzeal its shot is stronger to compensate. I haven't played Trizeal in ages but I do know Fujino copy-pastes from game to game pretty liberally so that might be the case.

[Anonymous No.6744635]

>>6744591
no thanks, I like the freedoms of /shmupg/ better.

Anyways, I have it down for the st7 boss where I only need to use 1 bomb, so that should leave me with enough resources for the last area which is where my runs that get past stage 3/4 end. Game has weird balance where the earlier stages can be even trickier than the later ones. As long as I don't die to any of the 4 midbosses on the last level, I should be able to get the 1cc. Recovery in this game is a bitch, if you die once you pretty much just have to reset.

lol what are you talking about

>>6744669
you have to torture /shmupg/ to get them to stay on topic and talk shmups, all they want to do is talk about people who wronged them and how the community isn't tailored exactly their way

notice how this post ended all their gossip and eceleb talk instantly? Really makes you think what the intentions behind this "shmup" thread were.

as far as I know the only person who is obsessed with "jarpig this jarpig that" is (That) guy. And reminding him to stay on topic doesn't work, we've tried.
