What are some some good shmups for someone new to the genre? I’ve played Metal Black and some of the Darius games so far. Been trying to see how far I can get without and getting hit, but it’s not that far since I’m pretty bad.

Bullshit. Playing the same game again and again is the worst thing you could do. Playing a bunch of them and then returning to the ones you like, playing a couple of games a day until you either beat the game(s) or get tired of them, is the best way.

Emulate Time Bokan Series: Bokan to Ippatsu! Doronbo for the PS1 or Saturn. Adorable and hilarious presentation very faithful to a classic anime series including some Japanese language cutscenes, and pretty approachable stage gameplay with a variety of vehicles, a forgiving health bar but bosses that in part are a bit of a tough nut to crack.

>They are all gonna be pretty hard.
Nah. I always recommend checking out console shmups before the coin munching arcade all time classics. Some home ports are easier than the original, some decent shmups were made for home consoles in the first place.

Now that I think of it, Lords of Thunder for the Sega CD is also considered notoriously easy.

[Anonymous No.8229318]

>>8229309
That is true. They are still a challenge to 1cc, but there are plenty. I've been on a spree of playing nothing but MAME games. Namely dragon blaze, which is pretty "easy" til it loops.

Could always start on popn twin bee or something like that, but I'd say pick a game you want to keep trying and enjoy losing.
I do believe one of the hardest shmups I've played is armed police batrider so maybe choose a hard game and an easy one to compare how your skill increases.

If by good beginner shmups you mean easy shmups, Gatchaman: The Shooting for the PS1 is another tip of mine. Decent presentation, an hour long, and being a pretty big shmup noob myself I've still cleared it first try. Not sure whether it teaches you anything for more difficult shmups though.

Here are a couple console ones I found pretty easy and I'm not good at this genre at all

>Märchen Adventure Cotton 100%
SNES, very short, cute horizontal shooter, beat it my 2nd try I think

>Darius Twin
SNES, been a while but was able to get through it so I don't remember details

>Gleylancer
Genesis, also been awhile but I think it only took a couple tries, pretty cool

>Super Aleste
SNES, easy to credit feed through if you just want to keep playing without worrying about having to restart and git gud at stage 1 a hundred times

>Iridion II
GBA, uses pseudo-3D perspective IIRC, pretty cool

Why is Battle Garegga so autistic bros?
>It cuts off a huge portion of the screen in all other settings unless you use TATE mode.
>It has an "easy menu" that literally has multiple extra features over the standard one (and is in english).
>There are four variants of every ship depending on what button you press to select them, including pressing A+B+C which you can literally only do by binding it as a button in the Mania layout in config.
>The standard hold fire button literally remembers the last couple seconds of mashing and will repeat that if you manually mashed it, including any gaps in presses
>there are 8 different auto-fire rates that you can bind to a button
>you actually don't want the fastest fire-rate because then your rank will increase way faster and quickly become impossible
>basically everything in the game increases your rank and makes the game become extremely hard really fast
>requires you to frequently suicide to manage rank so it doesn't become ridiculous, and doesn't share any of this rank info with you at all
>has a ton of different layouts for your options formation that you have to cycle between
>bullets that blend into the background and are really hard to see
>tons of debris the same size and color as bullets that requires an unlockable option to disable
I was planning on 1CC'ing it, but I feel like this might be levels of autism that I am not capable of. I'm playing the Saturn version btw, not the 2016 remake (or whatever it is)

[Anonymous No.8229639]

>>8229112
i'm not new to it but I got a few 1ccs in cotton reboot recently, it seems friendly to new players due to the magic system. Blue magic charged up gives you a barrier that absorbs hits until it wears off, tapped blue, red and green cast something that destroy bullets too so you virtually always have a get out of jail card when things seem too overwhelming. the fever bonus score pop-ups are pretty obnoxious though, the visual clutter might be too much for a beginner to handle but otherwise it's good to start with.

Yeah, most Switch shmups are terrible though and range from 6-8 frames, so it's much, much worse than PC. Cotton is definitely an outlier that's just downright embarrassing though

[Anonymous No.8230202]

>>8229871
>Shit are you serious? 11 frames?
the base game already has something like 6 frames, and because the "port" is just an emu + iso you also have additional lag on top of that

Emulation on RetroArch on a PC is actually quite a bit lower input latency than original hardware. The input latency comes from being on console (consoles have way higher input latency in general) and being a shoddy port.

Nice. This barely counts but my first was the Space Invaders remake on PS1. When we moved to a town that had arcade machines around 2003 I got to play Raiden Fighters a lot. Love that game.

[Anonymous No.8236974]

>>8236771
I think back in the 80s and 90s it was a real status thing to get a 1 cc, because it meant you put in hours of work, standing in front of that machine, quarter after quarter, to memorize the layouts. You didn't have guides, Youtube videos, it was all on you and maybe if you saw someone else play to the end you could get some ideas of how to improve. So if it could cost $100 to get that 1 cc, not many people are going to do that, so you're part of an elite class. Now when you can just push a key on MAME to play it's somehow less impressive, even though you're still putting in the same time and work.

Starting a little youtube diary/record of my clears. It's fun and gives me little goals. Latest clear was Lords of Thunder. Awesome PC Engine game. A little on the harder side for a beginner game, a little on the easier side for an intermediate shooter. It's got a crisp presentation, unique mechanics and most of all and absolutely killer hair metal OST. Highly recommended.

>Either way, there's not much here to distinguish it from the multitude of similar shooters already available cheaper on the VC.
did the virtual console release just not have all the features of the current one? I'm playing Gleylancer right now on Switch and it's pretty good. Switching between the option styles on the fly is pretty fantastic since it offers something that feels like weapon switching despite having power up dependent weapons. I got it on Switch praying that the input lag wouldn't be bad and I'm not really noticing it if there's much at all.

>To be honest, I’m actually more of a survival player myself. That’s why we made the chaining more lenient compared with Donpachi, so that players like me with no interest in scoring could be able to enjoy it too.

yep most zanac games give you iframes when you powerup, even the GG Aleste, but in Zanac Neo the length is really noticeable when you grab the Weapon items (like 4seconds? and 1 or 2secs for the small powerups iirc...)
So instead of trying to beef up one weapon just hop between them and the game turns to a beat em up

why? you're just projecting, skill is the natural consequence of actively interacting/learning the game mechanics, which needs clear win/lose conditions. If all you do is mindless credit-feeding like a retard you don't have a real win/lose condition, thus can't properly play the game.

yet you are interpreting this as if you have to be a neet 24/7 player to enjoy games which is pure bullshit, as stated before skill is just basic to gaming, even in casual moble games. you don't need to be super skillful but you need some degree of skill activity and win/lose condition to enjoy a game, as it's key to the game mechanics.
>so you can do it sometimes, just not all the time?
you can do it the first time I guess but even then it's a kinda bland experience, better limit your credits like console ports often did and earrn your clear.

no such thing

unlimited credit feeding was a great practice tool back in the day, before save-states and training modes. We'd practice combos, check points and bosses by just spamming credits but still trying to play properly. So it can be totally skill based just like save-state grinding, without caring about a 2cc or 3cc or whatever number of CCs you are at.

But it doesn't have to be, it can be mindless and low effort and still enjoyable. I never kept track of my credits for certain beat em ups and fighting games, still had fun co-oping them with friends or just fighting the CPU. Not sure what your problem is maybe you don't have any experience or just haven't thought about game design or human psychology much?

it's not unlimited if you are using your own money, you are losing something so that will force you to mind the game and try to win, different to just credit-feeding on mame.

this is a decent way to counter measure infinite credits, although limiting your credits is still better.
>But it doesn't have to be, it can be mindless and low effort and still enjoyable.

>I never kept track of my credits for certain beat em ups and fighting games, still had fun co-oping them with friends
No one really enjoys it, it's just much better to play something better designed for casual play that still has proper game mechanics and win/lose conditions, like tabletop games. If you don't want to game there's other shit you can do with friends.

99% of games can be beaten with a few dollars if you credit feed....money isn't the limiting factor, time is, just like mame.
And unlimited here means indeterminate, i.e the player doesn't intend a reset after some specific CC number. Again you missed the point.

the hanger for ship select sucks ass since you have a limited amount of slots. no idea why they didn't go for a fighting game style CHOOSE YOUR FIGHTER even if it's going to have 99 ships. Smash bros is at 74 and still legible.

Stages in general are ugly but they're generally good, better on higher difficulties. stage 1 is shit no matter what though.

Bosses are generally terrible

Checkpoints are excellent. each checkpoint seems to put you right in front of one of the stage's main challenges and every single one can be dealt with raw.

might be one of the most demanding of force use among all r-type games. If you really want to sink your teeth into a game that demands mastery of it's gimmick, the most r-type of r-types final 2 is probably it. if you're an ape that just wants to move ship around booleet you're going to hate this janky trash. take a look at someone's run with the base ship to get an idea of how frequently you'll have to launch and dock your force with the base ship. skip stage 1 because its boring shit

Me again. Played on normal this time but died on the last stage. Will try again tomorrow. Checked out Wikipedia for some background info and came across this quote from the creator that answers some plot questions I had :^)
>"The image I had for the world was one of outrageous and nonsensical science. People [in the late 19th century] didn't understand the limitations of the steam engine at all, and they thought that the steam engine could do anything. They wrote many blueprints [for things like] this. My idea for Steel Empire was to bring those designs to life. People back then thought there was an atmosphere in space, and that the Aurora Borealis actually existed in space, too. So I tried to express that in the last stage by having an atmosphere in the background, and I told the designer how people back then drew images of space with mist. Using that as our image, we designed the graphics of the final stage to have a colorful, Aurora-like mist even though its in space. So even in space the propellers on the planes are spinning, and since there's an atmosphere, there's smoke too."[1]

Yup. Once I was shot out of canon into space I thought they were just being goofy but it's neat to know they had a purpose for doing it.

Got my Imperishable Night 1cc last night. I don't care what people say, this was by far the hardest game of the three so far.

[Anonymous No.8270450]

>>8270236
good job. "IN is by far the easiest in the series" is pretty much a meme yeah, I'd say it's average compared to the rest. I personally dislike slow dense patterns so IN is actually harder than EOSD or PCB for me (not by much).

Stage 4 Marisa boss about broke my mind, and not being able to continue at all on the final stage just to get more practice on it made me do more runs of it than in 6 or 7.

I play Marisa just to be sure I don't have to face her in stage 4, because the Reimoo fight is honestly pretty easy once you understand how to do it (at least for me, and compared to Mari)

A realization I've come to is if you want to git gud it might be more rewarding and fun to learn a multiplayer game. Because high level [end game] in multiplayer games is where all the action and fun are. Strategies change, metas change, new things to learn and tweak, and each session will be different than before.
Meanwhile in shmups (or any singleplayer game) the initial learning process is most fun, and maybe being intermediate, but the end game and high level grinding out PBs gets very miserable and dry, just like speedrunning if you have any experience.

Latency, even now, in multiplayer games is gigacancer. I can put as little time as I want into a shmup daily, start whenever and not have to care about anyone's internet connection hampering my experience. Really, if you want to do something skill based other than shmups playing an instrument or a skill based workout (rings, handstands, some yoga) is closer.

>latency
if you prefer fast games that are sensitive to latency you will need fast internet or a good local internet cafe, true. But many multiplayer games are competitive & skill focused but not sensitive to latency such as card games, strategy games, competitive co-op games (mobas, monster hunter or mmos), etc.

>skill based workouts
yes people should have other hobbies too

I play shmups even though I don't like them because I have no talent or skill. I only have to grind a route over and over until I have the game memorized and it becomes easy
it stops being fun after a few hours but at least I can pretend I'm good at a video game

Not suprised. It's an early Genesis title and port of an arcade game that only came out in Japan.
