How is this game for someone who is so trash in shmups that he could never 1CC them, but still enjoys flying a craft and blowing stuff up.
Honestly, regardless of your skill, it's worse than Crimzon Clover but seemingly solid.

Gradius hits Ps4 this Tuesday.
This is the port Mihara measured to have 4 frames of lag, isn't it?
his video looked much worse than 4 frames. 4 frames probably wouldn't be *that* badThis is the port Mihara measured to have 4 frames of lag, isn't it?
Macross II is really fun. And this game never saw a home port? Shame.

So unless I'm mistaken, there's like 3 different Macross arcade shmups, all by Banpresto.
Two vertical scrolling and one side scrolling.
My new NTSC-J X360 come over the weekend and I decided to finally sit down and start 1cc'ing all of my shmup backlog this year. I started with Mushihimesama HD and I just love everything about the game. The music, the presentation, STAGE 3 being the best stage in a Cave game. Just too good, worth every penny.
Welp, finally bit the bullet and got a 360. SHMUPS HERE I COME.
Kinda sucks for now though, since it's a 4GB slim (latest model) so I can't really download anything. And I have two wireless controllers with no charging cables. And no games (and of course no Gamestop around here has a copy of Deathsmiles) Gah. But hey it was $50 so whatever.
Mushihimesama HD Novice Ultra is surprisingly aweaome and mostly neglected. It starts off slow but ramps up so perfectly. Kinda comparable to original maniac. Yes Boss got me into it when we were doing a lil scoring comp (not many people were on the leaderboards haha). Make sure to snag the dodonpachi daifukkatsu black label physical release for ketsupachi too.My new NTSC-J X360 come over the weekend and I decided to finally sit down and start 1cc'ing all of my shmup backlog this year.

Today I'm bringing Mushihimesama Futari, Espgaluda II and Akai Katana to school for my students to see.Shoot'em up evangelism!
Updating my HTC One to Android 5.x broke all of my shmups
ALL OF THEM...

Real shame. The quality seemed shoddy from the start though, with their portal thing in front of the actual app. After I noticed the games were broken it honestly didn't even occur to me they might possibly get fixed, I mentally wrote them off immediately.I know that feel. Fuck G-Gee for not updating their games, I've written them a dozen e-mails with no replies. Bastards.![]()
I know! It's pretty great. There are only 2 people on the Ultra Novice leaderboards though, a guy who 1cc'd it and me. :S
I got the Cave Shooting Collection so I should have everything covered, will give it a look once I'm done with Mushi.![]()
What have I just done? I just purchased a Japanese Sega Satarn, stereo RGB cable and mint complete copies of Battle Garrega and Soukyugurentai.
I have played neither but I am hyped.
Garegga is amazing. I'm jelly.What have I just done? I just purchased a Japanese Sega Satarn, stereo RGB cable and mint complete copies of Battle Garrega and Soukyugurentai.

was there a patch for it? iirc they usually reset the leaderboards after patcheshmmm... that's weird, they might've reset the leaderboards then. When we were playing (around the time it originally released) there were about a dozen or so on the board.
What have I just done?
Yeah, I installed one when I started playing. It says ver 1.01 on my start menu.was there a patch for it? iirc they usually reset the leaderboards after patches
The Lord's work.
Soukyugurentai is legit. Love that game.
Raizing isn't everyone's cup of tea. I hope you like 'em though. I do!
Garegga is amazing. I'm jelly.
ouch, yeah, even worse than I remember it being
Which Gradius?
XII Zeal really has me playing differently than i'd normal play...well anything. Ships being damaged from running into engine fire, doing the shooter shuffle to damage ships on the sides, takes practice!
I'm starting fresh and only own Crimzon Clover at this moment. Put a bunch of shmups on my steam wishlist and noticed a few on sale today. Any of these worth getting at this price? I'm looking for games that can work with an arcade stick. Astebreed doesn't seem like it would be compatible for me.

I think my Cave collection for 360 is nearly complete...just missing the first Dodonpachi game. Now to actually play them more than once. Eventually. Mostly only played Deathsmiles 1 and a quick poke around the rest. Also got Ginga Force and Eschatos, really liked Eschatos.
I'm sure Garrega will beat me into submission like Ibara did until I can get use to it.
Thank you, Steam. Picked up a bunch.

It's okay. It's just a ton of boss battles, really. But for $.097 I said why not. XIIZeal is awesome.How's Phoenix Force? Been curious...
EDIT: NM. Yikes...gamermaker level. I'll stick to XIIZeal. My Shmup section on steam already requires me to scroll lol. I highly recommend
I really want to start getting into shmups so what is a recommended starting point? I've played a bit of ikaruga but noticed I'm terrible at it. Anything easier I should grab on steam to start off with or should I just keep at ikaruga.
