I prefer the trad shmups with checkpoints, low shot rates, fast patterns, fat hitboxes, and takes a while to get fully powered up. Modern "bullet hell" shooters dumbed all of these fundamentals down unfortunately which turns me off of them.

For me, it's gotta be KyuuKyoKu Tiger, aka Twin Cobra.

For me, it's Kyuukyoku Tiger, Toaplan's magnum opus.

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.
