>>5939623
Nice. I'm a little further from a 1cc, still need to figure out the final stage and how to beat Jupiter cleaner. Mostly the last segment and getting consistent at taking out the turrets at the start without bombing too much.

Out of curiousity, I tried Batsugun Special last night. People weren't kidding about the first loop being easy. Cleared it on my first attempt in the middle of the night. But doing four loops seems rough. Loop 2 was already a big step up with all the suicide bullets.

And there any silly shmups worth playing besides Parodius and Cho Aniki? I'm not a huge shmup guy so an element of spectacle where I'm waiting to see what the game will throw at me next often makes the game a lot more enjoyable. I liked Boogie Wings/The Great Ragtime Show as a result since it's sort of like a horizontal shmup Metal Slug with some fun mechanics like the hook and changing vehicles.

Just 1cced Batsugun [original]. What a ride!
Really fun game.
Music is kind of cheesy but also catchy and upbeat.
Stage 4 & 5 do require a bit of memo work, otherwise you'll just die to super-fast bullets from awkward angles and sniper tanks coming from hidden corners. You have to pre-empt all that shit, you can't react or simply flail around.

Art is fantastic, whoever designed the mechs and backgrounds put a lot of detail into them.

Highly recommended.

Thunder Dragon 2 (サンダードラゴン2?) is a vertical arcade shooter, developed by Banpresto and published by NMK in 1993. The game uses variable rate scrolling (the screen scrolls at different speeds or not at all), and is played from a top-down view. Unlike space shooters, Thunder Dragon 2 is played in-atmosphere on a single world with contemporary airplanes.

The game contains eight stages, with popcorn enemies and ships with varying degrees of durability throughout. Each stage culminates in a boss fight, preceded by a warning. The player chooses between two different ships, a slow but powerful ship on the player 1 side, and a fast but weak ship on the player 2 side. Scoring is accomplished through enemy destruction, accumulation of medals dropped by enemies, and special bonus awards for completing specific tasks.

[Anonymous No.5945165]

>>5945159
>keep getting hit on second boss
In Batsugun or Gun Hohki?

Can't help on Gun Hohki since I haven't played that. But second boss in Batsugun is Madzella, the first phase is simple enough, just take out the pulsing spread-shots on the wings then the main body. Phase two requires you to misdirect the boss as he unloads bullets, there are gaps in his bomb streams sometimes, then bomb once or twice just to buy some time and get some hits in. You almost always have to bomb on that boss to be consistent.

[Anonymous No.5945179]

Honestly, I'm still not sure it's possible to get 100% of the time. You can avoid bombing more often if you're careful about leading the bullets but it doesn't always work for me. It might actually be too random to avoid getting pinned sometimes.

I've been playing Deathsmiles by CAVE, which I had never played before finding it in this retro arcade in Osaka.

The theme is fun and Halloween appropriate, and the difficulty is less than insane, which is nice (I can get sort of far on one credit). The scoring system makes no sense in these games; it's hard to figure out what to do to get tons of points.

Also, there are two unlockable characters plus one unlockable stage, and once anyone inputs the secret codes for those, they're saved to the PCB permanently? I find that to be bonkers and also amazing.

Survival can be interesting long term if you're going for a WL 2-all or Sengoku Blade 2-all no miss or DDP NMNB or something interesting that has longevity to it.
You're not doing any of that, are you?

Survival implies dadhopping when you just collect kuso scrubby-bomb clears in easy and average shmups, in the worst possible ways. There's no longevity to a game if you just go for the 1cc flail achievement. You get it in a few weeks, then what? You move on to the next shit clear? Hence dadhopper.

Yes, and? Ultimately it doesn't matter as long as you enjoy it. The only real reward for getting good at a shmup is enjoying yourself. If you really love a game and want to keep at it, you'll probably get into scoring naturally (assuming it's worthwhile at all in that game). Playing to impress other people is silly though, particularly when maybe 10 people in the world would care about your high score for most games.

If you're saying they might be cheating themselves by not sticking with a game long enough, that's a fair argument. But if you're saying there's anything shameful about just getting kusoclears, I don't buy it.

It's not only about enjoyment, it's also about tinkering with a game and figuring it out. the sense of mastery. Like how an engineer is driven by curiosity even if it's not enjoyable at times and actually frustrating.
Women will never understand this though so I'll talk about enjoyment with u.

Not all enjoyment is equal. There's the enjoyment of spectators, enjoyment of scrubs, enjoyment of the more dedicated and so on. There's also the enjoyment of improvement/creativity/dedication.

If you want to say all enjoyment is equal comrade then say it, and become a spectator, save yourself the frustration of screwing up run after run and just enjoy the spectacle of watching good players perform.

Of course there's different forms of enjoyment. But getting some quick and dirty 1ccs is different than just watching somebody play too. But as I said, if all you're saying is that you think they're cheating themselves out of a deeper enjoyment, that's a fair take.
