shooting gay...... never die..........

RIP

I'm sorry mistress Casper

Sorry, it's TWO FUCKING AM. I should've be sleeping right now.

It's too late. Just look at that face. She's pissed.

Hello page 10 my old friend

Reco will do sexual favors in exchange for more thread activity. First come first cum

I guess we should let shmupg rest for a while...

We really are struggling lately. But, I'll be so bored if this place isn't around for me to vent my obsession!

Reco is pure
PURE

Pure pleasure.

the feeling of trying to beat your own odl score that had mistakes and was established in no time, and failing to come even close

what's wrong with cave PC ports?

honest question

input lag and DRM

Far as I can tell, it's a problem of inaccurate slowdown and some bugs that never bothered getting fixed. For example, I think I heard that the ports crash if you have more than 100 friends on your Steam friends list.

lol what the fuck

Anyone played Castle Shikigami 2? Just credit fed through it for the first time today and I have to say the English Translation is one of the best I've heard.

I dunno.

Give Trouble Witches Neo a try.

As good as this?

This quote makes me super depressed, it's just not fair that shmups are on the brink of death while "cinematic" games, mobage, and other instant-gratification trash is constantly growing in popularity.

more 2d porn to fap to 2bh

It's up to us to keep stg alive!

i think, considering the nature of these games and the community surrounding it that it's not going to die anytime soon.

Who actually buys those in green for home sticks?

MON lucky charm?

i bought the hrap4 vx-sa off ebay for 60$ and it came with the green buttons. i added the ls-32 and green ball top. i like the look.

shmups are for instant gratification bro

>difficult, repetitive, typically

That's the real arcade look, 1P side. It's good.

but my friends do play... we get together on weekends and 2p futari maniac and shikigami no shiro 3

Continue?

How's that 1cc/scoring run going /shmupg/?

Not too well. I've been trying to practice DSMBL 999 but I'm not doing so good. Casper's been taking a vicious pounding here.

Level 999 Whispy Woods seems, like, super hard. Maybe there's some sorta trick to him...

slowly

not very well. i can't find the motivation to do it the past week after i had a fantastic run ruined by interruption. i try but get angry after a couple runs and give up. i need a couple days off work to get my head back in the game.

Not good. Haven't played in a week.

Maybe a couple hundred more hours of practice and I can start runs that can actually get something "decent".

>the ports crash if you have more than 100 friends on your Steam friends list.
can confirm this, but the crash only happens if you sort the scores by friends.

If you stream you'll surely make progress!

you're a pretty cool guy.

t-thanks

anyone having problems with overconfidence? I keep seeing and casually aiming for gaps that, while legitimate, are actually stupidly difficult to pass through. this shit has been killing my consistency ever since it started, and all i keep thinking about is "it's gonna look good on the replay"

>"it's gonna look good on the replay"
it won't

>TAC: Good players don’t do a lot of dodging. It might look like they are, though.

>Haneda: That’s because dodging bullets means you’re in a dangerous situation, right?

>TAC: That’s right. There’s been times when I’ve seen someone doing some amazing dodges, and from my perspective I think, “Ah, this person isn’t very good.” (laughs)

>it's gonna look good on the replay
It's always the opposite with me.
>oh shit that looked really fucking stupid I hope this run falls through because I don't want anyone to know how dumb that was

Who cares about the replay?
Try playing without recording yourself until you get consistent.

>There’s been times when I’ve seen someone doing some amazing dodges, and from my perspective I think, “Ah, this person isn’t very good.” (laughs)
Sh-shit, he's on to me!

link please

Do you know how google works?

i didn't noticed the very first result for some reason.

pretty good, more or less

>youtube.com/watch?v=QsO7UnuOw-I
>5 minute cutscenes with nothing but talking
lmao nice one cave

sadpepe.jpg

will do, I get a bit narcissistic with the replays

This general will not die until you achieve something.

We'll be waiting a while then.

Keep this thread alive! Do it for Rosa!

No

... Do it for Rosalie?

I want to be that watermelon...

B-But she's... eating it... like, as food...

Tetris Ultimate by Ubisoft did that. Imagine being so bad at porting games you fuck up Tetris

Doesn't make sense for a shmup since I think I have one friend on my friends list who plays them but that's a funny bug

I often make uneducated guesses, and my uneducated guess on this matter is that the Xbox 360 ports were never programmed to show leaderboards with 100+ friends on it (because Xbox Live doesn't let you have that many friends) and when the game was ported over, they just left it like that, so when you try to view the leaderboard with 100+ friends it just trainwrecks.

Personally I'm more miffed about how, just after the announcement of the Deathsmiles Steam port, they were considering ways to make the Steam version a better value since so many people already owned it on 360 worldwide. Miffed because they wound up not doing jack shit with that idea and just wound up with a plain port of the 360 port.

That's a shame, but it's understandable since a lot of Japanese developers just don't work with PC games and ports. Look at the first Dark Souls when that released, with its 1024*600 resolution and forced 30fps.

Maybe it's just porting.

I love 360 mode!

>break mode
is it break as in "taking a break" or as in "i'll break your face"?

I think it's "Break" as in "Limit Break".

Break as in GIGA DRILL BREAKER

>Who actually buys those in green for home sticks?
My custom stick had green buttons and stick nob.

>Anyone played Castle Shikigami 2?
Yup i played it alot, it and 3 are seriously underated imo. 3 has some great interesting suicide strats aswell.

>How's that 1cc/scoring run going /shmupg/?
Pretty good desu after months of trying to get 50+ mill in guwange blue i got 2 runs with different characters, now the room for error is tighter.

>it's just not fair that shmups are on the brink of death while "cinematic" games, mobage, and other instant-gratification trash is constantly growing in popularity.
It's more a sign of the times than any kind of message about the genre, western culture breeds laziness, aversion to dedication, absence of desire/understanding for long term achievement and seeks to alienate those who do have long term focus for a single activity. In the 90s everyone who tried hard or did anything was called "nerd" as a derogative and now the new word is "autist/autism" which is almost always used in a passive aggressive sense to validate the person using it and an insults laziness and failure to achieve anything and alienate those whom do to make himself feel better. Once upon a time we celebrated the strong and gifted now we demonize them give medals to everybody and celebrate the weak/self proclaimed victims thus why the west is in its infancy of demise.

CCWI players, favourite ship and why

Type-I because it's the only one I've tried!

I want to like CCWI, but theres just too much shit on the screen

You'll get used to it

Type I, because it looks the best, is not too fast, and has these cool Ikaruga/Rayforce type homing lasers.

Arcade Original isn't even that bullet hellish, compared to other games. You also got a lot of fire power yourself.

...

is it me, or modern shmoops look really low-budget in comparison to 90s shooms.

Type-I at the moment.

Modern shmups are mostly indie games, of course they have lower budgets.

Oh, and I like it because it controls just right, compared to other ships.

Type-II, it has the right speed for me.

Type Z ofc

I'm an alcoholic and can't get any meaningful practice.
Can only 1cc Touhou normals

I haven't unlocked TypeZ yet, you get it for total Burst time in a particular mode right? What's the gimmick?

acho is streaming giga wing. www.twitch tv/neoam_acho

1cc maybe some day

Type-Z'

you are very close, i'm 100% sure you can make it.

That bosses stomping stage is total BS desu

What mode?

I think you unlock it after getting a certain number of stars cumulatively. It's the strongest ship.

upper left corner
i'm not there in arcade yet, but it novice that stage was much easier with type iii.

>gaijin not allowed to chat

Oh man I just looked at your score
Makes me wanna play E4 again. I love huge numbers like that in games

someone playing worse than i

>get it just about that low in the original game
>continue, drop my hands disappointed as he explodes
>TLB theme starts up

Is there any shmup which plays similar to CCWI when playing for score? I can't remember any shmup which uses this kind of time-kill multiplier.

Well, ok, except Rayforce maybe, but that doesn't really require you to time-kill enemies, afaik.

Lockon timer was lifted from Ketsui. Go nuts.
