anyone getting sonic mania on steam in a day or so?
Jaxson Hernandez
I'm not claiming to be the ultimate authority on the game - I've watched tons of replays, I know most of the stage strategies, and I've commentated it for STG Weekly and Stunfest, but I'll be the first to admit there is always more to know, and that my execution is nowhere near good enough to match the high level. I'm also one of the core staff members of STG Weekly, a moderator at the largest English-speaking community of shmup fans, and a frequent livestreamer of STG content. I've traveled to conventions and events around the state and the globe to talk about, play, and commentate shooting games. I've been to HEY in Japan and watched superplayers in person. I've met ZUN. I've helped bugtest and playtest games for Cave and Degica.

why does degica get shitplayers to playtest their games instead of people who are at the top of the farm score boards? really makes one contemplate.
Colton Cruz
they had jaimers to and he sucked, o self indulgent and good going for youtube bucks to play in intuitive ways to test for bugs. You dont need good players you need analytical ones.

can't dodge shit in touhou

because touhou is shit and therefore undodgeable.
Matthew Ramirez
people do lunatic no-miss no-bomb runs, and i can't even get past stage 4 on hard difficulty. i feel bad and want to give up on shmups
Hunter Phillips
Practice!
Mason Gutierrez
use the vsync removal patch
or leave it on if you want superplayer-tier input lag
Angel Barnes
>superplayers adapt to input lag on the fly and get new WRs >shitters scream and cry about 2ms lag making the game utterly impossible
Hunter Richardson
This is true, my ps1 adapter adds a ton of lag i just adapted to it with batrider which is already laggy. I've said it a million times and i'll say it again westies want excuses all the time for being shit.

clear then score, or score right from the start? i find playing for completion to be boring, but i'm too shit to score.
Aiden Lopez
what game
Wyatt Brown
ALLE if a game has very simple scoring, i play on hardest difficulty straight away. but i feel step-by-step would be better.

>clear then score, or score right from the start? Why not both? Just don't go full shmup, but still try to score.

Already got it on Switch. Fun game, but I did three playthroughs in like two days, so I'm pretty burned out for now.

how about the time attack/speedrun appeal? i watched some knuckles speedrunning in it and thought it looked like fun.
Jose Cooper
Haven't tried that yet but it looks kinda neat. Time Trials have never really been my thing though.
Isaac Jenkins
I have come to the conclusion that beat em ups are harder than shmups.

some are mostly due to zero balancing and dire cheap bosses.

Beat 'em ups are challenging but they aren't as hard as the harder shmups out there, unless you count badly balanced shit like combatribes

Aggresive Bump!
John Cruz
It is something I have been thinking about for a few weeks – why am I even apart of this community? I haven't been getting much enjoyment from playing and other people have seemed to hate it as well. The community is full of autists and trihards.
I hope that clarifies my feelings…. but please do not let this extensive clarification distract you from the fact that in 2016, Gus fucked a dog in a cuckshed, and plummeted his dick 16 millimeters through a dog's mouth.
Jose Lewis
ceexx? is that you?
Josiah Baker
What are some good shmup games to play?
Ryder Cox
Not a direct answer to your question, but I've found that, more often than not, things on their own are much better without the communities associated with them.
Kevin Ward
I stick around the community to laugh at the worst of it and get news faster. The rest of it is pointless.

Did trap15 kick you off STG Weekly again?

> Please tell us the history and reasons behind the decision to make the ship speed so slow. >Another reason was that increasing the ship speed allows the player more freedom of movement, but that would mean that the make the routes the player could plan through each stage would become much more sloppy, and less strategic. fast plebs btfo
Brody Stewart
Wat game
Chase Kelly
Well yeah, being faster is usually good. At least until you get to uo poko levels of speed
Carter Gomez
More gameplay depth is better than slightly sloppier routes
Brayden Evans
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you fucking Cream white knight? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in Dog-fucking, and I’ve been involved in numerous bestiality orgies in Corona, and I have over 6,000,000 confirmed sexual encounter with female dogs. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top player in the entire shmup community. You are nothing to me but just another Jap. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before in Japan, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet you Cream white knight? Think again, vagina-lover. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of dogs across the world and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, tranny gook. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, Chad. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over 6,000,000 ways, and that’s just with my crippled hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of my parents' money and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the earth, you vagina-fuckers. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn Cream white knight. I will have my dog shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, slant-eye Chad Cream white knight vagina-fucker.

I assume that's raiden? i like slower ships to desu, better for precision and less ability to just cheese everything going around it.
Christian Williams
Do you drive a Dodge Charger and work as a KFC manager?
William Adams
shmuplations.com/toaplan-chronicleQA/ if slow ships were shallow pros wouldn't use them, but they do and get WRs with them, even in games where slow ships are underpowered like ccwi.
Sebastian Jackson
>tfw have been playing for 2 years and still haven't found a game I want to spend more than a hundred hours on
Jack Wood

William Morales
No we don't have dodge chargers in the uk, do you wear your sisters panties and play touhou whilst wanking to 2d porn? Your dad failed you and raised a sissy emo spastic, take your twiglet fingers and noodle arms and go bicep curl a pillow you massive cream puff.
