If you are a PlayStation player like myself, odds are you've earned a trophy or two. And seeing as you're on the shmups forum, odds are you've played one or two of those in your day! Like 'em or lump 'em, trophies can bring a whole new level to how you interact with your games when done right, and shmups are a genre that can really push you to your limits at times. Games like Raiden IV which require you to no-miss on the ultimate difficulties can even push you over the edge at times!
FAQ:
What is this?
This is a leaderboard for PlayStation trophies in shmups!
How does it work?
The leaderboard will be ranked by how many shmups you have 100% of the trophies in! So for instance, I recently earned the platinum trophy for 100% of the trophies in Caladrius Blaze - that is 1 point for me! Note that since the trophy grade doesn't necessarily equal the difficulty (a platinum trophy doesn't mean the game is hard!), every shmup is weighted equally - 1 point per!
What games are eligible?
For a list of eligible games, you can check out the 3rd post in this thread. The list will be ever-evolving as games are added. I don't personally know EVERY game off by heart, so I will look to the shmup community to help me fill the list of eligible games - what do YOU think should count?
How do I sign up?
If you haven't already, sign up to one of the many trophy tracking sites, and create a trophy card on there (e.g.: http://psnprofiles.com/). Once you have that, post it here. When you make your first post, list out all of the shmups you have completed (on PSN), and I will verify and add you to the leaderboard!
If you have games in another language than English, please provide the name as it can be found on your trophy profile, so I can find it!
