Just obtained my first 1CC, couldn’t be happier!

Post by EmmanuelCamden »

After being a casual fan of shmups for years, I lurked around on this sub and on other forums looking for help, and I finally got in the right mindset to 1CC a game. I beat Touhou 6 Normal on one continue, not a massive accomplishment, but it’s a start. I think doing this has finally made shmups “click” with me. I didn’t think it would take this long for that to happen, but hopefully I can continue to improve from now on.

Congrats. I played shooters way back in the early 80s at the arcades and on the Odessy 2, but didn't really get into them till I started visiting sites like this. Once they click, its like a good addiciton.

Just a heads up, saying "this sub" makes it clear that you've pasted this from reddit :D
When you say "1 continue", you mean no continues, right? 1cc is a "1 credit clear", not a "1 continue clear".
Congratulations though! I was beaming when I got my first 1cc! Which game do you reckon you're gonna try next?

Weird. Looks like a bot is grabbing posts from reddit and making accounts to post them here.
Why? I guess we'll never know. Very strange.

Yeah, the post appears to be a duplicate of: https://www.reddit.com/r/shmups/comment ... e_happier/

It's not the first time bots have appeared and reposted previous posts. It might be in order to gain posting rights for future spam or something? That one that was posted in the hardware forum appears to have been posted here first: https://www.reddit.com/r/shmups/comment ... rs_matrix/

And this thread here where the first post was a copypasta from an ancient shmupsforum post as detailed in the thread (the bot and their post has been deleted since then, Brainpalace was the first person to respond and is not a bot).

edit: whoops I missed clippa already hunted down the reddit links

It's really weird for sure.
