Notes:
  • This compiles Top 25 years 3 through 7 - the score data for the first 2 years are unavailable. I'll gladly add them if someone finds them or comes into contact with nullstar.
  • The entire list will be posted after this thread reaches two pages (it will be a very long post). Now available!
  • Raw data & formulae: ods - xls - html - txt/csv (main sheet only).
  • I discovered 3 subtle mistakes in annual results, games that should have been merged into one result: (3rd) Abbadox & Abadox; (6th) Gynoug / Wings of Wor & Wings Of Wor / Gynoug; (6th) In the Hunt & Katei Daisensou / In the Hunt.

that's cool, but it doesn't reflect the true popularity of the more recent shmups like ibara, futari, deathsmiles, etc

It does actually, since it uses average scores, not total scores. ;) Well, it's supposed to anyway, unless i screwed something up.

Edit: Everything looks correct. Ibara placed 47/38/24/19th in its 4 years, Futari placed 162/41/25th, Deathsmiles placed 187/36th...
Edit2: Of course you are correct if you mean that it doesn't match 2008's T25 or the future "deserved" placement of these games. :)

is there an all inclusive ranking anywhere? a system where ALL shmups get listed in some order of popularity? we need one so we can weight lesser know shmups to try.

This is a pretty great list. Of course I don't agree with everything but it's probably about as good as you can get, taking into account everyone's differing tastes.

Addition from this year. Darn good game actually, though I didn't vote for it.

I mostly don't care about this top25, but yay anyway. Surprised to see some of those games making a reappearance, guess we'll not be rid of them for a while ;0

Hmm, it does have R-Type at least.
