The "Fascinating Shmups Anecdotes" Thread

[KAI]

Yesterday I went to a friend's party, we played Guilty Gear, Tetris New Century and even some IIDX battle matches, it was fun and laughs until:
When I was playing Ibara Kuro Black Label, a guy asked me "Do you know Touhou? is much better and harder than this, you should watch some videos, you need to be a real pro to play those games"

...

Party ruined.

Just let them play a fast bullet / normal hitbox game. Something like Raiden 1 or Sky Shark. It's hilarious watching trash talkers get slaughtered on the first level of a "n00b game with only a few bullets on the screen".

mmhm, i completely agree. I used to think that games like raiden were laughably easy until i actually sat down and played them seriously. now THOSE games are for pros

Do you know Touhou? you should watch some videos, you need to be a real pro to play those games.

[Hagane]

So, have you removed all the Touhou posters in your room yet?

[KAI]

I only have one and I can't take it down, Cirno signed it.

[Hagane]

You forgot about the other one with all the chibi characters. And the gigs of Touhou remixes. And lots of other things Touhou is, um, well known for.

C'mon, it's in your blood. You can't fool us.

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

I need a transfusion then.

Music is a whole different matter, it's Supersweep and Tsukumo's fault for doing awesome 2hu CDs.

I... can't... breathe...

Where can I buy a dress like that, I alway wanted to feel like a princess!!!

[ciox]

Well, I laughed as soon as the serious french reporter woman said "touhou", let alone after that..

[Naut]

Oh, that was you? Sorry I ruined your party.

Are you sure the guy wasn't a troll? I can't fathom how anyone could watch most Cave games and not realize it's above Touhou in difficulty.

Either way, I would have just handed him the controller and be like "YOU". Then go and boot up Darius Gaiden and make him play that afterwards.

This. Seriously, it's one thing to run your mouth, it's another to actually have played the game to decide.

Probably the same thing that prevents people from seeing Lunatic is above most Cave in difficulty.

Yeah but most of these kind of people don't play Lunatic lol.

The two most stereotypical Touhou fanboys I know, never play the game off easy. One of them once said while watching a Cave game "Bullet Hell? More like Bullet Elevator Music LOL".

Later he told me that SFII's prequel wasn't a fighting game, SF1 was an American game called Final Fight.

Take your own conclusions.

[Jeneki]

Generally speaking, people who can 2-loop clear CAVE games and Lunatic clear Touhou games don't talk like the conversation in the first post.

I have yet to meet a developer tard who plays games seriously (as in, a person who won't shut up about how developer X makes the most hardcore games ever and everything else is easy). Touhoutards ... Cavetards ... Treasuretards ... really aren't that different in how they start conversations.

This forums is full of Shmuptards, I better go back to play Ridge Racer V
