[Giest118]

These are the things I'm currently actively working on:

* Eden's Aegis Hell ALL!
* DoTonpachi Maximum TTLB All
* DoDonPachi Maximum Special Round clear
* Blue Wish Resurrection Hell ALL! with 30,000,000+ score
* DoDonPachi DFK Power style 1-all (holy shit, Power style actually makes this game fun)


I intend to do this shit eventually:

* DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou 1cc
* DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou Hibachi all
* Loop DoDonPachi DaiOuJou Black Label
* Blue Wish Desperate mode ALL!
* Touhou 12: UFO Lunatic 1cc
* DoDonPachi II: Bee Storm TLB all


And then... I dunno. I have a retarded number of goals here already, all of which are going to challenge me. :V

[Hibachi]

I think I'd be happy to 1cc anything.

Back in the Megadrive days I really had the knack and used to loop Flying Shark in the arcade but much as I enjoy bullet hell, I just suck.

I'm currently working on Mushihimesama Futari Xbox

J.J. Squawkers        | 1-ALL (2-ALL eventually)

[Keith]

1cc or loop anything.

Substitute "anything" with one of the following:

• Pretty much anything Cave, though I'm mostly looking at DFK, Futari, Espgaluda II, or Guwange
• Hellsinker
• Akashicverse
• Shikigami no Shiro 3
• eXceed 2nd or 3rd
• Gundemonium Recollection or GundeadliGne
• Maybe a Touhou game on Hard/Lunatic (I can 1cc some Normals, but that's child's play)

Hopefully scoring decently goes hand in hand with this. Maybe I'll even wind up on a leaderboard somewhere. That'd be nice.

I can't tell if I'm aiming high or aiming low.

[RNGmaster]

- No-bomb all Touhou games on Lunatic
- Dragon Blaze 2-ALL
- Quit this fucking stupid community/hobby

[AuraDRGN]

-ESPgaluda2 Ageha 1CC
-Dodonpachi resurrection A-power 1CC

[CptRansom]

-Clear Touhou EoSD/PCB/IN/MoF/SA/UFO/TD on all difficulties with Extra stages (all done on Easy, EoSD/PCB/IN done on Normal... slowly but surely [yes, I am fucking horrible])
-Counterstop Mars Matrix with sexy auto-piercing cannon in MAME
-Eden's Aegis and Blue Wish Resurrection Hell ALLs
-DOJBL and Ketsui 1-ALLs
-Eschatos Hard (and maybe lrn2play Advanced)
-RFJ ALL
-Raiden IV 1st Loop
-Maybe lrn2play DFK, DFKBL, and Akai Katana. Maybe.

I like to set my sights low.

[CStarFlare]

Want to pull out a couple of clears that should come quick if I just stick with the game for more than a day. There's a lot of them:

DDP, Akai Katana (and Shin), Deathsmiles II, DFK BL, Ketsui, MMP, PS Arrange, Mushi 1.5 Maniac, Sine Mora Hard, Crimson Clover

More optimistically, I'd like to clear Futari God and Espgaluda Arrange. I've been to the final stage in both, just need to knuckle down and work at it. A Garegga clear sounds cute, but I usually don't feel like playing it.

I don't usually set score goals. 4 bil on God would be nice, and I've been half-wanting to do 1 bil on Deathsmiles II for a long time now. It's hard for me to keep my interest in one game up long enough to improve my technique past dying less.

[Squire Grooktook]

Beat at least 2 loops of Gradius II ARC
1cc Rayforce with a good score
1cc Rayforce on hard mode
2 all no miss clear Axelay on hard mode
2 all 1cc R-Type 3
1cc Gradius V on V.Hard.

[shmuppyLove]

Blazing Star 1CC
Deathsmiles 1CC
DoDonPachi 1CC
Futari BL 1CC
Guwange 1CC
Espgaluda 1CC
EspRaDe 1CC

And one non-shmup:
Nightmare in the Dark 30M

I'm kind of reluctant to go for the Blazing Star clear ... I've been playing the game off and on for years, so it will be kind of bitter-sweet when I finally conquer it.

[Marc]

Futari Maniac clear is my immediate aim, I've been playing original on and off for six months and never quite gotten it, I was very surprised to find that I don't find maniac much more difficult, so I'll focus on that instead. I

[Aquas]

-Go full shmup with Guwange.
-1cc Dragon Saber (eep!) and Dragon Spirit (old version)
-reach 2nd loop of Ketsui
-Try to wank my rank

[ChainsawGuitarSP]

- Quit this fucking stupid community/hobby

You can't leave now! You didn't even buy an overpriced Toaplan PCB or a Cave box yet!

[DrTrouserPlank]

I'd like to clear a Cave game one day, but that is hampered by the fact that I haven't touched a shmup for about 8 months.

If I played more regularly and less intensely I'd probably fluke it eventually, but I'm too goal-oriented and dedicated to getting it during a shortish period of time before eventually I have a complete meltdown and I stop playing entirely for a prolonged period.

[Naut]

To don't want to quit and very enjoy.

[Plasmo]

Going full shmup with Donpachi.

30mill+ would be nice.

(Just found another 1,6mill chain on 1-5. I'm getting there!)

[Nana]

Futari 1.5 Maniac 1cc
Deathsmiles lv. 3 all + Gorge
Hitogata Happa 1cc on Nobilmente
Gundemonium Recollection 1cc on Unlimited
Gundeadligne 1cc on Unlimited

and get a fucking Japanese PS2 already

For now!

[mrsmiley381]

Still working on that Garegga clear. ried out Miyamoto today and actually started not fucking up so badly. He's not considered EZ-Modo or anything, is he? His high speed and bomb style suit my play style PERFECTLY. Seriously. I refused to touch the guest characters before, but today I finally reached stage 5 in a semi-competent fashion. Finally rotating my Trinitron probably helped, too. The image bleeds past the usual top and bottom borders of the TV, but not so badly that it hurts my ability to play. I know people always say to tate, and now I truly understand why.

Other long-term goals include:
1cc Gradius V, Ikaruga (Maybe Radiant Silvergun, but I don't actually like it that much)
1cc all Compile games (Because I know I can do this)
1cc all Dreamcast shmups (Because I have a Dreamcast boner)
1cc everything else I enjoy (CAVE stuff mostly, at the end of the list because it will be the overall most time consuming with new releases all the time)

I noticed taking a nice long break and coming back to things helped an awful lot. I popped in a few games recently and noticed that I was improving substantially faster than before. Maybe the absence of alcohol and the inclusion of more fruits and vegetables in my diet is improving my overall mental acuity.

Other shmup-related goals include a couple of projects I've been planning for a while. Would any of you play an arena shooter inspired by Smash TV, but without random bullshit, more route selection, and rank/item mechanics similar to Garegga? Because that's what I'm currently trying to build.

Did you have a look at Nitro Ball yet? It's got many of those qualities, although with a few little problems related to semi-random scoring. It does have traditional stages; it feels like an arena shooter, but is obviously not so constricted.

An Arena Shooter is always welcome, my friend.

I always welcome the opportunity to research new games, so I just watched a few clips of Nitro Ball. All I have to say is, "Thank You!" as it's even sillier than what I was planning. I was intending to have room-specific scoring traps of sorts, and this game proves that you can get inspiration from anywhere.

I guess new goals include playing Nitro Ball and making a thread for arena shooter resources at some point.
