These are my Shmup confessions...

[HeLGeN-X]

I feel like Daifukkatsu is harder than SDJ, and I doubt that for the rest of my life, I'll ever get to the TLB. What are your confessions?

DFK is probably harder, at least if we're not counting Inbachi. 2 loops, and that second loop is pretty nuts, especially in Ura.

If we're mentioning Inbachi, then there's no way that DFK is harder.

I can't really think of anything myself.

[KAI]

I can't go full shmup even if my life depends on it.






Also, PS is overrated.

[soupbones]

I can't 1CC shit.

And even that gives me a hard time.

[CIT]

I've never actually played Gradius IV, despite owning the PS2 version.

Just watched a superplay once and decided it's too ugly for my taste.

[trap15]

I never liked Daioujou, and I only briefly liked DoDonPachi when I was new to STG.
I think Donpachi is the best in the series.
I think Akai Katana is great.
I think both Gunbird games are terrible.
I think the only good Takumi game ever is Mars Matrix, and I only half-like that one.
I think Slap Fight is mediocre at best.
I think ESPGaluda 2 is extremely over-complicated and dumb.
I only occasionally play a single game for more than a single credit at a time.
I think Same!Same!Same! 1P version is fair, yet I can barely even get to stage 3.
I've still never cleared any version of Futari despite seriously attempting several times.
I have literally only put 2 credits into Mushihimesama since I 1CC'd original a year ago.
I think Batsugun is awful, and Special only marginally better.

Probably got more.

[KAI]

I HATE GAMES WITH 2 LOOPS.

[n0rtygames]

* I used to pick shot in DoDonPachi and try to use shot while weaving through bullets because I thought it did more damage... because I picked shot.
* I like the talking Loli's in SDOJ
* So sometimes, I talk to my Loli's in SDOJ.
* I cannot and never will be able to use Palm.
* It took me over a year of playing to be able to beat Futari due to restarting and trying to NMNB the entire game for the first half a year.
* The only part of Batrider I like is "WELCOME TO VIOLENT CITY"
* I genuinely think Deathsmiles is a really good game

[Weak Boson]

I used the roll button

[Obscura]

I have made it to the TLB of Crimzon Clover original with the max number of lives possible (can't remember if it's 9 or 10), but haven't cleared it.
I have made it to the 1-5 boss of DOJ with 4 lives, but haven't 1-all'd it.
I have never made it beyond the mothership rush of Gradius.
I usually game-over on stage 1 of Gradius II.
I really like the art-style of Deathsmiles. The game, not so much.

Are you me?

[SFKhoa]

I tend to like the arrange versions of certain games more than the original arcade version.

[SuperSoaker360]

Enemy collision deaths are my worst nightmare.

[Giest118]

I find Battle Garegga to be utterly average.

Futari Maniac's scoring is finicky and retarded.

DoDonPachi II: Bee Storm is all kinds of rad.

Some of my favorite shmups were made by Gustav.

I find most of Cave's TLBs to be kind of stupid.

[Muchi Muchi Spork]

Someone masturbated on chempop's Cyvern boot.

If Ikeda was female I would marry her.

The way the shot bullets respawn in Galuda 2 in the dumbass deep mode takes you completely out of the game and into another one which sucks and I'd like to choke the designer of it unless it was Ikeda in which case still want the female version hand in marriage for some reason.

The only thing I don't like about Ikeda is he always says he doesn't want to make sequels and then Cave continues to make the most sequels out of their least interesting games.

Oops I almost forgot one... The input lag is so bad on Battle Bakraid, if you think the pcb is worth the asking rate you've got to be shitting me.

I used to think hacking games to reduce input lag was lame, but that game is a piece of shit without it.

[ratikal]

I think Ketsui is overrated.

[Muchi Muchi Spork]

ratikal added to block list.

[trap15]

I have to agree. Ketsui is vastly overrated. It's a good game, but it's not amazing. Nice and visceral though, which I can always appreciate.

[Muchi Muchi Spork]

It's not overrated. The difficulty tweaking is the best that has ever been done in a video game. You were driven insane from a month long hackering project and ratikal by some unknown form of insanity.

[Drake]

you'd think if you were in the game's guts for a while you'd get to know it even better

I think ESPGaluda 2 is extremely over-complicated and dumb.

Join me in Overheat funtimes

[Cuilan]

I think Ketsui is overrated.

YES

[amerrykan]

I fucking hate the modern Japanese cartoon style, and it is driving me away from shmups.

[Muchi Muchi Spork]

I'm here to tell everybody who thinks Ketsui is overrated that I have handed the phone over to the boss because I can't deal with your fucking ignorance anymore.

[rancor]

I often times play Battle Garegga in MAME on my normal-oriented TV. Even though I've got the PCB in my Blast City.

bonus confession: I cant tell the difference between emulation and the real thing.

Tip: As long as the emulation isn't completely broken, most people can't. They just claim that they can for nerd cred.
