Do you guys remember the part in the French shmupumentary where they interview G.Rev's Maruyama, and he says the essence of a good shooter is "when you blow something up and there's a really satisfying explosion" - well he certainly makes games according to this conviction.
EDIT: GG Aleste II's bomb is really amazing as well, especially considering the hardware it runs on. Darius Gaiden and Tatsuji II have pretty crazy bombs as well.

Under Defeat Soukyugurentai Psyvariar 2 Giga Wing 1 & 2 (these are probably considered desperation attacks, and not actual bombs. Who cares. They still look pretty. ). Darius Gaiden DoDonpachi Raiden II R-Type Delta RayCrisis

i think the reason why UD's bomb is more appealing is cuz most bombs from other shmups are of the "flash! omgs wtf?! BOOM!" fullscreen attacks, they are quick and sudden, a quick burst of randomness, you can't actually point out what happens , ,.. but in UD, the bomb attack hasa slight build up, and you can actually see a detailed imagery of each tiny destruction bit-by-bit...
I don't like Under Defeat's bomb.
Maybe I need to play it more, but it seems to me like it does very little damage to enemies/ mostly just cancels bullets.
Looks cool
Am I right about that?
Giga Wing firebomb rules. Also Darius gaiden.
I like the Garegga bombs.

Pretty much. It does a bit of damage at the end of the bomb though.
so long and tanks for all the spacefish unban shw <Megalixir> now that i know garegga is faggot central i can disregard it entirely
<Megalixir> i'm stuck in a hobby with gays
Raiden DX; the "regular" bomb. Turnn off the music, and KABOOOOOOM!!!! I have never before, or sense, seen or heard a shmup bomb that looks that good and sounds so awesome! When you let one of those rip, you know that you've just bombed the crap out of your enemies!
I've always liked the bomb in Flying Shark, as well-the way it circles around and keeps slamming into enemies is fantastic!

Farewell to hollow words
Farewell to fake affection
Farewell, tomorrow burns"
I'm partial to the nukes in Raiden I & II. You drop it, it goes FFFEEEOOOWWW, and BOOOOMMMM!!! Hugeass explosion! I like how it takes out the scenery as well.
1 - the "judge spear" ' s bomb in RF2 seems so powerfull... i love it
2 - the "Kingfisher" 's "Spark Bombaaaaaaa" in Gigawing 2 (in fact, i enjoy the yell)
3- Truxton 2
there's 2 loops? cool.
i was thinking of gettng it (not in the immediate futire) since i like twin cobra and stuff, but the video kinda scared me.
8th boss that fires 5-6 slow bullets, then dies from 2 bombs that are supposed to be weak (according to people in this thread) gives a strange impression.

Try it without the bombs and its an entirely different story =P
