2011 shmups goals thread

[Aguraki]

-Donpachi:2-5 would make me really happy(2-2 right now).
-Looping 2 other games to be determined(gradius and dodonpachi come in my mind but probably gonna change).
-getting into PCB and a good arcade stick.

gotta stay humble with these cause I play other games,can't do everything.

what's yours?

[Sasupoika]

1. Ketsui 2-ALL.
2. Get DFK.

[burgerkingdiamond]

1cc the first loop of Futari Original, probably will be using Reco, normal.

I can get to the 5th level pretty regularly but still haven't got to Larsa on 1 credit yet. And when I do, God knows what the hell I'm gonna do about it. She scares me.

[DragonInstall]

get top 10 on esp2bl leaderboard. currently 19


Get ura loop in dfk

[mesh control]

1cc Mushi Futari with a respectable score.
1cc Giga Wing 2 and Mars Matrix with awesome scores.

Does Futari Original loop? I didn't think it did, but could be wrong.

My goal is to add to my 1cc list. Getting fairly close on several games, including Shikigami no Shiro II and Espgaluda. I also should definitely be able to 1cc Deathsmiles, I just haven't played it much yet (died to last boss last several credits, with bombs left--doh!).

I'd love to make progress with DoDonpachi. Currently I can't get past stage 4, but after lots of save state practice I'm feeling pretty good about the last few boss fights. Just gotta learn the last few stages now (using A-L).

Hmm it's a good question. I was assuming that it did but, you may know better than me. If it doesn't loop I'd be stoked because then when I do finally clear it I won't have to try and torture myself learning the second loop.

Can anybody clear this up?

[spadgy]

Just ticked off my last 2010 goal (beat Skykid's Progear JPN score) so it's time to look forward.

There's a few oldies I want to 1-ALL:

Raiden
Raiden 2
Prehistoric Isle 2
Ashura Blaster

I'd also like to find a Mushi PCB and 1-ALL that, and go back to Futari and DOJ.

Picking up an ESPy II PCB would be great too.

There's a ton on my shelves/on my WTB list in the 'must get round to playing properly' pile. Darius series, Einhander, plenty of Toaplan stuff...

[crackfox]

To 1CC something!!!!
Still cant pass Stage 4 on Progear (Just got to Boss and got 5 mill for first time)
DDP can get to Stage 5 but normally on last life with no bombs left...
Ketsui... (Dream on) Stage 3 is a real shitter!!! Have got to boss a few times but get killed quite quickly!!!
Batrider... Got to final boss on normal mode loads of times... just cant seem to kill the bee- atch!!!!
If i can 1CC just one of these i would be very happy!!!

Futari doesn't loop.

[EPS21]

In order from most important to least:

get 100bil+ in DFK 1.5, and to get to the ura loop
1CC God Mode in mushi futari with a score of 3bil+
1CC EspgaludaII again with a better score (current is around 250mil)
1CC Ketsui

aaaand...
Max out all the achievements in as many cave shmups as possible

[burgerkingdiamond]

Futari doesn't loop.[/quote]

Thanks for that. I thought that all CAVE games had second loops (although I've never made it to one).

[DragonInstall]

nah. Deathsmiles doesnt loop, espgaluda II doesnt, and mushi also doesnt.

Frankly I dont really enjoy games with loops.. too long imo.

[Demetori]

Isn't Daifukkatsu like 30mins long.

[NR777]

ESP Ra.De, Guwange, ESPGaluda, Akai Katana, DSII, DFKBL and Dangun don't loop either.

[PROMETHEUS]

DoDonPachi Dai Ou Jou Black Label 2-ALL I guess ? Not sure that will happen in 2011.

You'll get it. Stick to one at a time, keep drilling away, read everything you can to maxmise score and get you those extends (add 2m more to your progear score and you'll have another life for that boss!), and watch superplays!

[Demetori]

Okay back on topic~

I would like to get to the fourth stage in DoDonPach: Daioujou...

[NR777]

I'd like to finally 1CC Mushi Futari BL and 1.5 Original. The third boss and Larsa regularly fuck me up...I can No Miss the rest of the game. I want to pass 200mil in Vanilla DS and clear Muchi Muchi Pork! with a decent score when it arrives for me in March.

[mirkvid]

I gotta 1cc Futari 1.5 original and my ESPRaDe pcb..... I just moved and haven't really had time to in 2010.

Also got to get a JP 360 to play all the games I've bought for it!

[Despatche]

-play ketsui/doj/espgal more and harder
-get into gradius

[spadgy]

and my ESPRaDe pcb

I should do that to mine too!

[sirmax]

- 1cc something on normal difficulty (so no Futari Novice mode or such)
- building myself an mamecabinet out of an old cupboard

[Matskat]

1cc Espgaluda

It'll be my first 1cc...I'm getting there

Stages 1-3 are no problem now...Practicing stage 4...

I see this as a very real prospect...my first 1cc

IF I can 1cc it on PS2 or MAME, I'll buy myself the board to celebrate

[third_strike]

ALL 10 shmups I never alled before.

[RNGmaster]

- 1CC Vasara (1 or 2) and Progear JPN version.
- Stay on the Crimzon Clover scoreboards (pref. top 10)
- ALL one game I've never heard of
- Keep going to meets
- Stay interested in shmups

[Kaiser]

- 1CC Dodonpachi dai-ou-jou 1-ALL with Hibachi included (It's certainly possible to happen in 2011. Unlike 2-all which would'nt happen till 2013)
- 1CC Dimahoo (DAMN YOU FINAL STAGE! AAAAA)
- 1CC 19XX (I'll slap anyone who says that game is easy)
- 1CC Ketsui 1-ALL

Now goals I want to achieve outside shmups

- 1CC Knights of the Round (Reached final stage with lancelot on 1 coin, that's when I hit the unbeatable wall)
- 1CC Armored Warriors (Reached stage 6 boss on 1 coin with Blodia)

HOWEVER the main problem is, I don't have time to practice each of them on dedicated mode due tons of schoolwork. So i'm limited to one full run per week in each game (including credit feeding)

Use save states.

[dunpeal2064]

I really need some more 1ccs under my belt. Mushi Futari, Deathsmiles, and Mars Matrix are my current goals

Also, I know absolutely nothing about pcbs, how to go about collecting and playing them, or any of that. So within the next year I'd like to learnup on this and maybe invest in some of the cheaper ones to start.

Getting an arcade stick was a goal, but I got the SFIV stick for x-mas.

Also, I own a shmup on all of my consoles aside my saturn, and this makes me very sad. This must be fixed, once I can decide which one to get first

[saucykobold]

I'd like to clear both loops of R-Type II, get better at Raiden DX's Training course, and beat the ninja in Gun.Smoke. With any luck, I'll pick up some assorted 1CC's along the way.
