Recommended tate shmups for newbies to the Genre I’ve played many horizontal shooters from classic consoles but want to take the dive into cave games. So far I’ve tried donpachi and dodonpachi with great difficulty. What got you into bullet hells/shmups? Also stick vs controller?
>>9590227cotton 2 was my first, i recommend raystorm for beginners
I played Raiden and thought it was fun
The one that has music you like. They are all the same shit
>>9590227Give Espgaluda a try.
>>9590227try dodonpachi daioujou. it's kino. it's got top tier waifus and huge explosions. It's hard as balls, but just keep adding coins.
>>9590340imagine unironically playing nonsensical dogshit like this lmao.
>>9590227play zeroranger, then go play all the retro shmups it references.
>>9590227Donpachi, Dodonpachi, Gunbird 1&2 and Batrider is what got me into the genre.
Someone here said Tiger-Heli was a good beginner shmup, but I watched a Shmup Junkie video where he said it was too hard for beginners. What do you guys think?
>>9590467Tiger-Heli is probably the best beginner shmup there is as it forces you to learn all of the basics to complete it without dying, and also has very forgiving checkpoints. Ideally, you want to practice sections without dying though, as you can just brute-force through sections with dying. It's just a very basic game that beginners would probably find too primitive/boring, and the main flaw is just that the terrain and enemies are so limited that it's hard to actually know/memorize which section you're at because it all flows together.
Just say shoot em up. You disgraceful fuckers.It's already an abbreviation.
>>9590475Just say "shooter" or "shooting game".
>>9590351Makes sense to me. Maybe get your brain checked.
>>9590227Go play Mars Matrix.
>>9590467It's a good beginner shooter in general, even if somewhat rough around the edges. I think it's a nice middle ground between arcade Galaga/Xevious style games and more proper shmups that came later on
>>9590227>Recommended tate shmups for newbies to the GenreGradius II Famicom version. I really, really hated Gradius ever since I played the first game for the NES. I didn't really know how do get good at the game after losing my power-ups time and time again, and with not enough power-up capsules to recover, I gave up. Years later I played Famicom version of the second game and I finally started to catch on, eventually mastering this particular game and taking on the others in the series.>>9590258>The one that has music you like. They are all the same shitYou need some practice.
>>9590227>tate shmups99% of shmups is tate, poser.>>9590496Haha
>>9590514That wasn't a joke, a suggestion or even a warning. It was a threat.
>>9590270I have a 3:4 vertical setup
>>95905141. I stated I was new to the genre 2. Most nes, snes, genesis, neo geo, ect shooters I’ve played default to 4:3 horizontal even if the playfield is vertical for some. Look at the touhou games. Vertical field of play but displays horizontally
What was the first shmup you ever beat without abusing continues?
>>9590609Gradius lol
the one that made me love the genre is life force for nes
>>9590227Deep down they're all pretty much the same and everyone always recommends the same old ones so here's my list with a few twists and games that don't immediately come to mind when we think of shmups:Parodius: Non-Sense Fantasy (SNES)Psyvariar 2: The Will to Fabricate (Xbox)DoDonPachi DaiOuJou (PS2/Xbox)Space Invaders (GBC)Radiant Silvergun (Saturn)ESP Ra. De. (PS2)Soukyugurentai (Saturn)Twinkle Star Sprites (Neo Geo)Cho Aniki Bakuretsu Ranto-hen (SNES)Warning Forever (Windows)Bangai-O (Dreamcast)Panzer Dragoon Saga (Saturn)Panzer Dragoon Orta (Xbox)Pocky & Rocky (SNES)Iridion II (GBA)Sin & Punishment (N64)Lords of Thunder (TurboGrafx)Sengoku Ace (Arcade/PS2)Rez (PS2)Touhou Koumakyou: the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil (Windows)Sonic Wings 3 (Neo Geo)Just remember if the cover art has a cute anime girl then it's worth playing.>>9590475I just call them STGs now.
>>9590227Top 10 shmup developers, if your list differs from this you are simply WRONG.KonamiToaplan (pre-Ikeda, who ruined the shmup genre with tranmaku garbage)NamcoIREMTaitoRaizingSeibuPsikyoNMKTecnosoft
>>9590639didn't ikeda work on batsugun?
>>9590652Yes, and V-V (the first ever case of a SHMUP using smaller hitboxes in order to make dodging easier for casual plebs).
I like all shooting games. I don't know why everyone is so decisive about liking one kind or the other, they are all fun.
>>9590340One of the few worthwhile ones mentioned here. Fun mechanics, maybe the best slowdowns in the genre and actually unique OSTsWith all the hot garbage mentioned here, I also don't know if I should be sad or happy that Ikaruga isn't mentioned which actually has core mechanics that make it fun and distinct from everything else
>>9590834>>9589942
>>9590227Raiden II (or DX if you need babby mode) perfected the TATE shmup. Go play it.
>>9591724Raiden 2 is just a worse Raiden 1 which in itself is just an inferior K-Tiger clone.
Some of my favsMega Drive:Twinkle TaleGaiaresArrow FlashPanorama CottonPC Engine:Burning AngelMagical ChaseCoryoon
Redpill me on UN Squadron
>>9591736>Raiden 2 is just a harder Raiden 1 which in itself is a superior K-Tiger clone.fixed.Raiden 2 is more action packed than 1 and that's a good thing. Yes it's harder so it will filter even good players
>>9591830Overrated game with ridiculous amount of slowdown.
>>9591843I wish it didn't hit you so hard with Gradius syndrome. Having to gamble to get your powerups back is such a lame way to make the game more difficult than it already is.
>>9591860play the US versions which has respawning instead of checkpoints
>>9591860yes it's a big boy game, learning checkpoints is a skill and so is picking up powerups again
>Finally beat Radiant Silvergun saturn mode>Took 20 credits>On normal>Boss patterns and are all completely different on very hardFuck. Guys I'm not sure a 1cc is in the cards for me on this one
For me? It's the NES version of Dragon Spirit
>>9591863>>9592069Raiden II does not have checkpoints.
>>9590227its totally compatible with the GC controller toothis collection have probably one of the bests STG titles of the century
>>9592079>Raiden II does not have checkpoints.Raiden 2 (Jap version) has checkpoints.The US version doesn't, too hard for westerns
life force (nes)abadox (nes)good starter shmups
>>9592089Damn you're retarded. Try actually playing these games before commenting on them. Only Raiden 1 JP has checkpoints, Raiden 2 is instant respawn.
>>9590467Hishouzame for dadshitDodonpachi for bullet hell (first loop really isn't that hard and you can bomb most of the last 2 stages if you get cornered, and it has a really good difficulty curve unlike stuff like Espgaluda)
>>9592129Not him but ackchually Raiden 2 JP has checkpoints if you play on Player 2 side. P2 side isn't interesting to pick because of that, the only advantage is that you get cluster bombs instead of the red ones.
>>9592129>Damn you're retarded. Try actually playing these ...kek I actually play Raiden 2 (Player 2 side) for the added challenge and checkpoint hell>>9592279yes the red ship is better (Red starts with the inferior bomb type but gets more bombs due to the item sequencing)
>>9592129lol
based raiden chads
>>9592094>abadox (nes)>good starter shmupit's really punishing if you die since you powerdown recovery is really hard
>>9590227play one cave game pretty much played them all.>stick vs controllerboth.if you are having to ask for recommendation for a shooter, you should just stick to jrpgs.
>>9590349New port of it coming out soon too, by M2 who are usually solid. It's a shame they never release anything on PC
Are shmups underappreciated /vr/?
For a beginner SNES Parodius was a game I managed to finish as a kid.ESP Rade is my choice. JP version is a bit easier on default settings, even a beginner can do 3 stages
>>9593215The way social media is, i'd argue literally everything is underappreciated.Let people like what they like. Shmups are a niche and that's fine, but fuck people who think it's not a valid game genre to like.
>>9590227Sonic Wings 3 and Strikers 1945.I think they're fairly easy as well.
>>9593385>Sonic Wings 3Boring, rather play some Rapid Hero.
These are all good.
>>9590496Stop that.
>>9593960>Gradius V>R-Type FinalWhat do you think of the previous games?
>>9593981Play it.
>>9593985It's not on my sd card. Yet.
>>9590609Aero Fighters for the Genesis.
i feel so unsatisfied when i pick spread fire ships yet they're the only ones i'm good with
>>9593983I like Gradius III and IV, but I feel like V is more fun to replay, and more fair. I like the concept of Gradius games, the music, lots of powerups and the levels, but they are so damn brutal and unfair sometimes, to the point where you might as well quit after dying once.With the R-Type games I've only played the arcade, Super R-Type and R-Type III. Three is my favorite of those, and Final just edged it out for my top 9. I love the force system and power-ups in that game, but after the first level the game becomes incredibly hard.
Is there any gameplay difference between Gradius (arcade) and Nemesis? Or between Gradius II and Vulcan Venture?
Kingdom Grand Prix
For me, I just got 1CC Abadox (nes). This game is great, fun level design similar to Salamander, and you should play it, awesome music and visuals so replaying doesnt get old
>>9594457>I like Gradius III and IV, but I feel like V is more fun to replay, and more fair.To be fair, III & IV are widely regarded as the hardest games lol (I'm assuming you're emulating the PS2 port) I think my top 3 for Gradius would be II, Gaiden and V.>With the R-Type games I've only played the arcade, Super R-Type and R-Type IIINice. III is a favorite of mine too but 1 will always have the nostalgia factor since it was one of my first STGs. Delta is also really good. It's fast paced by R-Type standards and it rewards you quite nicely for using your force pod as a battering ram.
>>9594928>Critics have generally looked at Abadox favorably for its design, but negatively for its high level of difficulty
>>9594616>Gradius (arcade) and Nemesis?Nemesis has harder enemies (more aggressive), but it's easy to power-up after death since everything will drop power-up capsules for a while
>>9595038the last stage is hard and if u die you wont be recovering
>>9594928based vrocs
What is the best weapon loadout?
>>9595486indeed
>>9594957>To be fair, III & IV are widely regarded as the hardest games lol (I'm assuming you're emulating the PS2 port) I think my top 3 for Gradius would be II, Gaiden and V.V is harder than IV imo

>>9590227All depend on what you are looking for.Any shmup can be your first it really, depend on the dedication you want to poor on it, even more true when nowdays you have training tools, adjustable auto fire,rewind and save states which make the training way more efficient and short.Also be aware that some games can be average to hard to 1CC but very hard to insane 2ALL ( 2nd Loop), some Psikyo games are like this for example.Now for the recommendation I try to give you some easily emulated or game available on steam or ACA :Relatively easy.Dariusburst AC : depend on the route but it mostly easy/mild hard at best for an 1CC)Akai Katana got released last month it's a mild difficulty cave with a lot of thing to learn from.Area 88 is fun arcade game you may learn movement and placement, learning curve is kind of flat but expect a small pick at level 5. give the snes/sfc version a try too.NormalR-type leo is kind of the same you may also learn some stuff about force and option (harder at level 4).Fighting Hawk is close to Area 88 but as a verti. not too hard not too easy Metal Black is between the 2 but you won't learn that much from as the game is weird AF.some others weird shmup ; fun but wont learn much from them.Xexex mild 1CC on the japanese version. (2all is another story)X-Multiply is slightly harder to 1CC but at least you won't have a burnout dealing with it 2ALL even if it's hard.Mild hardGame Tengoku is cute nice and fun and you will learn tons of shit and tricks, but 2ALL is on another story, way too hard for it own good.Dragon Spirit is old but it one of my favorite games ever, it come from a time where you needed a separate button to shoot sol enemies. Maybe a little bit long and learning curve can be a bitch.Outzone depend on the version and weapon management can be a nice game to pick.Also most Psikyo and Cave games 1CC can be put here.
>>9595495Everything on the second row.
>>9594928Natsume wanted to be Konami so bad, it's pretty funny. They made some good games though.
>>9595586>no checkpoints + gives you your options back upon death, Salamander 2-style>V's only hard stage is the penultimate one, meanwhile IV hits you like a brick by level 3>options that let you aim in any direction for easier stages, or freeze them in place for easier point-blanking of bosses>small 1x1-pixel hitboxes>doubles the basic bullet limit, making it much easier to kill enemies when you have more bullets to fireNah, IV is the second hardest Gradius after III. V is a casual walk in the park by comparison.
Top 5 Genesis/Mega Drive schmups please and thanks
>>9595641Based
>>9596282Thunder Force IVEliminate DownBio-Hazard BattleMusha AlesteGranada
>>9596282Above list is pretty good but I'd swap MUSHA with Silpheed if we're counting Sega CD.https://youtu.be/GFia6OptDQ0?t=1443
>>9590227I 2-ALL'd ZeroRanger a couple of days ago. Finding a new SHMUP to sink my teeth into turned way harder than expected. PLS recommend me good shit which is not bullet hell/danmaku/cave style which was made for PC home consoles first, and not arcades. I don't like the arcade made STGs. tried probably 2 dozen and bounced off of em all.
>>9596350one of zeroranger's main influences was cho ren sha 68k which is a free oneit kinda looks like shit on modern computers though because like all old japanese games, it's locked at some low resolution and you have to work around that
>>9594457The R-Type play order is (imo):Super R-Type (with slowdown removal patches)R-Type Leo (can skip or play after III)R-Type III: The Third LightningR-Type Delta
>>9596361It's on my list already, I wanted to play the 1.00 68k version but couldn't find a download for it.
So what would be the longest shmup ever made?
>>9596548Truxton II, probably.
>>9596548Tyrian 2000 and Jets'n'Guns Gold
>>9596343>>9596349Thank you brothers much appreciate. Are the earlier Thunder Force worth playing? Are they redundant compared to just playing 4? I've always thought Silpheed looked sick so will definitely check that out.
>>9596641>Tyrian 2000Just looked this up on youtube and that PC Longplay channel has a video up of it at 2:33:11
>>9596746Baby status.Meanwhile Boredom has the Raiden 2 world records, 44 loops at 26 hours straight playtimehttps://twitter.com/boredom_79/status/931272230390046720
>>9596679TFIII is good if you want a quick n easy 1cc with some really banging Genesis tunes. Actually, I should have included Gley Lancer on my list for that same reason.TFII is a lot different from its sequels in that it alternates between sidescrolling and top-down free range shooting (like Asteroids) It's good once you're adjusted to it tho
>>9596786Right but I was just asking about shmup length is all since the genre is known to be a pick up and play short arcade style of games.
>>9590496post videos of you chaining stage 4 for starters
raiden 1 and 2
>>9590639Where is Tecmo, CAVE and G.Rev?
>>9597164>Tecmomeh, not top 10 material>CAVEway better when they were toaplan desu>and G.Revway better when they were taito desu
>>9597206>CAVE>way better when they were toaplan desuCan't get any more contrarian than this lolhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shhk239SeTs
>>9597220yeah 90s toaplan was kind of a mess desu, they peaked in the late 80s with twin cobra, truxton and fire shark which are better than anything CAVE has ever produced.
>>9596350Blue Revolver
>>9596350Wolflame, on steamHas online leaderboards, currently chav aka clp is in #1 spot with 12mill INSANE mode clear
>>9597315I want to wait for the revised version that is in dev before I try Blue Revolver.
Played Steam Hearts the other day really enjoyed it.You are on a mission to cure an illness that is mind controlling the rulers of your planet.The cure is in your penis
Philosoma if you want every stage in another perspective>>9594901CHICKEN IS NO NEED!
>>9598864>The cure is in your penisI know what I'm playing tonight.
>>9599043Here is the player character arriving to "administer" the "antidote" to the princess of one kingdom
>>9597852It's never coming out brah
>>9596679They are all good, some do not like II because they don't like the free movement stages and have no sense of direction, but Thunder Force is a great series of games.
>>9594928What other games had a similar aesthetics to Abadox and Life Force?
People are too concerned about getting 1CC when i actually want to finish the game first then decide later if i want to master it and get 1CC.I played Striker 1945, Ikagura and Hellsinker so far and couldn't finish any of them let alone 1CC it, are these games not beginner friendly or what?
>>9599698>Ikaguranot beginner friendly at all anon
>>9598972
>>9599578X-multiply. It's another good hori with similar art style
I just finished this, the very first shmup i legitimally beat, it's fun but how is it regarded here?
>>9600141Super Cobra is where it's at, very good and way ahead of its time for 1981.
>>9590486Yeah they can be called shooter since FPS has its own genre now.
>>9592081I could never get into Chaos Field but God do I love Radirgy and Karous. Also is it just me or are the audio levels in this version fucked?
>>9593215Most definitely, these games don't get the respect they deserve. Referring to pre-bullet hell games
Cybattler is a multi directional shmup with one stick, a melee attack and checkpoint continues.
what are some lesser played shmups that are ripe for SCORING?
>>9599883>less gameplay than Asura's Wrath
>>9601510Sapphire on PCE has a pretty fun scoring system.
>>9599698I agree ppl are too concerned with 1cc when they should be engaging with shmup scoring as well
>>9603236again, I rather finish a game first before deciding if I want to waste my time with scoring when I may not even like the game in the first place.
>>9603304Obviously you have to play a game to see if you like it. And with shmups simply seeing the end is trivial with credit feeding and save states....
>>9590227>stick vs controller?Keyboard d-pad if not possible
>>9590227>What got you into shmups? I played Deathsmiles as my first shmup game because of the girls, I've been hooked in the genre since then.
Were shmups appreciated during the retro years? I was alive during the 90's but I can't recall if people actually liked them or not. I was too young maybe. I do know that at least arcades had them and also fighting games.
>>9605031I'd believe stuff like pic related pretty much speaks for itself, at least from a western perspective.
>>9605083First time ever seeing this game kek. I'm sure at least some shmups had to be appreciated though. Also like I said I do remember them at some places such as arcades or those play places for kids, theaters, even restaurants. In fact my local theater has a few arcade machines and iirc one of them was a shmup.
>>9590227Gun Nac, and the guardian legend are my favorite on NES
>>9605031I enjoyed playing them when I was in the arcades back in the 90s. Playing UN Squadron at local pizza joint was fun as it was only a half mile down the road, and quarter plays compared to a lot of 50 cent plays in our local arcade
>>9605163based tastes. Guardian Legend is my number 1 NES game. Compile really could make a good game.
>>9599578Eliminate Down and Strato Fighter maybe?
>>96050312 quarters would last like 10-30 mins on fighting games (for me), while 2 quarters would last 4-6 minutes on a shmup. As a teen it didn't make economic sense and not many people played so couldn't learn from others, meanwhile guys were eager to tutor new players at fighting games and I made some good friends that way
I've been fucking loving this game the last month or so. I can almost 2cc hard mode on arcade
>>9605364isn't eliminate down a meme shooter because of its price? I will look into strato fighter as I never seen that one
>>9606530lol, lmao babies first shooter. Look at how tiny that hit box is when you would have been killed in a proper shooter by many of those hits. might as well stick with cave games and jrpgs if you need something easy to play
>>9608227I nominate you for the most retarded post in all of 4chan. Congratulations!
Override is quite good - for PCE, I'm no expert on shmups and I beat it in 2 days. Good ost. Kinda pricey though, got it for 50bucks for 2 days gameplay, I still recommend it as a beginners shmup.Other shmups I've beaten which should be ok fo beginners: Thunder Force 3, Wonder Boy 3: Monster Lair (beaten on hardest). Zero Wing (stayed up a whole night to beat it, last few levels were pretty hard for me). GleyLancer. Battlemania. I've tried Gunhed and it's easy until last level that filters me big time. Elemental Master. Ye, i've mostly played on MD.
>>9595495Missile, Vertical, laser doesn't matter, R.Option, reduce, and either full barrier or mega crushThat's how I got my first 1cc anyway, With vertical and missile, plus rotating options you basically annihilate everything in front, above and below you without having even think. Reduce seems like the best shield by far as not only does it reduce your hitbox, and still acts as a shield and absorbs multiple hits
>>9608237He's right though.
I saw a horizontal shmup in an arcade cabinet a long time ago, must have been mid/late 90s. The attract mode showed a "wall of guns" type boss and one of the weapons it had shot diagonal laser bolts that had a candy cane-like spiral pattern. I can't really remember anything else for sure. Anyone knows what game I'm thinking about?I started thinking about it yesterday and checked through videos of dozens of games from around that era and before, but didn't find it.
Been playing Kingdom Grand Prix for arcade, is a sequel to Sorcer Striker which is also solid. This one has some racing mechanics
>>9608223I don't know how much it costs but I like Eliminate Down more than Thunder Force IV, Gradius II or R-Type II for example.
>>9590351Reading that makes more sense than your average fighting game lingo that requires hours and hours to understand.Fuck we were playing footsies and he Korean back dashed into a ball tickler uppercut followed by an ass licker combo
Toaplan's Slap Fight is underrated.
>>9590227console gamers never got to experience the greatest shmup of the 90's
>>9608295Why were Raizing so much better at pulling off gimmicks in their games than Trashure?
>>9591830>JP name is 'Area 88'>Actually a licensed game>Has a spiritual successor in 'U.S. Navy', also known as 'Carrier Air Wing' outside of JapanPic unrelated, if you want simple score attack here's something to try on NES.

>>9612679but in the sequel she grew up well...
>>9612693
What's a good shmup with fast bullets (not slow ass danmaku shit)

>>9613271I wonder whose replay you ripped that from. I know you're certainly not good enough to get that far :^)
>>9613271That's already too fast for me.
>>9613271Yet you needed 4 credits to reach fifth boss at the lowest rank possible to capture this shitfest. Impressive skill Lmao
>>9613271would be impressive if you had a normal hit box of the ship and not a tiny point that you were worried about. cave games are shit for retards that can't dodge in normal shooters
>>9613409Spoken like a true clueless newfagIf you dodge that means you're shit at the game
>>9613416what do you play euro shmups where you can take dozens of hits before you die?
>>9590351>You autobomb but it uses 2 bombs if you are hit while time is slowed down>You can slow down time>If you overuse your slow down time ability time speeds up temporarily.Brainlet.
>>9613416How to beat hibachi without dodging genius?
>>9612707Wow shmups look like that?!
i still don't know why you wouldn't pick exy in DOJ
>>9612191Mushihimesama Futari is definitely one of CAVE's best shmups. Definitely agree on the graphics and music too. So vibrant.
I fucking love Eschatos. Everyone needs to play Eschatos.
>>9614675Is that retro?
>>9596548Maybe Toy Robo Force. There's also Sigma Star Saga where you walk around like an RPG and the random battles take you to shmup segments.

This genre is truly a lonely genre. I'll take the eagletpill.
>>9617098nah, you should just drop shmups (shit tier genre) and play good genres like fighters, fps, rts, stack em ups which take real skill, not just memorising and grinding runs until you win
>>96170984chan and some YouTube videos is all you need to discover new games, zoomer sites are retarded by definition.

What other shmups give you a lot of weapons to play around with? Ive really been enjoying RS because you just have 7 different weapons at your disposable and it's fun to learn how to use all of yours tools optimally. Not retro but ZeroRanger does something similar and I like it a lot there too

>>9618416It's like autists decided to imitate sports fans bantering but being the retarded autists that they are they cranked it up to eleven that the threads became unbearabale.
