HOW THE FUCK DO I GIT GUD AT THESE GAMES

EVERY OTHER GENRE OF VIDEOGAMES IS A FUCKING JOKE COMPARED TO 2D SHOOTERS HOLY FUCK!!!!!!

You get good by having fun
>2d shooters
Yes I'm well aware it's bait.

it's because 'shmup' sounds like a retarded term

I could say "STG" but nobody would know what I meant

it's impossible to have fun at anything when you suck and get your face stomped by level 5 of dodonpachi for 2 straight months

Ok my personal strategy was
.___________________________get__________________good

I expected that, but some people just don't have the genetics to gitgud. It's really quite fruitless for me.

>it's impossible to have fun
Play a different game

Practice, that's pretty much all there is too it, just don't get discouraged and it'll just click one day.

I mean I'm serious if the journey isn't the reward just start a different journey

2hu is memorization. You do the same shit over and over. It's fun and it may seem hard, but it isn't difficult. Invest time into it like you would in an MMORPG and you are the master of lunatic before long.

I say "Vertical Scrolling Shooter".
Be sure to record your sessions to see where you messed up and play for at least an hour every day.

A neonazi videogame philosopher was teaching a class on Tsuneki Ikeda, known mobile phone game developer

”Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship CAVE and accept that they are the most highly-evolved shooting game developer the world has ever known, even greater than Raizing!”

At this moment, a brave, japanese superplayer who had 1cc'd 1500 touhou games on lunatic and understood the necessity of doujin games and fully supported all development decisions made by ZUN stood up and held up a burned subterranean animism CD.

”How hard is this game, pinhead?”

The arrogant CAVEfag smirked quite Jewishly and smugly replied “it's a joke, you stupid weeaboo”

”Wrong. It’s been 10 years since ZUN created it. If it was so easy, as you say… then you should have 1cc'd it on lunatic by now”

The CAVEfag was visibly shaken, and dropped his ketsui JAMMA board and copy of orgy of the will. He stormed out of the room crying those butthurt CAVEfag tears. The same tears they cry for CAVE (who today live in such luxury that most of their games are on steam) when they jealously try to claw justly earned praise from the deserving indie developers. There is no doubt that at this point our philosopher, Icycalm, wished he had pulled himself up by his bootstraps and practiced his streaming. He wished so much that he had a car to crash himself from embarrassment, but he himself had totaled his vehicle in an illegal street race in sweden!

The students applauded and all that day and accepted Reimu as their lord and savior. A hell raven named “Okuu” flew into the room and perched atop the Gensokyo Flag and shed a tear on the chalk. The touhou manga were read several times, and the Hakurei God himself showed up and enacted spell card rules across the country.

The philosopher lost his tenure and was fired the next day. He died of the greek plague Thalassemia and was tossed into the subterranean sun for all eternity.

I have been playing for an hour a day the past month, little to no progress in ketsui and DDP.

Simply too hard for my feeble little mind.

Dodonpachi is learnable for me. But Gunbird 2 feels fucking impossible from the 4th level on.

Did you invent this to upset Alex Kierkegaard?
Don't give up. You don't win by being lucky. You win by being bold! You don't think that the Superplayers got as good as they did by stopping, right?
find a coach

>Did you invent this to upset Alex Kierkegaard?

______not really

>a coach

a coach, for videogames?

Yes, this is very common with fighting games. They actually had to ban it at Evo.

a coach for shooting games would be retarded though

it's pure reflexes

A second set of eyes, especially experienced ones, is useful, though. They can say things like "Hey, in the section coming up, I notice that you veer left too far. Watch out for that within the next few seconds"

>Gunbird 2
Choose Marion, fap until you win

marion is a qt but her shot type is low tier :(

sounds like a waste

>normal is ez
TAKE IT BACK
