      >angry anime poster upset his weebshit "shmup" is just hiding in the safe zones while pretty patterns of seizure lights dance around him
      The only reason people give a shit about the one on the right is because of the generic anime girls and the easy pattern recognition.

    SHMUPS are like fighting games.
    People talk a lot about them but barely anyone plays them.

    In Touhou, the hitboxes and bullets are really 1 pixel big. It's easy.

    Hard Shmups are a meme by asian gays

    The best ones are easy, have amazing soundtrack and are literally the peak of pick-up and play, like Therion or Wings of Thunder.

      To be honest I kind of agree.
      Not that all hard ones are not worth the effort but most indeed are a waste of time

        ketsui and most cave games are worth it, toaplan, irem and more too.
        most shooters are good rather than only easy ones being good, the issue of most people is that the genre has been lied by ignorance that is ultra hard when it has an average difficulty, the hardest games on the genre have a higher difficulty than anything else by having ridiculous requirements for getting onto the true last bosses rather than by the games being impossible, mixed with most people outside of it think that you are moving the entire character instead of one pixel makes for persons who believe that you need to be a god to play them.
        most hard ones are worth it like any game by having cool gameplay, you aren't losing your time when you are having fun which these games always give like any other, is just that they tackle different themes and situations.

    I'm guessing it's that the one on the right moves in a consistent pattern and the one on the left doesn't?

      yeah without ever playing a shmup you pretty much cracked the code
      also touhou has pretty small hitboxes while most oldschool shmups your hitbox covers most of the sprite and obstacles are meaty

        left can be beaten first try as it mostly depends on your skill
        right needs a good/long time of trial and error to figure out how to handle stupid shit

        i know which one is better

      Yamame final is RNG aiming and has back-bullets with micrododging.
      Left is aimed.

    How hard is ZeroRanger, because it's kicking my ass harder than I remember the last shmup I played kicking it, which was Ikaruga twenty years ago

      pretty easy.
      it's an excellent game but on a rate of difficulty is a 4/10
      as a game is a 10/10 and a good starting shooter.

      2all is decently hard, especially for a beginner, and especially if you are not using the best loadout. It's also harder due to lack of practice options.

      pretty easy.

    You haven't played Touhou then. Unlike most SHMUPS, ZUN is more focused on pattern design as an extension of the character rather than for pure difficulty.

    Psikyo games are very hard on normal and insanely hard on anything higher
    Big hitboxes
    Fast bullets
    Very punishing patterns
    Enemies have high health on average
    Your shots and bombs generally aren't very strong

    Psikyo was a top tier developer though easily top 5 greatest shmup developers of all time

    Touhou games are much easier than they look arguable some of the easiest danmaku
    Tiny hitboxes, slow bullets, etc...
    Zun can't really hold a candle to the greatest shmup devs either

    right isn't shmup it's danmaku.
