    I've been playing R-Type 2 and Twinkle Star Sprites casually, I should probably put more effort since I'm pretty close to no-missing TSS

      Good luck with Memory, she's the single reason why I have like 3 1-miss runs in the game.

        Yeah, it's annoying how the game lulls you before ramping up the difficulty for that fight. I've 1CCd it before but it doesn't feel like you've really beaten the game.

      R type 2 final is a huge pain in the ass, so many untelegraphed screen filling attacks, it's like a memory game on top of a shmup.

      Battle Garegga is way too hard for a newbie. Otherwise, it's good, although I don't know if Panzer Dragoon can be considered a shmup. Consider playing the Thunder Cross games, they're like Gradius but easier, very good for newcomers.

        I may be a shmup newbie, but I've played a lot of super hard games before. The more challenging the better I think.

        Some of these games are entry level (Tyrian, Thunder Force) and Garegga is an end boss game. I'd go with something like Dodonpachi or Vasara 2 at first. Fun, hard and complex but not overwhelming. If you play something too easy you'll just get bored

        >Dodonpachi or Vasara 2
        Not a fan of the anime aesthetic or bullet hell style gameplay though

          If you're not a fan of bullet hells then that definitely leaves Garegga off the table for you. Even at low rank the game really piles it on towards the end.

            Enjoying a game is way more important to 1CC'ing a game than difficulty.

          In that case check out Seibu and Psikyo games, they're more twitch-based with less screen clutter. Raiden Fighters 1 and Strikers 1945 II are nice entry points. Also, Gradius and R-Type were great from the start so don't skip the first games.

                Can anyone recommend games like strikers 1945? Tried a lot of shmups but nothing has matched it, I like how it handles difficulty and the aesthetic is so good

      Decent, but I wonder if it's even possible for people to "get into" the genre anymore. Like, do you expect to clear ANY of those games? Do you enjoy climbing score ladders?

      Play Batrider instead. Better in every way. Make sure you look up how to manage rank for either game.
      Gaiden
      One of the greats, definitely check out Darius 2 as well if you like it

      Garbage
      Gaiden
      Haven't played it but supposed to be one of the best Gradius games. Personally I'd just start with Gradius 1 though

      Garbage
      Black
      Replace this with Rayforce. Metal Black is just Darius but without any of the elements that make Darius good
      Dragoon Zwei
      No opinion
      Silvergun
      Don't do two treasure games. Both are shit, but you might like them.
      >>R-Type Delta
      Again, just play R-Type 1 or Leo (which doesnt play like a R-Type game)
      Force IV
      Terrible game. Play Gate of Thunder, it's like Thunder Force but not complete shit.
      2000
      Not played it, heard it's very euroshmuppy but also unique

              Batrider fixes bullet visibility, character variety, medalling, rank management, the broken autofire, the shitty option formation system, balances the ship variants (A, B, C, ABC) to actually be an interesting trafeoff, has way more interesting secrets, and actually rewards Gold Standard play instead of requiring suicides

                You don’t even play garegga. All of those are features, not flaws that need ”fixing”. Ship variety is great in garegga btw.

                If you don't even understand what I mean then you clearly haven't played Garegga beyond a surface level.

                Batrider just takes Garegga fixes the jank and improves it on nearly every aspect. The only reason to prefer Garegga is if you just really prefer the dieselpunk aesthetic.

    I always found Plutos on the Atari ST intensely comfy. It's a very basic shooter that's just what you'd expect, but it's got a cute little single screen setup with a lot of fun stuff happening on it, interesting field designs and enemy shapes, always had fun trying to see how far I could get just to see how much the space station landscape would change and the increasingly weird "boss face" that starts out with eyes and gradually gets teeth and other obstacles that need to be shot. As a kid I imagined it just went on forever.
