Let's have a celebration thread for the greatest /vr/ developer in history

>>11965107 (OP)
I’m trying to beat Alien Soldier on Superhard, but I can’t get past this guy without taking a beating. What’s the secret?

i fucking hate this board

>>11965176

The greatest developer is Nintendo and it isn't even close.

>>11965176
Boohoo, you're free to make a thread on about some random vn dev on here

I’ve tried playing Alien Soldier a few times and get so filtered by the controls. It seems like the kind of game I’d like, but the weapon switching and hover-jumping is too complicated and makes me feel retarded, I don’t know why I can’t wrap my brain around it.

>>11965107 (OP)
These guys totally revitalized the Strider brand.

>>11965275
I believe there's a 6-button patch that makes the controls less daunting.

He alternates attacks with his left and right arm, so you have to move the boat into the left and right edges of the screen in rhythm with his attacks. When the boat is pushed against the side of the screen, you can safely avoid his arm attack by i-frame dashing through it and into the edge of the screen. The edge of the screen will prevent you from falling off the boat. It's been a while but I'm pretty sure this is how I did it.

I haven't beaten it on super hard yet, but I've gotten all the way to Seven Force on that difficulty.
My big jump in capability came from me replicating some of the speedrun strategies.

The bosses where I *really* improved by trying to replicate the speedrun are:
the one you're on:
the sword spinning samurai
the blob-spewing penis alien
the butterfly
the upside down spider thingy

God Luck and Godspeed, Anon!

Their zelda games for gbc were actually decent.

1CCing this game in Saturn Mode is fucking impossible. Not only do you need to set aside 1 entire hour but you need to play near-perfectly the whole time in order to stand a chance. I have well over 100 hours in this game and I don't feel like I'm even close.

Have you tried giving yourself more lives and more generous life bonus points in the options menu? Yeah it's not quite the same as doing everything on default settings but it is an option they give you. Scoring for weapon upgrades is so difficult that I'd consider it fair play

>>11965257
bing bing wahoo

>>11965618
Both teh roms I blayed couldn't advance more then 5 minutes there goes

>>11965176
You're free to leave retard

Have you looked at the re-release of Radiant Silvergun?
Did they perhaps do to it what they did to Ikaruga with its GC release: Training mode & other convenient stuff?

>>11966010
B-but all the shmup experts on /vr/ said they blind 1cced this their first time???

I can't beat this part
Treasure, you have filtered me
I kneel

>dude ikaruga is amazing bro it's like the BEST shmup ever
Wow I'll try it out
>play it
>die constantly because the retarded gimmick sections and fights are super unclear

>>11967205
Lmao filtered

>>11965238
>a challenger appears

>>11967252
Everyone on /vr/ is a world record shmup player except for me :(

>>11967254
That's because you haven't spent enough time mastering the way of the shmup

SHMUPs are fun but the SHMUP community might be the worst in all of retro gaming

>>11965618
The ones framed out to Flagship?

>>11967306
Shmup isn't an acronym and in my experience shmupfags do not play their own games and can't comprehend anything outside shmups

>>11967321
>Shmup isn't an acronym
Sorry, I meant STGs

>>11967306
Dunno, I found anti-shmups more annoying than shmupsfags

git gud scrub

>>11965107 (OP)
We need Alien Soldier DC.

>>11967449
hell yea

>>11966906
Saturn RSG has training features like level select and visible hitboxes, but you have to unlock them by playing a certain number of hours. The rereleases have even better training options with letting you manually set your weapon levels and stuff. I'm using save states and it works fine for me.

>>11966010
just enjoy the ride anon. This is still the best shmup I've ever played and I've played hundreds of them.

>>11965238
I want to disagree but I can't actually come up with a better alternative

>>11967306
Treasure made like 3 shmups (that anyone gives a fuck about) out of their 30+ game library and yet that's all shmuptards need to come in and start shitting up any and all Treasure threads.

>>11965107 (OP)
idk if I would say that, they had some gems, I particularly like gunstar heroes, but I would not call them the best, perhaps you could say they were one of the most soulful.

Why does no one ever discusses Headdy?

>>11968942
I'm playing it literally right now and for me it's one of the best Megadrive games

>>11965107 (OP)
This board is stuck in the console kiddie pool so hard they don't even know the real titans of /vr/

This game is so unfairly hated man. Yes guardian heroes is better but it's still an amazing game for the platform

>>11969367
No brain artstyle (i mean look at their domes lol)

>>11969367
Advance Guardian Heroes isn't hated enough. It is the epitome of what some people would call "parryslop". The game doesn't allow you to do jack shit, you just have to sit there and spam parry over and over. Also the game's story takes a huge, steaming dump on everything that took place in the first game. If I was a bigger fan of the original, I would be pissed. On top of all this, whoever translated this game doesn't speak a lick of English.

>ctrl+f for "Sierra"
>0 results
more proof that everyone pretending to like those pieces of shit are fuckign liars. fuck motherfucing Sierra, leisure suit Larfy is for fags anyway

>>11968983
make a thread then, could be cool
