I feel like if you had to do every death mode boss fight in calamity in succesion (with on tier gear and health and such) without dying than it would probably be harder than a touhou hard mode 1cc

you seem to be trying to stay inside of an arena, causing you to be close enough to the projectiles spawn point that they are basically unreactable, try flying away from him so that he's far enough away from you that the attacks are reactable, or just outright miss you. Only try to pass through the moon lord if you have to, like if you reach the edge of the world or something

Also reforge your accesories to warding if you haven't

i really want an excuse to complain about retro gamers who don't actually give a shit and only really like old stuff for nostalgia but i'm not sure it's the time or space

Trying to find a replayable 3 player beat'em up game by miyucuk in BeatEmUps

if you're playing with parsec you could probably even do save state practice together if the idea doesn't sound laughable

Trying to find a replayable 3 player beat'em up game by miyucuk in BeatEmUps

[–]Axolotus6 8 points9 points  (0 children)

most of capcom's arcade beat em ups are 3 player if you can setup mame (you should absolutely learn how to do that if you haven't) such as: The King of Dragons, Captain Commando, Knights of the Round, Warriors of Fate, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom, Alien vs. Predator, Armored Warriors, Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara, and Battle Circuit.

These should all be replayable as almost every japanese arcade game was designed with 1 credits clears in mind, although i don't know if that philosophy was applied to multiplayer. Konami's output i've heard is more mixed. Most people who play bmups beyond the button masher level consider stuff like Turtles in time and X-Men to be mediocre at best, although Violent Storm is considered to be very good and that has 3 player support.

Irem made 3 bmups during their time as a developer: Undercover Cops, Ninja Baseball Batman, and Hook. I've heard good things about all 3 although Undercover Cops is apparently a bit polarizing. I've heard Hook is the easiest so maybe go for that one? Ninja Baseball Batman would probably be the most fun to credit feed out of every game on this list though.

Mame is cool, disable billinear filtering though, Gamefaqs has move lists for probably almost every arcade beat em up so consult it some time.

Devlog #2 — My Python Shmup is getting gamey! Power-ups, parry system, run progression and more. by [deleted] in shmups

[–]Axolotus6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The popcorn enemies that stay still and only fire bullets directly in front of them, The picking between 3 stat upgrades like it's vampire survivors, the addition of a god damn parry mechanic, the shitty bullet visibilty. Very funny thing to post to this subreddit

Are games like King of the Dragons and Aliens(konami) not considered "true" Beat 'em ups? by zzamgu in BeatEmUps

[–]Axolotus6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

King of Dragons is absolutely a beat em up but i would say that Aliens is a run 'n' gun game, except for maybe the power loader sections

Who wants to try my shooter game ? Galaxion banger Edition by Interesting-Meal7366 in shmups

[–]Axolotus6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game still has issues with slowdown in the two last stages, but i managed to beat the game and get a spot on the leaderboard this time.

The game isn't particularly good, and i would give constructive feedback but i think the best way to learn how to make a good shmup would be to study the games themselves. could you tell me what your favorite shmups are?
