Yeah, definitely push into the experience on your own as much as you can but feel free to use this if necessary.

@@Shmuptopia Oh yeah, im definitely gonna use what you are showing here. Thanks for doing this tutorial Sir.

​@@ronniepatterson2827Always a pleasure! Let me know if you need any additional information.

@@Shmuptopia Will do👍

I've always held the screwdriver+shaft stationary while spinning the balltop itself but I suppose you could spin the shaft too. It's incredibly rare for a shaft to not spin, so you should be good. Don't worry about breaking anything and let me know if you have any other questions!

@ not so much the shaft more of the screw itself like in the video I can just twist the screw them the top after?

@jaykazuma2452 Yeah, that's probably fine. You have this model or the PlayStation one? I doubt there's a difference where the interior is concerned, so you should be good either way.

@ it’s the PS version

It’s the same model just for PS, i just wanted to make sure

Thanks, man! Cobra is a super efficient character. By the way, I started your Streets of Rage video and am gradually chipping away at it. Life with the kids doesn't leave much room for watching these days ha!

@@Shmuptopia No worries Dace, the amount of things you do while taking care of 2 kids is amazing 👍

Thanks! This is the Switch version.

No worries, man! Cobra's a beast for sure. Everything drops insanely fast. I love Hell Tiger too though. Thanks for popping by!

@@Shmuptopia absolutely! Just got my mild 1cc in gunvein after i watched this. lucky charm, i guess lol

@@unhallowedosrs ugh I'm the only one who still hasn't beaten Gunvein 😣

@ you’ll get there! Practice and patience, my friend!

They definitely use colour in a super fun and wild way, which really adds to the experience.

It's truly wicked!

Glad you enjoyed it, man! It was a fun session to bang out!

Thanks for checking this out! Yeah, you are spot on. Lack of this sort of information on RUclips was one of the biggest glaring holes I noticed when I got into the genre in 2019 and that's why I started doing this sort of thing. I'm aiming to put together one for Super XYX shortly. Thanks again and I'm definitely checking out your Crimzon Clover Novice clear!

@ I’m getting that game soon! I look forward to watching more of your guides. It’s a sloppy survival run, but I was proud to get my first one! Thank you so much!

​@@unhallowedosrsWhen you jump into Super XYX for the first time, it'll likely feel chaotic but there's a very simple approach you can use to gain huge consistency and streamline the entire run, so I'm eager to put this together.

@ I can’t wait! Stage 2 boss in batsugun absolutely bodied me until I saw how you bullet streamed it. You’re doing great work for the uninitiated!

I appreciate that. Every boss in Batsugun is pretty aggressive in its own way. The S3 boss is pretty straightforward once you know how to flow with its attacks. S4 boss is intense stuff when you first start chipping away at it! Eager to hear how things go for you and definitely let me know if you require any additional assistance.​@@unhallowedosrs

Thanks so much for checking this out! It's always great hearing people enjoy the lair back nature of these episodes. I have another one coming out in the next few days.

Hey, thanks so much for sharing this! It's always super cool to hear what other people zero in on and for what purposes. While I haven't used the G16 in a while due to checking out numerous other controllers this year, it's still an all-time favorite!

Thanks for checking this out! Mushi is definitely a fun and comfortable one to enjoy. I don't recall how long this took. I also encourage players not to focus on/use hours invested as any sort of gauge. I actually have a video planned for discussing this. But for now, let me ask how far you think you've come in terms of learning the game to the degree you desire. What stage is giving you the most problems? How many resources will you need on average to push through? How much do you want to learn and is this a game you want to master or are you mainly after a single clear no matter how the performance goes? I'm just curious and if it helps, I can potentially jump in and record a private video lesson for you on whatever stage is tripping you up the most. Let me know as I'd be happy to help you learn more of this incredible game! Thanks again!

@ no problem! And that is good advice! I really should stop checking my hours played. It could get very discouraging if it takes me longer than expected to get the 1all. I have come pretty far… my first 5 hours I’d make it to stage 4 boss consistently. By 10 hours I was making it to stage 5. 10-15 I’d make it to laser wheels. Now I’m making it to the boss with maybe a couple bombs. As of right now, I lose SO many recourses around the laser wheels, so I’ve been practicing routing them. So tempting to just manual bomb the trickier laser wheel sections in an attempt to lose less auto bombs because so far that is the only way I can make it to the boss with a couple bombs. I’d say right now, the only way I’d be able to 1all is by making it to the boss with at least 5 bombs and a medium rank hyper in tow… and even then I doubt I’d be able to clear consistently. So right now the move is to practice from stage 5 1st mid boss onward over and over…. And over………….. and over. lol. I really wish there was a save state option on the switch port. It sucks haveing to go through the mid boss to practice the wheels. My goal is to 1all and then maybe switch up and focus on scoring more. You don’t need to personalize a vid for me man! All good! I really do appreciate it tho! All I know is this game is so much fun!

Also… your hyper while inside that laser wheel was CLUTCH. You used the invul frames to squeeze out. Super clever. Plus the hyper made the next part more manageable. I may implement a similar strat.

Please excuse the delayed response. The last few days have kept me rather swamped with family responsibilities. Yeah, the wheels end loads of runs for most people. There are ways to do it with either few or no resources used, though I don't recall if I knew that at the time of this recording since it's been ages since I played this particular run. Chances are I bombed through it, but with how I approach things now in shooters, I'd definitely put together a no-bomb method.@@golions13579

Glad you enjoyed it, Goji! This was a blast of a session to record.

Thanks, man! I'll think you'll be blown away by one of the vids I'll be sharing soon!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks so much! I'll have another one up soon. Glad you enjoyed this.

Thanks so much. I actually don't. It's a screenshot from one of my earlier sessions in Rolling Gunner on Expert difficulty. I'll also have another Mayflash art video going up next week, if interested.

Just saw your comment now! To answer your question, no. They are not my go-to for Shmups. For me, it's a mix of being the automatic choice for fighting games while also gradually experimenting more and more with using them for certain shooters. I have a Novice mode clear in Mushihimesama on the DOIO Hitpad that I reviewed not too long ago and then I also did a Normal mode clear in Graze Counter GM a month or so ago. Stick or dpad is still the go-to for Shmups and it depends on the game and situation. For example, Rolling Gunner is always with the Hori Mini because I love that thing! Whereas retro shooters or things like Super XYX which I'm dabbling in a little bit are on dpad - partially because of convenience. I can understand the wonky-feeling nature of your experience so far. I think Shmups will demand the most adapting because it's not like a fighting game where you're essentially just concerned about forward and backward movement. In Shmups, movement in constantly changing directions is always happening. I think there's a fluidity that can be attained, though it will certainly require putting the time in. By the way, what controller do you have exactly? I'd love to hear what you've all got and what you prefer. Thanks so much for checking this out!

@@Shmuptopia Dang dude, this has to be the most comprehensive youtube reply I have ever had in my life lol. I love it, thank you. I absolutely agree with your point about fighting games. As interesting as keyboards seem to me as well as leverless pads, I just can't imagine them being as fluid for circular movement as sticks and pads. I tend to make weird "staircasey" movements with them when I experiment. Regarding my inputs, I love the M30. I did a deep dive into the reddit fight stick subreddit and found a simple mod where you put a tiny 5/32" ball bearing underneath plastic of the Dpad so that the whole pad can't be pushed inward--thus eliminating some of the "mushy" feeling and the risk of an unintentional diagonal input. Still, as much as I'm comfortable with Dpads having grown up with them, I go about 50/50 between them and my arcade sticks. I have one with an LS-56 and one with an LS-32. While the LS-56 feels nice and precise with its spring tension for macromovement, when I'm playing Touhou and need to make fast micro-twitch dodges, I find that because I have to push harder to make the lever engage due to the tension, I tend to push/pull too hard and bump into bullets. Meanwhile, my M30 feels FASTER for putting in inputs, yet also "slippery" at times. The SN30 pro certainly feels less slippery, but diagonals and circular movements on that cross pad just feel super awkward and uncomfortable. So for now I'm actually loving my LS-32. The looser spring is more comfy. However, it has a bit of a dead zone so the engage isn't as fast, and it has a longer throw which is not ideal for shmups. I still find it very comfy though, so a few hours ago I actually purchased an LS-40 which has a close amount of tension and may resolve some of the LS-32 shortcomings. It's quite the rabbit hole lol. Anyway, love your channel dude.

@@blazinglazers69 For some reason, your response isn't showing up on the video itself. I had to click on your profile image, and then see the list of comments you've left on my channel just to track down the response. The video shows more replies than our initial two, so I knew something was messed up but why it's not showing up, who knows! Just letting you know that I'll respond to your epic comment either tonight or tomorrow! Thanks!

@@Shmuptopia Yeah I don't see it either. YT sucks sometimes.

@@blazinglazers69 Now the long response is no longer available to me, so I won't be able to respond to everything as specifically as I wanted to. To summarize though, it's great to hear you have some Seimitsu sticks. I've got four here myself and they are wild. I was intending to do a comparison video for all of them and had started recording for it, though my laptop at the time went haywire and I lost everything. Not sure when I'll get back to that project. If you ever want to put together some videos, I'm sure people would lap that up! I'm wondering if a fresh comment outside of this one would be a better option!

Always great to have you here, Timo! I totally hear you on the creating your own route. I personally don't mind staying in a game for much longer if it means I get to figure things out myself in a way that is meaningful to me instead of relying on simply watching how someone else does it. Definitely 100% on the fretboard, too!

Thanks! These are actually screenshots I took from a shooter called Devil Engine. The back is from the midboss of stage 4 and the front image is from shortly after that encounter.

@@Shmuptopia (I should read video descriptions more often) :)

@@malkilthewizard No worries at all.

Hey, thanks for this! I'll look into those titles and see what's what.

@@mioirelxxx3470 Thanks as always!

Always happy to hear you enjoy these episodes. Yeah, it's wild how much space there is to explore not only the game but ourselves and everything in between. Enjoy the remainder!

@@Shmuptopia I did:)

Ayeee, you're too kind, thanks man! We need to talk more about the mental sandbox as I feel like you, Dace, and myself all have a lot of ideas that aren't necessarily talked about much, but I bet would make for a great conversation. Remind me to tell you about my method of training "clutch moments" that involves darts and a burning pizza (seriously).

@ I am intrigued!!I have a video I’m working on about 3 out that goes heavy into the “inner mind” meditation aspect… might be cool to pour our heads into a pool and see how it all flows

I’m all about the lore as well!!! RayForce vid was my intro as well and I knew this dude was another long-lost space brother!!!

Thanks as always man! Shmuptopia's dark backstory is slowly surfacing and ideally we see more from Christian before long.

Ah man, thanks for listening scowsh and for watching the original video. After getting an opportunity to talk with Dace, I'm feeling even more inspired to create something new!

@@SpidersSTG Long-lost space brother hahaha, love it! We should get some virtual (unless you're in Texas?) coffee sometime and talk shop.

The one and only!

It's absurdly engaging!

GW is always a fun one. I'm still excited to someday have a machine here at home!

You might stumble upon a player or two when you least expect it. Learning BareKnuckleRoo lived only 24mins was definitely a surprise. I don't often get out there due to how busy the kids keep me!

@@Shmuptopia Are you guys on a discord?

Fightcade actually works really well for coop. :) I've played Giga Wing and Blazing Star with some amazing Brazilian players there.

@@BareKnuckleRoo Blazing Star is awesome!

Where's your location? I'm sure there are tons around you!

Thanks for checking this out. I cleared this on my own with the weakest ship two years ago, so if my run from then will help at all, it might give you some pacing ideas! I just remembered I put together a tutorial video too!! ruclips.net/video/sVTQfo0MAak/видео.htmlsi=vfWbqKgit-6QZxnt GW is an all-time favorite!

Great strategy syncing your shield use

​​@@zajicappI meant to share this link instead! This is the how-to video for a full run: ruclips.net/video/sVTQfo0MAak/видео.htmlsi=vfWbqKgit-6QZxnt

And here's my actual solo run with commentary: ruclips.net/video/45dQwKJWebU/видео.htmlsi=8W2c_Gfy6-rMRwGJ

Try out the arcade version sometime. The last few stages are a bit easier in the arcade version because the Dreamcast is missing some slowdown during the last couple of bosses. It's not a huge difference in difficulty, but the extra slowdown does help.

The templates for tons of different arcade sticks can be found on the Focus Attack website. They have a repository and you'll find one for the f700. I'll share the link: focusattack.com/artwork-print-and-cut-for-mayflash-f700/ Let me know if you have any other questions! Also, if it helps and you're not in a rush, I am putting together an ordering process tutorial since a lot of people aren't sure about all of the options to select when ordering.

@@Shmuptopia oh t.y. man, checking website out

No problem at all. ​@@timdane6132

That's solid! It remains one of my favorites! I cleared it two years ago and it was great playing with another person this time around. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for tuning in!

@@Shmuptopia I am kinda lost right now. I am not sure if I should get another shmups or not. I am actually looking for something I can get deep into, something arcade-y. I need something similar to a shmup but not really a shmup. I got into on-rails but modern on-rails are pretty dead.

Outzone is the answer

@@soratheorangejuicemascot5809 Try out Ex-Zodiac, that might be your cup of tea. It's basically an indie rail shooter with elements of Star Fox and Space Harrier.

According to the Nintendo website, this is single system (1-2). That said, I've never tested this myself.

Yeah, it was the best way forward!

Thanks so much for checking this out and enjoy!

@@Shmuptopia shmups fan for ever✌
