    That does happen in the original Galaga game. You have to shoot the enemy in time to get the ship back.

    About Carpal Tunnel:
    After I got my Arcade Stick and started using that, I never get Carpal Tunnel anymore. I mostly had it in and around my thumbs and index fingers though.

    Pocky and rocky on the switch is AMAZING…seriously just go buy it. It’s tough but you learn it and it’s gorgeous and original. We need to support these types of games…and the gameplay and graphics are incredible

    My mom had the carpal tunnel surgery and they fudged it up somehow and she was unable to make a fist anymore. Something with the tendons tightening too much. It took her quite a few years to finally have mostly normal use again but never been a hundred percent again. I don't know how common that is but it made me a little wary about it.

    You have to shoot the capturer during a dive. If you kill it while it holding formation, your captured ship will change side.

    i know you must have 1000000 ppl telling stuff to try for the carpal.
    i found a morning stretching that is very helping for carpal and lower back:
    its called the 5 tibetan rites... they may seem cheezy or "not related" but i assure you that doing this 3-6 times a week when waking up is for me the best way
    anyone who is curious, give it a try :) been doing it 2 years now and its awsome

    I feel like shmups like R-Type are inferior to bullet hell shooters because they only offer one path to beat the stage

      It's funny that there is a certain type who will say they don't make them like R-Type anymore. They essentially don't like shmups, they just like R-Type. Their opinion is void.

    Cuphead is another good example of presentation being hampered by high difficulty. I think a lot more people really want to like that game due to the art style but the difficulty turns them off to it.

    • @dtraindaimyo3377
      @dtraindaimyo3377 2 года назад +4

      Cuphead isn't really that difficult, it's just a lot of replaying so you can memorize the stages.

    I bought the Japanese version because it's not Pocky and Rocky to me. It's Kiki Kai-Kai.
    It's great, but in 2022 it would have benefited from being a twin stick game.
    Like Sine Mora, Sky Force is a Shmup for people who don't like Shmups. I should hate it since I love Shmups, it's actually alright, but it's obviously optimized for touch screen control.

    For people who didn’t like Reshrined, I’d suggest playing the original since there’s a lot less going on than the remake.

  • @Denjired
    @Denjired 2 года назад

    Hmm, that might be a possible interesting topic for an episode (either Patreon or the regular) or for Mike's Mailbag: What defines a shmup?
    Until this episode, I thought that the main characteristic of a shmup was, independent of whether it was horizontal or vertical, that it was autoscrolling (like Sky Force Anniversary or games like Gradius, Axelay, Truxton, Razion Ex, 1942 etc. pp). Therefore, I would not have put games like Cuphead or Pocky & Rocky into what I would think a shmup is, but more of I would call a run & gun game (similar to how Mario would be jump & run).
    Of course, if that categorization is widely considered to be accepted, it made me wonder: are the Contra games referred to as shmups, too? Are the Mega Man games shmups? Is Kid Icarus a shmup, too? Could be except that I cannot remember Mike referring to these games as shmups before (maybe he does refer to them this way but I have not yet seen a stream where he does that).
    I would find it really interesting if Mike or Mike & Ryan would do an episode on what defines a shmup for them?
