I swear every day some X fag makes a thread complaining about the superior subseries.

True. Although I might quibble with the idea that the games are "easier than classic MM or X," but it's a mess of figuring out whether one means with self imposed challenges/Rank chasing or without.

@LittleTom I prefer MMX to an extent, but fuck then I have to include x6 and x7. X8 brought it back, but too little too late imo.

@LittleTom If you touched a controller, it doesnt count as beating the game. Also megaman was never a hardcore difficult game. Its not a shmup where you need 50ms reaction time, and perfect memory on how to defeat the 10 minute long boss.

@Marakus Yeah well the big difference there is that Mega Man games are actually made to be fun whereas shmups are CBT exercises for cracked out mega autists that double as quarter extraction machines.

@Darmy67 My dark and evil secret is that X6 is like my second/third favorite X game.

@LittleTom Holy shit lol. I won't lie, I kinda hate X6. But it's the same reason I'm not the biggest fan of FF8- not bad games, but games I played before I had internet/guides to save my dumbass.

@LittleTom @EdBoatConnoisseur @Marakus R-Type is fun but it's also very high on the CBT scale

@DrRyanSkelton @EdBoatConnoisseur @LittleTom @Marakus R-Type is just memoshit overwhelmingly, you learn a route and then you execute on it and there's no variation. In general, I don't think it makes much sense to speak of shmups in general being CBT when specific styles have high difficulty variance compared to others and it's entirely down to the biases of the player in their skill types to figure out which ones those are.

@EdBoatConnoisseur @DrRyanSkelton @LittleTom @Marakus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xD9M37bNbg better video, nearly all those "all bosses shown" type channels are tas and aren't representative of how a human would play the game

@EdBoatConnoisseur @DrRyanSkelton @LittleTom @Marakus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-SghBoiJ4Y better video, non tas routes. "all bosses" type channels tend to be tas and not representative of real play

@allison @DrRyanSkelton @LittleTom @Marakus it is r-type, tas or not all bosses have cheese to them, r-type is a shoot em up that if you play "normally" or "correctly" instead of exploiting every cheese possible you are royally fucked, as the game is less about patter memorization and more about cheese memorization and building up the skills to exploit said cheese.

@EdBoatConnoisseur @DrRyanSkelton @LittleTom @Marakus what's "normal" or "correct" in a lot of shmups actually is the r-type approach you're describing above, that's literally what routing is.
