Fighter Shmups

Twinkle Star Sprites = crack. Literally. :tup:

wow senko no ronde looks mad fun, anyway i can get a hold of this game? and if so is there anyway to play online?

I uploaded a rack of new AoSX to my page:

Maybe and yes. It’s for the x-box 360 and it’s live compatible.

xeno i’d like to give AoSX and possibly suguri a try, if you wouldn’t mind hooking me up

Yeah I can send it to you, or you can get it on IRC.

Hit me up with a PM and let me know.

Just a warning about the netplay though, it’s only good for short distances and low pings. Basically I only play it against people on the East Coast, personally. It’s works great for low ms, but it’s horrible for long distances.

Ok so AoSX is getting popular lately so I wanted to build a quick list of youtube videos that we have so far. I know playlists kinda do the same thing but, this is easier to copy and paste (feel free to post this list on other forums or whatever).

I uploaded a high quality AoSX video to youtube:
[media=youtube]pqvyHOGU6Y8[/media]

It’s not maximum (flawless) quality but it’s higher than normal.

I posted another high quality one:

Is anyone of the opinion that the first HQ video looks better than the second?

Huh, I never even thought of trying to take Versus mode seriously in that game. It kind of looks like those arcade Gundam games or maybe the Virtual-On series. I suppose these aren’t very “shmuppy” though. They’re definitely arcade-style games to me, but they’re also certainly a step closer towards “mech sim” games (like Armored Core and Mech Warrior) than they are to shmups or fighters.

I’m surprised nobody has mentioned Shred Nebula yet! It’s made by the guys who created SF2T/SF2HF. Recently released and looking very cool. There were two threads about it:

By the looks of it, though, it’s probably more akin to a competitive shooter game like SubSpace than any actual fighter-shmup hybrid.

I thought I was the only one who cared about Fighter Shmups. Subscribed. Also, for anyone who’s interested, Twinkle Star Sprites is one of Gametap’s free games. I’ve got it there, and my user name is the same as it is here.

Sorry to double-post, but I was wondering about the best way to hold a Custom Robo tournament.

I thiiiink that the latter is a sequel to the former. They’re both fighters but they’re so heavily projectile-based that they end up looking very shmuppy to me. The look is super-anime-loli but gameplay seems unique and interesting. I’ve been meaning to try them out for a while.

AoSX looks pretty cool, kinda like a 2D armored core game except you pilot lolis instead of gundams

I got DC Psychic Force! I’m probably not local to you, but I’m digging it, and new comp is always nice.

IF Virtual-On qualifies, another game similar to it is Gotcha Force on the gamecube. I find it to be mad fun.

Apparently there is finally info available about the currently in-development Senko no Ronde 2. (thread)

Virtual-On Oratorio Tangram has just been released on XBLA.

Discussion for it is scattered through multiple subforums:

Somebody just made a thread for it. It does look cool!
