I wanna get into other shooters, just to see how well I do at them after being with Touhou for so long. Where do I start? I started Mars Matrix the other day and I'm already getting the hang of it, but I dunno where to go from there.

What's the popular opinion on Cave shooters?

There's actually a shmup thread in games, but I believe Cave shooters are well regarded, especially DoDonPachi.

I'm only familiar with their Xbox 360 output, but Espgaluda 2 and Muchi Muchi Pork are both really good and I'd highly recommend them. One thing to bear in mind if you're coming off the Touhou games is that a lot of the cave shooters on 360 lose something when played on lower difficulty levels - playing Deathsmiles on rank 1 means that half of the boss fight is missing compared to rank 3, and the novice modes tend to be heavy handed in changing both the bullet patterns and the game system.

The old-school STG players I know claim that ESP Ra.De is the best game ever (although they also say that impression was tied to the arcades they played it in).

ESP Ra.De is probably the most balanced of CAVE's shooters, and arguably one of the most enjoyable arcade experiences for a bullet hell fan. I think at this point the fact that it was released sixteen years ago (ahahaha holy poo poo :corsair:) means that by now, CAVE has improved the formula on consoles enough that it's been surpassed.

Keep in mind that Touhou Lunatic is roughly equivalent to Espgaluda/Deathsmiles mid-tier CAVE game Easy, more or less. Touhou is much more focused on visual appeal as opposed to difficulty, meaning that when you try to jump from this series straight into CAVE shmups, you run face first into a difficulty wall. It's probably better to avoid the newest CAVE stuff for now and go either into the earlier games (ESP Ra.De, Guwange, the original DoDonPachi) or into PC doujin shooters outside of the Touhou series (Crimzon Clover, the eXceed games, etc) if you're looking to branch out.

I'd have to argue this point, at least for EspGaluda. If anything, it's closer to Hard. It's by far CAVE's easiest game.

Fair; I admittedly haven't touched Galuda or Galuda 2 so I shouldn't've used it as an example. I was going to use Mushihimesama at first, but then I realized that's probably their HARDEST title, so I mentally dialed it back, apparently a bit too far.

If it's CAVE's easiest, though, I would put it in the "starter kit" group with its predecessor.

I like Jamestown. It starts off easy enough to be playable by someone who isn't already a shmup grognard, and because it was released by Americans just a few years ago you can actually buy it, which are both rare luxuries with these games.

Which is kind of funny, really. It must be optimized to make cool-looking replays, because spectacle is the last thing on my mind when I'm actually playing.

I'm not sure I trust it, but it fits the bill of "cool fanwork", at least. Those computer fonts really clash with its art style, though, yikes.

I finally got access to scans of the latest chapters of Forbidden Scrollery and WAHH, so translation will start again. Also I need your help leather fedora aka NForza but I have no idea how to contact you so I am shouting in this thread. Although I guess I'm not quite sure how serious your offer to help was, and/or if you realized what that would entail exactly.

The closest acceptable translation is

Don't worry, I was plenty serious. Do you have PMs? I'm on twitter and MotK too.

In fact, I could even supply you with copies of the latest chapters (by physical mail that is. I don't have a scanner)

I'll contact you through MotK because I don't have PMs here.
