Sorry, some stuff came up and I'm gonna be busy packing, leaving earlier than I thought I would :(

I'll try to do some streaming at some point in the simul though

Since those Captain Tsubasa eps are on youtube and dailymotion I'll probably have the time to stream those on tuesday, unless something happens

So, probably a 50-50 chance

zun's design philosophy in making games is to punish you when you fail, but not reward you when you succeed. i can see why someone who wants satisfying shooting wouldn't like them. to me, touhou and other shmups are about the dance, dodging ships and making your ship more powerful, which is why parodius is my second favorite shooter series

To me, stages in shmups are just there to suck lives up so you have to put in more quarters at the boss. touhou cuts out the middleman and makes the entire game about the boss. one of the things i don't really like about normal shooters is that the bosses don't have character. sure, they can look nice, but without character they're meaningless.

On the other hand, R-Type 3 had really rad stages. I think I liked Super Aleste's stage design as well.

Also Axelay is still really cool. Also I admit most of my shmup experience is basically the SNES ones.

When I say satisfying shooting it's mainly an audiovisual thing I think. A lot of stage encounters in shmups can be as or more interesting than the boss. Like this bit in CC where you get surrounded by ships and have to dodge fire centering on you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utgHIk9Q7Xo&t=1065s or the loving evil rotary laser part in the last stage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utgHIk9Q7Xo&t=1696s It definitely makes sense for a game about dodging through super intricate patterns to focus on the boss fights but I wish the stages were a bit more memorable. It's a missed opportunity to do storytelling with background detail if nothing else.

I think you can have a lot of character in non humanoid things - Metal Slug is a great example - though obviously results vary. A lot of the vanilla looking WWII stuff bores the hell out of me for instance, as do really smoothe featureless sci fi ships.

Parodius is sexy and awesome but seems hard as hell. I need to get the Crimzon Clover 1cc but I hope to play more touhous in the future.

I don't know how the hell I'll ever beat Crimzon Clover on arcade mode becaue on top of turning up the difficulty a ton it removes like five extra lives from the game.
