Nothing lately. I just want to comment that the DDP series has some of my favorite music in vidya.
Ethan Perry
I want to like DDP but I just can't into the chaining system, but I agree, from what I've heard the music is great
Bentley Bennett
I kind of agree, it just makes me feel like a brainlet if I just enjoy the game instead of memorizing perfect full-stage chains
The real secret to shmups is to just release yourself from scoring autism and just play the game in whatever way you enjoy and have fun
I learn little teeny chain bits I figure out myself and work at beating my personal bests, but looking up and memorizing chain routes just isn't fun to me
Eli Carter
You would have to be a madman to enjoy chaining in the original DDP, but the sequels give you hyper which makes it a lot easier and allows more room to experiment so it's more fun.

How do I get decent? I can't even 1cc up to stage 3 Normal on TH7.
Daniel Hernandez
Does BL count as a sequel? I've heard that's the one people really compete on
Brody Peterson
Played a bit of Dariusburst CS today. I am really really rusty at shmups that it feels bad, need to play some more again.
Cooper Clark
Practice practice practice

You mean DOJ BL? From my knowledge, that's the hardest and most competitive one currently, whereas SDOJ has a busted scoring system so only a handful of japs play it. The original DDP had a new hi-score in 2018 I think but it's not that popular currently. DFK is supposed to be an excellent game but I don't know much of it. They're sequels/spinoffs, kinda interchangeable.
