I guess music games don't count, eh? I play Pop'n Music a lot too.

Nah, because they don't have a definitive end. However, Pop'n is amazing! What's the latest version you've played, and if I may ask what level are you? I've been lucky enough to play Tune Street aka 19, and I can play around 32s on Sho Challenge (the mode with Cools enabled). (I'm a minor music game freak, can you tell?)

Strider is HARD! And yeah, the game is pretty obscure that everyone who knows Hiryu pretty much know him from MvC  X(

Yes. It is very hard. And very unfair. Yes, level 2 with the shutter gate that closes so fast unless you know to slide you get trapped and have to sit there waiting for a time out to try again, I'm looking at you.

While I think the idea is nifty (I love using technology in any way to enhance any experience, be it medical breakthroughs or making awesome games) I'm not sure if enough of us are either nerdy or pervy enough to go that far. Who knows though...

Pogo's music make me working with happiness (kinda like drugs somehow lol)

Pogo is amazing! I listen to a lot of Bemani stuff. While I typically like hardcore stuff, Ryu* has been making really happy lately.

Be sure to listen in 1080, it's so much better!

Hello everyone, Shinji16 here! My hobbies are Bemani, Magic, indie games and shmups (and in that order too). I'm striving really hard to become an amazing doubles player in IIDX, but I also love playing shmups, specifically danmaku. I'm kind of a masochist when it comes to games; I always tend to seek out the hardest ones, and often not on purpose.

Since Sugar Shooter 2 is a popular topic here, I'd like to mention a good chunk of my shmup experience is with the Touhou series, so I'm incredibly glad to finally have a series that has male characters! Also, if anyone here is looking for some amazing, free, indie shmups to help buff up their skills, let me know! I have a TON in my library.

IIDX Lincle, Subterranean Animism, Scorgasm, Waves, BlazBlue and hopefully King of Fighters 13. I'm also doing a replay of Saints Row 2 (that game is equal parts hilarious and amazing.

I've actually come very close to 1CC'ing (one credit clear, common term amongst shmup players) Strider. I love that game! I'd always falter around level 5 or 6. That game was so ahead of its time, and it's a shame that all people remember Strider for is that he's a character in the Marvel vs Capcom fighters... Oh well...
