    absolute cinema and very relatable. i love that feeling when you're deeply invested in the grind: get better at certain sections, discover new strats, get further and further in real runs, but actually achieving the goal makes me feel nothing and the process of looking for a new game to play is way less enjoyable and sometimes even takes a week or two.

    Dude is the Jean-Paul Sartre of shmuppers. “I just want to feel again”. Every 1cc grind has that one run when the final boss has just a sliver of health left and you die. It’s all part of the journey. I’ve even had it where the boss’s health bar was showing no health at the point I died, but it still didn’t give me the clear! Mushi original is my recommendation for the next one. It won’t break you, and may even cheer you up with all those bright colours.

For me those came pretty quickly after getting my espgaluda clear. Dfk black label is kicking my ass right now lol. Stoked to see your next clear!

    Another epic video. I would say it's already my favourite short-movie of 2024. Second is your "My New Obsession". Good work man, good work.
    I would say try Crimzon Clover next. Followed by Ketsui (since you already have some progression), then Futari. ESP maybe later. Happy shmupin'!

      @TheHiddenFortress81 It also slept for a few years in my Steam library (maybe until 2017?). At this time I bought a used X360 with all Cave's Shmups running on the PAL version. Futari was the one where it finally made "click". After some investigation I tried Crimzon Clover again and it easily became one of my Top10 Shmups.

    Well done on the ESPgaluda clear! That near-win was painful to see at the start, but good on you for powering through.

      ​@@watchmaker17I've 1cced all three (never thought I'd ever be able to chime in on these convos 😂) and can confirm, Crimzon Clover is on par with Ketsui 1-ALL and probably a bit harder because it's 10 minutes longer and the final boss is quite difficult. Esprade is easier than both, but the final boss is also disproportionally difficult compared to the rest of the game. I definitely wouldn't go for CC if Ketsui feels "too hard" at the moment.

    I am curious, how many unfinished 1cc attempts you have? I dont know how many mine are but I can remember many of it. Then I also got a few 1cc attempts on a non-shmup games.
    And yeah, this video is perfect example on how I felt with Hellsinker. When I got my 1cc, I know the game is way too unique to find something similar vibes so I just replayed the game using different character. The fact that every character llays way too different from another made me stop.
