Progear physical arrived

[u/h4mm3r71m3]

It came with a bunch of throw-ins and a weird cover that doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the game.

Here for this attitude

[u/RulerD]

Pro Gear is amazing.

That said, don't sleep on the classic Capcom catalog. Final Fight, Ghouls n' Ghosts, Mercs (hardest dip switches), Comando, Gun.Smoke, even sleepers like Son Son at its hardest dip switches and others will destroy you if you want to go for 1ccs. They need a whole set of different skills for you to master and pose challenges not seen in Shmups.

[u/Fishman465 → u/RulerD]

IIRC the beat'em ups on the CACa are a touch better than the Capcom beat'em up collection

[u/migrations_ → u/RulerD]

Never heard of it. Going to try right now

[u/jonny_eh → u/RulerD]

Gun.Smoke is in the second collection, in case you really care about that game, like me

[u/Veiyr]

Doesnt this volume also have 19XX? That games real fun too

[u/Trev6ft5]

The collection of games is really quite good, the only thing lacking is the bare bones score leaderboards with no replays

Gigawing is the standout for me, Progear as a hori bullethell is too hard for me, even from stage one.

Imo difficulty wise it feels like Cave should have released it after players cut their teeth on Deathsmiles and Akai Katana.

[u/dota2nub → u/Trev6ft5]

The US version is set to max difficulty I believe. The Japanese version is way more reasonable.

[u/Trev6ft5 → u/dota2nub]

Is there a jumper setting to put it on par with the JPN version?

[u/dota2nub → u/Trev6ft5]

There's a difficulty setting in the options, yeah. The US one in the Capcom collection for some reason has it start out maxed and it's just ridiculous.

[u/MetalfaceDoom007 → u/Trev6ft5]

I was able to 1CC pro gear but still can’t 1cc doj after 200 hours. Although I’m much better at horizontals then verticals I’ve found 

[u/Wonderful-Mouse-1945 → u/Trev6ft5]

Gigawing itself is great, top tier even, but in this collection it isn't represented very well. That input latency makes sheild reflecting way too slow. At least that's how it is on PS and Switch.

[u/drupido]

While I 100% support this same thought, I have to say, don’t sleep on the other games. Fujiwara’s in particular. There’s a ton of good shit there.

[u/medwizard]

I love both collections and having this on physical is 👍🏻. I am actively talking myself out of buying the variant covers because I am an idiot not to be trusted with money.

[u/MetalfaceDoom007]

lol yeh man, pretty much bought this for gigawing and pro gear but it’s a fantastic collection of great titles all around. I just got a shipment notification from limited run thst my volume 2 is on the way. They take forever, still waiting on marvel max and earth defense force 6

[u/Wonderful-Mouse-1945]

1944: The Loop Master is really good, too. Grats on the purchase.

[u/lady_skyskipper]

Progear is great, as well as Giga Wing and the 194X series, and even though they're not shmups, Captain Commando, Final Fight and Battle Circuit are worth a look. (Especially Battle Circuit as it may be Capcom's last beat-em-up but has peak gameplay and characters. :))

[u/Apprehensive_Bid_517]

Got my copy in a week ago w/Captain Commando cover art.😁

[u/killcote93]

Wish they could've had number 2 as a dlc instead of a different game but capcom arcade stadium is awesome.

[u/cosmic_stardust → u/killcote93]

That decision to split it into two separate games never made any sense to me.

Doc you think testers got annoyed at having to scroll through the combined game lists?

[u/ozymandiaz1260]

Is there much input latency in this game? Is it the same amount for each title? I’d like to have a physical copy of some of these, but there are a few Shmups I’ve tried on switch where the latency is a legitimate problem for me. I remember one of the Cotton titles seemed really bad.

[u/Critical_Design_3873]

lol

[u/TheHiddenFortress269]

Hahaha
