Shmups/Sagaia FAQ

Shmups/Sagaia FAQ(?)

Q: Why aren't you speedrunning?
A: 'Cause I want to do other stuff.

Q: Is this a speedrun?
A: No.

Q: This game looks like shit retard
A: Don't have to watch.

Q: What's a Shmup?
A: Shoot 'em Up. Like Galaga, R-Type, Dodonpachi, Touhou, etc. Mainly 2D, but there are a bunch of cool 3D ones, like G-Darius.

Q: What's Sagaia?
A: Sagaia is Darius II's Western localized name, even though the GB version I'm playing is JP only.

Q: What do you mean by learning a casual game?
A: I want to not be shit at shmups, 'cause there are so many fun ones, and it's a genre where the ceiling of skill is almost endless with self-imposed challenges. I want to get solid enough to at least beat a game in full without continuing.

Q: When are you gonna do runs again?
A: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_KICJKiYWU

Q: Why is it in black and white?
A: Sagaia is a Gameboy game. No Color release.

Q: What are you playing on?
A: GoombaColor emulator on my GBA through the Gameboy Player, until I get a Gameboy Color Flash Cart (which shouldn't be too far from now). This emu has Super Gameboy support and palettes, but Sagaia didn't have an SGB border and the palettes don't look good enough.

Q: Why not just have the cart?
A: It's p expensive. Like $40.

Q: Is this on any other console?
A: Yeah, Genesis and Saturn, but I like this one.

Q: Why learn shmups with a Gameboy?
A: There's enough simple ones on GB/GBC/GBA that I like and I can progress up from here to more difficult stuff on PS2.
