Now, vote for your favorite VERTICAL shmup HuCard!
« on: January 20, 2012, 01:16:40 AM »
Okay, we did horizontal HuCard shmups, now it's time to do vertical HuCard shmups.  :)  I have a feeling I already know what game is going to run away with this one, but we'll do it anyway.  You don't have to own the game to vote for it.  If you've played it on an emulator or whatever, that's fine.  Also, apparently, nobody can change their votes since I've edited the poll, so make it count.

That was hard.  I can't pick between twinbee and dragon saber.   I went with Dragon Saber.

dinosaurs and dragons kick ass.

I went with Soldier Blade, the obvious choice.  Though, I'll say I like Blazing Lazers nearly as much (yay for Compile games) and Raiden would be close if it weren't for that annoying checkpoint start-back crap.  Instant respawns in shmups, please.  :)

Oh yea, Detana! Twinbee's up there too.  1941 is good, but seems a little clunky to me.  I was also pleasantly surprised by Burning Angels... I can see why it preceeded something awesome like Sapphire.

Twinbee is really awesome.  I almost want to change my vote now.  but, Dragon Saber is so good too.

SoldierBlade is definitely my favorite Soldiergame though.

Ooops... I picked soldier blade by mistake, I meant to pick Super Star Soldier.
Out of all of them though, I've only got SSS, Final Soldier, Gunhed and Cyber Core.  And I haven't even played Gunhed.

On that list, I do mean to get Twinbee, Dragon Spirit and Image Fight, maybe a 194x, but there's no point just yet.  I haven't even played the SNES Twinbee I got last week.

What the hell?  If i edit the poll just once it makes it so no one can change their vote.  :(

Yeah, this one is hard...Only _one_ pick for "personal" fav? Well, had to go with B'Lazers for shear playtime I put into it. Final and Blade are right next to it (for the time attack mode!). I love me some Dragons and Winbees also, but gotta stick my "guns" (space shooters).

Wow, if one guy hadn't misplaced his vote, Blazing Lazers would be in the lead right now.  I'm tempted to restart the poll and not mess with it so the "change vote" option is still intact.

f*ck yeah, Soldier Blade!  My second pick would be teh X.E.V.I.O.U.S., obviously.

P.S. - it's 1943 not 1942.
