I knew this channel had great content up til now, but you keep surprising me with how learned and well-organized your newer vids are! I AM one of those people that loves Shooters but have been notoriously terrible at them for a long time (often never making it past the first stage). I really appreciate this video taking the approach to help people who want to get into the genre actually LEARN. Thanks, dude, you're the best!

Dominate the screen, Play within the pattern, Hold your ground...  I say these cues to myself everytime I play a shmup now.   It's really helping!!

I'm a newborn when it comes to shmups. It's surprisingly hard to find decent videos for new players. I think some folks don't realise or underestimate just how hard it is to bring it down to the fundamentals. You've got it nailed, mate. Well structured and easy to comprehend. Very much appreciated!

I love the way you articulate all the technique and info and the energy you put into it. When you're proficient at something and want to teach, it's easy to assume things. You're a great teacher!

Man, I gotta say, your channel is amazing! I discovered it about a month ago, been going back and watching your past vids. The passion you have exudes everywhere in your vids. Keep going and thanks for the content and knowledge.

No one has ever made a video like this. This was really some great advice!! I love Blazing Lazers. I can get to the last stage, but just cannot beat it. My plan is to just keep practicing over and over. Right now I'm working on Truxton and just playing that game over and over....then I want to move on to Grind Stormer. Keep up the great work on this channel! 😊😊

You’re right. Weapon IV & “F” subweapon is very effective! But heart still yearns for Weapon II and shields. 😩

For old and new shooter fans this video is invaluable in my opinion. Blazing Lasers is a blast no matter what skill level and I find it to be a good palate cleanser when I find myself shmup jumping from game to game. After a 1 CC I feel refocused and ready for the next game to 1 CC.

I never get tired of playing Blazing Lazers!  It is easily one of the best games on the TurboGrafx-16, and the ring weapon makes the levels such a breeze, because of such awesome shield protection!
