I am pretty terrible at any and all shmups I've played but reading this is rad. Anyone got any recommendations for me to try?
Earthion, definitely!
If you'd like to get into old-school, side-scrolling shmups, I like Super Hydorah a lot. For vertical, you might try Blue Revolver Reloaded.
For bullet hell I always suggest GunVein or Mushihimesama. Lot's of difficulty settings and training options there.
Most importantly, have fun! Everybody starts off bad, dying a lot, but the more time you put in the better you get. It's all part of the joy of mastering a skill.
