Shmup is an insulting term that should only be used when you wish to denigrate the great genre of shoot-'em-ups.

2D fighters. I will go into an arcade and if there are no 2D fighters around I usually just leave.:p Thats why Im glad for the selection at my local arcade. (Street fighter III, Melty Blood, Capcom vs. SNK 2, SNK vs. Capcom.) I have wasted many quarters there. :choc2:
