Gradius has never been the standard in SHMUPs difficulty. R-Type holds that metric.

That's pretty subjective, but most Gradius games are still very difficult.

Difficult as games or difficult as SHMUPs?

I regard Gradius as one of the easiest SHMUP franchises around yet I'd say it's harder than games of a lot of other genres.

Hard as games as a whole, but there are still easier SHMUPs out there. You must play a lot of Touhou games :P

I love Touhou games.  Imperishable Night is my favorite.
