Wasn't that supposed to be a Satori game?

I would play the shit out of that.
JACK IN, SHANGHAI,
EXECUTE!

>>15647800
I'm pretty sure that's a different game.

There's a download link to the latest version at the bottom of the page if you want to try it. It's incomplete as of now, but there's still a decent amount to do.
Also a guide can be found here. Beware of spoilers.

what happened to Satori-chwan.exe?

>>15647800
>>15647852
I downloaded that once but it's seems to be music album, not a game.

>>15647799
/jp/ doesn't care much about fangames, unfortunately.
Try somewhere else.

Huh, I never thought about there being a mod community for these games. I haven't thought of this series in years.

I loved the gameplay of battle network, so thanks for informing me that this exists.

This was a good game but I got stuck on it after Cirno. Thanks for the walkthrough, I didn't know an English one existed.

>>15647799
>I don't think I've ever seen much discussion about this game here
Because /jp/ doesn't care about Megaman and the Megaman general over at /vg/ doesn't care about Touhou.
Okay, not necessarily, but as a big fan of both series, it's kind of sad that this doesn't get enough attention from both sides.

>>15647852
Last I heard of it was back in 2012, so it's either a very well-guarded game, or it was cancelled.
Leaning towards the latter.

Anyhow.

Looking through the pixel artist's Twitter, there are at least 13 more Touhou NetNavis planned, those being:

Murasa, Ichirin, Clownpiece, Hecatia, Yatsuhashi, Youmu, Rin, Utsuho, Ran, Chen, Shinmyoumaru, Mokou, and Flandre.

Also three more original NetNavis:

Scissorsman, Beetleman, and Chemicalman.

>>15653197
That's a lot of surprise boxes!

>>15653197
To be honest, I prefer this game's more Megaman-esque designs over Satori Network's style, though I would understand why people prefer the latter's using the original character designs.

Hey, I found this game a couple weeks ago.
Still haven't played too much, but it looks like a good crossover-like thing.
How long does it take to go through all the content of the current version? Is it 2 hours or more like 20?

>>15654486
My current playtime is about... say, 30 hours. But that includes beating every V3 bosses, and getting all the available chips.
At most, I'd say a good 10 hours or so, provided you know what you're doing, and you don't waste time grinding for chips or doing sidequests.

>>15653197
>Because /jp/ doesn't care about Megaman and the Megaman general over at /vg/ doesn't care about Touhou.

Megaman BN is my favourite entry in the series but I never bothered talking about this Touhou version because there isn't much to talk about.
I really hoped Hartmann.EXE wouldn't get dropped since Satori is my favourite character, but I guess as long I get another BN game it doesn't matter who's the protagonist.

I'll just say I'm surprised that this isn't Satorin.EXE either. Will see if I remember to give it a try after I stop being lazy.

witch style is the best
also those eletric chains combined with tornado and some attack modifers is broken

>>15653197
So how many scenarios until the final boss.
It's hard to tell with the planned bosses but i'm guessing a good chunk of those will be post game

>>15655991
The main Battle Network games usually have 10 or so chapters, final boss included. So we still haven't reached the halfway point yet.
Of course, this is assuming there are just as many chapters in Shanghai.EXE.

>>15656161
i thought battle network games usually had 7 or 8 chapters

>>15655957
Miko style is my favorite by far. The quick charge on the reflect and the two panel step is super useful, especially with the navicust program that lets you retain buster charge on chip use.
Hatate style is probably a good second with the float/panel ignore.

>>15656161
do you have more art of Shangai.exe

>>15656188
It really kind of depends on what you would consider a "chapter", since it's rarely made clear; some chapters end with Lan sleeping, and some don't.
It's usually around that number anyway, so eh.

>>15656205
Oh yeah. Shanghai in a skintight outfit is something I never know I need.

This game seems like another good fangame and what most people indeed missed at that, but yeah just like fangame in general it won't have much discusssion here.

Good find, OP. I'm gonna try that.

It hurts that we'll never get another official Battle Network game.
I don't mind reboots. Just make somethng more with the concepts.

I find it funny how some characters you expected to become operators are NetNavis instead. Ditto for characters who you'd expect to become NetNavis.
There's also Kourin becoming Marisa's dad, Renko and Sumireko being sisters as well as Tenshi being a loli.

>>15647799
>Touhou
>Battle Network
Oh shit, I have needed this for a long time. Downloading now.

>>15663344
These are all very surprising developments!

>>15663344
There'a Sumireko?

I thought this is an old game.

>>15663726
The earliest versions date back to 2011, but the latest updates were only a few months ago. The artist's twitter account also has some chip art for a few LoLKhus, and Sagume already had a small appearance.

>>15663807
So there's constant update?

Picked the fuck up.

>>15647799
Holy shit I can't believe this actually exists. MMBN is one of my favorite game series of all time. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

So, a question to those who have been playing this game: what would you consider the best folder build?
I'm trying to S-rank all V3 bosses now, and those fucking bosses with their fucking Super Armor makes it difficult. I've been doing just fine with Miko style, but maybe I should change that too?

>>15647799
That's from the guy who made touhou-a-live right? Looks quite promising.

I didn't play it yet. I'm waiting for the game to be finished.

>>15686881
>super armor
Isn't Tankman the only boss that has that? In my opinion, Miko style outperforms the other styles against the majority of bosses, especially if you get ElecMiko and have the corresponding stage chip that paralyzes enemies.
Speaking of paralyzing, I've noticed that sometimes enemy navis will bug out and just stand there without moving or attacking if you stun them a lot, even after the stun wears off. Something similar happens if you hit them with the Wood Sword chip, but instead of just standing there they'll just jump around really fast without attacking while the wood debuff is on them.

>>15689536
Really? I could've sworn neither Spanarman nor Genji/Tortoiseman flinch when I hit them.

>ElecMiko + Thunder Stage
Too bad most of the styles I get are Wood elemental. And that Thunder Stage is only available in D/H/N/T code.

About the debuff, I can't say anything about Stun/Paralyzed, but Blind (the wood debuff you mentioned) is actually fairly consistent; speed-type enemies like Sakuya will be locked onto a single panel, while power-type enemies like Marisa will zip around the field. Neither will attack when blinded, so it's fairly useful to S-rank someone like Sakuya with.

>>15692719
I went through those bosses again, and Spannerman actually has super armor in his SP/SP5 versions, but not V3. Genji will always flinch regardless of version.
I don't know how the game determines what element you get for styles, but the only Electric chips I use are the Suika chains and Iku.
Thanks for the tip about Blind, I didn't know that.

Ah, so it's spelled "spanner".

>>15693822
Huh. You're right. That was an embarrassing mix up. But still, fuck those Super Armor.
I wonder if it's just as random as Battle Network, which is weird since I get three Wood elemental styles consecutively.
Even if I said "useful" though, especially if you have a Fire elemental attack prepared, it's only for the speed-type. Power-type moves too fast that hitting them is almost impossible.

>>15655957
Doctor style for me.

Also is fighter style any good? Been using it for awhile and it seem like there's nothing special about it when comparing it to other styles.

>>15697993
China style is mediocre at best. It's only good if you have a folder build around obstacle chips, since the charge shot can push them back.

But if you can set them up properly, then theoretically speaking, both Yorihime and Iku (who usually stays at the back row) would be a cakewalk.
Also, obstacle chips has breaking properties (I think), which can be used to disable Pyroman's turret.

>>15698146
So, I decided to try these. The verdict?

>Iku.EXE
Horrible. Once she's locked at the back row, she'll spam her lightning attack so fast you won't have a breathing room.
Putting the obstacle to stop her drill attack would probably work better.

>Yorihime.EXE
Workable. But Yorihime's so fast that she can kill you before you can set everything up. Stick to status ailment attack is my advice.

>Pyroman.EXE
Perfect. Once his turret is destroyed, it won't come back for the entire fight. Or maybe it takes a long time, I don't know. Definitely a more reliable method than chucking a Napalm.

I've taken to bullying Cirno for X chips recently. She's the easiest Navi to S rank in my opinion, and I have a lot of money to spare on LocEnemys.

>>15700576
Look at all those illegal fucking cards that I don't have.

Also
>Cirno
>Easiest to S rank
Nigga what? I have ElecHatate and Cirno is still quite difficult. If anything, I'd say Sakuya's the easiest, since she can be juggled indefinitely.
>Flinched
>Used the jump attack
>Attack her once she land
>Flinched again
Repeat ad infinitum.

>>15709317
Sakuya would be really easy to S rank if it weren't for her move where she spawns knives on your field. I always manage to run into a knife because I think she's going to throw one straight instead.
I might change Cirno to Medicine instead, her fight is pretty easy as long as you have a Poison or Hatate style, at least with the folder setup I'm using.

I don't understand the logic behind this font.

>>15721515
I don't understand the logic behind moon runes

>>15712292
Oh yes, that move can be a bitch, I'll give you that. It's quite fortunate that they don't give Sakuya any time-stopping attack; that would've been too much.
Speaking of bosses, I think my biggest problem is relying too much on PA to deal any significant damage. I may need to overhaul my folder.

>>15728901
I've never really liked using PAs because of how long I find myself holding onto chips waiting for the rest of the PA.
This is the folder I'm currently using; I can post an actual list too if you want. I can S rank every v3 Navi pretty easily besides Yocchan, who I'll probably have to make a different folder for. Styles are AquaByakuren, ElecEirin, ElecMiko and HeatHatate.

>>15731870
>Those codes
I guess another problem of mine is that I'm too stuck with the notion of "single-coded folder". With the game being WIP as it is, I don't really have a lot of choice for good chips.

For what it's worth, this is my folders; I'm currently using the right one. The ones I have problems with are the hard-hitters like Yorihime, Hakutakuman, etc. Current styles: LeafMiko, AquaEirin, EarthByakuren and ElecHatate
And yes, I would like a list, thank you.

This looks lovely, but definitely can't play a game like battle network without being able to read stuff.

>>15737785
There's a handy English guide in >>15647828 that will get you through the game if you get lost.

>>15737215
I'm just using the names from the guide.

>Sakuyav3 I
>IkuX I
>GigantoWave T x 2

Even if I have multiple codes, twelve out of my twenty attacking chips don't cause flashing so I can combo them really easily with each other.

>>15739939
Nice, thank you. I was wondering about this as well

>>15653197

Isn't Mokou already an operator?

>>15745479
Didn't stop Marisa, did it? She might end up getting a new navi considering her original one went boom, possibly from ROM higher ups.

>>15745479
>>15746008
Fun fact: Some characters name are actually changed, maybe to fit the world better. For example:

>Alice Margatroid is Shinki Alice.
>Kirisame Marisa is Morichika Mari.
>Reisen Udongein Inaba is Yagokoro Reisen.
>Fujiwara no Mokou is Fujiwara Mokou.

Also, it's not exactly unheard of for someone to use different spelling (usually katakana/hiragana instead of kanji) of their name as nickname/pseudonym; Aya did the same thing when she introduced herself to Kosuzu.

Is this game translated?

>>15740342
>RyuguDrill I
Having S-ranked Iku for some time, and not getting it, I honestly thought that chip isn't implemented yet. Damn.

Now if you don't mind, I'm gonna steal those build.

>>15747226
It's not even finished yet, so nope.

>>15647799

I was just wandering by and saw this in one of the popular threads images, holy fuck is this what it looks like!?! GIVE IT TO ME! ALL OVER MY FACE!!!

>>15747433
See >>15647828.

>>15747420
You can get it from the chip trader in the post game room, but the chances of getting what you want seem to get lower the more you want it.
I've traded in hundreds of chips into that thing and still haven't gotten a Triple Rod Z, which is the last chip I want to complete my stupid folder.

>>15748216
>Triple Rod Z
I got one of those and RyuguDrill from the Crimson PGM add on, same as all of my illegal chips. Chances are still pretty awful though.

>>15748216
>the chances of getting what you want seem to get lower the more you want it
Ah, my old friend the Desire Sensor, how I hate your existence so.
Although I must say, that's a pretty good setup. Didn't think it was possible with Y/Z codes, considering they usually get the short end of the stick.

Somewhat related to >>15748531, what purple add-on would everyone say to be the least harmful? I used Custom+1 and Custom-1 to neutralize each other, but that seems like a waste of space.

Also, Suwako will be in the game too, which is weird since I thought being a style change means she won't make any appearance.

>>15748216
Welcome to chip traders.
I don't care how ludicrously good AreaGrab * and VarSword F are, I'm not grinding these fucking RNG atrocities anymore.

>>15748884
>Although I must say, that's a pretty good setup. Didn't think it was possible with Y/Z codes, considering they usually get the short end of the stick.

Yeah, Y and Z codes are pretty good in Shanghai.exe. You have Yorihime and some of the stronger sword chips with Y, along with two good PAs, and Z gives you all the Zero chips, which are all great, and some other good swords as well. Y will also eventually get a Youmu chip, which will likely have a PA to go with it that'll fit nicely into my folder too.

>>15746008

But on the other hand the artist does a lot of Battle Network mock ups on his twitter unrelated to Shanghai.exe.

Some of those images could just be him making shit because he can.

>>15749369
>Youmu's possible PA
Shoujouzan. 200 Null damage. Warps in front of the enemy (I think there's a limit of three panels forward?) and perform three cross slashes.
Yup. Those will do just nicely.

>>15749383
It's kind of a bummer, seeing those Battle Network screenshots, until to turn out they're just mock ups.
But I honestly doubt Mokou.exe is a mock up; it's right up there with the other Navis after all.

A video of the next chapter was posted on nico.
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm29536175
Includes >>15746008 this scene, visiting Tenshi at the hospital, the Komeiji sisters with Orin.exe, and Eirin.

>>15746008

What if they turn her INTO a Navi? Like the pulse transmission bullshit in 3?

>>15753547
Finally got around to watching it, and now for some guesswork.
>Orin isn't the only one though; I think the one going "unyu" was Okuu.
>Apparently Reisen is adopted by Eirin, from a place called Arabstan(?).

Well, that's the only part significant enough I think. Also, A FREE RYUGUDRILL? WHAT THE HELL HAVE I BEEN FIGHTING IKU FOR!?

>>15755072
Really hope that's not the case though. Aside from the fact that it's a load of bullshit, if they have that kind of tech, you'd think it would be abused more.

>>15759925

Arabstan is about on point with Ameroupe from Rockman.EXE 2 as far as naming conventions go.

bump

I just got Aqua Meiling as my first style.

How boned am I?

>>15768781
My least favorite style. Can be fun for a little while if you max out your buster and use the rapid fire add on, but you won't have that yet if it's your first style.

Okuu has dual wielding. I'm scared.

What kind of folders is everyone using? Any particular chips you feel are really good?

>>15784961

I'm still in early game, but those sand hole chips are pretty damn powerful and hinder enemy movement to boot.

Not sure if anybody will be interested, but there's some kind of virus design stream happening right now.
http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv274764360

>>15784961
I've posted mine here >>15737215. Nothing noteworthy, really.
Also, Elec Chain + Storm is an early game-killer. Or you can replace the latter with Hatate's charged attack.

>>15785556
I'm more interested by the fact that Okuu.exe has bird legs.

... And giving a nuclear reactor twin busters is never a good idea, Koishi >>15770459.

While I don't like playing unfinished games, I'm going to have to start playing Shanghai.exe after I'm finished with the MMBN5 post game stuff.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1XwnHuIuHg

What happened to this, was it released or was it a ruse all along?

>>15788618

Even though it's unfinished there's a surprising amount of content in Shanghai.EXE given it's a demo.

I just started playing a bit ago. I'm up to the part where you have to bustered the viruses out of the air purifier and I'm getting frustrated because I keep getting sent back to the beginning by the clouds. This got me wondering if I'll have to play through this again when the next update is released or will my saves carry over?

Sorry if this has been answered. I haven't read the entire thread or any of the supplementary material. I'm mostly posting to bump the thread.
