/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Too hard for me...

THE BEST TIME OF WEEK IS HERE, or whatever was that line like.

Still, sitting out this round because if I can't even consistently beat Satori, how the hell am I going to beat her sister?
I haven't even unlocked Extra.
;_;

>New Danmaku Thread!
Godlike words...

Pretty much fucked up Subterranean Rose badly.

OP here.

It is getting harder to get the threads rolling. Round will stay open for now.

Next round is Perfect Cherry Blossom, Stage 2. All difficult modes open.

Score based round.

Any character and weapon allowed.

Rules for standard game.
1. You only have one try (that means no second chances and no restarts).
2. No replays (the run must be played by you and at the moment).

You have until 22:45.

>>3085908
Well, I win more than half the time when I enter one of these, and I can't beat SA Extra. Don't do hard shit like that and StB so often.

Did this no focus with SakuyaB, died on Chen's last card because of it. Also got hit with a border on sometime during the stage.

Pretty good run. Going for hard next.

Hard mode.

>>3085930
Shoot the Bullet is in the normal rotation of games, I don't see a problem with it.

>>3085908
Seeing a danmaku thread so empty like this makes me sad. Maybe it's because of Koishi?

And huh, I think I'd do better if I didn't try doing things I'm not used to.

>>3085908

Is it just me or is Chen really difficult on hard? Alice is easier for me. Her second last spellcard is annoying as hell.

pcb was the last one I 1cc'd, working on SA now

is it me or are parts of SA leagues ahead of the other ones?

>>3085955
Meh, failed her fly around and spin while throwing crap spell card. I think it's slightly random, 'cause usually there's a gap where there was only a wall of bullets this time, and I usually dodge through there to stay under Chen instead of dodging around. When the hole didn't appear, I didn't have time to find another way through. Boo. Also missed some point items, blah blah, I don't play PCB enough, especially for score.

>>3085964
I find "Immortal Sage's Rumbling" harder than any of her spell cards in Hard.

>>3086008
It has more memorization cards than the other Touhous, so it might feel that way the first few times you play through. It's actually not that bad except for a couple of Orin and Utsuho's cards, which do indeed feel rather out of place on normal.

>>3085908
I've always seen these threads and have thought they were great, but I've never bothered to participate because I think the people who do are probably in a whole different class from me. Time to go check the other scores to see how right I am. (In defense of my score, I got a little over-excited and failed her last card in the last <1 second)

>>3086016
That's the one with the tiny white bullets, right? That one is wicked annoying, but in terms of actually having problems with them, I find Flight of Itaden worse. Maybe it's just a trick/strategy I haven't memorized/picked up on.

>>3086008
ZUN difficulty levels are starting to be more inconsistent as the games come. In MoF, Aya is a wall while Sanae is pretty much half as hard as her. Kanako has really easy spell cards as well as extremely hard ones.

>>3086016

Seriously? I used to find that hard, but I realised there are always massive gaps. Though if you try to micro-dodge and graze, yeah, it's a pain.

EEH MAJI, or whatever that thing said.
I found it funny how my Easy score was way better than my Normal one (>>3085963).
;_;

Also, dicks.

I may be both inebriated and suck at Touhou, but at least I'm participating!

>>3086021
Scoring in PCB involves a lot to do good in the level, autopick up all the point items and cherry the most you can while the stage phase. I'm not that good at scoring in PCB, but I have seen a lot of improvement on my score by doing this.

>>3086064
It is indeed easy if you don't wait in a place for a gap to open. You must search for it.

have an entry for hard too

>>3085908
To be fair...

>SA Extra
Yeah.

I'm not sure what I was doing during this, though I'm pretty sure dodging bullets wasn't it.

Astronomical Entombing is an abomination that shouldn't exist in this world.

ReimuC is really fun to play. Also new record!

>>3086139
I suck at Eirin. Didn't have this unlocked for SDM team, oddly enough. I need to go back and reunlock it I guess.

>>3086206
>Astronomical Entombing
Play Malice and it becomes her easiest spell card.

there is nothing redeemable about my scoring abilities in IN

>>3086206
Take out a few spirits before Erin starts shooting at you.
It greatly reduces the number of bullets.

>>3086222
>ReimuC
This anon have guts.

>>3086049
I do think MoF had inconsistent difficulty, but I like the curve in SA, it feels like the first and second levels you actually have to be awake for vs. games with cirno where the main reason I use practice mode is so I don't have to waste time with her boring ass. And while Orin is the wall in the game, utsuho really still feels like a last boss to me.

>>3086226
I have barely played with this team, I have heard that you can actually destroy Mokou's life bar in Possessed by Phoenix though. Sound pretty strong.

>>3086233
I have tried quite some times, but it seems that it is not enoguh to reduce the bullets density. From which side I should destroy? Middle or the sides?

So bad it was good. How the hell did I beat this game once...?

At least I have never gotten so far on Hourai Elixir. Wheeee third pattern.

Tried lunatic, did horribly as expected.

>>3086223
And normal modo. Would've captured the insane bullshit tag team last card for the first time if the last 20 seconds weren't luck-based bullshit. I died at 4 seconds when a fast bullet came directly at the spot I was trying to dodge through (the aiming and speed of the white bullets is random)

>>3086292
pic lolol

>>3086273
Stick to one side and aim for the lowest ones first.
You only need to destroy two or three before it becomes beatable.

>>3086273
I prefer starting by the sides, as their bullets give me a harder time.

OP here.

That was a really close difference.

Thanks! I'll try right now.

>>3086309
>>3086314
Sweet.

>>3086282
A bit late, but I decided to try Easy too just because.
Malice Cannon.
Because Malice Cannon.

brb dying at China

Didn't do that great.

good music in a good stage

Died twice on Meiling;s opener, felt stupid.

Few things feel better than firing gigantic beams of love on a chinese girl's face.

And I just found out that you get points by hitting things with your lasers during the dialogs. What.

>>3086324
Meh, could've done better. I suck at bullet canceling, and I hate that neither Marisa type has a good bullet cancel.

Why do I always seem to capture Meiling's first card (on Normal, at least), even though I always think it's almost impossible?

Did perfectly against Meiling, messed up the stage bombing.

You know I should have realized I could have been a little more risky because you get so many extra lives in this level. Oh well.

>>3086444
If you mean the midboss card, it's probably because it's like 5 seconds long.

A no focus, no bomb run on easy. Shouldn't have done it with Marisa.

First try, first completion.

Second try, first completion. Please don't be intimidated by Shoot the Bullet.

>>3086547
>Please don't be intimidated by Shoot the Bullet.
I don't even have it installed. It's just not much fun to play after a certain point where it becomes more luck and persistence than skill in trying to beat a card. It also needs a real scoring system.

my 4-2 entry, god i hate medicine.
I should play pofv one of these days to see all those characters.

>>3086557
Which cards would you say are luck and persistence?

and my 6-3

The last two shoots are pretty bad.

>>3086444
What spell card? The mid-boss spell card, or the first when you get into the real battle with her?

STB 6-3

woo, finished off stage 7, just need 5 more pictures to unlock extra stage.

Filename says it all.

>>3086645

Wow, double my old hi-score. This spell card is actually a lot of fun.

>>3086576
9-6 obviously comes to mind first, but after level 7 or 8, more of them than not fall into those categories.

>>3086576
I know you're not asking me but,

>persistence
All Youmu, Ran, Kaguya, Shikieiki and Extra scenes.

>luck
All Meirin, Yuyuko (some), Komachi and Extra scenes as well.

At least as fast examples.

...Filename says it all.

>>3086693
Just went through all of Youmu's. 8-2 and 8-8 I got on my first try and for 8-6 took me three tries. I'll concede 8-4 which took around six tries.

Did horribly against Orin.

Orin went pretty good, had two deaths while the stage phase, really weird ones.

This is probably my best score for this stage yet.

I've gotten a lot better with MoF lately, I still messed up with the faith a couple of times though.

>>3086869
I died on Monster Cucumber at the very end, but otherwise didn't get hit or use bombs. I'm pretty bad at scoring with MOF, but basically, I just want to bomb everytime I have a chance for a lot of point items and not die, right?

Was her last spell card always named something about monsters and cucumbers?

Around here is where I just stop caring about scoring..

Frick, I wasn't able to jump in on time. Oh well, submitted anyway.

Died on the sixth stage, I think I may have been lagging quite badly during the game but I can't really tell.

>>3086984
Did you forget the hard players of the previous round?

Also, I wonder if stage 4 in UFO would have Reimu, Marisa and Sanae as bosses (depends on which you choose). I imagine him doing that every 4 games. Just a random thought.

>>3087149
Oh, sorry about that. I'll announce on the end of this round.

Is there any reason for Yuuka to be so weak on Stage 5?

>>3086984
Couldn't screenshot it on time because WHY CAN'T I SCREENSHOT ON FULLSCREEN
At least I got to final Yuka, so it was cool. I died 999 times to that ball thing, what was that.
Ah yeah, and being hit by the original Master Spark feels good, man. Especially when you don't notice she's preparing one.

>>3087151
I have some hopes for old stage 5 bosses - Sakuya, Youmu and Reisen - to appear as stage 4 bosses this time. It would make sense if their mistresses had ordered them to take a look at the ship, wouldn't it?

By the way, Reimu was brutal on this run, but damn it was fun. Dodging high speed balls while (quietly) shouting FUUUUUUUCK feels awesome.

>>3087151
Did you get that theory from the that WMG article on tvtropes?

Old-fashioned shrine maidening. Raspberry ghosts and one-eyed monsters. Feels good man.
Even if I did only made it past Marisa.

Couldn't get a screenshot (damn FS), but I won't win anyway so...
Something like 18165090.

PS, The whole fairy thing is too played out. Bring back some old enemies, ZUN.

>>3087151
I thought of that at one point too; it'd work if more than one went after the treasure at the same time.

I also thought of Iku/Tenshi/Aya for some reason, though I have no idea how Tenshi would properly fit; Aya because she's always managed to find a way in since her debut.

Any information on where to get the first 5 touhou's and emulators for em?

>>3087167
That would be ... awesome.

Yeah, Reimu is probably harder than Yuuka (just probably because Yuuka have her Double Spark). Her first attack always get me and I hate her balls.

>>3087172
No, what should I search for?

>>3087174
>PS, The whole fairy thing is too played out.
Agreed, but I don't see this happening since ZUN have forgot about how grimdark Gensokyo was back then. Also, you're not close to the Makai or Yuuka's mansion.

>>3087217
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WMG/TOUHOU
That idea has been in this article for longer than I can remember.

>>3087234
THERE GOES THE REST OF MY NIGHT

>>3087198
Seems like a random choice for me. ZUN brought Suika to Shoot the Bullet, I see him doing the same for Tenshi and Iku.

>>3087206
Games: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LR733HKA
Emulator: http://www.zophar.net/download_file/2133

>>3087234
Oh, wow. This is interesting.

>>3087234
I just thought of that while getting hit by Reimu's balls, but I really doubt it happening. I mean 7.5 was the first fighting game, then 10.5. Now 12.3, which makes lose all symmetry of numbers. I think it was coincidence for LLS and IN to have them as bosses, but with ZUN ... you never know.

15 minutes! The round will stay open until tomorrow though. Second entries are allowed.

>>3087174
I did better this time, had three lives and got careless around Yuuka. (I'm gonna win, I'm gonna... slip O-SHI)
Still not bad for my second serious runthrough of LLS.

Hey OP, you never closed the first round so...

OP here.

>>3087327
Yeah, it will stay open for now. Good job.

Touhou conspiracy theories.
Now I truely have seen everything.

Horrible. May try Normal in a while.

>>3087389
I love that stage and that boss fight, but even though knowing everything that happens there I always find a way to fail somewhere.
I did so bad I won't even both posting a screenshot. 6090. What.

>>3087389

Forgot to mention it was on Normal.

>>3087391
If you have not read tvtropes enough to not have already seen that article then you are no where near to having seen everything.

Died right on Reisen's last card and failed her last spell. Probably lost a lot of time points that way.

Also anyone try out the touhouvania demo?

>>3087389
manage to only bomb once, and no deaths. I'm still not that confident dragging out the bunched bullets in between Reisen's spellcards to graze.
Does grazing even give you time points?

OP do you think we can do the Prismrivers? I haven't done that level in a while and need to brush up on it..

I'm sorry Reisen! Didn't mean to hurt you.

>>3087528
Sure, added. 10 minutes.

>>3087506
Only if your Phantom gauge is between 80%-100%. Which means that grazing Reisen third non-spell card is a time orbs fest.

Not challenge-related, but still on topic: what do you do on Kaguya's third Last Spell? From 1 o' Clock until Half Past 2?
I just try to randomly cross the streams while unfocused and pray.

>>3087671
I'll also use that to ask for a 6B challenge whenever you can, OP.

So, yeah, it's not quite as easy to bullshit patterns with no focus on Hard...

>>3087671

Putting the first half of the stage aside, this was pretty good.

>>3087671
On Normal I do it unfocused, on Hard focused. I stay on the center bottom most of the time, but move with the spell card if I feel no confidence to move through the bullets. Also, >>3087673 added.

I've got some training to do. All I have managed was to beat 6 and get the bad ending on normal(last life, no continues or bombs left).

Looking at all the thread at /jp/ right now ... this threads really are a godsend.

Did so badly during the stage due to lying on left instead of my right. Reversed when I got to the Prismrivers and they were a cinch.

>>3087528 here,

just got back, wait for me.

bah I was doing well until the end of the stage, fucked up a border timing there..
as for the prismrivers.. just got very unlucky with the first two spellcards.

Reimu is pretty busy tonight.

Take it easy!!

>>3087904

Zero spell cards captured. I hate this stage so much.

>>3088020
Same, won't even bother with a screen since it started lagging quite a bit during the spellcard that shoots everything.

It's too late for this, I should have gone to bed hours ago.

I messed up some of the last cards because I was trying to do them all no focus to get more time, heh.

15 minutes.

I haven't played in a while, so I'll whore it up with easy modo.

This level can be considered both really hard and really easy.
I never really bothered practising since it's pretty easy to bomb through as you will have plenty of lives/bombs left from the previous stages, but just on its own the spellcards are so fucking ridiculous.. Yet I can't get myself to put time into practising them..

>>3088082
I don't understand people saying Eirin is harder than Kaguya. Eirin only have 2 hard spell cards while all Kaguya's arsenal is deadly.

There is a huge difficulty jump on this stage...

Also, forgive me for being late, my internet died.

Best I could come one for the moment. Had lots of stupid deahts on Anareta. I'll try again though.

>>3093119
Any download link? All the ones (that look like a game) in /rs/ are marked with dead, and Google was of no help.

>>3093273

Man, Anareta is damn hard. I die at least once on that attack in your picture every time I play. I'll keep trying for 1cc though.

>>3093334

Sorry, I've no idea. I bought the game.

>>3093334
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=32BF9650

Enjoy.

I've got the first stage down and some of the second stage but this mecha keeps destroying me. When I try the third stage I pretty much have no idea what's happening. Samidare is hard.

>>3093350
Nice, thanks. Time to die horrible deaths in 16 minutes.

>>3093364

Might want to update to the latest version. If I remember correctly they added shift for slow movement.

>>3093367
It is your first time playing?

>>3093364
Keep practicing, that's the last stage.

>>3093119
Man, this is not going well. I used to be okay at this too.

Touhou wiki has a Samidare page, but little gameplay information. Could anyone more experienced post some tips? The shielding is especially annoying for me, since I think there are delays between uses so I frequently end up getting hit after I press the shield button.

And what about these extra ships and the extra stage? Do you need to 1cc through Stage 3 to unlock those?

Couldn't even get past the first midboss. Awesome. The fact that I forgot completely about the shield might have been the cause.

>>3093410
Now that I remember it, it isn't. I'm sure I have played this game once before, but I probably deleted it because it couldn't run well on my (horrible) machine.
The shield system is pretty cool.

Got to the third stage this time.

>>3093543
I haven't 1cc'd yet, but I guess you need to finish it first.

>Could anyone more experienced post some tips?
From the top of my head right now ... to autocollect the stars get the enemies as close as possible. To know what I mean, when you start the first stage move in front of the line of first enemies so they explode just infront of you.

You need to save you shield for special moments, not use it whenever you want.

>>3093547
For the first mid-boss use your shield to eat all the first 3 waves of bullets (don't keep the shield on, turn it off and on every wave that comes). Then move to the bottom and stay between the lasers, when the yellow bullets are coming tap to right or left and move forward to avoid the missiles. Repeat.

Seond worthwhile entry, I tried optimizing the stages for score, I got 7.8 million points by the end of the first stage and 14 million by the time I reached Anareta, Had two stupid deaths on the stage 2 midboss though. It appears abusing the shield shooting system is the best technique for score. Quick absorption of stars by being near the enemies while destroying them is also key.

>>3094296
you, sir, are a scholar and a gentleman for helping to pirate doujin games

>>3094282
For being the first try, yeah pretty good.

Hold the shoot button to enter into focus mode, similar to DoDonPachi, but you can see your hitbox in this one. Bombs, well you know how to use them.

I still have my doubts about how the guard system works. Your bombs are like a scapegoat, if you get hit you lose a bomb, if you get hit without any bomb in your gauge you die.

>>3094312
BWR+ is freeware

If you're playing with Guard and you get hit with bombs in stock, you lose a bomb and a lot of point items. Actually using a bomb is always more effective. I don't recall if bombing has a score penalty as well, but even if it does it's not nearly as harsh as guarding. I went from 12k to 8k after one hit in stage 5

>>3094312

I believe it is freeware. No piracy involved.

>>3094296
I think that's possibly a demo since I just found a bigger version on rapidshare.

>>3094009
Pretty awesome, it reminded me of that time I tried to play DoDonPaChi (and failed).
Somehow I got to Stage 5, possibly because of my computer that lagged a lot sometimes.

>>3094382
>possibly because of my computer that lagged a lot sometimes.
Sure you're not confusing it with slow mode?

>>3094382
Just like >>3094394 said, the game have a forced slow mode (like Youmu's spell card
) when the density and speed of the bullets gets too high.

>>3094349
>>3094345
i found bwr+ on my own, talking about samidare

btw, how the hell does samidare work?

>>3094394
>>3094443
I lagged on some slow mode patterns, and it was pretty noticeable.

>>3094445
There's a link on this thread.

>>3094445
Is there a way to get Samidare online? I'm going to buy all Touhou games soon, if I can get Samidare as well that would be great.

15 minutes by the way.

>>3094481

Try paletweb. It's where I got my copy.

>>3094473
Samidare only has one special gimmick. Press X to turn on your shield, use if to eat bullets and make your weapon stronger for a short period of time (if you kill enemies in this mode you get a X16 multiplier; the amount og time the weapon stay like this depends on the number of bullets you assimilate).

The shield autorecharge only if you stop shooting and there is a delay, so if you use your shield way too much you will end draining it and end up completely defenceless, so use it with care. Also, read >>3093606.

OP here.

Samidare round winner: >>3093606.
Blue Wish Resurrection Plus round winner: >>3094282.

Last round is Battle Garegga. Play as far as 1 credit can get you.

Score based round.

Rules for standard game.
1. You only have one try (that means no second chances and no restarts).
2. No replays (the run must be played by you and at the moment).

Time limit will be determined by the number of entries.

Oh boy, sure it's fun to lose all your lives without having use any of your bombs in a spawn of time of 30 seconds. I have lost a lot of practice on this.

>>3094579
This is my third try honestly since I have absolutely no experience playing this game. The bullets are hard to see and notice.

Also any reason it's ending after three rounds today?

what the hell why are the enemy bullets so small?

>>3094724
3 rounds to you, 5 hours to OP

>>3094724
Indeed, the bullets are incredible hard to see, but if you keep playing it you will get used to it. Also, I'm exhausted, someone else can continue the thread though.

>>3094806
Just like in Touhou right? The problem here is not the size, it is that they blend with the background.

>>3094844
Okay, I'm going to see how many people who are around willing to play touhou.

Next round is Perfect Cherry Blossom, Stage 2. All difficult modes open.

Score based round.

Any character and weapon allowed.

Rules for standard game.
1. You only have one try (that means no second chances and no restarts).
2. No replays (the run must be played by you and at the moment).

Time limit will be determined by the number of entries.

I wonder why I tried to no focus this with Marisa.

>>3094956
Aww I missed the Garegga challenge, anyways might want to just make a new thread since this ones almost at the post limit.

this is my first time actually playing a level for score, not good enough at most of these to do anything but raw survival

>>3094956
Didn't we already play this?

>>3094995
I didn't close it, feel free to enter a score. I''l start a new thread after this round if enough people are around.

>>3095002
Yesterday yes, I chose something relatively short and easy in hopes of more people trying.

>>3094956

>>3094956
I was just about to do a last round, but oh well. Let me add it at 01:00, I dunno if this thread will take more rounds though, image limit is close.

>>3095069
Okay, also there are currently 119 images in this thread, not exactly sure when the limit is reached though.

I usually don't do point runs since i cant even unlock extra stages, my current challenge is unlocking EOSD's extra, not doing so great right now.

>>3095106
125 or 126.

>>3095124
that was the first one I 1cc'd, what's your problem right now?

>>3095106
125, also nevermind with that last round, it won't survive. Continue with the new thread, do I close the SA, LLS and Battle Garegga rounds or you do?

>>3095147
You close them, it doesn't seem like there are that many people around so I'm probably not going to start a new thread.

>>3095141
I'm either hot cold, sometimes I can get to patch with out a single death, other times I loose two or three lives on stage 3.

If you're playing Garegga, make sure you go into the DIP switches menu in MAME and set the region to Japan(which should set everything else to the Japanese defaults). The non-Japanese defaults don't give you any extends; the Japanese defaults give one every million points. Seeing as how the point of Battle Garegga is to crash your plane into shit on purpose, those extends are pretty fucking vital.

Just mentioning it because of the title screen picture in >>3094579

>>3095174
sounds like you just need to practice the stages then

>>3095193
Thanks for the heads-up. Need an excuse or two to fire up MAME anyway.

OP here.

>>3095164
Ow, I thought I had found an ally to do all this threads. Doing all this alone is pretty hard. If you ever feel like doing a thread, please do.

So, one more round, just because we fucking love Touhou.

Last round is Undefined Fantastic Object, Stage 1 to 3. All difficult modes open.

Score based round.

Any character and weapon allowed.

Rules for Half-full run game.
1. You can try all the times you want, just make sure to post your score in time.
2. No replays (the run must be played by you and at the moment).

Time limit will be determined by the number of entries.

>>3095174
Here's a practice strategy, try capturing each spellcard in the game at least once, by the time I had done so the stages were so thouroughly memorized to the point of me going for score on them naturally instead of just survival. It's probably because the practice stages only gives you default lives.

Watching Kefit do the game with no-focus lunatic and commentary also helped.

>>3095220
You read my mind. I'm not that PCB anon, but I was going to set up a round just like that one. Seeing as this is the last weekend before the full release.

Hi, just dropping by to thank you again for doing these threads. If the workload is big maybe I will do try to get one going when I have the free time.

Barely 100m. SanaeB is quite strong and it is great to feed your UFOs.

>>3095193
I have done this with Dimahoo and Batrider, forgot completely about doing it to Battle Garegga. Thanks.

>>3095249
That's the idea. I want to make a thread dedicated to UFO the day it comes out (right, mostly of them UFO rounds, not all of them).

>>3095254
That would be great thanks!

Did this with SanaeA, I believe I messed up with the UFOs only once and I accidently got a rainbow UFO before the swarm of red fairies before Ichirin which was quite lucky.Still died before defeating Ichirin though. Doing this without getting any extra lives is tough. Finally learned how to do Kogasa's last spellcard which is a plus.

I didn't really aim for a score run (well, I tried to follow the non-changing UFOs, but I forgot where were all of them and got a lot of wrong ones and stuff) but for some reason I 1cc'd the demo. With two lives left, as you can see, because I got hit by a last-second brolaser.
...Ichirin didn't seem that hard on this run, I wonder why. Maybe I am getting better! ヽ(；´Д｀)ノ

I'll also use this chance to thank OP for doing these threads.

15 minutes.

OP here.

Winner: >>3095290.

That would be all, thanks for playing, etc. Expect a thread the day UFO comes out. Thanks for playing.

>>3095518

Mastering scoring with those UFOs plus balancing the number of extra lives will be very hard but also refreshing.

OP here.

Winner: >>3095290.

>>3095336
My pleasure.
That would be all, thanks for playing, etc. Expect a thread the day UFO comes out. Thanks for playing.

>>3095524
Not THAT hard now that you get life pieces by beating bosses and midbosses.

>>3095524
Looking forward to it. It actually will feel like playing an arcade version of Touhou.

>>3095536

Oh? You do? When did this happen?

>>3095560
http://www16.big.or.jp/~zun/html/th12dl.html

ver.0.02 It came out on July 20. Here is the list I made with the changes.

* Now you need 4 star pieces for an extra live (instead of 3).
* Midbosses/Bosses drop star pieces at the end of the fight.
* Bug with bosses eating the UFOs' score rewards is fixed now.
* Noticed some difference in the UFOs' swamping times.

Don't know if it really worth the download, now that UFO is just less than a week away. Also, the mirror downloads are really slow.

how long after comiket do you think it'll be before we can pirate a version to our heart's content, also how long until we could hope for an english patch to be out?

>>3094956
Ended up breaking 2 borders in the stupidest way possible.

>>3095690
There's usually a torrent up the day it's released.

OP here.

SA round winner: >>3087327.
LLS round winner: >>3087387.

Just for the record.

>>3095690
People have been working on what they can using the demo to save time after release. From there it depends on how well they can keep up the pace with the rest of the content. Look forward to it, but don't expect it too soon.

>>3095690
The patch for SA was out in about 6 months.
So, sometime early next year.
But they also need to work on SWR and 12.3, so who knows?
