I am in UFO, anyone kno what to do? I want to unlock Nue

>>40152376
if you're playing above Normal mode I can't really help you but try to collect as many red UFOs as possible

>>40152376
The game is hard, so you'll have to suffer a bit no matter what. SanaeB is the easiest 1cc due to having a good spread, good bomb and good damage too if you just want to rush something for the extra. You'll have to get used to the UFO gimmick, and be able to calculate whether going for ufos when you're under fire is worth the risk or not. Deaths are very punishing, so try to prioritize survival, even if that means taking green UFOs over red ones for the extra bombs.

Not that anon, but I played Sapphire Panlogism recently and it's pretty solid on all fronts. Never seen the playable characters being depicted as so bloodthirsty but I like it.

>>40153874
She's always bloodthirsty, even in the written works she "doesn't mind needless killing".

>>40152288
Fuck UFO

fuck reimu

>>40162345
yeah

Unlocked Extra

i swear when i play as reimu b in pcb i do more damage tapping focus for half a second repeatedly than i do doing unfocused or fully focused shots
is this real or just some autism

>>40170574
Congratulations anon!

>just die, no seriously
even the game tells me to kill myself...

>>40179037
Just keep at it, anon. No other way to go but up.

after over almost 3 straight months of daily attempts I finally beat Alice with Reimu in Mystic Square. Now gonna go for the rest of the characters. I'm working on Marisa now and damn she's so much faster. Currently trying to figure out how to deal with Alice's second phase more efficiently because with reimu I'd just slide all the way left and right between the waves and let the homing shots do the work but with Marisa that takes way too long.

>>40179037
Are you using anex86?
If so you can add a font file to make the text not look so crusty.
I use this, just add it under the font tab of the settings window https://files.catbox.moe/q7kmrm.bmp

>>40183370
no, I was using the latest version of dosbox x

I would like some advice on how to beat UM with Sakuya. What is generally the best approach? What cards should I start with and what cards should I pick up?

>>40186287
Pick up any cards that will give you more shots or extra damage, and her concentrated shot will become a death laser that melts bosses. For stages, you can get away with mostly keeping it fanned out, except for parts where you know there will be troublesome big fairies, and then you can concentrate and angle it to take care of them. Basically, she's the best shot in the game, as long as you don't get flustered by the controls and can adjust on the fly.

>>40187158
Which cards do you recommend starting with?

>>40187798
Probably Saki, Alice, and Sanae (snake); I think that was the combo that won me the Extra with Sakuya.

>>40182119
based. also soew extra b is easier than c since you can consistently farm full lives and bomb on the bats

>>40184492
If you get the touhou98 pack from nyaa it comes with dosbox-x and the font file already set.

>>40195505
Make some room for me in the losers corner, bro.

I am trapped in the Extra of Legacy Of Lunatic Kingdom, anyone can help? What is the best character to play?

>>40201747
Reisen if you just want to clear without much hassle, Sanae if you want someone with a good bomb and shot, the other two if you hate yourself.

How many tries did it take you guys to clear Kinkakuji in StB? As a Hard mode shitter I'm beginning to think it's a complete waste of time to even try at my current level.

>>40202707
About a thousand shots taken, and I'm mostly a Normal player, so you definitely shouldn't give up.
It is a very difficult and RNG-heavy scene, but I think level 10 has way worse, so I'm not sure why that one in particular gets hyped up so much.

>>40202707
It requires a bit of luck, so keep at it.

>>40202767
>>40202792
I'm at around 1500. I can consistently get 5 pictures, but as soon as the third wave starts it all falls apart.

>>40202921
Yeah, the last two shots are when it really starts.
2-4 uses the same bullet types if you want to learn their hitboxes. You can get Aya's hitbox a little over halfway inside before it counts as a pichuun.

Is using the vpatch cheating? I've heard the Japanese consider it cheating and I didn't hear about this until recently. I've uploaded a bunch of MoF replays to lunarcast and I never specified that I was using vpatch because I didn't think it mattered. I use the vpatch because MoF and other early windows games tend to have frame rate issues if I'm not using vpatch. As for input lag, I don't notice a difference on MoF. The game seems just fine without vpatch, only the framerate gives me problems. Input lag is only a problem for PCB and IN. EoSD won't run at all on my machine unless I run it through thcrap. I don't use vpatch for StB and any game after MoF

>>40204322
samefag here, do people care what the settings for input latency are for post early windows games? I just checked and it was set to "Automatic" for all of them

>>40204322
Japanese players only have a thing against vpatch due to a moral policy against modifying the original software, and they'll only care if you're submitting WR-tier scores. And even then all they'll do is disallow that particular run from being on Japanese scoreboards like pnd, so you wouldn't be banned or anything and could submit another run without vpatch.
The western community fully embraces vpatch.

>>40204396
Oh, and no, not really.

>>40202707
380 and I play normal. Like others said, it takes a bit of luck.

>>40202707
Wish I had some advice to give you, but it really is one of those cards where you just have to git gud and/or lucky. What I do for the very last photo is stay just high enough up on the screen so that I can finish it off with a long-range cheap shot.

I'm not the only one who hates Reimu's focused shot in UM am I?

>>40202707
That fucking spell
That fucking son of a bitch spell. I hate that spell so god damn much.
I lost days of my life on that cock sucker.

>>40202707
Up to 1800 shots. Recently I started playing in full screen instead and I feel like playing a lot better since. I say so because just got it right away once I did active it for StB after a lot of tries in window mode.

Here's patches for a few bugs in the pc98 games https://rec98.nmlgc.net/blog/static/2022-05-31-community-choice-fixes.zip
simply replace the corresponding files in your .hdi disk images with the ones in the zip using the "disk explorer" utility.
Note that the divide error fixes could technically change the bullet pattern of Kurumi/Marisa boss by replacing a game breaking crash with a danmaku pattern. If you're autistic enough for something like this to annoy you, you can still fix the th04 stage 5 Yuuka dialogue crash without fixing the Kurumi/Marisa ones by downloading and using this file instead https://rec98.nmlgc.net/blog/static/2021-11-29-Memory-limit-fixes.zip

None of these work on the english patches yet unfortunately.

I did it /jp/. I got my very first Hard mode challenge run: HSiFS No Focus
https://files.catbox.moe/8xraf6.rpy
Wasn't expecting to get it in one try. I guess that's because HFiFS gives you lots of leeway with Lives and Releases

>>40213700
The patches are already included in the japanese game disks that come with the touhou98 experience pack, by the way, in case someone wants to have them without fiddling with the disk editor.

>>40216812
You don't mean that.

>>40216653
It seems we are at a similar level, and I was playing a lot of IN Hard only a few months ago, so with that in mind, here's what I tried to pay attention to in my runs and that stood out to me in your replay:

- Don't bomb in stages 1 and 2, period.
- When you do bomb, and it's not a deathbomb, always unfocus before bombing because Yukari's bomb is bad.
- In general I prefer to always stay focused for those enemies that have a lot of familiars, it's really up to preference and it doesn't seem like they're giving you much trouble in general but there are places where you could have saved resources if you had killed them faster, like in Stage 4 post-midboss.
- For Keine nonspells, dodge horizontally while bottomhugging and holding down for slow unfocused movement.
- Always bomb Asteroid Belt, period. You did, but as I said, you didn't use Reimu's bomb - you probably wouldn't have died there if you had released shift. As for timing, I bomb after dodging the horizontal stars for a little bit, and that tends to end the spell.
- For Marisa's second nonspell, you should be moving around more and looking for larger gaps in the stars.
- For Event Horizon, stay lower in the screen and position yourself directly above a gap, it's really easy to capture if you do it that way.
- For Starlight Typhoon, don't go outside the "circle".
- For Double Spark, stay focused the whole time, and make sure you're near either corner when she's about to fire the fuckhuge laser.
- For Shoot the Moon, stream horizontally while watching the lasers' positions.
- For Mind Blowing, use the smaller gap near the center.
- For Invisible Full Moon, you are going too far up the screen.

General advice: I would say you're wasting way too many resources on Reisen, her fight should be mostly trivial if you understand the gimmicks behind her spell cards. Also, get more practice on Marisa's fight, because for me that was what made the difference between running out of resources on stage 6 and getting a 1cc. Other than Asteroid Belt, her spell cards aren't that hard once you figure out a good strategy for them. And again, don't use Yukari's bomb. Good luck.

>>40216653
the fact that you have to spend that many resources against Reisen is a big red flag that your routing is seriously lacking. Hard is very similar to Normal in that there are very few things that don't get vastly trivialized by good routing and somewhat optimal strats. there aren't as many actual coinflip moments as in Lunatic so you should take advantage of that. your reactive dodging seems good enough for Hard too, it's just that in same sections (mainly during stages 4/5, someone else already pointed them out more precisely) it almost feels like you are approaching the game blindly.

>>40216440
It only includes the th04 patches, touhou98 experience pack doesn't include the th01 crash fixes or the th03 patch. I checked since that's where I got my disk images.

Thanks for the advice. I got to Eirin this time.

>>40216812
pick MarisaB and press x anon, you don't need to fight Sakuya. you get like 30 bombs, you can spend a bunch of them on Sakuya, it's fine

>>40217970
Good job. Is this your first attempt at a Hard clear?

>>40217470
true, you got me
doesn't make sakuya any less hard

>>40218692
Nope. I cleared PCB with both the Sakuya shot types.

>>40218006
i can't, marisa b is too hard
master spark is virtually useless because up to the point i get to sakuya, i can't hit anything since i have to be directly below it to hit anything because marisa has 0 range

i hate myself
i wish i was never born

>>40218763
yea, if you're using reimu i'm really not surprised you are struggling, she kinda just sucks compared to marisa in EoSD. the range thing just doesnt matter. it only has an effect on perfect freeze (which you can just bomb), patchouli's spells (which you should absolutely bomb), sakuya (who you can't beat anyway, so you're bombing her) and remillia's final spell. if you actually want your 1cc, get over the range thing and pick the easy character

y'all need thprac

Please tell me I'm not the only person who finds Remilia's first non-spell incredibly hard.

>>40218946
I refuse to but I dont see myself beating Flandre or any other of the beginner friendly Extra bosses that dont have spell practice without it. Heck I need practice for the stages even. Maybe I should try for HSiFS extra, the stage is easiest for me

>>40219176
What do you find hard about it? Hitboxes?

>>40219176
It's pretty intimidating at first, but once you realize the big bubbles have really small hitboxes you learn to mostly ignore them and focus on dodging the smaller bullets.

what's the best shot in LLS? I get the furthest with reimu's homing shot but it seems so weak compared to marisa.
also marisa's stage 1 is a harder layout than reimu's.

>>40220103
Marisa A has really good damage output.

>>40216812
i like the game but i don't like Flandre. That fucking demon kicks my ass.
i also don't mind getting killed by Sakuya

>>40218946
That's gay and you know it

>>40219176
on hard? yes

>>40218946
>thprac

>>40217332
I didn't know about these new th01 fixes, I'll include them in the next version, thanks.
The th03 fix isn't needed because the emulators are already configured to run the GDC at 2.5MHz when th03 is chosen.

>>40220103
Marisa A for sure.

Wait, there are players who actually don't use practice tools? No wonder you guys are stuck on getting basic 1ccs

>>40222178
Using something like that would make me feel dirty.

>>40222178
Practice tools are mega gay. Full runs for everything.

>>40218937
i still hate myself and can't do it
i hate this fucking game
i want to break something

>>40222178
like >>40222385 said.
Full runs or gay

>>40222178
People got all sorts of clears and challenge runs for years without practice tools, and most still do.

>>40222178
The stage practice that the games provide is already more than enough for almost every use case. Certain inter-stage state-dependent games like PCB and UFO benefit from more advanced tools, but most people can't even 1cc anything beyond Normal, much less push for WRs with tight resource restrictions.

>>40222178
relying on practice tools to git good will handicap your performance on the games that don't have them.
full runs or bust

>>40222178
using stage practice already provided by the game? fine
modifying the game to get practice tools that weren't there in the first place? not fine

>>40222783
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO you cant heckin use tools to practice the game efficiently, you have to play all the parts that come before that too for literally no reason at all

>>40222178
I'd only consider thprac valid for challenge/score runs, since the way I see it those are usually things people do to test their own abilities rather than what Zun explicitly intended for players to do with his games. At least when it comes to games before 17 when there weren't achievements for challenge runs.

literally every actually good player out there uses thprac and recommends everyone else to do so. being against it is peak crabs in a bucket mentality. if you want to stay bad then good for you, the rest of people can and will continue practicing and improving
in no other game or discipline is it even an argument whether people should use the best practice tools out there, as long as they go back to the standard ruleset once an actual run/match starts

>>40222958
what is your opinion on save states "for practice"?

>>40222958
People are naturally going to challenge the assertion is that not using external practice tools is the reason their skill is stagnant, because it's simply false.

>literally every actually good player out there uses thprac
This is similarly false.

You can make the argument that the tools are extremely useful without being retarded about it. If you actually wanted to help people, you'd be linking resources and instructions for getting such tools set up, for those whoa re interested in them.

Safe spots are cheating.
EoSD hitbox patch is cheating.
Malice cannon is cheating.
MoF MarisaB is cheating.
vpatch is cheating.
thprac is cheating.

>>40223304
>the assertion is that not using external practice tools is the reason their skill is stagnant
good thing i didn't say that then. if it were THE reason their skill is stagnant then good players wouldn't have existed prior to the release of thprac, or any other practice patch for that matter. the reason, most of the time at least, is people's unwillingness to do any real (and specially good) practice. whining over thprac is just a strong symptom of it

>This is similarly false.
alright, let's do 99% of players then, happy now? if you are just gonna post to argue "ACTUALLY it is not EXACTLY 100% of good players" and complain over technicalities then i do not care to read more about it. i (and most other people who have watched high level players practicing within the last couple years) have seen enough to know about how overwhelming thprac usage has become among good players. and this isn't even necessarily about thprac anymore. even when practice patches like that of SA or LoLK were more obscure and harder to set up, tons of good players were still going out of their way to get them and keep optimizing their practice time

>If you actually wanted to help people
you speak as if it was my responsibility to help people get good. i am only here to point out how retarded the argument is. it is not my job to make people improve at the game. i do not mind helping people if they explicitly request advice or help but other than that i am not randomly gonna compile and drop a list of resources and instructions and then beg people to practice and get better. they can do some work themselves, and if they really can't but genuinely want to do it then they can ask for advice too

>>40223525
>good thing i didn't say that then
Maybe (You) didn't. But >>40222178 did. Even if it's just easy bait.

>alright, let's do 99% of players then, happy now? if you are just gonna post to argue "ACTUALLY it is not EXACTLY 100% of good players" and complain over technicalities then i do not care to read more about it.
That's fine, since we're probably in agreement on everything else. I welcome you to call out babies for not wanting to practice well for the same reason I'm free to call out statements like
>players who don't use practice tools are stuck on getting basic 1ccs
>literally every actually good player out there uses thprac
for being both wrong and unhelpful.

>you speak as if it was my responsibility to help people get good.
>>If
Forgive my assumption, but I thought your intent was to help others improve, whether it be by sharing the benefits of external practice tools or convincing them to have a more productive mindset around practice.

Someone give me advice for the stage section in UFO Extra. Any advice will do.

>>40223887
After Kogasa, a new large fairy will spawn every time you destroy one for a set period of time. Eventually, they start dropping rainbow UFO tokens as well. By abusing bombs to speed kill them, you can summon multiple blue UFOs to and tons of spare tokens to collect for increased point item value.

>>40223931
I meant advice for survival play. But I assume I can do the same thing to summon red UFOs, then.

>>40223887
hold shift for focused movement

There is literally no reason why all games shouldn't have spell practice besides ZUN's laziness.

Playing the game is cheating.

>>40222958
your whole argument is based upon a false premise of linear growth. you're acting as if Billy's first Normal clear and a LoLK LNB are comparable problems with comparable solutions, and that's just silly. every stage of a shmup player's growth poses different challenges that should be faced in appropriate ways. if thprac works for you, that's great. if it doesn't, that's fine too. prescribing advanced practice tools as a universal solution is just as retarded as dogmatically refusing to use them. the whole argument, in fact, is retarded.
speaking of retardation, the way you speak about "good players" reveals you as a clueless moron. even ignoring the issues of promoting one-size-fits-all solutions and of how silly an appeal to authority is on the subject of personal growth, pretending that a superplayer's advice can be of much value to non-superplayers is dumb for the reason stated above. they're not playing the same game. a famous example of this is the claim that Apollo 13 is a free spell or that SA Extra is the easiest because they're static. that's not how a beginner or even an intermediate player is going to view it. failing to account for that is what makes you a moron whose opinion shouldn't be considered, let alone taken seriously
>>40223525
I wasn't going to address any part of this long-winded non-argument, but
>i (and most other people who have watched high level players practicing within the last couple years)
made me lol. you're not even claiming to be good at the game, you're claiming to *have watched* someone who is and trying to speak from a position of authority because of that. this is the proverbial cherry on the cake of retardation

>>40224329
ZUN has explained why they don't have it.

Gomen ne minna, I was supposed to put spell practice in every game but I got lazy and forgot, tehepero. Feel free to use thprac, I don't mind.

So far I managed to reached Orin without continues with Marisa/Alice and Reimu/Yukari, so I guess I use one of those two to 1CC this game, which one of them you guys recommend? Or are there better shot types to use?

>>40228555
Reimu/Yukari is by far the best shot type for survival.

>>40228555
Reimu/Aya if you like bomb spamming

>>40228555
Reimu/Aya is the only good shot type

>>40228555
Yukari and Patche are probably the most straightforward.

>>40225153
>prescribing advanced practice tools as a universal solution
>advanced practice tools
it is literally just playing the game, but skipping sections you don't care about. there is nothing "advanced" about the concept. nothing lower level players can't learn from. because even if you are a beginner who is struggling to beat stage 2 consistently, there are always gonna be sections you are more consistent at that you don't need to replay a million times, while others would benefit from more focused practice. and while it has some additional options you can use, no one really needs them for practice purposes. if you think playing the game is good for your improvement (and i hope you can see that much) then this is no different. just objectively more optimized

>they're not playing the same game
anon i could not give less of a shit about what you or any of them think about sections like Apollo 13 or SA ExNN, because the skill level has nothing to do with the point. once again, regardless of whether you are a LNN god or a someone who is still trying to get their first 1cc, the one thing they all have in common is that they have to play more to get better at the game. someone who struggles against a Normal stage 5 boss will benefit as much, if not even more, from replaying the section they keep dying to. you talk about this as if it could only ever be used to practice the hardest scoring tricks in these games. everyone can get better by replaying things they find hard, regardless of what "hard" means for them. there is no circumstance in which playing a section you are not good at doesn't help you get better at it. especially more so when you are newer to it and still have a ton of things to learn. the only way you don't see how this works across all levels is if you unironically believe only superplayers can benefit from playing the games several times

>you're not even claiming to be good at the game
would you believe if random anonymous #5103184 from /jp/ claimed to be good at the game? would it even hold any meaning when the definition of good will drastically vary for people of different skill levels? of course not, that's beyond retarded. i don't care to talk about myself, because that provides zero information to anyone. the difference is that, while we can argue for the rest of eternity whether someone here is actually good or not, it should be more of an objective metric to say that a player that's already more famous for having actual top tier achievements (LNNs, high scoring, etc) is good, regardless of how "good" the people discussing about it are. and a vast majority of them have had to go through the same things as any of us. no one is born with 10 LNNs and 5 world records across several games, we all have to learn how to clear the game at first. and they are not telling you how to capture lunatic PDH, they are just saying "play more, make better use of your time"

i see a lot of rambling about thprac, only reasons i see to not use it are ocd and idiocy

Yes. If you don't play blind your 1ccs are 1cheatcheats

>>40232200
Also, talking about the games or watching someone's else replay is also cheating. If you can't blind 1CC UFO on Lunatic, you shouldn't be posting on /jp/

so true

As the oldest scrub in Touhou, I can say with certainty that using practice tools is cheating. You are not allowed to have better playing conditions than I did when I started when you lot were in grade school

ok grandma

Please don't consider "ZUN's intentions" when the games are a result of his limitations as a creator.

>>40232811
I'm not talented.

I unironically believe that you should not consult other people's replays before at the minimum 1CCing. Not because it's cheating, but because it robs you of the experience of discovering your own solutions to things.

>>40233118
I agree with this on a personal level, but some people don't care about figuring things out on their own and just want to get good fast. Just a different playstyle, gotta respect it.

>>40233118
What's the point of discovering your own solutions when high level play is just studying each others replays?
Seems arbitrary.

>>40233315
If you're new enough to a game to not know the solutions, should you really be caring about high-level play? Do people really pick up random games with the intent of getting world records without even knowing if they like the game?

>>40233448
>>40233448
The strategy for Touhou games is studying and memorization.
The same strategies apply: you copy for a normal+ 1cc, and you copy for lunatic score runs.
So there's no reason to play differently unless you have some sort of self imposed autism.
Feel free to play without any reference, but it's not going to help you in the long run.
Remember this board is full of easy-hard clear players, who can't seem to improve for some strange reason..

>>40233448
>Do people really pick up random games with the intent of getting world records without even knowing if they like the game?
Excellent strawman anon
There are some people that want help and others that don’t. It’s not a hard concept to grasp. If the game was a puzzle game with a single solution, looking up the solution is cheating. Touhou is not a puzzle game no matter how hard you normalshitters want to push that agenda

A lot of it might as well be. The photo games certainly are.

Oldfag here I haven't played the games or been active in the community in like 8 years. Has the music in the newer games improved? They were objectively bad compared to 6, 7, etc... the last time I checked. How's the music for the most recent game?

>>40233828
ZUN will never be as good as he was in his prime, and I think everyone has already accepted that. UFO was 13 years ago, and EoSD is turning 20. It is what it is.

>>40233842
UFO was the last game I played so I guess I've been out of this community for a long time. If I recall correctly the music is a very critical part of the Touhou economy. The secondary fans fall in love with the characters from their theme songs and designs. People aren't going to make remix or do fan arts of characters with shitty music. ZUN should retire or acknowledge he's washed in the music department and higher a guy to compose for him. His art is objectively better in my opinion.

>>40233315
>What's the point of discovering your own solutions
It's fun. It's engaging. It's rewarding. 1CCs are so easy that you absolutely do not need to research other replays. I highly encourage people to study their own replays, though, both to understand what they did wrong and to give them the opportunity to step back and deconstruct problematic sections more easily.

If you think high level scoring play is just copying other superplayers, you're mistaken. Experimenting and finding new tricks and contributing novel ideas to the overall pool of knowledge is the core of games like STGs. I understand only a very small fraction of players will ever really participate in that way, but anyone can still get a taste of it by creating their own solutions and techniques for problems they encounter, regardless of skill level. I think that creative process is worth something.

>>40233828
The OSTs peaked with 12 for me, with maybe 15 coming somewhat close, but the later entries still have a selection of good to great tracks I like to revisit. I liked the themes he made in the past and I like the ones he makes today. The music still fits thematically and is pleasant to listen to so I won't complain about Zun losing his touch.
>How's the music for the most recent game?
It's good enough, I'd say it has more memorable than forgettable tracks.

>>40233807
Not really. If you need to use your brain to compensate for your lack of skill then touhou might now be for you

Are you including Seihou in this then?

I'm playing PoFV for the first time, I wonder if pressing Shift does more than just slowing down your movement

>>40233807
Ironically I found the photo games much easier to route for this reason, since there’s generally a “right” way to do things that presents itself after enough trial and error. I never had to look anything up for an all clear of StB and a hatate clear of DS
Meanwhile a lot of the finer points of high level survival and especially scoring are not quite as obvious, and small optimizations start to add up much more substantially, which you will inevitably be missing out on if you refuse to learn.

>>40236605
you can capture spirits with it. You will notice that each character has some sort of weird shape around them when you press shift, if spirits get caught inside that they will stop and you can kill them if you don't they will blow up and harm you

>>40236547
holy mother of shit taste

>>40236593

Not really an argument but ok

>>40236641
the only reasonable complaint about his taste is the exclusion of PoDD.

>>40236605
Pretty sure holding shift will reduce the speed/rate fairies and spirits spawn

>>40238240
Close, it's that no more than one line of fairies at a time will spawn on your field while you're focused. This makes constantly holding focus really bad for trying to survive an intense barrage, because there will be fewer fairies on screen, and so you'll cancel fewer small white bullets by shooting them down. You can work around this by regularly unfocusing for a moment to let more spawn.

>>40245577
>Wait so the game actually punishes you for focusing?
Not exactly; it punishes you for never unfocusing, but using focus to activate spirits is still important. How much you should focus depends on the situation and what character you're playing.
>What's even the point of using the auto-fire control scheme?
That, I don't know. It seems terrible and I've never seriously used it.

>>40245931
oh, and i forgot to point out the irony of saying this while NOT ONLY being a normal-only player, but being so insecure about their skill level that you'd remove the hard-luna boxes from your chart. and to complete the set, bashing on easy mode players as though you're any better than them. this almost reads like satire, it's perfect.

>>40246018
a real fan would understand that there's a learning curve to making actually decent video games and forgive ZUN for it, then play the actually fun later entries. it's braindead to accept anything and everything just because it's from a series you love.

it's definitely the worst of the pc98 games, but besides the extra it's not that hard.

which one? out of the first 5 only the first one isn't worth playing for the story, and i don't think it has an easy mode, though i might be wrong.
and usually not only you get locked out from the last boss, but you also can't unlock the extra (which has it's own story)

>>40250458
>have you played PoDD?
yeah, I did. the game was easy for the first six or seven stages and then the game just said "fuck you" after a certain point. extremely inconsistent difficulty. fuck Phantasmagorias. RNG ridden cancer. even EoSD didn't have it that bad

>>40250581
>then the game just said "fuck you" after a certain point. extremely inconsistent difficulty. fuck Phantasmagorias. RNG ridden cancer.
that's not exactly true, at least on normal. the last 2 stages are very consistent, as in the ai will start chocking after one of the bottom counters reach 15 or something. in practice this means that you pretty much HAVE to die on yumemi ones in order to beat her.

i did all the 9 normal 1cc in a couple of days so it's definitely very consistent. you just need to drag out the fight for as long as possible during the last 2 stages, all the others are unironically easy.

i guess i might try lunatic just for shit and giggles

I don't get the people who don't understand it's meant to fuck you over unless you abuse the score mechanic.
You will not beat this game unless you abuse the shit out of the bonus spells you can pop off for free, then let the bonus reset.

>>40256156
>last digit
?

i think that games completition can be 100% only if you haven't used continues, since otherwise you get locked out of the last boss fight

>>40256283
In the Windows games at least, the last digit of your score is equal to the number of continues you've used. Don't know if that holds true for the PC-98 games, though.

Getting close to 1cc LoLK on hard. I've been consistenly reaching stage 6 with 2-3 lives for the past days, on one ocassion I even had 5 but I got so nervous I ended up choking. Can't get a 1cc without one of those. I'd get more runs going but I've optimized stage 1 so much by now that I just reset the moment I die to some dumb shit. I allow myself to lose 1 stock against the boss though, but 2 stocks means reset.
Oh and I finally realized on Clownpiece's 1st and 2nd none, the lasers hitbox dissapear before the actual animation does so that gives me a so much needed extra window of frames where I can dodge upcoming stars. Love when I find little details on my own.

>>40263097
I feel like Reimu would be easier than reisen. Reisen's bomb enlarges your hitbox too much and makes some spells impossible to dodge, and it also doesn't save you from lasers. Reimu on the other hand makes most stages trivial.

https://zps-stg.github.io/dc

is this difficulty list accurate in your experience?

>>40265150
according to this list, UM Sanae is my most impressive Lunatic 1CC and MoF is my least impressive Lunatic 1CC, which to me sounds like complete bullshit because MoF felt like the game I struggled with the most and UM felt like the one I struggled with the least

>>40250627
>i guess i might try lunatic just for shit and giggles
i unironically did this, it's wasn't THAT bad

>>40265150
SA is super overrated there, probably in large part due to the absolutely retarded recommendation of using ReimuA. DDC normal being the same difficulty as LoLK normal seems like a joke, and UM normal is also insanely high up for some reason. no idea on anything above that, but if normal rating is this wacked out the rest probably is too.

So what shot type is the easiest to clear SA with, then?

>>40265150
No, the list is bullshit
I'm not sure how accurate the numbers are on the shmup scale, but I'll assume it's within reason
>17 for IN lunatic (border team), 24 for solos
The only one I can feasibly see being a 24 is solo Alice with her dogshit range, inability to hit familiars, and terrible bomb. Yuyuko and Yukari have really good range and can pump out damage. Marisa gets rid of a chip on her shoulder and gets better. Reimu still trivializes stages. This assessment is just lazy and wrong
>21 for EoSD, SA, and DDC lunatic
EoSD is one of the easier lunatics while DDC can be utterly ridiculous at times. SA is somewhere in between
>LoLK lunatic with Marisa is 24, EoSD is 21
No. Marisa is aids in that game even with the generous life system. This was much worse than solo Alice as well despite being a much better player at that point in time
>HRtP lunatic is 18
This is one of the most egregious errors on this list. Same tier as UFO hard apparently
>IN LNB is 28
It's easier than solo Alice (24) with the border team by a significant margin. Solo Alice gets so bad at certain points like timing out TWO (2) of Reimu's spells, mystia's second non, keine's first 4 boss attacks, etc. Fuck that character
>SoEW lunatic is 21 and 17 with autofire
The only time autofire really makes a difference is on bosses when shotgunning with a bomb. Tapping at PoFV speed is more than enough on stages and bomb shotgunning bosses can be done by mashing with little difference in autofire. The game also isn't a 21. It's in MoF territory
>PCB extra and phantasm at 8
Despite both being straightforward, phantasm is still much more difficult. The stage has much less room for error. Yukari has harder spells overall and has an extra card which only ticks down while not invulnerable
I understand that the creator has different strengths and experiences, but the ones highlighted are inexcusable in my eyes and lower the credibility of the list as a whole. I'd advise against taking any difficulty discussions to heart as it muddies the waters and really doesn't serve much of a purpose. Play the games and decide for yourself

>>40274344
>This is one of the most egregious errors on this list. Same tier as UFO hard apparently
so, is 18 too high or too low for hrtp?

also, should we make a /thgg/-approved 1cc difficulty list? i have an idea in mind

>>40275038
nta, that sounds like a really cool idea but I think we'd need at least several players with roughly 80% of the 1CC filled or at least majority of Lunatic 1CCs. I haven't seen superplayers like Yuyukofag and Kokorofag for quite some time. My chart is nearly good enough to rank all games

>>40275215
*isn't nearly

>>40275215
>we'd need at least several players with roughly 80% of the 1CC filled or at least majority of Lunatic 1CC
i know a good way of sorting the difficulties even with few players who did few 1cc. as long as there are a couple of people who have done most of the lunatic runs it should be ok, everything should be filled within a few months.

also i would avoid including LNB and other tryhard runs to keep things simple

>>40275260
>also i would avoid including LNB and other tryhard runs to keep things simple
that's a shame but understandable
should posting 1CC charts being a requirement for this too?

>>40275284
i guess, though 1cc chart doesn't really mean anything. also since this general is very niche, i doubt we'll get more than 1k 1cc clear in total, so it should be easy to filter troll votes manually

right now i'm looking if my idea is doable with google forms, because that would save a lot of time on coding. also that would prevent multiple entries by the same person

but only doubt is how to handle different shot types. maybe rating the 1cc's difficulty based on the easiest character/shot type? or extimating an "average" between all the shot types? having a separate rating for each shot type would be way too messy

>>40275038
>should we make a /thgg/-approved 1cc difficulty list?
a much better use of time would be compiling a list of tips/replays for every game, stage, spell, etc.
difficulty lists are vague and only ever lead to pointless bickering and ego-boosting

>>40275599
>a list of tips/replays for every game, stage, spell, etc.
isn't there already a website or 2 for that?

>>40275599
Seconding this, sounds like an interesting idea and something that could actually be helpful to people. If anything I'm surprised there's not a more comprehensive guide to these games out there already, meanwhile the wiki only has few short and mostly vague guides for very few games, with tips as incredibly useful as "Can't be bothered to explain lol just watch this run bro".
Also it's something anyone can make tangible contributions towards, as opposed to a poll with results most people will realistically ignore or dismiss after a short while.

>>40275599
That idea sounds good but my problem with that is that anon said no tryhard runs which is bad for me because I feel like I'm not making proper use of my dodging skills unless I do No Bomb. I wouldn't want to show people of replay of me bomb spamming my way through half the game. I don't think people would learn from that

>>40274205
ReimuC, obviously. here's a quick rundown of the main differences between the shot types:

ReimuA:
- has to fight Yuugi
- has to fight Satori
- has to fight Orin
- has to fight Utsuho

ReimuC:
- doesn't

>>40275914
so basically a touhou wiki but only for gameplay?

>>40276242
Pretty much, yes. Unless someone can suggest a better way to compile all that information.

>>40276333
so you think that, for example, the information available here https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Embodiment_of_Scarlet_Devil/Strategy isn't enough? how would you expand it? also why not expand the main wiki?

>>40276373
No, it's not enough, considering it doesn't even account for different difficulties, presumably because it is mostly focused on scoring tips. And even then, a lot of information is missing, Stage 5 being the most blatant example.

I imagine something like https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/User:Arknarok/Touhou_Strategy_Guide/TH06/Extra would be more useful. The problem is that guides like these are rare and are lost in random user pages so they are even harder to find regularly. And even that guide could use some improvements. Outside of the outdated routes, you could use screenshots or replays to make the information more digestible. Which will also make it easier to add new information without having to write huge walls of text like the one for Flan's survival.

Just having all the information properly organized goes a long way, but there's still a ton of info that's simply missing. Especially so for the "newer" games.

I can't remember, does vpatch's vsync being set to 0 reduce or increase input lag?

>>40276060
Even as a low level survival I've never thought ReimuC's bomb made up for the shitty shot, and ReimuA also has the teleport thing which is quite handy for the last two stages. But maybe I'm not bombspamming hard enough.

>>40276916
No, I think you're underrating her shot. It's really not that bad.

>>40276916
here's a quick replay i threw together to show the level of bomb spamming you can easily get away with: https://files.catbox.moe/7by77i.rpy

the utsuho fight was beyond botched, but you get the point. i finished with a lot of lives left, so obviously you can bomb the stage sections much more than this if you want to.

>>40275260
>tryhard runs
kek this thread

>>40275409
>maybe rating the 1cc's difficulty based on the easiest character/shot type?
can't wait to see lolk at the bottom of the list

>>40275038
18 is much too high for HRtP considering you can bomb spam stages to build up lives for the boss. It’s not much harder than an extra stage imo

>>40278359
what's the alternative tho? not enough people have beaten the games with all the shot types, so average isn't practical.

>>40278587
the alternative is to simply not try to rally a community of scrubs to do anything that requires game knowledge.

>>40278467
I can No Bomb some Extra stages but I can't even get past Mima and YuugenMagan without losing all my lives. Being limited to moving left and right to dodge and trying not to get hit by the Yin Yang orb at the same time is pretty difficult imo

>>40278753
Your bombs do damage but only on your last life. If you did the stages well, then you won’t need to dodge at all

>>40277363
I'm aware the damage output is not bad, but I'm biased because I can't stand that kind of shot.

>>40277662
Well, I'll admit I didn't know the bomb was that strong when you positioned yourself on top of the boss. Maybe I'll do a run like that just so the SA section of my chart doesn't look so empty.

Vsync as a concept is something that increases input lag because it forces the GPU to wait until an entire frame has been drawn before pushing it to the monitor, in turn removing any possibility of tearing.
Vsync = 0 on vpatch means vsync disabled, so it's the setting with the lower input lag.

>>40279889
I remember reading the description of somebody's UFO Lunatic 1CC on youtube and they said
>used vpatch with vysnc turned ON
which I assume meant they were playing with reduced input lag. I guess they meant to say they had vsync turned off. I don't know why anybody would play with vpatch if they aren't using vsync

>>40280273
There's no reason not to use vpatch, even if you want to play with vsync. It can fix some cases of unstable framerate, it lets you resize the window, it allows you to fast-forward replays in all games, and in some games it even lets you fix glitches too.

>>40262234
Fucking finally, I knew I could get this soon. Didn't capture a single spell from Junko which is absolutely disgusting but still, glad I could pull it off.

>>40282971
Impressive. Good job anon.

>>40282971
>reisen
ok

>>40283544
It still took me several hours, and it's not like I didn't give spells a try and turn the run into a bomb fest. Still, all that time spent on her means I can now reach stage 4/5 with ease with both Reimu and Marisa.
