/jp/ - Otaku Culture

On which difficulty?

The trick with Sakuya is moving very slowly, or barely moving.

If you're scared of that midcard op, you need to move less.

you will die in the last row of Scarlet Gensokyo and you will be like "damn"

>>You'll never 1cc EoSD ;_;

I've been at this for a week now as well. I always lose concentration and die with a crapload of bombs.

Duly noted.

>>4593578

Thank you for your generous blessing.

To defeat Sakuya, just show her Meiling.

>>4593578

Chances are, however, that OP will be in Normal Mode against Red Magic instead.

I hope you can do it Anon. I'll cheer you on from the sidelines.

The problem is I'm a total bean counter. I always die with bombs because I'm always telling myself it's too soon to use them.

Then BAM. One death and it all goes to shit as I totally lose focus in a fit of nerdrage.

I cant get pasts patchy ;_;

>>4593597
its a blessing indeed
every time it happened to me i managed to 1cc it fine in the next run (it happened to me in normal, hard and lunatic)

Wait you guys play easy? Leaving this thread then.

>>4593613

You are correct. I'm doing normal. I'm sorry, /jp/, I'm too weak for you.

>>4593618

Just wrapped up Cirno. I'm probably going to have to bite the bullet and throw out a bomb or two on Hong Meiling. On all but my best runs, that's where I usually get my first death and start suffering for it.

Now that I think of it, my longest run involved me firing off a bomb every time a bullet so much as looked at me funny, so maybe I should just go with that.

I'm going to have to congratulate you, I can never get past cirno without using a bomb. everything else i find easy on norm-luna

>>4593673
>I can never get past cirno without using a bomb
I just vomited a little in my mouth

I'm having a problem with cirno I can kill her but she always takes at least 2 bombs

>>4593628

I only managed to get used to her stage with extensive abuse of practice mode, but Patchy herself still trips me up with her random ass cards. Some of them are no problem, but others...I just have to hope she doesn't throw them out on a given run.

>>4593673
what the fuck, seriously?

>>4593651
I was under the impression that /jp/ was full of total wizards at this. I'm playing Reimu B on normal now and I can make it to stage 4 without using bombs. Even that took a LOT of work. Then, usually, I start dying in really dumb ways and ruin my chance of doing a 1cc. Dat Patchys water undine.

>>4593673
>>4593677

We've all been there. I couldn't figure out what to do about icicle fall for a while, but all her other attacks were easy enough to handle.

Whatever that one trick is that's holding you up, just burn a practice run or two experimenting. You'll try some loopy shit if you force yourself not to bomb and know that there's no tomorrow.

>>4593552
Youmu > Sakuya

>>4593693

>I was under the impression that /jp/ was full of total wizards at this.

/jp/ likes to talk a lot of shit.

What character/shot type are you using? It took me forever to 1cc EotSD until I switched to Marisa A. The ability to take out spellcards so quick makes quite a difference. The longer you let spellcards like Meiling's or Patchy's go on, the more trouble you'll have.

>>4593690
>>4593679
seriously, I find her a hell of a lot easier on luna but I think she's a nightmare on normal, mainly because of icicle fall. though I haven't had as much trouble recently.

>>4593693
you'd be surprised that i can get past stages 3-6 without a sweat(though I have a tendency to do something stupid and fuck up) but other then that I really don't like cirno.

>>4593705

I usually insisted on playing Marisa and thought homing was for fags, but it Reimu A helps pick up a high score during the stage portions, which means more lives, and more lives means more bombs, so I'm sucking it up and going with the homing amulet for now.

I used to play Marisa B because MASTER SPARK LOLOLOL but now I've settled in to Marisa A because I've died one too many times from some horseshit that came in at the side that magic missile would have killed, because the illusion lasers were cooling down or whatever the fuck they do.

haha me too
except it was because i realized how useless the Master Spark is on extra stages

>>4593705
If you can't timeout every spellcard, you're doing it wrong.
I'm not an elitist or anything, I suck at Touhou. But saying something like "the ability to take out spellcards quick makes a difference", that's a bad way to approach it. You're setting yourself up to ALWAYS be mediocre at these games.
I always practice timing out a card instead of "where should I be on the screen and when do I bomb to take it out the fastest".
Even EoSD. I seriously practice pacifist on each game even before I 1CC it. Doesn't mean I can do it, but it's important to shift your thinking that way. Damage shouldn't even be a factor in the decision of which character you play.

FOUR LIVES LEFT, SAKUYA'S FIRST APPEARANCE, WOO

CAN'T STOP THE COLE TRAIN, BABY

>>4593825

Er, scratch that.

>>4593747
but homing IS for fags.

>>4593813
>where should I be on the screen and when do I bomb to take it out the fastest

Actually that's a perfect approach and gets you 3 Lunatic 1ccs for free if you memorize well and bomb just right.

>the ability to take out spellcards quick makes a difference

The reason ReimuB/MarisaA on EoSD is pretty much the best character. Save the Patchouli rape of course. Same with ReimuA and SA.

Oh God dammit.

Well, shit.

>>4593874
another individual's dreams dashed

Can get up to patchy but cannot defeat her without a continue. Well if I used all bombs I'm sure I could.

Also usually bomb icicle fall just to be safe.

>>4593874
You can always try again

>>4593874
go home and become a family man

>>4593874
Maybe youkai hunting isn't your calling.

Don't worry, you can always be a farmer.

If you find a particular stage hard, use practice mode until you've mastered it. EoSD's 3 life limit is a bonus because it forces you to get it right.

>>4593882
>>4593904
>>4593912

>>4593897

You're exactly where I was when I started EoSD. Always bombed Icicle Fall, always had to continue by Patchy.

Even getting as far as I can has been a road of pain.

Gah, died to Remi. I even messed up stages 2 and 3 and died with bombs there as usual.

I'm a real nazi about the first 1-2 stages
I will never ever bomb, and if I get hit, I restart.
I might even restart if I loose a life on stage 3 (I'll allow myself to bomb there a few times though)

I think that I had like 40 attemps on nazrin's last spellcard on UFO when I first cleared hard.

>>4594246
This. I restart the game if I die on stages 1-3. And I keep my finger away from bomb button till stage 4.

But there's one exception, I bomb Icicle Fall. Always. If I don't, I die on it. I can clear almost every card in EoSD, but not this. I've captured it clear like 2 times out of 200. Fuck you Cirno, fuck you.

Today I'm going to finally cap the 85th scene in StB.

>>4594465

Once you figure out what to do, icicle fall is easy.

Pick a side. I always go right, but it works either way.

Stay in the middle, dodging the yellows by barely moving until the icicles get worryingly close. Pick a gap between them (there are plenty) and move to the outside of the entire wall. When you're on the outside, go back overtop of the whole thing to get back into the middle, but do not get in Cirno's face. She increases the rate of fire on the yellow spread shots if you get too close.

Once you're back in the middle, you're where you started, and can repeat this patten infinitely.

Try to time it out and you'll see it's not as rough as you were making it out to be in your head.

I don't understand people dying on Icicle Fall, but then I cave to every single attack of Meling's so I'm a fag.

The trick I use is to weave the left side between the icicles. So long as you're not directly in her face (say, the safety spot area of her card on lol EZ), she shouldn't be rapid-firing yellow shots at you--there's plenty of time to weave between, then. Especially if you've gotten practice going through Patchy's and Sakuya's stages with no hits.

I'm going to do it today, /jp/. No matter what. I'm going to 1cc Subterranean Animism. I've had enough of this bullshit.

But first, I have to get past my greatest downfall and ultimate nemesis. Even Okuu doesn't cause me as many problems.

>>4594577
But this is pretty hard to do when drunk. And I only play Touhou when I'm drunk.

real pros bomb icicle fall

>>4594534
Yeah I usually do it like that and the part when I need to go back to the middle is where I fuck it up - and if I don't, I fail at repeating it. I know it's all in my head and I just need more practice, but god damn this is annoying.

>>4594584
Satori is harder than THAT CAT on lunatic, for me.....mainly because I have absolutely no idea what to do on border of wave and particle

>>4594584
It's dangerous to go alone. Take this, anon.

HOLY SHIT ZUN BROWSES /JP/

Icicle Fall is hard? Seriously?

I just get up in her face, even on Normal. The yellow bullets are easy as fuck to dodge.

I dont even remember how Icicle Fall was.
It has been more than a lustrum since I last played EoSD normal
