There is nothing her sword cannot cut.

>>6717800
Kids like her can't handle some foods, Hong.

But softness is measure on the Mohs scale, not in ounces.

Have you uploaded this to mediafire yet?

>>6717834
Check the other thread.

20 minutes until my DL is done.

Youmu
Hard
Mouth

Sounds like we're talking penis.

>>6717800

My grandpa used to wear that same sweater.

>>6717873
Now people will want to rape your grandpa's corpse while screaming how soft (and moldy) he is.

>>6717800
What is this game?

Is there a download link to this game somewhere? I know the game just came out today but I can't find a link anywhere.

Hard Youmu makes me hard

The game crashes every time i start it.
FUCK YOU AJA!

So Youmu is hardest boss in the game?

>>6717957
No, she is the softest.

>>6717843
What other thread?

>>6717957

To me it's Marisa.

so this is my first castlevania game ever

i got killed by alice (first boss) 5 times on easy

How do you slide? ive been mashing random buttons to no avail and cant read all the gibberish

>>6718393
for me it was yuyucow.
until I learned you could alice-spam her to death

>>6717919

same problem here, bro. Godammit, Aja

yukari was pretty easy to beat.
just spam patchy and go berserk

Upload please

>>6718397
i dont think you can slide.
down + jump does a backwards dash thingy though

So what are the system requirements for this? I got old and shitty hardware, so its kind of important to me.

>>6718538
Windows XP/Vista, Intel R Core 2 Duo processor, 1 GB RAM, 64 MB VRAM, DirectX 9.0c, DirectSound

and wtf... the program starts but I can't get anything besides a black screen... applocale isn't helping either.

you have to install it. copying it off the cd will fail.

Why is this game so hard.

Any tips on the first boss? Is there anything I'm not getting here, I can't really hit her when my throwing knives are out, unless I go in and damage myself.

backdash gives you invincibility. use it to jump through her bullets, then slash with sword.

Upload link, please?

Torrent or DDL?

>pad config

>>6718614
Well, you just saved me a download and install, thanks.

HOLY DICKS THIS GAME IS SHORT. Or it was simply too easy for me.

Still fucking awesome, though.

>>6717919
>>6718413
>>6718538
Although the system requirements don't mention it the game needs sse2 that's why it doesn't run on older machines only pentium 4's and up no athlon's can run it. It's pretty silly considering it's dated graphics. The programmer has a lot to learn about formalization because requiring a dual core to run a 800x600 2d game is atrocious. FUCKING AJA

I can't even describe how okay with this I am.
Cannot wait to get there ingame.

>>6719238
directx is a huge bitch to do 2D with ever since directdraw was removed; even microsoft's official workarounds are poorly documented (sometimes even incorrectly!) and really its just faking 2D with 3D polygons and billboard sprites. there's no excuse for poor optimization but it's understandable for a hobbyist programmer.

>>6719238
FUCKING AJA

really, thanks for pointing out Aja's retarded programming to me

>>6719300
Well technically it's not a hobbyist undertaking but a full fledged product sold in on-line stores, and if western indy devs can do it why cant he?

>>6719300
They should have used OpenGL

>>6719373
Super Meat Boy on PC is quite difficult to run, given it's a 2D platformer with few effects. Requires PS2.0 for seemingly no reason at all.
Just throwing that out there.

>>6719300
But man 3GHz and 1GB ram for a 800x600 game? Thats beyond ridiculous even direcx isn't that messed up... It's like the whole game was written in java and run through virtualization software...

>>6718729
attack alice after she does the spinning wheels of blue and green
run away to avoid the next wheel
attack when shes charging her spellcard
use knives to only kill the dolls
repeat

Anyone has ripped the portraits yet ?

>i7 930
>6GB DDR3
>GTX 460 Hawk

Peasants

So uh, apparently Master Spark doesn't do any damage...
I take it that's what patch 1.01 does?

>>6719373
we probably have more libraries written for this kind of thing than the japs. i can think of a couple that do 2D graphics in opengl that are pretty easy to use, and at least one for directx. i guarantee that many, if not all of them, have zero japanese support.

>>6719509
the ram is understandable. silly, but understandable. it's most likely loading EVERYTHING into memory rather than leaving unused assets on the HD. the processor is most likely a symptom of just poor coding.

really i'm guessing on everything here since i haven't even downloaded the game, and i'd have to look at the source to make any real judgments.

>>6719670
GTFO ;_;

>>6719735
How can you learn to code without knowing english every programing language is based around eglish not only the documentation but also the syntax. That's just retarded and this comes from someone thats not a native speaker.

>>6719661
Perhaps, I'll upload it soon but in the meantime have the BGMs.

http://www.mediafire.com/?locr6kccif12rez

>>6719786
you still need to be told what functions are part of a library, what they do, what arguments can be passed to them and what they return.

Started playing a bit of it. Is there any practical use for the backstep attack? It looks cool, but it seems as if the knives rarely hit anything.

>>6719891
Stops you from wildly careening down an entire flight of stairs if you accidentally use it at the top?

>>6719849
Huh. Any more of Ran?

I do like her design.

>>6719926
Yeah there are more but I would rather upload them all at once since there are only slight variations to the facial expressions.

Shame the language used isn't well suited for the type of genre it was going for.

To anybody not downloading due to system requirements:

I have a 1.2 ghz singlecore netbook and the game runs fine. In widescreen for some reason, but still fine, it's even smoother than the first touhouvania. Just turn Vsync off install the patch and you're set.

>>6720066
Or, try installing the demo to see if you get a black screen.

Does anyone know how the hell to change the keyboard controls

>>6719849
thanks. think you could also get the sprites or voices while at it?

>800x600
800x480. it's 480p wide screen, though not using any decent ratio. it should be 854x480 for 16:9 or 768x480 for 16:10. silly japs and their no following of standards.

it also doesn't load everything into the memory. i checked, the character spritesheets are usually loaded on a needed basis.

the game takes around 300 mb of ram usually, or at least that's how big the memory dumps are.

>>6720066
doesn't change the fact that the game still instantly crashes on startup for me demo/full/and patched version alike.

game gets really slow when fighthing yuyuko, anyone else having trouble with this?

Here are a few more files from the game, voices are being uploaded at the moment.

Textures and Sprites
http://www.mediafire.com/?5ar474bckclg4v5

Character Portraits - Misc.
http://www.mediafire.com/?fauwteycct92v5m

anyone know who the voice cast is?

>>6720685
No. Just like you, we all live in caves with no contact with that outside world and are unable to use search engines.

So I've been going through the game at the pace of go through stage until I reach the boss, lose all my lives at the boss. Continue from the beginning of that boss's stage, reach the boss and actually beat it this time since I've figured out what to do. After that I go through the next stage then lose at the next stage's boss. Situation repeats.

How many stages does this game have? And when do I get more subweapons? Last thing I reached was the stage 4 boss.

Also some of these enemies are really dicks. Like the Buer.

>>6720754
You get Alice and Patchy after beating Marisa on stage 4. You can change the number of lives you start with too in the config. Up to 20. Kills the difficulty, but whatever.

Going to be tremendously lost as I cannot read barbarian scribble. I'll try my best.

>>6720811
Can you play as marisa? Super marisa world isnt doing it for me anymore. She needs more games.

>>6720668
Those enemy sprites look like they were ripped straight from castlevania...
wouldn't be surprised if they were...

>>6720828
There's always Masterburner.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tuX4oJTDR0

Youmu is hard until you find out you can corner her to the right when she dashes with her super. and then spam up+attack, you can kill her within three patterns.

I keep redownloading to see if its just me, but it seems game file 2 and 3 have non working Dat files.

>>6720899
Or you realize that she whiffs on her projectile attacks if you're standing/hovering next to her.

>>6719849

Does this include the full version of Afraid?

>>6720874
This looks amazing. Found a Dl link easy too. Thank you very much anon.

Alright here are the voice files for both the dialogue and the character sounds.

http://www.mediafire.com/?t9sgc3ev83oeq0h

My work here is pretty much done, so hope you guys enjoyed it. Till next time.

>>6720911
I want to know this as well

Why is the Lunar Dial so fucking usless? It doesn't fucking work on bosses and big enemies. WTF?

>>6720927
You did? The full version came out day 3 of this Comiket, ie today. Sure you're not looking at the trial or the original non-Climax?

>>6720978
http://www.mediafire.com/?k9bj3wtaegsb1

Contains files named climax. DL'd all. This guy seems to have a lot of comiket on his profile.

すごい。

>>6720971
you can still use it to breeze through the stages since it stops pretty much all of the annoying small fry shit that populates the stages.

it also stops the spike traps, and even the gates in the colosseum.

SCARLET
SCARLET IS FALLING DOWN

>>6720937

Thanks, I wanted to hear how Youmu sounded. Her voice doesn't seem to work as well when expressing a lot of emotion, I think. Not bad, but could be better. But when she speaks calmly, oh my god, I love it.

>>6720971

It's mostly for stage obstacles and weak enemies. It makes the rotating floors and spike pits a lot easier to get through.

>>6720811
Turned the lives to 20, but also changed the difficulty to hard. Stage 5 is brutal. And I don't have a lick of an idea on how you're supposed to beat Reimu. The only time I've noticed that I can get a safe hit on her is right when she starts her pattern. Every other moment she's doing jumpwhipping, sliding, and shooting amulets all over the place. The fact that she also has a melee weapon she uses makes it very hard to attack her.

I can't beat Reimu ughh
Any tips?

>>6721086
that expression. i need to fap.

>>6721107
Jump over her stuff, kick her in the face? Only hard thing about her was her whip that does 1/3 your life.

>>6721107
She attacks in a set order. It's something like
slide whip pause slide whip amulet#1
slide whip pause slide whip amulet#2
slide whip pause slide whip amulet#3
spellcard

The best thing to do is jump over her slide, avoid the whip and hit her a couple of times on the pause. Then just focus on dodging until the next short pause. It's slow, but safe.
Flying up at the top of your jump will dodge the amulets.

>>6721107
Try using Alice. I beat Reimu pretty easily by dodging her attacks and spamming Alice's dolls.

oh god the final battle theme

is Ran insane here?

>>6721047
Larger file looks to be the entire game. 3D touhou at last.

Uh, every single one of those is marked as a trial. Reading Japanese, it helps.

Is there an english patch for komanjou 2 out yet?
Is the 1.01 patch posted here: http://kalfisquine.net/blog/?page_id=1101
it?

>>6721136
Hard player here. Beat her before I read your post. I stuck entirely to throwing knives for offense. I like how every boss battle in this game has resorted to me using knives. Like I have to danmaku for the danmaku battles. Alice, Chen, Youmu, Marisa, and now Reimu, all defeated with knifespam. Also Alice's dolls are great for enemies you don't want to deal with. For me particularly the werewolves. When one comboed me through the door to the next room I knew I shouldn't be messing with them.

>>6721280
How did you even come to that conclusion?
I mean, seriously? Do you really think that? A game that released a few hours ago being translated in the same day?

cant wait for them to release the ost for this game's soundtrack, especially on prism heart remix and afraid.

How do you get extra partners? I'm on stage 4 and still only have Meiling.

>Like I have to danmaku for the danmaku battles.

WHAT MANNER OF SORCERY IS THIS

>>6721299
Meiling and some others heavily implied(yesterday on a thread that is no more) that the producers of komanjou did the english translation for the game themselves and released the translation on the same day it went on sale.

>>6721280
It just came out today and you want an English patch!? Do you know how many time it took for the original to have one?

>>6721358
The game did have an official translation, but it was after some months!

>>6721365
Well, since the english patch was made by the creators themselves, you'd figure that they'd simply just include it in the game from the get-go this time around.

... they probably ran out of time, though, like many indie developers do.

>>6721391
IIRC from one of their blog posts, it was official, but they didn't do it. One of their friends that had spent a couple years in France did, hence the inclusion of French in the translations for no reason. It still wasn't a great translation anyway, full of Engrish and other issues.
If someone has a way to edit the scripts, I could do a quick translation over the weekend, but usually hacking takes a while, and it's often not worth it on early versions since new patches mean work has to be redone.

She needs to wear this cape all the time

oh god chen what happened to you

>>6721455

She and Ran are both rabid animals
you've just had your eyes awoken to the truth

There a Touhouvania 1 English Patch?!

Link me please.

>>6721454
Nothing beats DAT GHOST NUN, though.

>>6721560
The options program for the original game had an option to set the game to English. Marred English, but English nonetheless.

Any EX Final boss?
Flanders?

>>6721239
>>6721239
Hmm, i thought the 187 meg read last, as in last one released. I guess its last trial, as in the last trial version they will make. gonna monitor /jp/ closely the next few days for that.

>>6721315
Beat that stage and you'll get partners.

>>6721625
I've just played it. It has 5 stages. It looks like this is supposed to be EoSD. If so, they are still missing stage 6 and extra.

Remilia being bored is so appealing. I like that she has almost all of the oujou speech quirks including "kashira" and "dawa". Such a refined lady.

How do I change weapons? Or am I stuck with only 1 per stage?

Also can't freeze time during boss battles is bs.

>>6722079

Press V to weapon change. Also, time stop doesn't work on bosses because it would be way too easy.

>youmu
>hard

what. Reimu was friggin' harder.

>>6722086
Time stop doesn't work on some regular enemies either. I feel like it's pretty useless.

>>6722189

The enemies I haven't seen it work on are larger ones and the sword fairies. It still has its place for certain areas, mostly stage 2 from what I know so far.

>>6722207
It's alright for early stages since you don't have a lot of subweapons yet. After stage 4, there's really no reason to equip it, since you get much better ones.

Finished game, got Omake sketches, but no extra level? C'mon, how can Yukari not be an EX Boss in this? Especially with how easy she was in the normal story? Seriously, Yukari was a pushover.

Does anyone have a solution to the black screen problem?

When I try to run the config I get the "Error: Startup Failed" and when I try the installer I just get "install: an unexpected error has occured". The game itself is just the black screen.

Running Windows 7. Specs should be fine.

Is it the locale? Should I change it to Japanese?

The 1.01 patcher doesn't seem to work either.

They actually had native English speakers edit the English translation this time. The last I heard they'd had all of the main in-game dialogue edited (some weeks ago), so at least the main portion of the game should be fine for Koumajou 2. I don't know how big the post game is.

>>6719670
>Your face while making this post.

>>6721454
>BELTS ON THE FUCKING BROOM

Alright, where's the download link?

I wanna ask something regarding the first game
In the first game, I have reached stage 3 then after I got game over, I closed the Koumajou.exe. But when I start Koumajou.exe again and choose 'continue', I started from stage 1 again. Why it doesn't continue from stage 3? Is this really the case? or am I doing something wrong?

For those with the Blackscreen issue, you need an actual ISO of the game. Mount it on the virtual CD app of your choice (IE Daemon Tools) and run the installer that way. Just running it from your computer will cause a fatal error. The game seems to refuse to run unless you properly install it, patcher has the same issue.

This ever happen to anyone? I was talking to Youmou and I had to stop for a minute since someone needed to check their mail. I minimized and when I came back this was how I found it haha. Happened to Yuyuko as well, and I was stuck fighting them like this since I couldn't be assed to do the stage all over again

>>6722560

That didn't work for me either.

Tried the one from Hong's mefiafire and the .iso from torrent, ran both installers with applocale, had the image file mounted and tried with and without patch.

The initial logo appears, but nothing after that.

>>6722333
install the game, and make sure the folders where the game is aren't named with moonrunes. That worked for me.

>>6724014

I named the folder simply "Touhouvania II" in the installer. No runes in any other folder either.

>>6724035
at least I can confirm you that the game uploaded by Hong works just fine.

and well, what I did is this: extract the folder from the rar, rename the folder, open the installer, install the game (without applocale), then install the 1.01 patch using applocale... that's it.

I got the same errors you speak of, and that got it working, anyway, I have the Japanese Language pack installed...

well and now off to work ;_;.

I hope you can fix this.

>>6724200

Tried installing again exactly as you did, but it still won't work.

Oh yeah, there was some ffdshow dialog asking if I want to allow loading it, but nothing I tried helped. Messing with ffdshow's settings only makes the game outright crash instead of the black screen.

holy shit I love track 20 on the bgm rip

is iit based on a Touhou song or just one they made up?

>>6720668
Can someone throw this but for the first game?
And the of the first music also, it was awesome

>>6724444
"It's alright to kill her, right!?" Never change Flan.

okay. how the hell do you get more partners than just Meiling. Do you have to beat the boss without any tools or partners or something?

>>6724497

You have to defeat Patchouli.

>>6724200
So, if I patch game, it should work properly?
Because when I try to run the game, it closes after few seconds.

>>6724497
You simply get more partner options when you advance to next stages, by the end you can have Meiling, Alice, Reimu, Flan and Patchouli.

>>6724510

What about Marisa?

PARTY@MAH TREE

>>6724539
No. Marisa comes to troll Sakuya about Patchouli's condition and gets her ass kicked. I'm currently trying to defeat Yuyuko on Hard. She was quite annoying on Normal already.

Well tbh none of the bosses were too hard. Youmu was a bit messy until I found out you can lure her to the right corner of the cave and she'll durr hitting said corner while you knivespam. Marisa does have a set pattern, jump/float then crouch for her lasers and the promotional video told me what to do for her Earth Light Ray so I was prepared. For Reimu you just have to keep your distance to lure the bullets but hitting her without getting hit yourself is a bit tough. Ran's easy if you just use Reimu's orbs, as is Yuyuko.

My HP was wasted for EX-Remi but after you find the gaps in her lasers it's a matter of floating in those and spam Reimu's orbs.

Yukari sounded deliciously trolled in the 3rd Omake so hot damn is a translation of that needed.

>>6724438
This

Link to sound track of the first game?

so far the game is pretty easy. I know the first one seemed to kick my ass a lot on normal mode but I've been dying once on a stage sometimes and 1 shotting bosses. Then again I'm only just beat Youmu. Meiling's ability makes these boss fights really easy

>>6722302
For the first game Flandre's extra stage was added with a 1.03 patch or something, so hope for something similar.

ok just finished the game.
i think i might have missed some plot, please help fill in:

story spoilers:
So in the end it was Remilia again. Yukari explains that Rumilia turned 'evil' because she absorbed all the phamtom energy that the Saigyou Ayakashi (Yuyuko's Youkai Tree) collected. That's all I got from the dialogues. So everyone including the Yakumos and Yuyuko was just here either because they are nosey or come to have some cheap fun.
I might have missed something, but that didn't explain:
1. Why is the tree there in the first place instead of in Yuyuko's garden?
2. Why did Remilia absorb its power?
3. After she did, why did she turn evil and start the whole castlevania all over again?

I know what everyone was doing there, but can someone explain the grand plot?

Why does Flan look the same but Remillia got taller between games? Granted you can only tell in the character art but still

Can you change the key config? The position of the jump and attack buttons is really awkward.

>>6724717

Only when using a pad. They used the same retarded controls for the first game, too.

>>6724664
The whole plot:
Ｌ　Ｉ　Ｔ　Ｔ　Ｌ　Ｅ　　Ｇ　Ｉ　Ｒ　Ｌ　Ｓ　！　！　！

>>6724664

So no one could tell me the plot?

Won't play this till translated...

I guess this means 6-10 months....

>>6724438
>>6724611
Just google the damn thing
It's the first link

>>6725054
I was able to understand most of the dialog with my weaboo level of japanese. I'm glad that is dubbed...

>>6725111
Why don't you help that poor anon then

What a timing started to play sotn for first time ever and then this comes out

Anyone else having this problem?
Sometimes the stats disappears, wish is annoying

I tried windowed and fullscreen, and with v-sync on and off

>>6725111
oh?

as a measly 10 year vet, i should be able to understand some of it then

That opening song, that Sakuya's voice, that solid gameplay. This game is awesome.

>>6725979
I forgot to mention that this game's soundtrack is as good if not better than it's prequel, warmly waiting/hoping for an OST upload.

>>6726010

>>6719849
?

>>6726037
That was pretty stupid of me. Thanks for redirecting, I overlooked it myself.

>>6726037
I think he meant and official release, like the first one.

>Marisa insta-kill sparks

>>6726143
>Master Spark does no damage in version 1.00

Gameplay is exceptional, like what I'd hope a new
Castlevania game would be (not a RPG style Metroidvania). Boss spellcard patterns almost feel like I'm playing a shmup. Stages feels like classic platforming Castlevania.

Voices are probably the most stand out part of the game, and more than half of them fit well.

Controls without a pad are even more godawful than the original because of a higher necessity for precise movements and the slide being a backstep.

The art is probably my favorite stuff out of Banpai Akira, and that's saying something. Remilia in particular has a fantastic portrait.

As for difficulty, it's even harder than KD1, but less cheap (at least once I started using a pad and got the controls down). Only a couple cases of enemies getting bullshit hits in due to camera positioning, and the boss patterns are a lot more fun. Also, I played through KD1 before the hitbox fixing patch, so it's nice to actually be able to dodge shit.

Asking this because I did the Yuyuko battle without being hit the first time on normal, but...

Is that red butterfly that floats around an instant kill? Because I avoided it like the plague.

>>6726458

Yup. Though when I got hit by it, I was already below half health, so it could just do a metric asston of damage.

>>6726458
A fun way to show how Yuyuko's power to cause death looks like.

If they make a third game, logic dictates it'll follow the IN storyline. Then Castlevania logic adds Remilia as the final boss.

So, does she eat Mokou's liver or something?

>>6726458
It drains health EXTREMELY FAST without making you flinch, so if you stand in it for longer than a full second you're pretty much dead. Jumping through it is enough to rape your health bar.

Most of the butterfly attacks act this way. I had that circular bomb looking attack activate dead center on me. Instant kill from full health.

I can honestly say this game met my expectations exactly. Great art, great music, great voice work, difficult but not cheap, and short but sweet.

I don't know what they changed from the trial, but bosses are a LOT more fair. Chen kept raping me even on normal, but she barely touched me in this, and in fact I didn't die against any boss until Marisa, who is a huge (lovable) bitch. Instant kill master spark and spamming illusion lasers for 20 seconds? Oh you.

Overall the only bosses I would say were remotely difficult were Marisa, Reimu, and Remilia's final form. Yukari was a pushover and I didn't even get hit by her the first time (kept accidently killing Ran as soon as she was summoned, even).

The thing that made Remilia difficult for me is that I was thinking in terms of the good end / bad end tradition of Castlevania. I noticed I could hit her individual parts, so I thought maybe if I destroyed her wing/arm throne instead of her I would get a good end, and if I depleted her health bar before then it would perma-kill Remilia for a bad end. Kind of like the Richter battle in SoTN. That and you really have to remember where the lasers go.

>>6726518

An undead vampire having eternal life? I think she would just die.

>>6726518

No, she just steals the moon so she's at full power all the time or something.

>>6726518
Poor Remilia.

If they ever make a 5 or 6 or whatever with UFO, Is Byakuren going to possess Remilia and make her do shit (AGAIN)?

Calling Youmu as the protagonist of the third game. Fund it?

>>6726587
oh god yes

>>6726537
You too, huh? I figured that as well, and refused to finish off Remilia until I destroyed all those extra parts.

...Then I found out it has no effect on the ending. Whee.

>>6726587

It's the only time she'd get to be the protagonist, and her playstyle would be unique. So maybe.

Though at this rate, Marisa never gets to be the lead.

>>6726627
If they don't do one on PoFV, she's more than capable of protagging a game based on MoF or SA.

why are their eyes so white?

There s many links in this thread, can someone repost the one to the complete game+patch please? thanks.

>>6726612

I'm glad I'm not alone on that. Though to me it didn't feel like a waste, because it feels more like I completely and utterly dominated her. Its like "Hey check this out, I have you so beat that I can actually waste a few minutes giving you free shots while I just hack away at your throne"

Can't be good for a vampire's self esteem when your maid wipes the floor with you a full power. I hope she isn't traumatized.

>>6726661
Many thanks.

On the first one I managed to reach Flan with 18 lives on normal... and passed the first patron once. ONLY ONCE, HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU KILL HER?!

Now, to play this one.

the links are on the other C79 threads

can someone tell me what this patch is for.

>>6726878
It's to make Marisa's Master Spark deal damage.

>>6726919
thank you

>>6725320
I have that problem too.

Maybe it's because my notebook shit?
Don't know, I can't seem to solve it...

I miss Suika. She would've made a great partner in this. ;_;

the game seems to freeze every time a dialogue scene is about to pop up. im already using applocale and if i skip those scenes the game runs fine. can someone help?

i want to have sex with meiling's voice.

her portrait is a little off though. the lack of foreshortening in her arm makes it look stubby.

i am also really, really bad at dodging boss attacks. too bad my pride is keeping me from playing on EASY MODO

>i want to have sex with meiling's voice.
At least one person understands.

Remilia

is fucking hard. Even on easy mode I raged a couple times.

Yes, Meiling is love in this game. She needs her own title.

is it possible to play without pad?

>>6727769
Yes you can, Miss Sakuya.

>>6727769
Very funny.

>>6727769
yes. standard arrow keys + zxcv that every doujin game uses.

And it isn't nearly as bad without a pad as people say it is. I got through just fine without one. Switching sub-items was sort of a bitch though, but really, there aren't many times where you even want to switch. I personally went through 90% of the game with the stopwatch selected because its just so rape. Actually thinking of playing without it because it makes stages way too easy.

>>6727463
help bump

>>6727769

>>6727746
She has one: Chinese Girl ~ Hong Meiling.

I'd like to try this game, does it require a faster machine than minecraft?

>>6727942
minecraft is not a machine

So, you can throw knives, right?
Why can't I? Is there something I'm missing?
I've tried it on both the pad and the keyboard. Pressing C does nothing, as does pressing Z while holding down C, holding down C, holding down Z and C, and any number of combinations.
I've also considered the possibility that C switches weapons, and tried pressing C, then Z, repeatedly, and I kept using the regular Knife stab/slash.
Could someone tell me why I'm so fucking retarded?

>>6727942

I'm on a piece of shit $300 Toshiba laptop and it runs without any issues whatsoever. In comparison, I have to play minecraft on tiny viewdistance and "simple" graphics. Take that for what you will

Does your name start with C and end with irno?

>>6727954

You have to select the knives using the V key (or whatever the switch button is on your pad). Then C will throw. This uses up soul points, so that might be the issue.

>>6727769

Can you play it without a pad? Yes.

Would I suggest it? No.

Standard control scheme is unchangeable and more awkward than a /jp/ poster at a college party.

Chen on hard confirmed for HORSESHIT.

Also, this.

Played the whole game on normal until final boss. Had to turn it to easy modo for that last god damn form. Lasers everywhere

Meiling is definatly a boss killer
Flandre is a everything else killer

>>6728140

At least Remilia's laser patterns are pretty.

>>6728159

Too bad you get Flan so late into the game.

>>6728167
I wonder if the extra boss will be Yukari. Personally, I don't want her to be

I wonder who the extra boss will be. Hopefully not Yukari. Maybe toss in Tenshi or have Reimu/Marisa combo

>>6728222

Its everyone attacking you at the same time. Including a doppelganger Sakuya.

>>6728222

What? Fuck you. Yukari is the best extra stage boss and would definitely surpass Flandre in every way and fashion imaginable.

>>6728382

How about Mokou? Then we'd get an awesome extra stage battle and get to see how the artist would interpret her. Win win situation.

Does the full version still requires a decent computer?
My machine wept at the minimum specs for the demo, and even though I doubt they've changed I felt that I should ask anyway.

>>6728404

No, Yukari's main fight was too easy. I'm not even that huge of a Yukari fanboy and I know she must be redeemed as the EX boss.

There must be more rape-eyes.

The difference between Easy modo and Normal is barely noticeable, but the step up to hard is absolutely retarded. Yes, double the amount of bullets on everything and make attacks that didn't shoot bullets do so now. Go ahead and give everything 1.5x more health. Add enemies in places that are downright unfair and designed to knock you onto spikes 100% of the time. And while you're at it, add in some bullet types that chunk off 1/3 of my health. Sounds totally fair.

It took me a full 10 lives just to get past the first two stages.

>>6728420

As I said earlier, I have an absolute piece of shit $300 /laptop/ and it runs perfectly.

If you can't run it, I would recommend upgrading, because its a miracle you can run anything at all, and you're probably missing out anyway. Also, you're going to be downloading it anyway, so you might as well just download and try. Not like you're loosing anything.

>>6728443

Easy just makes attacks hurt you less. Hard changes the game entirely.

Also, there's something in it for you if you beat the game on hard. Something about a Phantasm stage in an upcoming patch.

no full version of Afraid yet?

Final boss should be Sanae
She will also be the star of game 3

It would be REALLY nice, if this fucker supported AGTH. So it didn't take for fucking ever to find weird ass kanji in words like 香霖堂 (middle, i know know everything involving 2 trees is りん for the most part, but the fucking FONT is so hard to read i couldn't even see the goddamn rain radical. Fucking dicks man.)

Also, Easy + 20 lives ftw. Voice acting, art and gameplay are fantastic imo.

Dynamic da ze

>>6720668
yeah its been about a day, but what did you use to rip the .dat files? if i can get at the scripts should be easy enough to make an english patch

So what are the predictions on Koumajou Densetsu 3? Main character and bosses and whatnot? It looks like this one was PCB themed so IN is probably next.

They skipped non relevant bosses and whatnot like Rumia and Letty. So we probably won't be expecting either Mystia or Wriggle to make it in, but who knows. Since it can't be Castlevania without a vampire, Remilia is still probably going to be the final boss. Either that or she'll be the next main character. Since she was a playable character in IN. Actually maybe switchable characters will be introduced in Touhouvania 3.

The most likely prospects for main charater is either teams, Remilia, or even possibly Marisa since she's a magician style character which has also been a type of main character in the Castlevania series.

And maybe, Lunarians will be involved. And quite possibly the final stage is on the moon or something with inspiration from SSiB where you fight through legions of moonrabbits to take on the Lunar Princesses. And this time actually win maybe instead of what happened in SSiB.

when will the game be in a language I can read

>>6730104
niemals

>>6730096
I'm imagining something like Castlevania III with branching paths and proper switchable characters.

>>6730096
Actually, Rumia was the extra stage midboss for Flandre.

Since they always pull in a few characters from later games, what post-IN characters do you think might appear? I call Shameimaru.

>>6730096

The earlier conclusions reached had Youmu as the protagonist, since IN is the only time she can be. And because of twin swords and her speed a game with her playstyle is too good to pass up. That or teams, but that's a ton of work (hence why ZUN is now staying away from non-Phantasmagoria large cast games).

Remilia will be the final boss again, she'll probably be empowered by the moon and go nuts again.

>>6730192
I find Youmu's prospects at being the protagonist not that high. For one I can't imagine her gameplay being that Castlevaniaish.

If she slashes like she has the crissaegrim, yasutsuna, or valmanway and has a super speed up type movement then she'll be castlevanish, but then that's late game metroid styled Castlevania while Koumajou Densetsu has been sticking with earlier arcade type Castlevania. However if the next one is Metroidvania then I would be absolutely completely fine with Youmu being the main character.

How do you imagine Youmu would play and what Castlevania aspects would she have? I could imagine her using the katana style from Castlevania games which feature lots of canceling for quick hits. Maybe it's possible to obtain more swords and you can choose two to equip at the beginning of each stage since she dualwields.

Well I'm thinking about this too much. Koumajou Densetsu 2 was only releasaed like yesterday so it will be quite some time before number 3.

Oh god Ran's laugh

>>6730352
But if Metroidvania Touhou is ever possible for the 3rd game, the the possibilities for me is that Reimu and Marisa goes CHARLOTTE JONATHAN CHARLOTTE JONATHAN.

Or we already saw how Alucard Sakuya is, just make her quite similar to him, exchangeable knives as to swords, Maybe some spells that use combination moves etc

>>6730526
>>6730352
Oh and if it's Youmu, maybe she can absorb souls like Soma. But Youmu never did that so maybe not

>>6724664
Hi all, I'm the anon how asked about the story.
Does no one know the answers to my question?
How about you Hong Meiling 門門 !!4kI2ajBUI8D?
You know Japanese, and completed the game.

So no one else knows Japanese, completed the game and could answer the plot question?

I'm not ranting, just curious.

>>6730541
>>6730541
Frankly soul steal is stealing so either Marisa or Satori would be best for it, but Satori is quite a few games away so she's rather unlikely.

>>6730584
The plot is just a retelling of PCB with major adjustment. Like it involves Remilia obtaining the power beyond all living thing or sorta

But when Sakuya asks them in the end what was their motive in the end, Nobody cares, cause they have a fun time at the flower viewing at the ending. EVERY SINGLE TOUHOU GAME EVER

>>6730591
The only one who could get a soul steal ability is Yuyuko herself. And maybe Komachi.

>>6730612
I got the part where Sakuya asked for the motives, and Remilia told her to shutup.
That's why I asked my questions.

What we already know:
Pretty much everyone else were just there for fun, shit and giggles, and be nosey.

I'm still looking for people who "think" they might know the answers to:
1. Why is the tree there in the first place instead of in Yuyuko's garden?
2. Why did Remilia absorb its power?
3. After she did, why did she turn evil and start the whole castlevania all over again?
4. What did she wanted to achieve

>>6730637
Yuyuko just invokes death though. She doesn't take your soul.

>>6730643
I know Yukari was there for some major Sakuya trolling. She made Sakuya think she was behind everything, kidnapped Remilia, and employed Reimu to be one of the bosses.
But then it turned out she was just there pretty much for a fun ride and see how the fuck Remilia's mess would turn out. And then she thought it was funny to troll Sakuya.
And of course Ran and Chen had to play along with her plans.

>1. Why is the tree there in the first place instead of in Yuyuko's garden?

For some reason, Scarlet Devil Castle appeared at Yuyuko's place. No reason why though, But if you look at it, Saigyou Ayakashi actually blooms (On contrast of PCB, it does not bloom yet (Even in the last spellcard, you can see the tree without any leafs and flowers), so SDC may appear when big things like that happened

>2. Why did Remilia absorb its power?
>3. After she did, why did she turn evil and start the whole castlevania all over again?

For some reason this is hinted in the omake, she's bored. I dunno if people can eat this reasoning, but this is Touhou, reasons are not important

>4. What did she wanted to achieve

Again, she's bored and wanted power. Yukari might just be on the role to actually help playing around with her

>>6730687
>For some reason, Scarlet Devil Castle appeared at Yuyuko's place. No reason why though,

You other answers about Remilia simply being bored and wanted to fuck things up a bit, actually........... still make some sense.
But about the above is just forced.

>>6730591
If you change stealing souls to gain abilities to just mimicking enemies abilities, Marisa actually would fill that role fine, since she does that anyway.

>>6730706
Well, Maybe it was materialized on Remilia's will or again i mention, It materialized itself when shit's happened (Blooming of Saigyou Ayakashi is dangerous btw)

But who knows, Maybe the EX Stage will reveal everything. Heck even English text wasn't in this game, so let's just wait if they actually make EX Stage

Who sings the opening song of this game?

A...ali...alib..

>>6730759
She looked stupid when she did that. I think she stutters because she has no friends to practice having conversations to.

I think the touhou grand prix's voices fit the characters even more.

>>6730812
In some sense, yes. But there are some that i think fitted best compare to the rest. Like Youmu, This is the exact voice i imaged her rather than most people like to use squeaky moe voice as her default voice

>>6730822
exactly same with sakuya. A lot of people don't think those voices fit but I thought they showed youmu and sakuya to be a lot more intense than they are usually portrayed. It just sounded a lot like they were really pissed off and in the situation I think that is much more fitting.

Never played a Castlevania game before. Game Overed at Chen. I like how they're trying to mix platforming and Danmaku with these boss battles, but it just doesn't feel right. Or well, I can't move very easily to dodge the bullets. For me, I'm finding that keeping distance and throwing knives is best.

Oh well, I shall persist.

How to beat Chen in hard mode?

I've been abusing the backstep's invincibility frames to go through bullets but it's only a matter of time before I die. I can't seem to find any openings.

Currently at Hard mode Yuyuko. The main difference from her Normal version are the blue bullets that keep you from hitting her when you usually have an opening. This will probably end up to be a Patchy-shoot-in-the-dark.

I thought Yukari's voice and speaking style was fucking perfect. Can't get any better.

Damn fish men jumping up during the boat part of Stage 3. It's hard to dodge them on such a tiny boat. Komachi needs a raise.

>>6731102

more like her boss should give her better materials

>>6730998
Frankly I spammed Flandre to beat Yuyuko. I haven't beaten the final boss yet. Getting past Remilia a bit difficult, but i think I can pull it off without having to use Flandre. Yukari is the easiest boss I've fought so far. Ex Remilia however is a clusterfuck. My current plan is to spend the most of 20 lives farming the candles in the final boss room then beating Yukari, die once to get back to full health then spam Flandre as much as I can. Cheap, but I think it will work.

>>6731002
Endou Aya is a fantastic voice actress. I love her work.

Just curious, is anyone actually 1CC'ing this? I'm finding myself just going at it one stage at a time.

>>6731274
I will once i finish Hard, or get bored from dying so much.

>>6731274
only done normal mode but I've 1cc every stage except for 8. First Remilia and Yukari can't even touch me but the final Remilia is just s huge step in difficulty. I had to switch to easy modo just for that stage after I game overed about 10 times without even getting her down to half health

Frontier Aja confirmed for retarded fucking Remilia fanboys.

>>6731445
Let me guess

you wanted Yakumo final boss?

>>6731456

What? No. Yakumo is Phantasm. I wanted a goddamn Yuyucow final boss you lawful fuck.

>>6731445
Frontier Aja confirmed for still more awesome.

tomorrow I'll play the fucking game I swear.

>>6731431
but final remi is also easy

I played the game this morning and was pleasantly surprised with how the game turned out. I didn't hate the first game, but I liked this much more.
Any boss after Reimu gets hit with a healthy dose of yin-yang spam, just so I can hear her "hai hai"s. Fuck, I love Reimu.

My god, this game is SO much better than the first one.

What's the best way to deal with those green and white skeletons who lunge at you?

>>6731860
I don't really have problems, I just hit once (likely in the air) and quickly move out, if you're having trouble then do down+jump.

>>6731860
Most of them throughout the game can be avoided. If need be you can dance on their heads with heel kicks, Alice works too.
I standby that the most pain-in-the-ass enemy is the werewolf. Fuck those things.


Anyways, picture related. Hard mode complete, albeit very painfully. Would likely not be able to 1cc. I'm going to start a Normal 1cc tomorrow.

>>6731860
Also, I'm assuming you're talking about the green ones with the halberds. If you're talking about the lunging white skeletons that burn up after you kill them, it's just a simple Jump-Attack-Attack meeting it in the air.

Wow. The stage after Reimu is a huge jump in difficulty. I guess that's the payment for Reimu being so easy.

>>6731860

Stop Watch. It is the answer to pretty much any problem you are having with stage enemies.

>>6732037
Difficulty spike, but there's health items all over the fucking place in that stage and Ran is piss-easy.

Also, has anybody else noticed that the enemy active range (or whatever you call it) is just a little bit off. You can inch up to a ton of the sword type enemies and slash them to death from the edge of your range and they won't even notice you.

Put simply:Youmu is best

>>6732037
I can barely touch Reimu in hard mode, dammit I thought the spike in difficulty wouldn't be so overwhelming.

Also Marisa's illusion lasers have a safespot, on the right side of the room, crouch on top of the ladder, unless she's an inch away from you.

god dammit hong, i thought you said she was hard

(lol first attempt)

>>6734572
I meant her personality in this. Yuyuko and the final form of Remi are the only ones that gave me trouble on Normal.

too short and easy.

>>6734572
Youmu was one of the hardest for me. It took me a while to figure out how to dodge her strong move where she slashes across the screen a couple times.

Alright. I just got to Remilia, and I'm stumped about how to avoid one of the attacks in her second form. It's one where all of these laser tracers are all spun around the room followed by the actual lasers. There's seemingly nowhere to hide from that.

>>6737843
you could copy this strategy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZQHCxcFA3A

but I prefer to dodge the first batch of lasers ducking, that way I can economize pad power. (pic related)

I installed the game in Windows XP, but it crashes after Aja's logo. Then I tried running the game in Windows 7 (dual boot) and it worked without any problems.

Seems like the opening video makes it crash on XP for some reason. I can't skip it either.

>>6734723
you aren't playing on hard then, you classless heathen.

>>6741652
I will play it again, eventually.

Problem, Sakuya?

>>6741671
trust me, if you aren't playing on hard then you are wasting your time. There is such a gigantic chasm in boss difficulty between hard and normal; the only way to advance is to master flying ability and completely familiarize your hit radius while flying. If you play on anything of a lesser challenge then a lot of the gameplay mechanics and design falls by the wayside. The only things in the game that seem to be under-utilized are the daggers and clock which is a symbolic shame and as a Sakuya-fan its a BIG disappointment. I mean I like that their loose-requirement is on the subtle side I just feel they should have added more encouragement towards Sakuya's defining characteristics in order to better distinguish the game and harmonize it with it's main protagonist. Maybe that'll change in later levels on hard but as for now they seem very inconsequential to everything but the score so unless a high score on hard unlocks anything (playable China PLEASE!) I don't see the ultimate purpose; however, flying and dagger throwing is convenient at times.

>>6742089
you convinced me, replaying!

>>6742089
with how cheap the daggers are I would have loved to see an ability to radially/angularly throw them (like with holding the item-button + holding/tapping up or down) and have them bounce on walls and ceilings. The coolest thing in the game -- freeze time, down-jump and attack which lets you freeze sets of daggers in midair and then release them once time becomes unfrozen -- has no place in the game at all!!!

WHY, WHY!?! I WANT TO DANMAKU KNIVE ATTACK THAT BOUNCY MOTHER FUCKING CHEN!!

>>6742116
cool! I definitely felt bored on normal during the demo which I played over and over again quite a bit.

>>6742168
right now I'm playing against youmoe and she's slapping my shit, so I'll play later, when the Chen-induced frustration levels decrease.

>>6741948
I dunno why but I think these girls are Medicine!

I only get an error..
"has encountered a problem and needs to close"

dunno why -_-'

Take that, game. Stupid hard modo.

>>6743989
>-_-'
Stop that.

Hm, there's bonus scenes for clearing the game. Shame I have absolutely no idea what they're saying.

today anonymous learned that danmaku in a platformer is bullshit

ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

>>6744894
Sakuya's hitbox feels wonky. On the air it kind of feels like how my intuition would guess it is. But on the ground it's large as all hell.
