How would you rank each Touhou title in terms of difficulty?

There seems to be some differing opinions, I've heard before that Mountain of Faith was considered easier and a good starting one, but another anon said he was stuck on it having 1CC'd all the previous titles.

I actually find Mountain of Faith very difficult as it has some of the more awkward and densely packed Bullet patterns - comparing it to PCB there was no contest. I also couldn't beat Aya's level.

Subterranean Animism is probably the hardest though, unless you count Shoot the Bullet which IMO was a bit lazily designed even if it was a great concept.

I've never really sat down and focused on beating a Touhou though, the only one I've actualyl 1CC Normal'd is Phantasmagoria of Flower View. I'm out of practice now, so I'm thinking of going back again and maybe trying to beat the easiest one first?

UFO + SA: Hardist
POFV + PCB: Easiest

Depends on the difficulty. For example, MoF is piss easy on Normal but actually challenging on Lunatic.

But, because you didn't specify this detail, this thread will now turn into an everybody-post-nobody-read shitstorm

I still found MoF more difficult than the first 3(and PoFV) on Normal by quite a bit.

I imagine the difficulties do scale differently depending on the title though.

You can beat MoF with bombs and bombs and bombs non stop yet some spellcards are though if you want to capture them.

Abusing Mechanics:
Easier
MoF (look for mountain of bomb replays)
PCB and POFV
IN (Lol last spell)
UFO (Full lives 4 bombs stage 3)
The rest, I don't include SA because you can still bomb like crazy but the spellcards and low extra livess.

Through capturing spellcards
Hardest
SA-UFO
EoSD
MoF
IN
PCB
TD
PoFV

Yeah, that's my point, you can't formulate an opinion about this matter until you play all of them in all difficulties.

This is something I haven't done yet, the example I gave is something I know from trusted sources

I always try not to use bombs unless I need to - doesn't it fuck you over in the long run as you get less score and therefore less 1ups?

>> No.8382343

>>8382321
The only score dependant is EoSD and usually you have all them in stage 6, the only game where you miss lots of extra lifes is in SA and that's what makes the game so hard.

What about MoF?

>> No.8382359

>>8382351
Oh yes forgot that and the PC-98 but PoDD

>> No.8382369

>>8382276

On normal I'd rank them:

SA
IN
MoF
EoSD
PCB

I've not played UFO or TD much, so I can't speak about them. I heard TD is fairly easy on normal difficulties, is this true?

>> No.8382406

>>8382276
I'd also add a ranking for how much can be defeated through tricks. SA Extra is disgracefully bad in this respect.

>>8382323
Delicious.
