>>9077871
I don't like it.

I play on easy mode

After following through anon's suggestion of bombing more often, I've managed to get my first 1CC on SA. http://www.mediafire.com/?ktbl28spbcpd357 (I think this is the right replay)

http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=21470

Prior to this I have never even made it past green UFOs...How the hell I pulled this off I will never know. Still in shock. Fucking the survival scared the fuck out of me I had no idea what the pattern was

>>9077853
genuinely surprised.

touhou 13 is the worst touhou

>>9078096
I liked it. it's stage 4 is one of my favorite stage 4s.

Just 1CC'D a touhou game for the first time (IN), I'm no longer a filthy secondary!
Does it always feel this good?

Trying to beat mugetsu but shit goes crazy, i dont want to know what the fuck is gengetsu

>>9078125
Yes, and it feels better and better when the things you accomplish get harder and harder.

I haven't seen past stage 3 in SA ever since I started playing it 5 months ago because I always play on Hard since I subconsciously don't try when playing on any easier difficulty.

>>9078125
No. After some time it'll become ridiculously repetitive and boring.

>>9078146
> I always play on Hard since I subconsciously don't try when playing on any easier difficulty
> I started playing it 5 months ago
> I haven't seen past stage 3
You are still not trying, man.

>>9078139
I noticed on some of the later patterns they seemed to vary between, fairly easy with little dodging and others being giant waves of bullets flying across the screen. Like most of Reisen's and Eirin's patterns felt pretty easy since you could just move into the next gap every few seconds where as against marisa she would throw huge fast moving waves I could barely dodge. Master spark and those lasers ate up a ton of lives for me. Does the spellcard difficulty become more consistent as I move up?

>>9078125

It only gets better if you can take enjoyment from slowly improving at something through many hours of play.

>>9078125
Quit now. Don't end up like me where you 1cc a game and then spend months trying to do harder things, only to realize you aren't born to do it.

>>9078216
I want to at least beat all the games on normal, including extras.
That is my main goal.

>>9078239
>including extras
Don't end up like me you fool. It isn't your destiny.

>>9078267
It's not like I have anything better to do.

>>9078239
Sucks for you. While Lunatic typically remains par for the course (sort of), the difference between Normal modes for each game are stupidly huge.

>>9078267
I'm doing pretty well at that goal. Just beat Nue. I've now 1ccd every game cept SA and Touhou 1(which I never will) and beaten Flan, Ran/Yukari, Mokou, Suwako, and Nue.

>>9078281
I thought so too. It wasn't until weeks upon weeks went by that I realized I could have been wasting time improving in any other game. The gods have given some men the ability to 2hu. You and I are likely not these men!

>>9078284
Well obviously I'll start from the easiest and move up to the hardest. If I want to keep going after that I'll start back at the beginning on hard.

>>9078174
Sorry for not being naturally talented at this.

>>9078305
well that's the thing, I don't have many other games to play.
RTS is just a mystery to me, I couldn't even figure out how to start a game in hearts of iron and europa universalis. I don't own any modern consoles and I don't find puzzles all that fun. All that's left are shmups and fps, and I've already played STALKER and TF2 for god knows how long.

>>9078336
Perhaps... Perhaps you can do it. Your stars are not mine. I was given the ability to see into mine own future. The conquering of any Extra stage or Lunatic stage is not in my grasp. I am as well blessed to see the hour of my demise, which is in my reluctance to accept my fate -- I will die at my keyboard by the hands of Touhou.

You may try, but consider: do you want to risk sharing my fate?

>>9078380
You sound like a tremendous faggot.

Who do you use on EoSD?

>>9078449
You are going to need to be a little more specific than that.

>>9078449

I switch between Marisa B and Reimu B.

>>9078449
Sanae C

>>9078449

everyone
homing reimu on lunatic is fun for a change

>>9078449
Use ReimuA for the easiest Patchouli.

>>9075720
Now that you're home, remember to do a PCB Extra SakuyaA whenever you have time, T.

Hooray, got the PCB easy 1cc.

Oh lawdy I suck.

Why is Touhou such an unfun shmup? The sound effects have no punch, there are no power-ups, your performance has no effect on the game, it makes you memorize a book instead of pushing you to play faster and better until you pass out.

What redeeming qualities does it have?

>>9079028
It's pretty, calm and has nice music.

>>9078717

I can't beat any of them on easy. Is it easier with a controller?

>>9079129

My controller doesn't work with the touhous for some reason (constantly scrolls to the side) so I just use keyboard. It is better for the gunner ship in Jamestown, but that's pretty different.

>>9079028
>The sound effects have no punch.
graze.sfw
>There are no power-ups
you collect power items to improve and you have different shot types, what do you want a RGP/STG or something?
>your performance has no effect on the game
Score first of all, second different stages on some games, third endings.
>it makes you memorize a book instead of pushing you to play faster and better until you pass out.
It's imo one of the less memorizing STGs comparing it to Cave STGs.

>>9079129
The game is designed for Keyboard, getting a good keyboard can help or an Arcade stick if you know how to use it.

>>9079028
>The sound effects have no punch

I'm not okay with this. Personally, I find the sound effects to be the best part of touhou. The low hum when you hit an enemy, the grazing sound, the casting sound, the spell break sound and the death sound are good ways to show the player what is happening.

Since everything in the games is made by the same person, I get the feeling that the music, the graphics and gameplay are connected in a better way than most games. This includes the sound effects, though I can recognize some strange stuff in the earlier games (such as the casting sound in PCB).

Okay /jp/, what should I expect to see against Koishi? How hard is she? Is she as "easy" as Mamizou, Flandre, etc.? Or is she on a higher level than that?

>>9079893
Prepare for your mind to be warped and twisted without even realizing it.

Just kidding, but I read on the wiki that her danmaku really is supposed to fuck with your mind by suddenly changing patterns

>>9079905
wow, what utter garbage have you been reading.
>>9079893
you probably won't get to her for about an hour, but it's honestly not as bad as some would say considering you got a lot of lives, just in small pieces the further you get stuck in.

>>9079956
Well I can see where the guy who wrote it is coming from, Danmaku Paranoia is made to make you paranoid, and that guy was probally referring to her 2nd nonspellcard

>>9079905
That sounds like wikia crap.
>>9079893
Her spellcards are gimmicky and need practice, though once you do this, she is one of the easiest extra bosses to perfect.

>>9080250
>That sounds like wikia crap.
You are probally right, I can't even remember anymore where I read that.

>>9080288
Please refrain form visitng wikia and go to www.touhouwiki.net instead

Here's a recollection of yesterday's live show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz0Gp8LJB2w
I sound so silly.
>>9079893
I find her to be the hardest Extra stage by far.

First run on SA, so I guess I couldn't expect much. Almost reached fourth stage, but since I wasn't used to that huge quantity of bullets, I was pretty shitty. Would be pretty good to see a few suggestions. http://www.mediafire.com/?kke86vgvtcj321h . I'll be trying Koishi later when I feel like memorizing the patterns of the extra stage.

Recently bought the gundemonium collection off steam. It has been the best ten dollars I have ever spent on anything but drugs.

>>9081311
Use gensokyo.org to upload your replays please.

>>9081312
Where is the hitbox?

>>9081315
Eh, allright, it's just that it takes only a couple of seconds to upload from mediafire, but I see your logic.

>>9081318
Around there.

>>9081311
*first run on Hard SA

Apparently Namiki isn't a memeber of basiscape anymore.

Anyone know how to get the d3dx9_40.dll file needed to play UFO?

Apparently, DLing it from some sites is a bad idea.

>>9082391
Do it anyway. It's easier and lazier than getting your DirectX fully updated and set up correctly.

>>9081336
guess they got tired of his washed up ass and gave him the boot

PoFV seems so unfair. I can 1cc most of the other games on normal without much trouble, but I had to use 2 continues to finish this. Komachi and Shikieiki just refuse to die and spam attacks constantly.

I was using useless bunny but all the shots feel really similar to me.

>>9082464
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGZ1NG--kUc&feature=player_detailpage#t=962s
I'm not quite sure if it works the same way on lower difficulties or even other characters, but I'm pretty sure that it is impossible to defeat Shieiki with one life. I tried a lot, and I've never heard of anyone doing it before.

>>9082464
I've done it, but only with Aya or Medicine. Impossible for me with anyone else.

Welp just 1ccd SA for the first time by just bombing absolutely everything (used aya) That was certainly unfulfilling as my last touhou game to 1cc. Only have all the pc98 extras and mamizou and koishi left for EX bosses too.

Whats the best char/shot type for SA extra? I'll 1cc with it.

>>9082999
>Whats the best char/shot type for SA extra? I'll 1cc with it.
Whichever you are most comfortable with. Also, you can't '1cc' an extra stage, because you get no continues. I think there's a reference to that on one of Flandre's dialogues.

>>9083381
......
I meant 1cc the game so I could use that shot type in the extra stage...that shouldn't have been that hard to grasp.

>>9083500

Reimu A breaks the stage bit of SA's extra, I'd go with that if you want it to be easy.

http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=21492
No-Bomb SanaeB run. Only MarisaA remains. It should be easy. After that, I'll get back to NBNUFO.

>>9083602
Stream more?

>>9083681
I'm not in the mood for streaming, and I'm getting ready to go to sleep. I'll put one out tomorrow.

>>9081315
Get out of here please.

Finally captured this fucking card. Many times i've reached 100% on last photo and failed to shoot. Many times i wished i was playing Hatate.

>>9084181
This was the card that took me the most tries from both DS and StB.

>>9085413
To be honest I don't see the point in playing any game that isn't Crimzon Clover for score.

>>9083895
The hell?

>>9085470
So much scoring!!!!!!!

Going to keep practicing on PCB lunatic today, should be fun.

>>9073402
http://pastebin.com/WQBAFFM9

>All of these tourneyfags

Anyways, what's a good rate to practice at a game? Because I've been trying to get past stage 3 of EoSD on hard for quite a few months now, but I find myself getting worse on each run if I try to practice for an extended period. What do you suggest? One hour breaks?

Also, does /jp/ have a list of STGs they love?

>>9086289
When I feel like it I play for more than 5 hours nonstop, and sometimes I keep getting worse and worse. But in the end, I magically do something incredible. But I don't really recommend going obsessive. You should try playing some other game when you're too stressed, or listen to some music. Maybe a 1 hour break or something like that. Or you can follow the hard route and play until you rage, and then play again and again, and suddenly you'll find yourself doing something that you never thought you could. At least this works for me.

>>9086289
If you can't even get past stage three that is really pathetic, move to normal.

>>9086421
Eh, in my first run, I've reached stage 4. I think if I try hard enough, I can reach stage 6. I think you should move to Normal, and try to 1CC it. Watch some replays too, analyze how the players go, etc.

>>9086421
Piss off. This isn't fucking esports.

I decided to try EoSD hard since it was mentioned.

I got to Remilia on my second attempt, so I decided to just use a continue and finish it so I have stage 6 practice available. Scarlet Meister is such a pain in the ass, everything before then looks kind of doable. Scarlet Gensokyo was pretty easy until she decided to move out of my shot for a while without me noticing.

I lost a lot of lives on Patchouli and Sakuya though. I don't play ReimuB often so I had no idea what Patchouli was going to throw at me, and I bombed and died a lot. Sakuya is just all kinds of hard. Killing Doll really raped me.

>>9086421
>move to normal
Good advice actually.

I don't know why Shou is giving me so much trouble as MarisaA. It's not even that I can't dodge the patterns, it's that I keep doing something silly. I keep getting to Shou with full lives and I end up barely surviving, and Byakuren isn't much friendlier. If I could do just one decent Shou, I should be able to get to Byakuren with full lives.

Oh well, I should be able to get it soon.

>>9088544
Curvy Lasers your worst Enemy. Always.

>>9088568
On the contrary, I only died once to her curving lasers, and it was because my finger slipped. I'm actually quite fond of curvy lasers. They are my favorite danmaku.

Just got done ordering this online because the XBL marketplace doesn't allow you to buy shit that isn't "available in your region".

>>9085470
that game is way too long; i can't be bothered to start learning it.

bump

>>9089686
Have have you accomplished lately, bump-kun?

>>9088576
How do you solve curved lasers then? Some gimmick, yes?

>>9089891
Don't run into them.

>>9089696
Not much.
>>9089891
By not running into them. There is no gimmick.

http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=21512
6/6 No-Bomb UFO Lunatic runs. This is probably one of my better NB runs, but not quite the best. Actually, all my NB runs suck. NBNUFO is where the real fun is. I managed to miss 6 times on Byakuren, but I still did surprisingly well for the most part. It was Wine that messed me up. I switched to my Loonix because I didn't think I would be playing for the rest of the night(or morning?), but I guess not. I still only have 1/6 NBNUFO runs and 0/6 perfect runs, so I'll start getting to work on that. You have to take one step at a time, you know? This is going to be so hard waaaah. /(;~;)/

What are some good games with loops?

I sometimes hate replaying arcade mode, but if it is really solid and the loop is something different than just "hey, same shit, but again" I can really get obsessive and have some fun.

http://www.livestream.com/cactutouhou
Livestreaming some NBNUFO attempts and other suggestions!

>>9090132
I like your youtube channel cactu.

Don't take this offensively, but you have sort of a calm and somewhat not an in your face voice so I can put on one of your videos in another tab or something and while I'm relaxing or something you can calmy keep my ears busy.

Just played Ten Desires for the first time, because I always see people complaining about it. Why is Marisa so... bad? Granted the game is easy, and she's never really been the best, but her lasers don't even pierce and the sound of her magic missiles is aggravating.

>>9090148
I like her in TD a lot more than I like her in SA. Her lasers don't pierce like in UFO but she still has the highest long-range damage and a very powerful bomb (even though her bomb is pretty useless for collecting spirits because you're so slow).

>>9090116
Tatsujin OH

>>9090164
>like in UFO
But every game where she has lasers has them pierce.

>>9090164
>her bomb is pretty useless for collecting spirits because you're so slow
That's not how you collect spirits.

How do you define "best"?
>but her lasers don't even pierce and the sound of her magic missiles is aggravating
The only game where I remember her having a piercing laser is UFO. Also, I don't mind the noise. Maybe lower sfx and increase music?
>>9090164
>even though her bomb is pretty useless for collecting spirits because you're so slow
Actually, it might be better for collecting spirits because it kills enemies for a longer time. Once the screen is clear, the spirits last for a long time, so you can collect them merrily. I find a lot of things in stage 4 to be an example of this.

>>9090227
>The only game where I remember her having a piercing laser is UFO.
Did you forget about EoSD, PCB and MoF?
Also I think she had then in LLS too but

>>9090227
Don't her lasers pierce in EoSD, PCB, and MoF? They don't stop after touching an enemy, and they're even called "Pierce type".

>>9090246
>>9090249
I guess you are right. For some reason, I only thought about SA and IN. Maybe I'm too tired.

>>9090249
but I dont remember for sure*
I'm sorry.

Hey at least Marisa is not as bad as Sanae in TD.

>>9089925>>9089929
Screw this then. Zun is sick bastard. Where is my easymodo...

>>9090621
Stop complaining about easy curved lasers. Damn it's like you have never played MS.

>>9090623
PC-98 is shit, yes. Played 'em couple of time and will never again.

>>9090432
Well... I think that Sanae is actually a bit better than Marisa. Not sure.

>>9090633
No she isn't. Sanae feels pretty much worthless to me, and I rarely see anyone else use her either, at least not for serious runs.

I accidentally let a ~1.5M enemy fly off the screen at the end of the stage, and I didn't even notice until I watched the replay. ~644M possible with my new route, 645M+ if things are really cleaned up.

>>9092553
I need to stop playing this.

>>9092558

"That's a pretty high score, I wonder how it compares to the top?"
>check touhou wiki

Ah.

Any plans to take back the TD extra records?

>>9092566
>Any plans to take back the TD extra records?
At the moment, not really.

Ichizoku's Marisa score is very strong. I can do the stage portion better, can spot a handful of timing mistakes during Mamizou, and am not so sure his route decisions for the survival spell are optimal. However, his skirt sniffing is so skillful, and I really can't compare. Combine my fixes with his skill, and 610M with Marisa wouldn't be impossible.

The Youmu score is old and there are some unexplored scoring opportunities, but she's so incredibly difficult to use well that I haven't pursued scoring with that shot type much at all. Unlike the main game where the scoring consists of demolishing the stages and shitting on the faces of bosses, scoring in Extra requires very little charge shot, more precision dodging, and unfocused skirt sniffing during spells with Youmu's unwieldy speed. I don't know the current potential with her right now, but it's probably above Marisa's.

Since I've been so fixated on UFO Extra lately, I'm thinking about pursuing MarisaA to reclaim the WR for dot_asp. Pinkdama's score is great, but there is some score to be had. He dropped a lot of items and two entire enemies during the clusterfuck (3-4M worth, at least) and was very, very cautious during Nue (another 2-3M or so). Everything else was pretty strong, though, so it won't be easy.

>>9090661

she's ok at point blank range and her bombs are pretty effective, she also gets a lot of spirits or something.
her focused shot isn't even worth using, ever.

she has the best sprite though.

Streaming for just a bit. Doing NBNUFO.

Is Orin's 'Catwalk' spell on Lunatic static?

>>9095710
That was great. Thank you everyone for coming.
>>9096353
It's not static.

In EoSD I'm trying out the vpatch. In the config file, there is an option for "Vsync". It was at 0 so I set it to 1 -- is that right?

Also, while using the Vpatch, my FPS goes up to 72. I don't want it to go above 60 or I can't save replays. Previously, my game had this config program that let me force the FPS, but it doesn't work when I use the vpatch. What should I do?

>>9097747
In the config file, there is an option for "Vsync". It was at 0 so I set it to 1 -- is that right?
Nope, Set it back to 0.

>>9097747

>In the config file, there is an option for "Vsync". It was at 0 so I set it to 1 -- is that right?
Nope, Set it back to 0.

>>9097777
Oh, thanks. That fixed it.

Do most people use the vpatch? It helped me a little bit, but it feels kind of... cheap. Like, it feels like I'm making the game stutter. It feels dirty.

I still die on Cranberry Trap approximately 5 out of every 6 tries. On Maze of Love I can go around the circle once, but I can never get back in it, and I never do much damage to Flandre unless I just bomb spam it.

I got past Catadioptric for the first time. Had to use every single bomb I had left though. Saw Counter Clock for the first time, or whatever it was. I already know I'll never get through that. It took me months to get here.

>>9097934
Whatever vpatch does, it sets my fps to 60 instead of the 58.5-59.8 I used to have. I think it's a good thing.

>>9097934
Replay please.

>>9098228
Maybe once I'm able to get that far again. Probably won't be for a long time.

oh man. Decided to play PCB extra for the first time ever and was doing amazingly well, I even captured charming dick from all sides for the first ever!!!

Then I die twice to the easy as fuck spinning Buddhist symbol card and lose all my confidence and go into suck mode and barely finish with no lives and 1 bomb

Why the fuck is mamizou so fucking hard? I've done every extra boss cept the pc98s, her, and koishi and I just can't do it, she is so fucking annoying with her fuck you memorize the fuck out of everything or else. Fuck that I don't want to memorize 9000000 precise movements just so I can not get fucked by your nigger dogs and gaytastic nocards that trap you if you fuck it up, cunt.

>>9104743
>she is so fucking annoying with her fuck you memorize the fuck out of everything or else
I would argue that she's one of the least memorization-heavy Extra bosses.

>Fuck that I don't want to memorize 9000000 precise movements just so I can not get fucked by your nigger dogs and gaytastic nocards that trap you if you fuck it up, cunt.
I don't understand. Stream dogs, don't get hit by other shit. Nonspells are incredibly trivial as long as you're looking ahead. Few require precision movement, so stop looking at your hitbox.

>>9104743
Mamizou's a pretty shitty boss all things considered. Beat her and then never play Extra again.

>>9104793
Like I said I'm not a shit player, I've done all other extras except aforementioned. Mamizou is just a shit extra. I do like her theme though.

>Sometimes I just do them wrong and die.
This is what I want to see. I have no idea how you can do them "wrong".

What do people on /jp/ think of Crimzon Clover. I recently 1cced the Original mode with ship type 1 and I think this game is pure awesome.

Alright. I got a replay of as far as I can get in EoSD extra. Been at it for a long ass time. I need all the advice I can get. Some notes:

On the final fairy before Patchy: I've pretty much mentally set myself to bomb here. I complete this segment without bombing 1 out of every 5 games or so and have never improved, so I just give up and bomb it.

Patchy fight: First time I ever died on her first spell in a while. Funnily enough, I didn't die on her final spell. This is the second time I've ever done that without death or bomb.

Cranberry Trap: I've gotten to where I can do this 1 out of every 3 games without death/bomb. I died this time.

Counter Clock and Flandre's attack before hand: I'd only ever seen a glimpse of this, so I had NO IDEA what was going to happen. That's why I bomb spammed and died near instantly. I want advice on it, though.

I specifically would like advice on Counter Clock, Maze of Love, and Catadioptric. All advice is appreciated, though.

You're way too slow on Maze of Love. Get in the openings faster. Stick at the bottom right corner on Catadioptric. On Counter Clock, all of the red bullets are aimed and the lasers are static, the "safe" places to stay on is left side, right side, middle and repeat. So simply start at the left side, stream the red aimed bullets and move to the right, stream them again and go sit in the middle and it should be over.

Oh god time to rant.
So I'm playing SA, as I've been doing for the past few days trying to 1cc it.
My first two runs are abnormally good up until stage 5, where I fuck up quite a bit due to nerves, however saying that, I still had around 5 or so lives for stage 6. I get to Utsuho's final spell on both tries, and I get her to the part where you hear the noise indicating that she's about to die. BOTH times I died at this point.....with 2 bombs remaining.
Needless to say, I was quite pissed off about this. So I played again whilst raging....I did pretty terrible on stage 3 and 4, and I failed at the orin midboss on stage 5, which I did good on in my last two playthroughs. So I get to orin with 2 or 3 lives instead of my usual 7 or so, and I fucking didn't die once to her, and then I go on to beating the game. What the fuck man, I wasn't even trying that run, it was just a run purely out of rage. Now only UFO remains.
Oh and yeh, fuck final spells, they are the bane of me, I cannot stand them.

>>9108315
>I get her to the part where you hear the noise indicating that she's about to die. BOTH times I died at this point...
Thanks for reminding me of my experience with Yukari.

Also trying to beat SA now, barely unlocked stage 5 in practice mode. I've said it many times, and I'll say it again: I hate continuing in MoF/SA.

>>9108315
Okay it's me again. I've just been checking my replays, and all of the ones I have saved today (which is 3, I saved the two where I died at her final spell, and the one where I succeeded of course) show me dying to Okuu. Multiple times to her first non spell, then the same amount of times to her first spell. it pretty much shows me game overing just after her first spell. My 1cc replay even says "all" ...it says stage 6 or whatever stage you lose on if you don't get the 1cc right?
I'm so confused right now, anyone else had this happen/know why it's happening?

>>9108674
...Last time I'll say something about this, since I'm sure nobody gives a shit anyway. The replay shows my dying at utsuhos first spell if I watch it from stage 1-6. It does the same if I watch it from stage 6...
Yet if I watch it from stage 5-6 it works fine.
Oh well whatever.

>>9108839
It's a glitch/bug thing with the replays, happens to almost all of us, starting from a stage before 6 usually fixes it, don't know why watching it from the start is still glitched out though.
On a side note, which difficulty is this?

>>9108879
Just normal mode.

>>9107928
Anyone?

Seems like that's the case for TD too.

Is it possible to change the keyboard controls for Ten Desires? The original configuration does not allow me to go UP+LEFT or DOWN+RIGHT while shooting.

I haven't played Touhou for a few weeks at least, and I haven't put any serious effort in for months. I'm really regretting that now. I was so close to a 1cc of SA, and now I suck just as much as I did before.

>>9108839
It's probably a weird bug where replays can desync for no apparent reason. I've seen it a few times.

>>9108234
I tried the bottom right of Catadioptric and died instantly.

Is there any other advice on Maze of Love? I go into the openings as fast as I can. If I go any faster, I will ALWAYS hit something. I try going off videos I've seen, and other players seem to go even slower than I do.

Maze of Love is the only spellcard where I've shown no improvement at all, and I always use the remainder of my resources on it. I sometimes get to that point without losing any lives and have a bomb or two. By the time I'm done I've used two or three lives and each bomb.

I just can't understand Mokou's spellcards... Ugh.

>>9113892
>I tried the bottom right of Catadioptric and died instantly.
How so?
>Is there any other advice on Maze of Love?
Have you tried dodging it from the bottom? Also, you are not supposed to do it as fast as you can, you are supposed to be in control.
>Maze of Love is the only spellcard where I've shown no improvement at all, and I always use the remainder of my resources on it.
You can't possible use more than two bombs, and that's if you bombspam it eternally. You are clearly using your resources wrong.

Touhou 12 on hard is damn impossible, and Lunatic is going to be a load worse? Dammit.

>>9113919
If you practice it enough, it will be trivial to you.

I installed the vsync and I didn't noticed any difference...except for some slowdowns from time to time. Did I do something wrong?

>>9113916
>How so?
I went to the bottom right corner and quickly got hit by a bullet.
>Have you tried dodging it from the bottom?
Yes. That is when I end up bomb spamming, because I don't have the ability to dodge in that tiny of an area.
>You can't possible use more than two bombs.
Yes I can. It's what usually happens.

1-I try going around the circle. I sometimes get around once. I always die, though, sooner or later.
2-I decide to try dodging from the bottom.
3-I must bomb because I cannot dodge what comes at me.
4(Optional)-I still haven't killed her and die again, and restart from 2.

>You are clearly using your resources wrong.
I can't help it. The best I can do is get myself into a "bomb or die" situation.

>>9113952
How did you install it? Post a screenshot. Also, which game did you try it on? It's most noticable on the earlier ones.
>>9113971
>I went to the bottom right corner and quickly got hit by a bullet.
Then stop getting hit by bullets.
>Yes. That is when I end up bomb spamming, because I don't have the ability to dodge in that tiny of an area.
Instead of just spamming, wait until the bullets are about to reach you, then bomb. After you bomb, wait for the bullets again. Don't bomb unless you are about to get hit. Also, you have to be able to dodge at least one wave, especially if you have already bombed on the card.

>>9114007
I downloaded it from the touhou wiki and followed the readme(copied vpatch.exe, vpatch.ini and the corresponding dll file in the game folder) then did that thing of renaming each exe file to th**.exe and so on.
I tried on TD, IN, PCB and DS.

>>9114028
Make sure it looks like my picture. You may be renaming the wrong thing. Also, it may be hard to notice, but it's definitely going to be there.

>>9114007
>Then stop getting hit by bullets.
Come on. All I want to do is finish this extra stage, then I'll be done with Touhou forever and never bother you guys again. You don't have to be a jerk about it.

When I said was "bomb spamming" Maze, I meant that I already did what you're saying. I wait until I'm about to get hit and then fire the bomb. However, I 'almost get hit' a lot more than I should. Whether or not I can survive a wave is a roll of the dice.

>>9114046
My th12 folder looks like this.
What about the slowdowns, though?They are not very common, but I never had them until I started using the vsync patch

>>9114116
>All I want to do is finish this extra stage, then I'll be done with Touhou forever and never bother you guys again.
You are not bothering anyone. We like you here.
>When I said was "bomb spamming" Maze, I meant that I already did what you're saying.
Then I don't understand how you are losing so many resources.
>Whether or not I can survive a wave is a roll of the dice.
Exactly. Your first run of a game is always going to be littered with silly mistakes. It doesn't matter how good you are. You are always going to make mistakes. Even the best WR's and superplays have mistakes in them. Don't be afraid to take risks, that is the name of the game.
>>9114150
That looks fine as long as you are running vpatch.exe to play. As for slowdowns, I think that will depend on your computer. I never had a problem with slowdown. Also, try changing your input latency and see if it helps. Mine is set to 'Fast'.

How the hell am I supposed to beat Mokou's 5th spellcard?

>>9114314
You mean "Honest Man's Death"? You have to move into the laser in the direction that it spawned. If you go the opposite way, it will hit you. It sounds weird that you have to go through it, but it is true.
Alternatively, you can try this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TskYsMJFItg

>>9114303
I apologize for reacting so harshly. My desire to win combined with consistent failures just causes frustration which ends up seeping into my posts.

All I can do is keep trying. I know that simple posts in this thread won't make me improve. For the most part, my posts in these threads are just to help me work off my frustration faster -- and if anything, when I type out what I'm having a problem with, that only helps me recognize exactly what went wrong, which is always good.

So yeah. I don't mean to be a dick about everything.

>>9114408
I know that feeling. http://archive.foolz.us/jp/thread/7472903/#7494884
>I know that simple posts in this thread won't make me improve.
Yes they can. One of the best ways to improve is to communicate with other players. It's usually not a good idea to play when you are angry. That's usually a good time to take a break.

>>9114443
>That's usually a good time to take a break.

I've started getting better at that. Unfortunately, one of my obstacles is getting angry too quickly... which leads to taking more time off.

Once I successfully learn to control my anger for longer periods, then this road will be much smoother. Maybe I'll still improve slowly, but at least I'll be able to take it easy.

>>9114538
The first thing to make sure to do when you are playing Touhou is to have fun. As long as you are enjoying yourself, you should have no need for patience. Patience is just your tolerance to withstand things that you don't like. You shouldn't need to do that in a video game. I consider myself very impatient, and yet I managed to play a single level fairly intensely for 7 months in order to get a single run. At one point, I wasn't even playing to win, I was just playing to play. When I got my first NBNUFO run, I started the game not caring whether I won or not. Once you toss out the "I have to win!" condition, the game will feel a lot easier to you.

It's not about the goal, it's about the game.

I was going to play all the Windows games in order but I'm too unmotivated to keep smashing my head on EoSD.

I'm just going to dump coins into PCB now.

>>9114640
Fuck off with your spoilers.

>>9114651
What will you do if I don't?

>>9114657
Exactly the same things as if you did.

>>9114604
Something as simple as that may just be what I need. Looking back, I haven't been playing for fun at all. Every time I was playing, I was going through the same thought process: "I'm going to try to win this stage." I don't think I ever even considered changing my perspective on the whole situation. This whole time I've been treating it not as a game, but as something I have to "get over".

It feels liberating now. Thank you for not just ignoring my posts and brushing me off.

So...
How the hell are you supposed to dodge this nonspell?

>>9114712
Dodge it? Go play Ketsui.

>>9114712
go right to dodge it, then go left. During this move up and down to dodge the yellow ones.

>>9114712
Be off to the side, but not all the way into the corner.

I just die on UFO stage 4 all the time. I try to collect all the UFOs and then I get hit. I suppose I could just dodge everything and try to survive, but I want score...

>>9116999
You'll score more if you survive.

What is there to discuss about STGs? They are simple games; any and all questions can be answered by watching replays.

>>9116999
You need to be able to clear the game before you can think about scoring.

>>9117033
not troo

>>9117004
>>9117031
>>9117033
Thanks for the advices. I guess I'll just try to survive and clear the game. It's just that I get tempted to do stupid things when I see those UFOs...

>>9117048
UFO is one of those games where survival and scoring are completely separate. All resources should be spent maximizing point item value or items collected in UFOs. Gathering lives or bombs for the purpose of survival is only detrimental to score.

What the fuck man? At least I finally managed to clear it.

>>9117669
nice dude

it took me like 2.5k tries

Trickysticks playing some touhou games, danmakufu and official games too.
http://bit.ly/L7y5Vk

I scanned this for you, STG thread

I could have totally done the rest of the game on just one life. Maybe I should stop shooting on the nonspell so that I could skip those fairies.

After I 1cc'd IN on normal I thought I'd try my hand at MoF. It feels completely fucking different and seems to be harder than IN. Are all the Touhou games from MoF onwards this different?

>>9120747
IN has a ridiculously long death bomb timer.
MOF onwards feels smoother in terms of gameplay.

And for MOF you have unlimited bombs.

>>9120774
I defintely feel like I should be bombing more than I had to in IN

All these silly deaths. One on Kogasa, one on stage 3, one on Nazrin's midboss, and then Shou totally killed me.

Bampu pantsu.
­­

I wish I were as good as you guys...

Failed to defeat the shrinemaiden in Yamaxanadu extra again. This is the first time i defeat Komachi without losing any life. I thought i could beat Reimu with 3 lives but i failed. I've practiced on Hard for 2 weeks and i also nearly 1cc Hard today. Guess i have to keep practicing. It's weird that i can't win any fight in Match mode no matter which character i use. I can survive until 3 minutes but the AI can hold for much longer. At least Yuuka and Medicine don't appear in extra, they are fucking monsters on Hard.

>>9122581

http://bit.ly/L7y5Vk

I don't get this spellcard.
Sometimes the laser kills me, sometimes it doesn't...I just don't understand it.

On EoSD extra stage, I finally (almost) survived Maze of Love! I figured out the movements and was able to survive the first circle easily!

Then I got excited and forgot to head left when the orange circle was being made and died.

>>9124912

Laser hits if hitbox is visible, goes through if hitbox is invisible.

>>9124912
The laser's hitbox only activates at precisely the point where you were when it started up; thusly, move towards the laser as it swings, even only by a hitbox's length, and it won't kill you.

>>9126129
This is very wrong and will make the card much more difficult to clear, even if you did follow the above.

>>9124912
It's all luck. The only way to do it without worrying about the laser touching you would be to circle around Mokou as she shoots, but getting the right path is literally the most difficult thing you will ever have to do.

>>9126150
>luck

This is honestly the easiest card in the entire extra stage.

>>9124912
http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=21282

Rest wasn't bad but fucked up hard on volcano and the phoenix card.

Flaw of Forgiving Shrine is the easiest. Followed by Xu Fu's Dimension.

>>9126571
here have mine

>>9078216
Please shut up forever.

Anyone can be good at danmaku. Anyone. If I could clear a Touhou on Normal after having spent my entire childhood playing everything on Easy and having wasted my life on autistic resource management games, anyone can.

>>9078311
The Touhou difficulty curve is something like this, from 1 to 10.

>Embodiment: 5
The most barebones Touhou. Not too difficult per se, but there are very little features out there to help you.

>PCB: 3
So-so bosses, extremely generous with lives and temporary invulnerabilities.

>Imperishable: 1
Literally easy everything. This is why I always recommend it to beginners.

>Phantasmagoria: 4
It's a competitive danmaku, which means the patterns are completely random. The strategy is more about war of attrition than on the other games though.

>MOF: 5
The bomb-with-power system will fuck you up somewhat if you come from other Touhou games but you'll get the hang of it. Patterns are so-so, there's a fair amount of lives to be grabbed.

>Subterranean: 7
Like a more difficult version of MOF with less lives but with some pretty helpful special powers. Reimu/Suika's semi-homing shot is particularly good for pure survival. And make damn sure you have your herding down to an art and science because you WILL need it for stage 5.

>UFO: 10
You will die. A lot. First you have to learn to ignore the UFOs that are dangerous to grab, then you have to learn to ignore that nasty and irritating *plunk!* that makes you want to go grab them, then you have to learn to ignore these fucking UFOs that are just floating around screaming "GRAB ME, BITCH!", and only then will you be finally ready to tackle these nightmarishly difficult patterns. Pic is related for this reason.

>Ten Desires: 3
Would be as easy as Imperishable, but resource-wise it's the stingiest game of the whole lot, and it takes a lot of strain to ignore these fucking spirits.

>>9085470
All that scoring is pure badassitude incarnate.

Is it possible to pacifist PoFV ? I'm 5 minutes in and Cirno hasn't taken a hit.

For fucks sake can't even get past stage 1 in SA on Lunatic.

>still trying to normal 1cc PCB

>>9126716

according to this i'm shit incarnate

>>9126773
There is an invisible timer that counts down, similar to the one visible in Extra. Once it reaches 0, the AI starts acting "stupid". The timer starts at a higher value depending on the stage, resets to certain values after the opponent is hit, and starts off lower in general if the opponent has won already. If you stop shooting for too long, the timer freezes.

So, pretty much no.

Finished getting all Reimu's MoF endings tonight, think I'd like to start working on another game since the two non-glitched Marisas are hard for me to pilot. Cleared 7 Sakuya A and 9 with someone, where to next? Imperishable Night maybe?

>>9126716
>Imperishable: 1
I still don't understand why people say that. Even when I piece together a good run of stages 1-5, Kaguya always slaps my shit.

>>9082464
Aya and Medicine are the best characters to use against AI. Sakuya as well, but she's harder to pilot.

>>9127196
>I still don't understand why people say that. Even when I piece together a good run of stages 1-5, Kaguya always slaps my shit.
Maybe because they used max 7 lives. IN with default 3 lives is quite hard.

>>9127204
How did I never notice this before? Alright, we'll see who slaps whose shit now.

>>9127204
It's still not particularly hard, at least on normal. The first 3 stages are pretty trivial and Reisen is an easier than average stage 5 boss.

I do think that stage 4 and 6 are very difficult though. The only reason I find them doable is because the rest of the game is pretty easy and throws resources at you.

>>9126716
>TD 3, PCB 3 IN 1
If thise is your taste then it's utter shit.

I've always been playing with default 3 lives...
Time to set it to 7 I guess.

>>9128082
No, it's time for you to get better. A 7 life clear should not be considered a 1cc by any stretch of the imagination.

I FINALLY cleared SA after a few months of refusing to touch it due to the rage it induced. It feels so good to finally have that out of the way.

I've taken a brief look at extra, but the stage portion feels really difficult. Is it mostly memorisation or dodging? I can't tell what I'm supposed to be doing at the part immediately after Sanae. Sanae's first two spells aren't too bad though.

>>9128097
I can get up to Stage 6 but usually run out of lives...
So far I only managed to 1cc EoSD and TD.

>>9128101
If you can 1cc EoSD you can 1cc them all. EoSD is a test of dodging for the most part. If you have that dodging skill, you should be able to adapt to all the other games in time.

>>9128095
I find SA to be the most difficult Extra. For the stage, I find it to be more about memorization than dodging.

You can also try watching a few replays. This is one: http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=11820
>Sanae's first two spells aren't too bad though.
The third one shouldn't be too bad if you can do the first two, even if you don't safespot it. It's just streaming.

>>9128176
I know her third one is streaming, but the random bullets from the side scare me into moving too slowly or quickly. Luckily it probably doesn't matter if I bomb it due to the bomb system in SA.

Anyone streaming or going to stream some touhou?
I've had enough of grinding UFO (how coincidental, what with all the talk in that SA thread) and think a stream will be refreshing if anyone can be bothered.
I also missed Riz's stream, so this'll be compensation.

Yay, I improved from 1/282 to 2/356.
Went from 1/23 to 1/56 for Keine's spellcard though...

>>9128571
I'll stream a little if you want, I can only 1cc normal (sometimes) Although I have done most extra bosses as well. Not a SUPER PLAYER like Riz or anyone.

>>9129635
http://www.livestream.com/cutefcchannel

I'll pretty much do whatever, taking suggestions of game to play/extra to try

I missed a really good NBNUFO run yesterday, and it's still bugging me. I'm sure that I will get it soon. It was very interesting to see the audience so excited during difficult fights; sometimes even more than me. The stream was very suspenseful, and your encouraging words were very inspiring.
We also did this: http://youtu.be/6Tb6pMqVgFo
and this: http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=21660
It was a pretty good stream.
>>9128571
>I also missed Riz's stream, so this'll be compensation.
Sorry about that. It seems almost impossible to get to everyone with a single stream. Everyone has different timezones and sleeping schedules. I still keep repeatedly missing viewers, and it's a pain in the butt. The only thing I can think to do is schedule the events ahead of time or play for a really long time. I once streamed for something like 8 hours after playing all day, and people were still coming into the show right when I was ending it. It's really nice to see that my friends are still streaming, though.

>>9129910
Making a video on youtube would be a good way to let people know you're streaming, I think.

>>9129932
Someone once suggested that, but I never got around to it. I just got lazy. I'll put out a video next time I stream. I'll probably be stream a lot more than before now that I have so much free time.

thx for watching my stream, we beat ran(perfect chen!), suwako,1ccd dim dream with marisa, and ufo 1cc.

>>9130379
also beat flan and stage 6 practice EoSD hard(even dying twice to sakuya).

Don't you know how to abuse bombs?

>>9135111
> People still getting SA and MoF mixed up.
Yes I do, and I know how to abuse UFOs too. So that's two types of bombs I get to abuse.

Hey there, recently I have gotten interested in Touhou, could anybody please provide me with something like a DL link?

Thanks in advance.

>>9135111
Not him, but you know, at least in my opinion, on normal, both UFO and SA are easy. I've played UFO about 3 times after several months, and now I can reach byakuren easily. I just need to play a few more times and I'll probably beat her.
Actually, I think I should go to hard mode already, and see how hard UFO is. It seems like everyone here assumes that UFO is much harder than SA on hard.

>>9135162
Throwing in my two cents. I have reached stage 5 (normal) on both of them during my first credit, with far fewer attempts in UFO. I think one thing complicating this debate is that SA has harder than usual bosses and somewhat difficult stages, while UFO has ridiculous stages with mostly average bosses.

In PCB or MoF I can count on no deaths during the first three stages, and capturing most spellcards. I can't with either of those two.

>>9135321
Really? In my first 1CC of SA, I've captured every single spellcard until stage 4. I find SA's spellcards rather easy, aside of Orin's. Even Okuu's spellcards are easy.
Now for UFO's spellcards, I think they aren't really a challenge too. The only reason I haven't 1CC'd UFO (I tried only 3 times, but meh) is that I risk myself too much to try to get dangerous UFOs.

Slowpoke here, how does everyone feel about Madokabachi?

>>9135147
Seems like you're not really too interested if you can't even use google.

>>9135110
Damn dude you're really wound up over this aren't you

Does anyone know how to make t98-next run at a consistent fps? I want to play MS but the slowdown is unbearable at parts.

I have no problems with some bosses (Ten Desires), but i wipe on fucking fairies.
I am so fucking frustrated by this. It's like, i lose all motivation to play BEFORE i get to the boss that i want to fight, because i lose concentration for a second and get myself on a random bullet.

Dudes, focused fire always does more damage than normal fire, right? Right dudes?

>>9135510

http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,181.0.html

Mostly yes, dude.

Just 1cc'd UFO since everyone has been arguing about it and thought I'd check it out for myself.
SA took me 2 weeks, with quite alot of hours put into it each day....UFO however I've just beat in a day (about 6-8 hours roughly). The only thing that I've 1cc'd faster than UFO was IN, and that was when I was using 7 lives instead of the default (I went back and 1cc'd it with default, before people get mad)
So yeh, based on what I've seen...SA is the more difficult of the two, at least on normal mode anyway.
(Also Byakuren is a joke compared to Utsuho...unless I just had a lucky few runs, which I doubt.)
Just my opinion on the matter anyway.

Now try it on Hard/Lunatic and see which one of the two takes longer.
I've 1cc'd SA on Lunatic a while ago and yet I still can't consistently (Only managed it once, except I had no lives and 2 bombs at the time) get past stage 4 on UFO on Hard, it's ridiculous.

Hi guys.

>>9135352
Please respond.
It's fun and somewhat easier when it jumps to over 60fps but when it's really disorienting when the slowdown starts.

Rank each extra stage from easiest to hardest. I'd like to see your opinions, guys.

>>9136350
They are all easy.

We got a badass over here.

That's TD for you. It gets better after you have beaten it.
>>9136350
In terms of just survival: SA>TD>PCB=IN=UFO>EoSD=MoF
Don't take that list too literally though.

>>9136655
You really think TD's extra stage is hard? I find it one of the easiest stages to clear. And Mamizou is pretty easy too.

>>9136655
>IN and it's all deathbombs all the time vs UFO and it's stage of dying all the time.


Are you going to stream tonight?

>>9136655
>That's TD for you. It gets better after you have beaten it.
Just like every Touhou game.

>>9136655
The only extras I've cleared are IN and MoF, but I've at least attempted them all except UFO. I'm not in much of a position to judge most of them but I would definitely say that Mokou is easier than Suwako. They both have a lot of easy and gimmicky spells, but IN has that stupidly generous deathbomb timer.

I don't know why everyone seems to think that EoSD extra is easy. I find it to be the most difficult after SA.

>>9136693
EoSD has some bullshit like Maze of Love, but it also has by far the highest number of throwaway patterns. The stage is incredibly easy once you have it memorized, Patchy's only hard card can be memorized, all of Flandre's noncards are impossible to fail, Lavatein is pathetic, and Starbow Break has a safespot. You have like 6 cards that might actually kill you, and Maze of Love is the only one that's really bullshit.

Last night on my stream I captured maze of love....Then when I went to POC flan moved into me. Had to pause the game.

>>9136664
It's kind of hard to tell. I just think that Mamizou and Nue some challenging spellcards overall, and that the TD mechanics may take some time to get used to.
>>9136666
I'll probably do a stream tomorrow. I wasn't planning on doing one tonight.
>>9136668
Well, sure, but I was talking about TD in particular. I had a problem with having things spawn on me as well, but that went away after I beat the game a few times on Lunatic.
>>9136693
The bombing timer isn't always that generous depending on the shot, and you may not always want to loose two bombs. IN may be easy in general, but I find that it has some pretty high-profile cards.
>>9136693
>I don't know why everyone seems to think that EoSD extra is easy.
It's very simple since you have no mechanics to worry about. Most of the patterns are pretty straight-forward and understandable, so it just comes down to dodging.
>Maze of Love is the only one that's really bullshit.
I'm not too knowledgeable with EoSD, but I'm pretty sure that you can master it just by going around Flandre, and dodging it from the bottom isn't too bad if you have practiced.

>>9136725
Haha.

>>9136655
Thanks, I completely forgot about Anex. Now I just have to figure out how to make it speed up again.

Unlocking SA lunatic for practice reminded me of what I always liked most about the game. Something about how the bomb/power/life systems come together makes fighting for a 1CC really fun. Okuu's got enough easy attacks that I can usually pull up one more star piece at 0 power and barely make it.

WHY DO I KEEP RUNNING INTO A BUNCH OF STUPID SHIT EVERY TIME I'M DOING REALLY WELL ON A CERTAIN RUN

It doesn't matter which 2hu game it is. I've 1cc'd a few of them, but it's fucking ridiculous how many times I'll have a fuckton of bombs and no lives lost and then suddenly run straight into a bullet that was on its way off the screen below me. This is infuriating.

>>9136938
You just need to focus more. Just keep practicing until you get familiar with the stage, then you won't have to worry about bullets being behind you. It happens to everyone.
