>Terrible
My problem is that I've taken to being a Tenshi and challenging things I know I won't beat because I want "to improve". Thus, I either play the crap out of Lunatic, or if I have the option, Extra/Phantasm. Needless to say, I get smacked around like Cirno these days.
I just can't stand how slow the early Normal stages are.

Yeah, I've been throwing myself at Extra stages lately, because I've reached all the seemingly attainable goals, so why the hell not? Might as well fail at something cool instead of dying to some random shit on an early stage a hundred times in a row.

That said, between my last post and now, I cleared 10 on Hard, so not everything is terrible.

>>15933885
PoFV has it's own netplay coding but it's terribly laggy, so people use a third party program called Adonis where there's a host and a client. If you're hosting you'll need to have port forwarding enabled for that port but clients don't need to.

It doesn't tell you in th6 in game. I've failed it 30times looking in the score at the title screen but I what I meant was I wonder how many times I've lost a 1cc attempt in that spell card. Some of those are from stage practice.

Actually thinking about it. I've surely died the most to utsuho. I think I forgot about her because it was so long ago and I burned out on that game and took a 2month+ break from touhou all together because I just could not beat stage 6. The first time I beat it was also my first time 1ccing it.

I have a feeling legacy lolk is going to be a similar experience. I've been putting that game off for so long.

I haven't touched them very much so when bosses are doing things like firing lasers that move then go stationary, they're still lethal when they're starting to rotate them again instead of unlethal then rotate.

>>15938185
It's not a good survival game because of that. But most games aren't fun for survival anyway. You can do a similar thing in PoFV, which is why no-charge runs are possible. I find it more fun to actually shoot things instead of just pacifying them, then there are more things to dodge even if it ends up killing me and it actually feels legit that way.

I'm not sure if I really like PoDD all that much. I 1cced it once on lunatic with Yumemi with like 30m score (ie, not scoring at all) so I'm not experienced in it, but even so, I like it more than the other PC98 games from what I've played of them. It's fast and high energy, trying to set up big reflections/combos gets really intense.

You get 2 initial lives and 5 extends (at 10, 30, 50, 70, 90 million)
Don't die to stages 1-5.
If you die no more than once on each of stages 6, 7 and 8, that leaves you with 4 lives for stage 9, meaning you can go until round 5 Eiki/Reimu. Sure, you could not get an extend or die more on stages 6-8, but it's still pretty generous.

I don't really know what else to say. Dodge the bullets?

>>15938401
Not that anon, but Shoot the Bullet is a difficult game and you should probably have a normal 1cc or two before getting into it in my opinion.

That's a game that you might play after 1cc'ing the mainline games on Hard or Lunatic. It's not meant for beginners. Stick with the others for now.

>>15938391
Really? If anything, I find the first six stages tedious since they're just an extended warm-up, and the last three are where the real challenge is. Just budget all your lives for Komachi and Eiki, and you can wear down their death timers to a reasonable amount.

Seriously? I have day 2 in StB completely cleared, and that was when I only had a handful of Normal 1ccs. I can buy that different people have difficulties with different things but this is too much of a stretch.

>>15938608
As a whole, maybe. Looking at everything individiually though, there's quite a few things that requires a lot of skill to beat. Like that Kaguya spellcard with the yellow bullets that come down, that one is total horseshit.

SA LNB must be harder than others, isn't it? The patterns are tough, and your extends gain relies pretty heavily on bombs to prevent misses.
Going from 7 to 1 miss is still a huge improvement. With practice, it's only a matter of time before you can do it reliably. I say that but I can't seem to get any better than 6 misses on IN... I should practice Hourai Jewel on day.

I guarantee that it only seemed hard because you hadn't seen it (many times?) before, and panicked. It's probably the easiest final spell card, not counting the Saigyou Ayakashi nonsense, and even one of the easiest cards in its own fight. It's a theatrical-type that makes for a cool ending to a cool stage.

You should practice Miko a bit, then try getting Reimu's secret ending.

Three, actually. You have to see that character's good ending, attempt the Extra with them(?), then 1cc again but have at least three bombs in stock at the end. It's really not that hard to pull off, but does require that you you know your way around Miko's fight, and her last card especially.

I don't know what the consensus is, but SA is the game I got into the series with by the recommendation of a friend and it's the only game I can consistently 1cc Lunatic on since I spent the most time with it, so my proficiency in the games is rather skewed.

Imperishable Night is regarded as the easiest. Also has the best soundtrack out of the first iteration of Windows games.

Double Dealing Character is pretty laid-back. You easily gather lives and bombs.

Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom on Pointdevice mode is good practice, it forces you to get good quickly unless you want to deal with 4269 attempts on Fake Apollo. It's a very good game for getting used to the controls and basic concepts such as streaming/routing. It's basically a Touhou tutorial.

People will have you start of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, but make no mistake, it's a hard game. No hitbox and no mechanics to help you nab lives quickly. There's no real story to Touhou, the dialogue is all weird jokes so you're not missing any crucial plot if you start at a later game.

PCB is a bit hard. Things get pretty crazy on level 4. I think of it as the most draining Touhou, if that makes sense. It was my first and the one I got merked on more than any other, so I'm probably biased.

Experiment with different characters and methods of dodging.

All of the games are easily found on the internet.

Have fun.

Don't critisize that Anon's learning methodology, Anon. I got into Touhou by playing Subterraanin Animism Lunatic untill I could beat the second stage using all my continues, then switched to normal mode.

If I was the one offering my opinion to a newbie, I would recommend that exact method. Trial by Fire is a powerful motivator that some people will respond to better than a standard/gradual learning curve.

Even so, LoLK is a terrible game to start with. Pointdevice mode encourages you to play the same little part over and over until you're burnt out, then keep going, because there's no natural breakpoint of the game telling you that you're done. Unless you intentionally take a break every thirty minutes or hour or whatever, it's extremely easy to get stuck in a spiral of getting more frustrated, leading to worse play, less learning, and less progression. Plus, as someone's first game, it give a really inaccurate representation of the series.

If you want to suggest he follow your original approach, that's more reasonable, it's just LoLK that's an insanity trap.

I found IN to be much easier to 1cc simply because it gives you a shit ton of resources, so if you know how to bomb you don't have to learn the game much at all. Not to even mention that extended deathbomb time during spellcards.

The danmaku itself isn't harder in PCB, maybe with the exception of Yuyuko being harder than Kaguya but still easier than Eirin.

'Static' doesn't imply 'easy', and regardless, there's plenty of RNG in 8. It also depends on what playstyle you're most comfortable with; if you're not good at microdoging and multi-directional dodging, 8 becomes incredibly difficult.

It's great. You should try playing against another person, which is when it actually gets exciting.

I found the single player campaign to be an exciting RNG puzzle with brutal dodging on Lunatic. Music is nice. Controls were confusing at first, but then it was okay. I won the genetic lottery in being resistant to nerve damage RSI, so I have no problem with tapping. The screen layout does its job, not sure how it could be better, although I guess in single player it is largely useless to watch the AI.

I'm too much of an aspie ever to play with another human being, so no comment on multiplayer.

Sorry I have to bring this up every time, but it bothers me when people say that they have to mash the shot button in PoFV. You don't have to do it all the time since chain reactions exist and you can use your level 1 charge instead, depending on the character, for possibly even greater effect than just shooting repeatedly.

Interesting. Suwako is unique among the Extra bosses I've attempted because the fight is almost completely dependent on knowing what you're doing (and because it's the only one I can clear). If you understand each card's gimmick, you can get through with just mediocre dodging skill. Even her patterns are easy. Froggy Braves the Elements, Suwa War, and Mishaguji-sama are the only actual skill-testers, so overall, I found her fight to be easier than Kanako's on Normal.

I've never actually made it to Nue, always fucking up UFO collection and giving up on the stage before reaching her. Is her fight at all similar?

Having to do it in the first place is a bother. GFW doesn't have this problem tho, maybe because the game itself is just better

I also hated stages 4 before, they are hard, long, boring and usually streaming shitshows, but for some reason, after practicing I actually like some of them. Maybe because it feels great when something that used to be hard is easy, or idk. I always loved SA's, UFO's and TD's stage 4, mainly because of the music and atmosphere.

Finally beat ESoD on hard. Very weird how it happened too. I don't remember playing touhou yesterday or today. I was feeling tired but it's too early to go to bed so I decided to play. I got the 1cc on my first try. Needless to say I'm not tired anymore.

I think I got my first normal SA 1cc on the first attempt of the day also. If I remember correctly I died in stage 1 and again in stage 2 but kept on playing anyway for practice and ended up beating it.

In my opinion, the nonspell Flan phases are really easy if you've fought Ran or Yukari before, as they're really similar. The spellcards, though, are where I started messing up real bad.

It's weird at first, but it's actually a ton of fun once you get the mechanics down. Most of that fun requires netplay, admittedly.
> nor the fact that beating the AI was based solely on luck(in my experience), and fights would drag for ages and become repetitive.
In story mode they're on a timer, actually. As for free matches, that depends on your character. Some characters like Marisa have to wait for the ai to fuck up, while others like Aya and Medicine can just sort of force it.

Honest Man's Death is a very easy card, but it's all about knowing the properties of lasers in IN.
Basically, Lasers in IN have no hitbox for the first second that they're active, which is to say when the sprite appears. This means that, during Honest Man's Death, simply moving slightly toward the laser will prevent it from hitting you. That's all you need to do to avoid all the lasers in that card.

Trying to play touhou in my laptop without my monitor is a pain. When I fullscreen them, they stretch to fit my monitor (1366x768), which doesn't look very well, and when I play in windowed mode, it's too tiny to see anything at all.

You're pretty much out of luck. Normally, you could use vpatch to pixel-double them, but that would be 1280x960, which is too big for your display. If you use vpatch to set a resolution that's not an integer multiple of the original, it only uses nearest-neighbor scaling, so the result will look like absolute shit. If windowed is really too small, I'd say fullscreen is your next best option.

I actually kind of agree.

I've always played main Touhou games on and off for years never beating them, mostly just getting frustrated at having to waste time climbing back through the first 3 stages after screwing up.

But after playing through LoLK on Pointdevice mode I discovered I was actually finally able to 1cc the older games. It's not like I don't realize LoLK is kind of a shitty game with very strange choices and ZUN really should've taken more time on the gameplay I think.

But a baptism by fire actually worked fantastic for me as the ease I could simply replay sections to learn to dodge danmaku and the intensity carried over and I finally nailed the skills I had been missing the whole time.

>>15951022
See the problem is some are actually better at approaching learning by simply poking at a problem intensely for a short while and walking away and resting and coming back later. Pointdevice lets you do that since it's just a quick save.

The only other game which really allows that is UFO and the StB type games.

Incidentally my favourite Touhou game is GFW and is actually the only game I ever 1cc'd before the LoLK baptism. So not sure what that says about me since I understand GFW is considered a oddball?

For one thing, the MarisaB bug can easily be fixed with vpatch. Without the bug, MarisaB is basically a weaker version of ReimuB with a bigger hitbox. MarisaC is a very good shot, though, if you learn how to use it.

On another note, ReimuC is trash. Use ReimuB instead. She's the second strongest shot, after MariC.

Congrats on the clear, but if that was Easy, I highly recommend trying the higher difficulties(Lunatic) to really feel the (Lunatic) of Lo(Lunatic)K. Heck, you're probably able to 1cc some of the older games (not SoEW, that's a whole new difficulty).

I remember someone brought up /jp/ Gameplay threads last night, and it happened to be one of those shitposting threads where that guy who keeps posting some UFO replay won't stop trying to attention whore. I just checked out this thread now because of said mention last night, I apologize if it brought in undesirables at the same time.

To bring up my gameplay progress, I unlocked the Extra stage for Shoot the Bullet last night. I've been trying to take a break from that with a second Normal 1cc for PCB, but I've become too fixated on the points you get from borders and I've been doing stupid things that get my killed early and force me to reset, and I hate it. I never want to play for score if it's like this.

If and when you want to try playing for score, I'd suggest starting with something other than 7, since apparently it's the most complex one. I think other games can be played for score without breaking their mechanics in unimaginable ways, making them a bit more accessible.

EoSD Lunatic isn't awful, since the game gives you enough resources to work with (3 bombs per life is pretty solid). Remi would be pretty harsh, but you should be alright.

As for UFO, it is indeed considered the toughest to clear on Lunatic. But with a good route, your resource count should be plenty to work with to get through the game.

I do think I need to focus on survival for now. Playing for score seems like a post-Lunatic 1cc goal, and I can't even beat the easier Extra stages at this point. I do think playing the stages up to maybe Stage 4 somewhat optimally is something to strive for at least (once the Prismshivers show up fuck that shit).

Out of curiosity, I think if I ever fully got into playing for score and aiming for an actual WR, I'd be interested in trying Mystic Square. What's the consensus on how easy/hard playing for score in that game is relative to the rest of the series? I just really love how the Dream Bonus works and how there's no autocollect but rather the cards getting full value at any elevation when it's full, even before I cleared the game it really interested me.

I couldn't get into it at all when I first played it, it was much too hard for me (I was playing the games in order, had played everything before StB but nothing after). I went back to give it another shot after clearing every game on Normal, since it seemed a lot less daunting after clearing SA/UFO/GFW/LoLK, and I ended up loving it. It's still brutally hard to me, but spending an hour on a single card and then FINALLY clearing it is a great feeling. Just got the 66th clear required to unlock the final stage the other day, taking a break from it now. ISC was also a ton of fun, though I'm waiting until I get as close to 100% as I can reasonably achieve in StB before going all in on Double Spoiler.

Patchouli is still my waifu though, but if ZUN fucks with Psyche too much, I'm hopping on to Aya's wacky mind.

Looks like the furthest I can get before a continue is stage 5 in SA. Satori makes me wastes a bit too many resources, somehow and stage 5 finishes me off.
Still, the game is damn fun with Marisa B. I also think this shot type is much more appropriate for the whole game than most others (well, Reimu A is still number 1 but that's many because it's fucking OP). I also found Satori's cards much easier with Marisa B than the others, just gotta practice with it.

I just don't understand her bomb. Is it an equivalent of Dream Sign? Because I find it to be particularly weak and the invulnerability window also seem to be pretty short.

Each ring is its own mini-bomb that does a certain amount of damage, so you want to try to get close before using it. The fact that it doesn't move with you is definitely Patche's biggest downside.

As for Satori, she's not too bad as Patche. You should be able to do the first two cards, and then just bomb through the last one because fuck Philosopher's Stone. Going into stage 5 with low power isn't ideal, but it's better than dying.

I use my little finger for shift (tried ring finger as well but doesn't feel as good to play in general), middle and index finger for z/x. Does anyone really tap fire outside of PoFV and older CAVE games? In any case it's not even tapping that makes it uncomfortable, but holding, releasing and then holding again. So far StB has been the worst offender in causing strain.

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 14 18:59:23 2016 No.15970658 >>15968519 Or you could change the keyboard controls to something more comfortable for you

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 14 20:15:03 2016 No.15970951 >>15970365 Try rebinding that side to QWER with Autohotkey. Use your ring finger for Q (Shift). If that doesn't work for you, buy a genuine (no retrolink bullshit, not even once) USB Sega Saturn pad, on ebay for examle. Or an arcade stick.

I hadn't played danmaku Touhou in a few days, and I know I've been declining in skill. Normal mode just can't be completed by me, even with continues. Mind you, I used to challenge Lunatic often, not because I would win, but because it was fun and I felt growth from it.
What do I do? It's really heartbreaking to have less capabilities than I had before, especially when I take pride in my skill.
TL;DR: I am lesser than me a few days ago. I hate it and want to cry into a normal pillow because I'm not worthy for a waifu in my opinion. I want /adv/ice.

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 14 21:44:39 2016 No.15971183 >>15971172 Thats weird. I stopped playing touhou for months, and when I came back I performed exactly the same as before. It was at my stagnant inability to progress in L1CC's, but it was the same.

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 14 23:02:51 2016 No.15971434 >>15971172 stop being bad

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 15 00:26:36 2016 No.15971652 >>15971434 I wasn't bad before, I frankly hate it too.

Just get back on the horse, man.

I spent a long time trying to 1cc Great Fairy Wars on any route. Built up a lot of skill, then decided to take a break and attempt to beat Ran. That didn't go well, and I went back to GFW only for my skill regarding that specific game to have declined. I was heartbroken, but went back at it and tried again. I got as good as I was before, and eventually got that 1cc.

Don't EVER give up, anon. No matter how many people tell you to stop or skip or whatever, never give up, always try again. If you make your pursuit relentless, you WILL overcome.

Also remember that your first 1cc will be the hardest. It took me a year of on-and-off attempts to clear EoSD, and then when I moved on to SoEW (I wanted to go back and play the PC-98s before I got too comfortable with Windows, it was a good move) it only took me a month. LLS and MS were kind of wonky since the former is relatively easy and the latter is relatively hard, but when I went back to Windows I was knocking out games within a week of each other, until SA and its difficulty spike fucked my shit up. Once you overcome the hurdle of your first 1cc, it gets easier.

What game are you trying to 1cc, by the way?
