>>17301342
That's because anytime you play a game an "incident" happens. Meaning Reimu must move her lazy ass and go solve it. Scarlet mist, winter lasting way too long, broken moon, endless partying, flowers everywhere, so on and on and on.
Besides what they say to each other is just shittalk. Sakuya was supposed to be murdered by Reimu when you reach Remilia for example, next game she's running around shanking fairies trying to find spring.
It works like this, Youkai need human fear to survive, there's a few humans in Gensokyo, best way to gain fear is obviously to eat a few. But, there's Reimu, Keine, Marisa, village is protected, even Yukari does not aprove of killing too many humans. Kill 'em all, no fear for anyone, Gensokyo dies. So, in order to get some, youkai stage incidents with spellcard rules, made up by Reimu.
Example. Seija & Shinmyomaru create their little revolution, every human goes "oh no", every youkai goes "I'mma eat you", Reimu/others bust in and wipe the floor with the baddies. Spellcard rules meaning nobody gets hurt, humans remember "right, youkai are powerful, better stay out of their way", maybe go throw Reimu a few coins for the trouble, offending youkai spit out a few teeth and go have tea with Reimu, everyone happy until the next one.

So the entire thing is just one big play/scam to keep the whole show running? Okay, I can kinda dig that. Here I thought some characters like Wakisagihime were just straight up executed since they get no post-fight dialogue.

Not a scam, more like a "if you kill humans I'll exterminate you for good" deal. Reimu can do that. Gensokyo was created as a place for youkai to live in, see
>Kill 'em all, no fear for anyone, Gensokyo dies.
It's like youkai are wild animals, you gotta wrangle them. Not all of course.

Yes, although I wasted my trance during the stage so I couldn't use it on the fight. Regarding Ran the only hard spells imo are the last two before her final spellcard, you also get a lot of bomb drops or extra lives on the fight.

On my first playthrough I was more surprised by how easy Futo's fight was. Coming from Rin in 11 and Shou in 12 the difference is like night and day.
I also did a Hard run for fun and to unlock more Spell Practice and captured her final spell card on my first try.

>you get so little resources throughout the game without a lot of planning
There are one or two designated Trance spots on each stage. Spotting them doesn't take a lot of planning.
Even then, I can only speak for Normal. For higher difficulties it may be difficult to squeeze out every last resource, possibly involving close-range combat to gain more spirits for more Trance.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 10 12:48:49 2017 No.17303042 You get more Trance out of harder difficulties, so there's more actually.

I don't think Miko has some, or atleast I don't know any, but it's a pretty easy boss, the thing that makes TD more challenging is that you have to risk your ass going to the top of the screen to get the purple spirits, if you felt it was an underwhelming clear you should try Youmu and Sanae.

Youkai dont die in Gensokyo if they are cute. Also no one really kills anyone, its all just banter. No youkai actually eats human, its all provided by Yukari to carnivores like Remilia, which might as well be chicken.
Also Yukari made and rules Gensokyo.

Youmu does take some getting used to, but she was arguably even better for clearing stages than Reimu once I learned how to use her. In all regards a very fun shottype.
I'll save attempting the secret endings for when I get stuck on DDC/LoLK.

I might switch to Reimu-B then, I was just trying to make A work since Reimu was the only character I haven't beaten PCB with and I used B when I cleared EoSD Hard the other day.
Also posting chart because I realized I haven't done it yet since said clear.

There's no practice patch for MoF and I can't do Mishaguji-sama for shit. So I can either play the entire damn extra stage over and over and over again just to get to that one damn spell or forget about MoF extra altogether. Great.

All I really need for now is to find the way past keine which doesnt involve just smacking her with 3x last words.

And I've got the idea of the first 3 down for now- dodge knives, try and go through the spin at the same time you redirect the knives -> keep the phoenixes out of the way -> find a good vertical position and sidestep like you've never sidestepped before.

Really it's probably not the best idea to go for an EX stage with like 2 normal 1ccs under my belt but I like IN and MoF gets frustrating at times as it feels like the bullets are harder to see in it.

Is anyone else working on their first lunatic 1cc? I remember the last time I asked this an anon was working on pcb. I wonder if he ever got it. I've been working on EoSD on and off since mid December. I burned out at least twice trying to get it. The last break was because I got tinnitus. I didn't think I'd play again but that was 3months ago and things have gotten a lot better.

I've started playing again a few weeks ago and I feel like I can maybe do it. I mean I can do it on paper. I have plenty of resources. Before my last break I made it to scarlet gensokyo at least once and now after the break I feel I'm playing better than I ever was. So I should be able to do it. The question is when.

Also I've started playing the picture games with the goal of improving my skill to make my 1cc easier. I think I read somewhere that they're good games for getting better. Which I can see why. They're extremely hard.

I remember playing StB for the first time a long time ago and my first impression was this is weird and it sucks and I never played it again. Now that I'm better at touhou in general I'm having a blast playing them. I still suck but not as much as I used to. So far I got 22scenes in StB and 18 in DS cleared.

The Phoenix card is ridiculously easy. At the beginning, go on the extreme left or right and not completely at the bottom of the screen. Wait for the phoenix to be shot, sidestep. Dodge the following by sidestepping again, then side step once to enter the safe zone between the 2 phoenixes. Do it again the other way around. Don't forget to misdirect the first phoenix each time to give you enough space to dodge.

Except DDC's stage patterns are designed to allow you to POC with good routing, whereas UFO's are instead designed around having to manage grabbing UFO tokens and canceling with good routing, not caring much about needing to POC.

I've been working on SA Extra the last few days, and it finally clicked in my brain/muscles how to handle Koishi's two criss-crossing heart spellcards, so I've made a lot of progress. Aside from wierd accidents in the stage portion my attempts are pretty consistent.
But now I've just reached her survival spellcard, which was a huge brick wall. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for this one, it's particularly long, and the multiple phases make it rather complex to get used to.

For the first two parts, get comfortable with maneuvering through the small bullets and memorize the movement of the roses since they always move in approximately the same way. For the last part, my preferred method is to stay around the center and move with the squares up and left when the roses are to the right of me, and right and down through the walls twice (two sets of two walls) when the roses are to the left.
Not the easiest card to explain with text. Just refer to any of the dozen NMNB runs on youtube.

I'd recommend it, people say she's the easiest Extra boss and I'm inclinded to agree. Once you get good at the stage portion it can be extremely consistent, and Koishi's patterns are more based on memo/understanding, rather than pure dodging skills.

My question is, which Extra should I go after now? I've already got Yukari, Suwako, Mamizou, and now Koishi down. I was thinking of doing Nue but if anyone has a suggestion I'm listening.

All I can say about those, is to just focus on dodging horizontally, and if you're making any vertical movements, make sure you don't let it push you backwards/forwards. For Release of the Id, her first one, you want to be high on the screen, while Super-Ego you want to be lower on the screen. The tricky part of Super-Ego is readjusting your brain to read the bullets coming from below your character rather than from above your character.

What I do to manage Trance, is shift my pointer finger from the bomb key to the Trance key (standard keyboard layout; move it from X to C) whenever my Trance gauge is full. So any reactions I have to bomb are instead spent on Trancing.
Because almost any instance where you would want to bomb, Trancing is just better, and freely refills itself as you continue playing. The only exception is the Extra Stage where you might want to save a Trance to get through a tough spellcard, since bombs don't damage Extra bosses.

Well, I finally beat Alice in PCB Hard without continuing and got to see Stages 4 and 5, and goddamn PCB is a lot crazier than EoSD on Hard, it's not how I was expecting these attempts to go given how they play on Normal.
Youmu is hard enough on Normal, and she might still be doable on Hard with a good character, but with Reimu's damage output it's almost unbearable. I guess it'll help me git gud quicker at least.

Do well on the early stages and youre allowed to make a shit ton of mistakes. It's easier than a lunatic 1cc as well thanks to the timer being way shorter than normal, and eikis timer going down to like 20secs. The main thing about pofv ex is to score the first few levels for lives (keeping your combo up for like 20-30 secs isnt too hard, and you can spam level 2's pretty easy on them) then just play normally. Good luck anon, I know you can do it!

Stage 4 felt the same as Normal for me, the Prismriver Sisters however do get tough, I think Stage 3 is the easiest of them all on Hard and Youmu with Stage 5 is the real deal, when you manage to beat her with enough lives you pretty much have the 1cc on your pocket.

No, I did one almost complete run initally, using up all my continues and dying to You Grow Bigger.
I then practiced stage 4 because I found that one had the worst difficulty spike. At the same time I practiced all the spell cards I did unlock until I cleared them at least once or twice.
It wasn't meant to be a serious run, if I had known or even imagined I was going to get that close I would have practiced the stage beforehand.

Eiki is really hard, but you should be living longer than that with that many losses. She gets easier as you lose to her (caps at like 3rd loss I believe?) and surviving two minutes is not too terrible. Her difficulty comes from all her things starting to stack together (same as all other bosses, but a little more extreme for Eiki) so the first bit should not be bad at all. As with all the 2hu games, practice more and it will start to come easier.

Goddamn I hate Reimu's DPS, I will never get used to it and attacks last so long because of it. This is a replay of my best attempt at PCB Stage 4 Hard so far. It's the only time I have ever captured Lyrica's first nonspell and the Prismriver's final spellcard but I still got fucking BODIED with Lyrica's solo spellcard. If anyone's willing to look at it and give me advice that isn't "shoot Lunasa during the first spellcard so you fight her instead of Lyrica" because I'm stubborn and want to beat Lyrica since I beat Merlin and Lunasa on my runs with the other two characters on Normal I would greatly appreciate it. Reimu's homing makes routing kind of hard but the stage portion doesn't give me much trouble at least.

That makes sense, she didn't become easier on the other 2 fights, maybe I was relying on it a bit too much.

I've never bathed in this many resources before. I absolutely love this system, it feels fun and intuitive and very rewarding. Mysterious Purification Rod is also the absolute best rendition of Theme of Eastern Story of the games I've played yet.

There's probably a "proper" way to get into Touhou, but I believe for series like this that it's a more organic and enjoyable to just play/read whatever you like that's related to the series, and follow your curiosity from there.

Personally, I was thinking of getting into the series for years before I just picked up MoF one day because I was intrigued by Hina's design.

...Also it helped to have the en.touhou wiki open to learn more background information about the mythology behind the characters. That made it way more engaging for me.

They are susceptible because they have to believe that there is a real danger. If they believe it's dangerous and keep the fear, they don't have to actively enforce that fear by actually killing whoever goes out. It surely happens sometimes, but only just enough.
