after a boss dies, bullets stay in the screen for a while so don't let your guard down until you are in the menu because you can die during dialogues

Why is everyone talking about LoLK all of the sudden?

[Anonymous No.]

who else /stage1hiatus/ here?. I can cap the difficult spells easily but can't pass through stage 1 without dying. the best solution I've come is just play another game or play another stage in practise mode, but at this rate I'll never get my 1cc.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18725202
Unless you literally just started and are trying to find out how to beat stage 2, consistently fucking up at stage 1 means you should take a break and relax. Try again in a couple hours or the next day. Built up frustration can make you suck really bad.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18725245
No. I can do every other stage without dying except for stage 1. It's probably me being tilted or just over confident. I also try to graze the shit out of everything.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18725276
Then just die on stage 1 and perfect all the others for your 1cc you idiot

All choke are embarrassing, what kind of question is that?

Losing a good run to something hard like PDH should not be as embarrassing as losing a good run to, say, Junko's first non.

That's hardly a choke then, is it? It's just a mess up.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18726986
Let's not argue semantics, okay? Not right after the last thread. If you don't think you can compare the embarrassment of one "choke" - however you would like to define it - to another so as to create a well-ordered set, please feel free to ignore the question.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18725276
Just try to take it easy. There's no need to super optimise your stage 1 anyways. You can even bomb on them and it's usually fine.

In fact if you're more confident in the later stages you can probably just bomb multiple times on stage 1. I did this with SA and I got the luna 1cc pretty quickly anyways, a lot faster than for example IN in which I did try to always do stage 1 really well but kept resetting because of it.

>I can do every other stage without dying except for stage 1
Then die on stage one. You've clearly gotten enough mastery in the game to 1cc easily if you can do it without dying. When I play HSiFS and die in stage 1, I don't care because I know I'll still 1cc even on a bad day, so just don't worry about it, man.

streamers are attention whores who just play easy scrub bait categories like EoSD and UFO LNNN

[Anonymous No.]

Finally Normal 1CCed SA for the first time ever! This time I survived on Okuu's last spell long enough to finally beat the game and even captured Orin's last spell and Spleen Eater (which is actually not a hard spell, it's just long enough to fuck it up). I like this 2hu because every stage is challenging, though MoF-style bombing makes it easier than it should be.
At least now I have stage 6 practice unlocked, as Okuu's spells (especially the first one) require a lot of practice.
I guess it's time to 1CC UFO next.

>>18732054
75/75 No Item is really damn nice. Back to LNBs! UFO I hope.

rip friend. rng cards are cancer. but what about meister?

[Anonymous No.]

First time playing EoSD, my first 2hu (Actually dabbled with it for a few levels a few years ago but don't remember much). Who's the best character to play if I want to play defensively by not getting hit?

[Anonymous No.]

>>18733903
ReimuA I guess since you don't have to constantly sit below the boss? Also ReimuA has a relatively easy Patche fight atleast on easy/normal in my opinion.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18733903
The best defense in touhou is offense as the faster you capture a pattern, the less time you're having to spend dodging. MarisaA deals the most damage from a distance, ReimuB ties or possibly edges her out by a small margin if you're capable of sitting close to the boss. MarisaB is a bit weaker but has a bomb which essentially lets you skip a lot of Spell Cards and ReimuA has weak homing bullets which can be nice for stage sections but not so much for bosses and her noticeably weaker damage often forces you to dodge extra waves of boss patterns.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18733903
As >>18733943 said, ReimuA is indeed good for what you want. You can also try MarisaB when you get used to the game, since she has a very powerful bomb.

when you are about to die.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18734766
As >>18734823 said, you use bombs when you see you're about to get hit. When you get hit, the bomb count resets which means that if you have bombs with you that moment, they get wasted. So don't hold back, but be careful since you also waste bombs if you use them carelessly.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18733747
I died twice to meister on that run, but I honestly think it's one of the easier hard patterns, and definitely the most fun one, it just takes a huge amount of practice to get down to a consistent level. My favorite spell in maingame.

[Anonymous No.]

As a scrub who hasn't been played for more than a month, doing this feels good. After bouncing between Flandre and Ran the past week, I am glad I managed to beat one of them.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18735112
Completely agree with you.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18734766
Bomb whenever there's a pattern that looks threatening and you don't expect to survive it. Being liberal with your bomb usage will help get you into the habit of using them and as you get better at the game, you won't need to rely on them as much so you'll be able to conserve them for moments when you are actually capable of recognizing when you're going to die to something.

[Anonymous No.]

after playing HSIFS more, sure Marisa is the best shot for survival but I'm tempted to move Cirno in front of Reimu for 2nd.

Cirno is the 2nd best Winter after Marisa, because she can keep firing when she bombs which means she doesn't lose stacked lasers. And her bomb has the most damage potential due to shotgun.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18735532
Cirno's just good fun to play.

Slowly moving in one direction to repeatedly misdirect bullets that are aimed at you. There's also restreaming where you make a quick movement in the direction you're streaming to cause a gap in the bullets that were trailing behind you, so you can start streaming in the opposite direction.

at what point should one move on from normal to hard? I've 1cc'd all the games on normal, some of them with several different characters, yet I'm still having some trouble with MoF hard. I can get to stage 6 usually without having to use any continues, but then I cant get past there.

do I just need to practice the shit out of it?

[Anonymous No.]

>>18736832
Whenever you want to try it. I made the jump to Hard right after beating my first Extra, which was after clearing my first game with every shot type. Got my ass kicked for a while but after enough practice it became no different than playing Normal.

Touhou is the kind of game you need to be calm to play, but that in addition to my hands twitching (not a nervousness problem, my hands are eternally like this) and having no tolerance for failure just does not make for a good experience.

>>18766058
I like to look at it the other way arround. The game teaches you to keep calm and to tolerate failure. It shows you that this is the best way, so you have motivation to learn. I have a condition that I like to call "half of ADHD" and I manage to get better and better, so why wouldn't you be able to.
Statistically speaking, after every unusualy good performance there will come either average or unusually bad one, there is no going arround it, it doesn't depend on you. What is important is the general trend, are you better now than you were a week, two, month ago? Small losses are to be overlooked. Patience rewards in the long run.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18768639
I suppose you're right, when I look at how many hours I've actually spent playing, it's only been a few days or so. In that span of time I have seen an improvement in how I think and act, most of my fuck ups come from either not knowing the pattern well enough or just personal mistakes, which are probably what pisses me off the most, however if I can look past that like you said then maybe things aren't so bad.

Playing reimuAutism breeds nothing but autism and regret and is harder in almost all facets of eosd. I can't envision a single thing she does better than the other shot types in normal, besides having a bomb that deals enough damage to end a pattern along with a shotgun (which is major I guess but just use MarisaBitch so you don't look completely retarded.), better power collection by a couple seconds in stage 2 and having a relatively ok patchy. Everything else about reimuA is far below that of the other shot types, with the exception of MarisaA, in where I can't say much about normal because I've never played her on normal, but who has a much harder patchy on lunatic. Be the wise man now and either use ReimuB or MarisaB as they have better power, have decent patchys, and in the case of MarisaBitch, has a much better bomb. also so you don't look retarded

Or don't play embodiment of standard deviation and play something like mof or pcb, supposedly it's known for the little rng it has compared to other games in the series

guide to patchy regarding what could be easiest spellcards for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkkwYd6Wjj4

He also has the rest of the eosd normal 1cc guides if you look past his tasteless videos. MarisaB and ReimuAwful is universally regarded as having the easier patchy's (unless you're being a retarded troll), but test and look to see for yourself. But I advise using MarisaB or ReimuB due to their overall power, the slight help in patchy using ReimuAutism is outclassed by the other shot types in the stage 3 fairies, sakuya and remi performance. MarisaA is known for her especially difficult patchy in normal.

If anybody haven't tried Neko Project for the PC-98 games then I suggest you do. Smooth fps makes the games ALOT easier . I need to find myself a CRT monitor just for this.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18813346
You have plenty of time to move out of the way, just keep low and dodge mostly in one direction, one which will lead you to a safe spot quicker of course. They are aimed, but you can totally ignore that and still be able to do just fine. I know I did. If you have problems with dodging the small bullets and the big stuffs at the same time, that's an abillity that just comes with experience.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18815708
Your Stage 4 route is a bit strange in certain parts. All of three-pronged stuff is aimed and can be streamed easily, so the first half of the stage shouldn't give you any issue. Also, with the section where they come out in lines around the screen, you can have a route that takes care of them all while moving around the bullets, where instead you just crawl up the side. Ultimately you only use one life and bomb though so it isn't that bad? You mostly just shit the bed on bosses. Like comparatively your midboss Meiling death cost you the same.

I recommend trying to dodge vertically more on certain patterns like Meiling's last two cards, because dodging vertically can let you evade the bullets while also keeping you in line with the boss. More generally, hugging the very bottom is something you'll eventually have to stop doing because it limits the directions you can dodge in. This is largely why you get stuck on Patchouli's cards.

To start off I've been struggling to 1cc normal mode for a while now and after picking up Shoot the Bullet today, I feel like I know my problem which is with stamina and fatigue.

I think it's normal to take breaks on the latter half of stages, to take a breather for focus rather than going through it all with 0 pausing and wondering why my run died with my careless mistakes at the end.

Also, runs can be quite tedious in the beginning, but not thinking about the start and not taking it seriously (enough to not die carelessly) makes it seemingly go by faster for me. I like to think that my runs actually "start" on stage 4, and take it a bit more seriously onwards.

I did no-bomb categories like normal, hard, lunatic (don't psych yourself out, goes for stuff in general), extra, as well as extra-boss no-miss no bombs. No focus is supposedly good for control of your character as well, but I haven't bothered.

Playing for score is quite something, so you will likely need someone to help you with the tricks. It's incredibly difficult to copy paste score strats as opposed from copy-pasting from a multitude of survival replays from my view, though I admittedly haven't even done score runs yet.

You do it for quick power so you can get to full faster which lets you accumulate the power item value and POC faster I guess, but this has no real place in a survival run since it really just wastes a bomb.

random sa stuff learned this weekend (probably old news):
--r-c has invincibility frames when transitioning from unfocused speed to aya speed.
--dying to yamame's hitbox after her last spell ends causes the game to crash.
--kisume's huge bullets from her spell will not be cleared if they spawn right as she dies. i assume that this and the previous bullet apply to all bosses and to mof/ufo as well (same engine), but i'd rather not test to find out.

another sa discovery (probably more old news): a bomb used during the first second of a spell won't damage the boss or count as failing the spell (just like a bomb used toward the end of the previous spell/non). a second bomb will work as normal and will count as failing the spell. bombs always work on nons even if they were used during the previous spell/non.

makes sense: it allows the player to capture a spell despite bombing a split-second after the previous attack ended, which is fair since bullets aren't immediately cleared (and would be nice regardless since reactions aren't instantaneous). wouldn't have guessed that the window would be a full second, though.

Try to get through high-mortality-if-unlucky spellcards without attacking just to get more used to them.
Use continues if you don't yet. Ignore impossible-for-now moments and return there later after other games / difficulties. The «Impossible» place can get surprisingly easy after there steps

ZUN should be announcing his next game in a few days, right? I wonder if it'll be a main title or a spinoff.

I always you don’t have it in you. Give up Anon. At least you tried.

Idk, not expecting much this year. If we get lucky we get some music and if we're really lucky he might announce a spinoff game.

Would love to be disproven by ZUN though, of course.

the next main game should be next year or the year after.

I'd only expect a spinoff game announcement this year. ZUN used to be doing near-yearly releases, but since he got married and had kids it's slowed down to about one mainline game every two years.

I'm perfectly fine with that, honestly. Gives me more time to get to a Hard or Lunatic level before the next game hits.

UFO: 2009
TD: 2011
DDC: 2013
LoLK: 2015
HSiFS: 2017

The current year: 2018

That's not to say nothing will happen this year but if something does happen then odds are it'll be a spinoff like ISC (2014).
