I actually had more problems with the non before Lunatic Impact. The spellcard is bullshit at first but once you realize how it works you take more than half of her life before she drops the third moon and then it is quite manageable.

So I was playing Imperishable Night, and was surprised by how well I was doing. I cleared stage 5, but then I got a bad ending. I saw Eirin but didn't really fight her, and didn't see Kaguya at all. Anyone know what happened?

You continued too much and ran out of time
The game starts at 11pm, clearing a stage advances 1 hour (but capturing the last word only advance 30 minutes), continue advances 1 hour. If you reach 5am before stage 6's last words you got a bad end

You don't have to capture last words to get the 30 minutes advance, just fill the time gauge and you're good.

How do you get Yachie's Spirit after her midboss fight? The wiki says to graze 10 bullets, but that has never worked for me (not to mention is absurdly easy to graze 10).
Also is it just me, or is WBWC's Stage 3 bizarrely long and difficult compared to stages 4 and 5?

[Anonymous No.]

[Anonymous No.]

>>22175344
No, start with LoLK

[Anonymous No.]

>>22175344
Serious answer: it's a fine starting point, but I think you could do better. EoSD is overall fairly easy and straightforward, but has its share of weird design choices. For what it's worth, it's the game I started with.
I recommend LLS above all else, it has a combination of simple mechanics and easy patterns that teach the basics. Otherwise, MoF and PCB are a lot more generous with resources than EoSD and also have fairly simple patterns, though not at all to the level of LLS. Also perhaps consider MS: it's pretty similar to EoSD, both in good and bad ways, but I just find it to be a more enjoyable game overall.

>>22175282
Honestly, whenever you either get bored with it or feel like you're getting nowhere. I tried for a month to 1cc EoSD when I first got into Touhou, but just couldn't do it and found that I enjoyed other games more. You might find that a different game clicks with you better or enjoy the change of pace.

[Anonymous No.]

>>22175344
I started with Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, and I liked it. I would argue that it's the easiest Windows game to start with if you have played shmups but haven't played bullet hell games, since the patterns are more primitive. I haven't played the PC98 games, so I can't comment on Lotus Land Story, but another reason for recommending EoSD is that it is the first game that is still considered canon.

Played LoLK with a bro and this game is a nightmare. If I considered a point of concentration as my 100%, this game shoved me to 180-200% which is very hard to maintain. In most games one would start leisurely and would gradually focus increasingly until a certain point. This games says "FUCK THAT" and starts you off focused, while making you paranoid enough to just scrape by each chapter. I really can't imagine that game without Point-Device. What was your experience with the game?

P.S. Stage 5, ReimuA, Clownmeme's last spell.

[Anonymous No.]

>>22177231
I trust. Probably will start off with DDC and deal with the extras afterwards.

[Anonymous No.]

>>22175344
The reality of the situation is if you ask 10 different anons where to start, they're gonna give you 13 different answers and at least a third of them are troll answers.
EoSD is fine to start, the mechanics are easy but it is lacking many Quality-of-Life improvements that the later games have (no Retry option in the pause menu, no visible hitbox when focused, no Enemy indicator at the bottom of the screen, etc.).
PCB has a few different mechanics like the Cherry Point system but it's still very simplistic and imo the best one to start with.
IN goes even further with more different new mechanics but arguably the easiest patterns (and it has the best Soundtrack and my favorite 2hu, pic related, but thats beside the point)
PoFV is very different and not recommended as a starting point specifically because of how different it is (I said "different", not "bad").
Mountain of Faith is another good starting point due to going back to its simple roots.

TL;DR start with PCB or MoF.

I've been playing MS with Reimu for some time. Playing the Extra with her feels like a lost cause. Those card enemies are tanky as fuck. Mima on the other hand totally melts them. Does everyone else have triple Reimu's DPS in MS? Makes me kind of proud of 1ccing with her if so

[Anonymous No.]

>>22165780

[Anonymous No.]

>>22179249
Everything this anon says is true, but I would like to add that EoSD's lack of quality of life is not as big of a deal as it would be in later entries. Since the bullet patterns are simpler, it doesn't matter as much that your hitbox is not visible, and that there is no enemy indicator, at least for a normal 1CC.
I also don't think MoF is a good first 2hu: bombing drains your power, which means that you can't really bomb your way through the difficult final boss after having a good run.

EoSD is pretty challenging but not too the point where it's bullshit. It doesn't have gimmicks, it lets you focus on playing and getting better. All the characters and songs are great. If you 1cc EoSD, you are definitely ready for other games. I played LoLK after EoSD, and I had a lot of fun (and frustration too, but boy did my skills skyrocket).

I'm still at the final boss of Stage 6 with Inaba, and I absolutely agree, this game is insane. It isn't impossible by any means, however. I got to Clownpiece without using any bombs because everybody for me I would need them, but I ended up opting for doing a bombless run instead. I'm not good at TH at all, but I'm determined to beat it, and it made me improve a lot. It's just a matter of time. Sometimes the game throws in some insane patterns within the stages themselves, I spent more time trying to beat the falling bullets with stars in Stage 6 than any of Clownpiece's spells, those are the parts that I found most frustrating.

Is there anything in particular you're having trouble with?
Which shot types have you tried? I think ReimuEagle works well, she tears straight through every stage, allowing you to concentrate on the bosses. Don't feel shy about abusing Spell Practice, and then just Spirit and Bomb your way through the parts you don't feel confident you can survive. There's also no shame in bombing stages if it allows you to live.

Im having trouble with Mayumi in particular, i was playing ReimuOtter and hoping i could bomb thru it, but i keep being too greedy with bombs and end up just dying and wasting them anyways.
Ill try and be more liberate with my bombs

[Anonymous No.]

>>22183863
Mayumi is really hard with Reimu, she doesn't have enough firepower to reliably destroy the haniwa. Youmu is hard to use generally, but her focus attack absolutely destroys Mayumi. Marisa is middle of the road difficulty for Mayumi, but top tier with Eagle spirits.
ReimuOtter is a great all-rounder though, so if you want to stick with her, here are some tips for Mayumi:
first spellcard Archer Haniwa is not as bad as it looks. The blue bullets aim for you. The haniwa aren't worth destroying here, they respawn too fast.
Second spellcard, Fencer Haniwa. For this one I recommend trying to destroy the haniwa, because they'll try to go down the middle of the screen and are likely to slam into you. Take it nice and slow.
Third one is cancer with Reimu, destroying the haniwa closest to the boss doesn't help much because the ones on the edges spew yellow bullets all over the screen anyway. Maybe aim for firing a little left of the boss to destroy the haniwa spawning there, mostly so you don't get smacked by the haniwa itself as it comes down the screen. Otherwise just pray for the best, and bomb away.
Fourth spellcarrd Hollow Inexhaustible Troops. I believe the blue bullets are aimed at you, like in spellcard 1. I'm not good enough to give you much advice here. I usually just bomb it.
And lastly, congratulations on your IN 1CC!

[Anonymous No.]

>>22183863
For Mayumi's first card you can stay in front of her and move slightly left or down. Works until she shoots her own arrows but she would be low by then, with wolf shots you could capture the card before it happens

This art is soooooo beautiful. Take me back, anon.

[Anonymous No.]

>>22183842
Congratulations on the 1CC. I personally didn't find IN much easier than the other games, but WBaWC can be quite easy if you abuse bombs and spirits. Any difficult spell card, you can just bomb, and use the bomb window to grab spirits. Since the spirits last so long, you can save up spirits during the stage so that you have some extra floating around during the boss fight, although you don't really need to overdo this as long as you are good enough to build up lives and bombs during the first 3 stages.

When you spoonfeed people, before long, every retard has the exact same opinion. Things get taken as dogma and people stop experimenting and having styles. That's really secondary though, the big problem is that introducing more people to a niche, by definition, makes it less niche. The more popular something becomes, the more dumbed down it gets. Compare Dark Souls to Dark Souls 2.

In this situation you're talking about withholding information in order to gatekeep, so nobody would actually find solutions by lurking. You aren't wrong in saying it's the opposite of spoonfeeding, but it absolutely is signalling to conform. People should definitely be trying to find things on their own, but providing resources for them to do so ahead of time is exactly what stops people from having to ask to be spoonfed. Saying not to spoonfeed but also not to provide anything ever is backwards.

I'm glad we agree. There's no information anyone can give you that will make you better at Touhou that playing for an hour won't, anyway.

I get that you are bad at the game, and you probably come from some oversaturated field like fighting games or music or something that obsesses with "theory" and a single correct way to do things. It's not so with Touhou. If anyone came up with a "Touhou Theory", it would be a waste of time made by people trying to meme you into wasting as much time as they do. Which is what all spoonfeeders and theoryfags do.

But since you're so persistent, here is my list of Touhou best practices:
- You are a cute girl
- You need to shoot the other cute girls
- You need to not get shot by the other cute girls

Well, I switched to playing touhou full-time on gentoo instead of the mac. I got my issue sorted out with the Japanese characters. Don't know what the deal was, maybe it had to do with the fact that I tried downloading from multiple sources before I found one that displayed jap characters. Now I can play them all on gentoo with all characters displaying, but for some reason, the pc98 games go slower than the windows games. Probably because the gentoo machine is older than the mac, and it's trying to emulate an emulator.

Actually, on gentoo, there's another issue that doesn't happen on the mac. In th06, english text gets cut off (it doesn't display the whole message) in dialogue and when it shows the name of the song. Anyone else have this?

Sakuya's knives aren't really random, they follow certain routes corresponding to where you are when she stops time.
Midboss' spellcard is kind of the same thing except it requires obscene reflexes and routing for the initial kunai wave, other than that git gud b.
Remi aint got no random shit as far as i can tell-if anything about randomness it's the first three stages you should be complaining about. But what the fuck do I know I'm still trying to 1cc it with no success for a few weeks now, panicked and died to Remi's last spell card.

If you get to Sakuya perfectly, you are close. Learn to bomb. A bomb is only wasted when you die while you still have it. Don't worry, you'll get the hang of doing it without a bomb later if you want. What character and shot type are you using? I found Marisa B's bomb insanely strong and great for getting out of sticky situations.

Are you playing in full screen or windowed? I had problems with the text and songs running outside the window when running in windowed mode at a higher resolution. With Nouveau drivers, but I'm not sure if that mattered or not.
It could also be a font issue, I had similar issues with PoFV until I installed the Cirno font included with the english-patched game.

[Anonymous No.]

>>22202566
Play Marisa B for the godly bomb. If you can get to Sakuya perfectly (or even Patchy), you are definitely good enough to 1CC the game, if you just bomb everything you can't deal with. Are you getting enough score to get bonus lives? It's been a while since I played EosD, but I recall there being portions of Stage 3 and 4 (and maybe 5?) where you can get a ton of score if you can make it above the point of collection during massive waves of enemies, but it likely requires you to memorize where enemies spawn so that you can kill them as they enter the screen so that you can stay safely on top. The score from this could certainly get you an extra life, maybe even two.
If you still can't make it, just go through stage 6 and 5 in practice until you can deal with a larger portions of Remilia and Sakuya's attacks. Good luck!

Biggest thing is that it reduces the input delay. To the point that it makes you think "how did I even play this before?"

It was a bit of work/trail and error to get it working, but I'm glad it works now. Also something they don't mention in the guide is that it's a good idea to set your computer to a Japanese local, you can easily do this by going through the control panel.

Doing other shot types (Marisa A and Reimu B) should be easier than extra. I think the only place where I missed Marisa B's powerful bomb was on 'Eternal Meek', where you may have to bomb twice if you're not confident or get bad RNG.
Then again, you shouldn't always do something just because it is easy. Extra is a worthy pursuit.

try yuuka.

>>22238144
get your spell points to bonus then don't drop your chain. easier for some characters than others; usually only feasible on stages 6-9. it means dialing up the intensity, but that's always worth trying if you know you're going to die anyway (usually the first round of stages 6-9). usually worthwhile on any round against aya and yuuka since they're easy.

when you don't want to risk that, manage your spell points so you can promptly reflect bosses so you rack up boss bonuses. and, like always, try for large chains; spirits seem to add the most points. also, make sure you unfocus frequently so more fairies can enter the screen. for more see >>/jp/thread/18616057#p18651979..

medicine's ex attacks are more likely to spawn near you, so try to use more of the screen to keep them separated.

>>22242492
it's counter-intuitive. gains are almost always minor, too, plus there's always the chance that the ai reflects fuck all and you're just down 200k.
i take 2-3 hits on score runs, but there might not be any benefit beyond the first. and getting into 2hko territory can make the early rounds a bit interesting.
>>22243118
up to four fairy lines can be onscreen at a time. when you're focused, a new line will only spawn when all current lines are destroyed or leave the screen. if you unfocus, even for a split-second, another fairy line can spawn.
so you can still stay focused while microing as long as you get in the habit of briefly unfocusing whenever it's safe, ideally about once a second. and microing is when this is most important, since you'll that's when you'll most want those extra fairy lines to reflect pellets and open up dodging paths.

You need to develop a sense for where the stripes will appear, and get past the stars as quickly as possible. When you are late, try going right so you have more time to adjust. You should start as close to her as you can, move down with the lasers, and get through the stars asap. It is not a particularly difficult spell, but it's more difficult than her other attack like this when you have lasers coming from both sides, that one's her easiest attack.

When you move downwards with the lasers, you will end up in the lower 1/3 of the screen. When the lasers stop and the stars reach you, they should spread out enough for you to squeeze through. The gap between the stars is a relatively straight line. You'll get it, you only need practice, ganbatte!~

they made an english patch that requires you to make your system japanese?
oh well, guess I'll do it. Thanks a lot for the help

You don't need to set your Windows display language to Japanese, but there's a special option called something like locale for non-unicode programs, which is specifically made for these cases. If that doesn't work, try setting your locale to Japanese too, but I don't think that will be necessary. This is needed because Japanese devs love writing file names with Japanese characters, which makes all other versions of Windows go crazy.

The english patches work fine with the default locale, it's vpatch that bitches about it.

Yes, while it may cause trouble with non japanese locale it also fixes a bunch of other stuff.
You can always run eosd without it, but then you'll get unlimited fps at sanic speed or like a second of input lag.
Just run vpatch with the non-unicode setting set to japanese. The only problem I get with that option is the "\" being replaced with a Yen symbol.

>>22304144
Also, this >>22304117 should work without the unicode setting as long as the files in your EoSD folder are not random gibberish.

What the hell? This is the second time I've encountered it on Elly in a row. Looks like I can't play Reimu B at all. What a bitch.

I recall getting that glitch but I don't remember what fixed it. Different emulator, maybe?

[Anonymous No.]

>>22304570
I just played Raymoo B again and the glitch didn't occur. I'm using an unpopular emulator so that's a possibility. It's T98-Next. It's a comfy one and I like it even if it's the cause of this problem. Plus I just realized Mari A is fun too.

For th16 normal on stage 4 how do you beat the last part before the boss where the fairies use all the combinations of attacks used before. There's two different kinds of aiming bullets, super tight non aiming bullets and they do it twice.

>>22307625
just release lol

>>22307625
This part is hell, never managed to do it clean on my runs.
Which shottype are you using? With the winter sub at good power (autumn too probably) you can kill the green fairies while speeding from one screen's to the other before they become too much trouble. The red and yellow fairies' aren't too much trouble if you only move to the left or right. But then, the way I'm doing it, I'm boned by the blue fairies shots meeting the leftovers from the greens. Happens twice too, see webm.
Maybe, instead of trying to kill all greens asap, you could try staying on one side and kill both some greens and blues before they shoot? I dunno. Practicing this part is such a pain in the butt too, made me wish I knew how to write spoilerAL scripts.

>>22307625
Look up an LNNN run. You can use the same strategy for all the difficulties.
Or just release.

How do I deal with the chicken's non-spells? when i try to dodge the diagonal bullet line by moving left or right I end up bumping into the other bullets littering the screen.

There's no trick. You just have to be able to do both at once.

I made it to IN stage 6B with 5 lives on Hard.
1 death at the end of the first 2 fairies, got in the Youkai Kanji and streamed right, but it didn't work.
2 on the next section, didn't bomb because I wasn't expecting to die there.
Bumped into Eirin.
Bombed Eirin's spell but it fucked up the aiming (since Youmu moves up to slash) and I died when the bomb ended.

I can't even practice any of Kaguya's spells like this.

That's exaggeration. One of the hardest I would say.

[Anonymous No.]

>>22315019
What's your pick for the hardest? Because I've capped every spell in the series (sans Fairy Wars) and spring final is far and away the hardest one for me.

[Anonymous No.]

>>22315034
Not him but I have a worse cap rate on PDH. It took longer to get the first cap on HBCB, but that's just because of how much shit you need to memorize before you can even start trying to dodge it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>22315069
I don't know. Even now when I'm rusty as fuck I can still comfortably do a 10-15% PDH cap rate but my spring final history is something like 2/800.

What the fuck is up up with Tortoiseshell Hell? Both Chicken and Tortoise bitch are whack.
I enjoyed it though, make want to go back and pick up from DDC. Didn't like the music though.

It could be something not serious like pent up stress, something mid serious like a muscular strain or something very fucked up like some failure in your neuronal system.
First and foremost consult a physician, he should be able to point you into the right kind of doctor you need.

You're welcome, have fun. Unfortunately, EoSD is not straightforward to get to work at all, especially if you've never done it before.

Where does SA Extra rank among the difficulty of Extra stages overall? I've been playing through the Windows games in order and it feels way harder than any of the Extras that came before it, all of which I cleared with not too much trouble. I know SA overall is supposed to be one of the harder games, but I still managed to get the Normal 1CC in about a week, just with more practice than usual. The Extra though, I'm starting to think I might have to put it off until I'm better and just move to the next game

Then again I thought the same thing about Flan the first time I played EoSD and ended up beating her a few days later, so maybe I just need to grind more

[Anonymous No.]

>>22320022
In my opinion, you're exactly right, Koishi is ridiculous. Feel free to give it a week or however long you want, but she's definitely not even comparable to Flan.

[Anonymous No.]

>>22320022
SA extra is tough when you get started because a lot of the patterns are very gimmicky and screw you over fast if you don't know what you're doing but once you memorize it it becomes one of the easier ones.
