Marisa feels really bad in UFO though I haven't tried exploiting her laser damage bug yet so maybe that makes her better? but she's solid at worst in every game after.
I'm still not sure why ZUN thought she needed to be so fat in post-windows games.

yeah, her fat ass is a problem, and you have to plan around her molasses bomb speed for tricky ufo collection areas, but like the other anon said she does still have decent dps. i've recently l1cc'd with all shots besides shortwave, and for basic clear purposes i'd put her as a little worse than but in the same tier as needles, well behind frogs but still quite good. the homing shots and their bombs are weaker, so i found clearing with them to be significantly harder (and destroying a ufo with reimu homing with other enemies onscreen is a fucking ordeal).

i tested the laser quirk on lfs and it reduced the cap time from about 51s (normal focus) to 46s (unfocused), edging out needles by a second or two and behind frogs by about 6s. so it's not really a game changer, there's no bugfix for it, and you might accidentally activate it at some points even if you're trying to avoid doing so (and you definitely would if you weren't thinking about it), i think it's ok to use. but ymmv. clearing with harder shots is good enough for me.

>the only fight I really struggle with is Shou
Well I mean yes, that's a big issue.
Though in general I find that UFO really punishes shots that can't cover a ton of space. Sure, lasers are good at a few things like breaking UFOs, but with how much the bosses can move around it can feel like you're not dealing as much damage as you should.

>>24832683
TD Marisa is good, you can basically get a free trance just for bombing in a boss's face which is nice. LoLK Marisa isn't broken which puts her in the bottom half of the roster, but that doesn't maker HER bad persay.

Winter Marisa aside, she actually benefits greatly from the sub shot system thanks to pretty much every non-winter shot covering her weaknesses rather well in some regard.
Summer Marisa is probably at the top of my comfiest shot type list of all Touhou shots.

>>24832680
I agree with >>24832684 and >>24832678 here. The only time Marisa didn't feel very good to me was SA (the only straightforward/gimmick-less shot type was MarisaC and it didn't really feel that good compared to all of Reimu's types) and PCB (she wasn't bad but I never felt like she was particularly strong either). I love piercing lasers so I don't see a problem with MarisaA in UFO.

[Anonymous No.]

>>24854799
>SA
I actually like MarisaB the most in SA. The different shots are very good for stages and there are some interesting ways to maximize DPS with them for bosses, like using the back shot on midboss Parsee. The red shot leaves a lot to be desired though, and the blue/green shots can deal more damage to bosses if you're close enough to them. Plus, the bomb is powerful and you can stand on bosses at 3 power with the green shot to deal massive damage.

>I don't see a problem with MarisaA in UFO
MarisaA becomes more of a nuisance to use when you're trying to do more serious survival runs. When you're doing spells with glowy fireballs like Greatest Treasure and Good Omen, they blend in with the glowy options in front of you and bullet visibility becomes a problem. Lasers are really good for killing UFOs though. I'd say she's the third best shot in the game for survival, behind ReimuA and SanaeB, although they're all pretty close.

What's the deal with the H/Y meter in Imperishable Night? Seems like it's designed to just lock you into using one firing mode or another, which is a strangely arbitrary design choice.

[Anonymous No.]

>>24901464
You can switch to the other end quickly by timing when you're focused or unfocused, and killing fairies with familiars or when the flood of time orbs comes to you after capturing a spell. Grazing in youkai mode, even as a human, will still give you time orbs.

It's not important for survival, but knowing how it works is essential for boosting point item value for score.

[Anonymous No.]

>>24915267
I disagree. The gauge system is what differentiates IN from every other bullet hell, and the wiki's IN gameplay page explains everything. We could make it so grazing increases point item value no matter what in PCB, but that would make it a less interesting game.

[Anonymous No.]

>>24917518
As far as I understand it, when you're full H, you score time orbs by shooting enemies, and when you're full Y, you score time orbs by grazing.
To reach full percentage, you have to fire on enemies using regular shot, or focused shot for a few seconds. Switching to the other shot decreases your bar.
So, in practice, all this makes me want to do is not switch up my shot style as regularly as I would, because it reduces my scoring.

Got this recently. It's my second 1cc, I had a lot of fun learning the game.

Thanks! I was worried I would die at Red Magic, but I pulled through.
I'm working on PCB right now and the patterns are tougher than I expected, they're a lot denser than EoSD so it's harder to read all the bullets of an attack.
Thankfully there's also a ton of resources, but I'd rather not abuse them too much or else I'm sure I'll have trouble in SA or other games with scarce resources.

You won’t ever have another game with the stinginess of EoSD save for Ten Desires, which is easy enough that it’s not a big deal. Even SA lets you bomb quite a bit. But you have a nice mindset, it’s good not to rely on bombs until you really want to clear. There’s no point in skipping patterns if you just want to practice
Also PCB marks a turn in the series where the games become more about memorizing complex patterns than arcade style simplicity. So while the patterns will generally get denser and more involved, there’s often a consistent way to handle them.

About a week of tryharding every night for Mokou, plus 3 days to master the stage and Keine because I can't stream while stressed

That's pretty fast for a first extra. Good job!

How is any press C to win game stingy with resources? With Marisa or Youmu, using trance on any boss lets you skip two attacks, and bombing while on the boss erases the attack and fills up your trance meter quickly. Go watch any TD scorerun and see how fucking retarded it is with all the resources you get.

Apologies, my knowledge of TD is basically nothing since after I got my blind normal 1cc I never touched it again. I just remember not getting much resources, I may not have even realized the trance mechanic existed

It's not nearly as generous for casual play.
I get 4 extra lives when I play it. And this is with me using trances to get extra resources, not for survival - I would only get 3 extra lives and perhaps 3 fewer bombs if I saved my trances to skip boss attacks.
In comparison, EoSD gives you 6 extra lives, if you get all the score based extends.

I don't know what you mean by "not nearly as generous." It's not like the game just throws you less resources if you decide to play casually. The difference comes entirely from routing, which you should be doing in both kinds of play, and your route may simply be less efficient.

>>25002895
I get your argument, but most people who play TD do not use an optimized route. Perhaps a better way to phrase it is that "TD doesn't feel nearly as generous to casual players compared to how it is to people who follow optimal routes".

Nice to know that only TD has much harder to get resources, I feel better about having to bomb through a few more attacks than EoSD.
Not strictly gameplay related, but I think I love the Prismriver Sisters. Their fight is fun, their music is great, and I like their designs. Their stage is annoyingly long though.

Stage 4 is where I fell in love with the entire series desu. The way the music syncs with the gameplay, the beautiful and abstract visuals, the colorful patterns all the danmaku made. The stage is pretty arduous by touhou standards but learning it was really fun, the first time in the series I really had to think about routing. Very satisfying when it goes right

I love the music and how it syncs to the stage, and the end when the music loops is kino
Part of the reason the end is so good is probably because of the length of the rest, but the first part just starts to feel slow once you've gotten used to the rest of the stage. It's still my favorite stage in the game, though.

>>25003251
what is even the distinction here between casual and "optimal route" people, fags who don't bother routing vs. those who do?

[Anonymous No.]

>>25054281
The difference between a scoring route between a casual route? The scoring routes will suicide just to get trances at the right time. It will bomb for spirit as much as possible, and also suicide to refresh bombs. It's a completely different game compared to casual and survival play.
This makes the game "generous", meaning that you get 5 extends instead of 4, and probably a bunch of bombs more than the casual route. You do get a whole lot of trances, though, so you don't have to dodge that much between the trances and all the bombs. All the suicides to refresh bombs and trigger trances will still make the game very punishing when you actually have to dodge, though.

[Anonymous No.]

>>25058496
then why don't you casualfags just do the same thing? it's not like you have to dodge anything difficult either way like the last bit of stage 5, futo's first spell or miko's penultimate; if you have 2 lives left by miko then you don't even have to care about dodging anything but the last spell
