Would taking a small break after stage 3 risk taking me out of the zone and just messing up more then continuing onwards without stop? I can nail down stage 4s and onward in practice but am still struggling to truly string a 1cc run together in one straight shot.

UM should've had an uber rare Chen card that gave you 9 lives.

[Anonymous No.]

>>35051396
Cute, but considering that Mokou was priced at 450, I don't see how anyone who would need 9 lives would have over 1000 gold to spend on it. That is, if you're good enough to get the money, you wouldn't need the lives, and if you needed the lives, you wouldn't have the money (or would game-over before getting it).

I think taking a short break between stage can get you out of it rather easily desu, that's why people can't get behind adding stuff like long cutscenes to shmups.
It's similar to if in a rhythm game, you just kind of stop and take a break in the middle of a map. Most of your momentum goes away when you resume.

[Anonymous No.]

UM's stage 4 pisses me off. It's all bullet puke and you can't even learn most of it because it's rng based rather than static or at least aimed at the player. There's no trick to it. Feels like the whole stage is designed around projectile clearing cards and isn't meant to be done normally.

[Anonymous No.]

>>35058929
It's important to get a feel for the trajectory the gohei and slide launches the ball at. What I do is switch up my moves a lot since some panels are easiest to hit with one or the other. After most of the panels are gone I start mixing it up by throwing ofuda at the ball after launching with the gohei or slide. For bosses, remember that the small white bullets can be cleared by your ofuda and gohei. I found a lot of boss patterns could be managed by standing still in certain areas and spamming my gohei.

Additionally make sure to grab as many of the point items as you can, as missing just one will reset their values and they give you lives pretty often when at max value. Also if you're aiming for a 1cc then Hell is much easier. Good luck!

Does Youmu E's damage bug effect her focus and hypers? I just beat it with W and O and wanna know if I should try to Eagle.
Also Mayumi is the easiest stage 5 boss. Even Futo is harder than her.

[Anonymous No.]

>>35063951
I don't know precisely, but I'm pretty sure it only affects her normal focused slashes. In any case, I 1cc'd Normal and Extra with her and it wasn't much worse than usual, so yeah, just go for it.

with Youmu, sure, but she's hellish with the other two

Do you guys play the games on Lunatic? I wanted to play every game 1cc and possibly on the hardest difficulty but Lunatic on Embodiment is filtering me so much. I think I could do it on hard, but I don't want to be a shitter. Also, what are the best touhou fighting games? Are they still being played?

[Anonymous No.]

>>35067766
Lunatic is obviously a good goal to strive for, but personally I don't think thre's anything wrong with starting on Hard if that's what you can do right now. You don't have anything to prove to anyone else, it would only be "being a shitter" in your own head, so it's entirely up to you.
As for the fighting games, I don't play them, but I believe 12.3 and 15.5 are the two that are still active.

[Anonymous No.]

>>35067766
>I don't want to be a shitter
Being a "shitter" is entirely a mindset. The vast majority of achievements in this genre can be achieved with sufficient effort alone - and touhou lunatic is definitely no exception. It will take some people longer than others, but the greatest indicator of success will always be willpower. Whether through luck or through practice, I guarantee you that you will get your clear as long as you put in the hours. Just be prepared to fail, and fail often. The better question you should be asking yourself is not if you are capable of doing something, but if its something you truly want to do outside of whatever you think doing the run will prove to you. Learn to enjoy the grind.
As for the fighting games, I don't play them but from what I have seen touhou hisoutensoku is the most popular and widely played game. /vm/ should have more information to help you out.

I've tried a few times but I haven't got the 1CC yet. I'm the same anon who posted >>35063189. I managed to clear EoSD's Extra twice within the span of less than 24 hours. idk why but EoSD has become easy enough that I can capture Flan's first four or five spell cards and save my bombs for the second half of the fight. I still suck at all the other Extra except for Raiko in a way.

I don't see it.

I tried to find a replay on youtube where someone clears these parts without bombing though them, which almost everyone does. There's no-bomb lunatic Reimu commentary one where someone straight up says they'd rather buy power than a life after Sannyo t just to get through the opening of stage 4 and that the whole stage is a death trap where you need to get lucky.

And from my own trial and error, the x position of yin-yangs at in the opening section is random while projectiles are random in some 140+ degree arc towards the player. Sanae and Reimu are manageable but Sakuya or Marisa have no chance to clear them all, especially below 4 power, if RNG decides they're to spawn more to the sides than roughly in the middle. And since spawn point of projectiles is above the yin-yang itself, if any of them survives they'll keep spawning shit even when the yin-yang is already well below the screen. I like the game but this stage is ass.

I had the same dark souls mindset when I picked up Touhou, ultimately it's a single player experience and how you enjoy it is completely up to you. Bruteforcing lunatic is doable and very rewarding though it's much easier when you already have the mechanical skill. Plenty of people can't clear the games even on normal so it's not like getting a 1cc on any difficulty setting "doesn't count" (except easy lmao)

And why do you think Challenge runs on LoLK are easier than what you listed? Also, is this only talking about Lunatic?

[Anonymous No.]

>>35120602
Yes
Below lunatic, LoLK NBs are definitely the hardest though - mostly because you dont get as much lives. As for NNN and HNN, I can’t say - not many people do that
Difficulty is just the sum of all individual stage portions, nonspells and spells that you have to dodge and for the runs I listed the aggregate difficulty is either as high or higher. Of course the shot types being garbage matters a lot, but I think it’s a sign of LoLK’s balance that it isn’t *that* much harder than the other games even though it is definitely harder if you assume best shot type is used in all cases

[Anonymous No.]

>>35120664
Also, I thought SanaeB and MarisaA were good shot types

[Anonymous No.]

>>35120741
They are good, but UFO is a pretty difficult game, so small deficiencies matter. Many people would argue all UFO shot type LNBs as being harder than LoLK LNB, though I think it’s close enough that it’s just a matter of preference

>>35121832
Marisa is generally a harder character to use in most Touhou games.
Her speed is more of a detriment to newer players, having a larger hitbox is a big thing, and the fact she doesn't have anything homing means its much harder to deal with stages.

Marisa is better suited for when players are confident enough to do stuff like shotgunning and being able to make use of the entire screen.

sorry anon but I can't and I take back what I said, I completely forgot both how the Easy fight went and about her third spell which filters me hard

I still stand by Normal being harder though, at least for me. I find reacting to the fast non-spells much easier than combing through the slow-moving density of Normal's, the first timeout spell is a lot less predictable with the randomly spawning stars, her third spell will give me trouble either way and I cannot for the life of me capture her second spell on Normal whereas Lunatic's is fine as long as Clownpiece doesn't camp the left of the screen.

I haven't taken the time to try and clear UM's extra mode. What is the best starting deck you've found? I thought that Remilia's fang was pretty good to deal with the mini-boss quickly, but I think Byakuren's card is actually a waste of space since you don't really want to have stronger bombs in the extra mode.

Yachie and Shiki's card are great for Extra because you get so much money from the stage and don't really spend it on much, it's like having 5 or so automatic bombs that don't make the EX Boss go into immunity mode

Byakuren is theoretically useful for reducing cooldowns if you pack active cards, but I never ended up using it in any of my clears.
Remi+Sannyo, Raiko+Sumi, Alice+Sanae(snake), all good combinations, and I'd also pack Mamizou or Megumu along with any of them so that inevitable deaths during the fight don't leave you crippled to the point of uselessness by the end.

does anyone have any advice for how to deal with orin on normal? i can get past her, but usually she drains me of resources so badly that i can only get to okuu's second-to-last spell

[Anonymous No.]

>>35154573
just practice okuu instead, she's honestly a lot easier so you're gonna waste less time by learning to deal with her with few resources instead of having to learn orin
also it's kinda hard to give advice if we don't know which cards/non-spells are killing you, especially because most of her attacks play drastically different from one another

Is there a lag for Sakuya A's bomb in DDC? I swear, three different times did I push X before a bullet hit me but i still died.
I got all the way to "You Grow Bigger" too... But the two other lives were lost before that so it wasn't just me not knowing the hitbox well.

Some keyboards don't register keystrokes if you are holding too many keys at once (like Z, Shift, Arrow keys and X)
I have to let go of shift and arrows when I want to bomb although I've heard you can remap your keys with third party software to something that works.

Yes, the base game shouldn't, but supposedly the version you can download in Moriya Shrine should have an installer that adds translation, higher quality textures and the visible hitbox. Though in the site it does say the hitbox could conflict with the textures.

Finally started to farm PIV with subseason release properly, had two more lives in total than before that run but still lost to Okina's last spell (2/3) like a retard because I was too stubborn to just bomb and lost 3 or 4 lives with bombs in stock. Took me two misses + two bombs after continue to finish the run. Then my brain shut down and I kept dying on stage 1.

[Anonymous No.]

>>35179021
Interesting, I played it with thcrap a couple of months ago and it worked perfectly, yet I tried just now and got the same crash. Whatever went wrong was probably introduced in the 2021-05-27 build, which seems to have made some major changes. However, I don't see an issue open on Github, so perhaps nobody involved is aware of it yet? If I had an account, I'd open one myself. The relevant data from the log seems to be:

Pardon my newfaggotry into STGs (and 2hu as a whole). I cleared IN normal back when McRoll was the shit and recently decided to play some 2hu. Currently trying to beat EoSD on normal without bombs because I feel like relying on bombs on normal won't help me improve dodging stuffs for playing on higher difficulties. My biggest problem right now are China's second spell card(colorful rain something), Patchy's non-spell spinny laser thing and everything Sakuya(including mid-stage). Watching replays would be nice but thought asking here would be more fun__. What do, 2huchads? Do I have to memorize how to play against certain cards or will I be able to eventually just brute-force with reflex?

Trying to no bomb your second 1cc ever isn't recommended at all. I've beaten EoSD Normal on all shots and I always press X on colorful rain because fuck that shit. The closest I've ever come to a NB run was a few days ago on UM with Centipede Sakuya.

My problem is that most of the time I'm already dodging something that's right above me, and when the pause is over I crash into the very bullet I was trying to dodge because the game took control from me. I did end up beating Eiki with Cirno though, I don't know who to try out next.
As a side note I've noticed that in the later stages it's better not to constantly be firing, and to relax for a second to reduce bullet density.

Save Sakuya and Tewi for last since they're the hardest

Are there better point devices besides using a mouse? I need any kind of crutch to make LoLK easier.

You mean for doing your full runs? It doesn't make any difference for gameplay, but I've heard rumours of it making your replays vanilla-incompatible, especially for the earlier games. Personally, I wouldn't risk it.

Why wouldn't it be, do you want to upload your replays to online scoreboard?

I had a lot of fun with HRtP. It's not that hard either if you just bomb spam for lives during the stages.

I thought Sakuya would be an easier character to play because of her aimed bullets. Guess I'll keep alternating between Lyrica and Mystia for the time being.

Offensive capabilities don't matter whatsoever in story mode, the only exceptions being Medicine and Aya who can actually break the AI. Sakuya has an unwieldy focus box that can easily make you corner yourself if you're not careful.

The AI sometimes flubs because of its inability to account for streaming the knives, but overall it doesn't have much trouble dodging Sakuya's attacks the same way a player does and that's pretty much all she has going for her. Unfortunately, she has a bunch of flaws to her as well
>her time freeze from level 2/3 spells cancel bullet clears which means a level 3 only clears as many as a level 2
>and sometimes if you get a free spell 3 from combo right as you cast a spell 2/3, the extra time-freeze will cancel out your bullet clear and cause no bullets to be erased
>scope is awkward to control and leaves her accidentally proccing a lot of spirits, combined with her special trait making spirits not move up can cause hard to clear spirits that will shoot at you from dangerous angles
>level 1 attack is almost pointlessly weak and only used to clear the troubling spirits mentioned above, sometimes not working as they aim for another target instead
>trouble getting combos and producing so few pellets with her charge 2 spell means she gets very few points and thus not enough score to gather lives in story/extra mode
basically she's a heavily flawed character that goes all in on offense, something that the AI really doesn't care about
but hey, at least it means you don't have to fight her

I always make sure to get the bad ends with Marisa only and the normal endings with everyone else.

I haven’t had any issues at all and my replays all work fine in vanilla. I’m just wondering if there’s anything besides the cheats that would make a run sus
>>35260415
Not really, the runs aren’t that impressive, I just take my achievements very seriously and like knowing that I can finally put a grind to rest
