I will use the not gameplay thread for actual gameplay, because there's nowhere else (reasonable) to talk about it.

I started playing toohoo for the first time a few days ago and 1cc'd EoSD on normal but extra kicked the shit out of me. Dunno if I should try and throw myself at it, a hard 1cc honestly seems more within reach. It's either that or I just move on to PCB, even normal EoSD has some cards which I just do not understand how to capture consistently because they seem very random, and supposedly 7/8 are less rough around the edges in terms of design.
Maybe I'm just shit though.

>1cc'd EoSD on normal but extra kicked the shit out of me.

So far I'm finding my extra run to be pretty easy, but when i did my normal 1cc no bomb my health totally shit the bed.

[Anonymous No.]

>>42640955
Anon I used 15 bombs, the difference between a no bomb normal 1cc and a 15 bomb normal 1cc is quite a lot.
Every stage after Cirno has some random attacks which can give really bad patterns on all difficulties, green books and Sakuya's green knifes come to mind. If you take my numbers literally and assume I would've died at every bomb I'd have died 23 times compared to the 10 lives or so total you end up having naturally on normal.
Obviously it was my first completed full game run, and some of those bombs were done out of being overly cautious, but doing a NB 1cc would still require basically playing doubly as accurate. The weird rank system also theoretically comes into play where the less you die and bomb the more projectiles there are. So don't sell yourself too short.

I used to go to /v/hu threads last year when there was still a decent amount of gameplay discussion. Nowadays I go check threads every once in a while and regret it every time. ZUN really needs to release 19 so there's something to stimulate discussion.

>>42642170
>For the good ending, beat Kaguya (6b). You're not allowed to continue on the stage.
>For the normal ending, bear Eirin (6a), with or without continues.
>For the bad ending, run out of time.
Generally you don't need to worry about hitting the time thresholds. You'll reach the end before you run out of time on every 1cc run.

Looks like they are trying to make the dialog more interesting, they are also adding Yumemi as an extra boss. However it's been almost 2 years and they haven't released these changes, so i don't expect them soon.

I've tried a few 90fps runs a long time ago and they aren't a huge step up from regular Lunatic. If anything, it teaches you to use your resources more effectively since some attacks become virtually impossible. Luckily, Touhou gives you a ton of resources.

It's one of the things that you just do over and over, until you're comfortable dodging them. There are no tricks for it, as far as I know.

[Anonymous No.]

>>42727645
Play defensively. The AI will only choose to die after hitting a particular time, ~2:30-3+ minutes for later rounds, so launching attacks is a wasted effort. Exception to this is Round 1 Shiki who can theoretically go forever, if you go into Shiki with no extra lives and no hope of an extend just restart, you have to pay the toll. Save your meter for either level 2 attacks, exclusively to clear space on your screen, or level 4 to boss flip. Level 3 isn't worth the extra meter burnt. Before launching a manual boss attack, check the AI meter/combo to ensure you dont get instantly boss flipped for your efforts. Never bomb except for truly dire final hail marys, you're beyond fucked with zero meter. Best place to sit is below midscreen (except against Komachi, hug the bottom) since it gives you the most options to dodge and a level 2 at close to midscreen clears a large portion of projectiles. That basic knowledge should be enough to get at least a normal 1cc with some practice.

Naruhodo. I never considered that aspect too much.
I go with Marisa most of the times cause she "feels" best, her lv2 spell is very powerful(I think the one with most DPS?) and her activation area is very functional.
I just try to bruteforce everything cause it's fun to try to dodge barrages of mirrored bullets or try to use a spell at the last moment, it's not a very effective strategy though, it's not even a strategy actually, I'm pretty bad at it compared to other touhous. I've only cleared lunatic once cause I've got lucky with Eiki, and like more than 90% of my time on th09 has been spend on 1v1 matches against the AI just to kill time and practice random dodging.

God, I hate this fucking non so much. It's probably the thing I struggle with the most out of the entire first half of the game.

The gaps between the green bullets just feels too narrow.

I need to know whether what I'm doing is incorrect or not. Everytime I lose a life within the first 3 stages of the game (which is 99% of the time) I start over. Is this the correct thing to do or should I keep trucking through?

[Anonymous No.]

>>42821616
Depends on the game, but technically it's always wrong even if the run is practically doomed given the circumstances & what that lost life implies. At least you're maybe learning a thing or two about the later stages rather than spend 10 minutes for a hazardous shot at getting it right.
I'm not one to break my own shit habits as easily as simply laying out why playing like this is bad too so if that's what strokes your boat, keep at it that way.

[Anonymous No.]

Completely fine if you're doing NMNB

[Anonymous No.]

>>42821616
Depends on your game plan, really. If you want to perfect the first 3 stages, then feel free to reset. But if you're just going for the 1cc it usually doesn't matter. I've had runs where I got the 1cc even with mistakes on stage 2/3, but also had runs where I die to the final boss's last card and realize that a stupid mistake in the early stages caused me to not have the resources to finish the clear.

Touhou games are such that if your performance on stage 4-6 is solid enough, you're more than capable of covering for early mistakes. I think the only game I actually resetted for good early stages was UFO, since that game is very punishing and having a good resource buffer early on can make a world of difference.

[Anonymous No.]

>>42821616
If you're just practicing, then you shouldn't reset but instead power on just to learn more. If you're making genuine 1cc attempts, you should probably still at least try to keep going. I usually only pack it in if I fumble hard on stage 4 as well as a 3 miss.

[Anonymous No.]

I'm like 1 less mistake away from the clear. Hopefully I'll get it tomorrow.

I changed my mind about posting my review when 4chan died yesterday.

But for you, here's a modified short version:

First, yes, I've played some mainstream fighting games. You should at least first try to beat Street Fighter II World Warrior Arcade version, because that's kind of the standard fighting game.

You only need to 1cc up to Yukari, you can "Continue" when fighting Suika (she's treated as a bonus character), and you'll still get the good ending.

I've used three characters; Reimu, Marisa, and Sakuya.

Marisa is OP. Just use her if you're still having trouble beating the game. Her witch broom ramming move counters most spell cards. And her kamehame wave super just destroys. It's like playing in easy mode.

Sakuya plays like a zoner (I think that's what the kids calls it) she puts slow knives on the screen to limit the opponents options, her multiple knives slash super is not that good. I think she's a good choice when fighting real people to mess with their heads, but not against the CPU.

I main reimu because her heavy hadouken is really effective and I like playing as a shoto. And her energy ball super is really satisfying to use and not too OP.

[Anonymous No.]

>>42839295
I see, thanks for the tips. I've never played fighting games beyond sporadic casual play with friends so I'll give SFII a try.
Good to know I only need to reach and beat Yukari, I'm not too far off either.
Marisa's wave spellcard is called Master Spark, by the way.

[Anonymous No.]

>>42839394
Marisa plays like a rush down character btw. You want to use your Shoryuken all the time, then broomstick ram if your opponent tries to runs away; since she doesn't really have a projectile special move; that bomb move is more like a zoning move to force your opponent out of the corners than a projectile move.

vpatch takes away some of the input lag but the DWM is a different layer which adds some lag of its own, so the stuff on the video is still useful even if you're using vpatch.
DWM was introduced on windows vista, so any version of windows from then on (including 7) has it. It allows it to render the UI by using the gpu instead of the cpu.

Touhou 10 is too easy with Autobomb on.

I played a few normal session and I can easily complete up to stage 3. Then I turn autobomb on, and beat the game in one try.

Without autobomb, I could probably beat this in less than a week.

Yes, it tends to be the case that cheating reduces difficulty. I thought that was common knowledge.

DVoWG is kicking my ass. The first half is simple enough but then the waves start overlapping and walling me way too often. I'm not sure if there's any trick I can abuse or if I just have to reflex my way through whatever tiny gaps I find. It really feels like 50% of MoF is just building up resources for Kanako's final and the other 50% is actually clearing the spell.

Enabling autobomb in first gen can cut the time of you beating the game in half, which is still around a month, but here, autobomb is too OP, or it's probably just because TH10 is just too easy.

lol, no. HBCB and HPSI should be at the very top, PDH doesn't even come close. Requiem is somewhat understandable if you're using SakuyaB but it's still way too high.
There's some weird stuff on that list like RW and Lilies which shouldn't even be on there. Most things should be a bit lowered like CW, GT, and PWG (PWG is fine if you're using Marisa though). There's also MCT which the difficulty can be piss easy or bullshit depending on your shot
>Some of them like GT or HGS aren't ones most people usually think about, but are inconsistent as fuck.

[Anonymous No.]

>>42869810
If your biggest problem is mostly just ordering, it's not that big of a deal lol. The placements are off by a few votes and I think they were judging difficulty respective to the individual game, and games like IN, SA, and TD overall just aren't as hard as the rest. RW is the very last attack in the longest run and is pure RNG, and the RNG bullets at the end of a wave in Lilies can almost wall you. DBDB is the most dubious choice there imo.

>What the fuck do you mean?? They get mentioned all the time by survival players

>>42869870
Also I'm not sure if it's okay now, but people would often time out midbosses or skip attacks to not face them in an LNN. I saw this done a lot for CW and GT, and I think once IN Reimu's final.

[Anonymous No.]

Think there will be a new mainline game this year? UM was two years ago
oh god UM was two years ago already

[Anonymous No.]

>>42873303
It's personal preference. Try any of the Reimu shottypes in both aside from ReimuC in 10. MarisaB in 10 has a notorious exploit that destroys bosses if you want to have fun with that.

>>42874361
Most likely. If the release pattern continues, we're due for a trial within the next couple of months.

[Anonymous No.]

>>42873303
For MoF, ReimuA is probably simplest for initial clears. I've noticed enemies in 10 generally have low hp so the homing shot makes quick work of them. ReimuB is a decent alternative since it's just needle Reimu.

For SA it's a bit more tricky since the shot types are more experimental. ReimuA is closest to the usual needle Reimu so it wouldn't feel too weird to use. ReimuC has a very gimmicky shot but also the best bomb in the game, which allows you to cheese a lot of the run.

And got the ReimuB clear on the next run. It's always amusing how much of a handicap the more mediocre shots like ReimuC provide. It's a good way to force yourself to improve and it usually makes the runs with the better shots go much smoother.

That's the issue, they're short games but designed in a way that you have to spend hours to beat them. Hours to even beat the game with continues, then more hours replaying the game to beat it without continues because the extra stages are locked behind it, and you have to do this for every game.
