/jp/ itself is sort of like a giant Touhou General. There should be an STG thread .. somewhere, if you want to discuss gameplay.

Unlike /v/ or /a/ etc you need learn to use all 15 pages here; 1 out of every 4 or 5 posts on /jp/ is saged and so a lot of ongoing discussion is invisible to the front page.

For things other than gameplay, look around for other kinds of threads etc.

I've got some time to spare 'ere.

So throw me a question or two, or if you want a replay of how a specific stage is done, I can provide you one.

Magic team of IN? Durr, if you really want to do it on magic team, not marisa solo, then I'd suggest learning nonfocused gameplay. As Alice is..... not good.

Of course, the youkai exterminator (Reimu) is harder to humans, since her "balls" (yin-yan orbs) tend to whack some ass during the noncards for normal level players. So during that stage, focusing is the thing.

Or you always CAN use Final Master Spark, pay 2 bombs, and kill the lolnoncards, but that's the easy way out of it, and you don't want to use it, right?

>> No.7860466

>>7860453
Trying to get all my 1CCs with Marisa, don't really care for Alice. Reisen is kicking my ass and I need to practice her, honestly not have too much trouble with stage 4 against Reimu anymore. I'd appreciate some help with what I'm doing wrong on Reisen but I need to sleep badly and don't have a replay on hand, thanks for the offer though.

>> No.7860471

>>7860466
I can provide you with a Stage 5 replay. Or some specific spell card tactic if you want to. It will take a while, tho'. It's been a while since my last IN Normalmodo, so I may fail on some of the pattern-spells due to moving to wrong point. Tho' I'll check them on the spell practice 1st, shouldn't take too long.

But I'll go for the easiest playing on the replay, not the scoring mode, as you probably want to 1CC before hunting Last Spells or graze, rite'?

Also, sleep well. ^_^

IN 1CC with Marisa and Alice down, got to Eirin with 5 lives remaining and thought I was going to end up like >>7860325 with about 4 lives for awhile but then Eirin put on the hurt. Did really well on Reimu and Reisen capturing a bunch of spell cards and many I hadn't before this run.

Anyone have any recommendations on the next step after beating pcb phantasm decently? Should I 1cc the game on hard then lunatic or is there another game slightly harder/just as hard as PCB I can try? I tried UFO and I think that's too big of a leap in difficulty right now.

If you have really been playing for a year, even if you haven't practiced in a month, there is no excuse for you not to be able to do IN on Normal. Also, MoF is the easiest extra by far. Even if you don't get it on your first try, it shouldn't take you more than a few days to get it back. I don't know what your problem is. Maybe 東方 isn't casual enough for you. Perhaps you can ask >>>/v/ for a more appropriate game.

My hard drive died and along with it all my high scores and replays for various touhou games.

I'd beaten Suwako, Koishi, Nue, and Mamizu, as well as 1'ccing each flagship title on normal or harder.

I have the spatial awareness to play it decently but I really can't be fucked to redownload and go back just yet. I guess all the time spent and sunk into touhou has worn me out to a point beyond giving fucks.

At least I still have an attachment to Koishi, as well as a very cute giant Reimu.

Ehh? Last Words are only available in Spell Practice, they're unlockable trough achieving different stuff.

E.g. for Yuyuko's Last Word (card 221) you have to complete the game on lunatic difficulty, using continues is allowed for it, tho'.

Last Spells, the ones you need to unlock in the game-portion trough gaining enough time points (or trough gaining enough card captures for Mokou's one), I have all open in the practice mode, yes. But I still lack some captures off them, probably going for those next. - It'd be fun to do them with Youmu solo unfocused aswell.

In other notes, I'm continuing the Last Word capturing project.

For today, Youmu fans like me get something fun, Youmu vs. Youmu!

http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=15963

This one wasn't as easy as it was when you could focus - given the fact that Youmu's unfocused speed may surprise you and get you flying into a bullet.

I had to actually learn the slash timing a bit for this run, as the sword-slash's hitbox as well (so I could abuse it - giving me more time to stream before having to turn as Youmu follows your movements). I think I'll try to timeout this one unfocused after having the rest of the Last Words done.

In my whole Touhou career, I've been using a 60hz LCD with a resolution of 1680x1050. I've been playing the games windowed at 1280x960 . I used sizer for the older games.

I recently went to a garage sale and got myself a 120hz CRT from 2003 for $3. I ran UFO on full screen mode to see what was the difference. It was absolutely amazing. Every single last bullet looks as sharp as it can be. On my LCD, it looked like a blurred blob. Every last bullet very clearly defined.

Fast attacks like Kogasa's nonspells or Ichirin's last non-spell really stood out. What once looked like nothing but a string or a blob, was now a real collection of bullets. You could see the individual bullets right next to each other. There were many more cases of this.

The whole game felt much different and easier to me. I am in no state of mind to be getting and lunatic 1CCs right now. Even when I was exhausted, I got very far into Byakuren, with very little effort involved. I didn't beat the game and I may have been lucky, but I think that this is evidence that CRTs may be better suited for these kinds of games.

I feel exhausted right now. I'm not really in the mood for playing. This is the last thing I am going to do before taking a big sleep. When I wake up, I'm going to get my next lunatic 1cc, I'm sure of it. It almost feels like cheating, to be honest.

Agh, my head hurts from playing Fairy Wars extra for hours. The stage theme is so amazing, but Marisa's isn't really...
On the bright side, I did go from not having seen it at all and dying on the stage, to perfecting the stage, hitting Marisa with 650% motivation, and getting halfway through her survival, so I guess that's neat.

Didn't even realize it was a survival until I noticed nothing much was happening, though. Fairy Wars's spell card denotation system is really weird.

I want to quit, but I know that my compulsive personality will never let me. I know that I'll be back in five minutes(if I'm lucky)no matter what I do. I have to beat this game. I thought that ReimuA was supposed to be an easy shot-type. I don't know what's wrong. I keep getting to Byakuren, I keep getting my hopes up, but then it gets crushed. I keep trying, but I can't beat her no matter what I do. It's one thing to fail and try again, but it's another to have the 1cc in your hands, and then have it crushed in front of your eyes, by your own stupid mistake.

http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=15984

It's fuck-up, after fuck-up, after fuck-up. I knew that it wasn't going to be easy. I knew what I signed up for. I never wanted it to be easy, but this is something more.

I don't know if I'm playing it wrong, if there's something wrong with my computer, or if I'm just screwed in the head.

This game is my favorite in the series by far. I still love it, and I can't play any other game just like it. What I really like about it is setting goals and beating them. Ever single new 1cc takes all of my skill, luck, and practice, and puts them together into something that I only had a tiny chance to do, with every factor combined. Every last 1cc is the result of days, weeks, or even months of intense grinding, hoping that if the stars align just right, then just maybe I will be able to beat it just this one time. Then I get to train until I can do it in my sleep.

My goal is still to beat UFO Lunatic 6/6, and I'm not going to stop until I get it, no matter how long and painful the road will be.
I'm just a little stuck.

Of course, it has been proven over and over that controllers can be used for great runs, but all of the good players that I know of use a keyboard. Few people actually use controllers. I've only ever used a keyboard for all my lunatic runs. I couldn't imagine anything else. I think that I might consider using it for unfocused runs, but I would have to check that.

Personally, I think you should just use a keyboard.

I just got to Okuu on Normal with MarisaA with 6 lives remaining, screwed myself over on a few of her cards by panic bombing and reducing my power. Made it to Hell's Artificial Sun and died a bit into the spell by just stupidly moving to the left when there was a bullet there with me, I blame it on the gravity I'm not used to but I sure felt stupid.

I hope that you can learn from this. Also, since replays sometimes glitch out on SA, refrain from speeding it up until the end of stage 5 and after. It's an annoying bug.

>>7900229
>Why's that? Marisa A's not really that much different from Reimu B, though a bit harder to see on stuff like Superhuman Byakuren.
I think you meant ReimuA. I personally think that they are very different. They look similar with their shots and bombs, but I feel much different when using each of them.

The dodging attributes of Sanae and Reimu, to me, feel a lot closer to each other. Marisa seems to stand out. I love her speed very much. I used to play the strongest as Marisa, but that changed as I started lunatic. I wanted to take some time to get used to Marisa, and only Marisa, so that I wouldn't have to go back to Reimu. I'm going to be doing MarisaA/B at once, so I wanted to separate them.

I still have more time clocked on Marisa than Reimu and Sanae combined even though I haven't played her in forever.

I love my precious Marisa.

I like your way of thought. Are things dead yet? No? THEN IT'S DOLL TIME.

And wow, Heaven and Hell Meltdown completely wrecked your shit. I have no idea of how to do that one, but as everything else in Utsuho's fight I believe patience is the key, so... try spamming a few continues, or getting all those lives again so you can fight her again, then try focusing more on surviving than dealing damage to her.
Also, on Ten Evil Stars or whatever the fixed pattern spinning sun card is, there's a sweetspot - or rather, row - just between the bottom suns and the ones right above them. It might take a little practice to get it right (or a few replays), but once you see where it is that card becomes a lot easier. I find it more fun dodging everything, though.
As lastly, if I'm not mistaken, on the last card Utsuho pulls you at the same speed as the red bullets, so don't worry about them too much. Focus on the wall of little white bullets in front of you, then move back after each pass of those walls.

...Now that I think about it, someone who's never 1cc'd SA on Normal such as me most likely isn't the best source of tips, uh.

I only watched the final stage. It's hard to give you any specific advice, since you didn't really do any patterns wrong outside of running into bullets.

The way you use bombs offensively is stupid. Pic related, that shit needs to stop. You are much better off using them defensively instead of spending all your power at the beginning of a pattern, only to be defenseless and have a horrifyingly weak shot for the rest of it. MarisaA is pretty much useless below 4-5 power, and she has one of the highest damage outputs at full power, so take advantage of that instead of doll spam.

I want to be able to say something other than "stop sucking", but there aren't really any secrets to Utsuho outside of that safespot >>7900781 mentioned. SA is a game of not moving, or only moving slightly because just about everything is aimed at you. Don't panic and you should be fine.

Have a replay that probably won't help you with anything.

Cleared! Another 1CC down this one probably took the most practice by far. My god did I do horrible on stage 5, I ended up getting to Okuu with 5 or 6 lives and didn't think I was going to make it. I ended up getting to her Subterranean Sun with 3(?) spare lives and as always, beat it with the skin of my teeth.

Getting to the last boss with 5-6 lives is almost a guaranteed win on just about any game, with any difficulty.
You have to mess up pretty badly not to win with that many lives. If you can do SA on normal, then you can do any game on normal. Good job.

>>7903068

8 isn't actually very popular. Still, it would be nice if more people on /jp/ played it, since not too many people talk about it. Easy IN is just about as easy as it gets, especially if you have played schumps before. Doing a no miss clear on Easy is hardly necessary, and would probably annoy even a lunatic player. I would just advance to normal, and then later the extra stage. A lot of people say that IN extra is the easiest, but I really don't see it. I think it's in the middle.

There is no reason to reset when you have plenty more chances to mess up even harder, or to redeem yourself. There are a few specific times that I look to decide if it's worth it to keep going.

I find it hilarious how unforgiving Byakuren's final spell card is, since bombs deal no damage at all to her and almost don't clear any area (even less than in Utsuho's final card).
And then ZUN goes and gives that thing to Miko. Poor little girl.

I honestly don't see much similarities aside from the opening.

The worst thing about Byakuren's final card is that if you DARE bomb, you lose all the flow you had going and end up colliding with a second bullet.

I happen to like Alice's shot-type in IN as well since her straight-forward shot-type is useful for getting good at the game. Also, she's arguably the best solo character for the Extra stage along with Remilia, since Mokou takes extra damage from Alice's piercing laser.

Extra damage? Never heard of this, now I'll proceed to try solo Alice against Mokou.

>Oh god, that is a feel that I know. It's incredibly aggravating when you do really awesome on one run, then mess up somewhere early on.. get mad and restart, and then gradually get worse and worse over the course of an hour.
As ReimuA, I had a no-miss stage 1-4 run, where I had a perfect UFO route and did near-perfect on the bosses. I then got wrecked so badly by Murasa that I didn't make it to Shou. Patience is one of the most important skills you can have with this game.

Marisa? I thought that was Luna Child. And why is it so pixelated?

I think VoWG is the worst for that. Bombs actually do clear a lot of the amulets, but there is usually a wave left over. The most important thing is to get into the rhythm, which is different for every shot type.

Her braid is the most telling sign.

Nah, the best solo character for IN Extra is Youmu.
Because it's Youmu.


Also because she can take down Hourai Doll before the straight red shot lines even start to fire, but that's sorta incidental.

>>7906468
Eh, it's basically just Mt. Ooe / Kogasa's one Extra midboss card ver. 0.5.

Neither of those are nearly as thick asYamato Torus. They don't have the bullshit hitbox of knife bullets either.

Yeah, but they're a fair bit faster.
I will concede the dumb knife hitbox, though. Them crosspieces...

How about Scarlet Gensokyo? You can bomb every single bullet away, but Remilia just fills the screen in mere seconds after a bomb.

Yeah, and, that card keeps ruining your rythm because of the random walls you may get shot at you.

Not having uploaded anything for a while, I decided to pull a no-focus Phantasm run off PCB.

There's nothing special in this replay, I'm forced to play on my secondary computer that is NOT the best computer to play Touhou on.

Was able to finish with two bombs left in stock (lol), but I'm not really satisfied with this. Mostly because of I did not capture those 8 cards on Yukari that I usually do. So yeah, I feel I can do better and I'll try again someday.

Meanwhile, you can watch this replay, laugh at it for a bit and comment on my glorious failing a bit. (I'd give an A+ to some of the deaths, they're really awesome in terms of failing with easy stuff you should never fail on even with your eyes closed.)

The "best" part of the replay is definetly at Yukari's Spiriting Away.

Can anyone help me with a problem with EoSD that I've been having? I'm trying to play with over 60 FPS, but whenever I leave the menu screen, the FPS drops back down to 60. I know I've seen it done before, so does anyone here know how?

Currently working on SA normal after 1cc'ing all other windows games on normal (except EoSD). I seem to do fine in practice mode on stages 4 and 5, but when attempting a 1cc run, I always seem to freak out and stupidly lose a bunch of lives on those stages... maybe I'm just not bombing enough - I always attempt "Flying Insect's Nest" and "Border of Wave and Particle" without bombing and die at the last second.

Eh, decided to do a no focus run myself. The only problem is that it didn't end up much different from any other Phantasm run since I spend a majority of my time unfocused anyway.

It was a decent no miss/bomb run, but I broke a border shortly after Ran because I wasn't paying attention. I'll share the replay upon request, but that mistake, along with other cherry timing mistakes, makes it somewhat embarrassing.

>maybe I'm just not bombing enough
If you're dying with 1.00 or more power, you're not bombing enough.

>I always attempt "Flying Insect's Nest" and "Border of Wave and Particle" without bombing and die at the last second.
With Flying Insect's Nest, you should be able to see yourself getting trapped from a mile away. Just don't get clipped by the tails of lasers or something. As for BoWaP, it's static, so after you get a feel for it, you should be able to calm down and capture it every time.

I don't need a replay - especially if it's for Reimu (I - suck - with Reimu and I'd like to learn to play it by myself, not by watching some other player's replays)

That's some nice no-miss you've got there, anyway. I'll give a try for Reimu B, let's see how far can I get.
