How do I get better at touhou games?
I'm playing EoSB right now and it's kicking my ass every time. I feel like Zun went apeshit on the amount of bullets on screen, though it's my first space shooter type game, I thought I would at least be able to beat it on normal.
Any tips?
>>315804517
I mean look at this shit
this isnt me but good god
>>315804517
Well, Embodiment of Scarlet Bevil can be tough at times, but if you just learn your fundamentals and get good at reading bullets you should be able to clear it.
>>315804778
think of it less as dodging bullets and more of reading the patterns and you'll be fine
>>315804517
What is this crap? Get out
>>315805057
its called a video game anon
get the hitbox patch
>>315804778
press X and it goes away
>>315804517
Bomb if you think that you will die.
Try not to die without any bombs
>>315804820thats a cute 2hu
>>315805397
Here have another qt.
You stop playing them and start talking like you have beaten it
Works for every other poster in /v/
Use Marisa B
>>315804517
Play Muneshihimesama Futari instead, or MAME games if you don't have money.
>>315805983
Or he could just pirate it
>>315806079
Is it pirateable yet?
>>315804517
Play on the hardest difficulty for a while and then go back to Normal
>>315805621
I wish this wasn't so true.
>>315804517
Presumably the same way you get better at anything else. Practice.
I just started playing the series recently myself. I generally suck at shooters, but I got through EoSD on normal difficulty without too much trouble. For me, at least, it mostly boiled down to figuring out what I needed to focus on at any given moment since there is too much crap onscreen to keep track of everything.
I can't even clear SA on easy, though. Rin slaughters me every time.
>>315805153
Such an excuse for waifufaggotry
>>315806437
touhou as a game is fucking beautiful
if you fail to understand that you're an ignorant retard
Its actually pretty easy if you stop focusing on the ammount of bullets and start focusing on the patterns.
The patterns don't really get hard until SA
Remember when touhou was all about /soku/?
>>315805983
Or, he can just play both.
>>315807591
That's not how the danmaku community works though. You aren't allowed to enjoy multiple franchises, you have to blindly cling to one and insist that all others are casual babby garbage.
Learn to stream bullets, it will get you far.
Other than that it's just getting good.Don't give up
>>315806437
Couldn't the same be said of any game that has cute girls?
>>315807591
I bet you are and idort too.
Get out of my /v/
>>315808091
That's how CAVE players works you idiot
>>315808091
I'm pretty sure that's the case for fans of certain games, that's usually how it works for any genre.
>>315808693
>Gorgeous portraits
>Shitty pixels in-game
>>315808091
Or you have to choose between other shmups or Touhou and deal with its fanbase.
I think that's how it works.
>>315808950
Good enough for what it is, the dueling mechanic is a side thing to the actual gameplay, I only really use it tokill faction leaders and take out heavy hitters like Yuuka.
which game has the biggest difficulty spike?
Not OP but furthest I got in ESoD was in Stage 6 with Marisa on Normal through shameless bomb spamming and setting my Life and Bombs to max WITH 0 continues left.Is there any hope for me to 1cc this game or should I move on?
>>315808125
Those freaking cords that connect the panties with the stockings always confused me, just what is their purpose?
>>315810331
die less
>>315810331
Use Reimu and learn to micrododging. Try not to spam bombs.
>>315810331
This can be easily done in a short amount of time if you're dedicated.
First off, don't have your lives and bombs boosted, that's not considered a 1cc and the later games don't have that feature. Now all you have to do is watch a couple replays on normal, do some practice on the stages without bombing and remember the parts you struggle with as bomb points.
Most of the time when it comes to being new is not having good resource management and wasting bombs, you fix that and you can easily clear most of the games on normal without much trouble.
>>315810786
I started spamming bombs in stage 4.
The difficulty just skyrocked there and it only got worse.I still wonder how people beat it on Lunatic.I also use marisa because of her speed,I try to manipulate how the bullets will shoot to dodge them more easily,but with no results.Is Reimu better for starters?
Use all of the bombs!
Is this the soku thread?
>>315810486
They connect to the belt not the panties. Look closer.
They hold the stockings up.
>>315811776
Some patterns in stage 4 onwards need you to find a gap between bullet precisely, especially Sakuya fight. That's why you need a slower character with small hitbox.
You can still streaming with Reimu since she isn't that slow, but micrododging with Marisa is more troublesome since it's hard to control her speed if you're still a beginner. At least that's how it went for me.
>>315812487
Reimu doesn't have a smaller hitbox in 6, that didn't become a thing until 7.
>>315812487
Also Reimu takes too long to kill when with Marisa the normal mobs and the boss are dead with a few seconds of focused fire,another reason why I prefer her.
>>315813531
Reimu's Needles actually deal more damage than any of Marisa's shots at close range.
>>315812487
Exactly
It isnt as cheap as marisa
>>315814280
>Man Marisa is super cheap!
>B-but I still can't beat the game with her
kek
>>315804778
Scarlet Shoot was my first nightmare.
>>315813862
I always chose ReimuA and didn't like it,sure she shoots homing shots so I can get sure hit on the opponents,but that means the opponent stays longer and I have to dodge more shit.Is ReimuB better?
>>315810270
Clearly EoSD.
The first 3 stages are way too easy.
>He still doesn't have a lunatic 1CC.
>>315815364
Reimu B is Needle Reimu, so yeah it does more damage.
Basically, it goes like this.
Reimu A is low damage, best range, good bomb.
Reimu B is high damage (highest up close), good range, worst bomb
Marisa A is high damage (highest at a distance), poor range, bad bomb
Marisa B is good damage, good range, best bomb
EoSD is fairly balanced, all things considered, it's not really like many later games where one or two shottypes are obviously the best (Team Borderor Solo Youmu if you know what you're doingin IN, Reimu A in SA, Marisa B or Sakuya A in DDC.)
>>315812014
What about that blue band thingy on her left thigh? What is that thing?
>>315810270
LoLK from stage 3-4, easily.
>>315816390
The jump from 4 to 5 is fucking bullshit. Sagume's a cakewalk in comparison to CP.
>>315816258
Am I the only one who find Ghost team broken?
>>315816810
>CP
>>315816985
Yuyuko is pretty good for cleaning up stages
>>315810270
For people just starting out, PCB 4, simply because of how ZUN wanted the stage to last as long as the whole music, so he repeats some enemy patterns a lot. If you fuck up once, you'll likely do it many more.
Otherwise, IN stage 4 is hell. Sucks that it makes it the high point of the game.
>>315816810
Not really?
>>315816258
Damn I was using MarisaB because of Master Spark,this bomb kicks ass,will give ReimuB a try to see if I like like her and finally finish this godforsaken game,thanks anon.
>>315817121
This.
She's not bad against bosses either, as long she's with Youmu, maybe.
>>315817135
Still among the best

Is there a fangame that combines CAVE patterns with Touhou
>>315804778
tfw the first time you realise this card isn't that difficult and you stop having trouble with it
>>315818543
Also how do you anons play Touhou?Since my directional buttons on my laptop are kinda small I use an Xbox 360 controller and it works fine but I have seen some anons saying the keyboard is better.Opinions?
What do you think about this list?
http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=53159
>>315818825
I think that it's shit and you're a faggot for linking it here.
>>315818730
Keyboard is better usually, but not for laptops. The reason is that, for most of them, you're unable to move in more than one direction at the same time. Sometimes you can't even bomb because you're pressing too many buttons. Stick to 360, though I personally like dualshock.
>>315818825
Kinda makes me wonder what they spend talking about all these years. Some of those companies haven't released anything new in over a decade.
But I agree with that number one.
>>315816985
At high level play, Yuyuko becomes more redundant than anything else. That said Team Ghost is arguably the least busted team.
>>315818730
Laptop keyboard is bad but any other alternatives are fine depend on what you're most comfortable with.
I just happen to be good with keyboard myself.
>>315819243
M. Futari and Battle Garegga are good but I think it doesn't really deserve 1st and 2nd place.
Crimzon Clover should be higher.
>>315818730
Whatever you're comfortable with is fine. I use an arcade stick with an oversized actuator.
>>315818559
CAVE doesn't have special bullet pattern or anything.
I only know there's Touhou Ikaruga and horizontal shmup like Thunder Faith.
>>315818825
doesn't bother me. Zun mostly makes his games for music, hell the guy can retire right now for all I care and I woundnt be upset.
>>315818661
>>315822495
Is 2hu a rhythm shump?
I shouldn't bump the thread.
>>315822591

But you're not cute
>>315818825
I'm surprised Ikaruga is that high considering it's kinda divisive.I like it
>>315823181
Exactly
>>315804517
You ignore looking at anything but the first 6 bullet spaces around you, then try and memorise the bullet spray patterns.
Your control improves, and you should be surviving off memory enough that your twitch reflexs will be good enough to save you this way eventually.
>>315822495
And waifus, that's all that matters.

Oops sorry, give me a moment.

They should actually delete the thread altogether.
I even got warned for making one earlier.
>>315826357
Now that I think about it, I'm not sure how I feel about Tsukuyomi being a little emperor in this game.though I bet ZUN would've done it too if he wanted to put the higher lunar characters in games.
>>315827181
Does the funposting really get that awful lately?
>>315826357
Both sound pretty rad, so I'll play both of them!

What's the better doujin fighting games? The 2hu ones of Melty Blood ones?
>>315830134
Fun games!
>>315830268
Melty Blood is no longer doujin m8.I like both
>>315830268
Both are casual shit filled with an autistic community, who take them very seriously because they're shit at actual fighting games.
>>315830268
I would personally say Touhou is more fun, but Melty is pretty defining for the Anime fighter genre.
>>315830434
Melty is closest to classic anime fighter than Arcsys, though.
Touhou is just for fun. I don't think anyone ever consider it "real" fighting games, either.
>>315830768
Touhou has a bit of a scene in Japan. It's just as dead as any other old anime fighter mind you.
>>315830768
>I don't think anyone ever consider it "real" fighting games, either.
Oh I know people who do. In fact, there's a whole channel full of them.

>people take ULiL seriously
How? Have you seen top level gameplay for that game? It's so retarded (although slighty less than mid-level gameplay).
It's like Tasofro asked themselves "how can we make this fighting game super memetastic and retarded but at the same time make it seem like it is a normal game?". They sure nailed that.
>>315831924
fuck off sokufaggot.
>>315830268
>>315830268
The 2hu fightan aren't technically doujin, as they are made with cooperation from the original creator.
They are side games, yes, but by no means doujin.
>>315826357
1 hour late but is the Moriya one connected to the last game with Renko and Maribel?
>>315831924
I enjoy the game.
>>315832291
All Touhou games are doujin. You do know what doujin means, right?
>>315832441
I don't actually have that one, but judging from it's trailer and samples I'd say yes.
>>315831584
That was pretty good anon. I liked your Sakuya and floating spirit finish with Komachi.

Yup GGs.
>>315832780
Darn, I guess I'll have to join another time then.
>>315832684
I'm aware that doujin means something that is done independant or self published works.
i'm just saying that it can't be considered doujin within its own series. Its not independantly made, in comparison to the rest of the series, because zun's still involved.
>>315831924
I just don't like ULiL because it's so much more dumbed down and even more unbalanced than Soku.
The stun and weird gravity mechanics just turns it into a game of circle strafing and fishing for stun lock combos.

Tasofro is doujin circle, though. So even if it's a collaboration it's still doujin.
And another fact is that it's sold on comiket.

Best stuff right here.
Thanks

Doesn't the PC port runs better than the emulator?

GGs kat.
My arms were tingling by the end there. I'm sure you noticed in the first couple rounds that i forgot what most of the buttons did.
>>315834459
I see. I regret to inform you that the lag you caused to my game made my gamepad mess up then. Sorry bout that.

>/trash/
what
I don't know what Rinnosuke is asking for, but I do know that I wouldn't make any deals with such impure filth.

It's a 4th /b/.
>>315836612
They're both limited by retarded mechanics
Mokou loses health when attacking while Koishi has to prep her attacks before using them
>>315836967
>he doesn't know
>>315836967
Hiro made yet another unlisted random NSFW board. But instead of disabling the thread creation and keep the moved threads, it became /b/ 2.0 with ponies.
>>315836612
Suwako isn't low tier, either.
>>315837060
i know /v/ is the second, but whats the third?
>>315837108
mokou can spam heal though. its just a matter of balancing the two. i know it doesn't make her better per se, but it is a neat thought at least.
>>315837060
>>315837113
>>315837162
That's actually stupid.
>>315837216
I'm pretty sure she is.
Her only potential threat can be avoided by simply grazing out of it
>>315833274
GGs Doc!
>>315837108
At least you can combo her 5c or use it as reversal.
>>315837242
Not the 'meme' /b/.
So you /b/ which is just porn now.
There's /r9k/ for lonely bitter virgins who bitch about everything.
There's /s4s/ for lel meme posting.
And now you have /trash/ for shitposting. In theory. That might change as the board culture develops.
>>315837413
I see. Good to know. I will avoid those boards even more so now.
>>315837365
She's the first character I've seen to do inescapable melee combo, though. I'm not sure if other character can do it as easy as Suwako.
That was insane.
>>315837629
I do wish he'd do more Tenshi bullying.
>>315833487
Anyways, my arms have stopped tingling to a greater or lesser degree, so i'll take on another opponent while the iron is hot.

420 graze it faggot
