>He STILL struggles with UFO
Has there ever existed a more surefire way to tell that somebody is complete utter shit at Shmups than this?
This is a stage 3 boss.
https://a.pomf.cat/gooewh.mp4
Try to pull off such a beautifully perfect pacifist against Kagerou or any other stage 3 boss for that matter.
Let's look at some facts about UFO.
>Showers you with resources (can almost get max lives before the stage 2 boss)
>UFO's act as a FREE screen clear
>Brain dead easy patterns that all but the clinically retarded should be able to dodge with ease.
>Overpowered as fuck shot types that do the vast majority of the work for you
>Shit music besides like 2 tracks
If you haven't LNV'd UFO multiple times at this point, you should just fucking kill yourself tbqh familia.
>>331987289
>>Overpowered as fuck shot types that do the vast majority of the work for you
But Marisa B sucks.
>>331987289
>shit music except for 2 tracks
excuse me? UFO has excellent music besides stage 2 theme.
So I'm not great at shmups in general, and I don't really understand all the extra 2hu stuff (like where people are getting their personalities and stuff from) but i really enjoy the games, because of their emphasis on dodging (helped by their generally very clean backgrounds).
I can't beat any of them without using continues, but I can beat 6, 7, and 8 (or 9? I forget which is PoFV, since that one is PVP). I have a much harder time with the newer ones, especially SA, i don't know why.
So basically I want someone to, rank the games from easiest to hardest.
Also, are there any other SHMUPS with a similar emphasis on dodging? A lot of Cave games, and shmups in general like CCWI, tend to focus on MASSIVE STREAMS OF BULLETS that just distract you. I don't hate them, but I just wanna feel the thrill when you weave through bullets.
>>331988578
It's universally agreed that SA has one of the harder normal modes. When I was new to Touhou it took me double the time to clear over all of the other games. Maybe LoLK tops it now though, I dunno.
>>331988087
Every track before stage 4 sounds like shit. Easily one of Zun's less memorable soundtracks.
>>331988867
>Maybe LoLK tops it now though, I dunno.
I haven't played a lot of LoLK but it absolutely fucking crushed me. From the looks of it, SA isn't even half as hard as this motherfucker.
>>331988867
Oh that's good to hear, it was fucking me hardcore. It's too bad it brings me so much stress because the music is thumpin
fuck UFO fuck Shou and her fucking curved LASERS FUCK
>>331988867
I agree for the music except for Kogasa's. I dunno, that one just stuck.
SA though, literally only the final boss and extra stage+boss themes came from the top of my head.
>>331987289
>so bored he didn't get to shitpost in days that he made a thread solely for it
Get a hobby, MaZe.
>>331987289
>UFO's act as a FREE screen clear
Yeah except for the part where you need to align yourself with them while avoiding enemy bullets and kill everything blocking the UFOs. That's not mentioning picking up 3 tokens in the first place.
>Brain dead easy patterns that all but the clinically retarded should be able to dodge with ease.
But the only games in the series that exhibit this are PCB and IN.
>Shit music besides like 2 tracks
If those are the stage 1 theme and the stage 2 boss theme then I might agree
>This is a stage 3 boss.
Nice cherrypicking. Why don't we look at that Stage 5 boss instead?
>>331988867
>When I was new to Touhou it took me double the time to clear over all of the other games.
Golly gee it's like you got better over time or something!
>>331989894
This is my hobby though.
>>331990054
>Golly gee it's like you got better over time or something!
Do you have brain damage my asshurt friend? I 1cc'd the games in order, from 6 onwards. 11 was one of the last games I had to play, which according to you would mean I should have beat it faster than say, 6 which was the first one I played.
After beating SA, UFO took me a mere 4 attempts to beat.
>Nice cherrypicking. Why don't we look at that Stage 5 boss instead?
What about her? She's easier than Seija, Clownpiss, Orin, and even fucking Youmu.
She's the hardest part about UFO and she's still a joke.
>But the only games in the series that exhibit this are PCB and IN.
Spoiler : You're one of those clinically retarded people I'm referring to. UFO is piss easy, you are just incredibly bad at shmups. The mere fact that you're desperately trying to justify you being shit at the game is evidence of this.
>>331990976
>I 1cc'd the games in order, from 6 onwards
>He hasn't 1cc'd the PC-98 games
>Calls other people bad at shmups
>>331991391
I still haven't played any of the PC-98 games.
Call the cops, I don't give a fuck.
>>331991391
>he replies to MaZe
>he thinks he has the right to call out anyone over anything
>it's a MaZe thread
Please just die.
>>331991647
>huh, a MaZe thread
>LET'S BUMP IT
I hope the thread takes you down with it.
>>331990976
>After beating SA, UFO took me a mere 4 attempts to beat.
And I had a 1 attempt SA versus a 2 attempts UFO. Doesn't this make you incredibly bad at shmups since it took you four attempts to beat such a piss easy game?
And 6 was much harder than SA.
>What about her? She's easier than Seija, Clownpiss, Orin, and even fucking Youmu.
But that is wrong. She is only easier than Clownpiss. Orin and Youmu are one of the easiest stage 5 bosses. Seija is only hard because of gimmicks that rarely ever occur in shmups.
>UFO is piss easy
Not as much as PCB and IN, though.
>The mere fact that you're desperately trying to justify you being shit at the game
If you didn't want people to discuss UFO then don't put it in the opening post. I'm not desperately trying to justify shit, I'm talking about it because you brought it up.
I sucked ass at UFO because all of the glow and shine killed my eyes, and made it impossible to see where the bullets were.
It's a pretty game, but it's not for the weak-eyed.

>>331992223
>he expects me to pick only one
Might as well expect me to lie.
Who's maze?
Regardless.
How is ZUN actually doing? He hasn't sold himself out yet, has he?
>>331991647
Would you rather a soku thread?
Can we stop calling it a MaZe thread? I feel violated when you faggots keep saying my name.
>>331991805
>And I had a 1 attempt SA versus a 2 attempts UFO. Doesn't this make you incredibly bad at shmups since it took you four attempts to beat such a piss easy game?
Who knows, maybe I was bad back then.
Good thing I'm literally the best in the world right now though, huh?
>She is only easier than Clownpiss.
Wrong. She's factually easier than all of the ones I mentioned. Again, you having difficulty with UFO and trying your hardest to save face about it is testament to how bad at the games you are.
>Seija is only hard because of gimmicks that make her hard
Pottery, desu.
Post a replay of you pacifying Kagerou.
>Not as much as PCB and IN, though.
That's not saying much.
>If you didn't want people to discuss UFO then don't put it in the opening post.
How easy your illiterate ass fails to understand simple things. Discussing how bad the game is has always been the primary goal. What you're doing however is trying your best to pretend to others, and yourself, that you're not awful because of the trouble you're having with UFO.
I'm merely pointing out that you're having trouble with it and finding it difficult because you're shit.
>>331992593
How about a REGULAR FUCKING TOUHOU THREAD? You know, like we had yesterday? That one was pretty fun.
What is Touhou's equivalent of dwarves? Oni or yamawaro?
>>331992697
>She's factually easier than all of the ones I mentioned
If she is f a c t u a l l y easier then how did I NMNB Orin and Youmu way before her? I thought they're supposed to be harder than something that's piss easy?
>Post a replay of you pacifying Kagerou
I can't. Kagerou is the hardest stage 3 boss.
>That's not saying much
That is, I wish you would go and tear those apart instead because the fanboys of those games are more insufferable.
>What you're doing however is trying your best to pretend to others, and yourself, that you're not awful
I'm not defending myself though, you might be illiterate. The only thing I'm telling you is Ichirin is a shit boss while the stage 5 boss is harder, which you agreed.
>>331993062
>oni
>dorf
Pick one.
>>331992829
We had a good soku thread the day before too
>>331993443
>good soku thread
These three words don't go together.
>>331993443
Stop lying you faggot.
There's no such thing, the soku was a keyword for people to shitpost on it.
Soku died in 2014, you'll only bring the remaining cancer.
The Touhou thread yesterday was fantastic and you'd have to be completely delusional to disagree.
>>331993578
>>331993614
And here come the shitposters.
>>331994079
MaZe was already here, though.
>>331993116
>If she is f a c t u a l l y easier then how did I NMNB Orin and Youmu way before her? I thought they're supposed to be harder than something that's piss easy?
Because you're shit lmao get good why play.
>I can't. Kagerou is the hardest stage 3 boss.
Damn right she is. Kagerou > Shou in terms of difficulty, and by that fact Kagerou is a harder boss than every single boss in UFO . This is non disputable.
>That is, I wish you would go and tear those apart instead because the fanboys of those games are more insufferable.
Well I'm not a fanboy of those games either, if that's what you're thinking.
My favorites are DDC, LoLK & EoSD.
I just cannot stand UFO.
>The only thing I'm telling you is Ichirin is a shit boss while the stage 5 boss is harder, which you agreed.
You said I cherrypicked. Before DDC came out showing of Kagerou in all her glory, Ichirin was considered by the vast majority of people to be the hardest stage 3 boss. Clearly I disagree.
You're the one who brought up stage 5 bosses out of the blue when I was specifically talking about stage 3's.
Shou is all UFO has in terms of difficulty, and even she isn't anything particularly hard.
Byakuren is a joke (I'm well known for being one of, if not the best players at making Byakuren look pitiful). Even Shin wishes he could brutalize that bitch as elegantly as I can.
>>331992829
Fuck you nigga, this is a regular touhou thread. I simply started us off on a good note by outing UFO as the garbage that it is.
Now we can go onto discussing the actual good games in the series if you like, or we can keep shitting on UFO, I can go either way.
>>331994079
>I know they are right, so I'm gonna call them shitpsoters
>>331994292
>>If she is f a c t u a l l y easier then how did I NMNB Orin and Youmu way before her? I thought they're supposed to be harder than something that's piss easy?

>b-but I can't find games there anymore :<
Well welcome to fucking 2016 people don't play shit games anymore, especially with the new ULiL content coming out.
>>331994535
Mate please, I put a lot of care and effort into my posts to make sure that they're as factually accurate as possible.
>>331994386
How pathetic
Let me show you what a good thread looks like
>>331883370
>>331994292
>My favorites are DDC, LoLK
Interesting. These two have pretty divided reception because of the balancing issues, but they're fun to play for survival. I assume survival is your end goal?
>Ichirin was considered by the vast majority of people to be the hardest stage 3 boss.
Well this is my first time hearing it but that's downright retarded.
>You're the one who brought up stage 5 bosses out of the blue when I was specifically talking about stage 3's.
That's just because Ichirin wasn't a particularly good boss to make a comparison to the other counterparts.
Let me see you brutalizing that bitch. Byakuren is overrated but I can still think of 6 bosses easier than her.
>>331994612
>people actually playing the game regardless of shitposters
>one of you faggots still so salty for some reason that he spams the thread pretending to be a retarded namefag
>>331995512
>i-it's only 1 person
Fuck off, make a thread on /vg/ if you only want to play or go back to the IRC where you belong you secondary scum.
>>331994787
That thread is shit. It's filled with some guy who has probably just got started on lunatic posting webm's of his shitty captures of easy cards.
Let me know when people make high quality, impressive as fuck recordings like mine in which they pacify bosses in their entirety to show that they actually know how to dodge shit, rather than rushing down one of Alice's spells of all things and posting that like it's impressive.
Jesus christ, why am I so fucking good at video games /v/?
>>331995175
>I assume survival is your end goal?
I don't score anymore. I just jump on every so often to do some quick survival challenges & pacify stages + bosses in their entirety and what not.
>Well this is my first time hearing it but that's downright retarded.
How long have you been around for? Before DDC came out, that was the general consensus .
>Let me see you brutalizing that bitch. Byakuren is overrated but I can still think of 6 bosses easier than her.
I'm gonna be doing something Byakuren related sometime soon.
Can I talk about 2hu or are we just shitposting

God you guys are such faggots. Post some fucking music or something.

It's even boring to shit on UFO here because nobody actually has the skill to try post replays to refute what I say, and most of you somehow, someway have enough good taste to know that the game is incredibly shit.
>>331993116
>>331991805
>>331990054
You. Let's play a game since you were so argumentative before.
You say you don't find Ichirin hard either? Do what I done then. Pacify her then post it here so I know I'm not arguing with a shitter.
Then it can be your turn to post something and I'll have to copy that too.
Sound fair? Good good, let's get started then, shall we.
>>331997568
How do I get good like you, what do I have to grind?
>>331995938
Long before DDC came out. Maybe between SA and UFO. Ichirin was associated with LE BROFIST XD memes than anybody actually crying about her being hard. or maybe those are related
>>331997568
No fuck you I haven't played 2hu in a year and I'm busy today
>>331996465

>>331997836
GrindLen'en.
It's not all that great being me though, I suck ass at memo shit (which is why I unironically suck as IN, it was even the hardest Lunatic 1cc for me) because I never feel like learning it, but I'm really good at random bullet dodging (such as in spells like Greatest Treasure).
If that sounds like your type of thing, then load up SpoilerAL, set the spell timer clock to stop, and then just dodge for a few hours. Do this for spells that are all about random dodging (and keep mixing it up, don't just do the same spell over and over again) and you should get better at reacting to random shit better.
>>331998268
No problem, it is indeed a very nice arrange.
