I didn't notice a Touhou thread, so let's discuss the Touhou games. How are you progressing on the games?
>>337296031
>mfw i always had to go to the corners instead of going around Suwako to capture that spellcard
>>337296031
kind of working on some extras, havent 1cced anything on normal but the extras are just more fun.
i like suwako. but i havent gotten to that spell yet.
>>337296031
Still can't find a game with a good Hard mode to conquer.
So not too groovy, I guess.
>>337297510
How do you have extra if you haven't 1cc'd anything?
You aren'tcheatingare you?
>>337297690
Just begin the Hard ride with 6 and still go, i just got stuck on SA
>>337297690
I personally think that EoSD-IN have the easiest Hard modes, if that's the issue.
>>337297710
h-hey, i downloaded the games online, some of them come with unlocked extras, some dont...
i cant play SA, UFO, TD, or DDC's extras. LOLK was locked too but i unlocked it by beating easy, which is weird because its not meant to unlock.
I guess they already had scorefiles. I don't know, I just wanna enjoy myself, anon!
>>337297798
>>337297813
>IN
I've thought of that too, but then I remember how insane Marisa already is on Normal and my body tenses up.
I FUCKING HATE HECATIA'S NON-SPELLS
FUCKING BULLSHIT T-SHIRT WEIRDO
>>337298086
Then pick Team Magic or Scarlet so you fight Reimu instead
>>337298015
I'm just teasing you anon.
And some games will let you unlock extra with easy mode, I believe.
>>337298086
You could always try playing as Team Magic/Team Scarlet, if that's such an issue.
Otherwise, play EoSD or PCB instead.
>>337298104
Really? They're tough, but I thought Junko's non-spells were tougher in extra.
>>337298248
>>337298338
Good job messing up.
I think I'll go with what you and the other guy said. Hopefully Scarlet Team doesn't suck too much.
>>337298248
I need to clear LoLK extra
I cleared 7,8,9,10,12,13,14 extra stages , but hecatia non-spells are harder than her spellscards
And yeah junko simplistic non-spells are dificult but she doesn't move arround like hecatia
>>337298550
>but hecatia non-spells are harder than her spellscards
>Implying Lunar Impact is the most bullshit thing ever.
That said, if you really want to get the Hecatia clear now, you could always just cheese her out with Reisen, who simply obliterates that extra.
>>337298550
>Not 6 and 11
What make you stop not getting those yet?
>>337298485
>it does suck too much
Damn it, I can't believe I only got to Keine.
>>337299667
11 because i really hate the bomb system and yeah , koishi is hardand 6 because i played 8 first , and the jump to No visible hitbox was hard to me
They are both unlocked but still
>>337296031
playing th15, doing lunatic point device no bombs
was going well until I reached this motherfucking spellcard
seriously dont know when i'll beat it, better get used to junko's music
>>337300907
Neither try Team Magic or fight Marisa, you have no choice.
>>337300907
There is nothing wrong with Team Scarlet.
>>337302656
>>337302595
I already chose to fight Marisa.It actually went somewhat better than I expected.
Made it to Kaguya somehow. Couldn't beat her, but for a first try this is pretty damn good.
>>337300907
Team Scarlet is very good if you know how to use them.
>>337302110
Which shot?
>>337302595
I would honestly consider Team Magic to be the worst team, if you don't know how to MAlice cannon. Hell, even with MAlice canon they aren't really that great. Saying this as someone who got his first normal and hard 1ccs in IN with Team Magic.
>>337303049
Well, i never liked Team Scarlet even when i knew how to use it, and Team Magic was fun because of the dialogues, my favorite will always be Team Ghost.
Are there any particular enemy shot patterns that you have trouble with? For me it is the that kind where you have uniform patterns coming from the top left and top right at you, so much so that I still have trouble dealing with them like Youmu and that one Prismriver sister on normal despite having done lunatic EoSD
>>337303304
Diagonal patterns fuck me up like you have no idea.
It's the sole reason why I never completed UFO's extra stage even after bothering to 1cc the game with all shottypes.
>>337296031
>starting a touhou thread without the pastebin
>>337303304
>>337303423
That's kind of funny, diagonal patterns never gave me any issues.
Patterns that come horizontally from the left or right side of the screen are always annoying, though.
Quick question, how good is the Phantom Team in IN compared to the other teams?
>>337304261
Best damage
>>337304261
Just fucking good, they were made for world record scores
Youmu hits hard and her bomb is pretty good, while Yuyuko's shot type can almost fill the whole screen.
>>337304261
Kind of in a curious spot.
Technically speaking, Solo Youmu is probably the best shot in the game.
Team Ghost is still really good, and Yuyuko isn't even bad, but Solo Youmu is just fantastic.
>>337304473
>>337304558
>>337304901
So I guess once I'm done with Border Team then I'll go with Phantom Team.
Thanks guys.
>>337305761
Cool. Just remember that Youmu is kind of tough to use. Yuyuko on the other hand is easy as fuck to use so whatever.
I started playing EoSD a couple days ago. It's my first introduction to the series. I can reliably get past stage 3, but 4 is stonewalling me. Luckily, m getting better but it still sucks losing lives cause my retarded ass can't bomb in time.
>>337305902
>check gameplay video of youmu
>mfw it's a "shots go opposite of where you're moving" episode
>>337303304
Lasers, lasers, lasers
I just don't get them for whatever reason. Everything else I can understand but those always fuck me up.
>>337306525
I'm fine with the older lasers, but it feels like the newer lasers tend to be of the "instant hitbox" variety, rather than the classic "delayed hitbox", which just ends up being frustrating.
Laser bullets can be pretty awkward too.
>>337306418
>my retarded ass can't bomb in time
You must learn about deathbombing well anon
>>337306520
That's why i like Youmu
>>337306520
If you master her, her damage is almost on par with MAlice cannon, so she's very good.
>have a thread without secondary bait
>it dies
life is so unfair
>>337307251
And Youmu's bomb is as good as Master Spark.
Fast aggressive shottypes or slow defensive shottypes, which is better?
>>337308164
I would rather have a decent thread that dies after a few hours than a bloated thread that's 90% secondary discussion, so that's fine.
>>337309367
>defensive
what
This ain't a fighting game.
>>337309367
>slow defensive shottypes,
What do you mean? In these games the best defense is just to kill shit before they spawn too many bullets.
>>337296031
I'm shitting my way through StB right now for some practice.
Barely cheesing through level 2 here.
Maybe when I'm done I'll finally be able to pass one of the other games on Normal.
>>337309546
>>337309597
Small hitbox you dopes.
>>337309367
There's no defense in 2hu. There's just dodging shit and shooting shit.
If you're basically asking Marisa vs Reimu, I find that my playstyle suits Marisa better, as I'm not quite fine enough to do the tiny ass dodges with Reimu's smaller hitbox.
>>337309367
Defensive. I like it when my bullets home.
>>337309743
That's not very defensive.
I don't know why you didn't just ask "Reimu or Marisa?"
Reimu.
>>337309743
Oh, well in that case I suppose it helps but I never really found it to be of much help
>>337310097
Reimu or Marisa would just result in people voting for the character they like more.
Which obviously should be Marisa. That's just unfair to compare the two.
>>337309367
I just use whichever shot type kills bosses the fastest, which happens to mainly be Marisa.
>>337310518
>Marisafag
Nevermind.
>>337310618
I'm just kidding, anon, you're allowed to like any 2hu.Reimu is the third best 2hu.Marisa da best.
>>337303049

>>337310779
Neat. Good luck, then.
Friendly reminder that fumo orders open up in a little over a day from now

You're not that anon. Who are you?
Where can I find translated versions of the manuals for the games? The wiki doesn't have anything past MS and they aren't available in-game in the first windows generation.
Will ZUN ever incorporate non-main protagonist girls into the mainline games again in a major supporting role, like in IN and SA?
>>337312728
Isn't it just an HTML file in the games directory?
>>337312760
Hopefully.
I need more MariPatchi fuel.
>>337311005
Never thought I'd see a Jessica Ushiromiya fumo in 2016
>>337312873
At least in my game files, I don't see anything aside from 9 having the Japanese manual.
>>337314781
No folder in japanese/labeled html in the directory? Odd. Then again, I don't remember which of my game folders are from the actual discs and which were downloaded.
So she's coming back for ULiL, right?

>>337315931
I never played the PC98 games, but Mima has a really good design.
>>337316285
from the waist up
>>337316285
You should remedy that, the PC98 games are rather good. Mima herself is basically a more villainous, more serious Proto-Marisa in terms of personality, and was basically the fast character in the shmups before Marisa took over that role in EoSD.
>>337316817
>the PC98 games are rather good.
lol
>>337317237
1 is barely a Touhou game.
2 is jank but fun.
3 is jank but not fun.
4 is actually a pretty solid shmup which ends up setting many of the standards that the future Touhou titles would follow, including the 6 stage + Extra formula.
5 is honestly one of the top shmups in the franchise, if only for the stellar ost, the god tier final boss, and the amazing Extra stage/boss.
Every Touhou game is worth playing.
>>337316817
Mima isn't really like Marisa at all honestly beyond being confident.
>>337317504
>1 is barely a Touhou game
that doesn't even make sense
1cc'd DDC, getting to clearing LoLK on normal, Clownpiss is an absolute terror. I've beaten it on Pointdevice mode, but that doesn't count in my mind. In practice mode, I've been able to beat Junko only losing two lives, but I can't beat Clownpiece without relying on how Pointdevice works.
>>337317580
>No dialogue
>Practically no story outside of textless cutscenes
>A few of the bosses aren't even humanoid
>Strange and eerie feeling and setting, by far the oddest game in the series in terms of visuals.
>It's not a shmup.
It's very different from any other game in the series, it would be silly to deny that.
>>337317930
Saying it's barely a Touhou game when it's the first in a series and very much so IS Touhou without a doubt is silly to say.
>>337317843
I've pretty much just declared LoLK absolutely bullshit in my mind and made point device the go to mode for it.
I am simply to casual to attempt such a ridiculously difficult game.
>>337317237
I can see what you mean with 1-3, but I would say 4 and 5 are two of the best games in the series.
>>337318032
>It feels like a standard Touhou game because it's the first and it is Touhou. Who cares about things like how it plays or how it compares to the rest of the series?
You don't find anything about this argument silly?
>>337318274
You seem to think saying
>it's barely a Touhou game
is the same as saying
>it's not a shmup
>>337318340
I'm saying it's very different from what people would think of as a Touhou game. It's an early installment to the series, before ZUN figured out what he wanted to do with the series, and what direction he wanted to take it. In that way, it's very different from what the series ended up being, and in that way it could be considered the least "Touhou"-esque of the Touhou games.
>>337318515
You need to say things better if anything, calling it barely a Touhou game implies something different than what I(think) you're trying to say.
>>337310859
same thing happened in impossible spell cards, could manage everything without items until that one remilia spell in the last day. I could never get past it no matter how much I tried
hopes its not one of those, this cards difficulty is insane compared to everything else
>>337318851
i think it was obvious
>>337320707
not really when you take in account that Touhou as a whole series aren't just shumps.
>>337321183
But all the mainline games are.
You retards aren't welcome here
>>337321242
Well obviously not, because the first game exists.
Anyone wants to play Soku? I'll host.
>>337318034
I find it's literally only her stage that's impossible to beat. If it is, then there's little to no room for error on Normal mode.
Junko's stage isn't bad after you get a feel for it, Sagume's stage is pretty rough but manageable through raw memorization- but I can't say the same for Clownpiece.
>>337321682
Junko's stage is actually incredibly easy if you simply don't shoot the spirits that release suicide bullets. The only tough part is the super graze bit.
Capturing spellcards is hard.
>>337296031
No one cares about this stupid anime game
>>337321541
Touhou is everywhere. God I hate these animu games
>>337323025
>He says, while shitposting an an animu image board, inspired by a animu website, owned by an animu man.
>>337321541
>>337321965
>>337323025
Samefag
Touhou is a videogame.
>>337321797
desu her boss fight is pretty easy too except for the last spell card
I was busy the last days.
But be warned.
>>337323252
I found her survival card to be way tougher than her final card, but that's just me.
>>337323248
do you have one of Remilia's Last Day 4 spell card?
>>337323413
honestly after practicing it it's much easier, the last one though feels totally random to me
>>337296031
I'm taking a long break so I don't hate the games when I try to play them. Just don't have the drive if I hate playing them.I'm the idiot that practiced UFO for a year and got nowhere on normal.
>>337324621
I told you to start with PCB.
>>337323692
Not that anon, but I'm working on one now.
I'll have to split it in two, though, because /v/ doesn't allow webums that are over 90 seconds.
>>337324717
And I blew chunks at it like I do with all the rest.
>>337323692
>do you have one of Remilia's Last Day 4 spell card?
I only did that with items, so no. And I don't feel like playing that without items. Photogames like Shoot the Bullet and Double Spoiler are much better than ISC imo. I just wanted to use some sort of gameplay webm, and used the first one I found.
Made this webm lazily just now though. Somehow I'm going to have to teach myself how to properly optimize webm creation.
>>337324740
It's easy. Use Reimu, or Sakura A, and get as many supernatural borders as possible just for safety and to clear the screen if you don't care about score.
By far the easiest Extra mode too.
>>337324905
>I only did that with items, so no. And I don't feel like playing that without items.
fucking pussy.
>>337325028
You're either replying to the wrong post, or you're simply incapable of following a conversation.

I can't even get past piss-in-rivers now. My skill deteriorated.
>>337325185
Ah, I see.
>>337325214
Try playing IN, it's actually the easiest. Team Border has a ridiculous death bomb window.
>>337325128

There's just one problem with that.

Still, your dedication is admirable.
>>337325276
I can't even make it through stage 3 without fucking dying in IN.
All these easy starting games everyone recommends me never works, I practice them for weeks and I get progressively worse. I tried PCB for two fucking weeks and I went from dying to prismrivers to fucking alice.
ALICE.
FUCK.
>>337325905

it's the spellcard number 4 of that day

>>337326056
Take a break.
Why you faggots play garbage when you can play real shmups?
>>337326132
I was and then I was told to play pcb and now here I am. Can't even fucking bomb right anymore. I can't believe this bitch hit me even once I didn't even get touched when I first played this shit.
I've wasted a continue to icicle fall in EoSD. I'm the lowest of the low.
Why you faggots play real shmups when you can play garbage?
>>337326348
Stick with PCB. No gimmick bullshit like UFO, basic bullet hell mechanics and the game is arguably the easiest Touhou game.
>>337326564
You're kidding me right now right?
I can make it to stage 5 in UFO on normal. Bull fucking shit that PCB is the easiest. Bull fucking shit that IN is easy too while I'm at it. It's bullshit.
I have a below average reaction time. The UFO gimmick isn't even fucking shit compared to all this weird cherry point bullshit on top of not being able to auto-collect until full power. UFO throws more bullets at me than these older games but somehow I'm able to mosey past them. I can get through UFO continuing once on normal.
But PCB? I can't even 1cc it on easy. I die to prismrivers or youmu. I've lost all my continues to yuyuko on fucking easy. Absolute horseshit that PCB is easy.
>>337326873
Well no wonder you're better at UFO since you're playing it for a year now.
>>337326987
I did that good at UFO in the same amount of time as it did for the other games. Most of that year was failed 1cc attempts where I die to murasa or the tiger. Either slightly worse or the same. I never improved for roughly 10 months.
I've played 6 on and off for so many years and still haven't 1cc'd it.
Now I have to decide if I download it again and give it another shot or just move on to a different one. But moving on feels too much like giving up.
Fuck it, here we go again. I'm coming for you vampire bitch.
>>337327060
I don't know what to tell you man. Just keep practicing until you get it. Although you should've been able to get through most of the games judging by the amount of time you dedicated to them. Try looking up videos and see how other people clear the spellcards you have the most troubles with. If you have fat fingers, excercise, if you're left handed get a 3rd party program which will let you rebind keys to make you feel more comfortable. Work on your reaction time, look at danmaku as a maze that you're trying to find your way out of.
>>337326124
I'm just saying that "Remilia's" is a possessive, which is attached to the word Last in that sentence.
So it sounds like you're saying Remilia's Last Spell Card on day 4. I assumed that you had simply made a mistake in regards to Remilia's placement in the game.
Please take the time to learn English in the future, so you don't make clusterfuck statements like "Remilia's Last Day 4 Spell Card", which don't actually mean what you're trying to convey. Thank you.
>>337327672
I have it's just fucking infuriating. I don't even know if I should be playing these games because I stop thinking sometimes and next thing I know I've ran into a bullet with full bombs. Every time I try and forcibly focus I get drained and just run into bullets harder. I'm barely conscious of it. When I first started playing these games it was worse because I just kept registering too much bullet on the screen and my mind would blank.
That's a thing with the older games too, it happens more often. The music puts me to fucking sleep. It's not that it's bad but I can't focus when I feel like passing out from how soft the tones are.

Go kick that bitch ass!
>>337328880
No like, it's the first couple windows games that do it. Most of the music is docile as fuck. That mostly applies to EoSD and PCB though, it picks up better past those.
UFO and SA have really upbeat ones so I tend to be more awake when I play those. I actually played SA recently and had fun even though I only made it to satori on normal on my first go.
>>337328303
But Tenshi is easy!

I used to be able to get to stage 6 without a single continue. This time it took me four.
This is always what happens. I am so tired of the touhou cycle.But I swear to fucking god I am going to beat this fucking weeaboo game.
>>337328303I used Cheat Engine.
How do play?
Do download?
Or do buy off internet? (Digitally or physical)
>>337332427
Don't buy unless it's directly from ZUN or Tasofro
Everyone pirates digitally. Check Moriya Shrine or Doujinstyle
>>337332427
Google Moriya Shrine. Official games section there. You download and play.
>>337326873
You can always try the EoSD For Busy Person if you're playing for the story. That's one of many games in the series that came out which neatly condenses the official games.
