What happened to that PoFV thread? I wanted to discuss Touhou.
>>340441384
Janny said all 2hu threads belong on >>>/jp/
>>340441478
I don't remember that.
Archived. Playing video games doesn't bump a thread, unfortunately.
GGs J, if you happen to be here. Looks like Marisa is too fast for me.
Who's best PoFV and why is it this girl?
>Fast speed
>Good charge speed
>Good scope
>God Tier level 1 that rips and tears everything
>God Tier passive ability
>>340444307
Nah nigga, we all know Reimu is the number one. Her's scope not as good and she's a bit slower (though that's a plus in my opinion), but her spells are out of this world.
Also, the happy bouncy yinny yanggy balls are a major pain to deal with.
>>340443082
Already said this in the other thread, but GGs. I'm not sure if anyone else will want to play pofv in this thread though. I'm done for now.
>>340444307
>best
Different characters are best in their own wayexcept medicine, she's always worst. I think it comes down to preference for the most part in terms of who is the strongest, although someone like Mystia or Tewi will of course be weak compared to the heavy hitters.
My favorite is Eiki. Highest scoring shot too.
>>340444786
I don't like Reimu's level 1 very much
>>340444307
The half-ghost nerd is the best character, now fuck off.
>>340444786
I was hoping for more subjective answers, rather than objective ones, but you aren't wrong.
>>340445469
I dunno, I think Tewi is underrated. Her scope is good for collecting large masses of spirits, and her level 1 is incredibly strong. Dropping a level 2 and hovering directly over something while your flamethrower goes off is, as far as I'm aware, the most powerful attack in the game. And her charge speed/passives are ridiculously good. Her only real downside are shitty level 2/3 attacks, and only ok Extra attacks.
>>340441478
thank god
go back to your fucking containment board
>>340445819
Ah, ok. Gonna go with Yuuka then. Shotgunning bosses is hilariouseven if I can't do it reliably,and she gather spell points real fast. Kinda wish she was a bit faster, though.
Her spells, theme and stage are all so pretty too.
>>340445469
What about Medecine's Extras? I just can't deal with them, but maybe that's just me.
>>340446541
I think he's just saying Medicine is the worst because he doesn't like playing against her.
If we were really discussing the worst character, that's typically accepted as being Aya.I personally think Mystia is worse, but that's just me.
>Kinda wish she was a bit faster
To be fair, giving more speed to someone who's passive ability is as good as Yuuka's is just asking for trouble, especially when most other things about her are really good.
>>340445819
Tewi mirrors are fun, but playing Tewi is just awkward for me.
>her level 1 is incredibly strong
It may do a lot of damage, but it hardly shoots upwards, and that's what's needed to clear out spirits or faeries up towards the top of the screen. Her scope doesn't aim above her much either, so you have to be very careful moving up or you'll get hit by a spirit. Very hard to survive in sustained spellfights.
>>340446181
>Actually believing this without proof
We're discussing videogames anyway.
>>340446541
>Medicine
I don't think Medicine is actually that bad, I just hate her and her Ex attack.
>>340441384
Touhou already has a thread, maggot.

>It may do a lot of damage, but it hardly shoots upwards, and that's what's needed to clear out spirits or faeries up towards the top of the screen.
I dunno, in terms of clearing faeries and spirits, I think that clearing a large area is more important than clearing in a straight line up, since you already have shots for that. Tewi's extra is lacking on range, admitably, but its longevity makes up for that somewhat.
>Her scope doesn't aim above her much either, so you have to be very careful moving up or you'll get hit by a spirit.
Eh, it goes high enough I think. The only scopes that I think are actually too small are Cirno's and Lunasa'sLunasa's scope hilariously doesn't even protect your entire hitbox from spirits.
>Very hard to survive in sustained spellfights.
Agreed. Her scope can definitely be a double edged sword in that regard. If you can time the destruction of spirits correctly, you can destroy tons of bullets easily with her, but if you move around too much while focused you'll end up creating a ton of suicide bullets to deal with.
I've been thinking, what would be the downsides of having the danmaku-dodging (all gameplay excluding the bullet reflecting and spells/extras being sent to the oppent) being handled client-side? I don't know jack shit about netplay programming, but doing this should get rid of the necessary input lag, shouldn't it?
>>340447985
That would be good. You could view whatever happens on your side of the screen in real time, and anything on your opponent's would happen several seconds ago. Latency in bullet dodging games is pretty unpleasant.
Maybe in the next Phantasmagoria game that comes outhopefullyit can happen.
>>340447985
I'm not an expert, but I would assume that desynchs would become more likely.
And of course, netplay like that might be beyond ZUN's abilities. He's a decent programmer, or maybe it's impossible the way he designed the game, but who knows?
You also have to remember that the netplay was designed with Japanese players in mind, who wouldn't need something like that in the first place.
>>340448834
>and anything on your opponent's would happen several seconds ago.
That would actually be really bad, as knowing what your opponent is doing is a major part of PoFV.
How do I play as Cirno in PoFV?
>>340450634
Touhou has two threads!
>>340450634
Spam level 2 until your opponent dies.
>>340450826
Eh.
Are we going to dance around the subject or is someone going to host?
>>340451827
I would but I can't host from where I'm staying.
>>340451930
Oh well, at least there were good intentions.
>>340451827
Nope, too busy playing Double Spoiler. We can always talk about other Touhou games in the meantime.
Like the photogames. Favorite scenes? I find Shoot the Bullet 10-6 fun.
>>340452648
I can't remember every spellcards very well, except for that really annoying one with Iku firing star-shaped lasers. It's a pain with Hatate.
>>340452648
The Extra Scenes in DS are fun.
>>340452879
It's this one.
>Iku firing star-shaped lasers
Looks like that one's 10-4. I haven't cleared that one yet.
>>340452879
>>340455465
I would post a webm to help you guys with it, but I have towork
Maybe next time.
