How do I git gud at 2hu?
I can't beat Lunatic without memorizing the entire game.
>>317346541
Hold shift for focused movement.
>>317346541
Unless you're some kind of god who can instantly recognize the complex route on Lunatic spellcards I guess that's the only way.
I'm sure no one in this world can NMNB 1cc Lunatic literally on first run without watching replays beforehand.
>>317347547
which one?
>>317346541
If you can't even play in normal or hard, no way you are going to stand a chance in Lunatic.
Also Memorizing is only useful for score runs.remember that there is a gap in presicion, reflexes, hand-eye coordination and reaction time.
>>317349116
The middle one.
Playing MoF right now, is it supposed to be so much harder than EotSD? I can't get past the third stage.
Also how can I change the amount of lives I have? stuck on 2.
>>317349975
>Playing MoF right now, is it supposed to be so much harder than EotSD? I can't get past the third stage.
No, is supposed to be the easiest one after ten desires.
>Also how can I change the amount of lives I have?
You don't. PoFV is the last touhou game were you can modify your starting lives.
>>317349975
MoF is the easiest and comfiest m8
>>317350364
TD is the easiest.
>>317349975
You can bombspam more than IN, and Marisa has cheat bug.

ayy lmao
Just play on easy like I do. Only tryhards play on lunatic.
>>317346541
>>317350667
>easy
lol
>>317346541
Memorizing patterns won't help you at all aside for the fact you need like 2 runs anyway to memorize everything about a stage.
What you need is actual skill and reflexes.
ok how do you start at the series? Are there translations or it's all in moon
Whitch videogame is the most new frienly?
>>317351018
EosD, yes
PCB / IN
>>317351018
Start with touhou 6, play it until you beat it without continuing and then play the rest of the windows games in chronological order. Don't forget to play the PC-98 games too if you want since they are really good.
Every single one of them has an english translation, even spin offs.
>>317351018
They're in English but you don't even need the English really, even in Japanese half of the menu is in English an there's barely any story in-game
Start with any of them really, you might want to pick 7 or 8 because the newer ones have some different mechanics and it might feel weird going backwards
>>317351018
I say EoSD is the most friendly and definitely a must-starting point since it doesn't have any gimmick and not that hard.
>>317350546
How many bombs do you get, there isn't a meter or anything
>>317351565
>EoSD is the most friendly and definitely a must-starting point since it doesn't have any gimmick
This. PCB is full of streaming which is hard for a begginer and IN has really complex patterns and gives you too many resources.
>>317351018
Start on EoSD and git gud. Don't play Easy mode, you'll gimp yourself.
>>317351657
On your power gauge.
Max 5.
>>317351657
Everytime you use a bomb you lose 1.0 of your power and you get a max of 5.0 power
Marisa has a glitch where if you pick her B shot and she's between 3.0 and 4.0 she mows down anything in 2 seconds so you're encouraged to keep spamming bomb, using that glitch isn't really fun though
Does this need an update?
Also, Homing reporting in.
>>317351691
Am I the only one who think IN is harder than EoSD?
Patchouli herself is way easier compared to Prismrivers and Reimu/Marisa.
>>317350718
RIP AND TEAR
>>317353479
IN is considered easier because it has spellcard practice and you can actually see your hitbox when focusing. Not to mention the border team has a huge delay for deathbombing. But yeah I would agree that the patterns are generally harder
Focus-Homing's where it's at!
>>317350364
GFW is also very easy and comfy. It was short but had a nice OST, nice art and a completely unique gameplay element
Difficulty ranking (lunatic)
UFO > LoLK > EoSD > PCB > IN > SA > MoF > TD
This is factual and impossible to argue
>>317353971
How LoLK hard when you can restart from any point?
>>317353971
Why is SA so low?
>>317354142
I should have mentioned I'm not talking about point device mode
>>317354215
SA gives you so many lives that it doesn't really matter how well you do. You can get by as long as you don't fuck up too much. Also the final boss is very easy, and the final boss is usually the roadblock that prevents people from 1ccing
>>317354357
>not talking about point device mode
>Practice stage 1 and 2 until you can graze everything
>Get a stock full of lives by the end of stage 2
>Bombspam the rest of the game
Again, how is it hard?
>>317354432
You can do this in every touhou game except EoSD though. Score high, don't fuck up in the first two or three stages and you can get away with bombspamming. This is harder to do in UFO though, because the first stages can actually kick your ass
>>317346541
Can we talk about soku in this thread?
>>317355132
Why would you? I'm asking for some advice on the mainline games. It'd be a little bit off-topic, don't you think?
>>317355132
Eh, why not?
>>317355312
Okay, how about PoFV?
How about other shmups?
>>317355461
Those are fine.
>>317346541
Will an arcade controller make me better at 2hu?
>>317355607
Only if it's a hitbox.
So do you get anything if you complete every single stage in ISC without any items?
>>317352307
Homing master race also reporting in.
>>317355873

Fuck this shit.
>>317361194
Define commentary. Is it proper commentary about the game or your typical Pew's shit talk.
>>317361385
The point is. Shmups aren't LP material. They just aren't entertain to watch. Easy is too boring but on a higher difficulties you need to be fully focused on the game so you can't scream around like a retard.
>>317360368

Aimed needs a better picture.
Also, it's good, unless you wanted to include other characters types which don't match any as well.
>>317362565
I would try that but I still suck a massive dick in the game so better not.
>>317355090
By this logic, EoSD is the hardest. Can't do that in MoF or SA as well, unless you abuse the Marisa glitch in the former.

>>317367950
So I just connect through this and it launches the game, right?
>>317370270
Yep. The game launches goes to the difficulty selection all by itself once it confirms the connection.
As you may have seen in the previous post, forget about renaming the game .exes, and try adonise if adonis2 doesn't work :
https://mega.nz/#!b4U2RIwb!8HQ5msvj4k_75wfO65CEIkR7zLjGbnzqcB4EeXpy0D0
Don't forget to edit adonis_config.ini, and to open the ports if you're hosting.
Do you need public IP to hosting?
>>317371082
Yeah, you'll need to share your public IP with a portforwaded port to host. But I think you may be able to play with hamachi, or with a local IP if you and your opponent are on the same network. Ask google, I'm not sure.

It's okay anon. The meido stops almost everyone on their first few runs.
>>317373819If you played on easy she'd even call you a scrub and stop you from going to the last stage.
>>317373819
Don't worry mang, the whole point of the game is to play it so much you'll have it memorized without any effort.
>>317374396
Do any other Touhou games do that?
>>317374601
LLS' stage 5 boss will do the same.
>>317374601
Nope, shame too, I always wished that after stage 4 in IN, Marisa/Reimu would say it was a nice warm-up then proceed to solve the ncident themselves. If you do fuck up in IN though, there's the dialogue change in stage 5 where you're locked in the bad ending.

Aimed is the most fun to me. Forward focus is the way it's meant to be played, though. But in the singular case of SA, I don't want to dodge fucking Boundary of Wave and Particle in stage 4.
>>317376669
I was about to ask who is that guy, but then i saw the filename
>>317376437
>>317363232
In MoF you can bomb spam all the way through with little to no consequences.
In SA, you get a shit ton of extra lives as long as you actually survive spellcards. Which means that you are allowed to bomb them. As long as you manage your resources properly you don't need to dodge a lot of things. It was my second lunatic 1cc
>>317374175
Well, I actually managed to beat her that run, even though I had to bombspam at some points. Best run yet as first time I managed to 0 death stage 1 and was doing find on stage 2 up until running into Cirno's attacks like an idiot. Died once or twice in stage 3 but I still had 0 continues used up by the time I got to the library.
Ended up with 1 continue left when I got to the meido and was able to clear her.
Stage 5 "well this is nice and relaxing", proceed to die like an idiot running into simpler patterns before Sakuya returns to kick my ass a second time.
Still, best run I've had so far, I'll take it. It's progress. I really need to learn how to deathbomb properly as I don't think I've ever pulled it off.

>tfw I pulled it off on my first try
>>317377420
That's cool but I don't think he could ever get far enough to see that card, especially with live audience.
Touhou playing requires a lot of resetting and grinding which is not fun to observe for other people.
Direct streaming a Touhou game will give you in the very best case something like this:
