I want to talk about bombing in Touhou, or any shmup for that matter. How do you guys feel about bombs? Are they necessary?

Personally I don't like the idea of bombs. The worst part about them, I believe, is that they stop you from actually dodging. Think about it, how many times have you said to yourself, 'I know I'm capable of capturing this spellcard, but I'll use a bomb just in case so that my entire run isn't ruined'? It teaches bad habits. If bombs didn't exist, you would take risks and actually try to dodge hard shit instead of just bombing, ultimately becoming a better player.

not op but i happen to have the same wall
