>grazing bullets

What is grazing bullets? I have a "graze" meter with a number under it, but I don't understand what it is or why I care about raising it.

>>10020181
Don't you like the sound it makes?

>>10020181
score
also some games give you power ups for grazing

Been trying to go for a SA Lunatic 1cc. 2181 attempts in 40 hours, and I have only gotten to stage 5 once without having to continue. Haven't reached stage 4 in a couple of weeks lately, but I think I'll get there before 2013. God is it tiring, but I just need a ton of more luck.

>>10020202
A minute 6 seconds on average? You can start bomb spamming at stage 1 without losing anything permanently.

>>10020329
Most of those attempts are stage practice, though getting past stage 1 in a full run is not a regular occasion for me.

I've been half-heartedly trying to MoF lunatic 1cc, but I've never been past stage four. Although I don't think I've put in more than twenty hours into it total yet.

I could probably get a lot farther if I spammed bombs, though, but that's not going to get me through the later stages. It's not the difficulty that's the most appropriate to me anyway.

>>10020138
Still no-one interested in streaming?

>>10020576
Streaming is essential.

Adamar pls stream.

>>10020202
Yeah, play more. This is what my stats looked like after my Lunatic 1cc.

MoF hard and PCB extra. Prob'ly. A bloo bloo bloo.

>>10020782
Fuck savants

>>10020808
Doesn't savant refer to a skilled autist? That time makes him a fucking terrible player.

>>10020819
If that's considered terrible I don't even want to post mine.

My hands are on fire, my heart feels like it's about to stop but goddamnit I finally cleared NBNUFO!

>>10020957
Congrats man.

>LNBNT Ten Desires next?
But isn't NT the same as NM? Since you know, if you get hit you go into trance automatically.

>>10021042
It's generally accepted as no manual trance.

>>10020808
The average for a Lunatic 1cc is usually around 20-30 hours if the person has had little to no STG playing time. Even less if they have prior experience. But you can't exactly judge skill on the amount of time it took somebody to 1cc it.

>>10020957
How many hours do you have in UFO in the first place? I always expected you to be one of those players who cleared it on their couple of tries since you're always talking about how you only play for 30 minutes per week.

>>10021074
>The average for a Lunatic 1cc is usually around 20-30 hours

From starting lunatic, or what? Most of my normal 1ccs have taken 30 hours.

Dear computer, please do not crash when I am deep into an extra and doing very well.

>>10021074
>The average for a Lunatic 1cc is usually around 20-30 hours if the person has had little to no STG playing time. Even less if they have prior experience. But you can't exactly judge skill on the amount of time it took somebody to 1cc it.
>The average for a Lunatic 1cc is usually around 20-30 hours if the person has had little to no STG playing time.

Indeed. The "fuck savant" isn't aimed to him, but you.

>>10021074
>The average for a Lunatic 1cc is usually around 20-30 hours

I've played for 30+ hours and can't even 1cc on Normal. What does that say about me?

>>10021074
150h.

>>10021253
150h in UFO or 150h of LNBNUFO?

>>10021260
Total. 25 hours or so for first lunatic clear.

>>10021263
What the fuck. Mate, you're really fast. I'm sorta jealous.

>>10021112
Yes, I meant with no prior STG experience. People who have played STGs in the past should have no issue clearing a Lunatic on their first few runs.

>>10021151
20-30 is considered to be average. There's nothing talented about being average. People have gotten their first Lunatic clears within five hours of playing. I do believe that the true nautrally talented savants are those ones.

>>10021188
Not consistent enough. Practice makes perfect!

Good God, is it normal to never win a match when you're playing PoFV Ultra? After about 500 matches played, I've only won about twenty of them.

>>10021277
>Practice makes perfect!

:V

>>10021328
>Practice makes perfect!

This simple saying makes me more upset than anything else. When it comes from somebody who shits all over my accomplishments, it feels like they're just laughing at me. It makes me feel shameful when I've been playing a game for years, and some jerk who hasn't even played the game before comes along and just shits all over everything I've done, ending our matches with, "Practice makes perfect! :)"

>>10021368
You're right. Practice makes better, but it all depends on the individual. The starting skill, the improvement speed, the peak of skill all depend on the individual. It's infuriating, but life's not fair. Just take it, you know you're the one who's put in more effort.

>>10021277
You'd think that's average, but personally I think it's not. Unless there's some study of people

Good to see some humility, but you should be proud and stop thinking you're an average. Try good.

>>10021389
Wait, no prior STG experience.

Yes you're a fucking savant.

>>10021380
It really is quite frustrating. I really can't complain though, they're the better player, even if it is the result of having better genetics and natural talent. At the very least, I can learn from them and try to incorporate stuff from their playstyle to hopefully become an inferior clone of them at some point.

My first victory on lunatic!

Next time I'll start with seven lives instead of three.

My overall Touhou hours are now well past 200 and I haven't managed to clear half of them on hard. I still have a 50/50 chance of failing to clear UFO normal. I almost always reach 1-5 in Ketsui and first loop Hibachi in 2-loop DoJ. I've been playing these new school STGs casually for three years now.

Ten Desires edition.
Kicking off in five minutes or so, looking for bullies and jerks.

>>10022018
Granted, it's not actually all that difficult to get to the end of the first loop in DOJBL.

>>10022422
>facebook login
nope
It would be fun to actually be able to talk to you guys

>>10022445
You do realise you don't need to use facebook login.

>>10022433
Indeed. People who are used to Shanghai Alice games like to talk shit about CAVE games and vice versa. I'm not a stream/IRC/scoreboard/system11 guy so I wanted to bring a tiny bit of realism to the discussion.

>>10022456
signing in is still a pain
oh well

>>10020185
haha yes

totally the best part

>>10021074
>>10021277
i, too, can pull numbers out of my ass

>>10020185
While the sound is pretty cool, the purple 永 leaves just give me a boner.

How am I supposed to deal with Cirno's first nonspell on lunatic? I can circle around her ok on normal and hard but it feels a lot riskier now.

>>10024137
I think you can stay close to her where the bullets just form and they won't touch you since they spawn a small distance away from her. Just don't crash into her.

>>10024137
Just misdirect the first wave to the side and the next two shouldn't be a problem.

>>10024137
Ribbon safespot, then move down after the last shotgun shot. Nonspell should be over around when the second loop of her nonspell starts.

>>10024287
wow that's pretty pathetic

>>10024431
Simply giving the Cirno anon an option to trivialize the first non. It's his choice to use or not use it, none of my concern.

>>10024452
Oh yeah sure, I know.
I was just surprised to find out there's a safespot for that, as if it wasn't trivial enough.

I suppose it could also be used to get more graze for scoring.

I've been grinding EOSD Lunatic, having finished all the games on Normal. A couple of days ago I could get to the end of stage 6 with most shot types, and somehow managed to get Scarlet Gensokyo to half health.
Now I keep dying to fucking stage 1 Demarcation. God damn it. This feels like I'm getting worse.

>>10025457
>This feels like I'm getting worse.
I managed to get 2B in IN extra 2 weeks ago and now I haven't even managed to clear the extra ever since then. I rarely ever get to Mokou now. I hate learning disabilities.

And MoF done. My 3rd 1cc on Hard after IN and PCB.
Captured 6 cards (2 Aki, 3 Hina, 1 Nitori).
And Kanako's last card was indeed a lot easier with MarisaC.

>>10025587
I hope I will one day be able to put "good at danmaku games" on my resume. ;_;

>>10025595
You're gonna need that hope. It's the rare person that exhibits the necessary talent to reach higher levels of play. It has nothing to do with how much or how hard you practice.

>>10025899
>It's the rare person that exhibits the necessary talent to reach higher levels of play. It has nothing to do with how much or how hard you practice.

Bullshit. Most every accomplishment is the result of hard work. Tens, hundreds, maybe even thousands of hours.

>>10025905
Hard work hardly works if you're not physically capable of putting it to use.

>>10025905
>>10025923
Do realize that I'm not talking about simple clears here, anyone can do those with enough practice and thinking ahead.

>>10020784

No computer crashes today. Let's have a lovely stream.

livestream.com/arf2hu
Streaming some Lunatic Subterranean Animism, will be trying for a new highscore, but I'll probably not even clear.

>>10025905
Yes, no one is denying that. Don't forget that the high scores and world records and actually impressive achievements are all done by people with some degree of natural talent, coupled with the ability to improve quickly. Your sub-average untalented sack of shit won't ever get any achievements no matter how much he practices. Stop thinking everyone is the same.

Someone please help me out. I was watching an EoSD run, and on Meiling's non-spellcard where she throws out lines of swords in all directions a static amount, then they recede back to her and get sent out in an angled pattern, the player would use a bomb at this point and get a bunch of points. I tried watching it over and over and couldn't figure our where the points were going, and even tried it out in game myself and couldn't get it to work. Anyone have an idea of what he was doing?

>>10027505
People abuse an anomaly of ZUN's programming to gain high scores in EoSD. When bullets cancel into star items, their value is based on your current graze. If your graze on a specific stage is very high, canceled bullets are worth a lot of points. ZUN programmed it so that bullet cancels due to bombs won't give you much of anything, which makes sense. However, this reduced star item value wears off as soon as the bomb does. People abuse this fact by bombing certain attacks that have many bullets spawning that are far from the player. By the time the very last star items reach the player, they're worth a stupid amount of points that greatly outshadow the game's actual point items.

>>10027547
Hey, that's pretty clever.

>>10027547

Ah I see, that clever. Is this the main reason why ReimuB holds the highest WR score across all 4 main difficulties?

>>10025905
hard work is only half the battle. the other half is knowledge - knowing how to practice most efficiently, identifying patterns, knowing how to counter them, etc.

that is why Japanese players destroy. they've spent tens of thousands of hours playing these games over the years, so they can quickly identify the solution to every situation.

>>10027456
Exactly. It's just like basketball. You can train your leg muscles to jump higher, you can train your hand-eye coordination to shoot better, you can practice strategies for different situations, but you can't teach 7 feet tall. It's a proven fact that nobody is the same.

I finally got the first extend on stage 1 (normal).

>>10030172
Very nice. What's your target score for EoSD Normal?

>>10030493
One day, I'd like to take first place on the MoTK board for this category.

>>10030493
One day, I'd like to take first place on the MotK board for this category

I'll try my luck at an EoSD score run on normal and post the results.

Is it just me, or is Nue piss easy for an extra boss, I captured nearly everything on my first try as sanae B, up until danmaku chimaera, which kinda surprised me.
The stage is pretty tough though.

>>10030817
Not entirely. You just have talent.

Shit score. Maybe I should stop trying.

>>10030817
She is pretty much the easiest extra boss, yes. If you're competent enough at dodging then yeah, the stage can suck, but Nue is pretty easy most of the fight.

Is it weird that I have been attempting the extra stages for these games when I can usually only beat normal or on occasion hard mode? I've beaten Mokou and Suwako but I'm fairly certain that most people consider them easy as all hell.

Please stream, /jp/.

>>10031392
Extra stages are fine for someone at a Normal-Hard skill level.
>>10031402
I'll do it tomorrow morning. I am going to work on some personal projects for the rest of tonight. I have developed some new strategies for LNBNV that I hope to try tomorrow.

>>10031392
I would personally say Mokou is the most intimidating and hardest Extra boss. The stage is pretty brutal too if you don't know what you're doing. But in general, most Extra stages difficulties lie between the Normal and Hard mode of their game, so you're on the right track for attempting them.

>>10031392
try ran and nue, they're quite easy too, I find mokou much harder than most of the extra bosses, excluding koishi

>>10031427
>I would personally say Mokou is the most intimidating and hardest Extra boss.

Huh, she's the only one I've beaten.

Of course, spell practice was probably a pretty big thing in that, but still. Best theme, etc.

I have never gotten my butt kicked in PoFV this hard. I'll be more ready next time.

As far as EX bosses that offer a genuine challenge I'd nominate Flandre. Not a lot of stupid tricks, just be good at dodging.

>>10031427
I sort of agree, sort of don't. Volcano and most of her non-spells are trouble, and Honest Man's Death is cheap. Most of the rest are easy, or at least patternable.

>>10031448
Koishi is disgustingly easy to pattern. The two spellcards with hearts flooding out/in can be beaten by rhythmically moving back and forth, literally, and Paranoia is just "move when threatened". Her non-spells are also weak.

Guyzzz, get the fuck streaming, I need human contact.

>>10032794

I can give it a go next time, although don't expect any kind of good performance. I've played it for about 15 minutes. Ask in the chat next time if you want me to see it while I'm going!

And not only did my computer crash twice in a row, firefox lost my tabs in the process. Augh

>>10033057
I'm looking forward to it.
Would you prefer Cho-Chen-Ra or RefRain ~Prism Memories~?

Say, what's up with the chat?

>>10033063

I've never heard of either of those, so who knows.

What is up with the chat? I think twitch requires registration to talk. If you did mention it, might have missed it on restarts or something.

>>10031963
Koishi is the only EX boss i haven't managed to beat. Her first 4 spellcards are easy like you said but her 2 timeout cards always got me. Rorschach and Genetic of subconscious are not hard but i don't know why i keep dying at those cards. Her stage and non-cards are not a problem though. Sanae is also easy.

;_;

>>10033066
You never heard of RefRain?
It's made by the people who made Samidare.
Great sound track, too, definitely among my top 5 non-Touhou STG OSTs.

Always thought Cho-shen-ra was more widely known, but apparently not.

>>10033175
Man that sucks. What difficulty is that?

Please stream /jp/

>>10033256

ElDestructoe is already streaming.

>>10033183
Can you give some reference links or some such? Definitely interested.

>>10033206
Lunatic, that was the first time I reached Remilia , and somehow managed to survive till her last spell, so I'm not dissapointed at all with that run.

>>10033309
Getting to Remilia on Lunatic is not bad, but quite frustrating to be so close to (I presume) 1cc for the first time.

>>10033152
There should be enough room for error to get past those few trouble spots. Inkblot is about anticipating gaps, I normally stay slightly away from the middle along the bottom. Genetics isn't particularly hard, except she's moving around all over the place, so you can't damage her as easily, so it lasts longer and gives you more opportunity to mess up.

For the endurance cards, the first one really is easy, you move around to make gaps, and stay in one of the wedges. The other one, first bit is dead easy. Second bit the rose expander moves in a U shape so you want to ping-pong between the end points. The third bit I can't really do either, just move to where the walls are coming from at the start, and try not to get pushed to the other corner. You can always cancel it with a bomb if necessary.

How is UFO Extra anyway? I haven't even beaten that on Normal, never liked the UFO mechanics. And did you also include Ten Desires and the PC-98 games, I haven't beaten Extra on those.

>>10033152


I haven't beaten Koishi yet, but I can say for certain that her second timeout spell is easy enough if you started from the corner then simply moved up with the square gap. When you're close to the end, or the roses are about to get you, just bomb. You shouldn't lose more than a life this way, and the power bonus afterward compensates for the bombs you've used.

>>10033441
Fascinating.

Streaming some Touhou, probably Touhou 11 stuff, other recommendations are welcome!

It was a very special stream. I really loved doing that Satori voice. I'd love to be able to see a recording of that reading. Hopefully, we can get more video games working by next time.

I don't think he had any bomb left. It's still a shame even if he won.

>>10038199
Unless he played Marisa, he had.

>>10038178
You couldn't capture a single spellcard? Not even Ran's? There's a few of them in that stage that are trivially simple and can be done by simply strafing.

>>10038240
May seem cheesy but that was the first game i played in nearly a week so i was playing pretty bad, i have captured maybe a quarter of Yukari's spells and the only reason i managed to survive this long was because i somehow got an extra life during Black Death Butterfly or Shikigami Ran, cant remember which. I am keen to try again though once i run through extra again.

>>10038199
I think I wasted 2 bombs. Can't remember.

>>10020784

Time for a refrain. Let's see how this game goes.

bumpo

Is it just me or does SA seem to feel laggy? My FPS is always 60 and I have no input delay but the enemies and some of their bullets look like they are skipping frames or something. It's kind of annoying as all hell.

>>10042212
sa forces 60 fps speed by frameskipping, so yeah, if you have lots of intense stuff going at background, it is laggy

>>10042212
Make sure frameskip isn't enabled.

after a month of playing i finally beat 8 in normal mode. What now? do i play other games or master hard mode on 8?

only bumping so there isnt as many shit posts on /jp/ front page.

>>10043650
1cc all of them on normal then move on to hard.

>>10043650
If you like IN, move on to Hard, then Lunatic, then handicapped Lunatic clears or scoring. If you're more normal, clear all games on Normal, then all games on Hard and so forth.

>>10043650
try all the games, then make your judgment.
Normal progression is 1cc all on normal, clear extras, 1ccs on hard or lunatic.

>>10035112
Damn, he made so many mistakes but still made it. Every one of his replays, he had to fight Shou and Byakuren NBNM. He must have failed a lot at the end before making this or have an iron mind. If it was me, i would've quitted at stage 3.

Missed the stream.

>>10046622

Honestly aside from the music, not very impressed. Too much fast ramming and such, and enemies that require secondary attack to kill struck me as bullshit. Although, it doesn't help that I never properly Figured out the way the bombs are supposed to work. Also the first 2 (3?) stage bosses are an absolute fucking joke.

あげる

>>10046656
The "bombs" are useless since they provide barely any invincibility and bosses tend to fire long streams of bullets. Using it with a combination of the secondary attacks (as shown in the tutorial) is your best bet.

Not dying on my watch.

>>10045004
Go to practice mode and time them out until you find something you're comfortable with.

I will start in a few, but I won't be able to record my voice (or interact with anyone, for that matter). I am mainly testing out a different way of streaming. I will, however, try a NBNF hard 1cc on EoSD with MarisaB, and clear the extra stage.

>>10053263

I completely agree with you there.
The game's really easymodo, but I found the music pleasant enough to recommend it.

I hope Project Blank to a re-release with the same basic mechanics while fixing some of the less than perfect aspects.


I hope I didn't waste your time entirely.
If so, I'm sorry.

>>10053263
>Have you ever tried scoring in EoSD?
Yes, and it's not something I'd suggest you to take upon. EoSD scoring system is godawful, at least in my opinion.

>>10053992
Is there any touhou with good scoring system ?

>>10054111
I especially like PCB, IN and UFO, but I don't think SA or MoF are considered bad either. TD is X X C and I never understood its' appeal, but at least the Extra mode has some interesting skirt-sniffing and some of the stage portions might be interesting. GFW always annoyed me when I played it, and I don't have much knowledge on it. I hear that it has something to do with boss movements, though, so that sounds.. silly, I don't really know. DS and StB might be good if you're into the photo games, but if you're not into them, I'd just skip them.
PoFV scoring is silly.

>>10054245
this is the stream http://www.livestream.com/jhizzle

>>10054252
sorry I am not streaming right now I will post if I figure out what I am doing which I am trying to figure out

>>10020784
PoFV again. Followed by IN most likely.

>>10054111
Just one, IN.

i got a question, /jp/ plays with joystick or just keyboard?, i played once with my cousin joystick and was beautiful

>>10055697
You type like a fucking slav and I wouldn't be surprised if by joystick you meant cock, dude

Does anyone have any advice on beating Reimu's spell card in MoF where she flies around left and right really fucking fast? I play it on normal and still run out of time.

>>10055956
>Reimu
You mean Aya? And you're supposed to time it out, that's the point of a survival card.

>>10055978
Or he probably means IN.

>>10056047
More reasonable to think that he forgot a character's name rather than the title of the game he's playing.

>>10055956
I stay at the left side of the screen and dodge bullets.

>>10055978
Oh, okay.

Yeah, I meant Mountain of Faith but it looks like I can't keep track of names too well.

List your accomplishments and targets, /jp/

>>10056242
No accomplishments, no targets. I play for fun and average-level scoring

>>10056242
>accomplishments
I've beaten Rumia.

>targets
Beat Cirno.

>>10056061
It would be true if this wasn't /jp/

>>10055956
Try not to doe, bomb before you die.

Everytime I try and play EoSD this happens (pic) and I'm unable to play, pretty sure it didn't used to happen but now it does, any ideas?

>>10056489
What the fuck OS is that?

>>10056521
Binboosu sebun

>>10056489
windows 8

>>10056489
I only have that issue when I'm playing it windowed, try doing full screen and see if it works.

>>10056534
full screen works, thanks

>>10056489
Try changing your system locale to Japan.

>>10056540
no prob

anyone streaming?

>>10056489
I restart my computer when this happens. Works afterwards every time, although no clue as to what's actually causing EoSD to freeze.

>>10056242
No accomplishments, have been going for 2.7B in IN extra.

>>10054133
>PoFV scoring is silly.
it's essentially survival at max difficulty (keeping spell points at bonus), which i think is tits. similar thing with podd. if you like the game, it isn't a stretch to like the scoring

also, if you use a character (like mystia) that can't hit the ai, then you eliminate the worst part of the game: the ai randomly dying too quickly. the other random elements can still affect the final score but only by a little, as they end up averaging out over entire runs. so you can directly compare scores and see who did better... not quite like with every other game, but enough to make it legitimate

>>10057708
>it's essentially survival at max difficulty
You can survive without breaking your chain. And since you can't memo fairy spawn locations, when boss attack is used, or spirit spawn locations, you can't memo everything. Actually it's a lot of following the basic pattern of surviving and not breaking the chain, if I've understood correctly. It's too randomly oriented for me. I guess some people find it funny, I'd rather play PoFV against people or with silly survival challenges.

Could someone stream?

>>10059717
I am going to sleep now, but I'll make sure to stream tomorrow. I am sorry for being so inactive. My time is very constrained and I wanted to play a little outside of a stream. I will have more free time soon.

>>10059717
I doubt anyone would want to see someone restarting IN a couple hundred times. Nor do I want to embarrass myself... yet. Once I improve.

>>10059832
I'd like to see that!

>>10059832
>Nor do I want to embarrass myself... yet. Once I improve.

Once you'll improve you'll probably be playing a harder difficulty, or doing some kind of challenge. If it's not not that, you're probably playing too easy, which is kind of pointless, maybe?

>>10020784
IN hard.

>>10056242
accomplishment: i beat eschatos on easy once
target: 5.5 billion in futari god mode

>>10056242
accomplishment: nbnufo

accomplishment: you're mom

Does anyone actually enjoy the games or do you all just want to count points?

>>10061095
I don't play for score. And sometimes I like to play without the BGM and listen to the grazing sound.

>>10061095
counting points is the only reason i enjoy the games. they'd be boring otherwise.

>>10061095
If you're not playing for score, you may as well not play at all.

>>10060751
I'm already playing for score. Hence the "thousand restarts" part.

>>10061095
Large numbers give me pleasure, so yeah, just to count points.

Then i will brag about beating Ran is a very GAR way:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRb8AncmN_k

Only took this long because i played like, once every one-two weeks.

In my most recent achievements would be capturing Mamizou's Wild Carpet on Overdrive but then dying right after... feels bad

Are you complaining that nobody posted in the twenty minutes that followed your post? Because that would be silly, this thread is almost one week old.

>>10061669

And besides, your post didn't encourage any kind of discussion.

I'm kind of tired, but let's see how this goes.

>>10062487
damn murasa last card is damn creepy, good thing she does not do that on izi modo

How hard is Mokou? I only got to Xu Fu's Dimension dimension on my first try, am I really bad or is she really hard...

>>10062804
>easy

please get out and never come back

>>10062487
How come your stream quality always seems so bad? It's fine when not much is going on but when anything happens it becomes unwatchable.

>>10062827
She's one of the easiest Extra Stage bosses.

But that's not bad for a first try.

>>10062855
Okay! I won't give up!

>>10062844
hehehe

>>10062804

>>10062855
>She's one of the easiest Extra Stage bosses.
It's funny because everyone says that for every Extra stage boss.

Finally getting around to playing these, starting with Imperishable Night. Which teams do you guys like? I'm fond of the scarlet team, mainly because Remi's shot is interesting. Also getting a bomb back on death is nice as I always waste bombs like an idiot. Have yet to get past stage 5. Is it just me or is Remiu easier to fight that Marisa? Those stars are hard to follow. Also Remiu's cards are cooler.

>>10063908
I prefer Youmu solo personally, followed by Marisa + Alice and then Youmu + Yuyuko. I just wish Remilia wasn't so god damn fast when focusing. I can hardly handle Alice's speed, and good god, Remilia makes tight dodges nearly impossible. I also find Marisa much more difficult as a boss than Reimu because I don't know how to dodge random bullets.

>>10063908
Marisa is definitely harder to fight than Reimu.
And stage 5 in IN is generally considered to be the easiest stage 5 compared to other games, so you shouldn't really have a problem with clearing it.

>>10062851

It's possibly his CPU choking on the encode. That or upstream bandwidth, but weak computers seems to be a trend.

>>10063908
I'm entry-level so Yukari&Reimu.
Reimu is weak but homing and Yukari is overpowered: once you lock Ran on your opponent you don't need to stay below her and it's better than Remi since she'll follow her moves.
Also, you have ten seconds for a deathbomb after being hit.

And even though, Reimu is a lot easier, Marisa is so much mure enjoyable to fight. 4B is pretty much the only stage that I replay from time to time on practice for fun.

>>10064756
He's got a hexacore.

Would someone mind streaming for a bit?

>>10065504

>>10065504
>2.5

>>10065585
yes?

>>10065604
You didn't beat the WR.

>>10065610
Well, no, of course I didn't. I was not aiming for it, and I'm out of practice so I had some silly deaths and a mistake on the final last spell.

I've never beaten any WR's, I think you're confusing me with someone else if you believe that I'd have potential for such on a whim. Actually, I doubt anyone here could just go and beat IN easy Magic Team WR on a whim. It has required quite a bit of practice to get this far, and the final steps are the hardest ones.

I tired some new stuff (to me), though!

>>10065624
>Actually, I doubt anyone here could just go and beat IN easy Magic Team WR on a whim
Is that a challenge?

>>10065662
If you so wish, go at it. I wouldn't score in stuff for just a challenge though, I'd play things that feel good.

KWS's score is pretty good, by the way. Maybe it has flaws as everything, but it's a rather neat play.

Good luck.

>>10065677
*go for it.
*just for a challenge
*as every run has

I need some coffee.

-

Eh, sorry for using /jp/ for my personal musings again. Nice to talk with someone, though. If you'll go for a WR, I'll hope to hear more from you and your little challenge.

>>10065514
Still nobody streaming?

>>10062851
I like to keep it low to prevent input lag. You know how much that bothers me. I'd say that I have a pretty strong computer, but I'm not sure about my Internet. I wish I could try streaming from a different connection.
>>10064785
Maybe I need more cores.
>>10065514
>>10066073
I'll do it today unless someone else wants to. The weekend is coming up, so expect a lot more streams.

>>10066175
Have you tried increasing the quality to see if it lags?
I know it was lagging on livestream, but maybe it won't on twitch.

>>10020784
Business as usual, but if anyone wants to see something else, feel free to ask!

Any tips for playing Youmu in TD?

>>10069322
Don't.

>>10069322
Pick a better shot type, that's the only tip I can give you.

>>10069322
Lots of stage practice.

How does /jp/ handle runs that fall apart due to soul crushing deaths? I've found my self blinded with rage and abusing myself. I think I have a problem. Can anyone else relate?

>>10070023
Not really.

If I keep failing I'll usually just quit and go back to shitposting, then maybe try again after a week or two.

>>10070023
Just restart and move on, and see your mistakes as part of the learning process.

>>10070023
What cares? It's not like these games are competitive unless you go for a WR or something which you probably don't.

>>10070023
Always. After two years of this self-torture, you'll get used it.

>>10070067
>unless you go for a WR or something which you probably don't.
Why else would you be playing?

>>10070154
>Why else would you be playing?
If you believe that getting a WR is the only thing that justifies playing, your experience must be rather unsatisfying.

>>10070206
My experience is, indeed, unsatisfying. Are you suggesting that it's possible to play an STG for "fun"?

Don't let others ruin your fun.

>>10070343
I get high scores for fun. The blinding rage that comes from fucking up an incredible run just makes it even more fun.

>>10070023
I don't really mind it just because I enjoy playing. It's not about winning for me. I used to get enraged and even cry over losing runs, but it hasn't been like that for a while. Over the past year or so, I have become a lot calmer and accepting of mistakes. Maybe it has something to do with me getting more experienced at the games? I've lost some pretty serious ones at the last second, and while I was still upset, it was was nothing like how I reacted before.

>>10070857
Blinding rage is really fun. Wish that happened more often. I get depressed and resentful, which is not fun at all.

do you play fullscreen or windowed

>>10071326
windowed

>>10071326
Full.

Anybody willing to stream? I'm lonely.

>>10071326
Windowed.

May someone please explain how to get inside Sakuya's safe-spot on EoSD stage 6? I feel as though the chance me getting there is so small, I might as well try and capture it normally.

>>10071447
very carefully

I'd like to watch a stream as well.

Still no streams? I'd really like to watch one.
