May as well start making the OP images other STGs too.

>>10531497
I'll remain within Touhou for now, unless I run out of patterns to screenshot.

I was asked to consider non-Touhou shmups for the challenges, so here you go. I'm aware of the fact that the people in these threads are mainly Touhou players, so I'm certainly not going to stop keeping the OP Touhou releated. This is /jp/, after all.

Which is best?

-Auto collect all items

-Double point-item value

-High power

-Extra life

-Special abilities that activate randomly

>>10531562
Youmu is best.

>I'll remain within Touhou for now, unless I run out of patterns to screenshot.
Well, that's a long time before you go with other STG OP then. Soft refusal

lol wtf y is dere non-2hu in op??

Should have gone with DoDonPachi, /jp/ is really good at it and they would have no problem with it. We used to have some SOF-WTN(on his third month playing) tier players over here a few years ago.

how do I get these ching chong games on my xbox?

At least pick a good game, OP.

>>10531828
Yeah, is he serious with this Touhou shit?

<%SeppoMobile> Can someone go screenshot a cute pattern
<%SeppoMobile> And, any ideas or requests for the challenges in the next thread
<@Underscore> Crimzon Clover.

<@Underscore> Heh, you actually did it.

Why is IRC in charge of our threads?

>>10531855

>>10531976
I'd prefer to see type-i, to e honest

A friend of mine told me that the only way to get good at these games is to kill myself until I'm reincarnated as somebody with talent. I guess he was fed up with me complaining about my DDP scores.

>>10532049
Your friend is correct, actually.

>>10532049
>A friend of mine told me that the only way to get good at these games is to kill myself
Is your friend a Yagawa fan by any chance?

>>10532077
He plays Garegga for score, so yes.

Someone 1cc this.

>>10531882
Yes, I think someone requested CC Unlimited in the thread as well.

Also, I have a hard time understanding how many people complain about the challenge they weren't going to play anyway.

Also, if you have to post IRC quotes, at least remove the names.

-

Should the next challenges be purely Touhou or shall I think of another non-Touhou special?

>>10532156
more non-Touhou, just something less ass & easier to find dl links for that aren't full of viruses & preferable a mode you don't have to grind to just to unlock.

what are some good games like this? all ive played is deathsmiles

>>10532422

>>10532517
Using B-S is actually really good advice, seeing as how it's the best shot type. Being more serious now, A-L is probably the best for scoring, while C-S is probably the best for survival. The people that say DDP is easier than IN Normal usually play with C-S and just blast everything in a mindless fashion.

>>10535380
Just because he stopped posting with a trip doesn't mean he stopped posting, And his 6/6 doesn't mean he's going to stop playing either.

>>10535305

PCB and IN are the most competitive overall, but you can find competitive categories in any of the windows games except for PoFV.

>>10535777
I don't think he posts on /jp/ because everybody here is terrible.

Unfortunately I don't have a huge amount of time to spend on the challenge this week... but here's a quick and dirty run. Better scores await.

Ending of stage 4 boss was hilarious and amazing. I almost wanna upload the replay just for that.
Ending of stage 5 midboss was unfortunate.

Is it even possible, you really need those extends.

>>10538934
There are people who are completely oblivious to the fact that people play these games competitively. Fuck, some don't even know that there is strategies to increase score

>>10538934
No miss has been done. Just gotta keep that rank under control

In CC, how long should I be holding hte lock button if I'm trying to maximize dps on a boss or something? Also, how do I tell when I'm going to break and when I'm just going to clear the screen with the bomb button?

Also, is it always better to double break right away if I can, or should I wait until my normal break is almost over?

>>10540358
Have you tried learning through experience?

>>10540389
honestly, it's quite difficult for me to tell what's going on most of the time

>>10540358
Just release it when you get full lock, doesn't really matter that much.
>>10540375
There's no reason you should wait until normal break is over to double, unless you need the invincibility frames for something.

>>10540405
Thanks. Full lock is when I stop hearing the high pitched sounds, right?

>>10540413
Indeed.
Also, when you reach maximum possible lock (varies depending on if you're in break/double break mode) the final high pitched sound will be noticeably different, which is extremely important on stages in Unlimited mode since that's when all the bullets go away. Doesn't do anything special on bosses though, except for killing attack patterns.

>>10540427
oh wow, just tried that now. and realized I was probably never getting full lock before. Thanks

>>10540437
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's nearly literally impossible to clear Unlimited mode without the bullet-clearing from full lockon kills.

It's also the only way to score well, so there's that too.

>>10540457

Were you always Youmu Konpaku? I'm pretty sure you had a different name.

>>10540457

Are you too important to reply?

I just played a little of UFO.
What am I supposed to do with the Big UFOs? I assume getting 3 of the same color will give you more points/bomb pieces/power chips?
Or does it just multiply the score for grabbing the pieces that it absorbs?

What's the earliest stage I get max power on normal?

>>10541282
with regards to this, is it considered cheating to turn the alpha on the star items all the way down and to turn the effects to minimum?

>>10540478
Nah, Youmu has always been the tripname for the MyonHUTINA tripcode. I've used other trips in ages past but I don't think more than a couple people know which ones.

>>10541282
You say that like it's a bad thing.

Stage 2.

Playing SA normal as Reimu/Yukari

How the fuck do i beat Satori's last spell ;_;

>>10542788
Open your eyes. There is no trick. Either your reflex are fast enough or you need to grind a few dozens hours in various stg.

>>10542788
Your swearing is evidence of your anger. Such emotions will make you mess up. Stay calm!

>>10542788
It's a fixed pattern. Just practice it until it becomes muscle memory. Shouldn't be hard at all on Normal mode.

>>10542788
That spell is really fun to dodge on hard, along with Wind Blowing Down from Mt Ooe. SA has some of my favorite patterns.

Until Orin happens.

>>10542788
Don't go as high as the circle shows, about where I am is the safe zone. I'm bad at drawing circles with paint.

Thank you for your input guys.
I have another question - is there a way to unlock stage 4 in practice without beating it? It's kinda silly that you have to finish the stage to train in it.

Hm, whoever said that windows-era games are harder are harder was right. Also, TH6 refuses to start on windows but works fine on wine too XD. Problem with dirextx7 and screen not allowing 640x480 for laptop.

However, not sure how much since I shouldn't be improving so rapidly just because of difference in difficulty(fast improvement should max out in 3-5 plays for me). Main thing that is throwing me off is that while beforehand our favorite bloodthristy serial killer's hitbox was marked by black triangle on a ribbon it is now the belt bukle and the head is the obvious black thingy. Given how much I use peripheral vision to dodge, it is kinda distracting to constantly guess your hitbox being a space higher than it is ><.

On the other hand, focus is actually useful now for anything else than graze.

(^～^;)ゞ

>>10543070
You could always install the hitbox patch, though most people tend to look down on it.

>>10543130
Yukari is one of my favorite battles. Neat spell cards, awesome music, and just a cool character.

>>10543300
Nothing wrong with playing with the hitbox patch unless you are playing for competitive purposes.

>>10543380
I thought if you were playing for proper "competitive purposes" the hitbox would be useless since it lacks the precision you'd need.

>>10543382
True enough. Though, the point was simply that if you are playing competitively then a modded game would be a definite no-no.

I don't know much about EoSD score play but it would surprise me if the hitbox wouldn't be at least a minor advantage.

>>10543300
Initially didn't want but it might help, though not sure how much it'd help - making Reimu hair blonde might also be 'nice'. Good thing most bullets head from top to bottom.
That said, atm I assume that hitbox is a rectangle bit bigger than the belt buckle....though quick search reveals that it is actually a circle now?

>>10543382
How come?

>>10543548
>the general size of a Touhou character's hitbox is around 5 pixels in diameter (the actual shape seems to be a rotating square with rounded corners). Starting in Perfect Cherry Blossom, Reimu traditionally has a smaller hitbox, measuring about 4 pixels in diameter.
http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Hit_box

>>10543548
>How come?

My understanding is it's not accurate, or becomes misaligned when you die. Something like that.

>>10543641
Except that's measurably wrong. The fact that they say it's a rotating square makes it clear that they're just looking at the hitbox indicator dot.

>>10547264
Stay on bottom and dodge left-right as if grazing, moving upwards sometimes to avoid having the curvylaser fuck you sideways when it is too far away. I find the pattern before that one many times harder tbh, kind of weird place to get stuck at.

How much does the Type Z ship cost in Crimzon Clover? it's not showing up in my shop yet, do I need to do something to unlock it?
This game's not bad, stage 5 is kinda fun & the Yagawa references are cool, I don't like the scoring system though.

>>10547311

What does the patch do?

What the fuck am I reading? Whining about Crimzon Clover, one of the greatest doujin games ever, in a shmup thread?

Wow. I know that we, the shmups forum, generally look down and laugh at this place for being... well, you're you. Need I elaborate? But jesus, I didn't realize that there was living, breathing proof.

Have fun struggling to clear Touhou games. I'll be enjoying the entire genre and not just a mere part of it.

Where in the heck do I get Crimzon Clover???

I'll stop shitposting on /jp/ for a week if you spoonfeed me this once.

>>10548118
Not all.

>>10548118
Indeed, a handful of players there are really good but a lot of people on there are really exceptionally bad. Same thing applies to this side most likely but the best players posting on Shmups forum doesn't automatically make it good.

>>10548113
How can you possibly laugh at us when you're abysmal at these games? Sure, we have losers like DrPlankTrouser, but that's only one guy. Pretty much everybody on /jp/ is like him with their whining and insufferable self loathing.

>>10547976
You have to 1cc either simple or ordinary

I am an undercover ircfag who is half the reason /jp/ stopped having pofv, melty, and soku threads. I can safely say that yes, we do gather up to bully lower level players on /jp/ when we're really bored.

>>10548205
I'm a lower-level /jp/ player and the vast majority of the time I'm simply ignored. People have helped me out occasionally, though.

>>10548203
I'd already 1cc'd simple but hadn't bought Type-2 yet, it showed up as soon as I did, Thanks anyway.

>>10548218
We don't bully through text, but through actions during the match. Subtle, but it works. And yes, ignoring a plead for advice is one of the many ways that they bully people, some will just let out a simple, "Practice makes perfect!" You'd be surprised how upset that makes some people that are expecting actual advice. I haven't actually partaken in it, but I have joined people playing PoFV years ago and made a complete dick out of myself, so I suppose it counts.

>>10548242
but practice makes perfect is good advice...

>>10548205
And you people wonder why your games are dead.

>>10548250
It's also worthless. Like telling someone that breathing air will help you live.

>>10548218
I think the problem is if you're playing at a higher level, it's hard to take a step down and think like someone who is just starting out does since what you may be doing is completely different from what they are doing for now.

>>10548261
not necessarily. Some people just assume there's an easy way out of a difficult spellcard, when oftentimes they simply haven't practiced it enough

>>10548272
Hold shift for focused movement. Easy.

>>10548272
Dodge bullets, suck less. Stop being so shitty. Kill yourself until youre're reborn with somebody with talent. That's so easy. :V

>>10548298
do you think people actually get mad about this? it's incredibly blatant trolling, and it's not like you have a monopoly on good advice. Even if no one responds in the thread, they can always go find a decent replay and just figure it out from there.

>>10548284
i don't know how this is applicable

>>10548205
why

I almost 1CC'd 13 on normal last night, Miko's 2nd to last spell card got me...

ARGH, I'm so fucking close to my first 1cc, but I still can't get over not bombing from years ago. (TH11) It sucks!

>>10548312
It's not dishonorable to bomb :)

>>10548312
Go for it again, just don't forget to bomb when you need it. You get three and a half bombs for free on her stage essentially.

I know you're currently in the process of not taking it easy, but can you tell me if it's possible to erase high scores and game progress in Touhou? PCB in particular.

>>10548326
Delete your score.dat

>>10548326
delete scores.dat

>>10548329
>>10548330
Thanks.

>>10548318
>>10548322
I know, but the thing is 11 taught me you get punished by bombing, it became 2nd nature. I keep telling myself "I have to bomb, I have to bomb!", but it's not natural, if anything it's forced.

By all means, i'll try it again. But god damn it, I thought I would get over it by now.

>>10548335
Which shot type are you using? If it's Youmu or Sanae there are times where you just have to bomb in TD. I couldn't imagine beating Miko's nons with Youmu without bombing.

>>10548338
I switch between Reimu and Youmu, since it's defensive and offensive styles.

I will force bomb with Miko's nons cause they're absolute bullshit. But for her spellcards that's the problem. I know how to get around those, but it's those bullets that I think I can dodge that get me. I think I can dodge it, but completely block out the possibility of bombing.

>>10546685
>>10547287
Sprites are necessarily measured in pixels, but the game plane is not; a square with 3.5px sides is still measurable. A sprite's hitbox isn't dependent on pixel overlap. The actual rendering isn't pixel-perfect either, otherwise the graphics would only move in pixel increments.

>>10548070
lel xD

So about CC.
Simple mode is something like easy. Slower bullets, less bullets and the enemies aren't as aggressive. In exchange there is no break mode and barely accumulate any points for buying upgrades?

What exactly is Break and Double Break?
Are they used for scoring or just to kill everyhing on the screen?

Is the point of 'lock on' to gather all star things within the lock on radius or is it really supposed to hit back row targets on bosses and multi-segmented enemies?

What other cool facts are there about this game?

>>10548284
Another one is hold shift and dodge by the barest margins, a technique called streaming. Streaming instead of randomly moving all over the place makes aimed patterns in games ludicrous amounts of easier and more profitable.

Or you could, you know, just watch few replays. That's probably the second best tip ever, after intro on streaming.

>>10548543
http://www.voidaudio.net/manual/manual_e.htm
That might help. Your conclusions about simple seem mostly correct.

Breaking gets you more points in addition to more firepower.

I'm pretty sure you stop drawing in stars while you're locking. In unlimited, if you get max lock, you clear all the bullets on the screen when your lasers/missles hit. You also slow down while locking, so it's sort of like focused movement.

>>10548578
also worth noting is that double break makes enemies fly faster

>>10548578
Not strictly correct about the locking. You clear the bullets if you kill an enemy with max lock or max lock -1

>>10548578
Maybe I was mistaken then. I noticed that the numbers were huge during Break mode but I felt like my score was still small.

I don't know about unlimited but in simple and original you will gather nearby stars automatically but if you lock anything in the range will get sucked in.

Also is it normal for vertical movement to be disabled while locking on?

>>10548598
oh, so that's why the bullets weren't cleraing when I was max locking those flowers on stage 3. thanks

>>10548607
Not sure about your first two points, but movement should be free while locking. It's probably your keyboard. You might want to try remapping the keys in keyconfig

does locking do any damage to the 2nd boss in CC?

>>10548578
Thanks for that link. I was able to multiply my score by over 6 times on stage 1 after using lock on more.

>>10548622
Thanks for the suggestion. I had to move the shot buttons up 1 row. I'll need to do this for touhou too.

>>10548640
After fighting him I can't imagine how long it take to beat him without using lock on.
Try using Break on him.

Why am I so awful at stage 4? I seriously can't get through it without at least 4 awful deaths... Went from max lives to nothing that last time. Argh.

>>10548607
Nah, breaking hugely increases the amount of points you have. Compare any Type I/II score to a Type Z score; Type Z gains Energy much faster than the other ships, so therefore breaks more, and accordingly its scores are much higher.

When breaking/double breaking your break rate (score multiplier) is multiplied by 2/4, you can lock onto more things allowing for x4.8/x6.4 bonuses instead of just x3.6 (the other score multiplier), and can kill things faster allowing more things to spawn to replace them.

Oh yeah, killing enemies quickly causes more to spawn, if you didn't know, especially the larger enemies.

>>10548586
You also fly faster as well. In Type Z mode you can zip around the screen like mad.

>>10548640
Sure, locking does damage to everything. Also, if you kill a boss with a max (x6.4) lockon in Double Break mode you get a huge amount of points compared to if you do it in any other matter. You should always finish boss fights in double break with a max lock.

>>10548722
I usually save the breaks until around where he shoots those random green bullets, that'll last you long enough to do the entire third stage in double break 'cause it's a pain.

>>10548168
Most of the players in any community are really exceptionally bad.

The worst posters on the shmup forum are the ones who say stuff like, "shump farm so bad :-DDD :V" yet continue to post there anyway. Try making intelligent posts if you want to improve the quality of the forum, instead of shitting it up worse anybody else.

Mikkey pls strm.

>>10548335
>11 taught me you get punished by bombing
Yes, because losing power that you gain back in 5 seconds is definitely more punishing than losing a life.

Scoring challenge: UFO Normal
Score: 1,043,215,920

Replay: www.mediafire.com/?7jf2ux8uqg14492

Mediocre route/dodging but, happy I reached a billion.

>>10548543
Simple is only hard if you're going for score. Yay shotgunning enemies with Raiden-speed bullets with minimal resources.

>>10550408
Why not just upload the replay to gensokyo?

>>10548946
Type Z is so goddamn broken. You can ramp up the break gauge with the few frames of invincibility really damn fast by hovering over a hit box, ala DFK-style.

You can hit the last score extend barely trying on Original Mode.

>>10550749
can you 1cc unlimited with it?

The guy who couldn't bomb yesterday here.
Finally had my first 1cc, and almost got over my "bombphobia"

oh man, it felt SO good to finally get that after 2 years, I don't want this power trip to end.

>>10550780
congratulations! What do you plan to go fornext?

>>10550783
Well i'll finally be trying my hand in the extra stage, but after that I think i'll head to 12 or 7 again, and see if I can get past those.

>>10550785
Cool. I've never completed an extra stage :( not to discourage you though! I look forward to hearing about your coming victories

>>10550775
Unlimited, no.
Original, fairly easily.
The brokenness is not it's survivability (for the most part anyway) but in how much the score ramps up with the Z compared to I/II.

>downloaded Mushihimesama in 2004
>still haven't cleared it's Arrange mode
The day I clear this is the day I throw a celebration.

>>10550799
so, don't compare type-z scores with type-1 or 2. I don't see the problem. No one compares youmu scores with yukari scores in IN

>>10550791
Sweat, thanks.

>>10550780
I watched your replay, just for fun, and to give you some advice if you ever come back to TD.

You missed a very key trance point in stage 2, right before Kyouko's fight a nice chunk of bomb and life fairies enter, trance to get them all.

You should also aim on stage 5 to have enough trance when the first life/bomb piece fairies enter, there should be plenty of trance from the enemies spawning on the right side of the screen to fill your gauge.

Nice job perfecting Futo, on that note, and capturing Guse Flash was pretty cool, too.

>>10550810
The "for the most part" is for the one exception where the score breaking means you hit literally every single score extend. Hell, at parts during Stage 5.1 and 5.2 the game doesn't display "next extend at" because I'm at max lives and I go over a few milestones like that.

tl;dr
Really broken for scores
Semi-broken because you get more resources than a Touhou game

>>10550816
Thanks for the feed back, I'll keep that in mind.

>>10550820
>more resources than a Touhou game
even types 1 and 2 can break far more often than anyone can bomb in touhou.

If you can't achieve the basic survival goal of an unlimited 1cc, it's not broken for survival. If it's broken for scoring, just don't compare it to other types. I don't see how this is a problem.

>>10550823
I only really play TD nowadays, so I'm glad to provide whatever help I can give. Best of luck.

>>10550823

Whenever I see 'feed-back' as unconjoined words, I get images of unimpressed farm animals scoffing their food.

>>10550816
I didn't know people actually watched the random replays people posted in these threads. That's very sweet of you anon.

>>10550835
If it's a TD replay I don't mind offering advice, like I said in my above post. It's the only touhou game I feel confident enough to offer advice.

gay

>>10549344
I don't post there though. I mostly play Touhou games anyway and it's better to talk about those on MoTK

>>10550747
Primarily wanted this replay solely for /jp/.

double gay

Didn't end 2 spells in time, bombed on another, lost 60M from that. Shitty timings everywhere, lost a couple million from that.

I'm pretty happy with this run...

twich.tv/adamar09

I've been streaming, but not sure how much longer it will go.

IN hard at the moment.

Should I stream my CC runs?

>>10552979
Yes you should.

>>10552979

No, you shouldn't.

>>10552979
I vote yes.

>>10552994
>>10553026
Alrighty then.

Can you remove the caution in MoF, it's breaking all my focus on Hina fight

>>10553200
Once you play carefully enough it doesn't show up anymore.

>>10553200
Option -> Hint -> Off

>>10553049
Neat.

>>10553071
Yes?

>>10553213
What even causes it? I usually ignore it.

>>10553489
I think it marks the last position that you died at.

I'm streaming again, stop by if you want to chill and chat. I'm planning to give CC the ole college try, but don't expect to see anything like Youmu's playing.

http://www.twitch.tv/mgfanatic#

Hey, I'm going to stream several Touhou.
I've managed to do a couple of 1cc on normals and have managed to beat 3 extra stages,
If that's a representation of skill. I'm doing this for fun.

Your mission-

score over A,000,000 points in Battle Garegga

Grat run until final non. A disaster there and after it where I messed up countless times due to nervousness. A run that could have easily been 2.6B falls flat on it's face once again. At least I can get 2.0B every run now.

>>10554405
A is a letter, not a number

>>10554435
Maybe it works in hexadecimal.

Fuck Yuugi and Fuck Ichirin

>>10556296
Fuck you.

Stay shit, scrub.

wow, so many streamers as of late.

>>10556778
Should add Streaming General to the OP.

>>10556769
Eat a dick

>>10556785
It's fun to see people do various play-through
It gets me fried up too.

>>10556778
>as of late
It's been like that for a while

Anyone want to list the Touhou Extra stages in order of difficulty?

I can't even beat one but I'd at least say MoF seems easiest, it's mostly gimmicks with the boss.

>>10556892
From hardest to easiest, in my opinion of course.

UFO
SA
EoSD
TD
IN
PCB
MoF

>>10556920
Haha, I beat MoF, PCB and IN, in that order.

>>10556892
To me it's something like:
Easiest: EoSD
MoF
PCB
UFO
IN
SA
Hardest: GFW

Haven't played TD extra to a clear yet.

Note that this is a list of how hard I find them as I am now. I don't know how I would have ranked them if I had no previous experience in any of them.

>>10556920
UFO hardest extra? Wow you're one ignorant UFO fanboy.

>>10557311
Except I'm not.
They're all pretty easy so it's hard to choose the hardest one. I went with UFO cause it's the most annoying one for me.

>>10556920
I'd put EosD as easier than TD, simply for the reason that those fucking souls on the top of the screen have baited me to death more times than I can count.

>>10556920
No PC-98?

>>10557604
Generally when people talk about Touhou like that, they mean from 6 onward, stop being so weeby kudasai.

>>10557604
FW > SoEW > UFO > SA > MS = EoSD > MoF > Phantasm > IN > LLS > PCB

>>10558418
>>10557122
What's with you people and putting Fairy Wars as the hardest? It shouldn't be nowhere near the top.
It's more about getting enough resources from the stage and planning your freezing/bombs than any actual dodging really.
But once you know that, it's really easy.
I mean technically yes, it would be considered the hardest since you're gonna die and bomb a lot, but the game showers you with resources, so you can just force your way through.
Not to mention it's the only extra stage where the bombs deal damage to the boss even on spellcards.

>>10558418
Just my opinion:
SoEW > FW > SA > EoSD (no patches) > IN > Phantasm > UFO > MoF > PCB
Never played MS's EX, and haven't played enough of LLS's to judge. SoEW's position could be considered pre-mature as well since I haven't beaten it.

>>10558547
FW Extra is harder than UFO Lunatic. FW scary.

twitch.tv/yorgje
streaming pcb, probably practicing stages 4-6 no focus

>>10558674
chum is that you

>>10558721

no, that's not me. I havent actually played SoEW extra stage, but here is how i would rank the others:

FW (try getting a NMNB of this one, if you dare, shit's tough yo) > TD > IN > MoF > UFO > SA > MS > EoSD > PCB > LLS > PoFV

Flandre is easiest but Patchy and books could be troublesome. so it doesnt get ranked last. Marisa is rough, stage portion has rough spots too. UFO stage is rough, boss isnt. IN has that one non-spell. MoF has that one timeout. etc.

but yeah im not sure how someone could think FW is not among the hardest extras. it's not even much easier than the lunatic mode.

twitch.tv/chirpy13

LLS LNB attempts again.

>>10556892
In terms of scoring:
PCB > IN > UFO > TD > SA > MoF > EoSD

In terms of first clear:
SA > TD > EoSD > UFO > IN > PCB > MoF

In terms of patterns:
IN > PCB > UFO > TD > SA > MoF > EoSD

In terms of shit:
SoEW > all

>>10556892

From hardest to easiest:

GFW
UFO
MoF
SA
EoSD
TD
IN
PCB

I only cleared PCB, IN and TD...

Question regarding SA. Why does Marisa's orb pattern keep changing? (I've counted 3 different ones already). How I change them?

>>10560532
I think it's focus and shot button at the same time to change patterns. Not sure though.

>>10560538
Oh. It seems that it's Marisa+Patchy only.

These touhou IRC's are filled with legit faggots. Apparently if you mention a games flaws you are lying and get banned.
That faggot dickass powertripping elitistic gay-asshole self-loathing dick kickbanned me from one channel again (Seppo's own words, I like it. Describes him perfectly. At least he knows he's pathetic)
By the way, I know you actually love seeing your name posted, despite you saying otherwise. I can tell you're hungry for attention and I'll be happy to oblige you with that.

How can you play a game filled with girls yet love cock so much? I've always wondered that.

>>10560672
Oh and #kusoplay is the IRC room of which I speak.
I advise you to go there if you want to visit a room filled with wanna-be elitists that are actually shit at the games. I guarantee you'll barely know any of them, yet they speak as if they're gods gift to STG's.
Don't say anything bad about the games though, that will make them cry.

>>10560674
i don't give a shit faggot

>>10560674
naming the channel you speak of is very...let's call is classy and mature. I may not know what everything was about, but I know Seppo well enough to know he doesn't ban people for no reason, so you must have done something, at the very least. butthurt little children rageposting is actually pretty amusing, though.

and doesn't the name of the channel imply they're know they're shit at STGs? you're being silly.

>>10560687
Well you best start giving a shit, eh?

>>10560672
>>10560674
Wasn't this gone over in the thread just before this one? Something about the undercover IRC Illuminati going on /jp/ to kick them out of their own threads?

Spooky.

>>10560696
I understand that you're trying to subtly imply you aren't from that channel but some parts of your post give you away completely. Mainly the last line.
Besides, why should I care about keeping their channel a secret when they act like such blatant assholes?

>>10560672
>>10560674

>>10560719
/v/ tier reaction images. That'll show me.

>>10560715
sorry, but when someone names a channel shitplay, it means to me they play like that. I couldn't think of another reason. I have never visited that channel nor do I intend to simply because you are trying to make /jp/ flood it.

>>10560708
I saw that too, what the hell

Not your personal army.

>>10560731
It's a well known fact they say they're shit, but don't actually believe that. Despite it being true.

>>10560672
>>10560674
How about you fuck off with your IRC drama?

>>10560742
How about go fuck yourself?

>>10560672
>>10560674
IRC is known to be filled with elitists. This is nothing new.

This seems like it will be interesting. Can you guys tell me where I can get the game?

>drama in the STG thread
Can't you people get it in their your heads to stop shitting this place up with your drama?
Quoting the last 15 or so posts.

>>10560744
that may be true, you may be very right about them actually thinking they're good, but where is the basis of your assumption? it's a personal thing for me, but I don't like assuming things without any sort of semi-proof at least.

Keep this on your own board you weeaboo fucks

I am so bad, but I'm one of the highest ranked players in the world, so let me just go on /jp/ to beat them up and then post about how bad I am!! ;_; I sure hope that SOMEBODY will praise me!

>>10560815
That sounds exactly like them

>>10560815
face when making account on shmups forum to escape this shite on jp

>>10560883
But you're jumping from one bunch of elitist assholes to another!

>>10560897
after lurking for a while i think i can deal with it because at least they seem honest in their assholery

everyone is assholes?

>>10560920
Yeah, it's pretty much a decision between which assholes I prefer more.

>>10560959
how do each of the assholes differ though?

I'd love to say something about putting this thread back into the hands of anon (you know, actual jp posters) but the IRCluminati will just scream "lol leejun xD" and you fucking IDIOTS will eat that shit up and parrot it.

I sincerely hope this other STG shit like Crimzon Clover keeps up just so there'll be a more solid case for having these threads moved to /vg/.

>>10560959
Some are firm whilst others are nice and soft.

>>10560913
Most of those forums have gotten over themselves too. Since it seems like most 4chan posters are depressed or depraved that's not possible for them.

>>10551327
Late night stream. UFO normal again, for now.

>>10560883
Shmups forum is a far better place to talk about STGs. Except if you openly admit that you suck and constantly whine and complain about it. As long as you can ignore people like Gus and the, "Oh, that's so easy :V" crowd, it's a pretty good place.

>>10560674
I've never heard of that channel before but with a name like that how can you not expect it to be full of shit?

>>10560995
Doujin games have always been /jp/-related. The fact that you wanted to see the Touhou gameplay threads moved off-board even before they actually included other shmups just shows how much of a shitposter you are.

I see these comparisons of Extra stages, but where would PCB's Phantasm fit in?

>>10561328
In your mothers gaping anal hole.

Does anyone have any sheetmusic for touhou songs arranged for guitar? Everything I've found is for piano

>>10561677
I don't think this is the right place to ask, and sorry but I can't help you with your query.

>>10561677
Quickly google it and you will find it in 5 seconds.

>>10561827
But they're all for electric guitar, I was looking for acoustic ;_;

>>10559912
I don't get it, how is TD a hard first clear but labelled as possibly the easiest game

>>10561903
It's hard for a new player since they'll probably die a lot, and TD is stupidly resource stingy if you die at the wrong times.

>>10561903
The normal stages are the easiest, not the extra one.

>>10561386
Why are you so mean?

How much of /jp/'s population actually play the games?

>>10562707
120%

>>10562707
I don't play Touhou because they're pretty shit compared to other shmups like Ibara or Ketsui.

>>10562707
Everyone, I would like to imagine.
If you don't play 2hu you shouldn't even be allowed on /jp/.
In fact, captcha should be replaced by spellcard capture.

>>10562775
Yeah, but then people would just keep reloading it until they get an easy one.

>>10562835
Could just make it Eternal Meek on Lunatic, soon we'll have lots of really good Touhou players.

>>10562844
That kind of random-but-simple card would actually be pretty easy for a machine to dodge.
See: PoFV's AI

>>10562852
Well, when you put it like that, it's probably better not to use spellcards.

We're gonna need a new thread soon.
Could our IRC overlords perhaps make the next challenge less shitty than this one?

>>10562932
Nah.

>>10562932
So, you posted a UFO Normal score, then?

>Except if you openly admit that you suck and constantly whine and complain about it

You can openly admit you suck. Just don't blame the game for your own lack of skill. Accept that your deaths are your fault and you'll be able to post whatever the fuck you want without being ridiculed - in fact, people will be happy to help.

DrTrouserPlank was ridiculed because he cried about the games being unfair and impossible and cheap, etc. when in reality he just sucked. And people still tried to help him all the god damn time.

Giving attentions whores attention is exactly what they want, stop it.

>>10558715
speaking of sucking, I'll be practicing some pcb hard on stream for about an hour.
