There's unlimited continues, that's good.

Practice.

It's harder compared with MoF

>Touhou games are getting harder

and i fucking love that

SA is harder than MoF, and MoF is much harder than IN.
Yeah, difficulty levels have been escalating since IN

I can't even beat Yugi on lunatic. Shit is insane, but also incredibly fun.

>>1139943

Practice, practice, practice. Touhou isn't a GRINDAN RPG.

After playing nuke-loli 2 hours straight I quit. Can't pass the goddamn 2 suns and the black hole spellcards. Well at least nuclear fusion is nice but I think 3rd eye is the best track.

Also why the fuck the nekomata has a popsicle dragonslayer?

>>1139963
Then you dont believe the heart of the cards!

>>1139983
Way to contradict yourself.

>>1139930
wait, you can start where you died??
unless you're talking about continues, i need to learn how to do this

MOF and SA are definitely harder than the other 3 before. I can get to stage 6 in those without continue anytime, but I can barely get to stage 3 in MOF and SA (was in stage 4 a few times though). Needs more practice.

>>1139992
If you play like that you make mistakes, take a break and go back to it. My first two attempts in any shmup are always the best, after that it goes downhill until I give it a rest for a while. Well, possibly DDP:DOJ is the exception (which I need to restart about 50 times to chain the first two levels properly).

this is not your blog, use the existing 2hu threads

man remeber the the pre opendns days when there was no 2hu on /jp/? soooo beatiful

is there any strategy you can do with that "border" ability?

Melty Blood > SA

God, please, end summer now...

>>1140071
Minus one

>>1140092
So never?

>>1140075
Summer is already over where I'm at.

>>1140134
I'm serious. The final spell should be a time-outcard that is literally an impassable wall of bullets that requires you to use all your bombs across two lives to get past it.

>>1140168
Why stop at two lives? Make it so you have to pick up every single life-star in the game, not die once, and not use a single bomb until the final spell card. Also, you have to time each use, and Marisa simply can't win.

The midboss on the last stage gave me a heart attack when she started speeding up, I'm amazed I didn't die.

>>1140182
>and Marisa simply can't win.
Now you've gone too far.

>>1140182
thats it?
i can still do that with a blind fold

>>1140190
Ok, the secret Marisa D can win, as long as you don't move up or down, only left and right, for the entire game to earn the secret life.

>>1140182

Let's say that his version is easy mode, and your's is normal.

>>1140231
What about the other modes?

>>1140248
Sorry, correction.
Hard mode: "You lose, good day sir."
Lunatic mode: "You lose, good day sir," and it wipes your hard drive.

>>1140239
Lunatic mode: You lose, good day sir.

>>1140168
It should be theoretically possible to no miss/bomb it.

>>1140566
You're missing the point.

>>1140566
Shirou? What are you doing up this early?

I 1cc'd SA on normal yesterday when I downloaded it on my first attempt, and honestly it did feel much harder than normal on say, IN or PCB. However after playing it again and 1ccing it on Lunatic earlier today, I can honestly say it feels like 'Normal' is the only difficulty setting that is getting harder.

Lunatic in SA wasn't that much harder as say, IN on Lunatic. While Normal on IN is considerably easier than in SA. I think ZUN is just trying to give most 'normal' players a harder game to play, especially since the popularity of Touhou is rising. Regardless, I'm having a blast playing SA right now, but I think I'll end up getting bored of it after a week. It's sort of depressing when I can only play STB for difficulty, since despite playing it for quite a while now, I can't ace some of the stages every single time.

>>1142573
>and 1ccing it on Lunatic earlier today

>>1142573

>and 1ccing it on Lunatic earlier today

Hahaha, bullshit. Replay or GTFO.

Is it just me when I think SA = PCB + MoF?

>>1142573
fuck what a monster

>>1142573
"Tourneyfag" go back to playing Touhou games at tourneys!

Every fucking stage and boss in SA is like an extra stage, where the hell are my regular spell cards that don't require any thinking?

>>1142842
what the fuck did you just say

>>1142853
You even have trouble with Spider Loli?

>>1142915
Completing the game on one credit.

>>1142915
I believe it stands for one credit completion.

I've only played PCB once on easy modo, and I tried to play SA on normal, and JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE FUCK.

Also, could someone please explain what >>1cc is

I have trouble reaching level 5 in PCB on normal without a continue do I have any hope of beating this game?

>>1142937
hey me too

also no

First time I played, I got to stage 5 without using continues.

Later after doing stage practices, I got to stage 6 and died on the last fucking spellcard. I got so far even though I made fuckton of mistakes and noticed the game feeds you with extra lives. That and you can bomb like a crazy without too much penalty.

tl:dr; it isn't so hard after all

HOLY FUKCING SHIT FUCKING NUUUUUUUUUUKES

Yeah, I just played stage 4. This is fucking GAAAR and MANLY and SpinZAKU LuLZ!!11

Almost as awesome as that boss in DoDonPachi.

(Yeah, I already beat the game on Lunatic with all characters ten times, just now played stage 4 with Alice.)

Rin's first spellcard creeps the living fuck out of me. When I saw what was happening with the zombie fairies I kept thinking about Boos from mario in how they slowly creep towards you and then explode as you try deperately to keep them at bay.

But yes, I'm a regular hard mode player for EoSD, PCB and IN but so far this game is raping my ass tender. ZUN's really outdone himself bringing back some of the most frightening spellcards of the previous games for the stage 4 boss.

Harder? more like getting stupider

Nuclear touhou? Come on, ZUN, I thought you had an imagination.

>>1140031

ya dood y0u ar3 so 1337

>>1143058

touhou was made by a drunk man

>>1143058
Among the various things I've seen, a Nuclear Loli seems like a good like a good idea.

Fuck yeah! 1cc'd on easy.

>>1139992
Sup, I'm this guy. After waking up this morning I tried to beat SA with the power of SCIENCE and I 1cc it. Nitori is fucking broken.

I take back everything I said about SA's difficulty ever. I only tried it 3 times now on Normal.
1. (Nitori), I stuck at stage 5 and used several continues to clear that stage alone and 1 for stage 6.
2. (Patchouli), I cleared Normal with 3 lifes left
3. (Alice), I cleared Normal with 7 lifes left.
Wtf? I shouldn't be able to 1cc it with 7 lifes left. SA (Normal) is much too easy.

My first 1cc Normal and with five lives remaining. I was about to give up after losing two lives in stage 3, but it turned out well.

>>1143428
You might consider not playing 'normal' anymore if you found it to be easy. I beat it with several lives left with Marisa/Alice on my first attempt as well, but it was only to get a feel for the game.

Normal is considerably harder than normal on pretty much all the other Touhous.

is it just me or are the bullets much harder to see?

At least the red ones on the red background and the bullets hidden in the sun.

Do people lie on the internet?

Not exactly. More like, if it's written in Japanese, then it's true.

>>1143450

I think I made Hard and up a little too hard, but, well, the people who play those difficulty levels are probably a little crazy, so ... I think Hard might be about as hard as Lunatic has been in the past, maybe.
But, Normal came out pretty well, I think. Yeah.
---

how come spellcards are so fucking useless?

I'm still working on 1cc of SA Normal. It's giving me a lot more trouble than MoF and IN did. Those two games I can consistently beat on Normal.

PCB on the other hand, although I've 1cc'd Normal with every character, it was by the skin of my teeth or by sheer luck.

Also, it's really freakin annoying that your point value counter resets to 50,000 every time your die. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET A 10 DIGIT SCORE LIKE THAT ZUN!?

Don't die?

>>1143739
Use your fucking bombs and you will clear Normal with max. Lifecount. Not that hard to press X from time to time.

>>1143877
Don't you have to capture cards to get lives? Meaning, you can't bomb them?

>>1143906

I think the only time that star doesn't drop is if the card times out. I think you can use a bomb but to be honest I'm usually too busy to notice.

>>1143906
You get a star if you don't die or let it time out.

Speaking of lives, does anyone know what's the maximum number you can collect?

>>1143987
I had 8 Extend on the right half when I cleared. I don't think I had more in an earlier stage.

>>1143465
it's not only you
