I feel like this isn't very good, so I'm not gonna upload a replay yet, gonna try more. I know the strats but I don't have the skills, since I never try to score in MoF (I have yet to beat lunatic, VoWG isn't nice).

I can't stand UFO
Fucking memory based 1UPs

>>12076212
>the winner will be picked without regard to difficulty setting
I have nothing against this, but didn't you include a winner for all difficulties before?

>>12076899
wat
Maybe if you care about getting all what, 18 of the red UFO summons without a single missed token? You don't even necessarily have to memorize routes to get them, and even if you screw up you can just grab a rainbow instead and you've barely lost anything.

>>12076899
Get a load of this spoiled 2hu kid
If you want the extend, work for it.

>>12077142
I'm autisitc, I must get all of them

>>12077244
Get the blue ones fgt, do you even score?

>>12077275
You get a higher score by surviving longer than getting the blue ones and dying early.

>>12077346
stop dying

>>12077372
make me

>>12077052
not since I started running the threads, no. I usually said "all difficulties welcome" but just quoted the highest score as the winner in the next thread, so I decided to make that explicit here.

Is fraxy dead?
I can't find a download link working

How many years until I can 1cc a Dodonpachi game?

>>12079956
That all depends on you and your commitment.

There aren't many people in the world who can 2-ALL a Donpachi game.

>>12079968
Just a plain 1cc? 4 hours with Type-C.

>>12076732
I can't capture Aya's spells for shit so I never get a good score.

>>12079992
I have the same issue. I usually have to bomb at least once on all of her spellcards.

Playing for points is fun!

>>12080245
yes it is, the challenge is great

I managed to 100% StB. The "newspaper extra" was just unfinished content, right ?
Also is DS generally harder than StB, or should it be relatively easy now that I've cleared StB ?

>>12080584
Congrats.

any tips for training lunatic?

>>12080584
I find DS way more harder - still haven't finished it yet. And it seemed kinda "unripe" in some ways. StB was a lot about tactic and made more fun, in DS you actually need to be good a danmaku at some point.
But if you made it through 9-6 in StB, you can probably make it through all tengushooter spellcards i believe. I still have nightmares of 9-6, even three years after.

>>12080954
Optimism.

>>12080982
Strangely enough, 9-6 wasn't even the scene that took the most photos; I think that was either 10-6 or Ex-7, but I was multitasking for those which was probably why they took longer than they should have. 9-6 took around 370 which wasn't enough for me to get really sick of it.

>>12081031
Pretty much all StB spellcards made fun, even after 500 tries. But the last two pictures of 9-6 were just random as hell in my opinion and it took me many tries until i got a favorable pattern. But i guess different people always think a different spellcard is the hardest, i for example never got any problems with yamaxanadu or suika, i don't even remember much from their spellcards.
Yukari's Ex-4 was my favorite of all, at first glance this looks like "i'll never ever get more than 2 picture in this" - but after some tries you notice there's pretty much no randomness involved and you can simply trial and error to avoid the deterministic projectiles. 10/10 tengu 🐦

any tips on beating touhou , i can't seem to beat EoSD on normal with 3 continues , i'm guessing i'm really bad

>>12080954
make yourself believe it is the easiest difficulty so its your only option.

Finally got around to play Ten Desires. Have I finally gotten good at 2hu or is this game insanely easy? The stages are barely challenging at all and except for a few certain spell cards, the bosses aren't that much harder either. This feels weird.

>>12084698
The former, I would think.

how hard is it to play 2hu with a drawing tablet?

>>12080954
Memorization (you know, how the course of the bullets never change after they've been shot, I mean) and creativity (some places are better than others and you can do some tricks to overcome a few spells). Optimism too, as said. Also, get as much distance as you can from thoughts like "Why am I even doing this?", "It won't bring me shit" and alike, replacing them by >>12083570

>>12084891
well STGs already kinda work with touch screen so I wouldnt think it would be too crazy.
theres a patch for 10-13 that lets you control your character with the mouse if you actually wanted to try it.

>>12084698
No, the stages do suck and the whole game suffers from ~balancing~ (reduced everything and forced invincibility so you can point blank things, yada yada). It's the new PCB.

>>12084698
A bit of both. This is easier than most of the others. On par with PCB, but more gimmicky. At least ZUN didn't mess up the Extra stage and offered some incentive to play it.

60M is possible on Easy. One non-deathbomb and some grey items in this run, but mostly solid.

I don't know anything about Easy mode.

>>12086855
You're welcome ;)

Still nothing.

There's a score attack tournament being run in about a month and a half, for anyone who wants to try out some competitive scoring.

Rules and sign up link:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11812361/sukoata/notes.txt

Stage 3 is hard, too. Still made some cancel mistakes, so it's still very improvable. Currently also working on stage 2 and 4 routes. The former being optimizing and the latter don't die.

Missed 1 item, could have done more faith management too.

My current controller is about to break (It often doesn't register the input when I press right on the D-pad, which makes stuff like basic streaming almost impossible), so I need a new one. My current one is pic related, a Firestorm Dual Analogue 3. Should I just buy another one of those (my current one is over five years old and was second hand so it's not like it's breaking from being poorly made, but more from overuse), or is there a better controller that works well for touhou ?

>>12090747
lots of japanese superplayers use sega saturn controllers, but if that's worked for you, don't feel obligated to go changing things up for no reason.

>>12090747
On that subject, has anyone tried an SNES USB controller ? I loved the SNES controller on the real thing, but I'm worried that a USB one might be badly made, or that it would be difficult to be precise with diagonal movement in touhou.

>>12090849
Consider using an adapter
Or making one, and using a real SNES controller.

>>12090747
>playing STGs with a controller
what's next, playing STGs with a steering wheel and focusing with a gas pedal?

>>12090929
If I had one I would try just because of your post.

How do extra spell cards work? I'm new to touhou series and I got one on wriggle for no bombs and no lives lost, but I did it again and it didn't work?

>>12090929
Nothing wrong with that, nignog

>>12090929
I think it's really great. You just have to make sure the controls fit the game PERFECTLY, otherwise you'll make it ridiculously clumsy for yourself.
D-pad is a must.

I use DS4 myself. Had to use JoyToKey to remap my controls, since the game wouldn't allow me to use the d-pad without it.

>>12091229
IN has a time orb mechanic, if you pass the value for a stage to only take an in game half hour instead of hour, you get to face the bonus spell cards.

>>12091253
Oh man, I was 2373/2500. Damn.

>>12091253
How do you earn extra time orbs? Every time I try to I get less and less

>>12091287
Keep your human/youkai level above/below -80/80% when using PoC to get more points from the time orbs.

Also, you get large amounts from spell bonuses.

>>12091297
PoC?
And I got all the spell bonuses

>>12091299
Point of Collection. And spell bonuses mean more in later stages.

>>12090929

>>12091300
I DID IT
Thanks man

>>12091316
Congrats. You get an extra continue that you can't use against Kaguya.

>>12091234
i'm pretty sure some people can play on a controller but given the fact that you're pretty much raping your controller after a session of STGs it's no wonder you have to buy new controllers frequently

>>12091318
The real use for time is against Kaguya's five last spells, though, so it's not useless.

>>12091318
You're wrong. He can see all of Kaguya's last words even if he fails all of them.

>>12091359
I was talking about running out of lives before then.

>>12091365
I don't understand. Do you use continues to clear the game?

>>12091379
You cannot use a continue against Kaguya, but you can against Eirin.

A lot of mistakes, but still a good score for now.

If there's people here that can 1cc IN on lunatic, could you tell me how long it took for you to get that good? I can't get past 4A/4B on normal, I want to cry.

>>12091554
I started playing in November, and L1cc'd IN in January. In that time I also 1cc'd the rest of the games on normal and ESoD/PCB on hard though, so it's not like I was just focused on IN.

>>12091554
I don't remember precisely how long, and since my old twitch account got banned i can't even check the dates on my old hilights. But I feel like it took me several months to get my first IN normal 1cc (first touhou 1cc). I think I went for a hard 1cc directly afterwards, which went comparatively quickly, and then went for normal/hard clears in several other games before returning to IN lunatic, which again probably took a couple of months of dedicated practice.

It might be easier if you just stick to one shot type and learn how to control them well (I'm guessing you're switching around since you wrote "4A/4B"); border team is probably the easiest. Also, Marisa is a very difficult boss, and I would personally recommend bombing most of her patterns on a first 1cc.

>>12091554
4 years. I still don't get past 4A/4B too often though.

>>12091576
>>12091583
>>12091595

That makes me feel better, I haven't been playing for nearly as long. Thanks.

I keep switching characters because I get mixed messages from people that some make the game easier than it should be. I don't want my first major milestone to be worst.

>>12091660
I've been playing for longer than you and I can't clear the game with continues on normal, so count yourself lucky

Just managed to pull off my first 1cc on normal, but then got so excited that I forgot to make a screenshot in time. Take an ending instead.

Seeing how Sukuna is a pain in the ass, I'll probably pass on trying to 1cc without bombs though.

>>12091720
Please don't post ending images, or at least spoiler them.

>>12091720

That Sakuya looks cute.

Good idea

>>12091554
I think my first IN Lunatic 1cc was somewhere in 2011. I had been playing sporadically for a while before that, maybe a couple of years.

Secondary as fuck, here.

my touhou gets locked like i am holding in the left arrow key, even when i am not, and hitting the opposite key isn't fixing it
i tab out and confirm its not my key every time, this is getting frustrating, it just keeps happening,
does this happen to anyone else?

>>12092692
Yes, it's a common bug. Press the correspondent key from the numpad to fix it.

someone pls strm onegai

Complete STG amateur here
Still haven't 1cc'd normal yet, but I've found something I can't figure out in stage practice for stage 4 EOSD on normal. For some of the stage enemies, without me using a bomb, dying or hitting max power again, sometimes the bullets turn into point items and disappear. What is going on?

>>12094942
Hitting certain fairies in that stage cancel the bullets on screen. It's actually important to do so on higher difficulties. They're the fairies that take a few seconds to kill, and they shoot diamond bullets in a slowly rotating pattern.

What's a good place to buy the Touhou games?

>>12096737
Unless you live in Japan, you don't without paying large amounts of money to import them.

>>12096737
http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Buying_Stuff

As >>12096754 said, expect to pay big bucks for shipping.

Jesus, the lunatic AI in PoFV doesn't joke around. Are humans really meant to be able to beat them ? Even after surviving for ages, they still rarely take the first hit of damage.

Hellsinker went fucking missing like Atlantis. It was one of my first shmup after seeing a video on youtube years ago. You can imagine how that went.

Now I want to try it again and I can't find a download link anywhere, no direct downloads exist (that isn't the trial version), no torrents that have a single peer.

Does anyone here have hellsinker and would be awesome enough to upload it? Or know where I can download it.

>>12098463
The AI plays perfectly (barring a few attacks it has trouble dodging) for a set amount of time, then runs into something. The first round of the final stage has an infinite timer.

>>12098548
They most likely all got taken down because of the official english releases.

>>12098583
can't buy it/download it off the site because they only had the download in a bundle for 2 weeks a year ago.

Who thought this was a good idea god damn. Guess I'll just import the god damn game, I didn't want to enjoy some shmup today anyways.

>>12098578
Do you have to lose a life to Shiki, then ?
Also what I meant was the AI in match mode, not story/extra mode.

>>12098675
Match Mode AI lasts for a very long time, unless one of them is Shiki or Aya.

>>12098592
>>12098548
Not sure if you're still around but I did some searching in the archives because I know it was posted before and find this.

http://www.mediafire.com/?48812jiax8m1c#6m3438vkcxqpb

Not sure if it's the trial or not but there is no reason to believe it is.

Why did ZUN make shameimashit so overpowered in PoFV? When I play as Youmu I have trouble winning match modes on hard difficulty, but when I play as shameimacunt I can beat everything on lunatic.

>>12101299
A programming oversight. The AI can't read Aya's Ex attack.

She is actually a rather weak character in PvP, though.

>>12101354
That doesn't surprise me, but I've never played PoFV online.
Which 2hus are considered strong in PvP?

Does anybody have the OST of Danmaku Unlimited 2?

>>12101376
Reimu, Marisa, Youmu, Komachi, Eiki.

PROGRESS

What game(s) should I play to get my anus ready for 14.3?

>>12101396
There's lossless link on ffshrine

I haven't played a touhou game before and i'm currently downloading Embodiment of Scarlet Devil because I heard that's a good place to start.
Does anyone know where there is a patch to get to get it in English?

>>12102840
en.touhouwiki.net

>>12102492
Cute green dude.

>>12102840
If you grab it off moriya shrine then the patch comes with it. Although the moriya shrine version has lives set to 5 by default, which is wrong and should be changed to 2 in the options.

>>12102920
>should be changed to 2 in the options.
But 2 lives is wrong too. In every touhou game player starts with 3 lives by default.

>>12102495

I guess the two photography games. If you have Last Words unlocked for IN or overdrives for TD then those too.

>>12103436
Nah the default is 2 lives. Maybe you're thinking of bombs? I know in PCB Reimu starts with 3 bombs.

>>12105992
Try pressing the reset button in the settings, see what happens.

You're confused because of three lives equals two red stars or hearts on the HUD (two extra lives). The final life does also account for one, even though you don't get an indicator for it in the HUD.

>>12103436
I stand corrected. And you were right, I considered the stars lives. I'm too used to counting extra lives, EG no extras is 0.

Today I started playing Phantasmagoria of Flower View like yesterday, but now I noticed that my game speed and fps is stuck to 50% of normal.
It's steadily at constant 30 fps.

Anyone know how to fix this problem?

>>12106692
Yeah, don't play on a bread machine.

>>12106723
Computer specs are not the problem, I know that much. The game ran perfectly for this whole week until now.

tfw failing 6 Kaguya spells

>>12106775
>>12106692
I had the same problem, run a virus scan.

>>12107080
Nice. It would appear you'll get a new high score soon.

>>12106078
I always saw those as lives in stock, lives that you can lose and still be alive. If you have 2 red stars and you die 3 times then you lose.
With that definition then you have 2 lives in the games, which is the definition I was going with. I do see your point though.

I've been long since spoiled by Reimu. Piloting another character in this game feels both terrifying and disorientating.

I like it.

>>12107651
You should be playing on a higher difficulty.

>>12107503
Nope. Maybe next year.

>>12107693
Why. Can't I play a credit or two or Easy when I feel like it.

How do you get past Sanae?
Shes okay at some parts, Aya was worst. But her spells can be really troubling, tips?

>>12108176
put ten layers of condoms for ultimate protection.

>>12108176
Press the X button

>>12108185
Using multiple condoms at once causes friction between each of them which breaks them and is therefore less safe than using just one condom.

The best way to get through a troubleboss in MoF is to bomb the shit out of her.

>>12108445
>Using multiple condoms at once causes friction between each of them which breaks them and is therefore less safe than using just one condom.
If you know stuff like this you shouldn't be on /jp/.

>>12108446
Maybe he was a condom otaku.

>>12108446
For similar reasons as I stated above, carrying your condom around in your wallet is a bad idea. heat and constant friction will cause the condom to tear and make it risky to use. Tht is, of course, assuming you carry your wallet around with you when you go outside. I was taught this in biology class when I was younger. I thought it was common knowledge.

I put on a condom when I play stgs

>>12108640
Is it a condom suit? That might be fun.

>>12107781
If you are capable of playing at a higher difficulty, why play at a lower difficulty?

>>12108693
To score perhaps?

>>12108693
Yeah, well. I only did it since I saw another guy do the same thing on the replay uploader. I just happened to post a screenshot here since why not.

Sorry to disappoint you, but Easy is actually my least played difficulty in PCB.

I don't know. PCB Hard is a thing I play for a couple of credits every three months and then magic happens.

Everything from stage 4 onwards was a big mess, somewhat explainable since it was my first time going for Merlin and trying a bit different stage approach. I don't really have an excuse for how everything went down the drain in the two final stages, though.

I could keep working on it more, but maybe that would break the spell. Dunno.

>>12108176
Bomb wisely.

>>12077142
I always go for green first until I have all bombs and then red afterwards. I usually end up with max lives at the end of stage 4. The bombs are for clearing shit in order to get reds more easily

>>12109997
Congrats.

>>12108446
That fact is taught in sex ed.
>>12109997
Nice

How do I use this?

>>12110891
Go against a wall and press X.

>>12110895
Thanks, turned out different than what I expected.

>>12106692
Forgot to say yesterday, but it seems that rebooting the computer did the trick for whatever reason.

Does anyone know where to download All-Star Medley?

>fapping to tsukumo legs while playing

Does anyone know how to get nickname 1 and 60? I know what 17 and 30 are but I'm too secondary to get them.

Call me a fag, but I finally beat SA on Normal. I always saw this as the hardest of any of the games.

>>12113870
1 is clear all scenes.
60 is twenty no-items or something.

>>12113993
You're right, SA Normal is the pinnacle of difficulty in Touhou. I feel kind of sad telling this to you, but the rest of the journey will be downhill for you. Enjoy the greatness while it lasts.

>>12113993

>>12114009
>SA Normal is the pinnacle of difficulty in Touhou
people unironically believe this.

>>12113993
Congratulations.

I recently started playing the PC-98 games on an emulator, but the screen keeps flashing like crazy during the last 2 boss fights or when there are lots of bullets on the screen. The sound quality also sucks. I've listened to some themes on youtube and they sound way better than when I hear them in the games. Is this normal or are there better emulators?

>>12114009
Thank you! I got 60 now.

>>12114019
I use T98-Next. Worked for me mostly.

>>12114055
Thanks alot dude.

>>12114019
Pick Music:FM(86) instead of Music:FM(26) in the games' options.

Lost 10m on stage 3.

>>12114518

>>12114518
Great! Congratulations!

>>12114518
Incredible, well done.

>>12114424
Not him but I had better sound quality with 26K than 86. Anex86.

>>12114737
Still is. I had another go just to be sure. Tried some scoring tacts and beat my previous, but not quite the 1-miss run I wanted. Did a bit better on Okuu at least.
http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=33298

>>12115806
SA normal is very likely the hardest first clear for most people, and going straight from clearing to a 4 (or 3 miss) is quite impressive. If you're serious about scoring this category, here are a few things I felt need to be improved:

Your bomb route, first and foremost. I don't know if you have a route per se, but it seemed like you just bombed when you felt like it could be beneficial, but oftentimes it left you with too little power for more important parts (You were a bomb short on stage 4 midboss Orin, you didn't use any on stage 5 midboss Orin). Next would be that your bombtiming (and positioning) for a lot of things was off. Again, Stage 4 midboss is a very obvious example for both. I don't know if you've looked at any replay, but the top 5 on royalflare all should have correct bombs on most (if not all) things. Time out stage 5 Orin. You want to have the faith starts after the midboss, not the lifepieces or the spellcardbonus. Learn BoWaP safespot and for god's sake, don't do the milk on Orin's second nonspell. It's one of the hardest things in the game and with your graze and faith, it wasn't worth more than 3 or 4 million even if you had pulled it off perfectly. It's not worth doing until you go for something over 1b. One important detail in stage 6 is the midboss. You killed it far too slowly. Try doing it higher up for a speedkill so you can get the crows afterwards. With your graze (and had you not died), each crow would have been worth around 2 million I think. And there're like 10 or some shit. It's a lot of points easily gained through an easy speedkill.

There were more things I would like to mention, but I don't want to clutter things up too much here; watching a high scoring replay will show you almost everything you've done wrong. Good luck. It's a really annoying category

>>12115806
Nice.

>>12116649
The guy said "Tried some scoring tacts", not "I wanted to use the best route." And your advice is mostly misplaced, he should just watch the WR for overall strategy and decide which things to include, and then focus on gettin a run without deaths after the initial suicide.

If some portion has chances of killing you, leave off a bomb from the previous section to have wiggle room. Stuff like that should be the focus, not a midboss speedkill or having strict bomb counts on certain nonspells. Besides, he never asked for a lengthy comment on the replay so maybe that was a bit uncalled for. You don't write a long comment on any other score posted into this thread, so why do it for this one.

A bunch of stuff in stages 3-5 is more difficult than the secod Orin nonspell milk.

The guy said "Tried some scoring tacts", not "I wanted to use the best route." And your advice is mostly misplaced, he should just watch the WR for overall strategy and decide which things to include, and then focus on getting a run without deaths after the initial suicide.

If some portion has chances of killing you, leave off a bomb from the previous section to have wiggle room. Stuff like that should be the focus, not a midboss speedkill or having strict bomb counts on certain nonspells. Besides, he never asked for a lengthy comment on the replay so maybe that was a bit uncalled for. You don't write a long comment on any other score posted into this thread, so why do it for this one?

A bunch of stuff in stages 3-5 is more difficult than the secod Orin nonspell milk.

>>12117030
He posted the replay so I assumed he wanted advice. Most people post a screenshot, but not the replay. Usually when someone opts to choose to post a replay, I'm inclined to believe they want someone to comment on the run in some way. I also believe that having the right amount of bombs on some parts is quite important, even if you've just started using scoring strats, which is why I addressed the bombroute in the first place. I wouldn't have mentioned if he had had the "right" amount of bombs on those parts, and those parts alone. Because I know it can be quite scary to go into a section without any bombs.

I disagree. Maybe Yuugi's first spellcard is harder, but other than then, I didn't feel like there was anything as difficult in the game as the milk on Orin's second nonspell.

>>12117060
>He posted the replay so I assumed he wanted advice.
If I wanted someone to comment on my replay, I'd ask for it, since people rarely give advice in these threads unless asked for, no matter whether a replay was posted or not. Maybe it's a custom where you come from, but not around these parts.

>I also believe that having the right amount of bombs on some parts is quite important
I'd rather lose the few hundred grazes or the 10M a stage 4 midboss bomb nets you than die.

>I didn't feel like there was anything as difficult in the game as the milk on Orin's second nonspell.
I suppose this is subjective. Still, you shouldn't tell people off from it just to make them abide by your own preferences. Maybe he finds it simple.

Sorry Sakurei but I agree with Seppo.

Also nice job Denpa.

Coolio!

Just clear th14.3 today, this game is really easy when using the right strategy

>>12117379
did you used items? with items it's indeed easy modo. also congrats.

>>12117379
Why doesn't he do fanservice endings anymore. Where's my maid Seija?

>>12117391
i'm pretty sure he never did that in the subgames

>>12117398
He hasn't done them since LLS.

>>12117372
Kill yourself.

>>12117385
tfw can't clear 14.3 even with items ;_;

Why am I so shit.

>>12117391
When you no-item every scene. Trust me.

>>12118016
This isn't cheatcodecentral.

>>12118016
This should be true. It probably isn't, but it should.

how do i use my sub item?

>>12119341
all of them except for the umbrella are passives.

And that makes for four scenes I have a score over 10M in.

Fifth one is definitely possible, and so is a sixth one to an extent, although it would be very difficult. I might improve a couple more scenes, but I think that's about it for me with this game.

Fuck Hong Meiling. Fuck everything about her.
How does anybody get past this shit?

>>12120083
Congrats on the wrs

>>12120269
They don't get hit.

Sometimes I wonder why I even bothered trying No-Item runs...

>>12121677

How much of a scrub am I for using more than 3 default lives?

>>12076212
averagejpuser.png

>>12121750
Try again, idiot. I'm way fatter than that.

Why can't ZUN make hitboxes match the bosses' sprite size? They're huge. I die a frame after the screenshot was taken, not moving, (and Benben is moving to the right).

>>12121812
I bet she was also moving down.

Bosses have circular hitboxes in the modern games, but they they were square in the earlier ones. Use the health bar as a reference instead of the boss sprite. This was pretty important for TD since the game was about skirt sniffing.

>>12120083
nice! what scene is it?

>>12121833
Yeah, but you have to be incredibly close to the boss to beat that spell card, unless I'm missing an obvious gap somewhere.

>>12118061
All ingame graphic files already extracted and uploaded to wiki. No fanservice ending this time ._.

A run that most certainly had its ups and down. The ups being a good stage 4. the downs being a bad stage 2, 5 and 6. I scrubbed stage 1 due to having restarted on it for the past hours prior to this run. Stage 3 had some mistakes, but was much better than in my PB, if only due to the fact that I didn't fail 2 spells in it. The run had 4b potential entering Reisen, but I died to her last non and failed her last spell. I cried. Bunnies in stage 6 were scrubby as well. I think I killed 4 or 5 familiars. Kaguya was super shaky. Focusing on all of her early attacks to not die. I did capture all of the attacks, so I suppose it was worth it. I died to her last nonspell as well - don't ask me how. Got hit on Hourai Jewel like a champ. First bullet and all. Also failed the 2nd last spell, because I didn't do my usual strat. On the upside of this run, my Kaguya isn't so broken anymore as before, so I don't feel as pressured to capture all her spells. On the other hand, stage 4 was so good (for me, anyway) that I'll have trouble replicating it. Next PB hopefully 4b. Maybe.

>>12121854
That one is 10-5, the other three are 10-2, 3-1 and 6-7.

The one that is the most probable to break 10M next is 5-3.

>>12122178
Good job.

>>12121677
Actually, this video show an easy way to beat that Suwako card no-items, as well as a few others :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJIL2NFY-kU
(Suwako is at 1:00)

>>12120269
Static pattern for the first one I'm pretty sure of, I just tap left and right in the middle to dodge and I beat it pretty much every time. Second one there you get a feel for how the bullets fly, and gid gud.

>>12122216
I figured it would be those scenes, since they give disgusting amounts of graze, but I didn't know you could do 10-5 with the statue, the best I've got is 10.2M with the yinyang.

I don't know about 5-3 though, you would have to be very lucky for Benben to not move up at all, it seems.

>>12122983
You can start the circling from above her.

Is there a touhoumon hack out yet with touhou 14 characters in them? I've been looking all day but I'm not coming up with much.

I would say I'm not sure how this happened but I watched the replay so I know how it happened.

Has anyone translated this yet?
I mean, no extra stage or new characters. Its a bit underwhelming.

2. I just click on the webm to open the link, thus playing the vidoe, and save as is (CTRL+S). Using Firefox. Most times I just Pause the videos. And you have to pick Web Page, complete, to ave the images and videos.
Preferably a script is better suited for this.

But I promised I won't do it since my ISP sucks. If someone else committed to do this, the better.

Look in the archives, and the current thread right now:
>>>/v/244374126

>>12133024
An epic thread you're having, there.

Can't you guide the new players who are blogging about their clears over here? We're suffering from a lack of active posters, when the two veterans who still play only post a score once in three threads.

Oh, and there's an IRC-channel for PoFV netplay, #pofvgrillz. Maybe you should start mentioning that place over there.

>>12133098
two veterans? who are those?

>>12133098
Try it yourself. They have a mind of their own.

They seem to have a tsundere relationship with /jp/, so they don't post here. But you are most welcome to try.

There are at least two people who post both here and in their threads.

Because they are a crossie.

I don't either, but I do not let myself get restricted from finding cool things where ever they may happen.

>>12133160
It's a method of speech, suggesting shyness or apprehension. Usually to show desire not to admit to something.

Thus spoiler text is used. So it's more like I spoiler'ed myself.

Just shy IRL.

Could someone watch my replay and tell me how I could do better?

http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=33347

>>12133207
Your stage route is a bit silly, but it seems to work for you. If you want a more safe route, you could watch a replay and observe how certain parts can be avoided just by streaming in a direction.
The midboss cards apart from the second one (which you captured) are static streaming. Practice them in the spell practice mode until you can capture them somewhat easily.
When the purple jellybeans are fired in the later stage portion, stay still at the bottom of the screen. Then start tapping once the streaming part begins. The last big fairy is static, but you can safespot it on Border team by hugging the bottom left corner of the screen if dodging feels uneasy.
Mokou's second spell is simple, the phoenixes are aimed. Figure out a misdirection path in spell practice and never fail it again.
Hang at the bottom for the fourth spell and slowly tap, just evading the red bullets. You're entirely safe from the blue ones at the very bottom when playing as Border team.
Misdirect the sixth spell by going above the boss when she starts firing the second burst.

Bomb more, you've got a lot of resources. Watch a replay if you hit a wall.

>>12133240
>>12133207

My next try after trying a bit of spell practice. Normally I don't do this bad on her second spell, I just can't get into that mindset, I suppose. Either-ways, this is the farthest I have gotten on Mokou.

just testing my ability to upload webm. This was indeed in the archives. Still related

>>12133332
>>12133984

Another try, this time I got to the final spellcard, but did not clear.

Personal notes: still relying on bombs for Kiene's 1st and 3rd cards, I need to spend some time practicing those.
Stage route could be less risky.
Mokou spell one: needs more practice/less risky strategy.
Spell 2: I need to make sure I start in the right position and I will be fine.
Spell 3: N/A
Spell 4: N/A
Spell 5: Need to practice much more, and perhaps watch the replay of the time I did it correctly again.
Spell 6: Need to pick/learn a strategy and stick with it.
Spell 7: Just need bullet cloud practice.
Spell 8: I need to learn a strategy.
Spell 9: Need to practice first and second part.
Spell 10: Need to play a lot in spell practice.

Note that this was my first time seeing spell 9 and 10.

Congrats, you've handed fuel to shitposters. I hope you are happy.

/mu/ here, I just beat my first touhou game!

Where do I start playing this game
thanks in advance

>>12135159
Keine's spellcards are memo.
Mokou's 1st is also memo in the sense that you can take a specific route every time and capture it (assuming full power). Spell practice.
Honest Man's Death (5th) should be a free capture if you know the gimmick. Stream in one direction until the laser passes, then make a bigger tap to open a route to restream the opposite way. Excessive movement in that replay.
Spell practice for 6th. A general route going up and around Mokou to decrease bullet count works. Note that there will always be some leftover danmaku to dodge every wave. Although sitting on top of the phoenix during this movement helps with damage, homing will kill it eventually.
Fujiyama Volcano (8th) can be streamed around Mokou, as there is a timing when she does not spawn the red orb danmaku. This is fairly effective as less experienced players tend to have a hard time streaming the aimed shots slowly in this spellcard. Again, spell practice.
The first phase of the survival (9th) is much more manageable when the familiars are stacked as much as possible. Mokou spawns them in about 4 separate bursts. Putting the first bunch at one corner, dashing to an adjacent corner as the next set spawns, and so on, will create slightly dense, but straightforward danmaku (as in coming from one direction as opposed to all sides), which is easier to dodge in my opinion. Stream steadily in a box/circle shape for the second phase.
Hourai Doll mostly is streaming.
>>12135694
Congratulations.

Get Touhou 6: Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil. There's no real reason to play any game before 6.

>>12135709
start with touhou 2 fumaroku and don't play another game until you kick his ass of this fucking evil eye sigma .After beating her every other ex boss will seem to be easy as fuck (i exagerate but evil eye sigma is one the hardest
ex boss many player have fought).
anyway if you just want to play touhou

>>12135709
every one should play at least once at the three first pc-98 touhou; these ones are really different from the rest of the games

Touhou 4 is pretty nice and kinda easy

I'm having a very hard time trying to 1cc Subterranean Animism. any advice? I am also having trouble with UFO. I need some useful or helpful advice from more experienced players that will motivate me. For UFO I've been getting only red. Anything else?

>>12137228
Bomb more.

>>12137228
Well, where are you having problems? Also, if you want raw advice, upload a replay.

>>12137269
for UFO i get to the boss of stage 6 and i end up with no live and bombs. i just need to play the stages some more to get used to the spells. for SA i get wrecked in stage 5. i actually have to go right now so i don't have time this moment to upload a reply. thanks for helping.

Decided to take a break from Extra Stage and actually do a 1CC with ghost team. I did great up until Marisa, but I managed to do "decent" on stage five and six.

http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=33379

I managed !

There is literally no reason to ever bomb it doesn't help you to get better at the game

>>12141692

>>12141692
As a noob, it helps me stay motivated. I can skip the hard parts or parts I don't get and get to what I enjoy. I try to not bomb, unless I'm about to die - basically waiting it out. I think it helps a lot.

Finally got it. Tenshi's cards on day 10 were pretty tricky even with cheats.
Also is there a replay of someone clearing 10-4 without items? It looks like you'd need a really steady hand.

>>12142761
I've made it halfway around before. It's some intense tapping. If it was only one revolution I would be optimistic. I don't know. Does using the hitbox sub still count as no-item?

(＠´＿｀＠)

What is the best 2hu game to start with?

>>12142932
EoSD and PCB

>>12142933
OK, downloading EoSD now. Anything I should know before playing?

Finally. This is probably not the hardest no item I've gotten but it was definitely the most satisfying. Take that, notprismrivers.

>>12142895
Yes. Camera, orb, and doll subs are all fine, just don't activate your main. I actually found a safe spot on 1-5 that the orb enables.

>>12142938
Its recommended to play PCB along with it as EoSD doesn't show you your hitbox when you are focusing (shift) but PCB does.

>>12142932
I would say PoFV, but that's very much a minority view.

>>12142938
Don't get discouraged if (when) you crash and burn on the first two levels, everyone is a beginner at some point.

>>12142939
Oh. Is it the standard to use them? So far I haven't been using any passive abilities. I need to get better either way if I'm going to beat these, so I'll hold off for now and see how far that gets me.

>>12142900
Ebin as HELL score.

http://www.livestream.com/touhougameplay

>>12142932
Photography games and/or Danmaku Amanojaku. Seriously.

Is 7-8 supposed to be a joke?

How do I stop being so caught off guard whenever I get hit? I managed to get to level 4 on normal in EoSD and then took a day off, but now I always either end up strafing backwards into an attack I just ignored for some reason or I don't strafe when I should have strafed and just get hit even though I was clearly looking and dodging the moment before.

There also isn't a way skip the stage in practice mode and go directly to the boss battle, is there? I managed to deduct the patterns of the bosses within 10 tries, but every boss seems to have one attack I just always have to use a bomb because I just can't figure out how to get around it or not get screwed over by it the majority of the time.

>>12143541
IN has spell card practice, but that doesn't help you with the non-spells.

As for getting caught off guard, I try and focus on the game while playing, and use full screen/minimize everything else If I am having a hard time doing so. If I still have problems, I typically take a break, get some food, etc.

>>12143809
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11812361/touhou%20hacks/th08_nonspell_practice.dat

>>12143541
Easiest way to stop getting caught off guard is to play higher difficulties. If you're working on Lunatic already, bump it up to 90 fps or something. Then, when you go back to whatever you're actually working on, everything will seem slow and you will have an easier time noticing everything important.

Also, it's very natural to get stuck on certain attacks. There are certain patterns in every game that are notoriously difficult even for the most accomplished players, so feel free to use your resources liberally. You're given a lot.

>>12143809
Well, that's what I do too, but I guess I still need much more practice and there won't be a way around that.

>>12143895
No, that's not it. I'm having problems with the normal difficulty. I just tried out Lunatic for the first time and I have to admit, I doubt anyone but a Lunatic could clear that.
At least I'm having fun, I guess it'll take quite some time to make progress, especially on harder difficulties.

Hey guys EOSD just hangs on startup for me on Win7 x64. Anyone know how to fix?

>>12144003
set to compatibility mode.

>>12144021
That was the first thing I tried, it still just hanged at start up.

>>12144023
Have you tried any of the other games? Also, you do have updated video drivers, right? They probably wouldn't interfere with EoSD, but better safe than sorry.

>>12144026
Everything else seems to work fine, and yes video drivers are up to date.

>>12144032
Then I don't know what your problem is. Maybe try applocale?

>>12144034
Already have. Maybe I will just give up and go do something else.

>>12144043
Try redownloading it from somewhere else, PoFV did the same from where I first got it, but a different download worked fine.
>>12143883
That's actually quite useful. There was also one of these edits for practising the books in th6. Does anyone know if there's a list of .dat edits somewhere ?

>Graze 12

>>12144402
I'll revisit past games after I get a 1CC in all of them, and as I slowly work towards Lunatic 1CC's.

I probably found a bug in TH14.3. If you finish a spellcard and then turn off the game on the screen where it says if you want to save the replay or not, your progress is lost.

>>12143967
Ah, sorry I didn't mean to say that you should just jump into higher difficulties, i meant that if you practice on Hard or something for a while and just get beat up for a bit, when you go back to Normal you won't be caught off guard so much because your eyes will naturally follow more of the bullets

>>12144622
ah, I was wondering why I kept having to start from the beginning every time I played. Good catch.

What fack...

>>12143895
If you're trying to get better in general, I would mix PoFV in with whatever you're playing with now, because of the high variance. If it's a specific pattern you just have to keep working at it, or maybe find a similar one in a photography/spell practice game.

>>12144778
Reminds me of the good old STB spellcards.

What does the ghost lantern in the sub slot do?

>>12145001
It allows you to death-item.

>>12144622
Here's a bug I've known about since Double Spoiler which ruined my score.dat.

If you enter the save replay screen after clearing the last stage of a day, the next stage button ungrays and becomes selectable and hittable.

Which takes you to the first scene of the next day. However, in DS, it becomes classified wrongly as an entirely new scene of the previous day like 3-1 would be 2-7 and give an entirely new scene's score separate from the actual 3-1.

If you do this on the last scene of the last day, it simply crashes the game.

>>12144334

Congratulations. I just beat Mokou for the first time a few days ago, myself. I've moved on to SA to try Koishi and found that I've been spoiled by IN's spell practice. It feels like such a chore to do a whole stage to practice spells now.

>>12144778
>>12144863

Well crap, I just got past that murderous 10-4 and have my clear. This was probably the hardest scene.
It was a decent game.

I have now realized that the way to practice isn't to do the same stage over and over again, its to do that stage on a higher difficulty. I've never 1CC'd Normal, but I started on Easy EoSD. Then I started playing Normal, and now Hard. I played Easy again today because I was showing my little sister and it actually feels lonely, there's all that space. I can complete it without dying once now.

Anyway, does anyone have any tips for beating Cirno on Lunatic? I beat Rumia with only one life lost, but Cirno kicked my ass big time, especially the first attack she does, and the attack where she fires lasers and blue bullets, there seems to be no way to avoid them.

>>12146744
redirect those. For the first attack stay at her side. The second one you can either redirect to her other side or stay at the bottom and tap slightly.
The other attack you redirect as well. Just keep in mind that the bullets after the laser are very fast.

Why is touhou such a generic shootemup weebshit trash?

Aslo, how do I stop being complete garbage at these games?

>>12146840

Cirno's opening attack has a safespot, watch any replay of a scorerun, they'll probably use it.
For her second non, just slowly stream the bullets, then when she fires the first pair of lasers, she'll move, so go underneath where she moved to and then go back to slowly streaming.

Can you get a Fountain Faerir Quest from the Faerie Quest Fortune Cookies?
