>Am I hopeless?
Yes.

What parts in particular? If you keep practicing you will improve.

Remember watching replays is fine too.

>>15712298
Watch replays both your own and other player's. Practice the stage in practice mode. Learn when to focus and unfocus. Remember to stay as calm as you can. These types of games require your full attention if you're upset or tired do something else to cool off or sleep. There's hope for you.

Hold Shift for focused movement.

Use easy, continues, and extra lives, beat the game that way, and only then switch to normal.

>>15712298
Depends.

If you're on Easy, yes.

If you're on Normal or above and you have just started playing the Touhous (read: first two months playing), no.

Gimme 10 minutes to remember her stage and I'll pull some tips up from my ass.

Alright, here goes:

I'll assume you are on Normal, but I'll throw some Hard parts too.

We'll need this for later.

Rules of thumb:
-BE READY TO DEATHBOMB - IF YOU DIE, YOU LOSE ALL YOUR BOMBS PLUS A LIFE
-Practice tactical bombing: - bomb only at certain parts before you have to do any actual dodging, learn
-Avoid thin lines of bullets coming towards you with SMALL side movements (streaming)
-Diagonal bullets: if they're concentrated, they're gonna disperse; if they're away from each other, they're gonna concentrate. It's counterintuitive, but stay in the space just below the concentrated bullets, so they fly past you
---During later stages and bosses, a lot of spellcards have two different patterns going on at the same time: decide which one to actively focus on. You want to focus on the most random one (or the one with the smallest bullets), while letting the fixed, obvious ones fly past you without much attention from your part.
--If there's too much shit going on during a stage, pick a side (left or right), stay there with minimal movement and try to kill enemies before they start shooting
---You don't have to be below the boss at all times when you're dodging, just remember to be below her between patterns

Also hold shift for focused movement, shoot it until it dies, GIT GUD, etc.

Mid-boss card (08/09) is pretty tricky on Hard, you can bomb it if you're not good at it

On 1st Boss card (10), the most dangerous bullets are the teal ones that seem out of sync with the rest
(the one that comes after that on Hard (11) is one you might want to spend another bomb on, though it creates large openings that move around)
The penultimate card (12/13) is an example of two patterns going on at the same time. You want to focus on the bullets that go diagonally and not spend time on those that go straight down, consider those ones dodged as soon as you stay in an area they won't cross
The last one (14) is tricky-dicky, but I've found I fare pretty well if I'm sort of doing sideways 8s to dodge everything. Again, be ready to bomb preemptively, it usually doesn't last long enough.

Good luck on Patchouli, she's gonna fuck your mouth and piss in it.
