I fucking SUCK. I still haven't beat any of the games (except for HRtP) in anything above Easy.

>>16807245
I'm the same, yet I can't stop playing. It's awful and I'm awful.

I die at the first bullet, always.

One time I got to the last part of PCB on normal but I ran out of continues and died to the tree.

I have occasionally made it to stage six bosses without a continue but Remi, Yuyuko, and Eirin all absolutely push my shit in and after a month or two of trying I gave up.

This was about five years ago now.

Dude, i really suck at Danmaku.
Like, i've only beat EoSD, PCB and IN in the normal mode with continues.
And well, recently i've played TH15 and i can't beat Clownpiece on normal mode, and on easy i always loss like one or two continues. :(

>>16807241

Me. I never got past patchy in EoSD on normal.

I know all the touhou lore and read all the reading material but i never even cleared a game, it's too hard for me, having ADHD and poor hand eye coordination to add insult to injury.

>>16807241
I'm so bad, I haven't even played any games in fear of failing!


That was a joke. Please don't kick me out.

>>16808364
I've become paralyzed with that after hitting the wall hard.

I don't think I've ever seen past stage 3.

I'm the worst of you lot. I don't even know what "2hu" is.

Well, I only managed to beat PCB, IN and SA on Easy without continues (also EOSD but that doesn't count as it won't let you go to stage 6 on Easy)

I've managed to finish EOSD in Normal but using atleast one continue. I'm currently trying to beat it without using them, at the same time I'm trying to finish UFO on easy without using any continues.

Been only playing the series since 1 month (starded from EOSD and skipped the fighting games for now) and never played Danmaku games in my life but I really enjoy it because it's so rewarding when you manage to win after trying a lot.

>>16808551
By the way I forgot to add, if by any chance someone who is actually good at the game is looking at this thread, how much months/years it took for you to get atleast decent at it? or finishing all the games in atleast Normal without continues?

>>16808581
getting good at anything is not a matter of how many months pass, it's all about the hours you spend doing that thing

>>16808581
This
>>16808659
I started playing in Fall of 2014 and it took me 2 months to 1cc all the integer games from 6 to 14 on Normal. But I absolutely fell in love with the games (I feel like I'm a rare case insofar as I was entirely introduced to the characters, music, etc through the games alone) and was playing for multiple hours nearly every day. So it's hard to know whether that's slow or fast, and obviously it's the actual hours spent playing that count.

>>16808659
>>16808679
Oh my bad, I forgot about the hours, I know some people that play other games for like 4 years and they are still bad at them just because they don't have as many hours in total while another guy that has only been playing that game for 2 is better because he invested much more time on it.

To be honest I haven't got much hours of gameplay on it yet, but I'm planning to do so, also must say that I've knew about Touhou for like 7 years and never tried them till now and goddamn I was missing out, I guess there is still time even if I came late to the party.

>>16808581
~Hard player here. When I wanted to 1cc the games, it took me a couple serious evening sessions to get a normal clear. Playing a nice session each evening should be enough for a 1cc in a week.
If not, then you might need help.
It also depends on the game a bit, some are easier to memorize, some are plainly about dodging.

>>16807241
Personally I can't tell if I shit, or pretty decent.
I can beat Lunatic on EoSD, PCB, and Hard on IN with continues, but I still have to use them even on Normal.
It's always the Stage 5 boss that kick me in, but Stage 6, at worse, loss 3 lives.
I'm being trying MoF and some of the other games, but it hard to get use to the new system. I thinking about really practicing after exams are over.

I'm really bad but only played Cave games. I can't even count how many bullets show up. How many are there in Touhou games?

I can't even get back to playing. I just have to be perfect until like stage 4... dying before that just results in restart. I just can't play anymore. Too depressing to even fucking try anymore

>>16808753
did a run a day for a week with SA. Just ended up trashed and walled against Satori/Reimu A.

Practice only said I'd need 6 lives to beat her... It never got any better.

>>16807241
I did get a 1CC once, but it took me ages and then I lost the data because my laptop sacrificed itself to satan.

>>16808659
Spending a lot of time doesn't guarantee that you will be good at that thing. Things like how efficient the practice is and the person's natural predisposition to perform well at the games affects how long it takes to improve. Yes, I'm going to be that guy and bring "talent" up. Anyway, I don't really want to get into an argument about this, but felt it had to be said. Which is somewhat hypocritical.

I think it's best to not be caught up in how good or bad others are and just focus on improving yourself. Seeing other people better than me when I feel like I've put in more work is depressing. Way to be a sore loser, haha. Ego is bad.

>>16808810
Haven't played much Cave, but it doesn't take a genius to see that Cave has more bullets, especially during stage portions. Touhou has more resources so survival is comparatively easy if you don't limit yourself with restrictions like no bomb. But I think that scoring is where Touhou really shines.

I've been stuck on Subterranean Animism for like three years now.

>>16808888
Everything else is bearable but that fucking cat. I could make it through Utsuho if that horrible cat didn't exist.

>>16807241
I completed LoLK on Pointdevice. I died 60 times to Fake Apollo and another 50 to Trembling, Shivering Star. Another 40 to Pure Danmaku Hell.

I can't get Past EoSD Stage 3 Normal without dying. I barely 1cc'd PCB and IN on Easy.

I usually forget to check but I went past 400 or 500 tries on most spells. I have a lot of unused bombs across all characters, even filled them on Marisa.

I have this

I can't for the life of me capture Icicle Fall on normal. I've 1CC'd normal a couple times and can capture most spells consistently except this one. Even the hard version of this spell card feels easier than the normal version. It tilts me so hard.

I never beat a touhou game and never will.

>>16808581
Took one month to clear MoF.
Then stopped playing any game for a year, then came back and 1cc'ed all the games in two months, including two fighting games.
Right now I just cleared 3 extra stages in two weeks after those two months.

I'm terrible at shumps, I don't even know how to be good at them.
Maybe playing with an arcade stick would help.

I don't think I'm the worst but I haven't ever even reached a final stage in any mainline game that wasn't a Phantasmagoria.

>Let's see who's the worst player at 2hu games.

I've put some English subs in this just for you guys:

>>16808253
In my honest opinion, having ADHD makes playing these games easier. The same applies to most other action games.

>>16809255
I don't think that having ADHD would necessarily make it easier, perhaps more just that ADHD is the kind of disability which agrees with and is actually entertained(and thus much more easily immersed)by these kinds of games with a high amount of visual and processing input. As opposed to a normal person, who would have to truly enjoy the game for what it is in order to become immersed. ADHD people are able to bypass this and enjoy the games due to their nature.

>>16807241
I've never 1CC'd a game on Normal.
Then again, I don't practice much.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDgaMDNcECc

>>16808969
I haven't played StB yet,that shit is actually fun?

>>16809984
It's very fun if you ask me. It also gets pretty hard, but you can just play as far as you think you can viably go. There's not too much pressure beyond the potential wall of bullets thrown at you, since it's like LoLK in that you can keep trying as much as you need until you win. It takes a little bit to get used to the new controls, though, since depending on what you're doing you can be going anywhere from normal Tengu level retardedly fast to slow as a fucking snail in terms of movement speed, which was the cause of many deaths for me until I got used to it. If you give it a try and like it, don't forget about Double Spoiler. It's basically a newer version of the same thing with Hatate.

>>16808972
I also felt the spell was uncharacteristically tricky for Normal until I realized that the ice crystal waves are sorta aimed at your position. So my personal strategy for capturing is staying pretty close to Cirno while dodging the yellow spreads she shoots (at least slightly above the middle of the screen), and that results in the blue waves having big openings you can sneak through at the sides. Still need to watch yourself so you don't run into the yellow bullets while traveling through the gap, but it's much, much easier than just staying at the bottom of the screen.

As for how bad I suck, I still haven't 1cc'd the game thanks to Sakuya being a bitch and eating through my lives. I'm getting closer, though.

Haha! Losers!

>>16807241
Just played one time so I can say that I played it.

>>16810228
Post your highscores,anon.

I have been playing every day for 2 hours and that for 4 months and I still can't beat the game on easy with all continues used.

I died to Cirno in EoSD on Easy

>>16808581
Got my first normal 1cc in two months without any prior experience in danmaku. Also, playing on the PC felt akward and clumsy as hell (still does, but not as much as back then) since I didn't play using a keyboard when growing up. My highest 1cc is lunatic and I've cleared 1 extra stage without dying.

>>16808888
>>16808896
I can feel your pain, that stage and boss might be the only ones I really dislike playing, took me a lot to finally get the hand of it, while on Utsuho for some reason it wasn't that hard plus her theme is fucking amazing and motivated me to keep trying

>>16809122
ah!
Still has nothing on this guy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDgaMDNcECc

I know the canon because of internet, I can't even pass IN easy mode.

>>16808201
>can't beat Clownpiece on normal mode, and on easy i always loss like one or two continues
dude use Point Device mode

>>16808581
All I remember (I got into Touhou shortly before UFO released) was dying horribly in Stage 2 of EoSD.
Somehow I'm pretty sure I was really good after a short while, because I was able to beat Nue on my first try in my "noob days" but now I can't even get past Kogasa. I had about a one or two year-long period where I didn't play the games at all and when I came back I could only inconsitently 1cc Normal mode.

>>16810081
I'm a different guy but shit I can't wait to try this out next time I do EoSD. I recently adopted a strategy of sticking low on the screen and just going far to either the left or right so I'm basically only dodging through one wave at a time.

>>16809122
Aw, he says he's only been playing for 4-5 days, I'm sure he'll get good soon.

>>16807241
Played LoLK on easy point device.
Used Sanae and made it to Junko in about 6 hours. Made it to her final spell card.
Had to do a new game with Reisin due to running out of bombs with Sanae.

If anyone is worse than me, they deserve an award.

>>16815255
I also played the game just to see Junko and hear her theme...

>>16815242
Clearly posted by someone with no arms.

I just can't beat this dork on normal... what am i doing wrong?

>>16815481
Not spending your bombs on her toughest spells. That's the only way I managed to reach Yuyuko, but then I had not many bombs to go against her.

>>16815185
This guy actually managed to beat LoLK on normal pointdevice mode. It's pointdevice, yeah, but you still can't beat it with only patience and pressing random keys.
And regarding this video, well, I don't think you should expect any better from someone who wasn't even aware of the focused movement at the time. It's just the fact that not everyone's first attempt at Touhou is available on YouTube for laughing at.

>>16815481
I had a lot of problems with Youmu when I first played PCB. Someone told me to focus more on dodging the bullets than positioning yourself to maximize your damage output, and that helped out a lot. Also, when she does the time slowdown thing position yourself on a place where you have more time to react to the bullets

I've tried to play 2hu drunk as ZEN does,it was an epic 1CC.

i've been playing since 2010 and i still can't 1cc hrtp, sa, ufo, or lolk on normal, and i can barely manage soew, eosd, pcb, mof, and ddc

>>16807241
I've only beaten one 2hu game.
It was Perfect Cherry Blossom, on medium.
And I used all of my continues.

>>16817879
>beaten
>continues

>>16817710

I did a no-focus clear on stb 9-6

I can't 1CC any touhou game on normal.
I can't beat stage 5 on SA on normal.

>>16818557
SA's Stage 5 is bullshit anyway so you don't have to feel bad.

>>16807241
I can easily 1cc most games on Easy and can do a few on Normal but have a hard time concentrating on my hitbox and constantly run into bullets I saw coming a mile away.

The main issue is that if I play longer than 30 minutes I start to get horrible eye strain and migraines. I get better every time I play, but when it nearly forces me into bedrest it's just not worth it.

i'm so bad I couldn't even figure out how to start the game

>>16818726

The closest I've come to playing a bullet hell was TBoI. The Hush has bullet hell segments.

>>16807241
I can 1cc normal touhou 10, 8, 7, 13. I am very close to 1cc touhou 12, but MOTHERFUCKING BYAKUREN is a fucking bitch.

>>16818694
>I play longer than 30 minutes I start to get horrible eye strain and migraines

Get your health checked.

>>16820609
I already am anon, it's just a bad combination of a lot of dense moving lights in a small area + intense focus needed + preexisting issues with migraines. It's not a huge deal normally but bullet hell games trigger it extremely quickly.

>>16807241
I beat all the EX bosses but no story on lunatic

>>16807241
Given an infinity of continues, I can beat any game in lunatic.

>>16822590
Given no continues, I can beat DDC with Reimu.
