Enjoy yourselves.

Requesting a thread at this time on a weekend.

I hate the knives part.

>>2937612
If /jp/ doesn't die, sure.

This is the most annoying spellcard.

>>2937699
It sure is. Normally I just stay on the left bottom corner and eat all the bullets. After taking the first shoot I move to a very far corner and start charging the camera.

What makes it really anoying is after taking the second photo, since Suika shoots a final wave of big bullet when she starts moving. This wave cuts my survival rate by 50%, making it a luck spell card.

>>2937450
>>2937450
suika is in shoot the bullet o_O?

Did crappy, but I'm very happy that I've finally finished making all my StB replays. Also long time since I've last seen a danmaku thread.

>>2937798
Congratulations. I have been playing Shoot the Bullet for a while too. I'm stuck in quite a few spell cards, but I'll get them done sooner or later.

Here is the last thread. Didn't see you around.

Tried to go on a no bomb rampage. Not doing it again.

More random bullshit deaths on easy parts. Also the .dat file on this computer is someone else's and I'm too lazy to transfer it from my computer to this one, so the only stage 6 I had available was Reimu A unfortunately....

Ugh ... failed last spell card in the last second.

>>2937990
Yeah, but watching it is not the same as explaining details. I see a lot of replays of Phantasm Stage, but I still don't get how to make that safespot on 'Boundary of Life and Death'.

>>2938048
We can leave it open.

one planned bomb on the stage, one deathbomb on Legend of Gensokyo.

http://img199.imageshack.us/i/shit6.png/

I think this is the worst I've ever done on this stage.

>>2938100
After watching others talk about it including someone who has compared far too many Phantasm runs I'd have to say that there is no consistent method to bring out the safespot and still be within firing range of Yukari. You're at the mercy of the first few waves of bullets positioning correctly.

OP here.

Normal mode winner: >>2938148.
Hard mode winner: >>2938121.

Next challenge is Subterranean Animism, Stage 5. Normal mode only.

Graze based round. The players with the SMALLEST amount of graze at the end of the stage is the winner.

Rules for standard game.
1. You only have one try (that means no second chances and no restarts).
2. No replays (the run must be played by you and at the moment).

You have until 21:00.

Since you do No-Sakuya PCB stages sometimes, how about No-Youmu for IN?

>>2938216
>The players with the SMALLEST amount of graze at the end of the stage is the winner.
I've always wanted to try this. I think for a shooting game this is actually a more reasonable scoring system than grazing, since it encourages killing things as fast as possible. SA doesn't run correctly for me for some reason, but I'll give it a try (if I can find a .dat)

It is hard to not graze on Subterranean Animism ...

>>2938214
Sound luck based, but still there must be a few steps to follow to get it done.

>>2938223
Good suggestion. Youmu always wins.

>>2938232
Which is exactly what I didn't do.Bad idea to have 2.00 power on 'Needle Mountain of a Former Hell'.

http://img43.imageshack.us/i/lowgrazeshit.png/

Was probably better off using anyone but Reimu A.

I'm not sure but i think this was horrible.

that was fun

>>2938307
Damn that's good. I think what screwed me (>>2938309) was the section where they come in lines from the top of the screen and shoot tons of little bursts (kinda like that one section in MOF)

Winner: >>2938586.
That's really nice. Will need some advice on this too. My current hi-score is 142M.

Taking a brake for now. If someone want to continue hosting this thread, you're more than welcome.

Anyone want to play?

Guess not. You little girlymen.

Huh, the StB round never closed.

>>2938883
I thought my reply went through a long time ago. Oh well. To get it out of the way, consult the Touhou Wiki then leave the rest to trial and error to map out a scoring route, or watch other runs. Given the relatively small number of point items present in stage one it would be more beneficial to try and produce a chain of flashing UFOs (unless presented with a cluster of point items, likely) to raise the base item value. Also, staying near a small flashing UFO will prevent it from changing. Here's the rather old run with the personal high score. It would be nice to touch up on it and push the score to 250M+ but the full version of the game isn't so far away now.

Sure, it will stay open until the end of the thread.

First game is Perfect Cherry Blossom, Stage 3. All difficult modes.

OP here.

>>2942083
I'm bad at guessing names.

Perfect Cherry Blossom round open until the end of this one.

Next challenge is Shoot the Bullet, Level 8 Scene 3.

Score based round.

Crow Tengu.

Rules for Shoot the Bullet.
1. You can try all times you want, but the first game that you complete is the one that counts.
2. No replays (the run must be played by you and at the moment).

You have until 15:15.

or

Shoot the Bullet, Level 3 Scene 3. You can do both.

The game would be Kamui, another Doujin shooter.
Although this one isn't very dodging focused but still very fun.

Your craft has 3 weapons. For one a normal shot, somewhat like ReimuB unfocused in PCB. Second, a giant Lightning beam that cancels bullets and does tons of damage. It recharges from empty to full in about 6? seconds, so you can use it frequently. Third, and most important of all, the Thunder. Thunder will not hit any enemies on your level, but instead targets enemies in the background, below you. It uses the same charge bar as the Lightning beam, however in a different way.

Tunder will consume the entire bar at once, hitting more targets the fuller the bar is when activating it and giving you a multiplier based on this. A full bar thunder will kill enemies at a 16X multiplier, and this includes bosses and their individually destructible parts.
Note that you can use the Lightning beam when the bar is empty, as the beam pushes it back from the right, while thunder regenerates from the left(but can be pushed down by the beam part).
Anyway, here's the link:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5eovn7gc

>>2942153
Other things to note for good scoring:

When you stop shooting and press the lightning button, your Thunder will regenerate faster.
Some enemies fall down a level when shot down, giving you a chance to use Thunder on them for the multiplier. In stage 1 this would be the big blue ships.
Always destroy bosses with a 16X multiplier! they will change levels a few times during the fight, use these chances.
You have a shield, so you can take 4 or 5 hits before you die, but no bombs. When in doubt, use your beam to clear bullets.
Use this picture, as the entire game is in moon.

Most of your scoring in Dodonpachi comes from 2 mechanics: Chaining and Max bomb bonus. How much of your score comes from which can vary a LOT depending on how you play.

Chaining mechanics are mostly pretty obvious: Kill things within about a second of each other. The bar in the top corner shows the timing of the chain. If you laser something, it maintains your chain, but very low on the timer bar. On top of this if you kill something big with a laser, it usually doesn't give you much on your bar, so you have to be ready to hit something within a split second of killing a big enemy with a laser. In practice this usually requires something to be directly behind, but if it's close enough laterally that works too.

Max bomb bonus is activated when you pick up a bomb item at full bombs. The more bombs you pick up the more points you get. It's a constant stream of points, it can actually get up to a rate of about 100k pts every couple seconds in the later parts of the fist loop if you dont bomb/die.

>>2942153
>>2942175
This sounds great! Never heard of it before, there are lots of awesome games out there that seriously need to be rediscovered.

As for the lesser known mechanics:

In stage 3 (in both loops) there is a section where enemies warp in and spam bullets (seen in >>2939010). The 5 big ships in this section provide a couple seconds of bullet-cancel when you destroy the main body (this is fairly obvious the first time you go through this part). However, something I didn't even realize until very recently is that you get a LOT of points for the bullet cancelling. More bullets cancelled gives more points, and you also get points for bullets that are fired by the ships during the cancel. On the first loop if you do it correctly it's worth a couple million points if you take some major risks. On the second loop however it's even bigger, you can get 15 million or more if you really do it aggressively. I'm not sure if it's because the increased bullet count or if each bullet is actually worth more, but I'm fairly sure it's both.

Player selection has a hidden mechanic also. If you play on the 1p side, if you bomb during max bomb bonus, it DOES NOT break your chain like a normal bomb would. Obviously it still breaks max bomb bonus. If you play on the 2p side, the end of stage bonus from the little stars that you collect during the stage accumulate instead of reset each level, so long as you don't die. This is a pretty small bonus but it can add up to a moderate amount if you no-miss pretty far into the game. 1p is basically better unless you could confidently no-bomb the entire game, which nobody can. Regardless, I play 2p side just cause I like the orange/black color of type C, lol. Neither bonus is really that important though, since 90% of the time if you have to bomb a section you probably aren't worrying about chaining anyway.

If you kill parts off of a boss, your boss hit goes up faster for a bigger end of stage bonus, and you also get points for destroying the parts.

There's probably some stuff I'm forgetting but whatever.

>>2942214
Bees.
You collect them all without dieing, the last one is worth 100000. If you collected them all the bees are worth up to 200000 in the next stage, and so on, up to 1,2 million. It's not really that much considering the effort.
Other than that, if you destroy the first bosses 2 options while they rotate they drop 10 big stars.
Those medium sizes ships that fire 2 streams of X shaped bullets drop a big star if you destroy them when they are at the bottom of the screen.
Every bullet cancelled it worth points too (Stage 3 with the big ships that cancel bullets when destroyed!)

But if you ignore all that and just go for chains and maxbomb bonus you will do good.

This is still here?
I thought it would've fallen off the board by now.

>>2942248
Yeah. I didn't mention some of the more specific things like the 1st boss spinning cause it's such a small amount. Also for those who don't know, bees are revealed by hitting them with the FRONT if your laser. So if you are lasering and move over them , they stay hidden, but if you get uner them and then laser, they're revealed.

I did mention the bullet cancelling though.

And about the max vs chaining, you will indeed have a nice score if you no-miss-no-bomb the first loop without chaining. Likewise you can get an even better score if you chained the whole levels then bombed bosses, getting rid of the bonus. So it really just depends on how you play, the ratio can be anywhere.

>>2942290
Actually bees are revealed when you use your shot. they will flicker but stay gray. Shoot them with the laser when they flicker and they will turn gold, works from range as well.
Thanks for writing it up.

horrible card, but now 65/66

By "revealed" I meant uncovered/able to be picked up. Just seeing them doesn't do much good, eh?

>>2942342
yes, I meant you can make them golden from a range if you use the shot first, then the laser.

This explains a lots of behaviors of DDP plays I have seen. Thank you a lot.

OP here.

PCB round winner: >>2941986.
Level 8 Scene 3 winner: >>2942365.
Level 3 Scene 3 winner: >>2942345.

Next challenge is Kamui. Play as far as 1 continue can get you.

Score based round.

Rules for standard game.
1. You only have one try (that means no second chances and no restarts).
2. No replays (the run must be played by you and at the moment).

For the new players, you have can play to get used to the controls, gimmicks etc.

Time limit will be determined by the number of entries.

>>2942354
You don't actually need to use the shot at all, but since hitting laser fires a barrage of shots, it usually gets hit by shot anyway.

Anyway, aiming to beat my old high score right now so I haven't posted a score yet. ><;

And I'll put up the explanations for it again after finishing a few other things.

What is Batrider's Airport stage boss doing here?

>>2942473
Awesome! Really appreciated.

Well, that was fun. I still don't understand at all somethings, but it seems quite simple.

>>2942531
Try to kill as much with fully charged thunder as possible, the 16X multiplier is your main scoring tool.
Bosses give around 50000-90000 X16, so never kill them too early
They will have fires starting at their body when their health gets lot, when you see 4 flames stop firing and wait for your chance.
The screen at the end lists your score per stage. I died at the 4th boss here.

>>2942557
when their health get low I mean

>>2942431
/rs/ for Kamui? Looks fun.

>>2942561
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5eovn7gc

>>2942570
Thanks, bro

>>2942557
Just got 1.5M on first stage. That lighting that shoots enemies on different altittudes, Do you just get the X16 for the enemies you destroy after the first Lock? You have to wait for it to fill again and repeat, right?

Also, at the bosses. That bonus is just when you kill them? I mean the last shoot to kill them must be the lighting?

>>2942628
Yes the last shot should be done with 16X thunder. But you can also destroy some individual parts for more score.
You only get 16X when your thunder bar is full, after that you have to recharge.

Playing Kamui just makes me want to play RefleX.

In Kamui, my game alt-tabs to desktop at the beginning of every level and boss fight. Is there any way to fix this annoying problem?

So much for that idea. The screenshots are only there to show the general location of each explanation, and even then it doesn’t contain everything to be mentioned. Just in case it needs to be reminded, your faith will not decrease as rapidly when enemies are present on the screen. Bombs incur a 3K faith penalty, but a deathbomb costs nothing. The intent of this crude guide is to try and create a semi-safe route that will bring about a half-decent score.

1. Slowly collect the items to maintain your nonexistent faith.

2. The fairies will always spawn and travel the same way, have fun creating your own path. Or simply, stream from the left or right end. Not too slow, not too fast and by the time you reach the middle the first large fairy should pop out. All the while items will be dropping down for you to preserve your faith as you take care of the fairy.

3. A good place as any to bomb for faith. Don’t forget to let the screen fill up a bit. This will also make it easier to get into position for #4.

4. More streaming. Fairies that fire a round before moving into your position. When all is done the next large fairy will soon come out and you’ll have items to fill up the gauge, but that alone isn’t enough to keep it from dropping when waiting for more goodies from the larger fairy. You’ll have to lead the smaller fairies up higher before shooting them down but you can watch a world-class run to see it in action. With the pause between this and the next section be sure not to grab the items dropped by the larger fairy all at once. They won’t vacuum in if you don’t focus.

5. As the replay shows, redirect the fairies to follow you up there then stream down. Don’t get caught up there when the others start appearing in masses.

Still trying to break 100m in dodonpachi, I think I'm coming up on my 100th credit of the day. Hope you guys are having better luck in your respective game than I am. Gonna nerdrage my monitor in half if I get another bullshit death on the stage 4 boss.

Graze based round. The players with the BIGGEST amount of graze at the end of the stage is the winner.

ReimuA only.

You can post all the entries you want to try to improve your final score (graze).

Rules for standard game.
1. No replays (the run must be played by you and at the moment).

Time limit will be determined by the number of entries.

Ah, missed the safespot.

6. Bomb it. More bonus enemies, more bullets, more faith. After making the run I should note that it would be better to bomb earlier than what the replay shows. It’ll catch any fairies about to leave the screen as well as catch the whole of Momizi’s first wave of attack. It would also be better to hold off on shooting as necessary during the second bomb so that more bullets may appear on the screen before defeating her.

7. Fuck, bomb it all but don’t be wasteful. Don’t forget to hog the POC and try to make it a deathbomb.

8. With the oncoming crows hang out at the left side then make a sweep. I don’t know why I didn’t do it. Same plan here as #4, only longer. I’m curious if it would be better to do it from the left. Some of the fairies that pop out on the right are very close to the edge and I may have missed out on the items had I not been streaming down, but they may be spawning just as close to the edge on the left side.

9. Just like #2, create your own path or start from where you left off at #8 and slowly stream to the left. By the time you make it to the end the large fairy should spawn. I’m not sure how many faith items you’ll miss out on by doing that.

10. Ideally, you want to be in the middle to greet the third large fairy after dealing with the first one and hitting the POC. Shortly after that you would bomb and finish the fairy to the right then return to the middle one and be done with it. That wasn’t the case this run and the last fairy was able to make a mess of the screen.

>>2943320
No contest. ;_;

This should help. If you can't line up with the black line by her shoes try to miss it by being below. More leeway down there than to try and chance her sprite hitbox. Bomb about half a second after she announces the spell to retain the bonus.

>>2943347

11. Unless you’re Marisa C or maybe Reimu A (which type were you playing, anyway?) you’ll be hard-pressed to reach the POC here. Without taking that much of a risk you should be able to grab all the items with only two bombs. But yes, do keep an eye out for an opportunity to reach the POC without taking a hit in power, just like the one I passed up when I spent the second bomb. Fell short of 4.00 power because of a faulty micromemorized route for #9 but you could cut down on bombing for #6 or 7 to pull through. I probably missed out on power items during the bonus waves, too.

>>2943368
I'm new to this. So when you have grazing competitions, you need to exploit your deaths to maximize graze points?

>>2943368
Lastly, good luck with Aya and whatever power you end up with. In fact, it would be worse than this because in a full run you should be entering stage four with 3.20 power, I believe. Not that bombing Nitori's noncards is needed. Not if it'll get you killed at the end of this stage because of such power issues.

I'm new to this. So when you have grazing competitions, you need to intentionally die then use the invulnerable period to maximize graze points?

>>2943412
Pretty much.

>>2943412
In SA yes, in other games no, the death cancels out all the bullets anyway. SA's grazing is kind of retarded.

Wow, I beat my highscore without capturing a single spellcard.

>>2943427
It works in other games. For instance if you suicide right before a giant swirl of bullets or something, you can use the invulnerability to get in there for a second or two for good graze as the bullets get fired again.

>>2943427
That may be true, but there are still useful applications for it. For instance, in PCB with Alice's last noncard you can time your death so her upcoming spread circle wave isn't canceled out by the miss, but you are still invulnerable long enough to enter the center of it. You can even shoot to activate your border while invulnerable and it'll activate as the circle of red bullets closes around you. Special bullets like the notes in Phantom Dinning / Live Poltergeist won't despawn during a miss and you can sit on them to rack up graze.

>>2943482
>>2943475
Which are good examples why I dislike single stage practice runs. You just get showered in lives so you can pull of stunts like this, especially in grazing challenges.

>>2943511
Why is this bad? It's just a different objective, so the playstyle changes. You have to play differently than you normally do, that's what makes it fun.

The challenges like this are definitely my favorites for the touhou games. The lowest-graze SA level from last night was damn fun.

>>2943511
You get saturated with lives in PCB and SA anyway so people still do some of these stunts to contribute to the scoring potential of their run.

>>2943536
This is true. If you watch the world record SA run he suicides at certain spots, for both the invulnerability to graze, and for more bombs, also for grazing. PCB is similar although I think in that case it has more to do with bomb restocks for timing borders with Sakuya B.

>>2943156

>>2943368
>>2943399
Thanks for the guide. I have made no deaths, no bombs runs for all stages, except Stage 4 and 6. Maybe I can do a perfect Stage 4 now. Saved for future generations.

>>2943511
>>2943526
Subterranean Animism is ideal for grazing rounds, it is fun and you can learn about new places to graze and how to do it properly.

Second entry. Got the safespot correctly this time, but got killed half the way into the spell card.

>>2943618
What? Details, you died after not moving for that long?

>>2943624
Yeah, I was surprised myself, died around 15-20 seconds into the spell card. Had to retreat to the bottom.

OP here.

Subterranean Animism round will stay open until the end of this one.

Next challenge is Mountain of Faith, Stage 5. Normal mode only.

Faith based round. The player with the largest amount of faith at the end of the stage is the winner.

Any character and weapon allowed except MarisaB.

Rules for standard game.
1. You only have one try (that means no second chances and no restarts).
2. No replays (the run must be played by you and at the moment).

You have until 20:30.

I have always seen Sanae as Reimu's alter ego.

OKAY DODONPACHI YOU WIN I GIVE UP.

After trying all day for 100m, failing more times than I can remember, today is just not my day to do it. I probably had some better runs earlier but this was my last one from just now, to give you guys something to compete with. Lost 2 lives to the stage 4 boss and threw away the rest of the run after some stage 5 practice.

>I have always seen Sanae as Reimu's alter ego.
slut jokes ahoy!

>>2943799
That's actuall really good. Don't you expect to actually get better at dodging bullet in the middle of a nerdrage.

Try again later when to have cool down a bit.

OP here.

Winner: >>2943779.
Damn that was close.

Last challenge is Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, Stage 6. All difficult modes open.

Score based round.

Reimu Only.

Rules for standard game.
1. You only have one try (that means no second chances and no restarts).
2. No replays (the run must be played by you and at the moment).

You have until 21:15.

Blah.

>>2943779
>3 bombs left

>>2943904
Screw you guys, I only just got Touhou.. I can't make it past EoSD Stage 5 before needing to use a continue. (Which I don't, cause continues are for the lose. Normal mode Sakuya is such a bitch! And Patchy doesn't help either..)

>>2943973
Bombed her last noncard for extra faith, but only two could fit in before her lifebar was nearly depleted.

>>2943990
Nevermind, I'm an idiot. I read your reaction the wrong way. Leaving that post up to reflect my stupidity.

>>2943990
how did you reach it to 340k?
i can only reach it to 300k

Gave it another go and broke my score! Didn't get the 100m though... 9m away...

Second loop gets your heart beating so fast I almost died.

>>2944003
Bomb Sanae's midboss noncards, too. Having full power throughout the stage means more small pieces of Faith, but no matter how well you do at midboss Sanae, she either gives Power or Spirit, never Faith. There's also the "heavy-duty" fairy towards the end of the stage that spews way too many bullets, and you can get much more faith from bombing it than the cost of the bombing penalty itself.

OP here.

Level EX Scene 7 winner: >>2939223.
Level 7 Scene 1 winner: >>2937628.
DoDonPachi round winner:>>2942042.
Kamui round winner: >>2942557.
EoSD round winner: >>2943946.

That would be all. If someone want to continue this thread, please do. Thanks for playing.

>>2944095
Why must you always post arousing images when ending the threads

Aww my scores aren't allowed? ;_;

>>2944132
Hmmm, well the round rules were only 1 credit try. I just assumed that >>2943799 and >>2944014 are not the first one. Sorry if I am wrong.

Still it is a really good run. Good job.

BUT I STARTED THE DODONPACHI ROUND THIS IS ALL I HAVE LEFT IN LIFE IF I DONT WIN IM GONNA KILL MYSELF OH MY GOD MAN

No that sounds fair enough, I did spend all day playing it while everyone else did one credit, haha.

Let's do a 1st credit Battle Garegga HARDER MODE next time. See if anyone gets past level 2 or 3!

>>2944003
Something like this.
http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=3968
After I got the bright idea of bombing other shit it took fucking forever to get a run where I didn't die to routine things. Not very aesthetically pleasing.

>>2944168
I'll take that as a request. Sure added. Also see the good side, you will probably win the next round DDP round (if the DDP god tier players don't show up).

I can get to stage 4 on Battle Garegga, and have got 2 times to stage 5. I'm also trying to 1cc Batrider's Normal mode. Hopefully I'll make next thread soon.

Harder mode is ridiculous though. I'm not even sure if it's EVER been cleared.

Okay, I'm going to actually try continuing the thread.

First round is Shoot the Bullet, Scene 3-6.

Time based round, the most time by the end of the scene wins.

Rules for Shoot the Bullet.
1. You can try all times you want, but the first game that you complete is the one that counts.
2. No replays (the run must be played by you and at the moment).

You have until 22:20.

Please send in requests or I'll just go in the order MoF>PCB>IN>SA>EoSD.

Why can't we have more tripfriends like OP? Thanks, it was fun

http://img116.imageshack.us/i/lowtimeshit.png/

This went surprisingly well after the ragefest that was stage five MoF.

It feels weird to score so low.

Good luck.

>>2944230
protip: he doesn't have a tripicode, so he's a namefriend, not a tripfriend.

>>2944263 is the winner.

Next challenge is Mountain of Faith, Stage 3. All difficulty modes open.

Score based round.

Any character and weapon allowed except MarisaB.

Rules for standard game.
1. You only have one try (that means no second chances and no restarts).
2. No replays (the run must be played by you and at the moment).

Failed two of Nitori's spellcards.

>>2944301
Oh hey, cool, screenshot didn't save... ;_;

I'll assume >>2944362 is the winner.
Next challenge is Perfect Cherry Blossom, Stage 6. All difficulty modes open.

Score based round.

Any character and weapon allowed EXCEPT Sakuya.

Rules for standard game.
1. You only have one try (that means no second chances and no restarts).
2. No replays (the run must be played by you and at the moment).

You have until 23:10.

>>2944376
This level really rapes your face if you haven't seen it for a while. I've 1cc'd on hard, yet lost 4 or 5 lives running this stage on normal. Part of it was probably me using Marisa to try for a better score, but still, this was pretty bad.

http://img200.imageshack.us/i/fuckingshit.png/

Ah fuck.

>>2944430
Also, this'll be my last round of the night, so if no one else submits, you might want to try some time when it's busier.

I think I've just done better than I ever have during a practice stage run of this.

And damn it, I forgot to alter the copy-paste.

>>2944440
Are we...playing the same game?
Jesus christ, you've apparently mastered PCB's scoring system. I at least have a chance of beating you in EoSD or IN, but I doubt I'll ever get a score like that.

I've listened to this about 100 times today.
Shalom

>>2944440 is the winner.
I'm going to stop now. There doesn't appear to be many players right now.

>>2944465
I believe picless anon is actually Heartbeam, a frequenter of the tops of the english scoreboards.

Well like half your fuckin' score on a stage 6 run comes from that one spell card where the wispy things explode then move, youknowtheone. Also helps if you can do that POC technique on the final card for shit tons of full point items.
