I don't see any problem here.
What, are you trying to say that anyone believes Touhou has a well developed canon? It doesn't, which is what has allowed the thousands of doujins.

>>3427102
Secondary SHMUP fans are still real Touhou fans.

Wow that's some generic sci-fi shit. Makes me cringe to see him explain it with so much excitement.

>>3427116

Swing and a miss, Jones.

The point is that Touhou is mediocre in comparison to far better Shmups.

And I could do the inverse.

I wish i was the little girl

>>3427134
What superior SHMUPS are you reffering to?

There was a SHIP in the HIGH NUMBER CENTURY and ALIENS and a WORMHOLE and it filled me with wonder and awe because I am stupid and have childlike tastes

>>3427151

Tripfags don't know shit.
Also they are gay and retarded[according to Anon]. Don't ask me anything. Hide thread, sage, report, etc.

>>3427137
>>3427147

Butthurt.

>>3427159

>>3427165
So... you can't think of any or won't tell because of what anonymous users think?
Great comeback.

>Secondary fan
That is the stupidest fucking term ever
It's almost as bad as the "true NEET" bullshit

>>3427185

Cry some more, secondary.

>>3427188
When did shmup faketrolling become your shtick

There should be a Touhou with characters based on Warhammer 40k primarchs.

Can somebody tell me what a 'secondary' fan is? Or for that matter, a 'primary' fan.

>>3427199

Both are mediocre forms of entertainment, so I -don't- see what you did there.

I fail to see what this Thread is about.

>>3427199
I could make a similar picture, except extolling the individual plotlines of VNs in the top half and putting 'You play a girl who flies around and shoots things.' in the bottom half.

The point? Anything can be made to look like shit if you're selective with what you show.

As long as it's fun to play and challenging, I don't see how Touhou is mediocre.

>>3427240
Welcome to the wonderful world of trolling.

i see darius and ikaruga and rtype what are the others

>>3427240
That's part of the fun.

Only secondary shump fans would make a big deal over the plot exposition and characters.

Someone like >>3427134
taking the OP image as an argument for why other shumps are better than Touhou (without presenting any other reasons) is behaving awfully like a secondaryfan himself.

I devoted at least 1 hour of my day to Touhou since years now.
It is fun, i enjoy it, brings a bit of happiness in my life.

>>3427249
>part of the fun

You imply there's more to the fun. Aside from successfully trolling people like me, is there anything else?

>>3427248

Progear, Einhander and Strikers 1945, I guess.

>>3427249
I have to agree with this.

>>3427239

Fags get trolled by OP, and cry.

>>3427256
You only successfull troll people when they start to rage and hate and much shitstorm is going on. The more Rage and faggotry and the more people attack each other the more a troll gets off to it.

>>3427240
Actually, that's exactly what I was trying to prove.

>>3427262
Oh... And here I thought a troll was successful as soon as somebody took it seriously. I guess I need to brush up on internet etiquette.

>>3427269

It's just replies they need. Even if it's a negative reply.

It's a funny image but even Touhou's stupid stories have 10 times the care and detail of most shmups' 1 paragraph token plot.

>>3427249
This is an exception rather than the rule. I see no way to flip it around.

>>3427269
A troll is successful if and only if you give him attention.
"Troll" is just a new name for attention whore.

>>3427281
It's the original.
Then, goes downhill.

>>3427269
If you just take a troll serious there is no gain for him. Trolls try to find out what you like and attack you for it, waiting for others to join in or posing as others so that an argument appears. The more people rage about it the more successful the troll is. Ignoring him is the best way to get rid of such people.

Anyone here plays on lunatic?

I think I have already said this in >>3427267
but I wasn't trying to troll anyone. Just trying to prove how retarded OP is.

>>3427287
>We follow the daily life of a super hero and the organization trying to beat him, except the bad guys are a lot nicer than the super hero
Death Note?

>>3427272
But there is nothing emotional about them because nobody dies.

You are now aware that ZUN writes better plots than Nasu.

>>3427291
Whenever it is a sane thing to do.

>>3427310
I'm actually aware that creative fanbase uses the characters better.

>>3427298
no its bobobobobobobobobo

>>3427298
Astro Fighter Sunred

>>3427301
It's easy to have emotion without death. As far as I've seen, though, the actual Touhou games don't do this.

>>3427315
That seems to happen a lot, but is it that they're using the characters better, or that you're part of the same fanbase as they are, and like the same things they do? If you have two very similar people, something one of them enjoys writing has a good chance of being viewed as 'good' by the other person. So do the fans 'use the character better', or just have a better idea of what fans want to see/read?

Touhou is horrible. You need to be really far removed from reality to consider Touhou anything but shit. Being mentally ill is practically a requirement to care about it.

>>3427341

It's not horrible, but it certainly isn't good.

X is horrible. You need to be really far removed from reality to consider x anything but shit. Being mentally ill is practically a requirement to care about it.

>>3427334
They do not actually, it was more of a joke statement.
But to answer semi-seriously, these fans in their creations, use them in situations NOT covered(What IF factor), and ignore bad traits and only use the entertaining ones.
Not good use of the characters as personalities, but as pure entertainment value.

>>3427347
Good point. Fans DO use the characters better, from a certain point of view. Not one I share, but one I can understand and empathize with.

>>3427341
At least is not Kamen Rider.

There are only a handful of regular shmups that are actually worth playing, people treat it like some sacred genre

go back to /v/

>>3427102

That's just fucking embarrassing. If you care about the plot of any shmup that is not a touhou you are a faggut.

That's the difference between a touhou and a lesser shmup. The only think the lesser shmups have is gameplay. Touhou has the whole package.

This is a great thread. Thanks guys.
