It's the opposite. I love the games but have zero interest in exploring the lore or the characters beyond the little I see in the games. It's not QUITE enough to make me interested in learning more.

I haven't played or read traditional Touhou in like 10 years.
I only fap to the characters.

TH1 is mediocre.

TH2 is mediocre.

TH3 is mediocre.

TH4 is amazing.

TH5 is amazing.

TH6 is ass. Even with the hitbox patch it's still ass.

TH7 is a masterpiece.

TH8 is amazing.

TH9 is pretty good.

TH10 is decent.

TH11 is kind of ass.

TH12 is kind of ass.

TH13 is good.

TH14 is pretty good.

TH15 is amazing despite the insane difficulty.

TH16 is pretty good.

>>37785774
EoSD is ass because it features Rumia, the loli with the smelliest ass in all of Gensokyo because she can't wash herself in the darkness.

Incorrect.
>>37785774
I like 1, 3 and 11 are fine, agree with the rest.

>>37785551
Nobody is bad enough to be unable to beat TH8, it's braindead levels of easy for casuals.

>>37785551
The games are my favorite part of the series. Getting a 1cc after dying hundreds of times feels amazing.
The only manga I read was the fairies' one.

I like the fan art and the character designs. I might play the game one day.

I barely remember their names. Touhou larpers are a different breed.

>>37785774
All the games are ass because every single one features 2hu girls with smelly asses that shit and fart.

Touhou games are pretty much the only games I finish nowadays.

It's the other way around. I (struggle) finish the games but I often don't finish the manga or other similar media. I also replay the games whenever another game is about to get released which is something I rarely do for other games.

But I cleared PCB and IN on normal

And you've never read the Higurashi VNs, just watched the anime, right?

>>37785551
I was into the series for 4 years before reading a single manga.
>>37785774
TH6 is a classic. The game is super memorable and fun. It's also the last game with PC-98 style danmaku but you can experience it in windows. But I agree it's not his best.

So far I have at least one normal 1cc in each windows game up to LoLK. All so I can have context when reading official works and non-h doujinshi.
>>37785774
Any reason you like PCB so much? I'm biased toward it because of the winter theme.
Also I staunchly believe UFO's resource system is fun once you get the hang of multitasking dodging and tracking ufos.

>>37785551
I've finished several fangames!

>>37785551
Bitch I play them as everyday pastime for 10+ years.

No, but i have been working each day to 1CC EoSD!

I 1cc'd most of the games and I didn't even touch the manga.

>>37785551
I CCd four normal mode games(with extra lives) after five months of playing.

>>37785551
I've CCed TH7, TH8 and TH10 on normal, never read any manga, have a crapton of art.

I enjoy many yuri doujins

>>37809931
>with extra lives
Wussy.

>>37817233
I just want to see the ending

>>37785551
but I do buy and support the product though.

>>37785551
I’ve beat every game on hard and a few on lunatic. Secondaries eat shit.

>>37785551
TH1 is weird but interesting in its own right
TH2-5 are awful and pcuck98's can off themselves
TH6 is a classic and the best one
TH7 is not quite as good but still great
TH8 is ass
TH9...
TH10 is pretty good
TH11 is KINO. if it was more fun to play it'd top 6 but as it stands it's a close 2nd
TH12 is mediocre at best
TH13 is great, just filters the fuck out of me and most people
TH14 is cool
TH15 is good but if you don't meticulously learn every pattern you're gonna suffer
TH16 is alright, a bit unbalanced but still fun
TH17 is fucking garbage
TH18 is alright again

>>37785551
I beat LoLK once on pointdevice because anons told me to do it for reisen

>>37785551
I unironically play Touhou for gameplay. Manga fucking sucks and characters are only good for hentai.

>>37785551
I play them all the time but I need continues.

Jokes on you, I finished most games on easy mode.

I played the first one. It was pretty alright.

>>37809931
>5 months
>I'm still just short getting a normal 1cc on 7 after almost 5 years of trying

>>37809931
Doesn’t count.
>>37824157
Do Touhou fans have head dents? I have to be missing something.

>>37785551
I haven't even read the manga.

>>37824628
I'm just really bad at touhou man, I dont know what else to tell you. the guys I usually talk to about touhou aren't nearly as bad.

>>37824902
Everyone is so much better than me at Touhou. I feel so humiliated and ashamed of myself and my abilities. Why can't I get just one (1) thing right in my life? I don't think I'll ever get to beat UFO or LoLK.

>>37824157
How often did you play in those 5 years?
Took me 2 weeks of daily practice to normal 1cc PCB as a newcomer. But I think that had less to do with skill and more my autistic level of motivation.

>>37824920
Humiliated and ashamed? I mean, yeah you’re right you suck at touhou and you’re a secondary but don’t be a fag about it.

>>37824157
I used to have the same problem until I listen to anons in gameplay thread to try Sakuya A. One CCd it in first try(extra lives), busted character. Other option is Marisa B since her bomb is a skip button, but gonna have a hard time with Youmu especially the second last Spellcard since she moved around a lot

How many of you use extra lives? I’m surprised to see so many people cheating. It makes me wonder if the anons who post their 1cc charts in the gameplay thread use extra lives as well.

>>37785551
I read the manga, novels, omakes, the game scripts and other interview/written material
And watch the endings

>>37825742
I even used the Marisa B glitch in MoF for my first MoF one CC

>>37825742
I think I did that when I was starting out, but I was back to default number by the time I was able to successfully do 1cc.

>>37785551
I've watched the full gameplay of all games, some more than once. I'm just really bad at the genre, and I don't feel like practicing either.
Also, I like being able to see spell cards in detail, rather than concentrating 100% on dodging things. Some are so beautiful and fit the music so well that I go back to the videos to see them again.

>you just read the manga and save the art
Are you implying that the mangas are inferior in any way? I love them.

>>37820369
This.

>>37785551
I've finished 6, 7, 8a and 9 on normal and 1cc 7 on normal aswell.

>>37785551
I finished all the main touhou games on easy mode with every character, except for th13 and th17 because Youmu plays like ASS!

>>37824157
Sakuya A has 4 bombs per life and an OP homing shot, making PCB one of the easiest 1ccs if you use her.

>>37827183
>Also, I like being able to see spell cards in detail, rather than concentrating 100% on dodging things. Some are so beautiful and fit the music so well that I go back to the videos to see them again.
Actually, the trancelike state that dodging a hard pattern puts you in goes better with the music than anything else. I highly recommend you work at 1ccing just one game (anything but LLS because that one's basically free), it's an eye opener.

I beat mountain of faith but you're right i can't beat subteran animeism

>>37785551
True

>>37785774
>TH11 is kind of ass.

im terrible at shmups, i just cant stand them. how are they even fun? youre just dodging bullets. touhou characters, hentai, and memes are good tho.

>>37853256
i hate touhou memes, i just cant stand them. how are they even funny? youre just laughing at a 13 year old joke you’ve heard 100 times. games and manga are good tho.

Yes. Bullet hell games suck ass. I'm not going to spend hours building muscle memory just so I can get gamer cred on an obscure imageboard.

>>37853544
It isn’t muscle memory, not that you have muscle anyway pussyboy.
Another W for danmaku chads.

>>37832138
Ok, anon. I'll try PCB, it's the easiest after LLS, right? Also, Yukarin is there, so bonus points.

I will practice 2h everyday for 2 weeks, that's the best I can currently do. Wish me luck.

>>37854396
>I'll try PCB, it's the easiest after LLS, right?
Depends. PCB is 'easy' due to Cherry borders and Alice is among the easiest Stage 3 boss in the series. However, Prismrivers, Youmu and Yuyuko will cuck you hard from your 1CC attempt. Also if you never touch PCB before, watch out for her 'true' final Spell.
IN is also easy due to the death bomb delay, and the low tier bosses will teach you basic micro dodging, while the highest boss will train you for criss cross bullets. Also Stage 5 bos's is really easy once you understand how she works. The stage four bosses however, are fucking pieces of shit and will consume a lot of your lives and bombs especially if your characters are bad against them(Team Magician is a pain to use against Stage 4 boss)
MoF bosses are quite hard, you will probably need to bomb as early as Stage 2. Stage 3 boss will force you to bomb her last two Spells, and Stage 4 will force you to bomb spam throughout the Stage. The Stage 4 boss? Dont even bother trying to capture her Spells. But its good for beginners since it trains you to bomb in sense of danger, and since it gives you an infinite amount of bombs, you can just bomb all you want. (Also Marisa B has a glitch that makes the 1CC attempt a landslide)
TD's spells are easy, but the resources are very limited. I honestly think its the worst among the beginner friendly 2hu game, since it deters you from bombing, which is not good for beginners.

>>37854396
I 1CCed UFO after LLS.
The game just drowns you in extra lives.

>>37785551
i 1cc'd eosd when i was 14
cry about it

>>37785551
>you just read the manga and save the art.
wrong, I watched the fan-made anime and I listen to a ton of Touhou music
you have no idea how well some of the doujin songs carry the lore, especially if you understand moonrunes

>>37866915
i'm assuming not long ago

>>37853256
Sometimes I wonder if I'm the odd one out for completely ignoring all lewd Touhou content. Not that I can't appreciate some good titties and ass, but I'm in it for the games, lore, and fun non-h doujinshi. The lewd stuff just feels wrong to me after getting so invested in the setting, you know?

>>37827183
Do you also prefer watching someone else fuck your girlfriend to "see everything in detail"?

>>37785551
Cave shooters are better anyways.

Beat most of them on 1cc normal, Mountain of Faith on normal with every character, and on hard with Reimu.
I only really read Inabas and just checked out other written works.
Never beat either of Tengu spin-offs

>>37785551
Actually I've completed the second one on easy mode

>>37871573
>girlfriend
>/jp/

>>37873861
I browse /jp/ and I have a girlfriend.
Here's a picture of her.

>>37785551
Fuck you Takano. I have 1ccs on all main games, except 1.

>>37785680
same here, I just fap to 4chan threads of the characters

>>37785551
Yeah, I got filtered hard by the games. Bullet hells are harder than learning Japanese.

>>37820269
Do people really shit on pointdevicefags? LoLK was my last 1CC to do, but once I figured out Extra was unlocked from Pointdevice I stopped caring about 1CCing it. Fuck attempting Junko even on Easy.

>>37871500
I'm invested and love the lewds. Are you younger maybe? I remember years ago I would never look at Clannad porn for example. Now I just don't care, even if I'm invested.

>>37832138
>I don't feel like practicing either
Just take it slow. Just try a couple attempts, then play another time. Eventually you will get better and want to play more.

>>37882104 meant for >>37827183

>>37871573
what the fuck is a girlfriend

>>37882079
Not sure if you'd call mid 20s young, but I totally understand how familiarity can make h-content hotter. But the same doesn't apply to Touhou for me. If anything it's opposite.

>>37785551
i can post my replays from 6 to 10, i am not the best player but i have 1cc's under my pocket

But I finished PCB and IN on normal

I don't like video games.

i have gotten into 2hu because of the gameplay and use it for that purpose (and porn, and some music)
imagine claiming to be a big fan of a videogame series and then not playing

>>37785774
>7 is a masterpiece
agreed
>8 is amazing
downgrade from 7 imo though people lynch me when i voice that opinion
>9 is pretty good
weird janky mess (at least in sigleplayer) where you 1cc by getting to the yama with enough lives so she just lets you win because the ai will suicide if you die to them a few times
>TH11 is kind of ass.
it is the best one because of powerbombs and lack of cheesy shottypes. you either get good or get the fuck out
>13
i do like it but its easy as hell with a bizzare one dimensional signature mechanic and a very saturated soundscape, much worse than IN which already had a lot of out of place earrape
>SCHLOP-SHCHOP-SHCLOP SHCLOOP
>*sounds of a baloon getting deflated*
>SLUUUUUURP
>14
features the absurdity that is Sakuya A

>>37785551
I do try, I'm just very retarded and have never managed to get passed stage 4 in any game.

>>37854854
>The Stage 4 boss? Dont even bother trying to capture her Spells. But its good for beginners since it trains you to bomb in sense of danger, and since it gives you an infinite amount of bombs, you can just bomb all you want
NTA but thanks for the tips, I'm having trouble against her.

you got me

>>37785551
I've finished a few of them and have never touched any Touhou manga or any other side material.

>>37893685
>lack of cheesy shottypes
Reimu A: lol, lmao

>>37785774
Excellent taste
Despite UFO and SA being done so dirty

All the lazy fags in here.

>>37785551
I like Yuuka

>>37785551
I've finished all games, except PC-98. Because i'm lazy nigger and can't force myself to download fucking emulator.

imagine owning a fumo but never having played a single touhou game
