/jp/ - Otaku Culture

This card really gave me a lot more trouble than it should have. After beating it, I've tried several times to try to spin around her to see how far I could get, but I've only gotten about 2-3 shots at most, I can't remember.

>>5291091
Also, I NEVER knew that Kogasa's ball-bullets were supposed to be a top-view of an umbrella until DS.

why are you making this thread again?

If we can talk about general spellcard shit too...

Can someone please explain any of Yuugi's spellcards? Her ability doesn't make a whole lot of sense by itself, so I don't even know what to think about her spellcards.

You're a cool dude anon, and I would like to discuss spellcards with you, but I'm too much of a touhou noob. Can't even 1cc on normal yet ;_;

How do you do Sakuya's Misdirection in EoSD? I have no idea what to do.

>>5291118
The topic has been made wider so more and more people can discuss spell cards. The other topic is very messy and discussing spellcard loss only is very sad! People can talk about winning and beautiful spell cards here.

The old topic is deleted so it will not waste posting. ECO*FRIENDLY!

>>5291091
You are not alone in trying to spin around her.

Now that we're talking about spellcards, I'd like to say that this spellcard, Suwako's "Suwa War - Native Myth vs Central Myth", is my favorite spellcard. It's a fair and pretty easy spellcard compared to the rest of Suwako's arsenal and is enjoyable to attempt. It starts off as a silence before the storm and eventually becomes are hectic mess of frogs and snakes.
Yep, favorite spellcard

>>5291145

All the bullets are aimed directly at you, figure it out.

Fucking Illusionary Dominance. How does it work?
I usually become nervous and keep dying on the last shots. And if I try to stay calm, then my reaction suffers. Fuck.

I think this spell card doesn't fit Cirno well.
How can she stop the bullets mid-air? She's not Sakuya!

>>5291178
Nothing moves at absolute zero, not even the molecules that make up matter.

>>5291178
Think of it as very gently falling snow.
Then the wind blows as she throws her ice balls, and they scatter in different directions.

>>5291145
Misdirection is basically the card that teaches people not to fucking panic, chill out, and move only when you need to, and only as much as you need to.

>>5291174
DS English patch is done? Oh joy.

I love this card so much. It was presented so well, I can't get enough of it.

For a stage 2 spell card on Lunatic, this must be the hardest to date.
I mean, as if the pink bullets weren't enough, you have the umbrellas(?) coming from your left and right ramming you, and if you do destroy them you have to dodge the spawning white bullets too. All while dodging through said pink bullets.
It's pure bullshit; even Murasa's spell cards are easier!
I have only cleared it once with Sanae B, and I can't understand how it would be possible with any other character unless you shotgun Kogasa.

>>5291216
I think her last spellcard is harder tbh.

I like all of these spell cards. All of them.

Just fuck off with your loli debates, we are talking about real business here.

Patchouli has the best spellcard names in my eyes.

Since most of the names were in katakana, there isn't really any creativity on the translator's part to make it sound awesome or anything. Patchouli's cards are directly from ZUN, and they use incredibly snazzy words and references that you would not expect from a drunk Japanese man. The single-element cards were already quite cool in name, but it gets even better when she starts combining two elements. And ending it with all the elements and the Philosopher's Stone? ZUN, you've got to be kidding me man, that is too fucking awesome.

I find it funny that it's possible to stream Sanae's nuke just by tapping left or right after she fires it off. The radiation leftover was a bitch to survive three times in a row though.

Sakuya's "The World" on Lunatic Mode...what a trip.

>>5291243
i never can beat the phantasm stage
i lost 3 min ago ;_;

>>5291270
Fuck my life, there's all this shit I haven't seen.

I've only seen so little of Gensokyo.

>>5291286
It just takes plenty of practice, don't worry too much about it~
I got that score 10 minutes before I posted it. ;_;

>>5291270
This is how I beat it the first time, before I saw other people beat it by taking a picture when it explodes and charging for another one before the left over bits get too hectic. The tap through the explosion is definitely better for scoring, though.

I like this card because it solves itself.

>>5291321
I remember beating this card out of pure luck, when I first started playing StB ages ago. Never looked back. I still don't know if there's a trick to it or anything.

>>5291173
>>5291194
Thanks, it was a breeze going through it.

>>5291174
FUCK YEAH. Just beat it, I love you, /jp/.

>>5291337
That's how I felt at first too. There's no real trick to beating it, just because -like I mentioned- it almost solves itself. Because you'll be forced to take a picture to live, which makes an opening, Which you xploit, fifnd another opening to enter the circle, which allows you to charge, and then you're forced to take another picture to live, which makes another opening, and it just keeps going until you beat it, and you say, "How'd I do that?"

>>5291358
Well, we didn't help you.

But love is always nice.

I need to beat StB and DS.

>>5291358
Good job, but are you SUPER PLAYER?

>>5291369
You fail to understand anything. We don't need to impart any words. As long as you believe in the spirit of danmaku, all of /jp/ will be right behind you in your danmaku journeys.

>>5291381
Nope, it'll take me long time (if at all) to muster enough patience to clear all the missing ones from 8-ex.

>>5291365

>>5291321
The great thing about this spellcard is that although it is pretty much the same every time, there are still a lot of different ways to clear it. I cleared it before looking for replays and was surprised to see that there are different was for clearing it.

Which DS spellcard did people find the hardest? Looking through my game I see that on 9-1, 10-8, 12-4, 12-7, and EX-5 I took over 300 photos each for my first clear with 12-4 and EX-5 each over 400.

EX-5 I found bitchy because unless you took out the four circles closest to her those lasers would trap you like nothing else. 12-4 simply took me so long because of its last two shots.

>>5291420
It is a cool card that way, I was surprised at how much higher the score could go when I went for it. I wonder how many people have bothered getting a 200k+ score on it.

>>5291365
Wow, I'm not sure what happened with my typing there. It just died.

>>5291420
I just took a look too. Some guy stayed outside the circle the whole time and shot inwards, while another guy made 4 holes in the circle with the edges of the viewfinder to make a complete safe zone so he can just stay inside the whole time. Pretty ballsy, I want to try!

>>5291463
I did it, but I ran out of room for replays. is there anyway to increase the cap of 20?

>>5291485
You have about 60 more spaces if you rename your replays like th95_udXXXX, the Xs being any four characters. You can keep more than that in your replay folder, but it just stops showing them in-game past the 60th plus the 20 that go with the regular name scheme. So you can have a total of 80 replays accessible on your replay page at one time in game. Though there's 85 scenes total in StB though so you can never have a single replay of every stage in there at one time.

>>5291508
Thanks much. I tried to do the card with as little movement as possible, but I started panicking at the end and wasted a huge point opportunity.

Another card I like is StB's 10-7, I haven't beaten it yet though.

I love Marisa's spells so much.

They're so pretty. Stardust Reverie is one of my favorite cards to look at, I want to get good enough to see the upgraded version (is it Event Horizon?) in motion.

>>5291549
This card does feel nice. I also felt like I've improved immensely when I played it again. I remember those last two shots being much harder than they are for some reason, but as of now they feel really simple. Was even able to time my shots to shoot when Komachi shot.

I also noticed Komachi stays in a single pose until you take two pictures of her.

Meiling won't let me beat her in StB.

>>5291123
I tried to make heads or tails of it. It looks like a bunch of random shit, most of her spellcards are a depiction of incredible feats or unsettling and disturbing occurrences. Supernatural phenomena seems like an okay way to describe all of it, but I'm not exactly sure how it's something you can freely manipulate. I guess small stuff like "Shackles a Criminal Can't Take Off" makes sense, but...

There's just not enough info.

>>5291632
Let me guess, 5-5 or 5-1?

>>5291706
5-1 wasn't too bad.

5-5.

bump

Bump.

Does anyone else enjoy it when you have a eureka moment that allows you to do a card easily? Just had one when trying to score on EX-2.

>>5291726
Me too, bro. It took me like 500 pictures to beat 5-1, and then, trying to capture 5-5, I just said fuck it when I got to 200.

>>5291726
>>5297006
The ideal way to do this scene for this scene is wait until Meiling gets near the top or bottom and then take a shot to get rid of her kick bullets, wait for her to kick once more at you while still at the bottom of the screen then dash to the top or bottom of screen and charge. She gets too fast for this after photo three, but it's still possible if you misdirect two kicks before moving to the top or bottom of the screen to charge, ideally one pointing to the right side of the screen then one pointing to the left side.

However by the last photo she gets too fast for any charging so you need to just keep moving and wait for your camera to charge naturally for the last one. Using the method I outlined above it is possible to do the first five photos with minimal dodging. The last one is still going to be tough though.

>>5296996
Yes, because that means I'm beating it.

>>5297147
I did it. I feel like crying.

Thanks for the help. I just kept switching between the upper-left corner and the bottom-right corner so there wouldn't be any surprise bullets that catch me at an odd angle, and to maximize the distance where I can charge.

>>5297543
Congrats. Hope you fare well in any other cards you may be having troubles with.

Nue is just so screwy that I always lose a life in some bullshit manner and then the power loss, which is especially important in Nue's UFO cards, makes me lose too many lives to survive Heiankyo Nightmare effectively. Not to mention how much perfection the stage demands of you. This single extra is making me enjoy the very concept of shmups less.

For a stage midboss, Momiji puts out a fucking ton of danmaku even on Normal.

Not to mention having one of my all-time favorite stage themes

Also it is very difficult to grab a screenshot and not die, as i've found out.

>>5297771
Momiji is too unfair not to bomb above normal. Even on normal I usually use a bomb on her.

Reliable way to deal with Fujiyama Volcano: does it exist? That fracking card is the brick wall between me and defeat of one of my favorite Touhous.

>>5297850
Still screws me up a lot even after having seen Imperishable Shooting, but you generally need to go to a corner and stream the triple red waves widely, but not too quickly. You sometimes need to move up, and the part with the dense bullets as well is hard... Luckily she has one of the easier survival spells, though I sometimes screw up the streaming bit. I'm glad the speed you can stream at is more or less in the beat of the music.
