>>5946637

so when I kill stuff it turns into those little squares, I need to collect those right

and how many bombs do I get

>>5946658
imperishable night

next I'm downloading Embodiment of Scarlet Devil

then subterranean animism

or should I play them all in order? and can I find the PC-98 games anywhere

FIRST YOU TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES
THEN YOU SHOW US YOUR HITBOX
THEN YOU LET ME DEATHBOMB YOU
THEN WE HAVE TEA
SUCH A LOVELY DAY, EH REIMUH?

Play embodiment of scarlet devil with the retexture patch(Do not use the hitbox patch)

>>5946682
No problem.
It doesn't matter that much which game you start with, it's just that it can be confusing not knowing who all the characters are.
I suggest trying the earlier games out -- not necessarily finishing them before you begin with the next game, just reaching the last stage to get to know the characters is what I did.

You're playing the games to have fun after all, and I had fun trying out all the different scoring systems in every game.

Subterranean Animism made me try to complete the games on harder difficulties though.
That Stage Five boss ...

>(Do not use the hitbox patch)

wait why

>>5946809
Because boxes are for squares.

>>5946809
Well you don't really need it and it teaches bad habits. You'll start to rely on being focused and slow movement. By the way, when you do start to play, the hitbox is about where the belt would be on your characters(Right on the hips).

easy modo is hard ;_;

how am I supposed to watch Reimu/Marisa/whoever's waist and my opponent and all the bullets flying around everywhere

>>5946627

I thought planes went ZHOOM ZHOOM, not that I'm right, but at least I know they don't go vroom vroom.

Took me a long time to 1cc EoSD.

Mostly because its hard but party due to the chance of success is so low. I could just play another game and have more fun depending on my mood.

Of course hard doesn't = bad but its off putting sometimes.

Grow up faggot, nobody who's not autistic cares either

Yesterday, I managed to reach Subtle Melody [Repository of Hirokawa -Phantom-]

I can feel it, I'll beat it on Hard one of these days!

Stop saying easy mode is hard and start trying. I am not a great player, but even I can clear hard-mode after few tries. Even if I screw up few times like getting killed when Sanae's last attack is being cleared out of the screen.

How the hell can I post in so wrong thread.

for me easy mode has been persistently harder than normal/hard mode. There's so much space in the patterns I find myself overlooking bullets and running into strays.

I think another issue other than that is that you're so focused on dodging when you first start that you end up forgetting to think about leading (for aiming/semi aimed shots). Also I remember being far to comfortable with tring to stay on the lower edge of the screen.

Try turning on slow mode and playing hard or lunatic for a while. Also max the available lives and don't forget to bomb if you find yourself cornered. You'll get further and learn more.

I have actually never played a shmup on anything other than the hardest difficulty.
As a result I may perhaps not have beaten that many of them, but the appeal of shmups to me are the difficulty, if I were to find Touhou too hard for me (on lunatic) I would just play an easier shhmup

But I don't really think I miss anything, I find more joy in failing on stage 1 a hundered times rather than succeeding on the very first tries on easier settings.

But I can't really be the only one, can I?
