>So I've been collecting an unreasonable amount of Touhou artwork and doujins for a while and figured it's about time I actually started playing the games
>Normally I live in /a/


heh.

best you not mention you visit /a/ next time, that make people go nuts for some reason.

I'd say keep going for normal, you don't get to even go past Sakuya in easy mode...

and when you beat EoSD, you'll find PCB at least marginally easier

It's not that /jp/ hates these threads, but not mentioning that you're a denizen of /a/ would do you a lot of good.
If normal's giving you trouble, drop down to easy for a bit and get used to the basics of the spellcards. The change from easy to normal is not so extreme as the jump from normal to hard, where hard will add new aspects to old spellcards and trash packs in addition to adding entirely new spellcards.
Most people will tell you EoSD is one of the harder Touhou games, or at least harder than IN and PCB. Don't let gamer ego hold you back from making use of Easy as practice if you need it.

Never EVER play easy mode.

NEVER.

Also, start with PCB, its the best one anyway.

eh?

>All 15 lives

Using continues gives you the bad endings and doesn't unlock extra stages(Usually). Work on that.

Also, practice mode is wonderful for Patchouli and Sakuya's stages.

Well, it is the best one, even I agree with most people on that.

SA ranks third, behind MoF

>>6116153
I still have yet to gather the courage to try and get good enough to 1CC SA on normal so I can see the ending and extra stage. Feels bad man.

Well, I got a lot better between my first few and last few runs, so I'll probably keep trying it on normal mode. Thanks for the advice, everyone.

>I'd say keep going for normal, you don't get to even go past Sakuya in easy mode...
Do you get a "bad end," or what?

>Work on that.
God damn there's a long way to go.

>>6116378
pretty much, as Reimu she tells you to stop being so full of yourself and tells you to go away, and as Marisa you just say "I'm tired, bai"

so yeah, bad end

START WITH EMBODIMENT OF SCARLET DEVIL, DON'T BELIEVE THE PCB STARTING TROLLS.

No need to yell...

>>6116450
Yuuka made me do it.

>>6116456
Don't blame your actions on yuuka!

A strategy that works for beating touhou games is accustoming yourself to a higher difficulty then going back to a lower one to 1cc it. Works well for normal and hard, but not for lunatic since that's the highest.

Also stick with default three lives. In EoSD you should start with three lives, get four more from score, and two from the third and fifth midbosses for a total of nine lives. Each of those lives has three bombs for a total of twentyseven. Use them. Do not die with them.

Some more tips, don't hug the bottom, don't move across the screen like a madman, stream, and remember what kills you so you can avoid it later.

She told me to do it or she would she would keep me away from Rumia and make me her slave. I didn't really have a choice.

>>6116549
That's a damned hard choice to make there...

Not related to the thread topic, but why does /jp/ hate /a/?

>>6116070
>So I've been collecting an unreasonable amount of Touhou artwork

Either you're lying or have shit taste, because if you now have collected that much artwork you'd have a nicer picture to post OP.

>>6119370

Because TORTURE

>>6119370
Because /a/ embodies many things that /jp/ hates.

>>6119370
because /jp/ needs to be even more elitist than /a/.
