No link to Ten Desires Movie?
No link to google spreadsheet to see where other Ten Desires bros are?

Hu, am I the only one who cannot bomb if I start a new game after finishing it once?

I don't remember the previous demos well, but I didn't had so many bugs with them

Hey OP, you forgot to link to KoG's quints GET in that thread. Here, I'll help you.

>>7233333

Do you REALLY need another 10 desires thread?

>>7233973
You aren't the only one, it's quite buggy.

Still haven't 1cc'ed it.

>>7233978

Newfags think that when a thread gets 300 posts, they need to make a new thread.

The sad part is that this board is riddled with newfags, so this thread is pretty much the new one anyway.

>>7233978
Yes ! The hype can't be left unbumped.

I demand Zombie KoG this instant

>>7233980
Same here.
not even because of a problem of skills.
Crazy suicidal syndrome ftw.

So is Kogasa going to appear in every Touhou game from now on to surprise the player?

>>7233996
yes
just like sanae

I want a playable kogasa in TH14.
Or a spin-off where you can knock people down with your umbrella.

By the way, Already so many H-fanarts of Kyouko.. Japan sure is fast.

>>7234017
>>7234004

Why is Kogasa such a slut, /jp/?

>>7233973

The only bugs I'm experiencing is Youmu slash based bugs. For some reason after talking to Yuyuko to start the battle, she instantly slashed her. Then there's the slash when dead one as well. Other bugs I haven't experienced yet.

>>7234025
There is also one which prevent your from skipping dialogs, even with the shot key. I got it on my first playthrough with Youmu, most annoying run ever. And it stays until you close the program.

Hey Brian what do you think of this game?
Isn't it a tad bit too easy.

>>7234032
>>7234026
Samefagginglike with the force of a thousand suns

>>7234032
not sure if want...

>>7234035

I didn't know you could skip dialogue until yesterday...

I think the Ten Desires demo is amazing. The best part has got to be Sanae's Bomb.

Translation where

>>7234045
I am a sanae mainer, but I just can't understand the hype about her bomb. I liked her B-type in UFO better.

Her shoot is quite good, though.

Meanwhile, Marisa's Spark just seems to go on forever, fucking christ.

youmu is the best playable character

So does anyone have any replays where the capture the Zombie's final card?

>>7234062
>they

fairy wars' lifebars surprised me, but I cannot say that I am really happy about this.
it's more useful, but I miss my old lifebar.

>>7234064
How is it more useful if you can't even see the boss' HP past all of the bullets?

>>7234062

It's not that tough to capture on Normal. Her first one is much tougher to capture. Although I'm only speaking Normal, I'm not good enough to get to her on Hard or Lunatic.

>>7234056

Sauce Nao.

>>7234073
When this is not the case (90% of the time) you don't have to move your gaze in order to see the boss' health, so yeah, I think it's more useful. But I don't like it either.

What? This isn't even the full thing? Whatever, I'll wait until the real thing is released, not a shitty demo.

>>7234085
Get out.

I'm sorry. I'm kinda retarded. How do I into windowed mode?

I made an erroneous selection in the resolution menu and now it no longer appears when I launch the game.

I deleted the folder and re-extracted but it still doesn't launch when I start the game.

>>7234075
Ah, well yeah, I was talking about Hard.

Normal seems a bit too easy at the moment.

too easy
I really loved the draws, seriously

>>7234096
I've been working on her on hard, but the lasers on her last card seem to either be bugged or have a much bigger hit box than they look like they have.

Otherwise it seems pretty doable on hard, can't comment on lunatic quite yet.

>>7234093
Custom.exe

Ost >D< !!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rul2IKqKpMo&feature=channel_video_title

all of the player character portraits are boring, aside from Youmu's. Her's is the best.

>>7234114
Get out.

>>7234113

Thank you, but which option is it? I don't moon and I'm just kinda clicking on stuff.

I didn't like Youmu's shot at first, but now I love it, but after a while I kept killing myself when trying to score so I don't know if I want to use it anymore. It's a difficult decision. It seems like it's score or bust with Youmu, trying to survive with her is tricky.

>>7234048
waiting too

Youmoe-chan is the kawaii strongest!

>>7234127
Youmu has some survival advantages that the other characters lack, they're just hard to make use of.

For example her charge slash can one shot the big stage 3 fairies that fill the screen with shit on harder difficulties, but you need to be ready in the right place at the right time with it already charged or you might as well kill them normally.

>>7234146

I love her stage capabilities, those fairies go right down like that. The only problems are sometimes I get too close and get myself killed trying to slash them. The bosses are also another problem for me, especially on Lunatic.

>>7234119

>>7234151

Thank you. Sorry for being such a herp. I actually had all the settings correct since it's the same for most of the games, but for some reason adjusting the settings in the custom menu didn't work.

Hitting F10 did, though. Whatever. Thanks again.

The bug where you can't skip dialogue only happens if you continue during a previous run and start up a new game. It doesn't happen if you 1cc it, which is probably why ZUN never noticed it.

Still iffy about being unable to deathbomb consistently. Hopefully, it'll be modified to work with Trance without being such a nuisance.

>>7234200
I'm hoping that the deathbomb issue is just another bug, if the dead period with no deathbombing or trancing makes it into the final release then it's going to be a real pain to play at all consistently.

>>7233960
i just 1CC'd this shit on Lunatic and man that was awesome!
demo was kinda buggy for me but still enjoyable
can't wait for the full release!

I feel bad for only downloading the game now since it seems you guys have been having these threads for a while, so I'll only ask 2 questions.

1. How late am I to the party?
2. Can Youmu not focus without that charge or what?
3. Does the music seem a bit underwhelming to anyone else...?

Okay, so that was three.

>>7234311
1. 2 days late
2. no, she gets a slash attack
3. it does, but it's fixed when the trance and normal music is mixed together
http://www.mediafire.com/?xc7qvxh542rhhgw

>>7234311
>1. How late am I to the party?
By one day.
>2. Can Youmu not focus without that charge or what?
Yes.
>3. Does the music seem a bit underwhelming to anyone else...?
No. Refer to
>>7233353

>>7234311

It only came out yesterday I believe, not too late. Youmu can focus while charging, unless you mean shoot normally while in focused mode, which she can't, she needs to charge her slashes. Music is okay, stage 1 theme, boss theme and stage 2 theme are pretty nice but the rest are underwhelming to me.

>>7234062
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_g8DwglPAA

also scoring in this game is really weird right now... I liked the aggressive scoring but this is just ridiculous that I practically ignore half of the cards and get my highest score: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=za50QoIyEA8

>>7234320

Focus without charging, sorry. But still, no shooting. She's a high risk, high reward character from what I've been playing of her.

I actually fare much better with Youmu than with Reimu. There must be something wrong with me.

>>7234340

Maybe you're used to going crazy and smashing enemies nearby. I still want to use Youmu though. I made a promise to 1cc this game with Youmu on Normal, Hard, Lunatic and the Extra. She's also pretty fun, but I keep running into stuff with her.

Stage 1 Theme sound kinda familiar, is it a remix of a song ZUN made for his CDs like Magical Astronomy?

>>7234116
Nope.Sanae is also cool. Even if she doesn't look like Sanae.

>>7234098
Indeed, except for some... oddities, they are quite good.

>According to the announcement, he also kept difficulty down this time and made the game mechanics simpler, in order to suit a wider audience.
FUCKING CASUALS

>>7234511
Jesus fuck, it's still hard as shit.

>>7234511
Just wait until he impliments a cover system.

Anybody mind telling me each playable character's abiliies? Isn't this game like SA in the sense each shot type got its own special ability like superfast movement, auto collect or being able to jump across borders?

Well, I played it a bit more and I think it would be better if the spirits once spawned, started to come down by themselves, while at the same time they get tinier and tinier (so they give less points/fill the trance bar less), because the current mechanic forces you to always try to "hug the top"... lol.

>>7234511
CAAAASSSUUUUAAAALLLLSSSSSSSSSOOOOCKSSSSS

>>7234517
At this point, I think this might be the easiest Touhou game. It's really not that hard.

>>7234548
I 1CC'd this on Lunatic today and on this difficulty it is harder than for example EoSD bosses 1-3 on Lunatic

>>7234557
agreed
but on normal difficulty it is one of the easiest Touhou games

>>7234573
The question is why are you playing on Normal, or writing like it's of any consequence?

Shot types so far actually seem balanced for the most part. Youmu might have difficulties on Lunatic though.

Bedhead Youmu is moe.

How in the hell do you capture Miyako's first spellcard with Youmu? I can't slash because she heals like crazy, but I get overwhelmed if I don't slash her.

>>7234663
Don't slash, evading the bullets is easy.

>>7234696

I'm having troubles with it. She floods me with bullets and either I inevitably have to shoot one of those things not to die or I just die to it anyways. The only character I've captured that card with was Sanae, and with only 1 second left on the clock.

>>7234663
Shoot from the middle until the bullets coming from the sides reach you, misdirect them to the side without shooting until the middle is clear, repeat.

>>7234663
I wonder if it's even possible to capture that spell on hard/lunatic with any of the characters.

>>7234580
What, normal is the new easy now? A couple games ago, it was the new hard.

>>7234721
It specifically became like that for this reason.

>>7234721

We'll have to wait and see. So far, it feels like it, but he might pull off some bullshit with stages 4-6.

the scoring system fucking sucks... you get more score bombing and dying than capturing the spell cards.

Oh wow I found a fun Glitch, excuse me if this is known.

It seems the same Glitch that locks bombs and text skipping makes replays playable.
Bombs worked fine in there, I could skip Kogasa's text but not Yoshika's for some reason, they can still be sped up with Ctrl. Yoshika also compleatly skipped over her first non-card for some reason.

You think its too easy? Try playing it in Super Speed.

>>7234751

This has been true since SA, dogg

Any arranges yet?
Remember how fast the moon people did an arrange of Nazrin theme when UFO demo was released?

>>7234819
yeah but UFO had good music

>>7234826
I bet you had better speakers back then too.

>>7234834
doesn't have anything to do with it
the music in 13 so far is pretty mediocre

>>7234826

It had good stage 1 music, but stages 2 and 3 weren't so great. I'm hoping for some arranges of Night Sakura of Dead Spirits soon, it's pretty good.

>>7234826
pretty much this, let's be honest guys: the music in this game is subpar compared to the rest. i remember hearing the music in the ufo demo when it came out and was satisfied, but this music leaves a sour taste in my mouth. it just feels generic and repetitive as hell.

I love most of the stage music and the intro is great.The boss music not so much.
And the mixed versions are even better.

So you only get what, 2 extra lives by the end of stage 3? makes me miss PCB.

>>7234904
More if you score well.

lol everyone said the same shit about UFO's music

a lot of ZUN music seems bland and aimless until you hear it a lot

>>7234915
Have you ever played it? Getting extra lives has nothing to do with scoring.

>>7234915
How's that?

>>7234915
Score?

>>7234925

Shut up newfag. Look in the /jp/ archives and you'll see that, although people weren't calling UFO's music a masterpiece, there wasn't NEARLY as much negative criticism about UFO's music as TD is currently getting.

>>7234935
In the demo? Good job jumping straight to "newfag" to defend your bad memory.

I hate to frustrate you all, but the first 8 or so seconds of the Stage 1 theme is a remix/reference to the song Alice in Wonderland from Touhou 5. They have the same key progression and variance of tones.

>>7234935
We use the term newfriend around these parts, newfriend.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iAki-YciNc
When I listen to this I imagine ZUN playing the drums with his hands.

>>7234940

>1302999990996.png

Two more 9s and you would have become the ultimate baka

Hahahaha scoring is awesome, in normal mode with no misses, capturing all spell cards and getting almost all objects my score is: 1.7m-1.9m

Playing with one hand, using all bombs and lossing all lives without capturing any spell card my score is higher than 3m

(first stage)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeByvhiggBw

How anybody tries to call this "bland" and "uninspired" is beyond me. Shut up.

>>7234949

What are you talking about? That shouldn't even be possible, I got 7m on the first stage playing normally without bomb/trance abuse.

>>7234954
it's only ok when both themes are mixed, otherwise it's just mediocre

>>7234949

I managed to get around 11M by collecting every power-up at the earliest possible moment

>>7234935
The only difference was UFO had Nazrin's theme which most people liked. Otherwise it's the same shit as ever. It's not immediately appealing so it's bad. Wait a few months.

>>7234966
pretty much this, i don't know why zun even split the themes up...

>>7234973

What the hell are you talking about? People loved Nazrin's theme, found Kogasa's theme to be KoG-inducing, and found Brofist's theme to be full of gar.

ZUN is going to have to make some SERIOUS improvements on the final 3-4 levels that get released in order to make it a passable game, otherwise, it's just plain sad.

>>7234965
i forgot to say that that's before the first boss, my apologies.

>>7234940
That's a nice find, guess it explains why I enjoyed the stage 1 theme so much.

Let's have a scoring competition, /jp/. upload a screenshot with your best score. (on normal).

>>7234940

I thought you were trolling.

You weren't.

You know what the third boss music reminds me of?

This: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2JybPySVDA

You cannot deny it.

>>7235032
that better not be michael jackson's thriller...

>>7235032

Same instruments =/= Same song

>>7235032
Sorry, not hearing it. What parts sound similar?

>>7235004
I got 60 something mil and then realized that to get a higher score I needed to bomb the bosses MORE, so I stopped trying.

I got 36 mil on Normal iirc, I am a good player yet /jp/?

I don't know what you guys are talking about, the music is pretty good. It's definitely different though, it has a much more calmer feel to it

>>7235072
I don't think you can classify clearing stages 1-3 of any touhou game as being good

>>7235004

I'd rather not. Best I can get is 43 mil with Youmu, a bit higher with Reimu but still nothing that good. I'll try practicing on Hard/Lunatic sometime so I can use Youmu well enough when the full game comes out though.

What do you guys think of Youmu?

Agility-Aya bullshit or a new refreshing way of playing?

>>7235133

Female Trunks

>>7235133

High risk high reward score character. She's pretty good, but seems extremely difficult to utilize well, especially in higher difficulties. Gotta be extremely careful you don't run into anything, she's pretty fun I'd say.

>>7235133
I like her. I was always fond of characters that played differently from the norm.

I was wondering how everybody felt about how the characters basically have their different shots put together instead of being separate.

59mil, but not a 1cc. Died with 2 spellcards left..

>>7235165
I really don't like that. I want my ReimuB back, the non-focused homing attack sucks.

>>7235191
Press shift, there.

>>7235201
And if I want speed I have to shoot shitty homing attacks

Why did ZUN make everyone so loli and so moe this time around?

99m with Marisa. So close.

>>7235228

His art style changes each game. I don't even know why, it's so strange. I'd also say they look thinner for the most part. Although for the most part I don't really care for this style, Ten Desires Yuyuko is extremely cute, I don't know what it is but I enjoy seeing her.

So far, my fav is Sanae. I hate the fact that you can't deathbomb, and that shitty trance, oh, I hate it so much.

117m with Sanae, this slut pays off

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_wYHWR74zg&feature=related

This one is still the better one
>>7235228
UFO was too GAR. Murasa's fault.

I'm definitely ok with a moe-filled game if it means more Kogasa and Kyouko.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_wYHWR74zg&feature=related

This one is still the best one
>>7235228
UFO was too GAR. Murasa's fault.

I'm definitely ok with a moe-filled game if it means more Kogasa and Kyouko.

>>7235258
I made 33M on normal. Damn it

>>7235251
This time the change is really huge. Just look at Sanae. Well, luckily it's not a bad thing at all, I would lmost say that his drawings are beautiful (if sometimes stranges, e.g. miyako) in this one.

>>7235297

The biggest change for me is that they look thinner, like they went on a diet or something. I wonder why that happened, but oh well, we may never find out.

>>7234751
completely agreed, I get 69mil points on a normal clear when I cap what was it, one spellcard?

an easy solution for that would be: every spellcard you capture adds 1 to the value that blue spirits give, ie +11 +12 +13 +14 +15 etc. even still that still might not overshadow boss grazing the whole card.
>>7234789
only really SA. And only really with reimu a. Try again.
>>7235004
69mil see video.

>>7235234
>>7235258
butthurt fag here, post a video, or at least a screenshot.

>>7235297
the drawing amazed me
i mean, i didn't think his art could get worse

>>7235297
Yeah, it seems a kinda like a letdown for me. I mean, look at the char design on SA and UFO. And the soundtrack is seriously lacking comparing it to UFO. Well, I like upbeat songs

So isn't Sanae the best since her bomb doesn't impeded movement and allows you to get a million spirits from bosses?

So does hard half more spirits and easy has less spirits than normal, or is lunatic the only difficulty with a different amount of spirits?

>come to /jp/ after a long break
>Ten Desires thread
>not sticky
Wtf /jp/ I used to think you were cool.

What the hell DO you sticky? GETs and epic XD combos?

>>7235327
You can move fast enough with Reimu as well. Whoever has the longest bomb would be the most beneficial.

>>7235359
nothing
/jp/ has no mods

>>7235359

>>7235359
Who cares if it's not a sticky? /jp/ is slow enough that you can find any thread without worry. All stickies do is created 2000 post threads that are a pain in the ass to load.

>>7235366
The truth deserves to be stickied.

>>7235366

I remember that. For about 40 minutes, KoG convinced moot to give us something we always wanted. Then buttmad Jones had to come in and say to change it to Otaku Culture.

;_;

bump

>>7235320
>an easy solution for that would be: every spellcard you capture adds 1 to the value that blue spirits give, ie +11 +12 +13 +14 +15 etc. even still that still might not overshadow boss grazing the whole card.

I think the only way is to stop bosses dropping spirits during a trance. You would still want to bomb noncards though...

Another thing that bothers me is that even during a trance, it's hard to cash in because enemies still "time out" and don't stop spirits after a second. If it made you get maximum spirits from everything all the time it would feel much more rewarding.

>>7235657
I think the reverse of your first idea would make more sense. trances shouldn't be popping up nearly as often as bombs. so being able to milk a trance once per bossfight should be fine.

That being said what if only nonspells were boss grazable? That should hopefully solve the problem.

>>7235703
I think it's too late for that, a lot of spellcards seem set up to be boss grazed, and it's fun trying to do on the harder ones.

Even with fewer trances, you'd still want to expend them on the boss instead of the stage. I am sure later stages will have more valuable scoring points, but there's literally one in the whole demo that's worth doing. And to get it you often have to bomb the hell out of Kogasa. Feels bad.

The mods really do fail... They do not delete threads that should be deleted and they don't sticky this thread. The 10th one? Come on, mods.

The mods really do fail... They do not delete threads that should be deleted and they don't sticky this thread. The 10th one? Come on, mods.

>>7235736
I think that using trance in stages and bombs in boss fights may be more rewarding score-wise.

>>7234315
>3. it does, but it's fixed when the trance and normal music is mixed together
>http://www.mediafire.com/?xc7qvxh542rhhgw
Excuse me how do I use these? What folder do I put these in? I never knew you could change musics in Touhous.

Wait. What is a trance?

>>7235746

/jp/ is a slow board. You don't need stickies.

>>7235746
>The 10th one?
The thread #10 thing was a joke.

>>7235781
nevermind I looked it up.

So I 1cc'd the demo on normal on my first go.

Am I a wizard?

Its either that or Youmu is really OP.

>>7235800
No. It is easier than Mystic Square.

>>7235751
I don't know. The rate that you get spirits during a boss is really hard to beat. The enemy rushes don't last long, and often have pauses, so you end up with several seconds of the trance wasted.

There are many ways to fix the system though.

>>7235800
Youmu is the weakest one.

>>7235800
>30M

no

>>7235004
>upload a screenshot with your best score. (on normal).

Hard is more exciting with the extra spirits though (so I don't have to dodge fucking anything).

Some interesting Easy and Lunatic runs over at http://replay.royalflare.net/

>>7235800
>Youmu is really OP.
Nah. Reimu has got to be the strongest. It's insane. I think Sanae might drain health faster but Reimu also has the unfocused homing.

I can't play Marisa, because I keep crashing into everything and dying to bullets I can't see.

>>7235820
Lotus Land Story was the easiest though.

>>7235880
I can't agree with that, Marisa is too hard.

>>7235987
But Reimu is harder.

>>7235870
>dying to bullets I can't see
Holy crap this is so very irritating.
I sure do love having a huge radius around my target hide all bullets within it.

Still room for improvement in stage 3 and stage 2 boss fights.
Anyway to boss graze during Kyoko's cards where the bullets disappear and come back towards the middle?

>>7236002
I keep doing that with Sanae since her shot has a lot of flashing lights and shit so it's impossible to see the bullets when you're right up to the boss.

Can you activate trance during a bomb?

Managed to up my score to 47m. Would have done better if I wasn't careless and died twice to Yoshika. Oh Youmu, why must your playstyle be so crazy?

>>7236365

Not that I know of.

>cyan kunai

Has anyone here actually played Easy? For the most part it's agreed Normal is pretty easy, but that makes me wonder how much easier Easy mode is.

I still can't 1CC this on Normal. I've gotten to Stage 3 twice...;_;

I seem to play well as Marisa or Youmu, i'm terribad with Reimu/Sanae.

>>7236048
Marisa is ridiculous.
I am expected to believe that there are bullets and an enemy somewhere in this mess.
Now apply that to trying to boss-graze.

>>7236489
I can do stage 1 of easy with my eyes closed, and only relying on sound. If I put more effort in it, could do it with Youmu too.

Warning: hard mode and above, zombieslut has even curvier lasers.

>>7236534

That's it? Curvy lasers are nothing to me. If she had curvy bullets that came from below me in a diagonal path, I'd be scared.

>>7236489
It's retardedly easy

Like you can stay unfocused the entire game easy

Like you can practically stay above the Item Get line the majority of the game easy.

Gah, I just had a nasty encounter with the master spark not doing any damage glitch. It appears to happen when you activate it between spellcards.

>>7236522
>>7236599

Sounds like it'll be great for someone I know then. He can't even beat EoSD Easy so he might be able to pull this off actually.

I really hate how long it takes to build up power in TH11 and beyond. This game continues this annoying trend.

>>7236638
Maybe it's there to discourage you from killing yourself to get more bombs.

>>7236638
I'm inclined to agree.

>>7236652
It more just discourages me from playing.
SA and beyond are just so much less relaxing and enjoyable to me compared to the earlier games in the series.

Feels bad man.

>>7236671
Go play something with power ups, like crimzon clover, helllsinker,, or diadra empty.

>>7236638
>I really hate how long it takes to build up power in TH11 and beyond.
>TH11
What. SA showers you with power almost as much as MoF does.

>>7236725
Or... just keep playing PCB and IN and EoSD and MoF.

Ugh, I hate not being able to death-bomb freely. Really hate the divine spirit mechanic in general.

I only forgive ZUN because of how wonderfully flat chested he drew all the touhous in this game <3

>>7236534
I didn't even notice that she had curving lasers until like the 10th playthrough because I was always shotgunning for spirits and dodged the lasers before they even started curving. You're supposed to do that spell that way anyway, since not collecting the spirits allows her to heal herself.

>>7236725
*without
I'm a derp

I feel like Reimu and Youmu got all the good faces in this. Marisa and Sanae seem phoned in compared to last time.

Although Sanae still makes That Face.

>>7236772
It is sort of a fun card when you get the hang of it, swinging around the boss like that.

>>7236927
I keep cutting it too close and hitting her.
Irritating...

>>7236521
ZUN is definitely on maximum troll mode with this game.

>>7236954

I think he figures maybe if he nerfs Marisa then more people will try playing Sanae and Youmu. Basically he's jumping up and down going "look how cool Youmu is in this game! LOOK!"

>>7237006
Yeah, he seems to have put a lot more work into Youmu than all the other girls combined.

>>7237006
But...Youmu's not that cool.

>>7237025
Whaaaat? Yes she is.

>>7237034
I would have prefered Youmu's shot from IN instead of these snake options. Her unfocused range is pitiful and weak, and it doesn't help that you score more points when unfocused.

Trace is a shitty option formation that nobody likes.

I didn't think it was possible to hate Youmu anymore then I already did yet it happened.

>>7237068
Explain.

>>7237006
But I don't want Youmu, I just want a straight Marisa shot that is both powerful and beautiful.

>>7237073
She's completely boring, generic, and her shot doesn't feel right for Touhou.

>>7237079
Dang, all tastes. Can't argue with that.

ZUN should have swapped Marisa's shots for focused and unfocused. The lasers should be her focused shot since they're skinny and tend to miss in their current arrangement. And then the missiles should be a wider shot with a bigger burst area like Sanae's frog shot in UFO.

>>7237113
Marisa's unfocused shot is good for sweeping across the screen, and they're useless up close to a boss where 2 or 3 of them end up missing. I haven't had a problem with her, except for molasses spark.

Anyone have problem with saving or playing replay?

>>7237075

What I'd really like is multiple shot options for each char, instead of having to go with a new character for a new shot. Two options for each would have been fine, it wouldn't be a big stretch considering he can just copypasta Reimu/marisa needle and bullshit the other two, and everyone would be happy. However if he did that then everyone would still keep only seriously playing as Reimu or Marisa though.. I guess that's why he did what he did.

>>7237130
here are the known bugs from touhou wiki:
When having Youmu Konpaku selected in the Player Select menu, going back to the Difficulty Select screen and to the Player Select again, Sanae Kochiya is selected.
Replays may crash the game at Stage 3.
There appears to be a bug where at some point during the game, a character's bomb cannot be activated and dialog cannot be skipped. Once this occurs on one character (possibly Sanae being the first to trigger this) the rest of the characters have the same issue. This can be solved by exiting the game and reopening it.
Players have reported the game crashing at the very end of Yoshika Miyako's third Spellcard, the likely explanation being that she tries to absorb a spirit to replenish health when she has no health left at the time. This can be worked around by making sure you end the card in between its spirit collecting phases.

>>7237159
My replays fail in all Stages right after I fast-forward (ctrl).

Also, the 154m Easy mode Youmu replay just blew my mind.

>>7237153
Yeah. It's easier to balance 4 than 8. I'm not saying they are balanced, since this is still ZUN, but it seems better than usual.

>>7237196
People have reached 200m now. I don't even want to look.

>>7237205
Watching the 252m Marisa Hard mode run. Why do I even bother capturing spellcards anymore when perfecting the stage without excessive milking nets me at most 40+m on Normal?

>>7237199
Hellsinker has 7 balanced characters.

>>7237196
What? Easy modo = 154M? Are you serious?
Link please

So is it actually best (in terms of score) to bomb and trance your way bosses? If so, that seems kinda silly.

>>7237251
http://replay.royalflare.net/replay/thx_udm492.rpy
Should be this one.

>>7237205
Link?

Playing TD made me realize how much better I have gotten in general. After playing and dicking around with it a bit, I went back to PCB and found it much easier to clear.

>>7237270
Well that's almost 3x my best score.
On easy mode.
By bombing and trancing all the boss' attacks.
ZUUUUUUUUUUUN

sorry about my stupid question
but how I can watch the replays at TH13?

>>7237389
It's kinda a pain in the ass.
C:\Users\*yournamehere*\AppData\Roaming\ShanghaiAlice\th13tr\replay
is where they're kept for me.
Also I couldn't get the "user" naming function to work so just name it th13_##.rpy where ## is a number 1-20.

it's me or the game is slow compared to the other games ? the danmaku, the music, the characters,
everything is slow, well that's not a bad thing since i'm slow myself

>>7237395
thank you

>>7237372
Funny. It's made me realize how bad I am at it.

>>7237406
Then I guess it depends on how long have you been playing in general.

>>7237432
Sometimes I get the feeling that I'm getting worse.
You know (or maybe you don't) those times when you keep dying to the stupidest shit on the first two stages?
Yeah.

The Spirit Trance System = Dodonpachi Daioujou's Hypers.

>>7237449
>(or maybe you don't)

DOHOHOHOHOHO, you have no idea. Been through that for months, yeah MONTHS and, in true EoSD fashion, I quit and started from the menu screen on each fuckup like a moron. It's that time when you realize you have to get off your computer for an hour, go drink some water, do some exercise and then go back to the game. Trust me, it works.

>>7237490
> I quit and started from the menu screen on each fuckup like a moron
So... I shouldn't be doing that?

>>7237508
Wow, didn't realize that was a transparent background.
Hurr.

I've probably had more deaths by fairies and yuyukos shoes than by bullets

>>7237270
>Ten desires scoring

>>7237508
Only if you feel like you have to discipline yourself. Otherwise, just brush the death off and see how far you can get in one continue.

>>7237521
>deaths by fairies
Ooh! Ooh! Is it the fairy chains on stage 2?

So the 154m youmu replay just desynchronized or something for me. I thought she was moving strangely and then she died.

Didn't fast forward or anything.

>>7237521
The first foot fetish scoring system ever

>>7237548
Same thing happened to me.
I thought they randomly decided to suicide...

>>7237551
I just tried watching it on various stages a Number of times now. It's kind of interesting how it seems to lose track or something.

>>7237079
Boring, generic? Youmu on Touhou 8 was the weird shot and she's once again the weird shot that takes a lot of practice to get used to, her charged shot is damn powerful but you have to get very close to a boss to release it and when moving around a patter that's really damn fucking difficult.

The art, however, is righteous. ZUN really polished his drawing skills since UFO and Yuyuko's sprite is fucking beautiful.

>>7237048
Fuck you, Youmu's counter-movement option from IN was absolutely fucking impossible to get used to and clearing the game with her was literally another level of difficulty. Her new option makes much more fucking sense.

>play Youmu
>slash fairies left and right
>decapitated limbs flying everywhere blood splashing all over the screen
>suddenly Yuyuko
>GET CUT GET CUT AND DIE

Youmu's slashing makes this the most intense game ever.

>>7237581
Who are you quoting?

>>7237569
>you have to get very close to a boss to release it
At full power it almost travels from the bottom of the screen to the top.

>>7237508
don't mind me

>stage 1
>play as youmu
>see my best friend
>ILL TRY AND KILL HER

I love the logic in touhou.

>>7237614

Actually if you read the scripts it's the other way round.

Yuyuko: "...if you say you're going to leave,
you'll have to defeat me first!"
Youmu: "How irrational..."

>>7237619
Yeah, from the scripts, it's obvious that Yuyuko knows at least something about what's going on. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see her turn up again somewhere in the full game.

>>7237604
Yeah, I went and fixed it.
Saving that though.

Sanae looks so cute in this game, that wavy hair really suits her. Her shot type is pretty nice too.

>>7237649
He finally stopped drawing her hair like a green plastic monster. I'm thrilled.

>>7237649
Sanae is missing half an eye
zombie

sanaes left and right flying animation makes me laugh, it's the only reason I play as her.

>>7237660
And Reimu has only 4 fingers !!!!
HOLY CHEETOS ZUN CAN'T DRAW !!!!

>>7237649
More like a slut.

No frills, no bows, pig disgusting boots

>>7237674

>>7237680
Sex hair, sex boots, sex bullets.

>>7237680
Well, since Reimu is so pure it's obvious there needs to be someone to balance it out.

Prediction time:
Yuyuko dwells in the netherworld, like Youmu
Kyouko wields a broom, like Marisa
Yoshika is an undead zombie, like Reimu
Stage 4 boss will be a god, like Sanae

>>7237735
Hmm, you might be on to something there.
Still, I don't think a god would be dwelling around in the netherworld so maybe a demon god or someone who thinks she's a god?

>>7237756

don't be silly, sanae is the only god with green hair and blue clothes.

>>7237761
Eh? What do you mean by that?

>>7237756
>someone who thinks she's a god?

It'll be a ghost magician with green hair, but not Mima.

>>7237675
She's a war veteran.

>>7237675
but what about marisa's claw

>>7237735
She lost her divinity when she came to Gensokyo due to the inhabitants' nature compared to outside world's humans, remember?

>>7237797
Of which war?

>>7237794

>>7237819
She only lost her special status, after moving to a land where everyone is magical. She's still the same.

>>7237814
It's not just a claw, it's a bionic arm.

Where the heck does this game stick its replay and score files?

TH13: Reimu performs thousands of abortions on unwilling mothers

>>7237920
More like Reimu ravishes corpses as a food source due to her now-invincible stomach.

>>7237920
All in a day's work.

>>7237270
The replay keeps desyncing half way through each boss, but from what I can see, it looks like the best scoring strategy is to basically spam bombs and trance to to graze whore the bosses.

Wow, it's like ZUN actually tried to come up with a worse scoring mechanic than UFO

>>7237920
Bitches didn't donate, they deserved it.

>>7237948

trying to get no points at all on lunatic is pretty fun
you get some from non-spell time outs, though.

So this is the demo still right? And it introduced 2 new ZOMBIE characters? Touhou just got better with it's Michael Jackson side.

>>7237981
it also turned sanae into a zombie

>>7237983
Holy shit DL right now.

>>7237983
But Reimu is an undead zombie so yeah.

>>7237976
>low score runs

why.jpg

>>7237988
So what? A curse that turned everyone into zombies or what?

>>7237992
What if it also turned mima into a zombie?

>>7237992
Well the only one who didn't become a ghoul would be Marisa, except she now has a claw for an arm so she could be a frankenstein witch creature for all we know.

>>7238001
What.the.hell? Zun really made some weird changes to the game.

>>7237270
How do you play this without it desyncing? Does ZUN even bother testing this shit anymore?

>>7238011
Wait until you see the new FPS stage.

>>7238012
why would he?
he has shitloads of fans who'll test it for him

>>7238013
Bullshit. Your trolling.

Seen on royalflare that curent highest score is Youmu with 288,192,930
Fuck! She's OP indeed, just like in IN

Miyako sure is a lot harder on hard compared to normal That self heal keeps me from defeating her, the time just keeps running out and I can't get close enough to collect the spirits.

Looks like I'll have to try harder.

New thread >>7238092

could anyone tell me how the gameplay mechanics work? what the fuck is happening when i die? are those ghost things just extra points?
