I once 1cc'd LLS on Normal, but then found out the game is one of the easiest out there. Well, shit, who cares.

I need to work on the PC98 games more often. I hardly play them at all, and when I do it's normally Mystic Square.

I'm still working my way up to LLS. My next target is the hell route on Lunatic, because my autism compels me to ensure I beat it 100%. Then I'm gunna get started on SoEW if I can ever fucking get rid of the weird framerate issues I have when I run it that crop up for NO REASON AT ALL

Anyway, good job Anon. Even if it's considered easy, it's still just another step in your journey to mastering danmaku!

For me, the biggest reason for playing the PC98 games is appreciating how ZUN's style of game design changed as the years went by. A while ago, I 1CC'd HRtP on Hard, and at the time I thought "man, that was really fun. Why didn't ZUN make more of these arkanoid meets danmaku style games?" But then I played Lunatic. Lunatic in HRtP, for those unaware, makes it so bullets shoot out of the blocks you hit with your ying-yang orb. Every time you hit a block, a bullet shoots out at you, on top of any turrets that may be in the stage. It gets to be so difficult that some stages are actually more dangerous than bosses, just because if you don't control your ball and movements correctly, you can easily get an inescapable wall of bullets coming at you

But what I learned from playing Lunatic is that ZUN saw just how much more fun the game was on Lunatic. He saw how enthralling it was to be trying to avoid these streams of bullets coming at you. And so, all the rest of the games were straight up danmaku games

Or.. at least that's what I think, anyway. All I know for sure is playing HRtP on Lunatic was some of the most fun I've had in a while

Do you use Anex86? Don't use Anex86. Use T-98 Next. It's much better.


Also be sure to use the translation patch for SoEW! Woo.

Oh yeah, I use T98-Next. Tried Anex and that pile of shit can eat a trillion dicks. I also have the translation. The framerate issues I refer to don't even make any sense. Like, "get a fresh copy of SoEW, framerate issues are non-existent for like one day, next day my game gets choppy at the flower tank midboss in stage 1 with all the same settings" type weird shit

I'd assume it was just my computer's fault if I hadn't had a couple times where I had *no* problems with framerate. So I just figured I'd work on 1CCing HRtP on Lunatic so I can put off having to fix whatever the stupid issue is for a while longer ._.

Yesss

While we're on the subject of PC98 music, if you guys haven't done so already, you should really listen to these piano instrumental remixes of the PC98 music

There's 5 volumes in total, most of them have two parts. They should all be linked in related videos, but if not, just search youtube for touhou PC98 pianoforte and you should get all the videos. They're all very beautiful

I guess so. I need to play them more often. Still need to beat Mystic Square and Lotus Land Story. HRtP is too tough for me, I hear it has 30 levels and I can only get to around 7-10 until I'm dead.

i can't beat mystic square for some reason.oh well, i'm going to try it again.

HRtP mostly requires good management of your lives and bombs. You get a life every 40k points you gain, but point whoring is pretty easy, especially on non-Lunatic. You just have to keep the ball from hitting the ground, and you can gain a life for almost every stage you play

It just takes practice, like anything else

>>7398446

Good luck, Anon~

>>7398493

I kind of get it. I'm still pretty shit at it though. I may die at least once on each stage. I also don't know how bombs work. I know the slide, the stick strike or whatever, and that rapid fire amulet but that's about it.

>>7398493

>>7398506

You press both buttons at the same time to use a bomb. There are many other useful moves you can do, as well

I see. I might give it another go once I give the other games another go. That reminds me that I barely played PoDD either. My least played game.

>>7398549

Also, I forgot to say: you are by law required to whisper "Heaven or Hell, let's rock" every time you beat the stage 5 boss and are about to select your route

Well, one more bump and I think I'll bid this thread adieu. Good luck in your PC98 games, /jp/

which of you assholes said Mugetsu/Gengetsu are easy extra bosses?
