Try holding shift down all the time during all boss battles, even if you have to move quicker. Might be good practice.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3GfjBF-pMQ

OP, are you me? Fucking Remilia, I can't even beat her on hard, everything else is beatable on a good day, but fucking Remi.

gotta be a jew with your resources.

Moments that are difficult: endure, rather retry and train more and try to make it
Moments that are bullshit: bomb

try to at least improve and perfect on the first 3 stages. I would conserve all bombs for Meiling so that you can arrive in stage 4 with 6 lives

Consider yourself good, I can't beat any Touhou game on easy past the 3rd boss.

>>7994278
it doesn't matter how good you compare to others if you aren't satisified with your own performance

>>7994256
I know how you feel. You try and do everything as best as you can, and when you mess up at that one spot, you already know your run is trashed.

>>7994199
Op, I wrote you something: http://pastebin.com/c1PJP0Y1

I decided to keep it on pastebin, so that I wouldn't dirty up the board. I'm not an expert on EoSD, but I hope that you can take something from it.

We are on the same page, and I know how you feel: http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=16382
Just keep practicing.

Yay, I just cleared SA on lunatic without continues for my first time. Took me about a week of practice from scratch.

>>7994325
This is great advice. Thank you so much.

>>7994335
>from scratch
What exactly do you mean by this.

OP here. I'm trying some stage 4 practice runs. How are you suppose to get past the green bull before the mid boss?

>>7994422
by praying to Jesus.

Watched the replay. In addition to what >>7994325 said, two parts really stuck out to me.
-Work on Jack the Ludo Bile, its an easy capture.
-On Sakuya's opener in stage 6, don't stick down at the bottom of the screen. Stay higher up so the red bullets don't trap you.
In terms of resources, you're probably going to need ~3 lives going into the last stage, mainly because of the last spellcard. Good luck.

Stage 1: Before you do anything else, practice it for a bit on Lunatic to get used to your hitbox. Stream bullets, take out Rumia.
Stage 2: Use a bomb in the beginning to get rid of the enemies and pick up all the items on the screen. Try to get MAX power as early as possible. Stream more, beat Cirno.
Stage 3: This is where you stop being a showoff shithead and start abusing the Shift key. Bomb Meiling's midboss card if you aren't 101% sure you can capture it. Same for her last card. You shouldn't have lost a single life by now.
Stage 4: Place your character in the mid-left section of the screen and get ready to shoot the three fairies before they leave their magic circles behind. Stream the bullets with very slight movements. Again, if you aren't 101% sure you can dodge the green bullets, bomb. Koa is a joke. Wait a whole second before you start shooting the fairies that clear bullets when they die. Patchu's cards are all about distractions. Focus on one type of projectile and try dodging the other unconsciously. This applies to cards like Sylphae Horn, Agni Radiance, Water Elf, Emerald Megalith, etc. You should be ready to bomb before you get in trouble; if you think it MIGHT hit you, chances are it will, bomb.

>>7994439
Stage 5: Stream. stay still when the big directed arrays of bullets are shot, otherwise, focus on the small, random ones. Try to take everything out before they shoot too many bullets. In Sakuya's midcard stay still in the bottom-left-ish area and move only to dodge something that's directed at you. Stay in the same position and dodge the bullshit afterwards. Sakuya will force you to heavily dodge, it's up to your reflexes now. Her cards all have "safe" spots. When she starts redirecting bullets during timestop, she essentially thins out her own clusters, so they should be easier to dodge. Again, when in doubt, bomb.
Stage 6: I'll let you have the joy of figuring that one out yourself; besides, if you get this far, you unlock the stage in Practice Mode. Starting the stage with two lives should be more than enough. Never lose a life with unused bombs.

>>7994426
I lol'd...

Just wondering, is having the reflex to deathbomb something you eventually acquire? Every single one of my deaths is unanticipated.

>>7994481
there is only about 0.1 second. You have to know that you're boned beforehand.

If you can react in time after getting hit, you are chosen.

>>7994512
Imperishable night is really easy, but it might not be the best choice for beginners

Not OP, but I was wondering which of the games would be the easiest for beginners? I've played Ten Desires and UFO before, although I'm not particularly good or play often. I'd like to seriously try beating a game on lunatic though.

>>7994512

PCB should be one of the easiest, but in all honesty I suggest that a beginner play all of the games and find the one they enjoy the most while playing the other ones on the side when they want to try something else.

>>7994353
From scratch I mean I have never played it before.

>>7994514
>>7994516
Alright, thanks. I'll give both of them a shot and keep a look out for other ones I'd be interested in trying.

bump

>>7994537
To be exact it took me four days and roughly 13 hours to 1CC Lunatic. I haven't even finished the game on Easy mode, just went straight for the hardest difficulty. Anyone know how long UFO would take me approximately?

bumo

>>7995168
I hope all naturally talented people die.

>>7997038
The guy has no-bombed EoSD before and has been sighted on the uploader for more than a year.

>>7995168
So where's your replay.

>>7997176
http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=16396
It's quite a terrible run, ran out of lives already at stage 2.

>>7997150
And? I didn't say I have never played Touhou before.

Hmm... I realized I've never tried to 1cc a TH on lunatic, I always played the stages I liked.

I'll try when I get my laptop back.

bump for touhou general

Since apparently Touhou Gameplay general... I finally completed my first no-deaths run.

I was just supposed to be unlocking individual touhous access, but I was happy with the results. I'll be damned if I can clear Normal mode without bumping up the lives setting though.

Does anybody actually prefer using Youmu in TD?

Blah blah, I'm bad and all that, but I can't get the hang of her focus fire.

>>7999492
I no-death cleared IN on hard when I was unlocking the last word which required to clear the game with solo Reimu on hard. It was kind of funny.

Cleared Phantasm about two or three days ago, felt pretty good. Ignore the stats on anything other than phantasm in the screencap, It's unreliable.

>>7999512
with youmu, you have to time the charge on the focus attack and line up the options for bosses. shes actually pretty fun if you take the time to get used to her

>>7999492
You could probably do IN normal if you practiced since you can do a no-death easy. Give it a shot, you might get farther than you expected.

>>7999512

>her focus fire

implying Youmou fires when focusing

>>8000725
Have you tried releasing the fire button?

I'd imagine this type of thing is asked plenty, so I'll use this thread to keep it low-key since it's relevant.

Started touhou and shooters in general a few weeks ago and have been playing on and off.
Just recently completed my first Normal 1CC of PCB. (Sakuya A lol) [Discovered the vpatch later that day; fantastic timing.]

From there I've been playing a little of everything alongside Extra(SA mostly.)
What is generally considered the best path to take, gradually increase difficulty on familiar games, work on a 1CC of everything, or play nonstop on lunatic until I stop sucking?

I'm certain OP isn't here anymore, but I'll post this just in case he checks back tomorrow or something.

Rejoice.

When you finally clear EoSD, it'll be one of the most fulfilling things you've done. Just you, your effort, and the resulting success. Rejoice feeling the purity of satisfaction.

If you absolutely cannot do it... then you've pushed yourself to the very outer limits of your ability. Do you know how rare that is? A lot of people give some halfassed try for a week or two and quit when it gets hard. Rejoice knowing that you pushed yourself harder than almost anybody you know.

>>7994199
I wrote a long - about three posts long - commentary and advice on your last replay when you posted it and asked for advice.

Did ya miss it? I'll dig it up from some archives & post it to pastebin, if you wish to.

>>8001122
play and try to clear StB and DS.

The drawback is that there is a chance you will find other touhous games boring in the end.

>>8001202
Please do.

>>8001202
Please do.

Also, any help on SA Extra? I just can't do the attacks with hearts on it, and the last spellcard just rapes me every time.

>>8001274

The cards you mentioned are all very patterned, aside from "Embers of Love", that is a bit less patterned as the pattern varies due to your own movements. Given that fact, it's totally possible to pass this card by planning a path beforehand.

Koishi isn't a too hard extra, she's pretty much all about learning the patterns. So pay her a few practice runs, watch some replays, and boom, you've made it before you can say "Freud".

>>8001443
I bet most Americans can't say Freud properly

False, they go out of their way to learn pointless shit like that to make themselves seem more intelligent.

Congrats OP! I hope we helped. Congrats on Scarlet Gensokyo.

A little technical tip I'll share for anyone using Xpadder to play with a stick or pad. (Not using DirectInput.)
For the love of god, hit the little wrench icon to the right of the profile name and set the 'key tap time' as low as it goes.

By default, Xpadder has a 100ms (which is actually quite a bit in terms of control) minimum keypress duration. This means very fine movement is made much more difficult.

I've found this mentioned nowhere on the internet in conjunction with touhou, which is surprising.

Since I made the change, everything feels much more responsive. Of course, this might be some sort of placebo effect, so I encourage others to try it out and see if it helps.

>>8004650
Oh, congratulations. Must have felt great.

Oh man. 185 goes in the spell card practice arena and Keine's #36 Spiritual Birth "First Pyramid" is finally mine.

I am terrible at these games.

>>8000694
still practicing. Cleared with continues, so that's a start, I guess.

This is the 17th time I have gotten to Byakuren and failed. This stage 6 was hopeless to begin with, I should have cashed in on the score and tried to beat my hiscore.

I'm going to have to readjust my plan. I have a few things to blame this failure on, but I'm going to start from scratch. I'm a little lost.

cleared most of the IN practice spellcards with solo Marisa on Normal. Missing Hourai Elixir and all of 6B. Progress!

Cleared UFO normal with 2 lives remaining and last spell card captured on first attempt. Have to rate this one as the hardest normal I've attempted so far. (MarisaA as always) http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=16451

>>8008805
If you're willing to practice it will come, if you're having trouble on something specific I'd more than happy to watch your replay.

>>8011410
What determines when the extra Last Word spellcard shows up? I just got surprised the fuck out of by Mystia doing it when she never did before. Luckily I captured it, but then I fucked up stage 3 and 4.

If I can get a replay where I make it past Reimu, I'll upload, but until then I doubt it will be worth your time to watch.

>>8011577
Last words appear by getting the goal amount of Time points or more. To get Time points you want to shoot enemies unfocused in human move or graze bullets in youkai mode (the bar is in the bottom left corner to let you know which mode you are in). You move the bar by doing the same thing that gets you time points as well. A small amount of time points will be given after a spell card on bosses too.

Don't worry about last words too much, I mean they are nice for grabbing some more points for maybe an extra life but after the first or second stage it is rather risky to attempt getting enough time points.

>>8011597
Managed to make it to Reisen's second last spellcard regardless: http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=16452

>Most of my problems stem from failure to bomb, and getting nervous at fuck-ups snowballing into losing concentration and creating more fuckups. If see other things I'm doing wrong, though...

I could probably improve a lot more in my mid-stage streaming, maybe? But grazing always makes me nervous as hell. I should probably also pick a team and stick to it, rather than getting frustrated and swapping around.

>>8011597
>after the first or second stage it is rather risky to attempt getting enough time points.

Not really... once you get the system down, and the bare minimum of stage memorization, it's really easy to get enough time points assuming you don't deathbomb like 10 times.

>>7994260
>Moments that are difficult
>Moments that are bullshit

Not the op but there is a fine line between the two.

>>8011788
For someone who is going for a survival run I would not recommend the stage 3 boss unfocused and he says here >>8011782 that he doesn't feel comfortable grazing so grazing for time points seems a moot point. Of course you are more experienced than me so I might be in the wrong but for a first time survival run it probably isn't worth it.

>>8011782
Let me give it a watch.

>>8011835
Nah, not even then. If you work the stages right (burst familiars for loads o' time and stay unfocused as much as possible) you don't really need to do much grazing at all during boss fights, just incidental stuff. Reisen might be an exception, but that's because she's got that one incredibly grazable noncard, you may as well do that one.

But yeah, I guess it's not that big of an issue. Time only matters if you're continuing or going route B and want to see all of Kaguya's last words.

I want to see a full run of SA phantasm with no deaths.

I want to see a full run of Subterranean Animism phantasm with no deaths.

>>8011848
Made a replay of my general approach to stages. Got all Last Words with no real time-farming from graze or anything risky.

The main things to keep in mind is that breaking groups of familiars by destroying the host (use the youkai for that, so you don't kill the familiars) and Spell Card bonuses are your main sources of Time. It's really really important not to get hit on Spell Cards, since it costs you both some time because of the death(bomb) as well as the bonus time. 'Course, if you're going for survival, you're trying to do that anyways, but oh well.

http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=16454

Don't watch Eirin, it's not good...

>>8011849
>>8011864
http://replays.gensokyo.org/index.php?u=&g=11&p=&t=0&d=5&c=1&ch=40
You mean extra right? If so take your pick here.

>>8011782
I've never done it with the border team but everyone else claims that they have the easiest shot type for IN so you might want to give them a try.

- I'd recommend getting used to holding down your shift button more often in many circumstances. You had a death bomb on Mystia and a death on Keine because of this especially with magic team's unfocused speed.

- On Keine I would recommend staying unfocused on her beginning noncard and her last noncard because if you kill off some of the familiars you are going to have a much easier time during the rest of the noncard when Keine is moving around.

Honestly I didn't see too much wrong with your replay but then again I'm not the best at IN nor know the most tricks, someone else might help you out better here. I'd like to compliment you on your death bombs, you seem to know when you are about to die and have a good reflex for that. As always, practice makes perfect so keep at it.

>>8011937

No. I men't phantasm. Extra mode is easy as hell.

>>8011939
Ah, I thought the familiars gave you back the amount you lost when you destroyed them (or that is what the wiki led me to believe.

>>8011937
Thanks for the critiques. It's good to hear that at least there's nothing terribly wrong with my fundamentals.

1) I may go back to border, I hope to do all shot-types eventually. Right now I'm using Magic team mostly for their POC benefits. I do admit that focus Alice being extremely narrow frustrates me a lot, especially on Reisen, where If I get steered away from her, there is a long 'pacifist' section before I can navigate back to doing damage.

2) I'm trying to get better about being able to do a lot more interswitching between focused and not. I used to basically do focus whenever the slightest difficulty showed up, and all the time in boss fights. I think I've swung the other way too far, not using focus nearly enough until things get really hard in the later stages.

3) Now that you mention it, I did notice on that one Keine non-spellcard, that popping a few of those familiars did make a dramatic difference. Good call. I'll experiment a bit more there.

Yeah, I'll keep plugging away till I get it. I think the 6A/6B division is making me more focused on getting the 1cc now, rather than putting it off until after having cycled through all the games on normal credit-feed, only 1cc-ing normal when I come back and do hard mode credit-feed playthroughs, which is pretty much how I handled my easymodo 1ccs. At first I hated that splitting implementation, but now, I'm not so sure.

Is this the touhou general?

you just suck iz all

XD

>>8013305
For lack of a better one, it has been for awhile, yeah.

>>8013293
>Right now I'm using Magic team mostly for their POC benefits.
Not sure whether you're talking about the lower POC border or the fact that you don't have to tap shift to collect, but just so you know you can collect everything at the POC with other teams by tapping focused mode even when they aren't at full power in IN.

>>8013992
>you can collect everything at the POC with other teams by tapping focused mode even when they aren't at full power in IN
I did not know this. Wow.

Also, just made it to Kaguya with two lives remaining, but her spellcards have seriously levelled up since easymode, so I died. I guess this means I have to unlock each of them in term in spell practice, or just have a much higher stock going in next time, but this is serious progress. I'm feeling good.

>>8014004
Glad to hear you're making progress, good luck with Kaguya!

>>8013353
Let's keep it that way.

>>8011864

Still waiting to see this. The Dude on youtube dies like 20 times.

He captures [Elusive Red Kappa] though, which I honestly didn't think was possible.

>>8016090
someone should perfect Shuusou Gyoku extra and make a video. Watching it would make my life never the same again.

Coulda been my best Nue run ever ;_;

>>8011939
Eh, yeah.

Last Spells are all openable with some basic knowledge over the stages (knowing when a fairy appears or from where). I did some stage practice runs to show one of my friends that IN normal Last Spells can all be opened without any nifty unfocused playing during the bosses.

I'll make you a full run if you give me some time, but actually, I agree with Hutina on the fact that you should not have concern about the timepoint gain when attempting you first 1CC.

>>8016568
Ahhahhaha oh wow, I suck.

This might not be good material for you to refer on - at least the stage 6B is not - on your 1CC attempts, given the fact that I fail a couple of times at seriously ridiculous points.

And yeah, the Kaguya battle? Man, that was worse than my first time encountering her.

Uhh. Yeah, I'll play a practice off the Stage 6B aswell, for some actual material to refer on.

Anyway, here's the run with all Last Spells opened with easy way dealing bosses.
http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=16485

>>8016605
Ah right, forgot to add the image.

It all comes down to watching replays and learn from there.

>>8012154
Huh? What time items would you lose by making the familiars pop because you destroyed the master? That doesn't really make any sense, it doesn't deduct them from your total before giving them back to you or anything, and it can't assume you're shooting them as 80% human. (Plus you get way more from the burst than if you did shoot them as human.)

>>8016605
>>8016666
Thanks, I'll watch and learn.

>>8016726
I assume he meant that when you pop the master, he thought the familiars only dropped the same amount of time that they would have dropped if you'd killed the familiars individually and then the master. I am basing this off of the fact that that was my assumption as well.

>>8016732
But the familiars only drop a few time points when you shoot them directly, whereas they drop a ton when you pop them. It's really noticeable.

>>8016733
I don't know. I thought they dropped different colored orbs, like the blackish ones versus the purple ones, and never bothered looking to see exactly what got added to my tally. I have no real excuse, I guess?

So, I don't know whether to move on to Hard mode or keep pressing on with the Extras. I can't seem to get past the halfway mark on most of the extras with SA Extra being particularly cruel. Hard mode I'm doing okay on most of them except for UFO Hard, haven't tried SA Hard yet but I suspect it'll crush me.

>>8019092
In my opinion, SA extra is the hardest. TD extra is close to it. SA and UFO are both pretty hard games, but you will get them if you keep trying. Do both extra and hard, alternating when you get bored of the other. Some extras should be easy, even for normal mode players.

>>8016732
Okay, so. Almost every actual spell card in the Final B is strictly patterned and there are several ways to make the spell card easier.

Here are some:

I'll do you some Last Spell clears if you want. But, ehh, Kaguya's Last Spells are pretty straightfoward, aren't they?

>>8019092
SA Hard is infinitely easier than UFO Hard.
Same as MoF: you get many many resources without even trying.

>>8020046
>>8020267

Well so far the only extra I've cleared is PCB Extra for the record. The other extras, I usually get around the 5th main boss spellcard until I'm done for, while I can't even get past Koishi's first one in SA extra. As for Hard mode, currently I can get to stage 6 in TD, around stage 5 in PCB, stage 4 in MoF, stage 2 in UFO and I haven't even tried EoSD or IN Hard mode yet. I should probably go for TD Hard, but after that I'm stuck. I don't even dare try StB since I can't get past level 7.

>>8020158
Very useful so far. Thank you kindly.

This helped me to finally get Dragon's Necklace:
http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=16512
It was taking forever (over 100 tries since watching your strategy, I'd tried it an even 250 before that), so I tried switching shot patterns to see if I just sucked too badly, or what. Turns out I managed to get it twice in 50 tries with Border Team, lol. This gave me the confidence to go back and do the other150 or so tries I needed.
(Border Team): http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=16511

Now I just need to unlock the others and practice them. I don't think Last Spells are necessary. I will gladly fail them because they won't cost me the run, and I never really figured out those on Easy either.

>>8020710
500 tries on normal, what the hell?

Just beat SA extra, took me about 3 hours of practice. Still had 3 lives after clearing. UFO here I come.

>>8020737
It's a tough card for me. I don't know what else to say.

Marisa solo only took 27 attempts, similar ratio as with Border Team. I think maybe it's just Alice giving me the trouble.

>>8020788
I tried it out myself, Alice definitely makes it a lot harder. 17 attempts for it on normal, 25 on lunatic. On border team I captured both on my first try.

this sucks so much. At least I got the first four Last Spells in this run.

OP is fake. Makes it to Remilia and fails at easiest spell care every time.

up

Rod Sign #600 and how it ended.

I haven't been grinding this game like I used to, and so I wasn't used to the gameplay on this run. Otherwise, I would have had a better shot. This run had its moments, but I was keeping it on life support in the later stages. It wasn't that good overall.

I really need to memorize that spellcard. It is static, after all. I just never use practice mode. Out of everything I have unlocked, MarisaB stage 6 is the one thing missing.

Honestly, I expected this to be much easier. I guess that's MarisaB for you.

>>8020710
In IN, there are several modes to pick.

There is the infamous Easy mode with 8+ lives.
There is the most commonly played Normal mode.
There's the Lunatic mode, played by some more dedicated players.
And then there is the Insane Masochist mode, more commonly known as "Alice solo".

So, let's see what Alice solo gives you:

* Awesome attack that penetrates enemies. It's actually usable in about... 3 portions in several stages.
* However, the attack sadly is very narrow, like, uhh.. Narrow. But hey, it penetrates enemies. That TOTALLY makes up for it being narrow.
* Your extremely narrow lazor beam is not like lazor beams usually are. (E.g. Marisas Master Spark is a lazor. It actually deals damage. Uhh.. Or maybe, it doesn't deal damage. It fucking slaughters people.) Alice's lazor, however, doesn't do that. It deals some damage, fairly enough damage, in a horribly narrow area.
* Other great features about alice solo are the movements. For most of the time, it feels like you're skating on ice. That's awesome, man.. Until you run into the first bullet in sight.
* For a small puppeteer, and to make up the small hitbox of the attack, Alice herself has a freaking huge hitbox. It's roughly 1/4 of you lazor beams size.

Here's some preview of Alice's awesome gameplay.
http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=16534

I'd totally suggest Alice solo for beginners at Touhou.. Yeah.

>>8025649
The description on that replay made me giggle.

I have finally realized the beauty of score running. I'm not very good yet, but now I get it.

>>8025718
This spellcard is fucking impossible.

>>8025771
I wish there was a mandlebrot touhou ;_;

All of the time, I had trus in you. (:

So, what to do now, huh? Go chasing lunatic clears off the other games, maybe EoSD as you like that one almost as much as you like UFO.

I would be happy enough to beat it on lunatic regularly. Maybe I will mess around with it in a livestream. I did a few rounds, and beating it regularly looks doable.

I could do a 'how long can you survive' kind of thing, but I would prefer a more logical challenge.

TD English patch is out.

Lemme see if I can disable filtering in non-UI MAME ...
God Mode is fucking fun, man. Like ... TD without the trance bullshit.

I just dropped the new exe in my old MAME folder (the shmupmame pack, to be precise) and it uses the old settings all nice-like.

>>8034308
EXCELLENT

>>8033430
Cool beans.
Time to remember that game exists.

>>8036590
Is that Futari? In MAME?

I've been under a rock for a while. Did I miss something fucking awesome?

Thanks, man. Looks like Mushihimesama and a handful of others were released too, but I'll find those myself.

I'm also going to assume I'm going to need the latest version of MAME, right?

>>8036697
Just had a run of Futari, fuck yeah this game is cool.

I am, however, appearing to have audio glitches. The audio itself sounds fine, however it often has a habit of repeating notes or bits of sound effects instead of playing continually.

If your framerate is under par, it'll have choppy music as well as video since they're emulated together (I guess). Hit f11, check it out.

If you're getting 100%, I guess it's just because the sound emulation isn't working quite right. But it's not tagged as such in MAME, so I don't think that's the case... maybe?

Ten desires 1CC is down, not sure what to do next as I've just been playing a whole lot of MoF extra/Jamestown/DDP lately. All of the games 1CCed on normal and I got to konpaku on lunatic for PCB, might give that some effort.

>>8037349
Yeah, appears it's slowing down every so often. Even as much as a 1% drop results in choppy sound.

Any options I need to select to improve my performance? I don't think my hardware is the issue here (i7 960 and a GTX580).

How do you get this to run on MAME?

I have version 1.43 but I get a message saying the game is not completed when I try to run it.

>>8038557
The Futari BL from the link just earlier worked fine for me.I'm also running 1.43, though the UI version.

Speaking of games not running, Deathsmiles is pulling an incorrect checksum error and it's not even picking up Ibara Black Label.

Mushi and Futari 1.5 are also missing "_u2" and "_u4", but they run regardless.

Bump. Use it or loose it.
