Get a load of this faggot.

Parsee was the reason I switched to a different game from SA, either I did amazingly well or I came out with no or one life.

that looks ilke a lot of bullets

Whatever happened to Jamestown?

>>9516063
>it's not Japanese so it sucks

>>9516130
Sad thing is, that's a perfectly applicable rule to shmups.

>>9516120

It was released and people played it for a while? The game's done, I don't think you should expect any new content there.

>>9516130
Let me know when you find a Western shump that's equivalent to one of Cave's.

>>9516130
well ur not japanese and u suck cocks lol

>>9516130
Think about it this way: Would you expect a Canadian jazz band to be any good? Some countries are just better at things.

>>9516120
They never added netplay. Really disappointing.

>>9516175
>Would you expect a Canadian jazz band to be any good?
Sure.

Jamestown could have been good. It did a lot of technical things very well but the stages and patterns were quite bad. If they made a sequel they could focus completely on stage design. It's hard to make a Ketsui killer from scratch so can't say that I'm disappointed. EOSD was also primitive and felt rushed.

I'm starting to realize shmup games are made by jerks and for jerks

>>9516209
I'd like to see another one from them too. They got it more right than not, and all the other western STGs I've seen lately have been pixelshit with RPG stats or glowy dual stick garbage. Unfortunately their latest update suggests that their next game will be completely different.

IMPERISHABLE NIGHT IS SUCH AN EASY PIECE OF SHIT GAME WHY AM I SUCKING AT IT SO MUCH GODDAMN

I'm trying to get a Hard 1cc in, and I can't even post a replay because I DON'T HAVE ANY because I ragequit due to dying three times to stupid, stupid shit. My goal is to get to Stage 4 without dying, and that's not some kind of insanely lofty goal, but I can barely ever manage to do it. I refuse to let this game beat me, so I have to keep playing it despite how much I fucking hate it.

I can't wait to be done with this just so I can move on to UFO. I don't care that UFO is harder; I just want to be fucking done with this stupid, stupid game.

Why do children flood these threads?

>>9519433
Stop ragequitting, it'll become a lot more enjoyable after you learn to just stop. Restarting over a fluke death on Stage 1? Okay, restart. But anything after Stage 2, and you will just be wasting your time.

Even after 12 hour marathons, it still takes hundreds of embarrassing shit runs before I even begin to no-miss the first three or four stages in an STG. And it will take even longer if you want to get a good score, just take it easy and keep playing.

>>9519433
Just start with 7 lives and get over it, okay ? I'm tired of your whining.

>>9519433
Funny, I recently 1cc'd SA Hard and had similar problem with restarting. Basically, what he said >>9519504

Who are your favourite Touhou players from /jp/, /jp/? What about the most skilled ones in your opinion?

>>9519790

>>9519433
I know that feel, been trying to 1cc MoF on normal for two weeks now and got the earlier stages down so well I almost die of boredom before stage 4, then I die couple of stupid deaths to sanae or stage 5/6 and kanako rapes me with her last spell

>>9519790
I like Riz, he sounds so cute.

>>9519790

>>9519790
Is there such a thing as a skilled /jp/ player who isn't actually from IRC? I think the same about the players in the IaMP and Hisoutensoku threads too.

All the skilled players from IRC only come in to beat up the low tier /jp/ players. ;_;

Does anyone on /jp/ play anything beside Touhous?

>>9520137

>>9520038
I know that there are at least 2 anonymous people here that are much better than anyone on #pofv. One of them beat the current PCB Phantasm world record by 0.1B and one of them does Lunatic/Extra score runs in IN. I certainly hope there are more better players that distance themselves away from that shithole, but lately it feels like the only people posting in these threads are from there.

>>9520522
>0.1B
Hmm. Does he plan for No-ice GFW too.

>>9520356
My favorite is Frog Hunting - "Frog Is Eaten by Snake due to the Croak". Very fun.
Hardest is Utsuho's first spell, Atomic Fire - "Nuclear Fusion". I hate it

>>9520522
>Beating HS参謀 by 0.1b

>>9520356
>What is your favorite spell card?
VoWG. I'm also in love with every spellcard in UFO.
>What about the hardest spell card?
Greatest Treasure, Purple Stuff, or Devil's Recitation. Some of Remi's stuff on high rank is also hard.
>>9520649
Account for the change of the bullet's speed and that they will disappear. It's more about positioning than dodging. Also, it's to problem to skip it. It's fairly hard for what Miko has.

Could be fake though. That also reminds me of that one Russian anon that claimed a PCB Extra WR for a few weeks. I'm pretty sure he's not part of that #pofv circlejerk. But if all of the good players really are part #pofv then that's a bit depressing.

>>9519433

Bleh, finally. I still have to go back and do it on FinalA, but at least a Hard 1cc is DONE.

>>9519504
>>9519653

Managed to get my goal of not dying before Stage 4 on this run anyway.

>>9519599

I'm not that pathetic.

>>9520867
Oh man me too!!!!! You wouldn't happen to know how to drive a falsificar though, would you? I'm having a bit of trouble.

>>9521013
These are most likely fake without the replays being handed. There is a reason for WR tier scoring to have replay requirements, you know.

And all this sihtting on #pofv for nothing makes you seem really pathetic. If you have a problem with them at least tell what it is so it can be rationalized.

>>9521173
He actually never seemed to care about having that score, anyway.

>And all this sihtting on #pofv for nothing makes you seem really pathetic. If you have a problem with them at least tell what it is so it can be rationalized.
Silly personal reasons that I would even feel worse about mentioning. But since it bothers you so much, I apologize and will stop.

Pointing down an entity, which may or may not related for unwanted posts have more impact than blaming anonymous.

>He actually never seemed to care about having that score, anyway.
When Yusuke beat HS's score by small margin he posted a screenshot of his ten thousand retries of phantasm.
When Kopipoa made an almost maxed score TAS run he posted it in the nico. Even before that he showed the WIP video.
He probably photoshopped the score or have some memory address messed up, because even a TAS in that scoring region would require -very much- effort. The replay cannot be saved naturally.

>>9521143
u think ur though uh?

>Silly personal reasons
Fuck you.

>>9521436
Calm down, it's just one person. Everyone else loves you guys.

>>9521013
I know who that was and he told me it was TAS.
>>9521025
Good job.

>>9521512
>I know who that was
Hahaha, I can assure you that you don't know who that was. That person that you know is a liar. Don't make friends with smurfs, Riz.

>>9521900
I am positive that I know who it was. I was talking to him while he got it. He even gave me a screenshot of the results before he posted it. He used to go on #pofv and /jp/ but isn't active anymore. He likes to score in PCB Extra.
>That also reminds me of that one Russian anon that claimed a PCB Extra WR for a few weeks.
That sounds exactly like him.

It's weird how you can struggle with something for days, but when you beat it, you end up smashing it. The first time I beat MoF, I had three extra lives left. The first time I beat Nue, I had three extra lives left. It just sometimes works out that way.

EoSD extra...Flandre is easy as pie, but I'm having trouble on the stage and midboss.

At about 0:46 in this video >>9523966 those blue circle bullets come at you so fast, I can't find a reliable way to do it without bombing. Also the final fairy before Patchouli at 1:03 gives me trouble sometimes because those blue "walls" sometimes block me. Are they random every time?
Lastly, I have trouble on Philosopher's Stone, but I doubt there's a "way" to do it, since it's random dodging.

>>9527975
okay, found it, thanks.

>>9528109
I used to have trouble with the 2 fairies that come at the same time as well. The first fairy drops 2 8power items and you can kill it before it shoots more than 3 fast bullets. What you want to do is collect 120 power to 127 power and make your way through the slower bullets and pickup one of the big power items just as the 2 fairies on either side shoot.
>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHmzO2RI1fs For most reliable way, not good for collecting points.

>>9526975
Nope. I don't know of any higher-level players that use it.
>>9528109
>At about 0:46 in this video >>9523966 those blue circle bullets come at you so fast, I can't find a reliable way to do it without bombing.
It shouldn't be very hard. You just need to move to the side in order to position yourself for them. It's more about positioning than dodging. You can also time a bullet cancel at full power.
>Also the final fairy before Patchouli at 1:03 gives me trouble sometimes because those blue "walls" sometimes block me. Are they random every time?
I think the number of walls is static but the walls themselves are random. If you are not confident in dodging them, you will either have to rely on the RNG or use a bomb.
>Lastly, I have trouble on Philosopher's Stone, but I doubt there's a "way" to do it, since it's random dodging.
It's pretty hard. There's nothing wrong with using a bomb there.

Check the replay name for the 345M score

>>9529339
Can you read?

Of course you can't.

bump

>>9528367
The 345 million must be a good score if you say so, but there is large difference between it and 333. I am sure that you, T, or some skilled /jp/ player could gain a higher score.

>>9529339
Who is Mimic?

>>9532133
>>9529339
Why are both of you pointing Riz's post which has nothing to do with PCB Stage 4 practice?

I can't even 1cc anything on Normal, but from sort of whim I decided to practice EoSD Lunatic.
I was practicing all day yesterday. When I first started, I couldn't even make it past stage 2 without using a continue. Now I can make it to stage 5 (using continues). Even though it's not an accomplishment, it feels a bit better that I'm improving a little.

Upon looking at my replays of Imperishable Night, I noticed something weird with Kaguya's Divine Treasure "Jeweled Branch of Hourai -Dreamlike Paradise-". I lasted a good amount of time against that spell card without dying, and Kaguya's health went down VERY slowly. However, when I got hit once and died, her health started going down MUCH faster after that.

Did ZUN just make it so the spell card would be harder to capture than to just win against? Has he done this in other places in other games? It just seems like a dumb, poor way to add difficulty, like EoSD's Rank system.

>>9532874
I think she has some sort of invincibility going for a long time on that card, but don't quote me on that.

>>9515928
>play EoSD
>die
>95.95% of the game done
>on normal
Why am so bad at Touhou?

>>9532915
because who are you quoting

Is it normal to die every five seconds when you just start playing Lunatic?

(SA Normal mode tier player.)

>>9532949
Yes.

>>9532949
SA has a really nasty stage 1, don't worry about it.

One time during Stage 3 of Perfect Cherry Blossom, my mum shouted me and now whenever I hear that part of The Doll Maker of Bucuresti, I think my mum's shouting me.
Another time during Stage 3 of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, my dog barked so whenever I listen to Shanghai Teahouse ~ Chinese Tea, I think my dog is barking.

Does this happen to anyone else?

>>9532874
Yes, kaguya is invincible before the pattern changes, the beginning is supposed to make you familiar with the bouncing danmaku and the real spellcard begins when she changes the pattern so it's not only trivial streaming

Why do I keep losing a life to Parsee even though she is easy as fuck?

I can't grasp Murasa's third spell on Lunatic. It's 0/79 now. The bullets fired from the anchors get me every time unless I dodge in the corners, but there I deal 0 damage to Murasa. Stupid glowshit. Do you think I could have a better chance of dodging them if I move up instead of backing down when dodging, or am I just grasping at straws now?

>>9533087
dunno, her midboss nonspell is evil, but I dunno how you could die to anything else

>>9533094
Her midboss nonspell dies before it gets remotely difficult.

I forgot how to bomb properly.

Damn you, Imperishable Night.

>>9533091
Right after I posted that I got a no-miss (1 bomb on third non-spell, god can't dodge that) Murasa until survival, then balanced out with embarassing failures there. I'm still not quite sure how I did the spell I had trouble on, I feel like I lucked out.

>>9532885
>>9533085

I know that she's immortal during that opening pattern, but that's not what I'm talking about. When the real spell card began, her health was very, VERY slow to drain. I wasn't playing a solo human, so it's not like her familiars were blocking my shots. I managed to get back and forth across the screen several times during the main pattern before I died, and her health drained MUCH faster during the second life.

Here's the replay from when I posted it earlier in the thread: http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=23041

Pay attention to her health during Divine Treasure "Jeweled Branch of Hourai -Dreamlike Paradise-", and you'll clearly see what I mean. The difference between before and after I died is quite significant.

>>9533208
The posts you quoted are 100% correct. Everybody in IN has extreme defense at the beginning of all spells, some have it last longer than others. For her last normal spell, it happens to be a long time. The fact that you died right when that defense wore off is just coincidence.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJH8ntXj3g8&list=PL4794EB6AFDEB0DF1

This thing made my day. I'm laughing so hard.

How...

What does /jp/ think about Mushihimesama Futari?

>>9533925
Too many bullets that aren't slow and don't make pretty patterns

>>9533925
Ultra is fun. Maybe not Ura loop fun, but still fun.

Let us have another /jp/ challenge.

PCB Normal, stage 3. Most points wins.

You have 24 hours.

>>9534110
STGT is on. There's no time for serious competition on such a short notice. Short-lived gimmicks like the previous one work better.

so what other "bullet hell" games are there other than touhou

>>9533925
1.5 Maniac is the best game. 1.5 Original is good for some simple fun, and BL God Mode is great too. BL Original is shit, BL Maniac is shit, and I haven't played Ultra.

So altogether, it's easily one of Cave's best games. Top 3 at the very least.

>>9534895
http://www.cave-stg.com/?page_id=307

The good news is that all of those games are better than Touhou.

>>9532874
It takes a while for a while for Kaguya to be vulnerable. You need to watch some replays.

My parents like to call me a lot, so I sometimes think that I hear my phone ringing. *phone rings*

>>9533159
I've never had this problem.

Where can I download a Cave game?

>>9535127
They're arcade games. Use MAME to play them. Download the MAME roms from your favorite torrent site or assorted resource.

Am I the only one who finds it incredibly difficult to continue SA around the time of Satori? Before isn't particularly different, but Satori gets me most of the time; and if she doesn't I end up getting slaughtered in the next level anywho.

>>9535127
Buy an Xbawks 360 and buy the games

>>9535358
When I used to play SA for a whole day, I would rape every single boss until Satori without losing a single life. Although I get fucked up when I'm not using reimu + yukari

>>9535358
shes easy with reimu / yukari

>>9535358
I don't find satori that difficult, it's that cat who rustles my jimmies, I really hate every boss with fast rice danmaku patterns with passion

>>9533806
Did I misunderstand something, or did you just die during the animation of catching the last photo you needed?

Ouch.

So, what does /jp/ think about Danmaku Death?, any other worthy STG I should get?

I made it to Stage 4 SA Lunatic after picking up a stick. Prior to this, I couldn't even make it past Stage 2.

I'm just going to write this off as pure luck, maybe.

i'm fairly new to the touhou games, how do you play shoot the bullet? I sort of get it but i feel like im missing something

>>9535571
You take pictures.

>>9535571
>i'm fairly new to the touhou games

Why the fuck are you playing Shoot the Bullet, then?

>>9535628
i was told to

>>9535646
I don't know who told you that and why, StB and DS are the worst games to familiarize yourself with touhou. Start by playing Imperishable Night.

>>9535663
i see, thanks

>>9535378
I've been running Reimu/Yukari and that what seems to get me, the last two spellcards are the main issue. Yet the only other equivalent character choice is Marisa/Patchouli; which the mechanic is neat but tricky, and I've no clue what Satori pulls with them.


>>9535628
In all fairness Shoot the Bullet I thought was good practice, considering I'm not exactly spectacular at Touhou.

>>9535541
It's okay but ultimately lacking. The difficulty is more irritating than satisfying in the upper difficulty levels, the patterns are okay but nothing to write home about, and the hitboxes are more unforgiving than they probably should be.

It's one of the better non-Cave danmaku games on the Android, but honestly that's not saying much.

>>9535571
hold shift and shoot for focused movement

>>9535674
If you want practice PoFV is better for learning dodging and instincts.

>>9535663
>Start by playing Imperishable Night

Is this generally agreed upon?

>>9535717
Easiest bosses, easiest deathbombs, plentiful resources. It's most newcomer's first 1cc.

>>9535717
I disagree. IN teaches bad habits. It's the easiest one if you're willing to abuse the shit out of it but is that what you want? MoF is also very easy if you select the bugged shot type and spam bombs.

>>9535770
It's not a true 1cc is you use MarisaB.

Touhou is a shmup. Very basic shmup skills are enough to cheese clears in Touhou. Play shmups to acquire basic shmup skills.

>>9535571
I think that it is wonderful that you are starting with STB. Don't listen to people who tell you to start with a specific game. They are scrubs that couldn't beat Easy mode to save their life. Here are some resources to get you started: http://pastebin.com/VQCXzQMv

You should look at the gameplay article for STB on touhouwiki.

Only if the newcomer plans to go straight to scoring. If you're a newcomer and are playing just for survival, IN would be a game you should avoid. It teaches bad habits, most significantly, deathbombing.

You should just start with EoSD.
Best touhou game and the only one you'll ever need to play.

>>9535799
Oh shit, hard-ass Riz talking like he's good. What a joke.

>>9536083
>Riz isn't good
So what do you have to do before you can become 'good'?

NBNDNVMNF 90 Fps Fairy Wars

Not having an unwarranted mountainous ego of the autismal tripwhore variety, for starters.

Oh, I guess he could also try to score for real once in a while.

Also, conception of one's own abilities and one's skills are usually inversely proportional when it comes to scoring. Just about every player with good scores thinks they suck. Incidentally, Riz thinks rather highly of himself.

>>9535358
The cat gets me.


I don't know how to deal with the ghost fairies. Shit is impossible.

>>9536447
Stop shooting, first lure them above her.
It's best if you actually position yourself above her when the spellcard starts.
Then just quickly move down and shoot her and the zombie fairies from there.
If they get too close just stop shooting again and lure them away.

>>9536224
What >>9536271 said. Riz should go back to being the quiet and submissive name-fag like he was a year ago when he first started tinkering around in UFO. Now it just seems like he's got an ego bigger than what his skill is worth and probably thinks it's justified because he's part of #pofv and plays at 90 fps with retarded "challenges" that are not reflective of any skill whatsoever.

How do I 90 FPS?

Are there any touhous where you play from the perspective of a single bullet?

>>9536682
You just gotta go fast.

Can´t face the truth?

I can bet my sweet ass I have better scores than you.

>>9533091
>I can't grasp Murasa's third spell on Lunatic. It's 0/79 now. The bullets fired from the anchors get me every time unless I dodge in the corners, but there I deal 0 damage to Murasa. Stupid glowshit. Do you think I could have a better chance of dodging them if I move up instead of backing down when dodging, or am I just grasping at straws now?

Sorry for being so late, the bullets the anchors spawn are mostly static. Since the anchor wave is aimed at you, if you manipulate the anchors to one of your sides, the resulting bullet spread should be very similar every time you do it. Try to position yourself similarly for most of Murasa's movements so you can micromemorize the bullet pattern. It can get hairy if she moves to one of the sides, but for those few times that happens, you can just hang out in the far corner and dodge the less dense stuff until she centers herself more.

>>9538421
>I can bet my sweet ass I have better scores than you.
Well sure, there are several games I don't even play. I can guarantee that I have scores that are better than yours as well. That doesn't mean too much.

I have several scores that could be considered "good", but I'm too aware of my own mistakes and shortcomings to appreciate them as much as some others might. When people comment positively on my scores, I don't vehemently shoot them down as an attempt to fish for compliments. I point out the faults and explain the difference between where I am and where I could be. Even when I do improve, the goal shifts and the ceiling is pushed higher.

Wait, I get it, that was a joke. Because you did exactly as the article describes. You're a funny guy.

I only said that just in case you were joking. Now that I responded both seriously and acknowledging the potential that you weren't serious, I have all of my bases covered.

It's because what's good is relative to what kind of people you're surrounded with.

If you're surrounded by awful players who can't reach a stage four boss without continues on normal difficulty, a person who can 1CC hard on a lucky run will seem pretty good. But if that same person spends all his time around people who are trying to pacifist SA lunatic, he's going to think of himself as awful and describe himself that way.

At every level there are people higher and lower than you (unless you're at the very very top) and your opinion of your own skills will depend on who you're comparing yourself to.

Though it is indeed 'mostly static', but just remember it can drift by some pixel.

This. My scores are great when compared to other western players, but being a great western player is like being a great Special Olympian. Who cares.

>>9538881
It's kind of pointless to ask for examples if you don't know anybody at all.

>>9534110
Am I late?

Okay, yeah, what people were saying about the difficulty scaling up in UFO very strongly between Normal and Hard mode was true. I managed to get to Ichirin in my first sitting, but I had a fuckton of deaths in the stage due to not being used to how fast and dense and WIDE the bullet patterns are. Fuck those things that shoot a bunch of blue bullets and explode into big blue bullets when they die.

>>9539804
Those yin-yang orbs are the bane of us all. Just practice more.

>>9539355
Americans(not necessarily all Westerners as a whole) will always be shit at pretty much every single game they play. Fighters and STGs? Blown up by the Japanese. FPSes? Blown up by Europeans. RTS? Korea destroys them. Americans in general cannot play competitive games.

There are a very few amount of exceptions where you see American players whom have anything remotely close to skill, but they're VERY rare.

>>9539820
The sad part is that the western STG community by far the least advanced out of every competitive genre. Nobody that cares about "western record" this or "first western" that will ever be good. Do you see western fighting game players aiming to take down Justin Wong or PR Balrog in Street Fighter? No, they aim to beat the best players in the world, like Infiltration, Daigo, et al.

Where are the people that are trying to dethrone SWY, TAC, ISO, etc? They don't exist, because they're too busy going for western recordzzzzzz.

>>9539856
Well you see the western stg community is reliant on superplays from Japanese players so how the hell are they going to beat them if all they do is copy the japanese players?

The west and Japan do not infact play the same games West sits and copies some superplay(japanese also borrow knowledge from eachother but they search for even better routes etc) and comes to a stop and cannot progress over the superplays score. The japanese stg community will develop new techniques to trump their previous score. Take for example DonPachi I think HFD´s latest score was 70 million something like that. The west is capped at the 20mil superplays that are available on the internet and have no fucking idea how to even break 30 million.

http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=23088

First extra clear, it felt amazing to watch Ran explode.

>>9538489
It was static, so I had a much easier time studying it. Now the only thing limiting me from capturing it consistently is my lack of skill. Can't thank you enough man.

>>9539820
One of the best PCB players in the whole world is American.

>>9539918
He was mostly talking about real shmups.

>>9534110
Newbie here. Never did score run before. Also i'm quite drunk this time.

>>9539890
SOF-WTN is actually the Donpachi god (HFD sticks to DOJ), and I think his most recent score is 84 million.

That game is probably the best example of the skill gap between Japan and everybody else.

>>9539949
Dang I always mix up HFD and SOF-WTN. But yes as I said the West does not know how to craft its own strategies.

>>9539856
You can clearly see how terrible most of the USA is at video games by simply watching them play Guilty Gear or Blazblue. It really is amazing how many piss easy combos they manage to drop in a single match. There is simply no excuse for dropping a combo in Blazblue of all games.

Funny how they also get destroyed in UMVC3, which is, "USA's game." Quite entertaining, really.

>>9539983
Didn't Justin just win MvC3 in Tougeki? But yeah, the USA is still pretty far behind in fighters, but at least they know what to aim for.

>>9539689
>>9539944
Nice job anons! And no, you're not late. Let's say that you have to the end of the week.

>>9534859
Aw come on, where's your spirit of competition? I checked the STGT site and there are quite a few big names missing. I'm sure you guys could break 90M, or maybe even 100M. Come on, play a bit!

Here's my shot at it.

The super top secret technique for capturing Q.E.D. is revealed here:

>>9540022
I've been out of the MvC3 loop for awhile, but wasn't Kusoru raping everybody with Frank/Rocket Raccoon/Joe?

Yeah, JWong is probably America's best at the moment. But really, let's not go off topic too much. As far as competition goes, I've been trying my hand at StB and DS scoring. Stupid, I know.

We know how to get 70m+ish in Donpachi, just nobody this side of the world is interested in playing it, it seems. Well, the only anglophone who is sorta bothering is almost as secretive as SOF-WTN regarding his replays, so it's hard to count him. He can get about 40m just from the first loop iirc though, so you're still horribly (and unsurprisingly) uninformed.

>>9539856
I'm in the process of getting rid of this "west vs east" mentality, so gimme a little bit to motivate players beyond dumb "western records" (whatever the fuck that means). There are a few players I know of who are pushing beyond it though, so don't get too discouraged.

>>9538744
I meant the glowing bullets. The bullets spawned by the anchors colliding with the walls are random.

Is it normal that in Cave games, the spread shot fires by bursts and not continuously?

>>9542507
Use the autofire button.

>>9542552
Doesn't work in DonPachi. Maybe it's supposed to be like this after all.

>>9542552
>Use the autofire button.
And tap once to shoot a single bullet. Heplful for chaining.

Allnighter on cap'n shitface Murasa made me able to 1BNM her pretty consistently. Ah, the feeling of progress. Her third non is a bit tricky so I'll just leave it for the X key.

Actually, how does her third non work, exactly? It doesn't look static, at least.

These toho games are just too damn silly.

I've been sitting here for a goddamn hour trying to beat this silly ass boss. First off, I cant even read the goddamn text in these silly toho games.

I don't even know how to use bombs. I keep shooting out cards full auto, but I have no clue how I'm doing it. The only way I know to use bombs is to mash z/x.

The worst part is, why would some silly nigga make a game where it is literally impossible to dodge the attack in this pic?

You know what, yall silly, zunbar a silly nigga, toho is silly, this board silly. I'm going back to /r9k/.

>>9546139
Try one of the windows games instead of descending into the abyss again.

>>9544819
I set it up in the TAB menu, not sure if it's what you are talking about.

But, on arcade, does the spread shot also fire in bursts?

Is it possible to get past those books before Koakuma on EoSD Lunatic?
I'm hearing that it's impossible and that it's meant to be bombed.

>>9546342
Very possible. You could've googled or youtube searched.

>>9535736
>It's most newcomer's first 1cc.

Ha. Ha. Tell that to this newcomer who downloaded it as his touhou first months ago and still gets fried by Marisa/Reimu.

I have easy 1ccs with all the teams, but that hardly counts. My first normal 1cc (and currently only not-PoFV) was MoF.

Easy deathbombs is a tossup because when I'm on the ball I can nail it without the ridiculously long window, and the double costs really eats up your bombs.

>>9546342
>meant to be bombed

That's what secondaries want to belive.

>>9546342
Yes, it is very possible.
http://youtu.be/ezsuZSsRvVk

>>9546342
No, it wasn't meant to be bombed at all. Practice it more and watch some replays using frame advance to get the most out of them. You can truly see every single frame of every single bullet this way.

But no, there's nothing that is impossible in STGs. Theoretically, if the player is skilled enough, he/she should be able to get through just about anything.

I tried playing Lotus Land Story earlier today.
I kept getting distracted by my own bullets.
PC-98 games are hell for that.

>>9546557
I occasionally mix up blue bullets and point items when I play Mystic Square

I don't even know how. I just do.

>>9546500
Why did you stop shooting?

I know it's timed but if you take down one or two of them, it should make things much more easier.

After several, several continues, I passed UFO Stage 4 on Hard. From my first glimpse at Stage 5, I must say it looks like a nightmare.

Also, Murasa's spells are insane.

>>9551243
Yay, congrats! Practise some more, Murasa becomes really fun once you get her down more.

Depths "Genetics of the Subconscious" is utter bullshit

>>9550882

I was the same.

>>9550882
That was a long stream. Thanks for watching.
>>9551243
I was the same. Just keep practicing.

>>9552262

On the run on which I managed to beat Koishi, I ended up timing that spell card out. It's incredibly annoying.

>>9552278
Not the same anon, but how many hours a day should I be practicing? I've pondered this question ever since I bought the PS2 port of DOJ when it first came out. Some days when I had the free time, I would practice for 12 hours a day. And other days, I would only be able to play one run per day.

I'm still fairly puzzled at how I should go about practicing these games. Long, drawn out sessions? Or short sessions? Stage practice, or no stage practice. There's just so many options~.

>>9553051
I usually spend about 2-3 hours a day on a busy day, and on days where I have nothing to do I can spend up to 8 or so hours just grinding through a game I want to beat.
Stage practice is very useful and I'd recommend using it alot when going for your first 1cc of the game on that difficulty.
Most of my time is spent in stage practice until I'm confident I can do the stages individually well enough, then I try to do full runs and string together everything.

>>9553051
Practicing correctly is far more important for progress than the hours you put in.

Always do stage practice until you're comfortable with the entire game, then start doing full runs to try and put everything together. Once you can do the easy stuff consistently (say 90%+), there's no reason to play it when you could be practicing the stuff you suck at.

My post got far too big for the thread, so I made a Pastebin for it: http://pastebin.com/uY6W2Cd1

Those fucking cheese graters, ugh. The boss literally goes from boringly easy to "Welp, I sure hope the bullets will be dodgeable this time" even on the first loop.

>>9552262
Eh, it's not so bad. You just gotta pay attention to when she homes in on you.

I'm trying to make my Hard UFO Stage 3 suck less, since the only reason I've been getting through it at all on regular runs has been the resources I've gathered from the previous Stages. This has been my best Practice run yet, and it's still terrible. Any tips, aside from the fact that I need to practice more and just stop sucking so hard?

>>9554474
You need to memorize the spots where the wall fairies spawn and shoot them before they corner you/wall you in. The late-stage groups of little fairies can be circled around in a clockwise motion quite easily.

You also need to keep in mind I have never played UFO Hard or anyone other than ReimuA so I really have no idea what I'm talking about or if it will actually work.

I decided to start UFO, but ran into a small problem - it seems to be stuck on 50 FPS. I thought maybe vsync patch would help, but this is what I get when I open it.

>>9554921
Now I tried running it windowed and it works at 60 FPS. What can be wrong with it?
