Please don't bully people, anon-kun.

TH14 uses every single shot type from the previous integer games. Assume TH10 MarisaB is fixed.

Which do you use?

>>9763485
The new ones.

>>9763485
Yukari/Reimu from SA
Sakuya/Remilia from IN

>>9763485

Honestly, I'd go with TD Youmu. I love that charge shot, makes me feel dangerous, risky, and I'm a fan of getting up close and personal.

>>9763485
Definitely SakuyaA from PCB.

Decent damage, good bomb, and I really got used to that move speed.

>>9763500


>>9763485
TD Reimu.

Someone stream, please!

I promise I'll be good, for whatever I did wrong last time.

New 2hu fan here. Can you guys beat EOSD on normal easily? I reached Remilia and she totally wrecked my shit. Also is there list of all games by difficulty?

>>9763526

I'm a warrior, not a lewd dude...I'm just better with a sword than bullets. Even if they're technically slash shaped bullets. I hope there's more shot types like it.

>>9763535
But, exactly what did I do wrong?
When I'm sober, I don't dare even look at the streams. Did I talk too much? I'll try not to double post from now on.
I don't think I said anything too rude, did I? I'm sorry, I get too happy when I have company

I even made sure not to write like an illiterate buffoon, I just want to know what it was that broke the camel's back so I I'll know better next time- Help me become a better drunk.

I'll bake an apology cake tomorrow if someone helps me!

I'm sorry for being a bother, so please respond.

>>9763558
Quite alot of us can beat EoSD on normal easily, even hard mode.
The games change in difficulty on the higher modes comapred to each other, for example UFO is of average difficulty on Normal, but on Lunatic it becomes one, if not the, hardest to beat in the series.

>>9763571
Waah I really need to step it up then. Gonna try to beat all games in order on normal.

>>9763586
Good luck anon-kun.

I feel pretty proud of myself for being able to get to stage 8 of StB, and that's with the minimum requirements of 3 cards per stage past Keine's stage.

No idea how to do any of stage 8 though.

>>9763501
>Sakuya/Remilia from IN
Oh yeah, that one was really cool.

>>9763558
A lot of us can beat any game on Lunatic trivially. Some of us even play on the highest difficulties with handicaps. The game's difficulties vary per level. I would say that EoSD is somewhere in the middle on Normal mode.
>>9763572
You were being rude. Your ban is only 24 hours, so you can come next time. Just don't be drunk.

>>9763710
Why did you link to a Youtube video of yours? Do you really think just saying "I like the card" is not enough?

I want to get in to #pofv. What are the requirements?

>>9764164
An IRC client

>>9764171
I knkow that, silly. I meant in terms of skill.

>>9764189
As far as I know there really isn't.
Nobody in PoFV really plays PoFV that much.

>>9763485
IN Youmu.

Do you play in windowed or full screen mode?

>>9764189
You don't need any skill. Not everyone on #pofv even plays Touhou. You are welcome as far as I'm concerned.
>>9764258
Full screen mode. I also use a CRT with automatic input latency.

>>9764258
Windowed mode at double the resolution (1280 x 960) or something like that. Since the games are locked at 640 x 480 resolution, running the games in fullscreen mode causes some problems with 2 monitors, at least for me.

There's no requirements beyond not being a complete jerk. 95% of the time there's nobody even talking these days. Ironically this bizarre surge of IRC hate/fakeposting recently has aligned with the channel being completely dead. I guess the people posting about it haven't actually been in the channel this month.

>>9764366
Everybody on that IRC is a complete jerk with an ego the size of China.

>>9764451
Western players shouldn't even have egos since we all suck when compared to the Asians.

>>9764468

Well, there are Western players with world records, so they can at least be temporarily better than Asian players. It kind of doesn't matter, though! You can enjoy games and be proud of what you accomplish even if you aren't literally the strongest man in the world.

I guess it's true people shouldn't have big egos just because they're good ad videogames. Fortunately every good player is completely self-deprecating and thinks they're worth less than garbage so that's not really a problem. There are some guys who use anonymity to fake like they're representative of something but who cares about what anonymous dudes say lool

>>9764531
What world records do Western players have?

>>9764451
Almost every player on the channel sans Riz hates themselves really much.

>>9764659
Just T. He has some world records in TD and UFO extra stages, I think.

>>9764671
Do I count as being on the channel if I only go whenever I remember about the existence of IRC?

And if so, I kinda like myself.

>>9764659

Nereid took ReimuC normal on MoF recently, T has some stuff, I seem to recall Heartbeam had/has some? dot_asp took an extra record as well I think. Anyways, it's totally possible! Just takes dedication.

>>9764659
Sikraiken has the world record in the US version of Daioh
EOJ had the world record in Muchi Muchi Pork 1.01 for a while
Mr Monkey Man has/had the world record in Ketsui X Mode
Iconoclast has a world record in Akai Katana Climax

Those are games that the top Japanese players didn't play but they are still good accomplishments.

>>9764366
>I guess the people posting about it haven't actually been in the channel this year.

dot_asp isn't western though.

normal modo nobomb 1cc of EoSD, getting back into it after not playing for ages. Once I tidy up my stage 5 i'll be able to do it with ease, but I want to get my deaths below 6 before considering it good.

>>9767302
Okay, here is a replay: http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=24086
I made the mistake of being weak on the portion before Kogasa-boss. I think it would have been better to summon an extra red UFO there. Also, it would have probably been better to summon a rainbow token on the first orb section in stage 3. I would recommend starting stage 3 with one red token if you can. Also, I think that my stage 1 extra-red-ufo trick is pretty easy with MarisaA, so I would recommend learning it. Otherwise, you would end stage 1 with a red and green token and follow a slightly different route. Tell me if you need anything else.
>>9768521
>How can I capture PCB Alice's first spell consistently? Is it static?
It's a random dodging sequence. Just don't run into bullets.
>Why is PCB stage 3 stage portion so hard?
PCB is just made that way. Its stages 3 and 4 are relatively hard compared to the other games.
>How do I survive the bullshit spam after Lily White?
It's all aimed. Just don't move a lot.
>Yuyuko's second spell. Is it memorable? (is the circling around method easier?)
Yes, it is memorable. Practice it until you get comfy. I wouldn't use the circling method because it's dangerous and you can't damage Yuyuko a lot.
>Yuyuko's third non-spell. Is this static? Can it be memorized to be done consistently?
I think it's a pretty hard nonspell because it's clippy. I would recommend trying to get out to the sides whenever you can.
>80% Reflowering. I have been doing it purely from the bottom. Is there any better way of capturing it?
That's how I always did it. There are some POC and border manipulation tricks that can make the spell easy. Some people like to do it from the top corner in order to be at the POC constantly. I'm not sure which method is better.

Wow. Stopped playing touhou like 2 weeks ago, cause i sucked on easy PCB. Now tried to play it on normal just to be sure that im hopeless and suddenly did it to the stage 5 without any problems. Then died. But i had trouble going so far on easy and now i did this... Weird, but i got another motivation boost.

>>9768521
>How can I capture PCB Alice's first spell consistently? Is it static?
Static patterns fired at different angles. Not a big deal to get the hang of.

>Why is PCB stage 3 stage portion so hard?
To try to make up for stages two, three, and five.

>How do I survive the bullshit spam after Lily White?
Memorize a set of movements, adjusted for shooting or not shooting.

>Yuyuko's second spell. Is it memorable? (is the circling around method easier?)
I would prefer circling because the movements are smaller, but it's static either way so.

>Yuyuko's third non-spell. Is this static? Can it be memorized to be done consistently?
Yes.

>80% Reflowering. I have been doing it purely from the bottom. Is there any better way of capturing it?
You can always move up to pass the waves before they fan out. 50/50 for me as to which way is better.

I need something new and spicy to play.

Any doujin STGs come out recently that try to be INNOVATIVE or contain a lot of really meaty EXPLOSIONS?

I want to say I only care about gameplay, but I am hopelessly infatuated with graphics where you can practically taste the oil of enemies splattered across your face.

Touhou in five minutes or less, not sure what I'll be playing, but staying away from UFO and SA, too frustrated with them.

twitch.tv/exxelent

What is the best STG to play to acquire IRC-level talent?

I want to be able to pick up an STG and 1cc it on my first or second try, I've been grinding a whole lot of DOJBL, but that doesn't seem to be helping me a whole lot.

>>9768868
I leveled up on Ketsui and Futari 1.5 Maniac the most when I first started playing

>>9768868
Play easier games?

I still can't 1cc eosd on normal. With ReimuB I have to spend 2 bombs on princess undine, with another character I just die to remilia.

At least I don't have to use a bomb on Hong anymore.

>>9768879
I played a little bit of Ketsui, but my 360 is currently in storage, so I cannot play Futari.

>>9768902
That wouldn't help a whole lot, would it? I think that I'd improve the most if I were to play something which was difficult, but not difficult to the point to where I can't even follow what the Hell is going on.

I'm obviously not getting my point across clearly because I am a retard.

What I mean is, I want to get my skill level to the point to where I can 1cc any STG on my very first few runs and start playing for score and devising scoring routes right away. You know how people like Riz and .asp can do shit like that? Yeah, I want to be like that too.

>>9769063

Nobody can do that, including the people you mentioned. If you want to get better then play a lot and actively think about what you're doing wrong every time you play.

What to do, SA Normal, or the PC-98 games on Hard.

>>9768985
>pleasure
>games
Forever casual.

>>9769063
You're not retarded, the guy you're replying to just can't seem to express his thoughts in coherent sentences. As the guy mentioned above, they can't do that. For many people, especially in the STG genre, playing a different STG will feel like playing a completely new game, even if they are proficient in other STGs. The background experience, will, on the other hand help you improve faster at new STGs. I bet it would still takes Riz several dozen (if not hundred) hours of practice to start consistently 1ccing a Touhou game (on Lunatic) he hasn't really played much. And you don't really have to be able to consistently 1cc games to play for score.

>>9769063
That's not skill, that's called talent. If you had it, you'd already be doing what you want. But you don't. Just practice the fuck out of these games like the rest of us do.

>>9769252
more like NAUTral talent, am I right?

haw haw

I start learning scoring strategies right after I get a handle on a game. I don't bother going for crappy 1ccs any more.

>>9769063
>What I mean is, I want to get my skill level to the point to where I can 1cc any STG on my very first few runs and start playing for score and devising scoring routes right away.
I don't think that's a hard goal. You just need to keep practicing. What you are describing is nothing but general bullet-dodging skill. There's no better way to improve that than to continue playing.
>You know how people like Riz and .asp can do shit like that?
I wouldn't be afraid of hunting down some high-profile scores in UFO, but I wouldn't be confident much farther than that. .asp has a higher chance of doing what you described since he plays a bigger variety of games and has been playing for a longer time. Either way, I don't think it's fair to compare us like that. We have very different styles of play.

Although, to be honest, I think that anyone can take any score or achievement they want as long as they work hard enough for it.
>>9769200
>The background experience, will, on the other hand help you improve faster at new STGs.
I agree with this.
>I bet it would still takes Riz several dozen (if not hundred) hours of practice to start consistently 1ccing a Touhou game (on Lunatic) he hasn't really played much.
Do you really believe this?
>And you don't really have to be able to consistently 1cc games to play for score.
I don't think that score is very valuable if you can't clear the game.

>>9769265
>I don't think that score is very valuable if you can't clear the game.
Score is an objective measurement of skill in these games, so no.

>>9768837
Coming back on with 1CC SA attempts.

>>9769265
>Do you really believe this?
Yes, I really do. If ZUN released a new game right now, it would take you several dozen hours (if not at least 100) of playing it until you start clearing it on Lunatic every try.

>>9769301

That would depend, I guess, but I seriously doubt that. Clearing it blind or in the first couple plays, probably not. But getting a regular survival clear down solid wouldn't take 100 hours or even close. Riz isn't an ultimate shmup savant who can do anything with ease but he's still more than competent enough to clear a new Lunatic unless it's exceptionally more difficult than every other game so far.

it's moot. you can't know because you aren't riz. riz can't know because the game hasn't been made

play the games so you can get better instead of wondering what it's like to be better

>>9769396
Yes. I was somewhat silly and tired. Why do you ask?

"what would happen if the games were designed without score systems in mind from the beginning. If they set out to deliver the same tension and action and the only reward you got from it was the action experience in itself as well as the sense of progressing through an adventure. No juggling medals on unicycles meanwhile collecting as many sandals and breads as possible in order to turn them into Pogs and reflect them onto a bunch of pigs which you then have to milk until the end of time. "

>>9768651
Oh yeah. Now that it actually matters to me, I gotta ask about that one UFO token dropped by the fairy right before Nazrin midboss. Half the time it flies off the top of the screen during her midboss spell, half the time it starts moving towards me like it should. Why's it do that? It's so unpredictable.

>>9768580
>sikraiken fakes his scores

He probably doesn't want anybody to see his replays because they'll just use his strategies.

>>9770187
You just need to learn how to time it. Keep in mind that the tokens are completely determinant on your actions. Getting close to the token to keep it from changing also helps, but you still need to focus on damaging Nazrin. Using the music to time the fairy is also a good idea.

>>9770240
Watching sik's plays is a waste of time.

Just got my first 1cc, MOF Normal with ReimuA. Feels good.

>>9770283
Nah. He usually has one of, if not the best western score in whatever game he's playing. There may be better Japanese replays out there, but let's face it, it's 10x easier to copy the best western players than the best Japanese players.

>>9770537
So... a waste of time?

>>9770548
Maybe if you're of the number-one-or-bust school of thought.

>>9770548
No, because videos that aren't WR quality can be more useful to people that aren't going for a world record. Take DoDonPachi Dai Ou Jou for example. The stuff that superplayers do is insanely difficult and far beyond the reach of any of us, but a lower level replay could show some patterns that are much safer while still earning a lot of points.

>>9770548

It's a waste of time because you can't watch something that doesn't exist~ and his Daioh replay doesn't seem to show actually good survival strategies. It'd be detrimental to try and copy it, I think.

This is amazing, a sikraiken falsificare discussion on /jp/, even.

>>9770497
Congratulations anon-kun! Keep going for more 1ccs!

>>9771092
Thanks man, I will.

>>9769265
>I don't think that score is very valuable if you can't clear the game.
I disagree, the best part of STGs is scoring unless the game has huge end game bonuses (mushi original, V-V, etc) focusing more on survival than scoring is pointless and your just gonna have to relearn the entire game when you go back to play for score

Anyone wanna stream?

>>9771903
Yep, playing for survival is really boring to me now. If game doesn't have a deep/complex scoring system, then I don't care about it.

>>9771903
>the best part of games is everything outside the game

>>9772796
>scoring is outside the game

This is what people who don't understand the concept of scoring systems actually believe.

>>9772796
The scoring system IS the game.

>>9771903
Also most games only award extends for reaching certain score milestones. Actually want that 2nd extended in DFK? Learn to score.

Hell, I got my first 1cc in Touhou after figuring out MoFs system to a certain degree.

>>9772796
There was a time in the old days of arcades (which Touhou takes a lot of inspiration from) when scoring was the whole point of why you played. It rewarded you with things like lives and even new power-ups and levels. So many game players now ignore the score, they see it as some meta thing that doesn't matter. Yet when games have some sort of currency or other point system that rewards you with lives, these people seem to enjoy it. Hello? That's exactly what scoring is!

>>9772861
>Actually want that 2nd extended in DFK? Learn to score.
you act like scoring is difficult in DFK
or that you actually need that 2nd extend

>>9772877
It is when you don't know about the hyper multiplier. And I might be mistaking the game where people didn't get the 2nd extend during a 2-loop game.

>>9772877
>you act like scoring is difficult in DFK
so I guess you've gotten at least 75% of the WR, right?

>>9772869
>There was a time in the old days of arcades when scoring was the whole point of why you played
Score is more important now than ever. Cave builds their games around complex scoring systems; if you ignore the scoring systems, you're ignoring the game.

>>9772899
I mean, most games before 1995 didn't even have scoring systems. They could be summed up as "shoot the enemies and don't die". Or if they were really daring, there would be some shiny medals for you to collect as well.

>>9772892
Probably. It's very possible to get the second extend on the second stage of both 1.5 and BL.

>>9772899
Scoring to get extends, that is.

The only way I can play DFK is by disappointing David Lynch, anyways.

>>9772905
Uh, I don't think you know what you're talking about. Even Pacman has a scoring system. Galga has a fucking risk-reward system. And both games are older than dirt.

A while ago I posted about never getting past the first stage of a touhou game in 6 years of playing. Well earlier I beat a stage 1 boss (Rumia). I gloriously followed up by dying 30 seconds into the 2nd stage and running out of continues.

I think this was a once in a lifetime thing for me.

>>9772905
Is this a troll?

>>9772938
He means in a "if I do something slightly different than normal, I get a way bigger score" way.

>>9772938
Pretty sure he meant scoring systems beyond "shoot the enemies and don't die".

Since, y'know, that's exactly what he said.

>>9772950
>Since, y'know,
faggot!

>>9772963
?

>>9772905
there not quite as simple as just "shoot the enemies and don't die" it's more about optimizing milking spots and knowing which power ups to use to be able to destroys more enemies or parts of scenery, there's also picking the best places to suicide if the game has checkpoint milking but those kinds of scoring systems destroy the new kids plaguing the genre these days.

>>9773003
Braindead simple scoring systems don't destroy anybody.

>>9773003
>>9773258
yeah man, Mushihimesama Original mode actually destroys everybody in comparison to Cave's complex games. Milking everything extra hard for those extra 5 million points that WR players get is for real men.

>>9773258
and yet they're the ones the "best" western players can't get near the WR in

>>9773405
No, they're the ones the "best" western players don't care about because they're already busy learning more complex games.

>>9773395
wall, gaeplay label

Believe it or not, or not, lots of people play for fun. They're not missing out on half the game just because they don't play for score, they're just doing what they want to do. Some people have more fun playing for survival than for score; so be it.

>>9774292
Score or survival, there is nothing "fun" about STGs, other than maybe some music, and ZUN's dialogue.

>>9774292
>Believe it or not, or not, lots of people play for fun.
oh god not this shit again, everyone plays for fun unless you're a professional being payed to play you're playing for fun and why do you think people like WTN and SWY got to be as good as they are because they had fun playing and enjoyed the games enough to keep pushing and become the best. not because they have less fun then some high school kids that can't even be arsed to learn to play the game

That's not true. I play for suffering.

>>9775777

I also play for fun btw

>>9775777
Stop lying, we all know that you play for penis-shaped bullet patterns.

I play it for the Touhous.

How does this make you feel, /jp/?

LNBNV 3/6!

>>9776081
I don't see anything odd.

>>9776106
It's the same person being #1 and #2, you dummy. Royalflare rules stand that you should not have several scores under the same borad.

>>9776106
>LNBNV 3/6!
Lunatic no bomb no vertical movement?

>>9776109
If you could read, you'd know why he has both of those replays there.

>>9776113
Lunatic no-bomb no UFO. The V is what Japan uses to refer to UFO tokens.

>>9776135
Didn't know you were Japanese

>>9776139
I'm not. I just interact with people from Japan while playing these games, so I've happened to adopt the notation.

Congratiulations, Riz. Get SanaeB already.

Any streams?

>>9776106
Congrats!

>>9776106
Congratulations! With an extra life too!

Oh jesus why did I play this.

Their 4th tier of difficulty "Divine" was still easier than MoF normal modo.

>>9776281

Divine, easier than normal? What are you crazy?

Try Judgement if you think that's too easy.

>>9776106
Sugoi and GJ!

>>9776281
I thought the same thing when I played DDP. That first loop might as well just be called PCB Normal: The streaming edition.

What a scrub game. At least CAVE smartened up with Ketsui, now that's a fun game.

what are decent scores to aim for in normal mode, I was thinking
EoSD - 150M
PCB - 1B
MoF - 1B
GFW - 25M

>>9776161
I am planning on getting SanaeB next. I might stream in about 10 hours.

Nah, it's better if it's in ten hours. I get time to sleep first.

>>9777349
That's how I felt after I lost a perfect Shou by running into a spawning laser on the last card and losing a perfect Byakuren by dying twice to DR.

>>9777367

The funny part is that I was just goofing around until I realized that I could do something serious...

>What a scrub game.
post scores pls

>>9777683
I'm that 98M scrub who always game overs on 2-4 because I am a scrub who can't even beat a scrub game. You can laugh now, Bell. I know you've been waiting for it. ;_;

I can't get DDP to run. I download DDP MAME Rom but it can't run because missing CHD file. Then i download DDP3 MAME Rom but it doesn't appear in MAME menu to choose. Then i download DDP PSX Iso but using ePSXe i can only get a black screen. How ?

>>9778197

Are you using ShmupMAME?

Streaming for a while: http://www.livestream.com/stouhou

>>9777390
That happens sometimes. You just have to stay focused.
>>9778197
I second >>9778416.

>>9776149
let us know when you get the skin grafts

Could someone stream?

>>9776149
Funny. I like the sugarcoating you put on your words. Using royalflare and following some blogs sure is some serious interaction. But yeah, simply saying "I saw some Japanese players use it" would heavily understate that "interaction."

For some reason I seem to do better at my school than at home. It's either the membrane keyboard compared to my mechanical one, or the taller screen. I wonder... Better invest in a new screen. :V

How the heck do you actually take misdirection down without bombing? Actually surviving it is not really an issue, but squeezing the damage is tricky.

That extra 1UP is important.

>>9781660

Playing some UFO.

http://es-es.twitch.tv/oskarvanbruce

>>9782316
Uh, is your stream offline?

>>9782316

at last! the sound is working!

I wonder if I'll ever get good enough to stream for /jp/... oh well ;_;.

>>9782725
You do not need to be good to clear the games. The guy who streamed on last friday could not clear PCB normal. Nobody bullied him about it.

>>9782725
You don't need to be good to stream. The guy who streamed last friday was unable to clear PCB normal, and nobody bullied him about it. Lots of people have struggled with normal modes while streaming, but I have hardly seen any complaining about that.

>>9782725
Mic and you're good.

>>9782775

I'm streaming and I'm that guy ;_; (or so I think)

>>9782785
Which of the two people who streamed last friday you are?

streaming UFO now in the stream above

>>9782769
>>9782777
O-Okay. I might do it with another /jp/sie for moral support.

>>9782810

I was playing PCB with Marisa A on normal (?)

>>9783120

I'm the other guy, I was using MarisaB.

Came back next day, failed Marisa again, did something else. Tried ReimuB for a lark and cleared the fucking thing.

anyone up for a stream?

>>9781793
That depends on both of the keyboards and both of the screens. It could also just be your imagination.
>>9782725
I don't think you need any skill level to be entertaining. In fact, some people might prefer watching lower-skilled players. I streamed before I could beat Normal mode and I entertained people.

>>9783207
>before I could beat Normal mode.

You liar. How long did it take you, anyway? Most people seem to get their Normal 1ccs within three days or less. A friend of mine preaches the whole, "If you can't 1cc a game on Normal within a week, you shouldn't be playing these games." philosophy. It makes me feel bad because it took me nearly three months to 1cc SA Normal, and a little over two years for a DDP 1-ALL... Which he managed to 1-ALL and loop within five months of starting the game.

>>9784640

>>9769356

>>9784640

It depends, it's not really all about months or weeks or whatever, it's more about actual time spent. It took me a year and a half for my first 1cc, but when I looked back at the time I spent on the games I had only barely clocked 30-35 hours total across all the games. But yeah, if a game is enjoyable, play it, don't let someone else get you down.

>>9784716
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oomCIXGzsR0&t=1m

>>9784640
Took me about a good month to get my 1st normal 1cc, and that was with playing half an hour to 2 hours a day.
Over half a year later I've 1cc'd all the windows games on lunatic, I think your friend is being a bit silly.

Is IN really so easy? Because it looks like im gonna 1cc it on normal soon, but all those people saying that its easy make me want to give up this game and go on something harder.

>>9785064

It's not THAT easy. At the very least I'd say it's harder than PCB and TD but that's just me.

>>9785064
If you are going to 1cc it soon, why not do it, then move on? There is no game and difficulty not worth playing unless you are good and playing for score, and the game in question has shitty scoring mechanics

>>9785064

Stop bombing and you'll see if it's easy.

I'm trying to beat MoF luntic with no deaths but I always end up screwing up on stupid shit on stage 5. I honestly think it's actually possible for me, but dying so far in the game hurts my motivation.

Best I have done is one death at stage 6 against Kanako's second spell.

>>9785064
try capturing marisa's last spell

I updated my graphics card and now PCB crashes my computer at the "girls are preparing and trying their best" screen.

One of those days, man.

>>9785155
Are you running it in 98/ME compatibility mode?

>>9785064
What makes IN easy is that you can practice a specific card, you don't have to redo the whole fucking stage fifty times for no reason.
So if you don't use the practice mode, the difficulty is normal.

>>9785159

>>9769356

>>9785158
I really have no idea, but you've given me a good place to start googling, thanks.

>>9785158

>>9785222 again. Yeah, that did it, thanks a lot.

I just beat Remi on Normal.

I'm just so happy right now.

>>9785233
for future reference check the intended OS/platform and adjust compatibility settings accordingly. 7 8 and 9 are 98/ME, 13 is win7/vista iirc.

>>9785252
Funny, I just beat Remi on Normal too!

Two continues though, #FML

>>9785265
I did it on 3 continues, 3 lives left.

I maybe garbage, but I'm progressing garbage.

>>9785159
No, what makes IN easy is the absurd deathbombing window. You basically have a minimum of 9 "lives".

>>9785274

For me it makes it harder. I dunno why, every time I get hit I'm thinking oh god why did everything stop holy crap then I die. In other games I can usually deathbomb at the right time but it doesn't click with me in IN. Even when I manage to do it, it uses two bombs instead of one.

just beat EoSD on normal

nnnnnghhhhhhh

I just tried to use lives and bombs as sparingly as possible and used like 6 bombs on red magic

god that card sucks

One more card until I unlock Lv Spoiler in DS. How hard is Spoiler compared to the rest of the game?

>>9784640
>You liar. How long did it take you, anyway?
It took me about 4-5 weeks of playing to beat Normal mode. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it took me two months at max to beat Normal mode. I played mostly UFO and EoSD at the time.
I beat UFO Normal (with SanaeA) for the first time in this stream: http://archive.foolz.us/jp/thread/7366964/#7367376
>Most people seem to get their Normal 1ccs within three days or less.
Nonsense.
>A friend of mine preaches the whole, "If you can't 1cc a game on Normal within a week, you shouldn't be playing these games." philosophy.
That's ridiculous.
>It makes me feel bad because it took me nearly three months to 1cc SA Normal, and a little over two years for a DDP 1-ALL... Which he managed to 1-ALL and loop within five months of starting the game.
I don't think you are comparing yourself fairly. There is a a lot of variables that can go into those dates. Everyone plays at their own pace. I'm not convinced at all that you are improving slowly at all.
>>9785140
Bomb more.
>>9785435
It sounds to me like you were just nervous.

>>9785450
Well, yeah. I managed all the shit I normally have to bomb on (marionette, eternal meek) without bombing and I really had to finish the game. Might as well just go for the clear now and think about perfecting it later..

>>9784640
You're not slow.

>>9782278
Stop moving so much.

>>9785449
Meeting the requirements to unlock it already means you won't have any problem with any of it.

Anybody streaming?

Going to emulate dreamcast.

The question is:
NullDC or Chanka?

The other night I managed to get to Remilia's last spellcard while fully paying attention to a tv show going on in the background, and now that I'm trying again without being distracted I keep fucking up.

>>9785565
>Stop moving so much.

Uh, that's exactly the problem. I'm simply not under Sakuya enough to drop that one to 0.

>>9785090
playing games with crap scoring systems can be fun, that's why STGT's so popular

>>9785435
I find scarlet shot or some of patchys cards way more difficult than red magic, then again, I have no problem with scarlet gensokyo on hard either

>>9786288
you can move as you please after she throws those kunais out, also the spell doesn't really have a lot of hitpoints

>>9785086
>harder than PCB
playing on easy are you?

>>9786288
Any shot at full power can just stay on one side and capture it. On Lunatic it might be better to start on the left side and go to the right before the second wave just to finish her off faster though.

Many hours in paint and stuff. I'm sure someone else can give a replay if this isn't detailed enough (standing still and staying around the general area the entire time)

>>9786645

I seriously think PCB is the easiest main Touhou game on Normal. I don't think Youmu is that bad, but then again I still never figured out how to beat half of Reisen's spellcards. That and I found Yuyu to be eaiser than Kaguya, the only part of IN that's easy compared to PCB is stage 4, but that may be because I'm so used to the Reimu fight, I really adore it.

>>9786678
Reisen's spellcards are trivial when you know how to do them. Both the midboss spellcard and 200 yojana are quite tough for normal spellcards on youmu. Also the nonspells are brutal for normal difficulty.
Kaguya has two hard cards imo, swallow's cowrie shell and dragon tooth necklace, and the latter is very short.
Yuyuko's only hard part is the reflowering on normal and maybe the knife nonspell, but she isn't that much easier.

>>9786706

I thought it was the non-cards that were harder when it came to Youmu, but still not as terrifying as some other stage 5 bosses. I remember capturing most of if not all of her cards at least once, while Reisen has Idling Wave to always mess me up. As for stage 6, I've never captured any of Kaguya's spellcards. Only stage 6 boss that I can think of that I haven't managed to do that besides Eirin, and even though route A isn't mandatory to 1cc she's the scariest stage 6 boss I've faced so far. That'll probably change on whatever day I finally get to play Lunatic though.

>>9786706
also for both games the shottypes are very unbalanced. For normal 1cc I'd say the order of difficulty from easiest to hardest would be something like:
IN with border team
PCB with sakuya A
IN with scarlet/netherworld
PCB with other shottypes
IN with magic team

>>9786726

That probably makes me really weird. I still don't get how the border team is so great, I used scarlet team instead and got much better results, hell, I got better results with Reimu solo than the border team. That was more than a year ago, but it still baffled me. I beat PCB with both Sakuya A and Reimu B and prefer Reimu nowadays but I want to learn Sakuya B one day.

>>9786737


In terms of raw the SDM team wins over Reimu and Yukari but the homing shot of the Border Team is a great help on the stages and some specific parts of the game.

besides, Reimu can go through enemies familiars without being affected... not to mention the extra time for deathbombing.

>>9786737

In terms of raw power the SDM team wins over Reimu and Yukari but the homing shot of the Border Team is a great help on the stages and some specific parts of the game.

besides, Reimu can go through enemies familiars without being affected... not to mention the extra time for deathbombing.

>>9786777

Yeah, I hear great things about them but my damage always seemed bad even with the homing. The extra deathbomb time never really helped since I bomb when I get nervous to avoid anything too risky.

>>9786784

I suppose it's a matter of being used to one team or another.

But Sakuya's shot is extremely weak... it doesn't help when you are trying to milk an enemy/boss for "time points"

No bros streaming today?

Does anybody have a good DL for Immaterial and Missing Power?

The /rs/ links are absolute shit.

>>9787408
If you don't mind a first time streamer, I will later today.

>>9787439
Hell yeah! Do you have a mic?

>>9787449
Yeah, but I'm way too shy to talk on it.

>>9787456
Aww, c'mon. That's the best part. I'm sure you have a cute voice, and being shy and nervous just makes it better.

>>9787439

B-but, I can only be here 2 hours more anon-kun.

BTW, visit this page:

http://thelivegameshq.com/public/FME.html

don't use livestream though, because it only lets you stream 500 Kbs per second. use Justin.tv You can download a configuration file that they provide

>>9787456

I don't mind hearing you even if you are talking on your native language (asuming you aren't a native english speaker)

>>9787458
You're going to do lewd things with her voice...

>>9787408

Going to play some Ten Desires, I think. Was playing EoSD earlier and failing horribly.

>>9787487

YAY

>>9785450
>That's ridiculous.

I thought the same thing when he said it, but he was being completely serious. And no, I'm probably not comparing myself fairly at all. When I watch him play an STG, he always seems to move around in such a robotic fashion. It's like an art watching somebody who is decent play these games.

When I fight his Sakuya in IaMP and 12.3, he's also extremely robotic (and good.) It's scary as fuck playing against him in any game, including PoFV. Being able to no-miss more than two minutes in Ultra Lunatic is something that just shouldn't happen.

Still not giving up on UFO Hard, slowly getting there. That was a strange run, I started screwing up on Kogasa, but later captured some spellcards for the first time.

Also, I keep dying on Shou's first nonspell. Some tips?

>>9787988
Read it better or bomb. I can't do it consistently enough, so I opt for bomb.

>>9787988
Practice makes perfect :V

Please stream soon Exellent. I miss your pleasing voice and amiable personality.

>>9792052
This.

I got Ayayaya'd.

Stage four will ever be the death of me.

>>9792052
^

Someone, please stream.

>>9792278

streaming some TD normal.

http://es-es.twitch.tv/oskarvanbruce

Given how the other guy seems to have gone offline, any other people interested in streaming?

>>9792861

Are you still hankering after a stream? Anything in particular you'd like to see?

>>9793107
Not him but I'd enjoy a stream, nothing in particular.

>>9793115

Alright then. Let's play some IN.

>>9787487

>>9763485
Scarlet Devil Team IN, but Sakuya has her PCB shot type.

Or Border Team SA.

Died while she was blowing up. God fucking damn it ;_;

>>9793230
Shit happens. You'll have it next time.

>>9793230
Practice makes perfect ^_^ :V

>>9793160
Okay, stream up. TD at http://www.livestream.com/andradiffxi

>>9793297
pls keep bullying the :V spammers

>>9794077
Who said I was using :V ironically? I always use it seriously, just ask anybody over at #hisouten, #IaMP, #MBAA or #PoFV.

People who use :V are my blood brothers.

Anyone streaming touhou, /jp/?

1CC'd TD on normal
fuck yeahhhh

>>9794264
Magister doesn't even go to #PoFV. He never has.

>>9794298
I'm thinking about starting some streaming action quite often. What service is best? Livestream?

will there ever be another port that has all of futari's glorious visual options? i think not

>>9795160
Just ignore the scrub. He's obviously still pissed that he got fucked by Magister in every game. I'm sure he still loses to shit players like T and nameless in hisouten. Not only that, but uh, Magister was never good at STGs. A simple Ultra clear isn't what I could call good.

Even worse, his score in PCB was a measly 800M with MarisaB. Only a little bit above most survival scrubs.

>>9795374
scores pls

>>9795374
To clarify - the dumbfucks who will think I'm talking about Magister losing to T and nameless, I'm not. I'm rather talking about the guy who made the post imitating Magister.

As somebody who was imitated in another thread, it's insulting to have such trash players use your name in these threads.

>>9795393
Someone imitated me in the last thread too. I thought it was funny.

>anyone losing to T
I don't think anyone was at risk of misunderstanding your ambiguous pronouns.

>>9795197
I'd say Twitch.

>>9795393
Why are you trying to make a name for yourself when you're posting as anonymous?

>>9795197
This isn't working out well for me. ;_; I tried livestream but either my laptop or internet is too bad, and I have no idea how to go about using twitch. I don't think a 0.6megabits per second upload speed is good enough either.

>>9795758
Yeah, I don't think that's enough. I have a laptop too, and streaming would probably overheat it in a second.

>>9795790
Get a fan or something. I use a cheap 20-dollar one with my almost 3-year old laptop and streaming on twitch is relatively stable.

>>9795790
I guess I'm just destined to not entertain /jp/ with this then, at least until better internet is available in the area.

>>9795393
But you're a trash player too.

:V

:V

>>9793230
Finally did it the following morning. Now I can move on to TD and finish my chronological clear on normal.

Complete guide for streaming you 2hus:

1.st step:Go to this page and follow up the instructions for setting up the Flash Media Live Encoder and SCFH:

http://thelivegameshq.com/public/FME.html

2nd step: Go to your sound control panel. Go to options > properties and select audio imput. Make sure that "Stereo Mix" is selected. Now, the window should have changed and should be showing: general volume, line volume and Stereo Mix... select stereo mix. Close that shit.

3rd step: Now open the Flash Media Live enconder and scfh and set it like the webpage mentioned above says.

4th step: Go to twitch.tv and make an account. Once you are logged in, go a down a little and you should find a button with the title "become a broadcaster". Select and then, download the config file that Twitch tv gives you to configure the Flash Media Live enconder.

5th Step: Go to the Media live encoder and go to file > Open profile and select the Configuration file you donwloaded from Twitch.tv

6th Step: Set everything as you like in the video and audio options. You can even record the stream in a file on your computer. keep in mind the bandwidth needed for the stream and your connection capabilities.

7th step: Start streaming and go to your Twitch.tv channel to ensure that everything is working.


USUAL PROBLEMS:

- Lag in your game: change the resolution to the minimun, play on windowed mode, change color to 16 bits, play at halve the frames etc.

- No sound: upgrade your sound drivers. If it doesn't work, you are fucked.

>>9787988
That almost complete last life is just taunting me. At least I know I can do it.

>>9796901

Upgrade: To get your sound recording working, here is a solution.

Download Virtual Audio Streaming.

http://www.virtualaudiostreaming.net//

Open it and set it as the default sound playback device. Now go to Adobe Flash Media live enconder and set Virtual Audio Streaming as the sound recording device. You should start seeing movement on the sound bars on the side of the video example meaning that you are now getting sound.

>>9796875
Cool grats. Grats for TD as well, you're probably done with it by the time of this post.

>>9797059
On that note, plwease strweam /jp/ ;_;

I'm not playing very well at the moment, so I'll probably be taking it easy.
