woah dude

>>9855523
Yeah, they cap out after a 999 retries. During my SFN-shenanigans I was forced to play on three different score.dat files, so the statistics here don't show every attempt. I have something over 10,000 retries on the card, which is kind of sad. Life wasted, for some people. My life was already wasted so I didn't mind.

Anyone feel like streaming? Entered the stage 1 death restart loop, so I think I'm done playing for the day but I'd still enjoy watching someone.

how do i get motivated

>>9855986
Try to have fun.

>>9856022
but i can have fun doing things that don't require any effort

/jp/ streaming?

>>9856039
Then STGs aren't for you, get out.

Is there any way to reduce input lag for PC-98 games?
I'm using anex98 to emulate.

>>9857016
Send it to rms

>>9857016
why does everyone keep using anex86

>>9857028
That's what the Touhou game batch torrent has.

>>9857028
Because that's what comes with the games.

For the Linux users, XNP2 might become an option in future for native PC-98 emulation. Right now, no. The sound is absolutely horrible.

No late night Touhou stream?

I can't have sweet dreams ;_;

>>9856039
You shouldn't be searching for fun in STGs. Just like all semi-competitive and competitive games, you're only supposed to play to get good and to wave your dick and make other players feel like shit. Your motivation should be all of the attention whoring, cock sucking and ego boosting that you will get when you reach #pofv skill tier material. Ahh, I can imagine myself now, circlejerking on #pofv with the likes of T, asp and Naut and then gathering them up to call other players shitty and spam :V every comment on /jp/ and laugh at other bad players. This fact has been motivating me for years.

>>9857163
yep, this is 100% true

lol.

>>9857163
but i don't particularly like the attention i get. i haven't even been posting my latest scores because of it.

>>9857163
This is my main goal in life.

I just finished all my normal 1ccs but SA and started to practice Ran.
Why is charming siege considered a hard spellcard? It's about as hard or a little harder than devil's recitation normal imo.
I have like 15/20 record on it, much better than princess tenko or the banquet of doom and death, which I just don't understand, is it supposed to be just very hard pure dodging and reading?

>>9857833
>charming siege
I never understood how that one worked myself, it always seems to box me in.

>princess tenko
Just move away from where she teleports to, in a triangle pattern. It's pretty easy.

>banquet
If you mean Ran's second spellcard (#120) then hang out in the bottom-right corner during certain parts, it will be clear when.

Also most of Yukari's equivalent spellcards are easier, including those three. But the stage is a lot harder.

>>9857163
absolute truth

>>9857163
And i thought i was the only one like this

>>9857833
Charming Siege can randomly trap you. From what some /jp/s have said I think its reputation comes from people trying to score or perfect it who lose 1/3 of their runs to Ran moving downward.

Would some nice person stream some Touhou?

>>9859107

I just completed my very first 1cc of MoF on normal, and would like a general nudge in the right direction on what I'm doing "wrong." since you can just tell where I'm struggling with spellcards.

>>9859665
Nah, Western players just have egos the size of the moon, even if they're terrible. When you factor in leaderboards and tournaments with Westerners, you've got a recipe for disaster.

I think some of the worst STG players are those who tourneyfag in fighting games as well as STGs. Now they have some pretty damn huge egos.

My bad for biting to the samefagging butthurt-by-magister-kun. I will not do that again.

Does /jp/ ever play Touhou or other STGs in silence or with other music in the background?
I find it can make it a less stressful experience, because you don't hear the nasty sound when you die and you don't hear scary klaxons when Okuu turns up, for example.

Oh, yeah, you can't. Since those posts don't exist. I really don't understand what do you have against those three people, but please stop filling the threads up with this shit. It got boring after the first thread you filled up with it, now it's already annoying.

>>9859864
All the time. It makes me play much better and I'm less frustrated since I don't have to listen to the goddamn first stage theme all the time. It also makes the latter half of the game more relaxed so I play better there too, without excessive fidgeting.

And I wasn't complainng about less people watching. If people want to watch a stream then they should do it thenselves.

There are like 2 or 3 streamers for a "population" of 10-20 people that write in this thread.

>>9859963
Nindella had 30 or so the other night when I was in there. That was a fun stream.

>>9859783
tournaments are meaningless, but online leaderboards are perfectly fine. everyone in the world competes on the same leaderboards in xbox 360 and ps3 games, unlike community run forums and such.

>>9859963
>There are like 2 or 3 streamers
There's at least five, pshaw.

Anyhow, I don't see any requests but http://www.livestream.com/andradiffxi just in case, etc. Same as it ever was.

>>9859864
I always listen to the native sound. I lose a lot of my timing and I get distracted if I don't. The only time I can see myself listening to something else is if I'm doing something easy.
>>9859963
>There are like 2 or 3 streamers for a "population" of 10-20 people that write in this thread.
It's a lot more people than that, and not everyone that participates in the streams is active in the threads.

>>9860471
I never bothered posting in these threads until somebody on IRC notified me that they were sucking my dick.

>>9859864
All the time. The stage music gets really annoying after you've heard each stage theme about 8000 times, especially when you're always frustrated.

>>9859864

I can't do it. It can be less stressful at times, but without the sounds and the music I can't into the zone and win against even seemingly impossible odds.

PCB is such a fucking chore, christ.

>>9860931
What's so bad about it? It's kind of hard if you're playing for score, I guess.

I hope a nice /jp/er can stream soon.

Stop. Don't ruin my motivation.

Today, someone started a conversation with me. I ended up explaining some of my interests and giving him a copy of White Clear(C82), the Free Software song, and PCB. I almost gave him a copy of Touhou Sweets, but I decided not to push it. Did I do well, /jp/?

>>9860931

I'll do it tomorrow for sure, or maybe if I have time after I wake up.

>>9861688
What are your interests?

>>9861785
I would describe them briefly as Touhou and programming. I spend all of my time either dodging bullets or making bullets to dodge. I have some things I want to do but not much free time. I can't wait until I get more.

>>9861562
Naut, humble? Yeah, no.

T and dot_asp are pretty cool guys, actually helpful to new players. People like Magister and Naut, on the other hand, are not. Telling new players advice like, "stop being so bad." or "practice more gg scrub" isn't exactly good advice. Even more so when they just finish pummeling your asshole in a fighter and don't give any pointers after the match. Such meanie heads.

I don't see what I'm supposed to do here.

>>9864846
Dodge the lasers and bullets. The lasers are static.

>>9864854
Yellow curvy ones too? These usually catch me by surprise, I guess it helps if they are static too. Should I dodge vertically?

>>9864876
See the "Undefined Fantastic Object" text at the bottom right of the screen ?
Move below Nue and stay on the same line of that text. Dodge the bullets by moving a little to the left or right.

>>9864876
Yes, they're static. I don't really move vertically much, to keep myself out of reach of the yellow lasers, but a little vertical movement is of course expected, since movement along one axis is suicide.

>>9864883
I'll give it a try, thanks

>>9859107
Keep at it!

>>9864846
The green bullets are aimed. I usually do it by going up, then streaming down. You should look at some replays to see how others do it. It gets easier once you get it a few times. Also, try to take out a green UFO.

Hey, Shogun for android is pretty nice. It's better than Danmaku death, IMO.

Then stick with your favorite and grind away!

/jp/, I want your advice with jp-shmup. It seemed to go well in the stream, although there were a few strange bugs that weren't present before that I need to iron out. I'll be making sure to fix them shortly. I have a few changes that I've been meaning to change, but I'm not sure if they are good. First of all, I am thinking about removing the frame and making it look more like this: http://youtu.be/85bE4NlzrLE?t=34s

I did the math, and it turned out that the frame used 44% of the window. That's so much space that I could use for bullet-dodging action. One problem with this is that I wouldn't have any place to put UI elements such as the player's power or the score. I might have to embed them straight into the the game or put them right over the bullets. I don't like the idea of the player being able to touch the statistics while being in the game. Maybe this is a small complaint since it seems to work fine in other games, like ones by Cave. Another problem coming from this is that the window wouldn't be vertical anymore. It would be what we like to call a "vertizontal" shmup, since it would be vertically-oriented but wider than it is long. I could also make it more like the shooting games, or GFW, which would be a space in between.

Another thing I've been thinking about doing is changing the native resolution from 640x480 to twice that, which is 1280x960. This would allow me to have finer control of the graphics and some gameplay elements. The downside to this is that it would be detremental to performance and the higher resolution would prevent higher refresh rates on CRT's. Depending on my mood, I like to switch between 60, 85, and 120 hz on my CRT when playing Touhou. I would be stuck on 60hz with that kind of resolution, and I'd have to get a new CRT or modify my drivers to change it, which doesn't sound very convenient.

>>9866958
I dont pofv with anybody other than KB and i completely suck with marisa, i dont even know where you're coming from with this :/

>>9867476
I say keep the frame, it's annoying having to keep track of too much bullets. Also, I suggest leaving the resolution at 640 x 480 naturally, just give the player the choice to have a upscaled 1280 x 960 res in windowed mode. You shouldn't be caring about graphics at this point, and if you decide to change the resolution later on, it should be simple enough to do.

>stuck on 60hz with that kind of resolution
Wow, my LCD's manage 120hz at 1920 x 1080, and I always though that CRT's were superior.

>>9867612
Oh, I wasn't talking PoFV. I just play somebody in IaMP with the same name as you and I believed that it was the same Naut who plays STGs.

It never occurred to me that it might have just been an impostor. Eh, really can't say anything bad about the impostor Naut. He's just really damn good at fighters, which appears to be the case with most people who are nearing decent level at shmoops.

>>9867691
>I say keep the frame, it's annoying having to keep track of too much bullets.
I actually like having more bullets. I'm a little crazy like that. I can't get enough bullets... huhu. That's part of why I'm making this game. I need to satisfy my bullet craving.
>Also, I suggest leaving the resolution at 640 x 480 naturally, just give the player the choice to have a upscaled 1280 x 960 res in windowed mode.
I will probably the option between fullscreen and windowed.
>You shouldn't be caring about graphics at this point, and if you decide to change the resolution later on, it should be simple enough to do.
The engine is very close to being done, so I want to start focusing on graphics. Also, I don't know how changing the resolution would be simple. It would involve having to change all the sprites, move the UI items, rearrange the menus, changing the gameplay area with the border that holds the player in and culls the bullets, and having to rescript all of the stages and bullet patterns.
>Wow, my LCD's manage 120hz at 1920 x 1080, and I always though that CRT's were superior.
I think that it works a little differently between the two kinds of monitory. Even on 120hz with an LCD, you still have ghosting and you still can't change the native resolution on the fly. Also, I paid three dollars for this monitor, yours probably cost a fortune.

>>9867793
I used to play fighting games primarily while casually playing shmups on the side, but around a year ago I reversed that. I think [good] fighting game players can start learning shmups quickly because both genres require a similar mindset. Fighting games also take a LOT longer to become competitive at, so making progress faster in shmups can add to the appeal.

>>9867968
>move the UI items, rearrange the menus, changing the gameplay area with the border that holds the player in and culls the bullets, and having to rescript all of the stages and bullet patterns.
If you find yourself having to do that from simply changing the resolution, then you're probably programming it in the hard and unintuitive way. With DirectX and OpenGL libraries, it should be possible to implement those things in a generic way, so that you don't have to hard-code all of those things in your code making them resolution dependent. Unless you intend to make it so that the resolution affects the size of your play field and all, and not just how big everything looks. Speaking of which, are you using DirectX or OpenGL? Also, what language is this in?

>>9865325
>It's true.
It's not. The spell is random.

>>9867968
> Also, I don't know how changing the resolution would be simple.

Ne, Riz, do you have any experience in programming AI? The custom AI for IaMP and Hisouten makes me want to create one for PoFV or Melty, but I'd have no idea where to start.

I know it's kind of off topic, but that doesn't really matter. And yes, I know that making an AI for PoFV that doesn't cheat is probably next to impossible.

>>9870408

Did you read that guide I made to stream using SCFH and Adobe Flash Media Encoder?

Also, download the emulator and the games if you aren't using T-98 Next:

http://www.mediafire.com/?n8adld9sgqfnnpn

Finally, when you start the emulator go to Device manager, select "*GDH.nhw" and select setting. There you can set the window to be as big as 1200*800.

please more screenshots! I love looking at them.

>>9870437
>Ne, Riz, do you have any experience in programming AI?
Unfortunately not.
>The custom AI for IaMP and Hisouten makes me want to create one for PoFV or Melty, but I'd have no idea where to start.
Has anyone else done it before? And yes, making good AI is super hard.
>Did you read that guide I made to stream using SCFH and Adobe Flash Media Encoder?
I'm using Livestream, so I'm stuck with Procaster. Also, I've been using Anex86. I'll look into T-98.

>>9870668
of the bullet sheets.

>>9870711
Cherry tree.

>>9870668
>Has anyone else done it before?

Nope. The interesting thing about the IaMP custom AI is that it gradually learns as you play it more and more, making something like that for a bullet hell would be damn near impossible. But it'd be a fun little challenge to do. I can do simple stuff, but hell if I know what I'm doing as far as AI goes.

I tried a long time ago when one of the very first versions of SWR came out, but it never really went anywhere due to lack of knowledge.

>>9870768
>making something like that for a bullet hell would be damn near impossible.
I think that the AI for the fighting games would be a little more complicated. There are more things to learn in IaMP than PoFV.
>I tried a long time ago when one of the very first versions of SWR came out, but it never really went anywhere due to lack of knowledge.
Have you considered making your own game from scratch?

>>9870705
Why not play it yourself?

Finally cleared UFO normal with ReimuA.
It became a lot easier once I stopped caring too much about the UFOs.
Like MoF, SA and TD, I 1cc the game at the same time that I beat the final boss for the first time because I need more than 3 lives for that.
Lost my first life against Kogasa (most difficult stage 2 boss imo) and used 9 bombs on Byakuren alone (and 4 lives lost).

And with that, I have cleared in normal with one character all the games I wanted. Took me roughly two months (started during comiket when someone made a thread for the anniversary of the games).
My difficulty ranking would be:
MoF <<< TD < IN < EoSD < PCB < UFO <<< SA
I'd say that 6, 7 and 8 are pretty much the same but I enjoyed 7 less than 6 and 8 and no idea how long it took to beat 6.

I can now take it easy and try to beat an extra stage/replay everything in hard.

>>9870910
Gratz

>>9870910
>beat an extra stage

Yeah good luck with that if you can't even beat Byakuren on Normal.

And no, using 9 bombs and losing 4 lives is not something I would call beating a boss.
More like forcing your way through.
Too bad for you bombs don't work on Extra bosses.

>>9870961
Although UFO extra stage is hard, Nue is quite easy. I often lose 3-5 lives to Byakuren but i can beat UFO extra with 1-2 spare lives.

Almost got my first 1cc of a Touhou game on normal with EoSD. I actually lost my last life on Remilias last spell card, red magic. Absolutely tragic.

>>9870844
Hm, I suppose you're right. PoFV and IaMP both are fairly difficult games to program an AI for though. Both have random elements, so you have to factor in a bunch of different things. For IaMP, you need to program them to react to all of the things that a player can do. They'll need to punish accordingly, know when to use certain moves and so on. PoFV, you'd need to program them to react to some random things as well. I think the hardest part of programming a fighting game AI is actually making them competent, as in, knowing what to do in different matchups, rather than just randomly flailing about throwing out bullets.

And yes, I considered making a game myself. I'm just terrible at making graphics and game design in general. I've had much more fun making mods and whatnot.

I think people weren't excited because I was playing awfully and the stream was already coming to an end. I played it because Cave games aren't affected much by input lag.
>>9871929
Am I the only one here that liked this video?
>>9871966
>Not to mention 2hu being exposed to normalfags.
What's the problem with that? It won't affect the sanctity of our secret club.
>>9871974
>Eh, Mcroll has already done that.
A lot of us are here today because of that. I learned about Touhou from "Touhou Tuesdays" on /f/, but a lot of people come here from things like Dracil's IN Ex run, the Mushihimesama video, McRolled, and Bad Apple.
>>9871982
He doesn't need to because he's good at streaming and bombing.

>>9872053

>>9872053
>He's even worse than Exxelent.
That's not very nice. Exxel is a great player.

>>9872053

Bully alert!

>>9872048
I found the video amusing, even if most of his humor is just vulgarities.
I'd like to see another one, preferably UFO since maybe he'll think of creative ufo/cast jokes.

>>9872048
>It won't affect the sanctity of our secret club.

Yes it will! The more normalfags know about it the less fun and enjoyable it gets.

>>9872074
>The more normalfags know about it the less fun and enjoyable it gets.

I think you're playing Touhou for the wrong reasons.

>>9872066

Although as a literal truth statement it would still work to say "he's even worse than Riz" or "he's even worse than Heartbeam" without implying that either of you were bad.
I hope I have made Exxelent feel better with that clarification, it is scary to know that bullies walk among us even in these threads.

>>9872074
Fucking normalfags "what anime is this?"

>>9872074
Ironically enough, the better Touhou players on /jp/ are normalfags.

>>9872053
my only problem with Exxel is that has 0 desire to improve. he flat-out stated he was avoiding UFO and SA after 1CC'ing the easier games, and now he's "done with Touhou" after only clearing normal.

>>9872097

I think I missed several streams.
Where is he at now? Did he 1cc SA and UFO?

>>9872106
He's 1CC'ed all the games on Normal.

>>9872097
If he doesn't want to put too much time into playing Touhou, what's wrong with that?

>>9872110
More like bombed his way through them.

>>9872106
He's beaten all the games on normal, it's a great achievement, but only the first step towards being a super awesome lunatic touhou player.
There is still much left.

>>9872097
>0 desire to improve
Did you see him when he first started?

>>9872127
Still a 1cc.

>>9872074
Touhou fans are not necessarily /jp/sies, nor do they become so. We are a tiny portion of the Touhou fandom and some of the only people in the world that play these games. The chances of someone that has just been introduced to the fandom to even hear about us or much less, want to join us, is tiny. If you're talking about other places such as MoTK or YouTube, it would only be a drop in the bucket to the secondaryness you will find there.
>>9872076
>I'd like to see another one, preferably UFO since maybe he'll think of creative ufo/cast jokes.
This makes me curious.
>>9872077
I still think it's derogatory for the reason that you called out someone in specific and implied with the word "even" that he's almost worse than Exxel.

>>9872048
Is it really true that the majority of people here found out about Touhou from McRoll? I always thought that was just an inside "ironic" joke.

I first found out about touhou back around 2005 thanks to one of my shmupfriends from back in middle school.
I didn't have much interest in it at the time, being preoccupied with watching Rozen Maiden and then Kaibutsu Oujo and silly stuff like that.
Actually when I started with Kaibutsu Oujo I started paying attention a little more, playing on the computers at school occasionally, but I didn't start playing at home until I actually got a WinXP computer in 2008.
I started playing seriously in late 2010.

>>9872141
Are you fucking kidding me? You faggots only post on /jp/ to boost your stream views. It's kind of fucking embarrassing considering you've never done anything of note. Congrats on being the best of the worst.

>>9872090
maybe at one point in time

long, long ago

>>9872186
>Is it really true that the majority of people here found out about Touhou from McRoll?

I'm sure a good portion of us found it out by the good ol' Touhou hijacks, at least I did.
Makes me wonder if the early window games were discussed regularly on 4chan when they were released.

>>9872186
I found about Touhou from the massive amount of fanart and also Bad Apple. Didn't even know about McRoll until much later on.

>>9872209
Please don't bully, Riz is a really good player, he beat stage 3 UFO easy with No Bombs.

>>9872209
Riz gets $10 for every minute you watch his stream.

Streaming: not even once.

>>9872224
well I want to see YOU accomplish something like that, turbogay

>>9872209
I've been avoiding this thread, but I can't take this lying down

If I REALLY wanted to, I could monetize my stream; throw ads in, require you to subscribe to chat, all these things.
I post my stream on here because I want to entertain, and I only use my trip in this STG thread anyway, barring a couple misposts.

>>9872186
>Is it really true that the majority of people here found out about Touhou from McRoll? I always thought that was just an inside "ironic" joke.
I don't know if it's the majority, but I know that it's at least a few just from asking around.
>I started playing seriously in late 2010.
I started in early 2011. I remember playing some Runescape at the time and trying to learn some languages. I was making great progress in both of those, but then Touhou ate my life. I have been spending almost all of my time on it since then.
>>9872232
I get nothing. I do it for free. Who would pay me to stream?

>>9872272
I would pay you to stream for me 24/7 Riz-sama <3

>>9872284
You would have to pay me a lot so that I could support myself and not have to leave the house. Also, I would need to find a way to do it without lag or I would go nuts.

>>9872301
I would pay for your traveling expenses for you to visit me personally so I could watch you play Touhou.

>>9872315
Where are you? I could use a vacation.

Riz, show us your penis before you get the opration~

>>9872209
>You faggots only post on /jp/ to boost your stream views.
The only reason I ever stream in the first place is because /jp/ asks people to sometimes.
It's all for you, /jp/.

I 1cc'd Mystic Square on my first try, with Reimu.
But the lag did all the work.

>>9872328
East Coast in the US. How about you?

>>9872552
Chicago.

>>9872582
nice

I am tired and playing awfully right now. Good night, /jp/.
>>9872633
That means we're close, so just tell me whenever you want me to come over.

>>9872927
Chicago's not all that close to EC, I'd say I'm pretty far from the east coast but it's still 5 hours west to chicago.

Not that guy by the way. Though next summer I'll be in Chicago.

No streams?

>>9873811

I don't mind streaming, but I'm hella terrible at it. Plus, I'm not even sure if livestream works.

>>9873912
try Twitch

>>9873912
Twitch is way better. No annoying ads.

http://www.livestream.com/notapirate

I'm going to try livestream first,since i've already installed and configured it and whatnot. Tell me if it works.

>>9871758
No.

>>9872271
Do not quit Touhou yet, kid. You are far from being done with it.

>>9873930
>No annoying ads.
there are people still not using add block?

>>9873952

Thanks to everyone who came and watch.

I'll 1cc the damned thing then ext time, I promise.

Also, that means I don't have to wear a skirt, right? Right?

Streaming some more UFO

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

I have been working on and off for like two months trying to cap this card at 90FPS Ultra.

This is my letter of resignation, look at that number of shots. Fuck this shit.

>>9875078
Streaming UFO as well at http://www.twitch.tv/nindella

Alternating between Oskarvanbruce and myself with a little challenge thing.

>>9875157
That's crazy, dude. Try something easier for once. Like GFW Lunatic no Ice.

It's no coincidence that practically every streamer is a tripfag and has some other kind of thing like youtube or twitter that they try to shove down peoples throats. These threads are an ideal base for gaining viewers for that shit and the tripfags are using it as a foundation to become an internet personality or whatever. Not that they'll go anywhere, but it's obnoxious all the same.

>>9875400

We like watching other people play... that's all.

>>9875400
There have been at least 9 streamers within the last five threads. Only three of those have used a tripcode. And I've never seen anyone advertising their Twitter or Youtube via streams.

>>9875157
How far did you get in your best play?

What is an acceptable slowdown rate?
I just 1cc'ed Ten Desires with Reimu and 3.1% slowdown and I already skip half the frames.

>>9875658

I nearly lost this image. Hasn't been on my computer in a while.

Also, I have gotten here once. ONCE.

>>9875970

How old is your computer that you are getting 3.1% slowdown?
I think the 'acceptable' slowdown is 5%, but that still seems very high to me.

>>9875970
>What is an acceptable slowdown rate?
It's generally going to be 5% or less to be a legitimate replay, but you still want it to be as low as possible.

Any advice on running Touhou in Linux? WineDB and the shrinemaiden forums say you can run most of them without huge problems, but I downloaded MoF and I can't even open it. This is depressing, I can't switch back to windows for unrelated reasons. What am I doing wrong?

>>9876465
>I can't even open it
Right -click the application and be sure it's set as 'run as a program' or something like that.

>>9876480
Thanks, but that's not it.

This is what I get when I try to open MoF:

>>9876520
Something major is screwed up. MoF should run even on old versions.

Do you get accelerated 3D? Can you run any other apps with wine? Do you have some unusual video/audio setup? Does glxinfo output look OK? Did you try removing the .wine directory? Running from the terminal (just wine th10.exe)?

And heck, are you sure it's not just a random trojan you got?

>>9874530
Yes.

>>9876465
First of all, are you running Wine? If so, make sure it's the latest version.

This is what I use to run the game: LANG="ja_JP.UTF-8" wine vpatch.exe

It helps to run setcap cap_sys_ptrace+epi /usr/bin/wineserver so that the vpatches run correctly.

Oh nice the text bugs are fixed.

>>9876520
That's not really helpful. What Wine version are you running (Run -> winecfg, I am on 1.4.1) and what does "glxinfo | grep Direct" give you?

>>9876601
>Oh nice the text bugs are fixed.
Mainstream wine got a DIB engine. All sorts of text issues like those got fixed.

>>9875970
I think royalflare says less than 3%
western scoreboards allow 5%

Stream yourself tourneyfagging in IaMP, I'm sure you'd pick it up very easily seeing as how you were able to 1cc SA Lunatic on your first try.

>>9877463
But IaMP is shit, at least tell him to play 12.3.

>>9877543
IaMP and 12.3 are both shit games though. Just wait for 13.5 or play GG.

And gj to the player in that picture, opening up with a 6D3B. Bravo, scrub king, bravo.

I've been playing for 8 hours and I've only made it up to Murasa once. This is not my day.

I am totally not in the mood to play, but I don't know what else I can do.

>>9878256
Nindella is reading things

>>9878281
yes, everybody get in the stream

Exxel, where are you? We miss you and we want you to stream for us. If you got abducted by aliens, then we are getting ready to rescue you, unless they took you to Gensokyo. If so, then please arrange for our visit.

>>9879252
I suppose everyone missed the part where I said I would be streaming tomorrow.

Streaming UFO for my first normal 1cc


http://www.livestream.com/notapirate

I have the first 4 shots memoed, but this dense part keeps killing me. I'll have to watch some replays for it.

I've been playing all day and my hands are starting to hurt, so I'll call it a night. I miss this feeling and I would like to experience it more often. I kind of miss when I could play for 15+ hours per day regularly.

I got impregnated by Orin

Is there any patch for EoSD to increase the number of lives in Practice ?

>>9881240
I'd like a patch to reduce the number of lives in Practice to 3 in the other games.

>>9881169
>I got impregnated by Orin

>>9879908
I still have those 40 hour marathons whenever I really feel like improving. Pretty much any time a new Touhou or CAVE game comes out, I'll play for 60 hours straight with few breaks, of course.

My hands have never started hurting.

>>9881240
You can always use Cheat Engine, but you really don't need anymore than the default lives unless you're planning on dying 9+ times on that stage.

What times do people usually stream? I always seem to miss them every time.

>>9881576
>not being on /jp/ 24/7

>>9881480
>You can always use Cheat Engine, but you really don't need anymore than the default lives unless you're planning on dying 9+ times on that stage.
You can only have 3 lives in EoSD practice.

No streams? I'm so bored right now!

>>9881975
I would stream if I knew how. Sorry Anon-san.

>>9881975
The "cure" to your boredom is here! >>9860112

Once more, with gusto.

So, I did a little challenge with a friend of mine - perfect Stage 2-5 of DOJWL. Whoever does it first wins. Seeing as how I have far more experience with the game, you'd think I'd win, no?

Well, of course not. It takes me eight hours straight to perfect it. Where as he ends up perfecting it within 30 minutes. I'm both salty and disgusted at my lack of skill.

Today, i capture 4 StB spellcards in 2 hours. Not so bad. 1 card from Flan, 2 from Suika and 1 from Yamaxanadu. The one from Yama (10-6) took me more than 1 hour.

A year ago, i had to abandon StB because i couldn't get past Chen and i thought i will never beat it. I just got back to it this month after 1cc every other games on Normal. Now i'm just a few more cards away from finishing the game. Feel good man.

>>9882205
perfect meaning NMNB until the credits roll?

>>9882205
>salty

No wonder you are shit. If you are in any way associated with the FGC you will be trapped within the limbo between primary and secondary, forever boasting of your hardcore exploits while lamenting your lack of skill.

Begone, nerd.

>>9882809
But fighting games are harder to play than shmups.

I decided to try this game since everybody seems to praise it for being so deep and hardcore.

It was kind of fun, but too bad! I'm shitty at STGs. I died with bombs in stock twice on Stage 1-4, and once with a hyper at Stage 1-5 boss... Game Over when he was at about 60% health. I can probably 1-ALL it within my next few attempts, but there probably isn't any point in playing if I'm never going to clear the second loop.

>>9882363
"more than one hour"? Is that supposed to mean something. How many shots?

http://www.twitch.tv/eldestructoe

Eld is streaming.

>>9882885
The second loop isn't much harder than the first.

Streaming some Touhou, probably for an hour or so, open to requests!

http://www.twitch.tv/nindella

>>9884173
Refresh chat you fool.

>>9883096
Oh, is it? I've always heard that the second loop was mainly designed for masochists, and on the other hand, I've heard that it's about as hard as IN Lunatic. I don't know who to believe. To be frank, the only reason why I even made it that far was possibly because I had played the living shit out of DDP before it. I still like DDP far more than DOJ, but maybe that will change.

>>9884195
He's probably too busy reading those #mizuumi chatlogs or something. Just kidding, I love him even if he does shit all over my achievements.

It's not. It's fun.

Which difficulty is this? Also, keep in mind which game you're playing. Post a replay for us to help you.

>>9888220
Learn the fundamentals of STGs, it isn't that hard. And just remember, practice makes perfect! :V Shy was able to 1cc UFO Lunatic on his first try because he has really solid STG fundamentals, you can do it~

And don't forget to copy superplays.

>>9887168
I just try PoFV Lunatic after a long time not playing it. I manage to survive until 1:48 with Marisa against Aya. Then i try Normal and i beat it with ease. Then i realize i was playing it on 90 FPS.

00:30 PoFV Lunatic, that's easy modo.

I haven't played in about 6 months and now I can't even clear PCB Stage 1 (lunatic) without dying.
How long will my bullet-dodging skills take to return?

>>9888412
It won't take very long, maybe three or so throwaway shit runs.

>>9888412
even i can clear PCB stage one lunatic and i've never seen a good ending

just watched a Japanese guy beat the ura loop in Ketsui on a stream. I celebrated with him ;~;

>>9888273
It's not fun at all. ;_;

>>9888327
>Which difficulty is this?
Normal.
>Also, keep in mind which game you're playing.
Um... UFO, right?
>Post a replay for us to help you.
There's really no point. It just sometimes creates those impossible to get past by walls, especially at the end and since she has tons of HP and I usually got like 1 power, she just keeps killing me over and over again.

>>9888358
I 1ccd all of the touhou games so I suppose I do have at least some STG experience.
That's the only card which I have trouble with.
I can get past it if I spam bombs and even captured if a few times but still haven't figured out the way to get past it consistently.

>>9888574
The spell changes phases depending on the damage you do to her. It's static otherwise. Anyway, you can move a bit to the side to dodge those harder waves, you have more room there.

>>9888635
But it's not static at all. Everytime the positions, directions and speed of the waves is different.
The worst part is when the purple ones start mixing in with the reds, it creates this impossible clusterfuck.

>>9888711
It's aimed static. If you're in the same places every time, fire at her with the same power every time, it's the same every time.

>>9888386
>Then i realize i was playing it on 90 FPS.
This happens to me all the time.
>>9888412
I don't think it will take long.
>>9888468
This anon is talking about not dying.
>>9888491
Japanese live streams are fun. I like watching people break WR's or do crazy challenges.
>>9888574
Maybe you need to stand higher? There shouldn't be many dense waves on Normal mode. If you aren't used to the spellcard, bring bombs and lives.
>I can get past it if I spam bombs and even captured if a few times but still haven't figured out the way to get past it consistently.
It's hard to explain. You just need to practice it more. You should also watch some replays, including mine.
>>9888711
It's statically aimed and damage-based. If you do it the same way every time, which is extremely difficult, it will be the exact same every time. While it won't be the exact same every time, you can memorize a lot of it so that you know what to do in tight spots.

>>9888952
I've seen on your replay that you dodge it by moving to both sides. I usually just stick to one.
How do you know whenever to dodge it by moving to the left or right?

>>9889110
It really doesn't matter. I always dodge left, and it works. Just stick to what's comfortable for you.

Fuck EoSD Marisa. I beat Flan every time with Reimu but lost 30 times this week with Marisa. My runs always end just a few seconds before clearing 495 years. Why can't Marisa just move and graze like Reimu ?

>>9860112
Another night, same as it ever was.

>>9893084
watch replays made by people better than you. Marisa has a really easy flan since her power trivializes 495 years, even though it's already pretty easy.

>>9893445
Never mind, i beat it. I still lost a life to 495 years, a life to Cranberry trap and another to Starbow break.

Well, at least through those failures, i managed to increase my capture rate for Maze of Love to over 90%.

Can someone spoonfeed me?

>>9893517
>i managed to increase my capture rate for Maze of Love to over 90%.

Mine's at about 5% I think.

>>9893535
I haven't captured it once yet.

Everyone tells me that Flandre is easy but I can't make any progress at all.

What I want to know is...After playing Great Fairy Wars, how can you NOT think Cirno is the strongest?

>>9889110
Both work, and it depends on a lot of things. I know just by looking at the pattern and seeing where to biggest gap is. I usually don't need to do this.
>>9893525
Yes. What do you need help with?
>>9893535
I don't think you have played enough to draw that statistic.
>>9893618
I'm pretty sure Maze of Love is static.
>>9893627
Canonically, the game that you see is largely a figment of Cirno's imagination.

>>9893707
>I don't think you have played enough to draw that statistic.

That's why I said 'about'.

Just checked and it's actually 8/72 so that's like what 11%? Still pretty bad.

Gonna go down as the 2hu slasher. Killed my neighbour for ringing my doorbell during my first 1cc. Lost my last life on the last spellcard too. His fault, no regrets.
