So I tried playing Fairy Wars for the first time.

Fairy Wars isn't that bad if you know what you're doing.
It's more about planning when to freeze and timing it right, something you don't get it the other games.
But given how much resources the game showers you with, it may be even easier to 1cc FW on Normal than any of the other games.

It's a different style of difficulty you haven't become accustomed to. Fairy Wars is closer to Shoot the Bullet/Double Spoiler than a traditional shooting game, so you have to figure out the correct timing on bullet cancelling in order to survive. What you're basically saying is "I can run 3 miles without stopping, why is rock climbing so fucking hard?"

Ah, damn. That's impressive to me. I still got a long way to go to be anywhere near good at these games then. At least it's fun.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10651395
Simple took me almost no time at all. Original was probably about 20-25 hours with Type-I, the last 5 or so were after a year or so of not playing. Unlimited took maybe 10 hours with Type-Z. Doesn't sound like much but Unlimited 1cc is really easy once you learn how to abuse your bombs and breaks. You can literally dodge nothing and still no-miss up to the TLB if your timings are good. Type-I is another matter, I've never seen a clear with it.

I've been tested for autism when I was younger, and the results were negative, so I doubt I'm literally autistic. You can still use it as an insult, though, I'm fine with that.

However, it'd be nice to hear why were you displeased in me, or what made you angry (assuming you were the guy who popped up in the chat and typed a few lines). I cannot promise I'd fix my habits, but once I know what's wrong it's easier to at least try to lessen doing so. Hence, if you have a problem with something I do, please do elaborate. It might be a bad idea to fill this thread with useless arguments, but you're welcome to PM me on IRC, for example.

>>10653479

first you'd want to look up scoring replays of one of the games you are most fond of, while reading up on the scoring system via the wiki for example to help understand the players decisions. if you think it seems appealing from watching the replay, try to emulate the player but not too closely. start doing tiny things differently from how you'd normally do them. eventually you'd want to study the run more closely to help tighten up your strategies and actually play for score for real, but it takes time to get there. just make sure the game actually fits your playstyle first. for example you may be a person who likes EoSD, but you may also dislike suiciding, in which case it wouldnt be a good game to play for score.playing for score requires a lot of consistency so at first i wouldnt take it too seriously, unless maybe if you choose to play easy mode to help focus more on the scoring aspects of the game and less on pure survival, although it might be boring.

Well I'm prety fond of aggressive movement during gameplay but I often screw up because I either lack dexterity of perhaps practice with my fingers.

I'm very fond of PCB since I've made the most progress on that game and it's my first.

Would you also advice doing blind score runs based on my own memo of the game before looking at some replays?

[Anonymous No.]

>>10653573
Not the same person, but I would absolutely recommend that you play with the game on your own for a while before looking up high level replays. That way you'll get to enjoy making discoveries. At least, that's what I enjoy the most about scoring. You're robbed of that if you go straight to having everything "shown" to you. By the time you do want to push the boundaries, you'll have a much, much better idea of why the player did the things he did.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10653607

[Anonymous No.]

>>10653573
>Would you also advice doing blind score runs based on my own memo of the game before looking at some replays?
Not him, but I would highly advise against doing that, especially for a game like PCB. You have to put your knowledge of the game's scoring system to use and try to experiment and create your own routes. Copying HS won't help you learn the "why" and the "how" aspect of what he does.

Also, PCB is a good choice! You'll love it.

When you truly intend to play some touhou about how many hours/runs do you put in a session?

I'm a bit curious because sometimes I can find that I've palyed for a few hours without realizing it and at other times I can't do it for more than half an hour to an hour at a time without feeling like stopping.

>>10661914
I am not ambitious, so after 1cc'ing normal on every shot type I just play what I want, sometimes trying to beat my own high scores. I never thought about how much I played though. I usually just do a run on normal/extra until I beat it.

>sometimes I can find that I've palyed for a few hours without realizing it and at other times I can't do it for more than half an hour to an hour at a time without feeling like stopping.
Pretty much this, depending on the game I'm playing and what mood I'm in.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10661914
Three hours training my scoring abilities on tough stages, an hour watching superplays and trying to observe what they do. After the four hours, I'll take an hour-long break and exercise, relaxing with a little bit of meditation afterwards, and possibly a calming game of my choice. After that, I'm back to playing STGs or Quake, depending on how I'm feeling. This was my daily schedule back when I was very serious about getting better at a game some years ago. I realized that I didn't have talent, so to really shine, I had to put a lot of time and effort into it.

I've lost many nights of sleep playing STGs and fighters alike. The competitive nature is what keeps me playing. Starting at the feet of the bullies and working your way up is such a satisfying feeling.

>>10661914
6-12 hours a session if I have a goal I really want. I very rarely play that seriously though, typically I'll just throw in a few credits here and there on something with no real goal in mind, just so I don't get too rusty.

About 5 months ago I was finally able to 1cc IN on normal. I have been rotating between MoF and UFO. I can currently get to the end of MoF, but can't beat Kanako. I can't get past stage 5 on UFO. Should I just continue working on these two games or go back to IN and work on hard?

Or do you believe their is an easier game to 1CC over these two?

Only only game I have 1 CC is PoFV.

hey /jp/, i'm looking into buying a SNES controller with which to play mah 2hus. (I know people say that the saturn controller has the best dpad, but snes is what I grew up playing with so probably will be the most comfortable). A lot of the reviews on amazon and stuff, however, complain about stiff dpads and other issues, which they rate as good enough for their super mario kart or whatever, but I would rather have an authentic experience for my 2hu since I expect to one day become a somewhat high performing player. Do you have recommendations about reputable places to buy a USB SNES controller that feels like an original? Would I be better off buying an adapter and using the controller I have?

[Anonymous No.]

>>10673704
I recommend you to get an adapter for your controller (snes controller I am assuming). Many of the USB snes controllers are pretty bad in quality and probably wouldn't last too long in a high demanding game of shmup. You may also go for the alternative and go for the Hori Pad, it has a cross pad just like the snes and it has a more tactile feel which is nice.

It doesn't matter if I fail or not. When I fail a run, it means I get to try again, feel the rush of a good run again. It means I get to enjoy the progress more, take small steps at time and get slowly further with my goal.

If you like the game, it doesn't matter much. You get to play something you like for a bit longer while.

You're not too late to get into the games, there're still new players just starting and there's plenty of achievements to further be had in the west.
There's a lot of good fangames of all genres for Touhou, and they are listed out on the Touhou wiki, be sure to check there.
Youtube is an easy place to find a lot of touhou fan animations if that's what you're looking for, it shouldn't be too hard to find a large amount to dig through once you start searching a bit.

So I don't now where else to ask this but my Internet-fu is bringing up nothing:

The Cave Shooting Collection dropped in Japan a few days ago, and it includes a disc with all the DLC (including Futari 1.01 and MMP Matsuri) waiting to be installed to a hard drive, presumably DRM free.

I'm going to go out on a limb and presume that at least one /jp/er has purchased this.

Theoretically, would it be possible for someone to take one of those discs, install the DLC, copy it onto a USB drive, and post it on the Internet for the enjoyment of mankind, much like people have done with the Fallout, Oblivion and Borderlands GOTY DLC discs?

And, in theory, would anyone have done that? Specifically, Futari Black Label and 1.01?

I'm pretty sure nobody no focused LLS or MS yet. same can be said for 90 fps for both of them as well as SoEW. There are 2 90 fps 1ccs for PoDD with yumemi and rikako respectively, so you can try your luck with any other character.
if you don't want to play Pc-98 for some reason, you can always try some oddball challenge for the windows games like clearing PoFV without anything but using your shot (no charge, no focus, no pressing x...) or more 90 fps challenges nobody has done yet.

any pointers/tips for a scrub?

[Anonymous No.]

>>10699642
Definitely. First of all, I'd like to know if there's a specific part of a stage or a boss fight that kills you every time. If yes, which ones?

Af far as more general advice is concerned:
Try to memorize the stages. All the stages in the game will become considerably easier if you follow a route that allows you to deal with large enemies quickly.

Oh and for when you reach the Stage 3 boss, keep a bomb ready for its final attack. It can be quite nasty.

[Anonymous No.]

[Anonymous No.]

>>10699648
thanks, yes it's mainly the boss that kills me. His second attack to be more specific. if it's not him it's just stupid mistakes like backing into a bullet at the beginning of stage 2 and such.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10699653
I see. Well yes, backing into bullets I cannot much to help you with. I do that sometimes myself and it's quite annoying. Preventing me from reaching very far into the loop.

I don't know how to go about preventing that with certainty but try to pay more attention to where you move and when.

As for the boss, the 2nd attack, if it is what i'm thinking it is, is a static pattern with aimed bullets. Therefore you can dodge it by following the same path everytime.

I too found it hard to do at first but after learning it, not even the loops version of the attack is that scary. I recommend using savestates to practice the attack.

Play B-L. It's the easiest ship for survival.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10699932
I wouldn't recommend anything but the EX ships. True enough, Ex ships give you less bombs but they more than compensate for that due to being much better in terms of firing power.

When I tried those ship types, I found myself in needs of bombs more than I did with the EX type because they weren't as good at killing things.

A-EX or B-EX is what I recommend. B-EX is really good for easy survival though i personally prefer A-EX for being faster, more powerful and overall more fun to play with.

>>10699642
Do this at the start.

Also, try to keep your hit count up, both for scoring as well as for gaining hypers. The more chain you have when you pick up a bee, the more your hyper meter is boosted, up to 200HIT.

>>10699932
I wouldn't really recommend this. You use hypers a lot more often than bombs, using Leinyan instead of Exy only gives you like one or two extra bombs per life, and a strong shot is important to have in a lot of places.

You're streaming Touhou, right? Anything more than the game's native 640x480 is a waste of bandwidth.

With 800 you can get pretty good quality at that res, especially if you have a good CPU to improve the encoding.

[Anonymous No.]

I play 960 windowed while streaming, and (not sure if relevant) I'm not using an old crt monitor that can't go over 800x600.

I'm new to streaming so my settings are probably unoptimized.

What I am understanding from your post is that I should play the game in 640x480, but that's ridiculous.

Not suggesting that at all! Your stream will scale it back to the original game resolution.

And yeah, that's a good CPU so (at least in FFSplit, for example, not sure about others) you can run a slower encode to get more quality/bitrate.

Yeah I tried slower encoding but that resulted in horrible frame loss, I think my options right now are overclocking or getting better internet(not sure about that one).

I just don't have the hardware or money to do that though, I'm still happy with I have, thanks for the insight.

I stream at ~600 kbps with a decade old computer. 480p at 30 fps is perfectly acceptable for streaming.
