Anyway, has anyone figured out the system yet?

[Anonymous No.]

>>10946842
The more items you PoC, the more the bonus is worth. Every bonus pops out a bomb frag, every 5th is a life frag. That's it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10946856
Also for Sakuya the gist of the scoring is
1. Get in close to a lot of bullets, bomb
2. Wait for screen to fill back up, ram a bullet
3. Repeat until out of bombs, then suicide
4. Go to 1

You can graze the hell out of the 2nd stage boss through the lasers and floating head.

I played Sakuya A, and everyone else for that matter, all the way through on normal with zero issues.

Also, does anyone hear a bit of Imperishable Night (IN stage 4 BGM, not the full game) in the stage 3 BGM, or is that just me?

[Anonymous No.]

>>10946930

Whenever you go high enough on the screen so that all items rush to you, if there are enough items on the screen, a bomb fragment or life fragment will pop out.

I thought that whether it was a bomb fragment or life fragment was determined by how much stuff there was on the screen, but >>10946856 thinks it's that every fifth fragment to pop out is a life fragment, and I think that's more likely to be the case.

I don't know exactly how many items is "enough" to make a fragment pop out, but I think it's an interesting little system.

SakuyaA is my favorite shot type other than the Goddamn crashing.

>Also, does anyone hear a bit of Imperishable Night (IN stage 4 BGM, not the full game) in the stage 3 BGM, or is that just me?

The wiki has a table for the item bonuses. In short it's 20 min and 60 max.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10946973
I'm guessing it's about 15. Multiplier likely goes up every 5, maybe? Also getting 60 at once pops a life frag as well, rather than a bomb. Dunno if that resets the life-frag-every-five counter or not.

I was preparing for DDC last night by playing TD. The farthest I got before was stage 5 but this time I finally got to stage 6 and took Miko down to her second to last spell card. Oh well, time to practice TD again I guess.

And DDC is a lot more fun than what I expected, I liked the Kagerou fight and her howling.

Cirno is actually ZUN's daughter.

In the future, when WWIII strikes, just before a nuclear attack hits Japan once again, ZUN will gather all his mighty power to open a portal to Gensokyo for a brief moment, and throw his daughter inside to save her. This will change her into a magician-type youkai who thinks she's a fairy.

Then, as Gensokyo is outside of normal space-time continuum, bam we get Cirno in the past.

It wasn't registered before due to the Google e-mail name already taken. Apparently, nobody ever thought of making a [e-mail] and choosing wakasagihime as the YouTube link.

I think I'll use it for uploading Wakasagihime remixes from Nicovideo and maybe some Cirno stuff since she's in the stage.

Play Normal.
If you get stuck on Stage 4, that's fine. That's pretty much where every single Touhou game ramps it up a little. Try to observe the bullet patterns and strafe a little slower, maybe you can find a way to lead the bullets. Take a break when you have to.

It looks like a black hole, and more or less acts like one.

It rises vertically on the screen for a 5~ seconds or so, takes up about a tenth of the screen, and nullifies/blocks anything that hits it.

I still think Sakuya A is far, far more broken.

That's what I meant. And I don't recall Cirno dying in the games.

By the way, in Double Dealing Character: If the cursed weapons are real items, aren't they actually killing them this time? at least the A versions which use the cursed weapons.

Those knives are real knives, the hakkero fries shit, and reimu's thing exorcises for real...

Also interesting how A versions (cursed weapons) have harsher dialog and a darkened name in the selection screen.
What the fuck is going on?

I think that A version MCs are getting affected too by whaever is causing all this.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10947794
The spell where I got shit stomped on and the one after that where the rainbow danmaku comes out really fast were fun to play against, I'm definitely going to hit up Stage 6 practice mode a lot before I try to 1cc the game again. Fighting Miko made me like TD a lot more.

I believe Sakuya B kills faster than Sakuya A too.

I was mainly refering to bombs thought. Sakuya A more or less gets a double bomb, and if you make it through the PCB-psuedo-cherry system, you can three bomb fragments.

[Anonymous No.]

Since DDC is (literally) darker in tone than the other games and has a distinctly western theme, does that mean we might get a powerful Makai resident as the final boss?

I mean, you can't get any darker n edgier than a demon lord. (And no, I'm not necessarily talking about Shinki)

So far, bosses are (double dealing characters), as in, belonging to both eastern and western mythologies.

So we may guess the last boss this time if we research enough.
We also have to account for the general beligerance of MC's tools and youkai, so extra boss or last boss needs to be related to instigation, revolution, going berserk, something like that

The setting of DDC seems to revolve around an aquatic area of Gensokyo, so it's safe to assume that the final boss will probably be associated with water and malevolence.

All you have to do is collect three of these same coloured UFOs which drop from certain enemies and change colours rapidly while dodging bullets, kill a lot of fairies within a short time period so it absorbs the power up tokens and finish it off before 10 seconds end while dodging danmaku.

It's probably a little bit of both, I'm a normal mode babby too and I remember Yuugi and Ichirin being really hard the first time I fought them but I didn't have too much trouble with Kagerou. It's harder than TD for sure but that's not saying much really.

Oh yes, I think it took me 5 to 10 attempts to learn her quirky attacks. On the other hand, all DDC spellcards I've seen seem to reuse the older patterns. The only attack that made me confused was the one from stage 2 where you've got to remain motionless or suffer.

The game is surprisingly fun, at least with a no bomb condition. The wolfbitch is a nightmare on Lunatic, though.

I'm not sure how I feel about bombing for score in this game. For a scoring system based around the PoC, it seems pretty lame that bombing instead is risk free and has absolutely no downside. On top of that, MarisaB's and SakuyaB's bombs can really be abused for resource gathering and increasing point item value.

>So even with all the free lives I always felt like one mistake would screw everything up.
If you mess up chaining your PoCing correctly, you'll end up screwing up your resources big time. One unplanned death in there and good luck getting back on your feet. This has pretty much been the case with every 2hu game lately (UFO, TD, DDC it seems) and I frankly find it annoying for survival when your bombs and lives are never guaranteed. I'm all for scoring, but unfortunately the games with this kind gimmick have always been paired with a generally shitty and unappealing scoring system as well.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10950218

what is PoC chain?

[Anonymous No.]

>>10950218
I spent my first 200 or so runs in DDC restarting because I was always fucking up my chain like the fucking retard I am. The lingering words of, "it isn't even hard :V" was really getting to me.

I think I'd have to compare my level of frustration to that of playing DDP for score.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10950225
In DDC, you have to PoC a certain amount of items at once to get a bomb piece/life piece and extra score. You ideally want to time your PoC/enemy killing so that you get a bomb/life piece every time you PoC (or as much as possible).

>>10950234
Mmhm, indeed. I had the same exact experience with restarting and it felt really annoying. Playing for survival felt like I was playing for score without actually playing for score.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10950248

is it possible

[Anonymous No.]

>>10950218
I find DDC to be a lot more flexible than UFO, and no where near as restrictive as TD. While bombs/lives aren't guaranteed, there are dead spots to cash in and bosses toss up enough items to spawn bomb frags.

I think the problem here is with definition. "Bullet" (or danmaku). Although these objects are physical, I would assume they hurt the opponent by magic instead of actual physical harm. Like Sakuya's knifes, although they're physical, I would assume when they contact they hurt the opponent by their magic properties and teleport back to Sakuya or something. Or, the danmaku Sakuya uses in game aren't the knives she portrayed with or said to use. She does have the physical knives, but while in a danmaku fight she uses magic knives.

I really like it so far. Only ever 1cc'd EoSD Normal, but I've decided to jump in on Hard Mode with this one. The power up systems' a little complicated, but I think I'll get used to it. At first I was focusing on scoring, but by stage 2 I die to often when focusing on score, so I've switched to survival. The only tactic I've tried with scoring so far is to bomb with Reimu A on the wave of laser turrets after Sekibanki's midboss. Haven't quite worked out if its worth it though yet.

I hate buzzwords, so here's my 2 cents. Play SA at Normal to learn how to stream bullets.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10954011
There are no rules to danmaku fights. "Danmaku" is a descriptor indicating that a lot of projectiles are being launched, synonymous with "curtain-fire" and "bullet hell". It is equally capable of referring to Touhou's nonlethal magic duels and the aerial dogfights seen in countless other games.

The spellcard duel rules, which most fights in Gensokyo follow, danmaku or not, prohibit killing a human opponent in or after the battle. Killing a youkai in a spellcard duel is a gray area according to the draft of the spellcard rules that we have seen, but Touhou player characters generally never have done so, anyway.
