ITT Touhou as regarded from a /v/ideo game standpoint and not a series of repostan moe moe shoujo-ai.

Did anyone else have a hell of a lot of trouble with Subterranean Animism with its absurd love of non-pattern madness?
And Stage 3 is goddamn laser hell.
I still haven't passed Stage 5. Must resist urge to play Easy modo to smash nukecat's face in.

I also find that in SWR the block button only wants to work when you're NOT having your face comboed in.

Stage 3 wasn't so bad. Stage 4's lasers were worse.

I thought Stage 4's lasers were all easily dodged pattern weaves that don't even target you.

>> No.1330393

Suddenly I gained incredible danmaku skills and could beat EoSD PCB MOF MS, SoEW and LLS and their extras (including phantasm) withou having any trouble.
In fact I found Ran harder than Yukari

Stage 4 is easy, but 5 is a nightmare.

Well, Stage 4's boss is a bitch in that she uses different spellcards depending on what character you chose.

You have practice mode for a reason. Go ahead and practice everything before stage 5 until your eyes bleed. That way, you'll have plenty of lives to waste stage 5 and will be able to unlock it for practice mode.

Fuck you Orin. I can't be of good cheer because you are so god damned cheap as a boss.

I've pretty much sorted out my technique for getting through Normal's stage 1-5 and I can even do it without losing any lives on a good day (admittedly using a bomb or two for when a trick spell cards looks bad) but Orin's boss fight is horrible.

I can probably do half of her cards, but the ones I can't have me bomb a couple times slowing down everything else. Getting past he usually requires lives. It's like Sakuya all over again.

Well played ZUN. Well fucking played.

I can't beat EoSD phantasm fuck you EX-Rumia and your fucking last spell.

I don't find them so bad, after a while you get used to where the lasers are on stage 4 and they don't home on you or anything so it's easy enough to position yourself for a easy graze. My main issue with stage 4 comes from the last few fairies with almost a wall of seals with the last one. I get get through most now and don't have a problem, at worse I may panic bomb during the bit which throws huge danmaku at you while navigating that mess requiring you to stream AND plot your path. I love stage 4 now, it's improved my streaming to no end.

Stage 3 is kind of bitchy, but it's not too bad if you don't panic and stream a bit while taking note of where the lasers will go. I've gotten used to all but one of Yuugi's spell cards and that's the spirograph last spell card during mid-stage. I usually just bomb though it and get the power ups through till her boss stage which is pretty easy.

Parsee isn't even really a challenge any more. She has gimmicky spellcards that just require working out. Once you know what they do it's much easier. Things like not shooting her clones and encouraging her to fire where you want her to.

Orin, now Orin is a bitch.

Yuugi's midboss spellcard follows the same pattern every time. I'm not joking.

Does anyone ever have any trouble with Utsuho or is it just bitching at Orin in here?

Stage 6 is easier than stage 5.

>> No.1331427

Subterranean Animism is brutal. On normal, I found stages 1 and 2 to be a cakewalk, and 3 is really fun, so is 4...but 5 is absolutely crazy. Especially Needle Mountain of a Former Hell.
And I only just cleared stage 5 earlier tonight too, and only made it as far as Utsuho's Hell and Heaven Meltdown. Fuck.

The extra stage is bullshit.

Orin is not that hard people.

I've said it a million times. Take your time and get the ghosts lined up properly and the ONLY HARD SPELLCARD is her second to last one.

Her non-spellcard attacks are annoying, but not really that hard as long as you don't overreact. Again, take your time and she magically becomes easier.

I know it goes against everything you've learned while playing other shootan games, but this is one boss fight where NOT shooting constantly is a good idea.
