Actually pretty close to my first touhou 1cc -- EOSD normal. I've never played easy because of that image, and also because I get very excited about CAVE games.

Trying to just grind Sakuya and Remi in practice mode for consistency, and then I'll throw down with some 1cc attempts this weekend.

Stage 3 has been pretty tough for me as well.

Those diagonally descending yin yang balls that piss stars all over the screen are such a bitch. I've learned how to get by them but its not something where I know what I'm doing, i'm just panicking and managing to dodge them for the most part.

Also Doremy's nonspells fuck me up.

I was really trying hard on PCB and I was able to get all the way to Stage 5 without retrying. But then I noticed that it seemed really familiar, I remembered doing it a lot before. Then I opened up PCB Christmas and noticed that actually I had gotten all the way to stage 6 back then. Like I actually forgot I had done it then I got worse over time. I felt awful about it and stopped playing for awhile.

I'm trying to score in MoF Extra with MarisaB but I suck dick at the stage. I can't get through the very last wave of fairies before Suwako without fucking up. I'll either miss a few fairies completely or kill the power item fairies too early while killing point item fairies. I'm also not very clean with the fairies right before Kanako, but it's mostly from lack of practice. And, as always, fuck those enemies that come from the bottom in the first half of the stage.

I can't do Suwako's first survival card consistently either because I lag behind and get clipped, but I think that's from lack of practice too.

981 mil down, 5 to go. Most of my mistakes were during the stage. Seeing how the WR is virtually perfect, I have no idea if I can come close unless I find a new and more optimal route during the stage.

I 1cc'd PoFV Lunatic with Marisa just now.

The run was going really bad, I didn't get the 70mil extend before Stage 9 and only had one life going into it. But 1 second before losing the second round, the score crawls barely above 70mil, getting me a third round where I managed to kill Eiki Shiki with 3:16 on the timer. I got a really lucky Gauge item in the middle of it, too.

I've done all main series Windows games on Normal. But here's a few recent updates.

-Hard 1cc'd Imperishable Night. (PCB is doable too, but MoF hits a brick wall around stage 4. I shudder at the thought of returning to Subterranean Animism one day.)
-Unlocked EX in Double Spoiler. That game is so much fun, and many of the spells are really creative.
-I should give the extra stages a better shot too. I know I could do some of them, but I've only tried each like a couple of times. And Great Fairy Wars needs more attention too, seeing how I'm catching up with the Sangetsusei manga.
-Still haven't played the fighters, only read on the stories on the Wiki. I've always sucked at fighting games and don't see the appeal, sorry...
-Currently mostly looking forward to full LoLK. The demo's brutal, and I love it. The whole moon saga is some of my favorite Touhou.

Anonymous Sun Jun 21 18:42:46 2015 No.13678121

>>13678094
If you think UFO is hard then you are a retard. Here's why.
You can get pretty much unlimited bombs and lives through the UFO system, combined with how UFOs are literally bombs themselves when they cancel bullets upon explosion. It has such a piss easy early game and stage 4 allows you to max out your lives even if you start at 0.
On the other hand, SA, is practically impossible. Think about that stage 1, to do that stage without dying and have enough power to handle stage 2 is nearly impossible due to the bullshit that is Yamame. It feels like a lottery simulator when she moves down on her first non-spell. Stage 5 has the hardest boss in all of touhou, Orin, with her impossible midboss spellcard that surely will take a few bombs and a life at minimum. And don't get me started on stage 6. The boss, a bird of some sort, is nearly impossible to beat. The hitbox on her suns are extremely confusing and if you bomb you will lose power, making the attacks even LONGER.
To 1cc SA is truly one of the greatest achievements in all of touhou.

*Fuck, I meant Touhou3 is a difficult game in itself. You know, tiny screen due to pc98 emulator and shit.

Actually, all the pc-98 games have a unique difficulty level which makes them, in my opinion, extremely playable despite their age.

They are also very charming, unlike the new games, which simply don't have the magic.

>>13685744
Like I said above, I play it a lot. One of my most played touhou games. Maybe it's due to that I don't feel as discouraged when I get hit, or maybe that's because I get to play Yuuka and Medicine, some of my favorite characters.

Your chain would be broken by the time you load up your level 4, and even if you do use it, you get put in a bad spot when you need to bomb 10 seconds later. If you're talking about manually bombing and depleting your whole spell bar, you should be using your level 2s repeatedly instead.

You should use level 2s 99% of the time.
Level 3 hypothetically is the better defensive option, but it's almost never worth the price.
You're better off reseting your chain than using a level 4, unless you have a huge gauge lead and you're playing as someone like Sakuya.

This doesn't make PoFV a bad game.

Yeah IN doesn't seem too difficult at all, I've just got to get familiar with the game considering I've barely played it. Time to figure out which character I'm going to main.

Both PCB and EOSD extra stages are pretty hard to me though I'm able to get a decent way into the battle with Ran after playing it many times. I think I will be able to clear it soon-ish. Her spinning laser attack is generally where I find myself dying due to stupid mistakes. That's simply going to take more practice.

Phantasm, however, seems very difficult.

I've only played EOSD extra a few times and died very early on in the fight with Flan but I am willing to put in a lot of time to beat her, this was one of my goals when I first started playing.

I've been trying to get back into touhou recently but I don't seem to be making any progress anymore. I'm attempting UFO and EoSD Lunatic currently.

For EoSD I can't consistently get through stage 4&5 and if I get to Remilia I basically have no resources left. My main problem is Patchouli though. using Reimu B
UFO I can't even get past stage 3 on average. Kogasa and Ichirin are impossible and the stage portion of stage 3 always fucks me over

For UFO stage 3 portion: Use UFOs to cancel bullets on the ying yang orb spam. For the large faries that send out the walls after midboss ichirin, memorize where they spawn and go right underneath them before they do to kill them quickly before they send out walls. For the streaming part before boss ichirin, just circle around the faries and don't try to go out of your way to grab ufo tokens because that will just get you killed. Watching some LNB replays will probably help.

For Kogasa and Ichirin... just practice with bossrush, nothing much to say here.

Don't give up.

Not who you replied to but don't worry. It's pretty normal to initially struggle at the fourth stages. The ones that will give you trouble the most (bar the final bosses) will be the fifth ones.

After practicing some time you'll find yourself reaching Patchy with plenty of lives as her stage is way easier than it looks. It just happens it's the first one where you'll have to learn some patterns regarding how to move during certain parts.

Go to practice mode and when you play it try to get points whenever you can.

General tip: sometimes it's better to not move around too much but instead dodge the bullets with small precise movements.
At certain points the game will try to make you panic with complicated looking patterns so you commit mistakes, but as you get familiar with them the challenge they pose should decrease quite a bit.

As inusual as it may sound, if you're struggling with normal mode you could play a number of runs on hard so when you return to normal your reflexes might be better suited.
Or play the game in normal using continues so you gain experience with the latter stages faster than otherwise. Combine that with practice mode the 4, 5 and 6 stages and you'd be golden.
This should lessen the frustration and help you get better.

Play the game every week but without getting obsessed with the idea of 1ccing and you'll have a more enjoyable time and an easier time practicing.
Getting a 1cc should be the icing of your playing experience with the game, not a second job.
You shouldn't play video games to suffer, you should play to have fun. So don't get too stressed over it and play whenever you feel like.

Besides if you keep playing with some regularity but without forcing yourself not only will you get better with time but also have a blast doing so.

>Getting a 1cc should be the icing of your playing experience with the game, not a second job.
I'm a different anon too, but I miss the days when I found 1ccs alone satisfactory. After that, I began comparing my runs with other 1ccs based on score because I wanted to be better than everyone else and now I can't enjoy the games anymore until I have a WR for something, and even then I don't know if I'd be happy with it. I mean, I have decent scores in every Windows game for Normal, Lunatic and Extra up to TD, but most of my runs end up not getting past stage 2 or the Extra midboss because I heavily nitpick every scoring aspect of each run. If I get a border less than a second earlier than I wanted in PCB within the first few stages, for example, that's already grounds for restarting the whole run. If I'm 100 graze behind ASL on Sanae's first card of SA Extra, gotta restart again. I'm sick of restarting on stage 4 because I needed to bomb for survival once, taking 30 minutes to get a "good enough" run of stage 1 and fucking up stage 2 afterwards constantly. And now that I'm in college and have a job, there's next to no time to play anymore. My extreme perfectionism probably ruined the games for me.

It's been years since my first Lunatic 1ccs for every Touhou shmup up to TD and I haven't enjoyed the games as I did ever since. I tried to get into it again with DDC a few weeks ago when summer break started and couldn't do it.

How do I make the games fresh and interesting to play again without heavily triggering my autism like scoring did? Or, if you'd rather, just call me another autistic scorerunning faggot who can't play for shit. Either one works.

Gotta just grind it. It's possible to almost memo a route through it, but the lasers are random each time so that only helps so much. I used a three point system to dodge each laser wave: Two corners and the middle. I've seen people wing it and get it too though so eh.

Play shooting games quite different from touhou.

>without heavily triggering my autism like scoring did?
Play games from other genres where scoring doesn't matter or nobody gives a shit about it so you may appreciate more other kinds of rewards. Then when you feel like scoring isn't satisfying enough play the latest touhou.

Alternating every wave between bottom center and 1/3rd left and right edges is the way to go. You'll get the hang of the lasers and dodge them instinctively soon enough, the real problem are those orbs, as you have to dodge more and more of them and their pseudohoming might give you a cluster with no escape route sooner or later. If you pick Youmu it's easy to capture, but with other chars it's arguably the hardest card in the game as you have to nearly timeout and actually dodge the dense final clusters.

Keep playing in normal without using continues (and practice mode for the latter stages). There're 3 reasons for this:

1) You won't get a good ending unless you finish the game in Normal or above without using continues. This and the extra stage are the main rewards of the game.
2) There's no challenge in using continues if you already beat the game with them.
3) Playing on Easy would make you used to easier spell cards, which would be kinda useless when you go against Normal's.

If you're not using Reimu A, try that. It helps in a lot of scenarios to use the wallhack, but on stage 5, especially after the midboss, it's a godsend. Stage 6 is actually quite easy, though Okuu can be difficult if you don't know what you're doing.

My strategy for my first normal 1cc of it was to stock up on max lives from the first 4 stages and bomb at anything remotely difficult in the last two.

What are you basing this on? Maybe there will be another phantasmagoria game, anon.

PoFV is a blast for me, there's just so much action going on. At any given moment, you're probably going to be moving around the screen a lot, trying to keep your chain up, finding the best locations to kill trains of faries to reflect pellet bullets and survive. In any other Touhou game, there will be stage portions and spells which are static, literally memo, and you'll do the same thing every time, which gets boring after a while. You don't need to have a route like in the other games for PoFV, which is not necessarily a good or bad thing, but it's so different, so fun for me to be able to read and dodge bullets without knowing exactly what to expect, having to make split second decisions, exhilarating even, especially when fighting Shikieiki. It's nonstop action. Good for improving basic dodging skills too.

I think I want to marry PoFV.

I've always been so bad at Touhou. I was a part of a community full of weeaboos who were all really good at it and playing it at the highest level. You know, the kind making those Youtube videos and posting Lunatic graze scores and stuff. I started on PCB and later IN and I couldn't even 1cc easy no matter how hard I tried. I think I couldn't even get to the last stages without dying. Well, I tried again this past year after having not played in at least 5-7 and 1cc'd normal on my first or second try.

Playing video games all day really pays off even with extensive prior experience and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Even when you're like me and just have no talent for some genres.

The only mainline Touhou I've 1cc'd and actually beat is PoDD. The only other accomplishments I can remember offhand are that I've gotten to the last stage of SoEW, the stage 4 bosses of EoSD and IN and the stage 3 boss of PCB all without continuing on normal mode. I haven't played in a while, but I've been meaning to. I should probably worry about finishing the games first before trying to 1cc them. Having a full-time job makes it hard, though, especially with all the other games I want to play.

So I asked in the last thread which game is the hardest in the series so I could get to work on beating it first, since I'm new not only to Touhou, but to STG's in general.
Turns out you are all either dog shit at video games or you played an epic ruse on me because UFO came up the most despite it being incredibly easy to 1cc on lunatic.
Between the slow and easy patterns, and the surplus of resources, I cannot even begin to fathom how people find this even remotely difficult.

To compare, I finished UFO 2 days ago. It took me 3 days of practicing, though one of which was basically used up on me getting used to the controls and how STG's work.
I've since been playing Touhou 11 and I cannot for the life of me get past stage 5. I even bumped the difficulty down to hard just for the hell of it and it's STILL much to dense and fast compared to the bullets I had to deal with in UFO.

I think I'm going to skip Touhou 11 and play Touhou 13 or 14 to improve my skills. I don't like the looks of the older games because they have a pretty poor graphical style, as well as feeling clunky and unresponsive as hell.

Finally beat koishi after like 50 tries, two times in a row, once with Reimu A and once with Marisa C.
Fucking embers of love and danmaku rorschach ruined so many runs, but it was a pretty fun fight.
Also SA shot types are incredibly bad, like Reimu A is the only shot type worth using.

Even though they're about as basic as it gets I really enjoy the EoSD shot types. The power trade-off for Reimu A's homing shots is maybe a little stiff, but at least none of them feel broken like ones in SA or DDC.

Also ZUN needs to bring back Marisa's penetrating lasers. LoLK's Marisa lasers feel so weak.

Because 11 has more and faster bullets, I needed to bomb during the stage/boss sections way more, which meant I had no power which meant I died constantly. Also the bombs suck in terms of power and dont last very long.
In Touhou 12, I used Sanae Kochiya and her bombs gave me like 10 seconds of immunity as well as clearly the screen, which usually resulted in me being able to fill up another UFO and get it near death, which meant more resources while staying safe.

I love how this "no dodge required" replay is posted every time SA is mentioned. Too bad that player completely runs out of resources by stage 5 so he has to dodge a lot, especially during Utsuho's fight.
This replay is nowhere near level of PCB/MoF/TD where you can literally bomb/BB/trance every spellcard (except for the last one) without need to dodge a single bullet.
The only reason UFO doesn't have similar "no dodge required" replay is that this game is so bad no one wants to spend his time on it.

Yay, I got a no bomb clear of EoSD Extra!

http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=37682

I'm a pretty average player. I've cleared all the games on normal, as well as a couple of the Extras. On a whim, I decided to try a no bomb run, thinking that there was no way I could do it. Somehow I got locked in the zone though, and made it up to Catadiotropic no miss. That includes my first ever capture of Maze of Love and my second ever capture of Starbow Break! While I choked on Catadiotropic and Counter Clock, suddenly a no miss no bomb run actually feels in reach.

I know this isn't a very impressive achievement, but as an average player it feels really nice to notice improvement. It's crazy how good I'm feeling after this run.

For example, the large, round, semi-transparent ones in the OP picture that always have a smaller hit box than their outline would indicate.

Yeah, fuck all of you guys, I started playing video games for the first time two days ago and got the WR for every shot in DDC Lunatic on my second try. None of you shitters can play games to save your own fucking lives.

But holy fuck, when I'm trying to clear SA on fucking Normal I get assblasted on stage 2 because of how unresponsive the controls are. Even when I play on Easy just to see what it's like, Satori screws me over because I just ram into the lasers on her first card. I've played the game for 2 hours now and I still can't get past stage 3. Shit's impossible.

SA looks looks like garbage anyway, that's probably why it's so fucking unresponsive. I think I'll just play TD because the game actually looks modern in comparison the trash SA is.

It's not incredibly convenient though. If you're going for captures, being in trance at the end of one spellcard fucks up the next one.

You just move left and right, occasionally pressing X on the stages, and due to getting life pieces even if you bomb, you can bomb a boss at least 5 times before dying. That's assuming you bomb even the easiest shit, of which there is plenty of easy shit on every boss.
MoF on the other hand, has less lives, less easy shit, and VoWG, making it harder than SA in every way.

Start with whatever game you like most. Make sure for EOSD or PCB you are using vpatch properly since they have mad input lag on modern OSes, but other than that pick the one with the best girls/music/etc.

1ccing a game is different for everyone. Depending on your previous shmup skill level, it can be anywhere from a few days to a couple months of practicing every day. It depends where you are starting from and how dedicated you are. If you have never played shmups before, try setting the goal of beating normal with the limited number of continues the game gives you. Use the practice modes extensively, ask for help with a spellcard you're really stuck on and aim for a 1cc.

I went back to PCB to finish clearing Extra and Phantasm with every shot type. So far I've gotten all the Extra clears out of the way, and have cleared Phantasm with Reimu A, Reimu B, and Sakuya B. The weird thing I noticed with Phantasm is how many spell cards are actually easier in that mode compared to their equivalents in Extra. Off the top of my head, I find the 2nd and 3rd mid-boss spell cards, as well as the 2nd, 5th, and 8th boss cards to be easier in Phantasm. Combine that with the higher availability of point items for earning additional lives and Phantasm feels barely more difficult than Extra.

Its geared towards DoDonPachi but the lessons can be applied to most shmups.

In general:

The easiest bullet to dodge is the one that's never fired.

If a bullet is fired, its best to never have to dodge it.

If you must dodge bullets, then aim for the fewest bullets to dodge.

in stages, kill enemies while their slaves are still alive
in bosses, graze when under -80% and shoot at boss (not slaves) when over 80%
capturing cards gets you more time, the faster you capture the card the more bonus time you get
dying and deathbombing also lower your time so avoid doing them, but normal bombing is fine

please don't spread misinformation, some of the stuff you said is wrong:
>in bosses, graze when under -80% and shoot at boss (not slaves) when over 80%
it's exactly the other way around (easier to remember: go youkai for grazing and human for shooting)
>capturing cards gets you more time, the faster you capture the card the more bonus time you get
this is completely wrong and I don't know why you would think that? The way spellcards work is that the spellbonus constantly keeps dropping until you cap it, however collecting time increases it again (it can not be raised above th initial value though). In fact the timebonus you get from the spellcard will probably be bigger if it lasts longer because they spawn more familiars.
Also you do gain time from shooting familiars, so unless you want to cancel them, shooting them is a good idea

okay sorry, I made a mistake in this post, apparently you're right about the quick capping of spellcards giving more time (if there are no familiars in accounted) however if you can't milk a spellcard you're gonna speedkill it for the spellbonus anyways

Normal or hard, whichever feels more comfortable. Bear in mind, normal is easy mode, hard is normal mode, and lunatic is normal mode with more bullets.

Easy is "I have brain damage, please hold my hand and tell me everything will be ok, as I dribble onto my clothes" mode.
