Touhou gameplay thread

[Anonymous No.]

Let's have a Touhou gameplay thread for both the shoot-em-ups and the fighting games.

I'm a total and complete noob at Soku, and at the moment I'm just learning the basics. To give yourselves an idea of how noob I am, I can't even nail an uppercut. Soku is bebby's first fighting game for me. I use a PC gamepad and recently learned basic fighting technique in Soku (first I learned to just hit the basic A punch, then I learned to hit the dial A combo, then I learned to spam basic ranged attacks when the enemy is away), I recently managed to win my first arcade mode on Lunatic, and since I don't even know any special move someone suggested me to move on to learning how to hit spellcards (at the end of a combo or on a guard crush).

So after I learn how to hit a spellcard and build a deck, what else should I learn? I still feel way too unskilled to start learning powers and combos.

Wait a minute, is touhou a game?

Let's go swimming with Youmu!

Youmu is a cute boy.

I'm as surprised as you are.

I don't understand why TD is still the best looking mainline game. Characters look so soft and border is nice and easy on the eyes. Also both Youmu's sprite and picture are super cute.

Start by practicing complex inputs and basic combos in practice mode - it has less distractions. Defense is hard to practice against computers (it may even teach you back habits); block until their combo ends and then either jump out or begin your counterattack. Trying to do anything earlier will just cause you to get your shit kicked in.

This is almost certainly the case.

Use Marisa and butt everyone.
She's considered low tier but it's all a ruse for casuals to not pickup her because her butt can bruteforce the game.

/v/ threads have been dead for months. Everyone went to irc or quit. The generals got killed by shitposters.

Please don't talk about a shitty board like /v/ or I will trap Youmu forever in a jar

Is there any special I need to know about playing Imperishable Nights time system ? If I am not dying constantly will the time passing system just never really be relevant or is it a thing I have to manage ?

Youmu is really pretty and cute and nice. I wish Youmu was my big sister.

You don't have to manage it. If you don't use a continue you will necessarily clear regardless of the time points you get. The game starts at 11PM and ends at 5AM; the end of each stage adds 30 minutes to the clock if you get enough time items, and an hour if you don't. If you continue once it also advances the clock 30 minutes, so if you're only concerned with clearing the game then each continue means that you will need to get enough time items on one stage to counteract that.

Note that to play 6B (once you unlock it) and get the Good Ending you cannot have continued anyways, so again it's irrelevant at that point.

Thanks for the response. I've been googling this but didn't find much in regards to this question. Obviously I'm going to work towards a 1cc so it sounds like I'm set.

/v/ and /tv/ are the only good boards left on 4chan

http://hisouten.koumakan.jp/ has a lot of infos. To get used to special input motions you really just have to play.
Also join irc.

OP here. I already asked /vg/ and they had zero fucking clue. They redirected me here.

>>14251487
Which is the IRC?

[Anonymous No.]

So, basically, picking up a shitload of time orbs is for getting better chances of nailing a shitload of points at Eirin and Kaguya's bonus spellcards? The clock advances every time you fail one of these.

Rizon's #hisouten. The level of the average player is far and away higher than yours, so you'll have to be (and they'll have to be) patient. You should be prepared to helplessly lose a lot while you try to improve, if you find a practice partner.

[Anonymous No.]

>>14252436
I already have a couple of practice partners in a group of mine. I just wanted to confirm their advice since they don't seem to be very good at identifying what a super noob has to practice.

timeorbs are generall important for scoring, as they increase you point item value. They also increase spellbonus during spellcards, however it can't go above the initial value except on survival cards (so bascially you counter the constant reduction of spellbonus on most cards)

There is also the lobby with a lower level. At least I think it is still up.

Is there a mod that replaces DDC's electric guitar with a trumpet? The OST for that game blows except for the title screen.

People always tell me PCB is the easiest, but I find EoSD to be easier.

Youmu's spellcards are BS.

Well do you have anything to discuss about scoring, aside from complaining that nobody else is talking about it? It's hard to talk about scoring here when almost nobody in these threads does it. You'd get better discussion on IRC. Even in the western Touhou playing community (yes, it exists), there are few people who share the same categories- it's spread out through the games and difficulties. Sadly, most people seem to quit before they start scoring, or keep going for survival goals forever.

2hu is too simple so scoring isn't fun for most of the games.

Any tips on getting gud and 200 graze + 100% in this part?
I've been trying the whole day and I still can't figure how.
