Sure, I play touhou all the time. I just 1ccd IN with the border team, netherworld team, and magic team.

I've 1ccd all of the touhou games up to IN with all the characters in each game, but I have yet to beat an extra stage. Perhaps I will go back to EoSD soon and try to beat flan...

Not sure what happened, I I've played from eosd to pofv and I loved each, but I just can't bring myself to continue the series. The weirdest thing is that I think I loved each game more than the last, gameplay-wise, so there's no reason to not look forward to the next one.

Maybe I'm afraid the newhous will ruin the series for me?

Well I'm still working on 1CCs and Extra clears at the moment. So far I'm up to (for all shot types in each game):

Lunatic 1CC: EoSD
Hard 1CC: PCB, TD
Normal 1CC: IN, MoF, SA, UFO, DDC, LoLK
And I've cleared all Extras except DDC and LoLK

Mainly what I enjoy is the continued sense of self improvement. For example, I recently went back to SA and did a 1CC on normal without using any bombs. Remembering how much trouble 1CCing it originally gave me, that's a nice feeling!

I only barely managed to do it too, which was quite exciting. Almost lost it at the very end too, but managed to unfocus in time!

>That sounds pretty tedious.
It's not too bad.

a. I get to see the unique dialogue and endings for each shot type
b. Each shot type has it's own gimmick and sometimes unique 4th boss patterns, keeping things interesting
c. Once you've 1cc'd with one shot type it's typically not too difficult to clear with the others in one or two attempts
d. Get a greater sense that you earned the 1cc or Extra clear rather than just using the strongest, sometimes broken shot types
e. Get to enjoy Marisa speed

Plus clears only take ~25 minutes for the normal game anyway, and ~15 minutes for Extra.

Something that's bugged me for years.

Is 1CC using no continues or one continue? The name makes no sense if it's zero.

I've always quit the first time I run out of lives, but if using 1 continue was fair game my life would be a lot easier...

1cc means one credit clear, which basically means you can't use any continues.

Think of it in terms of arcade games.
To be able to even play the game you first have to insert at least one credit and that's why it's 1cc. If you lose all your lives, to continue the game you would need to insert another credit and that would be a 2cc.

I'm almost positive hitting play and starting a game is where the "1" comes from, like if you were in an arcade you would only have put one coin in the machine. Basically using a continue would be using another credit, so it wouldn't be a 1cc.

I think it's pointless for anything other than bragging rights, though. And even then it's not like there's any way to know if you 1cc'd it or not unless you're bragging to someone you know personally and send them a video

You really don't think there's any point to getting good at something unless there's a social component to it? At least Touhou rewards you for 1ccing with a good ending and an unlocked extra stage. Even without that, the satisfaction of self-improvement is plenty rewarding.

What controller do you use to play, /jp/? Or do you just use your keyboard? I'm using pic related since I really like the microswitches in the nub and buttons, but I'm wondering what everyone seems uses.

On another note, do you map shot and focus to one button, so you're constantly tapping the button to fire then hold it to focus, or auto and focus to two different buttons?

Classic Touhou controls, always. Just how much drunk was ZUN when he designed PoFV's controls?
Either you kill your finger and reduce your attention spamming Z constantly like a retard, or you give up your ability to fire when not focusing which is completely stupid and a huge handicap, anyone playing seriously the games will agree.
Why wasn't there a logic mapping where you shift to focus, hold Z for fire, X for charge and C for "bomb"? That's one of the main reason why I hated PoFV.

Hi. I wouldn't recommend this exact layout; many games use ctrl for non-skip functionality. Plus, it's already fairly natural to rest your fingers on ctrl when playing. You can do shift-z-x-c, but most games don't support that so you'd end up having to remap with xpadder or something as well.

That's what I was thinking at first, but the layout got ugly and I mostly play Touhou anyway. I figure I would rather have a board that does one thing exactly without any extra.

1 credit clear

2hu is based on those arcade games where you have to add a ``credit'', meaning a coin. Each time you die you have the option to keep playing if you insert a coin. In 2hu it's on your computer so the lives are your credits.

1cc means fully clearing a 2hu game without dying.

putting arbitrary restrictions on yourself before learning the basics won't make you a better player. Also please don't use terminology wrongly. A 1cc is a 1 credit clear, so dying is allowed, just not continuing. If you don't want to die, call ait a no death or no miss run.

That's pretty crazy, all easy modes except for LoLK have very sparse and slow danmaku.
There's huge gap in difficulty between easy and normal in SA for instance.
Score/gather items for lives properly, bomb wisely.

That being said, I can only play normal(and hard in easy games like PCB or LLS) and have 1cc PCB extra/phantasm. I'm trying to clear IN and DDC extra occasionally, but get tired around Fujiyama Volcano/Blue lady show and put it on hold every time.

I finally 1CC'd EoSD on Normal the other day. I want to 1CC every Touhou on Normal before moving onto higher difficulties because the "Normal" difficulty in every Touhou game varies. I only feel proud because it's the only shoot 'em up game I have ever cleared before.

Maybe before moving to higher difficulties try clearing Normal without using bombs next.

1cc'ing normal doesn't really mean anything considering how easy it is to bomb through a lot of it, but clearing it without bombs means you somewhat mastered it, and can successfully dodge the patterns.

Thing is, I haven't. I don't have much free time, so I was taking 1 touhou at a time to 1CC on easy, so I could move up to normal.
I started Lolk recently, but it's kinda hard, and I think it will take some time until I can 1CC it on easy. Most of them I 1CCed in a couple of tries, since they are not really hard, but Lolk is giving me a hard time.

Don't play on Easy at all, because if you're going to fuck up and die, it might as well at least be on Normal. Playing Easy will teach you bad habits/make it harder to get good on higher difficulties as well. There is no reason to play easy modo.

I know that sounds retarded, but one of the reasons I play touhou is because of the history.
1CC on easy and normal gives you the same endings?
Also, I thought playing on easy would be good to learn how to play, so I could go to normal later. Is that wrong?

Press directionals in quick succession change the direction of Youmu's options. For example, up+left+down and up+right+down to direct it at a 45% angle to the sides like SakuyaB can in PCB. If you're using Border Team, tap Shift to return Youmu's shot to the forward position to focus fire a target.

Or just hold Shift for Yuyuko's very wide spread if you're still having trouble.

For a first 1cc? Not bad honestly. A lot better than I expected.
You actually at least tried to dodge everything.
>Most of my bombs in that run were lost from trying to dodge bullets instead of hitting X
Indeed, but that's not necessarily bad; you try to dodge stuff instead of going for an auto-bomb, and that's what this game is about, dodging bullets.

That being said,
>I think I captured nearly all of them but I'm not really sure.
Not quite. Mind you, "capturing" a Spellcard means you finish it before the timer runs out and without using a bomb, or getting hit.
Starting from stage 4, I think you only bombed the stage once which is above average for a newbie first 1cc.
However, you only captured a single Patchouli Spellcard, the easiest one.
Stage 5, the stage portion above average and the midboss nonspell and spellcard captured nicely.
The boss however, again, only a single Spellcard captured, the easiest one, and also failed every single nonspell.
Stage 6. and yet again the same story, stage portion nicely done.
Boss, only one spellcard captured, the easiest one of course. Failed two out of the three nonspells.

It doesn't seem to me like you should throw yourself at harder games/higher difficulties just yet, until you can dodge most of these patterns at least somewhat consistently.
You bombed your way through most of it, which is expected of a first 1cc, but what you really want, is to be able to dodge it.

>It doesn't seem to me like you should throw yourself at harder games/higher difficulties just yet

It's much easier for me to learn when I am really "forced against a wall" in that sense. When I started out, I tried to make sure I could consistently do Cirno without losing a life or bomb, Meiling without losing a life or bomb, etc, but I kept repeating the same mistakes because I restarted as soon as I died, and that left me feeling extremely upset. I don't mind just barely being able to 1CC every game on Normal, because putting self-imposed restrictions on myself only hurts the experience and hurts the chance of me getting better. After playing PCB for a bit lately I understand why people recommend you start with PCB first before EoSD, PCB has denser and slower bullets so you learn to dodge more efficiently. I wanted to begin with EoSD because it came before PCB though, and I practiced it non-stop for over two months despite breaking down into tears at my failures multiple times.

I did it because Touhou is beautiful enough to bring me to tears. Maybe not usually the games themselves, but Fantasy Kaleidoscope and the arranges I've heard really bring me that feeling.

I managed to finish my last shot type clear of DDC's Extra today, which ended up being with Sakuya B of course, since she's pathetically weak. Marisa B was the first one I cleared DDC's Extra with, which was completely ridiculous given how broken her bomb is when used against boss normal attacks.

I'm now close to completing the goal I originally set out with: 1cc all the integer windows games on normal or higher with every shot type and clear all the extras with every shot type. All I have remaining are 1ccing with Reimu and Reisen in LolK, and then clearing LoLK's Extra with each shot type.

Incidentally, I really like Raiko's final spellcard. I think it's my 2nd favorite Extra stage final spellcard after Ran's. The rest notes are a pretty cute concept.

I tried for a while to beat EoSD on normal but I just couldn't.
I could get past Meiling without losing any lives, and I think I got past Patchouli without losing any lives maybe once or twice out of god knows how many runs, but I just kept getting fucked by Sakuya. At the most, I'd make to the last stage with a life or two, but it's just too much.

And then I just gave up.

Keep trying, even if it takes months. Sakuya is easy if you use bombs on her knife spellcards when you're put into situations where there is nowhere left to go. If you keep practicing a stage for weeks, what seemed impossible to you at first will seem doable and maybe even one day it'll seem easy.

Different anon here. I remember the scarlet team was funny to use but quite hard to 1cc with too. I believe it's because Sakuya's shot is really weak.

Go to practice mode and practice individual stages and things you have trouble with.

>I always waste bombs like a retard with patchouli and remilia, especially remilia.
Then go to Practice mode and try to capture stuff instead of bombing it.

>playing in normal with Marisa´s illusion laser.
Marisa laser has the best bomb in the game.
You can literally skip entire spellcards by just pressing X, so getting a 1cc with her shouldn't be too much of a problem.
However, if you're actually interested in getting better rather than just getting a worthless 1cc by skipping half the game, I'd recommend maybe switching to Reimu first.
Marisa is a very fast shot type and requires a lot fast but precise movement, if you're a rookie you might find it easier to play with Reimu at first, since she's easier to maneuver, then switch to Marisa once you figure out how the patterns work.

>should I just play on easy until I´m better or am I missing something?
Absolutely not. Playing on easy is completely pointless and you won't help you get any better.

>also for reimu what´s best, homing or needle?

Homing has easier time with the stages, while needle does more damage and kills the bosses faster if you can follow them around and stay under them.
Also, homing has the easiest Patchouli boss fight out of the four shot types, whereas needle has the hardest.
Pick whichever you prefer.

I've 1cc'ed every touhou till TD and i just tried both DDC and LoLK. I feel genuinely disapointed. I don't want to score , i don't want to graze. Maybe i'm just a lazy fuck but i feel like MoF generation was just better. I hate this new life system.

And i feel like the music level has decreased too. Coulndt really find any noticeable music.

PLUS as>>14322377 said , we see the same bullets since years. Maybe Zun should leave photoshop for a while and actually try something more professional. I bet he has the money for that.

Sorry for the ramblings.

DDC's life system is what you should be doing in other games anyway. I don't see the problem.
LoLK on the other hand is literally graze and get a stack full of lives by the end of stage 2 though.

Well cave and arcade games in general are completely different to touhou. They are usually harder so don't let yourself down if you think it's to hard to complete Normal mode on any difficulty. Just keep playing Novice until you are able to complete it with one credit and keep going, then try out normal. Arrange and 1.5 don't count, those are a completely different thing.

I don't remember EoSD specifically, but that doesn't mean it wasn't timed. It's pretty easy to justify that with "If you want to pause and screw up the timing, that's your problem."

I vaguely remember that PCB seemed kind of synced, although now that I think closely, it might just be because Necro-Fantasy seems to time with anything, and that's what I remember.

My first Touhou was IN, and I recall soon noticing the stage music/battle sync. I believe it's one of the charming points of Touhou.

I decided a few days back that I will 1CC every Touhou game on every character and not just the easiest one (and on Normal to begin with because I'm a shitty and every Touhou has different difficulty at "Normal".) Not autistic enough to beat them on every shot type though, I'm just going to use whatever shot type works the best for each character in each game. Playing as Marisa instead of Reimu in EoSD feels a hell of a lot more different. It's harder, but more interesting. I understand why Marisa is portrayed as a "manly" character jokingly more often than others, it's because when you play as her you're more likely to risk your lives trying to get as many points as possible by flying to the top of the screen.

To all of you guys I say, just keep practicing. Everyone has to start somewhere.
I started playing on 2009 by clearing SA's extra (because I was a sucker for extra stages since that's how I began anyway) without even 1cc'ing the main game in normal first. Then I went from that to clearing all extras. Then all extras and normal modes with all characters. Now I'm working on clearing all lunatic modes, only missing PCB, DDC and EoSD, can't play EoSD because of some crazy fps problem and Vsync patch doesn't seem to be working for me atm.
My latest achievement is clearing LoLK legacy lunatic with all characters, and you know what? Man that game sure works for skill improving! Before that it took me quite a few tries to 1cc UFO Lunatic, and after playing a lot LoLK, I can 1cc UFO Lunatic on my first try. If you're somewhere around that skill level and want to improve, you should definitely try LoLK.

Is there any particular reason you're playing as MarisaC?
She teaches pretty bad habits if you get too used to her.

>often I feel like I don't have enough power to bring down Koishi's spell card fast enough

Well, no wonder if you keep wasting your power like that.
You do know that activating the shield costs 1 power, right? And even if it goes unused it only gives you 0.50 back, so that's a half a power loss.
You rely on the shield too much, you keep activating it even on the simplest of non-spells, which you end up capturing, but that's still a power loss.
You're basically trying to do what a lot of people who go for thier first 1cc's do, which is to bomb your way through.

First thing's first, the stage.
Up till Sanae you're doing fine.
Sanae's second spellcard, you want to move a bit more.
I noticed you like to keep hugging to bottom of the screen, which is a terrible idea during that Spellcard, you wanna move up whenever you can, right after the first wave and then move down if necessary, it gives you room to maneuver as opposed to being stuck in place at the bottom.
You used 3,5 bombs for Sanae midboss fight alone, which is a pretty terrible result honestly, that's a huge power loss.
As a result you end up with too little power and you can't kill the enemies fast enough, so you have to bomb more, which leaves you with 2.30 power for the boss.
When ideally you wanna start that fight with full power.

The boss herself.
Like I said before you keep wasting your power and spamming bombs left and right, because of how MarisaC works.
You used a shield on her first non-spell, I mean come on, seriously?
The way you deal with her first non is to move up, don't just move left and right at the bottom of the screen.
Her first spell, you activated a shield as soon as the first one was gone, that's just silly.
And notice how you didn't even get hit, but that's still a 1.0 power loss just for activating those two shields.
Also a bit of advice on her first spell, you wanna misdirect those bullets a little bit later, just wait a bit more, otherwise you end up with bullets aimed at you in the middle, which is not something you want.
Next, you got hit and deathbombed on her second non, one of the simplest of patterns; work on that.
Next, you got hit on her easiest Spellcard, Danmaku Paranoia and then you activated a shield right away, and then again immediately on her next easy non-spell.
Are you really surprised you don't have enough power?
As if wasn't bad enough, it pretty much goes downhill from here.

Learn how to dodge stuff, rather then just rely on your bombs.
Try to get through Sanae without losing too much power.
With Koishi her first and second nonspell, and her first and second spellcard are not something you should be using bombs on; those patterns are easy enough to learn and capture consistently every time.

I decided to save and upload that replay because it showed my most flaws in one replay, so I could get more advice at once.

Well, I'll start saying that my favorite playable character for SA is Marisa. I got my first 1CC with MarisaA, and up to this day I still got a better score with my old MarisaA 1CC(250775510, 2015/04/08) than with MarisaC(238796400, 2015/09/09). I got stuck with MarisaC because since I'm not that good player, I was caught in the trap that is her bomb. I got to the point where I don't even trust 100% my dodging skill anymore, so when anything looks "dangerous", I just bomb because I'm too afraid to lose a life, but in the end it just makes me more dependable on the bombs.

My score in Sanae's second spell is pretty bad, but in the latest tries, I captured it more than half of the time. Her third spell always fuck me, either the aimed bullets or those falling, but I'll practice it more.

Koishi's first non-spell used to catch me off guard, so I have this "fear" that won't let me go through it without a bomb. I'll work on this. MarisaC's bomb just give the same feeling of that substitute ISC item, making me think that "it's alright if I get hit, I won't actually die". The problem in her first spell is that sometimes the aimed bullets will come in a big chunk, and I subconsciously run away from it, making me go more towards the center.
Most of her non-spell cards(at least those waves, the second non-spell being an example) are easy to me, but again I have this problem with "risking" myself, I need to improve this. Now I'll start playing with MarisaA, even though her shot feels weak when focused. Better than wasting bombs like crazy.

I appreciate your reply, and apologies for the late answer.

Use practice mode for stage 4. 90% of that stage is just streaming. Once you figure out how it works, the only thing that should give you any trouble are the green books.

>>14352062
Well the blue books that create lasers are just easy streaming, but the green books are actually quite difficult because it's all RNG due to them spawning in random locations. Try to move under the first couple that spawn to thin them out as soon as possible, but otherwise just dodge and be prepared to use a bomb. You get a bomb immediately afterwards from Koakuma anyway, so it's a real waste to die there if you have bombs in stock.

It's alright to check doujins and so on, but it isn't alright to take it as canon.You can enjoy the fanon as long as you know it's just fanon, and know what's canon and what's not.

On an unrelated note, anyone got some tips to Extra's midboss Sanae third spell card? The aimed are alright, but those falling bullets are hell to me. The best option is to stay at the middle/bottom of the screen, or in the middle/top of the screen?

Yeah I, have read the Canon section of the wiki to understand how to treat each thing, but even so, I find it strange that some of the official books have sometimes non-canon doujins. I guess ZUN likes to promote the fandom´s creativity without making it go too far. great policy if you ask me

For her 3rd spell stay at the middle-middle of the screen and steadily stream left or right under her while avoiding the few random bullets that go across the middle section. Once you're not hitting her just quickly re-stream it and go the other direction, repeating until it'd done. It's actually very easy once you get the hang of it. The reason you don't want to stay at the bottom is because there's far more of the random bullets at the bottom of the screen.

Anonymous Sun, Nov 15, 2015 21:37:59 No.14357027

>>14355107
You definitely don't wanna be at the bottom.
As for the dodging.
Since the aimed stuff is well aimed, you know where it's going to shoot even without following it with your eyes, so focus on all the other random pellets instead.
And like >>14356844 said, stream slowly starting from the middle, then once you're not shooting her anymore, misdirect the aimed bullets and go back to the middle.
It's actually important to control your up and down movement as well during that spellcard not just left and right.
Also, you wanna stream as slow as possible, but if you see one of those random bullets heading your way, don't be afraid to let go of focus and make a sharp dodge, even if it messes up the aimed stuff.

So after grinding for a couple days, I got my first PCB Lunatic 1cc! I feel fortunate since it was the first time I had gotten to stage 6 without continuing as well. 80% Reflowing was incredibly intense since I was on my last life. I did with MarisaB, who has an amazing shot type. Penetrating lasers are great, and both of her bomb types are incredibly strong.

I do have one question though. During the Prismrivers fight, Merlin attacked me with one non and a spell. What the heck was up with that? I didn't get this when I was practicing with MarisaB on Lunatic earlier. I thought it the fight was static, or is this a glitch? Pic related.
