How are your goals and achievements coming along, /jp/?
I finally managed to get 2.5b in UFO Lunatic! I pulled it off yesterday morning and I still feel really ecstatic. The grind really paid off.

Hey /jp/sies, got myself a new computer, it's recent cheap shit but it's enough for what I need to do with it.
I have tried to play the games but it won't open any except PCB. For the rest, it displays a 0xc000007b error message. The worst is that I feel I've already gone through such a problem but I don't remember how to solve it.

Downloading dll files from non-official sources can be a security risk unless you know what you're doing, but more importantly we need to get your Touhou game running.
Your issue is probably that there's a mismatch between the dll the game wants and the one you've downloaded.

Marisa's lasers are shitty too, but they're more fair. They let you see where they're going to go before they shoot and you can go through them when you're invincible. You can't get rid of the gas until it disappears by itself, the gas always slows you down and it can stack to make you move even slower.

I think the only character that can move freely in the gas is Sakuya and she sucks in general.

I take a break, and the length depends on how much I'm tilted/chocking.
One time I took 4 day break from Touhou altogether.
It was when I played PCB, I chocked at Stage 5 and Youmu reduced my full stock of 8 lives down to 3 in a Normal run.
Needless to say, I wasn't mentally well to continue playing after that, but when I came back to it, I 1cced it in my second try.

Except the game systems are still easily abuse able even if you have half a brain an an ounce of practice. The "flooding the screen" bullets don't make a difference. Also, you can't "abuse" those gimmicks during bosses.

Also. The stages themselves in Touhou are usually pretty stale overall. The boss fights are where the action is. And I would agree that UFO and DDC have some pretty good amount of hard patterns. Just fight Shou or Byakuren or Kagerou or Seija.

I know that feel: Koishi is actually the second Extra boss I beat (after Flandre), but since she's my favorite character, I didn't mind retrying the stage multiple times as long as it meant facing her. She is hard, however, probably the hardest after Hecatia.
If you're looking for other "easy" EX bosses who aren't Suwako, you can always try Mokou or Flandre. I'd say Yukari as well (she isn't easy per se, but you've already seen part of her tricks with Ran), but actually unlocking her is pretty bothersome.

I'm actually talking about Lunatic dude. Some clarifications : her third non is mostly easy, i'll still die to it sometimes but it's as easy as it gets for byakuren. The second nonspell is crazy and probably the hardest attack in the entire fight on lunatic, though the first spell Good Omen comes close. recitation I can only capture like 1/10 times at best. Most of these attacks have no real trick to them either, it's just reading/precision in your movements
Also in theory I know that LFS isn't supposed to be that hard, but the last few red/purple waves are sometimes outright impossible depending on how you move during the earlier parts

I think there's a trick to LFS where you need to stop shooting for a while to make the next few waves easier, but I have no idea when.

I know about the trick to misdirect the purple waves so that the red and purple waves become easier but the timing is pretty strict and hard to pull off below 4 power

Did you also get a replay along the score to post? Posting a score like that out of the blue without at least a replay to back it off is quite obviously going to be seen as a fake and is in poor taste, too.

Human reaction time is around 1 second, so you can never 'react' after getting hit, you just have to anticipate when you're going to be hit. You should just get by easily in normal mode with bombing away whenever you think you're in danger.

The reason we do not have a replay is because most likely it would desync on us. I'm not an expert on Solo Alice by any stretch of the imagination but I do know the stage quite well as a whole.

Aside from the score being a very massive improvement, there are other issues with the screenshot. ASL's Alice run gets 24.7k graze and 72.3k time. This run here gets over 30k graze and only just over 80k time. Aside from the fact that this is only about 1000 less graze than the Youmu solo WR, this means he gains 6000 more graze but only 8000 more time, roughly. Keeping in mind that solo youkai only get 2 time orbs per graze on spells, at least 2000 of that graze outside of spells. As this is an improvement over the world record, we should assume his cancels were significantly better, too so even more graze would need to come from outside spells. Considering the fact that a majority of graze in this extra stage comes precisely from spells, as well as the fact that Alice can not gain 3 graze per bullet like humans can, it's safe to say that something went wrong here.

From this it's fairly safe to conclude that this guy doesn't know anything about how the cancels works and simply turned on invincibility with spoileral or cheat engine and sat in front of Mokou or Keine and got a lot of graze that way. A screenshot of an idiot already gives away enough to be safely able to conclude the run can not be legit.

I hope this dispels and doubt anyone might have had left regarding that run, if there was any left.

Lunatic?

Good Omen and the second non are what always get me. The former is a giant clusterfuck and the latter goes too fast.

I don't take cheating or faking scores very lightly so I prefer to make sure there can be no doubt for even the most retarded individual to understand why a run or score is not real.

You're of course right that that would have been enough but he could just rebuff that by being a faggot but there isn't anything he can reasonably say to defend his dumb screenshot now.

Same. After failing a run I cannot get past stage 1, so I have to stop playing for the day, it's fucking killing me.

I don't get pissed at the game, but what I realized is that my practice session MUST be a single long session. If I play for 30 min now and come back hours later for 2 hours of practice, my practice just won't be as good. I don't know what is it, but it also applies to other things in my life.

Considering this, I can get really pissed off if my practice session is interrupted by someone with some random bs making me stop playing prematurely.

I've been playing Normal on 6 (along with 7 and 8) for a while now. Tried Hard on a whim. It was a lot easier than I expected. I mean I did lose most of my lives on stage 1, but I was expecting to find myself out of my league, while this seemed oddly doable.

Is the main difference the amount of bullets any given attack produces? I noticed some new spell cards, but that seemed to be the main thing.

thcrap doesn't alter the games the same way the static patches do, so most likely not.

The differences between modes is basically what you stated but you left out bullet speed. I think lunatic will be closer to what you were expecting.

Though I've forgotten exactly what it was like to play touhou for the first time I think playing lunatic for the first time is a similar experience.

I get that sometimes too but maybe not as severely as you. I'll get stuck on a spam resetting stage 1 for a half hour straight then I'll be back on stage 6 or whatever having no problem in between.

Which games do not have an effect on ending if you finish using continues?
I know I did it in SWR and PoFV.

>>16700134
All the PC-98 games besides PoDD definitely do give you a bad ending if you continue. I think all the fighting games give you a good ending even if you continue, but in IaMP you have to get to the final stage first before that can happen (if you continue before beating Stage 5 you'll get a bad ending and the game stops, like EoSD on easy mode).
