I'd prefer to watch a MoF score run, but only if someone would babysit me through the tricks they're doing.

It's hard to understand the difficulty of a score run if you don't score the game yourself

Generally speaking, challenge runners are far more unpleasant to interact with and deeper up their asses than scorefags, so a scorerun I guess.

Then you've never seen either type of run.

If someone going for LNN has hours of stage 1 resets then they're definitely not qualified to be going for LNN. Most credits make it to S3 at least.

I don't get this attitude. Why are people humble about having the best run in the world? Unless literally 2 people play your category, you're definitely allowed to give yourself a dickstroke or two. Especially if the survival players are doing it with their "piss easy" LNBs.

Who knows, maybe that will even solve the attention problem, if people actually draw attention to their score runs in a positive way.

From what I've seen scorerunners tend to stress on the mistakes in their runs, while LNN is lmao literally perfect amirite

[Anonymous No.]

>>17414497
That's just a factual thing. A survival mistake is bombing or dying or [third condition], ergo not doing any of those equals no survival mistakes, it caps out.

Scoreruns do not cap out, there is always room to improve and there will always be mistakes to talk about. Even though a near-WR scorerun has mistakes, that doesn't make it inferior to a """"burfegt"""" run, none of us are trying to claim that, in the same way you wouldn't claim a slow no-damage run of an action RPG is superior to the world record speedrun of it, even though the latter might miss a few strats.

And for what it's worth, I see people actually mentioning their close calls on LNNs, it's not like they pretend it can't be any cleaner.

Start with IN or, if you use a keyboard, LLS. Practice for a normal clear there and learn what enemies do, while also trying runs on other games to train your overall skill. In some time the results will show.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17414560
Well I've been playing SA recently but I can't beat Yuugi without losing a life or two yet, since using bombs leaves you with 0 power left, then against Satori when I reach her final spellcard I can only hope to get the safespot done correctly (ReimuA). Best run so far was reaching Orin without dying once before but she brutally murdered me.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17414596
iktf about orin but did you literally not reach stage 6? That's harsh. Myself i got pretty stable against satori and yuugi, being able to get away with it by just bombing twice for each fight, so once i get better trained against orin i should be good to go against utsuho with a good amount of lives. Good luck with whatever you'll be going for.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17414668
Yeah, never got past Orin yet, I remember I had problems with the bombing system back in MoF but in that game I always manage to get my power back pretty fast. By the way have you considered doing Phantasm (Yukari) in PCB after beating Ran? I tried it out and got to the Shikigami Ran spell you might be able to beat her.

Anyways, I was about to start streaming, and then the bastard beside me goes "want to see a pacifist run?" Who in the world plays pacifist nowadays, you moron? I want to ask him, "do you REALLY want to play the whole game without shooting?" I want to interrogate him. I want to interrogate him for roughly an hour. Are you sure you don't just want to try saying "pacifist run"? Coming from a /jp/ veteran such as myself, the latest trend among us vets is this, lunatic no bomb. Lunatic no bomb means you give every spell card all you've got. But on the other hand the difficulty is a tad higher. This is the key. And then when you clear, it's delicious. This is unbeatable. However, if you attempt this then there is danger that you'll be marked by the score-runners as a survivalfag from next time on; it's a double-edged sword. I can't recommend it to amateurs. What this all really means, though, is that you, >>17414994, should just stick with your one credit clear.

It's initially somewhat uncomfortable and takes some getting used to. Besides it's not actually very common where you'd need to move up and down in a very short timespan, Touhou is a not a hori shmup.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17415334
Pretty sure it'd be 8462, at least, that's what I saw him doing in that YT video of him doing S4 opener graze. Besides, he used a red Row 1 1U keycap, as opposed to row 4 (I am assuming he just swapped ESC) for the down direction (height helps for hitting it with thumb), on a standard fullsize board like was visible there, the 0 is 2U, so it couldn't have been 0. Additionally, Touhou games natively support 8462, and you'd need Autohotkey to use 0, which also introduces additional delay.

Arrows are absolutely fine and if you have any muscle memory whatsoever it's better to stick with them. Starting out though, numpad might be a thing to consider, since it does have that mechanical superiority of separate up/down fingers.

>>17415400
You can't. You either use autohotkey to do it externally, reprogram your keyboard like a badass, or stick with either arrows or 8462 since those are what the games natively support.

>>17414273
SA was my first game, so you can tell why is the only one I've played on Lunatic.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17415535
I can't really tell from the video, though the grip really looks like 8460, similar to how my own hand is shaped (I use 8460 myself), or it could just be the power of small asian hands. I could not do 8462 at all, even with my numlock keycap on 2, too cramped. I personally don't have any input lag with ahk. I wouldn't really recommend learning it though, rarely do I feel like I benefit from this.

Marichouli isn't that bad, it can make the stages hilariously easier (at least the early ones) and her Utsuho fight isn't to bad, you can even end her last spell kind of fast with water formation on.

For now I'll get less misses as Yuyuko vs Mokou. Might also get more NBs on that same stage with other shots and idk play some of the other games, that SA chart looks very empty

I've only played Normal for SA, but I found MarisaB the easiest Marisa to play as.
Do you prefer even Nitori over Patchouli?

[Anonymous No.]

>>17415982
にとり is actually pretty powerful all things considered and her bomb is defensive, which makes you able to do better in survival mode, but it's also very useful as a deathbomb because deathbombing does the bomb effect while keeping the shield on. And if you don't get hit, you recover power AND you can grab the spell card bonus.

Range aside, there's not a single wrong thing about Nitorisa.

Strongest bomb in the game damage wise, and the only shot with a really solid spread at almost any power stage.

>>17415982
MarisaC was actually my first SA Extra clear and my first SA Lunatic 1cc. Her bomb is just that helpful, it makes up for her awful range and underwhelming power. It's actually kind of funny that the only major thing separating Marisa C from Solo Alice functionally is the bomb, and it makes a world of difference.

Not using stolen assets in a game you release is a pretty fuckin basic principle, but far too much of western internet culture involving stuff like sprite ripping, game modifications, and using unsourced art/music they found for whatever they want, have internalized to people growing up with it that it's totally fine and dandy. I'd argue this has helped mentalities surrounding stuff like open-source development, but it still has lasting effects on the artistic side. Thinking about it in terms of "nobody will care" or "they won't do anything about it" is ultra cancer.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17419923
I didn't mean it like that, I'm sorry. Also it is sourced, as all assets used in the game are given credit in the end scenes. I don't think ZUN would care if some fan used some sprites in a free fan made game but again, I don't know ZUN personally and I might be completely wrong. I do understand your point that people should get permission to use some other people creation.

[Anonymous No.]

Why do I even keep playing those games?
There is clearly something wrong here. The games themselves have become a huge grind that at the end, it is just not worth doing so.
If it is for enjoyment then that's already ruled out. If it is for just showing off, well that also doesn't work, no one knows about those games in the normie masses, they barely get views on Twitch and if you wanna show off then you can try, bt everyone will just go smug about it or be condescending.
At the end, you just play the exact same stuff for hours and days only to say you 1cc'd/LNB/got xxx score, it's so fcking retarded.

Anon it's a free game, released for free.
Is it technically illegal? Yeah. Is ZUN going to do anything about it? Not unless you try to monetize it like an idiot.
I'll agree that using assets that don't belong to you is lazy and immoral, but at the end of the day nobody is going to care if some passion project that's being released for free is doing something like that, not unless they're a big company who's trying to protect their image or intellectual property, which they do certainly have the right to do mind you.

Now, admittedly, ZUN doesn't want fangames giving people the wrong idea about what Touhou is about, so he might care about the stolen assets, but it's still unlikely that he'd take any extreme actions against it, especially if the creator isn't advertising his creation.

This part is not exactly true. Rather, this group started a Kickstarter fund for their project, and TSA sent Kickstarter a copyright violation notice, so Kickstarter took it down and sent the team their own notice.
Let's also not forget they were deliberately obtuse in all this, pretending not to understand doujin guidelines, never answering questions directly but responding with tedious 15-minute videos.

>I don't think ZUN would care if some fan used some sprites in a free fan made game
It's actually a part of the Touhou derivative guidelines that you can't use ripped assets. Whether he reaaaally cares that much is another thing, but it's like explicitly not "allowed".

>>17420189
>but at the end of the day nobody is going to care if some passion project that's being released for free is doing something like that
This was my point of addressing western internet culture, because over here we've just become accustomed to people taking stuff for whatever project for the sake of having non-MSpaint content and expecting it to be fine because "nobody will do anything". On the japanese side this is not considered acceptable, especially amongst Touhou circles. We only don't see any of that because of the degree of separation.

I don't blame you, it's really hard if you don't know how it works.
The most important tip to know is that the orange bullets that start to appear at about 75% HP are aimed at you. With this knowledge you can, with practice, consistently get to the phase where she also fires blue bullets at about 30% HP. From there, hopefully you have some resources left.
Whether or not you bomb the rest of the spellcard, be aware that the blue bullets also have a pattern to them.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17421464
Yes, but you also have to keep in mind that there's a difference in conduct between releasing something for profit, which is what a vast majority of circles do, and releasing something as freeware, which is what that one game is doing.

I've hit the point of complete stagnation where I just keep resetting practice runs after the first mistake despite them being practice runs. I feel like the blame goes to everyone calling PCB Alice an easy boss. I don't want to let anyone see I've repeatedly lost to an easy boss so I just keep resetting every time I get touched by her. I'm really thankful that PCB doesn't save spellcard statistics from runs in which you reset or I'd be so embarrassed that I'd have to delete my scorefile and start over.

Absolutely, but to doujin circles the line between selling a work and giving a work for free is basically nonexistent exactly because the only functional difference is whether you've used assets that were permitted to be used but only in free products. It's already expected that you aren't releasing works with stolen assets at all, whether free or not.

There are several "content" creators who have claimed to have made fan games. They have posted videos of these supposed games in action. They claim, however, that they can't release these games, even for free, because of "muh stolen assets".
Now, they are very likely full of shit, and are simply talented animators who are doing it for attention, but the fact that there might be games out there that are completely finished, but are not being distributed because someone is worried about stolen assets, those creators are the scum of the earth. Absolutely awful, immoral people, the worst wretches to crawl the earth. They deserve nothing more than a swift end.

Real talk. Dxk is probably the best current player at the moment. Megapulse and Deplore are also pretty super as well. Vcz too if he still plays. And Everlasting seems to have really solid potential as well.

We used to have chum, but he like freaked out and ragequit the community for no reason. Syaro seemingly retired. And Cactu is an outdated meme who begs for dicksuckings on discord but hasn't actually made any decent progress in years (nor does anyone even expect him to).

I also like to think that Zeems has good potential too, as he seems to really be working his way up in UFO land. Looking forward to more from you.

There's also Kana, who's been pushing onwards in EoSD for a while and even passed the 600 benchmark a while ago. Morth is also a really respectable player who obtained multiple records in SA and a nice TD WR.

Zil was a thing once but he hasn't played in a while it seems. But in his day he did some really inspiring PoDD runs, surpassing really insane levels with Chiyuri and I think Mima too. I think there was also another guy who touched that PoDD boundary too.... kirby, was his name? There was also Minogame who had something going on in PCB once but he seems to stop every time he starts resulting in wasted potential, and nowadays he resorts to cheap attention grabs from his "LP series".

This is really strange. I acquired a Touhou game by purchasing it and installed it through the CD. However when I try to run it it just gives the message "This program has stopped working." and quits. It works just fine when I copy the .exe from the "pirated" folder into the original install folder, despite them being the exact same size strange enough. My PC is Japanese local and I tried Windows XP service pack. I suppose it's more or less a non-issue as I can just use the other .exe but it still feels kind of wrong not to use the original despite having bought and installed it you know?

I love how you're basing all of this on a LNB he has done 2 years ago which was also one of the first LNBs of the game in the west (being a week after release).

Also, if you're that incredibly proud of doing different things on Junko than he does, I would like to see a replay of your LNB, now that LoLK has been fleshed out survival-wise much more than it was when Jaimers made his.

[Anonymous No.]

There is nothing remotely skillful about LNB clears. Nothing at all. Jaimer's expertise lies in his accomplishments in non-Touhou shmups. While you might think that he's relatively unskilled, that's only because you're looking at his Touhou achievements, which are pretty casual and far inferior to what he's actually capable of.

It really depends on what kind of playstyle you have, though i recall Marisa B has the same bomb cheese as she has in EoSD.

During the WWII Pacific War the New Georgia Sound was known as "The Slot" by Allied combatants due to its geographical shape and the amount of warship traffic that traversed it. The Japanese naval efforts to resupply their garrison on Guadalcanal were referred to as the Tokyo Express. A large number of naval battles were fought in and around the sound during 1942 and 1943, between the Imperial Japanese Navy, and the allied forces of the United States Navy, Royal Australian Navy, and Royal New Zealand Navy.

Talent is a meme, if someone gets good really fast they have a good routine or a background, not talent.

There's some physical factors that can theoretically throttle execution, and reaction time is of a slight importance, but these only start becoming relevant at an absurd level of execution, and don't have much to do with your rate of improvement.

I'm just really good at making retarded elaborations in the wrong areas. As for skill/talent, I started off playing like a pile of shit, advancing at the speed of my ass, and have just slowly and steadily improved, a bit faster lately due to more condensed practice. I see people with similar hours pulling higher achievements but they've also been challenging themselves more since the start, and challenge is the key to improvement.

Sure you might need good genetics to kill it on the trampoline or have the dexterity necessary to become a master violinist, but we're playing a game in which you press 4 buttons to move around through obstacles, you don't need anything absurd for that, just conditioning. As you use the pathways of your brain that do reading, they strengthen and you become better at reading. If you've never used them before they're not gonna be good, hence nobody LNNs in less than 100 hours of total shmup time.

He definitely got TD in <100. The ``4 years'' doesn't mean shit when you play 2 credits. There's also one korean with <20 spell cap history (bms player) MoF LNN and another korean with <100 hours in ufo for 2.9b.

>>17430540
Yats got TD LNN whithin a week of playing, basically just a few hours of credits. He also got LNBs in a matter of hours before that, without having to practice anything and virtually no experience. No amount of bullshit you're going to come up with can disprove the simple fact that talent is the only thing that matters.

Sure is strange. Was it always like that? I just started playing again after like two years of doing nothing and I'm happy about getting those normal clears on my first try, gonna try ramping up the difficulty. Most people here seem to concerned about LNN clears, e-celebs and genetics though. Makes one not even want to play the games huh?

[Anonymous No.]

>>17430651
Less than 100 in TD maybe, less than 100 in total absolutely not. He'd only have to play an average of 4 minutes per day to achieve that number rofl. Total Touhou hours are undoubtedly far far higher. First Korean guy might either be well-versed in shmupping in general, or tossed his scorefile at some point (scorefiles are not an absolute, keep that in mind as well). 100 hours is also more than enough to learn all the routing and tricks for UFO very thoroughly so provided you have very strong reading and movement going in, 2.9b is not at all unreasonable in 100h. And again, scorefiles are not an absolute.

It all comes down to background again. What I'm interested in, what I want to see, is this supposed mystical uber-talented superhuman who goes from never having touched a keyboard/controller to LNN in 100 hours, because this person does not exist.

>>17430688
TD LNN within a week of trying for LNN, having already LNBed and having had many hundreds of hours playing other touhou games. Of course you can casually shit out LNBs when you've got the proper background to do so.

This so-called "talent" is just skill amassed over time. Yats too started out struggling with Normal, and then struggling with Hard, and then struggling with Lunatic. I have no idea how you even manage to come up with this inane non-argument.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17430719
Even if he did have "many hundreds of hours" playing Normal mode (which he didn't) it still doesn't mean shit because you don't get better at Lunatic by playing normal mode. No, the fact is that he got to LNN level fucking instantly after he actually started to play seriously, and that's how it goes for most talented players. People who don't have talent have many more hours into these games than he does, and they'll probably never even reach the level he reached by playing for ~100 hours

[Anonymous No.]

>>17430719
why are you focusing on the 100 hours LNN point so much? The point was that people improve at different rates, and in certain cases it's quite noticeable.

I'm not going to throw out any names, but there are people who put a stupidly large amount of time into a category and still don't get very far. You can maybe say that they're not playing correctly, or they're stupid, or not trying hard enough, or whatever, but talent is definitely a factor. I know it's not a black and white issue, and hard work is absolutely important, but some people just get better faster.

Don't misquote me on this. Going from Normal to Hard to Lunatic to LNB across all games takes its time.

>>17430747
I am in a perhaps somewhat comically foolish manner still making an example of the initial 'first LNN in 50-150 hours of play' argument because that one was the most flagrantly incorrect.

Yes rate of improvement will vary somewhat from person to person, practice routine and effective time spendage matters a lot, but some brains are also just more stubborn or pliable. However, there is no aforementioned shmup ubermensch, nor is it impossible for some to get good. The argument of 'giving up because some talented person got LNN in 50 hours and you didn't xD' is absolutely ass-backwards retarded, and admitting defeat is the easiest way to kick your learning ability in the balls. Good mentality is a powerful asset.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17430786
This is the sort of thing that only talented players or really new players can genuinely believe. You know what creates a good mentality? Being good at the games to begin with. If you can actually see yourself improve over a short period of time, of course having a good mentality is simple. But it's just a byproduct of being good and has no bearing on your actual results.
Either way, you'll have to try and see for yourself. If you can spend a hundred hours in these games and not end up improving, you'll realize that you simply have no talent and no amount of "learning" will help.

[Anonymous No.]

I'm addressing talent as the 'impossible to get good because I don't have talons' meme. Having a somewhat taller mountain to climb is no excuse not to go for it anyways instead of whining about it. Focus on your personal accomplishment if seeing other human beings depresses you so much.

>>17430810
TD was literally his first touhou game back in the day so he's obviously played it plenty before outright going for LNNN. Signing up for TD Lunatic survival in a competition also heavily implies a large level of confidence in survival in that game so it's not like he randomly shat out LNNN instantly.

As for the hundreds of hours, I have no doubts about hundreds of hours before going for an LNN, because I have yet to see anyone get to that level or close to that level with less than at least a couple hundred. People like RB or DimentioK who near an LNN after a year and hours around the 500 mark are considered 'scarily fast', it is a simple fact of progression that getting there takes at least a certain amount of minimum time, and if it doesn't, then prove that. One instance of any person who goes from zero to hero in no-time. No background.

you don't seem to get that it's not about the fact that you struggle more, it's the fact that it's simply impossible to become halfway decent at these games without some amount of talent. you can have hundreds of attempts on the green books in EoSD and still be just as shit at them as you were before you started practicing. reaching LNN level without some form of talent is impossible, unless you spam tens of thousands of runs and hope one of them is lucky enough to clear (which is meaningless anyway because you're still shit)

This is another idea that exists off of nothing but confirmation bias and should be buried, along with the retarded idea of "talent doesn't matter just practice better/play more xD." "Good mentality" is only reinforced when you're getting better. Once you find yourself playing for say a thousand hours and not seeing any improvement, then you'll realize mentality doesn't matter, and begin to stop caring about it. You'll have talented players use "good mentality" as a reason for why they got so 'gud,' along with other crap like "hard work and dedication," while omitting the most important one: "superior genetics."

Not only that, there are tons of players with outright shitty mentalities that get world record level scores with relatively little effort compared to others. In fact, you can find several high scoring players (both Japanese and Westerners) whining about being shit/talentless and thinking about suicide yet get a world record or whatever the next day.

>it impossible for some to get good
When the standard of good is set by the best players (or at least a level relative to the best), then yes it is. The best players are obviously going to be the most talented ones. The talentless ones drop off and cap out at some point. Sure, you can think of your LNB or LNN or whatever score and your skill as "good" in your mind because you're satisfied with it, but unless that score is actually good relative to whatever the record is, then it's not good. So talentless players will never actually be good on an objective scale (and when the metric is score, then objectivity is the only scale relevant).

It's fundamentally flawed to think that all humans are equal, and given identical circumstances, practice methods, practice times and mentalities, a group of people will produce the same results after a fixed period of time. Genetics are no doubt the biggest factor, and don't meme me with "superior shmup genes xDD" in an effort to pretend you don't know what I'm talking about. Stuff like coordination, mental malleability, learning disposition, etc is the determining factor of what will make someone good on an objective scale, especially evident when it comes to scoring.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17433018
You're showing how little you know. Japanese players like soc or izumico are very strong at books and scarlet gensokyo (soc has like 60-70% cap rate on books for example).

Then you still have western players who reach 50% consistency on books and gensokyo. That's pretty much the bare minimum to consider going for LNN.

Counting unfocused Alice, Nitori is the second-highest dps shottype in the game, but that doesn't include the dozen+ REALLY WIERD situations you can get in to have higher dps, like Patchouli wood but only at 3 power and only standing behind the boss, or Aya full power but only when you're inside the boss, meaning only when you're bombing.

But everyone seems to think Nitori has weak dps in SA for some reason.

If you can't get over being super autistic about cap rates, just ignore them for now and get good at the game, then do a fresh install of the game so there's no records of the numerous capture fails.
Then people will be amazed at your 12/12 Alice card caps.

Get good at Trance, that's really all there is to it.
You get less resources because the game expects you to "abuse" Trance at least a little bit.

Im trying to record my game using OBS, the problem is it works fine with MoF onwards, but is pitch black for PCB to PoFV, and maybe even EoSD but I havent tried that. Can anyone help me fix this?

Screen capture for pre-MoF instead of game capture works.

>>17438243
Well my window capture just outputs the folder explorer even when I select the game window in it, and monitor capture doesnt output anything other than black screen. Im using classic OBS since the new version apparently dont work for my set up, and say something along the lines of check your NVENC and AMD settings, even when I have a pretty decent set up.

It's the only spell that I can capture pretty consistently, even on hard (Fixed Star doesn't count because safespot). Her hardest spell is Hell's Tokamak by far, it's claustrophobic as fuck and it fucks with my mind.
I've actually managed to capture all of her spells in normal EXCEPT Heaven and Hell Meltdown and I don't think I'll capture it any time soon. This spell makes me completely panic.

I'd like to apologize for deriding Marisa-Nitori as a shottype. She truly is fantastic for bosses. She's also very well-suited for Utsuho, I can deploy the shield in advance and stop fearing the bullets and all those clipdeath spell cards become so much easier.
Nitori is the first shottype I managed to beat Utsuho on a continue with, and that's not because I've gotten all that much better.

Huh? Regardless, renaming it is an easy fix.
Land Percuss is awful and hurts me, great job on that one. Overly bright bullets such as on Alternate Sticking are also one of the worst ideas ZUN had for DDC, having to do practice that spell until NMNB is something I don't envy.
I also like that you took the time to collect items, your bonuses were on point and you have a good feel for where the poc is.

I think it has to do with the fact that they haven't developed a replay engine for that page for games after TD.
I actually had to learn the harsh way how unforgiving the hitbox of the light orbs is during Den-Den Daiko.
Thanks anon! You have no idea how satisfying is to get that feedback actually since I highly dislike the scoring resource system in this game, there were many times in which I failed to go above POC several times and it costed me at least one bonus. Had I finished the Tsukumo sisters faster and not missed the bomb piece thanks to the laser in Den-Den Daiko I would have finished with full resources, but I was pretty close regardless. Thank you for watching!

On that note, I went for Mamizou this morning and stupidly missed Danmaku in Ten Transformations, after being forever stuck not capturing Full Moon Pompokolin and getting a replay before that where it's the only spell card I miss. Ah well, I shall get to it one of these days!
