Let's discuss the touhou games.

Previous thread >>18424872

Which game is best for survival? Which game is best for scoring?

>Which game is best for survival? Which game is best for scoring?

Very nice question that definitely won't lead to a shitwar like last thread.

Anyways, I'm saying UFO for survie, EoSD for scorie.

You can't really cheese UFO unless you maybe construct a really good UFO resource route. Because of that, the game is pretty balanced and more demanding than most 2hus (which I personally enjoy).

I don't have too much scoring knowledge but I like EoSD's scoring because it demands survival fundies while also having a nice amount of scoring tricks. PCB is too overwhelming with scoring tricks, MoF is too much survival and I don't like how the score progresses. EoSD hits those notes a lot better to me. IN is also cute I guess.

For me it's UFO for survival as even a vanilla 1cc will always be a challenging, unless maybe you've spent 10 hours in practice mode learning stages for resource cheese? Meanwhile every other touohu except perhaps EoSD lets you cheese with no previous routing if you are willing to try it.

For score it's PCB, it's a masterpiece. It rewards all the right things with score.

Hold shift for focused movement.
Use bombs if you get yourself into a situation where you are not confident that you can get out, only do what you feel is a risky maneuver if you are out of bombs.
Unlock stages for practice mode using continues, then use practice mode to make a route that feels safe.
If you keep at it your brain will eventually help you get better and in a few weeks you'll probably 1cc.
Starting a credit on normal or even lunatic once in while might also help you improve to some degree.
If you don't care about spoilers and you can't figure out some of the trickier spells or stage sections you could go look at replays or videos of other people beating the game.

Survival: EoSD cause of personal bias and it's the game I've played most
Scoring: I'm a big sucker for PCB scoreruns, the yusuke replays feel almost like the person behind the screen is a robot. Very mesmerizing in a way. UFO scoreruns are also pretty fun to watch. If I ever scored it'd be EoSD though.

Disagree. UFO's resource system is absolute garbage. Minute differences in player movement, spawns, hidden off-screen fairies, and the times when UFO fairies die make it virtually impossible to actually consistently route the stages, and it becomes a matter of "just wing it lol". This is fine on Normal, frustrating on Lunatic. It's not a fun system, not for survival, and even less so for scoring. UFO is only fun during no-miss attempts where you can ignore the resource system entirely and deliberately; but how many players here can honestly say they're at LNN level?

???
Anon you're replying to here, I can't tell how you would come to this conclusion. Routing works pretty similarly across difficulties; at the very least Lunatic routes basically also apply to lower difficulties. "Minute differences" in movement don't really matter as long as you're in the right place at the right time. There's also only one off-screen UFO fairy and it isn't even important. I'm not going to say I'm extremely consistent at executing my route but it's pretty much second-nature and well enough resources to clear if I don't suck that day.

original UFOposter here, I have had LNBNV for quite a while now so yes I can make that bold claim

UFO's main """""""""""""flaw"""""""""""" is that it takes actual effort to learn and route, while also being popular for having confusing, glowy, super random patterns as well. So both route players and fundie players seem to get buttfugged at some point and feel like the game isn't fit for them. You just need to bite through that until you can control both routing and dodging at a "passable" level. But again, UFO sets the bar very high without any real cheese strats to save your butt, and that can make it frustrating especially for first hard/luna 1cc.

>Disagree. UFO's resource system is absolute garbage. Minute differences in player movement, spawns, hidden off-screen fairies, and the times when UFO fairies die make it virtually impossible to actually consistently route the stages, and it becomes a matter of "just wing it lol".

The UFO pieces always spawn in the same way, and the most random stage parts can be canceled out with half-decently timed UFO cancels. Also player movement is not really more or less minute as it is in any 2hu as far as I've noticed. Off-screen fairies and "the moment UFO fairies die" can all be routed pretty easily so I don't really see the problem there.

>UFO is only fun during no-miss attempts where you can ignore the resource system entirely and deliberately; but how many players here can honestly say they're at LNN level?

Try playing UFO without collecting UFOs. You'll start to miss them very quickly.

Stage 1 bosses can still have hard patterns. Just like how stage 5 can have easy patterns. Come back when you LNN Minoriko, Yamame and Seiran 19 out of 20 times and then someone might listen. I am an SAfag but that non has issues and might be in the top 10 of hardest SA Lunatic patterns.

Trying to work through TD Lunatic, I'm finding it one of the harder Lunatic games just because of how stingy it is with resources. Then again, I haven't spent much time in spell practice. But if you die once on Stage 4, and once on Stage 5, that only leaves you with like ~3 lives for the last boss. Maybe that's enough? Other games give you a lot more resources

For the most part it hasn't been that bad, though I still haven't started the last day. It's just the scenes that are hard in this game are incredibly frustrating compared to other games. And a lot require absurd luck, like 6-5 and 9-5. Even so, before 5-2 I only really struggled with like three other scenes, and none of them were as bad as this one.

it's not lunatic but i've found sanae is by far the best shot in TD if you want to resource whore the game. she does as much damage as everyone (except slightly less than reimu), stages are just as easy as reimu too. What makes her good in TD is her ability to unfocus shotgun which generates a ton of spirits. Her bomb guarantees you fill at least 1/3 of the spirit gauge because it lets you shotgun, so you get nearly infinite trances.

Grats on that Hard 1cc, but Sanae is by far the WORST shot in TD. She does the least amount of damage compared to everyone else (her unfocused shotgun is still weaker than Marisa's focused shotgun and her trance is tied for the weakest along with Reimu's), and TD stages are pretty self-explanatory anyway. Her ability does come in handy on occasion, but she's going to be getting the same amount of trances compared to the other three regardless. If she's getting 'nearly infinite' trances, so are the other three.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 5 21:47:05 2018 No.18550530 >>18550462 I respectfully disagree. Marisa and Sanae do almost the same damage at distance. Sanae gets 1/3 of her spirit gauge with every bomb, no matter where it's used on the screen. Marisa doesn't. And Sanae's stages are much easier.

These are some damage calcs on Guze Flash with iframes. Marisa is certainly stronger than Sanae. As for the bombs, if you care about spirit gain, then you want to bomb in front of the boss's face anyway. That's the entire point. And again, TD stages aren't that difficult with any shot.

Also, you should try to cap Yoshika's final on Lunatic with Sanae. After that, do it with the other three. You'll see the difference perfectly.

Sometimes you bomb when you aren't in front of the boss. Sanae gets 1/3 of her gauge no matter where you bomb. Marisa gets 0.

>2% difference in far damage
It's fucking nothing. This isn't SA where one shot is dealing 25% more than others.

And Sanae gets to shotgun much more because of her bomb, which more than makes up the difference in shotgun damage. And Reimu is dealing more damage than Marisa at range.

>>18550584
When it comes to TD, you really want to spend those bombs in front of bosses for trance gain. That way you can get optimal use out of them. It's all about shotgunning.
And since TD is all about shotgunning, Marisa's benefits in strength and a stronger trance to utilize outweigh Sanae's 'enhanced' trance gain and decent shotgun (which is admittedly fun to use, honestly).

git gud skrub isn't an argument and doesn't excuse poor game design. They're right, UFO is by far the worst 2hu game, and I've never seen so many people actually defend it.

Shit stage design, shit mechanics, shit characters, and even the worst music in the windows games (which is still salvagable because it's ZUN we're talking about, but still).

If I wanted to play something difficult for no other reason than having shit mechanics I'd play Len'en on that retarded Absurd mode, or stick to CAVE games which do difficulty with resource management much better.

It is when all your arguments are subjective and you blame the game for things you could easily solve yourself and implement into your gameplay. Enemies shooting offscreen (I don't even know where you see this happen) and UFO fairies dying at bad moments are problems that can get resolved with basic routing.

>Shit stage design
Examples please
>shit mechanics
Learn to route, and examples please
>shit characters
Uh, sure lol.
>worst music in the windows games
Too subjective for me to give a shit, but it just feels like this and the character complaint are just an extension of your gameplay salt and an excuse to whine more. Same thing happened when LoLK came out and everyone was jerking each other's willy for for calling literally everything the game does "terrible".

Stages 5 and 6 have better routes for greens than the previous stages. Stage 6 is basically all greens if you're going for survival, and Stage 5 can be routed pretty well for either. If you want to clear, the goal is basically to stockpile bombs near the end and then unload on Shou and Byakuren so they threaten your life stock as little as possible.

true, but it isn't a gimmick that affects how you play the game. you can try to avoid point items and grazing if you're playing for survival, but the impact of that will be minimal compared to other factors. and you can't do anything if you're playing for score.

>oh my, look at this ignoramus thinking yukari is an extra mode boss. I pity his inferior intellect.

Everyone knows yukari is phantasm u homo. Everyone classifies "phantasm" or "Yukari" or whatever the fuck as Extra because there is nothing special about Phantasm gameplay-wise except the unlock method. She just wears a nice "phantasm" title, but she fits right in with the extras and at least half of the extras are harder. So why the fuck would she deserve a league of her own? Being all pedantic when someone doesn't specifically say "oh and yukari by the way she is phantasm I am fully aware but she fits in with the rest of the extra bosses in terms of gameplay so I think it only makes these comparisons more thought-provoking if I add her because excluding her would just be terribly arbitrary" is gay.

SA uses the Riri practice patch, which is OK but a few patterns are fucked up and not the same as their ingame counterparts.

I had this same issue with UFO because Nazrin's pendulum spell is broken with Riri.

In my personal opinion you can't go wrong with just bombing the card. You immediately get 0.5 power dropped from Yuugi, and in the top right corner are more red fairies. You can get most of the power back immediately.

You can, but you shouldn't, you would end up just dying and having to restart, I recommend to unfocus move out of there, the ball circle is not that hard if you have quick reflexes, just read the position, but the priority is getting out of the rainbow express.

Futo is a piece of cake in any difficulty, the only remarkable part is her second non-spell. Youmu's first spellcard is actually pretty brutal on lunatic but after that the battle becomes a lot easier because of the gimmicks provided. Satono and Mai are beyond retarded, their spells require more skill that most things in the game only surpassed by Okina's last spells (mostly spring)

mai and satono are not as difficult as clownpiece, shou, or orin. most of their things are static. the one tough spell that isnt (behind festival) is not as hard as orin's Needles of Yore. And releases count as spell card captures, with releases they are even easier.

And this is ignoring the difference in resources. HSIFS gives you a ton more resources to deal with them, on top of shots (like Marisa Winter) that can kill Behind Festival in nearly 10 seconds.

fired up HSIFS again and it's not even as hard as Sakuya's nonspells. Even without release they die fast, and I'm not even sure why it's a question because releases are captures.

Maybe if you picked Aya Autumn or some crappy shot I could see what you mean. Marisa Winter makes HSIFS a joke. Practice mode doesn't even factor in laser stacking.

Zun was way to scared to make Reisen more harder than he should so he sticked with fewer bullets on screen and more on gimmicks, which are easier, the only thing you need in Reisen is reaing her bullet track far ahead. Youmu on the other hard overwhelms you with bullets and crazy fast patterns with weird movements.

>False. TD has a drought of resources, so it's harder because the punishment for failure is much higher.
That doesn't make it harder than PCB.
The patterns are simple and easy (Miko's summon spell, for example).
It gives you tons of health and bomb spirits (along with the trance you get double the points so getting many lives is not an issue).

This is wrong. TD gives you less resources than PCB.

TD:
You get lives at 10, 12, 15, 18 spirits. It is nearly impossible to get the 20 spirit life. The game gives you 4 extra lives, the least of any game.

PCB:
You get extra lives at 50, 125, 200, 300, 450 and 800 point items, plus two extra lives from Stage 3 and 5. That's a total of 8 extra lives, which is twice what TD gives you.

AND you get borders in PCB, which are basically free bombs / lives. AND sakuya in PCB gives you 4 bombs per life, vs. 2 in TD, which far outweighs any green spirits you collect.

The shot type you use largely depends on what you're comfortable with and how much difficulty you want at Patchouli. On Normal ReimuA has the easiest fight and ReimuB has the hardest. MarisaB has the second easiest fight but she also can kill most Spell Cards with one bomb.

How does scoring even work in EoSD? I tried for a better score and got less than my first 1CC. The reason is that I tried some risky strats and died a lot, I beat Remilia with zero lives and zero bombs left.

>>18587203
ReimuA if you don't want to spam bombs (and for Patchouli), ReimuB if you're good at staying under the enemy and you can handle Patchouli's hardest, MarisaB if you like to shotgun bosses whereas in a normal 1CC I'd have at least two lives and a bomb or two left.

EoSD scoring is getting a lot of graze and then getting big cancels for the most part. The graze makes the cancels worth more. Cancels can also be gained by spamming bombs at certain parts (like stage 3 Meiling), Other than that, POCing items and spell captures are good.

I haven't been able to normal 1cc EoSD as MarisaA in past two days. It feels like she doesn't have the damage output of ReimuB or MarisaB to clear stuff fast enough. And I'm not even stuck at specific spells (except maybe Patchouli's lasers and ironically Misdirection if I fail to misdirect), it's just a slow trickle of stupid deaths every time. Guess I have to keep trying.

There's a really easy way to do Patchouli nons. You can sit inside of the spell circle around her to get some easy pointblank dps at the start. Right before the laser is aimed directly under her, just go near the bottom to left side of the screen then stream right and if you time it properly you'll pass through the laser right as the hitbox despawns. Continue streaming the aimed stuff and once she starts the second laser cycle just stream back in the opposite direction.

People put down a variety of categories and then people are matched up to the same category. For example, 4 people who put down eosd lunatic survival could get matched up, taking into account skill level so that the competition isn't one sided.

Shot differences exist. I'm not denying that, but they don't matter nearly as much as you make it out to be. A spellcard lasting a few seconds longer is irrelevant towards anyone decent and doesn't equate to the shot being at fault. It is literally your own fault for not dodging the bullets well enough that you get hit. If you are having trouble to the point where a few seconds of added time to a spellcard is making you die, then you aren't as good as you think you are. How about you practice and better yourself instead of pushing the blame onto something else? This isn't even about "getting good." You faggots come here and complain about retarded things instead of analyzing what you did wrong and trying to learn from your mistakes.

Which doesn't matter at all when you can consistently capture the card. The fact that you are even complaining about this means you can't and blaming the shot instead of practicing to be able to do so.

You only need the creativity. People greatly overestimate how much control you need to have good patterns when really it's all about how things unfold. Most people end up trying to do overly fancy shit and it plays awful because they're more focused on doing something "cool" than having something playable and well-designed.

>>18598142
I would make these waves more packed together in some way (less uniform). There isn't much cohesiveness to the pattern so especially once the slower bullets start coming they look just stuck in the middle of everything. The overlapping of waves across time is good though, that's what creates interesting situations.

Git gud is a lazy excuse for shot imbalance. The harder the achievement you're going for is, the bigger the difference in shot types gets. I personally find the extra challenge fun to deal with, but most people can't be assed to deal with that and will just use the better shot type because what they're doing is really hard in the first place and they don't need to put more sticks in their own wheels. Also when it comes to patterns with heavy RNG variance you want to end that stuff as fast as possible, even then, the longer a pattern lasts the higher your chances of dying are in the first place, and if your goal is to not die or bomb at all you're still inconveniencing yourself. All those lowered capture rates add up after a while and become pretty significant. Scoring's a bit of a different ball park depending on whether you want a good scorerun relative to what shot you're playing as or just big numbers, like for example in DDC Sakuya B makes big numbers really easy to get compared to the other shot types who'll struggle to get as much score as she does, no matter how good your play is. You just have to know what you're getting yourself into when playing a specific shot type, and saying that the differences are irrelevant and stop complaining since they could just play better doesn't account for exactly how much better one has to play, and in some cases it's quite a significant amount.

Anon, no one has 100% caprates on cards or sections that matter. Doing a DDC SakuyaB lunatic 1cc is leagues above doing a DDC ReimuA lunatic 1cc. ReimuA in EoSD also does worse than the other shots. Having to sit 3 more seconds on Killing Doll can easily be your demise. Not to mention that this would happen for all difficult RNG cards.

Some shots are just worse and there is nothing you can do about it. As other anons pointed it out, the more time you spend on a hard or RNG spell card, the higher are the chances of missing. It's a statistical thing really.

Phantasm Stage is about on the level of other Extra stages. It's also quite similar to the Extra Stage, so you'll have more of an idea of what to expect going in. Add in the border system and overall I'd say it's easier than most other Extra stages, except perhaps HSiFS.

I'm trying to figure out how to dodge PCB Yuyuko's spellcard Deadly Dance "Law of Mortality -Dead Butterfly-" by going around her at the top. There are two reasons I want to do this:
1) It's for a scorerun, and it's easier to graze this way.
2) It seems like if I can figure it out, it will be more consistent than dodging at the bottom half of the screen.
I've noticed that the orientation the butterflies come out changes every few cycles. Than in and of itself is not a huge problem, but I'm having a hell of a time dealing with the big bubble bullets when I have to change direction. When they are first fired their positions are fixed, but then they become aimed at the player, which usually closes off the space I have to go through to switch directions. Has anybody else tried capturing this spellcard this way?

It really depends on the chosen difficulty and if someone considers heavily exploiting the resource system to affect how difficult a game is. You probably aren't going to receive an accurate answer without elaborating a bit more on which difficult and whether you're asking for pure survival play or no bomb / no miss play.

I don't know what I am doing wrong so I want to ask. I am using SpoilerAL in English and I assume I am doing it right by opening EoSD, toggling Power MAX on and clicking the Spellcard Rush I want against Flandre and going to Extra Start, but my game crashes after Flandre pops up. What am I doing wrong?

>>	Anonymous Wed Mar 14 15:07:24 2018 No.18609672 >>18609607 Should be. Vpatch is fine, just can't use retexture or english patch.

You sure man? I've been using this strategy with no problems and compared to Junko this spellcard is easy peasy. But I don't know if that anon met pure Mama so depends it on him.

>>	Anonymous Wed Mar 14 15:20:42 2018 No.18609721 >>18609689 That moriyashrine site has a download which has both the english patched and vanilla game in the folder. If you just throw your vpatch stuff in it, it will automatically default to the vanilla one.

That's my problem then, I was starting at her bottom left instead. I'll try that later and see if it works. Thanks for the advice.

On Normal for pure survival, in order of increasing difficulty, I'd rank them as the following (from my experience):
MoF < PCB < HSiFS < IN < EoSD < TD < DDC (SakuyaA) < UFO < DDC (Not SakuyaA) < LoLK Pointdevice < SA

Here are the reasons for some of the rankings:
MoF: can bomb through the whole game, moderate amount of extends
PCB: borders can be broken and used like a bomb, get a lot of bombs and extends
HSiFS: game throws resources at you, can use releases like bombs, really easy to get a ton of extends
IN: get a lot of extra bombs, moderate amount of extends, very generous window to use bombs when you get hit
EoSD: danmaku is not that dense compared to later games, get a decent amount of extends and bombs
TD: really easy patterns on Normal, resource system requires routing to fully game it but not hard to get enough extends and bombs to carry you through the game
DDC: SakuyaA is broken, easy to get an insane amount of extra lives and bombs
LoLK: Sanae and Reisen are broken, if you have the patience then PD mode makes up for the difficulty
SA: easy to get a lot of extra lives early on, easy to lose them all later. Much less power drops than MoF, so you have to be stingier with your bombs. Patterns are difficult all around. Fuck Orin and her stupid zombie ghost fairies and fuck Satori for having such a bullshit boss as a pet.

I haven't really played LoLK Legacy on Normal so I don't know where it would fall. Probably depends more heavily on the shot type.

I'm saying that the circular movement is easier to execute once you can do it at all, and that if you have difficulties learning how to do it at that level of skill (which many do) you should just bomb the card anyway instead of trying to squeeze because ultimately that's more reliable, and it only takes one bomb. There shouldn't really be an in-between where bombing is too much but circling around is still too hard.
