i like that the checkpoints and explosion decorations are no longer a thing. even with the goasts floating around on the screen it's somehow less cluttered.

I hope the stage 4 boss kicks my shit in, I'm not sure if I'm just getting used to Touhou again but this game feels a bit easier to me than the previous.
I wasn't sure if I liked the music at first but once I got used to the instruments I ended up enjoying it quite a bit.

I really like stage 1 music, I think ZUN nailed it.
Stage 2 sounds like...a cow. I guess it's fitting.
Stage 3 felt rushed and all the danmaku were slight variations on UFO patterns (Omen of Purple Clouds, Rare Metal Detector, Murasa's nonspell)

I've noticed a lot of people seem to think that this game is easier than 16 and I don't get it at all. Is it a complete joke on Normal or something? The bosses on Lunatic are among some of the harder stage 1, 2 and 3 bosses in the entire franchise from my perspective. I can't think of anything remotely difficult about the first three bosses in 16 besides Aunn having some questionable nons.

Not him but I'd hardly call myself the best 2hu player ever and both times I 1cc'd the demo (ReimuA and YoumuA) I felt like I should bump the difficulty up to Hard.

I chalked it up to me getting better over time but with all these reactions I'm not so sure anymore.

It feels about the same to me on Normal; in both games' demos survival wasn't a challenge, but then I died a lot to stupid shit from getting too cocky and aggressively trying to optimize resource collection. But in any case, it's silly to judge based only on the demo.
>>21297992
I'm sure you could do the first half of most games on Lunatic even, but it's the second half that's important.

>>21297997
Hypers don't exactly make Lunatic easy though and if people are bombing and basing their opinion on the difficulty around that, then it makes no sense since if you need to bomb to clear the first three stages of any Touhou game, that's a pretty good sign that the game is probably quite hard. The only answer is that Normal has to be a joke if so many people seem to think even 16 is harder than 17.

Pretty much. The hypers are pretty much free super bombs every minute or so, allowing you to skip a lot of stuff. The thing that has by far killed me the most is the yellow pellets on stage 3 blending into the background.

Have you seen the otter hyper? Its essentially god mode. Whats more, if you are using otter sub it also lasts longer no to mention the stronger bombs and additional bomb count.>>21298119

Happens with the PC-98 themes, Old World has a part that is from Plastic Mind, Lunate Elf has a part that sounds slightly like the start to Ellen's theme.

Even UFO had predictable timers and didn't switch if you were close, and now ZUN's made it leagues more lenient by increasing the range it doesn't switch, slowing it down if you're close, and letting them stay on the screen forever. Plus grabbing one "wrong" spirit doesn't invalidate the rest of your stock. Stop being a baby.

>>21302176
You realize Otter hyper also cancels bullets right

>>21303732
Each midboss drops a rare animal if you fulfill a secret condition (don't destroy spirits, stay up close, defeat with otter active). If you finish the hyper you get 5 bonus animals instead of 2 and it includes life and bomb fish.

Fuck SA

Satori is one of my favorite boss fights so far, though. Her theme is fucking rad and with ReimuA the chorus lines up perfectly with her last three spellcards. Musical cues are something I've noticed ZUN is getting better and better at. (PCB stage 5, IN/MoF stage 4) Although I'm not sure how intentional it is within boss fights, when it does happen it's a real treat.

All games on the current engine slow down to pretty much exactly 50 fps whenever any significant amount of bullets is on the screen. The vsync patches fix this, but I haven't found patches for 14, 16 and obviously the 17 trial, so it's impossible for me to do any valid runs in these games right now. Windows 10.

Whatever faggot, I may be bad but it absolutely boggles my mind how people put MoF as an easier game than EoSD while to me it clearly is not. The only bad thing about EoSD is that some bullets may fly differently each time but other than that there is no hard danmaku at all.

He's still a moron for suggesting that MoF is harder than EoSD with that restriction. EoSD has a couple of Meiling patterns, Books, Patchy, Sakuya and Remilia. MoF meanwhile has a couple of Aya patterns and Kanako's final as the only things that should realistically have a chance of killing you on top of having Sanae who is probably the easiest stage 5 after Reisen.

Found the issue. Freesync (or at least nvidia's implementation of it) doesn't get along at all with 2hu games for some odd reason and syncs them to 50 fps most of the time. Deactivating it solves the problem.

not sure about /jp/ as a whole, but in gameplay threads the gatekeepers either left or gave up. folks either didn't recognize the medicine or weren't dedicated enough to start administering it themselves. i accept my share of the blame.
there seems to be a 4chan-wide decline, though. fwiw, /jp/ at least feels like a geriatric version of its former self if you hide the idol and template threads and hide/ignore obvious crossboarding, which can't be said for all boards (rip /vr/).

Now that I've played it more and have more than just a base impression, optimizing the gimmick is really hard. It's not as strict as UFO of course since every pickup can change color, but I find myself in the middle of a boss pattern with five different things to collect at once and trying to hover near them waiting for them to change color while also dodging patterns and making sure my sword can actually hit the boss is tougher than I expected. The final spellcard on Stage 3 also fucks me up because of the sword just destroying all the spirits at once. I accidentally grabbed wolf pickups heading into that one once, did not have a good time.

I like to stay near the bottom and close to the left, killing the UFOs that fall down on the left when convenient (so very few bullets come from the left side) and dodging the bullets from the right and the top.

If you use a controller like I do then use the D-pad. An arcade stick only makes sense for more fast-paced danmaku that need quick movements in any direction. You can dodge 80% of Touhou by making very precise left-right movements with slight vertical movements as needed, which is easy to do on a keyboard or digital pad.

Hyper-Slowpoke here, Chicken-chan's nonspells are too complicated to me holy fuck. I get the idea that you're supposed to navigate through the white bullets to not hit a wall while dodging the colored ones, but it still feels like it's going to take me a while until I figure out how to do it properly. I wonder if this is going to be the usual part of the stage 3 boss that ZUN tones down in the full version.
Overall, the game feels like some bizarre mix of PCB and UFO and I don't mind that.

Scanlines are an absolute meme. Pick up any consumer grade CRT and hook up any older console and you won't really see any. The biggest advantage of CRT technology is hiding how shit and low resolution the graphics really are which ironically would really benefit touhou games.

So I've been occasionally playing Touhou games casually since 2007, but I'd never 1cc'd one before. A couple weeks ago, with all the hype for the new game, I decided to sit down and try to 1cc EoSD once and for all.
I managed to do that with Reimu A & B and Marisa B, and I moved to PCB today and easily 1cc'd that one on my third try which definitely surprised me. I was expecting to have to work on it for at least a week or so.

EoSD Extra kicked my ass for five hours straight last night, so I know I actually still suck at 2hu. Is PCB just that easy? At any rate I am having a lot of fun finally playing these games "for real" and not just to listen to the music

Yes it's really that easy. Ton of resources, player hitboxes and bullets are at their smallest, characters move slower compared to later games allowing for easier precision movement, Reimu has a long deathbomb window and Sakuya has four bombs to abuse to bypass all of the threatening patterns. MarisaB is the hardest shot to clear with because she has no advantage over other types like ReimuB, MarisaA or SakuyaB, and only gets two bombs per life but she's still a joke.

ReimuA, MarisaB and SakuyaA can all break the game if you know what you're doing. MarisaB is the only true easy mode shot in the game since her bomb is a natural part of her kit and is what enables her to gain so many resources, whereas ReimuA and SakuyaA are roughly as good as most good shot types are in Touhou. It's only when you abuse their unintentional exploits to kill enemies significantly faster, that they reach the point of being easy mode, though some would argue that Sakuya's bullet slowdown is enough to reach that point.

There's only really one bad shot type, which is SakuyaB. Most people think ReimuB and MarisaA are unusable, but they're mediocre at worst and only really get overshadowed because they don't have any noteworthy positive attributes over their counterpart shot types. SakuyaB on the other hand has absolutely nothing going for her. Focusing is worse damage than unfocused shooting, her bomb is trash except for scoring and she still has to fight Yatsuhashi on top of that which is a death sentence for any B shot in survival play.

yep, although rank isn't a factor in story mode as far as i can tell. just stage and number of deaths on that stage (with time being added if you spend too long being passive). it might also depend slightly on the opponent, but that's getting into the weeds and komachi's the only one that i've noticed being a little strange in that regard.

i might have brought up rank when i (re)posted the mystia mirror image (not mine), but that would have been for ai mirrors because i think someone asked how long the ai would survive on normal. internal/spell/boss ranks still probably wouldn't make a noticeable difference though, with the possible exception of spell rank for reimu's l2s.

Been trying to learn the Youmu non misdirects but a problem I've been having is that sometimes she goes really high to the top left corner which makes it almost impossible to get there fast enough with Reimu. Is it random whether she goes high on the screen or is there a way to manipulate her movement so she'll always go straight left?

Maze is super easy once you have the coordination to make the movements, which people who just get started with Extras often do not have yet. It's kind of a gatekeeper pattern.

s1 deaths sounds like frustration and a lapse in focus. you can be liberal with bombs in the first two stages and still finish each with two power, which is plenty for each following stage.

you shouldn't be dying on s3, not usually at least. each of yuugi's attacks has an approach that makes it much easier to handle (except for her first and last spells). 1-4 bombs for the boss: maybe second non, likely second spell (twice if need be), and maybe last spell. you can consistently nb the other attacks. you can also route the stage so you only need to bomb once shortly before the boss (with a free bomb on the midboss second non or spell if something goes awry) and get to the boss with nearly full power.

if you aren't getting it, check out a nb replay. and you can pick up spoileral or a practice patch to make your practice more efficient and less frustrating. spoileral in particular makes it much easier to try different things against boss attacks because you can turn on invincibility and pause boss timers.

sa can seem impossible because it will punish you for not tackling it properly, moreso than earlier games. but do it right (really learning its tricks and polishing your route) and you'll have a ton of bombs for the tough stuff (final spell notwithstanding). and r-a is the easiest shot type to use and has a relatively easy clear, so you're fine there.

Some days you just have to except it's not happening. On those days you'll die in the first few seconds of stage 1 to something you've killed a thousand times over, and then the next day you'll blast all the way through to stage 5 flawlessly
The trick is not letting it get you down, because anger and frustration just invites more mistakes.
Persevere, because mark my words, you will get there in the end.
