I refuse to use bombs against bosses and only rarely use them against small fry when it's all over the place because it makes me feel like I'm just cheating myself. If I can't get through without bombing it just means that I fucked up and have to try harder.
Anyone else like this?

I never use bombs.

Your touhou orgasms when she bombs. You are depriving your touhou of pleasure.

I'd agree, but still bomb infrequently.

I can't bomb anymore because of Cave games.

I just finished PCB Normal and died with a full stock each time. Don't even try to counter-bomb. Damn you Ikeda.

Exactly.
It's nice to know that there is at least one other person who thinks rationally.

Quite the opposite. If I ever die with bombs or potential to bomb then I feel wasteful.

I bomb because I suck. The only game I've managed to 1cc on normal is IN :<

I only bomb when I see I'm going to die, or if I'm scared of something.
However, I very often get hit by an unexpected bullet.

I bomb because it's part of the game and all.

I try to avoid it though, and often die with one or two in my stock.

I can only bomb if I'm on lunatic or on extra stages. That's the only reason I got through Flandre.

>> No.2230070

Not bombing is just an artificial way to increase difficulty.
The game is designed with bombs in mind. If it's not hard enough already why not just play something other than easy mode?

>> No.2230079

The only reason I don't bomb is because...well, I forget I HAVE bombs to USE.

Whenever I die, i feel like I wasted a perfectly good life.

>> No.2230090

I only bomb when I'll certainly die within the second. When its just a difficult part I rather try dodging through it. So i usually die with almost all bombs left.

I bomb strategically at certain points in stages, and on spellcards that I know from experience I have virtually no chance of capturing; I especially bomb on nonspells in EoSD and IN because it doesn't really penalize you any (I bomb Tewi's attacks every single run, for example). And obviously if I have an unavoidable wall of bullets that I can see coming.

Otherwise I tend to die instead of bombing if it's anything I think I should be able to handle; it especially happens in MoF and SA where I tend to get blindsided by bullets that I didn't see (MoF mainly) and bombing too much would leave me fucked on power.

The problem is I'm stuck between Normal and Hard; I can't beat most games on Hard even agressively bombing (although I *barely* 1cc'ed IN Hard with Border Team and max lives), but I can easily beat Normal if I bomb spam, making it pointless to keep playing like that once I've already 1cc'ed. So I end up playing Normal and trying to play for score or just trying to capture as many spellcards as I can; which usually results in me failing to even 1cc, especially in PCB.

NO BOMBS
NO SPELLCARDS
REIMUB ONLY
FINAL DESTINATION

So you're going to intentionally not capture any spellcards? I mean, it's already been established that you're not using your own spellcard (NO BOMBS).
