New Danmaku Thread!


Weekend thread as requested.
Requests open like all the time.

First game is Perfect Cherry Blossom, Phantasm Stage.

Score based round.


Any character and weapon allowed.

Rules for Phantasm game.
1. You can try all the times you want, but just make sure you post score in time.
2. No replays (the run must be played by you and at the moment).

Time limit will be determined by the number of entries. Round may stay open until the end of the thread.

[Anonymous No.]

I would if I could.

Guess I should keep working on Extra Stage.

[Let's Play some Danmaku. No.]

Captured half of the spell cards. I find Yukari way easier than Ran.

'Xanadu of Straight and Curve' is easy mode compared with 'Charming Siege from All Sides'. As well as 'Yakumo Yukari's Spiriting Away' to 'Princess Tenko -Illusion-'. Also 'Balance of Motion and Stillness' and 'Ran Yakumo' are really easy spell cards.

Good run, having in mind it is only my second time beating Phantasm.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2961942
>I find Yukari way easier than Ran

Are you trolling? The only easier part about Jewkari is the first two cards you mentioned. I can easily beat Ran with most of my lives/bombs left, but Yukari still kills me sometimes.

[Anonymous No.]

Yay, Phantasm! I haven't played PCB in months, so it's good it's something easy like Phantasm instead of Extra.

[Let's Play some Danmaku. No.]

>>2961985
Not really.

'Charming Siege from All Sides' have more dead ends than Yukari's counterpart. 'Princess Tenko -Illusion-' speed is deadly. I have to admit some of her spell cards are easier, but I end up screwing up most of them. I guess I need more practice.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2962025
I know, I agreed with you on those two cards. But aside from that, all of Yukari's cards are harder to me. The stage is also a bitch.

Of course this is all opinion.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2962004
Shitty run ^______________^;;

Died two times in the stage. First Yukari death was to Ran Yakumo.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2961942
>>2962025
At last someone who agrees with me. Yukari's only cards that pose significant difficulty are Mesh of Light and Darkness, Danmaku Bounded Field, Double Black Death Butterfly and Boundary of Humans and Youkai. Two of those can be handled by one, maybe two bombs, as they come in waves of difficulty.

Whereas Ran will rape your face with Charming Siege, Tenko, Shikigami "Chen"/Banquet of 12 Generals if you aren't used to those and so forth. Not to mention Chen is significantly harder than Ran, the latter's cards being very easy to figure out.

To date I have never captured Tenko whereas the only Yukari card I haven't handled in my 20ish full Phantasm runs is her last, which I can't be assed to memorize. I can do 11/14 runs without too much effort on Phantasm but can't consistently clear Ran.

[Anonymous No.]

[Anonymous No.]

>>2962100
Try capturing all their cards on Lunatic.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2962148
I have. It was probably the easiest stage 4 Lunatic I've played. Of course, PCB is the easiest game on all difficulties (except Easy, where IN takes the cake).

That's not to say it's not one of the best Touhous. I'm just saying it's not very challenging compared to the rest.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2962166
In the same run? And all of their non-card attacks? With your eyes blindfolded?

[Anonymous No.]

>>2962100
Four of their six character-specific openers absolutely suck as the difficulty rises, maybe reduced to three with multiple uses of misdirection for Lunasa's first noncard. When the trio forms up for their first spell it may be one of the first that actually calls for streaming and cut-backs to survive. This may not be obvious to the uninformed player on Easy / Normal when they probably aren't looking at the larger picture. For Normal at least the sister you end up with next may have a spell that probably won't be captured so easily compared to other spells on that level, and Hino Phantasm can be a piece of shit. Prism Concerto is also difficult when you tackle it from the middle, and if you do handle it from the sides you're faced with bullets coming from such an angle at almost the same time when they perform their third moveset. The 1CC hopeful likely isn't going to breeze through it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2962100
Sakuya and Reimu's Prismrivers, ESPECIALLY Sakuya's, have a couple bullshit hard spell cards. Marisa is so much harder to 1cc with that it doesn't come close to making up for her having an easier Prismriver. The last, shared card is also annoyingly luck-based sometimes.
I'd rank them as easier than IN Marisa and Aya, but considerably harder than Patchy (lunatic with Marisa excluded), IN Reimu, or Satori.

[Let's Play some Danmaku. No.]

>>2962064
I'm the same here. I can beat Yukari in the third or fourth try (since if I die way too much I prefer to reset the level instead of waiting of running out of lives) since it takes me a little longer on Ran.

>>2962085
Weird, I captured that one. Do you max out borders in Bewitching Butterfly?

>>2962100
Are you playing on normal? I have only see the Prismsriver in Hard, but they are pretty much a pain.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2962170
No, no, and no. I can usually capture 3 of them on the same run, though.

>>2962177
I'm still not seeing it. Maybe it's because I focus on staying alive and not maximizing score.
In before BAWWWing

[Anonymous No.]

>>2962177
So it simply isn't sitting at the bottom and moving left and right. Merlin's opener also requires a little planning if you want to have an easier time with it, and Lyrica's second spell can be quite the cluster of bullets on Easy.

I will agree that the other stage four battles are easier on Hard / Lunatic, but the Prismriver fight on the lower difficulties isn't so friendly.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2962191
>are harder on Hard / Lunatic

[Anonymous No.]

>>2962184
I usually play on Hard for PCB. I can consistantly 1cc it, so there's no tension involved.

Anyway, I'm not gonna bother arguing about it. Everyone seems to have difficulty with different cards/bosses.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2962201
>Everyone seems to have difficulty with different cards/bosses.
Indeed. I'm probably the only person who finds Nuke-tan considerably harder than Orin.

Pretending to not be the huge bitch she is

MERLIN.

BECAUSE OF FUCKING MERLIN, MY PCB RUNS HAVE BEEN RUINED FOR MANY, MANY MONTHS

[Anonymous No.]

>>2962219
Actually, I agree with you there. I always thought Utsuho was harder than Orin too.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2962219
Kinda agree. Although I still hate Orin's super fast spell cards.
But I'm getting better with her spell cards once I get used to knowing the dead ends.

Utsuho's however, requires full concentration, with very little space to quickly maneuver through her red huge orbs and her pink fast moving orbs. And her second last card is a pain to get through, safespots where? ;_;

[Let's Play some Danmaku. No.]

Yes, Utsuho is harder than Orin. At least her first and second spell cards as well as her non-spell cards attacks.

5 minutes!

[Anonymous No.]

>>2962085
Yes, but not this run. Other missed borders came from timing issues such as not ending Yukari's Spiriting Away right after she fires a wave or not squeezing out a border from her third noncard because I was impatient and didn't stop shooting when tapping focus.

>>2962201
I think most bad memories lie in Easy / Normal. On Hard it's quite obvious that Live Poltergeist is streaming and by that level people should know how to apply it. Bösendorfer Spirit Performance and Ghost Clifford are much more manageable (and Stradivarius too if you use the bypass technique). Stygian Riverside on Hard is also a step down from the spells that took its place on easier difficulties, and Concerto Grosso is about the same. Only you need to hole up in the left corner.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2962225
but you can choose the Prismriver Sister you will play against, so how about Lunasa or Lyrica?

[Anonymous No.]

>>2962305
Oh, just kidding. I was just raging against Merlin's ridiculous opener, which you have to face if you use Sakuya.

Prismrivers aren't that bad, honestly, even Merlin compensates her opener with her incredibly easy second noncard, their first card is basic streaming and the berserk Merlin glitch (which seems to always trigger on me for some reason) makes Stygian Riverside easier.

Stradivarius also has a "safespot" on Hard and a trick on Lunatic, so I often go for Lunasa.

Yuugi's last card was a hindrance to this challenge.

I'd play the MoF extra but the only character I have unlocked is MarisaA and I have no idea how to go about the stage using her so I always have a few deaths before Suwako.

I would have had a lot lower if not for the last card. I had about 70 going into it, but Reimu B's bomb doesn't destroy non-moving bullets. So I Bombed right on top of the boss thinking it'd just pre-emptively destroy the bullets but NOPE, I got like 150 graze almost instantly.

Getting late to challenges is bad because you'll see people who are infinitely superior to you and then you'll feel ashamed of your own score.

Well, I guess I should have killed myself a lot more of times and not cared so much about the points. Just... HOW can you not get a ton of graze on her last spell card? By killing yourself or not using ReimuA and bombspamming?

Yeah, the last spell card is the problem. I don't know how pic less anon did, but I had around 70-80 graze when I reach it too. Bombs don't help at all.

Maybe I can ask for some technical support here

EoSD (only EoSD) lags like crazy on my computer, whenever there's a lot of bullets/after a bunch had been destroyed (ie. Patchouli's first spellcard on extra) the framerate will drop down to like 18 for a while.
Any idea why this is happening? I tried reinstalling the game, but to no avail.

>>2969332
If you played Reimu B you can just sit at the bottom and bomb spam it, or suicide as soon as they start moving. Noticed that pretty quickly after my 150 graze failure.

OP here.

I'll try this later.

Normal mode winner: >>2969321.
Hard mode winner: >>2969321.

Next challenge is Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, Stage 5. Normal mode only.

Graze based round. The players with the BIGGEST amount of graze at the end of the stage is the winner.

I died on like her first or second boss card, but I had 848 when I died. Faded too quick to get a cap.

Fucked up on her first endstage noncard and completely missed out on Misdirection.

I ended up dying the first time around so this entry is ineligible

Also I scored just nine graze higher than the last time this challenge was done.

Hey it's that thread.

>Why don't you
>Try hard?
Donpachi is the funniest stg ever.

The ridiculous announcer voice plus ("Concentrate, kid!") the retarded text messages like "Shoot the weak point of the f__ckin' machine and do the best you've ever done", and of course the aforementioned "Why don't you try hard?" game over screen.

Thanks for playing.

Damn it, I forgot to remove the fucking hitbox patch after testing the fireball and bubble bullets. Now it'll look like I've used it all along. The link may as well stay up until the thread dies.

Just letting all the playfags know, TH12 v0.02 is out. Get it from ZUN.

Shit's been changed some. After one quick play, it looks like it takes more life star pieces(4?) to get a 1UP, but you get a free life star piece after each midboss and boss fight now. There may be other changes.

In other words, ZUN adjusted UFO's life reward system to match that of SA.

Is it only me, or did brofist become harder on Normal?

Just finished downloading. I'll tell you soon.

>>2969934
I thought all of Stage 3 on Normal felt a little harder, but that could be because I haven't played it in a while. Can't really comment on the brofists themselves, since anything involving Unzan kills my framerate and gets promptly frognuked.

[Let's Play some Danmaku. !JydwUZUzBE No.]

Ok here are the thing I noticed in my first run.

- No spell cards changes (at least on Normal).
- 4 pieces for "Extended!". Also once you beat mid-boss/boss you get another piece.
- Bombs still the same, overpowered.
- The bug with the bosses eating the UFO's score rewards is fixed.
- Green UFOs are the same as well as Rainbow (as far as I remember).
- UFO still kickass.

Downloading to try it out. I hope it still lets you keep extra bombs (Even if dying with bombs is not what you'd like to do)

Can someone tell me if the death penalty still the same? Download is slow as hell.
