They've always been like that, but you're right in that we could make an updated version with a larger size.
Pic related is double sized, it actually ends up looking worse because the browser needs to scale it down instead of up. A version with 150% the original size would look best but it needs to be made by hand (instead of just scaling with nearest neighbor like pic related) for it to look good.

I don't know how I didn't expect Flandre to actually be unable to use the game's main Water gimmick but yeah it just makes sense. Overall i'm glad I decided to go through 17.5 as 1cc/No Miss, it's still a very flawed & messy game but it somehow clicks more the better I understand it.

Hollow Song of Birds is pretty cool. I like picking Reimu with the orange orb (counter shots when grazing) cause it pretty much changes it from a shooting game to entirely dodging and grazing for damage.
Shame about the lag though

I really like it. It's rather easy, for better or worse. You more or less have to play hard to get the same experience as playing normal in mainline games, but on the bright side it lets me turn off my brain and get easy clears when I just want to unwind.

[Anonymous No.]

>>39630127
Yeah, that run I cleared was the first time I ever played stages 5 and 6 and I won pretty much entirely because the massive deathbomb window lets you bomb on reaction consistently.

Do you all play 2hu actively? If not, how long had it been since you stoped?
My first 3 months were the most productive. Than I started collecting 1ccs, and after only SA and LoLK were left I clashed with extras. But grind got a bit tiresome and I just stoped playing at all, it had been a year since I made my last 1cc. I still visit some memorable stages (MoF stage 5 for example) and ponder some extra bosses which I almost can kill, but I dont have concentration for long plays anymore.

[Anonymous No.]

>>39630644
I play regularly enough, though usually no more than 2-3 hours a day. Since I got into the series a year ago I don't think I've gone for more than a week without playing anything. There's years worth of content depending on your autism and the games being short allows for them to be easily fit into any schedule, though I always tend to play them after work. I'll probably keep playing until I run out of things I want to do, and even then there's a bunch of danmaku fangames I'd like to try on the side.

[Anonymous No.]

should aim at doing all games on normal first, or is it better to tryhard all the difficulties in 1 game first before you forget the patterns/bomb spots/etc?

[Anonymous No.]

I hit my skill cap and haven't played with the intent of getting new clears since failing to get a grasp on Koishi's stage, aside from new game releases. Sometimes I'll try to get another scene in 9.5 as well. But mostly when I play it's just a nice Normal run of whichever one sounds like fun at the time.

Don't reset. Even if you die to Kisume's opener with bombs in stock, keep going until you game over or clear. You'll be surprised how far you can make it even on "bad" runs.

I like Marisa so much, but I just cant play her at all. Why have a fast moving character in a game where for the most part you do not move at all? It just makes me far more likely to die while micrododging. I also dont get why ZUN`s most favorite 2hu is Remu, she is so bland...

[Anonymous No.]

>>39643567
Bland as in a character or what? She is one of the most relatable protagonists out there, being an outright asshole but just not enough to consider evil. Have enough power to actually be the most reliable place of worship but instead choose to do the bare minimum a shrine maiden should do and live a relaxing life. Instead of having power of destruction or blowing up stuff her power is about exterminating youkais efficiently while also flexible enougb that she still can go toe to toe with powered humans or gods. Why the hell am I ranting about this in the game play thread, who knows.

[Anonymous No.]

ZUN's favorites are marisa, yukari and aya, but he tends to nerf the former and bully the latter two because he's afraid of letting his bias through and ends up overcompensating.

Here's my full strategy
>player character
Mima. Her range is shit and her bomb is laughably bad, but the simple fact that she's the only character who can get the 400 point item threshold means she has one more life than the rest. That alone makes her the ideal playable character.

>Sara
Move the fuck out of the way when she shoots the blue bullets. They move so fast they end my run instantly.
Timeout her last attack for reduced rank (not sure if it matters but I do it anyways).
>Louise
Requires 1-2 bombs. Her lasers will surely get me otherwise. With all the other characters, one bomb is enough, but Mima's bomb is so shit that I might require another one.
>Lolice
Requires 0-3 bombs. Random as fuck fight. Pray to Jesus.
>Yuki and Mai
Requires 2-4 bombs. Run right up to them when they shoot the curvy lasers. Otherwise they are certain to kill me.
>Mai
Requires 0-1 bombs. Her spinning lasers are the only hard part of the fight. Don't forget to stop firing when she throws eggs at me.
>Yumeko
Requires 4-6 bombs. Her swordspam is some of the most insane danmaku in the entire series. I need to bomb the fuck out of them or I won't even make it to Shinki. The rest of her patterns are consistent. I really should try timing out her final for reduced rank, but I keep forgetting.
>Shinki
Requires all remaining resources. Pray to Jesus, Buddha and Allah. Only made it passed Devil's Recitation a single time, and proceeded to shit the bed on her final. Her fat mommy ass is a safespot after her second pattern, then at her fourth pattern camp out there until the beginning of her fifth pattern. Devil's Recitation is bombspam time. Though preferably after the big lasers start appearing. Pray to every known deity that I can survive.

the game's short and it's very generous on bombs, but i always choke and beat it with 1 continue because i'm too greedy on bombs. if there was a list of bomb spots that would greatly help me

i'm seriously considering dumping all the bombs right at the start of a boss so i won't waste them

[Anonymous No.]

>>39682274
Look far ahead of your character and bomb cautiously. The hitbox in SoEW is kind of janky, so you can't rely on it anyways.
Also, always bomb when Marisa makes those four balls appear. She's invincible while she has them IIRC.

[Anonymous No.]

lmao, i usually do the opposite: dodge her while she has the balls up and then spam 2-3 bombs in a row to do damage

Mai has slower but more complex patterns, like the windows games.
Yuki has faster but simpler patterns.

Couldn't agree with this more. LLS, DDC MarisaB, and LoLK Reisen are constantly regurgitated as being the easiest Lunatic 1CCs in the series, but when I tried the, they felt like the polar opposite of easy. I get it, it's Lunatic, it's supposed to be hard, but there are definitely easier games on Lunatic

[Anonymous No.]

>>39693310
>>everyone
it's just 1 single autist (aka myself)

here's a simple guide on how to farm 1cc (on normal) in th3 (works with any character):
>completely ignore the power bar and simply spam the fire button
>dodge shit until the enemy ai chokes
that's really it

more in depth strat:
>your ai opponent won't get hit until a specific amount of time has passed, so instead of wasting it, keep the power bar always filled for the immortality thingy
>use bomb+1st special to skip the enemy bosses (2 times) and use the immortality on the third one. this way you can easily beat the first 7-8 stages, most of the times without using bombs at all
>be sure to have at least 1 extra life when once you reached yumemi (also chiyuri if you are bad), otherwise you might as well reset right away. prepare to die at the end of the first life, but be sure to have dragged the fight as long as you can (you should be able to kill at least 3 bosses by the strat above + 1/2 more by dodging, depends on the skill and +1 if you manage to refill the bottom bar again). also remember that you get a bonus life at 1m points or something, so sometimes you might get it after losing your last life. that means that as long as you die 2 time before yumemi you should still be able to pull it off
>on the second life do the same as before, but this time the enemy will start chocking a lot sooner (since the numbers in the bottom have gone up i guess, and those don't reset when losing a life)
overall, you should get around 50% rate of 1cc (depending on who chokes faster, you on yumemi)


also it should be obvious but i'll say it anyway: you don't need to kill all the enemies that appear on screen, you only need to kill the closest one in order to trigger a chain reaction that sends shit to the other screen

[Anonymous No.]

>>39689908
>default difficulty is easy
That's only on the hard disk files that come with the all-in-one pack, because they had a custom config file. If you delete the configs (or play on the Touhou98 Experience pack) you'll notice the default difficulty is actually normal.

All of her patterns has pretty wide gaps, and once you done getting used to the scythe timing it becomes pretty manageable

Her hardest e attack is that wave of white peas with gaps followed right away with gapless one, on that one you just constantly be aware of your position and stay close to her or at least prepare to bomb

Does deathbombing cost two bombs in IN or am I just nuts?
Also, Keine's last word on Normal is really easy. I got it on the first try.
I'm pretty surprised at how well I did, since I took a pretty long break. I only lost one life on the first half of Marisa's fight and made it to her last spell card.

Deathbombing is more or less replaced with Last Spells on IN, which cost 2 bombs and fire off a stronger version of your bombs depending on if you're focusing or not. You can still do the regular deathbomb, but the timing is a lot more tight.

Holy fuck.
I was trying to do this with Sanae over the past few days because I wanted to try out bomb graze farming instead.
Turns out what happens is; I keep retry spamming if I miss a lifecount on a section.
But since Reisen has more flexibility when it comes to that I decided to switch over.
Then just a few tries later bam, this happened.
Reisen was my main for Normal and Extra, so not sure why I tried to do Sanae, but whatevs.
Super happy with this, even if Reisen makes the game baby mode.

I felt the same, but after the 3rd attempt to get into them months after the first attempt I grew to appreciate them. I think what greatly helped was forcing myself to 1cc SoEW, you can get pretty acclimatized to all the old jank from it. The thing about PC-98 is that after playing them for a while you realize the bullet density is really generous and the games themselves would be piss easy if they were on windows, but it's all the jank that's making them hard to overcome.

It's safe to stay at the bottom, unless you need to dodge vertically at some point. Happens more often if you move too much to one of the sides so if you stay in front of Nue then you should be fine.
>Also is there a faster way to capture First Duel "Primate Danmaku Transformation"?
I've always only done the standard bottom center > corner route. You can kinda speedkill if, instead of going all the way to the corner, you move through all the bullets and hit her point blank, but it's honestly much riskier and the regular route is extremely consistent with a little practice so I would just use that anyways. The other route is only about one wave faster.

I hope you guys don't like EoSD, because its entire scoring system is focused around a bug with the point value of bullets cancelled by bombs. Unintended safespots that are abused for graze are ubiquitous throughout the series. The scoring systems in every game TD onward are completely busted as well. It's funny to consider ZUN's "intent" with many of these games since it's obvious he didn't know what he was doing a lot of the time.

How is that a problem?

[Anonymous No.]

Does anybody else here play PC98 on T98Next? If so, do you notice the gameplay being out of sync with the music? I looked up replays of LLS Extra on Youtube to see what the part of the song the midboss appears at for example. When I open the game and play it myself, the midboss appears about one or two seconds later into the song than it does in the replays I've watched. I noticed it with SoEW too. Does this mean I have to redo my runs now? I've probably been playing the PC98 games at a slightly slower framerate this entire fucking time and that makes me feel really uncomfortable. The slowrates on the result screen were never that high so I never thought there was a problem until now. I don't wanna go through the hassle of unlocking all those extra stages again...

Developer intent doesn't really matter at all past the basic mechanics. Devs are historically terrible at gauging the meta and limits of the systems they design, even if they're trying to make a well-designed, competitively viable scoring/speedrunning/versus/etc. game. Pic related, the DDP designers used invincibility to see how far the scoring could go and only got 400m, whereas 600m was quickly reached by people playing legitimately.

Smart designers are obviously more likely to make good games that attract a playerbase, but really, as long as there's people who are interested enough a game's scoring to keep pursuing it, it honestly doesn't matter how much or how little thought was put into it.

The most commonly used guidelines for replays (https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/High_scores/Updating_guidelines#Replay_troubleshooting_and_dealing_with_suspected_cheating for example) say that the slowdown shouldn't be above 5%, so you might still be able to consider them valid in good faith.

The thing is, I've played UFO on a really shitty laptop and the game was stuck at 57 or 58 FPS and while it didn't affect the gameplay that much from what I can remember, the music didn't sync with the midbosses like they should and the slowrate on replays would usually be around 0.40 or 0.60 I think, the slowrate for my recent LLS Extra clear was 0.08 so if the framerate was actually slightly slower than it should be I thought the slowrate would be a bit higher. That said, I've been fucking around with SoEW Extra and I think bombing slows down the framerate temporarily as I noticed the music seemed to be less in sync the more I bombed (I could tell by what point the song was at when the first dialogue box appeared) so perhaps I was just an idiot. Still don't know why LLS's Extra seems to be slightly out of sync though

I can't, my ISP blocked nyaa

[Anonymous No.]

>>39756219
Yeah, it looks like the slowrate stat isn't always accurate. An average of 57FPS corresponds to a slowdown of 3/60 = 5%, which is pretty much borderline but acceptable if you don't have a better PC to play on.

If you ever worry about slowdowns, take solace that at least you're not playing HSoB.

I really like the game but holy shit how is a semi-recent game like it so poorly optimized?

MarisaA cleared. Now I'm finally done with SA. I could have cleared it way faster, but I keep choking at Okuu. Also, this shottype is fucking garbage; you get so little bomb back, and the bombs can't clear the screen or deal much damage.

Heavily disagree, the shot itself has good damage for a spread-type shot, and it has many instances where you can play unfocused. The bomb is only a problem for stage 4, and even then, you have 8 of them.

[Anonymous No.]

>>39758143
It's a really good shot type for those that don't need to bomb that much, but for anyone else it's dogshit
There's nearly no way to recover from losing all power since dying gives you 2 power and the shot has 0 spread until at least 4 power

Thankfully IBP runs so much better than this.

going back to the topic of inaccurate slowrates, DDC always displayed the slowrate at 0.00% regardless but now that I'm using a copy from doujinstyle and not moriya, the slowrates display the correct number. The game still runs at 60 FPS and it only drops a little when a lot of bullets get canceled although sometimes it will also drop to to 59 FPS for no reason at random. I shouldn't worry about it should I?

[Anonymous No.]

>>39773348
Yeah, as I said earlier it would need to run constantly below 57fps for the run to be void. A couple dozen one-second dips, even below 30fps, would only result in a slowdown of 0.6% over a half-hour run.

I actually started with SA because I like aaalll the girls in it
Then my friend told me to start EoSD, so I thought why not
is this weird?

Is there a list of what scores you need to get to remove the "I can't write a good article with pictures like these" comment in StB? I believe it's based on your highest photo for that scene.

[Anonymous No.]

>>39791138
It is. SA is one of the hardest 2Hu games. In fact SA+LoLK are the last games I didn't 1cc, so jump from EoSD to SA is either experience, talent, on unrelenting grind.

Is there a 1CC chart but for scoring?

You know, in years past, people would just post screenshots of Excel sheets or text files where they kept track of their progress.

Scoring comes after filling the whole chart, I doubt more than a couple people here have done that.

No. You will get 18.5 developed by ZUN instead, starring Tsukasa. Mark my words.

I made it as a half joke, but I'd make something real if I could think of a way to portray a useful amount of information without the chart being absolutely enormous (e.g. scoring tiers for each shot and difficulty) or requiring an unreasonable amount of research (e.g. investigating and choosing roughly equivalent "milestones" for every category) that would end up being fragile as the meta shifts due to new tricks and techniques being discovered over time. The easiest would probably be to just use the existing 1CC chart but fill the boxes with different colors according to what percentage of the current world record you've obtained (50%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 99%, WR) or just straight up putting the percentages in the boxes. Some categories would be much easier to get 90%+ than others just due to the nature of the game, like certain Extras or pretty much all of MoF, but the occasional low hanging fruit should be fine.

[Anonymous No.]

>>39811814
scoring is not something I am too familiar with mainly because I don't think I'm skilled enough to do it (yet) but what are the "easier" Extras for scoring? I want to do SA and MoF at least because those are two of my favorite. Call me a contrarian if you will but I hate it when people criticize scoring for no reason other than "it's full of trannies". I'm convinced those people are Normalshitters who are jealous. I doubt I'll break any records but I want to do it because that along with LNB is probably the bare minimum for being considered a superplayer

When has anyone ever done that? Go to /v/ if all you want is to start some bullshit flamewar.

[Anonymous No.]

>>39811892
Incidentally, MoF and SA Ex are some of the easiest categories to score well in, since basic no miss/full spell play is enough to get 80%, and picking up a handful of tricks can get you to 90%. Going for 1B in SA Ex was actually how I first got my feet wet, so it's probably a good place to start if you already enjoy it. If you want to graduate to more demanding scoring, most of the others offer a stronger active dichotomy between survival and scoring play, with PCB in particular offering a wide spectrum of increasingly difficult and interesting risk/reward techniques to learn without hard locking you into any specific route.

>>39812006
There have been many variants of "scoring is for autists" over the years, including a little bit here on /jp/. I don't know if it's less common now because of more acceptance or just the fact that basically all actual scoring players stopped posting here almost a decade ago.

>I'm convinced those people are Normalshitters who are jealous.
Jealous of being so autistically obsessed with a game that you keep playing long after it exhausted any of its entertainment value? Not only that but trying to actively purge any leftovers of fun it once had. And most often involving completely artificial, retarded and backwards ways of playing. No thanks.
>"it's full of trannies"
Scoring it shmup equivalent of speedrunning so yeah.

I'm not a scoring autist, but people have different definitions of entertainment. This is like judging someone going for lunatic clears and challenge runs after beating normal instead of beating normal with all shots.

Instead of taking his bait and starting a flamewar over some imaginary, manufactured divide, you should ignore him.
