Danmaku thread

[Anonymous No.]

Well, this is my first time making one of these so it'll probably be a bit hit and miss. Anyone who can do better please feel free to take over. I'm quite bad to be honest, so please be gentle.

First up is Mystic Square (PC 98 is okay, right?), full run, score based. All difficulties and characters open.

Rules for Mystic Square:
1. Default settings (No more than the set lives, no slow mode etc.)
2. No second chances once you've completed/Game Over, but you may restart as much as you like

Time limit will be determined by the number of entries.

No it is not. Give us a real Touhou game!

Do I have to finish it to post my score? I'm gonna do a normal run but I'm not entirely confident I can beat Shinki at the end of it, I've only done it once.

Ah, I did wonder. I wasn't expecting there to be a problem, but if there is one please make sure to correct me.

>>4162261
No, I'm probably going to do the same myself. Don't sweat it.

>>4162280
Why not give it a try? All five take up about a tenth of the space of any one of the Windows games, emulator included.

[Anonymous No.]

The PC-98 games are hardly what the current games are.. They're more akin to say.. Strikers 1945 or Gradius..

Substantially less amount of bullets and a large hitbox.

I did like Highly Responsive to Prayers though.

[Anonymous No.]

I'm awful at MS, and that's probably the most progress I've made so far. Also, I don't think the game is meant to slow down at the end is it?

[Anonymous No.]

>>4162261
here, I completely fucked up my run trying to graze too often and bomb too little and as a result I died on stage 5.

Played as Reimu, score was 21494350. Stats in picture.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4162483
...and this is where I died. I'm embarrassed.

The stage 4 boss is where I lost all my remaining lives, although I ended up fighting the blue girl solo instead of the Marisa lookalike.

[Anonymous No.]

Well, it seems we're all on poor form today. I'm pretty bad but this is positively embarrassing. I got my first continue on fucking Alice, for Christ's sake, and then Mai took two. God fucking dammit.

Well anyway, I'll leave it until 13:00 and then declare the winners and start the next game.

[Witch of Miracles !!C1hDziqFB7j No.]

Goddamn Yuki and Mai fucked me up good

Oh well died on stage 5 like just about everyone ;_;

[Anonymous No.]

Well, I'm glad I wasn't the only person to not finish the game.

Which game is up next?

[Anonymous No.]

All the PC-98 oldbies must be asleep.

[Anonymous No.]

Well, time's up. Winners are:
Normal mode: >>4162439

On to the next round: Imperishable Night stage 3. All difficulties open, all characters and teams apart from Ghost team and Youmu single.
Time based round, followed by points.

Imperishable Night rules:
1. No replays, obviously
2. No retries, one run only

Short run, so until 13:30. Everyone alright with that?

[Anonymous No.]

Never fucked up so hard on Shinki.

[Anonymous No.]

>apart from Ghost team and Youmu single.
Well fuck you too.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4162626
Okay, starting my run. I will probably suck though.

[Anonymous No.]

Well, that's me done. Time to get back into practice, by the looks of it.

>>4162656
Er, I thought that was the agreed set up, based on previous threads. Sorry.

The one you usually ban is the Border team, I think. Reimu/Yukari.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4162723
If you ban the best team people will just use the 2nd best. Banning is useless and stupid.
Besides the teams are pretty well balanced anyway.

[Anonymous No.]

[Anonymous No.]

>>4162723
Shot types like the Netherworld Team have a distinct time point advantage over the Border Team, more so on the lower difficulties because of fewer beneficial grazing opportunities.

[Anonymous No.]

>On to the next round: Imperishable Night stage 3. All difficulties open, all characters and teams apart from Ghost team and Youmu single.

I never seem to have time to join in on these, but when a certain stage is given, it means practice mode I assume?

[Anonymous No.]

Aw damn, a danmaku thread, but after 3 hours of unlocking that fucking stage 6 lunatic practice in ufo by continue spamming, my will to play is drained.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4162739
I'm gonna agree with this guy, especially as regards IN. The record for a Lunatic score run was actually done with SDM team. Youmu is just easier to score with, in the same way Reimu/Yukari is easier to 1cc with. You can ban Marisa Bugged, but other than that, just forget about bans.

[Anonymous No.]

Well shit, daily downtime already? I'll post the results and start the next game anyway, I guess.

The winners for this game are:

Normal: >>4162692
Hard: >>4162746

Next game, we'll step up the pace a bit: EoSD Extra stage. Anything goes, lives based, followed by points.

EoSD rules:
1. No replays
2. That's it. Good luck, I'll certainly be needing it.

I'd give it a time limit, but who knows when we'll be back up. 'Til then, chaps.

Sorry for being so late, downtime didn't help much.

Really? I don't remember them being banned, but maybe you're right.

>>4162739
Yeah, you're right, I'm sorry. No more bannings. Save for Marisa B(ugged) of course...

IN is for preschoolers.

[Anonymous No.]

Ok, I gave it a try. For being my second time reaching Flandre it actually went worse than my first time.

Laser show gave me too much of a problem and actually cost me 3 lives since bombs couldn't bomb through it and I ended up at bad spots constantly.

[Witch of Miracles !!C1hDziqFB7j No.]

Okay, I'll stop now. But really, it's sort of a homogenised 4chan meme by now.

[Anonymous No.]

God damn maze of love. That spellcard pretty much determines whether I beat this stage or not.

[Anonymous No.]

I lost two lives on Four of a Kind, and then last one on Starbow Break. Totally pointless.

[Anonymous No.]

I made it up to Maze of Love, it's better than my average attempt.

[Anonymous No.]

GAHAHAHA! Cranberry Trap. You have got to be shitting me. Oh well, I'd give another try but I've managed to work up an adorable splitting headache. I'll think of one more game and then call it quits for today. If anyone wants to take over, feel free.

[Anonymous No.]

Didn't even reach Flandre.

[Anonymous No.]

I've beaten this several times before, but I'm a couple months out of practice. I couldn't even beat Patchy without getting hit, and my deathbomb reflexes are fucked, too.

[Anonymous No.]

Died to the first red wave of her survival spell.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4163069
So are you Heartbeam or Magister?

[Maluetar No.]

Didn't even reached catadioptric but since I see scores here I guess I don't really need to worry about it. I beat this Ex alot of times but I wasn't playing for some time lately

[Let's Suck at Danmaku. No.]

I hate EoSD, so I'll wait until the next round.

[Anonymous No.]

So wait...before I get started: is this one of those challenges where you can only try once, or do I get unlimited tries?

>>4163161
EoSD can be random in a bad way, but Extra with Reimu B is pretty fun for attempts to see how quickly you can burn through the bosses.

[Maluetar No.]

>Reimu B is pretty fun for attempts to see how quickly you can burn through the bosses
You must mean Marisa A

[Anonymous No.]

Not a bad run.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4163198
Nope. Try shotgunning Cirno's first spell on Easy and see which character ends it first.

[Anonymous No.]

I guess I did alright.

[Maluetar No.]

>>4163216
Try shotgunning every other boss spellcards and see who ends it first. Marisa A got more fire power but Reimu A got more range and sometimes she can end some spells quicker.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4163274
Sorry, I don't quite follow. Are you arguing for or against Marisa A / Reimu B, or you're asking for a list of times to compare? Also, did a quick run for stage two and Marisa A was roughly two seconds slower.

[Maluetar No.]

>>4163293
For example go try capture Q.E.D with Marisa A and later with Reimu B and see who ends it first. Or I think the best compare can be done during Royal Flare spell.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4163288
Duh, range means spread. I'm apparently in "retard" mode. Good night, have fun playing.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4163313
I'll try for a run with Marisa A later. So she comes out on top for Royal Flare, I'll give you that. However, that's one of the few Extra spells that don't give you room to move up close. Pretty much every spell except for Philosopher's Stone (debatable), Q.E.D., Starbow Break, and a few noncards provide wide open opportunities to shotgun the boss.

Well ladies and gentleneets, we've come to the (or rather, my) last game of the day. My personal favourite, Perfect Cherry Blossom Stage 6. All difficulties open, all characters and weapons. I myself will be playing easymodo, like the elementary school kid I am.

Graze based round, followed by points.

Perfect Cherry Blossom rules:
1. No replays
2. No more than 3 goes, including retries

You have until 16:15. Have fun.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4163407
Er, let's make that 16:30. Why not.

Tried a variety of suicides and bombs to graze the butterfly bullets with invulnerability during Sumizome Perfect Blossom and the opener. Didn't work out so well.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4163488

Well I'm out of tries now and I didn't even get to make a screen capture of my score because I died. Not that it matters because it was shit anyway. I don't think I like this graze based challenge at all, I just keep dying ;_;

I'm going to do an old-fashioned score run instead. Anyone who's with me can join. Let's do 3 tries again, same stage.

If you did happen to do the run during this thread and somehow forgot to take a screencap the first time around, then you won't mind showing the replay file with the date on it?

[Anonymous No.]

>>4163591
Yeah, it was a pretty stupid idea going with graze, but we hadn't had one so I thought we might as well. My bad. Especially as I can't graze for shit. I think the best I managed was a little over 700, and I can't screencap it because I died for all my tries. Whoops.

[Let's Suck at Danmaku. No.]

>>4163653
I'm sure you're already aware of Yuyuko's third and fourth spell as grazing hotspots. Throw in the circling method for Deadly Dance and the rest is just aggressive grazing. And some bombing, but I don't know how large of a difference it made. Tried a few for Youmu's opener because of how packed the bullets are near the end of the wave.

A run to give a general idea of what's to be done. If you can consistenly align yourself next to Yuyuko for her first spell then the laser grazing probably comes out on top.

On second thought, probably not going to do Marisa A runs today but your points are correct. Still, there's a reason why you see Reimu B as the character of choice for EoSD Extra speedruns. You actually have to rethink the way spells work to get ahead of Marisa A who merely has to stay aligned with the boss.

Next one isn't a speedrun, but he does end a few attacks even sooner. Notably, Catadioptric and Counter Clock.
