If you're who I think you are, nice to meet you. Would be great to see more runs from you. And I guess I'll give it a shot if you're not already engaged in a match. If not then another time.

To whomever it is that played with me, thanks. I forgot to specify my location, which is western US, so the latency was pretty high. Oh well.

GGs. Thanks for taking the time to start a thread.

Someone who made some nice UFO Extra scores several months back. If it really is you then I'm surprised you never dropped the no-miss condition to chase after a higher score.

[T No.]

GGs, SecondaryFag. You're very good. I really need to get used to playing with latency, dodging becomes a whole new game with delay.

Also, I learned that you don't have any time to look up and watch the points for timing when you're playing against Sakuya. I got knived in the side almost every time I did.

>>5349051
Haha, yeah, that was me. I would go dying for score, but I wanted to try to get plenty above 500 million without dying or bomb. I've done it now, and I've done it the "dying and supergraze" way, but I guess I'm not a real scoring player. I actually upload more replays under a different name, but they're perfect runs on like Normal and stuff so that's not too exciting. Can I assume that you're the same SecondaryFag of whom I've downloaded some replays?

Looking at the list...probably. I can't blame you for not going all the way. Most of the games turn into a chore until there's only a few left bearable enough to sit through. Doesn't hurt to kick back every now and then and shoot down stuff instead of extending the run to be 50% longer.

Well, you know which sites to go to if you want to spark some competition, scoring or otherwise. Your company would be appreciated.

>you know which sites to go to
...Do I? If you're talking about the replay archive, I have only gone there to look around and share a few replays with some friends. If there is more to it, I don't know much of it.

I'm pretty take it easy when it comes to scoring. There are a few things that I try a bit for (like PCB Phantasm, UFO Extra, and SA to some extent). Competition does sound interesting, however. To which sites are you referring?

There aren't any active competition threads at the moment, but there's nothing to stop a brave soul from starting one. Currently toying around with an idea for one of the games, but it's pretty far back on the to-do list. I guess that's all for now.

I'll definitely check those out. I don't have accounts at either since I'm not much of a forum guy, but maybe I'll reconsider it. I'd feel bad joining a shmup forum since I really only play Touhou for fun. I have been meaning to expand my shmup experience though~

>By the way, I envy your SA pacifist run.
I totally forgot that I did that. Figuring out how to do that stage was pretty silly. I still haven't played it since I uploaded that, I really need to do a no death run of that.

GGs. Sorry for being somewhat cruel at points, but I like PoFV because, even if the players are significantly different in skill level, the mostly indirect player influence and handicap can make it fun for everyone.

A question.

Is it so that you for some reason actually is incapable of searching the internet and finding the information youneed by yourself?
Or do you like asking others?

The way I see it is as if you are at a Trek-con, and is given a simple information booklet (google) which can answer all simple questions you can think off.
Yet you just shove the booklet given to you into your pocket and then venture straight to the star-trek fans while they are having their discussion and asks them the simple questions found in the booklet (google or whatever actually).

You should upload that Aya vs Aya replay somewhere, it didn't let me save it.

Unfortunately, saving replays doesn't work in netplay. I just used it as an exit game button.

[T No.]

>>5354107
Oh really? I've definitely saved replays in the past when I was hosting, and it let the other person save the replay as well. Hmm~

[Anonymous No.]

there's problems with saving replays in general; I used to be able to save them just fine then one day it started crashing the game and I've never been able to save another. (canceling and then trying again to save, like people have suggested for the crash problem, has never worked for me)

[Anonymous No.]

>>5354211
>>5354161
There is a configuration setting for adonis that lets you automatically save a replay after every match. It's quite handy, so open up the config and turn it on.

I can host or join if anyone is around to play.

[T No.]

>>5354478
I just noticed that I actually have that enabled, and now I have a folder with 60 replays with /jp/. Fun.

I'll play a bit, but I've spent too much time playing this, so hopefully not too long. I have porn to draw...

I probably shouldn't have kept playing, but I was having too much fun. I'm not sure what host etiquette is supposed to be like, I'm personally a pushover and don't like making decisions. I wouldn't have minded rematches, but I probably would have gotten fed up in the end faster since those Shiki fights are absolutely brutal~ You and your Bpoint timing always kept me caving.

As far as it freezing, that might have been me if it stopped at the waiting for ping. I wasn't expecting a match and had to close a bunch of programs first before accepting.

I recall it working once. I think I was one of the players though. I think you had to do something like join as a watcher after the two players join but before they actually start. Or maybe just before the second person starts.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5362758
I tried the feature during the first match in this thread. It apparently wasn't on the current round because it was speeding through at 240 fps. Closed the game before it reached what I would expect to be the current match.

I think we both tapped down at the same time and it selected "quit and save replay" instead of "change character."

Good games. You should try to avoid using level 4 spell attacks, since it drains all of you bar and then you can't protect yourself. Also the boss can be cleared away by the other player, or they can shoot it down for its drop. It's a bad situation.

Am I supposed to shoot those feathers that fall down or am I supposed to catch them with the "hold shift for focused movement" shadow? I tried that for a while but it seemed like after I "caught them" they then became bullets attacking me so I stopped trying.

[‫‬‭‮‪‫‬‭‮‬‬‬‬ No.]

>>5364405

>>5364272
Sorry for not sticking around long. As evidenced by this thread, I've been playing this game way too fucking much lately. I don't really feel like looking at bullets anymore.

>>5364408
When captured by that "shadow" the spirits become activated, and when you destroy them, they have a small radius in which they will destroy any level 1 bullets (the little snowflake ones). If you activate them but don't destroy them after a certain amount of time, they will turn into three red bullets that are aimed at you.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5364408

If you catch them in your thing when you focus, they become 'activated', and then if you shoot them down they'll clear away bullets and other enemies around them. If you don't shoot them down, though, they'll eventually blow up and fire aimed bullets at you.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5364408
Turning the feather-things against you is not something you want to do. If you can get them before they turn into danmaku on your side, all's well, but they're meant to be a downside of focusing.

[T No.]

>>5364429
Also, to that guy, GGs.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5364433

Not really? Activated spirits chain stuff, clear bullets, and they're worth a pretty good amount of Bpoints. Also just about every character's level 1 spell attack is designed to hit stuff in their activation radius, so as long as you're not careless you shouldn't have to worry about it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5364272

Good ones!

[Anonymous No.]

Not to mention that activating spirits makes them not crash into you as much.
