Touhou 12.8 general thread
I just beat C-2 and got this, and then my game corrupted my replay.
Feel really bad man. That last spellcard, that last fucking spellcard.

[Anonymous No.]

I just got beaten in the B-2 last spell card.

I'm starting to hate it. I play touhou with a gamepad normally since my keyboard sucks and fucks up whenever I hit more than two keys at a time. Since there is now separate keys for charge-fire and rapid-fire, I have no comfortable way to put bomb underneath my thumb and keep both fires under it also. I could just use charge-fire and bomb only, but hammering fire repeatedly starts causing physical pain after a couple of minutes.

So I've been playing without bombing. I've had a lot of deaths where I could of just bombed and kept going.

bind bomb to a shoulder button. it's what I did, helped me out a little bit

[Sakura !!mcI4Nfcr3u5 No.]

Same here, I mapped rapid fire to Right Bumper on my 360 controller. It's a little weird but it's alright.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5947813
I just rapid press the "charge" button to shoot. I think it gives me more control over the freezing, and my bomb button is right next to it for jerk bombs.
The rapid fire thing I don't really use it except to skip text.

Anyone happen to know where it saves the fullscreen/windowed preference choice made when first running the game?

I hate guessing wrong for which one means "run in a window and don't resize my entire desktop, please."

On the 3 fairy fight, does the center one determine how long the spellcard goes on for? I've noticed that I can kill the two on the sides and it won't end the card, but sometimes it ends randomly.

There's actually an odd glitch with bombing lasers. That or it's just a weird mechanic.

If you deathbomb a laser, you get an invulnerability window. However, if you bomb right before the deathbomb window then get hit by a laser, you die.

What's the determining factor between the route splits? Like A-1 or A2?

[Anonymous No.]

>>5948292

To be fair, going by bullet quantity and speed, each difficulty level in Fairy Wars is the same as one to two difficulty levels higher in the normal games.

Of course, that is remedied by the length and freezing mechanic, but it still gets much more hectic than a Normal mode player would be used to.

you get like 10 lives if you make it all the way to the end. If you use up the ones you have before then, you won't see all of them.

I wish it gave you some fucking bombs when you die. Nothing like being on the last spellcard, 1 life left, die, reappear in a sea of fireballs, and theres nothing you can do about it.

Okay, having played A-2 on normal, I can safely agree with you.

>>5948603
At least on my laptop, when you run FRAPS, and start recording, the fps drops from 60 to 30, and slows the game down accordingly. It's the only reliable way I have found to slow touhou games down. Cheat engine slow doesn't work for most of them (hell if I know why)

[Anonymous No.]

It says I'm missing d3dx9_42.dll from my computer.

it still blows my mind that ZUN made a cirno game. with SaBND characters, no less.

what next? lunarian vs american space forces FPS?

[Anonymous No.]

So early on, is it better to aim for silvers on spellcards to build up level? Or should I try to gold ones I know I can reliably capture throughout and silver the ones I might have trouble with? I'm going to try and gold every spellcard at some point obviously but I'm just thinking of optimum playthrough.

Also, Extra. God damn. I still haven't cleared SA but damned if this isn't the most overwhelmed I've felt, probably lack of bomb stock to help me limp through difficult parts before I learn them.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5948810
>I'm going to try and gold every spellcard
Are we even talking about the same game?
Jesus. I can't even imagine gold staring some of these cards.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5948810
really? extra was easy as pie. Made it in roughly 2h, will 0% hp left(man last spell got me by surprise), considering UFO extra took me 2 days(well now i can do it without any miss or bomb), i find it quite easy but enjoyable.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5948851

This game clicks with some people.
But it doesn't for most of us ;_;

btw how do I gold star spell cards? All I get are silver (clear) and red (fail)

[Anonymous No.]

>>5948885
To get gold, you have to beat it without bombing, dying, or freezing bullets.
Which is why I am so astounded that people are getting gold stars on some of these cards.

[Anonymous No.]

I am really, really bad with the ice. I seem to do better if I just shoot and bomb normally and pretend I'm playing Lunatic modo, 'cause that fuckin second of delay on the ice always fucks me up. You never have it charged when you need it.

>>5948851 see >>5948836

For most of us Touhou is really, really, really hard. I've been trying to beat Ran for more than a year now. I've come damn close but I still haven't done it. The people talking about cheating in this thread are hilarious though, the same kind you see on youtube. Are they trying to advance the plot? I don't think they understand the point of vidya gaems. Hard work and guts.

I'll probably give her a fresh take after some sleep/work tomorrow. I have up until Dai and Lily down pat, it's just the after part :\ .

Well fuck me. Since the game released I never noticed that your ice power (or whatever you call it) goes up when you shoot an enemy or graze. Once I realized that the game suddenly became less rage inducing and a LOT more enjoyable.

NORMAL MODE 1CC GET!

I like this game because it has no sense of proportion. The fairies are all giants, and even on normal mode they have lunatic worthy spells. Hell, Star Sapphire unleashes QED of 495 Years with every fucking attack. If this game were in any way an accurate representation of power levels, Cirno would be the strongest thing in existence by far.

Which I suppose makes perfect sense, since it is from her point of view...

[Anonymous No.]

>>5953980

I think it's more supposed to imply how weak Cirno is. Instead of being a god-like main character you are a very weak little fairy and so the game is adjusted accordingly, especially going up against fairies that are supposed to be a lot stronger than you.

[Anonymous No.]

But Cirno's not weak, especially among fairies. She's just not very strong when it comes to facing off shrine maiden, meidos, etc.

Touhou wiki entry for the 3 fairies.

>ZUN stated that the reason why he chose them as main characters is because the three of them have little fighting ability, yet are much more outgoing than Rinnosuke, making them ideal characters for introducing various aspects of Gensokyo's daily life that Rinnosuke does not participate in.

Zun seems to disagree with you. They suck at fighting, just like all fairies. Cirno just sucks a lot less.
