Capable of clearing all of them, but PCB is the only game I've really invested time into and thus the only one I can pass with flying colors (as if it wasn't the easiest game to begin with). I'd rather hang around Normal.

Play with me. Pick a challenge.

I managed to do perfect stages 1-3 on lunatic, first death on the green books on stage 4 and then perfected the stage otherwise, perfect stage 5 except for killing doll on Sakuya and perfect stage 6 except scarlet gensokyo. 24/26 spellcards captured, 3 deaths 0 bombs. Used Marisa A. (talking about EoSD of course)

This thread made me go look up PCB's scoring system on the wiki, since I've never really gotten into the game in detail. Way more sources of points than I knew about.

Nothing about it particularly bothers me, unlike the IN/MoF/SA systems, so I think I'll stick with it a while.

Is that really true? I've been focusing on getting a 1cc, and it seems kind of humiliating to have a great score just to not even beat the game. Then again, I'm assuming you're talking score competitions, so perhaps I might be wrong. As another question, should one beat Extra or Hard mode first? I can't get anywhere with the Extra, but everyone keeps telling me it's easier than Hard.

I guess I phrased that poorly. A 1cc is definitely something to aim for, and you should work toward 1ccing a game before even worrying about score. Eventually, when you get better, the 1cc isn't important, and you'll be trading resources for score instead of survival. The UFO Lunatic SanaeB world records are a good example of this, where the current scoring routes involve reaching Byakuren with 0 lives and 0 bombs left.

It is the hardest, but it's also the most fun. I don't mind find being told the basic stuff that I need to know, but I don't want to be told how to beat some part of a game. I can understand it being different with scoring competitions since you can observe them and try to find ways to improve on that and beat their score, but the 1cc is something I'd like to do on my own. I don't just want to watch how to beat the game and copy it, it kills the point of playing for me at least.

Well okay, just because a second rate player like me couldn't do it doesn't mean it's not possible. Missed plenty of scoring tricks, some of them I have very little practice for and decided to ignore instead. Missed the critical red mass in stage four when I was counting on the border break in the beginning to get me close to the target. Instead it was immediately activated, and what I should have done was start shooting before I broke it.

I don't know what happened with Benevolent Orleans Dolls. Wandering eyes or something, but I've always been on top of it even if I haven't seen it in a while.

protips:
- Don't credit feed. If you lose all of your lives, restart from the beginning. Don't continue.
- Practice makes perfect. Nobody gets good at these games instantly.
- While not the most difficult of the genre, these games are very hard compared to most games today. Think of them in an old style like Contra or Metal Slug. That's the order of difficulty we're talking here.
- If you play on keyboard (which I recommend), make sure you have a good one. Many keyboards today have problems with multiple button presses and these games are unplayable on those. Don't even try if you have a keyboard with rollover issues. You will only frustrate yourself.

Credit feeding helps practice the later stages and spells that you wouldn't often get the chance to see, but only do it on your first few times playing the game and in later attempts when you get close to winning.
If you massively fuck up on the first few stages, it might be better to restart.

Of course, people can and will argue for and against credit feeding all day.

Most people suggest not doing that as a way to improve. However, I wouldn't outright dismiss it, just don't credit feed and say you beat the game when you used continues. In MoF, SA and UFO continues are unlimited yet you have to start from the very beginning of the stage, I think that's a very good way to help you learn stuff. If you continually get stuck on a certain stage in those games, you can keep continuing until you get the hang of it.

>>7186590
I always restart, never continue. Sometimes, I restart after just dying once because I fuck up on the simplest part. It's been about 5 years since I first played Touhou, and have been playing quite a lot since then. For the past year though, I've been focusing mostly on IN, trying to beat it on hard. I can get to Reimu without dying and with only a few bombs used easily (most of the time). But she just shits on me quickly. I just can't get those fucking patterns right because it seems random shit most of the time. I do watch replays of better players than (that's how I get as far as I can) and I pretty much do practice mode until I master a stage before trying to move on to the next one, but I've reached a dead end at this point. Still trying though, since I have nothing better to do with my life.

Anonymous Mon Apr 4 20:57:57 2011 No.7186684

It's worth continuing to unlock every stage in practice mode, but there's no reason to play stages 1-3 over and over again if you're already good at them. Once you're good enough to make it to stage 4 or beyond, it's most efficient to just practice the things that are giving you trouble in practice mode.

Can normal clear all Windows touhous besides the fighters. Also cleared a PC98 game, don't remember which. Lunatic 1cced EoSD sometime last year, but then lost all sort of motivation to play touhou.

Cleared the extras of all windows touhous besides the fighters(do they even have extra modes?), Fairy Wars since I haven't unlocked it, PoFV, and PCB.

The only game I'm actually notably good at is StB, but I never really got into DS scoring after clearing all the scenes like I did with StB.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 4 21:40:57 2011 No.7186893 >>7186867 You aren't missing much from not doing the fairy wars extra, if you aren't going for score then most of the difficulty is just figuring out when and where to freeze.

I wonder how much childhood gaming affects on how well you initially do at Touhou. I grew up with shoot'em'ups like Raptor (very enjoyable albeit way too easy) and I made it to Tewi (and got raped by her) on IN Normal on my lifetime first attempt, and it took a few dozen attempts to 1cc Lunatic. Some friends of mine can't beat the 1st stage and go totally "O_O what the fuck's going on" when looking at a Hard+ mode of any Touhou game. I find it peculiar - there's a bullet, your brain should tell you to DODGE IT RIGHT NOW

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 4 22:06:57 2011 No.7186991 >>7186893 It isn't like most other ex spellcards/noncards are that hard. Marisa is at least more exciting than usual. One of my favorite fights in the series for sure.

Some people just can't do shmups. Its all about how your brain percieves things. Some only focus on the bullets that are an immediate danger even though the entire screen is covered by them. Others can't stop trying to account for every bullet on screen relevant or not.

My first experiences with it killed me. First stage, couldn't even beat Nazrin in UFO. Didn't even know how to use bombs. Then I found out hold shift for focused movement. Then X to bomb. Then I could make it to Kogasa. Then I went to play PCB and used all my continues to beat the Prismrivers, but ended up dying right after I beat them. My experience was mostly with platformers and JRPGs before then with some other games mixed in.

- at the first part, collect power items until your power is at least 120, then kill that first big fairy and grab an 8-power item just as the other two fairies shoot at you

- FUCKING ROYAL FLARE just bomb that shit

- try to redirect the last burst of the books

- just stream the very last fairies, the one which give you a 1-up (unless you're a cheap bastard and play ReimuA)

Decided to go for that grazing run. http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=13055

It was okay overall. Lots of minor things like standing on the wrong side of Letty during her first spell, or dying a pointless death to Hanged Hourai Dolls. Pretty happy with the post-Lily White waves aside from the final red cluster. Shamelessly copied the Live Poltergeist bit. Didn't get to fully milk solo Lyrica because of a continous damage bug which finished off the noncard and brought down the spell from start to finish.

Stage five was fucked up a bit more than anything else. I've never studied how Youmu moves so perhaps you need to be in a certain spot to give the most favorable position when redirecting another wave after the first set. Should have bombed more for insurance. Similar mistakes with her endstage opener but nothing to do with redirection. Bombing when I was at 49K cherry and should have used the border to clear the wave instead. Positioning issues with the following noncard, all detracting from potential suicides for 80% Reflowering (which is the only thing I can think of). I did want the 1200 extend but sacrificed a bit too much when it came to letting enemies live.
