>That feel when you fill up a UFO worth 50m+ points and it just flies away

Other than that I'm finding UFO to be pretty fun to score run with, the game gives you so many natural blue disks that you can keep popping them out, it's pretty different from survival runs. On normal anyways, hard and above I have to keep whoring out the red ones or else I won't make past Shou.

Have you been score running lately?

>That feel when
Please don't do this.

I've tried UFO yesterday again after trying to beat SA extra for 2 months.

God damnit I can't get past Ichirin even on normal.
I always fuck up while collecting ufos and for some reason the fps drops to 50 when Ichirin uses one of her fist spellcards

That feel when I stick my finger up my asshole and when I pull it out, my finger is missing.

[Anonymous No.]

Hahaha fuck that. That's why I always keep 2 bombs ready for that part. One so I get that 3rd blue at the right time no matter what, and one in case the UFO tries to escape.

My best normal score is 570m or something like that. I really like that system.

[Anonymous No.]

I can't even 1CC UFO.

I can get to shou with max lives but I just can't do it because I'm a retard who never bombs.

I've 1CC'd every other touhou game on atleast normal, but not UFO, theres something about the last two stages.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7280945
If you can get to Shou with max lives, then you could clear it any time you wanted to. So it doesn't matter if you actually do or not, it's better to do it well like you're trying to.

[Yukito-san !zc0H41Z7mU No.]

>>7280926

My bad, I thought this was something that started here on /jp/?

>>7280938

At that particular run pictured in the OP I didn't, but I'm cogitating always bombing during midboss Narzin so that there will be more fairies later that drop UFOs. I don't want to lose spell capture bonus though, they actually matter in UFO.

Maybe Marisa A is better for score runs, with that laser of hers you can pretty much kill any UFO at any given time.

[Anonymous No.]

Still trying to 1cc UFO, I'm getting close. I'm actually able to get past Shou with more consistency, although Byakuren still gets me. I'm so close though, I can feel it. Sanae A probably isn't the best shot type for this but I've stuck with her through thick and thin and I can't switch to another shot yet.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7280984
I think it's always worth bombing Nazrin. You lose like 6 mil, in exchange for a much easier time in the next part, and probably another UFO.

Also MarisaA isn't worth it. She will make you mad as hell unless you're so good you never need to bomb to collect. ReimuA is almost as good at UFO shooting, use her instead.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7281065

oops, forgot

[Yutanpo !1DeKKAi00Y No.]

Bomb.

Gave up trying to get a 600M 1cc after a little while, should probably go back to it. currently at 560Mish if I remember correctly. Should probably practice stage 6 more to maximize score though, I don't think I've ever gotten that spot where the flying spirit thing releases point items when you have full power.

[Yutanpo !1DeKKAi00Y No.]

Is it just me, or does UFO have the most point items of all the games? Maybe it's because you don't really get to see the cumulative number of the items in the other ones.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7281068

the ultimate cliff hanger, I'm sure everyone has been waiting warmly.

Looks like I can 1CC UFO afterall.

May as well.

I missed 5 cards and let a lot of point items drop on stage 6.

[Yutanpo !1DeKKAi00Y No.]

>>7281117
suck it up nue, i've only gotten to you maybe 3 times.

[Anonymous No.]

I'm a really greedy score whore, so when it comes to spell cards, I NEVER bomb. Even if I haven't 1CC'd the game or have max bombs, I'd rather shoot for the spell card bonus than lame through it. I'm pretty sure this is a bad way to approach things considering I always reset once my lives are out.

[Yutanpo !1DeKKAi00Y No.]

>>7281189
you must hate TD then

[endif !xAURdZQe0A No.]

>>7281189
Yeah, same here. I haven't been able to been able to beat EoSD on Normal because of that. I always go for the items on top to be able to auto-collect and I always end up killing myself.

Just lost to remilia 2 minutes ago because I ended up wasting lives on previous levels.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7281201
And EoSD. And SA.

[Yukito-san !zc0H41Z7mU No.]

>>7281189

I think most of us went through that phase. I think you need to separate score running from a survival run. When I'm aiming for hard/lunatic or a mode that I usually can't handle very well I start by surviving fist, if I get close to the end of the game and do well then I'll slowly refocus my efforts to scoring. It's all about making a balance, I'd never have been able to 1cc all the games on hard if I went to them thinking strictly about score and trying to capture cards that are beyond my skill, like Shou's first card on hard. Now that I've got a little more used to the difficulty I'm slowly trying to improve my score on them.

But yeah, who doesn't rage quit after taking a hit at stage 2?

[Anonymous No.]

>>7281271
What you're saying is true. My mentality comes from the fact that my roommate "ruins" the games for himself by watching videos and picking up specific strategies from it. Sure he's 1CC'd every Touhou game with at least one character and gone through every Extra Stage, but I wouldn't be satisfied if I had done the same thing.

It's not like a multiplayer game where learning the tricks almost becomes necessary to compete. Once you learn the tricks of a single player game, it has nothing else to offer you. Applying that mentality to bombs may be taking it too far, but it feels satisfying after that hundredth try to squeeze through a spell card and capturing it for the first time.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7281271
I died twice on stage 2 but kept going and 1CC'd UFO hard for the first time. The trick is to absolutely not expect to win.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7281329

I actually somewhat have to agree with that. I beat Kanako in MoF after losing 3 lives to Sanae and only having 2 lives when I made it to her. The time I did expect to win with 4 lives on her last spellcard, I lost. Go figure. I still don't expect to 1cc EoSD by losing on stage 2 though.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7281297
Whoa, fighting game threads Penny dude comes to /jp/ as well? Neato.

[Anonymous No.]

is it just me, or is this card nearly impossible to capture?

[Anonymous No.]

This was my first attempt at Ran 5 days ago. I could have completed this if I didn't lose 3 lives on the stage.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7281339
It's not that hard I think. I'm about 50/50 because sometimes I see the red parts wrong and fuck it up. But it's really fun.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7281339
Not really. It's similar to Heaven and Hell Meltdown.
The bullets have tiny hitboxes, so they are easy to evade.
Just don't try to dodge in the middle because then all the bullets will come at you at the same time. Always dodge them at the left or right side.

[Yukito-san !zc0H41Z7mU No.]

>>7281297

I watch replays when I'm completely stumbled on a card and cannot progress the game without beating, it ain't really an issue in the main games but in the occasional extra card it is. I'm still trying to figure out a way on how to capture some of Marisas cards in FW extra. It's the only extra I haven't done yet but it's also the only one I haven't watched a single replay of.

I don't think too much over it though, eventually I'll get tired of her bullshit and just watch a good run.

[Anonymous No.]

I don't like score runs, for some reason.
I just focus on staying alive.
yet for some reason I ALWAYS go to the top of the screen for points, risking my life

Oh and I've fucking finally 1 CC'ed SA on normal.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7281368
the worst cards to capture in FW are probably Big Crunch and Open Universe. The latter I captured, somehow

[Anonymous No.]

I tried playing TD on Hard yesterday (because Normal felt too easy for me) and I failed horribly hard.

[Anonymous No.]

my new Touhou objective; make a compleat circle around Okuu during [Hell's Artificial Sun] while its 20% life full power. on normal difficulty of course.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7281442
That's a good idea. It would've nice if ZUN made such a spell for TD spell practice for old characters.
Okuu's last spell in Lunatic difficulty with added Suns thrown at you forcing you to circle around her (and do less damage). That card would surely last a whole minute if not longer.

I'm the same way, Anon. I need to quit that, it bones me over so much. Especially in EoSD where having a lot of lives is important to beat Remilia.

[Anonymous No.]

To be honest, I rarely pursue the UFOs. I'm more concerned about surviving the stage, the red ones are the only ones I care about. Otherwise, unless it's convenient I ignore blues and greens.

[Yutanpo !1DeKKAi00Y No.]

>>7282319
I honestly can't understand how people can get through certain spots without relying on the UFO screen clearing. Aside from point item collecting, I feel like they're too essential to the gameplay to ignore.

[Yutanpo !1DeKKAi00Y No.]

that section and the similar one close to the beginning rapes the shit out of me. also having 5-6 UFO's flying around means I always fuck up the UFO collection too.. possibly the hardest point in the game for me.

[Anonymous No.]

The reason why azns are less ashamed of their waifu collections than in the west is because parents like it when their son shows an interest in girls-having a son with 200 pictures of hatsune miku his bedroom, to the parents, just means he's got women on his mind and will likely end up producing grandchildren once his life reaches that point lol where he starts socializing with women openly and dating.

[Anonymous No.]

Still trying to 1cc IN on Hard. I haven't beaten any other Touhou game, so once I get this done, I will be pretty happy. I haven't played many other danmaku games asides from Touhou, but I feel like I'm getting close to nailing IN. But sometimes it just gets too frustrating. Oh well, must keep trying.

[Anonymous No.]

Remember when you played Touhou for fun?

[Anonymous No.]

>>7286345

I hardly play it at all now. That mind orgasm from my first 1cc feels so long ago even though it was only a few months ago, and I'm too depressed from losing to play much nowadays. I had fun with the Ten Desires demo though.

I know how you feel. All I do is things like Reimu C no movement no focus pacifist SA Lunatic full clear perfect, so nothing else feels very good.

[Anonymous No.]

I see. I'm not very good, so I typically get discouraged at the first death and start over until I get a decent start because I don't want to screw my run up because of an early screw up.

>>7286345

I still find spell practice mode fun same for StB and DS, along with my first 1CC of all the games on a respectable difficulty.

though, I'm going to try hard to 1CC ten desires on lunatic, even if it means having rediculous capture ratios in the 1/10000 margin

I'm sorry to use this thread, but I don't think it's really necessary to make a new one.

I have a strange problem with the TD demo. It has been working fine since I downloaded it the day of its release, but yesterday, without any particular reason, it stopped working in windowed mode. Yet I still year the sound of the game. And the game displays in fullscreen. It's just the windowed mode that is broken.

Even stranger, the exact same thing happened with Fairy Wars, the game stopped working in windowed mode after a couple months. I really don't know what could be the problem.

I'm thinking of trying another shot at EoSD, but it's the game where my performance varies the most. I can at least get to stage 5 normally on the games I haven't 1cc'd yet, but with EoSD I either lose at stage 4 or die near the end of stage 6. Should I go for it or just play the ones I'm more consistent in?

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7290876
I'd say go for EoSD. If all your lucky breaks line up nicely and you hold off on stupid mistakes, you could just get that 1cc.

I don't know what it is but I just can't get it down. It's not the lack of hitbox sight that gets me, it's the huge lag. I can't deathbomb worth a shit because of it, and the vsync patch doesn't work anymore even when I rename it correctly. For some reason only th06e works.
