always been a touhou fan but just recently started playing the games... currently playing embodiment of SD... i can't even make it to sakuya without using up all my continues, on normal. is this average for a beginner? i know bullet hell is bullet hell, but that's alot of shit on the screen to try and dodge, and most of the boss attacks are almost unavoidable.

[Anonymous No.]

I've been playing PCB with a vsynch patch and SoEW. I guess I'll cycle around to EoSD and LLS some time soon. I'm still struggling with each Stage 6. I've never been good at navigating walls of rice, so to speak.

Practice mode is your friend. Use continues only to unlock stages in practice mode, then play the shit out of them.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7619968
I did get IN lunatic a month or two ago, so it hasn't been all that recent, I think.

>>7619973
Yeah, more or less. You should be able to get to Remi with all your continues in a reasonably short amount of time though once you get the hang of things.
Don't think of the boss attacks as unavoidable, they're all quite dodgeable once you know what you're doing. If something seems absolutely impenetrable (like say maybe Sakuya's midboss card, hint hint) then you're probably not seeing something that makes things easier.

Went back to EoSD today, after not playing it for a really long time, focusing on other games instead. I was expecting to fail horribly after not being used to it anymore. I was half right because I somehow managed to beat all my high scores while just barely failing to 1cc. Major "wat" from me.

My first Touhou game was IN, and I remember the first time I played it, I made it to Reisen and then ran out of continues... on easy mode. Now I can clear extra practically with my eyes shut, and hard mode isn't too much of a problem, either. You get the hang of it eventually.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7620002
I mean, it is a lot like that; Unless I manage to pull through those with enough lives, the end boss just wears through me pretty quickly. When you have to deal with, say, fixed position waves of numerous, tiny bullets and something that homes in on your position, I can't navigate quickly enough- but one or the other is fine. See: Yuyuko and her "Deadly Dance" or "Flowery Soul" cards.

[Anonymous No.]

Waiting on Ten Desires. Trying to 1cc UFO on hard really killed my obsession with Touhou. I would play hours a day to try to get the 1cc, but after weeks of practically no progress I eventually came to the conclusion that it was probably my skill limit and just sort of stopped playing. Hopefully Ten Desires makes me want to play again.

I'm stuck between normal and hard. I can't beat SA or UFO on normal but I nearly cleared PCB and IN on hard.

Utsuho is just a pain in the ass because I can't practice the stage. It takes quite a huge amount of time to get there for me because I keep randomly failing against Satori or Yuugi(Orin is very easy though).

UFO? I can get to stage 4 and max out my lives there, then lose them all to Murasa or the 5th stage. It's almost physically painful having to get all these shitty ufos that disappear into a cloud of danmaku. Also curly lasers.

Should I just say fuck it and only play hard now until I'll eventually be able to clear these on normal?

[Anonymous No.]

I 1cc'd IN on hard some time ago, that's a HUGE achievement to me. Still trying to clear SA on normal; even if I make it fine through early stages, Orin just obliterates me. I've 1cc'd every other game on normal after a year of playing, so I'm pretty much left with hard modes and extra, but I'm kinda suck at it, guess these will take another year of playing.

So, I'm working on getting further, should I go finish up SA and UFO normal or just go on to MoF Hard?

I have unlocked some of the extras, but I'm stuck on those too.

Touhou is a prime example of why you need a good scoring system to make a good shmup. The scoring in Touhou (from what I've seen) is pretty dull and boring. Don't try to tell me that Touhou is all about getting the clear because honestly, any person can clear Lunatic after they've put a ton of time into it.

Compared to games like Battle Garegga or Ketsui, it's just lame.

Music's great though.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7620494
Yeah, Marisa is easy to get used to after a bit of practice. Reimu on the other hand remains difficult for me despite practice.

>>7620488

Because of Reimu/Marisa (moreso the former). Both are much tougher than Tewi and Reisen, who become easy with practice. I think Stage 1-3 of IN is really where it gets its reputation as being the easiest Touhou. You can breeze through them, but then at Stage 4 the difficulty suddenly picks up.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7620534

And for the record, UFO's scoring system is awesome, albeit probably a love/hate thing. And no, calling it a "gimmick" doesn't make it less valid.

WHY

[Anonymous No.]

Just 1CC Normal PCB last week.
Now playing STB, finished stage 1-4 and half of stage 5. Can't do anything in stage 6-7, so goddamn hard.
Tried DS stage 1-2, felt easier than STB.

Btw, how do i beat that spellcard (pic related) ? I can't get the camera ready before the second intersect even when i charge all the time.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7620577
>Tried DS stage 1-2, felt easier than STB.
Overall, DS is easier, but much more fun, in my opinion.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7620564
That's what everyone says. Fucking savants. ;_;

[Anonymous No.]

>>7620577

DS is easier. I'm on level 9 in DS, level 7 in StB. Part of the reason is because DS has a vertical camera shot, that and you only need to beat two scenes of the latest level you're on to get to the next level instead of three scenes. I can't beat anything in level 7 of StB, so I'll probably need to beat earlier scenes to get to level 8.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7620570

Utsuho wasn't that badass. I could tell she was an airhead right away in her dialogue. Mokou on the other hand, is different.

>If you don't try your best, it'll be "game over for you!
>There's no turning back. It's the 1-way battle at 2 am!
>So here's that trial of guts you wanted.

>Hey, are you really human?
>Forget your trial and go home. This place isn't suited to the likes of you.
Words of a true elite.

>Does the human have any guts?
>Maybe her guts are hard and stiff, or maybe she's simply a fool.

She's practically mocking Marisa's, saying she's an airhead. (She's done that in more than just the game, by the way).

Not to mention her semi-poetic tone when she's talking about the resurrection of the Phoenix.

Well, at least I think she's poetic.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7620583
>>7620590
DS is indeed easier due to the alternate shot type, StB feels a bit more raw and a slightly bigger focus on the throwshitatyou aspect while DS does follow a bit more the beautiful pattern aspect more than the difficulty itself.

Despite that I still can't beat that one Yamame spellcard, you know which one.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>7620603
Everyone's poetic in Touhou, you have to be to name your spellcards and you have to name your spellcards to use them.

DS is harder because it's... wavier. There's more variance. Also more levels.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7620608

Well, at the very least it's easier to advance in. I can't get anywhere in StB because Sakuya and Remilia completely wreck me, and I don't fare much better against Chen and Youmu.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7620603
Dude, every Touhou acts poetic in one way or another, it's just that you have a preference towards Mokou and don't realize that those lines are normal.

Not to mention, I can't see the ''shiny badass eliteness'' in those words yet I can see an actual badass factor in these lines:

Lord Yatagarasu, the Black Sun.
Thank you for giving me your power.
The sunlight that rains down on the Earth
is a nuclear furnace that will create new atoms.
My ultimate nuclear fusion will burn up
every body, heart, ghost, and fairy!

It's most likely one's preferences after all, although you have to admit this paragraph here hasn't been matched yet, mostly due to her being the first actual villain.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7620616
Oh, sure, it's easier to unlock all the levels in DS, but much harder to clear them all.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7620607

I'm a little biased, but I think the only thing that comes close is Yuyuko's last lines before her fight in PCB.

PCB Alice gives the same kind of charisma.
But it's significantly different from Mokou's, which I feel is a restrained sense of overwhelming power. I think that part appeals to me the most.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7620700
Something's wrong with you then? Even ZUN himself said that DS was easier in terms of danmaku, add the whole second shot type and it becomes even easier.

It's one of those cards that seems hard until you find out the trick, then it gets much easier. I have a feeling Sakuya in 7-7 is like that but I still can't beat her even though I know the timing of picture taking now.

[Kilgamayan !2BklmILFiE No.]

It's admittedly a bit of a thinking solution for that point in the game.

What trick? You just go charge mode, take a shot then switch direction and repeat. That's like basic danmaku strategy except replacing dash to the corner to create a gap with taking a picture.

Well, it's really basic admittedly, but occasionally I had that thing bounce at me from a weird angle and get hit because of it. That was back when I was worse than I am now though, although I'm still bad.

Iku's star card is really simple. The star's alternate the gap continually. just go left, right, left, right, etc and take a zoom shot whenever the camera's charged up.

It's a lot harder with Hatate though due to her smaller photo and no zoom.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7620775
Sakuya's 7-7 is really easy if you don't bother with the timing actually. Simply use the zoom function. Going for the proper timing is only if you want to score.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7620814

I usually get hit during that time. I managed to beat Satori's card in DS that felt kind of similar to it in some ways in about 5 minutes, but I can't beat that one for some reason.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7620798
How horrible.

[Anonymous No.]

Focus more on weaving through the knives then. You want to navigate a quick path through them so you can get close as Sakuya is only starting her knife burst. Optimally you want to be outside, but close as you take the photo so you don't have to zoom too much.

The first photo can also be taken incredibly quickly and reliably if you charge move slightly to the right then dash straight up.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7620823
Not really. Remember in BAJR, Tewi managed to pull a scam to get money from Gensokyo people but most people didn't mind (Miss M, miss A and miss S)

Reimu is just doing the same but for long term.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7620818
>>7620828
And I forgot to quote. Ah well, here's another run. It's rather easy to do consistently since it's entirely pattern based and not random at all besides for where Sakuya moves and she always moves in the direction you're in.

I honestly find her 7-5 far more bullshitty.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7620837

I see. But yeah, I have trouble with everything she throws out. Same with Remilia. I can't beat either of them. Maybe I should just work at it more.

[Anonymous No.]

And now going back to it after so long I finally realize the trick is to stay in a corner. I wonder why I didn't try that when I first doing this card.

[Anonymous No.]

I don't see a gap.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7620856
It's not exactly a gap. More like a turnstyle.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7620798
Wrong, without the Hakurei god Gensokyo wouldn't exist, as it is the entity that originally created Gensokyo (some say it's actually the Dragon) nor would Reimu and her ancestors have magical abilities.

If you want in-game evidence, Byakuren herself notices that Reimu's god isn't happy.

Not to mention, Reimu doesn't get a single yen from solving incidents nor occasional donations (except Yukari), mind you.

[Anonymous No.]

It's rather easy once you get going through the turnstyles down as that's pretty much the entire card.

Recently started playing the games two months ago. Beat EoSD, PCB, and IN all on normal with 1cc. I have only beat one extra that being Flandre and close to beating Ran.

Currently playing MoF on normal, but getting my ass handed to me by Kanako and I always die at her last spell. I'll beat it eventually, but it's pissing me off.

Anyways I skipped PoFV because I saw some game play of it it and didn't like the VS type game play. Should I go back and play it after I am done with MoF or is it better to skip it?

[Anonymous No.]

>>7621592
That card's some of the most bullshit elements of danmaku combined. Curvy lasers, diagonally crossing bullets, diagonally crossing curvy lasers.

The trick is to immediately get past the first wave of lasers as fast as you can so you're left with only the second wave to dodge. The bottom of the stage is pretty much a deathtrap so always stay near Iku. It's just that all four waves of bullets are randomly spawned. The counterclockwise curvy lasers, the counterclockwise fatigue bullets, the clockwise curvy lasers(which can randomly vary between squashed together or evenly spaced), and the clockwise fatigue bullets.

This is one of those cards where you'll have to dash around frantically in focus mode to survive if it comes to it, but you can also end up staying completely in charge mode from photo shot to photo shot depending on your positioning and if you're lucky.

This card is pretty much a test of persistence.

Persistence meaning ability to keep going until you get lucky enough to complete it.

Took me like 1-2 hours to get this crummy completion of it.

[Anonymous No.]

Fuck this shit.

[Anonymous No.]

Here's a picture more closely detailing what I meant. The best strategy is to always try to get past these gaps as fast as you can so that you're left with only counterclockwise bullets to dodge.

Also I mislabeled the clockwise bullets as counterclock and vice versa in my previous post.

The fact that all waves are random means this card can get very luckbased so just keep trying.

If you've gotten to the last shot at 100% five times already then you probably know how to best do this card already. Just keep trying until you get it that final shot I guess.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7621796
That's just the singlehandedly the most bullshit card in Shoot the Bullet and I don't have real advice besides do it as fast as you can as it's pure bullshit just surviving at the later shots.

It's just that bullshit.

The DS Electric Boogaloo version is thankfully much easier due to it being only 3 shots even if they are comparable to the last bullshitty ones of the original.

All this talk made me revisit this scene. I'm having a hard time improving my score on it, oh well.

I don't know, it's how I've always played it. Retreating too far is what always gets me killed. Once you're comfortable with the scene, waiting for the opportunity to run up and get the two shot bonus isn't that bad. The nice shot bonus happens to align with the easiest time to get close, as well. Still, I'm far behind the ~1.3M world record scores for this scene.

If you want to improve your score of it you need to go for consistently good shots. Shots 2-4 you fail to center the camera on Iku. There are two ways of centering the camera, moving back slightly in shift mode which I stopped doing in Double Spoiler since it will get rid of the two shot bonus at aa certain range and dashing towards the boss and quickly taking a photo which is far more dangerous, but nets consistently good shots.

This scene took me like 2-3 hours to scorerun due to all the deaths though. Double Spoiler and Shoot the Bullet scoring is all about figuring out the most optimal way to take your shots. The actual undertaking of the shots you just keep trying until you succeed.

Ah, well, the middle shots weren't so good, but I can see how 1.3M+ scores aren't impossible. They'd just require a lot of patience.

Yep. Doing suicidally risky manuevers is Aya's life. Taking a photo like this is going to be the death of her. Like in this picture.

That card is just so stupid on Lunatic.
Seriously, why.

Currently putting off playing the games on Lunatic mode; so far I've 1cc'd every Windows game from the main series and cleared the extra stages and feel I can tackle Lunatic mode. However I also have a dissertation to write which is due in september and I haven't started. Both require too much effort really.

Also, still looking forward to Ten Desires. Gameplay was sort of okay but I mainly like the games for their OST so I'm looking forward to what the themes for the stage 4-6 + extra stage and bosses sound like. The demo OST is quite nice, Stage 3 boss theme is particularly catchy in my opinion.

I expect lots of boss grazing opportunities.
