Playing DOJ will make you really solid at other STGs. Before playing it, I hardly made it past Stage 1 Hard, now I'm peeking into Stage 5 Hard more and more.

However, people are saying DOJ is easy now? Is it some kind of joke? Because Naut was able to get a 2-ALL, hence it's easy? Preposterous.

Ten Desires. Hisoutensoku. IaMP. And I thought she was pretty fun in PoFV, not sure how she does on tier lists, though. And those last two aren't STGs, but it's still relevant, I suppose. Really good for score in IN as well, supposedly. I've never played for score though, because I know I would be shit at it.

Also, trying to play Futari Black Label on MAME and it's laggy as shit. I'm guessing it's either just poor emulation or poor hardware. In any case, I'll be happy in 10 years when I can finally play it without lag, and when DFK gets emulated.

Every team has permanent item collection. Alice is a little stronger than Youmu if your option shots aren't hitting at all, otherwise she's quite a bit weaker.

The only time Alice does more damage than Youmu is if you're only hitting familiars with Youmu, when Alice could go through them. And even that can be pretty useful sometimes.

Not the same anon, but a very old tourneypro once told me that I should only bomb after my first death, or if I'm playing to 1cc, never die with bombs in stock.

Does the maximum bomb multiplier make that much of a difference? Also, when to hyper in DOJ? I noticed this game gets much harder when I have 4 or 5 hypers in stock going into 1-2 or 1-3. But at the same time, nothing beats popping off a hyper at a boss and seeing their health drain extremely quickly. I really don't know how rank works in this game, though.

Sweet, I love me some Mars Matrix. Thanks!

[Anonymous No.]

>>8581478
Carrying maximum bonus throughout the game (DOJ) nets you a significant amount of bonus. I can see the logic of start bombing after the death because score increase by max bonus is at exponential rate. Keeping a measly 2x bonus is really not worth it.

For hypers, I have already a dead set route when I should hyper or not, but here are my priorities when I was forging my route :
1. I try to save hyper for difficult to chain places.
2. I avoid/time my hyper if there's a bee that can be picked up, for example 1-3 first bee.
3. I save my hypers for places with high density of enemies, like tank corridors in 1-2 and 2-2.
4. I avoid activating hyper at bosses except 1-1, 1-2 and 1-4. The ~10M increase is so not worth the angered boss.

For rank, it directly correlates with your survival (no-miss = more rank) and hyper activation (more hyper = more rank). To reduce it, either die or bomb while in hyper mode. Keep in mind that bombing in non-hyper mode doesn't reduce the rank. There's an in-depth guide about how ranks work and rank counter hack rom in the system11.

PS : If you 2-ALL-ed the game while in max bonus you get 100M while tallying the end game bonus. No one has ever done it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8581555
I see, thank you. I'm guessing that keeping the MAX bonus will only really help me if I want to break a world record, which won't be happening anytime soon. Popping off hypers on 1-3 boss is probably the reason why it messes me up so badly, now that I think about it.

I'll have to check out that rank counter, I think the reason why I'm having so much difficulty with 1-3 and beyond is because I'm just using hypers at terrible times and whatnot. I always just kill 1-1 boss without using hypers, so I'm usually going into 1-2 with 3 hypers most of the time. And then I end up burning all of my hyper on the 1-2 boss, going into 1-3 with that hyper still active probably makes my rank skyrocket.

[Anonymous No.]

What's the best combo for survival in DOJ.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8581611
Oh right I forget to mention. Activating a hyper multiply the rank by 4, temporarily. When it ends you could notice the bullet speed starting to slow down again.

Also in 1-3 and 2-3, if you kill the big ship at the start fast enough (i.e. using 2-hyper powered laser), more big ships will come from your right and left. You could watch it from the attract/demo sequence, the demo ship started 1-3 with 5 hypers and killed the big ships very quickly. Maybe that's what you experience as rank skyrocketing, because rank increase from hyper is rather slow, linear, and requires about 35 hypers to peak.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8581619
Hyper when you're about to get hit from a bullet. Survival.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8581611
Just read a guide, DOJ's system is really arcane. And.. last I saw, nobody had figured it out all the way. But if there's a rank rom hack now, they must have. I need to look at that.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8581478
The maximum bomb multiplier in DOJ is (your max chain) * (10) * (bomb multiplier) points per frame during stages. Bomb multiplier increases by one for each additional bomb you collect while carrying your maximum bomb stock. If you don't get a high chain at some point, then the max bomb bonus won't be worth a lot. However, if you get a 3000+ hit chain on 1-5 and have a x6 maximum bomb multiplier for example (meaning no miss no bomb the first loop), you can get well over 60 million points on 2-1 just from maximum bonus. It's worth a lot if you can nmnb the first loop. If you can't, it's worth pretty much nothing.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8581847
Well, that was educational.
http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=36068
http://www.mediafire.com/?2q36bkpz3uesm7v

So standard rank affects bullet density and firing rate, and never lowers (not from dying nor continuing) except for the temporary increase during a hyper wearing off. It caps out around 1-4 with just a little bit of head room for hypering. So it's just a thing to make loop 1 ramp up in difficulty more than loop 2, not really a variable rank. Hyper rank affects bullet speed AND firing rate, which is why everyone thought dying lowered standard rank.

>>8582827
I'm usually like that with every new thing I see in an STG. I almost always panic once I see the final boss for the first time, even if I've practiced stage 3-5 multiple times and have enough resources to just cheese it out. If I could chain hits in DOJ like I chain deaths, I would probably be one of the best players in the west.

More or less though, I end up 1ccing the game anyways because I have so many resources, so not even the biggest fuck up could stop me. I should probably just start continuing to unlock Stage 6, it would certainly make a lot of my replays much more pleasing to watch if I could stop having sloppy runs on ST6.

[Anonymous No.]

There's no rank in MoF. It's in LLS through EoSD, and PCB has a tiny vestigial system, and that's all.

[Anonymous No.]

Here's a PROTIP for DOJBL that I just figured out recently. Begin the 1-4 boss with 1 hyper in stock, and another 3/4 of a hyper meter filled. This way, if you die during his first phase, you can spawn, bomb twice, and pick up a hyper before his next phase begins. If you dodge everything, you can hyper his final phase and you'll be able to fill up 5 more hyper meters to begin stage 5 with.

>PCB is a great game but the Blossom system is broken as fuck
Since when. Breaking borders isn't beneficial for score except for a few very specific cases.
>IN is a great game but you have fucking 2 seconds deathbombing
You shouldn't be bombing, and deathbombing has an even larger time penalty.
>MoF is a great game but you can bombfest your way throught it and get a great score
Simply false, unless your definition of "great" is vastly different than mine.
>SA is a great game but you don't even need to risk going above the PoC
I don't know how to address this since this isn't even close to being the biggest problem with SA, or a problem at all.
>UFO is a great game but if you go for green and red UFOs it becomes easy mode.
Useless for scoring, and people consider UFO to have the hardest Lunatic of the Windows series.

The problem with TD is that its scoring system demands that you remain invincible for a huge portions of the game. The last time I checked, the Lunatic WR for that game had maybe 2 spell card captures. As a result, scoring is comparatively unintuitive and uninteresting. Now, that's all pretty subjective, but I'm pretty sure it's fair to assume that most people don't find the idea of No Dodge ~The Game~ very appealing. Remove trance invincibility and I wouldn't shit on TD as much as I do.

I started playing these games a year after IN's release. I quit late 2007. People say UFO is the hardest, but I don't buy it. Mashing green/red UFOs and bombing to differentiate them is absolutely no different from deathbombing in IN with Reimu A in the very, very large deathbomb window. Yet people still continue to say UFO is the hardest game on Lunatic despite this. People continue to bash TD's hyper length, but seem to forget that Reimu A's bomb in UFO lasts 4.5/5th of a spellcard.

Unfortunately, I'm uninfluenced by your "my dad could beat your up" attitude. Call me when you're in a position to fight your own battles.

Hi, >>8585571 here. I made a response last night but it ended up over 2000 characters. So I'll keep this short:

I think EoSD is the hardest in terms of "survival". Incremental, balanced difficulty with all score extends met by the fourth stage. My theory is, players concentrate harder when they have fewer lives, fewer bombs, compared to when they have more bombs, more lives.

Top players deliberately suicide on China for score, to acquire more bombs to use against some of her spells. This results in 2-3 lives for the rest of the game, which is simply exhausting on Lunatic. Heavy memorization of the fourth stage is necessary, hell, even strategic bombing on the books is necessary (and even then, it might not be enough for some). Patchouli is at least a little more forgiving if you're using Reimu B/linear shot.

Rather than a stage digest, I'll explain the odd difficulty spikes of the other games.

PCB: Actually pretty balanced here, with a good scoring system. They should bring it back.
IN: Replace Marisa/Reimu with Reisen.
MoF: Replace Aya with Sanae, no explanation necessary.
SA: SWAP the fifth and final stage.
UFO: Infected fairies = focus for time orbs. Would work with either PCB or IN's system. UFOs are dumb.
TD: whatever

UFO's difficulty is massively overrated. Take UFOs out of it and suddenly the main threat are the bosses after basic memorization. Collect UFOs and the main threat are the stages. Actually, UFOs are a threat themselves. I like risk/reward, especially unfocused PCB movement, but not being punished for trying to grab a UFO at a certain time. Stuff like that doesn't happen in EoSD/PCB/SA. Mashing red UFOs which in turn gives lives AND bombs is really unbalanced.

As for scoring, probably IN. There's just so much going on, and all top runs use unfocused Youmu solo.

[Anonymous No.]

There's a good thread about this over on SAoVQ, it mentions / links to a lot of games I'd never heard of:

http://www.secretareaofvipquality.net/saovq/kareha.pl/1220248578/

[Anonymous No.]

>>8587459

I forgot to mention some minor specifics as well, but important enough to come back and post:

EoSD's lack of visible hitbox and lack of enemy marker at the bottom increase the difficulty as well. You would not believe how helpful it is in the rest of the games, especially for linear shots.

Anyway, knowing ZUN, I'm glad UFO exists because he isn't going to make another game with that system again.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8587459
>My theory is, players concentrate harder when they have fewer lives, fewer bombs, compared to when they have more bombs, more lives.
Dying = huge blow on your score in other games, you may as well as give up your run if dying.

>Top players deliberately suicide on China for score, to acquire more bombs to use against some of her spells. This results in 2-3 lives for the rest of the game, which is simply exhausting on Lunatic.
SA and UFO Lunatic top plays play with resource as scarce as EoSD, and in IN you aren't suppose to use your resources at all.

>Heavy memorization of the fourth stage is necessary, hell, even strategic bombing on the books is necessary (and even then, it might not be enough for some).
Other games requires heavy memo and strategic bombing too.

>Patchouli is at least a little more forgiving if you're using Reimu B/linear shot.
Patchouli is an average stage 4 boss, like the others.

>Difficulty spike
I don't mind them, because I look the game as a whole route. If it's lenient in later stages then I'm not complaining. Exception is SA because stage 1 is so restart syndrome.

>UFO's difficulty is massively overrated. Take UFOs out of it and suddenly the main threat are the bosses after basic memorization.
No-UFO Lunatic run is an idea. And from my experience I could say UFO's memorization is as hard as the other games, and on top of it, I need to dodge random bullets much more often.

>Actually, UFOs are a threat themselves. I like risk/reward, especially unfocused PCB movement, but not being punished for trying to grab a UFO at a certain time.
Grabbing an UFO requires heavy memorization, which you advertise in your third paragraph.

[Anonymous No.]

>Mashing red UFOs which in turn gives lives AND bombs is really unbalanced.
Don't get red UFOs then. Either No-UFO run (should only be 'basic memorization', right?), or play with no red/green UFO and aim for the highest score.

>EoSD's lack of visible hitbox and lack of enemy marker at the bottom increase the difficulty as well. You would not believe how helpful it is in the rest of the games, especially for linear shots.
It's certainly somewhat nice to look at hitbox but it's not necessary when one have played the game long enough. For example I know where my hitbox is in DOJ, after hundreds of hours playing it. And EoSD has some pseudo hitbox marker anyway. Reimu's waist.

What I don't like from EoSD scoring is safespotting. I don't really like going into a bullet cloud then getting hit just because I missed 1 pixel from the intended safespot. You have seen the Lunatic/Extra top plays, and there are like tens of safespots that one have to get used to and practice. That wasted time could be used to dodge fun attacks.

[Anonymous No.]

Man, I have no motivation to play anything right now. I hope Under Defeat HD sparks my autism.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8587459
UFO seems like it has the highest average difficulty in terms of bullets and stuff. And then you add token collecting onto that, and yeah the systems compensate but it's still fucking hard. I've only really spent any time with EoSD lunatic so I can't say much more.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8587459

I cleared EoSD Lunatic by no-missing stages 1-3 (not too difficult) and then bombing my way through the hard stuff in the rest of the game. It's not that bad. By way of comparison, my first EoSD Lunatic 1cc happened one day after my first UFO Hard 1cc.

You can get red UFOs but just collecting the tokens takes skill, and if you fuck up and accidentally touch a different color token (very, very easy to do) you basically lose those resources, plus you don't get a UFO spawn, which can fuck you if you depend on one to clear the screen. Not to mention filling the UFO and killing it before it leaves the screen. The stages and bossfights are both extremely difficult, even with UFO spam and the resources you can gather.

Have you actually played since you 'quit' in 2007? The way you talk about how easy UFO is because of red UFOs kind of makes me think of people who say 3rd Strike is easy because you can just parry everything.

Not the guy you are replying to, but I have beated every touhou except for PoFV and PoDD in lunatic and for me hardest is EoSD.
Mostly because I don´t like bombspamming my way through the game, because you can easily bomb spam Remi, but if you don,t and go for a NB run, EoSD is nearly impossible, not whole EoSD but Remilia, 4 of her spells will randomly corner you, her nonspell will most likely clip you, also your hitbox is weird and even with the Vsynch patch movement is not perfect. Oh I nearly forgot Sakuya stage 6 midboss final attack, you have a very low probability of surviving so you are forced to bomb (and you get your bomb back). But there it is where a NB usually dies if not in the books.
I don´t even want to talk about Scarlet Meister, that spell seriously makes me mad.

Youmu takes some time to get used to but once you get the hang of her she's killer. On Imperishable her team is great because Youmu's super-focused shots are awesome for taking out the bosses' familiars, and Yuyuko plasters the whole screen with ordnance while moving slow and this makes her great to shoot down enemies that aren't directly above you while navigating a tight-ass pack of shots.

Practice Mode, and Spellcard Practice on Imperishable and Ten Desires, will be your best friends.

Also, all the first part of the Touhou Wiki's general strategy guide. Playing your first Touhou is really more about abandoning your old ways and embracing the way of danmaku.

A good general strategy that works for me is to do your hardest to reach the last stage with as much lives as possible. This way you will reach the final boss with a lot of lives and spellcards that will give you much more chances of successfully pushing through the last mile of the game.

Because you probably aren't aware how many bombs you have to use in Lunatic UFO just to get the clear. Or life, because the game throw away so many extends.

If you think only one boss is hard, then it certainly can be bruteforced/luckshit, not 'nearly impossible' as you said. On the other hand, I always feel every boss AND stage in UFO can potentially end NB run, so it's an order of magnitude much harder than EoSD.

There are only 2 random-walling cards at Remilia, Vampire Illusion and Scarlet Gensokyo. First card doesn't count because the game expect you to not stupid enough to stay below Remilia forever. Scarlet Meister doesn't wall, it's just that card is very hard. Thousand Needle doesn't wall either. If you still clip at Remilia non-card then you need more practice.

I would be grateful if you have the PC98 Touhou soundtracks. I can't use BGM ripper, and most of the links are from MU.

In TD my FPS is locked at 50 frames except for during spellcards, This is really frustrating.
Does anyone know what could be causing this or even fix this?

[Anonymous No.]

>>8591571
Maybe your PC can't handle the backgrounds in TD. It could also just be bad Japanese programming, who knows.

Do you have Mystic square? it includes all PC-98 themes. If you know how to extract the midis from there you are done.

oh, I have them on my external. Want them on mediafire?

I honestly don't see why i find IN to be so hard compared to the others.
Might be because of the shot types or my style of play but I can 1CC all of the other games, But not IN.

[Anonymous No.]

no wait, actually this here seems to be where I downloaded it a few years ago, from some Italian forum. Mediafire is awesome.

Yeah.

It would be nice if someone got the Rayons de l'air soundtrack for Raycrisis, but just dump what you can, man.

[Anonymous No.]

Do you guys consider using the maximum amount of lives instead of default amount cheating?

[Anonymous No.]

To the person who's dumping Cave stuff, would you happen to have a V0, 320, or FLAC copy of Namiki's Ketsui/DOJ OST? It'd be much appreciated if you would up a copy.

Anything that is already in the game cannot be considered cheating. It's spineless, but if you REALLY want those stages unlocked, go for it. In any case, it isn't a real 1cc unless you use default settings. It's still a 1cc, just one without default settings.

I don't have too much of a say in the matter as I'm only on Hard mode, but I don't think so.
I mean, it supposedly ruins your score, and it does give the good endings.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8591941

Nope, but I wouldn't really go for it, either.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8591941
It's not cheating, but it's not a standard 1CC. When people talk about a 1CC, they generally mean with default difficulty settings and not using any bugs. Anything else in the game is fine.

It's not cheating. It's part of the game, and the penalty is a score deduction.

Hey guys I'm taking a break from the shooters and feel like playing the touhou fighting games. I've played them a total of twice and gave up on them because I didn't bother to learn the controls. I'm so bored I feel like giving them another chance. Any tips?

Play the computer until you stop losing to the computer. (ideally with a method other than "sit across the screen and spam strong shot")

Use training mode until you get a feel for whatever character you want to learn. I wouldn't recommend starting with Suwako or Remilia in Hisoutensoku, or Meiling in IaMP. Marisa and Sakuya both are good starter characters for IaMP. For Hisoutensoku, anybody except those two are pretty good for starting.

However, if you start playing with Utsuho, you WILL learn a lot of bad habits.

Thank you, sir. I'll bookmark this thread in the meantime.

It feels really good when you start to make it to the next stage in a STG. But for some reason when ever I finally make my way to the next stage in a Toho after many deaths, it just doesn't feel as good.

[Anonymous No.]

Since IaMP was mentioned, how are you supposed to use the number pad for controls? Arrow keys work fine, but nothing I do seems to get the pad to work.

I had this problem too.
It seems to be set up for player 2 in config, and even if I change it all over to player 1 I can't use the diagnol keys.
