Under Defeat HD. Going to start doing runs from 2-1 so I can 2-ALL it eventually.

[Anonymous No.]

Made a save state for Ura-1 and I've just been playing how I would normally play any other arcade game, starting with one credit and ending when I run out of lives. Those suicide bullets are murder.

So thrilling practicing impossibly difficult stuff, it's the same feeling I get whenever I load up Hibachi in DDP first thing in the morning for waking myself up.

DOJ Hibachi(both WL and BL) was kind of a let-down after playing through the intense as hell 2-5, to be honest. DDP Hibachi is far more threatening than DOJ Hibachi will ever be.

Maybe tomorrow I'll make a save state for DOOM, I only make it to Ura-3 at most in full runs, but I'm interested to seeing if DOOM is also a push-over compared to the stages. The funny thing is, DonPachi is a ghost town compared to later CAVE games, but for some reason, I still get terribly destroyed by it. Many of the deaths feel really cheesy to me, but it's probably just the larger hitboxes getting to me.

[Anonymous No.]

How do you guys feel about arcade sticks? I've noticed a lot of STG players prefer keyboards. Do you like square, octagon or circle gates? What lever do you use?.

I couldn't imagine playing on anything else.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>8661025
There's a ton of ways to play DOOM without having to savestate your way through Ura. Ketsui Death Label, various Danmakufu scripts (notably, Evaccania BIEBER), etc. etc.

Though I suppose doing it in the game would be the most accurate.

I dunno, I always found both Hibachi's medium in difficulty. DDP Hibachi is where I would always get destroyed. Double Hibachi in Death Label in a no-bomb/hyper run is where it's really at, my first run of Death Label, I felt super cheesy abusing safespots, hypers, and bombs with A-S. Even worse is the fact that Double Hibachi goes easy on you with A-S.

>>8661129
One time, I tried to no-miss no-bomb EoSD Extra Ultra. It was kind of fun in a way, but eventually, it just became super frustrating and depressing after about 5 hours of dying on the same spellcard and having to restart millions of times. QED Ultra is a real kicker, I'm very glad ZUN put that spellcard in GFW Normal as a non-spell.

Back when my 360 still worked, I would get disconnected from score attack runs constantly, and I have pretty good net. I decided to just give up on it completely and stop trying, making it near the end of a good run and getting disconnected really pisses me right off.

>>8661587
I'm bottom of the barrel shit tier at STGs, but one time I saw 2-2 in DDP and Stage 4 in SA Hard, so it made me happy. Shame both of those runs were complete luckshit, I never see anything beyond 1-5 or stage 3 anymore.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

"Well, I just no-missed everything except the very end of 1-4 boss, guess I'd better die on literally the first bullet 1-5 shoots because of laser-aura'ing in the wrong place. Yes, that sounds wonderful."

Other than that, oh man, this was such a pretty run. Those little spinny gear things in 1-5 that spawn along with the giant bees just parted their shots so perfectly for me. Hnngh.

I'm never getting this far again...

first bullet 1-5 boss*

[Anonymous No.]

>>8661825
Getting that far in DOJBL isn't too difficult if you go full Korean and start grinding every single stage with save states. Sadly, save states are the only option for me as far as BL goes because the glorious PS2 port is WL.

It feels really hollow grinding the same stage over and over again though, but hey, if you want good performance, it's one of the ways to do it.

[Anonymous No.]

As usual, my first 1-ALL of DOJBL was on a messing around run where I died twice on stage 2 and wasn't even thinking about clearing until the last 1/4. If I could just fool myself like that all the time...

[Anonymous No.]

>>8662164
Some of my best runs in DDP are when I miss on the ship selection screen, choosing A-S instead of A-L. It's a shame A-S is too slow and I cannot grab the bees fast enough, need more practice.

Oddly enough, the second time I looped DDP was when I fucked up and chose B-S of all shot types.

DOOM is really easy for a Cave TLB, but really fun to go up against.

[Riz !5.t9CxHR0g!!5lTr5XeDmip No.]

I feel like I've royally burned myself out on this game. I can still play it, but I feel like I'm just playing to play, not playing to win. The only fun in this game anymore is trying to achieve goals that I can't accomplish, and the luster to achieve them is minimal. Playing regular Lunatic runs is boring, because I feel like it's too easy. I'm not a big fan of scoring, so I can't enjoy that either. My NB/NBNUFO runs are all that I have left, and they're not getting anywhere. I haven't been playing much, and I can feel my skills dissipating. I can start grinding again to get them back, but what will happen then? I'll burn myself out and lose them again? I managed to get to a state when I was perfecting everything up to Murasa more often that not, and usually only making a small mistake on Murasa. After that, everything after midboss Nazrin destroyed me, and then I had to repeat the whole run to try again. It was through this technique that I once managed to get to Byakuren's last spellcard in a NBNUFO run. I grinded for weeks after that, but I could never come close to it again. I feel like I have accomplished a lot in my almost one year of playing Touhou, but I can't get myself to play like I used to. Maybe I just need to wait for summer to start back up again. Maybe I should take the focus away from the main goals, and just try to play because I like it. I really do like the game. It's one of the most perfect things I've ever played. UFO and Touhou in general have been very kind to me. I found the perfect game for myself along with the perfect community for it. I love some games that I hate the community for, and so I don't play them. Sometimes, liking the community was enough for me to play a bad game. Touhou got both of these things right, and so I found a home in it.

[Riz !5.t9CxHR0g!!5lTr5XeDmip No.]

I still want to beat this game, I'm just stuck and lacking in motivation. I still haven't exhausted all my possibilities, so I'm going to keep trying. It's strange - Sometimes, I feel like I can do it, but then I don't. Sometimes, I feel like I'm hopelessly outclassed. Sometimes, I feel like I'm implementing the wrong technique or I'm missing the proper technique. Sometimes, I feel like I'm just not good enough at dodging bullets. Maybe it's a mixture of all these things? Maybe I should just ignore them and keep playing? Decisions, decisions...

I think a long break might be healthy. Go play some other STGs for awhile. Or better yet, move on to Ultra if regular survival runs for Lunatic are too boring for you.

If it makes you feel any better, I've been playing DDP since it came out on the Saturn, and I have a little over 300 hours played in MAME and I've only beaten it maybe thirty times out of all of those hours played.

>I think a long break might be healthy. Go play some other STGs for awhile. Or better yet, move on to Ultra if regular survival runs for Lunatic are too boring for you.
I did take a long break. I've barely been playing UFO, and I went to get a VOWG timeout and DOJ 1-ALL. I forgot about Ultra. I was doing pretty well it in, but I didn't play for too long. I don't think I could "move on" to Ultra. I don't consider it to be another difficulty, just another challenge. It's not a real game to me, and I would never take it seriously.
>If it makes you feel any better, I've been playing DDP since it came out on the Saturn, and I have a little over 300 hours played in MAME and I've only beaten it maybe thirty times out of all of those hours played.
That's not so bad, especially considering the limitations of the Saturn. Maybe I should go for small challenges such as looping some arcade games or perfecting some Extra stages. Accomplishing something might increase my motivation. I can a few credits of UFO per day, and then work on some other projects in the meantime.

Things that depend too much on prior knowledge of the stage. Like for example, in EoSD's case you could do Starbow Break or QED first try if you're a good dodger. The same cannot be said for Lævatein or Maze of Love. And I feel the later games moved more towards the latter.

Well... Let me formulate it like this:
- lunatic clear requires too much of a bo-oring and monotonous work. Make one run right after another, don't make any breaks (or you'll lose your skills immediately) and memorize memorize memorize...
Right now I am taking touhou as easy as possible (for touhou, that is). One run of this game, one run of that game... New ReimuA EoSD Normal record! Nice... And then no runs for, say, several days. And after that I can play all games mixed up all day long. Just because I feel like it.

Playing should be fun, right? And hundreds of hardcore lunatic runs... doesn't look like much fun for me.

>>8665155
Okay.jpg

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>8665145
Doesn't really require hundreds, except possibly for UFO. I think I'd only gotten into stages 5-6 maybe 8 times for the MoF clear, and IN probably less than that, mostly because I'd spread my runs out across all the games, and not just one over and over. Granted, those are the easiest two lunatics, but still. As long as you play a variety of games increasing in difficulty go play Mars Matrix, then you'll never be bored as your skills improve.

I think Charlie Brooker put it nicely when he described Touhou fans as "masochistic maniacs" who actively enjoy playing these games.

So I'm going to assume that you've actually used the hitbox patch in conjunction with the maximum amount of lives. Which is funny, because EoSD practically feeds you lives before the fourth stage.

You haven't "accomplished" anything at all. Or, for that matter, 1cc'd. Maybe you'd like to delete your copy of EoSD and try again, without the fabricated bullshit? Hey, maybe I'll add a hitbox patch to Daioujou and Ketsui, and post my scores on system11. No problem, right?

It's okay. It's not like anyone is going to take you seriously since you *actively think* using the hitbox patch is acceptable.

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>8668627
If you haven't played DOJ and Ketsui enough to know where the hitbox is without having to look anywhere near your ship, then your scores will be too shitty to get onto the lists anyways.

Again, hitbox patches are trivial. They really do not matter in the long run.

>>8668630
That's simply how it is. A clear without using continues but with extra bonus lives isn't any more innately better than a clear that uses a continue without bonus lives. Once you start actually caring about your effort, you'll realize this.

Fuck that, I have 500+m in DOJBL and I would definitely have way less random, game-ending deaths if I could see my hitbox. It makes a significant difference.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8668630

I'm gonna drop some science on you. Check this:
5 default starting lives + 0 continues = 5 lives
3 default starting lives + 1 continue = 5 lives

Whoops, using extra starting lives is exactly the same as continuing. A 1cc means you didn't continue. You can say "well I technically didn't use continues so it still counts!" but that's obviously not true. It's not a big deal, and you shouldn't feel bad about having to use a continue, just call it what it actually is. Practice some more and you'll get a legitimate 1cc.

Feel free to live with it, also feel free to know that you're not accomplishing anything by playing with it, not capable of submitting scores to royalflare/system11/cave-stg/shrinemaiden/basically anywhere that accepts scores, because you're using what is, fundamentally, cheating. If ZUN wanted to create EoSD with a visible hitbox, he would have done so. Just because you inane secondary faggots came along post-IN doesn't mean the game is going to conform to your standards.

>As I said, I don't use any additional lives myself. I just think that all this ''Maybe you'd like to delete your copy of EoSD and try again, without the fabricated bullshit hurr durr derp" autist crap is so hillarious...

I have no idea how you can possibly think using more initial lives than everybody else still qualifies you. A "valid" 1cc is not personally defined, it is completely defined by consensus. Literally worldwide, a 1cc is done using default settings. This is not "some faggots over the internet's opinion", it is literally everyone that isn't you. If you want to personally call it a 1cc as long as you don't actually throw in another credit, then by all means, but it has absolutely no validity in terms of the standard.

>>8668785
Dude, it is a relatively isolated opinion. Don't make this any worse by replying to an obviously crass post with equally crass bullshit like "autist" and "you're hilarious".

That being said, Youmu is on the mark. The EoSD Hitbox patch (although completely irrelevant to this situation) doesn't provide any significant advantage and is impossible to show in replays anyways. The only way you're going to even touch the subject is if someone starts saying they use it.

You shouldn't worry too much. I think of 5 lives as a good way to get your first 1CC, and then progressively work towards your "true" 3 lives 1CC. That's just another way to soften the learning curve, without having the (albeit only mental, since as that anon says it's like as if you did so) step of using a continue. Shouldn't be that big of a deal...

It does from a Lunatic player's perspective. All EoSD consists of is safespot abuse. And, while you say it's not possible to depict from replays, it actually is - much like people can tell if a person is playing below 60fps.

Do explain how. I think it should be impossible to distinguish between someone who knows where the hitbox is without looking and someone who sees it. At best you could perhaps tell when a novice probably is not using it.

>So, I'm trying to take down Nue, everything goes fine until green UFO and undefined darkness, have to ask, is there a gimmick to dodge/capture these two? for some reason I keep dying in danmaku I can't see coming.
>Using Sanae B
Yes. For Green UFO Invasion, SanaeB is pretty easy. You will want to go up slightly, then return down, remembering the height at which the lasers will appear around the green lasers, but not quite at the bottom of the screen. It's a unique kind of streaming. Killing some of the UFOs is also very useful.

Undefined Darkness is pretty hard with SanaeB, but it's still doable. Since SanaeB has an outward spread, you will want to time when she is going to move, and try to keep her high in the screen. You will generally want to stay far away from her, or at least stay in a position where it is easy to dodge. There's a few ways to do it, just practice.

Nue is a pretty easy boss in general, so just keep going and you will have her in no time.

This video should give you a visual example of what to do. Maybe you can learn from it.

I've never used reimu B so I guess that makes sense, I just tried marisa B, did before even making it to stage 6, and marisa A, made it to remilia's second to last spellcard(scarlet shot or whatever it is?) and then broke under the pressure and did twice in ~10 seconds. Reimu As are the easiest I think.

No-Bomb run of UFO Lunatic with ReimuB.
Ending with a few spare lives.

This run features a perfect Ichirin, Murasa, and Shou. It also has a lot of silly mistakes to keep you entertained. I had a lot of fun in this run, and it brought a lot of hope into me. A lot of the mistakes were very avoidable, or simply due to me being too aggressive with token collecting. I'm still going to try this with MarisaB, and I'm still going to do it with NBNUFO.

The moment of losing a NBNUFO run on LFS still haunts me, and I will overcome it. Wish me luck.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8676795
I've never found it that way at all. You don't need to "learn" any of her patterns to beat her aside from her second noncard, which you should be able to figure out almost instantly. In fact, I would argue that Youmu has some of the best dodge'em patterns in the game.

>>8676700
Misdirection is a simple trick card on all difficulties. Easy and Normal are different "tricks" than Hard and Lunatic, but it isn't bad at all. Normal you simply sidestep and don't move very much, while Lunatic is the same but sitting in a corner and doing circles.

>>8675798
While I agree with both you and Youmu to a degree, you shouldn't compare SA's bombing system to that of MoF's. While nearly the same system, they're quite noticeably different in balance and execution.

Still, I don't think they are too different. They are both only Extra midbosses and neither of them is too hard.

Just tried out TD and it seems harder then everyone makes it? I've 1cc eosd and IN on normal. Is it gimmicky or something? Honestly I prolly would have a done a lot better if I wasn't attracted like a magnet to all the bonus items at the top of the screen....damn bait.

I finally 1CC'd EoSD on Normal, today!
I'll mess around on Extra for a while, then I'll go to PCB.

I found it very hard as first. I tried to move up down and failed when the bullets spread. Now i know how to do streaming and moving left right is much easier to capture it.

What part are you having trouble with? I find EoSD a lot harder than TD, for sure.

Nah, he is kinda right.
I can easily clear normal EoSD for every char.
But TD I can barely clear for Reimu. And by 'clear normal TD', I mean 'see the extra ending'.

I've been stuck at that cat for the longest time but I've finally beat her and now I can't beat Okuu.

shoot her until she dies. Utsuho is the most straightforward stage 6 boss by a mile, especially when compared to her other SA buddies.

I know that feel. Double Black Death Butterfly and Cat's Walk are bad enough, Rin finishes me off.

Yes, I know I suck.

Not Miko?

Remilia and Kanako pretty easy on normal as well to be honest.

>>8695233
Maybe I'm trying too hard and should just chill when she shoots those huge balls at me.

>>8695214
Are there any charts for that for Okuu?

[Anonymous No.]

>>8695344

No idea, someone in here posted it when I was complaining about Orin on hard, where I personally find her a lot harder than Okuu

On normal I'd say they're both equally hard

[Anonymous No.]

Well I 1ccd a few games on normal. Tried to do EoSD on hard now...Haha ya right stage 5 is butt fucking impossible. Remilia is still really easy for whatever reason, only scarlet gensokyo gives me real trouble, as it should.

She is easy, her only hard spell imo is her last spell.

I just tried SA normal since I've never played it and got fucking destroyed at the sake oni. I simply can't do lasers, at all.

>>8695510
If you are reffering to "Fixed Stars", it's by far her easiest spell, it has a huge safespot in the middle on all difficulties from which you can just dodge the yellow things moving horizontally.

Then don't use it, damn. It is pretty hard if you do it normally.
But the hardest is pre-final SC (where there is two suns - below and above). I can only bomb through it.

The normal way to do it is to dodge it horizontally.
ZUN pretty much explicitly said as much in the comment for the card.
