Why.

Why. Every time I play this gay game I die on levels 1-4. Every time in my life, ever. I don't think there's been one time where I died because I deserved to, such as a spell being too hard for me. No, every time I ever died in this game is because of something retarded. This game is so fucking easy but I can't play it because I just die. I don't know how or why the fuck I die, I just do. I 1cc'd every Touhou game except this piece of shit, and I probably played this one the most.
Why the FUCK do I die.

Maybe you should deathbomb more

[ルミア !bZ18e8Xlq. No.]

Is this your first Touhou game?

[Anonymous No.]

I had this problem.

Quit getting cocky because it seems easy. Deathbomb more.

[Anonymous No.]

Hold shift for focused movements. Use bombs wisely.

This. It's only easy if you pay attention.

In that sense, it's one of the hardest touhous (for the ADD-ridden population of /jp/)

Yoshika's last card is ten times this.

[Kilgamayan !2BklmILFiE No.]

XD, more than any other game, encourages flailing around like a spaz at or near the top of the screen, due solely to the spirits gimmick. Everything is fueled by spirits (lives, bombs, the guage), so you can't just ignore them up there. And then some random fairy flies in from the side of screen and smacks right into you.

The game is a little bit like UFO in that playing it enough to plan out when you head up top, when you stay down, and when you fire off the trance early to double the life/bomb spirit bonuses goes a long way. With even just a little bit of planning, if you bombspam Yoshika's non-cards, the game offers little to no challenge before Stage 5.

I can't get past stage 4 on Normal without using a continue.

Sanae's ten desires? Or just anybody's?

[proREMIRIAt Elite Force Commander !rSDMROXTB. No.]

Try not to be such a glutton with the spirits.

[Anonymous No.]

Actually this was one of the most hardest ones in the beginning for me. But then I practiced SA for 2 days, and then I came to the conclusion that I would play an easier one to see if I could 1CC for the first time. And then I 1CC'd TD and I'm still happy as shit today.

Hey jackass

stop hovering to the top of the screen. You don't need those spirits.

Also don't bother trying to capture that one card in stage 3 where she reabsorbs the blue spirits, hitboxes are fucked up on those lasers.

[Anonymous No.]

SA was the game that treated me the same way TD is treating you now. You just have to focus very hard. Focus so hard on the screen and every little movement that you actually become tired after a while.
>>8939528
Also what he said. If it looks a little dangerous to run up top and get the spirits, don't bother. Only do it if you are certain you will make it back in one piece.

[Anonymous No.]

Not OP, but this is my first Touhou game. What character do you recommend playing for first timers? Also, any overall tips?

[Anonymous No.]

>>8939648
Well, I recommend playing with Reimu. If you're more confident in your abilities, go with Youmu, since she's very strong. Remember to be careful and always be watching out for tricky spellcards or even enemy patterns. Also, don't be afraid to lose a few purple or green spirits, unless you are sure about what you're doing. I would recommend using continues until you can't anymore, and then practice the spellcards that you had trouble. Then, you can try to 1CC the game if you think you're ready for it.

[Anonymous No.]

I usually die in most of my touhou playthroughs because I keep forgetting I have bombs.

As for TD, I can capture every spell card except for Seiga's due to the curving lasers. They always throw me off and always cost me several lives and/or a continue.

[Anonymous No.]

It feels good to be able to 1cc any Touhou any time i want.

[Anonymous No.]

OP here, I finally realized what the problem is; these guys summed it up for me.

The motherfucking spirits. I'm always at the top of the screen to collect them, even if my gauge is filled. And then a fairy or random bullet out of nowhere kills me.
Also level 1. This level 1 is the most rage-induce level ever. I died more times on level 1 of Ten Desires than any level ever in my life. Do you know why? It's because of those fairies. You know which ones I'm talking about. They're greenish and fly in from the sides and when they get to the middle, they shoot a few red bullets in all directions. Those things. Those things are responsible for 90% of my deaths in this entire game. They just BEGGING you to come closer to collect power or spirits. And once you do, one of those bullets is going to hit you.
I can't stop doing it though.

I don't like this game. I really, really want to like it but I can't.

Do what I do: kill every enemy that is coming on screen before charging up to get them.

You might not get the bigger spirits, and you might miss some life/bomb spirit all together, but at least you can get something.

[あかり !!MJ74UCz0WkC No.]

I wish Touhou games would go back to collecting bombs/lives every other level and picking up points would give you extra lives.

This a thousand times over.
Gimmicks are dumb.

'Cause you're old and slow.

So how in the world are you supposed to capture Yoshika's first spellcard? No matter how much I shoot her, I can't damage her. And when I destroy the spirits to the left and right of her, they just respawn and keep giving her health.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8944896

Get as close to her as you safely can when the card starts. Stream down, when you're at the bottom cut to one side, then in a few seconds return to under her as high as possible. Should be over by the time you reach the bottom again if you're at full power.

Thank you.

I think Ten Desires is the best Touhou game.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8939528
Okay listen up. Literally everyone I have talked to does not know how to handle that spell. I don't know if this works on anything above normal mode, but fucking ignore the spirits she absorbs. Seriously. If you have max power and just keep shooting her YOU WILL CAPTURE THIS SPELLCARD. Try it if you don't believe me. I've just 1cc'd the game with 3 characters in a row, and that's how I beat that spellcard.

[Anonymous No.]

Wasn't everyone on /jp/ running into the extra stage glitch within 20 hours of release?

How have you still not beaten this a almost a year later?

[Anonymous No.]

>>8946249
Heal by desire is harder than that spell.

[Anonymous No.]

1cced in my third try. I've only 1cced the other Touhous (and not all of them) after countless tries, and I'm not sure I could do it again. This was a joke though, even if I like the game a lot.
You're doing something wrong.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8946836
Yeah, I don't know why, but I find this game pretty easy too. I've been practicing Mamizou's spellcards for 3 days straight, and right now I'm able to reach her 8th spellcard. Of course I'm deathbombing and etc., but still, this is my first extra boss.

[Anonymous No.]

This game is definitely easy as hell, but I know what OP is talking about. The game is so easy that you become impatient and you're at the top of the screen most of the time for killing enemies, collecting power and points, and also spirits. And by being at the top of the screen, you're just asking for that random bullet or fairy to fly in from the side and kill you instantly. And although it's easy, this game is very stingy on lives. A few fuckups like that can actually prevent you from 1cc'ing if you're not careful. Most of the deaths from this game are cheap deaths that you don't deserve.

That being said, I really like Ten Desires. The boss themes are kinda iffy, but the stage themes are really great, the more I listen to them. And the characters are growing on me as well. ZUN hasn't lost his touch one bit; I just hope he stops making games with gimmicks.
