I think you're getting 1CC confused with something else.
1CC stands for One-Credit-Clear, not One-Life-Clear. If you're going for a 1CC, it's okay to die so long as you don't run out of lives and are forced to expend a continue.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9608476

[Anonymous No.]

So IN is supposed to be the easiest and UFO the most difficult, right? How about the other games?

[Exxel !Myon.xlUgo No.]

>>9608491
Didn't see that in time, I think we posted at the same time.
It took me about a month to get my first 1CC, which was PCB. After that i did TD in about 4 days, then MOF in 2 days. I'm working on EoSD for about 3 days now, and boy is it hard, but I feel good about it.

I would advise you to do PCB or MoF first, since they're both pretty non-invasive and forgiving with their gimmicks. EoSD doesn't have any gimmicks, but that doesn't help you out any.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9608502
UFO isn't the hardest, but it is the most gimmicky due to the UFO system. That thing throws off a lot of people and makes the game harder than it really is. SA is the genuinely hardest game.

TD is easier than IN. The reason people say IN is so easy is because border team is so strong. I think?

[Anonymous No.]

Why do people say TD is so easy? Just because you can skip a spellcard every so often with Trance mode? The danmaku itself is pretty hard compared to other games.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9608524
>TD is easier than IN

I'm going to have to disagree, I think TD, IN, PCB, and MoF all fall together in a pretty even difficulty level.
TD requires you to know where to trance to get optimal resources, and if you screw up and die you throw off your trancing rythm.
MoF has a pretty abusable bombing system, but stage 6 is pretty difficult.
IN has some strange spellcards that are hard to figure out without prior knowledge, also 2 bombs for deathbombing?
PCB is non-invasive and forgiving with the cherry borders, but the prismrivers are pretty unfair.

[Exxel !Myon.xlUgo No.]

>>9608535
Because once you know where to use trance, you can amass a lot of resources to where getting through the few crazy cards there are (looking at you Seiga), is pretty trivial.

[Anonymous No.]

Is IN really the easiest?

Patchouli/Sakuya seem way easier than Reimu/Marisa/Reisen.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9608544
TD is skimpy on resources. Even with proper trancing, you can't get anywhere near as many resources as UFO, PCB, IN. Plus if you accidentally die then your whole trancing pattern is messed up and you can't get as many resources.

[Anonymous No.]

Is EoSD generally considered harder because of the lack of a hitbox? I find it to be easier than PCB/IN

[Anonymous No.]

Double Spoiler is the hardest for me. Anyone else find it extremely difficult?

[Exxel !Myon.xlUgo No.]

>>9608556
You're right, it is really skimpy, but it's got a pretty weak selection of spell cards until Seiga, and even then she's only got a couple that are scary enough to warrant bombing. So you'll probably have enough bombs and lives to get through Futo and Miko.

But, opinions, I think EoSD is easier than PCB.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9607660

I don't even want to guess what the hitboxes for those are

[Anonymous No.]

>>9608552
Reisen and Reimu aren't really hard at all once you know what to do. Marisa on the other hand, is a rapefest.

Most people who say IN is the easiest say so because of the broken deathbombing system, and the fact that you can set the starting lives to 8...Also the Border team is overpowered.

>>9608565
I find EoSD to be easy too. I'm not sure why everyone thinks it's so comparatively hard, but it certainly isn't because of its lack of a hitbox.

[Anonymous No.]

just started playing touhu for the first time tonight.

I been around the doujinshiso much because of you /jp/ i figured i would give it a try.

im told 8 and 10 are safe bets to play. Started 8. question. how do i make it so i restart the level if i game over?
or is that not featured in 8?

pic related to the touhou's (its my favorite one)

[Anonymous No.]

>>9608535
TD is easy because the bullet patterns are so simple, slow and you have much more space to move. TD is the first touhou i can do a NBNT run. There is one time i 1cc it without realizing i was playing on 90 FPS because it felt like other games on 60 FPS.

the easiest of the PC98 extras

[Anonymous No.]

>>9608624
Everyone has really different opinions.

For basic clears, PCB and MoF extra give you a lot of rescources.
TD has relatively easy patterns, and so does EoSD, but the low rescources make management harder, and TD has trance usage to learn.
SA is quite easy once learned, since almost everything is static, but it takes a while to learn.
UFO has one of the easiest bosses, but the system can be hard at times and the stage might mess you up.
IN is quite easy too due to the deathbomb system and cheesing. Some patterns can be hard though, but you have spell practice.

[Anonymous No.]

Any one feel like they don't get much better despite multiple tries?

Yeah. I've just started SA Lunatic(haven't bothered to clear any games on Normal or Hard yet except for PCB.) Played for about three hours and saw no notable improvement except for the one luckshit run in which I make it past Stage 2... Only to die to the opening of Stage 3. Great. At least doing this will make Normal seem like nothing when I finally do come back to it.

This might be true on Normal, but UFO Hard/Lunatic are unrivaled in the Windows series.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9608524
People say IN is easy because you can crank your starting lives up to 7. Winning with default lives is pretty difficult though.

To clarify, more lives = more bombs for Shou and Byakuren.
>>9609826
Too bad I'm too socially awkward to own a mic and get nervous when people are watching me play.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9609938
Probably not but what difficulty are we talking about?
You'd need a ton of resources.
If you can get past the stage 6 without getting hit and with full lives, Byakuren has 4 non spells and 5 spell cards, so that's 9 bombs assuming you can hold out for a few seconds on your own before using a bomb.
And then of course there's the final spellcard which will take you 3 bombs at least, probably more.
And that's just stage 6.
My advice, learn to dodge bullets.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9610017
Uh, Lunatic. Shou's lasers are retarded, her spells are retarded and the only things I can capture from Byakuren are the first nonspell and Devil's Recitation. Hmm, so 6 lives. Fuck. The most I can get there with is 3.

Ten Desires is a shit game, both for scoring and survival. There is literally no point in playing it whatsoever. Seiga is a wuss, Miko is a sissy, Kyouko is a wimp. The only notable boss battle in that game had to have been Futo. But even then, that's pushing it. ZUN should have his video game making license revoked for this game.

I don't think so, the only way is to upgrade. I had the same problem in TD for awhile, using my shitty PC from 2000. It would lag like a bitch from trance and bombing. I just refrained from bombing or trancing. Just save up for a cheap desktop or netbook. Hell, I bet you could find a PC which could run TD at max FPS out of a garbage can.

It isn't nearly as effective, but you could always use Cheat Engine to speed up the game to the part which you struggle with, and then slow it down once you get to that part.

Only IN and TD have spell practice, and EoSD only gives you 3 lives per practice.

Ironically, that actually makes the practice stages harder than just playing through the levels and getting to the level you want, since you would often end up with more lives to expend with the latter.

I think it's fair to use savestates, as long as it's only on practice mode, and do your actual runs vanilla with default lives

The whole point of Stage Practice is to practice the non-trivial shit without having to go through four easy stages beforehand. On a blind run, you should be able to sight read the first three stages anyway, it's pointless to play through those stages. Four and up is where you're going to have any serious problems in an STG.

With those resources remaining, it looks like you did a good job. Also, remember that if you understand the damage output of your character, you should also be able to predict LFS. This is better when you use the same shot a lot. Since LFS is based on damage, you can memorize it as long as you do it the same way each time. As for how to capture it: I would recommend you try to stay in the lower center and go down to a side when faced with danger. I usually dodge it in a weaving pattern this way.

If you are stuck on anything, watch some of my replays or videos.

Hurrah. Just beat TD Extra on the new version. Too bad my score is worse than my clear on 1.00a, which is already bad enough.

>>9616065
The shots are aimed. No different than your normal streaming if you move slowly. Why not kill the fairies as they appear though? You won't be able to pick up all the drops or get graze, but I'm assuming you're trying to clear Extra.

Disregard that post, just saw your top score.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9616065
Haven't performed that in over a year, but I can try to recall how I went about learning it.

First wave I used the score/high score text on the side to line up. Don't remember which part of it, but it should be easy to catch on. You could draw a line where the people in the scoring runs sit, of course.

Next part with the safespotting may or may not sound like a shitty explanation, but just play it. It's not that strict or anything (but maybe you'll miss some graze), and after a few runs you'll get the hang of it. Yep, that's it.

Let's see, what came after that...oh, the timing part. Pay extra attention to the movements of the player in whatever successful replay you're trying to emulate. You shouldn't have to think about it so much later on, and later on you'll recognize the aimed bullets placing up at similar spots so you'll know you're on the right track (or about to fucking die) when you're moving up to the safespot level above the fairies. Take the time to save and watch the replay (or the recording if you're capturing it) when you think you should have pulled off the movement successfully but the aimed bullets still appeared in wonky spots.

Not much to say about the next wave. And that's the gist of it.

[Anonymous No.]

Fullscreen or windowed?

>>9616286

I mean to figure out on which level it sits on the side and then just do it since it's a relatively large ballpark. Not an actual line or a marker or a piece of string hanging down or across (totally didn't do that during SA stage four Easy).

Yeah, that's odd.
I just find the reds far more 'spammable' and fast than the blues, and therefore prefer them for STGs.
You did well to wear them out, aren't they rated for 50 million actuations or something?

[Anonymous No.]

>>9617161
It was a Razer Blackwidow, I think they are rated 50 million stroke, haven't seen the pamflet again. It lost its precision in every odd time, but it was still very good for other general purposes. Tapping the worn out keys will move the character to a slightly shorter distance than to good keys. That will fuck my play badly especially in Touhou where pixel perfect movement is very important in grazing.

Maybe buying a cheap brand of red switches keyboard have a hand in my disappointment too.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9617187

Strange that it would wear in that manner.
I always imagined when they wore out that the keys wouldn't activate from time to time, a bit like when you wear out a membrane keyboard.

In Australia you can get Filcos for about the same price as Blackwidows, etc., although that is a result of the inflated prices of other boards rather than cheaper Filcos.
Mine are both Filco because I may as well get those if they are the same price; haven't worn out the old blue one yet, but it always annoyed me in Touhou even when new.

Moedan is nothing more than a fun little waste of time. You move way too slowly in it. Stick to StB/DS and spell practice in IN. But really? Play any STG in whatever manner you please. You'll improve after putting a good amount of time into the genre. It's like a fighting game - once you learn one character, the rest become pretty easy to learn given some time to learn them.

On your first few runs, I'd even recommend credit feeding to learn the progression of the stages and layout of the enemies. And to unlock stage practice if available, of course.

If you want advice other than "cheat to win," you'll need to be a bit more specific. You can pick which sister you face during the second solo (shoot her during the first spellcard) and skip a wave of Youmu's first nonspells on stage 5 (fly above her during dialogue) if that helps.

200 Yojana: not very hard to very hard, bomb if you need to, abuse slowdown and learn bubble hitbox.
2nd nonspell: misdirect knives, dodge wave after knives through the pattern
karmic punishment: damage youmu as much as you dare and move to middle of the screen before or during slowdown and dodging should be easy
Delusion of Enlightment: just stream big bullets from left to right if you have homing shot, do some streaming and restreaming if not.

Do you legitimately think that there are no score players that enjoy what they do? I don't see any sign that he is dissatisfied with what he does. In fact, he seems quite enthusiastic. I don't think it would be easy to remain bored while properly stacking four shapes per second in order to beat a score, not to mention the amount of time that he actually plays. I would love to speak to this guy. We could probably exchange a lot of tricks; the same goes for all hardcore gaming communities.
>>9620466
I find a lot of her attacks to be rather gimmicky, so practice can go a long way in Yuyuko. You also tend to get a lot of resources during stage 6 in PCB, so being able to survive until the next extend is a priority, even if you have to be somewhat wasteful. You shouldn't need a lot of resources for Yuyuko if you know what to expect. Compared to the other games, I would say that PCB's stages 3 and 4 stick out as hard, with stage 6 being on the easier side.

If you want me to go deeper, you will have to either give me a replay or provide more detail about your problems.

That's really all there is to it along with having effective practice methods. Use and abuse stage practice and continues to practice what you have problems with to later use that knowledge in an actual 1cc/score run. Don't be stupid like me and play for score before being able to survive the game consistently. I did that with DoDonPachi and I ended up hating the genre for months. It helps a lot to LEARN the game before trying to score in it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9622018
I always play for score after my first few credit feed / screw around runs. Learning to survive first and score second just means you have to learn the game twice. If you learn to score, survival comes naturally.

Of course, you should be smart about your scoring strategies. You don't need to learn the really risky shit right away.

Assuming you're legitimately asking for it.

>How long can /jp/ play in one sitting until they start to become tired and make stupid mistakes?
I don't usually blame time for such things. I think that I can play all day without it affecting me.

For the second card: It's just streaming. On Normal with ReimuA, you should be able to go from left to right once without having to switch directions.
For her third card: Remember that the bubbles are aimed. I would try to stay in the center as much as possible. Practicing this spell and finding a route is useful. You can also do it by streaming around Yuyuko.
For her penultimate card: I would pay more attention to the butterfly bullets than the gem-shaped ones. You should look for the place where the gap is the biggest and gently leave it if it gets filled. You are going to be moving mostly horizontally.

Practice, watch replays, get comfy with your setup, and ask for advice on parts you are stuck on.

>Special thanks to Riz, you had to withstand all that venting rage and kept me playing even when felt like shit.
I knew you could do it.

I don't think she's that bad. Her first nonspell can be made easy if you know the trick, and getting used to perfect freeze is useful. Other than that, it's mostly random dodging. Being able to handle bullets is probably the most important thing with Cirno and most of EoSD.

I could ask you on IRC, but I want to figure the stuffs out by myself. Nevertheless it looks like some people want advice, so... why not give some? - Or was that the kind of thing you were against, pinpointing how to do hard stuff? Or maybe I understood something wrong - or you're not the person I'm thinking of.


Also, some day. Some day I will get my avenge.

The score is a shit and it will stay as one, but it's a start.

Also interested in the other post so I'll let him do it, but I'd like to speak up about Sumizome really quick. One, I hope you're not still shooting her after Repository ends since she takes full damage for a short period. Two, don't stay underneath her. I don't remember if shooting the fan is more cost-efficient (probably is), but the homing portion of Reimu's shots definitely are.

And of course, if you have to focus to move around then stop shooting.

Aww, I tried hard mode and floated on 0-1 extra lives until I wiped out on stage 4. Hahaha, it's like Guitar Hero difficulties all over again.

Anyone got an all-clear save of TD? I'll be needing that for future practice.

I usually get an hour or two before i start getting stupid silly mistakes like not knowing when to stop going left, and flying into a bullet straight to my side or even trying to pick up blue bullets thinking they're points

Captain. FREAKING. MURASA!!!
good god. UFO in my opinion is the hardest. I can barely get to her last spell card, Ive only beaten her once and ive never beaten stage 5. Ive cleared two touhou games but this is too freaking difficult. Murasa just slaps my shit and pummels me into the ground. Please help me out here.
