For the first time since 2016, I managed to make an addition to my chart by finally beating Yuyuko. That now makes two games cleared on Lunatic.

Well, it was really a train wreck, and I only cleared because my border management was pretty much on point in that run... But, I suppose I made good use of at least something in the game.

So, how hard is this game supposed to be compared to the others? It's been a year since I've started playing it, and I'm soon finally coming to the end with a Makai lunatic 1CC on minimum lives. But I can barely clear the Windows shmups on normal.

>> No.16485728

So lets say I git gud in the current game I'm playing, will my general skill carry over to the next game I play or will it be the same hell of re-learning again ?
Once I can get past Yuyuko's reflowering I'm thinking of starting MoF to break the sameness of just having played PCB for quite a while, that's why I'm asking.

Make sure to not graze the each section too long, or they'll be travelling so slowly your screen will get clogged up. Wait long enough for a safe gap to appear, and then stop grazing immediately, go through the gap, and repeat.

>but those were easy games compared to a Touhou stage 5 boss.
Eh. I mean as a whole Touhou is definitely harder than the games I played as a kid, but if you removed the flip aspects of Seija's cards they'd be something you'd find on a Stage 2 boss, maybe Stage 3. This of course only applies to the cards with flip aspects, the ones that don't have the flips are actually hard.


As to the discussion of "just bomb everything," I don't really have fun with that. I want to capture enough spellcards in a run to be able to look back and say "oh hey, I did pretty okay this time." It's why I mark the number of spellcards cleared in runs where said number is particularly high for me. I once did a run in SA where I captured every card in Stages 1-5 sans one of Orin's, I love looking at that run. I think this mentality is part of why my Sakuya-B run of DDC is so hard, though, I keep dying due to my reluctance to bomb, even if Sakuya-B's bomb is almost literally worthless due to its short invincibility frames and it doing zero damage.

I am in no way good or even decent, and this is a run I did in one take without bombing, as I forgot that I could bomb.

I think this shot type works fine. Only Q.E.D. is impacted due to inverse scaling with HP, which is just one spell card, and you can still bomb it.

Okay, but I flail so much there. There are a lot of false reads that I would just barely correct in time, general slow reaction on my part, decisions that look way suboptimal, and I failed a few easy inputs in calm situations (hence the deaths, all but the final one unrelated to the shot type).

Most people love DDC, who exactly? I can only think of one player who thinks DDC is good.

So lets see here, EoSD has one bad shot, ReimuA, she's bad compared to the other shots in every shape and form, both survival and score, and the homing doesn't even help on stages. Other shots are good.

At this point it's clear you're a survival player, so think about the good survival shots in DDC, there's ReimuA, SakuyaA and... oh, guess that was it. You could add MarisaB to the list if you want to, since she has a strong shot (but still forward focus which is a no-no for lunatic) and a bomb that gives you 30 free lives with no effort. Brilliant resource system.

Bad shots are ReimuB, no damage because the fucking options don't even hit. MarisaA has good damage but only up close, which doesn't even work very well in lunatic because the game bullies forward focus, high damage bomb atleast. SakuyaB doesn't even need to be explained. B shots also get Not-Benben who is even worse on loony.

Am I the only one in thinking homing shots being far stronger than forward focus is a bad thing? Guess so.

tl;dr DDC is amazing.

Pro-tip: Unlike the extra video that you watched to poorly judge this shottype, you actually need to know where to bomb in order to actuall get resources

SakuyaB and ReimeB are perfectly usable.

>Am I the only one in thinking homing shots being far stronger than forward focus is a bad thing?

ReimuA and SakuyaA are you not your typical homing shots, you actually need to get up close and personal and tap focus in order to deal actual damage.

Okay. I read the previous conversation a bit and I'm basically gathering that the other anon is saying that he doesn't like DDC, and to illustrate his point, he posts how easy it is to gain a lot of lives by stage 3 by pressing X whenever it looked lucrative to do so, which worked for him spectacularly.

Further up he talks about the uselessness of the available shot types, and again about the difficulty too easy and the game being easily routed into safety, both of which are things that are not to his liking.

It looks like you cannot easily convince him about the difficulty, because he has had a real experience with the game and cannot be convinced of bullshit. Neither can you change his opinion on the shot types for the same reasons.

He told you to post something of yours since he was exasperated with your arguing style, I suppose. You made it look like it was about showing off instead of finding out the truth. Or something. Didn't read into it too much.

Well, on the whole, I think it would be fair to say that the Western Touhou community has a proportionally large amount of, let's say people that are mentally unstable and/or have crude, oblivious manners that renders them misfits in real life. I'm not saying it has to be that way with everyone or even most people, but it's pretty common to run into this.

So it just tends to be like that pretty often, and it's hard to have level-headed discussion sometimes. All I can suggest is detaching yourself to consider more angles to the problem, e.g. analyse what the other party really IS saying, and shoot his arguments down with precision instead of "sperging" out and about about things that others don't directly understand.

Sakuya-B has great scoring potential, but if we're talking purely survival (and I think we are from context) Sakuya-B is irredeemable.

She has poor range.
She has poor damage.
Her bomb is short and also does zero damage.

There is nothing she excels at unless you're playing for score.

If DDC and LOLK are "too easy" why not just play them without exploiting the system to give yourself ridiculous amounts of lives? It's not like you have to play in the "optimal" way, technically the "optimal" way to complete a touhou game would be to just TAS it. Play in a way that makes the game as difficult as you want it to be, it's not as if the game forces you to have far too many lives. For example just try to beat it without bombing, or use the worse shot types.

Like, isn't surmounting a challenge and getting enjoyment out of it the entire point of playing touhou games (along with the lore stuff)? Why make things too easy for yourself and then complain as if that wasn't due to your own decision on how to play the game?

Marisa B doesn't deal enough damage or requires heavy positioning. Compare with any other shot and you'll see the difference. Fire formation is shit compared to Wind formation in terms of fire power but this one requires pro skills. Yellow is situational as fuck and Earth might as well not be there.
The only reason I play Marisa B is Water formation, but the bomb will usually not deal any damage on deathbombing because it's a fixed AoE.

ReimuC is definitely the most obnoxious Reimu shot to score with. Her bomb is the worst when it comes to bombgrazing (MarisaC is also hella bad at it), and bombgrazing is quite important for SA scoring. Her super speed isn't particularly helpful either (only really useful in TAS).

The shitty bomb and super speed aren't good, yeah. Her shot is also hard to control; it's like playing IN Youmu but without the damage. But there are some quirks to ReimuC's shot that make some parts of that particular stage easier though, like the two things I mentioned earlier and getting the Sanae 3 safespot. From my very limited experience of scorerunning SA Extra with ReimuA, one thing I always hated was trying to get the full 25 graze per wave while also hitting her with my base shot instead of only getting 15 or 20 graze. Then when I finally find the correct spot, I already lost several hundred graze from moving too much.

spiral nonspells are ok but koishi will almost always wall you at one point or another on one of the jellybean spirals, so you have no choice but to plant a bomb out of her way and lose potential graze (asl had to bomb both once in the reimuc wr)

reimuc can finish genetics the fastest, yeah

for sanae 3, i use a marker where you go in between the third and fourth last digits of the spell card point bonus from the top

if you're going for the asl route and bomb sanae 2, you want to cover the top left part of your hitbox with the bottom tip of f in "bonus failed"

getting the sweet spot can be pretty hard for reimua so i don't blame you, you do have a lot more leeway with reimuc and marisa

Oh, I stopped a long while ago due to frustration and gradual lack of interest. I think I got to Koishi maybe 3 times out of a couple hundred attempts that got to Nine Syllable Stabs and fucked up the first spiral on all of them.

Honestly, NSS grazing is probably the hardest thing to do in the entire stage.

>> No.16506126

From what I've seen and heard, most attempts at high-level SA Extra scoring don't get past Sanae. So I can imagine how frustrating it'd be.

>> No.16506186

>>16506126
It's not unique to extra, SA prioritizies getting as much graze as soon as possible, maingame tends to be ridiculous and then at some point on s5 it just turns into pure survival.

iirc being stuck on stage 1 for a few days isn't very uncommon.

There was a time when Gobou (the current WR holder for SA Lunatic) spent the vast majority of his attempts in Stage 1 and only a couple credits managed to make it to Stage 5.

Nice score, congrats! Shame you didnt like Reimu C, I found her one of the most fun shot types to use once I got the hang of her. Then again, I can see why she'd be more annoying on extra than in the main game.

More Extra stages.

>> No.16506515

LLS and MS, and TD unless you had some particularly strong reason to have skipped it.

You could also try and do some extra stages, I recommend Mokou since spell practice makes beating her a lot less tedious compared to other extra stage bosses.

If I managed to do Ran, it's only because I enjoyed the shit of both the stage AND the fight. Also, I got "lucky" (I guess) that I did a "perfect" resource management throughout 70% of the mode, which allowed me to clear the stage even though I had never made it further than Shikigami before that. Other Extra stages don't look that appealing to me.

>>16506515
I didn't really "skip" TD. I made it several times as far as the last spellcard but never managed to actually beat the game. Tried again yesterday at around 2-3 AM but the game somehow kicked my ass (was playing as Youmu). I guess I'll try PC98 as you said.

I wonder why I can't reach Stage 5 with NT in IN given that I did reach it with Yuyu only.
I feel like an idiot for just noticing this now and asking, but what the hell is that Rank you get after every stage?

How did you unlock Yuyuko solo, then?

>what the hell is that Rank you get after every stage?
I think the rank is solely based on whether or not you capture that stage's Last Spell.
If you do, you get rank 甲.
If you do not, you get rank 乙.
It means "First in rank" and "Second in rank", respectively.

Me again. I tilted and lost a good amount my lives to Seija, seriously she can go to hell, but I managed to have enough lives for Sukuna, which I didn't even need in the end, to 1cc this fucking game.
