>game over on DOJBL 1-3 boss

[Anonymous No.]

Just clarifying because there are some DOJ(BL) grinders in this thread :

http://archive.foolz.us/jp/thread/8576131/#8581947
This post is wrong.

Maximum bomb multiplier works like this :

Bonus score per frame = (Base bonus) * (Multiplier) * (Loop) / (4 - MaxLv)

Base bonus is always 770. Constant.
Multiplier is the x2, x3, x4, etc. depending on your shown multiplier bonus. Each bomb adds one as usual.
Loop is either 1 or 2, depends in which loop you are playing.
Max.LV is either 1,2, or 3. It starts at 1 at the stage you hit max multiplier bonus, incremented 1 for each stage you no-missed. It's actually works like this:

Lv 1 = Bonus per 3 frames
Lv 2 = Bonus per 2 frames
Lv 3 = Bonus per frame

but for the sake of simplicity, the formula is simplified.
For example :

No-miss, x3 multiplier bonus, MaxLv. 2, at the middle of stage 1-3, the score increase per frame is :

(770) * (3) * (1) / (4 - 2) = 1155

tl;dr : Don't die, don't bomb, see score goes up. Max bonus doesn't relate to maximum chain.

Any general (or specific) EoSD tips?

I've managed to 1cc PCB, IN, MoF and SA, but EoSD has just been a thorn in my side for a long time. Mostly stage 4 clip deaths and Patchouli+Sakuya's boss fights just drain my lives and bombs away.

I'm strongly inclined not to use any tools to help, like the hitbox patch, although I'm finding the hitboxes in EoSD a pain to guess.

>>8699947
Hitbox should be the last of your concerns in Touhou. Use the Vpatch, and as a general tip stay always at about 3/4 of the screen so you can stream bullets back if necessary. Patchouli spells are pretty simple and with sakuya you shouldn't have problem other than those green knives that have square hitbox.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8700050
Patchouli spells can often mess up previously perfect runs for me. I guess there's some method which I'm just not doing right, or well enough, but they're pretty challenging to say the least.
Sakuya's randomly directed green knives are a pain, especially when some get redirected back, those spells usually call for autobombs.
>>8700127
I hear that sometimes, although I found that clearing SA was a pretty standard difficulty compared to EoSD which is turning into a bit of a roadblock. It's likely a personal thing.
>>8700174
Yes, I practice and use ReimuB most. I suppose I've just gotta keep bashing my head into Patchouli until I've figured her spells.

I've been living in a hostel for the past week because my apartment got flooded/destroyed, taking with it all of my hard drives, light novels, and my desktop. The only thing that kept me sane while I worked graveyard shifts 6 days a week was my 10 year old laptop with EoSD on it.

The best I could do before I moved out was 1 CC Normal with hitbox patch and Master Sparking spells. Now, I can breeze through every single spell card on Hard with MarisaB (not even bombing, other than to collect massive amount of blues pre-Sakuya and pre-Remilia), without the hitbox patch because I don't have it on this laptop.

I'm really starting to like EoSD. There's no bullshit moments unless you're playing Lunatic, and dodging all of the shit in stage 5 makes you look like a champ to the untrained eye.

One-miss run starting stage 5.
Two deaths on Nazrin midboss.
Two deaths on fairies of doom.
Game over on double orbs.

This is pretty much a summary of every run I'm doing right now. I don't know what to do. Everything from Nazrin to Shou always annihilates me.

Apart from deaths stacking on stage 5, I would still say that this is a decent run. The death on Sinking Vortex was very avoidable, the second death on Nazrin midboss was on the leftover bullets after the spellcard was over. Everything after that was just splashed over from Nazrin midboss. If I can keep myself together through Nazrin, I should be able to reach Shou without too much trouble. Maybe I should practice stage 5?

It's good that you are enjoying yourself. I never liked these games quite as much as the main ones. I'm very picky, and having to constantly face a new spellcard didn't suit me. Some of the gimmicks I just didn't like, and they weren't very fun for me.They were fun in the sense that I liked the challenge, and I wanted to beat them, but they weren't actually "fun" when I was playing them. I also didn't like the controls. I never got used to them.

Well, I suppose... in some strange way, maybe some good did come out of this. I haven't gotten this far in months, so at least I know that I still have a chance to beat it.

Kanako is easy since she has throwaways (you can easily capture all her noncards, save her first which is the hardest pattern in the game.

8 10 and 13 are way too easy and you will learn to just bomb spam and trance through the whole game. I'd say try first 7 then 12 then 11 and then 6, then go with the others. I recommend 13 for the last to play since it's the worst .

Or you could just play them in order.

MoF Extra is not very gimmicky, which makes it easy. The bombing and ample resources also help. I beat it without dying the very run after I beat it the first time. That was with homing Reimu.

Hard stage with an easy boss. If you do the stage properly, which can be aided by the use of bombs, you will find Nue hard to fail if you tried.

Royal Flare, guy said it above: static, watch replay, learn. Annoying shit, I know.

Scarlet Netherworld: in fact, you best just stand still. Knives will fly past your side in vertical lines, while criss crossing stuff comes in diagonally. You only need to dodge the latter.
Thousand Needles... I usually bomb that, I admit. Fuck those EoSD knives.

Cranberry trap: blue bullets are aimed at you, purple bullets at the middle. Stay close to the middle to redirect the blue bullets. Get away through the bottom.

I was guilty of this same problem yesterday when I lost my UFO run. I had this problem far back, even when I was still trying to beat Normal mode. I think that it's just a part of Touhou. I think that the only way to remedy this is to practice. Eventually, what you are doing now might be easy to you. The fact that you can do well at all already signals that you are capable of committing your goals. Just keep at it, and you are sure to get it. Also, taking a break is no problem.

Can anyone help me? I'm sorta new to Touhou (started last month)
So far, I've found the later games unplayable.
I have 1cc PCB, IN, EoSD, TD on normal
1cc EoSD hard with reimuA and reimuB
cleared EoSD extra a few times, cleared IN extra no death once, and... that's it
I've been wanting to 1cc normal MoF and beat extra but I just can't do WoV, 3 of my runs I failed there. Any suggestions on shot types + strategies? Oh and can anyone explain to me at how many points is a life granted.

Oh right I forgot about that one, sorry. It's quite a bit easier if you have a character like Reimu/Sakuya A or Sakuya B. Because then you can just tap left now and again whenever something's going to hit you. You can still do that with other characters if you're able to dodge back the other way. Also, you're gonna love Double Black Death Butterfly.

It just consist of having a little of space control and know what went past you. Her nonspells are completely random and unpredictable (only her first 3, then they become directed barrages which means side steps).

I can get past all of the cards just fine. It's just that if I get past one of them I'll get hit by another. Then I'll get past the previous one I've died on but mess up on the one I've gotten past previously. Also, I never use bombs.

I'm too lazy to properly finish it, I'll just launch the game like once in a month die a couple of times and quit for another month.

I get way too shaky and excited when I'm on the last boss of a 1CC. I went into Toyosatomimi with 5 lives, and immediately I start feeling my pulse in my fingers. This should have been easy, but I made some really derp moves like running right into the bullets of Gouzoku Ranbu. Twice. I ended up losing my last life with just a sliver of healthbar left on Hoshifuru Shinreibyou. No 1CC for me, I should go play easymodo :(

>How do you keep your cool when it gets real, /jp/?
I practice. Once the goal is completed, there isn't much of a risk in failing it again. Just beating it once makes it twice as easy. Now that I'm better at dodging, I know how to control my nervousness better, but it still has the potential to mess me up. I still like the feeling I get from it.

Stage 5 did it again. The other death was on Kogasa. I blame the aftershock of silly deaths making me have more deaths. I just need to focus and not mess things up. I really need to find a reliable method for Nazrin's midboss spell. I often find myself dying there twice. It's the only thing left in the game that is really "hard" for me.

So, how widespread is the knowledge that sometimes the best way to get over a block is to take a time out?

So I'm a bad touhou player, but by sheer memorization I can complete EoSD and PCB normal with all characters/shot types. But for some bizarre reason I couldn't finish TD even on fucking easy mode.

So I forgot about touhou for a couple of months until yesterday, when on a whim I loaded TD again and had a go at it. To my mild surprise, I finished it (AT EASY MODO) with all girls. Mild surprise because I was stunned at how retardedly easy the last two bosses are. Tonight I'll be a man and try to finish it at normal mode (I'm going for the special endings).

Anyways, has something like this happened to someone else? obstacle -> gets crazy trying to overcome it -> failure -> forgets about it -> success.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8764659
The basics of dodging and streaming are all you need to get through most of this game.
Stage 1 is simple dodging. You can dodge Chen's green shot in Stage 2 by nudging a bit to the side after she's fired them. Alice's Benevolent French Dolls spell card has spots which're pretty safe, try to follow one of the red bullets which travel straight down, and move at the bottom of the screen to the side of its path, the other bullets should generally travel past and around you. Stage 4 is Streaming 101. Stage 5 has some streaming when the fairies shoot lines of blue bullets. Youmu's opening non-spell can be redirected if you go to the top right/left of the screen, then move down to the bottom below her once she's shot it. Yuyuko's Repository of Hirokawa has safespots for the blue-yellow butterflies in the middle, far left and far right of the screen whilst about 1/3 from the bottom of the screen. The shots after that are all aimed, so stream slowly and move to the neighbouring safespot for the next wave of blue-yellow.

Watch alot of replays. No death + bomb runs are useful to watch.
Always bomb if you feel threatened or uncertain if you'll be able to make a bullet pattern. If you want to become more confident at a particular one, then only practice that stage rather than doing whole runs.
Use SakuyaA, her shots are decently strong, and have great homing. She gets alot of bombs as well.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8764745
>Still no luck clearing SA normal. I don't want to bomb spam it like pretty much everyone tells me to.
Then practice until you can afford not to bomb. I think that you are better off waiting until you have cleared it at least once to try to improve on yourself. Trying to superplay from the start never works.
>I'm starting to do really stupid things like dying on stage 2 now. I should probably leave it for a while, but I don't know... it's taken me a while working up to Utsuho, and I don't want to return even worse than I am now.
You don't have to take a brake for a long time. Even if you take a break for a weak, it shouldn't take you more than a day to regain yourself and you will be fresh and ready. Otherwise, you can always work on a different goal.
>>8764750

>>8764761
>Watch alot of replays. No death + bomb runs are useful to watch.
Every replay has something to learn from. Scoring runs, failed runs, bare runs, and superplays all have something different to show.

>Sakuya
>decently strong
>great homing
She has a lot of bombs, which is good for bomb-spammers, but they are pitifully weak.
I would seriously recommend ReimuA for PCB. She's very decent all around, and has no real weaknesses.

I already cleared PCB, but I wasn't very happy with the clear. I seem to get a lot of "WTF just killed me?" moments in PCB.

I mostly bombed Yuyuko in that run because I had a good stage 5 run which I wasn't going to sacrifice for the pride of saving my bombs. Anyway, now I'm trying to get some of her spells done properly, and I've had no success at all against "Mortality -Dead Butterfly" (her second spell on normal, I believe). It looks like streaming, but something about the massive size and density of the bullets just makes me panic and mess up.

Actually, I got a lot of stuff done today. I can still feel myself improving. Getting to stage 5 used to be very rare, but I can easily do it in every run now. I am still a little haunted by loosing two NBNUFO runs on Byakuren's last card, but I'm not about to quit. I've been doing this for a pretty long time now, so I do want to finish this already. If I ever want to perfect the game, I had better be ready to pump out these runs industrially. At least I know that I'm getting somewhere. If it still takes me months to get this run, then so be it. I'm still ahead of schedule and having a lot of fun.

Well then if it isn't fun I'm having, it sure does feel good. I'm not leaving for a long time, so I might as well enjoy myself. This isn't any different than the 6 years I spent on Runescape, watching a little pixelated man run around and do silly things all day. Things like this are not new to me. That's just the way I'm built.

Yay! I just did my first zun 1cc! I beat MoF Normal with reimu b while drinking. If anyone wants the replay I can give it. I ended with no lives and no bombs left, pretty crazy.

[Anonymous No.]

I beat Ran earlier today but Phantasm didn't unlock because I needed to get sixty spell cards or some stupid shit.

another 1cc later my first attempt at Yukari stopped me dead at the next to last card. I'm too tired for an attempt to work now I guess I'll beat her ass tomorrow. Goodnight.

1cc'd Ten Desires on normal. It's the second Touhou game I've beaten, the other being IN. I still feel like a scrub, though, since I can't beat any of the harder ones.

Have you installed the vpatch?

If yes, it's possible to stay on the bottom and just shoot at her.. it's still fucking hard

If you don't have the vpatch don't even bother trying that

[Anonymous No.]

>>8773303
No, I did not.

What does the vpatch do?

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>>8773303
I don't think the vpatch matters for doing that on Maze of Love. It's not really reaction-based, mostly precision-based.

If you meant the hitbox patch, it's still pretty doable without that.

cuts down on input delay when the screen is saturated in bullets or visuals (the entirety of stage 6 in PCB and those fucking trees in the bg).

Rotate counter-clockwise, then clockwise. Never captured it myself though, always had to deathbomb.

>graze instead of PoC
>On Easy
I can barely use the Communications Gauge in anything other than Lunatic or Extra. There aren't enough bullets for me. I would focus more on bombing and planning than grazing.
>>8773079
It probably has something like bullet cancelling, but I don't know because I've never played that.
>>8773141
>I still feel like a scrub, though, since I can't beat any of the harder ones.
The fact that you are already starting to beat multiple games on Normal says a lot about you. You are doing fine.
>>8773291
I usually just stay at the bottom and dodge like that. I don't think it's very hard. Maybe watching some replays would help?

Oh, that picture isn't Samidare, it's from a development build of Tori-Tatsu 2. And no, there's nowhere to dodge in it. I'm pretty sure it was just the devs messing around and seeing how many bullets they could put onto the screen.

I always go either too slow and she gets me with those balls or too fast and run into one of the walls. I'm not sure how far away from her I should be also if I should be releasing focus or just keep it held down all the time.
And the guy is playing with Marisa so it's a lot easier, I play with Reimu.

[Anonymous No.]

I just 1cc'd MoF on Hard. I can't believe this, because I struggled with it for some time and only got it after I changed to a different shot type (which I at first rejected as a piece of crap), and then got it on the first try.

The only ex boss I haven't beaten yet is Mokou.

I hope she's the hardest of them all, it'd be a little underwhelming if she weren't at least as hard as my first or second EX clear Nue and Koishi.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8774678

Personally I thought she was rather easy

Because with Border Team the stage is just piss easy, the deathbombtiming of the Border Team is riddiculous and you can spell practice

She has the probably hardest nonspell, though, which is kinda..fun

[Youmu Konpaku !MyonHUTINA No.]

>it'd be a little underwhelming if she weren't at least as hard as... Koishi.
As hard as Koishi to clear for the first time?

Anon, I have some bad news for you...

[Anonymous No.]

>>8774678
It's funny that most people consider Mokou (or Ran) is the easiest EX boss because of spell practice (or border break).

[Anonymous No.]

>>8774678
>>8774723
She's overall easy, despite Fujiyama Volcano and Honest Man's Death

[Anonymous No.]

The Mokou spell which causes me the most trouble is... Hollow Giant Woo. Somehow, my captures are always "run around like on fire"

[Anonymous No.]

>>8776955

That's where spell practice comes in, just try to work out a pattern that works for you


And then play some other games and completely forget about it next time you play IN Extra.

Honest Man's Death is one of her easiest spells, though, once you get used to it.

Hardest Mokou spells are Fujiyama volcano and Imperishable shooting, also her nonspells are pretty hard at the end when there are like different circles exploding.

That's the hardest card so it's not too bad.
I have the record of 900 photos on Byakuren's last card (the one which you shoot the bullets turning into knives). It's even worse that it's also her last card in UFO and after 30 tries, i still can't capture it on Normal.

[Anonymous No.]

The only cool moment in this shit spellcard.

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

I just broke my own record for my longest sustained perfect run. It went from the fairy spam at the beginning of stage 5 to the first wave of Nazrin's midboss spellcard. I royally messed up Shou, but I think it was my computer's fault. I had awful jitters and lag spikes throughout this whole run, and I think they were responsible for my demise. My whole setup has been malfunctioning today, so I will certainly try to work on it tomorrow. I've been playing all day, but I think that I am done for now. I'll be taking it easy for the rest of the night.

Now resuming my try with some cheap arcade stick some time ago(pic a bit old but related).

well the arcade stick pretty bad from my memory (it had some sort of diagonal problem on the stick, and the buttons had some problem as well with the size) but it's sort of easier in term of control.
