I apologize if this is a bad place to ask since it might be a bit too irrelevant for the thread but I couldn't think of a better place for my question:

I recently got into STGs a few months back and have fallen completely in love with them. However, I find myself from the beginning till present to, at times, becoming shaking with frustration. I thought it would pass as time went on and I got used to them but I still find myself raging like a spoiled child when things get too sour.

Does anyone else go through this? How do you deal with it, or is it just a personal issue of mine?

No other type of game can get me so frustrated, but on the plus side when I do really well or overcome something I've been attempting for awhile it feels near orgasmic.

Sorry again if this isn't the best place to ask or blogshit.

You have to become more accustomed to failure and a slow rate of progress. Unlike in jrpgs and other genres, personal improvement is neither regular nor monotonic in shmups. As a case study: say you're practicing some super difficult spellcard, which you capture about 20% of the time right now. You study it, learn how to deal with certain cases, whatever, and you internally feel like you've "learned" the card. Even with this learned feeling, you probably still only capture it maybe 70-80% of the time in spell practice, and even less in full runs. However, the failures stick out to you even more now, because internally you feel like you've learned it and should be capping it 100% of the time. I feel like you would be less prone to tantrums if you can realign your expectations for improvement. At least I've found that helpful personally.

Hi i don't know if this is the proper thread to ask this question, i downloaded this game a long while ago and finally got to play it, i had to run it with Applocale for it to display graphics (without it it was only black with random boxes), now the game works but displays most japanese text as gibberish, is it something i'm missing? i have japanese windows fonts and IME Installed

What's harder, Futari 1.01 ultra TLB Larsa or Inbachi? The latter was a bit disappointing, I mean, it looks hard on paper and I remember reading that "I hope it takes seven years to beat" statement from one of the devs, but it barely took one... in fact it was Larsa the one that took that long, but it seems much easier. I guess the difficult part is the rest of the game...

I have a question about MoF. So let's say I'm playing Marisa A and I have the little orbs arranged in a vertical line with Marisa at the bottom, like so. Marisa isn't close enough to do full damage, but the top orb is. Do the shots fired from the top orb get the extra damage from close range, or do I have to actually get close?

I think what we could all agree on is that Fairy Wars is the hardest game to 1cc on a blind playthrough.

Hey guys, I took 2nd place at TouhouCon's PoFV's tournament.

Any PoFV experts here? I could use some critique (I'm on the left side):
http://www.twitch..
tv/touhoucon/b/570889838?t=124m25s

I could never get PoFV netplay working, so I don't have much PoFV experience. I just used my Touhou skills and experience and was surprised at how far I got.

Anonymous Mon Sep 22 07:03:20 2014 No.12509508

>>12509276
To be blunt, it's a good thing for you that everyone else there also likely had no experience, and none of the entries seemed to play anything above Normal. The actual mechanics of PoFV was ignored throughout the tournament and everyone just focused on killing everything and dodging.

One thing is that you don't want to be holding shot. One of the primary parts of PoFV is chaining enemies: when you kill an enemy, the next in line takes damage, and chaining them like this gives extra spell points. You want to hit one enemy, chain the line, then hit another to get spell points up without dropping. Destroying enemies sends bullets to the opponent, and will cancel pellet bullets near the explosion, which are reflected back to the enemy.

At 100k, 300k, 500k spell points you send a boss attack to the other screen, as though you had used a Lv4. This is why in high-level play you'll never really see people charging to even Lv3. Boss attacks cancel out an existing boss attack, so you can get rid of the boss attacking you and counter with your own. After 500k nothing happens, so you then might want to stop shooting to drop the chain and restart getting spell points.

You use the scope to hit the blob spirits to convert them, and then you kill them to 1) fill charge gauge, 2) cancel nearby pellet bullets, and 3) send an EX attack to the other screen, like Marisa's verti-lasers or Medicine's poison. Additionally, when you use a charge attack over level 1, it cancels all bullets around you (not just pellets). If enemies are caught in the cancel wave they die, and those explosion can reflect bullets, though.

So the core play is basically that you actually want to get bullets all over the screen, then bounce these back and forth. If your opponents didn't know how to manipulate bullets like this, you would have probably destroyed them.

Anonymous Mon Sep 22 07:07:30 2014 No.12509520

>>12509508
Ah, another reason you don't want to be holding shot all the time is because killing spirits without converting them will send them to the opponent, giving them ammo. But you do want to be firing enough to kill converted spirits and starting fairy chains.

Yeah, watching the final match, the main reason you lost was because the other player knew he was supposed to convert then kill spirits. He got more gauge from it, so he could cancel more bullets and fire more attacks. He also seemed a bit more wary that you're supposed to chain the fairies.

Pretty sure I used my level 1 more than anyone else in the tournament, but mainly to kill bosses.

What's the fastest way to reach 100K, 300K, and 500K BP? Just chaining fairies and destroying spirits?

Is there any difference between a spirit that is destroyed after converted and a spirit that is destroyed from explosions.

Reaching those spell point values fast isn't always the best thing to do; especially against intermediate-ish players, you probably want to look at their spell points, and try to reach the landmarks right after they do so that you can cancel their bosses.

Superplayers fill up their level 2 gauges quickly because the gauge fills more quickly as you get more spell points, i.e. by not breaking the chain. Your games probably won't resemble a "level 2 spam" until you're at the level where you regularly max out your spell points, i.e. you see the "BONUS" pop-up when you reflect bullets.

First PCB Extra clear, I honestly should have done this months ago but I haven't seriously played this since I unlocked it, and when I unlocked it I was barely able to 1CC normal.
Everything after 'Shikigami's shot "Ultimate Buddhist"' was half blind, in that I had been playing pcb to pass time while waiting for someone to join an AoE game, and I was talking with another person who gave me brief information on the last couple spell cards.
I'll be honest, I think I played rather sloppy, getting hit and using bombs when I shouldn't have, and I should have cleared this and posted it months ago.

Like the Ran clear, I should have done this a while ago. I could have had an extra life at the end if I hadn't tried to capture Scarlet Meister, but I had plenty of lives and wanted to try.

Lives are given for not dying. They're thrown at you only if you already don't really need them. Trying to not die and bombing instead uses up power, meaning you're in danger longer. Meanwhile the game is fairly memo-heavy and has a more difficult Normal than other games, so it isn't kind to new players to begin with. You know this.

I just tried the "Suwako-chan Cubic" demo with my Oculus Rift DK2, and it's pretty fun. It's a pretty obvious touhou knockoff, but with the addition that you can dodge under stuff (you still move in 2D space).

The weird color distortion in the screenshot is from Oculus' chromatic aberration correction, it doesn't appear like that in-game.

I don't really recommend getting a DK2 unless you are an early adopter, it really, really needs a higher resolution panel. Even at 1080p you can clearly make out individual pixels as the field of view is so wide. Hopefully the consumer version has a 4k screen.

Anyway, it's pretty neat!

Do many players actually submit to Royalflare? Suppose I'm ranked something on their high scores, what's my realistic rank in the world? 10 times that? 20?

I've recently broken into 2-digit rank for SA Lunatic, and although it's not too important, I do sometimes wonder how much of an achievement that really is.

the non spells are easy, meaning you pretty much only need to bomb the spells. Beating each spells rewards like 0.7 power.

This means if you arrive at the boss with 4 power and bomb every spell once, you can no-miss that shit. Trust me, I'm completely shit at shmups and I lost only a single life at Lunatic Orin without even practicing her before.
>the game is fairly memo-heavy

Granted, the Normal mode IS more harder than other games, but only if you go with Yukari because her fight is so much harder than the rest. Pick, say, Alice or Aya and the 1cc is a fairly simple matter.

There are several high scoring runs not uploaded, especially for the older games, since the Japanese tend to both be secretive, and consider runs done with Vpatch not submittable to Royalflare due to the rule of "no outside tools".

That being said, there are a lot of Japanese/Chinese scores that would rank first not submitted, and a few Western ones.

For the important scores, look up http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/High_Scores, although it's not updated as commonly as it once used to be.

If you want a good comparison with how your score ranks amongst other Westerners, check out the submissions for that category on http://replays.gensokyo.org, but keep in mind that sometimes different nicknames are still the same person.

I never said it wasn't able to be trivialized in some manner, I was saying this is why people have trouble with it. If you're able to trivialize stuff when you know what you're doing, you aren't going to be the one saying it's hard; you might as well say the same about almost every other game. Claiming all the nonspells are easy misses the point too, since obviously not everyone thinks so.

It's not hard to do. You already have 66 cards total between Easy, Normal, and the Extra, plus Cirno and Letty's Hard cards, plus there are several really easy cards in the later hard stages that can be gotten through continue spam (ex.

Now I'm trying to get SA 1cc normal clears the past week. Cleared with Marisa/Alice easily, but haven't been able to clear Marisa/Patchy despite getting to the last spellcard multiple times. Just had a run though that was going great. Got through stages 1-4 without dying, and despite doing poorly on stage 5 still had 5 lives going into stage 6. Immediately I start spilling spaghetti though, and end up dying on the last spellcard again with just a tiny bit of life left.
