Things that make you different from most Touhou players

[lmagus]

Actually EoSD is the only Windows game that you don't have a 6th stage on easy mode.

Oh....well anyway, if I actually manage to beat any of the touhous once, I'd like to say I beat it on something other than Easy

Or you could beat easy for practice and not count it and then keep trying to beat on normal ]

There's nothing wrong with playing on easy by the way. It's still a big challenge.

[N-Forza]

And yet Iku is one of your favourite characters.

Because Iku is just that awesome.

[wailofthebanshee]

And yet Iku is one of your favourite characters.

because you can't like the characters of the games you've never played.

[?q]

1. I prefer Flowering Night to Luna Dial.

SWR version, or PoFV version?

(Caution: There is only one correct answer to this question)

[Infy♫]

You're never gonna believe this.
I play touhou.

[CK Crash]

When I get disappointed by a ZUN game for not using an awesome idea, I don't while and complain.
I make it in Danmakufu.
*high fives the other Danmakufu nerds*

I find beating Extra/Phantasm easier than 1CCing on Hard or even Normal.

I wasn't disappointed by UFO's lack of space themed boss or PC-98 comeback. Subtle references were enough for me.

I don't like IN's danmaku, it uses too many familiars and has too many red/blue bullet patterns.

I think Koishi would have been the easiest Extra boss if she was in any other game than SA. Mostly because the shot types/bombs/life system sucks.

I dislike UFO Extra (stage portion), mostly because it requires actual dodging :V

[Matsuri]

1. I like the PC-98 games more than most of the Windows games
2. I routinely play other shooting games aside from Touhou (currently on a Psikyo shmup kick right now)
3. I really don't like Subterranean Animism, aside from Satori and Koishi and their theme songs.

[BoLaD]

Perfect Cherry Blossom is the easiest Touhou game.
I'm saying that because UFO rapes me on Hard, MoF rapes me on lunatic, I have more trouble 1cc'ing Imperishable Night than PCB, I can just barely 1cc EoSD and SA on hard...

[Affinity]

1. I think that Imperishable Night is the most polished and atmospheric out of any of the games.  The red-blue bullet patterns, as well as the music of all the stages which seem to tie in to each other, adds to a lot of consistency in the game, making it very aesthetically pleasing for me.  It's not my favorite, but I think it's ZUN's best in general.  Also, dialogue far supercedes any of the other games (esp. Marisa/Alice, Yuyukko/Youmu), adding character to villains. 

2. With the exception of UFO, I only use one shot-type and stick to it

3. I like Yukari's Evening Star in SWR and find it superior to the original.  Also, Suika's boss theme in IaMP is one of my favourite themes in all of touhou.  Lunar Dial also has its fair share of moments to make me like it more than Necrofantasia or U.N Owen was here etc.  tldr I have weird tastes.

4. I macrododge constantly during stages

5. I believe that starting a spellcard at the bottom of the screen and moving up near the end really quickly while shooting finishes the spellcard faster, and I will go to quite a lot of trouble to achieve that end.

LOL Doppler Effect amirite?
As soon as I learned that in physics class I started doing that too, it's really apparent in my UFO replays.

[Cadmas]

I never read or write fanfictions. I only read doujins when it comes to fan writing.
Why? Because I dislike reading text. I like pictures.

[Janus Cascade]

I am an expert at unintentionally succeeding.

Translation: I'm a space cadet who shouldn't have completed easy mode, yet can actually regularly complete normal on several games for whatever that's worth (which is a lot on a personal level). At least, regularly outside of whenever I decide that running into danmaku instead of pick-ups is a good idea. Also, focusing on avoiding danmaku tends to screw me up more than relying on my twitchy reflexes, since I tend to focus on what's coming a few seconds later than what's coming at me in less than a second.

I suck more at IN than almost every other Touhou game. Which admittedly probably the fault of never using Spell Card practice, but I think that I shouldn't be doing as horrible as I do even without it.

also also also, I think Lily White is the bestest character ever and I always let up and go "aww, how cute..." whenever I see her celebrate spring.

[OneSS]

1. I recreate Touhou spellcards on Fraxy.
2. I sometimes confuse manic shooters (less bullets, faster bullets) with danmaku shooters (more bullets, mostly slower)

[Nobu]

I can legally buy alcohol.

[Rikter]

I have never bothered to play PCB and I have no intentions to touch it for quite some time.

[Von Stein]

I can legally buy alcohol.

I am not 100% sure...but I think that is fairly common around here. на здоровье

[HakureiSM]

I'm different from most Touhou players in the sense that I COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY SUCK at it.
But since uh... the day before yesterday, when I joined this thing here, I got tremendously better.

welcome to the majority.

[Onozuka Nikuyokura]

Man, I'm glad I'm not alone with this.

1. SA was my first Touhou game and still the only that I can play semi-decently.
2. I believe the Alice x Marisa pairing can go die.
3. I use bombs to attack bosses regularly.

[Bias Bus]

-I think "Lunar Clock ~ Luna Dial" is the worst theme ZUN has ever composed

Agreed. It's a fucking headache.

U.N. Owen is overused and crap.

Yes.

Second. It's highly over-rated and not worth the hype it gets. The first time I head it I said to myself: "THIS is what everyone was raving about? Bullshit."

4. I RP Touhoes.

You too, huh?

1. I like the PC-98 games more than most of the Windows games

*Erebus' Seal of Approval*

2. I believe the Alice x Marisa pairing can go die.

Personally, I don't understand why it's gained so much credibility, yeah that cancerous tumor known as Marisa Stole thewhogivesafuck helped, but otherwise I see nothing worth else compelling about it. The whole pairing as stale as a bag of year old animal crackers and I'm not just saying this because I generally hate any and all pairings in Touhou fandumb and think shippers should go drown in Cocytus either...

Also

- I haven't played UFO, likewise for UNL
- I usually only open the Touhou games to go to the Music Room. At which point I'll have whatever song I'm in the mood for play while I do...whatever.
- I would kill a man and his entire family if I knew he had a Shinki plushie.
- Likewise, I'm a Shinkifag of the highest calibur.

[Nine West]

-I think "Lunar Clock ~ Luna Dial" is the worst theme ZUN has ever composed

Agreed. It's a fucking headache.

The TEoSD version is awesome. Again, I like that game's instrumentation, and since most people don't... :V

U.N. Owen is overused and crap.

Yes.

Second. It's highly over-rated and not worth the hype it gets. The first time I head it I said to myself: "THIS is what everyone was raving about? Bullshit."

Over-rated and over-used? Yes to both. But to be fair, I do like U.N. Owen, original or remixes.

2. I believe the Alice x Marisa pairing can go die.

MarisaXAlice is actually one of the few pairings in Touhou that I approve of.

- Likewise, I'm a Shinkifag of the highest calibur.

Go write a NSFW fanfic about her.

[Cadmas]

MarisaXAlice is actually one of the few pairings in Touhou that I approve of.

I like crack pairings a lot more than the standard ones.
I just like to see characters that have no business even being in the same room together.  KaguyaXUtsuho.

[Kanako Yasaka]

I don't think Slaves's art is anything special.


inb4banetc.

inb4beingbannedforsayinginb4ban

[Cabble]

I hate every final stage and extra stage boss with the exception of Ran and Yukari.

My favorite music is a pre-battle theme.

[Bias Bus]

Half way done with it actually. Along side the Chiyuri NSFW fic.

[HakureiSM]

I realized I'm a hell lot better than most people I've seen in many replays, and the sole reason as to why I can't finish any of the games is because at some point I always screw up and lose concentratrion and do stupid things like rushing to get a power-up when I'm maxed already and hitting something, or confusing a red bullet with a power-up and running STRAIGHT TO IT.
I'm pretty stupid sometimes, yeah. :V

[Slaves]

I don't think Slaves's art is anything special.

well that would be more of people around here rather than Touhou fans in general. i don't think very many people have seen my art outside of that thread Drake put on Poosh.

but yeah, it's fine. my art is something you have to get in order for it to be funny(at least i think)

[Mima-sama]

1. I adore ZUN's art. If it were better or of more contemporary quality it would ruin the charm for me.

2. I find the circle nine meme to be extremely annoying.

3. I do not think Yuka is particularly violent nor malicious compared to other characters.

[Kanako Yasaka]

I don't know if I've said this or not but Ultimate Truth is my second favorite song in PCB.

[Maryn]

1. I actually enjoy most of IOSYS music, while mostly a subjective thing when it comes to taste anyway.
2. I enjoy Flandre's theme.
3. I'm a big fan of SSG's 幻想科学　～ Doll's Phantom. 2nd phase of when fighting VIVIT.
4. I found Flandre a hell of a lot easier than any extra bosses to date.
5. EoSD is one of the few games I can make myself look like a seasoned touhou player, plus I can actually compete with people here on score runs(At least in normal).
6. I'm smitten with Orange.
7. I'm proud to own a touhou Dakimakura and not ashamed of showing it off( at least when seen in my room.)
8. ZUN's art is awesome.
9. I didn't mind the touhou Side Story anime(le gasp, the one with Reisen and what not).
10. I think Flandre isn't all that crazy as everyone makes her out to be.
