It was pretty rude of you to so bluntly dismiss me in your initial post, as you should be well aware of my existence, as the photo games are some of the rare Touhou games to have a "western" player at the top and in addition, I can't remember ever offending you so. In fact, the one conversation I recall ever having with you seemed pleasant enough. The only two points I'll accept are that I'm more known for GFW, which is likely true, and that I'm an elitist, which is depending on your definition possibly true. I've long since come to accept that I'm more geared towards elitism than the average player. However, you should think a bit about the implications behind these points. If you're saying that I'm an elitist and that means I'll never contribute or help anyone else, and that's why they shouldn't bother to ask, then that is wrong. It's pretty clear you haven't been around the same places I've been around because I'm very open about everything I know about the games I play, and I've actively helped... I would go so far as to say I've coached a few players. I've done numerous photo game streams and I openly answer questions and explain mechanics, tricks, subtleties, techniques and anything. To assume that someone who believes in elitism (which to me is the basis of the STG genre given that a higher score generally means a higher quality performance) is automatically out of the question since they would never help anyone or contribute is utterly ridiculous, and that's what I've been getting out of your first two posts. This seems like some kind of guilt by association thing, or possibly because I've long since disliked MoTK. You do realize that a Mod bluntly dismissing myself who has done a lot for the community isn't exactly going to make myself like MoTK any more than I do currently? I can assure you that I really dislike this place and how it's been run, always have, but that's my business and I'm not letting that get to my head when I evaluate others.
Now, as for the reality of my relationship with the photo games, I've put about twice as much time into them as GFW (About even efforts with all 3 games). So being more known for GFW is actually not something I've wanted, since I've worked hard on all 3 games, and nowadays I'm just focusing on Double Spoiler. As for the Touhou Wiki page, expecting any of the game pages to be very helpful on more than a cursory level is simply wrong to begin with, not just in the photo games. I'll give you that I'm not going to just create a Wiki page, because I've long since viewed the Touhou Wiki game pages to not even attempt to do some kind of decompile TAS tools thing to begin with, and I know I'm not the best person for extracting DATA, I don't have any tools to do this. Otherwise I'd have already looked into for example the base value of each kind of bullet, not just for others sakes, but for my own as well and try to find some exact data about how speed affects this value. Because I don't know, and I don't have the tools to find out, I can't help. However, you couldn't know what I'm able to do and not do, you just assumed that I'm not even going to bother even if I was able to with your strange reasoning, glossing over my existence no doubt out of a personal dislike of myself.
Touhou Replay Showcase is always disrupted by various things, every single stream. I may have uttered the occasional meme at some point or said something flippant, but what are you holding against me here for exactly...? Do you even know what's happened or what I've done? Is this just something you heard somewhere? If you ask me, the commentators themselves are disruptive and even incredibly hostile sometimes. There was one time where a few people got themsleves banned from TRS, but I wasn't and you'd have to be actively looking to be offended if you'd say I disrupted the stream that time. I've submitted quite a few photo game replays and with rough explanations of the scene. Noone's told me I'm doing anything wrong other than an exploding ZigZagWolf who has been by far the worst presence on TRS (I'm assuming he had a bad day that time) Absolutely tearing apart anyone who he deemed to have contributed to a small mess of the stream that day, including myself for unknown reasons. Compared to him or Sakurei, I'd say whatever remarks I may have made are very light and hardly disruptive. If I was really a problem then it doesn't seem like anyone really thinks so, for so far I've refrained from starting arguments in the stream chat, like about how more people should try to score for instance (more than 90% of runs submitted are survival runs)
Leaving that be, though, for I have faith you understand now that your initial thoughts and assumptions were somewhat illogical and that it is actually reasonable to get pure game related information out of me when asked, as for how the games works on a cursory level, are you sure the wiki doesn't explain that already, because that shouldn't be that hard to fix, particularly not with Shoot the Bullet which is more simplistic. It all depends on what kind of information someone is really after, I don't think anyone who wants to play for score is going to get a lot of help out of the wikipedia, regardless, but I'm certainly for any and all improvements in that area, it's nice to put your favorite games on the map. I've just assumed the Wikipedia usage to have declined in general and that scoreplayers have no need of it.
If you actually want exact and thorough data then you need a TASer because I'm not really able to provide enough meaningful information about STB or DS.
