Title: Things that make you different from most Touhou players
Post by: BoLaD on August 10, 2009, 09:36:30 PM

As the title states, name a few opinons about Touhou that most people would disagree with. I'll start:

1. Why does everyone say Zun doesn't take the first 3 stages seriously? Once you play lunatic, the first 3 stages are actually pretty f***ing hard.
2. I find Hourai Jewel to be the most difficult final spellcard in the series. Harder than Resurrection Butterfly, Scarlet Gensokyo, and VotWG.
3. I find Imperishable Night on lunatic to be batshit insane compared to PCB on lunatic.
4. Aya's 15 second survival card isn't really that bad on hard. I can capture it consistently.
5. I never played the fighting games more than once, since I've never liked fighting games.
6. With the exception of EoSD, I don't find the stage 4s to be so bad. Even MoF's stage 4 isn't that hard. I never had a problem with the midboss (whatever her name is) and nothing in the Aya fight cannot be solved without a bomb. PCB gives you a crapload of lives, IN is very enjoyable-it isn't bullshit.
7. I hate Flandre and Koishi. I hate them so much that I don't even care for their extra stages. I like Mokou, Yukari and Suwako but Flandre and Koishi seem so boring.
8. What's so great about U.N.Owen was her?
9. I hate IOSYS with a passion.
10. My least favorite Touhou pairing is MarisaXAlice.
That's all I can think of for now. Post your own!

1. I'm a huge PC-98 nut, and in terms of easy listening I prefer PC-98 songs to Windows songs.

2. I HATE SA stage 4. Just despise the whole thing.

3. I think Highly Responsive to Prayers is a fun game.

4. I've beaten every non-fighting game in the series on lunatic, and as far as I know am one of only a handful of people outside Japan to have 1cc'd PoDD lunatic. That's special from what I hear.

5. I think Life Spring Infinity is a fair spell card.

Post by: Zengar Zombolt on August 10, 2009, 09:46:34 PM

Ok, let's see:
1)Every computer I have handy lags like crazy. Due to that, the amount of legitimate 1ccs I've done is horrendously low.
2)Eirin >>>> Kaguya.
3)I tend to try stuff way above my current level. You could say I'm a danmaku Masochist.
4)Most stage 4s are FUCK.

Using 'nut as a template, since half of it applies to me:

Quote

1. I'm a huge PC-98 nut, and in terms of easy listening I prefer PC-98 songs to Windows songs.

2. I'm part of a very small group of people who keep records for a bundle of Spell Cards. From this, I would also say that I'm one of the few people who actually pays great detail to them. _{Unfortunately, I don't keep a record of how to do stages themselves, like the others of this very small group.}

Quote

3. I think Highly Responsive to Prayers is a fun game.

4. I find EES to be quite fair. Mind you, I think the stage is garbage in the sense that it's quite impossible to perfect it.

4. Aya's 15 second survival card isn't really that bad on hard. I can capture it consistently.

You would be quite (un?)surprised at the difficulty jump for this Spell Card (equivalent) between Hard and Lunatic.

*I like Keine and don't think she's especially difficult outside Pseudo-History (where the difficulty comes from tapping the <- key just hard enough to go exactly three pixels).
*I like the Eirin fight.  I also like Brilliant Dragon Bullet.
*I don't think Momizi is complete luckgarbage.
*I like Koishi and her theme.  I dislike SA Stage 4, the Satori fight, and Yugi.
*I think all stages should be like PCB Stage 3.
*I like Yuyuko, but think Resurrection Butterfly is boring.
*I hate Flandre slightly more than I hate Necro-Fantasy and both arrangements of Charming Domination.
*Like BaitySM I do try to keep track of how spell cards "work" mechanically, although this is partly due to my pipe dream of going anywhere with DMF.
*The backgrounds keep distracting me from the game.  And it's not the backgrounds' fault; I just think UFO (in particular) is visually appealing.  Also, there's a cat hanging around Utsuho, and it's not Orin.
*I always play with score in mind.  I don't graze abuse, so I don't get phenomenal scores, but I get more points than most people who don't treat score runs as a religion.
*I play Shoot the Bullet.  And like it.
*I use the version of the EoSD graphics patch where you CAN'T see your hitbox... and I prefer it.  (If I have to micrododge in EoSD, something's probably wrong.)

1. I think Shoot the Bullet is overall the easiest and best game in the series
2. I don't like being able to see my hitbox
3. I am a huge PC-98 nut
4. I prefer Seihou to Touhou

Post by: Slowpoke on August 10, 2009, 10:30:31 PM

The main playable characters (Reimu, Marisa, Sakuya, Sanae) happen to be my favorites. Screw youkai.

I use an Xbox controller. Makes combos in SWR much easier. Oh...I didn't see that other thread. I guess other people do use one.

I almost prefer Seihou, but I'm even worse at it.

Title: Re: Things that make you different from most Touhou players
Post by: Azinth on August 10, 2009, 10:45:09 PM

1.  IMO, Orin is objectively the best boss fight that ZUN has ever designed.
2.  I think MoF is the worst Windows shooter in pretty much every concievable way except graphics and music.  Yes, that includes StB and PoFV.
3.  IN and EoSD are the only extra stages in all of Touhou that I really care about.
4.  The Seihou games are mostly equal in quality to the Touhou games (especially SG and BSR-c67).
5.  There are lots of popular themes that never did much for me.  Some examples include:  Necrofantasia, Reincarnation, Strawberry Crisis, Lunatic Princess, Wind God Girl, and, umm... extra stage themes in general (both stage and boss).
6.  I'm actually starting to find playing for score somewhat enjoyable.  Even though I still suck at it.
7.  I think Cirno is the easiest Windows stage 2 boss, while Mystia is one of the harder ones.
8.  After looking at it again, I don't think UFO stage 3 is all that badly designed.  Stage 2 still sux though.

1. I think Youmu's midboss spell on Hard is difficult.
2. I suck at Water & Wood Sign "Water Elf" on Normal.
3. I don't like Patchouli - her character, not her battle.
4. I have little to no trouble with Youmu's openers.
5. I think Koishi is the hardest Extra boss.
6. I hate non-Touhou shooters
7. I think the "Sakuya uses pads" meme is incredibly stupid
8. I have trouble finding a suitable way to play EoSD, MoF and SA
9. I don't like Rumia and Letty. They are waay too easy.
10. Eirin aside, i think Yuyuko is the worst final boss in the windows games.

Same for me, though the meme that really annoys me the most is the "Suppa Tenko" one. The whole "Aya is a whore" crap is close though.

- I try to do very hard and completely pointless challenges for no real reason and won't stop until I complete them, no matter how many times I ragequit I'll come back a few minutes later, but I barely have any patience while playing the game normally.
- Phantasm is easy for an extra stage.
- "Possessed by Phoenix" is harder than "Fujiyama Volcano"
- "Maze of Love" is fun to dodge normally.
- I don't think Cirno is an idiot. She's just very childish.
- I always use ReimuA no matter the situation on my first attempt, even if other shot types are much better for what I'm trying to do. The only exception up to now has been SoEW.

11: I like the Watatsuki's. It seems Mary Sue characters appeal to me more than most characters.
12: Kanako can make me look like a complete noob, despite how much I concentrate during her boss battle.
13: Touhou is the best video game series ever.

14: I perfer Zun's original music over remixed music. Then again I don't look for remixed music online much at all. I like G-Free Ultimate Dream (Greatest sound track ever) the Luna Dial remix by Ezel-Ash, Border of life by Nuetrel, and a few other strays but most of the touhou music that I listen to is original Zun work.

15: I've never played StB or PoFV.

Post by: Aisha on August 11, 2009, 01:58:37 AM

1) I hate the art in IaMP and SWR, and actually prefer and like ZUN's art.
2) I buy the games and books.   ;)
3) I don't give a damn about Touhou memes, doujins, and fan arranges.
4) I don't think Touhou is the best shmup series, but I find its charm to be quite appealing.
5) Save for a few tracks, I no longer like much of the music from EoSD, PCB, and IN, and would probably do something atrocious if I had to listen to U.N. Owen was her? or Necro-* one more time; I prefer the music from the newer games these days.

Once again, you and I seem very similar.
12. Doing VoWG always claim a life or two which makes me look so poor even though i know the spectators wouldn't be able to do it better.
13. Indeed it is.
14. ZUN's original music often is the better version to me as well. There are very few remixes that does it for me.
15. I have played it but i don't like PoFV. Because of its design. I don't like having dropped a Lily White pattern on top of *insert Komachi pattern here*

Post by: Nine West on August 11, 2009, 04:50:46 AM

1. I find ZUN's art to be quite decent, and in my opinion, PoFV PCB have the best overall art out of the current Windows games.
2. The main menu themes of the Windows games are among my favorite themes despite the fact that they are hardly recognized.
3. I find ZUN's trumpets to be enjoyable, not obnoxious.
4. I don't really like Touhou memes, but I don't hate them either.
5. I barely play any games outside of the RPG genre, with the exception of Touhou games.
6. I have never played any Touhou fanmade games.
7. I rarely have any trouble in stages one through five; stage sixes, however, are bomb-spamming parties for me.

I haven't actually played the games.  Frankly, though I'm interested in shoot-em-ups, I've never been any good at them--hand-eye coordination and reflexes aren't my strong points.

Instead I've watched the various world-record replays.  (I've only gotten up through IN, because I only got sucked into Touhou a couple of months ago.)  I've always loved watching kick-ass players.  For IaMP, it seems no one bothers with score-running, so I've watched some top-end tournament matches instead.

Oh, and I have used Cheat Engine to run through IN and IaMP...not to play them, but to screen-capture all the dialogue (and for IaMP, the endings).  I used replays to do the same for EoSD and PCB, before I figured out the Cheat Engine trick.  For EoSD, PCB, and IN, I got the endings by extracting the images and text from the data files.  Yes, I'm a compulsive nutjob.  I just like having easy access to that stuff.

For PC-98 stuff, so far I've stuck to watching YouTube replays and playing the music in Hoot.

Youmu is my favorite PoFV Character.
I'm patient enough to time out Flawless Nirvana but not patient enough to perfect lunatic stages.
I never was a huge fan of MoF or SA (besides music.)
I love The Fantastic Legend of Tohno.

3. When I hear music, I see rhytmic danmaku.

I haven't even tried a non-touhou shooter. At least, never a danmaku one. They look boring anyway (I'm not very fond of mechs).

The only one I've really played is Darius Twin, which I've only played because it was some random challenge on another forum.

Does "The Adventures of Dino Riki" count as a shooter? I kinda liked it because of it's very relaxed atmosphere.

I'd play more shooters if my comp could handle them. I have to run Shuusou Gyoku at 30 fps. =V

But apparently, I meet the system requirements of Samidare. Might try it, but after UFO comes out. I really should try running UFO at lower settings actually.

The best non-Touhou shooter ever is Castle Shikigami 2, but only the American version.  Go onto youtube if you don't know why, and prepare for enlightenment.

I think LCMS is horribly overrated and just not a very good theme.  I think Marisa's best theme is The Witches' Ball ~ Magus, and if we're not counting Seihou I have to go with her PoFV theme.  The other three (four if you count Dancing Witches, but then you really have to count Magus) are really not very good.

I actually own all three Shikigami no Shiro games localized.

The first one came over as... ugh... "Mobile Light Force 2".  And kept the cover of the original.  Which looks like Charlie's Angels.  Except it's not, and neither was the original (Can't remember which shmup got butchered to become MLF1).  But they literally cut out all dialogue - which sucks as 2 and 3 refer to events during 1 (I know at least one boss in 1 comes back for 3).

Of course, 2 was far better... but is also known for being as bad of a translation as Zero Wing.  I'm actually starting to make sense of it somewhat, but then "Slaves for Fashion Dislike Bulges".  Either way, need to play it more to unlock Free Play and then ride through the 2P Scenarios.

And then 3.  The Wii version is superior to the PC/Arcade in this case, partially because it was well-localized this time (Okay, script is still a bit... odd... but apparently it's supposed to be), and you can do a 2-Character story mode by yourself using Dynamic Change.  And having characters interact is lots of fun - from Fumiko trying to seduce Kohtaro... or Roger trying to win him over XD Plus there's stuff in the story you'll never find out with just one character.  But anyway, the danmaku's also pretty interesting here.

I'd actually say I enjoy Shikigami No Shiro almost on par with Touhou, but they're the only two Danmaku series that have personality, story, and character... that I've found, anyway.  And I'm a big RPG gamer at heart - I need my games to at least pretend to have that much.


As for what makes me different?  I usually prefer nonstandard characters - MarisaB in EoSD, SakuyaB in PCB, Sakuya/Remilia in IN, and MarisaB in SA.

1. I hate the majority of SA. Stage one is boring, Parsee (that is, her battle, not her character) is annoying, HAET stage 3, HAET Yuugi (her battle, once more. I love her character to death) and stage 4 is like a poor man's PCB stage 4. Its also the only Touhou game where I've restricted myself to easy mode- I can't do anything passed stage 3 on any higher level.

2. ZUN's art has always been grating to me.

3. I think Yukkuris are cute.

4. I prefer the ZUN original music to the remixes. Doesn't help that a good chunk of remixes and arrangements tend to stink.

5. I find ESoD harder than MoF.

6. UFO is well on its way to being my (new) most hated Touhou game if ZUN didn't balance it out.

7. As with Ruro, I'm tired of the typical depictions of certain characters in fanworks.

8. Tsundere Alice is overused in fan works.

9. I think Meiling needs more moments of badassness.

10. I also play non-Touhou shmups.

11. I like MoF, even if Aya is BS.

12. I'm quite sure I could play Touhou a good ten times better than I am now if I had a gamepad. I have slower reaction times in the shumps than I really should and the fighting games are borderline unplayable and its driving me absolutely positively crazy-go nucking futs.

13. I find Kogasa sexy.

"Ikaruga sucks b/c memorization asdfghasfh"

Hey, that just happens to be true. Ikaruga is mostly a memorizationfest at higher difficulties, if you want to pick an example of a good non-Touhou shmup pick DDP/DOJ or something. Anyway, on-topic:

1. Along with Donut and Baity, I've taken a great liking to HRtP and don't think it's a bad game.
2. I have very bad contrast sensitivity, and thus attacks that some people will find trivial like EX-Chen/Midboss Ran's noncard, or Hell's Tokamak become extremely difficult for me. This reaches absolutely stupid levels in UFO stage 2, where Kogasa's second noncard is basically a guaranteed autobomb for because I cannot see the bullets at all.
3. I extremely dislike playing for score, I find it one of the most boring things in the world.
4. I very much hate PCB Extra/Phantasm and any Extra stage post-IN. PCB Extra/Phantasm has a decent bossfight preceded by quite likely the worst stage portion in the series, and from MoF onwards ZUN seems to be designing the Extra stages the day before release while even more drunk than usual, or something. Which is how we get MoF Extra and SA Extra, both of which I find extremely boring.
5. One that I don't think is special, but that got a lot of "what" when I mentioned it in IRC: I vastly prefer Youkai Mountain ~ Mysterious Mountain to Wind God Girl...in fact I don't really like the latter song at all. (inb4 Kilgarage). My music tastes in general are a bit odd, my favourite songs are Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke and Suwa Foughten Field, while tied for last place is Hartmann and Lunatic Princess.
6. I also play non-Touhou shooters, but only vertical and danmaku in style...so mostly Cave and some other doujin shmups like Hellsinker, really.
7. I don't care for a good chunk of the fanon at all, have read very few touhou doujins, and think IOSYS should burn in everlasting hellfire for gross crimes against music.
8. I find Optical Camouflage Lunatic (Nitori Midboss) absolutely trivial, have a near-100% capture rate on it, and have absolutely no idea what everyone else is complaining about regarding it being a difficult attack.
9. Conversely, my history on micrododging messes such as Secretly Inherited Art of Danmaku is usually something like 1/20 or 1/40 or something. Prolonged micrododging in a very tight space is very much not my strong suit, or something that I actually like, for that matter.
10. Finally, I think VoWG Lunatic is the best spellcard pattern ZUN has ever created in the series.

Quote from: Azinth

1.  IMO, Orin is objectively the best boss fight that ZUN has ever designed.

This isn't all that uncommon, really, I know more than one person who holds this opinion. For that matter, this would be my opinion as well if Zombie Fairy didn't suck so damn much.

MoF is boring because it's WAY TOO SLOW, making you bomb just so the spellcards finally end. Especially in the Kanako fight, ugh. Even Mountain of Faith is total crap.

About IOSYS, I don't hate them, but that's probably because I get bored of most of their songs after 10 seconds, so I never really heard anything annoying enough to make me hate them. I listen to maybe 2 of their songs, but I love those songs.

5) Wind God Girl is tremendously overrated, and Mysterious Mountain is awesome.  It's the only good thing about MoF Stage 4.  Also, Reach for the Moon is ZUN's best track, but I absolutely love Hartmann's Youkai Girl, so...to each his own, I guess.
7) I only think IOSYS should break some limbs, but otherwise, yes.

5. I find ESoD harder than MoF.

EoSD is plagued by a ranking system that makes the game much harder whenever you do well. That makes any practice you might have done pretty much useless as some spellcards changes. An example being Remi's first spellcard on Normal mode. At high rank i was faced with a crapload of bullets moving fast and all over the place while a low rank version of the attack was very few bullets all moving very slow.

MoF or any other post EoSD game doesn't have rank though which makes the challenge more consistent which indeed is a good thing. It wouldn't be too nice if VoWG suddenly turned to lol garbage if you didn't mess up during the Kanako fight.

Also, notice how Gil died in his 25 spells lunatic EoSD run in Stage 4? I'm pretty sure he did that on purpose in order to lower the rank for the Patchouli battle so he would have a chance against certain Patchy spells.

1- Mima is my #1 favorite Touhou character. I've mentioned before, that I have a weakspot for intelligent people, and wizard ladies (have I said that I dislike how the wizard type is treated as a secondary type in most medieval fantasy games? I don't relate myself to a swordman's personality or point of view..), and she has a playful and straightforward personality. (besides me being protective towards magic users since I've learned of the Inquisitions and how I've supported the same people responsible for it)
2- I enjoy playing the Touhou games for survival, but as soon as I feel like I'm missing scoring opportunities (which happens when I'm learning the game, for example, in MoF, maintaining the Faith counter, or in SA, grazing as much as I can.. which isn't much :p), I feel like it's pointless to continue a playing run, and either restart the game or stop playing. Seriously, I can't try to play MoF for survival, I can't even ignore the very first wave of fairies and pretend that there's no Faith counter..

1) The only games that I truly enjoy in the series are PoFV, PoDD and StB. I've never really been a fan of the traditional shooting game which throws a huge mountain of memorization challenges at you. StB is an exception to this since its fast and furious, like a constant Boss Mode. Also, Sleepless Night of the Eastern Country! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luCVhX6aMZE&fmt=18)

2) I'm also disinterested in the Touhou fandom outside of the games and the Japanese culture in general. I like the games for their atmosphere, music and gameplay but whenever I attempt to spark a discussion about it with some other fans it often turns into a contest of who knows more Japanese words and other such little tidbits. I guess its true when they say that Touhou is a phenomenon beyond the games, heheh. :)

3) Perhaps not a thing to set me apart from other fans, but I also prefer ZUN's original music to the vast majority of remixes out there. The grand exception is this arrangement of  Casket of Stars by LoveMachine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGNRpv_or-w&fmt=18) which is what ultimately drove me into trying the Touhou games.

4) Finally, "qwerty" keyboard!  :)

Maybe you could try EoSD. Most of the spellcards are doable on a first run, and the others are random. If you play on Easy or Normal, there's not much memorization required in any of the Touhou shooters anyway (except maybe IN Normal).

I've actually given all of the official games a good try out before reaching this conclusion of mine. It's not that I find them too hard to play, I just don't find the gameplay as fun and amusing as the split-screeners.

I can also rarely bring myself to play any game on less than the hardest difficulty, like a sort of psychological complex, haha. :V Imagine myself, being completely green to the shooting game genre, going up against the PoFV Match Mode's Lunatic AI.

1. I don't like Mountain of Faith much aside from the music. I think Suwako is an uninteresting character, and I find Kanako a one-trick pony. I don't think VotWG is that impressive or interesting either, though it is difficult.
2. It took me a while to figure out where Zombie Reimu came from.
3. I find Youmu to be relatively easy compared to the Prismriver Sisters and even Alice on lunatic PCB
4. I find Alice to be far harder than Chen, and Chen relatively easy.
5. Yuyuko is easier than Prismrivers too.
6. Merlin Prismriver's first attack when playing Sakuya was always my archnemesis in PCB lunatic. That thing is harder than most spellcards, and takes more punishment.
7. I don't usually like playing for score. If I'm good enough at a difficulty level to be worried about scoring, I'd rather increase the difficulty instead. If I'm good enough to 1 cc lunatic and clear extra/lunatic, I usually switch games.
8. I like playing with 0 bombs a lot. It gives me the feeling that I can just focus on dodging, and not have to worry about dying with bombs left. Some of my best playing in regular runs has been with 0 bombs and nothing to lose. This is sadly mostly missing from SA and MoF due to the bomb system, though SA is still one of my favourite games.
9. I feel more relaxed when in practice mode though, and usually try to capture spellcards I would normally bomb.
10. I haven't read most endings in english. I have seen a lot of the endings, but didn't have translation patches back then. I've usually patched the games after I already stopped playing that game actively.
11. Most of my first 1 cc's had an incredibly stupid mistake in the first stages. Despite this, I tend to restart too often when I screw up early.
12. EosD is the second hardest of the games. MoF is the easiest (to 1 cc on different difficulties). This has a lot to do with game mechanics in both cases.
13. I have very little contact with the Touhou fandom, and get most of my impressions about the characters from the official games. I didn't know what Yukkuri is until a few days ago.
14. I couldn't figure out how to play UFO in full screen, so I changed my screen resolution to 1280x960 and played it in a window. Custom.exe has mysteriously stopped working in all of my Touhou games, even though it used to work just fine.
15. The X key is missing on my keyboard, so instead of bombing by pressing a button, I bomb by touching the surface under the button. I'm not sure if this is an advantage or a disadvantage, but I feel like it is the latter.

I like UFO. I'm willing to play any game, despite how obscure it may be. The UFO's were interesting, though it's gonna take a fuck-load of practice to get the timings down. Bullet patterns were nice, characters were nice (finally, all the characters are significant in the game now) music is nice and the only thing that stops this from being a perfect game is the fact that the animated bullets in stage 5 really fuck with my eyes.

Title: Re: Things that make you different from most Touhou players
Post by: LtC on August 18, 2009, 12:01:17 AM

1) I like MoF the best out of the games in the series, mostly because it's simple and fun to play for score.
2) I don't like StB at all and I think it's boring, frustrating and stupid
3) I've played the games for about a year now, 1cc'd all of them, cleared and I dont really even know or remember the names more than a couple characters in the games.
4) EoSD soundtrack and some other tracks in the games make my ears bleed. I also think ZUN's music is sub-par compared to other doujin shooter titles, including some one-man-job's like touhou is.
5) I think the fighting games are pretty horrible compared to the shooters
6) I play non-touhou shooters. Also I never stick to playing one game more than couple hours before playing something else.
7) I hate slow bullets (because I suck at dodging them)
8?) I don't care about the characters or story unless it's about making fun of them because the story and characters are just silly
9) I pretty much always play for score, although I dislike the scoring system in some of the games (which is why I barely play those games)
10) I don't understand why people complain about stuff like MoF st4 post-midboss barrages when you can just bomb it while benefitting your score and getting the power back almost instantly.
11) I think the games should have voice acting as long as there's an option to turn it off.
12) I can't play/consentrate without my headset on, doesn't even matter if there's sound or not.
13) Kioh Gyoku>>>PoFV

Might as well jump in somewhere...

1. I like watching two Lunatic CPU players duke it out on PoFV...even if neither of them lands a hit for hours.

2. I am aware of most of the fandom, memes, etc. etc. but have no strong feelings about them. (Since I have not seen a whole lot of apathetic reactions to the...always love, or hate. =p)

3. I play for the story. Good, silly, I have yet to make up my mind.

4. I do not prefer either PC-98 or Windows. I like all 16 official games.

5. I fail hard at these games. Even on stage 1 on easy mode with cheat engine...in all the games... (Even though I managed some 1ccing in SoEW and LLS) (May not be special, but eh.)

Post by: Dino_246 on August 18, 2009, 01:58:28 AM

1.  I actually don't like Touhou games as shooters that much so I never bother to do anything with them beyond beating hard mode and extra/phantasm.  I don't bother playing for score for that matter either.  The only exception was beating lunatic in IN because Marisa/Alice was a fun team to play.
2.  I don't play practice mode, if I want to practice a stage I'll try to reach it in the story mode.
3.  I probably ragequit 1.5x - 2x more times than the average person on a touhou game......not so much on arcade games.  I usually end up in the ballpark of a couple hundred runs of the first level before I can beat a game on hard mode. 
4.  I don't care too much for touhou fandom, but for some reason I'm a huge Kaguya nut. 
5.  I like Psikyo shooting games.....a lot....and I think they have the best and most enjoyable bullet patterns of all shooters

- MoF is *still* harder than EoSD. I've beaten EoSD Hard before I've even bothered trying to get through MoF Normal.

- I tend to love overlooked characters. Favorite include: Parsee, Ichirin, Shou, Prismrivers, Komachi, Chiyuri, Kanako, ...

- I hate, hate, hate playing as Marisa in any game. She's way too fast and I end up colliding with bullets at 50 mph.

- I think ZUN's art is nifty. It's kinda neat to watch how his art has developed over the years.

- I play on Normal when I could probably move on to Hard by now.

Well, after reading the game dialogue of UFO, it became clear to me that Sanae is pretty much just this brainless automaton who behaves in utter accordance with whoever is commanding her. She doesn't seem to have a personality of her own. I said this in another thread, but she reminds me of "that kid" in high school who'd be totally cool around you when it was just you and him, but the moment his jock friend shows up it's like he took asshole pills.

Marisa B grew on me. Her bomb is weak but she has a strong shotgun so long as you're on full power, and being able to shoot both upwards and downwards simultaneously is great if you're flying around the screen. Plus her game dialogue makes her out to be the closest to cool in the game.

As you can see, game dialogue actually influences who I choose to use in the game. Maybe you can add that to the list.

So to be different, let me come out and say I like the continue system. It's certainly not conductive to unlock stages for practice, but it does force you to get better at the stage, more than stage practice ever does. After all, what could possibly be better practice than spending over an hour on the same stage, desperately trying to pass it with only two deaths, knowing that if you quit you have to go through the hell you had to go through to get there all over again?

I have a Touhou directory in my Images partition. Within this Touhou directory I have subdirectories such as Wallpapers, Other Wallpapers, SSiB, Bloody Watch of Fate, Bad End, Inaba of the Moon and Inbaba of the Earth, and such. Random, unassigned images are just floating around in the general Touhou directory. I should create a new subdirectory for truly disturbing stuff, because I have this one mini-comic involving Cirno that is definitely not PG-13.

Unless it's in a specific group (i.e. Touhou Tarot), all of my pics organize themselves alphabetically as I name them things like Koishi3, Akis5, SDM9, and Yuyuko29 as I run across them.  Now and then I check for duplicates and reorganize them appropriately.

Which reminds me, I don't have all of i's SWR-style pics or any of the smirks.  No, I don't have a Pixiv account and don't need one.

Melody-wise, the PC-98 and Windows versions are nearly identical, but the PC-98 sound has this minimalist, nostalgic sound to it. No electro-trumpets.

But I love the PC-98 themes in general. They sound older than they are. Makes me miss my old Atari.

I remember reading somewhere ZUN talking about purposefully making the trumpet effects of his synth sound like they were coming from a synth. Which I think is awesome.

Also Atfynt is missing a number of songs from PC-98, as well as only having a select few from the fighting games.

As for my opinion, LCM>LCMS. Along with being overrated to hell (Maiden's Capriccio is better in every conceivable way), Master Spark tries to be more than it is: An updated version of a song that is 58 seconds long. The original song was short, but it was catchy. Master Spark does that thing that bugs me when people take an old school song and try to make it modern sounding, creating this dissonance between the instruments and the song itself. Dream Battle pulls it off by adding in a whole new section that is made of win.

You are right here.  I just saw all the HRtP stuff and went "seriously?".

I'll agree with LCMS being overrated, but LCM still loses IMO because it's a 58-second song that loops through a boss fight that lasts for over two minutes (which is at least 1:30 longer than it should given how utterly cheap SoEW Marisa is).

And Eastern Wind was the best Stage 1 theme before UFO came out, admit it.  It actually sounds like a theme fitting a loli trying not to get shelled by a tank.

Eastern Wind was, is, and probably always will be my least favorite stage 1 theme, due to how boring and monotone it is. Its one and only redeeming quality is that it is responsible for this:

I'm curious, is there a lot of Touhou fans who have folders dedicated to images, doujins, or Touhou-related (music doesn't count) stuff? The only Touhou-related folders that I have on my computer are the ones that contain the 'official' games.

I don't.

Here's how it works for me

Any Touhou pics (Usually SFW) -saved to> 'My Pictures' folder.
Any NSFW Touhou pics/doujins -saved to> Hentai Vault-Sigma folder (which contains ALL my porn)
Touhou games -> Dimensional Transfer Station-Beta folder -then saved to> Touhou Shit folder (Dimensional Transfer Station-Beta contains any and all games I have, most are Emulators/ROMs)
Touhou music -> MUGEN -then saved to> Sound folder

This method of saving isn't exclusive to Touhou shit either.

Did Flan's wings grow, or did she make them?
Does Yuyuko still have her feet because her body is sealed beneath the Saigyouji Ayakashi?
Can Suika feel with her horns? Does the sake in her gourd come in different flavors?
Can you swim across the Sanzu River?
Must Kanako and Suwako remain in the shrine?
If Yukari gaps into Satori's mind, does Satori hear her own thoughts?
Just random questions...

They were forcibly pinned on her 496 years ago for Christmas, and the rest is history.

Does Yuyuko still have her feet because her body is sealed beneath the Saigyouji Ayakashi?
She saw that they were fashionable after Mima got some feet first.

Can Suika feel with her horns?
That would depend on what you mean by "feel".  I'd say yes.

Does the sake in her gourd come in different flavors?
I think she can change its flavor by imagining it so.  Drunkenness lends to a very flexible reality.

Can you swim across the Sanzu River?
Aren't there supposed to be souls seeking to pull you under if you try it?

Must Kanako and Suwako remain in the shrine?
TH 12.3 seems to say no.

If Yukari gaps into Satori's mind, does Satori hear her own thoughts?
If she could, how could she tell?

In case I haven't demonstrated it already, I claim to have all the answers ;)

I've been playing Touhou for nearly 2 months and the reason I'm not better yet is because my wife hates the game and doesn't let me play when I'm home, so I can only play at work when I have some free time :P

MoF is my favourite game. It was my first as well, and it's the only game which I can reach the final boss in Hard Mode.

I used to listen to PCB and IN's soundtrack on my way to work, but after a while i got really bored with it.

I've broken 3 keyboards out of rage :P

I had a goal to finish a game on Hard when I reached the 2 months mark, but I doubt it's going to happen :(

1) I am eating a Klondike bar at this exact moment.
2) I really like MoF and SA. I've probably played those two far more than EoSD, PCB, IN, PoFV, and StB combined. Perhaps I like MoF and SA the most out of the Touhou games? I don't know.
3) It's taking me a while to think of things to write.
4) I've actually clicked the [more] button next to the smilies we can use in posts. How many of you knew that :yukkuri: was available?
5) At this moment, I have just finished that aforementioned Klondike bar.
6) I'm a nice guy. Even if I'm not a fan of a character, I stay positive. With that said, I really dislike the whole "X is a whore/slut" crap in the fanbase.
7) I am also a hypocrite. I have said that "X is a whore/slut" before.
8.) When I first learned of Touhou through a friend, he introduced me to the Touhou wiki. This was supposed to allow me to get a good feel of what I was getting myself into. Overwhelmed, I ended up not doing anything related to Touhou for another month or so, up until I finally decided to give PCB a shot.
9) I only ever played Easy and Normal to get 1ccs on them. Anytime I played touhou, it was Lunatic Practice stages. This was true a day into Touhou, this is true a year after. I pretty much entirely skipped Hard mode. This is true across all games.
10) I rage easily. Ragequits are rare. Very bad mix. I can go through hours of torture, and all for nothing. I always think "I'm really mad right now, so my game will be a bit off and I'll play worse... but... if I quit now, then there's no way I'll be able to do it because, well, durr, I won't be playing." At which point, no amount of lower lip biting and cursing can save me from the trap I've placed myself in.
11) I'm perfectly fine with Touhou "going mainstream," whether that be an official anime or whatever. I really couldn't care less.
12) Touhou really isn't that great. I have no idea why I've invested so many hours into it. I guess the fanon influenced some replay value, e.g. "haha oh wow that doujin was cute, heh, guess I should go play PCB now."
13) I'm starting to feel that some of this list strays from the topic, and rather, has me simply talking about "bjw facts."
14) Most people in this thread don't get to a 14th thing.

Actually, Byakuren's first spell card feels more like one of Yuyuko's nonspells should - except more painful.
Byakuren's second spell is too easy to be Yuyuko's~

-Yukari and Ran are, in my opinion, two of the easiest Extra(ish) bosses of the Windows series.
-despite playing for survival, I have a tendency to try to maximize score in the easier stages except in UFO, wherein stockpiling lives and bombs take priority.
-I think Nue is fun, but her stage can go to hell.
-Koishi is OMGWTF hard.
-Yuyuko is the best final boss in the Windows series. (well... MAYBE Utsuho...)
-Lasers = rape (seriously, lasers and I aren't good together. I can never dodge lots of them, but then strings of bullets with the same effect like in Miracle Fruit, I have no trouble with (Miracle Fruit is almost trivial to me)
-Wriggle is the easiest stage 1 boss (a topic here had many people voting Wriggle as the hardest)

1. I don't think U.N. Owen or Necrofantasia are crap.  They're good songs.
2. Although I have all Touhou danmakus on my computer, I've only played EoSD.
3. I play halfway between score and trying to just win.
4. I've never 1cced any Touhou game on any difficulty.
5. The only Touhou meme I have any knowledge of is the IOSYS Marisa Stole the Precious Thing.  And I'm sick of hearing it.
6. I hate playing as Reimu or any fairly slow character.  She's/They're too slow to pick up any items.
7. I've never reached Remilia on EoSD.
8. Whenever I play EoSD, the only bomb I ever end up using is on the beginning of Stage 2.
9. I swore for the longest time that the stage 4 midboss was Patchouli.
10. Probably off topic - EoSD stage 2 is easier than stage 1.
11. Although I've never played any other Touhou danmaku, I have all of their music and listen to it.  A lot.
12. Since I only recognize my favorite tunes by hearing them, my favorite song that I can think of right now is Sakuya's theme.
13. I died for the longest time to Cirno's opener.

1. Same

3. Same
4. I've 1cc'd a few games on easy, but not EoSD. I find EoSD really hard for some reason, I think it's due to the different movement speed of the characters.
5. There was a thread complaining about IOSYS, so you're not alone. There's plenty of other memes though.
6. Same, but in the newer games Reimu moves a bit faster, so it's a bit easier.
7. Same
8. I probably start bombing towards stage 3, although I don't really remember
9. Stage 4 was hard when I tried it, but I haven't played EoSD in a while :/
10. Not sure about that one
11. I listen to some remixes, but not too often.

I find the IOSYS memes slightly annoying, but they're so freaking catchy I can't stop listening to them.

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

Post by: Matsuri on August 29, 2009, 02:15:43 AM

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

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...

Title: Re: Things that make you different from most Touhou players
Post by: Affinity on August 29, 2009, 02:26:04 AM

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.

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.

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.

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...

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

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

I have another little contribution to my differences.

I've not really had the urge to play through EoSD until very recently; I got the game about... a year ago. I am different because I went for an entire year with "Touhou 6" without realizing that it wasn't even the full game, rather it was the demo.

I can't even begin to describe my confusion when it kept cutting me off after being Hong Meiling. On the upside, I'm extremely proficient at the first three levels of the game now :P

Well, it think it's because ZUN made up a name off the top of his head but didn't realize how to romanize it correctly. This is assuming it's supposed to be English-like and not based on some other language, like Flandre being a French name. But I don't know any languages that pronounce "ci" like "chi".

Post by: M. Burusu on September 20, 2009, 03:35:20 PM

Some bits of (I'm assuming) difference about me as a Touhou player.

1) I often get distracted while playing Touhou. By what? The danmaku. =_=

2) I often combine my hobbies, doing things like playing Touhou music while playing MapleStory (I almost never use their music these days), making YGO decklists based on characters' abilities or preferences, that YGO custom-card thread I had a long while back that I ended up letting die because I couldn't figure out which of the few Spell Cards Rumia had I should use (and, on top of that, what they would DO), and so forth.

3) My main weakness is Hong Meiling. Not in a "so moe I shall die" way, but in a "her danmaku eats up my lives" way. I can handle Patchy's spells somewhat OK, Cirno is easy (even on Normal) and Rumia's fun . . . but Meiling kills me like you wouldn't believe.

4) Alternately, I'm weak against STAGE 3 BOSSES in general. Keine kills me, Meiling kills me, ALICE KILLS ME (to date, I've never gotten past Alice), etc. etc. . . . Heck, it even passes over to games in other series (LOLTarvos in Quarantine, for example T_T).

5) My characters in Yellonde on MapleStory are all Touhou-based. A Reimu char (future Cleric HakureiMiko), Marisa char (future Ice/Lightning KirisameMari), and an Alice char (future Fire/Poison HouraiDoll). Add me if you want, I'm almost never on there but once I get my chars in Windia all up at or past 30 I'll be spending time in Yellonde.

I know! I wish I could find something that showed her shoes more. I'm not sure as to what they are... I have an Idea on what everything else is, but I don't have any pictures that include Orange's shoes in them... Though the sprite art makes them look like Reimu and Marisa's shoes in PCB.

Being my first post here, after a long consideration of joining here, this should be also counted as my introduction.

- I have registered here a week ago, and completely forgot about it after I did.
- I'm seeing some very few people going "oh no, not that fag" when I'll say that I'm Yosei Onmyoji from Poosh.

So after this nonsense, let's see:

1. I love most characters equally. However I don't know why the classics are loved more than the new characters.
2. After months of trying, I still can't 1cc SA Normal. During those months I've beaten PCB Phantasm and IN Extra, also UFO Normal.
3. I don't like how the fandom is too diverse, and why they can't agree on one interpretation of the world, what includes canon and those fanon ideas what goes well with canon.
4. I love the PC-98 games, but I suck at them.
5. I think ZUN's art is good. He's still better than me.
6. When I first seen Cirno, I called her Chirno. Also, japanese pronunciation is easier for me.
7. I think I can fully understand ZUN drunken rumblings in his works.
8. I want to be ZUN's successor.
9. I think PCB is not that great, and the spellcards are lacking.
10. I never play on harder modes than Normal.
11. I think memes are fun community things, but they shouldn't be viewed seriously.
12. I think Gensokyo really exist, and I want to devote my life finding the entrance. If I get a Life.
13. I hate curving lasers, but I LOVE to play with them in Danmakufu.
14. I somewhat like the bomb system in MoF and SA more than the original.
15. I can't play normally with any character other than Reimu.
16. The best stage in the series is SA's Stage Five.

Anyway, yoroshiku to all, and I hope I can fit in. (So, where is the Theory Thread?  ;D)

1. Most of my deaths are due to really stupid things. i.e Running up to the PoC after bombing and getting hit by a fairy/boss immediately after the bomb wears off.
2. I almost never bomb when I feel overwhelmed. Alternatively, I panicbomb a lot when I'm not really in any danger.
3. I like the ⑨ meme solely because I can reference Touhou in daily life without being asked questions. I don't like the whole "OLOL CIRNO IS BAKA LMAO" business, though. 
4. I used to hate Yukkuris, but now I'm starting to like them.
5. Even though I don't like most memes that the fanbase spews out, I can't help but think of them as "almost-canon" because I was exposed to them a lot when I was new.
6. I apparently like to challenge myself after 1CCing a game. I did a no-focus run, and played with a mouse (also tried route 6A for the first time) almost immediately after I 1CC'd IN Easy.
6.5. I played IN Normal while nearly blind. And almost won. This is what it looked like to me (http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/4173/th08blind.jpg).
7. I was introduced to Touhou by, not McRolled or CPMC, but a fairly obscure video that I found while playing Osu! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9NcQs6a_Pg).
8. I subconsciously avoided Touhou for over a year. The first time I can remember seeing it was when Cloud8745 posted some lunatic videos. I remember thinking "Ehh, this looks pretty boring. I don't like shmups." at the time. I also had 'Marisa Stole the Precious Thing' in my Osu! songlist, but never looked into it. Last, I saw a lot of 'U.N. Owen was ____' videos, but never watched any of them until after I had already found Touhou.

Aaaand that's all I can come up with right now.

Half and half for me. The first time I even heard of anything Touhou was when I was still a Megaman maniac, and a website mentioned MegaMari. Then there was MStPT, THEN an online friend told me about SWR. THAT'S when I started my addiction.

1) I remember how I first learned about Touhou.
2) Even though I'm a huge fan of Touhou, I only use some of its roots as a base for my own manga I hope to start sometime, even though one character is so similar to a certain ordinary magician it's barely a coincidence...

Lets see...

-Every game I play where I can, I will use laser Marisa. Even in games where there is no master spark, I use laser Marisa.
-In spite of the above, I first 1CC'd MoF with Marisa C since I refuse to abuse the Marisa B glitch and wasn't able to complete the game on a single credit without it.
-On the topic of MoF, I find Kanako one of the harder final bosses, seeing as how I found myself having to bomb most of her noncard attacks, as well as her spellcards. Same with Utsuho, though that might be due to her unusually high HP and the fact I use Marisa, which together means that resorting to bombspam is almost impossible against her.

Touhou is a tad strange choice because of my taste in games.

A few of my other favorite games for comparison:
-X3: Terran Conflict / X3: Reunion
-Operation Flashpoint / Arma / Arma 2
-Mechwarrior 3 and 4
-Falcon 4.0
-Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield
-Freespace 2

Needless to say, most of my friends don't expect me to even touch a game like Touhou unless they've seen me play it before.

And yet somehow I find Touhou very enjoyable, for reasons I have yet to figure out.

I have never heard of those games... I'm assuming they're FPS games?

I have never heard of those games... I'm assuming they're FPS games?

X3: Terran Conflict / X3: Reunion:
The X-series is a series of space combat and economic simulation games made by Egosoft. They're known for their freedom and sandbox style gameplay an infamous for their unforgivingly steep learning curve. They typically feature trading of goods across several systems in a supply and demand based economy as well as combat involving many different kinds of ships and weapons.

Operation Flashpoint / Arma / Arma 2:
Military simulation, or at least the best you'll get for a home computer.
Think Battlefield series but more realistic.
They're all made by Bohemia Interactive, who also make the Virtual Battlespace series of training simulators, which is used by many armed forces around the world to train soldiers.
They're sometimes criticized by some for being realistic to the point of being unfun, but I don't think so since Arma 2 is my multiplayer game of choice at the moment.

-Falcon 4.0:
In my opinion probably the best combat flight sim ever made. It's probably the closest you'll get to actually flying an F-16. I probably spent a couple weeks looking over basic tactics to play this game effectively. The 400+ page manual is a real pain to read, but worth it in my opinion.

-Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield:
In my opinion the last Rainbow Six game that was actually good. It's basically a tactical shooter like Operation Flashpoint and Arma, but focuses entirely on indoor combat, which has a completely different pace from the more outdoor, MOUT style action in Operation Flashpoint and Arma. Like those other tactical shooters, it's also sometimes criticized for being realistic to the point of not-fun, but I find it fantastic.

-Mechwarrior 3 and 4 and Freespace 2:
Mechwarrior is basically combat in mechs and Freespace is combat in space. They're not as steep as far as learning curve goes as the above games and not supposed to be realistic. Still, it doesn't mean they're easy to learn. Introduce them to a modern gamer who often has the attention span of a maggot and the first response tends to be "OH GOD WHAT DO ALL THESE BUTTONS DO?!!".  :V



Basically they're all games that are not very simple and all of them use at least 75% of the keyboard.

By sharp contrast Touhou can be picked up in five minutes, and uses about 8 keys.

A few more I thought up:
-I don't see any real resemblance between Nue and Flandre's themes. Yeah, the bridging part at the start sounds similar, but if we go by that then I could just as easily say Hinean Alien sounds like a remix of Nuclear Fusion.
-I can't use Sanae B in UFO very well. I know she does insane damage on paper, but that requires shotgunning while unfocused for optimal damage. I'm sure good players don't find that anything major, but its beyond my personal skill level. As such, I'm usually using Marisa A.
-As much as I do think Mima is an interesting character, I won't be broken up if she doesn't return. Same with Shinki (though I don't constantly run into people who constantly insist that she's going to be in the next game to the point where it gets scary, unlike with Mima).

Title: Re: Things that make you different from most Touhou players
Post by: PostCrisisJ2 on October 16, 2009, 08:13:08 AM

I tend to play Touhou off and on... don't really care much about getting a decent high score or worry much about which shot type is actually the best. My first legitimate [lol MoF MarisaB] normal 1cc was Lotus Land Story with ReimuA [I think], though I felt that was too easy. I have yet to 1cc any of the Windows games on normal.

My computer can play MoF with minimal slowdown, but SA and UFO I can't get running below 10% , and even then it starts chugging around all over the place which throws off my concentration [yay crappy computer]. Despite that, UFO is actually my favorite game so far in the series, though this maybe due to the fact that I have a strange obsession with UFOs.

Even with slowdown, I can't get pass stage 3 of SA on normal. I actually think slowdown makes the game harder somehow, though this doesn't apply to UFO for some reason.

For some reason, I feel nostalgic playing the PC-98 games. Speaking of which, I like the darker atmosphere that the PC-98 games seem to give out, but none of the characters outside of Mima and Genji stick out to me.

Due to the, erm, uniqueness of ZUNart [which I've grown to like somehow] I find rule 34 images of Touhou characters to be really strange.

Never played the fighting games because my computer sucks and can't even run them.

I think that people were jumping the gun in accusing the playable characters in UFO of racism [though SanaeA comes very close, though that was due to Kanako's influence more than anything really] and this is coming from someone who dabbles in racism studies often.

Don't know why, but the Kaguya as a NEET meme annoys me, as well as Meiling being abused by Sakuya.

I sort of like Buront, even though I should probably hate him. That one comic was pretty awesome.

3) I find Mokou to be the hardest Extra boss ever =/ (couldn't capture ANY of her spell cards. In fact I always die RIGHT before she runs out of health)
4) I like complicated but slow patterns. And colorful ones *cough*Stage 4 Powerful*cough*
5) Emotional Skyscraper ~ Cosmic Mind is the best Touhou boss theme for me :V
6) I detest NSFW pics of Touhou characters >=(
7) And yukkuris.

Post by: Azure Lazuline on October 16, 2009, 06:49:56 PM

Regarding Touhou:
1. I've never beaten an extra stage, but I like playing them anyway.
2. I seem to enjoy all the lesser-recognized songs, with my current favorite being Voyager 1969.
3. I like IN the most by far, partly due to the focus mechanics and partly due to spell practice mode.
4. I dislike most Touhou-related memes.
5. I dislike all NSFW pictures and stories, and there seem to be a lot of Touhou-related ones out there...
6. I like Touhou just for the gameplay, though the music and characters are a very nice addition.

Regarding me in general:
7. I love fluffy things, especially if they're small and/or pink.
8. I am of an undefined gender.
9. I enjoy hearing people's reactions to number 8.
10. Really though, I am.
11. I almost never use any text or picture smileys unless I'm extremely happy.
12. I love meeting new people as long as they act mature.
13. I can remix music well, but I can't compose to save my life.

That's everything that I can come up with off the top of my head. (Except small things like my favorite color, but anyone with a good vocabulary should be able to guess that anyway.)

Post by: Alfred F. Jones on October 16, 2009, 07:17:13 PM

1. I have a photographic memory. However, this does not extend to music. By and large, I am unable to identify a Touhou song (name, boss character, game, etc) whenever I hear it in a remix or video. Unless it's called Fate of Sixty Years, someone else has to point it out to me. (Sometimes this happens even if it's called Fate of Sixty Years!)

2. I find canon to be boring, and canonfags to be irritating.

3. I hate IN. I have no idea if I've mentioned this before, but even if I have, it deserves mentioning twice.

4. I just checked my earliest post in this thread. I hate IN. There, I've mentioned it twice.

5. I like Hartmann's Youkai Girl (the song, and the girl).

6. I find Shou's lasers to be absolutely trivial, yet fair.

7. I have several gigs' worth of Touhou pictures. Maybe around ten of those individual pictures are even close to the border of NSFW, and none of them breach it.

8. I have at least five Mima folders. Mima solo, Mima with Marisa, Mima with other characters, Mima with Shinki, and Other People cosplaying as Mima. And I'm not even terribly fond of Mima.

9. I have beaten a game playing it blindly for the first time. Granted, it was IN normal. (See item 3.)

10. I don't really like Nue, yet she's the only extra stage boss I've ever beaten/had the motivation to beat.

The first time I was exposed to Touhou was through PCB, as in, something Zun himself made.

5. I enjoy the versus games and StB, although that game has like zero replay value.
6. Hate SA stage 4 and Orin is overrated in difficulty, Ghost Wheels is micro-memorizable as far as I know. Every cat Orin encounter is FFFFFFFFFFFFF though.

As far as I know, if it takes away two bombs, it means you would have died anyway. You can still do normal deathbombs by timing it perfectly. Besides, the Last Spell (two-bomb) is more powerful anyway, so it usually wouldn't be a complete waste even if that's false.

Well, it's either two bombs or one death. I actually really like the system - it means that if you clip a bullet with a full bomb stock and are a little slow to react, you didn't just screw up your entire run.
To stay on topic, I think that things like that happen way too often and don't add difficulty, just frustration, and I think keeping your bomb level when you die would be a nice system. (Of course, there would have to be a lot more bomb powerups throughout the game.)

It also means that if you're good enough to be deathbombing in the other games, you'll be losing two bombs instead of one when you do the same in IN.

Also, you keep your bomb level in UFO when you die (unless it's less than 2).

1) I got into Touhou all because of the music and characters, actually
2) I have both known about and liked the series for a few months now, yet only started playing the games a few days ago
3) I suck, even on easy modes...at least so far
4) In spite of the above I can tell I already am hooked on the series

-I don't own/haven't played most Touhou games.
-I don't like SHMUPs, but like Touhou.
-I don't like anime or manga with exception to fan-made Touhou silliness.
-I think Hong Meiling, Yuugi Hoshiguma and Moku Fujiware are my favorite characters, in that order.
-I hate Marisa's personality.  Her characters playstyle/shottypes intrigue me at best.
-I had heard Mima's Reincarnation theme a full three years before I knew what Touhou was.
-I had heard Flandre's theme a full year before I knew what Touhou was.
-I had known what Touhou was and been playing for half a year before I realized the game from three and a half years prior was a Flash Remake of TH01.
-I do not think ZUN's art is phenominal, I think his music is relatively speaking simple and his game choice to be limited in depth, but the ability of one person to do all three at the level he can simply blows my mind.
-I think I like Yuugi more than Meiling, depending on my mood.  I dislike how Meiling is portrayed in Fanon and I think Yuugi needs more air-time.
-I am rambling at this point.

-I cannot remember a Touhou game's layout, level or patterns for the LIFE of me.  I will STILL continue to kill myself by rushing the PoC on EoSD Stage 4 right before the mass of books spawn.  I can never remember where the spokes are going to come out, and I have to relearn patterns on bosses each time I fight them.  Memorization comes slowly for me, very slowly.  All of my playing is based on reaction and I am too old for that to pay off.

It didn't end well, but I learned a lot from the experience. Still, there is the sneaking suspicion that she only got interested in the games because of her interest in me... I know she hasn't come to MotK in a very long time, and I sometimes wonder if she even plays them anymore.

Okay......
As proven from my post in the Touhou sort thread, Shingyoku is my #1 favorite character at the moment. Also stated by my titles of course~ I will be the Tubane that draws Shingyoku's male form hahaha. And I can make up stories featuring Shingyoku. And the male form will be my first thing to release as a cut-in set for Danmakufu.
Am I the only one that prefers pronouncing Cirno as kir-no?
I am not fond of pairings. I want to go with ShingyokuxReimu(no female form involved, seperation should do the trick) and MarisaxRinnosuke
Mountain of Faith is the first Touhou game I 1cced. But it may sound humiliating but I bomb a lot at Sanae.
I find Marisa as a slave during Imperishable Night.
I call Reisen: Udonge.
I think Sakuya, Patchy, Alice, Cirno, China, Yuyuko, Yukari are overrated but that doesn't mean I hate them 100% basher-style.
I like Reimu's EoSD personality.
I give attention to the underrated characters.

I may forget stuff so I would maybe post here when I remember.

This one is too common probably, but I'll mention it anyway. I am way too inconsistent at these games. Sometimes I can kick ass at them but then I try again and fail miserably.


1. I find Orin to be so much easier than Utsuho, at least on Normal since I haven't fought them on higher than that. It took me over 60 tries to beat Normal Utsuho counting all my continues, and I was never able to do it until I had enough lives stocked to 1cc the game. Even now I can't consistently beat her. I can consistently beat Orin most of the time.

2. I also like the PC-98 games.

3. I also like Shoot the Bullet, well when I'm not trying one of the BS spellcards, though I'm only up to level 7 on it.

4. I really dislike Reimu and the only reason I usually use her over Marisa is that Marisa or her teams do worse than Reimu does.

I'll edit this when I think of some more.

Post by: Esifex on November 17, 2009, 09:14:15 AM

I do not actually play the shooters unless I'm introducing someone else to Touhou - most of my 'touhou-time' is spent either reading doujin and listening to music, or playing SWR or 12.3 (I love Meiling's melee style versus everyone elses' potential danmaku-spam styles).

I like Alice because she's a puppetmaster, not because she's tsundere/yandere/whateverdere or bi for Marisa or WHATEVER. Fuggin' Shanghai and Hourai are equally favorite 'characters' for me just because they're puppets.

I'm sure if I met Komachi while she were resting, I'd just nod, thumbs-up, and move along, rather than berate her for slacking off - or joining her. Assuming I'm not a dead spirit.

I like reading up on all the different fan interpretations of the characters and the fanon backstories, just to see how much of it later gets ascended into canon.

The music is one of the primary things that got me hooked on Touhou, followed closely by the huge cast, followed by the crazy numerous doujin circles (Usually, anything by Happy Flame Time is always worth a chuckle or two regardless of how crappy my day has been). Remixes of the music are just about the only thing on my mp3 player, most all of it pulled from the 'Unplugged' playlists on YouTube (current favorite is the Metal version of Green Eyed Jealousy)

I don't see the hate for Aya as a character. Fighting her in SWR, however... that makes me RAEG.

I can seamlessly switch back and forth between keep-away tactics to up-close-and-personal fighting styles with Alice's basic spellcard deck in SWR and 12.3. I learned how because my friend pitched a bitch about me throwing dolls out and running off to let them fight instead of taking risks. He doesn't complain anymore.

I have never successfully beaten any of the shooters, of which I have only two - Imperishable Night and Perfect Cherry Blossom. Since my computer doesn't have the Japanese fonts installed, the one time I managed to burn all my bombs and continues on PCB I couldn't even see any of the kanji on the screen, so I just hit the bomb button to skip the sequence without even seeing the pictures.

While I'd love to learn Japanese for the sake of enjoying mostly Touhou (and some anime in the back), I've never actually gotten started on it.

I see Flandre and Remilia's relationship not as 'Older sister protecting the outside world from crazy younger sister' but rather 'overprotective sister protecting younger sister from world', thus leading to Flandre's naivety.

Sakuya hit puberty, not a pad ad. She's a human, remember, and breast sizes do occasionally make some changes.

I usually only keep track of the new characters from every other game. Not sure why this is.

Reimu is just very bored all the time and can't be motivated to get the momentum to get up and do anything when there's no actual threat, not a lazy poor shrine maiden hell-bent on making a quick buck.



Hur hur I bet no one else has anything like that </sarcasm>

I wanna see how I fare against the lot of you actual Touhou fans.


BTW, about not liking Marisa - I can see her as an acceptable main character, as she's allllllmost cliched enough to be a catch-all hero character that you could supposedly see yourself in. Otherwise she's not nearly as interesting as many of the other characters are - like Satori, for example.
However, I DO happen to like some of the arranges and remixes I've heard of Marisa's various themes (current favorite is the one from Seihou being 'modernized' to sound like a Touhou theme. Look it up; 'The Witches Ball ~ Magus')

Same over here. The only time I ever really leave the house is to go to school, and when I get home, I go up to my room and stay there for the rest of the day.

I really should go see my friend that lives down the street, but I know that I won't.

1. Like touhou characters almost exclusively based on the quality of their theme song or if i find a quality remix of it.

1.5: Despite having SA, i didn't find out about Orin until watching the yakiniku restaurant from hell.

1.7: Got to like the character from the piano arrangement of the iosys song

2. While somewhat typical I got into the series through a friend, not so typically the friend was just showing me some crazy videos of lunatic modes and then proceeding to mcroll me one afternoon. The catch: he wasn't actually in to the series at all, but slowly got me obsessed. Heixin, I still blame you.(in a happy sort of way, but still blame you) But thanks to that early wackiness you showed me I beat MoF this morning.

3. Prefer most fan arrangements to the original songs.

4. Cannot get past stage 2 in any touhou game besides PoFV and MoF.

5. PoFV game is screwy and will not play music...and crashes if I try to pause.

Heck that's the opposite of me...I panic bomb all the time and wonder where all my bombs went...

there's even replays where I use two bombs almost consecutively during a boss fight.

I'm trying to cut back on the bombing

And I'm horrible at bombing. I forget about bombs, die, and THEN hit x.

I can only bomb if something's about to come up that I know I hate.

In UFO, I can do stage 4 perfectly, but I can't go through stage two without using at least two lives and a bomb.

back on topic though...

does anyone else bomb recklessly?

Maybe these aren't very different but, I'll go ahead:

- Of the fewer people in my country (maybe even continent, that I know of) that seriously plays Touhou
- Got my brother into Touhou [- And shmups is not his type of games... at all]
- Sometimes when making original music, it ends up sounding like Touhou arranges
- I actually like ZUN's art style
- I play all of the Touhou games, no exception
- Particularly fond of the older games
- Also play other shmups, Seihou, Xevious and Galaga are a few examples
- Tend to not use my bombs often, prefer dodging as is
- In my year of playing Touhou, I never knew of the Shift button really. It resulted in a habit of fast playing on the edge [It was hard at first but, helped my improve quicker]
- I'm 20 and female
- Love adding Touhou references in my college projects and if anyone recognises it.. fufufu
- I've been told that I can cosplay Kaguya pretty easily
- Now that my hair has been cut, that's changed to Renko
- This is my life: Work, College, Online, Hobbies, LAN [Isn't it sad? T_T]

>> Will add more in due time~

1. I played the shooters just for the sake of it

Oh isn't this quite the thread to boast and brag in. Not really my style but let us try a post:

What makes me different from the most Touhou players? Well, obviously liking ZUN's stuff is not different. Many people seem to name these and similar things like ( I like this the most, or this the least ). Making one different is making one unique from the general group. Hmm hmmm hmmm. Quite hard.

You know, there isn't actually anything that makes me or other people in here different from most Touhou players. What is there different? I read back a few pages to see what people write but hardly any of them are different from most touhou players.

The only thing I can come up with is that I learned Touhou because of Hatsune Miku's special moves in MUGEN. But then again, it depends on how many people discovered Touhou this way. ( I haven't encountered anybody else yet ).

Title: Re: Things that make you different from most Touhou players
Post by: mew77 on December 09, 2009, 02:50:33 AM

Fans of a series are often in for similar reasons, so naturally this thread will have many similarities.

Meh I discovered touhou fairly typically when a friend of mine showed me a couple videos. This friend in question wasn't into the game at all, but somehow got me hooked.

I'll say it again.

I blame you Heixin..

-SA is the only game that I actually like everyone in the game, with UFO coming in second (only lost because of Shou, but also the fact that I don't like them as much as SA).
-Koishi is my favourite character and will always be mine.

- I really freaking hate Tewi. Obnoxious little bitch.

- I'm quite fond of canon Kaguya. Sure, she's still to blame for the mess Mokou's gotten in, but she isn't completely evil. Kaguya does seem sympathetic at times, and looks really cute. She even appeared to be quite friendly in some of the official stories/manga. She also has some of the most beautiful spellcards in te series. I really hope she and Mokou can learn to get along.

- On the other hand, I think fanon Kaguya can get buried a hundred feet under ground in an adamantium coffin with immortal scarabs eating her flesh every day. Seriously, in some of the doujins she appears in she acts like such a diabolic slut that I would just want to punch her in the face. In fan works she uses dirty tricks against Mokou and even gangs up on her with her entire squad of minions. She's also useless and pathetic, basically an infant that completely relies on Eirin. She goes way to far in some fan works against Mokou, and Mokou almost always comes out of it dead last. Seriously, why did fanon create such an awful being?

- I have no idea who would be best suited as a lover for Reimu or Marisa. All Reimu's choises don't really fit her (Yukari's more of teasing friend, Suika's more of a little sister and Remi's too posch for Reimu, and Sanae and Reimu have almost nothing in common except for occupation). And all Marisa's choises are all TOO much of a fit. They could all go well along with Marisa, but only one would be the winner, leaving the rest in loneliness. (Alice is almost canon and their tsundere relationship is adorable, Patchy needs someone to hang on to and they would make a lovable couple and Flandre needs someone to become a better person. Nitori has hardly any connection with Marisa tough and I don't really see them together). The very best choice I think would be Reimu x Marisa, since they've known each other for years, but then everyone else will be lonely.
