How to get to grips with Touhou - general hints, tips and advice!
Kaze_Senshi:
Hey guys lemme ask a question, well I have the (bad?) habit of playing different Touhou games at the same time. For example yesterday I was training to beat Raiko and in the day before yesterday I was struggling to perfect Imperishable Night's 3rd stage. One problem of this habit is that I keep forgetting tricks that I learned some days ago. So do you guys have some kind of "model replay" that you are used to watch to refresh your brain about some bullet pattern or stage that you haven't played recently?
Drake:
I just play over and over. You could watch some of your own replays if you really actually forget what you do, I guess.
Oh:

What Drake said. Or focus on one category at a time until you meet your goal, makes learning a lot easier.
Tsym:
Ideally what you want is to focus on one game to the point where you have the muscle memory of the specific trick down to a high enough degree so that when you leave the game and then come back after a while, you only need to practice the stage a few times until it comes back. It's fine to switch between games, but if you're coming back to a game and have no recollection of how to do a certain segment after a few plays, then you need to practice it more in a concentrated fashion.
SirSlarty:
Speaking from someone who's only played for a few months: For me it took a lot of my own replay viewing and a lot of "just keep playing it" over and over again to get my first Normal 1CC on Ten Desires.
Before that I kept switching between games hoping that something maybe in another game somewhere else my skills would just click. Nope. Just keep playing the same thing until you got it. Much of these games are memorization.
