That's exactly what I was doing.
And it also turns out that both times I was wrong. This is why I REALLY can't have nice things!

And in another instance of ZUN doing his homework and possibly wanting to reference something:
"According to the backstory of Night Warriors, Hsien-Ko was born around the 1730s with a twin named Mei-Ling. During this time, ghosts and spirits of the dead arose from their resting places and attacked a rural Chinese village. [snip]
This turned the twins into a jiāngshī (僵屍 "stiff corpse"), a type of Chinese zombie."
The origin in question is apparently the story for Hsien-Ko from Capcom's Darkstalkers.

Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
So after my horrible defeat at the hands of Seraphian, we played a couple more fun matches.
First match, he told me he would show me how to play Sakuya. I picked Yukari to face him. I wish I had used Yukari earlier after what happened :smallamused:
So then the second match he wanted it to be Sakuya vs Sakuya.
I liked the outcome again :smallbiggrin:
Recorded both matches and uploaded them here, with an appropriate version of Luna Dial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObxI_mhRS50

1. How do you get those replays on to Youtube?
2. Let me show you how to play Yukari some time :smalltongue:
By which I mean some neat moves you overlooked, not general playstyle.
I often use Yukari to train people, though. You've been warned.

1) Get the full version of Fraps
2) Set game to not play music, play Replay, record with Fraps
3) Open files in Windows Movie Maker
4) Add Music
5) Publish -> For Computer
6) Upload resulting file to Youtube

Sure! I need to spend some time reading the Wiki and messing with my spellcard decks anyways. I am still running default spellcard decks on everyone.

"Train" in the sense of "improve the opponent's abilities and technique through practice", or in the sense of "hit the opponent with several tons of high-velocity metal"? With any other character I would know the answer, but with Yukari you never know...

I remember coming across a tidbit of Hsien-Ko's backstory before, isn't her sister Mei-Ling now the ofuda charm on her head? Something like she's the mind(or spirit, I can't remember), and Hsien-Ko is the body?
Anyway, I think this may be the first Touhou/Madoka crossover involving the new characters. Some artists work pretty fast. /(◕‿‿◕)\
Also, relevant to previous discussions comparing Meiling and Yoshika, and Yuyuko and Yoshika.((Note: Miscast_Mage will not be held responsible for loss of time, sanity, and/or purity as a result of searching for safebooru/danbooru(the last link, due to translation notes) or any works located within it))
And is it just me, or is anyone else hoping to see TD's final/ex boss as some sort of necromancer? Hell, even more undead characters that aren't ghosts would be nice...Hmm, a skeleton might be a bit hard to do, a zombie would be rudundant with a Jiang-shi, vampires have already been done... Huh. I can't actually think of any non-ghosty undead to be included. o_O

Congratulations, you got it.
Basically, several people have asked me for Hisoutensoku training since I started using Tunngle. This is what happened to all of them.
All the training they'll ever need.

And chances are it is someone we totally don't know. I still hope for Mima as the final boss and Kasen as the ex-boss, though.

I asked earlier who's considering the possibility of it being Mima-er, whoops. Sorry. *Ahem* MIMAAAAAA~ Hmm... Mima as a phantasm boss? We still get a new final and ex boss, but we also bring back Mima. But then we encroach on Yukari's title as the phantasm boss of the series... hmph.
Kasen would be a nice surprise too, but I honestly have no idea about her to make a judgement here(her ability "is a secret", apparantly? That seems more like it'll come up in Wild and Horned Hermit as a deus ex machina or something along those lines).
Personally, I think I'd like a new character all-together, because Touhou can never have enough characters. Also still hoping for a necromancer-loli of some sort here. >_>
Also, is anyone else curious if ZUN is going to do anything clever with the fact that this is Touhou 13? I wouldn't normally ask, but it's the number 13, which carries some connotations with it. Look at what he did with 8: turn it in it's side, and you get infinity. The Imperishable, or infinite Night. Add in that the final/ex bosses are immortal, or infinite in life. Also consider the similarities between eight and night, and not just in english; I remember either someone commenting or a doujin about how similiar eight and night are in a lot of languages.

That wasn't a doujin, that was Rinnosuke. :smalltongue:
Not mentioned, of course, is that Yukari was the 8th boss of the 8th game to contain Touhou characters, and the only 8th boss at that. Also if there are seven colours in a rainbow there are eight boundaries between them.

Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
Hmmm, did you include Seihou to reach that number, Prime? Because PCB is the seventh Touhou game in order of release. IaMP was the eighth and IN was the ninth, though due to odd numbering IaMP is numbered 7.5 and IN 8.

Has anyone else come across a remix of a song you didn't like that just blew you away before?
If anyone is curious as to what the stage is...
Spoiler
Show
Music has been coming from an old style spanish village, and the dead have started to rise from the grave and travel to this village to dance, following the music. The cause is a cheerful spirit who thinks there's a festival going on. She's completely oblivious to the fact that she's scared the villagers off, or that calling the dead to dance for nights on end is a bad thing, and just keeps on going with the merry-making, even seeing the heroines trying to stop her as "party-poopers who need to lighten up!" all while having a ball of a time. Hmm... This could probably be turned into a full blown incident, with a little re-working.:smallbiggrin: I've also been meaning to see if I could re-create ZUN's style too, and this would be the perfect chance. Looks like I know what I'm doing when exams are over!:smalltongue:

There are much more relevant youtube vids for Ground Cherry, so I'm betting that what it is when translated.

I like all of the music from the Touhou games, so the answer to that question would be no. Remixes can still blow me away, but I'm sure about which specific ones.

I personally really really like the overdrive remix. (Not Overdrive itself but the remixed version.) But that is also closer to my style of music, so.

Rinnosuke's comparison is mildly flawed, though. All the three languages he mentions other than Japanese are related - German most likely took its words for "eight" and "night" from Latin in the first place, and English evolved from old German.
In any case... Maybe I'll have to get that Tunngle thingamajobber and get Cog to "train" me a bit. Yukari's the only character I have practiced significantly with, after all. :smalltongue:
Speaking of which, a question for the more dedicated Soku players. Do you use gamepads or the keyboard? I've been wondering lately if it would be easier to input 623 and similar commands on a gamepad.

I use a keyboard, but I think several people use gamepads. The only problem with a keyboard is that it's very easy to turn things like 623 into 236, but it becomes much less common with enough practice. Not sure how problematic that is, if at all, with other controller options.

I personally use my stick. I use xpadder, works well enough.
I never used a gamepad, though I did use a keyboard for a long while. Probably wouldn't have changed if I didn't love my stick. WASD + UIOJ had me covered.

I.. muh... gah! {Scrubbed} That boyishly-dashing nobleman hair! How she acts so refined after someone spitting a mouthful of juice in her face; we need more charismatic Remilia:smallbiggrin:.

So I got my hands on the demo of TH13 earlier, and it's pretty fun. Had to get used to not-sakuya levels of speed in focus mode, and the game as a whole seemed a little bit harder, but not unfair.

So, I've run into a little problem. Two days ago I managed to switch my laptop for a slightly newer one (finally). Side effect of that was that I've moved from using Windows XP to using Windows 7. And after moving my stuff from one machine to the other I've learned that Touhou games from number 10 upwards won't run because they need d3dx9_40.dll - this looks like a DirectX 9 judging by the name, but since Win7 comes pre-packed with DirectX 11... :smallsigh: In other words did someone meet with this problem andd knows how to get around it?

I don't actually own Windows 7, but.. Right click, properties, look for a compatibility mode check boxes. If you don't see any, make a shortcut and look for them.
There are definitely people here who actually use Windows 7 though, so..

Simply go into a lobby like earlier and then either host a game or connect to someone else's game using the "VS Network" option in Soku's menu. If you're going to connect to another person's game, right click their name in the user list on the right side of Tunngle and select "Copy IP," paste the IP address somewhere and add "10800" to the end of it, re-copy the entire address, and then select "Connect to IP from Clipboard" from Soku's VS Network. Alternatively, just enter in the address and port manually using the second option from VS Network.
I would've played you earlier, except I was doing homework at the time and didn't know who you were. :smalltongue:

Aha, that was just me joking around. Don't actually switch, because that would feel like cheating. If anything, I might as well switch, since I was too stubborn to use someone else that time.

Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
You get two lurkers today! (Well, I'm sure you have more than two, but you get two of us to post. Details.)
So. Yeah. Lurker posting. Mostly because I wanted to be able to join the Soku party too, and also to be able to say that you got two lurkers in one day, and since another lurker posting is a rare occurrence, I figured I might as well post now. (This paragraph is pointless and so is reading it.)
I don't have Tunngle (yet, but it's a free download and I'm looking at the page now), but I would like to learn to play competently. I mean, more competently. I'm decent enough to beat the AI on Hard most times with Meiling, but I'm not sure if that's because I'm good or if the AI doesn't know how to fight melee-spam in the corner. Probably the latter.

Bracket
Seraphian has provided an IRC channel:
irc://irc.deltaanime.net/hisoutensoku
As previously noted:
- Games are played best of 3 sets.
- When registering for the tournament please register what character you will use in the first round; you must always use this character in the first round. At the end of a set who ever lost is allowed to change characters for the next set. This is to prevent unfair counter picking first round, and to make character selection simpler in general.
- Sanctioned matches must have at least one other registered player watching as a referee, make sure to save replays in case of contested matches. If you feel the ref was biased or otherwise a case of an unfair ref send a PM and the replays.
Games will be held using Tunngle, in Tunngle's 12.3 lobby.
If possible, please try to coordinate with at least a ref, but hopefully a streamer and commentators via the chat room of the GitP Hisoutensoku Steam Group. Also, please post the coordinated time for your match for the convenience of the refs, streamers and commentators.
If you are interested in streaming or commentating, show up and be available in the group chat room, watch for match times, and/maybe send a PM or a Steam message to KBF.

This. Oh so much this. I regret massacring the computer now just because it's gotten me into the habit of rushing and mashing out combos like a berserk idiot. You can get away with straight-up offense against the computer because it's so terrible with defense and stops guarding in the middle of blocks to let you hit it, but doing that against people will usually only net you a punch/kick/weapon/bullet/spell/other to the face.
