Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
Hey Touhou thread,
I've just started playing Perfect Cherry Blossom and I'm having a weird problem that I was hoping someone might be able to help me with. Basically, while I'm in focus mode, my left arrow key (and only the left arrow key) stops working.
I can't figure out if this is some kind of game error or something wrong with my keyboard, but my left arrow key simply does not work while shift is pressed down. Any ideas?

That might just be the strangest computer problem I have ever heard of in my life.

Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
That is wierd. Find out if you can do it in other places. Open up notepad, put some spaces and see if you can shift over. (Should Highlight) Lets you find out if it is a game problem or not, if nothing else.

Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
Edit:
Spoke with an engineer from Microsoft. Apparently, the keyboard's electrical wiring is set up in a certain way such that if it gets multiple signals at once it doesn't actually process them all. This is a design feature and it's supposed to be for letters that are next to each other (thus, when you mash the keyboard only 1 or 2 letters actually pop up).
However, apparently on Microsoft Sidewinder keyboards, the left arrow key is on the same signal as shift and Z, so if you press all three of them, the left arrow stops working.
Remapping keys fixed the problem, as would programming a macro key.

Well, it's not Touhou, I'll have to go do some tech supporting I guess. Anywho, I tried that on notepad and it works when shift is pressed down, but if I hold Z and shift (resulting in a long line of cap Zs) then the left arrow key doesn't work, although again all other arrow keys work fine. Holding just Z or just shift allows the arrow key to work fine.

Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
Semi-related; while in focus-mode and shooting, I can't bomb. Work-around with a key-remapper sorta fixed my problem.
-
Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
That certainly does sound like an interesting problem.
So how do you like it so far? Also, remember, there is a whole world about the characters out there. Be careful, though, you'll most likely run into tons of Failice and Meiling getting stabbed in the head while you find your way around. Though it might just be because I'm a big fan of both those characters.
Which reminds me, Maiden Illusionary Funeral is one of the best doujins out there. Epic Yukari/Yuyuko romance is awesome!

Indeed. I recommend it. To avoid confusion - it's set in the past; there's also a sequel set in PCB (I think it's subtitled Phantasm) and a short thing with Chen.

I finished the game on normal last night. I had to use a couple continues though. I hate Youmu Kanpaku so much. So much hate. Burning, burning hatred. Yuyuko, on the other hand, is the best character ever, even if I did lose the first time during her final post-mortem attack.
Not being able to move left while focused is...challenging.

Again, try remapping, as suggested earlier.
And yes, Yuyuko is the best boss. Well, except maybe the fighting game bosses and Futo from TD. Only a stage 5 boss, I know, but some of those spell cards are just far too much fun.
Edit: I should probably mention that a fiery loathing for Youmu and the Prismrivers is perfectly normal. The only cure is fighting Shou (or failing that, Rin) over and over. To give you some perspective.

I have nothing against the character, just her appearance as a boss fight.
Her sheer lethality when played by you does not help one bit :smalltongue:
-
Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
I dunno, I always found Youmu to be one of the easier stage 5 bosses I've run into. Certainly a whole lot easier than Yuyuko or the Prismrivers to name those immediately around her in her own game.

She is one of the easier stage 5 bosses. Probably tied for second easiest with Futo, though Reisen is the easiest of them by far.
This does nothing to change the fact that she will sword you to death repeatedly.
With a sword.

Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
Personally, I always found Youmu the hardest 5th stage boss, ranking far higher than most 6th stage bosses as well. Certainly much harder than her own boss (Yuyu has a total of two cards that are hard), or Kaguya, or Byakuren (who is even easier than Yuyu), or Miko (who somehow manages to have cards that are easier than Meiling's), or...
She is the one reason I cannot 1CC PCB Lunatic. I can reach her with six or so lives, and by the time she's over I'll have maybe one if at all. It seems I may have a secret weakness towards sharp chunks of metal being lodged into my skull. Who'd have thought :smalltongue:.

Actually, I do think the character design is really good. But I have a lot of trouble dodging her attacks. The only spell card I can do without bombing/dying is the one where she shoots the large red shots while the small shots come at you from the back of the stage.

Prismrivers weird me out. I always die on their early attacks, but I can ace their last two spell cards with at least some consistency. In particular, that opening attack that creates lines of purple shots that slowly enclose you gets me every time. It's not even a spell card!

Wait really? I personally thought that Youmu was easier than Reisen, and that Reisen was a pretty challenging boss. Those moving rings of bullets confounded me more than time shenanigans I guess.
And yet I still think Marisa's harder than Reisen in IN. Not sure whether I had more trouble against her than Eirin/Kaguya, but those stars.
-
Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
So not playing as Sakuya, I take it. At least I don't recognize that opening attack and it varies depending on whether you're the hobo miko, the kleptomaniac witch or the ninja maid.

The way to dodge them is to stand still.

Wow? Really?
Whenever I face Marissa in IN the percieved chaos sends me into this weird trance state where I can actually perceive the whole screen full of bullets and react properly. I wish I could maintain that state, but I always lose it by the next stage and lose a ton of lives/bombs before the finale.

It's a shame really, since I can do a complete 1LC up until her, and I have nowhere near as much trouble facing Reimu. Once I get to Marisa, my reserves are usually decimated to the point where a slip-up or two in the next stage will cost me a continue, if she doesn't take one herself. I have less trouble in stage 5, although Reisen's still no walk in the park for me. So much for IN being considered the easiest in the series.
Of course, doing 1LCs until stage 4 is pretty much standard procedure for me for most of the games (UFO's the usual exception). Anything from then on though, I usually get murdered. :smallsigh:

Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
Hello Touhou thread.
I appear to have fallen down the rabbit hole that is Touhou after reading about how awesome it is on TvTropes, and went and got Imperishable Night.
On the one hand, on anything above Easy, I get crushed by stage 2. On the other hand, when actually playing Easy, I manage to get up to stage 4 without losing a life.
For someone who has been playing some shooters (Frantic 2, Bullet Heaven), and generally done okish, how is this?

Joking answer for you. :smalltongue:
Serious answer, I think it's just okay. What's giving you trouble in the first two stages on IN? (normal level I'm assuming) We could probably give you some tips on what to try if you like.
-
Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
It sounds perfectly fine to me and don't listen to the meme, it's one of my least favorite Touhou memes. After Sakuya being a sadist to Meiling and Alice being completely pathetic and utterly insane.
Anyway, Touhou is not only hard, it generally focuses on a different playstyle than most shooters with memorization and habit being more important than reflexes all told. So it's pretty much to be expected to do pretty poorly for the first few attempts, unless you're really good at the genre already.
As for the disparity, IN just has a huge gap between the difficulty of easy mode and normal. Far wider than any other game in the series.

With the types of patterns/spellcards in Touhou, having great reflexes will sometimes just force you into a corner if you react too quickly. Memorization is important in the game, so just keep at it until you can recognize the patterns. Easy is easy, precisely because the attacks are so staggered that you have a lot of time to fly out of the way, even if you aren't remembering the patterns.
And graze.

It's mostly that I'm being worn down, there's a lot going on, and that I keep getting hit, which makes me use a Last Spell if a spellcard, which wears down my bomb stocks, or just die otherwise. I suppose Last Spells are better than being hit and wearing down my life stocks, but still.
I'm also very good at being forced into a corner, where I get hit rather than bombing.
-
Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
Try moving a bit less. The shot patterns tend to aim for where you are, so moving even the slightest bit (just a quick tap on the arrow key) will make bullets miss. You see it used a lot in replays, commonly called "streaming". While it's nice to see that you have a lot of free space around you, you don't actually need that much to dodge; this way you can maximize the amount of time you have available to slowly crawl over to the edge.
It's also ok to use bombs if you have them. If you know there's no way for you to escape, just bomb to give yourself some breathing room. It's better than using 2 stocks or even a life because you wanted to take a chance. Also, you're playing Imperishable Night, so make use of the Spell Practice mode.
-
Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
Yeah, in Imperishable night, I've found that learning when you're totally doomed and need to bomb is a good thing, as it effectively doubles your bomb capacity compared to using last spells all the time.
Also, as somebody who recently finally beat Kaguya on Normal mode, anybody have any suggestions for the next game to find?

Extra mode in IN? :smalltongue:
Trying out one of the newer games would be neat for you to see how the design has evolved over the years.

Is it true that Imperishable Night is the easiest one out there? I've heard that subterranean animism is pretty brutal overall, but any specific recommendations?

Aw, you make my avatar sad. :smallfrown:
:smalltongue:
Imperishable Night is considered the "easiest" game because of how generous it is with extra lives and bombs. You can change the number of lives you start with to some degree, and every time you continue, you get an additional extra life to work with. Additionally, easy mode is pretty dang easy. Most of those things don't really apply to extra mode though.
Recommendations for next game to play. Perfect Cherry Blossom if you want an older one, Unidentified Fantastic Object or Ten Desires for newer.
-
Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
People have said that Ten Desires is one of the easiest thus far, and is a break from the relatively painful experiences of the more "recent games." (Recent here meaning MoF through UFO; I don't remember which ones specifically are considered hard.) I'd recommend taking a look at that, or just continue numerically with MoF. If you're going to MoF and later, note that continuing now starts you from the beginning of the stage, not where you last died. You could also go backwards; PCB is a good one. EoSD removes the visible hitbox, so if you're reliant on it, you may want to pass. Do also note that none of the other games (except TD I think) has Spell Practice, so you're just going to have to do entire stages to get better against certain bosses/cards.
You could also try out some of the spinoffs. PoFV is quite tiring, but it might be good if you have friends you can play with and enjoy competition. The two picture games are fun in my opinion, although they're quite difficult. They might be useful for practicing specific patterns though, since each stage is one card and you can pick whichever ones you want to do. And finally, I personally love the fighting games, but that's a different genre entirely.
-
Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
Of those I'd recommend Ten Desires. While I absolutely love Shou and Byakuren as characters, UFO is one of the hardest games in the series by a fair margin. Compared to the early games its easy mode is harder than most normal modes and some gameplay mechanics exacerbates this, most notably the difficulty of getting new lives and bombs and the risks it entails and the way continues are handled where they send you back to the start of the stage.
It does have some great backgrounds and gets you acquainted with some really great and popular characters, though.

So, Ten Desires sounds like a go, then. I did nab Mountain of Faith, and mein gott, you weren't kidding about Imperishable Night being generous with the lives. Also I'm not sure what to think about the Bomb 'power' system. I know that I'm not a huge fan of the auto-focuses if I hold fire down.
Speaking of spin-offs, is Fairy Wars any good? Cirno amuses me in a memetic fashion.

Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
I like some of the characters in MoF, and the soundtrack is incredible. Gameplay-wise, however, I'd say it's tied with EoSD for worst in the series. The rest of this post will be written from behind cover.
Anyway, PCB is excellent. Go play that. Easy is harder than IN easy, while Normal is easier than IN normal. And yes, the fighting games, while not what you're looking for, are possibly my favourite parts of the series.
As for Fairy Wars? Fantastic game. It may actually be my favourite of all the shooters in the series.

Ok, so, getting better at this, I think. As in, when I play on Normal now, stages 1 and 2 pass without incident. Stage 3 however has Keine, who quite happily crushes me.
Also, managed to beat 6B with Border team on Easy, the game proceeded to recommend Extra Stage in the credits. Take a wild guess how that went.

Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
After poking around a bit, I'm liking Perfect Cherry Blossom the most right now.
Also, when trying out everybody, I stumbled on SakuyaA's max-dakka spread/semi-homing knives. Why is she not the main character every game?
Also Merlin Prismriver, you and I have unfinished business.
-
Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
The Prismrivers are horrible to fight and Merlin is the worst of them in the bits where they aren't together. When I played PCB I pretty much always strove to deal the most damage to Lyrica so she would be the one I got to fight in the solo segments instead. She's so much easier.
And I agree, Sakuya A in PCB is the nicest bulletspread of any playable character ever. Which is awesome since she's also the coolest playable character by a fair margin so it's nice to be able to choose her while still getting an effective shot.

Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
So out of curiosity, is it taboo to post the ending text? I'm curious because when i was looking up a few bits to see if there was a joke I'd missed, I notice that there is two endings for each shot type of the protagonists. And I'm not really a fan of having to relearn everything all over again for each.

ZUN has asked for people to not post those around, and for the most part, people have listened.

Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
I figured it must have been something like that.
The prismriver sisters continue to get all of my rage, perhaps mostly due to the crap that I have to put up with just to reach them.
Youmu is hard, but something i think I'll be able to get through eventually. I think Reisen was harder overall on me; I managed to figure out her non-spellcard attacks, but my general method (focusing mostly on the character, then zooming out and identifying lines of motion in that direction) failed hard on her when she would reorient everything.
edit-addendum: Oh, do cherry points do anything other than score, and the supernatural border every 50K? Was just curious. I know the time points were the triggers for the last spells, and for the endgame in Imperishable Night, and was curious if they're at all similar.
Was also wondering if your current level of cherry points matters for the dialogue. Every time I meet Youmu she's all 'blarg I am a spring vampire', ~2-3 lives later and KNIVES, KNIVES EVERYWHERE, when we meet again she's all 'oh, when did a human get in here?'

Try SA or UFO? Those games are usually considered quite difficult. Or maybe play through the stages again, but jump straight up to Lunatic? I've heard people say that Extra is actually about the same difficulty as Hard, due to differences like how long each session lasts or less predictability in patterns.
Or if I'm just bad at recognizing modesty, ignore me. :smalltongue:
