Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
Well, just a quick question, since I might as well spend some time now. What version should I get? The first result Google gave me is "4.3.2.0 Beta;" I'm not sure if different versions will be incompatible.

Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
Get whatever version you find on Tunngle.com. It won't let you log in unless you are running the latest version anyways.

Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
That was simple enough. I think I've got it working now; I got in the lobby for Hisoutensoku without any problems anyway.
Although I'm surprised at one thing. There's a server for Shoot the Bullet...why exactly?

Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
It seems to me we have some number of players, but not a lot of variety in the games happening, as well as some people who generally haven't gotten involved in any netplay. How droll. I've started a Steam group to help keep in touch and find games, in the effort of building a playerbase. Related:
Opening registration for a 12.3 Ranbat
Format pending on number of entrants.
- 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 played over Tunngle (Tunngle.net) using the Touhou Hisoutensoku lobby.
To register, please send a PM with the following details:
Profile Name:
Tunngle Username:
Registered Character:
The ranbats will be kept up to date on the Hisoutensoku Steam Group's main page.
Deadline for registration will be on April 12th, just as the clock strikes midnight PST.

Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
I signed up :) Excited to go up against people who might just happen to be closer to my skill level, rather than a thousand levels above me.

Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
I think I'll sign up for this too. That is, if there's no objection from the people who have already seen me play.
When exactly is it, or is it going to be at the players' convenience? And what does "Ranbat" mean? (Random battle?)

Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
*Grumble Grumble* Well, I guess dispite the incomprihensible jargon, and knowing just how good some of these players are, I'll sign up too.
Edit: Apparently KBF is also forcing me to provide livestreamed commentary, dispite me not speaking any fighting game jargon, and barely knowing what things like 26C mean.
Yes, I know it has something to do with movement on the numberpad, but I don't have a numberpad on my laptop.

Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
Jargon? What Jargon? This game is very simple. All you have to do is mash buttons until you so something cool, then attempt to repeat that series of mashing. The whole point of the game is to mash buttons faster than your opponent.
At least, thats what it seems to be about to me.
This is only partially true.Last edited by Volatar; 2011-04-06 at 05:17 PM.

Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
I dunno, I think it's about trying to spam more spell cards than the other guy.
Not that I don't find it fun :P

Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
Spell Cards? Is that what those things on the bottom of the screen are?
It took me forever to make the connection that sometimes when I press D on the keyboard I do something cool and all those cards disappear. Still not sure exactly how that works. Since it seems to be connected to doing cool things I should probably look at the wiki or something, but I am too lazy.

Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
Well you could just imagine a numberpad. In arrow keys, it translates to...
7 = left (away) + up 8 = up 9 = up + right (forward)
4 = left (away) 5 = stationary 6 = right (forward)
1 = left (away) + down 2 = down 3 = down + right (forward)
If you're facing the other way (in this case, left), the inputs are similarly reversed. So 623 would turn into 421, but you would still say 623. Alternatively, assuming the audience is familiar with Street Fighter, say things like "Hadouken" and "Shoryuken" like the wiki does. The inputs are pretty common in fighting games it seems. Or just say the actual names of special moves. "AND YOUMU JUST DID A NETHERWORLD REFLECTION SLASH TO COUNTER SAKUYA'S MAGIC STAR SWORD!"
Edit: Happy now Volatar?
Edit edit: Never mind. Apparently multiple spaces don't display properly. This saddens me.Last edited by EifieFlare; 2011-04-06 at 06:03 PM. Reason: SUPER AWESOME FORMAT CHANGE

Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
Formatted like that is confusing. A pictures says a thousand words.
I would be up for joining in on commentary by the way

Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
Ranked battle.
I've got a guide on the way, by the by. Should rope in those new to Hisoutensoku or the series in general, with any luck. You know, to the glorious duels of magically-enhanced facepunchery.
Edit: Assuming KBF doesn't deem it terrible.
People registered for this who scare and will probably trounce me so far: Eifie, KBF, Drizvolta. Getting ready to lose repeatedly and horribly. For now, I'm up for matches whenever.Last edited by Cogwheel; 2011-04-06 at 06:18 PM.

Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
I've got Tunngle installed, I just joined the group, I'm up for either setting up a game with someone, or providing color commentary. The one catch: I rarely use multiplayer on anything, so I have no idea how to do either. So expect me to be flying by the seat of my pants, technology-wise.

Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
Eh, he knows how I play now. Not to mention that he did win a couple times. Even when Suika takes it easy in melee combat, it still hurts.
In other news, I've noticed something recently. When it comes to characters and music, I tend to not like (read as: have no interest towards) one or the other.
For instance, I like Flandre, but I think her theme is probably the most overused thing in the series. For Youmu or Ran, I feel that their themes are nothing special. On the other hand, I love Broken Moon/Foregathering Dream, but I'm not too fond of Suika. Same goes for Lullaby of Deserted Hell. And then songs/characters that I moderately like are associated with characters/songs that I moderately like.

Even though the only Touhou-related thing is the Keine in the upper left, I'll just leave this here.

Re: Touhou II: Story of an Eastern Thread
hmm. Odd I couldn't get the English translation patches to work. Lightly bothersome.
