play a real shooter fucking bubby scrub

>bubby

Recenty kicked Clownpiece ass in Legacy with Sanae, losing only 3 lives in the process, I used to lose 90+ live with Reisen in Practice mode and still couldn't beat her without using a continue in said Practice mode, but then I choked on Junko and lost all my 3 lives on her 1st spell.

One of these days, I swear.

Have you tried pressing X?

>Have you tried pressing X?
How do you think I grazed everything? But for some reason, I tried to cap the spells in stage 6, didn't bomb enough and died horribly.

What difficulty?

Norm modo.

Why don't you play on Lunatic?
The difference in that game isn't that big and more bullets = more grazing = more resources.

>Why don't you play on Lunatic?
You know what, fuck it, why not?
I'm not even REMOTELY good for Lunatic, but whatever.
brb gonna try it now, don't let the thread die.
I won't be gone for long anyway.

I'm so shit at these games. I wish I could see my favorite 2hu for real, but I can't even beat the second boss

Me again , told I'll be back quick.
Dude, I can barely get past Stage fucking 1.
Even though I only have Normal 1cc's, I usually fair far better on Lunatic in the older games, going as far as Stage 4 blind on my first try on a good day.
I think I'll stick to Normal for now, thanks anyway.

>I wish I could see my favorite 2hu for real, but I can't even beat the second boss
Not with that attitude user, keep trying. Those games take a little bit of time before they "click", so play periodically and you'll get it eventually.

What's your favorite 2hu btw?

>I usually fair far better on Lunatic in the older games
You fare better because they're easier.

You could try watching this

What game are you playing?

Is it fair to say that if you can't get a lunatic no-bomb clear within ~50 hours of playing, you should stop these games as they clearly aren't for you?

...

Thanks, but I have no intention of tryharding Lunatic for now. Maybe in the far far future ... maybe.

>You fare better because they're easier.
That's fair I guess.

>fare
Why is it that I learn spelling and proper comma spacing from fucking Sup Forums of all places?

You don't give up, do you?

What's the point of playing something you'll never be good at? Especially games like these

...

You know me

user, you play these games because they are fun
You get rewarded by practicing and it's really satisfying to see how you progress in these games and how good you can get

I still remember when getting a normal 1CC was a huge deal for me

>shotty trying to lecture people about videogames when he doesn't even play them

I have been playing Crimson Clover World Ignition for months, i cannot beat original arcade.
I dont think i have the fucking capacity, it is not possible for me. Its really getting me down, i love the game so much. But it really hates me.
I cleared the doujin original no problem.

Im thinking about trying to play Ibara Black Label to fill the gap and make me feel better, is it too brutal like CC:WI? Because i tried playing the original Ibara and it was far too brutal, i think i hate rank.

user please, we're trying to discuss the games for once
Stop shitposting

These games are not "fun" if you can't even play them half decently. Fun in shmups is directly tied to how well you can play them.

That's why they come with different difficulties, to make the learning curve more lenient

The difficulties below lunatic are very boring and I'd imagine anyone would eventually stop playing if these took any significant amount of time to clear

Subterran Animism

Well user, you gotta start somewhere
If anyone could pick up these games and 1CC them on Lunatic first try then they wouldn't have any fun, would they?

I'm not replying to you anymore until you behave

post more touhou gameplay

If you think you're about to get hit, don't think "I can handle this" and hesitate to use a bomb.
Trust me, resource management is vital in these games.
Also I used to move all over the place, without focusing once. Needless to say, I died, a lot.
Focus on a small part of the screen, don't move like a spastic, and well ... focus actually, pressing shift saves lives.

A lunatic 1cc isn't something that takes effort or skill. Getting a lunatic 1cc whithin a few hours of play would mean you could focus on more wortwhile goals like scoring or nmnb runs, and end up having more fun.

Who's your favorite stage 5 boss?
What's your favorite stage 5 boss theme?

>A lunatic 1cc isn't something that takes effort or skill

I love Reisen's theme.

1CCd 7 and 8, then stopped playing 2hu because i got a real arcade

>he thinks lunatic 1ccs actually take skill
>when most people who are half decent can clear most games without bombs while only dying a few times on average, after some practice

>most people
And I guess you're one of "most people" here?

only touhou I liked was the one where you build troops and upgrade their stats, it's in a library

That's a fangame user

>Something requires practice in order to be done
>But it doesn't require skill

What?

Whether I am or not is irrelevant, those are facts. Watch any decent scoring run and you'll realize how irrelevant "survival play" really is

Are you Japanese or Korean by any chance user?
Not that many people are as good as you describe. Most of them have can barely 1cc Normal to Hard. NMNB runs take an insane amount of effort and memorization to achive.

>a single person made a fan game ten times better than a studio with a budgets main series
this would have been surprising 10 years ago

>ZUN
>a studio with a budget
user..

It requires practice mostly because some patterns need to be memorized, some stage portions have a trick to them, etc
A lunatic 1cc probably doesn't require practice in the truest sense of the word, you can get by simply bombing the sections that give you trouble after getting accustomed to the game for a few hours

>those are facts
I didn't know opinions were facts
Why would I compare a scoring run with survival 1ccs?

I'm talking about people who actually practice these games at least a little bit and strive to improve. Most people who can "barely 1cc normal" also barely play at all, as in they probably put the game down after a few failed attempts

>it doesn't require practice
>except that it does

>throwing a few credits at the game and bombing every difficult pattern is "practice"

>throwing a few credits
We're talking about 1CCs here user
You know what 1CC means right?

"throwing a few credits", as in, failing to get the 1cc the first two or three times, realizing what you need to bomb, and getting it on the next attempt

That's literally practicing
If it's not done on a first blind attempt then it's not something you can do without practice

Yeah it sure takes a lot of effort to play for an hour and a half
Not to mention getting a lunatic 1cc on the first blind attempt is not unheard of or even particularly uncommon

Show us your first try blind lunatic 1cc user

How would I prove it's first try blind? You'd just pretend it wasn't done on the first try so you can keep pretending lunatic 1cc is some kind of achievement
It's weird how so many people who are supposedly "fans" of these games are so averse to making any sort of real effort at getting better

So you don't have one and you probably can't even 1cc on normal
Good to know, now stop wasting more of my time

>everyone who isn't as shit as me is lying
we've entered the usual stage of denial for shitters

If you can't provide proof, then shut your fucking mouth

Why does every single Touhou thread turn into a couple of anons arguing over something that doesn't matter at all? I'd rather have dead threads over shit threads like these.

>Providing "proof" that you did something on the first try
ok champ

>It's weird how so many people who are supposedly "fans" of these games are so averse to making any sort of real effort at getting better

user, we are, but everyone has a different scale of "getting better". Someone starts from 1ccing Normal and after some time and efforts ends up 1ccing Lunatic.
Same thing for someone who's skilled enough to do a NMNB on Normal and finally achieves the same on Lunatic.
But all that I mentioned takes time and practice. Everyone has a different rate of growth here, others can move on to higher difficulties faster while others need more time to accomplish it. We're not gods user.

Your post seems like Reimu could've written it

Here's your answer

As you can see, it's the same eternally butthurt secondary who wants these threads dead

Is this the soku thread?

>user, we are, but everyone has a different scale of "getting better". Someone starts from 1ccing Normal and after some time and efforts ends up 1ccing Lunatic.
That's what's commonly said around here, but curiously almost everyone who is active in the "touhou community" outside of these threads is at least able to get LNBs/halfway decent scoring runs after about a year of playing. These threads have been around for a long time yet most people simply don't seem to be into the games at all

You can take your shitty fake elitism and blow it out your ass

That's not elitism, just an observation about people who pretend to be fans of the games but really aren't

If you definition of a fan is "someone who can get a lunatic 1cc on his first try" then I can't help but think you're just here to shitpost

That was just an example to show you that lunatic 1ccs don't require a lot of investment on the part of the player. These threads rarely discuss scoring mechanics, or specific spellcards, or share scoring strategies, etc. Most of the time people just post about how they just got some random 1cc then fuck off

Nobody but spergs give a shit about scoring

These threads are meant for people who enjoy playing the games, not for autists with a superiority complex

>people who actually like the games are spergs
See this is what I'm talking about. People like you actively poison this community.

You literally ruined the thread because you think people need to play for score and get lunatic 1ccs on their first try

I'm sorry but I fail to see how I'm the one "poisoning this community" when all I wanted was a place to discuss the games

Also, I still don't believe you're are an actual player, you're probably just here to piss me off and get more (You)s

Where's Komachi?

Where's Sanae as well?

Bro look, I like Touhou, hell it became one of my favorite franchises, but I also like to play different games every once in a while to chill when I'm tilted to play 2hu, or do some social interaction with friends, something you probably never done judging from how you act, yes I went there.
As I said, people have different rates of growth but what I also failed to mention, different lives, hobbies and schedules.

Don't be an elitist user.

What setting would you like to see for th16?

I don't see how I'm ruining the thread, I'm not preventing people from posting their ebin 1ccs or whatever. It just seems to me that these threads are a deterrent to anyone actually looking to play the game seriously, even potential new players, by making it seem like anyone who is actually playing to improve is a sperg
I think a lot of people would realize that these games aren't nearly as hard as they're made out to be, they're accessible even, if only the community didn't foster a mentality like this

>I fail to see how I'm the one "poisoning this community" when all I wanted was a place to discuss the games

>making it seem like anyone who is actually playing to improve is a sperg
You were talking about scoring user, that's definitely not something a new player would be interested in

Fuck off with your off-topic vendetta

congrats, that's completely irrelevant. You can easily get decent at scoring even if you play only a few hours per week. Keep up this mentality that anyone and everyone who's better than you at something must be either an autist, have no social life, or both, though

>everything that's directed against me is "off-topic vendeta"
>i'm free to shitpost and ruin threads as much as I like though as this doesn't apply to me

>You can easily get decent at scoring even if you play only a few hours per week.

I didn't realize how bad I was at Touhou until I played 15. I got 1ccs in other games just because I made the best of the resource systems in those games. But LoLK is just "If you can't graze you're not getting any more lives, you casual faggot."

I knew I was shit, but I didn't know I was THAT shit.

Seriously fuck off
You're ALWAYS crying like a fucking shithead about me and yet you NEVER want to talk about the fucking mainline games AT ALL
REALLY FIRES THE NEURONS

Yup. Check out what good players can do sometimes. Or I guess you would already know this if you had an interest in scoring, my bad

Why should anyone have an interest in scoring?
You just bomb for more grazing points, there's nothing interesting about that

>You just bomb for more grazing points
yeah, nothing at all to it other than that. try to actually play the games before commenting on them

>says the person that shitposts threads to hell whenever any game he doesn't like is the topic of discussion

>We're not gods user.
yet

youtube.com/watch?v=8_U92nyQZP8
wow you press X and graze while playing the game soo interesting
Scoring is a meme

I'm on the same boat as you, shits fucking hard.
First complete it on Pointdevice to learn the ins and outs, and then attempt to 1cc Legacy.

Aaaand how long do you think it'll take to reach scoring levels of play if you play only a few hours a week?

EXACTLY, a shit ton of time. See where this is hypocritical?

You just came here with the sole purpose of shitposting

You're a fucking secondary
You don't give a shit about touhou, you just come here to shitpost and post your fucking shitty reaction pictures and template responses

FOR THE LAST FUCKING TIME

DISCUSS THE GAMES OR FUCK OFF LIKE THE SHITHEAD YOU ARE

I hope you fucking die

>don't hesitate to use a bomb
This is probably the most useful advice there is. I can't even count how many times I've been sitting there dodging a tough spell card and thinking

>Hold up, I think I can do this.
and then two seconds later it immediately turns into
>NOPE WE'RE BOMBING KIDDOS

Yea, I was pretty confident on myself since I had started to 1cc a couple of games, then LoLK came around and screwed everything up, then I played some other shmups like DoDonPachi and realized I'm utter shit at this genre, I still have a lot of fun playing the games tho.

>Aaaand how long do you think it'll take to reach scoring levels of play if you play only a few hours a week?
Around six months, maybe a year? To get actually high scores/potential WR, probably more than that, but getting decent scores as a starting point shouldn't be some impossible hurdle

Why is LoLK so underrated? It has it all: a fantastic soundtrack, a memorable and fun cast, distinctive and unique yet fair and challenging danmaku, a new mode that can help newcomers get up to speed and a great story that takes the incident resolvers out of Gensokyo and into the Lunar Capital and the Moon.

It really is one of the best games Touhou has to offer, right up there with PCB and UFO.

...

What are you talking about? Only in stage one there's already quite a lot of grazing without using bombs. Not to mention that any mistake will take a shit on your score, makes the game much more exciting to play

Stop lashing out at random people because they're pointing out your incessant shitposting
