Touhou Game Club

Good morning, students. Today, we will dissect a broken butterfly with chopsticks and a scalpel that's infected with zombie's semen.

Sad to say, assuming I really keep this connection post-survey, my connection is still relatively primitive compared to you all. What does change is the fact that I can now either host or participate in some Touhou backalley-beatdown matches with little to no lags. My matches against Zandwarf were quite pleasant, despite minor lags.

Maybe it's now possible for all of us to play in some Dragon Ball-like tournament, Touhou style.

I-i-i think I've wandered away too far from my home..

Yes, Japan is not good for you. Come, papa will give you a candy with totally no drugs inside it.

Jenny.. no




Also, I've found a torrent in 4chan that has majority of touhou games including touhou 13. I think I might download that.

I will save the question for later.

Ah, so you are at last interested in it? I recommend you to start from th6.0.
If you're interested to play more, feel free to ask me for th13.5 and th14.0 trial in case you cannot find links.

Why not with Highly Responsive to Prayers? That is the only Touhou game, other than the fighting games, that I have finished 100% 8)

Because aside from the vast difference, HRtP is part of the seemingly 'forgotten' PC98 era; I believe it's more important to let new players see and understand the essential concept of what makes Touhou as we all know for their first time.

Morn, who is that girl?

Looking fine.

Don't believe Ol'Jen when he says his senses were dulled - I was cut to shreds in Soku[size=8] And then served as appetizer, egads[/h]

Generally speaking, people who are looking to start out in touhou should also choose the easiest difficulty setting before proceeding, since "EASY" itself has a different meaning in ZUN's vocabulary.

At certain points, it's very much a pattern game! Utilize the practice mode for this, and you'll find that some of the spellcards actually have loopholes/openings you can use

Pretty much everything that was playing in my head

No.. Haruruu! You have been plagued by BiBiBi Disease!



Zafira, please.


It's just because you want to master Alice and she happens to be my 2nd main. My senses are still relatively dull for characters aside from my top 2 main aces.



Playing in easy difficulty could be misleading due to the fact that sometimes there is a huge gap between easy and normal. Not to count that some games require players to finish the game in normal difficulty at the very least in order to achieve good endings. Since both hard and lunatic are self-explanatory, that leaves only normal mode for the most plausible solution, in my opinion.

Jen-Key, please.


You still retain a lot of your past experience in Soku, where as I had little to none in the first place - that counts for something at the very least.



Well yes - but normal mode (those with huge gaps in difficulty) might dissuade those who are less versed in bullet curtain games from giving it a solid go.

Fixed that for you.



While its true touhou has these big gaps in difficulty sometimes, I think the same is true of most danmaku shooters. The few I played on android in normal mode a while back felt like the harder touhou easy modes (UFO/MoF). When the android games were on normal they felt like TD-hard and TD-normal at times. The gap between modes on those wasn't as large as touhou's has been before but it was certainly a significant change. Big enough to be called a level increase but not making you feel like you are staring at a vertical hill.

Slowly getting better at cucumbers in HM - I will one day douse Jenaya's royal hindside.



Oh wow, touhou on an android touchpad sounds awfully hard - I already suck badly enough at avoiding big ass asteroids in NyanCat. DO NOT JUDGE ME, I WAS BORED.

and yeah, that holds true. I also sort of forgot that certain spellcards differ based on the difficulty, so it doesn't really provide a full water downed experience.

Its actually a little easier since you move as fast as your fingers. You will never have to worry about an attack where your character is too slow. The downside is that you become a victim of your touchscreen's performance much like we are victims of keyboard/gamepad performance. Some games have been (ridiculously) coded such that your finger must be over the hitbox which almost defeats the purpose of the hitbox.

I'm not, i've been like this for like 22 years

mmm what i wanted to do?...

Bah, I should probably sharpen up my rusty skills, but I'd rather play Skyrim or Civ 5... Of course, I still wouldn't be that great at it. Seem to do fairly wells as Suwako in Soku... but I still haven't found my niche for HM.

Aww yeah, Suwako's good at evading a lot of the shots up on land.
