Touhou Game Club

Oh-ho~! A fellow lover of the fiery hourai!

Welcome to the group!
Check the first and second posts for useful stickies and additional information. Keep your posts clean [size=6](because Jenny is a nitpicky bastard)[/h] and don't forget to spoil large images and never use img tags to booru links.

Hope you have fun. Everybody 'round these parts are pretty tame so go ahead and knock yourself out

That's right!

Welcome to Touhou Gem Cube, Da_Nuke. Nice to meet you, I am the Hitler in this club.
All I have to say is already said by Khor. In shorter and tidier summary; stick to the rules to avoid any problems.

We are looking forward to your active participation.

Thank you so much for accepting me into this club. I'm looking forward to lots of fun :3

I'm starting off saying that I just played some rounds of Phantasmagoria of Flower View... and dear god, Medicine is the lamest character of the game. Her special attack does nothing, and her charged shot does nothing and is useless for taking down spellcards and Lily Whites. Maybe the only good thing about her is the shape of her spirit activation area, the two horizontal arms of the star are good for activating spirits next to you, but the same can be said of Reisen's area.

I seriously feel like nobody is better than Marisa at Phantasmagoria. Her charged shot is a laser that is very easy to control and pierces everything (i.e. it reaches bosses and Lily Whites), her spirit activation area is an infinite vertical and she's overall very easy to control, maybe my only complaint is that her special attack is easy to dodge. Youmu is not so great but her charged attack has a nice edge to it in that you just need to charge it one notch to take out bullets.



Funny, I've always viewed it as the game giving you mercy after spending a life.

Not if she is your enemy. At least that's what I feel whenever my enemy A.I is her.

On topic about your favorite character in PoFV, gameplay-wise. I'd like to choose Medicine, surprisingly. To be honest, I never really have any friends to play with here, so I am not sure if we're talking about favorite character in a competition or such. Medicine doesn't have extraordinary movespeed or extraordinary powerful shot-type, she is pretty much close to boring, but those weaknesses are compensated by her poison, which can be very lethal in long-duration battle with danmakus plagued your enemy's screen.

Well, I cannot say much since I am not really fond of PoFV and its mechanic, not to count the flawed A.I, though that one part is actually understandable, given the situation.

MIIIINNA-SAAAN ARIGATOOU GOZAIMASU FOR THE GREETINGS X3



Jeeenny no worry about that :3
And btw my hearts now belong to the misfortune goddess.

on another note

ok if this is the IN route #3, then what are #1 and #2, i know one of them is PCB but the sources i keep getting seem confused at whats first and whats second?
(could be #1 = EoSD and #2 = PCB or #1 = PCB and #2 = MoF, i have no idea)

Gotcha.
Expect a gift from me by this weekend. Hopefully.



MY BODY IS READY. Seems like there will be so many goodies in Reitaisai, not to count ZUN's marriage. I am so looking forward to it.



It's more like,
0.5 = EoSD
1 = PCB
1.5/2 = SA

that being the case, i still cant find the others

[font=Cirno][h2]CURSE YOU CRANBERRY TRAP!!!!!!!!

Seriously, I can't get past it. If I can, I'm too slow to get past Lævateinn (even though it's freaking simple to figure out how to).

I recently saw this question being posted on the Facebook group where I usually post, and I think it's some pretty good food for thought:

Why do you like Touhou? As in, which is actually the core reason why you love Touhou?

For me, I'm a fan because of the ambiance, the immersion you feel when you surround yourself with the Touhou canon. On the games side, this is all thanks to the games being a perfectly balanced combination of danmaku, Japanese mythology, music, and a beautiful aesthetic that makes the games so enjoyable. If we also consider the extended universe, the fact that there are more than enough extra works to lose yourself if you don't feel like playing some rounds of danmaku is also why I love Touhou so much, over the years a pretty great effort has been put into world building and creating extra depth to this whole thing. This is also why I really, really like "deuterocanonical" doujinshis (those doujins that follow the canon so tightly they might as well count as such): the way they add what might as well be even more depth to the world of Gensokyo is enough to maybe even make me feel like I'm part of it.

The fact that I can feel like I'm living a world where everything is possible and wonderful things happen on a regular basis, where life is simple, chill and there are few of the complexities of our real world, is why I love Touhou so much. The aesthetics are unique and great (ZUN manages to pull this mix of Japanese and European that looks beautiful), the music is great, the universe is interesting, and on the games side the only gripe I have might be with the simplistic graphics but that's just a minor technicality.

Edit: I just listened to Trojan Green Asteroid... and holy Mary mother of all the gods and Ahura Mazda and ZUN, this is so great... so great... it made me feel like I was in Gensokyo, the blissful world of magic and wonderful girls flying through the sky. ZUN is great and he is a master of making you feel a part of it. I can now die satisfied... nah, scratch that, if I die I won't be able to keep delving into Touhou, so I correct myself: I can now sleep satisfied :3

Deep and well said, Nuke. A large part of touhou is its fan base, and they do a great job catering to the many ways touhou can appeal to anyone and everyone - however different they may be.

[font=Cirno][h2]I like Touhou because it's a good escape from reality, and since it is a difficult game, I enjoy playing it. ^^

The core reason I love Touhou, is because I can connect with some of the characters. Cirno in particular. lol. ^^

because TinyPic that i usually used is acting up right now,i Used ImageBam just like you said to me before but because it's a hassle,you can see it in here.

Inevitable musical cue.




And more Mokou-tan is always good.

Too much Touhou Labyrinth .-.

Well my answer isn't going to be much different frm the previous ones
ZUN manage to create a wonderful imaginary world, inhabited by unique characters.
I can say it's because of those characters that i fell in love for touhou,
because of their look, their story, their life, from dramatic moments to comic ones, be them canon or fanbase.
And not to forget how the music improved a lot my experience with it.

Why I like Touhou...hmm...I don't really know

Maybe because it provides lots of room for my imagination to explore?
