Best touhou to start?

1,2, or 6

Touhou 4, 7 and 8 are the one I'd recommend because they're early entries and are pretty easy.

Cheers anons

One thing I really like about PoDD is the fact that the boss themes kinda goes up and down in intensity. Mima's and Yumemi's are the best examples, fizzling out a lot after the verse and staying far in the background for a minute or so. I find it goes well with the fights often feeling like they drag on yet have big spiky moments with boss spells.

Junko is a joke, what's wrong with you user?

My knowledge of Toehoe goes as far as /jp/ memes and music go.
What is the actual story here? Who do these frilly brats fight?

Danmaku are duels, and it's how you assert dominance and show to everyone else in Gensokyo that you mean business
Kinda like Pro-Wrestling

Reimu is the Hakurei shrine maiden. She maintains the border between Gensokyo and the outside world. Her best friend is Marisa, who is a magician/thief living in the forest of magic. Whenever someone causes some kind of incident that could threaten the balance of Gensokyo, Reimu and whichever other protagonist gets sent out head out to deal with it. These incidents range from actually serious one (Underground bird threatens to nuke the world, Lunarian assholes try to terraform earth, ghost and half-ghost try and steal spring) to the less serious (there's lots of flowers, the seasons are out of whack, there's a ghost ship in the sky)

Just waiting for WBaWC now

I didn't find UFO tough until Lunatic, and SA is easy all around once you know the gimmicks and how to use shot types. ReimuA is actually one of the harder characters to get a clear with

>ReimuA is actually one of the harder characters to get a clear with
How come? I haven't tried the others too much, all my clears were with Reimu A (hard/extra)

That bomb tho

Guess I'll heed your advice anons and try out normal when the going gets too tough
Dunno why but I kinda felt like normal would be babymode so I just went with hardmode right off the bat. Doesn't seem to be the case though, a lot of people in here are saying they're playing on normal

- Satori is harder than other types
- linear is often a pain, like against Rin
- bomb is weak as hell, making it poor for offensive bomb use
meanwhile ReimuC and MarisaA assrape everything in survival play. MarisaB is also mighty but imo much harder to use than all others.

12

you're supposed to point blank with her dingus. She blows up ufos like no other

Because humans have the lowest natural power but the highest potential.

Huh, had no idea, I even found Satori to be really easy, but I've never got to her with any other type
Any recommended shot types for first UFO hard 1cc? They all seem decent (except Marisa B)

it is one of those videos that look like a game but it's not a game isn't it?

no clue, that's my least played title. I went with SanaeB cuz good girl & that bomb.

beat as in a 1cc or just completed?
Last and only 1cc I've done was Ten Desires

I think there was one of these threads where a guy was convinced to play LoLK Legacy on Lunatic for his first ever game

That's my favorite type as well, it's too good

What about ReimuB?

Genius of Sappheiros?

Which shoottypes should I use in 6? My first touhou game btw

sheer suffering
yes, expansion to be exact

I started with ReimuA, homing helps a lot if you're new

ReimuA is for survival and I say beginner-friendly for EoSD.
Play Marisa if you prioritize damage but skilled enough to control fast character with bigger hitbox.

If I want to play Marisa which shoottype is better?

>bigger hitbox

How come this isn't reflected in her character design?
Why aren't there any fat Touhous for that matter?

It's not that Marisa is big.
I think Reimu is just sorta lanky or acrobatic so she can micrododge better.

good taste but thats not a stage theme

What to play after PCB ? I really liked the atmosphere and the story. Does any other game in the series come close to giving that same feeling ? Difficulty isn't a problem.

Nah

Imperishable Night

Play them in order, but IN fits what you said

youtube.com/watch?v=LlIvZCfaCxw

I thought about IN but the double shot-type thing puts me off a little bit. How efficient do I have to be with it or can I pretty much go through the stage with only 1 character and change only for particular situations ?

youtube.com/watch?v=29lqs432008
Remilia, Yuyuko, Alice, and Yukari are main characters.

Maximizing efficiency is only for fun. IN is pretty lenient. But if you want to do big dick damage then you'll have to learn to Malice cannon (which is really pretty easy)

Double shot types is a really fun mechanic, you'll probably learn to like it
The one that is most similar to normal shot types is Border team, so start with them

I really, really like AocF.

I found 10 to be accessible on easy mode but I only started with it because it was the newest game at the time. Then I didn't play another one until 13 which was also not bad. 8 was pretty easy, too. 6, 7, 11 and 12 I struggled with. Never played 9, or any game past 13.

Focusing on a single mode in IN is important only for scoring and using more continues, don't worry too much about constantly switching characters

People like her for her personality. And the reason alone that she has a manga revolving around her provides more character development than the majority of the Touhou characters.

Indeed, but they are not something you aim to get reliably in the first runs, especially with some shot-types

I like ZUNtars.

Chado had the right amount of comedy and action when he did touhou stories.
Now it's all just feel-good Love Live

I remember seeing someone taking 4000+ tries just to capture Seiga's Overdrive in TD with Sanae.
That's some great dedication to one's waifu (because why the fuck else would you play Sanae in TD?)

>Seiga
she's such a fucking brick wall compared to the rest of TD besides the final boss

>I'm tired of being good. Time to be lazy.
I'll never understand how that happens to someone.

ISC had them.

IaMP's Lunatic story mode is about as wack as PoDD, not even memeing.

Do you think ZUN will implement in future games as well?
Is it a good or bad thing?

With all the fighters spinoff and all, why hasn't ZUN made a horizontal shmup one?

He won't be able to emulate a good background scenery as much as vertical shmup. Atmosphere is one of Touhou's strong points.

Could he really pull it off? I think it'd just end up as literally the vertical games but horizontal, and bullet hell horizontals are pretty boring

It won't be as good. Trust me.

And background dynamics.
I doubt horizontal shmup can pull off the feeling of changing flight course or moving from one place to another that happens a lot in Touhou.

The setting is Gensokyo, a place sealed off from the outside world where youkai (japanese monsters, demons and spirits, if you didn't know) can freely exist, because the advances in technology in the outside world make it extremely difficult for youkai to live there.

In Gensokyo, humans and youkai share an uneasy coexistence. Youkai need things like belief and fear in order to survive, and thus need to antagonize humans, but they also need to work with humans in order to keep Gensokyo in balance. Therefore, altercations between humans and youkai are settled through nonlethal spellcard duels, which makes up the bullet hell that you see.

Whenever some youkai or whatever causes an incident, Reimu Hakurei (a lazy, grouchy shrine maiden whose family has maintained the barrier protecting Gensokyo since its foundation), Marisa Kirisame (a magician who loves lasers and stealing) and whoever else is playable this time head out to resolve it.

The "tone" of the games is usually pretty light; everyone's kind of an asshole to each other and the game usually ends with the protagonists having tea with the final boss. It's never really made clear exactly how "dangerous" Gensokyo is, because that kind of stuff is intentionally left up to fan interpretation.

that's a good one user. She's easily the hardest boss, even in a game full of cheese shottypes

Kasen and Okina are pretty important
Hecc Doremy and Sagume kinda important

Koishi has one of the hardest cards but most of her fight is relatively static

probably not a good place to start but hidden star in four seasons is also piss easy

Which game has the most background kino?

Attached: Th15SeaOfTranquillitySt6Earth.jpg (384x448, 174K)

IN's is pretty strong thematically while MoF and SA are visually fantastic.

Any game with the bamboo forest

I say UFO.
Going from chasing treasure ship and traveling to Makai is great. If the game had better mechanic it would be 10/10 game.

Stage 2 and 3 were shit (aside from chicken character design) but I am still hyped for WBaWC

Maybe it is a reverse TD/DDC where demo is mediocre but rest of the game fucking amazing

I never found Doremy to be that bad except for Ultramarine Lunatic Dream

Everything, the stage, bomb management, noncards, my fucking luck since I get some patterns I either can't not-bomb or just strafe into when I think I can.
Actual cards are not a problem aside from Unnatural Phenomenon. Even then I can just throw a bomb at her and it's done.

she isn't even the hardest boss in that game

Yoshika is unironically harder than Keine for me. The nons are frustrating

>Meiling is that easy

Really?

>Keine and Alice that high
>Meiling and Nitori that low
why

Meiling is mostly just throwing pellets randomly that you can figure out easily.
It's not even fast.

Only thing hard about Nitori is her second card. Her lasers aren’t even curved

>love the boss theme
>but her stage theme is more popular and got tons of arrange instead

Boss themes are often more popular than Stage themes, so that's not too common, really. I can't even think of any other example, offhand. I guess Voyage 1969/70 are pretty popular, but I don't think they outperform Lunatic Princess or History of the Moon.

It’s the most common with TD. 1, 3 and 4

TD is an odd duck when it comes to music, considering the normal and spirit versions of every track. There's some solid stage themes, but my favourite is still Futatsuiwa From Sado.

Plain Asia.
It doesn't have much remixes of it compared to Nostalgic Blood of the East which is fucking everywhere.

For me it's the Storm at Mt. Ooe

Is she harder than Eiki or easier?

PCB, IN and MoF are all great.
However I really like DDC, especially stage 5, music and background spinning + enemies that shoot upwards from below, mirroring usual enemies all create mysterious and confusing atmosphere.
TD is great too , honestly I really like everything about TD except 5 and 6th bosses and trance system.
