[] General Touhou Discussion thread

I'm not interested in Touhou much for the games, but for the rampant fan mania surrounding the series. There's so much Touhou art and other doujin stuff floating everywhere it's actually hard to avoid seeing it. ZUN sure has done well for himself.

I have tried the games, though I have difficulty remembering the titles. Probably Perfect Cherry Blossom, Imperishible Night and Immaterial and Missing Power. The shmups were as crazy as I expected, and I kind of gave up on them since I didn't feel like investing the time to get used to the games. Maybe I just lack good motor control skills. IaMP was pretty slow for me, compared to traditional fighting games, so I didn't really have much of a good time with that.

But like I said, Touhou is pretty unavoidable now so I'll likely end up trying the series again. Maybe this time I'll be able to keep track of who all these billions of characters are and why Reimu's armpits are so alluring.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I've been trying to get into Touhou lately (actually my second attempt or so), and it seems to be sticking this time around. Slowly trying to work my way through the actual games, but so far it's tough going. I've only been playing Perfect Cherry Blossom so far, and I haven't yet managed to beat the game on Normal, even after exhausting all my continues. Practice makes perfect, I guess.

Just got SWR a couple hours ago, and this will probably cement my induction into the Touhou fandom. When I tried playing IaMP a long while back I didn't really like the game, but SWR is awesome fun. Suika has to be the most hilarious character ever.

Netplay on this is pretty cool, too. I played Lace for a while, but now I've got to work on the story mode.

o rite, don't forget to patch the game.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Does anyone here play Scarlet Weather Rhapsody (Touhou 10.5)? I play it quite frequently, and I'd really love it if there were more people around to play with.

If you're interested in a match or just chatting, feel free to swing by #rtfo @ irc.psigenix.net, where I hang out.

I like using Youmu, but I don't primarily use any character. I play around with all of them to varying degrees of success.

The Youmu avatar/sig was just because I found the image amusing.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

zzeroparticle showed up last night to play a couple games, which was pretty fun. I won't actually be available 'til this evening, but feel free to drop by any time. There are always folks there to chat/play with anyway.

If you're really bored, you can check out my collection of replays.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Trust me, you haven't even seen Myon abuse. I only occasionally use that Myon cannon, and it's even more rare for me to do it twice in a row. To do a triple Myon is just desperation...

Also I'd probably have changed my ava/sig by now if I weren't so lazy to do it.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yeah, your Remilia play has inspired my friend there to play around with more alt skill cards -- Chain Gang (alt 214BC) and Ceiling Fear (alt 22BC). The end result, essentially, is that whenever I play Remilia my life is misery. You can check out some of the alt skill cards in action: Replays. The last 12 or so are what you'll be looking for.

FELIPE NO

Just a heads up: SWR is now patched up to v1.06. Tasofro is really pumping out the patches lately...

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I don't think they're exploits so much as continual fixes. Changelogs generally don't reveal any huge nerfs or changes, so I guess tasofro just has a bunch of free time now.

China patch coming when

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Balance, schmalance. Who really knows.

You'd have to be pretty skilled at this game to be able to recognize what constitutes imbalance and what's simply getting annoyed at being cheesed by certain moves.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Why are all the moves in Japanese? Here's the original translated version: SWR Wiki

Good information on there, though it has gone a little stagnant as of late.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

NOT LIKE ANY OF YOU GUYS COME TO PLAY ANYMORE/ANYWAY SO DISCUSSING STRATEGY WITH YOU IS POINTLESS

Guys. I'm dyin' for some more Scarlet Weather Rhapsody competition. Recently started playing it again with two other people, and while it's fun it could be more fun if we had a larger group of people.

Come on, I know some of you must have this game.

Hit us up in #rtfo @ irc.psigenix.net for some matches!
