Regarding patch 1.31 for HM

The graphics are a bit smoother. By smoother I mean the backgrounds look better and the panning of the screen feels more fluid. There are some new animations for the characters too.

The new attacks and spells are interesting but not game-changing from the characters I played with.

They made it easier to stun people. There are also a few technical changes such as reduction in cast/declare time.

UNZAN IN THE 90TH?! SIMPLY UNFORGIVABLE.


Regarding 1.31, I heard it also fixes some bugs from 1.30, such as Futo's double UFO rain that can instantly kill the opponent.

At least it's better than him being absolutely last.

Hullo, Hello! Long drowned handyman with a battle report here!

My matches against Herr Butterfly in HM were pretty much foiled by the terrible ping and ensuing lags, but we had a fly off a time in Soku!
I'd say we were pretty evenly matched on the overall with wins and losses on both sides, and it let me pit my skills against a lesser god-like player(I'm looking at you, Catler), which allowed me to gauge my strengths and weaknesses on certain characters.

OPPONENT ANALYSIS
Herr Butterfly is not one for lavish or hasty inputs, and is quite formidable on the defensive - He's clear cut on what moves he WANTS and WILL execute, so don't expect too many careless or accidental strikes on his part to occur.

He's also quite deadly if fought from a range, and would most definitely wither you away unless you're confident with your own shooting.

Keep an eye out and manage your distance well, and I wouldn't advise dragging things out in a prolonged firefight~

I wasn't expecting you to do one of these but now that you have....

OPPONENT ANALYSIS
Zaf will battle with the intent of gaining momentum like a surging tide. Expect him to use all available options to control the flow of the battle. You will be drowning before you know it if you let him be. Being creative and ambitious are your best counter-measures.

Oh ho, aren't you guys showing your cards a little too early? I'm all up for analysis breakdown though.
From the way how Zafira put it, BiBi sounds a lot like Haru. Have you tried to contact the other to arrange matches? Assuming BiBi's connection is as good, if not better, as Zandwarf's, then the lags shouldn't be an issue. Maybe you guys can also try Sokuroll while you're at it.

I would love to spectate two guys with similar style fight.

Also, Zafikametori - we have fought even before the humanity was created. Why don't you analyze me in a more detailed fashion?

Hah... I look at all the preparations for the Soku tournament, and then take a look at what I've done... I'm sure to get last place. :3

It's either that, or what's up my sleeve will be so out there that no one, except Jenkins, will be able to counter it! Ah hah hah hah hah. *I'm so covering up for not practicing*

I don't suppose it's all about preparations for Soku Tournament. Like well, you see, friendly matches? It's something like, you fight - you get to know the other - you become friends - you try to kill the other; just like how real life works, doesn't it. Don't be a stranger there, Zandwarf. Let's play.

If you're up for a match now, then I'd be more than honored to take you on.
I intend to check whatever you're cooking.

Well, be that as it may... you'll have to wait for my big Soku flop like everyone else... I have to head to bed, and then I'll be busy until Friday.

Oh, don't worry about that.
Just give us a heads-up once you're ready to be emasculated. (this is what Zafira said to you)

I wasn't trying to give away any specific methods to beating Zafy. I haven't seen Haru around recently.

Everyone knows how you play Jen. An analysis of you would be like trying to prove Newton's Laws again.

..Dont mind me... Just leaving some classified information..

Why not divulge as much as you can to let your opponents wipe one another ou-

I've actually had little to no actual practice time for soku - my recent matches with Herr Butterfly and Jenkey were all fresh off the rust shelves!

This kappa has nothing cloaked away.



Here's a highly detailed graph for your perusal.



Fixed~

Finally faced off against Kokoro-Story-Hard. She's not too difficult. Her diving spell is hard though. It breaks your block in two hits and if you are caught by her you get 4 total hits. Very easy to lose a life to it. If Miko and Mamizou didn't rob me of a life each I could have 1cc-ed. Kokoro's last spell is a joke, Reimu was harder to deal with.

One of my colleagues saw me playing against Koishi. Conversation went as follows
Him: "Is that a movie?"
Me: "No its a game"
Him: "Oh is it one of those Japanese games where you strip the girl naked?"
Me: "Not even close"
Him: "Oh its like Mortal Kombat?"
Me: "Never played that one so I couldn't tell you"
He watched me beat Koishi.

The bold texts indicates what I suspect is his image of every non translated game.

Despite how lethal it is, Kokoro's Mask of an Angry Hated Wolf is still pretty much bearable with precise timing, decent speed, decent non-Buddha bullets, and skill cards that involve dense projectile (not mandatory). Keep moving left and right to bait Kokoro and shower her with bullets as soon as she is within your line of sight and range; this way, you can attack her while she is attacking. Make sure to shower her with more bullets and fists while she is recharging to garner the best possible damage for one turn.

It's just the usual strategy to conquer spellcards in fighting games:
Victory = Analyze the spellcards's pattern + Repeat(Wait for your chance -> Strike)



Are you sure he doesn't have holes for eyes?
Just like with Zafira, PMing Haru seems to be the most plausible solution to have matches.



You meant to say, "I am Titan, you are human".
Those are fighting words.

I wouldn't doubt it either.

Dropping off some news of one of the members here.

As of yesterday, iam1vs100xp died from a road accident. Apparently, even before that, he had a sort of illness. Anyway, yeah.

...On a note related to Touhou... I just finished 1-ccing PCB with every character. ReimuA-SakuyaB. Was freaking difficult as all heck... Now that makes EoSD, PCB, and IN with extra stage available to everyone.

I'm sorry to hear that.
My condolences to him and his family. May his soul rest in peace.

I think it's worth noting that Iam was pranking (again), and the post regarding his death should be ignored.



ZAN. HOW ABOUT WE SOKU THIS WEEKEND.
