Touhou Game Club

Quite strong if you position it correctly, and it actually has the longest duration (heck, even longer and more mobile than Marisa's), which should be enough to allow player to take some breath. But the main problem is still its very small AoE.



Don't forget that there is also a strategy to play till the time runs out. Sure she doesn't have anything to be proud at in her offense field, but her protection is probably the best among TD's playable characters.

First, pure and fast widespread shot type. While it doesn't help much when dealing against strong fairies, it does help to sweep the weaker ones.

Second, her bomb. Very good for protection since it stays in-screen for like more than 4 seconds.

Third, TRANCE spam. It's easier to obtain more life and bombs if you use the TRANCE when those orbs present in screen.

Those points are some from many more possible advantages that Sanae possess. If you look at it that way, then you can summarize her as the Templar/Priest in TD team.

I gotta say though... I took a break from TD and played PoFV... I was only able to 1cc the story mode with one character. lol. Aya. ^^

Nice. Are you using the vsync patch as well?



Noticed that during Falling Stars. It looked like the points on the star do more damage than the body.


Forgot about those. They made those laser shooting things in stage 5 and 6 easier to dispose of compared to other magicians....


If Sanae is a Priest then Marisa is a Knight, Youmu is a Mercenary and Reimu an Archer?

The vsync patch? What's that?

Polite woman with occasionally sadistic streak.



Marisa's precision is the best among all. Such trait is obviously dedicated to Gunner class, whose main is a sniper.
Youmu is more like a dual-wielding Berserker. Why ? Just look at her mad damage and rampaging bomb animation.
Reimu is like a mage-knight since she has no special alignment and also very flexible.



Reduces input delay (game responds more quickly when a button is pressed). Will need AppLocale for EoSD if system is not set to a Japanese locale.

Thanks.

You're welcome.



A little something you could put into your Touhou game folder to help reduce the in-game input delay.
They are very helpful and must-have for older games like EoSD and PCB. These shouldn't be really needed in newer games, though it's preferable to use it just in case.

Seeing you all talking about Sanae in TD tempted me to write a personal overview for all characters. Below are my personal opinion and overview, so here they are:

Reimu Hakurei

Unfocused shot helps clearing the screen full of enemies and it's also got a respectable power to wipe those bigger fairies/enemies. Her focused shot are fast, straightforward and packs a punch. Good bombs, though it could be a bit tricky to do a maximum damage with it.

Her small hitbox makes it easier to maneuver and dance in the middle of dense bullets my personal favorite pastime, but in exchange, her movement speed is the slowest which can hinder in collecting spirits. Though it seems to be redeemed with her special ability during trance which makes all spirits gather towards her. Good ol' Reimu being greedy!

A flexible and friendly character for all as usual. I'd say she's the best choice for survival play and dancing in the middle of bullets, grazing, grazing. Graze like I want to win.

Marisa Kirisame

Unfocused shot is lazors, who doesn't like lazors in shmups? Her lasers combined with her insane speed are fast and strong enough to sweep fairies and lesser enemies in no time. Her focused is slower, yet strong missiles with a bit splash damage which is also good. The downside is her bomb which makes her moves really slooooww, slower than Reimu.

Her speed and power also make it possible for collecting and combo more spirits better. Also, she's really got insane power and pumped up speed during trance.

She's all about shooting enemies till they are dead. The second best character for scoring. Unfortunately I found it could be harder to maneuver in the middle of dense bullets with her due to the big hitbox and insane movement speed even in her focused state.

Sanae Kochiya

Sanae is a good girl.At first she seemed like a poor man's Reimu (with same premise but weaker stats in everything). But she could be frustrating to use. Unfocused shot covers wide area, good to sweep lesser enemies but she'll get hard time trying to sweep those larger enemies/fairies, especially in later stages (4, 5, and 6 came in mind). Focused shot is kinda tricky and weird to use I'd prefer shotgunning with her unfocused than using her focused shot. Her bomb is on par with Reimu's and slightly longer which really helps her to graze and collect points/spirits more.

She does seem to be rather plain and not excels on anything compared to the others, save for her special ability that makes it possible to fill her trance gauge 1.5X faster than the other playable characters thus allows her to reach trance more often. Spamming her bombs, grazing for spirits and do more trance is the way to maximize her potential.

Youmu Konpaku

New hairstyle to celebrate her as the main character in TD! Like in San Andreas when Ryder told CJ to get a new haircut before he's back to represent Grove Street. Or was it something like in anime? When a new haircut typically represent character change/growth?

What should I say... the girl really pack punches. Speed like Marisa's, unfocused shot that can be aligned to spread wide so it can sweep enemies easily or it can be focused on the middle to nuke greater enemies/bosses, focused shot that can cover wide area and got power, extremely small hitbox during focused state, and insane attack power during trance.

She really overdid it in this time I'd say. Though to be fair, she can take some time to get used to due to her unusual shot type(mainly her focused which is must be charged first). but in all, in my opinion she's the second best choice for survival play, and the best choice for scoring.

Touhou Project Trademark is in the hands of another person now.. maybe :p

From what I've heard, it shouldn't be a problem. Since that guy claimed "東方プロジェクト" whereas ZUN has always been using "東方Project" for Touhou franchise.

The time for battle approaches.

Today, I scored a Yuyuko nendo and a Reimu 3D mousepad from claw games. I'll post pics when my camera decides to stop dicking around... I also got some 'character motifs': they're like, um, half a palm size, they're made of metal, painted silver (some of them are colored to match the motif). They're supposed to come in random boxes, so you'd have to buy them each blindly to try to complete the collection, but I thought about it and was like 'there's 8 of them, why not grab the whole box?' xD It'll be an easy trivia to show them to you and have you guys identify which belongs to who... I'm sure it will be EASY~

Named? She feels familiar but I can't place a name to her.



Marisa would enjoy the title of Gunner, Reimu would be indifferent and Youmu would say she is "an ordinary gardener and calm swordswoman" instead of a crazy berserker.

Kyoudou Senna from Big Bang Age - Daibanchou. She is also one of playable characters in the spin-off fighting game, Big Bang Beat -1st Impression / Revolve-.



So you are me now ? And I am you ?
I like that premise. It's the basic idea for a plot that involves double persona; you can take the polite side while I take my own evil side. I always enjoy being a villain or anti-hero. [size=5]my only roles for dramas in high-school[/h]

*sighs*

Two days until the end of the Normal mode contest, and still no where near 1cc-ing TD... Time to bunker down, and stay up all weekend if I have ta. lol.

If it makes you feel better, I again failed to 1cc Marisa just several minutes ago, 5 times in a row.

Haven't played TD in few months =D

Hey niggers, long time no post

Dropping this

Also, to all
I apologize for the lack of activity recently. I need to study for my Engineering Sketch test next Saturday. It's one of my major subjects, despite it being just 2 units. Fuck that, guys, 2 units for a 6 hour per week class ==". And again, it's one of my majors...

I also just had my Math exam today .-. I know I'll pass, I just hope I'll nab a high score .-.

A bit early for a submission but this weekend will be a bit busy so here it is.

---

If done correctly, hopefully, the score is 284121330. Either normal pays more than easy or I'm seeing some results of my efforts to score higher. This event was a great excuse to play copious amounts of TD the last few weeks and it also made me, and likely everyone else, better at TD. The entire event was a blast and I look forward to the next one. Good luck to everyone who will keep grazing until the last minutes.

None of that rings a bell yet she still looks familiar.


It would be scary to share a body/mind with a bottomless pit of evil personalities. Something like Flan and Byakuren sharing a body would be scary just to watch. [size=3]It goes without saying who is Flan and Byakuren there, "Old-Red".[/h]

Tried TSA on a computer at work today. I used AppLocale on Windows 7 to run it. On my laptop (Japanese locale) running Kurenai loads Matsuri as it should but on that computer running Kurenai only runs Kurenai. Same for Hayate. I copied the folder containing Matsuri from my laptop to that computer. Any guesses as to why Matsuri won't work on that computer?

I'm not surprised. Personality is what makes one character different from others.



No no, Youmu. Flan is no evil, she is just a kid with overloaded strength.
Speaking of evil, there is nobody in Gensokyo who fits that criteria, that is of course excluding Saigyou Ayakashi. The closest one I could fare is Seiga, I'm super-fine with that though.



Try to reinstall it in said comp ? Follow the steps properly and you should be fine.



That's right. Good job.



Aww, thank you for understanding the purpose of events here. 10 Trials of Shoutoku wouldn't exist without your contribution and Helios'. For that, you have my gratitude. Keep improving yourself. I'm looking forward for your participation in the upcoming events.
