HGH posted:I only found out about this pretty late, but the Chinese Touhou community is hosting an online international event. Yeah I've been watching the vods of TWC and it's a good watch. I'm also a normal player but I've followed Mino for a long time. In particular I noticed that the west has actually been doing extremely well. I love Mino but I honestly don't know how I feel about how he talks about things sometimes. Like, the guy managed to get the first perfect run in the whole tournament, and maybe the only one (he destroyed the PCB survival round). But when he talks about the games in LPs and stuff it's like he thinks about Lunatic No Bomb runs as like, the typical baseline for Touhou players, and talks about his "old newbie days playing on normal" which he seemingly got out of after like 1 month of playing.

So there's a new high polish Chinese Touhou fan-shmup out on Steam, Elegant Impermanence of Sakura: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1252320/Touhou_Kikamu__Elegant_Impermance_of_Sakura/ People seem to really like it, but at a high level I'm not a big fan of the heavily routed stage design. I'll probably check it out at some later point, not totally sure about this one though. The gimmick with the stages is that you have small enemies that fly across the screen that you're not supposed to kill, and big enemies with bubbles where killing them also kills all small enemies and erases all bullets in the bubbles, giving bonus points/resources. The stages are all routed so you can pop the bubbles at specific times to catch every small enemy.

I've 1cced all the Touhous except WBaWC on Normal (Pointdevice for LoLK ofc) and I finally got around to giving WBaWC a few tries yesterday. The visibility is really bad in that game I kind of don't want to try finishing it. The last two stages are really fun though. It's a shame because I feel like I'd like the game a lot more if it weren't for the gimmick, which I hated in UFO and I hate just as much now that we have a rehash of it.

SyntheticPolygon posted:TD is still the lowest ranking mainline game in the fav series poll so I think Miko is just so rad and cool that she is very popular despite the game itself not being that well liked. Wait what the gently caress? I consider 13 a low point for shmup design but DDC is probably my overall favorite. I kind of unironically think that it's good some shot types are overpowered and some shot types are really weak because it does let you sort of fine tune your difficulty when playing pretty well, and stage 4 in particular is one of my favorite stages in Touhou in terms of aesthetics. It's also a game system I don't find too intrusive and doesn't feel really frustrating to try to use (like UFOs).

BTW some of the Nijisanji EN VTubers had a karaoke + surprise announcement stream where the "surprise announcement" was actually 2 of them pranking the 3rd by springing Beatmario on them in their voice call partway through: https://twitter.com/EngVTubersOOC/status/1445243911828557827 Apparently this was set up after management heard Pomu say she was a huge fan of Touhou music and Beatmario like a month ago.

New minusT just dropped. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=430ejbSn-5k It's insane how his stuff has managed to actually get better over time. Now to wait 2 more years until the next part.

Meeko posted:https://store.steampowered.com/app/1140150/__Lost_Branch_of_Legend/ Bought and did 1 run last night. I actually like that so much of the card pool and status effects are exactly the same as StS since it makes it pretty easy to get into. Had both Demon Form and Wraith Form clones and played a pretty attack heavy deck that beat Remilia pretty comfortably. It's well polished and I like it, though it's a little funny to pay more for the fan clone than the original work.

7, 8, and 14 are probably the best ones to start with. 12 is also one that is a very clean shmup formula but tends towards harder.

I like Lost Branch of Legend but I think it has a ton of issues coming from it being tuned for people who really wanted extreme difficult STS gameplay. Also the map system is bad.

For context I'm comparing higher ascensions in STS to L7. I did several runs of L7 attempts and made it to the secret boss a few times but didn't finish a run early on. Most of the time elites were completely unwinnable without spell card and if I got to the boss with spell card it was usually a very close survive. Any run without card I'd just die for sure. Stuff like Lunatic Aya were just absolutely miserable. And then I heard they had a patch that made fights after act 1 drastically harder without making anything else easier but I didn't really play that much after the patch I got all the unlocks on. It was one of the earlier patches though, it might be different now. Also to be frank I'm sure I'm much worse at A20 than I remember but I did end up getting an A20 heart kill on every character at least once.
