Grazed points
« on: December 29, 2014, 11:54:17 AM »
Ummm...i don't use forums such as this often. So I might not be posting this in a good place.
Well. I'm wondering if anyone can list the Touhou shooter games where grazing adds points to your school.
For example:
Touhou 6 does, Touhou 11 doesn't. I know that not all of them do that.
So I'd like a list of which ones do.

Grazing adds direct points in Touhou 4 to 8. (It also adds to the value of canceled bullets in 6 onwards-- significantly in EoSD, and slightly in PCB and IN.)

In the main games from Touhou 11 onward (it does nothing in MoF) it instead adds to point item value.

Grazing factors into almost every Touhou score system, some more than others, but it's almost always a very important part of scoring. It's also much more complex than just graze = points. Touhou Wiki has good information on how the score systems work. SoEW and MoF do not have grazing.

Also, I don't think there are any benefits to grazing in PoDD or PoFV.
Oh, and in Shoot the Bullet, I think the "Risk Shot!" bonus for taking a picture while grazing bullets is bugged...



In this screenshot that I took long ago, I was a tad late and Reisen's bullets phased out just before I snapped the photo here, and as a result, I got no bullet points. However, it says that I got 1200 for "Risk Shot!", and yet the photo was still worth a bit fat "00". Is the "Risk Shot!" value supposed to be added directly to the photo score (either before or after the score multipliers for the other bonuses)?

@Reply 1
Thanks.
@Reply 2
Thanks. Also, do you happen to know which games give you lives when you reach certain numbers of points?
@Reply 3
Nope. It's not bugged. You're just insane because you're fighting Reisen.
Loljk.
I wish Shoot the bullet explained more about those kind of score multipliers and add-ons.

I'm happy Double Spoiler did.

But I'm not good at either of those games really. -w-"

It's all on the wiki, but for your convenience...
points: LLS and everything before, EoSD, PoFV, MoF
point items: MS, PCB, IN
life pieces: SA and everything since except GFW, which uses the motivation system
