My answer!
This is between Wind God Girl and anything in EoSD. Both of them suck.

Actually, I'm gonna go with Wind God Girl in this one. Why? Because I even hate every arrange of it. I just can't stand it. Demetori's version makes it barely managable with awesome speed metal, but everything else goddamn it make it stop.

At least some EoSD songs have awesome arranges to go with it. But the originals are just shit.

Necrofantasia. Way too much appreciation for something that is essentially tantamount to aural rape.

Post by: Sen on December 28, 2009, 08:24:52 PM
Ohhh, I forgot another answer for yesterday's question. Reimu's PoFV theme, Spring Lane ~ Colorful Path doesn't get enough attention.


EDIT: CHANGING MY ANSWER. Necrofantasia is still in first but REACH FOR THE MOON IMMORTAL SMOKE. My god why does everyone like that song so much. It's decent but people just seem to orgasm on the spot when they hear it :(

Still giving the dishonorable mentions to Bad Apple!! and Tiny Tiny Clever Commander.

U.N. Owen is a good song, but it's overrated.

My vote still stands for Wind God Girl, but I won't disagree to U.N Owen though.

Although it counts as an EoSD song so :V

Post by: Kitsumi on December 28, 2009, 11:03:48 PM
I don't find how Wind God Girl is all that overrated. I think it's way better than Mysterious Mountain. ;_; Lunatic Eyes ~ Invisible Full Moon and Doll Judgment would have to get my next vote.
Title: Re: Three Daily Touhou Bests!
Post by: Gpop on December 28, 2009, 11:11:06 PM
Just my opinion. I absolutely LOVE Mysterious Mountain over all other Aya themes. Wind God is just the lowest as I get bored from every note of it (except possibly the intro, which is decent at most).
Title: Re: Three Daily Touhou Bests!
Post by: LiteYear on December 28, 2009, 11:21:07 PM
I don't really like answering overrated questions because it really is dependent on the communities that you hang out with.  But I think I have to go with Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke.

I'd have to agree with you. The intro of Wind God Girl is pretty much the good part of it. I've just listened to Mysterious Mountain from MoF WAY, WAY too many times  :V

Necrofantasia*, Bad Apple!!, Invisible Full Moon, Heian Alien.

Title: Re: Three Daily Touhou Bests!
Post by: DarkslimeZ on December 29, 2009, 02:03:21 AM
Yeah, Mokou's theme is fairly repetitive.

Unlike most of you, I like Wind God Girl(intro is the best, but I still love the rest of the song) and don't like Mysterious Mountain. So my picks are Reach for the Moon and Mysterious Mountain.

And Necrofantasia is great. You know how long it took me to get to Yukari at all? Hearing that delicious aural rape was the best possible thing for the OMGWTF boss of most of Touhou.

No songs from Mystic Square really stand out to me that much. Though the Grimoire of Alice did get a good remix in Hisoutensoku.

But uh, Alice in Wonderland and Spiritual Heaven aren't too bad.

Post by: Serela on December 29, 2009, 05:28:37 AM
Oh darn. This is... really hard.

I mean, Romantic Children is great. But then, Alice in Wonderland is even better. Doll of Misery and Grimoire of Alice are awesome too. Note how 3 of these are Alice-related, and the other one even has the word "Doll".

I can't pick between them... its different kinds of music, I can't rate them against each other. They have different styles and emotions about them, they're all wonderful in their own manner.

No, I will not ask it!

What is your favorite track from Unthinkable Natural Law?

This is quite tough, actually; UNL had some stellar stuff.  I think I will, very narrowly, give this to The Eternal Steam Engine, with Our Hisou Tensoku and The Scenery of Living Dolls both clsoe behind, and more HMs to FANTASY HEAVEN and Cirno and Alice's new remixes..

Post by: Kilgamayan on December 30, 2009, 05:44:38 AM
Now this is a much harder question than best track in SWR, because this game is the exact opposite in that almost every single track blew me away.

I...can't answer this one. It really depends on arbitrary mood swings. Sometimes it's Faith is For the Transient People, sometimes it's Chinese Tea, sometimes it's Nuclear Fusion, sometimes it's Tomorrow Will Be Special, sometimes it's The Eternal Steam Engine. I cannot pick any one of these five as better than the rest. D:
Title: Re: Three Daily Touhou Bests!
Post by: Polaris on December 30, 2009, 05:59:40 AM
Eternal Steam Engine has to be the best original theme from Hisoutensoku, with Unknown X ~ Unfound Adventure close behind. The Scenery of Living Dolls is so ironic when played when it is, but it's still awesome nonetheless. And an honorable mention to X, the Floating Objects in the Sky just because.

As for remixes, I never really like the remixes from the fighting games, but if I have to choose, then it'll be Voile, the Magic Library.

On another note, does anybody else think the openings to Chinese Tea and SWR's Mystic Oriental Love Consultation are a bit similar?
Title: Re: Three Daily Touhou Bests!
Post by: nintendonut888 on December 30, 2009, 06:21:00 AM
Our Hisou Tensoku. \o\ This song is one of several reasons I 1cc'd the game with Meiling rather than Cirno. As for the battle themes, I'll go with Chinese Tea.

Post by: AlexX Unlimited on December 30, 2009, 08:53:47 AM
Most of the remixes sound jazzy and/or megaman-ish. As such this is a very difficult choice.

Either Faith is for the Transient People, Unknown X, Chinese Tea, or Dichromatic Butterfly.
Title: Re: Three Daily Touhou Bests!
Post by: Formless God on December 30, 2009, 09:12:53 AM
Faith is for the Transient People. HM to Tomorrow Will be Sunny, Yesterday Was Not.

Eternal Steam Engine doesn't sound that special to me, sadly.

MR. ZIRCON DOES NOT COME IN PEACE.

Who is your favorite character from Imperishable Night?

As with all questions, all rationales are acceptable.  I have incredible ease handing this one to Mokou, she's easily one of my favorite characters in the series on pretty much all accounts.  HM goes to Keine (who is awesome) and Mystia gets a lesser one.

Also note this one includes Reimu and Marisa, as they are bosses!  So if you really hate everyone, there's a cheap option out. :V
Title: Re: Three Daily Touhou Bests!
Post by: Furienify on December 31, 2009, 05:15:11 AM
Original: Eternal Steam Engine, hands down.

Remixes: Chinese Tea, Grimoire of Alice, Jazzy Tomboyish Girl and Okuu's theme (Solar Nuclear Mystic Wind Sect... something like that).

Faith/Sunny are both great tracks but they weren't blood-pumping fighting music that I often go for in, well, fighting games.

#2 (hurr one minute ninja)

Favored PC: Yuyuko (Whimsical one moment, deathly serious in a spine-tingling way the next when facing Mokou)
Enemy: Hmmmmm. Eirin. Because of her stage music. Voyage 1969 was always one of my favourites.

By far the only good thing to come out of IN, although Plain Asia's pretty cool. Mokou, Eirin, Wriggle and Kaguya are dull, Keine's alright I guess, Tei and Mystia are my two most absolutely-hated characters in the series.

Ironically enough Reisen is one of my favorites!

I have never heard of this before... What is it all about, exactly?

I told Kilga about it before, so let me explain.

Seeing Mokou was like seeing a roleplay character I've already seen a thousand times over the last few years in chatrooms and forums around the internet.
Red eyes = Badass
White hair = Badass
Immortal/Ridiculously long life (but looks 15) = Standard/Badass
Fire = Badass
Loner = Badass
Combine them all = Fail.

I hold that maybe, just maybe, ZUN made her because he thought his fans wanted an InuYasha clone except sacrifice the ears and sword for immortality and fire, respectively. Even if this isn't true, I'll still take a werecow over a Gaia cliche any day.

At the same time, I don't want to derail the topic, so next question please o/

Remilia's Demonlord Walk! Fast forward grazing attack with one and two hit versions for keeping people guessing and it's really fast and moves far and chains well and it's awesome and ahsjavdhjsvdaf

Edit: Also, Youmu's five card counter 'Heaven Viewing Sword "Slash of Clearing the Six Senses"'. Looks great, does great damage and is really exciting due to the gigantic risk involved; the best moment I've had playing this game was my Youmu against a friend's Yuyuko near the end of a match. He was spamming projectiles, and at a sliver of health remaining I grazed through right near to him and used the counter as soon as I was clear of the bullets. He fell for it. :D

Player attack: Massacre at Mt. Ooe.

Weak American damage. REAL SOVIET DAMAGE. Screw the fact that you'll never pull it off ever. Honorable mention to Thousand Cherry Blossoms for helping me to 1cc SWR lunatic because it's a spell card that you can get hit during and it will still activate.

Enemy spell card: Scarlet Weather Rhapsody of all Mankind. If all fighting games had a final attack like this I'd be more willing to try them. Honorable mention to Yakumo's Nest simply because Yukari's sprite during it makes me gush from the mastermind moe.

I love Komachi's boat ramming. Sure, they're easy to see coming but it's just too priceless to ram people in a boat. Also a bit of mind games with the other boat spell that makes spirits flood in.

Also love Reisen's Mind Starmine, sure it's not too effective but it's cool looking.

Non-card: Flesh Dismantler (Yukari alt-421). While her default 421 is more effective, it's hard to dispute the brilliance/stylishness of a teleporting dark parasol buzzsaw. HMs to Fortune Slip Bomb (Sanae default-22), Spread Amulet (Reimu alt-236), Disorder Eye (Reisen alt-22) and Hell's Wave Motion Gun (Utsuho alt-22).

Card: Illusionary Dominance (Aya lev 5). Few things in UNL are as satisfying as catching someone with this and manually striking them to the apex of the screen before the final hit. HMs to Blowing Ice "Ice Tornado" (Cirno lev 4), Obsessor "Slash of Eternity" (Youmu lev 5), Flower Sign "Colorful Light Lotus Flower Palm" (Meiling lev 5) and Atomic Fire "Uncontainable Nuclear Reaction Dive" (Utsuho lev 4).

I've only played SWR and UNL, but I'd have to say Reimu's crazy border one.
See 2:53 here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ9WmE_mTZY).
It's pretty fun to dodge, and it fits Reimu nicely.

If you mean player attacks, then Marisa's super ramming attack where you press -> and Z. Melee-ing Aya with this and dashing all over is fun~

Danmaku Bounded Field, yeeeah! I think that everything past Th08 doesn't have particularly awesome final EX-boss attacks, and Ex-Alice's final is actually one of her least interesting attacks IMO, I love basically everything else in her fight.

HM to Evil Eye Sigma's last phase for DON'T STOP MOVING OMG WATCH OUT FFFFFF-, and Ran's final card (along with Yukari's nearly identical(?) version). Because standing still while a cloud of bullets flies by is awesome, especially when you have to make your own safespot (and often can't, resulting in "how the eff do I dodge this D:")
Title: Re: Three Daily Touhou Bests!

Shikigami "Wizard Fox Thoughts"

When everyone reaches this card for the first time, they go WHOAOMGOMG BOMBOMBOMB. And then you figure it out. How easy it is, so easy that you don't even have to look, you can just watch the patterns and listen. And what happens after the card is perfect. Ran drops you a 1-up piece. It's like a welcome. You've passed her first trick and are now worthy- and now let the true battle begin!

HM to:
Shikigami "Banquet of 12 General Gods"
Because I keep giggling at the thought of 'dodge towards the 12th general god in the bottom-right'.

Illusion God "Descent of Izuna Gongen"

Danmaku Bounded Field never stood out to me much because by the time I actually beat Yukari I had already captured the "upgraded" version in IN. :(

I'll go with...Subterranean Rose, I guess. I love the Koishi battle in general (my favorite boss fight in the series <3), while none of the other bosses' final cards really stand out to me much. I also have never gotten past Nue's second card, and haven't played any PC-98 Extras beyond MS, where I've gotten past Alice's second phase once.

Gengetu Rape Time, easily. If you don't count timeout attacks, Descent of Izuna Gongen. It's a little on the easy side compared to Border of Life and Death, but the concept is something I always wanted to see in a game: An attack that starts out simple, gradually adds on layers, and keeps at it until eventually you're dodging for your life.

Mokou's Imperishable Shooting is probably my favorite because it looks amazing, with Suwako's Mishaguji-sama coming in second for being beautiful, deadly, and simple all at the same time.

For the favorite attack one, I would have to say Alice's Alt.22B/C, Seeker Wire.  Its just too satisfying getting someone stuck in a net of that.  Special note for that for using the doll strings.  HM to Focus Power "Trip Wire" for also using the same mechanic, and to Patchys Philosopher Stone, just for being awesome.

For the Extra Stage Spellcard question, I would have to say Moukus first one, Limiting Edict "Tsuki no Iwakasa's Curse" if only for being the only card that I cant catch that she has that I still find fun.  Disoherable mentions to Hollow Giant "Woo" just because I hate it and cant catch it ever

EES' suicide laser!
Grudge Bow. Maybe I'm biased, but it just seems great all around; the way the lasers get fired upwards into the sky before descending to wreak havoc gives an awesome sense of impending doom, the actual danmaku is gimmick free and relies on pure dodging skill, and the random nature keeps it challenging and exciting for repeat playthroughs without ever screwing you over Peerless Wind God-style. Q.E.D. and Pandemonium come close for similar reasons, but Grudge Bow has the flashiness and is just plain more fun to attempt, so Nue wins this one. :V

<_< How the heck do so many people miss the "final" in "What is your favorite Extra boss final attack"?

When I posted my answer, Baity's post looked like this:

What is your most favorite Extra Boss Final Attack(s) / Spell Card(s)?
The phrase "Final Attack" is to cater for PC-98.

I assumed the "Final" in "Final Attack" applied only to the term "Final Attack" given the PC-98 clarification (and thus did not imply "Final Spell Card") and that the question just meant any ol' special bullet pattern in an Extra.

Given the change, my answer of Pandemonium remains the same. I have yet to see another final extra spell card I have enjoyed.

What Kilga said. Pandemonium is fuckawesome.

An especially honorable mention goes to Grudge Bow, though, because it's like a throwback to StB, which is far and away my favourite Touhou game. It's the one thing I can unequivocally like about Nue. No gimmicks, no trickery, and like Pandemonium, it's difficult and tough for all the right reasons. I freakin' love it.

Post by: LHCling on January 03, 2010, 05:06:17 AM
Yeah, I accidentally put the starting - " - in front of final instead of attack, which led to quite a bit of confusion. Probably because I accidentally pluralized the word "words" and my mind just followed it through. I personally blame myself for not proofreading it before. Anyway...

I'm going to say "GRT" (obviously). Though, doing "Mishaguji-sama" No Vert and nearly surviving the last phase without being hit also increased my respect for the Spell Card by a lot.

Also, the question should be coming up either now, or really soon if you want it "on time"  :V

Who is your favorite character from HRtP?

Mine is Konngara, who is so badass she single-handedly inspired me to get into PC-98. Honorable mention is the yin yang orb, who is quite a free spirit.

UFO Stage 1 and 2, can't choose between them. Both are far, far too hard considering where they're placed in the game. On top of that, Stage 2 is utterly boring, as the easy stage section is mostly just a case of 'wait for the static bullets to go away, shoot some of the enemies that follow you around and pose no threat to you until close because they will spawn bullets on you, repeat', with some simple streaming thrown around. Stage 1 is slightly more interesting, but still not great, and although this is admittedly completely subjective, after over four hundred attempts in a row I am utterly sick of the sight of that goddamn mouse and her pendulum guards. <_<

Okay, so, I attend boarding school, and so my internet is also provided by the school (which is why it's so horrendously slow). They also shut off the internet at 11:30PM Sunday-Thursday. So, with the exception of weekends, I'll be posting questions at 11:20ish EST time, so I can get them in time and you guys don't lose 7+ hours :V

What is your favorite scoring system from the games?

ie, your favorite method of gaining points, anything from careful Cherry manipulation in PCB to beating the shit out of things in IaMP.

I'm gonna go with SA's Communication System on this one. Raising the point items through grazing is a great idea, especially in a game like SA, and the full-value auto-collect for repeated grazing is wonderful~
HM to EoSD for being so simple. Shoot things to get points, go to the PoC to get more points, get Extend!s for points. No gimmicks, just straight-out shooting.

DHM to Mystic Square, where the DreamBonus system requires you to essentially perfect the entire game in order to score high. :c

Post by: ふねん1 on January 06, 2010, 06:06:37 AM
I've always liked SA's the most. Aside from letting the Communication Gauge function as a full-screen POC (and thus letting you focus all your attention on the bullets themselves), it also helps that the game's danmaku patterns (more graze-heavy than some others, in my experience) really complement the CG system. This level of synergy means not as much work is needed to make it effective.

Since I as well try to survive more than I try to get a good score, I like the PCB one the best, due to it rewarding you with the Supernatural Borders. Nothing like getting a short while of invincibility for that stage 6 spam.

Second place to SA for the convenience of being able to autocollect without having to hit the PoC.

UFO and PCB for giving you things that actually help you beat the game. I play mostly for survival rather than score, but I try to follow some general scoring guidelines, so it is nice to get an actual benefit from timing UFOs/borders and trying to maximize item collection.

What is your favorite power in the series?

I'm talking about the individual abilities that the girls are officially stated to have in their profiles. Yukari has control over all boundaries, Yuyuko can instantly kill people, Shizuha can...control the color of leaves. etc

I'm gonna go with either Keine's manipulation of history or Remilia's manipulation of fate. Keine's lets you change the past, Remilia's lets you change the future! :V
HM to Nitori's water manipulation. I always thought that would be a really cool ability to have.

Post by: nintendonut888 on January 07, 2010, 04:09:15 AM
IMO you can't beat Yukari's power. Call it overpowered, because it is, but the versatality and the near limitless possibilities it has is one of the reasons she's my favorite character. Honorable mention goes to Kurumi's power of hypnosis, even though it's an attribute I gave to her myself. :P

BTW, from my understanding of Keine's power, she can't actually change history; She can merely change how history was written or temporarily block out certain events.

A project I'm working on involves a lot of the PC-98 cast or other cast members without predetermined abilities, so I've been trying to come up with 'em XD For instance, I gave Daiyousei the "Manipulation of water currents", making her the water fairy of the lake (As opposed to cirno, the ice fairy of the lake)... BUT ANYWAY.

Favourite canonical power goes to... hmm.  Yeah I have to admit I'm fond of Yukari's.  I know it's broken as hell, but it's broken in a way that no sensible person would have ever thought up.  It's just so out there it's wonderful to me.
Title: Re: Three Daily Touhou Bests!
Post by: Hideki on January 07, 2010, 04:18:07 AM
Yukari's boundary power, most definitely.  The superpower I would like the most is the ability to open gates to elsewhere (this was before I heard about Touhou, it's originally based off of the Gatekeepers OVA (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GateKeepers21)) and I thought that Yukari's power was like mine taken to a ridiculous extreme.  The fact that her power was so much like mine, and the fact that it seeme so unique in fiction was one of the reasons why I initially played Touhou, and the reason why I chose to 1cc PCB for my first game on normal.

It's close between Satori and Utsuho, but Satori wins out. Mind-reading is an absolutely fascinating ability, and very high up on the list of powers I'd like to have for myself
assuming I could exercise some control over the damn thing
. I'm strangely endeared to the fact that it's a power that carries with it obvious adverse consequences. I also approve of how it's such a strong defining aspect of Satori's character; it gives her an incredibly unique personality that I didn't fully appreciate until I read through SA's dialogue properly.

As for Utsuho, Nuclear Fusion/gigantic explosions are brilliant for reasons that need no real explanation. She absolutely blew me away with her boss battle in SA & attacks in UNL.

What is your favorite theme from Story of Eastern Wonderland?

I absolutely do not give a shit about SoEW and as such I will respond with a "dunno, lol".

What is your favorite scoring system from the games?

Scoring? What's that? It's all about survivin'. For that, PCB has the best scoring system, it's like getting an extra bomb, gotta love it.

What is your favorite power in the series?

I'm with Solais on this one, though maybe that's just because I've been studying systematic theology for far longer than any teenage girl ever should. The power of miracles > all. Even Yukari's borderhax means nothing next to an ability that literally defines itself by screwing over the laws of reason.

Speaking of:

IMO you can't beat Yukari's power.

Post by: Iryan on January 07, 2010, 09:02:55 PM
It may not be as h4xxx as Yukari's border manipulation, but as it comes close and as it is applied in much more interesting ways in acual canon, I'll go with...

Suika's manipulation of density, or, to be more specific, the ability to gather and to scatter. Creating clones of any size, including "house" and "mist droplet", who share the same conciousness is awesome enough in on itself. However, seeing as her powers extend to any other things and even people, this ability is second to Yukari only in terms of the more Lovecraftian applications of gap-hax, and you probably wouldn't want to try those, anyways.
Creating black holes or turning anything into a huge dust explosion is all the offensive power you'd ever need, period.  :V

HMs to Satori's mindreading.


Borderline offtopic rant: Yukari's ability is nowehere near as powerful as fanon portrays it. This starts with the range limitations
that she shows in SSiB
and ends with the fact that she can't uphold the fixed border between night and day angainst Kaguya's onslaught of attacks. Conclusion: Using gap-hax is exhausting and thus Yukari's can in fact not hax too often in succession or on a too large scale.

Shikieiki, on the other hand, is much more powerful than she is usually portrayed in fanon. Not only does she beat every character in PoFV multiple times and without much of a problem (you winning is actually her stopping to shoot at you because she thinks you have learned your lesson, as is evidenced by what she says if you loose to her), but in ZUN-written supplementary material (http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/A_Flower_Blooming_Fragrant_Violet_Every_Sixty_Years), Yukari admits to being no match for Shikieiki. The only question here would be if she is merely the undisputed master of danmaku battles or if her yamahood enables her to go "lol, overruled!" on Yukari's powers. Both seem entirely plausible, really.

I also don't like similar things that seem to completely throw off a character's established personality (Various Ran portrayls, Tsundere Alice, and I never thought of Wriggle or Utsuho as being particularly stupid enough to earn Team 9 or (6) positions)...

Also I rather enjoy the McDonald MAD Mixes (McRoll, etc. etc.) - I keep a whole playlist of em.  But with that said, I enjoy MAD mixes anyway for no understandable reason.

Post by: Alfred F. Jones on January 08, 2010, 08:41:03 PM
This is really quite a shame.

Oh, I'm fully aware. The problem that comes with fanon personalities is that if fanon taints a character enough for you, you won't even have an interest in looking at canon to give them a chance to redeem themselves. I can't stand Yukari or Remi, for example, but I'd like to think that I give them every chance I can to make themselves improve in my eyes (hence my adoration of SWR Remi, who is the best Remi ever.)

However, Mannosuke's bullshit pushed Rinnosuke past the line of no return and now I'm not even interested in him enough to read the canon and give him a fighting chance. THAT'S how much I hate Mannosuke. No other meme provokes me the same way this one does. (Slut Sanae and Koishi's penis obsession come close, but at least I liked them to begin with.)

Well, anyway, moving away from things that make us rage

What is your favorite head accessory in the series?

Anything ranging from Shikieki's fancypants-superhat to Suika's horns.


I'm gonna go with Sanae's hairclip/snake hairband. I think they look really cute on her, and I love how they symbolize Kanako and Suwako together, without really drawing attention to themselves (mostly in MoF/SA where you're just gaping at the neon green mass that is Sanae's hair :V).

HM to Koakuma's head-wings and Aya's adorable little hat with the cottonballs on it.

Remilia's hat is cool too. I've always seen these two hats as the classic "ZUN caps" for some reason.

Also,

The fact that Remilia doesn't consciously control her power. :V People need to read PMiSS before making assumptions about everyone's abilities.

...Look again. It doesn't actually say that she can't use it consciously, it just says that it's unsure whether she actually does so when it affects people <_<

Tie between EX-8 and 10-8. Pandemonium wins for being incredibly difficult and fun for all the right reasons, but Shiki's Cleansed Crystal Judgment is probably one of the things that made me love her (and Aya) so much. Confronting, fighting, and beating your own sinful self in the final battle? Holy hell, Shikieiki, could you get any more awesome?

Dishonorable mention to Five-Coloured Turtles, as it is the sole card responsible for starting me on the path to complete hatred of Mokou.

For some reason I am not too sure of, I really like Tewi's second card (4-8). Yes, it is basically just "BOUNCING STREAMS OF CURVING BULLETS EVERYWHERE AAAAAAA", and it quickly degenerates to "let's just sit in the middle and hope nothing hits me", but I still somehow like the sheer craziness of it.

Honorary mentions to Cirno's exploding bullets attack (Minus K?) for being the only card I can remember prior to level 4 (which, by the way, is the last I have cleared) that isn't just random dodging, and to 4-9 for being the only card outside of level 1 that I captured on my first try.

Well, gotta update before the internet shuts off here. :(

What is your favorite Last Word from IN?

Much like StB, I hate IN in general and think it's by far one of the worst games in the series. But the idea of Last Words is, I think, a really cool idea (you'd think I'd like StB since it basically is just a LW collection but :V).

I'm gonna vote for Yukari's card, Danmaku Bounded Field [Phantasm, Foam, Shadow], for being the first LW I captured and also incredibly fun, despite all the memorization involved (it's also much more fun if you do it no-focus!).
HM to Tei's Ancient Duper for doing exactly what the name implies, but once you figure it out it becomes really fun to play (and especially to time out).

Very dishonorable mention to Remilia and Marisa's cards for being made of ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

Yukari's

Honorable Mentions to Wriggle's and Eirin's.

Dishonorable mentions to Sakuya's(I haven't gotten close to a capture or timeout since my capture), Mystia's for walling me any time I try to time it out, and Kaguya's.

Interesting fact: 1st one I captured was Keine's and the 17th one I captured was Ex Keine's.

and Marisa's for Ohmiga--- large mobilized Spark o_o;;

HM for Keine's for happy evasion from bullets being shot behind you, and Yukari's.

Catching up:
Power goes to timehax ZA WARUDO; HMs to Mokou's Phoenix (Immortality++), Shinki for being a GODDESS (and none of this Kanako tomfoolery neither), Yuka for taking something like Flowers and turning it into DIE DIE DIE HA HA HA HA HA HA HA, and Kogasa, because she is surprising.

Least favorite meme is a tie between yukkuris (CREEPY AS HELL) and McRoll etc. (see yukkuris).  But almost every one of them gets a DHM.

Head accessory...Keine's lunchbox-on-a-head.  HM to the Prismrivers' hats, and Rumia's ribbon, because she can't take it off.  And Suwako's Hat, because it's capitalized in its own right.  And Koishi's hat, for reasons that would take too long to explain.

StB: DO NOT WANT

A bit early (though right on time from Serafie's schedule), but I'll forget if I don't do it while it's fresh on my mind.

What is your favorite handheld accessory?

We've done head accessories, but what about those ones the characters hold? Everything counts, from Mima's crescent staff to Orange's baton, from Yukari's parasol to Remilia's Gungnir.

As for me, there are a lot of cool ones, but nothing beats Elly's boomerang scythe. Honorable mention goes to Yuka's badass parasol.

We're a half-hour into the new day on the USA's East Coast, so I'm jacking this.

Who has your least favorite hair?

(I had a feeling that "Who has your most favorite hair?" would get a lot of responses that were people's favorite characters, or at least in their Top 3 or so.)

Judge on any combination of style and color you like. Try to ignore any existing accessories, though.

My vote here is for Kanako. The first time I saw her I thought she was a poodle and I frowned. Now I think she's a poodle mixed with Alice from Dilbert and she still makes me frown.
Title: Re: Three Daily Touhou Bests!
Post by: Azinth on January 13, 2010, 05:48:49 AM
Nue's for being horrendously ugly in-game, though luckily I don't see it very often.  Kanako's hair manages to get a chuckle out of me at least.

Kanako's.

For some reason I don't like hair around that length on fictional characters (with a few exceptions). And it looks poofy in the ZUNart. I don't like poofy hair.

Really, I dislike Kanako's design just because of how much I can't stand her hair.

Who is your favourite non-game Touhou character?

That's right. This is anyone who is introduced into the Touhou series and do not appear in any of the official games whatsoever. Examples are Akyuu no Hieda and Rinnosuke. Even mentioned characters are okay, like Youki or Mr. Kirisame :V

For me, it would have to be Watatsuki no Toyohime <3 Oh god after the Inaba comics I just fell for her. She's hilariously adorable, and I'm a sucker for happy-go-lucky characters. And I don't think she's THAT much of a bitch compared to Yorihime, even though she's horribly broken with that fan of hers. Still, lovely pure Lunarian is lovely, and the only Lunarian I like <3 (Reisen and Reisen II are okay too, Kaguya is...meh).

Baddest motherfucker the Touhouverse ever did see.

If I have to pick an original character I choose Watathingy no PurpleHime because she's really hot.

What's wrong with Kanako's hair :V

The first time I saw her I thought she was a poodle and I frowned. Now I think she's a poodle mixed with Alice from Dilbert and she still makes me frown.

What is your favorite spellcard background?

I think I might have to go with Utsuho's, for adding so much atmosphere to the battle plus THAT CAT, or Koishi's for being really pretty.

HM to Sanae's for being really damn helpful in capturing Nine-Syllable Stabs and Yuyuko's if you count the fan.

Oh hey, I'm from Taiwan too. My family usually take about 2 days to adjust to the time zone change. As for me, I don't think I've ever adjusted yet. And living in the US like that is very bothersome, naturally waking up at 3PM and getting sleepy around 9AM. Basically, I sleep when the sun is out. Anyways, adjusting to the time zone change is about 2 days, and no more than a week for people who are unaccustomed to jet lag.

As for background, I would have to pick Yuyuko's.

See, the effect is rather lost when every single extra boss (not counting Ran) until Nue does the same thing. :\

Nothing compares to seeing the aftermath of this attack (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zhBuDOcZE0#t=4m00s) for the first time.

All of Eirin's nonspell backgrounds, if they count.  Not because any of them are mindblowing on their own, but because of how they're constantly changing though the fight.  It's a really cool effect that you don't see anywhere else in the Windows games.

The death fairies are the fairies, one per game, that appear and fire a shit ton of bullets and usually are tougher than the average fairy to boot (I never really considered the twin fairies in final B as death fairies since the method to kill them makes them really easy). As I consider them, they are in:

EoSD extra
PCB stage 4
IN extra
MoF stage 6
SA stage 4

One of the defining characteristics of a death fairy to me is that they don't have a lifebar and therefore aren't proper midbosses. They simply appear and look the same as a normal fairy, but have a lot more firepower. But if you guys want to include them, I'm not gonna stop you.

@Jaimers: I once gave that fairy a mock-tragic story about how she worked so hard to become a midboss, inspiring all of her friends, and then the heroine just mows over her like she's nothing. :V

What is your favorite character title/description text?


In case that confused anyone, these are things like Reimu's Wonderful Shrine Maiden of Paradise, Sakuya's Perfect and Elegant Maid, Marisa's Ordinary Magician, etc.

If you need to, look them up on the wiki. Even the midboss only ones have these, and it's different for some characters in different games.


For me, Hell's Traffic Accident

Honorable Mentions to Super Youkai Warhead, Little Sweet Poison(despite how much I hate Medicine), and Thoughtless Not-so-Thoughtless Daughter of the Heavens.

Edited because that Kaguya title mentioned on the IN Character page wasn't an actual one.

Though it's not her real title, Eternal Shrine Maiden is an awesome title (as my custom title never being changed might indicate).

But because it isn't, hmm...I've never really paid attention to titles, but after reading the big list on the Touhou wiki, I have to say I like Beauty of Everlasting Darkness for Yuka. I also like Youmu's "Half Human, Half Ghost, and Half-Baked."

EDIT NOBODY WILL EVER SEE AND IF THEY QUOTE IT AS PROOF THEY GET A DONUT: Oh wate Eternal Shrine Maiden was Reimu's title in Shuusou Gyoku, so that's my vote.

As you can see, she was given that in MS, so it was before she was known as a puppeteer.

Probably cuz she was considered a demon at the time. Also, she was an EX boss with a deadly Grimoire, so that probably had something to do with it.

Jackin' again.

What is your favorite Extra Stage Midboss?

This didn't appear in that giant list in the OP so I assume it's okay.

I am torn on this. Kanako is the fight I enjoy the most, but every bone in my body resists the idea of voting Kanako favorite anything.

I...think I'll have to vote Kogasa. Third card is whoafuck but the first is fine and the second is loads of fun. I also like how it played into the whole "surprise" gimmick.

Post by: yoshicookiezeus on January 18, 2010, 08:51:20 AM
Keine, since she is the only one (out of the two Extra midbosses I have actually fought; the other one being Chen) whose attacks I can somewhat deal with.
Title: Re: Three Daily Touhou Bests!
Post by: theshirn on January 18, 2010, 09:15:30 AM
Non-game characters aren't real.  Favorite figment I guess goes to Youki (blame the Life of Maid ones for that).

Background has to go to the Radioactive Cat, but Shinki, Eirin and Sakuya all get HMs.

Death Fairy I hand to EoSD Extra's; as bad as I am at it (pretty bad, actually), it's during one of my favorite parts of the music. :V

Title: I've always had a few favorites: Super Youkai Warhead probably takes this, but Fantasy Legend puts up a very strong fight, as do Hell's Traffic Accident, Flower Master of the Four Seasons, The Cheery Forgotten Umbrella, The Little Pandemonium, The Closed Eyes of Love, and especially The Crimson Watchguard.

Extra midboss: Despite the fact that I'm terrible at her cards, this I give to Horatio Keine.  HM to Patchy, who is fun, and Kanako, who is easy.  And Nue. (If you don't get it, you need to play LLS more.)

HOHO I'M DERANGED MIKO Sanae
I lol'd.

I hate how all her bullets suddenly speed up a ton right before she switches waves. Although, thats probably just because of slowdown... ^^;

Anyway, Kogasa. She's got pretty fun spellcards, and really; that last one makes me freak out no matter how good I am at it. Its awesome.

Kanako probably, her cards are awesome and I can capture them consistently. Espescially like her last one, I'm using a very weird movement tactic which somehow turns out the same every single time.

In general I don't really like the Extra midboss fights, so I have to give this one to
That Damn Glowing Orb. Midboss Nue.
Nice and random, not too difficult, and the whole 'fight', if you can call it that, is survival and keeps changing phases before any of them get boring. :V

Favorite Character Title/Description Text

Hells Traffic Accident made me laugh out loud when I first saw it, so it wins.

HMs to Symbol of loneliness and death (S. Aki), Half-human Half-ghost and Half-baked, and Turtle


Extra Stage Midboss

Never fought one. :V I like Ran and Kogasa though, so lets go with that.

Post by: Sen on January 19, 2010, 12:58:16 AM
I'm going to be totally honest and say that I completely forgot to make a question for today. :V

Favorite character title: I'll be boring and say Hell's Traffic Accident and Nagging Helpful Lecturer or whatever Shiki's title is in StB. HM to Hyperactive Monster Cat.

Favorite Extra midboss: Kogasa. She used to be completely impossible for me, but after figuring her out, she's actually ridiculously fun to fight. That, and seeing her as the Extra midboss was a genuine shocker, especially since everyone mocked her for her "power to surprise humans."
Title: Re: Three Daily Touhou Bests!
Post by: Sen on January 19, 2010, 04:19:08 AM
So since Shim is back, I don't have to forget to put up questions anymore :V
However, this is one that I've been wanting to ask for the past few days, so...

What is your favorite survival card?

The ones where you can't hit the boss (MAlice Cannon on Possessed by Phoenix doesn't count), and your only option is to time it out. In case you can't remember them, every Windows Extra boss has one as their penultimate card, Murasa and Aya have one on Normal and above, along with Ressurection Butterfly, Hourai Elixer, Kaguya's Last Spells, and Yukari, Marisa and Reimu's Last Words. Not sure about PC-98 bosses.

I'm gonna go with Response [Youkai Polygraph] on this one. Koishi has to have the most flat-out fun bossfight in the series, and Youkai Polygraph is just a blast to play, I think. The amount of grazewhoring you can do is also delightful.
HM to Flandre's Secret [And Then There Will Be None?] for being fun in general, plus surviving the last few seconds makes you feel like fuck yeah I just did that.

Very dishonorable mention to Murasa's Sinking Vortex card which has put an end to so many perfect UFO Stage 4 runs :(

Nope... unless you want to count those timeout phases in LLS.

Anyways, going with "Peerless BS Wind God" (and nothing lower). Followed by "Suwa War".

DHM to Ghost "-foo-" for being easier at higher difficulties, and harder at the lower end (that is, Normal).
Title: Re: Three Daily Touhou Bests!
Post by: Polaris on January 19, 2010, 04:31:44 AM
I'll have to say Response [Youkai Polygraph] as well, since the concept is really cool and the pattern is awesome as well. Second place is [Nightmare of Heiankyou], because it looks really fun to do.

Resurrection Butterfly, since it's really pretty (and I don't think I have ever gotten to any other survival cards apart from Eirin's and Kaguya's final spells). Honourable mention to Danmaku Bounded Field/whatever the IN version was called for looking generally awesome.

Cirno probably has the easiest Lunatic, too. Utsuho's Jupiter spell (or Uranus or whichever planet it was) is probably the only significantly difficult spell in the entire thing, once you realize the correct way to handle things.

Oh, and either Goliath Doll, Nightmare in Heianyoku, or Danmaku bounded Field. They all have a unique and defining quality that makes me love them.

Perhaps it would only be a matter of learning which moves are the most useful, but I can't get past stage 1 with Cirno on lunatic. :< I still suck at fighting games, it just so happens each of the fighting games has someone who has an AI breaking attack (Yukari in IaMP), absurdly powerful moves that are god tier against story mode spell cards (Youmu in SWR), or have a great and easy to do combo when the opponent's spell gauge is drained (Meiling in UNL). Without stuff like that I'm an easy modo fighter.

Now, Until the Moment You Die

or Let's All Die Together.

Maybe I just like people dying in titles >:

Perhaps it would only be a matter of learning which moves are the most useful, but I can't get past stage 1 with Cirno on lunatic. :< I still suck at fighting games, it just so happens each of the fighting games has someone who has an AI breaking attack (Yukari in IaMP), absurdly powerful moves that are god tier against story mode spell cards (Youmu in SWR), or have a great and easy to do combo when the opponent's spell gauge is drained (Meiling in UNL). Without stuff like that I'm an easy modo fighter.
It helps a little to try out Normal/Hard first, to get used to the spellcards (since you do most of them the same way on Lunatic, after all. Once you don't get hit by them much, it doesn't matter which difficulty you play for almost all of them.)

Also, Youmu actually isn't the best choice for SWR since she doesn't have a continuous dash, and about god tier spell-killing... Reisen can hax out everything with 3 perma-buffs from Grand Patriot's Elixir and a fully leveled skillcard. Youmu was probably a good choice though because you can really feel proud about winning with her. Same with Meiling in UNL, because Cirno 1cc feels like cheating  :V

And basically to kill spellcards with Cirno, you usually use 5C and/or her default 236, and sometimes 6B/C. Throwing in other stuff can help, and 6C's piercing is awesome. Stack your deck with buffing system cards and four 236 skillcards, and many spellcards can end as soon as you get one Spell Break on it (Even Aya's system card was surprisingly helpful). When you spell break something, AAAA 5C 236B and then whatever after.

Oh, and on Sanae's second spellcard, it doesn't cost spirit to graze the frogs, abuse that fact to clear them out, along with maybe some 6C.

Now, Until the Moment You Die is a weird title. :\ If it were saying what it sounds like it'd be awesome, but the "now" it uses is the same that Byakuren uses when she says "Now, in the name of the three treasures~" Taken into that context, it's nothing but a sentence fragment.

Hm... Actually a tough choice between Flower Land (Opening is <3 ) Riverside View, and Fate of Sixty Years... Eh, gonna go with Fate of Sixty Years for the overall quality in the original. Flower Land mostly has the opening to speak for it, and Riverside View... Nice, but really its quality comes out more in remixes than the original IMO.

Post by: Kilgamayan on January 21, 2010, 07:34:23 AM
All of them, because they're all great. Except for Mystia's.

If I had to pick one, though, it'd be Higan Retour. Easily my favorite penultimate boss song in terms of belonging to a penultimate boss (as opposed to the quality of the song itself). Every other penultimate boss song is ramped up with agitation and whatnot while this piece doesn't give two shits about anything and just lazily floats down the river.

PoFV is the one game which doesn't really have all that much memorable music, imho. I think I'm going to go with Spring Lane ~ Colourful Path and/or Higan Retour ~ Riverside View in the end, though.

(Dis)unified Field Theory of Magic, for obvious reasons :P

Also, all you people actually liking Danmaku Bounded Field yesterday should be ashamed of yourselves. Pure memorization clusterfucks are awful and should never exist, if I wanted a rhythm game I'd play StepMania instead.

Either ReimuB or ReimuC.

DBDB just sucks. I couldn't even get past MarisaC's first spellcard when trying to unlock the stage and I haven't tried enough on the others. There's also the fact that I haven't even captured all of MarisaC's on Normal either.
Title: Re: Three Daily Touhou Bests!
Post by: Alfred F. Jones on January 22, 2010, 05:52:01 PM
ReimuC, easily. High speed dodging with no focus? Yes please. ReimuA is fun too, even if Satori's version of BoWaP is pathetically easy next to the real thing.

SA? Marisa? Who's that?

I wanted to nominate MarisaB on a matter of principle but I rage so bloody hard at Philosopher's Stone it's not funny.  Those bullets are HUGE and I can't for the life of me capture that spell even on Normal.

The ReimuB fight is pretty fun though.

Any of them. Imagine Lunatic BoWaP, except slightly faster/denser, and you have to be constantly in charging mode because if you don't take all the pictures fast enough BoWaP will loop and send a huge wave out and it will literally just be a wall. :V
Title: Re: Three Daily Touhou Bests!
Post by: Bananamatic on January 22, 2010, 11:54:21 PM
watched a replay, it actually looks easier
you can photo her just after the wave part which eliminates that gay clipwall.

also, less pressure in StB. Fail, try again, repeat until you succeed.
SA - nothing better than a light speed clipwall on a 1cc attempt
fact: BoWaP made me lose 2 lives on my Hard 1cc.

Nitori!Satori of course. The hardest is by far, the best of them. It more or less screams to me that I need to get better too.

Question, question... Let's see what hasn't been put on that list yet...
I'm certainly not thinking of many good ones, so... err...

What is your favorite Last Spell?
Please don't mix up Last Word (http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Imperishable_Night:_Last_Word_Spell_Cards)s and Last Spells please. There's one Last Spell per Stage with the exception of 6B, which has five.

I'm going with th (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5818)is (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5819) because... well... it kept me occupied for about 4 hours on and off.

Title: Re: Three Daily Touhou Bests!
Post by: Garlyle on January 23, 2010, 11:56:48 AM
Actually I don't mind Last Words at all from a gameplay standpoint.  They're a bonus phase with no penalties, a chance to score extra, as a reward for players who're doing very well.

...Anyway though, my personal choice would probably be... Fantasy Seal -Blink-.  Yeah, I think that's what I'll go with.  I'm not actually too fond of any of them in actual design, unfortunately.

However if I can, I'd like to pick the entirity of End Of Imperishable Night as one card.  That is my favourite part of the battle; there's a bit of relief since you can no longer actually fail, but a tonne of tension about seeing the climax through.

lol, aside the scoring bonus on those spells. Final/Last spells are also required to be captured in spell practise or seen during gameplay for unlocking purposes. They are anything but stupid because it is "one mistake it is over" card.

Final Master Spark as last spell here. Because it is Marisa.

Whoo, catching-up time.

Favorite Satori Battle - Ehhhhh, Satori. Most of them, I have one or two cards that I love and then I hate the rest. Tengu Macro Burst is really fun, and so are Princess Undine and Pandemonium. I can't remember Alice's battle, I hate Yukari's battle, and Nitori!Satori should just go drown in her own Glimmering Depths :V

Last Spell - pfffffffffffffff, IN
I guess if I have to choose one, Reisen's, for being horizontal and thus completely different from everything else in the game.

Rika. She shouldn't be hard, and usually she isn't, but due to lol SoEW mechanics, occasionally I clip her bullets and it's back to the 2:30 worth of snoozefest known as stage 1. Dishonorable mention to Yamame. YAMAME'S SO CHEAP, SHE PAYS THE GUY TO "PLAY DANMAKU" WITH HER!

Yamame. She's the reason I have over 200 attempts on Kisume's midboss card on one of the shottypes. Fucking opener. Final card sometimes gets me, but not as much as that.

Minoriko also gets a mention for how easy it is to die on some of her stuff.

Wriggle's fine as a boss, it's her midboss that fucks a run up, not the boss fight.

I found Rumia's fight kind of boring (managed to clear it on my suicidal Lunatic runs with only 1 error every time, and I'm an Easy/Normal player). I don't dislike her as a character, and I haven't played much PC-98, but I'll stick to that answer.

Oh right I said I'd do this today. :x  Here's one that hopefully might make you think a bit:

Which Touhou boss has the prettiest bullet patterns?

lol no PC-98 4 u

I'll be my biased self and go with Yuyuko.  PCB was my first Touhou game, and her boss attacks were the first to truly blow me away with their visual aesthetic.  HMs to Eirin for the cool use of the red/blue motif and Sanae for starmaku.
Title: Re: Three Daily Touhou Bests!
Post by: nintendonut888 on January 25, 2010, 06:06:42 AM
It's funny; only recently have I actually begun to look at the bullet patterns themselves again. I'll have to abstain from answering for the same reason I can't answer the song title question: There's so many it's impossible to keep track of them all long enough to form an opinion. If I had to answer right here and now though, Kaguya's keep coming to my mind as particularly good, especially her last spells.
Title: Re: Three Daily Touhou Bests!
Post by: Formless God on January 25, 2010, 06:09:16 AM

Pretty, eh?

Tough to call.  VoWG is bloody glorious, as are almost all of Yuyuko's attacks, and Danmaku Bounded Field, but I think i give this to Mokou for throwing Phoenixes at you and for IMPERISHABLE SHOOTING (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oD9lM-jOrJg&fmt=18#t=3m58s) (that gets me every time).

Gotta give this one to Byakuren. All of the cards are very interesting to look at, especially LFO; playing through that card feels less like dodging bullets and more like dancing with them. And of course, Devil's Recitation, which I don't think I really need to explain. :V HM to Kanako.

I kinda wanna lame and play favorites, but I think I'll hand this one off to Eirin. I like the patterns her spell cards make more than anything else. I will say that Patchouli's spells are very pretty, though... And I like how they can all look different yet retain the Wu Xing theme.

Title: Re: Three Daily Touhou Bests!
Post by: Helepolis on January 26, 2010, 08:31:58 AM
I was going to mention Alice, but then I realised it is the touhou boss. Alice's last word: Phantom of the Grand Guinol is imo one of the most beautiful patterns. But for the boss I have to go with:

Kirisame Marisa. Overhyped Satori or stupid Koishi have nothing on her.

Astroid Belt, Event Horizon, Non Directional Laser and Shoot The Moon. These cards 'blow away' the competition.

Overall Marisa beats them because both her NCs and SCs are colorful and pretty and perfectly fitting the harmony of Music + Danmaku + Character. Without harmony, the boss will be ugly, no matter what kind of pattern it makes.

No new question? Alright then:

What would you most like to see in Touhou 13?

This can be anything - a playable character, a returning boss, a new mode, the game's setting/motif (e.g. underwater) or even the style of the game itself (e.g. VS shooter).

Personally, I'd renounce my faith in Kanako
not really
if ZUN would include some decent Practice Mode options for once. Playing Genetos has probably spoiled me in this respect, but having the option to skip straight to a stage's boss or set your Power level would be excellent. Heck, throw in a Boss Rush mode too while you're at it.

Title: Re: Three Daily Touhou Bests!
Post by: Solais on January 27, 2010, 01:51:48 PM
- Sanae being playable again
- IN style gameplay
- if not IN, then maybe a Phantasmagoria game, I mean we already had another "trilogy"; not to mention a Phantasmagoria game is always a fanservice game (before bashing: ZUN said this in one of his interviews, that PoFV is a fanservice game)
- if it's a Phantasmagoria game, please, reintroduce some PC-98 characters, Makai is open again now, there's a chance for a Shinki

- finish up MoF's story, and introduce the God of the Hakurei Shrine already, and why she's angry. Even Byakuren said in one of the endings that the Hakurei Shrine has a God and it's very angry
- it can work is that God is Mima

- Anything but a Phantasmagoria game.

- Only Reimu and Marisa are playable so that those Sakuya fanboys wouldn't have any reason to piss at anyone else.

- PCB/IN's life scheme.
- Phantasm Stage.
- Getting to a stage immediately unlocks that stage in Practice Mode (seriously ZUN, why the hell do I have to CLEAR a stage before I'm allowed to PRACTICE it ?)
- Spell cards that require skill, not memorization (IN, I'm looking at you)
- And because of that, NO SPELL PRACTICE, PLEASE. It was IN's excuse for its horrible difficulty.

- Underwater settings. Give me a sea already.

I'm very curious as to where ZUN can go in Gensokyo he hasn't already treaded. We've been to mansions, the netherworld and subsequently exploring Winter, the bamboo forest and subsequently exploring nighttime, the mountains and exploring Spring, the youkai mountain and exploring fall, the heavens, underground, and back to Makai while exploring the sky. About the only themes I can think of that ZUN hasn't focused on are water and forests, and since Gensokyo is landlocked...

Anyway, what do I want to see? NO MORE HITBOX SIZE DIFFERENCES. Make a freaking second loop if you want, just don't make me blacklist a bunch of shot types just because they have fat hitboxes.

Well if your PC can run PoFV netplay fine, it could probably run this one fine too. When playing online though, you will mostly see yourself, and the other player will be slightly transparent so s/he won't distract you while dodging. Also, on your screen it will show you overlapping the other player, so you can still locate yourself. The other player may seem desynced, but it really won't matter since the game will really focus on you.

Also, 1up boxes will give BOTH players 1ups instead of whoever gets it first in story mode. Also, if the other player loses all lives, that same player will go into spectator mode until the other player either gains a life or loses all of his/her lives.

Random generated stage. Not having the same fairy patterns over and over again, have them come from the left, next time from the top, MAYBE EVEN THE BOTTOM?!!!

But maybe that would be unforgiving in lunatic, therefor we must have UNLIMITED STAGE! Yes, a stage without an end. You start and face one random patterns of fairies, with different shots/colors/angles, every x minutes a miniboss appears with a certain setup. Either 1 noncard, a card and survival card. 2 non cards 2 spellcards. Or 1 immune-to-bomb card with a big reward if you survive. I guess a this-much-points-per-life system would work best in this mode, with the ammount needed gradually raising. Scoreboards will include difficulty, time survived, points gained, life/bombs left incase you quit early, capture cards consistently for bonus streaks, survive X minutes in a row to multiply points gain by 1,5/2/2,5 etc.

the possibilities are endless  :-\

A TLB should have complete bomb immunity.
It should appear only on lunatic after a 1cc...it's usually the extra challenge you have to do in order to conquer the entire game.
It's not ALL when you die at the TLB. And stuff :V

And it should be reflex based. No memorization shenanigans.

So pretty much every extra stage ever.

Yes, I've cleared a few of those myself, but I am under no illusions that everyone can do the same. Some people are just really bad at danmaku, and they'll never see all the characters in-game that they've seen in fanart.

Banana: That's another possible outcome, and the ideal one. But don't fool yourself into thinking that everyone can do that. I've known people that worked their asses off to beat IN easy (for some reason, they're usually artists; writers and artists tend to be REALLY bad at danmaku, I've noticed), and that's fine with me. Not everyone is meant to be a danmaku player, after all.

Extra bosses do this too; the only difference is that an Extra boss requires less skill than this hypothetical TLB. It would be the logical next step (or few steps) up. :V Come to think of it, I'm extremely curious what a Touhou TLB would be like, since I've only ever seen the Cave variety...

Hey, I've been writing for years and I'm pretty good at Danmaku.  Not Lunatic-clearing (yet), but I'm working on Hard and have come very close to several Hard 1ccs and almost cleared every Windows Extra at this point (KOISHI RAGE)...

...Also I love that the opener for this question mentions Genetos, considering I just beat that on Creator with an S+ while recording and am uploading that now (very very slowly D: )... but yeah.  I really like the idea of an adjustable Stage Practice, considering that, for instance, always starting stage 6 in UFO at exactly 2 power is... highly unrealistic considering it's always either 1 or 4 for me @_@

My personal thoughts:

*I actually liked the UFO gimmick.  One of the reasons I don't like MoF that much is that there's no real reward for risky playing (Grazing), and UFO rewarded you for risky playing in two ways (UFOs and Graze Bonuses).  I like a scoring system that rewards you more and more for playing riskier and riskier.
*More bloody unlockables!  I know it sounds bad but really I'd like to have a return of Last Words or extra characters or an extra extra stage or something.  Having the game deliberately reward you for doing stuff you might not normally strive to do is always encouraging (so long as its not a tedious task).
*I want to fight another player character during the next one.  Whether this means Phantasmagoria or just a 4/8-style "Vs. Other Protagonist" match, I don't care.  I want a variable boss battle.

Lunatic writer/artist here. Daytime job at the bank is an accident, honest.


UFO rewarded you for risky playing
Wrong, UFO kicks you in the teeth, then kicks you in the teeth again, then it kicks your dog. In the teeth. And then that red UFO fragment changes to blue. And kicks you in the teeth.

I'd like to have IN's you-can-get-good-end-on-easy-mode to return.  I can't 1CC any of the games on normal, yet I want to see the true endings.  That's how I usually play games; go through easy mode for the story, then try harder levels for challenging gameplay.  Having to play through the game multiple times just to see the end is really frustrating.

What I want in Touhou 13? Byakuren replacing Reimu as the main character~ *brutally shot, stabbed, and overall mutilated until nothing is left by Reimu fans*

>.<

Maybe also spell practice like in IN, supernatural borders like in PCB, but less game breaking *glances back at Prismriver fight that is easier on Lunatic than Normal* and... Not really sure what else.

Really, as long as it has awesome music, and isnt as UTTERLY STUPID as UFO, I dont have a problem. The UFO system feels like fake difficulty to me, and it is hair-tearingly difficult... Though part of me does like the idea of having somewhere else to go once the other games get easy.

...Actually, one thing I would find interesting to see would be a special mode where enemies have all have more spellcards, for longer, more epic battles. And of course, music that takes account for the length of those battles in that mode, rather than having < 1 minute long tracks on stage 1 bosses  :'(

Okay what? Where's today's question?

Hijack'd

Which Touhou character has the best name?

Yeah. Their names in general. Nick's don't count.
I might reserve that for another day in case we forget again.

For me, I would say Watatsuki no Toyohime because damn that's a long name, or Captain Murasa for having FUCKING CAPTAIN in it, but my vote goes to Koishi predictably. Mostly because every time it's mentioned I just a warm feeling inside of me.

Instead of being predicatbo and choosing Shinki, I'll say Orange has the best name, simply because it reminds me of my favorite soda.

Fatty Whiterock
Kurenai Misuzu
Teruyo

Hm.  I think I'll say Nue for being Exactly What It Says On The Tin (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin).  HM to Chiyuri Kitashirakawa for having the longest name to date and Mystia Lorelei because I like the sound of it.

Shikieiki Yamaxanadu and Keine Kamishirasawa, of course! (They also have the best HATS in Gensokyo! Coincidence? I think not!)

HM to Byakuren Hiziri, because her name just sounds badass.

Yakumo Yukari, good on the tongue.

Hm to Ruro.
Title: Re: Three Daily Touhou Bests!
Post by: Formless God on January 29, 2010, 05:18:01 PM
Koishi and Byakuren Hijiri, of course :V

HM to Letty Whiterock, Lunasa/Lyrica, Yuyuko Saigyouji, Kaguya Houraisan, Fujiwara no Mokou, Shikieiki, Aya Shameimaru and Kanako Yasaka.

I'm definitely gonna have to go with Yukari Yakumo (http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Curiosities_of_Lotus_Asia:_Chapter_25) on this one.
Title: Re: Three Daily Touhou Bests!
Post by: Sapz on January 29, 2010, 06:12:08 PM
Shikieiki Yamaxanadu (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAoUgKVpe10), of course. :V

Yukari Yakumo is a badass name, sorry to follow everyone else. Also like Jana said, there's an entire chapter of CoLA devoted to explaining just how awesome her name is.

HM to Reimu Hakurei. I've noticed that Reimu is one of the few characters where if you type her first name into Google, you'll find results about Touhou exclusively. Is "Reimu" even a normal name? Yuka Kazami is also an aesthetically pleasing name.

I prefer the Western names to the Japanese ones, so Alice Margatroid, Remilia Scarlet, Letty Whiterock and Medicine Melancholy. If I had to pick from the Japanese ones it'd be Fujiwara no Mokou, Nue Houjuu, Yamame Kurodani, Kanako Yasaka and... Captain Murasa Minamitsu, much as it pains me to admit it.
Title: Re: Three Daily Touhou Bests!
Post by: Polaris on January 29, 2010, 10:10:58 PM
Alice Margatroid.
Especially when you say it Arisu Māgatoroido like how you're supposed to say it. :V

Post by: ふねん1 on January 29, 2010, 11:19:33 PM
Alice Margatroid is a good one. Gives off a slight sense of power when I say it.

I'll say Utsuho Reiuji too, but that's because is Utsuho. :V

Let's see, for today, I shall say Mystia Lorelei.

I'm almost out of ideas for questions. So this will be my last. Maybe.

Oddly enough, this question hasn't been asked yet, though many similar questions have.

What is your most favorite Stage 1 Boss?

I choose Yamame.

Does this include midbosses?
If so Shizuha

If this included midbosses, though, Kisume by far.

Nazrin for actually being fun and mostly fair.


Dishonorable mentions to

Rika for messed up SoEW hitboxes and the long stage

Rumia for Lunatic Demarcation

Letty for being boring(at least on Hard, not sure about Lunatic)

Wriggle for her midboss card(or not if I can't use this as a reason)

Minoriko due to near instant random lasers

Yamame for the opener.

Damn do I hate Stage 1 on Lunatic.(except for UFO, and the few I still play on Hard)

Post by: theshirn on January 30, 2010, 11:32:51 PM
Don't know if I'll bother making a fourth, we've asked a hell of a lot of stuff.

I guess Rumia.  Again, I must echo the sentiment that Stage 1 bosses = bleh.
