Player here, play on normal, can never seem to get past any of the fifth stages. Any general tips for Normal Mode Touhou 6-8?

Also, is it just me, or are the games slowly getting harder?

>>11101645
Just use practice mode on each stage until you can do it with minimal bombs/deaths. 6-8 tend to ramp up on stage 4, so work on getting stages 1-3 perfect. When you have a big cache of lives stored up from those, it's pretty easy to finish off the game if you just bomb through everything.

I don't think the stages are getting harder, I just think that zun is running out of ideas. Case in point most of the attacks in UFO are very gimmicky, and one of byakuren's cards is a carbon copy of shinki's card from touhou 5. Also a lot of the subject matter from touhou 5 was brought back to UFO, hence "Makai" and the same attack:

This is my first Touhou game and I have to say, this is FUCKING HARD.

>>11101893
Cannon-wise I don't think there are any elves, but that character is from Subterranean Animism, and has the elvish type ears.

Not OP but: SA is one of the hardest, if not the hardest. Parsee has attack types normally reserved for stage 6/ex bosses. You will get better if you persevere.

>>11101949
I beg to differ. Pic related.

>>11101934
When I first started I couldn't get past stage 3 on any of the games. Now I've beaten all but 2 of the extra stages. Just keep trying, and try to figure out why you keep dying. The game has practice mode for a reason.

>>11101828
Wrong Touhoufag, our Touhoufag is on hiatus.

I'm not incompetent at 4e though, mind if I help?

>>11101995
I've said it time and again: those are really crappy stats for Utsuho.

>>11102029
Yeah I know. I recently ran a game where she was the BBEG, so I beefed her up a lot and had some of the other characters/areas show up in the game for cameo appearances. None of my players even know what touhou is, and they loved the campaign.

>>11101995
Just because you post some dnd shit, doesnt mean anything. The thread is about the PC games an fanon, which are /jp/ material.

>>11102022
>our Touhoufag is on hiatus.
>hiatus

Why?

>>11101893
Parsee Mizuhashi?

Should I use Shou as a rakshasa, with her underling Nazrin as a wererat, as the artifact-hoarding BBEG of my next campaign arc?

>>11102125
So I suppose it would be better if we just had warhammer circlejerk #109532? Or who can forget the classic d20 "help me build a character to break the game" thread.

/tg/ is a catchall board for games that have heavy player-based input into their design or play. Most of everything in Touhou is fan created which is what makes it fun.

>>11102254
Oh hey, that's the one Touhoufag made.

It kind of needs an MM3 update, but it's good enough.

>>11102137
Not sure, but I've gathered it's a combination of hard-work burnout and coming to grips with the recent downtick in WotC's content-making prowess that'd been pissing him off.

>>11102207
Can't speak for your group, but I homebrewed the stats/abilities for all the Touhou characters in my game, and my players told me it was one of the best campaigns they have ever played. Every now and again it's fun to throw in some homebrew to keep the meta-gamers on their toes.

>>11102296
>the recent downtick in WotC's content-making prowess that'd been pissing him off.

You mean where they improve the game by making classes easier to understand and making every character more customizable by giving them themes?

Because I don't see how that could be a bad thing.

>>11102029
Agreed.

>>11102361
No, you're thinking of the PHB2, which was awesome.

We're talking the PHB3, where Seekers are underpowered, Runepriest's fluff headbutts their crunch, monks are penalized for fighting unarmed and have half the damage-boosting striker standards incompatible with them, Battleminds DON'T FUCKING WORK, and Psions and Ardents have wildly differently effective themes and a dull as hell to boot.

Taht and the shittiness of DragMag lately.

>>11102361
That's precisely WHERE the problem comes from.

The design teams for 2008, 2009, and 2010 were all different ones. The 2010 team decided to take things in a TOTALLY CRAZY direction.

Themes give every character bonus powers for free, which is like objective power creep.

>>11102425

Ouch...

How do I explain to my girlfriend that I'm both a D&Dfag and a Touhoufag?

>>11102207
>Nazrin
>wererat

Isn't there some kind of rat rakshasa? Naztharune?

Hey, the name even fits.

>>11102644
Easy. Just tell her, and then make sure you give her the best sex of her life afterwords.

How much of a crazy cat lady do you believe Satori should be?

Does she really consider animals, ruled by their base instincts and their forthright expressions of emotions, more pure-hearted and comforting to be around compared to two-faced humans and youkai whose hearts hold sin and deceit? Does she find herself accepted by animals who can love a master who can read their simple thoughts and tend to them well, but not by humans and youkai who disdain her for being a telepath? Is that why she lives with so many animals?

>>11102029

Oh yeah, absolutely pathetic.

Hmmm, I'll fix them... brb...

>>11103293

I think that's pretty much hitting the nail on the head there.

But it might not be that she's bothered by the deceit (as it doesn't exist to her) but the others are bothered by her being a reflection of all their weaknesses - being around somebody who knows the entirety of you, when you've never been able to be honest your entire life could be pretty terrifying. But I think you could get used to it, though it would be maybe the most painful start to a friendship I can think of.

>>11103524

I think the problem is equally split between her perception of others and others' perception of hers. Consider how cynical and distrustful you can be towards other people right now. Now think about how much more cynical you would be if you always knew how someone was trying to deceive you or and how someone wishes ill for you, maliciously lusts for you, or covets what you have. Think about how the fears of "What if she hates me?" that normally sit in the back of your head and go away after time can instead bloom into "She really does hate me..." When all of the evils of man and youkai alike are in plain sight, it is difficult to be comfortable around others.

Even harder is trying to keep what you see and hear locked inside your own heart. Eventually, you cannot help but speak out against someone, and the knowledge gets out... and you start to draw animosity. A vicious cycle.

Looking into others builds cynicism. Animals, comfort.

>>11101612
Which one of them is Touhou?

>>11103776
touhou is the name of the series of shooter game made by zun, it is not one of the carchters

>>11103524
Cannon-wise animals were attracted to satori because of her powers, while sentient beings hate her because it's annoying being around people who can read your mind. Koishi on the other hand gained the power to close off the knowledge of what she was seeing, and gained the ability to subconsciously process thoughts and feelings without realizing it. A side effect of this though was that animals that loved her and satori so much were repelled from her.

>>11103810
en sub, i can answr otehr question, i just dropped on 4chan.

>>11101893
it is not an elve, but an yokai, wich is a demon, of jealousy, she just has elven ear.

>>11103810
If they're shooters why does anyone care about the characters?

>>11103937
Because the producer (ZUN) leaves the characters as nebulous as possible while encouraging people, pretty much explicitly, to make up their own idea of how those characters should be.

For example, Cultist-chan. She WAS a blank doodle feeding waffles to a chaos beast. Now what is she?

That's why Touhou characters are popular.

>>11103524
I don't know, I think it could be refreshing to have someone with whom you could be completely honest, even if it's because you don't have a choice in the matter.

Then again I find it hard to imagine there being much to talk about with someone who can read your mind.

>>11103937
the reason why people care about caracther is that, other than the shooters, the artist at the origin of the games makes manga along ith some other, and has defined personalities and family relationships for most carchters.

of course, fandom took off too, andt here exists a big panoply of fanworks about everyday happenings in gensokyo.

in general id say that Zun has made an history, THEN made the games, wich is why every carachters, bar some rarely talked about, have some sort of fanbase and/or thier own personality

of course the reasons for appreciating some carachters, such as crino being the butt of all jokes, is also due t internet memes.

is that a good answer for you ?

The thing is, if you want to be honest with someone, you be honest with them. It is your choice. A telepath like Satori gives you no choice. Do not underestimate how badly people can take being robbed of choice.

This is where you ride in. You post in the thread, adding a "sage" so that we can see your discontent, and then proceed to become butthurt when everyone doesn't immediately stop posting and praise you as their savior for letting them know it was off topic.

As you can see this is probably going to agitate some of the many people who have taken 15 seconds out of their day to post in this thread.

So yes. You are a troll. If you weren't you would have just fucking hit the report button and/or hidden the thread. Do you understand?

3rd party plug-ins for your browser. There are several.

>>11104012

I think there would be plenty to talk about - it's just that Satori would be the one doing the talking.

"Yeah, you're right - they did a great job with the windows."
"Actually, the prices were very reasonable."
"Exactly my thoughts. We should introduce her to Remilia."

You might get a lot of interesting conversations out of the random thoughts that usually flit by and away.

>>11104317

I'm actually statting a properly powerful (but beatable) Utsuho right now. It's not difficult, but as I'm statting her as a monster and I'm tired, I'll probably post it tomorrow - though I've been slowly doing proper builds of the interesting characters, so it might wait a little longer.

It'll be somewhat similar to the crappy one with the numbers higher (much higher) but I'm working out non-shitty spellcards for her. They'll be translations of hers and I think they can work well as battlefield control abilities.

I'm open to suggestions for her abilities - though it is pretty straightforward - and characters to do.

So far I've done:

Alice
Marisa
Patchouli
Reimu/Sanae

Which are the easiest to do.

>>11104425
But when you feel the need to lie to someone, it's ultimately destructive to the relationship. You're lying, so you don't think the other is above lying to you, breeding fear and mistrust.

Meanwhile, if a telepath like Satori sticks around, you can be assured that the fact she tolerates your company is a product of you being yourself, rather than any facade you would put up around other people, which would be gradually torn down, leaving them disillusioned with you.

>>11104650
That's very dependent on how trustful the person you're talking to is.

Judging from Satori's backstory, the other youkai underground didn't take so kindly to her sister and her.

>>11104683
hmm tis a good thing, of course most people would find it unsettling that the person they are hanging out with can read thier minds, imagine what could happens if you have dirty toughts due to a random occurance.(other than hilarity )

i think that satori would make the ultimate bride, if she would find a man that she could stand.

she can read your very heart, so misunderstandings would never happen.

also, as
>>11104650
said, the random floating toughts and just speakin in genral would make for alot of her talking, but little of you, wich could get awkward sometimes if you are with other people and she does it by reflex.

p.s. i just saw that i dont have any satori pics in my collection.. sacrilege !

>>11104837
To be fair, she's unexpressive and has a bit of a bland design. I rarely save pictures of her either.

>>11104837
The problem lies in her ability to use hypnosis and drudge up your absolute worst memories and nightmares and show them to you.

>>11104908
well i had an extensive picture collection totalling 3 gig of standard sized pictures and quite a lot of wallpapers, lost it all in an HD fuck up. im still rebuilding. :/

>>11104974
of course, if you had her for friend and-or lover she would most likely not use her negative powers on you, still, just theorising here.

she is not evil, just an hermit. an hermit that prefers the company of animals to human due to the fact that animals are true to themselves

and whose animals love because shes the only one who understands em fully

>>11104558
Damn my bad english.

Well, /tg/ is anonymous board. (Surprise-surprise!) Anyone who comes here automaticaly turned into member. /tg/ is one of nicer board with many interests aand even if /tg/ finds some content not propriate/retarded/trollfood etc. still such things wont be flooded with million PENIS/NIGGER/VAGINA and other annoying shit.
Also /tg/ takes seriously many things, discussing them. Obviously many guys who find their threads wiped/saged by siht in other boards would be glad to come here and make treads about their interests. Which are obviously not /tg/ related. And more than this - tohou clearly belongs to /a/

So, by indulging in such activities people ruin /tg/ and annoy its members. And when someone points that this is not /tg/ related answers are in trolling manner - thats not your board, we decide what related and what is not cuz we are members ( hurr durr anyone is a member)? why you cant allow us to have fun lke we want? Damn you act like furries already.

It brings nothing, but hate and resentment towards you. So with each day fa/tg/uys would take it less and less seriously, care less and less. Discusion club would be disbanded and you will find your threads wiped with image macroes and offencive words, written in caps. You know thats like majority immigrants. who run away from they country to live in better place, but trying turn this place in their old country.

>>11105050
Last I heard they made a PnP system for Touhou. That makes it /tg/ related. Unfortunately.

>>11105065

>>11105130

>>11104974
>her ability to use hypnosis and drudge up your absolute worst memories and nightmares and show them to you.

Hypnosis, yes. That's her one original spell card.

Traumas and nightmares, no. That's just her plucking combat techniques from your mind and using them against you.

>>11105050
>So, by indulging in such activities people ruin /tg/ and annoy its members.
>thats not your board, we decide what related and what is not cuz we are members ( hurr durr anyone is a member)?

Contradictory. You can't pull the community card and say that /tg/ as a whole dislikes having a touhou thread on here, and then say it doesn't matter when such a thread gets traffic from that very community, including discussion of touhou-related /tg/ material

If /tg/ really disliked touhou as much as you imply, these threads would never go beyond 5 posts. Clearly, it doesn't.

>>11105050
you do realise that there is an existion touhou pen and paper game, aye ?

pen and paper games are /TG/ related, as far as i know.

look upon this thred, ill admit that, like 90% of tg threads, this one has strayed from its original point. but! look inside of it, some people have made incarnations of the carachters in D20 format.

currenlty Touhou Homebrew Guy is makin a Fanmade touhou based roleplaying game

touhou flowers, wich is translated up to the playable point. is a pnp system for touhou, if you feel like looking it up, its here http://voile.gensokyo.org/res/29128.html

lots of people want to make games related to touhou and the setting of the games, wich can be easily translated into roleplay.

id say, for all the subject i have said, and more that exists but i migt forget with my tired mind at this hour. SOME touhou threads belong in /tg/.

p.s. : touhou is not an anime, it does not belong in /a/ ;P

>>11104683
>But when you feel the need to lie to someone, it's ultimately destructive to the relationship. You're lying, so you don't think the other is above lying to you, breeding fear and mistrust.

>>11104558
>It's obvious that the thread is off-topic to a degree, but it's still discussable by a good percentage of /tg/ members that enjoy Touhou.
A good percentage? It's a handful of guys. Maybe even a double handful, at peak times. Not exactly a sizeable minority.

Besides, where do you draw the fucking line? Plenty of people here enjoy dickgirl porn--more, I'd wager, than enjoy touhou--but /d/ickgirl threads still go in /d/. They could make the exact same arguments that you are. That argument could be made for virutually *anything*. "If people are bumping it, they're having fun!" Flare thread? Sure. Porn dump? Of course. Video game? Duh.

/tg/ is full of shit and/or off-topic threads. You don't need to contribute when there's a whole BOARD specifically for that RIGHT OVER THERE.

>Some people may be on the fence about it, or wondering more about it, so this thread was made.
...so you want MORE people to post MORE touhou on /tg/. Great.

>>11105189
Well no. For tread tread to stay on top you need 2-3 intrested posters

>>11105219
If a reasonable person has a friend with whom he is completely honest, he probably won't suspect that person of deceiving him unless given cause. Trust begets trust, after all.

>>11105276

>>11105489
oh realy? so you are discounting any arguements of other people and expect answer in intelligent manner?

>>11105623
....is there a first half?

>>11105576
Not everyone can just "be honest" with someone. More often than not, you yourself are the person you're dishonest with, and you're only misleading your close friend by proxy. A telepath could know you better than you do, and as long as she's sensitive to that fact and doesn't deliberately try to shatter your various self-delusions all at once, having such a friend could be a incredibly enlightening experience.

Why is this on /tg/

>>11105795

>>11105899

>>11105899
Damn, i bet i would figure out a way to use them though

>>11105489

Well, 3.5 is the one that will see some use. Other systems I considered range from GURPS (which could probably model them better - but I don't know as well) to Shadowrun (some characters fit, but generally too powerful for it) and as I know 3.5 better than the majority of players - just a fact, I'm not the Optimisation King or anything - that's the one I'll use. If you can think of a better system I'm all ears, but I'll still do the 3.5 versions.

As it is, 3.5 supports the ultrapower of the Touhous (because that's what Wizards are like at level 20) and is well known. I'll probably get a lot of "TEH BROKENZ" or whatever - but while they will be beatable, they are hideously powerful. Don't expect a Warlock to do anything but fry if it even looks at Okuu - as it is it'd take a seriously on-the-ball party to drop her.

[TROLL?]
Oh and it aint gonna be 4E because characters in 4E can't level mountains or control fundamentl forces or teleport properly or anything like what a 3.5 can, regardless of "balance".
[/TROLL?]

>>11105941

Doh, I thought I had more, but that's it. I know I remember seeing a Cirno 3E statblock and an Utsuho 4E one, but it seems I forgot to save them

>>11105970
i do have cirno's

>>11106020

>>11106020
anyone know who makes these?

>>11106020

That's actually okayish - as she gets Level 9 sorc casting - but the ice shard ability is worthless, it should do 9d6 damage. I'd also give her a set spell list of [Cold] spells and a few SLAs. Spellcards (1/encounter abilities) as well.

If she's a character then she needs a reason to throw Icicles at everyone - so it has to do actual damage. If she's an encounter then the four rounds of combat are spent casting her best spells, which will be just as powerful.

>>11106020
