GiftedACIII 11/17/23 6:54:25 AM #152:	ViewtifulJoe posted... When I was really into the games, whenever I found a song I liked I'd immediately go see if any of the usual suspects had made a good metal/rock version. There used to be a guy on Youtube who would upload multi-hour compilations of arranges for each Touhou 10-12 character and stage. It disappeared at some point. Some of those were peak comfort and it was a great way to find rare arranges. Maiden's Capriccio was one of those songs where for some reason it was always really difficult to find a lot of versions of it I liked. Something about it made people want to experiment and go crazy I guess. dBu was the most consistent one for me back in the day. And yeah, there was a massive purge of Touhou cover channels due to a copyright abuser some time during 2019-2021 but I wasn't following it at the time. https://www.reddit.com/r/touhou/comments/ah2oce/why_have_5_touhou_music_uploading_channels_been/ https://www.reddit.com/r/touhou/comments/mn9ga3/warning_alice_margatroid_channel_is_terminated/ I think there have been a few reupload channels but a lot are probably just gone now. ViewtifulJoe posted... That smaller hitbox was there for a long time, taking it away just seems wrong. Reimu is still the default until the homing shots are taken away. If that happens then I have no idea what ZUN's doing. Yeah, I think it started with PCB TH7 and lasted all the way to 15. Honestly, maybe it's because the first time I played TH (EoSD) I used Marisa, but I've always been partial to the straightforward shot types since the homing bullets are usually visibly weaker and can home into enemies/objects you don't want them to home into. Sakuya A in DDC is a noticeable exception. ViewtifulJoe posted... I liked Tenshi's more than the other two. That was another song that was hard to find good arranges of. Which is kind of messed up because even though it's a side game, it's still a final boss theme. lol yeah she's cool but I just find her a little bratty. Apparently her route is the final canon route so she gets away with everything and beats everyone up. ViewtifulJoe posted... Every now and then I see people try to put Byakuren down with these. Like sure Fires of Hokkai is different and some people like that but did they even hear the final boss theme it's competing with? Orin kind of has this. Her stage theme is a lot more distinct at least. Maybe Yuugi earlier in 11 as well? Aya's a weird case. See I think her stage theme in 10 stomps her boss theme (Which isn't even bad) but then she technically has a bunch of other themes in different games and spinoffs making up for it. I think Keine's far and away the most severe case though. Old World might be the best song in that game meanwhile I struggle to remember what Plain Asia sounds like. And then she's in the extra stage so it's like she has a whole other stage theme for good measure. Now this is just ridiculous to me. Fire of Hokkai is atmospheric sure and is on beat with the enemies on the screen but it's not a track I'd listen to outside of the game at all. Meanwhile, Emotional Skyscraper is one of my favorite TH tracks ever and it's such a well composed piece. It's also the theme that the credits use. Now that you mention it, stage 5 themes in general seem to be like this barring a few exceptions. TH15, 16 and 17 all tend to have much better and received stage themes than their respective boss themes. You can tell that more effort is put into the stage 5 themes too due to how long they are compared to the other tracks. Zwijn posted... My hottest take is that the mainline titles should get console releases. I've seen a number of people share this sentiment but I honestly can't imagine how hard it'd be to play the game with an analog stick. It's hard enough with the precise small movements of a keyboard. --- </topic> <cite>GiftedACIII posted [p:977260413] in Do you hav...

I thought I was seeing an unusual amount of videos with reupload in the description. dBu was pretty good. Consistent/reliable are about what I'd call them too, almost every song gets a cover, nothing about the arrangement gets too crazy. I really liked Iron Attack/Crow's Claw. Demetori was heavier than both but the way they'd rearrange songs was kind of hit or miss for me. There's some good Eurobeat too. GiftedACIII posted...

Sakuya A in DDC is a noticeable exception. That really didn't come up much, the only time I'd really want to target something very specific is in 12 where you're trying to destroy a UFO quickly while a bunch of other stuff's on screen because you're counting on the screen wipe when it explodes to buy you some space. The Reimu-Suika shot in 11 kind of had this covered. They generally always go forward and the homing can only drive them partially to the left or right. I'm still never gonna complain about the homing shots being able to go sideways or backwards when an extra stage is flooding the screen with weak enemies though.

I don't know what to think of Touhou games having canon routes. I'm a fan of the ZUN watching from a distance through a pair of binoculars going "I'm not entirely sure what's happening." approach.

Yep, although I heard even reupload channels were getting taken down at the start of this year. Same, I generally covers that don't stray from the original too much. That's why I generally follow more amateur youtubers too, 3 ones I frequented are RichaadEB, falkkone, and Gametal. Demetori is another name I recall seeing a lot. Didn't they actually do a track in one of the fighting games? 14.5 and 15.5 were cool for how they utilized covers by different circles. ViewtifulJoe posted...

I'm still never gonna complain about the homing shots being able to go sideways or backwards when an extra stage is flooding the screen with weak enemies though. The one I know off the top of my head is one of Sagume's spell cards in 15 where she sends a bunch of destroyable yellow meteors at you. Reimu's is ridiculously hard due to how her homing amulets go wild everywhere and it's so hard it's sometimes just easier to time out the spell by dodging the meteors while every other character can just shotgun in front of Sagume and capture the card relatively easily. The funny thing is that Sanae's also home in that game but her bullets are just super strong and she has the best shot type if it wasn't for Reisen's bomb giving you 3 extra lives with each bomb. ViewtifulJoe posted... I don't know what to think of Touhou games having canon routes. I'm a fan of the ZUN watching from a distance through a pair of binoculars going "I'm not entirely sure what's happening." approach. All the routes in SWR are canon, it's just that hers happens last because she's the last unlockable character and her route references the other routes. When it comes to the other games it's implied that all the routes are canon too due to how they reference all the characters having gone through them. Apparently some games do have a definitive "resolver" (usually Reimu) though and some characters apparently meet the other characters for the first time elsewhere. ViewtifulJoe posted... Hmm, let's see. EOSD Stage 5 > Boss 5 PCB Stage 5 > Boss 5 IN Stage 5 > Boss 5 MOF Stage 5 << Boss 5 SA Stage 5 > Boss 5 UFO could go either way. TD can't remember either DDC Stage 5 < Boss 5 Huh. I actually like Luna Dial much more than Pocketwatch. Might be a hot take but I personally think Pocketwatch is one of the weakest stage 5 themes and weaker than even the stage 1 and 2 themes while I find Luna Dial very underrated and better than the famous Flowering Night. Agreed with Youmu. I can go either way since I really like Reisen's theme but Cinderella Cage is pretty good too. I can go either way with MoF too. Agree with SA. UFO stage 5 >>>> boss for me. It's actually one of the perfect examples where I think the stage theme, Makai city is one of the best stage themes in the game while I find the boss theme very weak, I think Shou's theme is actually the weakest boss theme in UFO. Same with TD. Not a fan of Omiwa Legend but Holy Mausoleum is one of the best tracks in TD. DDC is another one where both stage and boss themes are great. Reverse Idealogy is a top tier Touhou theme but the Shining Needle Castle is also a top tier stage theme. Anyway, I looked up one of my UFO extra runs and it turns I've actually captured her last card once. I've forgotten I've found her so easy I nearly NMNB'd her. Unidentified "Rainbow UFO Invasion of Terror" is the one spell card I really had trouble with her. She's a lot easier than Byakuren where even with 4 extra lives I struggled with her. --- </topic> <cite>GiftedACIII posted [p:977348652] in Do you hav...

Demetori is another name I recall seeing a lot. Didn't they actually do a track in one of the fighting games? 14.5 and 15.5 were cool for how they utilized covers by different circles. I can't remember who did the songs for those but it seems likely. Gametal was okay even if covering songs from all sorts of games made Touhou uploads infrequent. I didn't go for the other two though. When they were new I liked RichaadEB's but the longer I listened, the more they all started to sound the same. Now I avoid them because I know what to expect. There was this Chaosangel guy a while ago and he had a whole playlist of rock covers which was full of winners, it was a pretty good way of finding new circles. GiftedACIII posted...

The funny thing is that Sanae's also home in that game but her bullets are just super strong and she has the best shot type if it wasn't for Reisen's bomb giving you 3 extra lives with each bomb. Looked it up. 15's ReimuA has two shot types so they don't force you to use homing shots, the guy in the video went into slow mode and fired down the middle. Beat the spellcard pretty fast. GiftedACIII posted... All the routes in SWR are canon, it's just that hers happens last because she's the last unlockable character and her route references the other routes.

Apparently some games do have a definitive "resolver" (usually Reimu) though and some characters apparently meet the other characters for the first time elsewhere. Oh well that works too. All the characters meet, final boss gets to look good in the process. Kind of reminds me of how Blazblue CS had all the arcade routes being the final boss constantly rerolling the timeline and getting the wrong results. GiftedACIII posted...

Same with TD. Not a fan of Omiwa Legend but Holy Mausoleum is one of the best tracks in TD. DDC is another one where both stage and boss themes are great. Reverse Idealogy is a top tier Touhou theme but the Shining Needle Castle is also a top tier stage theme. I like Pocket Watch a lot. It's a weird sounding song. And you're in a weird place when it's playing. Not crazy about Luna Dial, but I have heard some arranges that up the intensity. Flowering Night is just one of those songs we've all accepted our fate on. It's going to be in every other Touhou video, like it or not. Reisen's theme always makes me think of the fight. It's just kind of tedious and all the while the song's taking its time getting to that one part. It's not like you can sleepwalk through the fight either. I think Shou's boss theme works best when you're new or trying for your first 1cc. It's going for a threatening sound and that works when that the big green spinning bars come out and you don't really understand how they work yet. Personally, I think Nazrin is the worst case of stage theme > boss theme in UFO. While I was watching the 15 video from earlier I watched that game's stage 5 too. LOLK stage 5 > boss 5. GiftedACIII posted... Anyway, I looked up one of my UFO extra runs and it turns I've actually captured her last card once. I've forgotten I've found her so easy I nearly NMNB'd her. Unidentified "Rainbow UFO Invasion of Terror" is the one spell card I really had trouble with her. She's a lot easier than Byakuren where even with 4 extra lives I struggled with her.

That's why I generally follow more amateur youtubers too, 3 ones I frequented are RichaadEB, falkkone, and Gametal. Demetori is another name I recall seeing a lot. Didn't they actually do a track in one of the fighting games? 14.5 and 15.5 were cool for how they utilized covers by different circles.</quote>I can't remember who did the songs for those but it seems likely.Gametal was okay even if covering songs from all sorts of games made Touhou uploads infrequent. I didn't go for the other two though. When they were new I liked RichaadEB's but the longer I listened, the more they all started to sound the same. Now I avoid them because I know what to expect.There was this Chaosangel guy a while ago and he had a whole playlist of rock covers which was full of winners, it was a pretty good way of finding new circles.GiftedACIII posted... </cite><quote>The one I know off the top of my head is one of Sagume's spell cards in 15 where she sends a bunch of destroyable yellow meteors at you. Reimu's is ridiculously hard due to how her homing amulets go wild everywhere and it's so hard it's sometimes just easier to time out the spell by dodging the meteors while every other character can just shotgun in front of Sagume and capture the card relatively easily. The funny thing is that Sanae's also home in that game but her bullets are just super strong and she has the best shot type if it wasn't for Reisen's bomb giving you 3 extra lives with each bomb.</quote>Looked it up. 15's ReimuA has two shot types so they don't force you to use homing shots, the guy in the video went into slow mode and fired down the middle. Beat the spellcard pretty fast.GiftedACIII posted... </cite><quote>All the routes in SWR are canon, it's just that hers happens last because she's the last unlockable character and her route references the other routes.When it comes to the other games it's implied that all the routes are canon too due to how they reference all the characters having gone through them. Apparently some games do have a definitive "resolver" (usually Reimu) though and some characters apparently meet the other characters for the first time elsewhere.</quote>Oh well that works too. All the characters meet, final boss gets to look good in the process. Kind of reminds me of how Blazblue CS had all the arcade routes being the final boss constantly rerolling the timeline and getting the wrong results.GiftedACIII posted... </cite><quote>I actually like Luna Dial much more than Pocketwatch. Might be a hot take but I personally think Pocketwatch is one of the weakest stage 5 themes and weaker than even the stage 1 and 2 themes while I find Luna Dial very underrated and better than the famous Flowering Night.Agreed with Youmu.I can go either way since I really like Reisen's theme but Cinderella Cage is pretty good too.I can go either way with MoF too.Agree with SA.UFO stage 5 >>>> boss for me.

ViewtifulJoe 12/15/23 12:59:13 PM #169:	Sorry, I got sidetracked. End of the year and some games I was really invested in. I actually randomly caught a glance of a physical Touhou game at the game store the other day. It was surreal. It was a Touhou game on PS4 for 15 golden coins. What an unrepentantly strange future we live in. GiftedACIII posted... Does he lose? Not really, Blazblue just gets more bent out of shape as it goes on. It's more like at the end the timeloop ends because the villain gets the outcome he wants and things proceed into the next game GiftedACIII posted... Do you have a link? There are different results at varying times. And yeah, there are ways to cheese it but the fact that people opt to cheese it instead of fighting it normally shows its difficulty. That's my issue. It's hard to find a lot of things now. It's go no problem giving you musical arranges with no views that just went up earlier that day but the thing you're actually searching is a whole other matter. Personally I think I'd go for the skip. It's only after becoming consistent at 1ccs I occasionally try to one-up my high score. Or if it's one of the games that gives lives in exchange for score, couldn't hurt. GiftedACIII posted... Fair enough. But that still means I don't like the actual melody and composition of the song. Sakuya's EoSD battle has similar circumstances and I still like it a lot for having a distinct Touhou motif especially its final measures. Yep, you described UFO's extra theme perfectly to me, which is why I'm a bit let down by Nue's theme since it slows down incredibly and has a blandish melody more fitting of a stage 1 boss imo. I can't agree with Nue's theme fitting for a stage 1 boss. It's not a high stakes fight or against someone particularly evil. It's an extra stage which means the fight taking a while is a given. It's kind of like you came this far, might as well see the fight through. Song doesn't need to go fast because it's no longer a chase. It's just some random area in the sky and a fight against someone who's not really important but decided to show up anyway. I can enjoy that. A stage one theme to me needs to sound like an adventure starting out small. This one sounds like an adventure winding down after the main threat's over and done with.

But that still means I don't like the actual melody and composition of the song. Sakuya's EoSD battle has similar circumstances and I still like it a lot for having a distinct Touhou motif especially its final measures.Yep, you described UFO's extra theme perfectly to me, which is why I'm a bit let down by Nue's theme since it slows down incredibly and has a blandish melody more fitting of a stage 1 boss imo.</quote>I can't agree with Nue's theme fitting for a stage 1 boss. It's not a high stakes fight or against someone particularly evil. It's an extra stage which means the fight taking a while is a given.It's kind of like you came this far, might as well see the fight through. Song doesn't need to go fast because it's no longer a chase. It's just some random area in the sky and a fight against someone who's not really important but decided to show up anyway. I can enjoy that.A stage one theme to me needs to sound like an adventure starting out small. This one sounds like an adventure winding down after the main threat's over and done with.

On one hand, capturing the spellcards comes off like the canonical approach but after a while, don't gameplay oddities get pulled into fan interpretations and become just as good? Like without ZUN saying otherwise, you can focus on the timeline where Sagume trips over a bomb, botches her entrance and there is no fight. It's kind of like Dark Souls 1. I used to do all the fights normally with different builds. Now that's gotten old and I get more of a kick out of using weird unsporting strategies like hitting Capra and Manus from outside their boss rooms, unplugging O&S' AI and the like.

With Nue it's like "Haha okay you finally caught me, let's throw some lasers at each other." There's no real stakes, so I don't mind the song being calmer. With stuff like 6 and 11, you've found and aggroed the local crazy person so it makes sense they'd have those songs. I do think Mokou's easier than Nue, but it's the same kind of deal. Mokou's not really trying to win because she knows you can only antagonise for a while her at most and her song's pretty relaxed. And I know Suwako's also a no stakes fight but with a livelier song. Difference there is she's a deity whose fellow deity and underling lost to you, so she has to try and win some of her shrine's dignity back. GiftedACIII posted...

I used to follow a few fanworks but eventually I focused on only following the official media, which there are already a whole ton of. The main thing with doing the spell cards is that when I actually try to capture them I notice how they're all pretty unique and it's actually interesting to puzzle out a way to beat them the way ZUN intended without a cheesy exploit. The decimal games like the photography games and the fighting games basically require you to capture spell cards too so I feel that to be consistent with them I should try to cap them in the main games too. I'll admit I used to have fun with exploits too once I discover them for the first time. I remember finding out about the Strikers ditman glitch in resident evil 4 for the first time.

Only problem was that the fps would dip below 30 lol.. I've never played an actual touhou game tho. Not my type of genre. Only know about the series because of little big planet and people who keep mentioning its characters in fictional character battle forums lol. --- I'm a Taurus.

GiftedACIII 02/03/24 6:42:34 AM #193:	Incurso91 posted... The four I've played are not in the style of the mainline games. Touhou Luna Nights - style of a Metroidvania Touhou Scarlet Curiosity - style of an ARPG Touhou New World - style of an ARPG Koumajou Remilia Scarlet Symphony - basically Castlevania 3 Luna Nights is fantastic. Scarlet Symphony and New World play fine, but better to wait for a significant sale. Scarlet Symphony feels awful to play and I didn't get far before I set it aside. The fangames are generally more accessible but I think there's just this level of charm that the original games have. They can be hard but things like practice patches or cheat engine makes it easier to handle. Ratchetrockon posted...
