first for touhou

i like this general so please do your best today and try not to be dead
thanks

Yagawa is cute! CUTE!

Is YGW the embodiment of methodical masterpieces?

>try not to be dead
Just did a 1cc! It was easy but I don't care, you can't rob me of my happiness.

Getting a bit more comfortable with stick by playing SF 3rd Strike, but getting down a dp or ultra is still hell.

In short, yes.
He also has a really big cock, contrary to what might be expected of an Asian man.

Double penetration is hard for a lot of people user, nothing to be ashamed about.

sounds like you are experienced in this

congrats, what was it?

youtu.be/oC_1ZWLOPJc?t=20

I've heard about other people watching educational videos on the subject. Too lewd for me though!

Eschatos. I was tired at failing other games so I decided it was time for a victory, even if it was an easy one. It was a clear I needed to get off my list.

Are Shmups considered as a proper mental and brain exercise?

no, they are considered autism and epilepsy causes

...

Surely they're an exercise of memorization reaction.

Looks like OP is never updated anyway, but this is being released tomorrow store.steampowered.com/app/465060/

>OP still has Mushihimesama and DBCS under recent releases

what's a bigger wall in mushi
level armor bug thing in stage 3 (so like the whole level)
or the dragonfly fucks in 4

Stage 3. I'm assuming the dragonfly things refer to those long enemies with the destructible back parts in the second half of the stage? Honestly I think that half of stage 4 is easier than the first half with all of those stupid locust/beetle things or whatever when they start coming two at a time.

Stage 3, 4 and 5 are all as hard as each other desu. Once you can do 3 without missing too much and get the 1UP the 1ALL is in the bag

yeah the long enemies. the few times i've gotten up to stage 4, they're really annoying towards the end where you're forced (i think) to dodge one that shoots you from behind.

>Once you can do 3 without missing too much and get the 1UP the 1ALL is in the bag
i got to the boss with both original stocks, the 1up from the core and the 1up from 2.5mil, then lost them all like instantly. i'm new to this.
>feel confident
>die with max bombs
every time

Aside from the fact that getting the blade powerup makes it impossible to hit the mermaid boss weak point it's bretty gud.

>>feel confident
>>die with max bombs
the secret is to stop doing this. i'm starting to play for score and i'll still bomb as soon as the game decides to surprise me.

If you can no miss the stage the boss is easy. Make sure you're looking near the top of the screen.

That's where I'm at right now. On a good day I'll no-miss the first three stages up to s3 boss. I just need a run to come along where I don't fuck up in a really stupid spot (like dying twice to stage 4 midboss or something outlandish like that) and hopefully I can clear.

...

no

"Talent" is just another way to say IQ. Someone with a high IQ, that is, the ability to reason quickly and think critically, will learn at a much faster rate than someone with a low IQ, or lack of "talent". Low IQ players can make up for their lack of intelligence by working immensely hard.

Effort and hard work over natural/born talent seems to be a common theme in shounen anime but they always seem to manage to fuck it up by making the main character turn out to be some perfect warrior child with all the right cards dealt to him from birth. See: Naruto, Bleach, and for whatever reason even Dragon Ball changed its own history to do this.

I have no point. Just rambling what's on my mind like usual.

It's intentionally designed that way. They present the characters as an average kid so little Hideo can relate to them before they grow into a cool, unstoppable badass with all of the right answers.

t. played for 50 hours total

Which study was this?

t. played for 500 hours total to achieve the same results

IQ is racist and doesn't exist

t. low IQ

Which is a better investment: japanese Xbox 360 or a good stick?

>not even pretending you played these games before making a statement about what makes one good at them

Good stick.

lowtiergod get out

get a q4 or some easily moddable piece of shit + sanwa parts.

Well yeah, the main character is supposed to be an average shmuck who works his way up the ladder with hard work and determination.

Instead you've got things like Naruto being the son of the fourth Hokage and being the reincarnation of Ninja Jesus or something I dunno I stopped following Naruto prior to Shippuden, and then in Bleach, Ichigo is a buffet of different bloodlines all giving him unique powers, on top of being the son of a Captain-level shinigami, or Goku being the son of the legendary super saiyan from 1000 years ago apparently.

It goes from "Wow this guy started off no better than me and he's working his way up with blood, sweat and tears" to "Wow, this guy had greatness running through his blood the entire time, no wonder he achieved the things he did". There's still some encouraging symbolism to be had there but it's a bit less direct than just having the character succeed through hard work alone.

I would think a 360 is if you're comfortable with playing with a pad or something.

sticks are either a meme or take a lot of time to get used to
be aware of this, it may be that you buy a stick only to play even worse

>100% of the best scores ever done were with a stick
>meme
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm lol?

...

...

Perhaps they would have been even better with a pad? Japanese have no other choice since arcades use sticks.

>takes place on the moon
>boss is flying over a grassy area

...

...

good stick

...

...

Maybe they're bomb craters?
Terraforming?

>video game players
>high IQ

I don't even think you need high IQ to play fucking videogames

reminder that playing more makes you worse

I know.

How do you get better then?

why do they buy sticks when they get console games then

checkmate atheist

What the hell is this dudes problem?

you don't

you need high IQ if you want to be elite

just give up

have a high IQ or play for 20 hours a day

He's just homesick, that's all.

post youre scores

Guys I got an 80% on my IQ test, am I good enough to become a superplayer?

>get a dumb death early on
>fuck it i'll just keep going and try risky stuff that i normally bomb
>play 100x better
>eventually get fucked over because of that 1 death early on
why don't i just restart

>tfw found an old cd with touhou music and arranges burned on it

No, but you may be good enough to get a Western Record.

He went from being a successful and rather wealthy [corrupt] businessman in London to living in the middle of bumfuck nowhere on top of a rock in a nasty swamp while the townfolk shun him and eating bugs and snakes and shit that his daughter cooks while his wife slowly dies of whatever.

I mean he's still a huge dick but I can at least see why he wants to go back to England.

Also he's menstruating.

Sorta kinda a shooting game: humblebundle.com/store/steel-strider

Is this worth the price? The graphics look like shit.

Astro Port owns BITCH

did you buy her game? store.steampowered.com/app/316600/
i don't know if it's even any good, i just liked 100% orange juice

Ok, but is it a good game? Have you even played it? Does anyone even play games?

No.2anime4me

No, but I bought Suguri's.

>is it a good game?
If you like these type of mecha shooters, sure.

is it good? i have that too but i've never played it.

I haven't played it yet either, actually...

But I like playing as Suguri in OJ.

% of the best scores ever done were with a stick
Akai Katana wr is pad as is Gus's in mushi futari 1.01 ultra.

inb4 he says those are memegames and mean nothing

those are memegames and mean nothing

>store.steampowered.com/app/316600/
I've heard it's actually quite solid.

t-thanks psikyo

Also make sure you use your bombs in the milliseconds between dying and realizing you're about to die.

>Gus
>world record
topkeke

He does have the WR for 1.01
A mode no one else plays for score

If a counterstopless version of Futari came out today would Gus be able to get and hold the world record?

What's the best way to dodge this guy's second volley?

stay in the middle

Get out the way

I dodge the first one and then don't move at all.

He was working on a 5 billion run at one point

But if counterstopless came out on steam it would be a piece of shit like all the other cave steam ports and possibly unplayable for ultra.

...

>Ikaruga no online co-op
>Deathsmiles no online co-op
>Xbox versions do though

what's the deal? is steamworks too hard for japs to program for?

They're gonna be running Touhou 10 at the Australian speedrunning event:
