>Where should I start? the games until 5 were designed for the PC-98 platform, which would require an emulator. It's recommended you start either with the sixth (first Windows game) or the second game (as the first one isn't a bullet hell) and work your way up from there some games aren't your usual bullet hells but should be played anyway 1: Arkanoid 7.5, 10.5, 12.3, 13.5, 14.5: Fighting games The others follow the basics of the bullet hell genre but usually add a game play twist.

tell me about your favorite game, what makes it your favorite in the series?
Juan Flores
Perfect Cherry Blossom. All the shots feel good, two bombs per shot was a fantastic idea and gave shots like Marisa B more options, and border feels very intuitive in general (though it could use some fine tuning). The patterns aren't too over the top, but still manage to stick out in the mind, as well. On the flipside, it's atmosphere is top notch, the ost is fantastic, the characters are all memorable and generally good, and it's overall just a really fantastic experience.
It is certainly on the easy side, though I wouldn't consider that a huge flaw, and characters like Youmu and Yuyuko wouldn't really start to shine until later games, but it's still a really good game regardless.
Oh, and I guess I'm a sucker for winter aesthetics, so that helps. I'm really hoping HSiFS goes full winter for the last part of the game, I'd really love another winter game aside from the two which we already have. Also worth noting that PCB and SA, our two winter themed games, are among the best games in the series.

SA is what got me into 2hu. Everything about it feels just right. The spellcards, the backgrounds, the plot, the atmosphere, and the difficulty are simply perfect. And its cast is among the best in the series. Too bad half the shottypes suck.
Justin Watson
PoFV, it was the first one that I played. Also, I like that you have a wide range of characters to use.
Hudson Harris
I'd expect such an answer from a known shitposter, but let me post my retort. >Forgettable cast that's either defined by singular gimmicks (Wakasagihime, Sekibanki), or feels redundant next to older and more interesting characters (Benben and not-Benben) >Gimmick is too rewarding, can easily bomb spam through things as a result. >Shottypes are dreadfully imbalanced, every character basically has a good shot type and a shot type that you shouldn't use. >Music relies far too much on a low quality midi guitar, rock isn't really ZUN's style. >The Stage 3 boss uses red bullets over a red background while transforming into a large red object. It's even worse than UFO Stage 5 was in terms of bullet visibility. >First game to mark the west's use of botnet autotranslators that hurt in-game performance. It's still like the 5th best game in the series, but it's just so fun to make fun of stupid people, you know?
SA is fantastic, yeah. I'm surprised you think the difficulty is perfect, though.
PoFV is pretty great. Wish we had more people who netplayed it.
Gavin Anderson
PoDD
Sympathetic as heck. Cool music Funny
Wyatt Wright
PoDD is perhaps the most hipster answer possible without going into things that aren't technically Touhou games. It has one thing that sets it above other games, and having neat cutscenes isn't nearly enough to save it from being one of the worst designed games in the series.
Gavin Roberts
>known shitposter Says the mikofag that went full autismo breakdown last time
>Forgettable cast that's either defined by singular gimmicks or feels redundant next to older 2hus So most 2hus? Also what kind of gimmick does Waggysaggy have? or Kagerou? hmm?
>Gimmick is too rewarding, can easily bomb spam through things as a result. You literally cannot do this unless you play on low difficulties, which I honestly expect you to
>Shottypes are dreadfully imbalanced, every character basically has a good shot type and a shot type that you shouldn't use. Both Reimu shots are good to use Both Marisa shots are also pretty solid SakuyaB was literally made for scoring so she's good for that
>The Stage 3 boss uses red bullets over a red background while transforming into a large red object. Literally git gud Also you should play MS, you'll have some fun in stage 4
>First game to mark the west's use of botnet autotranslators that hurt in-game performance. Has nothing to do with the game itself Might as well say IN was a shit game because people turned Moko into a meme

Andrew Barnes
>Mikofag What?
>Also what kind of gimmick does Waggysaggy Fishgirl with no personality >Kagerou Werewolf with no personality
They both just exist to set up the plot, and suffer for it. DDC has probably the worst and least substantial early game dialogue in the entire series.
>You literally cannot do this unless you play on low difficulties, which I honestly expect you to Actually it's even easier on high difficulties if you play as Marisa B, the second most broken Marisa shottype ever made.
>Also you should play MS Yeah, I know, white on white, really bad. At least that could be chalked up to technical limitations, but ZUN has no excuse doing such things in UFO and DDC. And you can't just hide bad game design behind a banner of "b-but git gud"
>Both Reimu shots are good to use >Both Marisa shots are also pretty solid >SakuyaB was literally made for scoring so she's good for that Reimu B is actually made completely redundant by Reimu A, which outclasses in in literally every way (yes, even in damage) Marisa A is hilariously bad, dealing shit damage unless you're practically touching the opponent while also having shit range unlike any other shotgun based shot in the series. Sakuya B is a lazily designed shot that ZUN threw in for scorefags, and even then is outshined by Marisa B in that regard on Lunatic and Extra.
Maybe later.
Noah Roberts
A very well constructed opinion, I agree with what you have said and I how the same for the new game!
The first time i fought Seija my mouth dropped when my controls inverted, it scared me but i managed to get through most of it
SA has to be one of my top 5, it was tough as nails and that okuu theme is so fucking good!
we need another PoFV like, i'd like to see a cast and game build like it again.
I have never played any PC-99 games sadly but it looks cute, the cast is nice.
Leo Kelly
Not edgy, just stating the truth. The issue with PoDD, and the reason it's one of the worst games in the series, lies in how it's designed (or, rather, how ZUN put no thought into the design) First issue is in how the main mechanic works. The entire point of the game is to build up combo by destroying enemies and spirits in order to bounce back bullets. In PoFV, the game is designed with this in mind. Bullets travel fairly slowly and tend to cluster, and you are given a method of freezing spirits, allowing for them to be destroyed more easily and adding an element of strategy. As well, the large screen relative to your character means that you have a lot of room to work with in terms of enemy placement, meaning that the player can typically see what sort of enemies or bullets are coming and can plan accordingly. PoDD, meanwhile, has randomly placed sparse fast bullets, which are generally difficult to reflect, and the lack of any reliable method of destroying spirits basically means that their destruction is up to chance, where you hope the spawn in an advantageous position. As well, the screen is incredibly small, making things in general very claustrophobic and overly busy. Strategy in PoDD basically comes down to "hope my opponent is stupid enough to use a level 2, reflect it via enemy destruction, hope you gain an advantage in the ensuing chaos"

>What? Don't pretend
>Fishgirl with no personality >Werewolf with no personality With that logic, almost every early boss is girl + no personality
>the worst and least substantial early game dialogue in the entire series. Are you implying that something like Rumia, Cirno, Meiling is more """substantial"""!?
>Actually it's even easier on high difficulties if you play as Marisa B This only works on Lunatic and if you also know where to bomb, it's only "broken" in the extra stage
>you can't just hide bad game design behind a banner of "b-but git gud" So I guess you agree that LoLK was badly designed, right?
>Reimu B is actually made completely redundant by Reimu A, which outclasses in in literally every way (yes, even in damage) Try doing damagin from the bottom of the screen and see which one deals more damage

Grayson White
>Werewolf with no personality Not him, but fuck you. Even though she wants to go wild, she doesn't like to because she gets all hairy and she needs to clean it up later, and because she is scared of humans. Also, that is basically as much character development most of the characters get.
Also, i bet that she is a great Hanafuda player.

The difference comes in the amount of dialogue, my dear spic. DDC has a small amount of dialogue per encounter early on, and most of it is just plot stuff, or characterization for protags. This does serve a purpose. ZUN is using this time to establish that there's a personality shift between the girls when using cursed items, and when they don't, and the minuscule dialogue early on is likely due to the amount of dialogue that ZUN had to write for this game. It still unfortunately results in an early game cast that just really feels like filler, and they feel as if they're more defined by their appearances and species than their personalities. Compare to EoSD, where you get a very clear idea of what each character is like from dialogue. Cirno is bull headed, arrogant, and idiotic, all of which is established by her dialogue in EoSD. Meiling is dedicated, loyal, but still a youkai and prone to youkai like behavior, this is established by her actions and dialogue.
>So I guess you agree that LoLK was badly designed, right? I think both games have their flaws, sure.

Connor Flores
>He dindu nuffin So?
Luis Cook
Don't worry about a shitposter trying to start shit with you, my man. Miko is a good girl.
Sorry.
You don't really have to mash, though. Just press z rhythmically, like one z press a second, and it'll work fine. You don't actually need to mash it, it doesn't make you fire any faster doing so. Now PoDD, that required mashing like a motherfucker, that was actually painful to play.
Liam Parker
Guess I was doing it wrong then, I always through you had to mash z to get the bullets out it was sort of distracting
Ryder Rodriguez
Nah, most people make the same assumption. One z press makes a short stream come out, and pressing z while the stream is active causes it to continue, so it's pretty easy to keep going without mashing. Compare that to PoDD, which is one shot per press, and that's a nightmare to play. SoEW actually has a similar issue, in that you actually fire more shots if you mash than you do by holding down z.
Hunter Lopez
>difference comes in the amount of dialogue >Thinking that a big dialog == more complex story What a dumbass
>early game cast that just really feels like filler Wow that's almost like every single 2hu game user, you sure are smart (not)
>they're more defined by their appearances That's every single 2hu for you I wonder what you think of the LoLK's cast
Also if you think someone like fucking China has more personality than anyone, then we might have a problem my dear SDMcocksucking secondary friend
>Honestly about the same damage See? You were WRONG once again
>You literally just contradicted your above argument. ? Where? MarisaA deals some great damage if you get close and personal but she's also pretty decent from a distance
>But I'm not, it's literally just a generic shottype that gives you more score because That's not why SakuyaB gets used in scoring, please learn how the game actually works before attempting any kind of serious discussion with someone who actually plays the game

You are the ayaposter? Why is she your waifu?
Carter Lewis
Aya is not my waifu she's still a great 2hu tho
Also don't post non-aerodynamic birb
Logan Young
More dialogue = more opportunity to provide characterization.
DDC's early cast feels more like they just exist to set up the plot, while other early small fries feel more like they exist to provide world building via populating it with a variety of personalities.
I don't see you proving me wrong
Marisa A's damage is probably the worst in the game from a distance. I have used her extensively, I can confirm that.
No, Sakuya B literally just gives you more green items, which are good for scoring, just for using her as a shot. That's why she's the "score" shot, it's not because of any real advantage she has, like solo Youmu in IN.
See, this is why I enjoy arguing with dumb people. It makes me feel smarter. Thanks, Seijafag.
