/2hug/ - Touhou General - 63

Illusory Edition

>So what is this game?
Touhou is a bullet hell game made by ZUN. Instead of ship or robots it features anime girls fighting youkai and such.

>Why isn't this in /jp/
Some Cirno poster made a thread just for a get and now we're here.

>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's drunk abusive cousin
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. Once you're done with the main series you can move on to the fangames, of which some are of excellent quality.

>when you fuck up and forget the previous thread

I love /2hug/! Don't die, /2hug/!
Also did that one user from last thread finish his Koakhma short story?

>Already up to the 63rd general
Crickey, it hasn't even been that long.

I'm not sure if she even started, I haven't seen her around for a little bit.

Time moves too quickly user.

/2hug/'s stayed around, and it'll keep staying. I'd imagine said user's working on it now, or planning on starting whenever. If they were done already, I'd be surprised.

Sure feels that way. I remember when we were still struggling to stay off of page 10 and taking a week to fill a thread, and most of our discussion was just arguing about what to put in the header. And waifus, but that's a constant.

Ayarei is my anti-drug!

>yuri
come on user, get better taste.

Is Hisoutensoku still the best Touhou fighting game?

Remember the times when the thread went archived because no one was bumping it? Good times.

>not thinking it's at least cute and aesthetic

I just want my 2hus to be happy and in love together.

I'd say yeah. ULiL certainly doesn't beat it out and I doubt AoCF will either.

>having more than 1 2hu

>You can only like one character

And?
I ship them with other touhous and cheer for their happiness in their relationships far removed from me.

I just played Ten desires after a long hiatus from 2hu and can safely say that Desire Drive is the best stage theme in the series.

I think The Young Descendant of Tepes takes the cake for that one

>implying it's not kagome kagome that gets your heart racing

Songs that are remixes of other songs are the hypest though.

>mfw I realized that the sea of tranquility was coming up just like I'd read in SSIB

>Best Stage Theme
>not Lunate Elf
Plebians.

Best Stage 3 theme, coming through.

How about we just ask questions?

>what is your favourite stage 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and extra themes? (phantasm is included)
>what is your favourite music CD theme

Winner

>not having as many waifus as you can

>Stage 2 theme: Dark Road

>Stage 3 theme: Nostalgic Blood of the East

>Stage 4 theme: Inter-dimensional Voyage of a Ghostly Passenger Ship

>Stage 5 theme: Too many good choices, probably Kagome Kagome, The Maid and the Pocket Watch of Blood or Mystic Temple

>Stage 6: Tied between Young Descendant of Tepes and The Sea Where One's Home Planet Reflects

>Extra theme: Alice in Wonderland

>Favorite Music CD Theme: Magical Astronomy's Version of Necrofantasia

Stage themes are always so hard to pick...well all themes in general are so good
fuck ZUN is way to good at his job

>0:16
youtu.be/4fndeDfaWCg?t=30

You all don't understand, DD puts me in 100% groove mode in like the first 10 seconds. That and UFO Romance in the Night Sky being a close second.
Kagome is for sure somewhere in the top 5 though

>DD puts me in 100% groove mode in like the first 10 seconds
I get you my man
Though I think its harder to find themes that aren't good from the games
long live ZUN

>A theme that isn't good from the game
fuck that's a tough one. Ichirin's theme maybe?

Does anyone have advice for someone who's survived 15 days in the forest? I've killed a ton of cannibals but I'm afraid they're going to overwhelm me. I'm thinking I should make a houseboat

Wrong thread user, also isn't the forest kinda easy to game?

Even hers is good, I cant think of a single theme from the games that isnt good, CD maybe but I haven't listen to all of those.

The forest? I remember that game. Just lite them of fire should totally work

... is it overkill pasting in the tracks?

has anyone here played Touhou 1
It looks odd but it could be fun
I havent played any PC-98 era games

Sakuya user has, he said he had a few issues controlling it.

hmmm well was worth asking

Just try it yourself, it's not like it's gonna cost you any money, since that torrent in the OP has it plus pc-98 emulators.

Yeah I think i'll give some of those games a try at some point, gotta get my TD 1cc first

What the fuck I swear I hit the indie game thread. Fucking phones

>Stage 1: The End of Spring
>Stage 2: The Bridge People no Longer Cross
>Stage 3: Eternal Spring Dream
>Stage 4: Retribution for the Eternal Night ~ Imperishable Night
>Stage 5: The Japanese Wilderness the Girl Watched or Legend of the Great Gods
>Stage 6: Fires of Hokkai
>Extra theme: Primordial Beat ~ Pristine Beat, especially that drum solo
>Favourite Music CD theme - Merry the Magician

1 The Dark Blowhole, A God that Misses people runner up
2 Song of the Night Sparrow
3 Shanghai Alice of Meiji 17, I don't even listen to it much, I just find it really distinct
4 Fall of Fall Autumnal Waterfall/Illusionary white traveler
5 Maid and the pocket watch of blood
6 Voyager 1969
EX Last remote

I wish I could give 7 some love on this list. At least it has some top notch boss themes.

Which touhou is most beautiful to you and why?

Reisen, her ears are cute, her eyes are stunning (literally in some cases) and I love her long, long hair.

It's not that hard with endless continues, but dodging can be a bit trickier with not much ability to move around.

PC 98 Yuuka.
I love her awesome pants, plaid pattern and (possibly) long curly hair.
Or Parsee.

Daiyousei. I'm a sucker for Green Hair.

She's not my favorite 2hu, but i really appreciate Yuyuko's beauty. Her appearance all comes together to something very elegant, refined, and kind of quiet, almost somber. I mean, unless it's one of those artists that just makes her a vacuum cleaner.

Runners up are probably Seiga, and my 2hu.

The hime 2hus are all very beautiful

I'm really concerned about the lack of rule 63 images in our 63rd general.

We /brohou/ now?

who is on the left

...

Best girl Yuuka.

scars though?

Things get very lewd when you realize that means Rinnosuke becomes the one woman in gensokyo in that world.

Why's Yuuka bathing with Youmu, Sakuya(?) and someone else I can't recognize.

Yuuka's old as fuck, and she's a sadist who loves getting into fights, it's not surprising she's got a few scars.

Given the company, I would have assumed it was Sanae.

>try for a run and see how far I get
>completely flop 4th boss
I hate this

Which game and on what difficulty user?

>right handed grip
>shouldered in her left shoulder
goddammit Miko.

TD on normal, I just need to not go a few days without practicing.

There's no such thing as left-handed soldier?

Later on, I find that Seiga is actually a pretty easy boss, at least on normal.
Are you figuring out the spellcards on your own or would prefer to watch other runs and just practice that way?
Seiga's non spells are easier when you only use tiny dodge and barely move. Reimu is great for this.
It took me ages to capture Goose Canon (one of Miko's) eventually kek

I've been figuring it out I just...got nervous I guess and I have a problem not bombing

The issue is she's crossing her grip, if you grip it with your right hand, you shoulder the stock in your right, not your left. If you hold it with your right hand and attempt to shoulder it in your left, you can't even get a cheek weld at all and the gun is just uncomfortable to shoot, on top of that she's gonna get a fuck ton of hot brass in her face since she can't even put her cheek against the stock.

There are but that grip is for right handed.

Haha fuck, that guy's one hardcore motherfucker, literally taking round after round of brass to his face. Getting peppered by brass like that sucks.

Calm down /k/nerds

no u

Is she naked under that bulletproof vest?

Tank top is what it looks like, just the sketched style doesn't make it super apparent.

This image shows what she's wearing better, bandolier plus a sleeveless button up

Back off /2hug/! Mai can dance way better than you!

Anyone can dance better than me

Name one PC-98 character that deserves to come back and why

Yumeko
Because she's a better non-meme Sakuya

>1 - UFO / MPP
>2 - TD
>3 - DDC
>4 - SA
>5 - DDC
>6 - IN
>Extra - SA / HSiFS
>CD - Japanese Saga

Mima or Elly.
For memes only.

I wanna touch Miko's delicate legs!

I want to eat Wakasagi

Which part?

ALL OF HER

BAD DOG!

Mima. She's got an iconic design, a fun personality, great themes and a decently fleshed out character for Windows standards.
Mima aside, Konngara could work as the fourth oni.
>but she isn't an oni
As if that would stop ZUN.
