Touhou General -69- /2hug/

Floral Fury Edition

Previous thread: >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.

This artstyle makes me uncomfortable

Wh-what just happened?

Does the janitor/mod wanna explain his reasoning for deleting the thread?

IS THIS NOT VIDEO GAME ENOUGH FOR YOU?

>deleting the more popular thread
Is this board's moderation seriously autistic?

I dunno, I made another thread right after, so we've got two up now. That's the second time now without any explanations. I guess they hold /2hug/ to a higher standard or something?

Nani the fuck?

Maybe because of the roleplaying and a bit of blogging.
Should be mentioned in the OP to tune down the cuteposting especially at the start of the thread.

Maybe? But that's the least amount of blogging we've done in a long time. Sakuya user was pretty much posting play by plays of his runs of SA onwards. So I don't see how that could be the case.

>a bit of blogging
Fuck, guess I better stop posting my runs then, never would've guessed they'd be the end of this general.

>roleplaying and a bit of blogging
>cuteposting
So, literally every thread on Veeky Forums?

I hope not, because that's honestly the thing that pulls the general out of ditches of shit posting.

Must be a newfag mod

Anyway why won't ZUN add basic shit like a key remap option and more than 3 resolutions to his games?

Who knows, after all this time he'd probably have figured it out, maybe he just keeps the same framework for all his games out of tradition or something?

It can't be your fault: if anything, posting runs IS the most gameplay-centric thing you can get.

I mean personal blogging.
Posting game achievement/progression is always fine.

You know 2hu sometimes known to be the worst on those. I don't know.

There are generals with way worse blogposting. I doubt that's the reason.

>his monitor can't make 640x480 look good

>personal blogging
>the only thing we've been blogposting was games and progression
Who fucking even knows man, we're just gonna be left in the dark. There's no way /2hug/ is the worst with waifuposting by far. Just jump on /feg/ or /aceg/, it's pretty much just them talking about waifus and planes.

But other anons have blogposted way more on other threads that didn't get deleted.

>Just jump on /feg/ or /aceg/, it's pretty much just them talking about waifus and planes.

Katawa Shoujo general also still exists.

Is it just me or is the Captcha being a real bitch for the past few days now?

Every time I check the shmup general, it's 30% image bumping, 30% e-celeb shit, 20% shitposting, 20% actual discussion.

>implying jannies read threads before deletion
He was having a bad day, just let it be.

>not using legacy captcha
It's going to be disabled in a few months, so use it while you still can.

I was gonna mention that, but I've never been on it. But given that it's talking about a flavor of the month VN from fucking years ago, I can't imagine it's anything but stagnant waifuposting. Probably what /ddlc/ devolved into.

It can, but it would look even better at 240p

I just noticed that Hina is referred to as "Curse Doll of the Hidden God" in MoF. I wonder if she's working for Okina.

MAXIMUM GAMEPLAY POSTING.

I know, I'm joking, I don't mean to brag but my posts are pretty related to 2hu. I just hope it's a honest mistake and some sort of serious order, if it comes to that.

This, there are generals WAY worse than that last thread, and that thread was the shitteist in a while.

I'd take it to /q/ however anyway mention of Veeky Forums is likely to be entirely negative. Again hopefully it's an honest mistake.

>It's going to be disabled in a few months
What? why? How do I get it back once it's gone? I doubt I can live without it.

never, google is literally evil after all.

Buy a goy pass so this chink can keep evading taxes

Something about Google dropping support. moot2 isn't interested in any alternatives, so we're going to be stuck with captcha v2 forever.

>Curse Doll of the Hidden God
Like, as cool as that would be, ZUN isn't known for really deep foreshadowing. I wouldn't be surprised if the hats on statues thing in IN being related to HSiFS turned out to be just a joke.

Google really wants their automatic driver soon it seems.

Well don't say it like it's a good thing and end up encouraging it, alright.
After all it's better to improve the quality. I'm already glad this general doesn't have any tripfags.

Too bad no 2hu games run at 240p natively. Can you post the Mima picture? I cherished it, but have lost it somewhere.

I'm pretty sure it was a joke. Alice isn't exactly a prankster so it was just Marisa passing the blame to her.

I bet that seijafag is a janny and got so butthurt over people shitting on him he deleted the thread out of rage

I thought only mods can delete threads?

I'm not saying blogposting things outside of 2hu is a good thing, I'm saying that the thread couldn't have been deleted for blogposting since there's been worse cases.
>In Imperishable Night, Marisa says "...And putting hats on statues, it's all Alice's fault." So?
>That foreshadowing finally pays off (lol).
There's a chance.
O B S E S E D

Getting pictures at 60Hz is kinda dificult for my phone's camera without black lines everywhere.
I think I'm gonna pick up another CRT monitor soon. I can't really play anything on LCD unless it's 120Hz with strobbing and even then, the contrast sux

your newfag is showing my dude

I mean, wouldn't we have been able to tell if he was? and that would've been a kinda delayed reaction since there was like 50 posts after the fact.

Can we post 2hu lewds now?

I bet the Lunarians did this. And the Lunarians are just in cahoots with the mods.
fucking moonie lovers.

Let's not risk it, since apparently we're already on thin ice.

Isn't the Moriya Shrine behind everything?

Thank you, user. I miss bathing my face in electron beams so much.

No they want to see their 4chin PURE

There are other way more shitpost-y generals, there are other generals that have way less to do with video games than this one. So fuck that

Fucking lunarians, when will they learn the moon is just territory of the US?

Woah guys does this mean that Cirno and Marisa are related?

Deepest lore.

My only complain about HSiFS is we could have gotten another Western magician as Marisa's acquintances, but instead we get another buddhist magician that I think should be exclusively Byakuren thing. Does Buddhism has relation to magician or something other than super power or spiritualism?

Not that I hate Narumi, though. It's just there could be better choice imo.

Why insist on posting something of low quality instead of improving the thread? You're taking example from a shit thread. "It's okay to shitpost if the others shitpost harder" is retarded logic.

You could always pick up a used monitor for $5 or less

I'm saying it's ridiculous that they try and delete our threads for no reason, when the other worse ones have no problems with this.

I'm against the general being only cuteposting, actual discussion is obviously better.

I will agree it's shit, especially since we've been going for almost 70 threads now, but it's probably not best to try and test the waters if we're apparently under such scrutiny like this.

>Unskipable cutscenes
What is this, 1997? Also I fogot to mention the theme playing here is also fucking awesome.

I'd rather have recurring characters than new ones honestly. We already have too many lost in the void we don't need any more. A non fighting touhou game with nothing but Recurring characters would be great, not like ZUN has a lack of existing material to work with anyway.

The sad part is ZUN really doesn't like re-using characters, so the likely hood of that happening are slim to none.
also, youtube.com/watch?v=UTLqnME57vo Strawberry Crisis is gud shit

Too bad I think it's already his creed to churn out new 2hus in every mainline. The best you can get for returning characters is shmup spin-off and Phantasmagoria, but even they usually don't expand the characters if that's what you're hoping for.

>Pretty much only in Megaten. But it's not like you can beat up Christ or Muhammad either, right? You might as well have a fighting game with Christ vs. Muhammad. I'd like to see that.

What did ZUN mean by this?

>Christ vs Muhammed
Oh lord, is he going to introduce Christian and Muslim 2hus now?

Buddhist magic does exist, but is Narumi even Buddhist? I know she used to be a jizou statue, but that's like saying Eiki is Buddhist.

I hope the Muhammad 2hu has some kind of self-destruction ability combined with reconstructing its body after the explosion.

Crusader paladin 2hu when?
>Heals itself
>Slash attacks
>Light attacks
>Faith attacks

What's the question, user? I don't get the context.

Jizou is buddhist statue.
And yeah, while Eiki herself is not buddhist, afterlife in Gensokyo is kinda influenced by buddhism mythology.

Mokou adopts islamism when?

Round 2 you wench.

Yeah it's a long shot and the only thing that'll come close is another Phantasmagoria game.

>Destroying filthy mudslime 2hus with a Christian Paladinhu
I can dig it, as long as it doesn't involve Chirstian vs Muslim shitflining like with Taoists and Buddhists.

Okay, now I don't want Islam in 2hu.

>Crusader 2hu
oh lord I can't wait to see her have some silly looking great helm and folded over 1000 times "long sword"
where's my gun tsukumogami?

But there's already a muslim touhou and she's burning down the house.

She would be the next awoo. You don't want that.

>There are a lot of people these days who treat the law as absolute, but when you look into why the laws were written it's often really stupid. Like, it's easy enough to understand why you'd ban marijuana, but when you ask why marijuana is no good but alcohol is OK it just doesn't make any sense. That's just how the law is, but I think it's obvious that when society is like that then religion, which makes even more rules, wouldn't do well at all. So the modern tendency to make religion "the enemy" is the fault of the law. When there are both religious precepts and national laws, they're going to conflict somewhere.
DUDE

>ZUN getting political
ABORT

Where is this from?
Technically, we had a Judaic 2hu in HRtP.
I know what a jizou statue is, but ZUN said this:
>And Narumi isn't a Jizo statue anymore, she's become a magician. She lives in the Forest of Magic and thanks to the effect of the magical energy is now a poorly understood being. She's losing that Jizo impression.
You're right about Touhou having Buddhist cosmology, but it doesn't seem like Eiki promotes specifically Buddhist values.
>as long as it doesn't involve Chirstian vs Muslim shitflining

FMW predicting the future yet again.

Explain Sanae-slut and Kaguya-NEET

Which part of Touhou that's related to this, though?or is it purely social commentary?

it's from

>That's why I made the name (Fuujinroku) a reference to the first shooting game I ever made, Story of Eastern Wonderland (Fuumaroku)
Now I know that, when I confuse the two Japanese names, it's his fault.
>Since MoF, there've been more fans who like to analyze the works. So in that sense I think it was a success.
ZUN officially endorses our meaningful discussions.
And most importantly
>it'd be more like Megami Tensei or something.
>We don't go around killing YHWH that often.
Finally a 2hu game where I can kill my friends!

Sanae slut comes from her being an outside worlder and thus being viewed as being less of a conservative girl. Kaguya NEET is because Kaguya ever hardly leaves her palace in Eientei, so they just depict her as a NEET for much laughs.

I mean in the actual works, MoF especially.
Could it be represented by Kanako spreading her religion and technologival advancement even if it's a bit against Gensokyo law and norms? Doesn't seem to be the case.

Sanae loves cocks, so she's a slut. Kaguya stays inside all day, and Eientei could easily have modern technology, so the contrast between her being a refined beautiful princess and her being a NEET who shitposts all day is funny

Sanae is a normal 21st century teenager girl.
So automatically she's the sluttiest in all of Gensokyo

I mean, memes aside, Sanae would probably be very conservative by 21st century standards wouldn't she? Given that she's a Japanese Shrine Maiden and all.

That's why she's so perfect; she's both a shrine maiden, and also a huge nerd about nuclear physics, so the actual chances of her having gotten laid are not high. But it's still a good meme to have because she gets a lot of good porn

Sanae is a really boring character
I don't know why ZUN tried to push her as a protagonist so hard

Just look at this, there's no way Sanae would go to any teenage parties. She's pure, damnit!

I mean the other options would be Youmu, Reisen and Sakuya showing up constantly.

I wouldn't have a problem with Sakuya being the third protagonist instead of Sanae. She's human as well.

Well she was in literally every game and printwork up until MoF wasn't she? Though that might have been more of a case of not really enough characters to go around.

That's what I mean. I don't dislike Sanae, but I wouldn't have hated it if ZUN just kept using Sakuya as the third playable character in MoF and after.

Sanae has a better reason to get involved in incident solving than Sakuya though, it worked in IN because she was working with Remilia, but besides that she would normally be staying by her master's side over going out and saving the day.

This is why Reimu is the better girl. She knows how to have a good time and would be fun at parties!

It's true that Sakuya doesn't really have a reason to solve most icidents unless the incident inconveniences Remilia somehow.

>Reimu
>effort
what possessed that girl. besides, I bet having nothing but sake gets old. Does traditional Japan even have any booze besides Sake really?

>REAL hagic
Again the proofs are right here, Marisa is the ultimate hag.

Same, I really don't care for Sanae, what little I've played her in UFO on hard just made her seem like a wannabe Reimu. Sakuya was a third character in DDC rather than Sanae so there's still hope. But I do understand why he does it given the circumstances.

Didn't stop her from being playable in DDC.

According to ZUN he really dislikes using Youmu because she is the hardest character to write for.

Issue with Sakuya and Reisen is they don't have any particular reasons nor do they care for getting into incidents unless they're directly connected. It strikes me ZUN chooses his protagonists more based on what he wants to write then who is more wanted.
