/2hug/ - Touhou General - #86

Perfect Discussion Blossom 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.

>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, 15.5: 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.

Hags are the best 2hus

Welcome to /2hug/, where the rules are made up and we have meaningful discussions

Hagouli.

That face is in uncanny valley

What's this VN ass bullshit?
Why don't we have a good 2hu vn yet?

I'm a fightan player and it's my first time playing a 2hu fighter, trying out 15.5.

This shit is weird as hell. How do I even play this? Is there not instant airdash? Why is finding combos so hard and nothing seems to work outside the corner besides the autocombo

Why am I so bad please help

Look up combos on youtube.
You should be able to set airdash to a button.

It looks like they tried to make her look realistic while keeping her anime figures and you end up with that abomination.

It's not a VN, it's from a RPG fangame called Atieller Patchouli. I tried to play it but everything was confusing as fuck without a translation, a shame because it did look pretty quality.

A few questions to start the thread off:

1. How did you get into Touhou in the first place? Was it through a friend, or did you stumble across it by complete chance? What was the first game you tried playing?

2. Have you ever seen Touhou related merchandise outside your home, or someone playing the games out in public? If so, did you approach them about it or simply ignore them?

And 3. Who was the first 2hu you saw/knew about and who is your favorite now? The Ronald McDonald video doesn't count for Flandre.

That looks like a 2hu dating sim.
I should make a 2hu dating sim.

It doesn’t look bad at all, but it just looks surreal. Whoever made that patchy put a lot of effort into that

>How did you get into it
The music, specifically aya's theme.

>Touhou merch or games in public
There was one kid that played EoSD or something on a comp in my english teachers room during break, but thats it.

>First and now
Aya and youmu.

McRoll, went to 2hucon before it imploded from sheer poor management and have seen cosplayers at cons, other than that no, Flandre and Marisa

Dumb mushroom bitch

1 - Stumbled across it by chance, through the music on youtube. The first game I played was EoSD.

2 - No.

3 - I don't remember, but it was probably Flandre through remixes of her theme. Remilia became my favorite after I learned more about the characters.

My friend playing MoF in high school
After I learned about Touhou myself? No.
Reimu, Patchouli

>how did I get into it

Through music and mostly memes. But I’ve attempted some of the fighting games, but I’m not that good. My goal is to at least play a bullet hell game by this year

>did you ever see anyone with touhou in public

I have weirdly never seen much 2hu stuff around where I live, which is a shocker.

>first 2hu you saw and who’s my current favorite

Suika was my first through the japanese goblin video, which I thought was strange back when it came out. Current favorite is eiki, and that came from that one flash video, and I came to like her character a lot, and related to her

>went to 2hucon before it imploded from sheer poor management

I went to the last one before it imploded. It was also the only one i went to. that was pretty sad.

I mean there were only two, and the first one was practically held in a nowhere location with nobody important.

1- I got into 2hu because of this general. Came mainly because of the cute girls, then stay for the gameplay and cute girls.
2- No, fuck me right?
3- Clownpiece, and then Kanako.

what the fuck does Sanae mean when she says she's a living god? Kanakp/Suwako/Aki sisters are all gods and "alive", so I don't see the difference especially when Sanae is still considered a human.

en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Strange_Creators_of_Outer_World/Legacy_of_Lunatic_Kingdom_interview_with_ZUN#cite_ref-1
ZUN says that she is in the link. You can't really disagree with ZUN.

>How did you get into Touhou in the first place?
Flan's theme, which I thought sounded cool.
>Have you ever seen Touhou related merchandise outside your home, or someone playing the games out in public? If so, did you approach them about it or simply ignore them?
I saw someone playing soku at a cafe once, asked if it was soku and he said yeah. Someone (normalfag) also linked me the remix of U.N. Owen with the pan falling on the guy's head.
>Who was the first 2hu you saw/knew about and who is your favorite now?
The first I think I saw was Flandre, my favorite is Nitori.

That makes it worse.

>How did you get into Touhou in the first place?
McRoll followed by downloading EoSD and gitting gud

>Have you ever seen Touhou related merchandise outside your home, or someone playing the games out in public?
I've met some people who knew about this series but their knowledge was limited to the bad apple video and other secondary shit

>Who was the first 2hu you saw/knew about and who is your favorite now?
It was actually Flandre. I mean it was the first thing I was bound to find after mcroll
My favourite is and will always be Seija

>How did you get into Touhou in the first place?
After listening to some Japanese music online radio station for a few months, many Touhou songs (catchy ones at that) were popping up very frequently so I decided to check it out.

>Have you ever seen Touhou related merchandise outside your home, or someone playing the games out in public? If so, did you approach them about it or simply ignore them?
Never, Australia will smite pedos.

>Who was the first 2hu you saw/knew about and who is your favorite now?
Cirno of course, can't survive on Veeky Forums without knowing what she's all about after all. Tough choice between Reisen and Alice for current favourite at the moment though.

>Never, Australia will smite pedos.

Does owning 2hu merchandise or playing the games in public make someone a pedo?

Music from a channel that uploaded a bunch of video game music, and doujins

Saw a guy at my college wearing one of those super over the top ugly anime shirts with Flandre on it, just laughed in my head

Back when I only knew very little, I pretty much only knew who Reimu, Marisa, Sanae and the EoSD crew were. Now my favorite is pic related

Do you at least remember what else was on that shirt?

Unless you're in an area full of Asians, exposing that kind of stuff in public is a red flag to everyone around your radius. Good thing Touhou isn't a game that should be played anywhere other than home on a solid input device.

Nah, I didn't want to stare

>;_; my social life would be destroyed if anyone know I liked Touhou
>I'd rather just pretend my interest in Japanese culture is ironic!
Actually kill yourself ironic weeb.

What's wrong with hiding your interests in public if you'd get negative reception around you, and who said anyone pretends about their interests?

So he was a fat fuck most likely?

I’ve seen people wearing anime crap in public without a care. If people wear Shit related to undertale in public, why should I give a damn if I wear a touhou shirt?

He wasn't fat, just some normal looking asian guy. Some people just don't give a fuck

If you like something you don't have to express it to everyone, some people are happy to keep their interests to themselves.

1-I was into graphic design as a teen an and there was a guy obsessed with 2hu in a gd forumthe madman is still at it and still doing 2hu stuff 8 years later, he's become pretty good, i checked.
I tried it because he got me curious

2- No. I showed the games to some of my friends, told them I beat all the extras and they called me insane. They like the music tho

3-Can't remember. My favourites were Marisa and Youmu when I just started getting into it. Now it's Suika

Link to that guys work

Can the steam version of the game connect with the non steam version

>1.
I got introduced several times to touhou while browsing on the internet but I never got into trying it until some months ago. The first one were probably through Mcroll, bad apple or the black MIDIs.
>What was the first game you tried playing?
EoSD like 8 months ago, but I didn't get seriously on the series until 2 months later.
>2.
I haven't seen anything touhou related on public nor do I think I ever will.
>3.
If the Ronald MacDonald video doesn't count then I guess that either pic related or the chink Mokou memes, my favorite is still Mokou.

Where’s that hecatia where her head has tecate instead?

Right here.

Thank

Does overclocking your gpu reduce lag on non-vpatch 2hu games?

1. I was introduced to it on /b/ in 2006 or 2007 and memed about it for a while. Then I forgot about it. I didn't even try to play a game til last year.

2. Nope.

3. The oldest picture I remember seeing is one of Yukari in her undergarments. My favorites now are alice and marisa for no particular reason..

Yurifags are cancer.
Just felt like saying that for no particular reason.

You trying to make the thread even worse than the last one?

It's weird that the series has had a relevant male character for a while yet he was barely forced into relationships with other 2hus. The most I have seen of Rinnosuke are some comedy PVs and that's about it.

It's great that the series has had a relevant male character for a while yet he was barely forced into relationships with other 2hus. The most I have seen of Rinnosuke are some comedy PVs and that's about it.

First off secondary works don't fucking matter.
And second ZUN isn't a fucking idiot. He knows his capabilities as a writer kind of, and more importantly he knows his audience. He knows people would flip if, say, Rinnosuke was shagging Marisa or some shit. Hell, he's even afraid to add male characters as bosses in the games.

But he had no problem adding Wriggle

I was talking about the fanon usage of Rinnosuke.

Well then there's plenty of works of him romancing other hus you blind faggot. It's just that yurifags tend to get overaggressive when these works become popular, so you don't see them shoved into the spotlight as often as you'd see the works of an attention seeking yurifag.
>inb4 someone gets mad because I'm unafraid to speak the truth.

How does this picture make you feel?

And yet there's plenty of porn with all the 2hus? And I don't see any yurifags getting upset

...

It looks like two friends having a laugh, why?

Because nobody can beat the dick. Even Yurifags know that much.

He's pretty handsome even with his glasses though.

This user gets it.

If that picture didn't exist hetfags would be eternally btfo. You should suck that artists dick.

>longer haired Alice
>those shorts
>that midriff
My dick likes this

Or I could just use other pics of 2hus losing against the cock instead...

That's a man, baby.

Cute gifs only

How come Magician is a race separate from human and youkai?

All forms of love are cute. Even faggots. You have too much hate in your heart, user.

Except homosexual love. Unless you think HIV and AIDs are cute.

Because they're not humans but they don't depend on faith from humans for their eternal life. Youkai wonder "why didn't i think of that?"

Men can't love men, user.

You have to kill the hate inside your hearts user. Only love. All love is good.

If you don't think lesbians are hot then you have a penis malfunction.

Based oniposter

why don't all youkai just become magicians

>people bitch about women over on the so called video games board
>they daydream about the ideal woman
>the ideal woman just happens to fit the description of men
>men can't love men
Does not compute.

It's not hate if it's an objective fact.

Oh my

Who do you side with /2hug/? Taoists? Or Buddhists?

Taoists, the side who doesn't support man-eating monsters.

>1. How did you get into Touhou in the first place?
Was it through a friend, or did you stumble across it by complete chance?
/v/, random thread about bullet hell, I wanted to get into it after completing undertale.
>What was the first game you tried playing?
EoSD, someone recommended me that one to start off.
>2. Have you ever seen Touhou related merchandise outside your home, or someone playing the games out in public?
No and no, sadly.
>3. Who was the first 2hu you saw/knew about and who is your favorite now?
Clowpi! I had a short period after trying out EoSD in which I didn't play the game and just lurked threads. Clowpi was and still is so cute! I was rather taken by her but I didn't know what was in store for me. I feel bad for Clowpi sometimes.

Where do you put Clownpiece in your character sort? I put her at 14th place in mine.

2nd. She somehow got 3rd in the last one, Hecatia is too good, but She will probably be 2nd again next time I do one.

She's just making shit up.
Gods can't be sluts.

Sauce me dam

Zeus would disagree.

...

If you are using vanilla Veeky Forums, its the arrow next to the post number.

SANAE ISN'T A SLUT STOP SAYING SHE IS

t. Sanae

If you are using vanilla Veeky Forums you should really be using 4chanx if at all possible.

SO WHAT MY OPINION MATTERS

Name one reason why I need to use 4chanX

Superior ui compared to vanilla. If you need one good reason, it changes your filenames to a random string of numbers so you don't look like a fucking noob when you search for a picture on google and take something from tumblr or know your meme.

Oh, so just for people who want to fit in? No thanks.

but what I've been here for years and just don't care

It's okay to be a slut, Sanae!

It throws off people who bitch about filenames. If you don't care about them then I guess it's not a selling point.

See above. When you're oldfag enough that you have to look up all the pictures you've lost over the years and the only place that still has them is know your meme, you get accused by newfags of being an even newerfag trying to fit in by posting old memes. It's an infuriating accusation you can't disprove.

But what if I don't care?
Also why not just rename your images

If you don't care then use vanilla I'm not a salesman.
>why not rename images
You're using a computer. That kind of shitty busy work is what man worked so hard to create computers in order to avoid doing.

The only reason Moriya has any followers is because Sanae bribes them with sex!
What a slut!
