Hey guys so I heard this is a Touhou board. I am new to Touhou.

>>17240665
1. Bomb if you think you might be close to getting hit. You waste all your bombs when you die, so when you're new, it's better to overbomb than underbomb.
2. Toe-hoe

>>17240679
Which is the best bomb? I find that if I don't chose Remu's honing missiles I get fucked in stage 3.

If it's 'toe-hoe', why is it abbreviated to '2hu'?

Is 6 a bad game to start with?

>>17240706
1. the games are shit
2. memes
3. yes

>>17240743
What percentage of niggas here actually play Touhou? The games seem pretty fun to me.

>>17240760
Better ask here >>17169336

>>17240760
Why do you think it's okay to call random people niggas? I don't wanna be associated with negroes.

>>17240813
Okay. My apologies, homie. Wasn't Cirno black at one point?

>>17240833

Not really, girls are prettier with pale skin.

>>17240854
nah homie, you be talking that way on the hood you gonna get popped, balla. ain't no white girl can ever compete with tanned or a black momma, you know what i'm talking about, playa

>>17240871
Okay, you made me laugh, I'll give you that. 'Homie' sounds more Mexican than black, don't you think?

i would not trust cirno with a gun. i do not believe she would use it responsibly.

>>17240892
No way esse

>>17240854
Exactly. Pale skin is feminine and beautiful. I don't know why today we are obsessed with being tanned, getting fake tan and sun beds, at least in the west... Trying to make yourself look like an African is disgusting. White girls and pale east asians are the most beautiful women.

Patchouli is actually pretty easy, and I have almost zero experience with Bullet Hells, all experience I have is with Thunder Force IV for the genesis.

>>17240969
This. So much this. This exactly.

Get IN /jp/. These people are all secondaries. If you don't play the games, then you MUST get out of /jp/. As for your questions:

1. Play Touhou until your eyeballs fall out and then you will be good at dodging shit

2. The correct pronunciation is to-ho, with short o sounds, but it sounds autistic and most people (myself included) say toe-hoe.

You also asked which games to play first. I find EoSD extremely difficult and I don't think it's a good first choice. PCB and IN (7 and 8) are easier and are a better introduction to the series in my opinion.

Put her in a room with an endless supply of donuts which she will eat until she explodes.

Why do people say 8 is easy? I started with 6 and found it easier than 7 or 8.
IN has a ton more bullets than other games, it's deathbomb system is unique/bad because it's easier to deathbomb and that teaches bad habits also it's rather expensive, focus/unfocus making a huge difference on your score and time (continues, new guys will play focused for 90% of the time). EoSD does not have anything like it, and your hitbox being invisible is not that big of a deal if you take a look at other games and remember it's actually way smaller than it looks. Alternatively you can download a hitbox patch for that, but I don't recommend doing this.

>>17240665
Just in case you haven't figured things out yet, the board is "otaku culture". Basically what this means we discuss anything japan related, mostly touhou, but not exclusively. Tons of threads dedicated to certain characters and other stuff like that. Pay no attention to it. It's all secondary, only primary things are the games, manga, and discussion of those two.
Lurk more. Post less. Try to understand on your own first.

General tips
Bomb if you think you're in trouble. You will have your chance to fine hone your micrododging when you use all of your bombs, that's the time to take small risks and dodge like a madman.
Try to understand who does what, you can dodge many bullets by slightly moving out of the way. Your hitbox is like 3x3 pixels. Sometimes they target you, sometimes they fire fixed patterns, take advantage of that.
Do use continues, you will need a lot of practice for last bosses, and doing 5 perfect stages to die in seconds on stage 6 is not really helpful.
Focus is really helpful, do that, but don't overdo. Some attacks are best dodged by dashing into the other half of the screen instead of trying to squeeze yourself between multiple bullets.
Technically speaking, you can dodge everything without losing a single bomb or a single life, but that's hard. Try to plan out when you bomb, and when to keep emergency bombs.
Take breaks from time to time.
Patches can be quite tough or quite easy, it all depends on who you're using. Marisa A will have a different set of spellcards to dodge than Marisa B or Reimu A. IIRC the easiest ones are thrown out for both Marisas.
Or you can pick Reimu A, that's like the standard mode of touhou. No worries about the boss, you just focus on the bullets.
>>17240706
For best bomb available throughout the series refer to pic related.

>>17244411
IN gives you a lot of resources. If you know your route you can safely bomb through it.

>>17244411
Much appreciated. This is very helpful.

The same can be said about literally any game. Well maybe except the phantasmagorias.

>>17244500
Thank you for ignoring my first sentence.
>Well maybe except the phantasmagorias
But phantasmagorias are played exactly like that.

>>17240665
Shoot Patchu until it dies

>>17243664
I just played SA for 3 days and I have finished the 2nd stage now. Is this an achievement for me?

Eirin already killed Patchouli in SSIB because she was building a rocket ship to fill with garbage and blast off to the moon.

Oh I'm sorry, let me voice my opinion on that first sentence of yours.
>IN gives you a lot of resources
tru.

>>Well maybe except the phantasmagorias
>But phantasmagorias are played exactly like that.
Technically, charged attacks are not bombs. Bombs are when you press X and lose all your charge. There's no reason to bomb in PoFV unless you found yourself in a bad spot you can't escape from or sacrifice a second for lv.2 charge. Similar thing is in PoDD, where you have only two bombs.
And what I meant is that if you know your way, as in KNOW your way, you don't need to bomb at all.

Bomb is a level 4 attack though.

In normal games, bomb is a spellcard, that immediately clears screen and deals damage. Sort of a panic button.
In PoFV, a bomb immediately clears screen and launches an attack at the enemy. The panic button, since you even get a slight punishment for it.
A spellcard in PoFV does everything said above, with one exception. The word "immediately". There's the difference. It's an attack, you don't need to save yourself to launch it. Or at least, this is what I think makes sense.
Besides my original point was that PoFV features a high level of randomness, and that can't really fall under knowing your route and bombing it. Instead of tackling that you're discussing what's a bomb and what isn't.
There's not enough Deus Ex/Touhou crossovers.

You said technically. So yes, technically a bomb is a full charge attack. The immediate effect is another thing. Technically speaking of course.

Right, it clears the screen but technically there's still a delay. No other game features a delay on bomb, it always instantly saves your behind as soon as you press a button. In PoFV you can muck that up by pressing the button to charge up and dying before you hit lv2.
Spellcard is a spellcard, an attack is an attack, a bomb is a panic button. Refer to my original post explaining what charge attacks in PoFV are.

2. Beat her in stage 4 of Eosd
3. Two-huu
4. Zun killed mima

IN has the thing where if you kill an enemy the bullets around it disappear, it also has easy death bombing on spellcards

OP, EoSD is not a bad game to start, but I would recommend starting from LLS, it's easy and gives you a ton of resources. Underbombing, something that beginners are often guilty of, is also not penalized as heavily as you only get 2 bombs for every life (+bomb extends). There are also no annoying gimmicks to teach new players bad habits or make the game nearly unplayable, like in IN.
After LLS (or likely during it), MS and EoSD should be your next games and after that there really is no wrong way to proceed.
Best bombs depend on the game, but Marisa's Master Spark is often a strong contender for it (except in PCB due to Marisa having fewer bombs than the other two). Another character who usually has a strong bomb is Sanae.
