Infected Touhou Community

[anliteralidiot]

im gonna wait on the fumos until moriya shrine can get them to me for free

Will you settle for a sewing pattern? Because I have have one based on that one Remilia one someone made years ago, a long with some additions I made myself (like the hatless variant head).

But, I need another 2hu person to check if I'm crazy or not...

I also got to the secret boss in chapter 4, and I don't know how I missed it before, but his last attack reminded me of a Touhou, with the spiraling bullet patterns going back and forth, and how he's pulling out different patterns on every turn...

Then my husband sent me this:

The spellcard for reference:

And I'm autistic, but there's definitely a pattern here: Toby Fox is using the spellcard of a polar opposite Touhou character.
Water :: Fire
Spry old man :: sleepy young-looking lady
He's actually dead, her spellcard is, "Boundary of life and death." There might even be a deeper connection, as Gerson uses an arranged Undyne theme, and the respective Touhou he might be borrowing from also uses an arranged theme from one of their underlings, but I'm getting too deep in the weeds.

I swear I saw a comment from ZUN about the name, "necrofantasia" being a kind of fantasy-land for the dead, and this matches the whole thing going on with the character in Deltarune, too.
Later on, you're also attacked by an armor piece from the character's study, and it uses similar attacks to him, sorta like Ran and Yukari...but backwards.

I wish I was a burger so I had unlimited access to autistic cons.

So where are you from,future Astronaut of America?

I know absolutely nothing about the broader community (thank God) but I've been playing EoSD and it's real fun. Addictive gameplay loop, fun to improve.

That's shmups for ya.
If you want to branch outside Touhou, I can recommend trying out some of the gorillion arcade ones. While not flawless, they are at the very least free. A personal favorite is Mars Matrix.

For the love of God play Thunder Force V (PSX/Saturn), that's a treasure of a game people seemingly forgot it exists.

I'm pretty bad at it, due to being a completely different style of shmup than Touhou, but I do like Sora. It's got a banging soundtrack that really enhances that desolate war-torn sci-fi vibe the story instills upon you.

I liked the old as fuck Touhou fighting game, but the cards system on the sequel was too complicated. Did they ever do any more of those?

There are, as of right now, six Touhou fighting games. Immaterial and Missing Power, Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, and Hisoutensoku* are the first generation, while Hopeless Masquerade, Urban Legend in Limbo, and Antimony of Common Flower are the second generation, using a brand new engine and art style from the first.

*Technically an expansion pack to SWR, but it can still be played stand-alone.

Oh I would love to have it! No promises I will do anything with it, but maybe some day...

I really love Primsriver boss theme, my fav from PCB.
But my Top 1 is Road to Apartheic God (Hina's stage music) from MoF.

I'm of the opinion that UFO and MoF are both easier than IN. IN is one of the overall best, though - right up there with SA and LoLK.

yeah but theyre on newer versions of the engine, the gameplay is a bit different.

I stubbornly wanted to start with EoSD because it's the OG on Win and also the most "vanilla", figured id just git gud and then go chronologically. It's tough though I can't lie. Best I've done on 1 credit was just barely getting to boss on stg 5

I'm not sure how UFO could be considered easier than IN, especially with the former's name-sake mechanic. IN showers you with resources and has that mechanic where if you get hit, the game pauses sometimes to allow you a wider window to press the bomb button.

UFO on the other hand is stingy as hell and requires you to dive between bullets for a chance at grabbing the UFOs, and if you're so much as one frame too late, then it cycles to the next color and you gotta start all over.

There's a good reason why ZUN changed this mechanic to be less frustrating for WBaWC.

MoF, though, just pick Marisa B if you want a free 1cc.

no offense, but UFO's hard and lunatic as common regarded as one of hardest games in the series lmao (maybe the hardest? since you can't cheese lunatic like you can in LoLK with reisen and sanae)

hell, niggas put SA and UFO over LoLK in terms of difficulty for 1cc, personally i do find UFO to be harder than LoLK cuz of it's patterns and UFO's themselves kinda fucking you over with resources if you don't kill em in time

also MoF is funny in the fact you could literally bomb every spell but kanako's final and still clear cuz bombing is so busted in it

MoF, though, just pick Marisa B if you want a free 1cc.

marisaBug is for pussies, fight me (seriously though play however you like lmao)

IDK how to explain it, but despite putting an order of magnitude more hours into IN, I've 1CC'd UFO and haven't done so for IN. Then again, I also didn't sperg about getting the "right" UFOs every time, so that probably led me to take fewer risks and suffer fewer easily-avoidable deaths than I would've if I were to sperg about optimization.

But my Top 1 is Road to Apartheic God (Hina's stage music) from MoF.

Based taste, Hina is best 2hu.
My personal favorites are a bit hard to organize into lists, but my preference for 2hu music started around DDC and onward. GFW's EX boss theme is also great.
