Nice 1cc. I realize this has been posted a while ago but are you still playing the series in 2024? I gotta say stage 4 is my biggest hard mode roadblock for now.
for other aspiring touhou clearers like me, know that you can 'focus' with the Shift key and skip dialogue with Ctrl!! spamming Z for dialogue is too slow and alternating Z and X can make you waste a bomb if you're not careful. unfortunately it was a while before I learned about these, kept wondering what the deal was and how to shotgun properly like in the vid haha. hope this helps!!?
i got 4 out of 6 good endings thanks to this guide but I must say. Although this game is easier than SA its much more frustrating. With SA at least I was rewarded for learning the spells and patterns but this game forces you to use the UFO mechanic if you dont wanna risk ruining your run. Honestly I might consider SA to be my favorite touhou.
I go for all good endings in a touhou and this is the 2nd game I watch a guide for which helped me alot. I got 4 out of 6 of the endings so far. I also watched a lunatic replay of marisaB and the player used a cheese for nonspell 3 where he positions himself slightly above orin. I think its only possible with some shot types like marisaB but I havent tested it out yet. SA shot types are very unique from each other so I feel like stage 2 and later im playing a different game.
i always died even on easy like 9 years ago, so i wanted to try and at least beat normal, but found myself dying to stupid things. hope this will help me
My main problem with EoSD so far is precisely the RNG and Sakuya bs, like, for the most part (while playing on normal of course) I do fine, mostly pattern recognition after playing a few times, but then either Cirno or Meiling sometimes force me to bomb in their RNG spell cards, then Patchouli stage usually takes from me another bomb, Patchouli herself with her own bs sometimes makes me bomb (I swear to god, there are times where I can't see where to dodge AT ALL), and then there's Sakuya, who is somehow the hardest boss at least on normal despite not being, you know, the final boss. At least Remi has like only one bs spell card, the rest of spell and non spell are surprisingly easy to dodge for me, so once I get to her, it usually becomes an already won run. Still... I just did my first 1cc today, so don't take too seriously that last part lol. And f Sakuya, I love her but I hate her but I love her.
I have 7 days to do 1cc on this and I'm currently stuck on byakuren, I saw this tutorial and I hope that tomorrow I can do it, but with these new tips you gave I'm feeling a little more confident
Managed to finish stage 6 on normal after continues thanks to this guide. I definitely need to practice the stages more before I can 1cc. Wonder how hard Flan is going to be considering Remilia is already so tough.
the one part I needed help with without a bomb and needed advice for there was no advice other than good luck. guess trial and error for the next 3 hours will work
I've got 3/4 of the good endings but I think it's about time I watched this video. It can really help. (Edit: 17 minutes later that makes 4/4. Thank you for your service!)
I'm 1ccing this game and I'm completely tilted because I can easily do 5 stages and reach Byakuren with tons of lives and bombs, but then she absolutely demolish me, and I can't even practice her stage because you need to beat it first (and apparently I did, but with Marisa A, and I have no idea how since she sucks at that stage)
One question: Does getting closer to the boss make your attacks more potent? I was wondering if the bosses would lose more hp by going closer to them than camping at the bottom, because the further down you go the more your shots sort of diverge. (but if youre closer its shown in more concentrated amounts where they overlap) errr couldnt find results for this weird query on the web
Actually yeah its more potent when you get closer but not by a too significant margin, just some extra seconds saved. Honestly its not worth it to change your playing style deliberately for it unless youre aiming for some really good runs or a specific goal Edit: or maybe its because i play with reimu A with the homing bullets
