So how do you genuinely get into these bullet hell games? Never played one before where do you start?
>>736202239Touhou girls had a game??
>>736202239Touhou is on the easier side of the genre. Start with EoSD, play on Normal, bullshit your way through with bombs, unlock practice stages and get the 1cc. Jump to the Extra Stage, 1cc it, download thprac and play on Lunatic until you 1cc by bullshitting your way through with bombs on parts you can't consistently get. That's how it all started for me.
>>736202239Start with Embodiment of Scarlet DevilKeep going until you "get it" but get too frustratedGo to Perfect Cherry BlossomBeat the final bossGo to the next gameBeat the final bossRepeat.At some point go back to Embodiment of Scarlet Devil (preferably with the focus hitbox patch) and beat the final bossAnd if you especially have fun with a certain game, go for the 1CC.
>>736202239start with touhou 6 then 11, 13 and 15, anything else is not worth playing
>>736202239Well touhou is like 95% micro so you just hold down shit and tap left or right when a bullet is directly in front of you mostly
>>736202239Touhou 6: Embodiment of Scarlet Devilthen work your way up from there
>>736202435>>736204081Thanks this game right?https://doujinstyle.com/?p=page&type=2&id=1
>>736202239Meira balls cousin
>>736204456Yeah. There's also a patch to make it English somewhere online.
>>736204456make sure to get thcrap, it's an english patcher for every touhou game
>>736202460 >telling a newfag to start with 11 and 15 are you actually trying to filter him on purpose? SA and LoLK are the two games most likely to make a beginner uninstall after stage 3. 15 on legacy mode is straight up sadistic if you don’t even understand routing or resource management yet.6 is fine, 7 or 8 are way comfier starting points. 13 is baby’s first 1cc so that one’s fair. But saying “anything else isn’t worth playing” when PCB and Imperishable Night exist is bait-tier take.Let the guy learn to stream before you throw him into UFO hell or Junko simulator.
>>736202239The mainline Touhou games all suck, so you can't get into them. I'd start at Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, the first bullet hell, and just play them in order.
Are you trying to bait the cp guy on purpose
>>736202424pretty much the classic pipeline lol. “just bomb through it” is basically Touhou 101 whether people admit it or not. EoSD’s a solid start but man, jumping straight to Lunatic with thprac is where the real brain rot begins. nothing like convincing yourself you’re improving while you’re just optimizing panic bombs

>>7362022391cc th6 to th11 in chronological orderthen play CAVE gamesthen play Toaplan
>>736202239By actually playing the games? Maybe? What a dumb fucking question
>>736209552>>736209809that’s basically the “boomer shmup enlightenment path” right there lol1ccing Touhou 6: Embodiment of Scarlet Devil through Touhou 11: Subterranean Animism in order will already filter like 90% of people. by the time you hit SA you either get religion or uninstallthen moving to CAVE is where you realize Touhou was holding your hand the whole time. stuff like DoDonPachi DaiOuJou or Ketsui will absolutely humble you and force you to actually route instead of “lol bomb here”and Toaplan after that is just raw, no-nonsense suffering. no gimmicks, no waifus, just pure “did you memorize this or not” gameplay. go play Truxton or Batsugun and feel your soul leave your bodyunironically though, if you can clear that whole path you’re basically certified shmup sicko statu
