@@celkou I saw the "Divide error" text in the upper left of the screen during the crash and assumed it was a division by zero. I'm guessing the game uses the rank as a divisor in some kind of calculation related to this stage/boss, and the lowest rank is represented with a zero. (Just my speculation based on observed phenomena, without actually decompiling the code.)

So in summary for whether each touhou game can be finished without moving: -HRtP: Yes because of infinite continues -SoEW: *maybe* with god-tier luck, but probably not -PoDD: Yes, maybe even 1cc'able with good enough luck -LLS: Nope because of the low rank crash on stage 2 (but wouldn't be doable even without this crash anyway) -MS: Nope, stages 4 and 5 take up too many of your resources -EoSD: *probably* with a lot of luck and a marisa shot type -PCB: Yes, possibly doable with Reimu and Marisa as well -IN: Nope because of the continue system -PoFV: Yes with a lot of luck -MoF, SA and UFO: Nope because of the continue system -TD: Nope because of an inability to acquire more resources from spirits -DDC: Decent progress can be made but overall Nope -LoLK: Nope, but decent progress can be made with sanae's bomb (shouldn't be any surprises there) -HSiFS: *almost* but the final spellcard gimmick ends your hopes and dreams -WBaWC: Yes. Praise the otters -UM: Yes, because of bomb-enhancing cards

Id say Subterranean animism is a no because the amount of homing bullets you get tracked with Yes you could totally make it passed stage 1 by doing nothing but shooting stuff (I know cause I've reset that game more times than I'd like to admit) but stage 2 is FILLED with homing bullets the starting fry will track you with the big blue shotguns along with the yin yangs and if you do make it past those pre-boss parsee who has homing circles then a trailing attack and when you make it passed that theres the extra yin gangs that shoot yet more homing shots at you and lets say by SHEER INTELLIGENCE 1 IDIOTS AVANT IDIOTIC STUPID BADSHIT INSANE DUMB LUCK you get to the actual boss fight the first attack you might be able to survive if lucky enough the 2nd card however where she shoots weaponized flowers at you is an indefinite no the next card is similar to the first in which the bullets will circulate around parsee and then shoot so they could miss you and then the next spell card is when she splits herself in 2 and decides to fill the screen with objectable chaos though I think the only thing you'll have to worry about is how long the card will last the final spell card however is the very definition of your not winning if your not moving So with or without the proper continue system I feel like you still wouldn't be able to beat parsee Oh yeah and then theres yuugi

10:15 Technically, her A shot isn't a homing shot, it's more like an auto aim shot (like Yukari's shot in Imperishable Night). Sakuya can only aim her knives at enemies that are in her sight, so sometimes she won't shot some enemies because of that.

@Kasamori 2 жыл бұрын

For a relaxing th18 lunatic experience, I recommend using Sanae with - Mamizou's card (+1P and no P loss upon death below 3P), - Tsukasa's card (P=bomb) - Megumu's card (small bullet clear and +1P) and only buying - Mokou's card (+3 lives AND 9 bombs) - Byakuren's card (cooldown reduction on Tsukasa's and Megumu's card = more B and P, longer bombs) - Eirin's card (just to be safe) - life cards (now with 3 free bombs!) This makes you start with 3 power (and therefore 2 extra bombs), makes sure you don't lose power upon dying (which is more bombs) and you can pretty much bomb through until Jimbo. Oh and you'll have enough power to buy Mokou's card even on stage 1.

To unlock the third card slot, you have to get a 1cc again, but this time buying the Blank Card at the stage 5 shop (It will always be there). The Blank Card deletes all your cards and makes all other cards appear in the next shop, so it's useless to buy on stage 5 (except for unlocking the third card slot). Since you'll have to battle through stage 6 without cards, I recommend buying only lives for that run.

I think there might be some card combinations that would help a lot. Raiko's drum recharges very quickly on his own so with Byakuren's card it will recharge almost istantly. Megumu's and Tsukasa's cards are designed to be used together and they also work very well with Byakuren's card.

I completely forgot you could buy cards with power if you don't have money, so I might have actually cleared if I remembered that (Mokou card would have given more than enough resources) I'll try again and if I succeed I'll definitely send it to TRS.

At least for a casual playthrough because 1cc(Which I doubt I could ever do) can't use it anyways.

@TRDario Жыл бұрын

@@lpfan4491 My experience with them is that they don't really help at all. You get thrown in with barely any resources so if you're struggling with a stage you're just gonna be slamming your head against the wall and make no progress. My first clear of SA was a 1CC because I genuinely found it easier to git gud at the rest of the game and charge into stage 5 and 6 with a billion extra lives than it was to try and beat it with what the continue gives you.

@KirbyComment 6 ай бұрын

In PoDD you have the option of releasing the charge right before a bullet hitting you as this gives you 6 frames on invincibility. Though on Easy this might be unviable with how slow bullets move. The game would certainly at least be possible to 1cc by strategically timing enemy kills to use them as a shield against pellets, Level 1s to clear out fireballs or a group of enemies pinning you in and using hypers. In DDC it's also in theory the easiest to clear with SakuyaA, as her bomb has a bug where if during the bomb effect you press X on the same frame you collide with a bullet, you are unaffected by the bullet hitting you but the bullet still gets deleted.
