TAS originally published on 2022-06-24
Touhou Kaikidan ~ Mystic Square (東方怪綺談～ Mystic Square) is the fifth official installment of the Touhou Project series and is a 2D vertically-scrolling danmaku shooting game (shoot em up). It is the last game in the Touhou Project series for the Japanese PC-98. It is also the last game to have ever been officially released for the PC-98, released on December 30th, 1998. In this game, the playable character (Reimu, Marisa, Mima or Yuuka) travels to Makai after a horde of demons came out of a cave in order to confront Shinki about that problem in particular.
KirbyComment (tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/KirbyComment) makes their way through the game on Lunatic difficulty as Mima, notably not dropping any point item as well as grazing and milking a lot of patterns and attains a score of 284,581,040 points. Please read the author's comments (tasvideos.org/7475S) for more details. For reference, the best known real time score is 202,717,620 points by Miller.
This is the first ever publication of a game made for the PC-98 series of computers, which were only released in Japan.

It was quite a journey to get this TAS made. The PC-98 era of Touhou games is quite underappreciated in my opinion, compared to the Windows-era games. The same goes to the scoring systems they have, despite being limited by their hardware. There is however still alot to these games if you delve into them. Hope this was entertaining!

Ever since being involved in early scoring experimentation in this game myself 10 years ago, I've been hoping to see what a TAS can achieve on Lunatic. Nice to see it finally happened, and just as impressive as I expected... and even as a TASVideos publication! Very informative submission comments as well.

There is a test called the "two-points sensitivity discrimination treshold" which consist of touching a blindfolded person with two chopsticks at once on different parts of their body to prove that the human body's tactile sense cannot detect more than one point of pressure at a time if the eyes don't see it to convey the information. These type of games are like 10,000 moving chopsticks at once for my sense of sight. As soon as there are more than 10 bullets displayed on screen, I can't see my character anymore. Between the background and my projectiles going forward, the enemies and their bullets going downward and my character moving all over the place + the spread shots coming from everywhere... I just don't understand. It's like jugling with 100 grains of rice while sprinting backwards under pouring rain.

You must learn to see only your character. Let the world move around you and move yourself only as needed. As you focus on your character your peripheral vision will compensate and the rest should fall into place. This doesn't work for everyone, though.

You'd get used to it after a couple days/weeks. It's like with rhythm games - at the beginning sightreading seems impossible, but after practice it becomes natural.

@InnocentGuillotine Жыл бұрын

Yeah, you basically have to learn to induce tunnel vision when playing these games-most of the bullets on the screen are just pretty noise, and you usually only need to care about the ones near your character, with the exceptions being pretty well-telegraphed on average.

Yeah the lasers have these sort of repeating diamond-shaped hitboxes, but there's gaps between them. They're very thin though and you wouldn't ever try going through them in a real run. Oddities like these and more can be found in the author comments.

See, touhou is made up of projectiles. Projectiles that have hitboxes. It is well-documented by this point that hitboxes are suggestions to TAS. I can't say I'm overly surprised that lasers can just be bounced through for additional grazing.

This TAS tool it’s so awesome that I was blown up that you grazed the SH*T out to the bosses… however there was one disappointment in me… you fought Mai instead of Yuki… I’m fairly disappointed… the rest it’s fine

@R8Spike 2 жыл бұрын

The reason Mai was fought is that she has those enemy things that give score if you defeat them. If it wasn't for that, Yuki would be the pick due to having higher bullet density, and thus, better score on bullet clear. (Graze didn't matter as it was maxed out beforehand)

Not sure if you have or haven't played a Touhou or similar flavor of bullet hell game before, but in case you haven't or anyone reading hasn't, there's a very specific point on the character which is vulnerable. Said point is visible under certain conditions (some refer to it as "Focus"). There's a lot more to it than just the info I just provided, but if anyone's interested, it can be easily found online.
