Fascinating.

I know right?
It kinda feels like I focus too much and wind up shutting down.

It's a strange feeling really, like my mind is completly open to the patterns.

I can't get a no-continue run on Easy in EoSD. And I really wanna fight Flan-Flan! I try to use all sets but I don't know which one.


Try to figure out which one you die with the least, even if it's only a slight difference. If you can do that, then just stick with that, and memorize every little thing, bit by bit. Oh, and Reimu B does a lot more damage the closer you get.

When I first went through, I actually restarted any time I didn't think I was doing well enough to not die later on, even if it just means I used a bomb when I shouldn't have had to.

It took me about a month like that, playing mostly whenever I wasn't sleeping or working. The very next day: Flandre defeated. Don't ask how that makes sense.

I'm pretty good at dodging with Marisa but Reimu makes things die fast though

Y'mean like how I sometimes zone out during dense bullet patterns and just go on autopilot?


And you dodge perfectly, yes.

It happens to everyone, in situations that require certain amount of concentration. Once you surpass that concentration, you are in The Zone, in which you're no longer thinking your actions, merely doing them.

It mostly happens to athletes, but it has been proven that the other demographic that tends to enter The Zone just as often is gamers.


I get in the zone a lot but the slightest disturbance just throws me into my "nerrrrr" mode where my bomb finger gets twitchy and I end up wasting one.

Disturbance....Like someone popping up and trying to talk to you during a Spellcard?

Probably exactly that, as that happens to me ALL THE TIME.

Also, I can rarely get a good sitting position. Either the very act of sitting take too much focus on its own, or it gets painful.

I just sit however I normally do when gaming.

...I just have to make sure that I'm in my room, so as to avoid interruptions.

Huh...I don't have a problem with people interrupting me. I think its because I always uncontrollably sing along with the music and it freaks them out XD

The zone isn't like that for me...mine is when I get so sucked into a game that I forget I'm alive. I tend to perform a bit better then, but its not like anything "clicks" or falls perfectly into place, its just that its all that exists for me then. Its severely dangerous, though - getting pulled away from a game while in the zone leaves me with an unfathomable and uncontrollable rage at anyone and anything in the immediate vicinity. So completely out of character that its almost funny.

Also, "nerrrrr" mode is like the worst experience ever, and I get it really bad. Attempted 1cc normal PCB: reached Yuyuko with 4 lives and 5 bombs with no continues, cue "nerrrr" - lost all bombs, lives, AND continues before even reaching the last spell. I cried ,>_<

Anyway, I know this isn't very helpful, but try changing the window size. I failed hard at most Touhou games until I realized having them full screen was the problem - the screen was so big I just couldn't focus on what to dodge. I switched to window mode and now am lower-than-average instead of complete fail! Woo!
Though, for Bunkachou games, I have the opposite problem - I must have full screen or I can't see what to dodge 0_o

I am working on hard but man Meiling is hard not because of the complex spell card pattern but because of the simple shots I could have dodged if not so focused on the complex pattern

I actually play on fullscreen and I do just fine.
Really helps on Res. Butterfly and stuff like it.

In fact, I just made it to Mountain of Faith today, got my a** kicked, but I made it halfway through.

I mostly focus on Dodging- sticking to Reimu either A or B.

I was able to 1CC EotSD Normal a week ago, but IN normal always roasts me.

Normal mode on IN is easy for me, mostly because I've memorized the spellcards almost perfectly.....except for Hourai Elixir.

Kaguya's Last Spells are amazingly fun to play though.
And I somehow got an extra spell while fighting Wriggle, i had maximum Time Points, so that probably factored into it....haven't been able to duplicate the event sincebut I remember that it had "Hermit" in the name.

EDIT: It's called Hermit of an Endless Night.

Wriggle is the only IN boss whose Last Word spellcard I can easily trigger. I just never get to collect enough Time Points on the other stages.

It was fun though.
I was totally freaking out during the whole thing though.....but when I completed the run, it didn't show up in the lists, which is why I can't remember the name easily.


I was still on a major rush from having 1CC'd IN mere moments before, so I was really flipping out when I triggered it......I should try again, see if it'll log this time.
