Turns out that women really do love evil woman, huh?
and also the entire cast of Ten Desires 
Yukari and Byakuren being unpopular among younger voters is also wild, turns out teens just don't like older women 😔

Flandre has become the most popular character, wow
swift dune
Last year was the first time Flandre won one of these, she's been in the top 10/top 5 for a very long while.
These polls are cool with how they've been running since 2003, kinda neat to see a glimpse of which characters were popular all the way back then.

that ratio for Yoshika 👌
you love to see it

this is so true

HSoB Extra clear, as Sakuya. (Aqua Gem/Orange Gem)
That was a fun extra stage :>
I'm curious to check out more fangames by this same dev, HSoB is honestly really well made.
ionic trench
I was impressed with what I saw of it
congratsss on the Extra clear 👌
you're clearing these faster and faster haha
gloomy garden
imagine having the skill to clear an extra stage
ionic trench
it's all practice 😛
swift dune
Indeed, it's all practice, and a fair bit of memorizing, too, for most Extra stages.
That being said, LoLK Extra still makes me want to cry
willow solstice
The extra stage in the arguably hardest Touhou game makes you want to cry
How did you even get there in the first place
I said this as a joke but now it sounds like it's true
Wishing you luck on that Extra stage Mana

From Wonderful Waking World,
The song AN APPLE DISASTER!! has a rather neat reference built in to an Undertale song if you listen closely enough 
At the piano solo at 1:38, about 10 seconds in…

The fight doesn't last long enough in game for you to hear that normally, unless you deliberately wait during dialogue..

seeing kirby with patchy's hat reminds me of smash bros, I wonder what her neutral special would be.. 
swift dune
The first thought that came to my mind is something similar to Sephiroth's neutral B, where it's a projectile with 3 stages of charge
Maybe her neutral special consists of her fire spells, where it'd go from:
- Fire Sign ~ Agni Shine
- Wood & Fire Sign ~ Forest Blaze
- Sun Sign ~ Royal Flare
What would each level do exactly..?

It's not the flipped controls that's troublesome

I'd follow the advice that even ZUN himself gives for Seija's spells. (in the omake text)

But my horizontal movement is on a parabola while the screen is turning
swift dune
Oh, for her final one, Reverse Hiearchy
For that one, make sure to keep holding the same direction you were going while the screen turns.
Do your best to follow the lane of bullets, while streaming the aimed orbs she fires.
swift dune
There's genuinely a lot of room for you to dodge that, the tough part is getting a feel for controlling yourself while the screen's rotated.
Once you get that though, that spell should be easy peasy.

a friend of mine beat their first Touhou game which was...LoLK
it was on Pointdevice Mode, I admit their patience!
swift dune
oh dang, what difficulty did they clear it on?
swift dune
With Touhou 13 down, the only mainline games I have left to clear on Hard are:
- Phantasmagoria of Flower View (probably doable? I'll just have to pray the AI will be nice to me..)
- Undefined Fantastic Object (oh no no no)
- Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom (oh no no no)
- Hidden Star in Four Seasons (the least scary out of all these options, the one I'll go for next)
ionic trench
nice nice! close one again
PoFV on Hard is very doable, I didn't notice much of a difference from Normal at all
but yeah, you'll still likely want at least two extra lives for Eiki as per usual
ionic trench
it was on Pointdevice Mode, I admit their patience!
also wth, LoLK on Legacy is kind of insane for a first Touhou clear haha
jolly dock
Legacy Mode is a good mode to learn the game at least. It took some hours till they beat it. I remember they captured Clownpiece's first laser spell in the 150th attempt.
swift dune
wait, are you talking about Legacy or Pointdevice mode here?
150 legacy mode runs is a lot, oh my

guessing Touhou character moment

How many Touhou characters can be guessed there?
||Because 50% of them are repeats and I got even the exact same character twice in a row (Keiki).||
swift dune
You can see the Answer List in game to see the possible answers
jolly dock
No, what I meant is how many different characters overall can be guessed in this round?
I thought it would be multiple hundreds, but the seen answers yet made me doubt.
swift dune
God, UFO on Hard mode feels harder than most of what IN throws at you on Lunatic.
Kogasa and Ichirin are so mean, and they're not even the hardest part of the run 😭
swift dune
I..
...
God, I didn't think I'd actually nail that run, what the hell.
I realize that Reisen's a ridiculous character in LoLK, but god

Happy birthday, Miko~
willow solstice
Tosatomimi no Miku, nice 👍
Didn't know this character had a birthday today.
swift dune
I guess, in honour of Miko day, I want to quickly share something wacky about her fight in Ten Desires.
See, during her spell card, Summon "Royal Clan's Chaotic Dance", Miko summons Tojiko and Futo to attack you for a bit. While they do this, both of them have a little thing they say before shooting out bullets.
For whatever reason, the main English patch for Ten Desires on thcrap decided to replace all of Tojiko's quotes with Sonic boss quotes
Examples include:
The more the merrier!
Get a load of this!
and the most obvious one, It's no use!
maybe Tojiko just really likes Sonic
ionic trench
I guess, in honour of Miko day, I want to quickly share something wacky about he...
I remember that giving me a good chuckle the first time I got to that spell card
seems like that was intentional? huh

Pretty much, for reference, here's the wiki's translation for Tojiko (and Futo's) dialogue

I watched Asprey play this Touhou Music Cognitive Test earlier, seems kinda neat (https://cd.thwiki.cc/quizen)

Credit/ending themes are also really tricky.

I'd hope so considering the 3.5 hr video I made on Touhou music 💦

..Besides me not being able to nail any fighting game OSTs, me mixing up Ink-Blank Cherry Blossom w/ Flowering Night, and SA Stage 1 with SA Stage 2 is uh, tough 🙃

I- did not expect you to mix up Flowering Night huh
I suppose it is late

HA, that's funny
Don't worry, she's only borrowing it (she'll return it once it has no more money in it)
swift dune
Aah, this has been my best attempt at FDF1 Lunatic so far.
This game is insane, especially near the end w/ Koakuma/Sakuya/Remilia, but
it also throws an insane amount of lives at you, so with enough brute force, I think I can nail this
For starters, not losing 3 lives on Koakuma and 6 lives on Sakuya would help immensely.
gloomy garden
mana is slowly turning into one of those crazy people that can 1cc lunatic with no deaths
swift dune
The skill gap between just getting a Lunatic 1cc and nailing a Lunatic No Miss is quite big lol
but, thank you
swift dune
That being said, though..
why be good at the final Remi fight when you can just enter it with 5 lives and bomb everything
swift dune
I think you actually get slightly more lives/bombs on Lunatic in this game 🤔
Lunatic makes more enemies spawn during the stage segments, which means more enemies to kill to fill up your gauge.
Which means, more bomb/life pieces.

Knowing about the video for the video for ages, but coming back after becoming a Touhou fan and noticing I can name everyone now is lowkey really graitifying lol
willow solstice
Only being able to name a little over half of them just goes to show how much I'm missing

If it's anything, the video only uses character from 6-10, with the lone exception of Elly, since uh
This song, and her is from Touhou 4 lol
so, if you ever go through those games, you can name everyone here :p
Actually, speaking of that:
Fun fact, there's a lost extended version of the Bad Apple MV that was made for a concert once, it actually featured more characters, including ones from Touhou 11: Subterrenean Animism, since it came out between these two videos
This video by Megapig9001 covers the history of it more, I like it

My favorite it's either 15.5 or 17.5

With Reitaisai coming soon this May, and it being 2 years since UM, news of a new mainline game may be imminent..

I wonder if I'd get a chance to pick up a trial disc of Th19 there, if it does show up..

I'll be on a trip to Japan w/ fam soon, I'll be there in time for Reitaisai :>
Ticket sales aren't open yet, but they'll be up this April 8th, I think?
Hoping I can get that sorted
mint cloud
maybe try buying online
swift dune
I'm pretty sure they're online tickets, it's just a matter of navigating the ticket site that's JP-only
I'll be fine on that front, I'm sure of it
I just hope to be able to bring home some cool merch (not just from Reitaisai, but in general)

Touhou Jyuuouen: Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost
It's another game in PoFV/PoDD's style :D
The trial version of Touhou 19 is set to release this Reitaisai and Steam this May 8th, and will feature 5 playable characters:
- Reimu Hakurei
- Marisa Kirisame
- Aunn Komano
- Nazrin
- Seiran
and many, many more await in the full version aa

Touhou 19: Eastern Magic Spark

I do realize
Given the stages these are on...
We could be seeing Sekibanki again
Or even Nitori or Hina
(One image matches Seki's stage, the other either can be a day version of Hina's or a summer version of Nitori's)
And the beasts are the one giving everyone all the power—
Look to Reimu's outfit 
And it's not just Yachie otter spirits that come at you either 👀
...or maybe I'm looking too much into this 
mint cloud
eople is theorizing its gonna be the animals in the Lunar Calendar
but of course it's very likely we'll see more animals than those
We have Aunn (dog), Seiran (rabbit), and Nazrin (rat)
For the rest we could see Shou (tiger, also Nazrin's partner), Kutaka (rooster) and Urumi (ox/cow/bull).
The snake could be either Kanako or Sanae, but I'm inclined for the latter
We also have the three leaders of the Animal Yakuza, Saki, Yachie and Yuuma (horse, dragon and goat)
Monkey and pig doesn't exist in the roster, so those could be an new character
I think we might also see Momoyo or Megumu considering the use of the cards
swift dune
While I'm not sure about who pig could be (probably a new char), monkey could already be filled by someone, that being..
Her title in this game is apparently, "Strongest Primate Magician"
While I do think the Chinese zodiac idea is pretty possible, I do wonder whether considering there's 19 slots, Touhou 19 might want to try having a rep from each mainline game, too
The existing cast we have now has HRtP, SoEW, UFO, LoLK and HSiFS represented, which leaves 14 more games left to fill, ofc.
mint cloud
I think the game will evade characters from 9 and before since POFV used them on its entirety
A exception could be the common protagonists (Sakuya or Youmu)

He got like, really excited, he was super friendly to us, despite the fact that I could barely talk Japanese and had to rely on my friend for most communication haa
From what I understand, he's performed before in Malaysia back in like, 2016

So I downloaded a touhou game on my phone, it’s pretty fun
I forget the exact name, it’s “Thousand” something or other
It’s not that good compared to the rest of the touhou series, but compared to the garbage like candy crush you’d normally get on phones, it’s practically a masterpiece
viscid fog
thousand night anamnesis I think it be
gloomy garden
Yeah it’s nice to have if you’re ever bored waiting around for something
Don’t expect the standard touhou structure though
It’s a straight up boss rush, no stages
It’s kind of a greatest hits of past touhou bosses

I've tried Thousand Night Anamnesis before, it is aight indeed..

Out of pure curiosity, how many people in this thread own Tabletop Simulator?
Because, if we have enough players, I do wonder if we could organize a little session where I introduce ya'll to Danmaku!!, a fun Touhou-themed card game that I've had the pleasure of playing both IRL and through TTS
https://danmaku.party/
It requires 4 players minimum to play (although it's arguably best to play w/ 5), and it's a fun card game that has some elements of social deduction, and lots of shooting/throwing spell cards at each other, it's great. :D
mint cloud
I actually got it gifted to me, would have to check if I can run it
Is there any date you'd like to play?
swift dune
I don't have a particular date in mind, although it'd be best if it were on late Friday night/Saturday morning for me, I think.
My timezone being GMT+8 is gonna make planning tricky, but I'm sure we'll be fine regardless
mint cloud

That'd be one more needed to try the game out..
Actually looks really interesting, very curious how to play this one.
It requires tabletop simulator?
swift dune
Well, to play the game online, you would need Tabletop Simulator, yes.
(unless we can all somehow teleport to each other and play the game physically)
Hmm, the Summer Sale's over, so TTS is sadly not on sale now.. 😔

Will do!
swift dune
~~How fun would that be?~~
It'd be fun if I even had a physical copy, but sadly, both the game and shipping from the US is expensive..
..I guess I could go through the effort of printing the cards out, but that's too much effort.

Out of all the Touhou x OMORI art I've seen, the Prismrivers here fit surprisingly well :o

Oh I knew it!
These are the Prismriver sisters!
But...
Who's in the bottom left during battle?
swift dune
That's Layla Prismriver, the 4th Prismriver sister.
She's never seen in the games, only ever mentioned in the official bios for the Prismriver Sisters..
swift dune
Mm, when it comes to these unseen characters in Touhou, Layla's worth reading about, I think.
The Prismrivers have an interesting backstory..

How's the game so far?
Debating on picking it up, but still haven't gotten too far into 16 yet
||Though I'm aware of returning / new characters (or at least their names)||

Hmm..
It's alright, I personally like it just playing singleplayer in story mode/CPU matches
It's a big shame that online play is pretty unusable, just like in the demo still

Wait so is touhou just a fighting game series now?
mint cloud
this specific entry is all 1v1 battles
so of course its also oriented to 1v1 local and online, therefore it has tier lists
swift dune
Wait so is touhou just a fighting game series now?
Yee, Supbar's right, the newest Touhou game here is focused on 1-on-1 battles, in a similar style to Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream and Phantasmagoria of Flower View, Touhous 4 and 9, but it's still still very much a bullet-hell shmup.
swift dune
(There hasn't been a new fighting game in a while, I hope one comes along at some point..)

Has the English patch for the newest game been released? Or is this still in development?
swift dune
Most of th19's translation seems done by now, last I checked.
thcrap will regularly update itself as more translation work is done, without you needing to grab a new patch or anything, so you're free to apply thcrap onto Touhou 19, and play.

Perfect, thanks ^^
Gameplay seems quick and fun, so gonna pick it up 👀

Send in the link and I shall do
Never heard the themes from 1, 2, 3, or 5; though have heard all others at least (more than) once
ionic trench
viscid fog
swift dune
Screw it, if I'm gonna make a final boss theme tier list, I figure I should make one for the extra bosses too.
I think.. I'm surprised at how much I ended up liking Hidden Star in All Seasons on this, but no it just hits really well, enough for me to put it up in S
and, same goes for U.N. Owen was Her being lower, I suppose.
I think just going off of the original song, it's just alright for me, but..
I feel like that song massively goes up if I decided to take doujin arranges into account, which..
yeah U.N. Owen has no shortage of rearranges there, a.. scary amount..
and I like a fair bit of them...
Heian Alien and Hartmann's Youkai Girl being at the top is not surprising for me, though...
mint cloud
I think UN Owen is a great song but I get burnout of it very fast
in regards of the original
willow solstice
ionic trench
may as well~
I don't really take into account fan-made arranges for this :p just the original track yeah
I think Mamizou's theme has grown on me a lot specifically, I like the bounciness of it
UN Owen is the first Touhou track I ever heard and many years later it still hits
one of the strangest songs ZUN has written ❤️
swift dune
I love our generally differing opinions for a good amount of songs, and yet..
Mugetsu's theme, Icemilk Magic is dead last, and Heian Alien is close to the top for all 3..
mint cloud
ok ill do mine
final bosses themes
(i dont know PC 98 enough to judge)
and extra bosses
i dont really care for Extra themes that much though
specially at the bottom

I wonder, if I could double-dip on getting Kogasa and Nue fumos when they are available for order at some point..
The yen dropping in value makes that a little easier, ha....
swift dune
I'm addicted to tier lists help
I've decided to give ranking extra stage themes a shot now..
With the exception of Rika, Mugetsu and Alice, the extra stage midboss represents the extra stage here..
(No King Card portrait haaaa)
So, don't mind confusing cases like Nue representing Youkai Back Shrine Road, or Ran representing Charming Domination ~ Who done it?
but anyways
using midbosses to represent the extra stage themes is great because it's an excuse to put Dai in S tier :>>>>
(I love Loose Rain)
Alice in Wonderland being my favorite PC-98 song period also made it an easy S tier choice
mint cloud
i care for extra stages wayy less than i do for extra bosses haha
dont think theres a single song I come back often, but I do respect how good they are
Romance in the Night Sky is the only one I come back to, there's great ones like 10 or 18 or 11 or 8
swift dune
lol that's fine, I respect that you come back to UFO Romance in the Night Sky at least
That song's genuinely up there for one of my fav tracks overall

I like Aya, I like Mystia.. a lot, I even like Kutaka a fair bit nowadays
maybe bird girls are cool

Anyone know where you can find assets for some of the mainline games for this?
Looking for specifically character portraits and backgrounds especially, though they're incredibly difficult to find

Hypothetically if the assets are stored as pictures you might be able to rip them from the game files
Also I remember seeing a website that’s an archive for all sorts of game sprites so you might be able to find that stuff there
I think it was called “the spriter’s resource”, but don’t quote me on that

Have a few games on my device currently, but am unsure how to do that in theory
How would this be possible?

Idk, some games that kinda thing is harder than others
viscid fog
On Mac it’s easy; Windows be another story 
gloomy garden
If it’s on computer just kinda dig around through the files and eventually you should find something if it’s not compressed in some way
Oh
I think you need to go to users>appdata iirc
Then find the game you’re looking for
I’m not an expert
It’s a chain of like 5 directories to get to even close to where you actually want usually
Alternatively you might be able to search for a file name but that’s pretty hit or miss
Honestly it’s easier said than done to go through the files, you kinda just have to get lucky
WAIT
IDEA
I HAVE AN BRAINCELL
if you run the game and then open task manager you might be able to go directly to the file locations if you right click on the game’s task
