Not MANoumu, that's for sure. Given the aged appearance he's more than likely to be Youki.

*sigh* Well, I was planning on never posting in this forum, but because you're making a touhou beatmap, and you go on MoTK, I'll help you. Everyone else can ignore me and this post. It'd be preferable that everyone else ignores this post actually.

1)A replay of you playing would be nice

2)Don't use ReimuA for EoSD Extra. Fantasy Seal is useless on Flandre due to bomb immunity and ReimuA's shot damage sucks, both from far away and while shot gunning. Use either ReimuB or MarisaA. MarisaB is for scoring purposes only(read:Master Sparking the stage), I believe.

3)Royal Flare is a pain in the ass with all shot types except MarisaA, where it's a joke. If you can dodge the first wave, you can capture the card with MarisaA. ReimuB does have a small advantage on Silent Selene and Philosopher's Stone though.

4)Maze of Love will require you to unfocus with Reimu, but with Marisa, you can dodge it focused the whole time, provided you stay close enough(Around Flandre's spell circle during that card). Maze of Love just requires practice, as it's the same every time.

5)Start close to Patchy on Philosopher's. This is useful, because it allows you to dodge downwards, which means you stay infront of Patchy longer, and it's generally easier to dodge downwards anyways.

6)Bomb more. You may be dying with bombs. Don't. Proper Bomb Spamming Management is an important skill.

7)All of Flandre's cards are actually trick based, or easy, minus the last two.

But enough talk.Have at you. Watch this replay of me doing a no bomb clear of EoSD Extra...>_>

Too Lazy to reupload the replay file here, so have a link

It should show you the general method of dodging pretty much every spellcard, and how not to die during the stage. You however, probably won't be capturing some of the cards I captured, so I suggest proper bomb "management". Unfortunately, I died on Philosopher's, Maze of Love, and "And then will there be none?", but I should've and could've captured all of them. =V

PS: Hi Doomsday, Cyclone, and whatever Sol/IPD goes by here. I'll trade you guys my touhou skills for your osu skills. =3

Oh hi there.

I never posted my replay of EoSD extra did i?

here we go:

http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=3819

Mind you, this is my only current clearing of this stage, and i like to figure out on my own how to beat these cards, rather than study other replays



Also, in case you are interested, i've made a touhou map that recently got ranked. More touhou maps to come as well.

I recently found an album which pays heavy homage to SWR's arrangements, and the circle's name (transliterated) is "Kitsune's Music Factory" (狐の工作室).

Or is it posted here before?

Ok so I can beat IN's Extra stage and capture enough cards (everything but Fujiyama Volcano and Hourai Doll) to reach "Imperishable Shooting."

...But I can't finish PCB on Easy without continuing. What the hell?!
Slain087
PCB Easy is practically the hardest of the Easy Modes - the gap is close enough that some have mentioned that PCB Easy is Normal Lite. In comparison, Mokou is about the second easiest of the Extra bosses (Suwako is easiest, supposedly), despite the Purple Rings of Death that is her last noncard.

In addition, many of the cards are hard enough that even some Normal and Hard players cannot reliably capture (Rez Butterfly, for example). In fact, many of them are pretty much patternless dodging (e.g. Pentagram Flight E, Guaneri del Gesu).

In comparison, a lot of Mokou's cards are gimmicky (ref. Honest Man's Death, Flaw of Forgiving Shrine), so it's relatively easy to cap seven of them in one go, even if you horribly phail at EX-Keine's cards.

And there's the whole deathbomb timing thing (if you're playing Border Team, you're probably using all of your bombs. In comparison through PCB, you're likely losing 2 or 3 bombs per life).

As for recently, (sorry about this man), I got a no-focus 1cc of PCB Easy, which, while containing a lot of fails (10 misses?), does have some surprising moments, like a cap of Sumizome Perfect Blossom (the penultimate card) and a near-cap of Lost Soul's Village.

If it makes you feel any better, I did the same thing. Really.
Lybydose
Actually EX-Keine's cards are the easiest except Xu Fu's Dimension, which is stupid easy, and I'm using Scarlet Team (I don't like Border Team's really slow movement).

As for PCB, I do fine up until the last stage. Then I die to Yuyuko over and over.
Slain087
*Blinks*

Damn, I hate EX-Keine's cards. Returning-Bridge Ichijo is the only one I can reliably capture - and that's not even a 100% thing.
Lybydose
I don't think I've failed Next History of Phantasm a single time since I figured out a decent strat in spell practice (where I was previously having only a 20% or so success rate). I could probably time it out now. Past History is slightly more difficult, but I rarely fail it anymore.

One of my other problems with PCB is that I can't decide which character to use. I suck at bombing if I don't use Reimu, but I hate Reimu's move speed.

EDIT: Ok yeah, just timed out Next History of Phantasm on the 2nd try.
EDIT2: Apparently it's NEXT history, not last...

Awesome!

OK let me try my best on translating it....

SPOILER
Basically, on the story page, it tells the sunlight is blocked during Gensokyo's Summer Season and the temperature is lukewarm (lol), as "you" rush home, you look down the mountain then mentions that "she" is one of them where looked down upon. Kind of vague, although I'm not good at Japanese
OK let's see on the characters. It's in the form of them narrating as far as I can understand, Sanae is dreaming about anime robots attacking the village and causing the strange summer. Cirno, saying she's excited and flying around because of the unusual Summer, she saw suddenly in the midst of fogs, a giant monster of some sort in metallic form, Cirno suddenly got frantic and out of curiosity went away investigating the monster. Meiling, guarding as usual, hearing a noisy mansion, thinking that Remilia is happy about the unusual dark Summer. Suddenly, Meiling felt a vague anxiety as she saw from the mountains a huge figure, thinking since the Scarlet Devil Mansion seems busy, and she has nothing to do, she went to enjoy her boring day by investigating the strange huge figure.




I'm really excited about this.

EDIT:
lol I suck at translating, Cyclone found the correct translations now.

Story:

SPOILER
That morning was a little dark, as if something was blocking the rays of the sun. Could it be because of the morning mist that had unexpectedly appeared in the middle of summer?

Having leapt out of your home into the mist you were expecting to let you forget about the heat, it is no wonder you would be startled to have that swaying "thing" appear before your eyes.

This man-shaped "thing", venting disgusting tepid steam, staggered forward as if gazing up at the mountain.

--From up on the summery mountain, as hot and busy as it always was, she gazed down upon the man-shaped "thing".




Sanae:

SPOILER
Two short years had passed since she first came to Gensokyo. At first, she was in such awe of its bizarre inhabitants that she couldn't even perform her rituals properly, but now she was on friendly terms with them, and could perform her usual work just fine.

She thought she would not be surprised by anything any more. But of course, Gensokyo is the kind of place that will manage to startle anyone who believes so. That is one of Gensokyo's strong points in comparison to the outside world.

From the Moriya Shrine, she had seen the shape of a giant man. It was taller by far than the shrine itself - in her own old-fashioned terms, it was on the scale of a ten-story highrise.

To her, it looked like a giant robot from the anime she used to watch long ago.

But for a robot, it moved too smoothly. It moved as if alive, sometimes looking longingly at the mountains, sometimes glaring down at the villages. And suddenly, it was wrapped in fog, disappearing in eery silence.

When she informed Kanako of what she had seen, Kanako told her about the Spectre of the Brocken. The Spectre of the Brocken is a weather phenomenon where your own shadow is reflected in the mist as a seemingly giant figure.

But no matter whether it actually was just a weather phenomenon, believing it was so would take all the fun out of your possible trains of thought. So she decided to believe it was a giant robot attacking the villages below. That way, it would be fun to investigate.

Yes, this was definitely no shadow reflected in the mist. The mist had appeared after the man-shape, but most importantly, this was Gensokyo, a place where nothing, no matter how strange, is ever unexpected.




Cirno:

SPOILER
The little fairy was excited as ever. Today it was because she had seen that thing that was taller than a mountain.

Of course, it was it was also further away than the mountains, so it wasn't very big, but from looking at it, she felt there wasn't much of a difference between them. It had quickly been enveloped in mist and she lost sight of it, but she was sure of what she'd seen. That was the great youkai Daidarabocchi, no doubt about it.

With no idea where should stay, but filled with excitement at seeing such a rare youkai, the miko had left the youkai mountain.

"Have you seen a giant ro... a large moving thing around here?" asked the miko, starting her search through the mist.

The little fairy for some reason started feeling annoyed at this, and felt that since she had seen it first, it should belong to her.

"Nope, haven't seen Daidarabocchi at all!" she answered, to fool the miko.

She had set out to search for the great youkai on her own, out of pure curiosity.




Meiling:

SPOILER
The Scarlet Devil Mansion was as busy that day as it always was. The gate keeper was giving a report to the mistress of the house, Remilia Scarlet, who was cheerfully paying it no attention.

The gate keeper was feeling a vague sense of unease. During the morning, she had seen the shape of a giant man at the foot of the mountain. It had then vented tepid steam around it, and disappeared.

What could it have been? It was as big as the giant bird Peng, and spewed ominous smoke. She was sure of it - it was the shape of Taisuei-shengjun, the Embodiment of Misfortune.

Now all the youkai of Gensokyo must stand together and fight this evil god that has appeared in their midst, she reported to the mistress of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Needless to say, her recommendation was not heeded.

As she reflected later, she perhaps exaggerated a bit, in order to brighten up her dull everyday life a little.

SCREW YOU STAGE 5 BOSS. SCREW YOU AND YOUR LAZERS.

As you might have noticed, I'm a bit irritated at the Stage 5 boss. More specifically, the Spell Card with the rotating green laser. If it weren't for those goddamn rice bullets...

And again, I suck at deathbombing. Haven't gotten to 12.3 yet; I'll cool down with Warning Forever for a bit before I try that.

Also, :cry: at no Stage 4 gimmick.



EDIT: 12.3: It looks like our two new characters have their own gimmicks. (9)'s got a slow fall, and Sanae gets her goddesses. I haven't yet gone up in a real fight against China, but I don't think she got anything new. Also, yay at Dichromatic Butterfly ~ Ancients as Reimu's theme.

i see some of you having trouble to make them playable in UNL


1. put DLed th12.3 to 10.5 folder, make sure your th105.exe and th123.exe in the same folder.
2. use this full line configex123.ini
Download: configex123.rar

then change your th105 path like before.

Neo@lex
Right, a few hours ago I decided to try fucking around with Soku using Cheat Engine.
The giant catfish is completely unplayable. The very moment you start the match it crashes.
Same goes for the giant doll.
In arcade and story, the game can be changed to 2P mode, except when player 2 dies, there are no spellcards. The level moves on as if you've defeated the character. This works with Sanae and Cirno, but not China; it crashes when the fish is supposed to appear.
If you change the game type to practice or VS com in story or arcade, you will be controlled by the computer, with the difficulty at the same level as the opponent.
The best part is the character values. If you freeze it on the character you want, you can play through story with everyone except Utsuho and Suwako. It loads the character's SWR story, complete with the old-style dialog. You can play it right up to the end, but when Tenshi uses her spellcards where she makes large rocks appear from the ground, you cannot land on them, you just hover as if falling; if Tenshi manages to catch you in the first one, neither of you will be able to move. If you stay on the ground in the second one, Tenshi will be the only one who is frozen, and you can just hit her with long-range moves.
After defeating EX Tenshi, the game will stop responding (this is what Pasonia may have been referencing), but fortunately, you can still save replays if you die or quit, and they will be viewable by anyone.
HP cannot be hacked. Only that little red afterglow can, and you still die when the bar runs out.
Stages can probably be hacked, but I don't care so I haven't bothered. Same goes for weather.
...maybe I should write a guide for this...

Also SiN, why have you not unlocked Utsuho?
Slain087
Something I bet many of you haven't noticed:

By moving the UNL files to SWR and deleting the config123.dat, you can transfer over the Spell Cards you have from SWR. Note that this will delete any UNL unlocks you already have, and you can just move UNL back after it hits the title screen.

And Mystical Chain seems to be insanely rare for a Touhou doujin game.
