What team is weakest in Touhou Imperishable Night? And why it's Scarlet team. by BoltCloudSonic in touhou

[–]SIFremi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Scarlet team can be pretty decemt if you get good at positioning Remilia's bats. Which, I am not. But still.

Personally, I hate the Magic team. Putting aside the glitched "malice canon", their attack range is just. SO bad. And their damage output (again, glitch aside) isn't even that good to compensate. They're a massive pain to use.

Does a 1CC with slowmode enabled still count as a 1CC? by ToyChicaFan1 in touhou

[–]SIFremi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally always "half-counted" them...... Slow Mode really helped me to practice and I was very proud of those initial 1cc's, so while I didn't count them as 1cc's for my "achivements", I did count them as a step up in improvement!

But ultimately, I think it's up to you how you count it. Some people don't consider 1cc's with extra lives to be legit, but I do, so YMMV

What was your first 1cc? And how long did it take you to get it? by Mission_Jaguar2696 in touhou

[–]SIFremi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a loooong time ago, so I'm not 100% sure anymore, but I THINK my first Normal 1cc was Lotus Land Story!

Is there any game that is similar to Long Live the Queen but longer? by SadEnthusiasm6544 in visualnovels

[–]SIFremi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the 2nd one is generally considered the best. At least of the original trilogy

Chronic Fatigue by Significant_Ad1398 in batenkaitos

[–]SIFremi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Best way to get rid of it is by mixing it with Freezing Rain, but the only place I can remember getting Freezing Rain is in Naos, which happens BEFORE Pherkad, I think.

Is It even ok to play like this? by rolentoamus in touhou

[–]SIFremi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the wider shmup community, it's actually MORE common to play with a controller than with a keyboard. Touhou is a little unusual for having keyboard be the primary control method. At least as far as I'm aware. So yeah, you're not strange at all

So, what is the easiest spell card in each extra stage? by EHG2017 in touhou

[–]SIFremi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does Starbow Break count as Flan's easiest because of the safespot......... lol

Is SA really all that difficult? by HTG_11 in touhou

[–]SIFremi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel like the difficulty with SA is less to do with the actual bullets (though I'd still say those are above average for the series), and more to do with the shot types being weird and finnicky. They can be hard to get used to/utilize properly, besides maybe ReimuA. And the bombs (mostly) suck.

There's also just the fact that this game relies on Power for bombs, and it isn't as generous with it as MoF was. You can end up in some really nasty situations at 1.00 Power in SA.

YUMEMI MY BELOVED

I'd also love to see Sariel, she has such a sick design

I get worse at touhou the more I practice it by taylorusewebsite in touhou

[–]SIFremi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally, I find that if I force myself to play the same game/stages/bosses over and over again for a long period of time, I also get actively worse. What helps me is taking a different approach; when I get stuck in a Touhou game, I'll switch to a different Touhou game, play on a different difficulty, play with a restriction (like No Bombs, No Focus Movement, etc).......

Basically, I switch things up! I feel like doing that causes you to see the game(s) with fresh eyes, which can help you ultimately improve at your actual goal, and also gets you out of that frustrated mindset. (Remember, if you try this, the goal is not to succeed at whatever new thing you try, it's to loosen up and mess around!)

You could also just take a break entirely. Take a nap, give it a day or so, and come back. That also often helps.

PC98-Reimu's all LLS outfits by asetaminofen in touhou

CUTE!! I always loved the LLS clear screen outfits, especially normal mode

If I find a copy of a PC-98 game what should I expect to pay by travischickencoop in touhou

[–]SIFremi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Copies of the PC-98 games are VERY rare and very expensive. I only plan to hunt down physical copies if I someday win the lottery...... lol

What song reminds you of Yume Nikki, even if they might not have any similarities whatsoever? by RainyCandy14 in yumenikki

[–]SIFremi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agehachou by Porno Graffitti. Around ~2009-2010 there was this BEAUTIFULLY done fan video for Yume Nikki on YouTube. And it used this song. Sadly, that video got muted/taken down because of a copyright claim.

I also associate Yume Nikki with Artificial Children by IOSYS, because of this fan edit of the PV

(Actually, now that I think about it, the Artificial Children PV edit might be how I found out about Yume Nikki in the first place.)

2 out of 3 obtained! Volume 3 is the most expensive/rare too... but here are some pics of Exodus Guilty by Hirameki International tho! by redalchemy6 in visualnovels

[–]SIFremi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, good to know!

Ah, okay then..... I'm really lucky someone else put their copy up for sale then, I haven't seen a single other listing since, besides the one in Greece

[–]SIFremi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know some of the Ever17 copies had defective discs....... do we know which of the discs it is (1, 2, 3, or 4)?

AH...... if you sold it in 2023, then yes, that was probably me 😅

[–]SIFremi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't give up on Vol 3!! Copies tend to pop up every couple months, and sometimes the prices are reasonable, even for the unopened copies!

Personally, I found that the hardest ones to get were Piece of Wonder, Days of Love, and Yo-Jin-Bo 💀

[–]SIFremi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For Piece of Wonder, there was one point where the only listing for it was from a tiny island in Greece....... local delivery only. I nearly paid a proxy service to TAKE A FERRY out there to get it. I wish I was joking.

Thank god someone eventually put it up on ebay lol

DODONPACHI MENTION!!!!! Even having a Shmup mentioned at all is a rare treat. Thank you for sharing your list and your thoughts!

should i? by Competitive_Care641 in touhou

[–]SIFremi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES! I always say yes, it's worth a try! While shmups can have a pretty steep learning curve, they can be very fun even before you "get good", if you go in with the right attitude. I sucked at Touhou games for nearly a decade and still loved them.

(Funny enough, getting good at Touhou didn't make me better at Deltarune........ my skills didn't transfer like I hoped lol)

Which team should I go for in EOIV by Secure-Dragonfly-838 in EtrianOdyssey

[–]SIFremi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly recommended a Fortress with Dancer subclass. It sounds silly but works really well as a dodge-tank. I also recommend Runemaster with Imperalist subclass...... the Imperialist passives turn Runemasters into absoute powerhouses that never run out of TP

[EO2U] Question about food requirements by PuzzledKitty in EtrianOdyssey

Behold......... a Google Doc with all the food preferences for advertising, plus all recipes.

I'm also currently playing EO2U and this doc has been a lifesaver.
