Hey Yas Forums i wanna get into touhou

I started with Mystic Square since I'm not running Windows and Neko Project II was easier to set up than Wine.
It was alright, didn't finish it though.

Ten Desires

Start with 6+hitbox viewer then work your way up. Normal mode will have all 6 stages, easy won’t.

don't bother. circlejerking fags on Yas Forums and /jp/ praise the fuck out of the games while the games themselves are probably the most bare stgs out there and the lore is simply plain awful

Why does SA get so much praise when the shot types are such shit?

cool!

t. butthurt CAVE fag

Emulate the PC-98 and start with Touhou 2.

>hating MarisaPatch

Because literally everything except the shitty shot types is top tier. Personally I just pretend that ReimuA is canon and everything else is a challenge run

You can probably figure this out, but all of these oldfags telling you to start out earlier than PCB are tryhards that should be ignored. Those might be worth going back to for history’s sake but they’re way too primitive to be a good intro game

>queues Eirin ptsd
Its impossible to be mad while listening to voyager 1969/70 though

Both Marisa A and B are top fun.
The shot types are not crap, they are different, and part of SA's charm.

Because there is more to a game than just shot types

> not Marisa and Patchouli
kek

Then fuck offf from touhou you stupid twat

what does the C stand for?

Cucumbers

The kappa need a Dwarf Fortress-ish spin-off of their own.

PCB is a great starting place because its probably the easiest normal and really you just have to focus on shooting and bombing. No complicated mechanics. Also you get to play against Youmu

What we need is a Zachlike game where you're an up and coming Kappa who wants to master the one thing humans seem capable of that Kappa aren't: mass production.
I mean, picture it.
Kappa invent things. But they basically only invent ONE of a thing. Building two objects exactly the same seems entirely foreign to them because they're the fantasy image of an inventor, they put together parts, make a proof of concept, and then abandon that model forever. If someone asked them to make it again they'd be starting from scratch, mostly.
One Kappa isn't so good at that life. She's secure enough in her profession, she pulls a bit of money, but she keeps seeing PERFECTLY IDENTICAL things slip in from the outside world and it's driving her insane. It takes a skilled blacksmith to make two swords that look the same to the untrained eye, and another competent blacksmith could probably point out the subtler differences, and even aside from all that they mostly tend to make one kind of thing that well. Swords, spears, maybe a few different kinds of weapon or armor or tool if they're exceptionally skilled
But then when she sees her fiftieth outside world AA battery with near perfectly consistent size, shape, and weight, that nagging feeling in the back of her head that her impression of outsiders- "there's a lot of them, so there must be a lot of master batterysmiths"- solidifies. She has to figure out what they DO have.
It just so happens that Kourindou has a book from the outside world on mass production. Other Kappa had looked at it and decided it was inelegant metal-shaping, something they barely even needed- our protagonist devours it and gets to work immediately.
The Kappa will overcome their final barrier if she has to drag them past it kicking and screaming.
