Re: Touhou Online for the FFR Community

Also, if anyone has any insight on why chidori! has problems, post. His latency with Xiao was 453ms, while it was 92 with me. No idea where he lives, but it's quite extraordinary.

Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States of America

He's supposed to live there!
As for me i live in Quebec, close to Ontario, so it wont be a problem i guessed

chidori!: Did you try the tutorial on youtube? (the link in Post 1) otherwise i don't know what the problem is!

Re: Touhou Online for the FFR Community

To Xiao: What.

Adding PoFV section...

Re: Touhou Online for the FFR Community

The netplay is UNSTABLE, not unplayable. You can still play, but it'll end up very laggy if you don't live nearby (as in inter continentally. Sorry Asians).

Re: Touhou Online for the FFR Community

PoFV added, to the extent of my understanding.

I'd like to test PoFV online with someone (preferably Lily).

Add PoFV stats, or generic danmaku stats would do fine.

Re: Touhou Online for the FFR Community

I'd play PoFV but I am absolutely HORRIBLE at danmaku.

Re: Touhou Online for the FFR Community

I've never played PoFV, but wouldn't battles last longer if the players are good at shmups? Would it be nearly endless with 2 people capable of 1cc'ing EoSD Lunatic?

Not really since the bullets are literally randomized. Most danmaku in other games has a pattern that helps you capture cards. This is all luck-based.

PS: Maybe I should try. I'm fairly decent in it.

Re: Touhou Online for the FFR Community

Any game could be endless really. Human concentration isn't perfect, and there is strategy in PoFV playing. I'm sure such a problem wouldn't affect any of us though.

Someone post a palette tutorial...

Even then there are plenty of people who could dodge it for ages, particularly if a beginner has a chance in hell. I haven't played PoFV or even watched any videos, but if the bullets don't become MUCH denser in higher-level play, stalemates would be nearly inevitable.

Re: Touhou Online for the FFR Community

Could I ask why you guys don't play SWR? The game has some major issues, but it's still very playable and nothing is game-breaking, and Tasofro has a history of making major gameplay changes in patches, so you know they're gonna try to fix it.

*EDIT*

*EDIT*

I don't like any of the new mechanics, particularly the new spirit system and the spellcard decks. That, and A/B specials are now B/C. Not worth my time to learn both games, I much prefer IaMP anyways.

Weather is pretty broken too, IMO. Tilts some matches retardedly:

Spring Haze
Effects: Completely disables all normal melee attacks (pushing the A button results in no action), though special moves with melee properties are not disabled. Spirit refills without any delay after firing bullets or using special moves.

Typhoon
Effects: Characters gain superarmor and will not enter hitstun, and also lose the ability to block.

Drizzle
Effects: Spellcard Damage increases.

Wtf is that?

The rest aren't as bad, but they're far too gimmicky to make matches completely consistent, I would say.

i love gabba, join the Hamachi network and sign on MSN

CowCaster is not an installer, and cannot play online without someone else.

SWR: Turn the weather off... solves one problem. Sac Mrs said to think of it as a whole new game that shouldn't be compared to IaMP. Like I played IaMP by forgetting SWR existed, maybe you can play SWR by forgetting IaMP existed, or at least not incorporating IaMP ideals.

In other news: I made my first custom palette for Remilia. Dark Lunar Remilia, yay (Lunar Legend based).
