Touhou 18.5: 100th Black Market - 3rd Market

[@Youhadabadday2021]

If I had a nickel for every time Touhou had a pattern based on the Red Stone of Aja from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice, right?

[@neetamoori8690]

I swear the worst enemy in that market are those goddamn blue pinwheels because i died countless times trying to catch them thinking they were bullet money. Also Komachi, you're too late, Impossible Spellcard was 9 games ago

[@TearMetoBitsDarling]

less than 30 seconds in and we're talking about dead children. this is what touhou is about baybeee!!! 🔥🔥

[@donipamungkas5370]

there is basically no dead concept in touhou while immortal is un-dead ghost is un-living

[@broccoliiandcheese4491]

I like how dependent Komachi’s attacks are on the magic circle. Even if it’s just a Clownpiece spell ripoff, it’s creativity like this that I wish was seen through the entire game. Also, Eika’s spell card wasn’t translated in game? Maybe she got a mint condition, OG line from the video game store.

For some reason thcrap has trouble translating spell names in hbm sometimes. Usually it can, but sometimes it doesn't

[@x-nimator9997]

For some reason zun tends to be a bit more lazy danmaku wise on spinoffs lately, but it didnt come near as bad as a certain spinoff ...right violet detector?

CHICKEN!!! YAY!!! Sorry, got a little excited there. Thank you ZUN for bringing Kutaka back more than once. Nothing much to say this episode other than notable cards. -Law of the Survival of the Fittest - If you take a lot of Ringo Brand Dumplings, you'll notice a lot of them will start missing. This patches that right up, making your shots have much bigger hitboxes. -Offensive Jeweled Pagoda - Another good damage equipment card. Very good for shotgunning. -Dragon Pipe - More of a long-run card than anything else, what this does is give you an extra life every 3 waves.

For the "Onibi Drop" pattern, you can shuffle the bullets by slowing them with the circle, reusing them as more come down, getting more bullet money than you otherwise would.

It'll be interesting to see what you think of Touhou 19. 100th Black Market looks nice, might get it myself.

[@cienciandre]

17:45 nice sync ^^

[@snowyarticuno]

This was a stage that almost just stopped me entirely. The whiplash of the possible encounters really added up and I was having really bad visibility issues, especially depending where in the stage certain waves can spawn. It's easier to keep track of in a replay but sometimes in the midst of it all you just run into bullets or worse ghosts that blend in too much. I had less overall problems with the following stages, instead just having issues on the bosses.

[@IvanBaAl961]

I don't know if you already completed the game, but it's about to get brutal. Still, I had a lot of fun with my "power is everything" strategy.

[@donipamungkas5370]

zun is getting drunk with these difficulty naming

[@ephraimium6755]

Hey MegamanOmega any chance will you play Blue Devil in the Belvedere or Abyss Soul Lotus?

[@MegamanOmega184]

Yup, eventually. Both are on the fangame poll I put up before every new fangame take.supersurvey.com/poll5064870xC6b34Aa5-154 When they win, I'll gladly play them (though in the case of Blue devil in the Belvedere, I'll be playing the author's earlier games first, like how I played The Shattered Sky before playing Servants of Harvest Wish) Edit* Though as of right now, I'm getting through the official games, and then the three fangames that won previously. So as it currently stands, my upcoming schedule looks like this Finish 100th Black Market Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost Ephemeral Unnatural Balance Marine Benefit Sapphire Panlogism Then the winner of that poll. Though if Touhou 20 comes out sometime between then and now, I'll slot that in and play that first.

[@Areon103]

Yeah, magic circle based cards are broken in this game. If you get max out Byakuren, Aunn and Futo cards, than you have acces to Magic Circle cannon. Add to it Flans card and you don't need to dodge.
