we should definitely do this.

shadowbringer · « **Reply #62 on:** January 29, 2011, 03:42:13 AM »

going to participate, no matter how badly I do on it. If I don't participate, it's because I haven't had time to play, but I usually do last-minute runs :p (won't be as easy to even do last-minute runs, with DotS, SotW and other games :p)

still, this also serves as a warmup (for those interested) for STGT, in the sense that it improves my playing abilities until STGT is ready (organizers will be preparing, please wait warmly until it's ready)

please bear with me if I start cursing graze and faith meters, and please share useful advices if possible (for people with bad memorization such as myself, replays -- especially without commentary on the strategic bits -- aren't enough)

edit: oopsie, there's an incoming DotS tournament somewhere, and possibly an IaMP tournament (where I'd get DOUBLE BREAK'd by people like Yuuichi and Hendy -- but not limited to

), around February iirc. I'll see what I can dom but I'll still participate :p

I'd play in this thing. I pretty much never play Touhou anymore but I would if there was a thing to compete in!

The special challenge part of each week could vary quite a lot in difficulty; some might be 'see how far you can get without dying/bombing', or 'how much graze can you get', or 'how far can you get without focus', or 'how high a score can you get in this stage in stage practice'. They'll all be available on every difficulty, and clearing isn't a requirement, of course, so they're all attemptable regardless of difficulty.

I'll give any of the challenges a shot, even the exaggerated Reimu/Aya challenge I stated earlier. Hell, I took a cue from chirpy and tried it anyway. The result was horrendous, but it was still hectic and very fun.

Seriously though, I hope we don't have to worry about 90 FPS runs. I don't really want to mess with vsync or Youtube videos. I doubt it'll be an issue, but I just wanted to throw that out there.

I'm eagerly awaiting the first challenge.

scherzo · « **Reply #65 on:** January 29, 2011, 09:03:53 PM »

I would be interested in participating in any non-scoring challenges. The more outrageous and silly the better! (I've long since stopped playing Touhou seriously)

Ghaleon · « **Reply #66 on:** January 29, 2011, 09:25:37 PM »

setting the fps in vsync.ini doesn't change the game's fps for me, so any turbo-mode challenges are impossible for me to even attempt >=(

Paper Conan · « **Reply #67 on:** January 29, 2011, 09:42:34 PM »

I want to give it a spin for sure.
I've taken a break from Touhou, but now I'm back and more ready than evarrrrr.

Is that how it's supposed to work? I don't need to use vsync for my Touhous, so I would have no clue. If it is, I'd like a confirmation (or someone to tell me how if not), since speed increases sound like fun challenges. Maybe not for the tourney because of potential technical issues, but I would definitely love to give it a try casually or something.

Naut · « **Reply #69 on:** January 30, 2011, 01:55:51 AM »

I would hope there would be no speed increase challenges, because of hardware limitations, vsync not correctly increasing the frame rate on some people's computers, and if CheatEngine is used then we can't really tell if you've actually played it at the desired fps from the replay. As cool as it would be, I don't think it's possible to do.

Reading this thread made me go try some stupid stuff XD

TH11 lunatic reimu/aya no focus as far as i could get on one set of lives. I got past Kisame at least

. Lost my first life right at the start

DarkslimeZ · « **Reply #72 on:** January 30, 2011, 04:03:48 AM »

I remember when I suggested this, then didn't do anything.

So of course i'll participate.

Paper Conan · « **Reply #73 on:** January 30, 2011, 04:05:50 AM »

My computer can only handle 150 fps :V
I can get to Party Start "Two Bows, Two Claps and One bow" with Reimu A, though~

edit:
Just came back from perfecting the stage portion + barely surviving Suwako at 90 fps like a motherfucker

trancehime · « **Reply #74 on:** January 30, 2011, 07:30:09 AM »

I'll only take part in anything GFW or PoFV related because I refuse to play other Windows Touhou games. You know me.

Seems pretty interesting though.

hnd03 · « **Reply #75 on:** January 30, 2011, 04:21:15 PM »

I'd say I'm competent enough to do this. Not great, but competent.

Sapz · « **Reply #76 on:** January 30, 2011, 11:47:35 PM »

A slight change of plan!

This tournament will happen once every two weeks rather than every week, and every second week will be a break week, which gives people a chance to go back to playing whatever it is they feel like without pressure. In addition to this, the weeks without the tournament will have Shooter of the Week (which is also becoming bi-weekly), and vice versa. This gives the people who would enjoy participating in both enough time to do so; learning how to score well in two games in the same week is extremely difficult.

Spoiler:

! :V

Anyone have any particular objections? I think this works better, but tell me if you guys think it doesn't.

Week 1 starts tomorrow, so get ready!

CrimsonDX · « **Reply #77 on:** January 30, 2011, 11:49:55 PM »

*shrug* seems fine to me. Can't wait to see what the first challenge is

chirpy13 · « **Reply #78 on:** January 31, 2011, 12:24:09 AM »

It's already tomorrow in Japan, and that's where Touhou's from after all! Though I doubt that will work on you... Fine, I shall be patient T_T

I guess sign me up for anything that isn't StB/DS/GFW/PoFV.

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #82 on:** January 31, 2011, 03:42:28 AM »

Please include PC98, not counting HRtP of course since I'd hope this stayed with the shooting games. Plus more game options then.

I could really use yet another reason to finally get those Lunatic clears done outside of just them being there.

Ghaleon · « **Reply #83 on:** January 31, 2011, 03:47:05 AM »

I thought pc98 games were looking bad because there was no way to save replays.

That makes me wonder though, any plans for some of the more recognized danfumaku scripts?

Sapz · « **Reply #84 on:** January 31, 2011, 03:52:32 AM »

As it stands, it's just the official Touhou STGs. It's possible that it could change in the future if we start running out of ideas or something, though. :V

PC-98 might start being added after a little while. The lack of replays, needing emulation and such makes them a bit less appealing than the Windows games, but I don't think there's any real problem with just screenshots given there's no alternative.

Naut has been doing this since it was announced, you'll have to try harder than that.

Agent of the BSoD · « **Reply #85 on:** January 31, 2011, 03:59:13 AM »

Yeah, PC98 would be cool, but the problem is that not everyone can get them to run properly, even when following my guide. It just depends on the computer. And if anyone were to get screenshots, I would recommend that you un-fullscreen them first since the printscreen button tends to fail when in fullscreen mode with most things.

You can screenshot fine from T98-Next, which is nice considering alt-enter doesn't exit fullscreen. Anex is another story, but at least alt-enter works with that. With that said, I recommend using Anex anyway if PC98 is included, since T98 usually has a higher than desirable slowdown... I never really noticed any slowdown when I used it for my extra runs (to be honest, I just used it to make the bullets more visible), but the 20-25% slowdown at the result screen speaks for itself I guess.

I won't bother, it starts in 45 mins anyway =p. Or are we working in PST? =/

Ghaleon · « **Reply #88 on:** January 31, 2011, 04:27:33 AM »

Well Mats started the first STG tournament thing, and IIRC he lives in India, and since we plan on coordinating the two, I say we go by India time. *hits desk* hurry up already! >=P

If you want to fullscreen/un-fullscreen from Next, you need to press F12 then F10.
