Touhou Puppet Dance Performance / Re: Good strategy for *spoiler*

I found a reliable method to quickly own the first round battle, so as it turns out, repeatedly attempting and failing to beat all four was an incredibly reliable grinding method. Just the first fight hands out about 10x a strong wild, and you don't lose money from defeat here.

Anyways, I just won. Yay. Play time: 28:10.

With regards to movesets - I have 999 PP, so I can swap moves out pretty much endlessly, and at this point it's 'what Spell Cards am I missing'. I picked up literally everything - that included the candies. Chances are, if it was lying around somewhere, it's in my inventory. I also didn't actually realize that I was that severely underlevelled - with pokemon, I have a habit of scooching by the elite four sans any grinding and like ten levels lower. ;P

Anyways, movesets at the moment.
Eirin - Mysterious Liquid, Local Downpour, First aid treatment, Miasma.
Keine - I've been swapping stuff out. Can't figure out what to use, but the one useful (if not low SP) is Chrysanthemum water. Also gets STAB.
Suika - Exploding Blaze, Sorrowful Tune, Grand Liberate, Aura Drain. Mostly good. Move #2 keeps getting swapped out.
Kagerou - Macroburst (Power but not enough SP to be useful), Godspeed Air Raid, Lightning Speed, Dark Performance
Flandre - Flashover, Arclight, 12th sign(warrior), Darkness sweets
Youmu - Sword of reversal, Soul Hound, Cruciform, Concentrate stance.

My inventory is so full I'm not even going to list it. It would take too long to type.

I'm really regretting the lack of power puppets at the moment. I know the IVs are terrible, but catching the same thing N times when there's a reliable fix postgame is kinda a waste of threads...and despite Eirin's abysmal IVs, she still does better than the rest of them. I'd be very scared against a S-rank Assist Eirin.

Anyways, off to snag a Chen and Murasa to test them out. I guess I'll report back. :S

Touhou Puppet Dance Performance / Good strategy for *spoiler*

I keep getting my ass handed to me by the Makai Four-in-a-row. Anyone have any good strategies - Which can include going and catching something or grinding, but I'm not gaining much XP anymore. I've only gotten to Shinki once, and it took twenty revives and twenty full potions - after which I ran out of cash.

The revives would be infinitely more useful if they healed me fully - I can only take two and a half hits on average and then die. And they seem to be cheating, because I get crit'd pretty much every attack and my type matchups are crap...

My party is this
 * Speed Kagerou, Level 76
      Speed+64, Fo.Atk+33, Sp.Atk+33
      A+, C+, A-, D+, S, B+
 * Defense Keine, Level 81
      HP+64, Fo.Def+1 Sp.Def+1, Speed+64
      C+, S, A, B-, D+, A+
 * Defense Suika, Level 74
      HP+64, Fo.Def+32, Sp.Def+32
      Starter: A+
 * Assist Eirin, Level 69
      HP+64, Fo.Def+32, Sp.Def+32
      C+, A+, D, D, D, D
 * Speed Flandre, Level 64
      Fo.Def+2, Sp.Atk+64, Speed+64
      E-, S, E, E, A-, A
 * Speed Youmu, Level 69
      HP+23, Fo.Atk+64, Sp.Def+43
      E-, E-, B-,  D, S, D+

Generally speaking, Kagerou serves well only as a sweeper. INCREDIBLY FRAGILE. Suika and Keine have served generally well through the game. Eirin is my new favorite - she's a poison inducing survivalist (If not for her crappy defense - she still can take hits and minimal damage at 15lvs lower, though!) Youmu and Flandre are generally filler - they've proven useless so far.

Halp? 

(Also this game was the best 26 dollars I ever spent. 27hrs logged in this playthrough and 24 in my incomplete run in japanese.)

EDIT: Also, I've gathered pretty much every spell card - there's only a few missing.

Translation project / Re: REPORT TRANSLATION ERRORS HERE

« on: June 27, 2015, 12:04:16 PM »

I'm new here. Really enjoying the translation so far. Found a few typos - but my real issue was the line wrapping. Rather than take a screenshot of every instance, I just unpacked my copy of the game and made this: https://gist.github.com/chaoskagami/390c73ce131dca2ffe8f

That will hopefully make explaining a bit faster, since I'm not even sure how many screenies I'd have to take for this. Far too many, probably. I basically just generated a list using a maximum line length of 44 and dumped it in a gist along with the script used to do so in bash.

Anyways, hi and all that. I'm a programmer, and I've done a bit of this kind of stuff myself so just helping out with what I can.

EDIT: Also, I'm pretty sure my crappy skills with sed picked up some false positives there...but everything that's really too long should be there.
