I don't give a poo poo whether or not it's an anime game but why is it this and not one of the actual bullet hell games? Watching someone really good at bullet hell games is exciting. This is super dull.

Aren't bullet hells all auto scrolling? Can you even speed run those really?

BBT wasn't bad and can actually be considered a well put together game, whether you like the content or not. This I can't defend at all.

Well they went offline right before so there's going to be a massive drop that's not the fault of the current run.

That said they're down 30-40k from BBT

This run and the commentary isn't bad, actually. I mean, the game's quality is...arguable, and it's Touhou, but it's not a terrible run.

it's more that the game is just boring to watch

What was that about not sexualizing...

The creator of the actual series doesn't. The fans are terrible and totally do, because they are anime fans. (This is a fan game and not an actual touhou as has been said a million times before)

This game is pretty bad.

The only speed you can get out of Touhou games is to kill the bosses fast, otherwise they're 100% on rails as far as I know.

Besides them being an auto-scroller aside from fighting bosses? It's hard to show 'gotta go fast' when you're enforced to a 2 and half min long level before getting into something you can influence the time it takes to complete.

If you speedrun a shmup you'd just be bombing all the boss patterns, it'd be boring as hell to watch. Shoot the Bullet/Double Spoiler are actually super legit speedgames though, and I think Ihavenoname was going to run it at SGDQ, but he couldn't make it.

Two of the official games are entirely boss fights and make for okay speedrun games, one of them was on the schedule of some GDQ a year or two ago but then the runner ended up not coming or something

I'm surprised none of the announces have accidentally said Something Autistic instead of Something Artistic yet. Doubly surprised since we got a Something Awful earlier.

Yeah, this seems like a poor choice of game, and the guy trying to explain all things Touhou is just painful to watch.

There's plenty of far more speedrunnable Touhou fangames that don't have Giant Titty Borders. Like Touhouvania 2, which they did for SGDQ and kinda owned.
