Touhou 20 WRs listed on my website have been converted to the original, unpatched scores. They can be watched in-game without any external tools. The entire WR history of the game is also there! I built it from scratch, once again using @hoangcaominh.bsky.social's awesome replay reader script!
I've launched a Touhou PC-98 leaderboard! Much like Nyanko's Extra scoring website, it uses a system with 3 scoring thresholds that must be met to attain a certain "status". Each category's "Big" threshold is the minimum score required to be listed in that category. Artwork is by YorktownCV-5!
Scores have been added to the LNN page. You can now sort categories as well, so you can easily tell which is the highest-scoring LNN. And what's more, thanks to Cao Minh's replay parsing tool, we now automatically add the score from replays! 🎉 Thank you @hoangcaominh.bsky.social!! 👌
New feature for the WR and LNN pages: When you click a game, the game will be added to your current URL. Each game name is also a link to the game. This means that you can now link someone to a specific game! No more telling everyone to click a certain game :)
KirbyComment recently worked on an insane Google sheet containing hundreds of missing former WRs. We have now inserted 406 replays into my database, some of which are as old as 2004 or even 2003! The Touhou WR history is now considerably more accurate as a result :) Massive props to KC!
For clarity's sake, I added more clear information to the LNN page. This should help prevent any confusion in the community as to how my site operates, how to get accepted, etc. You can find this information popup by clicking on the link at the top of the page. JP translation available so far.
The high score storage page now generates a score heatmap! Currently it's coloured by WR percentage, but this may be improved in the future, because it is not an ideal indicator of skill for steep scaling categories. Your highest scoring shottype (in terms of WR%) is picked for each cell.
I've redesigned the Scoring page on my website! In this design there is much less scrolling for the user. Instead you can just expand/collapse every game individually, so you can focus on the ones that you have actually scored. The page follows the Survival page's system :) More updates to come!
The Touhou World Cup website now has a page where you can view last year's clips! You can either choose a match to view its clips, or click the button to view a random clip. Have fun!
I added a history section to the Touhou Popularity Poll English translation page, currently featuring old polls from 2017 to 2024. The older ones may be added later. You can navigate the old poll results using the arrow keys too!
My site was shown on Beatmario's stream where he announced the upcoming Touhou gameplay event. Honestly this is kind of crazy. I just left a comment on the YouTube video in question. I wonder how he explained the concept of LNN to the audience or what these numbers mean.
The screenshot feature in the Touhou Tier List Creator has been fixed for real now! No more excess height at the bottom of your tier list, even if it's large. Width adjusts automatically, unlike for example what tiermaker does. This is nice for smaller lists! maribelhearn.com/tiers
I added a checkbox that lets you include the two VS games in the LNN page stats (that is, Touhou 3 PoDD and Touhou 19 UDoALG), since it was kind of unclear that these aren't being counted by default. The reason for this is to maintain the "traditional" LNN count; VS games play very differently.
Not sure if anyone missed them, but I brought back the tooltips on the homepage that explain what each page is about!
Cleaned up the spritesheet as well so the image artifacting should be pretty much gone. Especially the older characters look a lot cleaner now :)
The Touhou Tier List Creator now supports the full Touhou 20 cast! Thank you Dairi for drawing them as always.
The Touhou Community Jargon help page has been translated into Japanese, so that Japanese readers will be able to tell what the English terminology refers to. ありがとうございます @wefma.bsky.social!
In case anyone got this error recently: "failed to move uploaded file" when trying to import a tier list into the Touhou Tier List Creator: This has now been fixed! :)
Following the PND website, Touhou WRs set in Touhou 17 to 20 are now shown uncapped! That is, with the counterstop removed, revealing the "true" score value. This used to be shown only on mouse hover, but it will now be shown by default. For Touhou 20, the PIV bug is assumed to be fixed (thprac).
My website now supports Touhou 20! It's featured on the WR/LNN pages, the survival table and the scoring page. And of course, the Tier List Creator! Speaking of which, the Tier List Creator now has tabs, to make it much more obvious that you can also sort the works, shottypes and cards! (1/2)
Did some small but important updates improving the accuracy of the guide. Neko Project 21 and DOSBox-X are the recommended emulators for playing Touhou. They are also regularly updated and improved, so I stopped providing the (outdated) pre-configured zip archives for them. See the setup steps!
I added the characters from the Touhou 20 demo to the Tier List Creator and the Slot Machine. Also, I realised that it has been impossible to roll Mizuchi on the slot machine this entire time lmao. Now you can! As well as the FW characters.
The LNN page search bar is now functional again. It had been broken for a while. My bad!
On the Gensokyo Replay Archive, I've now added the comment field to the results table. Don't worry, it's stripped off HTML. No shenanigans like the old site. I did this mostly because gensokyo did not support scenes, so people usually wrote in the comment field which StB or DS scene they played.
I took notice of the fact that some people were interpreting the "Player Ranking" sections on my site as a competition. This has never been the intent. Therefore, I've decided to rename these sections to "Player Statistics", which clearly communicates the intent. It's just for some cool numbers :)
For a considerable while, my website's tables with dates in them would mistakenly attempt to convert these dates to your timezone. This happened for both WRs and LNNs. This meant that for everyone in the Western Hemisphere, every run's date was 1 day off. This has now been fixed!
In Touhou 14 and 15, if you are using vpatch, having your input latency set to anything but "Fast" will make the game unable to save your options. For example, changing the volume is not remembered after closing the game. To fix this, use "Fast", or redownload vpatch off maribelhearn.com/tools.
We reached a grand total of 2000 recorded Touhou LNNs today. That is, traditional ones, i.e. not including Versus games. A truly crazy number.
