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!

We have a chance of removing the Online Safety Act! Any UK residents, PLEASE take the time to fill out the whole form. If we want to remove ID verification on websites that actually don't need it, we need to take action NOW!

Come watch BeatMARIO's offline Touhou shmup event, where committee member SOC will be playing Touhou 20, Fossilized Wonders live later! Several previous TWC players will also be playing on stream live! Of course, ZUN is there as well! www.youtube.com/live/JL0588N... #touhou

My website, as well as the TWC site, will be down for an hour or two.

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

The Touhou Tier List Creator will now autosave your tier lists! Save button has been removed; every action will automatically save your progress :) 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!

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！

maribelhearn.com/thvote ENGLISH RESULTS for the Touhou popularity poll 2025!

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)

It is my birthday today! :)

I did a (segmented) TD Lunatic No Miss clear with Marisa.. that trances every single lifepiece in the game! This run is a proof of concept to show that this is possible. A legitimate full game run of this would be insane. See my video for how it would be done! www.youtube.com/watch?v=53Cb...

I made a massive performance improvement to my website! The WR and LNN pages open considerably faster. 🎉 You can also actually see them loading, so that you know that they will load eventually, instead of seeing absolutely nothing until it's fully done. Much better!

Sorry if my site has been a bit less stable recently. I'm trying to solve a memory leak that I recently discovered. This has existed for a long time, but I recently isolated the problem to my site, meaning that it can't be anything else. It should be over soon!

Yesterday I also fixed two bugs on the Survival table page. maribelhearn.com/survival A fairly obscure one that would lead to duplicate data in your export, as well as one that that made it impossible to import a text file with "Not cleared" categories in it. Page should operate smoothly now.

I wrote a complete Touhou PC-98 guide! maribelhearn.com/faq/pc98 This will help people get into these older Touhou games :) It has downloads to all four emulators, pre-configured for Touhou, as well as explanations on how to use them, setup guides, autofire, and font files. Have fun retro gaming!

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.

Touhou World Cup 2025 Has Begun!📸🍁🏆 #TWC2025 #東方Project

We kick off Touhou World Cup 2025 with a bang - LoLK Lunatic Survival! Last year, GB performed an unimaginable feat and claimed the first LNN of this category with the worst shottype, Marisa! Will our players this year rise to the challenge? #touhou #TWC2025 #TouhouWorldCup

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!

wow twitch just made their worst decision in literal years Hi! Highlights are how a lot of World Records are stored! Unless you plan on reaching out to EVERY SINGLE WR HOLDER OF EVERY VIDEOGAME firmly cut this shit out. also hey! Some streamers have died! You're deleting their public grave!

PSA to all speedrunners - PLEASE download and upload all highlights to YouTube. Huge amounts of speedrunning history will be lost if we don't take action. Even if you're under 100 hours, play it safe and download. It's 100 hours for now, but who knows in the future.

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.

I just became the first person ever to beat Mike Tyson in under 2 minutes.

Saturday/Sunday Touhou Replay Showcase🦇🌙 #東方Project

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.

Picked up Pokemon FireRed speedruns again. I'm confident I can get a big pb if I grind for a while!

I merged the Touhou Community Jargon page into the FAQ. The link maribelhearn.com/jargon still takes you to this page, so all of your links will still work.

5/5. GG

I recently added a Touhoumon portal page to my site as well. This page serves as a community gateway, offering links to relevant resources and Discord servers to help people get into the games and their fanbase.

Made some adjustments to the Survival table page. If you leave a game empty, it will not be shown in your table. Also moved the "Fill All" options to the top of each table, to improve their visibility. And finally, if you leave Pointdevice empty, that too will be hidden in your table.
