Topic: [challenge] Kaguya's next Impossible Request (ended) (Read 1428 times)

Helepolis · « **on:** February 02, 2012, 12:41:31 pm »

Since this isn't exactly a forum wide challenge, I was heavily doubting whether to post in Moronic Colloseum or not. For now it is here until I get angry mob on my ass with pitchforks and danmaku. So yes, greetings people of lunatics, perfections and scoreruns. While I am not from Eientei (hail SDM), the princess has a new impossible request for you with a reward (No she won't marry you). The challenge is very simple:

Time out Tewi's last word 「Ancient Duper」 in Imperishable Night.

At the bottom the screen.

Rules
- No TAS, no forced slowdowns.
- You are allowed to make vertical movements if required for dodging, but you will stay as much as possible bottom (no need to hug perma)
- I don't care which girl you use.
- I don't care if you make it more crazy with no vertical or w/e as long as it is fair.

Reward
* Rewards will be something special and/or IPs depending on people their effort.

The judgement

Two people will be granted with a prize:
- Ran Yakumo, who efforted for 40min without complaining. (precious RL gift + IP)
- 'I have no name' for conducting "scientific" research. (IP)

oh god no

No.

I don't think you understood what I meant by TAS tier.

No.

// Jokes aside, I can give it around a hundred of more shots. But timing it out from the bottom is... impossible, at least with my skill level. And I believe one cannot read the waves fast enough to precisely dodge them. And safespotting stuff won't work, since Tewi moves and therefore randomizes the waves. '

So, I'd say that it won't be humanly possible.

OH EHM GEEEE
IMPOSSIBLE REQUEST!

Nereid · « **Reply #5 on:** February 02, 2012, 01:26:33 pm »

Here's an ordinary timeout. The blue waves speed up to ridiculous levels so that even just dodging them alone from the bottom would be pretty hard.

Also survived 1 wave at the bottom. Pure luck.

Better organize new danmakufu contest. It will be much more appreciated

Maybe you could micro-memorize it?

Tengukami · « **Reply #9 on:** February 02, 2012, 06:58:19 pm »

I dunno, I clicked around YouTube and it honestly doesn't look that terrible. It looks hard, yeah, but far from impossible. What are you guys moaning about? Surely the crowd on HME can rise to this challenge!

kyuu · « **Reply #10 on:** February 02, 2012, 07:41:17 pm »

Crap, I just dodged like almost one wave and a blue bullet hit me. :<

...I kept dying within a few seconds into the card

Why did I waste 40 minutes on this?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlbBknGvFdo Well, here's the first 10 minutes of my failure. The next 30 minutes are pretty much the same thing so I'm not really going to bother uploading it.

Those rice bullets look very BS to me... With a bit of effort I prob can time out normally. At the bottom, though, lolwut.

RegalStar · « **Reply #14 on:** February 03, 2012, 01:20:43 am »

I don't even remember what this card looks like any more (or anything other than I need to go left/right/left/right/whatever).

EDIT: no.

Tengukami · « **Reply #15 on:** February 03, 2012, 01:50:09 am »

Oh, at the bottom of the screen? AHAhahahaha right.

Sorry, totally missed that bit. For a while there I was like "what? this is a snap, left, right, left, right"

I have no name · « **Reply #16 on:** February 03, 2012, 02:17:42 am »

No.
Just no.

Although my first time seeing the card I dodged a wave at the bottom, but a timeout?

No way.

Shadow · « **Reply #17 on:** February 03, 2012, 03:01:18 am »

THIS is the farthest I have gotten.

. . .

Of course, it isn't exactly legit. I used the pause-unpause method, which got me as far as to survive five waves before slamming into a laser as it was powering down. The criss-crossing bullet speeds are ridiculous, and I definitely would not be capable of reaching this far by, well, normal means. Still, it is quite fun to watch, in my humble opinion.

This seems about as easy as timing out galaxy in a pot... While outside the "pot".

Earth is pretty straightforward since it's very patterned, but each pot is centered on you and it's impossible to re-exit the pot once it starts, so you really have to move if you want to actually get each wave in. Takes a long time to finish though.

Really though people come on, you can do better than that.

I got through one wave, you can too! It only took 80 tries! Aren't hearty attempts things that make good things happen, even if they are short attempts?

So I decided to see what this entailed by TASing it.
33 in-game seconds later (165 realtime), I got hit.
At 1/5 speed.
This is impossible, as in completely impossible, not even funny to try barely possible by the skin of your teeth, completely and totally impossible for any human to do this without any slowdown.

Do we win if we last longer than anyone else? I can see maybe some form of competition happening in that case. A "who can survive the longest?" sort of thing.

EDIT: Two waves - http://replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=18535
I did all of the "dodging" at the bottom.

not slow enough, not used to tas enough, etc

Everything mentioned about 'impossible' was towards doing it without slowdown.
Also I only tried once because I was curious to see what it would entail, if I seriously wanted to time it out at the bottom (with TAS) then I'd have slowed it down further after the failed attempt.

Glimmer · « **Reply #26 on:** February 04, 2012, 03:36:42 am »

I guess it's called an impossible request for a reason...

Aw God, no. I hate Tewi's patterns >

~~Quick, ask DOLCE and sangkm to do it! owait wrong game(s)~~

inb4 someone takes the effort to do this at 1fps.

Helepolis · « **Reply #29 on:** February 04, 2012, 12:16:33 pm »

The impossible request has ended. I'll quote a line from BAiJR

"It's not a scam! Aren't donations things that make good things happen, even if they are little offerings? Then, I can promise that at the moments they see me~"

Code: [Select]

Tewi: You seem unlikely to donate to me.
Aya: I won't be fooled so easily, you know.
Tewi: Ah, that's too bad. Even if you donate a little, a small happiness would be waiting for you.

I like how many people in this thread and on IRC were so protesting or responsive. It amused me in an ironic way.
"Helepolis, this is dumb."
"Omg lol."
"lolno."
"Dumb challenge."
(ry

Even dropping a subtle hint (in the OP), people still didn't seem to get it. And even if those people did, they obviously showed no effort. Which proves my personal opinion on the average type of people roaming the world of Touhou.

"But Helepolis, nobody cares!"
The point wasn't caring. Neither to see if someone was god-like to beat this card. The point was more like tossing in an impossible request and seeing what "fun" it would generate. There was none generated, because majority of the people are egoistic braggers who only know how to stroke their ego and not obviously care about community fun. But hey, that doesn't matter. There are people who know how to generate fun and they will be respected and rewarded proper.

I have nothing to complain. I knew majority would whine, QQ, complain (TEI-KAKU DOORI). My caring % is 0. I do what I do and this is what I do.
