HRtP no bombs 1cc done on camera. I perfected Kikuri during the process and ended with three lives.

* Donut goes to watch the video

Excuse me a moment.

try encoding it first, maybe it's just WMP being shit

MeGUI spits it out without even trying to compress it. :\

[Guest]

try fixing it in virtualdub

[nintendonut888]

Huh. It turns out VirtualDub can play it, but only time will tell if the video can still be properly chopped up, compressed, and uploaded.

EDIT: It can. I suppose I owe you one.

[GenericTouhouFailure]

So I heard the lazers are never a threat in Resurrection Butterfly / SFN
WELL NO
Edit: Realised this should go into the :Derp: Thread insted oops

[MysTeariousYukari]

2cc PCB Normal with ReimuB. I post this here because it was a 2cc... when I could have 1cc'ed. The issue? F***ing FLEAS! Being bitten and sucked dry by small insects while trying to not die for the 3rd time on Boss Youmu's Final Card, is harder then you think. Soon as I kill the little buggers and continue playing after pausing, more start bitting AND I die. Overall, if I died only once on that, I could have very well 1cc'ed Normal ReimuB, I died twice throughout Stage 6, and I had gotten an extend during Stage 6 as well, which, assuming I'm not failing at math, would have left me with 0 lives in the end, should I had not died like an idiot twice on Youmu's Final.

I cried so much... I failed a 1cc cause of some F***ing bugs... Woulda been my first real 1cc as well... *cries even more*

I thought I had captured Grudge Bow for the first time....

and then I remembered I died about 2 seconds after it started. :C

and Koishi can suck a dick

[Fast Fanatic]

My only Grudge Bow capture is on a replay with 4.6% slowdown rate.

BAAAAW.

Seriously, that's only slightly pushing it. What's 3 more seconds to a 55 second card gonna do?

[MysTeariousYukari]

Seriously, that's only slightly pushing it. What's 3 more seconds to a 55 second card gonna do?

I'd say plenty. I've bombed AND died within 3 seconds or so of the other in SA. Even if you don't get killed directly, the stress it adds in could get to killed Panic Deaths are my most common whenever I play.

[Fast Fanatic]

I mean, a 4.5% slowdown rate in that scenario would make things harder, since the speed difference is hardly noticeable (unless it jumps around).

Hmm.

[Kanon]

UFO Extra again. couldn't get anywhere at all. Keep dying randomly in the stage and Kogasa is a bitch.

[GenericTouhouFailure]

Super Ego Sucks really really really bad
here's proof
Pudding *shot for joke*
This replay was the first time (15 attemps) that I passed super ego.
Went all the way to Philosophy of a hated pe*rams and clips*
Oh, uber slowdown due to computer sucking
(I just turned up frameskip as of this post)

[8lue Wizard]

*facepalm* This makes 3 times this week, in 3 different games, I've narrowly beaten stage 4 and then gone on to Game Over to the FIRST WAVE of fairies on stage 5. Gah. Hard mode hates me.

[ふねん1]

Danmaku Bounded Field. I forget when to move out of the center during the first wave and end up bombing. I then proceed to capture the rest of the attack, including doing the fourth wave without the safespot.

I hate forgetting things.

[GET SMART]

Aside from one stupid death on Parsee's last card, this run was going great...right up to the point where I died to the orbs right before S4 Midboss Rin.  You know, the streaming ones.

Death on Rin.
Two deaths before the end of the stage.
Death on Terrifying Hypnotism.
Death on DBDB.
Game over on BoWaP.

Every ounce of skill I possessed mysteriously evaporated when I hit midboss Rin.  What the hell.  What the hell.  WHAT THE HELL.

[nintendonut888]

I beat Phantasm Romance up until stage 4 no deaths, and it STILL didn't give me the option to fight Yukari. I mean what, is this score-based now? That makes things so much worse.

I wish I knew Danmakufu so I could take these stupid limiters off. 1ccing Another Mode with 2 lives left should be good enough to at least try extra.

[Naut]

I wish I knew Danmakufu so I could take these stupid limiters off. 1ccing Another Mode with 2 lives left should be good enough to at least try extra.

You need at least three. No joke.

Code: [Select]

if(Continued==false&&extra3_flg&&GetPlayerLife>=3)
{
if(Extra34Select)
{
StageEx3;
}
else
{
StageEx4;
}
}
PhantasmRomance.txt, search for this code block (it's at line 73), and just go ahead and delete the &&GetPlayerLife>=3 portion (or even the Continued==false&& portion, if you're feeling particularly lame) and you'll automatically be given the option to fight one of the remaining two ex stages after successfully beating the game.

Have fun.

[nintendonut888]

Oh? So I just delete that entire line that says if(Continued==false&&extra3_flg&&GetPlayerLife>=3) and free extra and no lousy continue limit? Eeeexcellent. =D While we're at it, do you know the line that prevents me from reaching Yukari? I hate limiters that go beyond 1ccing. :[

EDIT: Oh...guess not. Deleting that line now makes the game not start. Good thing I backed up the script.

[Naut]

Well, you can't just delete the whole line. That'll error. You can change it to

if(true)

if you want, which will allow you to always try the extra. And uh, Yukari... I assume you mean one the first two extra stages (s'been a while since I've played it). Welp, here are both:

Code: [Select]

if(Continued==false&&
((GetCommonData("LunaticMode")&&GetMissCount+GetBombCount<=5)||
(!GetCommonData("LunaticMode")&&GetMissCount+GetBombCount<=6)))
{
if(Extra1Select)
{
if(GetCommonData("LunaticMode")){extra2_flg=1;}
StageEx1;
}
}

Starting at line 59, those first three lines will also just change to if(true), giving you this:

Code: [Select]

if(true)
{
if(Extra1Select)
{
if(GetCommonData("LunaticMode")){extra2_flg=1;}
StageEx1;
}
}
By playing the first extra stage, you automatically play the second in place of stage 5. Of course, you must be playing Another Mode.

Provided you did all those things, your game should progress as follows:

[select another mode]
Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 3
Stage Ex 1
Stage 4
Stage Ex 2
Stage 6 (if you haven't continued)
Choice between Stage Ex 3 or 4
End

[nintendonut888]

After trying and failing to do the first line that unlocks extra (no matter what I tried, the game would crash), I put in the line that unlocks Yukari and it worked. What's odd though is that I continued on the fight and it let me, but it ONLY let me continue once, as the next time it happened I got kicked out.

[Naut]

Yeah, the game has it set to only let you continue once no matter what.

[Demonbman]

Colourful Wind Chime hurts my eyes and I keep dying on it T_T

[nintendonut888]

Ooookay...Phantasm Romance. 1cc'd with FIVE lives remaining, extra still wouldn't rear its head. I suppose this means I have to fight Yukari, AND 1cc, AND have three lives remaining.

Peh. All I want is to play extra 4!

[GET SMART]

Game over on Ghost Wheels with [] that much health left.

One death with one power.

All other deaths were two or more.

[nintendonut888]

One day I will figure out Murasa's third non-spell. It will be the most beautiful clarity where I will know how to dodge the second wave consistently, and then I will perfect her and laugh because I finally did something that I put a lot of effort into once again.

Someday.

Was very serious when I said that you dodge the second wave the same way as the first. It's completely static.

Here's a replay showing a really easy method to dodging it. Just tap left a bunch of times. Not my replay.

[GET SMART]

On the plus side, game over on Utsuho.

On the minus, four of the last six deaths were with three or four power.  One with two.  One with 0.

It's not completely static, as Murasa moves. Sure the attack itself is the same, but if she moves down, the way I dodge the first wave no longer works because I don't have enough room.

[ふねん1]

Metal-fatigue bullets. Two deaths in two seconds on Young Demon Lord.

And to think I actually had a chance at the 1cc before this.
