WTF SUNNY MILK STOP KILLING ME

[Reddyne]

Obligatory rage post at how bad I am at 12.8.

Also, the new Super Marisa Land is a big improvement on the old one but I still hatehateHATE how most doujin games handle.

[Arcengal]

*cries at 3 fairy fight in 12.8*

ZUN, putting QED in a game's normal difficulty ISN'T FUNNY.

[チソウ タイゼン]

Imperishable Night is the easiest Touhou MY ASS.

Hard Mode to Stage Five on Player Lives Eight.
Angry face /:(

[EX-beckett]

Imperishable Night is the easiest Touhou MY ASS.

Imperishable Night is the easiest easy mode.

[チソウ タイゼン]

Imperishable Night is the easiest easy mode.

I was told it was the easiest, period.
And it's not.
Out of what I've seen, it has some of the simpler bullet patterns, but it makes up for it in a lot of bullets.

And to me the easiest easy mode was for 10...

[Critz]

I thought I captured Boundary of Life and Death for the first time in my life...until I remembered that I broke an ending Supernatural Border on the FIRST wave because I wanted another one to appear quicker and I absolutely wasn`t expecting a capture *facepalm* .

At this moment I keep on failing Remilia`s opener on Hard, something I usually do successfully. Either I need to sleep for a bit or switch back to Reimu. And not to mention my failtastic 12.8 attempts I can`t even remember - I need to get used to bullet freeze system yet.

[Fast Fanatic]

Either I need to sleep for a bit or switch back to Reimu.

Why switch back to Reimu if you're getting that far with Marisa? They have the same hitbox, so if you're running into bullets with Marisa speed, down down the button less.

If you're dodging any significant part of that you're doing it wrong.

[Garlyle]

If you're dodging any significant part of that you're doing it wrong.

This.  Every QED-esque pattern that Star Sapphire uses can have the shit frozen out of it.

[Fast Fanatic]

Although that also means knowing which part of the ring you freeze for the greatest effect.

[Inactive person]

Every single one of my GFW Extra run ends at the boss's 3rd spell card

[Nereid]

When the ball comes down, misdirect it to one side of the screen. then go to the other side, dodge some red, and freeze when the blue waves come at you. When the ball goes back, shoot it like mad to charge up, and then freeze as soon as the blue bullets come out.

In theory this works. One mistake and you're dead though. :/

Actually there's probably a better way.


Also: I captured Open Universe the first try. And I've never been able to capture it since. :/

[GenericTouhouFailure]

FUCK
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS
I DEMAND A MOTHERFUCKING EXPLANATION FROM THE GAME

Geez, died like 500 times on the stage

[LHCling]

What. The. FUCK.

EDIT:

This is a lovely day.

[チソウ タイゼン]

Imperishable Night: My Best Run Ever

Stage 1: In 5/3, Out 5/3
Stage 2: Out 6/3
Stage 3: to Boss w/ 7/4, out 5/0 (Damn it Keine)
Stage 4: to Boss w/ 4/5, out 2/0 (Damn it, Marisa)
Stage 5: to Boss w/ 3/4, game over.

In short, Marisa and Reisen are two of the most infuriating people ever.

[Arcengal]

I just had to check what difficulty I was playing in GFW because B1 is so much harder than A2 or B2.

[Nereid]

I got screwed over on B1 lots on my first few attempts, and couldn't do better than a 4cc. I decided to do all the other routes first; when I came back to B1 I got a 1cc first try.

[Arcengal]

Fiiiiiiivveee CC clear of B1.

Atrociously bad at stage 2 Star Sapphire, plus the homing nonsense that Sunny throws out.

[Savory]

Is it bad that the only games I have been able to beat are IN and PoFV? The later ones are too difficult for me. For some reason, ZUN decided to remove the option to increase your total health. Though I do enjoy the fighting games.

[I do want to know, however, which UFOs in UFO give you 1Ups. I got one by luck, it seems, and I haven't a clue how I pulled it off.]

[Jaimers]

Argh man.

Replay for whoever wants to pick my attempt at scoring apart. 

First time playing Touhou in TATE. Was pretty rad.

[Arcengal]

NEW PERSONAL BEST AT B1

ONLY THREE CONTINUES THIS TIME

WINNAR

(p.s. where do you put GFW replays to watch them?)

[nintendonut888]

It's in the same obscure folder the DS score.dat and replays are. It's in a hidden folder called "appdata," in roaming, then Shanghai Alice.

Made it to Blazing Star in extra this time. I didn't know because of how quickly I died the first time I reached it, but Super Perseid looks like it'll be a real pain. I have some comfort in that even with all the stupid deaths I suffered to that point, I still reached Super Perseid with over 200% health. It's good that this stage has a margin of error.

[Topos]

GFW route B1, I'm entering the last spellcard at 200% motivation/ no bombs. I charge up my freeze, and then, my key remapper crashes.

wtf

(I still 1cc'd the game though)

[Nereid]

[I do want to know, however, which UFOs in UFO give you 1Ups. I got one by luck, it seems, and I haven't a clue how I pulled it off.]

Red ones. They give 1/5 life when they are shot down, and another 1/5 when they fill up with items.

[Guest]

Late to the UFO scene. So far I have no real problems other than MarisaA moving like a sloth and MarisaB just sucking in general.

[Arcengal]

B1 1cc.

Watching replays does wonders, it seems.

[Naut]

Replay for whoever wants to pick my attempt at scoring apart. 

If you stop letting UFOs fly off the screen and if you manage to get into stage 6 with two bombs (plus the one from the early green at the start of the stage), you should be able to break one billion. General advice is to just stop letting UFOs fly away.


And for my rage of the day:



Died on LFO twice. Yeah.

Twice.

[ふねん1]

Holy crap so many deaths because I'm apparently not releasing the freeze button in time. It honestly feels like almost all of my deaths in GFW are occurring this way now.

[Arcengal]

I promise this will be my last post regarding GFW on this thread until I go for Lunatic runs.

DEAR GOD EXTRA IS HARD. I managed to sightread to the boss but ran out of lives at the start of her second card (that looked like a remake of Earth Light Ray/Shoot the Moon, but I died too soon to tell).
