Previous thread. (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,11309.0.html)
Let's see how well you've been doing in the lovely world of Touhou lately.
-
I wasn't playing :p
-
This post is fucking amazing.
--- Or rather, I wanna be able to track what's going on in this thread and I don't have any notable accomplishments.
Or well, I've gotten more consistent with King Kraken Strike. However, I am not satisfied before having 95% consistency. And the latest runs have had me capture KKS more than the third one which is nice.
-
Hell yeah. First SA normal 1CC (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18564) It took me about 37 tries from the first time i've touched the game yesterday. This run is pretty horrible, go laugh at me :]
And now i might do the same thing i did when i first played MoF - practice the stuff (mostly Orin and Okuu) and do a better run. And clear TD lunatic wich i was so close to >_<
-
Hmm... you got close to clearing TD lunatic and got your first SA Normal clear just now? :wat:
Was that TD run credit feeding or something. Or is the game really just that easy? :V Congrats on it either way. SA is probably the hardest Normal mode. At least it is according to my memory.

Thanks.
Well, it's only a day since i've tried SA first time. Yeah, it may sound ridiculous but since i've started playing touhou i'm on my shedule for the games. So SA time has come. And i'm playing TD for several months, and yeah i find it easier than any other touhou before. It's the only game i could play on lunatic and be able to clear it :V
SA is the hardest normal? Not UFO?
-
While the run itself wasn't worth saving...
I timed out Fantasy Seal -Blink- with the Scarlet Team.
Considering between Reimu's movement and Sakuya's damage it's literally impossible to cap it with them... yeah :V
-
Oh, I didn't know the previous thread got locked until now, so,
Founded a way to beat Oni God," Blue Oni, Red Oni" with Sakuya\ReimuA. Just stream left and right instead of top and bottom. Saves you the effort of losing lives.
-
SA is the hardest normal? Not UFO?
Well, its obviously a subjective thing but I remember SA being pretty damn intimidating back in the day because of its more dense bullet patterns. There is also the thing about UFO allowing you to hoard resources like no other game in the series. Still though, they are pretty even and I remember Flying Fantastica to be quite a thing even on Normal mode. That's at least what I can read by going through my old posts.
Really though, I remember SA to be really cliphappy to that kind of inexperienced player i were back then.
-
SA Normal is definitely harder. I remember beating UFO in three or four days, since, like Zengeku mentioned, you farm plenty of resources on Normal, and you can pretty much bomb through stages 5 and 6. SA Normal took me at least a month and a half to clear. ::)
-
In other news... Wild Deserted Island timeout. In 4 attempts.
Uh, 'kay...
-

I usually do it that way, though I start at the top and stream the first wave down, then left/right for the other waves. Only way I can do it consistently.
-
For the UFO versus SA discussion; I personally felt that UFO normal is, well, normal-y, while SA's normal is pretty scary for a Normal.
Of course, then you go to Hard mode on UFO and it's like you're playing lunatic on any other game, except with a crapload of resources. The difficulty jump between UFO normal and hard is huge.

UFO normal is harder than SA normal.
I beat Utsuho my first time getting to her, Byakuren took a half dozen or more fights with her to clear.
-
I only really found SA hard because of the resource system. Not only are you punished for losing lives when you die, but you're punished further by not getting any extends either. As far as the actual patterns go, I don't find them much worse than any other normal mode. UFO on the other hand throws resources everywhere whether you're awesome or terrible and manages to be quite tough even with a bajillion lives. For difficulty to clear I'd still put UFO higher, but SA was quite troublesome too until I got the first chunk of the game down and could no miss or 1 miss up to Orin.
-

I never really quite understood the logic behind that argument. You get a life piece if you beat an attack without dying and at a few other areas. If you fail to no-miss that attack then you'll lose out on 1/5th of a life. That means that you'll need to die once at 10 different attacks in order to miss out on two lives. You still get a boat load of them.
-
You also get 2.25 power back each time you die and .5 power with each spell kill. The game essentially rewards you for bombing your way through bosses.
It only took me a few hours to 1cc SA normal, whereas it took multiple sessions for me to do the same for UFO, and I had several months more shmupping experience for UFO than I did for SA. Of course, I was cheesing my way through them; I couldn't rightly say which is more difficult if you were actually trying to dodge things. Plus, in order to fairly compare difficulties, you have to know the games very well, and I'm betting that a lot of people didn't have more than passable competency when they got normal clears (I'm sure I didn't, anyway). So even a subjective comparison could be tricky.
For hard, though, I recently did a bombspam comparison of the two games and SA was slightly easier. There's more to learn in UFO's stages and there're more opportunities to die on them because of the ufo mechanic (even after learning the stages), but overall the difficulties are fairly close. For the curious: SA (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18266), UFO (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18292). I'm discontented about a lot of things in those runs, but I think they get the point across. Details are in the replay descriptions.
Saves you the effort of losing lives.
Hahaha... I love this phrasing. I'm using this in the future.
I'll list a few things to be on-topic. Over the past couple months...
SA hard: first 1cc, all shot types 1cc-ed.
UFO hard: same.
UFO hard: 3b0d Byakuren, topped off with my first cap of Flying Fantastica. Bombed Air Scroll because I hate glowing bullets, the last non because I'm lazy, and Purple shit because purple shit.
PoFV lunatic: 8/14 characters 1cc-ed. Got a legit clear with Yuuka(~) a few hours ago, which made me ecstatic. By legit, I mean that the AI ran into bullets each time in the final match (which ran 2:58), never getting trapped. I figure that if I can survive a hotdog onslaught with her, I can do it with anyone. At least with anyone who isn't named Sakuya (or possibly Komachi).

You still get a boat load of them.
Last I checked, you only don't get the fragment if you die, ergo, you just lost a life, and now you're not even getting a piece of an extra one, so now you're out 1 1/5 instead of just one, which is just... yeah.
-

Well when you put it like that, I guess you're right.

You still get a boat load of them.
You kinda have the math backwards. When you die on a section that gives up a life-piece, you not only lose the life from dying, but the lost life-piece means you automatically miss out on at least one Extend somewhere in the game (there are exactly 50 life-pieces in SA). In terms of getting hit by stuff, 4/5 of a life is equivalent to 0/5 in practice - the fragments are really only useful when you collect 5 of them, which is the only time you get the Extend. So it really only takes dying on or timing out six attacks with life-pieces to miss two Extends. Continuously dying on these attacks adds up faster than you think.
You also get 2.25 power back each time you die and .5 power with each spell kill. The game essentially rewards you for bombing your way through bosses.
I'll add that if you have either 3 or 4 lives and die, you'll get 3.20 Power back, and of course a Full Power when brought down to your last life. For the most part bosses do give up 0.5 Power per card, though their finals tend to give 0.4, and Utsuho, final boss that she is, gives more (0.75, 0.75, 1.00, and 2.00 if I recall). I'd have to disagree with SA rewarding bombing though. You did bring up the Power drops before, but outside of Utsuho it takes at least two cards to regain one bomb. Most shot types are a bit too weak for liberal bombing to be feasible, and if they get brought down to sufficiently low Power they won't kill any attacks before they time out (thus gaining no Power at all). That's not to say strategic bombing doesn't work anymore of course, just that some thought still has to go into it.
I can't really comment much on the SA Normal vs. UFO Normal debate since I first went through each of them at vastly different times. 1cc'ing SA Normal was one of the first things I ever did with a bullet hell game, getting it less than two weeks after I started playing Touhou. I remember UFO Normal still taking several tries to 1cc, though I was a bit better by the time I first tried that one.
-
Jumping into this thread because I have to be in it.

Yeah, the game is very lose with bombs, and you shouldn't be missing out on life fragments seeing as you can't even die enough times to miss more than two lives anyway, and missing those two lives is innevitable unless you kick the game's ass. SA Normal is still harder than UFO though.
I'd have to disagree with SA rewarding bombing though. You did bring up the Power drops before, but outside of Utsuho it takes at least two cards to regain one bomb.
But it should only take one bomb per spell until you reach stage 5, and since two spells give you one bomb, it's really like one bomb per two spells. Not to mention if you're capturing anything at all you'll be replenishing your bomb stock as fast as you deplete it. It doesn't quite "reward" bombing of course, but you can get away with bombing almost everything and still get back to full power by just passing a few parts through honest dodging. Most games give you three bombs per life, but in SA you've got 5 or 6 or more even.
-
Basically there are some really easy to learn tricks that trivializes a few late game attacks which makes SA easy to 1cc on all difficulties if you also know when to strategically bomb. Learning these will happen naturally if you watch all the current WR replays of SA multiple times :V
UFO is just way harder on all levels.
-
Well let me sum up the conclusion of which is harder, SA or UFO.
SA: Hard because of Utsuho's Giant Balls, Orin and her stage, and a Satori copying all your partner's attacks, a frickin' jealous woman, Suika's drunk sister, mindfucking Sister
UFO: Surpise from Kogasa, Mighty Ass anchors, Curvy Lasers of doom, Nue Orb, Flying Fantastica, another Kogasa surprise, the 2nd place Flandre(Nue).
Yup. In my view, that's all there is too me that's hard. So UFO is harder *shot*
EDIT: I cannot believe you are arguing about which is harder. Their both hard at many levels.
-
I find UFO's danmaku harder overall on Normal, resources notwithstanding. It's different from person to person though, and it's kinda only relevant to players who haven't 1cced both. Both games can give you a lot of bombs and lives if you know what you're doing, but if you can't clear them to begin with you probably don't.
Here's a list. Hopefully by the next thread I'll only have one thing left to do at most.
PC98 stuff: Can't get gamepad to work properly in emulator :<
EoSD: All difficulties cleared
PCB: All difficulties cleared
IN: All difficulties cleared, missing a fair number of last words and a couple normal spellcards
PoFV: All difficulties cleared
MoF: All difficulties cleared
SA: All but Lunatic cleared
UFO: All but Lunatic cleared
GFW: All but Lunatic B/C and Extra cleared (looool :< )
TD: All but Lunatic cleared, haven't touched spell practice at all
StB/DS: uhh I should probably play these sometime
Only thing I don't think is possible for me right now is UFO. Gotta get better.
-
I should have said "at least 2.25 power" earlier. I didn't know about the different amounts of power given by Okuu, though; I wasn't paying close enough attention. My bad on both counts.
I'll defer to Catfish on knowledge since I haven't watched WR runs on SA. But a quick note on what I do know and can explain:
Orin
...is a perfect example of why the game is easy when you learn to stop dodging and love the bombspam.
Her first and second nons are relatively easy, but the first two spells and the third non are a little tricky. If you start with 4 power, use one bomb on each spell and two on the third non, you end with 1.0 power and an extra life. Keeping with bombspam, you'll bomb and die to her next card then bomb her last card. Your power is now at 2.25 (2.25 - 1 + .5 + .5), which you can easily get back up to 4 over the next stage, but more importantly you have 1/5 of a life more than when you started against Orin.
Satori and Okuu are the only ones where you (probably and definitely, respectively) won't come out ahead if you bomb everything difficult, and stage five (and maybe four if you start out at near-zero power) is the only stage where you should die. Stages one-three and six you should end with more power than what you started with. You still have to learn the stages and the boss-attacks, of course, but once you do you can bomb the tricky stuff, clear the game with minimal (non-streaming) dodging, and wonder why you ever thought it was difficult, let alone impossible. Or that's what I was left with, anyway. Also, again, this is only for hard; I can't talk to other difficulty levels.
-
Here's your answer to Stage 5:
Use ReimuA and cheat with fucking borders
That always solves my problem.
-
I just acted like a crazy man recording Touhou 7's Extra Stage, and I nearly made my grandfather deaf due to yelling "UNACCEPTABLE!" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07So_lJQyqw) next to him when he walked by. You get to see me freaking out and yelling at Alice on the demo screen tomorrow.
As for actual accomplishment, I actually pulled off a Red Oni Blue Oni deathbomb CORRECTLY. (That card is the only card I cannot deathbomb at all. I don't have any explanation as to why.)

Which Character your using. If it's not Sakuya\ReimuA then, cannot help you with Oni God. I managed to 1cc PCB Extra with ALMOST all PCB Characters. If you want, I'll tell you what I secrets I used.

Why not learn how to capture it?
-
Why not learn how to capture it?
Except that I've captured it tons of times but it's not a foolproof method. Going left and right in that card's for faggots gay people idiots, but then again so is going up and down. The fact that I pulled a deathbomb off correctly and called it an accomplishment is because my not-foolproof-at-fucking-all method is somewhat prone to failure and I am never able to deathbomb it. When I fail, I always fucking lose a life. ALWAYS.
-

But then how else would you suggest doing it? Think for a minute dude. This card is streaming at its core, and when you do that it's just a matter of adjusting your path through the random bullets lying around, which is more than doable. If you're that concerned about killing the card quickly, stream the first set of four waves down from Chen, then go back and forth along the bottom.
-
I go left to right :> Also you should work on your awareness so you can bomb before getting hit, instead of trying to do it during or after.
-
Oh, a difficulty level discussion.
Touhou is harder, and I am not allowed to use this joke.
Apart from the finnish secondaries' opinion, tho'. They seem to assume that SA is the hardest thing ever and SA lunatic is GODMODELOL. That's what I've observed, anyway. And they're mainly normal (and easy) level players. So, from the point of view of a normalmodo player, SA is probably the hardest one.
Yeah, you can plan all kinds of cool bombing routes, but, at least in my case, you don't really plan your routes when you're a normal or easymodo player. I still am and I still don't plan, so, uhh... this has some kind of a logic, right?
That aside, I like the name of this topic really much, it suits my achievements so well.
So I shall post the EP1C LIST oF MY ACHEVMENTH0s!
I have calred IN greasy modo. :O (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=17409)
Twice! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=17369)
I've timed out a Spell Card! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16660) (it was hard)
I've tried new playing methods (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16112) (did not 1CC the game, but boasting anyway.)
I've 1CC'd MOUNTAIN of BOMB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15930)
I bombed, then I bombed again. And guess what, then I bombed again. And again. And, maybe again. Watch the run to see. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15926) (don't actually watch it, it's boring)
Hahaha. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15909)
NOT A 1CC (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15736)
And, I suck at TD scoring. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15519)

I'm feeling a lot of jealousy right now. But good job... Even though I'm jealous *parsee*
-
I suppose I should summarize my achievements here.
I've
- 1cc'd all Touhou games that are whole numbers from 6 to 13 on Normal
- Captured quite a few Last Word cards (See my YouTube channel for what I HAVE cleared.)
- Perfected SA Stage 4 with MarisaB on Normal
- Cleared PCB Extra and Phantasm with two characters each
- Captured Descent of Izuna Gongen, Ran Yakumo's final card
- Cleared IN Extra with the Border Team
- Seen Suwako's final card in Mountain of Faith's Extra Stage
- Seen Nue's final card in Undefined Fantastic Object's Extra Stage
- Timed out Final Master Spark on Lunatic without focusing
Now for a list by game
EoSD; I have 1cc'd this game on Normal with Missile Marisa and gotten up to Stage 5 in Hard mode without continuing (Or increasing how many lives I have)
PCB; I have 1cc'd Normal with ReimuB and SakuyaB (What is so damn good about SakuyaA, really?), and cleared Extra and Phantasm with both of them, Reimu clearing them twice because she's easier to use when playing casually (As in nor for achievement). Also, I've captured Descent of Izuna Gongen once. It has its own video.
IN; Captured Hourai Elixir on Normal and 1cc'd Normal once with the Border Team and another with the Netherworld Team. I have also cleared the Extra Stage with the Netherworld Team, so YIPPEE.
PoFV; Nothing because I don't understand the scoring or gameplay mechanics much for this game.
Mof; 1cc'd on Normal twice in a row and gotten to Suwako's last card on Extra.
SA; 1cc'd on Normal and barely made a dent in the Extra Stage; Perfected Stage 4 on Normal with MarisaB.
UFO; 1cc'd on Normal with ReimuB, MarisaA, and SanaeB.
TD; 1cc'd on Normal and unlocked all stages on Hard with my only continue in the last stage.
-
Oh right, new thread, new list. Why not.
- LLS, EoSD, PCB, IN, PoFV, MoF, SA, UFO, TD Lunatic 1cc.
- StB + DS all scenes cleared with both characters.
- SA, MoF, PCB, UFO Extra perfected. (Phantasm too for PCB)
- VoWG Lunatic timoeut, SFN timeout, Unseasonable Butterfly Storm timeout.
- MoF, all stages perfected.
- MoF no-bombs 1cc
- Plus a whole lot of other things.
-
Oh. so it turned into "list of glory thread" :V Well, lemme sum my modest accomplishments too:
EosD: Cleared normal with all characters, normal no bombs with MarisaA and ReimuB, extra with ReimuB. Captured all normal spellcards except Marionette.
MoF: Cleared normal with ReimuA, ReimuB and MarisaB, hard with ReimuA and MarisaB, extra with Marisa B(ug);
SA: only normal 1CC with ReimuA, but i've just started;
TD: Cleared normal with all girls except youmu, normal no bombs no trance with Reimu and Marisa, hard with Reimu and Marisa, Hard no bombs with Marisa. Captured all cards of normal and hard, captured and timed out some of lunatic too.
-
EoSD, PCB, IN, MoF, SA, TD lunatic 1cc
EoSD, PCB, IN, MoF, SA, UFO, TD normal 1cc and extra clear
VoWG timeout
Perfect Kanako
IN, TD all spells captured
-
IN, TD all spells captured
Even all last words and freaking Seiga's overdrive? Man, you're really good 8)
-
TD Hard was always one of the things I considered way harder than I should have.
I always thought Hard Stage 3 was bullshit and thought the rest of the game was the same: dense bullets and bullshit hitboxes. It kind of demotivated me and I ended up playing TD Hard MAYBE 3 or 4 times until today. Today I decided to bomb my way through her and see how I do, and (un)surprisingly enough, I 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18582) rather convincingly, with a blind Stages 4 through 6.
Guess I have EoSD, SA and UFO left. And PoFV.
-
EoSD Hard 1cc with all characters, Extra cleared with all characters
PCB Hard 1cc with both Reimu shottypes, Extra cleared with all types and Phantasm cleared with all except Marisa B. Also, terrible Extra no bombs run.
IN Normal 1cc with all teams, Fantasy Heaven captured with all teams and solo characters, all last words unlocked except Marisa's and Yukari's. Alice's one is the only one I haven't captured that is unlocked. Extra cleared with Border Team, Netherworld Team and Solo Yukari.
-
PCB Cleared Extra mode with Almost all characters
PCB Clear with all Characters on Normal
EoSD 1cc Marisa on Normal
UFO Extra unlocked
SA Captured Double Black Death Butterfly
PoFV Unlocked all characters and cleared normal
MoF used Overpowered Marisa 1cc
TD: Dodged Seiga Curvy Lasers and managed to survive.

Not sure if it's completely updated though. :derp:
-
And here came Jaimers and put all our achivements to shame lol. Well, you did EoSD and SA ultra lunatic 1CCs too? Can you upload them as the videos?
TD Hard was always one of the things I considered way harder than I should have.
I always thought Hard Stage 3 was bullshit and thought the rest of the game was the same: dense bullets and bullshit hitboxes. It kind of demotivated me and I ended up playing TD Hard MAYBE 3 or 4 times until today. Today I decided to bomb my way through her and see how I do, and (un)surprisingly enough, I 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18582) rather convincingly, with a blind Stages 4 through 6.
That's exactly how my first hard clear with Marisa came out. After being tired of constant failures i've just master sparked my way to victory.
-
EoSD Main: Easy 1cc using my face as input
Holy shit, that is awesome! What controller did you use?
I captured Storm on Mt.Ooe twice at 0 power in actual runs and then Tengu Macro Burst twice in a row in stage practice :/

No doubletap for SoEW
SA at 90FPS
PoDD as Chiyuri (cheesy style but what the hell)
VoWG timeout, and other cool timeouts I don't feel like listing
All spells captured everywhere.
lol using face as input. I tried that same game using my foot to play but only made it to stage 3
-
I remember doing this EoSD lunatic thumbs only-challenge a while ago. (it might be in the achievement list I posted earlier, I'm not sure what it includes, since I just use the same copypaste everywhen I feel like using it. I think it's getting old, tho', so I should maybe update it. I just don't have anything silly enough. Maybe I should do IN max bombs or something to refresh it. Arrgh. Give me ideas if you have any.) It ended at the Stage 3 boss opener, IIRC. I could try to 1cc the easy with face inputs. But I dunno, it would be a pacifist run since I couldn't shoot due to the fact that I can only hit one button with my nose a time. Any tips, Jaimers?
-
Well, you did EoSD and SA ultra lunatic 1CCs too? Can you upload them as the videos?
I dunno. I don't really know what to feel about the SA one (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15141) since I really didn't dodge anything in that. And the EoSD replay kind of got lost to the ether.
What controller did you use?
The only time I used a keyboard was for that run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8544) I used my chin for the arrow keys and my elbow for shift, z etc.
Uncomfortable to the point of it hurting but it was for some really silly contest back in the day. :V
Had to raise the keyboard on a stack of books so I could even see the screen.
-
I dunno. I don't really know what to feel about the SA one (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15141) since I really didn't dodge anything in that. And the EoSD replay kind of got lost to the ether.
Ah OK. Already seen this replay. The game looks like total bullshit and WTF for me :V Also, are you planning to do TD ultra 1.00c? You said, it's really hard.
that run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8544)
LMAO. Why havent i seen that before? It looked harder than SA ultra :V That Clock Corpse caprure might be your most amazing touhou achivement ever!
Meanwhile i did something Laser of Seventeen Articles normal timeout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18591) wasnt actually that difficult. Trying to do it on hard will be pain.
LOLWUT I've just timed it out too Honour the Avoidance of Defiance hard timeout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18593) 8) But... Dont expect me trying it on lunatic! No way!
-
It's not much compared to most here, but in the last couple weeks I've managed three new 1ccs: PCB Hard (2nd hard ever after IN), Phantasm, and SA Normal. Now I'm just missing UFO for all Normals. (Well, and SoEW, which I cannot control to save my life).
-
Nice; those are solid accomplishments. No need for a disclaimer.
Wrapped up EoSD lunatic 1ccs today. Reimu-B was fun and decently challenging, but leaving Mari-Bomb for last made for an unsavory and anticlimactic finish.
I think I should take a break from shmups... at least from those of the full-length-game variety. As of late, all I seem to be left with at the end of a session is frustration over my inconsistency and - whenever I've actually managed to limp through and clear something - wonderment over why I ever struggled with something so easy. I've never been any better, but I don't take any solace in it and instead keep expecting near-flawless performances. I need an attitude adjustment.

EoSD: Flower Dream Vine NF Timeout, Extra NB clear.

Ditto, did the former (normal ver) in 6 tries yesterday, did the latter (hard ver) in 13 tries a few minutes ago. Pretty fun.
-
While we're on the topic of Miko timeouts:
Royal Clan's Chaotic Dance [Normal] (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18598)
The best thing is this card is like a traditional survival card, it gets harder as time passes.
-
Mountain of Faith no-vertical Normal 1CC. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18600)
Did absolutely horrible in stage 5, but captured some surprising stuff, like Kappa's Pororoca and Mountain of Faith. Finished with 3 lives 3.X power.
-
Everlasting "Pheonix's Tail" timeout. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18608)
Took 81 attempts.
An improvement from Skyfish's ~350. :V
-
Captured Kanako's third spellcard on normal the funny way http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ic9irVbmWMQ :)
-
Settled the oldest score with the oldest rival.
FUCK YOU, BYAKUREN HIJIRI.
(aka perfect ufo stage 6 normal. not really something super-impressive but something that was a slippery achievement-to-be for a long, long time. no more dying at 0:00 on final spells, nope.)
-
I noticed that the first spellcard of Marine Benefit's extra midboss gets harder as it goes on. So I did the only logical thing that can be done with this information: time out the card (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX--VCXdB6w).
-
The only accomplishments I'm happy with are...
IN; MoF; PCB Lunatic 1ccs
EoSD; PCB (Phantasm); IN; MoF; SA; 10D Extra 90FPS clear.
-
1cced TD Lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18637). 10.2% slowdown rate because even on 16-bit mode this PC can't handle glowy final boss bullets I guess. When I finally get around to fixing my laptop I'll probably redo this just to get rid of that, but I spent pretty much all of the slowdown time bombing/trancing/pointblanking during periods when there were no bullets so I still think this is legit. When I was out of bombs and trance I just suicided.
-
So, a few months back, I broke the Hard barrier by beating Lotus Land Story, albeit with a touch more slowdown than I would've liked. Today? This morning, in fact?
Yuyuko Saigyouji falls! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18644)
I probably could've done a hell of a lot better, but clearing the game at 2/1, with only one border broken on Resurrection Butterfly, for my first Windows Hard clear, is... Well, to me, it's impressive.
-
Oh, we're doing this again? Well alright, I can give into hubris one last time - I've always wanted to see how this looks after all, and I can finally make what may be the final draft of my accomplishments list (until the next game):
Every official game lunatic 1cc
Every main series spell card captured on lunatic (discounting Fairy Wars)
All extra clear
All scenes captured in StB and DS
Every Windows stage cleared on lunatic/extra no deaths
Every boss perfected on lunatic/extra (as in, beaten no deaths, no bombs)
J-just what I have to show from four years of dedicated work. ;^^
EDIT: Oh, and ESPgaluda and Dodonpachi 1cc, for the people who keep insisting I play a Cave game.
-
EDIT: Oh, and ESPgaluda and Dodonpachi 1cc, for the people who keep insisting I play a Cave game.
What everyone meant when they insisted for you to play Cave was either Ketsui or DOJ. :V
-
Lol creditfeeding TD Lunatic
Only highlights include captures of Poison Murder and Seiga's midboss card
those are achievements right
-
Wow Stage 5 of SA lunatic! Haven't played SA alot but just did a random run and got to stage 5 boss! maybe made me motivated to beat SA lunatic.
-
Found an easy way to do resurrection butterfly 80% (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3U32PpptmA). I don't think it's anything new, but I never saw anyone posting a replay of this method.
-
No death Miko battle on Hard, the very first time I tried. Considering I had continued 4 times coming up to it (clipdeaths galore) that's good for me. >_>
-
Hai guize i juts 1cl'd PFoV lnauitc wtih Raymoo bye TSAnig uit.

I got bored.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18666
No hits on Komachi and Shikieiki either.

I usually do that for Normal and Hard Mode, but I didn't think it would be that effective on lunatic
-
uhh...k
So I just captured ExKogasa's last spell and Nue's survival.
For the first time ever.
In the same run.
Which also happened to be my blind run of the extra stage on ultra mode.
So that's every pattern in the stage in some incarnation or another captured :D
-
Timeout of Futo's first spell (the hard one) and Miko's second-last spell (the hard one) on Hard.
With Youmu.
Aww yeah.
Futo's was surprisingly fun.
-
Timeout of Futo's first spell (the hard one) and Miko's second-last spell (the hard one) on Hard.

Aww yeah.
Futo's was surprisingly fun.
"Iwafune Ascending to Heaven" is one of the most hard attacks in the game for me. I can surely capture it only on normal but on hard and lunatic i mostly bomb or trance it to hell. "Honour the Avoidance of Defiance" is also hard, but i timed it out on hard (with Reimu) and captured on lunatic. All in all - good job! May you share a replay or a video, cause i'd like to watch it ;)
-
Futo's (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18670). The first few dodges were pretty random, especially the third or fourth, idr. :V
Miko's (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18671). I thought I was screwed when the lasers were really close in the last few seconds.
Futo's actually took me twice the amount of tries: 22. Miko's took 11 tries.
-
LOLZ!
Just tried to time out "Iwafune Ascending to Heaven" lunatic with Marisa. After 87 tries i've succeeded! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18673)
This timeout includes some ridiculously lucky dodges and cheating Futo a little by luring her to the top, wich makes first 25 seconds a bit easier.
And man. I've got a feeling that to time this card out is somewhat easier than to capture, cause you can focus on dodging and dont need to chase the boat.
-
Oh, yes, first TD 1CC.
Complete with three derp deaths in Stage 5 that could have easily been avoided.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18681
343 million.
Extra stage is easier than I ever would have guessed.
Got halfway on Mamizou on my first try.
-
Marisa Solo 90FPS NoFocus Timeout of Magicannon "Final Master Spark" on Lunatic! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18683)

Nicely done, mate! Though at some places i was literally screaming "U R doin' it rong!" or "Y U NO TRANCE?!" You actually did it better than me on my first 1CC (loosing almost all lives to Miko OTZ) Learn how to use trance proper (not only for defence, but to gather life/bomb pieces at double rate) and do it again with Marisa.
As for extra, i've tried it exactly once, got to 6th or 7th Mamizou card on a first try and found it boring. Maybe sometime i'll bother to clear it but now i dont feel like want.
P.S.: Congratz with figuring out Miko's last spell ;)
Marisa Solo 90FPS NoFocus Timeout of Magicannon "Final Master Spark" on Lunatic! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18683)

That! I'm not playing IN and lazy to run it with vpatch at 90 fps to watch a single replay :P
-
Oh you didn't want to install it just to watch that one replay, okay. :V
Really though, you should install those patches just to remove the input lag when you play the older games.
-

Of course. I've got it installed for EoSD and MoF
Meanwile: MoF normal no bombs 1CC (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18689) with Reimu B. Perfected all till Sanae's Guest Stars, captured the rest and made a poor Kanako battle :V
Also i've got a wish to time out "Mountain of Faith" (VoWG normal), but dunno if it has timeout phase. Maybe i just shoot it till it enters final phase. And yeah, Kanako on normal must be perfected.
-
There is no timeout phase. At least not on Lunatic, so Normal shouldn't have one either.
-

The timeout phase on Lunatic starts at 20 seconds from the beginning. :3
-
EoSD is such a troll game. I mean really.
I started my daily Touhou session by trying ReimuA for the first time on EoSD Hard. How did it go?
Death to Rumia's last spell. This has never happened, with any shottypes.
Perfect Cirno. Yawn.
Death to Meiling's first spell, which is just "the hell" and I personally blame ReimuA's weak ass for this.
So far, bad run.
Two derpdeaths to Patchy, along with a few bombs. I mean, come on, I could have done MUCH better than that.
And then...
2B Sayuka. 'Kay.
Derp on Remilia's second non-spell. Blargh.
Third spell capture.
Scarlet Miester 1B, good performance after the first bomb.
Scarlet Gensokyo capture. Very nice capture in that.
And I 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18695) with 3 lives and 0 bombs.
I didn't even feel like I played my best, and I still won super-convincingly.
I hate you, EoSD.
-
Finally got past Aya on MoF
Died to Sanae, but I was sure if I didn't have a couple of REALLY derpy deaths on Stage 4 I would have got past her. [I also caputred her first boss spellcard]
-
@MMX
I've not mapped out effective trance routes for stages past stage two :3
Stage 4 is a little obvious though.
I'm a little okay with my Miko performance in that replay, though. IIRC 1D1B. And deathtrancing on Discernment Laser Blahblahblah caused me to fail the final as well because my god why can I not NOT shoot during trance :(
As for Mamizou, let's see what I've capped.
Nue's third, Mamizou's circle people, Mamizou's falling birds, and....
I don't remember anything else...
I died to Dogs Try To Eat You and Asshole Exploding Frogs, and due to low life system in TD I'm almost certain that was all the fight was...
-
To go along with Yuyuko's defeat, Remilia falls today on Hard!
And here's the proof. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18698)
All in all... I'm mostly satisfied. I bombed a few times when I should not have needed to, and was humiliated by Patchy and Stage 5, too - and losing that last spare life on Scarlet Meister made Scarlet Gensokyo rather tense. I STILL am going to need to figure out Scarlet Meister before I can feel confident enough to 1CC more often.
But, hell, I won, that's an achievement.
-
I STILL am going to need to figure out Scarlet Meister before I can feel confident enough to 1CC more often.
Dodge the bullets.
There's no trick other than that.

Nah, the main bulk of the waves are 'static' according to your position so a bit of learning is needed for you to know where the easier parts are.

Well, I've been trying to capture the lunatic version and I almost just did while unlocking Stage 6 for practice with MarisaA; I dodged 2 full waves of 2.
Without any memorization, just reading and dodging.
Oh, and 1DNB lunatic Sakuya. (stupid second nonspell...)
EDIT: check the attachment. 18 tries at all incarnations of Scarlet Gensoyko, 12 at the lunatic version in stage practice...CAPTURE OF SCARLET GENSOYKO LUNATIC :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
This totally wasn't that hard. :dealwithit:
-
Now, see, the way it feels to me is that Scarlet Gensokyo may very well be "easier" than Red Magic (Scarlet Magic? I don't know.), it's just that the times when I'm going to go up against, well, either one, are usually the times when I have to shift my bomb reflex a few milliseconds further to the side of caution because I'm low on resources, shaking with anticipation and excitement, and generally going for a 1CC attempt.
Which is why I dreaded taking that hit to Scarlet Meister, because going into Scarlet Gensokyo at three bombs (ended up being two) and zilch for lives would normally be a death sentence to my run. But, hell, I'm the one who captured Flying Fantastica Normal in a flurry of unprecedented (for me) competence during my victory against Byakuren that included a capture of Sinker Ghost earlier in the run and a perfect run of the Devil's Recitation/St. Nikou's/Flying Fantastica gauntlet. So, hey, something like this will come to me eventually, right?
-
Oh, and 1DNB lunatic Sakuya. (stupid second nonspell...)
The only thing stupid about Sakuya is her spells and you need to understand how the second non-spell is the coolest thing she has. Especially on max rank.
-
I captured Night With Overly Bright Guest Stars.
Without memorizing a path.
So, ALL MoF SPELLS CAPTURED (on all difficulties)!
3rd game I've done this for, first without spell practice.
Proof: [attach=1] (yes, that is a 2/9 on PWG)
-
Double Spoiler 12-7 get. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18704) Pre-Clear Photo Count: 453.
I will not stop until I destroy you, Byakuren Hijiri.
This turned out to be some serious spell practice. I mean, holy damn. @_@
-
and losing that last spare life on Scarlet Meister made Scarlet Gensokyo rather tense.
It actually lowered the rank and made things much easier than if you captured Meister ;) That happened to me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1tjFk5HjmM) on normal causing the only capture of Red Magic i've got (though i've got some luck with Remilia moves too)
I captured Night With Overly Bright Guest Stars.
Without memorizing a path.
So, ALL MoF SPELLS CAPTURED!
3rd game I've done this for, first without spell practice.
Damn. Why i always fail at this spell even on normal. It's easy, i know how it works, but i keep screwing it up all the time >_< As for all game spells capturing, i can challenge it only on normal. And wait a minute... Is it only Miracle of Otensui wich keeps me from that accomplishment? :wat:
-
Is it only Miracle of Otensui wich keeps me from that accomplishment? :wat:
This was the last normal spell I captured in the game, so quite possibly.
By 'full game capture' I mean every spell on every difficulty though-this includes lunatic :3 (VoWG took less tries for me to capture than Sanae's first spell: how messed up is that?)
-
I almost broke the IN easy Reimusolo WR!
(http://i.imgur.com/muily.png) (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18703)
(Click the image if you want to watch a replay)
Only 2.613B to go!!!
That aside, Cheers, IHaveNoName and BT! Great work there.
-
It actually lowered the rank and made things much easier than if you captured Meister ;)
The thing is, I do know this, but the rank would've dropped anyway if I had saved that life and then lost it during Scarlet Gensokyo. Then again, losing it THEN at Meister was probably a blessing in disguise, as I'm a bit known for chain-dying during final spells.
-
So, uh, remember the time I got the Skyfish Nue spell timeout? In, like, over 350 attempts? Around a few weeks ago?
Well, I liked it so much that I did it again. And timed it out again. Within 5 tries.
I... I don't even know.
-

The rank was not only lowered by death but also didnt increased by capturing a spell. It's also a good thing in a game like this wich have this rank system and hard last spell. Anyways, congratz on successfull run ;)
-
I just cleared Marine Benefit Extra with SanaeC. :]
The best part is that I was recording, and Fraps was actually nice enough to split the video into only 3 parts. Expect to see the clear up on Youtube within the day.
EDIT: Part 1 is up! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgFKN6mLEzk) Now with annotations.
-
Just did another run of PCB Extra, captured 8 cards out of 12 and missed 4. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18707) Those four misses were, if I can recall all of them, I bombed Red Oni Blue Oni, I died on Kokkuri-San's Contract due to being a graze-happy twit, I died on Unilateral Contact because I fucking hate it more than the one that everyone seems to bitch about, the one where you dodge bubbles inside a container in the shape of a rhombus, which I captured in that run. I can't remember the others, but to tell the truth I counted how many times I died/bombed during a spell and how many times I captured them while watching the replay (Thank you Vsync Patch for fastforwarding ability)
Apparently my clear/miss ratio for the one with my top score is 10 to 2, which makes me feel sad that my run without the Vsync patch was better than the one with.
-
Finally. Miracle of Otensui normal 1/33 with Reimu B. This makes all MoF normal spellcards captured, yay!
Also attempted to close the "old deal" with Marionette wich keeps me from the same accomplishment in EoSD. But this is impossible! I keep derping into it whatever i do. Reimu or Marisa, misdirecting or tight dodging, high or low rank, no matter. I can capture it only on easy :qq:
As for all_spells_in_da_game, i suppose the only one i could do it is my favourite Ten Desires :3 I've already captured all of easy, normal and hard spellcards and a few of lunatic. There are also overdrive and extra wich would be the problem, but i dont feel like i wanna go for such a challenge now.
-
Managed to get to Mamizou without dying.
Managed to get to 6th Duel: Tankuni's Monsterous School, the furthest I've ever got in an extra Stage.
-
You know what, Malkyrian? Timing spellcards out is contagious ;) So here it comes my (not so great) accomplishment Mountain of Faith normal timeout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BErzmIp0D6s)
That came out pretty fast, and something tells me it can be done either no vertical or no focus too, wich would be even more fun.
-
Why do I ALWAYS screw up even the simplest parts of the stages in 1cc's when I can do it perfectly fine in stage practice?
Nevertheless, I finally managed to 1cc EoSD Normal with ReimuB (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=18716), which means I don't need to use ReimuA for the extra stage anymore, at last.
The only parts I still have somehow problems with is Meilings last card, Undine, Sylph and almost all of Remilia. (even when it not looks that way in the replay...)
But I won't rest until I get a proper 1cc with ReimuB.
-
Well, I decided having failed to 1CC anything for almost a month to go back to TD and give it another go, see how much I've 'improved' since my 1CC, which I ended with 1 Bomb and 0 lives.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18730 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18730)
I'm STILL not happy with this, for several reasons:
1: I missed a few resources. Going to the PoC on the end of stage 2 stopped a wave spawning at the end, for example and onthe start of stage 5 I bombed instead of tranceing.
2: Herpa-Derped on Miko's 2nd spellcard, I have only captured it once, to be completely fair, but, seriously, I thought I was past clipping that spell :/
3: Decided to hit the SCREW THIS button majorly on her penultimate spell.
4: Pretty bad fight against Seiga in general, although capture of her 2nd spell is good.
5: I did worse against Miko than my first 1CC
6: Lower score
Still, it's an improvement. And seeing as I haven't actually played TD aside from Extra for a month before this...
-
Been a while.
ALmost did a No Death run of Imperishable Night Normal but Kaguya kinda ruined it for me. (2 deaths on her).
Still it marks the first time I have EVER broken the 1 Billion point mark in a Touhou game. =D

Not to put a damper on this, but IN survival runs often hit a billion, and for the other Touhou games hitting a billion requires scoring tricks.
Nice job on it though, it must have but a great clear.

*Shakes head at how bad she fails when it comes to this* oh wells.
I was surprised at how it was turning out. I was playing for the sake of playing alongside osme in class. Didn't expect it to do that. (I also capped Dragon Necklace which I NEVER do. I had a head-desk worthy derp on the stage whilst trying to get points, got that life back, derped on Eirin's non-spell but capped her card and Rainbow Dnmaku at the only other life.)
-
Man, what is with me and these ridiculous challenges?
Timed out Futo's first spell on Hard with Reimu... no-focus, half an hour ago. Tried the same with Youmu... let's just say I was close a few times, ahaha.
-
I 1cc'd Lotus Land Story on Normal.
Proof. (http://i852.photobucket.com/albums/ab84/fsvgm777/NP2_0006.png)
By the way, I used MarisaB.
-
Aaaand I get the Youmu no-focus timeout on my first attempt after posting. Why am I enjoying these things so much? :X
-
One more post, I promise.
Miko's second-last spell on Hard, Reimu, no-focus timeout. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18733)
Bwahahaha. ~Only~ 36 tries, too. Surprisingly fun and not bullshitty as I would have expected.
-
You, sir, are freaking awesome :dragonforce: But i'd like to watch no-focus Youmu timeout of Futo's card too
Why am I enjoying these things so much? :X
Same here. Though i dont wonder why i'm enjoying timing out spellcards (even in the games without spell practice) cause it's really fun.
Also, have you seen this (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18729) a few lines under your upload? Needs ultra patch for more crazyness. :o
-
Here. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18734)
The replay you linked is bugged, at least for me, dunno why. Also, never really dealt with Ultra patches before and I don't know if I want to, at least for now.

You make this card look so easy :3 As for T's replay, you need ultra patch to watch it properly.
-
Oh, duh, that makes sense.
Also, got off my ass to unlock all the spells on Lunatic (basically, clear Lunatic with continues), just so I could dance with those.
And, umm, Miko's second-last on Lunatic: Reimu Timeout. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18734) [30 attempts]
*Cue maniac laughter*
-
It actually lowered the rank and made things much easier than if you captured Meister ;)
Scarlet Meister and Scarlet Gensokyo aren't affected by rank though. I'm guessing Red Magic doesn't either so good job!

MOTHER OF FUTO, IT IS DONE.
Iwafune Ascending to Heaven Lunatic timeout. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18741) [245 tries]
This is... by FAR my biggest TD achievement. Five times harder than the Honour the Avoidance of Defiance Lunatic timeout and ten times harder than the Iwafune Ascending to Heaven Hard timeout w/ no-focus Youmu. Yes, the gap between Lunatic and Hard in this spell is THAT big. On non-Lunatic difficulties, I could make it so the waves were always easy to navigate through, only due to my movement. You can't do that on Lunatic - the waves are more dense and more close to eachother. Most of the times you're facing waves that require extreme precision to dodge. And then she just throws those retarded arrows at you and HNNNNGGGH I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.
Obviously, there were no such impossibly hard waves in this run, which is why I got it in this run. It was... quite the thing.
:]

Congratz, man! I still can't beleive it took me 87 tries to do this with Marisa (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63N1E4K-PFQ) It was some incredible luck i suppose. Never again!
-
Haven't been playing touhou much, well haven't been motivated at all, managed to do a Hard-mode EoSD since i've touched everything else but EoSD.
Outcome - 1cc 2/3 with final score of 190M.
-
I got past Patchouli in EoSD Lunatic and made it to Sakuya's second nonspell. Double K.O. at the end of it, but I don't really care that much.
I think I should start working on EoSD Lunatic. Hard isn't too much trouble for me anymore and it's about time I got my first Lunatic 1cc since I've been playing Touhou for just over a year. Well, I did spend a couple of months without a computer but whatever, I still want to get this done.
-
._. Wow you guys are all so good >~< Meh well, I've only been playing for maybe 1/3 of a year :\
Oh well, little by little. Finally managed to beat SA ^^
-
- Completed MoF Hard Mode
- Completed EoSD Hard Mode
- Made it too Yukari's final spell then died
- Captured 5 of Ran's cards
- Captured all of Chen's Cards
- Used the safe spot on Icicle fall - Easy -
-
Grr...
Iwafune Ascending to Heaven Lunatic no-focus timeout is... possible, but way too luck-based for a sane person to deal with.
Which probably explains why I've dealt with it for like 200 tries now, and am likely to continue.
Best attempt was: 15 seconds remaining.
-
10 tries, got it halfway down, died by arrow.
That never happens and now I'm bored with it.
-
Arrows are 50% of my deaths.
>:(
-
I did that a while ago and arrows where what usually killed me. It seems weird given how few of them there, but it happens.
-
After motivated to do Iwafune Ascending to Heaven Lunatic time-out, i got pissed off and ragequited. I come back again to re-do it after a week, trying to get no focus, timeout, such that it was a success: Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18748)
Was wandering that this should be in special challenge for Touhou Tournament, to try get the highest point value, since it involves graze whoring and shot-gunning at the same time.
-
I got up to Remilia's first card in an EoSD Lunatic attempt. That was unexpected but I'm not complaining.
-
I got up to Remilia's first card in an EoSD Lunatic attempt. That was unexpected but I'm not complaining.
Which shot type were you using?
-
Which shot type were you using?
Reimu A, because she has the easiest Patchouli battle and she makes collecting power in stage 1 easier.
-
That's who I used for my lunatic 1cc, I ended up clearing my second attempt getting to Remilia, my first ended at her first card. You're really close to getting it.
-
I used MarisaB for my first lunatic 1cc (EoSD).
Basically, after resource managing to get to Remillia with like 2-3 lives,
it all depends on not derping up on her, especially things like Scarlet Gensokyo lolol.
If you can dodge that reliably, 1cc should come soon. I've had gameovers on that card.
-
Just cleared Stage 3 in SA in Stage Practice.
With no focus, no bombs, and no shooting.
As ReimuC.
-
Just 1cc'd SA once again ^^
As a personal victory, I'm now able to get past Orin with relative ease, and then Okuu's now the main killer(although it's mostly her opening spell , meltdown, and artificial sun that get me)
More practice, more practice, and then go to EoSD Hard Mode.
-
Ok, finally cleared that annoying Sanae extra stage (Marine Benefit), where I consistently derp on every single possible place.
The clear was made possible by gaining the last live on the last spell,
through grazing with the invincibility right after the last bomb wears off - I proceeded to die almost right after.
-
So I timed out Tengu Macro Burst without focus or shooting. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIc4ivHvx0o) If that doesn't sound impressive, bear in mind which shot type faces Tengu Macro Burst.
-
I dodged the PCB Stage 6 spam. On lunatic. With Sakuya. In about 10 tries.
Sanae's first spell took more tries to avoid than this...
Oh hey 3DNB EoSD extra run.
deaths were to the survival, QED and Kagome Kagome.
Also perfect MoF Stage 5 lunatic up to Moses Miracle, with a timeout of her opener.
I tried timing out Moses Miracle for cactu, but it wasn't fun and I died 6 times. (did last 22 seconds, enough to capture it-I died later on though, so I didn't spoil a perfect MoF lunatic Stage 5)
-
Perfected Ichirin three times in a row. I'm getting more and more consistent on King Kraken Strike. In fact, I'm failing the final one more. :V
Its usually some really dumb mistake that would never happen when I actually pay attention.
-
Ten Desires extra clear, with Sanae.
2 to go on my project to clear all extras with all shot types.
This was easily my worst run yet, dying to Scrolls of Frolicking Animals (with full trance AND 3 bombs) and to her second spell.
The only reason I won is because I 1 bombed Wild Deserted Island.
Oh and I double KOed on my last life in stock so yeah that's that.
Only 2 Marisa types remain (A in SA, B in UFO)
Also, improved my VoWG history to 2/20-by capturing it in the same run as a 1 miss timeout of Yamato Torus.
-
Just cleared Stage 3 in SA in Stage Practice.
With no focus, no bombs, and no shooting.
As ReimuC.
Well, damn. I'd love to see a replay of this, do you have one? Pacifist runs are always a blast to watch.
In other news, I fired up PoFV today after having played only Cave shooters for the past few months. Ended up 1ccing Lunatic with Reisen. Did not see that coming.
-
I believe he's talking about Stage 3 Normal, if it wasn't clear. At least, I hope that's the case, as anything above that would be quite insane. :V
-
Just cleared Koishi last night! I have no idea why it's taken so long but I've finally gotten the clear!
-
-
Now I wonder, will I be able to clear other extras too... (I think so :) )
fix'd
Seriously, if you told me even 3 months ago I'd be perfecting entire extra stages, I'd tell you you were crazy. Now I've done 2.
If you showed me Scarlet Gensoyko or Virtue of Wind God a year ago (before I knew about Touhou) and told me I'd capture those I'd laugh and say 'no way'. I've captured both, the latter twice on lunatic.
Basically, keep trying, keep improving and you'll get more.
-
If you got Ran, you should be able to get Suwako and Nue as well. At least, that's how it went for me.
-
90FPS Blazing Wheel timeout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g46boINPgew) just for the sake of 90FPS YouTube Video test.
Also, I beat Remilia on Normal at 90FPS with a 1/0 resource ratio at the end and DAMN YOU RED MAGIC WHY CAN'T I CAPTURE YOU :qq:
-
For a second there, I thought that was a 90FPS Normal timeout of Orin's ghost wheels. I think... I think my blood pressure is back to normal now.
-
Well, damn. I'd love to see a replay of this, do you have one? Pacifist runs are always a blast to watch.
Here you go, enjoy. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18784)
-
Now this (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=18786) is a lot better than last time.(EoSD Normal 1cc,ReimuB )
But somehow my score is lower...
I'll start working on Flan-chan next :3
-
Another silly challenge - capture Skyfish with Unknown Shape ultra with Marisa (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFc8oTR6pDY) I've also tried to time it out with Reimu but cant survive more than first 20 seconds >_<
-
PCB Hard 1cc with Sakuya A
Survived Q.E.D using only one bomb
I entered the card with only one bomb after fucking up on ATWTBN? several times and finished with 0 resources. I was expecting a double K.O but fortunately that didn't happen.
-
Cleared 1A Fairy Wars normal modo after much screaming and hair-tearing.
-
Well I haven't played in a few weeks so I thought I'd see how rusty I am.
I sat down and timed out Kanako's opener, Yamato Torus and Heaven's Dragon all in the same run, on my first try. I think this confirms my theory: I get better at things when I'm not doing them.
Well then, time to keep improving... by continuing to play Earthbound. (Or maybe those things were never hard to begin with) :derp:
-
I have decided I want a perfect timeout of Virtue of Wind God lunatic.
and so, after 3 serious attempts, I get it down to 56 seconds left (84 seconds in, more than half of the hard part)
Do I get cake for progressing so fast? :3
-
I feel like boasting a bit now. So...
All official games completed on all difficulties;
SoEW, LLS, MS, EoSD, PCB, IN, PoFV, MoF, SA with all characters on lunatic;
all others with all characters on hard and at least with one character on lunatic;
StB and DS cleared fully.
Mainly my achievments are those NDBFs. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/index.php?u=jade&g=--&p=&t=--&d=--&ch=56)
-
YESSS
I finally beat Koishi after several months' hiatus!
(Does beating this extra.... usually give you 200,000,000 for free?)
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18807
That leaves Mamizou, Nue, Mokou, and Flandre.
-
PCB was too hard, so SA Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18808) instead
-
Congrats on that. Now I don't know what you mean about PCB being too hard so I expect you to do that before this week is over. :D
-
PCB is really nasty with crashing into things.
At least IMO.
All of my deaths end up being from weird movements or cheeky bullets from nowhere :x
My achievements?
TD and IN Normal 1cc :U
Captured some more Last Words in IN.
Uh....yeah...
-
And so, I reached the final phase of five seconds. I died at 00, but that's understandable. It's fucking art, man. Fucking art.

Yamato Torus lunatic timeout.
I got really lucky and moved unfocused through a wall of knives at 4 seconds left...
-
Congrats on that. Now I don't know what you mean about PCB being too hard so I expect you to do that before this week is over. :D
I mean exactly what I said. PCB is hardest Touhou. I think MoF is next for me.
-
And I got it. Hourai Elixir Ultra Lunatic capture (Honestly, I have no idea what kind of order should I put the conditions to. Feel free to correct me.)
(http://i.imgur.com/wBWSj.png) (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18822)
(Click the image for a replay)
This was rather fun one to pull off, whenever I got past the green phase the adrenaline rush made it worth it. Worth of waiting for 1 minute. And the final five seconds were really fun. I can suggest you people to try doing this if you liked Hourai Elixir as a pattern on it's normal version. This is totally worth the effort.
I think I'm also uploading this to my Youtube, so... if you follow it, there might be another upload shortly!
-
I mean exactly what I said. PCB is hardest Touhou. I think MoF is next for me.
I don't understand you. But if that's the case for you then I guess I'll just have to wish you good luck with MoF. (Which is a lot better btw. hahaha)...
Hardest Touhou though? Harder than UFO and EoSD too?
-
Played around some in Lunatic UFO, captured Kogasa's rainy day no focus (minimum power) and pacified all midboss spells up to and including stage 4 no focus.
I noticed that you can use ReimuB's bomb as a supergrazing tool, since you can have like 3 seconds of invincibility after the orbs have exploded, not sure if that is useful anywhere in the game though. Maybe on Extra Kogasa, if you can somehow bomb before the next spellcard begins without ruining the bonus (can you?).
-edit-
Captured Kogasa's Umbrella Express Night Carnival no focus (as well as all her other attacks) at 1 power. Kogasa's nonspells are fun no focus.
-
Somehow managed to capture First Duel in TD Extra.
And proceeded to fail against every other card in that run.
However, I'm generally getting to 5th~6th Duel now, and I'm usually captureing at least one of Mamizou's Cards.
The amount of times TD Extra throws a jerk move at me though is insane. Between Will-O-Wisps doing 270+ degree turns to hit me in the rear on Nue's first card, to me having a 0/40 record on Skyfish, to 2nd Duel having a random dog spawn while I'm re-streaming downwards that makes said re-streaming impossible, and I don't spot until it's too late because the falling green danmaku obscured it ARRGH.
-
So, yer, major EoSD Extra improvements.
My run just now showcased the following:
Bomb on Phil Stone.
Derp on Cranberry.
Death on Leviathan (wasn't at the absolute side of the screen and got hit by a laser wall).
Derp on Catadioptric.. might've just butchered the name there, not sure.
Bomb on ATTWBN.
Derp + Bomb on Q.E.D ("i can totally capture this i can totally capture this" *runs into nearby bullet*)
and I was relatively close to that capture too
So overall a 0/2 L/B finish, but a very good run in which I capture most of the spells and get a score 35 Mil higher than my former (and first) clear. 151 Mil, compared to 116 Mil.
Yeah, this was nice.
-
Oh, on the subject of which.
The farthest I've gotten through Flandre would be Counter Clock, which I've seen exactly once.
My high score on that run is some 99 million.
I recently tried again and died before getting to Flandre with 102m.
Achievement or no?
-
If you ended Philosopher's Stone at full power (or better yet, captured it) that would probably explain that. You get an atmosphere of point items.
-
Just game over'd on Maze of Love. This is an accomplishment because this was the first time I got past Cranberry Trap, and the stage run was pretty bad, I reached Flan with 1/2. Also captured Kagome,Kagome and Lavatein and would have captured Four of A Kind, if not for a panicbomb near the end of the card :V
Man, Extra stages are fun. 8)
-
Whee, managed to get my LLS Normal 1cc!
Now, on to MS, which will likely be much harder if my attempts at it previously are any indication...
-
Even though I haven't played in four months, I got to Flandre's Maze of Love while doing a no vertical run with Marisa A!
I wish my up and down keys would work, as well as my game pad. :derp:
-
Hardest Touhou though? Harder than UFO and EoSD too?
Okay, maybe not worse than UFO (almost as hard maybe), but definitely harder than EoSD. EoSD isn't so bad aside from the lower resource count and a couple tough areas (a couple Patchy spells, Killing Doll, some of Remi's stuff if you don't bomb through it) - ie. I can actually dodge in EoSD and therefore don't need as many resources, as opposed to PCB where I can't dodge for shit and will probably actually need my bajillion lives and Sakuyabombs.
-
More UFO shenanigans: UFO stage 4 no focus pacifist attempt (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18849). It's technically not my best attempt, but it has some fun dodges. I can sometimes manage everything except the red orbspam after the streaming part, which seems as hard as the kunai spam in TD stage 2 under these conditions >:( Murasa not included.
And a better attempt here (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18851). Missed on the first midboss wave :V and of course at the spam stuff. It's a fun stage to play.
-
Recent Accomplishments:
* 1CC Normal of PCB using SakuyaA, still working on one for SakuyaB
* 1CC Normal of TD with Reimu, Marisa, and Sanae. Youmu's focus mechanic still throws me off.
* 1CC Normal of UFO (SO HAPPY! I had to use continues just to get to stage 6 and even then hadn't ever cleared the game on Normal. Then, yesterday out of the blue, I ran through the first four stages with no miss/no bomb, so the rest was just resource allocation)
* 1CC Normal of IN with Scarlet Team
* Extra and Phantasm cleared on PCB using SakuyaA and SakuyaB (ironic that I can beat Yukari with SakuyaB but not the regular game??)
* 1CC Normal of Story of Eastern Wonderland, forgot which Reimu shottype though.

Wild Carpet timeout.
Took ~110 attempts.
Second attempt of the day.

-
And... another one (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18859). Did it just now.
I just love the card, it's as simple as that. Consider this the opposite of a minimal movement challenge, as well, seeing as I was being reckless during pretty much the entire thing.
I mean, just look at those 4 loops around Nue, making me intentionally have to go back to the center from the side.
So fun. :V
-
Haha. You make it look so easy :D I have a challenge for you wich i've tried a lot of times but failed. Try to time this card out while sitting above Nue. You only need to dodge those fast low-densed arrows. I know it's totally doable, but my reaction isnt good enough for that.
-
Tried it a good amount of times.
Reaction time isn't good enough.
Not gonna try it until I get better.

I tried that too. Eventually I TASed a capture from up there because I was bored with no internet one day.

What about that one card from Seiga, the one where if you don't shoot down Yoshika, it begins something someone here aptly described as "Super Seiga Knife Rain" among curving lasers?

That was awesome. Except the places you managed to die with full bombs in stock :fail: But overall it's a very nice achivement. I liked the way you tricked Parsee and that Megaflare capture was so pro. Good job!
-
Thank Zun for spellcard practice.
Wild Deserted Island 1 / 6.
Wild Carpet is another story :V
-
Went from 6 continues needed, to 3, to 1, to finally a 1cc of GFW Normal. Surprised I improved so quickly after needing 6+ continues for my first 4 attempts. >_> Lucky route was A1.
-
Perfect Alice (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18873). One death on midboss nonspell, but who cares about that? The funniest part is... Well, the replay description will tell you.
-
Cleared Marine Benefits Extra with Sanae again. This time entering with 7 lives!
Captured the first survival card:
memo trivializes everything - stand in a couple of spots and you are pretty much 100% safe.
The last phase can be made super easy by starting near top right and then move straight down bit by bit, all the way to the bottom.
-
Scarlet Meister lunatic capture, after about 20 tries.
I avoided 4 waves of it in a row...almost timed it out perfectly O.O
Other captures that run were Young Demon Lord (at 125 power) and Vampire Illusion (at full power)
Got Scarlet Gensoyko down to 60 seconds perfectly too, but ended up only getting Remilia down to 1/3 health in that time.
-
EoSD Lunatic, Reimu A
Good run until the usual derps on Stage 4.
Stupid derps on Stage 5.
Overall a "I could have done a lot better" sensation.
I die at Remilia's final nonspell. On the part with the fast bubbles. First time getting there so I either I needed a slightly bigger microtap or I wasn't fast enough.
But, maaan, I can totally do this.
-
PCB Lunatic clear! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18878)
LLS, EoSD, and UFO remain... And the ones I don't care about like SoEW and PoDD.
-
I've said it on IRC but I'll say it here to. Congrats with those recent 1cc's. Oh and grats about Mushi BL Maniac too.
-
Mountain of Faith hard no vertical 1cc.
No death Stage 4, 2 death Stage 3.
What is wrong with this picture?
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18891
Also, got my IN spell capture history up to 207/222 with ghost team (I have 222 with all shot types)
Missing 10 Last Words in addition to Hourai Elixir lunatic, both Hourai Jewels and 2 of Kaguya's last spells on lunatic.
-
It's been awhile since my last visit in these sacred halls. No, it's not about the usual.
PoFV Lunatic 1cc with Youmu. Finally without the usage of overpowered characters.
3 rounds against Shikeiki so she basically let me win in the last one, pity always leads to grand victories. And I still suck at this point-system (though it is quite hard to take down bosses with Youmu thanks to the limited range of her charged shot so I've got an excuse I suppose :V).
edit
off-topic, beware: actually, I've been thinking to change my controls. I'm using an analog stick (...yeah) and I've seen the limits of that. Moving backwards or towards the left is sometimes difficult to do (as the stick is on the left half of my controller and my left thumb moves it)... so I've been thinking to go back to the keyboard. But I'm so used to using my left hand (well thumb but implies that my left hand is used to being the active one in danmaku dodging) that neither the numpad nor the direction keys are an option but I've yet to find a good and working key mapper. I probably did something wrong while using a few of them or am really bad at finding such stuff but does anybody here know a good program?

This is what I use. You should definitely be able to set up the movement keys to WASD or something similar.
-
Ah, thanks. Well duh, should've just asked MotK instead of trying shitty programs from all over the net. Sorry for bothering you then.
Works flawlessly.
Erm... achievement? Well, new mapping, made it to Stage 3 in MoF lunatic. ... ... ... Ouch. Still better than default mapping, Minoriko already did me in there. :V
Dear achievement thread, see you in a few weeks, months, years. Whenever I'm back in shape. *cue rocky-esque training sequence*
-
So in the middle of trying to time out Mountain of Faith on Easy, I somehow failed that and timed out the even harder card (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pZ-sXPNzIE) right before it.
also why is it that i always really settle into kanako's last card right AFTER dying to it
-
Let's see, while I was probated I defeated Flandre, (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18872) then I defeated Suwako a day later. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18885)

See. How productive is just to play the games you like instead of smashing your nerves over something unreasonably hard and then effuse your rage all over the place ;) Take it easy! Be happy! :yukkuri:
Oh, and congratz on double extra clear! That's some good achivement.

That is awesome. I watched your Suwako clear, and I have to say that capture of Moriya's Iron Ring was amazing. And I loved the way you settled into Mishaguji-sama.
The only real issues with it were Two Claps and One Bow (if you're consistently doing that badly I'd suggest misdirecting the streams before the card starts), and constantly collecting items in the upper right corner and then struggling to get back down (nothing wrong with using the upper center).
But seriously, congrats. First Extra clears are something to be proud of, and two in two days is just incredible.

I don't mean to bitch about your compliment, but I didn't capture Moriya's Iron Ring.
Also, I don't fail Two Claps One Bow badly all the time. I can actually do it consistently the intended way.
Also, about Long Arm and Long Leg, I don't know HOW I captured that. That was just... WOW.

You're going to do VoWG right? You've got to.
DUDE! :V I just switched from analog stick to keyboard, give me a minute. ;) Whenever I actually unlock Stage 6 for practive mode I might try it (read: probably not anytime soon in regards to my current performance; you gotta admit, that's a pretty solid excuse)... just made it to Momiji but I'm horrible at lunatic Nitori (and derpin'; dying to her first nonspell because I looked at my keyboard, panicking, "where are all my buttons?! There are so many of them! Ah there!" *pashun*), always was. Maybe because I never actually tried to learn her lunatic spellcards... Gotta take care of that first I suppose.
Aside that I'm training against Shikeiki Lunatic in Match Mode, just like good ol' times. I feel like a cute little qno from last year.

SA Hard 1CC w/ ReimuA (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18909)
rant
okay so there's this thing where I always bs against Satori
like, TERRIFYING HYPNOTISM [HARD] 2D. bull.
and then there's how the game likes trolling you with bombs when
GHOST WHEELS OF BULL [HARD] 2D when the first death was because I was sure I had bombs but I pressed the button and UHH WHERE'S MY BOMBS UHHHHH BACK OFF BULLET FUCK FUCK FUCK
and then there's when you're one life piece short of a life with no bombs and you have to capture this card to get the life piece and
it turns out to be utsuho's second-last card
and you know you can capture it despite this being your first time even getting to utsuho
and you dodge shit with shaking-as-all-hell fingers for at least a minute
and you die a few seconds before capturing it
and you end up with a death and no extra life
but you notice you have two lives to spare
and you go to subterranean sun with a smug "lets do it" attitude
and you capture the damn card
and get that flippin' life piece anyway NOT THAT IT MATTERS
and you.... 1cc
what
WHY IS THIS END MUSIC SO ANTI-CLIMACTIC I am literally ecstatic over here
screw you zun, screw you
/rant
THIS WASN'T EVEN A GOOD RUN. I panic-bombed my way through Stage 3 (I usually don't need to do that AT ALL) and lost a life to Parsee.. and the KOs mentioned above were bullshit and all and I STILL DID IT
for the same reason I got MoF
good bomb usage
I hate you, bombs.
GUESS I HAVE UFO and PoFV LEFT.
... FUCK.

Ten Desires Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18910) and Extra clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18911).
That's the last of them. It's funny though, I'm once again not playing Touhou as much (for different reasons), so I wonder just how useful this whole pet project of mine was. Oh well, at least I did get something good out of it.
-
Guys, is there something with the Vpatch or Touhou 6-9.5 that fucking hates Fraps? Someone please tell me. I don't want to make four consecutive posts in my thread about it in the Tech Support subsection (Nobody tried to help after I noted the Vpatch helping with delayed reaction time but not the general problem with the topic).
-
That was so thrilling! The music the gameplay, a few derps, but i broke 1billion in PCB extra, never felt so proud and good! motivation to play is up!

It seems some people have that problem and others don't. The best I could tell you would be to just use Hypercam 2 or something, though there are other tech-oriented threads around here.

1. *childish imitation of the action "I'm going to jam my finger down my throat to show what I would rather do"*
2. Oh god dammit guys at the very least do you have a recorder that produces high quality not-blurred video that can record at framerates higher than 60, include 60, have custom framerate alterations, I DON'T have to sync to the window of the game, and doesn't bog down my computer? I can't stand video lower than the highest standard when it comes to games that do not use much CPU at all.
Also, funny thing is, this happened right before Vsync was brought into the equation, but even if I run the game with the game's actual EXE file, Fraps still hates it.
-
Maybe there is just some problem with your computer? Like those early gen Touhous being harder for your PC to run than the newer ones. Something you won't notice when playing normally but will notice when trying to record them?
My laptop doesn't like to run EoSD very well, its got frequent dips to 50 FPS and its quite annoying. Yet, UFO and SA runs almost flawlessly. So it might just be some problem completely unrelated to your recorder.
And again, I did send a PM on the Tube but I can always record it for you.
-
My computer was able to do this completely fine before, for one. 2. SA has many more lag spikes than, say, PCB.
Also, as long as the video and audio quality aren't fucked up (And framerate), could you please record it?
I'd hate to be a picky bitch here but I don't want people thinking that I was suddenly being lazy for a day.
-
Top MoTK scores in EoSD Lunatic now done with ReimuA, MarisaA, MarisaB. Only the true final boss, 387M ReimuB by .ASP remains. It's actually pretty fun trying to make the game display big and beautiful numbers, who would've guessed.
-
Also, as long as the video and audio quality aren't fucked up (And framerate), could you please record it?
Sure, I just need a replay link.
-
Shikieiki's Extra on PoFV DONE.
:colonveeplusalpha:
-
MoF Hard 1cc! I like Kazui Clear Water, seems like a cool card to try to capture.
-
Because I'm much too tired, fighting sinus difficulties and headaches, and still just a touch keyed up, the replay link will come eventually. However, I've just beaten Mokou today, and unlocked Imperishable Shooting as well.
-
Beat Hisoutensoku Arcade Normal with Yukari. :>
-
Hisotensoku Lunatic Arcade 1cc no death clear with Yukari. Even ended the final battle with...a Train.
Also. Beat Marine benefit 6 days after getting it on Normal and Ex stage.
-
Oh, right, nothing major, but FINALLY captured Repository of Hirokawa on Normal. It took me a long time to figure out the redirection, but now I can finally say I've captured all of Yuyuko's spells. There're only 2 Normal ones left for me, but they're the not-Lunasa Stage 4 solo spells, so...Yeah, that'll probably take me a bit.

This is actually my first touhou lunatic 1CC. It went out pretty messy with lots of stupid mistakes, also i've been distracted twice and left my computer on pause at some tough places. But i cleared it without continues, so who cares. :dragonforce:
-
A first lunatic 1cc is always something worth celebrating. Congratulations.
-

Thanks. Actually i'm not feeling like celebrating right now. I've just had a goal to clear it and so i did, though any lunatic is still something beyond my skill, wich turns out in a derpy bombfest runs every time i try it. I'd better do a nice run on easier difficuly (like no bombs or something) than just bruteforce my way to clear harder one by any means. But yeah. I still feel like i've accomplished something BV
-
Ten Desires is one of the harder lunatics. Even EoSD is easier than it IMO, I've 1cced EoSD lunatic but haven't even reached Seiga in a TD lunatic attempt.

Completely serious. Just now, tried again, game overed literally right before Seiga shows up.
Best try yet >.>
I'm more likely to beat SA lunatic than TD.
-
Watch replays for trance routes.
Probably the only and best tip available.
Also I would probably say that EoSD Lunatic is easy compared to others. Testament to this is how I almost got it already. :V
-

You and MewKyuu are the only ones i've heard this from :) Seiga is actually one of the most disappointingly easy stage 4 bosses of all times. Much easier than Patchy. I've even perfected her fight on lunatic once. Meanwhile i've never even bothered to play EoSD even on hard (not to speak of lunatic), it scares me. :o Though since i've seriously played EoSD last time my skill might be grown enough to try it, but no, thanks. Ten Desires gives you fewer lives but tons of bombs + trance, wich is complete cheat against your enemies, especially if you play as Marisa.
Actually the most problems i've got in my runs were caused by Miko and Yoshika.
Watch replays for trance routes.
Probably the only and best tip available.
This or build your own ones. Well, in my 1CC i screwed most of my routes pretty hard. That was kinda run where almost everything that could go wrong went wrong. :fail: But knowing the places that guaranteed give you tons of spirits is the key for surviving. Also it's better to preemptionaly bomb boss's attack point blank if you're not sure you can dodge it and you'll need some trance soon.
-
Seiga is easy from what I've faced (I continue spammed through lunatic to unlock everything in Spell Practice), Futo isn't that hard either.
No, the one boss that utterly destroys me no matter what I do is...Kyouko.
Yoshika i can get through with 2-3 resources expended consistently.
Kyouko takes 4-5 across both appearances.
Miko...I'll be fine if I get to Stage 6 with 1 life and a couple bombs.
The hard part is getting there, by not dying horribly to Kyouko and not derping horribly on the stage parts (especially that of 4)
I can get through the stage parts of 1, 2 and 3 pretty consistently now at least thanks to Youmu.
Watch replays for trance routes.
key word: watch. I don't get stuff by seeing it, I get stuff by :wikipedia:

Lunatic Kyouko boss is a matter of 2 bombs + 1 trance (well i bombed 3rd time to get some trance for stage 3), at least with Marisa. See my run. Screwing the routes began on stage 3 >_<
And i cant play as Youmu at all.
-
Where are the bombs and trance placed?
For me I bomb the midboss spell, and then pray that I don't do something stupid on the boss. The only I got so far this run is because I deathbombed twice.
First nonspell: bomb
First spell:usually capture but deathbomb
Second nonspell: bomb
2nd spell: usually bomb but capture
3rd spell: usually capture but death

Second nonspell: bomb
2nd spell: usually bomb but capture
3rd spell: usually capture but death
I wish to improve my performance on Kyouko so i can face stage 3 (wich always was kinda rubicon for me) with moar bombs in stock, but as for now i do as follows:
Midboss nonspell - bomb.
Midboss spell - capture, but farm a full trance right before it just in case.
Boss 1 nonspell - bomb.
1 spell - capture. It's easy even on lunatic. (i restart if i fail it for some reason)
2 nonspell - bomb. I usually get full trance here but if not...
2 spell - do as much damage till bubbles come then trance. If i havent got full trance yet - farm spirits point blank. Works all the time.
3 spell - "capture" (actually fail due to trance leftover) or bomb to get some trance for stage 3.
Using this route i enter stage 3 with 1 bomb and ~1,5 trance, but it would be much better if i learned how to surely dodge Kyouko's nonspells.
And all this adviced considering using Marisa. Doesnt work with Reimu cause of her poor trance power and lower spirit farming rate. Cant say anything about Youmu, cause havent played as her for real, but she might be even more effective than Marisa.
-
Youmu has the same trance damage and higher standard damage, but it's harder to get.
bomb the nonspells, trance the second spell near the end. Got it.
My main issue is I forget I have trance during bosses and die with full.
Also, Ghost team captures of:
Fantasy Heaven (no focus)
Blazing Star (no focus)
Saigyouji Flawless nirvana (with actual dodging as opposed to sit there and pray)
Half past 4 (Kaguya's 4th last spell on lunatic, in 2 tries)
211/222 with Ghost Team. Still need a bunch of hard stuff though.
-
Which cards are you missing?
-
So I timed out Four of a Kind (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWn9lMwd7TY).
And I also timed out Catadioptric (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDJFOmfaPMk).
And did I mention I got both of these in the SAME RUN?

midboss spell: you can capture this even if you sit right below Kyouko. It's pretty static anyways.
First spell: move to the corner when the wave blasts out. It's nothing more than that.
Third spell: misdirect the giant bubble of bullets to one of the corners and move to the other side to dodge, otherwise it becomes unreasonably dense. Yes, this means you have to redirect the first wave, and if you forget, bomb.
The nonspells I can't really do very well either and I usually have to bomb at least 2 of them (well, I'm fine moving outside of the reflecting box on the midboss spell, although that risks taking too long). The second spell is freaking hard.
I would agree that people do overblow the easiness of TD lunatic. It's NOT that easy, due to the low number of lives (even lower than EoSD!), which means way less margin for error.
-
FUCK YOU Wonderful! You're awful good at fighting games, aren'tcha?
EH so-so. It helps that one of the people I play against at my college wrecks with Patchy. I can clean up good with Yukari, Marisa, Youmu and Tenshi.
-
I once had a replay desynch in 12.3. I was Patchy, but I forget what the AI was. The impotant thing is Patchy still won in the desyched replay. Comfortably.
It sounds like you people talking about TD let Kyouku's nonspells push you around too much. You can beat them by just being really cowardly, or just memo because I'm pretty sure they're static.

Midboss's one is static, boss's ones are actually aimed at your position when wave starts and then static, but i still can't read the pattern on lunatic speed, so i'd better bomb'em.

Well, maybe i was just lucky with deathbombing/deathtrancing then. :)

Which cards are you missing?
Hourai Elixir lunatic, Hourai Jewel hard+lunatic, lunatic Kaguay's 3rd last spell,
Wriggle's, Mokou's, ExKeine's, Youmu's, Alice's, Remilia's and Yukari's last words.
All of which are captured with another shot type.
-
So I started up Hisoutensoku and played as Patchy against Lunatic Meiling. I closed my eyes and pressed buttons randomly and won both matches. My health never even fell below 50%.
I used to joke that the game could be played this way, but... I guess I wasn't joking after all.
-
Peerless Wind God [Lunatic] cap! Also happened on a full run, which makes it double cool 8).

At this rate I might become as good as Kefit or possibly Naut by the end of the year.

Aim for me instead of Kefit. We wouldn't want you unable to dodge UFO patterns right? :V

>attempts MB Lunatic
>gets as far as 8 Million Laughing Gods
>hmm, not bad for very first MB Lunatic attempt
-
I randomly felt like playing some Ten Desires while watching a movie at the same time, so I opened up Extra with Marisa. I somehow managed to nearly ace the stage and ended up at Mamizou with 3 lives and 8/10 of the 4th and only used two bombs, one to clear Skyfish and one to get rid of the spam fairies after Nue. This gave me enough resources to finally see her 8th transformation where she chases you around as Reimu. It's not a 1CC yet, but it's the farthest I've gotten, so that's some progress at least! The horizontal spellcard before it is my downfall most of the time.
-
Got my Ghost Team captured rate up to 217/222.
Still need Hourai Elixir, Hourai Jewel, Youmu's, Alice's and Remilia's last words (captured originally with Border Team, Yukari, Border Team, Remilia and Yukari, respectively)
Total Purification took 1 try.

Netherworld Team Ancient Duper 90FPS Capture (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18937)

(http://puu.sh/hDgn)
-
(http://i407.photobucket.com/albums/pp152/Allosawyou/Emerald%2018%20Random/wat.png)
The run itself was nothing special, it was a 6CC, albeit, my 3rd attempt ever. So I guess that's an acheivement. Especially since most of my lost lives were in spells that had changed. [Yoshika's last spell ._. I died 4 times. Curvy Lasers... so many curves.]
What I don't get is how I captured Miko's two hardest spells, and failed her easiest. ._.
-
3 miss no shooting UFO Stage 2. Two of those were on Kogasa's first non-spell in her battle. :V
Turns out that sitting on her legs isn't really that hard to pull off. As in, its piss easy. I do need to keep an eye on her movements though so she doesn't bump into me. The second death was like that. As the card ended she was about to get in position to do PSM and she rammed me as she did so. As for PSM, its pretty easy to pacify like this. Impossible to do otherwise probably. Third death was on the final spellcard just in the beginning and it was a really dumb one too.
I guess I should make it my goal to do a no-miss pacifist run of UFO stage 2. However, if I get rammed once by Kogasa on the opener I'm gonna leave that as acceptable. The fun part is the two other spellcards anyway.
EDIT: Okay and a 1-miss no shooting Kyouko battle. I figured I'd give her a go since there isn't really anything wrong with her. Most be because she's on Byakuren's payroll. I died on the second non-spell of hers. Pacified everything else. Right now I'm still trying to figure out what the heck ZUN was trying to accomplish with the first spellcard but the others are still pretty cool.
-
Scarlet Destiny capture with Ghost Team.
Also got Hourai Elixir to 5 and 4 seconds on 2 consecutive runs, and managed 5 successful Hourai Jewel reversals.
It's a shame, I forgot how to do most of these cards.
(Alice's Last Word...memotrash)
Ok, 3 to go: Phantom of the Grand Guignol, Hourai Elixir and Hourai Jewel.
Because Youmu's Last Word is easier than I remember it, and by that I mean easier than it was last night.
-
Breezed through DS stage 7-3 to stage 7-6 and cleared 7-7 by freak accident. I accidentally hit the photo button out of panic and somehow got Shou in the picture.
I stood there flabbergasted for ten minutes.
-
On the subject of the Lunatic difficulty above, can someone point me to the easiest one?
Also > 200m+ on MoF lunatic
yay (?)
Aya is killing the shit out of me though
-
Mystic Square is probably the easiest. Yumeko will rape you, but you can easily no-miss to Yuki/Mai in it, and then Shinki's kind of a pushover for a Lunatic final. Aside from that they're all relatively similar in difficulty, save for UFO.
-
Yeah what he meant to say was PCB and TD obviously. IN and LLS aren't too bad either.
Though he is probably right about MS. It doesn't seem too terribly hard outside of some of the more infamous spots.
-
Yeah what he meant to say was PCB and TD obviously. IN and LLS aren't too bad either.
PCB is easy.
IN is easy.
MoF is easiest lunatic.
TD is third hardest, 4th if GFW is being counted.
-
I suppose I should have noted that I only have the skill to get to stage 5 of MoF and PCB lunatic *shrug
If I get as far as Stage 6, I'll let you know :V
I have so many almost-1CCs on Hard that it makes me want to pull hair.
Kanako's final on Hard
Yuyuko's final on Hard, down to 04 seconds on RB50%
Remilia's stage on Hard
I haven't tried TD Hard yet, only Lunatic. I got to Seiga on my last try. What fun that was! :colonveeplusalpha:
-
Yuyuko's final on Hard, down to 04 seconds on RB50%
Now that you mention it, just got my first 1cc of PCB Hard with no lives, no bombs and a broken border at 4 seconds of Resurrection Butterfly. Sorry. >_>
Still amazed I played so well in parts. Usually stage 4 takes at least 2 lives, I managed to do it without dying once.
-
On the subject of the Lunatic difficulty above, can someone point me to the easiest one?
I'm gonna say LLS, MS, or IN.
LLs for resource overload.
MS because perfecting up to stage 4 or 5 is pretty much the usual.
IN for unfathomable resource overload. In fact I think IN is easiest. ZUN even forgot to include a stage 5
-
IN Stage 5 only has a few tough things. Specifically Tewi and probably 1-2 Reisen attacks.
Most of the stage part is either safespotting, misdirecting, or streaming.
Also, SA is easy if you spam ReimuC Bombs. Mystic Square is actually kind of hard cause you have yumeko, Shinki, Yuki and Mai, and a few other troublesome spots.
And PCB is supposed to be easy, but I don't really see it. Sure, you can use SakuyaB bombs(for teh score) or SakuyA Bombs for more easiness, but the patterns can easily screw with you if you suck at all the crisscrossing bullets like I do.
-
Well derp derp derp Jonathan, good show.
I just cleared 7-1 a second time. :D
-
My order from easiest to hardest:
EoSD (resources and Reimu shotgunning makes it easy, RNG can give people a hard time though)
MS (The first three stages are trivial)
IN (Easiest Stage 5, lots of resources but Kaguya and Stage 4 can be hard)
PCB (Youmu is a little tough, same for Alice, the Prismrivers vary drastically depending on the shot type)
MoF (Stage 4 but you get a lot of resources for the trouble spots)
TD (you have to learn the spirit routes if you want to get enough resources and the patterns aren't THAT easy either)
SA
UFO
-
I'm usually a Normal-modo player, but I decided to try out IN's Hard Mode for the first time (albeit with full lives stock) and managed to make it all the way to Kaguya's Dragon's Jewel Request. Not bad for a first outing. Clearing various extra modes is definitely helping out.
-
I just cleared 7-1 a second time. :D
See? I knew you could do it.
TD (you have to learn the spirit routes if you want to get enough resources and the patterns aren't THAT easy either)
The patterns being hard or not is of course a very subjective matter and I can understand if people find them to be hard but I can't understand how having to learn 'a spirit route' is hard. I don't even know what you mean with spirit route. Just kill everything in the stages, memorize when there is coming enemies that drops resource spirits and trance them.
-
I've barely cleared MoF hard, ending 1/2 And only a few of my lunatic attempts got it past stage 2. Meanwhile i've cleared TD lunatic and hard no bombs. I know MoF is easy if you abuse that ammount of bombs it gives you, but that's not the style of play i like. As for EoSD, i've tried main game only on normal. Yeah it gives you 1 extend more than TD and you dont need to work hard to get lives, but it's rather greedy in terms of bombs compared to TD. Also Patchouli and Remilia are much harder than Seiga nd Miko, and you have no ten_seconds_of_invulnerability on your c button.

I timed out Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana on ultra mode today. I originally tought of this as impossible, but here am I again, finding out that it was possible after all. I feel like celebrating a bit now.

That's just SICK dude! You are awesome!!!

I'd love to be able to watch it, but the replay desyncs for me and shows you dying to the first wave.

Ugh another round of SA lunatic, still got up to Orin, an achievement, but need to focus much more to complete it!

Well, in EoSD/MoF/IN/PCB you can get all the extends/bombs without previous memorization since they have low score/point items requirements (and in SA you just have to dodge things) but in TD you have to remember where to use your trance and how to get enough of it to obtain all the spirits if you want to get all of the extends, thus you need a previously planned route.

I can't watch it either, I guess because I don't have the ultra patch. You should totally put it on youtube anyway.

But the "route" for trancing is really just as simple as knowing when the right enemies appear and then pressing the trance button. Any of the other games would also encourage you to have paths and bomb routes just because it's helpful to have them, so TD isn't much different in that respect. PCB in particular could probably get pretty nitty-gritty if you wanted to plan your borders, which means dropping bombs at precise times and knowing how much cherry you get from stuff so you don't pick up too much. In TD you can't "overcharge" your trance gauge like that.

Yeah. But trance is actually what makes this game easier. Try to play without it and it becomes as hard as most touhou lunatics, cause you now granted 3 (maximum 4) extends and much fewer bombs than usual. But still, overall difficulty curve is not that rigid in TD.

Here it is (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrrQWkI_mlk).
And yes, I believe that you need to have the Ultra patch in order to watch the replay.
However, my FRAPS didn't seem to exactly love the fact that IN ultra was spamming several hunderds of bullets for it to record, so it kind of felt rather ruggy while I was making the video, making the fps lag a bit. It's nothing horrible, since I could fix most of it by recording in windowed mode, but it still is a bit rough. I hope it won't matter much.
-
I'm honestly a bit surprised that the Ultra patch didn't completely fuck that spell up. Well, congrats on it anyway. Simply doing the normal version is tough enough so you deserve quite some credit.

Blind Nightbird Timeout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfseZKt8CR8)
Feels like I'm starting to play Tuhu again. I did this because I seem to recall reading that it is "impossible." It certainly isn't impossible; it's not even unfair, you just need to have a feel for the hitboxes.
Now somebody do a no-focus Youmu timeout.
-
Who said it was impossible?
-
Now somebody do a no-focus Youmu timeout.
And you should try it on 90 fps :p
-
No one ever said it was impossible.
It is stupidly hard though since you don't know where the densest parts of the patterns are at due to the darkness.
I legitimately got walled by it so many times and gave up on it cause I couldn't predict where they'd be.
-
Who said it was impossible?
I don't remember who said it, but whoever it was didn't know what they were talking about. It was probably a derpy youtube comment somewhere. :]
And you should try it on 90 fps :p
I just might, after EoSD.

FUCK YES I JUST TIMED OUT RED MAGIC. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es-mNlXbO8I)
Constantly re-fighting Remilia after every failure at this was getting REALLY tedious.
-
Guys, for my DS videos, I just had a great idea.
Basically, here's my idea: I either, for each card, I put the owner's theme in or a remix of it in instead of the actual music because 1. DS' soundtrack isn't that good, and 2. I think it'd fit more.

I have the VPatch, and I usually have it fixed.
But for the purposes of fulfilling your 'now do it with Marisa' (first time anyone's actually told me to do that), it passes.

I was actually serious. Watching your Reimu run i imagined how fun it could be with Marisa C and her familiars. :3 And i'm sure with your level of skill it's totally doable.
Watched Marisa B(ug) replay though. Those deaths were so facepalming. With the "power of love" you should totally try to do it no deaths too just for lulz :] Also this reminded me of my first MoF extra clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16894). That was silly, but fun.
-
small accomplishment here, I got a ND2B Easy clear with Remilia. deathbombed during Reimu's 4th spell, bombed normally on Kaguya's third nonspell, and failed her second and fifth Last Spells. I guess it's alright.

It's all well and good that you are playing non-Touhou shmups but you should take your achievements in them over to the STG thread located at Akyu's Arcade.

Almost perfected Stage 4 of SA, but I screwed up Flying Insect's Nest (Ha ha ha). This is all much easier than I remember. I'll have to perfect the stage now; then 5 and Extra will be all that remain in SA (which is equivalent to 5). My childhood dreams are being realized.
-
Stage 5 suck but good luck with Stage 4.
-
First clear of Imperishable Night Extra stage ends up netting me 1.45 Billion points. I made it to the end with four lives remaining (three stars) but died on the first ring of Imperishable Shooting (lol). Had I not screwed up on Fujiyama Volcano, I probably would have had another life and bomb too, which is depressing because I just solidified my strategy for Fujiyama Volcano last night and had three capture in a row during spell practice. Quite proud of the run, overall. Here's a replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19006).

Blargh.
I have no name has reminded me that I used to love Nue's fight because of how good I am at it.
So I went for a no bombs Extra UFO Sanae B run.
And, like,
1 clumsy stage death.
3 deaths to her follow-me black clouds spell. I know I'm bad at this one but whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.
2 deaths to Grudge Bow. GG.
Everything else was oh, so perfect. It was my first time capping Rainbow UFOs and her survival (it HAS been a while since I last played through the stage). I think my score was around 260 Mil, without any Blue UFOs activated.
O Nue, why do you do these things?
I think I just spaced out on Grudge Bow or something. I KNOW I can cap it with my skill level but it still has a lasting effect and... gah. I know those deaths shouldn't have happened, it's saddening.
-
asdfasdfasgfasdfasfasd
Death at Kogasa's SUPER SPECIAL LASER SPELL which sucks.
Death at Nue's first spell uhhh what??
Death at Green UFOs... uh, just no.
Death at survival's last seconds... meh.
Death at Grudge Bow's first stage.
I was about to drop dead. No, really.
Then final death on the fourth stage... only a few seconds before ending the card.
...
Don't make me hate you, Nue. Don't do it.
Oh yeah, this means I capped Rainbow UFOs again, as well as the stupid black cloud spell that cost me the run just half an hour ago. -__________-

Uhuhu, captured all Stage 4A lunatic cards of IN ultra. I think that's enough silliness for today. Now, let's see if I'm able to combine these into a video.
-
I reached Remilia in EoSD 90fps. I think there were more than 5 unused bombs in that run, and a few others that could have been avoided (lasers in stage 4, ugh). This may be possible. If I could improve on Sakuya's nonspells that would make a world of difference.

Now, go challenge TD or smthing.

Keep in mind that was my 5th IN lunatic 1cc, but my first without starting with max lives.
Now, go challenge TD or smthing.
but TD is so HARD
I'm going to clear PCB and maybe EoSD lunatic with default starting lives next, THEN maybe I'll consider TD.
Probably gonna finish my all extras all shot types project first though (2 to go!)

Are you playing without autobombs?
-
So after playing 90FPS for a little while, I figured trying UFO would be a good idea. Maybe now that everything seems so slow, it won't be utterly infuriating.
I was wrong. Still the greatest avoidable cause of fucking RAAAAGE.
So why am I posting about it here? Because in a 1CC attempt, and with no practice or expectation of doing so, I perfected Murasa. Oh, and I wasn't even using Reimu.

Are you playing without autobombs?
Yes. Autobombs would be cheating. :P

TD Stage 5 Lunatic perfect run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19043)
Finally, something TD-related that I can feel happy about. There's still a good level of satisfaction to be had from going through all of Futo perfectly, especially after nailing the end of the stage portion. Too bad that's about as good as it gets from this game, which saddens me once again. ::)
-
So, somehow I just 1cc PoFV on hard by using Mystia and going into stage 9 with 3 lives to throw away. I don't know why, but I always score 2x higher with her than anyone else, allowing me to fly by on de-ranking the last stages. Meanwhile, I still can't beat normal with 75% of the characters. This game never feels fair.

The pattern is not as fucked up as Event Horizon's is, but it needs a fair amount of luck to capture.

Finally got a new SA Lunatic 1cc, this one gained 400+ million over the last one, landing at over 1,245,272,950 total score! :D
Looking at the scoreboard, this improvement took me 1 month. I wonder what kind of improvement I'd be looking at in another month working on this? I guess the easy gains are already done, but I usually have over 9000 graze after Yuugi, this time I only had 7000. Many items were picked up at below max value too. It may be worth to keep improving this.

Once again, what influences end bonus in SA
Lives left, I think.
Well, I think I've done enough IN Ultra for today. The stage 4B Spell Cards are on youtube, so you can go there if you wish to see them.
I also started my new mission, which was to capture all of the lunatic Spell Cards from the finals. Or, at least the humanly possible ones. Not counting last spells, I'm halfway done now, having six out of twelve captured. They are:
Spacesphere "Earth in a Pot" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19068)
Resurrection "Game of Rising" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19065)
Mind of God "Omoikane's Brain" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19066)
Medicine Sign "Galaxy in a Pot" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19064)

Divine Treasure "Salamander Shield" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19062)
The rest remain... and most of those I am unsure if they're humanly possible or not. Only time will tell, I guess.

So i've 1CCd Ten Desires normal ultra (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElWaAAwn-_E) today. I dont count this as an accomplishment, cause i did it on a first try and failed a lot. I used autobombs but that didnt helped me to make it a no deaths run OTL But still this was much more fun than original normal! I encourage everyone who's done with normal to try it before hard ;)
And yeah. Ultra hard is pretty nuts. Not sure if i can do it without continues >_<

OMG, i did it with 300+@ attempt and result is it
-
In honor of the thread's title, or something: first ever no death/no bomb game... on EoSD's 5-stage Easy mode. It's a start anyway.
ETA: And in the more-real accomplishments section, I somehow just 1cc'd Hard LLS on my first attempt ever. That must be the most gentle difficulty change from Normal in any game, I barely noticed a difference.
-
EoSD game over on Star of David. Not too unhappy with the run since it was my first full EoSD run since my 1cc....1.5 years ago now? So basically I did half the game off memory and half blind. :derp:
Highlights included a 1D1B Patchy fight and capturing both Sakuya's opener and 1st card, and not dying somehow on stage 6 when I screwed up the circle fairies. Lowlights included a 1D4B Meiling, dying 3 times with bombs and somehow timing out Misdirection. :persona:
-
I got to Mamizou with basically max resources [4 bombs and almost 4 lifes, used no Bombs, Tranced on Skyfish to increase spirit count from Nue, Tranced at the end of the stage].
Unfortunetly I failed hard against Mamizou that run, gameovering on her 5th nonspell. I have no clue why her nonspells got me that run, especially the first one ._.
-
Yay, I overcame the insurmountable and captured Blazing Wheel at full power with Reimu C! I had a whole second to spare before the timer would have run out at the end.
Spells that are harder at full power: Tongue-Cut Sparrow, Criminals' Irremovable Shackles, Storm on Mt. Ooe, Vengeful Cat Spirit, and Blazing Wheel.
-edit-
Managed to no miss/bomb/shot/focus time out all Yuugi's non spells except the last one (but including the midboss ones) with Reimu C on Lunatic :V
-
I'd face you if I knew how. :derp:
Come on IRC more >:I
-
Spells that are harder at full power: Tongue-Cut Sparrow, Criminals' Irremovable Shackles, Storm on Mt. Ooe, Vengeful Cat Spirit, and Blazing Wheel.
I'm not sure I understand. Being at slightly less than full Power doesn't change how ReimuC's options rotate when unfocused, which would be what makes the last three cards you listed harder. For the other two you'd have to rotate your options slightly or briefly stop shooting altogether to avoid hitting what you don't want to.
-
The main 'card' shots deal less damage at 4 power than 3. So, ReimuC actually kills things faster at 3 power.
-
Come on IRC more >:I
But it's confusing and frightening and bears, oh my!
Ok I'll do it.

Doesn't your default shot actually weaken as you gain power? I thought that's what he meant. I know there's not much difficulty in capturing Blazing Wheel when you're at zero power, for instance. (IIRC)
EDIT: No Name beat me to it. So yeah, that seems right.
-
Yay! First legit Normal 1CC of Mountain of Faith (not counting MarisaB(ugged)) using ReimuA. I managed to keep bombing to a minimum and paid for it with lives, clearing the "Mountain of Faith" spell with only 4.00 power left and no lives (would have captured it except I misjudged one of the cyan spreads of amulets and panic-bombed through it.
-
Excellent work!
Good luck beating down the Extra!
-
PCB Normal 1CC at 90FPS. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19088)
Made a bunch of stupid mistakes, but capturing Alice's last two spells back to back at 90FPS looks pro. Also managed to 1d2b Merlin's opener, which is actually an achievement because fuck that thing even at 60FPS.

I thought that was everyone.

Yeah, that attack is a serious motherfucker. Much harder than any of the other sets of openers that are available even though Lunasa (she's the one Reimu faces right?) are approaching it though.

...Oh, I'm thinking of Merlin. Sorry. If Lunasa's the black one, PFFT. If she's the red one, retain my opinion.
I usually play as Sakuya but I like to dabble into Reimu and Marisa.
-

Sakuya faces Merlin (blue/white), Marisa faces Lyrica (red), and Reimu faces Lunasa (black), so yeah.
Well, thanks to my right key's rubber cap being torn, I have to play with a sticking right key now. And it cost me yet another death while grazing Mokou's opener. :V
-
It's been a long time since I posted in this thread. :V
Played a few credits, PCB Ultra 1cc with ReimuB, clearing 2/1 and with a hilarious amount of crazy/dumb stuff because I forgot how all the stages go and such. Vid shortly. Might try 90fps Lunatic next.
-
After dying to Test Slave more than once, I make it past, then play awesomely to eventually die at Super Perseid. Also captured Shoot the Little Moon and Grand Cross for the first time.
I wish GFW had Spell Practice, because Open Universe is fun. <_<

TD Stage 4 Lunatic perfect run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19091)

Ugh. Score Desire Eater is so clipdeath-prone. I feel your pain. Congrats on the Perfect Stage 4. Best I've done was a 1D1B Lunatic Stage 4 so far.

Isn't that card basically the same across all difficulties? The only difference that I recall is that higher difficulties throw more orbs at you. Doesn't affect the approach much though.

Sapz putting up a Touhou video... Expect the locusts to show up anytime now. ;)
I look forward to seeing the new version of that patch. Last i tried, Yuyuko's final card became complete non-sense.
-

I think so, though the lower difficulties leave much more room for mistakes or don't require an actual understanding of the Spellcard. Not sure if skill is actually related, more a matter of knowing what to do.
-
It requires no understanding on any difficulty. Its so simple that anyone would be able to figure out what they are doing on their first try. If they don't, then they'll probably get it within a few more attempts.
I don't even think that the lower difficulties offer that much more room for 'errors', it's just less bullets that follows you. You die no matter what happens if they catch up to you. It doesn't somehow make it harder just because there are more of them. If they came from different directions then maybe but not as it is now. Not even a stage 1 boss would take this card into their deck.

There are actually situations in which you definitely are screwed if you're approaching the Spellcard the wrong way; for instance, orbs on your left, streams lean strongly towards the left. Figuring out which position is optimal in all situations is the key to the Spellcard; it's definitely easy once you fully understand it, but before that it can be easy or put you into one of the situations where you actually need a strategy. Granted, those situations don't occur all the time, but I think it would be an overstatement to say that it requires no understanding at all.
That being said, maybe I'm just dumb for actually taking a few attempts to figure out an optimal approach (which you inadvertently implied, but that's okay!), but getting things quickly isn't exactly one of my strong points anyway.
-
Fair enough then. ;)

1D2B Normal Kanako 90fps (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19095)
Bomb #1 on the opener, bomb #2 on the third spell (the knives spell), death on Mountain of Faith.
OK, this was a thing. A capture of clip porridge & rainbow rape and 1D Mountain of Faith.
PLEASE let this happen when it counts.
...
It's good knowing that the only thing stopping me from capping the thing is my inability to control Reimu.
Might also add itp that I capped all of Aya's spells but her first (yes, Illusionary Dominance included) and capped all of Sanae's spells. I actually had quite a few ND1B Sanae runs!
-
Someone tell me capping Seiga's midboss card on Lunatic on my first try is an achievement? ._.
I actually found it easier than hard version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_profilepage&v=GXFN5Lqw6pE#t=63s) due to walls of bullets flying offscreen faster.

Same shit here. I may do something awesome on 90 fps in practice mode, but fail completely in a long run.

I timed out Keine's Last Word. The familiars disappear after a while. You can imagine what that's like. :)

Yeah, it becomes the most amazing thing ever.

MoF Normal 1cc 90fps (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19102)
I noticed this wasn't going to take a lot of effort to achieve: I had gotten to Kanako plenty of times and lost lives in the most dumb ways possible, such as losing 3 lives within 5 seconds and other fun times. I was kind of grateful for this, however, since none of those runs were great. My great runs were usually ruined by dumb mistakes during the late stages while my bad runs would reach Mountain of Faith easily, which I was getting angry about.
But I managed to 1cc with a passable run in the end, which is... passable.
I was kind of psyduck.png during Stage 5 because I had low power for the first time and the homing bullets were weak / nonexistant. Other than that, some weird deaths on stages that never happened before, such as in late-Stage 5 and late-Stage 4. Still, this run is redeemed by some very nice moments, such as: perfect Nitori, a capture of Aya's first spell for the first time, a capture of Illusionary Dominance (behold the amazing delayed panic-bomb a microsecond after the spell ends) and passable dodges on Mountain of Faith. :)

Now add Tewi's, Reisen's, and Eirin's Last words to the list.
Only Remi's, Alice's, EX Keine's and Wriggle's remain to be timed out. I guess I'll just do them all soon.
-
I managed to capture Kanako's first Nonspell on Lunatic for the first and probably last time.

Last evening i launched Ten Desires ultra, went into spell practice and made a couple of lunatic captures and timeouts (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk72J8MbbU8) :*

PoFV 90FPS Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19114)
Done as cheesy Medicine Melancholy. After trying to 1cc as Lyrica I have found that the game will invariably crash when I reach Shikieiki. I might be able to do it as Yuuka or some other character, but I'll have to experiment. (I have high hopes for Tewi.) This run at least wasn't a total cheese fest, and there some nice dodges, particularly against Eiki, so I'm proud of what I got for now.
Also this solidifies PoFV's position as my favorite Touhou game. It's even better than PoDD at this speed.
-
So I just randomly typed into my IRC chatroom "brb, going to clear 90fps pcb extra again"...and did so without a single restart. 1 life 4 bombs to spare. I love how natural this is getting for me. When I look at my perfect PCB extra it seems so slow.
(As for the actual run, pretty meh overall, but I managed to cap the last phase of Kokkuri-san's Contract, and 1D0B0BB Izuna Gongen.)
Looking back it's hard to believe I ever viewed a simple clear of PCB Extra as a personal achievement...but I think that, right there, is the achievement.
EDIT: Okay, so now I have a "real" achievement. 90FPS MoF Extra clear. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19116) Yay! :D
-
It's really pretty trivial and easy, but I managed to capture Apollo 13 and Astronomical Entombing Easy Modo with solo Marisa no-focus, no-bomb. Sadly, it was during a continue just to practice solo-running, so there's no replay. Too bad I won't be taking ending A route any time soon for score running.
-
just to practice solo-running
Why would you need to practice solo-running? It just means that you either always have to or never can destroy familiars and how you get time points, exceptions to time points with Youmu.
-
Because diversity is fun! ^^
My achievements:
More progress on my Youmu solo Capture ALL the Cards Challenge of IN, including a quick capture of Keine's LW, some more LWs, 2 of Eirin's Lunatic spells, 3 of Reimu's and 2 of Reisen's. Also randomly decided to do STage 5 of IN Lunatic for no reason, and captured Tewi's 1st nonspell :OOOOO
And my first TD 1cc of Normal, with Reimu. Man, Sanae really IS bad... ;;
And on my first Extra run of TD, I got to Mamizou's 4th nonspell...
Is that bad D:
-
And on my first Extra run of TD, I got to Mamizou's 4th nonspell...
Is that bad D:
Going in blind? I doubt I even made it to Nue in my first run of the stage. So no, it's not bad at all.
-
Why would you need to practice solo-running? It just means that you either always have to or never can destroy familiars and how you get time points, exceptions to time points with Youmu.
Mostly route-planning to get as many time points as possible. I memorize where most of the familiar-spawning fairies are and find ways to avoid killing the familiars but hit the fairies themselves so I can get even more time points. This usually requires me to either get right up beneath the fairy and let the familiars swirl around me while I shoot or looping around the fairy in the style of MoF Extra to avoid shots and leave some familiars alive. The other reason that I forgot to mention is that the run is no-focus, no-bomb, so it pays to at least practice stages 4, 5, and 6 since those give me the most trouble. In fact, the WORST attack for me by far is Reimu's original nonspell, the one with TONS of yin-yang familiars. The high saturation of familiars means I can't farm any time orbs, so it's mostly just dodging for my life between waves of orbs while I try to dispel the attack as soon as possible, and I almost always lose at least one life since I can't bomb it either.
-
Going in blind? I doubt I even made it to Nue in my first run of the stage. So no, it's not bad at all.
Whut?
-
Well there are those big fairies in the corners. If you don't know they're coming they can flood the screen with walls, and I probably would try to dodge rather than bomb. Then all that aimed stuff right before Nue can get you if you don't know what you're doing. I think it's unexpected enough to cause a few dumb deaths your first time going in, a least. :blush:
How far did you get on your first try, if you happen to remember?
-
While that question wasn't directed at me, I'll just chirp in that I used the following technique for those fairies (on every attempt so far):
1. Kill one successfully
2. Number 2 and 3 force bomb
3. I might die here
:V
-
I think that Zengeku uses SanaeB, so that would make the stage portion way easier
Mini-accomplishment: Half asleep Imperishable Shooting capture, my record was 1/164 and i managed to do it on my first try
-
There's only one Sanae in TD. When I said Nue I meant midboss Nue. ;)
And you made me look up my record on Imperishable Shooting. It's 4/2245 with Remilia solo. :D
Oh, and here's some hot PoFV action (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVNRsjkPkEY) for anyone who's interested.

Oh i thought that you guys were talking about UFO, my bad

Oh, and here's some hot PoFV action (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVNRsjkPkEY) for anyone who's interested.
I am watching Cirno fight Reisen over the Misty Lake while listening to Reisen's theme. At 90 fps. Yeah, this funnily reminds me of a specific strategy game I used to play.
IRC chatroom
Which channels and servers do you use, and under what nickname? I don't think I have seen you on the Touhou and/or shmup releated IRC-channels I use.
Achievementwise, I'm afraid I don't have much to post, since I haven't done anything great lately. I did beat Phantasm on ultra, three times, but the autobombs made it probably a lot easier than clearing the normal version would be. I really should get into clearing that without the autbomb patch, but I'm sadly not going to ever success in that if I'm supposed to do it in a live run. Oh well, we'll see.

I got somewhere around Exorcism of the Stupid Shrine Maiden or whatever that card where she cosplays as Reimu is called. I remember this because that was the spells I unlocked for spell practice which I then proceeded to learn after which I beat the stage.
Those guys right in the start, yeah I guess you have to know what you are doing for part of those but the rest of the stage didn't require anything from me. And I know aimed bullets when I see them so I managed it pretty well. :V I don't remember if i perfected that part though. Maybe I tranced it.
-
holy what
My very first attempt at IN Extra 90FPS, without even so much as Spell Practice or a restart, and I don't just get a clear, I do good enough to see Imperishable Shooting.
Some of the notable cards captured? And bear in mind, this is 90FPS I'm talking about here:
-2/3 Keine's cards (missed the third)
-Ihakasa's Moon Curse
-Phoenix's Tail
-HOLLOW GIANT FUCKING WOO
Yeah, I can't even believe it.
Oh, and this is on the tail of an IN Hard 1CC just moments before, though that was at 60FPS. My first ever IN Hard 1CC.

Of course it had. Marisa sucks big time. Like she always does.
Now if you'll excuse me, i need to get this place barricaded before angry curling players invade my home. :trollface:

Mountain of Faith ReimuB Hard 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19129)
This is incredible to me. The following achievements were gained in this run:
- No Death run up until Aya
- Seven lives upon leaving Aya
- *Look like you know what you're doing
- End the game with at least double what you started with
- High fucking score out the ass
- Look clusterfuck in the eye and laugh
- Die right at the end of the final spell
*Seriously, this run looks like I actually planned everything, when in reality, this is my first run that I got to SANAE on Hard, let alone Kanako! Seriously, Aya's a bitch to get past on Hard!
Yeah, I'm not joking. I ended the game with four fucking lives. This is the kid that did the Normal run that ended in 1 power 0 lives and the illeged "Mountain of Fail" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsqyZ15c9_w) run which I still laugh at because it shows how bad I used to be.
-
Congratulations!
Now if you'll excuse me, challenge accepted.
Whoops, game called due to parents.
But I was running a perfect game up to Nitori :<
-
*is now going for perfect Mokou.*
Curse you Fujiwara Volcano, curse you. I can't do this self-imposed challenge cause fo you. =)
-
I just played Seiga's overdrive for the first time in ages, and captured it my first try. :o This is the card that took me two hours of straight playing the first time.
*is now going for perfect Mokou.*
Curse you Fujiwara Volcano, curse you. I can't do this self-imposed challenge cause fo you. =)
Fair warning, you may find the non-spell before Fujiyama Volcano significantly more of a roadblock. That non-spell is murder.

TD Stage 3 Lunatic perfect run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19132)
Two words: fuck Score Desire Eater. I should have had this ages ago.
While I've gone through Stage 2 NDNBNT, I kinda cheesed Kyouko's boss opener by hanging outside the barriers most of the time. I'm debating if I want to try learning the pattern without doing so, but it looks way too intimidating, even if it is aimed. Otherwise I only have Extra left to perfect in TD.
Fair warning, you may find the non-spell before Fujiyama Volcano significantly more of a roadblock. That non-spell is murder.
Ditto. I'm sure most others would agree with Donut here.
-
Fair warning, you may find the non-spell before Fujiyama Volcano significantly more of a roadblock. That non-spell is murder.
Presumably the nonspell before is eating the rest of the bomb stock, forcing a capture.
That nonspell is the one pattern in the stage I have never dodged (although I came close twice!)
-

Yeah I threw that one over to the spell card help thread for a good laugh, even though it's not a spell. It's harder than all of hers. =)
in other news, somehow capped Geneaology of the Sky-born and Fantasy Seal Dark on my first try on each (lunatic difficulty).
Now I only have Reimu's Fantasy Seal Blink on Lunatic and then all her spell s in 8 (save for Fantasy Heaven, which can die in a fire) will be done.
-
i no-bombed ran and i'm posting it here because i don't recall doing it before, even though it felt like the easiest thing i've ever accomplished
-
Finally. Beat. GFW on Normal.
I've had no trouble with 90% of the game, but the final boss has ruined me, taking off 6-7 lives sometimes, thanks to no new bombs on dying. So as I went in today with 1 life to spare, I had no expectations, but somehow finished with 2. Even captured the final spell, which I've never done on Easy even.[edit: actually I have.]
Not coincidentally, I just discovered today that Ctrl rapid-fires like C, allowing me to keep my normal fingers on Shift/Z/X. I wish I could set it to just fire non-stop though, that extra finger throws me off too many times.
-
I've actually captured Rings of Death more than, surprisingly, Phoenix's Tail. Yet PT is nothing more than a tiny bit denser Starbow Break with somewhat distracting bullet animations... :blush:
Maybe I'm just much better at dodging fast bullets that leave the screen quickly than slow ones that clutter the screen. Either that or I need to unfocus less.

Timed out Merlin's opener. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wEkcB2nKe4)
-
While I've gone through Stage 2 NDNBNT, I kinda cheesed Kyouko's boss opener by hanging outside the barriers most of the time. I'm debating if I want to try learning the pattern without doing so, but it looks way too intimidating, even if it is aimed.
I pulled it off back in the demo days so get to work. :V
-
I finally captured Pseudo-Exorcism of the Stupid Shrine Maiden in a full run. I have to remember that circular motion I used to survive the second half.

Ten Desires normal 90 fps 1CC (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwc0W75Kg-c)
This was an awful run. I mean everything went pretty well until double K.O. at Tojiko (wat :wat:) and some mandatory derps on Miko. Finished 0/0 (with 16/18 of next freaking life). I know, i could do it much better (like i did some stages in practice) but i wont bother to. Though, i maybe try to play some spellcards at this speed for fun :D
Also, i beg Zil (after he'll be done with EoSD) or any other 90 fps obsessed maniac to try TD lunatic 90 fps 1CC cause that would be some ridiculous challenge (Imagines Yoshika...)
-
Imperishable Shooting grazing with Remi Solo.
1745 graze.
You wouldn't believe how long it took to get that.
-
After trying to clear EoSD Extra for a while, I decided to try a Normal 1cc with Marisa.
Then I got the 1cc for MarisaA (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=19148) and MarisaB (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=19149) in the span of an hour. :derp:
After Extra, Normal seems a lot easier :D
-
Just got a Mountain of Faith 90fps Lunatic 1cc. I'll have the run on Youtube shortly. Funny how SA took two weeks and this took a day.
Sorry it isn't what you requested MMX. :P (I'll see about TD)

MoF will be much appreciated too cause the only one we have on YT by Naut has horrible quality.
Btw, how's your EoSD attempt going?After trying to clear EoSD Extra for a while, I decided to try a Normal 1cc with Marisa.
Then I got the 1cc for MarisaA (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/index.php) and MarisaB (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=19149) in the span of an hour. :derp:

Congratz with all shottypes clear! MarisaA replay link is broken, fix it.
-
I've completely 1CC'd Ten Desires on Easy. It's a small accomplishment, but I'm happy now. :toot:
-
Even if it's Easy (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19142) Modo (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19144) I did these when I only had two hours of sleep. I normally derp in UFO Easy after running on so little sleep, never really expecting to perfect the last two bosses of UFO.
I should try again to break these scores.
-
MoF will be much appreciated too cause the only one we have on YT by Naut has horrible quality.
Btw, how's your EoSD attempt going?
It's pretty good I guess. The best I've done is Remi's opener. I had two bombs I could have used but didn't becuase I knew I'd need them for Scarlet Meister and Gensokyo if wanted even a prayer of victory. Regardless, as it is I think I need to improve a bit more before I can manage EoSD. Meiling and Sakuya's nonspells are having their way with me at the moment. Patchy is too, but I've accepted that she will be a bomb-fest. I'd sooner capture VoWG than some of her spells at max rank.

Yeah. Any pattern that needs some precise micrododging tends to become bullshit on 90 fps cause of higher player's speed. Also, are you using Reimu A for better bomb and easier Patchy? And what's Eternal Meek like? :ohdear:
-
Yes, ReimuA for slow movement, homing shots and powerful bomb. And if the rank is low I can capture some Patchy cards.
And Eternal Meek... it's in a league of it's own. You hope you have a bomb for it. And if you don't... you dance the the tarantella on feet of flame.
-
That's really good! You wouldn't be willing to upload the replay so I can see it, would you?

Maybe I should try MoF on 90 FPS to improve my deathbomb reflex. God damn, I hate scorerunning stage 4.
-
Mountain of Faith 90fps Lunatic 1cc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEqzbVhN5oI)
The thing mentioned earlier, now on Youtube.
Good parts:
-nice capture of Hina's second spell
-"captured" the crows before Aya
-captured Sanae's opener and midboss spell
-did okay on VoWG for a while
-no deaths on stages 1,2,3, and 5 (I think)
Bad parts:
-three unplanned bombs in stage 3, leading to extra deaths in stage 4
-forgot what I was doing in stage 5 and wasted bombs, though I reached Sanae at full power anyway so it didn't matter (lol MoF <3)
-the Sanae fight was ugly
-the Aya fight was uglier
-killed by the pre-Kanako fairy at the last second
-killed by VoWG before the amulets started moving :D
-
Major improvements in spellcard strategy on IN Extra have really paid off. I've increased my high score from 1.45 to 1.62 billion now. :D
Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19162)
-
Shoot the Bullet Ultra TAS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raK3S_66iOk)
I made another batch of replays for StB Ultra. Coupled with some great music, some Zengekunese humor and some poor humor too. Go watch it, it's great. Unlike said patch.
-
I wanted to shut up about Kinkaku-Ji Ultra for a while but I'll just blame you. Now imagine doing this thing legit. And still making it to the last phase. And still failing there because one bullet thought it'd be a great idea to crush all the dreams and hopes of
all of humanity a single dude just as you are at a perfect distance and start taking a picture, so close to finishing this. Though it's just as soul crushing if you fail because time for the taking picture ran out. OH THE MEMORIES.
6-5 ... :V Is there anything else that could be said about this? I preferred to stick close to one of the sides of the screen for this - kinda worked out (*cough*lol-luck*cough*).
7-1, yeah... that last phase. I tried making replays of this with some kind of informational value just to understand what the hell I'm supposed to do and still got no clue. Maybe it's a trick-question and "there is no way". Sounds about right.
7-5, too far away from Sakuya I'd say. I still think that this card is easier than the original because the blue knives are easier to read. Maybe my memories of the original are lying to me though.
Nice to see some of the extra-stages - after all I won't see them. My current level isn't enough to finish anything that's left (and not extremely annoying) without resorting to tools: Ultra, you won. Satisfied?
Meanwhile, the Rocky-esque training sequence continues. Why is there Medicine on Tewi's story path? A level 7 lunatic Medicine? Funnily enough Tewi's first reaction to this predicament was the same as mine: "uwah" (a word from lolinese meaning 'I'm f*cked' or 'Pancakes!' depending on the context)
-
MarisaA replay link is broken, fix it.
Thanks for pointing out, fixed it.
And until I have my EoSD Extra clear, here (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=19140) is a replay from my best try until now.
Edit: Just got a PCB Normal 1cc(ReimuA) (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=19166) on my first try ever. :D I didn't even play PCB the whole last month... :V

So I just 1CCed SA Normal at 90FPS. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19168)

UFO Stage 6 Lunatic 1DNBNUFO run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19169)
Yay I finally broke the 2-mistake barrier. Lasted most of the way through LFS before dying (right as the first red rings spawned, so I don't even have the excuse of saying I died on the hardest wave ::)). Still, I love seeing this kind of progress. I'm capturing the second nonspell much more frequently now, which is awesome.
-
PCB Normal 1cc'd with Reimu and Marisa (both shottypes). I would do Sakuya as well, but I have no time left. That's for tomorrow. :derp:
-
so I don't even have the excuse of saying I died on the hardest wave ::)
Well at least you can say you didn't die on the hardest wave :V
-
1cc TH13 on Normal with Reimu. Just did a dry run, and then made it happen. Really easy. >,>
Made it to Level9 on Double Spoiler.
-
UFO Hard 1cc w/ SanaeB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19176)
This might have been the most crazy half-hour in my entire gaming history. The adrenaline is still making me unable to sit down, so I'm typing while standing!
~~~
I was doing really flippin' well up to Murasa. In fact, it was probably my best UFO Hard run yet. I was still murmuring over my horrible derp on Ichirin's opener that ended up costing me two bombs overall (after counting the capture of her final card, which never happens :I), and that kept me distracted long enough to make me notice I had 8 lives only when I reached Murasa. Then I... I just broke down under pressure. I knew I could 1cc at this point by simply spamming bombs, so I was pressured.
I bombed her opener, using up my one bomb.
~PRESSURE PLAYING~ made me capture everything up to her third nonspell which, of course, I die to, which was a psychological death because "I always die to it" and bleh.
I had a bomb during her survival that I was PLANNING ON USING because I HAD IT so I literally left a finger on the bomb button, causing my finger layout to screw up and cause me to press shift without letting go when I WANTED to, causing a death and wasting the bomb. YAY.
Then, Stage 5. Just... eh, very eh.
Then, Shou.
Shou.
SHOOOOOOOOUUUUUU FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK WHY
I AM NEVER GOING TO NOT AUTOBOMB YOUR SECOND NONSPELL
THREE DEATHS? IN 10 SECONDS? WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE WHAT THE HELL I'm going to lose now aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
I proceed to do horrib-fucking-ly up to Byakuren. I even died in Stage 6. I DIED IN STAGE 6.
And then I took a glance at my resources
and
pulled
my
shit
together
I had 1 life and 4 bombs nope, it was 3.667 bombs because I stupidly lost that one bomb piece earlier in the stage. MAAAN, WHY DID I HAVE TO PLAY LIKE I WAS IN SOME SORT OF COMA EVER SINCE MURASA?
I had 0 lives and 2 bombs on her 'fat' nonspell, only one bomb before Devil's Recitation.
I PLANNED on wasting it on her second-last because I did not see it yet and I KNEW the pattern would screw me over.
"I'm going to capture Devil's Recitation"
"I'm going to capture Flying Fantastica"
And so it motherfucking was.
GOOD
GAME
WHAT JUST HAPPENED
HOLY SHIT
AAAAAHHHHHH I STILL HATE YOU SHOU BUT HOLY SHIT
tl;dr
This run, mang.

Yuyuko's Overdrive 90fps timeout.
Well I died with one second left, which actually means less than one second. Is this really as hard as I think it is? It's really kicking my ass at 90fps.
Also, congrats BT! UFO Hard is beyond the Lunatic of most of the other games.
-
I've captured Cat Walk (normal). 5 times in a row :V It's actually not that difficult and all about not panicking. Also perfected stage part and captured Zombie Fairy and Rekindling of Dead Ashes for a first time.
Still having troubles with Spleen Eater and Needle Mountain. Captured them too. Now let's perfect the whole stage..
-
Oh hey, practicing EoSD Lunatic at 75fps is actually kind of fun.
I'm getting nice captures of some of Meiling's and Patchouli's cards in the process.
-
I captured VoWG with MarisaA
lolwoot
-
So I played through PCB Stage 4 on Normal. Got through it okay, one derp death, three bombs, and one border break (which only happened because I didn't pacify the orbs before Lily).
Oh yeah, did I mention this was at 120 FPS? QED: this stage is not hard. Really.
EDIT: HOLY SHIT I JUST CAPTURED PEERLESS WIND GOD.
-
Let me just say that MoF Ultra can go fuck itself.
Fuck you Stage 6, I can still beat you on Ultra. Somehow. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19193)
This is a run of Touhou 10 Stage 6 on Ultra with ReimuB and AutoBomb enabled. You have been warned of the bullshit.
The last card ate SEVEN OF MY LIVES. SEVEN.
-
Let me just say that MoF Ultra can go fuck itself.
What do you think my sentiment was while trying to clear ultra hard, VoWG eats anywhere from 3-5 lives, and the most I can get there with is 4, usually 3 and low power.
-
Decided to do something random this morning and finally no-vertical captured Rainbow Danmaku~ (on Normal, Spell Practice, obviously for me xD)
The beginning part of it is really easy to redirect and survive now~
-
PCB Lunatic no-bombs 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19200)
I'm surprised this took me so long. "No bombs" also means no intentional border breaks - I tried to capture everything, so any broken borders were the equivalent of me dying otherwise.
-
Got to Border of Life and Death on PCB Ultra Phantasm.
With Marisa.
-
Fuck yeah! SA normal stage 5 perfect! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giLs7TXFZ-c) Oh maaan.. that was exhausting. I feel like 1CCd some game or cleared some extra. Look at Cat Walk history (excluding 0/30+ tries i've got before went perfecting) and estimate the number of attempts.
Special thanks to Zil and xForeverFanaticx for helpful tips on Orin patterns ;)
-
Congratz! Orin's a tough cookie... er, kitty. :3
-
Got to Yuyuko on PCB Ultra with SakuyaB
-
Gratz MMX! And no problem with the help~ I still really hate Cat's Walk... @@
I'm prolly gonna be lazy and safespot her first nonspell and stuff if I ever try for a perfect stage 5~
-
Gratz MMX! And no problem with the help~ I still really hate Cat's Walk... @@

I had no problems with her first nonspell, always captured it. Except one time got hit by one of those little particles that was alive on Zombie Fairy start for some reason. And i'm pretty bad at things like safespotting on top of the boss :V
-
lol~
The safe spot is above her in the general area of her stretched hand. There's a specific little circle you should be in to prevent her star bullets from shooting. Pretty easy, if she doesn't accidentally ram into you somehow o.o"
I think I'll go for a 1CC in EoSD or Ten Desires Hard :\ Maybe UFO. Suggestions?

Oh yeah, did I mention this was at 120 FPS? QED: this stage is not hard. Really.
Haha. That's a nice way to bear it's enormous length :) Would you upload some 120 fps video?
EDIT: HOLY SHIT I JUST CAPTURED PEERLESS WIND GOD.
On 120 fps too? :V
-
So I just had a dumb idea.
Ten Desires (normal) is too easy (lunatic is too hard), so I'll do it no focu...I already did that. Twice. With Reimu and You...mu...I'VE GOT IT!
I'll do it with Sanae.
and it was still too easy ???
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19211
-
I was failing horribly at TD Hard today, so decided to throw all my effort into Easy modes, and sufficiently kicked their butts in new ways.
Got no death/no bomb TD Easy, which, eh, barely even surprised me, though I hadn't done it before.
But then I just managed no death SA Easy (and not using ReimuA even), which did, given that I can barely scrape by 1ccing Normal.
-
Easy Mode Edition
I think this is the right place to brag about accomplishements for me :V
Yesterday I managed to both unlock Profound Field ~Phantasm, Foam, Shadow~ in IN and I capped it.
After felt 250 attempts, Reimu Solo alone had 129.
Now... onto PCB Phantasm again, now that I figured out how Yukari's Arcanum "Danmaku Bounded Field" works :derp:

To put things into perspective, my last significant 1cc was SA, back in June 2010 (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,5938.msg354989.html#msg354989) (10D doesn't count because easy). This feels so great I can't even express it.

Great job, Drake! Nice runs from everyone else, aswell!
I think I've done enough SA stage 5 normal for now, and I got a run that I'm somewhat happy with.
(http://i.imgur.com/zcXYV.png)
One of the two misses is understandable; it was during the bullshit streaming portion. Second one is an idiotic fail to the second nonspell. I've always been bad at it, and here I was paying for it again. I know you can do it on the top, moving only bit vertically every now and then. However, I like doing horizontal stuff on the bottom, at least for normal.
I won't probably upload this to Youtube, unless someone specially asks, since this is nothing special (and it has total of two deaths, instead of being perfect), but I think I can sleep with this, and possibly return to this later. If you wish to watch it, I suggest watching the Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19232).
Now, I think I'll wait and see what's the next Touhou Tournament (shouldn't it start during this week?), and possibly get down with it. Or, hell, I should just go do IN easy scoring runs, but I'm currently too tired for that, I want to refresh myself with some silly challenges.
-
o hai gaiz eye just got Nue's extend on normal.
With the ultra patch applied.
Also, cleared with 3 lives to spare, going for bombs as early as Stage 3 seems to be the best course of action.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19235
Yeah this is going on my channel later.
-
fdsjdsksd I forgot the feeling you get when you clear something for the first time.
finally got my first normal 1cc of any kind - http://t.co/OSBKj1z. yeah it's only Dim.Dream, yeah I only used Mima but I haven't played any touhou at all since last July-August and I wasn't exactly brilliant back then, so I am pleased with this.
-
s'okay~ We're both playing on Normal still~ We'll just have to keep working on it some more, and stuff ^^
edit: realize that what I was gonna say fits in better in the other thread.
Going for a UFO Hard run sooner or later~
-
I'm still shaking.
finally.
freaking.
finally.
I win Kanako, you had your walls, but I had my wits. I beat you on normal. Your final spell was a brick wall. I beat you on hard. Same. I beat you on lunatic. VoWG was trying at the best of times then. I then applied the ultra patches, and watched as the amazingly fun card you had at the end of the game...turned to utter BS. I still triumphed over you on normal mode, then tried hard. I failed, many times. Once even with 4 lives, much like today's run.
But no, I KILLED HALF THE VoWG ULTRA LIFEBAR ON 1 LIFE!
and then...you still had to kill me. 3 times in fact, and 1 further from beyond the grave. It didn't matter, I STILL WON.
tl;dr, MoF ultra hard 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19254), took forever, choked from the same position I won in on my prior best attempt, double KO kept me from having a life to spare.

A huge congratulation goes there! 8) I can only imagine how difficult it was (wait, i've tried TD hard ultra myself so i know it). It's actually a shameful flaw that most of the difficulty is reduced to save as much resourses as possible for a one final attack, wich became total bullshit. But you made through it, so respect ;)
-
Perfect Remilia on Normal in a full run. I think that's also my first perfect Normal mode final boss of the series o/. Usually I end up with one miss or something.

Funny thing is, I don't HATE UFO, nor its system, it's just a real bitch in stages 1-3 if you chase UFOs compared to stages 4 and 5. I decided to avoid UFOs until Stage 4 and as a result didn't restart one time when making this run. I should try a NoUFO run of Extra. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19255)

MoF and UFO ultra have this flaw, TD has its stage changes that make it much harder for different reasons than MoF ultra.
O.o I can't even do it on normal ~ :derp: Good job ! ^^"(http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/55/36539334.png)
Congratulations ! ! ! :D
Really? I honestly think you could do it on hard mode, probably in less tries than the 15-20 it took me.
-
Holy. Fuck.
I can't even believe it. I've been playing for years now, and all of it has led to this.
I JUST 1CCED MOUNTAIN OF FAITH ON LUNATIC. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19256) My first ever Lunatic 1CC. I'm seriously in tears right now.
...I did it. I BEAT YOU, KANAKO. Holy hell, this just doesn't even feel real.

I reached VoWG at normal ultra mode once(failed) and I still didn't try it again yet ~ :3
but hard - lunatic MoF 1cc is very impressive ! :D I think I'll try it soon ~!

Here is Part 2 of Shoot the Bullshit! A TAS demo of all the Ultrafied spells I never managed to beat legitimately. As usual, it comes with commentary , BS danmaku and great music. So go watch it. Your soul needs it.
-
EoSD Lunatic has kind of annoyed me today (what else is new) so I tried other things.
Captured Nue's Skyfish spell in TD.
At 90fps.
At least 5 times.
I might actually learn to do this consistently. TD Extra looks so much fun now!
-
TD Extra 90fps is so much fun now, take 2.
Avian Danmaku 90fps timeout. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19262) (~73 tries but holy hell was this fun)
This was so incredibly fun, really. Reflex dodging & hitbox abuse at its core. I think I had a fungasm sometime during the making of this, as well.
-
Star Sword Apologetics (12-7) finally captured, 766 shots. The only hard card in level 12, honestly.
-
Ooooh, I loved 12-7. Can't agree with that "hardest of the bunch" sentiment, though.
Hell, if I recall correctly I only capped that one and Byak's card with the explosions (which you have to photograph in order to get rid of them). I have 6 cards left. ?___?
-
The only hard one for me, at least. 12-6 is the easiest IMO, even with the bug. >_>
Stages 8 and 10 are both a lot harder for me for some reason.
-
12-7 took me more pictures than any other scene in the game, so I'd say it's up there.
-
Took around 400 tries here. Definitely not horrible. I even played some more ~100 tries for kicks because it was fun.
Am I broken? :ohdear:
e: okay wait that actually IS my highest count itg. guess i remembered the higher numbers from stb. stb.... >:(
-
You guys think that is a lot? How about 997 shots on Koishi's DNA card? :V
Pain in game format.
-
9-4 is one of the ones I haven't touched yet. Looks like I'll be having fun soon.
-
You would probably have a better time getting mauled by a baseball bat. Look forward to that.
However, i have heard about some people of considerably lower skill than mine clear it pretty fast. Its different from person to person.
-
That would be me. Although I will acknowledge how... rather lucky I was. Not VERY lucky, but lucky nonetheless.
Took: 30 tries. :V
-
9-4 cleared, 73 shots, and I think I was at 50 or so before I posted that. <_<
-
You guys think that is a lot? How about 997 shots on Koishi's DNA card? :V
Pain in game format.
1733 shots on 9-7. I win/lose.
9-4...too long and boring :V
-
I checked and my longest record was, in fact, in StB.
697 tries on 8-1.
I didn't know how to mircotap then. ;-;
-
697 tries on 8-1.
D: My own is 784 shots on Soaring En No Ozuno. Just above Rain in the Afterworld Journey, then Kinkaku-Ji.
Unfortunately my DS data has vanished mysteriously.
-
I'm not sure if this should go in accomplishments or fails... In any case, capped Guse Flash. Here's my cap rate. (http://i.imgur.com/hfPh0.jpg) Glowing bullets are so ugh.
-
It's a really small achievement, but I can capture Mamizou's gingerbread spell very consistently without derping horribly. \o/
Now to work on Nue's Skyfish...
-
Behold the derpiest run ever.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19277
Anyhow, I reached stage 5 Nazrin in a lunatic 1cc attempt!
Watch in amusement (popcorn suggested) as I:
1. bomb Nazrin's nonspell in stage 1
2. let multiple red UFOs go off the screen in stage 2/3
3. completely mess up UFO collecting in stage 3
4. miraculously capture Murasa's survival in stage 4
5. completely random UFO summoning in stage 5
-
Capped and no focus timeout'd Yuyuko's overdrive. Can't seem to upload to gensokyo right now though :(.
-
9-4 cleared, 73 shots, and I think I was at 50 or so before I posted that. <_<
Added to the list...
-
I captured Scarlet Meister.
Now.
During stage practice.
At 75fps.
This is my first time capping it. I didn't do this at 60fps yet.
I was just done screaming "what" for ten minutes.
Just... what.
Why couldn't I save a replay of this aaaaaaaaa
-
Lunatic?
-
Yup.
I think it was my first time trying S6 at 75fps, too. ::)
I seemed to be able to clear a few waves on Lunatic 60fps but I never captured it. This was... quite surprising.
Might as well mention this while I'm here.
Tried a No Bombs EoSD Extra for fun. Died on Patchouli twice, capped everything until Starbow Beak, derped. Continued doing well until Counterclock. Derped. Bombed ATTWBN because I got walled (i know this breaks the challenge but i was going to fail either way and i wanted to see qed), 'capped' the second phase, derped on QED, GG. This way my first attempt.
Would have done it if not for bullets spawning on me @ Royal Flare. :V
-
IN Normal Border Team 1cc (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=19280)
I will do FinalA and FinalB for all teams, but not the solo characters :V That's for later :derp:
-
Unlocked solo characters in IN (aka 1cc'd the game with all teams)
Now, to play some more UFO and TD before tackling IN extra @@
-
Added to the list...
List?
and I cleared 10-2 with 119 total shots, but the game crashed when I tried to save a replay and it didn't count. Now at 463 without a recorded clear. >_>
-
Oh, 10-2 was another fun card. Took around 200 shots I think. Nevermind I'm talking about 11-2. 10-2 is bad. :V
Honestly DS (as well as StB) are lacking in "fun" cards, as in, cards you actually want to come back to and play.
-
List?
Of people who cleared that scene so fast... and so much faster than me... that needs to hunted for that reason.
-

I'd agree with StB (only 10-1 and BoWaP qualify, IMO) but I'd say DS has a lot. 11-6, 10-4, and most of level 12 are fun.Of people who cleared that scene so fast... and so much faster than me... that needs to hunted for that reason.
To be fair, my winning run was also the first time I got over five shots, so I'm sure a lot of it was luck.
What's the pattern, anyway? The only thing I can tell is that some of the shots are aimed.
-
Its something about Koishi shooting off a shot at a wall, then it bounces twice before it heads in your direction. Though I really don't remember. I have played through DS a couple of times but I always skip that one. :V
-
I think it's similar to some of her cards in SA (caugh genetics caugh) in that she moves in some pattern until she makes a "charging sound", then moves to your location. The DNA strip follows.
-
The DNA aims for Koishi when it bounces off the wall. She will also launch herself at you every once in a while, so the DNA follows soon after. It took me a while to figure out how it works, though it really doesn't help at all.
And I have an accomplishment! I made it to stage 3 of TD at 90fps with no deaths. I'm not sure how many bombs I had, but I'm glad to have a consistent way of getting there at least. Seiga is proving to be a problem for me.
-

Do you mean to stage 3 or past it? How does Yoshika feel at 90 fps? :ohdear:
-
To stage 3, not past it. I think a death is inevitable there. I may even have to suicide so I can bomb Kogasa properly. X(
On the plus side, Yoshika is very fun. Her nonspells are nice, though I fear I have to bomb them, and her second spell is great, though again, I hope to trance/bomb it. The last is a timeout of course. Her first spell is still easy to capture at least.
-
Just swept through EX-3, 5, and 7. Lucky, easy, lucky. 104/108, not looking forward to 10-8.
edit: Add EX-6 to that as well. Only 9-1, 10-5 and 10-8 left. What should I expect?
-
I found 10-5 to be the hardest scene in the game. 10-8 is a cakewalk. (Assuming you mean StB.)
And regarding what I said earlier, I will be trancing Kogasa, not bombing. I'm stupid for thinking I should bomb there.
Also, I've learned how to dodge Kyouku's second nonspell. Finally.
-
Oh sorry, DS. Speaking of which, just captured 10-5. I'd agree with you for StB, though.
Kyouko's nonspells are annoying and they seem so menacing, but I always seem to do fine against them. Can't explain why.
-
I'm inclined to believe they're significantly more traumatizing at 90FPS.
>Hasn't tried 10D main game at 90FPS yet, so doesn't have an opinion.
-
Came REALLLY close to Perfect Mokou. I made a judgement error on her first card but the rest was perfect. (save for the Rings of death and IS which I won't count. =D)
geez it's like a skyrim meme.
caps hardest Mokou spell
derps her first spell.
but still yay!!!!!!!!!
-
A timeout attempt of Miko's second-last spell on Lunatic 75fps ends in tragedy as I derp with 7 seconds left on the clock.
At least I captured it in a different attempt.
Zil might want to know that doing this on 90fps is utter bull. Unless he knows this already. ::)
-
Avian Danmaku 105fps timeout in 6 attempts.
120fps pushes it into the realm of "too fast, can't control, not enjoyable", unfortunately.
-
Captured Most Valuable Vajra (Normal) for the first time ever. Then ALSO got Demon of Purification right after (my history's about 5% on that one).
On practice, unfortunately, bordered on both sides by failing both cards in a real game.
-
I finally managed to patch Imperishable Night to ultra.
The problem? v 1.00b, not 1.00d
yes this is an accomplishment because it took longer than it did to 1cc MoF ultra hard (which in itself is the longest it took me of trying something to complete)
-
Zil might want to know that doing this on 90fps is utter bull. Unless he knows this already. ::)
Oh I have every intention of bombing the crap out of that spell, as well as eveything else past stage 3. Maybe I'll try a timeout though just to see what it's like.
-
10-8 and 9-1 finally captured for 108/108. Awesome.
Now to do it all again with Hatate. Wonderful.
-
Some easy accomplishment - Silent Selene timeout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-Z3_1IkGmk) This card needs a twice longer timer. (or been done with Marisa and ultra patch :V )
And some better one:
Click for replay.

57 tries, eh?
I got it in 1 try.
...and...I guess...Life Spring Infinity ultra lunatic capture? Also first try.

lulz capture history for Guze flash . BV
It's the easiest Miko's spell I know ,but It's my favorite spell card ~
-
Do share replays, or videos, IHNN. I'd love to watch them.
And yeah, LSI was humanly possible, but it took a bit of tries from me to get into. You should go timeout SFN Ultra next, possibly you'll get it 57 times faster than I did aswell!
Congratiulations, anyway, capturing something on the Ultra difficuly is no mean feat. And there are some cool achievements posted here aswell, cheers to all of you guys aswell!

Huh? What? Why does it say Master? Did you photoshop that or is that another way for ZUN to write 99/99?
It being the easiest card is pretty debatable though. I'd say that she has a few other cards that are even more easy. The first two for example.
-
Pretty sure it says MASTER if you capped it 99 times. As in, it's 99/99 or 99/99+. More likely to be the latter. ::)
-
Do share replays, or videos, IHNN. I'd love to watch them.
Here you go.
Midboss Wriggle's card, Eirin's Last Word, Kaguya's 2nd, 3rd and 4th, and Kaguya's first last spell.
-
Woah, that was an interesting tactic for Kaguya's third spell, also, nice dodging at LSI and Wriggle's midboss one. Eirin's Last Word isn't really different, IIRC.
I currently have got my hands on the older version of the ultra patch, which has THE TLB OF ALL SFN's. That said SFN took me seventy tries to capture, now I'm nearing 300 tries and my longest survivality has been at 65 seconds of card left. I don't know if I'll continue this or not.
However, wanna race with me about some other Kaguya's Last Spells, say, the rest of them? (I have already done 1st and 4th) Or, maybe on something else IN ultra has, if you have any ideas.
-
I can't get past the 3rd wave of blues on this SFN :derp:
Personally I'm avoiding the extra stage until my friend tries it (because he beat her normally first).
Kaguya's other last spells...except maybe Rising World they seem impossible. Well, I guess the 3rd one is doable, I dodged through 1 set blindly, but there's no way I can get the required 20 or so.
Honestly if we do race towards anything odds are you'll beat me because you're way better than I am :V
Rising World is doable, got it to 3 seconds left.
3 seconds left again+SFN ultra capture.
-
The 4th Last Spell is totally doable, in fact, you can even turn during it. Nothing horrible over there. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19319) And Rising World.. I've got it to one second of card left, once when I was streaming to Vanhaomena and Cactu, IIRC.So yeah, it's doable. The final five seconds just are about closing your eyes and praying to whatever RNG goddess there might be.
Nice work with Ultra SFN! ;)
And, uhh, I kind of disagree on being - better - than someone. "Being good", or "being bad" have always been two kind of.. weird looks to one's skills. I'm actually quite bad at getting into new patterns, my probably best "skill", or the factor that is making me "good" is the fact, that I can - and will - grind the whatever I'm doing for a long time, especially if I like the said pattern, game, scoring, or something. You've done a lot of stuff I haven't even tought of doing, and while you have done some stuff I DO have done, you have done those quite a bit faster than I have. So.. yeah, it's not that much about skill input, especially if we're racing over something that's really luck based. Like, say, most of Kaguya's stuff.
And you're getting a head on, since I'll be leaving to go do some work now, and I won't probably have time to play Touhou until next monday. : P
--
Btw, I got THE TLB (http://i.imgur.com/zITCP.png) down to 61 seconds. I should probably look more into it. I'm too addicted to this Spell Card, really.
-

It'll show "MASTER" when you get 99+/99+ capture rate. :3
-
Okay... I wouldn't call that 'Mastery' if its 99 out of 800 history. :V Didn't know that though, interesting touch.

I'd absolutely love the Spellcard if it weren't for the danger of getting hit due to me misjudging a hitbox. Out of all her Spellcards, it's probably the only one I'd rather encounter with no Bombs in stock rather than potentially wasting one or two.
-
Got another UFO Stage 6 Lunatic 1-death run (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19322), though I died on Devil's Recitation instead of LFS this time. Capturing LFS is still rare enough for me that pulling it off feels awesome, though I would have liked to have perfected everything else before it at the same time. But what can you do?

-

I was very very surprised!
Anyhow, it was 65/746 when I started, and I proceed to play that addicting card for 2 hours straight (netting +35/+154).
I won't touch that card in spell practice with Reimu again - for a while!
I've been traumatized too much by it.
Hm, does TD's spell history max out at 999? I'm not really inclined to find out myself though :V
-
I managed my first 90fps 1CC.
IN on easy, but my first time playing the border team in months, which meant I had completely forgotten how to beat Marisa. :derp:
I'm so happy!
-
It goes past 1,000. Yuyuko's overdrive at 90fps taught me that.
I wonder why the in-game history caps at 99 in MoF and TD, but in SA it goes past that. I forget what UFO does.
-
I finally decided to at least ultrafy Imperishable Night and now I have an Ultra Easy 1cc. I'd have to say it's pretty alright. I might ultrafy the other games too. :toot:

Ten Desires 90FPS normal clear with Sanae. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19329)
So much derp, so much blatant panicking, and oh so much trance abuse. But a clear's a clear.
-
Bleh. UFO Extra 90fps 1cc.
This was really fun. So fun I somehow failed to save the replay.

You must do it again, and don't stop until you can capture Rainbow UFO and Yorimasa Genzanmi in the same run.
-

don't forget Undefined Darkness and Nightmare of Heiankyou.
Ah screw it 90 FPS perfect UFO extra stage GO GO GO
Also got ultra Rising World down to 2 seconds.
-
I actually did capture Rainbow and Undefined Darkness. I probably would have got Nightmare but I bombed at the last second just to be safe. The final killed me at it's final phase. I'll redo it certainly, but I can't promise it will be as pretty as capturing all that. :derp:
If the stars aligned I could manage a perfect, but no, not happening. >=0
And really, you either capture Undefined Darkness or die 3 times to it. It's "that kind of spell."
-
UFO Lunatic awaits you, Zil.
-
Fresh off my first Extra clear in FW, I try route B2 in hard for the first time, and somehow made it to Three Fairies with several stupid deaths before. I don't think I've even made it to stage 3 on any route on hard without a continue before, what could have been.
At least I know what to do next time. >_>
-
UFO Lunatic awaits you, Zil.
Oh I'm looking forward to this. :D
I may have to finally learn a proper UFO route. Aside from that bombing everything my normal strategy should still work.
-
It goes past 1,000. Yuyuko's overdrive at 90fps taught me that.
I wonder why the in-game history caps at 99 in MoF and TD, but in SA it goes past that. I forget what UFO does.
Goes beyond 100, highest I have is ~350, so no idea if it goes past 1000.

Herp on derp, but very good job considering you used fast and fat Sanae for this. And actually not that much trance abuse. Like why dont you used it after Kogasa? It's the best place on stage 3 to trance for massive life/bomb piece colleection. And trancing Heal by Desire is pointless.
-
Captured Boundary of Life and Death first try (currently 0/10 on Ran's version) and I go on to game over on the attack I've practiced so much in IN spell practice. Still an accomplishment, but it could have been better.
-
Posted this in the other thread, but I virtually got a 1BND Lunatic Patchouli earlier.
Because deaths while Patchouli is exploding don't count. They. Don't. Count.
-
Got to Okuu in SA in two days :3
-
Ha, just perfected stages 2 and 3 of UFO. I can't believe how much I used to bomb in these. I think I've got it now though.

Tao Taidou ultra lunatic no-focus timeout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_8dGC1OeG8) :]
This is one of the easiest card ever on all difficulties except overdrive. Though with proper level of insanity it turns into some ridiculously fun challenge!
-
Timed out a couple of cards from TD Extra: Scrolls of Frolicking Animals (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmsT41SU6sQ) and Will-o-wisps in Unknown Orbit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JF2rCGuMvno).
Been kind of out of it lately, probably because I've had a cold. :( Hopefully I'll start posting actually significant achievements here soon, especially after the recent Lunatic clear.
-
So, I did some more ultra patching and I was trying to decide on which game I should try to 1cc next. I picked Subterranean Animism because I hadn't played it in a little while. :3
I got an Ultra Easy 1cc on my first try, and I will upload my recording of it in the morning. :toot:

Alright, been having a few problems motivating myself to finally clear TD Lunatic. Back in February, I thought, in order to motivate myself, I could just not open any packages containing orders or presents until I cleared the game. So good so far, a few packages piled up, looked really neat (http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j341/Lepetit89/12032012063.jpg). "This is going to be like Christmas, because who wants to wait until December for Christmas anyway!", I thought.
Yesterday, I finally decided that I had to face my nemesis and bring my work to an end at last. Had a reasonably nice run, more on that on another occasion. The end result is, I cleared TD, hurray. The problem?
Turns out that what looked neat before amounted to something of, uh, unexpected proportions.
As a result, there's precisely one question on my mind right now, after nearly losing my thumb's fingernail while carefully opening CD case wrappings:
Exactly where (http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j341/Lepetit89/12032012065.jpg) am I (http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j341/Lepetit89/12032012078.jpg) supposed to (http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j341/Lepetit89/12032012070.jpg) start? (http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j341/Lepetit89/12032012073.jpg)
I was so excited last night because I couldn't wait to finally open them, now it's like being mauled to death on Christmas Eve, with my own presents to boot.
Got a run to annotate, CDs to rip and categorize and Doujinshi with covers to scan, waiting to be sorted into my database. Not to mention, an awful lot of trash to take out. Looking at all that, I kind of feel, well, tired. Unexpected turnout, guess I should just dig into it.
Edit: Trash done, annotations next, everything else afterwards, sounds decent enough. Guess I'll be done by tomorrow or Wednesday.
-
Holy crap Petit that stuff looks amazing.
Oh, and congrats on clearing TD. :3
-
If you still live at home, I'd love to see your parents reactions when they realize what were in those boxes all the time. :V
On another note, *holy shit is that ever a lot of stuff?*
-
I got the SA Ultra Easy video up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chDWvdlY5B8

Wow. I should never have learned a good UFO Route for the extra stage. My first clear reached Nue with no extra lives in stock and cleared with none left as well. This one reached her with 4 or 5 extra lives and I still cleared with no resources left. Of course, the shit run is the one I save the replay for. Whatever, I have class now but I'll upload it later. Hopefully my stupidity will make the fight look harder and thus the replay more impressive. ;)
I capped Undefined Darkness at least, which is probably Nue's hardest spell outside her final.
-
So I reached Scarlet Meister on an actual run and got walled.
Why is it that my crap runs are the ones that reach Remilia? I mean seriously, 2B Stage 3, 2B Stage 4, a death on Meiling's FIRST card (if this happens, I know I'm off my game), other terrible mishaps, and I do just as "well" in my good runs, in which I derp in horrible ways despite playing well.
This is like a curse of something.
-
Just got my last few spell captures in TD and now I finally have all of them done! Although my spell card history doesn't show that I have the Extra survival card, I did clear it in spell practice once when it was still buggy and the clear doesn't show. Only reason I finished it was because I was messing around in Lunatic to see if I could finally unlock stage 6 for practice (no, I hadn't tried too hard for it) and I was able to finish the game and unlock the remaining cards in practice mode. My last few captures included Seiga Kaku's EVIL overdrive, along with Miko's 4th spell on both lunatic and overdrive (which I got on one try, while lunatic took like 15). Not a huge accomplishment considering the relative easiness of TD, but I'm still happy with it.

Dunno. My lunatic 1cc involved 2D stage 3, 2D stage 4, 2D stage 5, and 2D stage 6 :V
If you know how to bomb through Remillia and can somewhat dodge Scarlet Gensokyo without too many mistakes, then even 2/3 is enough to neuter Remillia.
-
Got so close to 1ccing Suwapyon on Easy. Just shows I'm getting used the the weird layout.

Yeah...this is true.
My only lunatic 1cc of this game had 3D S3, S5, S6 and 1D S4.
and a perfect Cirno.

Alright. UFO Extra 90fps clear is now on Youtube. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGSkbnOob3s&feature=youtu.be)
I somehow failed to get the video in high quality, but whatever. I hadn't noticed how well I played the stage portion before, so I'll forgive myself the stupidity against Nue. This stage is absurdly fun, by the way.
And now I guess I'll give Ten Desires a few more tries and if I get sick of it I'll start preparing for UFO Lunatic.
-
1D2B UFO stage 3. I'm so happy. The hard work has finally come to fruition
Wall fairies pre-Ichirin - check!
Summon 2 green UFOs pre-Ichirin - check!
Wall fairies post-Ichirin - check!
Summon 3 green UFOs post-Ichirin - check!
Pass the circling part NDNB - check!
Capture Ichirin's everything except KKS - check!
The rather insignificant mistakes:
1B the orbs right before circling because didn't kill UFO late enough - orbs still on the screen shooting and not dead yet, so can't run to grab UFO
1D1B King Kraken Strike cuz it's the worst card ever and I was trying to capture it.
UFO lunatic progress: +1 :D
-
Took me a week because i suck too much but at long last i perfected TD Stage 6 on Lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19397)
-
Ignoring the tries where I reset after dying on stage 1, 1cced MoF Hard in exactly one try. Didn't even die until Aya. VoWG took a few lives but I still ended with one left, so it's all good. Overall, easier than PCB. >_>
-
Ultra Easy is still pretty easy in some cases, it seems. I got this 1LC on Ten Desires on my first Ultra attempt. :toot:
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19398

Maybe I should be working on Ultra Normal instead? :derp:

OK Byakuren unlocked for stage practice. That took god knows how many continues.
LFS, I will conquer you! (~someday)
-
Holy crap Petit that stuff looks amazing.
Oh, and congrats on clearing TD. :3
Harr, thanks!
If you still live at home, I'd love to see your parents reactions when they realize what were in those boxes all the time. :V
On another note, *holy shit is that ever a lot of stuff?*
Oh, don't worry, moved out more than a year ago. I did order a lot of stuff back then, too, but it was mostly CDs, some tapestries or plushies at most. Did not start ordering any R-18 Doujinshi until I moved out since the customs office in that area kind of did not like porn, at least they'd ask if my CDs were porn because there were anime characters on them, not even a hint of erotic content.
Regardless, when my parents ask what exactly I'm ordering I do mention that I order porn and that I'm kind of at odds with the law here since my perception of the import of morally questionable pornographic media "slightly" differs from what is written in our constitution, but hey, no complaints yet.
ANYWAY!
Run is up on Youtube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdMMGMdVnj8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdMMGMdVnj8)
I actually liked the run, Stage 2 had a major mistake, but Stage 3 and 4 were really nice, even captured all Spellcards in the latter. Things went downhill at a hilarious rate in Stage 5 and 6, though, didn't even get the 18-piece Extra Life because I didn't think letting the last fairies before Miko live would be worth it. Should have done some quick maths, but it worked out anyway.
Regardless, with TD, I have, at long last, cleared the last of the Windows maingame Lunatic Modes. What started out as a means to kill some time before Nyzul Isle or Aspidochelone on a boring Friday evening (at least I think it was a Friday) 3 years and 2 months ago turned into the most burning, most expensive passion that bordered on self-mutilation and addiction I have ever witnessed.
Especially during my Lunatic runs, I have slapped and punched myself more than I have been slapped by other people in my entire life. I broke a laptop because I thought it would be safe to beat on it in rage if I just shut it, I turned into a mental wreck at times, especially during UFO Lunatic, but I'll be damned if this wasn't worth it.
Before I started playing Touhou, my reflexes were terrible and all that, but all my accomplishments in these games are, more than anything else, one thing to me: testament to the fact that I can do anything if I want. Pretty much all of my 1CCs would have been over with one more mistake or a little less luck in only one spot. However, I never gave up, even when I wanted to, and I guess I'm kind of proud of myself for that, because every single time I eventually managed to pull through and win, even if I had to face the last Spellcard of a Stage 6 Boss for the sixth or seventh time, even if it shook me up every single time.
I'm especially happy about this because I hardly ever watched replays by other players, which I made a rule starting with Hard Modes. I wanted to develop my own strategies, not influenced by the ones other players use, since I wanted to go through this with my own strength. If I lacked reflexes, then I wanted to at least be able to develop a strategy to help me overcome that particular problem.
Due to that, I'm looking forward to actually watching other people's replays now. I'm excited to see how other people approach certain parts, though it's probably not that much different since I don't think I've done more than reinventing the wheel most of the time. Nonetheless, I'm happy that I sticked with that approach.
This post might be a little over the board considering my last 1CC was TD, which, admittedly, was easier than the other games, but I still enjoyed it a lot and did find it challenging in quite a few parts. Also, why not, because hey, last Windows maingame Lunatic Mode clear!
With that out of the way, I'll go through the TD Extra Stage one more time, do some Overdrives, clear the Beat 'em Ups and 12.8, then just chill and work on clearing all difficulties with all character combinations in all games, one step at a time. At least until I find copies of the PC-98 games or Touhou 14 is released.

Captured Nitori's midboss card at 90FPS. That card sure died fast. :V I think I'll try to time it out.
EDIT: Okay, that was a bad idea. I need way better precision than what I can achieve at 90FPS.

I like that attitude. I'm pretty much the same myself although I haven't explicitly told my parents that I possess content of pornographic nature (kinda hinted at it - in my family, you're basically considered a liar if you claim not to have any :V). You are from Germany aren't you? I didn't figure that a country like that would have any stupid laws like that.

Haha, I am somewhat open about stuff like that, I prefer it that way since I'm having a hard time imagining that there are people without porn anyway.
Also, I am from Germany, yes, but we've got ? 184 here, which prohibits the import of pornographic media of any kind. Looking through it, there's a lot of bogus in there, apparently giving someone pornographic media without having been asked to do so also makes me a criminal here. Can't believe that's the law in its latest version, but the only sentence in the past few years that has been made regarding this paragraph settled the question whether the recipient or the merchant selling it should be punished. Turns out it's the merchant, hurray.
Nonetheless, it seems like the items weren't even confiscated in that case.
Well, the paragraph hasn't been edited, but judging from my experience the large majority of customs officers either does not consider Hentai to be porn or simply doesn't care about that paragraph at all. At least I've received envelopes that had been opened by the customs, one or two Doujinshi inside with more than sexually explicit covers, but apparently they didn't care, so that paragraph is currently not being actively enforced, at least as long as nobody cares. Still leaves a bit of a risk, but I dare them to get between me and my porn.

Captured Maze of Love and Starbow Break for a first time!... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRQaYAAxWMQ)
In one run...
With Marisa...
On a first try...
From the bottom :o
This was my horribly failed first attempt on no-bombs EoSD extra after not touching it in a while. I decided i'm skilled enough to pull this, but failed. Though, i consider this as some good accomplishment.
-
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I wanna cry now. soooo damn close toooo. It hurts. it hurts a lot.....
at least I have this to show for my efforts:
No Death Mokou.
I got sooo f**king close to perfecting her, got clipped by a slight miscalculation during the final stage of Possessed by Phoenix.
if any one wants this replay.....let me know...
-
Well, I finally completed that Trial of Guts (IN Extra Clear yay~)
In other news, I somehow managed to survive ALL of that last fairy before Mokou with NO bombs. And stuff. So surprised. :V
-

Mokou was my first ex stage. I know how annoying that death fairy can be. nice job though. now if I could finish my goal I'm going for on her I'd be happy too. =)

In all seriousness, good luck with that. I still need to learn a few things (ie. supergrazing phase 2 of her survival rather than going in lopsided circles, pattern of last death fairy, capturing Hourai Doll)
Just a quick question, is the death fairy's bullet spread (along with the familiars) static?

I got past the Prismriver Sisters for the first time without having to continue! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19418)
I wonder how long it'll be before I get to clear PCB
Now to practice the hell out of that stage and the next
-
Okay, I've got a path down that can carry me to stage 4 of TD with no deaths. The only things I'll have to succesfully dodge are Endless Evening Cherry Blossoms, Kyouku's second nonspell, Yoshika's first nonspell, and Score Desire Eater. Everything else is trivial or can be bombed/tranced. Stage 5 can be cleared without dying as well as without really dodging anything. Stage 6 pretty much plays itself (stand on Miko and mash buttons lol) and there should only be three deaths there at the the maximum. As far as I am now concerned, stage 4 is the entirety of Ten Desires. A 90fps 1cc is just a matter of patience, persistence, and not playing like a prollyfister.
Still leaves a bit of a risk, but I dare them to get between me and my porn.
You're my hero.
-
PCB Normal, stage 6, let's see how many cards I can time out.
Okay, lasted 30 seconds into Ageless Obsession. Not bad.
Holy crap, did I just time out Lost Soul's Village?
HOLY FUCK DID I JUST TIME OUT DEADLY DANCE?
And oh wow, I just lasted a full minute in Sumizome Perfect Blossom to cap it all.
EDIT: Deadly Dance timeout now on Youtube! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEak15pgkcc)
-
Unlocked UFO lunatic stage 6 for practice. That was awful lot of bomb spamming.
Also, capture Superhuman. Is it seriously her easiest card? I'm getting slaughtered in absolutely everything else (well, 1st noncard and 3rd noncard I can do, but otherwise, literally everything). Should I even bother to try to improve those awful attacks for a 1cc?
-
The butterfly spell and the fourth nonspell are static. The butterfly thing at least should be a cakewalk once you've learned it. If you do well enough in the rest of the game, you can pretty much bomb everything she has and still 1cc (I know I did!), though LFS is immune so you'll want some experience with that.
-
It's been a while since I've done anything noteworthy, so here's something I feel extra smug about:
Seiga overdrive capture without leaving the center of the screen. (http://www.mediafire.com/?b1wdqjbzvnsdjak)
Seriously, I'm feeling rather :dragonforce: about pulling this off.
-
It's been a while since I've done anything noteworthy, so here's something I feel extra smug about:

That's so depressing, makes me sad that I was just now myself able to even capture it and I flailed my way around the screen to do it. Though when I saw the post at first i thought it was a no horizontal, then realized, oh yeah, that's completely impossible. Right?
-
Well, keep in mind that this took well over a hundred tries, and it took me over a hundred just to capture it my first try. This was more a silly self-imposed challenge for the crazy Donut, so don't feel depressed, 'k? ;^_^
And yes, that is definitely impossible. :P The way this card is designed, you would never ever be able to dodge everything without moving left or right, or even up and down.
-
Well, keep in mind that this took well over a hundred tries, and it took me over a hundred just to capture it my first try.
Really? Over a hundred tries for your first capture? I must have some crazy potential at Touhou cause it only took me like 40 tries for my first one. Although I usually watch a lot of youtube videos (how I learned about Touhou in the first place) so I've seen many strategies for how to capture difficult cards so for me it's more execution for me than discovering my own methods.

Oh. Glad you keep working on it. Can't wait another unhuman 90 fps video of my favourite game ;) I haven't played stage 4 at 90 fps, but on regular lunatic it's one of the easiest stages ever. The one wich always caused me lots of problems was stage 3. Futo could be bombspammed thanks to fairies right before her. Same for Miko, if you're good at getting bombs on stage, than it's the matter of 1 death maximum (at least with Marisa). XXCXCXXC you win! :)
-
Hmm, yeah that's a strange but cool way to handle that attack. Nice going Nut. Though seriously, gensokyo is your friend next time.
-
@Chalros22: Well, that may be. I captured it within 24 hours of the game being released, so I had to do it myself. :P
Holy crap! :o I've spent almost 300 attempts on it and still haven't captured yet. Also, what a perverted way to share a replay. Y U no use gensokyo.org, or upload this amazing thing on YT
For some reason the replay site refuses to upload it. :( Something about an error in my SQL syntax or something. Maybe if I track down my timeout of Futo's overdrive on the site I'll make a short video, and finally upload my all-focus capture of Fantasy Heaven with them as a compilation of sick captures.
Also Zengeku, what did you mean by "gensokyo is my friend next time?"
-
@Chalros22: Well, that may be. I captured it within 24 hours of the game being released, so I had to do it myself. :P
I kinda figured that was the case, though I guess I never realized how hard it is even for the most experienced players to determine effective techniques for the new patterns.
-
Also Zengeku, what did you mean by "gensokyo is my friend next time?"
That you should stick to uploading replays on the gensokyo.org replay uploader but I now understand that you had some difficulties with it. Though, you probably should slap it on the Tube or something. It was a very cool capture. As for your Futo overdrive timeout, I actually have that replay on my computer. I can upload it for you if you wish.

Nah, I just checked the site, and I have both the overdrive timeout and the Fantasy Heaven capture there. But of course, since my computer died a few months ago, I'll have to track down VirtualDub and MeGUI again...
EDIT: Actually, never mind, can you please upload the Futo overdrive? ;^^ Come to think of it, I think I had problems uploading that one too...
-
Glad to know that I'm not the only one that has trouble uploading Overdrive-replays (Zil had them as well as far as I remember). All my timeouts are still busy sitting on my external hard drive (though that actually saved them from the sudden death of my old PC).
Ordered a new keyboard, kinda hoping that all the movement-problems will be solved with it ('cause I've been naughty and haven't played at all for quite a few days because of them). Well... what can you expect from a keyboard that's been delivered with your new PC? Didn't even get to vent my Touhou-rage on it and it's already having issues. :V
Seiga overdrive capture without leaving the center of the screen.
Just saw it: wow, I can only congratulate you! ;) ... I'm nearly tempted to try that in a timeout but then I noticed that it's a stupid idea ... ... might try it somewhere far into the future.
Since I'm not planning to do anymore StB Ultra anytime soon: I've got two folders worth of replays (from a bit of Stage 3-4 up to Stage 10 with most of them cleared, all of them 60fps; some of them shown in Zengekus "screw that BS"-collection) but a.) I'm too lazy to upload them one-by-one, and b.) lack a YT-account.
Any interest if I put them into a rar so you just unpack the folders and rename them? I'll upload them in a bit regardless of what you guys (don't) say. :V It'd be less work for you (assuming that "you" as the "person that's interested" exists) too!
-
I'd like to see some of those captures. They might even inspire me to go and capture them legitimately too. I will of course just point out that the Ultra BS tas vid's does include a lot of cards that probably would be doable. However, around level 7 in StB and Level 9 in DS i just started to lose the interest so I figured I'd just make a TAS run of everything else from that point because I didn't feel like testing each card to see if they would be doable.
In other words, laziness in the purest sense of the word. So yeah, I would love to see those replays of yours. Sounds like an awesome watch.
As for you Donut, I couldn't upload it to the uploader either. I didn't know it was bugged. Well, have your replay through mediafire instead then. http://www.mediafire.com/?md7m828b8dnf29e
-
Time to boast! :V
(http://i42.tinypic.com/2vsrgxw.png)
So I finally captured each of those pesky Last Words at least once. I took much longer than I would have needed but I had looong breaks in between some of those captures. From those, Fantasy Heaven totally got on my nerves! But now I am finally free :derp:
Edit: Could it be TinyPic broke or something? `-`

Figured as much, I mean: if I can capture it, so can you. Just depends on how much effort you want to put into it (and I certainly needed a lot of effort for some spellcards...)
Most of Eirin's stuff (except for her first) are a cakewalk as are a few others but after 7-1 I can understand why you said "screw that". There are actually two non-captures of that card in the second folder... I tried to use replays to understand the third phase. I failed.
Heck, Chen's LOLRANDOMBULLETSPRAAAAY is more than enough reason. :V
I would love to see those replays of yours. Sounds like an awesome watch.
Don't expect too much (most of it is the "not too BS-stuff") though it honours me that you'd like to take a peak. If you want to see one of the most frustrating moments of my Touhou-career, "gaaah" in Ultra 2 is for you! 7-5 and 8-8 are not worth a replay so I didn't even save one (since both are just about the right timing)... and I ran out of space and didn't want to make a new folder.
Here you go. (http://www.mediafire.com/?o3gieelp1u1j7qf)
There is no naming scheme for those replays, I just typed what was on my mind. ... yeah. What is on somebody's mind after playing Ultra, right? A few of them are actually quite old (from before joining MotK).
Ultra 1 covers spellcards from Stage 3, 4, (hey, back then I thought they were pretty tough so I had to keep replays! :V) and some 5-8.
Ultra 2 covers spellcards from 5-10.
Of course you'll need the Ultra patch.
I challenge you folks, do what I failed to do in "gaaaahhhh". It's possible but I just.. don't want to put any more effort into it, for now at least (... [attachurl=1] ... granted, I took those over a period of 9 months but I'm probably just not good enough, at least not at this point).
Especially as long as I'm still getting used to keyboard controls.
-
Just went and cleared EoSD extra again (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19435) Now with Marisa A. It's been a while since my first and only clear with Reimu B, wich took me a lot of tries, and it's amazing how it's not a problem for me today.
This run is bad, ending 0/3 with only 3 spells captured, but now i've got even more motivation to go for no-bombs clear :3

So I finally captured each of those pesky Last Words at least once. I took much longer than I would have needed but I had looong breaks in between some of those captures. From those, Fantasy Heaven totally got on my nerves! But now I am finally free :derp:

I... am quite impressed at how well people apparently do at Ultra! I never really looked into it, but after watching some Scene 9 cards, I... gotta say it will take me a /long/ time to get there. :ohdear:
So do you captured #222 too?
I did! Even though I capped that one using Reimu solo. I thought focusing and having Yukari dodge Yukari's bullets would be paradox :V
And this one really took many tries, even though it's still about 50 less than #215...
-
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
I ALMOST captured ATTWBN and QED consecutively.
The ATTWBN capture was my first capture of the card. I think I'm able to do it semi-consistently nowadays, though.
QED... was a few rings away from ending. I'd say around 3 seconds. It was... unfortunate. ;-;

See my replay above for amazing QED failure :V
Meanwhile. Tried to no-bomb EoSD extra with Marisa A. Perfected the stage and all stuff till MoL. Game overed at the final seconds of ATTWBN! Oh man, so close :qq: Those damn Catadioptric and Counter Clock i always fail no matter how i try.

The balancing of StB Ultra is true to the original (= it's rather strange) so Stage 9 has several very easy cards and... yeah... ultra-stuff. I only managed to take care of the easy pickings.
Never mind reaching Stage 9, but can you catch up with my shots taken count of 12k without capturing it? THAT will take a lot of time, you might as well just capture it! :V
QED... was a few rings away from ending. I'd say around 3 seconds. It was... unfortunate. ;-;
Story of my life.

Okay fuck that
Not putting this in the rage thread because this is a sort-of achievement i guess but
I
gameover'd
to
QED
with
a
SLIVER
of
life
left
on
the
card
after another death a few waves earlier
after coming with 1 life to the card
in a no-bombs run
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
this run saw another cap of ATTWBN, too, and a rather fancy one at that
deaths were on: phil stone, starbow break, catadioptric, qed, qed
that -catadi... whatever the name is- death is the one that cost me the run, definitely. i usually cap it, but i went for a risky move, and died for it.

I think I'll check out those StB Ultra scenes as well. That's one of the few Ultras I actually have, so maybe I'll try my hand at... that spell.
I'm hoping to get absurdly lucky and capture it in about 5 tries.

If you're talking about 9-6, may ZUN have mercy on your soul. Good luck with that one I remember taking about 4 hours to beat that normally.

I decided to try to capture Legendary Flying Saucer. (see rage thread)
I haven't gotten it yet, but I got Omen in Purple Mist (hard)
Throw in a St. Nikou's Air Scroll capture for good measure.
-
After two separate breaks from shmups I finally have gotten my groove back. PCB Normal 1cc ending 3/0 and a new personal best score. Also ended with a flourish by completely screwing up every one of Yuyuko's cards only to end up capping Resurrection Butterfly 30%. :V
-
So, I managed to perfect the entirety of Stage 6 EoSD Normal (I even decided to try safespotting Eternal Meek and succeeded, never having tried it before). Captured every spell Remilia threw at me, and even managed to avoid the fuckery that is Scarlet Shoot.
Of course, it's after I used a continue on Sakuya's stage and decided to keep going just for the practice. So much for a replay.
-
10D Extra 1cc. Finally. Wasn't the greatest of runs but I cleared it.
Will be back when I either 1cc 10D Lunatic or NDNB Extra.
-
There we go.
EoSD Extra No Bombs (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19442)
Capped Patchouli. Derped on Cranberry Trap which is, well, kinda bad considering I've already learned how to NOT derp on it. Derped on Four of a Kind.... which might be the card I've died the least to from ALL THE CARDS IN THE STAGE. Yeah, I was kinda mad but pressed on anyways.
Died on Starbow Break when I literally needed one more microsecond under Flan to cap it.
DIDN'T derp on Catadioptric OR Counterclock, which made me happy.
Capped ATTWBN.
Died once on QED. Performance was well so that death left me exactly enough time to end the card.
Yaaaaaayyyy.

Crap. Game over to Miko's third nonspell. I could have bombed it, but I hoped to capture it then bomb Chaotic Dance, trance the next nonspell, and then... improvise.
Anyway, it's my best run yet, and thankfully full of stupidity, which means I can improve and that the victory is clearly within reach.
-
Got to Stage 5 Lunatic EoSD with MarisaA without continuing out of fucking nowhere.

UFO Ultra Easy 1cc GET :toot:
I at least plan on getting 1cc's for EoSD, PCB, MoF, and GFW before moving up to Ultra Normal. Good luck to myself?

UFO Extra Ultra clear. I don't recall whether I've played it before or not but one thing's for sure. I didn't remember it very well. It was fun. Some of the stuff wasn't really changed much like that green-laser snake card or the Danmaku Chimera. Grudge Bow didn't feel too different either but some other cards were made more entertaining and the stage portion was fun too.
It was a very easy victory though. I messed up my UFO chains and got less lives than what would be ideal but I still cleared with an extra life in stock. I'm thinking about improving that run and maybe slapping on a no-UFO condition or maybe trying to clear it without dying.
-
UFO Stage 6 Lunatic perfect run! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19460)
Hellz yeah! This has to be one of the steadiest roads of improvement I've experienced with Touhou - mastering one attack at a time and feeling very satisfied when getting another step closer. And seeing how frequently I was starting to capture everything before LFS recently, I knew it was only a matter of time.
I must give thanks to Disturbed (and a bunch of other bands, but mostly Disturbed) for having awesome songs to play in the background while grinding the stage portion. I would have lost my mind otherwise. :V
-
The biggest accomplishment is probably surviving the stage portion. Congratulations.
-
Nicely done Funen. I've played other music when practicing that stage as well. It can make you lose more than just your mind.
-
Wow, nicely done indeed, congratulations!
-
It's times like this I'm glad I suck at Touhou.
I can feel good about myself whenever I 1CC normal.
Worse job on Murasa than Shou, oddly.
Shou's nonspells didn't wipe me and there were some awful derps on literally all of Murasa's cards.
Also, capped Nazrin's midboss card.
Capped most of Byakuren's fight. (Including Devil's Recitation!)
And finish with 280m. I only summoned like one or two blue UFOs ^^;
Also, this was with SanaeB, so I don't have to grind the Extra Stage with ReimuA anymore! :toot:

Nice! Byakuren was my final perfect, and I know how draining she can be when aiming for perfection, so feel dang proud at your accomplishment.

That reminds me since I meant to ask before, when you did all your perfects, did you include all the variations of bosses like Patchy/Prisms/Satori?
-

To quote your personal text: AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Nah, for my sanity, I decided that just perfecting one form would do. I perfected Reimu A Patchy, Marisa Prismrivers, and Reimu A Satori, if you were curious. I did however capture all of Patchouli and Satori's spell cards across the types on lunatic.
-
You guys, how long has Remilia been the easiest final boss on Normal?
Random S6 run for the lulz and suddenly ND1B FINAL BOSS.
The one bomb was on Red Magic because I've only seen that card twice >_<
-
So I like practicing Lunatic Remilia for fun lately.
Perfect stage portion (aka Eternal Meek cap)
Cap EVERYTHING UP TO MEISTER
Get walled and waste a bomb on Meister
So far, ND1B Stage 6 Lunatic.
Then I die three times on Scarlet Gensokyo.
...
...
...
:V
Still an achievement. Damn.
-
Okay, so after a ridiculous number of attempts at 90FPS MoF Hard (seriously my history on Shizuha's card is something like 68/76), I'd just about given up on Touhou entirely. It was just enraging me and driving me to despair.
But then I decided to play Marine Benefit for a while. Messed around with the extra boss...and I actually had fun doing it. what is this strange feeling
So I guess...I guess I've got my love of the game back.
Oh yeah, and I recorded a capture of Gathering Void -White- (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bK6og105Wjw). That helps.

Get used to that, if you plan on taking on Remilia. It is not uncommon to perfect up to scarlet meister, and then ruin everything. I pray you fare better at it than I did (hint: History of Scarlet Meister hovers around 11/450).
-
I had the impression that capping everything up to Meister isn't a rarity if you want to perfect her. I don't, though (at least right now!), so capturing Eternal Meek + Young Demon Lord + Red Magic doesn't happen often.
-
My above accomplishment is now on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJps8LOuw18).
The accomplishment for this post is remembering how I'm supposed to record these videos lol. :V
-
I consider this is nice accomplishment on my part. I just went on to my PCB which was recently COMPLETELY wiped of all my data (sobsob...), and managed to get to stage 5 on Hard :D Plus I captured Stygian Riverside and Revised Concerto or whatever that spellcard is called. With Marisa. First try. :D (Sure, maybe it's beginner's luck xD, but all things have a bit of luck to it, good or bad)
-
Finally, after too many tries, EoSD Hard 1CC :D
I thought I was going to take it easily by the time I got to Remilia, but I somehow died twice on Young Demon Lord (not sure how I got hit, I thought the lasers don't spawn that quickly?) and ended up clearing Scarlet Gensokyo with 0/0. A lot of dumb mistakes but I got it done anyways.

I finally beat Ten Desires at 90fps! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19496)
I'll have it on youtube once it's recorded and all that. I suppose UFO will be next, after a short break from this nonsense.
-
EoSD Stage 6 Normal 0d3b (One bomb to Scarlet Shoot, the other two to Red Magic. That card still scares me :c) with MarisaA. When I perfect her, I'm gonna try Lunatic again. :V
EDIT: SWEET FAIRIES IN BOTTLES I DID IT
I 1cc'd EoSD on Hard! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19499)
Honestly this run went really well until I died to Meiling's first actual fight spellcard and died a little inside. Then I died four times to Sakuya if I'm correct, maybe three.
However one honorable mention:
I CAPTURED ETERNAL MEEK ON MY FIRST TRY :V
-
First captures of Lunatic Medoteko and VoWG in the same run. Only Source of Rains left, which always seems to be the last one of Kanako's spellcards I capture at every difficulty. Good times.

it was pcb which is marginally easier but OH WELL

Okay, Ten Desires 90fps Lunatic 1cc is on Youtube. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taJcMXiwIVQ)
An unplanned bomb in stage 3, though 4 went pretty well. Stage 5 was a mess, and 6 was the only thing it ever is. As I entered Miko's final spell, I realized I had not even played it since my first 1cc a couple months ago, but I was lucky enough to not screw myself over.
Altogether it was surprisingly difficult. Thank you, MMX, for getting me to do it. :D
And congrats to you guys beating Hard mode three in a row like that. BV

First Lunatic 1cc!!! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19513)
Mountain of Faith ReimuB.
Technically it isn't, because 6 months ago I beat it with MarisaB, but declaring that as first Lunatic 1cc is uncool.
It's been about 4 years and 8 months since I've got to know the Touhou series and the games.
I once thought that "Icicle Fall" was the hardest spellcard in th06 Easy.
I once executed every game up to th12 just to slow down the computer so I could beat th11 Normal.
I once thought that the yellow bullets in "The Autumn Sky and a Maiden's Heart" in th10 Hard was the fastest bullets in the series.
It all sounds so distant, and I sure improved a lot between the years.
When will I ever beat th12 Hard with ReimuB/MarisaA/MarisaB ?

Whee, that looks awfully fast, congratulations!
Congratulations to all the other guys as well!
Improved my High Score against Mamizou a little, though it was just a survival run, still wanted to do another run against her (couldn't win at all until this one run for some reason). Mostly flawless battle until that Island Spellcard thing with only the birds and dogs, think I blew four Bombs there, because screw letting my success hinge on dogs and birds whose ability to run in straight lines seems to be on par with that of my dog back home.
Managed to recover from that, but got hit completely unexpectedly by a bullet I did't even see during the other Spellcard where she transforms into Reimu. At least I got through the rest with an acceptable loss of resources, 1 Bomb for Survival, 1 Extra Life and 2 Bombs for her last Spellcard. Not complaining, good enough for my purposes.
Edit: Turns out I bumped into a frog there, I did see it, I just didn't realize I'd actually be clumsy enough to do that, splendid.
-
Finally did 9-1 with Hatate, got my 8th shot in less than a second before it would have timed out. 10-4 is severely hyped up compared to this, that one was the first or second one I did with her. >_>
-
YES YES YES I DID IT I DID IT I BEAT 8-4 FUCK YOU OKUU FUCK YOU AYA I'M DONE I FINALLY GET TO RELAX AND GO TO SOMETHING LIKELY EASIER LIKE... 8-6...
FUCK.
-
8-6 is easy. >_> <_<
8-8 wins the award of hardest easy card, so so simple but every time I reached 4 shots I'd do something stupid.
Just cleared all of level 8 with Hatate though, so still an accomplishment. 8-7 can still die.

I recaptured Radiant Treasure Gun on Lunatic, and at 2.xx Power too.
Don't ask why I was playing that stage at all. Even I'm not sure.

God, I'm still shaking! I finally cleared EoSD at default settings on Normal (I 1CCed it with 5 lives months ago). Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19540) here.
After getting off to a great start and perfecting Stages 1 and 2 with the highest scores I've ever gotten, I figured I'd see the run to completion. I graze-farmed a lot of early nonspells for kicks, three-bombed Meiling (one of them was because my friend said "BOO!" behind me while I was fighting her and it triggered my bomb finger, lol), lost two lives on Patchouli, bombed the hell out of Sakuya after almost capturing several of her spells but dying, and then braced for Stage 6 with 2 lives and 1 bomb. Somehow, I lost one life while SAFESPOTTING her Scarlet Shoot-like nonspell... and then another during the "needle" phase of her final nonspell (the three-tiered one with bubbles and fireballs). I almost captured Scarlet Shoot but had to bomb it near the end for safety, leaving a whole one bomb for Red Magic. I figured I'd try to save it until at least halfway through the spell and go figure, within the first ten seconds I had to use it because I wasn't paying attention to the "sway" of the bullets as they got swept off the screen and got walled. The next 30-45 seconds was terrifying, but somehow I managed to survive with no lives and no bombs left. SO MUCH FUN!
Now I feel like I can honestly take on Flandre fairly.

From Ammy's new Touhou challenge thread, a GFW Lunatic no-bombs 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19579), something I've never really thought of doing before (there are still a ton of attacks in this game I'd consider as autobombs),
You'll notice I activated this glitch where the game doesn't end after the very last card (happens when you kill a supporting fairy and the leader at the same time with your ice), but I still count this as a clear.

As I mentioned before, I still have no idea what's compelling me to practice UFO Stage 5 Lunatic now. Maybe an unconscious desire to get it out of the way so I can never play UFO again. No clue.
UFO Stage 5 Lunatic 2DNB run (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19596), deaths on Greatest Treasure and Vajra. I attribute any current captures of Shou's second nonspell to luck - is there anything in that attack to even "read" properly?

Ah, another joins the crew of UFO lunatic 1CC's. Great job over there, Kanon! I should probably play some UFO easy, but I somehow mess it up every time I try to clear it.
Nice work by IHNN, Funen, and Chisou aswell! Achievements are always worth a lot, and there's no need to be envious over whatever lunatic 1CC or WR or such. One's largest foe in scoring - and challenges - is always oneself, not some western (or eastern) superplayer. Lunatic UFO NDNBNUFO by shin was great, it was a huge achievement indeed. Meanwhile, I got 1.5b Yuyuko IN easy and was happy with it. It was an achievement to me, as much as the UFO lunatic NDNBNUFO was an achievement to shin. You should never let your dreams be crushed by someone else achieving hard stuff faster than you, being bad is only a misconception that comes from that point of view. We all have different goals, different points of view towards our Touhou skills. - UFO lunatic is as great to someone as first 1CC on easy to someone.
-
Another UFO Lunatic clear. That makes me happy. Congratulations.
I attribute any current captures of Shou's second nonspell to luck - is there anything in that attack to even "read" properly?
It's just a matter of reaction time. However, for the first two waves, the lasers comes in from one side at a time. Knowing this you can at least predict the direction from which the lasers are coming. However, it's only very basic knowledge about the attack. It won't save you from poor reaction time. It's kind of annoying in that way since reaction time is something that is really hard to practice.
Good luck with perfecting the stage.

This was fun! But I want to capture Chen's first card! :V

Appropriate for the thread, I've done something I think I can be pretty happy with, all things considered. Inspired by Nitori's Challenges, I ended up fighting Yuyuko(PCB) on Easy(not for a challenge there though). Why's this in this thread then?
Pacifist No-Bombs clear. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19620)
I shouldn't have lost nearly as many lives as I did, but I managed to lose a life to Youmu of all things, as well as to Yuyu's opener. Her second spell trashed me, and then there was Sumizome Perfect Blossom. That one gets pretty hairy even on Easy if you leave it sit long enough, or at least that's my take on it. Wound up having to cap 10% in order to get the clear.
Thinking I'll try and upload a run sometime where I manage to paci-cap all her spells at least, save for Sumizome. I'm not sure I can handle that one just yet as a pacifist run.

Straight from "Nitori's challenge" thread goes my Ten desires easy no-bombs, no-focus 1CC with Youmu (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19622)

My first IN 1CC on Normal (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19641)
Here's some fun facts:
1: I used the Magic Team, just for a lolrun. I expected to completely fail.
2: I have never even made it to Boss Reimu with the Magic Team before
3: I really need to start respecting the magic team more.
4: That derpy death on the bubble nonspell against Eirin was due to a keyboard fart, not wanting to accept me pressing X. Despite me stopping shooting. If it wasn't for that I would have finished 1/0 or 1/1 probobly, instead of 0/3.
5: How on earth can I clear IN with the Magic Team and not with Border, Netherworld, or Scarlet?
6: The Device derp is because I've only made it that far with Scarlet, and Eirin dies before the 2nd revolution is over with them.
7: This is an awful run tbh. Anyone planning to 1CC IN, don't take tips from me.

Congrats on that. You should be less surprised though since just having a lot more experience with the game can make a lot of the it easier even when using a different team since everything is always the same except (maybe) the stage 4 boss. Like for example today I was doing the Nitori challenge from the new thread and cleared IN normal with solo Marisa no focus. I've barely even touched stage 4A and just from my general experience with the game I was still able to do pretty well.
-
My first 1cc of SA on easy (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19663).
Feels like I should have been able to no-death it, but I fucked up at some easy parts.
-
Another 'perfect' Shou match. :D
I didn't die nor bomb but i still failed that piece of shit Aura of Light. This time by running out the timer. I still call it a perfect though because I don't the fuck care about that spell. It sucks.
I also did a 1-miss timeout of VoWG. The death was a pretty dumb one but yeah, still fun attack.
-
My first IN 1CC on Normal (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19641)
Here's some fun facts:
1: I used the Magic Team, just for a lolrun. I expected to completely fail.
I'm curious - what is supposedly wrong with Magic Team? I've have great times with them. Alice's bomb is weak and Marisa's a little jumpy, but apart from that I have no complaints (especially as I hate fighting Stage 4 Marisa and her starstarstarstarstars).

They're the only team who doesn't have a shot that isn't in front of them (forward only)

This is bad? I mean, maybe if you need homing shots or something, but that hasn't been an issue for me in IN.

The majority of the problem is the focus shot being too weak in comparison to others.
-
The majority of the problem is the focus shot being too weak in comparison to others.
And the complete lack of range. You have to be almost right in line with Alice to do any damage at all. It makes any card where the boss moves a lot significantly harder than they are for every other team, not to mention the stages. Stage 3~6 you're normally Youkai for most of it. Yukari and Yuyuko both have massive range [the former due to Ran], and can wipe out the faries before they shoot too much. Remillia can do the same, if she splits her firepower, and even then, Sakuya's pretty good for weaker fairies that don't have familiars. Alice? Aside from having lower damage than Remillia, she has lower range too.
Marisa's range isn't much better unless at full power, and even then 6 speed means fat chance using her in later stage boss fights.
Oh, and their Deathbombs are basically the same bombs as normal bombs, but eat 2 bombs. Final Spark dosen't have much of a damage increase [Does it even have one?] and Both of Alice's cards are just screenclears.
But at least they get by far the easier Stage 4 boss.
Alice is by far the worst Youkai character in the game. And Marisa's only calling is her sheer power.
-
The majority of the problem is the focus shot being too weak in comparison to others.
Yeah, Alice's shot is bullshit. I pretty much see Magic Team as Marisa, with a choice of two types of bombs. Still, I've had my best runs with Magic Team.
I actually started with Ghost Team, which was hilarious. Then I was advised to use Border Team. I do OK with them, provided I can make it through Marisa on Stage 4.
-
So I tried out IN Lunatic Ultra Mode. I reached Hourai Jewel on my 2nd attempt. There were a few stupid mistakes throughout the run but made some really lucky dodges. I guess a 1cc is possible if you have enough resources for Hourai Jewel.

There are many reasons not to use magic team. They are not as powerful as for example Remilia or Yukari and their range sucks which makes stages needlessly harder. The master spark bomb slows down your character which makes it harder to reach the PoC in time to collect all the points on screen and Alice's bomb lacks power.
If those reasons in themselves weren't enough, you also need to take into consideration what the alternatives are. Raw power provided you know where to put your familiars? There's the Scarlet Team for that. Ghost Team for whatever good they do, they are there for that. (I don't use them but at least they have range) and Border Team which is useful for basically every situation and have good bombs.
And here's a more personal reason too: I find Marisa's boss fight to be a far more entertaining than Reimu. Even if she only really have one difficult spell, she still makes up for that with her non-spells.
-
This is probably the derpiest 1cc I've ever done.
Not much of an achievement considering what I went through and did a few days ago.
BUT, I've finally read the canon ending!!
UFO Normal Marisa B 1cc
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19674
Funny how I ended that run 0/0, even less than my lunatic 1cc :colonveeplusalpha:
Marisa B is the BEST shot type!!
-
I actually started with Ghost Team
I did as well. 1cced every difficulty except extra and hard with them first (yes that includes lunatic).
This is probably the derpiest 1cc I've ever done.
MarisaB normal UFO...took me 8 tries. Compare to ONE for all other shot types after the first 1cc. (MarisaA: first try ever, 1cc, first UFO normal 1cc)
-
MarisaB normal UFO...took me 8 tries. Compare to ONE for all other shot types after the first 1cc. (MarisaA: first try ever, 1cc, first UFO normal 1cc)
That Marisa B run took a total of 2 tries. :3
The first try didn't make it pass Ichirin for some reason :V
Before that I started a Reimu A run that somehow gameover'd.
This really belongs to the derp thread.
-
Just beat Yukari on the Ultra Mode patch at 90 FPS....holy shit, that was the biggest rush ever......my hands are still shaking from the experience.

Today is a glorious day.
I finally, finally captured Vajra of Perfect Buddhism (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19688).
Of course I fucked up elsewhere in the stage. What are you crazy? :3
-
I finally, finally captured Vajra of Perfect Buddhism.
How many tries did it take?
-
Excellent work!
I've seen that card once, and only once (That's the Lunatic version, right?) and it scares me :<
I captured it on Easy though! :]
Wait, Easy or Normal, I forget which.
-
Made it to Suwako's fifth spell with MarisaB no horizontal without getting the last extend :3 Totally TASsible.
-
PoDD!
Reached Rikako as Yumemi without using bombs. The deaths to Rikako were my fault, but Ellen went apeshit on me. And in a different run...
6,660,000 points after the first round. I was playing as Chiyuri of course. Also the general misadventures associated with playing as Chiyuri. God I love this game.
-
Post the replay! :3
Unfortunately, I can't. It desynced somehow. OTL
-
Yeah, the ultra patch's Phantasm replays seemed to desynch with me aswell, so I had to record a live run (which obviously lead into me panicin' and making mistakes), when I was doing it. However, it'd be awesome to see a 90fps version of that, so -if you want to do it again - record a live run of it :V
-
Ten Desires Stage 5 normal perfect pacifist (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzzK_fKeQko)
I've got lots and lots of derps while doing this. But this stage is still 314159265 times easier that SA stage 5 :V
-
But this stage is still 314159265 times easier that SA stage 5 :V
I was like what is that number - Oh lol
-
Yeah man!! Got myself a pseudo-perfect SA Stage 5 Lunatic run. By pseudo-perfect I mean, yeah I did use two bombs in the early part of the stage but that part is so piss easy that I don't really care. For me, perfecting things really just means capturing everything that is hard. It's kinda like when Donut perfected Marisa but failed the last spell. :V
I know that purists would probably not consider this true perfection and they'd probably also be right but it captured everything that matters. The midboss attacks, the popcorn hell following it and of course a perfect boss fight.
Now I'm just happy that I'm not Esupanitix because then those two bombs would probably have sent this over to the rage thread instead. :V
For those interested to know, the bombs used where at the very beginning and a death-bomb at the section following it. As I said, both are pathetic and I usually only restart practice runs if I fuck up something that takes skill to capture like Catwalk. In any case, I'm satisfied.
-

Late post compared to time of accomplishment, but in my (1) efforts of (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19572)(2) 1LC'ing MoF (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19619)(3) this run has scored higher than I ever have in this game, for any difficulty. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19687)
Run 1 - 505,740,990
Run 2 - 538,476,100
Run 3 - 716,659,850
and yes, they're all failures. Still an accomplishment.
-
Sweet Jesus on a flying pogo stick, I finally timed out Wriggle's Last Word. It shouldn't have taken so many tries.
Now only one remains. I got it down to 2 seconds a while ago, only to learn that the glowing shit Youmu creates when she charges at you kills you when you touch it.
-
1b in PCB Hard! I'm quite excited, it's my first 1b score outside of IN! :*
-
Now only one remains. I got it down to 2 seconds a while ago, only to learn that the glowing shit Youmu creates when she charges at you kills you when you touch it.
Done. All Last Words timed out. I can't find any other replays of some of these so as far as I can tell I'm the first person who ever did this, which is kind of surprising. :wat:
I suppose a Youtube video is in order. These were much tougher than the TD overdrives.

Nice job man! I bet that too a lot of effort to pull off, especially some of the harder ones. I've managed o capture a few myself but I wouldn't even dream of timing them out right now. Maybe in a couple years lol
-
My best IN Lunatic run to date. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19725)
3 deaths, 1 bomb, failed one spellcard which is Salamander shield, one of the easiest spellcards in the game. I could probably perfect this game but there are a few nonspells I'm worried of and then there's Kaguya.
Edit: Oops, failed two spellcards actually, the other one is Mystia's last spell.
-
I see an inconsistency.
I don't. The first bomb was placed right at the start and is usually part of what I do on a 1cc run to better my score. The second one was an actual mistake yeah and it is pretty pathetic but like I said, that stage is slow and boring. And difficult (as in, a brief part of it is) - so I don't like it which is why I didn't feel like restarting.

I got Youmu's down to some 20 or 30 seconds. It was a fun card but the slow down became a bit too tedious for me. Good job. Maybe I'll do do it and Mystias and get everything timed out too. Oh and of course they were harder than the overdrives. It is a much more competent game after all. So yeah, put up a vid.
-
I did a few more SA Extra attempts using ReimuC under the no shot/bomb/focus/vertical movement conditions. Here's the best attempt (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19736) so far. It has some silly lucky dodges and a no miss timeout of Esoterica "Nine Syllable Stabs". This was only my 25th time getting to Sanae (restart if I die twice in the stage).
-edit-
Yes! I managed to no miss the pre-midboss stage portion! Game over on miracle fruit again...
-

Nice job. Now capture them all with Youmu solo without focus, and start uploading sets of different last word challenges to your youtube!
Anyway, I think I've seen SP timeout the rest, aside from Mystia's and Youmu's cards. For Mystia, your timeout is the only one I've seen this far, but T actually timed out Youmu's one afternoon, after finding a way to majorly cheese the bullshitty turning shitwaves that started around 60 to 70s of card left by running from left side to right side between every slash.
Nice job, anyway. I'll be waiting for the video, it'll most likely be my 10th favourite on Youtube :V
-
I managed to get up to Vampire Illusion in an EoSD Lunatic 1cc attempt. Still no where near to beating it though; I probably need at least 2 lives going into Scarlet Gensokyo. But hey, at least I got further than I did last time.
-
Oh, my, god, I remember when Glimmer would complain about not final bosses on lunatic
why am I the slowest advancing player
Also, I captured Charming Siege.
With Marisa >_>
-
Captured 10-5 in StB after a relatively small 324 shots. Only 4 scenes uncleared now.
-

Ohoho, interesting! That's certainly not what I did. Not a chance!
Anyway, here's the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QvScoAhCMU
Hopefully Youtube won't freak out on me becuase I put some different songs in place of the Last word theme, and thanks for the support, eveyone who congratulated me.
-
After taking a massive break (due to loss of motivation and school) i think i can still retain this as an accomplishment: Playing practice on lunatic level, EoSD boss wasn't too bad! nor was MoF just practice is all it takes! lost 3 lives on EoSD Stg6, and 4 lives on MoF Stg6, VowG is a wall whore, but quite fun with dodging.
-

No, the slowest advanceing player is me. I've been here what, 5 months now? And I can only 1CC TD and IN Normal, the latter nowhere near consistantly.

I've been playing for 30 months and I just now am elevating up to Hard 1CCs- PCB and that's it.

UFO Stage 5 Luantic 1DNBNUFO run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19750)
Simultaneous rage and accomplishment here. I'm happy that I'm still making progress (as far as the RNG lets me, at least), but that death on Vajra was stupid. I hate the jellybean hitboxes so much. And no, not just because it denied me this run, I hate them everywhere. They're too wonky.
This one is so close I can smell it. C'mon Children of Bodom, keep on fueling me as I continue to grind this.
-
I've been playing for 30 months and I just now am elevating up to Hard 1CCs- PCB and that's it.
Eh, are you having fun playing? Cheesy to say, but...If you are, that's all that really counts, right? Don't worry about how fast you advance; just enjoy the ride, ne?
-
Of course I'm having fun. I'm playing Touhou.
I'd just have more fun if I sucked less and were more fluent at Lunatic mode.
I can pretty consistently get to Stage 6 on Hard across the spectrum and also to Stage 4 on Lunatic mode.
So I guess that's an achievement?
-
Imperishable Shooting with Remilia Solo, 1,938 graze. Sorry, no replay :(
2,000 may be possible with perfect control.
-
Okay, more of a personal accomplishment and milestone.
This (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19755) was the last thing I did with the analog stick. Eiki went down in the third round.
This (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19756) is the first thing I finally managed after switching to the keyboard & my "movement-hand". Eiki went down in the second round.
Time to move on, enough whining about technical difficulties - just like in PoFV's story... kinda.
At least not everything changed: I still suck at scoring in this game. :V
-
The road was long and riddled with resets, but I finally got my 1cc of SA Hard.
Now I will proceed to never play stage 1 all of SA again until I'm not sick of it anymore.
No. 1 Horror "Well-bucket-dropping Monster" 57/66
No. 5 Spider "Cave Spider's Nest" 24/26
Could be worse, but could have been a lot better. I think the former was at 13 or 14 when I did my first 1cc-intended run, which got me to Giga Flare. >_>

Evidently. Where is Mamizou?
-
and also what about Marisa? NDNB GFW extra stage would be cool to see done (also it's an extra stage so DO IT).
Evidently. Where is Mamizou?
Too hard.
Nonsense. Mamizou's spells took me the least tries to get of any extra boss (well, of the ones I've bothered to capture everything from anyway), and she has among the easiest nonspells. The stage isn't even that bad either.
-
Well yeah, I guess Fairy Wars Extra never really has been perfected. Odd really. It just seems to be a question of figure out the pattern and do it. I guess the game is just being neglected by everyone.
-
What does Fairy Wars perfect mean, anyway? Is it no-ice, or just no perfect freeze, or just no deaths?
-
What does Fairy Wars perfect mean, anyway? Is it no-ice, or just no perfect freeze, or just no deaths?
I'd assume NDNB (NDNPF?) (NMD*NPF?)
*no motivation down
-
No-icing Fairy Wars and expecting anything to be perfect is absolutely laughable. You can perhabs gold some of the spellcards but there are pretty much always something that is absolutely impossible.
The game is designed around freezing stuff so a perfect would be winning without using bombs and without dying. However, freezing can't really be helped. As for GFW, i could refer to Marisa but just look at the stage and you'll see plenty of reason. Its a shame really.
-
I don't think it's possible to "no-ice" Big Crunch, so even if you ignore the stage it's impossible. I would consider a run with no deaths or bombs to be "perfect." I wouldn't count getting hit by the beams as being a failure since you're depending on the bullets forming as solid wall, which is completely beyond your control, and it's unavoidable just as the final spell ends since all the bullets disappear before the beam.
-
Yeah, screw the flashlights. As long as you don't take a direct hit then you're fine.
Now who are we forcing to do this huh? ;)
Donut, did you ever perfect EX Marisa? >:D
-
Now who are we forcing to do this huh? ;)
I think there aren't too many people mad enough to do it V:
And, I watched A no deaths run (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=9958), but it has quite a few bombs. I'm quite sure Heartbeam uses most of those bombs just for scoring, but there are some that I'm not quite sure of. Are you sure that all of it is NDNB'able, like some of the noncards, or the stage?
Zil, get on IRC you :V
-
Are you sure that all of it is NDNB'able, like some of the noncards, or the stage?
All the nonspells are, if you can react fast enough.
All stage parts are, I have done so in my ~40 tries to clear the stage (a dozen reached Marisa) independently.
I have silvers on Marisa's 1st, 2nd, 5th and 8th, FormlessGod has a gold/timeout of her 10th, I've successfully timed out her 3rd NDNB once (nearly a capture), her 7th isn't that hard, I bombed to avoid motivation loss though, leaving Big Crunch, Open Universe and the survival.
From there, FormlessGod dodged 2 waves of Open Universe without ice, so it's capturable, I've avoided (with ice) a full cycle of Big Crunch, so likewise. This leaves the survival, which is rather sparse, so I don't see any real issues getting a silver or better on it.
-
Are you sure that all of it is NDNB'able, like some of the noncards, or the stage?
Absolutely. It just 'requires' freeze.
-
The conversation in here made me 'fire up' (... I'm sorry) GFW again.
A1 Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19777) Sure, just A1 but really: I'm satisfied with that, even with all those mistakes (can't have it all I suppose). Then again this game is really forgiving; so forgiving that it overlooked that bullet that totally hit me right at the end of stage 3 (just before the bossfight, I don't want to know how by how many frames I got saved there).
Back in the days (= watching gameplay-videos on Youtube) I actually thought that this is the hardest Touhou-game ever. :V
-
Nice, congratulations!
Also starting to get the hang of GFW I think, A1 and A2 clear on Normal, wonder how much worse things get on Hard and Lunatic, wonderful game, though. Also saw Cirno at max power for the first time, crazy steroids.
-
It gets easier on Lunatic. Well no, but the freezing mechanic actually works how it's supposed to, and you get even more bombs and lives. On Normal the bullets are so sparse and slow that you can never freeze a lot at once, nor can you graze for a quick recharge.
-

I see, figured it would turn out like that, though I'm still concerned about some parts with lots of those fiery balls of death. Oh, well, we'll see, more Bombs, more fun.
-

It took me so long to recognize the death-bullets as (sometimes treacherous) allies in the fight against the evil derplords of fairyville, I actually feel ashamed.
Nice, congratulations!

Thanks! Though from what I've heard (and seen) about your Touhou-exploits you might as well just go for Lunatic, mostly for what Zil already pointed out (and to get used to the death-bullets). ;)

Well, that difficulty offers you the ability to actually dodge stuff. Most of it actually. So it kinda compensates.

Complete with almost 200m score, and survival capture, and horrible (read: 2 death) Kogasa fight!
Oh and 8 spell captures (missed Kogasa's 2nd and 3rd, and also Nue's 4th, 7th and 10th)
All extras cleared with all shot types now except...SA MarisaA.
-
I spent the day playing PoFV. Submitted a few scores, got some cool dodges against Eiki, remembered why I like this game. Forget what I said in that other thread, PoFV turns me on in a way that no other Windows game can.
Sorry Zengeku, I guess I have weird tastes. :D
-
wat
also why no replay
Because I like spamming Z and I think "no" means "yes".
Anyway, take an 1,850 graze run instead. http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=19797
Getting a high 300 on the first two waves is a nightmare.

Sorry Zengeku, I guess I have weird tastes. :D
Don't worry, I've got some electrodes and a record player with the soundtrack right here. We can change your tastes anyday. Until I find you though, just have fun with it. :V

As of today I've been playing Touhou for a year.
:toot: :toot: :toot: :toot: :toot:
Have a video 'look back' I put together: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSYUM_OLgsY
Yes I consider this an accomplishment because a lot of things I lose interest in, but not Touhou.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSYUM_OLgsY
That's amazing how much you've been able to do in a year. I've been playing for a little more (I think I started about 3 months before you) and I haven't even cleared hard in all the games, let alone do as much as you. At this point I have all the extras, all normal and hard except for SA and UFO. I've been having a lot of trouble moving up to lunatic in any of the games, but I attribute that more to not playing very consistently. Good luck on clearing the rest of the modes you have left, hopefully it's not filled with too much rage.

PoDD Reimu 1cc. That makes Reimu, Mima, Rikako, Chiyuri, and Yumemi, though I'll probably want to redo Chiyuri and Mima since they were kinda cheesy. So basically, I've done all the broken characters. :V
I'm not sure if I want to put this on Youtube. I'll have to look it over and see how cool it is.
As of today I've been playing Touhou for a year.
:toot: :toot: :toot: :toot: :toot:
Congrats. It seems most people take more than a year to clear Lunatic, so you're ahead of the game. ;)

It took me over a year to (finally) clear UFO on Normal :getdown: I wish it took me less than a year to clear a game on Lunatic. Congrats, I have no name :toot:
Yet again, I probably would've cleared UFO Normal sooner if I didn't decide to throw in planned Blues during my summons (Stages 3-6), sacrificing the chance to get an extra life/bomb.

UFO Extra clear! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19817) All but FW and SoEW are done now, and I don't really care about those two :V. I still think Nue is by far the hardest ex-boss of the main games though, and that all the people who think she's among the easiest are crazy.

Hey don't worry I think so as well.

I guess I'm crazy then? She's the only one I can perfect at will, though it's true that she's also the only one I'm very familiar with.

I'd say I agree with you. Nue (and maybe Koishi) are probably the easiest bosses to be consistent with because a lot of the spells are easy once you figure them out. For Nue, I've captured everything except the survival, and I've done every part of it, just not all at the same time. As far as Koishi goes, Genetics is the only one I didn't cap yet, and I've had it down to a sliver of health.

Imperishable Night Normal FinalB 1cc with Border Team (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19830)
I consider this an achievement because I beat Kaguya with only two lives from maximum, both killed by her (And I don't believe I died once with bombs in stock this run). And it had a lot of lagging, so how it's not even a percent of slowdown is beyond me.
However, I broke 1.7 Billion which is an accomplishment for me.
Also, Reimu got to see the inside of a massive fucking laser that covers a gigantic portion of the screen and live. (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,12046.msg809348.html#msg809348)

Managed to perfect midboss Nue in TD extra. That wasn't hard.
Dunno why I just couldn't capture Nue's 2nd even a few months before.

Kay, back and gonna make myself a deadline of 1ccing EoSD Lunatic by Saturday.
By the way, about the 1 year shenaningans, I started playing on, uh, mid-September? A goal of mine would be to 1cc everything but Lunatic UFO before my anniversary. Although, who knows, maybe I'll pull a Zil and do that too. Probably not though.
Speaking of which, grats to Kanon on doing the mentioned above. Is one thing that stuck out when skimming through the thread.

I FUCKING DID IT
THIS WAS THE BEST FUCKING EXTRA RUN EVER (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19853)
I perfected ExKeine, only bombed once through the stage, captured a bunch of shit, captured Hourai Doll, and unlocked Imperishable Shooting, all while topping my high score by a gigantic fucking 200 million points.
I FEEL ACCOMPLISHED AND I NEED TO SAY THIS RIGHT NOW, FUCK YOU FUJIYAMA VOLCANO AND POSSESSED BY PHOENIX.
I captured...
Past "Ancient History -Old History-"
Reincarnation "Returning-Bridge Ichijo"
Future "New History Of Phantasm -Next History-"
Limiting Edict "Iwakasa's Moon Curse"
Immortal "Fire Bird -Flying Phoenix-"
Fujiwara "Flaw of Forgiving Shrine"
Forgiveness "Honest Man's Death"
Hollow Giant "Woo"
"Hourai Doll"
I went from 6 captures to 9 fucking captures. How the fuck does that work?

1. Apparently he missed the detail that the Border Team can't get hit by the amulets when he is hugging the screen. Iirc the blue ones get's gapped before they hit your hitbox so the only thing you have to keep in mind is not staying right above a red one when it is moving up and of course the aimed bullets. - Well, I'm pretty sure that's how it is. Haven't played that boss for a long while.
2. He hates it like any reasonable shmupper should. :V
@Esu; I checked your run to see if you safespotted the end-stage fairy and was happy to see that you didn't. Good run though it of course has some things that you need to work on. First off, you need to work on your non-spells. ;) But you also need to put in some practice with Fujiyama Volcano. The only way that card can be hard for people is because they don't have the pattern memorized. So go do that. Then you could probably do an even better run sometime. In any event, congrats on the run.

Actually, I normally do really good with nonspells, my previous (6 capture) run captured every nonspell up until the one that's virtually all fast purple amulets.
And I'll go studying on YouTube on how to beat those two god-forsaken cards.
Funny thing is, I used to call Xu-Fu's Dimension Mokou's easiest card because I never figured out Honest Man's Death.
-
Fuji Volcano is really just pattern based. Its hard until you memorize the pattern. Since I threw away all shame years ago I'll just post a no-focus timeout for you.

-
Speaking of which, just got my first 9 capture IN extra run as well. Missed some easy ones (Next History, Possessed by Phoenix) but did get my first Fujiyama capture outside of Spell Practice. Only 140m though since I failed a ton on Hourai Doll, I think I lost three lives to it because out of practice. :/
-
Does it count as cheesing out Hourai Elixir if you sit in the corner for the green needle phase? I fucking hate that phase, it's why I've never captured Mishaguji-Sama.

Nope.

HAHAHA!! PoDD Kotohime 1cc! Score of 45mil. I've finally done it. A 1cc as an average-tier character. Forget that Reimu run, this thing's going up on youtube.
Eventually... I'll clear with every character. Maybe not soon, but some day.
-
I needed to unlock the spellcards for Easy Mode for spellcard practice. Guess what I did?
90FPS Netherworld Team Easy 1cc for FinalA (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19868)
And since I thought it was still too fucking easy, ending with four lives...
120FPS Border Team Easy 1cc for FinalB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19869)
YEAH.
-
I got higher pre-Kogasa scores compared to all of the UFO Extra WRs. Maybe I might get a WR if luck is on my side.
-
*attempts to 1cc IN Lunatic*
*plays really stupidly up to Keine, enters stage 4 with 4 lives, figures there's no point in quitting now*
*makes it to Life Spring Infinity*
I don't know what to think. :/
-
I attempted 90FPS SA Lunatic.
I made it to non-midboss Parsee.
And I'm posting about it in the accomplishments thread...so yeah, 90FPS SA Lunatic is out of my league right now. :V
-
Ooooh so close! I finally passed Orin on Normal for the first time and got all the way to Heaven and Hell Meltdown. I can feel the last 1CC Normal, it's so close!

Clearing with max lives was an accomplishment for me back in the day, but do it with default starting lives. That's actually a challenge (and your score will probably be about double)

True, probably someday, but not for a while. For the moment, I'm happy with this.
besides, I ended with a life remaining anyway >_>

I managed to perfectly time out Ichirin's first non-spell using the safespot :toot: I usually die whenever I try timing that out.
Now to work on doing the same for her mid-boss non-spell

Hmm that's a good idea for me to practice lunatic sometime. I always forget that I can change default starting lives in EoSD, PCB, IN.

*Not counting PC-98

Oh hey there 1Miss Lunatic VoWG, in what must be my third attempt at the thing.
Capture possible? Probably.
E:
Died to one of the first waves of Yamato Torus.
"Meh, let's try timing it out."
I then proceed to time it out.
Pretty close to a flawless timeout I guess. >:(
Also: I 2D VoWG quite consistently. :/
-
Non-Reimu Phantasm Clear- with Sakuya and getting 557 million points.
I easily could have gotten 700 million had I not derped three times at Danmaku Bounded Field
-
Well it took like thirty hours but I finally uploaded that Kotohime run. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMz4DljAY7A
No deaths up until Chiyuri. I might have been able to beat her on the second round instead of the third if I hadn't made a lot of dumb mistakes, but I cleared in the end, so I'm happy.
-
Marine Benefit ReimuA Normal 1cc, first time even seeing stage 4, and I call this the real Touhou 13. Fuck Ten Desires, this shit is what it's all about.
-
Damn. PoDD Mima 1cc. This time only two deaths: one to Chiyuri and one to Yumemi. I guess I'm looking at another all-night upload. :derp:
-
Marine Benefit ReimuA Normal 1cc, first time even seeing stage 4, and I call this the real Touhou 13. Fuck Ten Desires, this shit is what it's all about.
This. Marine Benefit > Ten Desires any day.
So I just made a really lulzy replay. Game overed at Kanako's first spellcard on MoF Normal, with MarisaB, with copious glitch laser abuse.
That seems like it'd go in the derp thread, until you realize I was going at 150 frames a second.
-
I finally 1cc'd IN on Normal! This makes four games now:
-EoSD
-IN
-MoF
-TD
Which game would you guys recommend next?
-
Dude, PCB. I'm suprised you got TD before PCB because TD's easy in danmaku, but you can't screw up nearly as much as PCB.
-
I say Subterranean Animism.
-
PCB first, then SA, then UFO.
Iirc SA is actually rather lenient on lives depending on your performance, and it comes with the bomb system from MoF, but it has harder danmaku than PCB.
So PCB should be a walk in the park for him, then SA if possible, because the higher difficulty might take a little bit of adjustment.
And then UFO is obtuse for everyone.
-
Iirc SA is actually rather lenient on lives depending on your performance,
It gives you truck loads of lives no matter how poorly you perform... as long as you pick up those life fragments obviously. So yeah just go for SA.
-
Coming back to playing Touhou from a 3 month-ish period of playing almost no Touhou due to a lot of school commitments, I found that my skills kinda sucked (Not clearly PCB Phantasm, Koishi's 3rd spell)
I did however, manage to pull of my first ReimuA UFO normal 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19914), capturing Sinker Ghost for the first time (leaving only Satori and Flying Fantastica to capture on Normal). Looks like not playing for a long time kinda set safety on a higher priority than scoring, though I still fudged up Byakuren.
-
It gives you truck loads of lives no matter how poorly you perform... as long as you pick up those life fragments obviously. So yeah just go for SA.
Indeed, if you perform poorly enough for the resulting lack of Extends to make a substantial difference, It's a Game Over already anyway, in the literal sense. SA is definitely a good choice, stages are well designed and you'll always be able to squeeze out a lot of Bombs/Power if you know what to do.
-

SA is definitely a good choice, stages are well designed and you'll always be able to squeeze out a lot of Bombs/Power if you know what to do.
For me:
SA - bomb in stage no problem, gets power back anyways as long as it's not in the wrong place (like no enemies on the screen) and not too often. The problem is that you can't bomb through bosses easily (ReimuC aside). Thus, often times Orin and Utsuho become huge brick walls.
UFO - can't bomb many times in stage cuz have to save them, have to use UFO summon to cancel bullets and get resources. The UFO system opens up so many more potential places for infuriating errors. The reward is: boss comes *mashes X* boss defeated (except LFS, which is basically a show stopper and can take away as many resources as possible).
Based on this, I'll suggest SA, at least over UFO, if only for having resources given to you no matter how bad you do. Performing near-perfect UFO routes in stages can be just as frustrating as dealing with Orin and Okuu, but at least for SA you don't have to worry about not getting the 8th or 9th life just because you die somewhere bad.
Take note that PCB gives you more resources than SA (if you reach 1000 point items), and you can avoid much of the memorization by playing as SakuyaA (ultra spread / ultra homing, plus 4 bombs per life to bomb through a lot of attacks). It's also got a really easy final attack (normal mode Reflowering - avoid red waves completely by dodging them half way above bottom of screen!!)
-
Play GFW next-you get so many lives if you play well-ish with the freezing you can derp through everything and still clear easily.
EDIT: UFO hard 1cc, the second. Now with needles instead of frogs.
-
In UFO, it's debatable over whether ZUN decided to be a dick with the stages or the bosses.
Which do you think is worse, really? I personally think the stages are fucking jerks.
-
Oh, boss dissonance.
UFO bosses are harder >_>
He should have no problem getting 1,000 Points in PCB, either, seeing how relatively easy it is to hit the 1,200 extend.
-
The stages aren't that hard once you learn them and plan some UFOs, stages 1,2,4 and 6 are trivial after you do this, and stage 3 only has the last part that's hard if you are something with zero spread and slow like ReimuA. (i can't really say anything about stage 5 because i have yet to learn a route for it)
The bosses are fine and have interesting patterns, some are stupid like Kogasa's first and midboss Nazrin's nonspell in Stage 5 but you can just go and bomb these (well, the pendulum card is stupid too if you are MarisaB or ReimuB because it's a survival on stage 1 :V )
-
Which game would you guys recommend next?
If you're just looking to clear another game, I'd say PCB is prolly easiest. I'm sure people will agree with me that SA and UFO probably tended to create more rage when trying to clear for the first time than PCB did.
If you want to improve a lot, I'd say either SA or UFO, personally I like SA better but I'm not sure which one would actually be better for player improvement.
-
The only accomplishment so far I have is EoSD 1cc on Normal.
I suck :ohdear:
-
Alright, I've done lots of stuff in the last while.
SA Hard 1cc with ReimuA despite horrible amounts of choking on Utsuho. Replay here (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19927)
Finally captured my own spellcard from my Patchouli danmakufu script. Here's the card (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_UMUhJ2GoA), skip to 3:29. (I know that's not an accomplishment from an official touhou game, but I still thought it was impressive)
Also got to "And Then Will There Be None?" WITHOUT DYING OR BOMBING! I was soooo close to a perfect stage.....but then again I still had QED to get, and I've never captured that one before. Nonetheless, here's the replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19925).
And finally, I FINALLY 1cced EoSD lunatic on my third attempt that reached Scarlet Gensokyo when I finally decided not to choke on it! Replay here (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19926)

I'll keep it brief.
SCREW YOU, EOSD. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19929)
ESPECIALLY YOU, SAKUYA.
I WIN
I don't mind that I bombed needlessly twice in Stage 4 or died with full bombs to Patchouli.
I don't mind that I lost a life to Meiling.
I don't mind that I lost a life to Cirno.
I DO mind that you decide to give me a good feeling by capping two of your nonspells and... two of your spells, passing THREE waves of your MAX RANK finale, then dicking me over with a stealth sword and then KILLING ME WITH FULL BOMBS WHEN YOU EXPLODE.
I hate you. I will always hate you. You have crossed the line long ago.
...
In other news, there were some very derp things in this run, and things I did wrong that I ALWAYS do right, alongside some mighty impressive stuff so whatever!
It is currently 11:30 PM. I promised to finish this before Saturday ends.

Oh hello there person above me. Three attempts? Ahahahahaha...hahaha...ha. I'm gonna sit in a corner now if you don't mind.

Oh hello there person above me. Three attempts? Ahahahahaha...hahaha...ha. I'm gonna sit in a corner now if you don't mind.
I think you may have misunderstood. I only made it to Scarlet Gensokyo 3 times. I took dozens of tries at least trying to clear. Most of them ended up being rage quits after I died too many times in a row. Also, congrats on besting 4 of Sakuya's attacks. I think in my clear every one of them received at least 1 bomb. I have derped sooooo many times to those knives, I was tired of risking it. And how do you almost capture Killing Doll?!?!?!? Now I'm jealous, you seem a LOT better at this game than me, and I thought I was pretty good after all my attempts. Also my clear used the hitbox patch, just throwing that out there. I cleared every other mode and difficulty without it though.
-
I saw that only after I posted. Don't worry, that Sakuya was a lot better than what I usually do. Although the kunai walls sucked. :U
I guess I did pretty good with the third nonspell and with midboss Sakuya's spell.
-
I beat Big Crunch without dying or bombing.
But no sliver because of bomb carryover from the previous nonspell.
I also 1DNB'd the survival and 1D1B'd the last spell in the stage.
GFW extra is so fun, especially when you take out the third midboss nonspell in about 10 seconds.

Sorry, wrong thread!

If that was referring to me, I do count what I did as an accomplishment. I cleared the stage again, and had my best performances every on quite a few things.

I can't do some of the nonspells.
The stage, I could.
The spells, I could, aside from maybe Open Universe because screw that card.
The nonspells...the 6th one in particular I just can't do, along with the 5th and 3rd. Relying on them to go right would be stupid, especially when I'd still have to 'capture' the survival and Fairy Destruction Ray.
EDIT: *finally* bothered to play Marine Benefit, and 1cced hard on my 4th attempt. MarisaB got me to the last nonspell blind, SanaeA did as well. ReimuC went ok, and ReimuA I 1cced with.

I finally did something that actually feels good, within a scoring run. Woah. I perfected IN easy on nether team (!) using a somewhat full scoring route. Also captured all the Last Spells, and managed the safespot in the fourth last spell.
Image (http://i.imgur.com/a7U9g.png)
However, I did play cautiously, and I had some of the usual fails you have, when doing a scoring run; there were a couple of mistimed noncards, missed fairies, not-at-max-value collected point items, and mistimings with the phantom gauge. And I was unable to bombgraze Reisen's ultimate card, for obvious reasons.
Now, if I had done this run when we had Netherworld Team as the weekly challenge :V

What the? You can't be serious, is it THAT hard? Maybe I should unlock some Overdrives myself, need to clear Easy Mode!

Bad reference :V
Seiga's overdrive is apparently the hardest out of all of them. I wouldn't know, because I've only gotten as far as Demonify on Lunatic :colonveeplusalpha:
-
Oh it's really damn hard. Personally I found Kyouko's to be more of a pain though. I could deal with lasers and balls but not arrows and balls. That was simply too much. Seiga's card is quite weird because some people take forever to cap it, others do it right away. I think I had around 100 or so attempts to capture it and time it out, others at 900 and I think i saw someone capture it within 30 attempts or something like that. :V

eosdnormal90fps1ccfuckyeah!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UyXmpfJnhI) :getdown:
That was a super fun challenge! Much more fun than the same in MoF or the more TD. And after two days of derping all over the place i've got used to this speed and managed to pull a pretty good run. I've captured 10 spellcards including Curse of Vlad Tepes and Scarlet Shoot :o And i bombspammed Patchouli and Sakuya, because seriously. Though in some of my failed attempts i've captured Sylphae Horn high level, Water Elf and Lunar Clock out of nowhere.
Cmon, Zil! Do it on lunatic already :V
-
For Seiga's overdrive. I find that at some point it kinda *clicks* into you.
Basically, for me, It took many many futile attempts until I realized just how fast and how far I have to move.
After that, I started surviving longer and longer and eventually landed a capture.
-
I tried EoSD Hard 90fps just to see how it is.
Everything's either too easy or too ridiculous. Not very fun imo. :(
E: Well I'll be fair and say that it IS quite very possible. I mean, the game is a deal easier than its Lunatic counterpart, and I can manage some of the harder spells even at 90fps which is a thing. :U

JESUS CHRIST FINALLY (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19956)

PoFV utlra normal 1cc with Marisa, 208 million points.
THIS IS SO FUN UNTIL SHIKIEIKI
-
I finally have a Normal 1cc on every shooter in the series. You'd think it would have been UFO holding me back, but no, it was freaking SoEW with its massive bomb delay and freakish hitbox. Seriously, what is this (http://www.gamedesignmatters.com/HITBOX.gif)?!
But I finally did it today.
[edit: guess .gifs don't work as attachments; linked.]
-
Yeah those bullets Mima uses at the end there are the worst offenders. The hitbox is literally bigger than the sprite.
Anyway...
PoDD Marisa 1cc! Another 2 death run. One to Reimu and one to Yumemi (as always). This leaves only three characters: Ellen, Kana, and Chiyuri (ignoring my semi-pacifist 1cc).
-
So, I got myself that Marine Benefit fangame today. It's surprisingly well done, and some of the patterns please me. The whole concept of a moving PoC is... I don't know.. funny?
Achievementwise, I perfected the first stage! (http://i.imgur.com/QhPME.png), which is quite an achievement to me, given what my history with blindruns is. Took me three tries, whereas this usually should've taken twenty.

A happy dappy random spring welcoming Kanako perfect! /o/ It also has the bonus of perfecting the stage too, something which didn't happen the first time.

I got to Stage 6B in IN with the Magic Team with 5 lifes in stock.
Unfortunetly this is the Magic Team. Stage 6B is killer for them, and so is Kaguya, because you have to move quite a lot to dodge, and she... dosen't move much.
Unfortunetly I've only fought Kaguya a handful of times.
Unfortunetly I find Kaguya harder than Eirin.
Game Overed halfway through Rainbow Danmaku.
SO CLOSE

Haha, exactly the same thing also happened to me yesterday. 3 seconds left :V
And for not being offtopic, take this (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=19885)
I'm still on my IN Normal 1cc's, but I as you can see on the upload date of the replays, I am busy with other things for a while, so it's more or less on and off...but I'm getting better nonetheless :3
-
I can feel my heart beat inside my ears and my hands smell like they've been in my fucking S-Bend from sweating so profusely.
But I did it, Touhou 8 Hard 1CC.
Accomplished with Border Team taking the Final A route.
This. Is the run in which everything I've learned just seemed to click, I capped several of Marisa's cards where I haven't even capped their Normal equivalents. The fight with Marisa was in general where I realised I was in with a chance since that fight went incredibly smoothly compared to how poorly I normally do. This also the run where I realised that the little stars have really quite small hitboxes and trusting your little box will get you through the nonspells.
I still fucking hate Double Spark/Master Spark though. Screw that card and screw it hard.
And not a single bomb wasted, while that's hardly difficult what with Border Team's huge ass deathbomb time but it still pleases me to know I used all of my resources efficiently and didn't let anything go to waste.
Eirin also went quite smoothly, once again capping a number of cards which I haven't done their Normal equivalents. I still blow chunks at Apollo 13 and don't have the balls to try the safespot.
I am just...extremely satisfied right now. IN was my first Normal 1cc and I'm pleased it was my first Hard 1cc.
PROGRESS. I AM MAKING IT.
EDIT: Lol I actually just remembered my first Hard 1cc was PoFV with Aya, but that was so easy to do that I practically don't count it. This is my first Hard 1cc that felt like a proper accomplishment to me.
-
And not a single bomb wasted, while that's hardly difficult what with Border Team's huge ass deathbomb time but it still pleases me to know I used all of my resources efficiently and didn't let anything go to waste.
But deathbombing in IN wastes a bomb automatically...
-
But deathbombing in IN wastes a bomb automatically...
Meh, normally if I'm that bad at a card that I'm going to get hit I normally just take the two bomb penalty since it'll outright murder the card. Normally bombing a card I'm bad at tends to result in me either bombing a second time, which is the same result or me using a bomb and THEN deathbombing resulting in a net loss of three bombs.
It's sort of more that I didn't die and lose a bomb, because even though it's really hard to do with IN, I've still managed to be a complete tit and do it anyway.

Aww c'mon, it's not as bad as it looks. Plus, you're free to abuse max lives as much as you want for this purpose.

Huzzah! Another 1CC Normal of EoSD under the belt, this time with Marisa A default lives/bombs. I almost feel ready to graduate to Hard methinks. I managed to survive this time with a full two extra lives in stock, unlike my Reimu run where I ran out of everything by the end and barely finished. I picked several places as 90% autobombs based on my gut feeling as each attack progressed, and I think it worked to my advantage. Remilia's opener, which is notoriously clippy, was probably the smartest one. In practice mode I can ace it almost every time, but during full runs I swear I die to it every time (probably because I'm at Rank 32 by then). I plan to put both runs up on Youtube sometime soon with remixes... but for now, back to Flandre.
-
Aww c'mon, it's not as bad as it looks. Plus, you're free to abuse max lives as much as you want for this purpose.
I think 1CCing with Solo Reimu is an extremely helpful experience actually, since you're kind of forced to thoroughly deal with most patterns due to her low damage output (low being "Time out Kaguya's last Spellcard without even wanting to do so"-low), at least for me it was a great preparation for Lunatic since Hard Mode hardly required strategies with the Border Team, at least I managed to get by at the time without having invested an awful lot of time in strategy development.

Managed to properly safespot Eternal Meek on Normal for the first time

GFW B1 Normal clear! Didn't think I'd ever be this happy about a Normal clear again!
-
Oh hells yeah! Two 1CC Normals in one night :D This time it's my first clear with SanaeB UFO. I even took some time out from resource-collecting to summon several blue UFOs along the way for kicks. Perfected almost all of Murasa except the survival card, did decently on Shou (only lost two lives I think?) and well on Byakuren until Air Scroll (upon which I slayed myself numerous times before thinking "JUST BOMB THIS SHIT"). One Reimu, two Marisa, and one Sanae left... *sigh*

UFO Extra No Bombs (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19995)
Should've happened a month ago, honestly.
All spells captured but Kogasa's bullshit laser finale and Grudge Bow. I die twice to the latter, once to the former and once to the second nonspell (idk either).
The near-death derp dodge at Snake Show was hilarious, though.
Beat my high score by 4 Mil.
-
Alright, that's all routes in GFW Normal cleared, either I'm starting to get the hang of things or B1 is just much, much more difficult than any other route.
-
Went from 0/28 on Cloudy Way in Purple to 2/30. Only ones left to capture on Hard are Hook Combo (should be easy, just lots of clipdeaths) and Radiant Treasure Gun (complete bull >_>)
Can't wait to actually try 1ccing this.

UFO Normal no red/green summons get (0/2)! I actually had a much better run survival-wise (one miss the first 5 stages) but it went to shit when I hit that annoying bug that makes you move when you aren't pressing any keys. I don't mind much though, since my redo had a much better score :).
One day I will clear this game on Lunatic... Someday...

Mountain of Faith no bombs hard 1cc?
Yes, that's what this is.
I'm starting work on all hards all shot types...so I go to Mountain of Faith to get that out of the way first. Of course, this was just a 1cc run until after I died to Minoriko. I perfected Stages 2 and 3, yay, then died to each waterfall section, the triple popcorn fairy (missed the kill on the first one), and Aya's survival.
Then I die right before midboss Sanae (1 life left).
Then I double KO her nonspell (0 lives left).
Then I capture her spell wihtout frostthrowers on her (1 life left now).
Then I perfect her.
Then I almost perfect the Stage part of 6, but end up dying to the last fairy's last wave.
Then I go into Kanako thinking I already lost, having to perfect her to get the no bomb clear.
So I dodge the opener.
and then the second nonspell without frostthrowers because I moved them early for the second spell.
then I dodge the second spell.
then I capture the 4th spell, and all that stands between me and the clear is VoWG.
I captured it.
So, since my score.dat got corrupted, this re-re-unlocks extra for this shot type. Low score attack GO

Lotus Land Story Normal 1cc.
Stage 4's main trick for killing me seems to be fucking my eyes up with that scrolling background and frankly I think that's shit design when the main difficulty comes from not being able to see what you're doing. Also, Yuuka's Master Spark, how the actual fuck is anyone supposed to dodge that on their first try. I knew it was there and I still conceeded a life to it for not moving before the line came down.
Lotus Land Story is really generous with the extra lives and bombs and stuff, so this one was honestly quite easy to do.
Feels good to have PC-98 clear under my belt, if only because it makes me feel like less of a graphics whore since I generally don't like the PC-98 games for being really rough on the eyes.
Still, 3-5 are the only PC-98 games I'm really going to even try and get good at, I think SoEW is a horribly flawed game by comparison to the later PC-98 stuff, wonky as fuck hitboxes and very strange bomb delay contribute to this, as well as the fact that (the PC98 games in general have this problem) your own bullets don't fall into the background as easily, meaning I often get confused, not as a result of not reacting quick enough or sheer density but just not being able to see what the hell I'm doing.

Congratulations! That reminded me again of my first EoSD normal no-bombs run, where i've started with 5 lives, but played so badly that i've got to Remilia with one life and the only death was to Scarlet Shoot :derp:

Yeah, the craziest things happen when you don't give up. I took perfecting Kanako as a challenge at the end (not 'oh I lose'), just like my low-score MoF extra run does everything from Jade of the Horrid River onwards with no lives in stock.
-
Same thing happened to me with [Hard] Devil's Recitation and [Hard] LFS.
Both are still 1/1. :getdown:
-
Tried TD Lunatic for the first time to unlock the stages in practice (just 1cced Hard not too long ago), and it's a lot harder than Hard. I did manage to capture at least one card from every boss, a few highlights being Heal by Desire (must have been with .2 seconds left, honestly) as well as Mononobe's Eighty Sake Cups and Newborn Divine Spirit.
lol 7 continues though >_>

Yea, I've never really been a fan of SoEW even though I tried it a few times. Go for Mystic Square now, especially since it's not too bad until the stage 4 boss fight at least for me, and the stage 6 boss theme is EPIC considering the technology used to make it.
-
Oh yeah, Mystic Sqaure is a thousand times better, so don't let LLS ruin your opinion of PC-98. PoDD's still the best though, so that's the one I'd recommend. :D
HRtP is also pretty fun for what it is.

-
HRtP is also pretty fun for what it is.
See this is exactly why everything Zil says should be disregarded because clearly he's outta his mind. :D Though I guess he's right about MS being better than LLS. Because of Yumeko if nothing else.

[attach=1]
How the fuck did I do this when the last run lost all but one life to Yuki and Mai then derped against Yumeko's laser spam, resulting in a game over?
I'm not kidding, this is the first time I've even GOTTEN TO SHINKI without continuing. I won with THREE LIVES IN STOCK. Compared to CONTINUING THREE TIMES, TWICE TO HER FUCKING CHEETO LASERS, this is a pretty massive win and the score seems pretty high. Is it?
Oh and I've tried Extra. I got pretty far for my first try but then on the second try I game over'd to the Jack of an Unknown Face (My nickname for the MS Extra Midboss because he has no suit shown on his card, though you can clearly see a "J".). I need to bomb more.
-
Oh, hooray.
First try 1CCs are always worthy of celebration.
The game in question?
Marine Benefit.
I got AppLocale running properly, finally :D
So happy~ I can finally start tinkering with Danmakufu~

Next time: Taizen Chisou Fails to Otohime Kanpukugu
Otohime's actually not all that difficult considering that I got all the way to her "Ten Stars"-like card with the pink rotating bubbles on my first attempt at the stage. I attribute most of that success to the generous life and bomb system and the fact that I auto-bombed every nonspell. Those conveyor-belt patterns screw my eyes up still. Good luck!

I guess it's because you dodged well. Only 5 miss and 7 bombs. Go for Hard mode next!! - And once you feel up to it, you can go for a Lunatic that I've never cleared. :V

So I just captured Emerald Megalith on lunatic.
In a 1cc run, with a bomb in stock. Seriously guys, what's so hard about this spell :V
-
Iirc, it's something a lot harder when rank is maxed out. It's either that or something related to bubbles. It doesn't look hard but it probably has it's reputation for a reason.

and after capturing Emerald Megalith I went on to manage the lunatic 1cc, with MarisaB, and default lives.

I died to the book, bombed right before Patchy and then bombed again on the second non-directional laser. Emerald Megalith is third, so after the last bomb I captured a spell, so it must have been close to, if not at, max rank.
-
Okay. Then you probably either underestimate your capabilities and are better at Touhou than you think or it's simply not that hard. The second option actually being quite plausible now that I think about it.

PCB Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20027)
~~~
Story time!
I hate PCB. Considering there are two groups: one that claims that PCB is the easiest Lunatic and the other that... doesn't, I'm definitely with the latter, and not because it's not the easiest Lunatic. I can't explain it -- it has interesting patterns, it has challenging, random spells, and still I do not enjoy them at all. I see the bullets but die to them anyway. Something about the game is way too sloppy: the hitboxes, the animated bullets, something. It's gotten to the point that I felt like I could 1cc it easy but just didn't feel like it. And when I DID try some serious attempts just to get it over with, my motivation to keep going drains insanely fast due to how easy it is to derp to Chen.
In fact, I can count the number of runs that got past Stage 2, be it due to a lack of restarting or due to having 'survived' Stage 2, with one hand.
This is an attempt in which I decided to not give a damn and bomb everything in sight. It's funny, because earlier attempts with the very same method STILL died on Stage 2. However, this attempt made it to Alice, which was new.
What followed was an attempt in which I grit my teeth and literally went on and fought my way through stages until I died. Of course, I didn't die, because I was so concentrated on survival I was actually surviving! By that, I mean none of my infamous, untimely, consecutive derps with full bombs. By that, I mean full exploitation of border breaks. By that, I mean nervous dodging that actually gets the job done.
Of course, all this lasted until I reached a certain stage of panic, which was during the Stage 6 spam. To which I died TWICE, losing 3 bombs. I was crushed, since I actually thought I'd never have to see this game again with a fluke attempt that reached Yuyuko with 4 lives. Of course, now I'd reach her with 2, which wasn't enough.
Yeah, screw you Yuyuko. Breakdown or not, I'm not derping to you.
I SUPER NERVOUSLY reached RB with 1L1B.
Fighting and getting that final extend in the middle of the card was quite the triumph.
And it was over.
I don't care if this run is bad. All I can think of is how I don't have to beat this game ever again and I am currently overjoyed thinking that.
>:D
-
I can sort of see a basis for what BT's talking about. I can't be the only one here who thinks the newer Windows games (MoF onward) are in general much better than the older ones. Though since I got into Touhou shortly after UFO came out, my thinking on the matter is admittedly skewed, but considering how much more time ZUN has had to polish the engine, bullet pattern designs, etc. it's kind of expected to see improvement in later installments.
Regardless, congrats on the 1cc!
Okay. Then you probably either underestimate your capabilities and are better at Touhou than you think or it's simply not that hard. The second option actually being quite plausible now that I think about it.
So I'm not the only one who thought that. I'm not crazy after all. :V
I may not play EoSD anymore, but back when I did I would usually try to go through Stage 4 bombing only once or twice at worst before Emerald Megalith. I had heard about people calling it bullshit before, but I never really saw it that way. Those people need to learn to read farther in advance, if you ask me. Keep yourself in good position to dodge stuff and the card's not bad at all.
-
Congrats on that PCB clear. Bombing everything in sight is exactly the way to do it. :D
I can't be the only one here who thinks the newer Windows games (MoF onward) are in general much better than the older ones.
Nope, there are a lot of people who feel that way.

PCB Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20027)
Nice!
Now to edit your wall of text to fit a different game and my opinions.
I hate TD. Considering there are two groups: one that claims that TD is the easiest Lunatic and the other that... doesn't, I'm definitely with the latter, and not because it's not the easiest Lunatic. I see the bullets but die to them anyway. It's gotten to the point that I felt like I could 1cc it easy but just didn't feel like it. And when I DID try some serious attempts just to get it over with, my motivation to keep going drains insanely fast due to how easy it is to derp to Kyouko.
In fact, I can count the number of runs that got past Stage 2, be it due to a lack of restarting or due to having 'survived' Stage 2, with one hand.
On a more serious note, PCB isn't the easiest lunatic either-Mountain of Faith is, as long as you can dodge VoWG at least somewhat.

Another IN Normal 1cc with Magic Team (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=20028), this time FinalB. I'm posting this here because the run was FAR better than any of the others with Magic Team.
I failed Wriggle's Last Spell, after which I normally restart.
I didn't do it this time.
There were some ridiculous moments in between in Stage 2 and on Idling Wave(see lucky dodges thread and replay)
Reached Stage 6 with 5/3, won with 1/3 because Rainbow Danmaku killed me HARD.
BUT I managed to capture Kaguya's penultimate Last Spell, the one with the safespot. :o
I couldn't even do it in Easy after about 200 tries in Spell practice, and now this... :V
I can't be the only one here who thinks the newer Windows games (MoF onward) are in general much better than the older ones.
I think the newer games are more "polished", for lack of a better word.
-
Nope, there are a lot of people who feel that way.
Yeah. I don't think I've played PCB since I first cleared it. It's funny how each stage makes you wait an hour before the first enemy appears. But anyway, congrats BT. Now you can forget that game exists. :D You don't have many left to clear on Lunatic right?
I failed Wriggle's Last Spell, after which I normally restart.
Why would you restart when you fail a Last Spell when it doesn't cost you anything? ???
-
I have yet to 1cc everything but EoSD and PCB. :/
By the way, apparently my anniversary is mid-August, not mid-September, so I'm running out of time!
I'd argue that MoF is harder but then again I'm like the worst bomb person ever.
Since even my "must bomb everything in sight" runs aren't bomb everything in sight runs at all. Anyone who's watched the replay can tell as much.
I NEVER bomb when it's not needed. (As far as I can tell, that is. I waste bombs like any other player. :V)
When I want to bomb everything, I ready myself by making it so that I can reach the bomb button with my finger easily.
Yeah. Nothing more. Since I usually don't even have the bomb button in mind when playing for survival.
I tried fixing this horrible habit for God knows how long and nothing's helping. :U
-
Why would you restart when you fail a Last Spell when it doesn't cost you anything? ???
I think it's my own ego that doesn't allow me to go on unless I perfect at least the first stage (only for Normal difficulty) , or a mixture of "IN is the easiest game" and "I can't fail at the first stage already"
I am better when I just don't care about the Last Spells though...they're just a bonus, not a normal spell card.
-
Well, I fucked up the phase before it and had to continue (And I had 395 fucking point items why), but on Hard I captured Shinki's Cheeto Laser phase on my first try. Considering how many people bitch about it, that's an accomplishment of anything. but the insulting part was that right after the phase that I continued on, SHINKI DROPPED FIVE POINT ITEMS. FIVE. THE AMOUNT THAT I FUCKING NEEDED FOR AN EXTEND.
FUCK YOU SHINKI THAT'S JUST NOT FAIR
I'd put this in the rage thread but I think this should all go together since this is more accomplishment than it is failure.
-
Since even my "must bomb everything in sight" runs aren't bomb everything in sight runs at all. Anyone who's watched the replay can tell as much.
I NEVER bomb when it's not needed. (As far as I can tell, that is. I waste bombs like any other player. :V)
Well then BT, I challenge you to try something. Play MoF Lunatic and bomb every spell. I don't care how easy the spell is, you're required to bomb it. Every single one. Just play a run like that and see how well you do. I want to see how it turns out. :3
(Of course, you can still bomb elsewhere as needed.)
-
Okay then, be that way.
>:L
Nonspells included?
-
Kanako's third nonspell.
I was almost going to break the challenge by capturing PWG.
But then I was going to die at T-00 seconds. >:(
Had I not been a derp and derped on Stage 3, Nitori's third nonspell, Stage 5, Sanae's second nonspell (the hell was this about??) and Stage 6 (planned to bomb BEFORE getting a bomb -________-), this might've cleared.
Oh, not to mention I got cocky with Sanae's first spell, and I died on the last second of Aya's last spell after bombing once and surviving with 0 power for PLENTY of time.
I kind of saw this coming but whatever. :U
-
See? Now just figure which spells you're sure you can capture without bombs (Dance on Medoteko, for instance) and no doubt you'll 1cc. :P
-
That's no fun but OK.
"Don't get to Momiji with >2 power" is a start.
-
Okay Zil thanks for motivating me or something like that.
MoF Luantic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20033)
Two first clears in a single day. Don't recall this happening, ever.
The run was just as derpy as the run above. In fact, I died to BOTH popcorn fairies at the beginning of Stage 4, full bombs and all. And I screwed up Stage 6 again.
In fact, highlights are: pretty much nothing since I bombed most of the stuff. I guess the best and pretty much only thing that happened in this run is a live Yamato Torus capture, but the waves were pretty easy IMO.
Dear God now I have to do IN and TD. PCB syndrome all over again.
-
>UFO Lunatic clear before IN clear
Dafuq?
-
If you're talking about me, I said "everything but EoSD and PCB" (and MoF, currently).
That would have been nice. :(
-
>UFO Lunatic clear before IN clear
Dafuq?
I think this was the case for Naut.
-
I think this was the case for Naut.
Indeed. I cleared UFO lunatic before I cleared anything on hard.
-
It's because you are the messiah meant to teach us all that UFO is the best game.
-
Indeed. I cleared UFO lunatic before I cleared anything on hard.
I can only truly respond with a quote from a famous man named Douglas Walker.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?
-
I probably should not get into people mocking PCB, or other early games, but I mainly can't stand it. There are flaws, but PCB and the other games have several cool patterns, many great pieces of music and some interesting scoring systems, compared to, say, the newest game that should be the most polished. Okay, TD is not really - that - bad, it has it's flaws but also has several good points. Do you see where this is going?
And if the games seem to get too easy, as some people seem to state every now and then, try scoring: go break 2b in PCB and then think again about how easy it was compared to UFO lunatic 1cc. If you are not into scoring, try challenges, like unfocused movement, no bombs, or perhaps even nonvertical or some perfecting? Are you not interested in challenges either, or are you just plain lazy? Well, maybe you really should not post about how the game is too easy, boring and shitty since you were able to clear it by bombing every threatening pattern.
Lunatic 1cc is just a sip off the drink, and there is much more to the cup than just that. Sometimes the drink is not your kind, but you probably should not go tell other people who like the said beverage that it sucks, because you don't like it and your opinion obviously is greater to theirs.
Hrrrr enough is enough, I mostly try to remain silent about this stuff, but some attitudes seem to really anger me. I probably should do something about it, but yeah, enough raging and onto the topic.
You discussed easiest lunatics to clear? I think I know this one dude, who did UFO first, since they happened to like it. He did not play it for the fact that it was easy nor hard, he did not accomplish the clear to dickwave and show off. He did so, because he liked the game, he wanted to play it. It was the obvious pick to him. You should never play Touhou for showing off, you should never clear that one game since it's the only one left. You should play the game you like, you should accomplish your goals, not others. And when you work for stuff you like, or you want really hard just for yourself, even getting three seconds more into it will feel a bit good.
And getting far and eventually dying will always happen a couple of times. And it's awesome. The thrill, the knowledge of the fact that you do something you have never done before, the Rush. And the rush will come again on the next run, at the same point. It will feel good to die and start over again, just to feel the thrill again.
My latest achievements are mostly from IN, on easy mode. The mode of the game that really many people seem to laugh at. And you know what?
My latest personal achievement was 2.32b border team easy, it beat the goal I had set for myself. It felt better than any of my UFO clears.
Since I liked it.
Great job, BT! Most of this was not aimed at you, and keep up the good work!
-
That's the thing with flaws. Every game has them, and what flaws annoy you more than others are completely case-sensitive.
For instance, I despise PCB for its lack of control despite its cool patterns. Or, say, I like MoF for its mobility and bombs despite said bombs completely breaking the game.
I don't think most people clear all the games to show off. At least, that's not the main reason. It's mostly because of the drive to clear everything that will make you go insane if you don't clear everything! Addiction might be the right word here.
It's good to get these things off your chest once in a while I suppose. :)

FUCK YOU UFO I'M NOT USING YOUR GOD DAMN SYSTEM TO WIN. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20035)
For once I actually had fun with the game.
Let me clarify all of my rage down to this: I like UFO. I like its danmaku, its music, graphics, everything (Except for Murasa's danmaku :C She's worse than Shou). I JUST HATE ITS SYSTEM.
Well you know what, ZUN? Fuck you, I'm not using your overparalyzing system to win! :dealwithit:
-
Who is that aimed at exactly? A lot of the things in your post sounds really strange to me so please explain a few things for me.
I probably should not get into people mocking PCB, or other early games, but I mainly can't stand it. There are flaws, but PCB and the other games have several cool patterns, many great pieces of music and some interesting scoring systems, compared to, say, the newest game that should be the most polished. Okay, TD is not really - that - bad, it has it's flaws but also has several good points. Do you see where this is going?
I don't think anyone said that PCB sucks or anything. However, TD is lacking an actual Lunatic mode and that is unforgivable.
And if the games seem to get too easy, as some people seem to state every now and then, try scoring: go break 2b in PCB and then think again about how easy it was compared to UFO lunatic 1cc. If you are not into scoring, try challenges, like unfocused movement, no bombs, or perhaps even nonvertical or some perfecting? Are you not interested in challenges either, or are you just plain lazy?
A lot of those games have interesting score systems indeed but why is it that you should spend effort on a game you don't like? Because it will indeed take effort to score 2 billion so you'll need to spend a lot of time on it. Why is it exactly you should be doing that when there are games that are fun and challenging simply when you play for survival?
As for challenges, why exactly is it that we should need to augment the game's difficulty with arbitrary challenges like no-focus? I
Well, maybe you really should not post about how the game is too easy, boring and shitty since you were able to clear it by bombing every threatening pattern
That's not the reason anyone calls it easy. That approach works for basically any standard Touhou shmup.
Cool stuff Esu. No UFO's limits your resources greatly so good going!
-
Fuck yeah, UFO NoFocus Normal 1cc! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20036)
Honestly this was done on the first try. The only instance of focusing is so early into stage 1 that it doesn't affect any gameplay, so by what focusing does and doesn't affect, it's still a nofocus run. I can't believe I did this though, you should have seen my face on Flying Fantastica. I was glaring at the screen and scared as heck.
The only drawback if you call it one is that I used ReimuA, whom has slow speed and a small hitbox, which means I could have cheesed my way past some things that other characters can't get through.
-
Whooooo
First try Kanpukugu defeat
Score? Terrible as shit. (i think.... 28 million :V)
Future Card graze milking? Of course.
Am I any less proud? You bet!
-
I don't think anyone said that PCB sucks or anything. However, TD is lacking an actual Lunatic mode and that is unforgivable.
Are you saying that TD lunatic is easier than PCB lunatic?
I don't think that's true at all. I barely got 7 lives in TD, I got 10+ lives each with 4 bombs in PCB.
You might as well say PCB, or IN, or MoF is lacking a lunatic mode.
-
Are you saying that TD lunatic is easier than PCB lunatic?
I don't think that's true at all. I barely got 7 lives in TD, I got 10+ lives each with 4 bombs in PCB.
So you're saying that TD Extra is harder than everything besides Gengetsu, ExAlice, and Flandre because you're only given four spare lives?
You're saying that resources = difficulty? Au contraire! NEED I bring up UFO Lunatic, also known as "If you miss half of a life I'm going to tear your fucking skull out" difficulty? It's very possible to get ten lives and ten bombs in that game, but it's still hard as fuck to play.
Just because you get lives sparingly or excessively does not null the possibility of a perfect.

UFO lunatic has much harder danmaku than PCB or TD, so the additional difficulty overweights the extra lives.
Don't forget that in UFO you actually have to work for those resources, and it's very easy to die summoning UFOs, unlike trancing.
TD lunatic has, imo, similar danmaku level as PCB, but 3 less lives. So that means TD is harder (yes I know there is trance and extra bombs in TD, but playing Sakuya in PCB gives you 4 bombs per life, and PCB also has borders, so it isn't that much difference).
-
Are you saying that TD lunatic is easier than PCB lunatic?
Not necessarily. Depends on the person.
You might as well say PCB, or IN, or MoF is lacking a lunatic mode.
Not really. I can't fault PCB or IN too much for it since they are so old and I do actually find MoF to have quite a few pretty tough attacks though admittedly there are a lot of easy or static attacks which is indeed unfortunate. None of those three games came in the wake of UFO however. UFO was so significantly harder than the rest of the series that it really required it's players to step up their game. TD just felt like it didn't offer anywhere near the challenge that UFO did and it should given that it's a sequel. If it doesn't then it throws off all the old fans. People like me literally have no business in Ten Desires. There are no difficulties for us to play.
Just think how people would react if the situation was switched around and either didn't have an Easy mode or it's Easy mode was as hard as Normal mode?
-
(Except for Murasa's danmaku :C She's worse than Shou). I JUST HATE ITS SYSTEM.
Um, Murasa and Shou are in the same game, so that's 1/3 of the game lol.
-
Um, Murasa and Shou are in the same game, so that's 1/3 of the game lol.
My point is that Murasa is worse than Shou when it comes to stupid Danmaku. I can do all of Shou's nonspells without trying while Murasa's are just clusterfucking bullshit. I only need to bomb against Shou one fucking time at the very least and usually most. Murasa, however, I have a tendency to bomb a nonspell if I get walled, I always bomb Sinking Vortex now, and I'll bomb Sinker Ghost if I get in a nasty situation. Phantom Ship Harbor can suck a [REDACTED] but at least it's as fun as it is hard.
And more importantly, I know very well that 2 is 1/3 of 6. You didn't need to point that out. Please, don't point out obvious things like "Shou and Murasa are in the same game lol" and call that a post.

I guess my point was you said the danmaku in the game wasn't really that bad, yet you claim to hate about 1/3 of it. That simply does not compute with me.
-
So I have a new goal - clear the hardest easy mode Touhou (main games, no FW or PoFV or whatnot). The catch: I have to play with my feet. The question: which easy mode is considered the hardest?
-
I'd say UFO-only one I haven't cleared at 120 FPS
-

Did you not read what I said? I said that Murasa was worse than Shou. That does not imply that I hate Shou, just that Murasa's ridiculously hard for a stage 4 boss, outranking even the fucking Prismriver sisters. Also, I hate Murasa. Shou is incredibly hard and jerkish but I only require one bomb, most of her attacks are just scary.
However Murasa is just downright awful and she is the only boss in the game that I truly, TRULY hate. I only like her music, she's got the best theme in the entire game. Her danmaku is fun but it loves to be a [REDACTED] and to tell the truth, it can eat as many redacteds as danmaku-ly possible.
I actually LIKE Shou, to be honest. However, Murasa eats most of my lives through surprise hits (SINKING VORTEEEEEEX).
So I have a new goal - clear the hardest easy mode Touhou (main games, no FW or PoFV or whatnot). The catch: I have to play with my feet. The question: which easy mode is considered the hardest?
You can play UFO Easy and it would nearly pass for a Normal difficulty average. Good luck.
-

I'd watch a FW play. >_>
I'd say UFO. If you don't count my first Touhou (EoSD) the only ones I didn't 1cc on easy first try were SA, where I died at stage 6, and UFO, where I died at stage 3.

Although not the hardest, I would vote for Ten Desires just because it seems punny considering you're playing with ten (presumably) toes and it's rife with jokes about "this little piggy had a desire to blah blah blah".
-
Well I tried UFO and made it to Nazrin's first spell. I feel like a beginner again. If only I had a DDR pad... It seems my toes are too big for keyboards >_>
Here's the replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20041)

Ah, I see. Most people hate Shou so I guess I just assumed you did too. Please disregard my stupidity, I guess I should have realized that the way I was reading it made no sense.
It seems my toes are too big for keyboards >_>
Oh yeah? I wear size 17 shoes. Get over it.
-
Shou is legitimately fun. Absolutely no BS potential at all. Definitely one of the high points of UFO.
-
I like it when she gets as close to you as possible with her second nonspell, then runs away from you in the following spell.
Also, playing Touhou with a DDR pad would be the coolest thing to see.
-
I love how this has been more complaining about bosses in this thread and I'm the one that points it out.
Guys start posting good runs again I want to go back to the rage thread
Before you point me out as a hypocrite, I did a NoUFO UFO Normal Run and a NoFocus UFO Normal Run.
-
Also, playing Touhou with a DDR pad would be the coolest thing to see.
I was actually going to switch over to one, but I remembered my DDR pad isn't USB =(
-
Guys start posting good runs again
PoDD Lunatic 1cc. Kana this time. Replay forthcoming. Jaimers said she was the second hardest to clear with, but I think Ellen is worse. Maybe he knows something I don't. Well, only two left! :D
-
Oh, forgot to mention that I captured Sinker Ghost without focusing in that one NoFocus 1cc that I did.
