Previous thread. (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,11943.0.html)
As Sapz once said, there is no luck in shootemups. Come on, what did you do?
-
Questioning the thread title somewhat.
Also, I thought that I recently got 1,000,040,000 in MoF Easy recently or something.
And then I retraced my memory and found that I had dreamed that.
that's right, i don't dream about the touhou universe, i dream about playing touhou
it's like some sort of unconscious purgatory of unrealistically good playing
Actual achievement?
Um..... I got VSync working :toot:
OH WAIT I ACTUALLY DID SOMETHING
TEN DESIRES LUNATIC 7CC
:colonveeplusalpha:
-
TEN DESIRES LUNATIC 7CC
I think I've done TD Lunatic 3CC, but it might have been 4.
-
TEN DESIRES LUNATIC 7CC
Showoff, my first run yesterday was an 8cc. >_>
-
It's funny, because I recall a PCB lunatic vs. TD lunatic argument by some people in another thread.
Well, I didn't have to creditfeed PCB lunatic ^^;
Sure, it was still two continues, but eh
I'll work at cutting down that seven to six, or five, maybe, if I'm feeling special.
Since continuing doesn't reset point item value like a sensible person might expect, my highscore is something along the lines of 223,700,304 :V
My highscore on that near-NoFocusBombMiss Easy mode? 222,000,000 :getdown:
-
About that argument.
TD's danmaku is NOT like PCB's. It's confusing and annoying and as a result near undodgable. Worse and harder.
Subscribing etc.

Hey you people generating nonsense, don't we normally start these threads by listing cool stuff that we've done? :( Enough talk of PCB vs. TD for now. As I recall, there's pretty much already a thread about difficulty discussion anyway.

IN Lunatic Final B 1cc with non-default lives (aka 3 extra lives) (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20047)
I thought this was going to be piss easy but apparently it wasn't! Considering this was an exceptionally good run and I still cleared with only a life (1 red star) to spare.
It's a shame because I thought I'd be able to 1cc with 3 extra lives, as in, with pseudo-default lives.
The Keine fight went "ok" and the first card's capture was pretty crazy.
The Marisa fight was subpar at first but then turned amazing at its second half. I'm pretty sure I capped the entire half. Excluding magicannon. :(
Rabbits went pretty bad imo. I lost a life to Tewi and 2 bombs to the third nonspell, which shouldn't have happened. I was also close to capturing the second spell. :/
Then I was 2 lives up (as in, 5 lives) and chose Final B because I thought Eirin would be harder.
Lost a life to the opening death fairies. Gained a life via last extend.
The Kaguya fight was actually ok. Despite bombing every spell. Since, y'know, I was actually doing ok against them. But I died TWICE on the second nonspell which pretty much sealed the deal regarding a normal 1cc.
Of course, learning how to stream Hourai Jewel would have helped as well. I did not switch sides successfully even once, aside from one time when I ALMOST succeeded but got trapped and had to stream UPWARDS, TOWARDS KAGUYA.
Which actually worked for a very nice period of time and made it so she lost like half the card's health, which was hilarious.
It really did feel like I could have done it in this run. A shame. :(
-
Speaking of multi-continue clears, I finally got Imperishable Night Lunatic down to 2CC tonight. I'm actually starting to feel confident with some of the spells, although I doubt a 1CC will be happening any time soon still. I haven't even cleared a Hard Mode yet, let alone Lunatic.
On another note, finally captured Emperor of the East. :D
-
I've done a whole bunch of stuff but right now I feel the best about perfecting 2 extra stages.
-
New thread, just need to post here so I get updated about what's going on in here.
An accomplishment might be successfully capturing the post-Momiji barrage which is quite hard to do. Moreso than beating up Momiji anyway. ZUN you need to make more stuff like that because to be frank, it's quite badass.
A replay if anyone wants to see it. :http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20050

Questioning the thread title somewhat.
Inanimate Dream is the theme for the second form of Lotus Land Story Yuuka, whom is considered a very difficult final boss simply for the shit she throws at you, especially her first phase. Haven't even beaten her yet, and the fact that she kicks you out of the sixth stage if you continue doesn't help at all.
-
"But why is she the thread title?"
Anywho,
IN Lunatic Final B 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20053)
This run was fantastic. I'm counting this as a clear with default lives because I cleared with the equivalent of 6 spare lives (actually 5, but at one point I got an extend while having 8 lives so ;-;). So yes, even if this had been with default lives, I would have cleared, and with flying colors too.
Close to a perfect Keine.
Close to a perfect Marisa.
Derp-less stage portions for the most part.
Everything worked.
And this run came to be.
Actually, not everything worked: I screwed up literally the ENTIRE Stage 5 and still got away with not dying, and only one bomb wasted. Seriously, I have no idea how I survived all that. And I died to Tewi again but ehhhhhh.
At one point I was avoiding point items so I don't get ANOTHER extend with full lives, which was hilarious.
I'm so proud. :)
E: I just remembered how extremely annoyed I was at the final attack rush when I fell asleep on the first card, which I normally capture. Seriously, I would have won with <5:00AM time if not for that. :V
-
"But why is she the thread title?"
Because
1. As long as it's appropriate, I stalked the old thread for an autolock, I'm choosing the damn title. I was the first to make a new thread, I'll name it what I want to. I could have named it "Everyone sucks a [REDACTED] at Touhou" but I didn't feel like it.
2. I fucking love Yuuka
3. Inanimate Dream Yuuka is fucking hell to defeat, even on Normal and anyone that can perfect at least on Normal has my undying respect.
-
Motioning for thread title to be changed to "Virtue of Win God" edition
Also stalking for autolock threads just to name the new one is kind of...childish/immature.
Nice job on that 1cc BT, now go to PoFV without a broken type :V
-
Virtue of Win God has got to be the most epic title ever. I support it. :D
-
I would if I'd played the game enough to know what's a "broken type".
Because I almost never play PoFV. :/
In fact I think I've yet to 1cc it on Hard, so there's a thing.
Supporting the title change.
-
Virtue of Win God has got to be the most epic title ever. I support it. :D
I fourth* this motion, or suggest that someone make a note for it to be the next title at least
-

Yeah yeah yeah ::) I don't care if it's immature. There's nothing against it, and I only stalked it for like five minutes. It's not like I sat there for hours going "Is it locked yet?".
I might change it to your idea, but I'm thinking about it.
-
Aha...ha...ha...

Supporting the title change.
Aya and Medicine are broken because the AI doesn't account for the speed of EX attacks/lowered speed, Shikieiki is slightly broken due to sudden laser width.
Personally I'd suggest using Marisa.
I might change it to your idea, but I'm thinking about it.
This isn't a dictatorship, your name was outvoted 4 to 1 so far :V
-
Wasn't Marisa also broken because the AI couldn't deal with her lasers at all? Think I read that a year ago, though it's been longer than that since I last went through any modes with Marisa so I have no idea if that might have been a dream.
-
The AI can dodge Marisa's lasers because they're thin enough to get out of the way in the ~3 frames the AI leaves for dodging stuff coming near it. Doesn't mean they do it well, but they do., except when they wall themselves. If anything it's like SanaeB; not broken, but effective.

My list (all on Lunatic where applicable):
EoSD: Lunatic 1cc, Stages 1, 2, 3, and Extra perfected
PCB: Lunatic 1cc (regular and no-bombs), all Stages perfected
IN: Lunatic 1cc, Stages 1, 2, 3, 4B, and 5 perfected, Extra cleared
StB: all 85 Scenes cleared
MoF: Lunatic 1cc (regular and no-bombs), all Stages perfected
SA: Lunatic 1cc (regular and no-bombs), all Stages perfected
UFO: Lunatic 1cc, Stages 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and Extra perfected
DS: all 108/99 Scenes cleared as Aya/Hatate
GFW: Lunatic 1cc (regular on all Routes, no-bombs on Route A-1), Extra cleared
TD: Lunatic 1cc, Stages 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 perfected, Extra cleared, best score: 1,982,527,130 with Reimu on Lunatic
Looking at lists like this, I realize how few worthwhile survival accomplishments are left for me to pull off (at my current skill level, at least).
-
Aya and Medicine are broken because the AI doesn't account for the speed of EX attacks/lowered speed
I always used Aya because I liked her special ability. :D
-
This isn't a dictatorship, your name was outvoted 4 to 1 so far :V
Well then thread stalking has its charms.
As for accomplishments, I haven't died to a cheeto laser for the past day, nor did I bomb.
I'll change the title this time but I'm gonna stalk the thread next time and put something really stupid in return.

Ah, I see, I see, so it wasn't a dream after all. Guess they still cause more problems to me than the AI, then. Though I still hate going up against Reimu, which the AI has no problems with, which evens out because I always pick Reimu, so I guess that's fine.
-
The 1cc lists...
Lunatic MS, PCB, IaMP, IN, PoFV, MoF, SWR, SA

I think I'll post a list in this thread like various other people are doing.
Touhou 13 Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=17070) - the closest any game since HRtP has come to being trivialized by bombing for score.
Touhou 7 Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20044) with mistakes all over the place. Dying 12 times without a game over is an accomplishment, right? I mean, it requires reaching the 1200 extend...
Touhou 8 Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20045)... wait how did I reach stage 6 with 6 lives? (loses most of them immediately after that)
Also, HRtP Lunatic 1cc both routes, LLS Lunatic 1cc, all Extra clears and Hard 1ccs (except Touhou 9 and the fighting games, which I don't care about), and reached 1 billion in MoF Easy, PCB Easy, UFO Easy, and MoF Hard (and IN all difficulties obviously).
-
See this page for all I've done. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/index.php?u=Esupanitix&g=--&p=&t=--&d=--&ch=0)
Also, Mystic Square Normal 1cc.
-
Oh, why not, never made such a list, also everything cleared on all shottypes on Normal (minus TD):
EoSD: Reimu B Lunatic and Extra 1CC
PCB: Reimu B Lunatic, Extra and Phantasm 1CC
IN: Border Team Lunatic 1CC, Reimu Solo Hard 1CC, all Last Words and other Spellcards captured
PoFV: Reimu Lunatic and Extra 1CC, all characters unlocked
Shoot the Bullet: All scenes cleared
MoF: Reimu B Lunatic and Extra 1CC
SA: Reimu A Lunatic and Extra 1CC
UFO: Reimu A Lunatic and Extra 1CC
Double Spoiler: All scenes clear on both Aya and Hatate
GFW: All routes Normal 1CC
TD: Reimu Lunatic and Extra 1CC
Currently working on GFW Hard, Lunatic after that, then Extra, then 7.5 -> 10.5 -> 12.3 -> TD Overdrives so I can finish the very last content last, hopefully before the next game is released.
-
Reimu actually is kind of broken in PoFV. =P When those rings of amulets home in and make that "figure eight" shape, the AI likes to trap itself inside the shrinking side.
Anyway...
HRtP Lunatic 1cc
SoEW Lunatic and Extra 1cc - without cheesy doubletapping
PoDD Lunatic 1cc with all characters - Ellen and Chiyuri were kinda cheesy though so I'm redoing them
LLS Lunatic and Extra 1cc
MS Lunatic and Extra 1cc
EoSD Lunatic and Extra 1cc
PCB Lunatic, Extra, and Phantasm 1cc
IN Lunatic and Extra 1cc, all spells captures with Remilia solo, all Last Words timed out, lots of other spells timed out too
PoFV Lunatic 1cc - all characters, no focus Lunatic with Marisa, Lunatic match mode victory with Reimu (thanks to previously mentioned cheesiness)
MoF 90fps Lunatic and Extra 1cc, VoWG timeout
SA 90fps Lunatic and Extra 1cc
UFO Lunatic 1cc, perfect "no UFO" Extra run
TD 90fps Lunatic 1cc, regular fps Extra 1cc
Photography games - All scenes captured with Aya
GFW Lunatic and Extra 1cc
All that comes to mind now.
-
New thread, new list!
LLS: normal 1cc
EoSD: lunatic 1cc, extra clear
PCB: lunatic 1cc, extra clear
IN: lunatic 1cc, extra clear, all spells captured with Border Team
Shoot the Bullet: extra clear
MoF: lunatic 1cc, extra clear, VoWG timeout
SA: lunatic 1cc, extra clear
UFO: lunatic 1cc, extra clear, perfect normal mode Byakuren.
Double Spoiler: Spoiler clear
GFW: All routes Easy 1cc :V
TD: Reimu lunatic 1cc, extra clear
Marine Benefit 1cc, extra clear for 3 characters/shots.
-
Reimu actually is kind of broken in PoFV.
Which is why I rarely stray from using Yuuka in PoFV.
-
Okay. I've got a lot of new accomplishments since the start of previous thread, so here goes new mandatory list:
EoSD: normal 1CCs with all shottypes, normal no-bombs 1CCs with ReimuB and MarisaA, normal 90 fps 1CC with ReimuB, extra cleared with all girls but Reimu A, all normal cards except Marionette captured.
MoF: normal no-bombs 1CC with ReimuB, hard 1CC with ReimuA, extra clear with Marisa B(ug), all normal spellcards captured.
SA: normal 1CC with ReimuA, stage 5 perfected in practice.
TD: normal and hard 1CCs with all girls except Youmu, normal no-bombs no-trance 1CCs with Reimu and Marisa, normal ultra and 90 fps 1CCs with Reimu, hard no-bombs 1CC with Marisa, Lunatic 1CC with Marisa, all normal and hard spells captured, stage 5 normal perfect pacifist run, 1 billion score break on normal with Reimu.
MB: normal and extra cleared with Reimu A.

Are you sure? From what I've seen, the AI doesn't really care what you throw at it, it can and will dodge pretty much anything unless it doesn't want to. Seeing what the AI is capable of dodging, I really don't see how wins would be feasible any other way. If anything, the situation you describe is an opportunity for the AI to get hit, at least I've never seen it happen frequently enough or in rapid enough a succession to win a match more quickly. An early hit or bringing the AI down to half a sliver of health in round 1 only means that you've got 1 - 2 minutes with no hits in between to go. At least I can, from the top of my head, not recall a single instance where it did help me. Hell, my Lunatic clear had a round 3 match against Eiki that took almost 2 minutes.
In essence, even if the AI likes to get stuck there, it is by no means broken on a level even remotely close to Aya or Medicine where you apparently put the AI into situations in which it just goes "cannot compute" - at least I don't see how a computer would be able to dodge something only occasionally, though it doesn't just get hit all the time when fighting those two either, weird stuff, wonder what that depends on.
I think I'm definitely being overly defensive, though, sorry about that.

So there's this thing that happens in EoSD in which I practice Stage 6 with Reimu A a few times and then it automatically lines me up with 'Extra' instead of 'Practice' when I return to the menu.
This accidentally made me start an Extra run with ReimuA, which is probably the worst choice ever since virtually nothing becomes easier with her homing shot. (yes, even MoL, dispelled exactly like when ReimuB would do it)
I lost three lives to pre-Flandre (extra-long Royal Flare? no thanks) so I was like "what the heck let's do no-bombs").
I died on Starbow Break and capped everything else. The ATWTBN capture in particular was very nice, with WALLS OF BLUE everywhere and my avoiding them like a boss.
And then I died to QED. Which was a tiny bit before capping the damn thing.
Yeah. With ReimuA. The shottype that makes every spell take twice as long.
;-;
-
Oh, is it time for a statdump?
EoSD ~ TD (save for SA Normal) Normal 1cc
IN 75fps Easy 1LC
SA Easy 1 miss clear
... that's about it really.
-
Stuff I'm happy about so far
IN: Border Team Perfect Easy 1CC, Reimu No Focus Easy 1LC, Remilia 2B Easy 1LC, Border Team Normal 1CC, Border Team Extra Clear
MoF: Reimu B Normal 1CC, Reimu A Normal 1CC
UFO: All Easy 1CC
GFW: All Easy 1CC
TD: All Easy 1CC, Perfect Reimu Easy 1CC, Perfect Sanae Easy 1CC, Reimu Normal 1CC
I'm sure there's other neat stuff I've done too. :3

TEN DESIRES LUNATIC 7CC
Wait wait wait, what?
SEVEN continues? How do you even GET that many continues? HOW DOTH THIS FUNCTION?
I only got three when I was trying to unlock Lunatic stages and spellcards for practice and shiz, hence why I gameovered on the Stage 3 boss. ???
-
Are you sure? From what I've seen, the AI doesn't really care what you throw at it, it can and will dodge pretty much anything unless it doesn't want to.
She's nowhere near as broken as Medicine and Aya, no. It only really becomes a reliable thing when the matches go into "crazy mode" (spell points stuck at the maximum, hundreds of bullets reflected at once, you can't cast spells fast enough to run out of spell charge, etc.) Where most characters seem to last forever in that state until you lose, Reimu can allow you to win in those conditions. But yeah, a 1cc with Reimu certainly isn't "cheap" or anything, since that's probably not going to make a difference most of the time. I just meant she had a weird way of hitting the AI that most characters don't have.
It makes the biggest difference in match mode, where the Lunatic AI is effectively invulnerable unless you trick it with something like that.
Also, I think Medicine actually conjures situations that are physically impossible to escape, so with her it's not necessarily a matter of screwing with the AI. The poison slows it down so much that no level of dodging could save it.
-
Are you sure? From what I've seen, the AI doesn't really care what you throw at it, it can and will dodge pretty much anything unless it doesn't want to.
The Lunatic Mode AI on Match Mode will try to dodge everything. If you do something like Reisen vs Mystia you will get a pretty much endless match. So you can find out who can actually hit the AI.
Aya and Medicine are the most obvious. Then there's Shikieiki and Reimu, and I've heard Youmu and Cirno will sometimes hit too.
Achievements:
EoSD: Normal clear with all shot-types. Hard clear with MarisaA.
PCB: Normal clear with MarisaA, Extra clear with MarisaA.
IN: Normal clear with all four teams.
PoFV: Normal clear with the first 9 characters excluding Medicine and Aya, am doing one per day so those two should get done by Sunday.
Pretty much it. Have gotten to the last attack of EoSD extra multiple times :(

I only got three when I was trying to unlock Lunatic stages and spellcards for practice and shiz, hence why I gameovered on the Stage 3 boss. ???
easy/normal = three
hard = six
lunatic = nine
Anyway, accomplishment!
I just captured a Final Card in the middle of a new requested recording for my horrible series.
-
I might as well dump stuff:
Clears (integer games only)
Easy: Th03, Th05-Th13
Normal: Th04-Th13
Hard: Th07, Th08, Th10 (MarisaBug), Th13
Lunatic: Th10 (MarisaBug)
(Strikeouts because I've done it but I didn't feel accomplished about them)
Extra: Th06-Th10 (Not with all shot types, except for Th07)
Phantasm: All cleared except with Marisa B and Sakuya A
I don't feel like posting which characters I did these with for Easy-Hard and I don't remember which games I cleared on Ultra and on what difficulty
-
Honour the Avoidance of Defiance
01 / 01
Hard mode of course :V
Also, 755m score in MoF normal. Quite the increase from my last Normal 1CC which is, I believe, some 400 mil. One death the entire run and it was on an Aya nonspell >_>
-
FUCKING FINALLY. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20065)
Shikieiki can go suck on a railroad spike for all I care, I FUCKING WIN. Three rounds of stalemates to Stage 9, and it ACTUALLY MEANT SOMETHING. Fuck you Shikieiki, Fuck you Komachi, Fuck you Aya,
I FUCKING WIN.
If you cannot tell, I am feeling accomplished right now after seven months of repressed anger against a certain lecturous youkai and her lazy fucking sevant, not to mention a fucking awesome/irritating crow tengu.
-
And then there was one (http://oi39.tinypic.com/21b42aa.jpg)
-
my list
Touhou 6: Lunatic 1cc and perfect Extra, 400m+ with marisaB on it (not that good but it took me a lot of time so i'm proud of it)
Touhou 7: Lunatic 1cc and perfect Extra/Phantasm
Touhou 8: Lunatic 1cc FinalB and 222/222 Spell Card Practice, Extra clear and 2.5b hard finalB
Touhou 9: Lunatic 1cc with Aya
Touhou 10: Perfect Stage 6 Lunatic, perfect Extra, Hard 1cc.
Touhou 11: Perfect Extra, Hard 1cc
Touhou 12: Lunatic 1cc, perfect Extra
Touhou 13: Perfect Stage 6 Lunatic, Extra clear
Photography games: Full clear with Aya on both, and i have some scenes captured with Hatate
and a lot of danmakufu scripts/fan games that i can't remember right now (by the way marine benefit resource system is more retarded than TD, i managed to reach stage 6 on lunatic just bombing everything and milking some patterns of the stage 2 boss)
-
Suppose I should join in. Main Windows games first, all with high damage Reimu:
EoSD: Hard 1cc, Extra clear
PCB: Hard 1cc, Extra clear
IN: Lunatic 1cc, Extra clear
MoF: Hard 1cc, Extra clear
SA: Hard 1cc, Extra clear
UFO: Normal 1cc, Extra clear
TD: Hard 1cc, Extra clear
hmm, are my ideas on difficulty evident enough here?
PoDD: Easy 1cc with Reimu, haven't got around to doing the others.
LLS: Hard 1cc with ReimuA and MarisaB, no extra clear
PoFV: Easy 1cc with most people. Haven't got around to doing it with Aya, Yuuka, Komachi, or Shikieiki yet.
StB: Everything clear except 10-4
DS: Everything clear with both characters
FW: Hard 1cc A1, A2, B2, C2, normal 1cc B1 and C1, Extra clear
Overall not bad. Can't wait to get on my UFO-able computer again.

She's nowhere near as broken as Medicine and Aya, no. It only really becomes a reliable thing when the matches go into "crazy mode" (spell points stuck at the maximum, hundreds of bullets reflected at once, you can't cast spells fast enough to run out of spell charge, etc.) Where most characters seem to last forever in that state until you lose, Reimu can allow you to win in those conditions. But yeah, a 1cc with Reimu certainly isn't "cheap" or anything, since that's probably not going to make a difference most of the time. I just meant she had a weird way of hitting the AI that most characters don't have.
It makes the biggest difference in match mode, where the Lunatic AI is effectively invulnerable unless you trick it with something like that.
Also, I think Medicine actually conjures situations that are physically impossible to escape, so with her it's not necessarily a matter of screwing with the AI. The poison slows it down so much that no level of dodging could save it.
I see, I see, that certainly makes sense. Thanks for the explanations to you and Star King!
-
Imperishable Night perfect hard Stage 3.
Mirror is annoying, Legend of gensoyko is annoying, the midboss nonspell is annoying, so I'm surprised I got all 3 in the same run first try.

Do you think it's unfair to 30FPS a game on Lunatic just so that you can unlock the stages for practice mode? (I.E. UFO and SA)

I could be wrong, but I think I remember someone posted somewhere else a while back that watching replays will unlock stages for practice? If that's the case then you don't really need to bother, but I'm probably hallucinating or something like that.

I'd say no because the continue system in SA/UFO is lousy, but you could also take someone else's score.dat if you want to practice.
Edit: time to post something relevant to the OP
PoDD Lunatic 1cc Reimu

Do you think it's unfair to 30FPS a game on Lunatic just so that you can unlock the stages for practice mode? (I.E. UFO and SA)
Hmm, depends on the player. For instance, I never used Continues to unlock stages for Practice - made each unlocked stage an achievement. I just treated each new stage like a 1CC run and practiced the previous stages like a full run, practicing everything until I became good enough to get through the new stage pretty much blind, letting me unlock it. Others use continues, so I don't really see why playing at 30FPS would make much of a difference - it only depends on you.
-

As far as I'm concerned, whatever helps you get better is a good thing. Savestates on PC-98 games, 30FPS'ing to unlock stuff for practice etc etc.
End result's the same. So why not?
-
That's just for Touhou 10. I tried that two months ago and it didn't work.

A purist? Most certainly not, but the term hasn't exactly been defined in this context anyway, so who cares, do what you think is right and call it a day.
-
I used continues. Lots and lots of them, for SA and UFO.
I also abused the "watching replay unlocks stage" bug to practice VoWG - there was no other way I was going to 1cc MoF.

Not even a stage 6 continue to practice the stage?
-
I used continue to ulock stage 6 for practice only once before my first normal (EoSD) 1CC ever. Since then i always try to clear a game without continues and practice final stage after that to improve the run.
-
Not even a stage 6 continue to practice the stage?
The stage is really easy anyways (with bombs and Marisa C it's a no brainer), and Kanako can be bombed through easily... until VoWG.
There was no way I was going to continue 10000 times for the very short practice on VoWG (very short because having only 2 lives and very little experience with the card, I die really really quickly). That card is quite infamously hard - especially on newbies.
When I first started out with VoWG, I could easily eat 4 lives on it.
On my lunatic 1cc, I got here with either 1 life (Reimu B) or 0 life (Marisa C).
The only reason I passed is due to reasonably good VoWG performance.
Also, I did use continues to get stages 1-5 unlocked, but stage 6 would just take too long.
I couldn't unlock the SA stage 6 either, but at least I got to practice every single spell with continues.
Aaand, of course some miracle happened with LFS so I got UFO stage 6 practice.
-
EDIT: FUCKING HELL MeGUI ACTUALLY PROCESS A VIDEO CORRECTLY YOU ASSMUFFIN

I know this feeling. I've been there before.
I actually don't use MeGUI anymore simply because the colossal shitepile has never managed to process a video properly for me. It always comes out like how scratched DVD's play, skippy.
-
YES
I didn't derp my way through Otohime's fight using Marisa :V
Marisa's extra must be easier than Reimu's D:
Reimu score: Extra 039, 619, 880, Normal 131, 007, 930
Marisa's score: Extra 130, 633, 580, Normal 145, 858, 000
And this was a first try, mind you :V
-
Reached Yumemi with three lives. I was Chiyuri. I lost, but whatever. :I
I really hate to say this, but the final match really comes down to luck as this character. Some of Yumemi's attacks are easy to dodge, some are impossible, and sometimes she just uses spell attacks repeatedly instead of boss attacks. You just hope she doesn't decide to kill you. Most characters can recharge between bosses, but with Chiyuri Yumemi's presence on your side of the field is practically constant, so... yeah.
Well then, technically I already cleared with Chiyuri, so I'm happy with getting a "well-played" run that nonetheless failed. Someday I'll get it, but for now I've done enough PoDD. I seem to recall wanting to try UFO at 90fps, and there's always the revenge I must take on EoSD.
EDIT:
Well I played UFO a bit (at 60fps) and I have some serious improvements, mainly against Byakuren. Since I haven't played at all, I assume this means I just got better. I have no fear of micrododging Byakuren's second nonspell at least, and in fact prefer it to the method I always thought was better. Still worried about that curvy laser spell though.
-
New guy here, I'll list my accomplishments while I still can. I just started working on UFO hard so I will be in the rage thread......a lot :(.
Easy mode 1ccs-Lls, MS, EosD, PCB, IN, MoF, SA, UFO, TD.
Normal mode 1ccs- Lls, MS, EosD, PCB, IN, MoF, SA, UFO, TD.
Hard mode 1ccs-Lls, MS, EosD, PCB, IN, MoF, SA.
Easy mode 90 Fps 1cc-SA
Extra mode clears-PCB,MoF. I've been pretty lazy when it comes to extra mode : /
-
"Light Magic" is one of my favorite spells now because it's all about side-reading and I really need to work on that, so I play that spell often.
In recent news, I decided to play PCB again after about a month of not playing it and graduated myself to Hard mode for kicks too. Although it wasn't a 1CC by any means, I did manage a healthy 2CC with two lives left at the end of 50% Reflowering. Compare that to six months ago when a 1CC of Normal was almost impossible. :)
-

Hello there new guy and welcome. UFO Hard huh? Good luck with that.
-
And speaking of UFO, I just some good runs of stage 5. Perfected the stage part twice. The first time Shou went terribly, the next she killed me three times, which is good by my standards. It seems it is actually possible to improve at this stage after you get raped enough times. :V
-
That's what I was thinking, it's just I don't think a purist would exactly like that.
P...Purists? This IS MotK I'm on right now right? Anyway, if there's anything I learned from my STG experience, it's fuck purists. Those guys are all about their CRTs and scanlines and $800 PCBs of games with perfectly fine ports. And for the ones who do buy the ports, you can be damn sure they turn their TV on its side. Stage practice? Game pads? KEYBOARDS?! Perish the thought! Guys like ISO and HFD got great with their coin-op machines and sticks, so clearly that is the BEST way to play! So go support your local arcade today!! 8)
On another note, this (http://www.mediafire.com/?mrogyuxw1zi) contains everything except SA (haven't used these yet, but I assume it's all shot types), which I have here (http://www.mediafire.com/?xs6i8hi88ls8dm5) for ReimuA. I also cheated for stage practice though :V. Raise fps to speedclear, cheatengine to infinite lives, and away we go~.

Here's how to deal with the spellcards:
Jeweled Pagoda "Radiant Treasure"
Dodge in the direction of the wave that has the flat wall directed at you on each wave. It's easier to go through one wall than it is to go through two curves.
Light Sign "Absolute Justice"
Remain between lasers. Dodge to another lane when a wall gets close.
Buddhist Art "Most Valuable Vajra"
JUST BOMB. BOMB IT. I HATE THIS CARD AND I KNOW HOW TO DO IT.
Light Sign "Demon of Purification"
Stay huddled at the bottom and just dodge the waves. On both waves the lasers cannot kill you.
-
I find it easier to go through the two curves since the spaces are bigger, though naturally I just follow Shou. Anyway, I just got a run against her that I am certain would have been "perfect" if I hadn't been at 1:00 power for the whole fight. >:I
And yeah, the stage is still annoying. An absurd amount of difficulty comes from inability to see clearly.
-
Esu, I don't offer advice on UFO Lunatic. Especially considering that you are offering advice to Normal mode cards and the advice for one of them being to bomb it.
And the last spell's laser can kill you if you hug the bottom on half the waves.
-
Imperishable Shooting in-stage capture!

This run doesn't :V
Let's see...
S1: 2/2
S2: 3/4 (bombed final spell)
S3: 3/4 (bombed final spell)
S4: 2/4 (captured the first one and Sinker Ghost =D )
S5: 3/5 (missed Shou's first 2)
S6: 3/6 (Missed 3rd, 4th and last, almost cpautred Devil's Recitation. Only went for the first spell to spite Esupanitix show him how it's done)
TOTAL: 16/25 spells captured. Not bad for a no focus run, and it's a NEW personal best score for UFO normal too!
-
I got up to Hourai Jewel in yet another attempt at unlocking Blazing Star.
It was annoying to fail at that point, though.
-
Yeah!
I'm going to No Focus UFO Normal too!
jeez esu how trendy are you
I'm also going to try to score blues, so a 1CC might be pretty far off :V
@thread
Otohime's final 2/2 is an achievement, right?
-
jeez esu how trendy are you
I felt like redo-ing something I'd already done ages ago to do it way better and hey look something I did ages ago I could do way better now.
Didn't mention that I cleared 5/0 in my run this time as opposed to 0/0 before.
-
After many tries, I finally managed to ND1B the first three stages of UFO Lunatic (bomb on PSM of course). Why the hell am I doing this, you ask? Part of a pet project of mine, which is to get a no-UFO 1cc on Lunatic. Why am I doing that, you ask? Because of this seemingly insatiable desire to prove the UFO tokens as worthless. I died stupidly on Murasa's opener of all things in that run, which is probably for the best since I accidentally picked up 2 tokens during Stage 4. When I'll get this, I don't know, but unlike most other challenges I have left this one feels like it actually has some meaning to it.
-

Most of my failures on solo Reimu hard were here-don't give up, and remember that 1 life should be enough if you don't worry about reversing.
-
Well, progress has been made on Mokou.
Game over'ed to Fuijyama Volcano and capped Honest Man's Death and Xu Fu's Dimension on the way there, quite a few nonspells too. Mokou's non spells seem quite easy to me, so less bombs and silly deaths the better. Who knows, might beat her one of these days, really oughta take what I've got off her and EX Keine into Spell practice and get consistent at a few of them.
Xu Fu's Dimension confuses me, nothing but the rice bullets and the red amulets when they start moving seem to actually hurt me, so I normally just stream to one side inbetween the red amulets and it seems to work. Also, Honest Man's Death is lol, while I'm glad I've got the trick figured out, how the hell do they expect you to have the necessary brain aneurysm required to try moving into the laser as it spawns.
It's literally counter-intuitive to what anyone with any video game experience at all would first think to do. :V
-
Perfect Utsuho in an actual 1cc run - Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20097)
This was part of me working on my "clear normal in all Windows games with all shottypes" objective. My first run with MarisaC to reach Utsuho, and I perfect her. Therefore I will never play MarisaC on normal again because I have perfect 1/1 records on all her normal spells. Also my highest score in SA normal to date (no, I never really try scoring at all)
-
PoFV Lunatic Marisa clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20098)! Now I can say I did it without using a broken character :VVV
-
Ah, Reimu Solo Hard. It was the character that got me into scorerunning.

It's literally counter-intuitive to what anyone with any video game experience at all would first think to do. :V
Xu Fu's supergrazing method still confuses me. I can't find a pattern or rhythm to follow, like when I graze Honest Man's Death. And I'll admit, HMD is an incredibly stupid card. It took me a few hundred attempts to figure out before I thought "Hey! I don't think ZUN wanted to make an Extra card this difficult...". Then I got to the Rings of Death :V
-
I guess this counts, I no-death UFO Stage portion and got my first death right before Danmaku Chimera
then failed at Green UFO Invasion and lost my last life at Undefined Darkness but this isn't the rage thread

Eh.
UFO Lunatic MarisaB 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20104).

Captured Guerrilla Typhoon for the first time :D
EDIT: Throw in Scarlet Gensokyo (Hard) to my list :3
-
Ugh, I am so bad at UFO's Extra stage. I need to really plan out a good UFO route to clear bullets and memorize the spam fairy locations. Somehow, I managed to make it all the way to Nue with 3 extra lives and 1 bomb just now and made it all the way to the nonspell after Danmaku Chimaera. It was the first time I had seen Snake Show and Blue UFOs. Progress is progress.

Yes, until I messed and walled myself in Stage 4 at which point I figured "go for the 1200 extend!" which I missed by 32 but whatever.
-
> 1168 point items

Might I assume the >300m difference between your and my PCB Hard clears is due to difference in Cherry?
(or perhaps because i used sakuyA)
because I got 1,300 Points and still only eked out a little over 600,000,000
either way, congrats, but
-
Might I assume the >300m difference between your and my PCB Hard clears is due to difference in Cherry?
Presumably this because Cherry goes up when you capture spells and I captured 24 :V
Also this is my 5th or so hard clear because I haven't bothered to play it much.
-

so much for bombing all of chen
*grinds stage 2 practice
also i'm going to try to learn how to use sakuyaB so i can bullet freeze hax
THEN MAYBE I CAN GET A BILLION in a game that isn't imperishable night
-
Capturing spells also increases the worth of cherry items. And SakuyaA generates Cherry+ at snail speed, unless maybe you shotgun unfocused.
I became addicted to Shou suddenly. I've perfected her three times, though each run had one death to Vajra. I think I'm doing something wrong with that spell. I'm glad Shou can't rape me anymore though. The only really hard part is if she "shotguns" you with her second nonspell, though runnning into the corner helps to counter that.

Yet more proof that you should never ragequit. This was a hilariously bad start that somehow kept straining itself to the end. I haven't had my blood pumping like that ending for quite a while, phew.
EDIT: Less impressive and without a replay, but a follow-up playthrough of phantasm yielded a BoLaD capture without using the safespot. :dragonforce:
-
Not even 705705710? Disappointing.
Seriously though, that's awesome. It'll be quite a while before I could manage a thing like that.
-
My first capture of The Descent of Izuna Gongen used the safespot.
I never even knew there was a safespot.
Does that count as a capture?

I double KOed a BoLaD capture.
THAT IS STILL AN ACHIEVEMENT AND I WILL MAIM ANYONE WHO SAYS OTHERWISE

@Esupanitix
Achievements are relative.
I didn't tell you to go and do a higher difficulty on shit when you cleared things.
You're trolling.
I've been putting up with internet trolls and cyberbullying for eight years and I find it nothing short of unacceptable.
You are dead to me.
@Thread
Captured MoF easy what
-
That is not an achievement. Come to my house and hurt me.
I'll put up with a lot of stuff.
Caps lock rage walls about how you want kill some character/ZUN, fine, every once in a while.
Jokingly saying "now do it with Marisa" or the like after someone does something, fine, as long as you aren't serious (or if you are, if it's not a dumb suggestion. see MMX's response to my MoF hard no vertical run for a good instance of this.)
But flat out telling someone what they did isn't an achievement is crossing the line.
I didn't tell you "your UFO no focus normal run isn't an achievement because mine had 5 lives left and captured way way way more spells", because as Chisou said, it's all relative.
I'm not saying stop posting, I'm saying try to be more respectful to your fellow forumgoers (and don't pull "this is how I am IRL, because then I'll just say be more respectful IRL)
This is the last time I will address you like this Esu, I don't like calling people out on stuff like this but personal attacks cross the line for me.
In other, mostly unrelated news, 2 consecutive 'captures' of VoWG lunatic is nice. It's in quotes because I was trying to time it out but lasted 70 second each time, which is enough to capture with ReimuB

Probably better than I could do

Second 1cc! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20134)
This feels weird because it took me a couple of attempts with the "bomb everything" mindset using ReimuB, but i can't do the same thing with MarisaA... (i had a lot of runs with a lot of resources before Shou/midboss Nazrin, but for some reason i always decide that i'm going to "CAPTURE THIS SHIT", and then i fail miserably :V)
-
Hey, that's strange. I just did my own second 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20140) of UFO, with ReimuB. :wat:
Much better than my first 1cc. The only problem was Shou, despite my recent practice runs against her. Byakuren could have been better too, so yeah, room for improvement. The biggest accomplishment here is getting over my hatred of the UFO system. Took me long enough to realize how fun this game is. :derp:
-
Don't worry about it. Shou's the kinda gal who lures you to believe that you really got her down and then when you've got your back turned she leaps for the jugular. That's just how she is.
So, what I really want to know: The last sentence... does that mean that you know find the UFO system to be good? Your next goal is to realize that the game is best game in the series. Why? Because dat Stage *insert stage number here* boss man...
-
Captured MoF easy what
Nice job. I think that one might be even harder than VoWG. I should try to cap it myself actually :V.
Your next goal is to realize that the game is best game in the series.
I wish I could do that... I hate UFO with a burning passion. Take how much I loved pokemon as a kid, multiply that by -2, and you have my hate for UFO.
-
Oh man it's been a while since I posted here.
Anyway I just realized it's been 3 years now since I first started playing Touhou and later other shmups.
So I figured I had to do something Touhou related to celebrate.
So here's an EoSD Ultra 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20144)
First try funnily enough. :D
Some sick dodging here and there. Also lots of running into bosses because I can't remember stuff.
-
In fact I do like the UFO system. Once you've figured out the general idea for each area they're pretty fun to work with. Playing as someone who can move while bombing probably helped me see things that way as well. :derp: It's a system that works just fine if your only goal is chasing down the red ones, but it also provides lots of comlexity if you really want to get further into it than that. I might even go so far as to say that scoring the game might be interesting to me, though the thought of mindlessly grazing things still turns me off.
So yeah, I won't hesitate to say it's my favorite of the "normal" games, but I'm still a Phantasmagoria dork. :D
Also congrats Jaimers. Unfortunately I don't which Ultra it is so I can't watch it. D:
-
I wish I could do that... I hate UFO with a burning passion. Take how much I loved pokemon as a kid, multiply that by -2, and you have my hate for UFO.
I know the feeling. Here's what you gotta do. Keep making a few stabs at it now and then. Make a bit of progress and when the game get's too annoying, you stop playing it and come back later. Eventually you get good enough to love it.
It's a tough love though. It is the kind of game that doesn't feel bad about totally ruining your day and then ask you to spend 3 minutes of nothing before you can try again.
@Zil
Have you seen the kind of grazing is involved? It's not exactly a mindless process though I can still understand what you mean. That's how it often is for me. Find a score system that's interesting but it's got a few elements in it that you really don't like and those are mandatory to properly score which kills the interest.
-
UFO has been getting to "best game" for me recently, since SA stole it from PCB stole it from MoF.
Which is weird, because I don't like UFO collection.
Okay, I do.
I hate being bad at UFO collection, which is an inevitablity.
Anyway, I'm about to take a second try at 90FPS MoF. Let's see if I can beat Nitori this time :V
If I'm getting stopped up by Aya at 60 AND at 90 FPS, then there's a bit of a problem :getdown:
-
Have you seen the kind of grazing is involved?
Oh boy oh boy luckbased Unzan Eye safespotting.
Honestly the only time I've ever seen a grazing system implemented that I actually found fun was in ExCeed 3rd and Trigonometry Wars 4. And Psyvariar probably.
UFO system is fun though.
Unfortunately I don't which Ultra it is so I can't watch it. D:
I think it was the latest version. The site has a new 2012 version up.

Progress Sign "Peta Flare"
The Bomb Everything Philosophy is working out so far.
Oh, right. Mt. Ooe timeout 0. Power capture, which was basically a few seconds short of a timeout. Woooooo.

EoSD Extra 90fps Clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20157)
This was my secret little treat for quite a while now. And by that, I mean a few days. On the first time I tried this I could tell this would be insanely fun, and indeed it was.
It's like a return to the first time you tacked the stage. Four of a Kind is suddenly a big challenge. Maze of Love is impossible to spiral around. ATWTBN's red waves are unreadable. QED is a brick wall. So much fun~
The only major derps in this run is a death to the *easy* books part and, as usual, to Catadioptric, which is even MORE unparalleled derp than on 60fps. Pros include a Cranberry Trap capture and a cool red wave dodge in ATWTBN. Silent Selene cap is not really a pro since the capture is almost always completely dependent on her movement (or lack thereof).
I probably should have learned a way to NOT waste a bomb on Royal Flare EVERY RUN, but eh, lazy.
I capped Starbow Break on two consecutive runs once. Can't do it since. ;-;
Really the only cards I didn't capture ever were: Phil Stone, MoL, Counterclock, ATWTBN and QED.
Speaking of Counterclock, those lasers like tackling you out of nowhere. Happened a few times. I think I'm scarred for life.
Oooooooh I'm so happy right now. This was so fun.
-
I wouldn't say it's impossible. (http://oi44.tinypic.com/1222rf8.jpg) >:D

For the sake of exaggeration, it is. :colbert:

Consecutive timeouts of Alice's last two spells at 90FPS. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlvpwtpgJig)

I finally did it! Four and half year of training from hell!

Wow, congrats ^^
What shottype is that, Marisa..... what?
Anyway, achievement get:
Spring Sign - Jade of the Horrid River 01 / 10
wondering why that took me so long BUT OKAY
on a sidenote i cannot do seven stones and trees anymore because it went from 8 / 8 to 8 / 10 :fail:
-

Lasers.
Nice job on Jade of the Horrid River, I think that spell ended more perfect attempts than any other spell in the stage for me.

Good job, dot_asp!

Ha ha, nice job. That's a very competitive game to score in, I hear. Must feel good.
Marisa A is not really tight. Only 4 scores breakthrough (http://score.royalflare.net/th12/history12.html#L4C2) that is greater than 600M for 2 years.
Still feeling great though ;)
Wow, just wow. But HOLYSHITYOUALMOSTGOTCLIPPEDBYTHATLASTBULLETBEFORENUEDIED,
Yes. I had enough bad luck in the past, that fortune balanced them out. :D

But shotgunning is so funnnn~

Sure go ahead I won't mind.

Another WR. Congratulations .ASP! :toot:
Unrelated: I've just "captured" the EosD books for the first time in my life. Of course I wasn't recording.
-
26 scenes cleared thus far in 90FPS Shoot the Bullet. Just got 3-1 and 6-5.
This is starting to grow on me, even though it repeatedly hands me my ass on a platter. :V
-
I may have learned something big to help me perfect UFO Stage 5 Lunatic. You know the fairy rush after Nazrin that is usually hell with narrow shots like ReimuA? Normally I find a spot in the lower-left corner and sit there hoping the fairies don't shit in my face, but expanding my spot to about double that space and going back and forth almost in a rhythm is somehow making it easier. Coupled with me getting just a bit better at Greatest Treasure lately, this will help me get more quality runs out to Shou.
-
Here's the EoSD Ultra Lunatic 1cc played by Jaimers and recorded by me. :3

Game over to Scarlet Meister at 90fps. This was probably the greatest I will ever do against Remi. If it weren't for losing a life to her with all three bombs still attached I could've reached Scarlet Gensokyo. I'm not sure what to think of this, but it just may be possible to 1cc if I can hold on to enough lives for the end. How many will I need to beat Scarlet Gensokyo with no dodging? :derp:

Wow, that sounds harsh, I really wouldn't want to go through that at 90FPS. What shottype are you using? And did you have any Bombs for Scarlet Meister?

-
Wow, that sounds harsh, I really wouldn't want to go through that at 90FPS. What shottype are you using? And did you have any Bombs for Scarlet Meister?
ReimuA, and I was out of bombs for that spell. It's tough to decide between A and B for this since they both have their strengths and weaknesses, but I seem to have the most success as ReimuA. I'm going to try tolerating a few mid-stage bombs as ReimuB to see if she ends up saving resources in the long run by making the bosses slightly easier. I'm not used to being dependent on actually capturing spells as part of my strategy! D:

I see, figured that using Reimu A would have its merits at 90FPS. Don't know if it helps for not or if you're using the same strategy anyway, but if you wind up as Reimu B against Scarlet Meister, maybe you could use this strategy I came up with for my first clear since my mindset was quite similiar to yours as far as capturing spells is concerned. It's nothing major and I never really bothered checking if anyone else used it since I didn't watch replays by other people up until some time ago, but it works quite well with the right timing, so I figured I'd better ask since I really loved how I could always push further in EoSD by squeezing out more resources everywhere I could despite the general scarcity, so maybe this will help you.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwuwiJyTSIE#t=3m22s (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwuwiJyTSIE#t=3m22s)
No idea how easy it is to reproduce it at 90FPS, but you can practice it on Hard Mode just fine, the timing isn't any different.
-
(Youtube) Yay, first capture of Wild Deserted Island and a no-horizontal capture of Wild Carpet Overdrive. Balancing fail. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ab1Ny60CyYM)
-
That's excellent. I think I can certainly pull that off if I get that far, and any way to save myself a bomb is going to be valuable. I watched that 1cc of yours once before and I recall seeing some cool moves like that, so I think I'll have to see if I can learn anything else from it. Thanks for the advice. :D
-
No problem, always glad if I can help!
-
Yeah ReimuB is really good against Scarlet Gensokyo.
One other thing to note to make it easier is that after dying or bombing you can sit on top of Remilia to clear all dangerous bullets in the next wave. This gives you time to shotgun her and with ReimuB you will do a huge amount of damage. You can see me do it in the Ultra 1cc.
I'm guessing 1/3 will do it to beat it without dodging.
-
Does that ultra patch give autobombs or is Jaimers really so good that he always deathbombs? Also nice job on that man.
-
I'd say it's autodeathbombing caused by the ultra patch.
-
So I just cleared Imperishable Night extra again.
This time without dying.
and with 13 captures at that
Only failed Imperishable Shooting because derp rings spawn outward.
2 deathbombs, to the 7th and 8th nonspells.

Nice work, everyone. Especially you, .ASP. But the rest of you as well.
I also just made an achievement that means quite a bit to me, since I've been giving this game's scoring system quite a lot of my time lately. I like it, yes, but it is nice to see how you achieve something after working hard. It's a lot like it was with SFN, the road itself was bumpy, and frustrating at points, but still enjoyable.
Of course, I am no man to beat WR's, at least not yet, so my mainly competitors are people I look up to, and myself. Especially myself. And I beat myself today.
(http://i.imgur.com/cdsLf.png)
With 2.6b Magic team.Good job, Seppo! Don't you just love how Marisa has the capacity to completely dismantle boss familiar to make the fights easier? 2 Billion is my current goal, so your run looks pretty godly to me.
This dude (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20179) is a bit more godly. At least since he beat my score without pulling the supergraze on the fourth last spell, which cost him at least 40m. And he still beat me.

Oh god that's good to hear. Thank you Jaimers. I was kind of fearing that Scarlet Gensokyo would kill me off unless I reached it with some impossible number of resources, but with that technique, and the power of ReimuB, I should be able to clear. Getting there with 1/3 will hopefully be within my abilities if I can clean up my act in stages 3 and 4.

Wow, that's brave, don't think I could have done that, would have been too scared of getting the timing wrong, though I guess it's bearable if you can actually practice it on the respective difficulty.
-
Finally cleared all scenes 1-3 at 90FPS StB.
I swear, at 90FPS there is no time to read the lasers on 3-6 and it turns the whole card into total luckshit. Lost count of the number of attempts that one took.
Also capped 6-4, so just 2 more and I'll have reached stage 7. I remember hating Sakuya with a fiery passion at 60FPS. This is going to be torturous. :ohdear:
-
I finally cleared IN Hard with Reimu solo!
Overall, this run wasn't that great, especially the Reisen fight. I got to her with 5 lives (or was it 6? I can't remember) and was jumpy because I'd been doing alright so far, so my fingers were just stabbing the left and right keys and moving too close to bullets, causing me to panic and bomb several times when I shouldn't have. I got to Kaguya with 3 lives, however I DID get the last extend this time. At first I was doing pretty badly, but this time I captured Salamander Shield and did pretty well for the first half of Hourai Jewel (except the very beginning which I screwed up because I was too high up the screen when the card started). I ended 0/0, but now I have all the last words unlocked and this is finally done.
Now back to trying to get a lunatic 1cc.
-
Eosd lunatic 1cc! I love it when you don't play ages and you pull something like this off :V
-
>Early death to DBDB on Lunatic Stage 4 practice
"Let's time it out, then."
Which is what happens.
I can't tell if this was a ~in the zone~ moment or copious amounts of luck. God damn.
-
PCB Hard no focus left half of the screen only clear. It was surprisingly easy though...
EDIT: Aaaaaaaaaand no focus Lunatic! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20188) That one was much more exciting!
-
Oh me gods, Lunatic clears all over the place. Gratz to Puffy and Chirpy for those EoSD clears. And good luck to Chirpy with them UFO's.
-
wow nice job on that PCB no focus, bet you never expected to clear it with a life in stock huh?
-
I was a bit worried about the run when I got through Alice, but thankfully it picked itself back up after that... Partially thanks to border abuse :ohdear:. It was nice to finish off with a bit of breathing room there in any case. I feel a bit bad about letting my reflowering cap fall apart, but I guess it's alright :V.
-
Hina's final card timeout. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20190)
As by request actually because it wasn't done before? Anyway it get's pretty crazy the longer it goes on.
I also managed to set up a sort of spellpractice mode in order to do this. Let's see if you can figure it out from watching the replay. :justasplanned:
-
The only thing I can think of is that you somehow set it up to remember your input and had it play through the stage for you. Or maybe you had a bunch of windows open and played them all at once. No idea really, but I'm curious because I'd love to spellpractice VoWG. :derp:
-
Do want MoF spell practice.
Actually for all the games, it'd make capturing every spellcard achievable for me without going crazy :V
-
Managed to get to Byakuren with 0/0 on Hard, a 1cc can't be too far off. Also somehow managed a perfect Ichirin despite never capturing her second card before, which is kind of cool.
-
I actually just set up CheatEngine to run everything before the spell at 300 fps. While holding the bomb button it took like 10 seconds to get back there. :V

After many failed attempts, 7 of which got to the final stage, I finally cleared B1 Hard (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20200)! I didn't die in Shooting Sapphire and somehow pulled off a Bright Night capture. That's all routes done on Hard :)

Wow, I'm dreading B1, easily the most difficult one on Normal, congratulations! Just cleared my first route on Hard, A1, the game's definitely more fun on Hard, I just love how you can recover from pretty much any amount of mistakes if you know how to handle the patterns, it kind of allows me to actually relax while playing. Figuring the patterns out is lots of fun as well, really love how you can completely defuse some patterns if you know when and where to freeze.
-
Speaking of Fairy Wars, who needs Ice? :V
Have a small collection of Gold 'Medalled' cards here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVrLEu1ymHA) - There are many badass spells in this game. There are also some that are quite horribly designed but those can just be frozen over and forgotten about.
-
Just captured Possessed By Phoenix three times in a row during Spell Practice. It's 90% strategy, 9% skill, and 1% luck on where the random pink bullets go. If I can make it through the blue arrowhead wave, the rest is a piece of cake. I've never died on the spell after that part.
-
You guys, there's a problem
I think that Kanako's final Mountain of Faith on Normal is getting too easy for me, because I captured it in a run that literally failed everything else
Also, my history on it is some 2 out of 7 total, sooooo what is going on
Does this mean that I should be able to clear VoWG on Hard mode now? Because that's a brick wall now for some reason.
-
Aha...ha ha ha...
I just capped Inflation Square.
At 90FPS.
With only 61 pre-clear photos.
:]
(also capped Bloody Magic Square with only 51)

Okay, so this will be horrible, but I'm on Normal, so it shouldn't floor me.
Huh, I just perfected that. Also, Nue.
Perfected all that crap that happens after Nue. Had the insight to save one blue UFO for the blues spam shortly afterward.
Got to Murasa with what I believe was 100,000,000 points...
Surely this couldn't go too well.
..
...
Hello, perfect Murasa performance?
Next time, let's not breeze through the ending crap and actually save the replay.
It also doubles as my first Sinker Ghost cap :toot:
I say go for it. Even if you fail over and over again, VoWG is hella fun, so it's okay.

Rage thread that way ->

Perfect lunatic stage 5 midboss Sakuya. I can't believe I survived her nonspell, but apparently I've gotten better at squeezing through those red kunais.
Speaking of red kunais, when facing her in stage 6 I was confident about moving through them, and I managed to capture her opener that way :V
-
Rage thread that way ->
Except that each of those was sort of an accomplishment.
Since Flandre played 'get back here' and I still perfected up to Catadioptrics.
MoF Stage 6 perfect lunatic stage part, also ran out the clock on VoWG.
and phantasm, I perfected the whole stage for the first time ever.
-
Fun run of SA Stage 3 Lunatic, capture all four of Yuugi's cards in the same run, three of them for the first time. Still amazed I captured Mt. Ooe with 1 power, actually.
Shortly followed by a perfect stage 2 in two tries, and the first one only had a single death due to greed. <_<

New personal best for UFO Lunatic with no UFOs, perfected everything up to Murasa. Died once each with bombs in stock on her second and third cards though, ruining any real chance to finish. Now I realize just how long it's been since I last played her through. I need to re-familiarize myself with her stuff (except her last nonspell lol).
What's bugging me is I still have no clue how much I can trust Stage 5 to cooperate even to a semi-reasonable degree. I may consider certain parts as autobombs already, but in case I need to use a few more to save myself, I don't want to end up using too many resources before Byakuren either. Can anyone here offer insight into how the typical Stage 5 run went when going for a no-UFO Lunatic 1cc?
-
Not that I've done a no UFO run, but if you time out Nazrin's nonspell then bomb the spell you probably skip the arrowhead faries and go straight to the part where they fly across the screen, if that's helpful.
-
Speaking of UFO, first Hard 1cc. No deaths until boss Ichirin with some surprising captures (Nazrin's finisher, Kogasa's finisher, Vajra to name a few) and I still end up with a life left.
On one hand, I'm happy because I 1cced Hard. On the other hand, I'm sad because it means now I'll have to play Lunatic if I want to do anything better.

If you haven't done it, play Hard without summoning and Red and Green UFOs :3
On topic, cleared Ten Desires Hard with someone who isn't Youmu (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20215) :toot:

No reds? Hell no, the only reason I made it so far was because I built up eight lives before Murasa. >_>

Virtue of Wind God 2 death no bomb timeout!
Deaths are at 99 (right as the timer starts ticking down, every time, like clockwork) and 14 (misread a wall and tried to squeeze through a closing gap).
I can totally time this out perfectly.
-
Do it. It would be awesome. BV
And I've finally reached a good conclusion for which EoSD shottype to use. It will be ReimuA for a number of reasons. Now I just have to practice...
-
GFW hard C2 clear.
0/0 going into the final card, get a bomb, use the bomb to get a life, die, clear 0/0.
Sounds about right.
-
Oh god this is excellent. Not only have I found a way to abuse Sakuya's midboss spell, but I can run down the timer to skip the random spam right after. Just need a reliable way to do Misdirection and I can get through the stage with only one bomb, or none if I'm lucky/not at full power going in. Getting better at Koakuma and other crap in stage 4. 1-3 are dead-set. The World still needs work, and all of Remilia, but this is actually coming together. \o/
-
Go for gold.
If the S5 Midboss method involves going above Sakuya, then yeah, it's actually kind of a known method. :I
You can memorize Misdirection more or less.
-
Yeah and The World can be trivialized by misdirecting it on the right or left wall.
This was all covered in the ultra run man ;_;
-
I didn't watch the stages that I was still working on because I wanted to figure what I could on my own, then see if I missed anything after that. :D
I knew about misdirecting The World (who doesn't?), but I need to... refine my technique, I guess.
-
Midboss Sakuya is extremely easy using that method, though you have to be careful when getting back in front of her since the transition is somewhat dangerous, think it was when she moved left, no idea anymore, been too long. I'd always go down around the 10 second mark to have enough time left to actually finish her off.
Guess it doesn't matter much with Reimu A, though, do the homing shots deal enough damage to deplete her entire healthbar before the timer reaches 0?
On another note, I certainly love your mindset, that's how men play, figuring out things on their own!
-
No, the homing shots alone aren't enough to finish it off.
I found this out the hard way.
-
Yikes, my condolences. Well, guess it will at the very least relieve some of the pressure when it comes to actually finishing the job.
-
LLS Normal 1cc! (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/844/20120414170355.jpg/)
...okay, i know that doesnt entirely prove it, but i forgot to take a picture of the screen after it. Regardless. It is done.
-
You can damage Sakuya from above if you stand on Sakuya's head.
This is not hard to do even at 90 fps - I just tried.
No need to go back down, plus you get 2k+ graze.
Basically for the first wave, left/right/up, and for any other wave, right/left/right/up.
Left = stand slightly left of Sakuya's head, right = slightly right, up = move up before the last red wave so you don't get tackled.
-
Yeah, you can hit her head if you get close enough, though I drop down just before ending it so I have more time to position myself for the spell. I just checked Jaimers' Ultra run and I'm pretty much doing exactly what he did. :V The only thing that trips me up there when she goes the wrong direction, but if I'm paying attention I can deal with that, I think.
-
2nd on rf :)
a good place to graze honest man's death would be amazing

Continue #3266442 for UFO Stage 6 Lunatic practice unlock, same old, same old, bomb here, bomb here, enter LFS with one life, try not to die too soon?
(http://i.imgur.com/kqtEK.png)
wait, what did I just do?
-
Opened up IN for spell practice modo since why not, finished off Ex-Keine's last word, finally got a capture on Kaguya's lunatic Lifespring Infinity (Only using vertical when dodging the star rings made it a MILLION times easier for me and it only took a few tries), and AUUUGH TACKLING FANTASY HEAVEN
After a half hour I got to where I had a strategy that allowed me to consistently reach the 3 seconds left part of the card with absolutely no issues unless I derped it up or Reimu got abnormally close to the bottom. The 3 second part was impossible.
And then, in the same run where I figured out how to consistently dodge the wave at 3 seconds, she was high up enough I think that I just ran along the bottom and up the right side to dodge the rest and woohoo 8) Rewatching the replay (http://puu.sh/pKqJ) over and over because finallllyyyyyy (Some of the movements are overly flamboyant because it made it slightly more interesting to go wheeeeeeeeeee)
Now the only thing I have left to capture is GODDAMN LUNATIC HOURAI JEWEL AUGH. This thing still seems entirely impossible. I can figure out how to stream at the bottom, but the technique I'm copying from this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiVb9-o-x_s) I have sooooo much trouble pulling off. I know -when- I need to make the redirection jump, but just... bleeegh.
Still, awww yeah Lifespring Infinity and learned how to consistently Fantasy Heaven (At the least consistently to 1~2 seconds left). Also poked lunatic Starlight Typhoon for memory sake and realized the ridiculously easier method of only dodging at the bottom by going through lasers.
-
Great work, people above!
Don't you just love how Marisa has the capacity to completely dismantle boss familiar to make the fights easier? 2 Billion is my current goal
Gah, I was supposed to answer to this ages ago.
Well, I hope this is not too late. :blush:
Marisa indeed can and will shoot down familiars, whenever there are any around. However, her darn magic napalm, when destroying a familiar, has a weird habit of causing the damage for the noncard to end, in the case you were farming for timepoints. Magic Team also has generally not-too-easy gameplay, given how you have to succeed in a couple of supergrazes to gain the "needed" amount of points (maybe not for 2b, never tried dropping the ones I use), and Alice is, while also low damaging shot that makes some supergrazes hard to end in time, fast moving and relatively large hitboxed.
In my opinion, the easiest 2b would probably be Youmu solo, since with her timepoint gain you can just basically shoot stuff down unfocused, not caring too much about external timepoint farming, and still break 2b. So, if you want to go for an easy 2b, play with Youmu. But, if you want to use a shot you like more, whether it was Border team (We need more Border team easy 2b's on the scoreboard!) or Magic team. Or whatever shot-type you like to use. Always play what you want to play, don't make it feel like it was forced. That's my philosophy, and it has made me rather slow, but overall pleased with the games.

small achievement: Perfect IN Stage 6A Easy clear with Hourai Elixir capture. At least something is going right for me. :V

Haven't tried in ages to seriously attempt IN Lunatic, but I was talking about Touhou to a diehard IN fan earlier today, so I booted it up and tried a 7 lives 1cc again to unlock stage for practice.
I actually lasted all the way to Hourai Jewel without dipping below 4 lives. Just a little more and a true 1cc will be mine?
-
Thanks for the reply, Seppo. I'll do some runs with Youmu to see how I fare. I'm not the biggest fan of her familiar system, so it's something I'll have to get used to again. My IN Easy runs are largely unfocused, so I happen to find 4-B (Marisa's Stage) the easier route because Reimu's yin-yang orbs are an absolute horror to dodge when you can't simply make them go invisible. I'm curious as to what supergrazes you were referring to. Most of the ones that I know how to do are fairly suicidal with Magic Team's speed unless you're using Alice, which I generally don't do (see above, unfocused only). Maybe I'll also do some runs with Border Team, Reimu Solo, and Yukari Solo to see how high I can get my score.

Good luck in breaking 2 billion. Don't forget to bomb with Youmu at the beginning of Stage 1

May not be much but, I managed to 1cc EoSW on normal and 1cc the remastered version on normal with all 4 shotypes. There's still more I did BOTH extra stages (on the remastered version) and managed to do a perfect youmu in PCB on normal. Now if you'll excuse me I need to go rage at the prismriver sisters and yuyuko for being the only people who I can't perfect.

Congrats on Youmu, I can never get it all right, but then again I never do stage practice. I've managed the prisms once or twice but good luck on getting them or Yuyuko since they are both pretty tough.
-
Progress more than accomplishment today: Marisa in Stage 4 of IN has been pretty frustrating for me, more so than any other boss in the game. Normally there's been a lot of bombing and death. Watching replays from Xephyr and ihavenoname today, I've managed to capture her first three spellcards, and know what I need to do to capture the last two (provided I can get my reflexes up to snuff).
-
Progress like that is the real kind of accomlishment in my opinion. Once you get good at things it's just a matter of linking everything together.
-
I'm curious as to what supergrazes you were referring to.
Well, here are the supergrazes I'm able to pull off. Not consistently, and most of these are not optimal.
- Wriggle's first card (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20280) - Done rather falsely. This one was always hard to pull off for me, and I don't use it on my full runs yet. Mostly profitable for youkai solos, and maybe Scarlet team.
- Phantasmal empeor - safe style (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20279) is a grazing method I use for most shots that include a youkai. KWS does not do this on his Magic team WR, so I'm not sure if it's profitable for the said team.
- Phantasmal empeor - st-style (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20277) is a bit more profitable method for Keine's last card. However, this one is horribly hard to pull off, so I suggest just going with the old route, unless you're rather consistent with this one.
- Reimu's first card (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20278) is probably the most necessary supergraze for teams that go for the stage 4A. It gives a huge amount of timepoints, even while not done optimally (optimal grazing would be a constant grazing of both streams, outer and inner.)
- Evil Sealing Circle (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20275) is another one you could graze when going for score. However, unless you are playing on a shot including Remilia, you may want to skip this, unless you're sure of being able to pull this off, since Alice is not high-damaging enough to end it before it gets hairy, and both Sakuya and Marisa might need tight dodging without focus, which I never liked. You can, of course, do some little adjustment with focusing only momentarily to move, but it takes a while to get into.
- Reimu's final card (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20274) can be grazed by going near the center of the screen, to constantly gain graze from almost all of the streams shot by the familiars. However, sometimes the RNG will be a bitch, and Reimu will move down on the screen instead of moving up, so you will need to watch for not colliding with her, and for the external amulets she shoots if you get too near to her.
- Reisen's final card (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20273) can be "grazed", but it is not profitable on some teams. (human solos and possibly Magic team spring into mind)
- The fourth last spell (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20272) is a graze giving you about 100M points. Yeah. 100M. You would really want the points when going for a high score, but almost every team which is able to break 2b, is able to do so without doing this. You might want to consider not going for this graze, since failing it will be costly (night bonus + ~35m spell card bonus + gained graze and time), and really late in the run.
There are also some other supergrazes, like Keine's midboss card and several things st does with Kaguya and Reisen, but I'm unable to copy, so I'm not showing them. I can tell about them, and link some st's replay, but I'm unable to show them in practice.[/list]

Yep, keep going at it, that's the best feeling you can get while playing!
GFW Hard B1 Clear from me! By comparison, it wasn't as hard as it was on Normal in comparison to the other routes, but still reason for a lot of insults directed at myself and fists smashing down on my table. There are some patterns I just can't deal with, the part right after Lily Black in Stage 2 seemed like bullshit to me, though I'm somewhat bad at handling stuff from so many directions anyway. On the positive side, there were a lot of great parts to stock up on Extra Lives, so after figuring out when and where to freeze, things really seem easier than Normal sometimes. Well, halfway through Hard, B2, C1 and C2 left, then Lunatic! Hope the other routes will be as easy as they were on Normal compared to B1.
Which reminds me, I really am just not capable of tapping. I realize that whenever I encounter Star Sapphire. Or maybe it's my vision?
-
So I FINALLY got GFW and...
Turns out my first impression was "I really hate these controls".
It went away over a while, though! I managed to 1cc Hard A1 after a few attempt at understanding the game and after one attempt of reaching Star. As in, the end of A1-2 and the entirety of A1-3 were basically done blind. I think I fared pretty well. :D
-
Hey, it looks like I've been playing touhou for 2 years now!
I made this gameplay based video to celebrate this awesome hobby! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvvgA6IspQg) :toot:
(Harcore Meiling fans should probably avoid this video)
So I went back and tried harder on UFO stage 4 opener, and managed to do it completely no focus and pull of a pretty tight dodge on the last wave, chance would have it that Reimu ended on almost the exact same place that she started out on, which gave me the idea to make it loop. Then I just tried some random stuff. If you watch it feel free to write a comment or send me a message of what you liked/hated the most. I want to make a tribute video to the top 10 best touhou superplayers and I want it to be as good as possible.
I also managed to pull of the first version (without the last wave dodged like that) in 90 fps, oh and does it look like I'm winning the tournaments special - extra challenge!?
-
oh and does it look like I'm winning the tournaments special - extra challenge!?
I think most people who were remotely capable of beating your run got bored of trying to pacify the entire stage and purposely failing everything in sight if it wasn't for a high score
-
Pacifist MoF is boring :V
Otherwise I'd do it again to get under 10 miillion
-
So I played some Touhou this morning
Bombs (http://i.imgur.com/bWUgo.png)
More Bombs (http://i.imgur.com/EmfvL.png)
Bombs everywhere (http://i.imgur.com/e2At5.png)
1ccs of the remaining Windows games on Hard and my first Lunatic 1cc
-
All in one sitting? Congrats!
~~
I forgot to mention sometime in one of my earlier SA Lunatic Stage 4 practice runs that I perfected MidOrin #2. Y'know, the one with impossible walls of bullet-wall-spawning wisps. Wasn't with full power either. To be fair, I used the ReimuA method (dun dun dun), but it's still damn hard regardless.
-
So somehow I got a perfect Orin on my first run playing ReimuB (since I have been doing all the different shots on normal) even though I intended to bomb here second nonspell. Fate would have it that my keyboard didn't recognize me pressing the X key and somehow I managed to cap it and her evil 3rd spell in the same run. I think this might have been the first time I've perfected her, which means SA is the first game in which I have perfected all normal bosses? (lolwut). Also in the same run I capture Heaven and Hell Meltdown basically no vert and decided to troll the game's final attack just because I felt like it. Only 7 more to go before I have all the normal shot clears (and 2 of them are TD lol)
Here's the replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20290) if anyone wants to see it
Edit: 3 more clears in the last couple hours: UFO ReimuB, TD Sanae and MoF MarisaC. Only ones left now are SakuyaB, SA MarisaA, UFO MarisaB and TD Youmu.
-
I think I've won the tournament's special challenge on Lunatic...
By default D:
-
List the superplayers, please.
I was thinking something like this, but if we all voted on our favorites it might be more fair.
Player and motivation
LYX - when he plays MoF it's like a world champion figure skater shredding the ice
HS参謀 - supreme overlord of PCB and inventor revolutionary scoring techniques
shin - pushing UFO and grazemilking to the limit
YASU - multiple IN world records
UKT - holding all SA Lunatic world records
AM - UFO Lunatic WR and past achievements
OOSAKA - dominating EoSD Extra and holding overall EoSD WR 4ever
ななまる - giving LYX competition
miruku - pushing limits in EoSD
ASL - dominating IN Extra
-
All in one sitting? Congrats!
Pretty much, went to buy a pack of cigarettes after the hard clears but that's about it, and thanks.
-
ASL - dominating IN Extra
only 270 million more to go... :fail:
other superplayers off the top of my head:
ISO - gave HS some competition back in the day
LET - held a lot of early IN records
IBUKI - holds all sa extra wrs
wakaba - holds almost all of the gfw wrs
and for the ones on motk:
T - excellent at extra stages
dot_asp - great at most stages, holds the marisaa ufo extra wr
heartbeam - also great at most stages, makes early wrs in newer games, most proficient at pcb
random - maybe in 42 years
in other words, 900+ mil with every character in sa extra without bombs/deaths (reimuc took a while...)
-
random - maybe in 42 years
I'll be impressed if you can play touhou in 42 years and still clear anything lol

Meh, took me like 20 I think. Nice job though, now do the rest of them in one try lol, i.e. seiga's. The others might be possible in one try but are pretty tough.

-

30 something, IIRC. I managed to capture it with Reimu the second try by dropping to the bottom first and not moving, so I wanted something a little more authentic with Marisa.
-
Um, Icicle Fail Overdrive? Also how many tries did it take to get that without moving?
That's how I captured it-without moving at all, first try. I was laughing so hard after that XD
-
I wouldn't mind if I capped Tao Taidou Dao that way :V
-
Play at 1000fps. It might happen eventually, and then you can brag about capturing it at 1000fps. BV
On a side note, I captured it at 90fps back when I was playing TD. I used Youmu of course, but still.
-
Yes, my first 1CC of Touhou PCB on Normal! (I suck!)
First time I ever made it to Yuyuko's survival card. I had no clue it existed until then; And my response to it was to spam the X key like a mad man :derp:
But, I made it out alive in the end, and with 2 extra extends left :D
The rest of my Normal achievements:
Touhou 6 1CC'd
Touhou 8 1CC'd
Touhou 10 1CC'd
Touhou 13 1CC'd
Gonna seriously work on SA now, but in my opinion it seems to be the hardest game in the series, no clue how I'll finally beat Orin, let alone Utsuho xD

I timed out Tao Taidou! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/replays/th13/th13_udSu10.rpy)
Too bad I was trying to capture it. :(

It's pretty tough to beat SA (or UFO) on normal for the first time. Both of them are really tough from stage 4 boss onward until you get really used to it. I would suggest using stage practice if you have the stages unlocked since it will save you a lot of frustration due to failed 1CC's at Orin/Utsuho or Shou/Byakuren. To be honest, depending on which shot type you use, UFO might be easier (except the final cards) because most of the bombs are way stronger than in SA. Either way, good luck and feel free to go to the rage thread when you start working on it.
Edit: 3 more clears in the last couple hours: UFO ReimuB, TD Sanae and MoF MarisaC. Only ones left now are SakuyaB, SA MarisaA, UFO MarisaB and TD Youmu.
Also, 2 more clears done (SA MarisaA and UFO MarisaB). Just 2 more then I can go back to trying SA and UFO hard, then its time for (dun dun dun) lunatic....
Glad I took a break from trying to up the difficulty to do this sinceI think it's probably helped me overall.

And if you don't have them unlocked, spam continues until you do. I think this is also where watching others' replays becomes more important.

Double Black Death Butterfly 01 / 07
Flying Insect's Nest 03 / 06

Huh, that's weird, I could have sworn I'd captured BoWaP before now.
-
And if you don't have them unlocked, spam continues until you do. I think this is also where watching others' replays becomes more important.
True, I had a lot of trouble because I could never beat the stages using continues. My first SA normal clear came on my first attempt ever to reach stage 6 in an actual run and I had yet to even unlock it for practice. If I remember right the farthest I had managed to get using continues was Heaven and Hell Meltdown. I think I at least managed to get UFO's stage 6 unlocked because I seem to remember practicing it some before finally clearing the game.
The biggest problem for clearing SA's stage 6 using continues is probably the fact that Utsuho's first cards are extremely difficult to do without practicing them (still hard even after a lot of practice), so a lot of continues are wasted trying to get through them. Couple that with her second last spell which is tricky until you learn how to do it and the awkwardness of the last one and you get something that is quite tough to clear with room for only 2 or 3 deaths depending on how many life pieces you get.
At least most of Byakuren can be bombed (through her fourth spell) and you can get 2-3 bombs easy within the stage using green UFOs so it's not too tough to reach St. Nikou's Air Scroll with two lives in stock, probably die, then bomb and have at least a life (maybe with 1 or 2 bombs) to do the final card and unlock the stage for practice. I compare that to the relative weakness of bombs in SA which it takes probably 4-5 bombs to clear Utsuho's first 2 spells depending on the character, and since using bombs reduces power, that makes everything else last a lot longer, whereas most of the attacks in UFO will likely be cleared by 1 bomb at most from ReimuA, MarisaA, or either Sanae.
-
You should be able to bomb through Utsuho with continues and reach Sub Sun with a good supply of stuff. You've got four lives, none of the nonspells should a threat (especially if you cheat on two of them), and Blazing Star's a cakewalk if you stay in the middle. Four lives with bombs should be more than enough to spam through three spells. Stage 5 is harder to continue past in my opinion.
Of course, you can also practice the stages you already have so that you can get to the tough stages with enough lives to get 1cc past them. You'd want to practice the early stages anyway, right?
-
I suppose something like that would make sense, but then there's the whole "clipped three times by Stage 4 lasers" and the subsequent "making it to Orin with 5 spare lives and getting utterly destroyed anyway" thing.
Practice... does... nothing!
I'll Stage Practice until my fingers go numb and I'll still die three times to Orin's nonspells :fail:

God yes. I think one of the first times I played UFO Normal, I did in fact have enough continues to get through Byakuren as well. Was totally a different story for SA Normal, for that very reason - bombing reduces power. Same deal with MoF. But hey, if you're able to get through the first five stages flawlessly, you start the last stage with a pretty solid collection of resources.
Practice... does... nothing!
I'll Stage Practice until my fingers go numb and I'll still die three times to Orin's nonspells :fail:
Isn't Orin ... notoriously difficult? Stage 5 in general is just brutal to me.
-
but it's just her nonspells
I've even almost capped needles of yore before
I literally have no idea how to tackle all of her nonspells
-
bombing reduces power. Same deal with MoF.
Eh, at least the bombs in MoF can kill off attacks pretty easily (most spells gone with one) and at max power, bombing doesn't hurt your attack power at all in MoF since 4.00 and 5.00 are the same. MoF was a much easier 1cc for me than SA, but probably just because Sanae is (to me at least) a much easier stage 5 boss with a relatively tame stage portion, since most of her attacks can be easily done: 1st one - 2 alternating positions, 2nd one streaming, 3rd one static, last a joke.
Isn't Orin ... notoriously difficult? Stage 5 in general is just brutal to me.
Orin is a pain, until just recently I had to bomb most of her attacks since the only ones I could do consistently were the first nonspell and spellcard. It's gotten a lot better, not through practice specifically on the stage, but just due to my overall skill improvement than anything else.
As far as UFO in this case Shou is just more awkward than anything else and if you want to 1cc UFO you should probably be getting a lot of green UFOs (though I tend to go for reds since I hate bombing) and just bombing the attacks you can't do. I would assume it's fairly easy to get like 25-30 bombs over the whole game if you only summon greens and that should more than take care of the boss/midboss attacks. Even if you summon no reds you will still get at least one extra life by stage 6 so with no deaths (due to using bombs liberally) you can have 4 lives in stock so even if you run out of bombs, you have 8 more in stock with the extra lives.
I know I just said it, but I think what I just said reinforces that UFO might actually be easier to 1cc than SA, though SA will give more lives due to life pieces dropping on each attack rather than after the boss like in UFO. I still found SA much tougher (I think it was the last one I cleared and it and UFO are the only ones I've yet to do on hard)
-
Reds are better. Just trust me they are. :I
-
About UFO, I've recently managed to unlock stage 5 and 6 on Lunatic. I guess this replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20298) could help give people an idea of what it takes to complete stage 6 using continues-- the main issue is surviving Legendary Flying Saucer. (Stages 4 and 5 should be easy enough to bomb your way through if you concentrate on summoning/filling/destroying red UFOs and not dying with bombs remaining.)
By the way, I've found UFO to be noticeably more difficult than SA on all difficulties. The main issue for me is that in UFO, one mistake on the UFO chain (collecting the wrong color small UFO or letting a large UFO escape) can cost you half a life, and perhaps an additional bomb as well (if you needed the screen clear from destroying a UFO to avoid bombing). SA isn't anywhere near as strict with its resources since the life parts take very little effort to collect in most cases, and although dying on a boss phase does cost you a life part, you're still nearly guaranteed to get at least 40 of the 50 life parts by the end of the game (unless you let life parts drop or time out boss phases). You also only get two bombs per life in UFO, while you can generally bomb more than twice per life in SA due to power item drops; I think this compensates for any advantage that UFO's more powerful bombs might give.
-
Alright, C2 clear, that's all routes cleared on Hard Mode in GFW! Next is Lunatic, then I'll finally tackle Extra (only took a quick look at it, but the stage blew my mind).
-
Woo!! I finally achieved my first 1LC of a game tonight, and it wasn't one that I expected. SA Easy with ReimuB. Strange considering it was the first time I played SA on Easy in weeks. Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20302).

Reds are better. Just trust me they are. :I
Well, I always thought so, i usually only get greens on stage 6. But then again I play on normal so don't listen to me :O
-
Well, I always thought so, i usually only get greens on stage 6. But then again I play on normal so don't listen to me :O
I go reds for the first 4 stages, then greens for stages 5 and 6, but if I manage to max out my lives during or before stage 4, then I just go for greens.
-
this is a small accomplishment, but i managed to get to stage 4 on lunatic in ufo, with no practice. But stage 4 through me off, the stage portion was 'ok' it could have been better, i felt i did some good ufo manipulations. Murasa caught me off, especially her final non spell since i haven't seen it nor done it before.

I still say it depends on your playstyle; if you'd rather have a run you can calculate, leaving only patterns you know you can deal with for the most part, go for greens, you'll be able to at least get the amount of lives you need to max out assuming you don't get any misses, though this only works under the assumption that you don't make mistakes - nonetheless, you still have room for mistakes.
If you'd rather rely on your overall ability and you know you can squeeze out a lot of air if you're working with no Bombs, go for reds, you'll definitely have a better time. I just hate the loss of Power.

Reds are better for survival, blues are better for score. Going only for reds can get you up to 17 lives through the whole game.

Well, I've heard of people taking more to clear it at 60 FPS so that's pretty damn good i guess. Looks like you got pretty lucky on the last phase to have it that wide open cause I know I've never seen it have that much space.

Meanwhile a rather small accomplishment. I went to TD spell practice and finally captured Tongling Yoshika lunatic. 1/15 with Reimu, 1/19 with Marisa. This card is so much fun.

Break 1 billion yet? It'll only take two blue ufos.
-
Finally finished all the normal clears with all characters and shot types. Geez that took too long. Let's see, what should I do next, SA hard or UFO hard since those are my only hard modes left to do.
Edit: Decided on UFO for now at least. Managed to unlock all the stages for practice tonight though I had played through stage 3 before. Took about 10 continues to beat Murasa, 10-15 to clear Shou and like 30 to clear Byakuren. Most of those were intentional suicides though because I was trying to no-death the stages for optimal boss killing potential.
Either going to try and unlock all the SA stages next or actually try and practice UFO hard.
-
1065 point items in IN Extra with Alice Solo. That's 3 more than ASL's run with the same character.
I guess that's an achievement... :V

asdfadgsasdf
UFO Hard 1cc, ReimuA.
Only with 7 lives in stock and ND1B Byakuren.
When did I get this good suddenly?
(Also I think I'm doing Aura of Justice wrong. I went through one of the walls...)

I dunno, you certainly surprised me. Congrats on that awesome run mate.

In retrospect, I think it was about the time when I NDNB'd Byakuren during a Normal 1cc, with 8 spare lives in reserve that I decided to try Hard mode a whirl...
oh gawd ufo lunatic
-
Well in any case, doing what you did with Hard is infinitely more worth than a perfect run of Normal. So just pat yourself on your back.
-
Great job, lads. Especially you, Malky, with that :toot: worth StB-cap!
Have you considered timing out SFN at 90fps? Or without focus
-
Not as cool as that 90fps cap, but I decided to cap STB 9-6 for the first time and got it in only 134 shots :V.

Wuuuuuuuuuut!? I just safespotted and cleared Kogasa's first spell. That looks cool, need to do that more often instead of wasting a bomb on it or a life.

Right below Kogasa, right? Graze is delicious :3

You can abuse the nonspell too, which sets you up for the spell more easily.
-
Obviously nowhere near as good as my last achievement but I finally capped Ran and Komachi's nonspells and got every scene in the first five stages except 5-5.
-
Yes! Finally! 1CC Normal UFO for one shot type on all three characters (ReimuA, MarisaA, SanaeB). MarisaA just happened today and I completely fucked up Byakuren and barely pulled out the win. I went into Stage 6 with six extra lives and came out with 0/0. That's pretty sad considering I can do Byakuren in Stage Practice and only lose one or two lives most times. It's all in the nerves. Now for the other three...

I haven't touched Lunatic in a while, and managed to get to Asura Sword in one sitting (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20337)
I'll clear this on Lunatic one day. One day!
-
Got through SA Hard with ReimuA today, with even three lifes leftover! Usually I main MarisaA and even did quite well up to Orin in stage 5 today, but a lot of derp deaths (and the shottypes' rather weak focus-shot) hindered me from doing well leaving me only one life upon the start of stage 6; you can imagine the rest yourself. D:
I did practice stage 5 afterwards though and have gotten significantly better at it, especially Orin whose non-spells - which used to give me a fair amount of trouble and cost me a load of bombs - I can pretty much consistently capture now (thanks to somebody else whose tactic I totally didn't rip off).
And I captured Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana in IN with Marisa/Alice (but no MAlice cannon!) which was an absolute nightmare, took me a good 60 tries before I finally got it. After Reimu's Fantasy Nature, the hardest Last Word I have faced so far...

Also, SA hard Stage 6 with 1 life left...2 lives to spare clear?
(My first SA hard clear had 2/5 going into the final stage, and I only died to Subterranean sun because I tried to capture it at 2 power)

Ah, I went after the translation Touhou Wiki gave me. :p
Also with one life I literally meant a single life, that is death = game over. I did get a second life during the fight against Okuu but it didn't help much as I failed her second spell hardcore. :X
-
oh wow, nice. Same position as me then going in only with less fragments.
-
Oh dear lord, I barely managed a PCB 1cc on Hard.
Up to Alice everything was going silk-smooth, then I started dying on her non-spells *gasp* (for some reason I die more to non-spells than spells, go figure), then I started bombing rather excessively in stage 4. The Fairy mid-boss drained two more bombs and a life, Prismriver-Sisters weren't any better.
Then stage 5, I did surprisingly well capturing almost all spells of Youmu - for the record, I suck so hard at her it's not funny - and went confidently into stage 6. Again getting Youmu safely out of the way I faced Yuyuko and then everything went downhill. Bombing everywhere, losing a life with two bombs in stock along with it and then with zero lives her last attack; stupid butterfly survival. Oh how I loathe this spell, IN made me hate it with a passion, thankfully you can slip through the red butterfly rings before they expand into long pillars. Welp, I managed to get through the first five phases or so and then bombed the last two just to be on the safe side because I would have slapped myself had I died right before beating the arcade mode.
First one's never easy, I'm sure I can improve on my Hard Run later on but for now this'll do. Oh boy are my hands shaking. xD
-
I attempted a no-focus no-bombs run of EoSD Lunatic. I reached Scarlet Meister at least, though half of the deaths were stupid, including the one to Scarlet Meister. I might try this again sometime, since it's quite ridiculous. It also makes me think a no-death run might be possible, which is something I'd love to do.

Favourite card, from favourite game, by favourite character, with favourite theme in the background. Probably some insanity mixed in there too.
Not like I did it all at once, mind you, only the last 375 or so. >_>

Cleared Extra with a third character! Perfected Patchouli as well! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20352)
-
Finally cleared 8-6. I swear those bullets magically expand to double the hitbox size when they feel like irritating me.
Also got 10-3.
Probably going to do 8-4 next. Why does Yuyuko have nothing but cards that are doable but really annoying at 90 FPS? At least this is the last one.
-
SA Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20357)
Oh yeah baby.
-
I just got VoWG lunatic down to 51 seconds.
I then proceeded to die 4 times before the card ended.
I can totally do this, 2/3 of the way there.
-
Worked a bit on the extra stages today https://imgur.com/a/29ZoP
They are all first clears so scores aren't that high nor do I have too many resources left in the end.
Got TD and SA extras left. Haven't tried Koishi yet but I managed to get to Mamizou's last spell today.
-
I just "perfected" all the way to stage 5 in EoSD without focusing, aside from one death to those books! I failed horribly against Sakuya though. :(
-
GFW Hard C1 1cc.
I silvered Three Fairies and cleared with 491% motivation left.
:justasplanned:
-
I finished a SA speedrun attempt, something like 17:55 starting time on beginning of stage 1 and ending when Utsuho explodes. Somewhere around 17:20 would probably be a great time.
-
1CC'd SA on Hard for the first time. :D On top of that, I did it with seven lives in stock. I feel proud...I've come so far. But there's still quite a ways to go...next, I'm hoping I can 1CC UFO on Hard.
-
Um, I really just need to 1cc SA on hard. this (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20370) is my unlock of stage 6 that I just did (right after getting stage 5 finally). It literally only took me like 3 or 4 tries. My biggest problem getting here was beating stage 5 on continues (mostly just being stupid). If I practice stage 3-5 for a while, this should be a snap.
Also, these are the spell records from those few tries
(http://i43.tinypic.com/54azcn.jpg)
All but one of those captures were from the last run. 4 were on the first encounter
-
1cc FW C1 Hard, including a capture of Luna Child's Three Fairies, which I wasn't expecting. Pressed X instead of Z on the replay screen though, so I can't watch it again. :/
-
Alright, GFW A1 Lunatic Clear! Lunatic took some time to get used to, but overall the run was nice. 5 left, guess I'll upload everything in one go when I've finished the game.
Which reminds me, kudos to the game for actually causing lag-spikes when I freeze everything during the part with the huge fairies in the second half of Stage A2.
Edit: A2 clear, seemed much easier than A1 this time around, but the run was horrible, I think I made mistakes in all the places where you shouldn't make them. Whatever, that's what the game's about, fun! And a clear is a clear.
-
UFO Normal SanaeB 1cc.
This was my first time playing this game's normal mode.
While I do think it's probably one of the harder games of the series, I feel this is somewhat balanced by the ridiculous amounts of resources the game throws at you. I had max lives by mid stage 3 for crying out loud. I had enough bombs by that point to bomb-spam my way through anything that I couldn't handle from that point on, especially considering the last stage is basically built for you to collect tons of bombs and spam them at Byakuren, which I totally did.
Mind you, I would imagine my trigger happiness with bombs is all that carried me through that run since I ended with no lives and one bomb (I bombed when Byakuren started exploding for security because throwing the run there would be daft.)
So. All this leaves of the series (that I'm actually willing to play) is Mystic Square and Subterranean Animism.
-
lag-spikes when I freeze everything
Just wait until you see the extra stage, if you haven't already.
-

Haha, sounds cool, only took a quick look at it and thought it was the most epic Extra Stage ever.
Getting closer, B1 Lunatic Clear, halfway through Lunatic with that. Again, seemed significantly easier, at least it didn't take me nearly as long as on Normal and Hard, wonder if it's still the hardest route.
-
1CC MOF Hard. Did pretty well up to Sanae, then started bombing more excessively. Kanako had to take quite the beating with the bombing I had going on.
-
Took a bit of a break from 90FPS StB to play some Ten Desires.
Timed out Laser of Seventeen Articles again, only at 90FPS this time. Also captured Yuyuko's overdrive by holding Shift and Z and doing nothing else.
I'd upload the timeout, but Fraps refuses to record TD at 90FPS even when I specifically set it. Don't know why, other Touhous don't have that problem.
-
I AM THE STRONGEST. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20384)
You have no idea how glad I am to finally have that done. No. Idea. Maybe now I'll get around to 1ccing the rest of the Normal routes? Maybe!

Just got my B2 1CC, decided to go for a quick run before breakfast and it seems that I recovered. This is the first time I managed to get a 1CC this early in the morning, the other times I tried this I lost to either Byakuren or Luna Child. For once, my cornflakes will taste like victory!

I see, well, drown yourself in booze then, you've earned it, really happy to see that you've finally managed to conquer this nemesis of yours. Just a guess, but I'm somewhat sure it's been on your mind 24/7, not good for your health!

Oh my goodness you actually did it. If you were here, I'd take you out for a drink. Please put up a video with on the Tube. I'd like to see how EoSD patterns looks in 90FPS. Pretty badass no doubt.
-
Alright, GFW C1 and C2 Lunatic Clear! C1 was one giant trainwreck, C2 was a little better. Kind of annoying how there's really no need to figure out too many patterns during later routes since proper handling of the NS-Patterns alone gives you enough Extra Lives to just brute force your way through. Since you've already seen most NS-Patterns by that point, runs stop looking pretty for some reason. Well, whatever, done with Lunatic, next is Extra, then, at last, 7.5, 10.5 and 12.3!
-
Survived Nazrin's 2nd non spell on lunatic when this stupid error message came up, stopping me from moving for about 10 secs. But better achievements is that i know how to safespot Ichirin's first non-spell by standing on her left eye. Grazewhoring :V

The patterns are indeed badass, especially Meiling and Patchy. Unfortunately I still end up bombing most things, so hopefully you can see the spells through the bomb spam. This was altogether remarkably fun, even with lots of bombing. EoSD has less emphasis on micrododging than the newer games, so it works really well at this speed, and there weren't a lot of tricks and memorization needed. I just dodged as best I could and bombed when I couldn't dodge.

A rather big accomplishment for me; I beat TH10 Extra with only one life lost and all spells captured but Kerochan Wind & Rain and the two survivals - second survival could have worked out had I not dug my own grave. I literally bombed at the last two seconds. :V
Also why did I ever think that Seven Stones and Seven Trees is a difficult spell.

Use the Vsynch patch. Set framerate in the .ini file to whatever you'd like.

The Iku Nagae clip looks so super odd that I'd really like to see you play any Touhou, sped up or not (especially if you're willing to livestream!). I was going to call you out for the impossible reflex deathbombs before seeing you edited the time frame, so please remember to mention any changes to the game in descriptions in the future.
Apart from that most attacks seem incredible anyway. Your movements are way more precise than I thought was possible, but that could be Danmakufu being weird and me being ignorant.

I'm buying this, even though I'm not familiar with that script I'm sure you could be well rehearshed and then upping the speed. Although uploading some replays to http://replays.gensokyou.org (thinking about your SA and UFO lunatic 1cc), along with either doing some livestreaming or making a live recording will help clear any doubt of your achievement.

Great job Zil! Ultra 90FPS next? I must say though Mercury Poison actually looked dangerous at 90 FPS, and Scarlet Meister looks more like a Scarlet Shitstorm

Hmm, I'll post it when I'm back from my work.

Managed to finish the Kanpukugu fight with TEN lives in stock.
I love graze abuse.
-
It really does look like cheating. So yeah, I'd like to see some other things that you've done too. I'll probably also expect your run to be somewhat decent based on kind of precision and reaction speed in the video.
-
Congratulations, Zil! That was an awesome run to watch, especially the Remilia battle :ohdear:
Managed to finish the Kanpukugu fight with TEN lives in stock.
Have you ever though of going perfecting it?
-
Have you ever though of going perfecting it?
Gathering Void is a thing.
The only one I can capture at all is White, and I've only ever captured SKYLARK once. I've never captured both in the same run.
And even if I did, there's still that Future card, and Parallel Labyrinth. Those almost always get me. And the fight in general; I can usually capture most other stuff but there's always something.
If I'm going to perfect another EX boss, the most likely candidate would probably be Mokou...but then, of course, rings of death.
EDIT: Also, serious congrats to Zil. That is one amazing achievement.
-
Thank you, now I need to buy PC controller and regain my skill again, since it's been almost 1 month I haven't see any danmaku.
Well I forgot to mention it, sorry :3

It's on the whole run, but I'm going to nitpick and get some most obvious example
Let us assume that :
16 keypresses per second (p/s) is the limit of human muscle. It's documented here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VhkcKMNiIs) by Takahashi Meijin.
Youtube framerate is at 30fps, so each frame takes 33.3ms. I wish you could provide a replay of that run, so I wouldn't left hanging with low quality fps Youtube video.
Input is decoded like fighter, so 6 = right, 4 = left, 9 = upright etc.
Around 0:39
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20195246/mplayerc%202012-04-22%2022-42-08-94.png)
The input, frame per frame is like this :
5 6 5 6 5 5 6 5 5 4 8 5
Both instances are 2 presses in 133.2ms. That means 15p/s, almost equalling the Takahashi Meijin video, and Takahashi Meijin certainly didn't have bullets to think about.
If that isn't convincing then :
Around 0:16
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20195246/mplayerc%202012-04-22%2022-40-30-43.png)
5 8 2 2 8 4
You are using keyboard. That's some up down up motion, at still staggering 15p/s. It's hard enough to press the same key at 15p/s, now try pressing up and down at that rate.
It's only been a minute and there are two examples. Those also couldn't be memorized.
-
Speaking of EoSD, I can't compete with Zil (congratulations btw, I can't imagine playing with 90FPS myself) but nonetheless, my first Hard 1cc. =D
It was so damn close, I wasted my last bombs at Scarlet Gensokyo with Remilia having a quarter of her life left, me with absolutely nothing but hope that this time I won't fail (I game over'd twice at Scarlet Gensokyo before) and this time I finally did it. \o/ I think my heart skipped a beat. xD
And I even lost one life at her by trying to avoid her second non-spell by flying above her when she covers the bottom half of the screen...
...
..she crashed right into me. Dumb bitch.
Nonetheless woo!
-
CONGRATULATIONS, ZIL!
Notes:
How did you muster the insane amount of precision to ace Meiling's third nonspell? Better yet, how did you muster the courage to not bomb it?
Was the Full Power screen-clear during the second wave of books at the beginning of Stage 4 planned?
Nice save during the last wave of books before the end of Stage 4. Does that happen every run?
You memo'd Misdirection. Nice!
Holy what why is the Sakuya fight this crazy what the balls.
Nice decision making with bombing before mid-Sakuya @ Stage 6.
Clip to Sakuya's nonspell. :(
How do you usually deal with Remilia's third nonspell? Pure reading? With crappy reaction time and control due to 90fps that looks really hard to pull off.
Was the bomb during the final nonspell's 'ball phase' meant to be insurance, or did you screw it up?
Looks like you screwed up the strategy during Scarlet Gensokyo with the final two bombs (none of the bubbles despawned...). Must've pressured you quite a lot.
This looked insanely hard to pull of. Evident of this is how you needed ALL your resources in pretty much a derp-less run. Jeez.
-
Succeeded at breaking 3 billion points in IN Lunatic. 3,347,808,520 to be exact. I lost it around Salamander-streaming card whatever it was called but I did manage to clear some of the last spells at least.
Dying on Mystia was retarded but meh, I don't feel like restarting just because I lose one life to something like that. Other two deaths where on Kaguya. Other than Mystia and Kaguya, the only real mess-ups I had in this run was failing Ephemerality 137 which I admit was quite dumb. I handled it wrong. There are also some situations where I fail at collecting point items so improvements are certainly possible within my skill set. However, I'm burnt out on IN for now. I'll consider coming back for 3.5 bil one day.
-
Cleared EoSD extra with NoFocus ReimuA for Seppo's series of silly challenges #3
-
Oh alright then.
First try with ReimuA and I capture King Kraken Strike. Or whatever the hell its name his.
Motherflippin' derpSanae.

How did you muster the insane amount of precision to ace Meiling's third nonspell? Better yet, how did you muster the courage to not bomb it?
I was out of bombs. D:
Was the Full Power screen-clear during the second wave of books at the beginning of Stage 4 planned?
Yes, that's why I didn't hit full power against Meiling's last spell, though I ended up needing two bombs for that so I should've just reached full power and dodged the books.
Nice save during the last wave of books before the end of Stage 4. Does that happen every run?
I'm not sure what part you mean. If it's the one with the blue lasers, yes, I do the same thing every time.
Nice decision making with bombing before mid-Sakuya @ Stage 6.
That part is so obnoxious. Only once before did the fairies kill me like that, which made me super paranoid, but I agree they would have hit me if I didn't bomb.
How do you usually deal with Remilia's third nonspell? Pure reading? With crappy reaction time and control due to 90fps that looks really hard to pull off.
Just pure reaction speed. It's nice if she stays near the top.
Was the bomb during the final nonspell's 'ball phase' meant to be insurance, or did you screw it up?
Kind of a screw up, yes. Normally I can stream it but it freaked me out that time.
This looked insanely hard to pull of. Evident of this is how you needed ALL your resources in pretty much a derp-less run. Jeez.
Thanks! :D There were some mistakes. I usually perfect up to Meiling, and and I can sometimes capture some of Patchy's cards, and The World (ugh). I'm pretty surprised I was able to get through with only one bomb wasted though, usually I end up losing two or three. Yeah, no disasters like that, which are so much worse than bombing a spell you normally capture anyway.
@Yao-kun: You cheated. It's obvious. You're not the first person to get the briliant idea of playing the game normally then speeding up the replay.
-
I know the laser part can be memorized. In fact, I use the exact same method.
The part I was referring to was ~8:20 to 8:24. Looking back it wasn't as close as I remembered it, but it was still kind of a bad-looking situation.
Most of my good runs of EoSD ended up being just as bad as all the others because I tend to lose a lot of bombs due to mistakes. So yeah, I definitely know what you mean. The run was without any 'big' mistakes is what I meant, really.
-
Oh that part. Normally I'd like to get under the fairy before it starts shooting. It doesn't normally get down to the wire like that, and I was lucky the streams weren't moving clockwise. :V
-
Well, fortunately this didn't take me too long to get. Hard 1cc of SA (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20391)
Pretty good overall for me, since I managed to perfect through part of stage 4 (I usually at least bomb Yuugi's last nonspell because I've been having trouble with it). I captured everything from Utsuho except the first 2 spells, which allowed me to clear with a couple lives in stock.
UFO is my last hard to 1cc and my best run to date I think ended during stage 5 (pre-Nazrin).
By the way, if anyone has trouble with Utsuho's last spell attack, might I suggest practicing it while running circles around her? I like doing that from time to time and it makes it so much easier to deal with it just staying underneath her during actual runs. I usually try to do a lap around her for each phase of the attack, but I kill it off before the timeout phase cause that's just silly.

We're in the same boat then, except that I lasted 'till Hijiri's Shinki spell before I kicked the bucket.
Wow, so I retried stage 6 over and over and over, like seven times and failed everytime at her Flying Saucer spell or the one before. Next attempt, finally beat her and captured Flying Saucer along with it. The Hard 1cc, it's within reach! Now I just gotta think of what to do with Shou, she's horribly difficult on Hard I don't even...
-
Now I just gotta think of what to do with Shou, she's horribly difficult on Hard I don't even...
Here's what I did:
first nonspell: dodge because no bombs in stock
first spell: die-->bomb
second nonspell: bomb
second spell: capture
third nonspell: derp death+bomb
third spell: lol nope bomb
last spell: lucky capture
Basically, be prepared to burn 3 lives on the fight by bombing everything.
First spell is static. If you're practicing the stage over and over again you may as well try 'learning' a path.
Except I never practiced a stage ever while 1ccing UFO hard :V
My history on that spell was 0/7, and all of those failed the first wave.
-
Second nonspell and third spell are guaranteed bombs. First nonspell is forgiving when compared to the second and third is slightly harder than first.
First spell is static. If you're practicing the stage over and over again you may as well try 'learning' a path.
Last spell really isn't that hard but at that time you'll probably be pressured enough that you'll die anyway, so I recommend bombing. Not after doing your best, though, since one bomb doesn't end the card.
Shou is kind of a bitch.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq8JoCYrOWc There ya go. ;)
The patterns are indeed badass, especially Meiling and Patchy. Unfortunately I still end up bombing most things, so hopefully you can see the spells through the bomb spam. This was altogether remarkably fun, even with lots of bombing. EoSD has less emphasis on micrododging than the newer games, so it works really well at this speed, and there weren't a lot of tricks and memorization needed. I just dodged as best I could and bombed when I couldn't dodge.
That dodge on God Art "Vampire Illusion" right before you get blindsided by another bullet is the best dodge I have ever seen bar absolutely none.
-
He went through a wall. That is kind of possible some of the time. :)
-
The hitboxes in that spell are microscopic, so that kind of stuff can happen there.
And... I just tried a "blind" run of PCB at 90fps with SakuyaB. Six deaths with unused bombs. Three of those deaths occured within a span of 10 seconds and had all of the bombs unused, and I still reached stage 6. I didn't get the 800 item extend either. :derp:

Yea, I have the stages unlocked with Marisa, but I'm considering switching to Reimu because I'm a lot more comfortable with her movement speed/hitbox. I used Marisa because I got my normal 1cc first with her so I figured I'd try getting hard as well. Prolly take me like 3 days just to unlock the stages again lol
EDIT:
So these are my actions after originally making this post:
Open UFO, start ReimuA on Hard
1st run, screw up all my UFOs (whatever was trying to unlock stages), time out Nazrin's final spell because I don't know, botch stage 2, restart because rage
2nd run, screw up on Kogasa again, restart
3rd run, WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW THE FUCK I DID THIS. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20392)
So this was the first time I even got to Shou as Reimu (I'd played a couple times before but never really got anywhere). Not to mentiion I had a 1DNB Murasa cause I had no bombs when I got to her. For the Shou fight: die on first nonspell because I wasn't paying attention. Capture Radiant Treasure Gun (which I have yet to do with Marisa while unlocking) with bombs in stock, bomb second nonspell cause I messed up, capture aura of justice (I think that's the right name), capture 3rd nonspell, Bomb Vajra after 2 revolutions (got scared), capture her final.
Stage 6: Die trying to get UFO for extra bomb cause I screwed up grabbing it at first. Capture the Nue Pattern cause I'd done it so many times trying to unlock with Marisa. Bomb first spell, capture 2nd nonspell (which is complete BS by the way), die on Magic Butterfly :(, capture 3rd nonspell even though I meant to bomb. Bomb curvy lazerz cause curvy lazerz. Bomb next nonspell cause i havent figured out the pattern on hard yet. Almost cap Devil's Recitation. Captured St. Nikou's. Then I decided to get clipped on LFS and have to clear 0/0 instead of like 1/0 or 0/X.
But seriously, I got first 1ccs of SA Hard AND UFO Hard in the same day? wtf is this
Guess it's time to move on to Lunatic?
-
Long story short :
All of my Touhou data has been deleted by my stupid brother (we sharing computer) because he need space for installing another game.
And because I don't have anymore proof, so feel free to offend me.
N.B. I don't post yesterday to cooling my brain so I don't put any unnecessary offense word.
@Yao-kun: You cheated. It's obvious. You're not the first person to get the briliant idea of playing the game normally then speeding up the replay.
Thanks, I'll keep this in my mind.

Now come on, let's be reasonable. I haven't watched your replay personally, but I trust my fellow players to spot a cheat when I see one - and they're generally pretty easy to spot. There's nothing you will gain by getting angry, so just promise not to do it again and we'll be cool.

Yes, I got too carried away, I'm sorry (I'm bowing, if you want)
Anyway if you want see my pure replay, check my IN EX clear replay by HakureiYao at youtube, that's the only replay I have now because my idiotic brother delete all my Touhou game.

there's no better time to ;)
-
Alright, another UFO 1cc. This time with a near-perfect Shou fight and only 4 deaths total before Byakuren (with a red-only UFO route). Byakuren killed me 5 times herself, but I was willingly reckless because there was no way I could lose at that point. Still need to work on it though. Failing Static Butterfly is just dumb.
And more importantly, a No-Ice Victory on Marisa's final spell, while taking 700% motivation damage because I sat in the middle the whole time. \o/
there's no better time to ;)
Seconded. Go Lunatic Chalros. :]
-
WAAAH I DID IT, UFO 1CC HARD!
To keep it traditional, I ended the game with zero lives and zero bombs. God I thought I was gonna die at Flying Saucer, lost a whopping two lives at it (yesterday I captured it D:). Damn, had the UFOs not fucked up at the beginning (and that dumb enemy not killed me) I would have had two more lives to boot but whatever.
And I even capped everything from the second non-spell on (apart from her third non-spell, I got clipped so many times at that one yesterday that I just couldn't take the risk >.<).
Finally I can say that all Touhou Shooters have been 1CC'd on Hard!
-
That's wonderful dude. Congratulations. So, what's next then? What Lunatic are you going to tackle now?
-
Thank you!
I guess I'll work on IN first because I have tried it a few times on Lunatic by now and it doesn't seem entirely impossible for me. xD
-
Congratulations! IN is a really nice one, definitely recommend it for your first Lunatic.
-
Finally I can say that all Touhou Shooters have been 1CC'd on Hard!
Ok, now we can race to see who clears all lunatics first, since we are literally like 12 hours apart

NB2D UFO Lunatic Stage 3
One UFO used, accidentally, when it didn't really matter much.
Perfect stage. Death on Kraken Strike, death on her second cesspool of a card. This was my first time capturing the last card, IIRC. More importantly, this was my first time perfecting the stage portion.
Replay exists if it is needed.
-
... And another run just now had me perfect the stage, AGAIN, this time with no (accidental) UFOs used.
Of course, this time I died to Kraken Strike and died twice to her second card, which is what usually happens, but I captured her final card AGAIN.
Jesus christ.
-
I finally got past Orin and even got to see Utsuho on 1 Continue, but Orin just eliminates any and almost all of my resources by the time I finally reach stage 6 (Her stage 6 mid-boss spell is actually pretty fun :D) and I end up having nothing left for Utsuho, dammit. Oh well. I'm making progress, but seriously, I think Orin is harder than stage 6 and Utsuho combined!
Stupid cat, just you wait! I'll defeat you yet, with enough practice! (Hopefully, or I can kiss my 1CC goodbye :derp:)

Amazing run. It seems you have a thing for planning your runs, maybe you should do some Scoring ?
-
I do submit some scoring attempts in the semi-weekly tournaments, but I find that I can't get into the scoring systems enough to want to do it regularly. Too much weird stuff involved, but if I get good enough to be consistent at it, then maybe.
-
It's not much, but I got my first capture of Scarlet Shoot in a full run. Of course, I managed to lose the 1CC on Red Magic thereafter so I have no replay since I wanted the practice on Red Magic and continued, but hey, it's something.
-

The Phantasmagoria games easily have the best scoring systems. :V Although I personally like PoFV more.
Not what I'd call an achievement, but I did a run that ~10 million points away from ASL pre-Mokou for Marisa Solo, then proceeded to die on her third-to-last nonspell. This is getting close...
-
I 1cc'd PoFV on Lunatic with Aya and Medicine about a month ago, but.... well, they're Aya and Medicine :V I wanted to do it with a third, "non-broken" character, so I chose Reimu.
...didn't end well (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,12226.msg821951.html#msg821951). Next I tried Reisen, who died at Komachi with 47m. Then I tried Marisa, who died at Shiki with 69.3m. Finally, after all that...
(http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/5488/th019.png)
8)
In the end, I still didn't get that 70m extend (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20431). Since I haven't seen how those 100m+ runs work, I had to settle for one death to Sakuya in stage 6, one death to Aya in stage 7, one to Komachi, and two to Shiki. Man that last minute of half-life vs. half-life was intense. Actually it probably wasn't a full minute. Felt like it though...
Thanks to Zil, Random, and Ihavenoname for their help in the Rage topic :D

Points are generally determined by how well you keep your point chain in the upper left going and how long the battle is. I've only played Normal for score, and the only way I've ever gotten the 90 mil extend was with a really long stage 9 battle (Usually around 5-7 minutes, only once have I ever went as far as 9:30 :V). Maybe if someone really got lucky with the AI not being stupid, 90 mil before stage 9 is possible.
Congrats on the 1cc!
-
Nicely done Ridley. PoFV is quite difficult in my opinion since you can't trivialize it with memorization and planning like the other games. Just nonstop random dodging.
And about scoring, on Lunatic 90mil before stage 9 is possible with almost anyone because the AI is pretty close to invincible on the first rounds of every stage past 5. I've got a Marisa run that reached over 100mil before stage 9 in the PoFV thread if you want to see "how it works".
I said I don't like scoring a few posts ago, but I forgot about Phantasmogia. :V
-
1 Spell Card away from my first Hard 1CC (Ten Desires). I got hit at the tail end of Guze Cannon and death tranced into Seventeen Articles before dying as the attack started. I decided I might as well see the run through. Guess what happened... I captured the last two spells. Had I not been nicked by Guze, I would have done it. Ah well... at least now I know I can do this!

So it is mostly chaining? Makes sense: since survival was my main priority , I often wasn't looking to see where the next set of fairies was. I didn't know that the chain eventually reached BONUS before doing these runs though, so getting the max chain once or twice was nice.
In your Marisa run I noticed your frequent use of her level 1 spell, in addition to all the chaining. I didn't realize the laser would be effective at quickly shooting down fairies and spirits so I basically never used it. Probably would've helped a lot.
Overall, scoring looks pretty fun. I might try it on a lower difficulty some time :V

Don't think I captured either on my first Hard clear, so it sounds like you're set. GL!
-
Marisa's laser seems to be glitched (or ZUN just chose to single it out) in that spirits hit by it explode as if they had been transformed already. Any other character's charge attack causes them to simply vanish with no exlposion. It also does tremendous damage to bosses and Lily White. So yeah, the laser's a big deal with Marisa.
-
1CC SA Hard with MarisaA.
It's more than apparent that the collision with Marisa is fucked beyond belief. So many clipdeaths it's not even funny.
-
Subterranean Animism Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20450)! That makes seven (1, 4, 13, 7, 8, 10, 11).
This also means I've now reached 1 billion in every game where it's possible, except Touhou 13 (which I just haven't bothered with yet, bombing nearly every boss phase isn't very fun).

Say, isn't it supposed to be impossible to concentrate on such a thing when one's suffering a terrible depressive episode? No matter.

Just tested this and you're right. I'm ashamed that I didn't know that before. Especially bad since I main Marisa... but I suppose that's largely irrelevant since it's been ages since a tournament and since I always go random or mirror in normal pvp.
Any other character's charge attack causes them to simply vanish with no exlposion.
Worth noting that the same applies to regular attacks as well.

Yes. PoFV scoring is keeping your Spell Points at bonus. This is done through chaining and bullet-cancelling (and, of course, by preventing your Spell Points from resetting to zero*) and dwarfs all other methods of obtaining points. Scope use, attack timing, and spell timing all play into that.
*can't call this chain-breaking because pofv terminology is silly.
PoFV scoring is fun, absurd, and infuriating... and is so to a greater extent in all three areas than that of any other game I've played. Better check your sanity at the door.
-
Overall, scoring looks pretty fun. I might try it on a lower difficulty some time :V
I swear, the final stage on Normal is more annoying than the Lunatic one :V

I decided to go ahead and try scoring in PoFV Normal (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20478) today. The result:
(http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/8595/th021.png)
I couldn't keep the chain in a lot of places, especially when it got crowded. But I only died once, to Shiki (has anyone ever beat her the first round?), and I remembered to use the level 1 laser against Lily White this time :V

My best TH13 Extra run so far: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15731590/th13_15.rpy
Don't mind the stupid death at Mamizou's second spell, I'm not consistent at it with Reimu at all. D:
-
Wow, did I seriously just perfect Byakuren on normal
except flying fantastica
-
FINALLY
I'M
BACK
Now, for all of my achievements THAT I CAN REMEMBER (Remember, I was probated for two weeks so I will forget something if there is something)...
[attach=1]
First Touhou 4 1cc on Normal with MarisaB. I got to Yuuka with five lives three bombs and ended with one life one bomb. Derp.
[attach=2]
Hell yeah, a ReimuA Hard 1cc one day after (But still no Extra clear :qq:)!
(Thank god for replays.gensokyo.org)
First "Phoenix Rebirth" capture. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20379)
PCB Hard 1cc! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20316)
IN 90FPS Normal 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20295)
Big font because really fucking huge achievement
Also I got to Astronomical Entombing on IN Lunatic. I cried when I lost.
-
I like how you spent less resources clearing LLS Hard than Normal mode. Also, don't give up on IN. If you made to Astronomical Entombing then you aren't far off. Push for the clear kid!
-
You can also "safespot" Astronomical Entombing if you're willing to stoop to that level.
Anyway... 2-death no-bomb GFW Extra. Both deaths were completely moronic. Next time I'll just no-ice the final spell because as far as I'm concerned it's easier that way. Also perfect MS Extra, but that's mostly a matter of overcoming input lag.
-
You can also "safespot" Astronomical Entombing if you're willing to stoop to that level.
He won't. He seeks to understand the way of the bullets so he doesn't use that kind of tricks.
-
You can also "safespot" Astronomical Entombing if you're willing to stoop to that level.
I took the choice of bombing the IN Extra death fairy when I could have sat in a corner.
Also, I didn't have any resources so that's why I lost. I literally lost everything at Apollo 13. EVERYTHING BUT MY REMAINING LIFE.
-
FINALLY.
Captured Philosophy of a Hated Person for the first time ever.
Seriously, my capture rate is better on freaking Peerless Wind God and Gathering Void -White- than it is on this thing.
-
Aced Murasa's third nonspell on Lunatic.
I feel MANLY.
@above: you're making it sound like a QED or something :<
-
So first I captured Momiji.
and then I just perfected Sanae.
I don't even care that my Stage 6 practice went horribly because I perfected a lunatic Stage 5 boss and captured the last pattern in MoF I hadn't done before
-
you're making it sound like a QED or something :<
Well, QED is much much easier than Philosophy.
-
Well, QED is much much easier than Philosophy.
What kind of world am I living in that all opinions are the exact opposite of mine. :(
PoaHP is IMO a thousand times easier than QED in every aspect. xD
-
Don't worry, Malkyrian's alone on that one.
Philosophy - 3/10
QED - 0/12
-

Yea, philosophy is static, QED is not. End of discussion

I made it to the final stage on IN and I was playing on Hard with Reimu by herself! :toot:
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20505
-
Yea, philosophy is static, QED is not. End of discussion
Well yes, QED is harder but there is something about Philosophy that makes it look scary provoking you to bomb it. I think. Because my rates are like this;
QED: 6/20
Philosophy: 4/34
:V
Don't ask, it was an accident.
-
Philosophy isn't really that hard, you only have to memo the yellow wave, the blue wave is just "stay on the upper right corner until it finishes", and in the red wave the bullets are aligned :V
-
But look at my rates? Surely that is irrefutable proof of the opposite? Look at the evidence! Surely Philosophy is harder since I refuse to memorize the spells because it makes them too easy!
- Nah, just kidding- just thought i'd drop my rather peculiar capture rates. :D
-
well i capped QED on my first try, but i had to make more than 10 attempts until i could get Philosophy :V (failing it in a scorerun where everything else was perfect kind of sucked)
-
I have yet to capture either of them and I'm a Scorpio, so surely I must be right! I came closer to capturing Q.E.D. than with Philosophy, so Philosophy must be harder. There's your proof!
-
Philosophy - 3/10
QED - 0/12
QED: 6/20
Philosophy: 4/34
QED: 0/12 or so
Philosophy: was 1/3, now 1/10ish
-
Philosophy: 0/13
QED: 0/3
Where do I go?
-
Philosophy: 0/13
QED: 0/3
Where do I go?
The "didn't rage enough to capture either" group
Personally I think I'm something like 2 or 3/20 on philosophy and 0/3 on QED
-
QED - 5/8
Philosophy - 5/9
They're hard? ???
I've almost got Honest Man's Death down pat. After I'm done with that, it's Xu Fu's Dimension's turn, then I might get better scores with youkai solos.
-
I've captured QED many times, but never captured Philosophy. It's entirely because I don't care to memorize it of course, and I've only played it 3 times. It's kind of the shooting game equivalent of watching paint dry.
-
Just went through GFW C2-3 lunatic with a net loss of only 2 lives, if I didn't crash and burn and continue three times in stage 2 I might feel good about 1ccing it soon. Silvered Fairy Overdrive in the run, a shame I couldn't save the replay.
-
People are showing their First Pyramid histories over in the rage thread, so I'll post mine here.

http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20514
That's done no focus by the way.

Also 2 captures in 5 tries with Ghost team.
When did I learn how to read this pattern?

I did it. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20517)
I fucking did it. I 1cc'd something on fucking LUNATIC. I feel freaking awesome and I'm shaking so badly that I might register as the epicenter of a fucking earthquake.
Fuck yeah.
I ended with two lives and one bomb at the end of Stage 6A and the fight went fucking great.
Fuck yeah.
I DIDN'T SUCK AT KEINE.
FUCK YEAH.
I did it.
Fuck you Wriggle, fuck you Mystia, fuck you Marisa, fuck you Keine, fuck you Eirin, and fuck you Reisen.
I WIN.
-
Congrats, that's my only lunatic 1cc too but your numbers are a whole lot better than mine.
Now do UFO.
-
I hope some of us remember that feeling when we 1cc'd Lunatic for the first time.
CONGLATURATION !!!

Congratulations!
I never noticed that it says "countinues" instead of "continues" :V

Now to move on to... *SHUDDER*... Mountain of Faith Lunatic...
Heh. Take time, let it sink in. You just cleared a Touhou on Lunatic.
Also if it helps ease your anxiousness, MoF was my first Lunatic 1CC and IMO easier than IN Lunatic.
Only problem is, you have to get really really comfortable with being able to say "FUCK IT BOMB NOW".
-
Touhou 5 Lunatic 1cc (video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WfGFcnGFQ4)). This was actually one of the first games where I reached stage 6 on Lunatic without continuing, and I never really found it that difficult on Lunatic compared to the later games (not counting Ten Desires), but for some reason it took me quite a while to get the actual 1cc.
This is also like my fifth first Lunatic 1cc in the last month. I'm pretty surprised these have been so close together actually, since I'm pretty sure my first Normal 1ccs, Extra clears, and Hard 1ccs were a lot farther apart from each other...
-
my first finalA Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20521) :toot:
-
Congrats to all of the recent 1CC Lunatics! Wait, that almost sounded like an insult... :D ah well, you do have to be a bit of a lunatic to play that mode methinks
-
Captured Lunar Ilmenite!
Four more and I have no clue where to even start, it seems like all the remaining ones are utter nightmares.
-

Also, while running through stages with continues for IN, I accidentally went to 6A so I was like screw it I'm not bombing any of Eirin's attacks. Somehow I captured Omoikane's Brain (Lunatic) which I have never captured on hard. WTF? Also no replay because continue.
-
You can't choose 6B if you used continues, so that's why you "accidentally" went to 6A. ;)
-
1.03B in PCB Easy :V

What the hell.
If you don't know what I mean, 6A is harder than 6B.
-
If you don't know what I mean, 6A is harder than 6B.
Not on Lunatic. Kaguya's probably the hardest final boss in the series. At least that's my impression.
-
Oh, someone else who thinks she's actually hard to beat?
Most of her NS-Patterns are doable to a certain degree, but her Spellcards, good grief. Particularly her first and last one stand out to me, first one because, no idea, just got trouble with it, though the second one also turns into a real mess on Lunatic. Her last one is the worst, though, I'm pretty damn sure I never would have beaten the game if I hadn't been able to memorize an exact path through the whole goddamn thing by trying countless times in Spell Practice, memorizing the times for dashes based on the color of the bullets in the pattern etc. etc. . And even then, one mistake would have wrecked me entirely because bullets despawning kind of make it hard to keep track of a pattern you memorize based on the color of the bullets.
-
I think she is the hardest too. The first two spells are really mean sometimes and the RNG can do wonders to completely screw you over on the 2nd spell. The 3rd spell is pretty harmless, the 4th is the biggest cocksucker in the world and the 5th is a strict timing-puzzle where any move made at a wrong time will completely screw you over which is unique compared to other hard final cards in the series where you can usually recover from a fuck up. (Provided that the fuck-up doesn't involve running into a bullet)
-
A little backtracking here, but Philosophy is... a memorization card, apparently? I just read the yellow pattern on my own. The only thing that needs memorization is the movement of the big Koishiblob.
FinalA is actually a thing I haven't done yet too.
First Lunatic 1cc.. actually wasn't that much of a big shock to me. I don't know why, maybe because I'd 1cc'd UFO Hard beforehand? Or maybe because it was a long time coming and I just took a long time derping on EoSD? Meh. :V
-
Unexpectedly perfected EoSD stage 3 on Lunatic when trying to practice it for the 1cc. Of course, this is EoSD, so there's no replay (and I don't know how to take a screenshot). I retried the stage quite a lot of times after that and didn't come close.

Perfect Momiji and PWG cap in the same run.
In two runs that came one after another.
Why am I so good all of a sudden?
edit
...
...
And I just capped Kanako's opener five times consecutively, without even looking at the pattern like two diagonal shots.
What the crap.
-
Five attempts at Greatest Treasure, captured it four times, the first three consecutively.
I think I finally have proof, over the last 100 or so attempts and after 800 total, that I'm actually getting better at that card (maybe that'll give Zengeku a gauge to tell when he should start seeing improvement?). I'm seeing similar improvement with the fairy rushes after Nazrin, meaning I'm now more capable of entering Shou with a perfect run going, which is huge.
-
800 runs? I'll expect some improvement in 6 years or so. :V

First ever capture of Maze of Love.
First ever capture of Counter Clock.
All in the same run with Marisa.

Random playing today yielded two cool accomplishments: Perfect Murasa, and 1DNB Byakuren (death was on Devil's Recitation).
-
Not on Lunatic. Kaguya's probably the hardest final boss in the series. At least that's my impression.
I think Kaguya's annoying thanks to her random bullet walling bullshit, and in return makes her harder than shit to score well on. I always thought Remi, Yuyuko, and Kaguya were much harder than Kanako, Utsuho, and Byakuren (for scoring especially). :|
I'd go with 6A any day if it weren't for the huge score output in 6B.

My heart is pounding tonight! Tonight is getting tense! Got to stage 5 on UFO Lunatic! But a shame i died on Shou....On her final spell card. Actually had to fight her for the first time ever, so it was quite energetic, besides her lasers!

You could always just record all of your practice runs to be on the safe side, and I think being able to watch the runs afterward is an important part of practicing in the first place.

Second UFO Hard 1cc, this time with ReimuA. Captured Murasa's survival, Shou's first and last spells and died in the stage portion of stage 6 at the descending fairy barriers and to Magic Butterfly. Oh and I had to bomb Hijiri's first non-spell because I managed to hilariously trap myself in a corner. I think something went wrong this time around, yet this run was better than my last one. I'm not gonna complain though!

EoSD Lunatic No Bombs
Fatality - Maid Sign [Killing Doll] or whatever Sakuya's finale is.
I am honestly impressed by my glaring improvement. 1miss Patchouli (to her third card of all things), perfect up to Meiling's third nonspell which kind of demoralized me and caused me to die on her last two spells once each, perfect Stage 5. Bleh, I would have gotten to Remilia easily if not for those Meiling deaths.

Maid Sign [Killing Doll] or whatever Sakuya's finale is.
I thought it was "The World" but okay. To what I cut out of the quote, I'm damn jealous of you for getting so good. But do you EVER die to Cirno? EoSD is honestly the only place where I hate Cirno if only for her penultimate card, Perfect Freeze.
HOW DO YOU IN PARTICULAR DEAL WITH THAT
-
Not much, no. I recall perfecting Cirno plenty of times before the first 1cc. Back then her first card gave me more trouble than all the others but now it's much easier to read.
On Perfect Freeze you search for places with 'not so many bullets' so you have less chances of bumping into one once they stop. Basically, look above your character to plan where you're going to be in advance. If you read the bullet in advance it's hard bumping into it, even if it freezes.
And no, The World is her second card I'm pretty sure.
-
EoSD is honestly the only place where I hate Cirno if only for her penultimate card, Perfect Freeze.
The amount of time Cirno takes to freeze the bullets is always the same IIRC (you can also use when Cirno stops firing to tell you they're about to be frozen). Learn the timings for when things happen, never worry about getting caught off-guard again. ;)

Yeah, I used to find it tough, but it's usually a cap for me now, occasionally a bomb. I honestly find her opener the hardest despite how simple it is... Hence why I safespot the start of it so I can kill her before it loops back around to that part.

MoF Extra no-death run (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20574), complete with a ND2B Suwako battle.
Definitely the easiest Extra stage to complete without dying due to the number of bombs it gives, though now that I think about it, I didn't even make use of that (not counting bombing five times for score on the stage portion). I wonder if that means I might be able to no-death some of the other Extra stages?

First ever capture of Native Myth vs. Central Myth, and I cracked under the pressure of how high my score would get, so that's why I died on Mishaguji-Sama. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20577)
Also, this run tops my previous run by 164.18 million approximately.
-
This run actually outscores my perfect of the stage.

You should go for a perfect Suwako.
Perhaps that's because you perfected the stage portion, while I bombed for score there? I noticed my score was 82 million higher at the start of the Suwako battle, which should be more than enough to compensate for two failed spellcards and some lost point items due to not being at full power.
As for a perfect Suwako, well, first I need to learn how to capture Jade of the Horrid River (1/47) and Suwa War (0/20). That was the closest run I've had to a perfect; normally I fail Froggy Braves the Elements (4/30) and/or Red Frog (5/24), as well as those two.

I may have botched the score run up after that but it's still worth it to have THIS CAPTURE. THIS CARD IS WORSE THAN MISHAGUJI-SAMA. AT LEAST WITH MISHAGUJI-SAMA, THE PATTERN'S SIMPLE.
-
As for a perfect Suwako, well, first I need to learn how to capture Jade of the Horrid River (1/47) and Suwa War (0/20). That was the closest run I've had to a perfect; normally I fail Froggy Braves the Elements (4/30) and/or Red Frog (5/24), as well as those two.
Jade of the Horrid River should be relatively static, since the walls that form are always the same and they will collapse toward you in the same way if you make the same movements. As for Suwa War, good luck. I've got it down to about 8-9 seconds before but I hear its not bad once you get it a few times.
-
Guys, should I record and upload my 560-something million score run to YouTube or wait until I get a better run? I'm satisfied with it but there are flaws that are arguably bad that I want to fix, SUCH AS A DEATH. Dying in MoF is score-base suicide. It will lower your potential score from something like 1 billion to barely half of that in, say, a Normal run.

I did it! I FINALLY did it! I 1cc'd EoSD on Lunatic!!! After several failed attempts, I finally managed to pull it off with one life and no bombs remaining....oohhh gawd, I can't feel my fingers...
I should probably also mention that I was also livestreaming my attempt, and was playing in Windowed mode. I ended up restarting like six times before I finally managed to 1cc the damn thing (to the annoyance of one of my friends who was watching :P). One of those six times involved me entering the Remilia fight with 4 lives, dying immediately on her opening nonspell, and getting finished off by Scarlet Meister. On the run that I actually beat her, I entered the fight with 3 lives and nearly perfected the first half of the fight. I entered Scarlet Gensokyo with 2 lives and no bombs, died when her health wasn't even halfway down, deathbombed and made several brushes with death, and used my final bomb when there was still quite a bit of health left. Remilia herself actually blew up right before another round of the densest wave of Scarlet Gensokyo was about to hit me...
So...freakin....intense.....

Depends.
How much stage grinding are you willing to do?
(fun thing: you've spent as much time working on scoring this stage as I spent going for a perfect of it :D)
-
Just captured Uncontrollable Nuclear Reaction, which amazes me because I'm 0 for 30 something on Nuclear Excursion. First time I've tried it in about a month, a lot easier than I remember it being. >_>

You should go for 750 million! ;)

I am so overdue with timing out VoWG. While flawlessly timing out VoWG on Lunatic...
I die with 2 seconds left on the timer. Therefore, pulled off a NB1D timeout. DLKJSFKFHSAKJFHSAKJFHSAKJFHSADASKDHSAKJHFKASJGHSAKJDFS
Didn't even bother saving replay...I just alt+F4'd and quit. Yeah, I ragequitted.
But still, it is an accomplishment at the same time. Last time I checked, I think around 15 people timed it out...did anyone else pull this feat ever since I last checked in September?
-

Last time I checked, I think around 15 people timed it out...did anyone else pull this feat ever since I last checked in September?
I did it in November. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlclWGO0QNE) Supposedly I'm the 12th, with Naut being the 11th, thought that's just what I've heard. There could have been others.

Actually, last time I checked, Aizo's #12, Kanon's #13, and you're #14. I could be missing someone between then and now. Unless there is nobody that pulled it off, I could be #15.
(progress from last 5 VoWG timeout attempts: NB6D, NB4D, NB1D (!), NB4D, NB7D)
-
My best attempt at VoWG is 2DNB timeout.
Stage perfected! First nonspell, Broken Amulet, second nonspell, Old Lawtfwalled (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20588)
Maybe not completely, but it certainly walled my normal path. Anyone care to inform me how the bullets are formed in that one? >_>
This inspired me to go attempt the same.
and I got it first try :D
I guess maybe I should go try to perfect Nitori/Stage 3 now?
The bullets are spawned by familiars that stay a set distance from Hina. You can lure her to the right to prevent 'walls' from occurring.
-

Just died with 5 or 6 pixels on Exiled Doll, showoff. <_<
Good to know, thanks.

I tried that before I tried Hina, I've perfected boss Nitori but Hydro Camouflage denies me the stage.

Well la di da I'm getting better at this and still sucking.
Is this even an achievement
-
Took long enough, but perfect MoF stage 2 lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20594) finally done. Ohgane capture is the highlight for sure. >_>
Parsee was so much easier.
-
Now do Stage 4.
-
Now do Stage 4.
I'm working on it (best so far is 2DNB)
Also Stage 3 is a pain because Nitori likes clipping me.
-
I *was* worknig on it but apparently I suck at Momiji and Aya when I'm actually trying.
Maybe I'll come back to it in a week or two and do it randomly. :smug:

Got to SA Stage 5 on lunatic
why is that
when I can't get to MoF Stage 5 on lunatic
or UFO Stage 4 lunatic
or PCB Stage 5 lunatic
or EoSD Stage 5 lunatic
or TD Stage 4 lunatic
-
bombbombbombbombbombbomb and so on
Try it on MoF.
-
Now do Stage 4.
IN? TD? :D
?MoF. D:
-
So my MoF just re-locked extra again.
So I cleared lunatic with ReimuB again.
and smashed my old high score (it's now 670 million, up from 300 million).
and maxed my faith in Stage 6 :D
Could have maybe had a billion but I tried to capture VoWG and died twice. Ah well, whatever.

Aside from that, congrats! Nicely done!

While I can't say anything for Thanuris or Naut, I wouldn't call it an impossibility for others in general. Take me for example. I had been working at it on and off before I managed it, but seeing Enigma and Nereid also working on it certainly increased my motivation to get it done. Some people are competitive like that. :V
And congrats Thanuris!
-
Welcome in the club Thanuris. Always awesome when people manages to pull this off.
-
Finally 1CCed UFO Normal with Reimu B, highlights include my first captures of Sinker Ghost and Most Valuable Vajra, which I've included in their own YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7Rv7WbfdO4) because of how close they were to being failures. Now there's just two shot types left and then on to Hard Mode... Ugh.
-
Oh wow, congrats Thanuris! Some of those dodges of you going through the walls were crazy.
I haven't even touched VoWG Lunatic welp
-
Congrats, congrats. I've no interest in the achievement myself, but it is certainly a worthy accomplishment.
I wouldn't call it an accomplishment, but I 1cc'd 10D lunatic on a whim yesterday. I dunno, the game's still fun in practice mode, but full runs are so...dissatisfying. You either bomb spam or you die, and the lack of resources doesn't let you take risks.
-

To be honest Drake attempts and yours to time it out were what motivated me to do it yesterday :V (i started playing some runs last week i think, when i saw IHNN or someone else posting about VoWG timeouts, but since i was always sleepy while i tried there wasn't a lot of progress :V)
-
I wanted to choose MoF stage 4 normal for practice, but turned out to have selected stage 5.
In one play, I ND1B Boss Sanae :o
This includes first capture of last non-spell, since I somehow don't get clipped like usual :D
Now I have to work on perfecting the stage! (if only I could stop myself from random circling at the beginning despite knowing the way to do it and can do it)

Hmm. Let me load up Imgur here. There's something I've forgotten to share... Oh, yes.

Easy 1CCs aren't a big deal, I guess. I did catch Explosion Sign "Petit Flare" for the first time, though. I also caught Hell and Heaven Meltdown mostly in a fun way. :3

I've just gotta 1cc with Reimu B and Reimu C, then I'll have SA's Easy fully done. I guess I'm just working on the smaller stuff before I move on.

^ I can't capture Utsuho's first two spells even on Normal while the other three are super easy, even on Lunatic.

I'm getting quite good at Koishi. Five consecutive captures of Genetics of the Subconscious? Yes please.
-
Hell yeah MoF lunatic Stage 4...3DNB run.
Why is this an accomplishment if I've done a 2DNB?
Because.
The first death was tremendously stupid, to the second popcorn fairy.
The second death was acceptable, to the second waterfall.
The third and final death was to the post waterfall streaming, also very stupid.
Meaning perfect lunatic Aya :D
-
StB EX-5 90FPS capture. :D
-
So I went and played IN Extra and I managed to die to both the death fairy and lose a bomb to the 2nd non-spell and other silly mistakes. Also deathbombing Hourai Doll. I guess i finally found proof for my theory on games actually becoming harder if they are boring enough. ;)
Anyway, I played against Mokou because I wanted to try out that final non-spell of hers that I haven't captured before. Then I captured it. That is quite a fun attack but unfortunately you have to go all the way through Mokou to reach it.
-
Finally, FINALLY cleared 6-2. Constant micrododging at 90FPS is not my forte. At all.
And that means I have cleared every stage 6 scene.
And that means NO MORE YOUMU.
YES. I never want to see that time slow mechanic again for as long as I live.

Trying to perfect TD stage 5 lunatic, was greedy/forgetful on the stage, figured why not continue, and suddenly perfect Futo out of nowhere (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20615). Iwafune is hard enough to capture with 4 power, and I think that's the first time I've captured her 2nd nonspell. >_>
I'll take it for now.

Something tells me that's not likely. I don't scorerun to begin with, and if I did, it probably wouldn't be in PCB.

3 successful reversals on the post-Momiji waterfalls!

Well excuse me! I can't bitch about what I don't play regularly? I've tried to play TD Lunatic and that game hates me massively, just like UFO Lunatic.
And no I'm not bitching about every Lunatic because I like MoF, IN, and EoSD Lunatic. Given, IN's kinda boring just for being boring, but still. It's got fun moments, just not too many.
3 successful reversals on the post-Momiji waterfalls!

Yeah I kinda worded that poorly. It was me trying to say "don't take what I'm saying too much to heart since different people will find things harder than others will". My opinion is that TD Lunatic should be one of the easier Lunatics, but again, that's just my opinion.

What are you even doing playing TD? You've got other games to worry about and I know you don't like TD either so stop playing it and live up to your sensei's expectations! :V

UFO Hard - Gotten to Byakuren without continuing
SA Hard - Gotten to Orin without continuing
Also I play TD because its extra stage is always sitting on my conscience.

I am now stupidly consistent at the first waterfall. Still can't perfect past the second one, but everything else in the stage I have down.

Suck it SA!
After my two failed UFO Hard 1cc's (those things only come once in a bluemoon) where Hijiri kicked my ass twice, I decided to let out all my rage at poor SA and did that. Up to Orin zero lives lost; her stupid ghost wheels spell caught me off-guard with bullets that didn't dissolve through bombing entirely. At Utsuho I lost two more lives but eeeehhh, best result so far!
-

By the second you mean the post-momiji barrage right? That's pretty damn difficult yeah so expect some serious trouble there. If you want to make it easier on yourself you should stall Momiji until she's got 12 seconds left and then finish her off. That means there won't be much waterfall left.
UFO Hard - Gotten to Byakuren without continuing
SA Hard - Gotten to Orin without continuing

That's not that bad. Your progress with UFO is close to that of Chirpy's. You can beat him to it eh? I'm sure the game must be hard on you but that is also likely the only way you are going to see some serious improvement. So go for that Hard clear eh?
As for SA, I'm surprised you haven't beaten that one already. If you can get to Byakuren then it should be a non-issue for you to clear SA Hard, especially with that ridiculous bomb-stock you get. Unless you are actually trying to clear the game without spamming bombs which I would highly approve of. ;)
TD. Extra? Ask yourself: Do you think this game is fun? If the answer is no then it doesn't matter if you have cleared it or not. No reason to play it. It's not like there is some rule that says that you need to clear everything. Just look at me and MS lunatic, anything before LLS and PoFV Extra.

Indeed. I did come really close to 2b with one 1-death run though but I really needed all the leftover life bonus there.

Regarding SA, I'm the person who had to be told twenty times to use bombs more often than not. Why would I want to spam bombs?
I don't know who told you to "spam" bombs, since it's harder to immediately regain Power in SA (outside of select spots) compared to MoF. But the basic concept is still there - bombing is better than dying. For a game like SA, you want to use bombs wisely, not excessively.
-
Yeah, you pretty much HAVE to use bombs in SA for stuff like post-midOrin Stage 5
Lunatic and midOrin Stage 4. These are stuff you're not going to accomplish without bombing, and if you do, it'll be a miracle, and miracles don't work towards showing off, which is what I am assuming your aim is. :V
Meanwhile, unlocking Stage 6 lunatic.
I capture St. Nikou's Scroll /spelling on my first try. \o/
Then I die twice to LFS with full bombs in stock but OH WELL.
...Oh right. I also capped her curvy laser spell on my first try.
And the third nonspell too.
...Something tells me I just wasted a godly chance at unlocking this. :V
-
miracles don't work towards showing off, which is what I am assuming your aim is. :V
No, but displaying sufficient skill to beat those parts without having to rely on miracles certainly do. ;) I generally advice against auto-bombing since it looks neither impressive nor will help you grow as a player.
Oh and that Stage 4 Midboss you are talking about is actually pretty damn easy to handle if you get there with max power. (At least with ReimuA)
Hell no.
Then 1cc Dai Ou Jou Black Label. It's first loop is quite merciful even if they only give you 1 bomb per ship. (You get hypers to compensate) :V
No, I won't try to dictate what you play. Just promise me that you don't waste your time playing something you don't think is fun.

I was naming the 'impossible' parts, you know, those you are very likely to die on even if you're good.
The midboss is easy with ReimuA and... a bomb. Even with the redirection+teleport tactic, you still have to go through a wall of bullets so you're still far from safe.
-

When the amulet guys come in, position yourself in between them and stream down slowly as they start firing. You'll be shooting at the midboss non-stop as she enters. Keep firing at her and you'll kill her before the bullets get's to hit you. It works consistently for me. (Though only if you have 4 power- if you don't, bomb it for score :V)

I usually don't dish enough damage, I suppose.

Marisa (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20633), Marisa & Alice (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20634)
First one took 25 attempts and the second somehow only took 3, so... I'll say 14 attempts :V (I'd forgotten how fun Spell Practice can be...)
In other news, I decided to try Lunatic EoSD and made it to the fairies right before boss Sakuya. Died with bombs in stock in some places where I wasn't in the right place to do the right thing and such, so I can definitely go beyond that. ReimuA seems to work well except in those few spots in Stage 4. This might be possible...

omg. Did I just do that? Yes I did. After maybe a month or so of not playing Touhou (*sobsob*), I come back and manage to 1cc SA Normal on my first run! :D And not only that, I captured a few cards that I never have before o: Namely Hell and Heaven Meltdown, and whatever Okuu's last spellcard was~ I had a few really stupid deaths (like one was in stage 6 where the crows shoot the blue kunai. I run upwards into a stream that I saw a long time ago), but yay fun times~

Devil Sign "World in Nightmare" get!
Huge, huge thanks to Zil for that replay. Even though it was blatantly obvious in retrospect. :V
Once I knew how to do it, it was so easy that when I saw the blue "low score" text pop up, I promptly did it two more times just to clear that. Without getting hit once.
Now that just leaves 13 cards that are probably utter nightmares but whatever :yukkuri:
-
Glad I could help. :D
I tried a few others that you mentioned and was able to do 5-5, 8-4, and 10-4, so those 3 at least are possible. Some of them though... good luck. :V

Rainbow Danmaku felt impossible, but everything else could probably be captured with good planning. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20658) Six bombs.

In one practice run of Lunatic UFO Stage 5, I:

Both for the first time.

Time to disprove that, then.
Overwhelmed by bullets, your ability to -read- lowers drastically.
You end up flail-dodging via point-blank reading.
If you get ganged up by an unavoidable cluster of bullets (a wall), something that requires moving out of the way in advance, you lose.
You don't, which means you got lucky with how the random bullets had spawned.

You don't, which means you got lucky with how the random bullets had spawned.
Flail-dodging and not getting walled is strategic flailing. Flail-dodging and then getting walled is a silly mistake. Pretty much all the time, the different kinds of outcomes that can occur are things that you can take into consideration. Failure to do so is not bad luck but a silly mistake. :D

582 pictures.
582 pictures of pure unflinching pain.
Of clipdeath after clipdeath and bullets spawning right on top of me and lasers spawning in front of me seemingly at random.
But I finally did it, I finally cleared 8-4!
-
You gonna upload those things when you're done with them? It would sure be interesting to see.

You can't "avoid getting walled" AND dodge bullets in that kind of state.

Fair enough then. You can get lucky and not get punished for your mistakes. There, happy now? :3

I wouldn't call a human error (not being able to focus on more than one thing at once at times) a 'mistake' but ok then. :ohdear:
-
Hahahaha, take THAT (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20AsohK-308), Ran!
Just 11 cards left now!
-
I'm not sure if it's an improvement in my playstyle that caused me to score higher on a 3-player run of Highly Responsive to Prayers: Lunatic Hell than I did on a 5-player run, or if it's just that I've learned when I'm supposed to bomb...
-
I know this shouldn't be in an achievements thread but seeing a bunch of StB cards made me have the idea of condensing every card from StB and DS into one game with multiple paths.
-
Oh hey remember what I said earlier about Forbidden Fruit being completely impossible at 90 FPS?
I was wrong. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cquWlzA2jG8)

ahahahaha
Kanako thinks it's funny to take 3 lives on her easiest card, so I couldn't rest knowing I haven't got my 1cc. Now I can. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20706)
I think I'll stay away from MoF for a few years now.

I'm pretty sure it punishes you for using extra lives by lowering your score. So starting with more lives makes the game harder.
Also, go Malkyrian! I agree with Zengeku; you've gotta upload these eventually.

Finally captured PSM (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20708) in UFO hard....twice (I forgot to make a replay the first time :colonveeplusalpha: )
Thanks for the help in the spellcard thread Zil and Funen.
Now if only I could capture this during an actually survival run D:.
-
Also, go Malkyrian! I agree with Zengeku; you've gotta upload these eventually.
I checked his channel and he does have some of them up. He should do a compilation similar to those I've done with the Ultra patches. If he could find some touhou arranges then it would perfect.
-
Revisiting SA Lunatic practice modo, I improve my high scores by quite a bit.
I capture DBDB twice in three runs, while I have yet to capture it once before then.
I handle the opening assault of Stage 5 very, very well, getting out of some pretty bad situations.
I ace Orin's third nonspell and do very well on Ghost Wheels, not capturing because I went too far on one side, causing me to get hit by one of the wheel's edges. ;-;
The latter two both happened in a 'no bombs' practice run in which I did very well on the post-midOrin part.
Feels good.
-

I suck at doing those.
Right now I feel like I've uploaded all the really good stuff. I'll upload anything by request, though. (Assuming I've actually done it, obviously.)
So I managed to take 1 shot during Deep Fog Labyrinth - if I can do it once, I can clear the card.
It'll probably take me a while though, and I'm not even sure it'll be the first one done. We'll see.
EDIT: Holy crap, I just capped 10-5 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EEU-09yzls)!
-
Yey, GFW Extra Stage clear! Only wanted to kill some time before the last check-up of my work project which prevented me from playing in the past few days.
Anyway, the last Spellcard was a bit of a mystery to me and I didn't really feel like figuring out how to do it without pretty much melting, so I just took the beams to the face and tried to live through it. Do people even try to avoid the beams there? Seems really annoying to me, maybe even more than it's worth (minus score runs, I guess).

NB1DNUFO UFO Stage 5 Lunatic stage portion.
Captured Greatest Treasure for the first time.
Aced the spam fairies for the second time.
Didn't screw up on the very last part.
The death was to the fairies right after Nazrin (with the red-purple arrows).
:barf:
-
Third UFO Hard 1cc. Ended the game with three lives left over and captured Devil's Recitation and Legendary Flying Saucer (sorry Hijiri, had to bomb the rest of your spells). A lot of derp deaths throughout the entire run, namely two at Ichirin for not paying proper attention and I kind of thought at the start of stage 5 that this is going to fail (four lives, I usually need more than that) but somehow I got through to Shou with only one death - at those ying yang Orbs, seriously. She had to pack a bit too as I bombed her second non-spell and the first and third spellcard but I captured the other two at least. :V

Not an accomplishment through the games, so don't know if this counts but..
Was assigned a speech to present in front of my class on whatever I wanted (Within appropriate terms, of course).
Did it on my favorite video game series, the Touhou Project.
Aced the speech, and no one gave me odd looks afterword for talking about an unknown game series from a far off country.
Heh heh. I'm so proud I didn't back away from doing my speech on Touhou :) It feels good.
Anyway, in the actual games, I figured out how to go about some of Orins spells, like 'Cursed Sprite Zombie Fairy' and 'Rekindling of Dead Ashes'.
I still haven't beat her semi-properly, but maybe I'm getting somewhere :V

Everything apart from "Nikou Hijiri's Air Scroll" captured on Hard, including all of Byakuren's non-spells. Decided to put this here instead of the rage thread because a random practice attempt ended up being killer. Slowly the asskicker is becoming the asskickee, that is I'm starting to get really good at UFO. :3
-
I beat Mamizou finally :3
Wondering what took so long, seeing as I no-deathed all the way to False Exorcism.
-
Speaking of extra clears, just cleared PoFV Extra with Komachi. Only in a place where you die in one hit can you perfect the art of "stay still and pray nothing hits you". >_>
-
So I just cleared 5-5 by making a bunch of stupidly impossible dodges.
I then read Zil's advice, with replay attached, for how I was supposed to actually do the card.
So, um, whoops. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiCY0mqCmB8)
EDIT: And the funny thing is, now that I watch the replay, our methods are really similar anyway. :V

I said screw the clone when I cleared it the first time lol. I had no desire to dodge that shit for any longer than necessary
-
It's kind of been a while since I did something. I recently managed to beat Lunatic Komachi in PoFV (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3PVVgvtLec). It's not so much the win itself, since that's just Reimu being Reimu, but some of the individual dodges were pretty cool. This game is so fun it makes me want to go through and beat every character with Reimu, so I think I will.
EDIT: And the funny thing is, now that I watch the replay, our methods are really similar anyway. :V
Run around and hope the bullets don't hit you, more or less. ;)
-
So I just went and capped another StB card at 90 FPS.
And would you believe it was PANDEMONIUM (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VNm738zJSE)?

MY FIRST LUNATIC 1CC EVUUUUURRRR. With five fucking lives left after beating Utsuho. Hotdamn now I gotta cool down again~~~
-
That is a very impressive first Lunatic 1cc, both game-wise and end-resources-wise. Good job.
-
SA first? Some people are crazy, seriously, congratulations!
-
SA first? Some people are crazy, seriously, congratulations!
Naut 1cc'd UFO on Lunatic before anything else on Hard.
I don't think crazy defines him in particular.
On the topic of my own achievements, I captured Double Spoiler 9-5 and made myself sick of Fragrant Plants II because I refused to listen to Bell of Avici. I hate Double Spoiler's OST except for theme six because it's ripped from MoF.
-
I have just cleared Cleansed Crystal Judgment (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUqoCC18ZpI), despite some bullshit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSrIlwwhBdA) on the game's part. I am so happy I am done with that card. I never want to see that thing again.
FIVE CARDS LEFT.
-
>Lunatic Stage 5 practice.
>Death to midNazrin noncard without getting walled, which I am pretty sure has NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.
>"Let's perfect the rest of the stage".
>Rest of the stage = perfected.
UFO - Master Troll
-
SA first? Some people are crazy, seriously, congratulations!
No kidding, that game on Lunatic seems like an absolute nightmare. To make SA your first Lunatic 1CC while still having five lives at the end is crazy from my point view.
Serious congrats Weeabuu!
-
SA first? Some people have their priorities straight, seriously, congratulations!
Ending with 5 lives is also pretty good.
So, what's next? UFO? MoF? :V
-
HA - HUAAH
I'm back (nobody remembers me)
Aaanyway, i just freaking captured, CAPTURED Alice's Spring Kyoto Dolls ON FREAKING LUNATIC
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
/can't 1cc most of the games on normal
Did I mention I am starting to play on lunatic?
-
Thanks guys, it really is a huge accomplishment for me. :3
SA seemed the most obvious to me seeing how long I've been playing it and having Hard beaten numerous times I kind of knew my way through most things. Lunatic only really elaborates on the patterns and makes everything denser. Though I didn't expect it to turn out like this, especially with those rather low resources right after Orin, haha.
I kind of feel compelled to do UFO Lunatic next since I've been doing an awful lot on Hard lately, what with almost perfecting Shou and Byakuren and generally sucking a lot less than before. Though Lunatic is like completely different from Hard so it will be quite the feast to pull off. But I know I can do it if I stick to it!
-
Elaborates on the patterns, makes everything denser and twice as fast.
Almost perfecting Shou on Hard means almost nothing, unfortunately.
Bombs are just as effective on Lunatic, though. :3
-
I'm using that as an excuse to boost my confidence. =P
We'll see how far I get. I'm in for a long work day but after I get home, UFO gets all my attention. <3
-

The force is strong within this one. We might yet shape you into something really badass. Keep at it. Once you clear UFO, you're set for this entire series pretty much.
-
5 lives remaining? Looks like 4 lives to me. Still a lot for a first 1cc though.
Oh and playing Utsuho's third card the seemingly-intended way was pretty surprising (it was the first time I'd seen that done on Lunatic, actually). I didn't think there was anyone who would risk that when they don't yet have a 1cc, though you certainly had enough lives to risk it.
-
1CC'd (All with 3 starting lives)
TH12.8 Normal and Extra
TH 8 Normal (Reimu and Marisa) and Extra
TH 7 Easy, Normal, Hard and Extra (Going to attempt Phantasm)
on the same day. Long story short, my keyboard is now in a worse state then before and I felt like all my lifeforce was gone.
-
Nice Weeabuu! Sounds like a solid victory. I'm definately checking out the replay.
And have fun with UFO. :D
-
I....I 1CC'D MOF!!!!!! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20828)
I can't believe I actually did it!!!
And interestingly enough, when I tried to practice Stage 6 on Normal difficulty, my performance on Mountain of Faith was worse than the 1cc run one. ???
-
And that's another one down. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWbnH9Fi4o4) This took me over nine hundred pre-clear photos. Hate you Suika.
Big thanks to Zil for the strategy used here (at least for the first photo, since for the second and third I really broke away from the method in that replay).
Just four left!
-
Great Fairy Wars Ultra Hard A1 clear!
This was pretty fun. I ended with some fancy dodges through the final spell, and dodged the kamikaze fairies perfectly!

Your videos on 90FPS Shoot the Bullet thus far have been absolutely crazy.

I usually count in the very last life (that is when no stars are left in the live counter) as well, so "technically" it would be five but I guess you can say four too. Not that it really matters though. :P
Also believe me or not, but standing in the middle dodging only left and right seems kind of uh... difficult for me. I don't really trust the hitboxes and I feel way more comfortable doing her third spell this way. The spell is still ridiculously easy though IMO so yeah. xD
-
Getting to Stage 6 with two extra life isn't 'not so much', by the way. My runs usually averaged on one extra life and that's usually enough for Utsuho, factoring in new life pieces and bombspam.
Nice work with Blazing Wheel. I never have the guts for that in-run. Not gonna lie, the run isn't anything extraordinary, but bomb usage was solid and that's what counted in the end.
-
Bomb usage was very overblown in retrospect, especially in stage 5 but hey, it's my first Lunatic 1cc and I can probably shape up much better now that I know I can do it. Not that I have any intentions of doing so at the moment. xD
In other words, a shitty UFO Hard 1cc run with a perfected Byakuren at the end:
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20838
-
In other words, a shitty UFO Hard 1cc run
Perfected Byakuren.
Oxymoron detected.
Seriously though, perfect Byakuren on Hard is nothing to sniff at.
-
The overall performace throughout the stages was terrible, not saying the last fight was. :P
In other words holy fuck UFO Lunatic stage 5 is messing with my eyes. At least I managed to capture Murasa's Survival which is still loleasy. And Ichirin's last spell. Screw the rest because wow this blows my mind. At least I got to see most of the stage portions often enough to know what's ahead. Still, getting through stage 5 unharmed is like almost impossible because rave everywhere. :getdown:

Soaring En no Ozuno get! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3bUoJ2Cynw)
Could NOT follow Ran properly during the last few shots and had to make educated guesses. Leading to a lot of really bad fails.
Thankfully this wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, once I actually got into it.
Three left!

Ahahahahaha! AHAHAHAHAHA!
I fucking did it! After 1281 shots in total! And a crash on the first time clear, destroying the replay in the process.
A 90FPS clear of Vague Recollections of Kinkaku Ji! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20853)

-
A 90FPS clear of Vague Recollections of Kinkaku Ji!
Touhou 12 ~ Undefined Fantastic Object - A groovy Normal 1cc!
A little difference in difficulty, no? Unless you're like me, because I just did the latter with MarisaA for extra unlock. Instead of being careless because of the downgrade in difficulty and game overing to Flying Fantastica, I was careless because of the downgrade in difficulty and cleared 0/0. >_>
Speaking of extras, Open Universe and Fairy Destruction Ray (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20859) captured. Big Crunch, Super Perseid and Blazing Star Style Tag still need conquering later. >_>

what the fuck
over 1000 attempts at it is more shocking to me honestly. But with that many attempts, a clear was inevitable. Of course, getting to that many attempts...that's dedication.

Ten Desires Lunatic 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20867)

Subterranean Animism Normal 1cc with ReimuA. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20875)
I'm aware this seems like incongruous behaviour after the Vague Recollections 90FPS capture but SA gives me a difficult time. Orin being the main cause of my woes and I conceeded a life in a extremely stupid manner to her last card when I really just should've bombed it, but eh, I got through and ended with two lives in stock.
And with this, I have successfully Normal 1cc'ed all Windows Touhou games! WOOOOOOOOOO!

VoWG-capture log, stardate ze!
Do it with Reimu next
This was at least twice as hard (with Reimu-B). 130 tries before a legitimate cap (not counting the one at 107 due to luckshit), and even then it was an easy set since I only had to micro once. Did a few more after that then got frustrated and curious and decided to try Mari-C again for shits. Capped it on the first try.
Take-aways:
-Capture time with Mari-C - with three ice-throwers impacting Kanako - is 10-15 seconds quicker than that with Reimu-B (35ish seconds compared to 45-50ish). 15-20 seconds quicker with four ice-throwers (30ish seconds).
-While you'll likely still need to micro once or twice with Mari, you can quickly run to a corner to do so (and then quickly run back to center), and the larger gaps compensate for lack of Reimu-box. Plus, you're less likely to get overlapping waves in the corners, which I find to be a huge benefit as sometimes I don't see that a gap has been filled until I've been hit. There's even a good chance of finding an opening between waves, negating the need for micro-ing altogether.
-My vision is far, far better than my dodging ability. Intersections are also much easier to read than slowly opening gaps. Alternately, I can't micro/tap for shit.
-Reimu is a tank.
-I wish they all could be Kir-i-sam-e girls.

UFO hard mode 1cc!
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20912
Boy was that run full of silly(bad) UFO decisions.
After the stage 3 midboss I went into the bomb spam mind set. I've ruined WAY too many runs trying to capture attacks when I could just bomb them all : /. Hell, I almost ruined this run by trying to capture Devil's recitation which I normally do well on : /. I kinda wanted to spend more time practicing the Shou and Byakuren boss fights so I didn't have to go all bomb spam on them but eh, a 1cc is a 1cc :).
Now I just have to 1cc TD hard and I'm finally done with hard modes!
Edit: After rewatching the last stage all I have to say is thank god for all of that Legendary Flying Saucer timeout practice D:.
-
So I was bored tonight.
So, I decided to see what silly challenge I wanted to do.
I went to YouTube, so someones pacifist Mokou, and decided to try the same.
I succeeded first try (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20913)
perfect stage part, missed the final point extend, timed out all of Mokou's spells perfectly except for Everlasting Phoenix Tail and Hourai Doll.
Have a smaller accomplishment that took entirely too long: perfect lunatic Nitori.
Seriously, I had about a dozen 1DNB fights with her.

-
I'm feeling absolutely uninspired lately, so you get a post with nothing to it.
This thread is for accomplishments. If you do not feel like sharing any or congratulating somebody on theirs (and any discussion thereof), do not post.
-
Just a brief status update. Given that 1cc's and perfecting bosses is basically a thing of the past as I've run out of things I want to do, i can at least appreciate seeing improvement. First of all, I'm capturing Byakuren's spells much more frequently now so getting a 1-miss run of her isn't all that rare provided I don't fuck up LFO. Ehh... I could do a perfect here but I don't want to. Byakuren is fun as she is but pushing for perfection would ruin that since Good Omen can be infuriatingly precise even if it isn't all that hard to read. (most of the time)
Kogasa and Ichirin have basically hit consistent perfection. Time to focus more on Murasa and Shou. Murasa generally goes 1DNB too. Usually something involving the third non-spell. Of course, Stage 5 is still breaking my heart though. Getting the ability to consistently perfect all bosses in this game is the long term goal in this game and it's going to take longer than MoF or SA.
-
A tiny, tiny, uninspired accomplishment: MoF 1cc on EASY
Pretty much all my resources go to the last spell, which I died 4 times and bombed N times...
I really have to improve :V
-
The last spell really isn't very nice to Easy mode players. It's much harder than the Normal version of the card so don't feel too bad about that.
-
Hey, congratulations! And yep, that last Spellcard is terrible, so keep it up!

What difficulty is this? If Lunatic, holy shit congratulations because I'm being destroyed by pretty much everybody. Well I suppose Ichirin and Murasa are the easiest ones ('cept Nazi, she doesn't count) but the rest jesus christ. I have yet to unlock stage 6 for practice but Byakuren is still a thousand leagues above my skills. :V
e: just for lols, set your screen to black-white and play stage 5 again. Color-blind people have an advantage here!

I don't know about that. UFO scoring doesn't really transform the way you play against bosses (Except for grazing) and that's really the only reason I'm playing it.
What difficulty is this? If Lunatic, holy shit congratulations because I'm being destroyed by pretty much everybody. Well I suppose Ichirin and Murasa are the easiest ones ('cept Nazi, she doesn't count) but the rest jesus christ. I have yet to unlock stage 6 for practice but Byakuren is still a thousand leagues above my skills. :V
It's Lunatic. I can only tell you to keep at it and practice. I had a really hard time to it and I was quite vocal about it too. :V but if you just keep at it you'll eventually become better... And if you retain your ability to enjoy the rest of the series then consider yourself happy. :V
-
How on earth do you do that?
I can't help but feel that this is sarcasm.
In case you're actually serious, graphic card settings > set the color slider to 0% (not sure what it's called in English).
Eh.
@Zengeku: I have actually refrained myself from really working on Lunatic mode because it's not really fun to me. Sometimes I try it once or twice or play a bit of stage practice but I think Hard mode fits me well enough. Enough challenge while still retaining the fun factor. :p

The GLOWING BULLETS AREN'T GLOWING ANYMORE :getdown:
And since you are talking about UFO, you can just do a great job on the earlier stages and bombspam your way through all the things that aren't memorizable in stage 5/6 that's what i did
-
Ha, it actually makes the stage noticeably easier! What made you think I was being sarcastic?
-

To be honest, I don't know. Perhaps the "how on earth" part made me think that. Whatever, don't take it the wrong way, sometimes I assume people are being sarcastic when in actuality they're not. Silly internet does that to you. :p
On-topic, another UFO Hard 1cc with a perfected Ichirin and yet another LFS capture to add to my collection. This time I had five lives left over so I'm improving. I'm aiming for a no-death run at some point, 'tis a nice challenge for me. First death occured at Murasa's second non-spell which killed me at the dissolve phase (why of course) and then Shou got me with her annoying non-spells. And then her last spell where I thought I had still some breathing room at the bottom but I already was at the lowest point so a bullet crashed into me. Gah.
e: Another SA Hard 1cc, same end resources as the last one (eight lives) but I managed to perfect Orin!

Decided to give Double Spoiler 90FPS a proper whack with a new score.dat and shit.
Got through about the first three scenes before deciding "Fuck this bullshit, I'm not doing this" and doing something more fun and less prone to Aya's clumsy movement bullshit.
So now I'm trying this and I currently have Stage 1 cleared, along with 2-1 and 2-2. This is fun.
Currently through 3-4, except 2-4 and 3-2.

Go play Lunatic.
-
I do from time to time but I have stopped exclusively working towards it because it includes more rage than fun and that is totally not cool. :( I just don't have the patience to keep it up for long. =P
One day I'll have my Lunatic clears, but I'm taking my time. It's not like they're running away or anything.
-
I think the reason is you jumped straight into UFO Lunatic which to be frank is not a very good choice. For most people, anyway. What about EoSD or MoF?
-
I tried EoSD and from Patchy on it becomes too killer for me. MoF on the other hand would be my next possible candidate but I dunno, somehow it isn't as satisfying getting through stages without dying. I actually made it to Sanae before game overing - then I proceeded to bomb every spell of hers at my next attempt because micrododging to that extent isn't possible with my controller anymore. And let's just say that Kanako is... fucking overkill. Hardest boss I have fought on Lunatic so far.
I don't know, I don't really want to force myself to clear other games on Lunatic right now. I just got SA and TD down so I'll leave it at that for now and practice through other means.
Also damn I'm already devoting way too much time to Touhou. I gotta focus on other things going on as well so I'll take it easy from now.
-

Sanae with micrododging I can get if you're using a controller, but Kanako? Hard? Sorry, I've perfected her up to her 4th spell several times (opener is autobomb in actual runs though), captured VoWG twice and been trying to time it out since (best is 2DNB). I've even perfected every other boss in Mountain of Faith, at your skill level it should take no more than 1 try-2 if you don't "get" VoWG immediately.
-
I CAN see how it's possible to think Kanako as hard, though. The first spell and second nonspell are a waste of space but everything else is hard if you're not up to par. The second spell is hard if you're not good enough at dodging similar patterns (and easy if you are) and the third nonspell is impossible if you don't know how it's done. Then there's Yamato Torus, the rainbow spell and VoWG which are all :V.
-
That's a good example of me being the polar opposite of the average Touhou player. Believe it or not, Kanako is quite tough for me. And about VoWG... I have no clue how the hell I am gonna ever capture that one. I have actually tried beating her without a lot of bomb usage in practice mode but god forbid she stomps on me like if was an ant. :V
e: Alright, I had a few tries at her and actually she isn't that difficult. Her opener is a bit convoluted and her third non-spell quite hectic but apart from that she isn't that hard after all. A few clipdeaths here and there but oh well I can cope with that.
But VoWG. How on earth are you guys doing this. I literally died five times at that thing in one go. I keep getting red walls with blue walls covering absolutely every gap possible. Like I can't even react that quickly. Is there a trick to it or is it pure dodging and praying you won't get freaking walled?
-
I can end TD Extra pre-Mamizou consistently with 79-80 mil now. Maybe if I stop derping for spirits on Mamizou's cards I can get a decent score :derp:
-
I've just accidently perfected TD hard stage 5 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vN168-k-8P0) with Sanae :yukkuri:
-
Only three deaths at VoWG Lunatic, woo!
This spell hurts my eyes. Yikes.
-
I think the reason is you jumped straight into UFO Lunatic which to be frank is not a very good choice. For most people, anyway. What about EoSD or MoF?
EoSD Lunatic? Isn't that one of the hardest in the series? I only have that and UFO remaining of the main games (not counting PoDD/PoFV). (Well, and SoEW, but that game is annoying for the wrong reasons, and not that hard anyway.)
I'd probably rank the Windows games, from easiest to hardest to 1cc on Lunatic, TD, PCB, IN/MoF, SA, EoSD, UFO.

It's a pretty tough spellcard but as with anything, it's a matter of practice. Give it a go every a few times every other day and you'll probably start to see recurring patterns in the attack and you'll start picking up experience about what kind of dodges are the best for each situation. The amount of things that can happen are quite numerous so don't expect to capture it right away. In fact, it took me around 25 attempts before I captured it first time. Now I usually pacify it with 1 death (yeah, it always kills me once which is annoying) so what I'm trying to say is that you just need to be patient and you'll learn how to approach it eventually.
It's a seriously fun spell when you can dodge it so don't give up. Don't give up on UFO either, just try to make a few stabs at it whenever you feel like you've got the mental resources to stomach some frustration.
-
That's what I'm gonna do.
In other words, Futo's final spell is so much fun: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20946
Is it illegal to ask for score.dat's too? I would need a file for TH13 with all Overdrives unlocked as I really don't feel like playing through Easy and Normal mode. If somebody's kind enough, yes? :>
I couldn't find anything about it in the rules so forgive me if it's frowned upon.

Thanks a lot. Too bad that just now... my fucking controller ceases to work.
Now I can go get it exchanged next week. *sigh*

Alright, that's it. I'm not going to buy any more PC accessory to play these games. I'm done.

Cleared through 4-1 in 90 FPS Double Spoiler. Dreading 4-2 though.
and cleared everything through Stage 4.
-
For some odd reason I thought Spleen Eater was a Satori spell and ended up going to the wrong stage. Capped DBDB :derp:.
-
Stage 5 90 FPS Double Spoiler fully cleared.
5-5 was annoying, 5-8 I almost beat first try but then took 100 photos to clear.
-
SA Stage 3 perfected! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20957) Fun boss, a couple close calls but I'll take it.
-
Perfected all 6 stages of Ten Desires on Hard except stage 5 (which I nearly perfected with one death on Futo's last card that I normally capture, and didn't bother retrying). It was easier than I expected. So I'm now attempting a no-bombs-no-trance Hard 1cc, though the low number of lives (even lower than usual without manual trances) is getting annoying.
Also captured Flandre's last three cards for the first time, all in a row. Though I'd only really consider the QED capture an accomplishment, since I nearly captured the other two the first time I cleared the stage 10 months ago, and just never bothered replaying the stage until now.
-
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20861
Mountain of Faith 90 FPS extra clear!
Without MarisaC, with FoxFanatic said he needed the 4 frostthrowers on Suwako for to beat.
5 captures, including Jade of the Horrid River and Snake Eats the Croaking Frog.
(admittedly this was ages ago, and I only had the 72DPS for the two most threatening cards and Mishaguji: Seven Stones and Froggy Braves the Elements)
AT ANY RATE
A part of me is feeling "I liked 90fps before it was cool" but the other 90% of me is feeling glad to see all this happening.
Congrats on all the clears!
-
EoSD Lunatic? Isn't that one of the hardest in the series? I only have that and UFO remaining of the main games (not counting PoDD/PoFV). (Well, and SoEW, but that game is annoying for the wrong reasons, and not that hard anyway.)
I'd probably rank the Windows games, from easiest to hardest to 1cc on Lunatic, TD, PCB, IN/MoF, SA, EoSD, UFO.
I wasn't ranking them by difficulty.
UFO is a terrible game to start with since it requires a lot of persistence+planning ability+dodging ability(sometimes!) and can get you rilled up easily, especially if you're outclassed.
PCB can give you a wrong sense of how good your dodging ability is, seeing as your success is often dependant on how clumsy your own character's hitbox/movement is, or opposing hitboxes.
He's already done SA.
TD is a disgrace.
I just find EoSD and MoF the most fun, really. I didn't suggest IN because you can bombspam it even worse than in MoF and the memorization required & hitboxes can really get on your nerves.
By the way, you shouldn't necessarily start with the easiest game, but the game you have the most fun playing (assuming it's not out of your league). It's why I've 1cc'd EoSD Lunatic first and have yet to 1cc TD Lunatic, for example.
-
Good grief, what's with you guys and those unnecessarily big words? TD is easier, sure, but I wouldn't really want to call it "a disgrace", you'll just make people feel bad about their 1CCs there. I think it's still genuinely challenging, especially during Stages 2 to 4, but as far as developing a sense for timing and strategy as well proper resource management are concerned, I think it's a very solid choice, especially if we're talking about the first or second Lunatic clear.
Personally, I'd recommend either TD or IN for quite a few of the reasons that apply to TD as well as the unlockables being a great motivational factor in general.
-
It's a disgrace to a series of STGs because there is next to no dodging involved in the entire game when you play the game like the designer intended you to. It's not a disgrace because it's easy; executing (and, in my case, finding the will to practice) trance routes isn't necessarily easy at all.
When I think of motivation, I think of gaining the ability to dodge things you couldn't dodge before. Games like TD won't help you with that.
-
I'm not sure ZUN fully realizes what kind of games he is creating when he comes up the scoring systems, so I'm not sure you can call it "the way the designer meant it to be played." I have a very hard time believing he would design the game like that while being fully aware of what the system boils down to. Nonetheless, I have to agree. Ten Desires is ridiculous when you play it a certain way, which is the way that it recquires if you aren't good enough to clear it the fun way. Just look at what I had to do to clear it at 90fps. So I'd say to save TD for when you can confidently clear the game without having to abuse the psychotic trance/bomb system.
-
Ah, I see, that is certainly true, I think that is especially prevalent in Stage 5 and 6 for instance. Stage 5 in particular can pretty much sustain itself if you go with the right route and get the maximum amount of Bombs - you'll only have to be able to deal with maybe 1 or 2 patterns total and Stage 6 doesn't have any real walls like, say, VoWG or LFS. Nonetheless, I think that doesn't quite hold up for Stages 3 and 4, though, so I wouldn't say that there's no dodging involved at all - I think the distribution is just a bit off.
To a certain degree you can play UFO like that as well, but there are more than enough parts where you need to dodge, whether it's because you screwed up a UFO route or because something else happened. And even if all goes well, there's still LFS. Not to mention, the correct execution of the UFO routes, oh boy.
Motivation probably depends a lot on the player, I just have the most fun unlocking Stages and Spellcards for Practice Mode so I can play them without any stress.
Anyway, thanks for explaining that phrase, I misunderstood your intention, though I'm still not a fan of such words.

Finally cleared Scene 4 on DS at 90FPS.
I've chosen to do this somewhat methodically, although this probably won't last once I start getting to the harder scenes.
I will say this though, I've never fully completed Scene 4 at normal speed, so this is a huge improvement for me.
4-2 was utterly wretched, it took 320 fucking attempts before a clear was achieved.
-
So let's face it, I'm utterly incapable of reading ANYTHING during 10-6.
I decided a while back to instead memorize absolutely everything and plan a route through meticulous trial and error.
It took me 2286 shots but I FINALLY managed to get a route that gets me 5 shots with relative consistency.
Right now I'm completely exhausted from all that playing, but unlike the last bunch of shots, I don't need to plan a route for the sixth, since getting it just once is enough. So I should have a clear sometime in the very near future.
-
It took me 2286 shots
What the actual fuck.
Patience like that is an accomplishment in of itself.
-
Look at the bright side, it's at 90FPS, so you can go through those photos a little faster!

On a higher note altogether:

Oh wow, I literally had a mental breakdown yesterday. I apologize for the dumb posting I was doing - and for hijacking the thread again.
I don't want to go in-depth as to what exactly happened so I'll leave it at "stupid shit happening". In any case, it doesn't excuse my attitude on here. Though I didn't want to pull a silent leave either (not that I would be able to keep it up for long anyway) so I figured it's better to just apologize and not hide like a wuss.
I'll be on hiatus for the next while, the series abnormally took over my life the past weeks; I have never obsessed over something to this degree. A lot of thinking has to be done (which doesn't include Touhou only, but it does among other factors).
Anyway, I don't want any pity or anything of the sorts, I just felt some explaining was due. Again I apologize for my recent behavior and I hope we can leave this behind.
Best thing you just ignore this post in its entirety and carry on with your Wins.
On the topic of TD: It was the game that got me into the whole series in the first place. Calling it a disgrace might be a bit blown out of proportion, for STG newcomers it's the perfect game with its rather simple danmaku and mechanics compared to the rest of the series. Given its rather scarce live and bomb extends (unless you know when exactly to trance/bomb - given that you have the resources at those points when they're necessary) it still retains some of the challenge, especially on Lunatic; you have less room to mess up due to the low amount of resources unless you know what you're doing.
Of course for all the peeps who have cleared the other games on Hard/Lunatic before, TD might be a cakewalk, no arguing. But going as far as calling it a disgrace is IMO a bit too much. ;P
-
Frankly speaking, I'm not your biggest fan, and I'm sure you've noticed that.
I've had my personal issues with you, however, that apology right there is something I can respect, so take your time to get your issues sorted out and come back after that. I might have jumped to conclusions regarding certain things you might have done myself, so let's find out if we can get along after all once you're back. Until then, just don't get your priorities mixed up - everything's cool in the right quantities, the right quantity being the one that lets you focus on the most important issues first.

Cleared Marine Benefit's Extra Stage.
Honestly her cards were fun but in the rage thread I'm going to bitch about the card that MAKES A BACKGROUND THAT BLENDS IN WITH THE FUCKING BULLETS
-

I have a very hard time believing he would design the game like that while being fully aware of what the system boils down to.
I think I agree with this. If you look at TD's patterns, a lot of them seem designed to be harder but possible to stay close to the bosses while also dodging the patterns. Look at, say, Futo's arrow non-cards, or Miko's first and third cards. (No-bombs-no-manual-trance scoring seems like it could be pretty interesting, though I'm not sure who would bother scoring with added restrictions.)
I wonder if it would have been better if bosses didn't give as many spirits (say, blue or gray only instead of both) during bombs, or if spirits collected during bombs didn't add to the trance meter...
-

And on that note, I'm taking my own small hiatus as well. Finals are coming up, and I can't afford to do poorly on any of them. ;P Until then, see you guys on the second week of June.

3.97% slowdown a shit, some noncards caused too much trouble for this old computer I was using. Whatever.
I'm content with this 1b. Now it won't haunt me anymore, and I can return to fully grinding UFO.

Finally fucking beat Koishi, after four tries or so that get to Philosophy of a Hated Mind. She's the best Extra Stage as far as uniqueness. Suwako Moriya is the most fun Extra Stage, though.
I went, from Genetics (Which I timed out again) to the end of Subterranean Rose, four spare lives to zero.
-
I was reflecting on my past. On what I wanted to do with my life. And some other filosophical stuff I won't bore you guys with. In the process I thought, I never really cleared Great Fairy Wars Lunatic on other routes than A1. Let's go fix that. UFO, SA and MoF are fun games but I've played them so much that I'm starting to lose my interest in playing Touhou and with no announcements of a Touhou 14 I needed to look at what we already have. So have my first stab at clearing these modes. GFW Lunatic A-2 clear. It took two attempts. One to find out what's where and one to clear it with 700+ motivation.
Even if the game is very resource heavy, it's still exhilerating fun on Lunatic mode. I've probably already mentioned this but the stages are really good. It's like ZUN didn't design these. What the hell happened? They are not terrible? Call an ambulance guys! Why can't the main games have stages like these? You know, with the fast bullets and forcing me to move around the screen rather than just tedious micrododging? The boss patterns are also devastating on Lunatic mode. I had a chance to Gold medal a lot of them on Hard but on Lunatic the patterns are so tough that I need to use the Ice for basically all of them (which still doesn't kill their challenge).
The game might not be hard to 1cc but the patterns are still intense enough that it's fun.
Good times. Esupanitix, you should play this game too.
-
Good times. Esupanitix, you should play this game too.
I have played it. It's very fun to me. I 1cc'd routes A1 and A2 on Normal and I'm stuck on B1. Fucking hell Sapphire, why do your cards knock me from 600% to 200% on a normal basis?
I'd rely on using all of my bombs but BOMBS AREN'T RESTORED ON EVERY LIFE NOW ARE THEY

Then 1cc those on easy to unlock extra
I'm not even sure if this is an accomplishment, especially after Malkyrian's post, but:
DS 7-3 90 FPS in 5 shots (requires 5)
DS 7-4 90 FPS in 6 shots (requires 5)
DS 7-5 90 FPS in 16 shots (requires 6)
DS 7-6 90 FPS in 17 shots (requires 7)
Compare to Stage 6's 216, 261 and 194 for 6-2, 6-3 and 6-8, respectively.
I'm skipping 6-5, 7-1, 7-2 and 7-7 for now.

Crazily persistent does not even begin to describe what you are.
Massive congratulations from someone still banging their head against 90FPS Scene 5 DS. :V I sympathise with how utterly infuriating 90FPS photography can be.
On the bright side, only BoWaP to go now, right?
And now we place bets on how many shots it will take! Go go go!
-
9001 shots.
Seriously though, I spent the better part of 3 hours last night playing DS EX-6 to beat Seiga's time, and I only added 1000 shots at 60 FPS.
Doing some quick math and adjusting for time not spent in charge...Malkyrian, you spent about 12 hours playing that scene.

And then there were none. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21050)

I have now spent another hour improving it further. I got a 180.54 on attempt 3, shame it was a frame slower than yours.
However, I since beat that with a 180.70, and that has a slow rate of 0.000%!
I win.
I can hardly wait to get there at 90 FPS to begin the insanity anew! :getdown:

I don't own Double Spoiler. :qq:
As for accomplishments...well, I've been playing through BoWaP for a while, and to my astonishment?
I am actually enjoying it. This is really fun.
And I'm improving quickly. Already got 4 shots a bunch of times, and getting 3 shots a good majority of the time.
After 10-6? This is NOTHING. 85 scenes clear, here I come.

PS: Congrats to Papillon! First extra clears are always awesome, and that Maze of Love capture looked so pro.
Hee, thanks! The funny thing about Maze of Love is that I was having a really bad time of it at first - like, I'd lose a ton of bombs and a life or two and end up in a huge teeth-gnashing rage as a result. Then, during one attempt, it just clicked and oh hey now I can capture it all of a sudden how did that happen.
Four of a Kind is still a stupid jerk though. Damn it Flan, stop hiding behind your clones so I can shoot you!
One thing I've been wondering though: does rank have as much of an effect on the Extra stage as it does in story mode? As much trouble as Flandre and the stage gave me, I noticed that the difficulty was a lot more consistent than my Normal 1ccs were.

It's certainly less noticeable than in the main game. I think most of the difference is slight changes in speed rather than additional bullets, and a lot of stuff is probably just unaffected. And congratulations. :D I remember what it's like to finally beat Flandre after days of practice.

According to this post (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,12129.msg805440.html#msg805440), rank only varies between 14 and 18 in Extra, as opposed to between 10 and 32 in the main game. Personally I've never even noticed it in Extra.
Speaking of EoSD Extra, I managed to complete it without bombing (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21005), something I've been going for in various Extra stages lately... and it would have been without dying as well if I hadn't randomly run into a bullet twice (pretty much the exact same thing that happened to me against Nue a few weeks ago). That makes three Extra stages that I know I can perfect but haven't yet.

Holy bananas! That's some massive accomplishment, dude :dragonforce: So you're the first person who actually performed this, aren't you? Now make one hueg video of StB @ 90 fps in order to celebrate that fact.

Yeah, grats, jeez. Did you count the number of hours dedicated to this?
Or, if you made a new score.dat just for this challenge, you can count the total pictures taken. :V

I did make a new score.dat just for this. That's how I was able to keep track of which ones I'd cleared.
I'm too lazy to go back and count the total pictures, but here (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/41893180/scoreth095.dat) is a copy of the score.dat, so you can see for yourself. :3

That's damn impressive man. I don't think I could ever match this persistence. Very good job. Really, you should put them all up in a video (or two). I remember you said that you suck at making video compilations but if you upload all the replays in an archive, i'm sure someone can make that video for you. I could probably do it too but I'm not sure if my hardware will allow me to record at 90FPS with Shoot the Bullet.

I finally cleared EoSD Extra. Started a while ago, but lost motivation at some point. After seeing Papillon and his Extra clear, I wanted to bring it to an end.
I forgot to shotgun Flandre at the beginning of Kagome Kagome, resulting in a death. Also, the reason why I never captured Maze of Love before is because I was always trying to do it focused...I couldn't handle MoL unfocused before, but now I could do it. :D Seems like I'm getting better.

Oh and Congratulations at Papillon for your Extra clear and Malkyrian for the insane feat of beating StB on 90fps.

Ahh, I figured as much. I'm kind of glad, too; Flandre would've been a nightmare if you had to fight her with the difficulty swinging up and down and all over the place. That said, I wouldn't mind a version of the game that kept track of your current rank - it's the fact that it's hidden that hurts it the most, since you never really know which version of a card you'll be getting until it's too late.

Holyyyy- :o Congratulations! That's incredible that you were able to pull that off. I'm still trying to figure out stage 5.
I should really get back to playing StB at some point. When I first tried it, I burnt out because the difficulty was higher than what I was expecting (though to be fair: it was my second bullet hell after GFW), but I think I might have a better chance at beating it once I work through the rest of the first Windows gen. Maybe! Just gotta keep trying.

In wake of my th11score.dat deleting itself, I went and cleared Normal and Extra again.

PCB was one of my favorites back when I was less skilled at danmaku games. I tried PCB Ultra but it turned Yuyuko's final spell into a pretty much undodgeable mess. I think that was the reason I quit playing it.
I guess I'll give it a shot again though. I kinda wanted to go for Fairy Wars Lunatic clears but that can be delayed for a while i suppose.

UFO LUNATIC 1CC! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21112)
...Not. Well i was so close to clearing it, i managed to capture great devil's recitation or what ever its called and was ever so close to capturing Vajra. I think stage 5 has let me down the most, but now that i've unlocked it, it should be no problem with practice start, then bomb the shit out of stage 6.
UFO really forces players to utilise Practice Start. Whereas others...Maybe SA and MoF, don't need to and it's possible to get a decent score and clear it at the same time.
Well having not playing Touhou alot, and only use practice start like 3 times a week, what do you think, or well tips of 'what i could have done better'?
-

That depends very largely on what you consider a decent score. At least for SA. Close call with that UFO run. You'll win soon enough. ;)

Thanks! I usually call a decent score when i hit the billions, and that usually goes for all Windows-based Touhou games, with the exception of IN and EoSD. For the case of UFO, i don't think i'll be doing that for some time, maybe 500 million sounds reasonable. :V

For my skill (Ha! Ha!) good scores would probably be
TH06: 125, 000, 000 (Even though I've only gotten 112m)
TH07: 800, 000, 000 (760m)
TH08: 1, 750, 000, 000 (1.6b)

TH12: 300, 000, 000 (250m)
TH13: 500, 000, 000 (470m)
These are all either Normal or Hard runs.
As you can see, my standards are obviously far below yours :getdown:

PCB Ultra attempted again. I did some practice with Stage 1 and 2 and Chen seems pretty hard compared to before, yet doable. I don't know if this is just Sunday syndrome though.
@Seppo
According to the website, a new revision has been released in 2012 and I don't think I've given the patch a shot this year. Not in PCB anyway. I haven't played Yuyuko yet so I don't know if things has changed but I sure hope they have.

For SA I'd say 2 billions and up. I got 1.3 billion in the game in one score attempt with no practice beforehand (as in bombing Parsee and S4 midboss for graze and really nothing beyond that) and I'd hardly call that decent. For IN I'd say about 4 billion is a decent score. PCB and MoF is probably around 1.5 billion. UFO around 1 billion. EoSD and TD, idk.

PCB Normal no-vertical 1CC. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21129)
Wanted to wait until I had a video of this one, but Youtube crapped out on me and somehow made the video literally impossible to watch after it finished uploading. Lately it seems like Youtube is refusing to let me upload anything. Had to try uploading the BoWaP clear three times, for fuck's sake.
I've set Youtube to start uploading, but I really need to go to bed, so I have no idea if it'll go through or not. If it's not on my channel within 2 hours of this post (and that's being generous, it shouldn't take more than 1), Youtube fucked up again.

Wait, only 1315 point items? I'm pretty sure I've reached 1400 on Easy in the past, though it took a lot of stage 4 practice. Though I think my point item value was lower than yours (my total score was around 1.019 billion).

If you're trying to reach a billion in UFO and don't care how, play on Easy (you don't want to be using any more lives/bombs than necessary, considering you only get 5 lives total when you're not summoning any red UFOs). I don't expect to be reaching a billion in UFO Lunatic for a long time after my first 1cc.
As for SA, score is basically doubled by difficulty (I got 1 billion on my first Lunatic 1cc, but I've only reached like 600 million on Hard, both with ReimuA meaning I used the BoWaP safespot), so a decent score depends a lot on what difficulty you're playing.
Personally I consider a decent score to be a run containing whatever scoring techniques I feel I can do reasonably well (oh, and it has to be higher than my previous high score of course).

Oi, I totally forgot about this run from yesterday.
It was pretty terrible. I died with 0 bombs to Ichirin's midspell, which I never fail, and that caused me to die TWICE with FULL bombs during the walls and fairyspam. I also missed 3 life pieces during Stage 4, died to Murasa's second nonspell, and to her third and last cards once each. I also died with bombs to the fairyspam @ Stage 5 and to the arrowspam right after Nazrin. Aaaand to top it all off I lost my last life, with 4 bombs in stock, trying to cap Byakuren's first card but getting clipped on the first wave.
BUT, I did manage to cap King Krakken Strike and NBND Stage 4's stage portion. Live. It was pretty great.

I originally did the 90FPS run to unlock Easy spells but I thought that 90FPS was fun so I did 120FPS and hung on, bombing the last card in so paranoid of a way that it makes an Easy player about to 1cc something on Hard look absolutely neutral.
I am satisfied. Also, I got a near-perfect Miko fight, besides the bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb at the very end.
Once I clear this game on Lunatic, I'm going to do 150FPS Easy.

GUESS WHAT I DID
Perfect Mountain of Faith lunatic Stage 4 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21190)
First try that got past the second waterfall. Momiji is such a fun pattern, and that was my best capture of Aya's 3rd nonspell ever. I certainly didn't expect a re-perfect of Aya after perfecting the stage, but there you go. PWG history is something like 5/14 total for me or some ridiculously high value like that, even though my score.dat says 1/2.
-
5/14 is pretty impressive. My rates are something like 35/120. :V
Congrats on the perfect stage run. PWG is pretty much the deciding factor and you apparently have a knack for that spell.
-

Hmm, this isn't looking very good. Youmu seemed like she could be effective, but I don't have enough experience with using her. Let's try Marisa.
Desire Sign "Score Desire Eater" 1/15
...guess speed makes all the difference. Also in TD, I perfected Stage 1 and got a no-death run where I captured all of the Stage 2 spells (bombed/tranced both boss non-spells). This bodes well for my next Lunatic attempt :)
-
2DNB MoF Stage 4 Lunatic.
This was nice. I was jittery yet I managed to cap a pretty dense PWG and all the other stuff.
I died to Momiji because of fun bullets coming out of nowhere with a 70 degree angle, and derped to the first spellcard because I dashed up instead of up-and-slightly-to-the-right. Not a reading mistake so I'm happy with this.

Eh, decided not to play UFO that much today, and did some PCB extra.
Two failed cards and rather mediocre playing. Bad border timing for the stage portion. I'd like to get that 20M spell bonus from the survival, but whatever, 19 is just fine.
More effort must be made, I guess. However, I'm not certainly sure if I'm willing to put anything but a couple of runs a day into PCB. After all, it is UFO what I'm heading for.

PoFV no focus hard 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21213)
The amount of fairies/spirits I run into in this is pretty amazing. I guess about 40% of the hits were from them.
And a lunatic 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21214)
Both done using Marisa.
I now have lunatic 1ccs of all the Windows STGs! :toot:

Well, finally have my first Hard Clear of a Touhou game ^^ PCB Hard 1CC with SakuyaB~ And to top it off, I captured her last spellcard (before the survival Reflowering card) ^^ Great day for me today~

So I decided to milk Marine Benefit Extra for graze.
I got 23168. (http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad256/Malkyrian/kaikeidou2012-05-1722-20-02-83.png)
I also timed out Bulk Brane in the process. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOcHh2TmgTY)
-
I just got another VoWG timeout. :toot:
e: Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52EEAKO6-R4)
Also EoSD perfect no-focus Stage 3, but that's a few days old.
-
Rainbow Danmaku felt impossible, but everything else could probably be captured with good planning. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=20658) Six bombs.
It's actually quite easy to capture Rainbow Danmaku no vertical on easy.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21236
(yes I know this is remarkably late but go get a no death no bomb no vertical run of this game)
It's also doable on normal, I just haven't managed a capture yet, I keep screwing up the lattice part.
-
Nothing big, but finally figured out how to deal with Remilia's last Spellcard in IaMP's Story Mode without taking damage while dealing damage. Really hated the Spellcard because I tried to go for damage at rather bad times in rather bad ways, but I actually love that Spellcard now that I can deal with it. Made it past Remilia for the first time in Hard Mode during that run, got all the way to Suika's penultimate Spellcard, so a clear on Hard might be within reach if I figure out how to tackle certain parts of the Yukari fight appropriately.
-
First attempt at No-Focus UFO Normal SanaeA got me to the nonspell before Vajra. I just MIGHT be able to do this if I don't try to do stupid stuff (like actually attempt Murasa's nonspells LOL).

I can get to the Prismriver sisters on PCB Lunatic no vert now.
Finally, a challenge in PCB BV

Touhou 12 Extra Ultra 1cc, one death. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21247)
I love how half of Nue's attacks are entirely unaltered and Nightmare of Heiankyou's "update" is rather laughable (it really is). This is a nice challenge though. Perhaps I should try TH11's Extra next. :D
e: Okay no, some of Koishi's attacks are literally impossible to dodge. Super Ego is completely undodgeable and Embers of Love covers basically the entire screen in pure white. Also Sanae's second spell, how am I supposed to do that? TH12 is doable but TH11's Extra is just idiotic. Too bad, the rest seemed really fun though. :(
-
Perhaps I should try TH11's Extra next. :D
Ooh, look forward to the heart spells and embers of love then. :V
-
Perhaps I should try TH11's Extra next. :D
Only Naut can do this :V
As for UFO ultra extra it looks rather easy, yeah.

Whoop-de-doo, MoF Lunatic 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21251)
I can't even describe how awful (amazing(ly terrible)?) this run is. I perfected the first two stages. Then I captured Nitori's mid-boss spell which I have never managed to cap before. Then I die to her first spell and then her second non-spell. Then more shenanigans in stage 4. Aya clips me with Saruta Cross. Two bombs at her survival. Two more at her last spell (goddammit, that shit is easy!). Then derp-deaths in stage 5, Sanae bitchslaps me, clips me one more time and then I capture her last spell for the first time.
Stage 6. Bomb where necessary. Capture Kanako's opener because at this point I had no faith left that this is going to work out (previous run had two more lives at this point) - I'm going all out now. Deathbomb her stupid clippy crop spell. Manage to cap her third non-spell as well. This is not as bad as I thought. A few quick dodges at Source of Rains and a last bomb to finish it off. VoWG time. First few bombs okay, now I'm actually using my resources. Then death - nooooo, I could have bombed at least one more time. Now it's getting intense. Use up the remaining bombs and then on zero power and zero lives I survive the spell and beat that dumb wench.
Now I'm happy (In all seriousness, waugh, I didn't expect this of all things to happen). xD
-
and then on zero power and zero lives I survive the spell and beat that dumb wrench.
Those are always the best clears. Congrats!
Speaking of clears?
(http://i.imgur.com/VYFzI.png)
Max lives, but I didn't even need two. <_<
I still don't know what these stats mean. Anyone care to translate? (http://i.imgur.com/TJiG1.png)

I say since max lives is 2 above standard, and you ended with two spare, you've got yourself a Lunatic 1cc.

@Seiga: I think I know some of them.

I'm on the computer I talked about here (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,12401.0.html) atm, but I wouldn't be surprised if it lagged a little because no fps counter. I'll still take it. <_<
-
I figured out in the past (with a lot of trial and error and stage 1 suiciding) that one of them is either percentage of point items collected or percentage of total items collected. I think it was the one below game completion. No idea about the rest.

So I went and timed out Apollo 13 on Normal (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNIGilNt6UE).
Then I thought, Lunatic shouldn't be all that different, right? Ahaha, wrong. That was epic failure.
I decided that if I couldn't time it out, I may as well go for a capture. So I switch to Yukari solo (who I use for most of my captures now).

Finally, UFO Hard 1cc. I thought this day would never come... (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21280)
It was a pretty terrible clear though. I made really stupid stage mistakes in Stages 2-4. LFO was easier than I was expected, and of course, I ran into a bullet while Byakuren was already buzzing at low health, ruining my would-be capture. :( But, who cares. I DID IT.

IN Route A Lunatic 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21284)

-

Really? That's surprising, I'd put either SA or TD second hardest, depending on which I manage to clear first.
I beat Komachi first round on normal.
With Reimu.
At 90 FPS.
but why can she kill me twice sometimes?
-
I beat Yumemi first round on Lunatic. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csydcvh_3Vw)
With Reimu.
At 60fps.
Seriously though I don't think this is supposed to happen.
-
Just got Virtue of Wind God down to 40 seconds!
Then I died.
Then I died 20 seconds later.
Then I died again 10 seconds after >.>
So...3DNB timeout, when my best is 2DNB. However, this is my longest survival into the card, so I'm happy.
-
I beat Yumemi first round on Lunatic. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csydcvh_3Vw)
The early bombing and the second hit make sense with the cpu getting boxed in by fast-moving and direction-changing orbs (which shows the potential payoff of going full-tilt and sending ex-attacks with a boss summon, at least with Reimu), and the first hit makes sense if the cpu is on some sort of timer (like with PoFV, which I assume it must be), but the third hit was bizarre. Waltzed right into the path of the moons, had ample time and space to readjust, but - instead of moving - it just sat there and got squished.
That would have been a short round even for a third or fourth attempt, let alone the first.
I suppose my next goal is getting lunatic 1ccs in PoDD with all characters (aside from Chiyuri, duh; my hard 1cc will likely have to suffice there). Reimu didn't feel like much of an accomplishment... just had to get used to the increased pace and using a more reserved strategy. That is: in hindsight, trying to kill every single fireball and always trying to maintain a chain were making things unnecessarily crazy. PoDD's quirks are slightly more infuriating than PoFV's, so I'll probably soon trade crosses for hotdogs as the subject of my profane outbursts; but now that I have a taste of blood, I know I won't be able to put this down at least until I'm satisfied that I've taken it as far as I can. Plus holy shit that soundtrack (pre-st8 music especially; pity there doesn't appear to be a single good arrangement of it).

I am now a Tengu Master :V (can i post the picture?)

I am now a Tengu Master :V (can i post the picture?)
is that the screen for beating Spoiler Stage?
or is there a separate screen for clearing 108/108 scenes?
-
There's a separate screen for 108/108, but i'm not sure if that would could as an "ending"
-
I think there's also a separate one for clearing all scenes with both characters, though I'm not sure if it's the same one as the 108/108 one. I only remember that I was surprised, then again, I can't even remember the 108/108 one.
-
The picture appears if you capture all the scenes with both characters, this is the message:

(if showing the "ending" is wrong please edit the post or PM me)
-
Ah, that explains the situation. I don't think this particular case is forbidden, at least Nintendonut did not face any repercussions for posting a screenshot of the last message of the UFO credits back when he perfected Byakuren.
Anyway, congratulations!

IN Route B Lunatic 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21294)
So I thought Eirin was harder than Kaguya. At least on Hard this is the case. Suddenly Kaguya steps her game up by 200% and goes all out blowing me away like nothing. Her final rainbow spell, I wasted absolutely everything on it and as always, I ended the game with zero resources. A LOT of lucky dodges were involved, I didn't even quite know what I was doing at that point.
Imagine, had I died at her last spell and ruined the entire run; no, I don't wanna think about it. But wow. I did it and that's all that matters right now. =P
-
(http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad256/Malkyrian/survived.png)
And I SURVIVED.
That is achievement enough.
-
Welp. Guess it was bound to be a pretty cool run of the stage given I'd had to continue and all so I had the default 3 lives, but...I would have NEVER thought I'd, for my first time beating her, 1D Kanako(and ND the stage by remembering I can abuse bombs due to the last fairy's power items). (Only Normal, but still.)
Also for my first time defeating her, a capture of the titular card was definitely a nice bonus. I'd faced "Mountain of Faith" a few times before, but not too many. I feel like due to the bombspam you can do in this game I might be able to pull off a no-death run someday.
...is a 1-death run even that big a deal if MoF, given the abusability of bombs? Ah well, I finally have Stage 6 in Practice Mode so I can keep whacking at it without having to go through the first five stages, so there's that.
So yeah. Finally got Stage 6 normal in practice and capped Mountain of Faith.
-
Just tried PCB extra and got 45.9% done! I mean it was my third try but, it was a lot better compared to 15.5% and 43.2%.

In a terrible run of MoF Stage 4 Normal, I finally capture Momizi's crazy pattern! :D
-
I just captured Virtue of Wind God hard
After about 12 tries
By contrast I have only captured 1 of Nitori's and Aya's spells, while the only Kanako spell left is Kizui Clear Water
-
Finally figured out how to somewhat consistently complete UFO stage 1 on Hard/Lunatic with 4 lives and 2 red UFOs at the end (which requires summoning a red UFO during Nazrin's midboss card, as far as I know). That's an accomplishment, right?
-
(which requires summoning a red UFO during Nazrin's midboss card, as far as I know)
Um, no.
That's an accomplishment, right?
Accomplishments are relative! It's what you want it to be ~
-
Well, during or immediately after, right? I've never been able to defeat Nazrin fast enough as SanaeB to not let the small UFO escape.
-
You usually do it a bit before finishing off Nazrin, yes. I doubt there's another way of getting 2 UFOs at the end.
Anyway, if you planned this alone, good job. I had to consult replays to learn that one. >.>
-
Reached 700k Cherrymax at the end of the Extra stage, on SakuyaA.
Sadly, this was on a run with two deaths and three failed spell cards.
-
Wow, interesting, never really looked into that. Entering Stage 2 with two red UFOs, you could summon a red UFO right at the beginning and still have a blue and green one in time to summon the multicolour-one by picking up the red UFO right at the beginning of the barrage with the huge bullets. Not bad at all! Wouldn't have helped me in my run unless I had scrapped my strategies for the later stages since I had my red UFOs planned for different parts and focused on Bombs, but this approach should prove immensely helpful with pretty much any other strategy.
-
Anyway, if you planned this alone, good job. I had to consult replays to learn that one. >.>
Depends on what you consider consulting replays. I thought it was impossible without bombing until I saw it done by a few other people, so I had the general idea of summoning a red UFO a little before finishing off Nazrin's card, but I didn't look closely enough to copy their route. The trickiest part was figuring out that staying near small UFOs (do they need to be the type that changes color?) actually also delays them from leaving the screen.
-
So, about that first-round Yumemi...
[14:32] KB: i wonder how much easier later bosses get after continuing. first round kill of yumemi probably isn't legit after continuing against chiyuri but i'm curious how close it is
[14:32] eb: pretty sure it is legit
[14:32] eb: which char are you using
[14:32] KB: kana
[14:32] eb: uh
[14:32] eb: that's interesting
[14:33] KB: it probably lasted about three and a half minutes
[14:33] eb: just hope you didn't use up all the bullshit luck you were going to get on a creditfeed
[14:33] KB: hahaha
Some other interesting info came of that convo, like "I *think* the AI eventually gets stupid even in stage 9 but it takes like more than ten minutes total [across multiple rounds]". Never would have guessed that survival time from previous fights (with the same boss) would make a difference. I've started a text file for PoDD notes to document this stuff since there isn't any repository of this sort of info that I can find (not on the English wiki or on MotK, anyway; tried google searches too but didn't get much more).
I could rant about this game forever but I'm not sure you actually want that much info. :V
I'd be all ears for any other tips or quirks, especially anything that one might never know. I'm in sponge mode.
I also never knew that Shiki had two timers. Apparently the second one kicks in on her last sliver of health. Gonna have to watch some replays at some point to figure out how that one works.
-
Managed to clear DS 5-5 at 90FPS.
Took like 200 attempts or so. Pure reading laser nonsense at 1.5x the speed is not fun.
Only have Deep Sinker left of Stage 5 and it proves rather challenging.
-
Picked up 9-3 and EX-7 in DS.
Why are NONE of Satori's scenes fun?
and why are none of Reimu's fun? Does matter since I just got EX-1 with Aya.
Either way, only 4 to go, one each from Orin, Koishi, and Marisa.
oh and 21 from Iku.
HAHAHA TAKE THAT NAGAE 10-4 CLEAR
Also...
HAHAHAHAHA SATORI TAKE THAT IT ONLY TOOK ME 141 PHOTOS TO CLEAR 9-7 A SECOND TIME AND I DODGED SOME OF THE LAST PHASE TO GET IT SO HAHAHAHA KOMEIJI YOU SUCK
No this isn't rage this is accomplishment sillies.
I guess 10-7 with Aya too.
edit number who knows how many: Totally not a TAS replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21326)/sarcasm
<Naut> now edit number ei-- whoops nine
-
I'd be all ears for any other tips or quirks, especially anything that one might never know. I'm in sponge mode.
Well alright then. I guess I'll write out everthing I know, including some plainly obvious stuff just for the sake of being thorough. I'll try to keep it organized.
First off, the enemy formations. (Ghosts, moons, whatever, I'll just call them ghosts.) A few of them have some not so obvious tricks to them, so I'll mention them. Some general stuff though, would be that the next wave of ghosts won't appear until the current one is removed from the screen, and if the last one to be removed left on its own (flying offscreen) there will be a notable delay before the next wave appears. Also note that only the ones which are destroyed in explosion will charge the spell gauge, so sweeping them away with a lvl1 does nothing, though it can still be a good idea for getting rid of the crappy unchainable waves quickly. As for specific waves:
The waves that appear from the very center of the screen, led by a large ghost followed by a spinning circle of smaller ghosts - If you let the lead ghost get pretty close to the bottom of the screen and then destroy it, the explosion catches all of the other ghosts in the circle, which won't happen if you destroy it near the top.
The long line that slides down one side of the screen, then moves horizontally to your position - If you remain perfectly still, they actually won't reach you, instead dropping down just to the side of you, but still close enough to get hit by your shots. So they effectively have no way of hitting you unless you move toward them on your own. They can also be very useful for reflecting bullets and spirits since you can guide them to any part of the screen that you want.
The short column of large ghosts that appear on one side, follwed by a similar row from the center - When the column reaches the bottom it "falls over" and spreads across the screen. If you wait until it's almost overlapped with the other set then shoot the ghost nearest the edge of the screen, you'll usually chain them all together.
And that's all I can think of for those idiots at the moment.
Now about the characters. Spells, Boss attacks, etc. First, a short thing about boss attacks in general. With the exception of Chiyuri, who seems to teleport at random, every boss appears to follow a specific movement pattern. They appear in the upper center, then move in a counter-clockwise diamond shape. Knowing that makes it easy to predict where they will be so you can hit them much more easily, especially if you have a really slow lvl1 ( like Yumemi's, for example). Some attacks that they use cause them to stop moving, however. Anyway...
Reimu - Her spell attacks are aimed (it took me forever to realize this) though a few bullets appear to be static. If you're feeling adventurous you can attempt to massively misdirect the whole thing to one side, but the screen needs to be fairly clear and it helps to be a fast character. (It's usually a bad idea.) Otherwise a single tap dodges it easily enough. Her boss attack has two attacks that look similar though you want to be able to tell them apart quickly. One of them fires yin-yang orbs to the sides and then brings them to the center, where they form a pretty solid wall. For this, I dodge completely around it. Then there's a similar one which is much easier to deal with, so staying under Reimu the entire time should be easy for that one.
Mima - I think the spell attack is all random. Her boss has one attack that alternated between an aimed shot and then aimed around you. So you can effectively just stream that one. Remember that the EX attacks are color coded (red goes offscreen) and otherwise there's nothing too noteworthy about Mima.
Marisa - The lasers are actually bullets that fire from the bottom of the screen, leaving a wall behind them, so they have no "inactive phase" like Chiyuri's. The boss attack that is made of only purple stars is static, and so is the one where she summons lasers on her own. For that I usually go to the side, since there will be two lasers right next to each other in the middle. (Also note that Marisa can't bomb or hyper while firing her laser.)
Ellen - Fuck Ellen. There's not much to know about her, though she has the mysterious property of dying much more quickly than any other character. I think it's from her slow movement paired with her utterly useless lvl1. If you're playing as Ellen, make sure to stand on top of bosses while using a lvl1 during a bomb. That way every missile hits the boss, and sometimes they hit twice. If you don't do that she can't kill bosses with just a bomb and a lvl1.
Kotohime - She indicates what she will do next with the behavior of the bombs orbiting around her. If they stay still, she uses the aimed attack, so misdirect it to a corner. If they spin close to her, she does the slower attack, and if they spin while drifting away from her, she does a faster attack. They're all static-ish, so knowing which one is coming helps a lot. She doesn't signal the attack with reflectable bullets, but that one is no threat. It's worth noting that her boss attack produces almost no reflectable bullets (only 1 out of 4 possible moves), so it's usually hard to get rid of her by chaining bullets. On the other hand, she attacks so slowly that you usually only have to dodge one attack if you keep hitting her with lvl1's.
Kotohime's lvl1 seems to do much more damage at close range, probably because it starts out moving slowly.
Kana - The easiest opponent in my opinion. Her EX attacks don't even block bullets. Her spell attacks are static and have countless safespots, though they vary depending on spell level. I don't know if you can tell if her Yuuka-esque move will create gaps or go with the big wall approach.
Rikako - Nothing too special here. The spacing of the bullets in her spell attack is determined by spell level. Normally it will miss of you don't move, but at level 16 the last bullets are aimed right at you. There's some other spell level (it may or may not be 15) where the bullets seem to be aimed around you but one of them hits you if you don't move. Riakako is fairly simple to deal with when her boss attack isn't active, since the gears are so slow (though the homing ones will move absurdly fast if you go above them near the top of the screen) and the spell doesn't threaten you until the last few bullets.
She's also got that weird glitch. From what I've seen, it (sometimes?) activates when you win a round during a hyper. Essentially, the spinning gears from the hyper will remain around you, though you do not keep the invincibility. You also can't use spells of any level (even level 1), so it's really a disadvantage in my opinion. The only way to get rid of it is to hyper again, which means using up your bombs. It's really not an problem though since it can't happen to you in story mode (presumably because winning a round just takes you to the next opponent). It can happen to the AI however, if you end up losing a round to it. Since it won't be sending any spell or boss attacks at you (at least not the manually activated kind) until it hypers again, it usually makes the match a cakewalk.
And another thing. If your timing is perfect with her lvl1, you can kill most bosses before they do anything. You want to use the lvl1 just as the boss appears, and slightly to its left, so the right half of the circle of gears hits the boss. They always move left first, so the boss moves right through the gears and takes a ton of damage. If you're firing normal shots the whole time and the boss isn't abnormally speedy, it'll die before getting in a single attack.
Chiyuri - The lasers are much more forgiving than Marisa's kind, since they show you where they will be before they activate. She's pretty straightforward to play against. Everything goes apeshit, and you spend a lot of time streaming. I recommend not being too reluctant to bomb, since with all the crap flying around you recharge hypers almost instantly, and I personally find that a single bomb may not even be enough to kill a boss attack against her. Either her boss is healthier than everyone else's or it becomes invincible while teleporting, or something. (And the teleporting itself can just make her hard to hit too.) Also, if you ever end up trapped and are forced to stream up the edge of the screen, charge a lvl1 as you do so to get rid of any spirits that might spawn above you. That's a pretty good idea in any situation where movement is restricted in fact. (Lasers, while streaming, etc.) Prepare a lvl1 for stuff that you can't dodge because your movement is limited. Also remember she's got the same glitch as Marisa going on, in case you're playing as her.
Another odd thing about her - She's the only character who's boss attack changes the background. :wat:
Yumemi - Half of her attacks are easy and half are impossible. The spell attacks are aimed and are effectively no threat. When she does the aimed crosses try to stream diagonally, since if you go all horizontal the arms will catch up with you, the idea for this attack is not scatter the crosses all over the screen.
Some random other crap:
Most characters have the same hyper, though Reimu, Marisa, Mima, and Rikako's are unique and more powerful. Ellen's is also unique but it's total shit and worse than the normal one.
The AI seems to get stupider while you're using a hyper. I'm not sure if the stupidity goes away completely after the hyper wears off, or if you keep weakening the AI with each one you use. In any event, using a hyper when the AI has half a heart left usually kills it.
The combo counter in the upper left caps at 99, though if you go over it the "max combo" bonus at the end of the stage can be over 99. That one won't ever go past 255, and I'm not sure if the game keeps track past that point and it's just a display thing, or what. That other number under the hit counter (is it "spell points?") won't go past 6mil or something, and again, I don't know if the game keeps track past that point or not.
If you're going for score, the best strategy I've found is to spam lvl2's and hope the AI reflects them back at you.
Generally, it takes 3 hits for you to die, but getting hit early on does little enough damage (1 heart or less) that you still need to get hit three times again to die. So getting hit very early doesn't matter, and you've no need to bomb. Also, it can be a tough call sometimes whether you'd rather use a bomb or just take a hit, even late into the match. Generally I'd say don't bomb if you know you'll only be hit once, since they are best used as "get out of hell free" tickets. (Killing bosses, in other words.) On the other hand, using up the bombs lets you use hypers, and against some people (Chiyuri, for instance) you may not want to value bombs as highly, since you'll be getting hypers very quickly. This kind of decision making is weird and depends on the situation though, so you'll end up thinking on the spot in most cases. Or just winging it. :V
Now I realize I just typed a wall here, and a lot if it's probably useless info. That's all I got for now then, though I may think of other stuff later. Character specific strategies, blah blah, etc. You maybe knew it already, but I've got lunatic runs with every character other than Chiyuri on Youtube, so maybe they could be somewhat helpful.
Also, I'm going to check out how continues effect Yumemi's immortality. It's odd that she'd sometimes lose the first round, especially to Kana. It might make sense if she were completely trapped, but when I beat her with Reimu she pretty much just threw herself into the ghosts. If it's true that she weakens with time instead of victories, I wonder just how she could get messed up.
And as long as I'm posting in this thread, here's an accomplishment. - Proper streaming technique! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9mraotXCiM&feature=youtu.be#t=20m9s)

Whoa.
Whoa and thanks.
There were several things that I didn't know, so that was informative. Should be helpful, too, but I'm a bit tired at the moment to try to apply anything, so I'll have to comment on that later. There were a few specific things I'd like to comment on and at least a couple that I'd like to add, but I'll do that later as well since I know I'd toil for a half hour or so over what I could be forgetting when I should instead be relaxing and getting to bed. So just one thing for now...
Ellen - Fuck Ellen.

I just cleared 8-7 and 9-4.
Only 10-8 and EX-5 remain.
Iku and Marisa.
I'm not sure which of the 2 I'm dreading more >.>

First time playing Marisa A on EoSD Extra stage, and I got this.

Oh wow.

and...I guess Iku's is down?
145 pre-clear shots to get 10-8.
Only EX-5 remains.
I'm coming for you Marisa.

Flying Fantastica captured!
That's all cards on normal captured (minus some non Reimu-A Satori Cards)

IN Normal FinalA (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=21344) and FinalB (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=21312) 1cc with Netherworld Team done!
This took way too long, but that's mostly because I had no time for Touhou the last 2 months. This somehow felt harder than the PCB Normal 1cc's.
Another reason was probably that I never had to make a route for IN Easy, because it was just too...easy. Unlike PCB and EoSD, where I had to plan a route for getting past stage 4, I never did this for IN, so I had to do it now.
Plans for next Normal clears: MoF->SA->TD->GFW->PoFV->UFO
-
I'd say UFO before SA. It's quite a bit easier on Normal.
Also, I think I might just be learning how to do Devil's Recitation. Now if only I would stop misjudging hitboxes during St. Nikou's Scroll... Honestly, it's like they're twice as big or something. Massive PCB syndrome.
-
I tried SA Normal already and didn't even get past Stage 3 with the first few runs...I need to try out if UFO Normal is better before deciding on that.
-
Scorerunning UFO Easy??
Kyahahahaha!
I got 372,000,000 points. Which I suppose I could be proud of were the nagging bit at the back of my head not telling me that that score sucks.
I've got a replay. I'll have to submit it to the Fail Thread because of running into some freshly spawned spirals during Worst Byakuren Nonspell.
Also, got to Ichirin in Lunatic mode in a run that only spawned like four red UFOs :toot:
-
Okay, so I just got a fresh disc of PoFV. Had a friend who gave it to me for free. How awesome is that?
So how shall I celebrate this momentous occasion? Hmm, let's think...how about this?
LUNATIC 1CC (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21353) with aya
[/size]
Scarily close in so many places. Died on Marisa and Medicine, came nightmarishly close to dying twice on Marisa, came even closer to dying to Komachi but somehow managed a round 1 win, which turned out to be completely necessary as I won with not a round to spare.
Oh, and did I mention this was my first ever attempt at a PoFV 1CC?

Fuck. *worship* I must learn to play Lunatic Touhou~ Currently, on Hard Mode, so I'm on my way~ Still a long way to go though... :\
Awesome job on your part though, Malkyrian~
-
Aya is a broken character aainst the AI, but a lunatic 1cc with her is still tricky because she scores for crap.
Try it with Marisa though-that's a fun character to use (legitimate suggestion)
-
Today's acomplishment is low-key - I have made it to Koishi Komeiji without dying, and, in her fight, made it to her fourth card, Super-Ego.
Too bad I screwed up Ancestors and Danmaku Paranoia. And Release of the Id puts me in a blind panic, but hey, progress.
-
With the exception of Chiyuri, who seems to teleport at random, every boss appears to follow a specific movement pattern. They appear in the upper center, then move in a counter-clockwise diamond shape.
I'm an idiot. They move counter-clockwise for the first loop, then clockwise for the next.
There were a few specific things I'd like to comment on and at least a couple that I'd like to add
Looking forward to it. If there's anything at all I can learn about this game, I'd love to hear it.
e: And for the sake of attaching an accomplishment to this post, I'm consintently reaching Yumemi in no-bombs PoDD Lunatic. I'm still experiening strange self-destructive reflexes against Chiyuri however. I may spend a while facing her in match mode.
And there was that Chiyuri run that reached Yumemi with 3 lives. So goddamn close.

SUMIZOME PERFECT BLOSSOM TIMEOUT! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vd6EU3CXNlI)
This card was THE obstacle when I was going for a perfect PCB Stage 6. I'm honestly still having trouble believing I actually pulled this off.
-
The above put me in the mood to timeout some Lunatic Yuyuko stuff.
So far, all four nonspells & first card timeout get.
e: Also went ahead and tried this with Alice. None of her cards timed out (somehow.. I have no idea how I failed the second and fourth cards....)(I was close with 3 of them, and surprisingly enough, her first card was one of them ~_~) but all of her nonspells timed out. The only accomplishment here is her first nonspell, of course, which I did without going to the sides to dodge the blue waves.
There's also timing out midboss Alice(s). Alice #1 has been timed out (the progressive red & blue waves are actually pretty ridiculous) and I barely missed Alice #2 (same thing, red and blue waves are pretty hard).
-
Capped Shou's first spell and all three nonspells in one fight.
Shame I had to derp on her second and fourth cards. :(
-
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21362
Had I not died at Suwako's second spell due to mistapping (curse you MoF and your freaking obsession with micro-movement!), I would have perfected my first extra stage - if you were to not count the bomb used at the last fairy wall, though that one wasn't used for survival purposes but to collect a bit more stuff. Either way, I managed to capture both survivals in the same run for the first time and the second spell had to ruin everything. ;_________;
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21363
Perfected Nue for the first time. One death during the stage at the orb spam section because I couldn't bomb in time but doesn't matter. :D (Extra stage is the only thing I still play UFO for, in case you're wondering)
-
Playing through Lunatic Kanako to get to VoWG and savestate there to practice the crap out that spell.
Sightread captured about half of her spellcards and nonspells. I probably could've gone for more if I hadn't gotten bored and bombspammed my way to VoWG.
Kanako's...quite bizarrely easy for a Lunatic final boss. Barring VoWG of course.
Speaking of VoWG. Holy shit this card is great fun.
I get what the fixation is with this card now, it's a fun challenge.
-
Oh, hey, Koishi Komeiji defeated. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21366)

At last a no-death run of TH13's extra. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21367)
No extra boss puts me under as much pressure as Mamizou does; she's easily the hardest extra boss for me. I managed to capture everything up to her Reimu-copy spell, which I ended up timing out and then had to waste my trance gauge and a bomb at her survival - I got entirely out of rhythm at the second phase when the birds spawn. Usually I can make it to the last phase without problems but now I managed to mis-misdirect the birds right back at me.
Her final spell - which I to this very day haven't been able to capture yet - I ended up timing out. Another bomb went to waste but it's still better than kicking the bucket messing up my goal.
-
All right!
After far too long, First MoF Hard 1CC! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21368)
This is also going into the Fail thread for an unfortunate occurrence during the Sanae fight.

Not that I know what a good score is :I
You were able to clear hard! Now you can put "good at danmaku games" on your resume.
I doubt it :getdown:

I doubt it :getdown:
Well... good by ZUN's standards. :V
No really, worst placement of that message ever. MoF Hard. You could've been spamming bombs the entire way through and lose all your shrine maidens and he'd still tell you that you are awesome. I've heard that it's common in Japan to give people compliments even if they are not sincere. I think this might be an example of it.

As for me, managed to time out Apollo 13 again...but on Lunatic this time (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1XhHlN90S4).

Now do it on hard mode.
I actually find the hard version, well, harder than the lunatic version due to being slower, requiring more precise movements.

no (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21379)
Well, the density + the speed of Lunatic makes it a lot more harder than the Hard version

So after getting into the community and learning about the standards, I found out that my earlier 1cc-s of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil didn't count because playing with max lives is frowned upon. Fair enough. Instead of getting depressed, I set the amount of lives down to 3 (hopefully that's acceptable) and decided to try. And after several ragequits on stages 2-4, here it is!
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21383
Actually I was going to drop this one too after getting butchered by Patchouli (as usual), but decided that giving up all the time isn't the way to go. And despite totally forgetting how Stage 5 and Sakuya's spells work, I managed to reach Remilia with so many resources that I simply couldn't lose. I know it's just Normal difficulty, but it's still my best attempt ever, so I'm justified in feeling at least a bit proud.
If you decide to watch the replay, be sure to take a look at Stage 6 and see my capture of Scarlet Shoot (the first ever!), done in a very "I have no idea what I'm doing" fashion. Also you may notice that I bombed the hell out of Meiling. That's because at this point, I was sure that a stupid death was coming near, so I'd be better off just using the bombs instead of dying with all four in stock.
Also I'd love some advice on improving my panicked flailing.
-
Shoot the Bullet completed. Border of Bullshit was the last one I did, god did that one grind my nerves. I kept getting these literally undodgeable waves when only one photo was left until I figured out if I hurry up and charge all the time and take the photos in quick succession, Yukari won't even get as far. But I did it!
Also, can anybody tell me what this is? (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15731590/th095%202012-05-24%2018-32-16-32.png) I have the feeling this shouldn't even be here but in case it does, what exactly is it?
-
I think ZUN planned to add more scenes, but later decided not too (eventually making DS instead), so it's just an empty space there now.

I can't say definitively, but I think it was a placeholder for planned future content updates as more characters were added to the Touhou universe.
Didn't pan out, from the looks of it. But hey! We got Double Spoiler!

So after getting into the community and learning about the standards, I found out that my earlier 1cc-s of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil didn't count because playing with max lives is frowned upon.
What?
I have to disagree, a 1cc is a 1cc regardless of settings.
Although I did go back and beat EoSD, PCB and IN lunatic with default lives just to see if I could.
-

Well, that's not really my opinion, just the impression I had after reading various threads, plus in all the replays and playthroughs that I watched, the player started with three lives. All this gradually made me feel bad about playing with max starting lives.
-

I don't really frown upon on either.
These games are hard enough, more lives or not a 1cc is a 1cc. Achievements being relative and all that.
-
Starting the game with more lives than default doesn't detract from the accomplishment itself but it is obviously a given that a 1cc with default settings is worth more than a 1cc with extra lives tagged on. Especially in the case of IN where you can start the game with a ridiculous amount of lives. Of course, if your run didn't need the extra resources in the long run then the clear is obviously as good as a default lives clear.
Most scoreboards only take in scores made with default settings so I'd suggest you always stick to that. However, if you want to play with extra lives then just do so. Nobody here's going to fault you for it but your clears will probably not be as impressive.
-
Anyway!
Progress on the 90FPS Double Spoiler front has been slow, but there is progress.
Cleared 5-8, 6-1 and 6-2. Methodical!
And then I cleared 6-4 followed shortly by 6-5 and 6-6! Not methodical! Because 6-3 is lame and not fun to play.
Playing stats:
5-8: 201 shots
6-1: 107 shots
6-2: 561 shots
6-4: 41 shots
6-5: 23 shots (Not as hard as it looked, it would seem)
6-6: 7 shots (Wahahah!)
Weeee, rather bewildering persistence, I have it. :V

What I want is to play according to the rules most people use, gradually getting better and claiming more achievements. It simply feels better that way. No other game series has touched my ambition like Touhou before. Nevertheless, I like everyone's attitude about clearing the games with extra lives. Also I never meant to belittle any achievements other than my own. :P So I apologize, "don't count" was a poor choice of words.
I don't want to bring the thread further off topic, so here's a 1cc of Imperishable Night on Normal, done just a while ago (again my first with default lives):
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21395
A horrible bombfest, but it's interesting how I finished way more comfortably than before with two extra lives. Same goes for the EoSD replay posted above.

Congrats on those runs. I think the reason you're finishing more comfortably is that with the fewer resources you are being more careful to conserve the resources and better at bombing things.
-
6-5: 23 shots (Not as hard as it looked, it would seem)
Maybe I should go back and do 6-5.
Also, 6-3 isn't THAT bad, so you should probably go do it.
Have fun with 6-7 (the ultimate reflex test) and 6-8 (giant Suika wants a hug)

And then I did do 6-3. 95 shots.
I still hate this card. Weeeee spin and memorise the timings, I dislike cards as heavily reliant upon trial and error as this one.
EDIT: And then 6-7 went down. In 10 shots. I think ultimate reflex test is kind of an overestimation (I did dodge straight through one of the bursts through sheer goddamn luck though).
I reserve my right to refuse to do Hanako-san in the Toilet due to it being broken. Just throwing that out there.

Thanks. You're likely right. The only thing that happened was me banging my head against a wall in other Touhou games. I doubt that was helpful enough to allow such an improvement.
Edit: this (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21396) Imperishable Night run was much better. Bombed a bit less, plus I've never seen so many Last Spells at once.
-
So, I did 9-7 DS on my regular savefile way back before I started doing 90FPS DS with a new score.dat and all.
So I got to Stage 9, couldn't clear any stages. So I went "herp derp, let's play Seamless Ceiling! Maybe I'll get lucky or some shit." Since I was rather annoyed that I would have 9-7 as a blank spot on the savefile since I was assuming I'd never do it again.
Four shots.
I am not even fucking kidding. FOUR SHOTS. Far cry from the 2000 or so I spent on the first clear I had of this.
I've done this stage at 90FPS three times in total now, for one reason or the other. I don't even....
I AM THE SEAMLESS CEILING MASTAH!

Finished SA Ultra Extra with a life left. Still a couple retarded bombs, but hey, 737 mil isn't bad :V
-
If there's anything at all I can learn about this game, I'd love to hear it.
From me, doubtful. Just notes.
-Hitting Mima's EX orbs with a charge attack is a surefire way to land yourself the most insulting death possible. Unless you can dodge a screen-full of sizeable, light-speed balls. Which evidently I enjoy trying to do. All the time.
-Either I've had some wicked luck (and horrible vision) or you can cancel pellets by hitting fireballs with a charge attack, without the need of a chain. That is, fireballs have an explosion when hit with a charge attack. [You mentioned that fireballs don't explode when hit with a shot.]
-Sounds like this is especially important with Rikako's, but any charge attack that has an initial slow period should be pooped right on top of a boss whenever possible.
-vs Chiyuri, I find it helpful to generally avoid the middle third of the screen. I hang out on one side then jump across the screen whenever a shitstorm approaches. This greatly reduces risk from pellets and fireballs, and the delay in Chiyuri's lvl2/3 is long enough that it doesn't start firing until I've already moved. I think I only use this against Chiyuri. And never against Yumemi.
-"tiers are yumemi > reimu > rikako > everyone else > chiyuri" "rikako is secret top tier, yes, completely destroys chiyuri"

I don't want to play Normal due to yesterday super fail, so I go to 1cc MoF Easy on All Reimu shotypes :D
Too lazy to do it with Marisa though ;)
Pretty easy, yes, but a bigger accomplishment for me is that I seem to have started to develop a deathbomb reflex :)
I think I should play some TD, has been some time since I play it...
Edit: Turns out I forgethow to do TD entirely, but I managed to 1cc MoF Easy on All Marisa shottype as well :]
I should try Normal some time later...

Completed Perfect Cherry Blossom on normal.
Now, I know what you're thinking. Any half-baked bullet hell fan can do that. But there's more to my story than that.
Technically, this isn't my first time beating that. A couple years back, when I first discovered Touhou, I started with perfect cherry blossom. I was sucked in: I loved it, and kept coming back for more even after trying the other games in the series. After dozens upon dozens of tries, I finally, finally beat it on normal. Shortly afterwards, my interest waned, and I began to move on to other things.
Then, as it does, my interest returned. Several months later, I came back, and began right where I left off: PCB Normal. And yet, my skills had deteriorated in that time: I couldn't quite manage to beat the game again. Eventually I gave up, my interest waning again. This repeated for quite a while, until a few days ago. That was when I finally, after numerous tries, managed to recover my claim to fame: A 1CC clear of Perfect Cherry Blossom. I was finally once again as good at Touhou as I ever was.
The kicker? I won with two lives and two bombs left. After all those failures, I finally claimed victory with room to spare.

Cleared 8-6 and 11-1 on 90FPS Double Spoiler.
Not even sure what system I'm using for the order of scenes.
I'm more or less picking at random now.
250 shots later and 6-8 has finally been cleared.
All clear of scenes 1-6. Not bad! Followed shortly by 7-1.
Cleared 50 scenes in total now.
And then 7-3. 7-3 is the worst card. Fuck that shit.
-
K.B. - All good points, yeah. Especially staying to one side against Chiyuri. It's a good idea against almost anyone really, when your lvl4 is on the enemy's field, or at least if you notice the lvl4 starts using a reflectable attack. I usually move to one side until the enemy's screen is clear. I'd also never heard that Rikako is supposed to counter Chiyuri in particular. It always seemed to me that she just kills anyone really quickly. I guess her strength is in her gears, so her advantage may very well be exaggerated further against Chiyuri.
And about spirits exploding from a charge attack, I have to admit there have been times when I suspected that was going on, though I've never found any solid evidence in any of my recordings. You don't happen know of a particular character that does it, do you?
Somewhat related: I've found that lvl2 and lvl3 spell attacks are sometimes missing bullets for no clear reason. It's especially funny when Kotohime's bombs explode and nothing comes out.

Obligatory SA Lunatic 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21413)
A very measly performance throughout, failing the easiest of the spells (midboss Parsee lol), yet this run ended with the most resources - six lives yay! And I captured all spells after Utsuho's first one in one go too. x3
Oh and I almost managed to capture Cat Walk on zero power, but THE pixel kept me from achieving that (THE pixel refers to the last pixel of boss health, that is your death dissolves the spell). Shit.

Shameful MoF Lunatic 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21414)
Dear, I bombed a lawt but there's one highlight: a perfected boss Sanae. :D
-
Done it! (http://imgur.com/TQ7yj.jpg)
Finally unlocked Hatate at 90FPS. I made good progress over the last two days, from "stopped playing at 5-6" to "unlocked Hatate".
SP-8 is one of the most infuriating cards. Not amazingly difficult, not by comparison to other shit but still really annoying since I'm not sure what determines whether she'll jump straight at you and take a potshot and kill you if you don't see it coming or if she just continues on her normal zigzagging path.

You actually did it :V
Conglaturations !!! :toot:
Will you try for all scenes?
-
Stupid...
30 FPS...
I was like, 10 scenes away and totally would have done it...(first)
I'm still going to do it, though, but in the meantime, I perfected Stage 6 up to Source of Rains again...
6-2: 561 shots
6-5: 23 shots (Not as hard as it looked, it would seem)
216, from a while ago.
and just now, 6-5 90 FPS done...in 10 shots. WHAT
135 shots later, 8-3 clear with a really neat strategy. 90 FPS DS is harder than I remembered it being.
*more clears later*
Just need one from Stage 10...I thought I was done raging at Iku. (and Tenshi)
-
Will you try for all scenes?
Maybe, but probably very slowly and if I do. I'm probably gonna split the scenes between Hatate and Aya and just use whichever character's better for the scene.
Do you have to clear all 108 scenes with one character to get that ending screen, type thing? Or can you split it among the characters? Because seriously Hatate makes a joke out of some of the scenes.
-

Yes, they all have to be with Aya.
I have 107/108 (missing EX-5) and I just TASed it with Hatate.
No screen.

EoSD Lunatic 1cc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPl9dUEHJ5I) (that's a video by the way). I'm surprised I managed to reach Scarlet Gensokyo with 2 lives remaining, considering this game's lower resources.
-

Now I'm confused, were there two ending screens or are you talking about the one you get when you clear all scenes with both Aya and Hatate? We talked about this last week I think, I already forgot what we concluded, good grief.
-
Most n00b-tier achievement ever, but I finally 1cced UFO Normal (using Reimu-A, but I switch randomly between all of the shot types).
I was pretty happy with the OVERALL performance, though I did die on a lot of stupid, preventable things (like Byakuren's FIRST nonspell o3o).
I reached her with 6/3, but I kept dying with bombs in stock, and finished 0/0 on Flying Fantastica V:
Still, knowing that match could easily have finished at 3 or 4 lives, I'm pretty happy, and I capped some alright stuff, like Devil's Recitation and the second Nue (not good at her at all).
However, Reimu-A's shot is atrocious for the Extra Stage.
I'm seriously contemplating clears with Reimu-B and Sanae-B in the near future.
But I should go and do Subterranean Animism ._.
-
Timed out Sanae's opener.
Honestly wasn't that breathtakingly hard, but the dodges involved are pretty damn nice. Replay exists.
-
MoF Normal 1cc with ReimuA (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=21434)
I'll come back when I've 1cc'd it with every shottype. :3
-
Yeah, timing out Sanae's opener really isn't hard considering that I just timed it out again. I think that's 2/3, with the first attempt taking 2 tries (this is the first attempt after that).
Still fun.
-
I did it.
I beat Marisa's final scene.
I captured EX-5.
I have 108/108 with Aya in DS now.
and more importantly, I got 5 of the 8 familiars photographed in shot 4, giving me a free shot 5!
Of course, now I have to go do 32 of the harder scenes with Hatate now.
-
Captured A Tragedy Led by Fate (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=2wy0buXRNIQ#t=516s).
And then failed to save the replay because blue screen.
OTL
-
So...
I 1cced SA Normal (using Reimu-B V:).
On my SECOND proper attempt.
That 1/1 on Fixed Star =w=
'Perfect' card history V:
All I did was one failed run (made it to Stage 6 midboss Orin) and then six Stage 5 and 4 practices. o3o
Note there have been a couple of lolattempts where I've gone flying about and died on Parsee or Yamame and ragequitted, but I won't count those...
Only EoSD remains, and it looks utterly doable.
I got to Red Magic, and lost my last life 70 points from an Extend, and somehow I died even though a bomb went off right before/after the bullet hit me.
I don't know :T

IaMP Hard Mode Clear with Reimu! God, that was one hell of a drag. Key difference was, once again, not losing any lives to Remilia for the first time. Blew the usual Extra Life on Yukari and had almost two full Extra Lives for Suika's last Spellcard. Saving all my resources for the last part with the vortex was a good idea I guess, lost almost everything I had to that one part. The Spellcard is fun until the last phase, at that point it just turns into a matter of how the hell I'm supposed to actually deal damage. Think she took three Spellcards to the face before she finally went down, but just inputting the command for Spellcards while you're being sucked into the next bullets is one hell of a gamble already.
Was contemplating just programming my controller to input them automatically after my lack of input ability cost me my last run, but chose not to since it would have felt kind of lame.
Nonetheless, the switch to fighting games has been awesome so far. IaMP definitely has its fair share of flaws, but seeing me improve somewhat rapidly really is a pleasant experience.
Next one is Lunatic, then I'll move on to SWR!

Just a minor accomplishment, i managed just one death in stage 5 UFO Lunatic.

Not impressive by any means but I finally got a 1cc on TD Hard. I had 2 friends watching me and it made the moment that much sweeter, they were as excited as I was (If that's possible). It is hard to get my friends into Touhou but they seem to enjoy watching me play so that's fine by me, although it does make me a little more nervous.
I knew I had it going into Miko's last spell with 2 bombs/no lives and started visibly shaking according to them. Of course I bombed the last spell out, wasn't going to take any chances. My voice is a little horse from all the yelling and celebrating.
Now time for TD extra to go down. Onward forward!!

http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21458
1st Imperishable Night Hard 1CC. I really didn't practice hard for this or anything, I just decided to do it one day and this was my first try. So for Stage 3 and 4 you can really tell I had no idea what I was doing. And yet, somehow, I still won. Compared to EoSD, where I know the entire game rather well and I still had to try quite a few times to 1CC hard, IN is so much easier.
This was a few days ago, though, and I've been practicing IN stage 3 since then. I feel I know it pretty well now. Now I just need to learn Stage 4 and IN will be the second game I feel "satisfied" with in terms of knowing the game well.

Ten Desires 1cc'd on Lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21463)! This ended up being a lot more challenging than I thought it would be. I managed to get a good trance/no-death plan for the first three stages and began improvising once I started dying. Although I messed up a few simpler things (dying on Seiga's mid-card, not collecting enough spirits to trance the fairies at the end of Stage 5...), I still captured a few cards. Pretty happy with the final battle too, which I entered at 2/2. In the end I had just enough bomb fragments for one more bomb, which goes to show that every last 1/8 of a bomb counts in this game.
Thanks (again) to Zil for his advice in the help topic. I hadn't known that the upper corners were safer in Kyouko's first boss spell, so that was especially helpful :) I still timed out Seiga's first spell though.
I wonder if I can clear UFO on Hard now :V
-
After seven thousand lucky dodges and 222 attempts exactly, I did it.
Reimu NoFocus 120FPS Deflation World Capture (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21464)
Yes I did it with Reimu.
But I did it.
Also I know I TECHNICALLY did it with the border team but I didn't focus so it's essentially Reimu.
-
Bwah, I'm a killing machine! Just look at these top scores! (http://oi49.tinypic.com/335a0at.jpg)
Not to mention two more first round wins against Yumemi, and she didn't even damage me either time.
@Ridley: Glad the replay was helpful. That Kyouko trick is pretty funny. :V

Got Hatate up to 77/99, by clearing 1 from Suika, 1 from Orin, 2 from Utsuho, 1 from Satori, 2 from Byakuren and one of those was 12-5.
Wow, 12-5 is hard. I'm dreading 12-4 >.>
edit: now up to 83/99 by getting a couple from extra, as well as one of Suwako's and DNA's Flaw.

Unexpected Ten Desires hard mode 1cc! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21471)
I did a random 1cc attempt after not touching the game for a few weeks and ended up clearing it lol.
Try not to wince too much at any illogical trancing/bombing. I only worked on TD hard mode for about two days before dropping it so I could work on Lunatics instead. Because of that I didn't really know when I should have tranced or bombed for resources outside of a few random situations. :blush:
Now I can work on Lunatics without feeling like something is left unfinished. So long hard modes!
-
Yeah whatever. Listened to some good piano solos and now my mood is a lot better. Someone delete this post, it was full of moody shit anyway.
-
Turns out, all I had to do was sleep on it - Though I got to Bow of Yorimasa once yesterday, from then on my runs were dismal. Today, though?
UFO Extra Clear! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21476) Nue Houjuu defeated with the same dogged determination that I showed against Koishi.

NoFocus PCB Normal ReimuB 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21480)
Six lives remaining, captured Reflowering, derp derp derp, focused at a point without anything on screen so it doesn't matter, and broke a four month old high score.
Am I really getting that good at these games? :derp:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUCK IT NUE I WIN (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21481)
FINALLY. And as the many cherries on top, I ended with TWO SPARE LIVES, perfected a great portion of Nue's fight, used only one bomb, MESSED UP THE UFO PATTERN and still ended with more than zero lives, and made it to the last phase of Grudge Bow "Bow of Yorimasa Genzanmi" without bombing. That is a big accomplishment. I still fucking hate Undefined Darkness but ah, what can you do about that?
All that's left is that asshole Mamizou :V
-
Mystic Square 1cc.
Welp, that was to be expected, but it still took longer than I wanted.
Score of 65,000,000 too.
According to the breakdown at the end of the game it went 3m > 13m > 26m > 43m > 53m > 63m.
And now to fail at the Extra!

Congratulations guys! Especially Ridley with his lunatic 1CC. Though looking at your score (and 8/18 of a life left) i think you didn't tranced well enough :wat: But who cares! Try UFO hard now! ;)

I did it.
Subterranean Animism lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21490)
I count 3 derp deaths: BoWaP (I had no power though so meh), Venegful Cannibal Spirit (1 bomb left I think? Could have been worse since it was either that or attempt it and face the same result after), and Utsuho's 3rd nonspell (this one hurt. I had 3 bombs at the time.)
minor achievement since, 12-2 and 12-4 on back to back attempts with Hatate, then 7-1 and 8-7 a bit later. 90/99

Don't we have like ~5 players trying UFO Lunatic right now? Race, anyone?
-
I've got UFO, GFW and TD to go for lunatics.
I'm not touching UFO lunatic yet. At this point it's memorize chains, bomb everything.
Like TD, only with actual difficulty instead of incredibly easy to derp patterns.
GFW is probably the next one I'm going to go for.

Thanks! And yeah, there were some bumps along the way :V I missed two spirits in Stage 3 and completely messed up the fairies at the end of Stage 5, so I lost a lot of potential resources there. Fortunately I was still able to get by :) Not sure when I'll try UFO Hard again, but I got kind of close last time. I should have a decent chance if I'm better with my resources in Stage 5.
Subterranean Animism lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21490)
How was it? I have a few other 1ccs to get before even attempting this, but I'm still a bit worried :ohdear:
-

I don't really know, this was my first attempt that got past midboss Parsee without dying.
What I do know is it's a huge pain to not die through Stage 2, Parsee is easier than Yamame, Yuugi's lasers are pure evil but her other nonspells are fun, Satori's nonspells are evil, Stage 5 isn't as bad as it's cracked up to be (but it's still pretty bad), Stage 6 stage part is actually threatening and Utsuho is fine as long as you bomb every time anything remotely threatening comes your way.
Other than that I can't really give any specific advice/any overview of how evil it is. tbh I probably shouldn't have cleared due to all the 0 power dodging I did (most of Yuugi, 2nd Orin in S4, end of Subterranean Sun)
-
Just dropping by to say congratulations to I have no name for his Lunatic clear.
Great Fairy Wars is your next huh? Not terribly hard to clear but mighty fun still. Have a good time with it.
When you are done, just skip TD and go straight for UFO and don't bother with memorizing chains. Unless you are into the scoring you should just grab all the red UFO's you can and let that be that. To stringently follow a memorized path will just invite frustrations.

This just in-Zengeku's favorite sport is TD-bashing!
There's a few problems with what you're saying up there. "Skip TD" Bad idea. At my current skill level I can clear it (easily) if I could just. stop. DERPING. "don't bother memorizing" I'll tie this into "grab all the reds you can"-without memorizing chains/spawns, I'll die trying to get lives.
I'm probably just going to switch to greens in Stage 4 though-hopefully bombspamming is enough to clear, when I get to it.
Because UFO lunatic scares me and isn't fun.

I'll break 1 billion on Normal

Suwako has fallen, 11-2 in DS with Hatate down.

I finally finished 1ccing PCB on Normal with every shot type! :toot: It took longer than I expected; I blame the Prismriver Sisters for this.
(Damn you, Merlin. Damn youuuuu.)
Anyway: with that out of the way, it's onto Ran (and then Yukari) now I suppose. A test run with Reimu A got me as far as Princess Tenko, so this should be a fair bit easier than Flandre and Marisa methinks.
-
Alright...98/99 with Hatate.
10-4 is all that's left since I got 8-4, EX-5 and 10-5, in that order.
Iku...
you can go DIE IN A FIRE...
or I'll just beat you myself.
Either way, I'm almost there.

Improved TD Lunatic 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21514) I'm surprised how well this turned out to be. Then again, I went more nuts with trance and bombs.
And finished Double Spoiler with Aya and Hatate.
Alright...98/99 with Hatate.
10-4 is all that's left since I got 8-4, EX-5 and 10-5, in that order.
Funny since EX-5 and 10-5 and 10-4 were the last ones to clear with Hatate for me too. xD It's quite obvious that the game wasn't built around Hatate at all - 10-4 being the prime example aka be pixel perfect and do near-death shots or gtfo. Lol, that one made me nearly insane yesterday. =P At least I saved a couple of the nicer replays. :3
Oh and I managed to capture Mamizou's final spell for the first time. It's actually really easy if you keep changing the direction every time the frogs shoot at you. :V
-
IHNN: You have it backwards. TD isn't nearly as hard as you make it out to be, and I'm not even being subjective here. If anything, the reason I'm playing UFO and not TD is because UFO is fun and TD isn't, but hey, this is actually subjective! So yeah.
-
This just in-Zengeku's favorite sport is TD-bashing!
Good one. I laughed. :D Not entirely accurate though. It's not exclusive to TD. I just love bashing games in general. :V
"Skip TD" Bad idea. At my current skill level I can clear it (easily) if I could just. stop. DERPING.
That is actually the reason I suggested not doing TD first. I've plenty of experience with losing things through derps and I find it horrifyingly infuriating. I'd much rather die to something because it's hard and overwhelms me rather than something that isn't hard and have me derping because it's not engaging enough or whatever causes derps for you. If you are derping a lot on TD (happened on my clear too) then you should practice some more until you don't derp as much. Perfect stages and the like.
It's just my advice though, you of course just do as you please.
"don't bother memorizing" I'll tie this into "grab all the reds you can"-without memorizing chains/spawns, I'll die trying to get lives.
I'm probably just going to switch to greens in Stage 4 though-hopefully bombspamming is enough to clear, when I get to it.
If you feel that you need to memorize, by all means do so, though you should be prepared to improvise if an unexpected opportunity presents itself or if you mess up what you've learnt. Also, never abandon your runs no matter how much of a lost cause it might seem.
Because UFO lunatic scares me and isn't fun.
You know, it still scares me too. It's a brutal game. As I always say, have a few stabs at the stages every once in a while and you'll eventually feel confident in your ability to clear it.
*notices inability to play most of Double Spoiler past Level 8*
You do know what this means don't you?

Does it mean that he's better than me because I can't play level 8 at all?
-
To be fair, Level 8 is a massive fuckin difficulty spike.
Speaking of Level 8. WOO 8-4 90FPS GET
Two more scenes from Level 8 to go. And 29 to go in total.
And one of them is Cat's Random Walk....
Fuck.

Through experience, this doesn't mean you can, in actuality, clear it. :V
I'm pretty sure I'm confident enough in my ability to clear UFO, but then consistency is a thing.
