Miscellaneous accomplishments:
All routes/shot types 1cc'd in SoEW, LLS, EoSD, PCB, IN, and GFW.

I have to say, I love the thread title.
This time around I'm keeping my achievements pasta to the actually noteworthy stuff, so less tl;dr.
In no particular order...
- PCB Extra perfect run
- MB Normal perfect run
- StB 90FPS all clear
Timeouts:
- Mountain of Faith (Easy)
- Charming Siege from All Sides
- Iwafune Ascending to Heaven
- Sumizome Perfect Blossom (Normal)
- Game of Rising
- Eight Million Great Rosaries of Tears
- TAO Taidao ~Dao~
- Wild Carpet
- Double Death Butterfly
- Full Starboard on a Burning Ship
Bunch of other stuff too, but last time was enough tl;dr and I've done quite a bit since then, so yeah... :yukkuri:
-
I just timed out Phoenix's Tail. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgFtZnbPKyg) Only took me 692 tries...damnit, Mokou.
Oh yeah, did I mention this was at 90 FPS?
EDIT: Oh whoops. Completely forgot I just posted. I am a derp.
-
I used to be scared of Touhou 7 PCB on Lunatic, so much that I didn't attempt it for months after I beat the game on hard. But now that I sat down to focus on it, and I researched more about how the game worked, I felt I could give it a good shot.
And hell, I'm seriously surprised just how simple this game becomes once you know how to time and get borders etc.
1cc of Touhou 7, PCB on Lunatic with SakuyaB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22767)
Actually thought I would be grinding this game for several days or so, but on my 3rd try, and by the end of stage 6, I realised just how powerful SakuyaB's bomb on Lunatic was.
It shouldn't take too long to 1cc Touhou 9 on Lunatic, I'll probably use Cirno again because she is the strongest!
And then... only Touhou 12 and 13 left on Lunatic.
*Edit: And a short while later, 1cc of Touhou 9 on Lunatic done (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22773)!
Cirno is the strongest! :D
-
IN:222/222 spells captured, Hard 1cc
Don't you need a lunatic 1cc to have unlocked all of 6B's cards?
-
Continues, Seiga :]

You can't continue on or into 6B.

I was under the impression Cirno was a Bad Character, but apparently she kills Shiki better than Reisen does. ... 1:30 as opposed to 2:00 is a mammoth of a difference. .______.

My Marisa clear had the final round go for 2:06. I'd seen a round reach 2:30 before though :ohdear:

I've always used Cirno and found she's the stttoonnggesst a pretty decent shottype with a good speed and really nice scope. I have problems with using quite a few of the other shottypes :ohdear:

My Marisa clear had the final round go for 2:06. I'd seen a round reach 2:30 before though :ohdear:
My Shiki battles usually take up to 2:00 for her to reach her final hit. I raged about a 2:41 failure a week ago or two. :D
And no, I'm not doing anything "wrong" afaik. Maybe I'll try Cirno...

Just had... a 2:38... with Marisa.

Marine Benefit Lunatic 1CC.
You wouldn't know from the resources left, but I really do think this was my hardest Lunatic yet. Or at least, the one I spent by far the most time on.
And getting my first ever capture of Dance of the Stars (Megumi's second boss card) during that run was just the icing on the cake.
-
The second card is the one with the micro hitboxes, right? Good job! MB is hard.
-
And getting my first ever capture of Dance of the Stars (Megumi's second boss card) during that run was just the icing on the cake.

Congrats! Haven't done that one yet, but never really tried either. I should get on that someday.

Best six million points I've ever earned.
Didn't notice the double post, but if a mod wants to take away my victory combine the two I wouldn't care.
-
New thread huh?
Alright. Hold on;
- Lunatic 1cc's of LLS, EoSD, PCB, IN, PoFV, MoF, SA, UFO, GFW Routes A1, A2 and B1 and of course Ten Desires.
- Extra clears: All outside of PoFV and SoEW.
- Other than that I got some cool time outs including SFN, VoWG or Unseasonable Butterfly Storm. A 1 billion score in MoF Lunatic and various perfect boss battles. Still missing Byakuren, Kaguya, Eirin and Remilia. Oh and Miko and Futo why not. Other than those I should have perfects of all Lunatic bosses in the windows series.
Pretty burnt out here. I haven't got much reason to play shmup until either A; I get a hold of Mushihimesama again or B: ZUN makes a game similar to UFO in terms of difficulty.

Accomplishment list? Lunatic 1ccs of all standard shooters in the series (except SoEW) + GFW and HRtP, all Extra clears (including PoFV), NDNB UFO Extra, MoF Hard no-death 1cc, and various random scoring attempts (the one I'm most proud of currently is probably MoF Easy ReimuA 1.3 billion, though reaching A2 million in MS Normal is also up there). That sounds about right.
Anyway, captured almost every SA Hard card I hadn't captured already (with the exception of Satori's non-ReimuA cards, I'll get around to them later) in the same full run. Still missing Double Black Death Butterfly for some reason, though, even after attempting it various times in stage practice afterward...
-
Hmm, my past accomplishments consist of:
EoSD: Normal 1cc with ReimuB
PCB: Normal 1cc with ReimuB + Extra & Phantasm clears
IN: Hard 1cc with Youmu&Yuyu and Reimu solo, Extra cleared with Reimu&Yukari, Marisa&Alice and a few with Youmu&Yuyu. [ur=http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/2719/th074.pngl]All spells cleared except 205 & 222 with Youmu&Yuyu[/url] (except the 6B Lunatics cause I can't even get to Final B). And Fujiyama Volcano 90 fps no focus timeout with Youmu&Yuyu.
MoF: Normal 1cc with whichever Reimu has the needle shot
SA: Normal 1cc with Reimu&Yukari
UFO: Stage 4 boss on Normal with Reimu (needle shot) and Sanae B. Can't do it >_>
Haven't even started StB, DS or TD yet.
So, jack crap :fail:

It's been awhile folks, though I haven't done a whole lot concerning Touhou, aside a few fangames. And it's time for another list, eh?
SoEW: Hard Clear, Extra clear
LLS: Hard Clear, Extra Clear
MS: Hard Clear
EoSD: Hard Clear (Lunatic attempts up until Scarlet Gensokyo), Extra clear
PCB: Lunatic Clear, Extra & Phantasm Clear
IN: Hard Clear, Extra Clear
PoFV: Lunatic Clear (Youmu, Reimu, Aya, Medicine), Extra Clear
StB: all clear (and suffering under Ultra)
MoF: Hard Clear (Lunatic attempts up until VoWG), Extra Clear
SA: Hard Clear
UFO: Normal Clear (Hard attempts up to Byakuren)
GFW: Lunatic Clear of A1, A2, B1 (...and a quick look at the second and third stage bossfight in B2 reveals that this adventure hasn't even started yet), Extra Clear
DS: all clear
TD: Hard clear, Extra Clear
+ various timeouts (most notable: SFN no-focus with Reimu)
* bold = new
Not a lot has changed as I'm having trouble motivating myself to actually play any of the "conventional" games, so I'm kinda limited to PoFV and GFW right now.
-
EoSD: Lunatic Clear, Extra NDNB
PCB: Hard Clear, Extra NDNBNBB, Phantasm NDNBNBB
IN: Lunatic Clear, Extra ND
MoF: Lunatic Clear, Extra NDNB

Perfect stage 3 EoSD, very fun.

You can't continue on or into 6B.
Em, can't you continue while you're already in 6B... that is, you already made it past Stage 5 and made your choice, but you lose your last life during stage 6B, and the continue doesn't make you reach 5:00
I was under the impression Cirno was a Bad Character, but apparently she kills Shiki better than Reisen does. ... 1:30 as opposed to 2:00 is a mammoth of a difference. .______.
Cirno is better than Reisen at hitting the AI (when it's still trying to dodge, not when it decides to get hit), because Cirno is in the "rarely" category while Reisen is in "never" category. But I kind of doubt that's it because it's a hit like every 10 minutes with Cirno, he probably just got lucky
-
Em, can't you continue while you're already in 6B... that is, you already made it past Stage 5 and made your choice, but you lose your last life during stage 6B, and the continue doesn't make you reach 5:00
Nope-running out of lives in 6B is an automatic bad ending.
-
Don't you need a lunatic 1cc to have unlocked all of 6B's cards?
Oh, I didn't knew that you could delete your progress when I started playing touhou, and my score.dat already had some cards cleared and a lunatic 1cc with Magic Team, and when I discovered about the score.dat thing, I didn't want to delete my progress because I already had captured some spells. I still went and re-cleared the ones that were already cleared, though.
-
Just had a run of lunatic Kaguya where I failed only Buddhist Diamond, Life Spring Infinity and Hourai Jewel (the latter 2 because derp).
I got Dragon's Necklace and the third nonspell in the same run though O.O

PCB Ultra-Extra Clear! (Without automatic deathbombs)
Honestly this is a good accomplishment.
I pulled quite a bit of failure, such as Kokkuri-San's Contract, Princess Tenko, and Shikigami "Chen".
BUT
I captured Chen's midboss nonspell and a good bit of Ran's doable cards.

(In acronym form because that's the cool thing these days and totally isn't confusing.)
PODDALCNMUFONFBBSSNBB1LPCBNMND fuck it
Chiyuri run. That's the coolest thing I've done.
And hey Cirno is a kick-ass character. Probably the second best scoring potential in the game (behind Eiki) and you can last forever without having to dodge anything thanks to her freezing effect. I might go so far as to call her ~broken~ but maybe that's a bit of an overstatement. If Aya, Medi, and Eiki didn't exist I'd call Cirno broken for sure, comparing her to everyone else who isn't those three.

Very nice. A lot of the dodging was fantastic. The only real problem was that you tended to use your resources poorly; I saw a lot of unused bombs, and bombs used immediately after dying for some reason.
That being said, holy crap Resurrection Butterfly.
Oh, and PS: you might want to rewatch Stage 2, near the beginning. There was a dodge in there that I had to watch multiple times to see what even happened. You might want to submit that to the luck thread. :3
-
Who are you going to perfect next? Because once you start you can't stop :evil:
I'm well aware of that already. Some stage will probably come to me in a few days.
Speaking of which, would some kind soul be willing to record it (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22776) for me? Had a friend do my others, but he's sick of doing them for me. <_<

Yeah, I know I died with bombs available. I probably should've paid a bit more attention. I admittedly have a little trouble seeing right in front of Reimu when shooting focused sometimes. Bombing right after dying is kind of my way for venting, I guess. :blush:
Thanks for pointing out that epic dodge early in Stage 2. I didn't realize that happened until I just say your post, and thanks again for the compliment. :toot:
-
Reached a x4 multiplier in SA (Hard, ReimuA, exact graze count 31114 if anyone's curious). It could have been much higher if I suicided for bombs against Parsee, but judging from the world record runs, dying to Parsee only seems to be worth it on Lunatic.

Ephemerality 137 timeout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpNPwPUpqYE).
It took me exactly 137 tries, which I realized while recording, much to my amusement.

[Edit: yes, I consider that an accomplishment since I don't expect it to happen again]
Got tense after that, haha. Getting better at the stage and Patchy too and being a lot less pissed at it all. Nearly capped Counter Clock, Catadioptric and got to 15-ish seconds on the survival card before losing my last life (those 3 on a different run).
Still can't do Royal Flare though ::)

Figure I won't be editing/posting anything more now until I actually manage to clear the Extra.
-
now do Thousand Needle Mountain >_> <_<
Lol wow, this is the fourth request I've gotten today. New record get!
In seriousness: can't do non-extra EoSD stuff yet, I haven't cleared EoSD Lunatic and not really in the mood to continuespam. Plus I have like no experience with EoSD whatsoever, to the point where I haven't even cleared Hard yet. So it's not likely to happen for a while.
-
Just do what you think is fun imo.

1cc Dim Dream easy.
(http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae145/Sanger_Z/1ccPhantasDimdream.jpg)
I actually didn't know it was set to easy by default, was just going for a normal run.
Shame the android she got was useless.
First 1cc so far! No Extra stage in this game, so on to 4.
-
Did really play not much Touhou for some time now...That's gotta change! :blush:
So, not many changes from last thread.
Anyway, my achievements until now:
1cc'd every Windows game on Easy with all shottypes(except GFW, including PoFV)
1cc'd with all shottypes on Normal: EoSD, PCB, IN.
1cc MoF Normal with all Reimu shottypes and MarisaA
Cleared EoSD Extra.
StB Level 3 completely cleared and some scenes from Level 4
Currently trying to 1cc MoF Normal with the 2 other shottypes and clear PCB Extra.
-
ReimuB EoSD Hard 1CC. Out of the 5 shottypes, only ReimuA left! Forgot to save replay, which is a shame because I had some crazy dodging on Sakuya's second nonspell (best attack ever)
Also: finished clearing Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana with all 12 shottypes. Final count was 1208 attempts - so the average per character is a bit over 100. Solo Yuyuko took the most tries, 230 - and I could've gotten it with much less but I died with a sliver of health like 10 times, I guess Yuyuko didn't want to defeat herself.
The second-to-last day was best - something clicked and I beat it with Solo Reimu in 4 tries and Solo Sakuya in 3. But the next day it was gone and I was back to being bad :(

Just 1cc Lotus Land Story, Yuuka had some awesome animations. (http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae145/Sanger_Z/30dhxk3.gif)
Took quite a few tries, but very happy with this one.
The extra stage last thing to do before moving on to 5, hopefully it doesn't give me too much trouble, first extra stage.

My first Extra Stage clear - Ran:
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22799
Before the run, I was aware that the clear was well within my reach if only I could get rid of my habit of losing most of my resources during things like Ultimate Buddhist, Shikigami "Chen", or Ran's later nonspells. With this important lesson in mind, I went on to lose a total of two lives and something like eight bombs on Ultimate Buddhist and Shikigami "Chen". I was even going to ragequit right after Ultimate Buddhist, but fortunately managed to contain my anger and eventually cleared the stage with a whole extra life in reserve (well, I lost it as Ran was dying, but whatever).
-
Harder than all of the Windows extras. Good luck <_<
I-I just can't beat it....I tried 100+ times, beat Mugetsu my on 70th or so try and started to celebrate "This isn't even my final form" (http://www.dustloop.com/forums/images/smilies/custom/vbang.gif)

Oh yeah, LLS Extra is balls difficult. You're better off shooting for PCB or MoF Extra if you haven't done one before ._.

I almost beat LLS extra blind. Failed to the last phase :V
Haven't come close since.
-

The sad part is I have to do that shit while talking and I still haven't done it because of one phase that I've forgotten how to do :qq:

Second-last for me. Same situation otherwise.
-
Timed out Ephemerality 137 as well. I didn't really think it was feasible to do until I saw that Malkyrian had done it. That compelled me to go and do it myself and I almost got it on my 2nd attempt but i unfortunately died really stupidly following what was a seriously epic attempt. I got it on my 9th attempt but that attempt wasn't half as badass.
-
Was starting to think I was just absolutely horrible at Touhou, but good to know it's not just me. :derp:
If I could just use focus in this game, I would have a way easier time with everything, I only die to Mugetsu's last phase because I can't correctly move through it without focus.
Dunno if I want to still finish this later or move on to Mystic Square.
-
LLS has focus though.
In other news, consistency at the EoSD stage 5 lunatic wallfairies is a thing.
and so is some degree of consistency when dodging Killing Doll.
-
Everyone in this thread is insane. LLS Extra is BY FAR the easiest. Gengetsu is identical to that fairy at the start of UFO stage 3. She just shoots 30 waves instead of one.
-

But she has more than just that grazemilk phase, particularly the crap that comes afterwards. <_<

!
It does, so I did no focus 1cc by mistake. :3
I didn't realize after playing 2 and 3, which had no focus, so I thought all 98 games had none. Looks like I'm beating this Extra stage later.
-
But she has more than just that grazemilk phase, particularly the crap that comes afterwards. <_<
Like what? Everything is either simple dodging (compared to any other EX boss), streaming, or safespots. I'd really love to hear what people have a hard time with against her.
-
We're not all 90 FPS lunatic 1ccers you know :V
-
I think LLS extra is the easiest because it gives you 8 lives :)
The patterns are a different style than later touhous, but you just have to get used to it
-
1cc of Touhou 13 on Lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22802), YES!
Ahhh, I still feel crazy great after beating it! :D
Just one windows game left to beat on Lunatic... Touhou 12... I'm all fired up!! >:( Yeaah!!

I feel happy for you, for clearing another lunatic, probably the one that I'll save for second last also.
Yet I also feel pity, because now the only thing left for you to conquer is UFO. <_<
-
Oh, Ephemerality 137 isn't that bad. I timed it out around two months ago when I timed out NF Asteriod Belt, and it didn't take that long at all. NF Ephemerality is something I want to see done, though. :3
Thousand Needle Moutain... doable, but I'd have no way of saving a replay.
Congrats on all the recent 1ccs, Nindella. Maybe I'll have JUST about motivation to TRY TD some more. :D
-
Gengetsu isn't the easiest Extra boss, but she's nowhere near the hardest either. The hardest to clear, for me, was Evil Eye Sigma (due to low resources, hitboxes, and lack of focus), followed by Marisa, followed by Flandre (who I now find one of the easiest Extra bosses, it was probably low resources again) and Koishi.
And Touhou 12 is the last Lunatic for nearly everyone, isn't it?
-
Only if you have tolerance for all the others.
-
We're not all 90 FPS lunatic 1ccers you know :V
And it's arbitrary, since I'm comparing Gengetsu to other Extra Bosses. She may not be outright "easy," but she's "easy compared to the others." And because I think anyone saying that she's one of the hardest is an affront to all of the others, (and because nobody mentioned an attack that stands out as highly difficult), I'm going to look at each attack she does and point out why she doesn't compare.
Mugetsu - I'd say she's the hardest part of the stage. The fast blue bullets are aimed at you, so you can dodge by moving an inch, but there's other crap flying around, so it's not so easy. A bombspam here is ok.
Gengetsu's first phase - The bullets are fast, mainly the pink ones. Again, this is probably on the level of other bosses later attacks, so you can get beat up by it and use bombs.
Second phase - Pure streaming. If she's on the right side, you start under her and stream to the right wall. The bouncing bullets may as well not exist. If she's on the left, just stream to the left. If she's in the middle, either side is safe.
Third phase - The pink bullets automatically miss. Stand still then move a bit to dodge the aimed blue ones. The cloud of pellets is also aimed so just move another inch. (You could probably do this whole phase with your eyes closed if you memorize the timing.)
Fourth phase - The blue wave is static. Stand directly under her upraised hand, and she fires a formation like this:
X X
X X
X
X X
X X
The X's represent bullets of course. The middle is fired straight down (right at you) so just move to the side, then right back to where you were. Then she does the laser thing. Don't stand under her because she fires a big laser. Just stand between two of the vertical lines and sit there. She fires a few aimed shots after the laser so just move up a slight bit.
Fifth phase - God help us it's random. Nothing any other Extra boss doesn't have (Froggy, Grudge Bow, BoLaD, etc.)
Final - The hardest thing she does I guess, (but Mugetsu's still harder IMO). Bombspam if needed.
So whatever. I think everything but the first and last phases are pretty damn non-threatening compared to other Extra spells. Combined with lots of resources to strongarm through the hard stuff, I think she really falls short compared to all of the other Extra bosses.
-
But she places first in style. ;D

What about the stage?
I just tried,had 3/2 going into the last survival part, died there because spawn on top of me, then game overed. To the timeout phase of the first attack.
This is far from the easiest extra stage, Gengetsu herself might be on the easy side for bosses but the stage part and this attack prevent you from having anything to get to the easy part.

The stage, with one exception, is highly memorizable. The pre-boss spam looks intimidating, but it's actually very predictable if you can see past its flashiness.
And it's fine to think Gengetsu is easy; just don't try and time her out. :3
-
The thing is not to locate the hardest extra boss, but the one you find the most entertaining.
Also PC-98's lose a lot in style, since the engine is... well, not that good. Compared to some windows cards which are really beautiful, PC-98 has some crude hitboxes and melding backgrounds. It is not that much focused on beauty than to killing you, much like a lot of other shmups.
I did like the way Yumemi's crosses look like, they were the most beautiful thing in PC-98 for me.

SA Hard Ultra Clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22806)
After failing again at stage 5 in SA lunatic ultra, I wanted to see how hard was Hard Ultra.
I easily cleared it on my first try, with some lives to spare too. And with horrible mistakes to stage 5 :V
ghost wheels never again
-
>NB NF EoSD Lunatic Stage 6 practice.
>Death by two failures to the three phase non-spell. NO SURPRISE.
I did manage to capture the third spell and perfect the entire stage portion (hint eternal meek hint), though! :)
-
Fifth phase - God help us it's random.
D:
Posting in this thread to remind myself to check back for more of Zil regulating this bitch.
Also, I captured a spell card.
-
Because I got kinda pissed over how badly I fared on LLS Extra, I decided to come back a few hours later when I had cooled my head and gave it another go. I used safestates to get everything down and it took pretty much no time to nail all of the attacks in the game. Gengetsu had two attacks that took one attempt to work out and the rest fell quite easily. Imagine that.
It helps when you get more accustomed to the controls, hitbox and stuff so that you don't die on easy dodging. I also spent some time figuring out how to handle the end stage bit so that shouldn't offer too much trouble from now on. Now watch as I'll start complaining about how there is no good Reimu in this game. Not that that became a standard before EoSD.
Seriously, wide shot takes forever to kill things and search shot is well... it's homing which is reason enough not to like it. Maybe I should go perfect that Extra stage. Shouldn't be too bad to do.
-
No good Reimu in LLS? LLS ReimuA seems slightly overpowered to me. Probably because it was the first homing Reimu shot and ZUN hadn't yet decided to weaken it to compensate for the, well, homing.
-
Huh. Let's be honest here then: I didn't actually test her but as soon as I saw that she had search and wide options I assumed that homing would be bad so I tried out wide which was good for the stage but bad for bosses since everything takes forever to kill with her.
If search shot is truly powerful though I might use that then. I prefer shots that are straight forward and powerful but I don't like using Marisa (even though I did practice some Illusion laser Marisa and she seemed to be pretty neat but I don't like how the laser keeps turning on and off. I'd like a consistent and constant damage output from it but that's only a minor complaint. I'm fine with using her for Extra.
-
I finally beat Mamizou!
Ugh, the animated bullets + bomb really slowed down the game though - 5.1% slow
Also, I beat TD on normal no deaths.
That run also happened to be my first try because I'm a perfectionist.

I ALSO beat Mamizou.

Timed out EX Kogasa's first card. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TW9Dny5TTiE)
Inexplicably took me only one try, which consisted of wall to wall "if I wasn't Reimu I'd be so dead right now".
Also lasted 40 seconds into Guerilla Typhoon. Not going to try it again, because my eyes didn't recover until Danmaku Chimera.
-
The above inspired me to try pacifying the stage portion. ... ^_^ That didn't go so well. At least I perfectly pacified everything before Kogasa (NF until the part with the UFO fairies... that's kind of hard to do NF).
Guerilla Typhoon should be easier than her first card. Well, at least that's how it is for me, anyway.
-
Pretty much perfected Gengetsu. One death on the streaming phase. I dunno what went wrong there. :V Still, progress! Now to perfect both the stage, Mugetsu and Gengetsu all in one run. Will likely take some time before I get that done. I'll also have to find out how to record PC98. Heard there's some issues with that.
EDIT: Guerilla Typhoon timeout. Essentially no-focus too. I don't think that makes it a whole lot harder though. 2 attempts btw. Also got an almost Perfect Nue with the only miss being on Snake Show.
Yes I'm serious. It's only been two hours since I woke up from my sleep so that might've had something to do with it.
EDIT: Video of Guerilla Typhoon + Ephemerality 137 because why not (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yk93RtJdVA)

I caught another Lunatic Spell. This time it's Reimu's Border World "Hakurei Danmaku Bounded Field". :toot:

Milky Way timeout:

I really hate this spell, so timing it out was rather satisfying.
-
Guerilla Typhoon should be easier than her first card. Well, at least that's how it is for me, anyway.
It should be, in theory. In practice, trying to follow the bullets in fullscreen just melts my eyes. I physically cannot follow the card after 30 seconds or so; that I lasted ten more was pretty much dumb luck.
Plus I don't play UFO often to begin with, since I'm one of those people who think the UFO system is fundamentally broken beyond repair. I should not be entering Nue with a 2/3 stock when my only death was on Guerilla Typhoon, ffs.
EDIT: Actual accomplishment!
Timed out Archimedes' Pump (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXgOQODhkTY), aka Naruko's bullshit waves card on Hard.
For those who haven't tried Marine Benefit Hard, this thing has no right at all to not be on Lunatic. Harder than the Lunatic version and overwhelmingly the hardest thing in MB Hard. And on Stage 2, of all places.
-

TD Extra Clear! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He3VENui2YI)
Thank you Malkyrian for recording this for me.
The spells I did not capture were Monstrous School, Wild Deserted Island, and Stupid Miko's False Exorcism. The only nonspell I didn't capture, I died to in an incredibly stupid way that also took away the ability to call this a NoDeath run. :colonveeplusalpha:
-
went back to PCB today, decided to do an extra run out of nowhere just now and whaddaya know, cleared on the first shot with a fairly good end stock of 4/4(using sakuya, I count like probably max 3 bombs used all game?) which could have been 5/5 if a bullet in Descent of Izuna Gongen didn't decide to clip me after my bomb D: (and this time I actually tried to not use the safespot, got down to about less than an inch of HP left before I bombed)
Good to know I've still got some skill here :V may not compare as well to all of you xD but my friends don't even hold a candle up to me

Just one more run before the Olympics... One more...
(http://i.imgur.com/jYEMJ.jpg)
AND BOOM! SA Lunatic 1cced! Two deaths to Ten Evil Stars? I don't care because I finally did it! Definitely took the longest out of all the Lunatics I've attempted thus far. Honestly, Okuu is a ridiculously easy final boss, all things considered. The biggest hindrances to a 1cc for SA are Satori and Orin lol. In the end, I just cheesed the hell out of Orin with tons of bombs :V. But whatever! It's done! Yay!
EoSD, I have my eye on you...
-
Well, I just cleared EoSD Extra for the first time. 10 captures, 1 death-bomb and 3 deaths.
http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/3850/eosdexclear.png
(it says 4 deaths but apparently death-bombs count towards that)
Was perfect up until Catadioptric where I had my first death. Then I death-bombed at 02 seconds remaining on the survival and then had 2 deaths to Q.E.D.
I'm quite happy with it despite the terrible score but I think I'll try to go for a better run. Would like no bombs and 12 captures. Though now that I've cleared it I don't think it'll happen.
Replay, because why not?: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22833

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpYVbk5F7Q8
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22843
Nothing else to see really, on the same run I proceeded to fail a timeout of Laevateinn with one death close to the beginning cause I forgot how the laser and bullets work. And after that failed to timeout Four of a Kind with a death about halfway and then at the exact moment it ended. Lost my last life during Kagome, Kagome at 26 seconds left. Don't care too much though, I got what I wanted from it.

Futo's second spell card timeout on lunatic + stay over Futo challenge (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22858). Favourite spell card from TD by far. I also made a capture of Nue's second while staying above her to see how it was (needed 50 tries to do it :ohdear:).

So i've just 1CCd SA normal (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22857)... With Marisa B, using water sign only, cause it's the most useful one. Ended 0/2 because of not enough Utsuho practice >_< Other than that it went pretty good. Gotta go for no bombs run soon.

First time seeing QED, so I kinda bombspammed the end.
Also a first capture of Maze of Love (with outrageous luck at micrododging).
I'm quite surprised this stage came down so quickly, but I won't complain.
Thanks to JC for the tips (and Sapz for the perfect clear video on Youtube), it helped a lot.
Only PCB extra left of all the ones I have unlocked (oh God why... :fail: ).

Played a fun run of TD Stage 6, 2DNBed the stage, with deaths at 2nd nonspell and NDS, two things I usually capture. Why did I go for Eirin and Kanako before this one? <_<
Sinkable Vortex capture as well. Surprisingly easy if you make an effort to stay under her all the time.

Just managed a Normal 1cc of Marine Benefit on a completely blind run (except for stage 1)! :D
I recorded everything which includes my reactions and commentary in a blind let's play, so I'll be uploading that shortly (depending on how long Youtube takes to upload ect!)!
I had alot of silly moments but I'm very satisfied that I managed to clear it at least! With the talk I'm reading it seems like it gets quite a bit harder on Hard and Lunatic, so I'd like to see what that's like when I get to it! :3
Also, I'll probably make a thread here for my Let's Play series which I started a bit ago, if this is the right place to put it I guess :wat: So please check it out when it's made! (shameless advertising) :derp:
-
Perfect PCB stage 3. I think Alice is easier than Keine and Meiling.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcBBSryb02A
That makes three Lunatic stage 3 perfects (after Touhou 5 and 6, the latter unrecorded), and five (also Keine and Ichirin) that I've perfected the boss portion of.

Yaobi Special Performance "Dance of the Stars" timeout. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsfLjsbP0AM)
Probably the hardest card in Marine Benefit Lunatic. I can't believe I actually did it.

Perfect PCB stage 3.
Congrats! Knew you would get it eventually. Alice is fun. >_>Yaobi Special Performance "Dance of the Stars" timeout. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsfLjsbP0AM)
I used to think this card was easy. Then I actually played the game.
I think I said that before about another one of her cards, but it's also true here. What's your next goal?
-
Yaobi Special Performance "Dance of the Stars" timeout. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsfLjsbP0AM)
Probably the hardest card in Marine Benefit Lunatic. I can't believe I actually did it.
>_> I find any other of her cards harder. It's a hard card, but she's a ridiculous boss.
I GUESS as a timeout, though, because I keep timing out the first and third cards. Her last card is ridiculous memoshit and I refuse to learn that, though.
I think Akyu's Arcade is the place for that, not Help Me Eirin.
A series of the games is better off here.

2DNB VoWG Timeout.

EoSD Lunatic 3CC.
Wouldn't be an accomplishment if not for holy crap the fight against Remilia. Entered with a stock of 1/4, didn't get any extends during the fight, and didn't need any further continues. I think I lost more resources to MEILING than I did to Remilia. Including a Young Demon Lord capture and a 0D1B Scarlet Gensokyo.

NDNB Ten Desires Stage 5 (Normal mode):
http://youtu.be/dJFYy8NNlpA
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22876
Easy for a Stage 5... actually, I even think the TD Stage 4 boss fight is harder than this stage. I only tranced in the stage portion because I think there's something wrong with my key config and focusing automatically makes me trance when the meter is full. It shouldn't do that, right? Trance and focus are definitely NOT assigned to the same key in the options...
-
Perfected MB Lunatic stage 3. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HTw1ZDVfZc)
Someone requested it, it seemed like "okay, that seems reasonable"...didn't quite turn out that way.
Perfecting full stages in MB is nightmarish. Even with it being just stage 3...ugh. Way too many attempts.
-
I finally captured Genetics!
and Embers of Love!
and had a 4DNB Koishi!
said deaths were to Rorschach (best performance on it yet >.>), Subterranean Rose x3. THREE DEATHS TO SUBTERRANEAN ROSE (though, 1 of them was due to microlag). I can totally perfect this fight...but do I want to try to...

That's TD Hard 1CC for me nao :3
Let's see my list...
Easy: N/A Because I've been too lazy to do them as of yet
Normal: EoSD, PCB, IN, PoFV, MoF, SA, UFO, TD
Hard: EoSD, PCB, IN, MoF, TD
Lunatic: N/A Because I'm not worthy yet
Extra: EoSD, PCB(plus Phantasm), IN, MoF, SA, UFO, TD
well, I'm getting closer and closer :3
EDIT: Replay if anyone wants? :V (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22900)
-
1DNB Nue outside of Grudge Bow. Death was to the 3rd nonspell. I think I can perfect this extra stage too.
I game overed to Grudge Bow though, due to a 2D Guerrilla Typhoon and a 2B Surprising Slash. Perfected both stage parts though.
-
Hey there people, long time no see!
I just captured Scarlet Meister(lunatic) for the first-and only- time. Shame it was a run in which I had previously continued.
I also discovered a bug,kind of, while trying to timeout Scarlet Gensokyo,during the same run. If the spell ends by timeout
while a bomb is going off, Remilia sits around in bat form for around 1-2 minutes doing nothing.
But I believe someone already knew about it, since it's too easy to (re)produce.
-
She's in bat form because of your bomb, yes. It's the sort of immunity most final spells have. I'm pretty sure it's nothing special. You're talking about something else completely. Nevermind.
Enjoy that lone capture of Scarlet Meister. I still have my lone capture. :/
-

Likewise, though mine had only 3 seconds left (nearly a timeout) in roughly 20 times seeing the card.
I'm wondering which extra I should try to perfect next, or if I should continue beating my head against Sakuya. I've had more than enough 1DNB fights with her >.>
My consistency at all this hard things is the accomplishment :V
-
Back from my vacation, hurray! Spent my time doing something productive, NDNB runs of all first stages as well as EoSD Stage 2. I suppose that's a start. Also cleared Easy on all shottypes in all games minus IN and PoFV, those will take a little longer on each difficulty I guess.

Ayaya, good luck if you continue after her. Sakuya is brutal and unforgiving. Do you know the best way to handle Killing Doll, at least?
-

The strange thing is, I had never even dodged more than one wave of that spell. I think that not playing Touhou/any shmup for 7-8 days
does help sometimes.
-

There's a way to handle Killing Doll that doesn't involve RNGcrap?
-
There's a way to handle Killing Doll that doesn't involve RNGcrap?
Sort of. There are two sets of knives fired during Killing Doll's set-up; blue and red. The blue are spread all around, while the red are aimed specifically at you. Every other wave it seems, the red knives don't change their trajectory at all when Sakuya mixes the knives around, so standing where they are being aimed is a guaranteed deathtrap. So basically, don't stay in one place, but bounce between two or three spots on the screen.
-
By virtue of a brand new high-end laptop, some DirectX fiddling and a makeshift key remapper, I had removed an hour ago all lag spikes and stuck keys from my Touhou experience.
Well, turns out I'm better at Touhou than my past results indicate. For when I fired up UFO for the very first time on the laptop and made the twenthy-third attempt at a 1cc, I actually reached stage 6. For comparison: in the past I could just hope to make it to Shou's first spell in case of extreme luck.
I am quite satisfied. And as my post once again reveals, in a pretty braggy mood.

Although I'm not on the level of even witnessing Killing Doll, that still seems like pretty much random dodging.

Yep >.<
At least the nonspells only kill me now when they wall me. Likewise for her first 2 spells.
-

Not having seriously played EoSD for a few months, all I remembered about her is that she has really low spellcard health, so I always assumed she was pretty easy.
Then I remembered what her spellcards were. <_<
Keep at it, you're bound to do everything right at once sometime. I hope you're recording, I like watching perfect EoSD stuff but it's so rare for obvious reasons. :/
-
I'm going to stream further attempts in roughly 20 minutes. Hopefully I'll get it.
The problem with Sakuya is that you're facing a Max Rank Killing Doll when everything is done right.
:(
Actually with good movement RNG you can face it below max rank with MarisaA. But you need 1.5 cycle nonspells, 1.3 cycle Jack the Ludo Bile, and a 1 cycle The World.
-

-
You'd be amazed how much of getting good at a card is eliminating all the factors that keep your deaths from being due to "simple random dodging." :V Knowing how standing in one place would guarantee me a death was the difference between failing a Sakuya perfect at Killing Doll and clearing it the second try after realizing this fact.
Oh, and also, THERE ARE NO BULLET WALLS. THE ONLY WALLS ARE IN YOUR MIND. IT'S UP TO YOU! YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU!
-
Oh, and also, THERE ARE NO BULLET WALLS. THE ONLY WALLS ARE IN YOUR MIND. IT'S UP TO YOU! YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU!
On a related note, I got a bit more confident with EX-7 and decided to try pass all 4 walls, and managed to do so 5 times in short succession (not 5 times in the same attempt or anything, mind you...). This means EX-7 can most likely see a pretty big improvement (several seconds) in the speedrunning department if a runner is willing to put up with RNG of getting Reimu to spawn from the favorable side of the screen at the beginning of the crucial attack cycle. I'll try it for a bit more.
-
Oh, and also, THERE ARE NO BULLET WALLS. THE ONLY WALLS ARE IN YOUR MIND. IT'S UP TO YOU! YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU!
I had a solid wall of bubbles covering the entire screen on Sakuya's first spell once.
-
Those bubbles are a dick move; the knives make clusters really damn hard to identify. Not to mention, these are EoSD bubbles.

StB 5-6 pacifist timeout gogogo
Obviously, the photography games are an exception. ::) Even so, I've dodged through those walls before to prove that line of thought wrong.
But really, in almost no situation in the standard shmups have I ever seen a wall that cannot be dodged no matter what. There's always some way.
-
Just gonna say that Donut's advice about Killing Doll was spot-on.
I had a solid wall of bubbles covering the entire screen on Sakuya's first spell once.
There aren't enough bullets to do that.
-
There were enough to block off both possible "lanes" completely. I went around the knives and got blocked by the knives themselves. If there ever was an impossible Jack the Ludo Bile, that was it.
-
Bubbles in EoSD are walls simply because their hitboxes are larger than any of the other games. That's all.
-
Bullets can't form walls unless they've absolutely NO WAY of being passed between at any random point (I.E. Full Moon Pompokolin is a definite wall that fixes itself but merely serves as example, though something like Light of Justice has no walls besides lasers because it is definitely possible to go between those arrowheads due to their small hitboxes). After all, you can't walk through an actual wall, now can you? There's no luck involved in walking through a solid wall, now is there? Given, with bubble bullets, walls are easy to make to a degree.
In that case, every bullet is technically a wall because you cannot walk through it :V so Zengeku's right about those damn bubbles especially
-
Bullets can't form walls unless they've absolutely NO WAY of being passed between at any random point
This is what happened, the bubbles overlapped in just such a way so that every hitbox overlapped. The only way to dodge was to go around...which the all-hitbox knives blocked.

Oh, my bad, didn't see that part. :V

Are you going for the stage portion as well? I'm unfamiliar with it, can't remember how difficult it is.
-
Are you going for the stage portion as well? I'm unfamiliar with it, can't remember how difficult it is.
I am not going for the stage portion as well for 4 reasons.
1. There is no reset button in Stage Practice, so I would have to reselect every time.
2. Rank. I suicide right before Sakuya for a lower rank 2nd nonspell and that's it, because otherwise I'm horribly inconsistent at it.
3. The wallfairies, though I am getting consistent at them.
4. Midboss Sakuya is made of evil.
What? I thought midboss Sakuya was easy (in a relative sense) compared to the a lot of the stage portion before and after her. Though the rank might have always been low whenever I reached her.
She right after the wallfairies which were likely bombed/died to, lowering rank. the nonspell kills me randomly a lot, and though I can do the spell it's very inconsistent.
-

-
I just made my best attempt so far at the UFO normal 1cc, managing to get all the way to Byakuren's fourth spell. I also captured Sinker Ghost (Minamitsu's last spell on normal), Shou's last two spells(!) and Byakuren's second spell, each for the first time. Almost there!
-
There were enough to block off both possible "lanes" completely. I went around the knives and got blocked by the knives themselves. If there ever was an impossible Jack the Ludo Bile, that was it.
I doubt this is true, and anyways, you're supposed to move so that BEFORE the knives are aimed, you'll be able to sidestep the knives safely (read the bubbles, that is). You should have macrododged the bubbles (again, before the knives are aimed - it sounds like you tried to do that after the knives were aimed).
And The World should never wall you, redirect it to the sides.
Oh and the point of the first and second nonspells is trying to wall you, so saying "I only die on the nonspells when I get walled" is a pretty funny thing to say lol
And the stage/midboss isn't hard compared to the boss, except you might get unlucky on the wallfairies (but you can kill the three of them ASAP so that it rarely happens)
OT: ReimuA EoSD Hard 1cc, second try. That's all 4 shottypes cleared on Hard. Time for Lunatic? Maybe I should go beat PCB hard now :derp:
-
1. There is no reset button in Stage Practice, so I would have to reselect every time.
But you have to go past the entire stage to reach her?
4. Midboss Sakuya is made of evil.
Midboss Sakuya is made of static. Watch a replay. You can safespot the non and the card is easy once you figure how to do it.
The two other reasons were completely reasonable, tho'.
-
2. Rank. I suicide right before Sakuya for a lower rank 2nd nonspell and that's it, because otherwise I'm horribly inconsistent at it.
What? If you are playing for a survival challenge, I don't understand why you'd deliberately want to make things easier on yourself. Perfecting a low rank Sakuya won't be as impressive as perfecting a max rank Sakuya will it?
-
^ agree
You're cheating.
About the stage portion: Midboss Sakuya's spell is easy memo, and even when you screw it up it's hard to die on. The nonspell is annoying hitboxshit but you can cheese it. It's not a huge loss because it's not an impressive feat to begin with. The only real challenge is the wall fairies, and that's mostly up to luck (unless you're good at shooting them down at record time).
-

I'm sorry, but I must disagree. Not only is max rank not always necessarily harder (try facing Meiling's opener at a low rank and you'll see what I mean), but once you impose those restrictions, where will it go from there? If you must no-death a stage for your run to be legitimate, that just gets ridiculous. Plus, in this case, I find that Sakuya really isn't any easier on lower ranks outside of Killing Doll; what is faster is also more spread out by nature and is less likely to trap you.
So no, it isn't cheating. A perfect is a perfect, silly game mechanics aside.
-
He wouldn't be doing it deliberately if it wasn't making his life easier; Max Rank Sakuya is harder. The patterns are more dense outside of Max Rank but are also really damn slow. Fast, giant hitboxes are more threatening than slow, maneuverable giant hitboxes. That's besides the point; a perfect is a perfect only if you're completing it for the sake of completing it.
-
^ agree
You're cheating.
No one called donut out on it after he got Patchy.

No. No it's not. Either Sakuya dies or I have to pull ridiculous dodges through the kunai.
The wallfairies are not mostly up to luck- position yourself just off the center during the pre-wallfairies, stream to the center, move up, dash left, move a little to the right. This kills 3 of them.
What? If you are playing for a survival challenge, I don't understand why you'd deliberately want to make things easier on yourself. Perfecting a low rank Sakuya won't be as impressive as perfecting a max rank Sakuya will it?
Perfecting Sakuya is impressive regardless of rank. Besides, her opener is harder for me at minimum rank than maximum rank, so in making the 2nd nonspell easier I'm making the first nonspell harder.
I doubt this is true, and anyways, you're supposed to move so that BEFORE the knives are aimed, you'll be able to sidestep the knives safely (read the bubbles, that is). You should have macrododged the bubbles (again, before the knives are aimed - it sounds like you tried to do that after the knives were aimed).
I scanned for a gap in the bubbles from left to right, saw none, knives spawn, go left to stay under Sakuya, see no gap, run around the knives (I don't usually have to go around them), die.
ON TOPIC:Failed to Killing Doll twice in a row. This is still an accomplishment.
-
If it's actually harder for you then... okay. :/ I know you can take out the fairies, that's what I was referring to.
Finding a path you can take every time for the midboss spell really shouldn't be a problem. My path is
>somewhere between center and right, stream right
>go up, stream left
>prepare to stream right but card is over zzz
-
Holy crap, 2nd run of UFO Extra to perfect the stage was perfect up to Rainbow UFO. 3DNB total with another fail at Grudge Bow, but like VoWG I only need to get lucky once. This won't take long now.
-
No one called donut out on it after he got Patchy
No because we all know how Donut does it. He doesn't care about last spells in IN either.
But really, who the heck cares? I made a post about not understanding why Ihavenoname would suicide before Sakuya. I wouldn't quite call it cheating rather than opting for a (maybe) less difficult challenge. In terms of survival challenges like these there is not really any cheating within the game engine's limitations.
Take myself for example. I considered my 2 bombs 0 deaths run of SA Stage 5 to be essentially perfect because the two bombs were used at points that doesn't provide challenge. Others will be very strict with their restrictions. Whatever one does choose to do with regards to their survival challenges is not something you can call cheating or not cheating. Unless of course you use TAS and such. I merely asked Ihavenoname why he was doing what he was doing because I didn't understand it. He answered it.

Seems like I'm on a roll. C1 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22940) was kinda weird. It seemed, at least during the stage, as if there were less and especially slower bullets overall when compared to the other routes, it felt more like Hard-mode. Despite this possibly faulty judgement I kinda really screwed up the third stage.
edit: And that's it. C2 done. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22944) Now I could actually try to play well, what a novel thought.

And a PCB Extra clear. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22947)
I still don't understand why I used to find this one especially hard.
Anyway, heavy border abuse and an actually quite decent run by my standards (which are low).
I'm pretty confident I could no-deaths this one, but it will wait a bit.
Out of curiosity, is Phantasm much harder than Extra ? (I don't have it unlocked right now)

Stayed up late to get one more try at EoSD in.
(http://i.imgur.com/hPyFJ.jpg)
Success! I think I bombed pretty much everything in stages 5 and 6 (nerves), and I used up like 2 lives and 6 bombs on Scarlet Gensokyo, but whatever! I think I cleared it with only 4 unused bombs, but I think this was my like 8th full attempt at it (not counting all the times I decided to die in stage 1), so whatever. Also unintentionally timed out Water Elf (Patchy's second to last spell card on MarisaB) because it's hard to stay under her. I have crap reflexes, so whatever. A clear's a clear for me!
So now I only have UFO and Ten Desires left to Lunatic clear... Oh boy the hardest for last...
-
Out of curiosity, is Phantasm much harder than Extra ? (I don't have it unlocked right now)
Phantasm I find to be easier than Extra, the stage portions because the bullets move faster and don't give me the claustrophobic feel, although the slower moving bullets from Extra will be easier for the people who aren't familiar with the stage yet. Midboss-wise, the nonspell is more difficult, but not too much more IMO. Spells are easier/the same IMO, because the streams in the first don't restrict you to a smaller space in the middle, and the second spell is virtually the same ._."
Boss-wise, some spells are easier, some are harder, it would really depend on the player. Curse of Dreams and Reality is still relatively easy if you know how to tackle it(and I'm still having trouble executing it properly @@), Silence and Motion can be ended really quickly with some misdirection(and is much easier than Ran's second spell IMO). Yukari's Spiriting Away is much easier than Princess Tenko because the butterflies are less dense I suppose? So even though it will still gain speed as time passes, you can maneuver around comfortably. Survival-wise, pretty much the same, not *too* much harder if you know how to tackle Ran's. Xanadu of Straight and Curve is much more forgiving than Charming Siege from All Sides, as you may have heard a lot of. The walls are more solid and straight, giving you a more definite and defined space to dodge in.
Really, most spells will be relatively similar in feeling, and one difference is Yukari's Arcanum at the end of all 10 Spells.
Well, I think I said a lot in the wrong thread @@ ^_^"

Land Scheme "Three Sacred Treasures - Country", you are rather easy for a Lunatic spell. I caught you in one try. Maybe that's what happens when you're just that similar to your Easy counterpart. :V

This Lunatic spell capture thing I've been doing is pretty great. It makes me feel like I'm actually good. :toot:
-
WELL. I ALMOST FORGO TO TAKE IT :V
My first Marine Benefit Lunatic 1cc (http://www.abload.de/img/unbenannt1kpuja.jpg)
Yeah. As I said, I almost forgot to screen it. I was totally surprised. The run was horrible in itself. but I seem to have done a thing or two correct. Maybe I didn't suck as much against megumi as usual :v that said, I think I still failed all of her cards.
TOTALLY SURPRISED AT THE STAGE SIX MIDBOSS. I saw Jaimers 1cc on lunatic and expected...well...the same, but FUCK IT WAS TOTALLY DIFFERENT. That surprised the hell out of me. It wasn't particularly hard, though. and it gives good graze. I timed it out because I had no idea how to shoot her. ANYWAYS. It's not an official game, but that's +1 to my lunatic clears.
-
I DID IT! Finally! I finally 1cc'd PCB Normal!
:D
Now should I give Extra a try or Hard? :derp:
-
Perfect pacifism of PCB Stage 6 Lunatic before Youmu (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAS_zAlmASo)
I may use the word perfect in this context right? Seppo's suggestion. I didn't think it would be feasible but whatever, it succeeded. No, I'm not doing it without focus.
-
Cleared PCB Lunatic today. Only SA and UFO to go.
-
First clear of EoSD extra (used MarisaA). I would be more excited about this but honestly it's easily in my ability to do this, the only reason it has taken this long is my stubborn refusal to bomb because I feel that I should be able to dodge everything in Extra. I decided to bomb more in this run and whaddaya know, a clear. Maybe I'll be more excited if I actually manage to beat it with no bombing...
I still have to capture Q.E.D. though so it's not over *sigh*
-
I DID IT! Finally! I finally 1cc'd PCB Normal!
:D
Now should I give Extra a try or Hard? :derp:
I would say Extra is the next step up, and Hard comes after that. I seem to have a lot of trouble with PCB extra though (especially the midboss).
-
I still haven't beaten Ran. :( I've only gotten so far as that buddhist spellcard... And ONE TIME I managed to get to the spellcard after that.
-
IN stage 3 perfect (i.e. no deaths, no bombs, no timeouts of any boss phase, last spell captured, also 250 extend reached during the stage portion though that's not part of my definition).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYU5pdXbE7M
Regarding the use of the word "perfect", I don't really care. Of course there's still room for improvement in a "perfect" run. I'm just using the term because it's convenient what it refers to (other than a few things like UFO summoning and capturing last spells that vary depending on the person).
-
Well, there you go, Yukari. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22991)
This was fun. Quite similar to Extra indeed, although I wouldn't call it easier.
Stage portions are a bit harder, or at least faster.
Midboss is...quite the same overall.
I found Xanadu of Straight and Curve harder than Ran's Charming Siege. The laser spell killed me a fair amount of time. Boundary of Life and Death is terrifying at the end. And I still suck at any kind of survival spell (I don't even think I have ever captured one, counting all games and all difficulties :V ).
Thanks for the reply Ventus, it gave me an incentive to try it.
-
Cleared 8-6 DS after 870 shots, I think.
I believe I spent pretty much all day trying to clear this... :V
And now whenever I blink I see the giant sun bullets... Thanks, Okuu...

Captured Hourai Jewel. Even with Kefit's strategy, it still went from 30-something attempts to 64 attempts before I captured it.
Now I have all main game cards captured in both games that contain spell practice (still haven't captured Imperishable Shooting, 9 Last Words, and Seiga's Overdrive).

Marine Benefit Lunatic 1cc! Ended with 0 extra lives and 2 bombs, I also captured the final spell. Thanks to the people that gave me advice in the help thread!
Forgot to take a screenshot though, I got too distracted because I got the 1cc much earlier than expected. It was my second time getting to stage 4 in a run, too.
I find this game to have harder patterns than most touhou games, but also gives you a crapton of resources to make up for it, so it isn't too hard to 1cc.
Maybe I should stop fooling around with ultra patches and fangames and 1cc one of the original games, I've only 1cc'd MoF lunatic and PoFV lunatic with Medicine <_<
EDIT: My history at Mikoto's 3rd spell is now 1/4
:V
-
Yes. YES. UFO NORMAL 1CC.
YES YES YES :getdown:
The satisfaction. It is tangible.
Now going to lie down, those last 30 seconds frantically dodging the final card without lives or bombs really got to me.
Only TD remains, and I have been ensured it's a bit easier. Good. After SA and UFO... good.
YES.

Nice, UFO also took me awhile longer than SA to clear ._.
Just a little warning, TD *is* relatively easier than SA and UFO, but be careful of when dense barrages of bullets are thrown at you, because I find TD to have a ton of danmaku to dodge *coughyoshikacough*
But it'll be fine :3

I have been having too much fun with stage 6 of Marine Benefit. My history for Mikoto's third card is either 4/19 or 4/20. Also also all cards on stage 6 captured at least one time. I guess that's an accomplishment, seeing as apparently this card is almost impossible based on what people have said.

Mikoto's third card? No one here has any clue how to approach it. It's not that it's difficult, it's that we literally have no idea what we're doing.
Please enlighten us, because it seems like you're the only one here with a clue when it comes to that thing.

Oh, well, my strategy is basically dodging in the upper half of the screen, and trying to finish the card as fast as possible. If you are fast enough you have to go through the green aimed bullets only twice.
By dodging in the upper half, you have to dodge bullets from above instead of bullets from below (which i find a lot easier), you have to wait less for the gaps in the green aimed bullets, and it's easier to shoot down Mikoto.
I would like to make a video of it, because I suck at explaining things, but I lack the recording software.

Marine Benefit Stage 3 No-miss, no-bombs and no shooting in the stage (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nauUitbLeZE)
Simply clearing the stage without dying or bombing was boring so stage pacifism added to make it more interesting. Furthermore, without knowing, my laptop mic was recording everything I was saying so that came in the vid as well. Not that I said much but it does include my reaction to almost fucking up Tsubame's final spell beautifully captured through a shitty laptop mic.
PS: Her second spell sucks. Thanks to Zil for enlightening everyone on how to do it. And thanks to Malkyrian for providing a timeout of it for me to study.
Took 12 attempts btw. I lost them via fucking about in the stage and failing. And because the midboss was being a dick to me. And because it still took two attempts before I got Tsubame's second spell. Which sucks.
-
And thanks to Malkyrian for providing a timeout of it for me to study.
You're welcome. And yeah, that thing is pure evil.
Inspired by your run, I went and timed out Bokuba Genjou (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opSRr_Y4644) (Tsubame's last card). About time I actually did something worth noting.
EDIT:
Oh wow. How about that.
I went and actually got one of the timeouts I'd been after: Illusionary Pavillion (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1i4GF8d7RU), Kasumi's first card on Lunatic.
Then I kept going, into the card that had always been my Plan B when attempting MB Stage 4: Shrinker's Viewpoint. And I timed that one out too. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mVEjiQs6lQ)
Then as if that wasn't enough, I actually managed to last 28 seconds into Reverse Side Dream Seal. My death wasn't because I got walled, it was because I got clipped stupidly.
The point of this is: I have figured out how to do Reverse Side Dream Seal.
Problem is, it's pretty much impossible to explain in text, so you'll have to wait until I get an actually successful timeout. Though I do have the video of those 28 seconds, should it come to that.
-
Stuck on a computer too weak to play anything post EoSD from the 2nd to the 7th. Took until today to finally realize there's nothing stopping me from perfecting EoSD stages now that I have the replay patch. <_<
First real run of Stage 3 was 3DNB, with 2 of those 3 Ds on the same (second last) card. Shouldn't take that long, I think.
-
And got it. Timed out Reverse Side Dream Seal. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HwmDZeblvg) In theory, perfecting Kasumi should be really easy for me now that I've timed out her entire arsenal except the non-Reimu solo cards.
Meh. We'll see whether I can be bothered to do the stage portion right. Normally I bomb for resources in Stage 4. >_>
-
Marine Benefit lunatic 1cc!
4th try ever, 2 of which failed to the first bosses final spell.
I had 5 lives coming out of stage 1 (bombed the curvy lasers for graze), did moderately well through Stage 3. Died twice to Stage 4 boss 2nd spell, captured the third without lucky dodging due to seeing Malky's strategy of going up high, bombed Stage 5 for massive graze on the lasers and circle death fairy, died repeatedly on the Stage 5 boss. Solid survival, exited the stage 5/1. Nailed the stage part (thanks for showing I wouldn't get rammed Kanon), died to the secpnd midboss (invisible healthbar, wasted 2 bombs on the first one...), and then the boss. Bombspam strats all the way until the 4th spell, which I captured, and then the last spell I captured too. Cleared with 2no3 lives left.

I didn't notice those instructions, but even after following them it isn't working. Do you think you could take a screenshot of your EoSD folder so I can see what it's all supposed to look like? Also, I don't get the instructions to make this run with the English patch.

Good to hear. I haven't figured out a solution to that either, but I don't really care since I can always play my replays in the regular version.

It's kinda lame, but it doesn't look like a problem that can be solved easily. Ah well, this is good enough for now.
In return, you can now see what 25% of all my EoSD stage 6 runs look like. Even with this I don't think I will try for another Remilia perfect. =_=

The actual perfecting, I never ever wanna do again, but at the same time I feel like it's something I have to do again someday just because of this.
Well, thanks anyway for your help, even though the blessing is more like a curse. ^_^;;

Wild Deserted Island no-horizontal timeout. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rncEnJerb4)
Long time overdue, game hates me, etc.
-
Ha...
I think I just realized something big about Scarlet Meister. Perhaps it is a way to avoid those nasty deaths where it looks like nothing will go right. Who knows? My brain's kinda fried, but perfecting Remilia again would probably only take a day or so of dedicated work if this is as good as I think. I mean, my capture rate on everything before Scarlet Meister is through the roof, and I captured Scarlet Meister twice tonight - this last time putting me into Scarlet Gensokyo before dying near the end.
I dunno though, I wonder if this will really be worth it...ah well, who am I kidding, I never back down from a challenge once my mind is set to it.
-
Oh no. Not again with the "I figured out Scarlet Meister" Didn't you do that like 4 times already a few months back?

-
If you have any info, it'd be cruel not to tell everyone. <_<
Well, as that no-name above you mentioned, figuring out Scarlet Meister is kind of my endless goal. :V However, this is a surprising and interesting development that I had never tried before because it's so counterintuitive:
When in doubt, move up.
I'm not sure why, and I'm not sure how, but for some reason, my survival rate (after dying once of course) shoots through the roof if I try to dodge from about halfway up the screen. I think it has something to do with the fact that the hardest part of the card is not the dodging, but moving out of the way of two waves at once. Since the bulk of the bullets have left the center of the screen by the time the next wave fires, it's like a fresh start. I'll have to continue the research though...as always. ;)
By the way, you want to know where I got this idea? GIL (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47PTiBMmHHw#t=3m)

EoSD stage 6 lunatic no bombs no deaths. Good enough for anyone, I'd say.
...Still, it doesn't really feel like an accomplishment. In the 600 or so runs I've done of this stage, I've successfully survived countless hazards. Rare walls in the opener, Young Demon Lord and Thousand Needle Mountain taking forever because Remilia moved out from under me, Vampire Illusion walls, having to deal with four waves of the fourth non-spell, Scarlet Meister doing what it does 95% of the time, and bubble bullets on Scarlet Gensokyo crashing into me through walls.
This run? Everything except for Scarlet Gensokyo went ideally. It's almost boring to watch. Still, an accomplishment's an accomplishment, and it gives me a valuable lesson that it's more fun to play EoSD than to watch. ;)
-
May not be as impressive as other runs could have been, but I'd still be happy with that. Congrats!
And your score is oddly similar to the score I just got on my EoSD perfect stage run. Not sure why I noticed that. <_<

MB stage 4 - All lunatic spells timed out with Sanae (http://youtu.be/YyrGe4vofEM)
I don't know how, but I just timed out all those spells, in the same run too. :o
I may timeout all those spells with the other characters though, since the pattern changes depending on the character.

Been feeling kind of inspired lately, so I no-focused stage 3 and pacified Meiling. I've gotta say, it was fun. Only just now did I realize that Meiling (and to some extent, every boss in EoSD) tends to use spells that are not only very random, but also utilize bullets that come from directions other than the boss herself. Even in Flower Dream Vine, where the bullets spawn from Meiling's general area, the varied speed of the bullets and Meiling's continual movement create the effect that they're coming from every direction. Then there's stuff like Agni Shine, Vampire Illusion, and even Perfect Freeze. I hadn't really put much thought into it before, but think EoSD is definitely my favorite of the "normal" games. I have to get back to work on that no-focus no-bomb run. I had thought I was pretty much done with this kind of thing, but it's nagging me now.
Huh, whatever. Kind of thinking out loud. I think I've perfected every boss in the game over the past few days, and no-focused those books in stage 4 (they all spawned in the corner), if you want "accomplishments" from me. :V
-
So I'm playing MoF Normal with ReimuB.
I make it through a derpy run of Stages 1-5 and I end up at Kanako's boss fight with 1 extra life and like 2.50 power.
I failed. :V
Now I'm staring at the Game Over screen, and I decide to Continue so I could at least unlock Kanako's stage on Practice. I spend the next hour trying to clear the stage with only 2 extra lives.
Soon, I manage to do good enough so that I make it to "Mountain of Faith" with at least 1 extra life. I go dead silent as I put all of my attention into dodging those amuletwalls. I lose that extra life and I have to resort to using up my bombs to save my life. Eventually I have no bombs left (and also no power) but I'm still miraculously alive. Soon the game does that slow down thing when you beat the final boss. I spent the next ten seconds staring at the screen with a dumbfounded look on my face until it sinks in that I've beaten Kanako on Normal for the first time ever.
I watch the Bad ending with that same derp face, but I'm satisfied that I beat Kanako. I then get up from my seat to get a donut.

Went for another PCB Normal 1cc. This time with MarisaA.
I succeeded. Even had an extra bomb at the end. Marisa's fewer bombs must mean I didn't bomb all that much through the playthrough. But there were copious amounts of border abuse. :D

Comments on improvements please because I'm not quite sure if I'm doing it right. I did a lot of stupid things in stage 3.

Well in terms of a concrete accomplishment, I finally captured Chaotic Clan Dance (still don't know what it's called) and Guze Flash thanks to Kanon's helpful videos and advice!
But what I really feel proud of is the fact that after capturing Guze Flash Lunatic, I got curious and decided to see how I would do on Guze Flash Hard. This was a spell card that gave me a lot of trouble about a year ago, and it took me about 120 attempts to capture it. I went back and tried it again multiple times, and captured it 4/5 times, with the singular failure occurring because I got just a tad careless. It's pretty amazing to see how far I've come despite the long arse break between when I played last year and my rather recent string of Lunatic clears. There's still a long way to go, but it's nice to look back and see how far I've already come.

Comments on improvements please because I'm not quite sure if I'm doing it right. I did a lot of stupid things in stage 3.
Looked at your replay, and here are a few general comments:
-I don't know if you know this, but your ice does recharge if you graze bullets, so there are large stage portions where stuff is aimed at you that you can stream and still freeze a ton of bullets to get motivation/perfect freeze.
-Your motivation increases faster when your ice deals damage as opposed to your danmaku, so when you set off your ice barrier, consider letting go of your shoot button so the enemies are hit and killed by the ice.
-Large portions of stages 2 and 3 (in the order that you did them) can be streamed, and when you stream those bullets, you get ice power, and when you get ice power, you can get more motivation/perfect freeze. The fairies at the beginning of stage 2 shoot rice bullets exactly aimed at you, and fire bullets aimed away from you, so there's no need to make large movements to dodge. Just stream and freeze. Similarly for the fairies in stage 3 that come down and fill the screen with the big rice bullets/knives/fireballs.
-For the final boss fight of the game, some attacks can be simplified by getting rid of one of the side fairies first. The attacks change by path, and I can't remember off the top of my head which ones can be simplified like that, but it's something to keep in mind.

I'm working towards a NB Lunatic 1cc, and a NF lunatic 1cc with the rest of the shot types (ReimuB & MarisaB).

Looked at your replay, and here are a few general comments:
-I don't know if you know this, but your ice does recharge if you graze bullets, so there are large stage portions where stuff is aimed at you that you can stream and still freeze a ton of bullets to get motivation/perfect freeze.
-Your motivation increases faster when your ice deals damage as opposed to your danmaku, so when you set off your ice barrier, consider letting go of your shoot button so the enemies are hit and killed by the ice.
-Large portions of stages 2 and 3 (in the order that you did them) can be streamed, and when you stream those bullets, you get ice power, and when you get ice power, you can get more motivation/perfect freeze. The fairies at the beginning of stage 2 shoot rice bullets exactly aimed at you, and fire bullets aimed away from you, so there's no need to make large movements to dodge. Just stream and freeze. Similarly for the fairies in stage 3 that come down and fill the screen with the big rice bullets/knives/fireballs.
-For the final boss fight of the game, some attacks can be simplified by getting rid of one of the side fairies first. The attacks change by path, and I can't remember off the top of my head which ones can be simplified like that, but it's something to keep in mind.
Point 1: I do know that and I try to use it when I really need another freeze.
Point 2: I know that one too, but I didn't really use my knowledge. Whoops.
Point 3: Was I making big movements? Oh dear. In any case, I didn't really need more ice power right there as far as I know.
Point 4: Once again, I know, but generally it doesn't pay off to spend a lot of extra time dodging just to simplify the rest of the attack.
Thanks for watching.

Perfect EoSD Extra! It took maybe two more failures to Q.E.D. (and plenty to various parts of the stage portion and Patchouli), but I finally succeeded.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHhVq-by0Ww
Also, a smaller but still significant accomplishment: I finally captured Suwa War. (900 million MoF Extra, here I come...)
-
Aaaaand MoF 1cc'd with every shottype. :D
The last one with MarisaC (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=23085)was the best run until now, in spite of the 3 4 clipdeaths on Kanako...
Marisa took a while to get used to, I like the Reimu shottypes more after all.
Next: SA :derp:

I timed out Guerrilla Typhoon because I need more consistency at Kogasa.
I didn't focus during the entire spellcard.
edit
UFO ultra normal clear with Marisa because why not. Captured Deep Vortex, Most Valuable Vajra (!) and Devil's Recitation. Cleared 4/0, entered Flying Fantastica 5/2.

Most Valuable Vajra. Hmm-hmm. Does the patch double the speed of the lasers?
If so, I am quite impressed. If not so, I'm still impressed.

It doubles the density of the ring of bullets Shou shoots. It also adjusts the angle of the second laser causing it to (usually) wall you right before a capture.

Timed out "Dance of Snow" A.K.A Megumi's second card on easy because that card is much harder than the normal mode version.

no manual trance either, captured everything except the 3rd spell and the survival, which I died twice to.

No Focus No Bomb MoF Extra (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23100)
Was pissed off at death on Two Claps one Bow so did this (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23101) :D
My last extra stage to clear is Mamizou! All windows extra (no PoFV or GFW) cleared! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23104)
-
Woo! 1cc'd Ten Desires Normal.
You're next, Mamizou!
-
EoSD Extra, no focus/deaths/bombs. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23109)
So a perfect no-focus run, in other words. And according to the uploader, the only one of its kind. I tried no-focus no-bomb yesterday and ended up clearing with a single death to Starbow Break, so I figured I could do it with no deaths. First run of the day nailed it.

Yay 1cc'd it with Marisa.
Now only Sanae is left.
Literally minutes after that 1cc, I did this. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWFDbiUX4_8) Though i wasn't able to upload it until now.
Marine Benefit lunatic 1cc with SanaeA, remarkable things include ended 7/2 (whoa), perfected Tsubame and almost perfected Kasumi (failed at the easy last spell (again)).
I feel like SanaeA is so overpowered, she one of the strongest main shots on the game, and those disco lights do some ridiculous amounts of damage, plus they pierce infinitely.
This run also shows how to capture Mikoto's third spell.
Also, made timeouts of Megumi's last 3 spells (all in the same run) and recorded them, I may timeout her midboss and first boss spell and make it a video with all spells from stage 5 timed out.
-
3 billion.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23111
Also, I thought Rising World was supposed to be one of the most difficult cards in the game? It seems easier than all of the stage 6B non-Last Spells (except Salamander Shield) to me. I'm now 3/4 on it, the failure was from my first Lunatic 1cc.

At long last...
I've finally beaten Touhou 12, UFO Lunatic. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23125)
After about 7 months of playing I've finally beaten Touhou 6-13 on Lunatic.
And to think, at the start of this year I had practically no shump experience whatsoever, besides some messing around with Touhou 6 back in 2009 and playing space invaders when I was younger.
Thanks to everyone who gave help, encouragement and advice for beating the game, they were all invaluable and definitely helped me beat this game alot sooner. Without that support I'd probably have throw my computer out of the window a while back.
For everyone who's interesting in the Let's Play series I've started, please stay tuned for Touhou 7 on Normal! (and maybe some other stuff too... who knows?) I'm sorry I've been holding it off for so long, but I can finally get things going again with the knowledge that I have actually beaten all the main windows games on Lunatic at least once.
-
About time. Congratulations.
-
A hard fought victory, one you definitely deserved. Congrats!
-
7 months? Another fast one, Jesus Christ. Congratulations!

Yay, I have captured my first Last Word.

On another note, my EoSD Extra Clear is now on Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMGKohHOkIY&feature=g-upl (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMGKohHOkIY&feature=g-upl)
I will probably upload more videos from now on.
Oh, and Congratulations, Nindella! Absolutely awesome, well done.
-
DONE! MoF Normal 1cc'd.
So far, I've 1cc'd PCB, MoF, and TD on Normal.
I'm not sure whether I should go for EoSD next or UFO.
Congrats to Nindella for your Lunatic clears! Hopefully I'll get there someday.

After about 7 months
how the shit do you do this so quick
-
At long last...
I've finally beaten Touhou 12, UFO Lunatic. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23125)
:D Nice job clearing them all. Now set even higher goals for yourself and push it. Also consider trying out non-Touhou shmups if you haven't already.
-
I just got a 1.8 million score on EX-9.
This is a 1,000,000 point improvement due to 2 shots over 300k.

Congrats Nidella! It's warms my heart every time I see someone reach that milestone. :D Any plans to do PC-98/the decimal games?

Don't really care about score much, I was replaying the scene and managed to get an extra million.
Though now I'm trying to get a total score of 25,000,000 (about 500,000 away)

I give you my well-deserved congratulations. Another dragon has been put to rest, so to say.
Also, huzzah! More videos!
...also, seven months? Oh dear. I spent around two months at doing all the normal 1cc's, so I'll be unable to resist the urge to do better. Still, that seems unimaginably fast...
-
7 months? That makes my 2 years (well, 1 year 11 months) feel really slow.
Anyway, I was practicing PCB stage 5, and managed to capture all of Youmu's cards (not in the same run). I think I might be able to perfect this stage as well...
I wonder which game I'll manage to reach all in-stage captures in first? I'm pretty close in PCB, MoF, and TD now.
-
EOSD hard 1cc, I gave myself 5 Lives to start with but my lives never drop below 3 in the whole run.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23224
And here's a PCB hard 1cc.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23083
MOF, your next!
-
DONE! MoF Normal 1cc'd.
So far, I've 1cc'd PCB, MoF, and TD on Normal.
I'm not sure whether I should go for EoSD next or UFO.
Congrats to Nindella for your Lunatic clears! Hopefully I'll get there someday.
Both of them are hard to 1cc, but good luck anyway. Looks like I need to catch up :V
For EoSD try to 1cc it with the hitbox patch first, and then after a good knowledge of the hitboxes remove it and 1cc it again.
I've tried UFO Normal one time, and it find it super easy to screw up the resource/UFO-gathering.
-
Congrats Nindella, that's great ! (and incredibly fast, too)
Well, I was tired of failing everything else, so I unlocked the Extra Stage on PoFV (so game cleared with all characters, normal mode).
This game is fun, lots of sick dodges even when you lose.
The last stage is really hard, though. I had to use continues there with nearly all characters, but I still got a proper 1cc with Aya (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23133), with 2 spare lives at the end.
Not a huge accomplishment, but that's what I was aiming for, so it's nice :)
-
Only 45 hours? Auhh, that's nearly Cactu-fast.

Oh, come on, this is getting out of hand with the difficulty.
Huge congratulations, was worried when I saw your comment on Youtube about being bored of Touhou. Did you change your mind?

Thanks! Yeah, I was bored of the games, but I took a break and now I'm over it. The tournament's EoSD challenge probably helped revitalize me as well. So no need to worry about me quitting. There are a few of them I think I'm done with, but I've already put so much time into the games that it would be kind of crazy to just drop them entirely anyway.
-
Cleared Lotus Land Story Normal mode on my second try. Just a step towards clearing all Touhou games on Normal.
-
No, time out Rorschach in Danmaku :3
No, time out both.
-

Try LLS Hard. It's very easy for a Hard, easier to 1cc than some of the other games' Normal modes in my opinion.
-
Celebrating Friday by playing some Ten Desires! I still haven't managed to 1cc the whole thing, but I have managed to capture all spell cards on Lunatic and under plus all Extra cards! (Thank you spell practice). I actually feel like Ten Desires actually has some of the easiest danmaku in the entire series. That viewpoint might be a little bit biased though, seeing as how I'm tackling this one on the tail end of my Lunatic 1ccs, but even still... Now all I have to do is figure out how to do the overdrives..,

Followed up my first perfect extra with a practice run of Stage 5 to get myself reacquainted with ReimuA and 1DNBed the stage portion, including a wildly lucky Greatest Treasure capture. If UFO wasn't UFO, I might stick with it for now. <_<

There's always trying to improve your score. Scoring in this stage mainly revolves around the stage portion though; Nue is pretty much the same as in a perfect run (not sure if that'd be preferable or not).

TD Extra clear with no bombs and no manual trance. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23150)

Closest to PERFECT (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23164) Yuyuko fight this far. Failed only one spell card, and had one border break at the second non.
Whatever. This was stupid. Back to scoring stuff.
Edit: watched it. It looks really dull and boring, no cool moments at all. How sad, I feel bad for posting it. Lucky with the RNG, nothing else.
-
EoSD and IN Normal 1cc complete!
I did a little victory dance at EoSD's 1cc. That one took forever, and it was the first Touhou game I played, too! Glad that's finally done. Only SA and UFO left.
-
Marine Benefit Perfect Stage 5 Lunatic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMmlIfzmACk)
Finally got this. After some attempts, this was just a matter of lucking out the bullshit green spam stage section, then not mesing up the last spell. The second spell decided to RNG bullshit me a few times, too.
Figuring a route for the last non-spell also took a while.

(http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/3301/th004c.png)
B1 Lunatic 1cc'd (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23169)! I first started attempting this months ago but dropped it for a while in favor of other things. Decided to come back to it today and finally pulled it off with a bit of grinding :toot:
Stage 1: Standard stuff. One bomb used during the final green bullet section. Ended with 403% motivation.
Stage 2:
- Two bombs, one for each blue ring section.
- Death to Lily's last attack and a kunai towards the end.
- 2D4B Star, which isn't too bad considering what's happened before. Ended with 292% motivation.
Stage 3:
- Deaths to both fireball sections and Luna's stage non-spell.
- Survived the ring-fairy section for once.
- Began final battle with 148% motivation and 46% prefect freeze.
- Why does Luna's first spell exist
- Cheesed the first half of Three Fairies. Cleared with 50% motivation and 2% freeze.
B2 and both Cs are left. I'm hoping it's true that they're not like this :V
-
Perfect MoF stage 3.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKQYeIlArQ8
Also, I captured Seiga's Overdrive (it took 172 total attempts), meaning I've now captured all Ten Desires cards in spell practice.
-
Try LLS Hard. It's very easy for a Hard, easier to 1cc than some of the other games' Normal modes in my opinion.
I will, eventually. Right now I'm trying to avoid the trap of playing too many games at once.
In the meantime, something completely unrelated - Dragon Necklace (Normal) timeout:
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23173

First time playing Sanae's extra in the latest version. Gathering Void -Rainbow- has very thankfully been nerfed, the bullets are now possible to see behind the smoke, though you have to have pretty sharp eyes since they're not easy to see.
Round Dance of Transmigration, on the other hand? Hoooooly shit. Gone from being a joke that I could capture in my sleep to an utter bloody nightmare. Seriously, I'd love to see anyone pull off a capture of this thing without SanaeC abuse. Or, hell, even WITH it.

Round Dance on the other hand, surprised me too :V
I think it's not that bad though.
OTOH, this should belong to derp thread.

Yesterday, to celebrate EoSD's 10th birthday, I beat up Flandre repeatedly. 1st MarisaB, ReimuB, and ReimuA clear in the same day. Now I'm done with all 4 shot-types.
Now that's Easy, Normal, Hard, and Extra cleared with all 4 shot-types. Since I'm saving all the Lunatics for last, I'm completely done with EoSD for now... except I still need to capture Q.E.D. FFFFFFFFUUUUUUU- I'm 0/9 on that card now. Maybe I should just leave it for later.

Woot! Ten Desires Lunatic 1cc! I actually had a run before this that failed at Miko because I didn't heed my own self-talk and didn't bomb the hell out of everything, so I entered Miko 3 lives (and got 1 during the fight) and still game over'd. So I did it again, and this time I bombed pretty much everything :V. I'm actually somewhat ashamed that it took me this long to do it. It was definitely within my skill level, but this game has this strange habit of making me try to optimize everything as much and as safely as possible because of the trance system, leading to tons of stupid deaths trying to get spirits. Well whatever.
Now I only have UFO left to clear and I'll have 1cc'd all integer Windows Touhou games on Lunatic! This ought to be fun!

http://replays.gensokyou.org is the best place to upload replays that's for english speakers (But then again royalflare.net's not much better).
That aside, congratulations! Good luck with 1ccing UFO, that game is like if the main programmer of DoDonPachi (Or any Cave game in that matter) had a superbaby with ZUN that eats whiskey for breakfast and drinks nails for dinner in comparison with the rest of the series, ESPECIALLY on Lunatic.

PoDD 8/9 characters 1cced (luna (http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/2044/poddvquoteellenonkotohi.png)).
Played as aggressively as feasible. Made one allowance: after a boss summon, I'd occasionally delay enemy kills in order to set up a bullet-cancel shield (which often kept things just as hectic).
Ellen (http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/5254/poddellen1cc39msplitscr.png) was by far the hardest. Made Mari and Kana, the next two hardest, seem almost easy. Got better at scoring: broke 60 mil (http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/7302/poddhighscorescreenluna.png).
Used this (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,12646.msg847935.html#msg847935) tons. It was my focused movement. Still got a text file of PoDD advice/thoughts gathered from other folks when I was in sponge mode; would be happy to put it up somewhere if anyone's interested. Though I suppose I'm mentioning that more as oblique thanks to eb and Zil.
I get bad slowdown in Chiyuri mirrors, so I won't go for that 1cc (pound my head into that wall) until I get a new computer. Might go back and play the other five characters a bit now that I (think I) know how to score, but I'm leaning toward taking a break. Feeling good about what I've been able to do on both the primary and secondary fronts.

It started on topic :V
Nice job on the PoDD clears, I go normal once on a fluke and haven't really touched it since.
-
http://replays.gensokyou.org is the best place to upload replays that's for english speakers (But then again royalflare.net's not much better).
That aside, congratulations! Good luck with 1ccing UFO, that game is like if the main programmer of DoDonPachi (Or any Cave game in that matter) had a superbaby with ZUN that eats whiskey for breakfast and drinks nails for dinner in comparison with the rest of the series, ESPECIALLY on Lunatic.
Eh well I don't really care much for having replays public/permanent and what not, and since the attachments option is here, I might as well use it for convenience. Anyway, thanks for the encouragement! I find that I'm bombing pretty much every single spell card in the game from stage 2 onward aside from a few trivial ones like Ichirin's second and last spell card and Murasa's first. It's crazy.
And as for an actual achievement, I still have had no luck with 1ccing UFO Hard with ReimuA, but I did manage to capture LFS Hard with SanaeB while practicing it. I was really surprised at the capture too. Came out of nowhere.
-
PoDD 8/9 characters 1cced
Fuck yeah. Nice work man. Getting those clears is no easy task. I'm really glad to know there are other PoDD fans out there willing to play all of the characters like that. And good luck when/if you go after Chiyuri sometime in the future. It's tough all right, but if you work at it I'm sure you'll get it.
Also... I'd be interested in seeing that text file, if you don't mind. Anything you got from other people that I could learn from would be greatly appreciated. In fact, I should probably start writing things down myself, having started to really experiment with the scoring system. Apparently bigger enemies give more points. Completely arbitrary, yes, but I never would have suspected it.

Timed out Yuyuko's Deadly Dance. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgSQTcC9B5Y)
Which is both awesome and annoying, because now I have a lot less motivation to do PCB Stage 6 in order to attempt Sumizome. Nothing to do in the meantime.
Why'd my Hourglass computer have to break down? :qq:
-
You can shoot for stuff like some NV captures and/or NF captures.
Also doing stuff as fast as possible is always a possibility. - It's not such a long fight and knowing your skill and experience I think timing out Sumizone would not take that many attempts. You have watched some misdirection-explaining replays of timeouts done on it, right?
-
Cleared GFW Route B-2 on Lunatic. Just a random credit and hey I won. Nice. Now I've only got the C routes left. B-2 wasn't my cup of tea to be honest. Too many dumb spells. Final spell was beyond evil though. Why the fuck doesn't this game have Practice modes ZUN you fucking... ah whatever. Still a fun game with really difficult patterns.

Which they unfortunately don't. GFW would be 10 times better if you could use savestates for it.

And guess who finally got his SA Lunatic No bombs clear? This slug who's been trying on and off at this ever since that MoF No-Bombs clear.
On and off in this context translates into 6 runs across quite a while. I would probably have been able to pull it off much quicker if I had just focused my efforts into it but this game is really annoying without bombs to be honest. It makes Stage 3 become somewhat of a dick and it turns Stage 5 into a nightmare of pixel perfection demanding, dare i say, BS. I don't like that at all. Please make difficulty by having tricky patterns in the future instead of relying on ultra tiny gaps.
Oh well. I won, I'm happy now. ;). What else do I have left to NB clear? PCB, IN, EoSD and UFO I guess. UFO will have to wait for a while since my consistency with Shou and Byakuren is still utter shit.

Perfect Orin Lunatic fight!! :] (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23206)
One step closer to perfecting Touhou 11's stage 5 on Lunatic :D
Now if only catwalk was a bit simpler... :derp:
Also, congrats Zengeku with the NB Touhou 11 Lunatic 1cc, that's seriously awesome! :toot:
-
Oh welp, congratulations.
Zengeku: EoSD.
-
Thank you guys. @BT: Yeah, I am considering doing EoSD as well but I would need time to get familiar with it again. I also need some time to un-suck myself, however i will pull that off, because I haven't been able to play properly today as evidenced by the various dumb mistakes in my SA runs as well as me taking over 20 attempts to time out Mystia's 2nd spellcard. Which I'm normally capable of doing consistently.
I dunno, a little break while I repair my broken skills would be nice. Oh and if my PC would stop moving in random directions at it's own convenience it would be nice too. Sometimes it just keeps moving in one particular direction until i press that direction key and that can really screw me up. Is that perhabs something there's a fix for or is it a hardware issue?
-
Getting better with StB, only 5-5 and 5-8 missing from Level 5.
-
Random 1-miss no bomb Sakuya. Haven't fought her in a long ass while. :V
She seems pretty fun. Made some runs after that and found issues with the first non-spell. Getting walled. I'm guessing it's about quickly reading the attack to find the areas without the walls. I'll get it down soon enough probably. I think I'll play with this maid a bit more. Try and get more consistent at her attacks. Stage generally seems easy though unsure if my approach to the wall fairies in the stage is solid.
Also, Sakuya's 2nd non-spell is awesome. And Killing Doll seems nightmarishly difficult. Several levels beyond her other attacks.
-
Cleared Level 5 in StB, 5-5 was the most exciting experience I had recently.
I should start with UFO or SA Normal already, but messing around in StB and PoFV is soooo fun :3
-
MarisaA on UFO normal, near perfect Ichirin boss. Used only 1 bomb.
Why can't I do this with SanaeB?

Ultra clear of EoSD Extra without autobomb patch (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFJTs8b9vEM)
That was my second attempt.
First attempt Ultra clears: PCB Lunatic, Phantasm, Extra, MoF Extra, IN Extra
Ultra is so funny. Look at all those walls.

Almost perfected Patchouli on my first attempt with ReimuB. Just didn't know what to do at her first non-spell so she got me there. Emerald Megalith is a really cool card. So is that green wind attack she has. Bury in Lake didn't seem to unreasonable but then again, she can probably be really cruel with her EoSDbubbles there. Her other two spells aren't terrible either. All in all, a pretty fun boss and satisfying to do well against.
So here's the big question. What is up with ZUN's obsession with putting badass boss fights at the end of hideous stages? Seriously, stage 4 in EoSD is probably one of the most awful stages ever. Only challenging bit is the books and that's challenging to the point of 'how the fuck am I supposed to dodge this, let alone consistently'.
I dunno, there are probably people out there who can capture this part with consistency but I just hate that stage structure of -easy, easy, easy, holy fucking shit, easy, easy, oh it's boss time. But really that's something for the rage thread. I just came here to say that I pretty much perfected Patchouli on my first attempt and that I found that to be an accomplishment. Now let's go write a fanfic about stages like these need to burn.
-
easy, easy, easy, holy fucking shit, easy, easy, oh it's boss time
What a coincidence, I just came here to say I successfully dodged exactly one full wave of Vengeful Cat Spirit's Erratic Step. Mostly mindless flailing, and I had already died on the card, but when you're dealing with this card you take these little victories. <_<

Play at 75fps. Also, ReimuA's Patchouli fight is the best.

Timed out Illusionary Pavillion and Astral Travel in the same run.
EDIT: Just timed out Shrinker's Viewpoint with Marisa.

Got a video up of my SA Lunatic No-bombs clear.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=josXwwzral4
It took forever to write commentary for this. I kinda ran out of ideas at Stage 4 unfortunately and coming up with stuff to say was getting difficult. I believe it's inferior to MoF but I did what I could.
-
Randomly decided to do a run of PCB despite being like... half asleep/loopy from lack of sleep, which was self-inflicted for no particularly good reason. Incredibly sloppy. There are probably a few points where I blatantly get distracted and only survive by realizing after the fact that some bullets whizzed by my face. So many stupid deaths.
Still, since I've been stuck in Practice mode trying to get to where I can consistently 1cc Yuyuko without bombs, this represents my best run of PCB to date. Which is equal parts sad and encouraging, since I got to Stage 6 half asleep.
Here's the replay, but I guarantee it is not pretty. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23259)
-
PCB Extra, pretty average run until Chen, then I screwed up, but instead of restarting, I just go on.
And then I capture Charming Siege From All Sides!
I love this Spellcard, but I think I've been pretty lucky with the RNG. :V

Greatest Treasure - Perfect Timeout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23262)
It was only a matter of time until this happened. There was one wave in particular in which I did not know what I was doing at all. See if you can find it. :derp:
Today should mark one year since I played my first credit. This is a passable present.
-
Hey BT, your post is mocking the fact that I haven't pulled that off yet. :V Good job anyway!
*goes off to try some Greatest Treasure*
-
Do it over and over until you get a few easy waves. I definitely got it sooner than I should have. (X/199 as ReimuA, actually, but plenty of those were bombs)
-
I've got over 250 runs against the spell. Though a lot of those were indeed also bombed back in the day I wanted to perfect Shou (Which took over 100 attempts to get good enough to pull off. I think I had around 150 runs against her at that point.) and therefore wanted to get there with full power. But ehh... after making that post, I went and timed out Greatest Treasure in four more attempts which including the attempts I made at it yesterday makes it 10 attempts total. I have around 30 captures of it which isn't a lot out of 250-300. :(
Then I tried Catwalk Lunatic and got two 1-miss timeouts of it. However that spell apparently breaks my focus really quick so I couldn't read the bullets at all after those two near-successful attempts. Will try it later. Haven't had breakfast either so that perhabs have something to do with it.
Maybe I should try timing out all Stage 5 midboss spells. And Tewi too even though she has no spells. Her first attack will count as her spellcard. :V
-
LUNATIC ALL CLEAR!
Thank you for playing!
So, this makes five Lunatic clears for me.
Also, in case anyone was wondering, LLS is pretty much the reason I haven't had many videos lately. I've been playing it to death, it is such a fun game.
Can't seem to record PC98 stuff, unfortunately. :(
-
Hmm.. gratz on your clear Malky.
As for myself, got my timeout of Cat Walk. I got a whole lot of 1-miss timeouts of it in the process but now it's done and I'm happy. It and Greatest Treasure have bugged me for a long while.

-
For now only one thing: Bomb more! I saw ~6 deaths with bombs in stock.
I really did intend to use all my bombs on that run. And all my borders, if I had to. My reaction time was just utterly shot, and half of those deaths were me running into bullets I was absolutely certain I was going to dodge.
I'll see about doing a better run sometime soon so I don't look like quite such a nincompoop.
-
...running into bullets I was absolutely certain I was going to dodge.
Yeah, I know this feeling. But in the end, preemptive bombing might give you enough lives to clear, even if you don't capture as much spellcards (which wouldn't be captured anyway because of clipdeath).
-
I did Hourai Elixir Easy at the top because I wanted to see how many point items you can get. I got... 87. This was in Spell Practice, and it might be slightly different in a real run because you get a couple after Eirin/Kaguya explode. I was kind of hoping for 100 because I wanted to see what would happen if you get an extend in Spell Practice.
IDK where to put this so I put it here lol
-
Wow... I did amazingly well on UFO stage 4 normal on this run. Almost at full lives with three bombs? Too good to be true...
Watch it all go down the toilet when I fight Murasa and/or Shou.
-
Oh man, I still can't believe I managed that. Cleared PCB on Normal without using continues. This is the first time I've ever done a 1cc run of any Touhou game, ever. Ahahaha, holy crap, I was half convinced I was never going to manage.
Replay here. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23270) The shoddy dodging on Youmu's last spellcard on Stage 5 was partially due to my having to leave and come back hours later in the middle of that spell card, since family arrived in the middle of the run. Partially that, partially just me being overconfident.
Still, wow. :D :D :D
-
Okay, done timing out all Stage 5 midboss spells now.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBvo1T3gwmY
I threw Tewi in there even though she doesn't have any spellcards. Highlights of this vid is of course Cat Walk and Greatest Treasure. I just threw in the rest of the windows era Stage 5 midboss spells because why not.
-
1/223 on Greatest Treasure Lunatic. That card is ridiculous.
Okay, done timing out all Stage 5 midboss spells now.
Congrats. :colonveeplusalpha:

Congrats! That first 1cc is always a milestone. PCB was the first game I 1cc'd too.
Right now, I'm trying UFO.
I made it to Byakuren again today! I think I'm starting to consistently dodge Shou's spell cards even though I'm still shit at them :V
Made it all the way to Devil's Recitation again.

Sinkable Vortex capture, and almost timed out Eternally Anchored Ghost Ship (but still no capture) so I am slowly improving.

Marine Benefit Reimu Lunatic 1cc!! Took all of 1 try after a few restarts in stage 1, unlike previous failed attempts with Sanae and Marisa.
Damn it why didn't I record video.
-
Got my first captures of Thousand Needle Mountain and Vampire Illusion in the same game (along with a cap of star or David), though it was practice mode.
Still trying to get used to playing in Windowed since fullscreen crashes (more like minimize and refuse to start) most of the time on my new computer.
EDIT: Along with my first TD Hard 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23288) (2nd hard 1cc after PCB) which pretty much came out of nowhere. I think it's due to the fact that I was playing in Windowed mode and was still trying to adjust, which made me a lot more careful with bombing (as opposed to my previous runs which would waste about 5 bombs a life, since I'm way worse at deathbombing in TD). Ended pretty close though at 0/0 due to some stupid mistakes. Ended with a score of 414mil, though it's not like TD score is indicative of anything
-
Captured Resurrection Butterfly 80% Reflowering (and while trying for that capture, all of Yuyuko's other Lunatic cards that I hadn't captured yet). It seems to be somewhere in the middle difficulty-wise among final cards.
Almost done capturing PCB cards, though I still have some Prismriver cards on various difficulties (which I'd put off due to that long stage 4), along with a few of Yukari's I haven't gotten around to attempting yet. I think I'll get PCB before MoF though, solely because of those two Wind God cards.
-
Took my first steps into PCB Hard just now. Got to Youmu's first stage boss spellcard, though I burned all of my continues to get there. Still, for a first try, I'm pretty happy with that.
Gonna be a loooooong time before I 1cc hard though. Some of those spell cards are really fun, though.

Someone tell me why I love this Spellcard so much. Started with a 25% capture rate until the 20th one, then dropped down to something between 20% and 30% in the following days, with longer streaks of losses coupled with more frequent victories in between. Went on for a week or so, trying to capture it at least once a day, eventually settled in at 23%. Think I just went nuts today and had 40 captures or so, with a capture rate between 70 and 100% during the last 20, ending at 103/401. It was like I had been enlightened out of the blue, never seen that happen before so suddenly. Even tried stuff I never did before, shotgunning Mamizou throughout the entire Spellcard, raising my High Score by roughly 4 million. I kind of felt untouchable.
Of course, it's just meaningless grinding in a way, but trying to improve my capture rate suddenly became awfully exciting. Granted, the results are skewed by default since they can hardly account for improvements with so few captures, but I had a lot of fun either way.
Guess I'll try to time it out next!
-
At least you didn't reach MASTER by getting to 100/900...
I know how that feels, just getting so absorbed into a spellcard...
I did that with Royal Clan's Chaotic Dance... 100/900 oh man not touching that ever again.

YES.
UFO normal 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23315)
Just came back from holidays, and I pulled this out at the second attempt. Kinda surprised, seeing how average the run was up to Byakuren (entered the fight with 5/0).
Perfected Byakuren up to Star Maelstrom, captured Devil's Recitation, massive derps on St Nikou Scroll.
I wanted to see if I could stay in Flying Fantastica's first phase, so I tried to time this out. The last 30 seconds were a nasty surprise :V
Only SA and TD left, then.

Jesus Christ, why would you pick that Spellcard for that? It's an extremely cool Spellcard, but my execution's really lacking there. Could be improved, of course, but I really wouldn't want to do it that often I think.
-
BWA HAHAHAHA!
I knew I could beat UFO on Normal! (And, to make matters even better, this particular run was actually one of my best I've ever done in Seirensen, with 3 lives and maybe 4 bombs or something by Byakuren, and I had an extra life in stock when I finally defeated her!)
It only took 100+ tries, but I actually did it! I FREAKING DID IT! :D
And, because of this recent victory.. I've finally 1CC'd all the main series Windows Touhou games on Normal mode!
Today, is a happy day. A very happy day.
I'm gonna go celebrate and gloat a little now to my friends, who all couldn't care less about Touhou :V

Timed out Shou's first card on Lunatic. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjGEyNijGTY)
Managed to dig up a score.dat for UFO that had everything unlocked. Very grateful for it, because it means I can thoroughly ignore the horribad UFO system and just bombspam through Stage Practice.
-
Trying to capture every single spell card in PCB when I'm too fed up with stupid deaths in UFO, and I think it's actually rather doable. I captured several nemeses of mine, including Hell God Sword, a fair number of Yuyuko's cards, Descent of Izuna Gongen, and Kokuri-san's Contract. I only have like 6 cards left: Reflowering 80%, Yukari's 3 last cards, and Merlin's and Lunasa's solo cards on Lunatic. Yes, I did actually go through stage 4 at least 10 times already to capture all of the Primsriver sister's cards on Easy, Normal, and Hard. No, I do NOT want to see stage 4 ever again. I hate it so much. It's like forever seared into my brain. Honestly, not losing my sanity to that stage is just as much of an accomplishment as capturing all those cards that gave me trouble :V.
Edit: Oh holy crap I just captured Reflowering 80% on my first try against the card since I 1cc'd PCB Lunatic. Completely unexpected, especially since I failed every other of Yuyuko's cards except her first.

(Yes, I did go crazy because grinding through stage 4 to attempt one stupid spell card is completely unfun and ridiculously boring.)
All I have left to capture are Yukari's final 2 spell cards, which should be less of a grind because Phantasm and Yukari are, unlike stage 4, fun.

I finally 1CC'd SA on normal modo. I had about 6 lives left after Utsuho. All that's left now is UFO before I've 1CC'd all the Windows games on normal. :V
Dear lord you had SIX lives left after your 1CC?! I have a lot to learn about bombing in that game @@ I bomb *too* sparingly and die too much :V
Amazing job though o:
-
No bomb'd Yukari, with deaths to the bullet spam in the stage portion (which I see no way of doing as the bullets are too fast and too dense for me to read), two stupid deaths to Mesh of Light and Dark and Xanadu of Straight and Curve, one to DDB, two to BoLaD, and one really dumb one to her final survival. I think a perfect is totally doable with a little bit more practice and luck. Even still, BoLaD is really scary :ohdear:
-
So I captured Satori's version of Double Black Death Butterfly (Normal) for the first time.
With that right-key disabled.
-
So...what Stage in Mountain of Faith is so brutally difficult again?
Randomly played Stage 4 and nearly perfected it again, only died to Aya's last card because I was being stupid :derp:
I can't be mad about that at all though since I already perfected the stage :D
-

Okay I'm sorry but I am able to perfect Aya but her last spell is actually a challenge for me. I can't complete it without bombing and/or dying to it. :derp:

Forgot to mention that was lunatic mode :V
Figured out most of Stage 5 too, just have the pre-midboss and post-midboss parts to figure out how to get consistently.
UFO Ultra extra with ReimuA (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23343)
Crap stage, but Nue went far beyond amazingly :D
No spoilers on what I got/missed, other than I missed the 8th nonspell because it's a wall.
Oh, would someone mind recording that for me? My computer doesn't like recording UFO right now. (or anything really, but videos around 2 minutes are fine)
-
Aaaand I just finished Double Spoiler with Aya and Hatate.
Why yes, I am a super player. (http://i.imgur.com/3AvZZ.png) How nice of you to recognize that, ZUN.
:P
I cleared MoF and SA on Normal and Extra earlier this month as well - the former I had to play twice because a hard disk failure and lack of back-ups wiped out my score.dat file for the game :V - so that means UFO and 10D are the only ones left now before I've beaten the entire series. I never thought I'd get this far! Going into the series back in October, I was honestly expecting to give up by the time I hit Shoot the Bullet but well... here I am, I guess.
-
holy crap did I just capture Needle Mountain of a Former Hell on my first actual try what is this sorcery
Nuclear Fusion and Cat's Walk too.
(all of these are on normal by the way)

Ten Desires normal 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23362)
Nothing special here. I wanted to no-deaths stages 1 to 5, but derped on stage 5...
MasterSpark'd Miko like there's no tomorrow ; it was surprisingly relieving to do :V
Only SA left (Utsuho, why do you hate me ?).
@Coreven : grats on UFO lunatic !
-
Enjoy the euphoria. It'll last a day or two.
If I ever clear UFO Lunatic, I'm probably going to be hung up on it for about a week.
Once I make it to Byakuren without continuing I'm going to wait until Winter Break so that it doesn't interfere with school.

Cheers, guys.

Beat Youmu's Last Word with Solo Sakuya after 275 tries.
I'M FREE
But honestly, it wasn't as bad as I thought, as long as you stay RIGHT NEXT TO Youmu's slash so that you get maximum damage when she comes down next to you. You just can't dodge in that direction if you do this since you'll get hit by the remainder of the slash and die. I probably should have gotten it like 100 tries earlier :V. Oh and I didn't save the replay.
(http://i.imgur.com/VatV9.jpg)
Hahaha... HAHAHA. All PCB Stage 4 cards have been captured. I'm free... Free from the boring monstrosity that is PCB Stage 4! FREEDOM! Go screw yourself Capital City of Flowers in the Sky! I'M DONE WITH YOU! AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
(Yes, I did go crazy because grinding through stage 4 to attempt one stupid spell card is completely unfun and ridiculously boring.)
All I have left to capture are Yukari's final 2 spell cards, which should be less of a grind because Phantasm and Yukari are, unlike stage 4, fun.
I'm doing something similar to this except I'm capturing all cards with all 6 shot-type. I've only done the Easy mode cards so far, but from that alone I've already had to play this stage more than I would if I was doing it with 1 shot-type. Wish me luck :getdown:
-
Mountain of Faith capture, after a horrible practice run of stage 6 which involved pacifying attacks to see how they worked and dying to everything. But the capture was nice.
-
Well, that was quick...
SA normal 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23392)
I really didn't expect this one, since it was the first attempt in weeks on this game.
Everything went smoothly, with only a few derp-deaths.
Finished with 3 lives, timed out Utsuho's final spell because why not (I died in the process, though).
So that's it : all 8 games from 6 to 13 1cc'd on normal mode. Yay !
Gotta finish these Extra Stages, now :)
-

Awesome!
Pretty damn amazing that you went straight for this game on Lunatic for your first touhou 1cc despite having no shump experience before, all those months of training and watching Riz's stream paid off though :D
-

As in, your first 1cc ever or your first 1cc of UFO?
If it's the former then that is...pretty ludicrous. The latter is kind of ludicrous as well
First ANYTHING with this game implies ludicrousness. A veritable temple of the absurd!
Enjoy your ludicrously absurd 1cc.

How would you feel if I told you that my first 1cc back in July 2011 was UFO Easy?
Just captured King Kraken Strike on my first try on Lunatic. If it makes you feel any better, it's the only thing out of Ichirin's library that I captured besides the Midboss Spell.

I have no idea who's being congratulated here and I can't really figure out if it's one person, but if it has to do with UFO lunatic, they can have my amazement.
As for myself, after four days of practice I've 1cc'ed PCB Hard (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23394).
It seems rather lackluster now that I looked at this thread, but I'm not going to complain. Huzzah!

EoSD Lunatic Stage 5 [Stage portion][75fps] - Perfect
I totally screwed up the Misdirection route too. (and I never cheese the nonspell)
If only I'd perfected Sakuya. :derp:

I'm holding 60 scenes in the DS speedrunning now. :toot:
-
I guess it's one of those low-effort 1b scores (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23400) that mean nothing.
Still feels rather good to have one. And it certainly is an achievement to me, I'm the worst more serious scorerunner out there after all!
-
Anyone else did a retarded dance when they 1cc'd MoF on normal and the dance eventually gave you a leg cramp?
-
So I decided to give my version of TD Ultra Extra at 50% speed. I got a game over just as Mamizou's survival was moving onto the second phase. I did unlock her Overdrive though. I decided to see how different that is with Ultra and it actually isn't affected by the ultra patch because of how the bullets used are formed. The rest of TD Ultra Extra, as far as I saw on my game, is really absurd. :getdown:
Anyway, I then decided to go for Wild Carpet again on my normal Ten Desires and I got it on my 11th legit attempt. :toot:

Really wishing PC98 had replays.
Just got another LLS Extra clear, with five lives to spare.
That's not the real accomplishment, though. The real accomplishment is surviving a wave of Gengetsu's bouncing stars phase...from the CENTER.

Beat Yukari on my first try. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23418) (But not the stage portion.)
Highlights of the run included.
Capturing everything except Zenki and Goki (I seriously find it harder than Blue Oni Red Oni), Curse, Mesh, Humans and Youkai , and Bounded Field.
Only dying to Yukari's third nonspell, Humans and Youkai and Bounded field.
And I pulled of the safe spot at Life and Death.
Flandre, your next.
EDIT: Could someone record this for me please, I fail at making video's.

Holy crap that is amazing. I've tried that multiple times, but the last attack is such a brick wall. Great job.
As for me, I went and timed out King Kraken Strike (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciEmSnGQ2v0). Nowhere near as hard as Byakuren's first card, obviously, but Stage 3 is so much more annoying so I'm glad it's over with, anyway.
-
[16:58] <Kuruminut> Ooh, 2DNB Byakuren. Made it all the way until Superhuman before screwing up. That felt pretty good.
-
First NDNBNUFO Stage 4 stage portion is also the first one to capture Sinkable Vortex and Eternally Anchored Ghost Ship in the same run. Kind of glad I messed up the 3rd nonspell, because I screwed up on Dipper Creeping Close. <_<
-
Cat's Walk normal timeout. Maybe lunatic next if I'm bored, since it took 1 try.
oh, and 2DNBNF normal Orin in the same run. Both deaths were really stupid too.

Welp I ended up leaving UFO open on Stage 5 so I could continue to unlock practice... And I finally did it! Beat Complete Clarification 0/0, but whatever! I tried continuing a few times against Byakuren, but I quickly realized that there is absolutely no way in hell that I'm going to clear LFS with 1/0. I think the only thing I can actually do consistently is her opener, and Magic Butterfly when I figure out where to go on the third wave. But beating stage 5 using only like 3 lives and 1 extra bomb gives me a bit of hope for clearing this game. Next comes the part where I start obsessively resource optimizing. I can already tell that I'll be playing a lot of stages 3 and 4 in stage practice to see if I can cut down on some bomb usage/deaths in those stages.
-

You don't have to try to clear it 1/0. You can have 2/0.
Enter 2/7 (start 2/2 by continue, max out green UFOs during stage by getting lucky in the orb streaming section and pass Nue NBND by memorization)
bomb 1st spell, 2nd nonspell, 3rd non, 3rd spell, 4th non, 4th spell, and 5th spell. That's 7 bombs giving you 2/0 into LFS.
With 2/0 into LFS, I managed to luck through it enough to finish 0/0.

And now for the rant...
I can't believe I finally did it! A 1cc of UFO normal! I mean, I thought I would never accomplish this considering how much headache this game had given me. My heart was pounding so loud during Flying Fantastica and I was afraid I would run out of lives but I pulled through! I actually did it! I'm so happy! It seemed that the first time I saw Byakuren's final card on Normal was the run I'd 1cc the game... I'm so happy I got UFO out of the way! SA is next, and then I'd have 1cc'd all Windows games on Normal. Wish me luck!
:toot: :toot:
-
Went back to playing Imperishable Night for a bit to try unlocking some of the Last Words and wrap up a few loose ends, aaaaand two days later I have both routes solo'd on Normal all the way up to Alice. :toot: Holy hell, Reimu is a nightmare when you can't focus through her Yin-Yang Orbs - half of the time, I have to bomb my way through her to avoid getting my face smashed in. On the other hand, Marisa is actually pretty good when she's not shackled to a partner, so it sorta balances out.

Best of luck! I'm in sort of the opposite boat (beat everything up to SA, haven't 1cc'd UFO yet), but from my experience, you should be in the clear - Utsuho's one of the easier final bosses and Reimu A and Marisa C are viciously overpowered. Just keep at it and play smart and you should have the game done with in no time. :D

One game is made. One is filled with heroines. And one game ends, unbeaten. That was the way of the world. That is how the cycle of self-depreciation was continued.
And now, self-depreciation has met its end. You will be cursed by the Great Will for this. Cursed to seek other accomplishments for eternity.
You must have no idea now, where your skills will take you.
Fear not.
For only by accepting this curse can you truly walk the path of conquest!
But first, I must test the dark power within you. FACE THE POWER OF THE MIGHTIEST PASTRY, BAKED BY THE GREAT WILL HIMSELF Congratulations. Savor that feeling of accomplishment, and use it to drive yourself to the next.

Timed out Mamizou's Overdrive. Took me a little longer than I expected, then I realized that only the birds can come from two sides at once, so I just rushed through whichever side came first, not exactly sticking with Mamizou and pulled it off in that very attempt.

In my case, Yellow Zebra was what caused me to become interested in Touhou, but if it's a western meme with a wrong name primarily spread by means of fanvideos on youtube which I haven't frequented in the past three years it certainly starts to make sense that I don't know this meme.
Anyway, thanks, was starting to feel stupid there!

And now that I recall that my first Hard 1cc was back in January or something...

You know a couple of days ago I started playing EoSD again and was having trouble with Perfect Freeze?
> Cap Perfect Freeze
> Get all the way up to the spam at the start of Stage 6 when I've only been on stage 6 once ever in EoSD.
WAT.
Worst thing is I had a lot of *really* derpy deaths, like to Meiling's 2nd nonspell, and to BOTH Non-Directional lasers because I forgot the laser's hitbox vanished before the sprite on the first one, and I didn't move quite enough for the second and got clip killed as Patch went into her spell. I seriously think if I didn't derp that hard those 3 times I could have stood a chance at the 1CC.
Also is it strange I can only use Marisa A in EoSD? Reimu's a freaking slug in EoSD...
-
Congratulations Tsym. ^o^ That certainly is the best feeling - that you have managed to complete the long journey. Savor that feeling, and let it decide where you will go next.

Long journey? Surely you mean minor distraction in his case? :V

IOSYS stuff. You know, the things everyone gets into the Touhou fandom by.
Show me these iosys tentacles.
Oh btw, for those of you grabbing these lunatic 1ccs lately, let us know if you're interested in pushing greater challenges like higher scores or different bullet hell games.
Be wary of this man. He dabbles in the black arts of high FPS and forbidden danmakufu.
Instead, follow me and I will lead you down the righteous path of PvP PoFV.

Thanks everyone! I do kind of feel like my main motivator for playing Touhou has somewhat disappeared, but for now I guess I'll focus on capturing spell cards.
Speaking of capturing spell cards, I did manage to capture Boundary of Life and Death a moment ago, and now I only need to capture Yukari's final card before I'll have captured all PCB cards. I seem to die at the stupidest times on that card, even though I know what to do. I think PCB Phantasm is going to get to me before the end of this.
Edit: Because I didn't want to double post...

And all cards captured! It really shouldn't have taken me so long to do this, but whatever. Hm what to do next...

Feels nice to have it finally over for real this time. Didn't take a long time to do it again, but I was pissed the whole time. <_<

So, went back to EoSD because clearly I love getting annoyed at those horribad hitboxes.
Timed out both Bury in Lake (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRqTDE4hyDg) and Water Elf (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te0D7CXDxio).

Not much of an achievement,but buying a new PC with a drastically bigger screen and a new(cheap) keyboard which is not 9 years old, has led to a palpable increase in skill. Or so it seems. 12/13 spells captured in PCB extra scoring 782m
and new Normal highscore (786m) which would have been even higher had I not entered Stage 6 with less than half of Cherrymax after derping twice to Youmu's last spell, and absolutely failing Yuyuko.

A demon has been laid to rest. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23535)
I was really scared when I died to the final Spell Card. It was okay, however. The target is low, but for me it was quite hard. I am rather happy about this.

And all cards captured! It really shouldn't have taken me so long to do this, but whatever. Hm what to do next...
Do it with every shot type. The game is just that awesome.
And congratulations!

Joining the UFO club, although it is not quite as exclusive as the PoDD club (:V) I am really happy to finally have done this. So much suffering over losing runs at LFS and Superhuman Byakuren. Lost one run even though I entered Murasa with 8 extra lives, this time I entered the fight with only 5 but still pulled through, despite death with 2 bombs on stage 5.
The run was livestreamed so bonus points for that imo :3

They just keep flowing in, congratulations!

Wow so many UFO 1ccs. Even 2 lives left! (and I thought my 1/0 clear was above average already...)
Congratz and welcome to the club!

UFO seems to be getting a lot of attention these days and people are clearing them left and right. Congratulations to you all.

I approve of what's happening in this thread. Congratulations all of you UFO lunatics, and Seppo and Seiga as well.

Lunatic B2 cleared (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23545) :toot: I did decently well in Stage 2 but made a lot of mistakes in the beginning of Stage 3 that I thought would cost me the run. Still, I managed to make it through the last fight with relatively few resources like I did with B1. Just the C routes now.
Since I was without internet for a little bit, I also timed out "Heaven Spider's Butterfly-Capturing Web" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23546) :)

MoF Stage 4 2DNB stage portion, 2DNB Aya, and a Peerless Wind God capture.

EoSD Ultra Lunatic ReimuB 1cc! (http://youtu.be/AothseATNmQ)
Way harder than PCB Ultra, that's for sure.

Feels good to sit down and perfect MoF lunatic Stage 2 and 1DNB Stage 3 in a row. Said death was stupid and not to anything difficult either.

That's the third game to go down. Next stop shall be Ten Desires.

Jeez, another UFO clear. Congrats.
@Above, your first four should be EoSD/PCB/IN/MoF. TD Hard is a sizable jump in difficulty from TD Normal.

1cc'd Touhou 11 SA on Ultra Lunatic with ReimuC with autobombs enabled. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23565)
I'm not too sure if that's much of an achievement though :ohdear: considering the whole ReimuC+Autobombs things makes everything, regardless of difficulty, stupid simple...
But there, the Ultra patch gives you the option to use it, and so I've beaten the game on Ultra Lunatic, mwuhaha. :V

Oh, good. Didn't start TD yet and those last three were the ones I've done anyway. EoSD it is!

You could give it a shot anyway, I was mostly pointing out that it may be harder than you think so you don't get surprised.

Holy shit. It's over. My quest is finally over. I just 1CC'd UFO on Normal. All Windows games are now 1CC'd on Normal.

Holy shit. It's over. My quest is finally over. I just 1CC'd UFO on Normal. All Windows games are now 1CC'd on Normal.
Congratulations! SA is the last Windows game I need to 1cc on Normal.
Speaking of my SA 1cc attempts...
I made it to Orin! and got decimated by her first non spell.
This is only the beginning. I wonder if SA will irritate me more than UFO. So far it doesn't look that way but you never know.
-
PCB Extra Stage ~ Perfect No-Focus! (http://youtu.be/3DD2vh462B0)
3 or 4 one death runs before this one. Maybe I'll do the same for Phantasm.
Also I cleared SA Lunatic today. (like 4cc)
Died 4 times on stage 3, still lots to learn!
Kind of relieved that I only need 1 life for stage 6 if I plan out bombs.
Will be getting the 1cc sometime this weekend and move on to UFO.

Ooh, Orin and Shou are the hardest stage 5 bosses, and if you don't actually know her patterns, she's definitely the hardest. In my opinion, she's even worse than Shou.
The stage 6 boss isn't quite as bad as Byakuren though. If you've done UFO, it probably won't irritate you more.
-
Congrats to all UFO clears! That game is very beastly...
As for me,
(http://i.imgur.com/k0HGN.jpg)
I finished clearing UFO extra with all shot types! Although really none of them were particularly challenging, save for maybe MarisaB. The only other one that gave me a bit of pause was ReimuB because she can't kill the UFOs very well in Nue's UFO cards. During the course of those runs, I clearly remember that several were lost to Danmaku Chimera, and the rest to absurdly silly things or actually somewhat challenging things (basically Nue's last 3 spell cards).
I must say though that I'm not feeling all that motivated to play Touhou anymore after the UFO clear. I know there's a lot left to do, but I don't have an easily visible long term goal to work towards, so I feel a little bit less motivated to do things. Clearing Lunatic seemed like a pipe dream back when I was playing Normal mode, but now... I don't know. I guess I'll try clearing with all shot types in some games, though there are some where I honestly could care less about doing that (EoSD and PCB I'm looking at you, and hell if I'm going to bother clearing IN with them all)

Caught Shou's Second nonspell on ultra lunatic, at 3 power. ;)

Cleared Touhou 11, SA's Extra stage!! :] (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23577)

First extra clear? SA? What the what?
Congratulations of course, but that's your first choice?
Going to watch that RP now.
LE EDIT: Okay, looks like I overestimated Koishi a little. Her nonspells look pretty manageable (well, more so than Mokou, my only clear)
Those last three spells are madness though. Re-congratulations.
Also surprised you waited until after all lunatic 1cc's.
And indeed, it's different. In the main stages, one can often bomb the majority of tough stuff, but in Extra you'll have to get yourself together and do some epic things before getting somewhere.
-
Figured I'd upload my timeout of Stage 5 Midboss Orin's spell. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7VGRDxWI10)
Also Congrats to Everyone with the UFO 1ccs! I am still struggling to get my lunatic 1cc of that game, I still haven't gotten past murasa in a 1cc run :V
-
I finally felt like continue spamming UFO lunatic again.
Stage 1: 5 tries to get through satisfactorily
Stage 2: 1
Stage 3: 6 continues, 2 at Ichirin
Stage 4: about a dozen, 3 at Murasa
Stage 5: about 20, 4 at Shou
Stage 6: 3 continues, 1 at Byakuren.
Got through LFS first try with 1/0 entering it, so I'm fairly happy about that.

http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23594
Well, this is another milestone, I suppose. Or maybe not. it's really difficult to say if it is.
what it is exactly is my first 1cc for IN on lunatic. the thing is...it took me 1 1/2 days of spell practice and 2 attempts to clear :v I dunno, it sure took long with MoF and SA. Or even TD, for that matter. it's my 4th for the official games. And I still have 4 to go (EoSD, PCB, UFO and GFW, not counting PoFV or any PC98, who are also missing x) ). Kaguya was a horrible fight. Watch me fail hourai barrage horribly. One can see I have no idea what do to. I probably shouldn't have, but I laughed my ass off at every turn I did. be it successful or fail, since they looked so sluggish and horrible.
the game trolled me, though. 2 cards of kaguya pretty much captured and then it decided to hit me. man...not nice. same for a couple other stuff in earlier stages. like reisen's illusion seeker, Keine's First pyramid and mystia's poisonous moth. I left with 2/1, so I am satisfied, especially since it's a first clear.
Leaving double spark aside, Marisa was awesome. Oh, and the non-spells :v I am horrible at star micro-dodging.
GUYS, I AM TRYING, BUT UFO LUNATIC IS SO HARD D:
next game will probably be PCB. Due to it being easier than the other three. Or UFO, because I am masochistic like that.
-
NDNB stage portion in one run, NDNB Aya in another. Now I just need to figure out how to splice the two together.

I was going to post that I went for the first time until Ran's last spell card, but now I am ashamed, nice job :P

I decided to do MoF Easy at 90FPS and this is what I got. :toot:

Also captured Stage 6 Orin's midboss card with like 1-2 power.

Totally random stab at timing out VoWG, after having not played it in ages. Pulled through with only 2 deaths, which isn't too bad. It would take more than my current skills, deteriorated as they are, to get a second perfect time-out anyway.

After two years of not that much practice, i passed Windows Normal at the first time without continue. It was Ten Desires obviously. I had my best around 140-160kk, then i tried yesterday and I gained 170, then 200, then I passed the whole game finally with Sanae with 220. I tried this with Reimu too, and I finished with 270 and all spellcards captured without the Miko's last one.

I hate Swimming Shot so much right now.
I could've captured the card with 404 shots taken but NOOOOOOOOOO instead kill me while I was taking shot five.
Anyway, Stage 10 of Double Spoiler is now clear. Compared to 9, Stage 10 was mediocre, the entire stage's shot pool not even 1/3 of 9's requirement.
-
I think I finally finished designing my LLS route! Just need to run through it with savestates now to see if it'll meet my score goals :>. Then some practice for consistency, and finally the full run!
EDIT: Yep, it's all perfect. Just gotta do this in a real run now...

Almost made a blind 1cc of Fairy Wars Route C1. Is this route supposed to be really easy or something?
Anyway, made it to the spell where the three fairies fires aimed fireballs at your position that split up into random bullets in all directions. Only that, a non-spell and two more spells to go and I would've won.
Though, i didn't know what to do about this spell so it claimed a few lives. Midboss claimed lives due to stupidity too. Will clear this route later.

You hexidecimal'd the score counter.
On Normal it shouldn't be that easy, good job.
Double Spoiler Stage 10 is up (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_G73fm8p3I&feature=youtu.be)
Just cleared Double Spoiler Stage 11. Ass Cards of the Stage are 11-3 and 11-7, which are practically the same only 11-7 is more asinine than 11-3. A video should be up tomorrow since I will be at school :V But for now, processing!
-
Nice progress Esu. Inspired by your efforts, i decided to go for a playthrough of Double Spoiler too. Also since I forgot to move over my score.dat file from my old computer so i kinda have to make a new one.
Right now I've been playing for 36 minutes and I've made it to Level 7. I don't know if that's fast. It probably isn't. Iirc i was at 23 minutes when I reached level 6 which for some reason took a long time. I might be remembering that part wrong.
Also, throwing it out there that 6-5 is a badass card.
-
I made it to Level 7 in 34 minutes in my all scenes RTA (final time 2:27:30 or so), so you're not too far behind that :V
Said run also reached Stage 12 nearly an hour later, and finished it just under 2 hours in.
I should do another with the goals of subbing 2 hours. But 9-6, 9-7 and EX-5 exist........
-
Hey guys, been a long time since I posted anything here, prolly like 3-4 months lol. My laptop finally gave out at the end of the school year, and since I got my new comp I hadn't played Touhou that much until about last week. Since then, I had a couple breakthroughs.
Cleared SoEW Normal: This achievement makes me appreciate the focus key SO MUCH
Cleared LLS Hard (like 2 days ago): For some odd reason I had the desire to try LLS hard and randomly cleared in one try. Odd that I also cleared normal on my first try when i opened the game the first time.
And now for the reason I actually decided to make a post.
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. I DON'T EVEN. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23677)
I was messing around with IN normal trying to score 2 billion. After almost managing it (even with 3 of Kaguya's Last Spell rush failed). I decided it would be a laugh to attempt Lunatic. After derping around stage 2 for a while, the above happened, and I really don't even know what to think right now. It's been almost 2 years since I first got into Touhou (IN was my first one) and I guess it's only fair that the same game was my first Normal, Hard and Lunatic 1cc, though it wasn't the first Extra I cleared because Fujiyama Volcano. I still kinda think it was an out of body experience because I had only reached Kaguya 1 other time in an actual run, though I had done a small amount of spell practice. Anyway, I guess it's time to start working on the rest of the Lunatics then. I am now re-motivated to play Touhou due to this miracle of a run (but I will definitely be playing GW2 a lot as well). Any suggestions for my next one? I'm thinking MoF because of the vast availability of bombs but am considering EoSD because I like it a lot and TD because I've actually gotten to the stage 5 boss before.
Anyway, sorry for ranting but I guess I'm just pretty psyched about this. Congrats to anyone else's achievements I have missed in my detachment from technology.
EDIT: Fixed replay link. I had a different replay page open and just copied the URL like an idiot :O
-
Wow, that's awesome. You linked to the wrong replay though <_<
PCB and MoF are both good targets next, I'd say they're about equal in difficulty but for different reasons. If you choose the latter, just make sure to practice VoWG beforehand. <_<

Timed out Spin the Cephalic Plate (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KuOV5mi4J4).

YAHOO!
That sounds cheesy, but EoSD Hard 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23683)
I probably managed it thanks to clearing four of Patchouli's spells somehow, not to mention a perfect stage 6 up to Remilia. I even had enough resources left over to derp thrice in total and lose five bombs. Which isn't something to be proud of. But I still am.
On to the fifth in line - Ten Desires!
-
Lunatic C1 cleared (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23693) :toot: I think this was also my first perfect run of Stage 1.
(Extra slowdown is due to Sunny's second non-spell and Luna's first boss spell)
Things didn't go so well after Lily White, but I did manage to capture Luna's purple flower card for the first time. Having previously lost a run to Fairy Overdrive, I learned the hard way that it's best to save a bomb for the last non-spell: one well-timed bomb will clear it, but it can easily claim two lives otherwise. At least this version of Luna's first boss spell is actually possible :V
-
PCB Extra Stage cleared without Dying, Bombing, or Focused Movement, capturing all spellcards using ReimuA.
Derped one border during a non-spell, though, so it's not truly up to par with my other run.
But according to the uploader, the only one of its kind with this shot type (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23696)
-
Finally got Hard 1cc on TD! 5th one down. (4, 7, 8, 9, 13). Somehow did it with 3 lives leftover after only even making it to stage 6 once before.
-
I tried to Kinkaku-ji.
I took the photos at the wrong time and the blue and green bullets overlapped eachother.
I survived that shit.
TAKE THAT KAGUYA YOU MOON BITCH
-
I captured Star Sword Apologetics in under 200 shots without zooming. :V
-
Another EoSD Hard 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23709) here.
I thought I would use MarisaB for this one (because Master Spark and "easy" Patchouli fight), but Reimu's speed really makes going through walls micrododging easier.
Still died a few times with bombs in stock and finished with 0/0, but who cares...
So, EoSD and PCB cleared ; guess I'll go back to banging my head against VoWG :V

Skipped stage 4? I'm definitely not trying to do them in order; this stage just happened to be the easiest of the second-half stages that I've played in the last few months when practicing for a higher Lunatic score. (Besides, PCB stage 4 is really boring.)

HA! Suck it Kaguya and Hourai Jewel! I finally captured you and every other spell card in Stage 6B! Hourai Jewel is such an unfun card. Basically you're just listening for the cue to turn the stream, and making sure you aren't colliding with the round bullets. Ugh I hate it so much. Hourai Jewel took 50 tries to capture, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out what Kefit meant by the YELLOW ONES, so I just winged it :V. Also, another fun fact, the card with the second largest number of tries was Dragon Necklace Normal at 37. Some of those might have been from a long while ago, but whatever. I still remember that I had more difficulty with that one than the Lunatic version, which only took me 2 tries.
I only have like 15 more cards to capture until I get 99% of the spell cards captured! I say 99% because I absolutely refuse to attempt to capture Hourai Elixir Lunatic. I really hate cards that literally bore you to death while you wait for the actual hard part to kick in at like 20 seconds left.
But for now though, I'll be happy with my Hourai Jewel capture and return to bashing my head against VoWG.

Oh God yes I captured PWG and Hydro Camouflage. I got extremely lucky on both, though the latter isn't THAT tough. It just messes with my eyes in all the wrong ways. Now I only have VoWG left to capture before I'll have captured all MoF cards... But I highly doubt that my VoWG capture will be coming any time soon. I guess now is the time to start practicing more SA though, since I can pretty reliably get to Kanako with most characters now. Once I get there though, the only real threat is VoWG, so basically once I get that down Kanako should be much less intimidating.

Played through DS Level 12. Took 25 minutes so i guess approximately 3 minutes per spell.
Though it was mostly thanks to Byakuren's god awful first scene. But it's Byakuren, her scenes are pretty awful all around. At least good ol' Nue is still around to provide some fun even though i capped most of her scenes almost immediately. They're easy but at least they're not trial n' error. The one with the blue and red knives tied me over for an embarassing amount of time though.
I dunno, 46 shots for a 6 shot scene. I should really stop whining.

Played through DS Level 12. Took 25 minutes so i guess approximately 3 minutes per spell.
I dunno, 46 shots for a 6 shot scene. I should really stop whining.
Continued on from my previous 42 minute score dat, stage 12 shot counts were as follows: 5 11 10 13 8 6 83 26
I have 99/108 at 2 hours and 2 minutes now, 12-7 sucks (and 9-7 took exactly 100 photos)
I'm definitely not ready for an all clear speedrun at this point.
IHNN, what do you recon as a submittable Hatate unlocking run time? I'm thinking nothing more than 38 minutes (game time) would be acceptable for a benchmark submission. Also thinking that it might be viable to choose quick scenes like 6-5 because they are much faster even if they might be a little bit risky.
I captured Star Sword Apologetics in under 200 shots without zooming. :V
Great job!! That one is definitely the hardest non-lucky scene in DS for me.
Clicky (http://i.imgur.com/sSWsx.png)
And that's PCB Extra 1b on every shot type. I'm moving on for now, it'd be nice to revisit and improve the shot-types I grew to like (ReimuA, MarisaB, SakuyaA). Some day.
Phantasm? Lunatic? Normal? Alcohol? Time will tell.
Figured linking the image via 4chan instead of imgur would be a bad idea
Great! Looking forward to see what you'll do next! You are awesome!

I know if I were to go for it I'd aim for 35-40 minutes at first, but I haven't tried Hatate yet (just all scenes, final in-game time was 2:21 for direct comparison)
Going off the IL times somewhere around 25 minutes would be possible...

I'm not sure if getting around 25 minutes is possible since game-time (that is displayed in the scene selection screen) is counted normally while stuff like photo slowdown is happening, meaning spoiler levels are obviously much longer than they seem going by the scene timer.

I finished up the DS playthrough now. Took a four bloody hours and twenty minutes. Very disappointed in this but whatever. I'm not trying for a better time after having the displeasure of playing some of the really annoying scenes in there such as 9-4, 9-7, 10-6, 10-5, 11-7, 11-3, 12-1 and Ex-5 and 6.
Other than those rotten eggs i had quite a lot of fun though. 4:20 is not that bad a time again is it. Considering I had to spend time to figure out puzzle cards all over because I forgot how to do them? (Well, some of them.)

Oh, forgot to post this, but I guess it's an achievement.
Finally recorded the LP of Touhou 11 on Lunatic with MariPatchy, so expect that to be uploaded whenever youtube feels alright with it (a day or so)!
Also, all this talk about DS... guess I have alot to look forwards to :V

As far as I know this is a world record, so hooray!! Replay will come once I improve this more.
Looking forward to seeing it.
As for an accomplishment of my own: since I was dissatisfied with the PCB Lunatic score that was visible on my recent stage 5 perfect run, I decided to improve it (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23730) (complete with my first Resurrection Butterfly 80% capture in a full run). This also means I've now reached 1.1 billion in all four main difficulties of PCB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/index.php?u=karisa&g=7&t=0&c=1&order=score&sort=DESC). Not yet for Extra/Phantasm though.

IN Hard 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23733)
Used Border Team because I'm bad at micrododging with Alice/Remi.
Stage 4 went ten times better than expected, captured Double Spark for the first time.
Finished 3/2 after bombing nearly all of Kaguya's stuff (and running straight into the first bullet on every last spell).
@Chirpy : grats on the world record.

I know this sounds haughty but...
Why would you be concerned with Kinkaku-Ji when I just cleared the entire game as Aya?
Oh and just stating again, Illusionary Dominance as a final card was REALLY disappointing.

Here, let me flip this around.
Why would you be concerned with clearing the entire game with Aya when Namazu did it in a tenth of the time?
Answer: because it's an accomplishment to you. So clearly clearing 9-7 was an accomplishment to fonduemaster. You get what I'm saying? (it's that accomplishments are relative and not absolute if they were absolute very few of us what have nothing to say)
Also shut up SP-9 is best scene :V
-
Also shut up SP-9 is best scene :V
I did it in one try.
More specifically
I did it in one try. The kid that sucked at Orreries' Solar System because he sucked at remembering laser hitboxes.
I mean all that SP-9 is, is an overglorified rehash. All it does is increase rank, no second or third phase. Don't get me wrong, it's fun and all, but for a Double Spoiler card it's easy and for a final card it's disappointing. I mean, Shiki's Crystal Mirror as a final pre-EX spell was wonderful as a final spell. It DESERVED a spot as final spell, as cruel as it can be at times. We've seen Illusionary Dominance before, though. That's the thing. If we hadn't seen it before I would have thought it was a good final spell but the only thing that's worse than insulting the fans by including Shinki's attacks but not Shinki or Mima is making the final, anticipated spell of the game a rehash of a Stage 4 spell that's not even as hard because photography.
TLDR version: SP-9 doesn't deserve its spot, Crystal Mirror was a much better final spell, excluding EX.
Answer: because it's an accomplishment to you. So clearly clearing 9-7 was an accomplishment to fonduemaster. You get what I'm saying? (it's that accomplishments are relative and not absolute if they were absolute very few of us what have nothing to say)
Yes but the topic at hand was that I had cleared the entirety of Double Spoiler as Aya. I'm not saying anything mean about Fondue nor thinking it, I just think it odd that Fondue brought up 9-7 when the last card I played was SP-9.
-
:derp:
e: Wait I'm not trying to focus on kinkaku-ji, I know that unlocking hatate is a big accomplishment, but kinkaku-ji is arguably one of the more harder cards and if you clear that it's a good accomplishment. Nowhere as big as getting Hatate.
Oh and yes, I agree SP-9 was kinda of a disappointment, ZUN could've at least added a twist to it. IMO he needs someone in the creative department.
-
Yeah, that memorization-fest Mirror thing is so much better than unlimited PWG spell practice. How disappointing it was to find one of the coolest spells from MoF reused in DS without being defiled by some dumb gimmick! >=[

Who wants to make the English patch??

Um, it happened again... (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23753)
So after saying I was going to do MoF next, I played through for about 2 hours and unlocked the stages (god stage 6 was annoying as hell to unlock). Then I decided hey what the hell I might as well unlock the PCB stages since it's a lot easier to unlock them. Then I remembered I love PCB, mostly because I swear the music inspires me to do crazy things. I did a few practice runs on each stage, along the way capturing every card except for Sumizone and 80% reflowering, both of which I got within 2 seconds of capturing at least once.
Today I was just messing around seeing how far I could get on 1 credit. Over the course of 2 hours, I went from failing mid stage 4 to failing just prior to midboss youmu in stage 5. One or two runs later, I finally break through and get to Youmu. I beat her (not great but I wasn't really expecting much considering the amount of practice I put in) and move on to stage 6 where I use getting max power to clear the massive spam without a bomb. I failed ageless obsession :( and figured I wouldn't stand a chance against Yuyuko with 1/4. Guess I was wrong lol.

Nice job, good luck with Suwako, she was my first EX clear. Her fight isn't too bad, since most spells have a "relatively" easy trick or path that can make them repeatable.

At least Crystal Mirror wasn't a rehash of something we've already seen. It's rather fun IMO I recall playing it (Although not capturing) when I used someone else's save because I wanted to see the end of the game. I can say it's much more fun than randomly-falling green needles. I'm not saying Illusionary dominance is BAD, I just don't think it's that fun of a card, nor do I think it's a good spell to be using in the spot of "Last Spell of the Game". Given, Crystal Mirror wasn't EVEN the last spell of the game, but it was worth being called a last spell.
DS Stage Spoiler Clear, with my music added in because DS' soundtrack fucking sucks. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PU2fLv29Nq0&feature=youtu.be)

Now at stage 9 in StB, and I'm liking it far better than stage 8. It's much more regular read 'n dodge.
Captured Red Stone of Eli-jahEija (prolly misspelled). It's strange when I capture things in stage 9 while I'm not even done in stage 5 yet.
-
Lunatic C2 cleared! A lot of tricky parts in Stages 2 and 3 and a lot of deaths, but I still managed to get one of my better scores somehow.
And with that, every route has been done on Lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/index.php?u=Ridley+64&g=128&p=&t=--&d=4&c=1&ch=0)! :dragonforce:

MoF Hard 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23767)
I'm on fire these days :V
Stage 4 went quite well, so I had two stupid deaths in stage 5 to balance things a bit.
Got like 75% of VoWG without bombing/dying before it turned into "oh sh*t".
SA Hard it is now, then... (or maybe TD)

I just unlocked the StB extra stages :V

Unintentionally did a perfect Normal Futo fight. Not the stage, though.

Played Hourai Jewel for the first time in a month and captured it while forgetting what the infamous trick was. <_<
-
Play through UFO lunatic Stage 6 a few times using the cheat tables to be able to try to capture everything at full power without fear of game overing.
almost get basically everything, except first nonspell (cap every time) 3rd nonspell (capped once) and...LFS!?!?!?
Byakuren isn't that fun [yet] though, so I know I'm bombing everything if/when I get there.
Because seriously everything is either luck or memo as far as I can tell.

/me gnashes teeth and howls into the night
For your information, exactly one attack of hers is nothing but memorization, and that is her second spell card. Everything else has its own strategy, but nothing is up to luck.
-
Superhuman feels pretty memo to me >.>
Her 1st, 3rd and 4th come down to luck for me. (though yes I know Devil's Recitation is dodging)
3rd and 4th nonspells are "do they clip me or not"
2nd nonspell is stupid.
Got her 4th nonspell twice in a row anyway.
-

It would appear that we have become brothers in arms.
Seriously, though, she's got one memorization Spellcard (though I guess you could say that the fourth NS-Pattern does count to a certain degree since it has directional elements), but everything else has little to do with memorization, fairly sure that the penultimate Spellcard is random, even though the basic layout is static. If you feel that it's all about luck, you simply need more practice. I'm 100% sure that you'll be able to make progress there and, subsequently, have more fun, so don't be too quick to give up, you'd be missing out on a lot.
-
There's a specific way to do Superhuman, but it is not completely static and requires skill to dodge.
First spell card is very hard, but has a strategy to it.
Third spell card has a general rhythm that makes it very doable.
Fourth spell card is both very neat and very fair.
Second non-spell has a rhythm to it.
Third non-spell is straight reading.
Fourth non-spell has a trick but still requires reading to do effectively.
So basically, everything you call "luck" is a lot more attributable to you not knowing how to handle it. :T Call me overreacting, but I think that mindset will only hold you back, because you're thinking "oh this is luck so I probably won't win."

Everything I called "luck" specifically requires good RNG for me to be able to do it.
I'd like to know those methods then.
Devil's Recitation I almost just captured, but I got hit by the arrow wall.
I did capture Magic Butterfly and Magic Milky Way though.
-
Since you've been able to come this far, I hope you realize it's not as simple as giving you the method. -^o I can tell you how I do them, but they are by no means 100% capture rates, nor are they all there is to the card. If you really want to get good at Byakuren (or any of UFO for that matter), you'll have to commit to a lot of playing. Study replays, too.
Free tip for Superhuman though: Stick to the left. Do not move from the lower left region of the screen.
-
I don't expect to always capture this stuff, what I do want to know how to capture it so that should I get there with no bombs it's not a guaranteed death.
Sticking to the left on Superhuman instakills me when Byakuren charges up due to not being able to see the bullets though the effect.
edit: yay Devil's Recitation capture in only 7 tries.
edit2: on attempt numbers 9 and 11 I got her 2nd nonspell and Cloudy Way in Purple, respectively. Just need Superhuman and I've captured everything in lunatic Stage 6.
edit3: attempt number 17 FINALLY captured Superhuman. Next up I might as well grind out Stage 5 because that's at least fun unlike Stage 3 and not incredibly random like Stage 4.
-
'Blind' Lunatic clear of Fairy Wars C2. Really easy route. Nothing too difficult and not many trick spells. Still died a lot of stupid times but whatever. Now I've only got C1 left to clear but I honestly don't feel much like it.
It is certainly a harder route than my first impressions of it had led me to believe. I thought it was just another easy route but Stage 2 on that route is really difficult. Plus the Three Fairies has a few attacks that really rape me due to a lack of understanding them which is another thing that makes it increasingly more aggravating that there's no practice feature so I can stop wasting time on the boring first stage.
-
I just captured on of Okuu's spells. I ACTUALLY captured one of Okuu's spells! Fixed Star, bro!

Unintentionally did a perfect Normal Futo fight. Not the stage, though.

Nice fight with Futo, watching your replay now I think that Futo looks like Sanae, her last spellcard is her easiest one ( at least on normal level ) :P
Nice job, good luck with Suwako, she was my first EX clear. Her fight isn't too bad, since most spells have a "relatively" easy trick or path that can make them repeatable.
Thank you, and Kanako's spellcards in extra level looks pretty tough.
And as my accomplishment, today I captured for the first time Ran's Ultimate Buddhist :V
-
uhh, remember back then when i said I wanted UFO to be my next 1cc lunatic? yeah, it didn't happen :v
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23775
I cleared PCB instead. I know the run doesn't look pretty with a death against mid-boss chen and a botched up stage 4-6, but...man, PCB is easy. it always left the impression on being difficult and I have no idea why, now that I played it. I fought youmu like...3 times before this run. I know I only captured half her spells, but still.
what I am really embarrassed about is that I failed reflowering like that. man, that was horrible. I think I have to go back practice on SFN. it can't be that I die on it. that's just....just no. overall, I captured 14 out of 24 spells. that's more than half :v that's a better average than on my other first 1ccs lol.
anyway now with PCB cleared the only maingames that remain are EoSD and UFO. perhaps PoFV if you count it. and every PC-98, but uh...yeah. reasons. (and GFW for spin-offs, but oh well :v). I dunno about either, really. UFO is fucking hard and I am trying a lot recently, but man...byakuren still rapes me in practice mode and I haven't even touched any other stage yet. and as for EoSD...I have to re-learn that game probably. I haven't touched it in months. TILL NEXT TIME :V
and not to say that I am cool because of that or something, but I started this run at 2.30 am :v
-
YES!!! I DID IT!!! PCB Extra, clear! Finally!
Massive panic at Izuna Gongen, but I had enough resources to pull through!
[attach=1]
But after that my mom walked in and yelled at me for playing Touhou at this hour...
But it wasn't enough to put a damper on my mood!
EDIT: Why is there no Phantasm to select?
-
Thank you, and Kanako's spellcards in extra level looks pretty tough.
The first one isn't too bad if you can micrododge pretty well. The second will take a few tries but it's basically just memorizing a path and the third ond is pseudo-static, just do pretty much the same thing every time and you should be fine. Just try not to be too stubborn like I always am and just play out every run (I always try too hard to do everything perfectly) or it will make things take 10 times longer than they should have.
-
EDIT: Why is there no Phantasm to select?
Because you need to capture enough spells.
-
Because you need to capture enough spells.
Yeah, I just found that out. Whoops, silly me for not being informed.

Because of all the talk about UFO lunatic lately, I decided to give the full game a run for the first time in ages.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23781
:derp:
I have no idea what happened on stage 5. My UFO chain that I have practiced so well just...refused to happen. I swear the UFOs were completely different colors than normal, which has never happened before. Oh well, it all worked out.
-
PCB Phantasm 90FPS clear. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCT1GWOqfF8)
-
60 spell cards captured.
NOW I have Phantasm.
-
I was considering posting this in the fail thread instead, but, well, fuck.
I just tried playing Byakuren's stage no-focus.
For starters, I perfected the stage portion while waltzing through the bullet fairies and summoning a good amount of UFOs, but that's kind of plausible.
I was close to capping the SECOND nonspell, third spell and DEVIL'S RECITATION, by a SLIVER OF HEALTH. The former and latter I have a capture rate of just about 5/100. (I'm assuming as much for the nonspell)
I got the third and fourth nonspells too, as well as Superhuman, in which I pulled some crazy vertical dodging.
All without focusing even once.
I know when I get lucky. This wasn't one of those times. I just straight up dodged that shit.
Too bad LFS is a brick wall. I would be considering NF UFO Lunatic otherwise.
e: Oh yeah, I remembered that Butterfly exists halfway through. That was a fun trainwreck.
-
Focus mode is the root of all evil. I think that when you refuse to use it, you end up make some dodges that wouldn't have occurred to you otherwise.
So yeah, go for that no focus run. At the very least, you'll learn from it.
-
Well, fair enough, it seems kind of out of reach for now, but I'll never get better if I don't try.
*Cue Kogasa's nonspells*
NEVERMIND.

GFW A-1 lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23798)
First clear of any route on lunatic, somehow managed to have 8 lives to spare. This is the strongest clear.
I should have cleared this a while ago but didn't have the motivation due to Stage 1/2 failures, but Cirno Day allowed me to push through that and do...this.

I captured both Mega Flare and Fixed Star.
My victory was short-lived, though. :(

Took a short break from perfection practice for a quick run that turned into a PoFV lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23807). Could have been a little more flashy, but a victory's a victory.

Zil, I always thought the root of all evil was In's deathbombing system :v but yeah, being too used to focus will screw you up bad. just a week ago I failed a PoDD run because i couldn't focused and were too fast for me to dodge :v it was on easy, too, so I can see where you're coming from.
that aside, let's contribute.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23810
my first EoSD 1cc on lunatic. I am surprised myself, but man, that was awesome. even though my spell-capture rate in the 2nd half of the run decreased extremely, I didn't exactly do horrible. I got used to the "first clears don't look pretty" rule, so I don't mind. and the only one where I really didn't manage to capture anything was remilia :v I did well against scarlet gensokyo, though and game close to capture vampire illusion. and young demon lord :v lol
but yeah, this only leaves UFO as a main-game. and a whole lotta spin-offs. it's ridiculous how I can clear every other main-game, but game over on stage 4 in UFO - in a good run xD

Managed to make to Shou with SanaeB for the first time :D
e: I also gameover'd at her last spell D:

Just managed to beat Patchouli without dying with Marisa A. If that sounds a bit lower caliber than normal, note that I tried for MONTHs to do this the first time. At max rank Marisa A Patchouli is an absolute killer. >_o Bombed her first two spell cards, but somehow managed to survive her last three.

Watched it, you are awesome!! I bet it feels amazing to achieve a WR.
Have you tried slipping through the rings in Minoriko's first spell as they make the last pause before expanding? Maybe it's useless if you still have to wait for another wave to get the most faith.
-
Very nice Nereid! Congrats!
-
Finally captured every spell in Imperishable Night with Ghost Team! I had 200 or so with them a while back, the rest with assorted other characters, and only now have I finally gotten through the poorly designed piece of garbage that is Alice's Last Word with them.
Seriously, if anyone can tell me how that's a good card, I'm listening.
It's memorization and nothing more.

It's hard, but doing that would probably finish the spell one wave earlier. The spell bonus would be somewhere around 100k higher maybe, but I didn't think it was worth the extra risk considering all the other places where I could have done better. I only ended Stage 1 with something like 146k faith, whereas my best is somewhere like 149k, which would already be a few million points more in the end. The Stage 1 faith count mostly comes down to luck, anyway; nothing else is so dependent on getting favourable boss movements.
And thanks everyone :o

-
Died to the 4th non. (http://i.imgur.com/uB91b.png) Decided to finish it anyway. Died to the non right after that, did not care. Died to DBDB in a really stupid way, decided to go on. Died to DBF's second wave. Hahaha that was a good one.
-
And hey, some shitruns later, I achieved 1b Phantasm on every shot. I guess easymode is up next. The Phantasm runs were really bad, so I am hoping to return to it some day. - 1,1b on every shot would sound like a better goal, but maybe I could reach 1,2b, if I played really well and improved the routes a bit. Oh well, that's the future, so nobody knows for sure. I'll blog more some day.

Nevermind then, play the way you want to, it seems to be working so far! I just like seeing extra scoring tricks and stuff.

Congrats on the WR. Lots of dedication needed for those.
Meanwhile, that's the second time I've perfected S5 Nazrin without focused movement. Actually, I missed perfecting the entire stage to the stupid spam part. >:L

Not sure if anyone else has one currently (at least for the Windows games (http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/High_scores), I don't know how to determine if any PC-98 records here are WR), but dot_asp used to have the record for UFO Extra MarisaA for about a month last April, and I know I've seen Heartbeam several times in the WR history.

So close to 1M Cherrymax! (http://i.imgur.com/EDxMh.png)
This was... unexpected. I rarely play on ReimuB and the route is really odd for me, which lead into the run being clouded by deaths. Six of them, in total. I did totally not expect to make a new personal Cherrymax record and a new personal high-score. The run was O.K. I could definetly get that 1,5b, this was encouraging.
Normal seems like a really good difficulty in PCB, I like it a lot. The game's system is really interesting as well, and I still have a long way to go to fully learn it. And while my scores are rather low, achieving those numbers feels pretty darn good.
Huf, maybe I'll stall my "get a score for every shot on every difficulty"-thing for a while and do some more Normal. Maybe.

PoFV Lunatic 1cc - Reisen (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23844)
The game that's given me more ire than UFO.
It also has a cruel sense of humor; out of 5 rounds versus Eiki, only two passed the two minute mark. Then there's that time with Marisa when I passed the 2:30 mark twice and got past 3:00 once and didn't get the 1cc. Not that I played badly this time, but I did have some unbelievable deaths as per usual. Random spirits, fairies spawning at idiotic locations, releasing the charge button too early and thinking you're invincible, somehow triggering the bomb button on accident, the works.
Thank you Seiga & IHNN for prompting me to do this. Jesus crap I'm done with this game for a while though.
Fun fact: Score was 122144590, but my high score is 128540400, in a run where I failed to 1cc. How close would that be to a WR after considering clear bonus?
-
How close would that be to a WR after considering clear bonus?
Assuming this is a serious question, I don't think anyone keeps track of world records in this game. The high score on this site (my own) is 144mil, but there's only one other score on the list, so it doesn't mean much. In any event, you get 10mil per extra life remaining, and assuming you cleared on the last life instead of dying, you wouldn't get any extra life bonus. IIRC, the clear bonus on the last stage is usually ~30mil, depending on how many rounds you played against Eiki herself, so I guess you'd be at about 160mil.
And by the way, to be honest, I think PoFV is harder than UFO, at least with the crummy characters.
-
If I recall correctly, the only reason I got so high was because I lost plenty of lives (which resulted in huge end-of-'stage' bonuses). I'm pretty sure I got to Eiki with around one spare life (two tops) so I don't think I would have gotten as much as 30 mil.
-
1cc pofv with Tewi. I like her since her unfocused speed is slow. I never have to press the focus button (I can't incorporate good usage of it in this game anyway, tap to shoot is the reason I think)
I cleared with Reimu (easy) and Aya/Medicine (joke chars I guess) before too. Which characters are hardest to clear with? Lunatic mode

Heartbeam also has a WR scene in DS and Dodgeball has one in StB.
Anyway, I tried some Yoshika in spell practice and managed to capture heal by desire while farming enough spirits to enter trance (if it had been done in the actual route), waiting with the final slash for 4 spirits to spawn and everything! Maybe 2 billion Youmu Normal in TD will be reached one day?
-
Which characters are hardest to clear with? Lunatic mode
It's hard to say definitively. Personally I had the most difficulty with Sakuya, Youmu, and Lyrica. Partly because it's hard to earn extends as those characters, and also because they're just hard to use. Weird movement speed and scope styles, etc.
Mystia's not so bad because her scope has good distance and comes out quickly. Her ability to attract the spirits also helps a bit, I think.
-
Dang, my first try with Lyrica got so close to the 1cc, she didn't seem so bad to me. I liked playing as her too so that will be my next goal I think. Don't like playing as Sakuya or Youmu at all, unfortunately
-
On Lunatic?
Also, define 'so close'. The game can stall you at the final round for as long as it wants. :V
-
Mystia also gets a relatively easy stage 7 and stage 8.
-
And finally I get my Fairy Wars Lunatic clear of C-1. This route was quite a lot harder than I had initially anticipated but 5 credits later it's finally done. The route had quickly become annoying since all of my attempts would make it halfway through the three fairies fight and all include a boatload of stupefyingly dumb mistakes.
This run also included a lot of mistakes but it also demonstrated some pretty cool resource management and a nice capture of a hard as hell non-spell in the three fairies fight so I'm overall happy with it. Finished with four remaining lives. I'm thinking about uploading a video of it since my channel doesn't have a Lunatic clear of Fairy Wars so it might as well get the hardest route.
-
On Lunatic?
Also, define 'so close'. The game can stall you at the final round for as long as it wants. :V
Yes
By 'so close' I mean Shiki has been on her last hit for a long while. Also my Shikieiki fights go past 2:30. It's very hard to know just when she will take that final blow.
-
And it's done :) Took 4 attempts and I felt that I was very close on two of the failed ones. http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23849
Check out the Shikieiki fights, I like my dodges. Almost broke the 3-minute mark round 2 and 3.
-
Oh hey, nice clears, guys.
From my experience Mystia's speed can get you killed unless you're used to the game. In terms of basic management, maybe Sakuya or Lyrica. I never liked Cirno either, but that might be just me. And Youmu is wonderful!
.
-
Personal stuff, keeping to the PCB. ReimuA is a lovely shot. (http://i.imgur.com/9Sou4.png) One of the things I will certainly return, I just like the mode and the shot too much. I think Normalmode might be this game's best part, but then again I don't have much experience with the other parts (actually, I don't have that much experience on normal, either). Must keep heading onwards, enough time was wasted looking backwards.
-
ok, ok. after reading what zengeku told me about suwa wars, I decided to give it a try and everything.
good thing: it worked.
bad thing: it wasn't a perfect extra stage :v
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23851
I perfected the suwako fight on the first try after knowing how to deal with suwa wars. the bad thing is I died against some small fairies in the stage :v twice. I'll admit I didn't pay the attention I probably should have paid, but that's beside the point. posting here because a perfect bossfight overrules th hilarity that is called failure :v in this case at least. but yeah, this is a big step towards the perfect run for MoF extra I'd say. god, I am still laughing. But yeah, I wasn't exactly sure where to post this.
-
good thing: it worked.
bad thing: it wasn't a perfect extra stage :v
and that is exactly why I reset to every stage death when I went for it.
-

Nice, Suwa War is goddamn annoying until you figure out a path, then it becomes trivial.
Yeah I perfected the boss before the stage too, then it took 50+ tries because I didn't know Suwa War or Red Frog.
Good luck :)
-
bad thing: it wasn't a perfect extra stage :v
Nice. That means you're pretty much done. Perfecting Suwako is definitely the hardest part about this since the stage is a joke. Good luck when going for it.
-
Slightly on-topic: pacifying the stage portion has taught me that Kanako's nonspell (her first pattern) would have been amazingly fun if it were more dense. Bullets with tiny hitboxes coming at you from three directions at random formations, the potential is there.
-
All this Touhou 11 lunatic stage 5 perfect practice has helped alot with getting past it with minimal deaths, I guess...
Just tried a no-bomb of the game on lunatic, and got all the way to Orin's final non before gaming over (That non, I swear to all that is great, why am I so inconsistent on it...) (I had a perfect mid-boss though, hurray!). I had quite a few silly deaths so I reckon a no-bomb clear of the game is actually pretty possible thanks to that. I guess that's an achievement of a sort... don't really know where to post this weird moment. :wat:
Still, not really focusing on a no-bomb yet, can't for the life of me do DBDB or Insect's Nest without at least 1 death to each every time.
-

I just played a run of Extra and you're right. It's actually a pretty fun attack. Timed it out without trouble since it isn't hard but a bit more bullets and a bit more life and it could become a pretty nice attack. Finished off that run with an almost perfect Suwako too. Died on Red Frog (fuck it) but otherwise perfect.
And a delicious dodge on Suwa War. I moved down a bit too slow and was starting to get boxed in by the tiny bullets but i made it through the gap and survived :)
-
PoFV-talk makes me happy.
The PoFV extra-life bonus is essentially a non-factor if you're playing for score. Between the points you get within a round and whatever queer tally points you get at the end, you won't have lost much, if anything, if you've been able to hold the guage or whatever at bonus for a respectable length of time (I'd guess 30-40 seconds spread out over a 2.5/3-minute match, though you obviously get more points later in the match when there're more bullets to cancel).
I found Komachi and Sakuya to be the hardest. I suppose that Mystia (like Komachi and Lyrica) can be hard since the only hits you'll get on the computer will be from the internal timer, but her bonus thingy of having spirits fly toward her focus-mabob means that it'll be a lot easier to clear dot-spam. But I also like fast characters so ymmv. edit: you can get enough extends to make all three of these easier than Sakuya. /edit
And Youmu is wonderful!
The moest wonderful~
Youmu becomes much easier once you learn the shoot-cut rhythm (and the use of invincibility frames) for hectic times and once you learn to time lvl2 charging for when there's a large enough fairy-chain explosion, which will allow you to keep your points from dropping to zero. edit: she's still tough, though; probably second-hardest behind Sakuya. /edit
Cirno gets much easier once you learn to the rhythm of freezing and lvl2-ing (I found that playing for score helped this) and once you get the hang of moving up to activate spirits (after a lvl2, when it's safe to move up) for bullet cancelling higher on the screen and then moving back down to safer areas. Also, the latter bit is a tactic which will serve you well with every other character that has an area scope (as opposed to an infinite vertical scope).
And by the way, to be honest, I think PoFV is harder than UFO, at least with the crummy characters.
what.
...you crazy.
PoFV
WR
aahahahahahahahaha
-
what.
...you crazy.
That may be! However, I think UFO isn't much different from the other games in that once you've memorized everything and figured out how to fully abuse your resources, it becomes something you can essentially sleepwalk through. Things being basically the same every time and all that. PoFV can't really be trivialized, at least not with the weaker shot types. I would usually end up on my last life against Eiki, and there a single fuck up can take away the whole run, which is a trait UFO lacks.
Of course, it's been a while since I played either of them, and I never did learn to use the level 1 invincibility frames.
-
Decided to try MoF Normal no-bombs with ReimuB. Result: 3DNB the entire game (one death to Aya, and two instances of randomly running into a bullet on later stages). I think I could actually perfect this game on Normal, though the time that would take might be better spent going for a higher score...
-
Made a vid of my Fairy Wars C-1 run.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfgLyuLCCIw
If anyone has time to kill or are struggling with the route, they might wanna check it out since they might learn a thing or two. :)
-
Just captured Magic Butterfly, all of Byakuren's lunatic cards captured! :dragonforce:
Once I capture The 2nd nonspell, I will be able to perfect Byakuren! (but it will be really hard to do)
Also, I can capture LFS consistently now!
-
FUCK YEAH :V
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23864 (with my luck, it desynched)
it's the promised NDNB MoF extra run. score technique-wise it's nothing special :v I let tons of point items drop. mostly because I didn't care enough to risk the run for it. It's still my new high score because I never had a no death run before.
I still hate the red frog, though. I was somehow able to manage it a couple times, but it ended a couple runs, too. it's a total train wreck here as well. you can see me flailing around while trying to around the exploding stuff. I went through the lines a few times, I believe.
but yeah, I managed, and it's true. very satisfying. I know suwako's the easiest extra stage, but it's a start. I am planning to perfect the remaining extras, too. I have no idea how long it will take, though. Q.E.D is painful, I never managed imperishable shooting and I am generally bad against Nue and mamizou. (the latter has this wonderful thing called spell practice though :v)
notable spots that killed me numerous times: the kedama right before kanako. red frog and suwa wars :v
surprisingly, froggy braves for the element killed me only once. sadly, the only spellcards that never killed me were croaking frog, mishguji and seven stones. (though, croaking frog RNG hated me most of the time. this time, too. you'll see that I have to go rather far to the right/left to find a gap I am comfortable with, resulting is close dodged before they exploded. mishaguji was a wreck, because I was shaking like crazy. you'll notice the bullets just barely not killing me numerous times :v luck those hitboxes are tiny)
the funny thing during those attempts is that my iron ring captures got crazier and crazier and the attempt number rose. until I died for the first time :v they normalized themsleves somehow. anyway, this is an achievement I am proud of. I knew I could do it and man, I finally did. I fought suwako around 20 or so. I think. I didn't count, after all. it's difficult to tell which extra I will clear next, but assume it's either Flandre or Mokou :v
-
Awesome job, perfects are always great accomplishments, and extras are always cool. Do you plan to perfect more?
-
Congrats on the perfect.
Flandre is way easier than Mokou, so you might want to go for that first.
QED is a joke compared to Mokou's last non
-
Perfect lunatic Yoshika, by donut's definition of perfect.
I didn't die, bomb or trance, and timed out both spells where she heals herself (of course I tried to capture the first but failed and had to make some crazy dodges) The third spell...no. I had enough nerves trying to just dodge it.
-
Seiga, yes. I plan for all extras. I see no reason as to why stop after Suwako. (unless she was my favorite ex-boss, which she isn't :v Best ex fight is still Flandre :v). I will also see if I can perfect a couple lunatic stages (like SA stage 4,5. MoF stage 4 and 6 etc etc :v). I am not entirely sure if I am up to the challenge for those, but one has to start somewhere to get better. There is no use repeating the same stuff all over again with the same bomb placements, because one is unsure of the capture :v trying to perfect things is maybe the best way to improve on these things.
BUT BUT...MOKOU HAS SPELL PRACTICE :V! Yeah, I was thinking Flan might be easier. Aside from Q.E.D I have no real troublespots coming close a a perfect within 3 seconds left of the spell, whereas I do clip on mokou a lot more. definitely, imperishable shooting, the last non and maybe the other last 3 spells will give me some trouble. Luckily, the stage itself is so easy, it's difficult to actually die outside of mokou in it.
-
For what it's worth, my first (and so far only) perfect extra was Nue, and I know I could also perfect Ran if I put the effort in. You should take a look at those two if you're unsure of who to do next.
-
> Nue
I am horrible at this fight, to be honest. I never evn came close to capture anything of her last 3 spells, and my record on undefined darkness is...unimpressive to say the least. it's probably a matter of practice, but I am not sure if I could do Nue right now. especially since UFO perfects suauyll exlcude summoning UFOs leaving a lot less lives than I usually have :V
but Ran does sound delicious. yah, I have cleared and capture everything she has. just not all in the same run. more or less a matter f putting it together. but we'll see what comes next :v there is no rush.
then again > taking adive of what to perfect next from someone who's a lot better than me
WELL, THAT'LL ESCALATE QUICKLY :V
-
1cc'd PoFV as Marisa, Cirno and Reisen, got them all first try on my stream :)
As Marisa, Shikieiki finally lost at 03:16, 3rd round. Why the hell did it have to take so long!? I can't believe I survived.
As Reisen, I got 160 mil, which is like twice as much as I usually get. Huh.
-
then again > taking adive of what to perfect next from someone who's a lot better than me

I'd say you're about even, but Seiga is a lot more...obsessed with it. You could do what I do and give a few bosses a few try each day and see how that goes-eventually you'll get one pseudo-randomly. I haven't ground away at a perfect since Suwako nearly a year ago.
Seconding the notion to go for Ran-got her first try getting past Charming Siege.
-
then again > taking adive of what to perfect next from someone who's a lot better than me
I wouldn't say that for sure, I haven't perfected Suwako yet in any case. I'd do this, to be honest:give a few bosses a few try each day and see how that goes-eventually you'll get one pseudo-randomly
That's what I do, at least. There's no point in doing it if you aren't enjoying it, and that seems to be the best way to make sure you're having fun.

Done! Finally done!
SA Normal 1cc CLEAR!
[attach=1]
All in all, it didn't give me as much trouble as UFO. Utsuho wasn't as bad as Byakuren. Even though I could bombspam Byakuren like a madman, Utsuho didn't have that many difficult patterns. Just her cards were difficult for me, while Byakuren's non spells AND cards were pretty hard.
And with that, my Windows 1ccs are completes!!!

I wonder why people keep getting TD lunatic clears when it's obviously harder than SA :V
I think that's an easy answer, but this is just my opinion. Consider how much easier TD Hard was than SA Hard. It inspires confidence that "hey maybe I can beat Lunatic" and people will be more likely to practice it. Also stage 4 and 5 of SA Lunatic (mostly from watching other, since I havent unlocked either of them myself) are IMO way harder than in TD, considering I almost perfected Futo before I even 1cced and while Seiga is a bitch shes way easier than Satori.
I know I'm doing MoF next (even though I said I'd do it last week and proceeded to instead clear PCB and TD) but then it's a tossup between SA and EoSD since I havent practiced either of them at all.

TD hard: something like 5 tries
SA hard: 2 tries
:V
Satori is a much easier fight than Seiga, Futo is easier than Orin but that doesn't say much. I mean, Seiga has Tongling Yoshika and tough nonspells, while Satori has...DBDB and Flying Insect's Nest, both of which I'm good at.
Utsuho is easier than Miko.
Really, Yuugi and Orin are the only harder parts of SA and you get more lives and bombs to boot. How is TD easier now :justasplanned:
tl;dr I haven't bothered to grind out a TD lunatic 1cc and probably won't for a while because it's harder and less fun. Maybe after I get a few more boss perfects (like Kyouko for one...)
-
I will tell you how SA is harder: not everyone is good at DBDB and flying insect's nest :v
stage 3-5 are much worse in SA than they are in TD. tried perfecting SA stage 5? have fun. tried TD stage 5? I did the stage pretty much on my first try :v in SA, the stages make up a big part of the difficulty. easy as that.
-
tried perfecting SA stage 5? have fun. tried TD stage 5?
Not seriously but I have gotten every part in only a few tries (except the midboss spell and third boss spell, which took 15 tries and haven't captured due to laziness, repsectively). TD Stage 5 is much more annoying and Futo's nonspells are hard, as is her first spell.
-
Nice!
I wonder why people keep getting TD lunatic clears when it's obviously harder than SA :V
I wonder why people keep not getting TD Lunatic clears when it's obviously the easiest of the Windows games despite its low resources... wait, that doesn't get anywhere.
For me at least, TD Lunatic is way easier than SA Lunatic. It was back when I was trying for the 1cc (TD was my first Windows Lunatic, SA I didn't get until after LLS, TD, PCB, IN, and MoF), and I come much closer now to perfecting TD stage 4/5/6 than I can in SA stage 4/5/6.
SA does have plenty of lives and an easier stage 2/3 boss, but it also has harder stage portions, and denser patterns on average (easier to get clipped on, especially on stage 4 in my experience). Meanwhile, TD's stage portions are nearly trivial (plan a trance for things like the end of stage 5). And (assuming TD Reimu and SA ReimuA) you shouldn't have to use more than 1 bomb on any given boss phase in TD (that's not one of Miko's last three), while I've used 2 bombs on plenty of the harder SA phases (and I remember using 4 on cards like Peta Flare and Hell's Tokamak sometimes).

I guess we just have different preferences lol
For me TD Hard took about 3 or 4 tries whereas SA hard took me a lot more because I am dreadful at DBDB (prolly 15-20% on normal and like 5-10% on hard) and Orin's 2nd and 3rd nonspells (her only hard spell is needle mountain for me). I might agree that Utsuho is easier than Miko condisering she has 2 more spells and by the end of the game you tend to have more resources in SA because of the bomb system.
Seiga might be harder, but not by much for me(I can fairly easily capture seiga's first and last nonspells and spells but I really have never had much success on anything Satori throws at me) Stage 4's in general tend to give me nightmares (as do the bosses) but I would much rather do TD's stage 4 than SA's because there is much less super precise positioning and streaming. I like things that are more read and dodge because they challenge my reflexes as opposed to the more or less robotic streaming of SA's stage 4 with the amulets or continuously getting clipped by the laser grids.
Who knows, maybe I'll do really well when going for SA Lunatic and my argument will be pointless then. Though I doubt I can keep up this ridiculous pace I have of getting clears.
As far as Kyouko is concerned, I never perfected her, at least on lunatic. I seriously planned 2 bombs in my actual route (second nonspell and final spell). Also why are lunatic stage 2 bosses so damn annoying *Points at Mystia and Chen*
-
I perfected Suwako. That makes three.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lpbo71m0Dg4
The stage portion isn't perfect, but that's because I was going for 900 million. (It doesn't matter to me for Extra as long as I don't die or use unplanned bombs.)

TD versus SA
Let's rock.
Of course SA is harder, by the definition of hard being "has more difficult patterns". SA is so flexible with its resources what with infinite bombs that it's barely an issue, though. Then comes TD with the most boring and annoying stages known to man and one Seiga Kaku that has Yosika fire walls at you that will take at least two whole lives away.
Here's a secret: I do not enjoy memorizing a path only to lose ALL my progress to one part of an otherwise TRIVIAL GAME.
It is DEMORALIZING.
It doesn't make you want to PLAY IT.
So, it's HARDER TO BEAT. You can't beat a game if you don't want to.
TD is much less of a problem for the same people that have enough patience to perfect stages and whatnot. Trying to 1cc TD Lunatic is like trying to perfect a stage - one strike and you're out. This isn't how a game's meant to work,
Now, of course I've exaggerated in some of this - Seiga is far from a wall, but it's more of naming a trend than anything else; it's Seiga in one run, Yoshika in another, sometimes even Kyouko if she decides to ram you when you try to farm spirits FOR SURVIVAL (man this game is good). This is all assuming you don't shit all over your strategy with one retarded death to a, any stage portion anyway, I rest my case.
-
Your quality of life will greatly improve once you realize nothing is forcing you to play TD. Spend all this new found time on infinitely better games, like UFO.
-
Let me check if that's pretty much what I've been doing for the past three months.
It is. Okay.
-
Done! Finally done!
SA Normal 1cc CLEAR!
[attach=1]
All in all, it didn't give me as much trouble as UFO. Utsuho wasn't as bad as Byakuren. Even though I could bombspam Byakuren like a madman, Utsuho didn't have that many difficult patterns. Just her cards were difficult for me, while Byakuren's non spells AND cards were pretty hard.
And with that, my Windows 1ccs are completes!!!
Now 1cc the PC98 games.

BT. I know you're a pretty relatively decent player so I'm just gonna give you this advice. Bomb the hell out of anything hard in that game and you'll 1cc the game instantly. I don't know how a player at your level can even have trouble with it. You don't need to farm spirits for survival. Don't do it, especially if it get's you killed.

1) I'm a perfectionist. I already mentioned how I see a TD 1cc just like perfecting a stage.
2) The game is so boring that I want to dodge the hard stuff when it happens. Buh-bye bombs.
3) When I do try Bomb Everything, I'm paranoid that I won't have enough resources to clear the game so I do some crazy stuff during the stages and promptly die.
Whatever, I barely attempt getting this 1cc anyway. It's really not up there in my "I want to do this now" list. It's a stain that I'll clean up eventually.
On-topic, I am totally ready to time out VoWG any day now. 2DNB is easily my average.
-
Nevermind, I'm done.
TD Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23881)
Played well when I had to (Seiga). Even with hilariously bad deaths. At Futo I felt like pressing 'C' instead of 'X' and hilarity ensued.
Done with the integer windows games.

Now go and do hard.
No, give yourself a pat on the back first. Good job.
-
PoFV 1cc'd as Mystia (once again had to survive for over 3 minutes against Shiki, did it 2 separate rounds) and Sakuya. Still missing Youmu, Yuuka, Komachi and Shiki then. Tried Komachi and her scope is balls. So Youmu and Yuuka are next in line, I guess.
TD Lunatic is definitely not very hard and easier than SA Lunatic btw. If you think otherwise my guess is you've just spent a whole lot more time with SA. Of course neither is too bad if you manage your resources and learn the stages.

MY HANDS, STILL SHAKING :V
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23884
perfected Flandre and the stage! I was really worried when I screwed up the beginning section of ATTWN, but I recovered and this is it. the RNG really hated me. I was walled at kagome kagome and whent through the only gap :v god, my hands were shaking the whole time, especially towards the end of Q.E.D. staying under Flan proved being difficult, but had I not done that, I'd have probably lost. so yeah, a really rewarding clear. very satisfied with that run =)
sadly, philosopher's stone is boring this time. I have a failed replay where I pull some crazy ass dodges on it.
-
Okay on GFW i've cleared all routes on normal! :]
But it wont let me extra stage :qq:
-

That's because you didn't clear every route.
-
but i did
e: No don't tell me I have to clear all routes on all difficulties
-
Well, I've got a couple of things to note here, but there's only one I'm particularly interested in putting up here.
-After FAR TOO LONg, finally captured all Spell Cards in MoF at least once on Normal
-Today I got my last 2 I'd been missing forever, namely Misayama Shrine Hunting Ritual and Miracle of Otensui.
-More importantly to me, after being inspired by watching videos of those insane VoWG timeouts, I decided to do the version I can actually access(IE Mountain of Faith [Normal]). Took me a couple days, but finally timed it out successfully, so I'm happy. One of my favorite cards to play, won't lie. Part of me can't wait til I get to the level where I can actually play the real deal.
....Please ignore me sucking horribly at the rest of the fight, please.
EDIT: Ok, I have no idea how it happened, but I just no-death'd Kanako while practicing Stage 6 with ReimuA(since I haven't 1cc'd with her yet, only the B-type).
-
but i did
e: No don't tell me I have to clear all routes on all difficulties
You have to 1cc each route on any difficulty. This includes easy. (So you could have A1 lunatic 1cc, A2 hard, C1 and C2 normal and B1 and B2 easy 1ccs and extra would unlock because of a 1cc of each route)

I don't know if this is the case with your situation, but if you restart in FW without going back to the menu, the game bugs and records any replay (or clear I think) with the wrong route (unless you have restarted a number of times equal to a multiple of 6) due to it increasing the route value (i.e A1 --> A2 --> B1, etc.) If I'm wrong well then I guess I'm just stupid but it happened to me once or twice already so there's a route I still have to redo (but like 4 more to get after that)
-
Perfect? NoDeath? What?
Sakurei and Karisa perfected her yesterday, so I joined the club. Besides, look who you're talking to <_<

Wow a big congrats to everyone who's getting those Extra stage perfects! Keep it up!
... Now I kind of want to try some too.

Playstation danmaku scene clear! 12-8, I believe.

Congrats with those Extra stage NMNBs. I know how satisfying they can be although i can't say any of those i've done have required more than a few attempts to accomplish. Wow. How braggy. I'm sorry :V. Those runs happened by random coincidence anyway. Suwako can be a bitch to perfect so honest congrats to those who've put forth enough dedication to get that done.
Also you Sakurei with that Flandre, congratulations. QED is a monster of a spell and i can only imagine how annoying it would be to lose a run to QED's final three seconds. Nice going.
As for myself, a NMNB Aya fight with ReimuA, a 1-miss timeout of VoWG and two double K.O's on DBDB. Most of my time have been spent on Mushi Futari God today but at least I'm happy that I got some reasonable results out of my Touhou playing today. Also, Nitori's camouflage card doesn't get any easier with ReimuA. I mean, damn.

150 or so here. Ran then took 20 or so after and that's all I have for extra perfects, though I could probably get the rest without too much more effort. Not sure who I want to go for next...maybe Mamizou?

So do I, but I got lucky once. If you think you can do it save one or two attacks, it's worth trying a few times to see if you're better now, or if you're just out of practice.
If not Nue, no idea, I'd just try them all and see if one grips you.

Flandre: 3DNB (Kagome, survival, QED)
Yukari: almost no practice, 7 hits best (4D3BB)
Mokou: ND2B (7th and 8th nonspells)
Koishi: 4DNB (Rorschach, Rose x3)
Nue: ?DNB (Grudge Bow, 3rd nonspell)
Mamizou: 3DNB (survival first phase, second phase, random other thing)
I've got them all down to a couple patterns, one of which I've unfortunately either never captured or are bad at in every case.
-
and Mamizou? Maybe even Marisa, if you're adventurous?
Out of those, I'd retry Koishi or Mokou. Rorschach isn't that hard (imo, at least) and someone of your skills can surely capture Subterranean Rose, and even though Mokou's later nonspells are crap you only need to get lucky once. <_<
-
I don't know about you guys but for extra stages I am more impressed by a good score run where the boss fight is NMNB than a full stage NMNB.

Internet failed and posted an unfinished post >.>
Rorschach is awful, never captured, I've captured Subterranean Rose once or twice before (mostly nerves there lol) I don't want to have to grind out the beginning of a boss a bunch of times to get unlucky near the end invalidating the attempt (I know Sakuya does this, but that's shorter).
Marisa...no. Well, maybe, since I gold medaled Fairy Destruction Ray in 1 try. Not sure about being able to get the survival, Big Crunch OR Open Universe though, let alone all in the same run as her nonspells.

Scoring is boring :V

It was stupid of me to bring it up in the midst of all these MoF runs anyway :blush:
I've never done a NMNB of a whole extra stage, although I might as well have done it with EoSD...
-
Goddamnit you guys stop making me feel bad about myself.
My first NDNB took like 80+ tries
History for Kanako's Extra midboss spells as of my first clear video:
64/99+
23/67
3/55
History now, after perfecting Suwako:
245/307
183/246
130/215
My history for Kogasa's Extra midboss spells is even higher (318/540 for her first card), and Patchouli's would probably be similarly high if EoSD actually saved the history after restarting.
I don't know about you guys but for extra stages I am more impressed by a good score run where the boss fight is NMNB than a full stage NMNB.
I am too. Though I didn't feel like suiciding for score in my Flandre/Nue runs (not sure if I will for Gengetsu), I'm fine with bombing for score on the stage portions. Not sure if I'd trance the stage portions if I go for Mamizou though, considering scoring there also involves trancing some of her nonspells and her survival.
-
Haha, but the suiciding is exactly why I refuse to NMNB the stage portions :D
-
Marisa...no. Well, maybe, since I gold medaled Fairy Destruction Ray in 1 try. Not sure about being able to get the survival, Big Crunch OR Open Universe though, let alone all in the same run as her nonspells.
If you NMNB FW Extra you will get a cookie from me, that's pretty freaking hard to do with some of those attacks. If you NMNB&No Ice (at 60 fps or higher without cheating) I will give you all the money in my bank account.
Also, on a FW note, cleared B-1 and B-2 Normal just now. Golded Fairy Overdrive (Normal) on B-1 and a couple of Star Sapphire's spells on B-2 Stg 3.
EDIT: C-1 and C-2 this morning, Extra stage unlocked! 3 options: Do FW Hard, do FW Extra, or stop being lazy and do MoF Lunatic

Well, I see that you are interested in scoring so you might have restarted the stage portion.
My record for Kanako first is 86/89, last is something like 49/57
I don't tend to restart the stage unless my faith is horribly low. Since I don't really care about scoring in a survival based run.
-
After Suwako:
Beautiful Mountain Spring like Suiga: 55/58
Ancient Fate Linked by Cedars: 52/55
Omiwatori God Crosses: 46/53
Do I win :V
I did it roughly a month after my first clear of MoF lunatic, so it was a while ago and I was really bad in comparison to now.
-
I've never NMNB'd an extra boss and I have thousands of restarts spread over the games ;___;
Well, I've NMNB'd Ran, but it had border breaks in it.
Damn it Steven, you're bad. I'd be seriously ashamed of taking like 80 tries to do that. LOL MAN.
On a more serious note, congratulations to all of you.

Well, I tried playing UFO Extra. My first try, I did a 1MNBNUFO with SanaeB, died to Rainbow UFO.
Captured Survival + Grudge Bow for the first time.
I feel like if I tried to perfect this it will take a lot more tries.
Kogasa's first = 55/71
Grudge Bow = 1/3
Also second time clearing this Extra!
Yea 80 tries for an Extra is a lot, Seppo, I should just kill myself.
-
Well, I see that you are interested in scoring so you might have restarted the stage portion.
I certainly was restarting the stage portion because of score (my faith target at first was 600,000 by Suwako, then 610,000, 615,000, 618,000, and up to 622,000 by the time I succeeded in the run), but I also had more attempts fail on Suwako, which weren't due to score optimization, because I wouldn't restart after reaching Suwako unless I died or something.
(History for Party Start: 13/28 as of my first clear, 85/109 (http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee487/KarisaMirisame/th10exrahist120914.png) now)
Though I did spend a while going for a no-death run earlier back when I'd never captured several of her cards, and it took me quite a while to capture Suwa War for the first time, both of which contributed to my attempt count.
Anyway, I just randomly played Koishi, and on the first try, somehow managed to perfect her all the way up to 2/3 of the way through Genetics (including my first capture of Rorshach). I still need to learn how to handle Philosophy of a Hated Person though.
-
Well, I tried playing UFO Extra. My first try, I did a 1MNBNUFO with SanaeB, died to Rainbow UFO.
Captured Survival + Grudge Bow for the first time.
Wow, that sucks. It was bad enough when my first true Suwako perfect attempt ended at Native Myth, but it'd be a lot worse if it was an extra I wasn't already good at. A perfect is definitely in your abilities I think, but it might take a while for sure. <_<
-
80 tries is by no means bad for an extra run. I recall it took me at least 50 tries to perfect Ran (my first), and I'm sure it takes longer for others. Honestly, stuff like that shouldn't be in your mind.
-
UFO Lunatic Stage 5 stage portion ND1B at 75fps. I'll gladly take that.
-
Nice. Was it Greatest Treasure, post-midboss fairy spam or pre-Shou siege from all sides?
-
Definitely Greatest Treasure. Shit is impossible. I survived the fairies right after it and the spam is doable if you sit on one side with 2+ power.
Oh, yeah, and I didn't die to the Ruiner of Perfect Stage Portions very last part. I used to know the timing on that one and then I forgot but I didn't die to it this time so.
-
Not like me, because i actually 1cc'd Normal in both LLS and TD, but I saw something unrealiable:

-
SA Lunatic Stage 5 4DNB.
One to the first midboss pattern.
One to the second midboss pattern.
One to popcorn.
One to bullshit streaming.
Basically, capped Catwalk and perfected Orin.
Meep.
This is good enough for me for the time being. The deaths to the midboss patterns were me trying stupid shit and barely playing and the other deaths are :lol:.
-
Another dragon has been put to rest. Ten Desires Hard 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23929)
Now it's time for a serious challenge after all those stupid deaths. SA shall be next!
-
I don't know what happened, but somehow everything in SA has just "clicked" for me. I suddenly get stage 1, Yamame's opener is rarely an issue anymore, stage 2 was never really an issue, I finally get how to do post-midboss stage 3, I finally get Yuugi's opener, Ooe suddenly feels a lot easier, I can actually get through stage 4 and get to Satori with 3+ power left, I can FINALLY do Terrifying Hypnotism, midboss Orin's non-spells are no longer a mystery to me... And the list goes on. And this all suddenly clicked within the last hour or so. I still dislike SA's life/bomb system, but hell, I feel as though I understand the patterns well enough that I can get through despite that.
Playing through as a non-ReimuA shottype is really eye opening.
Oh also as a minor accomplishment, I was kind of frustrated with SA yesterday, so I tried SA stage 6 Hard. I perfected it out of the blue. So weird considering just how hard I thought Utsuho was. Also, was everything in Hard really that slow? It's hard to believe that I ever found that stuff difficult anymore :V
-
I wanted to do something else after failing yet another SA Lunatic 1lc attempt early. Stage 5 it was, something I haven't done in a while. Managed a 1DNB run (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23930). Granted this was without my usual restrictions, but still. Considering how little I've been playing Touhou the past couple months, pulling off the dodges I did in this replay is certainly encouraging.

And speaking of 1cc's, I went back and 1cc'ed UFO with MarisaA. Now I have another 1cc of that damned game, along with ReimuA. Weee!

Accidentally stumbled across a safespot to all waves of the static laser fairies in SA Stage 4. Kind of surprised I didn't find one already, considering they're clearly static and the second batch of them always seems to get me somehow. <_<

Yup, took me a bit to find it too when I first started playing it on Lunatic, only problem these days is getting to it for the first wave and not having a stray bullet get in the way whilst I sit there. :derp:
-
Just had Insect's Nest ruin a perfect Satori fight. Gracias.
I don't know what safespot you guys are talking about. I hate those lasers a bunch.
-
Managed to capture Suwako's Suwa War on my second ever time seeing it (lucky finish).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfvkLR7SYqk
I also timed out Kanako's first non-spell in that Extra on my first try a couple days ago but assumed then that it was just easy, I've been failing to do so since (on my few attempts) so now I'm calling that a success too >_> Gotta take what I can get.
-
not having a stray bullet get in the way whilst I sit there.
That's not an issue at all for the first wave, since I can kill the amulet fairies before they fire, but I'm still not sure how to deal with that in the second wave. Not only can I not kill them all quickly because aimed circles, but I've only managed to clear the green amulet crap about three times total, so I can't really practice. <_<I don't know what safespot you guys are talking about. I hate those lasers a bunch.
Very bottom of the screen naturally, a few pixels to the right of the "?" in the point item value stuff at the bottom left. That's the one I found, at least.
-
I see it. *death*
Anywho, perfect Stage 5 Nazrin at 75fps. Fuck yes. Too bad I fell to the spam part.
Fun fact: I have an easier time with Total Purification at 75fps compared to normal speed. Maybe it's because I die of old age before the bullets start moving normally.
-
I'm out of words. (http://i.imgur.com/u3wK5.png)
Not in the speechless manner, but in the one where I'm not sure what should I think of the run. It has several idiotic (and costly) mistakes and I'm being a pussy all over the place and skipping the harder stuff. Maybe I'll write a bit longer scoreboard entry-message this time in order to reflect on this a bit. Don't read, it's horrible. (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,156.msg885679.html#msg885679)
Well, at least I'm somewhat happy about the score. It's pretty cool and now I think I can keep going on without worrying much. 1,5b on ReimuA would be nice, since I really like that one. But maybe I'll do some other stuff, other games or other shots.
Still running away from UFO, still too inconsistent. Still too shit, still too scared. One day, maybe, I'll be better. Or less scared.
-
Oh hey, blogging. Sorry.
-
SA Hard clear, yay. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23944)
Turns out that SA is a much more easy when you know how to use the bomb system, and yet despite knowing that I ended going to Stage 5 with 0 power anyway making Orin a nightmare, good thing I didn't lose many lives at the rest of the game.
-
Just captured 4.6 billion years (Mikoto's second card on lunatic) at 0 power. Took 1 attempt.
-
PoFV normal 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=23954)
My previous 1cc of this game was with Aya, but I heard she was way easier to use against the AI, so I cleared it with Reimu this time.
Finished with 1 extra life, no deaths at Komachi.
Not much of an accomplishment, but it was challenging enough, so I'll take it (plus I fail everything else, these days...).
-
It took me 1938 photos (not kidding), but I finally cleared Seamless Ceiling of Kinkaku-Ji (Scene 9-6) in StB.
...I still can't believe that the last photo I took was a successful one, because I seriously expected it to be a failed shot.

Finally got a perfect Kyouko, figured out Tongling Yoshika, pulled a 2DNB Futo, got a consistent 2 bomb Stage 4 stage part...TD lunatic is coming together because I'm trying to perfect the bosses.
and I captured Tao Taidou again in 9 tries.
-
Cleared MoF Extra for the first time.
Reached Suwa War with 4 lives left... and then lost two in it >_> The first one shouldn't have happened since I just didn't move enough despite there being a huge space to go. 1 death, 2 bombs for her final.
My only other death was on the very first non-spell, haha. Bombed a ton through the stage though, for some reason.
Oh, and my cap rate for "Seven Stones and Seven Trees" is now 0/7. That laser hits me every single time the spell starts, I always forget. Death-bombed though
The capture records tell me I had 40 attempts at Kanako's first spell, 29 at Suwako's first, 3 at Suwa War and 2 at the final.
Quite like most of her Extra and happy to have cleared it. Now, on to SA Extra.

Hell Yeah! :getdown:
Finally 1cc'd Touhou 6 Lunatic with all shottypes! :D
I guess it took so long because MarisaA seemed to be really tricky to beat the game with (she took at least several weeks or so), whereas ReimuB and MarisaB took no less than a day each.
I have no idea why...
Nevertheless, time to move on to other goals, like recording more LPs and friggin' finally Perfecting Stage 5 Touhou 11 Lunatic (I've gotten close so many... damn... times...!?) >:(
-
Nice job Nindella. In my opinion, MarisaB is the hardest to 1cc the game with, although for MarisaA/B it only took me one attempt to clear. MarisaB's shot is too weak, ReimuA is the best imo.
Good luck on that SA Lstage 5, you're very close.
-
Oh you... I meant a 1cc and you know it! Nice though ;3

stage practice-but I didn't die or bomb before it and since rank resets at the beginning of each stage it was either the max rank reachable by that point, close to it, or max rank.
-
Mercury Poison is Patchy's easiest on low rank and hardest on max rank (shot:ReimuA)
It's one of those cards that get effected by rank a lot.
Grats on the book capture though.

We're (Or at the very least I) not saying it isn't. If you consider that an accomplishment, that's good. After all, England was not made a country in a day, baby steps are recommended (Toward 1cc'ing or perfecting Stage 4, either one works).

Finished a IL speedrunning archive for StB, my total time:

Awesome! If you have replays can you send them over so I can setup the StB table before other ILs start rolling in-it's much easier editing a table than adding new entries.

"Oh hey, let's try UFO Hard to see what it looks like"
Made it to the beginning of stage 5, captured Sinkable Vortex and Murasa's third nonspell.
Well, that's some kind of achievement...
Also, no-deaths SA Hard stage 4.

Here it is, I checked everything before compressing but strangely 5-4 seems to have gone missing at some point, might have been left over at my laptop. So, everything except 5-4 are here. It's probably made redundant by the time I can find it anyway...
-
A failed run may not be an accomplishment for others but for me it serves the purpose of evaluating how close I am towards a goal.
Attempting PCB LNB for the first time in a couple weeks.
Died to Chen
Died twice to stage 3
Died 4 times to stage 4 (all of them silly)
Managed to NMNB stage 5.
Entered stage 6 with 2 lives. Made it to 80% reflowering.
This seems pretty doable at my skill level. I'll get the clear if I don't suck as much. (I can now NMNB 1-5, if I do it correctly)
Before that, I need to use more stage practice.

After so long, it's finally done, I have finally 1cc'd UFO on lunatic.
This game is easily the hardest windows touhou by far. The run here was really lucky, Entered stage 4 3/1, then entered stage 5 4/2 and stayed like that until Shou, which I just spammed all of my bombs at. Entered stage 6 as 2/2 then died at the opener (derp) bombed once during the stage and got 3 red UFOs and 1 green one. Captured midboss Nue. Entered Byakuren 3/2. Bombed the first spell and second nonspell. somehow managed to survive until devil's recitation. I died and bombed once to that spell. Captured Superhuman and entered LFS 2/1, which I cleared only dying once.
I guess I only have to 1cc TD and some PC-98 games now, oh, and GFW and the fighters too.
Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24099)

Awesome stuff
Brilliant!
Congratulations! 1ccing TD should be a piece of cake now that you've managed to 1cc UFO Lunatic, looking forwards to your future exploits!
-
What 16 hours. Oh man, congratulations.
-
Heh. 16 hours. I guess we don't all have to spend 100+ hours of training before thinking 'perhabs we should clear the game one day'. Congrats on the clear mate.
-
I wish it only took me that long. The amount of time I spent to 1cc UFO Lunatic, I don't even view it as having been worth it for me. So much time I spent to 1cc a game that I really should have quit playing a lot earlier. It wasn't even really about getting the skill needed for me since I didn't think it was that much harder than Hard. But the game just kept screwing me every time pretty much. I pretty much had a plan set up for it, but it just never worked out till that one run. I pretty much only 1cc'd it to try to prove a point, but I should have just left it alone. As I've said elsewhere, I'll never try to 1cc a game I absolutely hate ever again, it's just not worth it.
But 16 hours isn't much time at all, and if it had taken me that long, I probably would have viewed it as not a waste of my time. I still would have hated the game though.
Enough ranting though, Congrats on beating the hardest game in the series that's not a Phantasmagoria game. Surely the experience with UFOwill maybe help with other games if you plan to do harder stuff in them.
-
I think I'm gonna switch my goals from doing lunatics for the moment. I decided on a whim to do EoSD normal with no focus tonight about 2 hours ago. On my first run I was playing and realized around Patchy that I had only used one bomb (item collection to begin stg 2). At that point I decided I could totally do it with no bombs as well. As few tries later I was able to perfect all the way until Patchy and I think it was 1D on that run. A few attempt made it to Scarlet shoot with 0 lives in stock and I managed to fail it both times. My last run was completely perfect through Sakuya midboss on Stg 5. I think that was the first time I had ever reach full life stock in EoSD ever. That lasted about 5 seconds as I rammed a bullet in the spam. Boss Sakuya was awful considering I had gotten 1D on it once before. Finally captured eternal meek on that run and got through to Red Magic with 2 lives in stock which I promptly wasted but managed to clear any way. Woot!
TLDR: Im going to do no focus normals instead of trying to finish lunatics for the time being. Cleared EoSD normal no focus no bomb. replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24103)
-
Not much of an accomplishment due to how easy it is, but I 1cc EoSD lunatic with all shot-types. This is probably the only Touhou game where I actually like all the shot-types.
Back to Fairy Wars, I guess...
-
I still would have hated the game though.
For some reason I'm not entirely sure about that. ;)

New Extra Clear again! After this, it's just two more to go.

This time, yep, it's Mystic Square. Don't mind the high score, that was a previous attempt that used slowdown - this one is completely legit so this is the one that counts as my clear.

I didn't get squeezed by lasers this time around, but I actually get out of those situations way more often than I should. Other close attempts had some fucking amazing dodging & squeezes, too, but the dodging here is pretty ok as well! It's bound to be - amulets are sublime.

Seriously, this game is easy. I haven't even managed to no-bomb 1cc any of the other games on Hard, and here I manage to perfect 5/6 stages in the first run today that makes it past stage 2.
Well, at least non-Extra is easy. I think TD Nue's second Extra card, which I still fail like half the time, is more difficult than every pattern in the entire TD Hard (with the possible exception of those fairies at the end of stage 5).

Perfect EoSD Stage 5 stage portion.
Almost makes up for the game over at 2nd nonspell.

Nue's first card in HELL for me...
-
Nue's second card is pretty neat, yeah. It's kind of like Avoidance of Defiance in that you need some tight dodging and hitbox manip and that doing it without focus is bordering on fanatic.
Which is why I tried timing it out without focusing just now and got to T-6 seconds. I haven't screamed that loud in ages.
-
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24134
it's nothing really astounding, but if I lose a perfect to futo, it's because of it. it's a fun spell, and I thought timing it out would be a better help than capturing it, due to the amount of time I spend in the spell itself :V of course I am talking about iwafune's ascend.
timing it out is easier than capturing :v took the whole 5 attempts.

Congrats on the stage 5 perfect! Orin gives me fits even on hard and I haven't even touched lunatic in that game yet.
But anyway since Seiga told me on youtube to perfect stage 4A lunatic with a team that actually faces Reimu, I did some spell practice and managed to capture all of her cards. Blink was by far the longest to get right with about 35 attempts. Going to need a lot of practice on her 2nd nonspell though.
As a bonus:
I did a timeout of demon binding ring (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24144)
Also I captured Super Duplex Barrier like a real man in this replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24143).
I was trying to do Hakurei Danmaku Bounded Field by running a circle around Reimu but I gave up on that.
This is why I avoid spell practice though, I spend too much time goofing off and trying to do stupid/weird things lol
EDIT: Played some LLS tonight. Got perfect Marisa and Stg 5 Yuuka hard (though neither were max rank :() Also finally cleared extra, my first of the PC-98 extras. Of course in typical style i cleared it with 3 lives left O.O with a perfect Mugetsu (also not max rank) and a capture of gengetu's spark phase.
-
After losing my last two extra lives to Orin's first non I was pretty sure I'd gameover instantly on the first card or something.
Instead I made it to the wheels thing, which has a name I don't know. Maybe, if I can figure out how the final card works, I'll finish this. Maybe. Other stuff, for now.

The replay will show a lower score, but that's because that end-of-game glitch struck again - I do still get past everything on one credit. This is notable for me since it is, as far as I can remember, the highest I've scored on any route in this game, including Extra. And on one of the hardest routes in the game, at that.

Did you take Sunny's final spellcard from the bottom half of the screen instead of the top half on purpose?
It's been known for a really long time, yeah. And I'm not that strict about where I tackle Sunny's last card - since it covers almost the whole screen I like to bomb it for more freeze.

HA! I BEAT YOU ORIN! Okuu isn't the final boss of this game. Orin is. SO many runs lost to Orin. I thought Satori was hard before... Nah you just need to get used to her then she's cake (except for Deep Mist Labyrinth. I hate that card). Everything in this game is like 20x harder without ReimuA's insane power and insanely strong bomb. I'm shivering so much right now out of pure joy. It's taken me roughly the same number of attempts at a ReimuB 1cc as opposed to ReimuA. Wow I just... God. 4 more shot types to go!

PoFV Hard 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24168)
So many runs were brutally murdered by Shikieiki...
Lost 1 life to Marisa, 0 to Aya (yay !), 2 to Komachi (meh) and 2 to Shiki.
Used Reimu because homing attacks are cool and I can't micrododge with Marisa.

I caught Phoenix Rebirth. :toot:

Been a while since I contributed to this thread. I was up to some speed-boosted crap runs again, this time in PCB Extra. I think I'll mention them.
90fps - 1-miss, no-bomb, no border breaks. The death was to Unilateral Contact. I guess I could "perfect" it at that speed if I tried enough times. I won't, however.
120fps - Managed a crummy clear. Lost lots of of bombs because I felt like "trying to dodge" things. I cleared with an extra life left.
150fps - I reached Shikigami Chen. I might be able to clear the stage at that speed, but again, it's not worth the time. Maybe ReimuA would make it easier (I used B), since the nonspells are the hardest part, and her bomb can deal with them more quickly.
Not really accomplishments in the end, and I'm not planning on retrying them. That's why I'm mentioning them here: to get them off my mind.

ReimuA's... insanely strong bomb.
Eh? What planet are you on? Well, whatever. Good luck with the other four shots. They only get worse as you go.
-
Thanks everyone!
Eh? What planet are you on? Well, whatever. Good luck with the other four shots. They only get worse as you go.
I'm pretty sure ReimuA's is one of the stronger bombs in the game compared with the others. The only one that is definitely better is ReimuC's. The reason why I consider it "insanely strong" is because, like ReimuC, it gives a pretty lengthy period of full invincibility, plus screen clearing capabilities. You don't get that with ReimuB, MarisaA, or MarisaC, which cleanly places it as one of the better bombs of the game, especially considering how weak the other bombs are. You can straight out skip a lot of cards with that bomb. By comparison, you don't have that luxury with the other bombs. If you are using ReimuB and can't dodge Orin's spells (like me), you will definitely need 2 bombs each for Cat's Walk, Needle Mountain, and Small Demon's Revival. By comparison, all of those are pretty much single bombs with ReimuA/C.
-
I've got to disagree. MarisaB has the strongest bomb in the game, and MarisaA's works in very much the same way. While it is certainly weaker, you have twice as many. (I don't remember MarisaC's, but I suspect that it's terrible.) In any event, those Marisa bombs are all about placement, and the same is true for ReimuB. In some cases it's useless, and in others it can deal heavy damage by simply dropping it directly on top of the boss. I find it odd that you'd mention Rin's Needle Mountain, when that's one of the most notable places where ReimuB's bomb outshines ReimuA's. That attack spawns thousands of bullets from a single point. It's what ReimuB's bomb was built for. Further, you say "You can straight out skip a lot of cards with that bomb" which is generally the hallmark strategy of ReimuC, MarisaA and B, and is usually referred to as an advantage that those shots have over ReimuA. On top of that, they have the advantage of essentially dealing fixed damage, while ReimuA's bomb gets weaker as you lose power (since it's damage comes from letting you get free shots on the boss). Getting through Needle Mountain with just one bomb, even at full power (which becomes 3 instantly) sounds a little dubious to me, though I'll give you the benefit of the doubt there. However, I'm sure that if you go into that spell with 2 power, you're going to use both bombs and still have time left to die before the spell ends.
And I'm typing too much. Making myself look like an asshat. Whatever. My impression is that you seem to be neglecting the potential of most bombs to be put on top of the boss, where they deal tremendous damage in comparison to ReimuA's. If not, then never mind.
-

Not sure I get where you're coming from. I don't see how any of those other than ReimuC truly surpass ReimuA's ability to bomb through Spellcards. Timing is the more important factor for the latter, but it still excels in getting you through troublesome attacks when used right.
On top of that, they have the advantage of essentially dealing fixed damage, while ReimuA's bomb gets weaker as you lose power (since it's damage comes from letting you get free shots on the boss).
I'm pretty sure they all get weaker as you lose Power. Every shot can fire normally during bombs, and the damage calculations you see in Mefidex's tables take damage from shots into account.
And a note about MarisaA. She has twice as many bombs, yes. They also last half as long as the others, because there are twice as many. So in practice it's more like setting off 4 ReimuA bombs total in terms of duration.
-
MarisaA's bomb is awesome, just putting that out there :V
Drop MarisaA bomb ontop of enemy, take out half spell/non's hp. What's more, is that there're alot more where that came from!

Well I don't know then. MarisaA and B's bombs are definitely stronger, there isn't much more to it than that. It's not that ReimuA can't bombspam her way to victory (everyone can), but those other bombs are better at it.
-
Don't worry Seiga. That game cheats on several occasions so a little something to counter that is nothing to be ashamed of.
-
I don't think he was being ashamed or making him feel ashamed was part of my agenda anyway. Remarks like mine are easy to make and kind of come naturally. Also, yeah, Sakuya cheats.
-
not only sakuya. I remember during my time I attempted to perfect Flan she just cheated mindlessly. against 4 of a kind, for instance: I tried to squeeze through one of the mini-bubbles and a normal petal. and BAM I died due to the bubble. I was like "...I would have totally survived in any other game" because fuck fair hitboxes. not to mention my hitbox just slightly overlapped with the SPRITE.
and the normal bubbles, anyway > patchy uses them. Remilia, too. oh god, the horror called Young demon lord.
So yeah, EoSD is a big pile of cheating hitboxes. it still has the best extra boss fight :v and scarlet gensokyo's awesome.
-
To be fair, it would be 'cheating' if the hitbox detection was off or something, but it's more like "these are the OLD hitboxes and you're just not used to them! :D". Can't say the same to some other games.
-
It's better in my opinion. In the newer games he makes the hitboxes smaller but then clusterfucks everything together. (Devil's Recitation, Cloudy Purple Whatever, etc.) I'd prefer that the sprites actually be representative of the hitboxes and then just have the bullets spaced out more. Or just make the sprites smaller. One or the other.
-
Hmm. I was actually thinking about Remi and Patchouli as the biggest sinners in terms of the "#%! factor but I guess you could say that a spell like Killing Doll might feel a bit like cheating too but I haven't played against it enough to say anything about it other than the fact that I haven't been able to capture it in less than 4 attempts.
-
(I don't remember MarisaC's, but I suspect that it's terrible.)
SA MarisaC's bomb is basically a PCB border; as far as I can tell it neither does damage (if it does the amount is lower than ReimuA's) nor gives you invincibility time other than the screen clear. It seems like it's more for the casual players that don't feel like waiting until they're about to die before bombing. I think it's somewhat useful if you know how to deathbomb intentionally (or you're playing the ultra patch with auto-bombs), since if you deathbomb you get a border break then and another before it runs out, though.

I avoided getting hit for 2 and a half minutes again a lunatic Shikieiki.*
While using Aya.
*disclaimer: the Shikieiki was being controlled by a human, but this should hardly detract from the achievement because there were some crazy dodges. No replay sadly because PoFV crashed when I tried to save it

I've been playing shmups for upwards of 4 years for those who don't know me from Shmups Farm. I wouldn't consider myself a great player, because I tend to get easily distracted from my goals, but thanks for the compliment!
-
Progress with scoring GFW is slow, but there is progress. Took some stabs at Route B's Stage 1 to mix things up. Daiyousei really is a lot simpler to score on, plus I feel like I'm regaining my reading abilities.

2 weeks of EoSD Lunatic is impressive. It's one of those 1ccs that take longer than others.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/0J5ln.jpg)
Jeez I'm not sure whether this came so easily because I practiced a lot with ReimuB or whether ReimuC's bomb is just that much more powerful. I got to Subterranean Sun with 3 extra lives, and ended up losing two because of derping. Oh well. That's Reimu down, Marisa, you're up next!
2 weeks of EoSD Lunatic is impressive. It's one of those 1ccs that take longer than others.
Really? I didn't think it was too hard to get. I mean it obviously takes longer than IN or PCB, but I'd say that it isn't too much harder than TD. It seemed to come so effortlessly that I can barely remember my run through it :V.
And congrats RNG! Might I suggest MoF next? It shares a few similarities with EoSD in terms of the difficulty curve (hard stage 4, easy stage 6 with a final boss that isn't too terrible save for a few cards, but with an easier stage 5), and given the ability to bomb abuse, it shouldn't take too long.
-
I might indeed go with MoF next, thanks for the suggestion (though i have to suppress the urge to scoreplay). And yeah, aside from the smaller-than-normal amount of resources EoSD isn't a tremendously hard clear. It's nothing on the level of SA or UFO.
-
It's notorious for making you restart over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. Personally, it was my first Lunatic and the first Lunatic I attempted, but I know other people have or have had this problem (and, well, I DID only start Lunatic after beating UFO Hard, so there's that).
RNG, feel free to steamroll MoF and PCB. They should fall after only a few attempts. IN needs a bit of learning but otherwise it's really easy too.
-
SA isn't that hard to beat either if you bomb everything you feel threatened by.
TD is frustrating due to how few resources you have-and you probably need all of them. That, and a death costs you whatever you had in addition to your trance.
Nice job on the EoSD clear, a lot of parts depend on luck but at the same time a lot depend on skill.
-
Well MoF was fun, just made it (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24191) to that Onbashira attack first try.
also a hilarious luckdodge (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24190) during Stage 5 practice.
I've been playing for 4.5 hours today so I better take a break, sheesh.

Depends on how many things you feel threatened by, obviously. You need to know what you're doing to make sure you aren't falling too far behind on Power, after all.
But if Trances themselves count as resources, then TD certainly has quite a few (especially when playing as Sanae). Not as many as PCB of course, but you get the idea.

Well that's interesting. I concede that point. Though I'm not sure "completely blind" would have been the right way to describe it. I take it you knew the general function of each attack from lower difficulties, correct? That can certainly help with resource management, though not to a large degree obviously.
Really? I always thought the green miko was horrible at everything...
Her special ability is that blue spirits fill up the Trance meter the same amount as gray ones (I believe the ratio is 2:3 normally, so it becomes 1:1 for Sanae).

That's true, but I assume most people going for lunatic have already beaten hard (funnily enough my hard clear had a blind Stage 6). The resource management is shown by me dying to Utsuho's 3rd nonspell with 4 bombs in stock.
-
I am so tired of people whining about EoSD's hitboxes every freaking time the game is brought up.
To be fair, the bubble hitboxes in EoSD aren't representative of anything. While they're closer to the full bullet sprite in EoSD, in the later games they're very close to the size of inner circle, and that's more intuitive and easier to read.
But yeah, Metal Fatigue hitboxes are just fine. lrn2play, etc. And the typical bullet hell thing of having bullets several times larger than their hitboxes just so things look pretty is and always has been stupid. Just like every other decision to favor form over function.
It seems like it's more for the casual players
Aha! No wonder I love it.
IDK what to do next though.
PoDD.
UFO seems way too fucking hard.
PoDD.

Just captured Byakuren's second nonspell which means 10/10 of Byakuren's attacks captured. :D
Now to capture them all in one go. :V
-
Her special ability is that blue spirits fill up the Trance meter the same amount as gray ones (I believe the ratio is 2:3 normally, so it becomes 1:1 for Sanae).
It isn't actually that useful in my experience. (I tried using Sanae for my first Hard 1cc, which took a while, then switched to Reimu for Lunatic and got that 1cc rather quickly. And it's not that TD Hard's difficulty is above-average for a Hard; I'm more consistent at TD Hard now than I am at the other games' Normal modes.)
Considering how nearly half of the spirits are gray, you're only gaining like 20-30% more trance gauge (20 blue spirits + 10 gray spirits = 70 for most characters, 90 for Sanae). Sanae's lower power means you might not be filling the trance gauge much/any faster against bosses, since the rate the spirits appear depends on the amount of damage dealt, and on the stage portions, you'll likely be waiting until the next set of pink/green spirits before you actually use the trance anyway, so it doesn't really matter if the gauge was filled a bit earlier.

RNG playing touhou games now? What's the world coming to...
Congrats on your (first?) lunatic clear. EoSD is kind of simple when using safe stats, most of the stage portions can be trivialized after all. not so simple if you want teh scores? and then there's the bosses, of course. As I'm sure you're aware, the trick is to not save up on bombs, and you can clear it every time if you know the game well, despite the boss randomness.
Speaking from personal experience, what I've enjoyed the most to clear on lunatic was Fairy Wars, all routes at that. I highly recommend this very unique, fast and fun game, it is oddly overlooked by Touhou players. I also enjoyed PoFV so much that I cleared it with all characters. UFO and PoDD are both very fun ones but they're pretty brutal.
SA, TD and IN are kind of annoying on lunatic. Annoying as in, you'll get mostly a mixture of boring easy shit and stupid shit. That's just me though.

Nah, Touhou 11, Subterranean Animism Lunatic can be pretty much Bomb Everything, No Dodging, like MoF. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21714)
At least with ReimuC, where her bombs make this stupid easy (also why I consider her the strongest shottype, over ReimuA, when you take bombs into account!).
MarisaA and to some degree MarisaB (and sort of ReimuB if you really plan things) can also trivialise chunks of the game like this.
Edit: Replay isn't mine by the way, it's T's, but it's replicatable if you watch it a bit.

I made it to Kanako on Hard mode!

Orin. Fought her. All of this within one run:
- Pacify opener (easy)
- Pacify first spell (not as hard as I'd thought but probably not easy)
- Capture 2nd non-spell and spellcard.
- Pacify 3rd non-spell and spellcard.
All of this without dying or bombing of course. Runs going pretty good. So i consider this an accomplishment. Would have been a bit better if the following didn't happen.
3 deaths to her final. Orin. You are a butt. I had a creeing suspicion that you'd do something like this when i would get a good run of pacifying your spells. You didn't disappoint. Asshat. You owe me big time for this.

This run was really good, entered stage 5 with like 4 extra lives (My previous best was entering with 0 lives and 1 bomb), and since stage 5 is pretty easy I knew I would get this, even though I did horribly at yuuka and entered with only one extra life at stage 6.
Also this was my first time playing stage 6 :V

Decided to try 1cc-ing lunatic with all the characters in this game, and after tons of ReimuB attempts where I died at stage 1, decided to try with ReimuC and it was stupidly easy, even though I failed everywhere in the run the game gives enough bombs to still clear :V

I randomly got it down to 10 seconds earlier, but I pulled some of those dodges from thin air. It's annoying that the fairies' bullets are pretty slow, so they stay behind and clutter the screen when you want to switch sides.

Since you appear to be new I'll offer some advice.
1. In MoF, you get tons and tons and tons of bombs. You can bomb your way through every spell on Normal and still 1cc.
2. In SA you still get a gratuitously high amount of bombs. Use them.
3. (Even though this isn't advice) PoFV Hard 1cc's? You seem the most experienced with that game, can't call yourself NOVICE at that.
4. (Also not advice) You say you cleared PCB Easy with Sakuya. Mind telling us which Sakuya? Saying "Sakuya" doesn't do a thing because all that's similar between SakuyaA and SakuyaB are Hitbox sizes, speed, character sprites, and dialogue.
-
First Game Completed - Perfect Cherry Blossom/Easy/Sakuya
First 1cc- Imperishable Night/Normal/Youmu/Yuyuko
All character 1cc- PoFV/Hard/All PoFV characters.
Able to reach 4 stage boss Rin in SA/Easy/Marisa/Nitori
3cc's MoF/Easy/MarisaC.
All I say is HUZZAH for my noviceness!
1cc PoFV hard with all characters? I'd say you've got some good dodging skills built for that, try for a lunatic clear of PoFV!

Ok, got another one down. UFO Normal no focus no bomb (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24254). Contains much much fail, but I did capture 5 out of Byakuren's 6 cards, including the final.
Remaining normals for no focus no bomb: PCB, MoF, SA.
PCB has been a brick wall for me since I can't seem to stop failing miserably on the stage 4, the Prismrivers, or boss Youmu.
MoF is like wtf without bombs, especially stage 4
SA is like wtf with no focus past like stage 2.

Timed out Sanae's opener. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V15VQmnIVH8)
This thing is so much fun. Seriously, you need to try this.

Already have. (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,12400.msg835103.html#msg835103) It's a good pattern.

You're 8 months late (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9zdSXRZqXE)
I'm attempting to time this out at 90 fps. Best I've managed so far is 1 death. It's a really cruel walling attack at this speed.
-
Well, I got to Sinkable Vortex today. Stage 4 is really hard though, it's pissing me off. If I die on Nueball, I don't get the extend and that makes me :getdown:
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24269 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24269)
E: Ok just figured out Nueball, I think. Murasa though, jesus christ. I was lucky to cap Sinkable Vortex once...
-
Yeah Sinkable Vortex is tough. My capture rate is around 1/4. Better bomb that. And Nueball is sort of static, but you probably figured it out.
Stage 4 is actually one of the easier stages. Get ready to be welcomed to hell.
-
That's what troubles me - I can't imagine how badly Stage 5 will go if I'm messing up on an "easy" stage. The stage portion is mostly easy, though, it's just the second half of Murasa is murderous. My deathbomb reflex is real damn sharp so I can handle most of the shit she throws at me, but that doesn't solve her final :C
Well, I'm going to take a break for a day so I don't get worn out, and come back to work on the UFO path I got from Krim's 1cc. He handles Stage 2 much much better than me.
-
The only thing bad about Sinkable Vortex is Murasa's random movements, which are really tough if not impossible to react to when in the thick of the attack. My advice is to make sure you don't go too far above the bottom of the screen, so that should Murasa move away from where you guess she'll go, the bullets won't be angled too sharply to one side.
And yeah, Stage 5 is hell, but only in certain parts - some of the stuff can be memorized, making them easy. Have you unlocked it in a separate run?
And I see you using the dreaded word "deathbomb". :V I don't know much about your playing style, but in case no one else has told you yet, deathbombing is not something you should be relying on. If an attack has a history of kicking your ass, or you suddenly find yourself in a threatening situation, then bomb before any bullets have any chance of reaching you. Resource management, basically. Saves you from potentially not reacting to a hit fast enough (the window is already tight to begin with) and dying with bombs in stock.
-
Cleared PCB Ultra without focus, yay. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24278) Being still a bit tired from all the time I sank into the last weekly, I was not ready to do anything more serious, and tried to spend my time doing something more silly.
Finished with a good amount of lives left, too. Kind of unexpected, given how I was giving it from little to no effort at all. Almost every border was broken, and the total amount of captured Spell Cards was 1 (Chen's second card). I could have captured 80% as well, but I made some really idiotic decision during it and died. Oh well, a clear is a clear - and nothing more.
I - could - upload this ... thing to youtube, but I find it a rather stupid thing to do, given how many PCB ultra clears already have been uploaded. And given how bad I fared. Unless it is specially asked for, which I doubt, this shall remain as unuploaded. I must find something other silly things to do in order to keep the channel alive, I guess.
-
Hmm, just went to check it out and it has you dying stupidly at Cirno's spell card running into bullets and dashing across screen (or with auto bombs, at Letty's second non).
When did you last download the Ultra mod? (says the ver. date in the readme). PCB's was last updated late March so I'd guess you're using the older one. I know IN had some major changes with more bullets and I think making bullets stray more from seeing bits of Jaimer's old Ultra Lunatic 1cc, maybe PCB too.
Unless it's desyncing for some other reason ???
-
>(2011.11.05)
Highly similar to the more recent patch, though. Here you have the patch I'm using.
-
Thanks, will give me something to watch over dinner.
Edit: Yeah, working now.
Edit 2: Well, even given what you said above I found it damn cool. Not that it means much from me but still, that dodging *_*
-
Oh I'm happy now. Earlier today, Orin had really made me depressed because my brain refused to cooperate with my hands and caused me all sorts of misery. Upon returning from some exercising I got what I wanted.
No, Orin wasn't lying in my bed wearing a cute outfit but I got something else. A perfect pacifist fight with Orin. Fuck yeah, that's how I wanted it to be. Thank you to Nindel for inspiring me to do this and good luck with pulling it off yourself mate. It's also thanks to you that I actually pacified all of the fight instead of only going for the three tough spellcards which was my original plan.
Vid coming up real soon. Look forward to it. There's a real 'oh shit' moment at the last. i could've lost it there but I thankfully didn't.

Now I seriously need to get this done now, I'm going to grind the rest of this day if needs be! :derp:

Look, I just cleared 3 Lunatics in as many days, I don't need Touhou 101 thank you very much. It's just that UFO Lunatic is a game full of stray bullets and annoying cheapshots, but my ability to deathbomb when I don't mean to get hit is quite good, that's all. I'm not relying on it.
(I really ought to upload this week's clears to YT like right now if you want to see my playstyle and can't be arsed to dig through a full replay)
And yeah, Stage 5 is hell, but only in certain parts - some of the stuff can be memorized, making them easy. Have you unlocked it in a separate run?
I don't think that practicing stage 5 is a priority any time soon. First I have to stop dying on stage 2 and stage 4. Got my UFO schedule written up for the week. I tend to just improvise my way through all my clears, and just sightread absolutely everything/bomb whenever possible, but with UFO I get the feeling I'll need to be deliberate and actually :gasp: think up routes.

Just wondering, I was thinking about learning how to ride, could you tell me where you managed to find that high a horse? Should prove to be invaluable and also help me needlessly inflate my ego.
Seriously, that was probably the rudest reaction to helpful advice I've ever seen here.
-
GJ Zengeku, you know what's up next!
It's Shoudown time!
-
Ehh... yeah. That might happen when I feel ready for more pain. :V
Man, there's not a single one of her spells i'm 100% consistent at. And her 2nd non-spell is still luck for my primitive and slow brain.
Anyway; here's a vid of the Orin pacifist fight.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=990vHady8SU
EDIT:
Also. What the hell RNG? He was just trying to help.
-
"My strategy for this one is to avoid touching the bullets."
:V
Also, what was the "hardest" part for you? The first spell or the final spell?
-
I'd say the hardest part is the final spell. The strategy for the first spell is actually pretty simple while I have no reliable way to consistently avoid getting bubbles thrown at me when I really don't need it. Also, a failure on the first spell is not that bad since it's right in the beginning of the fight while a failure on the final card will be more soul crushing if it happens following an otherwise flawless fight.
So yeah, definitely the final.
-
Scarlet Sign "Scarlet Meister" - 3/105
Scarlet Sign "Scarlet Meister" - 5/118
I am proud to announce that I am getting the hang of this card. Most of my attempts pass the second wave.
Still struggling against Scarlet Gensokyo, though. :( edit: And I finally captured that dreaded thing. I know I'm good enough to do this, all I need is to show it in practice.
-
Whoa, that did come off as rather arrogant, sorry. I just guess I kind of bristled at the implication that I don't know basic resource distribution/planned bombing (which could have just been me reading things wrong because Funen knows I'm not a new player). I guess this is yet another example of me getting way too serious about video games.
Gomen ne~ :3

Aaah, blogging coming up. I should just make a blog. I think I will.
-
So this happened. (http://oi45.tinypic.com/28sop6r.jpg) -----> (http://oi50.tinypic.com/2qa3gcx.jpg)
Also played some match mode against Rikako (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngtI9m18LFg&feature=player_embedded) and Mima. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmDdFdRRdqk&feature=player_embedded)
Yeah. PoDD's the best, no doubt about it. It's more than just a game. If you look hard enough, it can explain your life to you. And here I said I wasn't going to play any Touhou for a while. PoDD was exempt, but that should have been obvious.
So I also played some PoFV, naturally. Gonna shelve that soon though. Some PCB scoring. That's a strange kind of fun. Overall I'm losing motivation. It's kind of depressing, but at the same time, freeing. I'm going to end my moronic shmup hiatus now. It's served its purpose for me. Didn't take very long, but I learned something. (That's how stupid I am. Go ahead and laugh.)
This thread's about to close, right? Good thing I wasn't too late.
An unrelated note (more blithering). I've been thinking about Ten Desires. Of all the games after PoFV, I think it's my favorite. Funny, given my former attitude toward it. I've made other revelations too. Stepping away from something gives you a bigger picture, you might say.
-
Only stab at UFO Stage 5 tonight, managed to perfect the stage portion. The achievement was really more in me capturing the fairy-rush spam in the second half (Greatest Treasure went easy on me this time *sigh*) and confirming that I'm regaining my reflexes. Shou went horribly as usual, but I felt surprisingly at ease as I captured Complete Clarification. Who knows when I'll pull off another perfect run up to that card, but still.
-
PoFV Extra clear with Komachi (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24306) and with Shiki (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24307).
Got 4 deaths in stage 9 with Shiki, timer on the last round went so low it was ridiculous.
Shiki really is amazing at scoring clearing the screen with her lv.1 attack though, so I didn't have to worry about getting extends.
Guess I'm starting to like PoFV more and more :3
-
Cleaned up some StB levels from before. Most notably a 5 second improvement on 7-2 but also shaved off 2 seconds on 8-7 which made me happy. Hard to tell if these times are any good unless other people try them though.
-
I'm almost ready to start that up, don't worry. I just have to get around to adding times for stages 8-EX to the spreadsheet...
-
Exciting... I hope Seiga returns and gives something the 17k photo treatment.

2DNB EoSD Stage 6
Eternal Meek & Scarlet Meister
I was close to capturing Meister, ergo, I was close to a Perfect Remilia (tm). Ah well. Gensokyo's now at 4/98. Meister is at like 7/141 or something. :(
-
>Does a really bad Utsuho fight on Normal
>Captures Hell's Artificial Sun
What.
-
Woohoo, made it to Stage 5 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24313)! Thanks for your encouragement everyone! A bit more polish is needed on 2 and 3 but nothing a practice session won't solve.
I'm going to hit a wall soon, aren't I :ohdear:
-
It's good progress RNG. Good luck with getting through the hard bits of the game. :V (it's all pretty hard actually but the last two stages are just that much harder)
-

Congrats! You've gotten through the hard part of UFO. In a 1cc, stages 5 and 6 are easy because you pretty much are going to bomb everything :V. Just get enough resources from stages 1 through 4, and bomb bomb bomb!
-
My UFO lunatic progress is backwards :V
I went through and unlocked the stages, practiced Stage 6 until I capture everything, practiced Stage 5 a bunch, and only now have I started working on Stage 4. I've gotten everything planned except Nueball. I don't know how to do that consistently yet (LRLR was it?).
Stage 3 is utter crap and I never want to play it so there's that.
-
Just get enough resources from stages 1 through 4, and bomb bomb bomb!
This is the problem. I think that I'm going to work on Lunatic survival for a bit longer, doing individual stage practice, then see how well i can accumulate resources in a Hard mode run, then try to piece that together for a 1cc before going back to Lunatic. Thank god for different difficulty settings!
-
Exciting... I hope Seiga returns and gives something the 17k photo treatment.
You first second.I've gotten everything planned except Nueball. I don't know how to do that consistently yet (LRLR was it?).
I started on the right and moved left for blue waves and vice versa for red waves, making sure to position myself directly under the point where they're heading straight up to kill the most. I think that's what I generally did, it's been a while. <_<
-
I finally did it. I beat PCB Ultra Normal. My heart was pounding during the last 20 seconds of Reflowering. I would have captured it, if I hadn't gotten hit during the last 5 seconds. 0 lives and 4 bombs left.
-
> managed to beat EoSD lunatic with 3 attempts. just saying. xD
now for something less braggy.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24316
my first PoFV lunatic 1cc. it's obviously with komachi. I had a good reimu fight, which is why I had enough lives against eiki. the third round vs eiki took 3 minutes before she fell :v I was on my last hit, too.
BUT GUESS WHAT? I HAD ONE LIFE TO SPARE ANYWAY :V yeah. it's sort of a big step, I suppose. I may pick up PoDD, too. not sure yet. would be the first 98-shooter I seriously play.
and another thing, more minor, but still worth posting:
(http://www.abload.de/img/unbenanntgwfgp.jpg)
Perfect Stage 3 lunatic. no bombs, no deaths, you can do the math, actually.
"Because all the cool kids perfect Meiling" :v
I also captured LFS for the first time. but eh, doesn't help me if I die on it on every other run. I should probably work on a UFO 1cc instead of the random shit I've been doing to avoid playing that game.
-

1cc MoF Lunatic with ReimuC!! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24320)
All Reimu Shottypes Cleared!! :D
I'm unsure but... maybe I should all clear with the Marisa Shottypes... then this could be the 3rd game to 1cc lunatic all shottypes. I'm just sorta scared, cause Marisa Hitbox, and stuff. :wat:
But seriously, ReimuC, even with the stupidly spread shottype, somehow managed to fit enough shotguns and 1cc the game!
Of course, I had about 2 or so stupid stupid deaths with near max power because I was shot gunning for too long and got bullets spawned into my face, haha :derp: (freaking Sanae stars *AHEM*) and quite a few silly mistakes, eg. Aya non spells! Why on earth didn't I just bomb! Ahh well.
