Since I didn't see it yet, figured might as well.
Most recent fail:
Tried MS Normal, phailed badly against Alice, then that pair in Stage 4. I just gave up after the conclusion of that stage - there's no way I'd get to Shinki in that time. And this was after a nigh-perfect Stage 1 and 2. Damn rank system.
-
Let's see my recent Embarrassments...
-Got Broomed by Marisa as she was entering the screen with 5 bombs. -_-
-Cannot capture Buddhist Diamond in game when I captured it in Spell Practice on my first try
-My record for Mystia's midboss card sucks for some reason
-I die to Reisen's last card in the stupidest ways possible
-I deathbombed Kaguya's last card 5 seconds after the beginning wave. Yeah. I then died 10 seconds later.
-
Well, what have I failed at recently?
-Attemping to 1cc the UFO demo on Hard awhile back with SanaeA. Got to Ichirin with 3 lives and 2 bombs. Thought I had a pretty good shot.
...Wrong. I die TWICE to her first non-spell. First death I somehow backed into a bullet wave after clearing it trying to prepare for the next one. Second death was just me being stupid. That first death though...yeah.
I then bomb her first spellcard, get past her next non-spellcard, get fisted on her 2nd spellcard.
My final life goes bye bye on her last non-spellcard. Fail is me.
-Dying to the stage 2 midboss of EoSD on Hard...by hitting one of the knives. The easy to dodge knives by simply tapping left or right after they're fired. Yeah that was so wrong.
That all doesn't compare to what happened a couple days ago though...
-...I ram into one of the birds or whatever right after the EoSD stage 2 midboss. *Facepalms self*. Do I fail or what?
-
Pretty much something like this: '' OH SHIT I CAN DODGE THIS, BUT IM GOING TO MAKE A QUICK MOVEMENT SO I WILL DEFINETLY GET KILLED BY THAT BULLET COMING TOWARDS ME '' and such..
-
Most Embarassing Touhou Moments
Every time I play.
:(
-
Accidentally running the UFO demo at full screen and then thinking there would be no difference, followed by running into Nazrin's bullets twice.
-
I was playing IN Hard with Magic Team, and had gotten up to Kaguya. I was doing well, until I attempted to use the MAlice Cannon and got thrown off by the sticky keys popup...
-
Wtf. Dry run of SA Hard, perfect everything until Yugi.
NO BOMBING
CLIPDEATHS EVERYWHERE
LOL YOU DIE ON EVERYTHING
-
Doing the first 4 stages in any game perfectly with no deaths, minimal bombs and then withering away to your last life and no bombs at the final spell card due to nerves. :/
-
When you have to bomb Remilia's second non-spell card, it always feels like you lost something more than a bomb...
BTW, this was the same run I captured Scarlet Gensokyo in just now.
-
...Here's a total embarassment for you. My four year old sister is better than I am.
-
...Here's a total embarassment for you. My four year old sister is better than I am.
Prodigy!
...yeah that must crush your self-esteem a fair bit ;_;
-
Awhile ago I kept using up all my lives in SA on the second stage... On normal. I guess I got to confident and flew around with out noticing the bullets...
...Here's a total embarassment for you. My four year old sister is better than I am.
Wow.
Honest question, how is that so? Do you play in a awkward style your uncomfortable in, does your focus shift off the screen or just slow reaction time?
Or is your sister already developed enough to be able to catch on to video games at a young age and have fast reflexes?
-
All of my embarrassing moments come from being so mesmerized by "Oooh that danmaku pattern is pretty!" that I get killed.
That, or I'm too busy bopping my head and whistling along to a theme song that I mess up (Looking at you, Beloved Tomboyish Daughter).
-
3 lives for final boss in MoF, lost them all and win, my bonus score turned into complete crap.
FML
-
Once, I lost all my lives on MoF Stage 4. In PRACTICE MODE.
-
Went up to the top to grab power, promptly got decked by midboss Wriggle. Pain. I keep going anyway.
Went up to the top to grab points...promptly got decked by Mystia.
...argh.
-
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
When I realized I had never captured Scarlet Meister hard ironically, I opened up hard mode for the first time in ever. I died over and over again. Part of it is because I never bothered to play hard with anyone other than Marisa B (who despite being extremely awesome in the actual game kinda sucks in spell practice), and part of it is because I'm so used to the bullets being faster I kept dodging into bullets. And part of it was because for some reason I was controlling Marisa like a (9).

I swear I've got ADD or something. It's so hard to concentrate without singing along and losing my focus. I still need to get a replay of her playing.
-
Let's see, most embarassing?
Started StB and blind-rushed the very first boss hoping to shoot the crap out of her. :-[
Not the brightest idea ever, but still funny. ::)
-
I keep dying at the beginning of stage one UFO trying to get the UFOs...
-
I keep dying at the beginning of stage one UFO trying to get the UFOs...
I die constantly to the stage 1 of every shooting game I try to play. Usually repeatedly, for about half an hour straight, before actually getting some kind of actual run going. Do you know how many times I've failed Frost Columns? More than I'd like to admit.
Edit: Whaaaaa..... I just had what started out as the best SSG extra ever. A perfect stage run, and deathless Marisa fight (Four bombs. goddamn she's such bullshit). It was the first time ever that I'd gotten to Reimu with four lives, and then... I fell apart. I HAD FOUR LIVES HOW COULD I HAVE LOST DJFKLDS;AJ
-

Hmm a replay would be interesting. If you have trouble focusing just try to focus on the character at the start until you can start focusing on the screen as a whole with out spacing off... Or ask your sis for pointers!
Speaking of embarrassing here is one. Having not died once on a normal run in Imperishable Night only to use ALL your lives at Marisa.
-
I've had times when I wanted to show off my skills, and then I proceed to have a series of exceptionally bad runs of whatever, whether it be Normal story or Extra stage.
Really makes me look incompetent. I hate it. >_<
-
I suddenly lost all ability to do Sakuya's Jack the lude bile (First spellcard)
...It's like the easiest part of her boss fight yet I keep failing it :(
-
Lost to Yuyuko with Meiling :<
Then choose Sakuya and got hit like twice the entire battle
-
Random MoF run: got VoWG down to so little health that my death was enough to kill the spellcard.
-
My first run on Sakuya in EoSD almost 2 years ago. I was jubilant over finally defeating her. I thought, yeah! Remi next! Then finally Flandre! The one I've been waiting for!
...and that darned message came up 'replay the game on normal with no continues to challenge the last boss' or something like that. My heart sank, dead.
And I've still yet to reach Remi even now (For lack of trying, really. I just felt so discouraged by that stupid message that I hardly ever tried again.)
-
Didn't you wonder why the difficulty select said 5 stages for Easy?
-
Here we go!
SA Normal with ReimuB (aka Suika).
The run was going pretty good overall. Save for 1-2 failed spell cards from stages 1-4, there were 0 deaths. Enter Stage 5. My lives hit the max by the time I'm at the infamous ghost wheels (even at Normal, they prove to be a problem for me). So I clip a bullet. 1 life lost; point item value goes down (remember, I never died before that).
Stage 6 would be trivial (as it really should be, barring random spray from Utsuho's cards)...
...Enter Utsuho, capturing the 1st card. Bomb the second card once (BS walling of giant bullets). Then clip a blue bullet (-1 life). After recovering, moments later I clipped not once, not twice, but thrice on the last non-spell. At this point, I... was overwhelmed. 3 times?
I denied myself... 75 million points (extend from collecting at least 4 star pieces; 1 from stage 5). Score is standing at 465 million. I would've been at 540 million.
-
Random MoF run: got VoWG down to so little health that my death was enough to kill the spellcard.
Hey! I did that yesterday! It's more of a a rage moment than embarrassing, though.
-
This is almost too embarrassing to put here
I died twice at the easiest parts on the remi fight
The stupid dagger non card, and the streaming fireball bats...
If that's not 9 enough...I had bomb in stock both times...
-
after not playing for a while (as usual) i tried SA again, just to lose ALL my lives on stage 5 normal, TWICE
TWICE
i say again, TWICE
its embarrasing compared to how i normally do
-
I decided to try and time out Philospher's Stone... But I kept dying... On Silent Selene? What? I ended up deciding it wasn't meant to be.
-
I got to Koishi's last spell, and died TWICE.
Yes, that means I had full power on the life, but didn't even get a chance to bomb.
-

If it makes you feel better, I got slapped by that 5 times before the card ended.
Which in its own right, is an embarrassment, even on first try.
-
When I went to the POC I ran into Mokou when she was resurrecting. :(
-
When I went to the POC I ran into Mokou when she was resurrecting. :(
Mokou? Every once in a while I get distracted (Marisa mode: ON "ZOMG! ITEMS! ITEMS!"), rush to the point of collection and get smacked right in the face by the FIRST FAIRY with familiars on MYSTIA'S stage...
Also:
Every once in a while I'll forget that Orin, being the h4x that she is, gets to keep her hitbox after you beat her in the middle of stage 5 and happily either plain ram her up or get distracted and stay on her way as she's leaving the field and I'm getting the loot
-
That's why you collect items left or right to the boss. X_X
-
I just learned what Ghost Clifford is.
And I'm ashamed for failing it twice. It suddenly walls you off without warning and I don't know how to stop it. D: D: D:
-
I eat PoFV bullets way too much. Most recent humiliation was against Marisa, in Komachi Extra mode. Cue two L3 attacks coming in at high speed, and I don't have any spells handy. I manage to reach a safe spot, only to have said safe spot crash down around my ears when a bullet streaks down dead center.
-
On Koishi's stage, started the battle with no power, but didn't die once until Super Ego. On that card I fell all the way to my last life, but survived. Got all the way to her last spell, and lost most of my lives, I lose my final life in her exploding animation :-[
But wait, there's more! I was doing EoSD Easy to practice for doing a pacifist run, and on Cirno I was going to the famous safespot, and I ran right into Cirno.
-
That's why you collect items left or right to the boss. X_X
That's Orin I'm talking about!

Yeeaaahhh, I sorta knew it existed but when it came to uploading it I just felt... I dunno, more comfortable just uploading it to my mediafire account
I'm actually uploading it to Youtube now but since Premiere managed to make a 1:30 video 445 megs it's taking quite a while....
-
Holy Balls, all those people who say that long breaks from games make you better are goddamn liars. I just tried PCB stage 3 for the first time since 1ccing the game. It was hilarious. I failed EVERYTHING, except for Alice's trivial last nonspell and (strangely enough) Hanged Hourai Dolls. To think I used to be fairly decent at this stage...
-
Just died twice to Seven Stones and Seven Trees. In the exact same way.
-
Holy Balls, all those people who say that long breaks from games make you better are goddamn liars.
This.
A one day break can do wonders for me, probably because it gets rid of all that frustration, but if I stop for a week, then try again... MASSACRE TIME.
I just died 3 times to Remi's 2nd non-card (i.e. the one that is similar to Scarlet Meister) because I was too busy thinking - planning ahead for Scarlet Meister.
-
Finally managed to upload this. Bloody Premiere ...

Every single time I fight Reisen on IN Hard, I lose every ounce of skill I have, and die or bombn to every single phase. WTF?!
Opener:LOL I KELL YOU AT THE END
First card:Bomb, suck at this anyway
second non-card:LOL I KELL YOU AT THE END
Second card:LOL I KEEL YOU IN THE STUPIDIEST WAYS POSSIBLE
Third non-card:LOL I KEEL YOU AT THE END
Third card:Easy. Sometimes bomb when I do stupid crap
Fourth card:LOL I KEEL YOU SOMEHOW, EVEN THOUGH I'M LOLEASY\
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

Reisen has panic-inducing psychotropic eyes (and weird spells and bullets that rush right at your face). Even when you know what you have to do sometimes it's just... I understand how you feel...
-
There's a lot of these, but if I had to pick one, it'd probably be dying to Resurrection Butterfly with three bombs in stock, twice in a row, ruining my attempt of 1ccing normal.
I've achieved it since, but I went mental that time.
-
Embarassing?
Probably when I sing along to the music, making up lyrics about how I am shooting the boss in the face with laser beams.
I do this a lot.
It's a good thing that replays don't save this.

Aw, that's not embarrassing! That's awesome! Suwa Foughten Field is a favorite of mine to sing along. It makes for very interesting lyrics, considering the way the music is put together.

gah, got to the timeout spell in EoSD. I got trapped in a corner with no bombs or lives left, and thought, "crap I'm dead." but I somehow managed to survive by tapping to the right. thank goodness huh? no, I had to hit a stray bullet
goddamn
-
Hmmm.... today, even though I never tire of dissing the hell out of Virtue of the Wind God, Mountain of Faith (Virtue-Normal) did not let me get through Kanako (The bloody card just won't die! And then I get bored and end up slipping)
-
Very odd how I cannot beat MS Extra yet. I'm still working one BS pattern. That is, the one where she shoots billions of lasers and billions of micro-bullets/lasers. It's all in purple. Looks like the pattern in tHRtP, so I'd assume its just a matter of staying underneath her.
Oh, and the previous dual-pattern attack? With the "guided" lasers and other misc. unimportant bullets? (followed by the basic streaming pattern). When the attack ends, the lasers which have not materialized yet (i.e. are still moving to their position) materialize at that instant. So I was on top of one of those lasers when the attack ended. It's just... a stupid death.

This one gave me trouble for a very long time, but like you said the trick is to stay under Alice. The farther away you are from under her the more BS the attack gets.

That's her easiest phase. Just remember that you can never backtrack your movements and focus on the line bullets.

Kill it when she fires the easily-streamed aimed bullets, right when she fires them. That'll give you a lot of point items, which will help you get the Extend at 200 items. If you weren't getting it before, of course.

I played IN 6B easy in practice mode.
I died twice. :(
-
Generic Embarassing confession:
I bomb Icicle Fall... always...
-
Icicle Fall normal is actually pretty difficult as far as normal goes, don't feel bad.
-
Icicle Fall normal is actually pretty difficult as far as normal goes, don't feel bad.
It's actually quite easy. Stay at mid for three shots, then move right, and up, over the icicles. Haven't failed it once after I used that method.
-
Better bomb than losing a life to it.
-
Pretty much something like this: '' OH SHIT I CAN DODGE THIS, BUT IM GOING TO MAKE A QUICK MOVEMENT SO I WILL DEFINETLY GET KILLED BY THAT BULLET COMING TOWARDS ME '' and such..
Holy crap, I can relate to this. Especially when I'm using Marisa or some other fast character.
-
I often panic and waste a bomb on spell cards that I think are gonna end me, only for it to end right after I fire it.
-
EoSD Lunatic Practice mode Stage 6, reach Sakuya, psyching myself up for an attempt at an Eternal Meek capture.
Card starts.
High velocity bullet to the face.
I didn't even have time to react o_O
-
I play like if my hitbox is 10x10, so even when a bullet is only going to barely touch the sprite of the character I try to get away from it and often bump into something.
It doesn't happen (or rarely) on easy because I have enough time to notice the bullet and decide if I should dodge or not.

Capturing Eternal Meek lunatic isn't good for your health. Most random card in the series at very fast speeds = Headache. I've done it about 5 times.
-
How about when you dodge a bullet and, as you're moving, you realise you're putting yourself RIGHT under another bullet. But although you KNOW this is happening it's already too late and you can't react fast enough to fix the problem (bomb, correct your route...). So for that TINY instant, you can just sit there and watch as you make a move that you KNOW is going to kill you.
-
This is the end.
This is the end of all things.
I got hit by Sara.
Hold me. :'(
-
This is the end.
This is the end of all things.

I can only offer my most sincere condolences. That is much worse than what happened to me today. Or is it? I don't know. I died THREE damn times to Satoris recollection of Pandaemonium on Hard. I don't know but to my experience the spell is very easy so its pretty damn embarassing.
What would really be bad though was if i beat Extra in SA but bombed all non-spells.
Icicle Fall normal is actually pretty difficult as far as normal goes, don't feel bad.
How? That spell is pathetic. Reminds me of another embarrasment. I failed Icicle Fall on easy when i wanted to do it the right way.
-
I dunno, I haven't played normal in a very long time, so maybe it is pathetic now.
-
Icicle Fall -Normal- Can be tricky if you don't know exactly how far you need to be for the icicles to miss you entirely, it can take a couple a tries to get it down , especially if you're not very familiar with EoSD I think.
-
On my last normal run, I waited too much before going up on every wave of Icicle fall and had to dodge on the side. But once you have the timing down it's easy because you only have to dodge about 2 bullets.
-
I dunno, I haven't played normal in a very long time, so maybe it is pathetic now.
Well, duh!! Of course it is! That card can only pose a threat to those who don't understand the hit-box and the movement speed. I realized today how easy both of them are by timing both of them out, the easy version without focusing or vertical movement.
-
One of the worst experiences ever was dying on Rumia's first attack after trying to beat EoSD for a looong time without any breaks that day.
So yeah, I turned off the game at that point. Seeing how there is no way to fail even harder after trying to 1cc the game. >_>
-
I ALMOST 1cc'd PCB, but died on Yuyu's very last spell halfway through :'(
-
Got a Game Over on Mountain of Faith trying to graze Yasaka-sama's knives.
WHICH I HAD NO REASON FOR DOING, I realised afterwards. I don't get any points for it...
-
As I was going to upload my Last Word Time Outs to youtube, I noticed on Phoenix Rebirth that one of the phoenixes flew through me and completely missed. It was on the wing a bit, but still, I really should have died. Kind of embarrassing, more of a wait... what... really?
-
Simultaneous embarassment/accomplishment:
Why do I always seem to fail things at the very last microsecond possible? I was just a pixel of healthbar away from a perfect Alice battle. A PIXEL. But Hanged Hourai Dolls decided at the very last moment to rob that from me...
On the other hand I got a PCB PERFECT STAGE 2 LUNATIC RUN HELL YES. You all have no idea how long I've wanted to get this. God I hate Chen so much...;_;
Edit: Oh hey I just died to Hourai Elixir with 2 seconds on the timer. Imagine that...
-
...Did I just see what I thought I saw? brb.
EDIT: Yep, I did. I've always had trouble with Aya's opener because at the end I thought you had to fit in the tiny openings of the small blue "O" ring with clipdeath-happy pellet bullets. Then when I randomly watched Kefit's perfect Aya battle I noticed that theres an opening just above that ring where you don't have to go through any ring. I know I have nobody to blame but myself for missing this until now, but what the bloody hell.
At least I sort of made up for my stupidity by capturing Momizi for the second time ever.
-
Failed MS Easy.
Up to Shinki, only Mai and her goddamn laser really annoyed me, but I reached stage 6 with 5 lives so whatever.
On Shinki, I died twice on her spellcard with the curving yellow things, you know, those that are nearly impossible to see if you don't know about them because they don't stand out at all? I didn't even notice them until just before my SECOND death. Then a death because my keyboard refused to register shift+Z+X and didn't bomb.
Then I lose my last life because I fail at reading lasers. Forgot where else I died.
Also, is it just me, or is stage 1 really damn long?
-
It is really damn long. At something like two and a half minutes, it's the longest stage 1 in the series. Thankfully Dream Express is an awesome song, and keeps up the energy so it never really gets boring.
-
I had a good Stage 6 Lunatic MoF going.
Awesome faith meter level without bombing (~270k before Kanako, starts at 50k [practice]). Opening bombed, because its too hard. I still tried to dodge though.
Either way, I captured every spell card along the way to VoWG, and almost captured Mystery "Yamato Torus", bombing only in a panic. Enter VoWG. Within 10 seconds, I positioned myself incorrectly (not high enough on the screen) and lost it. Then I proceed to die 7+ times, bomb 5+ times before the torment ended.
-
Wow, I played like utter shit right there. I attempted EoSD lunatic, and started the run with a bang by bombing Rumia's opener. Long story short, bomb spamming, dying with bombs in stock twice in stage 5, and somehow still reaching Scarlet Meister. I should just cave and start playing max lives again (since bad endings really leave me down), but then it wouldn't be as satisfying.
I think I need to learn to play with Marisa A. Marisa B is great for getting through the game, but I care about making good runs now, and hellish Patchy battle aside, I think Marisa A is worth learning to deal with her tiny range.
Still...I felt like the knowledge that there is control lag made me screw up more.
-
Attempted timeout of "Hell's Artificial Sun" (Normal). Lowered the HP down as low as I could, attempted to time it out from there. It was going great. Then I clip a bullet after entering the "extra" phase (~30 seconds?) with 22 seconds left on the timer, ~8 seconds in. Marisa on Focus was barely fast enough to overpower from the pull of the spell card.
Needless to say, any attempt at moving horizontally had to be done with extreme care.
EDIT: 3 miss clear on the phase! Getting there.
-
Played a PCB Normal true pacifist with SakuyaA to attempt to alleviate the stress incurred by making completely idiotic mistakes in Stage 2. Guess what. I died in Stage 2, but not because of bullets.
I ran into the damn fairies as they were leaving the screen. Three times. I just quit after seeing the continue screen.
-
I just died to Ran's 3rd spellcard Youkai Fox Laser. :(
-
I just died to Ran's 3rd spellcard Youkai Fox Laser. :(
Ah? Then I have a new embarrassment: I can barely handle Youkai Fox Laser and die to it all the time. I do better at Princess Tenko than Youkai Fox Laser.
-
I just died to Ran's 3rd spellcard Youkai Fox Laser. :(
Why is this embarrassing again? It's not like its loleasy(Lavatein,Danmaku Paranoia, Ran's first card,etc.)
-
I died to Danmaku Paranoia 3 playthroughs in a row. I blame the fact I was using Marisa, as well as my joypad.
-
Why is this embarrassing again? It's not like its loleasy(Lavatein,Danmaku Paranoia, Ran's first card,etc.)
It's almost as easy as the first spellcard. Wizard Fox thoughts. >_<
It is when you are using sakuya A
-
Oh wow. I just had a pretty sweet Youmu battle. No bombs and one death. Why am I posting in this thread then? The death was to Eternal Truth(third boss card). I got hit by a red bullet. :(
-
You still don't compare to the beginning of my
ageless obsession with perfecting Youmu. I was just doing a casual run through of a stage I haven't done in a while, and decided for a change of pace to try Youmu's opening without the loophole. Cue death, I then proceed to perfect the rest of the fight, capturing Hell God Sword and Asura Sword for the first times ever. I would have gotten a perfect of the fight...if I had just done the loophole.
Now Hell God Sword hates me and all I stand for.
-
Why is this embarrassing again? It's not like its loleasy(Lavatein,Danmaku Paranoia, Ran's first card,etc.)
Ohoho, i have actually died to Danmaku Paranoia. Two times. Due to the clips and once to the knife-things swirling in the background.
-
I died to Danmaku Paranoia once because I died right at the end of the second attack (double ouch) and then didn't think and moved up to eat up my power items. So yeah there were kunai all over from my moving and I got hit again :( . That's actually two right there.
-
I just watched an EoSD extra replay of mine I've kept from December 2007 (sentimental value and such). I know this is supposed to be about current failures, but this was too painful. Considering I bombed Cranberry Trap when nothing was near me, I think this may have possibly been my first attempt at extra to reach Flandre and didn't know about her bomb immunity. It was SO bad, I obviously didn't know what streaming was, and I lost to Lavatein after bombing it 3 times.
It's so horrible to go back and look at what you once were. ;_;

Hmm... isn't it rather satisfying?
Looking back at some of my old replays like... whatever a MoF Normal run in which i bomb everything Sanae has to offer, i always get to smile knowing that today i almost master the battle and the stage on Lunatic. I don't know if its just me but looking back at times when you sucked can be very nice. Like, it just shows you how much better you have gotten.
Take for instance me always dying about 2 times at VoWG Lunatic. That's very annoying because its a spell i really want to capture. Though a couple of months ago i would die every second of it. I had to press through the entire Kanako battle strategically bombing stuff in order to preserve as many lives as possible for VoWG and then loose all remaning 6-7 lives in a matter of seconds.
So no matter how bad your old replays are, just think of them as indicators to how much you have improved rather than something you are ashamed of.

Many people seem to think SA is the hardest game on Normal (at least for Windows games), so I decided to see for myself.
I started playing like crap starting from stage 2, and eventually Game Over'd at midboss Orin (stage 5).
I'm not sure if I find it harder than EoSD, because I don't have enough experience with the game to judge that (it was only my 4th run overall).

It is WAY harder than EoSD Normal.... Stage by Stage Satori's might be the only one that's somewhat equivalent, since Patchy's library can be quite tricky.

i havent play IN lunatic with border team for some time now
with my first attempt i reached the famous hourai rainbow hell just to die
i feel really bad about this run.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=3321
for some reason i just panicked at some spells...
-
I just played IaMP normal.
;^_^ It took 50 minutes to 1cc, let's leave it at that.

SA has some very unique spell cards which force you to dodge a little differently that you normally would in other games, in addition to faster bullets and more streaming, which newbies are not used to. EoSD is very straightforward, using basic patterns and not many gimmicks.
-
I just lost 4 lives to Yukari's Spiriting Away. With 4 bombs each.
:(
-
After beating the extra stage on esod for my first time I managed to die to early fairy trash on level 1 because I was so sure of myself that I was "camping" the point of collection and got jumped.
-
Oh wow, worst thing to happen to me ever.
SA Hard run, except SA Hard is ridiculous and by the time I get to Satori I'm on 4 power with 0 lives. I had 4 star pieces, so I planned to grab the piece Satori drops after the non-spell to get a life.
Fight starts, I bomb the opener (my usual safe-spot from Normal wasn't there and I panicked), and she starts the card. I run up and grap the star, still invulnerable from the bomb. I start making my way back down.
Just when I'm right on top of Satori, the invulnerability wears off.
I got my extra life, and lost it 2 seconds later. I ended up dying on Flying Hornet's Nest, so yeah I'm probably never going to 1cc SA Hard.
-

To be honest, even if you hadn't lost your life there, BoWaP would probably have finished you off. SA Hard is in no way impossible (it was my third 1cc on Hard) but you have to put up with an incredible amount of stupidity from stage 3 onwards.
-
EoSD Extra. I manage to get to Counter Clock with all of two lives. And then I get to the second wave. Oh cool, I pass it. It goes through my head, "I think I just captured Counter Clock". I get to the easy as hell third wave and run into a bullet on twitch. Game over.
-
Got to Yuyuko on Lunatic Twice. Both of those times, I die twice with max bombs, and I end the runs failing...that fourth card, the loleasygraze one. YEAH. >_>
-
Watching GIL replays made me embarassed that I considered myself good. :'(
-
I just did the best stage 4 EoSD lunatic run I ever had ....followed by the worst Patchy fight I had in my life.
Died twice to her first non direction laser, died again to her 2nd , and then died on MERCURY POISON D:

I fail just about every Spell Card in a single run for SA Hard, and somehow still manage to make it to Stage 5.
1 life lost at Stage 1. 2 lives lost at Stage 2. 2 lives lost at Stage 3. 1 life lost for Stage 4, the rest for Stage 5.
I probably shouldn't be doing scoring and first 1cc's together.
-
I went through Stage 4 Hard on EoSD. I wanted to cap spells. I play as MarisaA and i capture anything Patchy have to offer. But then i get hit that "Water-Mercury"-whatever its called blue/yellow bullets crossing over spell. Considered the other stuff i did in that run, i'd consider dying to that pretty lousy.
-
Thinking this was a good idea:
(http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g229/Krimsun_Munkey/th029.jpg)
It would have been more embarrassing if it was the only miss in the stage, but I have a horrible tendency to twitchfuck Subterranean Rose, so that didn't happen.

Failed 1cc PoFV Normal with Reimu...
Even after 1cc'ed Lunatic. D:
Damn... I can't read the dense and slow danmaku...
Sometimes, this bs hides one or another fast bullet coming in my way.
-
LLS.
I forgot that one of (many?) Marisa's phases waves was a streaming-based one. Naturally, I was moving around unfocused; most of the waves were random-type at that point. By the time I realized, it was too late. Impassable star wall!
-
Normally, you would post here if you dodged into an easy to avoid bullet.
Yesterday, I dodged into an easy to avoid SUN.

Marisa's difficulty in LLS is all over the place. Since her attacks are completely random throughout the fight, and her attacks vary wildly in difficulty, you can either beat her no deaths or blow three lives on her. I guess if anything Reimu's consistent in difficulty...not that that helps. D:
So I don't have an embarrassing moment (unless you count my hilarious ineptitude at PoFV and how Ruro gets to laugh at me D:), but today I read a poem for the first time in years. It's written by the greatest poet ever, Shel Silverstein. After my experiences with Touhou, it seems rather...fitting.
The little blue engine looked up at the hill.
His light was weak, his whistle was shrill.
He was tired and small, and the hill was tall,
And his face blushed red as he softly said,
?I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.?
So he started up with a chug and a strain,
And he puffed and pulled with might and main.
And slowly he climbed, a foot at a time,
And his engine coughed as he whispered soft,
?I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.?
With a squeak and a creak and a toot and a sigh,
With an extra hope and an extra try,
He would not stop ? now he neared the top ?
And strong and proud he cried out loud,
?I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!?
He was almost there, when ? CRASH! SMASH! BASH!
He slid down and mashed into engine hash
On the rocks below... which goes to show
If the track is tough and the hill is rough,
THINKING you can just ain?t enough!

That would have been awesome if it had worked.

I was playing SA Easy (Yeah, yeah, I know) and got to Stage 5. And then I used like 3 continues on the stage because I kept running into the cat at the bottom left corner after the spell card. I would go to try and get the power-ups and life star and would just ram right into the cat right before it would disappear.

This is why I always, ALWAYS tell Nuclear Fusion not to run into the cat.

For some reason, I find Reimu's consistent difficulty means I can take a more methodical approach. And henceforth, easier.

Kurumi's 2nd phase is... worse than Mystia's mid-boss Spell Card. Granted it's not as dense, but the room you have to move, the size of the bullets, and the speed. I've had my runs stopped because I can't read it.
Also, I died on Yuka's 2nd phase [Stage 6]. You know, that really easy one. And not getting a perfect Stage 5 is an automatic embarrassment ;_; (excluding the pre-boss rings)
-
Yes, Kurumi's second phase is indeed BS, especially on max rank. I managed to capture it for the first time a couple weeks ago, and it was pure luck.
-
I game over'd on the six fairies at the beginning of MoF Stage 4.
-
i lost a continue on Cirno`s spellcard (Ice Sign "Icicle Fall") on easy..... (1st time playing anyways lol)

Twice.

You're not the only person to have that happen to you.
-
You're not the only person to have that happen to you.
On my first attempts on the final boss on SA, I would always get myself killed trying to get the lifestar dropped by the 2nd noncard during mega flare or whatever its called. It would always spawn right in the middle where the biggest pile of shrinking sun things would be.. Now I just pretty much ignore it.
-
Random PCB Hard run, stage 4 with 8/1 and reasonable score.
Finished the run with 0/1. Prismriver smackdown and forgetting to actually move before the Youmu fights. Beat Res. Butterfly but meh, I should still have done better.
-
After some incredible failures on SA extra stage (I get to Koishi once, and then die on Polygraph and game over on her first waterfall attack), I set off again to beat the stage without bombing.
I'm convinced that Sanae's third card is easy, and yet I screw it up almost everytime because of random bullets.
Never have I run into Sanae on this card though.
Until now.
And it was after she was clearing the card.

I mistook Jack the Ludo Bile with Za Warudo while shotgunning, and take all the red bubbles. No red bubbles failed to hit my hitbox. ALL of them, all over my face.
-
Just attempted Practice, Stage 5, Normal, Marisa B
I didn't even reach Orin's last spell.
The game gives you a stupid amount of lives AND I PROCEEDED TO LOST THEM.
I may have to bombspam Orin like woah. MarisaB's bombs actually do notable damage, at least.
-
I died to Catwalk. This isn't anything new, but my method of dying was. I somehow managed to run into one of the white bullets. You know, the stationary ones in the top half of the screen that aren't even doing anything? Those ones. Maybe it's time to take a break.
-
Ahhhh, Nothing like dying to Deflation World's yellow knives ten straight times.

Eh, it seemed easy for me at first, but as I get better it gets harder. Go figure. Nowdays it seems like the stupid yellow bullets are always where I need to be all the damn time. So now I just bomb it at the end.. maybe even 2 bombs. She gives you 1.5 energy afterwards, and it's pretty darn easy to fill up back to 4.0 before the final boss since all the big fairies at the end drop 0.25 each.
Kinda nice to have a bomb for the fast little fairies with the stupid bs I bounce for no reason in mid air and screw you over fairies right after her though.
-
Alice's Dolls collided into me while shotgunning ;_;
EDIT: Mai explodes by default.
-
wtf Ancestors Standing Beside Your Bed.
I used to have about an 80% capture rate on this card, now it's about 10 if I'm lucky.
-
Right, I give up.
Entering Yumeko with 6 lives, leave with 3.
Start Shinki with 4, lose it all. I didn't even make it that far.
Something is seriously going wrong.
New and ridiculous high score at least... ;_;
One wonders how it is entirely possible to mess up arguably the best run yet.

I don't get it...you can beat Yumeko no problem, who is one of the hardest bosses in the series for me...yet you fail at Shinki, who's only at about Utsuho level in difficulty.
-

Sometimes, Yumeko will be no problem (0-1 lives lost). More often than not, I die / bomb to opener more than once. Further, clipdeaths can occur, so it is entirely probably that I end up losing 3+ lives due to this.
Shinki's opener I can't do. That phase where I die for the last time (see: 4th screenshot) as well. Don't know why. And considering my past runs, I would say that "on average" it would take me 2-3 lives (+bombs) to beat her. So let's just say that... it's one of those runs where everything goes wrong.
---
I'll be giving this one last go, once I come back from exam revision.
-
Shinki is not THAT hard.
Most of her attacks is not a OH GOD BS, less that interphase when she opens her white "wings" - autodeath/autobomb- and that guided laz0rs (this one always takes of me all my bombs and the current life). Though, any careless movement is a life or a bomb less for you... I say, you, most of time you have no much room for wrong movements, but the patterns are easy.

I almost don't want to tell you because you people are already hurting my ego as "PC-98 master", but I'm not cruel. I discovered that when Shinki opens her white wings, everything above her is a safespot.
And sheesh, you kids find Yumeko easy, but cheeto lasers is hard? I've beaten the attack with only one bomb for safety twice.
-

There's the problem in the first place. It doesn't matter how easy a pattern gets. It's all about the likelihood of touching a bullet.
And sheesh, you kids find Yumeko easy, but cheeto lasers is hard? I've beaten the attack with only one bomb for safety twice.
...cheeto lasers? Which phase?
---
Also, going for another attempt now, since I'm back.
-
I sure as hell don't find Yumeko easy. ;_; During my run I think I managed to switch streams once during her laser attack, and that's probably the best I'm ever going to do.
For Shinki, her opener seems more than a little BS. If she gets too low on the screen, that curving wave she fires can be almost impossible to slip through without making a lightning fast pixel-perfect dodge. The rest of her attacks are just fairly complex streaming. Not trivial, but not really all that bad either (and cheeto lasers is crazy fun. ZUN needs to bring them back).
-
Merlin's opener has the descendents of the cheeto lasers.
@Baity: Cheeto lasers are the name given to the yellow curvy bullets that home in on your position. Cheeto lasers is the name given to the phase where Shinki spams them like it's world's end (har har har).
For Shinki, her opener seems more than a little BS. If she gets too low on the screen, that curving wave she fires can be almost impossible to slip through without making a lightning fast pixel-perfect dodge.
Every single dodge is entirely possible, at least with Mima. Trust me, these pixel perfect dodges are easier than they look, even when Shinki is low on the screen. MUCH more BS is a rare glitch where as soon as the fight begins (meaning as soon as the dialogue ends), you die arbitrarily. It's only happened to me twice ever, and neither time did it stop me from 1ccing, but DAMN IT it's a terrible glitch.
-

Oh. Well there's my problem. :P

I'm not 100% sure, but I think that only happens if you're near the top half of the screen at the beginning of her fight. I remember the first time I got to her I tried shotgunning her at the start and got glitch-killed. Since then I've stayed at the bottom and it hasn't happened to me since...
-

It's not cheap at all. It's just once I lose my rhythm, I immediately force-bomb until it's over because I can never regain it back.
-
PC-98 master
That would be Trance. =V
So anyways, in an attempt of MS Hard, the deaths and bombs figure was this:
8 deaths
11 bombs
...Would've 1cc'd it if I didn't suck so much with the bombs, or die 4 times with 3 bombs. Got to Shinki.
-
[oh, it's a quote]I discovered that when Shinki opens her white wings, everything above her is a safespot.[ends here]
I tried this before you said.
I died. Really, I died right in the time she unleashed that damned shots. I'm certain that none of them hit me.
Ah, no.... I don't find Yumeko easy... she's the hard as hell. I figured it out when I was playing my first Normal runs. I think she's the hardest stage 5 boss, only after Orin.
-
I tried this before you said.

I died to one of the BoWaP fairies right before Utsuho in a practise run earlier today :/
-
I died five times on Stage 6 SA Normal. Before Okuu. How the hell did i manage to do that?! That almost qualifies as an accomplishment! Of epic fail that is!
Ehmmm... died to Letty's first spellcard on Hard mode. At that time i was about ready to throw myself out of the window. My cola didn't even taste well. Not sure its related but whatever.
Then i failed Mokou's first spellcard while showing off to classmates. That was not supposed to happen. At least i got it at second attempt. It is quite easy after all but they didn't seem to think so.

I find my gaming skill takes a nosedive when people are watching me, regardless of if they are gamers too or not...sometimes I feel myself get nervous when my DOG is watching ffs.
-
You'll probably get more nervous when people are watching you. After all you don't want to screw up while people are watching you. If you, however, don't screw up you will feel twice the satisfaction.
That's one thing replays are good for. If you are no good at playing with people in your vicinity you can always save the replay and show it to them later. When i showed my timeout of Spell 21 i was officially labeled a nerd and a no-life.
-
Did a perfect run on the stage part of MoF Extra.
And then died three times before even getting past her first two cards.
-
I died on the stage portion in stage 2 of IN due to not remembering where the enemies spawned. TWICE.
-
So I believe this is what's commonly referred to as 'epic fail.'
(http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/5760/infail.jpg)
-
So I was playing some SA earlier and my uncle came in to ask me something. I thought I had paused the game but it turns out that I hadn't.
Game over on Stage 2 ftw.
-
...Whut. How is that even possible? I thought in IN you were invincible while the boss was exploding. Not only that, but there's no bullet near your hitbox, meaning you must have been hit by a stray. The only way I see this could have happened is if you got hit by a single stray bullet and died just before your shots were enough to kill Kaguya.
...If that is the case, ;_;

Actually, when I died I was in the bottom left of the screen (notice those time orbs still floating about in that area). I would assume the hitbox in the middle of the screen was me 'respawning,' even though I have no lives left and thus instantly get a game over.
And about the invincibility, yes, that's because I died at the exact last split-second that I could have possibly died. As I said, epic fail.
-
...I just clipped Frog Hunting "Frog Is Eaten by Snake due to the Croak" a.k.a. one of the easier Spell Cards...
I even had 660k Faith at that point.
-
I began Easy Mode on Embodiment of Scarlet Devil because I was frustrated after having barely slipped through Stage 5 only to ram right into Remilia's bullets...
... And completely lost all of my lives at Rumia.

When I tried capturing spellcards in PCB to have at least 60, I somehow managed to fail "Lingering Cold - Hard" about ten times. I'm 2/2 on Lunatic, why do I suck so much on hard?
I eventually got it, then managed to get that 1 spellcard in stage 2 I hadn't captured (not sure if it's Chen second or third).
Stage 3, I almost capture Alice's second spellcard, but then I bomb for absolutely no reason. No threat, and the sole reason I was doing this run was to capture spellcards, so that was dumb.
Then I proceed to die while her last spellcard ends.
Stage 4, used one continue, and captured the Prismrivers last two spells.
Stage 5, a bullet from Youmu's opener spawns on me (not sure boss or mid-boss). Ugh
Stage 6, I run out of continues on Yuyuko's second non-spell even though I used 2 bombs on it.
Well, I captured the 6 new spellcards (11 total) I needed to reach 60, so I somehow managed to reach my goal anyway.

Stage 3 of this (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=3652) run.
I saved the replay because I wanted to study what on earth happened in stage 1 (after messing up the very first fairies I somehow managed to prevent any red fairies from shooting their big spreads), and then thought maybe you'd like to enjoy some light comedy. Midboss Meiling and onwards.

Apparently the difference in speed between Reimu and Marisa is a big one in EoSD.
I tried using Marisa for a change and ran into bullets. A lot. I even ran into one of the spirit bird things after the Midboss of Stage 2. I was running around shooting and collecting powerups and just rammed right into a stray.
Honestly, I should just stick to Reimu...
-
I began Easy Mode on Embodiment of Scarlet Devil because I was frustrated after having barely slipped through Stage 5 only to ram right into Remilia's bullets...
... And completely lost all of my lives at Rumia.
/headdesk
Maaji? Easy mode? KIMOI!

You mean the white sprites that fall on your head thingies?
Also: No, you should come all the way to the Marisa side of the Force.
ALSO Also: This thread seems to have a severe lack of traffic accidents. Maybe I should start playing SA again. Been away for a while...

Died numerous times to Shiki when doing PoFV Extra.
The timer went down... down to the laughable 9 seconds...

Every time I get killed by leftover bullets after the boss dies, God kills a kitten.
I feel like I should stop, because I have a lot of blood on my hands now. ;_;

HAH! You think that's bad? I didn't really document my horrors with clearing PoFV extra with Komachi, but here's one for the thread:
I'm at Shikieiki, right? After literally 2 hours of straight attempts, I have her! It's shot chance! She activates a level 2 spell attack and shoots these two sticks (forget what her yama sticks are called), no stray bullets, just-
And I run into these slow moving lone sticks and lose the game.

As in, match starts with 9 seconds on my timer >_>
Surely, a victory like that is meaningless. Oh, and this was with Reimu.
It's much easier with Komachi, if you know how to use her (somewhat) properly.

I somehow failed Alice's midboss card. I dunno how it happened. I just failed it. =V

Also, note the number of "attempts".

The highlight of the screenshot are in the red boxes.
You can see my (unpolished) scoring run sitting there at the top, being the only MoF Hard 1cc that I've done.
Of course, it would be much simpler if I just streamed everything, but nooo~, I just have to go and make things complicated by trying (heavy emphasis this time) to beat my older score.
-
...
I just got hit by the laser in Yukari's Spiriting Away. I think my Touhou playing career has just reached an all-time low.
-
Perfect Freeze.
What's going through my head "Oh crap! All the bullets are going to start moving again, I'd better move out of the way. The right should be empty."
I run smack into a frozen bullet cause I thought it was off the screen >.<
-
...I just died to "Danmaku Bounded Field".
On the last wave, game over'd. Made the final swing too early, hit a stationary bullet. [F]'s fly.
First attempt at Phantasm as well.
And no, I don't find Phantasm "just" a more difficult version of Extra. If that were the case, I wouldn't have died (not just bombed) twice to several Spell Cards.
-
And no, I don't find Phantasm "just" a more difficult version of Extra. If that were the case, I wouldn't have died (not just bombed) twice to several Spell Cards.
Some cards in Phantasm are easier then their Extra counterparts. Most extreme examples are Shikigami "Chen" to "Ran" and Charming Siege From All Sides to Straight and Curve. Then there's Tenko to Spiriting Away, although they're both easy, and some say that Laser Mesh is easier then Fox-Tanuki Laser. Lastly, there's the Buddhist cards that are essentially the same difficulty, although Yukari's is SLIGHTLY(read:not enough to make a differnce) harder. So yeah.
-
Some are easier, granted. But some were changed dramatically, which caused "lol" deaths.
Going to leave it for a while
And in other news, Aya destroys my scoring run again. This time, it isn't that bad of a destruction. 850k Faith (still a bit low, but eh), to just under 400k. Going to finish it and see what I get.
Clipdeath on "Crossroads", one of the easiest Spell Cards for Hard/Lunatic, which caused about a 270k drop. Then a clipdeath on that Spell Card, which caused another 180k drop or so. I still used a bomb as well.
Further, I started the battle with 1.xx power, which meant that I used 4 bombs too many. I blame the post-Momizi BS -> cumulative effect; I had to bomb everywhere because there wasn't enough power for me to kill fast enough.
EDIT: oh crap, a bomb too early, causing me to lose 50% score; didn't do it close enough to PoC.
EDIT 2: I think it's salvageable.
970k Faith.
Might be able to beat my score if I can do a no-death run of Kanako.
EDIT 3: death on opener goddammit. There's no way it'll win now.
/quit.
EDIT 4: minor accomplishment, so I can't be bothered making a post. I just figured out how Kappa "Monster Cucumber" / "Exteeeending Aaaaarm" works.

I rarely got hit by the bullet, but crash into the bullet oftenly >.<

I got hit by Cirno in PCB Hard. The non-spell and what more than that i decide to play EoSD on Hard in which run i fail at all of Cirno's spells except for Perfect Freeze. She really must've hated me today.

I still can't fathom how people say some are easier.
Shikigami chen has never made me bomb or die once.. ever.. I still have a high chance to screw up ran. Xandu is also a much harder version for me because of the bs random lasers that give you virtually no time to react before they turn lethal. Sometimes I have to cut in between two large bubble bullets, there is no other option, and wham, laser right there. So cheap, thing is it happens so often. Again, Ran's version has no luck aspect to it, it's like a 100% static spell that is quite frankly, easy. I've never died or bombed that one once either.
Tenko and spiriting away are the same for me.
Laser mesh is super hard for yukari for me. I don't see how people say it's easy, it's scarlet meister hard for me. I just can't seem to get how people have an easy time reading where to dodge the bullets while paying attention to the lasers at the same time. The bullet spreads offer very little room for error for me frequently. Feels like I'm dodging starbrow break and young demon lord at the same time. ICK. Ran's version kills me too sometimes, not nearly as often though.
The only one I find easier is yukari's spell that replaces 12 general gods. Even then I rekon 12 general gods is probably easier if I try it again since learning those side butterfly bullets are aimed.

... There are lasers? o_o
Am I blind?
-
I never noticed the lasers until dying to them after playing Phantasm for a while. There's a lot of room so I try to be mindful of Yukari's position so as to not be caught to the side of her when the lasers close in. Never encountered a situation where the bubble bullets forced you into certain demise. More than I can say about Ran's version, but no use throwing out another view without support, yet.
-
Charming Siege is much harder than Xanadu simply because Charming Siege doesn't wall you in with how small your area of movement gets. Xanadu still has bubble bullet shenanigans which is my Touhou pet peeve, but it's still not near as bad. The lasers are almost unnoticeable honestly.
-
I failed...EoSD extra.
Do you know how long it's been...since I've failed an extra?

Yeah, she very occasionally shoots lasers that last just like 1 second and that's it.. There is no seeing them and avoiding them it's just.. there.. and you're dead.. Kills me like every time cuz of bad luck... sigh.

Exactly. they are unnoticeable..until you you notice yourself dead cuz of one first.
Charming siege has only "walled" me in one time.. which was when I started the spellcard at the bottom. I find if you start the spellcard closer to the top, you always have plenty of room.
-
Yeah, she very occasionally shoots lasers that last just like 1 second and that's it.. There is no seeing them and avoiding them it's just.. there.. and you're dead.. Kills me like every time cuz of bad luck... sigh.
No offense, but I can't help but question your methods for dodging it. She only fires those lasers way off to the sides, so as long as you're underneath her and don't wander way off they're not even a factor. She doesn't even move very much in that spell, so just stay in the middle.
On the subject of extra's, I tried IN's today for the first time in a while, and I remembered just how much I hate Mokou's spellcards. Even though they all seem easy and really SHOULD be easy, I manage to get hit in the most idiotic and foolish ways possible. Some kind soul should hack IN and make the rings available for spell practice. That would be sweet.
-
Protip on Shikigami "Ran":You can dodge it all by staying at the bottom. Ran's bullets that spread out from when she hits the bottom are never in line with the bottom, so that means you can dodge it completely horizontally. Just don't get hit by Ran, or stay too close to where she lands.
And the lasers are a non-factor in Straight and Curve. You shouldn't be any where near them during the card.
Spiriting Away has larger gaps, and it doesn't speed up. Tenko is a joke(except for maybe ReimuA and SakuyaA, due to how Tenko goes faster the longer it is alive), but Spiriting Away is a even bigger joke.
-

:parseerage:
On topic, yesterday I had other of those "I suck" days. My 12/100 on Honest Man's Death just became 15/200. True story, brah.
-
I timed out Satori's first and second spell as ReimuA and then i die to BoWaP. Doh!
-
I do not deserve to be playing Touhou.
Game over the first run on Suwako, right before Iron Rings. I had no lives going into Suwako.
Tried again, and cleared Suwako, but with no lives. Had to bomb Two Bows and Two Claps twice, died on the next attack (the one with the red cards from the side), died on Trees and Stones, died on the red cards -again-, and thend ied on the final two cards.
Koishi was no better. Restarted the first run.
Died on pre Sanae. Died on Miracle Fruit. Missed the star after Koishi's first attack. Died on the purple big bullet wave... things. Died twice to Genetics (I hate that thing so much, but I will get it one of these days) and then died on a stupid move to Philosphy. I ran into a yellow bullet for no reason other than it was there.
Ya, I think I'm tired and shouldn't be playing tonight.

I'm currently uploading like a 10 second youtube video of me getting nailed by one such laser right now. I WAS under yukari, I had to dodge bubble bullets, I decided to turn right as I do so, after circling around it, I went back to the left (I don't know about you but when I dodge those giant bullets in xandu I circle back to where I was to begin wiht after I dodge a pair).. only while I was moving back Yukari moved to the right, and fired a laser right at me. As you can see I didn't move away from directly under her, and she moved away from me for only just a single second..which is apparently long enough to get wtfpwnt by a laser afterwards.
here we go.. I lied it's 5 seconds long.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMc0c484av8
note, she moves immediately in the video.. but she was standing in that left hand spot for a good 10 seconds or so beforehand.
-
Ya, watched that video, You weren't under her. That was entirely your fault.
-
Dodge the bubbles with mostly vertical movement. You can use small horizontal nudges to position yourself properly if you need to, but use mostly vertical movement. From my experience, Yukari's movement in a lot of her attacks is based on how much you move horizontally. So with mostly vertical movement she'll stick to the center and the lasers won't kill you.
-
Ya, watched that video, You weren't under her. That was entirely your fault.
if you say so, the video clearly shows she *JUST* moved.
Besides, if you look at the next wave of giant bubble bullets, you would have seen that I would have moved to the left to where I was to begin with to get thru the next wave.. Now I'm not saying that situation was 100% impossible. It's just I didn't do anything "stupid" there, and yet I got nailed for it with pretty much no warning.
-
I'm very inclined to disagree with your opinion here. Then again, from an outside perspective, I can freely admit that I am seeing something different from you.
Edit: Ya, I see a good second of time between she moves and when the laser goes off.
-
Tried EoSD lunatic for the first time.
That was emasculating.
-
Due to a request I went ahead and did a pacifist run of Ran.
All my deaths were dumb as hell. Got hit by one of the very first bullets since I wasn't paying attention and forgot to stream. Yes, that dumb.
Successfully navigated Fox-Tanuki laser and then FLEW INTO A STATIC LASER right as it timed out.
Got cheap-shotted on Charming Siege. Then again, it was Charming Siege. Still an annoying death though due to misreading the bullet's movement.
Capping it off was a really retarded fail on Shikigami Chen.
Still finished with two lives, but, well, urgh.
Honestly, I could probably no-death pacifist Ran but I don't think even I'm that masochistic.
-
Well, I didn't notice Mai's laser that follows you.. I just stood there and BOOM she killed me.
And I didn't notice Shinki's yellow thingies that aim at you..
I am silly
-
Due to a request I went ahead and did a pacifist run of Ran.
So my pacifist LLS extra request is worth nothing? *wails*
-
I failed to pull the first scoring bomb against Hina's Mid-Boss Spell Card. All it involves is running yourself into her, and bombing. Of all the things...
EDIT: ...my Spell Card History is great for Stage 1.
-
Due to a request I went ahead and did a pacifist run of Ran.
So my pacifist LLS extra request is worth nothing? *wails*
I might give that a shot sometime soon. The only other request I have currently is pacifist lunatic EoSD stage 6, and... Well....
-
Playing SoEW hard on a whim (I don't want to play lunatic again because all it does is add a bunch of aimed bullets, and frankly that's just stupid), cleared 1/0 fine, but I made a huge derp mistake. Because 6 is max lives in this game, you have to suicide to get all the lives unless you suck at the game. So I suicided against the second stage 4 midboss. Problem? I died with full bombs in stock before I beat her. DERP.
BTW, I confirmed that however that Story of Eastern Wind remake made the green spam attack the Magic Stones fire, the strategy there doesn't work on SoEW, or on hard it's completely different. Good to know.
-
Have I ever mentioned that I hate Touhou stage 1's? Here's why:
Decided to fire up MS and do a runthrough. The first four or so were cut short when I died to the opening waves of ghosts every time trying to get the power items. The next three or so had me dying before or right after the midboss, usually from colliding with an enemy or hitting a bullet in an attempt to get the points at full value (see, I actually like playing MS for score, unlike most of the other games). The next run was FABULOUS. No screwups, got a good deal of power, and max dreamgauge by the end. Then I died to the preboss wave. Yes, that preboss wave. Then I had a kinda decent but not as good run; got average power, filled dreamgauge to about 3/4... got past Sara alright, then died to one of the first bullets in stage 2. How the hell did I 1cc this game so quickly again?
I also tried PoDD again while I was at it, and it's just as stupid as I remember it being. I sort of feel bad about it though, since it might actually be an alright game if it didn't derive most of its difficulty from giving me seizures. I like being able to see the bullets that are coming at me, kthxbai.
-
Dieing to Kanako twice... in a row... (no bombs/deathbombing just crashing into bullets and dieing)
-
I play PoDD lunatic, make it to stage 7 before continuing. 'kay, not bad. Enter Chiyuri, exit with no continues and one life, which is lost not long into Yumemi.
Oh PoDD...I can see our relationship will not be a sweet one. <3

Hard difficulty. Five fucking rounds. 3 default lives, 3 score lives, one death on Aya, and went down to the last life from Shiki's cheating AI. The 5th round was when I finally realized you can abuse the cheating AI by going pacifist, sitting around not giving her any bullets to deflect, and running down the imaginary timer until the cheating AI decides it's time for her to ram into a random bullet.
I'm embarrassed that it took me that many lives to beat her, and that it took me that long to realize the usefulness of the calm strategy against the cheating AI (and I cannot stress enough how much The Computer is a Cheating Bastard (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheComputerIsACheatingBastard)).
-
Wait...you mean there's actually a timer? Ah...this may possibly make things easier...
-
I don't know, I may be imagining things (me calling it an "imaginary timer" implies that I don't know whether the idea actually exists or it's just in my head). The idea isn't working so well on Lunatic. Maybe it's because it's Lunatic. Maybe I'm entirely wrong and Shiki just became particularly retarded after I died to her 4 times that she was dying to Easy level danmaku when I wasn't firing (I'm fairly certain about the existence of a rank system).
I'm probably just overthinking it. It's a theory that might be worth investigation, but don't mistake what I said for truth.
-
I have to thank you deeply. With this knowledge, even a rather bad run of PoDD lunatic got me to stage 7. Also, the rank system in the phantasmagoria games is very purposeful and intentional; the more charge attacks used, the faster the game gets. There's even a counter to show the current rank.
-
I was aware of the numbers regarding spell intensity, but I was more referring to the rank of how stupid the computer gets. They always seem to die faster after I've died to them.
-
I can handily vouch for that - once, Komachi immediately ran into an L2 attack I fired right as the (third) round began.
-
I just died on the first wave of Danmaku Bounded Field... by running into the outside border.
-
Okay, so I perfect the stage portion of MoF stage 5, and think that I may have a chance at perfecting this stage. Sanae's opener ends up killing me while it disappears. I then proceed to die twice on Overly Bright Guest Stars, die twice on Moses' Miracle, die to her THIRD NON-SPELL, and twice to FREAKING YASAKA'S DIVINE WIND!
I don't know how I'm ever going to live this down...

Playing CtC, Ran fires off a ring of bullets before she starts her spell card. I'm trying to grazewhore these bullets for Hakurei Points, and Ran's portrait appears to the side as she begins the spell card. That is, it appears to the side where I'm grazewhoring. With my position and the bullets obscured by the portrait, fail was inevitable.

I almost Game-over'd PCB extra last night. Random death just after Chen, flubbed Banquet, died *twice* to Charming Siege, died at Kokkuri-San's Contract *AGAIN* (humans/youkai at least has a safespot for the last 7 seconds) and had to use 2 bombs to survive Descent because Ran decided to move a gazillion times.

Plowing into a bullet immediately after defeating the stage 5 midboss in Mystic Square, thus losing a life (with bombs in stock!) and causing the 1up that would be typically gained from it to drop.
Somehow I still managed to 1cc the game after that.
On a side note, I really, really, really despise MS stage 4. Pale blue bullets on a light blue BG? Abnormally dense bullets with PC-98 hitbox wonkiness and invisible hitboxes? Random aimed WHITE pellets on top of the same light blue BG? What the hell was ZUN drinking when he designed this stage, anyway?
-
what pisses me off most nowadays is dying with bombs in stock..
i'm always SO SURE i can dodge those bullets... and i do! and then a random slower one hits me.... gah it's frustrating...

It's even worse when you think you have bombs in stock, but you don't. Then you're cornered and try to bomb and then the panic sets in. ):

The real sad part is that with the exception of the random white pellet part, I can still see all the bullets fine. The stage is still annoying on lunatic though.
-
I'm finding MS Lunatic's difficulty to be really exaggerated lately. Maybe I've just gotten a lot better since the last time I 1cc'd the damn thing, but to me the first 3 stages seem scarcely harder than Hard and the only thing I need to bomb on is Luize's swirly-red-arrow attack of doom and occasionally one or two of Alice's attacks. Of Yumeko I'm capping her first streaming attack about 60% of the time now (her second is still a bombfest though) and I routinely perfect Yuki Solo now.
Of course I make up for this by routinely screwing up on all the stages and finding stage 4 basically impossible for visibility and bullet density reasons (one of these days I will develop proper hitbox sense for Mima. One of these days. Seriously.)
On a side note, donut (or anyone else): How do you do:
- That attack that Shinki does when she opens her wings. It's trivial below Lunatic but on Lunatic it's basically complete luck and a bullet wall.
- Shinki cheeto lasers. Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus. I can do Yuki/Mai cheeto lasers fine, but Shinki's still elude me because they seem to move FASTER THAN UNFOCUSSED MIMA'S MOVEMENT SPEED. What the hell?
-
Heh, Shinki's wing opening attack is rage-inducingly simple. I don't know if ZUN intended it or not, but I noticed something in a video once, tried it, and realized it worked on all difficulties. To dodge this attack 100% of the time, move above Shinki. Everything above Shinki is a blind spot here. It's really jaw dropping that such a hard attack is so simple, but there you go.
As for cheeto lasers, I continue to think they're fairly easy and can beat them on one bomb. Quite simply, you need to misdirect them as much as you can. The bottom of the screen = death on this phase, so only use it when you absolutely have to.
-
So in my last IN 4b run, I managed to capture both Asteroid Belt and her UTTER BS second nonspell in the same run, which I've never managed to do before.

Getting clip deathed by Next History of Phantasm.
Dying to Luna AGAIN (IN death fairy BTW).

Dying to Honest Man's death because a sudden momentary freeze canceled my button input (this is the only series where that is an actual issue and not an excuse...)
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
-
Ahaha...oh, WOW. Seriously, just...WOW.
My Windows Touhou skills completely atrophied from playing too much PC-98 Touhou.
As in, I tried PCB Lunatic...and I game overed at Phoenix Spread Wings.
IN Lunatic made it to General Headquarters Crisis.
EoSD Lunatic crashed on Koakuma.
It's such a bizarrely different skillset...
-
Most embarassing, you say?
Using a bomb on Rumia Normal............and still die on her a few seconds later. >_>
or
Run through Stage 1-3 EoSD on Normal flawlessly only to lose all your lives to Patchouli.
-
Laevatein is Flandre's spellcard I died the most against.
-
I just got raped by Lunatic IN. Didn't even get through Erin, despite massive continue using.
And only minor slow down incurred. I need to figure out the custom options to get the game on windowed.
-
New low: I just game over'd twice on HRtP, Stage 18 Hell (Jigoku) Route. No turrets there. Which means the difficulty is the same for Easy / Normal / Hard.
@'nut: for HRtP, I'm still inclined to say that Heaven is easier than Hell, even on Hard.
EDIT: 2cc Heaven / Makai Route, game over'd to Sariel once (first time through again; 5 bombs in stock, many wasted as well), then defeated Sariel with the base resources.

On another note; this.

Don't mind the purple-ness of it (emulation), but note what's in the background. Never noticed it before...
EDIT 2: I seem to be getting better already. 1 death, no bomb clear of Mima.
I fly! Soar to newer heights!

Not so many memorable embarassing moments aside from the arrow keys and diagonal movement incident. And a link to the run because everyone totally wants to sit through the replay to witness one inane death.

-
Running through Phantasm, almost scoring my first victory. On the last card (Well, the last card she shares with Ran, not sure about her true last card) I went in with 4 bombs. Having beat Ran's version of this card with one bomb, I felt rather confident on using 3 max, but hopefully only one or better, zero.
I use all four, and die before her health hit 1 fourth left. Is it health based, or time based on how new parts to the waves are introduced?
-
Health based until she comes out with the blue butterflies. At 30 seconds, regardless of health she explodes with every wave propelling super fast.
-
Playthrough of MoF Hard. No lives lost yet, start of stage 3.
I let one fairy live a second longer to stop myself losing a ton of faith. When the time comes, I start shooting and fly up to grab the point item...
smashing into the fairy, who hadn't died yet.
-
I got through the stage portion of phantasm with one death: On the final part of the pre-boss waves. I still need to learn that...anyone have a good consistent way to dodge it?
So I play through Yukari's fight without getting hit, then die with 4 bombs in stock on BoHaY. Then I die trying to capture BoLaD without the loophole (it enters hardest spell card in the series material if you do this), then on Danmaku Bounded Field, I get through the fourth wave without the loophole for the first time ever, then die while trying to grazewhore the last wave (I FAIL at scoring, but I love grazing this attack). So in conclusion, I turned a one death run into a four death run because I got careless. Good thing I was just playing for laughs.
-
I got through the stage portion of phantasm with one death: On the final part of the pre-boss waves. I still need to learn that...anyone have a good consistent way to dodge it?
Check out Yoslime's (I think that's who it was) Extra walkthrough for the first part. As soon as the last Extra wave goes, go to the top of the screen and make short cuts left and right to dodge the first three waves. On the last one that appears close, head to the right edge and down. Then comes a crazy part that has them coming in from all sides. I'm clueless here. I bomb at the last second and it usually lasts the remainder of the wave.
This probably isn't that helpful since it still uses a bomb, but it's what I used every attempt.
-
Ahem...the FINAL part of the waves, i.e the one where you said to bomb. >_> I've survived this part before, but never have I learned to do it consistently. If I'm to ever humor beating phantasm no deaths, I need to learn how to do this.
-
My bad. I misread it as "The final part with the preboss waves." As in the entirety of them.

If you want, I uploaded a replay of Phantasm (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4158), dodging all the bullets at the end.
(ignore the rest of the replay, I did horrendously and lost at Mesh of Light and Dark. >_>;; )
-
I had typed how to clear that, but my internet decided to fuck up. And for some reason I can't access the replays archive's server. I'll just list what seems like the hardest parts.
The "X" wave : Place yourself in the center, about a quarter up the screen. Stream down to the bottom, go right or left, then go up when you reach the corner.
The group of lines : Just circle the screen, going up first. It's probably easier starting from the bottom left, but I always started from the bottom right so I'm not sure. If some bullets from the wave before get in your way, that's because you were too close to the center of the screen when they shot at you, so you have to wait a little longer before moving.
-
Woke up about 4am, thinking it was a great time to try time out "VoWG" (I had awesome runs last night).
Hilarity ensues as I die on the first waves (e.g.'s 3 seconds after amulets start spawning) 70% of the time. Even a newbie could beat me in playing skill at that point.

I once died to the first wave because it spawned somehow on top of me.
You're not that bad. Still, I am the living proof that Touhou at 4:00 AM is bad.
-
my recent one: getting hit by Needle of a Fromer hell, on EASY :V (this seriously was her easiest spellcard, at least in my opinion.)
-
Often I will try grazing bullets in tSoEW and MoF subconciously.
-
I just failed a Normal 1cc of Imperishable Night (Youmu Solo).
I think I used one last spell the whole game. Quite heartbreaking. :-[
-
I just had 5 retries of SA normal where I couldn't even reach the first stage boss without dying.
I just want to forget.
-

Actually, that's fairly normal for learning Stage 1.
Now, dying five times before reaching Kisume is when you start hitting the bar.

You just resurrected some traumas of mine. Back when the game was all new and i had to go through normal mode (which didn't happen before several months post release) i had to restart the game again... and again... and again because i died to ridiculous things in Stages 1, 2 and 3. It was horrible.
Don't worry too much about it though. When you are done with your run, stuff like that tends to happen much less. It is like that for me anyway. And even if you should go and die at Stage 1, once you have the game down you won't have to worry about lives because the game showers you with them.
-
If you die at Stage 1 it's worth restarting instead of leaving you a life behind later on.
-
I moved back into a slow moving shot trying to avoid a faster one that's coming strait at me on PoFV yesterday.
Oh and trying to use the Safe Zone from Cirno's Icicle Fall - Easy the first time I played Normal in ESoD. That was back when I first started.
-
Maybe I shouldn't play Touhou when I'm dead tired.
Starting up EoSD normal in an attempt to easily unlock Marisa-A for extra, I fly up and headbutt right into the first fairy that comes into the screen due to me forgetting to actually press fire but still wanting to collect her point item.
I'm not even bothering to give it another try now.
-
Losing all 30 matches in SWR on the Very Easy thread. I think Japan's standards are too high.
That's not really embarrassing I guess, just point-blank epic fail.
Makes me really consider whether I need 12.3 or not.
-
Playing PCB on Normal, I lose two lives on the first stage.
Well shit. I resisted the urge to rage quit.
I manage to score up more lives before stage 4, and prepared myself to lose them all to 4.
Suprisingly enough, I don't die at all to the prismrivers and their obnoxious stage, so I felt pretty good about myself. I continue onto stage 5.
I go into stage 5 with 4 extra lives.
I lose 3 to midboss youmu.
I lose 1 to actual youmu.
fuck. I'm usually able to beat youmu losing at most 1 life.
I go into stage 6 with no extra lives, lose to a nameless fairy.
D:
-
Very first thing I did was waste a bomb when there was absoultely nothing on the screen in EoSD this morning...

You pressed the X key while trying to shoot? I do that sometimes, including once when I was trying to shoot Flandre at the beginning of QED. Now I never stop shooting during "And Then Will There Be None?".
-
Today in CS class, there was a passage that read 結果, which is kekka, which means result.
I read it out loud as 結界, which is kekkai, which means barrier or border. You know.
-
Going through a full-game PCB run, it's business as usual for the first four stages. Then in Stage 5, I get to the two fairies before midboss Youmu, and fail to kill either one of them. Greedy for point items, I drift down and try to kill them as they fly offscreen, and ram into a bullet as I attempt to do so. Okay, no big deal. Minor mistake, just don't do something like that again. Fast-forward to the boss fight, I capture Hell God Sword (in a real run? What?) Not thinking clearly, I then PoC, and die to her trivial (that is, trivial if you don't PoC) second non-card. I then die to it again because Marisa's a fatty and I clip Youmu's aimed knives. Follow that with a death to Human Realm Sword soon after, and you have a ragequit on your hands.
It amazes me how I can suddenly play so embarrassingly bad at times.
-
It's actually easy to PoC after Hell God Sword. Just go up to Youmu's side to misdirect the giant bullet wedge and drop back underneath. All you have to worry about are a few stray bullets.
Anyways, I have an embarassing moment that isn't technically Touhou related but still quite relevant; I played Dodonpachi for the first time ever today. Hopefully no more explanation is needed. :V
-
Was it with an emulator? Somehow I doubt the game was released for the computer. I actually dreamt last night I was playing that game, and reached the third stage on the second loop on ultra mode my first time. :V Is it really that hard?
-
I just shotgunned Cirno during "Hailstorm".
/me sighs
-
I just lost a sightread normal 1cc of UFO because I chose to not bomb the final boss' last spell.
Gotta love hitboxes. Sanae's a bit fat.
Edit: Oh, just remembered, this means I have to do it all over again to unlock Extra. Damnit.
-
Heh, similar story. I failed my normal 1cc as well. Part of it was clumsiness (Sanae's focus speed is a bit augh), part of it was OMG LAZORZ IN THE FACE and me dying with bombs in stock. Hiziri's a fun final boss though. I especially enjoyed her callback to Shinki's epic attack phase.
Next, I'm going to see if lunatic is any more bearable.
-
It is now official: Shinki is dead. *cackles evilly*
I played Ijji Modo for oohs and ahs (science fiction? In my Touhou? I very much approve!) and was amused at all the PC-98 references. Does this mean we have to give a fan-name to the LLS Extra sub-boss now?
And... yes, I failed my Normal 1cc too, at Hiziri's last nonspell. ReimuA's forward-only shots reeeeeally hurt in the stage portions. Hiziri's third spell card and the Stage 5 boss's rotating laser spell didn't help at all; I envision myself hating both of those for a little while.
Oh, and an embarrassing moment. In my Easy run, I intentionally PoC-flew right into the glowing light thingy as it fled the screen in Stage 6. I didn't think it had a hitbox. Well guess what--
-
Playing UFO Normal...
*clipdeath* *clipdeath* *clipdeath* *clipdeath* *clipdeath*
-
I was trying to continue spam my way through UFO Stage 5 Lunatic, and, in a moment of stupidity, died, paused, and hit retry.
I'm going to go play something else for a bit.
-
Every single one of my playthroughs includes something that could qualify for this topic. Though to single out anything, I seem to love reaching stage 5 of PCB on normal with 7-8 lives, and systematically losing each one until I'm left with a single life with no bombs in the beginning of stage 6. Especially when considering that this hasn't happened just once.
-
In UFO (on easy), I think my first death occured in stage 4, right after the flashing blue thing midboss. I somehow managed to get walled by fairies in the corner, tried to shoot them down but failed and they collided into me.
I probably could have found a way to the side somewhere, but my first reflex against fairies is always to try to shoot them down. I don't know how big their hitbox is anyway.
-
Had to restart UFO normal since I was completely blinded by Marisa's familiars. They are way too bright and ZUN decided to stick them right in front of her.
Couldn't finish Stage 4 because of that.
-
I accidentally double clicked the UFO shortcut when I meant to open TH12.3.
Haha, what a silly mistake, who would ever want to open UFO :D
-
I am completely discouraged with UFO normal....I want to unlock this extraaaaaaa TT__TT
(.dat file ?)
-
Completely screwed up on stage 4 on UFO Normal. I got walled all the time by those fairies, and forgot I had bombs apparently.
Then I practiced the stage without using bombs and died only 2 or 3 times (fighting the boss at 1 power most of the time).
Didn't feel like trying again and simply cleared easy with ReimuB. I don't think I'll be able to 1cc Normal today, because it's way too hot. It's like 31C in my room right now.
-
Getting Melee to death by yuyuko

After 1ccing UFO Normal so soon and being tired of practicing Extra, I decided to give EoSD Extra a try again for old times sake.
I lost all my lives to Cranberry Trap.

At least you didn't have to restart 5 times cause you kept dying before midboss patchy. And twice on the first few waves.

It's not that embarassing. Nothing in the stage is really trivial, and if you try to reach Patchouli while bombing as least as possible it's very easy to die pretty much anywhere. I probably restarted a good 10 times in a row before reaching midboss Patchouli once.
-
I decreased my score by capturing a Spell Card (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wi8Dd20tOPM). But then I was fortunate enough to pick up Point Items to fix that.
-
I always wondered about that. I thought ZUN used a formula for how fast the spell card bonus decreased. 'Guess not.
-
So today, I was going to 1cc EoSD on Easy just for the kicks. Then I lost my first three lives to Cirno. I got pissed. Next stage, I crash myself into the last bullet on the screen. I got madder and decided to just play it out. I got to Meirin, I lost a life there. Next stage, lost two lives there. Stage 5. I lose one life on the stage because I accidentally pressed the right arrow key. Okay, so I'm at 1 continue. I can beat Sakuya right?
No. I lose all my lives to Sakuya.
Then I realized that I didn't use one bomb the entire time. :(

God fucking dammit Byakuren. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuIOQIubIvY&fmt=18) (UFO Stage 6 spoilers)

it doesn't help that MoF would be GREAT for graze if it had it.

me too.

MoF probably has no graze because of this, ZUN got lazy and made 80% of the attacks aimed at the player and hoped no one would notice.
Anyways, I managed to get nothing useful from the UFOs in stage 6. You know, the part where it literally has about 6 UFOs on screen and the fairies are vomiting point items at you for a whole minute? Yeah.
-
After having played EoSD Extra pretty regularly for about nine months, today I realised that Moon Sign 'Silent Selene' kind of looks like a moon. :V
-
UFO, stage 6 midboss, i yawned, and lost my last life T_T
-
I just bombed when I was about to get charged by a blue UFO when I already had 2 red.
:V
-
I got killed by Kogasa's midboss nonspell TWICE in one go because I was trying to retrieve a UFO >.<
And then more distant past... My skill level since I first started playing Touhou has dropped extremely low in EoSD. No, really, I frequently die to RUMIA (She's the easiest stage 1 boss and I rarely die to any others) and often end up continuing at Cirno... The first time I played EoSD, (which was my first Touhou game ever) I went through stage 1 without dying, died only once on stage 5, I think to Cirno, used my first continue on Meiling, and managed to make it all the way past Remilia's first spell card before running out of continues. I probably wouldn't be able to do that now... Bleh.
-
During my Hard 1cc attempt of UFO just now, I survived all four waves of the midboss attack, and THEN I bombed just before it shot the life out. I saw the bomb item, swore, and flew into a bullet as I went to collect it. <_<
-
MoF stage 4 lunatic.
I've lost all my confidence as a gamer :V
-
I was SO close to a perfect Sanae fight, but I lost...on Yasaka's Divine Wind.
-
I was SO close to a perfect Sanae fight, but I lost...on Yasaka's Divine Wind.
Oooh, burn...
-
I keep dying at the beginning of stage one UFO trying to get the UFOs...
-
I couldn't figure out Shoot the bullet for a while due to the different config -_-
-
I only just figured out that the MagicUFO S6 SC2 series of SCs were aimed. I knew the lasers were, but who would've thought the butterflies were as well?
-
Not me; I thought the butterflies were static.
They're about as easy anyway.
-
Well, knowing that they're aimed makes the thing almost trivial, then.
-
On my quest to 1cc EoSD hard, I crashed into a bullet on Cirno's Perfect Freeze spell card. It was white.
-
Died on Remilia's completely straight knives :V
-
I died after killing Kanako on Hard for the first time, on my last life.
-
I died to Murasa's first non-spell thrice for no apparent reason on Normal, while capping the two others.
-
During an extra stage run, I got sidetracked admiring the fact that I had only one failure to Nue's snake lasers (even though I thought it would be one of the hardest for me). While not paying attention I get hit by one of the lasers... sigh.

Funnily enough, it was when I was like "lol, this card shouldn't even be in Extra"

-
'Standard' deaths on "Absolute Justice" / "Aura of Justice"UFO S5 SC3 include ramming into a fading laser, procrastinating while standing on laser spawn point and walling (obviously from bad reading).
So what do I do? I slowly back down into a wall.
-
Died on Remilia's completely straight knives :V
Haha, that IS embarassing :P
-
I went to record one of my replays, but clicked Extra stage instead.....
5 minutes later, I come back wondering why is there a completion screen with 3% completed :V
-
Wow. What a result. PCB Extra - 7 spells captured - 6 misses. How pathetic.
-
Last night, while playing LLS Lunatic, stage 5:
"wait, why'd Yuka stop moving and stop spewing danmaku everywhFUCK"
later, in stage 6, after fitting in-between the dual Yuka lasers a couple moments, I got owned by THE SHIFT.
This plus a couple derp deaths is how I managed to go into stage 5 with 4 lives/1 bomb after quite likely my best Reimu battle ever and still not 1cc it (most hatefully, I Gaem Over'd on stage 6 Yuka's final phase when it had nothing more than A Sliver of healthbar remaining. Argh. Die, etc.)
-
I died to Yukari during the period between Shikigami "Ran Yakumo" and "Boundary of Humans and Youkai."
Yes, that's a part where Yukari is standing completely still and not shooting anything.
-
I just had a death on PCB Stage 1 about seven attempts in a row.
-
In SA stage 4, there were maybe six green bullets on-screen. I managed to kill myself on one of them returning to the center of the screen. :V

MoF is an evil game.

NNNNNNGH.
I died on PCB Cirno.

I have no excuses.

Is Perfect Freeze cursed or something?
Clipped the last bullet just as it stopped.....AGAIN.

WHAT THE CHRIST
I JUST DIED ON LINGERING COLD
-
WHAT THE CHRIST
I JUST DIED ON LINGERING COLD
When I needed those 60 spellcards for Phantasm I kept dying on Lingering Cold. 10 times in a row. On Hard. While I had captured it first try on Lunatic.
-
I just had a death on PCB Stage 1 about seven attempts in a row.
Welcome to my life buddy.
Except it's UFO and twenty upwards.
-
Attached: My amazing run of UFO normal. I got all the way to stage 2!
The real silliness starts at midboss Kogasa.
-
Died to Chen on Hard 3 times in a row =(
-
I'm so bad at the extra stages it's funny.
4 misses on Phantasm, 2 on stage.
Now tried Nue with ReimuA......lost like 3 lives on stage, then got all the way to her survival with 2 lives.
-
So I was playing EoSD extra again, and I died on...ONE OF FLANDRE'S NONSPELLS WHAT THE FUCK.
Then I died at Catadioptric because I got nervous. :<
The run probably would've went better if:
A. I didn't bomb on Silent Selene
B. I didn't die at the section right after patchy (the really easy streaming -_-)
C. I didn't die on Kagome Kagome
D. I didn't bomb twice on Maze of Love
E. If I could actually do Catadioptric.
-
Rumia actually killed me. On hard.
-
After 20 consecutive runs through, I still have yet to finish Lotus Land Story's extra stage, or really, even defeat Mugetu. The saddest thing about it is that I'm actually showing marked improvement after my last session with LLS's extra stage, where I couldn't even get to Mugetu. >_>

...You know that first time Nitori appears, when she then leaves without firing any shots whatsoever? ...I just died to that. I think it might be a good idea for me to stop playing MoF for a while...
-
I've died there as well :P
-
...You know that first time Nitori appears, when she then leaves without firing any shots whatsoever? ...I just died to that. I think it might be a good idea for me to stop playing MoF for a while...
after doing that about 5,000 times i've learned that you always go to the PoC on the left side of the screen
always
-
but Nitori comes from the left.
That's why I died.. you have to go to the POC on the right :P
-
One time I ran into OrbNue to PoC as she was leaving the screen. I didn't even know she had a hitbox!
-
That also happened to me the first time i was going to 1cc UFO easy =(
-
With my donated version of 12.3, I 1LC'd Sanae's easy mode (I contrast my shmup skills with my terrible fighting game skills), then accidentally entered Cirno's lunatic mode. Long story short, in between trying to learn Cirno's moves on the fly, I ALMOST beat Sanae before running out of lives. Almost. ;>_>
-
I used to be able to get to Aya before dying in MoF. Now I can't get past Nitori's cucumber spellcard
-
- Collided into a UFO
- Got hit by one Unzan Fist during Mid-Boss Spell Card (clipdeath, but I saw it coming and didn't bomb)
- Accidentally tapped up and collided into Ichirin while shotgunning

Poor Yuugi... Having to witness my fail. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4598) Though at least she can be comforted by the fact that she won <.<;
-
I just died in MS stage 1 on normal.
That has to be a personal all-time low.
-
Umm...
Trowing my hands in the air and yelling because I finally beat Utsuho only to fly into a bullet (the game slows down during Utsuho's explosion but the bullets are still there) and lose the game...
Also, getting hit by a rampaging cat named Orin in stage 5 (or was it 4?).
-
I think I'm having more trouble with hard Byakuren than lunatic Byakuren. =_= I'm so used to her lunatic attacks I'm completely caught off guard by her hard speed.
Also, I realized something: It's not really that Byakuren is so much harder than we should be used to; it's that Byakuren's the first proper final boss since IN. Kanako and Utsuho had tons of trivial attacks, even trivial spell cards. Byakuren's closer to the other final bosses like Remilia and Kaguya. That said, god damn it she's difficult. D: I still say that if it weren't for all my experience with her, Remilia would still be tougher, but at least Remi had two trivial non-cards. Byakuren has one and a pretty easy third non-spell.

I work all day and have a wife at home =P
I play about 3/4 times a day and only 28 times i reached VoWG.

Well, that's two runs a day on average, while I'm about two runs a week on average, so he's at least taking it more seriously than I did (and that's why it took me 7 months to get a Hard 1cc).
I'm also only 102/545 in 1ccs total.
-
I've been playing for roughly 2 months...
I just thought I'd try one more time before going to sleep but i died about 15 times in a row in the first stage, specially in the first boss spell card.
ah well time to go sleep
-
So yea... cause UFO hates me, I got past Ichirin with 7 lives! Yes 7. I max out my lives in stage 4 and yet i still couldn't 1cc this game on hard with Reimu-A. This was probably because of fuckups, clip-deaths, stupidity and the fact that stage 5 curses any non-Sanae players!
I refuse to play as Sanae!
-
UFO Extra. Got to Nue with 3 lives in stock, captured every spellcard up to the survival card.
Died.
Died.
Died.
Last card?
Died.
I hate Nightmare. HATE IT.
-
I just managed to die on Suwako's first, third and fourth non-cards in the same run. The fourth non-card is the really, really easy streaming one. <_<
-
Playing. I simply fail. HARD. I don't even know why I continue playing.
-
A bit late for this, but it's certainly worth mentioning.
Get the 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4642), and play S4. Speed it all the way through to Murasa's last non-spell, and watch from there.
Doing some sort of shotgun, then I get hit by an anchor :V
-
I just managed to fail a 1cc of Mountain of Faith with Marisa A. ON NORMAL.
-
It's official - UFO should come with a sign attached "You must be no worse than this (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4669) to 1cc this game."
The Ichirin fight in particular is worth the download.
Despite any testimony to the contrary I still insist that SanaeB is a mediocre-to-bad shot type with lacking power and unwieldy range.
Although I don't think I can blame that for all of this run.
-
I loaded up UFO for the first time. I picked MarisaA just because. I loaded up Stage 1 on Normal. I didn't make it to the boss. I tried 5 more times. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. :(
-
Because I'm a complete idiot, I tried no-bombing MS lunatic (which I suck at horribly, holy crap. How the hell did I ever manage to beat this thing in a day). I think I died at the stage 4 midboss or something (it's not as impressive as it sounds. MS has the easiest first three stages in the series).
I might actually try this out seriously in the far, far future. I'd definitely be using Mima though.
-
Well, just another run of UFO Extra.
I got to Heiankyou 0/1, captured the first wave, captured the second wave, and died at the inch of 01 seconds.
-
Just for kicks, I went UFO Hard with MarisaB. No restarts, no pre-strats for UFO chaining. Then I decided to be AWESOME and put myself on the last life before Syou (I died 6-8 times during S4 alone). 0/1 when I started, ended by clipping some bullet during the spinning lasers because of Marisa's unfocus speed difference :V
I did capture the 2 preceeding spell cards though. And Nazrin's midboss. They all look so much easier...
Score was about 220 million by the way.
-
...
I cannot believe how dense I am.
I just did the single best run of Yuyuko I have ever done. I just beat Yuyuko no deaths one bomb (on Sumizome of all things). I did not save the replay because while the Yuyuko fight was impressive, I made a derp mistake on the fairy spam and died (didn't restart because the game was running much smoother than before with its terrible vsynch rips). It did not occur to me until after I decided not to save that I just threw away a run where I all but perfected lunatic Yuyuko.
Ahem...
FUCK
-
I just died to midboss Kurumi. Then I died five times trying to get out of stage 1. Then Elly takes two lives out of nowhere. Then I get chain deathed by the midboss. WTF is wrong with me tonight?
-
...*facepalm* (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4672)
-
MoF hard, got to Kanako with 4 lives in stock and still failed. VoWG was the least of my worries, though - when I got there I was already at 0/5 and pretty much doomed with ReimuA's damage and the metaphorical paper bag over my head.
-
I just died TWICE to the stage 2 boss in MS <.<;
-
Trying out EoSD Lunatic for fun. Here's the general idea of what happened:
Stage 1:
Die half way through stage 1, restart.
Die on midboss Rumia, restart.
Die before midboss Rumia, restart. x4.
Perfect Rumia and her stage.
Stage 2:
Die to the first wave of Cirno's opener & bomb it twice.
Cirno's first card: Stare at a bullet for a few seconds before getting hit by said bullet. + a bomb shortly after.
Capture Perfect freeze.
Bomb her last card.
Stage 3:
Bomb before midboss Meiling.
Die on Flower sign.
Attempt to dodge bullets by running straight into their path. x3
Attempt failed, Gameover.
Needless to say, I don't think I should play EoSD Lunatic.
-
...I just game overed on the stage 2 boss of SoEW <.<;
-
MoF. You know the part in Stage 3 where Nitori comes down, says "OMG a human", and then runs away? I ran up the middle to the PoC right as she came down. She killed me and ran off :(

Clearly, that is what ZUN had in mind while he designed the stage.
Now I must remind myself of the time that I first played Shoot the Bullet. I went on Easy mode without knowing anything about the game's mechanics and lost to Wriggle about ten times before I could figure out what I was supposed to do.

-
During my most recent run of LLS I died because the game wouldn't pause. And I was only trying to pause in the first place because I wanted to move my headphone cord to be more comfortable.
Also during that run I died three times within the shortest possible time. FFFFFFF
-
I just rammed straight into a fairy in PCB... Only 10 seconds into the first level...
Its things like this that make me question why I play normal...
-
Had a good SA Normal run going, reached Utsuho with about 4 lives in stock.
I clipdeathed all of them before her second spellcard.

I game overed on a PCB stage 6 Easy practice earlier. I need to learn how to deal with at least something Yuyuko does. (... well, I think I did cap Repository of Hirakawa that run. And nearly Sumizome Perfect Blossom until it finished me off.)
-
Ok people, clear the thread, for the most embarrassing moment is upon you now.
I had just beat LLS Extra through means only divinity can understand. (That means, I must've lucked out severely)
I turn around, and think, hey, let's reattempt 1cc'ing EoSD.

Lost three lifes to Rumia.

accidently running up into cirno in icicle fall is acceptable, and an honest mistake (like me who showed off to prove a point by going in crazy circles inside the safe 'spot' and ran into her)

Marisa is cursed. I can 1cc PCB on hard easily with Sakuya B and Reimu B, but even touching Marisa ensures failure. It took 4 of 5 continues to finally take Yuyuko down.
...How does a minor difference in hitbox size and a forward firing laser make THAT much of a difference?
-
*bangs head through wall* *house falls down again* How many times have I destroyed my house because of Touhou now? <.<; Anyway, the reason... I just got finished off by Alice's boss opener. I don't care if it's PCB Hard mode, this is just too much fail...
EDIT: New run, new fail. The sad part is, none of these "How NOT to beat (insert character here)" runs are deliberate >.<

What the-
After weeks of not playing UFO, I Game Over'd at Ichirin on Easy in the English Patch.
And to think that I've 1cc'd it before... :V I 1CC'D PoDD HARD DAMMIT
-
Hmm...I think that's the first time I've ever died to Ichirin's third non-spell.
-
Trying to 1cc UFO hard.
"-Oh look I'm past Kogasa without breaking a sweat."
*slams headfirst into the outmost bullet the big faerie throws at you while trying to go all the way around the left and up to autocollect quickly instead of being, y'know, SMART*
"-CRAP, well, I can get over this"
*red blinking UFO changes to blue, CATCH!*
*RAGEQUIT*
I'm missing the time I'd game over on Syou due to messing up UFO chaining in stage 5.
-
died 3 times to Radiant Treasure in UFO 1cc. Rage quit.
-
It just occurred to me that I've spent so much time grinding stages 2, 3, 5, and 6 of UFO (stage 4 I actually have down pretty well), that I REALLY suck at Nazrin. Three attempts at her just now: The first had me clip on her opener, second had me die on both her spell cards, and her third I still died on her first (cheap bitch won't let me get under her!), while FINALLY capturing her second. orz
-
Clipped Nue's first card. Not the lasers, but one of the pellets which are tinier than Nazrin.
-
So there is the english patch. I want to see the endings, thus I play the game on normal. Not entirely concentrated, I lose a few lives here and there with almost no bombing, but in the end I stand before Byakuren with 5 lives and 5 bombs. As I've betan her with less resources on lunatic, this shouldn't be a problem...
Death on her opener. :o
Death on her first spellcard. :-\
Death on her second spellcard. >:(
Two deaths on Star Maelstrom. :'(
Game over on Star Maelstrom.
I can't believe that just happened. It's probably because of the date. I've already started to dumb down... dangit.
-
Memo to self: Playing Byakuren's stage to wake yourself up on the first day of school does not go well.
-
Enter Stage 5 UFO Normal with 9 lives.
Clear game with 2.
Dammit dammit dammit dammit WHY AM I SO BAD!?

Tap left, wait for the next wave, tap left, wait for the next wave, tap left, wait for the first wave to pass, and tap as the second starts.
Really, just keep tapping in one direction real slow-like. Once you capture it it's impossible to mess up.
-
UFO Stage 6 Lunatic without bombing. I was doing fine, until my first death by "Magic Milky Way"UFO S6 SC3.
Then comes the easiest attack in the stage; the last non-spell.
One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Five deaths. I then proceeded to survive everything else but the final SC.

You do know that Wizard fox thoughts is just streaming. Every time you see leave explosion tap right or left.
Today I died to Hong meiling's mid-boss opener when she ran out of life. The result was all the grey thingys were collected and I died.

Then comes the easiest attack in the stage; the last non-spell.
...what?
It's static with aimed elements.
-
Yeah, but the first nonspell is static wihtout aimed elements, and has a generally easier to dodge pattern. The final nonspell is annoying mainly for having you circle around the screen, making the form take way to long to finish, making it easier to screw up, especially if you want to end it more quickly and get too careless. Most of the time it eats a bomb for me. :V

Correction for Hard / Lunatic. Additionally, I've been known to accidentally clip the opener occasionally. I've also accidentally walled myself on the opener as well. So I'd say that the last non-spell is easier than the opener.
For the record, I can do the last non-spell unfocused very consistently.
-
You do know that Wizard fox thoughts is just streaming. Every time you see leave explosion tap right or left.
I know, and later on 1 tap per 2 waves. I've captured it, but I don't feel exactly safe in a huge clusterfuck of bullets. I remember overtapping a few times and hitting something.
-
Well shit. I've gone from regularly beating Byakuren with only three or four deaths to clearing with 2 lives in stock after only one day of not playing.
-
Well god damn. UFO normal. I captured every single red UFO and killed them all save for one, and I lost on Ichirin? Really?
I knew this run was going to fail when I died on Nazrin Pendulum. I can even capture the Hard version of the thing 100%
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4817

I perfect Ichirin on lunatic, then move up into a laser as Scolding Scorch is dying.
There are some times when your screwup is such that all you can do is laugh at yourself.
-
There are times when I clip Byakuren's opener.
Never have I actually just sat there and took a bubble bullet to the face until this very moment.
-
Get to Patchouli with like, six lives as Marisa A. Proceed to die TWICE on Agni Shine High Level, and it doesn't get much better from there... I'm honestly surprised I got through stage 5, much less that I actually managed to reach Remilia's last nonspell O_o Especially since I got reduced to my last life on Star of David...
-
IN hard, Marisa solo, Salamander Shield. Which means loldestroyfamiliars, easiest thing evar.
Deathbomb, die with one bomb in stock, I-don't-know-what-I'm-doing-anymore bomb.
-
Score run easy three times. Check records.
One spellcard not captured: Kogasa's train.
RAGE
No, but srsly, the Kogasa Train is harder on Easy for me than on Normal/Hard, because the bullet 'spray' is far, far wider on easy. So you're getting assaulted from both above and below and there is no relative 'safer zone'. D:
-
I was thinking to myself, 'hey, I should really get better at scoring', so I open up EoSD Normal with Marisa A and try a run through with emphasis on grazing, autocollection, etc.
And I managed to get game over'd before I even beat Sakuya. Highlights include trying to micrododge the first wave of a Cirno shotgun and dying, trying to autocollect midboss Sakuya's life during the spam and dying, and using, err, one bomb during the entire run.
...Having said that, I still managed to beat my previous 1cc high score before I even cleared Stage 4. <_<
-
Most pathetic death ever: Dying by colliding into a familiar on Astronomical Entombing when there are only three left <.<;

I finished a normal run of EoSD with zero lives left. First death was to Koakuma of all things, then just random deaths from there on out.
I feel like someone just stood on my balls.
Planning to try again later to see if I can redeem myself.
Edit: 1cc'd Hard for the second time. Meister chewed me up but the rest was fine.

You know, the "tap a bit right or left and you're safe and get massive graze" bit.

Protip: Don't supergraze it? I found a new way to do it :3
Now if I could just record it without the lag...

Even if you're not going for supergraze, it's still really really easy (possibly Gengetu's easiest attack). I still died. I was playing like CRAP tonight.
I'm'a go back to playing Tales of Symphonia for a while. I played a bunch today instead of going to class (but I'm massively sick, so blarg). MASSIVE REMIEL SHENANIGANS (that I was calling from the very beginning) are good times, and provide substantially less RAEG.

After having first seen Baity's pic of him sitting between the brofists in Scolding Scorch, I've never had fear of those fists.
"Okay, so if I sit right in the middle, I can graze both of the fis-*dead*"
"Okay, you were too far from the center. Learn from your mistakes, and don't do that agai-*dead*"

I find it easier on Normal too. I often get walled on Easy. I think Easy has more random bullets going to the sides than Normal, so the range of the "train" is larger. On Normal, you can simply stay close to one of the trains and most bullets will simply go vertically, leaving only a few to dodge.

Okay, so I just decided to try playing EoSD Hard again. This is how it went:
Death to Rumia's first boss nonspell.
Restart.
Death to stage 1 fairy bullet with lots of space around it.
Restart.
Death by running straight into one of the fairies at the beginning of the stage.
House gets knocked down as I bang my head against the wall too hard... Again.
-
1 death on Danmaku Paranoia, 2 on Youkai Polygraph since I've stopped focusing and went straight into a laser and 3 on Genetics even though I've captured it already today.

House gets knocked down as I bang my head against the wall too hard... Again.
Ooh I always do that, in EoSD I have to die 2-3 times before I can start my run. And 1-2 times in PCB.
Usually because I am too eager to collect power ups :(

25. Monster Train "Spare Umbrella Express Night Carnival" (Hard) - 1/3
24. Monster Sign "A Forgotten Umbrella's Night Train" (Normal) - 15/24
23. Monster Sign "A Forgotten Umbrella's Night Train" (Easy?) - 0/6
...What the fuck. I am COMPLETELY INCAPABLE of capturing the train on Easy.
That spell is an autobomb for me, regardless of how well I might actually be doing. Someday I might actually try to cap it, but...
And it seems that my capability vs. Byakuren is inversely proportional to the amount of lives I have in stock once I engage her. I seem to always end up 0.66/0 no matter what, and it's always due to being an idiot and running into colliding bullets. Well, that, and the damn lasers on her Shinki replication.
-
I've been playing touhou for just over 3 months or something now and I only realised just a week ago while playing UFO that you can still shoot while using a bomb

This is... Interesting XD

After 3 months, I've realized how many EoSD attacks are streamed.
Patchouli's second NDL. Stage 5 fairies. Never realized they were aimed.
Same for the end stage 6 fairies.
-
I'm continuespamming my way through UFO Lunatic and I was at Stage 5. I was getting the hang of things, being able to beat the stage more easily, and getting the hang os Shou's lasers gradually too. Another attempt led to a quick death on the first few fairies, so I open the menu and press 'retry'. And get sent back to Stage 1.
THIS IS THE THIRD FREAKING TIME I HAVE DONE THAT WHY DO I KEEP DOING IT JESUS CHRIST ARGH

Failed EoSD NORMAL MODE with MarisaA....with FIVE DEFAULT LIVES.
Sleepy+not used to the shottype+5 deaths on Remilia(I swear, she is much easier on Hard)=that.

I even got hit by "Three Sacred Treasures - Country" for the first time ever. Well, time to see what I can do~

I can't tell whether to put this in Embarrassments, Rage, or Accomplishments.

...meaning I took my hand off the arrow keys. And then come the aimed bullets at the end of the stage, and I react just late enough to...

...oh what the hellllllllllllllll
-
I got hit on the second attack phase of Devil's Recitation. You know, the one where she's shooting a single bubble bullet at you? Yeah, I got hit. Also my death bombs suddenly started failing when they rarely don't. and I've forgotten the correct route for LFO, causing me to die multiple times on it.
I'mma lie down now. D:

Having to restart 3 times after running into the same fairy on SA's first stage. A while after that, I made it to Okuu for the first time and game over'd at her second-to-last spellcard.
The reason why that last part is in here? I only made it to Okuu because I bomb spammed Orin and her stage. I would have felt horrible if I had beaten SA Normal for the first time knowing that I used 9 bombs on stage 5 alone.
-
This... is what happens when I don't use the scoring bomb. I die several times unexpectedly.
Where dost thou use this "scoring bomb" of which thou speakest?
-
Right at the start of the stage.
After shooting down the first wave of enemies CUTE GHOSTS, collect the Power, move up and right to the top right and bomb. Instant 2 million.
There are other places that are worth bombing, but that spot is the single best one.
-
I hate Koishi's Return of the Id and Super Ego cards. They look like they are going 3D on me.

MoF lunatic. MarisaC. Going for my first lunatic 1cc.
Arrived at Kanako with four lives to spare.
Death on Madly Dance on Medoteko.
Bombed everything else bar the last nonspell to be on the safe side (even Yamato Torus), one more death against Source of Rains because I ran out of bomb juice and couldn't quite finish it off after bombing once.
Entered VoWG with two lives to spare, well, practice showed me I can reliably bruteforce my way through it with even less resources, right?
RIGHT?

Finally went back and 1cced the last shot type on SA Easy (MarisaC). I haven't played SA Easy in several months... and Normal only once since those months ago, to beat it on ReimuA.
Well, it went perfectly (despite using the smallest windowed mode) except for one thing. I was talking to 2 people online, so I was pausing the game a lot. I paused it right after I beat midboss Orin in Stage 5...
Well, I forgot that she likes to stick around after you beat her. So I unpause the game, and *BODYSLAM* FFFFFFF-
I saved the replay so I can record it later. :V
-
Fourth IN lunatic attempt in a row to game over at Hourai Jewel - this time, one more second would have been enough but I gambled on the corner. Thing is, if I hadn't died to freakin' Invisible Full Moon earlier and if I didn't ram a round bullet within three seconds of them appearing considering I arrived at Hourai Jewel with one spare life this time, I would have had plenty of resources to pull it off without breaking a sweat.
That makes it four times in a row where I failed at the last hurdle due to rampant stupidity of all kinds and in all places, so this now clearly belongs in "embarassing moments" instead of RAGE.
late edit: two more attempts, two ragequits at Comet on Earth. D:

The replay says it all.
The sad part is, that wasn't the first time I've tried this card. :V

I was gonna do my last EoSD extra try for the evening. So I come to flandre's first non-card and I avoid the first 2 waves thinking:

*gets hit*

Why didn't I move? ??? ??? ???

I think everyone has moments like this O_O; One of mine was pretty recently, as I was facing Four of a Kind, saw a bullet coming at me, and tried to bomb... Three problems here: 1) I had just enough time to move if i hadn't done that. 2) This is an Extra boss spellcard, so I wouldn't do any damage with the bomb. 3) I WAS OUT OF BOMBS!!!!
-
I do total spaz moves during VoWG.
I should probably tape myself to entertain the world.
-
I had a pretty great 1cc run, at least up past stage 4.
I got like, six stuffed red UFOs, though I clipped Nue with no bombs left. D:
So by Murasa I had seven spare lives, but I barely beat Hiziri with no lives or bombs.
-
Not exactly recent but I just noticed I didn't include the details in the original post: IN stage four, one of those failed 1cc attempts. Had a pretty much perfect run so far (for what I was planning) when I stupidly hit a bullet with three bombs in stock - my instant reaction was to take the right hand off the keyboard and press ESC to ragequit instead of deathbombing. Even though I was still in a better position than in any other run, I seriously considered picking "return to title" in shame. (in the end I pressed on and took the whole of stage 4 to calm down, essentially costing me the run)

Ooh the best moments are when this happens:
'Oh noes this is too tight, I must bomb!'
*releases shift out of automatisation and spams X*

Given that I've 1cc'd Hard with Sakuya-A, I really need to 1cc Normal with Reimu-B.
I'm a homing addict :(
I would probably do better were it not for my traditional losing three lives on Lunasa because I'm an idiot.

So, uh, I was so incompetent at hitting Yuugen Magan I ran out of time and had a HARRY UP attack during a boss. This is somehow more reminiscent of an accomplishment. :V

Game Over-ing at less than 10 seconds until the end of Yuyuko's Reflowering spell while working on my first PCB 1CC of normal mode. Happened a couple times before I finally won, in fact (it got to the point where I bombed the last ~three seconds of the spell just to be sure I couldn't screw it up).
-
Ugh. My fingers need a vsync patch. my reaction time is getting slower D:
Also: went from dying with bombs in stock to making it through a situation then bomb half a second later. So many times...
-
I am so incompetent at hitting Yuugen Magan that I have never beaten Yuugen Magan. :V
Yuugen Magan is potentially the hardest boss in the game because his hitbox is so small and is constantly changing locations. I've beaten him one death the same as I've game overed with max lives. But to HARRY UP, you have to have both not killed him in that amount of time AND not die enough to reset the timer (or does this only happen after you run out of time?), and that was definitely a first.
-
I just failed a 1CC of EoSD hard, with 1/4 of Scarlet Gensokyo left. There were two extraordinarily stupid deaths whose lives would've seen me through. One death was at the end of Stage 5, when I ran into a fucking fairy while trying to grab point items. The second death was during Remilia's first spellcard, where I died with bombs in stock, then I proceeded to misjudge my invicibility period and I stood there while Remilia fragged me with her yellow bubble balls. With all 3 bombs in stock, naturally.
-
I... I can't believe it... I'm doing revival bombs... In IN... I mean, it's not during spellcards, so the deathbomb time is shorter, but... What the heck? T_T
-
Random run of UFO stage 4. I perfect the stage until the WTF thick part in the second half. Just to remind you, I had 9 lives at this point. By the end of Murasa I had 1. I have no idea what happened, and even weirder is that I actually did still capture all of Murasa's spell cards save Dipper Creeping Close - and all at one power!

Skip to the Shikieiki fight, specifically to how I lose my first life against her.
If you don't want to watch it:
Normally when I use Charge Attacks, I tend to gravitate toward the largest clusters, to make sure I take them out. I didn't charge quite quickly enough, and you can guess what happened there.
Off topic, I'm kind of surprised at how many PoFV players are always on the Shift key in later rounds, even on easier difficulties.

Highlights include:
1)(9)-balling against the first enemy, leading to a death.
2)Screensaver beginning during Keine's second nonspell, leading to a panic-induced bomb that probably could have been avoided.
3)Bomb followed by death-bomb just as I was about to finish Asteroid Belt.
4)Missing the continue right before Tewi, in a reenactment of Gamecubic.

Game over at midboss Nazrin on normal while trying a score run. Also, I think I used only one bomb in the entire game and pretty much ran into a dozen fairies while trying to collect blue UFOs. To top it all I lost the last life by 1. not shooting for a second to avoid confusing the bullets with Marisa's options and 2. pressing "Z" to bomb when I fucked up one last time. :V

Actually scratch my original post and replace it with "I can't scorerun for shit", so many assorted failures. I actually went from never bombing and game overing on stage 5 to bombing left and right and game overing on Murasa :V
By the way, a week or so of almost total dedication to IN killed my deathbomb reflexes.

Due to a quark when kicking my computer into and out of hibernation, a few games could only run at half speed max. So I booted up UFO, and did a Practice of Stage 6.
The embarrassing moment comes during Star Maelstrom. I die. At half speed, my finger right on the bomb button. Granted, I usually miss that card, but still!
-

-
no actually PC-98 has a longer deathbomb time than windows. (!)

Ah, so I'm not the only one who finds PC-98 deathbombing to be painful? It doesn't work at all for me either, I end up with revival bombs >.< I don't know why other people don't have any trouble...
-
Turns out that I didn't set up my emulator at all. It runs much better now. :V
Didn't prevent Alice from nuking me, still.
EDIT: First time I've got past her second pattern and made it all the way to the curvy shitlasers. Guess that it was the setup that was the problem :V
-
Huh. I was doing a really really bad run of EoSD. Actually, a really GREAT run considering the first three stages offered no problems until I died to Meiling to a shot I just didn't see. I really should invest in glasses.
Anyway, I lose all my lives on Stage for to various stupidities of myself (and my lack of memory, I was top of the screen right before the books spawn, lost a life there...) and lack of bombing.
So I get to Patchouli with 0 lives left and I heard people saying "Don't be afraid to bomb spam princes undine." so I went ahead and fought her without using a single bomb. I then stopped attacking her and proceeded to time out Princess Undine, only to die to her next non-card attack within 5 seconds.
What's that say about me as a player. -.-; Me getting through games = luck
*Edit*
And to add to that, I just played Imperishable Night and lost all my lives before beating Wriggle on stage one. I know I am not at a good viewing distance (again, bad vision no glasses) but the real killer was I turned off remapper so C wasn't my bomb key, and every time I went to bomb, I got nothing. :D
-
Lol EoSD Normal. I think Marionette has it out for me because I needed to bomb the damn card 3 times ^_^. Oh, I also died on Red Magic right as Remilia was exploding with 3 bombs in stock. I forgot that I had no lives left haha.
-
SoEW. Just used up all my continues and still didn't finish it. On normal.
D:
-
And to add to that, I just played Imperishable Night and lost all my lives before beating Wriggle on stage one.
If it makes you feel any better, for quite some time I'd be pretty much garunteed to lose at least one life due to Wriggle slamming into me because I was hanging out too close to the top of the screen when she came in for her midboss attack.
Granted, IN was my first touhou game, but one would think after the first few times I'd have learned my lesson...
-
SoEW. Just used up all my continues and still didn't finish it. On normal.
D:
That's not embarassing, it's just SoEW cheating the heck out of everything. I've died without there being bullets anywhere near me before <_< Rika's opening attack is annoying as hell if you're in the middle of the screen, because you have to know it's coming and already be moving, then Meira can throw point-blank walls at you. There's no focus, so it's easy to tap and go from being right under one bullet to right under another when there's a huge space between them... Then white bullets of death that are quite easy to end up not even seeing...
And then the Magic Stones ._.; They spam ridiculous lasers that have hitboxes twice the size of their sprites, and in general are just really freaking annoying... And then there's Marisa... Oh god, Marisa... I don't think I have to say anything there, she can easily end up killing you more than the entire rest of the game >.< Spinning stars that move faster than you're guaranteed to be able to bomb, then the orbs... There were incredibly few times that I didn't get smacked when I didn't bomb... Or was out of bombs...
Then Mima is really cheap >_> Her orb attacks are absurd too (besides the basic one) then that star attack of hers... And that one overlapping bullet pattern... Still not as bad as Marisa IMO though.
So yeah, SoEW is overall a nightmare... And it cheats. A lot.
-
So yeah, SoEW is overall a nightmare... And it cheats. A lot.
It does have some very cheap 'You must bomb this or die' moments, but I think you're blowing it a bit out of proportion. It's not actually that bad, plus it's a stage shorter than other Touhou games.
Rika: Don't get hit by the opener I guess is all I can say, really quite pathetic (until she's an Extra boss that is...)
Meira: Bouncy balls are annoying, and you'll have to stick to the bottom corners for some of her attacks. For the most part it's the speed of the shots that makes it difficult to dodge, making her a tricky stage 2 boss, but it's not that horrible after a bit of practice. Bombing once on her won't kill a run.
Magic Stones: I find this boss really easy, although it has one attack that I bomb every single time (wave after wave of green shots that eventually are aimed at your position). Other than that it's not really that tough when you know what to expect, has a predictable pattern, although a few shots can be a bit tight even on normal.
Marisa: One of her most difficult incarnations, I bomb almost every time she increases the radius of her orbs since I always get hit by 'em. She's quite cheap and you only damage her when the orbs are gone. You just need to bomb early instead of deathbombing.
Mima: Yeah, she's cheap. The game will pretty much force you to bomb on several undodgable attacks (pretty much impossible for some), but she also has several easy to avoid attacks. The key is just reaching her with enough resources, and she provides you with some nice powerups too during the battle if you need them.
SoEW really isn't all that bad in terms of difficulty (especially not compared to SA or perhaps UFO), but remember to tap the attack button, and try using ReimuC (lasers when maxed, slowest movement) - it's not quite the same gap in strength as in SA with ReimuA, but ReimuC still hits harder enough to make it that much easier during bosses. The only thing I would call a nightmare about it is the stupidly difficult Extra stage, which is easily the hardest so far.
-
I was playing PCB hard mode
apparently, my fingers had an urge to make me run in to every bullet possible
-
Official proof that today is day of suck for me, at least. :V
I was playing EoSD
Decided to try to graze some bullets as Sakuya was appearing, so I moved backwards..
Right into the bullet. Lol.
Edit: Oops, double post. Sorry.
-
...just watch Stage 5 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5267) and you'll see what it is.
-
I decided to whip out some of the PC 98 games because I hadn't played 'em in a while, decide to do a Normal run of SoEW, max bombs/lives in options cause I'm feeling rusty. Everything's going fine, I enter stage 4 with 3 bombs and 4 lives, (one really stupid full bomb death against stones), no worries at all. Do I die against Marisa? Nope, I don't even reach her. I proceed to lose every single one of my lives, died twice in literally one minute at the beginning of the stage because I completely forgot how close some of the enemies fly in to shoot at you and totally forgot to dodge. Then I get flustered to the point that I don't even think to just bombspam my way through the tougher middle section. The worst part was dying to the fairy with the 1up. >_<
I managed to sort of make up for it by proving to myself it was a fluke and resetting the options back to default and 1cc Normal immediately after with the fewer lives no problem, and then do 1cc Hard on my first try in a long time. But I seriously hung my head in shame, it would have been less sad if I'd at least died to a boss.
-
Tried IN extra since I haven't done that in awhile.
Died once on Keine's last card then ended up deathbombing it, died to Mokou's first card and deathbombed it after as well, bombed Flying Phoenix, Died AFTER Flaw of Forgiving Shrine trying to autocollect items when Mokou revived on top of me, and ended up bombing every noncard after that until two deathbombs on Woo and two deathbombs and a death on Fujiwara Volcano.
-
Played MoF Stage 4, ran into Momizi and lost a continue.
Same for Chen in PCB's Extra.
-
Maybe not embarrasing but pretty stupid!
I was doing Taboo "Four of a kind', my tactic is usually kill the right 2 and then flandre because it's safer, more constitant and doesn't rely on the boss' position. So I do it perfect, dodge like a master and then with about 1 second of shooting left I decide to take the route in between 2 bullets with a blue ball in between them instead of the large open space to my right.... I died >.<
BUT WAIT THERE IS MORE! So I decided to film it and upload my fail, so I watch my entire boring replay and about halfway into Four of a Kind I realise: 'Hey wasn't I supposed to film this?....... DOH!'
-
Picked up UFO after not playing in forever and chose Stage 6. Got through the whole thing with SanaeB and got the Full Power Item from Nue.
Then I lost four lives to Byakuren's first spellcard.
:c
-
If you are playing Hard or Lunatic, its not that unbelievable.
...
Well, the questionable thing is how she didn't die before that happened. Guess thats the embarassment.
-
I was playing EoSD fighting cirno. I moved right in front of her to avoid Icicle Fall and when I thought I was safe she shoots the yellow bullets. I then realized I wasn't playing on easy. :'(
-
This probably belongs in all three sections, so I guess I'll stick it in the topic I made. :V
So I tried a pacifist run against Byakuren (I was allowed to shoot in the stage section, but could not bomb or shoot during the boss proper).
Among the highlights:
- Running sideways into a line of bullets
- Failing Star Maelstrom pretty hardcore
- Dying multiple times to Devil's Recitation
- Clearing her at 0/X from a 9/X
The RAEG part? I missed the save replay.
-
Mine? I had to continue 3 times on PCB, ON NORMAL WITH SLOW MODE ON!!!!!!! 'Nuff said...

Use the V-Sync patch, don't even bother with Slow Mode. If anything I find it worse. If you really care enough to use it, go download japanese language and AppLocale so you can run it properly.
-
so way back when i was a baby in Touhou, i had gotten to Yuyuko's final card and kept shooting, not knowing what a survival card was.
i was like "GOD DAMN, THIS CARD TAKES A LONG TIME TO SHOOT DOWN!" since there was always a little bit of health left.
-
Slaves, you make me lol. Hard.
I also went ''OMG I CAN'T BEAT THAT CARD'' on Kokkuri-san's Contract.

I can beat Boundary of Humans and Youkai, but NOT Kokkuri-san. It's the only PCB extra/phantasm card that I didn't capture and I always either screw up the ending or forget the frogger pattern.
Also, I don't know 90% of the PC-98 chars. Hell, I don't even know which Prismriver sister is which, and that's PCB.
-
I went for a PCB Extra Clear with MarisaB since its the only character I haven't played it with. It was... saddening. Nothing to do with the shot type, just lots of derping.
Clipped on BOTH of Chen's cards without bombing. For some reason kept going. Made another very stupid death before reaching Ran.
Dodge sideways into a giant red bullet on Tanuki Laser, wat
Got smacked by a red laser in Ultimate Buddhist even though I had 4 bombs and saw my death coming 4 seconds beforehand.
Died on Shikigami "Chen"... from Ran's sparse aimed bullets. WHAT. No extra lives left now.
Capture Kokkuri-sans Contract except I GOT HIT BY A BULLET AT THE VERY END, yet the game says I STILL CAPTURED IT. In other words, I died at like the last frame possible to do so. It looks kinda cool in the replay (which I saved for incredible failure reasons).
This is too ridiculous to be a RAAAGE. I mean, I can beat it with 3 lives left easily on MarisaA, and then this happens when I try B... ;-;
-
Izuna Gongen.
I've had ReimuB, but it still took SO FUCKING LONG IT REACHED THE TIMEOUT PHASE.
WITH REIMU. NOT A. B.
-
Get hit by the lasers in Nue 1st spell
died 3 times of green UFO...but...why ?
-
I just reached Utsuho on hard.
I still can't 1cc SA on Normal... WTF :V
-
How the hell did I just die to Ultimate Buddhist? :V
-
How the hell did I just die to Ultimate Buddhist? :V
I love it when I move further up and forget about the lasers :V
-
Not sure how embarrassing this really is (only started with the series a little over a month ago), but .... I can consistently get to Chen in PCB lunatic, and even (very) occasionally get a card off Letty along the way.
In IN, I'm 0/11 on Wriggle's last spell ..... on normal.
-
I finally did it. I got past Nazrin the second time you meet her, and I saw something incredibly beautiful...I saw Syou's curvy lasers. I beat her and actually made it through the Space Invader stage....and started on Byakuren with no extra lives. I got to her third spellcard(I think) and I'm sitting there shooting her when suddenly....OMG LAZOR!!!!........and I lost.....and I don't continue....I can't bring myself to, it's like an insult to hardcore Touhou players almost. So I lost to Byakuren...but it was amazing.
-
MOST embarrassing moment? They're all embarrassing....
Well, there is the time where I tried to actually FINISH EoSD. I breezed through Rumia and Cirno, then got too confident and got a game over at China. ._.;;
-
How the hell did Suwako take me only 16 attempts? I can't beat her consistently....at all.
-
I just failed 1ccing SA Normal with ReimuB. :V Damn overconfidence.
-
I just failed 1ccing SA Normal with ReimuB. :V Damn overconfidence.
I've failed a 1cc Normal with 5 default lives once, after I've managed 3 lives Hard.
-
I've failed a 1cc Normal with 5 default lives once, after I've managed 3 lives Hard.
I've gotten to stage 6 EoSD Hard, and another time later I game overed on Moonlight Ray on the same difficulty <_<; Looks like everyone has some skill inconsistency at times, sometimes pretty freaking huge...
-
Um...wow.
I just tried a practice run of SA Stage 6 Normal.
...I game overed.
...wow.
EDIT: aaaaaand I just died six times to VoWG.
...geez.

Lol.

Already messed up a good portion of stage four, but even if I didn't I wouldn't have been too upset by this bug. With the novelty factor gone I hope it doesn't happen in a good run. On this very run Hanged Hourai Dolls also went down in record time thanks to the constant damage bug.
-
Played SWR for the first time.
Got to Tenshi with 2 continues on Easy, all went well.....until she SOMEHOW trapped me in her final card right behind her. Lost 2 lives before I was able to do anything.
-
UFO Normal, SanaeA, hoping all those runs I did with MarisaA on easy would translate into something decent.
Wound up with a game over on Kogasa's second card ..... where I could have camped out in a corner and still killed her
.

No. 154 Blazing Star "Ten Evil Stars" 3/5
Seriously.
-
No. 154 Blazing Star "Ten Evil Stars" 3/5
Seriously.
Mine's at 7/12.
Seriously.
It's not exactly lololeasy even with the horizontal safespot really... since the pink bullets move in this weird (curve?) trajectory (Since it's not vertical but kind of diagonal, horizontal dodges aren't that easy) that messes your mind up along with the shiny EVIL stars.
Then there's also deaths where I mess up safespotting and get killed by the stars. :V
One more reason would be the pressure the EVIL suns put on the player, but this applies to all of Okuu's cards.
-
Just now:
"Oh hey I'm supergrazing Grandpa Hanasaka (Parsee)"
*RUNS FACE FIRST INTO PARSEE*
-
Game over'd on EX-Alice's second phase.
Six times in a row.
...I think I'm going to take a break from Touhou.

I don't get what this bug is. Looks normal to me.
-
Died to Chiyuri after getting her down to 1 heart. We had a good run, Rikako, but tonight is not our night...
-
I don't get what this bug is. Looks normal to me.
Lunasa's second opening noncard (patterns of oval bullets) started without clearing the bullets from her first noncard (the aimed-randomspread circle bullets).
Play more Reimu and less Marisa.
-
I've 1cc'd lunatic with 5 lives remaining with Reimu B, what more do you want? :(
-
I'm getting sick of running right into Parsee's bullets.
No, really. I'm trying to Supergraze on Easy for the tournament. And I can do Yamame fine.
But NOT PARSEE. ARGH.
I'll happily run right into bullets during Green-Eyed Monster or Grandpa Hanasaka, and invariably my supergrazing technique for Parsee's boss noncards always has me getting hit RIGHT as my bomb-barrier goes out.
Ffff.
-
Ran into a bullet in LLS stage 6 almost immediately after getting an extend from one of the spiky disks. Still managed a satisfactory 1cc though.
-
I just realized Yumemi's L2 and 3 Attacks are aimed :V

I just realized Yumemi's L2 and 3 Attacks are aimed :V
99% of PC-98 stuff is aimed, I was wondering what was taking you so long.
The other 1% are solid walls, by the way. :V

I can't 1cc PoFV Normal or SWR easy.
I'm only good at mindless dodging :V
-
can't 1cc PoFV
only good at mindless dodging
what
-
what
I probably don't get the mechanics at all or I'm doing something wrong, as I can manage hard 1cc on most games, but I fail even at Normal in PoFV.
-
I just failed 1cc SA Normal at Utsuho
Right after failing 1cc SA Hard at Utsuho...
wtf... hard is so much harder, but I still manage to bomb at the right times to collect more lives than on Normal =/
-
No matter what anyone says, Utsuho is harder than Orin.
-
I think they're both at the same difficulty level
-
Orin is harder than Utsuho and I have no idea what is wrong with you, 'nako.
Utsuho is a really easy final boss. I beat her on the second time seeing her. ACTUALLY GETTING THERE was a very different matter. Screw you, Needle Mountain of a Former Hell. You're not only hard, but you activate my needle phobia and make me scream and bomb on instinct.
-
Orin is a hilarious joke. I can pretty much consistently 1 death/no death her.
Utsuho usually takes about 5 of my lives.
-
That's... pretty much the reverse for me.
And lately I've found that I've been hosing up the Satori fight...?! Satori's first was always super easy, and I beat her Yukari-cards (I play as ReimuA/Shikieiki) the first time I saw them... now I can't get out of stage four without losing at least two lives. What.
-
I like Needle Mountain on Easy/Normal, but I don't think I'm gonna see it on Hard or above anytime soon...
So, after playing tons of PoDD last night, i didn't even know I was playing on Easy... I guess I'm obligated to try Normal now. Let's go, Rikako~
-
I failed Utsuho's opener. Enough said.
-
I failed invisible full moon...
-
No matter what anyone says, Utsuho is harder than Orin.
This.
On topic: I just died twice on PCB's first stage.
-
I would say it's the fact that I can pretty easily beat every extra boss... except Suwako, who, not counting Marisa B(ugged), I've only beaten once. I also find Nue to be rather challenging, even though people keeps saying she's easy. Every time I beat her I always have no bombs or lives left.
-
I don't really understand how you consider Suwako harder than Evil Eye Sigma, but whatever.
-
Well, I just played SoEW and got Destroyed by Meira... On Easy...While tapping the shot key...
Then when I finally made it to the 5 magic stones, I got killed on their opening attack. :V
I really suck at playing SoEW, don't I?
-
SoEW, really sucks, doesn't it?
Fix'd
-
was doing a quick SA run with Marisa..B? (patchouli!) just having fun with the different shot types, while I somehow die 3 times in the first 3 stages and miraculously perfect (no deaths/bombs) the last 3 stages o.O Exept for one death on utsuhuo's definte easiest spellcard, which is probably the most embarassing :V
-
Okay, I'm just going to do it now and get it over with: EVERY SINGLE FINAL BOSS IN THE SERIES.
Honestly, as much as people insist most of them are incredibly easy or totally suck, I manage to consistantly fail at them all.
Remilia- I can get close on a lot of her attacks, but halfway through everything goes to hell and I have to bombspam through. Red Magic I can't even get halfway through before I die or bomb, and don't even get me started on Scarlet Shoot. Most of her noncards aren't too threatening, but I always tend to choke on the ones where the bullets bounce off the walls. Star of David is probably the only actual card I can do.
Yuyuko- I can get most of her noncards... Most of them, but not all. However, her spellcards completely and utterly tear me apart. I can get close on a couple of them (Perfect Cherry Blossom -Getting Lost- I've gotten particularly close on), but for the most part I have to bombspam them all, and I fail so badly at Reflowering it was what killed me during like 9 of my 1CC attempts. Heck, I even let loose a bomb during the last 3 seconds of my completed 1CC run just to be absolutely sure I couldn't screw up and ruin it for myself.
Kaguya- Screw you who say she's obscenely easy. On easy yes, but on normal I can't do any of her spells *OR* most of her nonspells. I have to be sure I have enough supplies to bombspam most of it (and lucky for me Neitherworld team makes that relatively doable since they get additional bombs often and Youmu's bomb is very powerful). Rest assured I try on each attack, but even Buddha's Stone Bowl will occasionally wall me. Final card makes me cry and enjoys game over-ing me.
Eirin- About the same as Kaguya, except I can handle more of her attacks (or at least last longer on them), despite less experience fighting her. If I could get the tricks down I'm sure Eirin would be much easier, while Kaguya seems to like making walls.
Shikieiki- I tend to play as Reisen in PoFV, so she gives me plenty of trouble. Then again, she gives everyone trouble, so I won't waste too much time explaining.
Kanako- MoF is pretty much my adventures in accumulating lives to completely bombspam through absolutely everything Kanako throws at me. Only her first spellcard doesn't mandate one.
Utsuho- Obscenely high HP, bombs don't do crap to her, and I suck at dodging a lot of her attacks. If I ever get past Orin in a 1CC play I doubt she'll be a walk in the park.
Byakuren- For the most part I can capture the first half of her spell and nonspell attacks. Once she starts bringing out the Tewi lasers and going for a stroll during her nonspells I have problems. Her third noncard and Good Omen attacks are easy to clip, though.
-
I once got kicked by Midboss!Rumia while I was collecting point items. >_>
-
I like how I reach Kanako with 6 lives and end with 0
-
-3am dead tired but I wanted to play PCB normal anyway... I realised it wasn't a good idea when Cirno came in and I lost a life >.>
-Getting killed on Patchouli extra(and I mean ON her not by her attack...) on the moment Silent Selene started (I have a bad habit to go "tickling" bosses before the battle starts... Focusing and focusing with Marisa makes it look like her orbs are tickling the boss :P)
-Lost my last life on one of Yuyuko's easiest non-spell card attack (the one with light blue, dark blue and green streaming bullets) while saying to my housemate who was watching "Oh well this definitely won't be a 1CC but I should at least get to the next spell card technically" *dies* Was the first and only time I died on that XD
-
I once got kicked by Midboss!Rumia while I was collecting point items. >_>
I got decked by midboss Wriggle once. (WRIGGLE KICK) I kept going.
...then I got decked by midboss Mystia.
Yeah.
-
I've been rammed by midboss Parsee before. In SA, there isn't even the excuse of points/points items giving lives for my PoCing, since, they don't >.<
-
- Running into Cat Orin on multiple occasions after "Cat's Step".
- Getting distracted while dodging and resting my hitbox right on a line of a laser fighting Byakuren.
- Failing Cranberry Trap repeatedly. Seriously, that card is completely trivial to me by now.
- Consistently spawning UFOs about 0.5 seconds before a mid-boss/boss runs in.
-
LLS lunatic. Died before Orange. Restart. Died before Orange again.
-
- Consistently spawning UFOs about 0.5 seconds before a mid-boss/boss runs in.
I think that the UFOs/bosses are placed PRECISELY so that's likely to happen. That happens to me all the time too.
-
I just died to Youkai Polygraph. How that happened is beyond my comprehension and to makes matters worse it was the only miss in the stage. :V
-
- Running into Cat Orin on multiple occasions after "Cat's Step".
This, so much.
-
I, er, somehow managed to die on Phantasm, Foam, Shadow by tackling Yukari before the spellcard had even started. :V
-
I keep forgetting that the Prismrivers' sisters' prisms, in addition to moving their diamond bullets, also hit you. This probably accounts for more of my deaths on Noisy Funeral "Stygian Riverside" than the bullets themselves =/
-
Taking some attempts at PCB Extra, I had one attempt going decently before I lost focus for a brief moment on Unilateral Contract and died with bombs in stock. I then proceed to epic fail Shikigami "Chen" by dying once (Chen rammed into me) and bombing a few times, leaving me at 0/0 for Kokkuri-san's Contract. Clipped a bullet near the end of that one.
The kicker? I was at 490/500 point items. 10 more going into this and I would have gotten that extend and perhaps cleared her next card.
Not sure what was worse, that or my most recent attempt having me die 3 times to Princess Tenko.
-
Tried out EoSD Stage 5 on Hard Practice. The point? I froze the rank at 99 and for safety/fun reasons, had lives/power frozen too.
Basically, most of the fairies either have their pattern smashed into itself, or they fire nothing. Sakuya's noncards all move really fast, and are really fun to dodge as they bounce around. Her first two boss cards are easy, but... the midboss and final card...
When I got to the midboss card, "OH GOD ILLUSIONAL MISDIRECTION WHAT ARE YOU DOING OH MY GOD THE WALLS THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE"
"Okay, only Killing Doll left, lets just fini-OH GOD WHAT THE FUCK AUGH IT COVERS THE ENTIRE SCREEN AND THEN THEY ALL REDIRECT AND GO EVERYWHERE WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN"
It was fun :V
-
Blue UFO Kick on the last second...
-
Start Shou 5/1. I don't make it out.
How can I read Ghost Ship Harbor but not any of Shou's crap? o.o
-
Died twice... to Cirno's nonspells. On easy.
Bad day.
-

Hint: Bombspam.

Whoops (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5665). Fortunately, it's Spell Card Practice :V
-
Playing PCB with Reimu, get to stage 4 boss, kill the first spellcard... and then, instead of Lunasa attacking, suddenly I'm fighting Merlin.
The sheer "WHAT THE HELL ITS MERLIN" factor killed me on the noncard, and then the fact that I'd completely what forgotten Merlin's spellcard "Ghost Clifford" was like killed me again.
I managed to get to Resurrection Butterfly with 4 extra lives anyway, and proceed to die three times stupidly trying to get cherry items. BLAH, at least I still 1cced...

I haven't watched that replay yet, but I doubt it. Did you ever die twice before even reaching Moonlight Ray on EoSD? Followed by game overing to Moonlight Ray?

Did you ever die on the first bullet of the second wave of enemies on SA normal Stage 1 ?
EDIT: <i_hate_all>
Also, I started developing an absolute hate for all stages 4 and most of stages 5 I played : (I only have Touhou 06, 07, 08, 10, 11, 12)
- I just game-overed before Patchouli, then once while fighting her, then twice for Sakuya MIDBOSS. On Normal.
- I die (and continue :V) more while fighting Youmu than Yuyuko on the same difficulty (Normal).
- I absolutely hate Marisa. (STARBULLSHITLOLOLOL) Also lasers. Reisen is not so bad...
- I can barely get to Aya. I hate Nitori's lasers. I hate lasers. I fail when there are lasers. Also, Sanae's stars.
- I can barely get to stage 4. I hate Yuugi's lasers. I hate lasers. I fail when there are lasers.
- I was recently able to no-death Ichirin on normal so I am now able to get to stage 4. Was never able to defeat Murasa, except with infinite lives. I hate Shou's lasers. I hate lasers. I fail when there are lasers.
I also hate "continue-restartstage"
</i_hate_all>
-
I always die at least once to the first fairies in all the Windows games.
So your thing is not quite so bad.
(Yes, this actually happens a lot to me. I don't shoot and move up to the PoC, expecting to get right into the face of the first fairy, and literally get right into the face of the first spawning fairy.)
-
Did you ever die on the first bullet of the second wave of enemies on SA normal Stage 1 ?
Have you ever died to the very first bullet that appears on Stage 1 of EoSD Easy? I have.
-

Reinactment. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5738) Complete with authentic "I have no idea where the faeries are spawning and can't kill them all." Except that I didn't die two additional times, I just ragequit instead.
-
-BACKING UP INTO A BULLET.
-Also, Icicle Fall.
-I suppose running into both Rumia, Trying to get power items faster, and the third fairy wave counts.

"Hey, Chen looks like she has a top hat on! :D"

I'll let the picture speak for itself.
-
How the HELL did I go into Honest Man's Death with four lives, no bombs, and come out with two lives, no bombs? >_<
-
Note to self:
Chalk-White Russian Dolls: Easily shotgunned at the beginning.
Benevolent French Dolls: Bullets sent out with no warning; if you get too close, you'll die.
DO NOT CONFUSE THESE TWO CARDS IN THE FUTURE.
Thanks,

I just died twice on Yasaka's Divine Wind.

How did I manage to die to Yumeko's penultimate phase? No, it's not the knives I died to. It's the quirky streaming.

-
I don't even know how to do that card without timing it out every time (unless I'm using lol SakuyaA).
This is the easiest spellcard ever. :P
Remember two safespots: the one in the middle and the one at the left wall.
Stand in the middle safespot, stream to the left, dash to the next safespot, then stream to the right and dash in the middle again. With MarisaA the card will end here, with other shot types you'll have to do the same thing again but instead go to the right wall.
Demonstration (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5782), also includes a different way to capture butterfly delusion.
On-topic:
Ran bodyslammed me immediately after youkai laser. :V
Also died to youkai blazing wheel for the first time ever.
-
Failed "Pendulum Guard" 3 times in a row in trying to get a 1cc run started. Apparently, I still suffer from "Reimu Hitbox Liability Syndrome", even though I play using just about all the shot types.
-
1cc'd PCB Easy. However, I died three times to Yuyuko's survival card before I realized that there are no Last Words in PCB, and that I could still bomb. >_>
-
I failed Mad Dance on Medoteko (or whatever).
brb seppuku.
On a more "rage" moment, I managed to survive the second half of SA stage 3 for the first time in a while, but failed a perfect of the stage thanks to a "I don't know what was going through my head" dodge into a bullet on Mt. Ooe.
-
I just did a MoF Extra run just for fun. Actually got pretty far without dying, and a death on Froggy is forgivable in my eyes.
Then it happens:
Red Frog - 3 deaths! :o
I have no idea how or why I screwed up that hard. What is even more confusing is that directly after that, I capture Suwa War and Mishaguji, War being my first time capture ever.
Wat.
-
I have NEVER managed to dodge the Great Catfish system card in UNL, even after seeing my opponent use it.
Yes, I know it only hits grounded opponents and it's blockable. :(
-
Dying twice on Yugi on my Normal SA 1cc attempt, and still going for the sake of unlocking stage 5 on practice, getting to Utsuho's last card with two lives and failing miserably :( I'm a sad panda now, even though I far exceeded my prognostics for this run. Time to get back to it!
-
I just lost 5 lives on Murasa normal.... but I DID capture her survival card, wtf?!
-
Telefragged by Ran *AGAIN*, all because I wanted to finish Princess Tenko faster.
-
So today out of curiosity I tried a no-vertical SA Normal 1cc. Got through the first four stages with no deaths and only bombed on cards that aren't possible to capture no-vert (Parsee's midboss card, for example). Then I got to Stage 5 and Orin took six lives from me because I was too stubborn to bomb. I made it to Utsuho and game overed on Hell's Tokamak because I had no spare lives and 2.0 power and it's not possible to no-vert that card.
So I tried again and promised to bomb more on Orin.
I didn't.
:(
-
I just tried to no vert capture it a few times. That didn't work so well. Couldn't even pull a no death no bomb timeout like that even with ReimuA's gapping.
What's the plan for Hell's Artificial Sun?
-

Oh whoops, I mixed up Hell's Tokamak and Blazing Star [Fixed Star]. I game overed on [Fixed Star].
Aaaaaand I totally forgot about Hell's Artificial Sun, I might have to just break the challenge there. It's not possible to no-vert that card, after all...
-

Sure it is, (kinda) Just keep holding down while you move left and right :V
-
Or you could come in with enough lives to time the thing out from within the sun.
Or not.
-
It is possible if you enter the stage with max lives. The Artificial Sun strategy is to go left (or right) and just sit at the edge until a red bullet walls you. Let it draw you in, then deathbomb and move back to the side. Repeat until the timer runs out!
-
Hm, just did a practice run of the stage. Had three deaths prior to [Fixed Star], all of which could have been avoided. But I should be able to beat [Fixed Star] if I stay under Okuu the whole time and bomb whenever a sun gets in my way. I'm using ReimuA, so I get a good bit of invincibility time. If I run out of bombs...well, suicide and repeat.
For Heaven and Hell Meltdown/Hell's Tokamak (I can't remember which is Normal Mode)...yeah, that really can't be done. I had to do the same process as [Fixed Star]: stay under Okuu as much as I can and use that invincibility time for all it's worth. I died three or four times on that card because I ran out of bombs.
I entered Hell's Artificial Sun with two spare lives. I just didn't have enough bombs to time it out. According to Mefidex's info, it's a 140-second card, and ReimuA's bomb only gets you, what, five seconds of invincibility? With no-vertical, all I can do is bomb, move to the side, then try to time it out. I couldn't do that though :(
EDIT: Second try, replay here (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6112). Reached HAS with 3 and 4/5 lives (FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF), got the timer down to 30 seconds. Maybe if I do just a bit better during the rest of the stage...
-
I'm not really sure if this will work (I just tried it for myself and was able to avoid a few waves), but how about abusing Yukari's ability on Fixed Star? There's just enough room between the suns for you to gap to the other side and run with the sun that's following you. It might not be easy due to the yellow bullets, but if you can race down to the other side, you might be able to capture it (or at least time it out) and save a few lives for HAS.
I'm not saying you should do this, but it's a theory that might make the battle a bit easier if you can do it correctly.

It might not be easy due to the yellow bullets, but if you can race down to the other side, you might be able to capture it (or at least time it out) and save a few lives for HAS.
I'm not saying you should do this, but it's a theory that might make the battle a bit easier if you can do it correctly.
I've tried this. It sort of works until you realize that you'll eventually get screwed over by the small bullets because you've got a giant sun coming up from your right and you don't have time to wait for the yellow ones to move to a better spot.

Concealed the Conclusion, B route.
Went up to the PoC to get point items after Stare at the Sun.
Didn't have time to get back to bottom center to start Immortal Clock of Death (http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Concealed_the_Conclusion:_Stage_2B_Spell_Cards#Spell_Card_081), which misdirected the first wave.
And I got killed by the lasers. And then I respawned and when my respawn invincibility wore off I got killed by the exact same laser.
orz
-
Killed by a Parse Clone spawing on top of me. Thats about it
-
There are some days when you just have to accept that you aren't going to do well on Touhou.
Tried UFO Hard to see if I was any better, never got past Ichirin.
Tried EoSD Normal to see if I could 1LC it, died to Perfect Freeze RUNNING INTO A FROZEN BULLET.
-
Lately, I've had a rash of stage 1 run-ins with bullets on UFO normal. -.-

Yeah, I tried that, it doesn't quite seem to work. It works before the yellow bullets come at you, but once they're out, you don't have enough time to wait for them to get out of your way with GIANT SUN coming at you.
-
I died on Lost Soul's Village. With five bombs in stock.
-
I wasn't aware that it was possible to die TWICE to the streaming at the beginning of stage 4 before the stage title appears >_<
-
nothing more needs to be said (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hbCjRHB8rw)
-
I died to Gold Detector on hard.
I died to Gold Detector on hard.
I DIED TO GOLD DETECTOR ON HARD WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS I CAN BEAT THIS WITH ONE HAND TIED BEHIND MY BACK
I HAVE SHAMED MY FAMILY
-
I have died in Xu Fu's Dimension. Twice.
-
Decided to try UFO lunatic again. Proceeded to fail Busy Rod for the first time.
Well, I more than "failed": I got LAZORED SO HARD
-
Last night played EoSD for the first time in weeks.
Entered stage 4 with 3/3 and game overed at red NDL.
-
Died to Ichirin's first card due to getting punched in the face by the first set of fists.
-
Died to Catadioptric with some bombs in stock. Then I beat the card and proceed to fly straight into Flandre while trying to get the items costing me 3 more of my bombs.
Despite that, I somehow got my highest scoring clear of EoSD Extra.
-
...Most embarrasing was...
I was on EoSD extra, Flandre's last spellcard. I had only 1 bomb left, and I panicked so I used it (Shouldn't have D8) When she was about to "explode", a bullet came flying towards me and died!!! I was so close DX

It seems you too had to experience the "Flandre ending your run at QED at last freakin' second treatment". That happens to so many people... its bound to be a curse.
Speaking of curses! I seem to have a curse cast over me that prevents me from capturing Hourai Elixir... on normal. Eh?
-
Failed not one, but two of Keine's cards by bombing the preceding non-card after it had ended.
Also:
Speaking of curses! I seem to have a curse cast over me that prevents me from capturing Hourai Elixir... on normal. Eh?
I have the same thing .... on easy.
-
I unlocked SoEW extra.
-
I ran into the HUGE BUBBLE BULLETS on Components of Konpaku.
-
I died to Nue's opener. Twice.
-
I died on "Seven Stones and Seven Trees"
-
Seven Stones and Seven Trees tends to get me a lot more often than I'd like to admit.
-
Seven Stones and Seven Trees tends to get me a lot more often than I'd like to admit.

9/10 runs that were perfect Suwako fights have me bomb or die on that spell card. Lasers + confined dodging of bullets with large hitboxes themselves = DX
-
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6290
I'm speechless.
-
So I'm finally able to play EoSD at full speed, due to my OS now not eating a massive chunk of my processor. I boot up ReimuA Normal.
WHY CAN'T I DEATHBOMB?! WHYYYYY
I still keep forgetting to move my mouse every so often, since after a while, the monitor turns off if no mouse/keyboard motion is done. So I lose a life to Patchy's Non-Directional LaserB. I also lose two Continues to Remi, by dodging into large bullets.
-
I died to a nameless fairy thrice. :'(
-
So today I realized I've been playing Shuusou Gyoku with the practice mode set to Stage 5 Hard Mode without realizing it. I was wondering why the game started out so hard :V
-
So once a month I take my laptop to these anime events and set up UNL We use my ps2 adapters and the host giant monitor to play. So I was talking to a few people and laughing because all the new people didn't want to try to play against me. A person who is semi familiar with fighting games came and beat me ..... I was using my main..... and I lost... to a newbie. I didnt let that happen again though XD No more going easy unless they really are lost.
-
Ah ha ha, clearly writing fanfiction doesn't do well for the game side of me. To celebrate sinking over 200 minutes of hawt writing action I played UFO stage 5, and I GOT RAPED. I reached Syou with only two deaths, and left the fight with no lives and one bomb. Fun times, fun times...
-
You know you should get some sleep when you repeatedly fail to deathbomb with the border team...
-
Just had a run of Phantasm where I
Died to Yukari's first spellcard and bombed it enough that it almost timed out
Died to Yukari's second spellcard
Border broke or bombed all but one part of her third card.
Had to bomb Xanadu of Straight and Curve
Died to Yukari's Spiriting Away and then had to bomb spam cause it got too fast.
Bombed twice on Evil Butterfly in the Zen Temple and broke a border on it.
Successfully border cheesed Double Death Butterfly for the first time ever.
Captured Shikigami "Ran yakumo" at least
Game overed on the first part of the survival card.
-
There is something to be said for entering Reisen 6/6 and finishing the game 0/0.
On Easy.
-
I've ran into Cirno's Perfect Freeze bullets. While they weren't moving. On more than one occasion. I've also been Wrigglekicked by nameless fairies.
-
That has happened to me a lot.
So I've 1cc'd UFO Normal and I decide to try to unlock it with some of the other shot types.
When you find a way to die to Normal Kogasa 4 times, you know you should give up for the day.
-
I've only played EoSD and PCB. The following problems are extremely common for me, being such a n00b at Touhou and all. Tips would be appreciated.
EoSD (Hard mode):
Dying from Mei Ling's first normal attack as stage boss (surprisingly easy to die from this).
Dying from Mei Ling's Wind Chime of Colorful Rainbow spell card (happens ALL THE TIME with Marisa).
Bombing on Koakuma.
Bombing like crazy (and sometimes dying) against the millions of kunai that the normal enemies of Stage 4 throw at me.
Losing huge amounts of lives against Patchouli, especially with her evil wood attacks.
Not getting an extra life from midboss Sakuya due to not killing her lifebar.
Dying from Remilia's Mountain of a Thousand Needles spell card (I'm not sure why, this card looks like it could be easily dodged, but I always die).
Dying from Remilia's Vampire Illusion spell card (the bullet movement is so darn random).
Dying from Remilia's Scarlet Gensokyo spell card (I'm sure many would sympathize).
EoSD (Extra):
Dying from that one enemy before meeting midboss Patchouli.
Dying from Patchouli's Royal Flare spell card (why is it so hard to dodge between those bullets?).
Always bombing against Patchouli's Philosopher's Stone spell card (dunno how to avoid this spell card).
-
I've also been Wrigglekicked by nameless fairies.
Is there ANYONE that this hasn't happened to at some point? I know that it happens to me a LOT.

I've been run over by the first wave of fairies in IN extra because I forgot they come in from the bottom.

I was busy failing at Uncontainable Nuclear Reaction (FFFFFFF only ever captured this twice FFFFFFF), and I nonchalantly looked at the spinning nuclear sign in the background after a death and...
HOLY SHIT IS THAT A CAT?!
How have I missed this until now? o_o And why? Why is there a cat on the nuclear sign? WHY? FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TELL ME! D:

How have I missed this until now? o_o And why? Why is there a cat on the nuclear sign? WHY? FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TELL ME! D:
Utsuho's spellcard background in Subterranean Animism has a real-world picture of a cat on it. One reason ZUN might have included this in the background could be because of the wild cats that have colonized the abandoned city of Pripyat'. Pripyat' was in close proximity to Chernobyl, and after the catastrophe there the population was evacuated. Recent excursions back into the ghost town lead to the discovery of a small community of irradiated wild cats that live comfortably in the foundations of abandoned homes.
Or ZUN was just drunk, I don't know. :V
As for me. I just died on Resurrection Butterfly.
...on one of the easy purple waves. :-X
-
Did I just seriously clipdeath Sinking Vortex three times on Normal :(
-
I just failed every one of Koishi's cards up to Youkai Polygraph. (Which I game-over'd at)
What.
-
I was misdirecting Youmu's midboss noncard, so I was to the left of Youmu.
The bullets start to appear, so I move right...
and promptly fly into Youmu and die.
Oh and another one is when I was going up against Fox-Tanuki Youkai Laser. I always play higher up on the screen.
I ran into Ran (no pun intended) as I was dodging a wave of blue bullets. >>
-
I-
I just-
What.
I've completely forgotten how to do Mokou's [Phoenix Tail] spellcard. What? Like I know how to do it but I can't do it. This is so weird...D:
-
After seeing some doujin comics make fun of how the player can fly directly in front of Cirno during "Icicle Fall", I tried to copy this in the game.
I attempted the spell card multiple times trying to find this safe zone in Normal mode. For some reason it didn't cross my mind that it only worked on Easy.
-
I managed to dodge every bullet in Genetics of the Subconscious only to have Koishi effectively bodyslam me after I forget my movement pattern.
-
Embarrising?...
Maybe 1 1/2 year ago, when I realized that Remila's Stage was easy on Hard, but I failed stupidly by a slow bullet
-
Reisen's Last Word ... the most common bullets I die to are the stationary ones.
/facepalm
-
I... I died to Letty...
On the easy "move straight down the screen" bullets.
-
Reisen's Last Word ... the most common bullets I die to are the stationary ones.
/facepalm
The stationary bullets are actually the harder ones to dodge. The only reason why people raeg about the moving ones is because the stationary ones block the path.
Also, wow at this still on the first thread.
On subject, it seems that no matter what I do, I simply cannot capture Star Maelstrom. Even running at 30 FPS doesn't help.
-
Alice bent me over and kicked my butt like I was a newbie. She was dangerous, toss in her 3 companions and she is a crazy hard boss fight >:C
-
SA Extra MarisaC.
How on earth. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6575)
The end is embarrassingly mind-devouringly Hell Temple-esque. How...?
-
I died three times today on Utsuho's Planetary Revolution. It's almost exactly like Fixed Star, which I have a near perfect record on, and I couldn't even stay safe in the safespot for this one...
-
Just failed to complete two runs of MoF Extra with Marisa unBugged. In that time, I rammed a laser during Two Claps One Bow, was clipped by a laser I swear didn't touch me during Long Arm and Long Leg, rammed Suwako while circling her during Snake eats the Croaking Frog, can't dodge Seven Stones to save my life, got clipped at the last second by Suwa War, failed a stage clear at the end of Mishaguji-sama, and otherwise just played as badly as I did when I picked up the series a year ago.
Oh, and I forgot to blame Marisa for being a fat fuck. Lay off the donuts (the food, not our Donut), fucking fatty.
-
Three more runs of SA Extra.
...I'm never going to get past the heart cards again, am I?
Among the three runs, there was one death that was not a clipdeath.
-
Death-captured Kokkuri-San's Contract. As in, died in the last fraction of a second, late enough to be a capture but early enough that the bullet didn't dissappear. Wouldn't be embarassing were it not the FOURTH TIME this has happened.

Wow, I've done that before too! It looks so frickin awesome in the replay.
-
I died on Cirno... Icicle Fall EASY portion of Cirno X-X When I saw that I was like ??? then :o and then >:( and finally :'(... WTF... I now kinda hate Reimu a bit. I can got Icicle Fall on Normal at 1 7/10 rate for capture/attempts yet the Easy version is 0/10. I beat the Normal version with Marisa, so switching to Reimu may have caused this...
Just thinking of this failure is so >:( I am RAGING due to this!

...What. First of all, Icicle Fall Easy doesn't have ANYTHING to make it tougher than the Normal version no matter how you dodge it. Second of all, YOU CAN AVOID THE ENTIRE ATTACK just by going up close next to Cirno.
-
I'm always on the wrong side of a death capture. I've never done it.
-
Death-captured Kokkuri-San's Contract. As in, died in the last fraction of a second, late enough to be a capture but early enough that the bullet didn't dissappear. Wouldn't be embarassing were it not the FOURTH TIME this has happened.
Oh, isn't that the most infuriating thing ever? :(
-
I guess switching from Marisa, whom I used on Normal, to Reimu, whom I used on Easy, threw me off, that and not playing PCB in months on end probly made me rusty, like big time.
-
A run on UFO Extra.
Made it up all the way until Karakasa Surprising Slash without dying.
Lose two lives on that spell card.
Smack into a blue bullet at the POC just before I collect that 1up item.
facepalm.jpg
-
I just died on Shackles a Criminal Can't Remove.
:V
-
In my current half asleep stupor I'm currently in, I attempted to shotgun Princess Undine. First laser. I really shouldent be playing after a allnighter.
-
I did a random run of SA Extra just now. Miraculously, no deaths throughout the entire thing. By the time I captured Rorschach in Danmaku, I thought "what the hell, might as well go for no-deaths."
I then proceed to game over on Genetics of the Subconscious. THAT'S LIKE FOUR OR FIVE DEATHS ;_;
-
1 month hiatus results:
My skills are the equivalent of a Hard Mode Player now. Well, let's see how quickly I get back up to speed then.
...joy.
-
Heh. Back when I took my one week break after failing at Scarlet Meister (yeah, a break I actually followed through with), I remember booting up IN lunatic and was freaked out that I couldn't read the bullets at all. I felt completely blind. Then of course an hour later I captured Scarlet Meister, so I bet you'll catch right back up.
And don't forget my request. :3
-

Doesn't look like I will for a while; might take 1-2 days. I'm lacking precision, control and the ability to read the faster bullets. Everything else is fine though.
And don't forget my request. :3
I would've liked to have done it before the end of this year, but at this rate...
-
You know those fairies in the beginning of PCB stage 1 that flies down one side, then diagonally down the other side? I died to one of those once.
-
So I was going through SA stage 3 to try and time out Mt. Ooe
So I died to Shackles a Criminal Can't Remove
brb seppuku

I did that too
that stupid life fragment made me die :V
I'm still wondering why is that card THAT easy. It's safe to say that there aren't any bullets.
-
I did that too
that stupid life fragment made me die :V
I actually died DURING the card by ramming a random snowball in one of the sides. :V
-
I captured Peerless Wind God this time... o
You know what I failed?
Everything else.
-
I did that too
that stupid life fragment made me die :V
This happened to me too. I was low on power, and I knew I wouldn't be able to get the fragment... So I bombed, and went through the ring. Huge mistake. This was on Lunatic, so I ended up with a bunch of bubble bullets everywhere... Especially after I ended up bombing a second time >_<
-
I die in SA Stage 1 more than anything else in the world
-
I boot up SA since its the one I never play, Ive beaten the game before, so I think it won`t be too hard, I immediately die on Kisume.
-
Using Sanae A in UFO I TIMED OUT Nazrin's last card. While shooting. :-
Also in EoSD streamed Cirno's opener wrong end ended up bombing. TWICE.
-
Ah...
Ah...
PCB stage 6...no bombs one death. Including the stage portion.
Do you know what kept me from a perfect stage clear?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT KEPT ME FROM A PERFECT STAGE CLEAR?
Yuyuko's fourth non-spell.
I mean god, if there is one stage I want to perfect, it's this. But it's soooooo stressful. Just because I can near perfect it doesn't mean it's easy. Every single individual attack has a chance of failure beyond a simple fluke, and dying because you passed all but one is just heartbreaking.

That sucks really, really hard and I know how you feel (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=1656.msg67169#msg67169).
Having said that... how the Christ did you fail that, of all things?
-
The attack is usually just tapping, right? Well, once in a while, the RNG spawns two bullets next to each other, requiring a larger dodge than normal to avoid. This causes the whole streaming aspect to fly out the window and death is much more likely. Guess what happened?
But FUCK. I seriously feel like crying now. ;_; I just hurt my knuckle by pounding my table, missing, and hitting the side of my keyboard (which I love very much and I'm sorry keyboard :<), I can't get through the spam anymore, I'm just done. v_v

If there's anything I've learned when going for a perfect run of things, restart if you mess up anything ever. It will avert a lot of rage.
The other thing I've learned is that if you do a 1DNB run you'll probably get it done within a couple of attempts, so get back on it. :V

Have I mentioned this is approximately the fifth time I've done a 1DNB run of this? >:|

Fun fact: In about 15 minutes of attempts, I've gotten through the stage once. In fact, I'm making a video JUST for you to show what fun this is. Look forward to it, it has Bad Apple. :V
EDIT: Dammit, video was ruined by my actually making it through once. >_> Died at Demon World though.
EDIT: GOD.
FUCKING.
DAMMIT.
That would have been the PERFECT video to show you how soul crushing this is, then I had to go and actually win! WHY MUST THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN?!
...Wait.

Attempted UFO Extra No Vert. Obviously not possible but I tried anyway.
-
I can't consistently 1cc Mystic Square or Perfect Cherry Blossom Normal despite the fact that I've 1cc'd 4 Hard modes (LLS, Imperishable Night, Mountain of Faith, and Subterranean Animism) yet I can get to stage 5 Boss Youmu on Hard with 1 credit despite that. I have also gotten close on IN Lunatic which makes that fact even worse.
-
Attempted UFO Extra No Vert. Obviously not possible but I tried anyway.
Unless you're kidding, didn't you bring AM's no-vert run to attention? Or it could have been MoF. Either way, I can't find it on his site anymore but have it saved from back then. UFO Extra, that is.

I only caught wind of the MoF No Vert; I've never seen this replay yet. Looks like I've got another replay to mimic with another Shot Type.
If it's even possible with another Shot Type
EDIT: Wow, this is a lot more difficult that the MoF one. SanaeB trivializes the stage as expected. Looks like this won't just be a 1-shot victory for me.
-
Damn
Only 2 deaths. Red UFOs could have been capturable maybe. The death at the end of the survival card looks like it might have been avoidable, not sure. Undefined Darkness sucked less than I thought it would.
I think you'll have to use SanaeB if you want to mimic that. But that was impressive to watch.
Edit: Anyone have a link to AM's No Vert MoF?
-
Red UFOs are capturable. He just rushed it.
Still, my attempt (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6766). It's... crappy. "Undefined Darkness" is theoretically possible to do NV, but that requires a lot of luck. And I mean a lot. Some things I don't understand though. See the replay for more details; you'll understand when you see it.
EDIT: Oh no, wait, I see it now.
/me headdesk's
And AM's MoF NV in attachment.
-
I just lost three lives in less than fifteen seconds to Parsee. "Ragequit" doesn't begin to describe how much I freaked out.
edit: and in the next run I die three times in pre-midboss-Yuugi stage 3. I better quit for the week before I break something.
edit#2: and failed UFO extra twice in a row without even getting to Grudge Bow. please wait warmly while players are destroying furniture.
-
^ I assume you were playing lunatic
can't you read the description?
Oni God Mode
Best played while DRUNK
just kidding
but really what difficulty was it?
-
Although I mentioned this in the rage thread a while back, this definitely applies here. http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6669
I can watch this replay several times, and I still just wonder how I managed to screw that up after what was 5 mostly well played stages. I'm sure there are Normal and Hard mode players that wouldn't have messed that up with the amount of resources I had left at Reisen, yet as a Hard mode player for the most part, I still managed to screw it up.
-
MoF No Bombs attempt.
After Stage 1: 3 life stock
After Stage 2: 5 life stock
After Stage 3: 5 life stock (two deaths)
After Stage 4: 3 life stock (two deaths)
Stage 5: game over at Midboss Sanae's opener (four deaths)
Holy crap it's been a long time since I've played Stage 5.
Edit: and of course, when I take it into practice after the fail, everything comes back to me and I perfect it again.
-
Head into UFO Hard stage 5 5/0.
Reach Shou 3/0.
Finish stage 5 0/1.
Capture Byakuren's first card (wtf)
Die by RAMMING INTO HER WHILST POC'ING.

I just tried SA Hard with MarisaB.
I got Dynamic Entry'd by Parsee, Yuugi, and midboss Orin. :(

One of my friends from a different forum started playing UNL, so I decided to play a few matches with him. He's played other fighters before, so he was a pretty even match for me.
The second-to-last match we played, I was Reimu and he was Patchy. I intentionally sandbagged during the second round long enough to build up my card gauge for Fantasy Heaven, got knocked down, then activated it as soon as the third round started. I chase him down, get seven hits, and...!
...Nothing happens! I ended up being a frame too late, as the Fatal KO music started playing, but no swirly spiral of seals appeared. What's embarrassing about this is that I went on to lose the match afterwards. >_<

The first time I played Touhou, I thought I was actually doing something and was shooting bullets but then I realized that my keyboard wasn't plugged in... 0.o

Oh, the cord accidentally got pulled out... I have no idea how though... *Glares at stupid friend*
-
Eh, whenever I go back to playing PoDD I keep "focusing", and it usually takes me at least a few stages to realize what I'm doing. It doesn't hinder me in the least, but still.
-
I screwed up Xu-Fu's dimension once.
-
I tend to have trouble with the lasers on Sanae's first boss card, so I was paying close attention to them trying to find the best place to go. Unfortunately, I was paying so much attention that I forgot to dodge the aimed bullets she shoots.
-
I'm finally learning the UFO Extra Stage and can semi-consistently reach Nue. I just had a run where I reached her 5/0 (two bomb fragments).
I proceeded to die four times on Red UFOs, then another two deaths on her midspell.
-
I just died to Koishi's 2nd last non-spell.

Got scared, rammed myself into a bullet, etc.
-
This is either the best or worst idea I have ever had in my life. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=061N1k12_Q8)
-
did I just bodyslam Kogasa twice in the same run while auto-collecting
did I just game over UFO extra at Kogasa three times in a row
brb seppuku
-
Heiankyou, stop making me crash and burn five seconds into the card. T_T
-
I'm glad that Philosophy's third phase killed me, because otherwise that would have been a perfect run ruined by two deaths on Youkai Polygraph.
I have no idea how this happened. :V

First Koishi attempt in 2 months.
Perfect up to Genetics, where I died once.
Philosophy. I forgot to move at the first phase, stood in the wrong place on the 2nd one and the 3rd one ate me.
And then I captured Subterranean Rose.
-
(During Imperishable Shooting, wave #4)
Okay Reimu, the bullet will probably stop underneath you, so move down and left to get inside the formation.
*Reimu moves straight down and hits the bullet*
Reimu, you hate me, don't you?
-
So I'm fighting MoF Aya on Hard, and I capture both her second and third spells like it's nothing (no seriously, it felt like that). I then proceed to die on her fourth spell (again), and enter Stage 5 with only 2.xx Power. Then I die on the first wave of enemies because I moved left too early. I'm really inconsistent at MoF...
-
Why do people complain about Danmaku Chimaera again? I just captured it twice in a row at 1.xx power, having only seen it once before ???
Hours later, I die three times on DC, all three with 4+ bombs in stock.
*Sen reminds himself to knock on wood
-
6 lives on stage 2 in UFO. Alright. I died 5 times on Kogasa. Crap.
-
I got really careless because I thought the border in PCB would protect me from everything. Too bad it dissipated a millisecond before I touched the bullet from Youmu's Ageless Obsession. I should have just activated it earlier... Those extra points were very attractive though.
-
I just died to Perfect Freeze by ramming into one of the frozen bullets. The run went downhill form there...
-
Hm, I do believe I just triplebombed Mystia's last nonspell because I accidentally used a youkai bomb the first two times.
-
Given what it was on, I'm not sure how embarrassing this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-gcuPhKsfI) really is. And it's not even that I died, so much as ... well, just watch. :p
-
...I just failed Mokou's second spell card. I kind of zoned out a little while doing the previous non-card and wasn't thinking, and I quickly managed to wall myself between some phoenix paths before I remembered what was going on. :V
-
Killed on LLS's 2 stage Miniboss. I have disgraced my family! :'(
-
I'm not so much embarrassed by dying via "failed cutback" during SA Stage 5 Hard's second pellet hell section, but that I died via "failed cutback" in that section after what was perhaps my most skillful performance in the first pellet hell section. It's like, if I can get through that insanity as well as I did, then I shouldn't have died in the fundamentally easier part following it.

(Please pardon the nub as he posts for the first time)
I died as Hell's Artificial Sun (Normal) was exploding.
Twice. In a row.
:'(

Couple of days ago I 1 CCed Imperishable Night on hard and decided that maybe I should try a pacifist run on normal,died 3 times in the 1st stage...

I just failed Suwako's rainbow jellybeans card because I stood in the middle of the screen while shooting and took a laser to the face. :V

I find it harder then Virtue of Wind God on Hard. D: Thankfully, I can usually cap VoWG on Hard. Lunatic is a completely different matter.
-
I have WAY more trouble with VoWG Hard than MoF Easy.
But that will probably change when I get used to VoWG, as I don't think there's any trick to MoF Easy, it's just too random and slow and annoying.
-
With all those people complaining about SA, and Donut mentioning spending an hour and a half trying to perfect Stage 1 Lunatic, I decided to go try that out.
WOAH the beginning is a lot faster... ooh the boulder shoots danmaku when it explodes, nifty. Kisumu's spellcard is now really fun, and... oh it killed me once >:
Went through the rest of the stage okay, reaching Yamam-OH MY GOD YAMAME WHAT ARE YOU DOING AUUUGH THE ENTIRE SCREEN HOW DO I MISDIRECT THIS SHIT ASDFGHFSDGK*game-overs on first noncard*

Game overed on Wizard Fox Thoughts.

Tried UFO for the first time. Almost gameovered on Byakuren. On Easy.

I'm putting this out there right now, anyone who complains about Yamame's opener isn't doing it right. Get out of its way altogether. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7015) Not that hard.
And I'll keep posting this until you all get the idea.

I decided to take a crack at UFO Hard with MarisaA, since all my attempts with SanaeB end up with UFO-chaining failure.
One bomb on Nazrin Pendulum, not a big deal. Accidental death on Stage 2, didn't mess up my chain, so I made it up. 0D1B Kogasa fight (captured everything except her second card). I was feeling pretty good about the run so far.
I then proceeded to have the most terrible Stage 3 run ever and game over'd at Ichirin's second card (it was four seconds away from being an accidental timeout because lolmarisaA range anyway) because my fingers have not yet realized that I'm playing Hard Mode, and that the stuff I can dodge on Normal without bombing cannot be done here.
-
PCB Hard, I have Stage 1 down to an average of 0D0B or 1D0B, pending on various little outside things. Stage 2 is a royal nightmare though, causing anywhere from 3 Deaths and Lotsa Bombings to "Challenge Again?". Stage 3 send me to the continue screen if Stage 2 did not, and even if Stage 2 sent me to the continue screen, Stage 3 sends me anyway. Stage 4 consumes all of my remaining continues. Weird-name-De-something from Prism(river) Black anyone? :V
Does this belong in here, or the ARGH-really-long-name-that-seems-to-be-involving-shouting thread? :V Cause I borderline rage at my failures, I refuse to play in front of ANYONE due to me sucking so much, and I laugh my head off like a nutcase... all due to Stage 3 and Stage 4. :V
-
I was acing Kaguya on normal until I died on her last spell... by crashing into her.
-
Died 3 times to Remilia's opener.
-
EOSD Stage 4 and Stage 5.
Not the boss fights, the stages.
I always die like a retard there.
-
Finally got my first fail of Shackles. Died as Yuugi's opener cleared, trapped myself inside a shackle when I respawned, destroyed said shackle to escape (ideally, I would have only opened it and not destroyed it, but I'm not exactly thinking straight), bubble wall expands from the center of the screen and pushes me out to the edge, pellet wall advances, *dead.
-
I was playing PCB today. On Stage 2, I somehow completely forgot the purpose of a border, and immediately after gaining one, flew into a load of bullets trying to reflect them a la Giga Wing.
Maybe I shouldn't play shmups while somewhat sleep deprived. :V
-
Fact: if it wasn't for freakin' Cirno shotgun, I'd already have 1cc'ed EoSD lunatic long, long ago. But it's hard to keep your spirits up when you get ⑨'ed in about three out of every four runs.
-
Every time I practice stage 5 of UFO easy, Shou has never killed me she's so nice to me~<3
BUT! I tried easy mode with MarisaB...and I got all the way to stage 5 with 6 lives and 7 bombs.
Mid-boss Nazrin shows up and takes 3 of those lives along with 2 bombs. Then Shou comes...and for some odd reason...she hates me. I died against her with 4 bombs in stock :'(
What's wrong with me?
-
What's wrong with me?
MarisaB
-
Oi, I'm not choosing Sanae because that'll make things too easy...at least with SanaeA...
-
Aye, I feel your pain. If I have beaten UFO stage 5 with SanaeB on lunatic, why can't I beat it with MarisaB on hard? ???
Bah, I'm probably just too tired.
-
I wasted a bomb trying to get a red UFO with MarisaA and failed because it drifted off-screen right when I bombed. Gah.
-
I just noticed...I said MarisaB....when I totally meant MarisaA....Master Spark you know
-
Paused during "Makai Butterfly". Worst idea ever.
-
Game overing on UFO Stage 6 normal in stage practice right after unlocking it. I blame curvy lasers.
-
I wanted to do a second "one". The result? Embarrassing.
-
Dying six times to Reisen in IN normal, after having not died once to that point.
-
Feelin' all smug about picking up four extends without dying or bombing in the first three stages of UFO, only to get spanked down to one life once the Captain is done with me.
-
Can't remember if I posted this one here, but this was from a while back and I have yet to play this well up till Sanae again.
How did I fuck that up?
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6972

I will NEVER touch Easy Mode again. That thing literally glues my finger to the Focus button. I was playing Lunatic FULLY focused even when I didn't want to.
- Failed Byakuren's spell cards miserably. Even Magic Butterfly.
- Failed Colorful Light Dance (which ruined my Perfect Stage 3 run).
- Failed Divining Husk and everything past Kanako's 3rd non-spell.
The bright side ? ... I captured her opener.
-
Oh god, I can name a few.
-Backing into literally the first bullet in PoFV Extra (derp)
-Dying as Hell's Artificial Sun was exploding on my last life after "capturing" it. (fuck)
-Dying by running into the lasers in Kanako's first spellcard (fuck)
And last, but definitely not least, dying as QED was exploding. Then again I was really out of practice on EoSD Extra so I knew I wasn't gonna clear it. But ending it like that...:(
...Hmm. These aren't really that embarrassing imo. Other than the PoFV Extra thing.

My entire first playthrough of EoSD... is an embarrassing moment pretty much. It was my first ever Touhou game and I had never played any of the other ones, nor knew how they worked.
I accidentally thought the bomb button was the fire button, thought there was some type of health system involved, and thought grazing was bad. I also thought there were an unlimited amount of bombs and continues. I didn't know holding shift would slow you down and focus your shots until my second playthrough, and it took me about 4-5 playthroughs to realize going to the top of the screen causes the game to auto collect everything. Recording and narrating the first playthrough didn't help much either.

1/20-something on normal, here. Actual capture attempts, anyway -- if I'm thinking straight, it's really an autobomb.
Also: Backed into a frozen bullet on Perfect Freeze. Sure, it was after they'd started moving again, but still .....
-
I was auto-collecting after finishing one of Nue's spellcards and flew straight into her.
Like, I didn't even bother moving diagonally, I just flew straight up and smashed her in the face.
That was also my last life so :V
-
Oh yes, the massive amounts of bombs on normal mode's Cirno's Icicle Fall ability.
I kept bombing it, and it became routine that I never decided to actually see the pattern. It got to the point where I only bombed her for that move and I could get through both Perfect Freeze and Diamond Blizzard along with most spellcards up to the second phase of Patchouli without using any bombs or losing any lives.
Though I still haven't figured out how to stream properly above her icicles and through the yellow bullets she fires.

I thought "capturing" meant you unlocked that spellcard to use for yourself
Anyway, while fighting Kisume today on Normal, I went up to the PoC a little too late while she shot her first wave of blue bullets, and for some reason I tried to go through them unfocused :ohdear:

I thought this myself as well. I didn't know why capturing spellcards was such a huge issue until I realized how large of a point bonus it gives you if you do so. I also didn't know what misses meant, kinda still don't but I have a slight idea.
-
Most embarrassing... maybe when I played UNL Hard Mode using Yukari.
I defeated like... 5 others (Yuyuko, Remilia,...) then got perfectly defeated by Cirno :V
-
Okay, this takes the cake.
You know how in EoSD you usually get a small window after a spellcard is declared where you shotgun the boss for bonus damage, then run away before the actual bullets?
I just tried to do that to MAZE OF LOVE.

There really isn't a feeling like breezing through the level trying to collect as many items as possible ( for extra lives) and when you're charging to the PoC, then a little girl brushes your skirt, which of course has the same result as in getting masta spaaku'd.

Ruined a perfect Murasa battle by (semi-intentionally) ramming her before Dipper. For the record, I was dicking around because I stopped caring when I'd ruined the perfect stage (no death/no bomb/no UFO) at the red orb spam before the ending spiral fairies, but it just looks hilarious.
That said, this isn't that hard anymore, so I expect a proper no death/no bomb/no UFO run of the stage soon.
-
Maybe I don't have any particular embarrassing moments, but these are full of fail:
Being able to 1cc anything in Normal, yet I always get my ass handed to me in UFO... IN EASY
I don't even get to the final stage. I just don't understand how the UFO system works. How do you get lives in this game!?
Now, I sound like a noob, but watch this:
History:
EoSD Remilia's Scarlet Gensokyo (Hard) 5/5, (Lunatic) 2/6
SA Yuugi Hoshiguma's Mysterious Powers and Disrupting Spirits (Easy) 10/25, (Normal) 4/144, (Hard) 12/54, (Lunatic) 0/30
I don't understand this spell. WTF
But that's not all!
My largest fail was doing an almost PERFECT 1cc Normal in PCB, but Yuyuko's final spell killed me five times.
Now my history: 2/23
-
The UFO system works like this. Grab three UFOs of an identical color, or one of each color, and you'll summon a giant UFO. The giant UFO will absorb all items on screen until it reaches a certain capacity, at which point, it'll have a bonus effect. For a Red UFO, it'll drop 1/4 of a life; a Green UFO, a bomb; a Rainbow UFO, a color-changing UFO item; and for Blue UFOs... I forget, I think it's a color-changing UFO item, but it's not too important for survival. Additionally, destroying any giant UFO will cause it to drop another color-changing UFO item, and Red UFOs will drop another 1/4 life and Green UFOs will drop a 1/3 bomb. So you have to use the giant UFOs to your advantage to gain resources in this game.

EoSD Hard's Scarlet Gensokyo looks fine to me. Lunatic's I'm not too sure. Though, they may as well be flukes. In Statistics, we never try to make predictions based off a low sample (or count) as it is unreliable; here it's the same issue.
However, unless you're counting each and every attempt you made, then there's absolutely no way you can tell the difference between Hard and Lunatic because the History is clumped together in EoSD. Though, with such a small count, that's hardly an issue, right?
tl;dr half-null tell.
And a little fixing / editing...

I forget, I think it's a color-changing UFO item, but it's not too important for survival, it ups the multiplier to 8.0x; starts off at 4.0x. Additionally, destroying any giant UFO will cause it to drop another color-changing UFO item of the same colour as the 3rd UFO collected (important when using Rainbow UFOs), and Red UFOs will drop another 1/4 life and Green UFOs will drop a 1/3 bomb. So you have to use the giant UFOs to your advantage to gain resources in this game.

EoSD Hard's Scarlet Gensokyo looks fine to me. Lunatic's I'm not too sure.
Lunatic's difficulty really comes down to whether or not Remi decides to shit in your face with a solid wall of shit (I'm quite the elegant speaker). Regardless, if you can capture it 2/6, then you should have the general skills required to 1cc normal (provided you, oh I don't know, give it some actual time. And bombs.)
Though, they may as well be flukes. In Statistics, we never try to make predictions based off a low sample (or count) as it is unreliable; here it's the same issue.
There's also something called probability in statistics. If we were to deem both captures as flukes (say, statistically significant figures), then to get 2 in such a small sample size is so uncommon that it would hint that they may not be flukes at all. This is all up to interpretation though.
-
The f--bjw?! And Kefit in the same week?!
DID YOU PEOPLE NOT LEARN ANYTHING?!
(also good to see you guys again)
-
This is all up to interpretation though.
And thus begins the endless debate on what is accurate and what is inaccurate. So I'll just probably leave the argument at "highly unlikely but still possible". (That, and I only did medical statistics, for my first year :V)
I probably should've expanded to the other Spell Card Histories as well, to make a somewhat more solid case. But enough of that.
I just tried to copy this during a practice run without any specific information:

Obvious result occurred.
Cut: And?

I was actually quite lucky. It was New Years and I didn't really have an idea on what I was doing becuase I drank a bit.
I haven't been able to capture the card since.

So I died to Remilia's third nonspell. And no, I didn't try to poc, either...

1DNB MoF extra on "Red Frog"
AGAIN
-
Hi. I suck at EoSD Extra. :) Its an extra stage so i completely forgot what i was doing at Cranberry Trap and got killed because of it. Also lost life to Philosophers Stone. And here is the real deal: I, somehow, managed to get my self killed by Laevatain... she rammed me with the laser she did. :D
Game overed at QED before the thing even got hard. I'm not even raging. I'm laughing like a lunatic! *no pun intended*. I used to dominate EoSD EX when i was taking baby steps into Hard mode... ahh good times, good times.
1DNB MoF extra on "Red Frog"
AGAIN
Annoying crap i know. But i once lost a No-death run to her final spell. :blush: Capturing everything up to that point exept for Red Frog. Now that sucks.

I played PCB yesterday...
Normal:
Having 9 Lives and 3 Bombs by Stage 6
Losing it all...
...and with 14 seconds left in the clock for
Resurrection Butterfly 30% Reflowering
Despite having captured the card three times before out of 20.
After, I captured it in practice mode. =/
/Sakuya A
-
I died on Jack the Ludo Bile.
-
That card is downright stupid. What's so embarrassing about ? :<
-
After many failed 1CC attempts on MS I return to my first Touhou, EoSD, to take a break. I died to one of the fairies at the very beginning of stage 1 because I couldn't adjust to Marisa's changes...
-
Well, who never rammed something in EoSD stage 1 when trying the first Marisa run in a while?
Just failed to continuespam my way through hard mode Byakuren ten times in a row. Gah. The attempted 1cc itself ended in stage 6 after going very, very well until Murasa's survival... which I clipped inexplicably with two seconds remaining in a can't-get-any-safer-than-this situation, leading to a slippery slope of RAGE and HORRIBLE FAILURES which included getting IMPALED by the very first laser from Nazrin's nonspell with three bombs in stock.
-
I just played IN Hard at my skill level of a full year ago.
I should have saved the replay. I cannot believe how bad that was. I game overed at Boss Marisa's first noncard. Which I died to twice. I also died twice to The Legend of Gensokyo.
-

However, the different is over three years of practice versus barely three months of practice.

No wonder the comments section looked weird.

Huh. I always thought that Marisa's first appearance in IN 4B was during a cutscene and that touching her wouldn't cause instant death due to cutscene immunity.
I know now that this is not the case.

"Always play in a well-lit room". I will never, ever break this guideline again.
-
So, I tried PCB for my first time today, thinking the skills I learned from 1ccing EOSD will be more than enough to get me through.
"Alright, this has been pretty easy so far. Now I just have to fight Youmu! Heh, this fight isn't too hard, 1ccing this later on is going to be ea- What just killed me!? Alright... well, let's just i- I DIED AGAIN! What could that possib- SON OF A GUN THERE ARE BULLETS COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN!"
Took me... quite a while to realize that, what with the bullets disappearing before I could get a glance off of them. Then 30% Resurrection Butterfly utterly owned me like 5 times. 1ccing this isn't going to be as quick as I originally believed.
-
How about this one? This morning i managed to lose all but one life against Youmu on PCB Lunatic. I died 6 times on her final card because i tried to time it out.
At least i got a near-perfect Alice battle beforehand to cheer me up a bit.

Meh, it's not too hard to read.
Just take a picture of Nue when she has just fired a ring of bullets and bolt it to the other side of the screen and you should have enough time to dodge everything up there.

SA: Utsuho
So, I've not yet captured Subterranean Sun yet. The thing is...I ALWAYS down Okuu on this run no bombs, no lives lost, but at the end with the slowdown I get on the game when Okuu is exploding, I somehow always manage to maneuver into one of the shots. I can do fine when normally playing the card, its just while she is exploding and the slowdown pops up that fail happens.
-
One real-life one.
One of the booths in the dealers' room at Otakon had Mountain of Faith available to play. There was respectable crowd that had gathered, watching other people play. When I asked to have a turn, I did okay until I got to Aya. I died with a second left in her time-out spell card in the only instance I can think of that I played a game with an audience.

That's actually kind of hilarious, although I suspect it cuts your score in half too.

I've known that from the beginning, actually. Still can't beat it.
And I suppose me sucking it up on a random UFO stage 5 run so badly I escape with only one life left is pretty embarrassing.

As I get the "YOU ARE SUPER PLAYER!" screen in DS, I suddenly realize there's a leg coming out of Aya's upper knee. I always thought it looked completely abnormal because it's just a flesh blob that doesn't go anywhere and I only just realized there's actually the rest of the leg there in the picture, after full clearing the game
excuse me while I smash my face into the monitor several times

I expected more than "I moved into a bullet".

Importing from when I was remaking this thread in the other site:
DS, Nue's "Red Mantle, Blue Mantle" (yes I know the wiki says cloak, I like mantle better). I don't die from the fast moving bullets. No. I die from the slow moving knife wave as I move in.

Went to play PCB, clipped everything that could possibly have been clipped, used 9 bombs during the entire run, died five times to various incarnations of Youmu and game over'd via dying to Repository of Hirokawa twice. Jeeeesus Christ. =_=

This makes my 10-death, 14-bomb SakuyaB 1cc seem not quite so bad....
*still cries at the thought of having wasted those 26 bombs*
-
Everytime I play the game.
Last ones that I remember...well, trying to make Youmu`s first cross danmaku shoot backwards works 90% of the time for me...10% of the time I end up like this:
(http://critz.w.interii.pl/ohshit.PNG)
Needless to say, cue autobomb. Also, in IN I tend to fail on Reisen`s Visionary Tuning..."no worries, she`s gonna change the pattern any second, no need to bom- *death, last word bomb missed*...FFFFUUUUUUU..."
Of course, I feel like irredeemable noob every single time I miss the last word bomb window in IN.
But my most failtastic error was in EoSD Stage 2 Normal miniboss. Died on her kunai waves while trying to get close to her to kill her before the time limit for no actual reason. Cue headdesk. THIS. SHOULD. NEVER. HAPPEN. EVER!
-
I've tried getting Youmu to aim backwards in Stage 6 once. It was enough to convince me to never do it again. It's a viable strategy in Stage 5, but I think ZUN realized this and decided to trick you in Stage 6 so it really screws you up if you try it there. I find it a lot easier to try to tackle it directly than to try to misdirect it.
-
Trying to redirect Youmu is impossible for me. I don't know how you guys do it.
I don't know if I should even bother attempting it again since I usually lose no lives during those waves.
-

It gets easier to do when you go up in difficulty. It's easiest on lunatic.
This is because Youmu's rate of fire stays the same, but the bullets go faster away, giving you more time to misdirect the next wave.
It's still doable but risky on hard, I don't really recommend doing it on normal and easy except for the first wave.

Which Stage is the Orin Tackle most likly to happen in? I'm still trying to rip Stage 1 Hard and trying to survive Stage 2 Hard long enough to get past Parsee Midboss Card which, due to the lack of an English patch, I have dubbed "Moon Rune Sign -Chaser Moon Runes-" until I know it's real name.
On the note of embarassing moments, Reimu has be killed by a bucket landing on her head 3 times and 1 death from Reimu dodging bullets right into a giant f***ing rock... FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU.jpg

- The "Orin Tackle" would be Stage 5, right after her midboss spellcard (commonly called the "Catwalk"). Basically what happens is after the attack ends, people rush up to the POC to collect the items, but end up getting smashed by Orin as they head back down (this usually only happens when she starts in the center).
- Yeah, Parsee's midboss spellcard is called "Envy 'Green-Eyed Invisible Monster'". That's just me being nitpicky. :V
- I'm guessing Kisume's landing on you as you head to the POC? I would suggest streaming the fairies down from the POC if you're that concerned about collecting items (specifically Power items, which is understandable).

Stay at the very bottom. Everything of hers can be dodged there, so no need to go up at all.

True, it's just in other games the very bottom is limited in how well you can dodge.

Y'know, you'd think after running through Mokou's boss fight ten times, even if I die about four spellcards in, I'd be able to capture Flaw of Forgiving Shrine at least once. I've probably captured every single one of Mokou's cards up to Hollow Giant [Woo], but never Flaw of Forgiving Shrine! >:V
-
No-vert works all the time for that one. (Probably a bit easier to go up a little bit first.)
-
Not to mention there's enough space in between each amulet that all characters can safely hide in them, trivializing that entire wave of amulets.
-
And that's why it's embarassing: I know that so well, yet I still manage to screw it up regularly.

I have a very dark secret. Which isn't really a secret. Here it is:
I suck at Nitori's 2nd spellcard. I just had a perfect Nitori battle but i died three times to the 2nd card. And that is supposed to be easy. Is this really how hard i fail whenever glowing bullets are being used? :(
PS: I have a better caprate at Complete Clarification than at Nitori's 2nd card. I don't even remember the cards name!)

Gensokyo.org says it's Practice Stage 3, but it wasn't.

PCB Sakuya B Normal Stage 3. I'm still not exactly sure what was going on when playing, all I remember were my thoughts. It was right after Alice drops the extra life. heres what went through my head "Oh sweet, I forgot she dropped that! Ok get to the PoC...crud fairies! Ok get back down and grab the--wait...whered the extra life go....crud i missed the drop! " At the time I still had 2 lives and 3 bombs (this was the first time I had used Sakuya B and was trying to get used to the controls) but it was still a fail run for me and I rage quit. >.> Can a normal level player even do that?
-
So I tried doing a PCB Lunatic run for the first time in, damn, like 6 or 7 months? Whatever, it's been a pretty long time.
If you'd like a summary of exactly how bad it was, let me just say this: My third and second to last deaths were on Youmu's penultimate card. The first of those deaths was because I stayed at the bottom of the screen.
Apparently I can still micromem-dodge all of Alice's static patterns like they're nothing though. >_>

I just lost 6 perfect runs against Marisa.
1 at Event Horizon
2 at Double Spark
and 3 at Starlight Typhoon.

But damn... three mistakes... in a row... at Starlight Typhoon? I must be cursed!

This happens so often...
I'm playing IN, ON EASY, and for some reason I always run into the VERY FIRST BULLET THAT COMES ON THE FIELD... BACKWARDS. I'm coming down from item grab and I back right into the very first bullet fired in the stage.

You manage to beat Stage 1 without any enemy firing a bullet? Or do you use the Magic Team? I'm pretty sure you need Full Power or to be using Magic Team in order to use the Auto-collection line.

I was bored one day, getting mad at UFO Normal (dammit Shou!) So I decided to play UFO Easy. 1ccd it. I was like holy hell so I went to play UFO Normal again and Got owned by Nazrin. Noooo Sanae why??!!
-
Beat UFO easy with a good life count of 4 and bomb count of 4. Yet, with Normal, I can barely make it to stage 4 with more than one life.
Now see, it might just be because of Unzan's ridiculously huge brofists, but that never helps with the next stage, which ends up being more of a clusterf**k than Murasa will ever be.
-
OK, I just used a continue in UFO Easy at Nazrin.
I failed at stage 1 easy. Shit.
I'm not even sure what to say about that. I've been trying to beat UFO easy pretty much since it came out. Never been successful, but I've always at least gotten to Kogasa before continuing. If I'm lucky, I might even see Murasa before I am crushed by anchors. But I've never lost to Nazrin before today.

I seriously have to be an incredibly slow learner at this for the amount of time and effort I put into it. I've logged something like 50 IN lunatic stage 3 practice runs in the last 3 days and am only 'slightly' better than I was when I started. I think I still average something like 2 deaths and 4 death bombs per run, which is way to much resource usage if I want to try and 1cc this.
First Pyramid 11/49
Epemerality 137 13/49
General Headquarters Crisis 16/49
Three Treasures - Country 25/49
Legend of Gensokyo 10/49
Gods' Realm 3/30
(This isn't even counting 20-30 spell practice attempts on some of these)
I suppose, on the bright side, General Headquarters Crisis has gone from 'consistently dying two seconds in' to 'can capture more than half the time'. Other cards... not so much improved. Hell, I probably still run into something on her non-spells at least a third of the time >.<
Also, is it just me or is the jump from hard to lunatic in IN rather large? After a bunch of lunatic runs, I did one stage 3 hard run for a change of pace and perfected it >.>
-
Isn't the Hard-Lunatic jump usually fairly large? Although IN seems to have a nice even spread between difficulty levels.
-
So I figure I'll do IN Easy and clean up all these sub-1 billion scores that I have. Start with Magic Team:
1. Perfect up to Midboss!Reimu. So far, so good.
2. Die on Fantasy Seal -Spread-. Wasted 7 bombs.
3. Forgot all about Duplex Barrier. Still capture it, somehow.
4. Die on Fantasy Seal -Concentrate-. Enter Stage 5 4/3.
5. Die to the first fairy in stage 5. This might be starting to go downhill ....
6. Die to Tewi's second attack (yeah, the easy one .... not that either are particularly hard -.-)
7. Die to Reisen's opener. Somehow manage to capture everything else. Start stage 6 3/1.
8. Miraculously, don't die to the stage and capture Eirin.
9. Proceed to fail Kaguya's first nine cards. The only reason I didn't fail Morning Mist is that I ran out of time before I could face it. -.-
Total bombs used: Four. Needless to say, I didn't bother attempting with any other teams .....
-
Tried an EoSD no focus Normal run.
Wasn't trying very hard because I had to go to class very soon anyway.
Died on Perfect Freeze.
Kill me now.
-
Aside from Icicle Fall, her attacks (including shotgun noncard and Perfect Freeze) are actually kind of tough for an Easy player.
This whole "baka" meme seems to exist for no other reason other than to give EoSD newbies a hard time when you think about it. Meiling is also considered a joke character but she's kicked my ass more times than any other stage 3 boss, that's for sure.
-
I'm really not in a position to give fair estimation of that but there is really nothing in EoSD Easy that's any hard at all compared to PCB Easy for example.
-
Or UFO Easy. :V

UFO is such a fitting acronym. :V
YOU, EFFING! Ohhhhhhh...

Clearing Double Spoiler only to have pc go to shit and have to format without backing up the score.dat fie (didnt know where it was) and now having to clear everything again since i cant seem to find anyone who can share theirs :(
-
Wow, this is a lot of stories about embarrassing moment (new here on this site). This is the most embarrassing moment I had lately though I'm not sure this was posted already due to my inability to read through entire 33 pages :(
I recently started playing IN four days ago as Reimu without knowing the "time/final card" system, and after beating Wriggle on normal stage 1 with having >2500 time points, moved unknowingly into the middle of the screen thinking it was over only to collide to respawned Wriggle.
I got the bad ending later due to too many continues and was fighting Wriggle on the stage 1 again, and to my surprise found myself struggling against her attack, so I try to bomb to buy some time to recollect myself. Only that I didn't know I was facing her final spell card at that time, so when nothing happened I started pressing X button repeatedly in panic, losing my concentration as I turned my eyes to look at right side of the game to check if I had run out of the bombs, and getting bullet right in my face :/
Then I wiki'd IN and finally realized what was going on. Honestly, I still don't know most of the Touhou game's mechanics such as condition for getting 1 bonus life with BRAG BRAG BRAG BRAG effect sound and such (which by itself is another embarrassment ;) )
-
In early cases (meaning pre-PoFV), you get extra lives through collecting the Point items (the blue ones); how many is different in each game, and in PCB and IN, you can see how many for the next life on the sidebar. Particular enemies (usually Stage 3 midboss) also drop 1ups.
PoFV is score based; when you reach a certain score (which is really, really high), you get an extra life.
I'm not sure on MoF.
SA and UFO have you collecting Life Pieces, hollow stars that work like the Pieces of Heart in the Legend of Zelda series. You'll get them through boss drops (surviving an attack nets one piece) or in UFO, through the destruction and collection of Red UFOs.
-
In MoF, extra lives are given at fixed scores (20, 40, 80, and 150 million, specifically), similar to EoSD.
(Also, in EoSD-MoF you get extra life items dropped after the midbosses of stage 3 and 5.)
-
Benefit! Thanks for the information. Now to go to play more Touhou using this newfound knowledge and create hundreds of more embarassing moments ;;

Oh no, that was so fucking bad i can't even explain how bad it was... died 6 times during a VoWG Timeout. 3 deaths is embarassing. 6 deaths is... :fail:
-
It`s like EoSD wants me to snap...Done Icicle Fall Normal perfectly, then fucked up Perfect Freeze. Is there an easy way to dodge Icicle Fall Normal? Hell, I more or less perfected Stage 6, but Patchy and Sakuya keep me from 1cc normal since I can remember...Even Non-Directional Laser killed me today, twice...

You can actually safespot it like the easy mode version, you just need to move to the sides to dodge the yellow bullets.

I'm really not in a position to give fair estimation of that but there is really nothing in EoSD Easy that's any hard at all compared to PCB Easy for example.
Sakuya tells you to GTFO and you agree to her terms and conditions
However, Yuyuko gives you a nasty surprise at the end of the fight even in PCB Easy.

Ressurection Butterfly has a tactic that makes it very easy in general. The only problem is that, due to faster expansion of the red butterflies, it doesn't work on lunatic. :V
Also on topic:
Attempting the EoSD-with-your-face-challange, I died three times to boss!Meiling's opener on easy. :3

This whole "baka" meme seems to exist for no other reason other than to give EoSD newbies a hard time when you think about it.
It's a ZUNjoke from PoFV's manual actually.

While were on the topic of EoSD....
Stage 2, pre-Cirno, when the blue "bird" things and flying down the screen and the fairies pop out in rows, I was at the POC and I got nicked in the side my a "bird" that the Laser didn't catch
And I also backed up into a blue crystal in Clock Corpse

Died to Stage 4 Mid-Boss!Nue on Hard because I got
too aggressive forgot the route to reach the PoC. Well, can't blame me for not really playing in over a month, right? :V

Which probably got linked back to EoSD by means of "Icicle Fall". Doesn't really matter where it originates from; it will still have an effect on EoSD in this way. And poor, poor Cirno :<

Just now I died 4 times on China!
4!
One on Rainbow Wind Chime thanks to a ghetto keyboard
and THREE times on Colourful Wind!
When just earlier I was about to beat Remilia's last spell!

wait what
don't tell me you can't take resurrection butterfly halfway up the screen and miss the red butterflies in lunatic
:(
-
I thought it was due to the double waves and not the faster expansion.
And for Normal and Hard, I just try to get through before they even expand.
-
i am going through all the non pc-98 games beating extra but i beat flandre on the first try but on pcb the prism river with a trumpet murders me with curvy lasers
ive attempted 6 times now and her curvy lasers mess me up every time
-
Here's my recent one:
I was attempting to beat Flandre again at EoSD extra, and when she got to maze of love. T_T I ran right up to her before the card started and I died. :P Then I stayed in one place and died, and I moved to far to the left then died again.
Not a good time at all. ::)
-

Exactly.
Well, I can't, at least. If it is possible, then it takes huge amounts of skill on lunatic, which makes the tactic moot.

I just failed Ten Evil Stars.
Shoot me now.

I was practicing with Okuu just now. Reached Mega Flare and died extensively. As the card ended, i had three lives left. The rest of the run was pretty poor too despite capturing her 1st card. I think i have been struck with Touhou Fatigue - stuff that happens when you play Touhou for too much time in one sitting.
Funen - you are not the one to be shot. I tried to shotgun Okuu in Ten Evil Stars. Before the spellcard started i put myself in front of her because i forgot that it wasn't Hells Tokamak (I don't even think ReimuA has shotgunning capabilities, just a habit) so i was the one shotgunned. :]
Too bad that was an otherwise perfect run. :(
-
That...was better than I thought.
Tried Phantasm for the first time since I beat it. Over a year, then.
Game overed on BoLaD. Had I not died three times with four or more bombs (twice on BoHaY), I could've cleared it easy.
-
Most embarrassing moment huh, mine was the first time I played SA, that game is absolutely the hardest game I've played!
-
I don't understand the rant with Animism.
Only reason I can find to dislike it is the horrible weapons selection.
Difficulty only kicks up on stages four and five and stage six is somewhat easier.

I actually find stage three harder than every other stage except stage six and the extra stage.
Edit: This is on normal BTW.

There is only one reason why I hate Stage 3, and one alone.
FOUR DEVAS ARCANUM!
KNOCK OUT IN THREE STEPS!
...1!
...2!
...3!

Fitting for me to round off the thread:
I am so ungodly terribad at Utusho.
How terribad?
I game overed on a Hard Practice run.
