A.K.A. Touhou Accomplishments VII
Previous Thread (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=4546.0). These seem to be slowing down these days. I wonder why? kidding
Quoting for new thread:
This is a normal run:
(http://i60.servimg.com/u/f60/12/80/32/92/th/untitl45.jpg) (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=395&u=12803292)
And I'm still playing to prove a point. I even bombed the easy stuff, meaning that there should be spare bombs.
EDIT: Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7484)
And:
(http://i60.servimg.com/u/f60/12/80/32/92/th/untitl46.jpg) (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=396&u=12803292)
EDIT: Obligatory post your 1cc List people? Go for it. You all know mine by now.
-
I made my first safespot in Izuna Gongen lol
-
eosd mof sa ufo hard
pcb in lunatic
yeah
-
I found a very nice safe spot (that's random each time) in Imperishable Shooting where you can abuse to make the spell a hell and a half easier.
... Unless someone discovered it before me...
-
What safespot? I know about the one where you stay in the middle for 2 of the waves that i mess up on, but I don't know any others.
And I didn't do much of anything in the last topic. Kind of disappointed that I still haven't gotten EoSD Hard, PCB Hard, or IN Lunatic 1ccs.
SoEW Normal(all shots), PoDD Normal(Mima), MS Normal(Mima), EoSD Normal(all), PCB Normal(all but ReimuA and MarisaB), PoFV Normal(Aya), UFO Normal(MarisA, SanaeA, SanaeB)
LLS Hard(MarisaB), IN Hard(Border Team)
MoF Lunatic(ReimuB, MarisaB, MarisaC), SA Lunatic(ReimuC)
LLS Extra(MarisA), MS Extra, EoSD Extra(MarisA), PCB Extra(all I have it for, NF ReimuB), PCB Phantasm(Both Sakuyas, ReimuB NF), IN Extra(All teams, except Scarlet, Remilia, Yuyuko NF), PoFV Extra(Komachi, Shikieki), MoF Extra(ReimuB, MarisaB, MarisaC No Deaths), SA Extra(ReimuA), UFO Extra(MarisA)
Goals for this topic: PoDD Hard, LLS Lunatic, EoSD Hard, PCB Hard, IN Lunatic, PoFV Lunatic. SoEW Lunatic and UFO Hard would be nice, but I'm not gonna try them most likely.
-
What safespot? I know about the one where you stay in the middle for 2 of the waves that i mess up on, but I don't know any others.
... 5th and 6th waves, there's a safespot somewhere around the center. I love it. You don't get the graze by using the safespot, though.
EDIT: List. I don't have much here, but I beat Touhou 7, 8, and 12 on Lunatic. I also beat all the Window series' Extras, and I am working on Touhou 7's Phantasm.
-
Lists, eh?
Lunatic 1cc: HRtP, SoEW, PoDD, LLS, MS, EoSD, PCB, IaMP, IN, PoFV, MoF, SWR, UNL
Hard 1cc: SA
can go die in a fire: UFO
all extra stages cleared
all StB scenes cleared
- HRtP no bombs lunatic 1cc (Jigoku route)
- PCB extra no vertical (SakuyaB)
- PoFV no vertical lunatic 1cc (Reimu)
- beaten a few including Komachi and Shikieiki in PoFV lunatic match mode (Reimu)
Still underachieving at anything that's not one of the games nobody cares about, if you ask me.
-

Mmm, a list...
Extra: PCB, IN
Hard: IN
Normal: LLS, EoSD, PCB, IaMP, IN, MoF, SWR, SA, UFO, UNL
Working on Phantasm right now. Boundary of Humans and Youkai D:
-
All Lunatics 1cc'd minus HRtP, PoDD and the fighting games; all StB scenes cleared; all spell cards captured on every difficulty; all Extras beaten no focus; EoSD Extra, PCB Extra and Phantasm and SA Extra perfected. Also, this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYJHwWgMgaU) and this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2KxtV4hq3s) (which I still consider my most difficult to complete/ridiculous/stupid accomplishment).
-
My list:
Everything.
In every game.
With every shot type.
With every challenge.
Pacifist.
:dragonforce:
Okay not really. :(
To put it simply, every official game beaten on lunatic, every Windows stage (I'd do PC-98 if there were some kind of stage practice) beaten no deaths on lunatic, various challenges here and there, perfect Yuyuko fight, etc. etc.
Oh, and all spell cards captured. That's one that may need specifying. :S
---
Actually, I just remembered I made a comprehensive listing of all my accomplishments a month or so ago. In the event anyone really wants it, I'll stash it here:
Highly Responsive to Prayers: Lunatic 1cc both routes, all bosses perfected on lunatic

repost

SoEW Normal with ReimuC
PoDD Normal with all characters, PoDD Hard with Reimu, Marisa, and Yumemi, PoDD Lunatic with Yumemi
LLS Normal with Reimu... B, I believe? Hard with ReimuB as well.
MS Normal with Meeeeeeeeeeema.
EoSD Normal with both Raymoos
PCB Normal with both Raymoos, both Sakuyas
- PCB Extra with SakuyaB
IaMP Normal with all characters, Hard with Sakuya and Patchy, Lunatic with Patchy (SAKUYAAAAAAAAAAAA ;_;)

I haven't touched Touhou even once since then so nothing has changed :V
-
1cced all one-player shmups on Lunatic except SoEW and UFO, as well as Shuusou Gyoku (since people often consider it a 'Touhou' game). No-bombed PCB Lunatic and got about half a healhbar away from doing the same with EoSD. Perfected some individual stages here and there. Not really spending all that much time with Touhou games nowadays, but when I do, I'm usually just working on increasing my scores in TH6-8. =/
-
Too much to bother typing it all.
Every lunatic 1cc'd with multiple shottypes.
Every spellcard captured.
Perfects and pacifists all around, no focus, no bombs 1cc, all that good stuff.
-
Pacifist
Speaking of which, someone timed out every spell card in IN. (http://doujinstg.cn/bbs/read.php?tid=2082)
-
I am much better than all of you despite having played these games for less than a year hahahahahahahahahaahahaha
Fixed :V
Ok being serious now
-All Windows games 1cc'd on Normal (MoF was no-vertical)
-All Windows Extra stages cleared (including 1DNB EoSD Extra)
-Very close to no-vertical SA Hard 1cc
-All Last Words captured
-PCB Extra no-focus clear
-PCB Stage 3 Lunatic perfect clear (with MarisaA, no less!)
-I once died six times on Flying Fantastica normal
-
Everything (save HRtP and IaMP) 1cced on at least Hard. All Extras cleared, many with all shot types.
Then, the ones that are not Hard 1ccs are...
IaMP Normal 1cc
SWR(Reimu) Lunatic 1cc
UNL(Cirno) Lunatic 1cc
PoFV Lunatic(Aya) 1cc and all 16 shot types on Hard
LLS Lunatic 1cc with ReimuB
StB Extra unlocked
Veryvery nearly EoSD and IN Lunatic 1ccs, reaching the final spellcard... D:
-
Oh, I've a few to post. Not as auspicious as some of the company already heard from, but still, maybe it'll get me off the IN-Extra kick I've been on.
EoSD: 1cc Lunatic Marisa B, 1cc hard with everyone, 1lc Normal with MarisaA.
Successively capped Scarlet Meister and Scarlet Gensokyo on Lunatic. Scarlet Gensokyo - Lunatic on any Rank above 0 is awe-inspiring.
Flandre defeated (1 death).
PCB: 1-death Ran (Marisa A, Reimu B), 1-death Yukari (Reimu B).
Very close to a 1cc of Hard with both Reimu B and Marisa A.
1-death clears of Normal with Reimu B and Marisa A.
Can't stand any of the other shot types. Literally: Can. Not. Tolerate.
IN: 1cc Hard with Reimu, Border Team, Magic Team, Marisa, Remilia, Netherworld team, Youmu, Yuyuko.
1lc Normal: Magic Team, Marisa Solo.
Extra: Creeping ever closer to two billion with Magic Team (I'm at something like 1.95B on an 11-card, 1-death run. I'll post to the high-score board at 2B, which is just going to take getting to 12, honestly. I wish I were just a tiny bit more consistent!).
Scary: I'm doing this while being totally incapable of clearing Imperishable Shooting, which I am aware is costing me close to 200M right there.
MoF: 1cc Lunatic MarisaBugged
1cc Hard Reimu B, Reimu C, Marisa B, Marisa C
1cc Normal: everyone
Extra: Marisa Bugged only.
Also, 1cc'd Normal on my very first playthrough, ever - with Reimu B.
SA: 1cc Normal all characters. 1-death clear with Alice and Suika.
1cc Hard Suika, Alice, Nitori
Extra: Suika, Yukari, Alice, Nitori
UFO:
Don't really like this one. Just got the Normal 1ccs with everyone, and Extra cleared with Marisa A and Reimu B (needle Reimu...). 9 attempts to clear the stage and Nue. (Compare to a couple hundred for my first clear of Ran about a year ago...)
-
Nothing I say applies to UFO or PC-98 because layl
EoSD no focus Lunatic 1cc (wow this is old).
MoF no bombs 23 card capture Lunatic 1cc (probably my best accomplishment?).
SA no bombs Lunatic 1cc.
No bomb+no death run on all Extra stages (except maybe Phantasm cause I last played that in like 2006).
VoWG Lunatic no bomb+no death time-out...twice.
Perfect SA stage five Lunatic without midboss or border cheese.
Random silly things with spellcards in IN like timing out Asteroid Belt Lunatic no focus with Marisa and Rising World Lunatic no focus no vert capture.
Probably some other stuff.
Man all the stuff on this list is old. Maybe I'll make a comeback if I get bored enough.
-
Almost captured Treytest Grezure while Drubnk (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7495).
tHRtP: Normal 1cc, Jigoku.
SoEW: Lunatic 1cc, Extra Clear, die in a fire
PoDD: Hard 1cc
LLS: Lunatic 1cc
MS: Lunatic 1cc
EoSD: Hard 1cc
PCB: Lunatic 1cc
IaMP: Normal 1cc
IN: Hard 1cc
PoFV: Lunatic 1cc
MoF: Lunatic 1cc
SWR: Normal 1cc
SA: Hard 1cc
UFO: Normal 1cc, see SoEW
UNL: Normal 1cc
All Extras cleared.
SHUUSO GYOKU EXTRA CLEAR
...half the Lunatics down. The (excepting tHRtP, which I haven't 1cc'd, and MS, which I have) easy ones.
-
Man all the stuff on this list is old. Maybe I'll make a comeback if I get bored enough.
I heard that Gengetu's final timeout phase can be savestated now. ;)
On a serious note, have you tried EoSD no-bombs much? You would probably be capable of it at this point.
-

This is a truly terrible idea and you know it.

Gengetu stuff is PC-98 but I might try it for shits and giggles at some point.
I've made it to Scarlet Gensokyo a few times with EoSD no bombs, probably could have pulled it off with a bit more effort but I lost interest shortly afterward. Interestingly enough, I never could decide on a best shot type for the challenge.
This is a truly terrible idea and you know it.
You have no idea just how right you are.

Lunatic : PCB, IN (uhh ... close, really damn close), PoFV, MoF.
Hard : EoSD, PCB, IN, MoF, SA.
Normal : Everything.
Easy : EH ?
Extra : Everything.
Phantasm : Twice.
Captured everything but Killing Doll, Scarlet Gensokyo, Reflowering, Hourai Jewel, Imperishable Shooting, PWG, DBDB, PSM, King Kraken Strike, RTG and Vajra.
Still have a long way to go.
-
blah blah obligatory 1cc list:
EoSD: Lunatic, Extra
PCB: Lunatic, NF Extra, NF Phantasm
IN: Lunatic, NF Extra
StB: 62 Scenes or something I dunno
MoF: Lunatic, NF Extra
SA: Lunatic, NF Extra (fuck you crash bug for not letting me save the replay)
UFO: Hard, Extra
@above: How have you captured Scarlet Meister, but not RTG or Hourai Jewel or Imperishable Shooting or...what?!
-
I guess I'll post my 1cc list...
LLS: Normal
EoSD: Normal
PCB: Normal, Extra
IN: Normal, Extra
PoFV: Normal (with Medicine)
MoF: Normal, Extra
SWR: Normal
Hisoutensoku: Normal
...8(
My achievements are very low D:

Bah, Kefit's still hating on PC-98? All the cool players have embraced it at this point. :P

I'm pretty sure that I'm one of the definitions of "cool player."

I'm pretty sure that I'm one of the definitions of "cool player."
"Too cool for PC-98" is so early 2009.

You aren't allowed to be part of the Honorary Lunatic Cool Kids Club unless you've 1cced UFO Lunatic. Sorry, it's the law. ::)

1cc EoSD Lunatic
1cc PCB Lunatic
1cc IN Lunatic
everything else on hard, finished all extras+phantasm
except pofv which i just don't play at all
-
You aren't allowed to be part of the Honorary Lunatic Cool Kids Club unless you've 1cced UFO Lunatic. Sorry, it's the law. ::)
That's fine, I've got plenty of other things to do. For instance, I literally haven't played anything in IN except the Extra stage in over a year so I think I will go do a Lunatic 1cc.
k done
(http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/7851/inclear.jpg)
I need to get better at fighting that counterbomb reflex; 1-2 of my deaths are suicides after counterbombing to make up for the bomb. Also I need to relearn stage three, dying three times AND counterbombing twice on it (five total misses!) is completely inexcusable.
-
Well, considering that you haven't actually played in a while... I reckon it's quite excusable.
On Topic: Almost got "Catwalk" No Focus. Hit a bullet on the last ring (of all the rings it just had to be that one...) of the second iteration. I can do the entire stage No Focus pretty well overall (now), so I guess I'll give a full run another try tomorrow or something. My only complaint at this point is... I can't see my hitbox in the flares. Meaning that my History for "Ten Evil Stars" will drop further down.
You aren't allowed to be part of the Honorary Lunatic Cool Kids Club unless you've 1cced UFO Lunatic. Sorry, it's the law. ::)
:V
-
HrtP: Never won. Deleted it after playing it once.
SoEW: Normal 1cc. - Game sucks too.
PoDD - Never played. - Don't like the genre.
LLS: Lunatic + Extra Clear.
MS: Hard + Extra Clear.
EoSD: Hard + Extra Clear (Lunatic is should have been done ages ago...)
PCB: Lunatic + Extra/Phantasm Clear.
IN: Lunatic + Extra Clear
PoFV: Hard Clear - Don't like the genre but it had the benefit of being Windows.
MoF: Lunatic + Extra Clear
SA: Lunatic + Extra Clear
UFO: Hard + Extra Clear (A lunatic run will probably never happen here. Takes liking the game unless its loleasy LLS.)
I have also done several perfect boss runs and spellcard timeouts - a few with additional challenges.
Good Omen Lunatic timeout as well though with massive luck involved. - Maybe ZUN ought to learn to design his spellcards to work properly then. It wasn't my own playing that was luck-based but more the behaviour of the spell.
You aren't allowed to be part of the Honorary Lunatic Cool Kids Club unless you've 1cced UFO Lunatic. Sorry, it's the law. ::)
And by doing so, you also sell your soul to ZUN. Bad idea.

Captured 2 scenes in StB. 8-5 and 8-6. I really need to play this game more. 8-5 was tough at the final two shots but still pretty fun. 8-6 was pretty easy but very beautiful.

Lotus Land Story and Mystic Square are fine. The other PC98 games are BS. Not sure how much BS compared to EoSD and UFO, as well as sometimes PCB, but they're BS.
-
Kefit, yo SO outta style yo yo! 8)
:P
Anyway, I'm still in my Ace Attorney Investigations/Descent craze, but last night I randomly played EoSD stage 5 to keep my skillz up and I one death one bombed Sakuya (damn opener and Killing Doll. :() Nothing I haven't done before, but not bad. I still wonder if I'll ever get as close to perfecting Remilia as that one time though...

Lunatic "Post Momiji Bullshit" Capture (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=411-vp-G9GU)
That "dodge" on the last blue wave was complete luck. I wasn't even looking at my character at the time! :V
-
Okay, it's finished! Done! Perfect run for every stage in PCB. Didn't bother saving stage one, though.
Actually, aside from a personal score setting I didn't bother playing it at all. Wait, that one involved bombs.
There was a perfect run here and there, but I didn't think about going all the way until the chance perfect stage four run last December. Also when I started checking up on Lunatic a little more instead of going through the same incorrect motions like bombing the stage four death fairy for the entire first half of my Lunatic experience, or never learning Yuyuko's third noncard. After that it became a small side effort slowly building.

edit: no focus, no vertical "Fantasy Seal -Dark-" lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7508), with minor improvements over the previous method despite sort of messing up this particular attempt. Maybe it's even doable with non-homing.

Broken much?

EoSD Lunatic No Bombs Crappy Attempt (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7514), wherein I perfect ReimuB!Patchy. From the sound cues, that would be Max Rank where it matters.

Feeling the sudden urge for punishment, I started a cold PCB lunatic run with Sakuya B.

-
Perfect Keine Lunatic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzJxs_AoQ7g)
Aside from 1st spellcard, pretty much no trouble at all.
-
Lasted until 69 seconds left during a VoWG Hard time-out without dying. I was beginning to fear I had lost my ability to read the gaps after not playing for a few days (grad school interviews elsewhere in the country), but this run gave me hope (despite dying 6 times total).
-
MoF Extra at 75 fps. I clipped Mishaguji-sama as the thing was exploding, blargh.
-
Phew. Finally captured 8-7. Hardest scene in the game up to that point by far. The game uses an odd system for counting tries though. Apparantly it counts the amounts of photos taken rather than tries. Well my count for this was a whopping 560 tries. That's more than double the amount of tries i have spent on any other scene up till that point except for 8-5 but that was at least fun to do.
That spell sucked. I almost lost patience but persistence got me through. Sometimes, i would even get rammed by bullets that was off-screen. As in, a bullet coming up from below the screen that couldn't be predicted to be there. That sucks.
Well, this shouldn't turn into a rant. I capped it and i'm happy to have done it. Now i don't ever want to see it again.
-
As practice for Double Spoiler, I've been playing StB a lot more. Captured a few EX-Stage cards, hooray!
Mokou's EX-6 is retarded btw.
-
MoF Lunatic clear! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7529)
My first Lunatic clear, hooray! Obviously not a 1cc, but hey, one step at a time.
Influenced by my recent attempts at timing out VoWG on Hard (for gap-reading practice), I felt like (finally) unlocking the Lunatic version. I know MoF is prone to bomb-spam, but I can't say I expected to clear it this quickly (I remember it took me 4-6 hours or so to clear Stage 6 Hard alone). It'll be a while before I get used to VoWG Lunatic's greater speed, of course, but I'm still really excited that I got this.
EDIT: VoWG Lunatic no-deaths/2-bombs. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7533) (current history: 0/20)
Psuedo-lucky dodges galore, seriously (and obviously not as good as a real capture). I suppose I could have been more "in the zone" while playing, but looking at it again, I almost have trouble seeing how I pulled this off. Probably because I'm not used to regularly performing dodges at this level, like the real pros do.
-
SA No Bomb 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7534)
More forgiving than the MoF No Bomb 1cc I did before (MoF allows 8 deaths, while in this run I die 10 times, although up to 12 deaths are possible if you manage to survive every mid/boss attack for life fragments), although I still scrape by with no extra lives in stock. Most deaths I blame on a combination of lack of practice and the fact that it's 2 am as I do this (mostly the latter).
Summary of Fail:
Stage 1:
Yamame's opener (really didn't feel like restarting to fix this)
Stage 3:
pre-midboss lasers (tired, forgot how to shoot things down to minimize lasers and maximize dodging room)
Stage 4:
after the green amulet spam (mistimed the streaming, found myself off-center and mostly at the mercy of lasers)
Flying Insect's Nest
Border of Wave and Particle (I'm tired...)
Stage 5:
midboss opener
NOT Catwalk (between this and capturing Peerless during my MoF run, what's with me capturing the stupidest shit in these runs?)
Ghost Wheels (for some retarded reason, this one gives me a lot more trouble than I'd like to admit)
Stage 6:
noncard 2
Peta Flare (sat in front of a solid wall expecting to end the card before getting hit, got hit after scoring the capture and the life fragment)
Subterranean Sun (totally didn't see the red bullet I rammed into while dodging snowballs)
As an additional note, due to tiredness and my speakers playing at a lower volume to not disturb sleeping roommates, my focus-dancing during Stage 5 is not lined up with the music. It bugs me a bit, but it adds an additional drunken danmaku god feel to it.
PCB is the most likely candidate for the next no-bomb attempt, although I may add a rule to suicide after broken borders to eliminate the advantage that those give. I'm not familiar enough with EoSD and IN to be attempting no-bomb runs for them, UFO is probably a bad idea (considering clipdeath rage, how useful bombs are for UFO collecting, and how badly chain-deaths will screw you over with the power system), and PC-98 is even less familiar than EoSD and IN, considering LLS is the only one I've 1cced at all.
-
I thought you get 10 life bonuses for collecting every single life fragments in the game ? Including
Okay, I'll leave that line unfinished. I actually read "mid/boss" as "midboss" :V
Asteroid Belt 1/5 with right eye closed, 1/3 with left eye closed and 1/2 with both eyes closed open :V
Unseasonal Butterfly Storm 0/1 with left eye closed and 1/1 insta-capture with both eyes open. Yay ?
It's a pretty silly handicap >_>

Perfect ReimuA Satori fight. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7537)
Had one death on the stage because I got walled during the streaming. :c
Does anyone have a 100% consistent strategy for this? The green amulets look static or at least aimed.
While I'm at it, I would like to request a timeout of both Murasa's last noncard and Byakuren's "Makai Butterfly" card.
I know how to do the latter, but not fully through. If I get there at 2 power, I'm usually screwed.
The former is the only reason why a perfect stage 4 run is impossible for me.
@Krim
PCB is really easy to do no bombs, you should definitely be able to do it.
-
Since the announcement of Double Spoiler, or at least since i heard about it, i have been playing a lot of Shoot the Bullet. I want to finish the game. I've had it around for over a year and barely played it. But now i have 70 scenes cleared. 15 left to go. All of Level 9 cleared. Kaguya's "ceiling" and "mysterium" was very troublesome for me. Not so much because of the patterns themselves but more crippled by Aya's movement speed. I hope that get polished up a bit for DS. It makes for unnecessary frustration. All of Eirins attacks were laughably easy though.
While I'm at it, I would like to request a timeout of both Murasa's last noncard
Yes, i would like to see that as well because i wanted to do a perfect run of just the boss. This old viking's too lazy for full stage perfection. ::)
-

Green amulets are aimed (or at least, I assume so, since every other amulet pattern in the stage is aimed). It's not something I can entirely explain in words, and it's not something I can point out in a video due to lag, but I use musical cues to time my streaming direction changes. Best I can say is to experiment with it. Green amulets are more bark than bite, and I don't have them memorized at all, simply straight-up reading them each time. Your primary concern is to have stream timing that doesn't get you walled. Also remember to time your streaming to end near the middle of the screen so you're prepared when the lasers come. There is a safespot on the edges should you get stuck there (if you graze just outside one of the outermost vertical red lasers, you should dodge through the blue diagonal lasers fine, iirc), but it's a last resort, since due to the green amulets, it's unreliable since you might have to dodge an amulet while you're stuck in laser hell (although, if it's aimed, you could theoretically memorize out a way that that doesn't happen, but that's a level of micromemorization I'm not expecting).
While I'm at it, I would like to request a timeout of both Murasa's last noncard[...] the only reason why a perfect stage 4 run is impossible for me.
Grumble grumble... (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=5148.msg266488#msg266488)
I don't think the replay would help much anyway. All I can say is it's lightspeed reading.
Byakuren's "Makai Butterfly" card[...] If I get there at 2 power, I'm usually screwed.
I'd pull one out for you, but baw class. I'm sure Baity has one sitting around the moment he sees this post anyway.
@Krim

I know. Not entirely sure why I haven't done it yet, since PCB is one of my stronger games. Soon.
-

I've found that sticking to one side makes it much, much eaiser, but this is may be preference. Though, I can back this up by saying that if you're in the correct position, you can take out the smaller fairies as soon as they enter the screen, which gives you more breathing space. And it destroys the larger fairies before they fire their second set.

Good morning (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7538)! Screw timeout, this is all you need to know about it. 1.xx, stalled a bit even for added leeway. All the timeout involves is learning the last 2-3 waves, which I only learnt once and forgot it thereafter. For added effect: The outline shown is possible with all Shot Types, regardless of Power.

Isn't there something static about Murasa's third non-spell?
--------------------
Update on my StB progress: 75 scenes beaten. All of Komachi's are down and Shikieiki's first two as well. I got really frustrated during 8-4. 10 Photos long with the first five and final three being piss-easy. I looked up SP's showcase video to get tips for it - very helpful video btw. - and i saw him treat Photo 6 and 7 similar to 3 and 4 but if i tried to do that i would always get hit in some way. I couldn't get it down and every failure would spell having to retry the entire thing again. I ended up dodging them.
-
Fantasy Heaven is now 1/219! I still have twenty cards to capture or so, but that one looked like the worst of the bunch by far... whether it's been worthwhile spending two hours on it is another thing altogether!
-

The entire thing? The only thing that actually gives it "variety" is RBM (Random Boss Movement).
-
Phew... captured all 10 levels of scenes in StB. Only extra awaits. So far, its been very enjoyable though a few select scenes have been annoying like hell. Still, its very few out of very many pretty attacks so yeah, the game is pretty awesome. I'll wait with Extra till' later though. I'm tired and going to school tomorrow.
PS: Its rare that i spend so much time with Touhou continuously. Its exhausting. :D
The entire thing? The only thing that actually gives it "variety" is RBM (Random Boss Movement).
Oh, well all the runs i have seen in which it was captured, usually by those shmup gods from the east, use similar movements everytime. Maybe its a static pattern which aiming is determined by bosses position?
-

Erm...that's exactly what Baity just said. You must have noticed yourself, no?
It's one of the things I've actually learned from Lunatic-level play: the ability to pick up on the fact that some things are static, some aimed, some random. Pretty cool.

...
Wow, I just had the most epic SA lunatic no bombs 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7541)ever.
Here's a brief summary:
Stage 1
Death on Yamame. No, not her opener, her FIRST CARD.
Stage 3
Death on Mt Ooe. Yeah, I've got nothing.
Stage 4
Stage 4 was a fucking trainwreck. It starts immediately with suiciding with a red laser at the very start. Dying as the midboss was clearing. Dying again five seconds later by crashing into one of the enemies, followed by another suicide at the purple waves.
So yeah, I entered Satori with no lives left. :V
Another death on DBDB, leaving me to enter stage 5 with no lives left yet again.
Stage 5
Caught catwalk. Popcorn death. Another death on GOAST wheels because I messed up my timing.
Stage 6
Enter Utsuho with no lives left and still managed to make it. Death on her second noncard.
Phew, I was hanging on no lives left for pretty much everything from Satori and onwards. This was pretty intense.
I totally wasn't inspired by Krim, what are you talking about? ::)
-
I totally wasn't inspired by Krim, what are you talking about? ::)
Eh, not that I care (realized that was a little ambiguous... "don't care" that you were inspired by me, not "don't care" about your accomplishment). Half of my past achievements are inspired by shit that someone else did anyway. Honestly, I'm surprised you kept going after that Stage 4 failtrain. I lack that kind of discipline and will just ragequit if I randomly decide to crash like that. And I'm glad I'm not the only one who'll capture everything in Orin's arsenal except Ghost (damn you people and your misspelling of such a simple word) Wheels in a real run (if I remember correctly, I did the same thing in my second best attempt at a no-bomb 1cc which was a good 9 months or so ago, capturing catwalk and everything else except motherfuckin' Ghost Wheels... I really am horrible at this card).
-
Hooray, all EX-Scenes captured in StB! Only Stage 10 left...

http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7552
I feel reborn again as a Touhou player. That was just TOO fun. 3rd UFO lunatic 1cc, done after about an hour of grinding. Like the comments say, every single 1cc of this game has me doing worse and worse, this time me ending 0/0. I have no idea how I captured Devil's Recitation after falling into the death pit at the bottom.
But yes, it's been months since Touhou has made my heart pound so hard.

Hahaha there's gotta be a rule out there that requires all SA no bombs 1ccs to be train wrecks. My run captured every one of Orin's cards except for Ghost Wheels too...except I still died six times on stage five...and yet still got the 1cc.

I decided on a whim to go and play LLS lunatic, but with the sole purpose of fighting Kurumi's second phase at max rank without bombing it. Not only did I capture it, I went on to do the best LLS lunatic 1cc I've ever done, and get it on camera to boot. I made some silly mistakes and paranoid bombing, but the thing is that even with all that, this is still the best run out of the over a dozen ones I've done.
I was gonna wait until the English patches were finally complete, but this is too good not to put on Youtube.

Hence why I'm putting it on Youtube once I stop being lazy. 7 deaths is a decent run for me, 6 is exceptional. I've never gotten 5 before. If I hadn't done so many silly panic bombs, I could have even gotten away with 4 deaths.

Lol, i had no lives left when i was done with my first (done on a whim though). Should be interesting to watch donut!

MoF No-Vertical Normal 1cc.
Absolutely horrendous run, ending with no lives and 2.00 power, but hey, I did it with MarisaB, with VSync removing the bug :V
Also, Shoot the Bullet EX-Stage on YouTube now! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yf8gY6JydS4&fmt=22)

Only Marisa B Phantasm had any 'real' dodging involved for the one spell that counts. It may be my imagination but the phase of BoLaD with the blue medium sized bullets is harder than its Extra counterpart, and not because the spell lasts another phase. Well, maybe that too. I don't remember how much the butterfly bullets limit movement. The attack is faster on average, maybe? And the bullets overlap more but that could be my own inexperience with how the attack pans out.

I wonder if I can actually make improvements on this (score-wise)? Well, only one way to find out. Scoring is pretty fundamental in this game, so I might just stick with that and see how different my scores become. Unfortunately, I mess up the static Final Phase. Well, that's a given though.

Limiting to the scope of this series here's a nod to PCB Extra based on your earlier achievements with it and being close enough to IN's system. However, compared to what you've been through you may be bored with the mostly low difficulty of the attacks.
Very splendid work, by the way!

Right. I don't like UFO Lunatic but it still has a Stage 3 boss and because i'm on a quest to beat all Stage 3 bosses NDNB in the Windows Games UFO was a part of it. I had to spend more attempts on perfecting Alice but she was at least much more fun than Ichirin.

So today I started with a 7 bombs 11 misses game over on Extreme Color Typhoon.
Worked myself up to a 22 bombs 11 misses 1cc with one life and two bombs left. What do we learn from that? Bomb more!

Either that game gives you too many bombs or lol I dunno
do PCB

In EoSD, deathbombs are counted as misses.
Three starting lives, 1 from Meiling, 1 from Sakuya, 4 from score (I think)
9 lives total. 9*3=27
Plus 1 bomb from each Daiyosei, Koakuma and stage 6 Sakuya equals 30 bombs. Maybe I even missed something else...

only 5 more stages in this section to go, not looking forward to them but the feeling of acheivement when you beat them just cant be got elsewhere since its so bloody well hard. :D

MS lunatic 1cc'd with all characters.
I've got to say, out of all the shottypes, I found Yuka to be the least good out of all of them.
Her power isn't terrible great (espicially at low power) unless your shotgunning and her speed doesn't help much in dodging things like Yumeko's streams, cheeto lasers or collecting point items. Hmm...
I really wish I could practice the stages so I wouldn't be so horrible at this game.
Went into Yumeko 6/0 and finish the game 1/3. :C
-
MoF Hard, No-Vertical. Got up to Sanae's last card before game overing (because one of the petal bullets spawned on top of me :V). I think I can definitely do this, if I can get rid of the retarded deaths on Stages 3 and 4...
-
I've just had the best Bone-Dry Monster capture ever.

Dashing out of that bullet's way. Note the shrinking hitbox :V
-
VoWG Lunatic ND1B run (a deathbomb). Chose not to save the replay because it's hardly better than my ND2B run, and obviously not the capture I wanted.
So close, man. I'm still having trouble reading the gaps within the walls, but I've really improved reading the walls as a whole (finally getting used to the speed) over the past ten runs or so (history at 29 or 30 attempts, can't remember; still 0 captures).
The "kicker", if you can call it that, is that I've been interviewing for graduate school these past two weeks (three schools so far), and the trips are short enough to warrant not bringing my laptop (and thus Touhou) with me. These last ten runs I mentioned were all during this afternoon - as a whole, I've lately only been playing Touhou in decent-sized sessions (and I only unlocked VoWG Lunatic three days ago). Yet I'm this close to capturing "everyone's favorite card".
-
26 graze. 26 more graze than any of you noobs will ever get.
It took me a few days, but I beat your graze count :D
(http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/5601/innobombclear.jpg)
Oh wait, graze, not spell card captures. I always get those two mixed up.

ps I'm not even happy with this run because of the RETARDED deaths in every fucking stage.
-
Haven't played StB in about a month, and still managed to capture 8-4, 8-6, and 8-8 in only about an hour. 8-5 and 8-7, on the other hand...
-
Limiting to the scope of this series here's a nod to PCB Extra based on your earlier achievements with it and being close enough to IN's system. However, compared to what you've been through you may be bored with the mostly low difficulty of the attacks.
This promises to be interesting ^^; It's amazing what I've forgotten in the year since I last took Ran on....
Very splendid work, by the way!
Thank you!
-
Ugh...
I'm never going to touch StB ever again.
All I need to capture is Suika's fog spell.
Now to finish Suika's fog spell card...

Eventually, I did post the rest of my LLS lunatic 1cc.

-
Another MoF Extra clear, this time with Jade and Mishaguji-sama captured.
... screwed up Snake Eats the Croaking Frog, Seven Trees, Froggy Braves the Elements, Red Frog and Suwa War pretty badly, though. Those things are brutal at 75 fps >_>
All in all it's your normal Extra clear, only with faster speed. Oh and the tension, the pressure <3
-
Man, I've been having a terrible day today. Nothing truly accomplished, except for various things in StB from revisiting.
Been trying to work on this for hours:
(http://i60.servimg.com/u/f60/12/80/32/92/th/untitl58.jpg) (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=414&u=12803292)
But I felt that I really didn't do anything. If I could only clear it "properly", I would have 20mil instantly.
Maybe I should take 1-2 days off to relax a bit.
-
ps I'm not even happy with this run because of the RETARDED deaths in every fucking stage.
T'was still pretty cool. Even though two deaths on Ephemerality 137 were almost laughable and the way you died on Kaguya's opener was totally :o
I gotta study your replay to figure out how to handle S3 NDNB with Border team. :)

TOUHOU 08 LUNATIC 1CC with a spare life and 3 bombs.
YES!

MoF Stage 2 Lunatic perfect run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7585)
About damn time. I suppose the stage portion isn't all that bad, once you learn how to do it, but the random elements of boss Hina's attacks are not fun. You have no idea how many times I got surprise-walled during Old Lady Ohgane's Fire - I go where it should be relatively open (and I am taking into account the different orientations), then all of a sudden the bullets align themselves into a wall stretching literally all the way to the edge of the screen. From the center.
And don't get me started on Exiled Doll.

Pretty much the entire stage aside from Keine's first and third boss cards is static depending upon the player position. If you can get my route through the stage portion down (including the midboss) then it should work every time.

EoSD no focus lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7588)

Got clipped like 5 freaking times. :|
I think the real accomplishment was that dodging on the stage 5 wall fairies. :V
That, and my most legendary derp death that happened in the stage 6 portion.

>If you stream it at the very bottom of the screen, charge speed, it shouldn't be too hard. After a little while into the card you'll need to speed up sometimes to dodge a butterfly, but other then that, as long as you change directions as needed after taking a shot... it should be fine.

With ReimuA? Nah. She's got a pretty easy Patchy battle. ReimuA 1cc's are made or broken by things that suddenly become bullshit due to ReimuA's weak shot, like the fairy wall at the end of stage 4 and the wall fairies before midboss Sakuya in stage 5.

It doesn't matter which shottype I use.
Patchouli is still a BS boss towards me.

I recently deleted my score.dat in StB and started over. I'm already up to all scenes until stage 6 cleared, and I just went ahead and beat 9-1. That one is SO irritating.

You forgot the last shot. You know, the one where Ran chainsaws down the screen faster than you can get away with your charge speed.
9-1. That one is SO irritating
THAT one... I'm still not sure how I did it. There is a pattern to it, but it's still the next best thing to a solid wall.
-

Actually, if you pay attention, it's not that you can't outrun her; it's that it's so close that the RNG will sometimes spawn bullets on top of you. Still turns the last two shots into luck garbage though. -_-

I thought this would take me longer than an afternoon to do since I haven't played PCB since 2008:
(http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/1691/pcbnobombclear.jpg)
For some reason starting lives were set at five (god knows what I was trying to do in 2008), and I didn't notice this until the end of stage three in the single full game attempt it took me to pull this off. However, I finished with four lives in stock and never dipped below three, so it doesn't matter except for giving me a lower score. Anyway, a couple of hilarious deaths due to not remembering how random things work (such as most of stage 6), but overall a fairly decent run. Also no intentionally broken borders, though I must say that I was mightily tempted to do so at the end of stage five.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7590
ps Amusingly, this is still my top score despite the five starting lives score penalty thing. Just goes to show how little I play this game, I guess.
-
Finally got scene 5-5 in StB. That's the Meiling jump kick with 360 curving danmaku spread, it's soo... pure dodging at the highest speed, which is fun really, but it's luck. "97 shots taken".
Now the only one I don't have in the first 8 levels is 8-5 (Eighty Million Holy Boards) and 3 scenes left for Level 9, 2 for 10. Nothing capped on Extra but I haven't put much effort into anything on it yet, either.
-
Am I the only person who finds Old Lady Ohgane's Fire trivial? If I'm not mistaken, the pattern is static...
In a way, yes. It's like Apollo 13, same pattern (as far as I know) but oriented in different directions, except Ohgane's Fire has fewer axes of symmetry (if you can call them that) than Apollo 13. It was probably the different orientations that were creating the wall-like formations and screwing me into a clipdeath. I did try to compensate for the different orientations, but there's always the possibility that I didn't do that well enough.
-
This incoming release of Double Spoiler is really making me wanna play StB! Went and practiced 10-8, the final, for a while and managed to beat it. It's a really awesome scene, definitely worth it's spot.
I also pulled off a massive luckgarbage dodge when I messed up part of the first phase during the speedy red bullets, and randomly ran through everything at the highest speed without dying, so that was awesome.
Welp... I've got 8-5, 9-1, 9-7, 10-4, and Seamless Ceiling to go... not counting EX.
EDIT:And 8-5 is captured. That's enough for today...
-
... Apollo 13 is static ?
Oh and it's good to see Kefit into TH again =3
-
... Apollo 13 is static ?
It's two static patterns piled on-top of each other, each turned at a random angle. So it's random, but controlled randomness.
Oh and it's good to see Kefit into TH again =3
This.
-
Yes, nice to see Kefit pick up right where he left off.
Now if only he'd accept PC-98... Play HRtP! :3
Me? I'm up to stage 7, and went to capture the bane of my existence known as scene 10-6. An HOUR of grinding followed, with me actually coming close to giving up not because my nerves were shot, but because my fingers were getting sore. Still, I proved beyond all reasonable doubt that it was SHIKIEIKI who was guilty...of abusing bubble bullets. >:<
-
I actually really like some of the stuff in LLS and MS, and I understand that save states now make a pseudo practice mode possible. Hell, I'm still waiting for ZUN to bring a Mai and Yuki style battle to the Windows games. It's just that gunning for accomplishments in the games isn't terribly appealing without being able to save replays.
Also I love 10-6, so much fun. One of only two fun scenes in stage ten, now that I think of it (the other being 10-5).

UFO Lunatic is too much about resource management and planning. Pretty much any Windows Touhou game aside of EoSD takes pretty much no planning at all and i did all of them in under three attempts.
So yes, its probably not so much about lack of capability more than it is lack of interest. So i figure i want a personal excuse as well: If a Call of Duty game came along and i found it more frustrating than entertaining then i wouldn't bother with more than a Normal run. Never a Veteran clear. The same can be said about Touhou. If i am not entertained by the game, i will not slave myself to beat it just to prove something. Touhou is not the only game in the world. I've got plenty other things to do so i'll settle with that little Hard clear with lives en mass? in stock.
I still want to perform some accomplishments in UFO Lunatic though. There are certain parts of the game i find entertaining. I wanna do a Sinkable Vortex timeout, a Ghost Ship timeout and a Radiant Treasure Gun timeout. That should keep me entertained for a bit. :)

That, and my most legendary derp death that happened in the stage 6 portion.
Haha, now that I've watched this I wouldn't call that stage five wall fairies dodge an accomplishment, since it was pretty much luck. Of course, "luck" is what the wall fairies are as ReimuA. Mercury Poison was quite nice though.
Also this run gave me a strange sense of deja vu. Well, except for the dying with bombs part. I used to give long rants about not dying with bombs in stock, but now I will simply agree that it is the manly thing to do.
-
Also I love 10-6, so much fun. One of only two fun scenes in stage ten, now that I think of it (the other being 10-5).
This.
The last part of 10-1 is kind of interesting, but you could more easily be playing 9-2 for something close to that effect.
-
2 deaths, 6 bombs, 10 captues IN extra.
I'm gonna get my very first no-death anything soon! Made some really stupid mistakes on the first card and 3 noncards. If I can just fix that and capture fujiyama volcano like I can in spell practice it'll be awesome!
-
Cleared PCB Lunatic with ReimuA. The whole thing sucked though but it still a clear. I died twice to Alice and didn't capture a single one of her cards. Not even the mid-boss one.
I should just stick to using someone with decent attack power from now on. I just wanted to try her out and as a result i limped away with 4 lives remaining at the end of the game. My score is 800M which beats my original iirc so i guess its kinda cool.

Seriously what (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7599)
I guess this is proof that you should never rage quit. :V
-
Haha, nice. I think that MoF is a lot harder to no bomb 1cc than most of the other Windows games.
And yeah, totally agree with that never rage quit thing. Of my no bombs runs, only PCB has not had completely ridiculous chain death rage quit segments. Hell, MoF and SA each had multiple chain death segments.
-
Captured 83 Scenes in Shoot the Bullet. Only EX-7 and EX-8 remains. Most of the stuff during EX-level was pretty easy to deal with as i knew what to do about them from replays. :V
EX-6 though... that was >:(
I had to try at it over and over and over again until i worked out how to manage it. Turns out its some sort of weird streaming. Then i just try until Aya's movement speed don't screw me over. This game might be easier to play if you are a Marisa player but being a Reimu player, the insane speed of Aya is probably cause of a majority of deaths.
-
woo
Up to 79 scenes in Screw That B1tch Shoot the Bullet with snaptures of 10-6, 10-7, and EX-8. Unfortunately, all the scenes that are left are not fun at all.
8-7 (Superman) (Yooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu)
10-3 (Komachi needs her space)
10-4 (Bar of 9 Kings and that fifth one who doesn't like you)
10-8 (Cleansed Crystal Judgment "Aya's speed doesn't let her micrododge well")
EX-1 (pre-MoF clipdeath)
EX-4 (Border of micrododging and blind spots)
EX-6 (Danmaku in a half shell - Turtle Power)
-
I find it mildly horrifying that I, a danmaku normal mode player, cleared all of StB months ago, and now lunatic mode players are just getting around to clearing it. >_>
Also, EX-6 is rofl fuck you Mokou. EX-8 is awesome, though. Hell, I find everything in Extra fun, everything in extra that doesn't belong to Mokou. Yes, even BoWaP.
For my part, this doubles as a sad moment: yesterday I fired up StB for kicks, marking the first time all year that I've played danmaku shootan gaem. I promptly started at level 1 and cleared all the scenes in order again, up until Level 6, at which point I blind-capped 6-3, 6-4, and 6-5 in quick succession within two minutes on my first try (and then took a break). In essence, this is a good thing, but it does still make me feel sad that it was so hard to do the first time, over a year ago. :(
-
I fail to see how proof that you're better than you were back then is a sad thing. :/

The ease which I took. :yukkuri:
I feel like I've lost something being able to just clear scenes with next to no thought at all. I remember sweating bullets and grinding through those scenes way back when, but now that I can do them so easily, it makes me a bit sad. The joy of the struggle is over.
That said, I know the cure for this sudden attack of ennui: Shikieiki, here I come! >:D Ah, well, actually, on second thought, maybe not...
-
Well, cleared everything in StB except 3 cards on Level 9 and everything on EX other then EX-3. Got to the last picture on BoWaP and Pandemonium a few times though.
10-8 isn't really that bad; you just need to get used to the patterns. And by the way, the butterflies are aimed. I think it's really great fun.

StB scenes usually get much easier once you beat them once, but that applies to the shooters in general. This is why difficulty levels exist.
Speaking of StB I should play some more but I'm feeling more sick than usual. =_= After 10-6 everything else will feel like an anticlimax.
-
Then play for score already :|
It's more challenging that way.
-
This is why difficulty levels exist.
Pfft, what are those? And no, I am not going to play EoSD hard. Like ever.

This is why you save EX-8 for the grand finale. Or if you're a horrendous Shiki fangirl like me, 10-8. It makes me sad that 10-8 isn't terribly flashy, though. :(
Cut by Baity:
score
That makes even less sense than difficulty levels :/
-
Believe it or not, I do sometimes try to get good-scoring pictures in StB. :yukkuri: It has a good score system. The thing that doesn't appeal to me is getting EVERY shot as perfect.
Also, while grinding 10-6 last night, it occured to me that the game could really use a vsynch patch. Did one ever get made for it?
And no, I am not going to play EoSD hard. Like ever.
Blegh. =_= Your choice.
-
That makes even less sense than difficulty levels :/
How does it make less sense exactly? When playing StB for score, you take more risks. This puts the difficulty "up" in the sense that you're putting yourself into the more dangerous parts of the Scene.
Besides:
(http://i60.servimg.com/u/f60/12/80/32/92/th/untitl58.jpg) (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=414&u=12803292)
You get awesome pictures like this.
Pastry chop: Yes it did. See attachment. I do not guarantee stability.
-
The V-sync patch always speeds StB, SA, and UFO up to 75 fps for me.
I actually didn't notice for awhile, and did a whole lot of the stuff between Level 3 and 9 at increased speed. I'm not sure whether I'm happy or mad about that.
-
The V-sync patch always speeds StB, SA, and UFO up to 75 fps for me.
That's because you have Vsync = 1 in the .ini (configuration settings). So to speak, it sets the FPS equal to your monitor refresh settings; what you want to do is set Vsync = 0 to keep it at 60 FPS. Though, this is basically saying that you want Vsync off for these (which is what I'm doing). Or set refresh to 60 Hz :V :V :V

Ah, good point. StB is one of the games in which I actively scorewhore. That said:

I'm not terribly good at it. :/ Compare my score to yours. And then the scenes. Ugh. -___-
Also where the hell is your English patch Baity ???
-
kthx. Aya feels marginally more controllable. :V
Also 8-7 argh.
EDIT: lol I beat it.
-
I find it mildly horrifying that I, a danmaku normal mode player, cleared all of StB months ago, and now lunatic mode players are just getting around to clearing it. >_>
Well I'm only now getting back into Touhou, so...
10-8 isn't really that bad; you just need to get used to the patterns. And by the way, the butterflies are aimed. I think it's really great fun.
Aya's micrododging abilities, etc.
at which point I blind-capped 6-3, 6-4, and 6-5 in quick succession within two minutes on my first try (and then took a break).
Those are all easy though :V
Scoring in StB is kind of fun, if somewhat arbitrary. There's a huge difference between clearing scenes and clearing them well, and it's a lot more satisfying than bothering with any of the "real" games' score abuse techniques tbh. That's why I look at the useless score pages on the wiki and see if I could place on them, like taking the #1 spot for 4-8 (http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m303/ValetVisuals/Random/tewiscore.png).
Also 8-7 argh.
EDIT: lol I beat it.
liez n deseet

Have now beaten Mountain of Faith Easy with all shot types, and gotten my first SA Easy clear with ReimuA.
...I wasn't expecting SA to be easier than MoF.

Just beat 9-6 without showing any signs of insanity for once.
EDIT: Down to ten scenes, captured EX-4 and EX-6.

SA Easy 1CC with ReimuB.
fuck yes utsuho you are the best boss fight ever
-
UFO Lunatic 1cc with Reimu A (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=163.msg277385#msg277385). Hooray!
I'm very disappointed with my dodging in this run, but I played "Touhou: the game of resource management" for what might as well be called my first time, bombing anything I was insecure about.... Which led to 5/4 entering Byakuren. Can't complain too much I guess. This was my second time getting passed her second card ever, so I just bombed everything to secure a 1cc.
Also, that death at the end of Parasol Star Memories had me raging for the proceeding three stages, but I'm happy now so \o/
-
Congrats Naut! Welcome to the cool kids club!
As for me, I just finished beating all 85 scenes in StB again. Bring on Double Spoiler ZUN! And I expect it to be harder! Harder~~~ :>

...I wasn't expecting SA to be easier than MoF.
Try SA Normal (or higher for that matter) before saying that.

Try SA Normal (or higher for that matter) before saying that.
Uhh, he just specified easy mode, not normal ??? MoF easy can be harder than SA easy, the same way some normal modes can be harder than others, or any other difficulty. :S
PS: EoSD with its five stages on easy modo says hi.
-
Uhh, he just specified easy mode, not normal ??? MoF easy can be harder than SA easy, the same way some normal modes can be harder than others, or any other difficulty. :S
I know he's been playing on Easy. Perhaps I worded it wrong (tired here), just meant to give him a heads-up that above Easy, SA is definitely harder than MoF.
And EoSD never came up in his comparison.
EDIT: Might as well add something on-topic. Randomly felt like doing something in EoSD higher than Normal (i.e. Hard). Got up to Patchouli's first NDL before gameovering (forgot which way it was supposed to sweep), following a noticeable waste of resources (both lives and bombs) in the stage portion because I couldn't remember when I was supposed to stream the Kedamas' shots.
I'd also consider it an accomplishment that I'm beginning to appreciate EoSD's gameplay - well, in the earlier portions at least. I attribute that to the lack of bullet types with weird hitboxes, mainly.

Cleared EX-8. Only 1 scene left. I don't know when i will be doing that one though as there is this little game called Final Fantasy XIII coming...
-
Pretty rare of me to actually mess up "Sinking Votex" and let it carry through. I dodged the first wave of the 3rd non-spell under these conditions. In the middle of a run, etc.
EDIT: Hm. Looking alright. I don't like my shivering though.

PS: EoSD with its five stages on easy modo says hi.
And those five stages still kill you. You will die embarrassing deaths to Sakuya the first time you meet her.

EoSD
Lack of weird hitboxes
:akihawhat:
Also, Baity, you so crazy.
And aaah why is the twelfth so far awaaaaaay? :( I wanna get my Double Spoiler on! StB is so amazing because from level 5 on each individual scene is like its own world with its own rules and it's such a great concept but as I proved by ripping apart the entire second half of the game in one day it's gotten too easy and I want harder! HARDER!
Hehehehehehehehehe...
Maybe once I get home I'll play something on lunatic... EoSD, or IN, or MoF, or maybe even that SA if I feel like banging my head against a wall.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF I just rechecked ZUN's blog and it's the FOURTEENTH. D= NOOOOOOOOOOO!
-
Every scenes in DS will play like 10-8, and we'll be seeing a crying Donut.
:3
-
:akihawhat:
That is, the bullet types present in EoSD's first few stages are more trustworthy than those found later (fire, metal fatigue, knives, etc.).
-
That's because you have Vsync = 1 in the .ini (configuration settings). So to speak, it sets the FPS equal to your monitor refresh settings; what you want to do is set Vsync = 0 to keep it at 60 FPS. Though, this is basically saying that you want Vsync off for these (which is what I'm doing). Or set refresh to 60 Hz :V :V :V
Addendum: the default for the patch is Vsync = 0, so if you didn't touch it things should be working as expected and in-game FPS would be whatever you have GameFPS set to (default is 60).
-
Perfect UFO Stage 1 Lunatic.
My movements are more "wavy" than ever. Maybe I should take a break from StB ...
-
Picked up StB again to get in the mood after ~6 month of not playing it.
I finally captured scene 10-8!
Took me ~ 50 tries, making for a history of ~(1/300)
Also, on my capture, the last three pictures have a score of zero. :V
-
Forgot about this:
Also where the hell is your English patch Baity ???
Collecting dust. I normally play without the English Patch.
Also, Baity, you so crazy.
Thank you!

"my copy of the game is in Japanese, which means that I'm cooler than you"
Clearly, that's my reasonsing. herp-a-derp derp
Actually, in truth, it's for stability reasons; my computer is messed up beyond all reasoning, considering that I could record DOS-Boxes with Fraps and all. Well, I used to until I "fixed" it. ;_;
Also, I'm going to point out that there are now 20 replays on the scoreboard of UFO Lunatic 1cc's with MarisaB. There are 18 SanaeA's and 11 MarisaA's. I have no idea what's with the sudden increase for MarisaB; maybe they're putting them up for the sake of going "oh yes, i managed to do it with the worst shot type ever, see, see?"
-
EoSD Normal 1cc (MarisaA), cleared 3/3. The replay site isn't working for me right now, hence no link.
Finally remembered to get this done. Seems too easy now, having gone through a bit of Hard Mode (and that's taking into account the broken bullet hitboxes; nothing a bomb couldn't handle, you know?). No deaths until boss-Sakuya's opener, and I had max lives by that point.
-
"it means you're cooler than-GODDAMNIT!"
I was about to quote Kefit, goddamnit.
I have no idea what's with the sudden increase for MarisaB; maybe they're putting them up for the sake of going "oh yes, i managed to do it with the worst shot type ever, see, see?"
If it weren't for the bomb and the pitiful boss damage, she'd actually be a pretty fun shottype. Of course, Marisa's special ability is still "run into bullets" so I steer clear of her.
-

She's like half a frame faster then Reimu... when unfocused. The difference between Reimu and Marisa has been negligible since MoF when ZUN took out speed differences (with that incredibly minor exception); although Reimu still ends up with the most used shot types anyway, soooo...

No, not at all.
- There's only one SanaeA EXTREME scorerun at 2.3 bil. . 13 replays are below 350mil.
- There's one MarisaB at 1 bil. with half the scores below 300mil (meaning just bare clears or non-scoring). For added reference, I sit on "3rd" with just over half the current top.

1cc'd MoF Hard, Marisa C. Captured Virtue of Wind God with a history of 1/1!
Damn, Marisa C is broken.
However... WHY CAN'T I CLEAR MOF EXTRA?
-
Maybe if you use her right, which I suck at. My Lunatic 1cc with her was full of fail. IIRC, I actually died 3 times on Stage 3, but I'd have to watch the replay.
Haven't really had time to play. Also, apparently I overwrote the replay of said clear. At least I had it uploaded on Gensokyo, so once it gets back up I can get it again if I want to.
Not sure what I'll try next.

For the last 3, when the butterflies are flying out, move closer to Aya to buy yourself more time to move before she goes lolbodyslam.
-
EoSD Stage 3 Hard perfect run. In Practice Mode, however.
First time in a while that I captured Meiling's second spell (random blue bullet spam), but I still had to stretch my path way to the side to get out.
-
Photos 4, 5 and 6 are easy ? :ohdear:
And the last 3. Aya charges at herself you (?) before you could move an inch, or is there some trick to this ? :<
Photos 4, 5, and 6 are all about shooting Aya at the right time. If you time it so that you get a picture just after she kicks off from a wall, you'll clear all the bullets she fires AND get a nice shot.
As for the last 3, protip: When something charges at you, don't sit still and let it hit you. If you're the least bit proactive you can get out of the way in time.
-
Actually, now that I think about it... couldn't you just move backwards, without being in danger of smashing into a butterfly bullet? Aya might just go on to the end of the screen though so I'm not sure if that works.
-

Yes, but it's not recommended considering you'll be too close to micrododge the next wave of bulletflies.
-
Yes, but you had better take a picture quickly so you don't get flattened by the next wave of superdense bullets. (You can't micrododge very well directly in front of the boss...)
This is what StB's unfocused speed is for :*
-
I somehow 1cc'd IN lunatic with the magic team. o_o I did it just for fun when Rikter was playing it, and I somehow made it all the way to the end.
It's not a pure run; I panicked at the end of Kaguya and Malice Cannon'd her to death (even then, my recklessness made it very close), but I feel slightly better about giving in to temptation by the fact that I captured Rising World.
I'd post the replay (it's a very lulzy replay, with me surviving things like Fantasy Seal ~ Dark and Eirin's non-spell and then dying to Hakurei Danmaku Field and Galaxy in a Pot), but the replay site's down at the moment.

It says, it can't read the information from the replay; this seems to be happening with IN replays at this point in time. But other than that, the replay works fine.

Hm, your Graze count is much higher than what I would normally expect from a person who doesn't play for score :V
I'm guessing you used that spot during the Mid-Boss. Regardless of this fact (because it is actually pretty easy, especially at Max Rank because of the extra breathing space), congrats.
"Bury in Lake", "Emerald Megalith" 1 Death timeouts; the latter at Max Rank which dropped about halfway through. The former was something close to Max Rank; I pulled off a deathbomb just a bit earlier in the Stage which reduced the Rank and by the time it came around, it obviously wasn't at Max Rank (close enough to it though). "Green Storm", "Water Elf" and "Mercury Poison" all successfully timed out. All in the same run. The "Mercury Poison" one would've been a No Focus one, but I chickened out when approaching the end. I did do it at Base Rank before though (No Focus I mean). I'll see if I can upload the run from here. If so, expect a BGM swap. If not, then wait until April :V
And now my own comments to this: "Bury in Lake", regardless of Rank will probably have the same difficulty, because of the way the bubbles are shot at different Ranks. Sure, the bubble bullets are evidently slower, but they're more packed together so if Patchy does a huge swing, then you're going to get one tiny gap to squeeze through. In other words, it probably doesn't matter what Rank I was at for it. While I'm at it, it's the only Spell Card for ReimuB that has Rank as the lowest attributing factor to it's difficulty; all the others change quite drastically in comparison (opinion).
The death on "Emerald Megalith" is pretty embarrassing.
Another EDIT: What's with American people and staying up late?
-
Of course I used THAT SPOT. It's much easier than actually taking the attack head-on once you know how to use it. I haven't faced that attack any other way since...2006, probably.
I think the speed difference between ranks in Bury in Lake can be pretty significant, although you are correct that the main factor remains whether or not Patchy decides to dance around like mad. I don't find that the speed increase from rank makes Green Storm, Water Elf, or Emerald Megalith appreciably more difficult, but max rank Mercury Poison is pretty brutal compared to its slower incarnations.
-

True, it probably is much easier. Still quite easy to take on head-on once you learn what to do with it though (:samereasoning:).

I'll agree with speed increase from Rank not being a large factor affecting the difficulty of mentioned Spell Cards, but I will say that I do find the extra ring(s?) of bullets fired from "Water Elf" to be quite an annoyance.
Ah, this also reminds me. At one point (I believe this was July 2009? I can't remember too clearly), I actually believed that Max Rank!"Mercury Poison" was easier because the bullets weren't moving ever so slowly. Ah, memories.
EDIT: Uploaded.

Capped EX-7. Annoying bugger but not too difficult once i got into how it worked. It just sucks how that bastard oni-girl wanna dance around the field for 40 seconds until she finally wanna show her colourful appearance for my camera. She should give a little something in return... :*
How do you tell people that you beat Shoot the Bullet? More like: What do you answer when you are asked what its about since they don't know it? "Oh its a game about taking pictures of little girls :)"
What would that say about me now? :/
Overall verdict of StB amounts to a 9/10 i think. Fun game with only a few annoying scenes. Back to FFXIII which is awesome.

I just tried Marisa in UFO. You're wrong, she moves like a fighter jet. Normally (using Reimu) I get 1 worthy run out of 2-3 restarts. I restarted 15 times with Marisa before getting at the end of stage 1 and clipping twice on nazrin's diamonds again because of her crazy speed. I didn't even try Kogasa midboss.
-
EoSD Hard 1cc. Had some deaths with bombs, so I could have possibly had more resources left. Scarlet Gensokyo was at 26 seconds left on the timer when it finally went down. No replay for now since Gensokyo.org is still down.

-
She's like half a frame faster then Reimu... when unfocused.
You're wrong, she moves like a fighter jet.
No, this is actually correct based on the data gathered. Marisa moves exactly half a pixel faster per frame. Comparing the two values, that's 11.1.% faster. Did you also take into account the slightly larger hitbox as well?
-

Marisa's speed is (unfocused/focused, pixels/frame) 5/2. Reimu and Sanae's speed is 4.5/2. Marisa's hitbox is a circle with a diameter radius of 3.5 pixels, Sanae's is 3, Reimu's is 2. Marisa also does less damage than Reimu A against bosses. Welcome to playing like a man.
EDIT: I suck
-
MarisA has delicious piercing
don't rely on slowasspark to get UFOs for you and she's better than needleraymoo
-
That half a pixel per frame you talk about still makes a huge difference to me. I just can't play decently using Marisa, end of story.
-
diameter radius
Hm, interesting. Though I believe Reimu's is a bit too small. It's a belief though; I don't have any hard data to disprove it. Contrary to this belief, Supporting such strange numbers between the three would be the changing Graze Box size between the three, with a notable decrease in size for Reimu.
EDIT: There we go.
Also, forgot (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wEreDDQ0gw) to link you people. Part 2 of 4 reason in description

Oh shit, that's supposed to say radius. My bad.

EoSD Hard clear (MarisaA) with continues, finished 2/0. Didn't realize until after I exited that I could use "Print Screen" to save a picture. Next time though.
More practice is in order for that 1cc. Aside from getting used to the new patterns, I really need to stop dying with bombs in stock. Probably would help if I got the Vsync patch so I can actually do more deathbombs. :V And Stage 4 was terribad this go-around, but interestingly enough I managed to capture Lava Cromlech.

Harbor Sign "Eternally Anchored Ghost Ship" Timeout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48ecnY67CG4)
I managed to make a timeout of Murasa's 3rd card in just two tries. Its not as hard as i initially thought. I was inspired to do it when i saw Banana's video. Now i need to time out Sinkable Vortex. Maybe i should go on a quest to time out all UFO's spellcards! 8)
MarisA has delicious piercing
don't rely on slowasspark to get UFOs for you and she's better than needleraymoo
I liked to use her for extra until i found out the wonders of SanaeB. MarisaA have her disadvantages though. For example, i failed to spot a bullet in Radiant Treasure Gun because blue bullets blended in with Marisa's options.
-
Parasol Star Memories is impossible :V
Until Baity gets to it, of course
6DNB Byakuren Lunatic. Her 2nd and 4th non-spells are such epic trainwrecks :/ And it seems my consistency for "Superhuman" has transferred completely to "Magic Milky Way".
Slightly better than last time though. This is one pretty long skill slump.
-
Until Baity gets to it, of course
Maaaaaaybe.
While I'm under the influence of a certain wine, have a 2 Death Timeout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7612) while using the shots to make things somewhat manageable.
Yes, I'm learning to wall jump between the tiny gaps
. And if you're wondering, yes it's smart to use your shots like that to remove umbrellas. Otherwise you'll only be relying on Boss Movement and RNG to determine your fate; why let that just happen when you can cut your own path instead? Similar story with "Blue UFOs" actually; it becomes a lot easier to time out when you destroy them.
For the sake of clarification Timeout != No Shooting in all cases. Similarly No Shooting != Timeout.

Did BoWaP and Seven Colored Turtles in an Internet cafe. Judging from people's reactions ... I think they all wet their pants :V
Understandable. Those blasted turtles literally fill the screen. BoWap just goes fast but that isn't too hard because its the same pattern every time.
-
BoWaP is a clipfuck
out of 40 hard and lunatic attempts, captured it only once on hard
-
IN Lunatic 1cc. Clocked in at EXACTLY 5am, due to failing 2 of Kaguya's last spells on ZERO SECONDS.
The run wasn't very impressive so no replay for you. 25 bombs used and finished 1/0. Hourai Jewel was just resource spam; all those practice runs apparently lost in time as I failed to change direction even once without needing to bomb.
-
I've only ever captured BoWaP by using the safespot for scoring purposes. I could probably do it on Normal without it, but it's not worth my time until I decide to try to capture all SA cards.
-
BoWaP uses the same pattern but ... too much memorization. I'd rather sightread it instead :<
1/15 on Lunatic and clipped it on Hard as Satorin was exploding :/
The StB version is worse. Much, much worse.
-
I won't be able to sit right under Yukari, would I? StB's version looks ridiculous as well.
I've got like 24 or 25 more cards to capture in StB before I can even do extra. But I can't be bothered to play it.
-
Oh hey, speaking of BoWaP, I just timed it out. :V
Wasn't really that difficult.
Strategic blinking is pretty silly.

I captured the StB version without any real effort at all. But the benefit in StB is that you can immediatly try it again which will let you get into the pattern. Also, i don't memorize it. I just get into a pattern of similar movements as a natural reaction to a pattern that loops itself.
And i timed out the Lunatic version myself. Not very hard to do at all.
BoWaP is a clipfuck

It kills you if you don't get through the gaps. That of course might be tough for some people to do because of the speed of the attack. My capture rate of it is 17/44 including timeout attempts. Admittingly i fail the spellcard on various occasions due to not reading fast enough but i usually compensate by timing the rest of thing out without dying. It also killed me in my Lunatic 1cc.

I can to pull off precise movements against dense and slow patterns (Complete Clarification at 1 power is cake, and I could survive at least two waves of Gray Test Tray Shure and Cloudy Omen), but when I'm forced to read/move quickly, all the precision is gone :ohdear: Byakuren's non-spells, for example. 12~14 misses on BEE's last pattern, if that counts.
... Maybe it was because of StB >_>

Greenland belongs to us!!! Ehm... anyway yeah, i actually agree with Jaimers here. I suck at Complete Clarification as well.

Woah! How did I end up here? I think I tripped over the RAGE thread and fell down.
Just beat HRtP for the first time (Jigoku route). I didn't 1cc it, so it's not really an accomplishment, but I've left it alone for the longest time. It feels like I finally fixed a car that's been sitting in the garage for years. Konngara's glare pierces my soul
-
Maybe I'm really specialized at dodging bullets from multiple directions ... I've just got another CC down at low power :<
And lasted pretty long at BEE's attack where she plants smaller BEES on the borders of the screen.
Another problem though ... My finger wouldn't let go of Focus. AGAIN :/
8DNB Byakuren. 1 miss at Cloudy Omen, 2 misses at her 2nd non-spell, 2 misses at Magic Milky Way (due to 2 Power I think >_>), 2 misses at her last non-spell (these non-spells are really irritating), 1 miss at Devil's Recitation, theeeeeen ...
... I captured both Superhuman (at 1 Power) and LFO :V

Ugh, ReimuB's Homing doesn't help against Byakuren that much. Except for maybe the second non-spell and the last. They go down in about the same amount of time when compared to ReimuA though. Maybe I'll do one more run with ReimuA. Depends on how well I feel within a few hours.
EDIT: 2k Graze on Stage 6 alone. Interesting. I might want to consider milking for Graze for the sake of it.

That is probably it. I remember you telling me that you had captured Devil's Recitation 18 times many of them being at 1xx power. I, on the other hand, have a nasty tendency to fail to see a little bullet coming from the sides when the attack levels up to final phase. Bugger!
Speaking of UFO. Played it a little just now. Captured RTG - masterpiece spellcard :* but then i died at LFO two times immediatly to easy amulets... but then i manage to read n' dodge the rest of the card even though it had turned weird.

done (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7625)
Okay. Nicely done. Didn't expect you to pull through with it. So uhmm, was it hard to do y/n?
-
Remembered to save the replay this time, Murasa's 3rd noncard timeout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7628). Almost a perfect Murasa fight otherwise, except I wasn't paying attention and failed to run away from spawning bullets during Dipper.
-
I seriously do not like how I lost FOUR lives on UFO S1, then immediately cleared Koishi without any bombs afterwards.
>_>
Not to mention misses at Nine Syllable Stabs (seriously what the hell), Super-Ego, Rorschach and PoaHP, which left me with no lives for Subterranean Rose.
-
was it hard to do y/n?
No, not really. it became pretty easy after a few tries unlike other difficult spellcards that make go through hell to time it out.

Pulling out something that's long overdue, IN Stage 5, No Deaths/No Bombs (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7629). I know it's waaaaaaaaaay overdue because it only took one try, and I haven't played IN in months. It could be better: I could make a better attempt to pretend to care about scoring during the stage, I could supergraze Card 1 (not for scoring, but because it looks cool, but the only time I've practiced the supergraze method was last summer, so I wasn't going to risk it), and Card 3 could go faster if I'd been less obsessive about what side I start on (Reisen goes to the left at the start, I go to the right by default) and if I'd been more willing to unfocus while Ran isn't locked on, but I'm nitpicking too much. If nothing else, it at least fills in another spot where there would otherwise be a blank in my accomplishment list, which is a nice consolation prize after a night of more failed SA 4-Suika and UFO 4 runs (and another failed UFO Marisa B 1cc as well... useless bitch).
Highlight of the run: almost failing Tele-Mesmerism at the last moment (http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g229/Krimsun_Munkey/Untitled-58.png?t=1268490938). Bullet at the left, bullet at the right, bullet passing below, bullet soon to pass above. I was lucky the card ended when it did.

Yeah, but it's streaming that I suck at for some reason. I always misread the strings, and wind up clipping them.
Maybe I should just stop caring about score in that. Whatever.
Is there anything that the earth shot for MarisaB is useful for, other than Orin's last card?
EDIT: Ah, whatever. SA Easy MarisaB 1CC get. Just need one for MarisaC, and then it's on to UFO!

SA Easy Mode 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7630)
So glad it's finally done, I honestly thought I'd have another Hell's Artificial Sun heart-breaker after dieing 3 times on Heaven and Hell Meltdown.
-
"Parasol Star Memories" Timeout No Shooting.
...I swear it's just luck (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7631) that I did that, but who cares!
-
First that PWG No Focus, and now this
I should stop giving weird challenges ;_;
Nice job, btw.
-
Next on the list is to do it while shooting (partially) and trying to stay underneath Kogasa.
Adding to my To-Do: a Perfect Aya No Vert. Might need to swap to ReimuB to break things though. Oh, and Momi No Vert as well as ~*~PMBS~*~. Actually, I wonder if I should aim for Perfect Stage 4 No Vert... Seems absurd though, considering that probability is working against me here. Then again, most challenges on paper are. Preliminary testing has shown this to be possible though.
Argh, this sickness is annoying.
Probably should mention that having 12.5 out there is a good breather of sorts for me. It gives me a year (and a half?) to prepare for 13.
And as I've said before (somewhere?) it gives you more time to play UFO. Hop to it guys :V
That's what happened with StB, UFO, and now DS. We can't stop it.
It also happened with SA.

Hah. That would explain your ease with Keine's midboss spell, although i find it to be quite easy myself - even timing it out. EoSD bubble hitboxes don't want me to perfect though...
-
Finally unlocked StB Extra! The unlocker was 9-7. Honestly, 9-7 was really easy, I have no idea why I hadn't capped it until now.
Anyway, what's the screen "1: Newspaper Extra" after the Extra stage for? Is Double Spoiler going to patch itself there? EDIT: By the way, when will Double Spoiler be released?

Newspaper Extra was something we suspect ZUN had planned as little bonus patches to add extra characters later on, but he never did.
-
Double Spoiler, level 9... moving on to Level 10 now.
9-5 Satori gets Perfect Maid, kind of.
Actually not that bad, as long as you change the picture orientation to vertical with X.
9-6 Koishi gets a fun little spell that changes phases every 2~3 pictures. The third phase is really pretty. Not terribly hard, either.
9-7. GOD FUCKING DAMMIT SATORI GETS SEAMLESS CEILING
AUGH AUGH NO, WHYYYYYYY. Thankfully, this only takes 3 photos to clear, so you can just luckgarbage it, and it shouldn't take long.
-
Double Spoiler level 9? Oh, uhmm... guess i'm a little behind then. :D but then again, i only just got it. I have beat levels 1, 2 and 3 now. Easy but still fun. I also like the way you get golden camera's for reaching a certain scoring milestone.

Because of Aya's shitty movement speed. The pattern in itself isn't intimidating at all but Aya's speed made me clip enough to drive me crazy. Gimme Reimu and it should be easy enough.
Speaking of movement speed... is it just me or doesn't Ayas movement speed feel polished in DS?
-

:/

Feels about the same to me. I never had much trouble with it in StB, to be honest.
-
Beat the first 5 scenes in Level 4. But what the heck ZUN? Why can't i access the replays from the replay menu? That sucks you know. So i did some polishing of my scene captures. I'll have to record and turn them into videos because ZUN's replay system have flaws... AGAIN!
Anyway, play time is 1 hour and 21 minutes. 25 scenes captured. Score: 2,570,028
:/
Okay maybe a bit, but it really didn't look like anything that would go ahead an become problematic. As i see it, its not too much about reading it but more to make Aya make accurate enough movements to actually dodge it.
But i'm certain there is a difference to the movement speed. Maybe its because i'm still playing around with level 1,2 and 3. Just improving my results a bit. Also, part of me wanna rush ahead as i'm very excited to see what kinds of patterns ZUN have in store for me but i still want to be able to keep replays. Especially after polishing them with higher scores.
-
I'm up to level 10 in DS. This game is SO fun. Most recent scene cleared is KinkAAAGGHGHGAGHAGGHHHHkuji. ZUN is the most magnificent bastard ever for 9-7. It's like you enter, not sure what to expect, and Satori flashes a smile and goes "hmm, where did we leave off? Oh yesssssss... :3"
-
1:46, 42 scenes, 5,322,744. Skipped the puzzles. There's a few good dodgems in here, but I think I still prefer stage+boss :V

Welp, beat level spoiler.
That was like not hard in the slightest.

- "Sylphae Horn High Level" No Death / Bomb Timeout, along with various others in the same run. Don't expect an upload until April
- Perfect Momi No Vert
- Perfect ~*~PMBS~*~ No Vert from the 16 second mark by sheer luck
- Aya's 2nd Non-Spell Timeout No Vert
- Kanako's opener No Vert (this is seriously overblown in difficulty)
- "Divining Crop" No Vert (and very, very fun)
- "Source of Rains" No Vert
- "VoW-*bang*
- "Moreya's Iron Ring" No Vert
I was bored on Sunday so I went No Vert in MoF (Stages 4, 6 and Extra) and did that. The Extra run failed because I was a derpsicle and tried to cap "Mishaguji-Sama"; and completely forgot that dodging is really difficult from the center (if not downright impossible unless you move to the side).

Extra unlocked. :D

Right. I'm like super slow at DS apparently. 1 hour 30 minutes. All of level 1, 2, 3 and 4 cleared with a score at about 3 million.
Having had issues with not being able to find out where replays are saved made me not wanna proceed beyond as i wouldn't be able to save replays without deleting old ones.
Its not like i'm having trouble with the low level scenes though. The game is just so much fun that i feel inspired to play the same scenes again and again and again to try and get better scores at them. Something that didn't happen to me with the original StB.
The music is nice and fresh, the graphics are gorgeous and even easy patterns like everything in levels 1,2,3 and 4 are fun to play. It seems this game is gonna be a blast!!!

Is it a problem to memorize things about spells in this type of Touhou game? You pick spells from the menu and you can try again and again till' you solve the puzzle. Then you'll never have to do it again. What's the problem? I understand that you hate memorizing in the main games because i do so as well but this is a StB type game. Its meant to have patterns that need you to figure out a way to capture them!

Welp, 100 scenes cleared on my first day. Was hoping for a full clear in a single day, but that seems too ambitious given that I have school in the morning. :ohdear: Ah well, still not too bad I suppose.

91 here with 20 and a half million points.
I'm out for the day.

Just completed Stage 7 in DS. I also just found out that pressing X swaps you do vertical mode. That would have made most of Stage 6 so much easier :V

I dare post something that's not DS-related.
EoSD Hard 1cc (MarisaA). (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7697)
Got this more quickly than I thought. Ending was pretty tense though (cleared 0/0). I was also under the impression that I was using Vsync at the time, but I found out later that I wasn't. Still can't get it to work, really.
Also, PCB Hard clear (MarisaA), 1 continue used. (http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/7889/31110pcbhardmodeclear.png)
First try, got up to Yuyuko's first spell before continuing. Needless to say, Stage 5 + Youmu kicked my ass hard. I feel like I can get this one too, just need a little more practice in a few sections.
-
Luigi
Super Tengu Sisters. Hehe.
-
GYA HA HA HA.
Hatatatatatatatatatata
and her faster charge allowed me to finally sock it to 3-4, which humiliated me last night from me trying to do it the worst way possible for 2 hours before I was told the correct way to do it. With Luigi tengu I pulled it off this method in about 5 tries. Also I captured a few more scenes, such as Ghost Town.

There. (http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g229/Krimsun_Munkey/Untitled-61.png) Now if you'll excuse me, I have a long-postponed date with my statistics textbook.

Cleared everything up to Level 7 within another hour.
Yuugi is so damn hard :/
-
Cleared everything up to Stage 6 with only a little effort. Cleared Stage 6 with some effort. Good to see that I still hate Yugi.
Whatever ZUN was drinking when he made this game, he should buy it in bulk - some of these spells are laugh-out-loud hilarious.
Anyway, I want to clear as many cards as I can without being spoiled on how to do them. Considering most of the EX cards looked like sick jokes while I was half-asleep last night, this could take some doing.

FUCK YES VoWG Lunatic captured! (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=7724)
1/57 history, beats my goal of capturing it in less than 100 tries. Seriously, Vsync is one of the greatest things to ever happen to Touhou. MoF feels sooooo much more comfortable with it.
Oh, and please ignore the complete and utter fail during the rest of Kanako. Not like I was supposed to be playing the rest seriously anyway. :V
-
Slowpoke here! Went through all scenes in level 5 today. Mostly piece of cake but interesting cards to figure out. Especially that one with the fists. 5-8 was very fun too.

Only 10-7, 10-8 and 12-3 remaining in DS.
Haven't figured these out yet, except for 10-8, which is just dodging.
Extra was not that bad surprisingly. It looked very intimidating at first glance, but it was reasonably easy in the end.
And you know what's the best part?
My score is already over 30 million. :V
-
Captured everything in level 6. I now have 6,041,918 points. Fun game except for 6-5 which sucks if you want score but is okay if you're just going for a capture.
I'm gonna call it a day for DS though. FFXIII awaits. :)

Dawww you guys. But hey, you can still be the first to clear all 99 regular scenes with Hatate. Personally I'd rather cover myself in honey and jump into a pit of grizzly bears than go through everything again with her. Anyway, 'grats to both of you too.
@Jaimers: Holy hell. Were you actively trying for score?

Damn, Marisa is HARD. Gameovered first on Tewi's first nonspell, then on Apollo 13. Interestingly, I captured Astronomical Entombing on the first try and made it to under 10 seconds in Hourai Elixir.
IN will take quite some work, I tell ya.
-
@Jaimers: Holy hell. Were you actively trying for score?
I always went for the pretty picture but I never really did any hardcore score grinding.
That being said, I just did that for the first 4 stages and got myself another million points.

Had a few minutes this morning. Used them to capture 7-1. Please don't let everything from here on be like this! I wanna dodge bullet patterns. Not laser patterns! Turns out there was a fairly simple strategy to deal with the snake-lasers on phase 2... maybe it weren't so bad after all... I still don't like that kind of stuff though.
Didn't you once say you played Touhou instead of doing your homework in one of your videos?
Hmm... i actually think he did. In fact, he said it to me in a comment iirc. I was pretty poor at Touhou back then (Normal mode player) but he had played the games less than i had but had become lunatic. I asked him if he didn't have much else to do with his time to which the response was something along the lines of "I could study but that's boring".
Maybe bjw just got more serious about his homework! :)

Not Touhou, but a very nice day "practicing" with Danamakufu (really need to buy STB and DS)

@5:07 AM:
YEEAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7782)
---[one adrenaline crash later]---
Looking back at this and my other extra clear (PCB), they're just about polar opposites. My PCB clear is full of random hijinx and lucky dodges that shouldn't have been necessary, and the fact that I won just sorta came out of left field. For this one, when I made stupid mistakes I died, and the few close scrapes were successful because of skill or experience; aside from Subterranean Rose, there was very little that I hadn't already seen and planned for.
...I think that means I've been getting better?

More Double Spoiler!
I've managed to trivialize about half the cards so far. Well, half the cards up through Level 6 at least.
Especially 4-6, where I just sat in the lower left the whole time
.
-
Up to 95/99 for Hatate captures in DS. At this point, the remaining scenes aren't so simple as to repeat what was done with Aya, as three are incomplete due to inferior range (9-1 Satori Noncard, 9-7 Seamless Recollection, and 10-4 Iku Stars), and the last is incomplete due to inferior camera size (Ex-7 Ninja Reimu).
On the flipside, 9-4 Genetics of the Heart gets my award for the scene most simplified by Hatate. Trying not to get screwed by that card as it goes on for nine fucking photos is shit, and Hatate's superior recharge makes the card go by so much more quickly that it's much less significant of an issue. Photo history for Aya is 334, while Hatate cut it down to 20.
And yes, I know there's translated spell names on the wiki.
Edit: okay, underestimated her range just a tad, and knocked out the Satori scenes. I screw up a lot of 10-4 pics with Aya though, so there's no way that's going to go well with Hatate.
Edit again: 99/99 (http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g229/Krimsun_Munkey/Untitled-62.png) I am Super Player! (http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g229/Krimsun_Munkey/KrimisSuperPlayer.png) Good crap I've been playing this too much.

just capped 11-5. which was PATHETIC. Only the middle long laser thing matters, cause it's aimed at you, just move left and right accordingly to it's spawn and the blue spread bullets. But this means I have 51 capped, just 1 more for extra :V

Daaamn, great work. Now do it again on Lunatic.
As for an accomplishment... 12 shots for 10-8 as Hatate (http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/2785/stb108h.jpg). I'm trying out some of the scenes I had problems with as Aya for the sake of comparing the characters (10-8 was the last one I cleared with her) and, well, yeah. Being awake probably helps too.

Got it in 7 by staying right on top of the "circle" - Hatate is horribly broken for most stuff, to be honest, obviously the game is balanced around Aya. Even in some situations where you need range, you can go "defensive shot -> move forwards -> pretty much instant recharge -> take picture" with Hatate.

StB 85/85 (http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g229/Krimsun_Munkey/Untitled-65.png)
The fatty lasers used in 10-4 need to die in a fire. Stupid clipshit combined with luckshit in not getting walled (and by "walled", I mean "oh hey a hole bigger than my visible hitbox I'll just waltz right throu- *clipped")

I too sit among those to beat Spoiler level.
Is it just me, or is Spoiler really, really easy for being the final, true battle?

You're going against Shou Minamimoto; what did you expect? :p
She is a boss that i usually consider to be utter crap with the lovely exception of Radiant Treasure Gun which is fun as the only thing. Her DS appearance was annoying as all hell, Nazrin certainly outclassed her in terms of entertainment. Then level 8 came... I loved all but 8-6. That just goes to show that Orin is better than Shou, as if i didn't know that already!
Progress on DS: I'm working on Level 9 and i have captured 1 of Koishi's and all of Satori's. I hated 9-7. Peerless Wind God reincarnated SoB. And i was looking forward to it. Utsuho's stuff was much more fun. And Orin's as well.
-
(10-4) Stupid clipshit combined with luckshit in not getting walled (and by "walled", I mean "oh hey a hole bigger than my visible hitbox I'll just waltz right throu- *clipped")
Very much this. However, I never had a problem with the fat laser, even when doing (attempted) scoring runs against 10-4.
Score more plz (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=427&u=12803292) (hint hint) :V
-
You know what? I didn't realize the benefits of tilting the camera before now... maybe that knowledge would've made 9-7 more managable. I just need Scene 9-4 now and then its on to level 10.

It's mostly easy, except for SP-9, which is... well, it was a rage festival. But at least it wasn't stupidly impossible.
That's for going for 108/108.
-
Spoiler stage beaten. I have to say that
the photographing being used as a weapon against you
was a fairly awesome gimmick.
And now to go back and actually try to capture some cards from stages 8-12.
-
Hatatetatetatetatetate.
Yay!
-
90/108 in DS so far.
Level 10 is the worst ;-;
Also, Nue's glitched spellcard that randomly kills you for no reason (it's not just at the beginning either, folks) is making me rage. Having the game go "u die now lul" at me on the last/2nd last photo out of nowhere... its really annoying. D;
-
Level 10 is the worst ;-;
I find 10 to be the easiest of the 9-12 bunch :V
Now, playing 10-5 for score.... that should be interesting.
Also, did anyone else find it amusing that Double Spoiler ranks Iku above Tenshi?
-
Parts of Stage 10 are pretty hard, but for the most part it's not that bad. Having said that, though... try 10-4 with Hatate. <____< Not fun.
-
92/108 now. Other people don't find lv10 really mean? D:
I've only got two captured on Lv10; I've capped all, or all but one, in every other Level except for

12 (2 uncapped since Nue's card WON'T STOP GLITCHKILLING ME)

This is probably the best run I'll be able to get today, so I'm leaving it here.
MoF Stage 4 Lunatic, 1DNB stage portion. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7978) (ignore the terribad Aya fight)
Died during the post-Momiji part because I messed up a cutback (this one will take some more work). And you know how everyone goes up to left during the first "danmaku waterfall"? Well, I didn't. :V
Also, Peerless Wind God, 2 for 5. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7979) I don't care if I got lucky, this still surprised me.
-
I finally finished Stage 8 and moved onto Stage 9. I decided to check out 9-7 and see what the big deal was about.
ahahahahahahahahahaha
EDIT: Also, how does one unlock Hatate? I've been wondering this for a while, does she come with a certain amount of Scenes cleared or something?

You have to clear the entire Spoiler level. You unlock that level by getting at least 52 scenes cleared, with at least three of them in Extra.
And speaking of which, I unlocked Hatate
yesterday.
(Plus I don't know which parts count as Double Spoiler spoilers so I'm just spoilering everything :V )

Scene 10-2 (StB) completed with a score of 0.
Why would you do that to yourself.
I'm not talking about difficulty here - StB 10-2 is simply the least fun thing ZUN has ever made, including curvy lasers and StB 10-4.
-
PCB Extra, no deaths until the 7th nonspell (one deathbomb used in the stage portion), a new personal best when it comes to latest "first death" (sorry, it's late, I can't think of a better wording). Not my best overall, but I'm getting there. Still haven't captured Izuna Gongen though...
-

Yes, 10-2 is utter garbage, particularly the last wave (or even the last 2). I did it because I got bored :V
And just then, I've now broken 24mil for total score by redoing 9-4 and getting 681k. Which in itself isn't that bad.

Beat Level 9 in DS. Level 9 sucked balls. Not only is it home to 9-4. That girl should be raped by Rinnosuke. Then she'll learn how it is to get someones DNA fired at you.
Level 8 was so much more fun and as it seems, level 10 is fun as well. There is only 2 scenes left for me there.

Complete opposite for me. 9 and 11 outright own 8, 10 and probably even 12. Embryo Dream, Brain Fingerprint, Full Sakura Blizzard (yes, especially this) are a lot of fun, as opposed to stuff like Tenshi's first attack (perfect timing goddamnit), Kaname Tunnel (took me half an hour, believe it or not), Lightning Fish is the new epitome of clipdeath, and Okuu's luck-based spells (Septentrion should've been in the Tutorial section). Orin is the actual gem of Lv.8, though.

PCB Stage 3 Hard perfect run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7986)
Thank God that I'm not as prone to stupid mistakes on this level as I am on later ones, otherwise I'd really be concerned. I can only hope that the Supernatural Borders can protect me long enough in a 1cc attempt.
EDIT: PCB Hard 1cc (MarisaA). (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7988)
Not nearly as bad as I thought, despite several derp deaths (and one instance on Youmu's last card where the game failed to register a bomb aghagh). I really need to stop worrying about these things.
-
99/99 as Hatate.
Everything seems much easier as Hatate except for a few select scenes, which are harder or just plain annoying.
10-4 didn't give me too much trouble thankfully.
Also, new scores for both characters! (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=5346.msg287198#msg287198)

Also 99/99 as Hatate .

Touhou 06 Hard 1CC.
This was by far the "Hard" hardest 1CC.
I've 1CC'ed IN and MoF on Lunatic and they were a joke compared to this. Fuck you Patchouli.

Never again.
Never, ever, again.
Nearly lost my sanity.
-
IN Hard (Final B) 1cc (Border Team) (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7989), cleared 0/0.
My God. I'm beginning to question if I even like this game anymore. And I haven't even done Lunatic yet. The Marisa fight is stupidly hard (hence my prolific bombing), so much so that I'm still considering picking up Remilia solo for future plays just to avoid her.
It was my first time playing against Kaguya on Hard though, so I can give her some more slack despite doing badly at her (though I still would've been pissed if I gameovered). Time will tell if I'll warm up to her attacks (if I even play them again, that is).
Regardless, that's all five of the main games that I own 1cc'd on Hard. And I'm not gonna think about touching IN Lunatic for a while.

My first attempt at EoSD Lunatic. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7991) Gameovered on boss-Meiling, but includes a perfect Stage 1 and a 1DNB Cirno battle. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Cirno supposed to be the hardest Stage 2 boss before Kogasa?
Feels pretty good to be legitly trying out some of these games' Lunatic Modes (even if I'm not officially a Lunatic player yet). I've been waiting 4 months for this.

Cirno is probably the easiest Windows stage 2 boss aside from Parsee actually.
Keep working on Lunatic though. Beating most of them is mostly a matter of learning how to handle the stage portions properly and not wasting your bombs. :)

That's Chen. Friggin' Kimontonkou. Mystia's last noncard alone makes her harder than Cirno (ZUN you bastard).
-
Eh, thought I read somewhere that Cirno was harder. I think I only tried Chen once on Lunatic, don't remember how I fared. And couldn't you just unfocus to get rid of Mystia's familiars (some of them, anyway)?
-
You can still get a bad run on the nonspell like that.
I find her spell before that one to be much worse than the final nonspell. It's an autobomb for me unlike the nonspell which is about even on whether I end up bombing it or not.
Cirno's difficulty is mainly the opener and Hailstorm. I haven't captured Lunatic Hailstorm yet.
-
I haven't captured Lunatic Hailstorm yet.
I have!
But I always die and die and die and die and die and die and die and die and die and die and die and die and die and die and die and die and die and die and die and die and die and die and die and die and die on Cirno's very first non spell.
-
Speaking of Stage 2's, PCB Stage 2 Lunatic perfect run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7994)
That's not to say I got this right away. I could tell I got lucky with Kimontonkou. Oddly enough, my history suggested I captured it my first go-around too (in Story Mode, of course). I wouldn't rule out a broken border then, but for the life of me I can't remember if I did use one.
And I think I've regained my drive to "learn attacks". I was beginning to fear I lost it while playing IN recently (what a time to lose it :V), but PCB Stage 2 was just the ticket to bring me back to my old self.
-
Spell captures are nullified by broken borders as much as they're nullified by bombs or deaths, so if your history says you captured it before, you captured it before.
-
Ah, didn't know that. I always considered broken borders as separate from capturing a card. Probably didn't help that I never paid attention for any sort of connection they might share.
-
Captured everything up to and including level 11 plus a few scenes in level 12. Nue's knife attack was crazy but with cheering and support from my classmates i managed to pull it off. Great experience, mainly because i had people watching me as i played.
Am I the only one who absolutely adores 9-4? I think it's incredibly easy and fun :V
Well i absolutely despised it. The dodging involved is incredibly easy but i find the DNA strang to be hopelessly unpredictable. Add to that the fact that you have to take 9 photos. I never liked scenes where you had to take many photos. It usually just needs to a lot of unnecessary repeats of the same thing over and over again because of dying at the final shot.
It took me 992 photos to capture it and i got really lucky on that capture. Nothing in the game has so far been anywhere near as time consuming and annoying. Up to and including level 11. I haven't been to level 12 and EX or spoiler yet.
Never again.
Never, ever, again.
Nearly lost my sanity.
Ah, you got struck with the Peerless Wind God Mk.2 treatment. Condolences...
-
992 ? I ragequitted at about 80 tries / 240 photos.
I don't want to see those fscking ceilings and DNAs again.
Now, am I the only one who absolutely adores 9-6 ? For a 10-Photo scene it's incredibly easy and charming BV
-
Well i absolutely despised it. The dodging involved is incredibly easy but i find the DNA strang to be hopelessly unpredictable.
When the DNA pattern bounces on a wall, it will immediately head towards the Koishi (traveling at the angle between the bounce point and Koishi's position).
That said, you still have to take too many photos and it's a pain in the fucking ass failing on the last picture.
-
Joining the DS rampage with 6 clears left for EX-stage. Also, capped Merciless Ceiling ver. Satori! Hooray!

EoSD Stage 2 Lunatic perfect run. (http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/7554/eosdstage2lunaticperfec.png)
Spent more time learning how to stream the first half of the stage than get past Cirno. Maybe it's because I have a specific way of misdirecting her opener, but the first attack usually isn't that bad for me (though it depends on where Cirno moves afterwards, of course). And I honestly don't see what's so hard about Lunatic Hailstorm.
-
Good job. That goddamned opener is what still keeping me from perfecting that Stage 2.
-
Got up to Vampire Illusion (Lunatic) before gameovering without continues. Almost had her health depleted too, but she had to move way right...
At least I can practice the other stages now.
-
Good job. That goddamned opener is what still keeping me from perfecting that Stage 2.
Misdirect first wave. Microstream second and third. Stream. I almost always have her down before she repeats.
-
It took 702 photos before I managed to pull it off, but 7-1 is finally beaten!
And with that, level 7 is now done. Onwards to the four cards I have left in level 8, I guess.

I kinda want to see it to see the best way to go through UFO.
-
PCB Stage 3 Lunatic, perfect stage portion with MarisaA (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7995) (Alice wasn't, so ignore that).
At the end of the stage, I started streaming attacks to the left for some reason instead of trying to keep up with the greater fairies. I survived, though I don't want to try that again.
But holy crap, so this is Lunatic Mode...
-

No UFO 1cc should be possible (for me), but I'm not going to bother. Reason being, it's makes for a bad score. And I actually enjoy scoring in UFO; it's actually fair complex and not just all about memorization (believe it or not). And yes, I'm also discretely implying there are memorization elements (as to most scoring systems in games).
Replay? Because I didn't save it, you'll have to imagine my current SanaeB scoring (http://score.royalflare.net/th12/replay12/th12_ud060a.rpy) attempt without the stupid deaths / deathbombs / bombs and scoring bombs. Well, you can imagine the stupid deaths in it and still probably get the same results.
Alternatively, the OP should give you more or less an idea as well.

Have an SA Extra run (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8007). Not a clear, but my best to date. I still can't read the heart bullets worth shit (AGHAGH), but I got past Youkai Polygraph for the first time (captured it too). Gameovered on Genetics of the Subconscious, no surprise there. That card's gonna be a pain in the ass to learn.
-
I currently have all of the stages up to 10-1 beat in DS...Took me over 400 attempts for 9-8. good lord. It's kind of a stupid card really. I mean I thought it was fun and all, but the difficulty really changed for me by starting the last shot differently (not the actual shot, but rather when you take a shot of the 4th shot, it heavily influences the 5th shot making it either snore or BS... I happened to be replicating a pattern that would make the first 4 shots easy for me, and screw my ass over on the last shot. I spent hours repeating it over and over (well only 2 hours, but given my total time played is 6...yeah...), only to watch a video finally in desperation, and watch this guy manipulate it so the 5th shot had an 'easy wave' so to speak)..
Anyway it's a fun card regardless I think.
9-4 wasn't fun. It wasn't very hard but it wasn't fun. that "never again" card is MAD hard, but with 3 shots, you can just kinda sit there charging and instead of actually trying to play like a pro, just keep charging and cross your fingers, with only 3 shots you actually don't have to get THAT lucky make it. Just don't panic and move around all over because that increases the chance of flying into a bullet =P.
Anybody find that 7-x in general was more difficult than 8-x and 9-x? 8x and 9x had a hard spellcard or two, but I found t hat 7x had 4.
Is there a significant jump in difficulty at some point by general opinion to the people that completed the whole game? just curious.
-
Nah ... I think 7-x is still easy. The only ones that involve planning are Hungry Tiger and Earth Mandala. The rest is pure skill.
The difficulty suddenly jumped at Lv.8, though. I've cleared 3 Extras and ~20 SCs of 9, 10, 11, 12, but I still couldn't beat two of Okuu's spell cards.
Lv.9 has only two cards I'd consider "fun". Embryo because it requires 10 photos, isn't very hard, and has a bunch of patterns (similar are Ten Kings and Sanae's EX-9. I love these). Kinkaku-ji, despite the bulletspam, only requires 3 shots so I almost never found myself raging at it.
If only the game had more SCs like these.

Okuu??! that was one of the easiest characters of all for me. only one of them took 100 attempts (and even then it was like 104), the rest were like 20.
I really get a kick out of how different people are at Touhou when it comes to what's hard and easy, totally surprises me every time.
I found 7-2 to be particularly difficult. I don't know the name.

54 million in DS. (http://i1013.photobucket.com/albums/af255/AHugeBattleship/StB2SC2.jpg) And this time, no sleep was sacrificed. Still some scenes I haven't fully exploited (like 9-4 because I hate it), but otherwise I'm getting pretty far into diminishing returns territory here.
Funnily enough considering I wasn't thrilled with the 12.5 announcement, I just checked my UFO records and realised I spent more time with StB2 on day 1 than I have with UFO since its release (19 hours vs 17).
Anybody find that 7-x in general was more difficult than 8-x and 9-x? 8x and 9x had a hard spellcard or two, but I found t hat 7x had 4.

Nope, not really. 7-x and 8-x weren't generally too bad, but 9-x could well be the hardest level in the game behind 12-x IMO. Though it's sometimes interchangeable with 10-x depending on my mood.
As for the difficulty spike, if you've gotten through 9-x without too much suffering, you've survived probably the most significant jump. Though you've still got bits of 10-x/most of 12-x to worry about, plus the occasional scene from 11-x/EX.

Captured DS 9-7. And it took me less than 200 tries.
:toot:
-
'Congratulations. You have cleared hard, you can now put 'good at danmaku games' on your resume'.
Woohoo MoF hard 1cc, I knew I could do it, just kept giving up and the not trying for ages. But I finally did it. Stage 6 went so well, perfect bomb timing as I practiced, but it went wrong on the 2nd to last spellcard where I died twice (once by moving all the way to the other side and there was still a bullet there from 2 waves ago). But I did decent on VoWG, finished with 0 lives and 0,20 power :V
edit: Oh and I captured Illusionary dominance with ease, those 464 tries in DS were good for something!

Okay, 98/108 pictures captured in DS! Thank god 12-6 stopped glitching on me <3
Ones left are 8-7, 9-8, 10-3/7/8, 11-7, and EX-5/7/8/9

Notable spell card captures of late:
Kanako's Mountain of Faith
Marisa's Earth Light Ray
Two of Kaguya's spell cards which I promptly forgot. I need to watch the replay :V
Ex-Keine's Returning-Bridge Ichijo
Also got very close to capturing Marisa's Final Spark and Reisen's Tele-mesmerism.
Best finish of IN yet with 3 lives and 3 bombs remaining.
Got my farthest in IN's extra stage, where I reached Mokou's Honest Man's Death and died twice WITH EXTREME HONESTY.

Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat.
I captured Danmaku Bounded Field, Total Purification, and whatever the Lunatic version of Rainbow Danmaku is (I forgot). It's going in my list of great memories of Touhou.
Though, it's taking me some time to capture Virtue of Wind God. *goes to try MoF again*
-
SA Extra, perfect up to Rorschach in Danmaku, despite not clearing the stage again.
Um, yay?
-
UFO Easy 1CC with MarisaA get.
That ending was weird.
-
SA Lunatic clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8036), all right!
4 months coming, this was. SA was my first Touhou game (I was inspired by Kefit's SA Stage 6 Lunatic NDNB video), so it feels good to finally be playing this on Lunatic myself (even if I'm not that good at it yet).
You'll note that both Stage 5 and 6 are on this replay. Yeah, I beat Utsuho on my first try. Get at me. :V
-
Finally unlocked Hatate in DS.
-
Tried a No Bombs run of SA Stage 4 on a whim. 1DNB the stage portion (those $&*#ing green amulets ...), TWO misses on Hypnotism, one on DBDB and one on Flying Insect's Nest.
Then I proceeded to capture BoWaP which made me go BV . How come that thing's sooo much slower than before ?
Oh, and finished with 5 lives, something I couldn't even pull off last week. Looks like I've got my skills back :V
-
Should have called it a Shoucase, though.
*thwack*
I'm in despair! (http://score.royalflare.net/th12/replay12/th12_ud0645.rpy) This UFO scorerun with MarisaB by Ameri has left me in despair!

Captured RTG Lunatic yesterday out of nowhere. So 1/81 or something.
-
1.337 million on DS 12-7. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8043) Decent improvement over my previous score, and I'm pleased with this considering how inherently bad I am at this scene. It can still be improved upon, but then that's always the case.

This game is pretty lenient. I never bothered to learn any of the cards or stages and still made it.
Failed the spell rush at the very first card, WOOOO! \o/

SA Stage 4 Lunatic, green amulet streaming section "captured". (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8045)
At least I've finally confirmed that my general method for doing this part does work (it also sets me up appropriately for the lasers that follow). And to think I've been using variations of this movement pattern since Normal Mode.
The whole of the stage portion was technically no-deaths, but I approached both Orin fights in a pseudo-scorerunning way (don't know if it's optimal) to save myself from the utter randomness.
And is it just me, or does BoWaP have the exact same pattern (ignoring the speed difference) on Hard and Lunatic?
EDIT: SA Stage 6 Lunatic 2DNBNG (no gapping) run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8046)
Only died on Peta Flare and Subterranean Sun. But holy crap, how am I already this good at Stage 6? I just unlocked it yesterday.
EDIT #2 (geez stop already): SA Stage 4 Lunatic 2D1B run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8047)
Perfect stage portion (for the first time) and first half of Satori (also for the first time). Deathbombed once on DBDB (AGHAGH DBDB), and died once each on FIN and BoWaP. I really gotta stop messing up the latter, geez.

PCB Lunatic clear (MarisaA), 3 continues used. (http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/5903/32110pcblunaticmodeclea.png)
Another one down. Got to Youmu's second nonspell before gameovering.
And holy crap Resurrection Butterfly just got hard.
EDIT: Resurrection Butterfly -80% Reflowering-, 2-deaths. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8049)
My current best out of the few tries I've made. Though after dying the first time, the first of four sets of red butterflies got canceled, so I can't say I've faced the whole thing yet.
-
One What the fuck post coming up.
ND1B (http://score.royalflare.net/th12/replay12/th12_ud064a.rpy) Byakuren. A decent terrible scoring 1cc to boot (sans mistakes ofc).
Let this be a lesson to all:
Never throw away "garbage" runs, always see them through to the end.
You may, or may not be surprised.
-
I don't know why i keep going back to UFO. Maybe i hope that i will eventually start liking it. That can happen. In any case, i have done something spectacular! Or at least something cool.
Sinkable Vortex Lunatic timeout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gBageFb-v8)
Murasa is turning into a semi-decent boss. She is still worthless compared to those kickass S4 bosses like Marisa or Satori but at least she is more fair than Patchouli because she doesn't use bullets with way bigger hitbox than you are used to.
Oh and that part in the end of the timeout... that was totally 100% skillful dodge. No luck involved at all. All planned! 8)
-
Perfected SA Extra (actually, one bomb after Sanae) up to the non-spell after Rorschach because I went over the POC to collect that fragment and WHAM. That was actually a deathbomb, but I messed up Freudmaku right after that. Finished with 5 lives. SA is no longer a threat to me BV
... But Orin still is.
-
So I tried Reimu B against Virtue of Wind God.
No Deaths, but one Deathbomb.
-
UFO Easy 1CC with MarisaA get.
That ending was weird.
Finally hit this myself last night, after yet another clipdeath on DR left me 0/2. Then captured Fantastica out of nowhere.
-
Vajra timeout.
I think I've "seen the light" on this one.
I agree, it's not that bad.
I think my problem was that I was focusing too much on the lasers.
That, and the fact that I seemed to "wait up" for the lasers before. I think it's easier if you just keep going...?
"RTG" seems pretty easy as well suddenly, hmm.
I'll have to look into this more.
I still want to figure out a way to dodge the end of stage orbs that isn't complete luckgarbage. :<
EDIT:
Just timed it out again. TWICE.
Yup, this is the easiest thing ever.

Vajra timeout.
I agree, it's not that bad.
It's her second easiest card -- once you learn how to read it, it becomes an easy 80%+ capture. I've a harder time on RTG and Clarification, and they're not even that bad. It's those damn non-spells that shake me around a bit and throw off my game for the spellcards >: |
I think I've "seen the light" on this one.
ihu >:(
-
UFO Extra no deaths, no bombs, no UFOs (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8051). :dragonforce: Will be uploaded to YouTube later. Of the Windows Extras, that just leaves Suwako and Mokou to perfect, neither of which I'm looking forward to.
This is... the first time I've actually tried to do something in Touhou since early January? Mainly because of UFO Lunatic completely burning me out. Still, that was a lot of fun, and easier than I remembered. Could be fun seeing how my newly gained DoDonPachi skills transfer over to Touhou. :V
-
"Vajra of Perfect Buddhism" no focus timeout using Marisa. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8052)
Took 5 attempts. Weeeee~
Could be fun seeing how my newly gained DoDonPachi skills transfer over to Touhou. :V
You now have EXTREME STREAMING SKILLS! :V
-
EXTREME STREAMING
EXTREAMING
But seriously, I'm definitely far more comfortable with flying around the screen unfocused like a lunatic madman, and fast attacks in general. :V
-
And you deathbomb much better :V
-
I just captured Vajra myself again. But it almost turned into a timeout. I think this card wouldn't be any bad at all if this was IN and had spell practice. Its obviously a card that requires you to know what you are doing. Its not so much reading the bullets that gives me problems. Its much more about the redirection of the lasers. It screws me over often.
Also, captured everything in DS Level 12 and EX except for EX-2. Reimu's EX cards were pretty easy but her Dropkick thing was very tough. Unfortunately it happened way too often that the camera didn't get all of the walls in the shot and thus left me with a 10% of making it through the gap between the amulets. I actually pulled that off quite often while trying for it. Gotta luv dem amulets. I can only do it vertically though.
EDIT: Finished Spoiler level. Now i only need to beat EX-2 and i'll be done with this excellent game. I was very pleased with the final scene in Spoiler level. So epic, so cool, so all that is positive. It was quite easy though but still awesome. The level gimmick was also very interesting.
EDIT 2: Beat EX-2. DS all clear with Aya. I don't think i wanna bother with Hatate though.
-
Captured 11-1, discovering Hatate's wonderful scoring technique. 1mil points with no dodging at all, lol
-
After TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY NINE PICTURES, I finally captured EX-5.
Now I have fully cleared DS with Aya. I CAN REST IN PEACE :ohdear:
...or at least update my text adventure again. Maybe later.

2.12 million on Playstation Nue. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8064) Awesome run where I nailed pretty much every photo. Did this yesterday, but I'm uploading it now in case there's a high score topic (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=5346.msg291236#msg291236) issue over it. It's over 5% slowdown due to the FPS dip during the photo flash combined with lots of defensive photo-taking. The entire thing was at 60FPS when the game was actually moving (except for a second at the start), so... yeah, it's legit as far as I'm concerned.
-
Grr argh die Nue you Sony fan. >:(
Doing some random PCB playin', I both captured Lily and survived the part after her without dying or bombing. With Marisa A's magic missiles that section is trickiest with her.
-
PCB Extra 2D1B run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8068)
Died only on 12 General Gods and Kokkuri-san's Contract, and deathbombed Charming Siege.
And I finally captured Izuna Gongen, hooray! That makes a capture for all of Ran's spells. Next stop, Phantasm clear!
-
YES YES YES YES YES YESSSSS!!!!
FINALLY IVE FUCKING 1CC'D SOMETHING
Yeah it was IN on easy modo but... :V I also finished with 6 lives. Last time I played this I didn't know how to auto collect items, and now I do the extra lives just come flooding in on this version lol.
Might try and 1cc it on normal given that. :/ I proper failed at kaguyas survival card but whatever, I had her beat by then anyway :V GOOD ENDING OH YES IT FEELS GOOD TO GET STORYLINE
-
Ive been into touhou for like a year, for me yes this is an acomplishment its taken a fucking eternity to get good enough just to do that :V
Still haven't completed ESoD, I haven't 1cc'd PCB, IN (woo i have now) PoFV I've had a good ending with sakuya but I swear I used a continue on yamaxanadu, MoF SA and UFO I can get to the boss but not complete them :/ on easy as well, lol.
Acomplishments are all relative really though, Touhou is the first schmup I ever played, and I dont get a chance to play it often. (but listen to the music litterally everyday)
-
You call that an accomplishment?
At least I 2cc'd Lunatic on PCB. (1 continue, if you don't know)
Don't be so mean, everyone has to start somewhere.
Went and got to 70 scene clear with Hatate. Not interested in full clearing with her yet, but I figured I could get a lot of them done at least.
-
You call that an accomplishment?

I suggest that you record it, and go through it frame-by-frame to look at the data that's in it. There's a lot of invulnerability time there, so skip that of course. Well, this depends on whether or not you're interested in the Devil of a Shot Type that is MarisaC.

Just thought I would share this replay (not done by me) with everybody.
UFO Lunatic 1cc with ReimuB (http://score.royalflare.net/th12/replay12/th12_ud065b.rpy), almost a No Bomb but the guy (or girl, but for the argument's sake let's assume male) accidentally hit the bomb button out of uh... habit / panic / w/e. This replay has the guy leaving Stage 3 with one life spare, and finishing up with 5 spare (though, that bomb did end up contributing to it). Unfortunately, the guy also safespots "PSM" but the hilarious thing I found was that he almost died because of not knowing how to safespot it properly.
His comment:
LNB?と言いたいところだけど6面道中で1ボム使っちゃったｗｗ俺にLNBとか無理やったんやー
でも霊符初クリアで残5。ムラサ寅丸ノーノー。ただ3面までは残念すぎますｗｗ
I should also point out that a lot of players are starting to watch my replays (or already have watched); you can see that some of them actually copy my (devised) strats and such. Why some players don't copy all my easy-to-understand strats might be attributed to my somewhat sporadic submissions.
tl;dr This is probably the largest turnabout I've ever seen :V
It almost brought me to tears just seeing him press on and making it through. On the other hand, he might be quite agitated at that single bomb.
While on the subject of replays, coa (http://score.royalflare.net/th12/replay12/th12_ud0560.rpy)'s (MoF specialist) UFO Lunatic No Bomb 1cc from back in January is also an interesting watch, for devising his own little take on things. Another good watch if you don't want to rely on my constant nagging advice :V
Unfortunately, he got caught in the "LFO" chain-kills, which affected the end result.
I'll admit that I actually learnt some useful bits of information from that replay. Now to apply "Logic"TMnot by me and to weave it together for a glorious Survival-Score.

CAPTURED BOTH RADIANT TREASURE GUN AND VAJRA IN THE SAME FUCKING RUN !
Bonus a VERY manly performance at Aura of Justice.
Then I proceeded to clip Complete Clarification TWICE. THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN A NO DEATHS GODDAMNIT.
-
UFO stage 5 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8081)
Everything perfect up to Radiant Treasure Gun, where I died like 5 times.
I then perfect the rest of the fight at 1 power. (2 for CC)
Heh.
Man, RTG is so weird though. Sometimes I do perfect timeouts and sometimes I die on literally every single wave.
Greatest Treasure is actually pretty fun if you aren't going for a capture in mind.
-
UFO Lunatic 1cc with ReimuB (http://score.royalflare.net/th12/replay12/th12_ud065b.rpy), almost a No Bomb
Agghhh that bomb on stage 6!! Noooo! That was really fun to watch. Very impressive seeing one life out of stage three and then max lives at Byakuren. Let's hope jad tries again to fix that silly bomb on stage six, he was so close!
And fuck yes :ufo:
-
Oh wauw.
Radiant Treasure Gun Lunatic Timeout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yILajU5hTcY)
This spellcard is good! A card with those bullet sprites i hate that much? A card with lasers? Still good? Apparently so. I have fun with it in any case.
Then i did another run.
Captured Vajra of Perfect Buddhism at 1xx power. Once again it almost turned into a timeout. I bet it would be easier to time this thing out than to actually capture it because you don't have to stop and shoot. I also captured Complete Clarification in the same run.
The downside of it all is that i died horribly at anything before VoPD. Including Aura of Light/Justice whatever it's called. That spellcard is so boring that i tend to take risks that condemn me to death. I also sometimes experience getting killed by a laser as it is turning off. Those lasers reminds me of Flan's EoSD ones which turns off way before the sprite disappears.
Hitbox differences is also the only thing that keeps me from 1cc'ing EoSD. I lose way too many resources to misreading hitboxes of EoSD bullets.
Short version: I had fun with UFO.

I'd still be second-rate. On the other hand, I am beating the other guy. In more than one field too.

It is plausible to fail at the last non-spell if you don't understand it but i don't get how so many people seem to clip Three Steps so much.

So I randomly decide to play me some MS lunatic, choosing Yuka because seriously screw all the other shot types.
I die with full bombs right before the stage 2 midboss, and I do a similar death at some point in stage 3. The lowered rank made it so I got through stage 4 (I even fought Yuki instead of Mai) and stage 5 with minimal casualties, leading me to 1cc 1/0.
I don't know what the fuck, but this is another lesson to never give up a run.

From yesterday, while playing live, I managed to capture Recitation for the first time ever on normal mode. And today, I capped 30% Reflowering ALSO for the first time, oh yeahhhhhhhhhh \o/

Didn't feel like Touhou today, but still forced myself into PCB practice.
ND1B PCB Stage 2. The only bomb was Chen's 2nd non-spell, because I was out of position for the yellow bullets and paniced. Otherwise that would've been a Perfect. First time I captured her 2nd card as well.
-
SA Stage 6 Lunatic, perfect up to Hell's Tokamak. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8093)
Man, I was in the ZONE for this one. Until I died, of course. 1 death on HT, then 3 on Subterranean Sun (did anyone else have this much trouble getting used to SS's greater speed on Lunatic?). At least I'm seeing improvement somewhere.
-
PCB Normal Stage 2 PERFECT!
(http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8095)
Died like 4 times on that damned 2nd non-spell, but I got it!
Man, I kinda want to go back and find my old rage posts about Chen. Things have finally changed for the better; a Normal 1cc is looking closer and closer...
-
Is it an accomplishment to say that I can 1cc any given Touhou game on Normal with much higher regularity than I could 6 months ago? I hadn't played MoF in a month and I beat it with a life to spare on my first attempt.
Also, Aya's Illusionary Dominance and Mountain God Procession spell card GETS. Take THAT you silly neener-headed doofusface!

PCB 1D1B Yuyuko Lunatic. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8099)
Died on her third card because I suck, and deathbombed her fifth because I failed to cutback properly. No broken borders anywhere during all this, so extrapolating from what I just said...
Resurrection Butterfly -80% Reflowering- captured! I don't know how it happened, but while playing it I just suddenly understood how the red butterflies worked, and then it was on me to make sure I stuck to that strategy.
Pending practice in a couple other areas (Alice and Stage 4), a Lunatic 1cc might be possible.

It sure is! Congratulations! Incidentally, I did the same thing today with SA normal, which used to make me sweat bullets every time I played. I actually cleared stage 5 with more lives than I went in with. :o
-
Is it an accomplishment to say that I can 1cc any given Touhou game on Normal with much higher regularity than I could 6 months ago?
Why not? Well, the only times that it wouldn't be considered an accomplishment* is when:
- You (the person who did said task) don't consider it an accomplishment
- It's something really, really generic like "i grazed my first bullet"
*Take this guideline with a grain of salt.
Incidentally, I did the same thing today with SA normal, which used to make me sweat bullets every time I played.

for the 1cc's.

Is it an accomplishment to say that...
Ultimately, anything is an accomplishment if you feel it was an accomplishment. If you're glad you managed to beat Easy Wriggle with 7 starting lives and you feel accomplished about it, fuck whatever anyone else has to say about it.
Edit: ninja'd by Baity because of my obsession of rererereading my posts.

Konngaratulations is the only appropriate response to any accomplishment.
That said, http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8103 is how you beat EX-7 in DS like a pro. :dragonforce:

I've suddenly become much better at reading first-midboss-Orin's (rather, her corpse spirits') attacks in SA Stage 4 Lunatic. It may be semi-random, but I've learned how important timing is here for when I need to cross through the lines of danmaku - I'm not trying to rush it, and I'm surviving much more frequently.
Also, would I have to answer to Donut if I said my deathbomb reflexes have greatly improved?

You didn't ask for help, but I'll say it anyway. If you haven't tried it, try doing it as I do it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6npxx96hzE4#t=14s). All I'm doing is making counter-clockwise circles at a very natural-feeling speed. I barely do any reading for it anymore, only paying attention to gaps to pass through at "12 o'clock", if that makes sense. The attack went from "wtf is this shit?" to trivial once I started doing that, and I was probably just screwing around and circling around randomly when I discovered it worked.
Moral of the story: if shit ain't working, fuck around. You may just discover the most useful strategy you've ever seen for whatever you're failing.

I pride myself on my deathbombing reflex, I don't claim to be a master at it. :V

I normally do this card by moving in the correct pattern so you can sit in the center of the screen and not have to dodge the red amulets at all, but this works... barely.

Never would have thought to try it like that. I guess I didn't think it would be so helpful to go that far off the bottom of the screen (given how I interpreted the pattern), hence my previous difficulties with the attack.

UFO HARD 1CC - Sanae B
OH MY GOD THIS WAS SO FUCKING HARD TO ACCOMPLISH.
I arrived at Byakuren's last spell with NO LIVES and NO BOMBS.
My hands were shaking as fuck, but I CAPTURED IT and managed NOT TO GET CAUGHT BY A BULLET DURING THE EXPLOSION.
OH MY GOD. I'M HAPPY.
-
Damn, you beat me to it.
Major congrats man.
EDIT:

I find SA's easier than UFO's TBH.
I was thinking about it while I was doing this, since I too find that stage easier, although I do need to pick up on how to do the post-midboss streaming (if I'm going to do that stage, I'm doing it no-gap as well). I have already gotten random awesome runs in against Orin, so that shouldn't be too much of a problem, at the very least not as much as working out Syou. It's definitely something to try for in the future, but for now, with UFO S5 done, I consider this spring break a success.
-
EOSD Extra Clear. Very easy.
-
UFO Normal 1cc with SanaeA (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8107)
Well, that turned out better than I expected it to. Personal high score best plus a 1cc and a perfect Murasa battle. :D
(EDIT: Just checked, Murasa perfect!)
-
AHHHHHHHHH HOLY SHIT GODDAMNIT
...As much as I'm raging, this is still a huge accomplishment for me. On a whim, I was playing some more EoSD Extra no focus/bombs... and then I didn't die for a while. And then I didn't die for a while longer, and then the stage section was over, and then I didn't die some more... and then Q.E.D. happened.
So... yeah. Here's (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8108) a 2DNBNF EoSD Extra, with both deaths on Q.E.D. @_@ Maybe an unfocused perfect isn't as ridiculously difficult as it first seemed.
-
Congrats to Krim on doing the NUFO part in absense of my one (which was only NDNB). Because UFOs are fun stuff guys :V
And now, I present to you Perfect 1DNBNF Syou (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8109). Not inside this, I also perfected the second half of the Stage with 1.xx Power.
:ufo:
EDIT: Krim, hurry up with 1cc'ing with All Shot Types already, MarisaB isn't that bad.
-
[SA Stage 5 is] definitely something to try for in the future...
Maybe the future is sooner than I thought, got a 1DNBNG SA Stage 5 (holding out on the replay because I hope to have a proper run soon enough). But... would anyone like to explain to me why Ghost Wheels is my worst card? I believe I've had three 1-death runs of Orin (not all today, two in past no-bomb 1cc attempts and one now), all of which were on Ghost Wheels. Seriously, fuck that shit.

Yes she is and you know it.

http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8110
MoF extra one death no bombs. The death was at 2 seconds left on Suwa War, even though I got into position correctly. I'm not crying...really. I just have a rice bullet in my eye. :'(

Because it just is. Let's see from what I've experienced with it, Note that there are two distinct methods of going about this Spell Card. One of them is (branded as) the "Kefit method" where you count the wheels and move every even count. The other method is misdirecting each and every wheel away from the center (or just circling around each wheel). It also helps knowing that all the needles move at the same speed (after accelerating). This actually makes it easy to parse the gaps.
...actually, I think I'll give it one attempt No Focus and see if I can actually capture it in such a state :V
EDIT: ...No Focus capture. Welp. No replay because of lol!crash. 100% No Vertical from the bottom of the screen.
Yes she is and you know it.
Haaaaaaauuuuu ;_;

I almost forgot to toss this here.
No Deaths SA Extra (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8078). Koishi is the easiest.

PoFV lunatic match mode, Reimu 2x1 Cirno (http://www.mediafire.com/?4zxyyqiymzy).

I had at least three 1DNBNG runs where the death happened on Ghost Wheels.
I also managed to die three times on Ghost Wheels in my no bombs 1cc AFTER perfecting every other non-trivial thing in the stage.
Yet I still don't consider it to be a very difficult card, nor close to the most difficult thing in the stage. It just has that intangible "fuck you" factor going for it.
-
Man, I remember when everyone considered the post-Momizi stage to be virtually impossible. Now I'm actually clearing it with reasonably consistency. I suppose if there's one thing Cave games taught me, it's U-shaped direction changing. :P

Take that, Foggy London Dolls (and the rest of Stage 3) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_KeWSgyfXY)
Now to clean up the second half of the game ....
-
I play UFO randomly, using Reimu B for a change.
I die 4 times in the first two stages.
I make it all the way to Greatest Treasure.
What. This is why I say UFO's difficulty is overrated, if you can still make it that far after doing so bad.
-

Maybe you should pay a little more attention to my most recent posts. Like this (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=5148.msg295838#msg295838) one As is intrinsic of a Baity!Replay, there's always something ridiculously stupid in said replay
. Or the previous one in this thread why I gave out two replays. Just saying :V
However, I wouldn't say that the game gives out stuff for you. It's more that you have to "work" for it. Well, if you're even the least bit competent then there shouldn't be an issue in the first place.

Did a PCB Lunatic 1cc today. Ended with 6 lives and a score over a billion. Nice.
There was a lot of stupid deaths: Kimontonkou (with bombs in stock), Spring Kyoto Dolls (I usually excel at this card) and Youmu's 2nd non-spell despite capturing not only her 1st non-spell but also Hell God Sword.
Morale of story: Why bother restarting just because of dying in Stage 2? Friend of mine usually suggests getting to stage 4 without losing a life when doing a 1cc... i don't need that.
-
Captured Yukari's "Boundary of Life and Death" for the first time. :D
*dance*
Actually, it wasn't quite as difficult as I remembered it to be...
-
SA Stage 4 Hard perfect run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8122)
Holy crap, this seems so ridiculously easy now. Took all of two tries - died stupidly on the first laser section the first time. But even DBDB didn't seem that bad, surprisingly - I read that PoS like a book, I tell ya.
-
UFO Extra clear, with a spare life.
Best Extra: best music, best spellcards - just fantastic.
-
Just reunlocked Phantasm by playing on Lunatic for the first time.
Game-overed on stage 3 because I captured enough spellcards (and I suck and didn't feel like failing more.)
BUT.
1DNB Chen Lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8123)
The death was at the end of Kimontonkou, to boot.

Reimu 2x1 lunatic Lunasa, seven characters down, almost halfway through!

Do EoSD next. It's a must for fledgling Lunatic players.
-
EoSD is good if you want to rage about BS hitboxes.
PCB makes me rage a lot too. I just have no idea how to do any of it outside of stage 1, and I still don't know how to do Letty's last card either.
SA isn't too bad since it gives you lots of bombs like MoF. There's a reason I've gotten 1ccs of both of those Lunatics.
-
EoSD is good if you want to rage about BS hitboxes.
He has survived Mountain of Clipdeath, he'll be fine, EoSD isn't nowhere near as bad if you learn to respect the bubble bullets. Of course, EoSD is a lot harder than MoF, but I doubt it's harder than PCB with MarisaA and he got through that as well.

Embarassingly enough, I am was. Something about MoF/SA/UFO throws me completely off, though - I can't 1cc UFO hard, and MoF lunatic probably took at least twice as many attempts as EoSD, PCB and IN combined.

Managed to get a full spellcard run of IN Extra, hooray.
I'm still trying to do MoF Normal with no deaths. It seems like every time I try, I die in some stupid way, yet (if I don't quit right there) I manage to do the rest of the game nearly perfectly. I blame Hina.
Maybe I just need a break from it.

There goes my trade secret *cough*
More to the topic at hand, it feels much more satisfying perfecting bosses during a random 1cc (attempt or otherwise). Being able to perfect Ichirin (lol, "KKS" is now pretty easy stuff to read and I'm actually getting consistent ~75% captures), Murasa and Syou all in the same run makes me feel all giddy inside now.
Also, slight preference change in the difficulty of Boss attacks. Most notably, "RTG" is now Syou's hardest attack, yes, even harder than the 2nd Non-Spell. Though, this is a subjective thought, and may or may not be taken as the "(Absolute) Word of God".
I think it's about time I got back to No Focus SA.
Something about MoF/SA/UFO throws me completely off, though - I can't 1cc UFO hard, and MoF lunatic probably took at least twice as many attempts as EoSD, PCB and IN combined.
Hm. I'm most likely wrong here, but it might be the certain Focus / Unfocus Speeds that may be throwing you off. MoF / SA / UFO all have the same speeds, and it would appear that at a first glance that this may be the cause of your difficulty. Just throwing it out there for now. As an alternative, there might be some other factors having an impact such as sprite-hitbox alignment vs. preference, or something else completely different.
-
UFO Hard is, in quite a few parts, on par with other games' Lunatics, just saying. The general difference with the other windows games is that SA and UFO tend to have much faster bullets, so it's more about reflexes imho.
-
Nice!
Do EoSD next. It's a must for fledgling Lunatic players.
Yes and remember to bomb every time you see a bubble so you won't clip it. Seriously, if you are troubled by the fact that the hitboxes are larger then Scarlet Gensokyo becomes 200% impossible, Scarlet Meister being much easier because it doesn't throw a wall of bubbles, combined with Remi's tendency to wall you at several of her attacks. Add to that the rank system that causes trivial things to go insane and you have the reason i haven't 1cc'ed it.
Died at Scarlet Gensokyo despite entering the attack with 1 life and a bomb. What happened? Bubble happened. It certainly wasn't the bullets. Unless a bullet spawns on top of you like in Kefits failed no-focus run.
-
Yay, my first perfect Shou. <3 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8132)
Went into the fight at 2 power. 3 by the time of the last nonspell, so this is pretty nice.
Perfected the stage portion multiple times before, so it's just a matter of combining these two now.
Oh, and a late congrats to Funen1! Welcome to the loony bin! o/

GODDAMNIT NOT YOU TOO
I feel inferior ;_;

Oh God. Where do you get the lungs for a full 40 seconds of pure screaming in RAEG.
-
Did a SA Lunatic 1cc. It would seem that no matter how well i do at practice stage runs i can never transfer that kick-assery to a full game run like with PCB or IN. Well, still won. 2 lives left. The power-bomb system is abusable but abusing it will also bite you in the end. You will end up with 0xx power at Catwalk. Why not? :)
Or how about going against Ghost Wheels at 1xx? Or Hells Tokamak at 0xx? I almost timed it out but i died at the 4 second mark. I also had some deaths at S4 because some fairy wanted to play hero and throw an amulet in my face. Then again, i did that end stage part completely disasterous.
Oh God. Where do you get the lungs for a full 40 seconds of pure screaming in RAEG.
UFO is great practice for this.
-
After unlocking MoF Extra (only took a handful of tries *dances the "I'm getting better" dance*) I reached Suwako on my very first try.
-
Finally got captures of Misayama Hunting Shrine Ritual (Easy) and Miracle of Otensui (Normal).
-
sprite-hitbox alignment vs. preference
I know this is the reason I kept failing BUSY FREAKIN ROD with Sanae, but I'm not sure if that explains failing horribly elsewhere with Reimu. Then again I never really pay attention to hitboxes and rely 100% on a "balanced" sprite - I never bothered to learn any of the PC-98 character hitboxes, and I'm not exactly a PC-98 scrub. Same goes for Dodonpachi where I got a 1-ALL after just a few sparse attempts without having the slightest idea about where the ship's hitbox is.
Then again, regarding SA - I don't think I have attempted more than half a dozen runs, and stage practice is non-existant before stage 5. But MoF has left me somewhat traumatized - Falling Leaves history points to something like forty attempts before I first 1cc'ed it. Even if more than half of these ended up as early ragequits, that's still far, far too much.
For the three people who like PoFV those interested, lunatic match mode victories vs. Cirno (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFEop586Vnw) and Lunasa (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tr23iGwHExM) are up on Youtube.

Double Spoiler. 108/108 with Aya. 97/99 with Hatate.
10-4 and EX-5 to go. Not looking forward to that. I mean, I failed half my 10-4 pictures with Aya, it's nigh-impossible to get a single success with Hatate ;-;

o.o I don't see how anyone can get 108/108 with Aya... But I got 99/99 with Hatate. :/

I finally captured Ran's survival. Too bad I still suck at Boundary of Humans and Youkai and can't even make it to the final part of that one without dying or bombing.
Now I just need to capture Descent of Izuna Gongen to have captured all of PCB Extra's cards.
Edit: Captured Descent of Izuna Gongen. The rest of the run was complete fail though.

LEVEL SPOILER UNLOCKED FINALLY
-
EoSD Lunatic 1cc with MarisaA, finished 2/2 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8142). This is the first part of my 'stop sucking at full game runs' resolution. :V
Strangely enough, Stages 5 and 6 went pretty horribly - the highlight of this run was the ND3B Stage 4, including a ND1B Patchy fight (perfect minus Sylphae Horn High Level). Usually I'm pretty bad at MarisaA Patchy, so pretty proud of that. Could have finished with two or three more lives had I not died with bombs in stock so much (17 bombs in the run total; same number as card captures), so I might improve on this some more.

I tried Ellen once. I died in like 30 seconds in stage 1 lol.
And yeah, I would definitely like to see some Kana and Ellen 1cc's. :munch:
-
Good job Jaimers. PoDD lunatic is too crazy for me to ever consider 1ccing again. @_@ Also, I would watch every second of a Kana 1cc. Why oh why is it so impossible? :<
-
Is it just me, or is Kotohime even worse? Her EX is terrible against bosses and she's pretty fast, and while she probably beats the CPU faster then Kana, at least Kana has great survival ability...

Anyway, I just captured Byakuren's first Spell Card 5 times in a row at some time within the last hour.
-
I did win a round vs. Yumemi in match mode once with Kana. Five minutes, all of the hits were moonslams. :/
(edit: checked the video, actually it's three moonslams and two clusters of spirits crashing straight into Yumemi - the point still stands, though; Kana herself is useless)
Oh and Ellen isn't that bad; I'd say she's the fourth best character, actually.
-
Well, I got my first ever Touhou 1cc, IN on Normal with Reimu+Yukari. On my very next game I died by ramming into a fairy on Stage 1.
I foresee great things in my attempt to get to 6B :V
-
Reimu 2x0 Lyrica. You don't really want to let the rounds drag out against Lyrica,
unless you always dreamed of playing against Komachi and Shikieiki at the same time. (lol overreaction, watched the replays and turns out it's just that I was playing REALLY. REALLY. BADLY.)
That makes it eight out of sixteen. Of course, this being Reimu, it's just a matter of time... except for Marisa who will probably be harder than everyone else combined. Goddamn fast-filling gauge.

I captured "PSM" with ReimuB again. This time, in a normal run. Unfortunately, I derp everywhere else and actually failed a 1cc.
...might as well save the replay.
EDIT: TMS has decided to take another go at UFO once I get back tomorrow. This should be interesting, considering there's a 1 month gap between her last attempt and what would be the latest attempt. Here's hoping that she pulls through after watching another demo run.
EDIT 2:
About replays, watch this and tell me if it's legit or not (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7208) :ohdear:
Varies by threshold. I don't see anything that's sticks out as making it illegitimate though. Considering that I've seen the full capability of "twitching" from superplayers (gdi yukarin) and myself that is.
I should probably release one of those replays showing how well I can micrododge unfocused :V

:o
2x0 vs Mystia
2 perfect rounds

S'ok. I can abuse these to my heart's content in practice, but when it comes to actual runs I can still do just fine :V
About replays, watch this and tell me if it's legit or not (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7208) :ohdear:
I would use those programs to fix my power level at 4. In order words - patch the game to suit the needs of one who find it game breakingly annoying to get punished just because you don't wanna bomb and die because of it. (In real runs i would bomb of course and then the power system isn't too punishing but i can still find examples of annoyance because of it)
About your replay, i don't see anything fishy about it. You capture the bow but that is not outrageous at all... even though i seem to have lost it. I have tried to play Extra for the first time since long ago. Tried it twice and in none of them could i capture the bow. i seem to lose my touch with extras if i don't play them. When i tried Flandre last i managed to die at Philosophers Stone, Cranberry Trap, Laevatain and game over at QED. Surprises me that i even got that far though.

EoSD Stage 4 Hard 1D1B run. (http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/9159/33110eosdstage4hard1d1b.png)
May not be a perfect run, but this is without a doubt my best run on the stage so far. One bomb on the stage when I realized I was gonna get hit (a situation I shouldn't have gotten into in the first place), and one death near the very end of Lava Cromlech (got lolwalled by yellow bullets). Finally recaptured Sylphae Horn High Level too. Getting the Vsync patch to work with this game made playing it soooooo much easier (thanks Baity :V).

The most outrageous part is that I ND'd all the way to Nightmare, then kissed the laser as I foolishly rushed to the center for no particular reason :ohdear:

Two tries. One ragequit at Ichirin because I derp'd her THREE times in a row.
This was done after skipping Physics class practicing each stages once, without any planning beforehand. Not to mention the keyboard I was playing on has a nasty tendency of throwing me at a random direction (Hello Forgotten World, good for deathbomb practice I guess), and hell, input lag (Gray Test Tray Shure).
Now with all Hard modes cleared (except for PCB but meh) I guess I can have that Lunatic title (for real) this time ? BV
-
Nice. I've only made it to Shou's second nonspell with ReimuB. And that was with 3 deaths on Ichirin with bombs and horrid UFO chaining.
Every other run since then derps on Nazrin's last stage 1 card or early stage 2.

Used all three of my bombs, but whatever. This what meant more for practice towards a Lunatic 1cc anyway.
EDIT: Speaking of which, I hope no one minds me using things like the retexture patch and hitbox patch for this 1cc. I honestly believe I wouldn't be able to take this game half-seriously without them.

I am well known for my hatred of Hardly Responsive to Players-- I mean, Highly Responsive to Prayers, (probably as an inevitable consequence of it sucking so much) but I do feel compelled to note that as much as I despise it, it's still a legitimate, if poorly-made, game. It's true that it's beatable, but it's equally true that while technically anyone can beat it, it requires a level of mental abstraction and discipline that takes a lot of hard work to achieve; hard work you'll only put in if either a) you enjoy it or b) you're dead set and determined to beat it.
And to be less off-topic, I will mention that I recently 1cc'd SoEW normal again, with ReimuB this time. Thank ZUN for that weird drop-bombs glitch in stages 1 and 2; I got at least three bombs in quick succession from random enemies in stage 2 right before meeting Meira, which is probably the only reason I didn't die horribly. \o/

Or you can just do it the scoring way while simultaneously speedrunning the normal stages, having max lives for every boss and 1cc lunatic the very first day of ever touching the game. :V

There's nothing really luck-based about this strategy. The orb always goes to the same location at the start of a level. Just stand there and kick it in the air for the duration of the bomb to gain insane amounts of points and thus extra lives.

Nice. Still don't have this one. Not because of noncard 3, which I can timeout somewhat reliably, but because red orb spam sucks, Sinking Vortex sucks, Ghost Ship sucks, and Dipper sucks. At least one of those tends to get me in any run.
And my current focus is SA S5 anyway.
Oh yeah, I got a perfect Orin fight last night.
I was too annoyed by the two midboss deaths to bother posting (it was also the first run of the night, so I was prepared to keep trying, but the only run of the night to survive popcorn hell).

Sinking Vortex sucks

EoSD Lunatic no focus 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8151), using ReimuA, finished with two spare lives. :dragonforce: Pretty pleased with how damn near everything went, to be honest.

Indeed. You could say that other than boss patterns, the whole game is micromemorizable, since the same inputs will always lead to the same results. If you ask me, the only thing keeping people from figuring out the game is that they underestimate the power of the ofuda and rely on their gohei.
-
EoSD Lunatic clear (1 continue used). (http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/7692/33110eosdlunaticmodecle.png)
It's a start, at least. The last time I got this far, I ran out of continues on Remilia. This time, I got to her opener before gameovering once. I just need to make sure I don't die with bombs in stock nearly as many times as I did in this run, and a 1cc will be almost certain.
that thing makes the game look acceptably decent.
Fixed. :V
-
but because red orb spam sucks
You know what's interesting about this? It's one hell of a lot easier without a UFO there, and I have close to a 100% survival rate with ReimuA in that section. There is a specific strategy to make this very trivial.
And "Sinking Vortex" is the epitome of a straight dodge-'em; how can that not be fun :V
"Ghost Ship" on the other hand can go die in a fire as opposed to sinking because of being impossible to do at times when Murasa moves too far down the screen / I get extremely unlucky with the debris.

Oh really now? I don't have any strategy other than "sit on one side and hope for the best". I have a similar mindset between this section and the fairy spam in S5. Pick a side, hope everything from above dies, expect 99% percent of bullets to come from the other side.
And "Sinking Vortex" is the epitome of a straight dodge-'em; how can that not be fun :V
I never said it isn't fun (easily Murasa's best card), but it gets me far too much. I think my cap rate has gone up since I stopped pointlessly shotgunning her, since shotgunning causes sharper angles to be formed by her aiming on the card, but I haven't tried this stage so much recently due to changing priorities to SA/UFO S5.
"Ghost Ship" on the other hand can go die in a fire as opposed to sinking because of being impossible to do at times when Murasa moves too far down the screen / I get extremely unlucky with the debris.
Good, I was worried I was the only one who was randomly having trouble with this shit. I used to think this was as trivial as Sinking Anchor, but ever since I started grinding the NDNBNUFO attempts this has been luckshitting on me more and more.

The only thing you should be bringing into the red orb spam at the end of stage 4 is a box of tissues. Fuck yearrr.
For added effect, remove the shift, z and x buttons and use Marisa only. Ahhh~~n~

What Baity said. You realize most games have the ability to be completely memorized and have everything come down to your ability to pull it off. Heck, it was a requirement back in the NES days.
Also, HRtP no bombs is great fun, but also very hard. :[

Really, the popcorn hell is getting you that frequently? I can do it pretty damn consistently as long as I start by sweeping the screen to kill as many of the ghosts as I can, and then run to the lower right corner to stream over to the left.
The real trick for me was getting Catwalk capture + perfect Orin + perfect stuff after the popcorn hell, all in the same run.
-
Also, HRtP no bombs is great fun, but also very hard. :[
Stop complaining and get working on Makai >:D

Well, two things here. In reverse chronological order :P
First, UFO extra clear. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8154)
I'd basically been ignoring most of the extra stages that I hadn't cleared, for a while now, and decided to go back and try to finish them off. I must be doing something wrong with the ufos in the stage, since the best I've ever managed to get out of the entire stage is 4 life stars. High point of the run: capturing Grudge Bow. Considering that I hadn't seen anything past green UFO before, ever (not even in a video or replay or something)... I had a shear fluke dodge in the last wave of that card, though. Somehow managed to have a cluster of bullets bump into me... and keep on going. I even went "Huh, I'm alive?" But I arrived at grudge bow 0/0, so I'll take what I can get ^^;
And the second: PCB lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8155)
My first lunatic 1cc of anything. You'd think I'd be all hyped about it. (Ok, PCB is much easier than the other lunatics, but still) Yet, somehow I don't feel especially pleased with this achievement. Reflecting on the discussion in the deathbomb thread, I decided to experiment with being more liberal with my bombs. A couple runs later, I get the 1cc. Unfortunately, I used SO many bombs that I'm not sure I even feel like I really accomplished anything. =/
-
There we go, SA Stage 5, NDNBNG(apping) (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8156)
Interestingly enough, the part I was having the most trouble with for this session?
Not Catwalk.
Not Popcorn Hell.
Not Stream Hell (not that that part's hard, but if you fuck it up, you die, simple as that).
Not Ghost Wheels.
Everything before the midboss. Yeah, the trivial shit.
This was, I believe, the second run for this session that made it to the midboss safely, after about 10 minutes of early deaths that all qualified for the Embarrassing Moments Thread. The prior run died to Popcorn Hell and Stream Hell, and quit without bothering to practice Orin.
That said, there was a lot that could still be done better. I hesitate once Popcorn Hell begins, creating a massive clutter that wouldn't have been so bad had I started firing earlier. Things go decently until Ghost Wheels, where I lose my timing (as usual), and have to rely on reflex to dodge the wheels rather than prediction because I fail to keep track of where they spawn. During Demon Revival, once I decide to make my second retreat, a wall to the left tells me not to go clockwise, and I decide to go counter-clockwise instead. Another wall to the right (not really a wall, but when your nerves are kicking into full gear, you become really cautious) causes me to hesitate, and I end up moving up to the top of the screen and circling around at what felt like the last possible moment.
Sloppy execution aside, this makes SA the first game for which I have an NDNB run for every stage on Lunatic/Extra.
I used SO many bombs that I'm not sure I even feel like I really accomplished anything. =/
Don't worry about it. My first MoF Lunatic 1cc involved 7 deaths and 48 bombs. Sure, I felt like a total cowardly bombwhore afterwards, but baby steps. Everyone on this forum agrees that Touhou is as much a game of resource management than anything else, so really, you're still practicing useful skills for your Touhou career, even if it doesn't feel like it. Congrats on the 1cc, and enjoy it. It's an accomplishment for sure. Just never stop aiming higher. Come back later once you've improved and kick PCB's ass more thoroughly than before.

I 1cc'd SA on Normal although there was a bunch of stupid deaths. Towards the end, I had four stupid deaths, but after beating Okuu, I had almost two lives remaining.
I tried another 1cc today. FAILED on Okuu's last card.
Then I do practice mode on Stage 4, 5 and 6. I did really damn good.
WTF Why can't I do this when I try to 1cc the thing.

Not sure this belongs here, since I died at the end of Aya's last spellcard, but I made it pretty far in MoF Hard mode considering I haven't been brushing up for a while.
I wish I saved a replay of it, since I almost got a game over during Nitori's midboss Card. I was completely taken by surprise when I died, because I thought it was a game over. I looked up, and the word "Extend" was still on the screen after I died. I gladly took that and the obligatory half-way Mark Extend from beating her.

Doesn't it start with 9 lives or something ? :V I haxxed my lives in that one, but even if you assume I started with default lives and do the math, it still results in a clear :V
It didn't show 9 lives. I assume replays won't save stuff accomplished through cheat engine or whatever you used. It looked like a normal run. I suppose that if you had died more than you should have lives as a result of your play then it would have resulted in a game over.
Speaking of sudden game overs. I just realized that my replay of my capture of DS 12-6 is glitched so now it looks like a failed run. Nicely done. Why does ZUN seem to have such trouble with replays? PoFV sometimes crashes when you wanna save it, MoF S4 goes deathfest quite often and the same goes for SA S6. You would think the man could get such a feature down.

Nothing really... I'm pretty average in the Touhou games.. I'm kinda proud of having captured Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana though.. That's probably it
-
Evil Eye Sigma, No Bombs. Only 1 death until after the bouncy ball phase too, yaaay~
Is it just me, or do some of EES's bullets go faster when you're at full power? Or is there just a Rank system in SoEW I didn't know about? Or I'm just crazy.
Also, I just realized, when you beat EES, Reimu calls herself the strongest. :V
-
MoF Stage 5 no-deaths, no-vertical. Pretty good Sanae run too. Only captured Moses Miracle and all the midspells, though.

UFO Lunatic 1cc 0 Spell Cards captured. Unfortunately, I used multi-coloured UFOs so I can't say Green UFOs Exclusively as well :<
On the other hand, I did time out quite a lot of Spell Cards to stock up on more resources. At the same time, I also died with bombs in stock, messed up UFO chaining, and did many more derp-y things. The real challenge is to do this with 5 Lives in stock at the end (that means, No Deaths and 0 Spell Cards captured) which is the absolute maximum if you're not going for Reds. I'd imagine I would have to hoard resources properly for the early part, seeing as there are things that I *have* to bomb (Mid-Bosses, Last Spell Cards). That, and I actually entered Stage 5 with 0 bombs! Chained UFOs pretty well, but it obviously wasn't enough.
Why did I try to time out "RTG" in a normal run instead of just bombing it?
-
9-4 cleared in DS. I decided I may as well give in and clear all scenes with Aya, since that's essentially the equivilent of a lunatic 1cc here. Four scenes left, only one of which still has me going "WHAT."
EDIT: Make that two scenes. :3
(http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/29/dsallayaclear.png)
And there you go. Just reclaimed my title of having beaten all Touhou games. :D Can't wait for the English patch so I can do Hatate too.
-
Holy crap, I just pulled off a 1-death EoSD Stage 4 Lunatic (first try of the day). Died stupidly on Emerald Megalith (read: trying to capture it, so didn't use a bomb before dying), and also wasted a bomb on her second NDL because I got myself walled (bad movements on my part). If I can improve on those two points, I might be able to get a no-deaths on this stage.
-
I'll be uploading the Patchy timeouts soon.
On another note, :ufo (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8206): (I'll get around to making one I swear)
No Bombs means that I can take these huge risks without bombing. without chickening out and bombing to make it look crap.

Best run of the night, plus it's getting late, so I'll stop it here.
That one bomb was a deathbomb on boss-Kogasa's second card (the rain one), though I was most of the way through it anyway. Everything else isn't that bad to perfect, though I can't say I'm looking forward to Parasol Star Memories on Lunatic.
-
Be very, very thankful that you're using ReimuA.
Else, you're going to end up with results either equivalent to this, or worse:

For those interested in correlating History with difficulty, this would make it harder than any other Spell Card in existence (as of this point :V). Yes, every. My only gripe with this Spell Card is that the umbrellas parasols have a little too much health to cut down.
So that glitch thing happened again in LLS extra, where upon starting the boss fight the bottom half of the screen becomes plagued with afterimages.
Any way to "consistently" glitch the display? Because I'd give it a go. Well, if it weren't for the fact that I lost my capacity to record PC-98 windows with Fraps.

UFO
Well considering how Funen1 did manage to clear a few lunatics it is odd that he would be challenged at all by UFO Normal. The true nature of UFO is in its lunatic mode. UFO Hard mode isn't too hard if you can do other games in Lunatic mode.
The jump is quite huge from Hard to Lunatic. I basically go from perfecting Shou on Hard mode to get raped by her in Lunatic mode. I also almost perfected Byakuren in Hard mode but gets raped by lunatic mode. The jump from UFO Hard to UFO Lunatic is pretty huge IMO.
Speaking of UFO Lunatic. Did a timeout of Nazrin's Gold Detector and Pendulum Guard. I had expected the latter to be problematic but it would seem that it wasn't. Also did a timeout of Super-Water Repelling Bone-Dry Monster. That proved to be troublesome. I had quite a couple of runs where that thing would just ram me with a bullet out of nowhere.
I also wanna timeout the 3rd card of hers but PSM is unfortunately completely impossible to do so with. And if it is possible i suppose it would be harder than surviving the same amount of time in VoWG. Such stuff doesn't belong in S2. Stupid umbrella.

Nope. If there's a way to glitch it up on purpose, I have yet to find it.

Be very, very thankful that you're using ReimuA.

Hmm... weird. I've never had this happen to me and I've played this stage A LOT (read: pacifist).
I've seen it twice so far in the Elly fight though.

YES!!! I WIN!!! :toot:
Embodiment of Scarlet Devil Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8216)
I finally did it. Embodiment of the god damn scarlet devil! I beat it! I haven't rewatched this run but i actually think a lot of it is pretty good for an initial clear. I am pretty overwhelmed by this run. After dying that much to absolutely everything in stage 4 and beginning Stage 5 with only 2 additional lives (Began stage 4 with 7 lives) i had long given up on getting that 1cc. Something in me decided to keep pushing on. I then get to Stage 6 with 2 lives and 2 bombs and with those resources i manage to beat Remilia.
I go all warm just considering how well my results would have been if i didn't die to trivial Patchy non-spells or aimed bullets at the start of stage 4 or even easy Patchy spells.
-
Huzzah! I just 1cc'd LLS! on my first try too! though, it was on easy, so just like EoSD it ended on stage 5 and I didn't get anything. (Touhou wiki lied to me... >_>) Oh well, seeing Marisa getting backhanded like that by Reimu more than made up for it. >w>
P.S. Spoiler tags aren't working.
-
So that glitch thing happened again in LLS extra, where upon starting the boss fight the bottom half of the screen becomes plagued with afterimages.
The thing though? This time?
I won. :> (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5-U9LgiyAw)
*complains about bullets blending into the background in PC-98*
That actually did look really cool though.

Congrats! My initial clear was kind of the opposite; brilliant first half which conluded in entering the Remi fight at 4/1, entering Scarlet Gensokyo at 2/2 and finishing at 0/3. :V
On another note, here's a PCB (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51t4BCESmb4) Lunatic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAq6BWeDjg0) no focus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbcOX4EK3OU) 1cc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXhZpvmnLeg). Finished with two spare lives, although I'm considering going back and doing a better one due to the hilarious amount of mistakes made throughout the run. Best part was probably Youmu, including a very silly Eternal Truth capture (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbcOX4EK3OU#t=5m13s).

Double posting because it's completely unrelated to the previous post.
So, I decided to play PoDD again today. Died twice to Stage 6 Mima, and then died twice to Stage 7 Rikako. Suddenly, I stopped being completely incompetent and managed to not die against either Chiyuri or Yumemi... so PoDD Lunatic 1cc'd (http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o142/Sapzdude/PoDDLunatic1cc.jpg?t=1270391306), I guess. I'm not really that proud of this so much as I am completely confused, though I guess the 1cc might not have taken as long had I bothered to play this more than once a month or so. :V
Also, this (http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o142/Sapzdude/YUMEMIFACE.jpg?t=1270391624) cracked me up.

PoDD Lunatic 1cc'd (http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o142/Sapzdude/PoDDLunatic1cc.jpg?t=1270391306)
Congrats, that makes you the 7th guest? Can't remember exactly.
Now get cracking on HRtP! >:D
Also, when did knives become 10 times easier to dodge?
-
Finally got back to where I was...
SA 1cc Normal, five lives left.
SA Hard up to stage 6.
SA Lunatic up to stage 5.
Almost got a clear in SA Extra.
I'm not doing this again for a while, though. I got very lucky at times.
Playing only Lunatic really kicks you into shape.

UFO Stage 2 Hard perfect run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8225)
Finally got this after dying multiple times on boss-Kogasa's opener FTL. Almost lost it on her last card, but fortunately I was able to keep up with where there was the most space.
Am I strange to think that Kogasa is actually quite fun (on Hard at least :V)?
This man has learned a glorious secret that shouldn't actually be a secret
Seems like the idea is really "continuously challenge yourself to get better", and playing Lunatic is just one way to do that. I wouldn't recommend it for someone who is relatively new to shmups though (I say practice the basics before trying the harder difficulties, otherwise they will go nowhere fast).
-
MoF perfect extra stage. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8226)
Yay! Something went right today! \o/
Thank God this finally went right. Now I don't have to go through 10 minutes of trivial shit again just to get another shot at her survivals.
Hmm, only EoSD and IN extra remain now...
EDIT:
Oh wauw, I beat the number 1 highscore for ReimuB. :o
-
PoDD Lunatic 1cc'd (http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o142/Sapzdude/PoDDLunatic1cc.jpg?t=1270391306)
good, now do it with Kana
Also, this (http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o142/Sapzdude/YUMEMIFACE.jpg?t=1270391624) cracked me up.
PC-98 endings are a weird bunch even when they aren't trying, aren't they.
-
I consider it an accomplishment that I'm able to gather the patience to work out a UFO path for the first two stages. Getting more consistent on it, though a couple of portions still need tuning. Ideally I'd reach boss-Kogasa with 4.75 lives and 6 bombs, though it might end up being 5 bombs to help get the lives.
And I have the feeling this isn't anywhere near optimal, but I'm going with what I know works for now.
I have a question too. Would UFO Stage 4 be like PCB Stage 4 in that it gives you lots of resources? I notice all of those UFOs, though I bet someone more experienced with survival runs would be better able to judge that.
-

Every stage gives you lots of resources.
Yeah, stage 4 in particular gives a lot of resources.
You can summon an insane amount of UFO's after the streaming section. Bombing to gather UFO's here is recommended.
-
I 1cc'd SA on Normal although there was a bunch of stupid deaths. Towards the end, I had four stupid deaths, but after beating Okuu, I had almost two lives remaining.
I tried another 1cc today. FAILED on Okuu's last card.
Then I do practice mode on Stage 4, 5 and 6. I did really damn good.
WTF Why can't I do this when I try to 1cc the thing.
Stop bitching GreenVirus
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8227
Normal Clear, only 2 deaths. I got twice my high score.
This man has learned a glorious secret that shouldn't actually be a secret
Congrats!
I just noticed Normal is my comfort zone and I need to get out of it really soon ;_;
-
I just went through UFO Stage 6 Hard. No deaths until LFS, though I ended up bombing a bunch of stuff stupidly (read: me messing up and bombing to save myself). BUUUT I finally captured St. Nikou's Air Scroll.
Is it true? Am I actually making progress at UFO?
What is this magic?
-
I'm back. I'm back for real >:|
- "Vajra of Perfect Buddhism" timeout. I heard the clock ticking and went for it.
- "Complete Clarification" timeout. Same as above.
- Superhuman "Byakuren Hijiri" timeout on my first try after derp-ing it for several runs straight AND captured "LFO" at 2.00 right afterwards.
- 1D4B Byakuren Lunatic. Perfected everything from "Magic Butterfly" to the last wave of "LFO".
- ND1B1UFO Stage 5 Lunatic (stage portion), and another "Gray Test Tray Shure" capture.
- "Radiant Treasure Gun" at 2.00.
- ND1B(1UFO at the safespot section) Stage 4 Lunatic (stage portion).
- Perfect Stage 1 Lunatic.
I should've brought more than just UFO with me =/
-
So I want to show off DS to my brother by playing 12-8, which I hadn't beaten before, and beat it in my first try. :V
-
EoSD perfect extra stage. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8233)
Hahahaha oh man, MarisaA trivialises QED. First attempt after switching to her.
-
Finally 1cc'd MoF on normal! I decided to bomb through stage 6 instead of actually attempting the spellcards, and it worked for the most part.
I'd like to say that I went on to clear Extra immediately afterwards, but I died to Suwako's second midboss attack. Maybe next time- it seems a little easier than most extra stages anyway.
-
Unlocked Hatate
Now if only I could beat Ex-5 with Aya or all the Ex stages with Hatate(though I haven't tried any with her) so that I could say I cleared Extra.
-
Reached Normal Hiziri with 8/8
Actually got 400+ million
Captured Demon's Recitation
Captured Air Scroll
Captured Flying Fantastica.
All with Reimu B.
-
I consider it an accomplishment that I got past Murasa on Hard. It was the first try that I managed to get past Stage 2 without dying (using bombs appropriately on Stage 2 as well), though I'm not totally consistent on Stage 3 yet. Still, I'm making some progress.
-
Captured "Double Black Death Butterfly" and another Ghost Wheel BV
-
Another EoSD 1cc
Marisa B
Earlier I complained on how much I suck with straight shot types.
But I decided to do this because I think it'll make Cranberry Trap and QED easier.

UFO Stage 3 Hard no-deaths. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8245)
Would have been a perfect Ichirin fight too, had I not positioned myself to be SKEWERED by a laser on her first nonspell (bombed for protection, though the replay shows I would have lived anyway; oh well). Otherwise, this run was meant for learning where the UFOs were on this level, so the stage portion is hardly "perfect".
-
2/49 on "Virtue of Wind God". Could've been four, as I heard that big bzzzz sound in two of my other runs. But of course, Mountain of Clipdeaths.
-
I picked a fight against all Stage 3 bosses in the windows games. Meiling went perfect, Alice was almost perfect. Failed two spells but managed to death-bomb them. Against Keine i captured all her spells but had to bomb her non-spells. Nitori claimed three lives against her 2nd card (suck at it and tried to time out) but the rest of the battle was perfect. Yuugi went almost perfect but messed up at final non-spell.
But Ichirin... i'd like to get something clarified by asking others because i am in doubt. Is Ichirin that much more difficult than even Alice or is just because i don't believe in UFO's and thus don't have enough practice? I died five times to her.
-
2/49 on "Virtue of Wind God". Could've been four, as I heard that big bzzzz sound in two of my other runs. But of course, Mountain of Clipdeaths.
You inspired me to do another couple of no-bomb MoF Stage 6 practice runs.
2/46 now.
Wind God, I love that card.
-
Made it 99.61% of the way through EoSD Lunatic! ~1/20 of Scarlet Gensokyo's lifebar was left.
I was expecting to be more ASDFAFGDF-ish after losing that close to victory, but I'm actually okay with it. I'll probably win on my next try.

That was how my final game over was before getting my 1cc. Also, if you don't feel up to restarting because of mistakes: just press on no matter how bad it goes. I entered stage 5 with two spare lives and still managed to 1cc.
-
99.61% again. ::)
Does the percentage actually change depending on how much of the lifebar is left?
-
Caught all 416 spellcards in Concealed the Conclusion! /o/
This includes all 56 last words as well. These cards are like 10 times harder than the IN ones, so this was quite a challenge~
-
VoWG 2/46 now.
...make that 4/48 now.
Am I getting consistent at VoWG? What the hell?

I shouldn't have brought that up >_>

Hurray for being ahead on schoolwork. Touhou time!
SA Easy Stage 5 ND1B (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8256). Wasn't even going for anything like this, I was just trying to get better and it just happened.
I feel it's a fluke; after watching it there's no way I'm replicating it for a while.
\o/
-
Okay, I now fully agree that Medicine is just as broken as Aya. I haven't played PoFV in months and just beat Story Mode Lunatic with Medicine on my first try. With no deaths. I beat the score board's best Lunatic Medicine score!
I feel happy now. All the battles were ridiculously short, yes, but I still had to do some fairly good dodging. The replay even saved <3 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8257)
EDIT:Tried Shikieiki. Got to Reimu with an Extra life. But Lunatic Reimu is not even possible. Two minutes of insanity and not a single hit ;-;
-
One-death MoF Easy (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8255)
By far the best run I've put together in any of the games, and I'm surprised it happened with a shot type I haven't really used in MoF (mainly because I'd been too lazy to slap the vsync patch in there to un-break her). The death even came pretty much where I expected one -- Kanako's last card.
So why did I die to the first large bullet in stage 4 when I attempted the same thing on Normal? -.-
-
I beat up Ran in two tries...
Why do people say that Princess Tenko is so BS?
Also...
IZUNA GONGEN GUYZ I'M GOING FOR IT WITHOUT THE SAFESPOT HOLY CRAP I CAPTURED IT

I've never managed to safespot it, and after my first 2 times doing it, I've never managed to safespot BoLaD.
-
Why do people say that Princess Tenko is so BS?
Really? People say that? I think Murasa's survival card at the end of UFO Stage 4 is BS. (Ghost Ship)
-
Why do people say that Princess Tenko is so BS?
If you don't know how to approach the card you'll wind up doing no damage to a target that constantly dumps bullets on top of you that do a good job of blocking your crazed movements as you try to fly away from fast aimed bursts.
Of course, if you DO know how to approach the card it's considerably easier, albeit still easy to mess up.
-
EoSD Extra clear. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8260)
Woooooo finally. A pretty ugly clear if you ask me, I really need to get better at judging bomb usage (though the fact that I'm still half-asleep doesn't help). But a clear's a clear.
-
Let it be said once again: NEVER give up on a crap run!
PCB Easy 1cc with Marisa A (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8261)!
That makes a 1cc with each character (R-B, M-A, S-A), and this was, imo, the most challenging of the three by far.
Back to schoolwork, then it's time to start working towards Normal I suppose... :ohdear:
-
SA Extra clear! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8266)
Yeah baby! Koishi, you're awesome and everything, but it's about time you fell.
And to think I've had this open for almost five months, back when I was quite new to Touhou. The fact that I'm still not consistent at "no-death'ing" the stage portion shows how hard it can be to learn. And this Koishi run wasn't my cleanest either (I perfected the whole stage up to Genetics once before) - not that I'm complaining though.
-
Funen1, I now have renewed confidence to beat this stage :V
-
Lots of progress on MoF extra, since it seems like Suwako is probably easiest for me as an extra stage boss.
Spell cards captured:
Kanako's Beautiful Spring like Suiga, Ancient Fate Linked by Cedars, and Omiwatari God Crosses.
Suwako's Long Arm and Long Leg, Moriya's Iron Ring, Frog Is Eaten by Snake due to the Croak, and Seven Stones and Seven Trees.
This is over the course of some 10 runs or so. I'd have it made if I could do it all back-to-back. Got a long list of stupid deaths to go along with the spell cards captured, though. :V

Bragging. Just what I wanted to do. Well...I joined MotK, at last. I've been
spying lurking looking around here for a month or two... Got into Touhou last December... Well, here comes the list:
1CC's
Story of Eastern Wonderland (normal)
Lotus Land Story (hard MarisaA)
Mystic Square (hard, Marisa)
Embodiment of Scarlet Devil (hard)
Perfect Cherry Blossom (hard)
Imperishable Night (hard)
Mountain of Faith (hard, ReimuA)
Subterranean Animism (normal)
Undefined Fantastic Object (normal)
Extra Clears:
SoEW, Evil Eye Sigma (ReimuC)
LLS, Mugetsu & Gengetsu (MarisaA)
MS, Alice Margatroid (All characters, it's so fun!)
EoSD, Flandre Scarlet (ReimuB)
PCB, Ran Yakumo (ReimuB)
PCB, Yukari Yakumo (ReimuB)
IN, Fujiwara no Mokou (Rm & Yu)
MoF, Suwako Moriya (ReimuB)
SA, Koishi Komeiji (ReimuA)
UFO, Nue Houjuu (SanaeB)
SA one was definitely the hardest. It took me like 40 tries. Everything else took me less than 20 tries.
Shoot the Bullet progress:
Beaten 85/85 scenes in Shoot the Bullet so far. All clear!
108/108 in Double Spoiler as Aya, 99/99 as Hatate. Well, that's it for photography. And I'm not lying.
Non-official Touhou game progress:
Labyrinth of Touhou: 13F
Mystical Chain: Lunatic Clear
MegaMari: Well...
The Story of Eastern Wind: Normal Clear, Yukkuri Extra Clear
Touhou fighters are pretty good, it's just that I don't find time to play them.
I've been wondering, am I something you'd call "fast learner"? Only scene 12-7 as Aya took me more than 300 photos in Double Spoiler...and I have never used Practice Mode, expect once in SA.
Well, maybe that was a bit too much?
-
Got into Touhou last December... Well, here comes the list:
[Huge fucking list of Normal/Hard/Extra]
If that's true, well...

As a funny side note, I didn't have any experience of danmaku games before I got into Touhou (Radiant Silvergun doesn't count). Also my parents usually restrict my "screen time" to 2 hours a day, with some not so minor exceptions...well, I have this friend who learns even faster than me and has screen time of 1 hour. Efficiency is the key. With all of this, I sound even more of a liar...but I definitely am not one. Oh, and I'm writing this on my (mobile) phone. Anyways, isn't this a great thread to introduce yourself? Err... :D

1cc IN Hard with Sakuya solo (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8274)
I got kind of unlucky against Fantasy Seal -Fader- and completely forgot how to do Tewi's first attack. I was too nervous to capture/time out a lot of the other spells, like Pseudo-History, Brilliant Dragon Bullet, the first of Kaguya's Last Spells, and Hourai Jewel - I really didn't think I was going to be able to do it. I'm still feeling twitchy. On the other hand, this is a pretty good testament to what Bombing Moar does to your survivability.
Probably the hardest attacks with Sakuya solo are Reimu's opener and Tewi's first attack. This shot type is really the only one that has to worry about getting killed by Reimu Hakurei's balls, and Tewi's first attack lasts longest when you're doing pathetic damage and carrying bombs that do even less damage.
-
I just caught Kanako's opener on Lunatic. Having not even played her stage in what feels like ages.
I need to remember the "spot above Reimu" where I was looking so that I can get more consistent at this. Really, this is huge for me, because now there's the remotest possibility of me perfecting MoF Stage 6 Lunatic.

Of course, I beat his (http://score.royalflare.net/th125/levelscene125-SP.html#LSPS4) improved score within a day as well.

So yeah, DS sort of reminded me that StB existed and I went ahead and replayed through it. It's amazing how much easier everything is than from when I first played it. :o
Fun stuff.

Holy crap I finally captured Radiant Treasure Gun.
On Hard. But still.
-
1cc IN with Border Team, Hard, Kaguya ending.
That's a first. However, I didn't save the replay because my playing was crap.
Not only did I start with 7 lives, but there was a point where I had max lives and bombs, and then I get clipped by Marisa's opener because I took a moment to rub my eye with my pinky.
;_;
I lost 8 bombs and a life.
Very cruel, Marisa...

Holy crap, EoSD Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8284)
I did make some completely idiotic mistakes at a few parts, one example being that I forgot not to go up to the PoC after one of Remilia's spells and getting 9'd (How do you do the 9 ball thing anyway).
-
Captured the Prismriver sisters final spellcard a couple of times. Every time getting forced to the left corner of the screen forced to do some heavy micrododging. It doesn't feel as if i'm doing this card the right way because this method could easily mean getting screwed over. Pretty fun in any case.
Also, i don't understand why so many people redirect and fears Youmu's non-spells. They aren't too bad when you get used to them. Its even the same pattern every time i think.
-
They're quite dense and clippy.
I just wish I could perfectly misdirect them, so that they can go from 1 death/bomb to 0 death/bomb
And Yugi is not the easiest Stage 3 boss. She has all her nonspells, specifically, a clippy opener, lasers, and another dangerous nonspell. Then there's Ooe. Clipdeath in 3 steps, although that's rare for me.
Keine is much easier with her only threats being Ephemerality and both nonspells. And one of those nonspells is usually easy.

Well, I can barely get from the beginning to Ichirin without continuing, and everything after Murasa pretty much devastates me. Actually, on lunatic, I usually need several attempts to get past stage 3 even after continuing once, insofar... :V
It's not like I don't like UFO or anything, it is just, without a doubt, the hardest of the regular games.
Hmm, wait, I can't remember if I already 1CC'd LLS or not. :/

IN is a better idea for you. Its not terribly hard to 1cc and its very fun. (Think its my fave Touhou but that might be because it was my first)

Do you have a consistent strategy for the 2nd opener of the Prismrivers or do you use Marisa? I find that to be one of the more tricky parts of the boss although i capture it a bunch of times now and then.
As for Yuugi. Why don't you guys put up a replay of an average Yuugi fight? You complain about all she has - quite a lot of people seem to do so - but i find it impossible to relate to since i never have had any problems with her. Maybe seeing it will make understanding what goes wrong easier.
She is by far the easiest s3 boss - 2nd spot goes to Keine - and except for Mt. Ooe i don't really understand how anyone could die.

SA > UFO > PCB > EoSD > IN > MoF
IMO, Yuugi is the hardest. She gave me so much trouble when I was barely starting out with Touhou because after her midboss card, if I was lucky enough to survive, I would get clipped by her lasers. And her last nonspell is a beast.
Even now, I still don't know how her lasers work in Lunatic.
Mt. Ooe is trivialized with two bombs.
And her last card isn't difficult, I just think it's luckshit. 50% capture rate here.
-
Yuugi's Laser attacks are evil. Mt. Ooe can be somewhat tough. Knock Out in three steps can occasionally throw something really nasty at you but is fairly easy otherwise. Onion Rings are a joke. Yuugi's non-laser nonspells are quite managable.
So yeah, aside from her laser non-spells I consider her one of the easier stage three bosses.
-
Yuugi's laser nonspells are static, even the red full-length ones if I remember correctly, so it's a matter of knowing where the openings are. The only random element that must be taken into account is where exactly Yuugi moves.
-
Only time they're not truly static are when the blue ones fire additional lasers upon death.
That said, this is what scoring is all about:

-
note to self: when you hear that little voice in your head telling you that this is a bad idea, you probably shouldn't keep doing it
No-focus run of EoSD Extra. First Touhou I've played in two weeks. Ended on Maze of Love.
If I actually bombed more than twice, I could probably pull that off.
-
This happened. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abrhMHVmY0c&fmt=22#t=5m20s)
Although I don't know if people would consider it TAS or complete luck BS.
Oh, and figuring out how to record stuff at 59.9 fps.
-
Looks like luck shenanigans to me.

Not. Returning. To. That. Scene. Ever. Again.

Timed out Secret(ry
-
People's problems with the laser non-spells i don't understand. To begin with i used reading until i figured out that i basically had to do the same moves every time thus making them trivial. You should remember to shoot as many ying-yang orbs as possible on Yuugi so fewer lasers will be spawned though.
Yuugi easiest WAT
SA > UFO > PCB > EoSD > IN > MoF
You would consider Yuugi harder than Alice? That'll probably change when you get to Lunatic level you know.
Timed out Secret(ry
You timed out what?
-
UFO Easy 1CCs with SanaeA and SanaeB, the latter of which included a capture of Light Maelstrom.
I have now gotten single-credit clears of every main series Windows game on Easy with every shot type. Except TH09, because fuck that game.
Nothing left to do but spellcard cleanup and move onto Normal.
...is this a noteworthy accompishment?

'Grats. I tried Mokou a few days back, got completely stomped :V

Captured Double Death Butterfly Satori version. Yes I still consider this a post-worthy accomplishment.
-
I wonder how many people have even bothered uploading their DS scores to royalflare yet... after a quick check, I seem to have "WRs" on 10-7 (http://score.royalflare.net/th125/levelscene125-10.html#L10S7) and SP-9 (http://score.royalflare.net/th125/levelscene125-SP.html#LSPS9). They're not particularly strong scores though, so they're probably gone in a few days.
-
Oh God ... looks like I got the third place for 12-5 there (approx. 1,800,000 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYxppX_y0sk),
slightly lower than MK though), but I already got rid of that replay D:
WAIT I FOUND IT, FUCK YES !
You timed out what?
Sanae's "Secretly Inherited Art of Danmaku". Well ... not that difficult if you move a bit to the side :ohdear:
-
SA Stage 3 Lunatic perfect run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8291)
All right.
-
Sanae's "Secretly Inherited Art of Danmaku". Well ... not that difficult if you move a bit to the side :ohdear:
I doubt timing that card out is any hard at all. Gonna go try!
SA Stage 3 Lunatic perfect run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8291)
All right.
See? It ain't that hard!
-
See? It ain't that hard!
This man speaks the truth. Too many people overestimate the laser attacks.
-
About Secretly Inherited etc.
Timed it out in one attempt. As expected, very easy. I dunno what you are talking about going to the side Formless. I just dodged it by being under Sanae at all times. Are there other methods worth knowing about? As a bonus i get a little slap to the face. 2DNB Sanae. Died at first spellcard because of not moving when glowing bullet come. Not a laser clip. In other words, stupid!
And a death at final spell. That happens sometimes. I don't know why.
This man speaks the truth. Too many people overestimate the laser attacks.
Of course i speak the truth. I have always done. Humans are just too stupid to understand.
-
Huh, managed to not suck at IN for once. Finished 3/0 on a random run today, dying more times to Keine than Kaguya. :V
Also, did a 1DNB Reimu in LLS with MarisaA. The death was as Reimu was exploding. ;_; Finished that run 3/0, too.
-
Cleared UFO Lunatic stage 6 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8292) in pacifist mode (though I used bombs in the stage).
Didn't die until the 3rd non-spell, and then just started dying all over the place, and didn't successfully time out a single attack after that. Finished with 0 lives left.
Also EoSD Lunatic clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8290) with 23/26 cards captured.
-
See? It ain't that hard!
Not the lasers anymore. It's Ooe (clippy) and her last non-spell :\

At just after the beginning of each "waves", you have to dodge two waves of snow pellets curved outward. Standing in the middle of them and wait for them to whiff is too risky, so I picked one side No, I suck at explaining. Wait for a replay then:P
-
Does this desync (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8293)?
EDIT: I assume that the replay works fine judging by the lack of response?
EDIT 2: Hm...
-
Negative. Replay fails.

I unlocked Hatate recently.

I am waiting with childish glee. As for Ooe. That is her hardest spell. At least you aren't complaining about the easiest stuff anymore.
-
Okay. UFO Extra. Marisa B, for the sake of pointing out that almost all the shot types are equally usable.
First time that I perfected the EX-Kogasa. But I'd like to say that her first card is NOT bs when you stay about a Marisa height above the bottom.
Second card... Almost got hit. It was luck that I lived.
Third card... I can almost capture this all the time now that I literally look up at the side the lasers are spinning from.
Derp da derp death on the orb grid.
I got three fourths of a life (plus... two whole?) because I died AGAIN trying to grab the last life piece.
Captured the cards, bombed Nue's second noncard?
The first card, Red UFOs, Blue UFOs, Chimera, Green UFOs, Rainbow UFOs, Squiggly Green Worms were all fine.
I bombed Undefined Darkness?
TWO deaths on the survival...
Another death at the beginning of the final card, leaving me with 1.xx power. I live until the end, where I use my two bombs on the last phase....
Cue my first UFO Extra clear!
-
(http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/2047/mofextra.jpg) (http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/2047/mofextra.jpg)
Ahahahaha. First time I beat a Windows era extra stage. Suwako is actually rather simple considering the patterns of the majority of her spell cards and if you, uh, bomb spam most of her non-cards. Regardless, I'm going to take a nap.
-
Just played ME for the first time... I enjoyed it quite a lot actually. The boss music is above average, and the stage music is quite possibly the best in the series IMO. 1ccing it wasn't much but I just had to say that I enjoyed it as much as any windows Touhou.
-
Perfected Marisa Lunatic (IN of course) with the exception of Asteroid Belt and her 2nd non-spell. That might be a project worth pursuing.
-
(http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i293/Arcengal/EoSDLunaticrun.jpg)
Very definitely getting there. At least I can deathbomb now (see arrow). It's now become getting used to the few attacks that eat resources and if I can get those down, I'm pretty sure I can get to Scarlet Meister/Gensokyo with enough resources to smash through.
Edit: Oh yeah, and I captured Flower Dream Vine L for the first time on this run. :V
-
I 1cc'd IN with Reimu and Yukari on Normal. That's not really much, though..
-
2-death clear of Imperishable Night Hard. Pretty much perfected everything up to Kaguya. Then things went to hell. That's just so Kaguya. At least i captured Hourai Jewel. Damn that spell is easy on Hard. I always seem to lose 2 lives to her, be it hard or lunatic. I should practice her a bit.
EDIT: Looked around my Youtube videos. Found out that my first video was a pretty amateurish video of low quality without sound effects of a Tunnel Effect capture. The video description complained about the card for its difficulty and use of hard to dodge bullets.
Apparently i found it annoying. I just went ahead and captured it in two attempts. It was pretty easy. Ahh the wonders of skill.

PoFV Lunatic 1CC with Mystia! :toot: Of course, PoFV crashed when I tried to save a replay, so have screenshots instead.
-
Just pulled off a half-assed no vertical clear of LLS extra on my first attempt.
Everything is completely possible with the exception of the end-of-stage bullets and Gengetu's final phase, but I haven't tested this much, so I might be wrong.
For "Gengetu Spark", it's a matter of going into a big lane and microtapping to dodge the aimed shot.
EDIT:
And a no focus clear as well.
And I just noticed it's my one year anniversary since I started playing Touhou.
Here's to hopefully another year! :toot:
-
cleared MS Extra, not too amazing except that means I've done all the shmup extra stages in the series Excluding PoFV because I didn't enjoy that game.
I found Alice's second last spellcard quite difficult...But something about it told me it was 100% static, is it?
-
It's most definitely not static, but I'm quite sure it's 100% aimed, so it's pseudo-static in the sense that making the same dodges will result in the same aimed patterns.
My point: don't start trying to shotgun her because you think you know how it goes, because that's when it'll change on you.
lulz PC-98

2DNB pacifist Shou (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8310)
Both deaths were extremely stupid.
The first death was at literally the first wave of Shou's opener (which subsequently led to this pacifist attempt).
Also got killed by the laser in Vajra.
No, not by the one persuing you. :X
Shou is not that bad. It's Nazrin that is a giant piece of shit. :<
Just let me goddamn pass and let me perfect this stage already. >_>
Oh and I did a quickie no focus clear of every single extra stage except SA's.
lol first attempt everything.
The 2DNBNF Nue fight was pretty nice actually.
-
One day I'm seriously gonna get sick of fighting Yuyuko, but I seriously am struggling to figure out her attacks consistently (a problem I seem to have period with final bosses).
2DNB Resurrection Butterfly 10%. Starting to get better at "seeing" the red waves, hopefully I can cap by the end of the month.
-
Holy crap, my ability to read VoWG seems to have jumped through the roof. Tried to time it out just for practice, and I only died twice before the timer got to around 30 seconds (don't remember when I died the first time). Decided to leave after dying on the next two waves.
This may not seem nearly as impressive as the perfect time-outs others have made, but hey, one step at a time for me.
-
Been busy with Sakura Wars, but now it's over, so I decided to have some fun.

SA lunatic 1cc with MarisaC.
Played like an absolute coward with her bombs. :blush:
-
Made it all the way to Hourai Jewel on a refresher run after having not played IN for a month or two. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8319)
I should have this 1cc soon.
IN Lunatic 1cc, fail on score though (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8322)
-
Oh well. IN Lunatic 1CC. FinalB of course. Rm & Yu. Couldn't have been closer call. Oh, 7 starting lives (duh)... Anyways, all cards unlocked for Spell Practice. Not even close to SA/UFO hard 1CC, though.
-
I suck so bad at MoF, I struggle to beat hard mode half the time... But I managed to gather the muster to attempt my first lunatic run at it... Didn't do too terrible (for me), died on stage 6, then beat kanako on my first try after my first continue.
Seriously though, the enemy spellcards make the hardest spellcards in StB look like cake. I don't see how MoF can be ranked among Touhou's easiest. SURELY people agree that it's hard as fuck to no-bomb compared to other Touhou's?
anywyay, after this I feel like a legit lunatic 1cc from me isn't actually a pipe dream.
-

MoF is more difficult to no-bomb. Its stages are designed to encourage you to bomb, so etc.
-
I just cleared IN lunatic with Sakuya solo (cleared, not 1cc). Someone give me a fucking medal.
-
I'm not sure whether I would rather try 1cc with Reimu solo or Sakuya solo. Both are pretty damn bad.
Do I dare try to 1cc Final A? Haven't put any attempts into it yet because I hate the Eirin fight for being so not fun, and 1 IN Lunatic 1cc is enough for the day.
Maybe I'll start seriously trying PoFV again.
-
I just cleared IN lunatic with Sakuya solo (cleared, not 1cc). Someone give me a fucking medal.
Wait, isn't a 1cc the same as a clear?
Like, you don't lose all your lives and you beat the game.
-
Wait, isn't a 1cc the same as a clear?
Like, you don't lose all your lives and you beat the game.
You can use a continue, or multiple continues, and still clear the game. 1cc only means that you didn't lose all of your lives at any point in the run.

HRtP Lunatic No-Bombs Clear (Makai Route)
I first did this in January, but Donut wouldn't believe me (well, I DID have slowdown without realising it, though it doesn't really make the game any easier), and couldn't figure out how to record PC-98 games.
Now that I have a new laptop and 100 Gb of space to waste, here are the videos of my run, with some commentary in the descriptions. I seriously need to find a better audio recorder than Windows Sound Recorder (any idea?).
Part 1 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJs5yehMlzQ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJs5yehMlzQ)
Part 2 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReK3IcKEou8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReK3IcKEou8)
Part 3 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHY5Y8MXH1M (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHY5Y8MXH1M)
One of Sariel's attacks caused huge slowdown during the run. But usually, if the game lags, it'll catch up by running at 300 FPS for 2-3 seconds, while here it just slowed down, so I don't know if it's possible to get rid of it.
I hope this will make people STFU about the difficulty of HRtP.
In terms of practice needed, HRtP Lunatic is BY FAR the easiest Lunatic. And HRtP Easy is BY FAR the hardest easy, as some bosses' attacks are identical in both difficulties (especially the complete bullshit ones like Sariel's lasers and half of Elis' attacks).
It's also harder to gain lives because the cards' value in a chain doesn't raise as fast, giving less extra lives, and less lives to waste to lower the bullets' speed.
-
I've been trying to perfect Eirin on Lunatic for the past 60 minutes and my best run so far was this. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8332)
failed her 3rd non-spell, astronomical entombing and hourai elixir. just a few more tries and i might pull this off.
-
Final A 1cc. Scored higher than my Final B 1cc, so I should probably redo that one sometime, cause that's pretty bad.
-
Tried Concealed the Conclusion on Lunatic. I had to use 2 continues. This thing is hard but there might be fun to be had!
-
WELP.
/me orz to General Guy
Also, I think I've figured out what I have been doing wrong on Kanako's opener for ages. Basically, I have to learn to not be an idiot and use common sense. >_>

WELP (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8345)

Well, after some messing around with other games for a while, I decided to go back and see if I could improve upon my somewhat disappointing first lunatic 1cc (PCB).
This (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8346) is MUCH more satisfying.
Cleared the game with 4 lives and 3 bombs in stock.
And managed to blow my original score away by nearly 190 million points (not that I'm playing for score or anything).
Also, 0D1B Prismrivers, which I'm rather pleased with. (Merlin's opener usually destroys me).
And after 1ccing it 3 attempts in a row (separated by a couple of weeks), I think it's safe to say it's not a fluke or anything. Now, time to work towards 1ccing something else ^^;
-
I could probably do MoF Lunatic with ReimuA if I tried, but I've been trying it without focus instead. It doesn't seem like it would be that much worse than ReimuB for a normal run,maybe even better at parts. Never even got past Stage 3 yet like that. MoF NF is crazy. Extra NF is too.
Also, congrats on adding another shottype clear. Still trying to decide on whether to do LLS next, SoEW next, or PoFV next. For PC98, I'd need to get recording to work. For PoFV, I'd need to quit getting killed 3 times by opponents. And actually get good at the final boss, but that'll never happen for me.

Mine's still better because I dance through the first half of the stage.
Also, judging by your youtube announcement, it sounds like you recorded that EoSD run. Good to hear.
-
Mine's still better because I dance through the first half of the stage.
Mine's better because I took on the full onslaught of the opener fairies. I also did this at 3:00 AM and :wikipedia:
Nah, jk, thanks. :V
Also, now that I think of it, this means that I've perfected the entirety of UFO. The six stages plus extra.
Man, never thought I'd say this but:
UFO perfect all clear! :toot:

UFO perfect all clear! :toot:

So...

It's the first "WELP". :V

And I've been thinking recently that we haven't been putting up any hax accomplishments. It's only natural that you should have a sudden surge of hax once I start thinking that.
-
Finally 1cc'd IN Team Ghost on Normal. Given it's my favorite team I'm surprised it took this long. I even had a life and a bomb left.
No kudos for the two deaths within 15 seconds against Reisen. On one of the easiest noncards, even.
I believe it's time for some Hard Mode.

Captured Mokou's flaming Phoenix (After a few tries)

http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8349

Double Posting OH NOES
Here's a list on Extra Spell Cards and how I did them:
Ihakasa's Moon Curse: 5/37
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8357 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8357)
Avoid hugging the bottom. The most difficult part of this card is misdirecting the red knives, as they have weird hitboxes.
Dodge the first wave of green bullets and go up from your starting point. Rush to the right and go upward, while dodging two waves of blue knives. If you did it correctly, now you should have a gap to run through the red knives. Rush down and quickly go to the left to misdirect the red knives again. Dodge two waves of green bullets and blue knives. Now return to your starting point while staying upward as slowly as possible. By the time you're going to the right, you will have captured the card.
I don't like this one, it's very difficult for an opening card.
Flaw of Forgiving Shrine: 10/30
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8358 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8358)
NO VERTICAL. You don't need it. Basically cut through every wave of amulets that fly downward and upward. Blue amulets always come down and come back up, so you have to cut through it twice. The trick is not moving so much.
Xu Fu's Dimension: 7/18
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8359 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8359)
The hitboxes of the amulets are ridiculously tiny. Mokou forms a manji symbol and sends blue amulets going downward. Red amulets always go upward. You don't need vertical movement for this one either. Dodge two waves and make a dash towards the direction you're going. This is to create a gap between the bullets Mokou aims at you. Then go through the gap and repeat. It's pretty easy, and you can hug the bottom if you want.
Honest Man's Death: 10/50
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8360 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8360)
You can't dodge the laser duuurrrrr (Unless you do it the other way, which looks pretty cool btw)
I spent a bunch of tries trying to dodge the damn thing.
From your starting point, move either left or right. When you hear the laser sound, make sure to move quickly. You only need a small nudge in the direction against the laser. Doing this will allow you to move through the laser, since the laser actually doesn't activate until it crosses the point where you were before. Survive four waves and you capture the card. Try to stay in the center as much as you can, you don't need to move a lot, and you don't need vertical either.
Woo 2/24
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8361
Three things to remember:
First wave always fires downward.
Don't waste time staying at the bottom thinking you're going to stream it. Go to the top left corner of the screen and wait for Mokou to fire the second wave there. That way, the bullets fire offscreen and you don't have to worry about them. Dodge the red bullets from the first wave as you go top right and slowly curve down. Mokou will fire four waves of bullets, the last one being cyan. The goal is to misdirect all of them.
Phoenix Tail: 3/4
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8362
Pure dodging skill. That's it. However, I get the feeling that these bullets are slightly aimed at you, so I think you should herd them.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
I'll probably write more later. I want to see what else I find out. I can't do Fujiyama Volcano because I get clipped on Mokou's third wave.
Touhou Experts: "Tell us something we don't know" lol

The main challange of doing perfect runs of Stage 6 in UFO is the stage portion itself. Granted i did play Hard mode but the stage was still boring enough to almost scare me out of it. I don't know why that stage drains my patience like that but it just does.
Here's something incredibly minor: Perfect Yamame pacifist on Lunatic except for ridiculous fail on last spellcard. Then proceed to time that card out. I like when static cards doesn't need to be memorized.
DoDonPachi fans should also appreciate SA Stage 1. It reminds me a bit of DDP. Its the funniest Stage 1 in the series imo.
Also, congratz to Jaimers. That many perfect runs in such a short time frame. I can only imagine how that must feel.

Here's mine: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8366 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8366)
Very, VERY close to my first clear in Extra. lol @ score
I'll give it a rest for the moment, though.

WELP, LOOKS LIKE I SPOKE TOO SOON YESTERDAY BECAUSE I JUST 1CC'D MS NORMAL! HAHAHAHAHA!
EX Alice, you're going down... >:D

Finally perfected Sanae on lunatic.
Yes it has taken me this long to accomplish this. >_>

ReimuC MoF Hard 1cc.
ReimuC: The choice of people who like to shotgun things and let attacks play out as long as possible (and don't see any contradiction).
It took four tries for me to stockpile enough lives to wear out VoWG. I'm most proud of my 3/4 history on Sanae's midboss card, especially since I was at no more than 1.00 Power each time >.>
One-bombing Source of Rains (starting at 1.00 Power) was cool too.

You should use the focused shot more in the stage bits, since it passes right through familiars and kills things faster. Killing the four big fairies after Keine quickly makes that bit trivial. For the big waves of fairies at the end, all of the bullets are aimed at you, except for the third wave. In particular, if you move as little as possible during the fourth wave with the pink bullets, you'll get nice big gaps for the next wave. The last fairy before Mokou has a completely safe spot in the very bottom left corner, but it only works for Border Team with their smaller hitbox. (You could also make a small circle around the fairy like I do in the replay below.)
Keine's first card has a very simple trick. Stay as youkai the whole time. For the first wave, stay at the very bottom middle (above the 'e' on the boss marker) to dodge all the blue bullets. For the second wave, stay just off centre (above the 'n' or 'm'). Repeat as necessary. The blue bullets on her third card are also static; I usually start in the very middle, and move very slowly to the side when the red bullets come at you. Every wave is the same, so It's not too hard to micromemorize where you need to go.
Generally speaking, for boss fights, if you're going for survival, try to stay as Yukari as much as possible to do the most damage. Also, if you stay focused, then Ran will stay locked on the boss; unfocusing even briefly may break the lock.
Hollow Giant "Woo": So you're misdirecting the shots, but try not to focus too hard on them, and pay attention to the bullets. I found this one much easier once I started doing that.
Phoenix's Tail: it's pretty much pure dodging, but it might help to know that the bullet hitboxes are quite narrow horizontally. (They seem to be somewhat large vertically though.)
Fujiyama Volcano: I'm not sure why you switch rapidly between focused and unfocused since it doesn't help. This is one where if you don't have a pattern memorized, you're almost sure to get hit. (My replay below shows one that works for me maybe 90% of the time.)
Possessed by Phoenix: For the second phase, move more slowly and you won't have to change direction. (I generally tap very briefly to the beat of the music.)
Hourai Doll: If you do it right, you'll be able to pretty much ignore the outer red and blue bullets. I generally make a small circle, following the familiars on the outside.
(Imperishable Shooting? Good luck. :V It took me over 200 attempts to capture it first, although I can do it most of the time now. Precision movement is key.)
(Here's a replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8104) if you like.)
Keep at it, just a little more work and you'll have it cleared. :)
-
Also, IN Extra no focus clear. lol (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8369)

Finally perfected Sanae on lunatic.

This reminds me, I did that challenge you proposed a while ago, of timing out Sanae's last midspell on Lunatic. That was a lot harder than I'd imagined it would be, but I still got it down to a no-focus Marisa timeout after a few tried. :)
-
Got the 12.3 English patch, curbstomped normal mode with Meiling. :3 I probably should have toned it down to hard instead.
-

WHAT
I've been doing it so wrong all this time.
I thought as human (unfocused) I get the most points, and therefore the most graze and time.

Because focused is too slow for me and no focus is too fast for me. I have no idea how to deal with this card. (After seeing your replay, I kind of have an idea what to do now, I just need to practice it.)
Hourai Doll
Koishi put me in shape. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8370)
I honestly had more problem with Mokou's first card rather than her last.

I'd be lucky to get through the third wave of this one~
I'll unlock it first, though.
I have no idea why I haven't tried to do this Extra sooner lol
At least I didn't try to go for Flandre first.

Okay, cool, three perfect Murasa fights in a row on Hard. How the hell am I doing this?

Being at human is only really important for item-collecting. You should always use youkai shot to kill familiar-spawning enemies, since doing so makes the familiars explode themselves and all surrounding bullets into time orbs. Then when you PoC you want to be at full human, since it makes the point items double in value. Use auto-collected time orbs to manipulate your meter to bring yourself to full human when necessary.

Overall it helps your score more if you're Phantasm?

I worded that badly. -_-
Switch to Youkai for:
-Killing familiar-spawning enemies
-Supergrazing boss attacks for time orbs
Switch to Human for:
-Auto-collecting point items(this is very important)
-Shooting unfocused for time orbs. Mostly useful for bosses and indestructible/high-health familiars(Buddha's Stone Bowl, Marisa's familiars etc.)
Also, a very important thing to note(that I took for granted in my last post) is that those purple time orbs will make your meter fluctuate depending on if you're focused(goes towards youkai) or unfocused(goes towards human).
For instance, take those giant bullet-spewing enemies in stage 4. To get maximum points from them, you'd want to:
1. Kill the enemy with youkai shot to convert familiars into time orbs
2. Unfocus to let their time orbs bring you to 100% human
3. Auto-collect point items at maximum value
-
If you're going for score, it's all about getting time points. If you destroy an enemy that has familiars, the familiars will explode and they, as well as any bullets that they cancel, will turn into time points. This is usually much easier if you're youkai, where you can destroy the enemies but not their familiars. A lot of the time it's enough to push the human/youkai meter to 100% in either direction, and since all point item values will double when you're >80% human, it's important to manipulate the meter like that. (Notice how in my replay I try as much as possible to be >80% human when collecting point items.) Not to mention that collecting time points increases the base item value (as well as directly adding to your score, and to the spell card bonus if applicable). (Other ways of getting them, of course, are hitting enemies as >80% human, or grazing as >80% youkai. The time points from grazing as youkai are worth a lot more than the points you'd get from grazing alone as human.) Check out the wiki page for details.
I'm guessing the second biggest reason you see Youmu solo at the top of the scoreboards is that it's so easy to switch between human and youkai. (The biggest reason is the ridiculous number of time points you get as human due to the large number of bullets she shoots.)
Don't worry about scoring until you can clear it reliably though. (Not dying is good for your score.)
-
Done.

One Billion Points. (not very high considering I play for score.)
Koishi's Next. I should redo this, though. I did pretty bad.
I will read the other comments soon.
Hmm, I should do a Youmu Normal 1cc then.
-
Congrats. c:
I should figure out how to use Youmu one day as well.
-
Somehow I completely missed the fact that there was an English patch for 12.3 until this point!
Rectified, I gave Cirno Normal a shot. Almost perfect Alice; got hit once on her last card and twice on her survival. I like Cirno in UNL!

There was? I suppose its time that Zengeku-sucks-at-fighting-games goes to get raped by Normal mode. :)
Also, Marisa keeps screwing around with me. I can consistently ND1B her on Lunatic but i always fail at just one attack by mere durr mistakes. Its still pretty cool though. (PS: Her non-spells are trivial.)

Don't you auto-collect items by hitting the PoC anyway?
Yeah, that's what I mostly try to do in IN. That's why I usually play unfocused. It's for the time points. So, you're saying that collecting items as -100% is worth more than 100%?
Ack. It's complicated. I might understand half what you're saying, but I'll forget it when I boot up IN.
If you're going for score, it's all about getting time points. If you destroy an enemy that has familiars, the familiars will explode and they, as well as any bullets that they cancel, will turn into time points.

So basically:
Kill familiar with Youkai
Unfocus to receive time points.
Hit PoC

Captured IN #147 :toot:
So now I have 2 cards left to capture on IN and MoF.
And considering I can Spell Practice for Kaguya's third and final last spells, I can expect to capture those before I capture Terukuni Throughout the World and Suwa War.
Edit: Rising World capture
-
How did I capture ALL OF KAGUYA'S LAST SPELLS
YES, EVEN THE LUNATIC ONES
-
Hmm... it would seem that i finally understand the dodging of Prismrivers 2nd non-spell on Lunatic with Reimu... now i just need to capture everything in one battle. And using Marisa is cheating.
I uploaded the final parts of Double Spoiler onto Youtube. Just incase anyone wanna see em'.

222/222 as Reimu and Yukari in IN's spell practice. Hell yes, although my perfectionist nature is now telling me to do that same thing as every team and separate character...has anyone actually done something so crazy? Also, LLS Lunatic 1CC as MarisaA. Now what the hell was that Reimu fight!? It was harder than anything else on PC-98 and an insane resource eater!

All 222 of IN's spells captured. :toot:
Spread out amongst the teams. I'm not going to try to do them all with 1 team.

This is a normal run.
(http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8383)A pretty bad one at that.
So I just played IN for the first time this year and got pretty surprised by the results, especially because I did crap and did not remember most things. I also only used deathbombs throughout the run.
Failed things like the stage 3 stage portion, First Pyramid, the stage 4 stage portion (although the rest was perfect), stuff like that.
Caught 26 spell cards.
I think a no bombs 1cc should be in my limit...
-
Wooooo Subterranean Sun (Lunatic) captured! I'm finally getting better at reading (and actually fitting through) the gaps in this card.
-
ALRIIIGHT
I timed out Star Maelstrom Normal. With no horizontal movement.
SUPER SUDDEN EDIT:
alright now it's youtubed (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88u-X7Vobt8)

Caught Keine's "Emperor of the East" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8386) on my first try! (Sakuya Solo)
Also caught Phoenix Rebirth (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8387) and Lunatic Red Eyes (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8388), also with Sakuya Solo, though not on my first try.

Anyway, I think I discovered that a hard or even lunatic 1cc of 12.3 with Sanae isn't out of my reach. alt 236 is broooooken. Really, the only obstacle is Utsuho's last spell card. @_@
-
Freaking yes. Only one more shot type to go. (http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t270/FoxFanatic1995/th008.jpg)
And then I'm done with UFO foreeeever. Oh, and guess which shot type I still have to beat Extra with.
Oh, and IN's extra is easy.

:3c

I was playing for Purvis' sake. I wouldn't have touched IN otherwise, it's far and away my least favourite Windows game.
Though now that I've completed the routes he asked me to help him out on, I'm tempted to beat IN with Magic Team just for my own sake. And also so I can see Keine again. Keineeeeeeee <3
Until Purvis wants to see how IN Extra is done... >:3
hahahahah no, I'll do anything possible to avoid having to fight Mokou. Amulet danmaku is my greatest weakness. :ohdear: Yes, I know it's easy for everyone else. Shut up.

But wait, you cleared it with the Scarlet Team, right? Because Remilia's bomb RAPES Mokou's noncards.

How strange. As the run I just posted should prove, I've never gotten the hang of Remilia's bomb, preferring instead to rely on Sakuya's. That said, I really like Remilia's focus-mode spellcard circles. I can just set 'em up wherever I want for incoming fairies. Whee, memorization \o\
-
Yeah, Sakuya's bomb is generally (?) better unless there are tons of familiars in the way. But it's not like it matters in an Extra stage.
Therefore, you can skip virtually all the noncards and use spell practice to grind through the spellcards.
-
Don't you auto-collect items by hitting the PoC anyway?
In IN you have to focus to collect items above the PoC while at less than full power. In EoSD and PCB you always had to be at full power.

Assuming that you "Border Team" whore throughout your entire courier, I would say that a 1cc with a different Team would just be a "step away". Or 2. Or 3. Or*brick'd*
Seriously, I'd probably say that it's harder simply because of control difficulties and the way you play; trust me when I say that I've seen people become spoiled over using certain Shot Types.

Not Touhou, but close enough.
SSG Stage 4; 2 Miss No Bomb clear. If things are the way that I think they are; I should be able to get that 1cc tomorrow. Though I must ask, how does the game save full-game replays? I know we can save stage runs by enabling it in the options, but for full runs? Does it auto-save when I enter a score on the scoreboard? Or what? I don't even know :derp:

I have like 5/100 on it :ohdear:
-
MoF Stage 6 Lunatic, perfect up to Source of Rains (died twice). Then opted to time-out VoWG instead of capturing it. Still died a bunch of times, but I'm only getting better at this one. Mark my words, I will time this card out NDNB someday.

Had a 1-death timeout of Hell God Sword and a Perfect Youmu battle following it. :)
I've just captured LFO four times in a row (3.00 - 4.00 - 4.00 - 1.00). What happen

Oh geez. Good for you that you aren't allergic to the stage portion like me. I have 4/50 on it. I have only fought Byakuren 30 times though. The remaining 20 runs were against Good Omen exclusively while gunning for a timeout which I indeed succeeded add though the card did act very merciful when it happened. In my own defence i will say that i had several 1-death timeouts of it before getting it were it behaved like it usually does. Pretty nasty.
Discounting my timeout attempts my capture rate would be 4/30. So often i clip a glowing purple bullet (do we have a name for these things) and rage. One of the reasons i started to despise her battle.
Speaking of final bosses. I normally love Utsuho but bad stuff happened between us today. I managed to ruin a perfect run against her by messing up TWICE at Subterranean Sun. I would put that in the rage thread if it wasn't because i rarely do this well against Utsuho because i suck at 4th non-spell + 4th spellcard (messes with me eyes)
Normally i have to accept a death at either 1st or 2nd card because i suck. But i don't mind because its SA.
-
i rarely do this well against Utsuho because i suck at 4th non-spell
You suck at the fourth noncard and not the second? If you can do the second, you should be able to do the fourth. Second's much harder, fourth is just the same except in reverse, faster, and significantly less dense (which is what makes it easier).
-

Well, the colouring of the bullets and the increased number of bubbles make it extremely difficult to read the first barrage of smaller bullets that comes after the bubbles, at least that is the case with me.

Jesus Christ Blazing Star.
I had 67 attempts on it, always fucking up when the timer got to >10 seconds (aka when all that dinging starts).

6-4 (http://score.royalflare.net/th125/levelscene125-6.html#L6S4). I'm pretty speechless about this one.

SWRS hard 1cc with Sanae. Her alt 236 is more of a game breaker than anything Cirno could possibly have. @_@ I even won no deaths.
-
4 deaths LLS Extra run. 2 on the stage.
I can get this down to one or two, maybe.
-
Mountain of Faith Extra clear! Marisa C because everything Reimu can do Marisa can do better ( except for dodge -1 pixel attacks).
Captured the final card... It's not that hard. Especially when you only have to dodge one of the final phase's rings. Yeah. Marisa C is that strong...
When you get all four options on the boss... Although even with just two she's still better than Reimu B...
-
Finally! Lunatic perfect Kanako battle! :toot:
...I somehow died twice to the death fairy, though. :derp:
-
PCB Lunatic clear with SakuyaA. Cleared with 4 lives remaining despite clipping a lot of easy stuff including Letty's final card. Sakuya clearing is easy folks. Go play with ReimuB or MarisaA/B. You only cheat yourself by doing otherwise. Learning general spawning positions of enemies makes the PCB stages quite trivial which makes Sakuya's range pointless and the other characters damage output is much greater than Sakuya's. Plus Sakuya gets a quite tricky opener at the Prismrivers... yeah she sucks alright.
EDIT: On the topic of PCB, Perfect Ran battle.
You suck at the fourth noncard and not the second? If you can do the second, you should be able to do the fourth. Second's much harder, fourth is just the same except in reverse, faster, and significantly less dense (which is what makes it easier).
Uhh, yeah. I tend to capture 2nd non-spell consistently but i get hit quite often by the 4th. I think its because the bubbles are yellow at the 4th non-spell and because of that makes it harder to spot those bullets you can actually get hit by. But maybe i'm handling it wrong.
-
If you're following Utsuho after one of the bubble waves, you're doing it wrong. While that seems like a good idea to maximize damage, it's better to go in the opposite direction, as that's where the next unaimed blast is less dense.
Of course, I'm trying to give advice without having seen how you do it (and I haven't fought Utsuho in a month, so I might be a bit rusty in that sense), so I may need to see a replay if this isn't helping.

Merlin's opener is the only reason not to use Sakuya. And why would I want to torture myself and actually have to learn the game when the game is clippier than EoSD and throws more bullshit patterns than EoSD does. Also, dying when you press the bomb button BEFORE you get hit is bullshit. Using Sakuya just evens the odds a bit more for a game I don't really find fun.

MoF Normal 1cc GET! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8426)
Suwako Moriya, here I come!
Edit: Only needed three attempts to get to Suwako. Of course, I was then promptly murdered on her first card .....
Ex!Kanako's first card is lol, though.
-
Merlin's opener is the only reason not to use Sakuya. And why would I want to torture myself and actually have to learn the game when the game is clippier than EoSD and throws more bullshit patterns than EoSD does. Also, dying when you press the bomb button BEFORE you get hit is bullshit. Using Sakuya just evens the odds a bit more for a game I don't really find fun.
I don't know what you mean by dying before you get hit. I only die when i get hit by bullets. I would think the same goes for you as well. If all you want is a 1cc though you can just bombspam everything that's remotely hard. Try to accept the fact that not bombing makes things take twice as much time to kill than if you were using other shot types.
Besides, we are not talking the UFO kind of memorization like the orb spam in Stage 3 or MoF's Sanae 1st card or the like. Just simple enemy spawn points.
-
6-7 (http://score.royalflare.net/th125/levelscene125-6.html#L6S7) took a few hours on and off. No, not because it was difficult. It was too random to score consistently; I had 674k, 694k, 694600 and now... this.
EDIT 2: And unlike all the other (score-focused) replays that you can see there, I did my one from below Yuugi instead of above. Just thought I would point that out.
Also, this makes it 10 WRs, 11 if you count 5-8.
Now, I do believe that my fingers are getting sore from overplaying that single Scene; I now have 1.8k shots on it. Just a few hours ago, this was a few hundred.
EDIT:
Besides, we are not talking the UFO kind of memorization like the orb spam in Stage 3
Uh... it's actually pretty straightforward. Both of them.
EDIT 3: Yay, 6-8. Seriously, I don't know what to do for it, and neither does anybody else really. The precision that you need is ridiculous. Not to mention luck. Oh well, onto Level 7.
EDIT 4: Hm. Phar and UKT up their scores. That lazy update should do for now.
-
I don't know what you mean by dying before you get hit. I only die when i get hit by bullets.
I think he means that he presses the bomb button before he gets hit, but it doesn't activate for some reason and a bullet is able to kill him. That happened to me once in my PCB Hard 1cc, it's not unheard of.
-
PCB has the worst input lag in the series. Get the vsync patch and watch the game become ten times easier.
-
I may have to try that. At least it would fix the input lag issue.
Unfortunately, such a patch won't help my inability to read most the patterns.
-
It'll make more of a difference than you'd think. I went from barely able to 1cc Hard to 6 lives left on my first try.

PCB Stage 4 Hard Practice: ended 6/2.
Why bother posting? My best Normal ending is 6/1.
I don't know if this is ZUN's shitty difficulty programming or what? ???
-
Tried the patch out.
Almost No Deathed Yuyuko on Lunatic when I used to almost game over on her in practice. Of course, I still need to practice the early stages.
Tried it on IN. Almost perfected Kaguya. And by that I mean, derped Brilliant Dragon Bullet right before capture, capture Buddhist Diamond, derp Salamnder Shield right before capture, derp Lifespring Infinity right before capture, derp Hourai Jewel right before capture, Derp all 5 Last Spells right before capture. I still screwed up on Eirin's opener though.
I just wish the FPS change setting would work so I could do some of the 75 FPS, 120 FPS stuff at times. Or maybe mess around with some TAS.
Also, what's the Bug Fix Cherry setting do? And what's the other stuff in there that isn't obvious?
Edit: Actually it does work on higher FPS. Not lower though, which means it's only 2/3 the fun.
-
So you mean to say that you didn't use vsync before? PCB is pretty much unplayable without it. You'll have your lunatic 1cc soon, don't worry.
On a more personal note: 2cc'd Hisoutensoku Normal with Sanae. 1cc'ing should be no problem at all with some practice at certain cards.
-
If Enigma wasn't using Vsync before, then that raises a question on my end. I was using Vsync in that PCB Hard 1cc, yet I know I pressed the bomb button long before I got hit that one time (don't argue with me here, I'm 100% sure I pressed it first). Might have only been a one-time slip-up in the programming - I wonder if the fact that it occurred during a slow-down portion of Youmu's last card had anything to do with it.
-
It happened to me on a Hard ReimuA run after I tried the patch as well causing me to lose the 1cc and Extra unlock for her. But bombs definitely go off more often now. Movement seems a bit better too.
Also, made it to Stage 6 Lunatic with SakuyaB with several deaths with bombs in stock.
-
Played EoSD Hard after almost no Touhou for like, months. First try that I didn't restart due to stage 1 failure went rather well. How well? No deaths Patchy battle, AND I reached Vampire Illusion before game overing. Considering how severely out of practice I am, I'm... Rather amazed by this, really. It's not a 1cc, but it's better than I was able to consistently do even back when I was playing Touhou a lot.
-
One bomb away from having a perfect Reimu Prismriver fight. Too bad it was in a run where I died on so much easy stuff (twice on Midboss!Alice -.-) and game-overed on Lost Soul's Village ....
-
Holy crap I finally recaptured Small Demon's Revival! It's been fucking two months (I kid you not, it took me that long), but this showed there's hope for me yet.
-
PCB Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8445)
Died with bombs in stock 3 times, one of them when a spellcard was clearing causing me to lose a crapload of Cherry. So close to 800,000,000 also. At least this is done. Maybe I'll try it with other characters some day.
-
IN lunatic 1cc with the magic team without using "Malice Cannon". (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8446)
Dear god, magic team is terrible without "Malice Cannon".
Almost had a no deaths Kaguya fight, but messed up "Hourai Jewel" at 10 seconds remaining because this thing lasts too goddamn long as magic team! >_<
First time I fought Reimu in like 6 months lol.
Anyway, all teams 1cc'd.
-
For the sake of completion, Hell's Tokamak timeout first try. Though I did lose focus at around 20.00.
-
And another Small Demon's Revival (Hard) capture, my first time successfully going around Orin more than once without dying.
Now if only the stage portion would stop shitting in my face, I might actually get the perfect run I want.
-
For the sake of completion, Hell's Tokamak timeout first try. Though I did lose focus at around 20.00.
Tell it to Zengeku
-
Decided to try out Hisoutensoku again since I was incredibly bored.
Cirno Normal Mode 1cc (replay as attachment).
What exactly is everyone's stance on using Cirno for story mode? I've been hearing snippets that she makes it too easy, but I don't know for sure. At the same time, I'm not sure how much I even like the way spellcards are structured in story mode (gameplay-wise, that is), so I might not bother trying to learn anyone else for the higher difficulties, just 1cc them once and move on.
-
HOLY FREAKING CROW
I JUST MADE A PERFECT NORMAL BYAKUREN FIGHT.
In a 1cc!
But I ended up beating the game with 8 lives and 8 bombs... Seriously.
-
OH MY GOD! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8458)
That's been basically 90% of my verbal vocabulary the last 10 minutes. My first serious Normal mode run at PCB since this run (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=4686.msg224456#msg224456), at 1 in the morning, just to see how far I can get and unlock Yuyuko via continues....and I got it. My first Normal 1cc, approximately 6 months since starting on the Touhou series (yes I suck that bad/ am that lazy).
Honestly I expected more crying at this moment. I think it's shock and extreme sleepiness keeping the tears at bay. All I can say is I hope the Komejis have plenty of winter wear.
:toot: :toot: :toot:
(Also, I ended up breaking the keyboard shelf on my computer table. :derp:)
-
Managed to 1cc Mountain of Faith (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8459) and EoSD (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8456) for first time on normal, raising my grand total of normal 1ccs to 4. Get ready, Yuyuko!

2DNB Orin. So she isn't very BS after all.
And a 2DNB(1G) of the entire SA Extra. Derp'd at Super-Ego and Rorschach, ugh.
P.S. Maybe it's just me but does anyone else think these (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ8nkezy_rw) videos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mhYv9msSN0) simply scream "30 fps" ? :ohdear:

lol, I remember seeing those vids over a year ago. Yah, they're definitely BS.
-
I'd say under 30 FPS for the second one. Hitbox patch probably used also during the actual play then recorded without it.
Also, I didn't know Marisa only got 2 bombs per life in EoSD >_> :P
So it's like he hacked the FPS and the bombs per life, and some of the dodges are obvious TAS. And the mistakes are so intentional just to make people think it's legitimate.
Will edit after watching Yukari
Edit: Didn't even have to watch it all the way. The first spell alone was BS. Also, the FPS in the replay is off. I know 61 FPS in a replay can happen normally, but that long signifies hacking the replay, which is common in TAS. Remember the 67 FPS UFO "1cc" TAS
Will still watch the rest
And he has a Mokou one too.
-
Also, I didn't know Marisa only got 2 bombs per life in EoSD >_> :P
You can alter the settings probably already knew this :V
Remember the 67 FPS UFO "1cc" TAS
I've seen all sorts of FPS rates. More common ones include 75, 72, and 70. 58/62 are special cases, and me trying to explain it will probably cause an awful lot of confusion.
Didn't realize I broke 54 million so I'll throw that out as well. This is also proof for my previous post for those of you who think I was bluffing.

I'm curious about this, as so far I can only lower my frame rate with Fraps, which means I've never got above 60, and 58~62 is the normal speed using this method.
On a related note, I've seen a fixed 2 fps for the entire length of an Imperishable Shooting capture. I should've saved that video to my drive. That person took it down after my endless trolling BV

SA Stage 6 Lunatic ND1BNG. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8461)
So close! I let myself get walled during Peta Flare and I bombed. Now that I think about it, this is almost playing out like my stint with the Hard version - got a ND1B run, bombing on Giga Flare, and it took a while longer before actually perfecting the stage. Hopefully it won't take me as long this time.
-
lol, I remember seeing those vids over a year ago. Yah, they're definitely BS.
and here I was raging at a Lunatic Red member being better at Touhou than me

I swear, skill-atrophied Donut is the most inconsistent player ever. I royally screw up all of Shou, yet capture Greatest Treasure and nearly time out Vajra. I clip Demarcation, yet ONE DEATH NO BOMBS REMILIA?! WHAT.

PCB Lunatic No Bombs 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8475)
Im pretty happy with this run despite dying 5 times on stage 4 which I already perfected

I stuck a whole bunch of my replays together (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5t5hcFzr-s).

OH MY GOD! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8458)
I will download this replay and watch it warmly. It is full of drama and intrigue.

Well, I just did my first normal 1CC, two years after I started playing touhou. Maybe I'm not as much of a scrub as I thought.
IN Normal 1CC: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8478
In any case, which game should I try next? PCB? or maybe MoF?
-
Yay! First IN lunatic 1cc! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8480)
I admit I have no idea how to handle Hourai Barrage (and Life Spring Infinity for that matter), despite dozens and dozens of spell practice attempts. Most of which involve me dying near the very beginning of the spell. So, knowing this, I decided to not even bother trying to avoid walling myself on Hourai Barrage, and just stream as slowly as I could, and then bomb. Rinse and repeat. However, I'm pleased with the run, overall, considering. Massive room for improvement in nearly every stage, of course, but hey, it's still a 1cc.
So, that's two lunatics down, now ^^;

Oh well, at least I cleared.
I'm this close to calling this the easiest game to no bomb 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8481)
Oh and congrats to all the 1st 1cc's. Those are always the best. b^^b
-
Virtue of Wind God 2-death timeout. Stupid deaths at that. Survived until 44 seconds. Died 2nd time at 1 second left. Should i be angry about that?
I'm this close to calling this the easiest game to no bomb 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8481)
Its not.
-
SoEW is probably easier.
Only problem spots I can think of at the moment are stage 3's second half, maybe stage 4, Marisa, and Mima.
I've actually gotten to the Stage 3 boss without bombs before, and I suck. Of course, I was trying to bomb.
-
Ja and i suppose that PCB would be easier too. Maybe also IN and LLS and SA due to the crapload of resources being spammed.
-
Maybe also IN and LLS and SA due to the crapload of resources being spammed.
...unlike UFO?
Let's recap: I died 12 times and still had 2 lives left.
That's 14 extra lives. I don't think any other Touhou game spams that many extends.
(and those 6 deaths on stage 3 were completely avoidable)
-
Nice job, Jaimers. I tried for that a bit a while ago, but it turns out that UFO disagrees with me just as strongly now as it did back when it first released (which is a nice way of saying that I rage quit after playing stage two a bunch).
SA has 12 extra lives available, I think PCB does too. IN has nine, MoF and EoSD each have eight. While I don't have too much experience with UFO, I wouldn't be surprised if 14 lives made it the easiest of the lot once all the stages have been learned. Of the no bomb 1cc's I've done, SA and PCB were definitely easier than IN, which in turn was much easier than MoF, which seems easier than EoSD based on my attempts at it so far. Of course, there is still room for overall difficulty level to make a difference here (IN is much easier than MoF, despite only giving one additional life), but the general pattern is pretty telling.
Not that you should let this detract from your accomplishment. If nothing else, you can be pretty sure I'll never do this :p
-
UFO does give out the most lives potentially. Potentially. ReimuA's forward can break those UFOs much easier than say, ReimuB. Let's assume the case of ReimuB for a moment to see how much of a kick in the balls it is compared with our "cookie cutter".
ReimuB, "PSM" assuming no safespot shenanigans is basically an auto-kill. Then, there are certain UFOs that can't be destroyed with ReimuB, but they can with ReimuA, which leaves you with... 12? All of a sudden, you have something like SA. And this doesn't even start to count on how difficult Byakuren is with ReimuB as opposed to ReimuA.
LLS is indeed possible (see: me). There is one forced death, but other than that, nothing else really stops you... save for another possible one on Yuka's opening (or 2 or 3 if you don't know how to take it on) and another one for the final attack (granted, it's possible but ridiculous). Also, Stage5!Yuka's final. Cutting down, you really only have 8 mistakes to play with (or was it 7?).
(and those 6 deaths on stage 3 were completely avoidable)
Excuses excuses; didn't you see that replay where the guy left Stage 3 with 1 life and made it to Stage 6 with 8? A mistake is just a mistake no matter how you look at it (wait, this sounds familiar).
I'd probably pick up that No Focus again, but my timetable is all sorts of messed.
Nice job, Jaimers. I tried for that a bit a while ago, but it turns out that UFO disagrees with me just as strongly now as it did back when it first released (which is a nice way of saying that I rage quit after playing stage two a bunch).
:3c (huh, :3 and :3c are the same thing; makes sense I guess)
Not that you should let this detract from your accomplishment. If nothing else, you can be pretty sure I'll never do this :p
Oh, and of course this.
Also, if you want to comb through royalflare for No Bomb replays do a search for "ノーボム". No Death replays are No Miss (as per shmup convention), marked with "ノーミス".
-
What forces a death in LLS?
I can't think of anything that actually would force a death for sure.
Yes, Yuka's final attacks are hard enough that you'll probably die, but that's not forced. Stage 4 midboss would probably kill you, but that's not forced either.
-
What forces a death in LLS?
Stage 5 Pre-Boss.
Yes, Yuka's final attacks are hard enough that you'll probably die, but that's not forced. Stage 4 midboss would probably kill you, but that's not forced either.
Statistically speaking, I could easily make the prediction that you'll die to each one; the fact that it took me 1 hour per attack to successfully survive them via savescumming should be evidence enough. I've found a roundabout method of dealing with the Stage 4 mid-bosses, so I didn't take that into consideration. Well, if you die to one you probably won't die to the other (hint hint).
In this sense, they're forced deaths in practice because seriously, what are the chances that you'll survive such attacks?
-
Can't stage 5 preboss theoretically be dodged though?
Not that I would be able to. I always bomb that when I'm playing.
-
Can't stage 5 preboss theoretically be dodged though?
Everything can be theoretically dodged, see PoFV; LLS Rank system says hi by the way. For a comparison, imagine the perfect cross between Flan's final and Nue's final both on the "timeout" phases; something that's frequently occurring as the former and as fast as the latter. The last 1-2 second is beyond this.
For the record, I gave up trying to pass it after 2 hours of savescumming. This is also why LLS Stage 5 NDNB never came about
.
-
Just because something can be theoretically passed doesn't mean that it's not something that would be considered a forced death for no bomb purposes. For instance, I categorize the EoSD stage four books and the start of PCB stage six as forced deaths despite the fact that I do survive them every now and then.
-
Another UFO 1cc (ReimuB).
Another MoF extra stage clear, although rather messily once again (Also ReimuB, now with more needles).
And I captured nearly all of Shou's cards, including that psychotic double green chase-me laser one, which is the first time I've captured it. HOW YA LIKE ME NOW, TIGER?!
-
I'll take the Books any day over the LLS S5 rings of doom.

Actually, that guy even had 16 total lives over my 14. With ReimuB no less.
ReimuB might not kill UFO's as fast as ReimuA, but she sure as hell can chain easier.

MoF extra clear! That brings my total to 3!

My Touhou chennel has reached 100 subscribers \o/ Well yeah, I consider this a Touhou accomplishment too :ohdear:

Aww, i only have 40. And my stuff is superior even. *Gets shot*
-
I have 52. That's 52 more than I expected.
Anyway, randomly played phantasm. Utterly unnotable run, except that I captured BoLaD without safespotting. So fun. <3
-
but she sure as hell can chain easier.
All up, if you count the most optimal results (har), I'd say that they both Shot Types potentially have the same resources gathered, with a minor difference for the end result (I'm taking 2-3 fragments here). However, in a practical situation, that might be a 1 life difference and only that. In other words, I should've only seen a 1 life difference between the two replays. However, there was a sparking difference of 2 between the two. Why? Because you took more defensive measures and made (some) very silly mistakes. Here's a full list with no distinguishing markers between defensiveness and derp:
- End of Stage 1; UFO "aborted" (I'll use this term for akin to killing off a baby; don't hurt me for my dark humor plz :V); -1 fragment
- End of Stage 2; UFO not summoned; -2 fragments (yes it's very possible even in that current situation); but for the sake of leniency (I've seen it happen) I'll say -1 fragment in case the UFO gets covered too much and / or you drop a fragment
- End of Stage 3; uhh... -2 fragments at least and 3 at max
- Stage 4; multi-color UFO aborted, thus denying an additional UFO; potentially -2 fragments here but I'll say -1 because getting -2 requires some pretty good timing
- Stage 4; 2nd-orb spam you chose to stream rather than jump straight into the pattern for a UFO; -2 fragments.
- Stage 5; missed the UFO before Nazzy; -1 fragment
- End of Stage 5; missed another UFO; -1 fragment
- Stage 6 you technically missed a fragment, but I'll let that one slide because it's actually quite difficult to to perform this feat
This totals 9 fragments at minimum.
For jad; his run constitutes losing about 5-6 fragments assuming full optimal play and 2-4 assuming a few defensive measures if memory serves.
To conclude, no I don't see how ReimuB is chaining things easily; the same amount of "effort" put in would've only really netted +1 life above ReimuA.
Just because something can be theoretically passed doesn't mean that it's not something that would be considered a forced death for no bomb purposes. For instance, I categorize the EoSD stage four books and the start of PCB stage six as forced deaths despite the fact that I do survive them every now and then.
Am I missing something or are the two sentences contradicting each other? The second sentence is something that I'm agreeing with here, but the first one is either saying the contrary, or I'm just lacking sleep at this point (no sleep for 36 hours and rising) and I'm confusing the crap out of my own brain.
I have 52. That's 52 more than I expected.

Yes, but how about ReimuB's bomb, hmm? :smug:
Yes, this is completely irrelevent to the topic at hand.
Anyway, Pacifist Mokou. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8491)
Now only Suwako remains, but that won't be a whole lot of fun.
Her first 2 cards last over 99 seconds alone and that is going to be really boring! >_<

Hisoutensoku Normal 1cc with Sanae. Not too bad considering that i suck at fighting games. The game is pretty fun though so maybe this is my chance to get better. :)

UFO Extra Clear!...
With all the freaking shot types.
In order of clearing:
Marisa B, because of the spread and can get high shotgun damage without being two pixels in front of an enemy.
Reimu B... It helps in Undefined Darkness? Oh, and her bomb can still damage Nue by a bit.
Sanae A, because... The bomb clears the whole screen, which is nice.
Reimu A, because it's forward focus
Sanae B, because I didn't want to laze out by making it my first choice.
Marisa A, because everything she can do Reimu A can do better ('cept for chain UFOs.)

PCB Extra 1DNB1BB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8496)
I am so going for the perfect as the death was completely lame, and the only hard parts are Charming Siege, Unilateral Contact, the Survival, and Descent of Izuna Gongen.

I think you're just confused, Baity. Though my use of a double negative probably doesn't help matters any.

UFO Extra Clear!...
With all the freaking shot types.
In order of clearing:
Marisa B, because of the spread and can get high shotgun damage without being two pixels in front of an enemy.
Reimu B... It helps in Undefined Darkness? Oh, and her bomb can still damage Nue by a bit.
Sanae A, because... The bomb clears the whole screen, which is nice.
Reimu A, because it's forward focus
Sanae B, because I didn't want to laze out by making it my first choice.
Marisa A, because everything she can do Reimu A can do better ('cept for chain UFOs.)
This is... kind of backwards, actually :V
MarisaB's spread does such pathetic damage it's hardly even good for popcorn fairies, and when SHOTGUNNING, you do as much as a forward focus type. Anything less then shotgun is only homing-shot damage. Not even kidding. This shot type should have been done more like PatchWater in SA so the damage would balance more.
And then MarisaA is probably the best for Extra (or SanaeB) since she does almost the exact same damage as ReimuA, plus her piercing actually helps a good bit on UFOs, making Nue's UFO cards a nice bit easier. The first game where piercing actually DOES something.
I think I did UFO Extra all-clear the the exact same order as that except backwards and switch ReimuB/SanaeA, and SanaeB/MarisaA.

Mokou's Rings of Death capture! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8499)
Also worth watching for the silliest capture of Possessed by Phoenix yet. Everything else about this run is utter garbage (all right, I did get Hourai Doll).

According to the shot type analysis, Marisa A does 153 DPS while Reimu A does 172. :/
And, well, Sanae's six frogs at Focused 4.00 power make up a whopping 125 DPS without the base (and with splash) which explains how she does so well at the UFO cards.
Oh, and during Nue's harder cards (Blue UFOs sometime, Undefined Darkness, Rainbow UFOs) , there's going to be at least something at midrange for you to get some shotgunning in.
Not that I'm trying to justify using Marisa B, since she sucks in almost every way... But she's definitely geared for use more on the lower difficulties where you can get up to the boss...
Marisa B at 1.xx power is stronger than Reimu B at 4.00 power.
-
I captured Border of Death, Green UFO Invasion, Rainbow UFO Invasion, Icicle Fall (HA), that freaking Prismriver triangle attack, Reisen (?) U Inaba's shifting suppository attack, all of the Jeweled Pagoda cards, I've captured all 3 of Sub Boss Kanako's spells, and one of Suwako's (damn those iron rings!!), I've captured all of Nazrin's, Kogasa's, Ichirin's, and Shou's spells in one form or another, as well as most of Minamitsu's and Hijiri's. Speaking of, I defeated Byakuren without dying or bombing :)
-
Had to watch the replay to make sure I actually did it, but after some 15 or so 1DNB attempts, I finally captured Mountain of Faith Normal!
That just leaves Misayama Hunting Shrine Ritual, and Kanako can keep that junk for all I care
.
-
I just owned yukari taking the place of number 2 on my list of extra bosses I have beaten.
Second to Ran.
-
Had a decent Shou run. 3DNB. It was just stupid deaths at non-spell 1 and 3 and RTG.
EDIT:
Oh and 1DNB Orin. Died at Ghost Wheels. Messed up because i played without sound so i couldn't listen to the spawning of ghost wheels.
-
8-4 (http://score.royalflare.net/th125/levelscene125-8.html#L8S4) just jumped in my books for being moderately difficult to score well in.
Here, have an uncensored 8-2 as well. 5 minute work.

Now if only I could stop messing up perfect run attempts.

Yeah, I unlocked Hatate!
...
I got three Extra scenes before I cleared 58 total scenes.
And the last scene I cleared was 12-6. And the replay of that scene works.

Likely still processing, but...
Rings of Death capture (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_vFtsPpsYU&fmt=18) is now up.

1DNB Utsuho. Fucked up at Hells Tokamak. Durrr...
-
Beat Yukari without bombing with MarisA(first clear as MarisA). No, not the entire stage, that kicked my ass and I bombed some on it. Broke a border on Yukari's first spell cause it sucks, died on Double Death Butterfly, died to Boundary of Humans and Youkai with 1 second left, messed up and died on the second survival.
-
Scored my first captures of Spring Kyoto Dolls and Butterfly Delusion. Also recaptured Perfect Cherry Blossom of Sumizome -Bloom- after pulling off two perfect cutbacks.
These were all on my first try at them in a month.

My first try on Double Spark, and I captured it in the best way possible (http://j.imagehost.org/0851/leeroyyyyyyy.png)

After frustration, tooth gnashing, and 3-4 weeks of agony, I managed to 1cc UFO... normal. First 1cc, yay! It's not a pretty replay by any means, but a 1cc is a 1cc.

Captured Flandre's survival card.
That leaves Catadioptric and QED left to capture from EoSD Extra, but I suck at both of those. I can't capture Counter Clock either, but at least I managed to somehow get it once or twice in the past.

UFO was my first one credit. Shortly followed by MoF.
My main problem on EVERY TOUHOU GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED is DYING on the LAST F*CKING CARD of ALL of the FINAL BOSSES!
But that was overcome within four days.
Resurrection Butterfly? DEATH
Mountain of Faith? DEATH
Hell's Artificial Sun? DEATH
Flying Object Flying Fantastica? DEATH

What? Why not? I'm pretty sure i was a hard mode player when the game came out by i 1cc'ed it almost immediately on Normal... with several lives in stock.

Heck i play UFO on easy and I've already given up on ever beating it..
Brofists are TOO MUCH.
So to your achievement I saute you
WHY is it that stage 3's often feel harder than stage 4's
This has happened with MoF and SA
-
This has happened with MoF and SA
Satori is not easier than Yuugi. At all.
Aya is not easier than Nitori. They're about even.
Except on Hard. Aya doesn't use sine bullets, now does she?
-
Dying as QED cleared FFFFFFFFFFF (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8516)

I had max lives by stage four, and Murasa mopped the floor hard with my face.
I think I died at least eight times. http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8375 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8375)
IN Lunatic 1cc will come by and I still won't be able to do this. pfft

Okay so I know I was mistaken about MoF. I realized that just as I finished typing that last comment.
But I'm basing this on how I play SA. I use Marisa/Alice...Which consequently make Satori dissapointingly easy and Yuugi frustrating.
In the end I haven't played MoF in a while so that explains my mistake there.
-

736k on 9-7 (http://i60.servimg.com/u/f60/12/80/32/92/untit103.jpg) makes me feel all sorts of weird. Especially when I didn't save the replay because I WAS WELL AWARE IT WASN'T GOING TO BEAT THE OTHER SCORE OF 750k SO I DIDN'T SAVE OUT OF HABIT UGH
[14:29] <Baity> that last shot was basically, defensive shot, charge press up
[14:29] <Baity> scope up, snap, done
Still an accomplishment nonetheless.
-
But EoSD, PCB, IN stage 4 are harder than stage 3. :V
I think.

bomb moar
seriously, that's all there is to it
this of course is simply a byproduct of the fact that UFO is a crappy excuse for a game, but still, on Normal you shouldn't have problems racking up a good stash of bombs (and/or lives); let 'em fly!
-
Dunno about IN, but EoSD and PCB S4s are much harder indeed. There's a reason people bitch about NDL so much.
And grats to all the recent 1cc the last week!
-
There's a reason people bitch about NDL so much.
Because they're a bunch of pansies? NDL is the easiest thing in both stages put together.
Wait, left, stream to center, wait, right, stream to center. Applies on all difficulties with all shottypes. Try it.
-
I reached the 1200-point extend in PCB (1339 points) and I can likely reach the 1400 if I try again.
-
What? Why not? I'm pretty sure i was a hard mode player when the game came out by i 1cc'ed it almost immediately on Normal... with several lives in stock.
I'll add another example to the contrary. Just before getting UFO, I had 1cc'd PCB and MoF on Lunatic. It took me about half-a-dozen legit tries (i.e. actually going until I gameovered) before I could 1cc UFO Normal. If UFO were more like the other Touhou games, I would have gotten this in one try. It's gotta be something about the gameplay (read: UFOs) that makes things harder than they should be, for all difficulties it seems.
To stay on topic: Practicing some of Utsuho's combos in Hisoutensoku, and I'm noticing quite a bit of improvement when it comes to "tech skill". Hopefully some of what I'm learning now will transfer over to human vs. human matches, should I get started in that again.

UFO is about microme-

Got a pretty good run on EoSD today.
(http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/3336/mrngg.th.png) (http://img338.imageshack.us/i/mrngg.png/)
failed only 3 cards. Agni Shine High Level(panicbombed), Eternal Meek and Scarlet Meister(trapped myself). I might get a full spellcard run someday
-
I 1cc'd UFO Normal before I got my SA Easy 1cc. What are you people talking about
-
Yeah, Subterranean's difficulty can be extreme balls at times.
As for UFO, I don't see what's so hard about the UFO collection gimmick.
The only problem I have with it is when a green flasher UFO strays into a horde of bullets before turning red. Hate that.
-

I need to know how much you played those two games during that time before I can really analyze your situation.

SA is indeed tougher than your average Touhou game, but it has a lot of static and micromemorizable attacks. Most of the game is designed to be practiced over and over, and once you learn something you usually don't forget how to do it right away. In addition, a bunch of things that aren't static or micromem. can be dealt with one bomb (i.e. Double Black Death Butterfly right after the third wave fires, or the Catwalk midway through the first wave of rings).
Well, you did list one problem with the UFOs there. I'm also under the impression that the room you have to pick up UFOs is way too small - you basically have to hit it with your hitbox. But when maneuvering through even a modest collection of bullets, possibly unfocused for a brief time, it's easy to get thrown off by the small collection range and end up missing. Then you combine that with the game's many "additive blending" bullets, which are already hard to read against each other, and you see how awkward UFO collection can be.
-
I just did a thoroughly miserable LLS lunatic run on a school computer that clearly isn't built to handle Anex86 like the others around it. It got even more miserable when an automatic updates window popped up, windowed the game, and took all control from me at the end of stage 4, costing me two lives before I got rid of the window.
The reason this goes here is that I STILL 1cc'd 1/0. :D
-
I 1cc'd UFO Normal before I got my SA Easy 1cc. What are you people talking about
What the hell man
I was able to 1cc EoSD before SA. (I play SA way much more than the other games.)
I can now 1cc IN on Hard and I still get my ass kicked on UFO Easy
However, in all honest opinion, if you take a look at my replay, most of my deaths weren't due to the UFO system. (The UFO system vomits extends and bombs, so it should be much easier to beat than your average Touhou) I just derped the whole thing really bad.
bomb moar
seriously, that's all there is to it
The reason why I didn't use bombs is because I never expected to get hit, so I kept losing the chance to death bomb. fff
At least I never got used to IN's lag, but overall I am hesitant to bombing. =/

UFO's difficulty is overrated.
Pacifist Suwako (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8520)
Well, that took absolutely zero effort. If you watch the replay you can see how sloppy I am and how much I'm not paying attention at all.
The timers are to fucking looooooong! >_<
Was at 0/3 after "Croaking Frog" but still made it somehow.
Well then, with this I've pacifisted every single extra and phantasm boss in the series. Yay me. :derp:
-
UFO's difficulty is overrated.
This is coming from the guy who can beat flanchan.zip without continues.
,,, :V.
-
I would like to see pacifist Flanchan. Considering how badly you kicked its ass, it should be possible. Pacifist CtC would be interesting too.
And congrats. You should be glad that Evil Eye Sigma is impossible to time out, cause that would just suck.
-
You're too good Jaimers. @_@
Now, of course, you must time out every last word. :3
-

Flanchan might be possible. might
But that is with massive bombspam to kill attacks because the timers are pretty high and timing them out normally is pretty unrealistic.
Besides I'd rather wait first until Sercan releases the completed Phantasm stage. (Flanchan.zip is a demo)
Haven't looked much into pacifist EX Suika or EX Reimu, but it might be worth exploring~
You should be sad that Evil Eye Sigma is impossible to time out, cause that would be awesome.
Fixed :V
Now, of course, you must time out every last word. :3
I actually already did most of the hard ones so hmm... :3
Anyway,
IN no bombs lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8524)
It sucks is not as good as the previous attempts but at least this one is actually no bombs.
Disabled my bomb key this time because seriously.
I still pressed it, so it was a good thing that I did. ^^;
And a Momiji timeout with the streaming at the end.
-
Someone get Shuusou Gyoku working on Jaimers's computer so he can pacifist Marisa and Reimu

He should do Stage 4 Boss actually.
