Title: Touhou ::smug:: Thread (VIII)
Post by: LHCling on April 29, 2010, 09:21:11 PM
Looking for names here people. I myself honestly believe that "Bragging Rights" was the epitome, but you might be more creative than me so fire away! Thanks Naut and Suikama!

Previous Thread (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=5218.0). Usual applies; post your 1cc lists if you want, unless you already have it conveniently linked like Krim did and / or you're lazy or etc.

That said, yay 60 mil for DS with a crapload of potential left.

Somebody grab the 1k post through whatever. GJ Ruro.

Also, all shot type Hard 1cc in LLS, PoFV, UNL.

Previous Accomplishments:
Stuff

Current accomplishments:
Got to Flandre's Counter Clock spell card for the first time whereupon I decided to derpdeath on purpose just before capturing it. Captured some 5-6 spell cards along the way too. Promising considering my history of playing these games. Still, I am so effing horrible at Maze of Love it's hysterical. No wonder this is the first time I got past it.

oh, this fun stuff again

tHRtP: Normal 1cc, Jigoku
SoEW Lunatic 1cc, Extra Clear (Die in a fire)
PoDD: Hard 1cc (FFFFFFFF Yumemi)
LLS: Lunatic 1cc, Extra Clear
MS: Lunatic 1cc, Extra Clear
EoSD: Hard 1cc (LUNATIC COMING SOON GODDAMNIT), Extra Clear
PCB: Lunatic 1cc, Extra Clear, Phantasm Clear

IN: Hard 1cc (why do I not try this anymore?), Extra Clear
PoFV Lunatic 1cc (Cirno)
MoF: Lunatic 1cc, Extra Clear
SWR: Normal 1cc (if Reimu would ever use Hakurei Amulet instead of Ascension Kick, it'd be an easy Hard 1cc)
SA: Hard 1cc, Extra Clear
UFO: Normal 1cc, die in a fire, Extra Clear
12.3: Hard 1cc was easy, maybe I'll lunatic 1cc it

Shuuso Gyoku: Extra Clear...twice (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQGn4D-frPU)

you are not forgiven

By the next topic, I should have EoSD Lunatic, SWR Hard, 12.3 Lunatic, maybe a HRtP Hard 1cc, and VERY VERY MAYBE if I can get over my loathing for the game the UFO Hard 1cc.  Any more would be sweet, but I haven't been playing all that much Touhou recently anyway.

I still consider myself a mid-rank Hard player.  That's my average level of play.  All my Lunatic 1cc's were amazingly lucky runs.  The only one I feel accomplished about is the MS one; that was insane.

Have been meaning to put something CtC related up actually.
Got to see if I can pull off a "decent" 1cc or pull off some extra/phantasm shenanigans one of these days.

Man I was so close (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8533)

(assuming 1cc attempt here)
You might want to switch shottypes here. Seeing as ReimuA makes everything considerably harder here as her shot does jack-shit damage.
Good luck though, you almost have it!

List:

Lunatic 3cc

EOSD (Reimu B)
PCB (Reimu A)
IN (Border Team)

Noteworthy Cards Captured: (Stage 4 & Above)

EoSD:

Stage 4:
Water Sign "Bury In Lake"
Metal & Water Sign "Mercury Poison"
Earth & Metal Sign "Emerald Megalith"

Stage 5:
Conjuring "Illusional Misdirection"

Sakuya's cards are bullshit.
Stage 6:
Divine Punishment "Young Demon Lord" (Very easy card for Stage 6 Boss)
Hell Sign "Mountain of a Thousand Needles"

PCB:

Stage 4:
*I hate stage 4*

Stage 5:
*Nothing*

Stage 6:
Six Realms Sword "Ageless Obsession -Lunatic-"
Losing Hometown "Lost Soul's Village -Suicide-"   (This card is fun yo)

"Resurrection Butterfly -80% Reflowering-" 

STFU about my crappy playing skills. That last card is easy. I will do it again and upload the replay.

IN:

Stage 4:
Loving Heart "Double Spark"  (Fluke Alert)

Stage 5:
Lunatic Gaze "Illusion Seeker" 
Spread Sign "Invisible Full Moon" (I also did this like two months ago o_0)
Stage 6B:
Divine Treasure "Buddhist Diamond" (Easy Card)
Divine Treasure "Salamander Shield" 

Extra:
EVERYTHING AT LEAST ONCE BUT NOT IN ONE FULL RUN

Mokou is bullshit easy for an extra boss. The goal is to capture every card in once run this time.

=====================================

-FAILURES-

14cc UFO Lunatic just to get to stage 4. Shit...

and I still get my ass handed to me in Stage 4 NORMAL (Five deaths is my best run.)

Subterranean Animism Extra: Over 300 Tries and no wins against Koishi. I still can't capture Sanae's Bumper Crop Shower despite having a history of 0/223 on it.

=====================================

-OBSERVATION-

I finally got myself back into shape after not playing for two months. That said, I unlocked a bunch of stages to play with in Lunatic. I should just skip Hard completely.

Perfect Yuyuko fight. Pretty much anything in the battle is very easy except for her 2 last attacks. I do fail at the stage portion though because its BS. (As in, i don't care how much it is possible to do - its not very likely and i'll not be slaving myself at something so immaterial)

Divine Treasure "Buddhist Diamond" (Easy Card)

How is that  an easy card? Sure, it's not as hard as everyone says it is, but I wouldn't call the thing easy.

no matter what you say, Demon World is gay walling :V

The thing is gay walling, as you call it, on every difficulty except maybe Easy, because I don't know what the Easy version is like.


Oh, also made my first safespot on Descent of Izuna Gongen. I probably won't be able to duplicate it though like was the case with BoLaD which I still haven't managed it again. PCB Extra clear with all shottypes(though today has been a complete failfest.

Bah, you were using the cheat known as "irl" though. >:<

So this has more content: OMG last night I FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY captured Uncontainable Nuclear Reaction again! 8D In terms of captures I'm worse at this card than Scarlet Meister.

But, but then I decided to play EoSD stage 4, and died on the books (I was close enough to capturing them that I used the invincibility to mess up Koakuma's attack), meaning I faced Patchy at below max rank but not super low rank, and CAPTURED SYLPHAE HORN HIGH LEVEL.

Play time difference BV

I'm not a masochist. I'll leave Byakuren to those who enjoy her battle. I am bored to tears with her stage though and her boss battle requires a lot of practice to get good at. The problems start as she fires a spellcard that's incredibly hard to dodge. Then a non-spell that's incredibly hard to dodge. Then a memorization card that i often clip. After these attacks i'm all out of power and frustrated. You might expect a Perfect Shou run sometime though. If i can get past my RTG sucking.

Also, it might be pretty unfair to compare a "Veteran" like me to a youngster like yourself. I'm fairly sure my entire 2009 except for a few months with school pc's i was left with retarded PC's as my only source of playing Touhou. Keys would get stuck on the keyboard and lack being intense. I may have known the series for about 2 years soon but i only think 1 and 2 months of them have been as an active player.

How much playing time do you have? Was it 6 months?

It's always nice to be called "crazy good" by someone whose skills I worshipped back in a time when I struggled to 1cc Normals.  Really puts into perspective how far I've come.  As for bjw, yeah, he's retired, spending all of his time on schoolwork and anime these days.  He's played UFO and DS enough to unlock and play their respective Extras, but other than that, he'll only play once every few months, and usually only a single stage practice run at that.  Or this. (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=5218.msg270406#msg270406)  Any time he posts these days is usually attributed to me pointing out something strangely interesting on the forums (like Donut's Face-EoSD idea), as I doubt he lurks the site on his own.  Oddly enough, he does indeed continue to lurk #shrinemaiden, not entirely sure why.

SanaeA UFO Hard 1cc! That makes three shot types!

This run was really great actually, except for loldeath on Byakuren's second card and MASSIVE MASSIVE derpings on Ichirin. Even capped Parasol Star Memories, which is batshit with SanaeA. I went into Stage 4 with like 3~4 lives though, so I can't believe I 1cced.

And it ended with an LFS LFO capture <3 (Plus I finally learned Hard's St.Nikou's Air Scroll)

Broke the 1400 point item extend. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8557)

In all honesty, it should be easy enough to break 1500; I only just realized that dying so many times means that bosses will throw power items after spellcards instead of points. Exactly how many they give out and if it's possible to break even 1600... It'll take just a bit longer to achieve. In addition, the small amounts that I missed during the stages might even add up to 50(?), which is really quite a lot.

1492 ITEMS FFFFFFFF

0.9 speed was enough to keep me from dying more than a few times. I missed extraordinarily few items; I would guess I missed maybe 10-20 at most. 1500 is definitely attainable, but I'm done with this I think. I can say for certain that the 1600-point extend is definitely not obtainable.

Ignoring your main argument for a minute, I'm not sure insulting everyone else is the best way to phrase your point. You could just say that UFO really is doable for such-and-such reasons - "knock some sense" into everyone else, but effectively.

At the same time, it's the way the UFO system works that gives people so much trouble. It flies in the face of normal survival play. Then there's the bullet types used - for instance, I believe even you said the glowing bullets make the patterns harder to read (though how hard would differ from person to person, so that's a separate thing).

Normal survival play should never be considered "hug the bottom of the screen, get served lives on a silver platter". I completely welcome the more complex life system, and the fact you have to earn them. If people are having a hard time with it, then they're gonna need to lower their expectations or train harder, rather than expecting to be innately awesome.
Title: Re: Touhou ::smug:: Thread (VIII)
Post by: ふねん1 on May 02, 2010, 09:44:16 PM
When I say "normal survival play", that's a general term, not just what's expected for UFO. Ignoring how many lives a particular game gives, the bottom of the screen (the rough area, not just the bottom-most line) is usually designed to be a safer area than higher up (this depends on the attack, of course).

To stay on-topic: SA Stage 6 Lunatic, perfect until halfway through "Subterranean Sun", where I died. It's a new best, but obviously I want that perfect run at some point.

For the record, I don't think UFO is nearly as clippy as the pre-MoF games (because the old engine sucks) - I'd say slightly more than MoF/SA (which are barely clippy aside from a few specific attacks), but it's not even close to crippling.

And why that strike in your post? You know it's true. :V

They are, but rank doesn't mean much where they're concerned.  It's more about where they decide to spawn.  If they all bunch together into a tight spot, the bullets all go straight down and it's easy.  If they scatter all over the screen(which is what usually happens), then it turns into a crisscrossing web of death. :V

Very this. Some hitboxes are broken, yes, but it only takes a few hits by them to learn it.

I don't get why people say things like "clippy". Because of how collision detection is preformed in most Shmup games, they are heavily biased towards you living when you probably should've collided with a bullet. If you got hit and died, then you had to have been very definitively nailed. Especially in danmaku games like Touhou and Cave stuff, where shit is so small that you should be getting hit way more than you do anyways.

If you got "clipped", then you should've been paying more attention. Unless clip is just another term for "getting fucking nailed by a bullet", in which case, ignore my shit and carry on.

My clipdeaths in UFO are because I'm used to the usual hitboxes and that I don't play UFO often because it is a terrible game. I'd rather play Cave's stuff then UFO.


UFO also breaks the shmup rule that all attacks should be dodgeable assuming the player knows what to do. UFO, like EoSD, can randomly just wall you, and you can do nothing about it.

And the power system.

And so many boss attacks are complete luckshit. Kraken Strike(Ichirn in general), Parasol Star Memories, Shou nonspells, Greatest Treasure, Radiant Treasure Gun, not sure about Byakuren as I never fought her on Hard, but I expect even more.

The bullet types used are harder to read. I can be sure I read it something correctly, then I get clipped.

"My clipdeaths in Garegga and DDP are because I'm used to the usual hitboxes and that I don't play them often because they are terrible games. I'd rather play Touhou than those".
Just an example. Now just how wrong does that sound ? Every games plays differently and you have to dwi. Or stop playing.
Also just throwing that out there, I believe the hitboxes haven't changed one bit since MoF.

UFO also breaks the shmup rule that all attacks should be dodgeable assuming the player knows what to do. UFO, like EoSD, can randomly just wall you, and you can do nothing about it.
Walls are harder to dodge than regular patterns, but nowhere close to impossible (in fact nothing is impossible to begin with).

And the power system.

Greatest Treasure, Radiant Treasure Gun, not sure about Byakuren as I never fought her on Hard, but I expect even more.

Formless! That power system is crippled. End of story.

Walls are harder to dodge than regular patterns, but nowhere close to impossible (in fact nothing is impossible to begin with).

Unless its a complete wall. Still, its not a question of if something is possible or not. Its more of a question of plausibility. If a spell throws a lot of really fast bullets at you with only a very tiny gap to go through it is very likely that you won't stand a chance even if it is "possible".

It's not just him. Several of us have this problem. I've even said it before that UFO Hard is harder than every other game in the series on Lunatic. The fact that I have EoSD, PCB, IN, MoF, and SA Lunatic 1ccs but haven't even gotten close to UFO Hard. Of course, those other games don't randomly bullshit you as much.

How is that  an easy card? Sure, it's not as hard as everyone says it is, but I wouldn't call the thing easy.
Stage 6 Lunatic Timed-out this card.

And I can't do that for anything else, not even Salamander Shield.

It's got to be easy. ^_^

It won't be that hard. Max out your lives then focus on spell cards.

If that's all it takes for a card to be easy, then Lifespring Infinity and Hourai Jewel are easy even if I can't consistently time either one out. Salamander Shield I just suck at, and the method I use to capture it wouldn't be very smart for a timeout attempt. I've gotten Brilliant Dragon Bullet to under 10 seconds then derped.

I still find this strange. Sure, UFO Hard is harder than the rest of the series on hard, in some ways. (And it took way longer for me to get my 1cc than anything else on hard) But I 1cc'd it long before anything on lunatic (and still have only PCB and IN done), and it still feels easier than most of the games on lunatic (with a few exceptions). I sometimes wonder at the underlying cause of such disparate perceptions of difficulty different people seem to have. Frankly, I've never understood quite the level of dislike so many people seem to have for UFO.

I got slaugthered by Patchy in my lunatic 1cc of the game and entered stage 5 with 2 lives which was enough for me to pull home a clear. Just be awesome and you'll do fine. After all:

Here's what you said on Lunatic Red. If it is so easy then it should only take 1 shot and you should barely die at all. Get to work.

Quote
yeah, even on lunatic

the bullets are slow as hell, the stages are too easy and memorization heavy and the extreme amount of extends makes it even easier

why do people call it an extremely hard game
as a shmup, it fails to deliver any sort of challenge

the only hard things are badly programmed attacks which can be an unavoidable death, weird hitboxes and bad controls

Are you consistent on it? What do you know that i don't? GT that is? Also, if RTG is almost static then why aren't YOU consistent at it. I know i used to be but i have lost that ability sadly.
I can consistently survive three to four waves on GT and RTG during timeouts, which is more than enough for captures. I think the problem with RTG is that it looks too intimidating, despite being slow as heck.

How do you explain those WR superplays then ? It isn't like they got lucky and survived every single attacks in the game :3
Can't disagree about Lunatic being easier than many other shmups though, but IIRC ZUN intended this to be a music/patterns showcase in the first place instead of a proper shmup.

P.S. :V at Adauchi's response. Do you even need screenies for the most obvious things ?

Hmm? Wanting to see if it was possible to convert them into Touhou haters? Or did you actually expect them to sit down and discuss about the topic you suggested?

I think this is true for a lot of Touhou fans: I don't really care much for shmups in general. I'm only interested in Touhou. Its the only shmup that has this special indescripable feeling to it that makes it addicting and fun.

So whenever someone comes out of nowhere to tell us that our games are too easy and the only way you can die in them are because of poorly designed gameplay and bad controls, we get a bit annoyed. If that's your opinion, that's totally fine but i don't understand what kind of response you would expect when you go to a Touhou-dedicated fan forum and start with something like that.

What was the goal of that test?

It would be like if I went to a Final Fantasy board and told them that they should stop playing their mediocre RPG's and instead turn to Fallout 3 or Oblivion were your gaming skill has impact on the game unlike FF which is all about strategy, statistics and luck.

I'm there on my ideal shot types. Aka, not RumiaA or Marisa. Err, Reimu*. Forward focus makes a bunch of tough cards go faster, but the stages/some attacks get a good bit worse... it's not a big difference in difficulty no matter what I use, but I'm not consistently 1ccing with Forward Focusers yet.

But unfortunately, I've got MarisA/B to go so I can get the All Clear on UFO Hard. I'm not looking forward to MarisaB at all (despite loving her shot/bomb, THEY'RE BOTH TERRIBLE INGAME), but MarisA I'm having a surprising amount of bad luck with. 0 lives at Stage 4 what. Maaan, they're the only two I have to go before I move on to something else, and as cool as UFO is, it's fairly... you know.

I tried doing a no focus capture on Star Maelstrom but failed, tried a no vertical no focus capture  of Demon's Recitation but failed, captured Flying Fantastica(!), managed to deathbomb on Shou's final card after like 10 frames after being hit...

Entered Hard Mode Byakuren 1/5 and almost defeat her, but I arrived at the final 0/0 and lost when it was almost over. St. Nikou's Air Scroll is a lot different from the Normal one.

Would not have been a 1cc as I had continued on stage 5 due to massive derps earlier on, but still, this is still a sign that the 1cc may come soon if I stop fucking up Kogasa Ichirin, Murasa, and the stages.

Was using SanaeB who is much better than ReimuA.

No, it does not.

Perhaps I haven't lost my touch after all. Random SA stage 5 run, I capture Catwalk, and 1D1B Orin. The bomb was on Ghost Wheels, and after I bombed I realized I would have survived without it, and the death was due to not having enough power to kill Small Demon's Revival thanks to the power lost from said bomb. :V I could have PERFECTED her had I not bombed.

This should belong in the rage thread, but after all my near-impressive feats today, I'll take this as a victory for morale.

UFO Stage 3 Hard update.

21k+ Graze, 3 Deaths so far with a solid UFO route taken (I'm well aware that there is one UFO going into the Stage; I've taken that into account). I've worked out how to graze the second Non-Spell properly now (it was a bit more complex than I initially thought, as timing played a crucial role here), as well as taken some very useful tips with regard to safespotting the first. Said tips are great for a player like me who can't microtap with >99% consistency (boasting a ~70% here at the moment).
Well, it's known that even yukarin can't safespot without making the occasional derp too so  :V
I've even perfected moving into Unzan's eye without dying, which came much faster than I anticipated.

Stage 5 will be a bit more difficult to relearn; if I want that 240 Graze at the start, I have to master the timing. Everything else is fine fortunately. I should probably go relearn Stage 4 at some point; my route apparently doesn't allow for certain enemies to be destroyed thus lowering my potential max considerably. Should probably start using safespot faggotry on Stage 2 as well, as much as I don't like doing it.

Finally 1cc'd my first Touhou Hard (IN FinalA). The only reason I managed to do it is because I had a superb stage 4 run (I usually derp a lot in Marisa's spellcards, I especially hate the first one--IMHO it's probably the hardest spellcard of the game, I find Astronomical Entombing way easier even though it has similar levels of randomness. Reisen is usually no problem since I spent a lot of time practicing her spells). I even ended up 2/1!

Now onto FinalB and Lunatic.

So I tried the PC-98 gaems.

Emulator didn't sync properly, so I changed some settings, and I quickly 1cc'd LLS on Normal

2 Bombs remaining, 3 Lives remaining.

==============================

How do I feel about Touhou PC-98? I feel like one hand is tied behind my back. They feel like very easy games, but I can't do the stuff I do in the newer Touhous. I can't deathbomb, I don't see my hitbox, character moves too slow, FPS isn't 60, I can't micrododge, I can't graze, and I can't PoC.

Extends are random.

However, I really like these games. Very fun, and the music is just beautiful. I can more or less read dialogue.

What game does Yumeko come in?

You can deathbomb in these games. It's actually a MORE forgiving timer, if I remember right.

Well, you can't see your hitbox in EoSD either.

Your character moving slow might be coming from using numpad, which for some reason interferes with using Focus. It does with me, at least. Try not using the numpad for movement, or turning NumLock on. You KNOW something is wrong when if you hold a direction, and tap shift once, you suddenly start moving three times faster.

Extends are score-based in all the games except Mystic Square (which has number-of-point-item extends and Yumeko)

And LLS is ridiculously easy, yeah. LLS Lunatic is easier then some games on Hard.

I love this stage, although I can't beat it yet. Actually, I would have won if I hadn't lost four lives to Genetics. I managed to trivialize Rorschach and Superego is literally Release of the ID backwards. However, it took me a while to realize what that means. *hurrrrrr~

All that hard work is starting to pay off. And with good reason too, I have over 600 attempts at SA Extra. Also, I capture some goodies. But my history for Bumper Crop Rice Shower is still 1/423

Just as a marker to show where I am on it, VoWG Lunatic 4DNB time-out (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8698).

One of the better stabs at it that I've had, but It's kind of a lucky-dodge-filled run. I think every time I managed to fit through the amulet walls (the ones that spread a little), I didn't plan it. Then there were a few instances early on where I went straight through the denser walls by mistake (!), thanks to Reimu's tiny hitbox no doubt. My first death occurred with 46 seconds left on the clock, and everything went downhill from there.

I'll still take it though. I can say that I'm not that comfortable trying to squeeze through the amulet walls - I prefer to go around them (even if these spaces are just as small, for some reason I can read them better). Now with the end of school approaching, maybe I'll have more time to try dying less on this. :V

It's subjective, of course. But in general I think people agree that LLS is pretty easy compared to the others. I beat LLS Lunatic before 1ccing most of the games on Hard; and I think Donut said that Baity 1LCed it, which is insane.

I think i'm the only one who thinks Utsuho gets progressively harder. Most people say that she starts her battle of with her toughest, Uncontainable Nuclear Fusion and Peta Flare. I think those attacks are easier than Hells Tokamak and Subterranean Sun.

Hells Tokamak: I find it much harder to read bullets coming from multiple directions than dodging bullets all coming from above you (like UNF and Peta Flare)

Subterranean Sun:

I would like to use the word clipping here but Naut wouldn't approve. Instead i'll just say that its easily misreadable because of how tiny the gaps are. Couldn't that legitimately be called clipping? I mean, its not fair to expect someone to perfectly reading so small bullets that can hide underneath each other when your own hitbox is smaller than the hitbox image.

(http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/520/58957619.jpg)
7/22 on Subterranean Sun.
Should be around the fifties though as I rarely play at home.

Hell's Tokamak's rate is lower than it should be as it took a while getting used to, but now I consider failing it similar to failing Magic Butterfly. And I don't remember letting that happen since ... that Hard 1cc. UNR on the other hand is just too clippy (my definition for "clipdeath" is "I rammed into a bullet because I messed up the input").
SS has an approx. 75% success rate. I still occasionally position myself at the wrong spot.
Title: Re: Touhou ::smug:: Thread (VIII)
Post by: Zengeku on May 17, 2010, 05:09:27 PM
You have played that game far less than UFO you maggot!  :D (no offence obviously)

As i said. I am probably the only one who thinks Utsuho final two cards are harder than her first two.

My capture rates are:

UNR: 23/76
Peta Flare: 23/60
Ten Evil Stars: 48/52
Hells Tokamak: 12/51
Subterranean Sun: 13/42

Here it is probably worth mentioning that i have attempted, and succeeded at, timing out UNR and Peta Flare so the caprate isn't accurate there. I can kind of understand that you often die to UNR because of failed inputs. Trust me, that happens to me too but i find it easier to do than SS and Hells Tokamak because the spell is all about dodging bullets coming from above you which means i will only have to concentrate on whats above me unlike Hells Tokamak where bullets are coming from multiple directions. The fact that it is glowing bullets doesn't help either. I'm pretty bad at those.

SS kills me quite often because i often misread a tiny gap in the pellets. My new strategy of going around the pellets instead of through them has helped out though.

PS: I have played this game for 112 hours which. Then again, i have had this game ever since it came out back in 2k8. I couldn't even beat its normal mode back then. Its also my most played Touhou game and probably my favorite.

PPS: We can't all have different definitions of what a clip-death means. If we are to use a term, there should be a clear definition of what that term means so we don't go around using it to cover up deaths that were because of failed inputs, because of misreading hitboxes or because of not seeing the bullet etc.

Maybe we should create a thread about touhou-player terminology. That would also be very good to help newbies understand what is talked about. I personally had no clue what derp was supposed to mean until recently.

PPPS: Why do i always write a minor novel every time i post something?

Here's a demonstration replay of Marisa.

http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8775

I do some stuff on the stage I would never try on Lunatic.

Both midboss nonspells and the final boss nonspell are static, so memorize them. You can use what I did there or try to find another way. I do cut it close at some spots.

Asteroid Belt I suck at even on Hard, so that wasn't a surprise.

First boss nonspell is read and dodge, I screwed it up though, which is rare for me outside of Lunatic.

Screwed up Double Spark, but it's just read and dodge on the stars and avoiding the aimed lasers.

There's a trick on her second midboss spell I use. You can no vert it from a little above the bottom.

I safespotted her first boss spell since this is supposed to be help toward beating her. It's not that bad without the safespot, on Hard.

Last boss spell before the final can be streamed. Start from farther up and stay off the bottom, and watch for lasers.

Played for a year, and still haven't 1cc'd any game on hard. :blush: I play default lives, but still, Marisa is a bitch to me whenever I try IN. Haven't even 1cc'd SA or UFO. Probably all I've done of note is a NDNB of Stage 4 SA Normal and a ND1B Stage 4 MoF Normal, and a 5/6 record on "Mountain Of Faith". Jaimers, what did you do different from me? We've probably been playing the same amount of time.

Guess I've just got to take it easy if I ever want to be that good. Take breaks, that sort of thing :/

There are just some people who get good faster than others. Don't let it get to you. Remember: Its not a question of getting good. Its a question of being entertained. You can just enjoy your normal mode until it starts getting boring. Then move on to Hard mode and remain there until it gets too easy. After that you can go nuts with Lunatic mode.

Ok, I just beat Nue...

I just hate that Extra Stage. Nue may be easy, but I always fail while chaining UFOs...
So I have beaten all the Extra Bosses from the Windows Touhou (except TH9, but I don't want to play this again)

Now on to the PC-98 games, and they seem way harder than the modern Touhou games. LLS Extra is just crazy...

Also, I've done Pacifist Flandre three days ago :
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8768
It took me only 3 serious tries to succeed. I'm really happy with it.

I should try No-focus Flandre, or No-vertical (this will not be easy...)

I've been playing Touhou since last January, I think I'm doing these achievements pretty fast.

What Formeless God said, with Sanae.  What better accomplishment is there to add to your list than to perfect Stage 5 with Sanae after perfecting Sanae?

Krimmydoodle Inc. is not responsible for rage-induced aneurysms caused by grinding difficult stages with inferior shottypes.



Seriously though, nice job.  And for what it's worth, Stage 5 featured my worst performance out of any stage during my No Bomb 1cc (3 deaths on Stage 5, compared to 2 deaths each to Stages 3 and 4, and 1 death each on Stages 2 and 6).

Haven't tested it out but wouldn't UFO Stage 5's stage portion not be considerably easier with Sanae? Unless we are talking SanaeA of course. Shou however... hope you are good at reading that 2nd non-spell cause there'll be no more quickly finishing it and getting lucky at wave 3.

1cc it, then jump straight to Lunatic (anything but IN Lunatic). It helps you improve faster.

IN Lunatic is perhabs the best approach. Its not terribly hard compared to EoSD, SA and UFO Lunatics and its quite fun unless you are formless. (Like how UFO is fun unless you are me.)

1DNB Yuugi Lunatic Pacifist. I need to work out how to consistently pacify her laser non-spell. Her 3rd non-spell is as far as i understand just a question of not moving to rapidly and reading well.

Easier stage portion, yes.  However. 90% of the stage is trivial once learned, so, by trading off Reimu A for Sanae B, you get one section made easy (glowy red bullshit fairy spam) in exchange for longer capture times for Greatest Treasure, Radiant Treasure Gun, Noncard 2, and, well, everything else (just because everything else isn't as hard as what I named doesn't mean they aren't a threat).  Plus you get a bigger hitbox.  It's a big price to pay for a spreadshot with limited usefulness.



Anyway, nice job with the Marisa run.  Still haven't done it myself (my best run got me killed at Shoot the fucking Moon of all places, and that was probably about two months ago).

But Kaguya is easy to no death in Stage Practice. I just haven't yet because I try to capture everything, so my bombs get wasted on Last Spells instead.

And 1 death can be expected on a 1cc on a good run.

http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8770

I even No Death Kaguya's fight in that replay. And I didn't have bombs for any of it starting with Buddhist Diamond. I would seriously go for a perfect on the stage if it weren't for Eirin's opener, Brilliant Dragon Bullet, Kaguya's second nonspell, Buddhist Diamond, and Rising World.

Oh, and the screw ups on Brilliant Dragon Bullet, Second nonspell, and all 5 Last Spells in that replay were 100% avoidable.

Oh, and if you don't like Kaguya, pick Eirin, but I find her worse.

Post by: Zengeku on May 19, 2010, 03:12:10 PM
In my best 1cc of IN i died two times to Kaguya. I don't think there is anything that is bullshit about her though. Maybe Brilliant Dragon Bullet because of how the bullet patterns sometimes acts completely outrageous.

In UFO there is only a very small amount of cards that doesn't take a trick or a lot of practice to get good at. And i could actually say the same as you did in your post but with UFO instead of IN. Half the time my runs are going very well (1DNB and stuff like that) and other times i get completely butchered. Usually because of how less power causes me to die more.

I really can't think of anything that truly is BS about IN outside of maybe Buddhist Diamond.

Brilliant Dragon Bullet occasionally does have a bad bullet pattern, but my screw ups are always running into a laser while trying to dodge something.


And really, a game that is 100% skill is great for someone like me who has terrible luck, which comes into play way more than it should in UFO and EoSD.

Edit: only talking about the maingame there. Rings of Death counts as BS too. Oh, and Eirin's fight in general, but most people will only 1cc that path once if at all.
Title: Re: Touhou ::smug:: Thread (VIII)
Post by: Formless God on May 19, 2010, 03:43:16 PM
I still have a feeling a large part of the fight is luck-based though.
- BDB probably has a trick to it. Predict where the bullets are going to land, pick a safe position, and sit there.
- BD is about picking the correct gap between the lasers, then dodge the blue arrowhead beams, and red spinning stars trying to ninja you from behind said beams, all while trying to make out what the fuck's going on beneath those popping time points.
- Salamander Shield is okay, but I'm still inconsistent at it.
- I can consistently get LSI down to 20 seconds and clip the laser.
- Hourai Jewel is retarded.

Eirin's attacks overall are more skill-based tbh, but the hitboxes are also more :V
this wordfilter is getting on my nerves

Power is not an issue in UFO, considering one can capture each and every attacks at 1.00 Power (except for PSM). Brofist and Vajra ends when the clock starts to tick, Magic Butterfly has a static pattern you can use, and most of my DR captures are done at 1.00.
Title: Re: Touhou ::smug:: Thread (VIII)
Post by: Chaotic Phoenixma on May 19, 2010, 03:48:29 PM
How is Kaguya's not more skill based?

You have read and dodge, read and dodge, read and dodge, read and dodge, read and dodge, streaming/micromem, read and dodge, read and dodge, micromem

Then the last spells

memorize, read and dodge, memorize/read and dodge, memorize/read and dodge, read and dodge

And despite what some people would say, memorization is still a skill.


And Hourai Jewel is not retarded. I have a 4/28 on it on the stage from 1cc runs and stage practices. Oh, and all 4 of those were consecutive captures, 2 during 1ccs and 2 during practice. Make that 5/29.


Eirin is

Read and dodge, BS spellcard unless you're Netherworld Team(midboss)

Read and dodge, read and dodge, joke nonspell, read and dodge, joke nonspell(compared to Kaguya's), micromem, read and dodge, micromem, destroy familiars, spell that is easy until a BS end phase.

Whatever. I still find it incredibly frustrating to get hit. See enemy health gauge almost empty. See your own power at 1xx. Just knowing that it would have been a capture had it not been for the power system is frustration incarnate.

Back when the game came out i had to grind the stages repeatedly to have enough power when i reached the boss so i would have a chance of getting those captures i was after. Frustrating experience. I don't like games that treat me like dirt. I don't like when a game that not only takes a life away from you when you die but also your power so you can die more.

I can come up with a worse scenario in SA. Imagine going into Catwalk/Zombie Fairy at 0.00 or 1.00 Power. You are likely to derp very quickly, and when you come back, you have to face another difficult wave that pretty much requires you to toss one of the bombs you've just gained. That's one life, one life fragment and one bomb.
And still, everything can be solved with enough skills (I've lost count of how many times I repeated this). In skill-based games like these, it's the player who sucks, not the games.

Post by: Chaotic Phoenixma on May 19, 2010, 04:47:15 PM
I really don't see much wrong.

Stage opener can be streamed with ease.

Opener is quick reading and accurate quick movements to dodge occasionally.

Brilliant Dragon Bullet's lasers are aimed based on your positioning in the same pattern. Above the bottom of the screen would take some practice. At the bottom of the screen, the lasers will be aimed away from you, unlike Easy/Normal where they are aimed at you. Then it really is a matter of not moving into a laser while dodging the bullets. Having to move for the lasers on Normal means you have more to worry about lasers and bullets than on Hard or Lunatic.

Second nonspell. Maybe I'm doing this misdirecting thing wrong. I'll have to mess around with it more, but it looks a little more dangerous that way. So I can't comment here.


Buddhist Diamond is one that I need tips on as well. Unless you're going for score where a Last Spell is detrimental, panic bombing isn't that great when you only have 1 bomb in stock, unless you're playing a team with crappy deathbomb time. It looked like you were safe when you bombed.

Salamander Shield- Try to learn how to do it with vertical movement. It'll make your life a lot easier for the most part, though I still need a little practice for consistency. Or stream slowly so that you don't have to turn around. Either way works.

I don't want to come off as an elitist asshole, but if this is the case then you should probably be playing on a lower difficulty. Frustration makes anybody play inordinately worse, so it's worth your time to take a break or practice on a lower difficulty until you get the gist of the card, then move up to a higher difficulty and let your dodging skill carry you through to a capture, since you know how to approach the card now.

Not really that safe. Out of 60 of my attempts I've only succeeded in 10, and the rest were due to stars coming out of nowhere (from behind the blue arrowheads and my own time points).

Horizontal method for this and Hourai Jewel. I will probably have to dig up KamiG's replay again.

I yelled that exact same line every ten seconds (three in boss fights) in PS2!Mushihime. But that doesn't mean the game is bad at all. As I've said, just admit that you suck. Blaming it all on the games makes you sound pathetic.

X is bullshit

I'm basically just re-iterating what Naut said here, but this has been annoying me for a while. Only a truly bad shmup has attacks that are 'bullshit'. Some attacks have varying difficulty dependent on how lucky you get, and some attacks are just plain harder than other attacks, but that doesn't make them bullshit in the slightest. Practice them until you get better at them, watch videos, read strategies on how to clear them. Someone being unable to clear an attack well does not make it unfair. :V The only things I might consider to be 'bullshit' in Touhou are a few attacks in SoEW, but that's because:

1. Suicide bullets that shoot suicide bullets. :derp:
2. Some bullets with hitboxes bigger than their sprites.

It's more a case of silly things you need to learn about than impossible attacks, though.

As for IN... I actually found it one of the hardest 1ccs, although that might be because I kept deathbombing and didn't have 6B unlocked for practice. :3 For Brilliant Dragon Bullet, I find it's easier to move to the side of the lasers that would have gone around you had you stayed in one place for a little more dodging room.

UFO shot analysis (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=181.msg286450#msg286450). Notice how 1.00 power is on average at least 80% of the power of 4.00. Admittedly the options are a fair bit weaker, but it's waaaaaay less of a difference than most people make it out to be.

Jaimers, what did you do different from me? We've probably been playing the same amount of time.
Oh I was a very stubborn SOB back in the day.
Still am.
I would always play way above my current level of skill.
When I got annoyed by my inability to dodge I would go play PoFV to build up some raw dodging skills.
I also beat StB very early on in my "Touhou career". This game teaches you quite a couple of things that are quite usefull: like how to figure out patterns, micro- tapping duo to Aya's speed etc.

But yeah, everybody gets better at their own pace. It's not about who does X fastest, it's about having fun.

It's been a while since I've had such a bombspam run outside of UFO.  Also, taking on Catwalk is extra lulzy with ReimuB; it really doesn't seem to matter whether you take it on with 4 Power or 0 Power, because Suika's homing marshmallows tend to cheeto laser slingshot around Orin's constant motion.

Okay, I don't know if this goes here or in the bitching thread:

Capture & Time Out (Unnatural Phenomenon) on Lunatic...

o_0 And I usually suck at this card on Normal. Having a 3/42 history (normal, 3/12 on Lunatic) on it, I didn't know whether to bitch at my inconsistency or praise myself because of simply doing something I haven't done before.

Almost capture Mt. Ooe on Lunatic. Another card that I monumentally suck at Normal. Also, Yuugi's last card is luckshit. For me, it depends on positioning and it you get rammed by the first wave of moving bullets.

History: 7/10 (Lunatic) I shouldn't be complaining. =[

SA Extra:

So I die two times: One really stupid death at the start... and another really stupid death on something... some non-spell, I don't know.
And then I capture Rorschach and survive Genetics (Haven't done this before). I cut the number of  bombs used in Philosophy of a Hated person.

I decided to suicide the last spell because I didn't want my first clear of SA Extra to be one where I had two incredibly stupid deaths. That said, I could have cleared it, but I plan to end the stage clean. "Deaths are there because they were necessary, etc."

And, it's two in the morning. How the fuck am I doing this?

And also made it up to MoF Stage 6 Lunatic with Reimu A. (With continues, mind you, I'm not a good player.) Died on VoWG. (Kanako is much easier than what I imagined on Lunatic for some reason) What the hell am I doing I haven't even 1cc'd the game in Hard yet.

==============================================================

UFO Stage 6 Practice: (Normal)

Died to the starting fairies. -retry
Died four times to FF. -retry (About the number of times I die to VoWG Lunatic. =[
Died on St. Nikou's Air Scroll -retry | alt + f4



==============================================================


PCB Stage 3 (Normal)


Die to Alice.-


Capture all Prismriver cards. (wtf)


wtf I'm going to bed, something's wrong with me... I'm pretty sure I'm not doing these things again for a while.

What do you mean the bomb system is broken?  :V

I've thought about doing this myself, but I didn't like the idea of restarting runs because I got overconfident about something and refused to bomb (which, since MoF is one of my stronger games, is going to happen a lot).  I'm happy with having gone through with no bombs over no deaths anyway.
Title: Re: Touhou ::smug:: Thread (VIII)
Post by: Chaotic Phoenixma on May 22, 2010, 12:04:29 AM
You're allowed way more mistakes in a no death run anyway due to how many bombs there are.

I'm not sure about the amount of lives/bombs available in each game to know for sure whether no death or no bomb is harder on which game.

I know there's enough bombs in IN that No bombs would be harder than no deaths. Same goes for MoF and SA.

Would no death or no bomb be harder on EoSD and PCB? And also the PC98

I would never succeed on a 1LC or No Bomb clear. I make way too many mistakes even on Normal mode at times.

I got to Hourai Jewel earlier with Youmu solo, but I won't be able to 1cc with her for a while as I suck at the shottype and I basically luckgarbaged a lot of stuff. Same with Yuyuko solo, but I could probably 1cc with her on a good run.

Solo Youkai is actually pretty fun.

Magic Team Lunatic 1cc

That leaves Netherworld Team and Scarlet Team as well as the solos that I think I can do, which won't be all of them. Netherworld team will be easy enough, and if I can get it a 1cc with Magic Team, I should be able to do it with the Scarlets as well. Sure I used Malice Cannon at quite a bit of places, but that shouldn't end up making it impossible for the Scarlets.

Yeah, there's a LOT of room for error on a 1LC of MoF. I bombed like 25 fucking times it's completely ridiculous.
SA is pretty doable and UFO is totally doable if you go for green UFO's.
You get a lot of bomb drops in IN as well, but you have to really be carefull that you don't deathbomb as that will deplete them very fast and LLS gives you bombs like crazy.
The other games sans SoEW seem to drop less bombs than they give lives, so I reckon no bombs is easier, plus you don't have to worry about dying as much.

I wouldn't even want to think of SoEW No Death. No bombs would be hard enough. No Death's difficulty depends on how many random bomb drops you get, but Marisa and Mima would still ruin your day if you got that far probably. And the chances of getting bomb drops is very low.

3LC while half-asleep? Yeah. And it was 2-3 months IIRC. First death came on "VoPB" (of all Cards!), and I got so pissed that my performance just dropped a notch or two. I never even reached 8 Bombs as well.

It may not be the most difficult, but it is the most bullshitty.  :derp:
Psh, once you learn the hitboxes of those evil looking things, it's easy. That said, perfecting the last attack takes ages if you go all defensive on it.

I'm slowly but steadily coming back. I don't know why, but I even though I still play Touhou regularly, I feel totally out of it.

Now I can start working on solos. I've gotten to Hourai Jewel on Youmu and Yuyuko solos, and although I doubt I'll get that close with Youmu again anytime soon, those 2 make the most sense to try next. Yukari solo has been done. Not sure what other ones I'll have a chance at, probably not many.

SA Lunatic Stage 5 with zero bombs/deaths. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8830) Please excuse my French, but holy fucking shit. Two warps at part II of the post-midboss streaming because I'm still clueless at that bit (save for the first few seconds). Hardest bit of this was ERRATIC STEP with ERRATIC STEP in 2nd and part I of the post-ERRATIC STEP spam in 3rd. Endstage Orin is mildly overrated as far as difficulty goes IMO. Nearly killed myself right at the start with rage-induced no focus shenanigans.

I'm hoping to do zero bomb/death runs for SA stages 1-6 eventually like I did for MoF, but I figured there wasn't any point working on the other stages if I couldn't do the hardest one so I started with it. I'll attempt the others some other time, but right now I don't want to see, hear, touch, taste or smell any more cats danmaku.

So new but not pressing plans are to finish with only a border break against the stage six spam and maybe Lunasa's second noncard.  If choosing to activate the border immediately or shortly after the nonspell begins you can break through the purple waves during the invulnerability phase, but it wouldn't be impressive at all.  Other changes to be made include ignoring Youmu's opener loophole and possibly grazewhoring various spells.

Minor complaint about screwing up before Lily White and losing point items.  Didn't destroy three of the four red shotgun fairies in stage four.  Poor form in stage two by letting items slip.  Poor positioning for the last second-last wave of Components of Konpaku.  Two unacceptable dodges for 80% Reflowering.  No point complaining any further.

Sorry, poor wording.  I meant the dodging at the start of 80% Reflowering up to the border activation was poor.

This didn't warrant such a post but saying "this game is too easy" sounds really conceited so I'll back up my opinion.  Which was supposed to go into the debate thread but I didn't want to bother creating the list of micromemorizable and fixed patterns.  They'll eventually come up for Safespots/Strategies.

Okay, this applies to all the games but a lot of the harder attacks dance around before coming down on you.  Anytime the bullets are cancelled out will result in a too large grace period during which you're free to blast away at the boss.  Large Pentagram Crest, Benevolent Orl?ans Dolls, Hell God Sword, and that's not getting into the easier attacks.

It's not uncommon to see people comparing the Hard difficulty of the later games to Lunatic difficulty with a game like this.  I think their viewpoints aren't unfounded, but I'm equally biased.

This post didn't turn out like I wanted it to.  Sorry.

Had a Lunatic Byakuren run where I captured her first three spells and Superhuman as well.

No replay because LFS was a disaster. As soon as the red phase happens I just lose my cool and ram something. Knowing the hitboxes are microscopic doesn't make me feel any better.

Made it to Buddhist Diamond my first try on Lunatic with Reimu solo.

I would need to practice a lot on Stage 3 and 4 to stand a chance though. But this might not be as bad as I thought.  It seems the only solos I will not be able to eventually 1cc on Lunatic will be Sakuya and Alice. I've made it to Kaguya on all of them except those 2 and Marisa, and I'm sure Marisa will be doable for me eventually.

But Hard mode's turn around times are very lenient. Took a while for me, but that was because I was originally trying to 1cc Lunatic with Netherworld team, so I was trying to practice with them. Came much quicker when trying Border Team.

I'm somewhat consistent now if using border team. I captured it 5 consecutive times in stage, then when I did my Yukari solo 1cc, I captured it there too. I still fail it everytime with anyone else that's not border team, Reimu included due to her being weak.

SA Lunatic Stage 4 with zero bombs/deaths! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8847) Thank Kanako it's all downhill after stage 5. Satori's first two recollection cards can be nasty, but otherwise this is pretty straightforward once the stage is learnt.

Edit: Oh hey stage 3. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8851) The post-midboss lasers were annoying. Tried stage 6 a bit but I need sleep first.

Just got another Lunatic Hourai Jewel capture, in yet another 1cc. Remilia solo this time.

Only Youmu, Yuyuko, and maybe Reimu left because I'm not enough of a masochist to try Alice or Sakuya, even with 7 lives. A score.dat with Lunatic FinalB unlocked for everyone would be nice, but there's no way I'll be able to do it.

So much failure and win today.

Subterranean Animism:

Normal: No Deaths 1cc Marisa A, B, C, Reimu A, B, C,
Hard: Perfect Stage 1, Stage 2 / No Deaths: Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3, Stage 4

Hard: Stage 1 end with 1500 graze and 3.75 power. It's very high, and although it's stage 1, a good start means for an interesting replay. It's about flashy playing and not just dodging the bullets.

Lunatic: Perfect Stage 1, Stage 2. Consistency capture all of Yuugi's cards except....
No Deaths: Stage 1, Stage 2, 1D Stage 3

Extra: Reach Sanae with 1000 graze. Capture 2/3 Sanae's cards at least 100 times. Become consistent at Superego, Rorschach, Release of the ID, Ancestors, Paranoia, Polygraph, Embers of Love.

=============================

PCB Extra: Hit the 800 point extend. Clear with Sakuya A
IN Extra: [Scratch it, I died twice WTF] AT least I'm now consistent...
Phantasm: Derped at least 100 times.

===========================

Now for failures:

Die at least 20 times to Kisume's spell card.
Never capture Mt. Ooe
Always clip Stage 4's opener (Hard/Lunatic)

Safepot BoWaP
Bomb all of midboss Orin (Hard/Lunatic)

================================

Current Goal: 1cc SA Hard / Extra Clear w/ Reimu A

Yeeesssssss (http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/9053/lunatic1cc.png), MoF Lunatic 1cc! Stupid VoWG left me with 0 extra lives and 0.20 power, but I WON YAY.

Sanae's midboss card is so cluttered, I always worry I'll clip but I almost never do. *sweatdrop* I captured that, everything in S1, Aya/Kanako's first card, and... everything else I was bombing to feel safe or because I can't do them often enough.

Well, that leaves PC-98 Lunatics (other then LLS which was my first Lunatic 1cc <3), EoSD(Been insanely close for months), SA(...maybe), and UFO(Hell no)! Erm, and IaMP, which may or may not ever happen. I cleared all of those things on Hard, at least, except HRtP, which I like playing but can't 1cc. Reached Sariel with no continues, at least...

yes

YES!
YESSSSS! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8870)[UFO Normal No-Focus 1cc! This is great. Except FF, that was a mess of epic proportions.

Character Overview:

Reimu A:
Pros:
Can hit boss with all but two needle streams, IE she still gets a lot of her DPS.
Most damaging bomb in the game.
Reimubox.
Cons:
Both her shot and bomb are terrible for stages.

Overall: Good if you have little stage trouble.

Reimu B:
Pros:
Homing means she's always getting all her dps (unless caveat below).
Bomb is versatile.
Reimubox.
Cons:
Getting too close to the edges can throw off her homing.
Weakest shots.
Parasol Star Symphony hurrr  :V
Overall: Good overall.

Marisa A:
Pros:
Piercing, which actually does things in this game.
Good DPS.
Bomb is great and multi-purpose.
Cons:
Can be bad for some stage portions.
3.00 can be stronger than 4.00 because it's easier to land 3 beams on a boss.
Overall: Great. 

Marisa B:
Yeah, good luck with that...

Sanae A:
Can't give any advice here since I didn't try her for the no-focus.

Sanae B: The one I cleared it with
Pros:
Shot destroys all the stages.
Bomb is excellent when paired with shotgun.
Cons:
Spread shot is hard to land on bosses when far away.
Overall: Excellent, if you're ok with taking your time to kill bosses.

Huge, huge congrats, man. That was very interesting to watch... I noticed you stuck almost entirely to macrododging the waves rather than going between the amulets as I'd been doing, which looks a lot more sensible. :V How long have you been practicing this?

pfft

I have a lot of experience with this card and i have had many 1-death timeouts before this. Timeouts that were ruined by silly mistakes. Not walls. In fact, i rarely ever run into walls in VoWG. The more experience you have with the card, the easier it is to predict what its gonna do so you can avoid walls.

Now quit being a douchebag eh? I'm proud of this. Even if it was VoWG that showed mercy i wouldn't really care about it. I don't really feel like adding an additional "No Luck" tag to a timeout. A timeout is a timeout.

Dude, congrats! I want to say you're the fifth now (unless I missed someone since Jaimers and Krim did it).

Alright. It's nothing compared to a VoWG timeout, but I just made two consecutive VoWG captures. 3/15 history now.
Of course, I'm cheesing through it with Marisa C.
Ha ha. Even if Marisa C has a 'fat' hitbox and uses gimmicks, there's no denying that it makes VoWG twenty seconds shorter. And stages are trivialized.
and all of the world records for MoF are with Marisa C, on Easy-Lunatic, and Extra.

That being said, Lunatic is brutal. Hina, and Nitori, and... nothing like IN on Lunatic...

Of course, when you think about it, the current world records for UFO Easy/Normal are with MarisaB...

But yeah, MariC has the most potential out of all the MoF shot types, when used effectively. She's gimmicky, but in a strong way.

Post by: Chaotic Phoenixma on May 28, 2010, 03:21:44 AM
I'm not very good with her though. My 1cc with her was all kinds of terrible. I did No Death Extra with her, and it looks like she's my best chance at a No Bombs clear of Extra if I get back to trying that. Never will try NB on Lunatic as I suck at Stage 4 and Aya, as well as Kanako.

MoF Lunatic is very doable with bombspam. Not talking about bomb everything, but bomb the dangerous stuff and capture the easy stuff. It's kind of tough to get to VoWG with enough lives though.

And yeah, IN Lunatic is very doable. Just not in No Bomb terms. I still wouldn't try that there, and it's my strongest game in the series.

Ha ha. As long as I would have two extra lives entering Source of Rains, I'll have the resources to enter VoWG with one~ extra life and all four frostthrowers directly underneath Kanako.

Which... Having all four options below Kanako is the equivalent of pointblank shotgunning with Reimu C. Perhaps more. Only you can be at any range you want.

Post by: LHCling on May 28, 2010, 03:48:37 AM
Almost a year, but there's been some very recent discoveries which improve over the existing route by a somewhat large margin. For instance, Ichirin's 2nd Non-Spell and how you're supposed to go grazing it; a difference of potentially ~50 Graze per iteration is not minor at all. Here (http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/nippon0banzai/MYBLOG/yblog.html)'s a blog of a player that I've been following for a while. Note the date of the latest entry.

Oh, and couldn't they get more score by timing out + grazewhoring every noncard that doesn't belong to a midboss?
They're already doing this for most Non-Spells. Most.

But not Shou's second nonspell. Sure, there's not much potential for too much grazing at all, but there's two massive blue UFOs to blow up in stage 6, so...
And there's Byakuren's last noncard, but there's like .1% as much point items after that point.

Defeating Shikieki with Sakuya seems to be very possible, by the way. Extremely painful and probably very time-consuming, but certainly possible.

Syou's 2nd Non-Spell is being actively grazed in Easy / Normal. With Marisa, I believe you can also graze the lasers as they're arching out for potentially an extra 100 Graze or so per iteration. Obviously, as it speeds up it becomes harder / impractical to do so.

I'm also going to add that for every 10 Graze you get, you get an additional 1k added to your score (as part of the Clear Bonus). There are also a rather large number of Point Items that follow, so that bit adds as well. You can also actively graze "Devil's Recitation" for a few hundred more before it becomes impractical as you start to sacrifice Spell Card Bonus for extra Graze.

In the words of a scorerunner, "Every bit counts!"
And I take that very seriously, see me desperately trying to grab that extra 1k just to put myself above the other person.

I appear to be :derp: ing it up today; I blame the lack of sleep. It's from the Clear Bonus, where your Point Item Value gets multiplied by 100 (and then added to your Total Score). 10 Graze adds a +10 to the Item Value. I made the connection between Graze, Point Item Value and the Clear Bonus all in that one statement  :V

It took somewhere in the region of thirty attempts (most of which were relearning the card since I'd never bothered with macrododging and it was hurting my consistency). Very pleased to have managed it in a short timespan like that; I went into it thinking it'd take me a week at least to build up the consistency to pull it off.

12-8 looks like a puzzle-type to me. I've been treating it like one for the time being with pretty good success; I don't even have to amass defensive shots to close in and take a good shot. Seriously, all I've done so far with my shots is scoring, defensive, scoring, etc. though that might be subject to change as I progress further. I'll get around to finishing it off in the morning (i.e. after I wake up); I've had enough of being screwed over in 12-7 when going for 1.7mil.

DS 108/108 Scenes cleared.
>81 million total score.
As of this post, I have 11 firsts, 11 seconds and 3 thirds on Royalflare. However, one of those seconds is technically a first because the scores are identical. I also have suspicions on the current person who's beating me at 7-3 but I'll look at that later; I won't go into details at this point in time.

Potentially speaking, I reckon it's possible to go above 84 million at least. The steady climb where every point matters begins soon...

I should probably touch that one up seeing as it's looking fairly terrible with three "missed" shots, and the Spoiler Stages as they're worth a fair bit as well.

Start from SP-4, clear it and choose "Next Scene". You'll transfer over to SP-5 as Aya. Keep clearing until you reach SP-9 (remember to choose "Next Scene" each time!). If you even care about score, do note that your top score will be overwritten by the most recent clears.

But something kept going wrong every single [redacted] time, typically near the end. Still, it didn't take as long as I came to fear it would. Special thanks to my keyboard for nearly killing me near the start by recognising down-left as left (you'll know it when you see it).

Alright. That makes you the ⑨th person to do this. I bet FAV and Veronica never expected that many people to do this. :)

94 scenes in DS with Aya...
I had a great time with the EX and 12 stages. All I have left is SP-5, and 12-8 of those two stages.
And.... Red Cloak Blue Cloak was one of the most awful stages I ever played on.

Oh yeah, that's right. About Double Spoiler. I cleared 10-4 with Hatate.

That was pretty fucking difficult. 9-7 may be the card that troubled me most with Aya (aside of DNAmaku) but with Hatate its this one. At least it wasn't BS. It was fun so i won't be complaining. Only EX-5 left to go now. I'm really not looking forward to it. Lasers and all. (Forecasting raging)

I spent a good deal of time playing Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana. I'm pretty bad at it but i have managed to time it down to the 40s a bunch of times. My record being at 40 seconds at which i was bubbled. Its hard as fuck but its also very fun so its not a problem. I don't really know if i'll be able to get a timeout. It seems to get even faster when you reach those 40-50 final seconds. Its probably just a question of how long i can maintain patience with it.

Uhh... they're the same person?

Found a way to completely trivialise the Magic Stones' collapsing wall phase during a save state run. Would never have thought it was that simple.
Also the safespots for the stage 4 midbosses are just silly.

Also, I tried my hand at translating those spell card titles. Most are in katakana, so I translated all but two of them.

For the walls hug the left or right side of the screen, then go through the wide open path when the bullets reach the rightmost star in the background back to the center of the screen to dodge the next phase.

As for the stage 4 midbosses... go above it.  :V
You can still damage it from there, the only thing you have to worry about are the homing shots, but you can get rid of those in the corners.

Not moving at the start ≅ Dancing around on one side of the screen.
(yes, that's a congruent sign)

Granted, I didn't do mine with savestates so it looks pretty flawed; but the idea is there I believe. The only notable difference I'm seeing is that I'm much higher on the screen.

EDIT: On that note, I think I discovered another scoring trick to utilize in DS. Going to give it an actual trial run later in the day.

I used 32 bombs ( :V ), and captured 11 Spellcards.

Nabbed 767k for EX-2. I'm still a bit uncertain about a few things. Maybe taking defensive shot(s) while waiting for Marisa to start moving around counter-clockwise is the best way to go about scoring? But how does one go about taking defensive shots when Marisa is in close proximity?
Yeah seriously, if this is the only way to go about optimizing things, then it's going to be quite difficult to actually net an outstanding score
.

Also, this (http://score.royalflare.net/th125/replay125/th125_ud0b93.rpy) is how 10-8 is supposed to be done for you people who detest scoring  :getdown:

Finished Double Spoiler as Hatate. It didn't take long at all. EX5 and 10-4 were the most troublesome though EX5 was more annoying than it was hard. 10-4 was pretty fun though. I really like ZUN's congratulations screen. He's like : "You're amazing (mostly for perseverance). I lol'led at that. Its like he knows his games can be frustrating as fuck. (Though DS was mostly golden entertainment for me.)

Also. My Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana timeout is now at 12 seconds. Yuyuko. You are evil. I suppose i should think of this as Yuyuko's way to express her love. I'll have this timeout soon. I am going to take a break now. The speed of that spellcard is giving me a headache. :)

Its incredibly fun though. I just hope i can get it in under 500 shots and not be like SP.

Did Philosophy ND1B, I bombed the yellow phase to be safe, but honestly, I didn't really need it... and then I captured Subterranean Rose with 2 power (which is really low, considering it's MarisaA).

And then the game crashes when I save my score, and it didn't save the spellcard record or my clear. So I have to do it again. God dammit.

Buddhist Diamond (11 seconds left is my best) and Tree Ocean of Hourai(like that's ever going to happen). Also, 3 of Kaguya's nonspells would be worth going for as her last one is too easy.

Also, for Blue UFOs, remember that the lasers come out of the UFOs themselves, not Nue. Give priority to attacking the UFOs over Nue. It's easier with MarisaA since you'll be able to hit the ones behind Nue, but just don't lose your cool and you'll be fine.

I JUST CAPTURED BURY IN LAKE LUNATIC. DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD.

That reminds me that I still need to capture Sylphae Horn High Level to complete my Lunatic Patchouli list.

So obviously I failed while I was trying. Might as well try for an Emerald Megalith timeout while trying for this as well, though I'll give up on the timeout if I get the Sylphae Horn High Level capture first.


Edit:

80% Reflowering Captured. In terms of final cards, I'd say it is only harder than Hourai Jewel, Astronomical Entombing(familiar destroying), and Subterranean Sun. Scarlet Gensokyo, Astronomical Entombing(without destroying familiars), VoWG, and LFO kick its ass in difficulty, though I have not had the chance to go against Lunatic LFO. If we throw in Extra final cards too, then I find QED, Izuna Gongen/BoLaD, Subterranean Rose, and Grudge Bow harder. Danmaku Bounded Field, Hourai Doll, and Mishagujisama are easier.

I always liked rainy weather but when the rain becomes a waterfall of lethal water you have to start dodging. I decided i wanted to do it after reading Formless' video description on his Yamato Torus timeout.

Illusionary Waterfall Timeout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MC4GNfOrTEw)

Its a pretty spellcard. I just don't have an idea what i shall say about it in terms of difficulty. A month ago the card was intimidating but now i apparently am consistent at it. Is it an easy card i ask myself... :/ Well, for now it is.

Btw. I meant to say:

I wonder if EoSD or MoF will be next. The only ones I have left to do on EoSD are Lunatic Scarlet Meister, Lunatic Scarlet Gensokyo, Catadioptric, and QED. For MoF, it's Terukuni and Suwa War.

I tried that "Hollow World of God" Touhou clone on Hard difficulty.

Wasn't really hard. At all. I have had Normal mode runs of a regular Touhou game at my current skill level where i died more. The game pretty much gives you a hundred years of deathbomb time and about as much power as if the UFO power ups were worth 5 like normal instead of 1. In addition, the game uses MoF/SA bombing and when you get that much power you can bomb quite a lot. 

It was a pretty entertaining experience though.

I could probably do a true pacifist of Ran with some effort, not the entire stage though. The main problems would be Charming Siege, Unilateral Contact, the timeout phase, and not randomly derping the nonspells.

The timeout phase would be terrible though unless I managed to get lucky and safespot it, which is possible on Ran's if she doesn't decide to move. Unfortunately, she loves to move around.
Title: Re: Touhou ::smug:: Thread (VIII)
Post by: Zengeku on June 04, 2010, 02:26:02 PM
and not randomly derping the nonspells.

This is pretty much the reason I don't want to do pacifist extra battles in addition to the fact that they take forever. Most extra stages consists of a lot of very easy attacks and a few hard ones. Pretty much all EX-attacks have timers of over 60 seconds and Suwako's first two spells have over 99 seconds. That in itself is a huge turnoff for me. Boring like nothing else and as the tedium rises, so does the chance of randomly clipping something.

Speaking of pacifism, i tried pacifying Youmu Lunatic... its pretty safe to say that it didn't go very well... i somehow managed to die on her third spellcard three times but i at least managed a 1-death timeout of Hell God Sword.

Ran doesn't move around, she moves towards you.
The whole point of the safespots is to do them in places where she and Yukari cannot move any further to the left or right and staying on the respectable side of the enemy marker to make her come to a full stop. That's why the safespot is usually done near the edges of the screen.
I'm not sure if you can safespot the timeout phase though, as the first two waves have to be misdirected to make it work.

Also pacifists aren't really that hard IMO. If you can do the patterns consistently, then doing it pacifist is only a small step up in difficulty.

Right, this has been bugging me a bit. For months even. The quote in question that made me realize that I never got around to clarifying something that I randomly thought of months ago:
That ain't pacifist! You used bombs! :V
Ok, there seems to be a lot of confusion about what constitutes as a pacifist run. I'm only going to say this once.

In pacifist runs, you are not allowed to use bombs. At all. Why? Because bombs have the potential to deal damage, which makes calling a run as a "pacifist" completely pointless. Instead, please call it a "No Shooting" run.

Gensokyo.org follows this format; labeling a replay as "pacifist" and "no bombs" will result in only the pacifist tag showing.

Had to get that off my chest. Carry on!

Might want to try "true" pacifist sometime though.
1 bomb for all intents and purposes in LLS is equivalent to 2-3 lives with regard to survival time. So your 1D<3-6>B for "GRT" is the equivalent of losing 6+ lives or so  :V

I swear this wasn't happening until recently.  Based on rare visits to videos and replays.gensokyo links the distorted image of progression is more like regular pacifist runs to "Pacifist, but I used bombs" to pacifist runs with no mention of bomb usage if they were used.  That's okay though; we can change this idea one person at a time!

I see deathwaves as more akin to someone punching you and suffering a fist injury.  So in our fantasy setting, because all boss-like entities need to explode when damaged, it is no fault of the player that their unpreventable UNLEASHING OF MAGICAL ENERGY upon temporary death caused some harm.  Even if it annihilated a few fairies.

So, one miss against her fifth noncard (with the criss-crossing kunai), and it was a sad sight.  No pressure, openings abound, just "Hey I want to quickly squeeze between the two to my right!  Unfocused jump -- wait, did it too early or late or something.  Too late, miss."  Then one miss against Double Black Death Butterfly.  Her positioning was favorable most of the time, I think.  I don't know how far down she can go.  Waves getting thicker later on was unexpected.  Then three against BoLaD.

Because deathwaves can deal damage as well, that means that you can't die either.  :derp:
The deathwave feature is present only in MoF+ (IIRC). You could ram certain enemies to destroy them in the PC-98 games as well as EoSD, PCB, and IN FWIW.
Obviously wasn't talking about Mugetsu and Gengetu.  :V
You had the sentences right next to each other!  :V

"Pretty much everybody" is wrong then  :derp:
And this is the scary disturbing truth.
<insert Beatrice the Golden Witch example here>

I see deathwaves as more akin to someone punching you and suffering a fist injury.  So in our fantasy setting, because all boss-like entities need to explode when damaged, it is no fault of the player that their unpreventable UNLEASHING OF MAGICAL ENERGY upon temporary death caused some harm.  Even if it annihilated a few fairies.

Pacifism: refusal to bear arms (magical life force doesn't count).  Don't ask about bombs in stock.
This is what I probably should've tried to relate to, obviously I blame my sleepiness factor for this.
That was definitely worth a minute of laughing too; I'll admit
. As such, it would be best explained that bombing is an entirely voluntary action (defensive or offensive), whilst just simply (taking the hit and) dying is not an entirely voluntary action. Do not jump to the conclusion that dying is always an involuntary action, because the two don't have the same meaning.

Just to make sure we're clear on thisTo demonstrate, I uploaded a replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=8995) with the conditions as shown:

Yamato Torus Timeout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQsGK8EA8ew)

Because i can! Kanako is a pretty easy S6 boss. Except for Virtue of Wind God that is. Yamato Torus is decently fun though. I wanted to time it out for a long time and then that Formless God came along and did it before i got around to it. Meh.

Well, it only took one attempt anyway so i'm cool.

Two and a half hours.

Two and a half hours playing a 1:30 danmakufu script.

Two and a half hours playing a 1:30 danmakufu script with danmakufu's inherent shitty controls.

Two and a half hours playing a 1:30 danmakufu script with danmakufu's inherent shitty controls compounded by a fight that is 2/3 luck-based on whether you reach the final phase no deaths or with one life remaining.

Two and a half hours...MAKES VICTORY ALL THE SWEETER.

I don't care that my performance on the second phase was terrible and I didn't even get thrown a bad wave. I know the final attack gave me the most lenient wave possible. I don't care.

I beat it.

I.

Beat.

EVACANEER DOOM.

Not exactly the hardest thing to timeout. Now you need to go do Illusionary Waterfall. I also wanted to do Divining Crop but i died after 50 seconds and didn't feel like trying it again. It wouldn't make for a very impressive display anyway.

Btw. Formless... how is it going with your Devils Recitation timeout? Its your chance to do something that i won't duplicate. ::)

And i beat Cirno in MegaMari. This game is harder than Mega Man... by a large margin. Has anyone ever done perfect runs of this game?

Oh man these are fun!  :]

Already beat DOJ Hibachi and DOOM. They weren't too bad.

DFK Hibachi is more of a thing though. Managed to get to his final phase 3/3 and got it down to 1/5 of his health.
Could have made it if I had BOMBED MOARE.  :/

His first phase is a 2 bomb, second perfectable, laser phase is doable until they come from both sides and the second to last is just a health rush.
Actually managed to dodge a couple of waves of his final attack. Maybe I can do this? :>

Control lag BAWWW
Strange, I didn't notice any lag. You are using the v-sync patch right?

4/0

How exactly do you do the second one and with which character?

EDIT: nevermind, managed it now

anyways, how do you do the laser one? it seems like a guessing game, but when I get the side wrong, the bullets aren't as dense compared to streaming away from the laser.
 and how do you skip the 4th streaming attack?

Don't unfocus too long though otherwise you'll get a laser to the face.
I wonder if this would work in the real game, because I don't recall ever seeing somebody do it this way.

also I did it by unfocusing right near him/her, but that makes me obviously do less damage which doesn't let me skip the 4th attack

About the laser phase, I just begin in the middle and go to the side where the lasers spawn.
A good thing to know is to stream in the middle of the screen so that you have a gap in the bottom to turn around.

Those OVERPOWEREDMIKOS trivialize the entire script though :/

I never made the v-sync patch work with Danmakufu which makes playing those scrips impossible to me... :(

I also managed to beat Youmu, Reimu and Yuyuko in MegaMari. The regular Mega Man games are easy in comparison (not that most Mega Man games are very difficult anyway) but its pretty rewarding to beat those bosses. Especially when you have no idea which weapons are good against what bosses. Except that the Rolling Cutter is fucking awesome. Its like Top Spin just awesome.

I did use Rolling Slash. I was just pretty paranoid to not hit the Tewi's enough to actually kill them (failing to do so means pitfall) or getting too close to them and making physical contact with them before killing them with the Rolling Cutter.

Cleared Sakuya and Remilias Stages in MegaMari. Remilia seems really hard to play buster-only. At least i brought her weakness... i want safe-states so i can practice boss fights and dominate them like in Mega Man. (MM10 has challenge rooms. Shame on MM9 though.)

Sakuya was a really fun boss battle too.

Also, doesn't really belong here but i never go to the shmup thread so i'll just descreetly mention that i made it to the S4 boss in DDP without bombs in what is essentially a blind run because i haven't played the game much at all. I also like how i perfected all the bosses. Then Stage 5 came... :fail:

Okay guys. I was JUST about to have a Scarlet Meister capture but then i slammed into a bubble while trying to get under Remilia. Dammit. If i wasn't so careless i would've capped Scarlet Meister.

But then i capture Scarlet Gensokyo! Yes! Finally that card budges. Even after i stopped clipping bubbles frequently i just started dying to bullets again because she had this fetish going on around positioning me within this box of red bullets that fly in each their directions not to forget that there is bubbles that needs watching. HELP! *die*. Not this time though. That means i only need Scarlet Meister and i'll have captured all spells in the entire series... if it wasn't for Fantasy Heaven and Yukari's Last Word... i swear if i'll ever capture those cards it will be with two seperate computers: One i'll be playing on and one that will show a replay i'll immitate step by step. Damned long ass memorization cards.

For someone of your skill level, Yukari's Last Word shouldn't take more than twenty minutes if you sit down and focus on it.

Fantasy Heaven gets really nasty in the last ten seconds, but before then it's pretty simple to develop a path through. With the Magic Team, it took me 250 tries to get FH, while Yukari's LW took only 35 tries.

Touhou 12 - Extra Stage Clear (Reimu A)

Holy shit. I haven't played this game in a month, and I finally beat extra on my second try when I come back to it? Awesome.

I pulled an epic win. I went into Nue with like half a life because of fooling around during the stage, so I figured I might as well see it through. So then I pulled off a ridiculous amount of spell card captures, including her last card which I had never seen before, and a few I never capture. The only death I had was... actually, I don't remember where I died.

Hopefully the replay works; I was using the vertical play thingy, and one of the other games had a problem. but whatever.

I honestly don't find her hard at all anymore. It's just a bunch of trickery.

After the initial wave it's moving right- left- right- left after hearing her shoot the aimed bullets. Make her move to the right. It should end before the "left wave" reaches you.

I've actually been playing DOJ myself and I'll say that Hibachi's attacks are SO MUCH HARDER in the actual game, especially his opener.

I haven't played the scripts myself, but apparently there's a limit to how fast you can make bullets go in danmakufu before they start passing through your hitbox; I'd imagine this is why the script is a lot easier, since those attacks are ridiculously fast in the real thing. :V

Just set up a bot or something which chooses to try again when it dies and to save the replay when it times it out, I bet it can't take more than 20 years! All you need is a spare computer and remembering to check for results every week or so.

Well, just wait and find out because there's no way that I'm changing my mind now that I'm sure about going through with it. For the curious, this is to reflect changes in my lifestyle.

It went pretty well. Perfect Rumia, 1BND Cirno, perfect Meiling (which kinda shocked me to be honest  :o)...I made it up to stage 5!
The best part?
(http://i49.tinypic.com/3uaf9.jpg) (http://i47.tinypic.com/iektqb.jpg)
Unfortunately, I lost mostly all of those on that stage, and finally game overed literally the second before Sakuya's last card was going to end. Oh well.

Well, no. Lost 3 lives on the last 3 spellcards. Then die stupidly everywhere on stage 5, then game over on Sakuya.

After being more than sidetracked by a certain team-based fps, I decided to play a little again. After a couple of days where I played like crap, today I managed to get to midboss Eirin before continuing, and I would've gotten another extend with another 20 point items, so I think my 4th lunatic 1cc is not too far away.

I'm going final A, btw. Except for Braaaaains, I like the battle more. Also, I still haven't figured out how to do life-spring-infinity properly (and no, I don't want somebody to tell me).  :V

YEEEESSS! 2 really big reasons I'm so happy: first 1cc of a game that doesn't vomit lives (in fact I thought it gave 8, not 6*) and my first 1cc of the game that introduced me into Touhou (and my first shump since Suwako knows when). Ended 0/2.

I also suppose I should apologize; the game isn't as bullshit as I thought (just Sakuya). Though probably gonna take a break from shmups for now.

Ironic that just after posting about how I was burnt out from running EoSD lunatic too many times in a row, and couldn't read for crap anymore, I immediately succeed in 1ccing it. (Replay) (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=9078)

0D1B Patchy, which I'm pretty pleased with. I entered stage 5 better off than ever have. Kinda lousy Sakuya, though. Also, one of the most terrible Remilia fights I can imagine having, and still winning. Arrived 4/2. Won 0/0. Scarlet Gensokyo alone took a whopping 5 bombs and 1 death. Bomb-tastic on the whole, but hey, it's progress.

Speaking of which, I also got my first MoF lunatic 1cc a couple days ago. (Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=9079))

Even more bomb-tastic than the above (I'll take some comfort in MoF being supposedly harder to no-bomb, anyway).
I've never personally understood why MoF seems to be often considered the easiest lunatic. On the whole, I find the game considerably harder than EoSD, PCB, or IN, and the 1cc actually surprised me, at this point.

Anyway, that's 4 of 6 lunatic 1ccs now. Just SA and UFO (haha, right) left.

A little gift for Formless God and those who call Yuugi their nemesis. A true pacifist run of Yuugi on Lunatic. I die once as i mess her final non-spell up but the entire run should be useful as demonstration of how to beat her. I seriously had to do this after seeing posts about getting walled by her opening non-spell. Seriously, how does that happen? I don't even shoot but i still dodge it without trouble.

...I have a replay. I should probably just memorize the points where to take the photos already, otherwise I'll end up ~300k short of the theoretical. Constantly. Also, I refuse to use the English Patch for this game on the account that I lose most of my scoring markers. And obviously, I'm lazy so I'd rather not relearn the spots using the english names.

That said I apparently have a rather large number of EX replays here as opposed to the SP ones. So it's probably a lot more even now, just that SP may or may not be milk-esque

Start with Ran or Mokou.

I started with those two. They're the easiest and most forgiving Extra stages. However, it's a lot of memorization.

Don't forget that IN lets you practice the Spell Cards individually, so you save a lot of time.

Koishi is HOLY FUCKING SHIT hard. imo.
1000+ Tries, ZERO victories.
Title: Re: Touhou ::smug:: Thread (VIII)
Post by: Serela on June 13, 2010, 01:09:30 AM
Koishi is really hard.

Ran is a great one to start with. Suwako is too. In both cases, you just gotta figure out the first card, and you'll realize they aren't terribly hard.

Nue is worse, but still one of the easier extra stages. One of the funnest ones to play as well, IMO.
Title: Re: Touhou ::smug:: Thread (VIII)
Post by: CK Crash on June 13, 2010, 01:34:51 AM
Extra Difficulties:
EoSD: Easy stage, difficult boss, requires more skill than memorization
PCB: Easy stage and boss, but requires a lot of memorization
IN: Easy stage and boss, a few short segments that require a lot of skill
PoFV: wut
MoF: Very easy stage, easy boss, most forgiving bomb system
SA: Somewhat difficult stage and boss, and most unforgiving as well
UFO: Difficult stage, very easy boss, but requires skill to maximize lives/bombs during the stage

So yeah, Suwako's stage takes the least amount of real dodging skill, and when you screw up, you can bomb and regain the power after 1 or 2 attacks.  PCB and IN extras are pretty equal to me, so after MoF, do whatever seems funner :V
Title: Re: Touhou ::smug:: Thread (VIII)
Post by: MTSranger on June 13, 2010, 02:06:39 AM
Flandre is quite easy for me, either one bomb or capture most cards (all except QED), and non-spells are easy
Moukou has some lol easy spells (Phoenix, Xu Fu Dimension, Honest Man Death), and I captured Hourai Doll
I cleared both of those a while ago.

Now for the rest of them:
I tried Suwako, but somehow can't fit through the dense ring in her 2nd spell (Maybe it's because I'm using Marisa C?)
Koishi = not enough lives
Ran seems okay (Sakuya A, lots of borders)
Nue - undefined darkness and after = wtf, and it's too easy to die multiple times in the stage portion
Title: Re: Touhou ::smug:: Thread (VIII)
Post by: Formless God on June 13, 2010, 02:16:26 AM

Title: Re: Touhou ::smug:: Thread (VIII)
Post by: Chaotic Phoenixma on June 13, 2010, 02:33:38 AM
From Hardest to Easiest for me

Flandre, Koishi, Mokou, Suwako, Yukari, Nue, Ran

I did my no death Suwako with MarisaC. For that card, you need to wait for the rings to open up a bit more. Also, keep in mind that I have almost perfected both Ran and Yukari, though I haven't gotten either yet.
Title: Re: Touhou ::smug:: Thread (VIII)
Post by: Alice★f on June 13, 2010, 02:53:14 AM
Koishi = not enough lives
SA Extra gives you a maximum of 7 lives. However, if you die a lot (causing you to miss the fragments), then you'll notice you'll run out of lives quickly.

So the death penalty for SA Extra is 1 1/5th life, plus any bombs you had left. Pretty brutal.
Title: Re: Touhou ::smug:: Thread (VIII)
Post by: Serela on June 13, 2010, 03:11:18 AM
Knowing the real death penalty also requires knowing how many life fragments you get in a no-death run; for example, if no-deaths result in ending with 4/5 of a life, then you can die 4 times with no penalty.

Also, with most of Koishi's spellcards, it's MUCH harder to see your deaths coming. They're usually clipdeaths or just come right out of the blue. This results in MANY more deaths with several/all bombs still left, which really really hurts a run.
Title: Re: Touhou ::smug:: Thread (VIII)
Post by: Chaotic Phoenixma on June 13, 2010, 03:15:18 AM
On the subject of clipdeaths. Those damn hearts. I don't get how the second one of those cards is supposed to be easier than the first as I've never captured that one. Rorschach, Genetics, Philosophy of a Hated Person, Subterranean Rose all kick my ass way too badly. I wouldn't even be able to consistently get to a lot of the end cards now as I haven't played the stage since my clear.
Title: Re: Touhou ::smug:: Thread (VIII)
Post by: Serela on June 13, 2010, 03:22:01 AM
MariA and MariC are a lot better for SA Extra then they are for the main game purely because of their extra survivability through their special bomb abilities.

Using ReimuA is still probably better, but those two are definitely worth giving a try. Or to do afterwords for fun/whatever.

And ReimuC is for if you're a masochist because that's the worst shot type you could possibly use for Koishi as you really just can't position your options on her ever, and you can't stop shooting during her survivals or DEATH. It might make the last phase of Philosophy easier, though.

EDIT:Oh right, the heart cards. I meant to talk about those, not shot types *facedesk* The second one is supposedly easier because it's less dense, but it's really still a more difficult card...

So the death penalty for SA Extra is 1 1/5th life, plus any bombs you had left. Pretty brutal.

Just like with story mode, its not really that much of a problem. You need to die at 5 individual attacks in order to miss out on one extra life. The only way to get less than 6 lives for an SA Extra run is to game over.

Of course, it's not a huge loss compared to the other games.

But six lives? That's assuming you actually get to the end of the stage. Also, for the first timer: Right after Rorshach, run up to PoC to get the fragment, OH SHI- *pichun*

Not that bad, though. The extend system works very well.

After 1cc SA and unlocking stage 6 practice, I capped 4/5 of utsuho's spells in 3 tries.
No wonder people say stage 6 is easier than 5. In the 1cc run, it was like NUKES AHHHHH *bomb spam* though

A few more runs still made me stuck on the SECOND spell for Koishi 0/0 and clipping randomly.
Since you don't get most extra lives at once (unlike other extras),
you are kind of stuck in one spell (which are not particularly easy or anything) for a while until you figure it out.
Die 3 times early on? Restart and do the whole stage again.

Even Nue suffers less from this problem cuz she has some easy spells and so it's possible to get far entering 2/0
With 3/1 to start, I capped a few cards and bombed my way to the survival.

The only way to get less than 6 lives for an SA Extra run is to game over.

That's because Easy Mountain of Faith is harder than Normal Mountain of Faith.

In a nutshell, it's like Lunatic VoWG, only 10x slower and half the bullets, but still has 'solid' walls that ZUN shouldn't expect Easy mode players to clear easily. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKRMW-RWUlc)

Kanako's last spell normal can be captured easily, especially with Marisa C.
Somehow the one in easy mode is like #@$^$#
One problem:
I hate Marisa in MoF, mainly cause her shot types seems strange.

I think I went with ReimuB.. Well, it was the one with the needles I played as.

what.
It's a half-truth; Easy!"MoF" (Spell Card) has the waves breaking up and spreading out as opposed to folding in before spreading, which makes the waves much more difficult. That said, if you play with a relaxed mind, it should be easy enough because the bullets are slower by comparison.

One problem:
I think I went with ReimuB.. Well, it was the one with the needles I played as.
That would be the one everybody calls ReimuB.

On that note:

EX-x takes ~10 minutes so far. ~9 if I crop off a large portion of EX-1 that is me taking a few billion defensive shots waiting for the right moment to appear.
SP-x itself would take a similar amount of time. Might have to do this in two videos after all.
Unfortunately, I'm too lazy to "improve" the current replay for EX-1 after failing a shot because it's actually quite a boring Spell Card to play. EX-4 suffers the same thing, but St. Ajora help me if I'm going to break through my initial clear of 1.7mil.

144,000,000 on UFO S6 Practice. IIRC last time I got 175,000,000 in a completely random Internet cafe ... but hey, at least I broke the score in my own computer this time.

Yeah unless you're counting your active life. Like, the life you play as + your extra lives. I don't really see the logic in counting in the active life but apparently GreenVirus does:

SA Extra gives you a maximum of 7 lives

It's a half-truth; Easy!"MoF" (Spell Card) has the waves breaking up and spreading out as opposed to folding in before spreading, which makes the waves much more difficult. That said, if you play with a relaxed mind, it should be easy enough because the bullets are slower by comparison.

The funny thing is, according to my Spell Card history I actually have captured Easy!"MoF" a number of times. Granted, I was a Normal Mode PlayerTM by then but it does definitely say that it isn't exactly harder than "VoWG". But yes, it did slaughter me more often than not; that's for certain  :V

No. Formless probably just doesn't count your active life as a life. I think he misinterpreted your post about 7 lives as 7 extra lives. You can only get 6 extra lives just like Sapz's perfect run shows.

Most unsatisfying 1cc ever. :< I beat EoSD lunatic ending 5/0, but it was accidentally a max lives run (I forgot to reset the lives after the face challenge on CPMC). That fact tugged on my mind the whole run, and even though this would be my best performance ever even at default lives, I can't be happy about it.

Yumemi with no extra lives. I lose very very quickly. FIRST TIME I REACHED LUNATIC YUMEMI.

Don't worry too much about Kanako. That entire fight is messed up.

Opener is pretty tough regardless, though I could be remembering wrong as I haven't played Normal, Hard in a while. Second nonspell is at its hardest on Normal. IIRC, the third nonspell is harder too due to the slower speed on Normal, though I could be remembering this wrong too. Misayama is harder than the Hard and Lunatic version. Otensui is hardest on easy and becomes easier as difficulty goes up. And the final card is hardest on Lunatic, followed by Easy/Hard, followed by Easy/Hard(not really sure whether MoF Easy or VoWG Hard is harder), then Normal as the easiest version.

EoSD extra clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=9139). This makes 4.

I have to say, this was the least enjoyable extra stage for me so far. The stage/nonspell portions felt like an early prototype of PCB extra, and of the spellcards, only Starbow Break stood out as particularly fun/interesting.

Now, should I do Mokou next, or work on one of the PC98 titles?

Mokou with the Scarlet Team. Since for Extra, they're better than Border in almost every aspect except not being able to cheap out the (easy+static) deathfairy.

With the exception of Fujiyama Volcano, Possessed by Phoenix, and Hourai Doll, you shouldn't need to Spell Practice.

Mokou is quite simple and you should easily cap at least 5-6 of her spells (Fujiyama Volcano might drain your lives though),
and the stage portion is the easiest imo (except for Keine which is a bit annoying).

I find Flandre just a bit harder (QED being way harder than Horai Doll)

No no no no, you got your advertising all wrong. First you need to use obnoxiously large lettersLIKE THIS and then paint it all red and remember to type what you did. As i followed your link and found your replay links i didn't even notice that they all went the same place. Not before looking through the topic again after failing to find the timeout. I just figured it was a bunch of StB replays or something like that.

Also... i only used about 320 attempts to do it which means that i did it faster than Baity, omg doing anything faster than Baity must be an accomplishment of its own.  :toot:

Also,I fully expect) this to happen.

Good. You should do.

-----------------

Now for something completely different. I decided i wanted to mess around with some danmakufu scripts. I downloaded the Vs. Iku Nagae script and the EosD Final Last Words. I capped the last words pretty fast (except for Chromatic Reflection, i think it was called, which took quite some effort.) and have capped pretty much everything on Lunatic in Iku. Its pretty fun despite control lag. (Can't get that damn vsync working... grr...)

Thumps up to Onthenet and Johnny Walker. They know what they are doing and they're creative. :)

EDIT:

I played meself some UFO Lunatic. Now i know that for a guy like me who can't find love for the game despite my best efforts to the contrary (really, i want to like it. I just cannot), playing the game is like poking at the hornet's nest. You are asking for pain. And i died. A lot. But i still managed to salvage something somewhat good about it.

Murasa 3rd non-spell captured with 1xx power. (I don't think i have capped it before at all...) and a capture Radiant Treasure Gun as well as Shou's non-spells. Too bad she then decides to kill me with all her other spellcards... (VoPB at the final split-second i might add)

Embarassingly enough i died at Aura of Light too. Maybe its for the better that i didn't capture the rest of her cards. I don't want a pseudo-perfect Shou battle that only lacks Aura of Light.

Just checked out UKT's new world record for SA, and tried to mimic what he did for the first half of Stage 3. Managed to pull it off a few times, though I'm still working out how he's getting more graze than I am on Yuugi's first nonspell (have an idea, but can't test it yet). While it may be possible I or someone else finds a way to get more graze there, I kinda doubt it'll happen, so it's nice to know I can do at least one part of this game with score in mind.

Then after that it was just AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH and how is that even possible god damn.

Apparently, I can consistently reach Chiyuri in Lunatic PoDD with at least two extra lives. But only if I play as Kana. And I get Chiyuri to half a heart left about 2/3rds of the time.

This is strange. Also, good. But... if I'm that good when I play Kana, why do I not do quite as well playing someone like Reimu or Yumemi?

How the heck can Koishi win that poll? Sure, she was the final extra boss i took down (Nue wasn't around back then) but playing against her today she is easy cake. Maybe its a lot of people who have only cleared extras once and reflect on how much effort each boss took them. I did spend quite some time on all of the extra bosses as i was bad at Touhou when i decided to do it. Koishi was the hardest though. Back then that is.

Now its by any means Nue. With only two lives + 1 in the battle there is the least room for error.

what.

How can you find Nue of all bosses to be the hardest? Her only three non-easy cards are Undefined Darkness, which isn't that bad, Rainbow UFO, which surprisingly isn't too evil if you do it correctly, and then Grudge Bow because that last phase is damn. Everything else should be beatable with 1 bomb at the most.

Koishi and Yukari are the only two Extra bosses that I can't clear consistently. Heck, I hadn't done Flan in a year(since beating her), then last week I finally fought her again and cleared 2/2 with a QED capture that I'm very happy about. And that's with a death 3 bombs in stock on Maze of Love, since it was the first time I'd ever tried to do it the right way (at least I only died once on it :\)

I'm starting to find Koishi to be way easier now, but still easy to clip.
Right now UFO > SA extra b/c of the stage portion.
SA extra stage is even easier than MoF for some reason (maybe I should bomb more in MoF).
Flandre is WAY too over rated. Her non-cards are very easy. Her cards can be beaten with at most 1 bomb.

I normally don't use bombs in Extra. And about Nue's attacks, i'm more likely to die to Heiankyou's Nightmare than Rainbow UFO's. Rainbow UFO's is just some dodging while Heiankyou makes me claustrophobic. Grudge Bow is good. Undefined Darkness... i don't like that attack. The only way to die at it is if you can't see what hits you.

Then it would be important to mention the more challenging stage portion and what i'd easily call the toughest EX mid-boss. Aside of Patchouli, EX-midbosses are easy-sauce and even Patchouli isn't that bad but i have a nasty tendency of misreading Kogasa's 1st and 2nd spellcard. The stage portion is also tougher. Not just survival but UFO chaining makes it tougher.

I just did the best MS lunatic 1cc yet (with Yuka, of course <3), AND got it on camera. :D Five deaths, sixteen bombs. First death was a derp clip halfway through Yuki and Mai. Of course, there had to be one horrific mistake, which was when I ran into a kunai on the first part of stage 5 and died with two bombs in stock. Even so, finishing 2/2 (noting that as usual I missed the 400 point extend) and recording it is a good feeling. :)

Buddhist Diamond Lunatic Timeout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnHd4AYvAhM)
Buddhist Diamond timed out on Lunatic. Took only 10 tries. It even tried to wall me in but i was really "in the zone" at the time so it didn't matter.

UFO stage portion is Ha ha, old chap! :V

I don't know what it means to be old chap but i often clip while UFO chaining. Stupid me eh? Also, i don't accept bombs during EX stage portions unless its for score. I just restart until i get it right. All the earlier Touhou games have easier EX stage portions and while EX bosses usually aren't that big of a threat to me i pick Nue as my hardest as she is the hardest to get to perfectly. And she is also one of those bosses that actually have hard attacks at the level of QED (though easier than QED) and BoLaD (which i'm apparently consistent at).

Played MS Lunatic.
Perfected stages 1-4 and 1-death Yumeko. Yumeko is quite entertaining but she is quite happy about boxing me in. :(

Then i went to Shinki. I managed to capture her laser phase quite a lot of times but i am nowhere near consistent at it. I mess up stupidly. It was still a pretty fun attack. Much more fun than the curvy lasers nowadays.

Then i went through the herculean task of finally clearing Devil's Recitation (still MS). I was always very bad at it and died several times just to get through. Including bombs. But now i have managed to capture it! XD

It did take quite a long time though. I had a lot of 1DNB runs of the attack. Meh.

-Captured Maze of Love by actually going through the maze and not just waiting it out at the bottom

What this replay contains: A run of IN Final B, in which due to a freak accident I bomb on the stage, then proceed to perfect Kaguya. Yes, I lose out on a NDNB run of Final B because I screwed up on the stage. THAT stage. I'm not mad for some reason. Probably because I JUST PERFECTED KAGUYA.

Okay, so I failed her second and fifth last spells, but I don't count last spells as part of the boss.

Still, great job about "perfecting" Kaguya. I perfect her up to Hourai Jewel. Then IN suddenly becomes infuriating. Just a question for Donut here: You seem to have memorized this spellcard so is it fun to do now that every single move you do don't spell instant death?

Yay, SA lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=9251).

Messy, but hey, at least I can say I've done it, right? (Perhaps a little sad, but I think the part of this I'm the most proud of is actually capturing DBDB >.>)

Until extremely recently, most of my 1cc attempts barely made it to Satori. When I somehow managed to arrive at Orin with 5 lives in stock, I decided to try stopping my usual "I've never captured this before, and will almost certainly die if I try, but let's do it anyway" behavior and bomb things so that I could seal the 1cc (since it was actually in range, this time). Of course, I STILL died 3 times to Orin, and didn't capture anything. But, hey, I still squeaked through in the end.

That means UFO is the only windows lunatic I have not 1cc'd, now. ^^;

Now I'd like to know why I have such a mental block on bombing in MoF and SA to a lesser extent... it should be easier to spend bombs when they're a near infinite resource, so why do I keep dying with near maximum power in those games  :ohdear:

Very concerned about this. One, 9 misses. When you take off the bug death, that's 8, which looks alright. 8 misses is the absolute maximum that you can reach on the 400 Extend! on default settings. However! You claim to have reached the 400 Extend! after dying on the final attack. Which means that you dipped into the -1 region, if only for a brief moment. The way the spare lives work into the calculation is when you dip below the threshold at any given time, it's a failed 1cc, not just at the end result. This even follows the assumption that you didn't pull the bug-death at the start. If you include the bug-death, you technically sit at -1 at the end result, dipping into the -2 zone.

I'd also like to make the public announcement of stop shotgunning FFS; only do it when you're playing for score as bosses have invulnerability for the start. If you want to shotgun that badly, do it after the conversation.

tl;dr from the technical viewpoint and taking into account that a bug death happened, I would say that it's a 1cc attempt with a Game Over at the final attack.

Outside of that, congratulations on taking on a difficult attack and surviving the entire duration.

Yay, SA lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=9251).

If you're saying that I did this and it may have been responsible for the bug death, I was kinda at the bottom border of the screen :V If you didn't mean that, you just kinda placed this paragraph in a strange spot, seeing as next you go "tl:dr )ry" to sum up the subject of my kindof-a-1cc.

It's the most likely cause of the bug; I was only able to reproduce the bug death by being up higher on the screen. I simply assumed that you were up the screen shotgunning because Reimu actually does respectable damage while shotgunning. I didn't really proof-read over the text so the announcement ended up there.

Having no bombs or shooting really makes things different. For example, the stage is literally impossible :V Spring Kyoto Dolls made me lol at how everything is made of circles. It's easier to dodge if you realize this, too.

I didn't die more then once on anything, wheeee. For my first time pacifisting anything, this was pretty cool. Maybe I should try something harder then Alice, though? I mean, if it only takes one try to pacifist, it can't be all that hard... ): But I like Alice, and this was fun, so nya~

SoEW no bombs 1cc

Died only once on Mima?s final phase. It's really not too bad as long as you don't panic. Another highlight was the perfect stage 3 stage portion.
Of course, there were ridiculous mistakes all the way throughout the run but whatever.

You were sleeping while it happened and to my greatest happiness you had some weird dream that caused you to say 'yes' all the time which i just had to time with the priest who was blind and didn't know that you were sleeping. So yeah, you got 'mastered'.   :] :D :blush: :V (i dunno what expression is appropriate)

And... I captured Vajra? Not like I had a choice (no bombs at the time)

Derps all over stage 4. Two deaths to Ichirin. One death to Murasa. Stage 5 was a shit fest.

And I reached Byakuren 4/1.

Captured the Hard version of Star Maelstrom, as usual. And Demon's Recitation for the first time.

I uploaded a cool video about UFO. For once. I almost NDNB the entire stage 4 but some stupid Nue messed that up embarassingly enough. I do perfect Murasa though which is nice. I also uploaded it because the dodging of the post-streaming orbs was fucking awesome.

We will always find something to complain about and you know that.
But. I never asked for things to get harder. I am well satisfied with the level of challenge in all the other games.
If i want things harder then i don't want things to get harder because of false difficulty that can only be mastered through a load of practice.

I value fun over challenge. Its not fun getting hit by some laser before you even know its there. its not fun being hit by an amulet just because it goes in a strange arch. Its not fun being hit by some purple bullets just because some drunkard thought it was a good idea shaking the screen so you lose the orientation. Its not fun having to sit down and figure out what umbrellas to shoot and what umbrellas not to shoot. Nor is it fun to have to bomb easy stage parts just to be able to pick up some UFO tokens that flippantly enough float everywhere you can't pick them up.

All of those things up there can be boiled down to "its your mistake bro" but that doesn't make it fun. Only for masochists.

At least that's not fun in my opinion and i'm sure there is a lot of people who agree. Things need to get less gimmicky and more simple. Double Spoiler had some excellent simple attacks that didn't take much time to understand and was fun to play even if they were easier than the gimmicky attacks. Because of Double Spoiler i am looking forward to TH13. It has the potential to be much better.

In other news, I finally blundered my way through Philosopher's Stone, which means I've capped every single SA Normal card at least once! Yay! Oh, and why didn't anyone tell me ReimuC is so awesome? (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=9295)
Title: Re: Touhou ::smug:: Thread (VIII)
Post by: Krimmydoodle on June 27, 2010, 09:23:57 AM
It's not so much people ragging on ReimuC as it is that people praise ReimuA due to her powerful-yet-simple shot (MarisaA suffers from reverse-focus syndrome, MarisaB requires fancy shotgunning or unintuitive firing directions, everyone else is just plain weaker) and her ability to gap.  That said, I personally don't like ReimuC because of the aforementioned power problem, the trickiness in making the most of her shot, and that I can't think of a single practical use for Ayaspeed for anyone not named GODrake (and it tends to get me killed should I forget Ayaspeed exists when I stop firing, such as during Parsee's second card).  I hear she has the best bomb in the game though, so she's not all bad.

Anyway, congrats on your accomplishments!

It can't be memorized, but there is a general path to follow. Moving around the edges or micrododging is suicide, so weave through the lanes of aimed shots. Reimu's movement follows no pattern, but there's time to react as long as you haven't trapped yourself. It's read 'n dodge, but a different sort than normal.

But it's the stage part that I uploaded that for, including that Lily White timeout. I did shoot some on Lily White before I decided to go for the timeout.

And then proceeded to lose them all during the battle in the most stupid ways possible.

And then pulled off a ND1B clear of the Mountain of Faith spellcard, thus netting me my first normal 1CC outside of IN.

A bit of a serious post.

(http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i293/Arcengal/IN2.jpg)

I've been playing Touhou since October '08. The patterns, the music and everything about it has helped me through some of the hardest times I've ever had, right down to the Hakurei Shrine being my "happy place" if I need to meditate.

On March 11th of this year, my father passed away after a sudden onset of cancer. Needless to say, I was devastated, and after helping comfort my family as best I could, I retreated to my room and fired up Imperishable Night, which at the time was my current Lunatic 1cc goal. I just wanted to lose myself in the challenge, not to mention the sound of Love-Coloured Master Spark and the rest of the soundtrack.

It was on that day of all days that I got what I wanted: a Lunatic 1cc.

I was never happy with the clear I got, since I finished Imperishable Night's End at exactly 5am. It felt as if I hadn't actually won because I "ran out of time" just at the end, not to mention the empty feelings I had that day. It was "good enough"; I achieved the goal I had set out for, but for me it wasn't what I wanted.

Today was the first time I've played IN Lunatic since then, since I've come to associate that particular game and difficulty with the above date and it's sometimes a little painful. It ends a week of me replaying what TH games I have all the way through for old times sake and, other than a false start on stage 1 and losing 4 bombs to a Marisa rugby-tackle in Stage 4, I managed to get a run I was happy with. The Last Spells finished at 2:30am (should have been 2:00am, got SO unlucky with the 3rd) and I captured more spells overall than on my previous run.

I'm eternally grateful to ZUN for creating these games and to MoTK for being such a great community to discuss them in, and I know that the happiness I get from the games/fan stuff, even when associated with painful memories, will continue to keep me motivated.

Apologies if that was tl;dr.

Congratulations with your accomplishment Arcy. You did well. You can do way better than that i'm sure. Keep up good spirits.

Eleven LFO captures in a row, baby :smug:

11 Stage 6 runs in a row... sounds like a SAW trap. Do something with VoWG already!

Oh well... considering that i've already done VoWG i suppose its you who shall time out LFO.

EDIT:

Youmu Lunatic Spellcards Timeout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf-oEy1761M)
The video is timeouts of all Youmu's spells on Lunatic. No lasers, entertaining patterns. Perfect Stage 5 boss go! (Btw. Formless, have you managed to capture Hell God Sword yet?)

Oh god.

After not having played PCB in I don't know how long, I decided to give it a try today. Result: First normal 1CC of the game. The Yuyuko battle was terrible (pretty much bombspammed everything), but after my best Youmu battle ever (captured everything, including nonspells, except for Karmic Punishment (what) and Five Signs of the Deva), resources wasn't a problem.. Entered stage 6 5/3, finished 1/2.

Either Jaimers or Baity got it in like 40 attempts.
And i had to spend 300 tries on it.  ::) Oh well, still did it faster than Baity.
~500. And keep in mind that I was a lot less of a competent player then when compared to now.

I'm not one to normally nitpick at things, especially when it comes to serious things like this, but as a (form of) medical student, I cannot help but do so.
sudden onset of cancer
Cancer can never be a sudden onset, unless you get a physical transmission of cancer cells from one host to another. It is the cause of a sufficient amount of mutations in the cells and is best better described as a "gradual" process. The symptoms and thus the diagnosis of the cancer normally occur at the end-stages of development, and would best explain the rather common conclusion that people think that cancer occurs suddenly. There are factors that do in fact speed up the cancer's growth (more specifically, the mutation rate or DNA coding error) but even those don't alter the rate to such an extent where it would be considered "sudden". Had to get that out of my mind as I did a rather large topic on it quite recently. Pay this only a fraction of your mind because...

Very unlucky. Though i can only see how luck has something to do with it if you try to time it out without moving or something. Sure you can make lucky dodges but its not something i would consider a factor for a timeout that requires 99 seconds of survival. It would take insane luck to fluke the entire thing.

When i went for my timeout i sure had a lot of "derp. I coulda dodged that." moments but i wouldn't consider messing up being due to bad luck.

If by "about your current level" you mean "can 1cc UFO Lunatic with 80% survival-20% score" then sure!

So what you're saying is that you could beat UFO Lunatic back when you did the timeout?

I'm surprised it took me so long to beat Touhou 10. When I started bombing properly I laid waste to the game. Though I've been going back to try and get more spellcards. Captured one of kanako's spellcard but the one I captured was pretty simple so I don't give myself that much credit.

Mountain of faith is not all that dodge but it's more like an endurance test.

Well. Given how you spend more time on it back then than i did now must theoretically mean that i am better now than you were back then which theoretically should mean that i would be more than capable of UFO Lunatic if i actually gave it the necessary time.

Orin was pretty fun. I was really hoping Utsuho would be too, but she unfortunately fell prey to additive blending. Hell, Peta Flare and Hell's Tokamak were easier to read than these cards - what happened, man?

Only lost one life on Orin, who really can be tougher than Utsuho, and I rarely follow the mantra of the stage 5 boss being tougher. Then got my ass handed to me on Koishi's first spell card 'cuz I my reaction time is that of a comatose sloth. Now, if I actually cared about 1cc'ing HRtP, I would have the integers 100% cleared up.

EoSD lunatic all shottypes 1cc'ed (http://replays.gensokyou.org/index.php?u=ebarrett&g=6&p=&t=0&d=4&c=1&ch=0). Getting the first 1cc (almost five months ago!) surely takes some weight off one's shoulders; I only played four other runs after that, and the one which wasn't a clear was the test run for the no-focus ReimuA 1cc. There was a bit of stage 6 practice in there, though - even if it doesn't really show (no SM/SG captures in any of the runs).

Of course, this means next to nothing considering how much everyone has improved in the last months. :V  Though I wonder if no bombs is within reach if I put some :effort: into it for a change.....

MoF Stage 5 Lunatic perfect run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=9386)

About damn time. Even though I'm technically not done with this game, I've had enough of this game's RNG screwing me over for now. Time to move on and let another game's RNG screw me over for a while. :V

Also, perfect Ichirin on Hard. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=9387)

I suppose King Kraken Strike is the only thing of hers that's consistently hard, but I can never get myself to "relax" during the other attacks either. The rest of the stage was ND1BNUFO - I bombed because I got myself walled past midboss-Ichirin. So close to a true perfect run, but I don't have the motivation to go for it right now. I would also feel like trying for a Hard 1cc now too, if Stage 5 didn't randomly destroy me in such random ways.

Even recently, i decided i'd do a random clear following somebody's advice of playing on Hard if Lunatic was too much and i cleared the game with several lives in stuck despite a huge range of stupid mistakes.

UFO Hard shouldn't be too much for those who've cleared Touhou's on Lunatic.

Admittedly, I haven't even tried UFO Hard Story Mode in a few months. BUT, I didn't bother because I knew I was still way too inconsistent at Stages 3 to 6. If I keep dying in the weirdest spots for the stupidest reasons, then I can't trust myself to be able to link decent stage runs together in Story Mode. Even now I'm still not totally consistent, but I do know the levels better than ever. Then again, trying to use to UFO system will call for a totally different playstyle from me, so I'm concerned it'll bring me back to the "totally inconsistent" phase, in spite of whatever work I've done recently. Might as well give it a shot to see where I stand.

Stage 3 in UFO doesn't really take off before Lunatic in my opinion. The streaming fairies are much easier to deal with and i just now managed to do a 1DNB run of the stage including the boss. The death is actually really embarassing. A pretty bad reading error but nothing that changes my mind at all about UFO Hard being so easy that its not very interesting to play.

Stage 3 on Lunatic on the other hand gets much more difficult. And not in the good way like in PCB or something but in the bad way where memorization and weird counter-intuitive strategies is key.

-----------

Also some things StB related. After crying over MoF Phantasm Controls i decided to play StB and went straight to 10-8. It was a little annoying to begin with as i had to readjust to StB Aya's controls but at least those controls worked. I'd say that Momizi butchers that attack. Its not even as pretty as before and the MoF Phantasm remix of Wind God Girl sucks. (Imo of course).

I also tried timing out BoWaP Stb Version. Needless to say, it didn't go too well. I could hardly ever survive more than 40 seconds of it before Yukari would throw a very dense bullet wall that i have only been able to go through on very rare occasions. Not a challenge i'm up for but the experience make me wonder why i've heard so much infamy about this card. Really, if you are taking photos its ridiculously easy. Photo's destroy the only threatening part of the card. The dense wall that can't be moved around.

Anyway, learning how to mostly eliminate lag from Next

I just found something out about Devil's Recition classic that made me go "what" and no lag to actually test it would be nice.

And congrats on Mima, that fight is just Ha ha, old chap!.

I'd link you to the big long post, but what made a difference was to go to device manager, enable the thing called "RS232C.NHW," and under that thing's settings, uncheck "port setting fixed." I have no idea what any of that means, but it removed the lag in Mima's fight if nothing else. Checking my other savestates it still slows a lot on EX Alice's last attacks, and I haven't checked anything else, but...

Shou's 2nd non-spell 1DNB timeout. I think i'm starting to improve at this. If i can just perfect Shou, Kogasa shouldn't be too problematic and then i'll have perfected quite a respectable amount of bosses in UFO.

I may not want to 1cc it but a large amount of unperfected bosses still haunt me.

I would suppose it's the same reason people prefer Yuka to Komachi when you're going for a 1cc.

Yuka being slow as molasses makes for difficult dodging. Hence why Aya is near untouchable?

EDIT:

Did a SA Lunatic 1cc. Finished with 4 lives. I messed up quite a lot during the run so i'm quite surprised i had that many lives left.

Low-lights of the run is: Getting killed on Yuugis final non-spell. Dying twice to BoWaP. Dying to Subterranean Sun just as the spell was dying by running into a bullet.

Before today, haven't touched this stage since I went to unlock Stage 2 Lunatic. Took multiple tries to learn the stage portion, but not too many to get past Nazrin.

ND2B'd SA Extra (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=9422). I need to learn that post-midboss crap and Rorschach. I have to say, Genetics becomes a true joke after doing it 20 times.

Also, I've done a pacifist+bombs run of the same which was roughly the same thing except with more fail at Rorschach. Probably saved over the replay because it was so low scoring, I'm guessing.

Fired up PoD.D today, and somehow got to Chiyuri on my first try before game overing.

With Kana.

What.
Honestly, I do better with Kana then anyone else. On Lunatic. I consistently reach Chiyuri with 2~3 extra lives. At that point, I just pacifist Chiyuri anyway, so being Kana doesn't matter. I'm not sure what to do with Yumemi when using Kana, though...

Kana has low speed (Which can be good or bad, really, but IMO more of a good thing), very fast spell charging (VERY VERY GOOD THING for fast lv1s and easy boss reflects), and her lv1 is great. It sits in front of you for a little while (shotgun a boss when it appears, great damage), and it covers the whole screen (spam while a boss is onscreen for easy damage, and if you got one shotgun in it'll die fast)

Kana takes awhile to take down the AI sometimes, but unless you're fighting Chiyuri/Yumemi, I don't really notice much of a difference and since you're Kana, living longer isn't hard. Reimu has the fast charge, but can't kill bosses fast worth crap. Yumemi has a little trouble reflecting bosses and her lv1 can miss a boss easily, which can spell death. Rikako can't reflect bosses well at all because lol1chargespeed.

Kana isn't really as bad as others say, but Chiyuri and Yumemi might be way bigger problems for Kana then for other characters. Specifically Yumemi.



ANYWAY, I haven't played Touhou in a while! D: Like, weeks, apart from PoDD/HRtP a few times! So I fired up SA ReimuB for an Extra run.

Beat it with an extra life (lol lets clip a rose from behind on her last card) and CAPTURED GENETICSSSSSSSS

Actually, pretty much all my deaths were stupid. lol stage fairies what, Release of Id clip, Rorschach Clip, don't think there was more? I guess Rorschach, being a clip spell anyway, is normal. And I never saw the Id clip coming.

Koishi is just a lolclipdeath boss =|  A quite difficult boss, yes, and for that exact reason. You don't bomb if you don't expect to die. It's a funny play on her manipulation of subconscious, really... she tricks you into bombing much less with spells that don't show their deaths coming... save for her final two.

WOOOOOO KANA 1CC

(http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/1617/endheart.th.png) (http://img717.imageshack.us/i/endheart.png/)
<3



A shame I wasn't recording, now that I think about it, but recording adds another layer of difficulty with the occasional flickering, something I wasn't really willing to put up with in a Kana run. No lives lost until Chiyuri despite a terrifying Rikako fight in stage 6 which I lucked through (she died with both bombs in stock). First Chiyuri round was the biggest shitstorm I've ever seen, I could barely see my sprite in the 30 seconds or so it lasted. Second round vs. Chiyuri was going my way rather comfortably but then I started daydreaming and lost  with a bomb in stock and a full gauge :ohdear:.  The scream I let out was the stuff of nightmares. Beat Chiyuri with relative ease in the third attempt but couldn't help but think I shouldn't have lost two lives there.

That left me with two lives to spare vs. Yumemi.... cue two absolutely demoralizing losses, the first by INFINITE BOSS SUMMONS and the second by Yumemi going forever without taking a hit in a rather pedestrian fight while slowly wearing me down with the occasional bullet-and-star spam from the boss attack.  The third attempt was going pretty much the same way as the second, and I was pretty much already thinking about what went wrong and about that Chiyuri round I shouldn't have lost, when a few lucky chains turned the round into one of those mad "cloud"-countering contests, which is the best way to hit the AI (if it fails to counter a big clump of spirits back, it crashes right into its face no matter what, since it'll pretty much always try to shoot it down). A bit of luck and some ridiculous dodges later, I was back in the match, which then gradually turned into a slow, defensive affair (the AI gets less nuts about actively sending stuff your way when it's low on health/zero bombs).

And then..... how to put it? Evil demonic powers forced my hand, I guess. Half a heart vs half a heart, and Yumemi gets a boss summon. Which sends two bullet-and-star spams my way. Managed to reflect the white bullets both times, and fluked my way past the stars because really, I was shaking so much that I pretty much just stood there petrified as stuff was flying everywhere - and then when Yumemi exploded just as the second wave of stars was going past me it took me quite a while to realize I had won. So much that I actually lost my shot at getting the WIN/LOSE screenshot.  :V

Congrats, ebarret! That's really great! =D

I just 1cced IaMP Lunatic! lolpatchiseasymodo

Didn't die until Infinite Speed Flying Object (TAKE THAT, TRIPLE PAIN), Royal Flared that and Supermassive Conflaguration, then Pandaemonium (Still 2 lives left =D) was going pretty easy until... holy shit that last phase. There's almost 0 room to fit in a Royal Flare, or anything else for that matter. Spammed 236C spring water attack since it doesn't get canceled from being hit, then barely got off a Royal Flare when it turns out she barely had a tink of HP left.

This makes Lunatic 1cc for everything Touhou 4~10.5, and then 12.3 and SoEW. So HRtP, PoDD, SA, and UFO left.

Well, personally, I don't usually tackle a Touhou thing if it doesn't look like I can do it yet. Most things I clear within a try or two; MoF Lunatic was 4.

Not including restarts on stage 1 or 2, of course. Those don't count :c
