god I hate you all with your "oh it took me less than half a dozen tries to 1cc every Lunatic, hahahaha"

All Extras cleared except PoFV
THRtP: Normal 1cc
SoEW: Lunatic 1cc
PoDD: Hard 1cc (damnit all)
LLS: Lunatic 1cc
MS: Lunatic 1cc
EoSD: Lunatic 1cc
PCB: Lunatic 1cc
IaMP: Normal 1cc
IN: Lunatic 1cc
PoFV: Lunatic 1cc
MoF: Lunatic 1cc
SWR: Lunatic 1cc
SA: Hard 1cc
UFO: Hard 1cc
12.3: Hard 1cc

also Shuuso Gyoku extra clear, for what that's worth

I still consider myself a mid-level Hard player.  My Lunatic 1ccs are all a result of not derping (which is why I haven't 1cc'd SA yet) and bombspam.  All Lunatic 1ccs were really, really good runs (with the exception of dying twice on Yasaka's Divine Wind dohohoho) and very much the exception rather than the rule.

- Finished all Windows Extra Stage except for PoFV with Shikieiki.
- No-Bombed both routes of HRtP Lunatic.

Otherwise, there's not much worth talking about. I'll soon perfect PCB Extra though (1 second...).
I just need to stop playing like crap on Kokkuri-san's Contract.

Title: Re: Nobody Cares How Good You Are at Touhou! (Accomplishments IX)

EoSD: Hard 1cc, Extra clear

IN: Hard 1cc, Extra clear
MoF: Lunatic 1cc, Extra clear
SA: Hard 1cc, Extra clear
UFO: Normal 1cc, Extra clear

I really haven't done much at all in the way of Story Mode runs for a few months, mostly doing Stage Practice to perfect individual stages. I would have also gotten an EoSD Lunatic 1cc a long time ago if I had any actual motivation to play that game (my best run ended at Vampire Illusion, shortly after unlocking Stage 6 in the first place).

EoSD: Hard 1cc - MarisaA. Extra... not cleared?
PCB: Hard 1cc - MarisaSPARK, ReimuB. Extra cleared with all but ReimuA, Phantasm cleared with everybody else
IN: Lunatic 1cc - Netherlulregularbombisstrongerthandeathbomb Team, Extra cleared with every combination
Screw PoFV. Normal 1cc's with mostly everybody.
MoF: Hard 1cc - MarisakillVoWGin35secondsC. Extra cleared with ReimuA, MarisaA, MariC.
SA: Normal 1cc with everyone, Extra cleared with MariC, ReimuA.
UFO: Normal 1cc with everyone, Hard 1cc ReimuA, Extra cleared with everybody.
DS: 98~ scenes cleared with Aya.

and various other things were done to spite people who dislike various attacks.

Haven't done enough to list, besides 1ccing all the Windows games along with MS and PoD.D, all on Normal. Cleared all the Windows Extras except PoFV, and...haven't really accomplished much. Like Funen, I haven't really made any Story Mode attempts in months (aside from a few attempts at EoSD Lunatic), so I haven't gotten any 1ccs. I consider myself somewhere in between Hard and Lunatic in terms of skill. :/

Most of my major accomplishments are on my YouTube in my sig. I recently got a No-Focus EoSD Extra Clear (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqpBKiTsLDE) with MarisaA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfwEqwwK6hg) though!

I need to get back to these games. If I don't play, I'll start to suck.

At least a Hard 1cc on every game worth playing except Mystic Square and SoEW.

Normal 1ccs on SoEW, PoDD, PoFV, Mystic Square, UFO

Hard 1cc on LLS

Lunatic 1ccs EoSD(MarisaB)
PCB(SakuyaB),
IN(all teams, 5 solos damn Yuyuko, Sakuya, and Alice are a pain)
MoF( MarisaB, ReimuB, MarisaC)
SA(ReimuC)


All Extras except SoEW, and the photography games.


No Death stage runs on Lunatic/Extra/Phantasm (Windows Only, Practice mode or during full runs)

EOSD (1, 2, 3, 4)
PCB(1, 2, 3)
IN(1, 2, 3, 4B, 5, FinalB)
MoF(1, 2, 3, 5, Extra)
SA(1, 2, 3)
UFO(1)

Various timeouts, Yukari no shooting, Ran no shooting(up to timeout phase on true pacifist), random No Focus  Extra and Phantasm clears. A few no focus Normal 1ccs. A No vert MoF Normal 1cc I never saved due to it sucking so bad. Various other things I know I'm forgetting

Also, all spellcards captured in PCB and IN.

LLS: Easy 1cc
MS: Easy 1cc
In my defense, I'm rather not used to the interface in general, gaps tend to be annoyingly small for some reason, the games lag for me a lot, and no stage practice makes me sad because it's tiring going through stage 1 and 2 every time.

EoSD: Normal 1cc and Extra cleared with ReimuA, max lives normal 1cc with ReimuB and MarisaB. Managed to get to 99.76% on hard with ReimuA once.
PCB: Normal 1cc with all the shot type As, Extra Clear with ReimuA/ReimuB/SakuyaA, Phantasm clear with ReimuA/SakuyaA., Hard 1cc with SakuyaA
IN: Normal 1cc and extra cleared with border team. Also cleared extra with Yukari and Reimu solo.
MoF: Normal 1cc and extra cleared with ReimuA. I can't even 1cc easy with other shottypes except ReimuB :(
SA: Normal 1cc with ReimuA. Nowhere near in Extra Stage, though I haven't really started trying.
UFO: Can't normal 1cc past stage 3 consistently even :( Only a bunch of easy 1ccs with all nonMarisa shot types.

I think my skills is on the low end of hard mode players... not very impressive but hopefully will change a bit for the better in the future.

Today's been a mix of good and bad, but considering what I did accomplish after yet another week of not playing Touhou (in favor of Super Mario Galaxy), I'll put it all here. Let me run this down.

SA Stage 6 Lunatic. After several really derp deaths on the long stream, I go and perfect everything but Peta Flare (bombed because I knew I was trapped).

MoF Stage 6 Lunatic. Takes two tries to relearn how to do Kanako's opener, and "capture" it. I die on Divining Crop and Yamato Torus, but capture Source of Rains what the hell.

UFO Stage 5 Hard. Capture Greatest Treasure and survive six UFO-great-fairies by pretty much sightreading, but I enter Shou at 2 Power. For Radiant Treasure Gun, I try (for the first time) a "stay to the right" strategy I saw somewhere on MotK and end up capturing it. Then I derp Aura of Justice and Demon of Purification.

And UFO Stage 2 Lunatic. Capture PSM again, but panicbomb Kogasa's second card and almost immediately and utterly fail her third.

What a weird way to be inconsistent. I get all the hard stuff but fail the rest.

I am too lazy to post my list. >.> Most notable two updates are beating both Mima and Kaguya no bombs and no deaths.

Anyway, first time touching HRtP in a while, I 1DNB'd Yuugenmagan at max rank (death was at an attack I should have remembered can't be fended off with the gohei).

Perfected PCB Extra. Must be the 2500th person to do it or something.

What's that safespot on Izuna Gongen? Everytime I was somewhere that looked safe Ran was really far away and I barely did any damage.
Or better yet, how do you make her not move so much that the last phase completely goes to hell?

Answer to both questions:Sit directly below her and hope :D

But yeah getting a safespot or not is a bit of luck. You'll probably be inside bullets too, but they all have small hitboxes so.

I just wish the safespot was consistent. Getting pacifist runs ruined just because  I can't duplicate this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFmrDKTIegY) is complete suck. I have no idea how I managed to get the attack going that way just so I could misdirect it.


Cave currently has a lot of my shmup interest thanks to Deathsmiles and Futari. A lesser bit due to ESPGaluda II. But Touhou is still great too.

Also managed to make it up to Shou in UFO Hard today without game overing! A 1cc shouldn't be too far off, if I can get enough bombs for Byakuren.

Of course it's 360 versions. Deathsmiles, Futari, and ESPGaluda II can't even be emulated.

Though I wouldn't have a problem with them being able to be since more people could play them then.

Yay!  I finally finished MS's Extra with Mima! It's my first clear, actually

Honestly, I'd have finished it earlier, but for some reason my anex86 simply makes bullets turn invisible when there are too many of 'em on the screen. 

You can imagine how it would look on Alice's final attack.

Futari was like November of last year. It's region free. ESPGaluda II, was I think February, though I only got it recently. It's also region free, but only on the standard edition.

And of course Deathsmiles came out in the US at the end of last month.

I haz Wii, my bro PS3 and 360. I play the PS2 all the time, but never the other 3, cause my PS2 game library > our Wii, PS3 and 360 libraries combined. Like, 5 RPGs between the 3 consoles, while I have at LEAST 15 for the PS2. RPGs and Touhou are all I play.

Today I realized that I had downloaded Phantasm Romance and had it for months (I only got it because I wanted Reimu's boss theme and forgot about the rest). I gave it a go, and sightread Another Mode up until Mima. It was quite fun by danmakufu standards until Suika and Mima began shooting surprise attacks that spawned bullets on top of me.

PoDD: Same as HrTP.
LLS: Lunatic 1cc - in the glory of let's play this, hurr i won.
MS: Hard 1cc. Considering to do Lunatic sometime soon. I just need to get around to it.
EoSD: Lunatic 1cc. Stage 4 was a trainwreck but made up for in S5 and S6
PCB: Lunatic 1cc. IN: Lunatic 1cc. PoFV: Hard 1cc. Lol Hax Aya Modo
MoF: Lunatic 1cc. SA: Lunatic 1cc.
UFO Hard 1cc: Easy as pie but i'm leaving Lunatic for those of you who actually enjoy this.

Notable Timeouts:

Apollo 13, Brilliant Dragon Bullet, Buddhist Diamond, Asteroid Belt No Focus, IN Spell 21 No-focus, Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana, Virtue of Wind God, Hell God Sword, all PCB Alice's Spells. Maybe more.

Perfects:

Oh, yeah. Finally beat Mokou, bringing the total number of extra stage bosses I've beaten to 3. It boiled down to capturing her first 5 spell cards which was a total fluke, then acting like I knew what I was doing on the remaining ones and doing a shoddy job of that. Seriously, I entered Phoenix's Tail on such a good note and it was almost too messy after that. Still beat her though. Jelly doughnuts tomorrow morning for breakfast.

A no death attempt would easily break 1 billion, regardless of if it succeeded.

My best is around 1.7 billion, I think a little over it.

I never did no death that stage yet because

Rings of Death (Usually I have the bombs for it)
Fujiyama Volcano (forgot how to do it)
Possessed by Phoenix second phase(this has ruined the most attempts at No Death)
Hourai Doll (only had a no death run end here somewhere between 1-3 times so far, not sure)

So I made my first LLS Normal 1cc with MarisaA. That game... shits lives at you.

And then I went for MS Normal. Marisa, again. Reached Yumeko with five lives and three bombs, so I figure I got this crazy shit.

How did I die four times to her first two phases?

Somehow, though, I reach Shinki's Recitation with a spare life and three bombs. Only to die. That shit is claustrophobic compared to Byakuren's Recitation. Three desperate bombs later, I proceed to the last phase with no bombs or lives.

YES!

After several weeks of playing like crap, I thought to myself that doing something different then IN would be good to counteract the drastic skill decrease. So after recapturing StB 9-6 in less than 50 tries, I grew confident and tried IN lunatic again.

Well, whaddaya know, it worked. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=9570) Sadly I fail HE at the very beginning of the green rings, but whatever. Finished with 2 extra lives and captured Astronomical Entombing, without destroying more than three familiars, so that should be enough of an accomplishment.


Now, what is left for me to do is:

IN lunatic 1cc with final B.
PCB lunatic 1cc.
MS lunatic 1cc.
UFO lunatic 1cc.

...hurr...

Critz, congrats dude! Don't think that something like a Phantasm clear will go unnoticed.

Speaking of PCB extra stages, had my first go at PCB Extra tonight in a long time. Perfected everything except two deaths over Ran's last two cards. The one on Izuna Gongen occurred only halfway through, meaning I managed to survive the last phases of the attack. All of a sudden multiple Extras seem not too far away (relatively speaking) from a perfect run.

Took me awhile because I honestly haven't really bothered with trying to go for any new 1cc's a whole lot since discovering the wonderful world of great Touhou fangames. But I'd occasionally do an attempt once a week or so. Today was it. now I just have SA and UFO left...Too bad I can't even reach stage 5 on either...on hard, let alone lunatic.. gah. I don't know if I'll ever do UFO, it makes me rage too much, I just hate the powerup system, it kills me more than any boss or danmkau.

Thanks but, the truth is, I can barely 1cc Normal in PCB or get somewhere in other extra stages  :ohdear:. That run happened just because of my persistence of playing nothing but PCB Extra/Phantasm for the last 2 weeks or so combined with too much luck. I almost feel like I don`t deserve that clear.

Got to Xanadu of Straight and Curve in a 1.5x sped up run. I could probably do this if I STOPPED DYING FOUR TIMES IN THE STAGE.

Isn`t Charming Siege harder because in Xanadu you don`t have to move left and right all the time while trying to get through the bubbles? Same goes for Spiriting Away, because the butterflies are less dense than in Princess Tenko, and I can even go past them diagonally sometimes.

Also I bet that those four times you mentioned are either:
1. Pre mid-boss Ran section.
2. Ran`s non-spell
3. Zenki and Gouki
4. Heavenly possesion
5. "The explosion" post mid-boss Ran
6. The very last section - streaming hell

I bomb every one of these, maybe except first one, but the last one I bomb twice...thank Kanako for borders...

Recommended Lunatic that I should complete first?

Anything PC-98, obviously. SoEW is easy but annoying (any first attempt on any difficulty will DESTROY you, then you know when the cheap crap comes and bomb one second earlier), LLS could be hard-ish but lolresources so just bomb away, MS should be easy but it's very stingy about resources for a Touhou shooter and there's Yumeko who will kill you and all that you hold dear. So yeah, LLS is a good place to start. And hey, you get to fight Yuka twice.

If you are a HERETIC who won't play PC-98, IN is the easiest because of spell practice and tons of bombs, EoSD has the easiest danmaku but relatively few resources + Remilia, PCB can be borderbreaked and SakuyaBombed through, and MoF is easy as long as you remember to BOMB ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING - you can bomb every card AND non-card and still beat it with something to spare. Failure to do so will lead to smashed keyboards and broken relationships, though. I'd say IN or PCB for an easier but satisfying first Windows lunatic.

Have a Phantasm clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=9598). What I like about this run was I captured both "Mesh of Light and Darkness" and "Double Black Death Butterfly". My performance in the last three cards wasn't entirely serious though, since I had so many resources going into them.

To be honest, I have more trouble with MoLaD than DBDB. But good going.

Now capture all the cards in the same run.

memorization vs luckshit
here, the only way to win is to not play

But both games rely on both of them.

Memorization on stages, with little luckshit for EoSD but still a lot for UFO. Massive luckshit on bosses.

And the hitboxes in both games completely suck.

Post by: Bananamatic on July 26, 2010, 12:15:20 AM
Okay...they don't "suck", it's just that EoSD puts you against larger hitboxes than you are used to which causes rage inducing deaths.

EoSD does have some memorization(well, even Cave shmups do), but the stupid amount of luck required...eh

the entire final boss fight is one huge dice roll. Same for Sakuya.

Post by: Chaotic Phoenixma on July 26, 2010, 12:23:23 AM
IIRC, I 1cc'd the first time I got to Scarlet Gensokyo, though I had a few Scarlet Meister game overs.

Sakuya isn't that much luck required outside Killing Doll and Eternal Meek, which I still call WTF was Zun thinking when he thought this was a good idea? Eternal Meek is still a lot of skill but it can easily give you something impossible as well.


And Remilia is pretty much luck. Do you clip something? Yound Gemon Lord, Vampire Illusion, Scarlet Gensokyo walling. Minor chance of walling elsewhere. Random boss movement. And lots of other stuff that can ruin a perfectly good run.

PCB can be borderbreaked and SakuyaBombed through

 ??? What do you mean?  I've been playing mostly PCB lately. This sounds like something I'd like to try. But are there really enough bombs to get you through the whole game on Lunatic? Sakuya doesn't seem very powerful (I usually play ReimuB). Which version of Sakuya is recommended for this?
Title: Re: Nobody Cares How Bad You Are at Touhou! (Accomplishments IX)
Post by: Chaotic Phoenixma on July 26, 2010, 12:38:16 AM
Either.

SakuyaB is better for scoring though, and the bombs last longer. But SakuyA can trivialize some things too. I should try it with SakuyA sometime and see how things compare.
Title: Re: Nobody Cares How Bad You Are at Touhou! (Accomplishments IX)
Post by: ebarrett on July 26, 2010, 12:46:48 AM
SakuyaA is horrible. Horrible. HORRIBLE. I remember when I was trying to first clear Extra: two dozen attempts with SakuyaA, never got anywhere, got annoyed, went back to normal mode and cleared it with SakuyaB in one attempt (I wasn't a consistent normal player at the time), then cleared extra in one attempt, then cleared Phantasm in my first attempt ever despite screwing up pretty much everything because really, what else could I do but flail around like an idiot whenever something was reasonably different from extra.

Yes, SakuyaB is THAT much better. SakuyaA is the worst shot in the game by a wide margin, maybe it's good for getting to stage three or four on normal but that's it.
Title: Re: Nobody Cares How Bad You Are at Touhou! (Accomplishments IX)
Post by: The Greatest Dog on July 26, 2010, 12:49:53 AM
SakuyaA has the sole advantage of being able to deal damage from pretty much anywhere on screen.

Other than that, she has the worst unfocused damage, cherry gain... Her focused shot doesn't keep up with moving enemies... Lots of bad stuff.
Title: Re: Nobody Cares How Bad You Are at Touhou! (Accomplishments IX)
Post by: Chaotic Phoenixma on July 26, 2010, 12:52:46 AM
There are a few worse shots than SakuyA.

Well, there's the obvious ReimuA.
And Marisa who just sucks at stages.

Pitiful damage. You're much better off not hitting 100% of the time with any other shot. And if you are getting pushed away from the bosses all the time, you should be playing at a lower difficulty and learning to, well, stay below bosses, along with probably a ton of other things.

Well, there's the obvious ReimuA.

Much more comfortable focused speed, and small hitbox. Probably still better than SakuyaA for the players who need homing shots, I'd say.

And Marisa who just sucks at stages.

No, unless "can't clear a stage without needing to learn a single thing about it" is the new "sucks". I mean, that's more or less on par with saying A-L is an inferior choice for DDP because it "sucks at stages"!
Title: Re: Nobody Cares How Bad You Are at Touhou! (Accomplishments IX)
Post by: Chaotic Phoenixma on July 26, 2010, 02:49:13 AM
It's not a case of saying that just because you have to learn stages means that they suck.

If it was, I'd be saying that anything other than Netherworld Team sucks in IN, anything other than MarisaB sucks in SA, and anything other than SanaeB sucks in UFO, but I don't.

Edit: and that's just the shottypes not considering bombing. With bombing, it goes up for some shottypes.


I just use C in DDP because I just want the 1-all. I do need to try out A and B though.

New personal best for PCB Stage 4 Lunatic. Perfected everything up to the second-to-last attack in the stage portion, my first time getting past the post-Lily White stuff without dying or breaking a border.

Also, finally recaptured Kogasa's last card on Lunatic. One shift in my strategy really made all the difference.

I have decided to go on Touhou break. I will not play Touhou in any capacity for at least a week, if not more (until Fairy Wars of course). My skills have atrophied terribly and need to recharge (because that's how it works).

For one last hurrah though, I decided to play LLS lunatic, but with Marisa. This was the first time using her in like a year, and I noticed I had never actually beaten it with Marisa B, making my boast of 1ccing with all shot types moot...

Well I solved that! It was a rather embarrassing run though, ending 0/2 with 10 deaths and 19 bombs. >.> The only things worth noting was that I was two dodges away from capturing Yuka's final phase and I did a badass dodge through Reimu's storm she fires during her streaming attacks to get into the safe zone.

memorization vs luckshit
here, the only way to win is to not play

The point is that in EoSD i can go in, completely blind, and collect all my resources long time before game over because all you need is a pretty low amount of score that can easily be gotten through picking up items. In UFO, i have seen proof that the only reason i haven't 1cc'ed yet is that i don't have a UFO route planned out.

Surely EoSD's rank system can have some pretty dreadful impacts on your play and sure Remilia can be quite a whore at times but UFO rapes those who haven't gotten everything down and planned out. There doesn't seem to be much room for improvisation if you want optimal resources. In EoSD, Stages 1-3 are basically not a threat but UFO is a threat from Stage 2 onwards.

One bomb near the end of the stage that could have been avoided had I remembered to move to the left instead of right, and one completely derpderpattention death on Four of a Kind. Also noted is the first time I've done Maze of Love the proper way in forever.

SA Stage 5 Hard perfect run! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=9618)

Oh my God, finally! At last, no deaths, bombs, gapping, or "pacifying" anything. And it wasn't even those two enclosed-streaming sections that were giving me trouble this whole time. "Small Demon's Revival" finally behaved and didn't utterly blindside me with anything.

I don't think anyone could understand just how important this one is for me, and I wonder how few will care considering how good some people are now. This took me half a year to get. I'll say it again, this took me HALF A YEAR to get. I can't tell you how relieved I feel.

Now that I'm putting more attention to SA Stage 5 Lunatic, got a 1D1B stage portion (bombed the Catwalk and died on 1st pellet hell). In addition, tried out Ten Evil Stars without using the safespot and only died once, early on too. Got used to the motions quickly after that. I was wondering if this card without the safespot would have be Utsuho's hardest, but I guess I was wrong.

that doesn't complain constantly or use the word "clipdeath".

Then at least find one that lasts more than 3 seconds!  :V.

On the other hand, its only just recently i realized this method. Back when i uploaded the perfect run i did something entirely different that's way more complicated. You just might get the hang of it one day.

Yes, it can be a counting game. It's possible to do it via sightread regardless, but some people (actually from what I've noticed, a lot of people are doing it subconsciously) find it easier to count waves and from that, determine whether or not to weave through the gap or wait.

no trick to Catwalk. 

There is on the Normal version, but that's because the bullets stay roughly in lines, making it possible to read ahead. On Lunatic, the pattern in which the shots are fired changes, but I have found it helpful on all difficulties to follow Orin until midscreen, then drop to the left and dodge through the remaining rings before they accelerate. Because the rings on the left side move first, you have more room to dodge the last few vertically. Staying in the bottom center like Kefit makes no sense, because Orin keeps moving and it's a lot more claustrophobic dodging.

Post by: Krimmydoodle on July 29, 2010, 03:24:20 AM

Not entirely true.  See here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dze6zKmRw3A#t=1m35s), by staying in the center, I get a good 3 seconds of focused fire on Orin (a lot of damage for this card) by staying in the center during the first wave.  This allows me to end the card before the second wave becomes threatening.  I won't argue against it being claustrophobic dodging, but I'd rather dodge one wave in the center than multiple from the sides.

Of course, this is with ReimuA at full power.  You won't end the card so quickly with less power or other characters, in which case you may as well go ahead and dodge from the sides.

If people makes videos of their accomplishments i'm much more likely to go watch it. its much easier than to have to download the replay, put it in the folder, in case of MoF having to make space for it, booting up the game and speeding through to the important parts in case its a timeout etc.

A youtube video is easily accessed through a link and you can even input a direct comment to the guy. Definitely a superior way of posting accomplishments. Especially because of how good quality we make them nowadays.

Oh and Funen1. If you actually pull through with a perfect Lunatic S5 run. You'll win my subscription. :)

Nice, I perfected the post-Momiji maze for the first time. I suddenly realized a way to make cutting back easier when playing the earlier counterpart, and managed to apply it after Momiji. And for the record, I did face the "full" version of it, since I ended up deathbombing Momiji's attack. Now a perfect stage portion seems feasible.

I spent about an hour today going through some scenes in DS and improving my score. How the freaking hell did I manage 370000 on 10-8? I can get  that with only three mediocre shots. Altogether I raised my score about a million points, to 25.5 million.

...Is this a game I actually like playing for score in? D8

Personally i got 500000 on my initial capture but that spell is... well.  >:(

IN Hard 1cc.
Why does it seems that IN Hard is harder than EoSD Hard and PCB Hard (and MoF hard but MoF Hard is :V) ?
Anyway, I suck at Reisen and Kaguya...and I manage to fail every single piece of last words because of the INEARLYGOTHITWHENKAGUYAEXPLODED-shock.

Now you'll call yourself a scrub for every other lunatic you don't do >=)

I just 1cc'd SA hard without even really trying. go figure. I tried like 6 times to do it, and I'd always fail at stage 4 or something.. This time I was all like "screw trying, just get past stage 4, bomb spam if you have to, yada yada, just so I can practice it"... I failed hard at stage 4 like I always do, reached stage 5 with only two lives..Ended up making a life thru stages 5 and 6 instead of losing them despite not even seeing most of that content!

How hard is Utsuho's rotation spellcard if you don't cheese the "safe vertical" spot? Looks pretty tough.

And is Utsuho's final 2 spellcards EASIER on hard than normal? sure seemed like it.

Irrelevant, because you simply will not be able to do the spell card without using that safespot. Go on and try, you will either fail miserably or will subconsciously always move to that vertical line to dodge the suns.

Surely SOME people have tried/done it. I mean sometimes I do Flan's laevatein spellcard without flying around her just for the fun of it.

I agree about Sakuya. She's indeed a broken shot type, but IMO not as broken as MoF's laser Marisa, that's pretty much the only one that's on the "doesn't count" list IMO.

See, that's different. The trick to trivializing Lavatein is something that is consciously done, and is completely different than the one for Ten Evil Stars in that you will come directly into the area where you'd safespot whether you want to or not. I've tried doing Ten Evil Stars without the safespot, and like I said I captured it by squeezing into the safespot line whenever the suns drew close.

More on topic, Banana actually said something useful?! I have saved my HRtP no bombs run and am working on it now. Technically it's not a "no bombs" run since I accidentally bombed twice, but the first bomb did absolutely nothing and the second only spared me one life, of which is no matter as I finished the game with multiple lives remaining.

Funny thing is, I kept being bluh at bombing fast and lost all 6 of my extra lives on Elis before bombing, after entering the battle with full lives/bombs ;P

Beating Sariel with only 1 life/bomb was fun. I actually did get another extend while fighting her, which I bet is kinda rare.

I hope this works out. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=9660) When you say "using the safespot" though, exactly how lenient are you? I have the feeling ZUN meant for the suns' hitboxes to be smaller to make the attack a bit more reasonable, though he obviously didn't notice the safebox it created (this assumes the safebox wasn't intentional, of course). I know I stayed along that line a couple of times in the process of circling around (because I knew I didn't need to move that far out of the way of each sun), but in my defense I don't think I was ever between two suns while along that line. My approach was more, dodge one sun at a reasonable distance, then dodge the second by moving behind the first, and repeat. But I guess you're the real judge of how well I did that.

Stage 2 is trivial like there was no tomorrow. If anything, you can memorize it. I usually just hang around the bottom corners and weave back and forth the bottom of the screen whenever enemies appear. Stage 5 has one difficult spot. If you can just bomb that you should be in the clear.

I have done Ten Evil Stars without safe-spotting too and so has Formless i'm pretty sure. Its not that its particularly hard to do but as Donut says; its something you do unconsciously because you know its possible.

I also got a million points on 11-8 in DS. Turns out the WR is 1.7 million. I could get something in the vicinity of that if i could just land those 300K shots everytime! :)

I can't because i suck though.

Noooo, it's good anyway. I don't see why we have to bring elitism into this. The guy just 1cc'd lunatic after trying for so long, stop trying to cheapen it. :|

Not at all. If any team is broken in IN it's the border team.

What? Trying for long at PCB? Really? That's totally easy!

That's probably how i sound. I didn't mean to. I apologize. I just meant to say to SenSageUn that he should try and get a clear with a forward-focus character of preference sometime. That just feels more right than barely scrubbing a 1cc through resource abuse. Trust me. I know about it. Until then, yes. He should feel happy.

With regards to IN Team.

Rather broken than worthless or memorization dependant. But all that is something people will disagree with so lets just say that i love the Marisa fight but find Reimu's fight pretty... bad. That boils the choice down to Border Team and Ghost Team. Ghost Team is like SA MarisaA. If you were unfocused as Yuyuko focused as Youmu they would be great but in order to keep any real damage up with Youmu you will have to hug the bottom to keep Myon aiming upwards. And it will make the stages much more complicated. As you will probably want to be focusing during boss fights you will have a very weak shot.

EDIT: Got 11-8 up to 1.1 million.

Bah. I just realized how many lolcaptures I have as replays in UFO. Two no-focus captures of Murasa's survival on Normal, a damn near perfect run of Byakuren while no-focus Normal except for one bomb. A perfect Normal Shou while focus-tapping to the music.

But about the Netherworld Team, if you actually try to use Youmu's shot unfocused and you get hit... Deathbomb and you get Yuyuko's Win Sign "Skip to Next Spellcard".

Although it still means having to go unfocused, meaning ridiculous Youmu speed and manipulating Myon. Aside from that, you do get the strongest shot and the strongest deathbomb.

And Youmu's regular bomb is stronger than her deathbomb.

But any regular bomb only takes one bomb.

vs
1 x 1300

If you only have one bomb left, it's probably better to use Yuyuko's deathbomb anyways.

Damn Merlin, I wasted 4 bombs on her opener.

I suppose I'm improving...

Of course, in doing this I realize that not only is the special Yukari boss fight unavailable if you lose even one life before stage 4, but you also lose out on your chance to play extra (which is what I REALLY want to be able to do, since extra Reimu looks like a lot of fun). Also Mima is a really annoying boss. Why do half her attacks involve spawning things on top of you?

If you're always winning with several lives in stock that's a sign you should be trying something harder instead of fooling around below your current level. Scoring, challenge runs, another game, whatever.

If you're not consistently winning with several lives in stock, then these are the flukes, not the 0/0 clears.

Actually I'm pretty sure the requirement for extra is that you have to 1cc with more or equal to three extra lives left. The first time you unlock extra 3 and the next clear let's you choose between extra 3 and extra 4.

And yeah, Mima's a bit of a bitch the first few times. She gets easier after you remember some of the surprise attacks though.

1cc'ing PCB on Normal feels like it's within my grasp, but I just can't seem to do it.

I keep getting blind-sided by bullets and dying without using all my bombs. I can barely counterbomb.

I remember my first 1st was with 5 lives at the start and YOU were like "hurr gtfo scrubface" =p. I only used one of them too, and it wasn't with a "broken shottype".

Hmmph =p.

Default lives is the only thing I think is important. I mean, how is it equal if you start with two more lives than everyone else?

About as equal as an extra bomb every life =p. Especially when one of the said lives were never even used.

You're just a hater cuz I'm white admit it!!!
Seriously though, for first times, just getting the good ending deserves SOME bragging rights IMO.

The Patchouli fight was also pretty fun, I got a 1D1B Fight! it was on Mercury Poison =D
Sucks though that I had to continue right as Eternal Meek was ending, but I am okay with that, all I wanted was to try Meiling on Hard, and it turned into a 2cc!

Some of them are indeed easier. It also helps that some of her attacks are very similar to Ran's, so if you've already spent the time learning the counterparts in Extra, you won't have to adjust too much for the Phantasm versions.

This one took some actual practice, but with a little memorization it turned out to be not that hard to 1cc. Stages 1-3 went perfectly; just one bomb for points. (lol points in a 1cc attempt)

Hey guys...

...I'm back!

From a month of no Touhou. Let's see how that screwed up my shmup career~

I'm playing with a skill level that has a wierd mix of normal, hard and lunatic. My reflexes have gotten better, but I can't read that easily anymore. Very good with bullet density, but bad with bullet speed. I panic bomb more nowadays.

This is the accomplishment thread, so what is the accomplishment?

-------------> Got up to Stage 6 Lunatic on SA

Yet I got trashed by Yuugi (Hard)

I still mess up most of the old spell cards, I still have the same old bad habits, but a very good rest seems to have done some good overall.

I'm so certain it's been less than a month, but okay.

As for me, I got a PoFV lunatic 1cc, AND got a replay to save without crashing.

And I swear it's not cheating. Just because it makes the game FUN (well, even then...) means Aya is no longer a valid choice apparently. Well I say poppycock! =^=

Ok, so I randomly started a UFO lunatic run, without any expectations. It was a little laggy as well, but I don't think that had a noteworthy effect on what happened. Anyways...

After being all  :derp: and losing 3 lives on stage one, I game over to the arrowhead fairies before midboss Ichirin. But on the way...

I captured Parasol Star Memories!

SanaeB, 3.xx power, btw. Does that trivialize the card too much, or can I still count it as an accomplishment?  :V
Title: Re: Nobody Cares How Bad You Are at Touhou! (Accomplishments IX)
Post by: Formless God on August 03, 2010, 03:27:43 PM
It just makes the card slightly easier. SanaeB (and MarisaB) destroy more parasols, so you have less ninja parasols and more metal fatigue bullets to deal with :getdown:

I don't even know where this belongs.

I just 1cc'd SA Lunatic.

The game crashed right after the fade to black.

Then again, I just 1cc'd SA Lunatic.

Then again, I have no replay to prove it. And any replays I get later can never really be one of my first 1cc.

SanaeB, 3.xx power, btw. Does that trivialize the card too much, or can I still count it as an accomplishment?  :V
3.xx doesn't trivialize it anywhere near as much as 4.00 does. However, some brain smarts during "PSM" with SanaeB at any power not named 1.xx potentially speaking can trivialize it to a similar extent. As to whether or not it's an accomplishment, well, that entirely depends on you  :V

(and MarisaB)
I wish. Potentially speaking, the damage done overall is approximately equal to that of ReimuA (in truth, it's just a little less) but the damage is spread out in a scope which obviously hurts you more in the long run. Then, if you really want to get into the nitty gritty details
MarisaB when unfocused doesn't cover her sides; thus making it more difficult to take out parasols approaching from the given direction. Don't even go into the rear options
.

8( I may have possibly found a breakthrough on King Kraken Strike, but just two runs isn't enough to draw a correlation.
I'll be waiting to see if you can draw the same conclusion from the correlation(s).

Post by: nintendonut888 on August 04, 2010, 01:16:40 AM
I have spent the last four hours playing Touhou, trying to do perfects. Over time after being thwarted again and again, I started getting a headache. My eyes unfocused, my heart continuously pounded, and I was literally rambling like a madman.

Yet I didn't stop.

I went for Ichirin, then Murasa, then Murasa again, then I tried Murasa a bit more, and that fucking unfair third non-spell thwarted every attempt, except for the 1DNB that was caused by Sinkable Vortex.

Yet I didn't stop.

Then I went for Reimu, who I've had my eyes on a perfect for ages. Every attempt thwarted at either Fantasy Seal Spread or Fantasy Seal Dark, except for the ones by Demon Binding Ring. Loss after loss after loss.

Yet I didn't stop.

Eventually, when my eyes were unfocused and I was giving up on trying to perfect the stage along with Reimu (since I have it pretty well down) and I was calmly humming Kiss Me Sweet (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYxsN-XyynA) while the intense music was playing, I came to realize: THIS was why I got into Touhou, and why I'm still playing two and a half years later. Few games can cause such frustration and yet are able to keep stringing me along. I love Touhou because it hates me. The rut I've been in since I perfected Kaguya was because I started expecting to get anywhere on a run. My standards rose too high. Spending an entire day playing the same stage, with the faint hope that the one run that will justify so many hours of playing will happen, such days have become too seldom. This is why I love this series.

Just then, I perfected Reimu. And I am still grinning. No replay, since I did the stage badly. And no, I didn't capture Blink. Screw you if you think that matters, because that's not the point.

^_^

You mean "Young Demon Lord"? (Perhaps confusing with Orin's "Small Demon's Revival"?) I find it easiest if you stay as low on the screen as possible, so that the gaps between the bullets are bigger. Other than that, it's just (relatively easy) reading and dodging.

On Hard, anyway. No clue about Lunatic.

EoSD Hard 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=9697) Started with 5 lives but at no point in the game I went below 2 lives in stock, so it should count. Multiple problems with this one: Dying twice consecutively to Sakuya's midboss non-spell because I have no idea what the timing was at very low ranks; failing Mercury Poison (*headdesk*), bombing Eternal Meek (which I capture most of the time)... Went in Scarlet Gensokyo with 2 lives and no bombs left (= no lives and no bombs left) and managed to capture it for the win, so I guess that sort of made up for it.

Left (once or twice), then right continuously.

For comparison, I'd put her into the "low" tier. ReimuA is would be in the "mid" tier (and dealing damage quickly enough to boot), MarisaA and 4.00!SanaeB would be on the "high / god" tier so to speak.

FINALLY perfected the Prismriver sisters. A combination of the stage being way too long to grind, Lyrica's opener at max rank (solved by suiciding several times before the boss fight), and random walls on Concerto Grosso have kept this from happening sooner. That's two (or four if you want to get technical) bosses off my one mistake list. Now I only have The Magic Stones, Yuka, Mugetu/Gengetu, Sakuya, Remilia, Kanako, Suwako, Satori, Orin, Utsuho, MURASAAAA, and Shou taunting me.






EDIT: Just did a MS lunatic 1cc with Mima (who I hadn't played for a while). I got up to Yumeko 5/0 (with one more extend coming), finished the game 0/0. :B I blame this on her short bomb and Shinki bug killing me despite me not shooting or being near her. ??? I am really curious as to what causes the bug, but I wonder if being Mima has anything to do with it. I don't remember it ever happening when I use Yuka.

The reason this is in the accomplishments thread is that I captured Yumeko's rape laser phase. I used Baity's supa secret never made public ultra mega happy strategy, and lo and behold it worked.

1cc PCB Lunatic!

You should have went with Reimu. Then suiciding would be "unnecessary". (I'm sure that attack is capturable at max rank. My Marisa handling sucks though so i haven't checked.) Also congrats on Reimu even though you didn't get Blink. That sucks anyway.

If you're always winning with several lives in stock that's a sign you should be trying something harder instead of fooling around below your current level. Scoring, challenge runs, another game, whatever.

If you're not consistently winning with several lives in stock, then these are the flukes, not the 0/0 clears.

Maybe some challenge runs would be a good idea. Scoring beyond capturing spellcards/item collection takes memorization and currently there is no other Touhou games for me to do. Besides Mystic Square. Maybe i should go do that one. Right now, i'm most anticipating ZUN's next game in the series.

And the only game i don't clear with a bunch of additional lives is EoSD. Less resources and me who sucks at EoSD Bubbles.

Yeah seriously. Hurry up and do MS and UFO, both great games.

Murasa perfect~ 40 tries later, I realize what an idiot I am and how to make the third non-spell less painful. Once I did that, figured out why I kept dying on the second non-spell (reason: I'm an idiot), and learned to stop thinking rationally on Sinkable Vortex, I pulled it off despite screwing up Dipper Creeping Close.

http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=9705 The stage is rather embarrassing, but it feels great to do three long-awaited perfects in the span of 24 hours.

I played through all the stages in MoF individually today. I got a 1DNB on stage 6, screwing up on VoWG as usual. Considering the slump I've been in the past few weeks, I'll take this as an accomplishment. Besides, I'm no good at VoWG. Me perfecting Kanako is a pipe dream until that changes.

Holy crap, UFO Lunatic clear. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=9706) (of course I continue-spammed through it, what are you crazy?)

This is what happens when I get really bored and want "new" danmaku. Only took about three hours to get through the whole thing, if that means anything, and like on Hard, I spent way more time on Byakuren than Shou because of LFS. I'm just glad I got this done before I would have needed to shut down for the night and grind everything again later.

You put your sweet time into every single game in the series except Mystic Square?

BURN THE HERETIC

It stems from some bias towards the game after getting infuriated over MS Extra a long while ago. I have been entertained enough by playing Mystic Square though and it seems i'm pretty able at it. I should be able to get myself a 1cc. Thank goodness Yumeko is so short because i really can't seem to do well at her at all. My record is ND2B.

perfecting just randomly happen

Shut up. Perfecting bosses = awesome.
Danish women sucks anyway.

Yeah seriously. Hurry up and do MS and UFO, both great games.

Refer to my Youtube channel XD.

Everything that game does makes me angry in one way or another. I'm having fun playing other Touhou games. Win or fail. But UFO is held down for by boring stages (only stage 4 is fun) and bosses with gimmicks i hate. Except Extra mode. Nue's final attack is glorious. At least i find it fun.

MS have none of that however. Neither does any other Touhou game imo.

I beat MoF extra using ReimuA. I got to the survival card for the first time on my first attempt, so I decided to keep trying. One of the runs I captured froggy braves the elements (timing out shizuha on lunatic is harder) and another one I captured snake eats the frog due to the croak on 0 power (Ha ha, old chap! bombspamming everything).

Welp, UFO Hard 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=9712)

Chaining obviously wasn't perfect, but the mistakes hardly mattered. This run really felt more like a mix of using UFOs and just plain knowing the danmaku, rather than using mostly UFOs and bombs, and all that stage practice helped me to finish 3/0 (though I think one life fragment I missed in Stage 4 would have given me another life; oh well).

Now if Aya wasn't such a shitty fight, then maybe I could have no death runs of all MoF stages. Same for Reimu and Eirin on IN.

Maybe I should go after Yuyuko next as I have gotten close to no deaths on her before.

Post by: Chaotic Phoenixma on August 08, 2010, 11:19:38 PM
I think it's slightly over 3,000. Could be wrong. This is assuming a near timeout though.


Also, what's your progress on VoWG?

My best is a few 3DNB timeouts. My best for survival before a death was 41 seconds on the timer(this ended up a 5DNB timeout  :blush: )


What's the exact timer on VoWG anyway? I'm not sure how many seconds of survival that was.
Title: Re: Nobody Cares How Good You Are at Touhou! (Accomplishments IX)
Post by: Krimmydoodle on August 08, 2010, 11:28:27 PM
VoWG runs for 2:30 starting from the visual splash that occurs when the card is declared.  Since it takes a bit of time to start up, the actual amount of dodging time is closer to 2:23 if you want to get technical (the first red wave starts flying past you around 7 seconds in).

I believe UKT's latest world record shows him getting around 4000, as he doesn't stay precisely under Satori for most of it (a bit to the right of her is apparently more productive). I'm still practicing getting into this position consistently, but I've gotten to it a few times and matched the graze count (I paid attention these other times).

Okay, not that fast but still

1cc'd Phantasmagoria of Flower View on Lunatic. Shikieiki only lasted 1 minute and 18 seconds. I've never had that happen to me. Luckily though because i had been subjected to a serious amount of cheating in Medicine's fight. I knew it would slow down my movement but damn!!!

Almost feels like Phantasmagoria lets you keep going until it decides that you need to die and dumps a pattern the speed of Kaguya's third last-spell with the randomness of Eternal Meek and the bullet density of Good Omen just to say: USE A BOMB OR DIE!

Lowest number of deaths: 2


I really need to stop screwing up the dodging. My fails are mostly because I can't dodge, not because I can't read it.

Exactly. The AI is just too stupid to stream. That isn't a glitch despite what you want us to think. Now, that Medicine thing is definitely a glitch.

You're comparing apples and oranges. You're comparing the characteristic trait of a Shot Type being intentionally made strong (Border Team, SA!ReimuA, et al.) to something that isn't intentional (Aya's LIGHTSPEED BAWLS ending matches in approximately half the time, Medi-chan's field of halp how do i dodged boolet). Also see: MoF!MarisaB.

Also, do keep in mind that the AI doesn't know how to stream.

...if this is going to be continually discussed then I'd probably recommend breaking this off to a new thread.

Also, SakuyaA?? Last I heard from various people, SakuyaA was terribad.
Title: Re: Nobody Cares How Bad You Are at Touhou! (Accomplishments IX)
Post by: theshirn on August 09, 2010, 10:07:13 PM
SakuyaA is the easiest shottype to 1cc with for a newbie.  The full-screen spread unfocused and full focus fire mean you don't have to learn anything but dodging (no movement patterns, no following the boss, etc.), and the four bombs per life are just lolwhat.

Also see: MoF!MarisaB.
Well no, that's an actual glitch.

There is no consistency to how long the AI can survive as far as i know. But i was also more speaking about the gameplay itself. I lost a life to Komachi as she appeared on my screen at the same time as Lily White and literally filled the screen with so many bullets that death was pretty much unavoidable.

Oh really? I find the Netherworld Team absolutely terrible. The stages will suddenly start taking memorization because of unwieldy unfocused shot and a very weak focus shot makes bosses take a hundred years. But its mostly because of stages.

I want a shot that gives me able to move around the screen unfocused. Youmu just seems to fall apart if she isn't following a planned out route.

You just use Spread Shot nearly the entire time and you barely have to dodge anything unlike every other team.

Bleh.

Phantasm Romance really does thwart me at every turn. I decided to do one more run through after deleting the "setcontinueamountallowed" line from stage 6 to see if that removed the extra continue limit, and you know what happened? Do. You. Know. What. Happened?

I 1CC'D AND WENT TO EXTRA 4 ANYWAY.

>_>

Thankfully, for all the complaining it's taken to get there, extra 4 is a pretty cool stage. I made it all the way to Reimu and got to I think her fourth spell card. As expected, the game didn't let me continue. Putting a long extra stage at the end of a 30 minute game is just too much. :(

Anything that's hard to collect with them would be hard to collect with the others.

Youmu's movement speed is way faster than Reimu's so naturally Reimu will have an easier time going up the screen unfocused and weaving through the enemy bullets. With Youmu bodyslamming into a bullet is more likely.

This could go in either of the three main threads, but I'll post it here because I am optimistic.  :V

It seems I am starting to warm up to PCB lunatic, what with never having played it on lunatic before and all that. After several tries that were quite fruitless, just now I had my first run where I got past Alice. I game over'd on midboss Youmu.

Now, here's the cruncher: I played comparatively really well throughtout the game, especially during the beginning. However, I died twice to Lily white.
Think that's bad? I died three times to Benevolent Orleans Dolls.

If it weren't for these, I might even have 1cc'd that thing, seeing as stage 6 is the only stage I have some experience with.  :colonveeplusalpha:

Indeed. Memorization-dependant segments sucks. Border Team kills it which makes them awesome.

Yeah, all Yuyuko can do is cover the entire screen with death butterflies.

I am happy (kinda...) to say that I beat Perfect Cherry Blossom (but got the bad ending; too many moments of me thinking that I could deathbomb and missing the timing. Or slamming head-first into a fairy while grabbing a dropped power item. :| )!

Gonna try to get the good ending (1cc, right?) later today!

BAAAAAW

2cc IN Lunatic with Border Team. I can maybe do this if I can stop sucking at the stages. I still think that the Netherworld Team is just as good, though perhaps not better. Though it seems they have more potential than the Border.

I mean, for the Netherworld Team, you've got faster unfocused speed, the strongest unfocused shot, the second strongest bomb regardless of distance... Yuyuko's death butterflies kill virtually all stage enemies regardless of where you're at, giving you more freedom and damage output than Ran can.

Actually, thinking about it, Youmu is like a stronger, harder to control human Yukari, and Yuyuko is a weaker, though easier to use in stages, youkai Reimu (including a deathbomb that's twice as strong).

On the other hand, Border Team gives Reimu a stable power and an easily controllable speed. Her bomb doesn't suck, and her deathbomb is among the strongest. Yukari has amongst the most reliable focused shot that you can occasionally manipulate to kill stage enemies in multiple locations. And if you get hit and deathbomb... You get Reimu's fury. The smaller hitbox only really seems to matter in IN Extra at the deathfairy, and the not getting hit by familiars part is only applicable to Astronomical Entombing, Xu-Fu's Dimension, Shoot the Moon, so...

IN lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=9753), 4 lives remaining. Of special note in this run was the godawful trainwreck on stage 6, wherein I somehow manage to die or deathbomb on every spellcard (yes, even Salamander Shield). This should change now that I can actually practice the stage.

With the wonders of stage practice, the coveted extra stage 4 of Phantasm Romance has been cleared. Even with 8 lives the fight is rather ow (at least in part because even Reimu's non-spells have spell card armor). The last two spell cards in particular took half of the lives lost. That last spell card doesn't look hard, but its length makes it very hard to capture.

I stopped caring about capturing VoWG after the first. I'm still at 1 capture. I could probably have about 10-15 higher considering failed timeout attempts that lived long enough that it could have been a capture. But I stopped trying to capture it after the first to try timeouts and no death runs of the stage, both which generally involve dying/bombing to it.


Not even to going to try that on EoSD Extra. I don't even consistently clear that stage.

I usually go for the capture first but if i mess up i go for the time out. When i did my NDNB timeout it was one of the few times i decided not to shoot at all.

If you're talking about the one with the yin-yang orbs, the yellow/orange bullets are aimed away from your current position when they are fired. Of course, the yin yang orbs have a tendency to force you to move out of that location and make the attack a huge headache. Congrats.

Played LLS extra for fun. Haven't played in ages, so I just held down the shot button.
"Okay, I guess this one doesn't have focus..."
Cleared it on second attempt.

Reconfigued Anex, tried again...hey, maybe the shift button does something...

Yes, I cleared LLS Extra no focus...without realizing it.

Easy 1cc my first try of Fairy Wars (route a, we'll probably need to figure out a complicated shorthand to keep track of our route :V), game over on the same route on normal on stage 3. I think I may grow to like this game very much. :)
Title: Re: Nobody Cares How Bad You Are at Touhou! (Accomplishments IX)
Post by: Krimmydoodle on August 14, 2010, 09:15:39 AM
I think the game itself has its own shorthand for your route, A/B/C for your first stage, 1/2 for your second stage.  (I'm under the assumption that there's only three stages, but I have yet to 1cc the game, mainly because I'm too fucking stubborn for Easy.)
Title: Re: Nobody Cares How Bad You Are at Touhou! (Accomplishments IX)
Post by: nintendonut888 on August 14, 2010, 09:34:35 AM
That may be. So for example, starting on Route A and taking the second option would be shorthand as A2, starting on route C and taking the first option would be C1, etc. I think we can work with that.

So in essence, this game rocks. There's no other words for it. I just failed to 1cc A2 on normal because I got firewall'd on the last spell card, mostly because I'm still getting the hang for the extend system and the freeze system in general. I'm not even sure what the different routes do differently, but since the game has 250 spell cards, I imagine they all have a different spell card set.

I can't wait until this is all translated so I can really go nuts. ^_^

Post by: Krimmydoodle on August 14, 2010, 09:49:11 AM
Finally got the 1cc on Normal B2, which seemed like it pulled easier spellcards than B1, C1, and A2 (A1 was my first attempt, so I won't compare it).  Either that or I'm just getting somewhat of a hang of how to play this right.  Ended up 4 lives to the second to last card due to firewall, which I found hilarious.

I'm probably going to work out the rest of the Normal 1ccs before moving up.  Lunatic frightens me.

On second thought, I think I'm getting somewhat of a hang of how to play this right.  C2 1cc with 5 lives in stock this time (previous run on B2 ended 0/0).

Post by: Sapz on August 14, 2010, 11:20:49 AM
First hour of playing; Easy 1cc first attempt, Normal 1cc third attempt (both A1, though it was my first try of A1 on Normal). No idea how to unlock Extra, though.

This is fun stuff... looks like it'd be awesome to play for score, too. No grazing involved here, right?
Title: Re: Nobody Cares How Bad You Are at Touhou! (Accomplishments IX)
Post by: Krimmydoodle on August 14, 2010, 11:22:51 AM
Grazing gives a significant boost to your charge meter, so there's grazing involved, though I don't see it acting as a point multiplier in this game.

One more Normal 1cc left (C1).  Hopefully this'll unlock Extra.

Edit: yeah, 1ccing all 6 routes unlocked Extra (it's all the same Extra, just accessible from any difficulty menu).  This was on Normal, so I don't know if it can be unlocked on Easy.

Tried Extra and managed to reach
Marisa
with 0/0 stock.  This'll take some learning to do properly.

Post by: Helix ⑨ on August 14, 2010, 02:14:13 PM
I jumped straight into normal, gave a shot at each route and then focussing on 1cc'ing them one by one. (so far 3cc is my best lol...)

IMO (on normal) Stage A and then sunny milk (I don't know if it's route 1 or 2) seems the easiest. Cause sunny in stage 2 is a lot more doable than 3 and star in stage 3 isn't that hard.

I've 1cc'd A1, A2, and C1 so far. Think I'll do the other 3 tomorrow (hopefully). It's pretty fun so far, though normal is surprisingly challenging at times. I especially have trouble when the fairy with the aimed attacks is the main of the boss trio. I'm really curious as to what this looks like on Lunatic, but I'll stay put for now.

Maybe if he went and tried doing the game no freeze scratch that I don't want to tempt him.

Also, by Donut request, I'll go ahead and upload the Extra clear to YouTube, even though in the time it takes for me to actually do that he can watch Jaimers' superior replay multiple times over.

Before that, gensokyo.org upload (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=9804)



Wait, you can finish with 7 lives remaining?  I assumed you were just supposed to take the last attack like a stubborn baka and finish out with no lives.

Oh, hah, I see it now.  Well, I still think just sitting in the center and being stubborn about it is the superior way to go, both because it's effective for damage (as long as you don't die) and because it's more in character with how Cirno would tackle it.

If you have no lives left and aren't close to an extend, then maybe so. Otherwise it'd be better to have the insurance of your extra lives.

I generally don't like stuff where it's "bomb or die", but it's not like you have to actually bomb, you're still running a lot of risk in a lot of the patterns even if you do use your freeze (mainly on 2/3 since fire and/or lasers), and using it incorrectly generally spells your death.

I'm just happy to have 1cc'd B-1 Route on Normal.  That was definitely the hardest one for me when I was just clearing them by force, so the remaining ones should be easy.

I too finally managed a B1 1cc. It's been, like, almost a DAY since the game came out and I hadn't unlocked extra yet, what a disgrace. :V I've heard fun things about
Marisa
, so I'm looking forward to it.

Also, I was in a way relieved to see Reimu in the ending. For a while there I was worried this would be the first thing of, well, anything in the official canon to not have Reimu in them (well, I suppose the Renko/Maribel stories excluded her, but those take place in the future, so...).

For the experts, is a no freeze normal 1cc (any route) looking feasible? I'm having quite a bit of trouble even on easy, though at least route A1 looks to be in reach. Having power/bombs tied to freezing bullets makes this unnecessarily difficult.

Welp, I can assure you it's unfathomably difficult on lunatic. I would know. I may drop down to lower difficulties and try it out though, I'll see if I can get anywhere with it. Oh, I'm also going for no bombs, since that counts as freezing.

I couldn't get it to work. Since freezing is done by holding the shot button it's impossible to not shoot at all and still freeze stuff. That earned me silver. I also tried timing a card out in the corner and freezing stuff but that only got me bronze.

Post by: ARF on August 15, 2010, 12:26:28 PM
You max out at 3 bombs, so using them when you are close to reaching 300% on strategic places might benefit score, but  not if you're gonna need them for survival anyways.

On A-2... How can you get a gold medal on the second boss spell card (I can't tell Sunny and Luna apart)  where she fires big expanding rings of very dense bullets. Seems almost impossible and this is on normal.

edit: well it's not THAT hard I guess. I tried it on lunatic and could get a few waves.

Just had a GFW Extra run where I used no bombs/lost no lives all the way up to

Some days ago I started to feel like I should finally do the Lunatics, with all my arcade shmup experience I should be skilled enough for that. EoSD was the first in line and was surprisingly tricky. How hard is it generally considered among the Lunatics?

First five stages went really well. Remilia on the other hand went horribly, but luckily I had 4 extra lives to waste there.

GFW Lunatic 1cc (route A-1). (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=9893)

I'm fucking shaking right now. That was way too close for comfort. Doesn't help that, once again, most of my deaths occurred because I got hit just before I released the freeze button. Why the hell is this plaguing me so much?

Happens to me all the time. It's like I treat it as a deathbomb or something. Congratulations on the 1cc, in any case! Have you considered posting your score (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,6867.0.html)?

Quote from: This Thread, Recently
Extra, Lunatic, Hard, Normal and Easy clears, various other stuff, etc.

Congratulations to all! So many accomplishments I can't really devote a "congratulations" to each one, but I've certainly read and acknowledged them all :V

I was fighting some pretty lame random lag from Stage 5 on, it'd jump from like 60->20->15->60->30->60->etc fps every few seconds randomly and settle for a bit before jumping again, I'm not sure if it made things harder or easier BUT WHATEVER I BEAT IT SO HOORAY.

GREAT FAIRY WARS LUNATIC 1CC FINALLY (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=9900)

Been working on this since the game came out, jesus I'm slow (I've never actually played anything but Lunatic in this game, actually...) It's the A-2 route, first Lunatic 1cc of that route in the West, I believe. The battle against the three fairies was hilariously bad, my dad kept yelling at me to go get Chinese takeout, causing me to fail like half the stuff I usually Silver Medal. >_>

Now to unlock Extra!

You'd be surprised with Phantasm.
Granted, there are some things to learn (stage - extra enemies, cards are different, etc),
but quite a few of Yukari's cards are easier than Ran's version.

I was extremely inconsistent with extra before.
Then, on my 4th try with phantasm, I made it to the 8th card while entering Yukari 1/0.
I was still inconsistent though, until I discovered the vsync patch and beat Yukari a few days after.
Now it's quite effortless to beat phantasm for me, much like Mokou(!).

As for myself, i played a bit of GFW. A bit. Its not really the game for me but i have managed to get a Lunatic 1cc after just two attempts not counting restarts to get Stage 1 right.

Tried to continue feed UFO Lunatic.

Clear the first 2 stageswith ReimuB without continuing despite stupid stuff like dying to Nazrin and some other stuff. I still don't get Kogasa's first and third boss cards.
Continue a few times to get by Ichirin
Stsge 4 took just 2 tries, and that was because I left Ichirin at 0/0
Stage 5 was cleared first attempt

I ended up ragequitting on Byakuren though.

Post by: Chaotic Phoenixma on August 21, 2010, 02:49:17 PM
How do you get that many bombs with ReimuB?

I was only able to get like 4 max. And then I still ended up bombing midboss Nue some. Only captured one of Byakuren's cards before quitting due to the clipdeaths throughout the fight, Nirvana's Cloudy Way in Purple.
Title: Re: Nobody Cares How Bad You Are at Touhou! (Accomplishments IX)
Post by: ふねん1 on August 21, 2010, 03:30:58 PM
"Bombing everything" would work against Byakuren, if Superhuman and LFS weren't in the way. From what I remember, Byakuren doesn't take any extra bomb damage during Superhuman, and LFS is a final card, so yeah. Byakuren took way longer than Shou for me the first time, and I blame those two cards.

Enigma, I believe there's enough tokens to supply 4 large UFOs. A bomb might be needed to summon the second, but at least ReimuB has greater speed when bombing to help collection. If you use that one bomb, you'll have 6.33 for Nue. Speaking of which, I want to say each wave of hers is a randomly-oriented static pattern. Learning how to do them without bombing will help you tremendously against Byakuren (namely, more opportunities to bomb the harder stuff).
Title: Re: Nobody Cares How Bad You Are at Touhou! (Accomplishments IX)
Post by: MTSranger on August 21, 2010, 04:49:34 PM
To credit feed Byakuren:
1. learn how to capture: Nue, her 1st non spell, her 2nd non spell, her 2nd spell
2. make sure you summon 4 large green UFO to collect bombs
3. bomb Byakuren, except for a couple of attacks where you can capture
4. enter Superhuman with 2/1, don't die more than once here
5. time out LFO, bomb spam last 30 seconds

Am I the only one who doesn't find it THAT hard? Sure, it sometimes makes me screw up and I'd autobomb it on a real run, but it's nowhere as high on the dick level as some other stuff.
Title: Re: Nobody Cares How Bad You Are at Touhou! (Accomplishments IX)
Post by: nintendonut888 on August 21, 2010, 07:03:05 PM
Byakuren's second non-spell is a killer for sure, but it's one that I always attempt. It's a stressful attack due to the random nature, but if you think about it it's just forcing you to stream faster through the bullets.

Also a tip for both creditfeeding and for 1ccing: When you bomb LFO, don't just stand there. The waves shot out are aimed at your position. If you use your invincibility time to move high up the screen, you can stall the waves coming down and give you more time to damage Byakuren.

Didn't necessarily get too much closer to perfecting SA Stage 5 Lunatic, but I did get to try out a modified method for pellet hell #1, and it's giving me a bit more success there. Felt fun practicing that stage again after some time away from it.

Also had a 1DNB SA Stage 4 Lunatic run, on my first try in a while here too. What's great is I captured DBDB, and the death on FIN was a pretty clear mistake on my part. A perfect run feels pretty close.

Boy, Fairy Wars is brutal on every route not named A1. X_X The closest I've gotten to 1ccing another one on lunatic is C1, where I reached the 3 fairies.

But! While realizing Drake's ranking of the routes is either horribly off or inaccurate for lunatic and credit feeding C2, I captured Fairy Overdrive! Granted, in Sunny's version she never aims to collide with you, but shut up, it's a capture!

Yeah, that was definitely a lot easier than EoSD. I think this was only like my 5th serious attempt after some creditfeed runs to familiarize myself with the Lunatic attacks. This run was pretty ugly with lots of bombspamming and stupidity, but apparently it was still enough to clear the game.

Yes but i'm only interested in that which realistically can be done without the freezing gimmick. I have seen that some spellcards are plausible to handle this way while requires freezing which i'm not a fan of. Its pretty much equal to an attack that requires you to break a cherry border or use a bomb to me.

15 different bosses in the same difficulty. Compared to 6 in SA, 4 in EoSD.

Quality over quantity. I had hoped for 15 different bosses for me to play around with but as it turns out not only is there no practice mode. The bosses doesn't seem possible to perfect either. Lack of practice mode isn't really a problem as much practice isn't necessarily needed but it makes challenges runs more time consuming. A timeout of a spellcard, a perfection of a boss, that stuff. Then again, its not like most, if any bosses, is even possible to perfect on Lunatic mode.

Not intending but rant on the game. Perfecting bosses and timing out spellcards is just my main activity in the Touhou games and this game doesn't really allow much of that.

It's pointless to try and play Fairy Wars without freezing. I admit I was skeptical too of a Touhou game that was made around a bullet-canceling system, but you have to judge the game by different standards. If this happened in a main series game, I'd be pretty pissed, but this is a cute sidetrack. The game simply does not work without Cirno's skill. I believe ZUN said it himself in that stream a while back:

Guy: I've heard rumors that players are trying to clear the game without freezing.

ZUN: Fairy Wars without freezing is...trash.

Bah. It's the same as Double Spoiler and Shoot the Bullet. Nobody complained about bullet cancelling in those dot-fives.

Because you can't expect to kill anybody without taking pictures of them. :V

You certainly also can't expect to kill much without freezing.

Post by: nintendonut888 on August 25, 2010, 01:35:23 AM
Exactly. When it's the central mechanic in the game, stuff like freezing or photography is no problem. What bugs me is in games like Daifukkatsu that have normal shots and most things reasonable without resorting to bullet canceling, but it's there anyway.

So I captured VoWG twice in a row, and am in the middle of developing a way to make Kanako's opener more manageable. Am I just an idiot in never thinking that moving up to give yourself some space to move back down during the hard parts of the attack was a good idea?

Sadly I still failed to get the perfect because VoWG made up for me capturing it twice by killing me twice in one run. :'(

EDIT: Tested it again, and while it does increase survivability, it certainly doesn't trivialize it at all.

StB/DS and GFW use the gimmicks as an excuse to give you undodgeable attacks that would be unacceptable in any other game.

I also didn't like all the memorization in StB and DS either.

I still managed to get to Level 9 in StB and Hatate unlocked in DS, but I doubt I'll play either of those 2 again or if I do not that much. I also didn't mind freezing as much in GFW until I found that the majority of your score is actually clear bonus. I still plan to clear Extra in GFW though and maybe A-1 Lunatic.

First stab at VoWG in a while, got a time-out attempt down to 3 deaths, a personal best. Of course all subsequent runs were terribad.

Almost forgot, finally mustered the patience to clear IN Lunatic (with continues obviously). I still find this game boring as hell.

StB/DS and GFW use the gimmicks as an excuse to give you undodgeable attacks that would be unacceptable in any other game.

Eh, no. They have attacks undodgeable in the regular way to make their gimmicks the core part of the gameplay. Really, if you do a game with bullet canceling, you should design the whole game around that mechanic or otherwise it'll just be a gimmick. It's easy to see that pretty much every pattern in GFW is designed with chain freezing in mind. Of course you can also try to play the game without freezing, but because the game isn't designed for that, it will probably feel wrong because you're playing it wrong.

Zengeku's comparison with bombing doesn't work either, because the main series games usually discourage bombing by making it hurt your score. Freezing in GFW on the other hand is actively encouraged as it gives score (and lives and power and bombs and everything).

EDIT: I would rather compare no freeze GFW to not shooting in regular games. It's an optional challenge to not use your main weapon and it'll probably be pretty much impossible to survive some parts because you're not using all the intended ways to survive.

I didn't because the games were a hundred times better imo.

I also didn't like all the memorization in StB and DS either.

I wouldn't really call it memorization that much. General memorization in shmups needs remember exactly how you are going to do things well in advance or you won't be able to suceed at least not without dropping a bomb or dying. Unless you get lucky or is just unrealistically good.

In StB and DS i find it to be more a puzzle game than a shooting game. You pick your challenge from a list and if you fail it you can instantly retry it and keep at it until you figure out how to do it and then ultimately manage to pull it off. Understandibly this kind of gameplay can be unappealing to some but i wouldn't compare it to the main shmups in terms of memorization.

Mountain of Faith Lunatic 1cc!

Replay. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10013)

But the highlights of the run were... Well, I bombed a lot. But it was still fun, and I almost captured VoWG. Dammit ZUN, I want invulnerability while the bosses explode.

Why is it that people use ReimuB so much? Is it because people are just comfortable with Needle Reimu usually being the strongest? It's just that MarisaC has so much more versatility... Especially against bosses that don't usually move (Kanako... Aya... Suwako...)

Mountain of Faith Lunatic 1cc!

Judging on your score it wasn't half-bad for an initial Lunatic 1cc of the best Touhou game ever made. Congratulations.

Oh and people use ReimuB because she got quite awesome firepower. Marisa may have so too but movement speed is an important factor as well.
Title: Re: Nobody Cares How Bad You Are at Touhou! (Accomplishments IX)
Post by: The Greatest Dog on August 25, 2010, 09:27:58 PM
If I recall correctly, they both have the same focused speed in MoF onwards. The speed difference is that Marisa moves 5 pixels per frame unfocused while Reimu goes 4.5.

However, having a +1 pixel hitbox makes Sanae's midboss card and Kanako's second card unbearable.

But I also enjoy the stronger bomb. And oh god she can be overpowered during the final and extra stage if you know how to do it.

Edit: also, a 6/40 history in VoWG as of yet. I've got plenty of practice in stage six under my belt. 30/74 (!) history of Sanae's midboss card, but 12/38 history of Bright Night Guest Stars. Granted, now that I know how to do it, it's easy, but still...

The problem with StB/DS is that once you've played through everything ... there's nothing else to see. I cleared DS with Aya and haven't bothered to do a Hatate run or even touch the game again since. GFW is like StB/DS with stages routes so it has more replayability value.

Isn't there, like, proof by hacking the game that Marisa's hitbox is bigger? You can certainly tell the difference when you use Marisa/Sanae and then use Reimu.
Title: Re: Nobody Cares How Bad You Are at Touhou! (Accomplishments IX)
Post by: The Greatest Dog on August 26, 2010, 12:14:54 AM
Reimu's diameter is 4 pixels.
Sanae's is 4.5.
Marisa's is 5.

Simple as that. Sanae and Reimu also share the same movement speed unfocused (4.5 pixels per frame), while Marisa travels five.

They're talking about Mountain of Faith, you dorks.  Read the thread. The image for the hitbox doesn't change with hitbox area either, so comparing the images is useless.

Reimu's diameter is 4 pixels.
Sanae's is 4.5.
Marisa's is 5.

Where are you getting your info? As far as I know it's...
Reimu -> 2
Sanae -> 3
Marisa -> 3.5

Dunno if you are aware of this but redirecting the fists in her final spellcard is really helpful. Move up a bit when the fists are about to strike and redirect them there so you can dodge freely at the bottom.

Her second card is a matter of getting into the pattern at which point it isn't even that bad a card at all. KKS just sucks though.

I don't really know. One day I played stage 6 practice again after a long time, and suddenly the attack seemed really easy by comparison. Now, the timeout was still a bitch, but that is only because, unlike with the short duration the attack usually has, it is pretty much impossible to not blink for a span of 70 seconds. <.<

Also, I did the timeout novert. I always do her opener novert. Why would I even want to use vertical movement if the gaps are so large anyways? The attack is simply fast, which means you need to react fast, which is easier if you have to concentrate on only one dimension of movement. That is my opinion, anyways.

Aah, I see now. Thanks.

In other news, I have a huge headache from B1. Stage 1 of that route is worse than SA stage 1, there I said it.

But I must be the only person who enjoys these headaches. 8D Means Touhou's doing its job.

Ehmm... okay? The results of RNG rolling its dices in my direction big time. I just stumpled across the card with 2xx power and decided i'd practice it instead of trying to capture it and then it just happened.

Stage 1 of that route is worse than SA stage 1, there I said it.

Yeah. Its a stage in Fairy Wars so of course! But in all seriousness, I don't get what's wrong with SA Stage 1. Its easy enough for me. If anything its Yamame's opener.

After a rather infuriating double KO, I finally captured Terukuni Throughout the World. 1/149 which means it took me even more tries to capture this than it did VoWG my first time, and that's only the ReimuB tries.

Now that leaves just Suwa War to capture and that will be all MoF cards captured. Too bad I'm also terrible at Suwa War.

Suwa War capture with ReimuA. Didn't even seem to have any luck involved either. Now I have all MoF cards captured. I also cleared Extra with ReimuC and MarisA while going for it as well so that i could have MoF Extra cleared with all shots.

Stage was ND1B, with the bomb for scoring purposes.
Suwako was 3DNB. Clipped second card, derped Froggy Braves the Elements, and Red Frog.

Although I bombed during the stage, that might as well have been a no bomb clear as well. I know it isn't, but I was trying for score, so that bomb near the end was necessary. Not that the end part of the stage is hard to dodge. Too bad those 3 deaths make me want to redo the stage and get a ND1B with a perfect Suwako battle.

You mean IN, not IW.

What part of Possessed by Phoenix is giving you trouble? The second phase is trivial if you start at the bottom and move up *very* slowly (tap to the music). (Alternatively, start at the top and move down.)
My bad. Also, I'll try that, but yeah, I can't last more than 10 seconds in phase 2.

Welcome among the badasses. Relish in your victory Funen as you have completed one of the greatest accomplishments Touhou has to offer. As for Enigma, your dedication to VoWG is commendable.

Finally finally finally beat IN with MariAri. Not like it was that tough as it only took a handful of attempts and those were spent learning the ins and out of how the team plays in each stage. I'm so accustomed to the dominance of Reimu and Yukari.

What the heck am I supposed to do during Kaguya's last spell card anyway? All I do is sit and wait for her life bar to start dropping for the first 15 seconds or so wondering if that's how it's meant to be or if I'm doing something incorrectly. It's been a year and a half since I first beat it and I still don't know.

Not like my skills are that great, but I'd figure I'd try 1cc'ing IN using Yuyuko and Youmu. I did so on my first try. Like, ever. My final score was 130x, and my previous high score for Yuyuko and Youmu was 7x and the only other entry on the high score list, so I was probably just boppin' around with them like 3 years ago and just never played as them again until tonight.

Grudge Bow capture, 1/13 for ReimuA. I'm 5/14 on the survival with ReimuA.

Too bad I derped Red UFO and Blue UFO on that run or it would have been no death. Of course, if I made it to it on a no death run, I would have autobombed Grude Bow's 4th phase, so I wouldn't have had the capture then.


With the Grudge Bow capture, I have all of UFO's Extra cards captured. The only cards I have left from UFO to capture are Lunatic Murasa's survival, Lunatic Greatest Treasure, Lunatic Vajra, and everything Lunatic Byakuren has past Nirvana's Cloudy Way in purprle, but since I can only practice up to stage 5, I don't even have access to most of those.

Woohoo, nice! This was arguably my most "impromptu" FIN capture ever, what with the way I handled the cutbacks, but it all worked out.

Hatate unlocked!
Her camera is weird though... The photo area is longer, and it doesn't shrink, but you can't move it around...
At least it can auto charge to 75% instead of 50%.

Are the scenes any easier with her?

IN Easy, don't watch unless you're someone who enjoys facepalming constantly or something like that.
Advice is welcome though, since I'm trying to get good at touhou.

Took me < 100. Isn't it just keep charging as fast as you can and make sure every photo you take catches Aya? Hatate's charge time is so short that you will take another picture before it gets too dangerous (although luck is involved).

My first ever 1cc
First of all, congratulations on your achievement, although for IN, you should also beat Kaguya.
I quickly watched the replay at 240fps, and I noticed a couple of things:
1. you seem to bomb right after you die for some reason, I would advise against doing that
2. sometimes you don't need to dodge that high up or move very much at all, For example...
2a. Mystia's cards, you can get by with little movement and staying at the bottom of the screen
2b. Marisa's 2nd card is very easy if you stay at bottom center and use small movements to dodge the waves as they come.
2c. Marisa's last card on easy can be captured by standing still, and on other difficulties by very very easy streaming; I don't know why you are moving around that much
3. You don't have to dodge any bullets in Reisen's last card - just move up above the 2nd ring of blue round bullets when most of the bullets are hidden. Her first card is similar, just move up to a gap, and move down with the bullets, no dodging necessary.
4. You seem to have trouble with stages and non-cards, I'm not sure why.

I didn't really know what I was doing, I kinda wanted a higher score.
Eventually I gave up on that when I saw the photo count getting close to 1000 and started just taking as many pictures as fast as possible.
It didn't actually take very long when I started doing that.

My latest attempt at SA Lunatic. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10162)

No deaths across the first four stages, which is what brings this here. But for some reason I forgot to gap in the second pellet hell, and I started losing it. My performance against Utsuho was pretty bad, even for me (died twice on UNR ::)). At least I broke the 1 billion benchmark, despite this not being a scorerun.

Yeah, I've been doing that since day 1 in games where you need to be at full power to be able to auto-collect stuff above the POC. It's a reflex reaction to collect all items on the screen and be at full power again... I guess I should try to get rid of that habit.
There are also times that I take too long to notice that I died and end up wasting a bomb on my next life, trying to deathbomb. It's embarrassing.  :V

I like to graze as much as possible, that's why I move around a lot. Considering that I managed to capture most of the spell cards, I don't think it's a bad idea on easy, though I guess doing that on harder difficulties might get me in trouble.

I'm a very unexperienced shmup player, so my instincts and reactions aren't fully developed yet. Most of my deaths are due to really silly mistakes.

Don't bother grazing stuff, at least until you get significantly better. There's no point unless you're scorerunning. Just try to kill stuff as fast as possible, I guess; this generally involves staying under the enemy as much as possible.

(I didn't watch your replay.)

To get better, all you need is practice. I used to play IN Easy around 9 months ago or so, but now I play on Lunatic. (Improvement speed will depend on the person though.) :V

I second this. You don't have to go too crazy with it, but grazing helps you get more comfortable being so close to bullets, and doing things like slow streaming will help with practicing precision movements (trying to move as little, distance-wise, as possible).

Yeah, but not flailing around the screen to try to get a bit more graze, which is what I'm against cuz unless you are score running, it's pointless, and practicing precision movements is important like you said, as when you get to higher difficulties, unless you are really good, you won't be able to supergraze.

Even if he was score running, just get a bit more time points by not dying in stages and nonspells would tremendously help already, as although he captured 20 spell cards, he died many times in random places.

SA Stage 5 Lunatic 1DNBNG, includes a perfect Orin fight. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10147)

There's no way I just got that close. The stupid death on Catwalk was me not paying enough attention, but I captured the last nonspell for the second time, so that's cool. Who knows when I'll get the full perfect run, however.

When did you get that good? Anyway, i will take a look at your run. The only part of SA Stage 5 i don't know what to do about is the part after the streaming. I always get walled.

The part after the streaming in the beginning?
Just memorize the spawn points of the orbs, stream the red bullets, and dodge the larger bullets.
It's easier said than done of course, but it shouldn't be that hard.

No. The part after the streaming post-midboss Orin.
Catwalk and that part are the greatest perils for me in the stage.

It's all streaming while dodging shit load of random dots, and unfortunately there isn't really any other way I think.
Switching direction involves moving quickly through hoards of dots and cutting back through the stream.
In normal mode it's easy, but on lunatic, :V so many dots.

Decided to take a break from SA and the result? http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10171 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10171)

I finally felt like 1ccing PCB normal (since I already cleared Phantasm, it`s about time, don`t you think?  :derp:). I somehow made it, dodged a lof of stuff that scares the crap outta me (most of S5, Youmu included), and never died with a bomb in stock, ended 0/0. Furthermore, I set starting lives to default and used Marisa, who I hate in PCB, and somehow I won  :D. Might not be that much of an accomplishment, but I feel that I`ve improved a lot and I never felt so good since 1ccing MoF Normal. Anybody else agree that PCB is the best of Windows Touhou?

It was kind of random, really. Outside of the Catwalk, I'm still ironing out a few kinks across the stage to lessen my chances of dying stupidly. And I suppose I can reference the parts past midboss-Orin as "pellet hell #1 and #2". For the second one, it's all about cutting back at the right times, and my replay shows the general idea if you need a guide. Then again, it's based on Kefit's approach from his video, so you can look at that too.

As for an accomplishment, perhaps me finally completing an item distribution list for all of SA Lunatic would count?

Ah, that makes more sense.  I honestly forgot that the popcorn hell immediately after killing off Catwalk is streaming because I'm more concerned about the popcorn than the streaming so the popcorn is all I think about.  Unfortunately, I don't have much advice for the second streaming section other than "use gaps like Yukari's going out of style" (pfft, like Yukari would ever go out of style), or, if you're using another character or too much of a man for gaps, "copy me, pixel for pixel" (which is actually "copy Kefit, pixel for pixel").

I documented what every enemy gives up in every section of the game. For eventual scorerunning, of course.

And I assume you're talking about the first Orin encounter. Krim showed me that strategy some time ago, and I've been using it ever since.

According to this replay timestamp, I've actually been plugging that constant circling strategy since Pi Day 2009. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=2470)  An appropriate day to introduce such a strategy, don't you think?

Knowing approximately how many Faith and Point items appear could help with calculating scores at a given point (when experimenting with methods, and examining other replays), and knowing the Power distribution will help me keep track of when I can bomb for supergrazing (because let's face it, mistakes will screw up any strict path I set up). As for the second question, that's where examining the latest world record replays will come in handy.

Don't just throw it out there without warning plz. Both might still have bugs, so back up your scores before using them. Rev7 includes everything with the MoF engine, save GFW. GFW obviously is just for GFW. It may possibly fix the 1cc and subsequently replay bugs. I chose not to make it super public originally (i.e. yesterday) because they're both still in betatest.

There is one for UFO on Drake's VSync upload...
No clue about FW :V

Drake sent me a DS vsynch patch, and it helped tremendously. I spent about 20 minutes on 12-4 before beating it, downloaded the vsynch patch, then did it my fifth try.  :]

Oh yeah, as long as I'm here. Though it might not be a big crazy accomplishment, I managed to NBNB IN stage 2 last night, complete with last spell capture. Anyone who furrows their brow over Mystia's second non-spell should take a look at how I minimalize the problem here:

For some reason i found it hilarious that Donut have Half Life 2 on his desktop. But whatever. Played MoF today. Fun game. I like it. Just kinda annoying when Kanako keep letting me off with those 1DNB runs where the deaths always are on something else than VoWG. This time it was a pretty failish death on Yamato Torus with me running straight into a bullet. Derp.

But i think that almost consistently capping VoWG is an achievement. Also, Peerless Wind God seems easier for me all of a sudden. Sure sometimes i'm presented with a wall but in recent time i'm capturing it 1/3 of the time. I still need some time to recover from that 9/69 record.

Heh heh, good job. Total Purification's really fun to capture the first time.

Isn't it always fun? (That is until you randomly start smashing into walls)

I don't quite understand, but I just captured Uncontainable Nuclear Reaction three times in a row, and 1DNB'd stage 6 (died on Hell's Tokamak due to nerves). I wonder though, if there's some reason for this. I can suddenly read the attack much better on a school computer than my home one, and the sun bullets seemed...smoother, easier to see. If I can make it like this at home, I could perfect this fight for sure!

EoSD Lunatic is hard. Congratulations.

EDIT: Speaking of EoSD lunatic, i did a few runs of it today. Just stage 3 runs. I am not really in the mood for anything tougher right now but daaaaaaaaaaaaamnn... I haven't played this game since i 1cc'ed it iirc and i have no idea why. Its really fun! A stage 3 boss that involves legitimate dodging? Now thats a rare sight. No stupid cards or attacks, just simple attacks. Just how i like it. She is not really that hard but there is just something about her that seems right. Something Yuugi, Nitori, Keine and Ichirin doesn't have.

I'll need to visit Patchouli and Sakuya and maybe Remilia over the coming days.

Whenever I capture the Catwalk, it seems I have a tendency to capture it multiple times right after (not always consecutive, of course). This has been going on for a while, but I'm trying to convince myself it might be my brain becoming momentarily able to assess the patterns more efficiently (i.e. an actual progression in skill). I still don't fully understand the kind of mindset I tend to be in anytime I get these captures (regarding the movements I choose to make), but it's a step in the right direction, since I can at least work off of it. If I can hone this kind of approach some more, then I'll no longer need to worry about potentially going into it with no Power during a scorerun.

With a bit of effort, coupled with some trial and error (I didn't know you could dodge Cirno's shotgun that way), I successfully perfected EoSD Stage 2 on Lunatic in celebration of today.

...now if I could just apply that to my current skill level.

Just went through A1 for spell card cleanup, now I only have one left. Unfortunately, it's in the final battle, and I'm REALLY not keen on replaying 15 minutes just for one shot. :| This is why I'm not going to be super dedicated or heartbroken if I never capture all the spell cards in this game.

EDIT: ROFL Gold Medal Bug I'm going to abuse this so hard.
Interest peaked do tell.  (http://sae.tweek.us/static/images/emoticons/emot-allears.gif)
Unfortunately...I'm going to have to regard this as "classified information" (as "elitist" as this may come off as being). Gold Medallan Like a MoranTM is a challenge considering that it's not something you're "supposed" to be doing. I will say that this abuse (poor word choice previously; it's not a bug at all) makes about 50% of the Spell Cards easier to Gold Medal.

Though, I did encounter one certain bug with regard to the actual "status" of the Gold Medal itself; it's History gets recorded even with replays. What I mean by this is, if you use a replay to ... replay a Gold Medal capture of a Spell Card, it will record down a(nother) point on the Spell Card. Like this:
(http://i20.servimg.com/u/f20/12/80/32/92/untitl11.png) (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=798&u=12803292)
I love Drake's edit btw
I've only Gold Medal'd this Spell Card once. Unless of course, you want to assume that I'm lying and really have Gold Medal'd the above 7 times and am simply trying to force false information into the knowledgebase.

...going back to that abuse, thanks to it, I was able to successfully Gold Medal this:
(http://i20.servimg.com/u/f20/12/80/32/92/th/untitl29.jpg) (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=799&u=12803292)

By the way, I only have 4 Spell Cards left to Gold Medal before I have a full Route completed.
The only reason why I'm bothering with Gold Medals is because I don't need practice on doing Spell Card properly in scoreruns
.

Geez, no accomplishments all day?
Given that the royalflare board for FW just went up recently, I ended up slaving myself over learning UKT's routes highs, lows, all that and more for the entire day thus far.

Oh yes, please SUBMIT to the board as well. Not just you, but other people who read this as well. This isn't an order, this is a request.
;___________; pleeeeeease?

Also, this probably should've been happening already but please, please please stick to the forum's image restrictions; there's almost no point in putting up a PNG in all it's GLORIOUS quality only to have my bandwidth raped sideways by something completely unnecessary; I assure you that something like the screencap above which is a JPG gets what I want to show across perfectly fine and being only ~33% of the size of a PNG of equivalent resolution as well! This cuts my consumption from that single image by 67%! While that may seem small, I don't go image surfing / stream / watch videos online / etc. a lot so in actuality, it actually does matter quite a bit to me.

Or at least thumbnail / leave it as a link.

Oh and a sidenote, the scoring system for FW is growing on me little by little; suiciding to freeze moar is becoming a reality if I want to beat UKT at this.

I think i've found myself a way to enjoy Fairy Wars. Playing it on Easy removes any necessity for memorization and quite a bunch of the attacks are pretty fun to get gold medals on. Even though the game is indeed super easy on that difficulty.

There is actually some spellcards that makes you go EZ MODO!!! if you try to gold medal it. Lunatic is a pain to no-freeze though and i expect Hard mode is as well because those suicide bullets are still there and they really have people who don't want to freeze. Well, most of the high level danmaku does anyway.

Accomplishment? Well, i'd think that finding amusement with this game is an accomplishment in itself. Maybe Normal mode is no-freeze friendly as well...

Brilliant Dragon Bullet isn't so bad if you can discover ~~The Secret~~ behind it. Then again, in that respect it's like many spell cards.

And after a few weeks of procrastinating from Touhou, my great project continues with an IN Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10289). I'd like to thank Reisen for being so goddamn easy stage 5 boss and making this all possible.

Other than that this was really awful playing, even for a first 1cc. I failed way too many attacks in the last second and didn't capture pretty much anything after stage 2. I think I also failed every single last spell (yes, even Wriggle's even though I capture it like 95% of time). I also backed into a lonely bullet in the beginning of st5 with 3 bombs and was too shocked by it to deathbomb. Similar thing also happened in the next stage.

Besides totally butchering Reisen, only highlight was perfecting both stage portions of st4. Oh and I guess using only one bomb in Hourai Jewel is OK, considering that was my 3rd time playing the card. I'm really amazed I still managed to clear this with such horrible play, I guess this is one of the easier Lunatics then?

It's up there in easiest, but LLS maybe SoEW, and possibly GFW have it beat in terms of how easy it is. Maybe MoF too due to the bombspam thing and SA is also able to be bombspammed.

Go  MoF next as it's pretty fun. Or maybe SA as its the best Touhou game.

And I'll have to watch the replay once the computer's working again.

Oh, I forgot to mention the FinalA 1cc. You might or might not want to 1cc through Eirin as well.

My order was all over the place.

SA
MoF(technically, this is first if we count lol Marisa B, but I wasn't)
EoSD
IN (Final B)
IN (Final A)
PCB

And damn, is that really it. I guess all those 4 teams + 6 solos thing on IN kind of inflated my count.

And I'm not a
heretic
that hates PC-98, I just can't record the thing and would 1cc SoEW, LLS, and MS Lunatics if I was able to record. But I want to record the runs, so I haven't bothered. PoDD is above me at the moment though. It really wouldn't take that long to learn those 3 games.
Title: Re: Nobody Cares How Bad You Are at Touhou! (Accomplishments IX)
Post by: Zengeku on September 14, 2010, 05:52:58 PM
My first was MoF iirc. A standard suck-ass initial bomb-spammy 1cc.
Then IN i think. (Made a FinalA clear shortly after)
Then PCB. Cleared with 4 lives in stock as i was unlocking stage practice. :)
Then SA.
Then LLS.
Then EoSD. (Not sure of LLS or EoSD came first)
Then PoFV.

Or maybe SA as its the best Touhou game.

It shouldn't be too hard to predict Donut's reaction to this. :)
I don't know if i'd call SA the best Touhou game though. I'll probably go with MoF instead. Aya and Kanako does a lot for that. It also got the best OST in the series imo.

Almost perfected the Prismriver sisters as Marisa just now. It would be much easier to do as Marisa than as Reimu. I died once to the stage at the streaming part so that might have caused the rank to lower but the version of Lyrica's opener i faced wasn't really hard at all.

Post by: FreyasSpirit on September 15, 2010, 08:19:54 AM
Just managed to get to scarlet shot before having to continue.  I'm getting closer to my 1cc.  I also died with bombs several times earlier so in a good run where I don't do anything stupid, I know I can pull it off.

Also got my first capture curse of vlad tepes along the way.
Title: Re: Nobody Cares How Bad You Are at Touhou! (Accomplishments IX)
Post by: Zengeku on September 15, 2010, 10:10:26 AM
And Perfect Prismrivers with MarisaA. That wasn't really hard. Much easier to do than ReimuB. How does the rank work in PCB anyway? I died once on the stage just in the beginning but i suppose that was before rank even built up. I'm going to go check if Lyrica's opener is significantly easier if you suicide a lot to the endstage portion.

EDIT:

Went ahead and suicided a lot before the Prismgirls and faced Lyrica. Yes, it is true. The rank lowers and the attack becomes completely trivial. What is it that makes that attack so impossible anyway? I saw Kefits old video of it and i immediately spotted a gap where Kefit died.

Because I haven't bothered to get the PC-98 emulator to run the old games comfortably. Besides, the Windows games are like a separate series anyway.

Edit: I have still beaten LLS and MS at Hard, it's just that the emulation seems somewhat laggy to me so I don't really want to try Lunatic. I suppose it's possible to get them to run better. HRtP is not a shmup so I don't care about it, SoEW is not a very good game and I suck horribly at PoDD.

Editedit: I lied. It seems that I haven't actually cleared MS on Hard. I should at least do that sometime. It can't be that hard now can it? At least LLS was really easy.

Gold Medal'd GFW Route B1 Easy "Three Fairies". That spell gets pretty tough.

EDIT:

1D2B UFO Stage 3 Lunatic. Deathbomb at Midboss Ichirin deathbomb. (Failed laserreading gets me caught in the middle of two lasers only to be pierced by the third) Died at second orb spam, rushed too much at the circling part and had to use a bomb and perfected Ichirin.

I'm starting to think that the majority of this level isn't that bad. I just have no idea how you guys can handle the orb spam so well. 90% of the time i get drowned in bullets. Very similar to EoSD Books for me.

IN Lunatic 1cc! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10310)

Yay, I finally got enough patience to deal with this game. Just like what happened on Hard, this was my very first time facing Kaguya on Lunatic (not a blind run obviously, but you get the idea). And that one successful cutback I made on Hourai made ALL the difference.

That makes 5 Lunatics 1cc'd.

I'm starting to think that the majority of this level isn't that bad. I just have no idea how you guys can handle the orb spam so well. 90% of the time i get drowned in bullets. Very similar to EoSD Books for me.
I stole Jaimers' strategy of staying near one side of the screen so that bullets will only come from one general direction, and it works okay as long as I pay enough attention. I don't know what you're doing though, so I can't tell if this advice will help.

If you're using Marisa A, you can sweep back and forth and kill off most of them, then once your path is too full of bullets to reliably unfocus back and forth, you can dodge the rest without much trouble since there won't be very many spawning bullets. Works even better with Sanae B
itch
.

Otherwise, it's just a read 'n dodge. The section will become much easier to sightread as you keep playing and get more practice with reading more bullets at faster speeds.

I thought Yuyuko trivialized the stages more? Either way, I really don't care enough for IN to worry about character choice (aside from my normal preference for forward shot types). I'll capture what cards I have left in Spell Practice and possibly come back to perfect Extra, but that will be it as far as I'm concerned.

I've 1cc'd PCB, MoF, SA, GFW, and IN so far. EoSD and UFO I'll do for sure, because they're among the main shooters, and I can probably complete both StB games with enough patience. The rest really depends if I ever feel like seriously trying out their different gameplay.

Sorry Naut, but i'm not using Marisa. Not right now anyway. I'm praticing the stage with ReimuA right now. If i can do it with her i should be able to do with ReimuB and SanaeB as well. If i can get this stage down a Lunatic 1cc sounds much more plausible than it ever did.

Capped LFO 3 times in a row. What?

Forget what to do/fail at positioning myself at Makai Butterfly, laserclip at Milky Way, getting hit by bubbles at Devil's Recitation and consistently capturing Super Human.

The latest streak of LFO caps lead me to think i'm showing signs of improving. But i still suck at this fight.

I died to fairies, Shizuha's first non-spell and spellcard and a lot to Minoriko. I am not too good at no-focus movement.

EDIT: And managed to perfect the stage portion pacifist. Focused though. Minoriko was damn embarassing though so i'll shut up about how that went. Stage is easy enough though. It was just a question of working out the ideal positions throughout the stage. I can see that timing out the midboss can be tough for some though.

http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10328

I end 3/0 like my original 1cc, but because of this happening despite far worse UFO control, this is a vast improvement. Highlights include surviving the stage 3 circling portion despite screwing it up, capturing Murasa's third non-spell, and capturing Radiant Treasure Gun through a strategy I've never tried before. LFO, as usual, is captured in a confusing display of frantic dodging that just so happens to always work.

There is two threats in this attack. Put yourself in the biggest gaps of those regular bullets that goes in straight lines and dodge the AB bullets as required.
Title: Re: Nobody Cares How Bad You Are at Touhou! (Accomplishments IX)
Post by: Krimmydoodle on September 22, 2010, 07:33:50 AM
I personally find that while the linear bullets are the first immediate threat, they "camouflage" the real threat which is the AB bullets, and that my mind processes the card more successfully if I focus primarily on the AB bullets and dodge the linear bullets as required, which is opposite your thinking (my reasoning for this method is that the linear bullets move much more predictably, and it's easier to put those in the back of my mind, while doing the opposite and putting the AB bullets in the back of my mind tends to end with one of them sneaking up on me).  Of course, whatever works for you is what works for you; I'm just offering another suggestion.
Title: Re: Nobody Cares How Bad You Are at Touhou! (Accomplishments IX)
Post by: Zengeku on September 22, 2010, 03:45:26 PM
I don't think our views on the card differs too much Krim.

Its not like i primarily focus on the linear bullets. I take one brief look at the linear bullets and think of them as being edges of a box that i position myself inside. Then i focus on dodging the AB bullets.

Probably. Reading trajectories is something I'm still working on; my biggest flaw with the spell is overdodging the red waves.

Mid-boss Momiji timeout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10391)

counting it as no death because momiji already left the screen when i died to her wall and first peerless capture in a while.

Imitated (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10395)
Sorry. I had thought of doing it for quite a while. You just beat me to it.

It took me 3 attempts which you can argue is a lot for something that short. I did die at the those streaming-metal fatigue bullets afterwards though. It mixed itself up with Momiji's leftovers after she went off-screen. Ouch.
Also did 1DNB Aya. Died at PWG so it isn't really anything special.

A random Lunatic attempt at PCB got a 1cc despite everything that could go wrong happening, like the wrong Prismriver sister and dying twice with full bombs and only capturing 8 cards. Still shaking, finished 0/1.

My first 1cc of that game is such a wonderful memory I don't think I want to ever have a better run of it though.

1cc'd with all characters in Kioh Gyoku.

I like the fact that you have to play offensively to win instead of defensively ala PoFV or PoDD. It's just a shame the game is a bit too easy.

I've unlocked and beaten all last words except those which require you to clear 30 last spells, beat hard/lunatic with Reimu solo and see all other last words. I figure they belong to Marisa, Remilia and Yukari. I find it amusing that Wriggle's last words is the most difficult, or took the most attempts to capture in anycase (about 120 tries  :ohdear:) other difficult ones were Fantasy Heaven and Total Purification.
But then I captured the last words of Eirin and Mystia on my first time ever seeing the attack.  :V

That game has smaller hitbox doesn't it?

The only time something is truly a wall is when hitboxes overlap, and you would be surprised how rarely this happens. Vampire Illusion and Scarlet Gensokyo are the only two times that come to mind where this happens to any significant scale.

The only time something is truly a wall is when hitboxes are separated by less than diameter of Reimu's hitbox

Fixed.

However, I think Vampire Illusion and Scarlet Gensokyo "walls" have plenty of space, but the bullets overlap a lot and the spaces change around quickly so it's really really difficult to read and micrododge.

On the other hand...

I have never seen an impossible Bury in Lake. Personally i find Megalith much more menacing because of EoSD-bubbles. A shame. It would probably be a blast if not for that.

But really... I don't know about you guys but i got other things to do than play shmup games. How much time are you required to put into every single spellcard before declaring it undogable?

And everything is probably dodgable in some way or another. Sometimes you just need to play things at 1/6 speed in order to do it. Peerless Wind God probably also always have gaps somewhere.

EDIT:

Get request. Try once. Fulfill it.

Me, I used to put about 5-10 attempts into a card before declaring it an autobomb as far as full runs are concerned, but yeah, it's obvious that almost anything is possible (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsRxWZ_ge0U) after you put enough SCIENCE into it, even if it takes retarded amounts of time.

I normally give things those 5-10 attempts and if i'm not getting on to something i usually go ask if somebody knows something magical. Then go back and try a little more maybe. But I need something to go by.

But sometimes its also pure laziness. Take Source of Rains. I almost always die/bomb there because i fail redirecting it properly and cause bullets to form "walls". I think the card is stupid so its basically a waste of time to play it.

Radiant Treasure Gun though is far more interesting so naturally i was more interested in learning more about it even though i now have lost pretty much all consistency i had on it.

That, of course, also heavily influences my capture rate. Its just coming back to bite me now that i kinda want that Perfect Kanako fight. She is too boring to grind so i'm just doing a run every once in a while and its quite silly that it seemingly never is VoWG's fault i haven't done it yet.

Have your capture rate on VoWG improved? A difficult opener is not much of a reason to not perfect a fight. After all, its fast to restart if you fail it.
Title: Re: Nobody Cares How Bad You Are at Touhou! (Accomplishments IX)
Post by: nintendonut888 on September 28, 2010, 05:33:37 PM
I can think of a great many reasons not to perfect a fight and only one (albeit good) reason to, but whatever. An opener that stops 7/10 attempts is a pretty big deterrent, even if it's an improvement over 9/10.

In other news, I captured LFO once more, using spastic dodging which I will eventually get around to showcasing in a video (though not this one). I swear this is turning into one of my favorite spell cards simply because of how I keep getting away with these kinds of captures.

And no, my capture rate of VoWG is still very low. I always make just one mistake, and I don't care if you say "you should do better," because I ALWAYS make one mistake. >:V

As demonstrated. Random run of Kanako thanks to this, got lucky and captured the opening, perfected until Source of Rains (another reason I don't want to perfect: I still have Yamato Torus and Source of Rains to deal with), and ran into a wall cluster the final dodge of VoWG before I captured it.

First 1cc of any Touhou game on Hard difficulty. I know, I know it's IN, but it technically counts.

Now I know some of y'all don't give two hoots or a holler about this stuff because you were doing high-score runs and capturing 70% of all the spell cards on a single run on Lunatic while in the womb while your central nervous system was still in development, but I have been playing these games for three and a half years and this is the best I have done yet. I worked real darn hard for this. I had 7 failed attempts just today, and this last time I made it through so much of the stuff that had caused me frustration before to make it to the end.

Hm, not bad I guess. Died once on Murasa's third nonspell because I haven't burned it into my brain yet. The first two were much simpler, so it didn't take long at all to memorize those (seriously, only a few runs). Also includes my first ever captures of Murasa's last two cards, yay. :)

It's always great to add a new player to the Hard mode tier list.

You'll probably have to tackle the rest of the Extras, and by extension, Normal modes before you go for a PCB or MoF Hard 1cc, though. Those would be my recommendations for a harder challenge.

Oh, wait, I have to include GFW and its Extra mode in that list, too, dammit. Why haven't I unlocked Extra yet when I can 1cc MoF Lunatic?

Dammit i hate this one. Got this one because SanaeB is apparently too weak to capture a spell at 3xx power. Okay it probably have something to do with the fact that i didn't stay under Ichirin for much time.

I don't know if there is some sort of divine strategy for this card but for me its just pick spot and pray what comes out from the purple hands is dodgable.

I would probably have liked the card a lot more if those hands weren't there. Nothing to camouflage the bullets (which isn't a fair way to make difficult imo) and a little more vertical space to move in. That would be Starbow Break Lunatic edition. Instead its this card.

Oh, wait, I have to include GFW and its Extra mode in that list, too, dammit. Why haven't I unlocked Extra yet when I can 1cc MoF Lunatic?

Because MoF is so easily beaten on Lunatic?  :V *Bomb-spam power*
No really. Clear all routes on easy and it should unlock. And the Fairy Wars Extra stage is Faily.
Boring shit.

Its not easy but if you can't do it without freezing its hard to appreciate a hard extra stage...

EDIT: Not easy compared to other extra stages that is. Just clearing through is reasonable because of lol many lives.

Aside from the lack of vertical alignment with Unzan's hitbox, you handled it quite well. If you want to go for pure survival, the spell card is much easier to dodge if you hug either side of the screen.

That would be interesting if i ever get around to getting that "get it over with" 1cc i'll probably do sometime. When i'm practicing i'm naturally more interested in captures.

Right now I played LLS for the first time. I 1cc'd Normal mode on my first try, then I went and beat Extra on my first try too.
I don't know if I should be proud or not because that Extra stage seemed fairly easy (compared to Alice's :ohdear:).

No, I don't care that you all unlocked it the day the game came out, after 1ccing A-2 Lunatic three days after GFW's release I have not touched that game until two days ago where I finally got around to unlocking Extra.

I just 1cc'd PCB Hard with Reimu A. I think I died only 3 or 4 times, though I used too many bombs in stage 4 and 5  :blush:. It was also the first time I have the maximum amount of lives in stock full (stupid Lunasa started breaking it down though.)

During the same run I captured 50% Reflowering  :3
I actually believe I can 1cc Lunatic, because I beat silly Yuyuko with like 7 lives remaining.

It always feels like that when you get that good of a run. But the gap from where you are to the perfect time-out is perhaps a lot bigger than it seems. Considering how the amulet walls are randomly oriented, you can receive various combinations of "patterns" during any given run, and being able to account for pretty much all of them (which you'll become more familiar with through practice) ahead of time can get you closer than hoping the RNG works in your favor. Nonetheless, don't give up! The satisfaction of a perfect VoWG time-out is well worth the effort.

Perfect Satori + near-flawless Stage portion (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bUR4hDKUHc)

A run of Stage 4 in Subterranean Animism in which i defeat the boss Satori Komeiji without dying or using bombs. It is something that i have aimed to achieve for quite some time now but failed quite frequently due to fuck-ups on her non-recollection spellcard or her 1st recollection spellcard.

Satori is an ingenious boss fight imo. She has three unique spellcards for every one of the six different shot types you can use.

This one is done with ReimuA - the most popular of the shot types.

I uploaded the stage portion as well. It went pretty well. Just a shame about that one death but it was on something trivial so i don't really care about it too much. Its the same deal as with my perfect run of Murasa.

EDIT: Now with annotations that provides advice and slightly perverted humor.

Well whaddaya know? I made it to Stage 6 in an SA Lunatic no-bombs 1cc attempt. That includes captures of Catwalk, Ghost Wheels and a Perfect Satori fight.

Unfortunately it also included two deaths on Yuugi and one on Parsee. Why did those mistakes have to be there? I could've nailed that No-bombs 1cc in one attempt!  :(

Posting it here because getting that far is still pretty nice. The run ended on Okuu's second non-spell. Very shittily too. The attack was cleared. Death by bullet as attack gets captured.

Haven't seen your video yet. Will probably do that tomorrow and throw a comment for you. :)
But really, looking at your sig you have captured Peerless Wind God Lunatic and VoWG Hard as well as a 1cc of UFO Normal. I really don't understand how you can have that much trouble with Level 3.

But that doesn't matter as long as you're having fun.

I still have no idea how i pulled that peerless wind god capture though :3
Maybe my computer was a little laggy or something because normally i don't remember my reaction time being *that* fast.

I'm not used to the controls of STB and i don't like abusing camera zoom. so I end up running into the boss when it coughs bullets at me.
And Level 3 is going smoothly (just that wine/crossover keeps freezing and stalling my computer making me force restart over 9000 times)

Fake edit: wait shit, it says 60fps on that replay.
Maybe I'm really deproving. Need my daily dose of VoWG on hard and above :V (But exams come first D:)

Which that very obviously was. The RNG did go somewhat easy on you but i'm almost 100% certain that those movements were very random and unconsciously done.

I've been juggling the clearing of Lunatic stage 6 in MoF, SA and UFO for a while now. My goal's been to clear them without getting hit more than twice, and not to use any bombs either. Today I made a run against Utsuho and died three times, and every single death was the result of some slight stupid miscalculation - I mean, I got hit during the start of her final card.  :V

I'm still keeping it though. I like the perceived feeling of actually making progress.  :blush:

Wait what.
Are you suggesting the Rice Porridge is easier than Medoteko? I thought it was agreed that Medoteko was the easiest lunatic Stage 6 spell.

I mean, Rice Porridge requires you to actually dodge something, for starters.  :derp:

Same thing here (well, not with Apollo 13 but touhou in general). I would see danmaku more like a wall of death, but now I can identify every single bullet and it's direction. Now after 6 months since I started playing touhou, I can come extremely close to 1cc'ing Lunatic on several games.

And congrats on the IN 1cc. PCB is not that bad though - you can do it only once if you want, and all those resources will probably get you the 1cc on the first try.

I find EoSD a hell of a lot funner than UFO.

Very little memorization and almost every card is random dodging. Of course, randomness sucks when it comes to Remilia. I got walled by almost everything she had in my 1cc.

Hell, even MarisA Patchouli is pretty fun outside of Sylphae Horn High Level.

I don't think it sucks that much, especially with hitbox patch (which solved my main gripe about it).
Sure there is no cherry/human-youkai/faith/communication/ufo, or anything like that,
but I don't think that makes it not fun.

Plus, once you get used to staying the hell away from metal fatigue bullets,
and recognizing that the red part of bubbles kill you, it's not that bad.

Same here. I can fight Sakuya and Remilia in lunatic pretty well (even going through walls!),

I recommend that, for training purposes, you should start playing Lunatic instead. I went straight for Lunatic when I got into the series (without any shmupping experiences prior to it) and while the first six months was like a living hell, as long as you keep a good spirit you will eventually rise above your limits and slingshot yourself to power.

They are both easy.

Its kinda true too. If not memorization of specific movements then its having to know a lot of stuff about each individual spellcard.
But okay, if memorization is not a valid argument against UFO then i'll just say this;

Pre-UFO games are superior to UFO because there is no Ichirin in them.

Feels sleepy man :V

EoSD is the same, I guess. Last time I died three times with full bombs in stock max lives btw and still got half of Scarlet Gensokyo down.

PCB definitely is very easy. But Alice is still the hardest Stage 3 except for Ichirin. And Youmu's boss fights' pretty good too. (Mainly because of HGS is fun)

:trollface:

Points to you for making my day.

NO.

Well, for me its harder to dodge with safespot than just reading the pattern so maybe.

Strangley enough in my opinion SA was the easiest clear I've had to date (on easy). Beating Utsuho with about 5 lives to spare but then I put it on Normal and I barley make it to Orin. And then I try any other game on easy and I stock up about 7 lives by perfecting stages 1-3 then loose almost all of them in seconds.

If you ask me, Marisa is too fast in EoSD. Even with a long time to practice, and with a less sensitive keyboard, it can still be really hard to micrododge with her (that's just me though). Reimu's speed is not bad at all, and I've occasionally used her when I felt like I needed more precision.

Memorize a UFO route.

I have stage 1 memorized, I have stage 2 memorized, I have stage 3 memorized, stage 4 really can't be memorized, I have the first half of stage 5 memorized.

Many spellcards are dodging though, but there's a few annoying memorization required ones(Parasol Star Memories as one)

A 1cc would be more a matter of me not derping than something I can't handle. I could 1cc UFO Lunatic if I did not mess up stage parts, I could 1cc UFO Lunatic if I didn't derp up the bosses.

 :o

Maybe that just means that you find Alice to be really easy. I really like that boss fight even though she isn't that hard. The hardest attack she has is probably her 1st spellcard. That involves some pretty fast dodging. Then there is the 2nd spellcard which isn't hard at all. Then there is the 3rd spellcard which is tough-ish because of its density but nothing outside of that.

Final spellcard is pretty easy too.

Yuugi? She is similar to an extra boss. You have to know how to deal with the attacks but once you do the boss is pathetic. Tbh.

Yeah, I started out in hard, and moved to lunatic mode pretty soon after.
Lunatic SA stage 4 practice helped me clear the normal mode one no death.
I mean, once you get used to the craziness of lunatic, you won't panic in normal mode anymore.

It is hard though, so you will need to practice mode many many times just to be somewhat reliable.

Btw, I think UFO is only memorization with some characters (Reimu A, Marisa A), but it's also dodging with others (Reimu B, Marisa B, Sanae A, definately Sanae B).

The only memorization you have to do is to learn what kinds of UFOs appear and where...

I find this somewhat funny coming from you. I never understood why would you need to memorize Hourai Jewel. Sure it's hard but it's perfectly possible to dodge it by simply reading it if you just get into the rhythm and listen to the bullet sounds to know when you should change direction.

Since this is the official bragging thread, in my first 1cc, I played that cards Lunatic version for the 3rd time ever and I only bombed once in the beginning. Still I somehow survived it to the end with absolutely no memorization involved.

 Perfect MoF Stage 2 Lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10568)

I never really bothered to try perfecting this stage before.

Now to go for Stage 3 Perfect. My best is 1DNB Perfect Nitori(including midboss) with the death being a stupid derp.

Perfect UFO Stage 2 Lunatic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eo0ro5G6ANk)

Been meaning to do this for a while but PSM said no a lot of the time.

I find this somewhat funny coming from you. I never understood why would you need to memorize Hourai Jewel. Sure it's hard but it's perfectly possible to dodge it by simply reading it if you just get into the rhythm and listen to the bullet sounds to know when you should change direction.

I had 40 attempts last week attempting to capture it in spell practice. I was constantly getting completely walled. I don't know what you mean when you say read. I dodge the static pattern in the background and stream the spell and hope that Kaguya doesn't fire at the wrong moment.

Either this card is memogarbage or its just one of the hardest spells ZUN have ever made. It can screw you over so easily. However, whenever i fail Scarlet Gensokyo, VoWG or 80% Reflowering there was always a way out. I just failed because those things are fair.
Hourai Jewel however can wall you. And i find that bullshit.

Just a question: Have you tried experimenting with the card and trying different streaming strategies, or are you just ramming your head against it trying and failing with the same methods every time? :V Because I did the latter for 300 attempts, tried the former, and now am semi-consistent in capturing it. It's hardly memorization even if it's micromemorizable.

A little bit of both. You have to be extremely agressive and willing to switch directions at very unorthodox places. Eventually this evolves into "soft" memorization; after that it's just a matter of not ramming the grid.

edit: screw memorization, went there and captured it twice in four attempts after not seeing it for months. just switch directions early rather than late and you'll be fine.

Post by: Zengeku on October 14, 2010, 08:19:00 AM
I have tried everything and its still one huge wall fest to me. My capture rate is under 2%, capped it only twice. This bloody thing is completely unreasonable.

I think i'd have more sucess dodging PWG for 60 seconds straight. At least that wouldn't wall me off!  :/
Title: Re: Nobody Cares How Bad You Are at Touhou! (Accomplishments IX)
Post by: ebarrett on October 14, 2010, 08:54:14 AM
ok, solved it:

start the streaming from left to right, start the first switch before the halfway point, do the second switch at the obvious spot and then RUSH to the right corner to do the switch vertically. safe path, completely defuses the rest of the card, and will work 100% of the time barring the occasional mistap straight into a round bullet.

Switch directions for Hourai Jewel when you hear the sound of the bullets bouncing of the walls stop.

As for me, I just did another MoF no bombs lunatic 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10584)

Finished with four lives remaining.  :toot:

Bombs do no damage to Hourai Jewel :v

Besides, it's easy. Timeout, second try. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10591) I just switch every 5 waves of bullets (after 7 waves initially). I'm pretty sure this method makes the card absolutely trivial. :V

(At least, it looks way easier than what ebarrett is doing. I came up with this while trying to get that no focus 1cc.)

Maybe I should try LLS and MS for completion's sake.

Must feel good to clear one of those.

I'm really only interested in doing it on IN, MoF, and SA sometime. I've been attempting MoF's No Bomb, and I've gotten up to Aya. Stage 4 just annihilates me.

Although I doubt that will take long to do anyway. Especially since I can probably now look up on RoyalFlare how to do some of those cards without bombs.

Also, I uploaded my MoF no bombs 1cc because it's better than Kefit's  it was a pretty sweet run in hindsight.

 Hell yeah, Stage 5 before midboss Sanae (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10632)

That's some small progress on No Bombs

Derped hydro Camouflage, but I might have died there anyway. And I shouldn't have tried a different strat for Spin the Cephalic Plate in a serious run, that just sucked. 5 deaths on Stage 4. 2DNB Aya Fight(Saruta Cross and PWG)

Well. I wiped my StB score.DAT a few days ago. Just cleared the game last night, and wow, my shot counts were way different than last time. Top five shot counts:

#1. 8-7 (448 shots)
#2. 10-4 (292 shots)
#3. 9-6 (238 shots)
#4. 9-5 (192 shots)
#5. 5-5 (174 shots)

This was way different from last time. 10-4 and 10-8 didn't make me want to cry, 9-6 actually took longer than it did last time I cleared it, nothing in the EX-Stage took me over fifty shots to clear (EX-8 took me well over a thousand shots to clear my first runthrough of the game)...

Oh well, StB is too fun to dislike. Now to restart DS!

All right! Nice going man. Wasn't all that hard work worth it after all?

I'm just curious, did it seem like you were a bit hesitant to stay far above the bottom? There's probably some bias in that question considering how I approached the card, but whatever. Again, it's only out of curiosity.

Nereid and Topos, how are you two coming along with VoWG?

Was extremely bored and earned another EoSD Normal 1cc. The real story though involve rare captures of "books",  Koakuma, Sylphae Horn*, Agni Shine*, and Vlad Tepes* in the same run. :o Then proceeded to die way too much in the last two stages but that's another story...

*2nd capture ever for each

I don't know if i should cry or be happy about this: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10642

I decided to try an MoF Lunatic no-bombs run.
Stage 1,2 and 3 was perfect.
I died once to Momizi but perfected the rest of the stage including Aya.
Perfected Stage 5 until Sanae... who kills me 5 times.  ???
I lose my remaining lives to pathetic performance on Stage 6. Game over at Yamato Torus.

I am in a way very annoyed about how Sanae, a boss that i consistently perfect in practice, ruined such an otherwise fantastic run.
Needless to say, i am kinda discouraged towards trying for no-bombs any time soon.

Is the solution to Yuka's final boss opener seriously to stand directly under her at the bottom of the screen? Survived a whole bunch of waves doing it this way and never died.

Also, is the solution to Yuka's Master Spark seriously to stand in the lower right corner? Survived a whole bunch of waves doing it this way and never died.

That was pretty bad.

I am so stealing that idea on premidboss Sanae. Why was I streaming from the other side then trying to turn around quickly. That gets rid of one of the few problems I have on the stage.

 Perfect Stage 5 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=10643)

Wasn't satisfied with just having a normal no death run of the stage. Outside of that premidboss streaming, which shouldn't be an issue now, the problems mainly are Secretly Inherited Art of Danmaku, Night With Overly Bright Guest Stars, and Moses's Miracle. Was way out of practice on the last 2 so I was kind of nervous with them. Should probably practice those 2 more since it's easy to mess up.

Isn't Royalflare all about score running? Surely there is better points in Freezing cards than Gold Medalling (kinda retarded that).
