It's basically the opposite of EoSD; you can save practice and Extra runs, but not full game runs. Hence why I can only prove my 1cc with a screenshot. Not sure what they were thinking, you'd think being able to save a replay of a 1cc would be kinda important. Maybe it was beyond the capabilities of whatever system they were working with at the time.

But yea, the game is definitely feasible. You just have very little resources and no margin for error.

Sums up Shuusou Gyoku pretty well.

Except no. Shuusou Gyoku is a good game. It's rough around the edges, and a little hard to get used to, but if you spend some time with it, it has some truly inspired moments. Well, except for the stages. The stages kinda suck. But the bosses? Good Stuff. Not to mention that the Extra Stage is, like, the most glorious thing ever.

Not at all.

Sorry, but I just have a deep dislike of SG. The extra is no exception.

Not really much of an accomplishment to most people here, but I managed to clear LLS's Extra.

Yeah, my computer monitor's resolution is set at 800x600, and I get an "out of range" error if I try to change it...

Thanks!

I just went on a spell card capturing spree in EoSD, capturing Green Storm, Agni Shine High Level, and Agni Radiance. Now only one spell card remains to be captured in EoSD...

Bury in Lake

Derp.

Anyone else slightly unsettled by the name?

EDIT: That was very anticlimactic Bury in Lake.

ALL SPELL CARDS IN EoSD CAPTURED OMG!

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #158 on:** April 28, 2009, 03:54:19 AM »

So, err...

Anyone know how to handle Pseudo Stradivarius and Ghost Clifford? Since those are the only two spell cards in PCB I have left to capture, I thought it would be nice to know what I'm in for so as to minimize the amount of times I have to go through a four minute stage.

theshirn · « **Reply #159 on:** April 28, 2009, 03:56:31 AM »

Donut, I'll be honest, I don't understand you sometimes. I've gotten Ghost Clifford on Lunatic a couple times; I find it easier than Hino Phantasm (the Normal version). I just don't get it.

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #160 on:** April 28, 2009, 04:10:02 AM »

What's to get? I never use Reimu. I never use Sakuya. You have to go out of your way to fight those spell cards with Marisa. Stage 4 is the longest stage in the series.

I've fought both of those cards less than five times. I don't even know what Ghost Clifford looks like.

Kanako Yasaka · « **Reply #161 on:** April 28, 2009, 04:15:42 AM »

Ghost clifford and PS are both so easy that I've actually captured them. I forgot what I did on them though.

Azinth · « **Reply #162 on:** April 28, 2009, 04:18:44 AM »

Stradivarius is... kinda a streaming attack. Move across the screen, weave through the constricting bullets. And watch out for bullets coming from the bottom of the screen, they tend to do that.

Ghost clifford, it's a streaming attack too, but I don't really remember how it works.

Also, when you play as Reimu, let me know how Lunasa's second nonspell goes. It's like the hardest attack in the entire stage.

Kefit · « **Reply #163 on:** April 28, 2009, 04:33:33 AM »

I dunno which is which, but here goes:

Lunasa's card is just slow streaming. You will have to change directions frequently by dashing to the side of the screen as per regular streaming practice. Nothing beyond that, really.

Merlin's card is ??. I've faced it once and capped it that one time, probably by pure luck. I think I remember from side to side on the screen, but I'm not really sure. It can't be all that difficult of an attack though.

theshirn · « **Reply #164 on:** April 28, 2009, 07:50:35 AM »

Captured Youmu's midboss opener and Components of Konpaku. On the same run. And got Ghost Clifford Lunatic, just for donut.

I wonder if I should give VoWG another shot?

Its not too minor. I'm pretty sure theres quite a bunch of folks here who haven't beaten that stage especially as its one of the PC98 games. I actually managed to beat between 2/3 and 3/4 of it on my first try so maybe the battle isn't very hard but its just that fewer play it than later Touhou games... just theorizing here. I don't know if i feel like getting the battle won. Maybe one day when all Hard and Lunatic is over and done with.

Oh and out of casual playing i got a perfect Stage 4 as ReimuB. Then again, everything on Normal mode is pretty easy. Well, mostly. Too bad Hard mode kills my patience way too fast.

Finally i managed a near perfect Stage 4 as ReimuC. Its almost embarrasing really. I beat Tengu Macro Burst but i failed at the Whirlwind. Doh!

theshirn · « **Reply #166 on:** April 28, 2009, 09:25:34 PM »

FINALLY captured Heaven's Dragon! YES!

Also first captured Yamato Torus on the same run.

...which I guess means I've got Heaven's Dragon on Lunatic, but not on Hard. Funny li'l world.

I'm also down to two deaths and a bomb (or two?) on VoWG Lunatic. It used to be six deaths. Progress! But mostly I'm happy because I FINALLY GOT HEAVEN'S DRAGON. That card should not have taken this long.

Either way, I've gotten all of Kanako's cards and attacks except her BS opener, her third normal attack (crisscrossing red and blues) and VoWG (Lunatic).

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #167 on:** April 28, 2009, 10:44:45 PM »

Psst...we call it Source of Rains, not Heaven's Dragon.

And Source of Rains is ugh, so I'm not surprised it took a while.

So...I just tried Fantasy Heaven.

Two hundred and fifty times or so.

The card's just too damned fun.

I am annoyed that I can get it down to to 8 seconds on every try, 4 seconds around half of the time, and 2 seconds around 20%. I've gotten it to one second a couple times, but the very end of the card is too freakin' chaotic for me to be able to react that fast!

Also cleared Kanako Lunatic with the base two lives, on a friend's computer. We were stuck at her for a while - my friend was using ReimuA - and then I went through the game with ReimuB (captured Saruta Cross again - I like that card) and cleared her in a couple tries. Also picked up her crisscrossing red-and-blue-lines attack(in addition to nabbing Yamato Torus again), so it's just her opener and VoWG left.

Oh, and I captured Fujiyama Volcano. FINALLY. And I can do it pretty consistently. All Mokou's got left that gives me hell are Ikahasa's Moon Curse and Imperishable Shooting (loldyingonthefirstwave).

Also had fun with SA Lunatic and the Continues of Doom. Couldn't beat Orin. Period. I hate Lunatic Catwalk. On the plus side, I got to BoWaP 0/3, bombed all three times, which knocked her down to about half health, and then proceeded to completely ninja the rest of the card. Pure luck, but so cool.

Generalguy · « **Reply #171 on:** April 29, 2009, 08:29:40 PM »

SoEW Normal 1cc with Reimu B, default lives.

Lol Reimu B dodges so much better than Reimu A. And I died only once to Marisa!

The fight against Mima was just a lot of lol bomb spam (I can't dodge that star attack yet).

This is my second normal 1cc. Maybe I should actually try the other games instead of screwing around with EoSD all the time.

And I lost twice to Shikieiki in Extra FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

CP3 · « **Reply #172 on:** April 29, 2009, 11:54:46 PM »

1ccs:

EoSD: Normal
PCB: Normal, Extra
IN: Normal, Extra
MoF: Normal, Extra
SA: ...

Yeah, it isn't much. Yet.

All the EoSD talk made me really want to play EoSD, so I fired up my ancient laptop which is the only thing I own that actually runs it and fired up stage 4.

Terrible run. Then I decide to try timing out Emerald Megalith.

I pull it off.

What the fuck.

I think this just gave me enough motivation to try hacking in saving of stage replays into EoSD.

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #179 on:** April 30, 2009, 06:07:16 AM »

Now this is a hack I approve of.

Especially since I just realized that a no deaths EoSD stage 6 lunatic run is feasible. It was like any other random EoSD stage 6 run, except that I didn't die once until Scarlet Gensokyo. I used a bomb on the stage and of course one on Eternal Meek (it's been a long time since I've captured that card), but I perfected Remilia until Scarlet Meister. The difference is that I only had to use one bomb due to fortunate movements. Shame Scarlet Gensokyo was too much for me.
