Quit your goofy math; this isn't algebra, this is Touhou. Go grind VoWG and dodge more bullets, damnit.

Guess what I just did?

EDIT: The details.

The card itself can be broken down, with RNG taking heavy influence on the "secondary" waves. However, the "primary" waves are completely static, and can be micro-memorized. Following this, it's just basic reading and positioning.

Sleep <_<

Then in the morning, I shall do ReimuA,B. And a MarisaB without bugginess.

I figured out how to handle "the guests" or whatever Sanae likes to call her first spellcard with the marvelous lasers! *gets shot*.

The rest of her stuff is very easy so a perfect stage 5 run followed afterwards. Its probably another story with Lunatic...

I hate that card. I would get within 1mm of capturing it and *slap* laser-to-the-hitbox.

As for me, I'm going for my first Lunatic. PCB. Got to Youmu on attempt 2. Alice is just such an endurance thing though.

LHCling · « **Reply #334 on:** May 13, 2009, 11:36:35 PM »

Made it through Yuugi's last attack pattern (Non-Spell) at Lunatic without dying / bombing. Going to see if I can do it again (once I get back from today's lectures / tutorials).

SA was being a little bitch, so, for a change of pace, I tried EoSD's Extra, which I hadn't touched in a long while, and had only beaten once. I did one runthrough and managed to clear it. The Flandre battle was perfect up until Starbow Break, which I had a really stupid death on. My score was still worse than my first clear though...>.>

The second runthrough? Long story short, I got to the survival card with no resources, capped it for the first time, and then managed to whittle QED's healthbar down to a centimeter before finally failing. I was a nervous wreck by the end(probably the main reason I failed). To be honest, QED didn't seem nearly as bad as I remember. Like I said, I failed it mostly due to nerves. I might think differently after playing it some more, but Scarlet Gensokyo still seems harder in terms of capturing, imo.

Just did this:

Me in a "Shot the Bullshit" moment, Stage 2-4. Awesome way to do this. The biggest danger? Letty's fat ass running into you. Srsly. 90% of the deaths trying to get this were from Letty buttbumping me.

I know I said I wasn't going to play it again, but I magically managed to 1cc EoSD! I even still had 3 lives left. Now, I decided I wanted to try EoSD hard and compare it with normal mode and ended up 1ccing it on normal. Oh, here's the comparison:

Stage 1: No difference in the beginning, but the youkai that actually shoot have two rows of bullets now. Midboss Ruima seems mostly the same aside from the new spellcard.

Ruima: Some things have more spread, some attacks shoot more rows. Darkness Sign is noticably harder.

Stage 2: Mostly just more bullets, but Daiyousei's attack is now acting simaliar to one of Remi's noncards, only much easier.

Cirno:First noncard has some extra circular spread, and the first card changed completely. Perfect Freeze seems to have more bullets as does Diamond Blizzard.

Stage 3: Some enemies now have extra circular spread, Midboss China's card took a leap in difficulty. She shoots more bullets in her noncard, too.

China: many spellcards changed, and a new one is added in, not much aside.

Stage 4: just more bullets flying everywhere. Book lasers appear more abruptly.

Patchy: Non-directional laser sped up. Added spellcard. Fire sign has the fire hitting you from both sides at the same time.

Stage 5:almost no change except Sakuya's spellcard.

Sakuya: difficulty is really high. maid secret skill is much harder than before.

Stage 6: Circular bullet spreads now range in speeds. Not much else

Couldn't write about Remi due to insufficient info. Note I'm just including the most noticable changes

Next up: clear EoSD Extra then 1cc PCB.

If you read carefully enough, most of the spellcard names change.

Orin Lunatic Pacifist.

Tool-Assisted, obviously. Skip the stage, I suck at it. One bomb due to my inattention, I didn't realize how much the top of the screen cut off.

I'm gonna see how easy it is to get inside Ghost Wheels.

Quote from: Drake on May 13, 2009, 08:35:14 PM

Dancing through Ghost Wheels. As in through the Ghost Wheels.

It's actually very easy. After a few bombs/deaths, the last fifteen seconds were the most amazing feeling ever.
Also Small Demon Revival awkward zooming, but whatever.

wtf 2 captures in 2 days. ~~Replay coming soon... again~~. This time with ReimuB. And a whole lot more skillful placement on my part.

Second Hard 1CC. *dance*

Is it just me, or is playing skill in general behaving like a trigonometric function?
One evening you'll try over and over again, failling horribly. A few days later, when you finally beat it you even got 1 spare life or so. Happened with all but two extra clears and with both hard 1ccs...

Yeah often my first clear of something is a very successful run.
Take as an example: my first clear of EoSD extra was my first time into QED, and I finished with 3 lives (2 stars).

LHCling · « **Reply #344 on:** May 14, 2009, 09:25:49 PM »

...3rd capture in my 3rd day. I think I've finally gotten used to it. ReimuA.

Captures were at 10 p.m., 8 p.m., and 7 a.m. respectively.

http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=3257

If anything, VoWG is more of an endurance test, to see if you can maintain perfect focus, the ability to read the oncoming waves consistently, and a bit of BS dodging every now and then. (see: replay)

Which I would like to say, that there were 2 instances in that run for VoWG where I thought I would lose it.

Also, Recollection "Terrifying Hypnotism" at Lunatic isn't that bad, albeit it being completely different from the other modes.

~~DDBB DBDB~~ BSBS at Lunatic. The butterflies themselves move too fast for me to read oncoming waves; I find myself focused on my own hitbox instead to attempt dodging current waves.

I just had the opportunity to play LLS lunatic without any lag (school computer).

SO AWESOME! I captured Kurumi's second phase at max rank. Since you probably don't know, Kurumi's second phase at max rank is about as BS as Mystia's second non-spell card on lunatic. Through incredible luck, I got through all of stage 3 without dying (even capturing the blue spam of doom), and I only started losing lives at the BS midboss. It went downhill from there, but I still won 0/1, and most importantly...

I GOT THROUGH A WAVE OF YUKA'S FINAL ATTACK!

It was exploding, yes, but it still could have hit me, and I fit through a pixel-wide gap. THAT WAS SO COOL!

Oh, and to prove that slowdown doesn't affect me, I went through LLS extra. One death on the stage, I survived the random spam after the orb, perfected Mugetu, and only 2 deaths on Gengetu, having me clear 5/0 with no lag to give an excuse.

TILDE~

Story that just simply overshadows mine ;_;

I can vouch for Kurumi's 2nd phase, even at Hard Mode.

And maybe I should get working on LLS.

Awesome. I absolutely HATE that card. I've gotten through a couple waves, but never actually capped the damn thing.

Arcengal · « **Reply #351 on:** May 15, 2009, 09:34:34 AM »

I captured it once, and since then I just bomb it.

The most annoying part of the Youmu fight for me is Asura Sword L. I've captured it twice, but it's too much info for my brain to handle most of the time. Sticking the bottom helps, but it ends up being one of those cards where you have to watch the entire screen (a bit like Ran-2 in StB) or you get trapped.

LHCling · « **Reply #352 on:** May 15, 2009, 11:51:43 AM »

~~DDBB / DBDB~~ BSBS Lunatic timeout with one death.

Then... it crashed as I hit the save replay button ;_;

The card itself isn't that much of a step higher from Hard Mode. There's an extra calculation I have to do, and alter my play style a bit, but that's really it.

Still, on a few of my attempts, it formed an infamous thing you can call... "4-directional walling". Solid walls of 2-3 bullets from each of the NE, SE, SW, NW. I was even in the ideal position.

Zengeku · « **Reply #353 on:** May 15, 2009, 03:14:41 PM »

I captured Nitoris first spell on Lunatic. It really came as a surprise to me. I thought that card would be hard as hell but as it came out i ended up finding it quite trivial. Especially if it indeed is static.

Also. I did some VoWG grinding today. I gave it five attempts and i failed all of them but at least i realized that Source of Rains isn't that hard at all.

I also did some playing on Normal mode in EoSD. I had some spells of Patchouli's to capture. I had heard from my friend that Princess Undine was bullshit but it's not that bad really. Not on Normal that is! Just grazing some lasers slowly streaming the the side then dodge some bullets. I didn't understand the concept of the card at first so it took me two tries to beat it.

Oh and i'm starting to pick up some way to deal with Nitoris mid-boss spell. Maybe its not as bad as i thought. We'll see about it later.

Thats all i've got for now. I'm of to play some Godfather II. A game which difficulty is quite the opposite of Touhou. Still pretty enjoyable though.

Oh crap, 2 a.m.

Here is the answer. You handled the card well and avoided to get hit.

Here is one accomplishment of my own. I capped "the guests" at Lunatic. Awesome. Oh and that "Secretly Inherited Art of Danmaku" a couple times too in the process but thats card and the non-spell before it is pretty trivial anyway.

Azinth · « **Reply #356 on:** May 15, 2009, 09:37:18 PM »

I captured Catwalk! First attempt of the stage today and I got it! Hooray!

Next run, I captured Ghost Wheels! With 3.00 power! I kept misreading the wheels and getting driven out from under her, so the attack lasted a lot longer than it should have. Still, Hooray!

I also tried a few pacifist Utsuho runs, just to help get the hang of her attacks better (I might attempt pacifist Orin later if I'm feeling masochistic enough). The best I've done so far is one death to Nuclear Reaction, her 2nd/4th nonspells, and Hell's Tokamak, and two deaths to Peta Flare (guh, random card is random). Subterranean Sun is also pretty intense when timed out. ZUN should have had that be the entire duration of the card instead of just a bonus timeout thing. Maybe then it would have been a legitimately difficult final spell.

Still no DBDB capture...

Because Patchy randomly swerves to the side during some waves, the bubbles pretty much completely wall you off, then you can't get back over to Patchy because the lasers prevent you from moving again.

Okay, so how did I 1cc EoSD lunatic on THIS run? This run didn't deserve to have me 1cc it...but what do you know?

If nothing else, watch stage 6 for my performance on Eternal Meek. I know I should have been really angry for dying at the same time as it, but I just laughed. I guess my Scarlet Gensokyo performance was pretty good too, considering I went into it 0/1.

EDIT: Oh, also watch it for my victory dance. Every good lunatic 1cc needs a victory dance, and I showed how much I appreciated my clear by banging Marisa's head into the wall repeatedly.

On Normal mode? Well i haven't played it much as i'm usually playing ReimuA. Sometimes her movements makes the bullets much harder to manage but i haven't been presented with anything impossible on the Normal version yet.
