Blargh, this recent layoff from Touhou has made me uncomfortable with FIN again, and I died on it in pretty stupid fashion in my latest 1lc attempt. I'm beginning to question if I'll have this done in time for my 3-year anniversary on the 7th.

I did all my TD accomplishments on version 1.00a, so most people won't be able to watch them. I didn't even remeber that I should patch so avoid desync. So I am feeling pretty stupid right now.

Ah hell, I might upload some of the replays anyways.

ふねん1 · « **Reply #662 on:** November 03, 2012, 11:44:24 PM »

I just died to the lead-up to midboss-Wriggle twice in a row.

I know the solution to getting rid of rust is to simply keep on playing, but for multiple reasons I just don't feel like doing anything Touhou related right now.

Wiped out on Ichirin with SanaeB. How do people play this? This time, instead of making adjustments to the stage portions, I'll have to scrap it all and take a completely new approach. What a bother.

RNG · « **Reply #664 on:** November 04, 2012, 07:17:53 PM »

Dude, watch my SanaeB clear replay. I don't know how I managed it, considering I had 3 lives exiting stage 2, but the survival strats in there might help.

Sure, sure, stage 3 is slightly harder since you can't trivialize the middle portion since SanaeB doesn't have enough power to immediately snipe the fairies that come down, but she'll trivialize stages 4, part of stage 5, and pretty much all of stage 6, leading to less aggravating/stupid deaths. SanaeB's a net positive... Probably.

And not to mention SanaeB probably has one of the most amazing bombs in the entire game. Saves your life in stage 4/5/6 when 85% of your screen is covered in bullets.

How can I be so bad at IN Stage 3? I only captured one spell in the whole stage, and bombed so much it wasn't even funny. :colonveeplusalpha:

Yatakarasu · « **Reply #668 on:** November 05, 2012, 04:41:29 AM »

Stage 3 of IN gave me the most problems for the longest time, then I suddenly got it. Now stage 4 is the one to give me all the pains.

How can I fail so many times at EX Sanae in SA?!

ofnesljklw IN stage 3 is easy, doing it un-focused most of the time with border team was easy. But Raymoo and Mareesa can go fuck theirselfes. Once I had to use two continues on the boss fight.

Especially Marisa...so many bullets.... they're everywhere, and no method to their madness :qq:

Well, what can be more fail than playing IN for consecutive 5 hours, and on my final run after my second-to-last perfect run on 6a...

[Goes for run with Reimu for 6b Normal]
>Dies to Wriggle Kick
>Gets owned by Lorelei's Final Spellcard [No not last spell]
>Accidentally bombed on Stage 3 after I have cleared Keine's Danmaku wave
>Fights Marisa: Dies 2 times to the most stupid 2 spells: Stardust Reverie and Master Spark. Seriously, this was the only time I never died to Milky Way THEN THIS.
>Fights Reisen. Gets owned by Invisible Full Moon and the Fairy at the doorstep of this stage [Currently at 0 Lives]
>Dies during Reisen's Final Attack resulting in a double KO >Game Over<
>Somehow presses "Return to Title" instead of "Continue"

I rage.

Also, not really the traditional Touhou...
>Perfect Run [Not getting hit, only block/graze] the whole of Sanae's story mode on Normal
>Proceeds to be unable to complete "Divine Battle above Gensokyo"

Raeg.

I did not beat UFO Extra on my first try. Even worse I died to Danmaku Snake Show.

LadyScarlet · « **Reply #673 on:** November 07, 2012, 04:16:57 AM »

Oh my god, Marisa... I use up my continue on either her or Reisen. And Reisen is one of the easier stage 5 bosses ;_;

Getting that far on your first try is good in my books. Extras are all memo, after all.

RNG · « **Reply #675 on:** November 07, 2012, 04:29:31 AM »

No, I made it to Heiankyou Nighmare, but the fact that I didn't cap snake show is...

LadyScarlet · « **Reply #676 on:** November 07, 2012, 04:32:36 AM »

Another bad IN stage 3 run. This time I died TWICE to Keine's final spell and had something like this:
Ran: Hey Yukari, let's fly up to the familiar that's shooting bullets in Keine's third spell card!
Yukari: Great idea!

5 Byakuren matches. They went pretty badly. I'm not gonna be satisfied with this before I can reliably pull off 1MNB runs and I'm not quite there yet.

Posting here because I fucked up Byakuren's 2nd non four times today. I normally don't fuck it up at all. Pretty lame on my part. Also, failed LFO two times today and that's pretty embarassing now that I know how to deal with it.

And oh god Good Omen, I still don't know how I'm supposed to consistently capture you. Same thing with Devils Recitation. It's embarassing as hell how much I fuck that card up.

- Oh well, had bad sleep last night so at least I have an excuse.

3 lives into Orin. Died twice on her opener.

I swear I didn't get why people always complained about Marisa. I used to play IN on easy, and Reimu was to me way harder than Marisa.

Theeeen, I did a Normal run. Oh god now I miss Reimu's insanely easy to dodge non-spells. I'd trade those rings of stars that ''OOPS IMMA CHANGE DIRECTIONS RANDOMLY LOL'' for those shotgun blasts of amulets anytime.

Sounds about right for Orin.

I swear I will never capture Murasa's survival card. -SIGH-

Which is pretty much why I always use the safespot. I really hate the idea of losing a potential 1cc because I clipped something in a ridiculously easy pattern.

Now try Reimu and Marisa on Lunatic. You'll never ever want to play as Magic/Netherworld team again.

Goldom · « **Reply #682 on:** November 08, 2012, 06:31:15 AM »

Really? I find Reimu easier on every difficulty except maybe Hard, where Marisa is frankly easier than on Normal (half her spells don't change much at all, but Starlight Typhoon and Shoot the Moon are easier on hard than their Normal versions imo).

BT · « **Reply #683 on:** November 08, 2012, 09:31:56 AM »

Man, I wish EoSD had replays without the extra hassle. I just had the most beautiful Scarlet Meister capture... followed by me going to the PoC and sidestepping into Remilia~ It was amazing.

I like my English patch. That said, that's really more of a bad excuse, I'm mostly lazy when it comes to these things.

I find her slightly harder on easy mode, but that's just because she doesn't change much; Fantasy Seal - Spread is just as deadly and Marisa's now much less dense stars barrages are more or less of a joke.

Goldom · « **Reply #687 on:** November 10, 2012, 01:12:53 AM »

I just played EoSD Extra and failed every single spell except Lavatein... and still cleared it. I fail this stage 75% of the time even while capping about half the cards. I don't know about this. :wat:

On the plus side, I came within a second of getting Royal Flare for the first time with Reimu, but got cornered at the last moment.

Goldom · « **Reply #688 on:** November 10, 2012, 01:14:16 AM »

edit: I'm an idiot and hit quote instead of modify.

Sooo modifying this useless post into some sort of content: It's really weird about EoSD Extra. By all rights, its spells look WAY easier than any of the other extra stages. They're super spread out, and pretty slow, with the exception of Maze of Love and QED. But there's just something about it that makes me fail all the time. I dunno if its slightly different hitboxes (though I'm not sure any really are except bubbles), or just the really short deathbomb window or what.

Sakurei · « **Reply #689 on:** November 10, 2012, 10:26:57 AM »

game over'd while trying to NMNB GFW extra :V god, that was a horrible, yet hilarious run. I wouldn't want it to be repeated, though. also I fail at miko. always something different, but it's always something. derp. WELL

also, ichirin and her stage. SO MUCH FAILURE :V god, why am I so bad at this? I die to kraken, I capture everything else, I capture kraken, I die to hook combo, I capture those two, I die to old man's scolding. what the hell is wrong with me?
