I tried MoF on hard for the first time, game over at first boss... Enough said... You know what? I'm calling it a day... This is one of those days when EVERYTHING goes wrong... I wasn't in a good mood anyway...... Ffffuuu......

Game Over'd to Flying Fantastica.

Sanae A, your shot is bad and you should feel bad.

Couldn't even beat two of my High Scores from January 2010 in SA, too many derps certainly wrecked my scores with Reimu A and Reimu C. The other High Scores were so bad, it would have been hard not to improve them.

Which reminds me, Parsee's second Spellcard is not the best one to finally figure out how to switch shottypes with Marisa B. Switched from forward shot to the one that covers almost the entire screen and the second Parsee went completely berserk until I figured out what caused me to switch shottypes.
Still need more practice, but it's hard to get a real feel for a character if I only play it once. Guess that won't happen until I get to Hard Mode.

You know, it's been eons since I've attempted SA Extra. Let's see how I do.

*perfects absolutely everything up to Genetics for the first time ever*

oh crap how do i do this card again

*dies three times to it*

:fail:

90 FPS Koishi is impossible, she's way more clippy than she is in a no-focus run. :V

Lepetit89 · « **Reply #756 on:** November 30, 2012, 05:38:32 PM »

Glorious TD Normal run with Youmu, who's probably one of the coolest shottypes I've seen so far. Three Misses in Stage 2, then one to Yoshika during her second Spellcard. That one would have been the Game Over had I not managed to finish the Spellcard roughly 0,1 seconds before the Trance timer ran out. After that, I started a comeback and just concentrated on what was going on, less on charging and those awesome abilities and what not and simply did not get hit anymore (though I certainly used quite a few Bombs because I didn't want to take any risks).

I'm having a hard time getting used to her, but I'm really looking forward to seeing how I can make use of her abilities to find efficient routes through the individual stages.

died once in suwapyon (2012) extra stage. after reaching 3/4 of the boss fight without a death I thought I coul do it. I forgot about the 2nd last spellcard. that thing is way too fast for me too read.but apparently I captured it once and I can't remember ever dodging anything on it. a shame, but a 1D run on it is already pretty good, I think. I still got hit 27 times :V this game's system is so silly. also capured all of 1 spellcard thorough the fight.

Byronyello · « **Reply #758 on:** December 01, 2012, 11:43:34 PM »

This is less of a problem with my skill, and more of a problem with my jumpy cat.

My cat (whom I affectionately call Chen), was sitting on my lap while I was playing LLS stage 5 Yuuka. While I was concentrating, the door opened and out came my other cat (...whom I affectionately call Orin) which caused Chen to run off my lap to get to Orin. I tried to stop her, because she's not really friends with Orin, and she often gets into fights with him. Obviously, trying to catch a cat while playing Touhou is not really a good idea, and I lost my last life and, of course, I had a bomb in stock as well.

Yatakarasu · « **Reply #759 on:** December 02, 2012, 03:16:15 AM »

So I was bored last night and did a pacifist run of TD easy. And I mean fully pacifist, no shooting even during the stage. It was going great (didn't die or even bomb), until stage 4 and Seiga's knives. :ohdear:

It definitely is. I 1cced Normal blind and fought the TLB as well. And I got hit about, what, 60+ times across the whole game? Yeah, silly doesn't even begin to describe it.

RNG · « **Reply #761 on:** December 02, 2012, 05:11:12 AM »

Ublgh

I either have days where I do great or I barely even manage to reach Tongling Yoshika. Seiga's second non is solved now though.

I'm playing through Double Spoiler again and here's a video of my attempt at 8-3

fsvgm777 · « **Reply #763 on:** December 03, 2012, 03:00:55 PM »

Remember when I said that I could consistently capture BoWaP on Normal without using the safespot?

Well, apparently, now I can't anymore, since I have to die to a random bullet every time now.

On that note, I had one of the worst SA Normal Stage 5 runs ever. 2 deaths to the stage, 2 (3?) deaths to Orin.

SPEAKING OF ORIN (the bane of everyone's existence)! I almost captured "Spleen Eater," then I failed at the very last possible second. :getdown:

チソウ タイゼン · « **Reply #767 on:** December 03, 2012, 06:27:46 PM »

That is an inevitability, friend.

I remember the last Pacifist run I attempted, TD Hard it was. BOMB ALL THE PATTERNS. ALL AT 00 SECONDS. THIS IS HOW WE PLAY TOUHOU.

Piranha · « **Reply #768 on:** December 04, 2012, 05:21:01 PM »

Played EoSD again after what feels like an eternity.
I entered Stage 5 with only 1 extra life left and gameovered to Red Magic. :derp:

Still surprised I got through Stage 5 and Sakuya after that many fuckups in the earlier stages.

Nindella · « **Reply #769 on:** December 05, 2012, 12:03:51 AM »

Keep failing to reach stage 6 of SA 90fps ultra lunatic :ohdear:

Keep making stupid mistakes everywhere! Urghh...

Sakurei · « **Reply #770 on:** December 05, 2012, 04:00:58 PM »

horrible horrible 90 fps EoSD extra run. I died twice before I even made it to patchy (somehow). went into the flandre fight with 2/0

perfected everything up to maze of love. died 2 horrible deaths to it, only to game over on the non after starbow break, which is pure dope on 90 fps. just saying. I can definitely clear Flandre on this speed. I just have to actually use my resources.

RNG · « **Reply #771 on:** December 06, 2012, 01:00:49 AM »

Wow jesus fuck i can't even do charged yahoo consistently anymore. I mean, I keep standing right under kyouko at the last wave and getting greedy to finish it and shit blow up in my face :derp:

And I keep dying to the stages. I think i'm just not good enough for this game. If I get a run past Seiga it'll go far, guaranteed, but that hasn't been happening very often. Since that one fucking run I haven't even seen Stage 5 once...

OTOH I captured Iwafune 3 times in a row. It's not too hard.

Sakurei · « **Reply #772 on:** December 07, 2012, 01:51:05 AM »

oh god, that was hilarious. horrible horrible UFO extra. even failed the survival spell, but man. it still broke the highscore because I actually summoned UFOs this time :V

I left the stage with 1 life to spare. that should never happen. ever.

Just take a break. I get the feeling you're putting a tad too much pressure on yourself because of previous experience (i.e. Oh my God I've done this before perfectly a million times why am I dying here now oh wait I did it again even though I shouldn't be argghhhhh). Perhaps not exactly like that, but similar. It's a vicious cycle to enter, kind of like a slump. Just take a breather and come back again with a fresh mind. Perhaps try something with a different game. I know that the UFO choreographed stages got ingrained into my head like a taunt when I played it too many times (around 75-100 times without switching to another Touhou game so... yeah), and it pissed me off to no end. Breathe... Breathe.

And yeah contrary to what I thought before, Iwafune isn't tough. It's like a much easier version of Aya's Storm Day. You just have to find the area of least bullet density, and it's usually around the same place on the screen each time. It could be worse.

Sakurei · « **Reply #774 on:** December 07, 2012, 02:38:32 AM »

iwafune not too hard :V say that to my history. it's something like 3/60 or so. I can't handle that thing.

then again, my PWG history is something like 15/120, too.

RNG · « **Reply #775 on:** December 07, 2012, 02:58:07 AM »

Well. Made it to Futo again on a really shitty run. I'm definitely improving - 1 death on Seiga and a total trainwreck on Yoshika, but the real derp here was Stage 5. I decided to handle the ghost circles from the bottom left corner instead of the center. That left me out of position to handle the last 13 fairies and I pretty much got fucked. Going into Futo with 3 power and no trance is... it's not very nice.

Here's the replay.

Heh I just tried it again in spell practice. Yeah it's not too bad. About 9 tries to find my danmaku legs again (haven't played in a few days to a week or so) and then in my next 10 tries, 3 captures, 4 times of almost doing it but dying to something I felt I shouldn't have (in that I saw the bullet and knew how to move to dodge it, but somehow failed) and 3 tries of "why did I move that way and give myself a much harder situation to dodge?". So yeah, definitely not that hard. After figuring it out again, I never got blind sided by a bullet. It was just me being silly. So yeah, a bit of practice and it doesn't become too hard.

Watched it, and those were an unfortunate 2 deaths on Yoshika's non-spells and Iwafune. At this point it's about acquiring enough familiarity (and a bit of luck) so you can string all those individually not too tough parts together. I think it's a matter of enough practice so that doesn't happen as often. Like in my first UFO 1cc, I bombed my way past Ichirin and Murasa for the most part. Now I use significantly less resources on a more consistent basis. Once you get familiar with everything, the mistakes will go down. Keep at it!

RNG · « **Reply #777 on:** December 07, 2012, 04:43:45 AM »

Indeed they were unfortunate. In two of those three cases, I wasn't actually looking where I was going at all. Yoshika's second non I was looking up at where she had just moved. Bad idea.

Every time I fail Zouhuo Rumo, god kills a kitten :|

*Death*

Win at 0/0.

I don't even have an excuse for deaths 2 and 3, it was just pathetic.

*and here's the fun part, I checked my record and it wasn't even my actual first time getting Heiankyou.
