Touhou Accomplishments 15 - Virtue of Win God Edition

Reds are better. Just trust me they are. :I

About UFO, I've recently managed to unlock stage 5 and 6 on Lunatic. I guess this replay could help give people an idea of what it takes to complete stage 6 using continues-- the main issue is surviving Legendary Flying Saucer. (Stages 4 and 5 should be easy enough to bomb your way through if you concentrate on summoning/filling/destroying red UFOs and not dying with bombs remaining.)

By the way, I've found UFO to be noticeably more difficult than SA on all difficulties. The main issue for me is that in UFO, one mistake on the UFO chain (collecting the wrong color small UFO or letting a large UFO escape) can cost you half a life, and perhaps an additional bomb as well (if you needed the screen clear from destroying a UFO to avoid bombing). SA isn't anywhere near as strict with its resources since the life parts take very little effort to collect in most cases, and although dying on a boss phase does cost you a life part, you're still nearly guaranteed to get at least 40 of the 50 life parts by the end of the game (unless you let life parts drop or time out boss phases). You also only get two bombs per life in UFO, while you can generally bomb more than twice per life in SA due to power item drops; I think this compensates for any advantage that UFO's more powerful bombs might give.

Alright, C2 clear, that's all routes cleared on Hard Mode in GFW! Next is Lunatic, then I'll finally tackle Extra (only took a quick look at it, but the stage blew my mind).

[Makai Butterfly]

Woo!! I finally achieved my first 1LC of a game tonight, and it wasn't one that I expected.  SA Easy with ReimuB.  Strange considering it was the first time I played SA on Easy in weeks. Replay.

Well, I always thought so, i usually only get greens on stage 6. But then again I play on normal so don't listen to me :O

I go reds for the first 4 stages, then greens for stages 5 and 6, but if I manage to max out my lives during or before stage 4, then I just go for greens.

[Puffy]

this is a small accomplishment, but i managed to get to stage 4 on lunatic in ufo, with no practice. But stage 4 through me off, the stage portion was 'ok' it could have been better, i felt i did some good ufo manipulations. Murasa caught me off, especially her final non spell since i haven't seen it nor done it before.

[Lepetit89]

I still say it depends on your playstyle; if you'd rather have a run you can calculate, leaving only patterns you know you can deal with for the most part, go for greens, you'll be able to at least get the amount of lives you need to max out assuming you don't get any misses, though this only works under the assumption that you don't make mistakes - nonetheless, you still have room for mistakes.

If you'd rather rely on your overall ability and you know you can squeeze out a lot of air if you're working with no Bombs, go for reds, you'll definitely have a better time. I just hate the loss of Power.

[チソウ タイゼン]

>is more than a typical PCB run for me

I finally cleared SP-9 without focus  :toot:

Reds are better for survival, blues are better for score.  Going only for reds can get you up to 17 lives through the whole game.

[Chalros22]

Um, fair enough but this debate was between red and green lol.

[Elysia]

I did it.

It took me 7741 photos, but I finally did it.

I captured Seamless Ceiling of Kinkaku-ji at 90 FPS.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to let the sheer magnitude of what I just accomplished actually sink in.

[Chalros22]

It took me 7741 photos, but I finally did it.

Well, I've heard of people taking more to clear it at 60 FPS so that's pretty damn good i guess. Looks like you got pretty lucky on the last phase to have it that wide open cause I know I've never seen it have that much space.

[Chuckolator]

Impressive. What haven't you done yet?

Holy shit! Congrats, man, that's pretty amazing.

[MMX]

Meanwhile a rather small accomplishment. I went to TD spell practice and finally captured Tongling Yoshika lunatic. 1/15 with Reimu, 1/19 with Marisa. This card is so much fun.

[Naut]

Break 1 billion yet? It'll only take two blue ufos.

[Chalros22]

Finally finished all the normal clears with all characters and shot types. Geez that took too long. Let's see, what should I do next, SA hard or UFO hard since those are my only hard modes left to do.

Edit: Decided on UFO for now at least. Managed to unlock all the stages for practice tonight though I had played through stage 3 before. Took about 10 continues to beat Murasa, 10-15 to clear Shou and like 30 to clear Byakuren. Most of those were intentional suicides though because I was trying to no-death the stages for optimal boss killing potential.

Either going to try and unlock all the SA stages next or actually try and practice UFO hard.

[Random]

1065 point items in IN Extra with Alice Solo. That's 3 more than ASL's run with the same character.

I guess that's an achievement... :V

[The Greatest Dog]

asdfadgsasdf
UFO Hard 1cc, ReimuA.
Only with 7 lives in stock and ND1B Byakuren.

When did I get this good suddenly?
(Also I think I'm doing Aura of Justice wrong. I went through one of the walls...)

[SuccinctAndPunchy]

WHAT

[Zengeku]

When did I get this good suddenly?

I dunno, you certainly surprised me. Congrats on that awesome run mate.

[The Greatest Dog]

In retrospect, I think it was about the time when I NDNB'd Byakuren during a Normal 1cc, with 8 spare lives in reserve that I decided to try Hard mode a whirl...

oh gawd ufo lunatic

[Zengeku]

Well in any case, doing what you did with Hard is infinitely more worth than a perfect run of Normal. So just pat yourself on your back.

[Seppo Hovi]

Great job, lads. Especially you, Malky, with that :toot: worth StB-cap!

Have you considered timing out SFN at 90fps? Or without focus

[chirpy13]

Not as cool as that 90fps cap, but I decided to cap STB 9-6 for the first time and got it in only 134 shots :V.

[Chalros22]

Well thats about 10% the shots it took me

[Puffy]

Wuuuuuuuuuut!? I just safespotted and cleared Kogasa's first spell. That looks cool, need to do that more often instead of wasting a bomb on it or a life.

Right below Kogasa, right? Graze is delicious :3
