Touhou Accomplishments 15 - Virtue of Win God Edition

[I have no name]

9001 shots.

Seriously though, I spent the better part of 3 hours last night playing DS EX-6 to beat Seiga's time, and I only added 1000 shots at 60 FPS.
Doing some quick math and adjusting for time not spent in charge...Malkyrian, you spent about 12 hours playing that scene.

[PapillonReel]

And then there were none.

I... I can't stop shaking. Or laughing. Or laughing while shaking. It's just that, after taking the better part of three days, it's finally done! Thanks again to Malkyrian and I have no name for your help!

[Chuckolator]

But I finally did it! I FUCKING CAPTURED 10-6!

Wow. When you started your 90fps runs, did you ever think you'd make it this far? >_>

[Chalros22]

IT'S OVER!

IT'S FINALLY OVER!

FOUR THOUSAND SHOTS, it took me.

But I finally did it! I FUCKING CAPTURED 10-6!

Dude, really, wat. On another note, are you planning to do DS @ 90 fps after as well or are you taking a long hiatus from photo games

>_> <_< *backs away*

I have now spent another hour improving it further.  I got a 180.54 on attempt 3, shame it was a frame slower than yours.
However, I since beat that with a 180.70, and that has a slow rate of 0.000%!

I win.

I can hardly wait to get there at 90 FPS to begin the insanity anew! :getdown:

[Elysia]

Wow. When you started your 90fps runs, did you ever think you'd make it this far? >_>

I didn't think I'd make it to stage 7.

I don't own Double Spoiler.  :qq:

As for accomplishments...well, I've been playing through BoWaP for a while, and to my astonishment?

I am actually enjoying it. This is really fun.

And I'm improving quickly. Already got 4 shots a bunch of times, and getting 3 shots a good majority of the time.

After 10-6? This is NOTHING. 85 scenes clear, here I come.

PS: Congrats to Papillon! First extra clears are always awesome, and that Maze of Love capture looked so pro.

PS: Congrats to Papillon! First extra clears are always awesome, and that Maze of Love capture looked so pro.

Hee, thanks! The funny thing about Maze of Love is that I was having a really bad time of it at first - like, I'd lose a ton of bombs and a life or two and end up in a huge teeth-gnashing rage as a result. Then, during one attempt, it just clicked and oh hey now I can capture it all of a sudden how did that happen.

Four of a Kind is still a stupid jerk though. Damn it Flan, stop hiding behind your clones so I can shoot you!

One thing I've been wondering though: does rank have as much of an effect on the Extra stage as it does in story mode? As much trouble as Flandre and the stage gave me, I noticed that the difficulty was a lot more consistent than my Normal 1ccs were.

800 million point PCB Hard 1cc

Captured Reflowering as well.

Why does everyone get good at games at their second run through a difficulty?

It's certainly less noticeable than in the main game. I think most of the difference is slight changes in speed rather than additional bullets, and a lot of stuff is probably just unaffected. And congratulations. I remember what it's like to finally beat Flandre after days of practice.

[Karisa]

According to this post, rank only varies between 14 and 18 in Extra, as opposed to between 10 and 32 in the main game. Personally I've never even noticed it in Extra.

Speaking of EoSD Extra, I managed to complete it without bombing, something I've been going for in various Extra stages lately... and it would have been without dying as well if I hadn't randomly run into a bullet twice (pretty much the exact same thing that happened to me against Nue a few weeks ago). That makes three Extra stages that I know I can perfect but haven't yet.

[Elysia]

I have done it.

I have finally done it.

Boundary of Wave and Particle has been captured.

I have cleared every single scene in Shoot the Bullet at 90 FPS.

Holy bananas! That's some massive accomplishment, dude :dragonforce: So you're the first person who actually performed this, aren't you? Now make one hueg video of StB @ 90 fps in order to celebrate that fact.

[BT]

Yeah, grats, jeez. Did you count the number of hours dedicated to this?

Or, if you made a new score.dat just for this challenge, you can count the total pictures taken. :V

[Elysia]

I did make a new score.dat just for this. That's how I was able to keep track of which ones I'd cleared.

I'm too lazy to go back and count the total pictures, but here is a copy of the score.dat, so you can see for yourself.  :3

[Zengeku]

I have cleared every single scene in Shoot the Bullet at 90 FPS.

That's damn impressive man. I don't think I could ever match this persistence. Very good job. Really, you should put them all up in a video (or two). I remember you said that you suck at making video compilations but if you upload all the replays in an archive, i'm sure someone can make that video for you. I could probably do it too but I'm not sure if my hardware will allow me to record at 90FPS with Shoot the Bullet.

[Piranha]

It is done.

I finally cleared EoSD Extra. Started a while ago, but lost motivation at some point. After seeing Papillon and his Extra clear, I wanted to bring it to an end.

I forgot to shotgun Flandre at the beginning of Kagome Kagome, resulting in a death. Also, the reason why I never captured Maze of Love before is because I was always trying to do it focused...I couldn't handle MoL unfocused before, but now I could do it. Seems like I'm getting better.

Captured:
Silent Selene
Cranberry Trap
Lavatein
Maze of Love (for the first time!)
Deaths at:
Four Of A Kind
Kagome,Kagome
Counter Clock
Ripples of 495 Years

Oh and Congratulations at Papillon for your Extra clear and Malkyrian for the insane feat of beating StB on 90fps.
The last time I tried StB, I barely unlocked Level 5 :V  Time to try it again! :derp:
I can't get better If I don't try it :3

Ahh, I figured as much. I'm kind of glad, too; Flandre would've been a nightmare if you had to fight her with the difficulty swinging up and down and all over the place. That said, I wouldn't mind a version of the game that kept track of your current rank - it's the fact that it's hidden that hurts it the most, since you never really know which version of a card you'll be getting until it's too late.

I have done it.

Holyyyy-  Congratulations! That's incredible that you were able to pull that off. I'm still trying to figure out stage 5.

I should really get back to playing StB at some point. When I first tried it, I burnt out because the difficulty was higher than what I was expecting (though to be fair: it was my second bullet hell after GFW), but I think I might have a better chance at beating it once I work through the rest of the first Windows gen. Maybe! Just gotta keep trying.

Speaking of EoSD Extra, I managed to complete it without bombing, something I've been going for in various Extra stages lately... and it would have been without dying as well if I hadn't randomly run into a bullet twice (pretty much the exact same thing that happened to me against Nue a few weeks ago).

Aaand to continue the theme further, I even went and finished the stage again with MarisaA. Man, we're really giving Flandre a beating this week aren't we? :V But still: congrats!

Fucking hell man, I'll do it if you upload the replays.

This crazy shit deserves such a compilation.

Also, I got curious and decided to download the score.dat just to see how many shots it took you to fully clear this.

The end count? 26,146 shots. What the actual fuck, you're insane Malkyrian.


An achievement of my own.

A Ten Desires

Spoiler:

7cc

Lunatic clear.  :V

Weeeeee.

[xForeverFanaticx]

Fun times with Koishi~ Finally beat her Extra Stage :3 With 1.6 lives left over~

That, and I feel this as a personal accomplishment, I actually did fairly well on Philosophy of a Hated Person. The yellow part, I mean. Blue is easy.

[Esper]

[attach=1]

[attach=2]

Every stage up to 2-6 on Ultra.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I FUCKING DID IT

I CAPTURED "UNSEASONAL BUTTERFLY STORM"

[chirpy13]

Oh god, no deathbomb ultra mode is a million times better than deathbomb ultra.  So much more tension when you have to actually care about whether you get hit or not.  It's amazing!  Oh, er, accomplishments?  Made it up to first Prism spell on my first go with it :V.  So fun...

Side note for Zengy: you said you liked PCB aside from the fact that it was too easy right?  I think you know where I'm going with this ;3.

[チソウ タイゼン]

In wake of my th11score.dat deleting itself, I went and cleared Normal and Extra again.
Got 465 million, and 577 million.

It's interesting, having spellcard histories that reflect my current skill and not my progression.

It also produces some pretty odd situations, such as

Terrifying Hypnotism- 0 / 1
Flying Insect's Nest- 0 / 1
Border of Wave and Particle- 1 / 1

Cat Walk - 1 / 1
(Whatever Orin's final is) - 0 / 1

Fixed Star- 0 / 1
Heaven and Hell Meltdown- 0 / 1
Hell's Artificial Sun- 1 / 1

Ancestors- 0 / 2
Danmaku Paranoia- 0 / 2
Release of the Id - 2 / 2
Super-Ego - 2 / 2
Youkai Polygraph- 2 / 2
Embers of Love - 0 / 2

Why am I so backwards :getdown:

[Zengeku]

Side note for Zengy: you said you liked PCB aside from the fact that it was too easy right?  I think you know where I'm going with this ;3.

PCB was one of my favorites back when I was less skilled at danmaku games. I tried PCB Ultra but it turned Yuyuko's final spell into a pretty much undodgeable mess. I think that was the reason I quit playing it.

I guess I'll give it a shot again though. I kinda wanted to go for Fairy Wars Lunatic clears but that can be delayed for a while i suppose.

[Puffy]

UFO LUNATIC 1CC!

...Not. Well i was so close to clearing it, i managed to capture great devil's recitation or what ever its called and was ever so close to capturing Vajra. I think stage 5 has let me down the most, but now that i've unlocked it, it should be no problem with practice start, then bomb the shit out of stage 6.

UFO really forces players to utilise Practice Start. Whereas others...Maybe SA and MoF, don't need to and it's possible to get a decent score and clear it at the same time.

Well having not playing Touhou alot, and only use practice start like 3 times a week, what do you think, or well tips of 'what i could have done better'?

[Zengeku]

UFO really forces players to utilise Practice Start. Whereas others...Maybe SA and MoF, don't need to and it's possible to get a decent score and clear it at the same time.

That depends very largely on what you consider a decent score. At least for SA. Close call with that UFO run. You'll win soon enough.

UFO LUNATIC 1CC!

[Skyler]

I'm trying to time out Fujiyama Volcano for the lulz and I got down to 06 seconds.
I could definitely do this if I could be bothered to spend a lot of time on it, but I got bored pretty quickly. Maybe later.

[Seppo Hovi]

I have cleared every single scene in Shoot the Bullet at 90 FPS.

Great work. I'm impressed.  :toot:


Slowdown and a bomb were getting on my way last time. It's good that I redeemed my honors before Anonymous returned from his absentness. He would have been disappointed, I'm sure.

It seemed completely possible the last time I looked into it. Maybe the patch has been altered?

[chirpy13]

PCB Ultra-Hard clear

Yuyuko was a trainwreck

[Puffy]

Haha, thanks though i haven't actually done it yet, but thanks for the cheers.

Thanks! I usually call a decent score when i hit the billions, and that usually goes for all Windows-based Touhou games, with the exception of IN and EoSD. For the case of UFO, i don't think i'll be doing that for some time, maybe 500 million sounds reasonable.  :V
