Question!

What arranged theme do you like best?

What I mean is what theme from the Touhou series do you like the remixes of best, and if so, state which ones.

My favorite is Satori Maiden ~ 3rd Eye, favorite arrangement being Perverseness.

U.N. Owen Was Her? just sounds great no matter what (even as an automated Super Mario World level). One of my favourite arrangements is actually the one from Touhou RPG, which many people seem to hate. The other one is Common State of Innocent Violence by Crow'sClaw.

Eastern Youkai Beauty.

The arrange of Eastern Youkai Beauty present in Labyrinth of Touhou had me headbanging throughout most of the fight. Great song for a climatic battle.

Got several ones for this... Broken moon, border of life, and nuclear fusion are the contenders. lol why do final boss themes have best arranges :3

I only listen to OSTs, so

Remix: SWR's Evening Star. It's all over the place and yet it's really catchy. Honorable mention to IaMP Hiroari and anything Hisoutensoku has.

Meh. Final (and Extra) boss themes are usually complete misses with me, only (somewhat) working in-game. They do well with building tension but nearly all of them are repetitive, and artists too often ignore this and make painfully drawn-out arrangements.

Anyway.

The correct answer is Victory Demonstration, which is from PoDD. Per CDWiki, there are exactly three arrangements of it, but one of those must be ignored because it uses a second theme, and another one must be discounted because it is a mere twelve seconds long and thus hardly a musical piece on its own. The one remaining arrangement is flap+frog's "peace with the humans is NOT POSSIBLE." (from the album "dominoes e.p."), which is fan(fare)tastic.

Therefore, Victory Demonstration has a 100% rate of awesome arrangementnessicity.

Beat that.

Nuclear fusion
It is heavily underrated IMO. :V

Edit: If I confuse anyone, by nuclear fusion I mean the remixed version in UNL. Or maybe I misunderstand the question? Since I thought pretty much all themes in Touhou are remixed by someone, just not official :blush:

OK I think I get the question: Comic Mind Emotional skyscraper, because it is like the only song that all remixes sound really good ~~even that one in the music album~~

Star King · « **Reply #97 on:** May 22, 2012, 02:10:06 PM »

Septette for the Dead Princess. The original was OK, but something about the instruments or something feels a bit off to me. But to me the melody has great potential, and arrangements usually bring that out.

One notable one to me is "Linen" by White Elephant - and I'm usually not a big fan of vocal arrangements.

Zil · « **Reply #98 on:** May 22, 2012, 03:05:32 PM »

I've said it before, I'm generally underwhelmed by Touhou arrangements. In particular my favorite songs tend to lose the attributes that I like most about them. I realize, of course, that part of the idea behind arrangements is to change the song into something else, so perhaps that's to be expected. (And it would be a lie to say that I've delved into the world of arrangements to any significant depth in the first place.)

Anyway, I do like piano arrangements, as well as the occasional "8-bit remix." A lot of them don't translate well to piano though, so I guess my choices are still a bit limited. I'll say Third Eye. It loses some it's intensity, but it's complex enough to not sound empty.

I have to wonder what makes you say this. Nuclear Fusion strikes me as being one of the most commonly remixed songs out there.

On the other hand you have songs that pretty much require arrangements.

I don't know what I would do without Cosmic Mind arragements.

What do you consider your greatest achievement within the games?

Shoot the Bullet, enough said really.

Though perfecting PCB Extra comes pretty close.

Zil · « **Reply #102 on:** May 22, 2012, 07:28:02 PM »

Having decided that the only one I'm going to play anymore is PoDD. And maybe PoFV.

e: And having beaten said game with all characters, as well as breaking 60 million scorewise.

I have no name · « **Reply #103 on:** May 22, 2012, 07:28:35 PM »

Even though I did it so long ago, still perfect MoF extra.

Although perfect MoF stage 4 lunatic comes close.

Esper · « **Reply #104 on:** May 22, 2012, 07:31:54 PM »

My UFO ReimuA NoFocus 1cc, my UFO ReimuA NoUFO 1cc, and my IN Lunatic 1cc.

ARF · « **Reply #105 on:** May 22, 2012, 07:36:00 PM »

Dodging the UFO stage 4 opener, not because it's difficult but rather because of the pretty patterns it makes when you do it like that.

Zodiac · « **Reply #106 on:** May 22, 2012, 07:36:35 PM »

PCB lunatic 1.47b ... It isn't really that good ,but it's my greatest achievement~

Chuckolator · « **Reply #107 on:** May 22, 2012, 07:44:51 PM »

MoF Lunatic 1cc, though it isn't my greatest feeling because I finished with two lives. >_>

MMX · « **Reply #108 on:** May 22, 2012, 08:06:05 PM »

Best song to arrange - Desire Drive, especially the instumental way

My best touhou achievement - Ten Desires hard no bombs 1CC :dragonforce:

Karisa · « **Reply #109 on:** May 22, 2012, 09:29:51 PM »

My best achievement? Generally, the most recent one. I always seem to get excited for a while about whatever I just achieved, whether it was a new 1cc, a challenge of some kind, improving a high score, or what. Then it dies down, and I need to accomplish something else to feel like I've achieved something.

ふねん1 · « **Reply #110 on:** May 22, 2012, 09:47:51 PM »

My MoF Lunatic no-bombs 1cc. Mostly because of the way I pulled it off, perfecting 5 of the 6 stages (all but Stage 4) in one run.

Piranha · « **Reply #111 on:** May 22, 2012, 10:14:48 PM »

My EoSD Extra clear. :derp:

Perfecting every boss on lunatic. It was crazy to actually achieve something that big.

Best individual achievement will always be my PoDD lunatic 1cc. That was something special. I'll never forget my reaction when Yumemi went down.

Ridley 64 · « **Reply #113 on:** May 23, 2012, 12:16:57 AM »

PoFV Lunatic 1cc with Marisa. I'm also happy with this Normal run where I no-missed Komachi and Round 2 Shiki, and this UFO Normal run where I perfected Stage 5 (which I only tried 'cause I was out of bombs the whole time :V)

Esper · « **Reply #114 on:** May 23, 2012, 12:20:58 AM »

Actually, change my choice from my IN Lunatic 1cc to my NoDeath MoF Extra clear.

Muh. Request deletion.

Kliff · « **Reply #116 on:** May 23, 2012, 01:11:00 AM »

My greatest accomplishment to date? In my mind that would either be clearing the entire series (sans Great Fairy Wars, currently) on Normal... or capturing every single one of IN's Last Words.

Random · « **Reply #117 on:** May 23, 2012, 02:41:26 AM »

in easy 1cc

Ranko Hoshino · « **Reply #118 on:** May 23, 2012, 03:53:32 PM »

My perfect easy clears are awesome, and so is my one (IN) Extra clear.

SuccinctAndPunchy · « **Reply #119 on:** May 23, 2012, 04:53:48 PM »

90 FPS Clear of Vague Recollections of Kinkaku Ji.

It better bloody well be my greatest achievement, it took me long enough to do.
