it's nothing really astounding, but if I lose a perfect to futo, it's because of it. it's a fun spell, and I thought timing it out would be a better help than capturing it, due to the amount of time I spend in the spell itself :V of course I am talking about iwafune's ascend.
timing it out is easier than capturing :v took the whole 5 attempts.

Ex Nue's Second Spell - No Focus Timeout

YES

Obligatory "but I had cool dodges in other runs" comment.

Reply to the above: Iwafune took essentially forever to timeout when I tried it. I'd say it's more astounding than you give it credit for. :V

Finall-freaking-ly.

Perfect Run of Stage 5 Touhou 11 Lunatic, No Miss, No Bomb, No Gaps, No Trivialising Popcorn section.

Also, included is a No-Focus No Vertical (bottom of the screen) of the Blue Ying-Yang section at the start of the stage, purely because after 30hours and 3000+ restarts I was more than able to do it and why the hell not.



I shall now cuddle the hell out of my Orin Plushie and cry sweet tears of joy.

My history of Vengeful Cat Spirit's Erratic Step as of now is 173/688.  It's pretty amazing how many runs were ended before it by the nons etc. 


Even I still call it Cat Walk in my head though, haha.

Congrats on the stage 5 perfect! Orin gives me fits even on hard and I haven't even touched lunatic in that game yet.

But anyway since Seiga told me on youtube to perfect stage 4A lunatic with a team that actually faces Reimu, I did some spell practice and managed to capture all of her cards. Blink was by far the longest to get right with about 35 attempts. Going to need a lot of practice on her 2nd nonspell though.

As a bonus:

I did a timeout of demon binding ring

Also I captured Super Duplex Barrier like a real man in this replay.

I was trying to do Hakurei Danmaku Bounded Field by running a circle around Reimu but I gave up on that.

This is why I avoid spell practice though, I spend too much time goofing off and trying to do stupid/weird things lol

EDIT: Played some LLS tonight. Got perfect Marisa and Stg 5 Yuuka hard (though neither were max rank  :() Also finally cleared extra, my first of the PC-98 extras. Of course in typical style i cleared it with 3 lives left O.O with a perfect Mugetsu (also not max rank) and a capture of gengetu's spark phase.
« Last Edit: September 26, 2012, 04:35:22 AM by Chalros22 »
Current Goals: Clear all games on hard with every shottype (or team, not all solos in IN)

Remaining: EoSD 0, PCB 3, IN 0, MoF 3 (Marisa B doesn't count), SA 4, UFO all B types, TD Youmu, total 14.

After losing my last two extra lives to Orin's first non I was pretty sure I'd gameover instantly on the first card or something.

Instead I made it to the wheels thing, which has a name I don't know. Maybe, if I can figure out how the final card works, I'll finish this. Maybe. Other stuff, for now.

GFW Route B-1 Lunatic 1cc, score of 54,214,520.

EDIT: I made a massive miscalculation in determining my final score, one worthy of the derp thread, I think. So this wasn't the highest I've ever scored in GFW after all.

GFW Route B-1 Lunatic 1cc, score of 64,114,520.

The replay will show a lower score, but that's because that end-of-game glitch struck again - I do still get past everything on one credit. This is notable for me since it is, as far as I can remember, the highest I've scored on any route in this game, including Extra. And on one of the hardest routes in the game, at that.

Beautiful. Is that a known tactic?

Did you take Sunny's final spellcard from the bottom half of the screen instead of the top half on purpose?

It's been known for a really long time, yeah. And I'm not that strict about where I tackle Sunny's last card - since it covers almost the whole screen I like to bomb it for more freeze.

HA! I BEAT YOU ORIN! Okuu isn't the final boss of this game. Orin is. SO many runs lost to Orin. I thought Satori was hard before... Nah you just need to get used to her then she's cake (except for Deep Mist Labyrinth. I hate that card). Everything in this game is like 20x harder without ReimuA's insane power and insanely strong bomb. I'm shivering so much right now out of pure joy. It's taken me roughly the same number of attempts at a ReimuB 1cc as opposed to ReimuA. Wow I just... God. 4 more shot types to go!

PoFV Hard 1cc.

So many runs were brutally murdered by Shikieiki...
Lost 1 life to Marisa, 0 to Aya (yay !), 2 to Komachi (meh) and 2 to Shiki.
Used Reimu because homing attacks are cool and I can't micrododge with Marisa.

Been a while since I contributed to this thread. I was up to some speed-boosted crap runs again, this time in PCB Extra. I think I'll mention them.

90fps - 1-miss, no-bomb, no border breaks. The death was to Unilateral Contact. I guess I could "perfect" it at that speed if I tried enough times. I won't, however.

120fps - Managed a crummy clear. Lost lots of of bombs because I felt like "trying to dodge" things. I cleared with an extra life left.

150fps - I reached Shikigami Chen.  I might be able to clear the stage at that speed, but again, it's not worth the time. Maybe ReimuA would make it easier (I used B), since the nonspells are the hardest part, and her bomb can deal with them more quickly.

Not really accomplishments in the end, and I'm not planning on retrying them. That's why I'm mentioning them here: to get them off my mind.


ReimuA's... insanely strong bomb.
Eh? What planet are you on? Well, whatever. Good luck with the other four shots. They only get worse as you go.

Thanks everyone!

I'm pretty sure ReimuA's is one of the stronger bombs in the game compared with the others. The only one that is definitely better is ReimuC's. The reason why I consider it "insanely strong" is because, like ReimuC, it gives a pretty lengthy period of full invincibility, plus screen clearing capabilities. You don't get that with ReimuB, MarisaA, or MarisaC, which cleanly places it as one of the better bombs of the game, especially considering how weak the other bombs are. You can straight out skip a lot of cards with that bomb. By comparison, you don't have that luxury with the other bombs. If you are using ReimuB and can't dodge Orin's spells (like me), you will definitely need 2 bombs each for Cat's Walk, Needle Mountain, and Small Demon's Revival. By comparison, all of those are pretty much single bombs with ReimuA/C.

I've got to disagree. MarisaB has the strongest bomb in the game, and MarisaA's works in very much the same way. While it is certainly weaker, you have twice as many. (I don't remember MarisaC's, but I suspect that it's terrible.) In any event, those Marisa bombs are all about placement, and the same is true for ReimuB. In some cases it's useless, and in others it can deal heavy damage by simply dropping it directly on top of the boss. I find it odd that you'd mention Rin's Needle Mountain, when that's one of the most notable places where ReimuB's bomb outshines ReimuA's. That attack spawns thousands of bullets from a single point. It's what ReimuB's bomb was built for. Further, you say "You can straight out skip a lot of cards with that bomb" which is generally the hallmark strategy of ReimuC, MarisaA and B, and is usually referred to as an advantage that those shots have over ReimuA. On top of that, they have the advantage of  essentially dealing fixed damage, while ReimuA's bomb gets weaker as you lose power (since it's damage comes from letting you get free shots on the boss). Getting through Needle Mountain with just one bomb, even at full power (which becomes 3 instantly) sounds a little dubious to me, though I'll give you the benefit of the doubt there. However, I'm sure that if you go into that spell with 2 power, you're going to use both bombs and still have time left to die before the spell ends.

And I'm typing too much. Making myself look like an asshat. Whatever. My impression is that you seem to be neglecting the potential of most bombs to be put on top of the boss, where they deal tremendous damage in comparison to ReimuA's. If not, then never mind.

Not sure I get where you're coming from. I don't see how any of those other than ReimuC truly surpass ReimuA's ability to bomb through Spellcards. Timing is the more important factor for the latter, but it still excels in getting you through troublesome attacks when used right.

On top of that, they have the advantage of  essentially dealing fixed damage, while ReimuA's bomb gets weaker as you lose power (since it's damage comes from letting you get free shots on the boss).
I'm pretty sure they all get weaker as you lose Power. Every shot can fire normally during bombs, and the damage calculations you see in Mefidex's tables take damage from shots into account.

And a note about MarisaA. She has twice as many bombs, yes. They also last half as long as the others, because there are twice as many. So in practice it's more like setting off 4 ReimuA bombs total in terms of duration.

Well I don't know then. MarisaA and B's bombs are definitely stronger, there isn't much more to it than that. It's not that ReimuA can't bombspam her way to victory (everyone can), but those other bombs are better at it.
