It's 4am yeah but since I'm still unoccupied with anything work/education related until January my sleep cycle has been messed a bit up meaning I woke up at 4pm today so I'm actually only 12 hours into my day atm.

No, really. I think the real reason that I'm just not doing very well with PCB is because I just don't play it very much as I find it to be pretty damn boring. This entire run can pretty much be explained as the result of me not really playing it regularly combined with exceptionally bad playing.

Being a terrible player I shouldn't expect any kinds of results from No-bombing a game that I don't know very well. I think that's really all there is to it.

This isn't a danmaku game, but it's Touhou and I'm raging at it, so...

AHHAAHA!! Oh gods no, how the hell did I manage this poorly?

You call that bad? I'll show you bad.

Yeah dude yeah.

Zengeku · « **Reply #273 on:** December 04, 2012, 03:39:50 PM »

Yes. That is quite something. Though you did play under NF restrictions right? That would explain a lot.

NMNBNT first 3 stages. Didn't make it to Stage 5.

Died to Seiga midboss non, the third wave of the post-Seiga spam (I never die there), Tongling Yoshika, and her 3rd non.

I've perfected Stage 4 in practice... urgh. Still convinced 90% of the difficulty here is Marisa's explosion effects making it impossible to see a thing on Tongling. :V

I lost a no bomb MoF lunatic run to Sanae.
I had 3 lives going into the fight.

:colonveeplusalpha:

Same run also died once to each of Nitori's spells. ALL of them.

Sakurei · « **Reply #278 on:** December 05, 2012, 03:37:08 PM »

IHNN how about going into stage 5 with 7 lives and leaving with 1. happened to me and I don't know how I managed to die 6 times. all I know is that I failed every spell, but 1 in that stage. including the midboss. that was the best run I'v ever had until I hit stage 5. I gave up on the no bomb run because of that awful performance on a stage that I should be able to consistenly perfect.

RNG if marisa's bothering you, play reimu :V she's a much better shottype anyway. or youmu, that way you don't have to worry about tongling yoshika, too. she _absolutely_ trivializes that spell. I have a 100% capture rate on it with her

Sakurei · « **Reply #281 on:** December 05, 2012, 06:21:09 PM »

I just hit the 1800 mark on SFN with reimu solo. still trying to time it out. my best attempts were somewhere in the 30s. I do have like 2 replays saved from that, and I think when I have enough "good fails" I'll compile them into a video and upload it, just to show how much bullshit luck I have on some runs. only to die later.

the spell is still great. my most played spell in the entire series. hell, I have played all of TDs spells less than that one (somewhere in the 4000s as of now if I combine it with every character)

BT · « **Reply #282 on:** December 05, 2012, 06:46:42 PM »

SFN is great but kind of a trial of endurance if you get bored. VoWG-esque, only I'd argue that it's less boring than VoWG, so that's something.

The best I got is two attempts ending at 5 seconds, with another attempt at 6, iirc.

I'm partly playing Marisa because she doesn't trivialize anything like Reimu's homing amulets or Youmu's slashes do. I'm more interested in NBNT Marisa than NBNT period. Still, the explosion gfx piss me off enough that I might just switch to Sanae.

Good grief, you did say we were the same in some regards, but I didn't think it would go as far as Spell Histories. Stopped at 1950 with Reimu&Yukari today, though I've made tremendous progress since 1500 or so; got to 24 today, but quite a few attempts make it to 40 now, which was my previous best until today.

The Spellcard definitely is a lot of fun, at least now that I can actually read many parts of it somewhat reliably. Still lots of luck involved, but fun nonetheless.

Elysia · « **Reply #285 on:** December 05, 2012, 08:28:35 PM »

Okay, so doing Mountain of Faith Normal with no vertical no bombs no focus, I wasn't expecting to actually win. Fair enough.

But COME ON, Aya, did you really have to kill me at such a rapid pace that I didn't even get to Illusionary Dominance despite only having died once on the entire run before getting to you?

Sakurei · « **Reply #286 on:** December 05, 2012, 08:50:07 PM »

reimu's homing amulets don't trivialize anything. they're too weak for that. youmu does make some things easier, though. so yeah. alright, if you want to keep going as marisa (or sanae) good luck!

BT I don't get bored of it, that's the thing. You're right it's 100 (in-game) seconds, so it's a fairly long spell, but it's so fun that I haven't gotten bored of it yet. I will certainly stop once it frustrates me, though. GFW extra was...a bad experience. :V I just posted it in here because it's not an accomplishment to fail a spellcard 1800 times

lepetit: well, I didn't expect it'd be that much, either. but yeah, I've gotten a lot better at this, too. just 2 days ago I couldn't make it past the 50 seconds. now a lot of runs end eosomewhere in the 40s or 30s. though, I haven't gotten so far that the bullet limit was reached, so there's still a lot of work to do. I'l definitely get this done!

RNG · « **Reply #287 on:** December 05, 2012, 10:53:14 PM »

3.8 lives into Seiga. Game over to Tongling Yoshika.

Shit.

Goldom · « **Reply #288 on:** December 06, 2012, 02:13:47 AM »

So I finally decided to play Koumajou since I love Metroidvanias and I've been meaning to for a while...

BUT NO it's old-fashioned whip things-style Castlevania. I didn't see that coming and I am awful at this. Finally turned lives up because I was sick of spending 15 minutes in a stage for 3 tries at a boss that lasted 20 seconds. That got me to the final, but I've now tossed 60+ lives away at the final boss without success.

Zengeku · « **Reply #289 on:** December 06, 2012, 04:28:10 AM »

The key to playing that game properly is getting a decent bit of practice in on the bosses. As you get better at it, the game becomes a lot more fun. Also, you should try out the sequel to it rather than the first game since the sequel is far superior. At least in my opinion.

DAMN YOU, SEIGA! :getdown:

RNG · « **Reply #292 on:** December 07, 2012, 07:02:36 PM »

Yeah that's p much how Seiga works. Her attacks are all so incredibly easy to mess up on and they all last so damn long. Don't feel bad about it.

Yatakarasu · « **Reply #293 on:** December 07, 2012, 07:13:36 PM »

Yeah, they aren't that bad really, but (as you said) they are so easy to screw up. Expect, "Toggling Yoshika." That one just sucks in general.

BT · « **Reply #294 on:** December 07, 2012, 07:50:59 PM »

Fights like this need to have your bomb finger on the bomb button at all times.

So I thought it would be cool to try and no focus no vertical timeout Fader. I died 200 times and said one last try cuse I need to eat. The following happened

RAGE

So depressing.

I dont have a "bomb" finger. I have a "focus" finger and a general "hurt stuff" finger.

Makedounia · « **Reply #297 on:** December 07, 2012, 11:29:05 PM »

I tried TD for the first time and I was shocked how easy it was. I already knew it would be easy but THAT easy? I lost my first life at Futo and got game over at Miko. Fair enough, I didn't expect to get 1cc blind anyway. Then, I tried to beat Mokou. Made it to possessed by phoenix (first time) with 2 lives and 1 bomb. I don't know what I did, but I managed to get past that card with 1 life and 1 bomb. I ALMOST won, she had barely any life left, but no. I tried again, best run so far, messed it all up at fujiyama volcano. Go me!

It's almost impossible to use survival bombs in that way. Try practicing using the middle finger to shoot, so you'll have two free fingers to bomb/focus.

ring finger to shoot
