More adventures in SA:
I lost 2 lives during Okuu's first card in a ReimuB 1cc attempt today. :getdown:
Then I game over'd to her second non...

I start Nue's Undefined darkness card with 4 lives, leave with 1. This is "that spellcard" which takes at least 2 lives everytime I try it (except first time when I got timeout without losing any bombs or lives). I highly doubt that is never going to happen again though.

If it helps, here's my method for dealing with that card. Keep directing Nue to the corners (or so, the path is quite forgiving in that regard), in the same order. It does make the card take longer, but it's vastly safer.

you could also try to keep her up on top of the screen. dodge the bullet, go left/right to her, when she moves go down again and voil?, you have spread out bullet and can end the card quickly. Malkyrian's method is effective, too, but I'm not sure if you could end the card before the timer runs our that way :V

Makedounia · « **Reply #334 on:** December 12, 2012, 06:58:58 PM »

Thanks! I'll definitely try that when I try to beat Nue next time. Not today though, after getting my ass handed to me by Yuugi I don't really feel like playing at all.

> makes a recording that lasts 17 seconds

> 3 seconds pass on the ingame timer throughout the recording

...I don't think I've ever had lag this bad before.

Died during the last 8 seconds of Suwako's "Red Frog of Houei 4," simultaneously failing the stage and first capture of that card. Also I had about 3 bombs. Why~

Let me recite my FW run in a nutshell:

*Holds Z Key to charge, dies just as I release the key* that pretty much all my deaths in a nutshell!

RNG · « **Reply #338 on:** December 14, 2012, 03:11:51 AM »

Pretty much every time I die in Stages 1 to 3 of PoDD. There's no excuse.

kinkaku-ji at 90 fps. that is all.

there were other scenes that became really tough (8-7, 9-4, 5-1), but that one is just...and I haven't even started stage 10 or extra yet :V

...Meh, it wasn't that hard BV

In seriousness though, Kinkaku-ji was the second-hardest scene when I did that game at 90 FPS. The hardest bar none was 10-6.

Here's my clear video of 10-6. I strongly suggest you use that as a reference, so you don't have to go through the same trauma I did. :ohdear:

Dear every non PC98 Touhou game ever. (Including the ones with spell practice.)]

Get savestates ffs.

Seppo Hovi · « **Reply #343 on:** December 15, 2012, 10:06:25 AM »

They have a cool feature called Stage practice, though. Obviously it might lenghten your attempts at whatever by five to ten minutes at worst, making things less spammable. Not a big amount of time lost, if you ask me. Try new stuff with the rest of the stages, if they get boring.

Quote from: Bang Jan on December 15, 2012, 10:09:03 AM

Thing is I don't want to go through long and boring stages just to try to time out a spellcard.

Patience, is it unheard of?

Well here's a tip for you BangJan. Successfully time out the spell before you get bored of the stage... or be like me and keep grinding until you stop sucking for those 45 seconds of glory you were gunning for.

Marine Benefit is super weird >_>

Easy is easy, Normal is easy, Extra is easy, Hard is mostly easy, and Lunatic is a slap in the face.

Does anyone else feel this way? :V

Yes. I've 1CCed five Touhous thus far, and of these, MB was the hardest by a mile. Best advice I have is to make sure you unlock Stage Practice for all six stages and make damn sure you can handle The Eight Million Laughing Gods and stage 6 Kasumi, because these are the most likely points to end a run if you aren't prepared for them.

Anyway...why is it that I constantly enter a long Extra stage to time out a card, then shoot during the card anyway just to attempt a perfect I'll invariably fail at? Not helping is that everything before said card is trivial so it's never a question of whether I have a perfect run going, it's why I even care.

Finally made it to Yukari's final spell. And then I slam right into a bullet.

Goddamnit Yukari.

Tried to 1cc U.F.O with Marisa B. I started stage 5 with 6 lives, left with 2. Game over at stage 6. Go me!

Alicirno · « **Reply #353 on:** December 16, 2012, 02:11:02 PM »

I don't know why, but Marisa's EX Attack Earthlight Ray laser thingies seem to be impossible to dodge when I make a serious attempt to beat PoFV Extra.

:V

Sakurei · « **Reply #354 on:** December 17, 2012, 12:15:27 AM »

playingon anything less than 90 fps makes me puke now :V everything is so fuck slow that I feel like I could eat dinner before the next bullet hits me after dodging something.

this is pain. why did I ever start 90 fps? it's not like I am even good at it. now I will never be able to do anything ;_;

I can totally understand why BT didn't go for NMNB marisa after hundreds of 90 fps attempts. fuck, this is painful. I will never be able to no bomb, unless I go for it at 90 fps. OR go through all the pain.

my character also moves fucking slow. I can't stand it

chiyuri's speed is a godsend after playing 90 fps :V

oh yeah, speaking of chiyuri:

PoDD chiyuri. enter yumemi will full lives. game over.

wat the fuck? I played on normal, too. god, I'm terrible at this touhou thing.

I don't do drugs :< just...well, I suppose ultra, 90 fps and other mods are shmup drugs of some sort...

what the fuck am I saying. I'm going full retard right now :V

Don't worry Sakurei, the next Touhou game will be fast enough that you won't notice that it's only running at 60FPS.

Right ZUN? :3

Sakurei · « **Reply #359 on:** December 17, 2012, 06:00:59 PM »

don't worry. I will just play at 90 fps forever. at some point, it will feel like 60 and then I'm going for 90 fps no bomb runs :V
