Touhou Rage Thread XV: No "No Misses" Edition

[Zengeku]

One hour. One fucking hour and could not even get a single NMNB Stage 4 run in Mountain of Faith.

Fucking trash. Fuck Momiji and fuck Aya. Stop rolling dice you cuntheads! It's so annoying. Only hard part about MoF but it's gotta be a real bitch. Figures.

Peerless Wind God and Momiji. How much practice does those two need before you can do it with some degree of consistency? It's annoying the hell out of me because I could probably go for a NMNB clear of the game but those two bitches would keep stopping me. As pretty much the only thing.

Dammit. 

[Tsym]

God damn it me. I hate knowing that I definitely CAN get this 1cc, but I keep on making retarded mistakes that prevent it from happening. Like what the hell? My last three attempts all died because I died multiple times to midboss Ichirin's non-spell. That's just pathetic. It's easy. How can that be where I'm failing? And obviously the second I think I got it again, I mess up another place. Kogasa's penultimate card? Yeah screw you. Bullets flying out of every which place, can barely keep track of it. Damn it it's so easy, but I keep on getting blindsided.

It's always something...

[Cor]

Hrrgh. This marks the fifth hour I've been running stage 6 just for a try at surviving Byakuren's second non-spell once. Just once. Why must I be so goddamn terrible? Good lord, I need to get checked for learning disabilities. Either I'm doing it in a retarded way, which doesn't seem to be the case, or I'm simply a retard because I keep taking hits from things way before I even notice their existence. I deserve a kick in the nuts, maybe it'll break my skill cap.

Are you doing it the "normal" way or the way I did? Some people, like me, can excel at one and simply crash and burn at the other. If you're only trying one, try the other and see if you do any better.

[Cor]

Okay, that was just impossible of a different, sourer flavor. Maybe I'm just not meant to pass it.

[chum]

I feel just worthless at these games. No matter what I try I just cannot seem to do anything right. I've been score running GFW Hard A-2 for hours and still cannot beat my pathetic 61 million score, even though I've learned more methods, I should be beating that score by now but I just can't. It all spirals out of control at midboss Star. I use bombs that don't even freeze anything. I can't do the second stage correctly at all, I'm almost 10 million behind when I finish it. I finish off the bosses too early. I don't freeze well enough. I run into bullets I should not be running into. My last run finished with only 600 motivation ffs.

It is too much, just too much but I have made up my mind that I will do this route properly one of these days. The worst thing is that I can't even play the other games properly either, been trying for a NMNB Sakuya fight and if It's not the nons that kill me then you can bet that Killing Doll will ruin the day, everyday. 4 Runs lost there so far and I bet I'll keep losing and losing and losing because I just can't cope with that spell. But the worst part is when I get killed by the very first wave of the very first non and I have to redo that piece of shit stage over and over.

It's too much, so I tried my hand at a NMNB Remilia and... I fucked up Meister. If I hadn't fucked up Meister than I might have done it. Gensokyo RNG was damn good, It's such a waste. Why can't my brain just understand that you're not supposed to corner yourself at Meister? Why didn't I move right instead of left? Why am I such a fuck-up at everything I try to do? I bet the next 10 times I capture Meister (lol yeah right) that I will die to Gensokyo right after. Possibly to the very first wave.  Damn it all, I wish I didn't suck so bad.

Typing that felt good, though

Never ever think this.

[Sakurei]

so sad. failed genetic of subconsciousness and only managed to get a 1DNB extra :V

similarly did I die to SA, thus giving me a 1DNB stage 6. both of them were soooooooooo close. damnit. it will take another 20 attempts to not die to either okuu's 1st and 2nd spellcards (or the 2nd non for that matter, killed me so often, too :V). but soon. both of them...soon.

[Tsym]

Ugh that's it. I'm taking a week break from Touhou. This is just getting ridiculous. I can't concentrate when I load myself up with all these expectations and fear of making just a few mistakes, because it'll snowball up from there. This isn't really relaxing anymore. Now it's just something else to worry about on top of things that, although I don't need to do immediately, it'll be a load off my mind if I just get them done. So sod it UFO. Take your 1cc and shove it. I'll be back for you with a clear mind.

Oh, and if anyone wants a good laugh/face palm, I've attached a few replays for your amusement. Enjoy watching myself making stupid mistakes and whatnot. See everyone in a week!

[Wriggle]

Fuck you Mokou. No, fuck me, it's my fucking fault. The better I do, the worst will be my fail at Possessed by Phoenix and Hourai Doll. Like, what the fuck? A while ago I could potentially reach 1.8 bi with Reimu, but died to Possessed by Phoenix and died TWICE to Hourai Doll. These two crap are almost static, what the fuck is wrong with me? Why do I keep sucking at this game? :barf:

K, done releasing 20% of my anger, but I'll fill this post with more shit anyway. I have to stop playing Touhou. Like really. All I wanted was to get 3 Lunatics before 1 year of playing it. That said year isn't even over yet, and I've got 5 Lunatics, yet 1 (or 2, depending of the point of view) Perfect Extra. But this game is frustrating me more than making me happy. But I just can't stop playing it, no matter how many times I try. In one or two days I find myself playing it again. I need to get a life. But I keep fucking myself here. Maybe I'll have will enough once the first year is over (though I don't even know the exact day of it :V), and it'd be the great day when Wrig stopped with her pointless masochism (wut) and got a life. Or still has no life, but in a better way. Yeah that's it.

[Sakurei]

failed more runs than I should have in SA extra. especially horrible are all the deaths against genetics of subconscious. how do I keep getting hit here? that's pretty darn weird and should never happen under any circumstances.

also didn't manage to do anything in GFW extra. no run even reached marisa :V also failed miko's fourth non. like, what?

[Elysia]

[Validon98]

I attempted once again to 1cc Imperishable Night on Hard after a long string of failures. For once, I actually made it to Stage 4 without dying more than once (Keine still hates me). And then I lose three-ish lives to Stage 4. The rest of the run was a complete disaster. I just plain rage quit at Kaguya's second non-spell because I only had one life. Why can't I 1cc a Windows game on Hard?! 

[Oh]

Alright, that's it. I'm taking a long break. I've been trying to perfect UFO extra for a while. Just lost one run to rainbow, another to grudge bow (really? Grudge bow? This is the first time i've died on it from when I started attempting...) And MoF LNB attempts are so irratating, I keep screwing up on stage 4.

[ARF]

herp derp, just lost a 1.4 billion SA run at Peta Flare after having perfected (as far as my route is concerned) stage 1-3, unfortunate 1 death 2 bomb at macro burst (after having timed it out perfectly in practice right before). I even missed some ravens and stuff in Stage 6 so I guess 1.5 billions is realistic without altering my route, not really expecting that though.

[Chalros22]

And here I sit, happy if I can make it past Koakuma on Normal without getting myself killed...

Seriously, I feel inferior....

I would say we were all there once, but a few of these guys probably weren't because of other shmup bnackground. You'll improve, the curve is pretty steep to start though, I know it was for me.

Hey I remember there was a time when I was psyched to have beaten IN EASY.  Now I'm shooting for UFO lunatic.  You'll get there, just keep at it.

[Seppo Hovi]

I still get psyched up from almost every IN easy run of mine.      ﾍ(;?Д｀ﾍ)

[Ranko Hoshino]

NDNB IN Easy is still a thing for me. Even if it's Easy, it's still fun as well. :3

[I have no name]

SA ultra hard stage 6 is...surprisingly doable.  I entered the stage with 3/5 of a life and made it all the way to 3/5 of the way through Subterranean Sun.  All I need to do is only die twice in Stage 3, not die at the end of Satori again and not derp horribly on Orin.

[Zengeku]

Tried a few pacifist runs against Ichirin. Flawlessly timed everything out except for the 3rd non-spell on which i died at the last possible moment. How fucking stupid is that?  :V

[Wriggle]

Just tried no-shooting on Koishi, and got game over at Subterranean Rose after ~20 seconds, even though it was the first wave. Somehow I'm not very pissed at that. Rorschach is a bitch.

[Yatakarasu]

What the fuck? I managed to lose 3 lives on Murasa (I was trying out Marisa A) and then game over even before her last card. Seriously?

Then I failed at Hard to make me feel better.

[Seppo Hovi]

First time getting to face Eiki four times with these conditions, and I obviously panic during the final round and be an idiot and ram into bullets at stupid moments.

...
Shit.

[Oh]

6 extra fucking lives going into Sakuya, Game over on Young Demon Lord...
Fuck ReimuA and her shit power.

[BT]

@Seppo: I hope you're not using Youmu for the AI, because as far as I know she's pretty bad! (though someone like Zil who knows shit about this game is free to correct me here)
@Oh: NoBombs? That's harsh no matter how you look at it. ReimuA's power can only wrong you so much when you're on tilt anyway.

[fsvgm777]

So, I was playing PoDD Normal with Ellen. I had 0 lives remaining and 1 heart of health left (same as Yumemi at that time). Then, a stupid small fly flies at the front of my screen. I get distracted (because I tried to chase it away) and get hit twice in a row due to that. Game over.

The worst part? I got over 30 million points.

This is one of the reasons why I absolutely hate getting distracted by anything, especially flies.

[Wriggle]

Reminds of when I was trying to time out Mishaguji-sama while getting to the last phase the fastest way possible using Marisa-Bug, and then an ant comes out of nowhere and starts walking on my screen. I took just a while to fuck up.

[K.B.]

Shit.

You're almost there!

@Seppo: I hope you're not using Youmu for the AI

As his conditions are no-focus and no-charge (along with constantly shooting for no sane reason), I think he's using her for optimal silliness.
