Touhou Rage Thread XV: No "No Misses" Edition

[cactu]

I got to stage 6 with 7 extra lives as Reimu A, then midboss Sakuya took a dump on me, lost two lives like an idiot, and Meister did surprise buttsecks to me with a superfast random bullet to my face.
Fuck.

[Reiko]

Lost five rounds against Eiki.
Why does Lily White have to pop on the last round every time ?
Oh well, practice mode it is, anyway. At least I'm getting consistent to everything before stage 9.

[Zil]

Speaking of Anex's shittiness, tt's been a while since I've had the luxury of playing in "red mode." Eye melting shades of hell, complete with frame skipping and input lag.

[Chilled Muffins]

Can't even proceed much farther than the first stage of any of the games, and that's on Easy mode.
I am hilariously bad at this.

[Kaze_Senshi]

Trying to beat SA for the first time, go until Orin with 6 lifes on stock, lose 4 in the boss battle and the rest on the stage 6. BLERRRAWGH!
Another day I'll beat this game

And lets take it easy :O

I'm going to leave that on in the background and try.

[Limian]

died thrice on Needle Mountain, game over to Tokamak

I don't even

EDIT: lo and behold, I captured all stage 5 spells bar Cat Walk in the next practice run :fail:

[Byaaakuren]

Will I ever beat Lunatic? Find out if I ever post a victory replay!
Here's a replay for the last run

[MTSranger]

ALMOST captured Scarlet Gensokyo

[Bang Jan]

Hooray for spontaneously dying!

Spoiler:

not

[/size]

[an unmatched sock]

I finally figured out how to Immaterial and Missing Power!

*gets wrecked in early stages by Stardust Reverie*

Ok...finally figured out how to not die on that one...

*gets more wrecked by stupid combos from Double Pain*

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

*upon trying again, gets to Yukari, loses last two lives to Parasol of All the Hacks*

I quit. Yukari's a cheater.

Seriously, I always miss one jump or get hit from behind and into that OP combo of Youmu's. I'm also not proficient with the actual melee combat part of it yet. And how exactly do you dodge that hag's parasol roll anyhow? My entire last life couldn't do any damage, and it was one of those "I'm going to hit you exactly when you get back up so you can't spellcard or anything" sort of deals.

Also, you people on Lunatic are crazy.

[Sakurei]

I can't PoFV. whenever I get good early stages, I fuck up either marisa, yuka or reimu. or all of them and eiki too while I'm at it

also, what's the timers for stage 6-8? I had fights lasting more than 3 minutes with each of them and they never died. it's so ridiculous. marisa just didn't fucking die and I was like 3:10 into the fight. can't even no miss until eiki

it's my strongest game and I can't do shit in it /wrist

[Zil]

Should be 3:30 for Yuuka and Reimu, though Yuuka likes to die early. I was under the impression that Marisa is 3:00, so either you were really unlucky or it's actually 3:30 as well.

[Reiko]

"Oh hey, I've been playing Touhou for one year now. Surely I'm going to do some nice stuff today !"

> gets slaughtered by Komachi and Eiki
> gameover at stage 3 in IN
> gameover at stage 4 in PCB

Feels like I'm doing something wrong. I'm throwing dozens of hours of practice into these games, and I'm not getting anywhere (taking breaks doesn't help). I've kind of given up on PCB and IN, though ; still playing PoFV because it's fun, waiting to luck my way to the 1cc.
And I do wonder how people can get these no-bombs or 90fps runs, seriously.

Sorry for the ranting (again).

[Dark Kitsune]

Decided to play PCB Phantasm for the first time in a while. Did really well, until after I beat myself. Then I got sloppy at avoiding bullets and ended up getting a game over after running into an enemy -.-

[Jmyster]

Alright, two lives left with three bombs, Scarlet Gensokyo, I can--hmmm, that's not normal...

*hit*

Damn, okay, three bombs, I got *hit* ...invincibility wearing off at the worst possible millisecond. BLARGH!

1cc Hard clear will have to wait for another day.

[Limian]

game over to Subterranean Sun.

look at all those painful deaths. Start of stage 4, start of stage 5, fucking Small Demon's Revival because I was hoping I could capture it, BoWaP flame in stage 6. I'm so fucking disappointed right now.

I only saved the replay because I perfected stage 3 in this one. It's a nice accomplishment, but sadly overshadowed by overall failure. The run wasn't even bad, just a few really really dumb slip-ups had to ruin it.

EDIT: if that run was bad, then this MoF run is even worse
5 lives, lost them all between Unremembered Crop and Source of Rains. I don't even know what to say.

[Tsym]

Almost nabbed a perfect SA stage 5, but I died to Needles of Yore because I fat fingered a dodge. I bet it'll take forever to get another run past Cat's Walk too...

But you know what, I'm done with this stage. I perfected Orin earlier, and I would try a lot harder at getting better at Needles of Yore and Cat's Walk, but I can't stand sitting in one place for all those long stretches where you do nothing/stream simple patterns. And timing out midboss Orin's first pattern is dumb. I'll be content with a "split perfect" for now. Moving on to something more fun!

[I have no name]

Well, that makes 4 1DNB Patchy fights-surprisingly 1 with each shot type now.  Where were the deaths?
ReimuA: Mercury Poison
ReimuB: Emerald Meagalith (1 second left, today)
MarisaA: Green Storm or whatever the ultra dense from the left bullets
MarisaB: I don't remember but it was past Megalith.  Lava Cromlech maybe?

Getting this perfect is inevitable I just need to, you know, stop choking.  Doesn't help that the stage is boring, but at least I nabbed a second max rank books capture.

[ARF]

（?；ω；`）
I was streaming some DS any%ss attempts/practice the other day, apparently deleting the score.dat can do strange things to DS. Scene pictured is Yuugi's curvy laser scene (6-5).

-edit-
Stream: http://www.twitch.tv/arftoho
I pretty much never stream tho, mainly because I barely even played anything the last month or so

[I have no name]

I was streaming

Stream where
Want to see 

[RNG]

MarisaA: Green Storm or whatever the ultra dense from the left bullets

GJ on books capture!

That'd be Sylphae Horn High Level by the way. MariA doesn't get Green Storm.

[I have no name]

Philosophy of a Hated Meme, why must you mix fun things with RNGWALL things with precision things.
3 3 death runs through the card tonight, with deaths to:
Imperishably CAVED x3 (legitimately hard section)
Guncannon x2 (derpy streaming)
Icicle Fall on crack x1 (this is legitimately tricky)
QFT Charisma Break x1 (bad RNG)
Lily FOE x1 (bad position after Native God)
you are already dead x1 (derp)
between them.  I can capture this but it's akin to perfecting a final boss, albeit a mostly easy one without a stage before it.

[Oh]

I died to Orin's second non during a LNB and gamed over to third non.
I think I would have cleared if I made it past Orin. Even though stages 3 and 4 are kicking my ass I believe a no bombs is not out of reach for me.

[Tsym]

Almost got a perfect Okuu... Except for a death to this wave in Peta Flare. Yup my only option was to dash all the way to the left, which I'm almost certain isn't possible without high risk of ramming into a blue bullet. I hate this card so much.

[an unmatched sock]

Twice today.

I recently got decent enough at Scarlet Weather Rhapsody and Hisoutensoku to beat them. Today, I got up to Tenshi's final card with half health and one extra life. I did good and proceeded quickly...until the rapid fire super death lasers happened. I lost what would have been my first SWR 1cc (as Alice, oddly enough)

Then, I decided to test Hisoutensoku to make sure  profiles and such worked (since they didn't right away in SWR) worked. I beat Sanae's story up to Suwako without dying too much, surprisingly since this was my second time playing this one. I got to her last spell, and suddenly sneak attack pillar ends it. While the ending played, my face was consistently that of Patrick's "holy crap" face  from the Spongebob movie (you all know the face) throughout the entire ending.

Tenshi is such a cheater...Suwako isn't much better. Youmu is also a cheater, but she isn't a final boss. She still makes me mad, though...

[Yatakarasu]

Two failed attempts at clearing SA normal with Marisa A today. Once to Okuu's opener (I derped hard), second time to the final card. Just about to throw my computer out the window right now.

[Elysia]

<Malkykitty> i just attempted a no-bombs run of eosd extra
<Malkykitty> result being, i succeeded in that...but because i just barely died to flandre's last attack
<Malkykitty> and only that
<Malkykitty> meaning that i could have perfected flandre scarlet
<Malkykitty> and now that's hanging over me
<Malkykitty> it's just...isn't that fundamentally backward?
<Malkykitty> like, i get a great achievement, the reaction should be "yay!" not "why couldn't i have done MORE"

That's another reason I've tried to quit Touhou several times, but I inevitably get to play it again a week later or so. The only way around was to just keep playing Extras which I find fun, with no challenge in mind. Although the NBNF SA extra I did days ago went pretty good. :V

[andrewshen123]

Well, that's something. No 1cc for me this time, it seems.
