Pacifist (No bombs as well!) EoSD Extra Clear!
YouTube
I had to tank through Q.E.D to get this run. That meant perfecting everything before that, which was a pain in the butt. （￣□￣；）

Oh · « **Reply #211 on:** April 16, 2013, 09:59:47 PM »

Not really an accomplishment but I 1cc'd EoSD No-Focus with all shot-types.
I got in the meek safe-spot 3 times out of the 3 runs I did. No focus.

Yatakarasu · « **Reply #212 on:** April 17, 2013, 12:47:20 AM »

Not huge, but progress. I got a continue (7) clear of SA Hard.

I like how I beat my score. Thanks, SA. :derp:
I did get to stage 5 midstage Orin in 1 coin though. At least now I can practice Orin. Okuu doesn't seem too bad other than the first and fourth (I think) card. Just gonna bomb through the first card. It's not worth the trouble.

Karisa · « **Reply #213 on:** April 17, 2013, 04:10:09 AM »

OK, I guess this would be something to post here.

Made it to 20 seconds left in Silhouette Fantasy Lunatic, final spell (more like a Last Word than a Last Spell) of the recently released fangame Luminous Dream.

The last few phases of that spell are insane. I'd like to see someone capture it.

Yaaay! I've finally managed to get Gold on all spells on Fairy Wars A-1 Hard :3

This route is just in general pretty solid. Only one stupid card that I somehow managed to do because Star wanted to pay me back for something you guys really don't need to know the details behind.

So what I got today were gold medals on three attacks that have been eluding me for quite some time. No practice options means you have to spam full runs so it takes quite a bit more effort to actually get these gold medals. Perhabs that's a positive quality to the game in a way. Makes them more special because they took more effort to get. But now i'm sounding like a PCB purist retard so i'll just shoot myself.

The patterns achieved today are: Sky Sign "Elfin Canopy", Team Tech "Fairy Overdrive" and Shooting Star "Petit Comet"

Well I just tried a "no-damage" run of PoDD as Yumemi, even though the game is still being kind of glitchy. I took a single, stupid hit against Yumemi. Just bumped a fireball for no reason. Other than that, I took no damage throughout the whole game. A bit disappointing, but on the whole I'm happy with it. I think I'll try a few more times and if I don't get it I'll just upload this run.

I also did this a while ago. And a bunch of PoFV scores. Still no 300mil though.

By the way, I think you can use cheat engine to start GFW from specific stages, Zengeku.

SA Extra perfected!. At this point, Rorschach and Genetics feel ridiculously easy. It's just Philosophy that makes me freak out, and Subterranean Rose because it's the last card and all :V

Still, first Extra perfect (and who'd have thought that it would be SA?), so I'm pretty happy about that!

Piranha · « **Reply #217 on:** April 18, 2013, 12:31:02 PM »

PCB Extra ReimuB Clear!

My hands are numb, my heart is still pounding, but I did it!

Captured:
Ultimate Buddhist

Border broken at the beginning of Wizard Fox Thoughts, which was extraordinarily mean to me, exploding these Bubbles almost directly above me...
Some pretty dumb errors, but better ressource management than ever before.

Didn't think I could be that happy again after clearing EoSD Extra!

PS: DAMN THOSE SNIPER FAIRIES!!11!
PPS: Video is processing, please wait warmly!

Yes, you can. Details here. It'll start you with default (level 1 if not on Easy) power, though, unless you also set the ice area whenever you restart (or lock the ice area at some value).

Hey, it was my first Extra perfected as well. :V Congrats.

Oh, I forgot to post this here when it actually happened, but I DID end up capturing Deus ex Machina in what is possibly one of the closest calls I've ever had in Touhou as a whole.

If it weren't for ReimuA's homing, I'd be dead for sure.

Goldom · « **Reply #221 on:** April 19, 2013, 01:08:03 AM »

This month: dramatic improvement at Mamizou.

[attach=1]

Also finally beat her with Sanae (barely), and have come very close to managing it with no deaths on Reimu.

PCB Extra clear, now on Youtube!
Guess I'll try IN Extra next.

Validon98 · « **Reply #223 on:** April 19, 2013, 02:59:53 AM »

Oh my god... I just beat Phantasm of PCB with MarisaA. No lives or bombs left at all. I used everything I had to survive Yukari's final spell, because I simply do not get it. I almost gave up on this run too after dying stupidly to Ran's first spell. Whew.

It's here if you want to see it.

chum · « **Reply #224 on:** April 19, 2013, 03:41:04 PM »

Life sucks and I've been playing a lot of Touhou lately to relax, 3 noteable things (to me) happened:

89,8 millions in fairy wars extra - holding on to the replay for this one for now since I want at least 90 millions but I'm working on getting much more than that. The record is 100 after all.
1,55 billions in ufo normal
~~no miss 5 bomb~~ 5 miss no bomb in eosd lunatic

derp

Time for a spell practice dump
(all Hard or Extra mode)
Vision Wave "Mindblow (Red Eyes Hypnosis)" no horizontal timeout (1 attempt)
Giant Hollow "Woo" no focus timeout (originally did it with focus in 5 attempts, so I tried no focus and well - 1 attempt :V)
Hourai "Fujiyama Volcano" timeout (I estimate around 70 attempts)
"Hourai Doll" timeout (~175 attempts but so worth it)
"Imperishable Shooting" capture lol
Unknown "Will-o'-wisps in Unknown Orbit" timeout (2 or 3 attempts)
Blaze Sign "Sakuraiji in Flames" timeout
Honor "Ranks of Twelve Levels" timeout
Divine Light "Honour the Avoidance of Defiance" timeout
I forgot how many tries I took for the last three but it was less than 10 for each (except maybe Sakuraiji).

I probably should get a Youtube account and upload these sometime.

EDIT: TD hard 1cc! Perfected Seiga again this time, too.
Actually got this on my first attempts in a few days.

EoSD stage 3 NM pacifist
It was interesting to do. Pacifist play really changes how the stages work.

GFW cleared on normal for the first time, posting this accomplishment just to say that GFW is hard and everyone says that it is easy

BT · « **Reply #228 on:** April 20, 2013, 08:21:47 AM »

It's not easy, but that's only because you gotta find yourself a route and there's no stage practice. Go for the extra stage!

Karisa · « **Reply #229 on:** April 20, 2013, 08:53:14 AM »

I recall finding GFW Normal to be pretty difficult when I first cleared it, and I don't think I was using stage practice much for the other games at the time (didn't see the point yet on Normal, I think going for Extras changed my play style).

GFW difficulties aren't that far apart in general though. It reminds me of the PC-98 games (or at least some of them, not PoDD or LLS) difficulty-wise: closer together main-game difficulties and a harder-than-usual Extra. Though the smaller GFW difficulty gap seems to be more due to the freezing mechanics: freezes travel farther when there are more bullets, the increased bullet count helps recharge your freezes faster, and the overall more/larger freezes give you more lives/bombs/power.

Elysia · « **Reply #230 on:** April 20, 2013, 07:16:00 PM »

Timed out Royal Flare!

Freaking finally. It took me forever to even see where I was supposed to go for that last wave. Really glad that one's out of the way.

Hopefully now I don't get obsessed with perfecting the stage or anything. :ohdear:

Oh · « **Reply #231 on:** April 20, 2013, 11:52:04 PM »

SA LNB get
Also my first clear of SA with ReimuA and second clear overall.
Stage 5 went better than expected but stage 6 was absolute shit.

Cream Soda · « **Reply #232 on:** April 21, 2013, 04:03:34 PM »

I cleared Ten Desires on Normal without dying. I'm pretty surprised.

Andrew · « **Reply #233 on:** April 22, 2013, 07:01:28 PM »

My first PCB Phantasm clear
Didn't take me as many tries as Extra, but with how much more difficult some of the cards are, I don't see myself clearing it with only one death anytime soon like I've done for Extra, so I'd still consider Phantasm to be harder, even though some people think it's easier.

BT · « **Reply #234 on:** April 22, 2013, 07:39:55 PM »

Tonight on things that should have happened a long freaking time ago: EoSD LNB with Reimu B. Full runs are kind of a thing for me considering how much of a flip-flop I tend to be. Evident by the deaths: Meiling's final spell, the books, Green Storm, Emerald Megalith, Misdirection, Sakuya's first non, Scarlet Meister & Gensokyo. That's exactly 0 spare lives remaining.

Morale of the story: don't restart. No run is flawless, we are just human beings. The mistakes make the success worth it.

I'll write longer scoreboard post eventually. Now, celebrations.

Ah, in the midst of joy, I forgot to congratulate others, again. Late is better than never, I guess. good work people, keep the stuff coming!

Tsym · « **Reply #239 on:** April 24, 2013, 04:31:55 AM »

UFO Lunatic 1cc with MarisaA. Started to get some UFO practice in, and I decided that I would finish off what I started a long time ago. Now I only have MarisaB left, which should hopefully be easier than MarisaA as I'll finally have free range of movement during bombs again. Also I really, really hate how MarisaA's laser orbs completely ruin forward visibility when you focus. Makes dodging stuff really irritating (I had several heart attacks on Superhuman Byakuren and on LFS). Oh, I also almost managed to perfect Kogasa in this run, but I had a really dumb death to her last card. Oh well.

Also really weird note, but I have only now managed to find the proper path to the opening section of UFO stage 1. I don't know why I've never bothered to find one before. Could have saved me a ton of restarts.

Of course congrats to all the other people's accomplishments! The people in this community are nothing short of amazing.
