Derp thread IV: Easy mode deaths edition

[Blue]

I can't stop dying on Stage 1/2 of DDC with SakuyaB.
why is this happening i already 1cced with every other shot type and those runs had perfect stages 1/2

I can't stop dying on Stage 1/2 of DDC with SakuyaB.
why is this happening i already 1cced with every other shot type and those runs had perfect stages 1/2

Because SakuyaB is rather... 'special'. (or maybe it's only because I suck at using her. undeniable)

I used SakuyaB for my very first attempt of playing DDC, which ended up discouraging me because I couldn't even finish stage 2 and 3 with clean sheet. Like, it's fine because it's the first time of me playing Touhou after roughly half a year not playing, but early stage 4 - game over? Now that's just downright mean.#rant

6th 1-Miss, No-Bomb Subterranean Animism Lunatic 

Ahh poop  :ohdear:

[Bigyingyi]

Double Dealing Character, when I finally have the faith to do Marisa, I get killed on the second stage.  :derp:

[Raikaria]

'Oh I got 4 lives and 4 bombs and I'm Sakuya A and I'm good at Seija...'

*Dies twice on Seija's 2nd nonspell*
*Dies twice on Seija's 2nd spell*
*Didn't use a single bomb*
*Usually clears both no problem*

Well... damnit.

[Szayelaporro Granz]

Did I just lose 9 lives with MarisaB on easy modo through stage 5 to 6? :V

(still managed to 1cc though)

[Wriggle]

>Captures Kanako's opener 3 times in a row
>Died to her first spell these 3 times.

:colonveeplusalpha:

[Space Flower]

It drives me nuts when I'm doing well; a derp is inevitable, even if I don't get too self-conscious I derp anyway. I got to Yukari's Evil Spirits reverse manji card without having died at all, and died three times to stray bullets. No bombs used because who anticipates being that stupid?

[Heian_Alien]

Some fine day I decided to try and timeout SFN. In the 50th try or so, I suddenly got the timer to around 30secs.
If you didn't know, because the waves start to merge with each other as time passes, the bullet cap is hit, and some bullets don't spawn.
This time it was the purpleblue wave that didn't spawn, only the red came. I was like "Nice, free seconds".
And of course I died to it.

[KingofBaka]

* Trying for a 1cc of EoSD*
I just got done with Meiling's second nonspell. All the fairies are gone and I am going to collect power. There are only two bullets on the screen. Guess what I run into? :colonveeplusalpha: :fail:   

[TrueShadow]

Tried UFO easy since I have free time. Stage 1-5 went really well, until I derp'd thrice at Shou. :colonveeplusalpha:

Derp No.1:
- Got hit by Radiant Treasure even though I could totally dodge it

Derp No.2:
- Died to Absolute Justice because i was trying to graze the lasers, but the laser's hitbox was bigger than I thought

Derp No.3:
- Most Bullshit Vajra AKA "Screw this I'm gonna bomb" card. The spinning laser hit me the the moment the bomb wears out.

And of course I derp'd at Byakuren too and game over'd at Flying Fantastica.


Not to mention yesterday's TD run where I died during one of Seiga's spellcards by ramming into the newly-revived Yoshika.

[Kaneko]

I literally will run into bullets almost on purpose. Sometimes it's when I took a sleeping pill and am waiting for it to kick in like last night and I was like HERP RUN INTO BULLETS.

Also I always have problems with Resien in IN.

[Reiko]

No-miss PoFV normal up to stage 9 for the first time.
Losing first round at 3:30.
Losing second, third and fourth rounds before 2:00.

 :colonveeplusalpha:

[Hybrinoid]

Okay, so after months of practicing on Hard, I finally managed to 1CC EoSD on Normal. Tried the Extra stage, raged oh so very hard. I took a month-long hiatus from Touhou after that, and when I played it again, I decided "Well let's play on Normal and see how far I get"...

...Aaaaaaand I died to a stray red bullet on Demarcation. Yep. Literally just ran into it; if I hadn't moved, it wouldn't have hit me. :colonveeplusalpha:

[Zengeku]

Today as I was having a bit of a break from my Strikers 99 practice, I messed around with some more Touhou unfocused stuff and once again, I managed to get away with nothing but close calls.

UFO Stage 3 No bombs, no ufos no focus had a really stupid miss on KKS. I even proceeded to time out the rest of the card afterwards Really dumb...
Then i have a handful of attempts at timing out KKS with Marisa which is considerably harder than Reimu because movement speed and i fail at 0-2 seconds left like three times in about 20 attempts. Again, stupid. It's the sort of deaths where if i just had stayed put instead of making unnecessary moves, i would've got what i wanted.

Oh well, it's not like it's important. I was having fun, just kinda saddened by the stupidity of my deaths. Same deals apparent over in Strikers 99 where I find myself dying to things that should be easy way more often than i die to the complicated memothings involving crazy fast bullets.

[Yatakarasu]

Wow, I've gotten really rusty at TD's hard. I lost all my lives even before stage 4. Then didn't even get to midstage Seiga.

I also tried DDC hard today. Didn't go so well, lost all my lives at stage 4 and Benben. Then game over'd to midstage Seija.

[Waahst]

Died to Remi 3rd non.

[chum]

hurr derp hue

[Emerald Mint]

Deaths galore in a failed attempt to score run UFO with ReimuA. Notably from trying to graze Ichirin Kumoi and ultimately, Most Valuable Vajra on Stage 5.

[Mr Jovial]

How to not perfect Youmu: Run into her while trying to misdirect a nonspell  BV

[KingofBaka]

I played MoF today to see if I could past stage 4.
- Dies to Hina's first spell
-Dies to random bullet at the start of stage 3
-Stupid death at Nitori's First spell. If I didn't move, I would not have hit one of those blue bullets she fires.  :fail:
- Die to random bullet again at the start of stage 4
- Gets to Momiji and I think I can still salvage this run.
-Game decides to lag right there and I lose my last life to a random bullet. :colonveeplusalpha:  

[Sahgren]

Game-overed an IN Hard run at stage 5 for the first time in a while. A few stupid mistakes at Keine put me on tilt, and I ended up getting distracted enough to fail every one of Marisa's patterns and every one of Reisen's patterns past Mind Shaker. I guess that's what I get for losing my cool.

[Raekuul]

So I'm trying to get better at PCB's stage 4. My first practice run of the night went fairly well from a survival standpoint, but the ending left something to be desired. Oddly, this was the only run where I didn't actually lose a life during the opener.

The second run was really good for my standards; I lost lives in some spots that i didn't before, but I got the best score of the three runs on this one. With that said, I really need to practice that particular Prismriver sister more.

The third run? From a survival standpoint, it felt like a trainwreck. Although I did score higher on this run than I did on the first run, that's probably because I was still bombing for cherry like I had been in the second run.

[chirpy13]

Oops.  Pacifist run, I went up to graze forgetting which attack this was and got shot in the face instead :<.  It was a sloppy run anyway though.

[Mr Jovial]

Other ways to not perfect Youmu:
1. Don't move enough when sidestepping the knives in the 2nd non
2. Forget to sidestep to dodge the aimed blue pointers in the midboss non
3. Run into one of the slashes in God's Flashing Slash

[cactu]

I guess these count as derps.

[Noobzor]

So, first EoSD normal run since a while, I just decided to go for a random 1cc. Everything went pretty well until stage 5, when I tried to supergraze mid-boss Sakuya's nonspell. And apparently I completely forgot how to do it. Died 3 times. Yup. 3 times. Derp.

[Hella Jeff]

Just about every time I make it to Princess Tenko or Yukari's Spiriting Away, I finish the spell in their collision hitbox.  I never have captured those spells without ending up in their stupid hitbox.

[cactu]

Died on The World on a NMNB run, then died on Eternal Meek trying to safespot it. Perfect Remilia for 2MNB ;_;

[an unmatched sock]

ReimuA in DDC. On Normal. I haven't had so much difficulty with a ReimuA since EoSD. So many deaths from bullets I didn't even see.

Perfect example: Stage 2, near the end, when the green and yellow fairies circle around and occasionally fire a blue bullet or two. I unfocus and start taking them down, and just as they all get cleared off the screen, a lone bullet flies lazily into my back. Not sure how I didn't see it.
