3rd IN L1MNB run. Another one that died to Life Spring Infinity. I kept going into the smaller spokes in the laser wheel (the ones where the safespot goes to a point rather than being open at the outer end) and because of this I got trapped and died (picture is of the wave that killed me):

In all fairness though, it was quite a messy run. Got lucky on Asteroid Belt, Tewi's 1st (some weird hitbox hacks happened on that) and then got hit a few frames after Rising World had ended when I was invulnerable. I probably cursed myself on Stage 5 when I said "Eh, I don't really want this run to be LNN, keep getting lucky dodges..."

At least I get to post this in the derp thread because it was entirely my own fault rather than RNG giving me shit.

DDC Lunatic double K.O. on Shinmyoumaru. I was using Marisa-B, probably the ~~cheapest~~ best character. I kind of fumbled through the last stage, and it was a nasty surprise to learn that the second-to-last spellcard has invincible walls of bullets. I'll have the 1cc soon enough. Maybe.

Got back to Touhou again after yet another break to start working on IN Lunatic. After a few hours, on my first run that reached stage 6b, I entered midboss Eirin with 5 lives. Should be more than enough to clear, right? Wrong! I somehow manage to lose every last one of them, including a whopping 5 DEATHS and 13 BOMBS to Kaguya alone. That's got to be some kind of record. With the help of Mr Jovial's perfect stage 6b video I'll learn how to do Hourai Jewel, and I should be able to get my Lunatic 1cc soon, but that embarrassing defeat is going to haunt me for awhile.

Had a 2 miss IN LNB. Should've been 1 miss but died a second time due to a domino effect. First miss was to Kaguya's 3rd non then not being at full power meant I had to turn the stream on Salamander Shield (which is unnecessary at full power using the slow streaming technique, turning the stream is also the only hard part of that attack). Ultimately did it wrong and died. On a different note, I have no idea how I did Rising World. The "oh shit a fast bullet coming towards me, panic-unfocus away without looking where I'm going" technique somehow worked out multiple times in a row.

Also, after raging about yesterday's attempts to get a decent run, I gave Stage 6b a whirl in stage practice yesterday to see how bad I would've gotten screwed had I made it to that stage. Would've been an NMNB Stgae 6b but I failed Rising World with probably no more than 1/3 of a second left. 00 on the timer and well into that last second, oh well.

Another 3-miss MoF NNB. One death at Sanae's last (what the fuck, seriously?), another 2 at Shrine Hunting ritual.
E.e
Oh well, still good.

...Another 3-miss MoF NNB, this time all three at Shrine Hunting ritual
I can regularly capture it in practice, why not when it really matters ;-; :V :colonveeplusalpha:

....I also find it funny how they're all exactly 3 miss runs.

All the PCB talk got me in the mood to play it again, so I thought I'd try to complete my set of Stage 4 Normal "Single Sister" Perfect runs by taking down Lyrica as Marisa A. I ended up getting a 1MNBNBB run instead. That one death? It was to Lyrica's third non-spell. :fail:

Mr Jovial · « **Reply #306 on:** October 04, 2014, 11:42:30 AM »

8th IN LNB run that failed 1 attack. Surprisingly, Kaguya's 2nd non was the culprit. Moved slightly too far to the left, overshot a gap and went into one of the bullets forming that gap. This raises a question for me. I've had so many 1 miss runs of Stage 6B and its been months since I actually perfected the stage. I don't know whether I should just keep practicing individual attacks and grinding clears or if I should take a short break from clearing and attempt to perfect this stage again. I've always gone for the former because its a select few attacks that I really need to practice (namely her first 5 attacks and Rising World). Since it's an 8 minute stage it's rather time consuming to practice. Not to mention that those 6 attacks aren't hard to practice using Spell Practice and the nonspell patch.

On a somewhat related note, I found it slightly weird how the first post on this page is me ranting about how I've got 3 1MNB runs :V :getdown::colonveeplusalpha:

I find Kanako's second spellcard attack to be disgustingly difficult. Every time. And I'm even playing on plebeian-ass Normal difficulty.

Regardless of character, I can't slip through those tiny little openings. I can't beat it on keyboard, or gamepad, or using my goddamn mouse as a controller (which I did do), and I'm sure that when I manage to set up a drawing tablet as a controller and try to play MoF on that, I still won't be able to beat this ring-shaped nightmare.

Is it actually hard / or am I just retard

Kanako's second spellcard attack

I don't know if you're already doing it, but just in case : holding down and pressing left/right at the bottom of the screen will make you move slower than regular focused speed. It really helps, not only for this spellcard but also for all the micrododging patterns.
Anyway, I used to bomb it in my 1cc attempts (regardless of the difficulty) ; one bomb should be enough if you're using ReimuB.

On topic : losing a round in PoFV stage 5 feels bad. :<

I have noticed this trick... but quite frankly I've never really thought to use it for justice like that. Thanks for reminding me of the might of creative game mechanic usage.

T'was attempting a perfect MoF run, as normal.
Suddenly, 1 death on Sanae's midspell, first nonspell, and first boss spell.
I quit that run out of anger. :colonveeplusalpha:

Story of my life:
I have narcolepsy (a recent discovery), which is the source of about 80% of my Touhou problems. Or any game for that matter. I die in the most stupidest of circumstances constantly. Probably my best game for me to play is PoFV (or Dim. Dream), as it is the most forgiving life-wise, easier to clear bullets and it's more likely to keep me awake, with the dual screens. Over the years, I have improved in leaps and bounds, and I've started playing games on hard. Which makes me happy, as I am pretty casual as a player. And a moron.

Basically, I have bouts where my brain just switches off just long enough to derp hard on something I know I could do flawlessly. Which has lead to me sometimes yelling at my computer at weird hours, to keep awake, and more recently, getting owned by some small-time fairies on PCB. I then yell "YOU NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR", as I casually railed by Letty or Chen. It's a good thing I enjoy these games and find this somewhat amusing. Being me is a series of derps.

Hi, I'm Chilakkuma and I'm here to make you all look good OuO

Have you tried playing the photo games or Impossible Spellcard? Only requires a minute or so attention and you don't lose much if you fall unconscious. Just a thought!

Fortunately, it's not face-in-cornflakes bad, just nano-second snaps, so I'd probably have the same issue lol. However, I haven't tried them yet, so I'll certainly give it a go, thanks

A few days ago I had my best run at TD. Had gotten to stage 5 with Reimu, only one death and 2 used bombs. I was extremely happy.
And then the lights went out.

There's also yesterday when I was clearing DDC's extra with Sakuya A. I was just about to capture Raiko's last spell. "Great, this is the first last spell I capture on an extra with no bombs or dying!" I cheerfully said to myself, miliseconds before dying exactly at the same time Raiko exploded. Fucking crotchet-rest bullets.

Kappa · « **Reply #315 on:** November 03, 2014, 03:41:18 AM »

Was playing DDC on pleb Normal difficulty, had a literal perfect run until the end of the Stage 2 boss, where things went downhill fast. Bombed twice on Sekibanki's last card, started dying countless times with reserve bombs at Stage 4 and beyond, had at least three double KOs, bombed on both of Seija's invert cards AND her flip card, died to Little Bullet with reserves, died on Sukuna's easy-ass laser NS, died, died, wasted bombs, died, died, died.

And the worst part of the entire thing...
...is that THIS was the time I 1cc'ed. Literally had a lower score than a failed run. Fuck.

At the very least, there were some absolutely laughable dodges which occurred. I'm keeping it for those.

ILikeBulletZ · « **Reply #316 on:** November 03, 2014, 05:39:17 PM »

You know that incredibly easy streaming section with the spirits of Stage 6 in SA?

You know how they slowly go down towards the bottom of the screen?

You know that its entirely possible to crash into THEM (not a bullet) and DIE? Yes, yes you probably do, as anything that's not a point/power items tends to kill you in these games, it should be obvious enough!

Not for me... That has got to be the most anticlimatic way to lose a life... LOL.

And it was on a serious run, too...

Sakurei · « **Reply #317 on:** December 04, 2014, 01:06:50 PM »

I ran into a stationary bullet on Imperishable Shooting after an otherwise ebin run (result wise). It was a tragic finish. I don't know why I'm not mad though. I laughed when it happened. I knew it was a PB after capturing Hourai Doll, but also knew I needed a capture for 3b. Next time...next time

t_prinny · « **Reply #318 on:** December 07, 2014, 05:45:25 PM »

Random PCB Extra pacifist attempt. Wasn't really playing seriously and something I wanted to try out for fun.

Died on Ran's first spellcard I think twice. One death was because I was looking at the spellcard bonus to see how much it is worth grazing if I decide to score later. Another death was because I apparently forgot how much I relied on reading how each wave comes instead of listening for the audio cues for each wave. If I try scoring, I'll just rely on listening to the timer. I don't have a good route to follow for the stage so I doubt I can score decently.

Also died to her non-spells. Sort of forgot to bomb but I wanted to see how well I could manipulate her first 3 non-spells.

I apparently forgot how to dodge Fox-Tanuki Youkai Laser until I got trapped. Run ended here since dying usually throws off my rhythm. Not getting the first dodge right also usually throws off how well I can survive this attack.

I don't play Extra nearly as much as Phantasm. Not exactly fully awake either since I sort of slept late last night. Didn't bother saving the run. Fun times considering that each death made me remember how I should be dodging each attack. Probably the only good thing that came out of this run was capturing both of Chen's spellcards, but I failed at her non-spell. :V

Was going to provide a replay of VoWG hard for the Gameplay Help thread... since I've timed out the lunatic version before, it should be easy right? 6 deaths in a row :colonveeplusalpha:

Needed to re-unlock extra because of the Easy mode bug, so I went for what should be a fairly easy SA Normal 1cc.

I died on Stage 1 from crashing into a rock at the POC. I didn't even get killed by a fairy, I got killed by a rock. :colonveeplusalpha:

Mr Jovial · « **Reply #321 on:** December 21, 2014, 01:06:13 PM »

Whoops, just had an IN extra run where I captured all spellcards. And how many deaths were in that run? 5. What's even worse is that only 1 of those was to Mokou's last nonspell. Apparently I'm hilariously bad at her nons :V

CyberAngel · « **Reply #322 on:** December 21, 2014, 02:06:02 PM »

Me: (got walled by Reimu's familiars) MOMMY! (life lost)
(1 minute later)
My mother: What is it?
Me: GAH! (another life lost due to surprise)

Of course it had to happen the one time I expressed my emotions without swearing.

Kurtis · « **Reply #323 on:** December 24, 2014, 01:59:49 AM »

I was attempting to finally Normal 1cc U.F.O for about the billionth time, and I did pretty well until I got to Byakuren; when I got to her, I was incredibly nervous. I apparently was so nervous that I lost ALL of my lives on her FIRST NON-SPELL. :colonveeplusalpha:

I can't tell you how many times I fought Byakuren in Practice mode and did extremely well. All that skill went away on my 1cc attempt, because nervousness got the better of me.

ふねん1 · « **Reply #324 on:** December 30, 2014, 10:52:46 PM »

Finally sitting down and trying to grind out a perfect IN Extra. The eighth nonspell is annoying if only because failing it means another ten minutes or more before I can try it again, though I am getting a bit more comfortable reading it higher up. So I get my first run in a long time that gets past the eighth nonspell, but I end up losing my composure and dying early into the yellow ring phase on Hourai Doll. >.< I know I can control myself better than this at least.

There is actually a script for practicing that attack (see here and check the description).

That definitely beats using the nonspell patch and cheat engine invincibility to get there (which is what I was doing).

I just had two attempts at a perfect IN Stage 6A fail during Hourai Elixir.

Hoh, but that's not the worst part. The second run failed during the first phase instead of the last, like what usually happens. >.<

How to fuck up a good run.

Get up to the bit right before Meiling without dying, ram a fairy, get walled twice on Meiling's opener and clip on Wind Chime of Colorful Rainbow.
RIGHT AS IT ENDED.
Fuck me.
