So I kind of quit touhou for ages (played very sporadically) because UFO lunatic is frustratingly difficult.

So instead I recently started playing PCB and IN again, finally got an LNB run of PCB (derped and got 1 border break iirc), though honestly the run itself was full of silly mistakes and ridiculous flukes. Can't say I'm not happy about the achievement though. Will probably aim for an actual respectable run (5 or so deaths, not cheesing stage 4) at some point.

Just cleared 9-1 and 9-6 in Shoot the Bullet. Now I can FINALLY move on to stage 10 scenes.

Perfect Fairy Wars Extra Stage

I'm so done with this stage.

Reiko · « **Reply #603 on:** March 16, 2014, 01:42:13 PM »

Captured all the Last Words, using Remilia only (video).
Total Purification took way too many attempts, and Fantasy Heaven was the mandatory blind luck capture.

Time to get back to EoSD.

Congrats Quukii, that's impressive!

Hainiryuun · « **Reply #605 on:** March 17, 2014, 02:43:56 AM »

Finally unlocked all the IN Last Words. Was sitting on the last 4 for the longest time, but I finally got the patience to do all of Marisa solo on Normal and do Hourai Elixer on Hard (I detest long survival cards). Now to actually capture them all.

Reiko · « **Reply #606 on:** March 17, 2014, 11:21:09 PM »

Cleared PoFV Lunatic at 75fps (with Marisa).
Quite an ugly run, but whatever.

Ohhh, it's so exhilarating to get to witness Imperishable Shooting for the first time. Touhou is definitely the most atmospheric shmup I've played.

Got my first LNB ever today. It was in EoSD.

It was a pretty embarrassingly bad run only saved by the fact that Remi played nice with me for Gensokyo.

A clear is a clear I suppose.
I'll have to come back and improve this later.

PCB Lunatic 1cc

Got this on my second try after grinding stage practice for a few hours. First attempt was ended by my computer crashing. As you might expect from a first 1cc, it's kind of a sloppy run. 2 deaths with bombs in stock, and lots of stage portion bombs. Captured Hell God Sword, then immediately proceeded to die to the tap streaming nonspell right after it. :V

Oddly enough, PCB Lunatic took me less effort to 1cc than SA on Hard.

Been a while since I've posted here, but I finally broke 1 billion in PCB Normal :getdown:

Gonna try my hand at PCB Easy

cactu · « **Reply #612 on:** March 19, 2014, 08:08:07 AM »

Nice job Kits! Even though you say it's a bad run, I still think it's impressive. I remember my first LNB, it was an amazing feeling. Can't wait to see you improve your run.

I see that this is absolutely no accomplishment for you guys, but I managed to 1cc EoSD on normal. http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=32588

As you can see, I suck.

CyberAngel · « **Reply #615 on:** March 21, 2014, 11:27:21 AM »

Unless you easily got something on your first try, it's worthy to be called an accomplishment. Also, accomplishments are relative, so if it is one for you, it's worth to be proud of. And EoSD Normal is far from trivial, I can tell you that. Anyway, welcome to the community, I guess.

I definately seems to be trivial for you guys, since it seems that many of you are capable if 1ccing PoDD, the hardest game in the series, on lunatic.

Sakurei · « **Reply #617 on:** March 21, 2014, 11:30:58 AM »

By many you mean 5 people or so? Not very many people play PoDD at all and therefore not all that many people here have 1cc'd PoDD as a result.

It wasn't trivial to any of us when we started. Don't go trying to compare yourself with people who literally have years of experience with these games.

Sakurei · « **Reply #619 on:** March 21, 2014, 01:13:30 PM »

There is nothing wrong with comparing yourself with better players. I do it all the time. It only becomes a problem if you take their standards when you're obviously not ready yet.

Youmu · « **Reply #620 on:** March 21, 2014, 01:18:09 PM »

Will I ever be "ready"? I think not. I have a sub-human reaction time, I'm mentally retarded, and I get too anxious (which makes me clip everything).

Congratulations, a normal 1cc is always a great step towards improvement!

Don't let the usual community standards deter you from being happy about your achievements.

Heh, I've been there once. I used to think I would never be able to advance past some point. Well, I'll just say that even if you think it's impossible for you to get better, it doesn't mean you can't exceed your own expectations. Your reflexes can sharpen, you can learn tricks how to do stuff properly, and you can get used to the pressure and learn not to panic. It just needs time. Maybe weeks, maybe months. But you might surprise yourself with how good you can get if you go on.

I'm not sure who this is directed at. But all I was trying to say is not to let people prevent him from being happy with his achievement. Of course he is entitled to his own opinion.

I just worry that the community standards may influence people to be discouraged from feeling great about anything they do.

If he truly believes his run sucks, all the more power to him.

This whole situation. Why can't we just say congrats without mentioning the community?

My first EoSD Normal 1cc (as well as my first 1cc ever) left me with 0 lives and 1 bomb. Looking back on it now, my gameplay is disgusting, but I was ecstatic the day I won that. My bombing was more liberal than [insert political joke here], and I still lost the three lives I got to Stage 6 with, and wasted a good four or five perfectly usable bombs. If you're looking at score, I didn't even break 90 million. Yet now, here I am, with an EoSD Hard 1cc under my belt (the only two Normal ones I haven't gotten are GFW and PoFV because Aya) and trying for a PCB Hard 1cc (so difficult...).

The point is, just keep practicing at it. If I make a run, I move on, I personally don't particularly care about no-miss no-bomb runs. As long as I can beat it, I'm fine with it. It just takes practice. Practice practice practice. Don't beat yourself up over a few tiny mistakes.
