Hey, peoples. Just a random (that made a random posts months ago a few threads ago) posting random achievements (within the last month) and possible goals:
Extra clears:
---SA (this used to be a douche, but then months passed, I got dodging skills and got a tight victory after some dumb early mistakes. This was probably my most proud achievement because of how CLOSE it was)
---UFO (Took a bit before I could get the stage properly down and get resources enough, but I wound up with a 2-bomb (and 5 death LOL) clear and a random "Nightmare of Heiankyo" capture
---TD (A run that was first destined for greatness (first death at "Sixth Duel: Tanuki's Monstrous School") but then my first death claimed my important trance for "Seventh Duel: Wild Deserted Island" which gave me 2 complete deaths. Wound up with NO resources for her last two spells and had no faith in winning, but I tried anyway. I got a random capture of BOTH of them)
---GFW (Possibly the most infuriating and ridicuously fun Extra. Marisa knows how to put up a fight and have fun about it. Good times)
---PoFV[Komachi] (Random 2nd or 3rd attempt of it got me to the end, which was a surprise. Eiki, though, is not going to be fun)
Normal clears:
---PoFV[4/12] (Well, 3 were more recent, but getting a 1CC on this is a pain (thank goodness they're not needed for the Extra unlock, just beating Shikieiki). Still, I guess I had ENOUGH dodging to reap a few more 1CC's than I expected ^w^)
Hard clears(!):
---MoF (Cleared it today and did NOT expect to. I purposefully used bombs whenever there was a hint of danger just to see how far I could go. Had 4 lives at the beginning of S6, but them SOMEHOW lost 2 of them carelessly. Despite that, I managed a 0-resource finish, using 5 bombs on VoWG(Hard) alone. That is definitely one of the best cards out there)
This brings my stats to:
Normal: 2, 4, 5, 6-14 (including 12.8 )
Hard: 10
Extra: 2, 6-8, 9(1/2), 10-14 (including GFW) [This means I'm one (half) extra away from kicking the arses of every Windows Extra Stage ^W^]
So far, my only goals are to complete every extra stage (so glad PoDD doesn't have one XD), then find the next Hard to play, which'll probably be EoSD because it was my first game (I finished MoF Hard first because it was my first Extra completion)
Youmu, this comes from a person who used to never get past Stage 4 of Normal on any game. Everyone starts with humble beginnings, even pros (Like Jaimers, who can get Perfect Lunatics and Ultra Lunatic 1CC's, which is INSANE). It's just about taking it one step at a time. Before you know it, you'll be able to tackle Extra, then Hard, and eventually Lunatic. But no use rushing to compare skills with someone who's had tons of practice (it's like comparing a first year with a college/university student, which is ridiculous).
My advise: Create some goals (like completing Touhou 7 and 8 on Normal) to aim for. As you finish them, create more. Some way through, you'll realise just how far you suddenly came.

Can't wait until I can complete Lunatic though...XD
EDIT (so I don't double-post): Just managed to succeed in a MoF NBExtra w/ 4 deaths >w<. I could probably improve it by finding ways to capture her last 3 spells, but this is enough for me ^w^)
