Touhou Accomplishment Thread 21: Time to go FULL SHMUP

[Andrew]

ISC scoring:

1-5: 1.38M
6-7: 12.9M
8-2: 3.6M

[Inadequate]

I've played ISC a bit during the past week as well. 24 hours, if we were to go by the time the game has tracked. But I think I've left it open on the background for a good couple of them. I didn't feel like putting a lot of mind into most of what I did, resulting in fairly half-hearted results. Attempt counts vary, but I'm unsure whether to trust them: some of them seem way too high and others too low. Most of the scenes are fairly silly, or luck based, but there are a few attacks I like. A fair majority of what I did with the game belongs to the luck or silly building, though. - It was effectively very easy to get a so-so score in scenes where the grazing consists of sitting on a single spot and waiting for my invulnerability to wear out.

1-2: 5.772M
2-1: 2.658M
2-5: 830k
3-1: 10.129M
3-6: 4.456M
4-1: 2.929M
4-2: 2.268M
5-1: 2.236M
5-6: 5.474M
5-7: 1.617M
6-5: 4.645M
6-7: 13.232M  (There seems to be a new strategy for this, allowing 20M+ scores, but it feels a tad bit annoying to do, as it requires lucking out the correct camera angle enough times. Or maybe there is something to control it with? I don't know, I'll put more research into it tomorrow, as this is certainly one of the better scenes in the game.)
8-1: 970k
8-2: 3.790M
10-1: 3.273M
10-2: 16.182M
10-4: 6.237M
10-5: 10.923M
10-6: 2.018M
10-10: 4.260M

ISC all scenes clear. All nicknames unlocked (except the hidden 10). 30 spellcards captured without items. Done within 12 hours and 20 minutes of playing. Special thanks to those who helped me with those two spellcards.

[nintendonut888]

I too will post THE SCREEN.



Yeaaaaah. Do we have any translation for this yet, by the way? I can't find it on the wiki.

[Mr Jovial]

There's some translations on Touhou Patch Center but I'm not sure how complete it is.

EDIT: Jumping on the bandwagon, all scenes clear, except I don't know how to screenshot in fullscreen so I can't post THE SCREEN :<

[Mero]

So, after losing four times with Reimu, I switched to Marisa and got this first try


I love how you can just kill bosses with the charge laser instead of reflecting them

[I have no name]

Killed ISC 10-9 in under 30 seconds, before the timer could start displays its ticking down.  The umbrella was useful for once!  I actually think this is how ZUN intended you to do it, since it makes the difficulty much more in-line with the rest of the stage with items.

Admittedly, this does throw a monkeywrench in any ISC ILs...

[SirSlarty]

Recent accomplishments:

Cleared all days for ISC. (got all achievements up to 60)

Ten Desires 1cc Normal with Sanae. Been working on that for about two weeks.
Then proceeded to 1cc Ten Desires on Normal on a complete whim with Marisa on the first try.

Press Home or P Speaking about THE SCREEN, my Toshiba laptop seems to leave weird scratches whenever I take screenshots of ISP. It's quite annoying :ohdear:

TH14.3 - Safespot trick on Day 2-3 with Cursed Decoy Doll + Yin-Yang Orb (Tiny Hitbox)

ISC combo breaker incoming: I just beat Raiko, so I'm a very happy bunny. 'Pristine Beat' is very fun to play, I shan't lie.
Oh, and to lessen the combo-breaker-y-ness of this post, I'm a mere one scene away from 'clearing' ISC. It was quite fun to play a game I reached Day 10 on in one real-life day.

Hey guys I beat ISC in under 42 minutes :V

But seriously there's 3 minutes in large mistakes here*, to say nothing of potential route improvements+smaller optimizations.  Also, I found out playing 10-10 while trying to shotgun is really fun.

_{*20 seconds on 3-4, 30 on 8-6, 30 on 9-5, 40 on 10-6, and 60 on 10-9 from failing the hammer strat a few times}

[BurntToast12]

After exactly 138 Retries.
That Is All Folks!

*Also, Thanks To My Friend Who Kept Supporting Me*

Honestly, beating 10-9 no-item might be more difficult than full-clearing the game in less than an hour, assuming you figure out easy strats for scenes beforehand. Just about every scene has an item combination that makes it trivial.

It -is- a game I'd consider speedrunning sometime though, as I'd mentioned before. IHNN you should stream it sometime

[BurntToast12]

That's 10-4, Not 10-9, And Also, Not The Post Before Me, The PostS.

I'm don't like speedrunning much, as I make maaaaaaany mistakes.

books are fun

ALMOST got a Normal 1cc in SA. Note that I reached stage 6 only once before, and only with this shottype. But this time, I got all the way to the final spellcard for the first time. It's much harder than Easy version, so I paniced and lost two lives. Though I don't know whether all those bombs I didn't use would help. Still, had some awesome moments like capturing "Fixed Star" with no power (Safespot? What safespot?) and doing very well on "Hell and Heaven Meltdown" (that derpdeath was where I started panicing).

[PurpleTheGuy]

Hey guys, it's been a while! So, as of just earlier, I finally managed to get my 1st ever 1cc of Great Fairy Wars! Man, that was awesome I did it, that game used to beat me so bad before, but wow, I sat down for an hour, and well, I just it! It actually wasn't that hard to do, haha (Well, before that, I've been doing practice mode "Legendary" (Lunatic) mode for Perfect Cherry Blossom for a few hours beforehand and throwing in a few credits before I got a little miffed at restarting stage 1 over and over for a bit because of silly mistakes, making me decide to do some other game, so that might have helped out a bit)! It felt like beating down a bully that always used to mess with me! :3

Spoiler:

Replay's up now

Well, the score was rather meh, but considering what it was, this is a nice start! For the 1st time, I put a stop to the great fairy plan to hold the human village ransom for a hundred billion scorepoints, lol! (That part wasn't actually in the game. Lame Austin Powers joke, I know.)

Great Fairy Wars is actually quite a nice game, and wow, the art in that game was quite nice! Cirno and the Three Fairies of Light were very well drawn, just like in the manga Touhou Sangetsusei, done by the same artist, Makoto Hirasaka, who did that same manga!

[CyberAngel]

YEEESSS! SA Normal 1cc!!! :toot:

Man, that final spellcard IS hard. Just watch me losing all those lives to it. I feel no shame for gameovering on it the last time or any time in the future. Still, some awesome playing from me in that run. Like several 0 power spellcard captures.

Spoiler:

Also, that "Tears of Blood" line isn't there when you watch credits after an Easy clear, so it's the first time I've seen it. Actually made me giggle out loud.

[Jaimers]

I played some more touhou 14.3 and actually no-item'd 10-7. o/

Only 10-4 and 10-5 left.

10-5 is just super annoying and luckshit and I don't really get 10-4 as I can't seem to kill it in time before the second shitstorm starts.

[I have no name]

Woo I got a star score on royalflare for ISC...probably won't last too long, but in the meantime I'm pretty satisfied with this.

[Reiko]

I finally captured Lunatic VoWG.
Many thanks to Chirpy (?) for the various practice patches, it helped a lot.
I'll try to NMNB the whole stage 6 next.

[CyberAngel]

Alright, got another SA Normal 1cc! Nitori's shield is very useful for survival. Also, here's my best Hard attempt.

[Quukii]

Virtue of Wind God Timeout
It was done using the practice patch that Chirpy recently shared (Thank you very much for sharing it!). Also, I managed to get an EoSD NMNB Stage 6 on Lunatic several days back, which I'm also pleased about.

[nintendonut888]

50 scenes cleared no-items in ISC. /o/ Just got serious about this the past couple days, I've already come pretty far I'd say. There are some serious barriers ahead, but after handling things like 4-6 and 4-3 I feel like I could take it all...just don't ask me how I'm to manage 10-4. >_>

Well done on both of those awesome achievements!

[Jaimers]

So Donut got me to play some more 14.3 so I beat all the scenes without using items now!   :dragonforce:

LYX may have beaten me in real-time but I still have the moral victory in that I no-item'd all scenes in 4 hours less game-time! :V

Video coming soon I guess.

Video coming soon I guess.

And here it is.
