Most Embarassing Touhou Moments

[mew77]

I could probably get to 10000 on that Enigma although at my skill level I could never get that far

[Zengeku]

I have a very dark secret. Which isn't really a secret. Here it is:

I suck at Nitori's 2nd spellcard. I just had a perfect Nitori battle but i died three times to the 2nd card. And that is supposed to be easy. Is this really how hard i fail whenever glowing bullets are being used?

PS: I have a better caprate at Complete Clarification than at Nitori's 2nd card. I don't even remember the cards name!)

You have my most sincere condolences. Really embarassing.

did a random run on EoSD Lunatic


"alright!! Im gonna perfect remi this time!!"



orz....

ok, that was just silly. i normally do better on this boss, tried a practice stage and got a no death clear.... what the hell, is remillia that random??

[Ionasal kkll Solciel]

In a word, yes.

[MysTeariousYukari]

This is my Stage 3 Normal run for SA I failed to beat it, but the end of the Replay is fitting for this topic, it's also kinda funny now that I'm past it.

Gensokyo.org says it's Practice Stage 3, but it wasn't.

[AmyAnnie14]

 PCB Sakuya B Normal Stage 3.  I'm still not exactly sure what was going on when playing, all I remember were my thoughts.   It was right after Alice drops the extra life.  heres what went through my head "Oh sweet, I forgot she dropped that! Ok get to the PoC...crud fairies! Ok get back down and grab the--wait...whered the extra life go....crud i missed the drop! " At the time I still had 2 lives and 3 bombs (this was the first time I had used Sakuya B and was trying to get used to the controls) but it was still a fail run for me and I rage quit.  >.>  Can a normal level player even do that?

[Azinth]

So I tried doing a PCB Lunatic run for the first time in, damn, like 6 or 7 months?  Whatever, it's been a pretty long time.

If you'd like a summary of exactly how bad it was, let me just say this:  My third and second to last deaths were on Youmu's penultimate card.  The first of those deaths was because I stayed at the bottom of the screen.

Apparently I can still micromem-dodge all of Alice's static patterns like they're nothing though. >_>

[Zengeku]

I just lost 6 perfect runs against Marisa.

1 at Event Horizon
2 at Double Spark
and 3 at Starlight Typhoon.

How do i keep performing marvelously at all the hard stuff and fail at the piss easy stuff? Its annoying and embarassing. I'm gonna have to stop playing Touhou for now. I'll get back to it tomorrow.

But damn... three mistakes... in a row... at Starlight Typhoon? I must be cursed!

[Pai!]

This happens so often...

I'm playing IN, ON EASY, and for some reason I always run into the VERY FIRST BULLET THAT COMES ON THE FIELD... BACKWARDS. I'm coming down from item grab and I back right into the very first bullet fired in the stage.

[MysTeariousYukari]

You manage to beat Stage 1 without any enemy firing a bullet? Or do you use the Magic Team? I'm pretty sure you need Full Power or to be using Magic Team in order to use the Auto-collection line.

[Alice★f]

In IN, you can use auto collection by going to the PoC and holding Shift.

[Naut]

Walkin' down the hall of shame.

[Demonbman]

I was bored one day, getting mad at UFO Normal (dammit Shou!) So I decided to play UFO Easy. 1ccd it. I was like holy hell so I went to play UFO Normal again and Got owned by Nazrin. Noooo Sanae why??!!

[Patorikku]

Beat UFO easy with a good life count of 4 and bomb count of 4. Yet, with Normal, I can barely make it to stage 4 with more than one life.

Now see, it might just be because of Unzan's ridiculously huge brofists, but that never helps with the next stage, which ends up being more of a clusterf**k than Murasa will ever be.

[Gandalph]

OK, I just used a continue in UFO Easy at Nazrin.

I failed at stage 1 easy. Shit.

I'm not even sure what to say about that. I've been trying to beat UFO easy pretty much since it came out. Never been successful, but I've always at least gotten to Kogasa before continuing. If I'm lucky, I might even see Murasa before I am crushed by anchors. But I've never lost to Nazrin before today.

[Alice★f]

Lunatic

That IS DEDICATION right there.

I no longer feel shame in having over 300 tries in SA Extra without victory.

[The Greatest Dog]

I forgot to break a Blue UFO...
On stage 6...
Of the space invader fairies.

Oh, and...

EDIT: Is it just me, or is the first picture seriously bugging out on me?

Ah well. I 1cc'd UFO Normal with Marisa B once apparently, and that's all it's saying.

[Naut]

>250mil score for Marisa B Extra screenshot

That's currently only 3 mil less than the current Marisa B record on the UFO scoreboards here on MotK. Have you considered posting your score?

EDIT: Is it just me, or is the first picture seriously bugging out on me?

Bugs out for me as well. Try reuploading (save it as a .jpg first too).

That IS DEDICATION right there.

Gotta have your priorities straight
Mine are not.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

My IN Lunatic 1cc got less score than my IN Lunatic run that game overed on Hourai Jewel.

[Zengeku]

Hi. I suck at Touhou. I had a Koishi No-bomb run - perfect up to Genetics. Then i die to it. And her survival. And twice to Subterranean Rose. Super poor performance.

[Milkyway64]

I suck at Touhou. I had a Koishi No-bomb run - perfect up to Genetics.

These two sentences next to eachother is just WRONG.

[Pai!]

Me + EoSD Easy + Cirno = Need for Continue.

It's so pathetic...

[nintendonut888]

I just failed EX Kanako's second spell card.

This...this is it. This is the end of my Touhou career. See you all, it's been fun.

Me + EoSD Easy + Cirno = Need for Continue.

It's so pathetic...

Aside from Icicle Fall, her attacks (including shotgun noncard and Perfect Freeze) are actually kind of tough for an Easy player.

[LHCling]

I feel so terrible.

[09:11] <Baity> finally beat the WR for 5-5 over
[09:11] <Baity> with half of my shots being sub-standard olololol

I seriously have to be an incredibly slow learner at this for the amount of time and effort I put into it. I've logged something like 50 IN lunatic stage 3 practice runs in the last 3 days and am only 'slightly' better than I was when I started. I think I still average something like 2 deaths and 4 death bombs per run, which is way to much resource usage if I want to try and 1cc this.

First Pyramid             11/49
Epemerality 137             13/49
General Headquarters Crisis    16/49
Three Treasures - Country    25/49
Legend of Gensokyo          10/49
Gods' Realm              3/30

(This isn't even counting 20-30 spell practice attempts on some of these)
I suppose, on the bright side, General Headquarters Crisis has gone from 'consistently dying two seconds in' to 'can capture more than half the time'. Other cards... not so much improved. Hell, I probably still run into something on her non-spells at least a third of the time >.<

Also, is it just me or is the jump from hard to lunatic in IN rather large? After a bunch of lunatic runs, I did one stage 3 hard run for a change of pace and perfected it >.>

[ark]

Isn't the Hard-Lunatic jump usually fairly large? Although IN seems to have a nice even spread between difficulty levels.

[jc_foster]

So I figure I'll do IN Easy and clean up all these sub-1 billion scores that I have. Start with Magic Team:

1. Perfect up to Midboss!Reimu. So far, so good.
2. Die on Fantasy Seal -Spread-. Wasted 7 bombs.
3. Forgot all about Duplex Barrier. Still capture it, somehow.
4. Die on Fantasy Seal -Concentrate-. Enter Stage 5 4/3.
5. Die to the first fairy in stage 5. This might be starting to go downhill ....
6. Die to Tewi's second attack (yeah, the easy one .... not that either are particularly hard -.-)
7. Die to Reisen's opener. Somehow manage to capture everything else. Start stage 6 3/1.
8. Miraculously, don't die to the stage and capture Eirin.
9. Proceed to fail Kaguya's first nine cards. The only reason I didn't fail Morning Mist is that I ran out of time before I could face it. -.-

Total bombs used: Four. Needless to say, I didn't bother attempting with any other teams .....

[theshirn]

Tried an EoSD no focus Normal run.

Wasn't trying very hard because I had to go to class very soon anyway.

Died on Perfect Freeze.

Kill me now.

[Chainsaw Guitar]

Aside from Icicle Fall, her attacks (including shotgun noncard and Perfect Freeze) are actually kind of tough for an Easy player.

This whole "baka" meme seems to exist for no other reason other than to give EoSD newbies a hard time when you think about it. Meiling is also considered a joke character but she's kicked my ass more times than any other stage 3 boss, that's for sure.
