IN extra, Border Team: Have less than 3 million points when Keine's dialogue starts. The rest of the stage doesn't matter.
For the record, my score was 259???0.

Beat EoSD without capturing any cards.

I don't even know if this is possible but it just popped into my head. :

Technically, you could bomb all of the cards, and do well on the nonspells...?

I should try that on normal! :D

I've almost 1CC'd IN Normal with my left eye covered up, nearly making me blind.

... that's about what it would look like for me if I didn't wear my glasses. Which is now kind of tempting. Though I think things I could actually reasonably do like that are IN Easy and PoFV Easy.

Playing Touhou glasses-less sounds like it could be a fun recipe for disaster... I should try it sometime.

The only real challenge I've given myself is all blue UFOs in the UFO demo. I managed to get through the St.3 midboss battle on easy.

Actually, it was (and still is) my best run of Normal. Then again, I bombspammed everything during and after Keine, but that's a different story.

I really should play IN again sometime soon. It's been months since I last attempted a 1CC.

I need to practice EoSD Normal more... Normally, I get to Sakuya before needing to continue, but I've been game over-ing as early as Cirno now. Maybe going for a no-glasses run would work as a warm-up...

Oh jeez, I never realized just how much I challenge myself. Let's see:

Play difficulties WAY above where I'm at
Blind run of IN Normal (Failed at Kaguya)
Completely blind against Normal EoSD Rumia (Failed at Night Bird)
Played with mouse + tried S6 Path A for the first time, IN Normal (1CC)
No-focus run of EoSD Normal (Failed at Sakuya)
Pacifist run + grazewhoring EoSD Normal (or was it Hard?) (Failed somewhere around Meiling)
Trying to (and almost did) capture VoWG Normal on my first try against it. (Got hit by last possible bullet as Kanako was blowing up)
Regularly playing MarisaB in UFO (lolno)

I'm sure I've done more, but that's just off the top of my head.

Same. I'm afraid of breaking them again because I've done that once already :V

Maybe I won't have to wear glasses if I send in my touhou replays.

1) Pacifist, no focus, graze all the time, make sure your character dances to the BGM playing

2) Play with the keyboard behind you

3) Play with the top half of your monitor covered

4) Play with the BOTTOM half of your monitor covered

5) any combination or permutation of 1 through 4

You know, I should do another no-glasses-right-eye-only run. my eyes have gotten MUCH worse since my first blind run.

I guess I'll try EoSD Normal. I'll edit this post with the details and maybe a replay when it's over.

EDIT: Alright, I just finished. Stage 1 & 2 were pretty easy (With the exception of S2's almost-the-same-color-as-the-background-bullets.) Died on Meiling once due to a bullet that snuck up on me. Stage 4 was alright. Stage 5 however, took away most of the lives I had been saving for later. I think I entered stage 6 with 2 or 3 lives, died to a fairy and to Eternal Meek. Got to Remi with only 4 bombs in stock and game over'd in the last few seconds of her last card. Oh well.

Heh, I bet no-glasses left-eye-only for me would be HORRENDOUS.

Though maybe not judging from just straight-up no glasses...

Um guys you still have work to do.  Hop to it. :V

You can also try capturing Reisen's first spellcard no vert.  I didn't actually test it though, so for all I know it could either be trivial or impossible.

I tried it once on Lunatic.  That was all the motivation I needed to never do it again.

Whether you're on Easy or you're a Lunatic, be damn proud of your accomplishments.  Don't let anyone convince you otherwise, for it's when you lose faith in your own achievements that those victories become defeats.

1cc Highly Responsive to Prayers no bombs.

Well Baity (since I know NOBODY else likes HRtP), now's your chance to do those "skillful" runs you always go on about. :V

nintendonut888: Hey Baity. I beat the high score for Sanae B hard on the score.dat you sent me. X3
Baity: For a moment, I thought you broke 1.1billion. Upon looking at my score.dat, I can assume that you destroyed the score that is my failed (first!) 1cc attempt on my first day of playing. Congratulations.

Actually you can try it. Because I did that SA Lunatic 1cc with MarisaC. Additionally, I can't upload any full runs at the moment.

EDIT: I'll do it on Easy  :V
Will consider "Hourai Elixir" at Hard. Definitely not Lunatic. On second thought, nah. Too many restarts to actually get going.
Here's an eaiser one (tested it out just then):

"Event Horizon" (or equivalent for those of you who play on a lower level  :V) No Vertical timeout. Optionally, you can also add a No Focus to it.
