Touhou ParseeRAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE Thread Part 4

[Bananamatic]

I hate SA Stage 1 with a passion.

Yeah, the first time I've started Lunatic just to clear it for practice, it looked like a complete overkill.
And Yamame's final card is completely batshit IMO :V

[theshirn]

Alright what the hell.

I can't get through HARD WRIGGLE without dying?

What the hell?

Every single time I pass stage 1, I reach at least Orin.
But I only come out of it without dying once every 20 or so tries.

Why do you keep pissing around on lower difficulties so much?  You've already 1cced two Lunatics, pick a new one and start grinding dude.:V

I agree...

Once I 1cc one game I move on to another one or next difficulty and never come back

I guess I only find the games entertaining for their difficulty.

It's like real life....you won't learn anything new if you keep playing on lower difficulties, nor will your danmaku skill improve.
But it's fun to look back a few months later and think "wow was it really that easy? why did I finish 0/0 back then?"

That reminds me....it's been fun hard mode, but now I have to move up and rage even more.....

[theshirn]

Because I'm using different shot types?  I'm not inclined to do it with the other games, but IN is pretty fun to mess around.

But yeah, I should really 1cc PCB (Yuyuko's third noncard), PoFV (Shiki with three lives and 5m to the fourth) or MS (Devil's OHMYGODage) already...

[Tsym]

I hate myself.  I either bomb too little or I panic bomb too much.  I can't find the balance.  Plus on the most recent EoSD run I had, I died so many times with bombs in stock it's not even funny.  Screw you Sakuya.

[BoLaD]

I don't see how people find Ichirin on hard to be all that. She's easily the easiest stage 3 boss on hard- I can frequently 1-bomb her.
On topic: SA's extra stage needs to stop killing me.

I think I've no death'd her on my 1cc. Not sure and can't check atm.
Still, most of her cards make me rage.

I can figure out most other patterns, but I just see no way out of these, just like out of Shou's nonspells.....but this is stage 3, not 5....this shouldn't be happening.

This is why even I make the occasional venture into lunatic. It's even rage-worthy for the lolfail on Gold Detector.

[Toasty]

I didn't capture hourai elixir.

Baw.

[Nine West]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

FOUR DEATHS AGAINST MIMA IN PoDD LUNATIC

I don't think I've raged at a character as much as I did just now.

[Rook]

Hey! I 1cced PCB Hard, I should get around to seeing Marisa's ending on Normal!

*walks into a bullet on Benevolent French Dolls*
*dies twice on Youmu's midboss noncard*
*dies to Human Sword*

...maybe not.

[Seian Verian]

...Okay, I think something's wrong with me. I'm bored as hell, but when I think about trying to 1cc SA Normal, I don't want to... I don't wanna try UFO or PoFV again either, and anything else just almost feels like it would be pointless...

What happened to me? I used to be able to have tons of fun playing Touhou, but now, everything just feels either pointless or painful x.x

[LHCling]

That's perfectly normal. You get frustrated to the point of not being motivated enough to play. It happens to me a lot. At that point, I normally swap games for a while, or have fun testing myself.

Anyway...

Why the hell did I die there? And there? And there? I could've 1cc'd goddammit.

[theshirn]

BAITY

YOU MUST RECORD YOURSELF BEATING SOEW EXTRA

BECAUSE

GODDAMNIT

I JUST BLEW AN HOUR AND A HALF OF MY EARLY-MORNING-SHOULD-BE-SLEEPING LIFE and I got to EES three times.  4/0, 3/1, 3/1, all full power.

I have a strategy that gets me there 3/1 and full power fairly consistently (hint: it involves dying on the fairies at the beginning.  Twice.) but I keep clipping EVERYTHING AND HIS MOTHER because it's SoEW.  Once there, though...I usually screw up both parts of the first phase, I screw up part 1 of the second but can do the second half, Flaw of Unforgiving Tank is complete CRAP (I've managed to make a single back-and-forth dodge ONCE), and I just can't react fast enough to the parts after that.

Ignore the glitched explosions which are the consequences of recording at 30 FPS.
I should probably get around to perfecting / 1LC'ing it sometime  :V

[AlexX Unlimited]

GRAH! I managed to 1CC IN once before, why can't I do it again?

.........god DAMN it

Because, yes, it's another case - and a very EXTREME case - of "I know how to do it, I'm just not good enough".  I was afraid of that.

Also, you're ridiculously good at this, you know that, don't you?

I suppose  :V

Then again, it might be because I actually practice(d) NF runs a lot, so I'm used to the "harsh" mechanics (at the time).

[theshirn]

It's not the lack of focus that screws with me, it's the hitboxes, deathbomb, and LACK OF BOMBS.  That's what really hurts.  Thus the strategy; it's the only way I can reach EES with full power.  Otherwise, I die on the green blobs, still have to bomb them, and die again to the circles of doom at the end.

[Formless God]

I never thought this would happen to me... I failed QED as Flan was exploding !!

[AlexX Unlimited]

Did a VS with a friend in PoFV.

I was Reisen and he was Marisa, but I can't blame the character on my screw-ups... Lag reduced us to ~12 FPS and yet I somehow managed to emberass myself considering how fast I died. >.<

[LHCling]

After taking the time off to study LLS, I finally find a way to parse Max Rank Kurumi's "Rings of Death" so that I can survive it without dying. Brb, water.

[Zengeku]

Yeah, the first time I've started Lunatic just to clear it for practice, it looked like a complete overkill.
And Yamame's final card is completely batshit IMO :V

Its pretty fun Banana.

[LHCling]

LLS Elly Spoiler:

Spoiler:

The tiles are collectible. No really, use a bomb and run over them. They can be either Point Items or Power items, and they will add to your counter / meter. Alternatively, you can just ram into them. They have a hitbox obviously so do that at your own risk

.
I decided to maximize my Bullet Clear Bonus on Elly's "secret" mini-phase and all I get...



...is that much. Keep in mind that Kurumi gives about 2 million (the density remaints pretty consistent), and Orange can easily give you about 3 million if you're patient enough. Ending Elly just about anywhere else will give you only around 500k to 1 million.

[lmagus]

So the two hardest parts in a SA Hard run for me are Yuugi and Orin.

Yuugi really shouldn't be that hard...

[Arcengal]

SA Lunatic.

Get to the end of Stage 3 with SEVEN LIVES.
Lose TWO LIVES in STUPID WAYS to MIDBOSS ORIN in stage 5.
Game over at Blazing Wheel.
FORGET TO SAVE THE REPLAY.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHH.

[Ai-chann]

I was about to 1cc PCB until I got to the Reflowering spell card.  Had to use TWO continues to win.  ;_;
