Touhou AAAGGHGHGAGHAGGHHHH thread #5

[Ghaleon]

I'm touhou's worst bomber I swear. I don't know how I developed this bad habit of never bombing until I hear the death chime. I played IN like least of all excluding UFO, and half of what little I have played of it wasn't even using border team. I'm confident I could 1cc every Touhou in the series if I wasn't such a dumbass with bombs. I die with more than 3 bombs in stock more often than not ffs. ghaghag.

Game overed on Lunatic Recollection "Wind God Hidden Among Tree Leaves"

This run should have at least made it to stage 5 if I didn't suck at stage 1 and 3.

several times on Yugi and her stage. Stage 4 was horrible too. Satori nonspells and Terrifying Hypnotism are still horrible.

Edit: Game over on boss Orin. What am I doing wrong, and don't even dare say using ReimuC. http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6898

How am I supposed to not fail at Yamame, stages 3, and 4.

[Lybydose]

don't even dare say using ReimuC.

Why are you using ReimuC?  :V

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

3 attempts consecutive attempts with ReimuA that didn't even make it past stage 1. Yamame's opener is fucking bullshit and killed me on each of them. Her last card is a pain too as I have yet to capture it. Rest of the fight is fine.

How does this relate to you thinking Reimu C is a good idea? :V

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

It was more rage, not an answer to the question.

I can get to stage 5 with both of them.

But as for why I used ReimuC that particular time, better bomb, easier Satori fight. I don't use gapping much outside of stage 6 anyway.

[nintendonut888]

The bomb is the ONLY good thing about Reimu C. Reimu A Satori may be harder (ARRRRRRRRRRGH), but her shot type is the only good one in the game, and Reimu C's is both harder to control and deals less damage.

Screw you, Cirno Shotgun!

Seriously, Cirno Shotgun is harder than 90% of what Sakuya throws at you. Or maybe it feels like that because you can basically sleepwalk through stages 1 and 2 and then BAM

edit: playing EoSD like once every two weeks at most probably also plays a part

[LHCling]

Yes! The last non-spell.

Extend!

*dies*

Now this should just be streami-

*delayed deathbomb*

...
Alright, maybe the last one; now if I can just-

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

Also, I had to change Shot Types.

[ebarrett]

ok screw it all, that feeling of having hit a ceiling is just awful.

Cirno's  opener is actually really easy.
Shotgun her at first. When she is about to fire the first wave, go to her left to misdirect it. Now go down the screen and tap twice to dodge the next two waves.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

Yamame's opener. How the fuck are you supposed to do this thing? I either bomb or die to it.

[LHCling]

1. Bah.

2. Got a "point-blank" (read: spawned in really close proximity, and aimed right at my position) laser during "Heian Dark Clouds" in a random NV UFO Extra that was going decently well (only 1 mistake thus far in); causing me to deathbomb by panic reflex.
3. Lost focus, made 2 mistakes on "Mysterious Snake Show".
4. In the same run, I also just fail to capture "Danmaku Chimera".
5. I then proceed to suicide 3 times to "Undefined Darkness" (reason being, not enough resources to survive... for me anyways).

Guess I'll finish it off tomorrow morning then.

SUBTERRANEAN SUN RUINED MY SA 1CC RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH
seriously, i died when she had only 1/8 of her lifebar left!

[Formless God]

Ultra Mode, first time ... 120 misses, 160 bombs.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-
This might not be a good practice tool after all ...

[Generalguy]

HRtP's weird learning curve :

HRtP Easy is BY FAR the hardest easy of the series. No freaking way you can 1cc that on your first try. Once you memorize the bosses and manage to control the orb so it doesn't kill you every 5 seconds it's not too bad.

HRtP Normal is HRtP Easy, except you have to dodge 2 to 10 bullets per 5 seconds in some stage. And the bosses are harder, somewhat.

HRtP Hard is HRtP Normal, with slightly harder bosses, but the strategies from Normal mostly work anyway.

So basically, if you can 1cc Easy, you can 1cc Hard.

Now, Lunatic. It's HRtP Hard, with a crapload of bullets appearring when you turn cards. All aimed at you. To chain the cards, you have to follow the orb around to kick it back up. So you're moving around. And the bullets are aimed. So they miss. Which means you can (almost) do the EXACT SAME THING you did on Normal in most stages.

This was supposed to be some kind of rant about how some players who can 1cc the Touhou shooters on Lunatic manage to find this game hard (streaming, 20 extra lives, nearly static stages).

Now if I could just remember how I installed HyperCam, so I can put it on a computer that doesn't suck, and prove I can still play without random slowdown.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

Midboss Wriggle, Minoriko, Yamame(and Kisume). Why do most of my Lunatic attempts end on stage 1? Then if I get past that, I just screw it up on stage 2 most of the time.

I still can't capture Yamame's first nonspell or her last spell. I usually have to bomb both of Minoriko's nonspells, but it's not as certain as Yamame.  Minoriko's final card as crap as well.

I've been having much more luck with SA than I have been with MoF and IN despite it being the hardest game of the 3. But then I fuck up Yugi's stage lasers, Yugi's midboss lasers, Yugi's boss lasers, Ooe and her last nonspell, stage 4 streaming, stage 4 lasers, Satori nonspells, Terrifying Hypnotism, the Recollections regardless of shot type. If I could actually get good at stage 3 and 4 I could possibly 1cc it. Oh, and not fucking up Yamame every time by having to bomb.

[Lybydose]

On my SA Lunatic 1cc I bombed Yamame's opener also also ended up bombing the final spell card for some reason.  I still reached boss Parsee with 4 power without dying.  Stage 2 and midboss Parsee are both fairly easy, but I was using ReimuA.

Actually, it's watching a video of ultra stage 5 that taught me that most of the bullets in the second half are aimed away from me. And does that mean it gives you unlimited continues or something?

HRtP rawr

HRtP relies on a different skill set than the shooters, so it's to be expected even lunatic players may find the game impossible. If I weren't such a DX-ball addict back in the day I may have felt the same way.

61cc on Normal

Did a test run. Got to Killing Doll before losing all continues (71 misses). In Ultra, 1 life fragment = 3 lives, 1 bomb fragment = 6 bombs, and only three continues :V

Yeah ... This might sound pathetic, but I used the trainer yesterday >_>

[ふねん1]

Yamame's opener. How the fuck are you supposed to do this thing? I either bomb or die to it.

How are you trying to do it? It does become rage-worthy when she moves too far down, but otherwise it shouldn't be that bad.

Unless she's staying way down for every wave when you fight her...

[Widermelonz]

I did this at 3 in the morning.

Overall run was pretty horrible, but this sealed the deal.

[Helion]

Extra run: it's a fail day, so I did everything I screw up well, and to compensate fucked up everlasting phoenix's tail. Then I got destroyed by Fujiyama volcano and Hollow Giant Woe.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

Just captured Kisume's bucket lasers just to get killed by one of the lasers because they didn't get cleared.

And I keep dying to Yamame's final card. I really would like to capture it as the power would help on stage 2.

[ふねん1]

Aghagh, I finally captured DBDB again, and I choke on BoWaP. In my nervousness I was trying too hard to make precise movements...

Just captured Kisume's bucket lasers just to get killed by one of the lasers because they didn't get cleared.

That's happened to me a couple times too. I don't know why it happens, but it's stupid. Doesn't help that they have hitboxes seemingly outside the laser itself...

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

I just died to Shackles a Criminal Can't Remove.

At least my Reimu A record is still perfect, but those Aya Shots fucked up her perfect record. Maybe I should have had them going sideways instead of vertically.

And I can't figure out any of the lasers in Stage 3. I need to get good at this stage.


Wait, shooting to the sides almost ended as a failure via timeout, what? I had to go back to vertical just to capture it in time, which of course caused some of the bubbles to appear.

[ふねん1]

I feel so n00bish right now. Why the fuck can't I 1cc SA Hard?

First time, the game crashes again after clearing Stage 5 with 4 extra lives. Again. Then after a horrible run of Stages 3 to 5, I game over at Subterranean Sun when Utsuho had literally a sliver of health left. And I was just about to safety-bomb, dammit! Next time I get to Stage 5, I die 3 times in the first yin-yang orb section because I had 3.95 Power and couldn't kill anything in time.

Why does this game hate me all of a sudden? What did I do to deserve this shit?

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

Just tried to unlock PCB Extra with another shottype.

ReimuA Normal. I game overed on Swallowtail Butterfly when the game didn't register a bomb.


I can 1cc many of the Hard modes, have gotten close on 3 Lunatics and have a legitimate chance at 4. But I can't consistently clear this on Normal. I blame stage 4 and ReimuA's crappiness, but mostly stage 4.
