Touhou Accomplishments VI

[?q]

Double Spark Lunatic No Focus No Vertical Timeout

Very easy to do.

I know Reimu's hitbox is small, but I'm still not sure how you didn't get hit by the lasers materializing while you were still inside them.

What's sad is that capturing this spell with Alice solo isn't all that much different from this video.

[LHCling]

Perfected EoSD Hard Stage 6 No Vert, save for "Scarlet Gensokyo" where I died twice due to fingers hurting (for once) and panic bombed once.

Don't think I'll be bothering again thanks to RNG shenanigans. Though... upload? y/n

EDIT: Now I'm curious as to which Stages (Hard, Lunatic or other) are possible to perfect NV.

[Zengeku]

Starlight Typhoon Lunatic No-Focus Timeout.

This spell is incredibly easy.

I would like to see it.

That be reason for me loving Reimu so much. Reimu's hitbox means that i have a little more clearance around bullets so clipping doesn't happen so much.

[Formless God]

Awwww ... you beat me to that NV handicap
Congrats anyway

Whatever i have done with Marisa have been pretty easy. Something you easily would be capable of immitating. The toughest i have done with Marisa is Asteroid Belt Lunatic No-Focus.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

I just gained the Lunatic title

Yes, an SA Lunatic 1cc

That was so satisfying and so much closer than I would have liked.

damn, nice :V

now 1cc UFO hard

[Lybydose]

ReimuC

What.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

But I hate UFO Hard. I'd rather do MS, EoSD< or PCB where I actually have a chance to 1cc Hard or now that that's out of the way IN, MoF, or PoFV Lunatic.

[Bananamatic]

PCB lunatic is rather easy :V

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

I'm willing to play almost any of the shottypes.

ReimuA is good of course.

ReimuB has autocollect a situationally decent bomb, and close range unfocused does okay damage, plus Satori is actually fun.

ReimuC has a the best bomb, the options can make some parts easier when used right, one of the easiest Satori's.

MarisA has spread and more bombs plus it's a decent bomb up close.

MarisaB has versatility.

MarisaC has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. She's inferior to ReimuA in every way and gets the hardest Satori fight.

[Lybydose]

Oh I see now.

looool This was really fun and hilarious.  Maybe it's because I haven't had much sleep and everything is funny.

Unfortunately this run didn't have a really sweet near simultaneous "reach 1 power" + deathbomb at 0 lives left that I pulled off on the previous attempt.  Oh man that was awesome.  I really wish that attempt had succeeded.  I was at 0 lives for pretty much the entire game starting at like stage 2, but then got a game over on Possessed Fairy at 4/5 life fragments.  Had I finished that, the extra life + 4 bombs probably could have carried me to the end  :V

Now to go capture Satori's Aya cards, which was the entire purpose of doing this in the first place.

[Bananamatic]

now imagine touhou with cave resources :V

[Azinth]

now imagine touhou with cave resources :V

It's called Seihou.  But they went the extra mile and added Psikyo lasers too.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

I should play more Seihou, but I suck at it too much. I can't even get close to 1ccing Normal. Never tried Easy.

[Lord Scalgon]

Starlight Typhoon Lunatic No-Focus Timeout.

This spell is incredibly easy.

Or you could no focus timeout the card just by moveing to the upper-right corner and then slightly moving up and down...and that's pretty much it.  I've done that a month ago out of boredom.

I have a video of it, but I haven't even uploaded it to YouTube, but if anyone wants me to upload it, I won't hesitate to do so.

Anyway...also out of boredom, though not that big of an accomplishment, I was goofing with easy mode IN cards and timed out Light Sign "Earth Light Ray" without movement, focus, vertical, pacifist, and whatever.  As far as I know, this isn't even on YouTube (when I searched it).  I was thinking of calling this title 'Marisa is a ⑨', but I don't know...there's always candidates for a title for this timeout run, though, so if you have a better title...

imagine if zun would stop the extend storm
2 extends at high score, 1 from st3 boss
have fun

On the other hand, six bombs per life :V

Don't remind me ;_;

[Bananamatic]

I'm still wondering what would the feedback be? Everyone is used to the metric shitton of extends :V

People would complain until they got used to it, I think. Probably it'd turn a lot of people away, and force everyone else's skill level up by quite a way to compensate; people would probably lose the reliance on bombing everything remotely hard and become better players for it. Aside from that, a Lunatic 1cc might be a really rare, incredible achievement again. :V

Spoiler:

Oh God UFO Lunatic with six lives and three bombs per life only ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

You actually do get 6 lives if you don't chain any reds, assuming you capture stage 4 midboss Nue. Now if you don't "trivialize" things by chaining greens.

I'm sure Baity or Jaimers could probably do a no UFO summoning run by now. They seem skilled enough.

[P♂ zeal]

Cleared UFO with Sanae B ^_^
(and capped flying fantastica, that's a plus)
Now to clear with one of the other characters' shot types...maybe.

The ridiculous amounts of extends in Touhou don't mean that much at a high level of play, because usually a bomb or death in the wrong place destroys your score.  So at the end of the day, it's just as perfectionist as any other shmup. 

Well, that's how it would theoretically be, but no one gives a shit about score (though sometimes for good reason, God knows what I'd rather do than play MoF or SA for score).

touhou is bad for score lol

[Sapz]

touhou is bad for score lol

This. I don't remember ever playing a Touhou game and finding anything about the scoring enjoyable. PCB's system is clever and interesting, sure... but I've never actually found it fun, or had the urge to do anything to boost my score that might endanger my survival. Now, DoDonPachi, or, say, Giga Wing... those are scoring systems I can get behind. I purposefully take crazy risks all the time in those for that extra million (or trillion in the latter's case).

This also ties in nicely with my theory that how much fun you have playing for score in a shmup is directly proportional to the amount of gold, shiny things you get while doing it. :V

[Bananamatic]

Auto item collection paired with wacky methods of boosting their value is stupid.

No shmup with actually fun stages will let you that high without instakilling you anyways.

What is your definition of a 'fun' stage anyway? Personally i find fun stages to be stages where you need to dodge a lot of bullets without it being too hard or repetitive. Every non-Touhou shmup i have played is either stages where pretty much everything is aimed at you or stages where everything is static and needs to be memorized. Of course utilizing the same boring colour palette.

I just gained the Lunatic title

Yes, an SA Lunatic 1cc

That was so satisfying and so much closer than I would have liked.

Welcome among the ranks . You even started out with the best one ! Might i suggest PCB Lunatic next?
