Touhou "Bragging Rights" Thread (VII)

[Jaimers]

@Jaimers: Holy hell. Were you actively trying for score?

I always went for the pretty picture but I never really did any hardcore score grinding.

That being said, I just did that for the first 4 stages and got myself another million points.
Not too shabby I presume~

[LHCling]

Wheeeee~

[Jaimers]

Welp, fourth I guess.

Almost exact 35 million.  :V

Subtract 2 hours of that gametime because of 9-7 shenanigans and score grind and you get how long it took.

[BoLaD]

Damn you people and your free time

(Damn me and my procrastination )

Didn't you once say you played Touhou instead of doing your homework in one of your videos?

[Jaimers]

9-7 cleared as Hatate.

Who needs range?  :V

[?q]

9-7 cleared as Hatate.

Who needs range?  :V

I'd rather have the recharge speed than the range...

[Naut]

x1000000

Especially for something like 9-7, where you can just luck garbage it because of 3 photos anyway :V

[ebarrett]

9-7 cleared as Hatate.

Who needs range?  :V

Clearing 9-7 with Hatate needed only 6.31% of the amount of pictures I needed with Aya.  :V

Had a few minutes this morning. Used them to capture 7-1. Please don't let everything from here on be like this! I wanna dodge bullet patterns. Not laser patterns! Turns out there was a fairly simple strategy to deal with the snake-lasers on phase 2... maybe it weren't so bad after all... I still don't like that kind of stuff though.

Didn't you once say you played Touhou instead of doing your homework in one of your videos?

Hmm... i actually think he did. In fact, he said it to me in a comment iirc. I was pretty poor at Touhou back then (Normal mode player) but he had played the games less than i had but had become lunatic. I asked him if he didn't have much else to do with his time to which the response was something along the lines of "I could study but that's boring".

Maybe bjw just got more serious about his homework!

[Silent Harmony]

Not Touhou, but a very nice day "practicing" with Danamakufu (really need to buy STB and DS)

1cc Hong Meiling's Workout (EASY)
1cc Cirno' Playground (NORMAL)
1D Cold Pizza (Normal)
Captured The Stylish Girl (BRO)


Only reason I'm posting this is because, for the first time in months, I'm noticing vast improvement in my Danmaku play compared to prior weeks.

*dies on Philosophy of a Hated Person*
Holy crap, and I didn't even do that well on this run, neither. I'm totally clearing this within an hour.
(And if I don't, adrenaline crash Xb)

@5:07 AM:
YEEAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

---[one adrenaline crash later]---
Looking back at this and my other extra clear (PCB), they're just about polar opposites. My PCB clear is full of random hijinx and lucky dodges that shouldn't have been necessary, and the fact that I won just sorta came out of left field. For this one, when I made stupid mistakes I died, and the few close scrapes were successful because of skill or experience; aside from Subterranean Rose, there was very little that I hadn't already seen and planned for.

...I think that means I've been getting better?

You're going against Shou Minamimoto; what did you expect? :p

Don't worry. Suwacko and Byakuren has omgawesome bullet patterns :V

More Double Spoiler!
I've managed to trivialize about half the cards so far. Well, half the cards up through Level 6 at least.

Especially 4-6, where I just

Spoiler:

sat in the lower left the whole time

[Krimmydoodle]

Up to 95/99 for Hatate captures in DS.  At this point, the remaining scenes aren't so simple as to repeat what was done with Aya, as three are incomplete due to inferior range (9-1 Satori Noncard, 9-7 Seamless Recollection, and 10-4 Iku Stars), and the last is incomplete due to inferior camera size (Ex-7 Ninja Reimu).

On the flipside, 9-4 Genetics of the Heart gets my award for the scene most simplified by Hatate.  Trying not to get screwed by that card as it goes on for nine fucking photos is shit, and Hatate's superior recharge makes the card go by so much more quickly that it's much less significant of an issue.  Photo history for Aya is 334, while Hatate cut it down to 20.

And yes, I know there's translated spell names on the wiki.

Edit: okay, underestimated her range just a tad, and knocked out the Satori scenes.  I screw up a lot of 10-4 pics with Aya though, so there's no way that's going to go well with Hatate.

Edit again: 99/99 I am Super Player!  Good crap I've been playing this too much.

[Chronojet ⚙ Dragon]

Hooooo.... fuck. I just unlocked the Extra stage and now an exam is tapping me on the shoulder.

Sanae's cards are way too easy to be Ex difficulty.

[Helix ⑨]

just capped 11-5. which was PATHETIC. Only the middle long laser thing matters, cause it's aimed at you, just move left and right accordingly to it's spawn and the blue spread bullets. But this means I have 51 capped, just 1 more for extra  :V

99/99 scenes captured as Hatate, I am super pla--GODDAMNIT KRIM ;_;

Daaamn, great work. Now do it again on Lunatic.

As for an accomplishment... 12 shots for 10-8 as Hatate. I'm trying out some of the scenes I had problems with as Aya for the sake of comparing the characters (10-8 was the last one I cleared with her) and, well, yeah. Being awake probably helps too.

Got it in 7 by staying right on top of the "circle" - Hatate is horribly broken for most stuff, to be honest, obviously the game is balanced around Aya. Even in some situations where you need range, you can go "defensive shot -> move forwards -> pretty much instant recharge -> take picture" with Hatate.

I did not think I'd be able to reach Spoiler level, nevermind beat it.

But I have.

YEAHHHHH~

[Krimmydoodle]

StB 85/85

The fatty lasers used in 10-4 need to die in a fire.  Stupid clipshit combined with luckshit in not getting walled (and by "walled", I mean "oh hey a hole bigger than my visible hitbox I'll just waltz right throu- *clipped")

[Milkyway64]

I too sit among those to beat Spoiler level.

Is it just me, or is Spoiler really, really easy for being the final, true battle?

[Zengeku]

You're going against Shou Minamimoto; what did you expect? :p

She is a boss that i usually consider to be utter crap with the lovely exception of Radiant Treasure Gun which is fun as the only thing. Her DS appearance was annoying as all hell, Nazrin certainly outclassed her in terms of entertainment. Then level 8 came... I loved all but 8-6. That just goes to show that Orin is better than Shou, as if i didn't know that already!

Progress on DS: I'm working on Level 9 and i have captured 1 of Koishi's and all of Satori's. I hated 9-7. Peerless Wind God reincarnated SoB. And i was looking forward to it. Utsuho's stuff was much more fun. And Orin's as well.

[LHCling]

(10-4) Stupid clipshit combined with luckshit in not getting walled (and by "walled", I mean "oh hey a hole bigger than my visible hitbox I'll just waltz right throu- *clipped")

Very much this. However, I never had a problem with the fat laser, even when doing (attempted) scoring runs against 10-4.

Score more plz (hint hint)  :V

[Zengeku]

You know what? I didn't realize the benefits of tilting the camera before now... maybe that knowledge would've made 9-7 more managable. I just need Scene 9-4 now and then its on to level 10.
