SWRS hard 1cc with Sanae. Her alt 236 is more of a game breaker than anything Cirno could possibly have. @_@ I even won no deaths.

theshirn · « **Reply #871 on:** April 21, 2010, 05:47:24 AM »

4 deaths LLS Extra run. 2 on the stage.

I can get this down to one or two, maybe.

The Greatest Dog · « **Reply #872 on:** April 21, 2010, 06:13:03 AM »

Mountain of Faith Extra clear! Marisa C because everything Reimu can do Marisa can do better ( except for dodge -1 pixel attacks).

Captured the final card... It's not that hard. Especially when you only have to dodge one of the final phase's rings. Yeah. Marisa C is that strong...

When you get all four options on the boss... Although even with just two she's still better than Reimu B...

Finally! Lunatic perfect Kanako battle! :toot:

...I somehow died twice to the death fairy, though. :derp:

PCB Lunatic clear with SakuyaA. Cleared with 4 lives remaining despite clipping a lot of easy stuff including Letty's final card. Sakuya clearing is easy folks. Go play with ReimuB or MarisaA/B. You only cheat yourself by doing otherwise. Learning general spawning positions of enemies makes the PCB stages quite trivial which makes Sakuya's range pointless and the other characters damage output is much greater than Sakuya's. Plus Sakuya gets a quite tricky opener at the Prismrivers... yeah she sucks alright.

EDIT: On the topic of PCB, Perfect Ran battle.

You suck at the fourth noncard and not the second? If you can do the second, you should be able to do the fourth. Second's much harder, fourth is just the same except in reverse, faster, and significantly less dense (which is what makes it easier).

Uhh, yeah. I tend to capture 2nd non-spell consistently but i get hit quite often by the 4th. I think its because the bubbles are yellow at the 4th non-spell and because of that makes it harder to spot those bullets you can actually get hit by. But maybe i'm handling it wrong.

Krimmydoodle · « **Reply #875 on:** April 21, 2010, 10:08:47 PM »

If you're following Utsuho after one of the bubble waves, you're doing it wrong. While that seems like a good idea to maximize damage, it's better to go in the opposite direction, as that's where the next unaimed blast is less dense.

Of course, I'm trying to give advice without having seen how you do it (and I haven't fought Utsuho in a month, so I might be a bit rusty in that sense), so I may need to see a replay if this isn't helping.

Merlin's opener is the only reason not to use Sakuya. And why would I want to torture myself and actually have to learn the game when the game is clippier than EoSD and throws more bullshit patterns than EoSD does. Also, dying when you press the bomb button BEFORE you get hit is bullshit. Using Sakuya just evens the odds a bit more for a game I don't really find fun.

Tree Ocean of Hourai capture (Sakuya Solo)
1/82 (click for proof screenshot)

Wasn't expecting this for a long time. This makes 7/17 Last Words captured with Sakuya.
I feel accomplished.

Suwako Moriya, here I come!

Edit: Only needed three attempts to get to Suwako. Of course, I was then promptly murdered on her first card .....

I don't know what you mean by dying before you get hit. I only die when i get hit by bullets. I would think the same goes for you as well. If all you want is a 1cc though you can just bombspam everything that's remotely hard. Try to accept the fact that not bombing makes things take twice as much time to kill than if you were using other shot types.

Besides, we are not talking the UFO kind of memorization like the orb spam in Stage 3 or MoF's Sanae 1st card or the like. Just simple enemy spawn points.

LHCling · « **Reply #881 on:** April 22, 2010, 07:57:05 AM »

6-7 took a few hours on and off. No, not because it was difficult. It was too random to score consistently; I had 674k, 694k, 694600 and now... this.
EDIT 2: And unlike all the other (score-focused) replays that you can see there, I did my one from below Yuugi instead of above. Just thought I would point that out.

Also, this makes it 10 WRs, 11 if you count 5-8.

Now, I do believe that my fingers are getting sore from overplaying that single Scene; I now have 1.8k shots on it. Just a few hours ago, this was a few hundred.

Uh... it's actually pretty straightforward. Both of them.

EDIT 3: Yay, 6-8. Seriously, I don't know what to do for it, and neither does anybody else really. The precision that you need is ridiculous. Not to mention luck. Oh well, onto Level 7.

EDIT 4: Hm. Phar and UKT up their scores. That lazy update should do for now.

I think he means that he presses the bomb button before he gets hit, but it doesn't activate for some reason and a bullet is able to kill him. That happened to me once in my PCB Hard 1cc, it's not unheard of.

theshirn · « **Reply #883 on:** April 22, 2010, 04:36:27 PM »

PCB has the worst input lag in the series. Get the vsync patch and watch the game become ten times easier.

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #884 on:** April 22, 2010, 04:50:31 PM »

I may have to try that. At least it would fix the input lag issue.

Unfortunately, such a patch won't help my inability to read most the patterns.

theshirn · « **Reply #885 on:** April 22, 2010, 04:51:50 PM »

It'll make more of a difference than you'd think. I went from barely able to 1cc Hard to 6 lives left on my first try.

PCB Stage 4 Hard Practice: ended 6/2.

Why bother posting? My best Normal ending is 6/1.

I don't know if this is ZUN's shitty difficulty programming or what?

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #888 on:** April 22, 2010, 06:45:39 PM »

Tried the patch out.

Almost No Deathed Yuyuko on Lunatic when I used to almost game over on her in practice. Of course, I still need to practice the early stages.

Tried it on IN. Almost perfected Kaguya. And by that I mean, derped Brilliant Dragon Bullet right before capture, capture Buddhist Diamond, derp Salamnder Shield right before capture, derp Lifespring Infinity right before capture, derp Hourai Jewel right before capture, Derp all 5 Last Spells right before capture. I still screwed up on Eirin's opener though.

I just wish the FPS change setting would work so I could do some of the 75 FPS, 120 FPS stuff at times. Or maybe mess around with some TAS.

Also, what's the Bug Fix Cherry setting do? And what's the other stuff in there that isn't obvious?

Edit: Actually it does work on higher FPS. Not lower though, which means it's only 2/3 the fun.

Zengeku · « **Reply #889 on:** April 22, 2010, 09:05:37 PM »

So you mean to say that you didn't use vsync before? PCB is pretty much unplayable without it. You'll have your lunatic 1cc soon, don't worry.

On a more personal note: 2cc'd Hisoutensoku Normal with Sanae. 1cc'ing should be no problem at all with some practice at certain cards.

ふねん1 · « **Reply #890 on:** April 22, 2010, 09:13:50 PM »

If Enigma wasn't using Vsync before, then that raises a question on my end. I was using Vsync in that PCB Hard 1cc, yet I know I pressed the bomb button long before I got hit that one time (don't argue with me here, I'm 100% sure I pressed it first). Might have only been a one-time slip-up in the programming - I wonder if the fact that it occurred during a slow-down portion of Youmu's last card had anything to do with it.

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #891 on:** April 22, 2010, 09:56:06 PM »

It happened to me on a Hard ReimuA run after I tried the patch as well causing me to lose the 1cc and Extra unlock for her. But bombs definitely go off more often now. Movement seems a bit better too.

Also, made it to Stage 6 Lunatic with SakuyaB with several deaths with bombs in stock.

Seian Verian · « **Reply #892 on:** April 22, 2010, 11:16:56 PM »

Played EoSD Hard after almost no Touhou for like, months. First try that I didn't restart due to stage 1 failure went rather well. How well? No deaths Patchy battle, AND I reached Vampire Illusion before game overing. Considering how severely out of practice I am, I'm... Rather amazed by this, really. It's not a 1cc, but it's better than I was able to consistently do even back when I was playing Touhou a lot.

jc_foster · « **Reply #893 on:** April 23, 2010, 01:19:54 AM »

One bomb away from having a perfect Reimu Prismriver fight. Too bad it was in a run where I died on so much easy stuff (twice on Midboss!Alice -.-) and game-overed on Lost Soul's Village ....

Holy crap I finally recaptured Small Demon's Revival! It's been fucking two months (I kid you not, it took me that long), but this showed there's hope for me yet.

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #895 on:** April 23, 2010, 02:30:21 PM »

PCB Lunatic 1cc

Died with bombs in stock 3 times, one of them when a spellcard was clearing causing me to lose a crapload of Cherry. So close to 800,000,000 also. At least this is done. Maybe I'll try it with other characters some day.

Jaimers · « **Reply #896 on:** April 23, 2010, 05:31:26 PM »

IN lunatic 1cc with the magic team without using "Malice Cannon".

Dear god, magic team is terrible without "Malice Cannon".
Almost had a no deaths Kaguya fight, but messed up "Hourai Jewel" at 10 seconds remaining because this thing lasts too goddamn long as magic team! >_<
First time I fought Reimu in like 6 months lol.

Anyway, all teams 1cc'd.

For the sake of completion, Hell's Tokamak timeout first try. Though I did lose focus at around 20.00.

ふねん1 · « **Reply #898 on:** April 23, 2010, 08:37:39 PM »

And another Small Demon's Revival (Hard) capture, my first time successfully going around Orin more than once without dying.

Now if only the stage portion would stop shitting in my face, I might actually get the perfect run I want.
