Touhou "Bragging Rights" Thread (VII)

[LHCling]

One What the fuck post coming up.

ND1B Byakuren. A decent terrible scoring 1cc to boot (sans mistakes ofc).

Let this be a lesson to all:

Never throw away "garbage" runs, always see them through to the end.

You may, or may not be surprised.

[Zengeku]

I don't know why i keep going back to UFO. Maybe i hope that i will eventually start liking it. That can happen. In any case, i have done something spectacular! Or at least something cool.

Sinkable Vortex Lunatic timeout

Murasa is turning into a semi-decent boss. She is still worthless compared to those kickass S4 bosses like Marisa or Satori but at least she is more fair than Patchouli because she doesn't use bullets with way bigger hitbox than you are used to.

Oh and that part in the end of the timeout... that was totally 100% skillful dodge. No luck involved at all. All planned!

[Formless God]

Perfected SA Extra (actually, one bomb after Sanae) up to the non-spell after Rorschach because I went over the POC to collect that fragment and WHAM. That was actually a deathbomb, but I messed up Freudmaku right after that. Finished with 5 lives. SA is no longer a threat to me BV

... But Orin still is.

[Chronojet ⚙ Dragon]

So I tried Reimu B against Virtue of Wind God.
No Deaths, but one Deathbomb.

[jc_foster]

UFO Easy 1CC with MarisaA get.

That ending was weird.

Finally hit this myself last night, after yet another clipdeath on DR left me 0/2. Then captured Fantastica out of nowhere.

[Jaimers]

Vajra timeout.

I think I've "seen the light" on this one.
I agree, it's not that bad.

I think my problem was that I was focusing too much on the lasers.
That, and the fact that I seemed to "wait up" for the lasers before. I think it's easier if you just keep going...?

"RTG" seems pretty easy as well suddenly, hmm.
I'll have to look into this more.

I still want to figure out a way to dodge the end of stage orbs that isn't complete luckgarbage. :<

EDIT:

Just timed it out again. TWICE.

Yup, this is the easiest thing ever.

[theshirn]

Yup, this is the easiest thing ever.

This is the part where you die horribly.

[Formless God]

ITT Jaimers and Baity leave me in despair

[Bananamatic]

ITT Jaimers and Baity leave me in despair

switch to cave and make Sapz leave you in despair instead

[Naut]

Vajra timeout.

I agree, it's not that bad.

It's her second easiest card -- once you learn how to read it, it becomes an easy 80%+ capture. I've a harder time on RTG and Clarification, and they're not even that bad. It's those damn non-spells that shake me around a bit and throw off my game for the spellcards >: |

I think I've "seen the light" on this one.

ihu

[Sapz]

UFO Extra no deaths, no bombs, no UFOs. :dragonforce: Will be uploaded to YouTube later. Of the Windows Extras, that just leaves Suwako and Mokou to perfect, neither of which I'm looking forward to.

This is... the first time I've actually tried to do something in Touhou since early January? Mainly because of UFO Lunatic completely burning me out. Still, that was a lot of fun, and easier than I remembered. Could be fun seeing how my newly gained DoDonPachi skills transfer over to Touhou. :V

[Jaimers]

"Vajra of Perfect Buddhism" no focus timeout using Marisa.

Took 5 attempts. Weeeee~

Could be fun seeing how my newly gained DoDonPachi skills transfer over to Touhou. :V

You now have EXTREME STREAMING SKILLS!  :V

[Sapz]

EXTREME STREAMING

EXTREAMING

But seriously, I'm definitely far more comfortable with flying around the screen unfocused like a lunatic madman, and fast attacks in general. :V

[Bananamatic]

And you deathbomb much better :V

[Zengeku]

I just captured Vajra myself again. But it almost turned into a timeout. I think this card wouldn't be any bad at all if this was IN and had spell practice. Its obviously a card that requires you to know what you are doing. Its not so much reading the bullets that gives me problems. Its much more about the redirection of the lasers. It screws me over often.

Also, captured everything in DS Level 12 and EX except for EX-2. Reimu's EX cards were pretty easy but her Dropkick thing was very tough. Unfortunately it happened way too often that the camera didn't get all of the walls in the shot and thus left me with a 10% of making it through the gap between the amulets. I actually pulled that off quite often while trying for it. Gotta luv dem amulets. I can only do it vertically though.

EDIT: Finished Spoiler level. Now i only need to beat EX-2 and i'll be done with this excellent game. I was very pleased with the final scene in Spoiler level. So epic, so cool, so all that is positive. It was quite easy though but still awesome. The level gimmick was also very interesting.

EDIT 2: Beat EX-2. DS all clear with Aya. I don't think i wanna bother with Hatate though.

[Zengar Zombolt]

Captured 11-1, discovering Hatate's wonderful scoring technique. 1mil points with no dodging at all, lol

[Serela]

After TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY NINE PICTURES, I finally captured EX-5.

Now I have fully cleared DS with Aya. I CAN REST IN PEACE  :ohdear:

...or at least update my text adventure again. Maybe later.

[LHCling]

822 million get! Of a theoretical 1 billion with my route that is  :V
Updating in a bit.

Lunatic - Reimu A
BaitySM - 822,547,680 - C - 0.0% - Replay

[Bananamatic]

GOOD JOB MEDIUM LEVEL TOUHOU PLAYER

[Sapz]

Will be uploaded to YouTube later.

Aaaaand done, after way too much time spent. :V

[?q]

Aaaaand done, after way too much time spent. :V

*sees Undefined Darkness history and feels vindicated*

[ふねん1]

Captured BoWaP Lunatic.

Though probably not that significant since it's only a faster variant of the Hard version.

[LHCling]

ITT Jaimers and Baity leave me in despair

ZETSUBOUSHITA!

I think I've "seen the light" on this one.
I agree, it's not that bad.

*thwack*
Finally a(nother?) +1 to the agreement that it isn't that bad... after how long?  :V
And I believe I've found a very neat little trick that I can use to combat SA!"Exteee(ry". Will warrant further testing when I'm not busy with work. SA!"Kappa's Pororororoca" is still killing me endlessly despite my overall skill improvement. Though, I do believe I've found out why exactly I'm dying though

Spoiler:

...about bloody time

.

[Grand Octopus]

2.12 million on Playstation Nue. Awesome run where I nailed pretty much every photo. Did this yesterday, but I'm uploading it now in case there's a high score topic issue over it. It's over 5% slowdown due to the FPS dip during the photo flash combined with lots of defensive photo-taking. The entire thing was at 60FPS when the game was actually moving (except for a second at the start), so... yeah, it's legit as far as I'm concerned.

[nintendonut888]

Grr argh die Nue you Sony fan.

Doing some random PCB playin', I both captured Lily and survived the part after her without dying or bombing. With Marisa A's magic missiles that section is trickiest with her.

[ふねん1]

PCB Extra 2D1B run.

Died only on 12 General Gods and Kokkuri-san's Contract, and deathbombed Charming Siege.

And I finally captured Izuna Gongen, hooray! That makes a capture for all of Ran's spells. Next stop, Phantasm clear!

[Kinzo the Astro Curious]

YES YES YES YES YES YESSSSS!!!!

FINALLY IVE FUCKING 1CC'D SOMETHING

Yeah it was IN on easy modo but...  :V I also finished with 6 lives. Last time I played this I didn't know how to auto collect items, and now I do the extra lives just come flooding in on this version lol.

Might try and 1cc it on normal given that.  :/ I proper failed at kaguyas survival card but whatever, I had her beat by then anyway  :V GOOD ENDING OH YES IT FEELS GOOD TO GET STORYLINE

[Kinzo the Astro Curious]

Ive been into touhou for like a year, for me yes this is an acomplishment its taken a fucking eternity to get good enough just to do that  :V

Still haven't completed ESoD, I haven't 1cc'd PCB, IN (woo i have now) PoFV I've had a good ending with sakuya but I swear I used a continue on yamaxanadu, MoF SA and UFO I can get to the boss but not complete them :/ on easy as well, lol.

Acomplishments are all relative really though, Touhou is the first schmup I ever played, and I dont get a chance to play it often. (but listen to the music litterally everyday)

[Serela]

You call that an accomplishment?
At least I 2cc'd Lunatic on PCB. (1 continue, if you don't know)

Don't be so mean, everyone has to start somewhere.

Went and got to 70 scene clear with Hatate. Not interested in full clearing with her yet, but I figured I could get a lot of them done at least.

[Sen]

You call that an accomplishment?
At least I 2cc'd Lunatic on PCB. (1 continue, if you don't know)

Was that necessary?

Was it really?
