MoF lunatic 1LC

What do you mean the bomb system is broken?  :V

I've thought about doing this myself, but I didn't like the idea of restarting runs because I got overconfident about something and refused to bomb (which, since MoF is one of my stronger games, is going to happen a lot).  I'm happy with having gone through with no bombs over no deaths anyway.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

You're allowed way more mistakes in a no death run anyway due to how many bombs there are.

I'm not sure about the amount of lives/bombs available in each game to know for sure whether no death or no bomb is harder on which game.

I know there's enough bombs in IN that No bombs would be harder than no deaths. Same goes for MoF and SA.

Would no death or no bomb be harder on EoSD and PCB? And also the PC98

I would never succeed on a 1LC or No Bomb clear. I make way too many mistakes even on Normal mode at times.

Yukari solo IN Lunatic 1cc

I got to Hourai Jewel earlier with Youmu solo, but I won't be able to 1cc with her for a while as I suck at the shottype and I basically luckgarbaged a lot of stuff. Same with Yuyuko solo, but I could probably 1cc with her on a good run.

Solo Youkai is actually pretty fun.

[Choses]

Just unlocked SoEW Extra. o
I will finally face Evil Eye Sigma :ohdear:

[Silent Harmony]

Finally captured all of Parsee's cards. Only bright spot on a long, painful night. I'm not gonna beat this game for a long time even with continues.

[Iryan]

After not playing it for wuite some time, I thought: "Hey, let's randomly try a MoF Extra no-bomb run.

So i did. Well, technically I reflexively bombed when I screwed up Horrid River, but that was the only one and I finished with a spare live, so it still counts, right? Right?  :ohdear:

[Zengeku]

Hell yeah. Peerless Wind God  finally budged.

Mountain of Faith Stage 4 Lunatic No-Deaths 1 bomb + Perfect Aya

I pretty much perfect the entire stage but i do bomb the post-momizi rape fest. I have beaten that section before but its nothing i'm consistent at so whatever.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

Magic Team Lunatic 1cc

That leaves Netherworld Team and Scarlet Team as well as the solos that I think I can do, which won't be all of them. Netherworld team will be easy enough, and if I can get it a 1cc with Magic Team, I should be able to do it with the Scarlets as well. Sure I used Malice Cannon at quite a bit of places, but that shouldn't end up making it impossible for the Scarlets.

[Udongein]

Made it to Philosophy of a Hated Person in two consecutive runs that got past Suppression "Super-Ego" o/
I think I'm finally getting the hang of this stage.

Yeah, there's a LOT of room for error on a 1LC of MoF. I bombed like 25 fucking times it's completely ridiculous.
SA is pretty doable and UFO is totally doable if you go for green UFO's.
You get a lot of bomb drops in IN as well, but you have to really be carefull that you don't deathbomb as that will deplete them very fast and LLS gives you bombs like crazy.
The other games sans SoEW seem to drop less bombs than they give lives, so I reckon no bombs is easier, plus you don't have to worry about dying as much.

Somebody do UFO 1LC.

[Sen]

Somebody do UFO 1LC.

I think Baity did a 2LC of UFO Lunatic like a week after the game came out or something :V

[Silent Harmony]

Mystic Square Easy 1cc makes 4. Not bad considering there was a time I failed the game using all continues. Still, I want a Normal 1cc but that's something for the bitching thread.

Shinki's the best final boss I've faced so far.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

I wouldn't even want to think of SoEW No Death. No bombs would be hard enough. No Death's difficulty depends on how many random bomb drops you get, but Marisa and Mima would still ruin your day if you got that far probably. And the chances of getting bomb drops is very low.

[Jaimers]

Phantasm Romance 1cc at "Another Mode" with 3! extra stages included. 
This is getting on Youtube tomorrow, that was awesome! 

Also beat my hi-score with 70 million points!   :]
Oh and I finally got around to perfecting the last stage in CtC. Guess that's going up as well tomorrow.

I once beat Mima one death one bomb, stop overrating SoEW's difficulty. :B

It may not be the most difficult, but it is the most bullshitty.  :derp:

[LHCling]

I think Baity did a 2LC of UFO Lunatic like a week after the game came out or something :V

3LC while half-asleep? Yeah. And it was 2-3 months IIRC. First death came on "VoPB" (of all Cards!), and I got so pissed that my performance just dropped a notch or two. I never even reached 8 Bombs as well.

It may not be the most difficult, but it is the most bullshitty.  :derp:

Psh, once you learn the hitboxes of those evil looking things, it's easy. That said, perfecting the last attack takes ages if you go all defensive on it.

I also have replays of 2 Perfect UFO Lunatic 1cc's for the interested. Whether or not they're TAS'd, I would have no idea. I have a lot of suspicious points against them in terms of technicality but that's it.

[J.O.B]

I just captured Superhuman Byakuren Hijiri for the first time. :toot:

[Suikama]

I FUCKING BEAT RAN YEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!

[Serela]

I figured "ehh I should bomb less on EoSD S4 lunatic, let's see how many deaths I get if I no bomb"

Practice Modo, go.

*reaches Patchouli without dying or bombing*

wait what

[omgrandomnumbers]

Thanks for the tip, Jaimers. PoFV is going great - almost beat Shiki as Reimu. StB, however, takes getting used to at the very least. Died about 10 times to 1-1 just getting used to Aya's speed and the controls :derp:. Maybe it's best not to go uber-slow speed on the first few levels.

[Alice★f]

Tried doing some random shit because I was bored.

IN 1cc Normal No Focus.

I'm going to bed now. That run was crap. =]

I'm slowly but steadily coming back. I don't know why, but I even though I still play Touhou regularly, I feel totally out of it. I just recently abandoned Normal and Easy mode so maybe getting completely used to Hard and Lunatic as my primary playing levels is taking its toll on me. It feels so different. =/

[チソウ タイゼン]

Played Mountain of Faith without the 40%+ lag that I normally get.
>Tries Lunatic
What the hell.
>Tries Hard
What the hell?!
>Tries Normal
What the fuck.

My friend didn't unlock Extra on his WIDESCREEN NETBOOK so to hell with even trying
For actual achievement, I captured the following spellcards when HE DID NOT

(Lunatic) Falling Leaves of Madness
(Hard) Falling Leaves of Madness
(Hard) (Minoriko's 1st card)
(Hard) Wheat God's Promise (?)
(Normal) (Mid!Hina's card)
(Normal) Wound Sign "Pain Flow" (?)

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

IN Lunatic 1cc All Teams

Now I can start working on solos. I've gotten to Hourai Jewel on Youmu and Yuyuko solos, and although I doubt I'll get that close with Youmu again anytime soon, those 2 make the most sense to try next. Yukari solo has been done. Not sure what other ones I'll have a chance at, probably not many.

[Grand Octopus]

SA Lunatic Stage 5 with zero bombs/deaths. Please excuse my French, but holy fucking shit. Two warps at part II of the post-midboss streaming because I'm still clueless at that bit (save for the first few seconds). Hardest bit of this was ERRATIC STEP with ERRATIC STEP in 2nd and part I of the post-ERRATIC STEP spam in 3rd. Endstage Orin is mildly overrated as far as difficulty goes IMO. Nearly killed myself right at the start with rage-induced no focus shenanigans.

I'm hoping to do zero bomb/death runs for SA stages 1-6 eventually like I did for MoF, but I figured there wasn't any point working on the other stages if I couldn't do the hardest one so I started with it. I'll attempt the others some other time, but right now I don't want to see, hear, touch, taste or smell any more cats danmaku.

[Heartbeam]

You know this game is too easy when you're hard-pressed to find highlights in a pseudo-perfect run.



Border break against Lunasa's second noncard and the stage six spam.  Then a few more against 80% Reflowering because I wimped out and blasted it down after the fourth wave.  The dodging up to that point was poor to begin with.

[Sapz]

Holy shit. That's unbelievable. @_@

I...what? I don't suppose you saved a replay?
