Touhou ::smug:: Thread (VIII)

[Zengeku]

^ Since when did you master me ? :V

Since we got marriaged.

Well, since you like UFO i am put on a higher level of intelligence.  :V Okay, not really. Oh and about that marriage. You were sleeping while it happened and to my greatest happiness you had some weird dream that caused you to say 'yes' all the time which i just had to time with the priest who was blind and didn't know that you were sleeping. So yeah, you got 'mastered'.   :] :blush: :V (i dunno what expression is appropriate)

In other news... I timed out all of Youmu's attacks except Hell God Sword. I'll do away with that soon enough.

[The Greatest Dog]

WOAH UFO HARD 1CC.

And... I captured Vajra? Not like I had a choice (no bombs at the time)

Derps all over stage 4. Two deaths to Ichirin. One death to Murasa. Stage 5 was a shit fest.

And I reached Byakuren 4/1.

Captured the Hard version of Star Maelstrom, as usual. And Demon's Recitation for the first time.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

At least you didn't blow it like the time I got to her with 4 spare lives. 3 deaths on LFO.

If I get to LFO with that many lives in stock again, I'm timing the thing out.

[Sen]

IN Hard no-shooting run (bombs allowed) with Yukari Solo. Got up to Double Spark before game-overing.

Keine's midboss opener is brutal.

[nintendonut888]

MoF stage 4 1DNB, jilted by Peerless Wind God. Maybe before I go on vacation again I can pull out one last accomplishment? Maybe...~ Or maybe not, Momizi and Storm Day don't like to play nice.

EDIT: The answer? A resounding no. :[ Break time.

[jc_foster]

PCB Stage 5 Normal, no deaths and more bombs than I cared to count :p

Hoping this is one of the last steps to putting a Normal 1cc together ....

[bjw]

Finally got around to clearing Extra in Double Spoiler. Looks like I'm once again done with Touhou until the next official game comes out  :V

VoWG-timeout.
UFO Lunatic clear :V
SFN Timeout :V

Get to work.  :]

[Jaimers]

See, people don't care about SoEW enough to even remember when anyone pulls off perfect plays of it :V

Yeah, I'm probably the only person in the world who likes SoEW.  :V
You really have to see it more as an old- school schmup rather than a Touhou game.

No bombs run is up!
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

[Zengeku]

Yeah, I'm probably the only person in the world who likes SoEW.  :V

I just thought you did it because you can. In that case whatever opinion you have is invalidated. :V

[Zengar Zombolt]

I just thought you did it because you can. In that case whatever opinion you have is invalidated. :V

And you say you had mastered him. That was weaksauce!

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

At least it's better than HRtP and PoDD. Damn, those 2 games fail so much. UFO's only a little better than SoEW. The Extras are what decide on that one.

[Iryan]

I have no idea what you are talking about. Please explain.

BURN THE HERETIC

[Zengeku]

BURN TO THE GROUND! UFO is not better than SoEW! Not by a long shot!  :V

Seriously though, i wouldn't call PoDD a fail game. If nothing else, it has an outstanding soundtrack and it is certainly more playable than SoEW.

EDIT:

Exceptional person playing with Murasa

I uploaded a cool video about UFO. For once. I almost NDNB the entire stage 4 but some stupid Nue messed that up embarassingly enough. I do perfect Murasa though which is nice. I also uploaded it because the dodging of the post-streaming orbs was fucking awesome.

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

I like SoEW's main game more than UFO's. UFO's extra is so much better than SoEW's though.

[Formless God]

People complained about Touhou being too easy, and now when ZUN finally came up with a hard game, they complain about it being too hard. I don't fucking get it.

[DracoOmega]

People complained about Touhou being too easy, and now when ZUN finally came up with a hard game, they complain about it being too hard. I don't fucking get it.

Are you sure these are the same people complaining in both cases, though?

[Zengeku]

We will always find something to complain about and you know that.
But. I never asked for things to get harder. I am well satisfied with the level of challenge in all the other games.
If i want things harder then i don't want things to get harder because of false difficulty that can only be mastered through a load of practice.

I value fun over challenge. Its not fun getting hit by some laser before you even know its there. its not fun being hit by an amulet just because it goes in a strange arch. Its not fun being hit by some purple bullets just because some drunkard thought it was a good idea shaking the screen so you lose the orientation. Its not fun having to sit down and figure out what umbrellas to shoot and what umbrellas not to shoot. Nor is it fun to have to bomb easy stage parts just to be able to pick up some UFO tokens that flippantly enough float everywhere you can't pick them up.

All of those things up there can be boiled down to "its your mistake bro" but that doesn't make it fun. Only for masochists.

At least that's not fun in my opinion and i'm sure there is a lot of people who agree. Things need to get less gimmicky and more simple. Double Spoiler had some excellent simple attacks that didn't take much time to understand and was fun to play even if they were easier than the gimmicky attacks. Because of Double Spoiler i am looking forward to TH13. It has the potential to be much better.

[Formless God]

...
Uh ... maybe not. Then again I was thinking about

Spoiler:

Bananamatic

and Zengeku so ...

1. I was about to make a video about that :3 2. LFO ? 3. Okay that's indeed retarded 4. I'm still working on that one :V 5. Well damn

The reason I brought this up was because that Unrefined Fucking Obnoxiety thingy felt offensive :getdown:. There's another thread to discuss this stuff though tbh it will turn out the same in the end anyway.

[Zengeku]

I was kidding. I don't like the game but i don't mean to trash those who do. You just gotta read my posts with a "Zengeku-filter"
And will you be making a video of my greatest Touhou-weakness? The laser that is?

[omgrandomnumbers]

Actually managed to dodge Tengu Fall Wind fairly! I think I see the pattern now. Also, I am getting consistent at beating Stage 6 Sakuya in PoFV without losing a life or ragequitting.

[omgrandomnumbers]

But they are. That's a fact. If not, then Perfect Reimu would be nothing. And Perfect Reisen would be super-nothing.

Fantasy Seal - Blink is loleasy. It doesn't change at all from Normal to Lunatic, and I timed it out first try on normal. Shooting Reimu is a bit harder, though.

Oh crap double post someone merge these.

[RainfallYoshi]

Youmu is no longer conquering me! Yeehaaw! Now it's just a matter of getting some more practice on Yuyuko and a PCB Normal 1cc is well within reach. TAKE THAT YOUMU!

[8lue Wizard]

So, I was looking over some of my old replays, namely my first SA Normal 1cc, and damn did I suck back then. I can only take this as a sign that the aliens that were previously chewing on my brain have since stopped and fled the planet. THE APOCALYPSE IS COMING.

In other news, I finally blundered my way through Philosopher's Stone, which means I've capped every single SA Normal card at least once! Yay! Oh, and why didn't anyone tell me ReimuC is so awesome?

[Krimmydoodle]

It's not so much people ragging on ReimuC as it is that people praise ReimuA due to her powerful-yet-simple shot (MarisaA suffers from reverse-focus syndrome, MarisaB requires fancy shotgunning or unintuitive firing directions, everyone else is just plain weaker) and her ability to gap.  That said, I personally don't like ReimuC because of the aforementioned power problem, the trickiness in making the most of her shot, and that I can't think of a single practical use for Ayaspeed for anyone not named GODrake (and it tends to get me killed should I forget Ayaspeed exists when I stop firing, such as during Parsee's second card).  I hear she has the best bomb in the game though, so she's not all bad.

Anyway, congrats on your accomplishments!

I never quite understood how to deal with the card.

[MTSranger]

I never quite understood how to deal with the card.

I think it can be memorized b/c if you move the same way each time, it will do the same thing.
Misdirecting the purple bullets are a bit tricky for me though.

[Zengeku]

memorized

That would explain why i never understood how to do it.
