Congratulations with your accomplishment Arcy. You did well. You can do way better than that i'm sure. Keep up good spirits.

Eleven LFO captures in a row, baby :smug:

11 Stage 6 runs in a row... sounds like a SAW trap. Do something with VoWG already!

Oh well... considering that i've already done VoWG i suppose its you who shall time out LFO.

EDIT:

Youmu Lunatic Spellcards Timeout
The video is timeouts of all Youmu's spells on Lunatic. No lasers, entertaining patterns. Perfect Stage 5 boss go! (Btw. Formless, have you managed to capture Hell God Sword yet?)

Oh god.

After not having played PCB in I don't know how long, I decided to give it a try today. Result: First normal 1CC of the game. The Yuyuko battle was terrible (pretty much bombspammed everything), but after my best Youmu battle ever (captured everything, including nonspells, except for Karmic Punishment (what) and Five Signs of the Deva), resources wasn't a problem.. Entered stage 6 5/3, finished 1/2.

Either Jaimers or Baity got it in like 40 attempts.
And i had to spend 300 tries on it.  ::) Oh well, still did it faster than Baity.
~500. And keep in mind that I was a lot less of a competent player then when compared to now.

I'm not one to normally nitpick at things, especially when it comes to serious things like this, but as a (form of) medical student, I cannot help but do so.
sudden onset of cancer
Cancer can never be a sudden onset, unless you get a physical transmission of cancer cells from one host to another. It is the cause of a sufficient amount of mutations in the cells and is best better described as a "gradual" process. The symptoms and thus the diagnosis of the cancer normally occur at the end-stages of development, and would best explain the rather common conclusion that people think that cancer occurs suddenly. There are factors that do in fact speed up the cancer's growth (more specifically, the mutation rate or DNA coding error) but even those don't alter the rate to such an extent where it would be considered "sudden". Had to get that out of my mind as I did a rather large topic on it quite recently. Pay this only a fraction of your mind because...

:konngaratulations:
and,
First normal 1CC of the game.


Now it's my turn.

DS!10-4 done by weaving through the gaps in the stars. This actually proved to be complicated due to the mechanics of rotation, spawn and other things. By extension:

DS 84mil GET!

How much less is that? About my current level i'd imagine. It doesn't matter though. Just the mere thought that SP spent 4000+ attempts is enough to make me feel badass.

Wow, struggling with UFO Hard has apparently made all other Hards seem almost trivial. IN Hard 1cc with Sakuya solo on my second try! Everything went pretty well, except somehow I completely lost my concentration in Hourai Jewel. Entered it with 2/0 and finished 0/1. Run highlight was probably perfecting Tewi.

If by "about your current level" you mean "can 1cc UFO Lunatic with 80% survival-20% score" then sure!

Very unlucky. Though i can only see how luck has something to do with it if you try to time it out without moving or something. Sure you can make lucky dodges but its not something i would consider a factor for a timeout that requires 99 seconds of survival. It would take insane luck to fluke the entire thing.

When i went for my timeout i sure had a lot of "derp. I coulda dodged that." moments but i wouldn't consider messing up being due to bad luck.

If by "about your current level" you mean "can 1cc UFO Lunatic with 80% survival-20% score" then sure!

So what you're saying is that you could beat UFO Lunatic back when you did the timeout?

I just got my first ever hard 1cc. I got to Shinki with 2/1 and finished 0/0.
Atleast I think it's a legitimate 1cc,  playing with 3 lives 3 bombs (what the game sets itself to if you reset it in options).

Tried a random EoSD Extra run with MarisaA, and decided after killing the first few fairies "hey, let's do this no-focus and laugh at how badly it goes."

I got to Catadioptric on my first try! :]

Of course. By the time I did the ReimuB 1cc, everything followed somewhat nicely.

(what the game sets itself to if you reset it in options).
Obviously legitimate.

I'm surprised it took me so long to beat Touhou 10. When I started bombing properly I laid waste to the game. Though I've been going back to try and get more spellcards. Captured one of kanako's spellcard but the one I captured was pretty simple so I don't give myself that much credit.

Mountain of faith is not all that dodge but it's more like an endurance test.

Edit: This all applies to normal mode.

Not exactly unlucky. I've noticed that playing the same spellcard in Spell Practice makes my performance much worse. That's why I have ludicrous records like 3/80 on Hard!Brilliant Dragon Bullet and 0/103 on Normal!Hourai Elixir. :fail:

Something in my mind gave me the urge to play UFO lunatic...
Continued on kogasa 20 times before finally beating her for the first time ever! (yeah... )
Also, captured Super-Water Repelling Bone-Dry Monster, which I don't even know how I did it O.o
Seriously, the whole stage feels holy shit fast... maybe I'm just not used to it? :V
But then compared to something like EoSD lunatic, it IS fast.

Well. Given how you spend more time on it back then than i did now must theoretically mean that i am better now than you were back then which theoretically should mean that i would be more than capable of UFO Lunatic if i actually gave it the necessary time.

Amazing how annoyance and frustration can drain your competence.

DS Scenes 7-3 through 9-2 cleared.

Orin was pretty fun. I was really hoping Utsuho would be too, but she unfortunately fell prey to additive blending. Hell, Peta Flare and Hell's Tokamak were easier to read than these cards - what happened, man?

9-1 burnt me out after a while. Had fun learning it, but so many tries.

Been playing SA a good deal lately. Wasn't able to play it for 7 months and I only got to stage 6 once before that. Still, finally beat it after about a month of practice! Only lost one life on Orin, who really can be tougher than Utsuho, and I rarely follow the mantra of the stage 5 boss being tougher. Then got my ass handed to me on Koishi's first spell card 'cuz I my reaction time is that of a comatose sloth. Now, if I actually cared about 1cc'ing HRtP, I would have the integers 100% cleared up.

EoSD lunatic all shottypes 1cc'ed. Getting the first 1cc (almost five months ago!) surely takes some weight off one's shoulders; I only played four other runs after that, and the one which wasn't a clear was the test run for the no-focus ReimuA 1cc. There was a bit of stage 6 practice in there, though - even if it doesn't really show (no SM/SG captures in any of the runs).

Of course, this means next to nothing considering how much everyone has improved in the last months. :V  Though I wonder if no bombs is within reach if I put some :effort: into it for a change.....

EoSD, zero bomb stock setting GO!

Actually, limiting yourself to using the only three bombs the game gives you would be pretty... harsh, too.

Good luck with that. EoSD is one of the hardest of the "normal" games to no-bomb 1cc.

Oh man, I felt so good during this whole run. I don't think I ever died with bombs in stock, which is probably a first for me. Q.E.D. was total bombspam but who cares, I'm so happy right now. :]
