Nobody Cares How Bad You Are at Touhou! (Accomplishments IX)

[Demonbman]

EoSD Hard Mode 1cc! Is there any sort of trick to Young Demon's Revival?

*Has a celebratory popscicle

[LHCling]

I captured Parasol Star Memories!

SanaeB, 3.xx power, btw. Does that trivialize the card too much, or can I still count it as an accomplishment?  :V

3.xx doesn't trivialize it anywhere near as much as 4.00 does. However, some brain smarts during "PSM" with SanaeB at any power not named 1.xx potentially speaking can trivialize it to a similar extent. As to whether or not it's an accomplishment, well, that entirely depends on you  :V

(and MarisaB)

I wish. Potentially speaking, the damage done overall is approximately equal to that of ReimuA (in truth, it's just a little less) but the damage is spread out in a scope which obviously hurts you more in the long run. Then, if you really want to get into the nitty gritty details

Spoiler:

MarisaB when unfocused doesn't cover her sides; thus making it more difficult to take out parasols approaching from the given direction. Don't even go into the rear options

8( I may have possibly found a breakthrough on King Kraken Strike, but just two runs isn't enough to draw a correlation.

I'll be waiting to see if you can draw the same conclusion from the correlation(s).

PERFECT CHERRY BLOSSOM LUNATIC 1CC

tHRtP Hard 1cc wheee.

EoSD Hard 1cc

UFO Hard 1cc, with hilarious Stage 4 action, starting with me pressing X thinking I had a bomb! :c

[ふねん1]

There we go. SA Lunatic 1cc.

Yay, the game didn't crash this time. My second SA Lunatic 1cc (both with ReimuA), ending with 5 lives total. A bit uglier in some places than my last one though (I died 3 times on BoWaP ). Oh well, at least I have proof this time.

[LHCling]

SA Lunatic 1cc.

EDIT:

Yessssss! Here is my First Hard mode 1cc!

Sorry about that.

[P♂ zeal]

I finally defeated Koishi! Now I have defeated all of the windows EX-Bosses!

[Myschi]

Finally beat IN (Normal, Boundary Team) and unlocked spell practice! Was surprised (don't know /why/, though) to see that Eirin had a last spell. Would'a nailed it if I was a bit faster, but oh well.

Gonna try for either clearing Hard (Boundary Team again, probably because I'm a pansy like that) or 1cc'ing (or less than 3cc'ing anyway...) Normal!

I have spent the last four hours playing Touhou, trying to do perfects. Over time after being thwarted again and again, I started getting a headache. My eyes unfocused, my heart continuously pounded, and I was literally rambling like a madman.

Yet I didn't stop.

I went for Ichirin, then Murasa, then Murasa again, then I tried Murasa a bit more, and that fucking unfair third non-spell thwarted every attempt, except for the 1DNB that was caused by Sinkable Vortex.

Yet I didn't stop.

Then I went for Reimu, who I've had my eyes on a perfect for ages. Every attempt thwarted at either Fantasy Seal Spread or Fantasy Seal Dark, except for the ones by Demon Binding Ring. Loss after loss after loss.

Yet I didn't stop.

Eventually, when my eyes were unfocused and I was giving up on trying to perfect the stage along with Reimu (since I have it pretty well down) and I was calmly humming Kiss Me Sweet while the intense music was playing, I came to realize: THIS was why I got into Touhou, and why I'm still playing two and a half years later. Few games can cause such frustration and yet are able to keep stringing me along. I love Touhou because it hates me. The rut I've been in since I perfected Kaguya was because I started expecting to get anywhere on a run. My standards rose too high. Spending an entire day playing the same stage, with the faint hope that the one run that will justify so many hours of playing will happen, such days have become too seldom. This is why I love this series.

Just then, I perfected Reimu. And I am still grinning. No replay, since I did the stage badly. And no, I didn't capture Blink. Screw you if you think that matters, because that's not the point.

^_^

EoSD Hard Mode 1cc! Is there any sort of trick to Young Demon's Revival?

You mean "Young Demon Lord"? (Perhaps confusing with Orin's "Small Demon's Revival"?) I find it easiest if you stay as low on the screen as possible, so that the gaps between the bullets are bigger. Other than that, it's just (relatively easy) reading and dodging.

On Hard, anyway. No clue about Lunatic.

[RegalStar]

EoSD Hard 1cc. Started with 5 lives but at no point in the game I went below 2 lives in stock, so it should count. Multiple problems with this one: Dying twice consecutively to Sakuya's midboss non-spell because I have no idea what the timing was at very low ranks; failing Mercury Poison (*headdesk*), bombing Eternal Meek (which I capture most of the time)... Went in Scarlet Gensokyo with 2 lives and no bombs left (= no lives and no bombs left) and managed to capture it for the win, so I guess that sort of made up for it.

[ark]

Congrats! EoSD Hard 1cc seems to be a popular thing these days.

(Now do it again with default lives. :V)

[ふねん1]

Finally captured Legendary Flying Saucer on Hard.

[nintendonut888]

Metal-fatigue bullets. Two deaths in two seconds on Young Demon Lord.

And to think I actually had a chance at the 1cc before this.

*looks at thread title*

Congratulations! o/ I didn't even know it was possible to die during death invincibility.

Also I just failed some more Murasa runs and don't feel upset at all. I think I just got my groove back~ And in time for Fairy Wars too.

How good is MarisaB at taking out parasols again ? Those seem to be the only threat in PSM :V (unless Kogasa moves to the right, or so I heard)

You know what I mean. And I forgot to check which thread the login brought me to (I thought I was still in the rage thread), hence the edit to what I was supposed to post here.

Left (once or twice), then right continuously.

For comparison, I'd put her into the "low" tier. ReimuA is would be in the "mid" tier (and dealing damage quickly enough to boot), MarisaA and 4.00!SanaeB would be on the "high / god" tier so to speak.

Yeah it checks out.

FINALLY perfected the Prismriver sisters. A combination of the stage being way too long to grind, Lyrica's opener at max rank (solved by suiciding several times before the boss fight), and random walls on Concerto Grosso have kept this from happening sooner. That's two (or four if you want to get technical) bosses off my one mistake list. Now I only have The Magic Stones, Yuka, Mugetu/Gengetu, Sakuya, Remilia, Kanako, Suwako, Satori, Orin, Utsuho, MURASAAAA, and Shou taunting me.






EDIT: Just did a MS lunatic 1cc with Mima (who I hadn't played for a while). I got up to Yumeko 5/0 (with one more extend coming), finished the game 0/0. :B I blame this on her short bomb and Shinki bug killing me despite me not shooting or being near her. I am really curious as to what causes the bug, but I wonder if being Mima has anything to do with it. I don't remember it ever happening when I use Yuka.

The reason this is in the accomplishments thread is that I captured Yumeko's rape laser phase. I used Baity's supa secret never made public ultra mega happy strategy, and lo and behold it worked.

1cc PCB Lunatic!  First Lunatic 1cc in any game, except PoFV which doesn't count because it's completely different.  I went into stage 6 feeling super confident because I was at 5/3 and paid for it by being a huge idiot and losing a million lives on Yuyuko (and one on the first wave of Ageless Obsession lmfao).  Ended 0/3; it could have easily been 1/2 but I decided I would just go for it on the last wave of Resurrection Butterfly because if I didn't bomb it and survived I'd probably get another border and I like points :>  Too bad it didn't work out.

You should have went with Reimu. Then suiciding would be "unnecessary". (I'm sure that attack is capturable at max rank. My Marisa handling sucks though so i haven't checked.) Also congrats on Reimu even though you didn't get Blink. That sucks anyway.

If you're always winning with several lives in stock that's a sign you should be trying something harder instead of fooling around below your current level. Scoring, challenge runs, another game, whatever.

If you're not consistently winning with several lives in stock, then these are the flukes, not the 0/0 clears.

Maybe some challenge runs would be a good idea. Scoring beyond capturing spellcards/item collection takes memorization and currently there is no other Touhou games for me to do. Besides Mystic Square. Maybe i should go do that one. Right now, i'm most anticipating ZUN's next game in the series.

And the only game i don't clear with a bunch of additional lives is EoSD. Less resources and me who sucks at EoSD Bubbles.

[Formless God]

There's nothing left in Touhou for you to do. Either perfect Byakuren or go play some MAME :V

[Iryan]

There's nothing left in Touhou for you to do.

What about PoFV lunatic true paficist perfect?

[ふねん1]

I suppose capturing Eternal Meek Lunatic with ReimuB is an accomplishment.

Then again, it's Eternal Meek. :V

EDIT: Almost forgot, I captured "The Books" in Practice too (ReimuB again).

[Bananamatic]

go play some MAME :V

[nintendonut888]

I played through all the stages in MoF individually today. I got a 1DNB on stage 6, screwing up on VoWG as usual. Considering the slump I've been in the past few weeks, I'll take this as an accomplishment. Besides, I'm no good at VoWG. Me perfecting Kanako is a pipe dream until that changes.

[ebarrett]

currently there is no other Touhou games for me to do. Besides Mystic Square.

You put your sweet time into every single game in the series except Mystic Square?

BURN THE HERETIC

[nintendonut888]

Yeah seriously. Hurry up and do MS and UFO, both great games.

Murasa perfect~ 40 tries later, I realize what an idiot I am and how to make the third non-spell less painful. Once I did that, figured out why I kept dying on the second non-spell (reason: I'm an idiot), and learned to stop thinking rationally on Sinkable Vortex, I pulled it off despite screwing up Dipper Creeping Close.

http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=9705 The stage is rather embarrassing, but it feels great to do three long-awaited perfects in the span of 24 hours.

score high
get women

[ふねん1]

Holy crap, UFO Lunatic clear. (of course I continue-spammed through it, what are you crazy?)

This is what happens when I get really bored and want "new" danmaku. Only took about three hours to get through the whole thing, if that means anything, and like on Hard, I spent way more time on Byakuren than Shou because of LFS. I'm just glad I got this done before I would have needed to shut down for the night and grind everything again later.

IN stage 4a NDNB. I do fail Blink, but if you watch the replay I think you can forgive me for dying the way I did to it. Manly tears were shed.

[Zengeku]

BURN THE HERETIC

It stems from some bias towards the game after getting infuriated over MS Extra a long while ago. I have been entertained enough by playing Mystic Square though and it seems i'm pretty able at it. I should be able to get myself a 1cc. Thank goodness Yumeko is so short because i really can't seem to do well at her at all. My record is ND2B.

perfecting just randomly happen

Shut up. Perfecting bosses = awesome.
Danish women sucks anyway.

Yeah seriously. Hurry up and do MS and UFO, both great games.

Refer to my Youtube channel XD.

Everything that game does makes me angry in one way or another. I'm having fun playing other Touhou games. Win or fail. But UFO is held down for by boring stages (only stage 4 is fun) and bosses with gimmicks i hate. Except Extra mode. Nue's final attack is glorious. At least i find it fun.

MS have none of that however. Neither does any other Touhou game imo.
