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

[nintendonut888]

Drake sent me a DS vsynch patch, and it helped tremendously. I spent about 20 minutes on 12-4 before beating it, downloaded the vsynch patch, then did it my fifth try.  :]

http://rapidshare.com/files/417760069/vpatch_th125.dll Here. Don't forget it needs the other vsynch crap all the others need too. And like Drake said, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, RRR.

[Drake]

what the heck people i even posted it myself

[ebarrett]

Played PoDD for the first time in almost two months. First run, got a Kana 1cc on tape  :V

Expect a video before the weekend.

It says something about Touhou that I can wake up feeling terrible, make myself worse playing Mario Kart single player (****ing blue shells) and then capturing ONE spell makes me feel amazing.

Y-you...

Aaaaaargh, you make me want to hate myself and attempt to 1cc PoDD lunatic again. Good job. I'd play PoDD more if it weren't for that bizarre glitch in PoDD that makes it all:



If I run it on Anex86 on this computer. Have no freaking idea, the same file works on my old computer, so it's not a corrupted hdi file...

/\ This. THIS. THIS!!!

Heh heh, good job. Total Purification's really fun to capture the first time.

Oh yeah, as long as I'm here. Though it might not be a big crazy accomplishment, I managed to NBNB IN stage 2 last night, complete with last spell capture. Anyone who furrows their brow over Mystia's second non-spell should take a look at how I minimalize the problem here:

For some reason i found it hilarious that Donut have Half Life 2 on his desktop. But whatever. Played MoF today. Fun game. I like it. Just kinda annoying when Kanako keep letting me off with those 1DNB runs where the deaths always are on something else than VoWG. This time it was a pretty failish death on Yamato Torus with me running straight into a bullet. Derp.

But i think that almost consistently capping VoWG is an achievement. Also, Peerless Wind God seems easier for me all of a sudden. Sure sometimes i'm presented with a wall but in recent time i'm capturing it 1/3 of the time. I still need some time to recover from that 9/69 record.

Heh heh, good job. Total Purification's really fun to capture the first time.

Isn't it always fun? (That is until you randomly start smashing into walls)

[nintendonut888]

I don't quite understand, but I just captured Uncontainable Nuclear Reaction three times in a row, and 1DNB'd stage 6 (died on Hell's Tokamak due to nerves). I wonder though, if there's some reason for this. I can suddenly read the attack much better on a school computer than my home one, and the sun bullets seemed...smoother, easier to see. If I can make it like this at home, I could perfect this fight for sure!

EoSD lunatic 1cc.
Yeah, I played with 5 initial lives, but whatever, a clear is a clear!

[Drake]

i'm really good at touhou guys

[Chaotic Phoenixma]

Score: 111386080

Even with scoring penalties, you still scored higher than my default settings clear. I need to improve my scores, if I can get Vsync patch working.

[Zengeku]

Yeah, I played with 5 initial lives, but whatever, a clear is a clear!

EoSD Lunatic is hard. Congratulations.

EDIT: Speaking of EoSD lunatic, i did a few runs of it today. Just stage 3 runs. I am not really in the mood for anything tougher right now but daaaaaaaaaaaaamnn... I haven't played this game since i 1cc'ed it iirc and i have no idea why. Its really fun! A stage 3 boss that involves legitimate dodging? Now thats a rare sight. No stupid cards or attacks, just simple attacks. Just how i like it. She is not really that hard but there is just something about her that seems right. Something Yuugi, Nitori, Keine and Ichirin doesn't have.

I'll need to visit Patchouli and Sakuya and maybe Remilia over the coming days.

[ふねん1]

Whenever I capture the Catwalk, it seems I have a tendency to capture it multiple times right after (not always consecutive, of course). This has been going on for a while, but I'm trying to convince myself it might be my brain becoming momentarily able to assess the patterns more efficiently (i.e. an actual progression in skill). I still don't fully understand the kind of mindset I tend to be in anytime I get these captures (regarding the movements I choose to make), but it's a step in the right direction, since I can at least work off of it. If I can hone this kind of approach some more, then I'll no longer need to worry about potentially going into it with no Power during a scorerun.

[Janitor Morgan]

With a bit of effort, coupled with some trial and error (I didn't know you could dodge Cirno's shotgun that way), I successfully perfected EoSD Stage 2 on Lunatic in celebration of today.

...now if I could just apply that to my current skill level.

[ebarrett]

OK, Kana 1cc is up on Youtube:

Stages 1-4
Stages 5-8
Stage 9

God this translation patch rocks.

[nintendonut888]

_{Geez, no accomplishments all day?}

Just went through A1 for spell card cleanup, now I only have one left. Unfortunately, it's in the final battle, and I'm REALLY not keen on replaying 15 minutes just for one shot. :| This is why I'm not going to be super dedicated or heartbroken if I never capture all the spell cards in this game.

[ark]

Whew. IN Lunatic 1cc with Scarlet Team. Feels good to do it without Border Team hax. Reimu is easy.

[LHCling]

EDIT: ROFL Gold Medal Bug I'm going to abuse this so hard.

Interest peaked do tell. 

Unfortunately...I'm going to have to regard this as "classified information" (as "elitist" as this may come off as being). Gold Medallan Like a Moran^TM is a challenge considering that it's not something you're "supposed" to be doing. I will say that this abuse (poor word choice previously; it's not a bug at all) makes about 50% of the Spell Cards easier to Gold Medal.

Though, I did encounter one certain bug with regard to the actual "status" of the Gold Medal itself; it's History gets recorded even with replays. What I mean by this is, if you use a replay to ... replay a Gold Medal capture of a Spell Card, it will record down a(nother) point on the Spell Card. Like this:

Spoiler:

I love Drake's edit btw

I've only Gold Medal'd this Spell Card once. Unless of course, you want to assume that I'm lying and really have Gold Medal'd the above 7 times and am simply trying to force false information into the knowledgebase.

...going back to that abuse, thanks to it, I was able to successfully Gold Medal this:


By the way, I only have 4 Spell Cards left to Gold Medal before I have a full Route completed.

Spoiler:

The only reason why I'm bothering with Gold Medals is because I don't need practice on doing Spell Card properly in scoreruns

.

_{Geez, no accomplishments all day?}

Given that the royalflare board for FW just went up recently, I ended up slaving myself over learning UKT's routes highs, lows, all that and more for the entire day thus far.

Oh yes, please SUBMIT to the board as well. Not just you, but other people who read this as well. This isn't an order, this is a request.

Spoiler:

;___________; pleeeeeease?

Also, this probably should've been happening already but please, please please stick to the forum's image restrictions; there's almost no point in putting up a PNG in all it's GLORIOUS quality only to have my bandwidth raped sideways by something completely unnecessary; I assure you that something like the screencap above which is a JPG gets what I want to show across perfectly fine and being only ~33% of the size of a PNG of equivalent resolution as well! This cuts my consumption from that single image by 67%! While that may seem small, I don't go image surfing / stream / watch videos online / etc. a lot so in actuality, it actually does matter quite a bit to me.

Or at least thumbnail / leave it as a link.
Oh and a sidenote, the scoring system for FW is growing on me little by little; suiciding to freeze moar is becoming a reality if I want to beat UKT at this.

[Jaimers]

Pffff haha "classified information".
Fine then, I figured it out myself anyway. It's indeed pretty hilarious actually.

And I guess I'll leave this for the sake of the thread.

[Geoodees]

Nobody Cares How Bad You Are at Touhou? Well, if you say so.

I tried hard the other day, and I do quite well on almost all games. Maybe a 1cc soon?

The only game I actually 1cc is MoF on normal. I can almost do EoSD and PCB 1cc too. But stage 5, hot damn. :V

The rest... meh.

[LHCling]

Pffff haha "classified information".
Fine then, I figured it out myself anyway. It's indeed pretty hilarious actually.

Have fun with that.


3 left. Yes, it's w/ a continue so the replay doesn't exist and will definitely be a bitch to edit.

By the way, did I mention ilu Drake?

[scherzo]

1cc of MoF normal on my first crack at the game (though not my first time seeing the game). Onto lunatic!

[ふねん1]

Perhaps this one: today was my first time facing people from the Hisoutensoku chat, and I didn't get totally destroyed in the process. :V

[The Strongest]

(I'm terrible at touhou)

I just 1cc'd SA Easy, but the weird thing is, I needed 10+ continues to beat the game before, but this time I ended with 8 lives and even managed to 0 life 1 bomb freaking Orin...

Normal gogogo

[Zengeku]

I think i've found myself a way to enjoy Fairy Wars. Playing it on Easy removes any necessity for memorization and quite a bunch of the attacks are pretty fun to get gold medals on. Even though the game is indeed super easy on that difficulty.

There is actually some spellcards that makes you go EZ MODO!!! if you try to gold medal it. Lunatic is a pain to no-freeze though and i expect Hard mode is as well because those suicide bullets are still there and they really have people who don't want to freeze. Well, most of the high level danmaku does anyway.

Accomplishment? Well, i'd think that finding amusement with this game is an accomplishment in itself. Maybe Normal mode is no-freeze friendly as well...

Drake is right. Especially since your SA 1cc look quite good. 8 lives in stock is good. Better than i usually did back when i cleared SA Normal.

[Jaimers]

Holy shit. I never realised how much of a difference suiciding right before Marie makes.
It's like an entirely different game. 

Also, "Fairy Overdrive" Gold Medal.

Haven't used ~that abuse~ yet either!
