GFW's the hardest of all.
I was close with Nue but haven't been able to get that far again :(
That's the same for Flandre and Koishi too :( :(
I guess I'm stuck for now :( :( :(

EoSD lunatic 1cc. Cleared 3/1, which I think is a new personal best, but there were still some horrific errors, such as messing up the rhythm on the second non-directional laser and bombing twice. :fail:

You don't still start with 5 lives do you?

No. >_> I made doubly sure this time I started with three. I hope you aren't insinuating I did that on purpose last time.

Also a fun fact: After that 1cc, I tried extra. Died on Scarletty, but on a slow bullet when a wall wave wasn't even close. Then around Maze of Love I decided I didn't want to circle around at all and died there too. I'm surprised I cleared at all (0/1), since I lost all drive to do anything but screw around at that point.
nintendonut888: Hey Baity. I beat the high score for Sanae B hard on the score.dat you sent me. X3
Baity: For a moment, I thought you broke 1.1billion. Upon looking at my score.dat, I can assume that you destroyed the score that is my failed (first!) 1cc attempt on my first day of playing. Congratulations.

Fuck Fucking Yeah! That was close, but I made it! Also, would a 5.6% slowdown be considered passable? The game kept lagging after S4 (since I found a fix to shot button lock that involves tapping Alt, but it gave the game a slight bug, where the letter pressed and a cursor would appear in top left corner like in the notepad and the game lagged a little because of that. Not that I dodged anything thanks to the lag).

Nah, it's cool. I know for a fact that lag, especially in SA, doesn't help. =_= Good job, SA is probably the hardest normal to 1cc, at least the first time.

GFW's the hardest of all.
I was close with Nue but haven't been able to get that far again :(
That's the same for Flandre and Koishi too :( :(

Memorize the stage portions to get to the boss with max lives.
This is more difficult on Nue though, having the hardest stage portion besides GFW.

QED is the hardest last spell of all of them, so you need to prepare for that, plus Flandre stage gives only 4 lives.
Plus side is that Flandre has some easy spells (easily capped or 1-bomb) and nonspells.

Koishi is doable if you get _lots_ of practice (100+ attempts reaching her),
and somehow becomes easy after you beat her.
Her cards tend to mess with your mind (like the heart cards), so practice to get around that hurdle.
Once you get over it, those cards are actually quite doable.
Genetics is not that scary - just memorize a route and never try to dodge 2 waves at the same time.

Ha ha, I finally did it! I can finally add Yukari to my "one mistake" list. Screwed up BoLaD as expected (when you don't know how to cheese it out it really is one of the toughest spell cards in the series), but perfected the rest of her. Welcome to the group Yukarin~

For reference, here's the current list:

Magic Stones, stage 5 Yuka, the 'getsus, EX Alice (I think, my best may be a 2DNB), Sakuya, Remilia, Flandre, Yukari, Marisa, Kanako, Suwako, Orin, Utsuho, Shou, Nue

I'm so awesome. :V

I dunno. I think maybe that you did once. But if you started out with just three lives then i suppose your run went pretty well. Haven't played the game much myself since the 1cc.

If just hitboxes weren't inconsistent...

What is killing you then?
Besides the last 3 cards, you should be able to capture almost everything.
I mean, you shouldn't die to anything before Rainbow UFO, and even that isn't as BS as it looks.

I've unlocked yukari's last word and got to the sixth wave, on my first try and got the blind spot right.

Failed miserably, also, anybody has any freaking advice for fucking fantasy heaven? Seriously, those last 5 seconds ALWAYS get me, and I got the rest of the card mapped out  :ohdear:

Now with more NEET

I said this in the other thread, but you should unfocus more during the stage portions.  Yukari's shot doesn't lock on unless you're underneath the enemy, whereas Reimu's amulets will hit stuff anywhere on the screen.  The beginning of stage 2 and some of stage 4 would be easier and more profitable for you if you'd use Reimu instead of Yukari there.  In stage 4 this has the added benefit of killing most of the enemies before they can shoot at you, which means you don't have to dodge things and you can POC if you feel like it.

Not sure why you were timing out random stuff in the early game.  It won't really do anything for you score and it just adds more margin for error, so I wouldn't recommend it.  If you want to improve your score, it's best to work on minimizing your deaths and bombs first.  Capturing extra spells will give you way more time orbs than grazing stuff, and the extra bombs/lives will help your end of game bonus as well.

Keine would be easier for you if you'd use Reimu to shoot down some of her familiars.  The midboss part isn't too bad if you focus the whole time but her bossfight noncards are real hard if you do that.  Since there's that long gap directly beneath Keine in both of them, you can just sit there and fire unfocused for a while to blow up her front row of familiars.  That makes her much, much more manageable.

For Kaguya's last spells:
1) I position myself right below the line under the spellcard name when it shows up on the screen.  Then, just slowly tap down when you need to avoid the big bullets.  If you time it right you can do this no-horizontal, but if you move down a little too much there's time to move left or right near the end of the card.
2) You seem to understand how this works (move somewhere where the bullets aren't going to hit you and stay there) but it's hard to pull off in practice.  If there's a good method to capture this consistently I don't know it :X
3) This one is just timing your dodges.  I do this novert to keep it simple.  Just hang out for a bit until it looks like you're gonna get hit soon, then move left or right into a new 'space'.
4) It's best to start this one on the far left or right side, so you can stream the big red bullets when they start coming out.  This is a hard card to capture, but if you last a bit longer you won't lose as much time on your clock.
5) This is probably her hardest last spell and you captured it, so hell yeah :D

So, yeah!  You did pretty well on a lot of hard stuff (you handed the Marisa fight pretty well, for example) but if you're looking for places to improve your run these are some things you could look at.  If there are any specific spells that give you a really hard time you should ask about those in the spellcard help topic; IN has spell practice mode so it's not hard to learn and practice new methods for stuff.

oh and uh I'm assuming when you were asking for people to 'shit on your accomplishment' you meant 'help me find ways to make my numbers go up' so that's what this is; if this isn't OK let me know :>  I'm not tryna say your run wasn't good, I'm just trying to help you get even better!

I think Grudge Bow is killing me.
Tried a joke run and got to the final phase of grudge bow.
I lost and she had this much health left(-----).

Would anybody say that EX Alice is easy?
I have done the Getsus.
Or even EES if I have to.

Blazing Star Style Tag gold medal. Through skill + infinite luck. I'll upload the replay later and you'll see what I mean.

And also, apparently, found a glitch I didn't know about. The game thinks that replays are me playing the game and recorded my reliving of the moment as a second playthrough, so I now have two gold medals...

Went into Grudge Bow 1/0 and came out 0/1 :V
EX bosses beaten so far: Ran, Yukari, Mokou, Getsus, Suwacko and Nue.
All I have left is Flandre, Koishi and Marisa

Also, congratz on Honest Man's Death, that card is pretty intimidating at first, but after you get the hang of it... Well, not so much. It actually becomes laughable.
