Successfully managed to pacify the entire stage portion of Imperishable Night normal Stage 3. Died on Keine's 2nd nonspell and Orb while trying to pull the perfect pacifist.

Lost three 600M potential runs to Stage 5 Midboss Sakuya's nonspell today, two of her ramming me and one timeout. ;;

Edit / gameovered a 590m run on gensokyo that had two major mistakes. Died with one bomb before meiling which cost me 15m and a death on books with 3 bombs which cost me 25m.

Tried to perfect Kagerou on hard, died on the first nonspell THREE times. What the actual fuck?!

Nice to be back into playing, nice to be actually failing at things that aren't MoF LNB.

Tried to beat IN lunatic no focus again, got to Hourai Jewel again too. Capped a couple cards that I probably shouldn't have captured or jsut haven't captured in a while (Ephemerality 137, Event Horizon at 125 power, Invisible Full Moon, Brilliant Dragon Bullet, Salamander Shield), failed some cards I should probably never fail regardless of conditions (Three Treasures: Country and Galaxy in a Pot). Lots of stage bombs, a couple dumb deaths and bad resource management at the end of Kaguya (I bombed Life Spring Infinity twice...then screwed up the beginning of Hourai Jewel). I know this is something I can do, and the reason this goes in rage as opposed to anything else? I should have had it with a life to spare, but I choked. Hard. Ah well, such is the life of challenge runs. I'm also kind of annoyed at myself for not wanting to try again while warmed up, but that's a psychological thing I need to figure out more than anything else.

Sometimes I wonder how I got as far as I did without ever really grinding anything out at a rate of more than 1 try per day. That method of play just doesn't work for what I'm trying to do now...

Oh wow, I think that was a potential 3 billion run too.

I need to step up my game!

Oh · « **Reply #396 on:** January 10, 2014, 01:38:36 AM »

Is this another shot? Or did you get a new score.dat?

Also I like your comment.

Mero · « **Reply #397 on:** January 10, 2014, 02:19:05 AM »

It's a new score.dat, I did some silly TAS runs on my previous file without a backup

Edit: More SA scoring rage...

I had 2 1/5 lives on BoWaP, but failed the safespot, although it was -still- better than the usual runs, by stage 5 I had over 50k graze, 1b score and I had an extra life, and I was at 3.70 power, so I could get 3 power back on the yinyang section, and I do, but I die again, then fuck-up the next section and bomb all of Orin's attacks

Cat Walk left me with 0.95 power so it's pretty obvious what follows...

Burning Love · « **Reply #398 on:** January 12, 2014, 01:34:54 PM »

Died at Sanae's last Spellcard in MOF. 2 times. And I was doing very well with Aya too

I'm sure you'd have a chance of perfecting the entire game in fewer attempts than that. How the hell did you even have the patience to give it about 2700 attempts in 2 days anyway

Now that's a lot of attempts o_o. Maybe you could try taking a break and coming back to it later.

O_O so many tries
Yeah. I couldn't capture Imperishable shooting for a while so gave up. Months later, got better and eventually captured.

Wooooo! Four fucking thousand attempts! At this point, I pretty much stopped dying to the worms unless walled, and the thunderballs still proved to be fucking little buggers. But with this, my Sanae Overdrive capture collection is finally completed. No more. :getdown:

CyberAngel · « **Reply #404 on:** January 18, 2014, 12:27:58 PM »

Congrats!

This is actually one of my favourite cards in TD. No, I haven't captured it yet, but it's a spellcard I just plain enjoy playing. I really like curvy lasers and can read them no problem, and studying the way balls move is fun as well. But this card is a bit special. Usually, I limit the number of tries I throw at a spellcard, after which I say, "No, this is too hard for me now, I'll be back later". For this one, all limits are off, I just can't help retrying it many times over in a row and enjoying every attempt. Well, I only have a few hundred tries total at most, but I'm in no rush to capture it (although it would be nice). Yet I have to say this spellcard alone made me like Seiga and her boss theme. Both the battle and the music are so full of drive (lol) I can't help enjoying them now.

EDIT

Chiyuri. Drenched in the blood of a thousand Mimas. It may not look like a lot, but consider that Mima has a 32x62 pixel sprite.

Mr Jovial · « **Reply #406 on:** January 26, 2014, 03:09:27 PM »

Been trying to NMNB IN Stage 6A. Normally I would do 5 captures of Apollo 13 then do stage practices. Today I did Apollo 13 once, capped it and decided it was mostly luck as to whether or not I capped it. Then I end up doing 5-7 stage attempts, capping Apollo 13 on exactly 0 of them, including a 1MNB so I decide "kay I'll practice it then

". Do the other 4 captures I would normally do and I ended up getting those 4 captures in 6 attempts. Pls Apollo, be gentle

Sakurei · « **Reply #407 on:** January 26, 2014, 03:58:17 PM »

It might help you to know that it's a static pattern that rotates, so you can micromemorize it, if you really cared.

But don't worry, Apollo 13 was the thing I failed most when I was doing NMNB attempts of that stage, too.

Mr Jovial · « **Reply #408 on:** January 26, 2014, 04:54:49 PM »

The thing is, I have memorized a route through it. It all depends on whether or not I run into a bullet like an idiot, and I'm a really big idiot sometimes :V

Sakurei · « **Reply #409 on:** January 30, 2014, 12:20:38 PM »

Not lucky enough. My stage 5 and 6 were Reimu and Ellen respectively. Among the worst you can get (Reimu was pretty cruel forcing me to use both my bombs really early - it was the lowest scoring fight this run. Ellen died fucking too soon as usual). Kotohime steamrolled me in the first round thus wasting a life (only 2.5m or so). The winning round was good though. I got 13m or so from that. Chiyuri was a monster as usual, killing me twice. Both losing rounds were shit. 3 and 4 million. The winning round was 13 million. I entered Yumemi with 90m, with the nature of how Yumemi tends to be, a clear would have most certainly been enough to reach 100m. I could have reached it with a game over too if Yumemi hadn't used the cloud of death 60% of the time. I kid you not. She literally used it more than half the time her boss used any attack.

Once again, not lucky enough...One day, maybe.

EndlessBlue · « **Reply #410 on:** January 30, 2014, 02:02:49 PM »

I died at the end of Meiling's Color Typhoon. I quit the game and didn't play for a few days.

an unmatched sock · « **Reply #411 on:** January 30, 2014, 06:05:24 PM »

Aya is still literally the worst ever.

MoF normal, get to her with 4 extra lives. Lost all of them. Every single time a clipdeath. Final one was right before the bullets vanished on her final card.

Opinions are opinions, but Aya is the absolute worst. No other Stage 4 boss (except maybe Merlin) makes me nearly as angry as she does. Between this and PoFV...

Just no, Aya. No.

Monkeypro257 · « **Reply #412 on:** January 30, 2014, 11:48:49 PM »

Aya's Peerless Wind God is real pain! (makes me bomb 2X all the time!) I don't really have a problem with the rest. Also Mokou's: Hourai's "-Fugiyama Volcano-" I only remember passing this one only once. . .

Sakurei · « **Reply #413 on:** January 31, 2014, 11:34:29 AM »

This fucking game, man. It just doesn't want me to 100m, no matter what. Overall definitely worse than yesterday, but I had a 13m reimu on stage 1 and a 14m Rikako in stage 3; those were fantastic rounds. Mima and Marisa were also okay with 9m each. Stage 5 and 6 were Ellen and Kana, both died early, so uhh, I entered Kotohime with 54m I think. Kotohime was okay. Nothing exceptional - I died once and entered Chiyuri with 70m. Chiyuri was horrible. I lost twice and still only got 17m from her. Yumemi went as you can see. One-sided slaughter. Yumemi's boss RNG wasn't as bad as yesterday, but instead the match went out of control and I don't know why. I tried to contain it, but it wouldn't work. GG

One day...

FrozenTide · « **Reply #414 on:** February 04, 2014, 03:14:09 AM »

Died to the last second of Marisa's final spell card in Impershiable Night. Which probably counts as a derp moment too, but up to that point I hadn't died in the run and was trying to do a no-death run...

So I raged.

Makedounia · « **Reply #415 on:** February 08, 2014, 10:46:21 PM »

I almost perfected Flandre. I have never been even close to perfecting her and suddenly I captured everything except the last spellcard (it was really close though). Damn it!

Elysia · « **Reply #416 on:** February 09, 2014, 07:18:38 AM »

Finally got to Unseen Area 3 on Advanced mode in Phantasmagoria Trues.

With 7 lives to spare.

Game over at the boss' first spellcard.

CyberAngel · « **Reply #417 on:** February 09, 2014, 05:32:47 PM »

Alice solo is horrible. I finished her Normal 1cc with no lives left. I usually have this much trouble when playing Hard. It would've been nice if her narrow laser was more powerful, at least. I mean, seriously, Yukari and Remi can deal more damage when right below the enemy, while Yuyuko deals just as much, but all three can also deal damage when they're not. Alice doesn't have any tricks to compensate for that. Aside from a reliable screen-cleaner bomb, which is pretty weak and doesn't help all that much with survival since dealing damage is usually more important, and having Marisa for a teammate, which doesn't apply for solo youkai.

PMW · « **Reply #418 on:** February 10, 2014, 06:55:24 AM »

Oh man that's a really good score, way higher than what I was aiming for, let's save the replay-

I'm up to 1600 attempts on Serial Killer Crown (P.Trues Last Word 29).

Then I see the 1/28 spell card history on this picture.

Cue bewilderment and rage. It's worse because I only need this and one other spell to complete the set, and I really don't want to deal with memorizing Muse until I have to.
