Not a great score, but it's my highest score in PCB (including my Phantasm score, what?)

Chalros - Normal ReimuA -720265630 - C - Replay

This run includes a death on Chen, which normally I would restart but I decided recently I would clear all shot types on Normal for every game and this was my first attempt at this particular one. I was confident enough that I would 1cc the game so I just continued anyway.
Current Goals: Clear all games on hard with every shottype (or team, not all solos in IN)

Remaining: EoSD 0, PCB 3, IN 0, MoF 3 (Marisa B doesn't count), SA 4, UFO all B types, TD Youmu, total 14.

I had a ReimuB run with 27m more, but I didn't save the replay because I was too pissed about not getting 1b.  I like Marisa a lot more for most parts, but the mistakes are so much more punishing.  Eg. Not having a border for stage 6 seems to be a big no-no with Marisa, whereas basically anyone else can just throw down a bomb at the PoC and not give a fuck.  On the other hand, she makes S4 so much easier... Maybe I'll redo it later or something.

Sexy 1b, oh so satisfying~!  A couple silly border breaks on S3/4, missed Yuyuko's "last" and border broke reflowering.  I feel really bad about the reflowering hit because I usually perfect that with ease... Broke 1400 point items for the first time though, which let me finish with max lives  Really messed up on my Youmu planning and entered S6 without a border, leaving me stuck with a suicide.  I don't think it cost me too much though thankfully.  PoCing Yuyuko's third non was a miracle to say the least.  It could have very easily gone very bad there, and it hasn't hesitated to do so in previous runs...  In any case, goal achieved!

Haha. Misplaced my borders for stage 2, which was swiftly followed by a missclicked bomb at the start of stage 2, when nothing was on the screen. Decided to go on since why not. Alice was okay, even while I only captured 2/4 spells (I accidentally timed out two). Had a pretty good stage 4, I think. Missed some point-items since I have no idea how the shit works, but it was okay. Died two times, which were the only deaths in this run unless I'm forgetting something. Had pretty okay-ish borders, even tho' I did take the wrong sister. (..Lunasa??) for the solo. Entered stage 5 a bit short 500k cherrymax which was rather bad, but I didn't honestly give a shit.
The best thing about stage 5 was how I failed the border for the spamshit portion. It was unarguably 5/5 ebin :D. I giggled a bit.
Youmu was okay, I did not really plan any borders and got the stage 6-spam's border without really thinking much. Yuyuko didn't really do anything, besides the fact that I broke a border to her third card. I need to check how that happened - I was pretty sure I was on the clear. However, it was only like 12m-15m card anyway so who cares. I also skipped two borders during her by shooting focused since I could've died to something. I, however, did not (die).
Of course, the run was not good enough, so I decided to make it a bit better by breaking a border during the slowdown on Reflowering (the border breaking sound was kawaii as fuck), so I didn't get the spell bonus from it. I don't know how much it would've been, but probably not really much since I focused on PoC'in instead of grazing.
In the end, I had max rescourses, 1b, and a joyous feeling. This was rather fun to do, even while the score is not really good, the run sucks and I didn't achieve anything (asides a max rescources clear, maybe).  - These non-serious moments and laughs in the middle of hard scorerunning are fun every now and then, they feel good and refreshing.

Rather dull, rather bland. I'd like to perfect Yukari, some day, wihtout any real attempts at it. I like her battle and theme very much.



Last run tonight, I'm getting too sleepy for this. (I failed holding Z, wondered why does the card not end, and died). Was pretty funny, even tho' I have no idea of MarisaA so I'm just using a survival route. Seems pretty bad, but whatever, it's not like I'm going to compete with these. The first bomb was also what, I didn't remember pressing X. Oh well.

I decided to go on with the run after a border break to Chen's final noncard. Stage 3 was okay, but I failed stage 4 really really hard. First of all I accidentally ended Prism first card prematurely, netting only a sum of 5m as a Spell Bonus, and losing awful amounts of graze. Also picked Merlin since I wanted to experiment a bit and it was... pretty horrible. I tried to do some grazing with her spell and ended up breaking a border. Jeez. Everything else was okay, didn't fail final card as I did on an earlier run today.
But the stage five was gruesomely horrible. I failed to get the border for the streaming after midboss Youmu (argh), broke one border somewhere around Youmu and also died once to the first card since I'm a fucking idiot and forgot where the bullets hitbox was. Fuck.
The stage six spam was rather lame with only 590k Cherrymax, but at least I got my border during it. Then I ended midboss Youmu's noncard way too early and had to readjust my borders a bit. Everything would've been okay but I broke a border to the first Yuyuko card, losing some cherry and a border bonus. Whatever, carried on and did everything as it should be done - apart from maybe ending Flowery Soul way too early, almost missing a border for Repository (I got it, thank goddess) and not gaining a second border during Yuyuko's penultimate card. Reflowering was okay, I'm starting to get used to doing the PoC thing on the lower difficulties.

Not much to say about this run. It has some good stuff, and then there are the messy parts. At least I didn't bomb this time. Kind of aiming for someone's low-hanging ancient condition runs, maybe hoping for that someone to return, just to take the spot back. It's a fool's hope, but whatever. Never stop dreaming.

It kind of feels stupid, that this run is only a 4M improvement to my old one. And yet so many things are different. Where should I start.

Okay, background. I've been wanting to beat Erppo's PCB score for a long while, and the recent stage 4 weekly got me really interested in ReimuA. Interested enough to start forming my own route.

This run was first to achieve many things. Maybe it could have been the first to hit the 1.4b, had I not fucked up so majorly in the late game. For example, I broke my stage 1 normal cherrymax record, it's now 235k. My overtime record gain of cherry in stage 1 is on easy, which would be 36k. I also have some 40k gaining hard MarisaA runs, but those are not relevant, since they never make it to the end. The stage 1 grazing was pretty low, though. I should've been way past 600 when it ended. Oh well, not a big fuckup. I still don't handle the manly ways of supergrazing the two borders I gain within stage 1, but 15k of cherry from grazing does not sound too bad, at least not for me. I did try to look into some of Heartbeam's replays for tricks here, but I just can't follow it. He's too good with this game. Or I'm too bad. Most likely the latter.
Stage 2 went awesomely well, every border was right where I wanted them to be, and the RNG was smiling. Which meant something I've never hit during stage 2 normal before, that something being 300,480 Cherrymax during stage 2. I was really happy to see that happening. The grazing was a pit poor outside it and I still have no idea what the fuck are HS and Heartbeam doing during Chen's penultimate card.
The third stage and Alice are a thing, which I am really bad at. About 10 runs ended on stage 3 before this one. I should really improve my consistency here. Lately I've been implementing the grazing for Alice's first midboss appearance, for the first two waves I circle around her. Unless the RNG is shit I do not fail this, but as you can see I'm still a bit new to it - I don't gain the optimal graze here. Which is not the main failure in stage 3 I did. The main failure is dying to the wave of fairies before  the second midboss Alice. I've died to a lot of stuff but it's first time for me to die here. Thankfully it's not that bad since I gain quite a bit of cherryitems right after it. And I do continue, mainly since I want to save the run to take a screen of the 300k cherrymax in stage 2. It really felt good, at least with this route. The rest of Alice goes quite well, while I falter a bit with the latter cards. Especially Alice's second card. I just can't get the grasp of the PoC trick here. Or maybe I'm too much of a coward to try. Whichever it is, I'm losing some precious points there.
Stage 4. PCB stage 4, which I used to fear when I still played for my first 1CC. And now I fear it when scoring. My route is pretty solid here, I know what to do perfectly well. I never die to RNG-releated stuff, I can avoid that by being clever enough. What gets me is some static failures. First thing was completely messing up the border for the final wave of fairies in the opener. I still got it for the wave, but I didn't really get any graze during it. Nevertheless I've had awesome first two stages so I have 400k Cherrymax to work on during stage 4. It could be easily pushed to 600k, maybe even beyond that if I started to break my route. I somehow fail either pre-Lily or post-Lily, or both, on every full run. Maybe I'm just too much of a shit for this, I don't know. This time the mistake was post-Lily, and what a mistake that was. I entered the post-Lily grazes with 471k Cherrymax. I could push that to 520k with perfect work, unless I'm calculating something wrong. This run, I leave the post-Lily portiong with the awesome amount of 484k Cherrymax. Which is like one border and grazing 30 bullets. Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad. The another bad thing is, that I just don't understand how to get all the fairies during the pre-Prismriver spam. I miss one almost every wave. Heartbeam gets them, HS gets them, and I have no idea how it works. And I'm a coward again, I don't dare to ask for help. Or maybe it's that I already got more than enough, and now I want to figure something by myself. But yeah, this thing is something I just.. don't understand. More hours needed.
Prismrivers. I'm pretty okay at those three, to be honest. I do pick "the wrong sister" since I am horribly inconsistent with everything else, especially when stressed by a real run. But I've formed a route for the sisters and actually improved the route lately. Which means some extra tricks, and cherrypoints. I also recently broke my record on the first card on normal gaining 10M from it. Of course on this run, I forgot to stop shooting and end it too early, netting only a bit over 5M from the bonus. I recently watched a stage practice run where the player does some sick shit during the Prism Concerto. I, sadly, do not understand how it works. And even if I did, the dodging would be too high level for me. Maybe some day, but certainly not today.
Stage 5. Usually I can handle Youmu quite well, but this time it was the bane of this run. A lot of major fuckups happened. First of all, I started the stage with a premature border. It would not be too bad, and it actually helps me as I don't have to break the second border of the stage (I wouldn't have had to break this one either, but of course I accidentally did by ramming into... something like an idiot). But, it means that I have to PoC the stage 5 early spam. Twice. And I'm quite bad at that, to be blunt. Somehow I pulled it off this time, and nothing bad happened, but everything could've ended there, that's how scary it was. And then Youmu, whom I usually handle without trouble. I start by dying to the midboss card, without even trying to supergraze it. Awesome. Next thing is I panic during the first card and BOMB. I should be doing NB-scoreruns, this is unacceptable. The run is wrecked now, but I want to finis for aforementioned reasons. I still can hit the 620k Cherrymax back during Youmu, everything is ok. Unless I  ram into a bullet during the easiest card in the stage. Which of course happens. This also almost ruins my border timing for the stage 6 spam, but I still save the cherrycount by breaking a border during Youmu's final card. It's only a spell bonus I'm losing, not like that has happened with every boss Youmu's card but one during this run. Yeah I captured one card from stage 5. Superplay.
Stage 6 starts with way too low bpv, which I cannot do anything to before the spam portion ends. At least I gain the border for the spam, which I break in order to restore some decency. Or maybe I accidentally rammed into a bullet, my mind was really cloudy at that point. In any case, after the infernally shit stage 5, I am entering Yuyuko with 875M and a 640k Cherrymax. I've had a run which entered Yuyuko with 900M and 662k. That run died three times to Yuyuko's second card. But that run is gone, forget about that run. Everything else on Yuyuko goes quite good, aside from the fact that I don't supergraze anything before the third card since I have no idea how to, until I succesfully run into a knife during the third non. And theres a space enough to fill a fucking cow just left from me. I'm not this bad, it's the stress of a real run, that's what it is. I graze the third card with the pussymode since the manly style is too hard. 20M bonus, that's enough for me. Repository gains me 32M, which is a record on that card on normal. I skip one border during the final card due to tension, and my inconsistency, just plainly capturing it with fully focused shooting below the boss. Then Reflowering, I could've grazed a bit more. I SHOULD'VE grazed a bit more. Only worth of 900k. But no. No, of course not. Ending bonus is 204M, just a tiny bit more would have been needed to gain 1.4b. I could've grazemilked stage 6 midboss Youmu's non, for example. That would've done it.

All the tension for nothing. The score is bad, the goal is bad. I should not care, not after seeing someone lose several 2b runs and talk about those. Reading several WR tier posts, WR tier fails. But of course I do care, this is my playing, best I can pull off. Special for me.

Geh. I have to keep heading for that 1.4b.

Going to be mean again and stop your post (just cut+paste it into a new one if you weren't already planning to.  I want to see it get larger.  Oh, but what if I respond again).

I still have no idea what the fuck are HS and Heartbeam doing during Chen's penultimate card.

Please tell me it's because you haven't tried to study it and not because you can't figure it out.

Quote
The rest of Alice goes quite well, while I falter a bit with the latter cards. Especially Alice's second card. I just can't get the grasp of the PoC trick here. Or maybe I'm too much of a coward to try. Whichever it is, I'm losing some precious points there.

Only like four and a half million.  Less since you caught some.  It's been a low priority for a while for me; as long as you pick up the cherry items (which you did).

Quote
I somehow fail either pre-Lily or post-Lily, or both, on every full run.

Don't know if that's supposed to be categorized under human error or incomplete planning.

Quote
The another bad thing is, that I just don't understand how to get all the fairies during the pre-Prismriver spam.

Doable, but I wouldn't worry too much about the first red wave with Reimu-A, and you should be focusing on grazing for the second one (although you could try both, but again, I don't think it's for Reimu-A to pull off).  Staying on one side for the blue waves works (just take the first one out sooner), or you can do what the non-homing shot types do.

Quote
I still save the cherrycount by breaking a border during Youmu's final card. It's only a spell bonus I'm losing

I would have held on to it.  A spell bonus plus the border, and that should outweigh the few point items dropping from the first fairy swarm if you don't POC.  I could be wrong.

I was planning to beat some ancient condition #1 (probably one of the MarisaB ones) by you and hope you would return just to post a new score. I guess it works this way too.
Please tell me it's because you haven't tried to study it and not because you can't figure it out.
I tried to understand it and copy it a bit sometime during the winter. I tried once again and it seemed a bit more understandable. I have still been avoiding it, since it would take effort to learn. And since I feel like my targets (1.4 and 1.5) could be achievable without it.

Quote

Yeah, my focus is to gain cherryitems, since losing a border would be rather bad. It still is pretty hard, since ReimuA tends to home to Alice and I am not sure if I am ending the card at the right place. Has worked okay this far. Maybe I will improve my performance at it once everything else has been done with my route.

Quote

Both. I am certainly not sure of the border during Lily, and the breaks after it. I do know where to break them, but the stress of a real run makes my timing falter. Stupid.

I am really bad at the non-homing routes for stage 4. Focus on grazing... yeah. I probably could. I tried doing some funny stuff with the 'death fairy' in stage practice, but it felt stupid and failed anyway. Some grazing could be learned, I will look into it.

Quote

I would not be able to gain a border for the spam in time, I think. And PoC kills me every time I try it on a full run, I cannot do it consistently even on stage practice. Bombing on ReimuA..... I would not think it would work with that 'high' cherry values. And I would like to play without bombs, anyway. You know the shot and the game better, though. So I am more likely wrong.

Quote
Good to know you ended the post on a higher note.
Good to know it did not feel stupid. It certainly felt wrong to think so much of so bad scores compared to yours. However it felt important to me, so I wrote about it anyway, whether it was embarrassing or not.

Nice work with that MarisaA normal. I did not get to know about it until you had left. And I wanted to congratiulate you. Oh, and thanks for the look into stage 4 practice.

I will keep going, posting more scores and so. Maybe improving the targets as I go on. It still feels sad to be this late, it - could - have been different had I started years earlier. Well, maybe one day I will reach even one of your PCB scores. Maybe.

Thanks for watching my replay and posting, it feels nice to know that I am not alone on the scoreboard.

Been busy with STGT lately, so haven't put much thought into normal ReimuA, Once the thing ends I probably start working on it again. Unless I return to IN easy to hunt for a WR or something, but that feels unlikely.

In any case, this Galuda week at STGT was killing me in addition to catching a flu last Monday. I needed some less-pressuring stuff, and did a bit of PCB Phantasm.

It's been almost a year since I got beaten by T in it, so I guess it'd be cool to beat him on the anniversary of that day. It probably won't happen, though, since that would require me to learn a better route, which would take time.
I also spotted a new name in the uploader doing some PCB Extra NFNDNB runs. It kind of reminded me of Cactu back when he blogged about his extra NDNB runs at a Finnish board. It kind of made me want to play PCB Phantasm even more.

And it leads us here.

Phantasm - SakuyaB
Seppo Hovi - 1,147,776,310 - C - 0.135% - Replay

The run. It's a not-so-serious thing, as probably shown from my overall attitude around the run. I won't be too strict about supergrazes or cherry values, or whatsoever, and I don't timeout noncards. (which I do with extra) I have been practicing some grazing for Ran's first card though, and I'm consistently ending it at 7m+. The max value is near to 8m, and it was not too tight either. Didn't feel too hard, but I don't do it entirely to the end due to consistency problems. I also don't graze midboss Ran's second non - I have completely no idea how to. Or actually I do have some idea about doing it, and I know the basic spot for doing it, but I certainly don't handle it up to the extent some of the more better people handle it to. Maybe when I start improving the route I reform the border spots so that they are 1st non and 2nd card. But that shall wait.
Up to Yukari stuff goes quite well according to my plans, besides the fact that I have a border ending a bit early, which takes some thousands from the cherrymax - I'd like to do the second stream of kedama's as well. In any case, 475k stage cherrymax is not a bad performance for me, - It definetly is not a good performance either, but I'm content with those numbers, at least for this run. The bomb is spemt at the spam.
Dreams and Reality, 6m to 8m for me. Which is a bad thing. I really should learn the supergrazing for it, given how profitable it is. It does not look that hard, but I just can't gather enough courage to try it... I definetly should look into learning it, though.
Everything is okay up to the fift non. I end Mesh of Light and Darkness a bit soon without grazing at all, but it still scares me quite a bit. The card is not that hard at all, but I still fail it sometimes. Stupid me, not knowing how to dodge bullets. I don't, really, know how to dodge sometimes. It has been worrying me lately. A good UFO run ended at Shou (again) since I was highly paniced and pressured about the fact that I was so close. Which lead me into completely forgetting how to dodge. Calmness would be really, really important to achieve during full runs, it would termendously increase my consistency.
Back to the run, I bomb the fifth non. This is not stage 5 and ReimuA, so a bomb does not completely kill my score. It still is stupid, I panic and have to bomb. Once again. And it's funny how I always nail this one without trouble on pacifist runs. Something silly about real runs, seriously.
Everything is fine again after it, even though I do the fifth and sixth cards really, really unoptimally, and skip one border again. Panic, fear, stupid stuff. And hey, border break at DBDB . Again. This card just somehow is hell for me. ALWAYS killing me, seriously. The less-played (only 180h) score.dat I currently am on - my better computer is being fixed - has only a 2/37 history. The more played at home has even more embarrassing one. I'm horrible with cards where I have to dodge bullets, especially during lategame.
Well, the summon card. I did a nofocus run of extra earlier, where everything started to fall apart as I Ran into Chen. I don't have much trouble surviving the Yukari's version, but I certainly don't understand the two-borders-magic HS-sanbo does here. Or I do understand it, it's about shooting Ran instead of Yukari. But I've had really hard time copying that. I pick the border for this card and lay off the border for early survival. I'll be missing one border - again - but it has been happening on this run quite a bit anyway.
Survival is just fine, my heart is racing a bit again and my hands are getting unsure, the panic is getting at me. I dodge bullets up to the final phase, where I dodge more bullets. Until..... I bomb at 00 - while completely safe. Why? I am afraid. - That's why. Completely losing it when I get too exited about stuff. I - really - need to work on this calmness thing.
After bombing the survival I'm okay again. BoLaD doesn't seem to let me safespot itself, so I run around with Yukari for a bit while damaging her, until I finally find a spot where I am safe. I'm playing SakuyaB, so some fire misdirection makes it not necessary to dodge the final phase. This is what my playing should be like - calm and systematic, finding a way around the hard stuff where I have to dodge bullets.
DBF's itself. I never was good at supergrazing it, so the bonus is only 10M. I was thinking of safespotting the fourth wave, but was not unsure if I got the spot right so I just went downscreen and dodged. Cost me some hundreds of thousands, I think.
Ending bonus is 452M. I am content, happy and done. This run was a welcome experience. It's not good or anything, but it's a good start for me, at least. Far from pretty numbers, but it still feels good to break 1.1b in the stage for the first time. I'll be returning to this, Necrofantasia is an awesome song, I like PCB scoring and I like Yukari's boss battle. We'll see if I reach T's target with those conditions one day. Hopefully, I will.

-

Sometimes after runs I think what would it be like had I started scoring in 2009 or 2008. I think It'd be nice, having someone to compete against - and lose against -, someone to cease the feel of emptiness with the scoreboards. Maybe then I would not feel so lonely, bad, or late. Maybe I wouldn't need to visit the uploader daily, just looking for someone of my level who would care.

Oh well, that's a dream, and I have to work with the reality. Nothing too harsh, but dreams are nice at times.

-

Haha two scores in the same post it is starting again.

Decided to relook PCB Extra today, given how I had played Phantasm yesterday. SakuyaA still felt too scary (I'm haunted by that 997M), so I picked my new favourite shot, ReimuA. I've really liked playing her over normal, and Extra's not too bad on her either. - You just must remember a couple of places where shooting stuff down at instant is a bad idea.

I had a run that ended at 997M - again - today, but I felt like I could do better (that run timed out Ultimate Buddhist). Which meant that I wouldn't quit at 997, so I carried onwards. And onwards I got.

Extra - ReimuA
Seppo Hovi - 1,048,614,230 - C - 0.290% - Replay

Uhuh. This run was a bit more serious than the Phantasm one, but I still did not do any of the harder stuff, like timing out noncards or such. Or not restarting over a minor thing like missing a fairy, mistiming a border or mistiming attacks.
I handle the start of the stage pretty well, without much trouble. This obviously has to do with the fact that I am using a survival route for the starting portion. I've tried the bomb-timings a bit, but I still can't figure them out for the life of me. Memorizing according to the stage theme would be one thing, but it does not seem to work. Maybe my button-pressing is a bit too late/early, who knows.
Midboss Chen has not been giving me much trouble lately, since I'm pretty consistent with what I do with her. What I do is some minor grazing - unoptimal - on the first non and a tiny bit of grazing in the cards. Very unoptimal, but works for me. What happens during this run is that I mistime the first non, but it's not that much of an issue, so I carry on.
Up to Ran everything goes about as planned, I bomb the stage spam since my timing is too poor for the border on it. That's one thing that needs work. Entering the boss with 498k cherrymax. I've had better runs, but I've also had worse runs. I am okay with this. I also gain a border for Ran's first non, which boosts the cherrymax a bit. It also helps me to time the border correctly for the first spell, which unsurprisingly works rather well. I get to prolong the start of the card border a bit, and gain some extra graze with it. The spell bonus is a bit under 6m, since I don't know how the grazing in this works. Something to do with Ran's placements on the screen, I assume.
Everything goes rather well up to Charming Shit, the only card I actually milk is the third one, which nets me quite a nice spell bonus. No borders are missed, too, which is a good thing. I wouldn't want to miss one this early into the boss. During Charming Shit, however, I decide to be an idiot and run into a bubble while I'm completely on the clear. The card was giving me a good RNG, too. What a stupid way to fail.
One border is missed on the way to the sixth card, and I kind of mistime stuff during the sixth card, ending me up with only  27k Cherry. It means that another border is skipped, which is rather sad. Carrying on, however, the run has been quite good this far. Skipping yet another border at survival, but that's not too much anymore, only one batch of items remaining anyway. A few millions are lost, but I get to play safe.
Ending bonus is 439k. I'm happy.

I'm pretty happy about this one, glad to have done it. Now I can rest from touhou for the weekend and play that darn STGT game.

So I guess there's this thing called streaming where you can play in front of other people and speak through a mic which returns a voice you don't recognize.  As an extra this was played during a stream with attempts beginning at 1:10:40 and the full run not even kicking off until 1:28:43 (moral: don't run your head against the wall).  Plenty of pause abuse to go around (like during Flowery Soul).

Stuff went pretty well, to be honest. I haven't practiced the stage 5 borders much, but I think I did a bit better work than I usually do. At least I didn't have to break borders in order to gain the border for the post-midboss. Then again, I died several times in stage 4, so who knows. The bad stuff was in stages 4 and 6, in which I died six times. (Prism 1st, 3rd and 4th cards, Yuyuko's 1st and 4th cards, which killed me twice) Got the two-border thingy on Yuyuko's penultimate card, but it's pretty easy with MarisaA's cherrygain. I probably should learn some actual grazing for the final card, but I'm too lazy to figure out Hourglass and set savestates for it. Oh well, time will tell. I'm content with the most easymode stuff now, it's time to move onto Normal. I'll probably return to improve some of these later.

This was a rather happy one. I died a lot, and messed up a lot of stuff, but it certainly made sure that 1,5b would be within my reach. Decided to scrap the no-bombs condition at the stage 5 spam, since I didn't have a border, which lead into some extra bombs in stage 5. One being a bomb to the spam-fairies before Youmu, another being a panic-bomb to Youmu's final card. The latter bomb was horrifyingly bad, and it cost me 100k BpV entering to the stage 6 spam. Did some pretty cowardish stuff at Yuyuko and died to the third spell, which stalled down the score quite a bit.
Cherrymax records were broken at several points. Almost 1M. I'm thrilled.

Seppo Hovi - 1,517,860,510 - C - 0.103% - Replay

So, the barrier of 1,5b has been broken. I never believed that I would do it on normal, much less on SakuyaB, but seemingly I was wrong. Not for the first time, so I should've seen something completely unexpected coming. Maybe MarisaA or ReimuB would be easier, I don't really know. I use the ones I like, and Marisa is too fast anyway.

This run. I've been learning some better grazing tricks for the stage 1, so I gain a bit more graze. It's not really affecting my cherry, but Sakuya is being Sakuya and I'm gaining a lot of that as well. This run is doing so good so far until I die to Letty's second non, which is not that bad of a death. It just makes my stage 2 a bit more shabby, but that's fixable. I only lose like 1m from it anyway, most likely less. The bad thing is that it throws me off a bit and I instantly get the border too early for the final card of stage 1. Not that bad, since I don't do mad badass supergrazing, but it still cleaves my cherrymax quite a bit. 237-238k would be what my current SakuyaB stage 1 is capable of, 240k would be nice, but I'd need to get lucky and play well. Or learn a better route.
The death in the stage 1 reflects in my stage 2 so that I will get a border a bit late, meaning that I have to shoot some fairies during it. It costs me one cherryitem this time, maybe two. I didn't really look. I also could use the border immunity frame for surpassing the red waves and doing the blues a bit more certainly optimal way, but it's not usable this time due to the timing being a bit off. A few seconds can do wonders in this game. Rest of the stage goes fine, apart from one mistiming at Chen, costing me a few hundreds of cherry. I'm pretty consistent with my route, but that's because of my route is quite easy. I graze Chen's second card a bit, but only a bit. I've made a promise to myself that I'll handle it with a border one day, in the correct way.
Stage 3 starting with a rather low cherrymax, due to the fact that I failed in stage 1. 304k would be what I'm aiming at when entering the stage. Everything goes fine (apart from being unoptimal with the midboss supergrazes. I haven't learned the routes that well yet, so I'm still practicing. And I will not start learning the second midboss appearance border until I get some other shit down. It seems too scary, maybe it is not. Who knows. I'm having a good time with the stage, maybe gathering some point-items under the PoC, until I get devastated by boss Alice. First of all, I kill her first non at the wrong point, not gaining those six cherryitems that would give me the border for her first card. Great work over there, me. So, one border less, been there before. Dying to Alice's second card, been there before. Carrying on. Nothing else to see here. Some interesting stuff with the latter cards, I have no idea what I'm planning. Maybe I'm not, just shooting at things and calming down. Pausing would be a must, I'd have to figure stuff out and it'd take a while.
PCB stage 4. This thing is like another Extra, just as T said a while ago, when I tried to get him play it on ReimuA. A lot of tricks, a lot of stuff to fail. I start the stage with rather interesting numbers, so I get to do some thinking for the first border. I decide to graze with it a bit, and that saves me a bit. Only a bit, though. I'm about 10k to 15k cherrymax behind my target, which can be fixed by not having major fuckups during stage 4. Stuff goes well and I gather a lot of point items below the PoC. HS does some pretty cool stuff for the waves before midboss Lily, but I'd really need to practice for that and I'm too lazy to create a savestate for it. I can only get Hourglass to work on my secondary computer, anyway. After midboss Lily, I actually don't fuck up everything this time. I just break one border at the wrong point (or maybe I have too low cherryitem value from having failed a card) and I miss the blues for the second border. Everything else goes okay, apart from missing some fairies - again - and I get to enter the Prismriver battle with [url=http://i.imgur.com/5RKsq.png]540k Cherrymax, which is pretty good for me. Now, I could either do the first non manly, unfocused, to gain some extra borders. Or I could pussy out and shoot Merlin focused, and time the border for the notes instead. Being the little girl I am, I pick the latter one. Then I die to the second non, which I probably should have done anyway. Maybe.  I actually capture the spell, with really unoptimal grazing. I'm scared. Now, I am looking at my cherry and all of those point items, and thinking of what should I do. I decide to try to cancel the first wave of bullets with the max-power and see if that'd give me a border. Unfortunately my masterplan fails when I pick the big point-item too early, so I get to do the border-grazing without any nifty, special wavehugging. At the bottom. The next great thing is how I Die to Lyrica's solo card. Fucking awesome, man. Which of course is not enough,since Lunasa want's some love and so do I, so we run into each other. That hurts me, sadly. Now, I get the border for the Prism Concerto, do some unoptimal stuff, and I'm too jumpy from the deaths, again, so I just shoot at stuff to calm down. The bad thing here is that I should not be shooting unfocused during the second card, but focused, to gain a border for the spam-portion of stage 5.
So I start stage 5 with only 13k Cherry+, and I think everyone knows what that leads into. It leads into this, which lowers my cherrymax by 120k. Thankfully, I'm only gaining a lot of point-items with the low cherrymax, so I only lose a lot of points. Nobody cares about scoring, right? The next mistake is an actual miscalculation. I'm thinking with too large values, and I idiotically drop one cherryitem, resulting in a bit low cherrymax. Well, I'll be still gaining the border for the nice blue bullets of the non (or not), I just have to break it since I'm too scared to actually play with low values and see if they'd be enough. More experience brings more confidence, I guess. I need to level up some day. I could be a man and use bombs and border breaks during boss Youmu, and actually time the borders correctly. Instead, I do this. Survival border, I'm the worst. At least it didn't break. I was scared for a while, almost failed the card. I hope that won't be visible in the run. Well, other than that the Youmu is okay. Until I meet the final card. This image has green circles where I could dodge, and red box where I should not dodge. What the fuck am I doing, do I have no brains or something? At least the bullets are at something like 30fps so I could micrododge just fine, but of course I must fail that as well. Did I really handle this stage without missing while pacifying, during a full run and with no rescources? I could use those dodging skills sometimes when I'm scoring, I need to bring them with me next time.
Stage 6 starts with a bit low point-item value. I do gain the border for the spam, though, so I won't lose everything. Again, at midboss Youmu I could do some cool stuff and time borders better. Instead of that, I go for a good, safe border with no bullets on the screen to graze or cancel. I'm the worst, at times. Next up, not doing anything optimally and then, missing a border, in order to gain a border for the point-item drops without unfocusing stuff. I'm being too scared again. I suck in stage 6. And I really can't do the third card. I mean, really. What's that bonus, man? I don't even handle the pussymode correctly. Great. Oh hey, Repository. At least I didn't die. I did end it two waves too early, though. Cool. I shoot fully focused during the penultimate card. Thankfully, T is not around so he doesn't get to tell me how disgusting that is. It's a bit shameful, but I'm just too scared to even try the multi-border unfocusing thing. Then, I graze Reflowering a bit less than usually, but I still get a 20M spell bonus. It's a Sakuya thing, again. 194M ending bonus, it's time to dance a bit.

All in all, I'm happy. It's not pretty or great, but it matters to me. I'm not feeling bad about this one, I guess it's something. And I reached something I've wanted to reach. Targets will grow bigger, I will grow better. Eventually, hopefully, likely or unlikely. Whatever. Time will tell.

I'm sorry.
