Title: Touhou Accomplishments - Unlucky 13th?

Don't be silly, there's no luck in shmups. Post hard-earned victories here, and let's see if we can't subvert that myth.

All using Border (cheese) team, Lunatic difficulty Imperishable Nights.

No-miss no-bomb stage 1 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16868)
No-miss no-bomb stage 2 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16867)
No-miss one-bomb stage 3 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16859)
No-miss no-bomb stage 4B (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16886)
No-miss no-bomb stage 5 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16842)
No-miss stage 6B (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16866)

With some simple scoring route.

Note :
I can't nmnb Kaguya. It's too hard.
I don't want to nmnb 4A and 6A. It's irrelevant.
I don't want to redo stage 3. I'm lazy.

DS 12-6 and Futari stage 2's infamous invisible jellyfish would like a word with you.

DS 12-6 is more a bug than luck (if I'm remembering the right one), and the jellyfish isn't invisible, it's hiding, and it's always aiming at you anyways so a laser will do the trick. BV

PSM Capture. This card isn't as hard as you guys made it out to be originally.

Also I'm so determined to make UFO my first Lunatic 1cc, and also to 1cc it before doing so on Hard.
Title: Re: Touhou Accomplishments - Unlucky 13th?
Post by: nintendonut888 on November 11, 2011, 11:59:41 PM
DS 12-6

You know, people talk about that scene like it's an insurmountable challenge, but that bug never kills me after the second shot.

Anyway, let's simplify the big list:

All Touhous lunatic 1cc (PC-98 included).

All spell cards in the main shooters captured on lunatic.

All stages beaten on lunatic without dying (not counting PC-98 because no stage practice).

All bosses perfected on lunatic except for Yumeko, Shinki, EX Alice, Remilia, Yukari, Byakuren and Mamizou.

Also I think I'm giving up on getting serious about Remilia. The mere thought is so...distasteful. Even if I pull it off (and I'm confident it will happen sooner or later), the amount of time and anguish would not be made up for with victory. I...do not desire it.

Don't give up donut, we're rooting for you (or at the very least, I am)  :)

I just got a perfect of Shou on normal...but accidentally didn't save the replay.  I could probably do it again since I can do everything she has consistently as long as I read the lasers right.  Funny thing about this run, I died right before Shou and had 3.67 power going into the battle, then missed a few power items after the first spell leaving me at 3.97 for the second nonspell and spell.

My previous attempt was really close too, I went through a gap as it was closing but misjudged it with less health remaining than my no focus video of Shou on my channel and ended up 1DNBing Shou again.
Title: Re: Touhou Accomplishments - Unlucky 13th?
Post by: Kliff on November 12, 2011, 12:23:31 AM
To summarize, my accomplishments number:

Normal clears of all main Touhou games - including 1CCs of Dimensional Dream and Flower View.

Lunatic clear of Highly Responsive to Prayers, Hell Route.  Because let's face it, Konngara's easier.

Extra clears of EoSD and PCB, Phantasm clear of PCB, Prismriver Sisters unlocked in Flower View.

Final cards captured: Resurrection Butterfly, Hourai Elixir, Mountain of Faith, Flying Fantastica.

(Edit: Although I've captured the individual parts of End of Imperishable Night in Spellcard Practice, I won't exactly call that an accomplishment until I've captured the full sweep in-game.)

Post by: Rook on November 12, 2011, 12:41:15 AM
I've been away for so long that I've forgotten what my achievements are.

PCB Lunatic 1cc
SA, MoF Normal 1cc
PCB Extra clear

I should probably get around to making a decent shot at SA's hard difficulty; otherwise, this will continue to look like just a feat of luck and resource management.
Title: Re: Touhou Accomplishments - Unlucky 13th?
Post by: chirpy13 on November 12, 2011, 12:51:08 AM
Right right, big lists :V

Touhou:

Extras for 4-11 and 13 cleared
Pacifist Ran (bombs allowed)
90FPS PCB Extra
No Bomb PCB/LLS Extra
Various minor achievements (challenge runs, spell caps, etc)
Nothing notable for 1/8.5/12.3/12.5

Other shooting games:

It may not be as much as some people can pull off, but I'm slowly chipping away at the bigger things as I go along.  Hopefully I'll get that EoSD Lunatic soon...

perfect endboss Marisa, leaving me with 3 normal bosses to go: Kaguya, Utsuho and Byakuren.
I got Final Spark that run of Marisa too, so there's no arguing about whether it's a perfect.

So I'm relearning the scoring path for SA Stage 4 Lunatic. Progress is slow, especially from a consistency standpoint, but it's there. Unfortunately I'm forced to deviate from the actual path because of different Power levels in Practice Mode, but I'm still able to do most of the main things normally. Now if only I wasn't so freaking rusty at Satori's Recollection cards...

Obligatory list time (all on Lunatic unless specified):

EoSD: Lunatic 1cc, Stages 1, 2, 3, Extra perfected
PCB: Lunatic 1cc, all Stages perfected
IN: Lunatic 1cc, Stages 1, 2, 3, 4B, 5 perfected, Extra no-missed, all Spellcards captured
StB: 85/85 Scenes cleared
MoF: Lunatic 1cc, all Stages perfected, VoWG perfect time-out
SA: Lunatic 1cc (standard and no-bombs with ReimuA), all Stages perfected
UFO: Lunatic 1cc, Stages 1, 2, 3, 4, Extra perfected
DS: 108/108 (Aya) and 99/99 (Hatate) Scenes cleared
GFW: Lunatic 1cc (all six Routes), Extra cleared
TD: Lunatic 1cc, Stages 1, 2 perfected, Extra cleared

Another thread, huh?
Was there ever any doubt? :V
Title: Re: Touhou Accomplishments - Unlucky 13th?
Post by: Skyler on November 12, 2011, 02:47:10 AM
Just posting a small list, nothing new on here.
EoSD Hard 1cc with Reimu A
PCB Phantasm cleared with both Reimu and Sakuya A and B
Perfect PCB stage 3 & Alice normal
Third EoSD Extra clear with Marisa B, leaving only Reimu A to go.
All spell cards in EoSD stage 4 captured.
Yuyuko, no deaths.
Title: Re: Touhou Accomplishments - Unlucky 13th?
Post by: Elysia on November 12, 2011, 03:05:08 AM
Let's see...

PCB: No-bombs clear on Normal (but with borders broken), Hard clear, Extra no-miss clear, Extra no-focus clear with MarisaA, Phantasm clear with all shot types, Phantasm no-miss clear
IN: No-focus no-miss no-bombs clear on Easy with Sakuya, Extra no-miss clear, Extra clear with all shot types, Fujiyama Volcano timeout, Everlasting Phoenix Tail timeout, Lunatic Red Eyes timeout
StB: All scenes from stages 1-9 clear (yes, including Seamless Ceiling), scenes EX-4, EX-5, and EX-8 clear
MoF: No-bombs clear on Normal, no-miss clear on Normal, Kanako perfected on Normal and Misayama Shrine Hunting Ritual timeout in that same run, Hard clear, Extra no-miss clear
SA: Easy no-miss clear, Normal clear with all shot types, Extra clear
TD: Normal clear with 3/4 shot types (screw you Youmu), Hard clear, Extra clear, Seiga perfected on Normal, Futo perfected on Normal, Rainy Iwafune no-focus no-vertical timeout, Pseudo-Exorcism of the Stupid Shrine Maiden no-focus timeout

Probably left out a few things, mainly Normal perfect stages (have the first two stages from all games listed above but those barely count, the only unlisted one from a later stage I actually remember is PCB Alice but I don't consider that a big achievement).

So in recent news: I just managed to capture Boundary between Wave and Particle in Shoot the Bullet. I also went back to previous scenes and cleared up all the ones where Aya said "I can't get a good article with just these", as well as capturing everything I was missing from stages 1-9.

Really, I need to work on stage 10. I have a whopping two stage 10 scenes clear. So my capture rate on stage 10 is worse than it is on extra. Go me. ::)

Post by: The Greatest Dog on November 12, 2011, 03:15:09 AM

I went back and tried Ten Desires Extra at Normal speed.

I almost 1LC'd it, with only three~ bombs, but I died to Mamizou's last spell.
But I made my first capture of her survival.
Title: Re: Touhou Accomplishments - Unlucky 13th?
Post by: J.O.B on November 12, 2011, 03:46:36 AM
StB Extra unlocked!!!
Also, Kinkaku-Ji just really requires lots of luck. I've had many attempts end at the last phase because they walled me in. I got lucky enough earlier that they didn't so I was able to cap it.
And I've capped 4 scenes on stage 10.
Title: Re: Touhou Accomplishments - Unlucky 13th?
Post by: Zil on November 12, 2011, 03:58:09 AM
Just finished off stage 11 in DS. Only three stage 12 scenes to go and I've perfected StB and DS.
Title: Re: Touhou Accomplishments - Unlucky 13th?
Post by: Aba Matindesu! on November 12, 2011, 04:35:39 AM
All bosses perfected on lunatic except for Yumeko, Shinki, EX Alice, Remilia, Yukari, Byakuren and Mamizou.
But EX-Alice, Yukari and Mamizou don't have Lunatic diffs. (unless you count Ultra)

Anyway, I'm sure I've cleared everyone on Hard in Match Mode with Medicine. (lol cheese) Gonna try it again later.
Title: Re: Touhou Accomplishments - Unlucky 13th?
Post by: nintendonut888 on November 12, 2011, 06:04:35 AM
I...

I think I did it.

Did I...just perfect Remilia? I'm honestly not sure because no record remains of it. It's possible I may have lost a life based on the end-of-stage score, on Sakuya or during the fight. But...there's no logical reason I would be feeling like I just went into labor if that were the case.

...

I think it's safe to say I did it.

I beat her...

I beat her...!

I

PERFECTED

REMILIA

SCARLET

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! YES. YES. YES. YEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! <333333333

EDIT: (http://i41.tinypic.com/2l9vt.jpg)

I'm a bit confused myself because the score indicates I should have gotten an extend. So, either I died on the stage (I vaguely recall goofing off, though that could be any of the two dozen attempts I did today), or the spell card capture bonus and bullet clear bonus (the screen was packed) make up for that discrepency. It is most likely the latter, because I don't recall hearing the extend sound a third time.

 I...kind of regret not having a replay to show for my efforts. Still, I could not care less. :) Believe it...or not.

EDIT 2: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16900

A drug-crazed no bombs attempt at EoSD lunatic that made it all the way to Scarlet Meister, and may have cleared if it weren't for a few ugly mistakes earlier in the run. This is the kind of freaky play level I have reached tonight that allowed the above accomplishment to be possible. @_@ I don't think I'll ever have such an amazing run of EoSD again even with bombs.

Very nice Donut! Good job!

Shame you don't have a replay though.

Also not sure what you're talking about there not being replays for EoSD practice, as there  are. (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=9984.0)

(not counting PC-98 because no stage practice).

Not anymore. Hop to it.  BV

WHAT?!

Why do you wait until now to tell me this? :fail:

...How does it work though? It seems to be looking for something, but I can't even guess at what.

EDIT: I just figured out how the lives and bombs ended up as they did, for anyone curious. I must have gotten clipped by one of the fairies and lost a life (this happened many times that night, mostly because I didn't care). To rack up points, I bombed the last fairy waves and got an extra life. Then I bombed Eternal Meek, which had me enter Remilia 2/2. I got the 20 million extend like normal, but capturing Scarlet Meister gave me an extend (which I probably wouldn't notice because I was high on adrenaline). Finishing off Scarlet Gensokyo would give me a huge point bonus and end me up at 4/2, peace of mind achieved. \o/

How am I now so confident?

...I made it up to Scarlet Gensokyo again in an attempt to reconstruct what happened. :P

I think I heard whispers about that replay patch some time ago, but I never really heard any updates on it being completed, specifically. Not that it matters for me anyway, since I don't play EoSD anymore.

A new best on UFO Stage 6 Lunatic, perfected everything up to Superhuman (though the fact that I died there in the first place is cringe-worthy, and of course I botched LFS too). I've reverted back to "Krim-style" streaming for the second nonspell though, since I really don't want to deal with the lasers at all.

VoWG, UBS and SFN timeouts.

List is done I guess.

After reading Donut's theory of Scarlet Meister, I opened up EoSD to see if the same idea applies to Scarlet Shoot. After a couple of derp-induced restarts, I came up with two things:

1. I think it's the same general idea (it worked for the first wave, but I moved the wrong way on the second and had to bomb)
2. I got my first Red Magic capture. That's finally all of Remilia's cards captured on Normal :D

TD would be easiest if not for the insane lack of resources.

Now for achievements in chronological order. Kind of unimpressive but still ok for two months from starting off or something like that.

EoSD Normal 1cc
PCB Normal 1cc
IN Normal 1cc
MoF Normal 1cc
PoFV Normal 1cc (lol)
UFO Normal 1cc
SA Normal 1cc (this one took a while)
TD Normal 1cc

Aaaand recently:

MoF Extra 1cc (a few days ago?)
UFO Extra 1cc (yesterday?)
PCB Extra 1cc (today, holy hell i didn't think i'd get this so fast)

Flandre or Mamizou are likely next in line. Mokou is a pest and I didn't even reach Koishi yet. Seriously, screw EX-Sanae.

'Grats, Donut. Perfecting a hard boss is the best thing ever.

While it doesn't compare, I just captured Rain in the Underworld Journey and Cleansed Crystal Judgment. I know the last one probably doesn't seem like much, but inexplicably I have 512 pictures taken on it. That card has mocked me for so long, and it's just great to get that out of the way. :3

It's achievement list time again? Once again, not much has changed since last time. Main new things are EoSD Extra perfect and some high speed clears.

EoSD: Hard 1cc, Extra perfect
PCB: Lunatic 1cc, Phantasm 90fps clear
IN: Lunatic no focus 1cc, Lunatic 75fps 1cc, Extra 1lc, Extra 90fps clear, all spell cards captured
MoF: Lunatic 1cc, Normal 1lc, Extra perfect, Extra 90fps clear, all spell cards captured

UFO: Lunatic 1cc, Extra perfect, all spell cards captured
FW: Normal 1cc all routes, Extra clear
TD: Normal 1cc, Extra clear

PoFV: Lunatic 1cc (Aya, Shiki), Extra clear (Komachi, Shiki)
StB: 68/85 scenes

Yeah, TD is weird that way.  While any player who is consistent at a lunatic level should be able to do it in their sleep, and effectively find it easier than anything else in the series, games like PCB are probably the easiest for the less awesome players because you can just pick a Sakuya shot and bomb/border break through everything for a free clear so long as you don't die with bombs in stock.  In that sense, I actually think PCB Ultra is easier than normal PCB because of the autobomb.
Title: Re: Touhou Accomplishments - Unlucky 13th?
Post by: I have no name on November 13, 2011, 02:33:06 AM
Might as well post the full list, categorized by type:

lunatic 1ccs:
EoSD, PCB, IN, PoFV, MoF (all with max lives, although PCB wouldn't have needed them if I didn't derp Lyrica, and IN had 2 to spare, shots used were ReimuA, SakuyaA, Youmu&Yuyuko, Aya and ReimuB)
hard 1ccs:
every windows game (SA w/ ReimuA, UFO w/ SanaeB, GFW A1, TD with Reimu), no focus hard on PCB and IN with ReimuB and Yukari respectively

boss perfects:
hard Alice, a couple assorted lunatic stage 1 and 2 bosses, every normal boss except for Kaguya, Utsuho and Byakuren (yes Zengeku, this does include Shou)
PC-98:
SoEW normal 1cc, LLS normal 1cc both with and without focus, MS normal 1cc

Woohoo, grats on that perfect, pastry!

In that sense, I actually think PCB Ultra is easier than normal PCB because of the autobomb.
Ditto here, except it's with TD.

Anyway, EoSD Hard re-cleared, this time with MarisaA! Replay here. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16914)

Post by: Zil on November 13, 2011, 05:58:20 AM
Well if we're doing "lists" here... sorry about my repeated posting  :V

SoEW Extra Clear - no doubletapping
PoDD Hard 1cc
LLS Lunatic 1cc
MS Lunatic 1cc, No-Bombs Extra as Reimu
EoSD Lunatic 1cc, No-Focus Extra and Hard 1cc
PCB Lunatic 1cc, No-Focus Phantasm and Hard 1cc
IN All Last Words Captured, No-Focus Reimu Solo Extra, All Extra Spells No-Focus Timeouts (including Imperishable Shooting)
PoFV Beat Hard AI as Cirno, cleared Extra as Cirno
MoF Lunatic 1cc, VoWG Timeout...so close... nevermind that, I got it
SA Lunatic 1cc, No-Focus Normal 1cc (I actually captured Subterranean Sun :D (or whatever it's called on Normal))
UFO No-UFOs No-Bombs Extra Clear
Fairy Wars All Routes Hard 1cced
TD All Overdrives Timed Out, made Futo look silly
StB and DS Everything captured as Aya (and like one spell as Hatate)
Every Extra Stage cleared

Note on TD - I wouldn't say there's a lack of resources if you trance at the right times. Compared to SA and UFO maybe, but those games just THROW resources at you.

There's definitely enough resources in 10D when I can pull six manual trances in the Extra stage at 90FPS.

I'm pretty sure I bombed, died to, or tranced every possible thing and still wasted two bombs because of a death to Mamizou's first card.

Alright, lists. Let's see:

HRtP Hard 1cc Jigoku route
SoEW Hard 1cc all shot types
PoDD Normal 1cc with Reimu (I think, haven't played this one in a while)
LLS Normal 1cc all shot types
MS Normal 1cc all shot types (haven't played these two enough either to hard 1cc)
Haven't cleared their extras either :derp:

EoSD Hard 1cc with ReimuA and MarisaA
EoSD Extra clear with ReimuB
PCB Hard 1cc SakuyaA
PCB Extra Clear All shot types
Phantasm Clear SakuyaA, SakuyaB, MarisaA, can't remember for Reimu's. Cleared a billion times cause easy.
IN Normal 1cc all shot pairs (pffft, single characters)
IN Extra clear all shot pairs
PoFV Normal 1cc Aya (haven't played much here either)
StB Levels 1 - 8 All clear
MoF Normal 1cc all shot types
MoF Extra clear ReimuA
SA Normal 1cc ReimuA (I hate this game's difficulty and patterns, apparently)
UFO Normal 1cc ReimuA, ReimuB, SanaeA (UFO mechanics: pfffffffffft)
DS......... I'm doing StB first :V
GFW Easy clears on routes A1, A2, B1, B2 (pfffft, GFW, not quite used to it yet, and lack of playing)
TD Easy 1cc all shot types (because I haven't bothered with it much for some reason, sue me D:)

IaMP Lunatic 1cc Suika
SWR Lunatic 1cc Patchouli
Hisoutensoku Easy 1cc all 3 characters (haven't played much lately cause IaMP greatness, and freakin Utsuho's spell cards)

Looks like I have some stuff to clear. I don't care as much for the later danmaku games compared to the older ones, but I still love playing them. You can clearly see this. :derp:

Uhhh...
I...guess I just 1cced GFW hard route A2?
I died to Luna in stage 1, then 3 times to Lily Black stage 2, then to Sunny's Stage 2 opener, giving me 0 lives and 0 bombs going into Prism Flash.
I perfected the rest of Sunny, used 3 bombs on the stage portion of 3, and got up to 6 lives going into Fairy Overdrive, which I died 3 times to before dying twice to Three Fairies, clearing with 2 lives to spare.

81/85 scenes clear. And all the ones that mocked me for ages are finally done. TAKE THAT KOMACHI!

So...very...close...

EDIT: 82/85 now! And let's add a perfect Orin on Normal and a timeout of Needle Mountain, just because I can. (Though those weren't in the same run.) And a second clear of SA Extra, this time with ReimuC, to boot.

Dragon's Necklace....how I hate this card.
However, in Spell Practice I captured it 3 out of the last 5 times I faced it.
Then came actual attempts at Kaguya again.
Failed Dragon's Necklace twice...THEN CAPTURED IT
then the second nonspell fell, as did Buddha' Stone Bowl after trying to wall me.  The third nonspell followed shortly after, and Fire Rat's Robe was another easy capture.  The 4th nonspell had some close calls, but it failed to end my run.  Swallow's Cowrie Shell played nice with me, and then I messed up my Rainbow Danmaku strategy...but still captured it.
I got it.  I got a perfect Kaguya battle.  Only Okuu and Byakuren remain.

1ccing IN, EoSD and MoF with every shottype(and SA with ReimuC and MarisaC /PCB with SakuyaA and -B).

I even captured Flying Fantastica, which absolutely destroyed me everytime before.  :D

Mine is not impressing list at all.....
Normal 1cc:
PCB, MoF, IN, working on EoSD (ONE MORE SPARE BOMB AND I CAN BEAT IT)
All Remiu homing, except IN which i beat with both border team and youmu solo.

Easy 1cc:
All windows games. All characters.

Extra 1cc:
MoF, IN. Both took 1 week to complete, with reimu.

P.S. i decided not to mess around with SA or UFO, as much as i want to try Koishi or Nue. As for TD, since i play on a mac using crossover, TD does not work on crossover (for now). I do play on my friend's computer occasionally, and i've gotten to stage 5 boss (forgot name) on my third try normal.

I got so close to beating PCB Easy. I used all my continues and almost beat Yuyuko's last spellcard. I was so amazed that I got up to stage 4 without using a continue. I was so lucky that I managed to dodge to the left blindly and lucked through all the waves during Yuyuko's first card. But damn, I was so close, but I still consider this an accomplishment anyway.

Oh yeah I might also mention that this was at 180fps :V


EDIT: I just did a 180fps run of IN Easy. Cue me no-deathing the first 3 stages. And also getting a capture of Earth in a Pot. I ended with a 3cc (2 continues).

GJ. I wanted to join for that challenge a few weeks ago, but was on a trip so I didn't have a computer with touhou anywhere. My old no bomb clear of MoF extra was super derpy and had 2 deaths in the stage portion since I didn't know how to deal with it without bombs.

Yeah, mine was pretty bad too. While I technically didn't die in the stage portion, there was one point where I really should have, except for the world's luckiest dodge. (Seriously, going right through a wall of small circle bullets?) Except that I proceeded to die at Suwako's first nonspell. Which I normally get without bombing anyway. DERP

Anyway, I proceeded to head back to MoF, to play through easy mode with only my two index fingers. In practice it was sort of like a pseudo no-focus run, though I did focus at a few points, despite how that meant I couldn't shoot. I never realized how ridiculous Kanako's fourth spell is on easy mode, I don't know if I could capture that thing even playing normally. I need to try that now...

EDIT: Done. Holy crap that card has some insane micrododging. Capped Mountain of Faith -Easy- too.

I finally got a new laptop charger, allowing me to play Touhou again on my laptop after about maybe two weeks. Getting used to the desktop screen size kinda screwed up my skills on the laptop, but I think I've more or less got it back now.

No deaths on TD Extra until Mamizou's 5th nonspell (I really need to get used to these nonspells) and game over at Wild Deserted Island. I then proceeded to go to spell practice and Capture Wild Deserted Island. Also got to Descent of Izuna Gongen again but didn't clear a second time due to a lot of screw ups, especially Ultimate Buddhist.

So I took another look at PondeSuika's method for supergrazing the first two "post-asteroids" great-fairies in SA Stage 1. Why haven't I been doing it like this before? It feels so much easier supergrazing on the left side like he does compared to the right. Almost needless to say, I performed it perfectly on my first two tries. Also, replaying the scoring paths for other stages, I feel like I'm getting more consistent at quite a few parts, which is obviously very important.

Great work there. After only ten months? Jeez you might run out of challenges.

Did some cleaning up and cleared B1-C2 Hard to finally unlock GFW Extra. Pretty nice boss I guess, but more importantly I can finally dodge while listening to Magus Night.

I've tried the Border team.

I suck with them. I really do. I hate Yukari's speed, it's too slow for me, and the range dosen't back up the speed. Same reason why I hate the Magic team. With the Netherworld Team, at least it has stupid range when focused so you don't have to dodge as many bullets in the first place, and the Scarlet team... well... Remilla's focused speed is fast enough for me to dodge with her, instead of being limited to streaming due to being so awfully slow.

Anyway, I'm making even more progress! I got past Reimu on 1CC for the first time today. I'm finally figureing out her spellcards. [Although I messed up on her final spell, the random white bullets probobly would have screwed me over anyway at some point]

I feel I did pretty well on Stage 5 too, although, looking on the replay, I actually didn't need either of those bombs against Twei <_<

Here's the replay, and yeah, I derped in a few places, but the good Reimu fight makes up for it, IMO.

I don't see what you mean honestly. If you need to speed up just unfocus. Likewise for hitting far away enemies. Reimu's homing amulets effectively have unlimited range. Even as Yukari Ran can do decent damage even if you aren't under the boss.

That's kind of the basic idea behind focusing - normally it focuses your shot into a narrower range in order to deal more damage. Obviously there are exceptions, but if you ask me the Border Team isn't really any worse than the Netherworld Team at tackling this game's stage portions (except maybe Stage 3, but even then the difference isn't that great). Reimu's homing amulets can really make stages easier once you learn where all the enemies are, which of course comes with time. Don't forget that Yukari has homing herself, and you don't have to be directly under your target to get that set up. And if anything, a slower focused speed actually makes it easier to pull off precision dodging without accidentally slamming into stuff (not too apparent on Normal just yet, but start playing higher difficulties, where the bullets are much denser, and I guarantee you'll want it).

Here's the replay, and yeah, I derped in a few places, but the good Reimu fight makes up for it, IMO.

Might I give a critique or two? I notice you're doing a lot of unfocused dodging, and it cost you in a couple places when you accidentally ran into bullets you could've dodged while focused. Don't be afraid to go into focused mode so that you can safely slip through patterns. Until you can 1cc whatever mode you're working on, I wouldn't worry too much about score-based stuff (that's what it looked like you were doing to me). It seems like you have a basic understanding of how Remilia's familiars work, though you didn't always take advantage of it (practice will help you get more comfortable with it). Remilia's bomb also does the most damage when you're sitting right on top of your target, so once you get that going, make sure you stay on top until it runs out. Keep it up though, you're getting close to the 1cc.

Further overdrive timeouts of:
Yuyuko (in the cheap way, hugging one side of the screen), Yoshika, Soga, Futo (without doing damage to her though, might do that another time [Youmu is too annoying for that]), Miko


Two more left (Mamizou and Kyouko).

Two more left (Mamizou and Kyouko).
Mamizou's is the most fun, but Kyouku's took me more tries than Seiga's. I never hear anyone else complain about it though, so really, you've nearly done it. ;)
Title: Re: Touhou Accomplishments - Unlucky 13th?
Post by: Zengeku on November 21, 2011, 10:57:29 AM
Mamizou's Overdrive is indeed fun. It is different from other cards though since you have to dodge things coming from two sides at once. Most stuff in Touhou comes from one direction which makes it easy to dodge it while thinking of completely unrelated matters but this one... let's just say that the slightest distraction means death!!

Speaking of which, I was able to avoid distraction so I got it in 3 attempts today. Yay!

EDIT: Okay, Yoshika's down too. That was pretty cool too. Lotsa bullets. Much easier on the brain than Wild Carpet although I actually had to spent more attempts on it in this sitting. It is easier though, no doubt about that. I feel that the majority of mistakes comes from me looking *HAHA, you spawn bullets there, I'll just move over here, and somehow keep moving to the area with the most bullets coming from the broadest variety of angles and then i'm like; uh... yeah.*

EDIT 2:

And Yuyuko's Overdrive is down too. Corner strategy and all. Seriously, trying to read the pattern in the middle would give me a migraine and I really don't desire that. That means that I only miss Kyouko and Seiga's now. I predict that Kyouko's is going to be annoying but at least its not retarded.

Post by: qno2 on November 21, 2011, 11:57:46 AM
Timeout of Kyouko's overdrive - done. Got lucky that she decided to rarely spam/spawn bullets from the middle, giving me the opportunity to dodge one side in relative peace. Still annoying, didn't even know what I was doing for half the time, "just kinda grazing". And the smug smile in her cutin-picture seemed to say "u mad bro?" every time I tried this.

Just one more.

IMO Seiga's overdrive is the only hard one.
I got Mamizou's and Kyouko's on my first try. Yoshika took me a bit longer, and so did Yuyuko (but I'm a man, I did it in the middle).
This is talking about captures of course, not timeouts.
Title: Re: Touhou Accomplishments - Unlucky 13th?
Post by: Zengeku on November 21, 2011, 05:42:35 PM
Finally got Kyouko's one. I wanted to quit several times doing this that obsessive compulsion of mine forced me to keep at it. I got sick of the music so I ended up muting the computer and I don't know if it helped me with my concentration or not but I actually managed to pull it off shortly after.

How many attempts overall? 173 attempts. That's a hell of a lot more attempts than it took me to timeout VoWG and its certainly up there with things like SFN and UBS although not anywhere near as fun to work on... Now, only Seiga is left. I dread this one.

And that's it, timeout on all overdrives.Now could someone remind me why I decided to do all this with Youmu anyway? Would've loved Reimu's smaller hitbox.
Guess mankind will never know. (why am I so stubborn? why?!)
Mamizou's was really fun, kinda didn't expect it to be honest (didn't seem that great when I went for the capture).

I would upload a few replays but I'm getting an error message whenever I try to upload a TD spellpractice-replay (just tried a normal TD stage-replay and that worked just fine) but I guess it doesn't matter anyway. Somebody else just uploaded an overdrive so it might be a problem on my side, who knows.

Don't know what I'll do next, maybe GFW Extra or finally try my luck with SA hard.
Quote from: Zengeku
Now, only Seiga is left. I dread this one.
It took me around 30 tries to capture it with Reimu. 1100 to time it out with Youmu.

... yeah. But I'm not great at danmaku (and especially inconsistent) and was sometimes pretty tired while playing this ("good tries" are still around 500) so you'll probably have less problems with this (those semi-homing lasers... it's amazing how precise they are).

HA!! Done it! Seiga Kaku's Overdrive is timed out. 110 attempts approximately. I can't believe that took less attempts than Kyouko or Mamizou (although I'm fairly certain that most of my attempts at Mamizou was done in a state of drowsiness) but I won't complain. I guess that means all Overdrives are timed out. Two days ago I didn't expect to ever get this done because of my outrageous laziness but imagine how quickly things can get done when I finally decide I want to do it!

That is satisfying.

Because we both know Youmu is epic.

On that note, solo Youmu and solo Yuyuko IN extra stage clears, because why not.
Fun facts about these runs: Youmu scored higher, died 1 more time, bombed 1 more time, captured one less spell card and did not see Imperishable Shooting.  The Yuyuko run would have captured the rings of death had I been using Yukari O.O

The hardest part of IN Easy at 180 fps is Marisa, I always get to her with 5 lives (starting with default) and I beat her with 1 left. I had another shot at it and got to stage 6 before continuing this time, I swear this is definitely possible.

Made a cooler looking timeout of Futo's Overdrive. In the beginning of the card, I don't shoot and wait for initial part of the attack to blow over and for the circling to begin. This is when I start shooting until the final phase kicks in and then I time the rest out. This way I could get a timeout that had the the read n' dodge amulet hell after the circling but without too much of the 'passing through walls part' at the end. I did have to dodge through a few walls though.

Messed around with TD a bit and managed to time out Youkai Orb of Unknown Mechanics.

That was harder than I thought it would be. Never even noticed Nue shooting extra orbs until now. That spell gets ridiculous toward the end.

Also managed to get timeouts of Tojiko's attack on Hard and Mamizou's first card, though those aren't as notable.

Perfect Stage 1, 2, and, surpriseingly, 3, with the Visionary Scarlet team in Imperishable Night normal mode. First time captureing Three Sacred Treasures: Orb, and Future: God's Realm.

Then I went and threw it all away on Stage 4. Which is weird, because I can normally beat Reimu. I really derped on her nonspells.

Since I'm waiting on Jaimers to reveal the big sexy secret behind BoLaD before getting serious with Yukari, I decided to finally set up savestates to start going after Yumeko and Shinki.

...Ignoring those horrific failures, I have learned some things about something I was hoping I'd get a chance to research: The Shinki bug. You know, the one where out of nowhere you die before the fight starts? It just so happens it happened on the savestate I have.

I still don't know what causes the bug, but I have learned that:

Contrary to popular belief, shooting at Shinki has nothing to do with whether she kills you or not. Neither does shotgunning her at the start.

When this bug activates, nearly anywhere you stand in the field will kill you. There is one bizarre exception: At the point where I was when the dialogue ends (about where you default to when the stage begins), if I dash left and hit the wall, I won't die. It is only this very specific spot that I am safe - moving up or down the slightest amount will result in a death. Even moving right in the same way will kill me.

I have savestates beforehand, so inevitably I'll get a chance to see if there's a way to prevent the bug from happening. Until then...~

Didn't you know? All the stage 4 bosses have a gimmick. Aya's is getting more difficult. :] Seriously though, no memorization to speak of. <3

The way I see the Stage 4 bosses [EOSD onwards], they change their spells depending on character OR have a survival card. [Murasa and Aya].

This makes TD an oddball, but the fight itself borders on survival cards anyway due to a certain previous boss getting in your way...

Anyway, I got bored of the same old same old, so I went and took on EoSD Extra for the sake of it.

I actually got to Flandre. Died on Levaitinn or however it's spelt.

It's also probobly the one time a character outright smashes the fourth wall...

Also, solo Remilia and solo Alice IN extra clears, just have Reimu, Marisa and Sakuya to go.  Not looking forward to 2 of these...

How did I...
4 tries later (two first spell chokes, one fail at the curvy laser spell), I got it.  I got a perfect Byakuren battle.  That's it.  Every single normal difficulty boss in a whole numbered Windows Touhou game perfect.  Best part is, that's 2 consecutive captures of Flying Fantastica, when before today I'd never captured it before!  I got better when I wasn't looking it seems, or maybe I just do better on holidays?  Either way, BYAKUREN PERFECT YEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! :getdown: BV :getdown:

Wow, that's absolutely wonderful. Congrats to you, man. :derp:

Marisa's out of the way, and aside from Xu Fu's Dimension and PbP, it went remarkably well.
Which leaves the weak shot types.  I'm not sure which'll be worse, Sakuya or Reimu.

EDIT: Well, that was a disaster, didn't even capture Hourai Doll with Sakuya.  Ah well, a clear's a clear-and I'm dodging 5+ seconds of the rings of death every run due to not having bombs for it.

I got better when I wasn't looking, that's really the only way to put it right now.

First, ReimuB 2D2B run of MoF extra, when one of the bombs was between Suwa War and Mishaguji-sama (got spell card bonuses for each).  Next, I broke a half a billion on MoF extra with ReimuA, and I would have had 750-800 million if I didn't die twice to Suwa War.
Finally, just now I had a crazy run of IN extra with Border Team, NDNBing until a double KO on the 5th nonspell (which may have cost me the HMD spell bonus), capturing 10 spells (robbed on HMD though I think, because I only missed Phoenix Tail and Fujiyama Volcano), dying only once AND nearly capturing Imperishable Shooting IN STAGE (failed at the 7th wave)

So...what crazy thing I thought was above my skill level but did anyway will I do next?

One of those rare instances where I'll perfect a boss without worrying about the stage portion at all. Because unless I can figure out some way to make the end of the stage portion remotely doable without bombing or Trancing, I won't give myself a heart attack trying to make this any better.

Welp, I just tried killing the great-fairy in that section first-thing and ended up surviving it all. Didn't get past Futo's first card that run though.

I still don't feel like going for that full run, nor for any other stage. It's kinda sad, but for me at least, TD is turning out to have a similar "feel" to IN (as in, none of the danmaku really motivates me to sit down and get more comfortable with it), and I really, really wish this wasn't the case.

Timeout of Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=17182) Yuyuko vs. Yuyuko, nobody wins.

I was just praying from the bottom of my heart near the end there. "Please nearly-invisible bullets... miss me!" My hands were shaking for a few minutes after it was done...

This was definitely above my league, but I did this for a reason: A timeout of this card was one of the first things I saw related to Touhou gameplay. Now I did it myself, kinda satisfactory (though it took a lot ... especially sanity).

I won't do another timeout for a while: I want to feel competent again.

edit: ah yes, GFW Extra clear. Guess there's no helping it, either SA hard or IN lunatic are next in line.

Quote from: Zil
and it scared me away.

In retrospect: Wise choice. I was close to giving up a lot of times (when it's not a mistake on my part or a completely normal hit, it's getting walled in by a certain brand of bullet, the latter always applies just before the end  [insert raaaaaage here]).

Then again you might have an easier time with this. I was always bad at this spell, including the original in PCB.

@Zengeku: Is there actually a reliable way to deal with those red butterfly-bullets that are underneath the wall of blue and violet? Since I can barely see them even when they're close I can't see how I could plan ahead and take a safe route. I don't mind it at the beginning or the ones that are in the layer above but getting hit (preferably walled in with more than just one) by something that's nearly invisible thanks to the sprites (... honestly, this whole deal reminded me of Kyouko's overdrive...) + it happening right at the end (multiple times) kinda drained my motivation.

I don't think there is much you can do to make it easier. Pay attention to where the red butterflies are as they are usually the only thing that's really dangerous on those waves. I found myself capable of reading and dodging them pretty consistently everytime. Not that I didn't fuck it up at times but most of my deaths where to the fast red barrages. You shouldn't be concerned with planning ahead and taking safe routes. On those particular waves, the blue and purple bullets are pretty unthreatening. Thus you can adjust your position within that 'tunnel' to avoid the red butterflies. I'm not sure if its entirely clear what I mean from this post but its my best attempt at explaining. :)

Post by: ふねん1 on November 28, 2011, 10:51:23 PM
Congrats on that time-out dude.

I can probably chime in on SFN too. I also don't like how those red butterflies keep hiding behind the rest - since they're clearly supposed to be more dangerous than the ones traveling in simple vertical trajectories (assuming you're right under Yuyuko, of course), them being concealed like that kinda falls under bad design, I think. I know that might sound a bit nitpicky, especially since the spell is still good practice overall for Resurrection Butterfly, but that's just my take on it.

Yeah, never planned myself, was busy trying to integrate visual information on where the tunnel is (which is why I assumed that this was my mistake).

Quote from: Zengeku
Pay attention to where the red butterflies are as they are usually the only thing that's really dangerous on those waves.

Personally, that's was my problem. Later on I have incredible difficulty to just see them (and yes, I looked for them). Sometimes I got hit and I didn't even know that one of those was creeping up on me. The decreasing size of the tunnel doesn't make it easier to react to the ones I actually spotted before they hit me.

Quote from: Zengeku
Not that I didn't fuck it up at times but most of my deaths where to the fast red barrages.
Funny that, I fell more and more victim to singular red bullets as it went on while the fast red barrage just seemed like little extra.
Well, in the past I jokingly called myself the "bullet seeker, if there is just one bullet on the screen I might hit it!". Guess my true nature reappeared.


... oh well, glad it's done.

Definitely agreed. The last few waves are just a huge pile of sprites overlapping each other and with some luck you might see one (or more, they love teaming up on you) that's heading straight for you. If not - oh well, you 'just' need to go through the whole card again.

Considering that ZUN dropped one part of the pattern at about 30 seconds left (the blue/violet bullets accompanying the red fast barrage) he probably should've dropped the bullets in hiding instead. Way less aggravating and keeping the fast pace of the rest of the card.
That always felt weird and seemed like a bug when I got that far the first time.

I believe that's the game reaching a sort of "bullet limit", where only a certain number of bullets can be on screen at once. I don't know for sure.

I'm not going to start working on it until I'm comfortable with no-focus mode though, of course. I need to get better at regular dodging too.

I've given this a couple of shots, (a couple of being around 200, and do belive me, that's a little amount with that card for me) but actually micrododgin' this card with Youmu solo's insane speed makes the portions after 60sec really flawless shit. It's doable, yes. But it's far beyond my limits, even tho' I have some experience with IN and Youmu solo's nofocus playing.

So yeah. I can give it a few more tries and try to actually get past 40sec, but, uhh.. I can't promise I'll make it, since I'm not even near to the level of the sick pro's around here.

Gave it 50 tries at school.

This is my best so far, around 30 deaths to first two waves.

SO CLOSE!

Stage 1: Everything went according to plan. I can usually tell it'll be a good run when I capture Hermit.
Stage 2: Went well, besides the derpy/boxed in deathbomb on Song of the Night Sparrow
Stage 3: I fail at Orb, as my result score shows. In realistic terms, this was a brilliant Keine run.
Stage 4: Best fight against Reimu ever. I did have a derpdeath on her 2nd non-spell, and -Spread- is BS as usual, and I failed Evil Sealing but I captured her 4th Spell for the first time ever, and almost timed out Blink...

Stage 5: Aside from the derpy death against the first bunny [I'm 50/50 on it's pattern] and being too slow to bomb against Tewi, this was an average Stage 5 for me. I've not figured out Reisen yet, although I almost captured Full Moon.

Stage 6: Ugk, how did I die twice to the mobs? If I hadn't derped like that, I might have made it. Still, for my first 1CC attempt at Stage 6, it could have gone worse. Captureing Game of Life was a sweetner for the bitter pill of failing the run.

It does show the capture rate of the score.dat of the user watching the replay, so I'd see my capture rate on it.  Keine's Last Spell is pretty easy on normal.

I decided to no focus pacifist some Stage 4's for some reason, ended up getting a perfect stage portion of UFO Stage 4 and a 1 death stage portion of SA Stage 4 (metal bullet wedged in the laser gap), and timed out Terrifying Hypnotism AND Flying Insect's Nest successfully.

and now I got 30 seconds of Aya's first sell successfully survived no focus, and also did TD Stage 4.  3 nonspells were NDNB, the other I messed around on.  Perfect timeout of the first boss card and almost got the midboss card and last one except derp.

EoSD Reimu B Hard 1cc. That's Hard mode cleared with all characters!
I really thought I was screwed; I entered the 6th stage 2/3 and got to Remilia 2/2. Used both bombs on her opener. Die to her first spell. Cheese second nonspell by going above her. Bomb to her 3rd card. Bomb & death to her fourth. Use one bomb on her last nonspell, two to Scarlet Meister and...Scarlet Gensokyo capture. I like how that was the only card I captured in that stage.

Hmm, dunno where to post this, but does anyone know what determines whether Stage 6 Nue leaves a point item trail upon leaving the screen? It's nothing to do with capturing the pattern.

Also, since this is an achievement thread, new personal best for SA Extra -- Got up to Embers of Love...

You have to be at full Power at some point during Nue's "exit" sequence in order to get the Point item drops. Ideally you'll want to enter the midboss at full, but if you're not you can also collect the Full Power item she drops and she will then start dropping Point items too.

I was just spontaneously clearing SA Normal when I realize I'm perfecting Utsuho around halfway through. And that means first-ever captures of the first, second AND fourth spellcard, along with no bombs on the non-spells. And of course, I had to derp it with a death on her final, which was my only miss, but this is a personal achievement nonetheless.

Ha ha ha, yeah. Double points for being TAS'd AND acting condescending towards others while TASing.

That's a really terrible attitude in general, I prefer friendly competition!

On a related note, UFO Stage 5 Lunatic unlocked for Practice, all that's left is adjusting my Stage 5 strategies for Lunatic. Fun run, UFO's played me like a fool on more than one occasion, though, + I let a total of two bombs go to waste by not picking them up.
Didn't make it to Byakuren, unfortunately, since I wanted to have a look at her opener to assess whether I'm likely to use a bomb or not, but I guess I'll find out when I'm seriously battling her.

It means I've been playing Touhou for four years now! :dragonforce: I must say, when I first started that MoF demo back in 2007, I had no idea I would be inducted into such a crazy community. Yet, I wouldn't trade any of my time here for the world. Through Touhou, I've found something I truly excel at, and discovered this site, where I've made many friends and learned many things about myself and others. The big shots told me I would lose interest, but after four years my passion burns just as brightly. :D

Here's to another year!

Eurgh, just for spell practice I use a fully unlocked score.dat my friend gave me from his copy of IN (making sure to keep my old one for afterwards) and while I do attempt the Lunatic spells, I just realised I have captured over 50% of them! Not having attempted Lunatic in story and gotten past mystia before dying completely, I was happy. Of course, that 1/50 to 1/300 capture is embarrassing.
Astronomical Entombing I did my own practice in my own file for Easy and Normal.
And I finally figure dout the trick to prevent being bullet swarmed~kill Eirin's familiars (I use Youmu/Yuyu or Reimu/Yukari mostly and Reimu seems to have more trouble with it). It seems it nets me those extra 4 seconds I need to kill her before being destroyed.

And as far as 1ccs go, while I still suck at Touhou really badly, I am finally able to effortlessly 1cc all IN scenarios on Easy, and Normal with Border team (haven't tried others so far).

-Easy 1cc all IN, Normal 1cc Reimu/Yukari
-Easy 1cc MoF, Reimu-Needle
-Easy 1cc SA, Reimu-A, Marisa-A
-Easy '1cc' EoSD, Marisa-A (pfft, this doesn't count)
-Easy 1cc MS, LLS

Added to my old achievements.
If it weren't for my need to use Sakuya-B in PCB and hence fight Trolomerlin, I'd probably have this one too. As stated before I have a 10 D 1cc too but I cannot get it in Normal because I crash into fairies collecting scarce resources. The spells aren't even hard, but asdfghjkl!

A very good Nue run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=17211)

This was completely spontaneous, so the stage / UFO usage wasn't ideal. Other than that, I capture most of the spellcards. If I recall correctly, here are the faults:

*One semi-intentional bomb during the stage. One stupid death during the stage.
*One death on double rainbow UFOs. Guess I was getting cocky.
*THREE HORRIBLE DERPS on the survival card. I think I was... going... too fast? I honestly don't know. It's like business as usual and SUDDENLY, THREE DEATHS. And this is sad because I proceed to survive the latter part of the spell for the first time.
*Two bombs on the final card. I only wanted to get the clear at this point.

Dear god... if not for those derps, I mean, I capture ALL the cards before it minus bs rainbows. An accomplishment, but dang. :@

E: I bomb at Nue's "hard non-spell" too. Meh.

Congratulations with it. Good luck with EoSD. :)

As for myself, as mentioned in the rage thread I actually managed to get Astronomical Entombing down to 7 seconds and that was a run that could very well have succeeded if I wasn't that damn exhausted at the time. I'm satisfied with this for now. I have to be. Grinding a spell in spell practice can get brutally repetitive. My final verdict on it is that SFN is a goddamn pushover in comparison. AE apparently just hits all of my weak spots at once. Its a fun spell but it wears me out because its timer is so long. I'll probably one day come back and get a real timeout. You can have this one for now Zil.

Should I mention I've timed out Astronomical Entombing more than once? :ohdear: I did it as training for the one time I would ever reach it in a full perfect attempt.

Though you probably know this if you've seriously tried to time it out, you can predict where the bullets are coming from by the single bubble bullet Eirin fires; that bullet serves as an "activator" that causes all familiars to fire. It's not near as bad as Apollo 13 once you have this fact down.

Yeah well, I have known that for years but that fact isn't worth anything to me. The bullets dictate where I can go, and they are random. Seemingly both in their trajectory and numbers.

In comparison to Astronomical Entombing, I'd say that Apollo 13 is outright trivial. We are talking about dodging from only one direction, there are tricks to simplify the dodging, there is a safe spot, the bullets are fewer and a lot slower. I can't think of any possible way this card could be harder than Astronomical Entombing.

Its of course a subjective matter. Different people have trouble with different things. However, with Apollo 13 I find that the difficulty comes from reading the pattern. Astronomical Entombing, from being at the right spot at the right time. And I always. Always. End up being right next to the familiars when they shoot their load. It never fails.

You can't be serious! Unless I'm horribly mistaken, Apollo 13 is a static cakewalk. I just went and timed it out to make sure and it only took me 30 tries, having been entirely unfamiliar with the pattern beforehand.
In any event, I agree with Zengeku about Astronomical Entombing being harder than SFN. It took me less tries, but I think my brain was just scrambled when I was doing SFN.

EDIT: I will say that the trick to AE seemed to be keeping Eirin in the middle, and going near the bottom of the screen as little as possible. In fact, it seemed sometimes like the waves got MORE dense as I tried to back away from them, so standing my ground in the center of the screen helped me avoid getting walled.

I thought so. Also, just timed it out in 15 attempts myself. I have some experience with it however but I still needed a few runs to get familiar with the pattern again.

Post by: nintendonut888 on December 01, 2011, 05:38:55 PM
Hmph, well, just goes to show that we all have different strengths and weaknesses. Apollo 13 shut down over two dozen perfect attempts that reached that far, and to this day I don't have a reliable way to handle the first wave (which is undoubtedly the hardest part of the card since there's no place where its barrage is lighter than the rest). the pattern itself is static, but where it's aimed is random, and unless I were to gain superhuman levels of perception, I can't figure out a way to discern where the easier parts of the pattern are. If you get stuck dodging on the thicker part of the pattern, you're pretty much screwed. On the other hand, Astronomical Entombing is pretty bland to me.  :wat:

death to the popcorn fairy at the end because derp, 1 death to Kanako's opener when I have always always always bombed it (Kefit's no bomb lunatic 1cc dies twice there, although I got lucky), Capture everything from the first spell through the 3rd nonspell, die once to Yamato Torus (almost capture), ace the 4th nonspell, capture Source of Rains before dying 3 times to VoWG, but knocking off 2/3 of the health first.

capture Source of Rains
Yeah, this was the most shocking part.  I haven't even captured the hard version of this.

Also, I decided to play SA Hard on a whim. While I didn't come close to a clear (I badly underestimated Yuugi and Satori), how about perfecting Parsee on Hard on my very first try, during a 1CC attempt? Is she really that easy, or is that an achievement?

A new batch of replays for Double Spoiler Ultra is up for those who are interested. I think i performed well on quite a few on them. Also, don't mind that the music and the scenes appear in seemingly random order. Because it is random. I was a little too lazy to properly structure it but it doesn't really matter right? This one covers a lot of scenes, like 30-40, from levels 4-11.

UFO Lunatic 1cc with ReimuA because I didn't want SanaeBroken as my only character. Even though she's not broken, just effective.
Honestly, I didn't expect to clear at all and I am still surprised that I did because the run was all sorts of bad. Died twice on Ichirin. On the 2nd and 3rd card. Succesfully pull off PSM safespot only to be stupid and clip an umbrella. Which is really bloody stupid, you'd think I'd be able to dodge a single projectile moving slowly around but apparently not. Murasa, two miss. One on that Sinkable Vortex. It felt pretty stupid but i did get into some hairy situations with it so its not unexpected. 3rd card murdered me by first forcing me to bomb with an impossible wave and then murdering me with an impossible wave.

I somehow won though. Its the kind of run that you really don't think would suceed but you push on anyway. And that's why you don't restart.

EDIT:
Upon looking at the replay I realize that there were several much uglier deaths. Like, Stage 4 was handled like total garbage. I get myself killed because I'm not properly focusing on the threat of the bullets in the second half of the stage and I mess up the UFO chaining really bad. Stage 5 has one of the most saddest deaths I've ever seen and in Stage 3 I fuck up the bloody circling at the end. I think it says something about Touhou that I was able to clear despite all this.  :V

Then I perfected up to the survival cards.  So what do I do?
CHOKE.
Death with 2 seconds left on Red Frog, double KO on Suwa War and two deaths to Mishaguji-sama, a spell I usually capture.
All of this combined kept me from breaking half a billion with ReimuB.At least I'm consistent at everything (aside form the stage) up to Froggy Braves the Elements...

Flandre clear. ABOUT FRIGGIN' TIME.

It's funny because I -accidentally- started the run when trying to perfect Stage 6 consecutive times. I went "what the hell, let's go" and had a silly thought that it might be fate. Guess it was...

I think I managed to clear it because of how I slowly but surely got better at MoL. This run featured a capture of that, a possibly first capture of couterclock, a capture of the blue bubbles thing and some others, AND a possibly first-ever perfect ex-patchy. Faults I can remember (maybe all of them) include a death to the death fairy, a late-stage bomb, two bombs on cranberry trap (-_-), stupid death on Kagome Kagome, a bomb on starbow break, a stupid death + insurance bomb on her survival and then a death + two bombs on QED. Not a pretty run, but hell, I managed to clear anyway.

Also, captured Satori's first spell and Flying Insect's nest for the first time (DBDB is still really BS though).

I managed to capture no-focus? ILLUSIONARY DOMINANCE.
I did that too.
On hard mode  BV
NFNB was something I was considering trying actually, although for PCB and not MoF.  I'm not suicidal.

EDIT: What how did I get Aya's 1st and 2nd nonspells in the same run as her first spell and dodge 3 waves of her second and double KO her 3rd nonspell what is this I don't even

DOUBLE EDIT: Phantasm Ultra was...surprisingly easy.  Died once to the stage, and once to Yukari, cleared with 5 lives in stock.  7 captures.

It's hard to say really. I love Seiga's dagger spam, but the lasers are just wall happy. It's like ZUN took a great spell and an annoying spell and combined them. It would be better with more daggers and less lasers. Not as bad as her overdrive, and certainly better than Kyouku's.

Well...I almost got it...
Captured Red Frog in a perfect run of the stage, then double derped Suwa War.  Both deaths were my fault completely, not even random luck bullshit keeping me from it.  Then I captured Mishaguji-sama.

So, 2DNB MoF extra run.  Should have been 1DNB, or even NDNB.

So I have now had the obligatory Suwa War choke, on only my second attempt at Suwako.  This shouldn't take long at all since I have Froggy Braves the Elements down.

Captured Syllable Stabs, Miracle Fruit (easy spell is easy), Danmaku Paranoia, Id, Youkai Polygraph and didn't time out Genetics or Subterranean Rose.

Failed a few times at TD Extra, decide to try Hard just for kicks. No-death the entire game up to Miko. Die to her first non-spell (went up through a gap to dodge a wave and quickly went down, hitting a bullet in that same wave >.>) and Guze Flash. Replay's here (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=17314). Hooray first Hard 1cc ever!

P.S. Is it just me or is Seiga harder than Futo? I only bombed Futo's last spell a few seconds before it was to end because I was paranoid of dying >.>

Oh yeah, also, I got the parallel ending when I finished, but I haven't cleared Extra yet. That's not supposed to happen, right?

Futo is a testament to simplicity. Seiga's pretty easy too, but she is harder. And congrats on nearly no-deathing the game. I nearly no-deathed MoF on Hard, but I died to Mad Dance on Medoteko of all things.

So I just managed to beat Koishi with ReimuB again, only this time with a really cold room which meant shaking fingers almost the whole time. And no, that wasn't intentional. Sometimes I get REALLY into Touhou. :V

Also, is it just me or is timing out Subterranean Rose easier than actually facing it? Because that's what I wound up doing, from going into it with no lives 4 bombs, and not even needing to use any of those bombs.

Well well well, that was pretty easy actually.
Magic Team lunatic 1cc, complete with 2 derp deaths to the same nonspell (with bombs in stock!), and a life at the clear.  and I timed out Hourai Jewel, and used one bomb on Kaguya's first 7 attacks.

Futo is a testament to simplicity. Seiga's pretty easy too, but she is harder.

I'd say that Futo has a tough spellcard while Seiga has nothing like it. But really, its like discussing who's the easiest between Reisen and Sanae.

EDIT: I died clumsily against VoWG but then I pacified the rest of the attack flawlessly. Which was like 2 minutes or 110 seconds or something like that. A shame about that lameass death. Could've been a second timeout of the card but whatever, i have done one before so it doesn't matter. Also, 99/99 capture on Yamato Torus looks fucking pro.

Made it to stage 5 of MoF hard, with my previous best being only to midboss Nitori. Even capped Sanae's midboss card (first time seeing it), only to game over to her second boss noncard. What.

But, after that, nearly got a 1LC of MoF Normal. Died rather stupidly near the end of Aya's last card.

Tried Lunatic UFO again. This time I didn't die till boss Kogasa's last card. I did much better throught the rest of the stages.
Then Murasa came and murdered me. I entered her with 2-3 lives and came out 0/0.
But luckily I had 3/4 pieces for both bombs and lives so I got another one of each and managed to make it to Boss Shou's first card. I almost captured it but died at the last second.
tl;dr I'm not really getting anywhere :V

I tried out TD Extra No Horizontal, and it occured to me that Mamizou (apart from her non-spells) is like made for no horizontal. I think it might be possible to if not beat the stage at least get pretty far. I got to fourth non-spell, but that was with spending way too much resources on the stage, which (apart from Nue) can be NDNB as far as I can tell.

The last spell is impossible no horizontal, and so is the last nonspell (2 bombs) and Shrine Maiden (1B1T), forcing a capture of the survival to have still no trance for the final spell.  This doesn't exactly seem feasible if you think about the end.

No, but from normal runs with Reimu I know the final nonspell takes 2 bombs if you bombspam it, and for Shrine Maiden that was a guess, it would probably take more than that but I don't know.

Well, almost just cleared LLS extra on my second ever attempt at it.  Got to the phase with the pellet walls and the bouncing 'metal' bullets.
Perfect orb midboss, some 290 million score.  I can conceivably clear this stage.

It certainly feels like I'm getting better at some parts of Eirin. Had another attempt (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=17390) where I captured Omoikane's Brain and Apollo 13 in the same run, plus a Hourai Elixir capture, which is always nice. I've also been having trouble with Game of Rising lately, strange as it may seem, so capturing that too is restoring a bit of confidence (along with me switching back to Border Team instead of using Youmu).

Oh man, this is beyond frustrating. And a unique kind of frustration that I haven't feel before but its something that I was able to calm down from surprisingly fast. Wait, I actually know this feeling. Its incredibly familiar to back when I lost my No-bombs attempt ((the run was a 1-miss only up to the Stage 5 boss). in MoF because Sanae had to be a douche and kill me five times. However the fuck that happened.

Today as I wanted to unlock Stage 6 with SanaeA, which i apparently hadn't done, i made it to Byakuren with 6 lives without using continues. And I still lost the run by dying three times with bombs in stock to LFO. Man... i hate overconfidence. It never wins.

But as with that failed no-bombs attempt I put it here since I still consider it an accomplishment that I was able to get to Byakuren with 6 lives. As far as I'm concerned, its better than my first two 1cc's of this game.

So I manage to beat Flandre in less than 10 attempts (here defining an "attempt" as "getting as far as Flandre", though, since I restart a lot.)

And on this run where I pull it off, how many spell card bonuses do I acquire? ONE. And I finish three bombs to spare. And that's despite bombing one of Flandre's nonspells.

Why is Flandre considered a hard EX boss, again? Mamizou and Koishi were much harder. And don't even get me started on Nue.

Wow damn, I still haven't beaten her after many more tries. Probably due to wasted bombs.

I agree that Koishi and Mamizou are definitely harder. But Nue? Nue's probably the easiest boss if not for the stage and midboss.

And Flandre gives really few resources

Yeah, Nue's the only Ex Boss I've managed to perfect so far, so she's pretty easy I'd say. (Though Mokou and Suwako are easier.) It doesn't stop her from being the most fun though.
On a related note, just managed a 3 death run of Fairy Wars extra. If I had bombed intelligently, it could've been no deaths. Much better than my original though, which had over 10 or something.

But I can just beat her all the time while with Flandre I've only defeated her like 5 times since I first unlocked the stage which was...like 7 months ago? Freaking stage.
Anyway I managed to unlock Yukari again after having to re-install PCB (screwed some of the stuff up in the folder, this proves I suck at computers) and I think I've managed to work out the safespot for BoLaD. Maybe. I'll need some practice on this one.

More TD extra no horizontal, reached non-spell after frolicking animals after using the maxed trance to clear that card, 3 pieces way from another extend and generally wasting a ton of resources due to not being chill enough. Captured amphibian danmaku but tranced the carnivorous danmaku card.

Ran is quite easy, but I found Yukari even easier (in fact she's the easiest bonus boss for me). Unilateral Contact can be trivialized if you move to where the crystal bullets are moving almost vertically. Her survival just requires a lot of focus (which I don't have because IT'S SO SLOW). Her final attack also has a safe spot similar to Border of Life and Death.

For the Border of Life and Death safespot, minimizing your movement near the beginning will make the safespot more apparent.

I have to ask... are you counting the HRtP bosses in this list? I'm not saying you should if you aren't, but I'm wondering if you've actually perfected those things.

I have to ask... are you counting the HRtP bosses in this list? I'm not saying you should if you aren't, but I'm wondering if you've actually perfected those things.

I wouldn't group them together, since my aim is to perfect every boss in the standard shmups (discounting Fairy Wars too), but, in fact, I've done them anyway. >:D I even have all of them perfected on camera and in video form on my channel. For example! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjXWLdZn550)

Anyway good luck with Alice. I think she's the hardest Ex boss.

By the way, EX Alice perfect. :dragonforce:

Two bosses left...I'm torn between feeling giddy that my ultimate goal of the series is so close at hand, and horrified that now I have to turn my attention to Mamizou and especially Byakuren. Byakuren is truly me saving the worst for last. T_T I only hope I can resist throwing away my entire winter break into this ordeal.

Just did random run and got SA Hard 1cc with Reimu A
Compared to lunatic, everything is so nice and slow... wow.
However, unexpected multiple derp deaths (like dying to Orin midboss opener) in Stage 5 led me to enter stage 6 with only 1 life,
but that doesn't matter cuz I still cleared.

My first SA hard 1cc had only 2/5 of a life going into Stage 6-and it was a blind run of the stage  :V
I'm dreading SA lunatic a lot more now...maybe I should switch my main shot type to ReimuC so I can bomb everything.

I am now strangely consistent at Asteroid Belt, and also Double Spark, and I'm consistent at Event Horizon again.  Figures I failed Stardust Typhoon (I usually capture it) and also Shoot the Moon of all things, then almost captured Final Master Spark too that run.  Perfect lunatic Stage 4B possible for me?  Probably not because I suck at Marisa's nonspells, but maybe I should go for it...

Not like they're really accomplishments, lol. I'm not even going to list the score because I don't remember and they're probably bad anyway.

Congratulations! Touhou 11 is a hard game, without a doubt.
I did manage to get past Stage 4 and Satori on my second attempt at Hard Difficulty; IIRC the game ended somewhere around halfway through Stage 5. I haven't touched the game since, but you just might be what gets me to play the game again (if I can get it to work properly on my new computer, dammit).

Two extra bosses down in a days time. Congratulations with that. That means only Byakuren is left for you. If you could handle Remilia then you ought to be able to handle Byak as well. :)

I'll pray that you get lucky and take her down quickly. I couldn't wish prolonged exposure to that stage for my worst enemy.

How did you do it? Conventional method where you circle around Flandre, or BS static dodging method, where you dodge through the narrow gaps in the "maze walls"? If you did the conventional way, then major props to you. I certainly wouldn't have the patience to master that. (Watching someone capture it the BS way is quite amusing to watch, though.)

Maze of Love, the normal method is easier I think.
There's a very specific set of movements that will work every time if you go through the bullet walls. If you can remember these (which I haven't been able to on any run so far) and can make precise movements, the BS method might be easier.

As for me, it is easier because I just can't hold my focus or patience to keep spinning around in circles for that long.

Since I 1cced SA easy at 120 FPS, I haven't felt like playing extra.
Until now.  Due to the bug, ReimuA extra was relocked.  So I went to unlock it.  and broke 500 million for SA normal while I was at it.
perfect Stages 1, 2 and 4, derp death to one of Yuugi's nonspells prevented perfect Stage 3 too.
Stage 5 had a death to Orin's last card, embarrassing in how it happened too... BUT 1CC ATTEMPT CAT'S WALK 2 POWER CAPTURE (because bomb Orin's midboss nonspells for graze), and no death Stage 6.  Ended with OVER 9000 graze and (9) lives.

Much easier. Even if you've memorized the "BS" method, doing it normally is still easier. You just move in circles, while the other way requires extreme precision.

Okay, just pulled my very first 1DNB of Byakuren (death was on Purple Omen, who knew). I kinda wish that death did not happen, but...it feels good to know I'm making some progress. Kind of. I really want it to be over, but I'll take what I can get at the moment.

Edit: I just did it again, with the same results. It hit me this time that I should save a 1DNB for critique purposes, so here it is:

Any tips on how to not be a total spaz improving my technique would be appreciated.

The replay has been watched and really... You die on the only no-tricks-involved-at-all pure dodgem spell card. Her last card for example, even though it's a dodgem, has some minor tricks here and there than you can use to make the card a little easier... But Purple Omen is not aimed at your position in any way, all the waves are offset by random angles and her movement is pretty much non-manipulable in any useful way, since horizantal movement doesn't affect anything and you have no control over her vertical movement. The best possible advice I can give is to watch for open paths between the droplet bullets and try to stay in them, and the glowy orbs sorta kinda but not really repeat a bit in the middle of a wave, so try not to get caught offguard.

...Honestly, all I can say is "get better at reading and dodging the bullets," hopefully via practicing spell cards or attacks where you don't rely on tricks to make them easier to dodge. Sorry for not having any useful advice. Your run looks solid otherwise, but sometimes it was difficult to tell how in control you were since you got unreasonably close to some bullets  (as in would probably die if you were Marisa/Sanae) during her fourth non card as well as her last two spell cards. I can't really tell if you would've made a better dodging decision if you weren't confident in your hitbox size though, so I can't pass any sort of useful judgement.

Alternatively, you can not try to get better at all and just brute force spam the stage until either the RNG gives you some nice pathways between the bullets and you essentially have to dodge nothing or you just luckshit through the card. But you didn't hear this tactic from me, okay?

Dunno. I did just fine clearing lunatic with ReimuA. Maybe I'll try ReimuC later.
The main thing was figuring out how to reliably go through stage 5 without massive bleeding of resources (ReimuA bomb is not as strong as ReimuC, so lots of things can literally eat you alive if you are not familiar with them). Okuu is also hit and miss - she often kills me extremely fast (just die a few times in her first 2 spells and the whole run is kinda doomed, or like me, derp multiple times to Subterranean Sun in one of my failed runs), so either figure out how to reliably do the attacks or simply stall and bomb.
Lots of work was also put into stages 3 and 4 - unless you become good at stage 5 and 6, you can't rly afford to lose more than 2 lives lol.

So I attempted EoSD extra again, feeling like I can get a better clear. My clear had only 1 capture (lol safespotting Laevateinn), while I've captured much harder cards on failed runs (hello Starbow Break, Kagome Kagome, and Four of a Kind).

I stupidly bomb the death fairy, then I go, ah well, run failed, might as well bomb Silent Selene twice just so I won't be able to panicbomb Royal Flare and maybe I'll actually learn it. I proceed to freaking capture Royal Flare, and then to my stunned disbelief, capture Philosopher's Stone immediately afterward. I have never once caught either of those prior to this run. And then I proceed to dodge the books and Cranberry Trap in ways that just had to be seen to be believed.

Fell apart later on and didn't get the clear, but damn was that an epic two minutes or so.

Just did almost the same thing, except I also captured Silene Selence and my captures of Royal Flare and Philosopher's Stone were not my first (but they were extremely rare). Not sure about the death fairy and the books.

While playing EoSD normal i've managed to capture all cards except Marionette. Princess Undine is hard, but i've gaptured it several times in runs and practice.

P.S.: or you mean Recollection "Princess Undine"? I never encountered that one.

I meant the normal Princess Undine, which reminds me I forgot all about Satori's non-ReimuA Recollection cards, gotta capture those too.

My capture of Marionette was one of the most insane things I've done in Touhou. It was in a wonderful run that turned to shit on Stage 5 (FIVE DEATHS), that I only saved a replay of because of a freak Marionette capture. I still don't know how I did it, but the replay is here: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15838

Also, wanted to clear MoF normal on ReimuC for practice mode (to get nice scores and get used to the shot type for an all characters 1cc). The run turns into a 1cc, though barely (mainly due to not bombing much as this wasn't an intended 1cc). I did get a capture of Grey Thaumaturgy and Crossroads of Heaven though :)

Thanks!

I played ReimuA, 1 bomb each to Colorful Rain and Extreme Color Typhoon (I' m beginning to get the hang of it, though)
Stage 4 was good, died only on Rage Trilithon High Level. In stage 5 I died once to every boss spellcard, but managed the nonspells at least.
I somehow got focused through Eternal Meek, normally I tend to try it unfocused. Remilia went... not so good, clipdeath on the opener (these damn bubbles :V),
died on scarlet shoot and red magic, but it's ok because I practiced Remilia not as much as Sakuya and Patchy.

My hands were shaking after the ending, because I couldn't believe my computer decided to not screw it up with a BSoD, like the two times before I got to remilia, with a decent amount of lifes^^
I love that about Touhou, it's so damn exciting if you 1cc a new game or difficulty for the first time .

Same happens to me every time I fight her for the first time in a while. Something about it just seems to cause derp. Congrats for the 1cc!

Finally got the 1cc of SA hard.
Finally I didn't die to Utsuho's last pixel of health.

Strangely enough it wasn't even a good run, especially stage 4 was just bad playing.

- one death to Yuugi (just had to be her last spellcard)
- 2 deaths to stage 4 (+ a lot of bombs trying to get back into the groove)
- one to Satori (... so four more deaths than usual up until this point)

- one to Orin as stage 5 midboss (her opener, not Cat's Steps - captured that one out of spite)
- one to Orin as boss (last spellcard... a lot of bombs were involved in this fight so this was the end of the line, whatever works I guess)
- one to Orin as stage 6 midboss (oh how I love to get hit while the spell is dissolving, own fault to drop my guard I guess)
- Utsuho's second and last non-spell (*sigh*)


Glad I didn't restart the game, was so close to do that after stage 4.

Concerning just 1ccing hard mode, there's only UFO left... erm, I guess I'll go do something else then! Still kinda busy though, I shouldn't even be playing right now - oops.

You probably already know this, but the "bubble" bullets and the "metal fatigue" bullets have different hitboxes than in the rest of the Touhou series.

Now to beat Flan-chan :V

Go for it. Flandre shouldn't be too much of a problem, especially if you know how to abuse some of her attacks (like safe-spotting through Laevateinn and BS static dodging through Maze of Love).

And another victim: we are all a big family.   Nearly there, keep going, same happened to me a bunch of times. All the more satisfying when it's over.

UFO hard, had 7 extra lives in stock when I reached Shou (I count that as a personal accomplishment), lost 2 lives there but ... wow, Byakuren tore me apart. Sure, I've only met her once before this and I refuse to watch a replay of her bossfight - I'd rather see it for myself first - but this was on another level (and apparently I thought wasting bombs is a good idea).
At least it was her that kicked my ass and not Shou, variety is important after all.

Didn't capture Rorschach, but felt like I made some of my best dodges ever there. Didn't capture Genetics, but holy crap looking at this replay I make it look easy. Etc, etc.

@ Nintendonut: Congratulations, seriously! Late, but just wanted to confirm that it was the usual credits screen you posted there.

Which I managed to do, because

UFO Lunatic 1CC with Reimu-A!

I swear, I'm so happy right now, so incredibly happy. Incredible finish, the only finish that could have been acceptable after all the time and effort I put into this. When I realized I had actually cleared the game, I started screaming, I seriously couldn't stop. 113 hours spent on Reimu-A, of which I spent maybe 20 on non-Lunatic modes. I could hardly get myself to play because all those losses kind of blew. The run itself wasn't even particularly outstanding, but goddamnit, the finish was the ultimate victory over all my fears and everything else I had to overcome to arrive at the conclusion that there just ain't no cheap tricks around Byakuren's last Spellcard that can actually make use of resources.

Posting a replay later on, right now I just want to catch on with everything I've left behind because I let this one 1CC occupy my mind above everything else. My room needs some cleaning, as do I.

But damn, I'm happy! I have finally beaten Byakuren at the highest difficulty. Been wanting to do that for ages since she's my favourite character and all.

UFO Lunatic 1CC with Reimu-A!

Ooh, congratulations! UFO lunatic is one of the best ones to beat. Savor that victory. :>

So, what's next?

Although my brain is quickly coming up with various ridiculous goals that would be neither fun nor rewarding, I think I'm going to put my foot down and say this is where I stop. ^_^

You see, I did all this as a sort of self-mastery. Perfecting bosses was a horribly time-consuming practice, and was degrading to my mental state. I did all this to free myself from those pains of obsession. Does that mean I'm done with Touhou? Not by a long shot - I did this so I can enjoy fighting any boss without any stressors. However, I think I'm done with the accomplishments game...at least, until the next Touhou comes out.  ;)

Definite congrats there.

Although there's more than these 3 that I haven't 1cc'd on Lunatic cause I pretty much quit playing, I only consider 3 of the Lunatics to be harder to 1cc than that one. Those being Mystic Square, PoDD, and PoFV(without broken characters)

But UFO is definitely considered the hardest by a lot of people, so it's a huge accomplishment.

Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana No Focus Timeout  (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=17477)

Done. The break was a good idea, this session lasted only about thirty tries. Compared to the ... many ... before. So I heard that Magical Entombing is now a new favourite for timing out, eh? ...

screw that, I'm done with timeouts for a bit.

Had some good runs in both UFO hard and EoSD lunatic today so I'll focus on those two for a while.

Ten Desires no-bombs Normal 1CC.

I love how until recently in Ten Desires I found hard mode overwhelming, and now I'm so used to it that during Yoshika's fight I actually checked the corner, honestly thinking I clicked Easy by mistake. Speaking of Yoshika, that makes all stage 3 and lower bosses perfected at Normal in all the games I've...wait.

Oh fuck, I missed Yuugi. Somehow, I get the feeling that this will not end well.

EDIT: And four attempts later (with disbelief I actually lost one to Mt. Ooe), Yuugi is perfected, yay!

It's this little thing I've got going on with myself and Byakuren. There is something about a person who is always smiling, has two hair colors at once and her personality combined with the fact that she can kick my ass better than pretty much any boss in this series that makes her horrifyingly scary.

Plushies are cool to have around though. Gives you something meaningful to throw with when things aren't going well.  :V (Okay, I have only done that once with my Sanae and that was when she ruined my no-bombs attempt)

Agreed on plushies being awesome to have, though I couldn't possibly ever hurt them. I punch myself in the face occasionally when I'm terribly angry (UFO Stage 5 hurt a lot, literally), but I wouldn't ever lay a finger on my plushies.

Speaking of which, I should order myself some needles and a Kaguya plushie and give her a Hourai Jewel piercing. Really though, this is getting terribly off topic so I'll just save it right here by posting that I made a really fucking epic capture of Sinkable Vortex.

After attempting the Scoreing Challenge with the Netherworld Team on Easy, I was a bit rusty with the Scarlet Team, so I decided to play some easymodo to get back into it.

First game back with the Scarlets, and I clear Easy quite well, and beat my score that I got with Netherworld. Bear in mind I wasn't doing a score run.

Still, breaking the Billion Barricade? Yes please.

Shame about a couple of derpy deaths.

Wait, this means my next clear I have to face Kaguya.

I'm worse at Kaguya than Eirin.

That was pretty good! I saw some interesting reactive dodges and defensive bombs there. Nice tactic at Shikigami, but I'm surprised you didn't use the safespot at Border of Life and Death, which pretty much just trivializes that attack.

Hm, it's a lot easier to collect items as Reimu-A, never used that shottype before. I noticed that you let some items drop after some of Yukari's spellcards; there's no need to be afraid of going to the top of the screen to collect them all because there's plenty of time (unlike Flandre). Aside from that, you're much better at scoring than I am (although that doesn't really need to be said because EVERYBODY is better at scoring than I am lol)

Wait, this means my next clear I have to face Kaguya.

You can always choose to fight Eirin instead, unless it's your first clear IIRC.

Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=17533)
I can't believe I just did that. After ages of failing at Youmu, Yuyuko, the Prismrivers even, I actually managed to pull off a somewhat-decent run of this game. I even captured Youmu and Yuyuko's final cards which made up for the bomb-spamming in the rest of the game (seriously 3 bombs to Deadly Dance, 2 bombs to Live Poltergeist and I wasn't even in danger the first time, 2 bombs to Flowery Soul). Somehow I cleared with 2 lives in stock. I'm really glad this is done.
edit: I just realised I no-deathed Youmu in that run. That's even better.
edit2: It says that I didn't clear when you click the link but that was just a mistake on my part. I don't upload replays very often.

Bad enough to be an accomplishment, IMO! It /was/ 4:30 AM...

 Also, I captured Mystia and Wriggle's Last Words, and Keine Hakutaku's 3rd spell...

Seriously, I knew Mokou wasn't hard. Thing is, her spells are either memorization, "lolhitboxes" or outright not fun. I just sat down today and practiced spells for like three hours, then cleared the stage on my first 'try' since forever. Also captured Hourai Doll on my first time seeing/doing the spell. Guess that's why it's not a very good spell?

Koishi and Yukari remain. I just really don't feel like doing Yukari so I'm belaying it much like I did with Mokou.  :(

'grats on the Mokou victory. She can be a pretty brutal one at times.

As for Yukari, you can most certainly beat her. The label of "phantasm boss" really doesn't mean much; it's not like she's harder than any other extra boss - she just has an extra spell card.

It would have been nice to have some ability to fight Byakuren, but figured I'd be able to strong-arm my way through that battle, and I guess I was right. I used ReimuA for this, because I just can't get used to Sanae's faster movement. Now only Ten Desires remains and I will have 1cced every Windows game. I've also got MS and LLS done, so maybe I'll turn to those first three games as well, just to say I've got everything 1cced.

Didn't know TD was your last Windows game, too; I won't be able to play for at least a week starting tomorrow, so I won't be able to play until some time after the New Year, which is why I haven't even started yet, so you'll probably beat me to it there.

So this isn't exactly an accomplishment but more of a notice / request.

TD is easy. Perfecting Miko is also easy, which is what I've been doing. During this time, I wanted to see how hard a pacifist run of the stage would be - the first thing coming to mind, of course, are the stacked lasers.

Apparently, those are hard & fun, yeah, but the streaming fairies from all sides makes it neigh impossible. I've already managed a fairy->lasers transition before once, which is surprisingly hard. The impossible part, though, is the lasers->fairies transition. So yeah, if anyone manages (or managed??) to do that he will literally blow my mind.

And I was going to show a replay of the lasers part (in which I kill the fairies before and after) but I guess it's bugged or something.

(The fairies->lasers transition is done by streaming to one of the sides, going up and then returning to the center, all while dodging a full barrage of lasers. If you take it from the center you'll get walled by the exiting fairies.)

(Oh, and this was on normal. :V)

This is what you meant right? I pacified the stage portion on Normal. It was pretty wild, I have to say, and fun too. Didn't try Hard or Lunatic yet. Switching from lasers to fairies wasn't too bad, but the raw fairy swarm after that is a little, uh, dense.
Title: Re: Touhou Accomplishments - Unlucky 13th?
Post by: BT on December 23, 2011, 12:40:03 PM
Yeah. Guess I didn't successfully reach the laser->fairies part enough times to see that it's not, well, impossible. Good job doing it so fast.  :toot:

I have no idea how harder / impossible this would be on Hard / Lunatic but I know I'm not going to try.

If anyone ever manages the lunatic version, make a video about it. My laptop starts exploding if i try this. Its like a framerate of 30FPS or something like that.

Hopefully. I hear it's the easiest one, so it would be pretty weird if I didn't finish it before the New Year. ;) (Might even do do it within 24 hours)My goal is to 1cc all of the main games before January 22nd, which would be the anniversary of the first day I played Touhou. Assuming those PC-98 games don't give me hell, I think I can do it.
After that I'll think about the decimal ones. I've already done StB and DS, but those fighting games...
I'll do them when I'm good and ready. :V
Wow! Only 1 year? Congratz! It took me more than that to get my first lunatic, and now it's been 2 years, and I've only got to SA.
I'm scared of UFO (the last one!!!) - how much harder is it compared to SA lunatic (<-- God damn nightmare)?

As for TD, I can say that it won't be any harder than most of the lunatics (anything except SA/UFO). It's got easier patterns, but then it also gives you less lives (I mean PCB gives you 10, EoSD and MoF give you 8, but TD only gives you 7 unless you get lots of trance - if you can do that, you prob won't need the 8th life anyways), so you don't want to make many mistakes - which drains resource and screw up your trance meter.

Wait, TD gives you 7?  I've only ever gotten 6, and my blind run only got 4 but cleared anyway with a life to spare (normal, barely got the 6th life on my hard clear)

In my lunatic clear, I got the 7th life (luckily) at the end of Guse Flash (where I exited 0/0 and thought my run was doomed).
Of course, having no bombs, I died to the next spell (lol Miko's hardest spell).
Thanks to the last spell being so derp easy, I managed to clear anyways.
I kinda wished for the 8th life, but that'd require too much work, and to think that people have gotten the 9th life...

To get 7 lives (i.e. 5 "extra" lives) in total, I simply memorized where the life-carrying fairies are (usually before midboss, and before boss) and tranced (almost) all of them. Some of the deaths during bosses probably helped, since a few fragments can mean you don't reach the extend in time (in my case, when I was out of resources).

* and lol my normal clear was sooo bad that I finished like 0/2 or smthing, even got double KO'd by Miko's last spell, of all things.

Sorry.  ::)

The only difference between the stages is that the stage portion is slightly harder and some of the cards are longer / harder, but not by a lot. The only one who got a significant boost is Youkai Laser --> Mesh of Light and Darkness. If you beat Ran, the only thing you need to do is get used to the stage and you'll get it eventually.

In my experience, yes. I can clear SA without even thinking much about it, but UFO took everything I had. It's like jumping one or two more difficulty levels.

As for extra lives in TD, I'm finding the whole process to be stupid. It ecourages you to bomb-spam midbosses for extra fairies and trance through as much of the bosses as you can. Well you skip spells and get more lives, so I guess it's like compounded easiness.

MOUNTAIN OF FAITH EXTRA PERFECT (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=17624)
Spell card histories of each spell after the perfect run:
Beautiful Mountain Spring like Suiga:   55/58
Ancient Fate Linked by Cedars: 52/55
Omiwatori God Crosses: 46/53
Party Start: 30/33 (lots of wallfairy failures until I adapted donut's strategy)
Long Arm and Long Leg: 25/30
Moriya's Iron Ring: 20/24
Jade of the Horrid River: 13/21
Snake Eats the Croaking Frog: 13/16
Seven Stones and Seven Trees: 13/15 (I never failed this in a perfect attempt, only spell for that to be true)
Froggy Braves the Elements: 8/15
Red Frog in Houei Era 4: 5/12
Suwa War Native Myth vs. Central Myth: 4/11
Mishaguji-sama: 5/10

It's done.
It's finally done.
Over 150 attempts total at the stage, a third of which reached Kanako.  20% of runs that reached her ended there.  25% of runs that got past Kanako ended before Suwako.  A mere 40% of the runs that reached Suwako reached 'the hard part', Froggy Braves the Elements. 
4 runs ended there.
3 ended on Red Frog.
3 ended on Suwa War.
1 ended on Mishaguji-sama.
and 1 run saw all 13 'spell card bonus' messages come up.
It was worth it, but I'm never perfecting an extra boss again. Probably.

Sure let's add my first capture of Yamato Torus to the list of things I did today.  and also a 2D1B VoWG, where I succesfully avoid the final 3rd of the health bar

Perfecting Suwako is an amaazing experience. Cherish it. :3

As for me, I just succeeded in the easiest of those unreasonable accomplishments that nagged at my mind a couple days after perfecting Byakuren: Perfecting Yoshika while also capturing all her spell cards. Even if it only took an hour, capturing her last spell card outside of spell practice was really annoying.

Why'd I do this?

Because I'm combining all my 10D perfects into one video! >o</ Coming soon to a channel near you!
Title: Re: Touhou Accomplishments - Unlucky 13th?
Post by: BT on December 24, 2011, 12:12:13 PM
Holy. How. What? WHAT?

I DID IT? (http://replays.gensokyou.org/newup.php)

The last few days have been really frustrating for me, at least in regards to this stage. I mean, yeah, sure, I cleared Mamizou, Mokou AND Yukari in such short notice, but this one was always a brick wall. That is, until I reached Genetics. And died four times. And then again, and I died three times and then two to the survival card. From then it only went downhill and I couldn't even get to Genetics anymore - I started getting stupid deaths on non-spells (the two red ones at the beginning are especially notorious), the reverse release of the ID spell which I suddenly got bad at, and then it even got to dying twice during the stage or dying on Danmaku Paranoia of all things.

I was really going to concede defeat. The stage wasn't overwhelming, but I realized why it is arguably the hardest Extra stage of them all - you're never safe. Only two cards did I capture consistently: her first, and Youkai Polygraph. You are ALWAYS prone to dying at any second of the fight. You can ruin your run at any given moment. Therefore, you have to be in top form. For the entire fight. Unless you're crazy good. With that realization, I was about to go back to trying to 1cc games on Hard, leaving Koishi and my all Extras in the series clear achievement to a later date.

Then I decided, since I'm stubborn like that, to have one more run before lunch. I decided that I had one shot - if I get to Koishi, no matter what happens, a game over and I'm taking a break. Of course, this would also mean a break from the stage for a long, long time. Considering how I hyped this one, simple attempt, I was nervous as fuck. This usually results in a bunch of mistakes, but I was so nervous that I made some extreme precise(/lucky!) dodges on Sanae's second and third cards, and perfected the stage. Whatever, this has happened before.

I then proceed to nervously capture every single non-spell and spell up to the one before Embers of Love, in which I do exceptionally well. Then came Embers of Love in which I still don't believe the extremely risky capture I had achieved.

Then, 2D Genetics. Considering that my average is, at the very least, 3 or 4 deaths, and that I was fairly consistent throughout the spell (again, compared to how I usually do), I was very, very satisfied with how I did.

Then I proceed to almost capture the survival card. At this point I had no idea what was going on.

Before this, I had only reached the survival card three times. I got a game over on it, three times. Two runs lost their final life, one run lost two final lives. This time, I had 3 lives. I exited with 2. (effectively 4, effectively 3)

Then, one more death to Subterranean Rose. I was bound to get at least one death as a result of my being nervous, I guess.

I proceed to bomb when needed until it's over. I clear the stage with one excess life. At this point I was celebrating with Suwako during the end sequence. I was... overjoyed.

I could not have wished for a better run for my final extra clear. That's it, all extra stages clear, I'm done!!!

Time for Hard 1ccs, then...

Edit: Did a little backtracking to make a list. :)

17/8/11 - Started playing.
19/9/11 - First 1cc on Normal. (EoSD)
20/10/11 - All games 1cc'd on Normal. (TD)
9/11/11 - First Extra clear. (MoF)
24/12/11 - All Extra clear. (SA)

Also, Congratz to Zil and Lepetit for UFO lunatic!
All of you guys are doing such awesome things, making me want to start working on the dreaded UFO lunatic... a 1cc probably won't come for a loooong time given my current ability. I mean, SA lunatic took quite a bit of effort, and it didn't even feel as hard as UFO does right now (dying many times in stage 2 and 3? Gosh I really need to do some grinding).

So here's Marisa's version. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKHb30rlUbU)
And Sanae's version. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Rue4WDUqhw)

Got to say that these spellcards are still pretty creative.

Rather good stage portion and no lives lost till Nue's 7th nonspell. Ended with 2 lives 2 bombs for what is probably my best first clear of an extra stage.

Now just EoSD, SA, and TD left! Likely in that order.

Then you have to go get the replays from your appdata>roaming>shanghaialice folder. (For Vista anyway. Check the manual for the game. It should hold the location for whatever OS you are running)

It can be irksome to find it on certain systems so i made a shortcut.

Considering I never used trance for survival it's essentially the same run without the derp as it was because I was watching a life piece fade to time my trance better, and thus a 1DNB run would have been what I had, so I really don't see a point to NBNT.

Good to know I haven't atrophied completely.

Random run of Flansocks.  Capped Royal Flare, Laevateinn, Four of a Kind, Kagome, Kagome, Maze of Love and Counter Clock.  Actually ran the maze for the first time ever!  Finished 1/3, including two deaths with full bombs on ATWTBN and QED.  Surprisingly good!
Title: Re: Touhou Accomplishments - Unlucky 13th?
Post by: GuppyForce on December 26, 2011, 07:34:16 AM
Captured Embers of Love on my 3rd try (And at 2 power!), and did pretty well on Genetics (1 bomb).

Then proceeded to get owned by the 2nd and 3rd phases of Philosophy of a Hated Person...

I'll get used to this spell...

Eventually...

EDIT: Had a half-awesome-half-fail run on EoSD Extra just now. On the bright side, captured Royal Flare, Cranberry Trap (Speedkill makes this so much easier), Maze of Love, and some others while getting my first capture of Catadioptric. Counter Clock is also a lot better now, as is Starbow Break and ATTWBN (which I still died to). On the fail side, I DIED TWICE to LAVATEIN (And once to Four of a Kind).

EDIT2: SCREW ALL OF THAT. I BEAT FLANDRE! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=17674) (7 spellcard bonuses too, though I really should bomb more)

Two extra clears two days in a row! And that just leaves Koishi and Mamizou :)

This is what you meant right? I pacified the stage portion on Normal. It was pretty wild, I have to say, and fun too. Didn't try Hard or Lunatic yet. Switching from lasers to fairies wasn't too bad, but the raw fairy swarm after that is a little, uh, dense.
So I decided to try this.
fairies-->lasers completed once
all lasers completed twice
lasers-->fairies done once
end fairies-->reversed the swarm of bullets successfully once
perfect pacifist Stage 6 is possible, I'm debating if TASing it is worth the time.

EDIT: attempt 3 tries failing to the dense part and one to the lasers, I'm taking a break from TASing this.  I'm going to get it though.

I survived that Kunai Hell until the bomb fragment fairies came along and shot me back in the trial version, but maybe it was easier then? Tried just now and only the part when they come from both sides is really hard, I don't think you should need to TAS this.

On Lunatic? I nearly failed at 15 fps (though on the other hand, it took only one try). If you think you can do it without TAS then go for it, but I certainly don't see myself pulling it off, unless there's some trick like misdirection or something that I'm not seeing. I'll give it another try anyway. Yeah, I can't do it.

I tried a bunch of stuff pacifist yesterday without TAS then tried TASing it.  I was able to dodge the kunai until the dense part once, and I could do the dense part at 15 FPS except I didn't want to grind the stage (because I already had been grinding the extra stage for the red rings of death)

Also, I got a full trance in spell practice.  You still can't use it though.

and I captured Miko's Overdrive no horizontal.  (First with TAS, then I really 'wow that was beyond trivial' and did it at 60 FPS)

EDIT:watched the replay, and that is why you are better than me, even with TAS.  Either that or the RNG kept screwing me over, but probably both.  The replay crashed the game too due to how epic it was.

I suppose I can reach Yumemi in PoDD pretty consistently now, though I always seem to do myself in right before victory. I'm putting this here instead of the rage thread because this actually feels like an accomplishment. When I started I could barely even reach the decisive match.

So I decided to use TD Spell Practice to brush up on the cards that were really costing me runs against Mamizou, Tanuki's Monstrous School and Wild Deserted Island.

I attempted Wild Deserted Island and...captured it on my first try.

Then I attempted Tanuki's Monstrous School and...captured it on my first try. How about that.

Anyway, time to go and practice some more so I can turn a pair of 1/1 into something like 2/30.

edit: HOLY SHIT SCREW ALL OF THAT

I JUST CAPTURED REIMU'S SECOND EXTRA SURVIVAL IN MARINE BENEFIT.

Yes, it's humanly possible and I FUCKING DID IT.

Title: Re: Touhou Accomplishments - Unlucky 13th?
Post by: Zengeku on December 28, 2011, 01:36:19 PM
I don't think so. But then again, a super player doing this doesn't really come as a surprise. When considering that game, only three trouble spots comes to mind. Momiji, PWG and to a much lesser extend Hydro Camouflage. Even in UFO it appears that the super players have the skills to perfect Shou and Byakuren back to back in the same run so a full perfect run of MoF is pretty average from their kind, especially considering how MoF top scoring is mostly just that. A perfect run, save for a bunch of situations where easy parts are bombed for greater score. (Except Momiji)

I think the super players could perfect any given Touhou game in its entirity if that's what they wanted to do. Without all that much hazzle even. If you can consistently perfect Byakuren and Shou then you'll probably not have any kind of problem with any other boss in the game. Things like Greatest Treasure I'm not sure about since they don't capture it but makes sure to bring a bomb. As for EoSD, rank might become a huge bitch so I'm not entirely sure about that one.

misumi also got pretty close on perfecting EoSD, dying only once on Stage 4 (you know where). HS already did a perfect run with a slightly lower score of 1.61B. Saki perfected SA and SHIN perfected UFO. All of them are available at royalflare except misumi's.

It was a great run too (with a suitably terrible score); no deaths all the way to Yumemi, and she only killed me twice, so I finished with three lives remaining.

I managed to capture the following MoF ultra hard patterns:
Hina's last spell

That may well be necessary when I get to it. For now I'm working on SoEW, but you wouldn't happen to know which shot type is the best would you?

Post by: nintendonut888 on December 30, 2011, 09:59:06 AM
Best shot type in SoEW? This is one of the few games where it's really down to your preferences.

Reimu A has a great spread and on lunatic and max rank (lol good luck) is the only shot type who can outrun some attacks, but is also low on damage and often too quick for her own good.

Reimu B has a good, medium speed that serves you in most purposes, and homing at max power that really helps out in damage and in survival. However, even one power item below max and your power is curbed considerably since homing doesn't kick in.

Reimu C is extremely strong and makes short work of bosses, especially Marisa, since at max power the bullets are piercing and hit all of her orreries suns. However, she's also very slow and simply does not have the range to survive certain attacks on lunatic (hello falling bouncing balls in stage 3).

Out of all of them, I prefer Reimu B, but choose whichever you think is best. Despite the rumors, SoEW lunatic is one of the easiest to clear once you know what's coming. You simply have to suffer a few times to know what those comings are. Good luck~

On another note I captured Heaven Spider's Butterfly-Capturing Web in 3 tries after dying over twenty times to Apollo 13 Hard. I tried to safespot it but it wasn't really working so I ended up doing it the normal way.
I also captured Blind Nightbird and Unseasonal Butterfly Storm, although the latter was with Remilia's familiars. UBS is too hard for me otherwise.

I proceed to pull a perfect everything up to the survival card.

Yes, including Genetics. What the fuck.

This is the first time I've touched the stage ever since my first clear of it, which was six days ago. I'm kind of speechless. ~_~

Two deaths to the survival and two deaths to Subterranean Rose. Most of these were results of being distracted. Mainly, thinking about that Genetics capture. The only honest death was the first, so at the very least I can say that stupid deaths were -not- the cause for losing my perfect Extra run. So, yeah, not as pissed as I could have been. On the contrary - I feel pretty fucking great right now.

Personally I had more trouble with Game of Life and 2 of Kaguya's last spells than either of those, but you're close.  At the rate you're going it shouldn't take too long.

Also I had the horrible idea of trying to get a 'perfect' IN score.dat, involving 4860 different 1ccs (all difficulties with all teams/solos)
Easy and normal are trivial, I already did extra, most of hard won't be too bad, and I just got the last team lunatic 1cc today (Scarlet team)

Said run had the WORST Wriggle battle ever, the BEST Mystia, the BEST Keine, a predictably bad Reimu because I have almost 0 practice with her, an ok Reisen, a HORRENDOUS Eirin (3 bombs, a life, and 2 more bombs? that's what I used on Reisen...), and a fantastic Kaguya, but not as good as my Magic team run of her.

If I recall correctly, that unlocks one the most god-awful spells in the history of Touhou...
Good luck! :D
Fantasy Heaven...Be prepared for a several hour grind to figure out where to go when, wait for Reimu to move the right direction and not screw up.  Although when I captured it I was set for another 2-3 seconds, so...

Got to Stage 5 on TD Normal, perfect Stage 1,2 and 3. My first death was me rushing to the PoC after Seiga for the life/bomb part... and the zombie respawning as I dashed past it, causing possibly my derpiest collision death ever. I didn't know it respawned instantly if a spell ended D: Downward spiral from there... mainly dying on Stage 5 nonspells due to getting timings wrong.

Also, unlocked Yuyuko's Overdrive. Cursed randomisation of the pattern makes me keep dying. Gave up [for now] at 60 attempts.

I tried the Stage 6 starting portion pacifying on lunatic and... well, the fairies -> lasers and lasers -> fairies swaps seem rather... dense, while most likely doable (but you better wish for the RNG).

The "Kunai Hell" feels a lot more doable, even at 60 fps. The only portion that seems to need some hard dodging is the final phase, I gave it three dies dying to the same spot (where the "bomb fragment"-fairies spawn), at the end of the "Kunai Hell". I'll give it a couple of more tries, but with my skills (that is, no skills), I will most likely just die to the same spot over and over again, get bored, and go scoring.

I haven't achieved anything special lately, apart from breaking 2B on IN easy on border team, which is not really an achievement since I did nothing special in that run (apart from failing two easy spells).. yeah.

You press the shot button as quickly as you can and you shoot faster than if you just hold down the button, doubling your damage output. It only applies to SoEW though, so don't bust your keyboard in any of the other games. =P

I probably did the stage portion a bit awkward, but even then, perfected everything else.  Also, I hadn't played this stage for two months.

EDIT: Just cleared MoF stage 6 lunatic on 120fps (*sigh...VoWG)...but...how do I record it with FRAPS on 120fps?  I tried setting it to 120fps and it still recorded at 60fps...

BTW, my version of FRAPS is 2.9.4.

There should be an option that says "lock framerate while recording." That should probably do it, though I've never actually done it before myself.

I'd assume you set the gamespeed to 120 and then the Fraps recording framerate to 120, although I don't use Fraps to record.

Actually, if you're setting the game to run at 120 fps, and Fraps to record at 120 fps at the same time, you might try doing just one or the other, or set the game to 120 and Fraps to 30 or something. Setting Fraps to record at 120 fps would probably create a monstrosity of a video file, or several.

I can run UFO perfectly but Shuusou Gyoku. 30 FPS tops. So yeah Zil, that's probably good for you. But so is Cave's games so go and play them and beat my shitty Ketsui score.

Yup. That's why I can't play those things. I've been playing Ketsui and getting my ass kicked, but I need to learn where my hitbox is and where the enemies come from and all that. Wicked fun regardless.
As for those decimal games, I'll probably do GFW eventually, but I hate those fighting games. I can't even make the spells work in IaMP. Maybe I'll do the other path in HRtP, and IN final A while I'm at it.
90fps... I haven't done much at all with it, but I suppose I must sooner or later.

Also... DS 9-7 took me 244 photos. >:D I thought that was bad but I guess it's pretty good.  :) (Yes, I'm being a braggart, I don't care.)

I prefer to think of 9-7 as a joke scene, personally. In terms of skill level needed to clear it, the level I would say needed to do it consistently is "superhuman." There's far too many random factors moving at too high speeds for any human to consistently survive it long enough for three shots. It's pretty funny though, you have to admit.

Believe me, I'm in the same boat. It could have just as easily taken twice as many tries. I'm not sure what ZUN was thinking with that scene, or if he was even thinking at all. Like Donut said, I couldn't even get mad at the thing, it's just so ridiculous it's funny. (Of course, if it took 1,000+ tries I might have been a bit more...upset.)

Agreed. If he had been serious about it, he would have set the amount of photos required for the clear higher than three. With three photos, you can clear it with luck in a reasonable amount of time, more than that would become rather difficult. At least I don't think he'd actually use what is widely considered to be the hardest scene of Shoot the Bullet and raise the difficulty even further while being serious about it, I think it worked well as a joke.

Then again, I spent, at the very least, four times the amount of that on the original version in Shoot the Bullet. Granted, I hadn't even cleared all games on Normal back then, but persistence always pays off. Always look at the bright side - the longer you take to accomplish something, the more rewarding the eventual success is.

I finally captured Seiga's Overdrive with Sanae (now the only thing I have left in 10D Spell Practice is Yuyuko's Overdrive with Youmu)

it only took about 2 hours with absolutely no breaks or pausing whatsoever (I have no idea but I just didn't feel like stopping) which equated to roughly 350 tries in a row

608 tries total, of course (http://puu.sh/ckQA)

I mean I captured it in 64 tries with Reimu, 71 with Marisa, and 29 with Youmu (because lol yoshika dies), but no, Sanae is evil, evil. Over 5 deaths happened after Seiga blew up.

Imperishable night extra stage 1.5 billion!
perfect stage, except a deathbomb on Keine's first.  grazed the opening of the stage, didn't safespot the death fairy, played for time points a bit on Mokou without stalling, and proceeded to expend 3 bombs on the rings of death.  I then died and bombed Fujiyama Volcano, then deathbombed and died to Possessed by Phoenix, before capturing Hourai Doll and not seeing a path through the second wave of Imperishable Shooting.

It was good enough to be my best run ever on the stage though, finished 4/3 but outscored my Border Team record by 50 million even though that finished 5/0 and survived longer into Imperishable Shooting.

On lunatic.
On my first time ever not bombing it.
In the same run as a 1DNB endboss Nitori.
In which I captured her 2nd spell for the first time ever.

Obviously exploiting the pattern :V :V :V

@ I have no name
You can try it. It should be safe in an actual run - just bomb if your eyes suddenly lose track (often when it "changes")
Basically, you find a lane between the blue and green bullets and then dodge between the purple and yellow bullets.
When the purple+yellow bullets move out of sync with the blue/green lane, you move and find another lane.
Lane changing is the most difficult part since you have to dodge _and_ find/move to a lane at the same time.

Except supergrazing the 2nd phase is better.
Also, playing for score when playing for score means not shooting/grazing a ton of bullets (every game bar MoF), I don't really find that fun.  Which is why most of my scores are based on spell captures and point items than a ton of graze/score milking.
and no, I'm not score-running Ten Desires because that'd be boring, and waiting for the right time to shoot down nonspells in MoF is boring too, which is why I don't score-run in a nutshell.  I use a few scoring strategies (IN extra intro supergraze), but mostly I just go for survival.

Also, playing for score when playing for score means not shooting/grazing a ton of bullets (every game bar MoF), I don't really find that fun.  Which is why most of my scores are based on spell captures and point items than a ton of graze/score milking.
and no, I'm not score-running Ten Desires because that'd be boring, and waiting for the right time to shoot down nonspells in MoF is boring too, which is why I don't score-run in a nutshell.  I use a few scoring strategies (IN extra intro supergraze), but mostly I just go for survival.
I see.
I don't like TD scoring system ,too .
and Thank you very much for tips ~! ^_^

hey look at this stupid stupid idea I had it's called 'let's 1cc normal touhou without shooting during stage portions including midbosses and then get cocky when we have 3 lives on the final boss and die twice early on leaving us with no lives until the final spellcard which we then capture anyway and i can't be bothered to capitalize any of this'

Came within 2 seconds of capturing the impossible survival card in Marine Benefit AGAIN. Also managed to cap both the first and last cards, and perfected the midboss to boot.

Screencap (http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad256/Malkyrian/survival.png), for proof that I did indeed capture that thing.
wow  .You are pretty good ~!  :D
I can't even no deaths to that omg spell ! :c

Woohoo, Hina's midboss spell capture, Sanae's first (hard) capture, Sanae' lunatic opener capture, and Moses Miracle (lunatic) captures.
Hina's midboss card I unfocused and moved under a bullet and stopped between 2 in a set without realizing (just that I unfocused, moved and didn't get hit), and Moses Miracle I hugged the laser wall on the right side near the end.

Only Nitori's final, Aya's second, Sanae's first and VoWG remain to be captured in MoF for me, then I'll have captured every spell in that game.

yeah sure let's add a lunatic 1D1BASC Aya to my list.  (death was to Aya's opener, double KO, bomb was to the second nonspell because I hate it) http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=17916
My PWG capture history is now 2/9, same as my Apollo 13 lunatic history.

SA Stage 6 Normal clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=17918)
Perfect Stage portion, captured Nuclear Fusion, captured Fixed Star, and captured Hell's Artificial Sun for the first time. Also, one bomb and two deaths. For 1. SA levels of difficulty, and 2. Stage 6 of said difficulty level average, this is good.

Now...

Adding a 1DNB Nitori, with a capture or the midboss spellcard too.  The death was a BS clip to her first spell.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=17919

1 spell remains in Mountain of Faith, Sanae's 1st.
meaning I captured virtue of Wind God.  No spell has taken more than 10 attempts to capture so far, so I have high hopes for this.

Hmm, this is as good a place to ask as any.

Ahem. I request a Ten Desires score.dat from a lunatic player. Because I reformatted my computer, and because ZUN has the best system EVER for storing score.dats and replays, I lost all my data for 10D, DS, and GFW. However, it's much more limiting when I'm not able to play 10D, so I'll only ask for that. At the very least, I want one with lunatic completely unlocked for one character.

EDIT: Never mind! I already had a donor. :3

Just came unbelievably close to perfecting Ran. Only one attack bombed, and no border breaks, all the way up until Kokkuri-san's Contract (at which I admittedly fell apart, but still).

I can't even believe I'm seriously, without any irony, thinking of perfecting an extra boss. I haven't even come close to beating Lunatic in any game (closest was getting to the Prismriver Sisters) and here I am seriously aiming to perfect an extra boss. Just that alone is one hell of an achievement, I think.

If this is the run you're talking about (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=17924) I think you should trance more than you should (i.e. life/bomb fairies before midboss Kyouko) because I'm sure you can refill your trance meter later on and use that again to get more life/bomb pieces.

EDIT:
Stage 3: Perhaps trance during Kogasa? There's no Spell Card in Normal so there's no huge time delay in between attacks.
Stage 5: I think you could've tranced during the six resource fairies before Tojiko and during the massive wave of resource fairies right before Futo.
Stage 6: Do NOT kill the fairies after the lasers right away. The spirits at the end of the line give you bomb pieces. The next wave of fairies give you life pieces. Those are good trance spots. I suggest going into trance mode and focus killing the spirits first.

Good luck beating Miko next time!

An above average no focus no bombs Stage 4 Hard run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14355)

I find this really, really fun, despite many parts of the stage being based on luck almost completely (the wall-stream formations, Momiji, her first and second spell). Well, at least when you try to no focus it, since the way you maneuver between bullets is completely random. But still fun.

Here, I perfect the stage (I usually fall to Momij or one of the wall-stream formations), almost capture her second spell, almost capture PWG and capture her last. The perfect stage portion is the real achievement, really, as her last spell is easy enough, her first spell requires precision that you cannot muster with no focus, the second spell is completely luck-based with no focus (and I captured it once!) and I got to 0 seconds with PWG a few runs ago. :/

I don't mind. This is so fun!

without shooting during stages.

but bombing stages and shooting midbosses is ok.
I timed out Mountain of Faith at the end because something like that is trivial for me.  I'm highly amused that the end of game bonus increased my score more than 250%.

Finally captured Subterranean Rose. On top of that, perfected Koishi up to Genetics, entered the fight with 4.00 power, and the only two spells I didn't cap I 1DNBed. Now THAT is what I call an amazing run.

After playing as ReimuB for so long I'm amazed at how easy ReimuA makes everything. Well, almost everything, lack of instant autocollect feels annoying in the beginning of the stage, but from Sanae on it's pretty much a non-issue.

The PWG-like one. I took 9 pictures to bring it the final phase, then timed out the rest without any more picture taking. It took about 40 seconds to reach the last picture, so I was dodging for a little under 3 minutes. It'd be nice if you could just start from the final phase. :derp:

PCB: EX clear with Marisa A, Sakuya A and Reimu A Phantasm with Sakuya A but was very lucky in doing so.

IN: EX Clear with Border Team, Magic team (somehow the best play of it) and Netherworld team. 1CC hard using Reimu and capped all normal spell (the end of imperishable night included) with Marisa alone. (I know a couple of those are Last word unlock requirements but I am happy I was able to do tem nontheless)

PoFV: 1cc Normal clear with all playable characters. (wasn't conetent just regularly clearing them for the Ex unlock =D)

MoF: Ex clear with Reimu A (took a while but finally did it)

SA: 1CC normal with Reimu/Yukari (I hate you stage 5......), Ex clear with Reimu/Yukari, timing out Subterranean Rose.

UFO: 1cc Normal with Sanae A and B and Reimu A.(wanna do this with Marisa. dammit Shou.....) Still working on the EX.

TD: 1CC normal clear with Marisa the day I got it. Still working on EX (I hate you Nue 1st spell and Mamizou 1st spell.).

in not so mainstream games......

12.3: No death clear of Lunatic using Youmu, Marisa and Yukari.

12.8: 1CC normal clear of all paths. still being slain maliciously on Ex (Haven't even made it to Marisa once....)

Edit: I'll probably give the Extra Stage a shot later. This one does seem simple enough and I might have an easier time with it compared to Mokou's stage, Ran's stage, or (especially) Marisa's stage.  :]

Congrats! First Normal 1CC is always awesome. :D

Word of caution though: while the stage portion of TD Extra is easy, Mamizou is among the hardest EX bosses in the series. Probably second to Marisa, but then I haven't played Marisa so what do I know about that.

Mamizou...none of the patterns are THAT difficult (except the survival), but with so few lives to work with, she's pretty difficult.

I've been holding off making any posts because I finally got around to uploading some of my Touhou replays on YouTube:

(pfft these aren't even achievements but oh well :()

Touhou 10 - Extra Stage - Clear (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoJkdHLhPIs)
Touhou 11 - Extra Stage - Clear (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BVeq9TMFG4)
Touhou 06 - Extra Stage - Clear (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWlFqavmxAE)
Touhou 07 - Extra Stage - Clear (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q6xpmRQsts)
Touhou 07 - Phantasm Stage - Clear (Part 1/2 - Stage) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBDDVJkjuD0)
Touhou 07 - Phantasm Stage - Clear (Part 2/2 - Boss) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hxq5rdEF60s)

Information for these is contained in the video descriptions. Note that only the Touhou 07 Phantasm Stage videos have been annotated, so get ready to see some strange unexplained derps in the other replays.

Also, the Touhou 06 and 07 videos are available in 720p HD. (If you watch the videos in the listed/uploaded order, you'll notice that I've been gradually mastering my recording, encoding and uploading procedures.)

I will eventually upload my (shitty) Touhou 07 Hard Mode 1CC replay after I finish editing and annotating the videos - considering it was my first attempt ever at PCB Hard, the amount of fail after Stage 3 is just hilarious.

SA Stage 6 Normal clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=17918)
Perfect Stage portion, captured Nuclear Fusion, captured Fixed Star, and captured Hell's Artificial Sun for the first time. Also, one bomb and two deaths. For 1. SA levels of difficulty, and 2. Stage 6 of said difficulty level average, this is good.

Now...

Go for it. Sunglasses might help :).

59 FPS is 98.3333% of 60 FPS, a 1.667% difference; as far as I can tell, I'd say that's negligible.

All of Route A1 Stage 1 cards Gold on Hard. First one was easy. Second was sorta tricky but not very much actually. It didn't take many attempts. Moving on to Stage 2 now. Iirc, that means Sapphire. And she is probably gonna be a bitch.

HOW.

He circled around Kaguya while dodging the bullets I'd imagine. :V

EDIT: Yeah, uh just went to attempt timing it out and I realise that you aren't circling Kaguya but some familiars.
To Glimmer, I can say this much. The trick is to stick within the area that Kaguya allows you. This is most tricky when you are passing from the lower-right part of the screen to the lower-left. When you need to pass through the middle of the screen, from one side to another, you should mainly be concentrating on the bullets passing through here. It shouldn't be very tough to pull off. I timed it out a long time ago and if memory serves, I was pretty much around your skill level when it happened. Just keep trying at it.

Tried counting how many times you can bomb in SA with MarisaA... maybe this should go in the derp topic?
Anyways, I managed exactly 150 bombs, but I dropped many power items, accidentally ended one power item dropping boss attack at max power and even failed to kill some power item dropping enemies, also down 1 extend I believe, but that might be required to get this many bombs. Doing things like collecting power items dropped by deathwaved enemies along with the power items dropped around the F item could milk more bombs too.

160+ is probably a good target for high level bomb runners  :V

Post by: Zengeku on January 11, 2012, 07:35:51 PM
Got two more Gold Medals on Fairy Wars Hard Route A1.

I don't recall the name of the first card but it's the first card the three fairies use. Very fun attack. Flying all around the screen to disable Sunny's back up made her a simple target but I don't think I'd use the word easy about the process of disabling said backup. Well, I got it in one try but it was still fun to do. It wasn't exactly soul-crushingly hard but hard enough to get my blood flowing. Which is good. I haven't experienced much of a rush out of Touhou for a long while. In fact, i think the last time was my perfect run of Koishi and that wasn't really intensity rather than a 'please let me have this perfect so I never have to play this stage again' kinda feeling.

Second card. Ice Dissolver. I don't really know if this is as impressive as I'd like to think it is. Its probably not but somehow I didn't feel entirely in control. Or rather, I felt unnaturally MUCH in control. Cirno didn't make one move that I didn't want her to. Which is odd considering how poor my eye to hand coordination has been recently.

I failed at any other of their cards but they all seem possible. Elfin Canopy seems like it would be smart to take out one fairy and then concentrate on dodging since I'm pretty sure the other support fairy gets more health when you take one of them down. I died here three times btw. :)


Star Sapphire was a dick as expected, though not as much of a dick as I had anticipated. Only one card struck me as downright BS - as in, use Ice or Die! - But given that the game is focused around the Ice gimmick I suppose its acceptable that not all cards are meant to be No-Ice'd. Acceptable but not ideal. The cards should've had been designed so that No Ice would be legitimately possible on all cards because of the Gold Medals.


Oh and I remember ranting about the stages back in the day but really, these stages are a bit lazy yeah but a lot better than the bulk of Touhou stages.


EDIT: Got the S3 midboss one. Got very close to Gold Medalling the Final Card but fucked up right at the end. Meh.


Also, tl;dr: Gold Medalling is fucking awesome and a lot better than TD so drop that game and go hunt for the gold!

Gold Medalled the Three Fairies Final Attack on Hard! I know its probably one of the easier routes but fuck that noise, It was still an epic attack. I win! I can rest easy now.

Except that I still need two of Sapphire's attacks and Elfin Canopy. Those cards are gonna be tricky but I think I can do it.

Oh sweet Youkai Jesus I finally did it (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18047)

It's not pretty. It's not even good. It's raw, ugly, and, frankly, I did HORRIBLY until Miko, where I suddenly must have been supported by Sanae's miricle powers.

Especially horrible from that first death on Yoshika to the end of Stage 5. I can usually beat Futo fine, let alone her 2nd nonspell.

Still, it's my first 1CC on Normal Difficulty of any Touhou game. I'm probobly going to clear it a couple more times, try to actually have a life left. Then I'll go back to Imperishable, seeing as I can get to Stage 6 on that.

After that? Who knows. Probobly EoSD.

Of course, for the lulz, I'll give Extra a shot.

ReimuA. I did consider ReimuC for the bomb, but I think I'm going to need some ability to capture things as well, and it generally takes only one bomb per spell anyway with ReimuA.

And more on this nonsense: I came very close to doing Hard at 90fps, so I'm moving on to Lunatic. I think I can no-death the first two stages, and maybe 3 if I can figure out some tricks. (Mt. Ooe is madness). Stage 4 I'm sure I'll die, but I've managed to capture Terrifying Hypnotism, and I think I can get consistent at it, with one bomb to each of the other spells, so I'm happy with my progress so far. :D

@olAlolilo: Weren't you the guy that 1cced almost everything on lunatic in 4 months? Don't you dare call yourself a noob player.  ;)

Always had trouble with that spellcard as well (even with the normal and hard version). Then I did a no focus timeout of SFN: gawd I used to have trouble with this card? So if you want to train it you could do the same.
So slow, so much space to move in ... no ninja bullets (the mere memory ... it's all right, they are not here, none, no bullets, no ninjas, not here, not here, not here, ...). Thinking about it, did Seppo Hovi complete his no focus timeout with Youmu? Haven't been keeping up.

I've been lazy... strangely enough this always happens when I try to do something in EoSD - I seem to sense a pattern (out of 8 lunatic 1cc attempts five failed at Scarlet Gensokyo + the general 'quality' of EoSD = ouch, motivation where hast thou gone?). *sigh*

No, I have not. I've got up to three seconds of the card left for about a dozen of times now.

But I don't really have time to practice the card anymore. I run trough it two-three times a day nowdays, not really pushing towards the achievement. I quess Underscore will get it before me, he's about 1300 attempts behind me and has got to the three-second mark of DOOM (And butterflies. Don't forget the butterflies.) way more often than I have.

Have an image from my school's computer's score.dat. It's not comparable to the amount of tries I have at my home computer, but it's quite comedic anyway.

While I have no idea how fast the other people around cleared lunatic modes, it took almost one and half years from me to do it with my first Lunatic 1CC. So, yeah, I don't think there are many people better than you, at least not if you keep getting better and better this fast.

It took me a long while before I claimed my first Lunatic clear too. However, I don't think that has anything to do with skill but rather how much time it took for you to accumulate the skill. Keep in mind that there are various factors that can influence this. Being skilled is more the kind of results you can produce, how high a score you can collect, the insanity of the accomplishments you can pull off etc.

EDIT: A few more Fairy Wars runs today and another Gold Medal has been claimed. Sprinkle Piece I think its name is. The 2nd card Star uses. I still haven't managed her first. Its some sort of split attention thing that I'm usually pretty bad at. Though its not as bad as Doom's 2nd phase so I'm pretty close to Gold'ing it.

Also, a fun fact. I've 1cc'd Fairy Wars 75 times. Wtf?

My first lunatic 1cc was Imperishable Night and took me about 5 months from when I started.
5 months later and I'm still missing 4 of them (not counting PC-98)
Of course, the first 2 months were spent almost exclusively in IN spell practice because I got a score.dat with most of the stuff unlocked already-after 1ccing easy mode with max lives in ~5 tries.

On the subject of easy mode, a friend of mine who's started about when I did but doesn't play seriously has finally notched the achievement of a 1cc-IN on easy, Ghost Team, max lives.  Ended with a bomb, 3 or 4 lives going into Kaguya (when an earlier run had 8 lives and failed to Rainbow Danmaku)

While we're on this subject... Took me 6 months for my first Lunatic 1cc in SA. About 5 months after (aka now) I'd done all of them, including PC-98. So yeah, 4 months seems like it's pretty fast. :derp:

As for an actual accomplishment, I perfected SA stage 2 at 90fps, and also no-deathed stage 3. I think I can see this 1cc happening, as long as I don't screw up during the run. Orin's still a nightmare, but Okuu is surprisingly possible. I've actually captured Hell's Tokamak and Sub Sun in practice mode. :o

Still on subject. My first shot at lunatic anything was IN. All I care was I beat it (given it wasn't 1cc but still). Marisa eats the majority of my lives so this may stop my from the 1cc but oh well.

I progressed very slowly actually (well, relative to how fast people improve now). Took me three days or so to clear EoSD normal (as in, using all continues), a week to 1cc it, a month to clear my first extra, five months to clear my first hard, seven months to clear my first lunatic (though it was on max lives), and eleven months to clear my first lunatic on default lives.

Of course, from then on all bets were off.  :colonveeplusalpha:

While doing a random phantasm run, I somehow managed to clear the part with a bunch of fairies spamming a few blue larger bullets and a ton of smaller yellow bullets everywhere part while completely unfocused. It's likely not that big of a deal, but it did look pretty impressive.

It's probably not as weird as you think; I just don't post all my captures of the cards x3. I've unlocked all of them except Yukari's, Remilia's, Marisa's and Alice's. The only one I haven't captured out of those is Total Purification.

But I came here to say that I unlocked and captured Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana. Fun card.

I'm very worried about getting Marisa's unlocked, considering how long it's taken me to 1cc Hard on other games in the past. And with Reimu Solo, one of the weakest shot types. Remilia's will probably come next since I have more Last Spells to capture now I've played through Lunatic.

yeah, going through Lunatic does help the amount of last spells available a LOT (even mor helpful if 1cc because opf all of kaguya's spells.)

Decided to give Route A1 a break for now to experience something different so I went into A2 territory. A route that doesn't seem to have as many awesome cards for me to play with. Prism Flash, seriously? ZUN expect you to no-ice this? Right now, I can't see any way that would possible without luck though maybe you could do it with better skills than mine, idk. I won't attempt it seriously unless someone can demonstrate it. Which I doubt will happen.


Diamond Ring seems to involve some walls that based on RNG can screw you over really badly. Or at least that's what happened to me. The third one, Blue Deflection,  involves purple fireballs and blue bullets. I think this one can be handled through some epic Cave-style misdirection so I'll try for that. Sapphire's midboss card seems like her traditional QED-esque non-spells with aimed lasers. Got pretty close to golding it but failed. As for the boss of Stage 3... Can't say I'm a fan. They've got this Meteor attack thing that looks like I just need to be lucky that they don't shove something into me while trying to head around them. Ice Dissolver. Seems okay but has raped me pretty hard so far. But then I saw this Formless God video on Lunatic where he Golded it and I figured that I can do that too. Orion Belt. Fuck that noise.



So this route doesn't have as many awesome cards as Route A1 but Sapphire's take on Three Fairies is fucking amazing. I'm gonna head over there and play it again right now!

EDIT: Got Ice Dissolver. Not that hard once I approached it right.

You didn't see it as cruise control to begin with? It's not that difficult to dodge through a wall. (Namely one that could fit three and a half Reimu hitboxes/two Marisa hitboxes in those gaps.

Route A1
Prism Flash: Place yourself around 2/3 of the screen and uh, pray that the gaps line up nicely enough. Don't even bother
Diamond Ring is also luck-dependent. I guess you could read the bubble ring, see how much it offsets from the fireball ring, and determine a gap that goes through both.
Blue Deflection: Tight as hell. What is Cave-style misdirection ?
Midboss card: Same here. But you should totally
go for a timeout.
Triple Meteor is pretty possible to both capture and timeout. Streaming slowly at the corners should keep the screen relatively clear.
Fuck Orion Belt.
Oh, and Fairy Overdrive is godly. Timeout it !

By quickly moving to the edge of the screen while also moving a bit up. What you do when you are phased with more trickily aimed stuff. Its a technique that I often find useful in stuff like Mushi Futari with those fast aimed shots on Original. Its different to Touhou where its usually enough just to dash a bit to the side and turn the stream that way. But you should now all this stuff really.

Post by: qno2 on January 13, 2012, 02:44:21 PM
Actually did something, it's been awhile.

Shoot the Bullet Ultra
What I had before:
Level 1-5 complete
Level 6 everything except for Youmu's first (6-5 was annoying... hey guess what guys, remember when we talked about how Mamizou's overdrive was special for having bullets from two directions? Have them from 4 directions then! Replay doesn't even look like something, just me having luck [... I admit: that was my general strategy...])
Level 8-3 (loved the original, didn't live up to it though)

NEW:
- 7-5 (easier than the original, the path of the knives was easier to read), 7-6
- 8-8
- 9-3, 9-4, 9-5 (good to see that they kept true to the StB-Spirit: weird difficulty curves, ya gotta love them)
- 10-1 (wasn't too different; everything else on this level except for maybe 10-8 is ridiculous though)

52 scenes complete - 10 (silly me) 14 more to go - maybe I'll at least get to see the ultra-version of the extra scenes (since beating them is out of question for me). But... by now I've gotten rid of most of the easier stuff: the last 10 will be painful.

Kinkaku-Ji Ultra, someday... I've got a replay with your name on it, someday I'll beat you (... maybe)!

So many places where the run could have been ruined, but everything just worked. Even when I was watching my own replay it still didn't sink in until the last card that I had just perfected an Extra Stage.

Perfect "stage portion" of SA stage 3. (which makes no-deathing Yugi very reasonable)
Also no-deaths stage 4.
Both at 90fps in practice mode, but I think the stage 3 strategy will work regardless of starting power.

A little background here to explain my relative absence this past month, and the point of the replays below.

A few of you from #Ijiyatsu have heard parts of this story by now, but back in mid-December my hard drive started malfunctioning, and of course the computer as a whole became inoperable. The warranty for repairs comes from a place in NJ, so I sent it in to their tech guys over break. Naturally the repairs took much longer than the amount of time I was staying in NJ (visiting my parents for the holiday), and I needed to have this mailed back to me. When the repairs were finished, I learned that the HDD was completely fried, and I lost all my stuff (no backups, very stupidly ::)). After having no access to the games for so long, and having to reinstall them, I decided I'd go through all the modes again (for the games I still play, that is) to help get my skills back on track. Here's what I have so far:

PCB Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18106), Extra clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18107), and Phantasm clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18108).

IN Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18111) and Extra clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18112).

The rustiness, the rustiness. :V

When I have overlaps like this I'm going with the better one-which is usually the first.
IN lunatic: Ghost Team came first and has the fewest DURR moments, Border Team has Asteroid Belt+endboss Marisa, Magic Team has dat Kaguya fight (and 2 deaths to one Reimu nonspell) and Scarlet Team has Keine (4/5 spells captured, 2 nonspells derped)  Upload will be Ghost Team, unless people want to see all 4.
UFO extra: SanaeB vs. ReimuA.  better Nue fight capture-wise vs. better Nue resource-wise+1 life to spare?  SanaeB again, unless people want to see both.

That's expected. Full game replays for SA tend to desync at Utsuho if you start it at Stage 6. Try starting at Stage 5 and letting it run normally (as in, don't fast-forward), and it should work.

Then I managed to get through Stage 3 on my first attempt with 1 life left. Parsee > Oni

Guys, if you want to see what I DO pull off, you can check out my channel. I did make one Let's Play that was/is one episode (I might LP Hard/Extra), it was of Mountain of Faith and I think it went well. Problem was that the audio of the game and my voice kinda clash in audio volume levels.

If you really want to see it. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxoa1H735RA)

As for ACTUAL achievements, I managed to not die or bomb Kogasa's second card on Extra.

Tried to make a perfect run of TD normal with Reimu. Failed on last second of last Seiga's spellcard, but decided to proceed. Managed to get some stupid derps on Miko and 1CCd with one life left. But, well, at least it's a no bombs, no trance run. Gotta practice moar and do it with Marisa too.

SA Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18148) and Extra clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18149) (both with ReimuA).

UFO Extra clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18150).

geez I remember how clos ei cut my first UFO 1cc on normal. had no lives and no bombs at the end of Flying Fantastica. =D (I still fail SHou's fight on an epic level and can't cap Murasa's time out card for the life of me.)

StB Ultra, again (ZUN, can't you just release another StB? Who cares about the normal games? :V)

57 scenes done
NEW: 7-4, 7-8, 9-7, 10-2, 10-5 (extreme streaming, wheeeee~)

Close to finishing 7-3 but couldn't get the last picture in yet (and currently getting worse at it with each try, constant time-stopping screws with my head it seems). Might stroll over to the Spellcard-help topic for some input on the weirder ones ('Guilty or Not Guilty', what did they do to you? That just breaks my heart, your original was so great).

On a side note, the Umineko BGM is great for this losing battle as I bash my head against this wall.

Aside that I was obviously not entirely serious:
The rule that StB can only include "new" characters is a bit arbitrary (and has been broken, would you call Reimu, Marisa or Suika 'new' from DS's perspective?). Why not include old ones if he has an idea for Medicines (annoying) poison or for coins, giant fists, dolls, just wants to use that sprite again whatnot? Given he has ideas, there are just so many ways to make the player circle around the boss until all the pictures are taken...

Might as well reword my statement: eagerly awaiting the next one, whenever it pops up.

Actually more rage at myself than an accomplishment... well both, I guess, but since I'm already posting in here: gah Kinkaku-ji, I wanted to try just once. Yet I make it to the last phase on the first try tonight and died via running into the first bullet I could find; I was so surprised to be still alive that I had to end it myself if Kaguya doesn't feel like it. Yeah, I'll go with that, satisfying excuse. At least I had the initiative, that's my accomplishment! *sigh*
Obviously all the magic was gone when I tried again. Someday...

Yeah, if you must use Marisa for the extra stage, then lasers is the way to go.

My own accomplishment: I reached Subterranean Sun again in SA Lunatic 90fps. I think I only mentioned the other times in the rage thread or something, so I'll put this one here. It's an achievement dammit. I'm getting closer each time. Even the crap runs are reaching stage 6.

Looking at your 90 FPS extra list, you're missing GFW, UFO (both forgivable)...and PoFV.
I demand a PoFV 90 FPS extra clear!

Also, I just tried IN hard 90 FPS, and for added fun, default starting lives.
Captured Marisa's last spell and also 'captured' the Stage 6 death fairies.

Yeah you are right. There are also many characters that totally didn't receive justice from Double Spoiler like Satori; Why doesn't she do more Recollection'y stuff. Byakuren; Why does she suck in this game? Where were Lily White and the Prismrivers in StB? Those girls had some of the more interesting patterns in PCB and yet they are just left out like they are not important. Unlike Letty Whiterock. Oh and for the hell of it, throw in Koakuma and Daiyousei as a two scene long tutorial stage or something.

PS: I would call the inclusion of Reimu and Marisa new from DS perspective since they weren't part of StB. Suika, not so much.

In short, Give us Double Spoiler Black Label now. Faster, better, harder, cooler. If we can't have that, then produce two more shooters and give us Triple Spoiler. Oh and those two shooters better be harder than UFO. Please, I want to maintain my appreciation of this series but that's pretty hard nowadays.

Oh and accomplishments? A few more gold medals but that's just some simple Stage 1 ones'. Still poking at A2's more tricky bastards.

What we don't need is having half her stuff being pushover cards that doesn't do anything and isn't even all that interesting. Camera Shy Rose, seriously? And that Green one with the explosions isn't really the kinds of attacks that makes me think Satori when her gimmick is to recycle cards in a new and interesting manner. She could've taken a few spins on some of the more memorable scenes of StB.

The part where you intentionally take as small photos as you can to avoid getting raped my knives. Though I guess that's not that much of an exploit more than a way to make it feasible. I went back and checked and found out that it was harder than i remembered it to be so I guess you win on this one. Though, its still not as hard as the Red Rings of Doom phase.

No, because;

1: The game has become somewhat stale. Restricting my resources won't fix that.
2: Byakuren keeps wrecking me.
3. Clipdeaths
4. Unless ZUN pulls a 180 with the next release, growing my skills is probably gonna further hinder my ability to enjoy his works.  :V

EDIT: Well... I just tried it and I died twice on PSM. With SanaeB. With full power. But Formless, have you even considered how many bombs I can collect if I'm not picking up Reds?

Yeah well, there are other games in Touhou than UFO you know.  :V UFO is perfectly suited for the skills I hold right now but that also means that the rest of the series is too easy because of the gap in difficulty. If nothing else, I want TH14 to get back to UFO level difficulty so that I can join in on the fun of a new game too.

Nah, don't worry. I might take a few stabs at it but I'm not promising anything. I'm much more interested in playing Fairy Wars since I haven't played that game for that much time and still holds a lot of cards for me to try and capture.... plus these patterns are the some of the best in this series.

Another accomplishment turned tragic failure by Orin. I reached stage 5 with only one death. The death was of course to Satori's DBDB.
Then Orin tore me to freaking pieces. If I had simply been mashing the bomb button I would have done better. Next time, I suppose. Still reached Sub Sun and died during the last phase (again). But I can do this now. As long as I can avoid an act of unforgivable incompetence this clear is well within reach.

Got my hands on the PC-98 games recently, so I thought- 'Why Not'?

Got to Stage 3 on Eastern Wonderland, and found out there as no focus ~_~
Got to Elly on LLS... before dying just as I found out there WAS focus. I ended up continueing, and running out at Yuuka [Stage 5], and yes, I died to Elly's Scythe and Master Spark.

And I managed to 3 CC Mystic Square with Mima on my first try. Before noticeing it defulted to Easymodo  :3

Still an acheivement, considering I didn't die until Alice.

Still, I learnt what people mean by Byakuren being as much of a copycat as Marisa. All magic is rooted in imitation, like Martial Arts, I guess.

Congratulations. You did surprisingly fast.
Inspired by you, I have tried making the game run at 90FPS too and I'm surprised to see that it runs smoothly. I mean, there are a few framerate drops when I play the game normally so I figured it wouldn't have a chance of running at 90FPS but it seems to work just fine. I know nothing about computers.

Okay, so while I'm not too hot on the idea of going for a 1cc since that's gonna turn into an inevitable bomb spam, I'll just play some 90FPS for fun. Because, its actually more fun that I had imagined.

Got to Komachi on Normal PoFV with all 5 starting characters.

Then I got annoyed with Komachi's EX attack, and her habit of pulling out near constant Lv 4 attacks,and decided to do Lunatic with Reimu for the lols.

I got to Aya, who then proceeded to demolish me.

Which begs the question: Should I stop bothering with Normal and go right for Lunatic?

) so it felt good to capture it at 90FPS. I have tried a few stabs at it but I keep somehow thinking that I can position myself between bubbles at 90FPS like I can at 60FPS. Its usually with questionable results.

I'll try getting it tomorrow. There's gonna be this 1 hour 30 minutes gap between lessons that is perfectly suitable for trying stuff like this... and show off like crazy to your friends.

Which begs the question: Should I stop bothering with Normal and go right for Lunatic?

Yep. Might as well. I dunno too much about the game but a friend of mine says that the only difference between difficulties is the starting rank of the bosses. Whether or not that's true i dunno. However, i can tell you this much. A mutual quality of my Normal 1cc and Lunatic 1cc of the game is that I've been getting my ass kicked by Komachi and Shikieiki.

So yeah, go for Lunatic.

This almost completely.  I've noticed that the bosses survive longer on higher difficulties too, and there's more popcorn spam, and Lily shows up less (maybe due to Lv. 4 spam) and scoring is higher.
Also if you do go for lunatic I'd suggest Marisa because a friend of mine who spammed attempts with Komachi and Reisen cleared it in 4 tries with Marisa-and I got it in 4 tries with Marisa as well after failing about that many times with Reimu.
Of course if you just want a 1cc you can't beat using Aya (except you have to fight Medicine....ugh....)

Except you don't start off with Aya unlocked. You only have Reimu, Sakuya, Marisa, Youmu [Who sucks horribly, seriously her charge time...], and Reisen until you've beaten the game.

And, yeah, I generally die on Stage 6, 7 and Komachi, regardless of character or difficulty. [Well, I've not tried Easy...]

I looked at one of my replays, the the things the AI pulls off... wow. At one point, unless I missed something, it also clearly cheated, because Medicine was surrounded by Sakuya's Lv 3 spell, cornered, and without chargeing my spell, and some nearby random danmaku, vanished ._..

Considering she charged for a Lv 4 spell right afterwards dosen't help the case.

Happened to me as well with my recent accomplishment. And in response to your need for a challenge, I say do just that, SA Lunatic 90fps. :D


@Allosawyou: You can easily unlock all characters just by playing easy with continues, except for
Lunasa and Merlin
who require you to do a bunch of stuff. And yes, Aya and Medicine, particularly Aya, just turn the AI into an idiot. Use Aya and it's almost like you can't lose. Marisa and Reimu are probably the best of those few that you have though.
As for Medicine escaping by making danmaku vanish, you know that blowing things up clears away the nearby bullets right?

1-miss timeout of Mt. Ooe 90 FPS. Almost have it. I gotta say, this card... it's wild. I've also got a bunch of 2-miss timeouts but also a bunch of attempts where I just got pummeled to a bleeding pulp. Sometimes it just shows evil waves at you that are simply too fast and complex for me to read fast enough.

Sounds to me like Medicine took a hit, got the +charge for getting hit, and fired a level 4.
Stages 6-9 are fairly standard for dying on: although Stage 6 deaths are avoidable with enough skill.

Only those 5 characters?  I thought you started with 9 (add Tewi, Cirno, Mystia and Lyrica), but I had a score.dat someone used which had 8 of those cleared.

Four more 1-miss timeouts. I like how the majority of my failures are more due to lack of precision rather than lack of reaction time. And since my control of 90FPS Reimu is starting to get better, I think I'll have this timeout real soon!

EDIT: Add three more to that. One of them ending at 4 seconds left. Which is what, 2.5 in real time?

Try some ultra patched lunatics. I heard the one for Ten Desires 1.00c is pretty nuts. Also MB is pretty awesome, i must say. Trying now extra with Reimu and failing a lot.

My little accomplishment on the way to 1CC TD Lunatic. Finally made stage 4 in practice without deaths (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18253), capturing 3 of 4 spells (Tongling Yoshika is just too hard for me). As if i could do this consistently during the actual run :fail: I still enter stage 4 either with no bombs or not full power.

This one is enough of an accomplishment. UFO Extra 1-death run (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18252). As far as I can tell, it's the first time since my perfect run of the whole stage where I've captured every card. What sticks out more though is that I'm feeling more like my older self again. I'm much more comfortable when dodging the random attacks, and I'm doing it in ways familiar to me.

Managed to 2CC PoFV

Komachi decided to be a pain, and after a very tight fight, literally FLOODED the screen with EX attacks. As in, there was no room. At all.

I actually almost perfected Shiki when I beat her. Amazing how much of the stupid amounts of stuff that gets shot at you on that stage can be avoided by Streaming and spamming Lv 2 spells when you need to restream.

My plan now is to try and unlock characters so I can 1CC with someone more broken. Like Aya. Dear lord, Aya, why are you so broken <_<
Title: Re: Touhou Accomplishments - Unlucky 13th?
Post by: I have no name on January 21, 2012, 10:43:03 PM
Dear lord, Aya, why are you so broken <_<
Aya is broken because of how the AI dodges-it will only dodge bullet that are a few frames from hitting it.  Aya's EX attacks are fast as hell-easy to avoid for ahuman player, but the AI doesn't 'react' fast enough.  The same principle applies to Shikieiki's laser in her Level 4 (too wide) and Medicine's clouds (lower movement speed means not enough time after 'reacting')

I have now cleaed EoSD extra with all shot types-did ReimuA (3 deaths, 8 bombs, 7 captures) and saw I didn't do it with MarisaB.  So I did, with 3 deaths, 6 bombs, 7 captures.  Main difference is ReimuA death+bomb+bomb to Cranberry Trap.
God I hate Cranberry Trap.

Also pair of Maze of Love captures because it's trivial.

I managed to microstream the SA Lunatic opener fairies again, but with Marisa and from the bottom of the screen, it felt easier than no vertical with Reimu.
-edit-
And I did again no vert with Reimu but on ultra this time. Maybe the bullets were faster but I didn't really notice a difference.
-edit2-
Watching the replay from the ultra mode try made it obvious that ultra makes no difference in terms of bullet speed at least. I think it might be impossible with Marisa no vert, you can sort of squeeze between some waves, but depending on the angle you get killed anyway occasionally.

And then, after like thirty more tries, again. This time, though, I died because I actually noticed the beeping.

7 seconds.

It does actually make a difference. Not a big one but a difference it does. Like how diagonal movements are a bit slower and how you can get yourself into more favorable positioning through some fancy maneuvering.

Happy Chinese New Year guys!

Played a game of PCB Lunatic to prepare for a Hard mode 1cc.

I beat the game continuing just once! (On default lives!) Got to Components of Konpaku without continuing too! My gosh there were so many close moments in that run, I was down to my last life and no bombs at Alice midboss and down to 0 lives 2 bombs at the Prismrivers. The final part was really close to, dodging about 3 or 4 red waves of Resurrection Butterfly with no lives and no bombs while trying to get enough point items for a final extend. And I captured Lost Soul's Village. Now if only you could save replays for runs with continues.

Hard 1cc here I come!

And finally, after 9 months of Touhou, getting 1ccs on Normal for Touhous 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12 and 13 and completing 5 extra stages and 1 Phantasm stage.

My first 1cc of Hard goes to PCB! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18306)

The run was a lot more comfortable than my Lunatic 2cc, though nevertheless was a good run. Ended with 1 life, though it could have easily been 3 or 4 more had I not had stupid deaths on Alice and decided to screw it on Resurrection Butterfly. Comes with a capture of Sumizome Perfect Blossom too :)

Mt. Ooe Lunatic 90 FPS Timeout. I knew that if I kept at it, those 1-miss and 2-miss attempts would turn into a 0-miss one. And I was right. This was quite a fun challenge. Next time, I will dare myself into late-game territory and see what kind of 90FPS goodness/horrors awaits.

Damn straight! That spell is freaking wicked at that speed. As for late-game stuff, I find Peta Flare and Tokamak to be pretty fun, unless you were thinking of Orin. In that case... may the gods show you mercy.

I gave lunatic Remilia another fight today...and captured her first 2 spells.
For the first time ever.
In a row.
Then I proceeded to go dodge 4 waves of Scarlet Meister (would have captured if I was at full power) and then derp Scarlet Gensoyko, which I got down to 1/3 health before.
I can totally capture all of these spells.

And finally, after 9 months of Touhou, getting 1ccs on Normal for Touhous 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12 and 13 and completing 5 extra stages and 1 Phantasm stage.

My first 1cc of Hard goes to PCB! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18306)

The run was a lot more comfortable than my Lunatic 2cc, though nevertheless was a good run. Ended with 1 life, though it could have easily been 3 or 4 more had I not had stupid deaths on Alice and decided to screw it on Resurrection Butterfly. Comes with a capture of Sumizome Perfect Blossom too :)

Good job! I remember PCB being my first Hard clear :D

"I remember IN being my first Hard clear" because it's ridiculously easy to just bomb through everything.

It's still my only Hard 1cc. I'm 100% sure I can do EoSD, PCB and MoF. I was a lick away from the latter. The former two I simply do not have the patience for. :C

Stay in the bottom of the screen, in the center (just above the "e" in Enemy), to deal with the lasers, except the last pair which is aimed right at that spot; for those, go up into roughly the center of the screen. After that, stream to one side, create a gap in the streaming, cross back over to the center, repeat. This one's the closest thing to a memorization card Koishi has, so if you're having trouble visualizing the moves you need to make, try watching a replay and it should help.

I managed to pull off the safespot on Orin's third non-spell including safe transition from the previous spell and into the next. Also pacified the pellet hell but I was playing on Normal since it doesn't make a difference to the safespot.

No focused the pellet hell on normal, kinda harmless stuff. Managed to get 2/3 through the opener fairies no vertical with Marisa, so that is definitely possible   :V

In my opinion then that is good. It took me 150+ tries to capture that card.

Anyway, PCB Hard 1cc with Reimu B! It's been a while since I tacked this and the run was actually really bad with loads of fuckups in the beginning and the end (Resurrection Butterfly) but I did it after a bunch of restarts. That's Hard cleared with both Reimu shottypes. I'll probably work on Sakuya next.


Also I just did a really good Extra run and captured Kokkuri-san for the first time. The only card left for me to capture in this stage is Unilateral Contract.

I don't see what is memo about her heart-spells either. Id, Super Ego and Embers all just require you to move out of the way of the bullets. No reason to memorize them whatsoever. Same thing for her 2nd card.

Really, Koishi isn't very much memo. Just not very hard.

This was kind of a random thing and wasn't horribly hard. It's just me settling a score with the ghost wheels of bs, since, actually, this was my first time capturing the card, and the first time perfecting the fight as a result. :V

Because that spell favors unfocused movement.

Also, I spontaneously played IN extra with Magic Team, derped Keine's first and last, died after dodging the death fairy, deathbombed Mokou's opener, and proceedde to NDNB the rest of the fight until the rings of death, which I died to with 3 bombs in stock and then horribly derped Fujiyama Volcano before capturing the last 2.
and failing Imperishable Shooting, but whatever.

I'm pretty sure the layouts in each wave of Rorschach are the same. Koishi's movements would shift things around a bit of course.

As for an actual accomplishment, the best I got right now is finding out how to freeze larger portions of the screen in GFW Route C Stage 1 (without resorting to bombs, mind you). Doesn't change the fact that stage is still annoying to play though.

Fighting Eirin on Lunatic with Magic Team. I captured Apollo 13 and her last card which I can't be bothered to look up the spelling of.
Granted, these were both with the Malice cannon but I don't think it makes that much of a difference on Apollo 13; from what I remember you only have to survive 2 waves before capture. The other one, however, is made trivial because of how Malice destroys familiars.

I've said that before but this time I actually mean it. :derp: I feel like I'm getting somewhat bored with them, and I don't want that to happen, so it seems like a good idea to stop for a bit. When I start playing again I'll probably go for a Chiyuri 1cc, or if that proves too difficult, some other random 90FPS stuff, but I'll see about it then, I guess.

MoF Lunatic No-bombs 1cc!  :D

This 'try once every day practice' really seemed to help. I was able to shave a few really dumb deaths off so I cleared. I still made a lot of dumb mistakes but I'm still pretty proud of it. I'd say that next up is SA but I'm a little too inconsistent at Stage 5 for my own good. I think I will juggle back and forth between IN No-bombs and SA No-bombs.

Oh and for what it's worth, MoF was harder to do no-bombs than Ketsui no-bombs 1-ALL was. And I was obviously raped by a red haze of unavoidable-without-planning bullets... but we shall not whine about that here.

MoF Lunatic No bombs 1cc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cc9-MCmWyNA) is up. Awesome video with awesomely fail mistakes scattered around. It displays the performance of thoroughly understanding the patterns of a Touhou game but with loads of bugs in my performance. It's of course also outfitted with commentary about things. So you can probably learn something from it if you are an up n' coming Lunatic player.

Pulled off another UFO Extra Stage perfect run (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18386), which is pretty cool. Also had one of my best runs at UFO Stage 6 Lunatic in a while, two deaths total (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18387). I'm making some definite progress here.

MoF Lunatic No bombs 1cc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cc9-MCmWyNA) is up. Awesome video with awesomely fail mistakes scattered around. It displays the performance of thoroughly understanding the patterns of a Touhou game but with loads of bugs in my performance. It's of course also outfitted with commentary about things. So you can probably learn something from it if you are an up n' coming Lunatic player.

You are welcome. My recommendations have always lead people to happier lives. If you could just remind me what exactly I recommended you to do then you would improve mine as well.
Unfortunately, you only mentioned that it'd be a relatively simple Last Word. No tips were given in the comment you posted last summer. D:

Edit: I gave IN's Extra another try and I made it to Mokou's survival card again. I also caught her first card for the first time in quite a while along the way.

15 extras to go.

Oh, I perfected the fight to Rorschach, which I double KOed after 3 bombs, died twice to Genetics (once with 2 bombs immediately after the first death), 1 bombed the second survival and got my first ever capture of Subterranean Rose.

Yeah you can really cheese the game by not playing it the way you're supposed to play it. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgJ4icb9vKw)

Tried a run out of curiosity, and while it's not as hard as I remember it being (probably something to do with it being a year since I last played it lol) it's still pretty hard. Got  Yumemi down to half a hearth, 59 million no cheesing.

There're still a bit of stupid luck involved though, especially in the later levels. If the AI sends a boss when you just happen to have no bombs or charge you're pretty much fucked if they keep throwing their impossible to dodge attacks.
I once dodged everything for 5 minutes straight without getting hit and then died within 10 seconds.
It's not so much an issue with boss Chiyuri as your charge recharges so fast because of the tons of shit going on, but Yumemi especially.

So I got a no-focus no-bombs 1CC of Marine Benefit on Easy. I was initially trying for a no-focus perfect, but there's a few attacks that make that beyond me. (Why the hell is Megumi's second boss spellcard harder on Easy than on Normal? And I'm not talking by a small margin, I'm talking "it may be harder on Easy than it is on HARD".)

Also, is Stage Practice borked for everyone, or is it just me? When I try it, I literally cannot die, even when I'm actually trying to die. Obviously, this makes stage perfects pretty meaningless.

So maybe clearing all extras with all shot types is stupid because I reached the Marisa types in SA. 
Or maybe not because I just cleared with MarisaB.

Post by: Alpha Werewolf on January 29, 2012, 09:08:06 AM
Oh hell yeah.

So yesterday I finally cleared EoSD again - haven't been Touhouing for a year or so. I jumped back to EoSD for a moment because practicing PCB was getting boring and frustrating. The run was nothing special, and after giving the Extra a few tries (I can do everything up to Laevateinn, with the exception of Patchy's Silent Selene and Philosopher's Stone  which are a bit random and prone to panic/deathbombing) I decided I'm done for the day.

Moving on back to PCB, I decided to just do a run, and, well...
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18443

The first three stages were standard. The Prismrivers were far worse than usual, but I decided to just bomb through them anyway, figuring I'll practice the fight later. The stage was pretty bad, too, as I forgot the easy way to dodge most of it.

Stage 5, however, was the best run I have ever done. Starting the stage at 3 lives, I gained 2 more in the stage itself, and only used up a grand total of 1 life and 1 bomb, both on the same spellcard. Everything else, I managed to either dodge, or dodge with the assistance of a broken border (which was the real reason I managed to win; Breaking borders by myself, rather than when I get hit).

The final stage wasn't special, though I'm rather proud of it nonetheless; I dodged the swords nonspell, for one, and I did reflowering 30% with no lives and two bombs, total (the last bomb used was probably unnecessary, but I used it just in case).

PCB 1cc complete: No lives or bombs remaining!

In one of the options menus, I don't remember if its the one in your game folder or if its the Options menu in-game, you should see an option called matchless. That one is either turned on or off. Switching it to the opposite should make hit detection work in Practice.

Then I unlocked Cirno and Mystica.

I used Cirno, because, you know... it's Cirno.

Cleared with my first use of Cirno, although I had to use 1 continue [Had to use all 3 with Marisa, and 2 with Reimu], I beat Shikieiki with all my lives intact on the first try after continueing.

Not to mention beating Yuuka on my 2nd attempt... when I'd never faced her before at all.

Maybe ⑨ is the strongest after all

Somehow I doubt that-it's not nearly as bad as it seems.  just set lives to max, and cruise control through the game.  If you could do it with Border team, you can do it with solo Reimu.

So I've decided to start slashing away at the PoFV extras, raged at Sakuya a bit, then went and won with Youmu by not dying until Komachi.
4th round Shikieiki, with the 2nd and 3rd being facebullets, but I still won.

Trust me, I've tried this several times. Reimu's shots are too weak and endurance isn't my strong point at all. Also you have to fight Marisa who takes away 2+ of my lives. The farthest I've got with this is up to Life Spring Infinity.


Actually, I've never 1cc'd Hard with the Border Team before even with max lives. I've managed it with the Netherworld Team but maybe I should try Reimu and Yukari.

Both of those things also apply to the Netherworld Team. I'm surprised you think you can't do this. If you've been unlocking the other Last Words and capturing them then this shouldn't be too hard. And you say the farthest you got was Lifespring Infinity... well that's practically the end isn't it?

She still have to go through Hourai Jewel and that takes forever with Border Team. In addition to being Hourai Jewel.

But yeah, I'm sure you can do it Glimmer. If Marisa is taking 2 lives then you still have loads of additional lives to clear the game with. Especially if you start out with 7 starting lives. You should go try it again and if you don't suceed then make sure to save and post the replay. Perhabs I can give you a few tips.
Title: Re: Touhou Accomplishments - Unlucky 13th?
Post by: MTSranger on January 30, 2012, 12:50:21 AM
^ Agreed.
Besides, like 5 bombs should neuter Hourai Jewel pretty easily. Just bomb every time you have to switch directions :V
Which means that unless you are entering the last spell with no lives at all, you should clear the game.

That was my strategy to beating Kaguya on lunatic anyways. At the time I had absolutely no skill to capture any of her spells reliably, much less the hated Hourai Jewel :derp:
Title: Re: Touhou Accomplishments - Unlucky 13th?
Post by: Skyler on January 30, 2012, 01:40:42 AM
Bear in mind I said Marisa takes 2+ lives. 2 is the minimum, she takes away 3 or 4 sometimes. And then there's the entire of stage 5 and almost all of Reisen, and Kaguya's cards which have a habit of killing me when she has barely any health left.


But I'm sure I'll be able to do this eventually. I'll just abuse spell practice and hope everything works out when I give it another shot.

Finally got my perfect PCB Extra (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwNp5IH1nFs) uploaded onto Youtube.

Fraps can't record anything longer than ~140 seconds, and VirtualDub just plain sucks. I used Camtasia for this, which worked, but it's a little...choppy, I guess is the word?

So yeah, advice on how to better record things would be helpful. Especially before Camtasia's 30 day trial runs out, because I'm a cheapass. :V
Title: Re: Touhou Accomplishments - Unlucky 13th?
Post by: Zil on January 30, 2012, 05:58:41 AM
What's wrong with VirtualDub? Just throw the pieces in and they come out as one thing. Also, if you lower the framerate that Fraps records at you can reduce the file size and and get a longer video, but I think you'd have to go pretty far to fit a whole extra stage in one thing. That shouldn't be needed though since VirtualDub shouldn't hurt the quality that much.

Maybe it's something to do with my comp, I don't know, but when I try VirtualDub it utterly kills the quality. I tried combining the two Fraps videos of my perfect Orin, and wound up with the beginning looking more like a series of pictures than a video, and the sound was a garbled mess, and on top of that the filesize was beyond ridiculous. I deleted the file so I don't remember exactly, but it was exponentially greater than the first Fraps video, which contained roughly 90% of the fight.

So, yeah, unless I can find some sort of fix for it, I'm not using VirtualDub.

Oh right I forgot about that. :derp: Well, when I use it the videos come out unwatchable. They're fine for a few seconds and then what you just described happens. I think it's because the file is too big for the computer to play it properly or something (I'm not a computer guy). Once I put them through Megui and the file is much smaller they play perfectly, so I'd say try to just go through with the rest of the process, assuming you're following the guide on this site. I don't think there's anything wrong with the video itself; the computer just can't play it right when it's like that.

But I still shove it through VirtualDub which makes a stupidly huge file that my computer won't even play; once I shove -that- through MeGUI it comes out like the video here.

All right, I'll give Megui a try. Thanks for the advice.

But in the meantime...CAT'S WALK TIMEOUT! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoLFIGzGjOs) That's my most hated Normal mode card in the entire series (to the point where I sometimes time out Orin's nonspell just to skip it), so pulling that off was unbelievably cathartic.

EDIT: And with a big thanks to Esupanitix whose method for doing the card I blatantly ripped off from the 1CC posted earlier. So obvious I can't believe I didn't see it myself.

Holy divine spirits :o I've did it. Finally... Ten Desires hard no bombs 1CC with Marisa (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18471)  8)

Since my first TD hard 1CC wich was mostly bombfest i wanted to do this game "with style", so i aimed for no bombs run. This turned out pretty hard and took me more than two months and countless attempts to pull off. Though TD is the easiest touhou ever, it offers player just a few lives. The only hope for non-pro-skilled player like me is trance, but it also might be used for getting those lives along with surviving tough places. So the whole mess was about making a perfect routes for every stage (and alternate routes if something goes wrong), resource management and balance between trancing for lives and for survival. Still TD is at least one step easier than other games, cause the only no bombs i did before was EoSD normal.

Maan.. i cant beleive i finally did it. Now let's 1CC regular lunatic.

I started hacking away at the PoFV extra shot types left, and managed Youmu, Reisen, Cirno and Tewi.
Sakuya, Lyrica, Mystia, Aya Yuuka and Medicine to go for PoFV
MarisaA and MarisaC to go for SA
ReimuB, MarisaB and SanaeA to go for UFO
Sanae to go f r TD.

Most of thse PoFV extra runs finished with 3 lives-and I amassed 6 at once with Reisen ;V

IN Stage 6A Lunatic 1D2B run (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18475) (via deathbombing).

As far as I can remember, this is my best stab at the stage so far. The third nonspell really shat in my face this time, and my tired state did nothing to help me through it. I made a legit mistake on Apollo 13 though. I could tell I was going too far down from where I normally dodge it. But it feels good to finally recapture Astronomical Entombing, something that's been a thorn in my side for a while now.

Marine Benefit Normal 1CC with SanaeC. FUCK YES, NEVER AGAIN.

It's clear just how much that shottype was tested, because in the last spell, that bubble you're supposed to stay in? When you're using SanaeC it doesn't grow like it's supposed to. Meaning you're supposed to be dodging aimed metal fatigue bullets while staying in a bubble that's quite seriously smaller than Sanae's sprite. Most definitely not bullshit, that.

At least I was smart enough to bombspam the last boss, to the point where the music didn't even loop because it was over so fast.

It is possible to do, just stay close to the boss. Shouldn't take more than 2 lives to pull off.

And whatever you do, DO NOT BOMB THE CARD. That was my mistake during my 1CC. I just tested it in Stage Practice and that's why it got as small as it did - it shrinks slowly enough that you can finish Mikoto off before it really gets bullshit, if you just shotgun and focus. Chances are you'll die, but it's the last spell so that's not a huge deal. Of course, if you go in with 0/X stock, you're pretty much fucked.

First few stages were pretty bad, made up for it with all the rest. Most notable derp moment is losing a second life (with full bombs) to the Prismrivers' finale. Highlight was a "capture" of RB, but the useless border break at the beginning kind of ruined that. :V

Got to the end of Stage 5 with ReimuC (Subterranean Animism), and let me tell you SatoriC (Also known as Komeimaru to me (Komeiji + Bunbunmaru, the company Aya owns/works for)) is quite fun. I love her second spell (Second spell in the case that Recollection doesn't count, actually) most of all. It is super fun to me, you gotta be good at macro dodging though and for the love of god don't stop shooting on that card unless you've got enough coordination to 1cc the game without focusing. The third card, however, is painful. It contains bullet spirals, which I HATE. (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA INTERSECTING BULLETS I CAN'T DO ALGEBRA THAT FAST IHGIOQWEHGIOEHGWEHGOIWEHGTSWEIOGTHWEIONGWIOEGTH) But seriously, those things are fucking messes. If you can actually do that card consistently, I will come to your house and <REDACTED DUE TO NSFW CONTENT>.

I love using ReimuC. She's so fun to use, and her speed ability's good for item collection.

SA MarisaC extra clear!
Died 4 times, right before capturing Koishi's first spell, Superego, right at the end of a perfect Genetics timeout (double KO), and right after the bomb ran out on the second survival.

FOR ONCE DIDN'T DIE TO RORSCACH  :D

Oh, and now I can add the musical extra clears for PoFV.
Still have Sakuya, Aya, Medicine and Yuuka to go for that game, and MarisaA for SA, and MarisaB+SanaeA for UFO and Sanae for TD.
8 extras remain to clear-but the worst 3 are yet to come!

EDIT:
Sakuya down by way of cheesing later rounds by shooting only a little bit to keep the timer going down.
7 remain, 2 of which are annoying. (hint: Marisa+Marisa)
Did Medicine.  ironically PoFV is only missing the slowest and fastest characters-and Aya, my first lunatic clear, will likely by my last extra clear.

SA Stage 5 Lunatic 1 miss no bombs.

I got really close to perfecting this stage. The death was against Orin's first spellcard and it was a pretty dumb one too. I was basically just there and misjudged a little white bullets path and got hit which is pretty embarassing because Orin isn't really a hard boss for me. But still, 1 miss no bombs is still good i think so I'll put it here.

Well, it is actually just a No Deaths/No Bombs run, I still did use Trance. This was my first attempt at that too, so I can say it was a success. In case someone wonders why is the slowdown rate 5.4%, my game tends to drop its FPS slightly during certain parts, namely Futo's "Oomonoimi's Dinner" and Miko's third nonspell. ^^;

Holy shit! This puts my no bombs run to shame. Though, i've got only one forgivable death of five :fail:. And you did it on the first try, while i spent like over hundred attempts till succeeded orz. Of course, to call it legit "Perfect" you need at least to capture all spellcards. And in case of Ten Desires i consider no trance too, cause it makes this easy game much easier. But still that was huge success, dude ;)

One question: why have you tranced Guze Flash? It's one of the easiest Miko's attacks, while the next one is the hardest and easy to fail, so it seems better to keep trance for it  ::)

Post by: Shadow on February 02, 2012, 06:34:48 AM
While I doubt I could try the same without using Trace and succeeding, thank you. ^^

The reason as to why I tranced Guze Flash is that my fast-bullet-type dodging becomes more erratic as I get further in the game, with the tension and doubt of success rising. ^^; Despite it being a completely rotatory-static pattern, I decided to take no risks here and instead proceeded to Honour the Avoidance of Defiance which I could handle pretty easily. I hope this answers your question.

Except that it really ISN'T the easiest. Guze flash is fucking hell in my opinion, my eyes aren't good at following colors that move that fast. The next attack, I can say is actually rather easy to me, possibly her third-easiest card.

Oh. That's probably the matter of preference. I'm much better at macrododging fast patterns than at micrododging slow. For me Guze Flash is ridiculously easy (just stay at the right height and dodge left-right no vertical) and Honour the Avoidance of Defiance is the hardest attack in the game - it always tend to wall me with lasers leaving almost no space to dodge amulets >_< i mean just look at that!

That isn't really a very good example since you had plenty of room to dodge. You simply got hit by a bullet that you weren't aware of.

Except this run is far better than the one I did before in basically every way (except derps: this run has more derps)
Spell captures:
S1: 3/3
S2: 2/4 (bombed first and third, 8 seconds were spent on the midboss spell)
S3: 3/4 (derp on the final spell cost me a perfect Yuugi)
S4: 2/4 (Terrifying Hypnotism is terrifying, DBDB deathbomb)
S5: 0/5 (tried for Orin's 3rd as a boss...died)
S6: 1/6 (went for Subterranean Sun because 5 lives in stock, failed.  Captured Utsuho's 3rd spell.)\

MoF Hard 1cc. Another one of those things that should have happened long ago.

And really, this run reminded me of probably the only reason there is to hate MoF: how bombs break the game. This was a pretty bad run by my standards, and the only reason I cleared was because I bombed most of the spells successfully and, uh, didn't die. I mean really, I bombed Minoriko's last, lost a life to Hina, bombed all of Nitori / Aya, died to Aya's OPENER and died to one of the fast homing yellow balls in Stage 5. I only captured like one spell from Sanae and Kanako each. And this run cleared regardless, while runs that had me capture 10 times as many cards didn't.

Expecting to get a EoSD Hard 1cc soon. It's the other thing that should have happened long ago but didn't.

Just attempted SA Lunatic, and got all the way up to midboss Orin.

For comparison, my last Lunatic attempt didn't make it to stage 5...and that was PCB Lunatic.

(also capping Knock Out in Three Steps on my first try at the Lunatic version was pretty sweet)

IN Lunatic 1cc! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18537)  I honestly wasn't expecting to pull this off today given how long it's been since I played, but when I made it to Hourai Jewel on my second credit I just had this feeling that today was the day.  A couple dozen stage 2/3 restarts later, and here it is!

Meanwhile: not so an accomplishment, but i've tried SA normal for a first time and have been stopped by Orin's Ghost Wheels.

The wheels are aimed based on your position. Just move left and right somewhat. It makes it so much easier on you in the long run.

Good Job!

Maybe I should try lunatic?
Definitely.
If you can beat hard with that many lives left, then lunatic should be perfectly doable.
I started really practicing for lunatic after I got good enough to spam continues to pass stage 5.
The 1cc came soon after.

Of course, given my bad dodging skills, there was lots of resource management - much of the bombs were planned, for example, to get through stage 4 with 1 death and stage 5 with 2-3 deaths (except in the real 1cc run I derped and died 4 times). As long as none of the stages eat lots of lives in a row (used to be stage 5, for me), 1cc should be quite doable.

So I just 1CCed Ten Desires on Normal with Marisa...while in my college classroom. Progress, hit pause, take notes, repeat until clear. And despite no sound and a ton of mental distraction, finished 3/0.

Clearly I'm a great student and will get straight A's. Or something.  :V

Lol I did that like 2 months ago and it was a new high score for me at the time. Although I didn't take notes during my run so I guess it's not quite the same.

PERFECT PCB EXTRA STAGE! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18547)
This was sort of random, but considering I can capture basically everything Ran has consistently...it was only a matter of time.
Red Oni Blue Oni was the brick wall here, Charming Siege ended only 2 of the 5 runs that got there.

I managed to do a 1cc Hard run of Imperishable Night just about an hour ago.

I spent the past hour pinching myself to see if it was a dream or not.
Let's just hope Keine doesn't hate me too much to change the history and therefore make it so I didn't actually complete it.

Decided to time out Avian Danmaku Transformation (Mamizou's third card) out of boredom.

Took me 1 try.

And another result of boredom: 1D TD Normal Stage 4 Pacifist.

Death was on Tongling, of course. It was pretty unfortunate.

Parts of the stage portion were surprisingly fun~.

Wow, serious congrats.

That reminds me, I need to time out Red Oni Blue Oni.

Yeah. That waves of fairy rush after midboss are pretty cruel if not shooting.

hmmm was trying to aim for a PCB Extra perfect, but i can't be assed, so it ended up being a no death which is good enough, mixed in with some scoring, was very close to 900mil.
