For example, I was playing Yuka against Youmu. Youmu got an automatic L4 attack and her boss started throwing the aimed knives at me. I somehow managed to actually go through the straight line of knives. No idea how that happened but it was amazing and I will likely never be able to do it again.
It's just amazing how well-defined those particular knife hitboxes are. :VFix'd, or Sakuya would be easy.
how the hell did I capture QED on my second attempt^ or maybe it was my third attempt. its been a while so i can't remember
I forget exactly what I was doing but I can't use a bomb when focusing and moving left. I was in the middle of a Sakuya Eternal Meek storm and was about to use a bomb. I let go of focus and start mashing X while moving up and left sporadically unfocused.I still do that, forgetting that I don't have bombs and rushing forward to do more damage.
I forgot I had zero bombs. I went from the bottom right 2/3rds of the screen to the upper left 2/3rds unfocused random movement then focused and went back to the bottom middle and captured it.
And I'm a newb. My hands were shaking from that. >.>

I was like.... what? I moved in that position and thought 'moving now would mean certain death, but... what should I do then? Other than staying still... o wait the card already ended and I didn't even dodge yet'.
I swear that sometimes I'll just pass straight through the center of an amulet without anything happening... And other times, the hitbox will seem to be the ENTIRE bullet <_<;Well, if you advance towards the bullet with a speed of x p/f while the bullet has a speed of y p/f towards you and the hitbox of the bullet is z pixels, then you have a chance of

One of those runs where you realize you messed up destroying the fairies and would restart anyway if you let the entire group get away or have the border break, but continue to blindly fly straight across the screen without a scratch. The extend right during that may have triggered some short invulnerability phase which I highly doubt.
How did I not catch the spelling error on that? I should trash the submission on the spot.
Insaaaaaane.It's a military secret.
By the way, why is the high score censored?

Reimu uses a coat of bullets to keep her warm during the cold winter.
Totally more difficult than "VoWG" timeouts.
If you haven't yet learned to take your eyes off your hitbox, it's a useful skill to learn.
I very much doubt this is how you are supposed to do 10-1. Though it still works. (http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/5760/dodgingthembullets.png)This is exactly how you do this actually

Nothing more needs to be said.
Hey I did it like this.
Can you laugh at me kthx
I can laugh at ya. How much I laugh depends on how many times you had to die to make it work. :/Seventy-something.
Seventy-something.
Also, on Mokou's Fire Bird - Flying Phoenix, every once in a while I'll somehow find a gap in between the bullets that make up the phoenix.Also in Mokou's LW, Pheonix Rebirth. I love to do it.

I survived this.
I have no idea how.
Sitting in the middle of the fist pound works reliably, and it's part of my strategy to sit in the middle and ignore the fists completely so I can focus on lasers and bullets.
How the FUCK did I manage to get into that ring? I survived afterwards by taking a photo. But what the hell? I went straight through that bullet fortress the arrow goes through.
That seems to be oddly common on that card, actually. I think I ended up inside at least 3 (although I don't know if I was ever in a position to escape them again successfully). Probably helped by Aya's unfocused speed, and the sheer number of rings flying around across all the attempts.Ye I noticed the same, but usually I went through the lesser dense part.
^ or maybe it was my third attempt. its been a while so i can't rememberThe very first time I made it to Q.E.D., I had one life and no bombs left. I made it until Flandre's health bar was almost out before dying. Since then, I've never been that lucky. (Or maybe it's just because I now make it to that spell card with plenty of bombs and I use them in fear of dying :V)

watch video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21zQBU7MYw4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21zQBU7MYw4)
Linked to the wrong video, bro.Note to self: don't post at night

To my knowledge, Touhou games' hit detection work as follows:
1. Calculate new positions 1/60th of a second later for everything that moves.
2. If any of the new hitbox positions overlap, that counts as a hit. (Note that the game does not interpolate any positions in between the before and after positions.)
3. Repeat every frame.
I don't get how else hit detection would work. People always say ZUN's hit detection sucks balls, but I don't see how to make that system better.Well, calculating it on a frame-by-frame basis is perfectly fine, and doing it any other way would cause massive lag. His hit detection can be screwy in other ways, though - sometimes he uses square hitboxes for round bullets, or the sprite is off-center (God's Rice Porridge), or the lasers have hitboxes bigger than their sprite. These problems are mostly evident in Double Spoiler.
And that's why you use MarisaC. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qv0UT01SN1U#t=7m25s)
I don't get how these dodges are lucky, the hitboxes are just that small :V
Marisa C is too cheap. 4 Froththrowers on VoWG literally ends the card before all the walls appear.
Just remembered this upon rewatching my A-2 lunatic 1cc of Fairy Wars.
Final boss' third spell card,

for reference. I was on my last life, had a bomb that I refused to use, and was cornered by Star moving up. I froze, which had just enough charge to let me move down into the inside of where the bullets spawn. Due to you being trapped here and the bullets from Luna and Sunny, this is a death zone. I ended the attack from the damage from the omnidirectional shot (very very weak for the uninformed), and somehow managed to avoid the revenge bullets which came from point blank. Don't think I'll ever be able to replicate that.

So, where does the Master Spark hitbox actually start?
Supposedly, the white part, but I'm still iffy :ohdear:
I quite like this one...I've got something like that for PCB extra. (though it isn't random movements, but luck) I would like to put it up on youtube, but I'm waiting on a friend. He was the one that played it (whom lives 3 houses down the street) and isn't very good, but had some luck on that run.

EoSD. While on Sakuya's last spellcard on Normal, she stopped time just as a knife was just about to hit Reimu. I realised I wouldn't have any time to dodge it, but while re-arranging the knives she turned it around so it pointed away from me.In Soviet Gensokyo, bullets dodge you?

You know the pink bullet spam in stage six of SA which you're supposed to stream?That replay won't be messed up. It just desyncs with stage 6. Try loading up stage 5 and watch all of that and let the replay continue on to stage 6 and it should be fine. (preferably without fast forwarding)
I once failed to stream, and then I just went to the side, slowly streaming up, then somehow going left and down without getting hit. It even turned out to be my first winning run of Normal.
I do have a replay file, but it's all messed up and shows me dying for some reason.
It's not just desync. Reimu just randomly starts to go to a single place where she gets hit and she doesn't move, which is not at all like my run went.Can you upload the replay? I would like to see this myself. :)
Fujiwara no Mokou : Forgiveness 'Honest Man's Death'. I got hit by the laser and didn't die. I don't even get this....If you moved toward it right after it spawned (and made that laser sound) then you're supposed to survive. That's the point. The laser only gains a hitbox when it reaches the spot where you were at when it spawned. Anytime before, it won't hit you. Just make sure you don't go the other direction.

Why is that happening? Is that a bug or did ZUN made that on purpose?ZUN definitely did it on purpose; the card is basically impossible otherwise. The hint is in the name of the spell card. :)
Now I can clear IN's Extra, 'cause after I survived that one, I died on the next strike and I got confused on how to dodge that, thanks!
The hint is in the name of the spell card. :)'Honest Man's Death'. Yeah, people who didn't look for hints and tried until succeeding without help will never survived that spell card.
Why is that happening? Is that a bug or did ZUN made that on purpose?Obviously on purpose, hence "Honest Man's Death" :V
Oh, and there is actually a way to dodge it without going through the laser, but it's really hard.How? I wanna try
