Title: THE GAME CHEATED!! - Touhou Rage Thread #17
Post by: Mero on February 04, 2016, 12:58:29 AM
If I remember right, 1000 replies was supposed to be bump limit, so...
Last thread. (https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,15166.0.html)

This is the place where you complain about cute anime girls and/or try to convince others you didn't just die to something dumb.

I recently got back to playing DDC. Fun game, or at least it is when you're not rusty as fuck, Kagerou decides to shit on you and leaves you with no lives and you die to a stray laser in stage 4

"The game cheated"

Just like the FineBros, I have trademarked that phrase

I will be taking you to court for stealing my line.

Anywaaaaaaaaay. UFO has been giving me lots of pain recently. Ichirin is hard.

Grinded runs for ~3 hours because I couldn't get a decent stage 1. Got off stage 1 once in that time but that run was completely awful. I had 4 deaths and was on Keine so I just gave up. Then finally get another run to go past stage 1. Mediocre stage 1, terrible stages 2 and 3 (I must have dropped 13-14k time by this point...), bad stage 4, bad stage 5, good stage 6 until I failed half past 4 again. Seriously have no idea what the fuck I'm supposed to do with half past 4 because apparently almost 1500 captures of it in practice isn't enough to cap it once in a run. Really haven't got a clue how to fix it, I can do it fully reaction based or just time the movement to get out of the centre in practice with basically no trouble. In runs, I'm always either too early if predicting, too late if reacting and if I do manage to get the right timing, I don't move far enough. Someone please tell me how I can get out of this hole and cap it in a run because I now have almost no motivation to play. I've now gotten to the point where I get extremely nervous when getting to half past 4 and that ruins my timing even more. I have no idea why I was so nervous on this run because whether I capped it or not, it's a terrible score for me.

The run ended 4.94b, glad I spent so long for that train wreck.

Play a different category or a different game altogether. Take a break. If you're at a point where everything is just a painful and slow grind and you don't think you're close, then it's best to try something else (or maybe not play at all at least for a while).

Thanks for the suggestion but I basically just came out of a period where I was barely playing. Got a total of 16 clears in December/January and didn't play on most days simply because I had no motivation. Hourai Jewel is giving me that motivation right now and I'm gonna try and do fewer clears but learn/improve my route since I guess a better potential score will give me motivation. I don't think I'm far from a PB either, or at least I wasn't before. In November got a mean score of 5.28b but Dec/Jan both were 5.15b. Also, I rust really easily so I don't think a break is a good idea.

I ended up brute forcing Half Past 4; did 130 captures of it in practice and finally capped it in a run. Sad part is I basically stopped caring about everything except Half Past 4 for that run. Skipped most of the practice I do before a run (which cost me a First Pyramid capture and meant I  did poorly on Firefly Phenomenon), kept going from a shoddy stage 1 and then didn't really care that the run was bad. The stages were all mediocre at best except for stage 5 which flopped a lot.  5 deaths total, run ended 5.11b. Oh well. Curse lifted and all that crap.

I've been trying to get Phantasmagoria Trues Unlimited for like six months now.  And, just now (1400 or so attempts in), I had this really, really phenomenal run.  I started choking a bit near the end of Area 4, but enough things were going right that I definitely wanted to keep the run.

I proceeded to die six times to Shinki.  The score turned out to be only slightly higher than my previous best (most of your score in this game comes from the end).

Still the best Danmakufu game, but I'd like to catch a break a n y t i m e now.

I was going to beat Phantasm for the first time. I was pretty confident with my 4 lives, and a full bomb stock. During Butterfly in The Zen Temple, I perfectly circled around the red manji and the red butterflies, but then, when I wanted to go back to the edges, that one lingering wave of red butterflies clipdeathed me AT THE LAST FRAME BEFORE ITS HITBOX LEFT THE SCREEN.
Since I didn't expect it to happen, I didn't deathbomb, and basically ruined my whole run.
I died at Yukari's Arcanuum, but if I only hadn't died with 3 bombs to spare before, I would've survived.

Clipdeath of the century.

EDIT: Just downloaded the VSync Patch.
Beat Yukari on first attempt. (and Suwako too)
I literally can't believe how big of a game-changer this patch is.

OK WHAT THE FLYING FUCK, I JUST DID SOME PRACTICE OF HOURAI JEWEL IN SPELL CARD PRACTICE AND WHEN I GO BACK TO THE SPELLCARD LIST THE BAD ENDING DIALOGUE SHOWED UP. Bad ending #12 as well, was playing with Netherworld Team. No idea what happened. Pictures:

Quitting to the spellcard list showed this glitchy thing:
(http://i63.tinypic.com/v5yj5s.jpg)

Moving between spellcards gave some overlapping dialogue. Seems to be 2 copies of the spellcard text thing and what I assume is a part of the bad ending. This shows up about a second after you move to another spellcard:
(http://i65.tinypic.com/i3h0u9.jpg)

This shows up immediately after moving to another spellcard, before going to what is shown above:
(http://i65.tinypic.com/4lmzrk.jpg)

Tried to go onto another spellcard. Game appeared to freeze so I mashed enter a bit and noticed some dialogue showing up. Seems to be Youmu saying "I see! She went right back to bed after (getting) up once.":
(http://i66.tinypic.com/2ldx1tw.jpg)

Proceeding though dialogue. New message is something like Youmu Youmu also looked sleepy." It might be a good idea to take a bit of a vacation.":
(http://i64.tinypic.com/dzh6kx.jpg)

Dialogue: Youmu The night lasted for a long time wearing everyone out. That is why Yuyuko quickly fell asleep. Bad Ending #12 Keep clearing stages, as far as you can go!:
(http://i65.tinypic.com/nckxsy.jpg)

Alt-tabbing out to post this and coming back:
(http://i63.tinypic.com/hrmsmd.jpg)

Then the screen faded to white and then the save replay screen opened.  I said yes since I wanted to see what it would save. Game then went back to normal, no replay saved though. Based on the score, the replay looked like the last Hourai Jewel capture I did. This was absolutely messed up...

This could have been 270m but nope.
The big bullet didn't kill me. A small one came from the right and hit me.

Died to Meilings second non so I had to skip the suicide on Remilia's knives.
Bombed Princess Undine so I had to skip the stage 5 opener.
Died to Sakuya's second non so I had to skip the suicide on Remilia's second spell.

So many mistakes....I wonder if I'll even get 300m this year.

Post by: Mr Jovial on February 21, 2016, 12:54:18 PM
Well I'm back here. Somehow, even after adding Hourai Jewel to my route which should add ~60m even with a death and playing far more than I have done over the past couple of months, my average score is lower and Half Past 4 is once again, being a pain to capture in runs. I've had 2 decent runs (>5.3b) over the last 30 clears. Very seriously considering just giving up on this game completely and just scoring something else because clearly, some higher force clearly doesn't want me to play IN.

MarisaA, Hard. I performed almost flawlessly up until Stage 5. Nailed my UFO chain, was dodging stuff that I usually auto-bombed, felt incredible. Then I died twice in quick succession during the stage which got me frustrated and made me lose my focus. My performance fell apart after that. I didn't even save the replay because I was so mad, even though I wanted to keep it to document my mad dodging skills :(

Scaled down for good reason.

Just keep in mind to NEVER BACK DOWN ! You can do it ! Remember to focus less on your hitbox on fast patterns and more on it on dense and slow ones, make sure to stay at the 1/3 or 1/4 of the height of the field to have more space to work with, and don`t hold back on bombs !

Also, if you`re really going to kill him/her, i will stop you (Peacefully of course). And no, i don`t have any major rage outbursts to post, i`m pretty chill IMO.

I know we have to go over this every single time a visible poster is probated but:

1. Probation is always the second to last resort.
2. There is plenty of post editing, thread moving/merging, and personal off-channel talking to that goes on between staff and users prior to any probation.
3. We generally try to avoid having those communications public to spare people the embarrassment, unless a public call-out is warranted.

This is why it seems to some of the rest of you that probations "come out of nowhere" - because what you don't see are the private exchanges we have with these users many times before this option is taken, out of respect for them and for granting the benefit of the doubt. In this case, various members of staff have had to edit, merge, move, lock and otherwise talk to her about her posts, on this board and others. As little visible effort has been made to learn what certain boards or threads are for, she was now given her first timeout.

In short: probations and bannings are the visible and unfortunate portion of a largely invisible process of staff working with users trying to fit in. Usually people fit in just fine - even the ones who've been probated before.

I usually start the near the left side of the screen then as she shot bullets piramids I go back at the bottom of the screen and then to the right side of the screen all of this unfocused for more speed to outrun the shotguns then when she stop firing them and start the other attack I get focused and stream trought it while I count three repetitions of it and then I try to go the nearer possible to one of the screen upper corner and then I repeat the first part of it keep in mind that return during the fight to  the up per part of the screen is the hardest part of this tattic also keep in mind that if you get cornered by one of the shotguns if you can keep yourself calm and with a bit of reflexes you can go trought it this is particolary easy in Normal

I highly doubt troll comments to provoke arguments are acceptable in any part of the site. If you see it happening, please use the "Report to moderator" button below a relevant post.

If you have concerns about the probation policy or other staff decisions, and wish to express those concerns in a constructive manner, feel free to bring that up in Letters to the Editor (https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/board,3.0.html). (Or for HME in particular, I'm open to PMs, if you're more comfortable with that.)

This particular thread is for raging about your mistakes/bad luck/whatever in Touhou games, not for raging about others' behavior.

Normal, i just started running PCB Extra (Am i mad, or are some stuff in Extra harder than in Phantasm ? Feels like it.) and i`m hating how unorthodox the cards are, plus i have very few time to analyze for a strat.

Pretty much avoid playing if:

You`re stressed out.
You`re hungry.
You`re sleepy.
You`re uninspired.

Also, died at Yuyuko`s Survival but still captured it somehow at the last second, so does it count as a NM Stage 6 Run or can i rage now ?

Just two problems...

1. Where the DANMAKU is Sakuya's Luna Dial theme from IaMP? That one was fricking metal!

2. TYPHOON WEATHER!!! Is there a patch which disables Typhoon, or at least weather altogether? I did some googling, but only found one for 10.5

Other than that, I'm loving it. The cast is so fun and diverse, and it really gives me that Super Smash Bros feel.

It'd have to be 300m.
30m in MoF would only get you the first extra life, to give you an idea. On hard you'd probably reach it close to the end of stage 2, or maybe a little bit before/after.

After I've watched the credits once at normal speed (usually after my first Easy mode clear), then I'll usually speed through the credits on any future clears as well.

Yeah, it really sucks to be really close to winning, or have already won, when something happens to screw you out of your accomplishment. I think about 4 years ago, I had just finished off Utsuho on a Lunatic run of Touhou 11, which would've been my first Lunatic 1cc of that game (and my first billion-point score on that game as well, as I remember I had 1.077-something billion), but just after Utsuho had finished exploding, before the ending could even start, someone nearby accidentally flipped a light switch which happened to be connected to the power source of the computer I was using at the time. ARGH!!! (This happened at around 11 PM on that night, and I ended up staying up until past 5 AM trying to 1cc Lunatic again, which I succeeded at, with a score over 1.1 billion that time, but man, that was a lot of sleep lost, and the sun was already rising outside. Oh, and this computer is no longer hooked up to a power source that's attached to a light switch now.)

So I'm having what I think is my best Touhou run ever, which is really underwhelming since I rarely play Touhou.

Getting to the final stage of Shining Shooting Star, I have no extra lives remaining, and I'm fully aware of it.
"OK, focus on collecting spell fragments and be prepared to bomb when necessary."
I'm fully expecting to have my soul served on a platter by the final boss.

Nah, mate, my peripheral vision fails me and I don't move far enough to the left to dodge a simple bullet pattern.
Since I wasn't expecting myself to die to something so simple, I was not prepared to bomb at all.

I would have been fully content with my run if I had died to something more appropriate for my situation,
but I'm instead left with this bittersweet feeling of dying to what is essentially Stage 2 danmaku.

Those kinds of last-second deaths just before completing a stage are indeed truly nerve-wrecking.
I remember when I just got into DDC Normal and ran right into an orb just at the moment Shinmyoumaru's last spell broke.  :X

Also, Byakuren on Normal is still a royal pain. I pretty much always manage to enter stage 6 with at least 4 extra lives in stock as of late, and then Byakuren just decides to take all or most of them. My UFO Normal 1cc's are still extremely rusty, with me stumbling away with no extra life left, no matter what player and shottype I use.

Why am I so bad at DDC???

I've gotten so many game over's on Sukuna's timeout spellcard, it's not even funny.

Using Sakuya B makes me really angry. I hate this shot type more than SA Marisa C and UFO Marisa B.

I know that it's not as bad as Marisa C in SA but mehhh

It ran at 40 FPS.

Y'know, I think MS is actually a good game. Yumeko is a pretty fun fight, and Yuki and Mai aren't too bad as well. I like all of the characters and the music is amazing.

However, I really hate the stage portions of Stage 4 and 5. Stage 4 in particular. It hurts my eyes and I've had so many times where I've died because I couldn't see the bullet that hit me. Why did ZUN think this was a good idea?  :V This stage alone makes me not want to play the game. >.>

Stage 5 is a bit better but I still dislike it.  :getdown:

MS stage 4 get a bit easier when you memorize how the little white bullets are fired so you don't need to search them in that messy background, I found stage 5 fun though with that costant bullet spam and the also costant pressure that having to be ready when the blue faries fire at you with aimed bullets, what I "hate" are Yumeko's aimed attacks they are too much bullets fired to much quick in my opinion so most of the times I end losing most of my resources on her

Attempted a no-bombs Phantasmagoria Trues Standard Unseen 1CC.

Died at the third-last attack.

I was doing really well for most of the run, too. Captured some stuff I never thought I would (hello, Eternal Horizon), flew straight through solid walls on multiple occasions, generally did very well all throughout. Made a couple of bad mistakes and those cost me the run. What really gets me is, I was one attack away from an extend to deal with the last two attacks, and the third-last attack isn't even particularly hard.

sigh.

Think I should probably go to bed now.  :fail:

I hate Fairy Wars. It's such a dumb game and makes me feel frustrated every time I play it. Partially due to controls, and also due to the ice mechanic itself.

What's more is that every time I always either game over on the fairy trio boss fight or 1cc with many lives to spare. There never seems to be any inbetween.

I can't wait to do this game's extra.

Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom.

I'm a Lunatic player who just got her ass handed to her on LoLK Normal.

I literally just bought this game and I'm just...nope. Done. Not even interested in learning the game, because these patterns are just straight-up not fun.

Don't know what I'm going to do now. Back to no-bomb Phantasmagoria Trues I guess, unless there's some other fangame that's playable for me and worth my time to try. (suggestions welcome on that)

Everything is decently okay until Clownpiece, which is where the difficulty goes through the roof and only gets harder from there on. Use Reisen, she has the best bomb.

I know, lol. Thought it was obvious, but yes I meant Clownpiece.

Reisen reminded me too much of SA!MarisaC, and I don't like low-power shots in general, though I guess that makes sense since Reisen gets three hits to Nitori's one. Still, though, it just feels...off, to me. Like I'm playing out of my element.

I've come to realize a long time ago that if a game isn't fun to play, it's just not worth my time. LoLK isn't fun to play for me, and Reisen less so. Simple as that.

This game is very frustrating .... it doesn't seem terribly hard but the controls are stupid...i cant even get past stage 1 on hard at most i make it to the boss lol. its the charging and shooting button being the same that throws me off and make it hard to dodge. it was one of the things i hated the most about POFV but it wasnt as bad as cirno is pretty fast so not a good combination.

You can shoot with C and not charge if tapping Z bothers you. Clearing GFW is mostly getting used to the freeze mechanics. You get a lot of bomb and lives even if you're playing badly.

Thanks! I played a little bit of it, it seems really awesome so far. Only issue is that boss fights seem to be over really quick; I'm not sure if I was using an OP shot by accident (MarisaC) or if they just naturally have their HP that low. Ah well, stage patterns are hectic enough that it's still a really fun game.

It's a CAVE-style game; bosses are supposed to be like that.  (With that said, the last two bosses have long lifebars AND are really tough.)

Also MarisaC is amazing and I'm glad you're using it.

Post by: ?q on September 05, 2016, 02:03:25 AM
I just tried MSD again.  I had forgotten how addictive it is to play a game that rewards you for playing like a raving lunatic psycho and gives you a shot type that lets you come in like a wrecking ball.

There are some things you may not know already, so I'll point them out now.
*The game has no native BGMs.  If you hear music, that's because you're getting the previous owner's secondhand preferences.  You can find the BGM folder easily enough and figure out how to swap in and properly name things.

*All shot types share the same unfocused bomb, which is a basic screen clear with meh damage.  Focused bombs are unique to the shot type.
*MarisaA is the homing shot type with low firepower.  Her bomb is a long-lasting shield that stays in place and munches bullets.  Note that your own invincibility frames end long before the bomb's effect ends, and that bomb-immune bullets kind of defeat the purpose.
*MarisaB is the standard forward-firing shot type for boring people.  Her focused bomb has a narrow range.
*MarisaC is the best shot type in the history of best shot types.  It does more damage than any other shot type if you can get both your forward shots and your point-blank lightning to latch onto something, but without the lightning her firepower lags behind the standard.  Still, being able to kill things from any direction is really useful during stages.  Her focused bomb is basically Master Spark.
*MarisaD has some weird lock-on thing going on.  I forgot everything about it.

*In the Config menu you can select whether you want full autobombs, half autobombs, or no autobombs.  With no autobombs you get bomb extends pretty frequently, but if you get hit, that's it.  Half autobombs give you two bomb extends at a time at half the original frequency, and if you autobomb it costs two bomb stocks.  Full autobombs use one bomb up every time you get hit, but you get four bomb extends at a quarter of the original frequency.  So, it comes out to about the same number of bombs, but they come at less convenient intervals.  Playing as MarisaC, I strongly recommend the full autobombs.  The wiki disagrees with this, but I swear I remember verifying that bomb extends (with no autobombs) are at every 800 million points.
*With that said, you always want to use a not-an-autobomb if you have the option.  The autobomb is basically a really short, really bad version of MarisA's focused bomb.
*Life extends occur at 1, 3, 6, 10, and 15 billion points (in the original game), and you may get the first four of those by the end of the game.  You may not even get the fourth one unless you're totally styling on the game, although I'm open to being told I'm playing the game the wrong way.

*There are no spell card bonuses - the equivalents of spell cards in this game are named patterns the boss mixes in with regular patterns without fanfare (you can see the names during replays).  You do get a score bonus dependent on time, though.  What I'm saying is that in true CAVE fashion, you can bomb the attacks you hate without a twinge of guilt.

*Instead of point items, this game's enemies drop stars when defeated.  Red stars are worth diddly while green stars are sweet.  The color distribution of the star drops is dependent on how close you are to the enemy when you destroy them, and the maximum is really difficult to get, so get as close as you can.
*You get points very quickly when you point-blank medium-sized enemies or larger.  Enemies do not have hurboxes, though of course they can fire bullets from the center of their bodies.  This applies to bosses as well!
*Most large enemies (the ones with the larger spell circles) will not shoot if you are inside their spell circle.  There are exceptions for some reason (like the ones in Stage 2) and any familiars they have absolutely will keep shooting.

*When you have 1000 charge, press C to use a hyper.  This clears some bullets around you and causes enemies to drop vengebullets.  Press C again to convert the vengebullets into super-sweet silver stars that are worth huge points.  The vengebullets will wink out after a while if you don't clear them, so don't try to string them along for too long.  Note that when your hyper ends, all vengebullets are converted to red stars, so cancel them before that happens.
*Stars and other means of getting points feed into your hyper meter.  This means that you can get into some medium enemies' grills as they enter the screen, mooch some point-blank bonus, and then tap your new hyper to ignore all the bullets they may have just started shooting at you.
*Note that the silver stars from canceling vengebullets also feed into your hyper meter!  If possible you want to cancel enough vengebullets just before your hyper ends that it puts you back at full charge.

*The midboss of Stage 3 is Star Sapphire.  If you destroy all of her familiars before clearing her lifebar (she has two sets; make sure you get all of the first set before they fly away), she will drop a 1up.  You want this 1up.
*The difficulty curve of this game is exponential.  The first two stages are there to let you feel cool, the third stage is more challenging, the fourth stage stops messing around (especially the boss), and the fifth stage is both longer and harder than the rest of the game combined (maybe not literally true but it's close).

MSD is suprisingly addictive indeed, and that's my first time I've ever played a CAVE-style shmup. Thank you folks for sharing!  :)
The hyper mechanic and the extremely fast paced stages had me unconsciously sitting at my laptop for over an hour. The custom BGM fits the stages pretty well I think.

 Went from 5 continues to stage 5 to almost an 1cc within an hour. But that

Touhou doesn't work on my computer anymore.

The games are stuttering, slowing down out of nowhere, ghosting, not reading commands...nothing consistently works. And I'm not even playing the more recent games. 60 FPS Mountain of Faith should not be lagging when there are no bullets on the screen, ffs. Wasn't even long ago that I was playing 90 FPS games without issues.

Here's my best pacifist attempt http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=41544
Pacifying it sounds even worse than doing it normally... and, after finally clearing it today, I'm not touching this again until I unlock Hatate.

tried for a no focus run of Len'en EMS Unreal with Tsubakura (aka the super fast mover) and had the perfect run of all perfect runs and ended up with a whopping 3 extra lives going into the final card.


game overed with (---) < that much health left

I know the OP said I'm to convince you I didn't just die to something dumb, but I will flat out say I died to something dumb.

I was ONE SPELL AWAY from my first No Miss Normal run of TD, and I derped it out on Laser of Seventeen Articles. I went into Trance after I felt myself slip too far away from under Miko, came out of it, she still had some health left, and I was hoping to finish her off right there and move on to her final and seal the deal (her final isn't bad at all honestly, and I had 4 bombs left, had I got there there was no way I would've lost), and I slid myself into an amulet in the last 2 seconds before I finished the attack. I'm salty as shit.

I'll get it next time, but I'm upset mostly because the Seiga fight was so damn CLEAN. I slid between all those stupid curving lasers like I eat them for breakfast, and I was so impressed with it (even though I bombed one time on a noncard because I was doing stupid stuff), and the Futo fight I will admit was a bit sloppy but the stage portion was pretty nice too, and to be SO DAMN CLOSE to getting it, only to die on her silliest attack, I'm still salty as shit. :V

Ah, I remember the days of struggling with Seiga on Normal.

Anyway, onto 'rage', or whatever.

Why have I become so trash at TD? I keep fucking up on Kyouko on Hard a million times, while attempting for another NBNT run. She's seriously the hardest boss, smh.

I know, I could probably continue a run after dying on Kyouko, but that shit bothers me way too much to even bother.

Post by: LunarWingCloud on October 13, 2016, 05:58:46 AM
So I kept trying to go for the No Miss run in TD, and I kept fucking it up. Died on Futo, died early into Miko, died on Futo AGAIN, died on SOGA, and other general stupid shit. One of these days.

Then I tried to 1cc EoSD on Hard with default stock (I've done it once with max starting stock, came very close on default stock). I kept choking on Stage 4, also fuck Meiling's Flower Dream Vine, it's literally just a bunch of fucking blue balls why is it a spellcard? Anyway I got to Sakuya like 2 times but I didn't do very well on any recent attempt.

And in Touhoumon Enhanced, this is the most beautiful occurrence of rage, because I have video evidence of it. I fought Misty. The fight took like 15 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAlYGFEO4ZE Fight starts at 10:35. Just watch how much of a bitch Misty is. Slack Off spam, confusion hax with Teeter Dance and Water Pulse. Hitting me through ~3-4 accuracy drops. Holy shit this was a shitshow :V Fun fight, but goddammit I was salty.

TD LNNN is triggering me
First I die to seiga constantly, even getting a 1MNB run dying to tongling yoshika before perfect stage 5/6.
Now I finally figure seiga out to the point I'm consistently getting through stage 4, and suddenly I'm game overing to Miko.
Similarly, I've spent ages (270 attempts?) learning futo's first spell, and gotten it down, but now I'm just dying to her 3rd spell instead (or even her 2nd -_-)

Why can I never be good at the whole game at once

On top of this is the game deciding to force me to reset early stages a bunch, either through kyouko throwing walls at you that you can't do anything about, or bullets spawning on me during yoshika's 3rd non (and poison murder occasionally murdering me).
And I just know that at some point I'll get to miko and die to honour the avoidance of defiance because it's bs :/

Direct the first of Seiran's triangles to the side because they're aimed. Then make sure to get away from the next triangle's path by moving into a separate wall. You should be able to graze a third triangle, which passes by you, and kill the card soon after.

That's how I've done it since the game was released, and it's an easy(-ish) method to get down. I still die to that card sometimes.

And speaking of LoLK, GOD DAMN CLOWNPIECE WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO HARD. My current point device run has 0 bombs on Clownpiece's second non.  :colonveeplusalpha:

Thanks for the help but I already know how to do it. I was also talking from a Lunatic point of view, which is way different from the lower difficulties. When a wave starts, it doesn't start out smoothly, there are some annoying crisscrosses that you have to dodge and I find them pretty tight as well.

Ohhh...

Glad to know I am not alone in thinking this spell is ridiculously annoying- honestly it feels a bit out of place for a Stage 1 Spellcard. Its not until around Stage 3 (Maybe sometimes Stage 2 Final Spell can get nasty) you find something thats harder to dodge, smh.

Of course its not THAT hard, but it really is for a Stage 1 attack... in fact, its an autobomb for me. Yes. An autobomb. For a STAGE 1 attack!

No other Stage 1 attack has had this "honor" for me so far... ugh...

Then again this is the same game in which I perfected the entire Stage 4 in Lunatic, and Stage 3 as a whole is way harder than Stage 4 to the point sometimes I seriously believe it would be more coherent if these two stages switched positions... the difficulty is all over the place on LoLK.

If there was any confusion-- "The Eagle Has Been Shot" is specifically the Lunatic spell. In other difficulties it's called "Eagle Shooting".

So lately I have been trying to do Lunatic PointDevice runs without using bombs (With exception of the Junko?s very last spellcard which I always bomb to death no matter the mode because I don't feel like learning THAT anytime soon).

For the most of the part, I do fine, theres been a couple of tricky spellcards I was used to just auto-bomb, but I learned how to do almost all attacks in the whole game somewhat consistently by now (Again, excluding Junko?s very last attack)... with the exception of...

(https://s13.postimg.org/x5hm40f3b/Stupid_Spellcard.png)



This spellcard is extremely annoying. It just RUINS my No-Bombs PD runs because it just stops me dead for a good ~15 minutes every single time. I know I am probably missing some strat or something that makes it easy, and I

Really

Do not enjoy watching others replays for when I am stuck like this, but I might just have to study off of someone that can actually cap this, because I cant for the life of me consistently capture this thing. And I HAVE tried- Its a good thing the history is capped at 99+, because in reality its probably like 01/300+, and its only getting worse!

The ONE (Now two at the time of this writing) time I captured it felt like mere speedkill luck- in fact I believe its possible to speedkill this thing at full power without moving to the sides at all- but of course PointDevice reduces your power by 0.01 each death... so I couldn't test that.

It really does not help that these stupid balls of fire are very clippy, and its just boring. At least Clownpiece?s opener and 2nd non-spell, as hard as they are, are fun to dodge. This really not so much.

Clownpiece's third spell
It is really annoying, and seems like replays are a last resort option for you, so maybe this can help?
[attach=1]

what I do is: try to stay at roughly this height, then tap away from the wave until the fireballs spawn graze items, move slightly farther away and go through the gap the outer balls make; then go to one side, repeat, then center, then the other side, etc.
You need to get a rhythm for this, because the fireballs get slower the longer you stay close to them and if you do, you won't be able to switch sides as easily (or at all); that height gives you enough room to back down further and try to make a gap somewhere else.

You can speedkill it at full power, but it does need you to be a little lucky with the second layers of fireballs to not force you down faster and/or not cut you off from following Clownpiece. From my experience, Reimu and Sanae barely manage a capture, Reisen is a little easier and, with good RNG (and optimal tapping), Marisa can do it even at level 3
Title: Re: THE GAME CHEATED!! - Touhou Rage Thread #17
Post by: ILikeBulletZ on November 19, 2016, 03:21:11 PM
Ok thanks I will try this strat the next time I get to this spell, then...

Good to know its possible to just speedkill it, too... although it seems kind of unlikely. And risky...
Especially because I Main Sanae, and I might also use Reimu soon as well, then Reisen because why not.

I never use Marisa at all. Yet she has the easiest time with this one attack...
Title: Re: THE GAME CHEATED!! - Touhou Rage Thread #17
Post by: RB on November 20, 2016, 12:55:48 AM
There's also another tip you can use once you've created your gap. The less dense fireball ring, even though they look uninteresting, they can actually trap you if you don't position yourself correctly.
You have to position yourself between two fireballs of the less dense ring, then do what Mero just said above, thus there will be no fireballs to block your escape route, as seen in the picture below.
(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/244755639841062913/249152087924015104/unknown.png)
Just keep this in mind for every wave she fires and you can essentially trivialize it to its Normal variation.

At the moment, though, I am currently getting a bit annoyed at PCB Phantasm... there almost no real specific part that troubles me (I cleared the whole thing like 5 times already), its just that the conditions I imposed for myself make it a bit harder than usual...

Dear Yukari,

I love how I work hard to play throughout the entire stage perfectly (NMNBNBB) up until Boundary of Life and Death, and its THEN when you decide to troll me and move around SO DAMN MUCH, screwing up the pattern and killing me, making me waste yet another 15 minutes at reaching this part AGAIN.

I mean, it would not be so bad if it was at the start of the run... maybe halfway there... but no, its RIGHT AT THE END!.

I don't really get what makes her move like 8 times in most of my runs, whenever I do follow her or not does not seem to matter, or whenever I am to her left or right, she just randomly decides to move and it kills me (literally). The few times she didn't, I already screwed up somewhere else in the run, lol.

Its really the 1 thing that's not consistent at all. Everything else is relatively easy to perfect so long as I am not stupid.

Post by: CopperMarten on November 28, 2016, 08:18:53 PM
Charming Siege from All Sides is a garbage spell for NMNBNBB runs. I get to grind a snooze of a stage for 7 minutes per run to even get to the card, then it's a roll of the dice whether it's going to cooperate or not. Glad I (probably) never have to deal with it again.

That's what I am feeling right now, after getting my Phantasm "Perfect" run:


No Miss, No Bomb... 1 Border Break to Double Black Death Butterfly...  :(

Why?

I mean part of me feels actually quite OK because it means I am probably going to get it soon (I seriously hope so), but the other part of me does not want to have anything to do with this crap anymore at the moment...  :wat:

Cucked away from first Western non-Reimu LNB. The run went pretty well at first, with 7 misses up until Clownpiece where it trainwrecked from there. I've been put into a similar situation as my Reimu LNB but this time I wasn't so lucky at PDH.

Worst part is that I could've milked her fourth non more and get an extra life to tank through this but I didn't.

Level of Frustration: Freaking HIGH, dammit, you know a shottype is bad when it has problems doing Stage 2 :/ Actually, has problems doing pretty much all stage portions...

I have been mading some progress, but my best as of now is just a Game Over at Reimu?s Last Spell. Its not as bad as it seems though, pretty sure Stage 5 has a net positive gain in resources so long as I don't mess Reisen fight too bad...but then there is Eirin...

Why is it that, whenever I get a really good Stage 1 and 2 score, I always die to Exiled Doll?  :(

Just now was the most heartbreaking run of my Touhou career. Reached Stage 6 with five lives, and I think I was just so hyped at getting my first capture of Unremembered Crop, I kind of lost concentration and everything started killing me :( Reached the final 0/5, put up a decent fight, but by then, yeah, there was no way I was making it.

EDIT: And then late at night I decide to play a random credit and end up improving my Normal PB to 1-miss. Why is this in Rage and not Achievements? The miss was to Onbashira of all things....

I've been stuck on stage 1 of LoLK LNB for the past two days. I literally cannot NMNB it. If I don't die to Seiran's first boss non, I die to Eagle Has Been Shot right afterwards. Oh, I should just budget a death for stage 1? Well if I die on stage 1 I don't have enough power to do decently on stage 2, so it just snowballs from there. I should just give up the attempt. If I'm not consistent on stage 1, I'm not getting the run.

EDIT: I did end up taking a break, and I'm super happy I did! It just felt like such an insurmountable wall. I'll come back to this goal when I'm a better player. For now, I'll keep it in the back of my mind as something I eventually want to do, but I'm not ready for yet.

Post by: ILikeBulletZ on January 30, 2017, 11:26:52 PM
I tried, okay? I tried...

But I just cant seem to get my IN Lunatic 1cc.  Its just a wall.

Its like the game got suddenly harder or something. Theres a TON of difficult sections, and not enough bombs. Note that I am the type that rarely dies without using bombs, rather, my problem is the opposite: I spam bombs WAY too much, even on not so hard sections, precisely because I am afraid of dying without using the bombs.

So I don't really know how to balance it. It isn't like I haven't been practicing- I practiced all stages and all of them have difficult sections on them, yes, even Stage 1.

Of course, I can NMNB it, but it requires MANY restarts and its driving me insane every time, I want to do an actual run. Screw you Wriggle. And I hate that Stage 1 section music now.

Stage 2 is annoying to route. I also hate Mystia. Her battle is just meh, and the 2nd non... what? Its just stupid.

Stage 3 is OK, I dunno how to do a few sections but a bomb or two solve that. Keine... is alright, I cant complain too much about her. For the most of the part I fare alright, with some luck.

Stage 4, stage section is OK, Reimu is difficult, but I actually enjoy her fight despise this, unlike the first 2 Stage bosses... I have no clue how to do the stage section after Reimu though, its a guaranteed Bomb/Death for me.

Stage 5 is actually fairly easy. With some luck at Tewi, and some of Reisen?s hard stuff, its actually a positive gain in resources...sort of.

Stage 6 (Final A)  shouldn't be very hard if I get there with like 2 lives. That requires a massively good run on all others stages though...


So far, my best is a game over at Mind Stopper. I did not even die with bombs or anything, nor did I ever deathbomb (2 bombs), so no wasted bombs... Yeah, idk what to do.
Maybe this is a little out of my league for now. Maybe I should focus on something else.


I guess I was not ready for this yet. Or maybe Solo Alice really sucks that much. Yeah, lets blame Alice instead. You really suck as a shottype, Alice :D Its almost like trying to do the game with you its a difficulty above Lunatic or something...it certainly feels like that, in comparison to my Border Team Lunatic 1cc...

But nah, I am probably the one that sucks lmao.

First serious attempt at EoSD Lunatic:

Run ended at scarlet meister.

I thought "Well, considering I really haven't practiced this game that much, I need a bit more practice and the next time I will probably get it!"

Second serious attempt:

Went into Stage 4 with like 5 lives... That was a WAY better early game than my First attempt. NMNB both stage 1 as usual, and stage 2 for the first time ever.

And yet somehow I lost the run at the non previous to Scarlet meister... of course, the fact that I died at Remilia?s opener with THREE FREAKING BOMBS probably had something to do with it. Might have a chance, a small one, but a chance to actually clear if it was not for that.

I hate those blue bullets, they are like 110% hitbox. Something seems off about them. They cheat lol.

Tomorrow is the third attempt... I SHOULD clear by then!

So I figured I'd take on UFO, to round off my normal 1cc tour of the series. My first attempt actually went surprisingly well: despite a poor showing in stage 4 and an even worse performance against midboss Nazrin, I managed to pull off a surprisingly decent Shou fight, and made it into stage 6 without completely running out of lives.

...And then, as soon as stage 6 started and the orbs showed up, I just casually walked into a bullet and died. And then I did it again about five seconds later, resulting in a very embarrassing game over. Did ZUN deliberately design UFOs with the intent of making them deathtraps for easily-distracted players, or did that just sort of happen?

LoLK hard no bomb practice is destroying me...

On Seiran I do fine. Other than messing up the safespot on the 2nd non or Lunatic Gun occasionally.

On Ringo the nonspells screw me over more often than not. I do die an annoying amount of times on September Full Moon than I should be, though.

On Doremy once again it's the nons, especially the second one. Azure Dream Catcher is by far the worst attack she has. I came up with my own route for Ultramarine Lunatic Dream which seems to work.

On Sagume the second non is pretty weird, I've managed to route all of the other ones well enough. Disorderly Flock's Reverse Curse is incredibly bullshit, I don't know how to do this one. I also get sniped on One-Winged White Heron quite frequently, even though the safespots are supposedly static.

On Clownpiece, let's just say the only attacks I can get through consistently are Eclipse of Hell, Striped Abyss and Apollo Hoax Theory, and that's only because those ones are entirely routable. All of the others straight up murder me.

I still haven't practiced Junko enough. Right now even stuff like Trembling, Shivering Star can kill me.

If there's one positive out of all this, at least stages are very easy with Reimu. I just don't like killing bosses with her, especially taking power loss into account.

(Disclaimer: This one rant will probably be LONG and might not make too much sense. You have been warned)

So about the recent PCB LNNN attempts:

It seems the 3 Miss was actually kind of a fluke, because I literally haven't gotten further than Stage 4 in the attempts after that one.

This is how a typical day of LNNN attempts go:

Stage 1: No real problem here.  In the rare case I die its just due to messing around and I only lose like 1 min so w/e
Stage 2: Stage section behaves nice, much like Stage 1. Chen, for the most of the part, is also niceish, except for the final, which has ended some runs- Usually I manage to get past it though.
Stage 3: The MOST annoying for LNNN in my opinion. Its just far enough that a restart would hurt, and NOT far enough that I don't feel its any sort of accomplishment to get to that point in the first place. And Alice is a major annoyance, more than I though she would be (More on that latter). Almost no runs get past this stage.
Stage 4: The few runs that get here usually die anticlimatically to some easy Stage section for some reason. Today a run died at the Red streaming section before the Deathfairy of all things...

There was some guy who said Alice was the hardest boss in the game for him. I initially honestly though that was sort of ridiculous. Well, after a lot of LNNN grinding... Alice freaking Margatroid is, if not the hardest, definitively the MOST ANNOYING FIGHT in the entire game.

Think that makes no sense?

Lets see each boss?s "Dangerous, potential run enders" then.

Letty: lolno.
Chen: Final Spellcard.
Prismrivers: 2nd Non (For Reimu Anyway), Concerto Grosso.
Youmu: First Spellcard, 2nd to last spellcard, Last spellcard.
Yuyuko: Final Spellcard

Alice actually has a fair amount of dangerous attacks when you think about it. Common offenders are:

1) Her mid-boss spell.
2) Her opener.
2) Her First Spell.
3) Her last spell.

...Now heres the kicker, all of those, individually, are not really that bad. But when you do the whole thing on a LNNN, theres suddenly this bunch of potential run enders together in one place, a place that happens to be about the middle of the game and that if just ONE of them gets you you have to restart the easy S1&2 AGAIN.... THATS when I understood, Alice actually has 4 dangerous attacks in her fight... that's more than every other boss in the game, thus technically making her the hardest.

Alice CONFIRMED for hardest boss in the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...


Okay maybe not. But shes the reason almost all of my runs don't even reach Stage 4 and I am starting to hate her lmao.

The strange thing is that it isn't that I need to practice Stage 3 more- After getting fed up with yet another run ending at Stage 3, I decided to Stage Practice it- I perfected it all no problem... wth.

Oh, I know that feeling, in any game. I'll often be able to do well/perfect when practicing something, but when it comes time for the real deal, it's often choke city. I bet it has to do with the anxiousness/nervousness that tends to occur during on a real run.

Screw Stage 2, Screw Chen, Screw her last spell, Screw Stage 3, Screw Alice, Screw her Mid-Boss spellcard, Screw the post-Mid Boss section, Screw her opener, Screw her last...


But ESPECIALLY SCREW YOU STAGE 1 for making me waste 4 minutes doing essentiality NOTHING every single time I die to any of the above. Its the BIGGEST WASTE OF TIME.

At least as annoying as Chen is, she has a small but real chance of killing me which makes it kinda interesting. Stage 1 does not, and its only fuction is to act as filler every single time I die at any point beyond it.

In both MoF and PCB, I managed to lose to the final spell in a Normal 1CC attempt. The MoF one was a lot closer and crazy, while I'd only been practicing PCB for a week or so on the latter, but still, it sucked.

Ah well. Losing a run to Kanako's last spell is basically a Touhou tradition. The run after, I managed to go the first 5 stages without losing a single life, entering Stage 6 with 7 lives, and then won with 2 lives left over. PCB's was also salt-inducing, but nearly as much, and I managed to beat it 2 tries later.

Fortunately, nothing as obnoxious as that happened on my IN, LoLK (pointdevice yay), or DDC Normal 1CCs.

Errr...

No offense but....



(https://s3.postimg.org/7k5s14jcj/th002.jpg)



I am going for an LNNN so I am pretty sure I already know about Stage Practice.


And after a certain point it really does not help anymore. I can perfect most of the stages individually about 8 times out of 10 in average, but when doing them all in sequence SOMETHING is almost always going to inevitably go horribly wrong at some point or another...


Today, nothing special happened. The same crap as always, some runs die to Chen?s final, most die to Alice, and only 1 got past her and proceed to die at some Post Lily Spam leftover, which admittedly was my own fault.

Not like it mattered because I continued with the 1 Miss anyway and then I got killed by absolutely TERRIBLE RNG on Concerto Grosso so whatever, run was doomed from the start.

Pretty much already hit 200 hours in PCB and theres

STILL NO LNNN

In sight. I am quite disappointed in myself. I feel like I should have already got this. After all, this isn't EoSD or UFO or LoLK LNN, where such time would probably not be enough, its fucking PCB. It literally does not get any easier than this, but I somehow manage to fail anyway.

Post by: Mino ☆ on June 14, 2017, 02:17:06 PM
Unfortunately, that's the nature of LNN. It is not a goal that you can just snap your finger and get on the fly, unless you're really proficient like some of the japanese players (Or just really guerilla like yats).

When I went for my first PCB LNNN, it took me a year and a half, and at that time I'd already had about 400-500 hours total in the game. The fact that you don't have it yet isn't surprising, but shouldn't be discouraging. And don't think that UFO and LoLK are the only games that would take a lot of time to get. I took quite a surprisingly long time for Mountain of Faith (which some people even consider easier than PCB for some reason), and Yats took an uncanny amount of time for SA.

What I've learned about LNNNs is that they come when you least expect them. They're very random. You will never expect when that winning credit comes, but when you DO get it, it gives off an amazing feeling.

Do you stream by any chance? I'd like to watch you play sometime! :)

Do keep in mind that PCB does have a lot of challenging things like Youmu, some of Prismriver's things, and don't forget the lovely spam section you get in stage 6. So don't underestimate it. (You can underestimate TD though) By the looks of it, you're going with ReimuB too, who isn't very good at the spam. If the spam itself is giving you trouble, you could always do what I did and use ReimuA, or do what Yats did and use SakuyaB.

---

P.S. I saw a thread from you asking about border invincibility frames. Most people don't really consider it illegal. In fact, HS, the one who did the first PCB LNNN, used it on Hell's God Sword AND the spam section in stage 6. SOC and I used it to cheese Lunasa's second non in our ReimuB runs. PNG used it in his ReimuA run on one of the prismriver's attacks as well I'm sure. All these runs are still included in the LNN thread and recognized as legit :)

My stance on it, is that like in IN (where you get invincibility after a boss's final spell, allowing you to skip through bullets without dying), is that the game is GIVING you free invincibility. AKA, you will never die or get hit by any bullet, or fail anything. See, when you finish a border, you're always going to be invincible after the border ends, so my stance is that you might as well make use of it.

A lot of things can go wrong in a credit even if you play on point the entire time, especially in a game like PCB, which, while generally considered easy, is very long (MoF is almost 10 full minutes shorter than PCB, one reason I believe many people consider it an easier game to LNN). It's always possible to get terrible RNG throwing you a situation where you simply can't do anything; nerves getting the better of you or, worst case scenario, have something like your keyboard fail on you like it happened to Yats

Yes, I know that a LNN is obviously not going to happen in 1 day. The thing is, I have been actively going for it for a fairly good amount of time by now, and the worst part is that I KNOW I can do it. Just need to spam more credits.

I see, well theres a lot of people who consider PCB to be the easiest overall game, that also includes LNN. I would be inclined to agree with that. But I guess it Will still take its time... It sure will be awesome when I manage to get it :)

Unfortunately, due to a couple of factors, I cant really stream. The two biggest reasons are that my PC/Internet just wouldn't be up to the task (I can barely upload Youtube videos in a decent quality/time as it is, streaming is probably out of the question), and even if I COULD, there is the language barrier (Since most of the community is naturally English) issue, so I couldn't really comment anyway (And then, what would be the point? xD).
That said, IF you are interested, I could link you the replay of my current PB. Who knows, maybe you can tell me what I am doing wrong or how to improve, since I know you have LNNNd this game long ago (I even saw your video on Youtube!).

Yes, I am aware of the "Dangerous spots" on PCB. The 2 most obvious are HGS and Spam, but I also have a bit of trouble with a couple of others (Chens final, Alices First, Lily, That annoying 2nd Lunasa non, Concerto Grosso, and of course, Resurrection Butterfly). All of these, while not as much of a run killer as the "Big 2", are also occasionally annoying and kill me. But that's just how it works, I guess. I actually find HGS to be a bit overrated, at least with ReimuB.
As for using another shottype... I rather not relearn the entire game just for a slightly easier time at one part that last like 20 seconds at most (Spam), to be completely honest.

Its nice to know I can freely use the Iframes trick then. I have been trying to do it on Lunasa?s 2nd non, but in a real run its hard to get a good amount of Cherry in order to get the border at that exact moment, lol.



Where in the right mind did you ever come to the conclusion that LNN is easy?

Well, I think that it all started ever since I got the 8MNBNBB, I had the feeling that "I could do better than this", then I keep trying to reduce the amount of silly deaths. I wasn't REALLY thinking about LNNN at that point, I just knew I could do a better run. Then I got the 6 Miss. Wasn't all that happy with it still, so I kept going. And then I got the 3 Miss. At that point, I was quite satisfied with the run, since it barely had any silly deaths... but then I realized, "Woah, this is actually close to a LNNN run, might as well try to go for it"(Especially since that run marked the first moment in which I got to Youmu at an LNNN pace, something I have never done before) and ever since then, I have been actively gunning for it... That, plus the countless people who claim that PCB is the easiest game overall in the series for a lot of things, 1cc, No Bomb, and yes that also means easy LNNN, in comparison with other games. And it is indeed true. Which just makes the fact that I haven't LNNNd it yet more annoying, lol.



Do keep in mind that (while obviously important) you being good enough to LNN a game is only a part of actually getting it. A lot of things can go wrong in a credit even if you play on point the entire time, especially in a game like PCB, which, while generally considered easy, is very long (MoF is almost 10 full minutes shorter than PCB, one reason I believe many people consider it an easier game to LNN). It's always possible to get terrible RNG throwing you a situation where you simply can't do anything; nerves getting the better of you or, worst case scenario, have something like your keyboard fail on you like it happened to Yats


Indeed, a lot of things can go wrong- I already said were I think the dangerous spots are. That's true, PCB is quite a bit longer than most other games (We can thank Stage 4 for that), that means theres more time for me to die and have to restart the entire run from scratch...nothing I can do about that tho. Same with RNG.

TBH the most annoying thing about this is that I have to eat up this damn boring Stage 1 AGAIN every time I die to something after it. Playing that stage over and over is so DULL because NOTHING happens on it. At least Chen is somewhat dangerous at times so I have to pay attention, all Stage 1 is doing is testing my patience.

Forget 3 miss, the gap from just 1 miss to 0 miss can be much bigger than it looks. One or two mistakes can still be spread around in so many different ways, but when going for no mistakes there's obviously no room for error anywhere anymore. Years ago when I was first going for a perfect VoWG Lunatic time-out, I was greatly encouraged after getting a run that was 3 miss, and even more so after getting a run that was 1 miss almost right after. However, it took another several days of very serious grinding, enduring many more 1- and 2-miss attempts, before I got over the hump and managed "that one run" that didn't mess up once. This isn't meant to discourage you or anything ILikeBulletZ, just saying that thinking you're "close" to an LNNN just because you got a very-low-miss run before is probably a mistake. LNN(N)s are always in a whole other tier for the reason I gave above, no exceptions, and no matter what you may hear from others about how "easy" or "hard" they may be compared to other games. But again, don't let this stop you - as long as you let go of the idea that you should have "had this" by now, you'll likely start finding it easier to keep up your repeated attempts at it (well, beyond your annoyance at Stage 1 at least lol).

Umm I guess thats fair enough.

I mean, aside from one very especific section (The spam), I have done everything else perfectly multiple times on separated runs/practice sessions by now. So its not unrealistic to think that all I need to do is just to spam a few more credits for LNNN, but ofc its not as easy as that.

Well I guess it might take longer, then. But thats OK I mean, so long as one day I get it (Or at least get a 2/1 miss run so I can tell I am making progress).

Just to try something different, I decided to do a random Lunatic run with ReimuA today. It was my very first run with her on this difficulty, and I am pretty sure it will also be the last one, because...


SHE IS ABSOLUTELY ABYSMAL OH MY GOD

Got a terrible cringeworthy 9MNBNBB run. Now, Considering it was literally my first run ever with her, one could argue that it could have been worse. BUT it really shocked me just how ridiculous her low damage output is- sure, the some stage sections (3, 5, and, supposedly, the stage 6 spam) are nicer to her than to ReimuB, but thats literally the only positive I can say she has.

Everywhere else, shes trash. Shes bad. Like, REALLY bad...

Also, I can understand some of the deaths because a few were my fault. But most of them were just because of her crap shottype-
And probably the thing that made me mad the most, THE SPAM STILL KILLED ME ANYWAY, even though ReimuA is supposed to trivialize it and is really the one reason you use her. LOL...

I dont really think its really worth trying to do the whole game with her... we will see. But I doubt it. I SOMEHOW managed to LNNN up to Stage 4, but even just that small victory requiered many lucky dodges and, quite frankly I should have died many more times if it wasnt for dumb good luck.

Grinding SSS ExNNNFS with Reimu/Shinmyoumaru. I got a perfect run right up to the last word, then I died twice on what would otherwise probably be one of the easiest spells on that stage.

Yesterday I was attempting a Normal No-Bomb run of EoSD for fun. It was a really good run (save me getting randomly booped by Patchouli's opener) until Sakuya's Misdirection. I managed to lose 3 lives to that. I suddenly felt like not playing the game after that.

So, my sister unplugged my laptop's cable to charge her phone, without telling me, and I started running out of battery in the middle of a run, throwing me out of the game and, when I came back, into a train-wreck I just couldn't recover from because I lost my focus. Literally two seconds later, and I would have had no problem (of course, people telling me when they move my stuff would be ideal, too).

I've been trying to NMNB DDC Extra in the past couple of days (first attempt at NMNB BTW) and let me tell you that It's Abysmal!

I hate the Tsukumo Sisters! If I don't die to the suffocating hitbox mess that is the Non, Get past the curved mess Storm Ensemble,
I get treated to Joruri World; The Worst Attack In the stage! The Crisscross of Ben Ben's bullets gets me every time, then when I see the opening Yatsuhashi's bullets block it off! (even Sakuya A's slowdown doesn't help)
If I did my math correctly then I have a 0.16 Capture Ratio on that Card!
And if by some miracle I get past the Scarlet Sisters (sorry I meant Tsukumo because I confused them for The Devil!) Raiko's First Spell get's the job done! Sakuya A Is THE WORST shot to handle that attack!

I'm no pro at Touhou, I can get past normal mode in most games in a few tries though. But I don't know how people do NMNB, especially Lunatic NMNB.
 That was my attempt's at my First NMNB. I'll try it again here and there but not frequently.

Decided to go back to my first and still not cleared touhou game yet. EoSD. Normal run and 1cc attempt.

Managed to clear stage 1 with massive graze. I lost few lives on Cirno's Icicle Fall and to her 2nd non-spellcard which concluded my time in stage 2. In stage three I managed to die also to Meiling's non-spellcard which concluded my stage 3 run. Slightly nailed the start of stage 4 until after the midboss. I deathbombed so many patterns that can be easily streamed. By the time I reached Patchouli, I literally do not have any lives left. Where did it all go wrong?

But hey, atleast I managed to clear LoLK easy.

I died several times on Keine. Hell, I felt too fast on Marisa/Alice team and too slow from the Border team. The hell? I guess thats a bad effect from playing too much Marisa on th10-later.

Eh, I'm chill. To be honest, I never actually played against Reimue for no actual reason. Maybe Marisa was too fast for me because of the input delay. Or maybe th10-16 has completely different engine.

Who knows.

Anyone knows the touhou boss rush game for android? The one that has 5 stages? I aced all of those in normal and hard (except Satori, I do not know why I fail at her) but for some damn reason I can't pull it off in the real games.

You could say I'm new to 2hu. I'm close to a month in on attempting to 1cc Eosd and am at about 34 or so attempts and it may sound strange but I seem to only be getting worse as of late. I play for about 2 hours straight at a time and build up a little bit of familiarity and reflex only to lose focus and have it completely vanish after continued attempts. I know I shouldn't play these games if I'm not good at them but I'd like to put at least EOSD under my belt. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Title: Re: THE GAME CHEATED!! - Touhou Rage Thread #17
Post by: Shnippy on October 26, 2017, 10:17:58 AM
I'd say losing focus after a while is normal - when I was doing LNB-attempts I noticed that my best attempts would happen at the beginning of my lengthy playsessions. For 1CC's in particular I also had the problem that as I got more comfortable with dodging all the patterns I also got less willing to bomb which led to dying a lot with bombs in stock. Maybe you're having the same issue?
Don't worry about feeling that you're getting worse. If you're trying something for a long time, chances are on that you're also going to have some bad days just because you statistically have more opportunities to do badly. It might also just be your standards rising - when starting out with something, being bad is normal but if you do well it feels amazing. The more you go on, the more does doing well become normal and when you happen to play lousy it feels like being "worse than you should" and thus really bothering. This can't really be helped in my experience - just stick with it and you'll get it eventually. Seeing how you've stuck with it for a month without giving up you should definitely have the perseverance necessary for this. And perseverance is the only thing that's truly required for those games, after all!
"I know I shouldn't play these games if I'm not good at them" - dear god, reading something like this upsets me every time. Please don't! Everyone who's good at Touhou now got there because of playing the games, even when they were bad. Also, what is bad? There are players who can 1CC some games on Lunatic without even using bombs and still consider themselves "bad". Being in a community is great, comparing yourself to otherwise is nice too, but don't take it too seriously. It's best if you play for having fun.
If you don't see any improvements over some time you can try learning better strategies (quite some hard parts in EoSD can be made absolutely easy with the right strategy). There's no shame in copying strategies from others, watching their replays, searching on YouTube and the like. Trying different shots may help too, if only for being a change when you get bored over trying the same thing for too long.
Question of personal interest - what difficulty are you attempting and what's the farthest you've gotten yet? I wish you all the best of luck; also you may send me a private message if you have specific questions.

Get this, I was just on my best run of PCB so far, (I'm pretty new to it so please don't laugh). Just about up to the prism rivers with about 6 lives and 3 bombs and realized I had to leave for work and instead of pausing the game and alt tabbing like any sane schmuck would do, I instantly alt+f4'd. I promptly collapsed immediately after as the impact of my actions hit my brain like a mack truck. Here's to hoping I can get that run back later.

Post by: Mikuru on October 26, 2017, 06:34:11 PM
You can. It's heartbreaking to lose a good run to something silly like that, but if you can get that run in the first place, you can always get another run that's as good or even better. I can't count the number of times I've lost a run to pausing and then hitting "R" when I get back to the game -- I've played enough Touhou to have built that up as a natural association.

As for EoSD, don't worry about it. You'll continue to have fluctuations between good runs and horrible failures, but overall your playing strength will improve over time, and you'll definitely get that 1cc if you keep at it. My first 1cc when I was a new player took three weeks, and that was MoF, which is generally considered an easier game.

Post by: niektory on October 26, 2017, 07:21:46 PM
I recommend practicing the latter stages separately in practice mode first. It's easier to learn and less stressful when you only have to worry about one stage at a time. After you're comfortable with all of them, 1cc should be within reach.

Lost an Easy NMNBNR with a tiny healthbar portion remaining on the final card. Fortunately, it was my very first attempt, so it probably won't take too long to get back there.

Still, Autumn final is definitely my most hated Easy card in the entire series.

Tfw you reach DDC stage 6 with 7 lives and 2 bombs and Shinmyoumaru robs everything except one spare life.

That was my first somewhat decent DDC Hard 1cc, but the fight against Shinmyoumaru in this run was particularly upsetting. I've died on multiple spellcards that I usually could capture with some effort. I guess I got a bit cocky now that I've finally managed to gather and maintain a decent amount of lives before reaching stage 6.

Two stupid stage 2 deaths. TWO. FUCKING. STUPID. STAGE. 2. DEATHS.

My arm has a metal-like dent in it from my nail today. I CAN NEVER FUCKING TOUHOU.

Where did that extra life go, you ask?

By dying right after another death as I was recollecting my power-ups on the final stage.  Just... golly.

I'm getting extremely frustrated with Touhou 9. I can get to Eiki with 4 extra lives and it still means nothing. On my final of the extra lives I made it to about 3:40 and after nearly a minute straight of having my screen spammed with bullets I finally went down. I genuinely don't understand the difficulty in this game. It's not even that it's hard like LoLK, it just feels extremely erratic. Like there's times where I feel like I'm being forced to pull off stunts in normal mode on par to some of the stuff I've done in lunatic before and then other times bosses drop like bricks.

I sort of feel like I'm doing something wrong but I have no idea what. I've heard that when you lose a life on a boss they're suppose to get easier but I felt even by my last attempt I was actually doing extremely well until the endless waves of bullet spam and eventually my level 2s just couldn't clear it anymore  :(

Honestly, this is a good time to step away and take a small break. I know from personal experience just how hard it can be to play effectively when you're determined to get a 1cc but start getting too frustrated. You might find you do a lot better after a little bit of a breather.
