Twice! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=17369)
I've timed out a Spell Card! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16660) (it was hard)
I've tried new playing methods (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16112) (did not 1CC the game, but boasting anyway.)
I've 1CC'd MOUNTAIN of BOMB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15930)
I bombed, then I bombed again. And guess what, then I bombed again. And again. And, maybe again. Watch the run to see. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15926) (don't actually watch it, it's boring)
Hahaha. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15909)
NOT A 1CC (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15736)
And, I suck at TD scoring. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15519)
An PCB normal no focus. I probably don't capture anything after stage 3 IIRC. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15939)
Best clear ever. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15930)
MoF is too hard. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15926)

Drunken EoSD lunatic NV. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15736)

Alice is so cute. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18721)
Scoring skills, and, kills. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18703)
Dunno why I did this. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18595)
Read the replay description. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18469)
Read it again. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18470)
Didn't believe this was possible so I had to do it. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=18467)
I like Youmu, if you haven't yet noticed. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=17321)

After upgrading my OS months ago, I realized I had lost a lot of files, including the score.dat and replays for Imperishable Night. I always felt a sense of loss not having that replay of my very first 1cc of any Touhou game - Imperishable Night, Border Team, Easy Mode. I realize this isn't a huge accomplishment, being possibly the easiest combination ever, but this 1cc had ... nostalgic value for me. Watching that replay had brought back memories of the joy I felt clearing a Touhou game for the first time, and the giddy wonder of seeing the endings sequence, with Kaguya's pearls of wisdom and such. I missed that replay, for those memories.
So anyway, on a whim, last Sunday, I opened the game, and decided to "re-enact" the 1cc in order to get this replay back. Managed to 1cc on my first try! Not entirely surprising, I guess, considering that I've improved a lot over the past four years or so that I've been playing Touhou, and again, I realize this isn't some monumental achievement, but it did feel good to restore that replay, to preserve those memories again.
-
Ten Desires Lunatic 1cc, three lives remaining. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21514)
Double Spoiler cleared with both Aya and Hatate.
First-ever capture of Mamizou's final spell (lol).
-
I didn't actually notice this thread and just locked the last thread and was going to make the new thread all like :V and then I noticed this and
:V
-
While I can't remember nor am I keeping track of what particular scenes I did in what order, I know that I am now up to 81/107 scenes done at 90FPS between Aya and Hatate in total.
Why out of 107? Because 12-6 can go fuck itself, I'm not putting up with it.
I remember at least 9-1 and 9-5 went down within the last hour or so. I'm left with only 2 scenes from Levels 8 and 9 now. Making progress even though I really should be doing that whole studying thing right about now.
-
Rather than keep working on 90 FPS DS, I've started working on StB.
This game.
So much random stupid, but at least I reached the last level before extra.
-
FUCK. YES.
90FPS Clear of Levels 1-9 on Double Spoiler!
Cat's Random Walk took me 895 fucking shots with Aya and Hatate combined.
Finally got the clear with Hatate.
85/107

That is awesome. Really looking forward to seeing you get all clear at 90FPS, and trust me when I say I sympathize with how infuriating it can be at times. ;)

Probably missing some things.
-
My list is exactly the same as last time (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,12400.msg813787.html#msg813787).
Yeah, I haven't been playing much lately, not to mention that those achievements I am going for are pretty high-profile.
-
That is awesome. Really looking forward to seeing you get all clear at 90FPS, and trust me when I say I sympathize with how infuriating it can be at times. ;)
Double Spoiler is much easier than Shoot The Bullet though, so I doubt it'll be as profoundly annoying.
Anyway, a couple of Level 10 Scenes went down now, 10-2 took me way too long to get the gimmick, I probably could've saved me horrible horrible pain by looking it the fuck up instead of banging my head against a wall.
87/107, 20 to go! Oh god I'm not looking forward to EX Stage under this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wAgyo-SMP8&feature=youtu.be
Got my TH13 Extra No Death run finally up on Youtube. Definitely easier to watch than per replay. :3
-
I managed to clear LNB EoSD on another shot type, this time with Reimu B instead of A.

I just perfected an Extra stage! Well, depends on whether your definition of "perfect" allows UFO summoning or not. (I also reached 500 million for the first time in that run, though I know I can do better if I allow bombs and deaths.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXPUq2jMF9Y
Accomplishment list?
- Lunatic 1cc of HRtP, LLS, TD, PCB, IN, MoF, SA, MS, GFW, and EoSD, in that order
- Hard 1cc of all games except PoFV, not necessarily in that order
- Some random scoring attempts, see replays.gensokyo.org
- TD no bomb no trance Hard 1cc (no replay, the game crashed on me when I tried to save it)
- That UFO Extra no death no bomb run I just mentioned
That's about it, I think.
Don't we have like ~5 players trying UFO Lunatic right now? Race, anyone?
No thanks, but I bet my score will be the highest. Anyone else who doesn't have the 1cc yet reached 300 million in a survival attempt?
-

You know that summonning Blue UFOs in a survival run shows that you don't know what you're doing, right? :trollface:
-
There are exactly two places where I plan to summon a blue UFO in a survival run:
- After the midboss of stage 4, where the game gives you two solid blue tokens anyway, so I do it for the screen clear.
- During stage 6, since it uses up three solid blue tokens to gain one flashing token, which in some cases is enough for an extra red/green UFO (or at the very least, a flashing/blue UFO for a screen clear during Nue).
I might also summon one during stage 5 after the midboss, since my goal there is to summon as many UFOs as I can for screen clears, though I prioritize red>green>rainbow>blue.
How is that not knowing what I'm doing?
-
Since I was still in a Ten Desires mood, I perfected Stage 2 on Hard (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21525) and got my second Extra clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21526). I had a lot of trouble with this extra back when I first began playing TD, so I'm glad this one didn't take nearly as long. I even beat my old high score :)
-
This community has gotten crazy in terms of skill :V

Because the old ones still remain and the new ones are getting faster than the old ones in terms of skill gain.

Just so you guys know, the PoDD scoreboard is mine, and I don't plan on sharing it.
Let's see now...
Lunatic everything.
SA, EoSD, MoF, TD, PoFV Lunatic cleared at 90fps.
PoDD all characters clear.
VoWG timeout (twice)
That's all the important stuff I guess. And what the hell these threads go by way too fast.
-
Holy crap, bjw lives! :V
-
Just so you guys know, the PoDD scoreboard is mine, and I don't plan on sharing it.
My semi-goal for PoFV :V
I got one hit on Shiki R1 on Normal again without a broken character... too bad the battle lasted around five minutes. Man, she is a pain in the ass. Why won't she just die?!
At least you can really get your score up if you can survive long enough.

Hurr hurr how do I TD extra
Got 144 million this time (versus previous high of 132) despite performing worse
Also can I get some advice on rapidly charging my trance gauge during Nue battle that doesn't involve bombs
@Zil
YOU ARE ON
*Runs off to borrow friend's copy of PoFV

Hey, I'm bored, let's attempt PCB Phantasm.
>perfects the stage portion in its entirety for the first time ever
>misses during Mesh and DDB but nowhere else
>no bombs used in the whole stage
>captures BoLaD for only the second time ever, previous time being with SakuyaA and safespotting it
>captures DBF despite having faced it once before in all of 2012
...I think I like this run.
-
New thread? Oh okay
The clears
Cleared all Windows integer games on Easy and Normal, as well as LLS and MS for Normal
Cleared Hard on PCB, IN, MoF, and TD
Cleared Extra on EoSD, PCB, IN, and MoF
Scores:
Broke 2 billion on IN Easy
Broke 1 billion on UFO Easy, less than 100 million to break 1 billion on Normal
Broke 1 billion on TD Normal (and Hard but I'd like to go higher)
I feel more accomplished at breaking a score than clearing the game. I wonder if I'm weird
-
Aaaand down goes Ran. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21533) That wasn't too bad! It was kind of relaxing, even - like EoSD, it looks like a lot of the cooler cards were locked off to the Extra stage. The stage fairies can go eff themselves though, the jerks.
I went ahead and checked my spell card records, and it looks like my attempts have brought me up to 54 cards captured - six more and I'll have the Phantasm stage unlocked. It shouldn't be too hard either, since I have a bunch of cards on Easy I still have to capture and I know for a fact I can capture Shikigami "Chen" if I keep myself from getting psyched out. Onwards!
-
@Cactu: 22/26 cards captured and no extra lives remaining... Yeah, EoSD No Bombs is crazy. I thought I was not so far away when I game over'd on Sakuya's finale twice. :V
-
Got to Yukari in IaMP Lunatic for the first time. Finally got Remilia to a point where I can safely say that I understand her Spellcards and know what to do. Of course, she's still a goddamn juggernaut, but that fight is easily the coolest one in Story Mode once you understand it.
Yukari didn't seem to have gotten much more difficult, at least all older strategies still worked. Naturally, her penultimate Spellcard still seems to be a load of bullshit that should have never made it into the full game, Jesus Christ, just what were the developers thinking? I'm still hoping that there's just something I'm missing and that it's not just a terribly designed Spellcard.
Ah, well, nonetheless, a 1CC on Lunatic actually starts to seem feasible, though that really hinges on what Suika's last Spellcard has turned into.
-
New thread. Need a post here. Hmm... I haven't done anything of note recently. I've been pretty lazy. Although I suppose I could put that I'm thinking about improving my MoF Lunatic score one of these days. Currently, it's about a billion and that is actually pretty low to be honest. It's not like it took many tries to achieve either.
I watched this replay done by some dude who managed to score 1,3 billion while still bombing a bunch of spells for seemingly no reason and fucking up big time at VoWG. I believe I can do that better so I'll probably be spending some time over the next weeks (when I'm not playing other things or preparing for exams anyway) learning how to raise that faith gauge early on.
Lists? All the Lunatics except for some of the PC-98 games because frankly, if your game isn't going to start before Stage 5 then I don't see much reason in playing it. Other than that, there's a lot of perfect stage/boss runs, some timeouts of hard spells and some half-crappy scores here and there.
-
My greatest accomplishment so far is the decision to stop playing for 2-3 days to clear my mind and salvage my patience and nerves. It's all your fault, Youmu. In the meantime I'm going to watch replays and play bad shareware games from the early '90s.
Also I'm still happy with those 1cc's of EoSD and IN, so listing them here so the post isn't completely out of place.
-
Lists...
1cc on every Lunatic except for Touhous 1, 2, and 4 with every shot type excluding PoDD. All Extras perfected except for PC98 Extras. Few scoreruns on IN, PoFV, and UFO (most notably Alice solo Extra and some PoFV Normal scores). DS speedruns.
How boring. Hopefully summer will be more eventful, although I'm probably going to be even busier than I am now.
Maybe my next scoring goal will be to break the score counter in UFO. I think the SA Lunatic Ultra 1cc's pretty close; Orin and Utsuho have the most broken cards I've ever seen >.>
-
I....I perfected Sanae on Normal!
Better than MoF Easy 1cc, I'm sure :D
Now I have to try 1cc NORMAL :D
Edit: It happens that I am still the last post, so I have to resist my urge of posting this in a separate post:
I 1CC MOF NORMAL HELL YES (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21537)
Sorry but this is too fun to do :)
I hate Kanako, really really hate her :ohdear:
BUT I have defeated you, so die happily now! XDD
-
I 1CC MOF NORMAL HELL YES (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21537)
Hey, congrats! Mountain of Faith was the first Touhou game I ever played, so it always has a place in my heart.
-
So far, not much to put in one of these lists, but...
1ccs:
LLS Normal
PCB Normal (All B-types)
PCB Extra (Reimu B, Sakuya B)
PCB Phantasm (Reimu B)
IN Normal Demo
SA Normal Demo
UFO Normal Demo (A grand total of I think once or twice in my life I've 1cc'd that demo...)
Misc.
Have captured all but 2 spells in the PCB Normal group, namely Merlin's and Lyrica's solo cards. (Wait, I might have gotten Lyrica's like ONCE...)
Have captured all but 2 spells in MoF Normal (Kanako's third and fourth)
Uh...that seems to be about it. Somewhat saddening when I've been playing for, oh...a year and a couple months? Oh well, I've been off and on playing, and I'm making sure I enjoy it, so whatever. On to more things!
-

PCB Lunatic 1cced! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21544)
Died with no lives in stock?though that's only because I had a life and three bombs left at the final seconds of RB and knew I was going to win anyway. >_>
Crap stage 2 and 3, but perfect Lily, 1 bomb no death stage 4 sans the openers and the deathfairy, and a perfect stage 6 with a forward shooting character somehow. I'm happy.

My latest crack at PCB Lunatic netted captures of Stygian Riverside and Wonderous Concierto Grosso, and Eternal Truth and Components of Konpaku.
If only I weren't as shitty at Noisy Poltergeist, Lyrica's thing, Asura Sword, and whatever Youmu's first is.
-
If only I weren't as shitty at Lyrica's thing
What about Ghost Clifford/Pseudo Stradivarius? Bosendorfer is the easiest solo spell imo, but you might find one of the others easier.
I suppose I shouldn't mention I got my first capture of Youmu midboss card in my 1cc today >_> <_<

Ghost Clifford I've actually capped several times before (on hard at least >_>) and Stradivarius is something I am just horrible at.
Clifford I find is something that's easy if you know what you're doing and Stradivarius I just don't know how it works and Whatever Lyrica's Is is really easy and simple but for some reason I can't figure out where to go to not get trapped.
-
Lyrica may have the easiest solo part of the fight but my first 1cc of PCB lunatic died twice with full bombs to that part :V
In accomplishments, playing some DS ultra, got to Stage 8.
-
Yesss, I finally unlocked the Phantasm stage in PCB. Not only that, but I managed to capture all of Yuyuko's spell cards on Normal while I was at it as well, including Resurrection Butterfly -30% Reflowering-! :getdown:
Now all that's left is to take on Yukari now and I can move onto IN. It shouldn't take too long, right? Help.

3/4 LNB EoSD. This time with Marisa A. Perfect stages 1-3, Perfect Patchouli, 1-death Stage 5, and captured Gensokyo, overall 24/26 spellcards captured. It was a pretty good run. Only Marisa B left now.
-
Might as well perfect the whole game while you're at it.
-
"pretty good"? Dang, you're creepy, seriously! However, you're modest, I like that.

And that's 4/4. Lunatic No-Bomb with all shot types! Got this immediately after the Marisa A run, shame that I epicly failed Remilia, would have been a pretty sweet run otherwise. At least I captured green books with max rank, that was nice.
Might as well perfect the whole game while you're at it.
That's what my goal is.
Impressive. What's your lowest death count of all four runs?
Six deaths on the Marisa A run. I could probably do better with Reimu A if I tried hard enough, but I don't really want to bother with Remilia's shenanigans.

EoSD huh? Congrats on no-bombing it with everyone.

I managed to 1cc all routes in Great Fairy Wars on Normal (why does Normal feel like such an accomplishment? xD). What I initially thought to be almost impossible turned out to be quite easy once you know the patterns and when to use freeze. Right now I'm busy with the Extra Stage which is quite nuts. I like that. My best run got me to Shooting Star "Super Perseid, but I keep derping at silly points which mess up my overall performance. I wanna crack the stage today though so that I can start Hard Mode. Wish me luck!

YEEEEEEEEEEEES. After a really faily stage 4/5, I managed my very best run of UFO Stage 6 yet! And a 1CC at that :D
Capped Devil's Recitation, Star Maelstrom, St. Nikou's Air Scroll, AND Flying Fantastica~
On Normal~ This run was sort of uncoordinated because this was my first run on UFO in like a month . _ ." ended with 2 spare lives and 3 spare bombs~ Lol and yes, I still derped a lot in some places in the run :P
EDIT: Oh and Makai Butterfly capture as well but that's not a noteworthy as a capture of Most Valuable Vajra all in the same run~
EDIT2: Posted screenies of 2 lucky dodges on Flying Fantastica in the Lucky Dodges thread.

Reimu B, good choice. When I first started playing I kept breezing through stages with Reimu A's homing amulets, yet wondering why it was taking so long for bosses to die. Now I'm forward focus 4 lyfe yo.

Sure, if you want to split hairs. I meant more, like, pressing (not holding down; pressing) C to switch between the two or three shot types each character has.
As someone who has an easier time with stages than bosses, forward-focus is my default, but yeah. Would be pretty sweet to be able to toggle shot types, though it would probably nerf the games considerably.

I switched to forward focus for that reason.
Although... I failed to capture any of Aya's, Sanae's or Kanako's spellcards in this run, so the score would have been a bit better if I did... but oh well, a 1cc is still a 1cc, regardless of that.

Only SA and UFO left to go on Hard
-
Managed don't even know how many scenes for DS 90FPS yesterday.
6 scenes from Stage 11, giving me a full clear of Stage 11. Which further proves my point about the difficulty of this game being totally fucking sporadic since I had shot counts on a few of these cards that were sub 100 where several of Stage 10's cards are like 400+ and counting.
EX-3 and EX-9, the EX-3 capture was the luckiest nonsense. Reached the last phase for the howevermany time, saw how fast the bullets were coming down and just gave up trying to read them and just rocked the D-pad back and forth in a blind frenzy. I capped. THE DIVINE POWER TO CAUSE MIRACLES
And I cleared 12-8 with Hatate, simply because Hatate trivialises that scene.
I'm presently 97/107 cards now. Only 10 remain!
10-4
10-5
10-7
12-3
12-4
12-7
EX-4
EX-5
EX-7
EX-8
BAM! BOOM! 10-4 GO BYE BYE! 9 remaining! I actually screwed up the last shot and then just began going "ohshitohshitohshitohshitohshit" and then somehow managed to survive long enough to take another shot and land it. :D
And then goes 10-5 after the method finally clicked with me. 8 remain.
-
Guess I'll do the list thing.
Easy,normal and hard mode 1ccs-Lls,Ms,EosD,PCB, IN,MoF, SA, UFO, TD.
Extra-PCB, MoF.
Currently being brutalized BY-UFO Lunatic. Good thing I really like this game.
-
I played an hour of Double Spoiler today. Made it from Level 1 to level 8 at which point I didn't feel like going on because I had just been Shou'd by the last scene in which I kept flying into the lasers like a bloody imbecile. I dunno, apparently if you lose your concentration and don't focus on the lasers you tend to get hit by them.
But that's not my accomplishment. I managed to improve my score on 6-5 (the best bloody scene in the early game btw.) by around 50,000 points by managing to get up close to Yuugi on all four shots. I think I might actually get better if I had put myself behind Yuugi because apparently that'll yield you a better bonus. My timing is also not good enough. The WR guy get's 160k per shot where I only get 130k. Still happy about it though.

Minor accomplishments are minor, but I was bored. This was
100% luck easier than I believed.

10-7 Cleared after 685 bloody shots! All of Stage 10 cleared at 90FPS!
The last shot was the riskiest shit, since I was boxed in my bullets and too shitless to move so I just sat there and charged, and then ran into the enormous laser to take the last shot. It worked.
Only three from Stage 12 and four and Stage EX to go.
UPDATE 1: Yaaaaay! Beat 12-3! Ended up doing it with Hatate because then I only had to live through one cycle of the pattern instead of two. 101/107

Now that's a great example of a good use of resources. And by that I mean, making use of MoF's generous bombing system. But even the bomb resources won't help a player against VoWG, which you handled really well there. Good thing you had two lives left at that final second, though, eh? Losing your last life there would have been truly rage inducing.

Barely made it. I have no idea why do I have so much trouble with this game. Also, this is my first 1cc done with a non-homing shot type, and I only made the switch yesterday.
Next target - Mountain of Faith, I guess. There's still a long road ahead.

Unidentified "Red Cloak, Blue Cloak" 90FPS Clear
A grand total of 1545 shots in total between Aya and Hatate to finally score this clear.

Yeah, if I lost my last life there, then I would've posted in the rage thread instead. Since I had 2 lives remaining, I pretty much let it slide (especially since I did a good portion of that spell at 0.20 power).
Oh, and thanks.

From the Touhou Tourney 28, a Normal clear with 740,000,000 points.
This is more than my regular haul from PCB and MoF.
I do not expect to ever manage that again.
(http://i.imgur.com/9Fn56.png)
Yup, it's more than a PCB Normal run :V
Got 716 million on a first SakyuaB clear.

Wouldn't it be great to be able toggle between shot types in-game?
Or you would be able to assign one as your focused and the other as your unfocused.
-
I finally did it: a PCB Phantasm clear with Reimu B. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21634) It was a really weird run, too - I somehow managed to mess up Yukari's Spiriting Away and Shikigami "Ran Yakumo", but also captured Dakini's Heavenly Possession for the first time and got one hell of a miracle extend just before heading into Danmaku Bounded Field. But who cares? It's over, it's finally over!
...Except now I have to do it again with Marisa and Sakuya.
Noooooooooooo
-
Do it with Marisa first.
Then when it comes time to clear with Sakuya it'll be an absolute cakewalk.
I did it with Sakuya first and now I can't do it with either Marisa :V
Interesting that you cleared with ReimuA before ReimuB, though?
In my experience, ReimuA was always too slow in clearing cards and all the included extra time was ample enough for me to die on most occasions >_>
-
Interesting that you cleared with ReimuA before ReimuB, though?
Oh God no - I don't even want to know how stuck I'd be if I'd tried it with Reimu A, haha. Nah, what I'm doing right now is clearing the Ex stages as I go through the series using my preferred shot for each character - my plan is to go back and clear them again with the rest of them once I've gotten around to doing a few Hard 1ccs and improved a bit. So far, it's Reimu B, Marisa A and Sakuya A for PCB, making this my first real Phantasm clear.
Marisa might not be as bad as I'm expecting, since I've a feeling she can break some of Yukari's nastier spells faster than Reimu can (and therefore die a whole lot less). But those two bombs per life... I have to admit, I'm dreading it a little. :ohdear:
-
Don't forget faster moving speed and larger hitbox! :]
The deal-breaker for Marisa in my view, however?
Every time I bomb I end up losing upwards of 130,000 Cherry.
And that is unacceptable.
-
Don't forget faster moving speed and larger hitbox! :]
:colonveeplusalpha:
But seriously, this is gonna suuuck.

Perfect Prismriver battle, with no less than three dodges where I didn't know what I was doing. <_< Stage portion kind of crumbled during and after Lily, but I'll have that entire perfect run before long.

"Don't make mistakes on the UFO chain, and don't die with bombs remaining (or at least, don't die too many times with bombs remaining)."
Must've said this in the derp thread an hour ago, but getting to Ichirin when dying with bombs only once is a huge achievement for someone like me. Actually, I bet it's the first time it's actually happened.
Good job. :<
-
UFO Lunatic 1cc!
Wonderful. Good job.

MoF 1cc'd with all Reimu shottypes. It will take some time getting used to Marisa though... :V
After the second run with ReimuC (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=21637), which was pretty good if not for the 4(!) deaths at Mountain Of Faith, I decided that I'm trying to capture it.
And it's done. (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=21638)

Well.
That was anti climatic, the last scene I ended up doing while shooting for all clear 90FPS Double Spoiler was Blazing Star or EX-8.
I only ended up taking 88 shots... it was kind of...bizzarely underwhelming. :V
ALL CLEEEEAR! 90FPS DOUBLE SPOILER, DONE. Well, 107/107 but 12-6 is broken and I refuse to play it because no, I will not fight the coding, that is just plain silly.
And since I've been saving replays for literally every single stage, it is time for me to go and make a video series. I'm just struggling for a punchy title now.
A .zip file containing literally all 107 replays just in case I manage to lose one or something (http://www.mediafire.com/?bwzx9uex708uh42)
The total number of shots I took to do this was 17, 355, I was bored so I counted them. *shrug*
-
Can't tell if this is easier or harder than the StB challenge, but you both had to dedicate way too much time for it and that's admirable. Good job!

But seriously, very well done. I haven't played Double Spoiler, but I know very well from experience what it's like to all clear photography at 90 FPS. Really looking forward to that video! :D

Also aced her fourth nonspell, but that's more of a personal accomplishment seeing as I'm usually too derp to complete two loop-arounds.

Cleared MoF Extra Stage~ Capped Mishaguji-sama on my first encounter, *almost* capped Suwa War, only to let a spawning vine bullet snipe me in the last 10 seconds..., died stupidly to Froggy Braves the Elements, and bombed to Kanako's 2nd spell because of stupidity of myself not leading her away from the other columns. Oh well, good first clear for me~ ^^ Oh right, I DIDN'T capture Red Frog either... *sob* It's difficult...

because it doesn't go from 12-5 to 12-7.
Nope! Shit's broken! There's something to be said for other patterns being perceived "bullshit" or incredibly difficult. This one simply isn't functional.
-
Congrats. I think. Please tell those of us who doesn't know stuff about PoDD what the accomplishment is. :D
My guess would be a proper Chiyuri 1cc. The score is high, too.
-

Replays of it aren't functional, and bullets can spawn directly on your hitbox, but it works. The actual card when playing works, but it does have a BS component to it.
-
Let's go with a minor accomplishment today - Although I see myself having extreme difficulty at this point in time, I can safely say I can reach Marisa's Test Slave without TOO much trouble.
Sadly, starting about THERE is when I begin to derp hard.
-
Replays of it aren't functional, and bullets can spawn directly on your hitbox, but it works. The actual card when playing works, but it does have a BS component to it.
There are occasions where you will just arbitrarily die for no visible reason. It's got something to do with the bullets not being visible but still being there as far as hitbox data is concerned, I don't know. Switching scenes only delays the occurrence of the bug so that won't prevent it entirely. Beating the scene is primarily a matter of not having the game bug out on you in the middle of your attempt. The scene is broken and I refuse to play it because I'm not willing to put up with the programming of the game itself working against me, that is a silly thing to suggest and not worth doing in the slightest.
And really, what would it prove to do it? That I can beat my head against the proverbial wall long enough to get an attempt where the coding doesn't completely spaz out on me? It's a pointless, fruitless endeavour that will accomplish absolutely nothing and isn't even an adequate display of skill, only of ludicrous tolerance for some truly shitty programming, how that even slipped past playtesting is utterly beyond me. I wouldn't even have anything to show for it with regards to the sake of completion because replays rarely work.
So, no. I'm not doing it. Feel free to attempt the scene yourself if you please, but I'm not willing to put up with a broken scene that will leave me feeling empty and dissatisfied.
Unrelated to this scene but related to my endeavour: 90FPS Stages 9 to 11! This time with less Ghostbusters Escape From the City. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRXrzzmtqm4) :derp:

only 1 life through Kanako? My first time reaching lunatic Kanako reached VoWG despite having no lives in stock for the whole battle.
That's what I did. My amount of lives includes the one when there aren't any spares.

My guess would be a proper Chiyuri 1cc. The score is high, too.
Yes. It's a proper Chiyuri 1cc. And it is now on Youtube. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=954AqfL_yUw)

oh my god that was the easiest PWG I've ever seen. So many instances of a second of no dodging, hardest part was the required dash up at one point.
Check out the PWG in my perfect of the stage, that was a tricky one.
Also I FINALLY BEAT StB 5-5! never again, only did it because I came close a few times.
-
oh my god that was the easiest PWG I've ever seen. So many instances of a second of no dodging, hardest part was the required dash up at one point.
I can guess it doesn't count as an accomplishment?
-
I can guess it doesn't count as an accomplishment?
It can count, that particular PWG looked more like hard mode.
Which I still fail about a third of the time.
So nice job on the cap either way, since it's PWG. (just don't expect any other caps of it to be anywhere near that easy :P)
-
Perfecting PCB Normal Stage 5 was surprisingly fun for a two level difficulty drop, but it's done. If third hardest Stage 5 was this easy, the others can't be far behind.
Moving on up with a perfect PCB Stage 5 Hard. Lunatic might take a little while longer, methinks. >_>
-
Barely an accomplishment since I managed to lose FOUR lives to Kanako when I can usually get her in like 2, but... Finally got around to beating Mountain of Faith. Now I get to die repeatedly in Extra, yay! Need to readjust to Extra-speed bullets. Anyway, got my MoF clear, so I'm satisfied.

A UFO Hard No-bombs attempt. I actually wanted to post this in Rage thread because this performance is beyond awful but I think I'll post it here anyway simply because I got so far on my first random-never-to-be-attempted-again (well maybe some other time) attempt that somehow includes ReimuB who i'll just add is a horrible character for my playstyle. I'll stick to the good girls next time.
I died three times on Ichirin and three times on Shou's second non-spell and a lot of other bad places. You can watch the replay if you enjoy watching people really fail at shooters. I still got to Devil's Recitation though so I don't ever want to hear anyone complain about resources in this game again.

Quite a few things the past days. Yay for vacation.
PCB Stage 1 Lunatic Perfect (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21662)
PCB Stage 2 Lunatic Perfect (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21663)
GFW Extra Clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21664)
GFW Route A-1 Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21665)
All routes in GFW 1cc'd on Hard as well and timeouts of Poison Nail "Undead Murderer", Path Sign "TAO Fetal Movement ~Dao~", "Divine Spirits' Universe" and Honor "Ranks of Twelve Levels" (Lunatic) but replays.gensokyo.org is being stupid with TH13 uploads right now so I can't provide replays. Will do so later on once it works though.
You can tell I was quite bored. :I
Also lol, next to no videos for gold medal captures in GFW's Extra. I'm not surprised though, seeing how some spells are like humanly impossible without slowing the game down. Anyone wanna prove me wrong? :3
-
Buu, it's more something to do with a Stage that's four minutes long and horrendously boring once you get the approach down. As you said, most of the spells are pretty fucking impossible if you don't slow down the game so to gold medal them you'd have to treck through that entire stage just to get one shot at something that's basically based on luck unless you are some sort of danmaku god which probably loses it's appeal to most people very fast.
There are some pretty delicious cards in there though that are just hard but doable. You could go capture those. :V
OT: I got a nice little present in compensation for my bad UFO run just before. A 'perfect' run of MoF Stage 4 that includes a capture of the post-Momiji barrage without stalling Momiji to make things easier. It also allowed me to capture a brutal PWG. Very intense and very satisfying. The run also includes Aya forgotting that she's supposed to attack on the final non-spell. She's a bit silly like that sometimes and just stands still which while no bullets even go near me. I have no idea what triggers that though or if it's just random.
-
You have to stand directly below her. She moves right if you're to the right of her, left if you're to the left, etc. Most of MoF works this way.
-
Yeah, I gold medal'd a few already but spells like Closure Sign "Big Crunch and Unsealed Magic "Open Universe are pretty killer, with freezing already. Not that it matters though, gold medals aren't anything I'd really consider doing in the game anytime soon (if ever). I'm just surprised that there are no videos uploaded of those spells, I figured some freaks might just have been able to do those. ;) Perhaps there are some, just not on YouTube.

I'm just surprised that there are no videos uploaded of those spells, I figured some freaks might just have been able to do those. ;) Perhaps there are some, just not on YouTube.
I did use Hourglass the one time to repeatedly attempt the Extra spells for Gold medals (because that's the smart thing to do when you've never actually beaten an Extra Stage normally) and Big Crunch is possible but much too difficult for me to pull off but Open Universe is basically impossible. Unfortunately even if I repeatedly savestated and loaded Open Universe again and again with Hourglass until I finally pulled it off via insane luck and sheer persistence I'd have nothing to show for it because Hourglass causes GFW to crash when the replay screen comes up for me. :V
Quite a few of them are easy (relatively speaking, anyway, they're still difficult) to gold like Fairy Destruction Ray (freezing stops doing jackshit at the last phase anyway) and Shoot The Little Moon but the lack of videos mostly stems from no-one having the patience to play through the longest Extra Stage to get an attempt at a very difficult series of cards. At least Stage 6 is short when going for VoWG timeouts and captures (not that I have this problem, Hourglass ftw).
-
What is that Hourglass thing you speak of?
-
What is that Hourglass thing you speak of?
Hourglass (http://code.google.com/p/hourglass-win32/) is a TAS tool for PC games, more or less. Slowdown and savestates, that sort of thing. It is cheating, of course. But no-one seems to mind using savestates to practice difficult shit on the PC-98 games so I figured that using this to practice the likes of VoWG or Byakuren's last spell-who's-name-i've-totally-forgotten was fair game. 'Tis a wee bit buggy though, being a relatively new thing and all.
-
I'll have to check that out sometime. If it works, then it would probably mean less tedium and more playing.

Final part of the 90FPS Double Spoiler series (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrs2vQcVksk). With 12-6 included no less thanks to Ridley 64 being awesome and very kindly giving me his unique, kinda working 90FPS replay to record off!
Now that I'm done with this though, I have absolutely no idea what to do next. Maybe I'll go and finish up that Touhoumon Nuzlocke or something...
-
And a perfect PCB Stage 6 normal, with the first attempt to not derp on the stage portion being the winner. I don't remember Yuyuko being that much of a step down aside from RB. >_>
No. 17 Umbrella Sign "Parasol Star Memories" 1/27
Awesome!

Congrats :) Glad I was able to help. Though now I'm wondering why I never thought to try it with Hatate since it probably would have been less trouble that way. Oh well :V
-
I finally cleared PCB Phantasm with both Marisa A (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21671) and Sakuya A (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21672) today. It's kind of weird playing the two of them back-to-back, since Marisa took around 100 tries before I finally got a successful run whereas I curbstomped Yukari into the fucking ground on the first try with Sakuya. Sakuya: best playable character ever?
Seriously, I have no idea how the hell I managed to pull off some of those captures (Boundary of Life and Death oh my God), much less finish with four lives (!) in stock. That run was just crazy.
-
It's always a bad omen when the accomplishments topic is on the second page.
This took far too long, but PCB Lunatic Stage 5 perfected! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21690) I'll stop here, as anything else I feel like saying doesn't belong outside the rage thread.
-
Reached 999990 faith in MoF Easy (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21688), which I consider an accomplishment. (And 1.3 billion score as well, which seems pretty high. Even though I failed Kanako's third card for some reason.) It was easier than expected once I started looking closely at my replays to keep track of where the faith counter was decreasing.
Oh, and if anyone has any advice on how I could improve my score, other than the obvious like don't fail any of Kanako's cards and deathbomb wherever I didn't properly ram into a bullet while bombing, feel free to mention it.
-
Sorry - it's a late reply, I know. Buuut...
So I guess I should update my accomplishment list.
This time in sexy Excel format. I'll have to go through and actually make this good looking later.
(http://i.imgur.com/KNTyu.png)
This is a pretty great idea. I've been writing down everything I'm aiming to do in a notebook and crossing them off as I play, but keeping track of it in Excel seems like it'd be much more convenient. Brb, totally gonna steal this for myself. :3
EDIT: Finished making a template! It's attached below, if anyone wants to look at it. (ED2: Made a few small changes.)
-
I DON'T HAVE EXCEL SO I CAN'T FUCKING DO THAT
It seems really fuckin' nifty :c
-
Yeah...so I kinda started doing Shoot The Bullet at 90FPS. Only my run has a twist, because it looks like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03IP2LcC6ms). UNSUBTLE PLUG GET!
Okay, it's functionally identical to the point where replays and score.dat's cross transfer just fine since the mod is entirely cosmetic and the only reason I'm subjecting myself to this all over again is because I'm still acclimated to the 90FPS photography control scheme. Not being able to flip the lens is kind of annoying though.
Anyway yeah Stages 1-3 (barring 3-6 because LASERS) already done at 90FPS because I'm still used to way this controls and I'm doing this to the best of my patience before it wears off and I drop down to boring normal speed stuff.
Shoot The Bullet is way harder than Double Spoiler though, since it never even tries to pretend it is not going to stomp on your nut sack repeatedly.

[16:37] <Kuruminut> I cleared EoSD lunatic with only four deaths
[16:46] <Sana> Good gravy
[16:46] <Kuruminut> http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21701 Yes. It IS good gravy
And everyone had dinner that night. Except for Remilia.
-
So, I cleared IN Hard on my very first try (0/0 Route A with Border Team but who cares I still cleared it be quiet >3<), and also got my MoF Extra cap.
It was starting to get annoying when I would flawlessly sweep the stage 20 times, only to have Suwako kill me three times on Iron Ring (which isn't even that bad ;w;).
Meanwhile...
UFO Extra with ReimuB is utter hell and I am seriously considering attempting a reclear with SanaeB, who I can't acclimatise to .
SA Extra, I have yet to see Koishi's second spell ;_;
IN Extra is boring and I don't enjoy it, but it seems doable.
PCB Extra isn't far off, but Chen is an absolute roadblock.
EoSD Extra...why is EoSD so clunky...
TD Extra is just clipdeaths all the time and aaaaaaah.
And, of course, PoFV Normal 1cc is going poorly. The file deleted itself, so I can't use Yuuka/Medicine/Aya, and the AI brings out some utterly insane attacks.
Medicine also survived for five minutes on one occasion, and I think I recall Shiki using four spells at once while Lily appeared...
Yeah, I'm going to be chasing this for a while.
-
you should try GFW Extra PCB is probably the easiest out of those, Chen is just sidestepping nonspell>streaming>fixed, learnable pattern. Watch a video and see what I mean.
-
For PoFV, here's a score.dat (https://dl.dropbox.com/u/41893180/scoreth09.dat) with all characters unlocked. I don't remember where I got it, otherwise I'd just link there, but yeah there's no shame in not wanting to unlock all the characters. It's boring. (Also, if you do use that, it's named scoreth09.dat; be sure to change it to just score.dat before you put it in your PoFV folder.)
Other than that, pretty much what Seiga said. The nonspell isn't hard, the first spell is shotgun and bomb, the second spell is learnable and at worst it's another bomb. Even with Marisa that's a net gain in resources.
-
Zil: congrats on the Chiyuri 1cc. That's a hell of a feat.
I know I said that elsewhere but I wanted to say it here too. You deserve major props.

Now that I've done it I think I can set PoDD aside for a while. It's literally all I've been doing since summer break started.

Oh my god.
Somehow I managed to capture 10-4 and 10-5 on StB ultra :getdown:
10-4 decided to give me some very open gaps on the 6th and 7th phases, it was also my first time getting past the 7th one on ultra.
I though that 10-5 was impossible at first but then I tried out of boredom and got to the last phase, so I tried a few more times and i got it.
And with this I finally reached 66 scenes cleared and unlocked the EX scenes on ultra :toot:

Perfects are always fun. Wait, UFO? Never mind.
4DNB PCB Extra, and three of those Ds were derps (it's usually a bad idea to take your eyes off your character on Kokkuri-san's Contract, no?) so a perfect extra isn't farfetched. Except for Charming Siege.
-
Perfect runs, huh.
Let's say I would be happy to see you break 1b with a perfect, Seiga!
Achievements... I don't have any recent ones and probably will not have any for a while, given how UFO beat me and now I mainly want to take it easy and play stuff for fun, not the grind of hours and hours and hours. Maybe I should look for that PCB extra/easy/normal nfnb 1b-set myself. Or perhaps beat that one dude who humiliated me on phantasm ages ago. But I probably would need help with the stage and I don't really know who to ask.
Argh, sorry for the blogpost.
And good job with the recent lunatic clears. I pretty much saw Karisa and Zil's coming, but there was at least one pleasant surprise here. Good work, keep it up and scorerun if you need stuff to do.

Omg. Yesh~ 1CC of IN Hard (RouteB)
I may have just barely ended the game with 0/0, but I feel like I did fairly well for it being partially blind on Kaguya (wasn't very certain about how some spells were on Hard mode). Also, captured her very last Last Spell on my first encounter too! Okay, I'll admit that the spaces seemed a little bit forgiving, but I still did it~ the Hard 1CC is what I'm proud of though :3
-
I don't know if this counts, but I've developed a healthy coping mechanism for constantly restarting in Touhou: Disabling the BGM and turning on my MP3 Player, listening to whatever song I feel like.
In this case, I'm addicted to the Story of Evil, Clockwork Lullaby, and Seven Deadly Sins series.
I count this as an achievement regarding the games because this highly lowers frustration on my end and allows me to practice more.
Problem? :trollface:

FUCK YES I FINALLY UNLOCKED SA STAGES 5 AND 6 HARD FOR PRACTICE
I continued to get both but hey at least I can practice them whenever I want.
Let's see, Rin took one continue, Utsuho took five.
Oh shit I'm going to fucking die.
Anyway, I perfected SA Stages 1 and 2 on Hard in the same run.
I usually suck. I usually die or bomb somewhere.
But my Nofocus attempt yesterday inspired a new method, and here's my method.
Just don't focus. If you focus, you move too slow and you'll get hit by something.
Stage 2, it's just an average day. It's really just the last one that should give you a run for your money for being the Washing Machine of Doom as my friends and I call it.

That was easy?

DBDB and Flying Insect's Nest back to back captures. On lunatic.
This means 2/4 on DBDB, my random dodging skills are way too good.
and just now Subterranean Sun capture.
Only 3 lunatic boss patterns remain to be captured in all of Subterranean Animism! (and I've never capped Rorschach, Embers of Love or Genetics :V), and those 3 are Orin's 3rd, Orin's last and Utsuho's first-and I know how to do all of them too.

3 Death 7 Bomb Stage 5 Hard
That may not seem like much but compared to my track record that's damn good.
Plus the only reason I seem like a machine in the first part is that I played THAT part 12 times before I got into the actual stage.

Ten Desires Hard no bombs 1CC with Sanae
(http://album.foto.ru:8080/photos/or/123238/2534349.jpg) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLWZ8wsI-rU&feature=plcp)
Welp. That was somewhat easier than my previous no bombs 1CC with Marisa. Sanae's firepower is significantly weaker, but her faster trance charging ability makes planning trance routes much easier. This run contains some amazing stuff (like no deaths stage 5) along with some horrible derps, especially at Miko.
Also i dunno what to take as my next goal. Current tournament no vertical challenge gets boring after a while. I want Touhou 14 so bad :ohdear:

That's two lunatic 1ccs down before SA, TD, and UFO on Hard.
Wow.

That's two lunatic 1ccs down before SA, TD, and UFO on Hard.
Sounds accurate enough to me.
I was going for MoF lunatic and UFO hard at the same time.
I got PCB and IN lunatic before SA hard (and before TD existed).
Basically, PCB lunatic next :V
Also i dunno what to take as my next goal. Current tournament no vertical challenge gets boring after a while. I want Touhou 14 so bad :ohdear:

Utsuho is not that hard of a final boss.

I always used to have trouble with Ran's third card, but my recent battles with Youmu reminded me that you don't need to tackle something with dignity and skill if you can tackle it with cheap misdirection.
Perfect PCB Extra up to Unilateral Contact, which seems to be a crapshoot unless I can get down quicker. Still 4 deaths though, mostly due to my reluctance to move on the final part of her survival. Need more practice.

I made it to Stage 6 with three lives and got to VoWG with 2, and despite two big mistakes, I managed to get my dodging back up to speed and clear the final third on my last life. Score's not that great, but I don't really mind :V
Maybe now I'll get to UFO Hard...

SA Lunatic or SA in general is half-trivialized via bombspam strategies. All you need to do is play well during the 50% of the game you're good at and bomb the rest.
MoF is the same but 10/90 instead of 50/50. :V

@Seiga and Malkyrian: Thanks for the advice, and the score.dat. I've been going after PCB's most recently, and it seems perfectly doable at this point: it's gotten to the point where every death is preventable, even if I have yet to see Ran's last two cards.
As far as actual achievements go, I finally captured Lunatic Seiga's final spell with Sanae.
This shouldn't be an accomplishment, but it is.

PCB Lunatic 1cc with SakuyaAimbot BV
-
It looks like I typoed (I meant Yoshika), but challenge accepted, I guess.
Okay, let's see how this ends...
...
;A;
That took a combined attempt number (Reimu and Youmu) of 320.
That's the highest number of attempts a spell has ever taken for me, after 180-odd on one of Kaguya's spells.
I'll post a replay in the morning.
;A;
-
Small Demon's Revival lunatic capture!
3 spells to go-one I've double KOed, and the other 2 I've done with only 1 (stupid) death!
-
PCB Lunatic 1cc with SakuyaAimbot BV
Planning to do that with no-vert.
See you in 2 years BV
-
Faily Wars B-1 Lunatic 2cc. Got pretty damn close to 1cc'ing on my second attempt. I was two lives short of victory. Watching the replay I could count 10 dodging related failures so i guess i could clear soon enough if I can find the time for it.
This route has some seriously awesome spells so I'll definitely be back for it. Two words: Bright Night - This series needs more stuff like that.
I'll also have to look up a replay to find out how to do Elfin Canopy.
EDIT: Well... scratch that. B-1 Lunatic clear get. B-2 coming up next time i feel like playing with those adorable fairies.
-
I tried a No focus PoFV Youmu run out of nowhere. (I've actually forgotten how to use focus properly.) Beat my old score of course, which was done with focus. :derp:
More importantly, I learned that Youmu's charge attack makes the spirits explode. That puts Youmu with Marisa on the freaky list. Reisen's artillery shell is also screwy in a different way. It won't even detonate when it hits them. It just vanishes.
Whatever. I really can't stand having two movement speeds like that. PoDD corrupted me.
-

東方妖々夢 scoring highly recommened, Zil.
Okay, okay. Not funny. (PCB is really hard to score well in and while it - is - mainly unfocused play, focused calculation every now and then is needed, to time borders)
Uhm, I hardly know about non-Touhou shmups, but DOJ was funny when I tried it a bit. Also you should try out Trigonometry Wars (4 is the newest), since the have been done with the cool "not overly serious" way. Also the game's inbuilt instructions manual is probably the best manual I've ever read.
For Touhou shmups, if you're not appealed by scoring, you could try some conditions. Or ultra patches, hey. Those tend to be rather funny.
Let's Play Mountain of Faith Ultra?
I remember playing it while streaming due to Vanhaomena or Cactu's request. I liked it, we had fun and I got raped by everything. It has it's perks, like every ultra. You just need to go around the bullshit for the sweet bits, Esupanitix.
And MoF ultra is far call the most bullshit ultra I've played. Compared to Night of Imperishable HORRIBLERAPE's midboss Wriggle card, ultra VoWG is a joke. And I've had a lot of fun with HORRIBLERAPE as well. You just need to have a kick for the stuff, and avoid the most horrible shit.
Also, Zil, you should go to #Ijiyatsu for all those big boy's shmup players.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't get on me about Uwabami Breakers, it was worked on by ZUN, it has a song that he composed, it uses his engine for Mountain of Faith, I think that's good enough to register as a Touhou game despite lacking little girls (Besides your main character).
Anyway, I perfected Stage 1 the first time I got to the boss, and I sucked at stage 2.
[attach=1]
People like Uwabami Breakers too, so why not have a section for that, Gensokyo.org? :V
-
Recommend me a good one and I'll try it. I'm running out of shmups to play. :D
I personally never enjoyed them too much because of the lack of focused movement. That is pretty much the reason i didn't get to like them. Not that they are bad or anything, just not exactly my cup of tea. The Psikyo games are as far as i can see almost entirely about macrododging and fast bullets. If you don't have any trouble with lacking the option to slow down for precision then I'm sure you'll enjoy them.
You could try out Gunbird 2, Dragon Blaze or Strikers 1999. If you play Gunbird 2 then make sure to play as the Sultan guy. Seriously, he is the most amazing shot type ever as he's riding on a flying carpet, using curved swords as weapons. Dragon Blaze is just very cool and Strikers 1999 I have on Sapz Authority is very good.
-

I know you meant by Psikyo, but I was simply reccommending shmups.

Gunbird 2 is pure undiluted awesomeness. don't use arabian guy he's shite, use the yantere loli with the jetpack or the gay samurai instead mmkay
oh yeah Touhou accomplishments. I've actually been playing MoF and occasionally some UFO a lot this past week or so. I want to get better with an arcade stick and thought Touhou would be good to train with. I'm still playing like garbage most of the time and hardly capturing anything but I feel myself getting more consistent every day, which is sort of an accomplishment I guess...?

And make them fast.

Alright then, I guess I'll try Gunbird 2. Maybe break up my feverish DOJ playing a bit. Macrododging and fast bullets sounds very nice (not that you don't do that in DOJ).

I'd love to jump into this derail to recommend any game from the eXceed series, in particular eXceed3rd Jade Penetrate and eXceed3rd Jade Penetrate Black Package. eXceed2nd is also fun if you like Ikaruga.
-
Ponies make my skin crawl. I'll probably end up playing it eventually though. :V
I actually tried the demo for eXceed2nd a while ago, though unfortunately it would only run at 30fps, and sometimes less than that. Never tried 3rd though, since I just assumed it also wouldn't work. In any event, I really should get a better computer one of these days. Hopefully one a with a keyboard that isn't so malignant.

I cleared TD Extra. Not saying much. But it was pretty good to do it with 2 lives and 2 bombs left. Should've tranced more...
Anyway, what's this about clearing the normal game on normal or higher again with a character that's already 1cc'd for a different ending? O.o

I'm lucky if it takes 200.

And Fairy Wars B-2 Lunatic clear. Two attempts this time.
This route wasn't as fun as B-1. There were a lot of spells I didn't really like such as everything the B-2-2 boss has as well as The Three Fairies' Great Triangle. Cards that are more about finding some trick and then doing that without a whole lot of dodging. If nothing else, the spells in B-1 were a lot more entertaining.
Anyway, that was all A and B routes. I guess I'll go for the C routes next.
-
I still haven't done Unreasonable Butterfly Storm, actually.
Not a typo.
-
I did the impossible: I died to Youkai Polygraph! Those needle bullets really like to fuck you over wherever possible with their questionable hit detection. :><:
On a lighter side, I managed to Lunatic 1cc SA again, after another rather long hiatus from the games. Orin fucked me over hard but I managed to keep it up and beat the game with three lives left over. ^^
-
MoF Extra with Ultra patch - without autobomb (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21774). Compared to that 3/0 life/bomb clear or whatever I managed back when I played with autobombing, I imagine this looks like shit, I'm trying for a safe clear to avoid frustration, took me around 20 tries in total, 6 which reached Suwako with satisfactory resources.

I'm certainly crazy and that card is unfair unfun bullshit. Ranks as one of the worst cards out there.
I think I might have 200 attempts down too, though last time I played it was months ago. I just don't feel like wasting my time on it and 100 other bad cards in IN.

Finally did i-i-i-i-it! SA Stage 3 Lunatic perfected! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21775)
Took me quite a few tries to figure out a good way to go around Yuugi's last non-spell but with persistence and a lot of luck (the part right before the boss battle, christ!), I finally did it. Whooo!

+1, before I managed to do it I had more than one run with only one death, during the laser spam. Congrats, it's always good to perfect a stage.
And about UBS, I managed to clear it in 4 tries before I had even 1cced Normal, by slowly going left the whole time IIRC. What are you guys doing?

Yeah, I had a lot of runs where I died only once throughout the stage, scattered around about pretty much everywhere though, worst case dying at her last non-spell. >.<

FUCK YOU.
Aren't you guys Lunatics?
In most respects, IN is more memory than dodging skill, unless you're going for a perfect. Besides that, I don't think I want to sit there for an hour hearing "pichuu~n!" and "DUHNUHNUHDUHNUHNUHDANANADANANADANANADANANA"
I say most respects because when it comes to things like perfects, Stage 4 and both Stages 6A and 6B, that requires skill but you can go off of memory and beat it just fine.
On the inside I consider Mountain of Faith my first Lunatic 1cc because it's less memory and more skill. Still needs memory but you need skill to accompany it.
-
I can probably do it no sweat nowadays, but I found it unfair back then because focusing on the yellow/green/lightblue butterflies and their funky hitboxes was a bit too much when you're trying to survive bursts of butterflies that spawn essentially in an instant. The whole ultra-fast thing you have to do with those butterflies has always felt cheap, too.
edit
1/83
I had to go through a wall to do it.
It is a nightmare via sight-reading because you have to look up to read the fast waves but look down to read the yellow/green/blue waves. It forces memorization unless you're lucky / really good. Is that good enough a reason?
-
The fast curving butterflies are aimed.
-
Whee, I did it again! MoF Stage 5 Lunatic Perfect. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21777)
Now we're even, Sanae-chan~
-
Yes, they are, but you can't stream them because of their weird curves and because of movements you have to do to dodge the other butterflies. The pattern essentially needs to be memorized or else you can't abuse their 'aimed' property.
-
Unseasonable Butterfly Storm? It's certainly not easy, but it's far from impossible. Having not faced it in quite a while, I beat it in about 7 attempts, then caught it twice in a row.
My personal strategy is to start at the right corner and slowly move left as the curves come (note that I'm using border team). Once I reach the center, I am suuuuure to wiiiiin, I stay there for a few seconds, move left as usual, then break the pattern and move back right. By minimizing the amount of times you work against the curved bullets, you maximize your chance of survival. With this, the only variables are the butterfly bullets not in the curves.
-
Yes, they are, but you can't stream them because of their weird curves and because of movements you have to do to dodge the other butterflies. The pattern essentially needs to be memorized or else you can't abuse their 'aimed' property.
Actually you can stream them to the left (right doesn't really work as well). Just don't use as little movements as you normally would for streaming, because yeah they curve and stuff. You need to dash to the right in between walls eventually with most characters but often only once or twice (you don't even need to with Remilia, just set your familiars, go to the right side of the screen, and move to the left - solo Remilia took me the least tries at 4).
Also if you no-horizontal it the curved walls won't hit you at all and you can focus on the other bullets. Sometimes a bullet is spawned that is undodgable without horizontal movement, though, so it's a bit luck-based. I think I only did it for characters like solo Alice who need to stay under Wriggle because no range, or Youmu because it ends in like two waves.

The spell you are talking about isn't about memory. It's about dodging. If you aren't winning, dodge harder.
that requires skill but you can go off of memory and beat it just fine.
What does that even mean?
On the inside I consider Mountain of Faith my first Lunatic 1cc because it's less memory and more skill. Still needs memory but you need skill to accompany it.
As you do with basically everything else? Memory is useless if you don't have what it takes to pull of the stuff you're supposed to. Less static attacks sure but also a hell of a lot more bombs so IN might just require more skills than MoF.
It is a nightmare via sight-reading because you have to look up to read the fast waves but look down to read the yellow/green/blue waves. It forces memorization unless you're lucky / really good. Is that good enough a reason?
No. You shouldn't be relying on luck nor memorization but you don't have to be 'really good' either. You just need to develop the right approach - which is something that's hard to explain - and follow it.
-
The 'right approach' is completely unnatural. You have to go out of your way to learn it. That is something I consider memorization.
-
The right approach is not that unnatural. As Naut pointed out, the curving butterflies are aimed at you so you can basically predict where they are going and move accordingly while paying attention to the location of the butterflies.
It's really just straight up dodging but in a different way than you are used to. No memo required. Unless you want to imply that this (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21784)capture that I just made right now in five attempts is memorization. I haven't touched the card for over a year and I am quick to forget memorized stuff.
-
To me the way the butterflies are aimed are unnatural enough to make the whole thing a crapshoot.
-
Alright. That's fair enough. Let's just not throw around statements such as this then;
I'm certainly crazy and that card is unfair unfun bullshit. Ranks as one of the worst cards out there.
Even if you are unable to handle it with your current skill set, you shouldn't call it a terrible card just because of that. There are plenty of attacks that completely overwhelm my abilities but that doesn't mean that the attacks are bad. That just means that I still got a long way to go and just need to accept that it's beyond me for now.
-
I throw around plenty of statements but I'm actually pretty sound with that one.
I do not feel that the butterflies' movements are unnatural as a result of lack of skill. I have the same amount of trouble with them as I had half a year ago, and that's from when I was still clearing the extra stages. They are just so unnatural it makes you curse the moment you thought of playing the card every time you die to them. The arcs are confusing and, together with the small timeframe given to 'go right', it's near impossible to tell how much you're supposed to move and when. I can be completely focused on the task and do just as good as mashing a button and pray that I survive. You need to go out of your way to have perfect understanding of the movements to have any chance of ever being consistent at the card.
-
Well it's a damn good thing you get unlimited retries against the toughest cards in the game, eh? I don't see why the last words have the obligation to be easy to figure out or cater to your specific abilities (hell, they're just silly bonus cards anyway). The card is different, it's nowhere near impossible and even has tricks to learn so that people can tackle it even if they can't read it on the fly. "Unfair..."
-
Unseasonable Butterfly Storm isn't any worse than all the other cards IN is throwing at the player, if you ask me. Having a perfect understanding of the card is kinda required at a lot of spells. It requires quick reaction skills and after playing it a few times, most of it should be clear. I don't mean to brag but even I managed to capture it in ~30 tries for the first time, and that was in my pre-hard clear days (on the other hand there are Last Words I can't wrap my head around while others seem to be able to clear them just fine, to compensate haha). In any case, they're Last Words and meant to be hard. It's far from unfair, compared to stuff like Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana but I don't wanna start a rant here. :P
Gotta keep your eyes at the middle of the screen throughout the entire spell so you can read the bullets ahead before they hit you.
-
Apparently the root of the argument is that we have different definitions for 'unfair'. I find patterns unfair if they punish someone for trying to read them and promote learning them like some kind of automated machine instead -- these are shmups, not puzzle games. The more the pattern forces you to 'learn' it, the higher your skill level has to be in order to read it on the fly. You need to be stupid good to be consistent at UBS with reading alone (ergo, without a touch of luck involved). That to me is an indication of an unfair pattern.
-

First of all, it's irrelevant whether people can capture it consistently. It's a bloody last word. You are not supposed to capture it consistently. It's supposed to be an extra challenge. That's what they are there for. IN is pretty weak on the challenge department (unless you are scoring) so having bonus cards like these, for those who desire something beyond the average Touhou Lunatic, is an excellent addition.
Secondly, what is your definition of stupid good then? Do you view your own skills as the natural amount of skill that you can expect people to amass and anyone who's got more is just stupid good?
Third. I tested this myself and on 10 attempts I managed to clear 6 times. I am in other words not exactly consistent at it but if I were then there'd be not much exciting about it. If I could consistently capture every pattern in STG history then there wouldn't be much purpose for me to play them. Not from a survival perspective.
-
So then BT, what about all those shooting games out there that are all or mostly about memo attacks? Are they inherently unfair by your reasoning?
Memorization-based attacks, be they completely static or rooted in aiming, are a longtime staple of shooting games. To say that memo attacks do not fit into these games is just plain incorrect. The kind of problem solving aspect these attacks bring to the table is really no different than, say, figuring out how a platformer boss' attacks work, where you go "Okay, that method didn't work, let me try something else next time". There's nothing "unfair" about this kind of challenge, as far as I'm concerned.
And I have to disagree with the "automated machine" comparison. If you figure out an attack, practice it some, and then start becoming that mindless in subsequent attempts, you arguably leave yourself more open to messing up at inopportune times. Muscle memory is powerful, but not foolproof. If you ask me, being able to recognize what you're doing as you're doing it and not have it affect your game (essentially, overcoming the "centipede's dilemma") is what allows you to become truly consistent at something.
-
I reached Shou's 2nd nonspell on a LNBNUFO run, so that's some sort of an accomplishment for me.
-
I find patterns unfair if they punish someone for trying to read them and promote learning them like some kind of automated machine instead -- these are shmups, not puzzle games.
Shmups are games where you confront a series of scripted obstacles and your task is to find the optimal way to overcome those. How can that not "promote learning"?
-
So then BT, what about all those shooting games out there that are all or mostly about memo attacks? Are they inherently unfair by your reasoning?
If they take from the game's core concept, of course they are. Thing is, I'm referring to attacks that outright discourage dodging over memorization.

Seems like I didn't make this clear.
Big difference between patterns that promote learning and patterns that force it down.
By that I mean that learning patterns is a part of shmups but it shouldn't take away from the actual dodging. Patterns I'm talking about are patterns that are missing the point completely.
First of all, it's irrelevant whether people can capture it consistently. It's a bloody last word. You are not supposed to capture it consistently. It's supposed to be an extra challenge. That's what they are there for. IN is pretty weak on the challenge department (unless you are scoring) so having bonus cards like these, for those who desire something beyond the average Touhou Lunatic, is an excellent addition.
Letting bad patterns slide as 'bonuses' brings up the question of "why are they there in the first place?". I'd say that they 'add variety' just as much as they are a chore for perfectionists. Variety is fine as long as you watch what you include.
Secondly, what is your definition of stupid good then? Do you view your own skills as the natural amount of skill that you can expect people to amass and anyone who's got more is just stupid good?
How do you propose that I define something like that? I'm referring to 'super players' and the like. I never said my skill level is the natural level anywhere.
-
It's one my personal favorite cards in the series. Right after VoWG, in fact. You just stream normally, then lurch to the left side of the 'corridor' that you're in, and that creates a huge gap for you to slip back to the right. Preferably you do it when the other butterflies aren't on the screen. It's simple and easy to understand.
An yes, you should expect to be forced to understand the patterns in a shooting game. That's literally part of the whole idea, just as you are forced to evade from BOSS ATTACK level 16! the random bullets.
-
I find patterns unfair if they punish someone for trying to read them and promote learning them like some kind of automated machine instead -- these are shmups, not puzzle games.
So you find mostly every remotely hard pattern in Touhou unfair?

Duh. Pattern learning and and pattern reading should both take part in games. It's all in the ratio.

Ha ha ha. Sorry, just couldn't resist.
Ahem...shmups are difficult games. They take both a lot of innate skill, developed skill, and quick reflexes to play effectively. However, while skill is a large part of how a shmup works, there's a limit to what skill will bring you. I put a large amount of credit for how I got to where I am in the series today to how I took the time to analyze attacks. Every non-spell, every spell, are their own world, especially in the photography games. You must learn the rules of each card, experiment to see what works and what doesn't, and develop new skills to aid you. THAT is how you get better, not some abstract concept of "experience." So no, I would disagree. These are puzzle games - they're just ones that test your creativity instead.
However, I'll go ahead and agree with you that games where pure memorization is required are pretty dumb, if only because it ruins the replay value. However, I implore you to find one that fits that description. And no, I do not accept IN as an answer, because the bosses are still quite random.
-
Ah, whatever. This conversation will go nowhere because I view things differently.
I think this was the accomplishments thread? Let's, umm, get back to those. :(
-
All done today: UFO Lunatic 1ccs with MarisaA (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21782), SanaeA (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21786), and SanaeB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21788), so now I have clears with all 6 shot types. MarisaB was definitely harder than these.
Last one contains 0D3B Byakuren, which is my best so far.

psikyo games :V
couldn't resist sorry
-
It's far from unfair, compared to stuff like Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana but I don't wanna start a rant here. :P
But SFN is awesome. Have you tried timing it out?
-
Why yes I have. Fun times indeed! :derp:
;)
-
MoF Lunatic 1-life clear! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21792)
Fuck yeah! This was my first attempt that got past Aya too. I know I bombed through VoWG this time, but my heart was beating too hard for me to care.
-
1L meaning a No Deaths run? Or a run with one death? Either way, congrats, though isn't MoF No Bombs even harder? (I recall you did that as well)
-
They're both hard for different reasons.
No bombs you have no choice but to try to dodge everything.
No deaths you have to balance risk of "should I try for this capture?" and "can I survive to get back up to power?"
-
1L meaning a No Deaths run? Or a run with one death? Either way, congrats, though isn't MoF No Bombs even harder? (I recall you did that as well)
No deaths. If I died at all, then it wouldn't be a clear on 1 life as the name implies. And thanks. ;)
If you ask me, "not bombing" is a lot easier to do than "not dying". I can control myself to simply not press the bomb button at all, no matter the difficulty of the attacks I need to face. But one small slip up in a no-deaths run and the whole thing is shot.
-
Nice going Funen. Also, nice score. Another little reminder that I really need to get into improving my own silly three miss score.
Why yes I have. Fun times indeed! :derp:
Did you succeed?
-
I didn't even survive the first half. It ranks among my hated spells list so I didn't bother with it for long.
-
Finally got around to making another Double Spoiler video.
I spent 14 minutes 15 seconds on Red Giant and then decided to ragequit.
It gets pretty funny.
-
Let's: Spontaneously time out Lunatic Marisa's Asteroid Belt despite completely forgetting the rhythm for the horizontal movements.
1/1 tries.
This was super cool because I had to work around my fuckups as a result of bad horizontal movement. I also had to avoid her random 'walls' a time or two. Replay was GONNA be here but I accidentally chose the option that lets you try again. :/
edit-ers
Brilliant Dragon Bullet or whatever Lunatic Kaguya's first spell is. I've taken a bizarre liking to it all of a sudden
Died 13 seconds away from a timeout. I was in the zone. :(
edit-ers v2
1 second left.
1 second left.
My face hurts. I facepalmed too hard.
Is it me or are the laser patterns kinda static?
-
There we go, Brilliant Dragon Bullet Lunatic timeout. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21793)
I'll try doing this at the center of the screen sometime.
-
I think it actually is, at least that's the impression I got when I tried to time it out.
I managed to 1cc Marine Benefit on Hard, but a lot of lag was involved. Then proceeded to try the Extra but nope, shit is unplayable at that point. Each spell is pretty much a festival of lag and sudden speed up which causes me to die to stupid things. Too bad, the game is really fun otherwise and has a lot of great ideas. :/
-
So, I just attempted a LLS Hard 1CC. This was my very first attempt at this, not counting a horribad one that I closed at Stage 2.
I didn't succeed, but I think I did something even better than succeeding.
I PERFECTED STAGE 5 YUKA. And let me reiterate that this was my very first battle with Stage 5 Yuka on Hard.
I really, really wish I was recording this because somehow I doubt I'll be pulling THAT off again.
-
Let's Play Double Spoiler Part 9: The part where I break down to Red Giant, spending 14.25 minutes on it, and ragequitting at the end of it. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FN3hzwZETMM&feature=youtu.be)
I rage pretty badly to this card. It gets funny.
P.S.: Why does everyone ignore my videos? It's as if I don't exist.
-
To me the way the butterflies are aimed are unnatural enough to make the whole thing a crapshoot.
I already told you but I guess you're determined to ignore me. Stream to the left, and you won't have to worry about the aimed butterflies, except when you have to jump to the right (do this when the unaimed butterfly waves aren't on screen so you can just focus on the aimed walls).
Whether attacks needing to be memorized is a bad thing is a whole 'nother discussion. I actually have a similar distaste for memotrash, which is why I like EoSD with all its "pure dodging" attacks that don't rely on memorization. But Unseasonable Butterfly Storm IS NOT a memo spellcard. Not even close to one. The meat of the card is dodging the unaimed butterflies while streaming to the left - and dodging those random butterflies is obviously not memorization based.
EDIT: Sorry for being off-topic.

Not very hard.
Pretty much agreed if it weren't for that god forsaken third non-spell. Not that hard to dodge on it's own but if there are any leftover bullets from single Vortex then... :V Maidens die.

Nereid, I hope you don't mind, I'm stealing borrowing your Sinkable Vortex and Dipper Creeping Close strategies.
Kinda need to conserve resources on Hard :getdown:
Funny thing is, I captured Dipper Creeping Close on my first try then never again.
-
Sinkable Vortex
Watch out, sometimes she doesn't move in the direction you want her to. In that case, have fun :VVVVVVVVVVVVVV

Lunatic Brilliant Dragon Bullet again.

SA ReimuA Hard 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21800)
FUCKING FINALLY
Also, a word of note:
I don't care if I safespotted BoWaP, I tried to capture it first. I was not about to dump all of my lives just because of that card.
I captured Utsuho's last two cards for the first time.
I captured Orin's first card for the first time. (Spell, not nonspell)
I derp death'd Recollection
I died to Winds Blowing Down from Mt. Ooe (I have a 10/14 capture history of that card)
I perfect stages 1 and 2
-
The uploader is refusing my replay.
:T
So no actual replays of accomplishments for now.
In other news, Sinkable Vortex is a luck-based piece of crap.
:T
EDIT: Congratulations on the SA Hard 1cc! :3
-
Personally I'm (or was) most afraid of Ghost Ship. That thing is equally hard on Normal, Hard and Lunatic. Lord forbid I can do at least decently on it, all the captures (twice or so) were pure luck. Until I found a gap to slip through, the next set of anchors already smashed my face.
:X
Congrats on the perfect though Nereid! Stage 4 is IMO quite tough, not UFO Lunatic tough in that sense but just tough. :P
-
In other news, Sinkable Vortex is a luck-based piece of crap.
Indeed but I still captured it and fucked everything else up.

No, never say that. Ghost Ship is NOTHING on Normal compared to Hard and Lunatic. The chances of using a Normal Mode strategy and having it work on Hard for that card are less likely than perfecting Shou out of fucking nowhere on Ultra Lunatic.

Scarlet Meister Fantasy Seal -Fader- Lunatic No Focus Timeout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21801)
Why am I playing IN all of a sudden?
Now if only I could get close to properly timing out Brilliant Dragon Bullet again...
edit: First capture of Catwalk, out of the blue. Huh.
-
Just perfected the stage portion of SA Lunatic Stage 1.
-
Hahaha holy shit, I captured all three Recollection cards of Satori's with Suika as partner on Lunatic in one run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21802)
That dodging I did there is terrifying to me. :V
-
SA Lunatic run that makes it to Stage 3 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21803)
Along with that, I also had a lulzy run-in with Shiro's Ashes, given two lucky dodges and then killed at the last second.
I hate that.
Currently, I made it to Winds Blowing Down from Mt. Ooe or whatever it is on Lunatic.
-
This is my first time playing IN in 15 months, and this is on Lunatic mode to boot.
-
All Arcade Mode spells with ReimuA on Lunatic in SA captured. Youkai Polygraph and Embers of Love remaining, then I have all Extras as well. And don't ask me why those two of all things, I keep losing my score.dats and never manage to keep a steady record. :getdown:
And while I'm at it, SA Lunatic Stage 2 Perfect (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21806).
e: All Spells Captured Extra Run with one death at Koishi's fourth non-spell. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21807) Fuck, almost a perfect but that doesn't matter. Best run to-date. :3

I was attempting UFO Hard again and managed to die once on Stage 2 and three times on Stage 3. That really should have been a restart, but I decided to keep playing anyway for practice. I eventually made it all the way to Byakuren with 2/2 after being reminded that orb Nue does in fact have a hitbox. I died to the second non-spell because I didn't move far enough, died to the last phase of Devil's Recitation, and got to LFS 0/0. I was already preparing for my next attempt, but then, somehow...
(http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/3650/yes3r.png)
UFO 1cc'd on Hard (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21813)! :dragonforce: Man, my heart was pumping for the five seconds I realized this could actually be possible. Definitely the hardest Hard mode for me, and I can finally say that I've done all Windows non-fighters on Hard. This leaves EoSD, SA, UFO, both B routes, and both C routes on Lunatic. Haven't touched GFW in a while so I might try one of those next, but I'll take a short break for now :V

UFO Hard 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21815)
Holy hell, I did not expect my first run (No restarts ever!) right after I asked who would beat UFO first. We got our answer!
Anyway, derp deaths.
I got killed by Midboss Kogasa's nonspell when the spell started. I think that's worth laughing at.
Should I record that for myself or leave it to Ozzy?
-
FINALLY learned Reimu's hitbox in EoSD~
Small achievement to myself, I managed to get through almost the entire second half of Flandre with 0 life stock, bombing only once in Starbow Break and once at the last second of ATTWBN. Sadly, I died when she had about less than 1/3rd of her HP left in QED...
oh well, still great improvement from my past~
-
@Esu, Ridley
Fuck, I knew I should have started sooner.
Oh, wait, I meant, tried.
I haven't tried since that post :getdown:
Congratulations, you two. I'll be there too ... eventually.
-
Congratulations, you two. I'll be there too ... eventually.
The best part is I ended with a 3/1 ratio.
-
The best part is I ended with a 3/1 ratio.
So you beat UFO hard. Either do lunatic or do the *harder* SA 120 FPS easy I challenged you to do. :V
I'm surprisingly consistent at most of lunatic Orin now.
-
The best part is I ended with a 3/1 ratio.
Okay, now you're actively making me angry.
I'll try to be back in a week, and see if by then I've not only beaten your resources, but also your score of 208 million.
If I focus less on score... I might survive long enough to 1CC with minimal cuts to my semi-consistent 270 million. Hmmm...
Also, I will toss out that shitty and unreliable laptop keyboard I've been using for the past couple weeks. UFO has gotten near unplayable due to input issues.
-
Okay, now you're actively making me angry.
I'll try to be back in a week, and see if by then I've not only beaten your resources, but also your score of 208 million.
I never spawned a Blue UFO :3
In fact, let me tell you all the awesome that happened
Past Magic Butterfly, I was blind with the fight on Hard.
I captured the noncard right before milky way. In a separate practice run I captured that.
St. Nikou's Air Scroll, I nearly beat but then PICHUU~N!
Flying Fantastica, I deathbombed at 1/5 health left.
I didn't superscript and subscript that fraction because it's late and I'm fucking tired. I think it's so annoying that I wouldn't even care about how I spell millennium.
I handled Shou as awesomely as I could.
I captured Sinkable Vortex
:trollface:
-
Congratulations, you two. I'll be there too ... eventually.
Thanks! And I wouldn't worry too much about score if you're just trying to get your first 1cc, especially in a game like this where it can cause you to miss out on potentially-needed resources. Good luck :)
-
Congrats on the UFO Hard 1ccs. Capping LFS at 0/0 resources is EXACTLY how you ought to do it.
IHNN: Ghost Wheels / Orin's Final Card ratios or bzzzzt. Perfecting the rest of the fight isn't that hard.
-
I've only played PCB. My achievements so far:
SakuyaA 1CC Normal
SakuyaA Extra clear, barely (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21796). Aside from using lots of bombs and border breaks, the replay has some fails such as doing Princess Tenko pacifist because I have trouble hitting Ran on that card, and going to the edge of the screen way too early on Ultimate Buddhist. But hey, after many tries, I'm proud to have cleared an extra stage for the first time.

No hiding in the corners, making this a lot harder than the other one.
-
the *harder* SA 120 FPS easy. :V
Well not to meddle but I tried this and only thing I gotta say is that it's at least 2 times easier than 1cc'ing UFO Hard,at least for me. I derped more than 5 times with 2-3 bombs and still lost(final life again with full bombs) at 2/5 of Subterrenean Sun, and I pretty much suck at faster speeds. It's just impossible to get used to the invincibility time, which seems too little. Also, BoWaP.... :ohdear:
(Run: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21826 )
EDIT: Cleared. (Run: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21827) Does this mean I can Hard UFO now? :V
-
IHNN: Ghost Wheels / Orin's Final Card ratios or bzzzzt. Perfecting the rest of the fight isn't that hard.
something like 0/8 and 1/6.
Consider that not too long ago every pattern was destroying me.
-
And I wouldn't worry too much about score if you're just trying to get your first 1cc
Not mention you can earn the entirety of Esu's score from a single UFO in stage 6 anyway. And yeah SA Easy at double speed has got to be easier.
-
OMFG, just got my first PCB Phantasm clear. It was with ReimuB. My hands were shaking and sweating really bad and my heart was thumping heavy. So tense towards the end. Had been on the verge of giving up.
Got 9 out of 13 captures which was awesome. Yukari's first spell killed me the exact moment I capped it. I capped Ran's second spell and also got Yukari's Shikigami: Ran spell too.
5 deaths and 12 bombs but I'm still very proud and ecstatic about this. Only unlocked it yesterday but played it a heap and failed a heap, haha.

The spell itself isn't too difficult, it's just that the speed at which each wave is spawned at the end that intimidates me. Luckily, the pattern is static? :V

Congrats, just know that in terms of danmaku/resources, PCB has the easiest Extra Stage, even including Phantasm.
-
Thanks :)
Mm, I had heard that it's easier (border breaks being a big factor). Only other Extra I've done so far is IN's (month and a half ago) and I guess it was easier if I think about it, records say it took me 80 starts and I've got 17 tries on Yukari's first spell. IN's was close to 300 starts with Youmu/Yuyu before I learnt them all and got good enough (but IN's stage was much easier which was half my problem with Phantasm).
But it was hard at the time :blush:
Will probably play around on Phantasm or PCB Extra for a bit before going after Suwako.
-
PCB Stage 6 perfected on Hard. First run to make it past the third nonspell, actually.
Not looking forward to having to deal with it on Lunatic. <_<
-
Cleared FinalB Hard (2.2 billion)
Cleared IN Extra (1.3 billion)
The Extra clear was my first try back, too. I wonder what happened, I was never able to beat her.
-
If I focus less on score... I might survive long enough to 1CC with minimal cuts to my semi-consistent 270 million. Hmmm...
I haven't tried UFO Hard in ages, but I'm way too used to spamming Rainbows and Blues so I'm probably not gonna get far :V I also have to remember not to graze midboss Kogasa and her first non-card the way I did in Easy/Normal
Even if I cleared it, I wouldn't be very satisfied if my score was less than half a billion.
-

Do tell me which bosses have harder danmaku than Yukari when it comes to perfecting them?
-
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21835
Perfect UFO Stage 2 hard, I'm on a roll today.
The fact I managed to do a stage 6 of the same difficulty level before this says something about UFO, no?
-
Do tell me which bosses have harder danmaku than Yukari when it comes to perfecting them?
Koishi does.
Byakuren probably does...not that I've faced her on lunatic.
-
Almost anything from UFO on Lunatic tops Yukari by miles.
Perfect Orin Lunatic. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21837) Now just to work on the popcorn hell part and I got my stage 5 perfect. :V
-
Do tell me which bosses have harder danmaku than Yukari when it comes to perfecting them?
Keep in mind that it really only takes one tough attack to make a boss "hard to perfect". As far as Extra bosses are concerned (I believe that's what Esu was referring to), Mokou (with her rings of death) qualifies as harder to perfect than Yukari, and Flandre and Suwako might also be harder if you have trouble with Q.E.D. and Suwa War, respectively.
-
Never thought I'd be so happy about such a pitiful thing but SA Lunatic Stage 1 Perfect (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21839). Kurodani's first non-spell is wayyyyy misplaced. :[
-
Do tell me which bosses have harder danmaku than Yukari when it comes to perfecting them?
To keep within Extra bosses: Mokou, Flandre and Mamizou. Probably some from PC-98 too. In a way also Suwako because she's got some nasty memorizers.

Had a pretty sweet NBNUFO run that ended on Shou's last spellcard. I had a perfect run up until Murasa's last nonspell. I think I could have reached stage 6 if I didn't die four times to Shou.
-
I think I could have reached stage 6 if I didn't die four times to Shou.
Well, if you only had four lives to lose, and you died less than four times, reaching stage 6 would have been inevitable. :3
Sounds like a great run though, so congrats. I'll be sure to watch the replay. Good luck getting the full 1cc!
-
Lowering my reliance on the Border Team, means that I am discovering, how unfun it is to play as teams other than the Border Team.
Just FinalA + FinalB cleared IN Easy and Normal modes, with the Magic Team.
I think I did better on Kaguya's last spells on Hard mode :x
Also.... capturing 25 spells on Hard, but 21 on Normal.
Hmmm.
Reimu's so much more fun to fight than Marisa :I
It's the Ghost Team that fights her, right?
-
Border and Ghost fight Marisa, Magic and Scarlet fight Reimu.
and shut up Ghost Team is most fun :V (although Border is most effective...)

In the span of 45 minutes I have
-Captured Lunatic Alice's first card for the first time.
-'Captured' Lunatic Momiji with extraordinarily crazy dodges, even for myself.
-Died at the last second to Kanako's first nonspell and second-final spell after doing them pretty damn convincingly.
-Died at the last second to Lunatic Greatest Treasure after some amazing dodging. Times Nazrin Has Done This to Me Count: 3 and rising.
-Survived 3 loops in Lunatic Vajra, a new personal best I believe.
-'Captured' Lunatic Byakuren's second nonspell a second time. I say 'captured' because I died to the very last bullet before it despawned when the nonspell was already over. :/
-Died at the last second to Devil's Recitation after doing really well.
-1Miss LFS, in which I died stupidly during the beginning and did really well at the end.
These all individually aren't a whole lot (or anything at all) but after doing all this in such a short timespan I'm feeling sharper than a knife. Maybe today's the day I do something big... but alas, I don't have a lot of time today. :V

By reducing the amount of risk to minimum(?), I finally did it!( still 4 deaths with 2 or more bombs though, including a hope-shattering one at S6)
Still, it does feel like something is missing because I entered Utsuho with 1 life and still managed to win...bombing every damn thing she threw at me.
Gotta practice that bitch...someday. Now only UFO is left to clear at Hard difficulty, but it seems like a hard nut to crack, seeing as I have still to reach stage 6. :V

Because Cirno makes me rage.

When's the last time you tried? I think you should be able to pass the point of "Cirno rage" and advance to "Sakuya rage" by now.
-
Because Cirno makes me rage.
No. She should be no means be causing you rage. You are better than that. What is providing you trouble?
-

-
Micrododge/safespot. If that were the only difficulty why wouldn't you just bomb it?
Oh hey I finally got to play Marine Benefit. Normal 1cc! o/
-
To elaborate on what Zil said, safespot it by going right above Cirno during the dialogue. Or, macrododge the first two waves and dodge the last one with just one tap (well, judging by Zil's post you can micrododge all three waves? - but what I wrote is what I've always done).
-
Or misdirect the first wave and dodge through the other two waves.
-
Yeah, don't micrododge the first one. I've never tried, but it's probably harder than misdirecting it, if it's even possible to fit through it in the first place.
-
Haha...
Ahahahahaha...
You would think I would take a long hiatus from Ten Desires Lunatic after the Iwafune timeout. You would be wrong.
I went right back to attempting to time out the hardest stuff...and I have this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QinFS0m4Fo) to show for it.
I have timed out Honour the Avoidance of Defiance. I win, Miko.

Naturally, I hit "Give up and retry" without saving the replay. But right now I hardly even care.
-
Actually,
Honor the Avoidance of Defiance <<< Wild Carpet < Iwafune Ascending to Heaven, is easily the order of Lunatic timeouts from easiest to hardest.
As for Cirno, I misdirect the first two waves. Center --> Corner --> Center. The second maneuver is the hard one so you want to plan a path in advance.

StB 10-1 capture, first try of the day.
I really hate this nonspell.

IN lunatic cleared with two deaths, ending with seven lives in stock. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21887)
There were a couple hilarious mistakes. The best one was easily me wrecking Reisen, then failing Invisible Full Moon. I do not remember the last time I failed that card, but it's been a few years. Other than that and a mediocre stage 3, this was better than I could hope for. :D
-
Okay, now I'm starting to wonder if Score Desire Eater is even hard to capture at all.
I mean, really, after trying to capture it again so I'd have a replay my new history is...2/16.

Of course, you clearly never avoided defying her, which goes against all that spell stands for. Congrats! TD was my second last hard 1cc, so that's no small feat.

Aside from getting to Kanako for the 2nd time ever:
Perfect Stage 1 and 2, no real accomplishment.
Capped ILLUSIONARY DOMIANCE and Cork Sign. Both I have never actually capped before. On the downside I failed Wind God Hidden in Leaves. That and capping Aya's imfamous survival card is a pretty good sign, no?
Did pretty well against Sanae in general [I have capped Preperation for Divine Winds in Practise before, and was sure I would fit through the gap that got me]
I messed up and forgot what nonspell was coming on Kanako's 2nd. I can cap it just by downward streaming if I was in position.
There's a bug if you watch stage 4 streight up, I die a lot where I don't, and it stops at Momiji. This bug is fixes if you watch from stage 1, I'm not sure about stages 2 or 3 fixing it.

This is a bug with every MoF replay ever, however starting the replay from Stage 3 and fast forwarding through the stage is the fastest wayof reaching Stage 4 without it de-syncing.

Now for the harder games, EoSD, PCB [These games I can reach stage 5], SA and UFO [Stage 4, with SA being slightly further than UFO]. [Oh and PoFV but that dosen't count]

FUCK YES!
Finally did it!
Mountain of Faith -Easy- timeout! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_i1ax9zDjc)
And the best part: I never have to bother with Easy mode again.

Beat Concealed the Conclusion's Extra Stage. This was pathetically easy for an Extra I have to admit. Three tries overall, the last one having me do the second half of Suika's spells blind. I did end up with zero lives though, partially to the fact that I haven't seen the spells before thus not knowing what exactly is going to happen next. Still pretty cool of a boss. I'm interested in what the Phantasm will be like. :3

Questionable Achievement: Reached Scarlet Gensokyo at Lunatic!!!! It however IS questionable, because I died with 2 damned bombs at YOUNG DEMON LORD! These metal fatigue bullets are fucking clip-happy. And 1 death with bombs at the 3-phased nonspell.... I WOULD HAVE CLEARED.... Oh well it is still an achievement, as the run went as good as it could have gone, except for stage 4. The part with the HUGE FUCKING LASER fairies + streaming manages to take away at least one life. Still I managed to no-derp the entire game till stage 6, which will never happen again. EVER.

You're this close so it will definitely happen again. Now you should have more confidence, at the very least.
You shouldn't be dying on the Stage 4 streaming. Learn to perfect the stage ex the books and maybe the final part (safety bomb), it's not that hard at all.
Don't take gambles on Young Demon Lord unless you are absolutely sure you understand the hitboxes, is all I can say there. Don't be afraid to bomb.
-
Not that great an accomplishment, but i've got first extend on Ten Desires stage 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-DPNeunLzU&feature=plcp)
Next goal - try to get all 6 possible extends in the game, wich will be much harder.

Cleared all cards of Stage 3 of Shoot the Bullet Ultra.
Believe me, 3-1 and 3-7 were both pains in my ass, one taking 258 shots and the other taking at least 230 (I didn't check for that one).
I'm going to hate Stage 5.

What do you mean? We can't tell just because you captured However much percent Reflowering.

Nice graze though.
I'd say 4/7 lunatic 1ccs or whatever, but the high score says you've done it before so I don't know. Congrats, whatever you did.

got up to 64 scenes cleared in StB.
5-5, 9-2 and 10-2 all fell.
Almost got 10-6 several times too, it's oddly fun...
-
What do you mean? We can't tell just because you captured However much percent Reflowering.
Judging from both the score, and the fact that there are lasers in the spell card pattern, I think it's safe to say it's a lunatic 1cc.
Nice job, though you shouldn't just limit yourself to seven. There's ten standard danmaku shooters in the series, after all. ;)
-
EoSD MarisaA Normal 1cc because I hadn't done it with her yet. It's reached the point where I can more or less beat any given game on Normal on a whim. Time to practise dem Hard runs.
Speaking of Hard runs, I challenged EoSD with ReimuB Hard Mode for the first time so I could practise for that Hard 1cc.
I got to Scarlet Meister.

Some practice and this is easily possible!

I don't think SoEW should really count. It doesn't have focusing and the hitboxes are shit.

I don't think SoEW should really count. It doesn't have focusing and the hitboxes are shit.
So it's shit because it's not exactly like a Windows game? Things have bigger hitboxes, but there's lots of space between the bullets, and nothing calls for 'focused movement.'

Might have resorted to a fangame to pull it off, but finally got a first 1cc by capturing the final card.
Marine Benefit Hard 1cc. Still haven't learn to bomb more, but at least I won. >_>

Neither is LLS or MS but I don't discount those because at least they're fun.

Let me reinterpret.
There are a lot of things that make it exceedingly different from the other shooters, so much that I think it should really just count as its own rather than the legitimate set.

They are similar enough to the Windows games that they count as part of the set.
SoEW is as comparable to the rest of the games as DoDonPachi, if you don't count characters.

I just pretend everything before LLS doesn't exist.
StB 10-8 capture, sitting on 65 scenes. 1 more until extra, and I'm set on it being 10-6.

As for me, lets just say that I captured one of the hardest scenes on StB ultra. That's right. It's 4-8. :V
Fun fact: it took exactly 700 shots to get this capture.

This one was pretty easy. Capturing it with Marisa on the other hand...
-
StB EX-5 cap, like 4 tries.
StB EX-4 cap, that was easy except actually hitting Yukari with the camera. I attribute this to SA lunatic.
-
Cleared Final B with Reimu solo on Hard earlier in Imperishable Night, only just made it through Hourai Jewel (timer ran out) with 0 lives and 0 bombs.
This of course unlocked Marisa's Last Word "Blazing Star" and just spent the last 3 hours trying to beat it with Youmu & Yuyu. Raged hard a fair bit and by 180 attempts I had 2 where I died at 00 left so I got pissed more, stopped giving a crap and decided to just play like an idiot and f*** around trying to dodge through loads of tiny gaps and never touch focus. Was kinda going for graze points for a while, trying to break 250 but it gets a bit too hard for me towards the end, did notice 230 on one.
But finally after tons of tries playing like that with loads of pretty damn awesome lucky dodges (by my standards) I cleared it on my 649th attempt. ROFL. I can't believe it took that many, in theory it shouldn't be that hard.

Similar situation happened with Yuyu's Last Word too, that was quite a while ago though.
My cleared one wasn't as cool although watching some of the replays it was a lot cooler when I was doing it then it is when I rewatch them now >_>
Edit: Actually, it's pretty ordinary now that I've watched it again.
Really, really fun Spell card though. However listening to that damn laser for the last 3 hours got so~ irritating.
Anyway, now I only have Youmu's Last Word and #222 to unlock as well as Alice's to clear.

One to the shitspam at the beginning, one to the shit midboss card and one to the first card, after which I proceeded to perfectly time out the remainder of the card.
Seems perfectly perfect-able. This was actually pretty easy.

Perfecting Stage 5 is a lost cause, there's no way you're going to?

Managed another NDNB Aya fight. She's always a tough girl to beat flawlessly so it's always an accomplishment. Especially right on top of a Kanako fight where I died to all but Medoteko and the final non-spell due to 'week long hiatus induced rust'. Excuses. :V
I have faith in you
So do I. The first spell is pretty nasty but you seem to handle it quite well BT and the spam at the beginning can be trivialized if you learn how to stream it. Good luck. :D

Thanks. First nonspell isn't that bad if you go to one of the sides imo, the only nerve wracking one is her last.
And I'd say the dodge right as she was exploding counts as adequately tight. >_>

I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me. (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,12743.msg840525.html#msg840525)Also, why upload only that?
My computer can't record to my standards, and my friend who uploaded that only has PCB so he can only record videos from that game. I've already asked him to upload Alice though, and my other perfects whenever he gets the other games.
Youmu's still my best though >_>

Koishi perfect, yay. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21992) Shame about getting hit on Sanae though...

No perfect stage? Do it again Congrats! Extras are always daunting just for the longevity of it, Koishi in particular is nice.

Then you're gonna love Mushihimesama Futari :D
Indeed, but even its easiest mode makes up for the ability to experience slowdown with denser, faster patterns.

82/85, just have EX-6, 10-3 and 10-7 to go.

83/85: Five Colored Turtles down.
Komachi...why do you have to have the 2 hardest scenes in the game?
-
I suck at Double Spoiler :ohdear:
All-cleared Stages 1, 2, 3.
Stages
4-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7
5-2, 3, 4, 8
6-2, 5, 7
7-4, 6
And nothing in Stage 8.

After failing an easy question tested the third time in Physics, the exam ends and I perfected Nitori Normal and captured 3 spells of Aya in a stage 4 practice lolwat

83/85: Five Colored Turtles down.
Komachi...why do you have to have the 2 hardest scenes in the game?
84/85: Ferriage in the Deep Fog capture.
Only 10-7 is keeping me from a StB all clear :D
Stages
4-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 Missing: 4-6, understandable.
5-2, 3, 4, 8 Missing: 5-1, 5-5, 5-6, 5-7. 5-1 is easy (and static based on position) 5-6 is easy (with good shot timing), the other 2 are understandable.
6-2, 5, 7 Missing: lots of things. 6-4 and 6-6 are both relatively easy with either quick shots or defensive shots.
7-4, 6 Missing: Shou, 7-2. Scorched Earth Mandela is pretty simple, Hungry Tiger and curvy lasers are not.
And nothing in Stage 8. Stage 8 is a difficulty spike; 8-3 and 8-5 are the easiest in the stage IMO
(http://i46.tinypic.com/2pt9fer.png) (http://i46.tinypic.com/2pt9fer.png)
Most shots on any scene right there. (If the image is too large then I can downsize and re-upload, I've tried setting it as a thumbnail as in the spellcard images thread but it didn't work)
Now I never have to play Shoot the BS again because 85/85 scenes cleared!
Attached are some other shot counts-the only other 2 to top 300 and one that a lot of people say is pretty hard.

IaMP Lunatic 1CC with Reimu! I'm still not particularly good and I'd get my ass kicked by anyone with so much as a shred of experience, but in the past month I went from being the guy who couldn't even do a Hadouken during his childhood to the guy who could instantaneously perform commands like left -> bottom -> bottom left.
It was the first game to make me throw my chair, and then I threw my matress in the next 5 seconds, but I finally cleared it on the highest difficulty, the first challenging fighting game in my entire life!
Big thanks to Jaimers who doesn't even know because I found an ancient post of his on Google while trying to figure out just how the hell I was supposed to deal with Yukari's penultimate Spellcard. Spellcard spam was the way to go, it seems.
Nonetheless, someone should have told me that you can skip the credits. Pressed a button by accident and the game just skipped them. Not that I haven't seen them twice already, but you're supposed to watch the credits!

Wild Carpet ~ 1 / 2
...Huh.

IaMP Lunatic 1CC with Reimu!
Really, I was wondering what ever happened to this. :V
Congratulations on finally beating it!

Haha, thanks, took a short break due to work and a little bit of frustration, so I was somewhat rusty, but still performed better than when I tried to develope unfamiliar strategies that caused frustration in the first place. There's lots of stuff I'm beginning to understand now that I'm looking at my replays, but I'll keep that for when I play the game for the hell of it later on.
Now, I just need to get the replays of the Youmu and Yukari matches to work, really hope that somebody can help me there. I just can't like bugs!
-
Reimu is a lower tier character in that game (though that's not saying much because that game is really well balanced, except for Meiling sucking) so you'll do it with the others no problem ;)
This random Japanese channel has no damage clears of Lunatic Pandemonium with every character if you're interested, as well as a video of Suika owning Story Mode: http://www.youtube.com/user/tubedada

No-Vert MoF Easy 1cc
The first 5 stages are still too easy, but stage 6 is absolute resource rape due to lack of practice T_T
So I end up 0/0 =.=

No. 50 Recollection "Double Black Death Butterfly" 3/5
Technically 3/6 but I TASed the game on lunatic once and I didn't cap the spell in the TAS so...
DBDB lunatic is easy!
-
A much better UFO Normal 1cc has been done.
I was unsatisfied with my sightread clear which ended 0/1, so I did it again this time ending 3/2.
Captures of all Byakuren's cards but Devil Recitation and Star Maelstrom.
I'm kinda growing to like UFO honestly, it's a good looking, good sounding and interesting to play game because of the UFO thing, which I find extraordinarily easy to milk for extra lives. I had max lives going into Stage 5 midboss Nazrin forgot about that and continued going for life fragments instead of bombs at that point and still did decently.
-
Hah, my DBDB is like 3/50. Two of three times were consecutive. I'm alright as long as I know I can cap the card convincingly when I'm focused.
-
Got my first 1cc today. :3
PCB Normal MarisaA
-
500 million point Subterranean Animism Normal 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22018)
The only two times I died in this run were horrible, horrible derps.
I think I perfected up until Stage 6.

Speaking of SA. I've just tried it on normal with ultra patch applied http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jq6luVGak0&feature=plcp

Embodiment of Scarlet Devil 1cc'd on Lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22024)! This... was hard :V Overview:

>Two-bomb Meiling fight (last two spells captured)
>One death to auto-clearing fairies + 2D5B Patchouli fight :X

>1D4B Sakuya fight
>Enter Remilia fight with 2/1, capture everything between Young Demon Lord (!!!) and the last non-spell :o

Speaking of EoSD, I just beat the Extra and 1cc'd Hard after quite a while of not playing the games
Here is the Extra run (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22026)
And here is Hard. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22027)
I wasn't using VSync for the Extra run because I didn't realize just how big of a difference it
made as far as responsiveness went. The Hard mode run still has a few panic bombs here
and there, and a few stupid mistakes like flying up straight into a bullet. Oh well.
-
Well, that was, um...impressive.
Resolved to attempt a VoWG timeout without bombing just to see how far I could get. I actually got to 0 seconds. Without any lives to spare, but still. :V
And yeah, this was my very first time doing this. I can really see why everyone is so obsessed with this thing, it is so much fun.
EDIT: And here's a replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22029), so everyone can see and judge for themselves. (also I'd appreciate advice, if there's something I'm doing obviously wrong)

"Captured" Kanako's opener on Lunatic! maybe I should get to beating another lunatic sometime, maybe IN?

Cleared SA extra (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22038) for the first time after not touching it since normal 1cc attempts. I managed to capture all of Koishi's stuff except Subconscious "Rorschach in Danmaku", Depths "Genetics of the Subconscious",
"Philosophy of a Hated Person" and "Subterranean Rose" aka the actual hard attacks :blush:.
I started to freak out around Genetics since I realised that I had an actual shot at clearing the stage. I COMPLETELY lost it at Subterranean rose since that was the first time I dealt with that attack. I've seen videos of it but actually dealing with it yourself is a totally different matter.
That was a nice distraction, back to getting my soul crushed by UFO Lunatic.

1cc'd MoF Lunatic with MariC again, feels good since this was without any preparations and while it had some retarded deaths in stage 3 I entered stage 6 with 4 extra lives and 0.15 power or something, and reached VoWG with 4 extra lives and 4 bombs :V
-
MoF stage 4 lunatic no bombs no deaths. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22059) I did both streaming sections without cheesing them out, and I did not stall out Momizi either. Holy shit I never thought I'd actually pull this off. If I could figure out how to upload videos again, I would totally upload this run.
-
MoF stage 4 lunatic no bombs no deaths. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22059)
Wait did I seriously do that before you did?
It's even more impressive in that you didn't stall Momiji-I almost did it without stalling but couldn't quite get past a 3rd streamturn. Conversely Momiji is such a fun not-so-challenging pattern.
-
If you like bullets coming at you at 75 degrees while maybe being hidden behind the big ones then sure, it's loads of fun. ~_~
I can't get past the first turn, by the way. Never have.
-

I really don't know what you're talking about. 75 degree bullets are not something I've seen on this, nor have what I needed to dodge been overlapping the larger bullets.
-
Prove it or be a chatterbox :wikipedia:
How would I prove it? I've never cleared anything with the ultra patch and even if I did I'd still be too fucking lazy to make a video of it until 7 days later.
Did you guys notice I didn't upload my Hard 1ccs of UFO or SA, or even record them?

No-horizontal timeout of Miko's overdrive. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jshsjnZo1zA)

Only gonna list 2 of my semi-accomplishments and 1 good accomplishment
1: Survived 2 of Koishi's spellcards without dying on my first run
2: Died RIGHT before getting to Yukari on Phantasm

I did it perfectly (60 FPS though) in my pacifist Mokou which I'm totally not being lazy about recording
-
Got curious and tried it out. Fujiwara Volcano timed out in about eight attempts. \o/
EDIT: Decided to try it at 90 FPS, since for some reason that's all the rage these days (darn kids, never understand 'em).
...12 tries. BV
EDIT 2: Oh, and in normal news, 722% motivation clear for Fairy Wars extra. I think that's a new record.
-
I don't think I understand the 'fun' part, though. The card throws no surprises at you, it's pure strategy and not running into bullets.
-
PCB Hard (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22071)
Beat it on first attempt (in quite a while anyway) after a few 1ccs on Normal
A few of the deaths probably could have been avoided, and plenty of panic bombs and "Okay don't feel like dealing with this" bombs around, but
overall it was easier than EoSD Hard.
Hopefully, Extra and Phantasm will be cleared soon enough, then I'll move on to IN
-
Closest run I've done has gotten to 30 seconds remaining. Timing that card out is a herculean task.
If you can capture it, you can time it out. You just keep repeating the same moves over and over again.
-
The fun part came from just trying to read the card at 90 FPS fast enough, on top of all the micrododging among the red bullets, and the ridiculously fast arrowheads. Maybe it was a personal thing, I don't know.
Managed to time out Shikigami "Chen". Worth an upload, or no?
-
Not really a major accomplishment, but I had nothing else to do with Sakuya A and I was tired of clearing Normal mode normally (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22073)
Edit: Extra on first try (in a while, anyway) is, however (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22074)
-
Finally I'm clear UFO Extra (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22076) (total messy gameplay)
Horribly pawned by Kogasa at 3rd spellcard...
And, apparently actual times still count even you pausing it (my cat blocked my vision in middle of survival spell)

LFS Lunatic: 1/39
WHY did this take so long?
I-I guess it isn't worse than 0/66 Vajra...

luckshit mode 120fps, even tho' I am really bad at it.
Surprisingly, I captured Possessed by Phoenix.
On the first try.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22082
-
SWR Normal 1CC, took me a few tries, especially due to the controls being vastly different from IaMP, but they're quite groovy I think. Nonetheless, the game seems easier than IaMP, might be the controls or it's just that I've improved quite a lot since I cleared IaMP Normal, who knows, looking forward to Hard and Lunatic either way.
-
LFS Lunatic: 1/39
WHY did this take so long?
I-I guess it isn't worse than 0/66 Vajra...
I don't know why, but Vajra just makes no god damn sense to me. It is not fun at all, and it is the ONLY CARD that I will just flat-out bomb right away that's outside of IN because I don't like wasting two bombs by accident.
-
At least 60 of those were practice runs, in which I actually attempted to capture it. It's a bomb otherwise, sure.
-
Vajra is a very nasty card that doesn't allow much room for error, but it's pretty fun. I suppose the only two things that should be bothered explaining are that that 1) The spinning bars center on your position and significantly affect how quickly you have to spin, and 2) The bullets Shou fire are static. So the card can be learned, but it is very difficult to do so.
So yeah, auto-bomb in a real run when possible. :v
-
Going through Marine Benefit Hard with Sanae to unlock extra and managed a perfect Megumi fight. Still not sure how I managed to get past her third card, but I'll take it. <_<

Really. I never noticed that when I was timing it out NF.
The waves can dick you over even at the beginning, unfortunately.

I cleared 9-1 in DS without defensive shots :P
Oh, and 9-7 at 90fps too! Took me about 50 shots.

2 deaths, 6 bombs, 11 captures, 1,650,000,000 points.
This was perhaps my best run of IN Extra yet.

1cc'ed MoF on Hard.
On a run on which I actually managed to get myself walled and had to bomb Shizuha's nonspell.
I just...why do my good runs start off like total crap? My first Normal 1cc started with an actual death to Letty's first spellcard and now I had to bomb the Stage 1 midboss? Whatever, I'll take it.
What? Your GamingAwesome1 is evolving?
Congratulations! Your GamingAwesome1 has evolved into HARDMODEPLAYER!

This tends to happen.
My EOSD lunatic 1cc bombed Demarcation.
My PCB perfect extra was the one run I don't supergraze the begin parts.
My last IN lunatic run deathbombed Wriggle, yet was my best run by far
My MoF hard no bombs 1cc died to Minoriko. I perfected Kanako and Sanae in it.

3 miss IN Stage 4a. Only missed midboss 2nd nonspell, 3rd boss card after an "invisible" bullet popped out from the arrows, and clipdeathed her last spell after her armor wore off. This is definitely plausible, just need to work on it a bit more.

That was fun, I wonder how far I can get without photo charge?
You are my hero if you get past 4-4!
-
You are my hero if you get past 4-4!
Well, I'm skipping around a bunch (3-5 is on the list for later, 4-4 and 6-7 and 7-4 are on the "impossible" list).
and just got 7-7.
First try.
and I suck at curvy lasers.
-
Nice, I tried 8-5 expecting it to be ridiculous, but also got it on my first try (it's trivial). You'll have to change to Hatate for 7-5, right? Or is that realistically possible with Aya? You better stop thinking that 4-4 is impossible, it's just extremely luckshitty. how are we supposed to go sub 45 minutes in the DS speedrunning without optimizing 4-4? :D
-
Well, 6-7 is also technically possible no charge.
You're right- 8-5 was trivial, and 7-3 was pretty fun.
I created a new score.dat for this, so far I've got ~30 scenes done. Hopefully I can reach spoiler this time.
edit: reached Stage 12 =D

It seems like there's a lot of craziness going on around those photography games. Personally I'd love to see some serious scoring start taking place, especially in DS, since I've always thought the scoring seemed fun but never gets any attention. And that reminds me, why is there no score submission thread for DS? I think there's one for StB. Well, whatever.
And yes, something I should have mentioned here before: I've broken 65mil with every character in PoDD. Just a personal goal of mine. I'd like to move them all to the 70mil+ range someday. It shouldn't be too hard for most, and some are already there, though Reimu worries me. I think I said somewhere that I like playing as her. Well forget that, I can't stand it.

So I 1cc'd Phantasmagoria Trues Advanced.
I went through all the Unseen stages this time, seemingly. At least, I fought Alice at the end instead of Mima.
uuuuuuuuuuh words cannot describe how holy fuck that was.
-
I did 7-6 without photo charge (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22132), not quite as hard as timing it out, and it was fun.
EX-3 without charging (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22134), that was more fun.
...and a bunch more that I though would be made more interesting without charge (at least different from how I would play them for survival normally).

It's super hard, at least if you want to compete with the scores on royalflare, I know Baity had a few WR's though, maybe he still does!

Dude, you should upload a video then. It's always a pleasure to watch someone playing this game well ;)
-
I came here in a delirious rush of excitement because I managed to 1cc Imperishable Night on Normal, with final boss Eirin.
Then I read a page of this. Now I'm kind of disillusioned. Oh well, I'll just list the slightly paltry achievements I made before registering here.
EoSD: Normal 1cc, capture of Red Magic.
PCB: Normal 1cc, captured some Konpaku cards (200 Yojana in one slash and Five Signs of the Veda)
IN: Normal 1cc A, nearly flawless stage 5 (Idling Wave got me as always, the rest was perfect with Final Spell and all)
Question: I'm currently working to Normal 1cc all the games and planning to get more in-depth afterwards. Is this a good way to approach it or do you guys recommend anything else?
EDIT: Immediately afterwards, on my first try, I 1cc'ed IN Normal B too. Actually cleared one of the last spells and left with two whole lives in stock. I'm dancing. :D

4-4... I got to 2 shots left and died, then I gave up because I didn't have the patience to finish it. >_>"
Maybe in 17643 shots...

How do you unlock any of the Unseen Stages? I went through the first three stages on Advanced without bombing and losing only a single life but I got taken straight to stage 4. I thought it played out like in Phantasm Romance but it seems to be different.
-
The first thing I can think of is whether or not Trial mode is on or off in the config. Other than that, I got nothing, since I bombed twice during stage 3 but no missed. ???

Nothing wrong with clearing everything on Normal like that. Just don't linger there once it becomes easy for you.

Hell yes!! 1ccs of SA, Touhou 11 Lunatic with all Reimu Shottypes!
I should have beaten the game with ReimuB days ago, but at last I did it today! That feeling which fills your body afterwards, makes your head feel full and giddy, and makes you shake all over... it's been so long :D

It'll be the second-best Advanced run I've seen, and besides to beat Advanced!Alice you have to be doing something right. Go for it!

This is why I created a wiki page. (http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Phantasmagoria_Trues/Gameplay) It's still under construction, but it has all the important stuff right now.
The only reason why you would not have entered Unseen Area 1 after 1DNB first three stages is because of Trial Mode. Go turn it off.

Why am I posting this in the achievements thread and not the rage thread?
Because this is the first time in playing PCB Lunatic that I've made it to stage 5. And this run had a couple of horrible deaths with bombs in stock, too.
I've progressed a lot lately, it seems.
In other words, I can do this. I will do this.

This is exactly what happened to me. It's a shame the timer got cut off, too, because when I did this, I was sitting at two seconds left.

Well, I'd say this was my most amazing run yet. Amazing first 5 stages, though not everything was captured, a lot was. Started stage 6 with 9 lives. Started Okuu with 9 lives. Ended 1CC with 7 lives, with those 2 deaths in stage 6 being only stupid ones on Hell's Artificial Sun.
^^
-
Perfected midboss Reimu and boss Reimu minus last spell in the same run! One death to post midboss stage, didn't capture last spell.
I will do this.

I've never faced Lunatic Reimu but I've heard she's worse than Kaguya. Some people have said that.

Reimu has a few cheap tricks, but they're more or less controllable, and her boss nonspells are pitifully easy to boot. Most of Kaguya's attacks are ignorant somehow, and I don't want to even think about perfecting the main boss only to fail one of her last spells. <_<

DS 5-2 no charge capture.
Currently sitting on 43/108, with about 10 I know I can do.
Which one from 12 is easiest no charge?
-
Which one from 12 is easiest no charge?
12-3 12-6, you can keep jumping from top to bottom to avoid the laser branches if you can get past the bugs. At least in theory, can't say I've tried this myself.

Well that question is moot now because I got 12-4.
Red Cloak, Blue Cloak no charge clear.
I also got 5-5, a.k.a. laser hell.

Hah...hah...hah...finally did it...
PCB Lunatic 1CC (replay) (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22156).
Consisting of border abuse, bombspam, and "what is this 'dodge' you speak of". Also a few actually decent moments. :V
Still feeling exhilarated. Nowhere near what I felt after my first Lunatic clear (MoF), but it feels pretty damn good.
-
Have you 1cc'd IN yet? All you should need is a few hours of practice, since that's all IN is about.
-
Somehow unlocked Spoiler on DS and got 2 down. Gonna attempt more Blazing Star and go on to the rest, I guess.
-
Captured like >50 cards in IN Spell Practice, see myself improving a lot in dodging skills, and even reached stage 6 with remilia solo on normal :)
Tried Hard/Lunatic difficulty, giving me a few surprise, although both attempts didn't reach stage 6/4 :(
I notice that I have unlocked 4 last words, although my skills is not ready for it XDD
BUT, despite all these, I still can't figure out the extra stage =.=
-
Unlocked Hatate after playing for 1 hour, 12 minutes and 26 seconds on a fresh score.dat.
(http://i.imgur.com/ati2e.jpg)
This was basically a test run, and I already got a few ideas on which scenes to skip in future attempts, oh and I played through all the Hatate spoiler scenes as Aya just because. :V
I wonder if there are any benefits scorewise to use Aya instead of Hatate in the spoiler scenes, has anyone looked into this?
-
I'm pretty sure the Spoiler scenes have a fixed character choice-no Aya vs. Aya and no Hatate vs. Hatate.
Funny you should speedrun unlocking Hatate, I pseudo-planned a route.
If you record it this is another category that could go on SDA-and it'd be pretty impressive I think.
-

I'd think Hatate would be better because 1.7x angle bonus, wouldn't she? Maybe that's why you couldn't even get 10m
-

It's a bug, if you choose next scene at SP-4 and onwards you can go on as Aya vs Aya.

If you record it this is another category that could go on SDA-and it'd be pretty impressive I think.
It's any% RTA, right? I see your route, here's what I did.
1-3 all
4 skip 4-2,4-7
5,skip 5-5
6 skip 6-2
7-2, 7-4,7-5,7-6
8-2,8-4,8-5,8-8
9,2-,9-5
10-1, 10-4
11-2, 11-4
12-1
EX-1,EX-3,EX-4,EX-8
I felt I should be able to consistently do these scenes, I was disappointed in 8-8, probably lost me 5 minutes, by dying repeatedly at last photo with 98-99% charge like a derp (if I freshened up my memory beforehand it would not have happened).
maybe 8-4 was really risky, but I did oneshot it, I might go for 11-6 or 11-8 instead.
11-4 did make me rage, I might do 7-7 instead in the future.
I easily lost 10-15 minutes in the spoiler scenes from doing the Hatate part with Aya, but yeah.
I'd think Hatate would be better because 1.7x angle bonus, wouldn't she? Maybe that's why you couldn't even get 10m
Well, Aya can fit more bullets in the frame, can't she (I suck at DS scoring) :V
-
any% SS (single segment, meaning no saves and no stops), since SDA doesn't use "RTA" to describe it.
But yeah, that's what it would be.
Consistency is what I made my route for-I'm pretty consistent at 7-3 but not at all at 7-2. I'm also very consistent at 6-2 but not at 6-3.
I think not dying would mean this gets finished in ~35 minutes, maybe 30 even.

Yeah that sounds like a good estimate, and unless there's some competition the route would probably always be up to the runners preferences, right?
I might try recording another attempt, but I fear that some better players will put even a decent attempt from me to shame rather easily.
-
Partly inspired by the current haps in the rage thread, I decided to take a go at EoSD extra.
Welp. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22160)
Also in this run I finally figured out a good way to handle Catadioptric. That spell card has prevented many a perfect before, but this should cut it down to size. :3
-
Recorded a 0:54:01 in game time DS Hatate unlocking run (about 1:00:12 real time). I didn't exactly do the menu stuff very fast, accidentally starting scenes I didn't intent to play and shit like that. My biggest issue is definitely the spoiler scenes, because they are so freaking slow with all the camera zooming going on, so failing there is too annoying. Oh well, might try again sometime.

AT LAST... Lunatic 1cc... PCB/ReimuA. It's my first one, too. Holy shit that felt great. Like I were high or something.
I also realized, that all I needed to do was take no risks, and bomb DAMN liberally.
Features:
- Full Bomb stock Death to Midboss Chen
- Massive Alice fail
- Massive Prismriver fail
- Amazing, for my standards, Youmu, with God's Flashing slash fucking captured, for the first time.
- And much more..
Thanks to Malkyrian for the motivation... His clear sparked my pretty much sleeping interest for PCB :V

Tried Lunatic Mode on Imperishable Night with the lives set to 5 because anymore and I'm probably not going to learn anything besides bombombombomb.
Game overed to Earth In A Pot.
To be honest, getting all the way to Stage 6 was a much better outcome than I could've ever hoped for. I thought I was going to game over on Stage 4.
My bid for survival throughout Stage 5 was a thing bordering on insane determination. I had zero lives going into Tewi and managed to hold out long enough to get her extend and then lost the life during Reisen but during the fight I got the 800 point extend to bump me back up to one spare live which I subsequently lost but at least managed to reach Stage 6 with, and then I died to Earth In A Pot.
Not bad, all in all. I oughta start shifting my default playmode for Imperishable Night to Lunatic because I can easily see this being possible if I just get used to it.

If you're just looking to 1cc (and lose before stage 6 next attempt) I'd continuespam Eirin so you can choose Kaguya on your real run. She's a lot easier than Eirin, imo, and a 1cc is a 1cc.

Oh god yeah. If I think I'm in with a chance I'll pick FinalB. I can't do Eirin for shit.
Thing is, I had 0 lives and 2 bombs at the end of Stage 5 so I had to go FinalA because I actually wanted to see the ending.

EX-1 was the only surprising one of that bunch; EX-4 and EX-8 are both really easy.
I just now cleared EX-7 without charge, which unlocked Spoiler stage without ever using camera charge! Time to go unlock Hatate so I can check this challenge off as a success!
@above Nice! UFO hard is definitely a league above the rest of the hard modes, so you should be able to 1cc PCB and IN lunatic without too much effort now.

Beat Advanced Alice again in PT. This time ending with 3/2 rather than 0/1.
The score is only 950 quadrillion rather than 1.1 quintillion, but it was using a significantly less "broken" character - UFO Reimu A rather than the Cirno B on the dnh wiki. (Seriously, Cirno B's spread probably wasn't made with PT's HUUUGE bosses in mind).
I'll probably upload the ReimuA run for the sake of it.

Not good enough, Miko. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22175)
Well that was a weird day. Three perfects of bosses that are not easy to defeat (and one that took me nearly two weeks of dedication to off the first time). A good day, I'd say!
-
I did it again, this time with ReimuA, Mountain of Faith Normal 1cc!! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22185)
I did this to unlock it for the extra stage, and I was surprised that I did it in the 1st attempt. :o
I thought I almost captured the Post-Momizi waterfalls, but the last moment scared me, causing me to bomb. :ohdear:
The death in stage 5 was stupid, I always forget to bomb in stage 5 =.=
I went too heavy with bombs in stage 6. :blush: But thanks to no power, I captured Miracle of Otensui.
But then because of feeling so happy, my worst ever performance in MoF followed.
At the end, I ended with 1/3, which is better than the 0/0 last time with ReimuB.
Now to move on to the extra :)

Reached 81 million in LLS. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JCvi5dy1Tk) I'd post it in the scoring subforum, but it had 5.56% slowdown.
Any idea how to reach the 90 million mentioned here (http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Lotus_Land_Story/Translation/Other)? My score after stage 5 was nearly 68 million; I know I made several mistakes on stage 6 but I don't see how I could have lost 13 million points from that...

Yay, I 1CC'd Touhou: PoFV (normal)!
It was an ok run, for my standards. I was actually able to beat Aya my first try, instead of fooling up like I usually do.
And, of course, I finally defeated Shikieiki xD (after like, 3 deaths to her, anyway).
But man, I don't know whats up with Shiki. Most of the game is easy, and then.. Shiki just WILL NOT die, haha. It's rather amusing, looking at all her freaky dodges in the replay I saved xD

Eh, nice one, Taizen. That actually reminds me of myself back a while ago, when I worked for 1b Phantasm. Or actually I worked for a no-miss SakuyaB run, which turned into a 1b.
Yeah, that being said, just by capturing some stuff, collecting every point item and not dying, you should hit 1b.
It's fun to see you people scoring, keep it up!

I appear to be entering some sort of "curse" where 1 billion is RIGHT THERE but is SO UNFORTUNATELY UNOBTAINABLE.
Good job! I should also work on breaking 1 billion. It's either that or clearing EoSD Lunatic

Unlocked Hatate in DS with a fresh score.dat without using shift key/focus (also means no camera charging) and no switching the camera alignment.
Some highlights uploaded: EX-2 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22226) this felt like a pretty cool achievement on its own, 12-6 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22227) this was probably the hardest scene to clear for me, 11-3 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22228) it was fun because I missed what was supposed to be the last picture because I couldn't snap around the camera, 8-8 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22229) this scene is just fun to play, it's way too short when you play it normally.
Some others that were nice were 10-3 because of the improvised strategy which yielded a clear on my second try, 10-4, because it played a bit like Hatate's when you don't switch the camera alignment. Yeah and EX-8 without allowing focus made me feel like I was a noob at the game again, usually I snap around the camera for pictures by tapping focus there, but now I couldn't do that. Took me 3 tries to clear because of this :/
Attached file contains most replays, 1-2 -> 1-5 I didn't even save replay, EX-4 and SP-1, SP-5 are included, but had over 5% slowdown, but all these are easymode with these conditions anyway, so whatever. Also I think a few EX-3 fails are included too, one with a derp and one with a lucky dodge.

I got another perfect Easy clear! This is another one for Imperishable Night and I picked Remilia this time! This is my 6th playthrough like this so far! :toot:

Barely failed a VoWG capture, so tried timing it out for fun and lasted 40 seconds of the wall phase. I can definitely see the appeal. <_<

So, I didn't do Final A on Hard Mode.
But then I realized I can spark whatever I don't like, and 1cc'd Hard for Final B (even after a few careless deaths in stage 5)

Urrr.... Getting closer to that UFO Extra Clear... @@ Got Nue's survival card down to 4 second before getting clipped :D

Double Death Butterfly timeout. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laV5pCvgDIA)
What makes this possible? The fact that I actually got Hourglass working. Now that I can just reset at the start of the attack instead of playing through two thirds of Phantasm every time, dying a thousand times isn't such a big deal anymore.
It's almost like Spell Practice is in every Touhou game now. You know, like it should have been to begin with.

Unfortunately not possible. The computer I got Hourglass working on pretty much refuses to run SA at 60 FPS without vsync. Hourglass and vsync are mutually exclusive.
Anyway, results of a bit of boredom: UFO Easy 1CC without summoning any UFOs (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22240). Was expecting it to actually be challenging with this limitation. It, um, wasn't. Even with multiple derp deaths.

Try normal without summoning UFOs!
EDIT: FUCK I DOUBLE POSTED
-
Uh, no, SA Normal is the hardest. I'm pretty sure we had this debate before. Do remember that new players aren't exactly professionals at bomb planning.
In other news, 2 Miss Greatest Treasure Timeout. Not-bad-at-all.
By the by, I DID try Normal NoUFO after you posted the Easy clear, only with no bombs too. Wouldn't you know it, I hated Murasa's final spell back then too! I also literally ran into bullets during Shou's final card and S6 Nue for no reason, and along with Byakuren's fourth nonspell and Kogasa's final spell, I failed! Yeah. Definitely, definitely doable. (basically a 4-and-lower Miss UFO Normal run is needed)

You've cleared EoSD Lunatic.
I did this before I even thought of clearing anything on Hard.
You can do this and make it to Byakuren with like five three lives if you bomb efficiently. Trust me, if I can clear with a 0/0 ratio in my Normal Mode prime, you can clear with default resources remaining AT LEAST. Although if Murasa's a problem then never mind.

UFO took about one hundred and fifty.

I feel the same, I can clear SA on lunatic pretty regularly now, but I still have difficulty with UFO on normal and can't even reach past Murasa on UFO Hard! :ohdear:
-
Playing UFO no UFO is surprisingly relaxing for some reason... And I perfected Normal Shou for the first time. Still Game Over'd to Devil's Recital or whatever,though. Too many derps. (ALSO CAPTURED BYAKUREN'S SPELL WITH THE CURVY LASERS,AS WELL AS THE STUPIDLY HARD 3RD NONSPELL)

This practice run of UFO Lunatic Stage 5 includes:
+A flawless timeout of Nazrin's nonspell.
+A crazy capture of Greatest Treasure.
+Flawless spam fairies.
+A capture of Shou's first spell.
+All three nonspells, flawless.
-Random bullshit pattern at the very end of the stage deciding to kill me and ruin a flawless stage portion.
-Death to second spell.
-Death to last spell.
-Vajra.
Annoyingly, these are my stats with ReimuA (aka 99% of the overall stats):
Jeweled Pagoda "Greatest Treasure" - 5/139
Jeweled Pagoda "Radiant Treasure Gun" - 8/113
Light Sign "Aura of Justice" - 23/97
Buddha's Light "Vajra of Perfect Buddhism" - 0/73

I timed out Asteroid Belt in about 7 or 8 attempts, and then I selected the option to try again instead of saving a replay. :derp:
After another 15-20 tries I got this,
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22246
-
Woohoo I captured all of Yuyuko's non-spells and spells on Lunatic with the exception of her knives non-spell and the spell immediately following that (because I bombed at the last second on the knives non-spell and that carried over into the next spell :/). But I finally found a good strategy for Perfect Blossom and I figured out how the red butterflies work on her survival. I can do this!... (Probably not immediately though, given how often I tend to derp on these things)
-

(basically a 4-and-lower Miss UFO Normal run is needed)
Decided to try this, and managed a 3DNB1UFO clear (replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22247)) on the fourth try (first game overed on Byakuren's third nonspell, second restarted after accidentally collecting a UFO in stage 1, third restarted after a death on stage 3). The deaths were on Radiant Treasure and Byakuren's third and fourth nonspells (why am I less consistent at Byakuren's third nonspell on Normal than on Lunatic?). I accidentally summoned a blue UFO in stage 4 and didn't feel like restarting, so I let it escape; it didn't have much effect anyway except making midboss Nue slightly harder to survive since I was concentrating on not depleting the UFO's health.
-
Yeah, the thing about UFO Normal is that some things are just as fast as they are on Lunatic. (see: Stage 5 Nazrin's midboss lasers, Byakuren's lasers and Byakuren's third/fourth nonspells)
I'm getting fairly consistent at timing out Greatest Treasure with 2 misses, and I managed a 1-Miss timeout too. I'd say that's worth a mention.
-
Any little improvement is an accomplishment to me now.
I now know how I want to approach Radiant Treasure Gun and Vajra of Spinning Shit. I can probably capture RTG about 1/3 to 1/2 of the time, and Vajra most of the time. (Assuming I'm ReimuA with full power, anyway.) Also, I feel like I have a fighting chance against Greatest Treasure now. I'm having a lot of trouble with Shou's last card lately, though, which is irritating. In any case, Stage 5 NDNBNUFO doesn't seem so out of reach anymore. Nazrin and Shou will be butts forever, though.
Also, 2DNB Byakuren (second nonspell, and LFS). My best Byakuren performance so far. I think I can read the first spell better than I used to, which is cool. (~1/4 capture rate possibly?) I need to decide on a good way to approach the second nonspell, and maybe think about Devil's Recitation some more, but now Stage 6 NDNBNUFO doesn't seem entirely out of reach either.
Cool.
-
Finally got a 1cc of Phantasmagoria Trues advanced all unseen stages yesterday. Alice's last spell is pretty ridiculous.
And just got a 1cc of unlimited. I wasn't expecting it to be easier than advanced.
-
Speaking of harder, I'd have to agree with SA being harder than UFO. Considering I've cleared UFO with MarisaA and i have yet to get a 1cc clear on SA.
Then again, I did spend the last two months on/off on UFO. Late march I could get up to Murasa without a continue, and three weeks ago I finally got my 1cc clear. (My heart was racing through flying fantastica. Started stage 6 with 2 lives and 1 bomb, ended up on the last spell card with no lives and no bombs. My god, that second between beating the boss and waiting for the bullets to vanish felt like forever.)

Descent of Izuna Gongen timeout.
I'd upload it, but somehow I managed to safespot it by accident. The resulting video is, frankly, boring. I have it if anyone's still interested, but even then I need to go to bed at the moment, so it won't be up for a while.

I played a bit of DS and captured a bunch of scenes, I'm at 105/108 scenes with aya and 96/99 with hatate :D
Also more of a self-accomplishment, I'm more consistent at the second phase of Seamless Ceiling in ultra! Maybe with enough practice luck I will be able to capture it. :3
-
Fantasy Heaven now. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22261)
It took a few (281) tries to do, but I can safely say it was a lot more bearable than timing out Ancient Duper, for one the spellcard is shorter, and for another, it's more fun, in my opinion anyway.
Also, thanks for the encouragement on the whole Ancient Duper timeout, Ace
-
Oh hey I just timed out Wild Carpet. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQamnZr7diM)
Probably should have quit after the hundredth try or so, but Mamizou's theme just kept me going. It's just about impossible to raeg at all the clipdeaths while listening to that.

StB Scene 3-6. 478 tries. Finally cleared it.
I've cleared most of Level 4, but this one scene I couldn't do until now.
After the little pause I took because of Diablo 3, I'm now back and doing warm-up with DS StB. :V
-
And SWR Lunatic Clear with Reimu, first attempt today, such a relief to be done with this, don't think I've EVER raged this much while playing. Fortunately, my desk seems to have been built with the intent of protecting children from nuclear warheads, so it was fully capable of bearing the massive onslaught of my fists (and my feet) when I went all fighting game on it due to the lack of alternatives in my direct vicinity.
I still don't fully understand why that turn-around delay annoys me so much more than it did in IaMP, but I guess it's because the back-step there actually allowed you to safely graze during the attacks where you had to rely on it. In SWR, I just kind of get hit and I'm in big trouble if someone escapes into the corner.
Well, no matter, done, 12.3 left!

Woo hoo! Cleared PCB Lunatic. Reimu is such a cheater. I cleared it on my first try with her. 3 bombs per life and her small hitbox trivializes everything compared to Marisa. Honestly, Yuyuko didn't even feel that challenging with Reimu (even though I ended up failing EVERY SINGLE SPELL, including the one that's pure streaming lol).
Anyway, that's one down! I wonder which game I should attempt next...

Welp, that's it for Mokou. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22285) This is actually my second clear of the Ex stage, but I missed out on Imperishable Shooting the first time so this is the first clear that really counts for me. ...Not that it really matters, since I got hit in the face on the first wave of her Last Spell (and after doing so well on the rest of the stage, too!), but good enough. A clear's a clear.
Next up is doing it again with Magic Team, which, to be honest, I am really not looking forward to considering how rough they have it going. I might have to resort to Malice Beam abuse to get this run done, I think.
(An accomplishment of a broader sort is that this marks the halfway point of my Touhou takedown - that's four out of eight Ex bosses beaten so far, and Shoot the Bullet is nearly wrapped up as well; there's only seven stages left in that game before I hit 100% completion. I'm getting there!)

Actually, don't Magic Team have it generally speaking easier with Mokou since Alice's beam thing hits both Mokou and the wings at once, giving her 1.5x damage output? Or some shit like that anyway.

Never cleared IN Lunatic so I wouldn't know what would be a good score to have as a goal :derp:
3b Lunatic is way under 50% of the WR and it is not a really good score. You can pretty much beat it without even scoring, but just having a clean clear. 4b is something to hunt for, and 5b is something to look up to. 5.4b is something ridiculously badass.
Youmu-anything is motherfucking hellshit. - IN Youmu is one of the hardest scoring routes I've come across.
-

Huh, I think you may be right. I remember something similar happening with Yuyuko's fan in PCB, and Alice's been doing pretty nice damage against Mokou in Spell Practice. If that's the case, then this might not be as big of a deal as I thought.
It's a shame that the lack of homing turns Ex-Keine into a jerk though, but I imagine it'll be smooth(er) once I start reliably getting past her.

SA Extra Cleared!
Who would have thought that a run which lost a life to danmaku paranoia(which was 19/19 beforeeee) would ever clear???
Following 3 deaths and 453 bombs at Genetics Of the Subconscious, I cheesed through Subterrenean Rose by timeout-ing. It was pretty nerve-wracking. :V
Still, It's a clear. Now only Nue left to go as far as extra bosses are concerned.

Is it really? Am I not dreaming?
Yup, someone is doing IN easy scoring. Good job.
Also Youmu is the hardest shot in the game. I would really recommend Border team. - 2b on border team should not be hard to break if you follow a good route. (copy the WR, if that fails, copy the grandmaster - whoever that is for you. That is how I started, by copying my idols)
Ah, Zengeku, if hunting for a decent survival one should forget scoring for a while and focus on gaining the consistency. You should have told him to improve his survival, not score, I believe.

Oh yeah, Esu playing IN Easy. Well you just beat one of my scores. Congrats. :D
-
Marisa is not an easygoing shot either when it comes to optimal play, since her shot is a motherfucker. I will not say that they would be bad for low-effort 2b scores, but if you want to hit a "low-effort high on the lists"-score you should play the teams - youkai partner eases stuff a lot.
And I'm pretty sure you could break 2b with any of the shots, barring youkai solos, Railgun. All it would need should be some finesse in the routes. But I am rather sure that you could at least hit 2b, if not compete with me.

I'm not too keen on copying unless I really, REALLY hate something (I.E. I really need to watch a route of Cowrie Shell Hard/Lunatic).
-
Isn't Youmu solo the easiest to use if you're aiming to reach a certain score, since she naturally scores higher than everyone else? I just did a random IN Easy attempt with Youmu solo (basically no-focus everything except Kaguya's 2nd and 4th last spells, and bomb a few times for point items in stage 4) and reached 2.5 billion.
-

Technically true, but I think the problem stems from the fuck that Youmu is unwieldy as fuck and a total bitch to use.

This took almost exactly a month since I first started 1cc'd with ReimuA. Pretty much my favourite game, and I have about 170 hours of playtime on this game, which is not alot, but compared to any of the other games, it completely trumps them. :3
Now I've definitely got to get back to 1ccing all the games on hard, that means just UFO and TD left. When I last played them I recall getting completely stumped by stage 2 and 3 :wat:, so hopefully I've improved a bit since then!
Glad to have this achievement done, but now I'm a bit sad that it's over :ohdear: I'll still 1cc the games again with all the shottypes just to make sure I can consistently do so, but time to revisit the other games :)

also, MarisaC is the best shottype ever!

Well done sir. Clearing this game with any shottype other than ReimuA is a huge feat in itself, let alone 1cc'ing Lunatic :V

Grats cactu and Nindel.
also, MarisaC is the best shottype ever!
Yes.
Let's be friends.

Perfect IN 4b lunatic. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22340) Clipped FMS on my first attempt at this, then a few days of torture until now.
Ended up with 42/78 on Asteroid Belt and 16/33 on Event Horizon. I thought the former was supposed to be harder. <_<

Congrats on the StB all clear!
now do it at 90 fps
As for me, I timed out Descent of Izuna Gongen (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nRsI4AYMwg) again, only this time without the safespot BS, making it actually worth an upload. This means I've now timed out everything in PCB Extra worth timing out, except Blue Oni Red Oni, where the timeout phase is god-tier. (Seriously, try this, once it gets under 20 seconds or so it reaches Tongling Yoshika level.)

Wait, did I StB all clear before you did? I thought you were better than me at this game :V
(also y u no take the last 3 shots from the bottom)
-
I think you might want to take a look at his total score, I'm fairly sure he didn't just clear it for the sake of it.

Oh no, I've had all the scenes cleared for a while, my goal was to reach 40 million. Just beating all the scenes is only a few hours of work at most!
-

This is why I immediately assumed that.

Nice job on the score goal then-beating all the scenes is not only a few hours of work though-clearing all of stages 9, 10 and extra is a few hours of work alone :ohdear:
As for what I just did...I captured Utsuho's first spell on hard completely at random, and did the stage without streaming. Unfortunately I ragequit after dying to the second nonspell.
-
YESSSS.
[attach=1]
FINALLY. CLEAR. AFTER SO MANY DEATHS TO HER ON EVEN JUST THAT ONE RUN. THIS PROVES HOW MANY DEATHS I HAD (well, and the flowers prove it too on the pic above) :
[attach=2]
Ugh, it was so friggin tough... BUT. I feel so accomplished, having done at least reasonably well IMO.
Replay is here~ (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22350) I still don't get how I ended up with 3 extra lives when I got to Eiki :V
And as a note, I would have shot myself if this run didn't go through. You have no idea how hectic I was feeling after 3 consecutive deaths on her.
WHOOO.
-
So I decided to stream some Touhou.
Mostly an uneventful hour, although I did have a couple nice captures.
and also a perfect run of the Prismriver sisters on hard mode, something I didn't feel like trying for a while.
That's 1 less hard mode boss on my list.
-
Oh god finally.
StB ultra 7-3 clear, this scene was really annoying because of the horrible hitboxes those knives have and the fact that going through the blue knife walls became basically luck based timing, so I couldn't go through them and having to slowly stream those big bubbles between the dumb knives.
Replay http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22354 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22354)

(http://i.imgur.com/XYM5V.png)
Yessssss another lunatic down! I think I used like 5 bombs on Hourai Jewel since it was my first time seeing it, but whatever :V. I had a pretty good run otherwise, considering that this was only my second time against Kaguya. It's kind of amazing to think back on how hard I used to find some of the bosses. I used to think Final Spark was impossible, but now it's an easy capture. I also captured most spells in the earlier stages that gave me trouble. First captures of Ephemerality 137, Asteroid Belt, and Mind Stopper (I don't know how I struggled with this one after seeing it a few times), so I'm pretty happy. Now on to MoF!
-
Adding another IN perfect on the pile with Stage 5 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22362) done. If I had any doubts about IN being easiest Touhou, I don't anymore. <_<

Stage 6 is up next~

First EoSD MarisaB 1cc. I actually did this a few weeks ago, but I left for vacation right after and didn't have time to upload this.
Compared to my MarisaA 1cc this took much less effort. With MarisaA it must have taken like 30 attempts and ended 0/0, but this one took only a few and ended 2/0. I actually think I might be ready for Lunatic now. I ended with that surplus, and I wasted 9 bombs from deaths with unused bombs because I was in a risky "I wanna capture stuff" mood. And a few of my deaths were derps. So if a run goes really well Lunatic is probably possible for me.
I almost had a perfect Stage 3 but I had a derp death during Light Chaos Dance, running straight up into a bullet :(
-
(http://i.imgur.com/4vsl8.png)
It's a start. <_<
-
So I just did my first "speed run" of Shoot the Bullet.
I cleared all the scenes in under 2 hours, which was better than I expected. Gonna try to get under 1:30 next!

Timed out Omoikane's Brain. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-G3KML-eYg)
-
^Wow, that's really cool. Also saw your Asteroid Belt timeout, both awesome.
Felt like playing the Extra stage in IN but wanted to practice Keine's third spell card. Failed 3 times so then I tried Mokou's "Woo". Failed twice. Then I decided to try Fujiyama Volcano. Capped it on my third try then decided to try doing it no focus again which somehow turned into a no focus timeout attempt ??? Which after a good 30-ish tries I did.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYw0_y-0QqE
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22370
Still love that Spell. Maybe I should try to timeout the Ultra version... but I had enough trouble just capping it, hmm.
-
Thanks.
Try doing it at 90 FPS. I did it a few days back, it is ridiculously fun that way.
-
No focus timeout at 90 fps? Hadn't even tried 90 fps before, 50 attempts at it later and I've decided to just try to cap it normally first, which took about another 9 attempts. http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22371
It' a damn sight quicker than I expected and Youmu is too. Doubt I can do this but I'm sure as hell gunna keep trying. Maybe I'll see what the attempts counter maxes at, haha.

Funny how it took nearly a year between my first capture of it and this one, although since it only took 7 tries today...

Game of Rising Lunatic Timeout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22375)
-
12.3 Hard Mode Clear with Sanae. Didn't capture the very last Spellcard this time, think I need some practice with the controls, but doesn't make a difference anyway.
Now, time for Lunatic again.
-
Cleared UFO Extra. Finally. Ended 0/2, because I got clipped near the end when I was all out of bombs. Almost captured Nue's survival, but I got clipped right at the end. Damn her and those wisp bullets... *mutter* They're better with Orin...
-
First time playing the IN to get the final 1B with Reimu/Yukari, I opened for the first time here the Keine and Marisa's last word, captured the Keine one and went until Kaguya for the first time with 1cc. I was doing well, I arrived in Kaguya at 2:30pm so I was confident to get the final B until that Dragon Necklace spellcard and *boof* my pc overheated and BSOD =( Next week I'll buy a new notebook, life is too cruel.
-
OK, so I had enough of my Hina bad luck curse or whatever the hell happened
And just decided to bomb everything everywhere
VoWG was way too close for comfort though (this is only on hard though)
Replay here (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22382)
seriously, the end of the VoWG is probably worth checking out, I basically went straight through a bullet sideways and lived
(as well as my terrible luck on her last nonspell)
other than that it's just me bombing like hell on everything everywhere
and yes I do know Hina doesn't actually give others bad luck :V
Of course, that lucky dodge was the only luck I've been getting at all these past few days, it's ridiculous.
-
So earlier on today I decided to try to capture Fujiyama Volcano at 120 fps with Youmu/Yuyu. So I did:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJzZpONbVHU
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22384
Then I tried 150 fps and succeeded there too, just took a bit longer. So then I decided to try 180 fps. A crap load of attempts later I managed to do it :D Maybe not that great since it's only a normal capture and is very heavily luck based but great for me nonetheless.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk7OvZGSi3o
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22385
There's a glitch with the fps display showing it as only being 52 fps but in an attempt to prove it's real I showed a real time play of a spell at 180 fps then it's replay. Vid is in the 180 fps cap comment.
-
Finally timed out Game of Rising (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jARHrO1wnsk).
There is no joy, only the knowledge of no more suffering.

Which shot-type are you using? Marisa basically trivializes Astronomical Entombing because of how fast she kills familiars, as well as Earth in a Pot. Might not be worth giving up Border Team's smaller hitbox though.
-
Always nice to see another UFO 1cc. Congrats BT.
@Seiga: Don't you dare shoot familiars in Astronomical Entombing. If you want to trivialize it then do so at the top of the screen.

Next up, the no-movement timeout challenge. :V
ON! You are so on!
706 attempts to see how low I can get no-movement Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana later and my best is 72 seconds. As in, that's the number the timer displayed.
Not an accomplishment of anything but my extreme patience for incredibly stupid tasks. I do really want to see how low this'll go though, I've never gotten it below 72, died on that number like four times now.

I wouldn't really advise trying it. It can backfire horribly, after all. If you're using Border Team, (and I hope you are) then the easiest way is probably to just gun it down with Yukari.
-
Yeah, that's how I thought, the beginning just seems way too tight. Doing it the normal way isn't too bad for me, anyways.

(http://i.imgur.com/MyZPz.jpg)
Awww yeahhh! Best weekend ever, 1ccing both IN and MoF Lunatic. As a bonus, I ended up beating Kanako on 1 life. Though I guess that isn't saying much since she's pretty easy for a final boss. In any case... :toot:
-
Congratulations!
To BT as well, always breaks my heart to see people suffering through UFO until they finally get that drop of the sweet honey of victory, only to realize that someone just stuffed an entire jar of that honey down their throat and their body goes from "Must win" to "This is life" in an instant.

I always liked the metaphor "took the elevator to the top of the emotional skyscraper."
But no really BT, good job with that clear. You can rest easy knowing the worst is over with. Just take 10D at your own pace, and victory will come in time.

Oh hey, I haven't played in a while, decided to fire up PCB out of lulz and do some stage practice. After a few tries I captured 80% Reflowering or whatever the name is on Lunatic. Not bad dude, not bad.
The closest I'll ever get to a wonderful PCB Extra run. Perfected Ran and only one cherry border blown during the stage on accident. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22415)

It's either skill or practice time or both that matters. You obviously spend much more time playing touhou than me, so there's no wonder you can do it so fast.
P.S.: Now go time out Royal Flare already! :trollface:

Nah, I wasn't going for a perfect or anything of the sort anyway. It was out of sheer boredom. As long as the boss is perfected I don't really care either way because that's the actually challenging part of the stage, dying during the stage itself isn't a big deal. :P
In any case, all Lunatic and Extra spells captured. Now to unlock Phantasm and finish that as well.
-
Just cleared PhanTrues again but still no stage 6 practice available. Anyone know what's up with this, and what it takes to unlock it?
-
Holy shit perfect PCB Phantasm on my first try as SakuyaB. She sure makes the spam in the stage (you know which) easier. I was shaking during BoLaD, lol.
-
I am not sure if this belongs here or in the rage thread. For my standards, I guess it goes here.
I got really angry after ragequitting SA normal on the first stage six times in a row. Then I drank some milk and went at it again.
Did a perfect stage 1, perfect stage 2 (figured out Hatred for the Humble and Rich for the first time) and managed to scramble up to Satori without dying once. Her last spell card was costly, but I got into stage 5 with three lives, while my previous maximum was zero lives.
Thus, I reached boss Orin for the first time, with three lives intact. It was a massacre. Lost on her final spellcard.
Still, this is a major improvement. :)

Nice! The 1cc should be very close now if you can reach Orin's final spellcard. You may want to check out Satori's safespot for her last card if you're using ReimuA, aside from cheesing the entire card it also gives alot of graze :3

LLS Hard 1CC (http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad256/Malkyrian/hard.png) with MarisaB.
Stage 4, though...holy crap.
I got to Reimu with a stock of 5/0 (I think? pretty sure that's what it was). Last time I tried to 1CC LLS on Hard, I bombspammed the hell out of Reimu and wound up doing so badly I game overed from an initial stock of 3/1.
This time, though, since I didn't have any bombs to start with, I had to actually dodge...
...and dodge...
...holy crap how did I just dodge that...
...how am I not dead yet...
...
HOLY SHIT I JUST PERFECTED LLS REIMU ON HARD HOW DID THAT HAPPEN.
-
Just had another big advance on the road to the SA normal 1cc. I suddenly captured both Storm on Mount Ooe and Knockout in Three Steps for the first time in the same run. This combined with an adequate performance on Satori enabled me to enter stage 5 with 6 lives and 4 parts.
Sadly, I had a random clipping death and Cat's Walk killed me twice (I SWEAR I PRESSED THE X BUTTON)
Still, I managed to scramble past Orin and survived long enough into Stage 6 to witness Utsuho's third spell. I am very pleased indeed.
-
12.3 Story Mode Lunatic 1CC with Sanae.
I went through the penultimate Spellcard, seeing it for the first time on Lunatic, getting irritated like never before because of the camera that I hate so much, cost me such an absurd amount of health, wasn't even remotely close to being funny. I still lived through it and figured "Whatever, at least I've got all Spellcards unlocked now!", proceeded to live through the first wave of the last Spellcard, then ran out of luck, but still content with the result of the run. Was already pressing down to get to Spell Practice asap, when suddenly, uh, the ending popped up.
I knew you didn't have to beat the Spellcard in time to get the clear, but I didn't know you didn't even have to survive it.
Regardless, seeing how I'm being absolutely slaughtered by the Spellcard in Spell Practice, I'm really glad it's that way. Whee, time to finally take a look at the Overdrives in TD!

Also, you can get it to display normally (like I did with this replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22440)) by modifying the replay file a little before uploading (open it as a text file, scroll to the end, and change the "O.D." to "Overdrive"; not sure if anything else works, "Spell126" didn't). (Edit: And you can even search for Overdrive replays by modifying the url so d=8 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/index.php?u=&g=--&p=&t=--&d=8&ch=0). I see my replay wasn't the first.)

Hurray, TD Easy Mode clear, only two Misses, Kyouko ran into me once as she appeared, then I let a spirit spawn on top of me in Stage 4. At least I captured all Spellcards, which kind of helped me warm up again.
Seriously have to wonder, though, what's wrong with Easy Mode? Some things made me wonder if I had to move at all, other things (Yoshika's NS-Patterns) felt like they were straight out of Hard Mode.
On that note, managed to clear all Overdrives. I have to say, they didn't take me nearly as long to clear as the Last Words in IN, but I greatly enjoyed finally seeing and capturing them. Difficulty seemed to vary a little, but I think they're well designed with both fun and challenge in mind. The only ones that took me way more than 10 attempts were Tojiko's and Seiga's overdrives (~30 and 89 attempts respectively), but Seiga's was easily the coolest.
Capturing Mamizou's Overdrive on the first try was a cool finish, though, the original version always gave me lots and lots of trouble, glad to see that I haven't lost everything in my absence from Shoot 'em Ups.
Anyway, with that out of the way, I'm also proud to say that I've finally cleared all content all games from 06 to 13 have to offer on the highest difficulty with at least one character!
Took me 1 year and 8 months after my first Lunatic Clear, but it's finally, finally over. In that time, I always only played the game I was currently trying to clear, so it's been almost two years since I last played IN, but now it's finally time to tackle some of the fun stuff like timing out Spellcards, trying to NDNB stages or just clearing games with other characters/shottypes, at least until I find copies of the PC-98 games or a new game is released.
Over, yey!

I'd never seen the opening grazed-the red spell I bomb grazed the whole thing which I did see on Malkyrian's channel.

Grazing in MB extra is ridiculous.
This. It is legitimately possible to get so many lives that the game can't properly show them. (http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad256/Malkyrian/kaikeidou2012-05-1722-20-02-83.png) I know because I died to the final 3v3 card in the run where I took that screencap.
And I've found out that if you get the red wall card after Gathering Void -White- to its final phase, Kanpukugu shoots twice as many bullets, meaning the same bombgraze strategy gets your graze counter up twice as fast.

Why is my score higher than yours?

Because the screencap was taken before the end-of-stage bonuses were factored into the score. Here is my proper score. (http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad256/Malkyrian/score.png)

61 tries. I bet I will need 600 tries to capture Fantasy Heaven xddd

The SA normal 1cc is within reach now! I just battered Utsuho to just a quarter of her final spell's life before I succumbed. This is definitely the hardest game up to now though (haven't played UFO or TD)

How many lives can you milk out of that card net? I can't seen to increase too many lives.
Also while we're at it, apparently there's an ending and a staff roll now (2012/05/09 update), plus some more conversation after the Kanpukugu trio are defeated.
I've translated the additional convo for Reimu's extra and I'll probably go translate the rest of the other new stuff in the next few days.
If the endings were different for each shot type... gosh that'd take a while to play through.

How did you get away with getting that few points? Is it some sort of challenge run?
-
Good question. I'm not one out for points, I only play for survival. But now that you mention it, the score really is kinda horrible lol. xD
e: Hold on, I was screen-capping before the overall score was totaled up. The HiScore is the score I made during this run. Is it still kinda low? D:
-
I dunno, for a survival score I guess it's decent. I think I got some 1 billion on my best Survival run.
-
Seems about right. My first clear was 454m on Okuu with a final a bit over 707m final, one spare life.
-
Not specifically Touhou, but it enables it-FINALLY figured out what was wrong with my recording resolution. Turns out the problem was twofold-it was throwing it into 320x240 AND had a setting wrong >.>
But now I can do my recordings in no loss 640x480 @ 30 or 60 FPS, depending on what it is.
My first SA lunatic 1cc was 688 million with no lives to spare. Could have had 1 but Utsuho's 3rd nonspell becomes retarded.

Yes! 1cc'd UFO Hard after several days grind! Phew (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22487) :derp:
Ten Desires, here we go!
Eh, for SA Lunatic runs, most of your score comes from graze rather than lives, unlike with normal mode where an enormous chunk of your score is based on your remaining lives.
I suppose graze becomes so prevalent on Lunatic that sacrificing several extra lives for large graze boosts is alot more beneficial to your score.

^ I decided to give capturing Hourai Jewel a go based on that. Ignoring the boast that it took me two tries, I think I just finally realized the correct timing for directional changes. I didn't have to do any crazy dodges or nuthin'! /o/
Oh, and as of my MoF stage 4 perfect, I think I finally understand how to semi-consistently beat the post-Momizi spam. Yay!

Gave it a few more tries during some downtime. I don't know why, but for some reason the entire concept of "move when Keine moves" didn't stick into my head properly until the last 10 or so attempts. I feel really silly now.

Simultaneous achievement and rage with this one, but I'm putting it here for reasons I'll get to.
The rage? I lost an SA Lunatic 1lc on Hell's Tokamak. Yeah, let that sink in for a sec. Adrenaline wasn't even involved. So why is this here? Despite the failure, I consider this notable since it's the first time in (technically) two years that I've gotten past Satori on one life. That's one monkey off my back, at least.

Oh, that's true, I have yet to capture various Spellcards, sounds like a good start. Majority is limited to Stage 6 and Extra, but I think PCB Stage 3 and 4 and MoF Stage 4 had some left as well.

First attempt at a random EoSD Stage 6 Pacifist and I've perfectly timed out the first spell. I'm surprised that I never thought of this before.

I captured Open Universe and Master Spark Style Flashlight at 90fps. I guess it's worth mentioning. I would've had the survival spell as well but my keyboard killed me.

You are really good at perfectionism. What's next?
-
Good grief, you did it? Congratulations!

I would love to see you optimally handle the first stage up to the midboss on Youmu solo and then call IN the easiest Touhou. Seiga. While that probably is a joke it is very unsettling when the person certainly does not know the pain of Youmu scoring. And IN scoring is not that easy anyway when it comes to optimal play.
In any case, congratiulations. It greatly reduces the level of achievement to do it on stage practice (it is almost as stupid as my SFN siht, really), the main obstacle is to handle it with the pressure of a full run behind you. That's why timing out BoLaD should be done without savestates, for example.
Anyway, you seem to become consistent with relatively low effort. It would be cool to see you scorerun, you could probably become good swiftly. However, keep at other stuff if you enjoy other stuff, but do not call games easy unless you have actually played them to the fullest.
I have IN easy scoreruns that have taken much more effort than about every single first lunatic clear, for example. Still, everyone seems to think UFO 200M is some kind huge superplay. How unsettling.
-
Oh god, I can't even imagine scorerunning any more than your average PoC and grazespamming with no danger. Hell, I haven't even lunatic 1cced half the Touhous out there. I'll probably resort to it someday, but for now I'm still happy with my survivalist perspective, and considering that, IN is easiest touhou. Thanks for the thanks though >_>

Keeping this brief.
Most of the active members of this community have next to no experience with scorerunning and mainly play for survival. When you take this into account, it's completely logical that survival runs get more praise, because most people are most familiar with them and recognize the difficulty. It does not mean that they are harder to perform. In fact, difficulty shouldn't even be a factor, because these are people's hard-earned accomplishments, whatever they are. You fail to understand this, so you end up ridiculing others without noticing. It's like coming up to a bunch of wrestlers and showing off your impressive cooking skills; of course a pro wrestler would get more praise, and it doesn't mean that whatever you're doing is worse - because it's a completely different field.

I hope you mean esc+r.
-
I hope you mean esc+r.
Did up z up z before I learned r, and I don't want to change because the extra keystrokes give me a second to snap out of my habit before I actually do it. I've almost done it more than once while continue spamming in MoF/SA/UFO after an early clipdeath, or if I die during a 1cc attempt at the very beginning of a stage 4/5/6 where I'd always just reset if I were in stage practice.

Perfect Lunatic 6A, Hourai Elixir included? If I'm getting this right, then holy shit you're a mad man, Lunatic Eirin is horrible.
-
That's why timing out BoLaD should be done without savestates, for example.
There would at least be some consequence for failing it since you'll have to go through a (from a non-scoring Pov) really long and tedious level for every shot at it. It would certainly make the accomplishment worth more but the question is just whether it would be worth enough? You are not really proving anything by doing it beyond having great levels of patience.
Timing out last words such as SFN or UBS is fun but it wouldn't be that fun if you had to stare into a wall for 8 minutes for every one of your failures. Especially if those failures are you testing a different approach to see if it would work. Same thing for another spell in IN I spent quite a while timing out. Thanks to spell practice I was able to develop the correct approach and i got the timeout shortly after working out the approach but i had to spend a lot of failures to figure it out. I don't get why the accomplishment would've been more impressive if I had had to run through IN on every attempt.
Also. Good job to Seiga. I never perfected her beyond her final non-Hourai-elixir-card (not to say that i tried to :v) and she has some great pains that you need to beat so contratulations. Now if you can do Kaguya then I'll be truly impressed.

The difficulty in scoreruns comes from different aspects than that of survival runs. So, no: it's not ignoring some aspect but rather focusing on some aspect, which results in plenty of changes. My example was extreme but not wrong.

Total miracle that I won the first fight against Yumemi. Normally she absolutely destroys me no matter how many lives I have (I've no-missed to her twice before, and still no clear then) but this time, possibly due to Yumemi's strong bosses (Yumemi is the character I used. I originally used Reimu but switched to Yumemi.) she went down in only 3 minutes. Of course, luck definitely played a huge role. I pulled some absolutely ridiculous dodges this time, too, and I would've lost if i didn't afford one final hyper just before some ridiculous spam reached me.
2 Losses in total, both to Chiyuri.

Survival skills are a true subset of scoring skills. If you keep running into bullets, you're not going to be able to pull off any plans for scoring you might have. For really high scores, being able to survive everything in the game well is basically a bare minimum requirement.
The comparison would make sense if wrestling skills were essential to cooking well.

That's not my point, though. Scoring challenges your patience and precision above anything else. For example, one scoring route would be considered more difficult than another if it has a safespot that's hard to pull off consistently. A stage that is considered easy while playing for survival can become hard for scoring, and the other way around too.
You could argue that a scoring run of <Stage X> is almost always more impressive than any other run of <Stage X>, and that would be true, but that's not what I'm talking about. What I'm trying to say is that players that don't score won't immediately appreciate a run of, say, MoF Normal, because they don't know how much consistency is required, if at all. (although MoF is probably a bad example...)

It does not mean that they are harder to perform. In fact, difficulty shouldn't even be a factor, because these are people's hard-earned accomplishments, whatever they are.
Accomplishments are subjective and personal and completely unreleated to the discussion here. Achievements and goals are personal, not meant for gaining praise from some community. The best achievement is a personal achievement, something that's important to you and something that you like yourself. For example I'm almost the only person in this forum whose main achievements are from IN easy, but they are great to me since I liked them and put a lot of effort to them - they were achievements to ME, not the other people.
Therefore the community should not care about other's achievements that much. What the community may care about is the difficulty and skill level of the achievement, and how much patience it has required, since those things are unchanging. In terms of difficulty, however, you should not say shit unless you know the game to the fullest. I know several actually good scorerunners who will back me up when I say that IN Youmu is hard as fuck, since it's not only an opinion of some scrub shitplayer from fagland but a commonly known fact. I don't see the Finnish 14year-old otakus coming to me and telling which Touhou is the easiest, and neither should you if you don't know the games well enough. I might have worded myself a bit wrongly in the first post, but I hope this clarifies my opinion.
I'm still happy with my survivalist perspective, and considering that, IN is easiest touhou.
You could have said IN is the easiest Touhou to survive in, or IN is the easiest Touhou to clear, you know.

It would certainly make the accomplishment worth more but the question is just whether it would be worth enough? You are not really proving anything by doing it beyond having great levels of patience.
It has the pressure of a full run behind yourself, man. It's not just restartable, you know that there's another full run incoming if you have to do it. The pressure of a full run is huge, it ruined almost a perfect consistency with UFO to levels of zero for me, do not underestimate it.That's not my point, though. Scoring challenges your patience and precision above anything else.
So does survival, when you want to stay alive. You will have to endure the restarts through the levels and carefully dodge everything. Also, resource management is a huge thing in both cases. I have no idea where you are going at.
-
This discussion is pointless because I am pretty sure that scoring in any of the games is hard and when someone says IN is the easiest it is already implied that he has survival in mind.
-
Perfects are perfects. Especially for Eirin, since no one actually does 6a in a full run, but that's beside the point. Sure there's more pressure in a full run, but perfects in general show that you have some sort of consistency and are an accomplishment in their own right. Like Zengy said, what's the point of going through 20 minutes of mostly trivial shit for each attempt? It's much more efficient to use practice mode so you can learn the stuff that ISN'T trivial and have a much better chance to not screw up when it really matters.
-
The point of getting through trivial shit is exactly that - simulating the real situation. Consistency in this sense implies that you do have the skill do all of that in a single run, a perfect stage with all that pressure building up is much more impressive than something done with savestates or practice, no matter how you look at it.
-
How about an actual achievement? Well, at least I view it as one. :V Finally recaptured Vajra, plus I seem to be overcoming the despair I feel over this stage to some extent.
-
You could have said IN is the easiest Touhou to survive in, or IN is the easiest Touhou to clear, you know.
Which was hardly necessary since it was a statement made in context of a no-miss no bombs run. For someone to say that "IN is the easiest Touhou ever" upon finishing a flawless run of the final boss is the same as to say "IN is the easiest Touhou ever to survive in." except there's more words in the latter.
It has the pressure of a full run behind yourself, man. It's not just restartable, you know that there's another full run incoming if you have to do it. The pressure of a full run is huge, it ruined almost a perfect consistency with UFO to levels of zero for me, do not underestimate it.
I don't. I am fully aware of that as I have been playing quite a number of full runs myself and while I haven't been gunning for score on any of them outside of Mountain of Faith, I know that it's always harder to perform within a full run. To insist on doing things in the middle of a run does indeed add extra tension because you'll have to repeat a long stretch of gameplay should you fail but it does turn it into more of a contest of patience than it needs to.
What I want when I pursue a timeout challenge is to get a run where I survive against X-spell for X-seconds. I don't want to test how many times I feel like playing through a game where basically 90% of the gameplay is bullets moving in slow-motion. I'd rather just focus on that actually hard bit I want to pacify. That is simply far more efficient and I value efficiency far higher than some extra handicap. The argument of the added tension that a full run brings is much more valid with perfecting things because that's a thing you'd actually want to do in a run. Timing things out is not. Timing things out is more a sort of practice that can still be hard to do flawlessly.

Cleared GFW Extra at 90fps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OD01cJOyqFg
This argument is ridiculous. You can't speak of difficulty without stating an objective, and if the person doesn't, you should assume 'beating the game' to be the objective, since the game has a very clear. built-in distinction between success and failure. The difficulty in scoring depends entirely on the score you're trying to get, the methods you're using. 1cc difficulty is more or less constant, while scoring difficulty is completely variable. For that reason, I would say that even mentioning 'difficulty' in the first place implies that you're just trying to survive, considering the ambiguity of using the word when referring to a score run.
And I'm glad to see PoDD getting some attention here.

I'm mainly trying to unlock everything now because I'm tired of being THIS close but THIS far from clearing Lunatic with "good" characters.

YAY FINALLY CLEARED 10D EXTRA! And it was way too random. I was wondering what to do, and after ordering some earphones from Amazon because Apple earphones SUCK I randomly played 10D after not touching it for months, and chose Extra, clearing it in my first try in a long damn while.(The PCB Lunatic 1cc happened in exactly the same way, btw.)
I sense that such a thing won't happen with Nue, however... :colonveeplusalpha:

Grats on your 1cc, chum. And grats to everyone behind those SA 1ccs. Seeing those zillion-spare-lives clears almost makes me want to challenge the game again. Almost.

It was a 1DNB run of the whole stage, I don't really feel like doing it again. Meiling isn't that bad actually, just be good at random dodging and don't screw up the last nonspell.

I'm getting back to Touhou after a rather long break. Messing around with IN, I was able to capture quite a few spell cards for the first time, for example: Earth Light Ray, Omoikane's Device, Apollo 13 and Astronomical Entombing (all on Normal); Red Eyes Hypnosis and Tele-Mesmerism (on Hard); and... Invisible Full Moon on Lunatic, not to mention quite a few Hard and Lunatic nonspells and earlier spell cards.
My skill level before the break could be best summed up as "able to get a Normal mode 1cc, but struggles with most spell cards after Stage 3", so I'm rather happy with those captures. Now I should actually go for a Hard 1cc (or clear an Extra stage, which is my other goal; whichever comes first) instead of listing random spell cards here.

First mid-tier PoDD 1cc.

Grats on your 1cc, chum.
PoDD is actually one of the best games in the series IMO and I'll definitely try to clear it with some other characters, clearing it with Kana can't be easy so good job with that.
I got an SA lunatic 1cc today, wouldve had 3 lives but me and Utsuho happened to explode at exactly the same time so I ended with 2.
And I guess this is the wrong thread for this but I was trying to unlock UFO stage 5 for practice and I spent probably well over an hour trying to beat it with continues but I was simply unable to! I was also 0.01 seconds away from capturing RTG :]
Shou is powerful

Finished clearing PoFV Normal with all characters.
Now there's Easy and Extra... I think I'll get Easy out of the way first, since it just takes time more than anything, then Extra.

No death, no bomb Lunatic Ichirin boss battle (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22575)
I bombed and died during the stage though.
Ichirin actually gives me fewer problems than Alice does.
Also, from yesterday:
Magic Team Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22576)
where I failed a lot of stuff that I shouldn't have because I tried too hard to malice cannon everything
-
Oh hey, Ten Desires Lunatic clear despite being rusty enough to die to Yuyuko twice (that of course warranting a retry and a brief mental breakdown). It turns out that even though my dodging skills are quick to go into hibernation mode, my resource management is still kicking. :3
Also. Messing around in Stage 4 of same game and with pretty much no resistance beat the entire stage without resorting to the corner-camping strategy in the end stage portion. I thought that segment was nearly impossible simply because Jaimers used corner hugging in his video but it turns out the section isn't all that hard to dodge (not easy but just not as hard as I had expected).
I also tried timing out Kyouko's first non-spell without hiding outside the borders (which is a lie, i was forced to dash out there on one occasion) but I failed in the final 10 seconds. I think I'll be back for more though. Ten Desires isn't good for me when it comes to simple survival but for a little messing around (read: hazardous playing) it's not too bad especially since easy gameplay in general means that I can do all sorts of ridiculous things that no one in their right mind would try outside of practice mode since it's so fucking stupid. :V

I'm now really really consistent at midboss Eirin's nonspell in Stage 6.

Clearing all Normal/Extra modes from main Windows games, 3 Hard modes, and clearing PCB's both Extra and Phantasm with Ultra patch. I've been into Touhou for 8 months, so I think that's pretty good...

Agreed. I'm grateful that folks occasionally mention it in a positive light, as those testaments eventually convinced me that there had to be something to this no-focus, carpal-tunnel-inducing, archaic-looking-and-sounding game beyond the potential hipster cred.
Have fun going at it. Look forward to hearing about you kicking its ass, as it's neat to see someone else taking up the challenge.
Pseudo-edit: sniped!

Source of Rains and VoWG went from 1/18 to 2/19 in the same run, and I was exactly one wave away from capturing Kanako's opener. I'd be insane to try perfecting her at this point in time, but at least it doesn't seem impossible.
-
I still have never capture both Source of Rains and VoWG in the same run, and Kanako is all I haven't perfected from MoF.
Mostly because DAT OPENER
Also consistency at Reisen's 2nd nonspell, 3rd spell (as in timeout in 1 try) get.

Oh come on, you perfected Eirin of all things. Source of Rains is easy once you stop overreacting to the red/purple arrows and calmly find the gaps. VoWG is VoWG but far from impossible to capture once you've done it before. The opener is very possible as well.

Well, that was quick. 1DNB Kanako up to VoWG, including my first capture of said opener. That D was at Yamato Torus, of all things.
I don't think I can go back now. Why do I torture myself like this?

The opener is possible to read. A few more attempts and you should be able to ace it more than half of the time.
I just dodged like 80 seconds of VoWG without interruption. :G

I had a 2-Miss fight a while ago, misses were on VoWG's last waves. Seeing as I casually play the stage a lot you could say I've already started trying.
-
Got my first VoWG timeout (I always go for it if I die, for the practice) with 5 deaths, including about 50 seconds between deaths at one point. Now if I could only play this great before I miss my capture?
-
Fuck you, Shikieiki.
1:40 and I was with all my hits. 2:31 and I die completely.
Fuck. You.
I was also super-close to a first-round win vs Aya but of course I had to screw that up and follow with another loss. Disgusting.

About Fujiyama Volcano:
Try doing it at 90 FPS. I did it a few days back, it is ridiculously fun that way.
No focus timeout at 90 fps? Hadn't even tried 90 fps before, 50 attempts at it later and I've decided to just try to cap it normally first, which took about another 9 attempts. http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22371
It' a damn sight quicker than I expected and Youmu is too. Doubt I can do this but I'm sure as hell gunna keep trying. Maybe I'll see what the attempts counter maxes at, haha.
Started up IN for the first time in a week and a half-ish earlier, noticed it was on 90 fps, figured "bugger it, I'll take another shot at Fujiyama Volcano" and it took about 20 tries. I'm now set to fail consistently until I take another long break v_v
Had a couple pretty lucky dodges in there too.
So, here's my 90 fps no focus timeout of Fujiyama Volcano with Youmu & Yuyu:

I don't know if should be happy or angry.
Today I was playing some StB ultra, decided to play a bit against Ran after lots of fails at EX-4 on ultra, after quickly giving up on 8-7, I tried 8-5, and I suddenly captured in on ultra after doing some ridiculous dodging.
Happy about it, I save my replay, and I go check it to see if there's any dodges worth going to the lucky dodges thread, but then I discover that the replay has desynced.
I lost my ultra 8-5 replay whyyyyyy :qq:
-
Finally captured Lunatic Greatest Treasure for a second time. My first capture of it was the first time I ever even tried it on lunatic and it was full of absolute BS/lucky dodges so it didn't really count in my mind. It took forty attempts to capture it again after all : /.
Now if only I can get Radiant Treasure gun and Vajra of Perfect Bullshit under my belt....

I cleared PoDD with Yumemi today, but it didn't feel like that much of an achievement, so I think I will try again with a less broken character

Anyway, have now annotated my MB Normal perfect run (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=595JsLd0Ee4), which only took me three days to finish. I am so not used to this. :(
Also a couple of miscellaneous timeouts: Lost Soul's Village (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-1pXWjuSmc), Sea and Sky Turbulence (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqk-4NnL9oo) (both on Lunatic).

It's not as bad as the ultra disease :V
Speaking of ultra, I have cleared one spell I initially though was almost impossible.

Replay: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22596 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22596)
This one was truly ridiculous, the bullets are way too fast and dense to read normally, but I knew that this spell was 100% static, so I knew it was possible, though I thought that the memorization was going to be way too heavy, today I realized it wasn't that bad so I started to make a path for it, the 3rd shot was specially troubling, because finding a path for that one was really hard, the 4th and 5th one also looked hard, but once I got a path down for them, they weren't too bad, but then there was the last shot, which I totally didn't knew how to do, the wall was really dense and covered in slower bullets, so after about 15 tries at it, I saved a replay and examined it to find a path, which worked excellently. I got my clear of it but when I tried to save the replay, the game crashed, I was really mad, but after another 250~ shots at it, I got a replay as proof that I cleared this crazy scene.
77/85 scenes cleared in StB ultra, 80 looks like a really possible goal.
Also congrats on the MB perfect, perfecting a game just calls for too much consistency at things.
-
I got my clear of it but when I tried to save the replay, the game crashed,
Oh man, do I ever understand your pain with this.
On a more congratulatory note, that's absolutely bonkers. Words fail to describe how ridiculously impressive that is. You are literally doing the impossible man.
Tell me, what haven't you cleared under ultra? I'm assuming Guilty Or not Guilty would be the major roadblock in this particular challenge..
Mind you, if you can do BoWaP. Do not settle for this 80! GO FOR ALL!
Has anyone ever beaten StB with the Ultra patch on fully before?

Thanks! The scenes I haven't cleared are 8-7, 9-1, 9-2, 9-6, 10-3, 10-6, EX-1 and EX-7.
Between these, all the ones of level 9 and 8 that i haven't cleared are almost completely luck based, I have gotten to the last photo of 9-6 a few times.
10-3 is completely static based on aya's movement, though it is incredibily bullshit.
10-6 is even worse, it's wall-land. But the bullet pattern is static so in theory it should be possible to make a path through it.
EX-1 I have gotten to the 4th or 5th photo, don't quite remember, but with enough luck I should be able to clear it.
EX-7 I have no excuse this one is just because I am too dumb to play it correctly. I have been awfully close to capturing in. The hardest part of it is dodging the dumb purple bubbles.
I don't think I can go for ALL, particularly because of 10-3 and 10-6, but the others seem doable with enough luck.
And I don't think someone has done a StB ultra ALL clear with 60fps, everyone either starts playing with tools or gives up when they reach around 7-1 :V
EDIT: I guess cross out 9-2 out of that list, I just got my luck to cooperate and got a capture of it :D

Mystic Square Hard 1CC.
Really annoyed at the fact that PC98 lacks replays, because holy crap, the battle against Shinki. I panicbomb on the first phase, find myself with a stock of 3/0...and proceed to get through half the fight from there without getting hit. Capturing every phase up until the Devil's Recitation phase, including the cheeto lasers. With some of the most ridiculous "how is this even happening" dodging I've ever done.
-
The first extra stage has fallen. Fujiwara no Mokou has been defeated. Huzzah.
I am not certain which one I should do next. I think I'll go with Ran, although I'm also thinking of Suwako.

Finally defeated this motherfucker on ultra, feels good.
This thing took 2142 shots, that's the most shots I've ever had in the photo games. I got really lucky in the 3rd phase because the bullets like lined up perfectly for me to go up and take a photo close, allowing me to survive enough time to not get completely destroyed by the 4th phase and clear this monster.

Holy crap, congrats. IIRC that isn't even 30% of how much shots Malkyrian took to clear it 90fps, I seriously wonder which one is harder.
90fps ultra now

7741 * 0.3 = 2322.3
Indeed it isn't, but then I had been using that scene to actually get good, so for a lot of those I wasn't nearly ready to clear it.
Still, that is really impressive. Serious congrats on that one.

Didn't the last few you did look just as impossible? I'd say keep trying unless you're adamant about quitting.

This. If I remember right, I called 90FPS EX-1 impossible, and then got it the next day. Practice, find new routes that work.
Also, 10-6 is pseudo-static. If you follow exactly the same path, the pattern will be exactly the same. On my clear, I wasn't dodging, I was memorizing. Of course, it does have to be exact, and it's very clip-happy...

My, Fairy Wars C1 is rather BS.

I mean look at that shot count that's RIDICULOUSLY low :V
10-6 I know that it's sort of static, I just know that finding a path through it will be a HUUUUUUGE PAIN, at least 15 times worse than what BoWaP was :(
Same with 10-3, I could REALLY use some help with these two.
And 9-1 and EX-1 is just keep trying until I get some mass luck to clear them.

Nice, you have 12-6!
There's a few really easy ones I don't see in that clear list, and some moderately easy ones too.
7-5 is easy if you stay diagonal from Shou.
8-5 isn't too bad, it's pretty much just streaming with timed shots.
Satori's scene with only 4 pictures is also pretty easy-just snap them immediately. 9-7 is easy to spam tries on and persistance is the way to go there.
Byakuren has 1 scene with lasers (12-5 I think) that it really easy if you time the photos to clear the red arrows.

Seriously, go for all. You are so insanely close and pulling it off would be one of the greatest things I've seen ever done in Touhou.
I urge you too, but I really wouldn't blame you if 10-6 and EX-1 look impossible to you. They are serious bullet clusterfucks but imagine if you actually did what most people deemed pretty much laughably impossible at first glance.
-
I'm pretty sure EX-1 is impossible unless you pull off perfect squeezes. Without god-like control it's all luck.

I TAS'ed it and managed a clear so it's possible in theory.
Theory being the key word here, my theory doesn't account for pesky human limits.
-
I suppose these could go here being unoffical and all but still Touhou-related.
1: Played around a bit with Magical Singular Day and I managed to NDNB Aya on Moderate mode. She's a fun boss. I don't think I'll be playing this game much more though. The bosses are really good fun, stages not bad either though can get a bit too 'lol memorize or be screwed'-ish but for some reason the controls feel really weird for some reason. Almost like there's input lag even though I'm running the vsync patch. I dunno what it is that is throwing me off but it means that I just randomly die here and there which is annoying me.
2: Played some more Koumajou Densetsu II. Really fucking great game. I am practicing the stages and the bosses and as of now I've only managed the easier parts but they were nevertheless parts that gave me trouble the first time through. I've gotten a no-damage no-subweapon run of Stage 1 which was really easy to do once you know how to control the game. I can't believe this boss caused me to give up on the game back when i first tried it. ::) Then I also managed to get a no-damage run of Chen's stage and Chen herself (the latter took quite a while before I understood how to deal with). Now I've got to get both together.
On a side note: When you are flying around, I keep accidentally triggering the drop kick. Happens sometimes when I am flying around, suddenly want to stop flying and hit X but forget that in the process of moving down. I lot a bunch of no-damage attempts to that.

1000 total tries on Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana, 7 captures. I'm not sure if this should go here or the rage thread lol. I'm trying to capture it with all 12 shottypes, and this has already taken more than double the tries Unseasonable Butterfly Storm took (431 total tries for all 12). Ghost team, Solo Reimu, Solo Yukari, Solo Sakuya, and Solo Yuyuko are left.
Like usual, Solo Remilia took the least tries (4). I swear she's the best boss-killing character in the game, but nobody believes me - although it's not really a fair comparison because I'm getting progressively better over time and Solo Remilia was one of the later shottypes I tried with. And I predict like usual, Sakuya will take the most tries, although Reimu is another contender. But I think I've shed my self-given title of "worst in the world at Resurrection Butterfly" which I talked about a bit back. I'm still pretty bad, but I least I survive a single wave of SFN like 40% of the time now instead of 5% lol
Oh and another pseudo-accomplishment, I successfully safespotted Eternal Meek in a full run for the first time (Hard ReimuB). I still lost on Scarlet Meister though.

Oh nice, I like to see people StB ultra, almost nobody plays this because it looks ridiculous. Congrats on doing 4-8, 7-3, and 8-5 these are ridiculously hard compared to other ones if you ask me, specially 4-8, that one is my most hated scene in StB ultra, it's just retarded for a level 4 scene :V
For now I say try do these:
6-2, do it by dodging at the top of the screen, that's what makes it possible, though it makes it a lot harder to do.
7-1, the last phase you can do it by dodging diagonally to Sakuya, you just have to memorize where the safespots are according to Sakuya's position
7-7 is easy once you realize all the waves have a static pattern, just learn a way to dodge through them, the hard waves are the second and the 4th ones, the other ones aren't too bad
8-6, 8-8, 9-7 10-1 are all ridiculously easy (compared to the other scenes :V ) and they are basically the same than the original ones but with more bullets.
Also:

This spell was far easier than what I expected it to be, though it was one of the most annoying spells in the game is you ask me.
It was basically spinning around Komachi with some very good timing, you also needed to stay near Komachi so you didn't get killed by the dumb grey coins, I'm glad it's captured so I never have to deal with it again :V

82/85 I'm actually going to go for an ALL clear now, though 10-6 is going to be the big monster in this one (any advice will be great help, since I have no path at all for this one, the most shots i've gotten is 2 :V ), EX-1 will be a royal pain in the ass (luck) , and 9-1 will still be a annoying hard piece of luckshit :V

HOLY SHIT I JUST CAPTURED "FULL STARBOARD ON A BURNING SHIP".
AKA Marine Benefit stage 3 Lunatic, second boss card.
Anyone who has attempted this card knows why this is such a huge deal.
-
HOLY SHIT I JUST CAPTURED "FULL STARBOARD ON A BURNING SHIP".
video now
Seriously, proof on youtube that anyone has captured this thing seems nonexistent. Judging from the lack of a video in your post, I'm guessing you weren't recording. :/
-
Are you guys serious? Stage 3 boss, second spell? I've done it (at 1 power). It's completely static. I don't see what the big deal is.

Static doesn't necessarily mean easy to pull off, at least for me. If it's so easy for you, mind making a video? <_<
-
We have detected that your video might be shaky. Would you like us to fix that?
Yes - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpdg0NdRjS0&feature=youtu.be
That's as fast as it will go while recording.
-
...Wow, do I feel like an idiot.
I never actually moved down at the 30 second mark in that video. Which means I had to squeeze between the two walls, while they were moving. That's why I thought the attack was impossible, and that's why I thought it was such an amazing feat, Reimu hitbox or no.
Thanks for showing me that. I'm going to go cry in a corner now. :blush:

1DNB Mountain of Faith Normal with ReimuB :)
I also arrive at this card with ReimuC, but ReimuC deals almost no damage, so I lose a lot of lives in the run and I died at no resources :(
I would rather 1cc with Marisa A then ReimuC :V
EDIT: IDNB Mountain of Faith Easy once too!
I also captured Kanako's third and fourth card on Easy.
Looks like I'm in good shape :)

That is great man. I thought a lot of these were completely impossible. (Not helped by the fact that I wanted to play DS Ultra more so I kinda did some hastily concluded reasoning). You should make a video of these and if you can't be bothered/can't do it then send me the replays and I'll record them for you. There needs to be a vid of a StB Ultra ALL.
-
Some things looked beyond ridiculous in ^'s videos so I would also support this.

Quickly, gauge the achievement of getting to Stage 3 on GFW's Lunatic mode.
Because that was unexpected.

If you have little knowledge of the stage layouts then it's not bad at all. If you have played the Route quite a lot then it's not as impressive since a lot of it is memorization that becomes pretty easy once it's learned. In any case, if it's your first time getting there then it's a noteworthy achievement right?

Thanks, I would really like a video of someone playing StB ultra without tools on youtube, but my computer is bad enough that it can't even run SA at 60fps :( But I guess I'd have to play again a lot of the scenes because I didn't save a replay for most. But I don't think I'd be very bad, considering I've done them before and I already cleared the super hard stuff. But yeah I first need to clear the remaining 3 scenes to have an ALL clear first :P I'm aiming for 9-1 currently, because it's the less retarded scene from the 3 left :V
-
Okay. When you've redone the scenes and finished your project, just PM me, or post it here, and I'll get them recorded for you.
In case the replays you are missing are of some of the early scenes, then I have replays of my own clears for Scene 1-1 all the way to Scene 5-7. I don't know what happened to the rest of them. So if there are any of those scenes that you don't have a replay of, we can always just use mine if you don't mind that not all of the scenes will be played by you. Would save you some time. Just thought you should have the offer. I'm fine with whatever you choose.

General Headquarters Crisis ultra capture!
around 100 tries, I really hate microtapping memotrash.

(sorry, it's just... I get like 11D / 26B / 11 C and still fail it)
Maybe you don't whore the cherry borders? On my first clear, I just went for a strategy of bomb everything that isn't static, if out of bombs: dodge the best you can until you get bombs again. Whenever you get a cherry border, make sure to break it before it goes away. You will automatically cancel all bullets and they'll be converted into more cherry power for you.
Furthermore, whenever you can get no-focus shots in without being in danger, do it. It raises your cherry faster.
O____o I... I think I just cleared a Touhou on lunatic.
I thought you already had cleared this one. Oh well... so when are you gonna start scoring in it? congratulations. :)

Well, thanks to that demonstration, I went and timed it out. Of course that spot in the beginning is not the only tight spot...

Comments on quality?

The card has less reason to exist than Kogasa's midboss card in UFO, and that's saying something.
-
edit: All Ultra spells captured through Stage 3. I think 111/222 is a good target for me right now.
Captured everything through Reimu's Last Spell on normal, leaving only Blink on hard and lunatic to go for 4A. Also got Asteroid Belt ultra in ~7 tries that I didn't go for the safespot and Galaxy in a Pot in 2 tries.
-
Go for 222/222! :]
-
Go for 222/222! :]
I've got the first 89 so far, but IIRC Hourai Jewel and Astronomical Entombing are impossible.
edit: First 100 spells in the game captured! That's everything from Stages 1-4(both stage 4s) on all difficulties...never again on Double Spark.
-
Some last words and IS should also be impassable, Hourai Doll was insane but you probably could form a route.
Apollo 13 was too stupid for me to try it, Entombing was inhuman, Hourai Jewel was bullsiht, but you could luck it if you were lucky enough. Also Kaguya's third last spell was a siht.
Stop going for a 222 and pick some cool ones you would like. Clear it or clear the extra. Timeout SFN. But FFS stop going for 222, that is just plain idiotic, since it is not possible. And IN ultra has a lot of boring and dull stuff as well, just skip them.
You are pretty fast, by the way. I remember stage 4A having a lot of RNGsiht and 4B having a lot of hard reading. Oh and Marisa's 2nd midboss card took me a long time to figure. Or maybe we have a different version, but I doubt it. You can see mine from youtube if this sounds weird for you.Congratulations!

(sorry, it's just... I get like 11D / 26B / 11 C and still fail it)
11D 26B sounds like bad, bad resource management. You should work on figuring a stable route for the stages so that you could just bomb some of the harder boss attacks.
My 1-capture clear was a joke run I did to entertain myself and possibly some other people too. I have cleared the game on lunatic several times by now, and it is not really a problem for me to clear it anymore, so I can do silly stuff like this. And I do have a lot of bad mistakes and awful gameplay here, but I know the shot and the game, so I can plan some cherry pretty well - especially on Yuyuko who gives you a border on everything.
But do not be worried. - I have a lot of hours of PCB gameplay behind me. - When you have played as much, you probably are on my level, if not well beyond it. - I am pretty slow learner, everything takes hundreds of hours.So when are you gonna start scoring in it?
You can see me do a lot of PCB scoring lately if you visit the uploader, or the PCB scoreboard on these forums.
Lunatic would need forming a completely new route and practicing several supergrazing tricks and bomb timings. And stage 4. I know who I would ask for help already, and I will probably eventually start scoring in it. However, I am currently both scoring against Erppo on normal and training for STGT, I really do not have the time to learn all the new stuff.
But the main reason is that I am scared to play anything high-target high-risk and high-stress on lunatic this soon after the UFO failure. I do not want to put several hundreds of hours into a game and gain nothing but shame, stress and disappointment.... Not yet.
-
But FFS stop going for 222, that is just plain idiotic, since it is not possible.
It's as possible a StB ultra 85/85 clear if you ask me, you either get some massive luck, or micro memorize everything.
AFAIK Hourai Jewel is almost 100% static, there should be a way to do it, like ultra EX-4 in StB
Astronomical Entombing, Apollo 13, and a lot of other spells are luck based, and doable with enough luck, like ultra 9-6 in StB.

I did ultra normal a while ago, tried ultra extra and failed it to Hourai Doll I think and haven't tried since, SFN sucks. I wasn't going for 222, I was going for as many as I could possibly get. Whatever I can't get at 60 FPS I plan on trying to TAS though.

We have the same version. Nothing in 4A took more than 10 tries, nothing in 4B took more than 10 tries other than Asteroid Belt because I tried to safespot it like 30 times before dodging it in 7. Event Horizon I started in the center then moved down, completely evading the hard part of the first wave.

General Headquarters Crisis
It's probably technically possible, but I'm not going to be the one to get it.
Went through Stage 5 ultra and captured everything except the normal through lunatic versions of her 3rd card. I'm not good enough at dodging to get through all those rings. To make up for it I captured ExKeine's spellcards in 2, 3 and 3 tries.
-
Koumajou Densetsu II: Managed a no-damage run of Youmu on Hard. Should be added that no sub-weapons was used but that would probably only be making things harder on myself anyway since I don't really like many of the subweapons at that point except for the stop watch.
-
I do know nothing of StB ultra, but do not throw wild assumptions at me if you want to speak about a patch I actually know about.
Ultra Hourai Jewel forms walls. Walls you can pass, but are unreadable. - The luck you would need is just stupid, and probably equal to a lottery victory, if not less. And then you have the Normal mode version which is an impassable wall, IIRC.
Apollo 13 is of the more doable ones. It just was so stupid I skipped it.
Try to luck out a card you cannot read at all, which Entombing would be. Maybe awesome cheese and Malice cannon could do it, but even that sounds unlikable to happen.
Reisen's penultimate was really stupid, but you could do it.
Hourai Doll was seriously stupid. It is not about luck, but reading and control beyond measure.
You can capture IS when it is a single pattern? Good, now go do a triple version. Some parts are only double to ease your go.
Ex-Keine's LW fucked me from behind, literally.
Kaguya's LW forms 100-percent walls every now and then and you will need to dodge two doubled patterns in a rapid circling movement. I tried it a bit and it was well beyond my skill.
Kaguya's third last spell is not readable but you probably could luck this one with only 1k or so shots at it - since it only takes so little time.
Youmu's LW gave me hell, but you could read it.
Remilia's LW was impossible.
SFN was the best thing the patch had. - It requires a timeout, but it is very awesome and changing in the pattern as it goes on.
Alice's could be memo, but it sure was siht.
Yukari's was weird, but I remember T talking about the last phase so I think one could do it if they were a pathfinder of his level.
Wait GHQ Crisis is the fun one that changed completely? I think I have a timeout lying sodwhere or then I am messing the Night of Imperishable HORRIBLERAPE with this. Take a screen of it, I will see if I can help.
Also do not TAS, that is awful. You could just render yourself immune and sit still, you know?
And why would you find SFN awful?
-
SFN was the best thing the patch had. - It requires a timeout, but it is very awesome and changing in the pattern as it goes on.
I dislike Yuyuko's last word to begin with honestly.
I know it's pretty much your favorite spell ever, but you don't need to impress your opinions on everyone else.
Also tried 4A (stage) and perfected both stage parts and found out I could do 3 of Reimu's nonspells. Meaning if I have a day to sink I cold probably perfect ultra 4A lunatic. However I have other things I'd rather be doing with that time, but at least I know it's (almost) possible.
Reisen's penultimate was really stupid, but you could do it.
Yeah no. I've used solo Yukari for everything so far except First Pyramid, Ephemerality 137 and Reisen's first on hard/lunatic, which I used Marisa, Marisa and Remilia for, respectively. I literally cannot read the waves fast enough to get back to the center every time. I got through the second wave once, but the leftover bullets killed me. and this is normal mode-not even hard or lunatic.
-
Which nonspell are you afraid of? They were all rather simple, to be honest. The second midboss one required some dodging, but that's all. What really made me was the fact that I have 1/30 on the most of the spells - I do not want to fail to them every single time since the first one is RNG, second is okay, third is a pattern, fourth is a siht, fifth is easy and the final one is patterned misdirection.
-
Maybe you don't whore the cherry borders? On my first clear, I just went for a strategy of bomb everything that isn't static, if out of bombs: dodge the best you can until you get bombs again.

That is how I always play ._.
Unless, of course, I can't graze a bunch or have max Cherry anyway or something, in which case the 10,000 Cherry Max would be the best.
...
Drr.... maybe I should play less for scoring?
But do not be worried. - I have a lot of hours of PCB gameplay behind me. - When you have played as much, you probably are on my level, if not well beyond it. - I am pretty slow learner, everything takes hundreds of hours.You can see me do a lot of PCB scoring lately if you visit the uploader, or the PCB scoreboard on these forums.
I've put up over 100 hours into PCB. :I
-
Which nonspell are you afraid of? They were all rather simple, to be honest. The second midboss one required some dodging, but that's all.
The second midboss one.
I'm very bad at it normally-actually, I'm bad at all of Reimu's nonspells normally.
Let me put it this way-in my Magic Team lunatic 1cc I lost more resources to Reimu's second midboss nonspell than the entirety of Kaguya.
-
Even my secondary computer I do not use that much has almost 200h nowadays, so do not worry.
Also, you should not score in games you cannot clear. - You will need a base for the route before you start improving it.
However, when going all-out scoring in PCB, border breaks should be very intricate and carefully planned. You will need some in order to do grazing portions that follow one another in a rapid succession, but mainly you should just get the border bonus and the extra cherrymax.
IHaveNoName, the second midboss non sure is dodging, but you could use some of that luck here. Also you will gain consistency at reading it after a while. You also should try if different positioning eases the dodging, since being under Reimu might not be a very good idea in the every case.
-
Drr.... maybe I should play less for scoring?
I still think you are doing things wrong. :V Well, what I mean is that your resource management could probably be quite a bit better. Not meaning to brag but using the strategy i explained above, I got a 1cc of this game as I was unlocking stages for practice. With four lives left. Of course I knew about a lot of the stage layouts from Hard but still. PCB allows you to do this if you don't care about how ugly your performance gets.
So really. You should only use that resource-managing strategy if you just want to clear it. I understand that you are actually trying to score a bit so I'd recommend that you focus on improving your game instead of just pushing for a quick clear. It will turn out cooler and more rewarding in the end that way.

I know that, and I know they're simple attacks, but it doesn't mean I can't be bad at them.
Hourai Doll was seriously stupid. It is not about luck, but reading and control beyond measure.
Ihakasa's Moon Curse was stupid, Hourai Doll was pretty fun messing around with stuff. Got it to 56 seconds left on my best try.
Wait GHQ Crisis is the fun one that changed completely? I think I have a timeout lying sodwhere or then I am messing the Night of Imperishable HORRIBLERAPE with this. Take a screen of it, I will see if I can help.
GHQ Crisis is Keine's card with all the red arrows. I captured it, but was using it as an example of a memorization card.
Also do not TAS, that is awful. You could just render yourself immune and sit still, you know?
Why is TASing awful? I find it fun to see how far I can push a game-in this case, by dodging the nigh-impossible. I could make myself immune, but where's the fun-or the challenge-in that?
And why would you find SFN awful?
I don't find it that fun. It's a fine card, well designed, but it's not the kind of card I like facing (split second diagonal reading to get to a safe area then dodge out of the bubbles way)
Anyway, now that I'm not responding to stuff played some more of the extra cards, captured Mokou's 2nd through 6th cards pretty quickly. Her first is BS, I could probably get her last 3 and maybe Everlasting Phoenix Tail-depends on how much worse it got.
-
Also, you should not score in games you cannot clear. - You will need a base for the route before you start improving it.
I disagree. If you're good enough at the early stages when going for a 1cc, then you can try to improve your score in those stages, in ways that don't cost you lives or bombs. (In the games where you can increase the point item value, doing this will also help your score in the later stages.)
-
Yay Stage 10 unlocked in ultra StB.
I think that's a good place to stop, seeing as every other scene either requires a ton of luck or is beyond me to dodge.
Note that I only started this score.dat today :D

Just came back from a 1 week cruise around Norway (it was fun!), during which I had brought my laptop and a usb keyboard to play touhou with!
And boy did I play touhou... :D
Managed to...
... 1cc Touhou 13 Hard (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22669)! That's all the main windows games now 1cc'd on Hard! I can feel confident now with moving on to Lunatic (and I am, very much! :3 )
... 1cc Touhou 8 Lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22670)! Perhaps the tensest last few seconds of a 1cc I've ever had, I love this game though so I'm glad it's my 2nd lunatic 1cc!
... 1cc Touhou 10 Lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22671)! Virtue of the Wind God... I'm just glad I've 1cc'd the game, at least that horror is behind me :V
... 1cc Touhou 6 Lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22672)! I can't believe I did so well! I'm very happy with the run, and this game is very fun! I think the whole no-hitbox thing makes it all the more interesting :derp:
... and that's it!
I also went around the mountains and glaciers of Norway and saw some amazing and stunnnning views etc. so I wasn't a complete shut-in :blush:
Now I'm back, I think I'm going to start working on starting a Let's Play series which I'd been planning for months. Watching guys like RobinLSL, Gamercal101 and Esupanitix really inspired and motivated me, I just need to help unpack my suitcases and things first and then we'll see what I can do :)
-
Congrats on the clears! You should be able to clear PCB no sweat, so go for that if you're not already.

Yeah, and UFO might not even be that daunting. At least not after sketching out a route. Really blazing through these games, here.

I'm pretty confident that this can be done, now that I've gotten this far. A healthy dose of luck, patience and more episodes of QI and I should be able to do this in maybe another 4000 attempts or so.

Hey let's attempt to time out Virtue of Wind God, let's see just how far I can make it.
*presses X button within the first 10 seconds purely by accident*
...Well that sucked, can't even remember the last time that happened. Let's just pretend that didn't happen and move on...

My first death comes at the 56 second mark. I can't even believe I made it that far in.

Finished PCB Extra with 7 lives (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22701), meaning no deaths and 800+ point items collected. Also unexpectedly reached 1 billion (my best score before this was 875 million). I'm very close to perfecting Ran now... A question: does anyone think less of the accomplishment if the boss and midboss are perfected but the stage portion isn't? I prefer to use up my bombs for score here.
Also I somehow managed to fill a UFO during midboss Ichirin.

"please, self, don't try capturing Illusionary Dominance"; 20 seconds later: (captures Illusionary Dominance)) and still managed to stupidly lose a few lives. But still, I never meant this as a serious run, just an attempt to see how far can playing it safe get me, so I'm very happy with the unexpected result. Kanako's eponymous spell card was incredibly stressful when I realized that I might actually have a chance to beat the game.
Also, I think I hurt my back during my celebratory gestures. Ouch.

First Touhou Normal 1cc :D It's quite derpy at Stage 6 though.

I'd like to thank Zil for introducing the "Bombspam Miko" technique found here (http://"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB99lrfLRwE")
Next time, I'll try to do a more "legit" 1cc with Sanae/Marisa.
-
Ha ha ha, okay, THAT is funny. I just perfected Eirin...twice in a row. Who knows if I'll get Hourai Elixir this time, but that is something I can be proud of no matter where the dice falls.
btw, said dice fell at zero seconds. orz
-
Oh hey, let's play some PoDD Normal with a character I haven't used before, because I'm bored!
*picks Mima*
*~25 minutes later*

Only 2 deaths, and both were to Yumemi.

For best results, turn off the in-game music and listen to these tracks at these points:
Stage portion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruxws6DE4io&feature=relmfu
Eirin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3gEKpGD4D4
Hourai Elixir: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUP-hgUdF3k

Oh hey, I'm not dead yet! To rank among all the bros who have timed out Hourai Jewel Lunatic, I did this (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22708). Took me like only 5 tries which is quite surprising. Well, after that color tip, not so much anymore. Haha.
-
It's been a good while since I last uploaded a Youtube video that was not a boring no-shooting normal clear with horrible deaths everywhere around the place. But, yeah, I did get to finally continuing my IN ultra shenanigans since some people here were having a struggle with it. Instead of doing some Last Words which people have asked for I uploaded some old Extra spell cards.
Mokou's first was pretty cool. Nothing else is worth watching, to be honest. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tK3HTV113Y)

Full Starboard on a Burning Ship timeout! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZP_og5M05g)
Thanks to Zil's demonstration earlier, I only had to make one ridiculously impossible squeeze dodge instead of two, so thanks for that Zil!
And as if that wasn't enough, that very same run contained a timeout of Bottomless Anzan Cannon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-icwv4JN6wg).
-
I just perfected Lunatic Keine (replay (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=22718)). Unfortunately it was on a run where I bombed during the stage portion and decided to play it out for practice, so it's not yet a perfect stage 3 like I was hoping for...

Congrats! Stage portion is mostly streaming anyway, if you aren't already aware, so no doubt the perfect run will come sometime.
-
I did perfect timeouts of the remaining things in UFO stage 5, which were Shou's 1st and 3rd nonspell. I also did the doom fairy spam section after Nazrin, but that was on 15fps. I don't think it's possible to do on 60fps.
Now to do the perfect stage 5... I got to Vajra earlier today though, bleh.
-
Got burned out while perfecting Kanako (three consecutive runs ending at VoWG <_<) so did a fun run of Byakuren and captured her first card.
Still haven't captured lunatic Static Butterfly though, I have no idea why. <_<

Congratz! Hm, so you handled that 13s (countdown timer) part that way, moving down instead of up. Either way seems quite tight imo.

I'm just back after getting my first Hard 1cc in any Touhou game! Predictably, it's Imperishable Night:
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22722
Admittedly it consists mostly of mistakes. I didn't practice enough beforehand and almost restarted after the fight with Marisa, which I know so well and yet inexplicably failed most of her attacks, including Double Spark and Shoot the Moon... Well, I should have practiced more.
-
IN Extra stage clear.
The whole run was quite awful, with more resource management than actual dodging (5 spells captured, tons of bombs).
Spell Practice really does help a lot, but I still hate Fujiyama Volcano.
-
I decided to give TD Hard a try as Reimu out of nowhere and I made it to Tojiko! :toot:
no replay because continues were used, but having caught Miko's second spell and fourth nonspell makes me feel good about myself :V
almost caught Miko's final spell too
-
It took the better part of a month to pull it off but I finished 1cc-ing PoFV on Normal from Reimu to Yuuka, and cleared Extra with Komachi and Shiki. I think I understand better how the game (and, by extension, the AI) works now, but those Stage Final fights really left a bad taste in my mouth. Bleh.
-
Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=22746)
I just NoFocus captured Red Magic on Normal with MarisaA
-
So, I just got my first ever clear of LLS Extra.
With FOUR LIVES TO SPARE.
I'm a little angry at my screencap button for, you know, not working...but right now I'm in too much of a good mood to let it really get to me.
-
Nue keeps buttfucking me in TD. Kind of literally in-game.
-
90 fps no focus timeout of Scarlet Destiny (Spell 222) in IN with Youmu & Yuyu. Very simple method, took ages for me to get it consistent for the whole spell though. Had an extremely annoying failure at 11 seconds but a bit later got it done.

I guess it counts as an accomplishment, for me :P
-
Finished with 2, now on to 3.
Will come back to it for 1cc after I've cleared every game.

I'm feeling warm and fuzzy. No problem, I'm glad to help.

Why is Fairy Wars B1 so inordinately harder than the rest of the game?
Well, at least it's over :toot:

Some of you may remember me dying 7 times in 2 and a half minutes on the final boss of B1.
Well I just cleared GFW hard route B2 with 6 lives to spare-and a silver medal of 3 Fairies!
-
It's times like these when I suddenly get the inspiration to play GFW, only to get reminded of the reasons I don't play it. No I don't enjoy memoshit. :(

I memorized absolutely nothing in B2 and cleared pretty much blind :V
The only thing you have to memorize is the first stage part so you get a solid start.
edit: B1 hard 1cc! that's every route on hard mode cleared!
Also NEW THREAD TIME (please someone who hasn't made one of these threads make it, unless you have an amusing idea for a title in which case make it anyway)

Le fuck. Was hoping to steal the title.
