Touhou Accomplishments XVI - Not Faily Wars

[Zil]

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.

Thanks.

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.

[PMW]

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:

I've been binging on UFO since summer vacation started.

Perfect Stage 2 normal... well, that's not much of an achievement.
Stage 3? Nope. Four? Getting closer.

Perfect Stage 5 normal! Fuck yeah!

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.

[Seppo Hovi]

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.

You are fucking joking.

Holy shit man, you are incredible. I had trouble with 10-4 on Ultra with slowdown and savestates.

UPDATE: Stage 4 of StB is bizarrely piss easy at 90FPS. ONTO STAGE 5!

[xForeverFanaticx]

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

[Esper]

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:

This was how I coped with Double Spoiler at 90FPS and how I'm currently coping with Shoot The Bullet.

Only instead of putting on my own music, I put on Mock The Week instead.

[Esper]

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.

Replay here

You're having trouble with Stage 6? Just bomb everything and you won't lose more than a life (after factoring in new life pieces).

So I just captured lunatic Zombie Fairy.
That was easy?

http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=21721
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.

[MMX]

Ten Desires Hard no bombs 1CC with Sanae



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:

[Esper]

Mountain of Faith ReimuB Lunatic 1cc

[attach=1]

I win, Mountain of Faith!

Screw you Divine Virtue of Wind God

SCREW YOU SOURCE OF RAINS

Screw you Kanako's first Nonspell

Screw you Kanako

Screw you Spin the Cephalic Plates

Screw you incarnations of Peerless Wind God that are competent

Screw you Midboss Sanae

I WIN

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

Wow.

[I have no name]

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:

Go for SA lunatic if you haven't done it already.
Utsuho is not that hard of a final boss.

[MMX]

Dude, seriously? I still have problems playing this game on normal, and haven't touched extra yet. Probably normal no bombs will be a good goal, but lunatic scares me :ohdear:

I WIN

Congratulations, guy! I still haven't touched MoF lunatic yet.

It scared me but it was more bark than bite.
But if you don't have much experience with the game, normal no bombs is fine.

[Chuckolator]

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.

[Majildian]

All scenes cleared on 90 FPS StB. It was pretty fun, but I don't think I'll be doing this on DS. Might put up a score.dat later, estimated shots taken total = 12k.

[Ridley 64]

Speaking of MoF...



Mountain of Faith 1cc'd on Lunatic!  :toot: I'd been too scared of VoWG to start trying this again sooner, but I was encouraged by all the recent 1ccs. 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...

Congrats, I ended with 0 lives 2 power. Pretty much the same thing, I could have died again to Source of Rains.

*notices tinytext*

It's on.

[チソウ タイゼン]

Oh, are we all going for UFO Hard now?

THIS MEANS I NOW HAVE MOTIVATION.

First time seeing Byakuren on Hard, got to second card perfect (and then game over because lol 0.7 lives)

(WHY IS CLOUDY WAY IN PURPLE EASIER ON HARD OH GOD.)

In other news, if you don't count a derptastic death at the front of Laser Bullshit ~ Hard Mode involving trying to graze both of the axes at once, I would have capped it! :toot:

[Esper]

90FPS MoF Normal clear because I had 10 minutes to kill

[Chuckolator]

Just beat Ridley's 9-4 speedrun of 176.43, in only 17642 shots!

This deserves to be here. <_<

Is it bad that I fell over with laughter?

Also, video of my Mountain of Faith Lunatic 1cc

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

[LeviLamprey]

@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.

Rematch. Overdrive this time.

Finally captured VoWG.
