Old thread (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,14460.0.html)
Business as usual, post your achievements here so that other people can...I actually don't know what. just do things here.
-
Full shmup? But what about my studies?! :V
Oh right, listing things:
1cc'd most games on Lunatic.
LNB'd PCB, IN, MoF and SA. All of them with 6 deaths i believe. I'm not sure about PCB one, maybe that never got improved beyond 7. I don't play enough full runs as you can see.
Also, scored 1.54b in MoF Lunatic. Again, you can see i don't play enough full runs.
Goals are in the pastebin in the sig if anyone has little life enough to care. :V It's just brainstorm and it doesn't even contain my number 1 goal. Playing more like in the old days. :3
-
survival:
PoDD, UFO, EoSD, PCB, MoF were Lunatic 1cc'd with all shots, PoFV was Lunatic 1cc'd with all characters without focus/charge/while constantly shooting
EoSD (5 miss), GFW (4 miss), PoDD were Lunatic 1cc'd without bombing (Several other games were attempted but failed on the last boss ;_;)
UFO all bosses NMNB
EoSD was Easy 1cc'd on 180 fps and Normal 1cc'd on 120 fps (No MarisaB), GFW was Extra 1cc'd on 90 fps
scoaring: various in GFW/EoSD/PoDD/PoFV/StB
But my best achievement ever being myself something only I can do
-
EoSD, PCB, IN, MoF, SA, UFO, TD, DDC lunatic 1cc
Oh, and VoWG, SFN timeout, SFN with Youmu no focus.
Given the few number of achievements this year - clearly a sign that I'm slacking off :(
I mean the latest one took all of 1 week of which most of the play time was spent screenshotting spells for wiki.
Also, omg SA lunatic perfect!! Congratz.
-
Lunatic 1cc: All Windows games except for DDC.
NMNB: Some bosses
I haven't timed out VoWG yet.
-
Uh, whatever.
Lunatic 1cc'd all main windows games games except UFO.
NMNB Extra from EoSD, PCB/PCB-Phantasm (NBB), MoF, SA, UFO (NUFO).
Random lolscoring attempts: 383m EoSD Extra, 1b SA Extra.
That's it.
-
Most significant for now: clearing EoSD Normal and PCB Normal with the No Bombs condition. Perfecting PCB Normal Stage 6. Getting a 2 billion score in IN Easy mode (solo Reimu). Getting a 900 million score in PCB Easy (ReimuB). I'll get that billion yet.
Aiming for: PCB 1 billion (any difficulty, really), improving my IN Easy score, probably No Bombs IN and MoF Normal. I should be able to get No Miss EoSD and PCB Normal runs, too.
-
LNB of games 4, and 6-13 (GFW included).
2MNBNBB of PCB Lunatic
2MNB of MoF lunatic
3MNB of IN Lunatic
3MNBNUFO of UFO Lunatic
LNBNT
PCB LNN
Lots of Perfect Extras
Yeah.
-

-PoDD-
Reimu: 87.3mil, No-Miss 1cc, No-Bomb 1cc
Mima: 98.2mil

385mil Lunatic
And various other adventures. Cool.
-
Some nice goals there Zengeku!
Hehe, of course. I will not quit shmups before they are all done. :)
-
Stuff I have done :
EoSD, PCB, IN Lunatic 1cc.
PoFV Lunatic 1cc with Reisen, Marisa and Komachi.
EoSD Hard no-bombs.
EoSD Extra no-bombs.
All main games Extra stages cleared.
Stuff I should do :
Get some scores in PoFV.
Perfect EoSD Extra.
EoSD/PCB LNB.
Acknowledge the existence of post-PoFV games.
Play MSD or other fangames once I get a computer able to run danmakufu.
-
Awww yeah.
Got my TD 1CC with Reimu.
Which is weird it took me this long, considering that I've 1cc'd DDC on Normal with Reimu B, as well as Hard and Extra of EoSD with Reimu B
I only play Reimu B...
-
I,ll make my list in a couple days.
-
Done:
EoSD Lunatic 2MNB
EoSD Lunatic 413M
Goals:
DDC Lunatic NB
EoSD Lunatic 500M
EoSD Lunatic NMNB
-
No, no, this is a bad thread title and it's not something to joke about. Fuck gus and his legacy.
I, uh, I've only done two things of note due to a combination of lack of focus and my awful computer.
PoFV Reisen no-focus, constant shooting, no charge, bomb on X button (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=26319)
10D LNBNT (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=26373)
And the, uh, 20 EoSD LNB attempts that crashed and burned on Scarlet Gensokyo. Bad memories.
Gonna work on DDC and try to do a Hard NB run to get back into things. If I can ever stop playing FTL.
Also I totally spaced on Nindel's LNMNB, nice work. I don't expect I would have the mental fortitude to play these games with devotion approaching that level.
-
So I haven't play Touhou for a long time although DDC got me interested in Touhou again.
MoF, IN (FinalB) and TD Normal 1cc
DDC, IN (FinalA/B), TD, UFO Easy 1cc (duh)
MoF No Focus Easy 1cc (Still too weak)
Achieving MASTER in one spell in DDC (lol I love SakuyaA shotgun abuse)
Just now I captured Kanako's 3rd spell on Normal with the awesome way. (I can't do the normal way.)
Now I'm working on DDC Normal 1cc, which should not be too hard provided I stop failing in later stages.
-
Well, I'd never really played UFO much, maybe first stage or so.
So I did a blind run of Easy, and 1cc'd it. Man, maybe this isn't as hard as people say.
Do Normal, Stage 2 massacred me... :colonveeplusalpha:
Don't have sig privileges yet, but this is my goals/accomplishment doc
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmIJfyr9AF-7dGJPeW9sVXNUWWtacW1TT3RvY0xTZ3c&usp=sharing
-
Haven't been playing Touhou for that long after my hiatus, so I've just done a TD hard 1cc and a DDC hard 1cc. Very happy with both, though. :)
I do plan to hard 1cc all of the games, and then, possibly, if I'm lucky, the stars have aligned, cosmic radiation has come upon me, Raiko switches her tie to blue, and I actually get some skill, I'll get my first lunatic 1cc - though, I shouldn't get ahead of myself.
-
So, achievements and goals time? Fine.
Achievements:
Normal 1cc: EoSD, MoF, IN (some)
Lots of stuff in Spell Practice, including a few Last Words/Overdrives
Goals:
Easy challenges (NB/NF/pacifist)
More Normal 1cc (I'm very close, actually)
Get a Hard 1cc
Make Lunatic stop crushing me
Clear an Extra already
Play DDC
Try to get into Soku
Dig out some non-Touhou shmups
It's good to have a huge backlog :P
In other news, some of my new IN stuff. Another LW down, "Blind Nightbird" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=30089). Also, here (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=30090) is an Extra attempt where I somehow managed to survive that "death fairy" in the end (got farthest I ever did too, but that's just because I didn't work on it seriously yet). Got some more Normal clears too, have one with Scarlet Team (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=30091) that I'm satisfied with. Lastly, got better at earlier LWs: "Emperor of the East" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=30092) and "Deflation World" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=30093).
-
The best kind of final-spellcard capture is when you have no lives and no bombs.
Oh what's that, Yuyuko? You're a cheater and have a final final spellcard?
Well, I'll capture that too. ha, ha ha, ha hahahahaaasdasd*cough*
* (Normal Mode ;] )
-
Yiiihaw.
DDc extra mode clear! 0 lives left and 2-3 bombs.
The run went pretty great, first time I managed to reach Raiko with 5 lives in stock. BUT THEN I got hit by the very last green bullet shooting fairy of the stage and had to try her with 4 lives anyway.
-
So you ponies think DDC Lunatic is hard? No? Well neither does ASL cause lookie at this thing here: http://score.royalflare.net/th14/replay14/th14_ud01c2.rpy
1-miss No-bombs Lunatic. What happens when you combine two unstoppable forces (ASL and SakuyaA). Death was really silly too.
-
Damn, ASL. You go girl! ;)
Edit: Oh, he's using the SakuyaA power abuse. Still cool though.
-
Almost completed all cards in IN with Reimu/Yukari(Just need about 9?), and I Completed all last words besides Reimu's,Marisa's, and Yukari's.
-
So you ponies think DDC Lunatic is hard? No? Well neither does ASL cause lookie at this thing here: http://score.royalflare.net/th14/replay14/th14_ud01c2.rpy
1-miss No-bombs Lunatic. What happens when you combine two unstoppable forces (ASL and SakuyaA). Death was really silly too.
Still waiting for a WR run that doesn't deliberately bomb all the hard parts personally.
-
Decided to take a break from IB's mountain of work and periodic DDC runs and went and played EoSD and PCB a bit. Managed to pull off some of the best runs I've done ( and with only one try)
EoSD Extra: Got to And Then There Will be None
EoSD Hard: Got to Vampire Illusion (No lives no bomb left at Eternal Meek. Captured Eternal Meek on Hard and Thousand Needle Mountain for the first time)
PCB Phantasm: Captured Shikigami - Ran for the first time a reached Border of Life and Death with 4 lives remaining, though I screwed up DBF to end up with 1 life remaining
-
I've forgot the past achievements list and now I cannot just copy and paste it anymore due to the links. Oh, well, this might be good; it lived on for a while and I don't think anyone found the - even initially bad - joke funny anymore.
-
I think this was my first actual NMNBNBB of PCB Extra. (http://puu.sh/4cacy.bmp) Run was rather shabby, and I missed the last border. Goal would be to reach 1.15B with the conditions, and see if I want to push it onwards from there. Probably not, unless Zil decides to retaliate and I have to push the score forward.
1.2B would be somewhat simply attainable with these conditions, but I'm unsure if I want to dedicate too much into this; if I end up putting too much effort into the stage, there's the risk that I will end up doing the eventual bombs-involved serious scorerun, which would be scary.
Ehh. As usual, time will tell.
-
Oh god ASL why are you playing DDC. I am very displeased by this information.
-
Oh right new thread. Time for achievements pasta.
- Megumi (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1O6tuuwjg0) Yaobi (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75YBe0K0p20) doesn't (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsfLjsbP0AM) like (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nL5tryKYbMc) me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AB-f8K_WmBI).
- Especially after I perfected her on Lunatic. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9UBv-FZ3Hg)
- Oh, she came back for revenge in stage 6 with the hardest card in the whole game? Let's time that out too. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KQ34pUov2o)
- Speaking of Marine Benefit, have a no-bombs Lunatic clear (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy30HEPNiss) and a full perfect run of Normal modo. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=595JsLd0Ee4)
- I'm also apparently the second known female player to time out Virtue of Wind God (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0CEeH-E9IU).
- Timed out Yuyuko's hardest card in PCB (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOjUN2S45Qs).
- Timed out Yuyuko's hardest card in IN (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2jYXR7HIc4).
- Remember when GIL did that PCB Phantasm no-vertical run? I went and duplicated it. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4SmkSbz7sA)
- I wasn't quite satisfied with this though, so I did it in SA too. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYXKsmSkSq4)
- There's also a Killing Doll timeout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYgUvVShG00) on my channel that I did a while back with sheer dumb luck seriously how did I do this
- Ditto for Charming Siege from All Sides (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRDkBEmQrVE).
- Byakuren's first spellcard (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXeDgVFG3LI) is a really neat timeout to get, even if it took me way too many tries.
- See also: Rorschach in Danmaku (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLMOb-NJcpM).
- I remember when clearing the entirety of Shoot the Bullet at 90FPS was the best thing I could ever imagine doing, now I don't even feel like linking to it :V
Not a complete list by any stretch of the imagination, but it's already a teal deer and I have over 300 videos (when you include unlisteds). If I posted everything we'd be here all night. BV
-
Just got a 1DNB run of EoSD stage 6 in my first try in months. Still got it. *hair flip*
Anyway, accomplishments time? Things haven't exactly changed, but the new games make it look less comprehensive, so...
All Touhous lunatic 1cc, including PC-98 and side games, except for Hopeless Masquerade (need a better video card before I can play it).
All bosses pre-DDC perfected on lunatic/extra, including PC-98 (discounting Fairy Wars for reasons).
All extras cleared.
All spell cards captured on lunatic/extra, barring Fairy Wars (again, for reasons).
All HRtP bosses perfected on lunatic.
PCB lunatic no bombs 1cc.
All scenes cleared in StB/DS.
Scarlet Gensokyo timeout.
Shiawase Getto da yo.
It's amazing how the community is at the point where even this doesn't sound so amazing anymore. ^^ I'm proud of all of you.
-
Sounds amazing to me, but I'm still bad...
I have fun though. Normal modo is great.
-
Timed out Kobito's Thorny Path (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5y4V11Sssw)
List? I ain't got no list! I don't need no list! I don't need to show you my stinking list!
-
I timed out Reverse Bow "Decree of the Dream Bow of Heaven & Earth" on Lunatic. But that's not all, I also 1cc'd Spelunky HD! Only took me ~200 attempts this time!
-
Oh god ASL why are you playing DDC. I am very displeased by this information.
Maybe you needn't worry. It's not like he's scoring it, it's just him doing survival.
-
I can't seem to find my file that has my accomplishment list from last time, but I didn't include any links or formatting in my previous post, so it's simple enough to copy-paste it here. I'm a bit surprised at how long it's getting.
New accomplishments now colored for your convenience! As if anyone other than me bothers reading these accomplishment lists thoroughly.
1: Bombed through repeatedly. Including 13m Lunatic both routes, 11m Jigoku 10m Makai on all lower difficulties, and speedrunning Jigoku route in 7 minutes 20 seconds.
2: Managed to get the MotK scoring record with my first (and only) Lunatic 1cc since this game is so annoying and therefore unpopular. Oh right, I also figured out how to set up auto-fire for one time when I actually tried scoring in this, which is totally a Touhou accomplishment.
3: ---
4: 100 million Hard, 91m Normal, 78m Extra, 56m Easy.
5: 600 extend reached. Current record holder of all Easy/Normal/Hard categories, including Mima scores of 77m Easy, 118m Normal, 141m Hard. 1cc in all categories except Lunatic Marisa/Yuka, reached a letter score in all categories except Easy mode and Normal/Lunatic/Extra Yuka. NDNB Easy 1cc. NDNB Lunatic stage 1, 2, 3.
6: 200m Normal, 300m Extra, 200m Lunatic, 100m Easy. NDNB Extra. NDNB Easy 1cc. 2DNB Normal. NDNB Lunatic stage 1, 2, 3.
7. 1.4b Normal, 1.27b Easy. 1b all difficulties. NDNBNBB Ran battle. 1DNBNBB Normal. Lunatic no-focus 1cc. Phantasm 91fps clear. NDNBNBB Lunatic stage 1, 2, 3, 5. All spells captured.
8: 3.7b Lunatic (Reimu/Yukari), 2.6b Normal (Reimu/Yukari), 2.5b Easy (Youmu solo), 2.3b Easy (Reimu solo). Lunatic no-focus 1cc. Perfect (NDNB all spells captured) Lunatic stage 1, 2, 3. All spells captured except some Last Words that I never bothered with.
10: 1.47b Easy ReimuA, 952m Extra ReimuA. 1.5b Hard ReimuB, 1.7b Lunatic MarisaB. No-death Hard with ReimuA, no-death Lunatic with MarisaB. Lunatic 1 billion 3/6. NDNB Suwako battle. 2DNB Normal. NDNB Lunatic stage 1, 2, 3, 5.
11: 866m Normal, 1.99b Lunatic, 967m Extra, 1b Hard, 500m Easy (all with ReimuA). 3DNB Normal. NDNB Koishi battle. NDNB Lunatic stage 1, 2, 3.
12: 1.2b Normal, 500m Extra. NDNB Extra. 1DNBNUFO Normal. Played for over 320 hours (if that's somehow an accomplishment).
12.8: Nothing really worth noting compared to the rest of my list. A1 Lunatic 1cc and Extra clear, I guess. And gold medals of most Easy spells.
13: 1DNBNT Hard. Reached 8 lives outside of stage practice (20 extend without dying). 700m Easy, 1.3m Normal. Easy NBNTNF 91fps Marisa(fastest character) 1cc. Reached 7.4b with an infinite trance cheat and the PIV cap removed (not as trivial as it may sound). NDNBNT Lunatic stage 1, 2, 3 in a single run. All spells captured.
14: Held Royalflare records for the majority of Easy categories for most (if not all) of the time in the two weeks so far, including having all 6 at once for a few days. I was the first as far as I know to reach both 700m and 800m on Easy with non-SakuyaB characters, and the second to reach 1 billion with SakuyaB. 700m Easy 6/6. Reached the Easy PIV cap with SakuyaB in stage 3. I've also reached 8 lives by Raiko in Extra.
I need to play DDC on more than just Easy and Extra. Or play other games than just one lately, that too. It gets complicated now that college has started again.
On the topic of accomplishments that only indirectly relate to playing the games, well, I've learned to stream, expanded on Chirpy's cheat tables (particularly, finding a way to practice GFW stages), helped write the wiki's DDC gameplay article, kept MotK's high scores not-quite-officially updated for 5-7 months now (depending on the particular game), and created a surprisingly active Touhou gameplay IRC channel. I guess I've been pretty active.
-
I guess for community related accomplishments, holding the STG thread challenges for /jp/, advertising STGrillz (http://stgrillz.appspot.com) to partially combine the MotK and /jp/ communities among one site and maintaining the IRC channel for it and general Touhou gameplay (#kusoplay @ irc.rizon.net) would be something.
They don't really feel like achievements, though, considering that they're mostly about being in touch with other people and therefore belong to not only me but all of the guys that took part in watching/streaming/joining the channel. Then again, I guess that's where the community part of it comes in. I don't know, I'm an unsocial jerk.
-
Blue color doesn't feel very fitting on a blue background. Doesn't burn my eyes either, so there's that.

I got 4 LNB back to back on my stream. I think I reset at the start of MoF stage 1, but otherwise they were all first tries!
EoSD ReimuA: 8 misses
EoSD MarisaB: 8 misses (both captured Meister :D)
MoF ReimuB: 7 misses (NMNB stage 3 & Aya! But some very stupid stage portion deaths)
PCB ReimuB: 4 misses, 3 unintentional border breaks (let's count it as 7 misses)
I got pretty close to an UFO LNB after PCB, but game overed to Superhuman like an idiot... still, the other four runs made me happy.
I don't know if I wanna LNB any other games though. Maybe at some point, but I got all the ones I wanted to do (except for UFO) covered.
-
Finally got my MoF Hard 1CC. I hate stage 6 so much.
Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEcHL8leOSo)

Dude chum why are you so :V
Umm... I have a UFO route I think I can pull off, finally. Not really an achievement until I actually do it though.
Edit: yolorun complete, only 1.6b though;;;
-
Lets add an MoF Extra Clear as well.
Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fF2tA7MWdT0)
Probably the easiest extra I've done so far, imo.

Well, I have 2 mediocre accomplishments today.
First was clearing my first Last Word... "Blind Nightbird" though I feel that's one of the easier ones (well, easiest of the 4 I have)
Second was capping all spells on easy and normal for DDC
Normal "Shining Needle Sword" was a bitch. Got it on my 69th try...
-
I have two shitty IN easy scores. go me.
sorry I have no list to speak off.
lmao even zengeku decided to stop shitting on himself so much, your turn to stop the pity party
Congrats to Mino on the LNB. I think it'll take me a while to reach that but I'll try my best.
Where would you put it in terms of LNB difficulty? Is it worse than UFO?

Do SakuyaB.
Go 1.5bil.
Go 500mil.

"lmao", what I do and how I handle my achievements is none of your goddamn concern.
To be fair, the amount of self-deprecation dished out over the years by, quite frankly, excellent players has gotten to a ridiculous point. Come back when you can't even get one single lunatic 1cc, yeah? (And even then, the average player can't 1cc normal, so hey, even I'm doing it.)
-
"lmao", what I do and how I handle my achievements is none of your goddamn concern.
Making a post saying you have two shitty scores and no list whatsoever to share can... easily be deemed as simply attention seeking for no reason. I'm not saying that's what you meant to do, but it can be interpreted that way. Most other people use the thread either to post about something they did or to congratulate someone else
-
I feel I've already posted things to similar effect but I feel this bears repeating. 700 words, i don't know why I do this so much. Well read up everybody and don't you dare tl;dr me you assholes. If you don't shit on yourself and/or your accomplishments, feel free to skip.
The way I see it now is that if good players or good players in denial go around shitting on their accomplishments, they are achieving nothing but indirectly shitting on anyone who isn't as capable at the activity in question as well as refusing to acknowledge themselves for the skills that they've gained.
I don't see how the fuck it's not super depressing to spend 3-4 years or more of your life's spare time playing STG games if you're not even going to acknowledge that you are getting skilled at them. People like me, I can pretty much fire up a Mountain of Faith Lunatic credit and expect to clear it pretty consistently and that's without bombs. However, if i'm in bad practice i might game over or die more than I'd like to in it. Does this mean I'm suddenly a bad player? Hell no it doesn't. There is nothing in the world that requires skills that you can expect to do well everytime. I've been a part of this horrible habit for about a year now. I took on the mindset in hopes that it would help me avoid letting successes get to my head and such but I've come to realize that it's a hell of a lot better to consider yourself 'fucking awesome' than 'fucking garbage' and I've got NO FUCKING CLUE why that was even something that needed realizing in the first place but that's apparently something people still need to wake up and understand.
If that isn't understandable enough then lets offer up a Self-loathing-English dictionary right here:
I died 3 times in EoSD LNB, i'm so shit = I failed to reach my extremely demanding goals hence I'm terrible and anyone who can't even LNB EoSD is even more terrible and if there are any poor souls out there who can't clear the game on Lunatic they should get themselves fucking euthanized.
Exaggerated to better bring across the point sure but that's really what it is. You might think that it's your own business how you refer to your accomplishments but please consider that every time you shit on your 'bad' performance you indirectly shit even harder on everyone else who can't match you in terms of performance. So try not to do it. It's bad for everyone, including yourself.
....
And I've got more. We need to stop considering low-miss LNB's the bloody standard around here alright? And we need to stop using the retarded excuse that 'people who are worse than me just don't play' because first of all, you have no idea how much effort any given person puts into playing shmups nor does it even matter. I've been encountering plenty of japanese (language) students over this week and their japanese is non-existent compared to mine. Sure they haven't been studying it for long but that still doesn't change the fact that I'm a lot better than them at it. The amount of effort you put into it has nothing to say, it's all about how well you speak it. If me and one of those guys were stuck in Japan, I would be the one having the easier time because i can actually say things in the language and read things. They however, can't. Oh but it's just because they haven't even studied it too much. Sure, now you try to explain to me how that is relevant.
It's the same thing with shmups. If a certain unmentionable manages to clear UFO Lunatic in less than 10 hours and I had played it over 100 hours before I actually cleared it, does this mean that the unmentionable is better than me? Hell no, it means that he's perhabs faster at learning than me but until he's actually surpassed my level of skill at the game, he is not better.
Fuck this is becoming a wall. But I feel like I really have to explain elementary things here to maybe hopefully sometime in the future make holders of WR scores, high tier LNB performances and other folks to stop calling themselves bad when the indisputable fact is that they are actually quite skilled and they should be happy about being as skilled as they are.
-
Self-deprecation is good in a way, we don't want the community to turn into a full-time circlejerk. Sincerity is one keyword here. If someone really thinks they're skilled, they are well within their right to think that, same if someone thinks they are shit. The other keyword is tact, despite if you think you are a really awesome player, if you go around bragging too much that leaves a bad impression. Of course, self-deprecation can do the same. I always found it odd when people did that with a seemingly fabricated attitude.
We're all human and temporary self-deprecation is completely natural if you are in the midst of failure. I wouldn't say that necessarily holds any lesser-skilled player in a negative light. Everyone has different standards and levels of play.
-
We all suck at these games, however, it doesn't help to say it over and over again. Once you know that you're bad, you need to look forward and practice to become better instead of whining on forums/IRC about it. I used to do it myself, so I have some first-hand experience in the matter.
End of discussion. Go back to speaking about achievements.
-
I think in any good person of skill is a sense of healthy self-deprecation. Honestly, what are you supposed to do when you're good at something that others look up to? I've seen more than enough of the type who like to rub their accomplishments in everyone's faces in a much more purposeful way than you may perceive self-deprecation to be. And honestly, seeing yourself as not that great is a good way to keep yourself humble, and to not let your ability go to your head. I dunno exactly how else you're supposed to act, since I know for a fact people hate it when you're up front about your skill at Touhou.
-
You could just, you know, not talk about how good or bad you are.
-
As someone whom we can all confirm sucks at Touhou* (4 normal clears) I want to answer this, but I can't. Honestly I think it depends from person to person. Personally, I prefer gloating over self-deprivation, but others may not agree.
To use a Benami example: I used to play DDR somewhat casually. After a while I thought I was "good", or at least "decent"; I could clear 5-6 foot (difficulty) songs relatively consistently. However, when I read a thread once on how good is "good", I saw a lot of people say that you weren't "good" in their eyes until you could AA 9-10 foot songs consistently. Needless to say that left a horrible taste in my mouth and I ended up not playing any DDR games for a while after that.
Same goes with Touhou; if you're a Lunatic player, that alone puts you in the top 10% according to that annual Touhou popularity poll if I remember correctly. That's pretty significant in a lot of people's eyes. Thus, it really does irk me when I see someone say they "suck" when they fail to get a WR or fail a LNB run on the last spell. You know what sucks? Going into SA Normal Stage 5 with 6 lives and getting a game over on Orin. That sucks.
TL:DR I personally would rather people feel good about their accomplishments when they hit Lunatic level, and leave the self-deprivation to us poor people. :V*
*Obviously any mention of me or any other Normal players "sucking" is entirely tongue-in-cheek.

It's possible to be proud of yourself without acting like an arrogant jerk. In fact, those things are completely different. Likewise, it's possible to be disappointed with yourself without acting like you suck. It annoys me, personally, to see people talking shit about themselves all the time, because it's completely unwarranted.
Agreeing with Zengeku, basically.
edit: Cut by ElD, but yes that's basically what I mean. You can mention the things you've done without talking about the skill level which was theoretically required to do them. Let your actions speak for themselves, in a sense.

I'll ask again - how hard do you think the was as LNB runs go? Worse than UFO? Easier?
-
So, I guess I've only recently just been diving into the whole Lunatic business. But 90FPS runs of Extra are more of my thing in terms of accomplishments.
EoSD: Hard 1cc with MarisaA
PCB: Lunatic 1cc with MariA and MariB
IN: Lunatic 1cc with Netherworld Team
MoF: Lunatic 1cc with MarisaC
SA: Lunatic 1cc with ReimuC (I didn't bomb everything, I swear!)
UFO: Lunatic 1cc with SanaeA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyZD7BdUUEM)
10D: Lunatic 1cc with Marisa
10DA: Lunatic 1cc with Reimu, Marisa, and Sanae (because 10Darrange is different enough to warrant mentioning)
DDC: Hard 1cc with all shots, working on MarisaA Lunatic
Naturally, my Extra 90FPS collection is in my signature. But some of those are from a really long time ago so I might retry some of them.
-
I'll ask again - how hard do you think the was as LNB runs go? Worse than UFO? Easier?
Not trying to answer on Mino's behalf here or anything but from what I've played the game is considerably easier than UFO especially with homing types. Not that this game doesn't have difficult parts but it doesn't really have anything that matches Shou or Byakuren. I'm sure that once everyone's playtime on both games exceed 100 hours, they will all agree on this.
-
I dunno man, I thought UFO was easier because your character's control feels much better and the power system isn't full on retarded. I can NB Shou and Byakuren better than I do against Seija and Sukuna as well.
-
Hmm... well I'm thinking that there's going to be the obvious problem when making judgements like these is that there's going to be a gap between the amount of time spent in one game over the other. I'm thinking the reason you don't do so well on Sukuna is because of a lack of familiarity with her patterns. After all, pretty much anything in her fight that can kill you is memorization. So I guess if your point is that it's harder due to being more memorization demanding then sure.
But then again, I don't have LNBs on either game, this game because it's new and UFO because holy shit only 5 lives and so many mean patterns, so I am really not in a position to make accurate estimations. Just throwing in speculation. :3
-
UFO LNB and LNBNUFO are two different things.
-
Well I'm talking about the former still.
The 5 lives comment was just a silly excuse for not having done UFO LNB ;)
-
UFO LNB is clearly much harder. The fact that DDC is new has just (naturally) skewed some opinions
-
Honestly. DDC is weird. For me, it seems to mostly revolve around my performances in stages 3 and 4, which I see make up the difficulty bulk of the game. Of course, you can never underestimate the difficulty of stages 5 or 6 either. I worry that people are actually starting to underestimate DDC a bit. Sure, bosses can be learned, but putting it all together in a run is the challenge. I can definitely say that I'm not consistent at getting NMNB Seija fights.
UFO took me much longer to get in the long run. It took a month for me to learn the boss patterns as they're actually meant to be played. (because in the vanilla days, you just bombspam the shit out of the game. Similar to DDC style) However, I had much less experience with Touhou when I was going for the UFO LNB, which was in March.
So I can't really say which is harder. Personally, I would have an easier time with UFO, but I have noticeably more experience with UFO. Most of the time I play UFO, I go for LNBNUFO anyway, but that's a different story.
In DDC, I just have a hard time getting an actual good run going. Unless I'm using SakuyaA or something, I'd find it very hard to get a low miss, no bomb run of the game, like I have of UFO.
-
I got my first 1cc of any STG: Perfect Cherry Blossom with score: 630628180 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=30143).
I think I've been practicing this game for about 4 months. The hardest wall to get past was the Prismriver Sisters on stage 4, I almost gave up because I couldn't practice them without sitting through the stage every time but then I discovered thtk and ecl and practised that boss fight well over 100 times to come up with safe strategies and get good enough at them to be able to execute them in a real run. After that I discovered POCing and the stage portions became much more fun.
The first 4 stages went well in terms of survival but I couldn't get any borders to happen when the good graze opportunities come up. It's very difficult to time them correctly. My Youmu fight went a lot better than it usually goes in practice (even though I still died a lot on it, didn't get any of the borders and threw a few away to help me survive). My Yuyuko fight was absolutely disgusting, I will have to practice that a lot after I get more confident with Youmu but I have only gone through the Yuyuko fight once before.
It is always nice to get a p.b. but I was getting bit fed up from how badly stage 6 went so I wasn't really excited or happy by the end of it. I want to get a run with a decent Yuyuko fight - I don't expect a perfect Yuyuko for a long time though - those great borders on stage 2 as well as some good borders in the Youmu fight. I suppose I should also read a bit more about PCB since I wonder if I'm missing any important scoring elements of the game.

he asked us more experienced players for advice on irc and put more effort into the clear than necessary, so his score is higher for a reason. most first clears are just barely pulled through things.
Kinda late, but WR is up on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFSefUvkCwA)

Nothing embarassing about that. It's human nature to be excited about something awesome happening and at least you didn't start maniacally laughing like i've done sometimes.
Also, "if we were to take optimal as standard", then PMT's DDP score would be shit-tier. I know you state that you're still happy with your run but just in case, pls don't consider your run bad just because it could've been better. ;) It was good and I'd wish you were here so i could properly 'reward' you. :3

My first DDC 1CC, On easy. @75 fps. Was kinda fun.

So special circumstances allowed me to regain proper ventilation for my computer during the previous week. Cooked up a DDC Lunatic 1cc and DDC Extra clear in that time (both attached to this post; NOTE: both are for v1.00a). However, those same circumstances also meant no Internet access during that week (long story), and I learned too late that a v1.00b patch was released, hence the warning about the replays being for v1.00a.
My impressions? I'm really liking DDC. ZUN decided not to let up with the difficulty after all, and I'm so glad he made that choice. I had a lot of fun replaying the stages, even after getting the 1cc, and improving at most of the attacks that gave me trouble the first time around. New hardest Touhou game? Definitely. But for the most part the danmaku still seems within reach, rather than being "impossible" as others described it around release. If I still had the means to keep my computer from overheating, I would certainly keep on playing. I haven't even seen boss-Benben yet.
If it's not too much trouble, would it be all right if someone recorded these two replays for me and sent me the videos? Fraps was giving me too many fits, even with the extra ventilation.
-
1.00a replays shouldn't desync on 1.00b. All my B-shot 1ccs were done before the 1.00b patch and I've tested it myself. Oddly enough, the MarisaA 1cc desyncs on stage 4. Must have paused during dialogue or something.

Lots of Marisa replays desync, I think all the top level MarisaB replays I watched from royalflare had desyncs in some stage. Seems to happen due to her options glitching out kinda frequently.

Hmm, interesting. Never got to test it, but thinking on it I suppose there isn't a whole lot between versions that might mess with the replays (the two I posted before were both with ReimuB, if that helps). Probably just my cautious side acting up, though given this is a programming issue, you can understand why. :V

Cleared UFO extra, so I've now beaten all of the main windows series (not 9 or 12.8) extra stages. It really does feel very similar to EoSD's extra stage.
SA's extra is on a whole different level to the other games imo, that or I'm just bad at it, it took way longer to beat it than the other ones...
I guess now I'll go back to trying to clear EoSD lunatic.

Well, I can't just stop at capturing it 100 times right?

I got a UFO LNB in about 1 hour worth of attempts. :3
Whopping 12 misses lol. I haven't played this game very much over the last months, like only a few boss rush matches or so. I really didn't expect to win this but I did.
1 miss stage 2
3 miss Stage 3
2 miss Stage 4
4 miss Stage 5
2 miss Stage 6
Plenty of room for improvement but I'm still pleased with the results. It showed obvious signs of rust and I played rather stupidly on a handful of occasions too. Most of my practice is done with NBNUFO routes. LNB is a fun challenge in this game i think. There are a couple of scenarios in this game where silly mistakes can easily do you in but with tons of lives as the red ufos allow for you, there is a lot of room for error so failing the easier things isn't as frustrating. I am sure I can at least shave off 6 miss with enough playing.
My problem is that I don't play enough full credits and just stick to practice for too long, burning myself out on that before even getting around to doing full credits. Let's try to change this. And revitalize my skills on Shou maybe :V that fight just went all sorts of wrong.
Turns out testing a technique I've only heard about in the middle of a run wasn't the smartest idea ever. I killed shou at the wrong time while safespotting the 3rd non and she slammed right into me as punishment. It is stuff like that I need to get rid of. :)
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=30191
I'll of course try to improve this in the future. I'll make a comeback to UFO I think. I've gotten tired of DDC for now.

On a different note, I've 1cc'ed almost everything that I want to and only EoSD and PCB remain so here's a question:
What do after 1ccs? I wanted to start doing no bomb runs, perfect stages and similar but have no idea where to start soooo any suggestions?

Stage 4 Lunatic: Benben's second, Yatsuhashi's second
Stage 5 Lunatic: Seija's third, others were timed out with focus for now, since I'm very bad at the whole reverse control thing
Stage 6 Lunatic: Sukuna's second and fourth
Extra: Second midboss, Raiko's first, second, fourth, fifth, eighth, and her survival
Bonus: First extra midboss spell was timed out in the upper right corner, without horizontal movement (with focus). If I moved down too much, I simply forced myself to go back up.

As for what to do next, learn the scoring systems if you haven't already. Each game's is distinct, and it adds plenty of complexity to even Easy mode, much more interesting than no-bombs in my opinion (though others may disagree). (Also the MotK scoreboards need more activity)
-

Now that you've gotten this far, you have two options:
You can either hone your survival skills and pursue them further by doing No Bomb runs. This is probably the easier route. You could get some pretty cool survival achievements.
Or you could start scoring. Scoring is probably more rewarding in the long run. It'll take lots of dedication and tolerance, but with perseverance you will surely succeed! People nowadays acknowledge scoring more than survival. And survival has sort of lost its touch in the community. You'll get more experience with the games and more respect from your fellow peers through scoring.
Or you could just try both, or do whatever you feel like.

Probably going to go with the survival route. I don't like safespotting at all and scoring pretty much requires it. I also don't like using shot types which I personally consider overpowered since they're usually used on scoreruns (eg I thought UFO's Sanae B was OP though there will probably be those who disagree). Also, I always hated managing bombs so you don't waste them so no bombs should feel quite refreshing. Might scorerun in the future though.
Thanks for all your advice :D
-
You could always do both. :3
I would at least recommend you do as Karisa suggested and look up the scoring mechanics so you at least know what's going on. The general attitude I take towards scoring is that I try to do the things that gives you points, I barely ever restart and I rely almost entirely on improvization due to lackluster practice options.
Basically, even if you go do survival runs, you would maybe gain something positive from at least looking up the scoring mechanics. If you want to do full on No-bombs runs, I wish you good luck. No matter what route you take you can find advice from helpful players from IRC channels #kusoplay or #pc99 on Rizon if you're interested.
-
By "look up the scoring mechanics" do you mean, for example, I should look up how graze interacts with point item value or do you mean that I should look up how that interaction is used to improve score (which would be the spots where graze could be farmed if the example of graze is used again).
Also, the other reason I can't really do score runs is because sometimes the character doesn't stop shooting when I release the shot key (Z) so I can't stop shooting when I need to (eg to farm graze, fill UFOs, etc). It seems quite common to farm graze in score runs by leaving the boss very close to death but I would lose considerable scoring potential because I couldn't do that smoothly. Didn't post about it in tech support because its not something that only happens in Touhou.
-
Not only would that make score running pretty much impossible, but it may also ruin some of the games completely such as the phantasmagorias, photography games and GFW. Hope you get that problem fixed.
I think by scoring mechanics he meant the former, the latter doesn't need to be looked into unless you like the mechanics in the first place IMO.
-
Yeah, i just meant that you should know a few things about how it works. For example, it doesn't hurt to try some unfocused grazing when you have borders in PCB, to try and cancel bullets for time in IN or in the case of SA, to suicide a few lives away to do some easy graze milking on Parsee. I improved my score by 400 million just by suiciding on one of her nons iirc.
-
Also this is apparently a pretty good score somehow. I'm guessing clear bonus is pretty huge in this.
It's probably spell bonuses, which a no-bomb run naturally earns more of than a basic 1cc. Remaining lives are only 10m (except in Extra), while DDC's spell bonuses are quite large, particularly for (as it seems so far at least) the lowest-scoring standard Touhou game since EoSD.
Probably going to go with the survival route. I don't like safespotting at all and scoring pretty much requires it. I also don't like using shot types which I personally consider overpowered since they're usually used on scoreruns (eg I thought UFO's Sanae B was OP though there will probably be those who disagree). Also, I always hated managing bombs so you don't waste them so no bombs should feel quite refreshing. Might scorerun in the future though.
Sounds like you're not very interested in the route planning (which in most games includes bomb planning among other things) scoring involves. Though you also seem to be overestimating the frequency of safespotting for score. (It's not all about grazing either; even SA has other aspects.) Also, each shot type is its own scoring category; if some seem more common, it's because people tend to use the shot types they're already familiar with.
I still recommend you try it though. So many people seem to reject scoring without trying for themselves (often because they're intimidated by the advanced techniques they don't need when they're learning the scoring systems, sort of like expecting to need Lunatic survival skills to 1cc Normal, since the difference between, say, 1 billion and 1.5 billion is not as immediately obvious as the difference between Normal and Lunatic)... I find it a shame.
If your keyboard has problems with releasing Z, anyway, I hope you can find a fix. Key remapping may be a potential solution.

Decided to scratch my plans of MarisaB LNB on DDC as first 1cc of DDC. Threw in a single credit at the game with SakuyaA and cleared Lunatic with 5 lives left. It was mostly a bomb everything resource managy run on everything except Seija and Kagerou.
This game suuuuuuuucks.
--- Anyway, playing as SakuyaA absolutely breaks everything, which isn't a bad thing because outside of Kagerou, Recliner and Seija, this game is worse than TD. Today I just decided that I wanted to at least get a clear over and done with and yes, it did turn out to be as easy as breathing air.
Please ZUN, it's been 3 years since your last good game. What happened?

I find it a shame.
Most of the reason I don't score is the effort it takes to learn the routes. And the restarts. And the fact that it'll actually take time to get a good score run. I do plan to score. I just, haven't gotten around to it.
And I don't even know what I want to score...

Oh Zengeku. You must see the light! DDC is a great game! Sukuna is a great boss!
DDC has easily reached third in my favorite Touhou games, right behind PCB and UFO.

Dude, you had TD at that level sometime as well. That's not very convincing. And what, Sukuna is easily the worst part about the game, lol. You are not being a very good missionary for the game. Try harder! :D

Let's see
- Stages suck. All of them.
- Probably the worst game in terms of resource.
- Terrible Stage 2 boss (which is a shame since the patterns looked cool and the BGM is sexy); Stage 6 boss is also cocks just like IN
On the bright side, scoring is fun to execute, it's got the best Stage 3 boss and Stage 4 bosses and Seija isn't too bad either. I'd say it's the second weakest 3rd gen 2hu, next to MoF.
-
Yeah okay it's not worse than TD though what are you talking about.
Stage 1 is terrible in both cases. Stage 2 in Ten Desires wins for me by at least having Kyouko who's a considerably more fun boss than Sekibanki imo. Sekibanki is a completely stupid time waster whose only purpose is for scoreplayers to bomb her nons to oblivion to raise PIV. Stage 3 wins in DDC both in terms of it Stage and boss fight, i'll give it that much but then players are forcefed an avalanche of diarrhea in the shape of DDC Stage 4 which I find to be complete garbage whereas it was actually pretty decent in TD. Stage 4 bosses, yeah okay Recliner beats out Seiga but Benben doesn't so it's a bit depending on the shot you use here. Stage 5... yeah, i guess it's better than Ten Desires too however not by too much. Stage 6 is awful, awful, awful. I think Miko is a way superior boss to Sukuna and I seriously dislike Miko.
The scoring is XXX instead of XXC. It doesn't do enough to reward PoC'ing instead of just bombing for the points. Most of the shottypes are either broken or bad. I dunno what this game has that makes it not Ten Desires tier. I suppose it doesn't have trances but that's about it.
-
Stage-by-stage comparison is a habit that needs to go die somewhere. I think the game's stages are enjoyable and the bosses are good... aside from Shinmyoumaru's second half which is the great legendary pile of shit, but, yeah. Game has a system that at the very least doesn't repel you like TD's does.

Got my first perfect stage today. Just TD Stage 4 Lunatic so nothing too difficult but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't quite proud of it. Amazes me that a year ago I had trouble getting to stage 4 on normal :D
-
There are easier Stage 4's. Otsukaresama!
Let's see more from you Mr. Jovial.

Found a way to grab a 2.0+0.5 on the first waves of enemies on stage 4 DDC with SakuyaB instead of the 0.8+0.5+1.2 that the Easy WR uses o/
Using this strat ReimuA can grab 2.0's all the way to the 4 laser spread orbs before the title screen.

DDC Lunatic clear (http://i.imgur.com/3z4wh2F.png)
with MarisaB
5th credit I think this was. Marisa op.
-
I just 1cced SA Easy with every shot type! :D
Now time to move on to Normal!
-
Finally got to play DDC, with my left arrow key broken! Remapped keys to IJKL and gave hard a try.
Seija's final was where the attempt ended, not bad for having never seen the game before. Followed it up with a normal 1cc with 5 lives left (both ReimuB), then ReimuA (1 life because I tried capturing everything, but perfect first 3 stages) and SakuyaA (4 lives, perfect normal Seija, 4DNB Sukuna w/ 3 to the survival) before trying the extra stage...which I cleared on the 3rd credit past the opening streaming with ReimuA, 1 life to spare. Pretty fun game, good system , nice and challenging without being in your face impossible (though it might be because I haven't done much with lunatic yet, and because I haven't played much yet) and one of the best extra bosses.
Oh and I captured all the extra cards in 4 tries or less except the final (6 tries, all deaths to note phase) and the survival, which took 16-with all but one failure to <13 seconds left.
-
Captured all spells in IN in stage 1,2,3,4B,4B,5and 6A!
Kaguya's last spells are annoying and Mokou's "Imperishable Shooting" drives me crazy!
-
Compared to perfecting Subterranean Animism, my accomplishments don't really amount to much. Sure, I could do Lunatic 1cc's on most of the series (4,5,6,7,8,10,11,13,14) and have completed all of the extras (minus SoEW, and done with all shottypes) but...DAT PERFECT. :o
Well, I did capture every spell with every character in DDC. (So basically, all spells captured with SakuyaB) Give me some time, and I'll pull a real accomplishment - a Lunatic 1cc of DDC with SakuyaB.
-
1cc'd DDC with both Reimu shottypes. On Easy, because I suck at Normal (except for MoF).
Had to say that I just pressed X while fighting Seija. I have v1.00a, so I could have paused and flipped the screen when required, but I was too lazy :V Sukuna was actualy pretty easy for me, except for that spell in which she makes your hitbox bigger. :ohdear:
-
Oh, nevermind. Your way of wording threw me off and I misunderstood what you meant. Sorry. Feel free to delete this post, janitors.
-
Nabbed a perfect SA normal Utusho (boss rush patch). It was my first attempt at seriously perfecting something in Touhou, and I'd have to say it felt really satisfying when I finally met my goal.
-
So in honor of ⑨ day, I attempted a PoFV run with Cirno on Lunatic. Without having played PoFV in months and with absolutely no experience with Cirno. I gave myself max lives to compensate, but I also used max lives on my Normal runs, so it's pretty much the same. I somehow made it all the way to Shikieiki, so I'm pretty proud of that. Especially when half the time I was at the bottom of the screen and hoping to get lucky.

Double Spoiler any% for AGDQ practice, 48:22. 63/67 scenes were first or second try. I need to work on 5-1 and Stage 10 though...maybe I should replace something for 4-7? I'm just really bad at that scene. My Stage 8 was really good though...

Nice, is that game time or real-time?
Just make sure you have fast/safe strats for the spoiler scenes, switching an uncomfortable 5 shotter for an easy 6 shotter doesn't matter much compared to cutting a photo cycle in SP-4 for example!
-
Real time. I'm still working out a strat for SP-3 but I have the rest of them as safe as they get. I was debating replacing 10-8 out and adding in 4-7 in its place. It depends on if I can get 4-7 consistent since I die going for the last photo a lot (it happened 3 times on 5-2 >_>)
Still plenty of time to get better at this, maybe I'll have consistent sub-40s come AGDQ :D

Dunno which other later stage scenes you're doing, but 9-8 is pretty fast and safe too (variation of the IL strats works well).

Welcome to Modern Touhou ::)

People keep saying that Raiko's a bitch ass easy gal to beat, but as a mainly Hard mode player I haven't even beaten her yet...
I find that worrying.
(Even so, difficulty =/= quality. Not by a long shot...)
Also, I got a Normal 1cc with a non-broken shot type.
...Reimu B.
Look, baby steps, people.
-
Messed around with some stage practice. Got a no-miss, no-bombs, no-focus run of Stage 3 in Mountain of Faith on my second attempt. First one was stopped by Hydro Camouflage. Pretty easy stage but that's what I expected from it really, it's no big surprise. If anyloli's interested, here's a replay. Though I dunno why you would be lol. http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=30308
Also, http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=30307 - This is a 1MNBNF run of PCB Stage 3. Pretty fun stuff but quite a sad way to fail it. Here's hoping that I pull myself together to finish it up.
----
Shut up, not everything has to be full run stuff. I'm just working myself back into the rhythm hoping to make improved LNBs in the future and my unfocused control could definitely use work.
-
People keep saying that Raiko's a bitch ass easy gal to beat, but as a mainly Hard mode player I haven't even beaten her yet...
I find that worrying.
She's not that hard to simply beat if you get 5 lives during the stage portion and bomb anything threatening. Her survival card though is the hardest of any extra boss, and her final spell gets pretty intense. Overall though she's a very enjoyable fight, and the fact that you can build up SO MANY LIVES is what makes her easy. If you only had, say, 4 she'd be quite a bit tougher.
-
She's not that hard to simply beat if you get 5 lives during the stage portion and bomb anything threatening.
And by "5 lives" I presume you mean 5 extends, right?
It's actually possible to gain 6 extends in the stage portion, but I've only done it by capturing the final midboss spell (drops 4 fragments instead of 2 like their others), which probably isn't practical for a first clear.
-
And by "5 lives" I presume you mean 5 extends, right?
I mean 3 extends, going up to 5 lives (counting the 2 you start with). I never really worked out a good approach for the stage, I just PoCed when I could and bombed when I felt threatened. The only part I learned was the blue streaming at the start :V
-
If you're curious, here's a replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=29968) where I gained 6 extends before Raiko. It relies a bit on ReimuA's gohei chaining for 2.0s (I also have a 6-extend route using SakuyaA's homing slowdown knives), but I think it should still be possible to gain at least 5 extends with any shot type.
-
Just beat Koumajou Densetsu 2 in one go, Sakuya feels so much better than Reimu in the first Koumajou to be honest, so much more mobility and fluidness.
Only boss that really gave me troubles were Final Remilia, I might run through it on Hard next.
-
So after that bad experience with Kagerou I had today, I figured I owed it to myself to sit down and practice Kagerou. So I did. And I ended up timing out all of her Lunatic spellcards.
During my journey, I developed lots of speculation about these spells.
Spellcard 28: Fang Sign "Canine Teeth Under the Moon"
I actually don't mind this spell one bit. It's my favorite in the stage. It's very active, and forces you to misdirect each wave at certain points in order to be able to damage the boss, while still being able to dodge the spray of bullets she sends at you. I like to misdirect the waves upward and diagonally. Alternating sides on each way. That way I can dodge each way in the center and damage Kagerou, effectively capturing the card.
Spellcard 32: Transformation "Star Fang"
So this is the spellcard that gave me the most trouble. Upon my 99+ tries of experimenting, I pondered the idea of my dodging strategy being off. So I decided to do something way out of my comfort zone. Now, it's very common to not want to glue your eyes to your hitbox. And it's not something I particularly do, either. Most of the time I dodge by keeping my eyes glued just a bit ahead of my sprite. But this time I aimed my eyes far away from my sprite, way out of what I would be comfortable with. That way, I'd be able to dodge and look at every bullet with my peripheral vision. Basically. The bullets spawn fast, but appear to slow down with time. If you can locate all the bullets and their path before they get close to you, you can make some pretty interesting dodges. Peripheral vision dodging is not something I find myself having to do in Touhou, well, not to this extreme. But this really did help my dodging skills. I believe that this spell IS best done in the center. While it may be less dense on the side, Kagerou stops in the center. So good luck damaging her if you are a non homing shot on the side.
Spellcard 36: Roar "Howling of the Full Moon"
Now this is an interesting one for me, and one that I still don't fully understand. Obviously, you'll want to stay in the corner. But you won't be able to really be 100% safe, as there is still potential for very tricky set ups. I've noticed that the gigantic white balls spawn before the red bullets come firing at you. I figured you'd want to examine this before the red bullets spawn, so that you could see where the safer gaps are. But as much as I tried, I failed to find any type of reliable pattern. So I just dodged to the best of my ability until I was able to get good RNG and successfully time it out. I'm still convinced that the position of the white balls has to do with where you want to dodge though. So I'm going to keep investigating.
Spellcard 40: Sirius "High-Speed Pounce"
This one is difficult mostly because it requires you to dance around the screen more than you would like to. But once you understand where she moves, and what's going on, you can form a route for this spell. I timed it out as if I were trying to damage her, so that I could get the maximum amount of practice I could from timing the spell out. The hardest part is when the white balls disperse into red bullets. Especially when you're surrounded in the purple bullets that she spawns after each wave. It's scary dodging, but as long as I knew where Kagerou was going, it helped me dodge the bullets as they came without getting too overwhelmed. The places she spawns the white balls is generally static. So knowing where the soft spots beforehand sure helped. It was still difficult though.
I complain about Kagerou a lot. And I truly do think she is the hardest boss in this game. But I don't think she is bullshit. Obviously, you CAN learn her attacks, and there can be some point of consistency with her fight. Kagerou reminds me heavily of EoSD, which is filled with mostly random patterns that are hard to get consistent at. Kagerou's style of patterns really got to me, and I found myself dying way more than I would have liked to for something as early as a stage 3 boss. I found myself losing all of my extra lives and game-overing at Kagerou even when I got to her without dying prior. I believe that one day I'll be able to get some consistency with her fight. But for now, I'll see what I can do. I love DDC. I love doing LNB runs of this game. And I won't let my incompetence at Kagerou ruin it for me. I think I'll grow on her fight. In fact, I already am, just from the timeouts. With more practice, comes more experience. I think I was just mostly shocked that I would find the stage 3 boss of a Touhou game to be the hardest boss of that particular game. Given that there's three more stages above that stage. I will say that Yatsuhashi IS definitely a close second. But I really love Yatsuhashi's fight. Anyway, enough rambling. I hope to achieve a B-shot LNB of this game soon.
-
it requires you to dance around the screen more than you would like to
You don't have to do that, plus you'll be pretty likely to timeout it as SakuyaB or ReimuB. The odd waves are tough as the rings explode too close to the bottom, but the boss wipes nearly all the red bullets when she moves back to the center, so if you stay near the right edge at 1/3 screen length (and out of the boss's way) you can go back relatively easily. The even waves don't fill the bottom with too much bullets, so you can stay at the center for the duration of it.
-
Took a bit, but...the Lunatic 1cc with SakuyaB on DDC. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=30318) I can't find any SakuyaB Lunatic 1cc's...so I'll toss mine into the list and hope to see more. (I would have liked to put this on Youtube, but I lack the necessary equipment. At least I did it before a no-miss or no-bomb 1cc was recorded...) Since that's done, I can stop torturing myself and have fun with DDC again! Now that the most crippling shottype has been through Lunatic, there's nothing this game should throw at me that I can't sufficiently handle. (Slightly barring Kagerou's midboss spell and Yatsuhashi's final spell, since I can deal with those somewhat.)
Had to practice stage 4-6 for hours...finding ways to maximize 2.0 collections, converting bombs to 2.0's, surviving, not getting cheated by Sukuna...and it actually paid off. Now I suppose my next challenge would be no-bomb runs or scoring. You win again, masochism...
The intro to stage three didn't happen. Close your eyes and mute your sound for the first 10 seconds...mistakes were made.

Been a while since I've posted here...
Just Normal 1cc'd DDC. Almost captured Sukuna's final card, she had like 1/32 or less of her health left and I got blindsided by a blue lightball. Oh well, I still won. Hooray for me!
-
Did a no horizontal clear of DDC extra with MarisaB :3
ReimuA (and SakuyaA?) might also be able to clear with this restriction, only did some brief tests with ReimuA and she seems capable of reaching the boss with like 5 extra lives, and nonspells only take 1 bomb each (sitting in the safespots using Sakuyagun might also work I guess).

I'm pretty shocked about this but I actually pulled off the run I wanted so soon! Perfect Cherry Blossom with score 810110780 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=30392)
I've been practising the heck out of the first stage 2 borders (it was originally taking me an entire day of resets to pull off just the first one) and finally they both happened, then the run continued to go unusually well.. I paused and waiting a bunch because I was so excited and didn't want to keep playing and ruin such a good run, also I had pink floyd playing in youtube so the slowdown is more than usual, it didn't feel slower :ohdear: I think that next few things I need to do is get a good st4 route, build up my consistency with st5 and really get my Yuyuko fight stronger. It's great pulling off an extra-specially good run but I feel a little sad that I wont be able to get another .8b for a while.
I don't like to name people individually but there are a lot of people who were really great to me and explained all sorts of details to me or let me watch fantastic runs or replays. Thank you so much!

I actually have. I got 940 million but came short of my goal. I was told a billion would be easy but it was too hard for me :P
I'm sure that Brook-chan can reach it sometime though.
EDIT: Okay, faced with the prospect of being thrown out of my own home if i failed, I actually did manage to break 1b in PCB :V
Only took three times as many tries as LNB did :3

Got DDC in the mail yesterday and after a few attempts, I 1cc'd ReimuA and SakuyaA in easy. (I'm terrible with Marisa in any game)
Surprised myself because I didn't have to grind through the game like I've had to with IN and 10D.
SakuyaA's shot is so satisfying.
-
Timed out Joururi World using SakuyaA with three taps of the shot button worth of knives stuck on a single sister a couple of times. It funny because their danmaku desyncs and once the bouncing spiral pattern is fired from both sisters at once it gets noticeably harder compared to a normal timeout.

YESYESYESYESYES
Oh my god, DDC Extra clear.
All I have to say is fuck me. Some things take too much effort.

Unfocused timeout of Kagerou's 2nd on Lunatic
in 2 attempts, along with some small, and perhaps now obvious observations that would have been nice to know when I was still 1cc'ing the game.
The first wave has a counter-clockwise spin to it, which means the left side of the screen will primarily be composed of bullets coming down from above, as opposed to the right side. The following wave is the opposite (clockwise). Of course, these spots aren't always safe, since there seem to be no way of controlling where the big clumps of bullets (regardless of trajectories) end up. Even so, such movements definitely reduce the chances of getting a bad wave, compared to attempting a speedkill. Staying in the middle is still possible, but you have to hope for decent RNG for it to actually be a speedkill (like the current WR on RF for SakuyaB Lunatic). It should be noted that the player still moves slightly to the left for the first wave, then slightly to the right for the second. Other players in high-scoring replays I've seen at the moment exhibit the same behavior and manage to capture the spellcard. On the other hand, the MarisaB highscore replay always dodges from the left and dies on the second wave (where the assumption is that the right side would have been safer). You can interpret the death as a careless one, but it still counts as one.
In the end, people should go try it themselves and form their own opinion. I have a 14/20 cap history so far, having to dodge 3 waves every capture.
-
I actually survived Benben's second nonspell on Lunatic! It's like a cluster of death approaching my face. I'm damned surprised I managed to slip through that... for once.
I seem to be able to beat Lunatic with good success instead of my luck with SA where It's once every many runs. Last 3 full DDC Lunatic runs have been clears. Now if only stage 3 bosses and on weren't so hard. :V
-
Unfocused timeout of Kagerou's 2nd on Lunatic in 2 attempts, along with some small, and perhaps now obvious observations that would have been nice to know when I was still 1cc'ing the game.
The first wave has a counter-clockwise spin to it, which means the left side of the screen will primarily be composed of bullets coming down from above, as opposed to the right side. The following wave is the opposite (clockwise). Of course, these spots aren't always safe, since there seem to be no way of controlling where the big clumps of bullets (regardless of trajectories) end up. Even so, such movements definitely reduce the chances of getting a bad wave, compared to attempting a speedkill. Staying in the middle is still possible, but you have to hope for decent RNG for it to actually be a speedkill (like the current WR on RF for SakuyaB Lunatic). It should be noted that the player still moves slightly to the left for the first wave, then slightly to the right for the second. Other players in high-scoring replays I've seen at the moment exhibit the same behavior and manage to capture the spellcard. On the other hand, the MarisaB highscore replay always dodges from the left and dies on the second wave (where the assumption is that the right side would have been safer). You can interpret the death as a careless one, but it still counts as one.
In the end, people should go try it themselves and form their own opinion. I have a 14/20 cap history so far, having to dodge 3 waves every capture.
I've always preferred the speedkill, since you only have to survive 1 wave for a capture that way (although the spell seems to have higher hp in spell practice).

At least two of them are deathbombs? Unless you were joking idk. Probably joking because of ;) overdose.
Congrats Cactu!
-
obviously cactu started with extra lives, in which case this score is illegitimate, but even more impressive than your average scorerun since he got it that high with the penalty he gets after each stage.
congratz, cactu.

No, he started with two extra lives (standard). Deathbombs count as deaths in that ending thingy. One deathbomb was during the stage 6 spam but I didn't catch the other one.
The feels when you tackle Sakuya trying to safespot Meek. Pressure sucks. :<

StB and DS (Aya) all-clear!
I started my photo marathon on the 6th with 51/85 scenes cleared in StB after not having played for months (last replays date back to May), although I believe I was just satisfied with clearing 9-1 on that day. The real StB grindfest began on the 10th and a few days later (12th or 13th?), I resumed DS as well, where I had 67/108 scenes for Aya. Fast forward many, many hours, shots and sighs of frustration, I completed my last StB scene (see above) on the 18th (was before I went to sleep, shortly past midnight) and got my last scene in DS (also above) just a few hours ago, resulting in 74 scenes cleared over 10 days and probably my greatest Touhou accomplishment to date! Feeling really satisfied right now. :D
Some stats for those who are interested (not a lot of people, I suppose):
- last 5 scenes cleared in StB were, in that order, ex-6, ex-4, 10-4, 10-5 and 10-8; last 6 scenes in DS were 11-6, ex-3, 11-7, 12-7, ex-5 and 9-4
- Star Sword Apologetics and Pandemonium took by far the longest to clear, with 2942 and 2630 shots, respectively; trailing at a distant 3rd place is Border Between Wave and Particle at 920 (Kinkaku-ji sits at 7th/8th place overall, depending on whether you count my shitty StB 3-1 clear from last year :derp:, Recollection is 4th)
- here's (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhPsq7Zdaq7GdDh5Q2hkcFIwSUZ6czh2LVJ0bjdsZnc#gid=0) a table of all 75 scenes I cleared (including StB 9-1)
Didn't save replays of all of them, but I should have one for most of them. I might upload a vid sometime if I ever get around to recording them and once my internet stops being shit.
So happy. :D
-
So happy. :D
Nice! I remember when I got down to clearing those last scenes in StB and DS...my worst was 1733 for Vague Recollection, nothing else topped 500 shots, and I think only StB 5-5 was in the 300-500 range. Congrats though, all-clearing these is far from a simple task!
Though you do realize there's an extra screen if you all clear DS with both Aya and Hatate...so you should probably get to work on that ;)\
Don't worry though, it's mostly easier, the only one that will make you want to rip your hair out is 10-4.

It won't, it'll make you light up like a christmas tree out of joy. :3
Seriously, that thing becomes a ton of fun with Hatate.
-
Congrats on the new record cactu!
And yeah congrats on clearing all scenes Limian, photo games best games. Hardest scenes for me were by far 12-7 and 9-4.
I did a 4 miss all clear of Suppression by Celestial, could have been deathless but I ended up doing some facepalm-worthy stuff in the last few screens of stage 5 lol. Nice bosses though, I was quite happy about getting Nue's special spell card on the first attempt. Endgame screen said 41:13, I wonder how fast a speedrun would finish.
-
Did a no-focus pacifist run of EoSD with SpoilerAL for unlimited lives. Managed to pacify Cirno, Meiling's last two spells, three Patchouli spells, Killing Doll and Remilia's 2nd card.
Not really impressive however because of rank. I wonder if I can lock the rank at 32 with SpoilerAL...
-
1cced DDC hard mode on my 2nd credit of it ever, when my first was my first time ever playing the game (and I used ReimuB for that, ReimuA for this). Normal was first credit, extra was 3rd. Looking forward to facing off against lunatic-maybe I'll have to develop some stage routes for maximum 2.0s?
Oh, captured You Grow Bigger and Attack on Dwarf that run, felt pretty good. and Seija's final, which is were my first credit failed.
-
Captured Final Master Spark again (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=30476), but this time unfocused and with a more straightforward shot - Marisa. Actually tried it with Alice before that, but timed it out instead :V
-
So I finally fixed DDC after fiddling around in custom,exe (turning the input latency option to "fast" fixed all input lag issues), I then proceeded to do my best DDC lunatic run yet, clearing 4/1: http://www.mediafire.com/?0aqu26cngi9e4fb It feels good to finally stand be able to play this game for real.
-
After taking a short hiatus (mainly because of school), I have been attempting to No bomb MoF normal. Overall, I can get up through stage 3 with little problems, maybe a stupid death. Stage 4 still needs some work, but I have done the game no miss up until Aya. And I'm actually improving on Kanako.
I did a normal no focus run for fun and got the clear, but I'm not all that happy with it (mainly because my keyboard decided to be a dick during Sanae).
I also cleared UFO Normal with ReimuA. Wasn't the most graceful clear in the world. (http://i.imgur.com/QadwRyS.png)
-
Well, about a week ago, I managed to 1cc UFO Normal for the first time. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=30461) The thing that really makes it an accomplishment (In my opinion, anyway)? It was the first time I had even gotten to stage 6.
-
0-life finishes, casual or intentional superplay, are exciting to watch and/or experience in my opinion.
Creeping closer to UFO goal.
-
hmm, "achievements"
well, I beat TH06, TH07, and TH14 on easy modo *cries myself to sleep*
well i almost beat TH07 on normal (got to the final part with miss invincible Yuyuko and died). can't get past Sakuya in TH06. Th14 I haven't actually tried yet, but I think I might be able to do it if I tried. as for Shoot the Bullet, I can't remember where I got to exactly, but I do remember finishing Letty. I think I got to the 4-x rounds? not sure. the save data was on my mom's computer and I have yet to transfer it over to my computer. still. I don't know how you people do this TwT lol.
-
Finally got a 1-miss run of PoFV normal (with Komachi (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=30498), because she's cool).
It's not much, but I'm quite happy with this run.
Keep up the good work, everyone ! :)
-
Starting to get very close to perfect TD stage 6 Lunatic. Just did a 1MNB of it with the miss at Honour the Avoidance of Defiance. Also, Miko's second nonspell is now my least favourite attack.
EDIT: Another L1MNB and death to the same attack.
-
Captured every spell in DDC lunatic (except Yatsuhashi's spells, because I haven't bothered to go through to Stage 4 with a B shot type yet) in less than 20 tries-and all but 5 in 5 or fewer! Special mention goes to Kagerou for having her spells fall in 3, 3, 2 and 2 tries.
edit: and got Yatsuhashi's after bothering to play through with ReimuB. Ummm...first spell=cheese, second spell=beyond my ability (though I lucked through it) and third spell=complete BS. This fight is garbage and I don't understand how anyone could like it.
-
I 1CC all the PC-98 games. (not including HRtP)

Pretty good. Now go grab something similiar on Lunatic mode and sever your ties from the normies.

Aren't you about 27 million points short?
(Nice job on finally getting the run you were aiming for)
-
...and there's the lunatic 1cc of DDC. 3rd try that didn't die in Stage 1 doing reckless things trying to PoC. Honestly...this game is really hard pattern-wise, but really easy to clear because of all the resources you can get. I had 6 2/3s lives no bombs entering Kagerou, and pretty much just bombed everything else in the entire game. Ended up clearing 1/0 because I derped on Sukuna at the end and decided to just bombspam the ending for the clear.
I guess it'll probably be harder if I use someone not named ReimuAwesome, but that spinning gohei is so fun to use :*
Well, time to do silly stuff with normal mode and no bomb the extra just because.
edit: apparently I picked up that lunatic 1cc in less than 5 hours of playing DDC...I thought this game was supposed to be hard?
edit2: DDC lunatic 1cc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNT33x1sdbk) and hardest 3 spells captured by lucky dodges (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRWSLMo1gNE).
-

(Nice job on finally getting the run you were aiming for)
Yeah, I plan to revisit the category to improve my score, especially since the score is very improvable. 2.3 might be a nice number.
-
Aaaaaand I finally did it. Again. 2nd perfect of TD stage 6 lunatic and only because I lost the replay of the first. And it only took me about two and a half weeks and enough runs to "master" Ranks of Twelve Levels and Emperor of the Lad of the Rising Sun. Oh well, least it was mostly fun.
Probably going after DDC stage 6 lunatic perfect now, 'cause I find Sukuna to be of a similar difficulty to Miko. Maybe Captain Murasa instead since its only parts of the stage and that 3rd nonspell to worry about. Speaking of which, is it possible to slow down UFO replays, preferably without doing some stuff with recording software and similar tools? Thanks in advance :D (if anyone bothers to answer that is)

If you're using vpatch, you can hold shift to slow down a replay. It defaults to 30fps, but it seems you can adjust it in vpatch.ini (I think, never tried it myself).

Modifying the file works. Anything below 30 is way too slow though.

Celebrating the autumnal equinox, a replay called "I'm bored".
Actually, it's called Mountain of Bombs, AKA GUYZ I DUN GET IT Y CANT I 1CC MOF NORMUL
Basically, I 1cc Normal while bombing every Spell Card except for the survivals. And even then I sat in the middle of no bullets during Illusionary Dominance and bombed because lololol. And by "bombing every Spell Card", I mean killing myself during two spells at the end of the game to get Power to bomb them.
O NOW I GET IT (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=30534)
This is somehow my best MoF Normal run, and my only successful Youkai Buster run.

Unfocused Greatest Treasure timeout
Then some EoSD practice. Used hacking tools to fix the rank at 32, freezing timers and giving me invulnerability. You know, to pacify things without them actually timing out and without bothersome rank drops ruining my fun. This is a lot of fun so I'm thinking of keeping track of these times. Rules for this challenge are simple. Keep a stop watch or a phone next to you as you play and reset the timer whenever you get hit. This is bound to be a good way to practice for me since I'm not very good at EoSD and I'm hoping to change that somewhat.
Green Storm: 2:30
Emerald Megalith: 1:14 Emerald Megalith i spent some time on though, most pacifist runs ended at 30-40 seconds while some even ended at 10 :V this spell is hard.
Sakuya's first non-spell record is 2:41
Sakuya's second non-spell record: 2:11 on a very good run but most never made it past 30 seconds. Very intense attack. Sometimes I managed some absurd dodging. I am quite sad that this installation doesn't have the replay patch installed :( I'll be sure to have that if i want to break any of these PB's.
Sakuya's third non-spell: 1:02
Killing Doll: 58 seconds but that was pure luck i assure you. That attack on max rank is too stronk for me.
Vampire Illusion: 1:52 minutes
Scarlet Meister: 38 seconds
Scarlet Gensokyo: 2:33 minutes ( i dunno how long a normal timeout is but I assume it's something in that area)
My eyes are getting blurred out now. I was supposed to be in bed at 1am. It's 2:49am now. Patchouli made me hard, Sakuya kept it going and Remilia made me harder. I officially became too hard to convince to get to sleep so i kept playing with these three girls for half the night. Haven't had this much fun with Touhou for a while. :3
-

Nothing is hard with 40 lives and 30,000 bombs.

Totally just 1cc'd SA on Normal
I feel basically so accomplished... now there's only UFO left then I start working on Hard mode...
Though after SA I feel like some of the hard's won't be bad
-
The only games I need to 1CC in hard are UFO and SA. (I just really suck on those games. . .) And just maybe Lunatic will have a calling.
-
DDC:
Extra clear
Hard 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=30546)
I really like the POC system in this game. I had a lot of fun planning out routes to get as many bombs and extends as possible. I could practice a single stage for hours without getting bored. I'm not too proud of my capture rates on the bosses though.
-
Captured Sinking Anchor and Sinkable Vortex on lunatic no vertical :3
-
lol k, just perfected TD Stage 5 Lunatic. Too me about 10 restarts and only 2 of those runs actually got to Futo. Either perfecting Miko has improved my skills massively or Stage 5 is a massive pushover (which it is :V)
Also thanks Karisa and Waahst for the answers :P

First time posting here aside from the LoT thread.
I'm just a novice player who cleared all the games (except HRtP) on normal and cleared EoSD, PCB, TD, and DDC and cleared every extra except SoEW and LLS
Would post some replays but I wrote my real names on them and I really don't like to reveal my real name on forums
Recently cleared DDC hard just a day ago with ReimuA though

EoSD LNB (http://www.twitch.tv/waahst/c/3001471). Tons of stupid mistakes, only cleared because of 1M Remi. Could have been better if I didn't get impatient I guess.
PCB LNB too but wow, game sure is forgiving.
Throw IN LNB on there too. EoSD definitely still the hardest so far. MoF might change things though.
-
Double Dealing Character extra clear, no bombs. No deaths until whatever her 8th spell is called, at which point I died. A lot :V
Definitely going to for the perfect here, just gotta practice up that Blue Lady Show and get slightly better luck on the 8th spell :3 (Also, fun stage is fun)

So I haven't had internet for the past week which meant a lot of my spare time went to touhou.
Finally 1cc'd EoSD lunatic over a month after I cleared hard >.>
Was so difficult because I'm terrible at Remilia for whatever reason. (Went into it with 4 lives 1 bomb and finished with no resources....)
Also perfected PCB extra with Sakuya A, only took a few tries after I finally started capturing Charming Siege consistently (though nerves got the better of me a bunch). Might try and get a pacifist run of it next, though Chen's first spell card is brutal >.>
Will link replay later since posting this from phone.

Managed to do NMNBNBB of Stage 5 in PCB Lunatic no bombs. Rest of the run was a mess. It's been a while and given that this game isn't for some reason half as obnoxious as EoSD when it comes to keyboard glitches I'm hoping to better my personal best which is either 6 or 7 miss, i don't remember exactly. Fun run though, had some hilarious mistakes.
-
NMNB Kanako in practice. Weird how that never happens going into her with two extra lives in LNB. Highlighted on stream anyway for the hell of it.
-
Improved the 9-7 speedrun for the Double Spoiler Individual Levels by 0.05 seconds.
-
Brought the overall time of the DS IL's to sub 44:30.
I believe I've got the best times in 92/108 scenes now +2 tied WR's.
Anyway, I feel that most of the scenes are kinda half-assed and there's still tons of improvements to be made if you like to go for optimization. Better strats are also still possible in quite a few places, but I don't know... I think I'll call it here, 44:20 is the level where I expected the japanese superplayers to be at if they were playing. And I might not have enough swag to get there.
-
EoSD Normal PBs:
(http://i.imgur.com/C9XnI5l.jpg)
No extra bombs/suicides, so e.g. stage 4 is NMNB, stage 6 includes 3 suicides and 13 bombs. I think I can make a few million improvements to most of the stages without a route change, but any more than that and I'm gonna have to level up as a player and look at the game with new eyes... or something.
Scarlet Gensokyo Timeout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrX6dVjpisA)
Done quite a few Scarlet Meister/Scarlet Gensokyo captures back to back, but that's always with a death to something before those so I still haven't NMNB'd Remi, hah. At this point I suppose Remi is basically my beloved waifu arch-nemesis.

Good play.
Remi is best bully.

3-miss SA LNB (http://www.twitch.tv/waahst/c/3040081) out of nowhere. Two silly deaths out of them, so it still fits the motif of my other runs, I guess.
-
I BELIEVE today marks my first NMNB Remilia fight. Which is really fucking shocking. Not a Stage 6 NMNB of course because I had to be stupid with the ring fairies and go unfocused with meekspot.
-
Even though I'm slowly progressing through UFO extra stage up to Yorimasa Genzanmi so far (no clear yet), it made me wonder...
......has anyone actually captured that card by timing it out (without TAS)? I know there have been captures through attacking Nue, but I'm not sure about the timeout part.
(and yes, I'm aware of the < 30 second bs)

Apparently, it's been four years since the release...didn't see any mention of this accomplishment whatsoever. Unless someone actually accomplished it, then I most likely wasn't around when it happened.
-
I'm sure people would have done it by now if it was easier to access.
A lot of it would boil down to luck, though. At least for me, since consistently reading all of it felt very much impossible to my eyes. A lot of the younger generation seems to have faster reflexes and reading precision, though, so we could assume someone who had trained themselves on that aspect a lot would end up finding it possible.

Got a 43:39 Double Spoiler any%! I felt like I played really badly for a lot of it, failures were as follows:
2-6 deathphoto going for 2nd shot, 3-6 right at the start, 4-2 going for the 3rd shot, 4-5 twice (deathphoto going for final shot, right after first shot), 5-2 after 1st shot, lots of derping on 5-4 but no death, twice to 5-6 3rd shot (wut), 6-2 right before the 4th shot, 6-4 was 4th try, rammed Yuugi once on 6-5, failed 6-6 at the last shot (whaaaaat), failed 7-5 at the last shot, 8-2 on the 4th, 3rd and 3rd shots, 8-3 was shenanigans 4th try (2 early deaths and one after 3 shots), a silly 8-8 death after 1 photo, SOMEHOW died to 10-1, died a few times to 11-8 near the end, death 3 shots into EX-2, SP-2 2nd try, SP-6/Tengu Flyby 3rd try (2 early fails), SP-8 I lost about a minute.
20 scenes weren't first try. 47 were. It's progress.

also sukuna's finisher is fun and beautiful and glorious and it is a shame that a lot of her other attacks are bad

I'll look over it again, but I think I accidentally NMNB'd MoF stage 4 while focusing the entire time (for the challenge). On easy, but given how much trouble I was having with stages 2 and 3 and had with stage 5, I count it as an accomplishment. I know for a fact I didn't die.
I'm eventually going to unlock the extra stage for that game properly; I played a little of it and it was FUN
EDIT: While I didn't completely do Stage 4 without bombs (I used one bomb on the last big fairy before Aya), I still didn't die. I'm happy about that, even if the rest of the run was crap. (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/81413272/Touhou/MoF/th10_02.rpy)

Timed out all Okuu's scenes in DS no photo.
Huh, I was doing that with 8-8 a couple days ago. The misdirection involved with the strategy I found was pretty fun. Never actually managed to get it, but then again I only tried for a few minutes before just going and capturing it a few times for additional DS practice.
uhhh....uh....DDC MarisaA and MarisaB hard clears? I like MarisaB, the missiles dealt much better damage then needle Reimu without really sacrificing coverage, and the bomb is hilarious and rather fun to use, with the siting in the safezone during it.
-
Yeah, it's almost a shame that 8-8 can be trivialized with application of strategy. Anyways here's a video of the relevant Okuu stuff (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBizsoNnjtY).
And indeed, MarisaB's bomb is great, much fun and ownage.

Hmm. Mystic Square Extra 203 million. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI76BdcbfbY
No sound because I'm a derp face.
Now I'm considering some lower difficulty scoring in this game again, and perhaps Lunatic NMNB.

Captured Social Upheaval Requiem (lunatic, DDC 4B SC3) with MarisaB. Took 36 tries. Unsurprisingly, the more I look at certain cards the more I figure out that there is a reasonable way of dealing with the pattern-first DS 9-7, and now this. I would have expected staying high would be helpful, but instead I dodged slightly above starting level. Well, I guess it's time to start working on testing for no vertical DDC...should be interesting :3
-
Finally finished UFO 1cc on Normal.
That's 6-14 1cc'd on Normal... On to hard modo I guess. I've 1cc'd 6 on Hard, so I think I'm gonna repractice 6 until I can do it again then go 7,8,13,10,14,11,12.
-
I don't see a 9 in there.
-
I don't see a 12.8 in there.
-
Well, I actually hate 9, I just don't get how it works...
I have beat 12.8 on Normal though, forgot to include it.
-
How about 7.5, 10.5, and 12.3? They're 1cc-able.

Boring and not shmup, but that's one man's opinion.
Well, I actually hate 9, I just don't get how it works...
Edit: Games I can't clear by spamming X are too hard for me, so you're not the only one that dislikes it. However, I would like to point out that players who are good at Phantasmagoria games also happen to be really good in general. It's the best way to learn how to dodge stuff, or something.
-
Boring and not shmup, but that's one man's opinion.
And although I disagree, I can respect that. (Plus I also forgot 13.5. Whoops.)
-
Well, I actually hate 9, I just don't get how it works...
You kill the things, dodge the bullets and instead of bombing, charge up a level 2 to cancel the nearby bullets. Level 3/4 charges are pretty much never worth using, in my experiences. When you use a Level 2 charge attack, try to be higher on the screen to cancel as many bullets as possible raising the combo, resulting in getting boss attacks off of score quicker.
Honestly, it's not that hard to get used to but until you do, it's one of those games that seems impossible unlike PoDD which actually is impossible
-
I have 1cc LLS on hard even if i lost carelessly some lives... plus, i almost won against reimu without losing too much lives :

-
I just don't find the split screen and system fun or interesting...
but that's me. I also don't tend to bomb spam. When I was keeping track of the bombs I didn't use for EoSD Hard, even for my 1cc I missed using 11 bombs.

I just cleared normal DDC with SakuyaA without autobomb patch. Stage 1-4 went very smoothly, stage 5 was a bit terrible, but final stage was pretty fine I guess although I screw up multiple times.
Edit: Oh shit, I just 1cc'd EoSD on normal blind run :o
-
reached seven stones in mof extra
Do it better or I'll come after you, you secondary!
-
I reached the second half of the extra stage in IN. that was amazing.
-
Oh so it's that game we are playing.
Well, in that case I made it all the way to the gates of... actually nevermind. Lost my courage anyway when i saw how many adults there were on top of realizing how unconvincing my icecream van looks.
In other news, I was practicing Kogs and managed to live through 3 minutes of dodging her 2nd spell before i lost my concentration and got hit. I believe there's no more reason to practice this attack. Also survived 1.5 minutes of third spell but that's in no way remarkable. Not that the previous is but it's something for poor little me who can never do anything right. :3
At this rate, badass run might happen. Probably. Maybe. Ish. Keep grinding until i can survive all UFO attacks for 3 minutes. Yeah okay. No. Fuck i haven't had anything noteworthy to report in forever. Someday I'll change this. As soon as Laura pays back what she owes.
-
Got a DDC Lunatic No-Focus 1cc, with ReimuB
The run went mostly okay, I got to Kagerou with max lives, and died only twice, stage 4 ended the same way, Seija was when the run pretty much devolved into bombspam anything even remotely dangerous, except Sukuna's last non and big hitbox card (which I -had- to capture to get the last extend), and cleared 0/2.
Also, just before this run I put a credit on the auto-bomb patch and turns out I didn't depend on it as much as I thought, got a perfect Sekibanki, captured Yatsuhashi's second spell and Seija's third so there's that too I guess.
-
I finally did it. I finally beat StB 9-6. I don't even know how, only been stuck on that scene for like a year now. (1724 pictures taken total on that scene) My hands are still shaking from that.

UFO LNB. (http://www.twitch.tv/waahst/c/3112218)

In order of completion:
My 1CCs on Normal: 6 (Marisa B), 11 (Reimu B and Marisa B), 9 (Marisa), 12 (Sanae A), 13 (Reimu and Sanae), 12.8 (Route A2), 14 (Sakuya A and Marisa A), 10 (Reimu C)
Still not 1CCed: 7 (Easy cleared, Stage 6 as Sakuya A), 8 (Stage 6A as Marisa & Alice).
Completed Extra Bosses: Flandre, Koishi, Mamizou and Raiko.
Not planning to finish anything on Hard 'til I 1CC everything, at least. However, Reisen's Spell Cards are unthinkable, I just can't pass them without losing at least 1 life.
-
Got another Easy mode 1CC under my belt; SA ReimuB :derp:
This one took a lot of effort especially Utsuho's cards.
That makes 10 1CC's, hooray!
DDC - ReimuA, ReimuB, SakuyaA
10D - Reimu, Sanae
SA - ReimuB
IN - all four teams

TD LNB, Raymoo. Use of Trance makes it ok. No trance sounds hard as hell. (http://www.twitch.tv/waahst/c/3122871)
DDC LNB, SakuyaA. Knife abuse. (http://www.twitch.tv/waahst/c/3122898)
Felt like those two didn't need much of a push to make possible. Nothing went right and it still happened. GFW next, maybe.
-
Good stuff. I expect that GFW takes about 30 minutes. It's a very easy LNB.
As for myself, have a bit of cool dodging in practice mode because I'm a fag :V
JKogasa's second spell survived on Lunatic for three minutes. Third spell survived for 1.5 minutes (died stupidly) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUbCWXO1pAA)

Why the hell is your high score 5 and why was there a "J" at the front of that hyperlink :getdown:
I assume zengeku modified the game. the 5 is not his highscore, but his deaths.
as for the J: presumably a typo. K and J are next to each other on a qwerty keyboard, after all.

Yeah, the game was modified to make me invincible. Everytime I get hit, the counter increases.

Just a little ago I cleared the extra stage of IN for the first time. Well I used every savespot I could find but at least I won.

PCB Hard 1CC (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6_ABKtLcy8)
After not playing any Touhou for a few weeks, I decided to pick back up at trying to 1CC Hard in every game. All I gotta say is good thing I was Reimu, as this 1CC features 8 death bombs and numerous abuses of Reimu's smaller hitbox lol.
-
I played some EoSD extra today and I actually cleared it on my first try. I've cleared it before, but this time I captured some spellcards I've never captured before. I captured "Cranberry Trap", "And Then Will There Be None?" and most importantly: I captured Maze of Love!! This spellcard has always been a huge problem for me. Q.E.D is now the only spellcard I haven't captured.

I finally made it to stage 9. It was everything I expected it to be. Also, this was going through my mind. (http://youtu.be/EaKDOYTZbJg?t=29s) :justasplanned:
Everything was there; the atmosphere created by the music, that feeling of a much faster pace and the relentless storms of reflected bullets/boss attacks. Seriously, I swear in that one life I had, Yumemi didn't reflect any bullets that weren't in a ridiculous storm of undodgeableness......PoDD is truly wonderful :D
-
PoDD Reimu 1cc!
The score was not high enough to appear on my high score board though.

FW A1 Hard clear. It's good to know that I can finally at least do this much with this game. I feel kinda bad that I'm saying Hard and not Lunatic. This game is way harder for me than it should be. I just can't get comfortable with the freezing - I really, really don't like charge attacks in my STGs. That said, with how shitty I am at using ice effectively, I guess this means my dodging has gotten slightly better? I guess that's something to be happy about, so I will be. I don't think I'll bother with the other routes, since clearing 6 times is somewhat tedious and not something I really feel like doing. Might do Extra or Lunatic A1 if I ever come back to this game.
Oh, I also did an all gold medals run on Easy A1 earlier. It was somewhat on a whim, I really wasn't expecting to cap every spell in one run. It was kinda fun. Normal was more fun, but some stuff was just too hard for me. This game could do with a practice mode.

Oh no, did I miss the show? :munch:
EDIT: Thought I was only 20 minutes late, turns out I'm an hour and 20 minutes late because Daylight Saving Time >:( But I'm with Wriggle on this one, freezing was less fun than the scenes in StB/DS that just required you to time your pictures correctly so you didn't actually need to dodge anything of real difficulty.
-
Your definition of fun needs work.
-
Meh, I supposed I'm slightly biased towards disliking GFW because I couldn't do well in it since I couldn't get a good grasp of the controls and refused to play on anything below Hard. This was at the time when my only lunatic 1cc was IN, so Hard was probably too much to learn the game from. Though I never had that kind of problem with controls on the phantasmagorias or the photography games . Also, my everything needs work :derp:
EDIT: Back on topic of achievments: Gaiz, 2day I got to PoDD stage 2 with 400k points :colonveeplusalpha:
-
Good thing about GFW is Cirno, Sunny and Magus Night. The freeze system is horrible and you have to micromemo everything for a simple 1cc (or else you won't manage your ice correctly and will have a shitstorm on your face with no way to survive besides bombing if you happen to have one). And the Extra stage portion is horribly boring and despite Marisa seeming fun I don't feel like memorizing every spot of the stage portion just to reach her 10 minutes afterwards. So while there's no GFW Boss Rush, no Marisa for me. :V
and have mercy zengy, i'll stop agreeing with maze that ufo sucks :(
-
Play. At. 90fps.

UFO sucks.

you have to micromemo everything for a simple 1cc (or else you won't manage your ice correctly and will have a shitstorm on your face with no way to survive besides bombing if you happen to have one).
I can't even begin to grasp how someone seriously forms an opinion like this.
-
Oops, looks like I derailed the topic. I should hide before a mod shows up
and starts discussing GFW as well.
:V
PoDD is going very well now. Made it to Yumemi with 4 lives. First life went really well and survived for about 4 minutes but Yumemi remained unhit. Second and fourth life were poop. But third made it to Yumemi on half heart and my first hit of that round was due to flying into a cross because I was anticipating it would disappear in time. It didn't. This 1cc is getting so close that I can lick it. Tastes like glory and strawberries.
-
Yeah let's talk about how awesome PoDD is. I got 13 million from stage 1 without getting hit or bombing. It was awesome alright.
(http://i.imgur.com/sNFcmuD.jpg)
-
GFW. Managed to get some more gold medals. 8/11 medals in one run on A-1. Unfortunately I cannot dodge so I failed to handle the last three. I'd like a run that golds everything but the final spell, that would be acceptable though a full gold run would be nice. This is just on Hard mode of course. If I could dodge, I would do Lunatic but some of that stuff is just no.
The freeze system is horrible and you have to micromemo everything for a simple 1cc (or else you won't manage your ice correctly and will have a shitstorm on your face with no way to survive besides bombing if you happen to have one).
Okay. That is not true. The game is very easy and very forgiving. Chances are you'll 1cc it before you get anything remotely micromemorized.
and have mercy zengy, i'll stop agreeing with maze that ufo sucks :(
Aww, there's no way I could not have mercy for you.
-
God dammit I'm playing this game and it's all your fault.
Got a round that reached Yumemi after what must have been a decade. Reimu but whatever-the-fuck, I can't do anything right in this game. Lost a life to Stage 5 Ellen but lost none to Stage 6 Reimu and Stage 7 Mima, which I'm really grateful for. Except I died three times to Chiyuri. I really should have taken her down on the second round but, and this may surprise you - I'm fucking bad at this game. I actually did well against Yumemi and had her on her final hit for a pretty long while but this game is unclearable and all, so I got wall of death'd.
Still taking this over two deaths to Stage 1 Marisa, or a full wipeout to Stage 4 Kana.
-
Well I failed a run of IN on Lunatic. I made it all the way to Life Spring Infinity... and forgot how it worked and died instantly. That'll teach me not to try playing this game without remembering how to do all of the spells. :V
The shining moment of that run, though? Capturing Tele-Mesmerism. I think it was some kind of combination of luck and I don't know what else.

So I somehow failed to beat Raiko with ReimuB.
So I played another credit, died twice to Joururi World...and never died again. Even managed to capture 8th Drum, Blue Lady Show and Pristine Beat all in a row, which felt pretty good. I suppose just chaining together that ending and my no bomb run of the stage gives me the perfect...but I know I sort of fluked into it since Blue Lady Show still gets me at the 5 second mark frequently.
Ah well, it was still fun and good general dodging practice.
Oh also figured out a way to get an extra life before the extra stage 'title' shows up with MarisaB and 1 bomb :V

Reached Stage 7 on PoDD. Didn't score second extend however because if i start scoring, I can hardly reach stage 4. I guess i should incorporate scoring in earlier stages.
Can't risk doing that late in though because when i was fighting Kana in stage 6, i got knocked down to my last hit like immediately, not due to any of her attacks but due to getting hit by an enemy that didn't die quickly enough from my fire, something i found to be rather irritating and worth dropping the game over but you have to pick a game up before you can drop it so I'll let that slide. Oh and i got hit by the fireballs too. Basically i got hit by everything but what Kana did. What a dumb little girl. She even took herself out almost immediately as to not punish me for my mistakes with the fucking stage hazards.
God i would kill for some good autofire here. Also, i might wanna go drill opponents in match mode so i can learn their boss attacks because some of these things are just shot at me at close range with lolno kinda density and speed and you're instantly convinced that to say that this game is pure dodging is utter bullshit, it's more like randomly selected things you need to have learned how to do beforehand with someone throwing snowballs and enemies in there hoping to make things impossible. Well, idk that makes it random i guess but also dumb ;3
Anyway, i've said my piece. Making progress with this kusoge, one day i'll have learned enough to 1cc it but i'm not serious with this, i'd rather play other things.

This happened a few weeks ago, but I had pretty much no time between then and now.
I tried a random DDC Extra run at school and the first attempt where I stopped restarting because of derp at the beginning of the stage, I made it to Alternate Sticking. I had only made it to Land Percuss in my previous runs. Pretty much the only time I've actually played Touhou since the week DDC came out the end of August, so I was surprised.
-
Ahhhh, the taste of glory and sweet, sweet strawberries. Now that Marisa is done, time to use Chiyuri :V. Anyone know what the 96 means?
[attach=1]
EDIT:Notable oddities in this run include:
-a no death Chiyuri fight
-Yumemi's first 2 rounds being suspiciously easy and both ending on half a heart for her
-Yumemi's 3rd round ended in about 10 seconds due to a boss attack/gauge attack that hit me 4 times.
-
It's a ranking of some kind. Seems to be lower if you die a lot and higher if you score well or something. Really it makes no sense.
And congrats!
-
Well done
-
So I decided that DDC would be way funner if I LNB'd it with the good shots, and I was right.
I did a second DDC LNB with ReimuA. It was 11 misses. A one miss improvement on my first one (which had 12 misses).
I have a lot to improve on, as you can tell. But I think I can consistently no bomb this game with ReimuA.
I'll work on ReimuB on the side as well. But I figured that ReimuA in DDC is sort of like ReimuA in SA. It's just a really good shot. And I shouldn't question the legitimacy of the run just because of the shot I used.
I find that DDC is actually really, really with with shots like ReimuA who can handle most of the stuff. So I plan to keep trying to improve my runs.

UFO Hard 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31003) This felt much more difficult than the other hard 1ccs I've done. The LFS capture was the cherry on top of the cake for this run.
Also, MoF Hard 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31004). Got this run right after the UFO 1cc. Kanako's final scared me from 1ccing the game earlier, but I had enough lives to bomb through it without trouble.

Congratulations to everyone who's better at PoDD than the PoDD expert, who knows the game so well he doesn't bother trying.
But really. :toot:

By the way Jovial I think your resolution is distorted, judging from the screenshots.

I play using Anex 86 on fullscreen on a 1920x1080 monitor with the "Use 640x400" option off. That causes black bars to appear at the top and bottom of the screen but to take a screenshot I have to go out of fullscreen and that window is stretched to take up as much of the screen as possible but has no black bars. That might be why. I also cropped those images quite a bit then resized to fit the 640x480 image limit on these forums though I kept the original ratios for the resize. Since I can't take a screenshot in fullscreen I can't really show what it looks like when I'm playing >.<
-
Well if it's fullscreen then I think it's guaranteed to be right. In any case you can easily check by just seeing if something like Reimu yin-yangs are circular or elliptical. :v

It's possible to take a screenshot in anex86, by creating a savestate (Alt+F1, or any other function key except F4 apparently), which adds an image to the anex86 folder. I've done that plenty of times.
It'll be a .bmp file, though, so you'll have to convert it if you prefer that your screenshots not take an excessive amount of time to load. Then again, screenshots in Touhou 7+ require you to do that as well anyway.

1st PoFV lunatic 1cc :D (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31015)
I'd say I'm very satisfied with this one, since I don't find it too ugly, unlike my usual 1st 1cc's (or maybe it's just that my standards are lower for PoFV, don't know) :3
-
Managed to reach Strawberry Hibachi in PoDD with two extra lives. Couldn't clear though. Still lots to learn about this game. Reaching her is hard because most of the bosses early on give me a hard time. Maybe I'll be good enough one day to clear this but until then; God damn this thing is impossible :V
I'm convinced that a vanilla clear of this is harder than any LNB in Touhou aside from the game itself obviously.

20/25 Spell caps. Slowly improving my runs. Still using ReimuA though, but she makes this game so fun! :3
-
Where's your integrity you fag
-
DDC Ex clear on all shottypes. Nothing better to do while there isn't a good keyboard around. Rubberdomes are so yucky now.
Where's your integrity you fag
Better thank Sakuya :V
-
Played some PoDD in anticipation for the PoDD tournament week over at shmups and 1cc'd with Ellen and Mima.
So that makes all characters lunatic 1cc'd. o/
Been meaning to do that for ages.
-
Made it to PCB Stage 4 on Normal with no continues! PROGRESS!
...past that I can't do much without bomb-spam though :,<

Being just slightly beyond that point myself, good going! I think Primsrivers are the biggest obstacle for a successful run, so bombspamming through their battle may be forgiven. The stage before them and the final two stages after them can be learned rather easily, so as long as you can exit their battle with enough resources left, you can reach the end with little problem. Just keep at it, and you can do it. We can even race to that 1cc. I can even give you a few months of a head start ;)
-
222/222 spells captured in IN with Reimu and Yukari because grumpyshrinemadden-lazyoldhag superiority. Hourai Jewel is probably my favourite of the bunch. "Oh look, a streaming attack for a final. How underwhelming." *3 seconds later* "Help meeeeeee
Eirin."
Hourai Elixir deserves special mention for being my other favourite, though admittedly I'm a sucker for attacks that use slowdown.
-
I only open the game up once or twice a week, so I'm not trying too hard I guess.
Curvy lasers suck tho

StB 7-5 no charging clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31040)
Next step: no photo timeout :V

The Prismrivers are also where I tend to fall apart. If I can get the hang of Merlin's nons, I'll be good to go.

Captured Remilia's "Scarlet Gensyoko" on Hard on my first time seeing it ever.
Now if only I could get there without using a continue.
-
Finally beat Utsuho! I've now 1cc'd Touhou 1-11 on Normal :)
-
after about 3 months of using school computer to play touhou while in middle of classes along with playing at home, finally I have successfully survived Kanako last spell card and 1cc'ed the game on normal modo! (while at school) :toot:
to be normal 1cc'ed list: EoSD, SA, UFO, TD, DDC
not sure why so many people says MoF is the easiest, for me Kanako last spell card is just pure BS, and other stage is not much easier, for me the order of difficulty is: (from easier to harder)
PCB->IN->MoF->EoSD->TD->DDC->SA->UFO
with PCB normal I don't even need to concentrate to 1cc it.
-
Bullied some people's spell card scores over at http://www33.atpages.jp/nibomb264/th14spell/ (?・ω・`)
Tried some consistency stuff and captured Kagerou's last spell on lunatic 7 times in a row with ReimuB! I'm doing the bottom of the screen strat for quicker kills.
Found some more secret techniques regarding scoring in DDC (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qofZ-TL2YzM)
That's all from me for a while, gonna travel a bit again, I'll be back in about 2 weeks, so don't nag on me about the dodging like a boss next week pls (?；ω；`)
-
I finally got another perfect easy run! I did with Alice on IN, and during a livestream too! Yes, I did catch all of Kaguya's Last Spell! :toot:
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31070
I'll be recording this later. :)
-
Finally 1cc'ed lunatic SA after smashing my face into rage restarts for the last 4 hours, making that now 6 of the windows shmups now including PoFV.
Been going in order so far for the windows games(I will revisit the PC-98 ones when I am better), making UFO next. Time for pain.
-
Well, that escalated quickly (http://i.imgur.com/SiAaEAX.jpg)
At least I now know the exact hitbox of these electric-projectiles. Still not quite sure about how they move.
-
I managed to get a score of 720208370 on PCB Hard.
I'm not a score player or anything, but suddenly being able to increase your high score by about 100000000 is always a nice birthday present, even if just playing for survival.

Here's the video for my latest replay.

Nice job! Are you considering doing Lunatic no bomb runs of any other games?
-
i dont know. it's rare for me to have time to play a game. despite me calling mountain of faith no bomb easy it still took me a week from almost clearing to clearing it. but i guess it's fun to consider how one can run through a game without bombs
maybe i'll try another game, any suggestions for easy no bombs to learn?
-
PCB and TD are both pretty simple games to NB. PCB especially because of the massive amounts of borders you get. ( If you do PCB you should try no border breaks or at least no manual/intentional border breaks). And Ten Desires is extra fun if you take away manual Trance. (Death trances allowed, since they are unavoidable.)
Or, you could do SA, IN or EoSD, which are straightforward without many gimmicks.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/xCgbXXs.jpg)
Aww yeah - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpRYI532Bmo
More people ought to play this game. Like really.
-
I tried this game, but couldn't last longer than 5 minutes.
My brain is too slow. :ohdear:
-
I could say the same. Only 6 million here. I wonder if it's just me or the game doesn't always register your swaps.
I'm not a fast clicker either.
-
I almost 1CC every touhou game in Hard mode. ( I just need DDC, HRtP, SA, and UFO.)
-
Double Dealing Character 7-Miss No Bomb (ReimuA of course).
23/25 captures as well! Only failed two spells! Benben's last spell and Shinmyoumaru's Second spell of all things... (Yeah, this could have easily been a 5-miss had I not died stupidly twice to Shinmyoumaru). But it's a new PB, so I'm not complaining.
-
Double Spoiler 108 scene PB, finally! My old best was 2:27:45, no splits, so I raced a run that choked away a PB in Stages 8-10 (2:33:0x). Keep that in mind.
(http://i.imgur.com/leopIna.png)
Notable first tries: 6-5, 7-2, 7-3, 7-7, 9-4, 10-7, 11-2, 11-5, 11-6, 11-8, 12-4, 12-6, 12-8
Notable disasters: 6-6, 7-1, 8-7 (71 shots...), 9-3, 9-8, 10-5, 10-6, 10-8, 11-1
Other things of note: 2nd try 9-6, 34 shot 9-7 (bad for me), 2nd try 10-(1-4), 2nd try 12-2 uber method (!), 2nd try 12-7, 7 failures total in Extra, 2 failures total in Spoiler!
-
Cleared all Touhou Shmup games (6-14) in 1CC Normal difficulties.
All games cleared in one try (not blind though) except SA (Which require 5 just to 1CC).
-
Wow, I accidently captured Pristine Beat on my first try during spellcard practice :3 Working on DDC extra 1cc, please wait warmly~
-
So today I randomly decided to give MoF stage 4 a few tries, since I'd recently been going for a perfect of it. Then somehow I (also randomly) pull out that perfect though there were quite a few lucky dodges and Momiji was being a bad doge. Need to find a new goal now :<
-
I finally managed to 1CC SA Hard. And I finally managed to beat Koishi.
That's one more game off the list. :3
-
Was about to go to sleep, but decided to do one more stage practice run... and captured "Misayama Hunting Shrine Ritual" and "Miracle of Otensui"! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31144) Finally, I have all MoF Easy spellcards captured.

Double Dealing Character Extra NMNB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31145)
VERY unfinished business. I originally tried to do this with MarisaB, and have over 100 attempts at it so far. But after switching to ReimuA, I got it within a few attempts. I'll probably do this again with MarisaB in the future just so that my 100 attempts didn't go in vain.
Now if only I could get that ReimuB LNB, I'd be satisfied with DDC. Oh, well I guess I need to try 1bil ReimuA DDC Lunatic too... So many choices.
-
^Wow, nice. Now I can watch a good replay of DDC NMNB extra with ReimuA, something which I aims for right now :3
-
Cleared the extra stage of PCB in one try, then cleared the extra stage of IN also in one try. Yesterday was a happy day
-
Marine Benefit Lunatic No Bomb 1cc. Will be uploaded to Youtube later.
Haven't played the game in months, and booted it up to see if I could LNB it. And I actually pulled through.
Is it me or has Mikoto gotten a LOT easier than she used to be. I almost perfected her fight.
-
I suddenly managed to 1cc GFW route A-1 on Lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31165), something I didn't expect to happen until after playing much more Touhou.
But I'm really happy with it anyway, since it is my first Lunatic 1cc.
But that leads to a question:
Is GFW Lunatic A-1 that easy?
-
I have finally beat Remilia on Hard yay o
in practice mode
(http://i.imgur.com/yqo4BzV.jpg)
-
1cc'd Ten Desires for the first time with two lives to spare!
-
As of this year, my Touhou playing style seems to have shifted to "Play only once in a while and somehow get personal achievements almost every single time"
And today it happened. Started up DDC and died once to the first few fairies. Retried again and...
...Hard mode 1CC on SakuyaA!
I'm still rather shocked something like that managed to happen especially with barely any practice and my previous record being up to stage 5. This also happens to be the third game I'm 1CC'ing on hard mode (after PCB and TD). EoSD, IN and MoF still give me problems at stage 5 or 6 whenever I try then and SA/UFO are out of the question for the moment (can't even get past Stage 4 and 3 respectively). I think it might be partially due to being more cautious with bombing when you know you don't have that much practice that gets me these runs. In any case, third Hard mode 1CC :)
-
As of this year, my Touhou playing style seems to have shifted to "Play only once in a while and somehow get personal achievements almost every single time"
You remind me a lot too. My IN and TD Normal 1cc both came after a long hiatus. I didn't remember the stages or much patterns, but I just did. Now I'm grinding DDC like hell and still don't feel good enough for a 1cc.
On topic: I captured Kagerou midboss spell on Hard, which slow streaming seems to work. On Lunatic......at least I got to understand why people once thought it was the hardest thing ever in Touhou.

Lunatic NMNB MarisaA Patchouli. Stage portion was 1MNB. No points for guessing where the death was. MarisaA is the best :D
-
Been grinding MoF lately, and now I can add Easy NB to my achievements. Here's my best run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31190)
Everything usually goes smoothly and I can perfect everything... except those last three spellcards. Usually they require at least one death each, despite my best efforts. Not fun. Been considering trying pacifist, but with those around, not a chance. Might do it stage by stage, though. Later, anyway, I'm tired of them for now.
Had quite a lot of advancement everywhere else too. In particular, got quite farther on Hard. I always at least reach Aya now, and a few times got to stage 6. Didn't unlock it even with continues though, but got close. Got better at a lot of spellcards. Notably, at Nitori's - got the tricks behind "Diluvial Mere" and "Trauma in the Glimmering Depths", learned to read "Flash Flood"-style ones properly and stopped being afraid of "Monster Cucumber" and "Exteeeending Aaaaarm" so I guess my shirikodama is safe now.
Now that I'm done with this hell of small bullets for now, time to see how it helped my abilities in other games.
-
TD arrange lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31189). :V
Someone pls mod IN, EoSD and UFO and give them the MoF/SA power/bomb system so that I can 1cc those. pls!

NMNB Lotus Land Story Extra. Very fun.
-
NMNB SA Stage 4. I swear, once I learned how to do the end of that streaming, DBDB somehow clicked. I'm sure I have like 5 consecutive captures in about 60-70 attempts now :derp:
Oh well. I'm thinking stage 6 now. Stage 5 can go to hell for having Cat Walk in it :V
-
if you can NMNB stage 4, stage 6 shouldn't be too hard for you. I never managed stage 4, but found 6 rather easy.
-
I got to Flan without dying and I made it to Counter Clock despite some really bad derp yaaay~
-
1CC'd EOSD Normal for all characters. Now it's time for hard mode!
-
Managed a timeout of DDC cirno's spell with 2430 graze :3 I sure hope the japanese superplayers will make a scoring run with this strat soon. It feels totally non-bullshitty regardless of boss movement RNG (albeit very difficult during certain RNG, but nothing harder than the Ichirin grazes I'm sure). Also improved one of the DS IL speedrun thingies (9-5). Maybe I should move to the blogging thread instead.
-
EoSD Easy NMNB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31222)
I can do an Easy NB clear with just a few mistakes no problem, but this one is my first no-miss. Funny thing is that, right before this, I was about to accept a run that was worse than usual and just be done with it, but it seemed like the game itself revolted and crashed instead of showing ending. This turned out for the better, though, it seems.
-
hey guys I'm back I perfected mof stage 3 lunatic ok bye (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdWAn1Uvcy4)
The only thing I have to say about this is...Kappa
-
So I just cleared PCB Extra. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31258)
120 FPS.
-
I made it to stage 2 once today :D (http://i.imgur.com/1t01PIn.png)
-
Just cleared 9-2 on Shoot the Bullet. Only 9-1 and 9-6 left. After that I can finally move on to Stage 10.
-
I'm glad I got that 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31298), though I'm a bit disappointed by the score. Oh well, I'll improve that later when I learn how to get consistent at it. For now, I'll just try to unlock Eiki :3
EDIT: Eiki unlocked, my reaction to playing her after hours of playing Yuka: she is moving WAY too fast :o
-
Oh so many achievements, I need to play Touhou more :V
Anyway take my little achievement :)

There's a reason I think that juggling games around is a very important advice. It's because general STG skill is a thing, and when you're back to a game and can do far better than last time you played, the feeling is awesome.
How awesome, you ask? I captured Wriggle's Lunatic Last Spell so effortlessly that I didn't think to save a replay. And then I discovered it was my second time doing that overall, and remebered that last time I found it too hard to read.
So, now I come here with a whole heap of newly captured spellcards. All of them I considered too hard to capture in the past. All of them are too awesome to leave unmentioned. Here they are (Lunatic unless specified):
- "Demon Binding Ring" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31305)
- "Asteroid Belt" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31306) - second time, but now I actally know the trick how to do it properly
- "Mind Stopper" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31307)
- "Genealogy of the Sky-Born" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31308)
- "Omoikane's Brain" (Hard) (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31309) - Lunatic version is easier!
- "Apollo 13" (Hard) (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31310) - by pure reading
- "Apollo 13" (Lunatic) (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31311) - finally found a pattern
- "Rainbow Danmaku" (Normal) (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31312) - couldn't pass between circular bullet streams before, so still awesome
- "Heaven Spider's Butterfly-Capturing Web" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31314) - unlocked and captured in one sitting
- "Paschal Moon-Reflecting Satellite Slash" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31315)
Also, here's a bit older replay of "Ephemerality 137" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31304) capture I could only do thanks to Marisa destroying a few familiars each wave. Can't do it normally yet.
Last, but not least, my Extra Stage (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31313) run that got all the way to "Fujiyama Volcano". My previous best ended four spellcards earlier. I didn't touch IN for a few months, and never even practiced Extra Stage spellcards yet. If this isn't the sign of skill, I don't know what is.
-
HOLY CRAP HOW DID I GET THIS FAR (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31321)

EoSD Lunatic Patchy NMNB first try today as ReimuB, after spending weeks grinding UFO. Still can't read those damn books though unless my rank was shit beforehand.
-

Future "Gods' Realm" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31338) captured. Finally got the trick behind this one. (That, and Remi has awesome firepower.)
-
TD Perfect Lunatic Stage 6! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31341)
This kinda just happened really, I died only to Miko's penultimate spell on a practice run and figured I might as well go for perfect, and got it on my 3rd try :D
-
Lunatic NMNB Kogasa with a timeout of Monster Train (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31346) (boss rush patch)
Just a little diversion from lunatic 1cc attempts. All three of Kogasa's spells are pretty fun to play against.
-
TD Perfect Lunatic Stage 6! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31341) ... got it on my 3rd try :D
...Took me about 220 tries :qq:
-
"Blind Nightbird" , "Emperor of the East" and "Stare of the Hazy Phantom Moon (Lunatic Red Eyes)" captured. Now, if Wriggle could go easy on me...
-
"Fantasy Seal -Blink-" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31349) finally cracked. With this, Reimu is fully mastered as well.
Also, Scarlet Destiny (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31352) is mine now as well. That's the second Last Word I captured in just one sitting this week!
-
Well despite making no progress as far as finishing runs goes today I managed to improve my LLS stage 2 a little. I'm getting around 600 graze leaving the stage now so that's an extra 500-600k or so on what I usually get. I'm kinda curious as to what the max potential is for Normal now. It's been too long since I made the 106m route way back when and I've made lots of adjustments since, so I have no clue on exact bomb values to add up what I'm missing here and there. Plus there's a safespot I'm too scared to use on an actual run because it's pretty late in the game and it's quite small, which is made worse by having no hitbox indicator on Marisa. It's maybe worth another million though. I'm guessing the score can go to 114m, maybe 115m if I went full yolo but I can't be bothered to number crunch it. I'll bother with that once I get a run where I only have to add up a few things that I'm way too terrified to do. Oh, and I think I need to work on my Yuka more. I have a bad habit of leaving the safespot too early because the timing scares me, but it costs me 40 graze each time. Potentially up to 240 graze lost on her if I mess up every single time, which is a good million. Uu...
-
Visionary Wave "Mind Blowing" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31361) done no-horizontal, just to prove I don't need the safe path.
I know I look like I'm throwing too many spellcard captures here lately, but don't worry. I've mastered stages 1-5, so unless I capture "Hourai Elixir" (Lunatic) or some Last Word I haven't yet, I'm out of spellcards for now.
-
Imperishable Night FinalA LNB. 3 Misses (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31362)
After pulling off a shabby 5MNB run yesterday, I KNEW I could do better, so after trying again today, I got an improved run with 2 less deaths.
If I were to LNMNB this game I would probably do FinalA. Less stressful than FinalB. (And I like Eirin's fight better).
-
Got a 1cc on every non-photography Touhou! :D

1cc UFO Lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31379)
Hurrah, I got it! It's also my first lunatic 1cc because I felt dead set on 1ccing UFO first. Oh boy, I'm so done with this game.
EoSD LNN (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31291)
That's incredible :o
-
In the mean time, I figured out how to somewhat consistently survive the final wave in UFO Stage 5, and then I 1M1B'd Shou, both of those to Vajra of Perfect Buddhism.
Basically, I can almost Shou her my moves!
Radiant Trashure is still brutal...
-
Perfect SA stage 6. Was expecting it to be a pushover but I suppose its still a stage 6 so whatever. Feel like its time to step it up a bit and go for something a little more difficult. Either MoF stage 6 because VoWG or EoSD stage 5. Will probably avoid EoSD stage perfects unless there's a way to freeze rank at max and give myself max starting lives in stage practice.
-
Three more Last Words. "Unseasonal Butterfly Storm" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31387), "Ancient Duper" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31388), "Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31389).
With this, I've captured all IN spellcards I could hope to at this point. And quite a number seemed impossible just a few months ago. At this moment, I have captured, with different characters, all spellcards of stages 1-5, all spellcards of stage 6A except "Hourai Elixir" Lunatic (got to last phase a few times, and it still scares me), all Easy and Normal spellcards of stage 6B (Hard and Lunatic, as well as Extra stage, I don't plan to touch yet) and TEN Last Words (the only one unlocked but uncaptured is "Tree-Ocean of Hourai", which is just plain "no, thanks" at this point yet). Now I can take things a bit more easy. Well, I'll still be using Spell Practice to train, since I'm still pretty inconsistent at many of them.
(By the way, you just KNOW you'll have a good day for these things when you have a sudden urge to listen to all Hibachi themes in a row.)

1cc UFO Lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31379)
Hurrah, I got it! It's also my first lunatic 1cc because I felt dead set on 1ccing UFO first. Oh boy, I'm so done with this game.
Nice. Congrats on the 1cc. Bet that felt good.
How long did it take you, if you don't mind me asking? I'm pretty close too. 1 cm of health left on LFS game over ;_;

It took me a bit over a month of continuous practice. As for LFS, the same thing happened to me on the run that made it to Byakuren previous to the one where I got the 1cc. It was pretty disheartening. But I think that if you can make it to the final boss attack, it really is only a matter of time and patience before you get the clear. So good luck!
-
Deadly Toxin "Poisonous Moth's Dance in the Dark" done unfocused. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31405) The accomplishment here is that I've finally seen there's a pattern - two familiars come from the left, then two from the right. Knowing this is very useful both for destroying them and dodging their waves. I treated this as just random dodging before ^^;
EDIT: Future "Gods' Realm" unfocused. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31407) Same reason - I found a pattern in that a wave takes time to get to you, so you can reposition yourself right after each third wave shots. Move slightly after the sound. I have more or less found a path. Did this unfocused to train my movement precision, mostly (and because path includes some VERY swift repositioning).
(So much for "no more spellcard captures", eh?)

I also NMNB'd Byakuren up to LFS (and then died twice :(), Shou up to Complete Clarification (I actually have a lot of trouble with that card...), and EoSD Stage 6 up to Scarlet Gensokyo (notice a pattern?) within like the last week
Maybe I should actually bother clearing a Lunatic full run sometime, neh?

EoSD Stage 6 up to Scarlet Gensokyo
This is like the shmupper bar mitzvah.

My first complete easy play without using countinues... that's called a '1cc' run, right? (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31489)
-
I think some people, myself included, don't consider that a 1cc since you start with more lives than default (default is 3 lives, the active one and two in stock).
-
Soooooo.... handicaped 1cc maybe? I'm kiddin', I know I have to re-run this with default settings. Still for me even this counts as an achievement

After about a year of playing Touhou I have finally got my first Hard 1cc :D I feel so happy I'll even upload the disastrous replay :D

Got angry at keep dying to Shinmyoumaru... so went into spell practice and then...
Timed out Shimyoumaru's first spell on first try!

MoF Stage 6 Lunatic NMNB (MarisaC)
This took shockingly few attempts.
According to spellcard histories I've fought Kanako 34 times on Lunatic, ever.
Meanwhile, I have 453 attempts on Young Demon Lord with no NMNB (though most of those are from when I was a much worse player).
-
Did this for the hell of it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSpzHDfrSN4). Took a couple hours to get because Mugetsu is an asshole and Gengetu's first two phases are a diceroll for asshole. Tried Lunatic once but only made it to Elly. It's a lot harder than I expected. Probably because the bullets are already pretty fast in this game.
Oh cool. (http://i.imgur.com/EM8L4IU.png)

PoFV Extra Clear (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_behHd__Hqc)

Finally got a PoFV Lunatic 1cc with not Medicine/Aya, but with Cirno instead. It's kinda funny how I'd be trying to get this with Marisa and randomly try Cirno and get this, but~

While the PCB 1 billion goal is still eluding me (and finding motivation for full runs is hard when you keep failing Stage 5 stage portion of all things), I have been able to achieve something in Mountain of Faith: NMNB Stages 4-6 on Normal. This is a good result for me, those patterns used to kill me in all sorts of wicked ways.
Stage 4 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31579)
Stage 5 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31577)
Stage 6 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31578)
I'm really hoping for a NMNB Normal Remilia next, though I'm shamefully unable to handle Scarlet Netherworld (it's largely a Cirno failcard unless you actively move in the way of the bullets, and I keep doing just that because the pattern makes me disoriented) and restarting every other attempt halfway is a bit annoying.

SA Lunatic No-Bombs 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31602)

Hey, can a 1cc run end with fighting Kaguya instead of Eirin at the end of last stage aka. FinalB boss or something?

That's actually what the game counts as a clear for unlocking Extra, and there are a few Last Words you can only unlock by 1ccing 6B as well.
Personally, I always go for both 6A and 6B 1ccs, although I'm sure that there are a few people that only bother with 6B. Nothing wrong with either, but the point is "yes, it definitely counts".

Ten Desires, Reimu, normal, 1cc! My first Normal 1CC yay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31616)

I 1cc'd Touhou 6 - 10 on Lunatic with some practice, but doing that SA Lunatic clear just now might be the hardest thing I've ever done in a video game. I'm still shaking.
Also, a few weeks ago I captured every single spell card in IN as well, including Last Word. The hardest one for me was Kaguya's last regular spell on Lunatic. I did all of TD's spells, too, but that was easier.
-
NMNB MoF Stage 6 Lunatic (http://youtu.be/Tn-pHykDf04). Goddamn it took me long enough but it was so much fun. Its changed my view of MoF completely, no broken bomb system makes it so much more challenging and enjoyable. Not to mention the increase in skill its probably given me (I did want to do this is a challenge in the first place). Divining Crop was seriously annoying though, with its clipdeath and awkward RNG. Gonna do something in IN now, probably try to NMNB stage 6A.

Finally got 100mil with Kana! That makes 6 characters, the remaining 3 being the broken triad, with whom scoring this high is a pipe dream.

Virtue of Wind God lunatic timeout. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31715)
Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2GqdnZoHAk)
That would be all...but this wasn't even something I was really going for. I was practicing Stage 6 for LNB practice (which is why I time out Source of Rains too, but with deaths), and the previous attempt had a death to the 4th nonspell, Source of Rains...and then 3 to VoWG. That was unacceptable, so I went back in, played through, and decided to time down the last 2 cards for further practice. Somehow, I dodged far enough to capture VoWG if I was shooting. And kept dodging. I eventually got a wave I didn't read in time, at 8 seconds left (I blame the timeout noises...)...but I lucked through it. The other 4 waves I successfully managed to avoid, so here we are, a perfect timeout. That...was a huge confidence booster since I was really feeling like there was no way I could LNB if I was just going to die to VoWG several times at the end anyway. This...this makes me think I can.
So...who was keeping track of the people who'd done this, again?
-
Yay one more to the club.
15th? I've lost track long ago.
-
19th? 20th?
-
Might be at 20 now. I don't think anyone's really counting anymore.
But congratulations nonetheless!
-
Remember how I said over in the blogging thread that I'm tired with IN? Well, just one week off and I'm back. That pretty much means that next month or two will be only IN solo. Let's hope I'm up to it.
For actual achievements, I've finally managed to do a few spellcards without destroying familiars: Spiritual Birth "First Pyramid" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31733) (by having enough dodging ability at last) and Origin Sign "Ephemerality 137" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31732) (by staying away from familiars). Since for them I relied on destroying familiars before, finally capturing them without that is very inspiring.
-
I think people stopped counting VoWG timeouts back at the discussion after Malkyrian's, a bit over a year ago-- the view seemed to be that the list was from a time when it was a much rarer, and more difficult relative to others, achievement than it'd become by then.
If I recall correctly, Malkyrian was 17th or so.
-
Wowow, and to think just weeks ago I was excited to have captured that spellcard on Normal. These timeouts are ridiculous. Stop going in between the talismans. That's not normal at all. You guys define Lunatic Mode.
-
My first scoring achievement worth posting here. (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,157.msg1060018.html#msg1060018) It was such a good run that I even had watery eyes during credits. I just knew it was something awesome. It's a 1-miss with good bomb usage. All my previous Normal runs had 4+ misses. I'm just so moved now.
That said, I do seem to like IN scoring system. I like how it's tied to survival and all the time orb stuff. Been thinking about scoring of the games I played lately, and don't really like MoF or EoSD. IN, however, might just be the thing I'd pick up in the future. About other games, we'll see about it when I get to them.

MoF LNB! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31775) Took me all day to get, but man it was pretty worth it. Despite that I had a lot (http://imgur.com/vZb8yHL) of close calls (http://imgur.com/mQwa06P) along the way as people in IRC can attest to (apologies for all the raging too!)
Next up is UFO I suppose!

Imperishable Night Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31788)
Now I've 1cc'ed all Windows Touhou games in Lunatic minus GFW, in a time span of a bit less than a month too. I saved IN for last specifically because it's one of my favorites and I wanted to end my goal of 1ccing the Lunatics on a sweet note. The most difficult game for me was UFO by far, and the next hardest was TD, probably because of the relative lack of resources or something. MoF also gave me some trouble because of VoWG (congrats to IHNN and Malkyrian on the timeouts, by the way!). I remember thinking I would be totally satisfied with getting all of the Normal 1ccs, but after I got a Hard 1cc, I felt like I couldn't stop with just that. So needless to say, I'm very happy about this accomplishment :D
-

Captured Ephemerality 137... with Remilia. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=31813) The catch is that, in addition to already insane dodging, I had to keep updating my familiar placement to deal consistent enough damage or I'd have no chances.

Say, do you find the Hard version easier or harder? Because I find Lunatic one easier quite a notch (though still pretty hard).

-

I find the Lunatic version to be a bit less restrictive for movement in terms of the stuff coming from the familiar, but the Hard version doesn't give quite as much to dodge either. Either way... I really don't like that spell.
*highfives back*
I also only need to get the Lunatic version of Eirin's Last Spell now, then I'll have caught all of her spells.

Shame it's not a clear, so you can't post it on royal flare.
Though I have to cut you some slack. Getting into stage 6 on Lunatic with no resources left (two bombs for scoring, one for emergency on Remilia) is pretty rough, especially considering it'll be like this from now on in all of your runs.

<Malkybunny> okay i'm almost dying laughing right now
<Malkybunny> after a run utterly full of failure at absolutely everything
<Malkybunny> i decided on a random whim to try to pacify nue's second card
<Malkybunny> note: i had like 400+ tries at this before giving up on it eons ago
<Malkybunny> and i got it
<Malkybunny> on my FIRST TRY
<Malkybunny> on livestream
Video here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtAjv3PLvVM) Note, I was referring to Nue's second card in TD, not UFO.
-
So for no reason at all I've decided to try to capture every spellcard in IN with every shot type. Border Team and Ghost Team I'd already done, so I've been going through Magic Team and having fun breaking things with the Malice Cannon.
And then I got to Yukari's Last Word.
And then I captured it first try, without remembering how to do it. How.
edit: Ok I'm definitely better than I used to be, got Hourai Elixir first try as well. Not sure when that happened, but I'll take it :V
double edit: 27 tries for lunatic Hourai Jewel with Magic Team. I'm not sure if this is good or bad, but I made 2 vertical restreams before seeing if my old method of horizontal restreams would work. It did, and I dealt enough damage to kill the card...with 2 seconds left.

Not SHMUP
Finally cleared Marisa's Story Mode in IAMP (Easy dufficulty) , with no continues. The fight with Remilia is the hardest and the worst (for me) since I always died at (failing to evade) "Critical Heartbreak" and "Hell Catastrophe". But I managed to not lose any lives up until Suika, with helped me a lot.
Million thanks to "Blazing Star" and Narrow Spark(?) for helping me making Suika less harder.

Been trying to perfect IN Stage 6A. Haven't done it yet but I've been practicing Apollo 13 extensively. After realising 50 captures in a day was not a way for good practice I went and did 5 captures a day and I've improved my "current capture ratio" (ie not counting all attempts, just recent ones) from 1/6 to 1/3 ad got to 100 captures today. I suppose I achieved the knowledge of how to practice good, right?

EoSD Extra clear!
I used the Starbow Break safespot, but I had two lives left at the end, so that probably would have covered for any derp that would have happened.
Even better, this happened exactly a year after my first 1cc, which was EoSD. Considering that I gave myself all the extra lives I could back then, I think it's pretty amazing that I've gotten as good as I have even though I pretty much didn't play for five months. Seriously, wow.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/xlfUtpI.png)
So I decided, completely on a whim, to try Hard EoSD again, without the retexture patch I had gotten pretty acclimated to.
First try of the day, I got to Stage 5 with more than 4 lives. Then Stage 6 begins with 4 lives. And now, still on that same first try of the day, I did it...so close to a Scarlet Gensokyo capture, too, but you can't win them all.
At least I can now chalk this down as my first Hard 1cc, on the same game I had my first Normal 1cc and first Extra clear!
(The white box in the corner is because of Skype showing up right as I was taking the screenshot, so I felt like I should edit it out.)

Imperishable Night no focus lunatic 1cc! (http://www.twitch.tv/ihavenonamesda/c/3636367) (twitch VOD)
Been going for this every once in a while, finally bothered to learn Stage 3 after realizing the bulk of my resources disappeared there. As a result, I threw away the saved resources on Stage 5, but still cleared...with nothing left. The highlight of the run is definitely, without a doubt, the Last Spell rush though. Captured 4 of the 5, only failing the 2nd one. I even called the Rising World cap before getting it, and it wasn't an easy one either!

NMNB IN Stage 6A. (http://youtu.be/eltLaXkiJP8) Finally got it :D It only took me 6 1MNBs to do (3 to Game of Rising, 1 to Genealogy, 1 to Apollo 13 and 1 to 3rd nonspell >.>) and a month of playing to get. Normally a stage perfect takes me 2-3 weeks but this took all of January. I suppose it is a long stage (something like 7-8 minutes since Hourai Elixir takes 130 seconds or so), not to mention I practiced Apollo 13 for about 130 captures. I'm so happy :>
Despite being played at about 59.7 fps, my replay shows 0% slowdown ???
I'm assuming this is something to do with vsync because I have it turned on in the vpatch.ini file but in the custom.exe thing it always defaults to off if I launch vpatch.exe.

Greetings to everyone on MotK! First off, allow me to introduce myself. I go here by the name of PurpleTheGuy, which is based off my old name, back when I used to play on Xbox Live several years ago, I no longer do, as of five years ago (Nickname: The Kid), and it is an honour to finally being here with you guys! Yes, I was one of those few guest that comes on an everyday basis, going through threads and all, and now, I've done something that, now, I feel that I can finally stop being a guest, and become a member, for I feel that I have finally earned that right to become a member here, which I will get to, but first... Allow me to give a short synopsis of my time playing on Touhou so far... I'll give my experience the best synopsis I can come up with right this moment, so bear with me here.
I've been playing Touhou for some time now, since 2010 or so before I went on an unfortunate hiatus in late 2011, due to personal-related issues. After almost two years of hiatus, I've finally really come back to the game since August of last year, and I've been Adamantly keeping up on playing at the games ever since, making sure that such a hiatus disaster never happens again.
I've been progressing at the games rather well since, the biggest highlight being me beating Mokou w/ Sakuya & Remilia back in October, and then beating a couple more extra (Mythic, I call them) stages , such as Suwako, and then beating Ran again for the 1st time in two years since before my unfortunate hiatus (I used Marisa A to beat her, the 1st time I beat Ran was with Sakuya A, about two and a half years ago). Then, I finally got to really sit down with UFO and TD, beating those on normal within days, which I did last month. While this all sounds good and all, I find myself at that same crossroads that I have faced two and a half years ago, that, while this is fine beating mythic (Extra) stages, it easn't enough for me to just beat some extra stages, and clearing the games on normal mode, and this is where I thought to myself it's about time I start to really take flight, go up to the next level in Touhou and shmup games in-general, expand my horizons, and dare to go on "Heroic mode" (Hard) and then eventually truly progress to "Legendary Mode" (Lunatic), and so I've worked to that end.
I've been playing Phantasmagoria of Flower view for some time now, 1st time in two and a half years or so, to where I sat down, and played for a few hours almost everyday, beating the game on normal mode, one character at a time, so I can finally achieve that long-held dream of mine's to play the mythic (Extra) stage of PoFV, and finally play as Komachi and Shikieiki. I started getting a sense of which characters am I good with in-general in that particular game, one which included beating "Heroic Mode" (Hard) w/ Cirno in the middle of this. Eventually, I got to the Mythic (Extra) Stage, and after a few tries at it, I surprisingly beat through it w/ Komachi (Thank goodness!), and beat it one time with Shikieiki, where I finally achieved that said dream of mine's, to play as Komachi and Shikieiki in story mode.
I promptly got down to playing as Shikieiki, and got to beating "Heroic Mode" (Hard) after some time playing as her (I think it was about 1-2 weeks ago) and then I immediately went down to playing the fabled "Legendary Mode" (Lunatic) as her, and this took several tries among tries, unfortunate upsets, and several resets back to stage 1, which brings us to today...
Finally, after all this time practicing, and learning some tactics to go about "Legendary Mode" (Lunatic), I... finally done the unthinkable! I *ready for this* actually done my 1st ever 1cc of "Legendary Mode" (Lunatic) on any Touhou game ever! Yes, indeed, it was in PoFV, that I finally learned how to fly for the 1st time ever! I couldn't believe it at first (I almost even quit at the very last part, paused the game, believing I failed yet again, and me saying, "Curse you, Reimu!" before promptly quitting again, but alas, rather, I looked at the screen again, and... Let's just say I've been given what I will forever remember as one of the biggest shocks of my life! I almost broke down seeing what I saw!), but I actually done it, against all odds, and me messing up all over the place! And so, I hereby appear before you all, no longer a daily guest, for I now finally have a reason to become a member here at MotK! It all feels like a dream to me still, having yelled to the top of my lungs in triumph, and then just... Man, it was all too surreal.
And so... Let me bring to you, The Legend of Shikieiki Yamaxanadu (I called my replay "LegendSY" and aptly so)! Enjoy!

*Note* I'm not sure if this is the right way to post replays. I'm only beginning to learn how to use the website here, and this would be my first post on any forum for at least a few years, so I'm pretty much a more-or-less complete noob at this, so forgive me, if I did, in-fact, did something wrong here. Feel free to correct me in the necessary parts! Also, sorry about fast-forwarding through the dialogue, I tried not to,but playing Legendary over and over, it eventually drove me to the brink of insanity, that I just fast forwarded in a fit of anger, trying to get through. I'm sorry I broke that promise. I didn't like to do that, either, but alas. Last thing: If you want me to clarify some things, feel free to ask me!
This is the greatest accomplishment I have ever done so far in all of my time playing in Touhou, yet, I know I have so much more learn, so much more to accomplish, so let this be the beginning of something bigger for me! I look forward to being here with you all often, for it is a real honour for me to finally be here before you all!

This may or may not be the right place to post it, but I PB'd in PoDD. I also game over'd in PoDD. So I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this. The game is also fucking with my brain by making me game over at pretty much 99m, instead of giving me the 1 extra million as a present.

1cc Phantasmagoria Trues (Standard, Area 6, Unseen 1) with 13 lives in stock and 30/39 spell cards captured.
THIS is going on YouTube. Somehow. Because I don't think I've done anything in shmups this well before. I'm pretty sure I was doing deep-breathing exercises through Mima's last attack.
And here it is where you can see it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4ITownnAxQ). Bonus points for the URL having "Town" in it, because I'm always Town.

Another stage perfect, this time it was IN Stage 4B (http://youtu.be/tIS8nip1nIg). If I'm honest, its pathetically easy. The only real trouble spots were 1st non, Asteroid Belt, 2nd non and 3rd non. Oh well, IN is supposed to be the easiest and its only stage 4 :P
EDIT: Lolwat. Of the 3 thumbnails I can choose, none of them have a single shot of danmaku :V

Alright, I just hit a big milestone for me just moments ago! I've made my first real "Heroic" (Hard) 1cc (Meaning I beat this one w/ default 3 lives) on Touhou 7, Perfect Cherry Blossom using Marisa A, after what is slightly more than a week of practice, a few hours in each day! A rather scrubbish replay/playthrough, with a lot of mistakes made where I shouldn't have made them, but it somehow flew, against all odds! Indeed, with this, I have truly far surpassed my old self before my two year hiatus I talked about earlier here! :)
Oh yeah! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=32150)
Whew, now I can move on to "Legendary" (Lunatic) Mode in Perfect Cherry Blossom w/ Marisa A! :)
-
Finally had enough time to continue going through Hard Modes and got the remaining UFO and TD Hard Mode clears after losing motivation due to problems with UFO Marisa-B, after which I destroyed the game with Sanae-A (I really like it more than Sanae-B, though that's mainly because I had to get used to the latter).
Also cleared all GFW Easy Mode routes and IN Hard Final A with solo Reimu, so that's 14 IN clears and PoFV left until I'll have all games completely cleared on all difficulties up to Hard (minus the fighting games, though I'll get to those once I'm done with PoFV).

Technically yes, it's a 1cc, but is it really a satisfying 1cc? That's the real question here: are you happy with it? (Likewise, when I first cleared IN I did it with max lives, but I've since gone back and done it with default because it didn't feel like I'd actually earned the clear, but at the time I did)

Well, I am happy with it. But I'm not as content as my first 1cc (PCB) for an obvious reason. I only cleared MoF Hard in my 2nd attempt.
-
Perfect IN Stage 5. (http://youtu.be/whK3Mh9TmkY) Much like stage 4 it wasn't very difficult but that was expected. Also, Telemesmerism is easy once you know how to do it. Gonna try for a Stage 6B perfect now, so I'll be back in this thread in about 6 months (my Hourai Jewel capture rate is 1/172 :V)
EDIT: Once again, managed to get 3 thumbnails with no danmaku in any of them :derp:
-
Well, that was a fruitful week of Touhou. Lacking internet seems to make me better:
UFO Normal 1cc with SanaeB
TD Normal 1cc with Reimu (this took longer than UFO to get, so clearly TD is harder... or I don't like it as much :3)
IN Hard Final 6A 1cc with Netherworld team
EoSD Extra Clear with ReimuA (which includes the silliest death and bomb to the fairies immediately before Flandre)
-
1CC normal DDC using SakuyaB

weeeee

Another MoF Normal 1cc with ReimuC.
My leg was violently shaking for most of Kanako's battle (whom I haven't actually fought since the first time I 1cc'd the game...). It got me killed once, it's so distracting.. I think I might be hungry. But, it's late, so sleep is a good substitute until tomorrow. A good accomplishment before my long Monday college schedule.
-
PERFECT PCB EXTRA! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=32230)
Had quite a few runs end at Charming Siege, and 3 or 4 attempts ended at Izuna Gongen, but after over 180 tries, I finally did it! This the first time I've ever NMNB'd an Extra stage in a Touhou game! Not long ago I never would've thought I could do this.
Edit: Youtube Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvG-KaKGs5w)
Now with some more practice on the stage portion, maybe I could get that 800 point extend. :V
-
Streamed some Imperishable Night today with the intent of perfecting its extra stage. Captured the rings of death once in the 4 runs that got there, beat my old high score on all 3 finished runs and never carried a perfect past Phoenix Tail. However, I do almost always capture Imperishable Shooting (3 for 3 on it) so that's promising.
After getting tired of grinding the extra stage, I messed around in spell practice a bit, then decided I needed to get better at Stage 4.
Then I perfected it first try. It might not have been the perfect I was originally going for, but can I really complain with having gotten it?
-
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee first UFO 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=32244)
It is so good to reach the last boss with 6 lifes on the stock and bomb everything :)

PS: The extra stage starts without a streaming section? I don't know how to play this game.
-
Another stage perfect, this time IN Stage 6B. (http://youtu.be/ctfNmznWlaE)Holy crap, Kaguya was almost as fun as Kanako was but Rising World is just an RNG fest. Oh well, I'm happy with this perfect. I don't think I mentioned this anywhere, but I'm planning on having IN as my main game, after I perfect stage 3 (mainly for practice) I'll move on to no bomb 1cc's and then
take over the world eventually go after the elusive NMNB 1cc. But that's the future.
EDIT: Welp, stage 3 is easy but tedious as hell. Got the perfect in less than an hour. If I had known some of the tricks I used now when I was 1ccing, it would of been useful. But back then, I was too lazy to do stage practice :P
EDIT2: Aaand there's the LNB 1cc. 7 misses (Early stage 3, Ephemerality 137, Marisa's 1st and 2nd nonspells, Tewi's first, last enemies of stage 5, Mind Stopper) and 3 failed last spells (Wriggle, Keine, Reisen). Surprisingly, got another perfect 6B. Quite pround right now, considering it was last year's Summer holidays when I got my first lunatic 1cc (IN). Guess the future isn't as far away as I thought :3

So I just finished my first Lunatic 1cc. My hands are shaking and I can't properly type.
Let me tell you one thing: When you are making the step from hard to Lunatic, then don't pick Ten Desires as your title of choice. It is an evil game that wants to make you sad and angry.
Interestingly enough I had my first death at Saint Girl: Omnomnom Dinner on which I had 100% capture rate till then. (and it was a Futo-is-a-bad-girl kind of death...)
But isn't it funny how all of Kyouko's non-spells are nothing but static with her being an echo youkai?

Following this, I captured Astronomical Entombing on Normal with the same team no-focus (basically, playing as Reimu).

"Fantasy Heaven" captured. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=32307) Credits for IHNN :3

Improved my IN LNB to 6 deaths and 2 failed last spells. Deaths to Event Horizon, Eirin's non, Dragon Bullet, Kaguya's 2nd non, Kaguya's 4th non and Life Spring Infinity (ie 1 death until stage 6 then 5 misses on stage 6 :V). Also failed Mystia's last spell and Rising World. In my defence, Mystia had so little health left when I got hit :P.
-
Nothing incredible but after practicing SA on Normal (and failing stage 5 constantly and getting frustrated), I wondered if I could clear any of the other games on Easy for a change of pace.
1cc E MoF with Reimu A and C (B was done before) And Marisa B. With some pretty good scores.
Also PCB on E with ReimuB (alas, with continues)
-
3 Miss Subterranean Animism 1cc on normal AND finally capturing Total Purification after 121 gruesome attempts.
-
Oh, hello. I cleared MoF Extra with MarisaBug. Although I'm proud that I can capture quite a lot of spellcards without bug abuse. I guess it's time to use ReimuA next time. Will upload a better version later.
-
Improved LNB further. 5 deaths and 2 failed last spells. Died to "The Legend of Gensokyo" (Keine's final spell), Kaguya's 3rd non, 2 deaths to Life Spring Infinity (admittedly I did try to hug Kaguya accidentally :fail:) and the last death was to Hourai Jewel. The 2 failed last spells were Rising World (obviously) and...Wriggle's :colonveeplusalpha:
EDIT: Hey, I cut 3 hits in 5 days. That obviously means I'll get a NMNB 1cc in about 12 days :V Alternatively, I've reduced my hits by 30% in 5 days so every 5 days I'll reduce the number of hits I take by 30% and I'll never reach 0 T_T

About a month ago, I NMNB'd SA Stage 6 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=32347) (which I never bothered posting about). Only took about an hour or so of attempts, which was nice.
Today, I got NMNBNT TD Stage 6 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=32348)
and
NMNBNUFO UFO Stage 6!!! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=32349)
All of a sudden I had a pretty good rate of success at 4 of my problem spots today: Cloudy Way in Purple, second nonspell, Devil's Recitation, and LFS. It's amazing that despite having played for a couple of years now, I still feel like I'm improving a lot. That's what I love about Touhou: it has so much room for improvement. It's like an endless journey.
EDIT: OMG EoSD Stage 6 NMNB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=32350), what is this day

IN Hard Youmu solo 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=32412) My second IN Hard 1cc. Still a narrow clear, but I didn't expect to do this good. Well, I did this on my fourth try today, previous ones had deaths with too many bombs in stock and ended on Tewi (and I failed to get 800 point item extend each time), but I just couldn't walk away today with such a mediocre result. Just reaching Kaguya would've been enough, but I surprised myself and ended up clearing the game.
-
Double Dealing Character Lunatic No Bomb 1cc with ReimuB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=32419)
Ahh! Finally! I've been wanting this for so long now! Mostly because I really wanted to no bomb this game with a low-tier shot. I knew that all I really needed to win was a good Kagerou fight, which I had. 11 misses total. Stage 5 was horrendously bad. But I somehow pulled through with a NMNB Stage 6. I suppose all that Sukuna practice really paid off where it counted the most.
Now I may either try for other shottypes, or I may look to improve my ReimuA LNBs. In which my best one is a 7 miss.
-
UFO Normal 1cc. I finished with 1 live left and almost captured Byakuren's last spell :ohdear: Way, way too much bombing.

Feel really happy about this run! Can't wait to take it further! :toot:

I could probably 500M with this shot if I knew how to get more than 10k from Scarlet Gensokyo bombs and knew the timing for the graze bombs on Thousand Needle Mountain.
-
Cleared IN lunatic again, no real conditions, just to see how it'd go.
Died twice on Stage 2.
Died twice for the entire rest of the game (FinalB).
Final stats were 4 deaths, 15 bombs, 27 spellcards captured (10 missed, including 5 Last Spells). I honestly can't be disappointed with this outcome. Still, 19 errors is 10 more than allowed for an LNB, but some of those were panic bombs and 4 of them were on Stage 2, so it's definitely an obtainable goal for me.
-
Oh look, I'm still alive, just tired (blame college). I've accomplished a lot since I've been gone, though. :V
EoSD Normal 1cc (no screen cap cause not that impressive just something I needed to do)
DDC Hard 1cc (http://i.imgur.com/bc1EOur.png) My first Hard 1cc. Working on Lunatic -sobs-
SA Hard 1cc (http://i.imgur.com/tXk80qE.png) So happy about this one (my screen cap didn't work and my replay is borked so player data it is).
DDC EX Clear (http://i.imgur.com/HO07OXL.png) Which is the worst clear ever as I lost about 8 lives, I think.
UFO EX Clear (http://i.imgur.com/jsQ8mZd.png) About damn time I beat Nue.
TD EX Clear (http://i.imgur.com/95efWyI.png) Got this last week.
I like how my EX clears didn't beat my high scores. (UFO got higher)
So close to clearing MoF hard. Keep dying to Kanako stupidly, but I should get it soonish.
None touhou cause why not:
I've 1cced both of the Len'en games on normal yes, I unlocked and beat the sword in EMS
. EX stages are a work in progress, though. Easy Extra doesn't count.
-
Just beat 9-7 in Double Spoiler. Finally some progress!!!

Noticed yesterday that I 1cc'd all the main Windows games on Easy with at least one shot type.
That's... progress, I guess.

All LWs captured, although with different characters. Here's the trophy. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=32489)

Finally managed some improvement on my IN LNB. Managed a 6MNB run. 4 deaths, 2 failed last spells (http://youtu.be/molYUkaQJJk). Deaths to Mystia's 2nd non, Ephemerality 137, Event Horizon and Marisa's 3rd non. Failed Tele Mesmerism and Rising World. I really need to work on getting better at Mystia, specifically Venomous Moth and 2nd nonspell. They trip me up so often...
Also, got hit on Rising World with 11 on the timer and managed to only have half an hour added to the time. Shouldn't it be a full hour since it was over 10 seconds left?
-
Kaguya's Last Spells are all at the halfway point of the spell-Rising World is the only one with a 30 second timer, so surviving 15 seconds makes it only go up a half hour.
-

Oh. I don't know why I thought it was every 10 seconds...Didn't believe you to the point that I tested it. 25 seconds left, only an hour added. Seems various wikis think its every 10 seconds too. Oh well, thanks for clearing that up :D

So after giving up on an SA LNB because of a 4-miss Satori fight, I get a "perfect" Stage 5, I bombed the last stage sections for "score" (sections I would have pacified had I kept going with the LNB anyway), so yeah...

So I kind of quit touhou for ages (played very sporadically) because UFO lunatic is frustratingly difficult.
So instead I recently started playing PCB and IN again, finally got an LNB run of PCB (derped and got 1 border break iirc), though honestly the run itself was full of silly mistakes and ridiculous flukes. Can't say I'm not happy about the achievement though. Will probably aim for an actual respectable run (5 or so deaths, not cheesing stage 4) at some point.

I'm so done with this stage.

Captured all the Last Words, using Remilia only (video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZPtW_bIK1M)).
Total Purification took way too many attempts, and Fantasy Heaven was the mandatory blind luck capture.
Time to get back to EoSD.
-
Congrats Quukii, that's impressive!
-
Finally unlocked all the IN Last Words. Was sitting on the last 4 for the longest time, but I finally got the patience to do all of Marisa solo on Normal and do Hourai Elixer on Hard (I detest long survival cards). Now to actually capture them all.
-
Cleared PoFV Lunatic at 75fps (with Marisa).
Quite an ugly run, but whatever.

Ohhh, it's so exhilarating to get to witness Imperishable Shooting for the first time. Touhou is definitely the most atmospheric shmup I've played.

Got my first LNB ever today. It was in EoSD.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=32562 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=32562)
It was a pretty embarrassingly bad run only saved by the fact that Remi played nice with me for Gensokyo.
A clear is a clear I suppose.
I'll have to come back and improve this later.
-
PCB Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=32563)
Got this on my second try after grinding stage practice for a few hours. First attempt was ended by my computer crashing. As you might expect from a first 1cc, it's kind of a sloppy run. 2 deaths with bombs in stock, and lots of stage portion bombs. Captured Hell God Sword, then immediately proceeded to die to the tap streaming nonspell right after it. :V
Oddly enough, PCB Lunatic took me less effort to 1cc than SA on Hard.

Nice job Kits! Even though you say it's a bad run, I still think it's impressive. I remember my first LNB, it was an amazing feeling. Can't wait to see you improve your run.

This is something I've wanted to do for a long time.

I see that this is absolutely no accomplishment for you guys, but I managed to 1cc EoSD on normal. http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=32588
As you can see, I suck. :P

Unless you easily got something on your first try, it's worthy to be called an accomplishment. Also, accomplishments are relative, so if it is one for you, it's worth to be proud of. And EoSD Normal is far from trivial, I can tell you that. Anyway, welcome to the community, I guess.

I definately seems to be trivial for you guys, since it seems that many of you are capable if 1ccing PoDD, the hardest game in the series, on lunatic.
-
By many you mean 5 people or so? Not very many people play PoDD at all and therefore not all that many people here have 1cc'd PoDD as a result.

It wasn't trivial to any of us when we started. Don't go trying to compare yourself with people who literally have years of experience with these games.
-
There is nothing wrong with comparing yourself with better players. I do it all the time. It only becomes a problem if you take their standards when you're obviously not ready yet.
-
Will I ever be "ready"? I think not. I have a sub-human reaction time, I'm mentally retarded, and I get too anxious (which makes me clip everything).

Don't let the usual community standards deter you from being happy about your achievements.

Heh, I've been there once. I used to think I would never be able to advance past some point. Well, I'll just say that even if you think it's impossible for you to get better, it doesn't mean you can't exceed your own expectations. Your reflexes can sharpen, you can learn tricks how to do stuff properly, and you can get used to the pressure and learn not to panic. It just needs time. Maybe weeks, maybe months. But you might surprise yourself with how good you can get if you go on.

I just worry that the community standards may influence people to be discouraged from feeling great about anything they do.
If he truly believes his run sucks, all the more power to him.

My run does suck. I played like a moron. D:
My first EoSD Normal 1cc (as well as my first 1cc ever) left me with 0 lives and 1 bomb. Looking back on it now, my gameplay is disgusting, but I was ecstatic the day I won that. My bombing was more liberal than [insert political joke here], and I still lost the three lives I got to Stage 6 with, and wasted a good four or five perfectly usable bombs. If you're looking at score, I didn't even break 90 million. Yet now, here I am, with an EoSD Hard 1cc under my belt (the only two Normal ones I haven't gotten are GFW and PoFV because Aya) and trying for a PCB Hard 1cc (so difficult...).
The point is, just keep practicing at it. If I make a run, I move on, I personally don't particularly care about no-miss no-bomb runs. As long as I can beat it, I'm fine with it. It just takes practice. Practice practice practice. Don't beat yourself up over a few tiny mistakes.

Well, yes, because by some standards in this community, you're not even allowed to be considered decent unless you have WR-tier scores.
This is why it's best not to play for standards, or to please anyone. As you've told me, play for yourself, and don't worry about what other people think so much. True life lesson.
-

The only problem is, I'm not good enough for myself...
-
What are you even trying to accomplish here? You keep going on and on about how you are not good enough and will not ever improve, despite how people are actually trying to be nice and helpful! It's crazy! Either take the advice you're given, and accept that you can obviously improve just like anyone else, or don't change your mind but please stop going on and on about this nonsense.
It looks to me as if you only posted your 1cc in order to receive pity! What is the point! Just play more and get better if you really care that much about it. Duh. Everyone has to work their way up... I'm only scolding you for your own good.
...
I didn't really play much recently, but the survival things I have been doing are:

Oh. It's hard to tell over text.

Enough about this, all right?
If something's an accomplishment to you, it's good enough to post. That's what this thread is for. As many others are saying, it's probably not helpful to judge yourself by the standards of people who've been playing much longer than you have.
And there's always room for improvement, too. The most important thing is to keep trying-- chances are you'll improve without even realizing it.
It is true that accomplishments at a certain level tend to receive more congratulations. But that doesn't mean there are any community standards about what you can feel good about-- this goes for anyone who thinks there is. (I'm not denying that there are a few people around with extremely high standards, but they don't get to impose those standards on everyone.)
If anyone still wishes to complain about how badly their runs have gone, there's always the rage thread (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,15166.0.html) instead. This, however, is the accomplishments thread.

Hey, peoples. Just a random (that made a random posts months ago a few threads ago) posting random achievements (within the last month) and possible goals:
Extra clears:
---SA (this used to be a douche, but then months passed, I got dodging skills and got a tight victory after some dumb early mistakes. This was probably my most proud achievement because of how CLOSE it was)
---UFO (Took a bit before I could get the stage properly down and get resources enough, but I wound up with a 2-bomb (and 5 death LOL) clear and a random "Nightmare of Heiankyo" capture
---TD (A run that was first destined for greatness (first death at "Sixth Duel: Tanuki's Monstrous School") but then my first death claimed my important trance for "Seventh Duel: Wild Deserted Island" which gave me 2 complete deaths. Wound up with NO resources for her last two spells and had no faith in winning, but I tried anyway. I got a random capture of BOTH of them)
---GFW (Possibly the most infuriating and ridicuously fun Extra. Marisa knows how to put up a fight and have fun about it. Good times)
---PoFV[Komachi] (Random 2nd or 3rd attempt of it got me to the end, which was a surprise. Eiki, though, is not going to be fun)
Normal clears:
---PoFV[4/12] (Well, 3 were more recent, but getting a 1CC on this is a pain (thank goodness they're not needed for the Extra unlock, just beating Shikieiki). Still, I guess I had ENOUGH dodging to reap a few more 1CC's than I expected ^w^)
Hard clears(!):
---MoF (Cleared it today and did NOT expect to. I purposefully used bombs whenever there was a hint of danger just to see how far I could go. Had 4 lives at the beginning of S6, but them SOMEHOW lost 2 of them carelessly. Despite that, I managed a 0-resource finish, using 5 bombs on VoWG(Hard) alone. That is definitely one of the best cards out there)
This brings my stats to:
Normal: 2, 4, 5, 6-14 (including 12.8 )
Hard: 10
Extra: 2, 6-8, 9(1/2), 10-14 (including GFW) [This means I'm one (half) extra away from kicking the arses of every Windows Extra Stage ^W^]
So far, my only goals are to complete every extra stage (so glad PoDD doesn't have one XD), then find the next Hard to play, which'll probably be EoSD because it was my first game (I finished MoF Hard first because it was my first Extra completion)
Youmu, this comes from a person who used to never get past Stage 4 of Normal on any game. Everyone starts with humble beginnings, even pros (Like Jaimers, who can get Perfect Lunatics and Ultra Lunatic 1CC's, which is INSANE). It's just about taking it one step at a time. Before you know it, you'll be able to tackle Extra, then Hard, and eventually Lunatic. But no use rushing to compare skills with someone who's had tons of practice (it's like comparing a first year with a college/university student, which is ridiculous).
My advise: Create some goals (like completing Touhou 7 and 8 on Normal) to aim for. As you finish them, create more. Some way through, you'll realise just how far you suddenly came.
...
...
Can't wait until I can complete Lunatic though...XD
EDIT (so I don't double-post): Just managed to succeed in a MoF NBExtra w/ 4 deaths >w<. I could probably improve it by finding ways to capture her last 3 spells, but this is enough for me ^w^)

PCB LNB! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=32631) 9 miss, no border breaks. I haven't even cleared most of the other games on Lunatic yet, but since PCB is one of my favourite games, I decided to practice until I could get this. Got pretty nervous during stage 6, but I managed to pull through with a life to spare. My favourite parts of this replay would have to be the silly double KO to Benevolent Orl?ans Dolls, no missing all 3 Youmu fights, and a super lucky dodge during Butterfly Delusion.
In the future, I plan to improve my PCB Extra score (Should be able to get at least 1.1bil, but I'm hoping to reach 1.2bil eventually), and probably try Phantasm, Easy and Normal scoring at some point. I need to work on my point item collection though. I've never gotten the 1000 point extend on any difficulty, let alone the 1200 or 1400 extends.

Mountain of Faith Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=32635).
This came really quickly (a few hours), but I enjoyed the game more than I expected.
-
Good ol' Lunatic runs. It's good to know that they can be done
For now though, I'll settle with my EoSD Hard. Wound up with a couple of bomb-lost deaths, but that was easily made up with a 1BNM Sakuya (not MBoss though) and a relatively decent Remilia (except that I can't do Scarlet Meister, using 2 bombs to clear it away). A fun run, and satisfying
Next stop: Probably either SA or PCB
-
It's not much, but I just finally cleared Embodiment Of Scarlet Devil on normal. I didn't even realize I had won until Remilia blew up. For some reason I was thinking she had another spell after Red Magic.
EoSD was the first Touhou I played and I had been neglecting it because it's so weird and old. I had meant to clear it on the anniversary of my first Touhou games (July 16, 2012) but I couldn't do it the night of the anniversary and I dropped it. Recently I've been trying to switch up my games more rather than just playing Imperishable Night over and over, and it took like three tries to beat it after returning to it. Visible progress like that makes me feel better about my numerous huge weaknesses and general lack of skill. So yeah, 20 months after I started I finally beat the first game I played. That's... A thing that happened, anyway. Works for me.
-
I finally 1CCed DDC with at least a life remaining! Now it's time to kill myself toward passing Lunatic. :X
-
Here's my first UFO Normal clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=32647) ever! It was an extremely exciting run, and completely unexpected, because I only wanted to try out all the shot types before actually investing any serious time and effort into a clear. Well, what can I say, apparently miracles happen (praised be Kanako). The highlight of this rather unusual run include:
- reaching Murasa with the maximum number of extra lives
- perfecting Murasa as a result of reaching her with no bombs;
- panicking and spamming resources throughout the remainder of the run, expect for a few patterns at the start of the final boss, and...
- ...capturing Flying Fantastica for the first time!
All in all, I'm incredibly happy. I will probably skip SA Normal and just go for EoSD or MoF Hard for now. Or try scoring again, who knows.
-
PCB Hard Mode clear!
I had one incredibly stupid death on the Prismrivers right at the end because I thought that the spell card was over when it wasn't, and it was a really bomb-spammy run, but I'm pretty happy with it. I got pretty far on Reflowering, too, and I probably could have captured it if I hadn't spazzed out at 18 seconds left. I also didn't derp really badly on Youmu like I usually do, so that was a really big plus.
-
Phew, I'm finally done with IN for the time being. Time to sum up my achievements.
First off, I've been playing IN for the last four months. Sure, I made pauses to play other games or watch anime, and fired up a different STG once in a while, but it was the only game I was seriously working on for all that time. That's quite an achievement in determination. However, now I understand how people can burn out on their favourite STGs. I've seen just how important my own advice of circulating games actually is. The good part is that I don't hate IN after all this, quite the contrary, the longer I played the more I liked it, I even picked up an interest in scoring. But I got really tired of it by now, so I'll try to space out my IN playing sessions in the future.
Easy NB runs gave me no trouble at all. I'll try pacifist runs in the future. They'd be way harder because of no bullet cancel by familiars, among other stuff, but that would be pretty interesting to try. Also, I'll work on Easy scoring. I like how the system barely needs any survival resources usage, and I'll be interested to dig into deeper scoring tactics for a change.
I also managed to get all Normal 1cc's. I had doubts about the weaker characters, but managed to clear with them as well. To work on survival, I'll switch to NB runs for Normal here as well.
I got a few Hard 1cc's, but I also got close to getting one with most characters. I usually can get to Kaguya, only Alice and Sakuya solo did worse than that.
Well, that's it for now. I'll rest a bit and then think what to pick up next.
-
PCB Hard: Conquered
I'm starting to love Hard at my current skill level: Challenging, but not impossibly hard (unlike Lunatic, which obliterates me before the 2nd half of the game)
Nothing too notable though, except capturing Reblooming ~ 50% (for the 2nd time, the 1st during either a 3CC or my one practice) and managing to do a Death Border, meaning I got hit, then got a border during the death-bomb period. It felt weird to get that, but it was one good reason for only dying twice to Yuyuko ^w^
I wonder what my next stop will be...

Well, I just did a random PCB stage 6 Easy run where I scored 368m.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=32723
It went fairly well aside from a border break on Yuyuko's 5th (costing maybe 12-13m, including border bonus, spell bonus, and slightly lower PIV for remaining borders/point items). Aside from that, the main improvement would be grazing more than one wave of Yuyuko's first two spells, though it's possible a different route involving more bombing for cherry+ could be better.
The very risky PoC before the bomb for point items at the start seems to gain about 3m.

Timeout of "Scarlet Destiny" at 120 fps. (http://youtu.be/c9245xipe-U) Not a massive achievement compared to stage perfects/LNB runs but oh well, I quite enjoyed timing that out. "High speed scarlet" is now actually fast.

I needed to take a break from practicing UFO LNB, so I decided to bang my head against the wall on something else for a change.
Virtue of Wind God Timeout (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVWYUzSNz9I&feature=youtu.be&hd=1)
Decided to see if I improved enough to time out VoWG. The initial answer was no, but I felt with a little grinding I could get it. I had to spend 58 hours fighting Kanako nearly 600 times over the last 7 days to get this, so I'm pretty proud of it, even though it's not really considered a big deal anymore. The hardest part was trying to stay calm and not letting my heart explode as I got closer to the end. It was quite the rush.
Oh. I also got a NMNB of the stage a few days before that, but it means little to me.
Link if you're bored enough to look. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5KritJkv4U&hd=1)

Congrats Kits. VoWG Timeout is something I never had the patience to do, so that's quite impressive!

EoSD Extra clear :3 A rather messy run, but a clear is still a clear! :derp:
-
Congrats! : D I hope to accomplish the same soon.
Taking a break from EoSD though, I beat Riko Toone in Mystical Power Plant. Fun, easy Extra Boss fight. Love the music. Only thing that I had trouble with was the survival card, but it was just because of all the clutter moreso than anything else.

MoF LNB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=32823).
It...it finally happened. I finally managed to string together a run that was good enough, even though I should have been able to do it much sooner. This has been my primary Touhou goal for the best part of the past 2 years, though admittedly that's with a lot of time not spent playing. In fact, this run was just another time where I found myself with a half hour and nothing to do, so I gave it another shot. My spellcard history (accurate for LNB attempts) on Falling Leaves of Madness are 89/96. It was 17/20 when I began attempts. That's 76 tries over the course of nearly 2 years, averaging one every week and a half. It's just how I've been playing Touhou lately, very infrequently. My skill hasn't deteriorated, but I haven't really improved either. This run was never about being good enough to perform well on the stages, but a test of consistency, a test of not choking. Could I hold myself to the standard I thought I could reach? For a while, I believed not. I even made a post basically saying I had given up nearly a year ago, looking at my standard runs of each stage. But then when I looked at 2 particular practice sessions where I tackled stages 3-6 in a row with 8 deaths between them...I knew it was attainable. I knew that focused grinding would get it done quickly, but I didn't have the mindset for it. So I settled for the one attempt every so often approach that was able to get me some lesser accomplishments, never really expecting to pull this one off without a grind session.
I'm glad I was wrong.
Anyway, back when I originally decided to go for it LNBs were incredibly rare, with Jaimers, Kefit and Naut being among the few in the community who had done it. LNN wasn't even really a thing that was considered...how the superplayer standards have grown, I feel like I've been one step behind the whole time. But it's alright, I don't play for ranking, for approval, or even really for the end goal. I play because it's fun, and the feeling of accomplishment that comes at the end. I could be happier with this run, it does have 8 deaths after all. But still, the sense of satisfaction from finally executing well enough...it's all I wanted from this endeavor.
This specific run started like any other-perfect Stage 1, perfect Stage 2. Fairly standard, I'd really gotten quite consistent at Pain Flow, going from around 50% to 100% capture rate on it. Then I captured Hydro Camouflage for the first time in months, and went on to perfect the stage for the 2nd time ever. And as such I found myself in the unique (so far, for me) position of having 7 lives going into Stage 4-which I promptly screwed up by dying to Momiji and then killing her too soon, dying to the waterfalls after. Whatever, 2-3+ deaths was the norm by then, this run was in good shape still. Then I died to Aya's first spell, despite a 75% capture rate! Then I was slightly out of position on her 2nd non catapulting the run into mediocrity. 4 deaths by this point was far from ideal, but I kept going. Token PWG death, though I nearly survived it, leaving 3 lives from Stages 5 and 6. The best I'd ever had going into Stage 5 before? 3 lives, from a 1 death Stage 4 and a 1 death to all of Nitori's spells Stage 3. I immediately squandered them that run, but perfected Sanae to reach Stage 6. I was not about to repeat that performance.
And I didn't, screwing up my strategy for the first wave of fairies with the blue walls, but thankfully I realized and was able to pull through. The first managed to fire its kunai rings, so moving left was death-I had to go right to survive, and fast, despite a blue wall being in the way. I spotted the gap I wanted to go for...and successful dodge through it! The rest of the stage went according to plan, despite nearly failing to speedkill Sanae's first. Perfect Stage 5 in an LNB run, finally managing to not choke every life I'd painstakingly saved to that point in the stage. Finally managing to carry even 1 life into Stage 6. My average run of Stage 6 had 4 deaths. With the pressure of an actual attempt on, I had 3. Bring it on Kanako, I can do this.
Perfect stage portion, with a nice dodge on the final death fairy. Capture Kanako's opener without even feeling threatened-I was in the zone. This was going to be the run, I could feel it. Mad Dance on Medoketo, 2nd non, Rice Porridge in Tube fell effortlessly. 3 lives, 5 patterns. The last time I faced one of them I timed it out, I never fail 3 of them. Well, I failed Kanako's 3rd non (I blame the nerves, personally), captured Yamato Torus despite very jittery movement. My heart was beating out of my chest as Kanako's 4th non fell after 45 seconds. This was it. 2 lives. 2 patterns that I would expect to lose 1 life on in real runs. Source of Rains fell with a single death just past the halfway point-I'm really awful at that spell, so I'm pleased with that performance. Just like Kefit's ancient run, 1 life. VoWG. I played incredibly conservatively, knocking out most of the lifebar without having to make a single micrododge. I got hit the one time I didn't see a macro way out, but I had done well enough. With no lives left, I dodged one final wave, and VoWG fell.
8 deaths. No bombs. Mountain of Faith lunatic. Finally.

After reading about the vsync patch in the Rage thread, I decided to try out EoSD with it and got a EoSD Hard 1CC (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-W9GcFgAig)
Granted, I thought this run was heading for the rage thread, after getting to Remilia with 3 lives and 2 bombs.... only to lose 2 lives on her first non-spell. Then somehow getting to Scarlet Gensokyo with 1 life and 1 bomb, only to lose said life within the first 5 seconds of the spell.
-
Finally! (I'm a noob) I bet my first game! IN Normal with Remilia and Sakuya! So happy! :D but... Still can't beat Satori Normal (Marisa and Patchy)... :fail:
-
OH MY GOD.
OH MY GOD.
HOLY SHIT. HOLY FUCK. HOLY SHITLOAD OF FUCK.
I DID IT. I BEAT FLANDRE. I BEAT HER.
That run was OUTSTANDING for me. I fell apart around her survival card and QED took a ton out of me, but I'm okay with that. I captured her first SIX SPELLCARDS ALL IN A ROW, and only lost 1 life and 1 bomb to Catadioptric and Counter Clock, respectively. I'm VERY happy I finally accomplished this. Once I clear Hard I'll have done all I wanted with EoSD. But I am SO DAMN PROUD of myself for finally managing this.
-
Well, I cleared UFO normal with SanaeA :V (mainly trying to work myself out of my rut) Now I have to clear it with ReimuA (I think) and MarisaB to get all the shot types cleared.
I guess it was a good clear. Well until Byakuren, she was kinda a train wreck. Only 2 deaths before Byakuren, not too much bomb spamming. Shou could have gone better, but her fight wasn't as bad as my usual.
My MoF hard run got me up to Kanako, then I game over'd :V Yeah, I still need to work on that.
Oh man, nice job LunarWing. Grats on that. I know who good it feels to clear that extra stage.
-
Thanks~!! And congrats on the UFO clear! I cleared Normal with the same shot type! ^^
-
Congrats LunarWindCloud, I guess it didn't take too long after you found out about the vpatch huh. :P
-
Nope! I knew I was better at Touhou than the mistakes I was making, turned out it was that damn input lag holding me back~ ^^
Now to go clear Hard! I can get to Remilia easily enough so it shouldn't be very hard.
-
Finally managed to 1cc normal on all games from TH01 to TH14, 1cc hard on 4 games, 2 extra clear. The game is hard... and addicting. :3

I've 1cc'd 2, 4-8, 10-14 on Normal. Cleared the Extra in 6 and 13 so far.

DDC LNB (http://score.royalflare.net/th14/replay14/th14_ud04eb.rpy)
this was very... unexpected, it was literally the first credit I put into the game today . The first three stages were pretty standard, the first death was just before Boss Kagerou, and died only twice to her (I decided to try for NB just because of this), and 1-miss stage 4, to Benben's final spell (at the very beginning, which is pretty silly). Absolutely disgusting stage 5, not kidding, I died EIGHT times, but I somehow got a NMNB stage 6 to make up for it.
Outside of stage 5, I'm very happy with how things turned out, specially stage 6, I had been trying to perfect it for some time now, and getting it for the first time on a full run was really nice.
-
Okay guys, it's been a bit since my last post about achievements, I'm usually away until I get something pretty good down.
Alright, so in the weekend that passed, I managed to do my 1st 1cc "Heroic (Hard) mode clear of Ten Desires using Sanae Kochiya! I did this, as of late night Sunday/very early morning Monday. I put this one together to show to the people at the arcade place of the university I go to this coming Thursday, and this was the one I was sure to get pretty easily. However, I didn't really think I would get this down over the weekend, I really didn't that much time into it, maybe a few hours a day in the weekend, but it actually worked out, so now, I really got a show set up this coming Thursday! :D
So far, at the moment, I have a screenshot of the feat, I'll get the replay up, as soon as I can. The internet is still down at my house (It's been out since Saturday morning), and it should be back later on today, so I'll try to have that up at some point pretty soon, either at Gensokyo replays or on my YouTube channel (When I get that one established).
Show's up for this coming Thursday! (http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o798/PurpleTheGuy/0284b760-2db1-45c0-9375-6548a16209c9_zps1a6dbd68.jpg)
Replay's up now (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33440)
Now, I just wait for the part, where I do the show this coming Thursday! This will make it my 3rd "Heroic" (Hard) mode clear done for the Touhou series!
-
I managed to beat Mokou three times this week (and my last one was successfully unlocking "Imperishable Shooting"). I think I only used one bomb which is on the final part (or else no 1up for you). Also managed to get Hourai Elixir, it was quite a good spellcard to do (*cough* Mishaguji-sama pattern *cough*), then I've unlocked some more in which I forgot.
I did a lot of 1CC (Normal, Extra) this past few days, whoa.
-
Marine Benefit on Hard fell to my badly-drawn Reimu A danmaku. I entered Mikoto with 5 lives - turns out that being fairly good at Touhou and realising you should abuse graze is a massive (Marine (kill me)) benefit.
-
Welp, got my Normal No Bomb run of SA...with 8 misses. Needs a lot of improvement, stage 3 I'm looking at you. But Orin and Utsuho were both no miss no bomb so that's cool. (so many stupid and easily avoidable deaths)
Time to work on that No Miss No Bomb.
-
I JUST captured all the spellcards with every shot in DDC. The joys of wasting your life away :>

Lunatic 1cc!
Of course, 1cc stands for: One Course Clear
So really, it's not that impressive.

SA Lunatic 4.074b (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaKvO5K9u8c)
Somehow I didn't game over, probably because I made some horrible mistakes on stage 2.
-
(http://abload.de/img/unbenannt5ejbm.jpg)
Finally. The game for once didn't deny me the 100m. And I overshot by a lot too. Had I cleared (muh, no lives entering Yumemi), I could have beaten Zil. I'll start on working on the video and upload the file to youtube. It's probably my best run in anything, despite the game over.
Next goal is PB with a clear. Eventually.
Congratulations denpa. It's a nice score. Don't play SA anymore though. It's terribly scary.
-
whoa, congrats! I wonder if I should be worried now. :p

Hey, nice job! That reminds me of, back in October of last year, when I beat Mokou for the 1st time using the Scarlet Team and, later, using the same strategy I used for the Scarlet Team more-or-less, the Border Team! :) The 2nd time I beat Mokou w/ the Scarlet Team, I unlocked Imperishable Shooting. It was so cool! All this, I did right after I got out of my almost two-year hiatus on Touhou and shmups. In-fact, it was among the 1st things I did, when I got back last August or so, beating Mokou was the 1st major thing I did. It took me two weeks to do, somewhat, though I didn't play everyday, and put in only a few hours each time, so yeah.
From beating Mokou, you are, no doubt, able to do many more incredible things! Keep at it! Your Touhou and general shmup power level will rise pretty quickly! ;)
Hmm, when I used a bomb on the final fairy before Mokou (I used the Scarlet Team at the time), I ended up getting a 1-up anyway. If I'm not wrong, you can still get a 1-up, as long as you don't bomb at the fairy, if that makes any sense. I think that's how that certain mechanic worked.
Also, nice job on catching Hourai Elixir? What difficulty did you catch it on? I was able to catch Hourai Elixir on easy mode, as it currently stands.
-
The second 1up item in IN Extra comes from defeating the death fairy at the end of the stage. It shouldn't matter if you used a bomb.
You might be thinking of the 1up in UFO stage 4? That one only appears if you don't die or bomb; if not, you just get a bomb item.
I'd actually interpreted Hinalyte's post as using a bomb to collect more point items from stage enemies, to more easily reach 666 items. (Though it's not needed, since there are over 1000 point items in IN Extra.)
Edit: Hmm, I've never seen that before, but I've usually auto-restarted if I ever died to that fairy.
-
The death fairy drops a bomb item instead of an life if you're invulnerable due to either a death or bomb when the fairy dies.

Subterranean Animism Lunatic 4-Miss No Bomb 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=32869)
Yay for distractions from PCB scoring! Very minor improvement on my SA 5MNB. Not satisfied yet.
3MNB or bust! :3
And maybe 2MNB if I really feel like it.
-
Yeah, that is how I recalled it, from my experience, though, it's been a while since October, when I first beat Mokou. I could have sworn that it did happen, I played through IN's Extra enough to recall it, but it's a little foggy.
I would post a replay of mine's that would show that certain fairy mechanic (I bombed around that last fairy's bullets, not at the fairy itself) on Imperishable Night's extra that I referred to, but unfortunately, my Scarlet Team replay (The one that would've showed that certain mechanic) has been glitched, so I have to go through it again. Oh well, I was going to play through Imperishable Night's Extra sometime again sooner or later. It'll be this summer, that I'll go back through it again. Can't let that go to rust.
-
Soooooo good news and bad news.
Good news, I 1cc'd EoSD Hard with ReimuA!
Bad news is, I accidentally windowed out of the game before I could save a replay so I couldn't save one. D: At least I know I can do it, so I can probably do it again sometime and save a replay then.
-
Recorded and uploaded my MoF LNB (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iV5NdCQaPE4). Honestly, I still can't believe I got it (I guess all I needed was to avoid a Stage 5 choke...)
-
whoa, congrats! I wonder if I should be worried now. :p
Probably not. At the very least not for the next few months. Or weeks. I don't know when I will start scoring again. PoDD is a beautiful and great game, but it can be very very frustrating, so I'd like to take a break before I try again. Not to mention that next time I will actually have to score past stage 6 instead of survivalscrubbing hoping for good RNG.
I uploaded the PoDD run. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol-O913R-XU
-
14 clears later and I'm done with IN on Hard Mode. Didn't get to play as much as I wanted to, so I plowed through what remained of IN's Hard Mode in the past three days, finishing Final A and B with all remaining characters as well as capturing all Spellcards up to Hard with them. Only character I had actual problems with was Alice, I had the most failed runs (twice in Stage 6 for Final B) with her, followed by Sakuya, whose very first run ended in Stage 5. Still, the runs with those two were among the ones that were the most fun.
Anyway, only PoFV left on Hard, then I'll do the fighting games with all characters on all difficulties up to Hard to finally earn my right to play 13.5 and 14.

I always use a bomb on it, but it always ends up giving a 1UP, so my guess is that it will give you a bomb instead if you get hit.

Clearing is too hard, but a PB is a PB. If I didn't gameover, it would have been 655M.

A weird accomplishment, but I just noticed that the fairy death animation in 14 looks really pretty, with the swirly confetti flower things and the ripples. Now I'm too distracted to play well.

Finally, my first legit Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=32881)! :o Eiki is such a goddess. I'm quite proud with this run since I don't use OP character like Aya this time.

Not trying to spoil your victory, but Eiki is in fact quite overpowered. Probably not as much as Medicine or Aya, but her boss laser notably breaks the AI and often leads to unreasonnably quick kills. My first Lunatic 1cc with her destroyed Reimu on the second round after 1:30 or something.
I didn't watch your replay though, so I can't say how it turned out for you.
-
Yeah well if you wanna technical about it most characters are capable of hitting the AI early in some way. Gotta draw the line somewhere, unless you really wanna only wanna count stuff like Mystia and Reisen 1ccs as "legit".
-

Haha, it's okay. In fact, I figured it out myself but somewhere in me denied that fact. I beat Reimu after wasting 2 lives. Next time I might use Reisen, I'm just not used to Reimu or Marisa's level 1.
-
Aya and Medicine are the only "broken" characters, with Shikieiki and Reimu being borderline (at least for me). Notably Aya is only broken vs. the AI. I got my first clear with Aya, then followed it up with Marisa and Reimu.
The reasons for brokenness are Aya's EX attacks are too fast for the AI to forecast (it looks a couple frames ahead), Medicine's EX attacks ARE outright broken when stacked (and trust me, they stack very fast), Shikieiki's boss attack (the laser one, specifically) has the same effect as Aya's EX attacks, and Reimu will rarely trap with her level 2+EX attack from the AI going inside it.
If you want a clear with a 'balanced' character, Marisa is probably the easiest, though she can trap with very close lasers, it doesn't happen often enough for her to really be considered broken. Reisen is a bit tricky as the AI will never be randomly hit, relying on luck a bit more, and Cirno is quite fun and effective, from my experiences.
-
I think the only 3 characters that virtually never kill anyone early (aside from Yuka, I guess) are Komachi, Mystia and Reisen. But that doesn't mean everyone else is OP as hell. In fact, to 1cc with Mystia or Komach is significantly easier than it is with Sakuya or Tei because those 2 are shit to play with while those 3 "weak" characters are easy to use effectively.
The only thing Eiki has that kinda fucks the AI up is her laser during her boss attack. The rest doesn't really faze the AI. She's not really overpowered and the only 1ccs I really wouldn't consider all that clean are Aya and Medicine, because they just wreck the AI to a level where it's not even funny. Don't feel like you have to use a "weaker" character to clear just for the full timers. Eiki is just as "legit" as those 3. Congratulations.

Yeah, both Sakuya and Tewi (especially the former) are characters I avoid plague due to their extreme inconvenience. The reason why I prefer Mystia and Reisen (especially the latter) is pretty much what you said. Yuka is arguably the shittiest for scoring, but she's still pretty fun to play with. I'm not really used with Komachi's scope style though.
That relieves me. Anyway, thanks for the congratulations.

Holy crap, got my first ever Lunatic 1cc in Imperishable Night! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=32905)
I had to bomb the hell out of the final card, but despite that I made it with one last bomb in stock. Whatever the case, I did it, and that's all that matters. ^^;

Subterranean Animism 3-Miss No Bomb! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=32907)
Yaaaay! :D
I've been aiming for this for a looong time!
Misses were: DBDB, Stage 5 midboss Orin 1st non (orz), and a really dumb clipdeath on Utsuho's first spell!
Now the only game I don't have 3MNB or less in is EoSD!

Got my second Overdrive in TD, this time Yoshika's. But what's more awesome, I did it with Youmu unfocused!

Hey I haven't played SA in years, let's play Extra.
Get to Koishi with zero lives in stock due to derping. Somehow remember how to do Ancestors. Get an extra life.
Lose it on third non-spell.
Take a deep breath.
OH SHIT POLYGRAPH HOW DO I, WAIT I REMEMBER. *capture*
Bomb Embers twice.
CAPTURE GENETICS AT 2 POWER. \m/
Die on the last second of philosophy trololol but I picked up a life at some point.
Capture Rose.
Not bad for being out of practice.
-
Heck yeah, I cleared and got 647M! Should be the second highest score on lunatic difficulty in the world now, with Ichizoku's runs being the only higher ones out there.

I just 1cc'd Mystical Power Plant on Normal with Utsuho/Reimu. Ended up capturing Mitama's last spellcard and had 5 spare lives at the end. :3 My score was like 29B or something like that. Nothing too high considering the game's scoring.

Magical Singular Day Absolution 1cc :D
(http://i.imgur.com/Sp9uLjf.png)
-
I made it to stage 5 in SA without using a continue. It may not be a 1cc but it is still an accomplishment for me because I was stuck on Yuugi for the longest time.
I lost most of my lives and most of my bombs to Recollection " Border of Wave and Particle", So, I entered stage 5 with 1 life and 1 bomb.
I don't have a replay because I went through the menu too fast and I didn't see the save replay option. :V

Ah, Stage 5, such a massive block, though you'll be surprised how easy it can be once you've unlocked it for Practice. Keep going!
And congratulations, Cactu, that is quite amazing, indeed. Best of luck with the world record!
-
Yeah Stage 5 in SA is a huge roadblock. I use ReimuB in that game so thankfully I typically just bomb at the right points if I get stuck trying to stream, and use Suika's draw power to grab back everything I used for the bomb. I dunno what you're using for your shot-type though. Alternatively ReimuA can easily warp to the other side and continue from there.
So, I managed to prove to myself that my EoSD Hard 1cc wasn't a completely fluke and managed to do it a second time. This run sadly was not as good as the other one, I didn't capture Thousand Needle Mountain like I did originally and Scarlet Gensokyo gave me a ton more trouble than it did before. Also the Sakuya fight was a lot sloppier. :V
But anyway, a replay (bear in mind since I never play for score I do not play the game with default 3 lives, although I _can_ 1cc EoSD on Normal with that setting.
-
Well there were no other major accomplishments in SA since I posted that last post although I made it to stage 6 once, but then I got killed by Orin's midboss spell. Other then that, the hardest parts for me are Satori's Recollections ( I play as Reimu A, so I have to deal with Double Black Death Butterfly and Border of Wave and Particle) and the part of stage 5 after midboss Orin that you have to stream at.

:V
I actually did not think to use the warp ability at that section. I usually just bomb that section. I guess I will try to do that tomorrow as I played enough of SA for one day.

Ah, midboss Orin on Stage 6? Best advice, stay at the bottom and do a figure 8 pattern. That's how I dodge Orin's spell and it works almost every time (unless I'm tired/exhausted and my timing is off). You could just try simple left-right dodging but the figure 8 leaves you with the room to avoid each line of bullets as it approaches you. Just make sure to give yourself about a centimeter or so of room from the bottom of the screen so that you have the room to move down. ^^ I hope that helps you.
If you want, here's my replay for SA. Despite it being my only 1cc, it isn't my personal best run for most of the game, I play _really_ sloppily and mess up a bunch. Also it is bugged, if you start it from Stage 6 or you skip parts of Stage 6 (even if you begin the replay earlier), it desyncs Reimu's movement once the Utsuho fight starts. But I hope this helps you regardless.
(came in here to originally post about 1cc'ing MoF with MarisaB without the power bug (VSync yay) and I ended up almost forgetting to mention that. :V It's notable since I ALWAYS use ReimuA in that game, and I derp died TWICE and didn't get the final score-based 1-up during the run.

Thanks to the advice and experience-sharing of Pirated during a chat in the IRC last night (sorry man for taking my frustration out on you :V) I decided to give ReimuA a shot (*ba dum tish*) in SA instead of trying to do it again with ReimuB. After a little practice, and doing the entirety of Stage 6 without any practice with ReimuA, I managed to do it! I have to say when I drop the insecurity of "oh I won't be able to grab the life pieces with all the stuff in the way", ReimuA ended up a lot easier than ReimuB actually. In fact, watch the replay (please lemme know if there's any bugs! I haven't watched it myself yet!). I derp die not once, but TWICE before Stage 5 even begins and I still managed a pretty comfortable 1cc.
So yeah ReimuA is amazing in that game and I dunno why I was so worried. :V Especially if I switch between focused and unfocused at the right time, I can hit the things I need to in the middle of dense bullet patterns (you'll see me do this a few times actually, staying unfocused so my needles can reach something).
I might actually go for it again sometime, since that run could've ended with 2-3 more spare lives than I ended up with (which was 0). Last thing I wanna mention. I mess up on Stage 5 trying to do it, but I do demonstrate just how trivial the spirits in Stage 6 can be with proper warping to the other side. At least, until it got too dense for me. ^^;
-
I was in school during my 6th period(One of the 2 periods that has computers) and I managed to get to Yuyuko even though there were about 2 times as many people in my class because of FCAT. Here is a quick summery of how things went.
Perfect Stage 1
A derp death to Chens first nonspell.
Perfect Stage 3
An almost perfect Stage 4, I die once to the second to last spellcard for the Prismrivers.
Stage 5 was Horrible. :fail: :colonveeplusalpha: I went from 5 lives and 3 bombs to 2 lives and 1 bomb.
Stage 6 was also Horrible. I die to Youmus midboss spell, get past Yuyukos first nonspell, and then I game over to her first spell.
I included the replay so you can see me do a less then average PCB run. :V
-
I cleared SA extra yesterday after like 1 retry, though I played it the other day on like 2+ hours for practice. I don't really like how it only gives life fragments only if you didn't die on the boss' nonspell/spell because I dunno you want to become a perfectionist if you want more lives. I was close on capturing Youkai Polygraph (I bombed on like 3 seconds before it ended). I hate the Genetics of the Subconscious spell because she moves everywhere, which means less time to shoot her.
My score was 442 million o.o. I didn't really captured a lot of Koishi's spellcards (adding that I only captured Sanae's second spellcard because derped on her first and wtf is her third).
-
So I decided to give PCB Extra a shot. Made it to Ran's survival card twice tonight.
And before today I couldn't even make it past Ultimate Buddhist. :V Ran is pretty easy to survive thanks to Cherry Borders and SAKUYA HAVING FOUR BOMBS PER LIFE. :3
I sense another Extra Clear soon.
-
Cleared PoDD Hard with Marisa.
I guess I'm slowly warming up to this game. Lunatic looks pretty fun and intense.
A bit late, but congrats on the sick score cactu ; good luck for the WR. :3
-
FFFFFFFFWHAT.
WHAT.
I wasn't even trying!! I wasn't even trying!! But no, here it is. Here it is. I beat Ran. Without even trying.
I really thought when I reached her last card, considering I had died several times without using bombs, that I would just lose.
No, Ran is the easiest Extra Boss in the series.
-
Congrats. And yeah, Ran is kind of weird. I first beat her at 1am with a headache when I just wanted to do something at least. :V
Most of her spells just have some weird spin on them that just kills you if you don't know what you're doing so once you know the tricks it gets relatively easy.
-
Thanks! And it's not really that she's just easier on her own (Mamizou is just as easy barring any helpful mechanics), since I did struggle with a few of her attacks. It's that unlike Flandre or Mamizou (the other 2 EX Bosses I have beaten), you have LOADS of chances to survive. Mamizou you can try to get into her fight with 4 spare lives through proper trance and bonus collecting, and you can possibly get a full trance bar filled at some point, but that's really all you get. And Flandre you get 2 spare lives during the stage and nothing else.
Ran you get:
-1-up during Chen fight and 1-up after her first spellcard
-2 1-ups through point item collecting
-2 bomb items dropped during fight with her
-Cherry Borders
And her attacks are no more difficult than Mamizou or Flandre's are, making her that much easier. I did TERRIBLE on that run, I didn't even go in with 4 spare lives, and due to all the survival help I just blitzed her anyway.
I even died several times when I had at least 1 bomb left. :V
Some of her cards are legitimately very easy though. Her first, third, and 7th spellcards I can capture reliably without needing to bomb at all or even use Cherry Borders (although I use a border during her first and 7th), and Spellcards 2 and 8 have a distinctive pattern that can easily be learned to move through. Her survival card isn't very hard, and her last attack takes FOREVER to actually become hard to dodge (and by that point it was too late for her, I beat her before it overwhelmed me).
You're right, though, it is weird how... easy she is compared to the others.
I think I'll take a break from Touhou or at least from seriously going after new achievements so I have time to work on my RPG Maker game, I've accomplished a lot lately. :V
Everything I've done just this year:
-1cc Mystic Square
-1cc Story of Eastern Wonderland
-1cc several games with shottypes other than my usual/1st 1cc
-1cc'd EoSD Hard
-Flandre clear
-Ran clear
-2 fangames 1cc'd, 1 of which also has an Extra cleared (MPP)
So yeah, pretty sure I've done enough for now. :P
-
It could be that Yukari was intended to be PCB's actual Extra, difficulty-wise.
Though actually Yukari isn't much harder (it's mostly the stage portion), and you still get just as many lives. She does have an extra memorization-based spell at the very end, but it's also much more feasible to reach 800 point items, so you get an extra life for that.
(The 800 extend is actually possible against Ran too, but you need to die no more than once throughout the entire stage, so it's not very useful for survival.)
If you're looking for another fairly easy Extra clear, I'd recommend Suwako. Especially with MoF's bomb system. Though if you can 1cc EoSD Hard I think you could handle the dodging in most/all the Extras, actually. A lot of Extra patterns are mainly about learning tricks.
-
Got my first Extra clear on DDC as SakuyaA today, thanks to the lovely folks at the gameplay help thread!
-
Not a massive achievement, but in a recent IN LNB I went perfect until Tewi. Was a fantastic run until then and it ended as an 8 miss run. 6 miss stage 6 because I flopped the opening of the stage and failed Kaguya's 1st, 2nd and 5th last spells. In a way, that run was very helpful because I've now bothered to practice Tewi's 1st more and found a decent strategy for it so I'll hopefully be perfecting stage 5 a lot more. Other 3 deaths were Mind Stopper, Brilliant Dragon Bullet and Life Spring Infinity.
-
My first PCB Normal 1cc! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33040) I was pretty close last time I tried it, but this time I finished with resources to spare, even despite that stupid first death. It enraged me so much I almost restarted, but I decided to go on anyway, and that rage actually paid off in some awesome playing. Another example against needless restarting, I guess.
I somewhat doubt I will be able to do this with all shottypes, but I'll try. Let's see how far my skills will lead me.
-
Got a perfect Stage 3 in PCB Lunatic recently (video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTiK-MYeFvE)).
LNB training is going quite well in this game, I guess. It still isn't something I could pull out today, but at least it doesn't seem out of reach given some practice.
Also cleared PoFV Lunatic Ultra (replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33044)).
It's not much harder than the regular game, but still fun.
-
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFokay...
So I was taking a breather from all the RPG Maker tutorials I was going through between last night and today and I decided to give MoF Extra shot.
Ended up beating Suwako after just a dozen or so attempts. :V That makes 3 Extra Bosses beaten in a matter of 2 weeks. O_O
EDIT: Also I uploaded a video of that Ran run I did. It was REALLY close now that I've watched the end of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VqKld1rVEQ
-
Went to go play TD extra, forgetting that my score.dat got wiped a while back. Well, I still want to perfect bosses, so I had to unlock the stages on lunatic again. I figured "why not just do a lunatic 1cc to unlock everything at once, should be easy, right?"
Well, sort of. I had a good run trainwreck by a few clips on Seiga, ragequit, decided to give it one more try, and cleared. Just like that.
It was still close due to yet another Miko trainwreck, including an insta-death to Ikaruga-dera followed by early clip on Guze Flash. I dodged the rest, bombed once on Honor the Avoidance of Defiance, dodged the rest to capture at 2 power despite a claustrophobic wave, farmed up a trance on the final spellcard and used it to preserve my final bomb for the final phase, which I used to ensure victory. Much closer than it should have been, much closer than I would have liked, but at least it shows my initial clear wasn't a fluke and it did unlock the stages, so I'm happy.
and yes, that's the 2nd time I've 1cced TD lunatic (mostly because I haven't played it since my first clear). I still say it's one of the harder lunatic 1ccs to get.
-
Cleared all scenes in Double Spoiler. Now I just got those last few scenes in StB left, and I can clear the DS scenes again with Hatate if I feel like it.
-
Good evening everyone,
A few days ago, I make accompishment of clearing lunatic Touhou 8 with ghost team. Unfortunately, I only acquire 2 billion points? Well, anyways, I learn to practice magic team soon I suppose.
Best warms~
-
PCB Easy NB 1cc! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33088) I think I got it thanks to sheer luck more than anything. I did a run right before this one, and it didn't even get to the final card.
Speaking of which, got another, much better Normal clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33089). Though that's probably thanks to a stronger shottype and lots of powerful bombs. I still doubt I'll be able to do it with remaining shottypes just yet.
-
Got the western record for EoSD Extra overall with ReimuB. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33098)

Wow in only 4 days. With that speed you could knock down scores in all games.
-
Uploaded my Suwako clear if anyone wants to watch it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBEB5rnCJQo
I'll upload Mokou... when I beat her... I got to Hourai Doll's last 6th or 7th of the attack but I'm tired and I'm losing my coordination so I'll try again when I get some sleep.
-
I improved my PCB run by ~20m with only 1 miss, this could be a no-miss if I didn't die stupidly at Shikigami "Chen". Funny, I used to have a high capture rate of it a few months ago and now I suck pretty much. Definitely have to watch replays of it. I reduced my bomb count for the survival card (bombed once when I got nervous as always during second last position change with many bullets), but I still need to watch carefully at replays with similiar route as mine. My favorite parts were when I master all of Ran's non-spells and capture Izuna Gongen for the 2nd time :D
-
I BEAT MOKOU.
I will post video of my run later. It was rough but I managed to pull it off. ^^
EDIT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y78NCcWyi38 < me VS IN Extra Stage
-
2 days ago, I beat my IN LNB 6MNB run. Somehow, I managed a 3 miss run. It was a bit messy in places; almost died to midboss Wriggle's nonspell, my positioning on Kaguya's 2nd last spell was shoddy and I almost got overwhelmed by the stage enemies on stages 2 and 5. Survived all those and halved my miss count. Ended as 3 deaths, no failed last spells with deaths to "Ephemerality 137", "Asteroid Belt" and "Buddhist Diamond". First 2 were because I got overwhelmed/dodged stupidly (in Ephemerality's case, I blame Keine for moving close to a side and then shooting the familiars at that side leaving me no time to kill them). Buddhist Diamond was because I thought I could sit on the pre-laser line things until the blue arrowheads had passed me but I died as I was moving off the lasers. Very proud of the run, captured a lot of stuff I normally fail (Marisa's 3rd non, Tewi's 1st, Dragon Bullet, Rising World and others). Only problem now is that it's going to be horribly difficult to improve. The idea of needing to perfect at least 4 stages (and almost perfect the other 2) sounds unlikely but I'll improve soon. You can expect me to return posting about my further improved run in exactly...14 years.
-
Just a question after reading your many LNB accomplishments. Do you have any plan on perfect IN Lunatic in like... 14 years? xD

Wow, nice job! That definitely beats my 3MNB.
Though, I guess in your standards, mine would be a 6MNB because I failed three last spells. I also have 3MNB FinalA but I'm not sure how many last spells I failed. It's been a while.
-
Just a question after reading your many LNB accomplishments. Do you have any plan on perfect IN Lunatic in like... 14 years? xD
The perfect 1cc is what I'm going for long term, but I feel like its an achievement if I can at least improve on the run, hence why I post so much about IN LNB runs. 14 years is an exaggeration of how long a perfect 1cc can take, but it could still easily take me a few years (it could also take a couple of days if I got godly RNG and didn't make stupid mistakes :V)
-
Tried to No-Bomb Ten Desires on Normal. Ended up needing to bomb on Seiga once and my instincts took over. :/ Thought I could do a No-Miss instead, so I took the chance to keep going. Ended up dying on Futo by accident. :/ ON THE PLUS SIDE, I didn't die again after that. I managed a 1-miss run of TD without hardly trying.
It's a very easy game, and I really think if anyone's trying to go for their first 1cc, Ten Desires is not a bad choice to go with. It was my second 1cc, and the first I felt proud of (IN I maxed out the lives so I could do it, and by max out, I mean I actually got to have the default lives set to 7 or 8, whichever the highest amount allowed is).
Here's the replay. It's not even my highest score (my highest score is 241M), but it's the run I'm the most proud of so far, mostly because it is the only main series Touhou game I got that close to not dying once in. ^^
-
omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg
I thought I'd have to engage in another few weeks of angst to get it, but... Phantasmagoria Trues Standard Unseen 1cc with 13 stock at the end! (And I fully blame the Danmakufu engine for not letting it be a 14-stock.) 33/43 spells captured.
I'll give it a few more whirls to see if I can improve it, but if not, videos are coming out over the weekend.
-
Congrats Jovial, that's amazing!
-
Well. Now I've got DDC decided to try on Hard, starts continuing on Benben with Sakuya A, loses all continues against Seija 2nd non-spell, I felt great getting to the forth stage without continuing, maybe that's a sign I'm ready for Parsee.
EDIT: No, I'm not.
-
I normally do Normal Mode 1cc attempts (Imperishable Night), but always have trouble. So, I decided to mess around with Extra Mode and Last Words earlier.
I actually managed to clear Blind Nightbird (Video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAk37b1fKtk)), and managed to get to HMD in Extra. Progress!
-
Got a no death run on SA normal finally (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33123). Probably gonna try TD and PCB no death runs now (or no death Koishi seems pretty possible now).
In other news I still suck getting a 1cc on MoF lunatic with kanako's last card YEAH DAD YEAH
-
I've never done a no death run yet but I can assure you, it'd be easy as hell in TD. Go for that first, I reckon.
-
Another Easy NB 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33129), highlight being Resurrection Butterfly captured at last. Another Normal 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33130), highlight being... being done with Marisa. Didn't expect anything out of either run. It's always nice to have such surprises.
-
I've never done a no death run yet but I can assure you, it'd be easy as hell in TD. Go for that first, I reckon.
No-death runs may take longer than you think, if you haven't done one. The way a single mistake can fail the run gets annoying sometimes... Though I'd agree TD would be one of the easier ones, with its refillable trances you can save for the harder patterns.
This brings back memories of the time I was going for a no-death run (actually a max lives clear, reaching the 20 extend as well)... I never did actually finish that.
-
After a month of grinding UFO, I wanted a break and played IN for a few hours and got my 4th 1cc on Normal of the Touhou games. Yay!

EoSD LNB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33139)

Not sure why, but I spontaneously started trying for a perfect DDC Extra last week, and just succeeded today. Raiko is actually pretty fun.
Also I just barely reached 730m, which is what I was hoping for. It would've been higher by bombing for PIV, but most of the points in this stage come from the spell bonuses and remaining resources.

-
Well, my new accomplishment that I just achieved is getting very close to a 1cc in EoSD.
My run went like this.
Perfect Stage1 and Stage2
Lost 2 lives on Stage 3. One on Meiling Midboss spell and another one at Meilings second-to-last spell card.
I think I lost a life in stage 4 but I had a perfect Patchy fight.
I lost a life to Sakuyas final spell card.
Stage 6- Lost a life to Remilias second non, Scarlet Netherworld, Remilias last non. Bomb Scarlet Shoot and enter Red Magic with 1 life and 1 bomb. I use the bomb early into the spell and manage to survive until I get her health halfway down and then I gameover because a fast bubble bullet hit me.
I will attach the replay but with the help of my friend, I recorded it and put it up on my friends YouTube.

What's that? I'm becoming CONSISTENT?! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33168)
Seriously, I'm not supposed to do this good just yet. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33169) (Normal version of Resurrection Butterfly captured.)
Sorry I keep posting PCB clears, but I'm seriously doing better than I expected. And since I go over shottypes in what I thought was descending order of how good I was with them, I have more doubts with each clear.

Congrats! Since PCB has one of the hardest easy modes due to it being barely any different from normal mode, then based on your progress, you could probably get a hard 1cc too. Resurrection Butterfly on hard is not much harder than the easy or normal versions, since the only difference seems to be the added red bubbles.
-
Not an accomplishment or anything (and I'm not sure where to post this), but speaking of accomplishments...
I believe someone's attempting to hijack Jaimers' DDC Lunatic 1CC accomplishment... (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdXkIpEcAEY)thought I'd throw it out there.

Haha that is hilarious, the person even showed the replay name.

Thanks. At the moment, I can get to Youmu with Sakuyas and past Lily with others on Hard. But that's an achievement for another day. For now, just wish me luck with remaining Easy NBs and plain Normal clears. I couldn't hope to do even that the previous time I picked up PCB, so I'm still a bit worried.

I actually just 1cc'd UFO on Normal with ReimuB myself. :P Will post replay later.
EDIT: Adding replay
-
I just got a 1cc in EoSD with Reimu B.
This time I failed on perfect freeze :V, Misdirection ,Sakuyas last spell, Star of David, and Scarlet Shoot. I also lost a life on stage 5 right before the midboss. I also got rid of Patchys first boss spell card right when I got hit.
I bombed a lot more on other spell cards like Patchys second spell card and Sakuyas last spell card
However, I would not have gotten the 1cc if I did not get an extra life for reaching 60 million points as I was entering Red Magic with no lives when I got the extra life .
-
One of my better runs on Nue (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33189) (seriously people who say she's the easiest EX boss can stuff it), captured her 8th card for the first time and ALMOST got her last card but messed up because imascrub
Went for a no-death run on PCB normal; last fairy before the prismriver sisters fucked me over ;;;
-
After working on improving my Aya total score in Double Spoiler, I've now reached my goal of 50 million points.
Now to clear the scenes I'm still missing in Shoot the Bullet.
Edit: Cleared all StB scenes now. The hardest scenes took me fewer shots to clear than the hardest Double Spoiler scenes.
Edit 2: And I've now cleared all scenes in DS with Hatate too. Some people won't see these achievements that I edited in, but oh well, I got them too quickly to feel they deserved a new post so soon after this one.

Congrats! What'll you go for next?
Also I 1cc'd PCB Normal with ReimuA, including my first and only capture of Delusion of Enlightenment. Probably could've ended the run with 2 more spare lives than I did, but me and my silly mistakes. ^^; I might try for a better SakuyaA run in the future, but I'm gonna do Easy and try Hard now since I need more spell captures to unlock Phantasm.
EDIT: Lol wrong spellcard name.
-
Congrats! What'll you go for next?
I actually have 4 things I can go for.
1. I can go for that SA 1cc with Reimu A
2. A 1cc of PCB with Reimu B
3. Beat IN Extra with Border Team
4 Beat EoSD Extra with Reimu B
I will probably focus on numbers 1,2, and 4. I might do IN Extra when I have some free time but I will not be focused on it for some time.
Also, I have a replay of my best EoSD extra run. I managed to make it to Taboo: Maze of Love but then I got a game over to it.
-
I hope you use the VSync patch.

Got my first Hard 1cc on EoSD today!

Stellar dodging everywhere!
RNG crysis!
I actually had a RNG of my own running for me when I did those holy-shit-I-shouldn't-have-done-that dodges on Sakuya's second non (until I died to some stupid part), or when I dodged that knife at the end of illusional misdirection
-
Good news: Master Spark is awesome, so here's another PCB Normal clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33240) (albeit a narrow one again). Bad news: lasers aren't too good by themselves, so no Easy NB this time. Oh well. Just one shottype remains, so keep your fingers crossed for me.
-
Hey guys, so, as of late last night, I finally managed, after like, two hours straight, and putting this off for about half a year due to University related stuff, I finally managed to clear what's considered the hardest scene of them all in Shoot the Bullet, scene 9-6! It was quite intense this one, and it had it's moments for just this one scene, but man, it was worth it! :D
lol, Don't ever make me do another one of this again! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33239)
Quite a nice way to start off the summer break for me, and it looks like the rest of Shoot the Bullet will fall into place soon enough! :) This is the first of many great achievements I hope to make this summer, both in Touhou, and in the various many shmups that I have on me (Can't wait for Mushihimesama Futari limited edition to come in the mail soon! Hopefully next week, maybe! :D)!

Got my best PCB Extra run so far (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33247). First time I made it past Ultimate Buddhist, all the way to Shikigami "Chen". Note that I didn't even try to learn it seriously yet, I came up with some strats on my own so far, though I clearly need to actually look up a few.

MoF LNB! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33260)
Pretty good run, I think. First death was to Hina's penultimate spell and, funnily enough, since my "mandatory" stage 3 death was at the beginning of the stage, I captured Hydro Camouflage and got a NMNB Nitori. I died to Momiji AND beat her too early, so two deaths there, then I died to the last large fairies set, and on Saruta Cross, for a total of 4 misses stage 4, yes I captured PWG. The highlight of the run is definitely stage 5, since it was NMNB. That makes two lives for stage 6, the first one was lost to Kanako's 2nd spell, and I managed to get the last all the way to VoWG, died at 20~% health left, and finished her before having to micrododge the last wave.
Dying on stage 2 and 3 (if it's not to Nitori) kinda blows, but stuff happens I guess, and I never had high expectations from stage 4, so I'm okay with how it turned out. Needless to say, that PWG capture was a huge morale boost, enough to NMNB stage 5, and I was actually nervous on stage 6, since I knew I had a chance to clear.
-
IN extra 2MNB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33264)
I didn't expect to get this one so soon considering my current consistency level at her attacks is still pretty bad (apparently I capture Possessed by Phoenix once per seven attempts, lol), but I'm really satisfied with this run overall! I actually held hopes for a 1MNB for a while but a really nasty 'death' on IS foiled it for me (at the same place every time! hate it!). The other death, unsurprisingly, was to Rings of Death.
It's crazy how much closer yet also much more daunting a perfect run becomes with each improvement because the game is basically telling me "now do it again! but even better!". I'll see whether I'm up to this, but for now, I'll just pour in a lot more attempts into this stage.
-
I'm starting to get used to Marisa! DDC almost 1cc:
Perfect Stage 1, 2 and 3, dies once in stage 4, dies twice to Seija (though I managed to capture those flippin spells), loses all lives to Sukuna's second spell.
Is it me or DDC is easy?
-
Final PCB session for now was good. Got lucky enough to get one more Easy NB clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33265). Also managed to get the final Normal clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33266), albeit after an expletive-filled restart. Fantasy Seal seems to be strangely underpowered in this game. Next are some thoughts about how I did in general.
Easy NB wasn't as hard as I expected, I feared I wouldn't be able to get even one clear due to how much trouble I had with plain Easy clears last time. I probably could try to get it with shottypes I failed with, but that would require more luck than skill at this point. I'll work on these some more when I'm back with more skill instead.
Normal clears went along nice enough, I didn't expect to do this good either. I knew I could do it with Sakuyas, but getting it with everyone is a nice surprise. Some clears were narrow (Marisa's), some had enough lives to spare (Sakuya's), so I think I can switch to NB runs here as well.
Extra, Hard and Lunatic saw some advancement as well.
Next up are UFO and SA. Think I can get Normal clears there? I hope so.
-
Lunatic EoSD cleared (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33268)
Not as sloppy as yesterday, though I still can't get the hang of Scarlet Gensokyo without trouble and Stage 5 last spell timed out :c

(http://abload.de/img/unbenanntg3j70.jpg)
I went ahead and cleared the whole game while I was at it, so to not allow too much distraction from IN. I'm not too interested in doing every scene without items (where possible). Some scenes were hard like 4-6, or 10-7, but most things were easy if you know how to handle them roughly. Scenes that caused the most trouble were 10-3, 10-4 and 10-9. 10-3 because it was hard, hands down. I didn't get 10-4 until I started being retarded, funnily enough. When remilia started shooting the undodgable barrage of knives I tried spinning them and then lived long enough to see that she doesn't shoot the knives that way for forever. That was silly of me. Normally, 10-9 would have been disgusting memoshit, but I somehow managed to bruteforce it with Tanuki item. Would need a route for not scrubby clear though.
Speaking of memoshit: 10-6 was gross. Grossest curvy lasers I have ever seen. Fucking Byakuren.
Overall the game was quite fun. Not a bad game by any means. It had its problems however with some things. I felt quite bullshitted in some scenes (like 10-7, my strat was "get lucky"), but that was mostly because I didn't care enough to experiment with items, I think. Others were much too easy if you consider the name of the game (like 10-2, what the fuck was that? Using an item on that would be an insult to the player). I also didn't like Seiga's shot much, it felt pretty weak. There was also heavy rehashing in some scenes. Particularly in the stage with Yatsuhashi and Benben
which I didn't appreciate. Other scenes were quite creative though. But it's probably not a game I would consider playing seriously. Perhaps single scenes, but not as a whole...
But now that I am done, I can go back to IN without worrying about getting distracted.
-
Day 3 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uWNa96OXgI) no items done now
-
Made it up to Day 9 in
Impossible Entirely Plausible Spell Card. EDIT: Day 10
Or as it was called on my stream, "hella rude spell card"
19 different cards so far cleared without tools, including one of the Day 9 cards. (Too bad you don't get auto credit for the unobtained items, so I've actually got some tools that have less clears than my total tool-less clears... oops)
-
Yessss. Just completed my 44th (e:now 47th) no item stage clear in ISC. I feel very accomplished. There's some more stages I could get but they'd actually be difficult and take grinding out; just about all the ones I do have I should be able to get decently consistently, which is good for the next statement, being...
I should be able to get to Final Day from a fresh score.dat with no trouble without using any items, so I might do some silly speedruns of noitem% onstream sometime. Technically I don't have to clear anything on final day for that, but there's three cards that aren't too bad to noitem capture on day 10...
-
This is probably common knowledge already, but here it is anyway.
5-3 safespot (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqYNTt12yTw)
Another easy no item clear-I think that brings me up to 22 without even being done with the stage yet. Man, this game is so much fun, first, you get to cheat at the danmaku, then, you get to try to take on stuff that feels like a balanced ultra mode.
-
I just finished clearing all the scenes. It was surprisingly simple for most, especially given the game's title. For the spells that didn't look doable in a reasonable amount of time without items, I usually used tanuki+doll or lantern+doll and tried to deal damage on top of the boss whenever I used the item. It worked up until a few stage 10 spells.
I'm also at 38 41 scenes green, if I counted correctly. (Normally I used secondary doll for that for the extra damage, but the camera's speed boost was very helpful in a few scenes like Aya/Hatate's camera spells.)
Also I scored 9,105,170 points in 10-2 (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=15428.0;attach=35892) by using tanuki+mallet and suiciding, which seems rather absurd. There's potential for lots of improvement though if you can stall out the rest of the timer without dying, to graze all the sets of lasers.
-
Grats to those who cleared.
I managed to bag them all myself just a while ago. 10-9 was a bit of a mood killer though, as well as 8-7.
12 hours in the span of 2 days I feel is a bit much time for me to be spending on a Touhou game, so I'll probably slow down on it again for a while.
I'd post a complete score.dat and replay folder, though my computer crashed a while after I and lost the dat and one of my replays. Won't be in a rush to grind everything again though.
-
8-7 is easy if you use the doll to redirect the aimed knives... or were you trying to clear it without items?
-
It took me quite a while to figue out using the doll. Wanted to try other items for score, until I gave in and went back to level it.
-
Aaaaaand 10-9 Green clear.
I love Remilia too much to cheat that attack.
-
Finished day 4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkE93NdOAOI) no item yesterday. Abused the pause button on 4-6 though because the luckshit of surviving 4 waves was a bit too much for me. Also have day 5 done aside from 5-2 so far...

I literally just managed 5-2 with a LOT of pause abuse...got everything else through 7-4 without having to pause, though one of Momiji's was waiting for about 30% odds 3 times a row, so that was a bit of a pain.
-
Fully cleared most days. Day 10 and Day 7 are my big problems right now (and 5-5 for some reason). I'm sure I'll get them sooner or later. I'll work on no item clears eventually.
-
Yay cleared 66 scenes without using items.
Only ones remaining are 4-6, 6-5, 7-4, 8-6, 9-1, and 10-4 to 10-7.
4-6 seems ridiculous but possible. 6-5, 7-4, 8-6 I'm not sure. 9-1 I have no idea how to do. 10-5 and 10-6 seem possible albeit super annoying. 10-4 is super silly but possible.
10-7 seems completely impossible though.
-
6-5, 7-4, 8-6 I'm not sure.
Can't say for 8-6, but I do have 6-5 and 7-4 cleared itemless. 6-5 was just retrying until the bites played nice (one laser ALWAYS seems to be aimed...), and 7-4 was retying until 5 waves didn't throw a nasty laser between the 2 I chose to dodge between.
51 scenes cleared here, 51 no item clears :dealwithit:
-
I actually managed to learn how to read the waves in 4-6 a bit. For the most part though, my trick is just slowly tapping down while focused, my vertical position being somewhat to the left/right of Yuyuko. Admittedly, part of it was because I used Decoy Doll sub to make Yuyuko die on wave #4; wave 1 is basically a free pass though and I could usually dodge the waves, so it was only a matter of time.
Once I got decent at the waves, it was just a matter of not getting screwed by the straight-falling cherry balls too much. I now consider them more difficult then the actual waves Yuyuko shoots out. They're usually what get me killed.
This probably makes it look easy, but it took a lot of resets. Still, with this strat, I'm sure someone like Jaimers can do it. Replay file link because I'm too lazy for youtube (http://puu.sh/8Jt0h.rpy) Then again, to some people, 20~ resets might not sound like much.
Finished day 4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkE93NdOAOI) no item yesterday. Abused the pause button on 4-6 though because the luckshit of surviving 4 waves was a bit too much for me. Also have day 5 done aside from 5-2 so far...
Safespot on 4-4 is hilarious. If you feel like you cheesed 4-6 too bad, my strat could help you remedy that, too. I have no idea how you're going to do 5-2, though...
I'm curious how people are doing some of these cards, like 5-4, 8-7, and Nitori/Futo's stuff. With no main item, that is. I think I'm at 53 no item clears? 2-5 is just too much for me ;_;
-
1-5: Ice Sign "Icicle Fall" -Easy-

For the most part though, my trick is just slowly tapping down while focused,
Cool, that did the trick. Caught 4-6 and 7-4.
I'm curious how people are doing some of these cards, like 5-4, 8-7, and Nitori/Futo's stuff.
For 5-4 you can destroy the barrels. 8-7 is just streaming and misdirecting.
For Nitori's first you stay above her and for her second you stay under her while misdirecting the aimed shots slightly to your sides.
Futo's first is super trivial. Her second is dodging.
Make use of the super shotgun whenever possible. Like for the start of 8-7 and Futo's second.
-
For 5-4 you can destroy the barrels.
Oh my god. Thanks.
I'm pretty interested in seeing your 7-4, by the way. That card is a nightmare.
-
I'm pretty interested in seeing your 7-4, by the way. That card is a nightmare.
Sure.
I've noticed the lasers from the sides tend to be way denser at the bottom so stay a bit up for those.
While I'm at it 6-5 is horrible. :<
EDIT:
IHNM can you share your replay?
-
Here it is, though this was mostly the result of just repeating attempts for about an hour until I finally got through 3 bites and didn't get laser sniped. As I mentioned earlier I'm pretty sure one is aimed, but the rest were luck.
-

Thanks.
In other news, 10-6 caught. Ended up almost timing it out lol.
Also almost captured 10-5 but it's kinda really finicky.
6 remaining!

Congratulations, Denpa. Pls don't quit.
-
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa captured 8-6 that was crazy
Also holy crap 2.2 billion congrats.
-
Well i cleared D1 itemless and currently trying to do the same on D2.
And you're all crazy. In a good way.
-
...and upon seeing Day 10 I completely threw out any hopes of getting many more no item clears. 10-4, 10-6 and 10-9 weren't even fun to play.
As it stands though, I cleared all the scenes, 66 without items. The only ones I don't have are:
8-6: I could do it if I wanted to grind it out, not really too interested at the moment though.
8-7: I just can't read this well enough to dodge it.
9-1: ARF has a nice strategy for this uploaded-I just don't feel like learning it.
10-4: Uhhhh....if I couldn't read 8-7 I couldn't read this kthx
10-5: I could get this one if I could get through the 3rd wave once. But again, effort.
10-6: Not even fun nope
10-7: Literally impossible? Not quite-I dodged a wave, once. Improbable describes it better.
10-8: I can't keep up with this one or react to Tenshi's movement well enough.
10-9: Also not even fun nope
Hardest few scenes to no item were definitely 4-3 (those butterflies ;-;), 5-2 (arrows!!), 6-5 (my no item was luck), 7-4 (likewise, though a bit less so), 8-4 (I'm bad at micrododging), and 10-3 (even though it was really fun, except when I died on the last spark I needed 4 times).
If the game ended on Stage 9 I'd have been happier I think, Stage 10 was just so much less fun than everything before it ;-;
-
When you go for no-item clear, the Yin-yang orb in sub in a must-have right ? Because it reduces your hitbox ?
-
When you go for no-item clear, the Yin-yang orb in sub in a must-have right ? Because it reduces your hitbox ?
Depending on the scene, I would have the Yin-Yang, Cursed Doll or Tengu Camera. Cursed Doll increases damage and if you sit on the bosses head deals a ton really quickly, the Yin Yang is useful in some levels but usually less so, and the Tengu Camera is useful vs. Aya and Hatate.
-
Doesn't manipulating your hitbox, speed or fire spread also count as
cheating
? I assume a no-item clear means playing with everything set to default.
-
Impossible Spell Card progress so far: Cleared all scenes. Most of them were pretty easy except for a few scenes on Day 10. Also, cleared days 1 and 2 with no items. Currently have all nicknames except 17.
Doesn't manipulating your hitbox, speed or fire spread also count as cheating
? I assume a no-item clear means playing with everything set to default.
As far as I can tell, the game still gives you credit for no item clears even when you take advantage of those sub items, and I believe quite a few people have been doing just that in their no item runs. Maybe it's intentional, so Seija can still bend the rules even when it's supposed to be a no items run.
-
10-9 isn't hard at all, actually, to no-item. Tengu Camera as sub-slot and go at it like it's Suwako's first survival spell... giving Remilia a wide berth, naturally.
-
Day 7 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptS0RJDKj7w) no item. Still missing 5-2 and 6-5. Almost done Day 8 as well aside from the last two.
-
Maybe it's intentional, so Seija can still bend the rules even when it's supposed to be a no items run.
The thing is, the passive effects from subitems aren't rulebending. Moving a little faster or having a bit stronger of a shot isn't really cheating. Having a smaller hitbox could be argued... but against most cards it actually isn't terribly helpful anyway (although on, say, 6-4, definitely)
10-8: I can't keep up with this one or react to Tenshi's movement well enough.
Use the decoy doll as sub and you'll trash a lot of the stones before they fall. It'll make the danmaku more insignificant and you'll hurt tenshi on the side. It should be pretty easy this way, I didn't have any trouble at all. I also did it on the far right, but I'm not sure if Tenshi will reliably stay over there if you sit there or not? I didn't really test it much.

Having a wider shot means you don't have to risk going out of position to align yourself with the boss as much. The camera will let you shoot Mokou for a bit longer in the suicide bomber spell i.e. things end faster. It also makes Nitori's 2nd considerably more fun.
That's what I think. I want to hear everyone's view on it before I go ahead and produce a bunch of clears/scores with the sub doll.
-
A lot of the cards are really painful to clear while using the effective subitems as it is. From what I've seen in everyone's videos and replays, they're considered fair game. There's no doubt that subdoll is really powerful, but some cards are impossible to not timeout in itemless attempts without it, and in other cases it's a matter of a nigh-impossible card taking twice as long and becoming even more impossible.
Granted, many stages are quite doable without them, but there's not much point in maintaining a doublestandard for something like this, and the stages that aren't that hard without them already aren't that hard to clear either way.
-
Well that was fun. Played PCB Extra for giggles and cleared with 2 spare lives and a bomb. Captured Ran's last spellcard, too. It was funny because Charming Siege From All Sides decided it didn't like me today and I messed up on her third spellcard, one I usually capture. Overall though I'm happy about this clear because of that beautiful finish. Also my score is like 130M higher than the last one I did (347M as opposed to I think it was 210M).
-
Dear god...Day 10 was a hellhole...except for the very last card (since I capped it in my first try). Anyway, finally cleared the game for real.
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qw6wb01FsUU)
Now to other things. But speaking of the last card...is it possible to pull a BoLaD safespot in some way? I'm going to no-tool that card whenever I have the chance.
-
So I got a 6 Death LNB run of PCB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33295)
Not quite the 5 miss run I was aiming for but eh.
And 3 deaths were just blunders so I guess my next goal will be a 3 miss run
-
9-1: ARF has a nice strategy for this uploaded-I just don't feel like learning it.
10-8: I can't keep up with this one or react to Tenshi's movement well enough.
10-9: Also not even fun nope
Played a bit more today, got no item clears of these ones and almost on 8-6. However, I hit the 10 hour nickname/achievement/trophy/whatever and decided that was a good place to stop. 69/75 no item clears is pretty good I'd say, though again if I really put effort into it I could get up to 72 (missing 10-4, 10-6 and 10-7-ok maybe I could get 10-6 but that card is just dumb).
edit: Holy crap just got 10-7 no item by pause buffering every laser wave (all 15) ...pause buffering wouldn't really help any of the ones I'm missing now, but that's 70. 8-6, 8-7, 10-4, 10-5 and 10-6 remain...8-7 looks to be a likely pick, and I've had a 1 mistake 10-5 so that should be quite doable.
re-edit: Yep 8-7 fell quickly, 71 no item clears so far. If I ever get 10-4 I will get 75/75.
-
Capped 6-5! 1-4+6/7/9 no itemed now :D. Can't seem to upload right now though for some reason. Maybe youtube's broken ;_;. Anyway, missing 5-2, 8-6, 8-7, and all of 10 aside from 10-1 right now.
EDIT: Nevermind, it works now. Day 6 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZC10DlXHlo).

The real way of clearing stage 3-7 in ISC. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QknlY13wS-I) (Does this even count as a capture?)
Shortly afterwards, just choked a stage 3-6 timeout...at 2 seconds. Same as usual; no-item, pacifist timeout attempt. I need to work on this before I get ninja'd (like the VoWG timeout days).
-
The real way of clearing stage 3-7 in ISC. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QknlY13wS-I) (Does this even count as a capture?)
The game gave you the spell bonus and the extra 100,000 points for clearing the stage, and it normally considers the spell captured one last time (in this case the only time) when the timer runs out, so I don't see why it wouldn't count as a capture.
-
Cleared UFO Normal. Not a 1cc, but managed to finish stage 6 after using a continue (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33312). Got this far only a few times before, and nearly forgot everything by now, but still did very nicely, much better than before. If not for a stupid mistake earlier, might've got a 1cc as well. Still, this is good enough for now, other shottypes will have it harder anyway.
-
1cc'd PCB on easy with all shottypes, so I attempted normal (with ReimuB, my favorite). Got the 1cc on the first try :V
It isn't much compared to all these UFO LNBs and stuff in this thread, but it's still something, at least compared to my usual skill level.
All the cherry trees in my town are blooming this week, coincidentally.

Guess in that case, it counts as a real capture upon timeout.
Also speaking of 3-6, I finally achieved the desired timeout. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XdtNU5MXV4) I don't know if it's just me, but this is actually a fun card to timeout, albeit nothing compared to VoWG but whatever.
screw having a small hitbox

Congratulations on the no items all clear!
Here's some ISC scoring: (http://youtu.be/pIa8OWlkiZM) 6.8M on 6-7, 9M on 3-1, 7.9M on 5-3 and 10.4M on 10-5. I'm really enjoying this game so far :3
-
Timeout-related as usual, but aside from 4-3 (which I shouldn't even go over for obvious reasons), 8-5 is a complete joke to timeout - you don't even need vertical, focus, or even items to even accomplish this one. Trying to achieve a timeout on 4-1 but I only got the first 30 or 35 seconds down at the moment.
-
11.7 million on 6-7 (http://imgur.com/NLV6z6w)
12M is definitely possible, but circling can be a little too strict without sub-yinyang

4-3: 4.2M
5-3: 9.3M
6-1: 2.0M
6-7: 12.8M
8-2: 3.5M
It's basically supergrazing: the game, which is pretty cool, though a lot of the scenes are much better than others.
-
pushed my 6-7 score to 12.4M.
It's kind of annoying to get hit by "nothing" while circling, so I'll leave it like that.
-
My choice of items in 6-7 was dumb; I managed to score 12M today.
Here's 5.6M on 3-7 (http://youtu.be/kAKK28470kw), which was a bit harder since it also involved speedkilling.
-
I'll just dump all my achievements here:
Normal 1CC's in everything except DDC (just got my UFO one today!)
Hard 1CC in IN (both routes with Reimu Solo)
Unlocked every Last Word and captured all but Yukari's, Kaguya's, and Alice's
Cleared Extras in IN, PCB, and MoF (done today!)
Got to BoLaD once
StB Scenes: All in acts 1-7, all but 2 in 8, only missing Kinkaku-ji in 9, 4 in 10, and 5 in EX
DS Scenes (Aya): All in acts 1-7 and Spoiler, all but 3 in 8, missing a bunch in the rest

ISC scoring:
1-5: 1.38M
6-7: 12.9M
8-2: 3.6M

I've played ISC a bit during the past week as well. 24 hours, if we were to go by the time the game has tracked. But I think I've left it open on the background for a good couple of them. I didn't feel like putting a lot of mind into most of what I did, resulting in fairly half-hearted results. Attempt counts vary, but I'm unsure whether to trust them: some of them seem way too high and others too low. Most of the scenes are fairly silly, or luck based, but there are a few attacks I like. A fair majority of what I did with the game belongs to the luck or silly building, though. - It was effectively very easy to get a so-so score in scenes where the grazing consists of sitting on a single spot and waiting for my invulnerability to wear out.
1-2: 5.772M
2-1: 2.658M
2-5: 830k
3-1: 10.129M
3-6: 4.456M
4-1: 2.929M
4-2: 2.268M
5-1: 2.236M
5-6: 5.474M
5-7: 1.617M
6-5: 4.645M
6-7: 13.232M (There seems to be a new strategy for this (http://score.royalflare.net/th143/replay143/th143_ud0026.rpy), allowing 20M+ scores, but it feels a tad bit annoying to do, as it requires lucking out the correct camera angle enough times. Or maybe there is something to control it with? I don't know, I'll put more research into it tomorrow, as this is certainly one of the better scenes in the game.)
8-1: 970k
8-2: 3.790M
10-1: 3.273M
10-2: 16.182M
10-4: 6.237M
10-5: 10.923M
10-6: 2.018M
10-10: 4.260M

ISC all scenes clear. All nicknames unlocked (except the hidden 10). 30 spellcards captured without items. Done within 12 hours and 20 minutes of playing. Special thanks to those who helped me with those two spellcards.

I too will post THE SCREEN.

Yeaaaaah. Do we have any translation for this yet, by the way? I can't find it on the wiki.
-
There's some translations on Touhou Patch Center (http://thpatch.net/wiki/Th143) but I'm not sure how complete it is.
EDIT: Jumping on the bandwagon, all scenes clear, except I don't know how to screenshot in fullscreen so I can't post THE SCREEN :<

So, after losing four times with Reimu, I switched to Marisa and got this first try

I love how you can just kill bosses with the charge laser instead of reflecting them
-
Killed ISC 10-9 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQyoPaXhLTM) in under 30 seconds, before the timer could start displays its ticking down. The umbrella was useful for once! I actually think this is how ZUN intended you to do it, since it makes the difficulty much more in-line with the rest of the stage with items.
Admittedly, this does throw a monkeywrench in any ISC ILs...
-
Recent accomplishments:
Cleared all days for ISC. (got all achievements up to 60)
Ten Desires 1cc Normal with Sanae. Been working on that for about two weeks.
Then proceeded to 1cc Ten Desires on Normal on a complete whim with Marisa on the first try. ???

ISC combo breaker incoming: I just beat Raiko, so I'm a very happy bunny. 'Pristine Beat' is very fun to play, I shan't lie.
Oh, and to lessen the combo-breaker-y-ness of this post, I'm a mere one scene away from 'clearing' ISC. It was quite fun to play a game I reached Day 10 on in one real-life day.

Hey guys I beat ISC in under 42 minutes :V
But seriously there's 3 minutes in large mistakes here*, to say nothing of potential route improvements+smaller optimizations. Also, I found out playing 10-10 while trying to shotgun is really fun.
*20 seconds on 3-4, 30 on 8-6, 30 on 9-5, 40 on 10-6, and 60 on 10-9 from failing the hammer strat a few times

Honestly, beating 10-9 no-item might be more difficult than full-clearing the game in less than an hour, assuming you figure out easy strats for scenes beforehand. Just about every scene has an item combination that makes it trivial.
It -is- a game I'd consider speedrunning sometime though, as I'd mentioned before. IHNN you should stream it sometime
-
That's 10-4, Not 10-9, And Also, Not The Post Before Me, The PostS.
I'm don't like speedrunning much, as I make maaaaaaany mistakes.

ALMOST got a Normal 1cc in SA. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33373) Note that I reached stage 6 only once before, and only with this shottype. But this time, I got all the way to the final spellcard for the first time. It's much harder than Easy version, so I paniced and lost two lives. Though I don't know whether all those bombs I didn't use would help. Still, had some awesome moments like capturing "Fixed Star" with no power (Safespot? What safespot?) and doing very well on "Hell and Heaven Meltdown" (that derpdeath was where I started panicing).
-
Hey guys, it's been a while! So, as of just earlier, I finally managed to get my 1st ever 1cc of Great Fairy Wars! Man, that was awesome I did it, that game used to beat me so bad before, but wow, I sat down for an hour, and well, I just it! :D It actually wasn't that hard to do, haha (Well, before that, I've been doing practice mode "Legendary" (Lunatic) mode for Perfect Cherry Blossom for a few hours beforehand and throwing in a few credits before I got a little miffed at restarting stage 1 over and over for a bit because of silly mistakes, making me decide to do some other game, so that might have helped out a bit)! It felt like beating down a bully that always used to mess with me! :3

Replay's up now (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33439)
Well, the score was rather meh, but considering what it was, this is a nice start! :) For the 1st time, I put a stop to the great fairy plan to hold the human village ransom for a hundred billion scorepoints, lol! (That part wasn't actually in the game. Lame Austin Powers joke, I know.)
Great Fairy Wars is actually quite a nice game, and wow, the art in that game was quite nice! Cirno and the Three Fairies of Light were very well drawn, just like in the manga Touhou Sangetsusei, done by the same artist, Makoto Hirasaka, who did that same manga!
-
YEEESSS! SA Normal 1cc!!! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33384) :toot:
Man, that final spellcard IS hard. Just watch me losing all those lives to it. I feel no shame for gameovering on it the last time or any time in the future. Still, some awesome playing from me in that run. Like several 0 power spellcard captures.
Also, that "Tears of Blood" line isn't there when you watch credits after an Easy clear, so it's the first time I've seen it. Actually made me giggle out loud.
-
I played some more touhou 14.3 and actually no-item'd 10-7. o/
Only 10-4 and 10-5 left.
10-5 is just super annoying and luckshit and I don't really get 10-4 as I can't seem to kill it in time before the second shitstorm starts.
-
Woo I got a star score on royalflare for ISC...probably won't last too long, but in the meantime I'm pretty satisfied with this.

I finally captured Lunatic VoWG.
Many thanks to Chirpy (?) for the various practice patches, it helped a lot.
I'll try to NMNB the whole stage 6 next.
-
Alright, got another SA Normal 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33397)! Nitori's shield is very useful for survival. Also, here's my best Hard attempt (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33398).

Virtue of Wind God Timeout (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHF6eZsPb7Q)
It was done using the practice patch that Chirpy recently shared (Thank you very much for sharing it!). Also, I managed to get an EoSD NMNB Stage 6 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FbCG5Z0Zp0) on Lunatic several days back, which I'm also pleased about.
-
50 scenes cleared no-items in ISC. /o/ Just got serious about this the past couple days, I've already come pretty far I'd say. There are some serious barriers ahead, but after handling things like 4-6 and 4-3 I feel like I could take it all...just don't ask me how I'm to manage 10-4. >_>

So Donut got me to play some more 14.3 so I beat all the scenes without using items now! :dragonforce:
LYX may have beaten me in real-time but I still have the moral victory in that I no-item'd all scenes in 4 hours less game-time! :V
Video coming soon I guess.

Video coming soon I guess.
And here it is. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VInpkQz5Z90)

Just 1CC'd SA with ReimuB for the first time after not using her for about a month! I even had two deaths against Parsee and one against Yuugi and ended up with two lives.

I captured 10-9 without items, that one spellcard which I finished the last :V
-
Hey guys, I've come back again! Yeah, after a few days of playing Subterranean Animism, I finally got my 1st 1cc of the game (On normal mode, at least)! I beat it using Marisa and Patchouli, one of my most favourite shot-types in the game! (Marisa & Alice is my other favourite shot-type) :)
http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o798/PurpleTheGuy/1st1ccofSubterraneanAnimismyay_zps9b4ab075.jpg
Yay! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33426)
Yeah, this game also used to beat me so bad, back when I tried to play it several months before, and even further back, and now, I've overcome this one, too, at last! :) Man, it feels so good, finally beating this one, and to tell you, it was quite a blast, playing this one! I'm looking forward to getting further with this game as well, hopefully beat the "Mystic" (Extra) stage of Koishi Komeiji, and then the harder difficulties, as well as beating the game with the other characters! :D
For now, though, I can finally get to playing other games, finally. This game really did teach me some good streaming lessons (Heck, I even found one super graze technique I can actually do in SA). Hopefully, I can take that with me to other games as well.
-
1cced normal with ReimuA and SakuyaA.It was harder for me ,because the new things like:bigger hitbox,reversed control ,giga bullets just always killed my 1cc run.After 1ccing i did extra on my 2nd try and practiced Blue Lady Show and Pristine Beat.The last seconds of the timeout always force me to bomb.
This game is one of the hardest touhou game IMO.
-
Got a 3MNBNBB run of PCB
1 death was retarded but I got through stage 6 spam so I guess it evens out.
I'll probably make it my goal to "perfect" the game by the end of july, which will mean I'll probably start streaming when I start getting closer to that...
If I don't kill myself in frustration over Youmu's second spell card (first end stage spell card) before that happens, anyway.

Ahahaha. I'm sure you can do it if you don't give up like I did (or lose your sanity)
A year has passed and I still don't have mine, despite my six 1-miss runs.
-
Finally Completed ISC! (I Used Items On Two Of The Scenes, Sooooo, Not A Perfect Run.)
-
I completed all scenes in ISC (that happened 2 days ago, actually) and got 59 of the 60 visible nicknames (the only one I don't have is the 10 hour one) (this happened today).
Also, 6-7 is a silly scene to speedrun (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/64600169/th143_ud67sr.rpy).
-
While everyone else is beating ISC scenes without items, I 1cc'd GFW on Normal for the first time. So that's something.
-
I managed to get to Utsuho after about 15 continues, but couldn't beat her before I started failing easy stuff like Orin. I only even managed to get to stage six anyway because I somehow managed to time out Orin's last spell with 0 power. I am still quite happy for clearing stage 5. :)

Very nice, unmatched sock! I did this myself not too long ago, and now, I'm clearing Great Fairy Wars on normal mode fairly consistently, and with increasingly better scores on a couple routes. I'm hoping to clear one of the routes on "Heroic" (Hard) mode, which is pretty close. Once you clear Great Fairy Wars once, you start to get pretty consistent with the game, and then you start to really see that Great Fairy Wars isn't really all that bad, as well as Great Fairy Wars being a ton of fun to play, to where you can really start to appreciate the game itself, and want to get better at it by increasing your scores, try the harder difficulties, beat the "Mystic" (Extra) stage, and whatnot! Best of luck on your future endeavours with Great Fairy Wars! Which route did you manage to 1cc in Great Fairy Wars? What was your score like?
Also, yeah, I'm going to plan to play Impossible Spell Card, once I beat all of Shoot the Bullet (I'm very close to doing this) and all of Double Spoiler (I will get cracking on this after I finish off Shoot the Bullet).
I managed to get to Utsuho after about 15 continues, but couldn't beat her before I started failing easy stuff like Orin. I only even managed to get to stage six anyway because I somehow managed to time out Orin's last spell with 0 power. I am still quite happy for clearing stage 5. :)
You're beginning to get pretty close, Youmu. Since you cleared stage 5, you now have it for practice mode, which will help out a lot in you eventually being able to 1cc Subterranean Animism. Practice stage 5 a lot, and eventually, you'll make it! A Subterranean Animism clear for you is close at hand! I can try to give you some tips myself, if you like. I cleared Subterranean Animism myself not long ago using Marisa B (The one with Marisa & Patchouli), so I can help out a bit.
-

You have a strange definition of "easy".

I'm keeping to my one-movie-a-month rate!
Phantasmagoria Trues Advanced Area 6 1cc ~ RATE x7.12 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDzBM1oZGXE)
Because you can triple your Zone Standard score by flying through bullets. Honest.
-
You have a strange definition of "easy".
I don't know, I thought Orin's stage 6 spell (which is what would be encountered if continuing against Utsuho) was generally considered easy.
-
For what it's worth, as of yesterday I've cleared every game except the PC-98 games, the fighting games and PoFV on normal. -shrug-
I might move on to Hard... eventually :V
-

Oh, that.
FWIW, back in the day I had trouble with that, largely because my computer lagged during that spell.

Not too bad, Nolegs the Cat! One has to start somewhere, indeed, whether easy or normal! Many of the best, for example, had to start up small, and their many great achievements they have done were not some overnight thing, it was the result of months, perhaps even years, of hard work, play, and practice. They may have even played games similar to Touhou, more-or-less, at least, in the context of the shmup format.
Don't mean to nitpick, but I couldn't help but say this, and I apologise in advance of this... Not going to consider doing Great Fairy Wars? I see that you haven't submitted anything for Great Fairy Wars, so I felt I had to ask this. Also, you could give the "Mystic" (Extra) stage bosses a try, if you haven't considered this already, which I'm certain you have. Playing for score is also a possible consideration, as well. It could also help you prepare for the harder difficulties.
Also, some "Heroic" (Hard) mode games I could consider off the bat, based off of my own experience, are Perfect Cherry Blossom, Phantasmagoria of Flower View (If you ever get to do that), and Ten Desires.

PCB Lunatic 1CC (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAGWabUGoNk)
Finally got this after many raging runs ending at Yuyuko (2 of them ending on her last spellcard). Now to get around to doing Phantasm. Also kinda funny how my first 1CC on Normal was with Sakuya, on Hard with Reimu and on Lunatic with Marisa.
-
I unlocked GFW Extra! Through easy mode, but still. I've made it up to Marisa's 3rd spell so far; that stage is just ludicrous after the midbosses.
-
I beat PCB extra!
Also, managed to get to the middle of 50% reflowering on PCB hard with max starting lives, then game-overed.... :colonveeplusalpha:
EDIT: TD Hard clear! :getdown:
EDIT: IN Hard clear!
-
Congrats on all your clears guys!
Timed out Sukuna's 2nd nonspell on lunatic using Chirpy's nonspell patch. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCpkVDnveVs&feature=youtu.be&hd=1) (Thanks btw!)
This took quite a bit of practice due to my relative lack of skill, but I finally got it!
Very fun attack and a good way to test your reading/dodging skills, I highly recommend it.
-
I also beat TD Extra right after I posted my last comment!
-
Full clear of ISC! That game's been quite a help to me in more ways than one... I might go on about it in the blogging thread, but typing is so difficult.
spoiler alert I'm just lazy
It was a lot of fun while it lasted, and at a certain point I'll get on to doing the other half of the game no-items, but when I look at the difficulty of some stuff ('Fitful Nightmare', '20XX: An Afterlife Odyssey', that Yatsuhashi bullshit streaming card) I kinda think doing some of them are ever-so-slightly luckshit for my personal skill level. I'll just get back to practicing lunatics for brute-forcing extra skill onto myself.

1cc'd all 6 shot types in DDC on Normal. First game I've completed all the shot types on normal. Yay.
-
Aaaaanndd... I captured 4-6 with Serela's method (thanks Serela :))! Though I have more tips to add. I can perfectly capture it by shooting right in front of Yuyuko, all I need to do is to make sure I can get inside the wave of cherry blossom petals while slowly moving backwards and trying to dodge falling cherry blossoms. This's still a bit luck-based since sometimes a cherry blossom might fall right in front of you. The most annoying part is how fast the wave respawns that my reaction time isn't fast enough to do two things at the same time (getting inside + dodging).
-
EoSD Lunatic 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33651) Just recently started playing this game again for the first time in over a year. It's been awhile. I remember struggling to clear Normal and beat Flandre back then.
Almost captured the green books but died at the last second. Would have been cool to capture the books on my first 1cc but oh well. Will probably be going for IN and MoF next.

Sorry to break your spirit, but any "assisted" 1cc won't count as legit. I haven't seen your replay yet, but which mode is it? If it's Normal, I must clap my hands for your very first Normal 1cc as UFO is one of the hardest 2hu game yet.

Their replay is a Normal clear. UFO normal so far (after almost a year of playing) was one of the most frustrating ones I've gotten. At least SA is fun to play.
I've never used an auto bomb thingy, but I learned that you need to BOMB when you FEEL like you're in trouble. I mean, seriously, hit that damn X key (or whatever its mapped to).
Also RANdumb CAPS for empHASis is aWESome.
Also, the replay desyncs for me. If that means anything.
-
The autobomb patch just means he doesn't need to bomb-getting hit will automatically deathbomb, if there's one available for use. It's what I would consider proof that he CAN clear, but not a clear.
-
He hasn't updated his sign/personal text so he probably didn't count as legit 1cc.
Also, the replay desyncs for me. If that means anything.
It's because the autobomb patches just NOPs the keyboard check during the 8 frames deathbomb window, which forces the game to autobomb. Since the autobomb wasn't done by an actual input, the replay doesn't send a bomb input there and it desyncs if you're not running the patched version (or using the cheat code on CE, etc).

Hey everyone, what's up? So, yeah, not long ago, after sitting down for an hour or so with Great Fairy Wars, I've gotten my 1st "Heroic" (Hard) Mode Route A1 1cc of the game! This comes the day after I got all six routes beaten for normal mode, unlocking the "Mystic" (Extra) stage for me, so this was pretty cool!
Heroic deed done for route A1! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33709)

To think I actually still cleared it, despite some pretty glaring mistakes in this run that shouldn't have happened... Heh. Hmm, at this rate, I should really go take on the "Mystic" (Extra) stage of this one, and perhaps clear a couple more routes on "Heroic" mode, and start to aim for the "Legendary" (Lunatic) Mode 1cc. Anyhow, yeah, this was great! =D

A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN?!?!
-
Mystical Power Plant Extra "Cleared", because it is impossible to run the game with more than 40FPS on that Ex-Boss, so it was pretty easy. Maybe the programmer missed the number of zeros while creating the bullets or this game wasn't made for the computers of this generation.

Why so many bullets?!

PCB Normal Stage 5 NM1B on a whim. It's something small that I'm still quite proud of :) When I look back, it turns out that I become too good in Normal that the fact I still don't have the motivation to 1cc SA Normal is so embarassing :ohdear:
-
DDC Extra clear. I got myself clipped once during stage run with bombs in stock and did bad during the last moments, but overall it's still a good run that I can be proud of :)

Phantasmagoria Trues Advanced Unseen 1cc ~ RATE x8.31 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEZbScpCyo4)
I was really hoping to get this before Riverbed Soul Saver came out.

For what it's worth I've NMNB'd IN stage 5 a few times. :derp:

Normal mode? Well, it's the easiest stage 5.
-
Normal mode? Well, it's the easiest stage 5.
Hence 'For what it's worth'
Nothing wrong with normal, perfecting stages is nothing to downplay, even on normal.
Also, I'd say that MoF has the easiest Stage 5 since Tewi exists (heck, I find TD Stage 5 easier because I can do Tojiko's spell consistently).
Coming from someone such as you, that means a lot :3
As for Tewi? on normal I don't think she's terribly hard, her first attack is hard on hard but her second is still pretty easy. I don't have much trouble with her :V
I'd have to agree with most of that otherwise, except the fact I can't do Tojiko's spell at all :V
But one bomb is all it takes.
I've perfected Futo too, if it wasn't for her midboss spell I'd be able to perfect TD stage 5 as well.

I 1cc'd Mystic Square! I'm especially proud since I entered stage 6 with 2 lives and managed to lose them both on the same attack. I did capture Devil's Recitation, though.
EDIT: I also just 1cc'd normal LLS on my first try. That game is way too forgiving.
-
Well with my lackluster play I've made some IN related progress...
1cc Easy Mode - 90FPS (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhml2sexeDY) (Deathless/Bombless Marisa and Kaguya was nuts for me, that's never happened for me at 60!) [2 death, 3 deathbomb]
AND
1cc Normal Mode
Going to try to go for Hard Mode 1cc soonish...
-
4000 graze with 1 power by the end of SA Stage 1 Normal =w=
Also my first scoring run in a long time, ReimuA SA Normal 499.5m (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33778) with three deaths.
-
1cc MoF Normal with ReimuC with a decent score (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33789)(?)
Captured Kanako's last card and had 4 lives left which is a personal achievement.

Double Dealing Character MarisaB Lunatic No Bombs
By far my hardest LNB to get of this game yet. I currently have 4/6 (Reimu shots, MarisaB, and SakuyaA).
Wonder if I should go for 6/6.... But then MarisaA... and SakuyaB... Blahhhh

Hey everyone, it's been a while!
Well, a month of playing Great Fairy Wars has come down to this... As of today, I've beaten Great Fairy Wars on "Legendary"(Lunatic) mode for the 1st time ever! I've been playing this for about month now, more-or-less, and now, it's come down to this very moment...
Chum, Zil, this one's for you! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33794)
Screenshot (http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o798/PurpleTheGuy/Awwyeah1st1ccofGreatFairyWarsonLegendarymode_zps863c58c4.png)
I would like to thank Chum and Zil (I know Zil's not around here anymore (I hope he comes back someday, but I wish him well)) but I still want to thank him, even if he doesn't know about it) for helping me out in me getting this 1st ever clear on Legendary (Lunatic) mode. Little did you two know, but your replays and your appearances in STG weekly for Great Fairy Wars helped me out a lot in understanding Great Fairy Wars, making me think to give this game a 2nd, and this time, honest, chance, and me ultimately starting to clear this game on lower difficulties, and so on. If it weren't for you guys, it would've taken me a while longer, and me still being rather nervous about playing this game. I would also like to give a shout out to Karisa, Shimatora, and Sapz (You three are a great inspiration for me! I don't know how good I can really get, and I don't know if I deserve the honour, but someday, I hope that I can get to actually meet you three, along with chum, zil, Sakurei, Naut,, Minogame, Denpa, Cactu, Nereid, Erppo, Jaimers, and the guy whose name starts with a Z that I probably shouldn't around here, so let's leave it at that, and others out there (Sorry, if I didn't mention your names, there's a lot) and hopefully, I'll have improved a lot by then, to where I can see you all eye to eye, to where I can return the courtesy back. Until then, I'm going to keep it up, and do my very best, in the Touhou STG and other STGs!) for maintaining the Hi-scores section here on HME! You guys are great! :)
Several months ago, and even earlier, this game used to beat the crap out of me so bad, that there was a point, where I kind of avoided playing this game for a while. After improving my skills a bit (Beating Subterranean Animism on normal mode helped a lot, as well as beating a few other Touhou games on Heroic (Hard) mode, and watching that episode about Great Fairy Wars on STG weekly eased me a lot, to where I started to play this game rather extensively, and well...It all led to this great moment.
This makes Great Fairy Wars the 2nd Touhou game I've beaten on Legendary (Lunatic) mode! I beat it on route C-2, apparently the easiest route of them all for that particular mode. I guess it can only get better from here. Now, I just need to beat Marisa, and it's going to get really good! :) It's not completely over yet for me with this game, but this is a huge milestone for me! :D As to where I'm going to go from here, well, let's just see (Well, I'm also working on Shoot the Bullet (8 scenes left), as well as Perfect Cherry Blossom and Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, and there's also Mamoru-kun wa Norowarete Shimatta! (It's some other game I play for the PS3), so those ones are immediately near my proximity). That, and I can actually make my sig, as well.
-
I beat Impossible Spell Card! 10-6 was a real pain and it took me over a hundred tries but I finally beat it!
-
Got two achievements recently.
I managed to capture Keines Last Word in IN. I finally managed it as I would either misjudge the lasers hitbox or I would run into one of the butterflies.
I played TD for fun recently and I managed to make it to the Stage 5 Midboss before I got a Gameover(Mainly because I died 3 times to Seigas last spell because of Curvey Lasers :colonveeplusalpha:). Before that run, I never made it past Yoshikas second to last spell.
-
Random LNMNB Ichirin on Boss Rush UFO (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=33883). Haven't played Touhou for months lel.
-
... This is unexpected.
I made it to the Final Boss in MoF for the first time today. It was tough because I had to get past Stage 4 which always made me gameover. I then had to learn Sanaes nonspells and spells on my first run through Stage 5 so that I wouldn't gameover to her.
I then did decent on Kanoko despite going into her having 1 live and 2 bombs. I then got a gameover to her 3rd spell(The one that has the fast, aimed knives).
If I practice, I could have a MoF 1cc relatively soon.
I also remembered to save my replay this time :D.
-
My first ever supergraze (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33900)
Don't mind that I'm practicing a boss I won't face for now, she has a lot of actually hard stuff, so extra training will be very useful. Doing this thing, for example, still makes my heart race like mad, even after a few days of short practice sessions.

HOLY CRAP I FINISHED ISC

The pain is over.

Just managed an NMNB IN Stage 4A. I don't consider it legitimate though because I got ridiculously lucky on a ridiculous number of occasions. There were 5-6 times when bullets were basically on top of me but didn't actually hit me. As a result, I don't think it was a good run so I'm going to go for another NMNB run, even though Blink and a few other attacks are evil, but considering I got lucky on 5 of Reimu's spellcards it's the right thing to do : >
-

Uhh, not really. ISC is significantly easier than photography games due to its "cheating" nature. Good luck clearing Kinkaku-ji and most StB spell cards.
-
So I finally got a 2MNBNBB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33908) run of PCB Lunatic.
Died to alice's mid boss card and to stage 6 spam.
I seem to be getting a lot better at youmu, but now i just die to chen's last card or alice's mid boss card instead >.>

Those were the same two mistakes denpa made in his 2MNBNBB. Good job!
-
After another small Touhou break, I played StB a little and surprise, I just cleared all Level 5 scenes and scene 8-6 :D That makes 55 cleared scenes in total, means 11 more left to unlock EX. That's still a long and thorny path I guess...

Managed to get IN's night bonus for the first time in a full run, on hard no less. I could've got it earlier if I really wanted to... but I don't care :V
But it happened, so I decided I might as well post it here.
Only happened because I managed to capture Morning Star.

MPP Normal 1cc on my third attempt. I also got this wierd glitch where the last spell didn't load. After the final regular attack, a second item bonus dropped, the music changed, and nothing happened. I thought the game'd crashed, but I just had to time it out and got the win.
Also got to Riko's 7th or 8th attack on my first Extra attempt (I game-overed on the non after the hell-sword attack). Also sight-capped the first 3.
-
ddc ellen bee (http://www.twitch.tv/denpa2hu/c/4618388)
such a weird run
2 lives out of stage 3
NMNB benben, seija, sukuna, cleared with 4 lives.

Somehow I just cannot function properly on any game from MoF onwards. So after failing a lot on MoF just trying to play on a difficulty other than Easy, I went back on IN, polished my spellcards and had a random shot at Extra. No expectations or anything.
So everything was going fine, a few blips here and there. Then I completely stuff up Woo, get hit halfway through Fujiwara Volcano, bludge through Possessed by Phoenix, and get to Hourai Doll 1/4. Let's just say that there will never be a less graceful attempt at Hourai Doll. :V
But I just beat my first extra stage! WHOOOOPEEEEEEE and other assorted cheering noises
This actually makes me as happy as the first time I 1cc'd EoSD. And I uploaded it and annotated it, because I've always wanted to annotate something.
Thanks to everyone who uploads their runs, by the way! I love seeing other people play and stealing a few tips.

Decided to try to go and try EOSD extra on a whim. Got to 30% HP QED (while having 0 lives/bombs on the start of her survival) on the first attempt that satisfied me, finished maybe 25 minutes later (while having 1 life/3 bombs lives at QED start, finished with 3 bombs). So, yeah, while not that hard, she's a fun boss and it's still an achievement :toot:
-
Only took me 4 years to finish. Pretty fast I'd say... (http://i.imgur.com/P1MEzTb.png)
-
4 years
O.O
Wow. I'll never get there (if I only keep playing in Normal and Easy)
-
Pretty fast I'd say
When I lost my score.dat I went through and re-did everything with both Aya and Hatate and that only took me 6 hours...kinda slow given the IL table :V
-
Cleared MarisaA/MarisaB in UFO, all shots 1cc.
Got another UFO ellen bee this time with ReimuA (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33945). Didn't really give a fuck on early stage deaths and cleared.
-
Almost beat Shikieiki in PoFV Lunatic with Marisa, but on the bright side, I lasted long enough without taking damage that I got the Bonus!! counter. :)

Hell froze over. Eight times. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33963)

Perfect IN Stage 4A run with Scarlet team. (http://youtu.be/2Ix2X0XJRPU) This is actually the third one. First two were too messy (and I forgot to save a replay of the second one). Reimu is more fun that I thought and -Blink- isn't as rage inducing as it was originally.
EDIT: L2MNB IN 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33967) Died to Marisa's 3rd non and "Brilliant Dragon Bullet". Not going to upload it because I've uploaded enough LNBs to my youtube. I'll upload a L1MNB and the LNN when if I get them. The deaths were pretty dumb but oh well. I'm expecting lots of 1MNB runs eventually, because Rising World exists. Still, getting ever closer to the LNN 1cc. Almost got hit on Wriggle's last spell though; had it lasted a couple of frames longer it would have hit me, I'd have then restarted and this run would never have happened (probably).
-
Sugoi, expecting LNN from you~

Doing more Touhou 11 shenanigans. Stage 4 1MNB, only failing to Spring Kyoto Dolls.

Not really, it actually comes from Suika's last spell from IaMP. Even more obvious when you look at the spell card's name...
