New thread before the (manual) lock takes effect.
DONUT, CLOSE THE THREAD ALREADY.
Quoting.
And since I have nothing but UFO lunatic left to do, and I'm going to contain this in a thread all its own, let me say in advance:
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Excuse me while I go cry in a corner.

I haven't been able to play at all for a week =(
RAGE

I have received some wonderful advice for beating Nue.
MAYBE IF I EVER GET PAST THE STAGE PORTION AGAIN, I'LL PUT IT INTO PRACTICE.
-
Be of Good Cheer!
I CAN'T BE OF GOOD CHEER
THE STAGE SUCKS
THE MIDBOSS SUCKS
THE NONSPELLS SUCK
THE SPELLS SUCK
how the hell can I capture anything
even when I dodge like 20 ghost wheels without bombing, it's still closer to a timeout than to a capture since I have only 2 power for the entire goddamn fight
-
I HATE UFO STAGE 1 SO MUCH
It's so annoying having to restart stage 1 each time because I fail at Nazrin's last card or because I missed an UFO .

It burned itself into my brain... It's such a relief to reach the second stage.

In my (first try) 1cc of UFO hard I bombed both Nazrin's spell cards. You can get away with it. Hell, if I restarted every time I didn't perfect Yamame I would have never 1cc'd SA lunatic (or reached stage 2 for that matter).
-
Well I just did the best run of UFO stage portion I've ever done, I got to Nue 4/0 and then I proceed to fail every. single. one. of her cards. I'm usually able to perfect her through danmaku chimera. >=| God dammit.

For me, Nue usually goes in one of these 2 ways:
1) Reach her with 1 life, capture almost everything and eventually screw up anyways
2) Reach her with many lives and screw up everything

In SA I don't care about bombing in stage 1 since I simply can get back to 4power on stage 2 . But , dunno , I don't really like wasting a bomb on stage 1 in UFO , since it's not really hard to do a perfect run on it ( even though Nazrin's last card is annoying ).
-
I finally know how to read all of Shou's attacks except for Vajra. Now I can't get past Ichirin. WTFFFF!!@!@!@!!@
The worst part is that I know I'll forget how to read Shou's attacks when I get there again. BLARGHDFLSJFSDFSD
-
I can't seem to beat PoFV extra. I've gotten to Shikieiki with 3 lives twice tonight, and both times got smashed.
Not being able to dodge bullets for 45 seconds sucks.

My problem is that I have a uniform UFO strategy for the first three stages, so to have only one UFO at the end of Stage 1 is irksome. Playing on Hard forces it, so that bugs me too.
-
I UPGRADED MY RAM FROM 512MB TO 1.25G. I think to myself: "I better be able to play UFO and SA with no frame skip rate at 60 fps with this." I install my ram and everything, noticeable jump in performance is seen when surfing the web and all, but when I try to play UFO with no frame skip rate- I GET FUCKING 50FPS! JUST LIKE BEFORE I GOT MORE RAM. WHAT THE FUCK?
-
I run SA at 60fps with no frame skip on my 256mbyte machine.
It must be your processor or graphics card.
-
Release of the Id.
Also, Shikieiki just got a perfect on me in lunatic match play.
I was using Aya.
-
Koishi just telefragged me at literally 0.01 seconds of Philosophy of a Hated Person.
Would have had a high score if that hadn't happened.
-
SA Normal bawwing ahead.
Using Marisa C I have a pretty awesome run through the first four stages with only one life lost to Yuugi. Satori takes a life, and then Orin rapes me.
I beat Orin with 4 lives, but then I have a death to the spirits.
So I manage to no-death Utsuho all the way up to Heaven and Hell or whatever, with 4/5 life pieces. "If I can not die here, I'll have one more life..."
Right as I hear the near-death popping, I get hit.
3 lives, final spellcard can't be that painful. I've beaten it quite a lot with Reimu C.
CLIP. CLIP. CLIP. CLIP. RAGEQUIT.
-
Why is Reimu so slow in EoSD? She's like unplayable for me because she moves too slow. It takes like 10 seconds for her to move across the screen horizontally. I also found that slower movement != better dodging.
And Marionette is still a super, super gay card. If I don't bomb it, I get screwed :(
AND WTF I ALMOST CAPTURED RED MAGIC BUT IT WAS JUST LIKE 1 CM LEFT OF HER HEALTH BAR FJSDHBS:FDS.
Edit: OMG I ALMOST 1CCED THE DAMN THING BUT DIED AT SCARLET SHOOT WITH 3 BOMBS :(
I did capture Red Magic though. Yay!
-
OH HA HA HA LLS YOU SILLY SILLY GAME WHY THE GODDAMN HELL WILL YOU NOT LET ME FREAKIN' BOMB GODDAMNIT GODDAMNIT GODDAMNIT ALL

I run SA at 60fps with no frame skip on my 256mbyte machine.

I've got a 3 ghz Intel Pentium 4-not overclocked. For graphics card, I have no idea but I didn't upgrade anything from the original Dimension 3000 computer besides the ram.
-
OH GOD WHY
I enter SA normal's stage 6 after an absolutely horrible Orin fight. 3 Lives remaining, and nothing particularly bad happens during the stage.
In comes Okuu. Her opener wasn't a problem, bombed her first spellcard due to being walled. Also bomb her 2nd non-spell after getting WAY too close to 2 streams of bullets. Bombed Mega Flare and had no problems on the 3rd non-spell. Then I capture Fixed Star, (No idea why I attempted to capture this one. The 2 previous attempts before had me dying 1 or 2 times.) and I get close to dying a few times on her 4th non-spell, but make it through unscathed.
Hell and Heaven Meltdown starts. I bomb and die 3 times during this and get left with 2 lives as Hell's Artificial Sun begins. I die, bomb once just after that, and get walled by a wave of snowballs that I thought would get canceled out by the bomb.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

GOD DAMN IT
LET ME BOMB
LOTUS LAND STORY
WHAT THE HELL
Oh well. Perfect Stage 5 until the bomb and death at the circles (seriously, what the HELL is up with those?), which meant I went into Yuka 0/2. Still got her below half health.
-
Not bad considering I haven't played lunatic in forever, but argh I lost HRtP lunatic Makai route. I did some nasty screwups even in stage freaking 1, but still somehow reached level 16 before kicking the bucket. Then Sariel went awesome.jpg (if someone replaces Sariel's face with awesome.jpg I will love them) and took away 2 continues before I got it right. I swear I learned the super sexy method to trivialize this fight outside of her first phase, but I clearly don't remember it quite as well as I used to. I beat this with over a life to spare that one time...
And for kicks I decided to try and see if I could wait out Sariel's second phase to hear all of LET'S ALL DIE TOGETHER...Sariel died within 40 seconds with me trying to keep her alive. -_- (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main.WastedSong)

Attempt to salvage a garbage run (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5037).
-
Just how nasty is LLS's rank system anyway? I swear Elly is harder than Marisa and stage 5 Yuka combined. Even if I still can't get past stage 5 Yuka, but then again, I'm always entering stage 4 running on fumes.
Also, what is the point of ReimuB when ReimuA does a better job during both stages and bosses? And why is boss Reimu so much nastier than boss Marisa? And yeah, what the hell is up with those circles?

Elly is much, much more difficult than Marisa and Stage 5 Yuka. For me, anyway.
On the subject of LLS, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ORANGE STOP MOVING MORE THAN HALFWAY DOWN THE SCREEN AND DROPPING THAT OVERLAPPING WAVE ATTACK AND SAME GOES FOR YOU ELLY AND YOU MARISA SERIOUSLY GUYS WHAT THE CRAP

...god DAMN it.
At least I didn't die with bombs in stock, even if I panicbombed WAY too much.

Fuck so close. Red Magic had a sliver left... and I died. Sigh. I should have known. So close to a 1cc and yet so far away :(

Let that sink in for a moment.
-
Murasa's spellcards are pretty ridiculous until you figure them out. Then they aren't as bad.
Her second to last spell card with all the anchors is often an auto-bomb for me. :/
-
It's not that bad if Murasa stays close to the top of the screen though .

I can get to the 30 second mark (When Mokou spawns like 5 concentric rings).

jesus fucking christ
first Koishi doesn't like the fact that I'm going to capture Danmaku Paranoia, so she pushes me all the way to the side where I clip something trying to turn around
then I clip Subterranean Rose 3 times with full bombs
-

That's probably the hardest part; if you can manage that you're basically through (provided the green waves don't panic you). You want to be at the left hand side of the screen for the first set and the right hand side for the second set so that you're in a position to get through them by moving upwards. Don't get twitchy and try to fly through those gaps really fast; take your time and be accurate. Even when the circles start closing, you have enough time to make it through, the bullet hitboxes are smaller than they look. :V
-
... did you clip death every single attack?
-
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF KOISHI WHAT THE FUCK

Eh, I did the second 5-ring set by entering sideways from the left. Probably not the best idea now that you said you can enter by moving upwards from the right but for some reason I never feel comfortable in the bottom right corner (go figure).
Then again it "only" took me 59 tries so I'm not really complaining.

I would like to stab Patchouli in the face.
AND I'D FINALLY GOTTEN A NOT-SHITTY RUN OF STAGE 4, TOO.
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

Fuck you Mystic Square now I know where Moedan got that goddamned curving lasers card that gave me way more trouble than it should have. At least theirs only turned and homed once. And I may not be able to read Shou's curving lasers either but at least hers are skinny and don't chase after me. >=|
-
Fuckin' nigh-invisible PC-98 small white bullets against psychedelic backgrounds. So many random deaths. So many.
-
Fucking Koishi.
I'm trying to get a better score than my current one(544m) and almost improved it a bit.....got 6k graze, decided to use my remaining bombs on Subterranean Rose to milk it for more graze.....and just as it ends, I die on the last second.
524m. I want to reach atleast 600.
-
SERIOUSLY LLS STAGE 2 STOP KILLING ME WITH BULLETS I CAN'T EVEN SEE I JUST RESTARTED 10 TIMES AND GOT NOWHERE GODDAMNIT STOP
-
Fecking Counter Clock hates me.
-
WTF WTF WTF WTF??!! WTF HAPPENED? Perfect stages 1-4 save for a death at Mystical Wind Typhoon, BUT
WHY THE HELL CAN'T I DO HER MIDBOSS NON SPELL WITHOUT DYING NOW???
Seriously it's the easiest shit in the world. You stand above her and sit there. Now I lose 2 lives on it??? WAT?
And then I got Remilia. The fuck? Did I just die TWICE ON HER STRAIGHT KNIVES? *RAGE*
-
Koishi again.
Except for one stage death, no deaths until her survival, even timed out Genetics without dying/bombing......then suddenly 2 deaths on Philosophy(both extremely stupid) and one on Subterranean Rose..... I forgot to go up to the middle during the second phase.
Naturally, I perfect the rest of the card.

Fucking Koishi.

There's no point in grazing Subterranean Rose. Grazing only increases the value of point items by 1% for each 100 graze, and there aren't any after Philosophy. On the other hand, you're going to get 40 million points for each life left and 8 million for each bomb (or 2 bombs for Marisa A) left at the end, plus ~8 million for capturing Subterranean Rose.
-
DAMN IT
LLS Lunatic, game overed in the SAME PLACE (yeah, the whole 99.83% complete), 11 deaths again...but only 26 bombs.
5 bombs.
It really doesn't help when Yuka moves TWO-THIRDS OF THE WAY DOWN THE SCREEN BEFORE DROPPING THAT ONE CLOUD OF RED AND BLUE BULLETS WITH NO ROOM TO DODGE. Or when Marisa does pretty much the same thing. Or Elly. Or Orange.
......RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH
-
Damn it, I am absolutely useless against Yumemi. I tried PoDD Normal, no deaths until Stage 9, everything was pretty easy. I then die four times in a row to Yumemi. :V I never have any room to move away from the homing crosses because I get clusterfucked by everything else at the same time.
-
Why is Elly so harder than Marisa and Yuka and why is Keine so harder than Reimu and Reisen whyyyyyyy
Also, inability to figure out how to do IN's stage 3 with Scarlet Team/solo Remilia. I mean, what the hell. Stuff comes from pretty much everywhere so you can't just park Remilia's familiars somewhere for more than three seconds without it backfiring, and Sakuya's "spread" shot is a joke, I mean, Reimu's needles anywhere else in the series have a wider shot, besides, y'know, KILLING stuff for a difference.

Then I randomly captured it one day in an otherwise horrible Extra run.

So, I tried to do MS Extra. Managed to reach the part where Alice fires purple bullets... And lasers... My reaction: AAAAAHHH!!!! *bombspam* *death*
On a side note, it's amazing how MS manages to make streaming become nightmarish O_o Specifically, in the Yumeko and EX Alice fights...

You can remove the desync when you replay it from stage 5 without any fastforward :V

You can fix it by starting at stage 5 and fast-forwarding it to Okuu.

Come on, roommates. We all go out and have fun for a bit, but when we get home, you turn on your Family Guy and DBZ Abridged and keep the volume up so loud. I'm just trying to 1cc UFO Easy so I can justify reaching Murasa's final attack on Normal, but your volume makes me lose lives on Ichirin's nonspells and I Game Over on Stage 5.
Why you guys gotta be that way?
-
roommates
ITT Jan-san learns why many college students lose their faith in humanity.
-
D:
Quick, while one is gone and the other is in the shower! Time to fail at UFO Easy because I've played it so many times today!
Edit: Game Over'd just past Stage 5 Nazrin due to losing lives on EASY KOGASA (Roommate dropping things in the shower) and my other roommate coming in and talking to me about the Microwave during Stage 4.
-
First serious IN lunatic try with Border Team, game over at Hourai Jewel (entered with only one bomb in stock). Reason for RAGE? Earlier in the run I died to one of Keine's nonspells with three bombs in stock - after having already died once to it. With goddamn Border Team. That makes it two lunatic 1cc attempts in three days that I really, really should've pulled off, after choking horribly against VoWG two days ago.
edit: oh, and somehow I also managed to not get to 1100 item points. I mean, really, what the hell.
-
Hey Jan, try getting some sound canceling headphones or something like that, it won't completely mute the TV or anything, but it will make it slightly more tolerable.

I used to have an expensive pair, but my brother broke them years ago. I really liked them too... Whenever i get a job, though, I'll definitely look for a quality pair.
Nice to see you Kanako~

I do NOT accept what just happened. After doing MUCH better at HRtP lunatic (even though I lost 6 lives against Yuugen Magan. :'V), I entered Sariel with max lives. She got me down to no lives pretty quick thanks to her NOT FREAKING CHANGING PHASES ON THE ONE IT'S HARDEST TO HIT HER ON), but I bomb spammed to her easy last phase. This is easy, right? For safety though, I decided to use my two remaining bombs if anything came up. Something came up, so a second in advance, I do the cute little button combination to bomb...
IT DIDN'T REGISTER. I DIED. EVEN THOUGH I HAD ENOUGH BOMBS TO SPAM HER TO DEATH. If there is one problem with this game, it's the bombing. Couldn't ZUN have picked a button input that didn't have a chance of not registering or better yet find a convenient button to just map it to in the first place?! I mean shit, the ONLY reason I failed my second Makai route lunatic 1cc is because I pressed them wrong!
-

I decided last night to make it my goal to win at least one round against the lunatic match play AI as Mystia.
You can probably guess why I'm posting here.
-
THERE! KONNGARA KNOWS WHAT'S UP! SHE LETS ME 1CC LUNATIC WITHOUT MUCH EFFORT! WHY DOES SARIEL HAVE TO BE SUCH A PARTY-CRASHER UH?
THIS SHOULD GO UNDER ACCOMPLISHMENTS BUT RAAAAAARGH.

EoSD Extra : Trying to do the stage without shooting or bombing, or at least finding out if it's even possible (I'm afraid of those streaming fairies at the end). The first part is not too hard, I'm currently 2/2 on timing out Silent Selene, but I'm absolutely pathetic at Royal Flare. 1 death on the part I micromemorized, then 2 deaths because I suck at reading patterns. At least I found out the way I positioned myself in the second wave is the perfect place to get walled, so I might do better next time.
I'm tired for now though, so that'll have to wait. I mean, I phased out like 5 times during Silent Selene.
-
Another lunatic IN run - didn't die with bombs in stock, got the 1100 point items 1up.... and arrived at Hourai Jewel with only 2 bombs because in fear of messing up again, I bombed a bit too liberally, including when about to capture some cards. Also epic fail against Salamander Shield forcing me to deathbomb and bam there go two bombs I should really have kept.
Anyway, and here I was thinking Border Team wasn't that hot above normal difficulty. :V
-
Died on Utsuho's last spellcard with a no focus/formation shift ok Marisa B run.
I might as well be playing Normal with the no visible hitbox patch, dammit.
-
I just game over'd at 'Hell's Artificial Sun' again...
Why...? Why... why..
-
Third IN lunatic attempt in a row. 19 cards captured, but dying twice with bombs in stock during stage 4 - for a total of 4 bombs wasted - once by ramming a single, slow-moving bullet sideways with pretty much nothing else on the screen - and then dying for a third time by ramming another bullet sideways while trying to get one of the bombs dropped by the fairies just before Marisa when there was pretty much zero chance of doing so because I was really screwing up that stage 4 - meant I again entered Hourai Jewel with a single bomb. Got it down to about a quarter health but it's just too easy to end up trapped while trying to switch directions.

...Shouldn't this go in the "Embarassing Moments" thread? Heck, even I can do EoSD stage 1 on Lunatic easily the vast majority of the time if I don't go too far on grazing for no reason <.<; Even then I usually succeed... Though Demarcation on Lunatic is actually rather annoying :V

Depends. If your goal is "don't die or bomb on stage 1", things change. You pretty much have to weave back and forth unfocused to get those power items if you want to be 60~ by boss Rumia.

Shikieki on Normal... WHAT THE HELL?!!! I can't beat her even if I get there with three lives >.< What the hell what the hellwhatthehellwhatthehellwhat...the...hell...? *sob*
Her special bullet things... ah... whatever they are; they actually have very small hitboxes. The red lines on the sides and a good bit of the front (probably the back too) have no hitbox on them.
Its very annoying to dodge them still, because its hard to gauge where the hitbox is when they move fast and in huge amounts.
-
Shikieki on Normal... WHAT THE HELL?!!! I can't beat her even if I get there with three lives >.< What the hell what the hellwhatthehellwhatthehellwhat...the...hell...? *sob*
Tip: move fast, and move a lot: macrododge everything you can by changing sides often. And if changing sides turns out to be impossible, dodge upwards near the corner until about midscreen until the shitstorm calms down - it's safer than taking your chances at the bottom.
Also, what character are you using? There are a lot of factors which can make Shikieiki's difficulty vary wildly depending on your character - mostly your special's bullet speed (for story mode, the slower the better - when they get reflected at you they're also slower), a decent scope (quick and practical), and preferrably a quick charge.
-
The character I'm using? I've been trying with Komachi and Marisa, but I think I'm gonna try with Youmu now...

I'm doing great in SA with Marisa A. No deaths, beaten Satori, max life counter.
ORIN BRINGS ME DOWN TO THREE. WTF?

Erm...WTF? I think my score.dat for MoF is corrupted somehow. o_o I open the game up and there's this black box obscuring part of the lower half of the screen. I exit the game and try again, the box is gone, but now I realize extra is locked, my player data screen is a bunch of gibberish (a bunch of "HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" specifically), and the music in the music room is locked saying that they have never played before in-game and do I really wish to see the comments? The weirdest part? It's not a score.dat reset because all the stages that were open in spell practice before are still open, and when I reach a spell card the history shows up same as always. So I don't know what the hell. Someone with Reimu B unlocked in lunatic mind sharing their score.dat so I can spare myself the effort of unlocking all this stuff again?
And more on topic for the reason I played MoF in the first place, SOMETHING always spoils a perfect Sanae run. That something is very often Takaminakata Invocation when it's not something else before it. It ALWAYS ends up walling me.

Now on topic:
STUPID CUNT MURASA'S FUCKING PHANTOM BULLSHIT HARBOR CLIPPED ME 3 FUCKING TIMES.
If ZUN had designed the Power system better, clip deaths would be less bullshit. Right now in UFO, they are the biggest kick in the balls.
-
Here's what happens EVERY time I go against Utsuho:
Opener: No problem here. I just graze the waves.
Nuclear Fusion: Misdirect the first wave of sun bullets, clipdeath on blue bullets x2, get tired of dying and bomb. I usually get left with 2 lives at this point.
2nd non-card: Bomb it and get life fragment.
Mega Flare: Attempt to capture, panicbomb.
3rd non-card: No problem on this one either.
Fixed Star: For some reason, I try and capture this one. There's a 40% chance that I'll die, but I try and capture it anyways.
4th non-card: No problems.
Hell and Heaven Meltdown: This is one of the few cards that I actually bomb when I feel like I'm in danger. And I bomb a lot.
Hell's Artificial Sun: Start this with 1-2 lives, bomb excessively, clip white bullet just as I'm about to bomb.
GAME OVER
I need help. ;_;

I don't know how it works on Normal or higher, but on Easy, I mostly just judge where the "gravity" will take me through a wave of white bullets and stay still there. Not sure if that helps, but...
-
Okku is being mean to me
I need help. ;_;
For the first card worry about the small bullets and just don't get hit right in the face by
GIANT FACE-MELTING BULLETS
which you can see from a mile away. It'll take forever but that's ZUN going "oh MAN I just had the GREATEST IDEA EVER for a final boss' opening spellcard, so I'll make it last TWICE AS LONGER as everything else." Can't blame him, though. For the second card treat everything as small bullets and just watch as the suns dodge you. (italics for dramatic effect)
Subterranean Sun is just bullshit fake difficulty though despite what the highest-level players claim. Apparently it's easy when you're a ninja pirate robot but some people fail to realize that at least 99,81% of the population are NOT ninja pirate robots.
-
I don't know how it works on Normal or higher, but on Easy, I mostly just judge where the "gravity" will take me through a wave of white bullets and stay still there. Not sure if that helps, but...
I tried that but all it seems to do is make it worse. There's barely any room between the red bullets even at the bottom. So if I let the suction pull me at all, It'll be too hard to navigate the red bullets, let alone the white ones.
The real problem is Nuclear Fusion, though. I usually end up losing half my lives on that and Heaven and Hell Meltdown. I tell myself to bomb it, but I always ignore myself and end up clipping one of the blue bullets.
-

Dodge Red bullets --> White bullets approaching --> Look for a gap (preferably a rather larger ones so you don't risk clip death, even if it means going as far as ~50 pixel or something) --> Position yourself in front of the gap --> **Stop moving** (You get sucked as fast as the red bullets do, they won't hurt you at all :) ) --> White pellet wave passes by --> Back down (don't crash back into the wave you just passed XD) --> repeat
Also, when you clear the card, if you see yourself helplessly getting sucked towards a white pellets wave, REMEMBER TO UNFOCUS.
It's really not that difficult compared to what other final bosses's last spellcards throw at you.
(Too gimmicky for a last spell maybe? Since it's gimmick/trick based, once you "see how it works", you start dying much less often, then you gain confidence, and then less clipdeath. :) )
-
I find Utsuho's first 2 cards a bit too hard....never captured them on anything higher than Easy. :V
EDIT: Virtue of Wind GODDAMNIT
like 50th clear with 1 stupid death
somebody post:kanakodwi:
-
I only capped Sub Sun once, but whenever I tango with it, I let the gravity take me through the gaps and worry about it as I come down. As long as you are in the middle, you can read bullets from both directions.
Oh, and fuck Nuclear Fusion, if I see a clip coming, I will panic bomb. If I actually clipped, I'll bomb immediately after. Especially with ReimuB, I'll just run up to Utsuho before the invisibility expires and bomb the blue waves.

Goddamnit.
I was playing MS Lunatic and had four spare lives after the Stage 5 midboss, and I hadn't even reached the 300 point life yet. Cue a death on the pre-boss spam and four deaths within the first three phases of Yumeko. <_<
-
Am I the only one who needs to warm up before I can attempt something?
When I first turn on touhou, I usually screw up the first 2 times....goes 2x for VoWG.
sweet fuck just let me capture it I've almost had it like 10 times.....
-
No, i guess you aren't. Sometimes, i just have to get back into the game before i can play at my full skill level.
My friend considers this weird but then again, there is a world of difference between Lunatic play and Easy play.

AHAHAHANO
SCREW YOU TOUHOU ZUN JAPAN SCREW YOU ALL

Marisa dropped my FPS when I thought I had the Vsync patch working... Other than those two instances I think I might have acctually 1cc'ed IN on normal... The reason its here is because it told me to beat it again for extra...
(And that slowdown...)

BLOODY CRAP
First death on LLS Lunatic on Elly. Second death on Elly, FOUR SECONDS LATER
I didn't even make it to stage 6 this time. Honestly, WHAT THE CRAP
-
Curse of Yuyuko strikes again: fourth PoFV Mystia lunatic 1cc which fails to save, making it six out of seven 1cc replays lost.
On the bright side, it was also the fourth consecutive 1cc in the five times I played Mystia's story mode on lunatic. But damn you PoFV save bug :'(

I was watching the SA Phantasm Stage on Niconico in school when some brats came by and made fun of it, telling me that I should play some "real" games like Diablo 3 and WoW (if you like it, it's fine for me) and that you can find stuff like that on Gameboy when it comes to graphics. These are the same brats who say that I'm only hearing "Mario-music" (their synonym for video games music, which is actually true, but I don't hear anything from Mario at all (anymore)) and that the music of the video sounds like shit.
I REALLY hate being the only japanophile (that means Touhou-fan in my case as well) on my school...

Bah. Failed my MS Lunatic 1cc at Devil's Recitation. As if I'd be able to beat that attack going in 0/0. Still, I'd ended up wasting quite a few bombs/lives on Stages 4 and 5... I think I've got this within a few more attempts, seeing as how hilariously easy Shinki's final phase is.

If I die on Orange one more time, I think I'm going to have to stop playing Touhou forever, before I smash my entire dorm to pieces.

I swore to myself that I wouldn't fap until I capture VoWG.

@VideoGameCrack: There are two solutions to the problem depending on the kind of persons we are talking about.
If we are talking about reasonable gamers: Tell them that a 2D shoot em' up can be equally as fun and sometimes even more fun than 3D games.
If we are talking about smartasses with no brains: Break some of their bones and tell them to respect other peoples tastes and opinions.
@Banamatic:
That's some serious tough luck. That spell can be evil at times. Today, i had to go six attempts at it before capturing it. I swear, the only reason timing that spell out is difficult at all is because of the walls it makes.
Oh and don't even consider such an inhuman oath... What would be the point of beating all Murasa's cards if you didn't go to bed to imagine her naked and tied to the very anchor that had killed you so much?
What would one tie Kanako to then? Maybe i should just stop here.
-
This isn't fun anymore.
I died on Orange. Again. Then died on Stage 1 when I restarted. Twice.
Then got through Orange only to die before midboss Kurumi.
This isn't fun. This is asinine and idiotic.
-

At least you didn't clip 3 times in a row with all your bombs on stage 4 because you wanted to graze.
WTF you bombed 11 times more than me O_o
Hey it's Lunatic for you, not the same thing, at all LLS Hard = PCB Normal

I got one that tops both of those.

Stage 6 Yuka was exploding, fffff- (I've gotten revenge on her since that, though)
And the 3 below your score are, in order; Deaths, Bombs, Completion Percentage
The others I don't remember, but there is a topic around here explaining them. Stuff like % of time focused, % of items collected, % slowdown (I think that Slowdown is last before that spaced out %age thing)
-
I did 99.99% with RAN once !
It is the most frustrating thing I my touhou experience...
Anyway, Stage 4 is bad...very very bad...
But LLS is funny, the familiars are harder to dodge than the danmaku.

Thank god if you bomb that, the 2 stage 4 midbosses are easy as hell.
But if you want to actually do it/have no bombs, use Reimu's hair bow as your hitbox. Its almost exactly the same size/spot as your hitbox in PC-98, right?

After the initial excitement of completing the UFO Easy run it boils down to nitpicking again. Damn it, why did I destroy the blue UFO in stage four so early? Why didn't I practice Hawk's techniques for that stage? Why didn't I graze out Shou's lasers? Unzan's eye, too, so much graze lost.
-
I die on Elly, die again as she clears. Getting into stage 4 4/3, personal best. This has been a great run so far.
DIE TWICE WITH TWO BOMBS IN STOCK
MARISA SITS HALFWAY DOWN THE SCREEN THE ENTIRE TIME
DIE TWICE ON STAGE 5, WAY BEFORE THE CIRCLES

Apparently my PCB folder is corrupted. Apparently so are the WAV files for PCB. Apparently so is my score data for PCB. Apparently I'm going to have to reinstall the game. Apparently I'm going to have to unlock Extra for all the characters again... Goddammit, laptop. Atleast the replays still work, I hope.
Also game over'd during Shinki's last phase. (http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h238/Andreshi/Touhou/LostToShinki.png)

If you want, I have a score.DAT that has Extra unlocked for all characters and almost every stage on all difficulties (no SakuyaB Stage 6 Lunatic, and no Marisa Lunatic at all in stage practice, though).
Also, today I tried PCB Extra after not playing it for about a month. I picked ReimuB by accident, decided "eh i'll stick with it, let's do no-focus just for fun."
I proceeded to get through the entire Extra stage without a single death, and only two bombs (one on Kokuri-san's Contract and another on one of her midspells).
Then I lost all six lives on Ran's last spellcard.
Holy shit what, I usually capture that card.
-
2 CC'd PCB Normal with Marisa A
2 CC'd EoSD Normal with Marisa A
I never finished a game with Marisa, and this was actually the first time i seriously attempted playing as her.
But it's damn frustrating to Game Over on the last spell card in two different games and have to settle for a 2CC =(
-
FFFFFFFFFFF
After most of what was my best scoring attempt at EoSD yet by quite a lot, I die to the end of Q.E.D., predictably enough. Grr... having to beat Flan on two lives is pretty harsh, especially seeing as I've convinced myself that I can capture everything consistently and as such don't bomb on any of her cards. <_< That would have been at least 350-360 million... damnit. To be honest the death at Q.E.D. was fair enough, but what annoys me more is that I also died on Catadioptric, which I can capture consistently.
...On all these runs so far it's always been Q.E.D. and one other completely random card I mess up. :V
-
PC-98 deathbombs... THEY DO NOT EXIST!!!! Instead, there are FREAKING REVIVAL BOMBS! I JUST DIED, I DON'T NEED TO BOMB AGAIN AND COLLECT EVERY POWER ITEM ON THE SCREEN SO THAT I CAN'T USE THE FULL POWER SCREEN CLEAR WHEN THERE ARE ACTUALLY BULLETS COMING AT ME!!! AAAAAGHH!!!!

Actually, PC 98 Deathbomb times are longer then the PC ones(barring INs stupidly long times). It's just that there's no death sound.

Damn you Flandre! I finally capture Cranberry trap, so I move up for Lavatein, she does he pretty little laser and then when she moves I freaking clip her and die >.< Then later on Maze of love (Maze of OMGWTFISTHIS more likely) I die twice without bombinb >:( And I still made it to counter clock, my best try ever, could've soooo finished it if I didnt fuck up on lavatein/maze!!!! >:( >:(

God I hate Catadioptric so much. TELL ME HOW YOU CAPTURE IT PLEASE SERIOUSLY. Every time I play EoSD I either die or bomb the card, I have yet to capture it. ;_;
Also who do you scorerun Flandre with?

The basic pattern to Catadioptric is three quarters of the way to the right of the screen, all the way to the right, three quarters of the way, all the way, etc, so that you avoid most of the big clusters. Other than that, the most important thing is to be looking at the huge-hitbox'd fat bullets as early as you possibly can; most of my deaths to Catadioptric are clipdeaths from a big bullet that was off to the side of the cluster. Finally, there are a load of really slow small bullets that will stay there to annoy you from previous waves, so, err, watch out for those, I guess. :V Here's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssy7aEDj05o#t=3m58s) a video of a capture; at 4:04 there's one of the nasty outlying fat bullets which will get you killed, so pay attention to those as your top priority.
And my scoreruns so far are with MarisaB; I don't really have any particular preference, but I'm participating in the tournament thingybob which forces MarisaB, so yeah. At any rate, Master Spark is very useful for collecting a load of point items you'd have no chance at otherwise, so I'd probably end up sticking with this shot type.

PoDD lunatic is evil. EEEEVIL. As in, I'm lucky if I make it past stage two and even that is requiring some supernatural spazzing.
Then again I didn't give it more than half a dozen tries, but repeatedly getting crushed so badly isn't exactly motivating.

20 attempts at EoSD Extra tonight. Out of those 20 attempts: I got to Flandre 0 times. I got to Patchy 5 times. I Game Overed to Royal Flare 3 times. I Game Overed to Selene 2 times. I died on the first part 15 times.
I'm not exactly sure why I failed so bad.

Tip: The first two parts are streaming. It should be easy to survive those if you're careful (...As in, to the point that it's tough to get power items =/ ) and then you can probably just bomb the rest of everything before Patchouli if you fail it that badly. And yeah, Riyal Flare is utter hell, while Silent Selene is pretty nasty too... Then so is Philosopher's Stone if you get to it. Overall though, it shouldn't be at all difficult to at least get past Patchouli if you actually bomb.
-
When scoring goes wrong... :V
...you can lose up to about 20% of your theoretical score within seconds.
Stupid sneezing. Stupid me forgetting when and where to bomb. Stupid me for not being practiced enough at supergrazing, etc.
However, UFO is more or less lenient on that kind of thing. But there's only a limit that I'll take before actually forfeiting.
(http://i80.servimg.com/u/f80/12/80/32/92/th/untitl36.jpg) (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=285&u=12803292)
And my Point Item Value should be somewhere in the high 50k's or 60k's...
Should probably supergraze.
-
Nue's survival card is giving me fits. It's ALL EASY until the last three seconds, when it turns into animated bullet hitbox nonsense.
4...3...2...1..death...zero.

I know it's streaming. It's just stupid, stupid clipdeaths. To the most random bullets ever. Hell, the only death that wasn't a stupid death was to the fairy right before Patchy, but that was only to figure out how to dodge it properly... :(
Silent Selene is actually fairly easy once you realize that you don't need to follow Patchy everywhere to capture it before the time out. Royal Flare is easy now that I know how to do it. Philosopher's Stone is just painful though. I think it's pretty much an autobomb for me.

I really, really want to get one good replay for youtube, and the Reimu 1cc which the PoFV bug spared simply isn't nearly good enough. Oh well, at least I like PoFV a lot.

It works like Danmaku Chimera. It made sense after watching my replay like 20 times.
There is only 1 gap per wall IIRC, so just go for example left, then up, then left, then up again :V
Probably one of the easiest survivals.

Dammit dammit dammit why am I dying to Kagome, Kagome and Starbow Break?! ;_; It's bad enough that only one in ten/twenty runs end up with enough points (or not being dead) by Flandre, without the addition of silly deaths in the easy spots like those. At this rate I'm not even going to finish any runs at all, let alone hit 400m.

You must be having a bad day if you're dying to stuff that I can consistently capture when I've never completed any Extra besides PoFV, or any Hard modes besides LLS :V (Kagome-Kagome that is. I safespot Starbow Break <.< >.> )

Note to self: don't look for secret stages on scoring runs.

FFFFFFUUUUUUU
I finally reach flandre's last non-card with 2 lives 3 bombs (plenty to clear the stage!) then I die during a regular avoidance move for god knows what reason, then proceed to die twice to the edge of those blue rotating things on counter clock right when they end >.<
RAAAAAAAGE!!!
-
Possessed by Phoenix now holds my personal record for most attempts at capturing without a single capture. I can get past the second phase about 2% of the time. Also, I keep clipping on Flaw of Forgiving Shrine, one of the easiest Extra cards ever.

As someone who's died to Ultimate Buddhist, Seven Stones and Seven Trees, Danmaku Paranoia, and Mysterious Snake Show, I feel your pain.
I've been wondering for a while why ZUN puts in these cards, and I think I've finally arrived at an answer: depression. They're easier than some Stage 1 cards, so, if you happen to screw up in the midst of the excitement, you'll be so depressed, you'll game over in your mind.
Psychological warfare, people. ZUN's a bastard.
-
I clip Seven Stones ALL THE TIME. Snake Show on the other hand, I think I'm like 42/43 or so across all shot types. The one failed attempt was when the game bugged out and thought I was holding left the whole time. Actually I may have even captured it then, making my failed attempt something more like:
"Hey let's look at the history for this card"
"What the fuck why am I 9/10"
"Oh it's because I'm currently on the tent...SHIT"
-
When I'm playing Koishi, it's not like I'm fighting Koishi, it's more like I'm fighting MYSELF.
Played Extra just for the kick. Sanae was fine, death at the fast bullets, then everything captured all the way to Youkai Polygraph, death at Rorschach, stupid death at pre-Genetics, was SO close to capturing this card for the first time, death at Philosophy.
Two lives left when reaching Subterranean Rose. I was so excited, that I almost didn't control myself anymore. KOISHI'S CONTROLLING ME! AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Lost both lifes at the third phase.
Beautiful. (sarcasm)

Maybe my video helps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amU_6OrxLz8&feature=channel_page. I could also never get passed the 2nd phase, then I changed my tactic to this and it became easy as hell.
*despereately hopes people watch my videos*
-
I KNOW the extra stages are hard, but I shouldn't be dying within the first 30 seconds of the stage every. single. time.
Gah, I'm just no good today. Died to Kogasa twice.
-
So close to doing a perfect clear of LLS Easy as Marisa A... Screwed up against the enemies right before the bullet circles from nowhere on stage 5... I EVEN DID THE FREAKING REIMU BATTLE PERFECTLY!!! GAAAH!!! Well, let's see if I can salvage this into a one death, one bomb run... Since I accidentally revival bombed when I died...
EDIT: Yes... Managed to get the one death, one bomb clear. I was so close to perfect...

After repeatedly failing to not mess up scoring in EoSD, I got bored, so.
My EoSD Extra Likelyhood Chart
Chances of not messing up the first set of fairies: 20%.
Chances of not messing up the next three sets of fairies: 80%.
Chances of not messing up Silent Selene: 50%.
Chances of not messing up the other two cards: 70%.
Chances of not messing up somewhere in the rest of the pre-Flan spam: 40%.
Chances of not messing up Flandre: 20% (being generous).

And there I was, a few months ago, thinking I'd mastered EoSD Extra. Assuming that's right, I have slightly less than a one in two hundred chance of getting a good scoring run. ;____;

Go above her for the first horizontal sweep. The second one is almost completely straight, then circle around before the last one.
-
Trying an unfocused timeout of 1.5x speed Fujiyama Volcano. Three times I got it to less than ten seconds, one of these attempts ending by hitting the very last bullet I'd have to actually dodge, with less than two seconds to go.
-
EoSD Extra makes me so mad. Not because it's really that hard... but because I just like to screw up really badly at some point and fail. The only place I haven't screwed up at is Laevatain, but that's because it's ridiculously easy. Most of my screwing up is at the spam fairies, where I somehow don't dodge bullets that should pass right by me. The 2nd death fairy... It's just sad how much I screw up on it. I should probably bomb it seeing as how if I want to score, I need to bomb it anyway :X
Then in comes Patchy! Silent Selene has finally become trivial for me... But Royal Flare has suddenly not become kind of easy? I now collide randomly with danmaku for whatever reason. Philosopher's Stone is usually autobomb, but if I die on Royal Flare I can clear it :P
The rest of the stage is normally perfect now. The spam books get me sometimes though.
Flandre is like a giant mess of screw ups. I haven't screwed up on her noncards yet, but I haven't captured Cranberry Trap even though it's the exact same pattern every single time, and I know how to do it. At least everything else is easy... Until Maze of Love. I just realized that I have to unfocus to catch up with the holes :P. Now if only I can GET TO THE CARD AGAIN!!! :(
-
At the end of a long day, nothing beats grinding an extra stage until you reliably die on the first wave of fairies. ;D
-
SoEW: Single-handedly proves Marisa to be the most broken character in the series.

whyyyyyyyyyyyyy damn you PoFV
nine lunatic 1cc's in a row which didn't save, sixth with mystia (story mode god tier)
but you save all the match mode losses, stupid game
and trying to record it while playing drops fps to 40 against yuka and shiki

-
You weren't supposed to dodge those! Fine, I'll just kill you without using bullets!
Bomb until you're out of bombs! Then die! Then do it all over again! Hahahaha!!! AhHAHAHAHAHAHA! AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
Oh, you thought you dodged those orbs?! Think again! I'll just have them explode and make you game over before it's humanly possible to bomb!

So, an unknown supernatural force has decided that my PC was too dangerous to exist and killed off my registry. The reason why this belongs in this thread is the following:
If I don't manage to reclaim the data from my old hard drive, all of my danmakufu scripts will be gone!

I just did a score run in IN (note: new to this game^^) and well I went to Marisa without dying and then I die right multiple times during the rest of the game landing with last life when I clear.
Rage? RAGE.
-
So on my first try today, I game overed SA before reaching Satori
On my second try, I reached Satori with 7 lives, beat her with only 1 life left.
On my third, fourth and fifth tries I always perfect Satori or lose 0/1 life, die on stage 5, reach Orin with about 5 lives and never beat her....
WTF!?

Orin is the hardest boss in the game by a fair bit, not counting Koishi. As always, I'd prescribe some stage practice. :V I would also prescribe bombing Orin's midboss card every time you see it, because that is some pretty evil BS.
And, on a more rage-ish note, I just did what appeared to be a really good run of EoSD Extra that I thought would finally get me over 400m. Q.E.D finished, and my base score looked good, and then for some reason I get some utterly pathetic bonus that didn't even bring my close to my previous score, let alone 400m. Man, I really need to learn how to do that ridiculous Laevateinn grazing...
-
Fun fact ShiningDrake: I've defeated Marisa only dying once. :P There really isn't much to say, except to know exactly which attacks you are going to bomb on and when. IMO, if you can defeat Marisa, it is entirely possible to beat Mima, because I've done it even after Marisa took away every last one of my resources.

The attacks I bomb on that I can think of off the top of my head would be the spinning stars that come at you at insane speeds and anything involving her orbs coming out really far away from her, since I almost invarably get smacked when they do >.< I have a feeling I' forgetting something though... Still, her fight just seems to last way too long considering that she has utterly insane attacks that she keeps using over and over again...
And even with her brokenness, I've had a couple runs where I could easily have 1cc'd if the game hadn't cheated >.<
Here, take a point blank wall out of nowhere!
...Like that.

I make it to stage 5 with Marisa A in Subterranean Animism. Only problem? Because I try not to waste bombs I only had about 3 power, making it hard to take out the enemies at the start (yeah, you can just stream the aimed shots and avoid the not aimed ones, but if you don't kill stuff early on that part gets really annoying really fast) and when I die without bombs in stock I only get 2 back, which is akin to having just 1 power for any other type...
Naturally, I did poorly on the stage and end up with only about 3 lives with which to fight Orin (I entered with at least 5 since I did surprisingly well against Satori). I proceed to back up into a bullet on her first attack, get forced to bomb her first card, die on her second noncard, do fine on Spleen-Eater until I panicbomb at the tail-end of it, and proceed to do horribly on her next noncard, before dying to Needle Mountain since I somehow forgot about the wheels and was trying to position myself in preparation for the tiny bullets.
-
Oh God now I'm just tired of EoSD Extra... Well it's not the Extra that I'm tired of, it's the stupid stage. When I get to Flandre, everything becomes fun, but the Stage is like omg I'm so tired of the same crap over and over... I'm bored of staring at Silent Selene trying to pick out paths through it. I'm tired of Royal Flare sniping me when I should pass through it unharmed. The pattern in Philosopher's Stone is getting boring... Boooo.... I'm taking a break off of EoSD Extra :(
-
Mai's laser on their second dual phase... Why does it exist...? I did a perfect run of MS Easy until I reached that thing, and then I died T_T Why...? Why...? Why...?

Look at my edit :V Though I did screw up and die to that too afterward, probably because of a drop in playing ability due to "NO!!! WHY??!!!!"
EDIT: So, I went through the rest of the run. Ended up dying THREE times on Mai, once during the stage part of stage 5, twice to Yumeko, and once to Shinki (On Devil's Recitation) I have no idea what happened here, honestly... I was almost surprised to have completed the run at all after failing Mai so badly...
-
Crap. I totally forgot how to do UFO Stages 1-4. I'm back to square one for a UFO 1cc... God damn it :( And it's more like I don't remember how to capture UFOs properly, which leads to stupid deaths trying to chase random ones down.

Not being able to play as Lunasa in PoFV due to yet another stupid PoFV bug.
Sure, old news, but seriously, what the hell.

First time ever playing SoEW. Died to Mima's second phase.
This alone is not rage-worthy, but now I find myself unable to beat Meira, because she runs over me (literally) every chance she gets. God damn it, woman. WHY WON'T YOU DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Did I just die on Alice's third phase 2 times?
Even the icy bullets hint towards the difficulty...

Hey guys, I found EoSD Phantasm! Here's a step-by-step unlock guide:
1. Play EoSD Extra for score.
<_<
-
Hey, you're at least using MarisaB. I use MarisaA and I just have Stardust Reverie for score. >_>
-
Hey, you're at least using MarisaB. I use MarisaA and I just have Stardust Reverie for score. >_>
Well yeah, but that just means that the bar's set higher; a 400m with MarisaB is probably about as impressive as a 350m with MarisaA. To be honest I'd prefer to use MarisaA myself because of how much easier Flandre becomes (I can cap Q.E.D. semi-consistently with MarisaA and haven't capped it yet with MarisaB), except that I'm trying to get a decent score in the tournament thingybob. :V
-
Okay, seriously, why does Satori's Straw Doll Kamakaze have so much HP?
The "straw" the dolls leave behind like to wall me if I stop focusing on misdirecting the dolls for too long and Satori likes to move around a lot. Combined with the fact I'm going to have half power (at best) by the time they get there means that I'm going to be timing out that attack, which means no additional power gained... Just lovely when I'd prefer to end Return Inanimateness as soon as I possibly can.
Yes, neither attack is particularly hard, per se, but I never seem to be able to end Straw Doll before the timer runs out, and if Return Inanimateness lasts too long I start getting nervous and have to bomb to save myself.
-
God DAMN it flandre, damn you to hell!
I can now consistently reach her with 4 lives, I even capture cranberry trap and maze of love and still I can't beat you! I lost freaking 2 lives on starbow break (one of them was when trying to reach the safe spot >:(), some day flandre, some day I will beat you and use you as a carpet!
On the other hand I captured cardio-whatever, the blue ball card ;D
-
Touhou 2, whateveryoucallit. SoEW?
So many deaths, bullets which I can't see, lasers which materialize too fast, and STUPID MIMA BALLS. DO YOU REALLY HAVE TO THROW BALLS AT ME?
REIMU HAS BALLS ALREADY. YOU CAN'T HAVE BALLS.

I swear to God, the only way to death-bomb in EoSD is to bomb before you get hit.

Fuck Satori on Hard mode! She is incredible BS. Those ReimuA cards... they are all terrible. Well, not so much the one in the middle but still stupid. There is nothing fun about that battle and "butterflies" are bullshit of another world. And of course BoWaP. DON'T YOU DARE TAP A PIXEL TO MUCH TO THE SIDE!!!
Holy hell that pattern is dense! The lunatic version i got a capture rate of 2/10 of including some timeout attempts. My capture rate of the hard version is 1/30. I could of course use bombs but where's the fun in that?
Fuck, i don't know if i'll do better tomorrow after getting some sleep but for now... Orin is lol-easy compared to Satori.

Weird. The butterfly card is easily done with 1 bomb and BoWaP isn't that bad....the "wave" part got me most of the time. 1/17 history.
-
I was just gonna complain at BoWaP as well =/
I just made it to the last 5% of life or so and had to bomb cause i got lost lol
Made into 5th stage with 7 lives... I'll come rage after I've lost all of them to Orin, brb.
-
More PoFV bug silliness: if you're playing as Sakuya and release a lvl2 spell while your boss summon is stopping time from the other side of the screen, you spend the gauge but don't clear shit. As if the scope made for sideswiping spirits in the late game wasn't enough.
-
Fuck Utsuho.
got to her with 3 lives (yeah, Orin took 5), died TWICE to her first spellcard because I was sure I had it.

You could always use the safespot that works on all difficulties and gives thousands of grazes (http://i38.tinypic.com/v3k17l.jpg) :V
Also, fff.
Perfect Mokou fight with Scarlet Team. Then I get to Xu Fu's Dimension and die twice. Then two deathbombs on Honest Man's Death.
What.

I have a real problem with SA
I reached Utsuho with 4 lives and game over'd on her last spell
I reached Utsuho with 2 lives and game over'd on her last spell
I reached Utsuho with 0 lives and game over'd on her last spell
Utsuho gives out more lives than she can take from you. Except I use more than one fucking bomb per noncard/spellcard
i cannot capture anything she throws at me, bomb everything and no matter how many lives I reach her with, i always die at the exact same point... I mean... WTF =/
her second to last spell.. with the two suns... it's ANNOYING AS FUCK

Normal or Hard? I'm not sure if it works well on other difficulties, but her "two suns" spellcard on Normal I usually dodge up-down instead of left-right, positioning myself about halfway between the center of the screen and the left wall.
Also, take your time on the non-spells. Don't try to get through the waves to go back to the center if you screw up, it's easy to mess up and clip.
-

I know but i don't like bombing. I perfected Orin at Hard difficulty pretty quickly and i want to do the same to Satori so the butterfly will be a huge speedbump in that mission. Maybe i'll just decide to bomb it anyway and just make it no-deaths. BoWaP will always be a card i don't like, but i'll just have to get better at it.
-
So last time I got to Shinki in MS, it was the first time I ever fought her. I did pretty well up until that attack where the yellow...blob...things...come at you. I didn't even realize they were bullets and lost all my lives.
Yesterday, I got to them for the second time and was fully prepared. I prepped myself to dodge and...lost all my lives!
Holy fuck, how do you dodge those things without bombspam.
-
I hate my laptop, I can't press z and x at the same time due to wiring or something. So everytime I have to bomb I have to release z and he needs a few 0,1 sec to register that so it takes even longer for a bomb to activate.
Result: many failed EoSD deathbombs :(

I decided to try out MoF Hard.
Stage 1, Perfecto~
Stage 2, derp mistake on midboss leading to a death with full power. Kept going.
Stage 3, no deaths~
Stage 4, No deaths during stage, but OH MY GOD AYA.
Stage 5, 2 deaths from running out of power. Walls, walls~
I reach Kanako with 2 lives, full power. And then I forgot to dodge her first spellcard. After making it to her final spell with no lives, 3.60 power, I lose on VoWG with about an inch of health left on the bar.
AUUUUGH HOW DID I FORGET TO MOVE ON HER FIRST CARD AND DIE FULL POWER
-
Yuugi on Hard killed my 1cc.
I hate Guerrilla Typhoon for a reason.....and Mt. Ooe isn't any different.
Bombed all 3 midboss attacks, screwed up on stage, died on Mt. Ooe because I've had no power and stupidly clipped her final card.

I can't believe it! I finally capture cranberry trap and I proceeded to kick ass and chew bubble gum, then on counter-clock with 1 live left, I capture the card and I was a little eager with moving up on the 3rd wave (with straight balls)... turned out the balls weren't so straigth towards the top. so I lose my last life and I needed used all my bombs on And then there were None so I had nothing left on Q.E.D.

You can't fucking get any closer than what I did without actually winning. I demand my extra 10 million, a replay, and a big fat 1 on the spell counter for Q.E.D.
I even had a high score, but was so appalled I didn't save the replay.

what the FUCK is that
the stage 2 midboss is impossible with ReimuC
the boss walls you and throws shit point blank with a -1 minute deathbomb timer
the third boss has the most unfair lasers I've seen
the 4th boss has undodgeable balls
also Mystic Square
the stages are WAY TOO DAMN LONG
and stage 4 bosses=what the hell
I've lost FOUR LIVES THERE
That's 2 times more than on Shinki....
-
Oh my god, yes. You are completely correct, MS Stage 4 boss fight is the worst designed fight ever. Yuki in particular is what makes it so damn stupid, Mai isn't that bad on her own.

I like the Yuki/Mai battle, to be honest. Much better than the Prismrivers since it's an actual 2-vs-1 while the Prismrivers 3-vs-1 cards are just clusterfucks.

You want real visibility issues? Play UFO stage 5. As Sanae B. Insane numbers of fairies coming on the screen, shooting random bullets everywhere, exploding while the splash from your shots kill them... It's not really something that can be described, but... Oh god...
-
Visibility issues? Play as MarisaA in UFO. God her familiars makes reading bullets in front of you ridiculously hard. It's especially difficult on Shou's final spell card :(
Edit: God damn it! Why do I die on Laevatain now??? I have Silent Selene down most of the time, Royal Flare I almost have perfected, Philosopher's Stone is still more or less an auto bomb, but LAEVATAIN??? That just blows my mind.
At least I've perfected Cranberry Trap now. I can't believe how trivial it is :D
-
So i decided to try MS Extra. I knew i was supposed to be ready for an abusively bad pre-boss stage like with all other extra stages and having to go through it several times because of having to figure out boss patterns.
I just didn't know that Alice cheats. A lot of her attacks revolve around cheap techniques like a flashing background for example.
And sure thing, there is going to be some attacks i initially won't be able to handle because i don't know how they work. Add to that, its PC-98 so i won't have the generosity of death-bomb or a visible hit-box.
Maybe i should just forget all about PC-98 altogether. That would be more healthy for me. ZUN was probably less experienced back then.

I've done the extras just for completion.
SoEW is just unfair, MS gives way too little lives(I can barely 1cc Normal with 6 lives default, plus the stage 4 boss is just stupidly hard) and I haven't played LLS all that much.
I find the PC-98 stages way too long as well.
-
Well, i don't think i can collect the masochism to do so. Playing through the stage is just a chore and and the lack of windows features makes the entire affair pretty dreadful.
I have so far only made it to the phase with the homing snakes. Did beat it but got obliterated by the following phase.
The fire spell is sometimes pretty simple and other times i just die for some reason, probably a pretty lame one. (The latter deeming another dreadful playthrough of the stage, no mistakes allowed.)
Then there is the streaming spell similar to the one Sanae uses. I hate it. I can't see when it ends because its PC-98 and while i can do it most of the time, its just stressful and feels terrible to play.
Another attack worthy of complaining about is the one where she shoots a lot of lasers at you and then as the attack progresses fills small bullets within the gaps. That attack sucks sooooooooooo much.
Then there is the snake attack. I've seen videos. I know what to do, but i can't seem to pull it off. At least i can take it out with two bombs.
Whatever you are supposed to do with the one following it i have no clue about.
Oh and the final attack looks like the biggest piece of garbage trash ever. Looks like something that wouldn't really be that hard if it weren't for the garbage flashy background.
Considering how i'm no completist, not intested in dedicating myself to anything as well as not fond enough of PC-98. I've got other things to do with my life so i'm through with PC-98 from now on. I might take a casual playthrough of LLS or MS Normal but that's the end of that.
-
The fire spell is easy if you are directly under her, but it sometimes forces you to go to the side.....and when that happens, good luck :V
And yeah, the last pattern is way too damn long. I've captured both of Gengetu's finals, yet Alice's is much longer and much harder. I've even died once right when she exploded.
-
very, very frustrated with SA
I got to 6th stage on Hard, yet whenever I play normal, I'm too careless and lose lives in very silly ways...
-
Well, i don't think i can collect the masochism to do so. Playing through the stage is just a chore and and the lack of windows features makes the entire affair pretty dreadful.
As a lover of the PC 98 games, I must protest. They're quite fun, and certainly not as bad as you're making them out to be. LLS and MS especially feel very much like EoSD do (although you may not like EoSD either). The MS EX stage is all about practise, practise, practise. Streaming the early bullets can net you a lot of points, MS's extra life system requires scoring so you can aim to net a few extra 1ups this way, but the extra stage is really not much different from any other, you'll need lots of practise to get through it without dying/bombing a whole bunch.]
Then there is the streaming spell similar to the one Sanae uses. I hate it. I can't see when it ends because its PC-98 and while i can do it most of the time, its just stressful and feels terrible to play.
This one's even easier to do than her opener since it's all simple streaming, then misdirecting her before moving in the other direction. Actually, I think it's easier than Sanae's, once you get the timing down.
Another attack worthy of complaining about is the one where she shoots a lot of lasers at you and then as the attack progresses fills small bullets within the gaps. That attack sucks sooooooooooo much.
You're jumbling the two separate purple laser phases into one. The first phase is all streaming, just tap to the sides to avoid the fast lasers, then keep tapping through the smaller bullets to avoid the beams.
The second phase where she spams lasers and bullets is one of her harder ones, especially if she fires while moving, so don't be surprised if you have to bomb/die on it, it can take a bit of luck.
Whatever you are supposed to do with the one following it i have no clue about.
While I tend to hide in the bottom corners and weave through the shots, the player in the video I linked stays in the middle with Mima, squeezing through the bullets. If you can get the positioning right, this might be the quickest way to end it.
Oh and the final attack looks like the biggest piece of garbage trash ever. Looks like something that wouldn't really be that hard if it weren't for the garbage flashy background.
It's probably her nastiest attack, and not due to the background. As it progresses, it speeds up, which is what makes it difficult. The only thing you can do about it is reach it with bombs/lives to spare, I've lost track of how many times I died against her while she had a sliver of health left before I finally managed to beat her.

FUCKING SYOU
-
FUCKING UFO
seriously
that game DOESN'T FUCK AROUND
it's cool on normal
but on Hard
WHAT THE FUCK
I lose 3 lives on Kogasa. Stage 3 walls me like nothing before.
First retarded brofist card. Captured it on Hard just now and it was like dodging 3 Starbow Breaks at once while having shit fly around to obscure the view and the bullets don't just fall. They MOVE.
All of the brofist cards. I can't capture ANYTHING
It's just plain BULLSHIT
Shou has atleast 2 remotely capturable cards(2nd and last)
Cloudy Way in Purple
what the HELL
are you SHITTING ME
SA was that cool level of hard
but UFO
NO
JUST NO ZUN
were you tripping while making Kogasa?
do you really have to make 2 of the 3 spellcards uncapturable by an average mortal?(when lucky enough)
tl;dr: fgsfds
-
DAMNIT. I burnt myself out on EoSD Extra, trying too many scorerun attempts in too short a period of time, and as such I haven't played it much in the last few days and now I'm not going to get my target in time for the end of the tournament. ;_;
@Bananamatic: Yeah, when it says Hard, it means Hard. Of course, if you really want some nightmares, give Lunatic a go. :V Kogasa is a LOT harder, Stage 3 will wall you even more, every Byakuren card becomes really really fast, and... Vajira of Perfect Buddhism. Basically, FUCKING SYOU
Enough said, I think. @_@
-
Vajira of Perfect Buddhism
When I hear that, I can already hear Reimu's bomb in my head.
What really sucks is the difficulty gap. Normal is doable for me with lives left even when I mess up a lot, the Extra isn't exactly hard either, but once you switch to Hard, the difficulty almost doubles.
-
So yea... I haven't played for about 2 weeks due to high school-are you supposed to get this much work? I've gotten about 3 projects to do, a shitload of HW, 4 tests and 2 quizzes already. There's probably a lot more but I just tried to play UFO without restarts due to lack of time. So yea... I just failed to get past stage 3.. nice....

Same from Easy to Normal IMO. I can no-death Easy mode, but I can't 1cc Normal >.<
-
EoSD Extra... I have a mental barrier now I'm sure of it. Midboss Patchy is no problem save for one definite bomb on Philosopher's Stone, and a bomb on Silent Selene maybe 1/5 times. I have my pattern down for Royal Flare finally and it's now cake :D
Rest of the stage blah blah, sometimes I bomb once just because... Then Flandre... Ok all of her nonspells are cake... Cranberry Trap is easy now that I have the pattern down... Laevatain is easy now too and I don't die stupidly on it anymore... Four of a Kind is like her easiest spell card other than Cranberry Trap...
Then in comes Kagome, Kagome. I go W T F. It's like Silent Selene part 2 but with simultaneous spawning bullets to worry about, and I sometimes lose focus and clipdeath it. After that is Maze of Love. I seems fairly simple, but I won't pass judgment on it yet since I've only faced it like 5 times. I think it's going to be fairly doable though.
Then I lose my two last lives on the next spell card? 3 bombs unused? COME ON!! :(
-
Mai is worse when they're together IMO :V That stupid laser of hers is what makes their second phase a nightmare x.x
Ahaha, I forgot the fire-using one was named Yuki. I thought, y'know, ZUN'd give the name that means "snow" to the one that fights with ice magic. :V
But yeah, Mai (or whichever one uses the god damned laser) is much worse.
-
Then in comes Kagome, Kagome. I go W T F. It's like Silent Selene part 2 but with simultaneous spawning bullets to worry about, and I sometimes lose focus and clipdeath it.
I see a lot of people - even some of the pros - taking Kagome Kagome from the bottom of the screen, but I find taking it from the center - more precisely, from inside the little rectangular "box" that forms near the center - a lot easier.
-

I haven't tried that yet. I don't go to the bottom bottom, more like around the area where the first horizontal line of green danmaku form.
-
How would you go about making Kagome Kagome easier anyway? The only thing that can go wrong is you getting screwed over and isn't that easier higher up the screen?
-

"So, which one do you suck at doing the most?"
For those of you who can't read the moonrunes, the highlighted Spell Cards are the Satori-Yukari ones (in this case, it's at Lunatic).
It's also really, really strange that I can do them near-perfectly on Hard too.
-
How would you go about making Kagome Kagome easier anyway? The only thing that can go wrong is you getting screwed over and isn't that easier higher up the screen?
From experience, I see if it will bullshit me a few moments earlier if I'm higher up, and you also have to deal with less "grid" bullets passing through you since more than half of it crumbles below your position or just passes harmlessly to your sides, compared to what you get at the bottom. Basically you only have to pay attention to the large bullets Flandre fires, the grid becomes almost a non-threat.

Decided to make a quick upload of how I do Kagome Kagome, I don't really understand what's easier about staying in the middle, you have less room ???

Meh...
Perfect run of SA Normal until stage 5, which I managed to reach with 8 lives
Entered stage 6 with 4 lives, died for the FIRST TIME at mid-boss Orin... Dear god I always capture that and i died now... Proceeded to reach Utsuho's last card with 2/2.0
Died without bombing... used all 3 bombs, died again... used all 4 bombs, died again =(
Made me very sad when I died and utsuho had less than 5% life remaining... I really can't dodge those small bullets and the red ones at the same time... I had to bomb at EVERY small white bullet wave =(
-
UFO extra
I can't reach Nue
-
UFO Normal.
I HATE MURASA ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Yes, I'm that bad I don't even need to worry about 5th stage...
-
wait there are actually people which enjoy StB?
It's a terrible game. Repeating patterns, stupid character(too fast or too slow)
One of the things I hate the most in games is perfection. And StB is basically 100% that.
Not to mention that all of the stages have maybe 3 themes total. Total brainwashing after trying to clear one stage for over an hour.
-
wait there are actually people which enjoy StB?
There are 4 stage themes, 5 if you count Wind God Girl for 10-8. The speed and gameplay are just something to get used to. There are many different interesting spellcards in the game, several of which ZUN considered good enough to reuse for Satori, and others which require clever use of you bullet removing camera or acknowledgement of how a pattern works to beat them. Because of that, it has a larger puzzle element than the rest of the games, but that isn't really different from the extra bosses where usually half the spellcards require or are made very easy by the use of a trick.
So yeah, it is different, but it is still a fun game. :P
Hmm, maybe I should give it a try again, I still haven't cleared all scenes. I stopped when I finally beat Kaguya's infamous Ceiling attack... took only ~ 900 tries...
Ok, I think I can see why many people don't like the game. :V But it is not a bad game, nontheless.
On Topic: Yes, I think I really do have lost all my selfmade danmakufu scripts. Definitely worth a red UFO invasion.
-
I enjoy StB
I haven't played much but I have opened stage 5 which made me happy.
The game is still too difficult for me but I got a nice feeling once I completed the scenes =)
-
I haven't touched StB in a while, but I do love it. Although later on it starts turning to bullshit (Meiling. 250+ tries on 5-5, I think it was...)
Anyway, so, err... I've forgotten how to NOT scorerun on UFO.
I was trying to play for survival to 1cc w/Marisa terriBad, BUT NO. Let's run in and graze Metal Detector! Wait out ichirin's nonspells for Graze! Spend stage 5 trying with Blue UFOs when dear god I'm about to fight Shou WHY AM I NOT GATHERING MORE LIVES I ONLY HAVE TWO *Thwack* ONE LEFT.
AND THEN I SWEAR I WAS PRESSING GODDAMN BOMB WHEN I GOT HIT D:
Sadly I still managed to outdo my current Normal record score by about 50 mil, and that was a 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5293). But I didn't even want to. ARGH.
-
So, after some half of a month, or maybe a month of non-play, I try practicing SA Normal. I mean after so much grinding I've earned that I can finally practice Stage 5. So, I beat Orin in Practice mode. With zero lives left. WHATTHEHELL??? I can't even keep 8 lives in a single stage??? I've really gotten that bad??? I sorta lost my interest in 1ccing this game's Normal at all. I rather try some Extra Stages that I haven't beaten yet. Those are FAR easier than SA.
It's really strange that the only game where I can't 1cc Normal is my favorite.
-
Oh my God I hate Shou so much. I got to Flying Fantastica with 0/0... why? Because I lost 4 lives on Shou and 1 accidentally on midboss Nazrin. BOOO.
And I got it down to half health before dying T_T
-
UNL.
My friend kicks my ass all over the place at this game.
Remilia is all over the damn place and Komachi covers a football field with each attack.
-
FUCKFUCKFUCKDAMMIT
I just perfected PCB Extra all the way up to and including Kokkuri-San's contract. My heart is beating really really fast and I start to panic/worry that I'll mess up. Izuna Gongen then kills me twice. HOW THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN IT'S NOT EVEN THAT HARD GODDAMNIT ARGHHHH
Replay since the rest of the run is still pretty good, I guess. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5295)
-
Makes me wonder how the hell is Kokkuri-san harder than Boundary of Humans and Youkai. :V
Other than that and a stage clip it would be a no death run.
EDIT: Completely forgot Yukari's frogger pattern and broke my perfect history of Xanadu of Straight and Curve.

Mystic Square Extra is clearly the greatest-designed stage in the series. Where else can you find red bullets that look exactly like the big power items
-
That stage is just annoying. Made me yell.
Emmm... are you using Mima? The donut tells people to use Yuka, i tried that. I guess i was doing something wrong because she sucked. Taking Baitys advice and using Mima helped out with the stage though.

Seconding this. Though I usually take spread shots over focused any day, Mima is just so much better.
Plus, I'm sure you'd rather have her for the boss fight itself instead of a weak spread.
-
Argh! >:(
Just made an awesomely good scoring run on PoFV lunatic Story Mode Stage 1 (Cirno), obtaining almost 14 million points as opposed to the usual 6~7 million. I then proceeded to completely mess the rest of the run up.
:V
I hate my fragile nerves.

And Stage 4 of Subterranean Animism has me mix up those blue spell tag bullets and blue point power-ups, causing me to sometimes freak out when they suddenly start to gravitate towards me... Yes I'm that pathetic, why do you ask?

I have it unlocked for both Mima and Yuka!
I have to admit, Mima is just so much better for Extra. I'm still trying to get a Marisa 1cc of the game, but for some reason I cannot fight Alice with Marisa without losing a minimum of three lives :V

Orin midboss.

You on lunatic already?
Well I've 1cc'd hard so I'm messing around with Lunatic a bit....won't get used to higher difficulties unless you'll play them :V
Goes for all difficulties though. The midboss noncards simply mess me up. Both stage 4 and 5.
-
Over 10 tries at clearing TEoSD Stage 6 Normal on Practice Mode.
Over 5 clipdeaths at the first fairies' barrage.
Normally, I could reach Remilia's Scarlet Shoot, but never did I once get past her opener... that is, if I don't Game Over before reaching her.
...Well, looks like I'm in no condition to play tonight.
-
PoDD normal.
No deaths up to Chiyuri. I had full health and she had half a heart, I lost. It seems that Chiyuri goes BATSHIT INSANE on her last heart. I probably shouldn't have ragequit but I did.
Also, Kotohime and Ellen are REALLY REALLY annoying.
-
UFO Extra.
Kogasa's first card. So easy to die for nonsensical reasons...
"Unidentified Darkness". Srsly ZUN. Wasn't Genetics of the Subconscious enough? Now I can't even see how the bullets move until they pretty much hit my f***ing face? BULLSHIT!

Kogasa is a dick....the first 2 spellcards especially. The 3rd one is easy....but the first 2 always kill me.
-
Ironically enough you guys are talking UFO Extra now. Today i went for a UFO extra run. I did win but the results was so goddamn horrible. As soon as i make it to the green UFO' spellcard i just lose every spellcard from there on out and i die 5 fucking times during the affair. I don't know if i should put that under the embarassing moments topic but it rages me more than it embarasses me because i realize during this run that Nue actually isn't all that great an extra boss. If you die you lose mandatory power (UFO's fault, not Nue's. ;)) and if you don't have that power it only increases the probabilities of getting killed at the next attack.
Frustrating. People tell me to use bombs but i don't want to use bombs. Why would that be necessary?
Oh and yes, Unidentified Darkness. Don't even get me started on that one. Its a spellcard of so flawed game design that it makes all EX Kogasa's spellcards look fun.
All in all, Nue has just lost my respect. Its not a good fight. Its a manageable fight that can easily be beaten but her attacks are bad, her stage is bad and EX Kogasa is bad as well.
Oh Nue, whatever is wrong with you?
How i'd wish i could hack Touhou games. Then i'd go and remove the stage portions of the extra levels altogether. They are just there to keep you from the actual boss which is bound to be the only reason you play them.
-
Unidentified Darkness, like pretty much all of Nue's cards, is completely trivial once you learn them(with a dash of random-ness, but that affects a lot of easy cards). The only "hard" cards are the last three.
Basically, bomb more. You complain about "DYING MAKES ME LOSE ALL MY POWER", yet you DECIDE to die instead of bomb.
Oh, and play StB.

I usually only bomb when i plan to do so. For the rest of the time i rely on my dodging skill and my death-bomb reflexes to pull me through which a lot of the time is enough.
And that "dying makes me lose power" is funny enough only an issue in my least favorite Touhou game. Maybe that's the reason. Dying in all the others (Heck even MS and LLS are good at restoring power after the phases) usually only means lost power until you take out a spellcard. With or without a bomb.
And you might have a point in the fact that Nue's cards must be learnt. That's something extra bosses usually do. Guess i'll go ask for the magical tricks where doing so is appropriate. Then i'll see if can manage better if i collect the masochism to play through the stage again.
-
Oh, and play StB.
This is amazing advice. Undefined Darkness is easy as long as you don't get screwed by a pincer movement of bullets or thinking you can get closer to the top of the screen than the game lets you, but you still need dodging skills and StB is the best way to learn how to dodge stuff.
-
I find bombs are fairly useful even when the boss doesn't take damage from them. For example, against Flandre's Cranberry Trap I've yet to figure out how to not fail on it, so I sometimes have to bomb it to avoid dying. Flandre won't take damage, but it at least gives me some breathing room and buys me some time to set up for another assault.
As for rage... Well, stage 4 and Satori are giving me a lot of problems as Patchouli/Marisa. What's worse is I know the trick to all of the cards, I just keep screwing up... I really can't stand Princess Undine, but at least Philosopher's Stone isn't as hard as it is in ESoD (and looks a lot more awesome, to boot).
Nitori/Marisa on the same stage is also a pain... With absolutely no spread to her name I have to use more bombs than I like (I still can't reliably deathbomb... Maybe half the time I can do it), especially on the part after midboss Orin, and.... Is it just me, or are Satori's version of Nitori's cards harder than the actual Nitori set? Because I can fight Nitori in MoF almost perfectly, yet Satori's version of her attacks always get me...
-
what the fucking fuck
UFO extra stage no deaths, all 3 Kogasa spells captured
red UFO
first a bullet to the face out of nowhere
then hit by an offscreen UFO
clipped her following nonspell
then clipped it again while raging
fact: you either fuck up the stage or the boss.
EDIT: Let me capture Grudge Bow already. Yet another phase 4 wallshit 2 seconds before killing her.
EDIT2: WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH KOKKURI SAN
IT'S FUCKING UNCAPTURABLE
-
IN hard 1cc attempt ending at Marisa. Run goes completely perfect (Aside from failing at Wriggle's bonus spell wtf happened.) and then I manage to lose FOUR lives (INCLUDING ALL THE BOMBS ARFGJHJD WHY WONT I BOMB) on her first appearance... her midboss... whatever the fuck you call it.
-
Youmu: Hi Marisa!
Marisa: Oh, hello Youmu. Hey, ever wonder what it's like to be a full ghost?
Youmu: Huh? Wait, what are you doing?! D: *dies many, many times*
This has been a summary of my last run of IN. I hope you enjoyed it~
...Though it seriously doesn't help that I do most of the first three stages unfocused <_<; The only exception being the boss battle with Keine... But if I don't, then those stages are sorta boring on Normal... And then of course, I actually tried to graze one of Marisa's attacks, and ended up simply slamming into a star wall :V
-
EDIT2: WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH KOKKURI SAN
IT'S FUCKING UNCAPTURABLE
What part do you have trouble with? I capture it fairly consistently now, maybe I can help~
-
Perfect PCB Extra run up to Izuna Gongen. I die at the fourth wave when the small blue arrow bullets are appearing. I then finish the rest of the card perfectly.
GODDAMNIT
-
So I'm going for a no-deaths run of IN extra.
Phoenix's Tail goes down despite me having no confidence, and I go up to collect my point items. I shout "ha, I thought I was dead but hitbox faith beats everything!".
Then Mokou telefrags me and I don't deathbomb in time. Even if I had, that would leave me with insufficient bombs for Rings of Death and Volcano.
Unhappy.
-
yay for nervousness
almost captured all Utsuho's cards on Lunatic this run - got her first one for the first time, got even Peta Flare, captured Tokamak.....and then I totally fuck up Subterranean Sun even though I have a decent history on it.
-
no-deaths
IN extra.
insufficient bombs for
Volcano.
Fujiyama Volcano is easy (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5331) and should be a 100% sure capture if you're going for no-deaths. I even went as far as trying this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9gtWIlhnQk).
-
Argh damnit seriously what the hell, I used to be able to beat Izuna Gongen without that much trouble... I've perfected everything up to that card in PCB Extra at least 7 or 8 times now.
EDIT: Also, I'm more-often-than-not failing at Charming Siege. Is there something I'm missing here or is this basically partially luckshit?

Marvelous work ZUN... at least i'm not the only one being fucked over by that card.
-
Wallshit. It's way too tight and sometimes impossible.
My history on that is 100% for when I manage to mostly stand still for the first 5 seconds or so and 0% for when it makes me move more than two hitboxes to one side early. Fuckin' ripple effect or something.
By the way the latter happens much more often than the former. Of course. Marisa has a very decent chance of ending it before you get BS'ed, though.
-
Why is it easier to timeout "Subterranean Sun" (Lunatic; haven't tested for Hard for obvious reasons) as opposed to "Hell's Artificial Sun" (Normal)?
I was disappointed.

When did Gengetu get so hard? I used to be able to beat this whole stage with only 2-3 deaths, but ever since I got this new computer for some reason it's a lot harder. Her second phase in particular suddenly went from simple streaming to WTF walls.

It does that occasionally. Remember that Rank also affects things, and... when you haven't played Touhou "in a long time", you're bound to return and find things harder after all :V
That being said, I'm beginning to think I need to revise what I've learnt/ed and compile a Perfect Stage 5 SA run. First experiments ended in disaster, with the post-midboss "streaming" being the most difficult thing there.
Guess I'll be calculating everything in class before trying to attempt this again...

ever since I've entered your livestream channel
no idea how did I defeat her myself, light speed danmaku ftl.
Why is it easier to timeout "Subterranean Sun" (Lunatic; haven't tested for Hard for obvious reasons) as opposed to "Hell's Artificial Sun" (Normal)?
I was disappointed.
I'd just say that it's the same goddamn thing on all difficulties :V
The 30 second phase? It seems to have a huge reverse bullet spread on Lunatic....maybe it's less on Normal?

She died almost instantly after I continued. :/
On the bright side, I 1cc'd it on my next attempt.

I just tried recording myself playing EoSD stage 6 to see if anything cool happened that I could make into a video.
Fuck that. Any videos of EoSD beyond full runs will have to wait and see if that idea to create a patch allowing replays of individual stages ever reaches fruition.
-
Looks like mimicry isn't going to work unless I pay extra attention (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5344).
Approximate capture rate of "Catwalk": ~30% (based on reading ability and current liability of wearing a bandage)
That was probably the most aggressive run that I've done. I might consider stalling Mid-Boss Orin out a bit like Kefit too.
-
Last night I decided "Y'know what, screw scorerunning Flandre, it's just not fun anymore and it makes me too nervous at her last two cards." So I decided to try for that perfect run that Sapz did. I know it took him quite a while, so I was prepared for the long haul.
I did it on my first try.
OH BUT WAIT, THERE WAS ONE DEATH.
Where was it, you might ask? Q.E.D., one of the hardest spellcards in the series? Catadioptric, the biggest pile of bullshit in any game?
NO.

Ouch. I feel your pain... the amount of times my run failed because of something stupid like Four of a Kind. <_< Still, that proves you can definitely manage it. Keep at it!

Well... i don't even know if i'm angry or what i am. She screwed me over with her final attack, her laser and the snakes. Aside from that i died in the fire.
That was four mistakes but only one of them seems fair. Fuck i can't stand PC-98 extras. They seem to cheat more than they actually are difficult. You guys tell me to bomb more but i seemingly can't do that... in PC-98 that is. In Windows Touhoes bombing works much better for me and even allow for death-bombing.
In a Windows Touhou game i can bomb when i'm getting screwed. In PC-98, the realization of being screwed is too late for bombing because what in Windows games would have triggered death-bomb is just a hit in PC-98.
That's just how it is, the PC-98 games are old, can't blame them, should go play EoSD instead for being far superior, at least its extra boss doesn't have impossible as final attack, and it have death-bombing and split health bars and spellcards! Yay!
Yeah and Alice should grow a bit... like in PCB ... in PC-98 she's just a little brat you wanna punch in the face... many times over and over... and then jumped on, then raped, then sealed off in a dark cave with a hungry bear... and then pounded with one of those hammers Tei whack people with.
Then we should remember to tell our children to stay away from adult-only books that contain dangerous black magic that kills innocent, forgotten by alcoholic game designers, ghosts.
Fuck.
PS: Ehmm... guys. Don't take all that up there too seriously. I'm just pretty pissed right now. That's all. Have a good night.

Whatever are you saying? There is no death-bombing time!
There is for LLS and MS.
...brb calculating deathbomb window.
-
Is there now? Well the wiki states that EoSD was the first game to have it. Still, for some reason, the majority of my unplanned bombs in PC-98 fails apparently because i got hit by a bullet before i hit the bomb button. In the Windows games i pretty often manages to pull of a death-bomb or just a regular bomb whenever i feel too uncomfortable.
Unless i get clipped that is. Never see that coming. Then again, who does?
EDIT:
Oh and that picture is proof of a pretty fucking amazing accomplishment. No-deaths is it? Even if all the "possible" attacks are done perfectly, it would still require a great deal of epic playing to manage laser-spam and worst final attack ever. I'd wish you had recorded that... 8)
-
I haven't 1cc'd anything new since I 1cc'd MoF Hard 34 days ago =(
Why do I suck so much at bombing =(
If only I didn't die so much with bombs in stock all the time I swear I'd have 1cc'd EoSD, PCB, IN and SA Hard...x_x
-
Well the wiki states that EoSD was the first game to have it.
/me checks
...uhh the Wiki is definitely spouting false information. I'm going to consider revising it.
There's an easy way to check if deathbombing exists. Run yourself straight into the bullets while trying to move through the bullet. At approximately the same time, bomb (predict when you're going to get hit). If you timed it right, you'll see your character stop (registered being hit by a bullet), your bomb will activate within the "window" and you should have pulled off a deathbomb. Your character will now keep moving.
Deathbomb windows are kind of hard for me to calculate precisely due to the emulator continually hovering at 56-58 FPS (doesn't count as slowdown either; most of my playthroughs register at ~0.20% slowdown), but I estimate:
LLS: .116 or .133 seconds
MS: .133 or .150 seconds

I did record it. But, the video was quite glitched. Bullets phasing in and out. I could pull it off again quite easily though... however in the event that I do, don't expect me to upload it any time soon.
-
I'm gonna go check that out.
And you are saying that you could easily pull that off again? What are you? Some kind of monster?
-
Whatever are you saying? There is no death-bombing time!
I thought this until yesterday, when I hit a bullet, slammed X, and actually visibly noticed Mima standing still between the death and the bomb's activation.
tl;dr: There's lots of deathbomb time, but the lack of a noise accompanying a hit masks it.
-

The next-to-last attack is leagues harder than both attacks you mentioned, even if purple laser spam suffers from OHSHITMOVINGBACKGROUND. Also:
best final attack ever
Fixed. :V

With EoSD Extra, the biggest obstacle to a perfect was Q.E.D.; PCB, it was Izuna Gongen. IN's fail point looks like it's going to be Mokou's last non-card. How anticlimatic. <_< Come to think of it... I have never beaten that attack withou dying or bombing, I think. Damn it's tough. Any tips, or is it just pure dodging?
-
bleh, now I experience the RAGE that you perfect EX players do.
Random Nue run. Captured EVERYTHING. Rainbow UFO. Undefined Darkness. Her survival. Kogasa. Just not Yorimasa Genzanmi.
YAY RANDOM SHITWALL ATTEMPT RUINED OLOLOL
Actually, this would be a nearly perfect Nue fight. Bombed once her final bubble nonspell.
-

I just went to see if i can activate such and i guess i managed to do it once or twice. I don't know if i did any more or less than that though because its almost impossible to see if its a deathbomb or just you managing to bomb before getting hit.
Still, even if the feature is present, its pretty useless compared to the windows games in which the deathbombing is much more reliable. At least to me. And the bombs actually do damage in that game... ooooohh i could write a book about how much superior EoSD is to PC-98 games.
But enough is enough. I have done LLS and MS on Hard as well as their extras. That's all i need to do, that's all i want to do. I'm not saying the games are bad though. That's at least not my intention to say. They are decent games alright, they just don't hold a candle to ZUN's masterpieces of EoSD, PCB, IN, MoF or SA.
In my opinion, they range below UFO as decent games but with some pretty huge, sometimes gamekilling, flaws.
Other than that, i've really got nothing more to say. Deathbombing is there but its pretty unreliable and there isn't even a sound to indicate it. And considering how horrible a lot of hitboxes in LLS and MS, imo, are i would never be able to properly test its reliability.
EDIT: Okay. Just took a look at EoSD's deathbombing. While i certainly was able to pull it off much easier in that game, i'm still not 100% consistent about it even when concentrating about doing so. Still, it might be because i'm a little tired. I dunno. Its getting late.

No real trick to it, it's pure skill. When you think about it, that midspell is pretty similar to Q.E.D. :V
And for me, the biggest obstacle for perfect EoSD runs is quickly turning into random clipdeath in the last three seconds of And Then There Will Be None?. ):
I'm actually having more difficulty with the stage portion than Flandre herself...I've been scorerunning that stage for months, which largely involves bombing some of the hardest parts of the stage, most notably the pellet-spam at the end. :V Flandre herself isn't really too bad, I'm even capturing Catadioptric every time I try, something I never thought I'd be able to do.
-
I seem to have hit a brick wall in StB... I've done everything on the first five stages except 5-1 and 5-5, but on stage 6 I only managed 6-3, 6-4, and 6-5, and I haven't managed to do ANYTHING on stages 7 or 8 >.< Gaah...
-
I decided to try a "skill-based" HRtP lunatic run, i.e one that doesn't bomb for score to hoard lives. It was going pretty well, I reached Mima with 5 lives, I even dodged her scatter needle attack for the first time ever. So I go in, defeat her with only ONE death and...
The game freezes. It's a good thing this is the only game where this happens in a full run...
-
Post-Boss Stage 5 SA is ruining my Perfect Runs. So is everything else really, when there's luck involved in some of the attacks. But the Post-Boss more than anything else.
It was going pretty well, I reached Mima with 5 lives, I even dodged her scatter needle attack for the first time ever.
Are you referring to the attack where she throws a whole load of knives / needles starting from the right side and ends at her left? If so, that attack is static
.

Ahahaha no :V
Flandre is trivial at this point, my biggest obstacles are the death fairy right before Patchouli and the pellet-spam at the end.

I am so sad right now.
Game overed on Yuka's final phase. 11 deaths, 28 bombs. The three lost bombs? One to Marisa...two to Yuka's first phase.
I am so...very...sad...

Trying to beat my own UFO Extra highscore with ReimuA(263m)
I can beat the stage without red UFOs just fine, but I just CAN'T beat my own score, even though I haven't used any blue ones on that one.....
And one VERY rage inducing thing. Posting it soon :V
-
Hint: Don't try to avoid bombspamming Yuka's First Phase (I assume this is Stage 6). It's really, really difficult to navigate.
It was the red and blue one that killed me - twice - because I used my first bomb on each life for the first two parts of the phase. I can do a lot of Stage 6 Yuka (perfect Galaxy in a Pot-esque phase, which is super-easy, and Double Spark, which is not), but not her first and not at ALL her last.
-
2-4 bombs is enough for the First Phase. Really, I used 2 with Marisa for most of my 1cc's (yes, I have several oddly enough) and 3 with Reimu.
SA S5 Lunatic, 1DNB. I really, really hate the Post-Mid-Boss crap.

I would pay money to see a video of her final attack beaten on lunatic without bombing or dying. The fact that PC-98 emulators have save states makes this realistic. Maybe I'll try it when I'm not too lazy to actually get there~
-

buh?
If they had savestates, I would've made one already just to give to Kefit to time out "GRT".

Does not compute. If Anex86 had savestates I'd have already made myself rudimentary stage practice savestates.
-
In T98-Next, you know how you hit F12-F10 in order to go into fullscreen?
Well, do F11-F# to save a state to whichever number. Then use F12-F# to load it.
I've never actually used it since it feels like cheating, which would make me go emo-cutter. TASing in Stage Practice with it seems non-evil enough though, so I should do that. I dunno if Anex has save states.
Also, there is a Save tab in the main window. You can use that to save/load the 8 spots as well.
Now I feel incredibly happy that I did something significant that few others else seem to have done~ Never that I'd accomplish that.
-
Actually, Neo's right. I just tested them and they work.
Cut: Ohey
-
...Good lord, it works.

>_>
<_<
Not going to use it except for theorizing patterns / timeout challenges or whatnot.
-
There is one problem I can see:
T98 Next.
:|
Still, this may be useful for learning patterns. In particular Yuka's first phase and stage 5 Yuka's final phase.
-
You're all a bunch of cheaters. Every last one of you. I have no faith in any of your accomplishments from this day forth, do you hear me? NONE!

Not wanting to replay the whole game just for one shot at an attack that learning how to dodge may improve your performance significantly (YUKA'S FIRST PHAAAAAASE. THREE BOMBS TO KILL WITH REIMU AAAAAAAAAA) is cheating? ??? IMO it's not cheating unless you savestate scum to 1cc the game.
-
Okay, what happens if I made a state at one of Alice's attacks for practicing later? (I'm looking at YOU, cheeto lasers!) Am I a cheater? D:
-
(YUKA'S FIRST PHAAAAAASE. THREE BOMBS TO KILL WITH REIMU AAAAAAAAAA)
Uh, I've already found out that the Yellow Rings of Death is pseudo-static. I've also calculated all the openings for it, months ago.
Still, it'll make all accomplishments from now on seem like they were cheated for. Hence! My PoDD Lunatic 1cc (if it ever comes) will be in video format.
Okay, what happens if I made a state at one of Alice's attacks for practicing later? (I'm looking at YOU, cheeto lasers!) Am I a cheater? D:

FFFFFFFFFFFF
I demand a video. Or an explanation. One or the another. NOW. I've dodged that attack all of once ever.
And hey, me using Anex86 just makes me all the more legitimate now, doesn't it? :V
-
Okay, what happens if I made a state at one of Alice's attacks for practicing later? (I'm looking at YOU, cheeto lasers!) Am I a cheater? D:
Funny you should mention those. They just killed me three times. I just lost SEVEN GODDAMN BOMBS on those.
I'm bombspamming the hell out of that phase, screw it. But I'm not cheating!
-
I'm not saying that I did. It was a hypothetical situation. :x I can usually clear that phase with about 2 bombs, it's not that bad, just awkward.
However, THE ICE MIRROR PHASE OF BULLSHIT is another story. Oh and the unpredictable purple lasers.
-
Nue
what
the hell
Going for a no deaths.
Died on her FIRST NONCARD. Cool. Let's continue. Bombed Blue UFO 2 times. I swear, this is the hardest UFO card she has.
Bubble death. Got walled.
Rainbow UFO captured.
Had to bomb Grudge Bow second phase because it was too dense.
And then died without bombs just as she died.
If I wouldn't clip the nonspells and Blue UFO was a bit nicer, I would pull it off easily....but no, Blue UFO has to be bullshit all the time.
-
Gah. Extra midboss Sanae turns into an absolute rape machine when you try to beat her no focus, especially Miracle Fruit. Then again... so does Koishi. I failed Danmaku Paranoia for the first time ever today. :V
EDIT: I've come to the conclusion that the most difficult cards in the stage will be Release of the Id and Superego. Damned random gaps and strange hitboxes... argh.

No matter what I do, I can never capture Possessed by Phoenix. Even using the circle strategy, the second phase almost always kills me. Also, I hate Phoenix's Tail. It hurts my eyes.
-
FUCK DAMNIT WHAT THE HELL
I was SO CLOSE to that clear. No deaths on the stage... one very stupid death to Danmaku Paranoia (first time I've ever been killed by the purple bullets). Two deaths to Release of the Id... thankfully Superego went down with only a single bomb. Capped Youkai Polygraph, died while TRYING TO BOMB on Rorschach (I swear it's not registering a bomb input if I hold down + left/right + shoot and then press bomb...). I then capped Embers of Love and managed a one-bomb timeout of Genetics (it moves a lot more slowly than I remember...). I then clear the first two phases of Philosophy without a problem, only to die stupidly due to panicking on the last phase. Finally, I got murdered by the second phase of Subterranean Rose... that just flew at me way too fast for me to make accurate unfocused movements.
Oh well, I guess. My no focus clear can't be too far off, at any rate...

-
What about timing out Subterranean Rose? :V
Ehh... it's a good idea and it'd make things easier. Thing is, though, the point of no focus is to make things harder. :P Timing it out would just feel like a bit of a cop-out - it's supposed to be an impressive and difficult run so I don't want to be cutting corners like that.
-
0% chance of capturing Uncontainable Nuclear Reaction on this computer because of wild framerate variation depending on how many suns are onscreen.
Also, Subterranean Sun. I hate this card. Hate hate hate.
HATE
-
Gah. I was sick of failing against Possessed by Phoenix so I tried PCB Phantasm. I was doing better than I had ever done in Phantasm before until I got to Boundary of Humans and Youkai, where I did horrible and died. Why do I suck at survival cards?
-
Game over at Yuka's final LOLWALLS. If I could stop bombing Kurumi twice, dying with bombs in stock to Marisa regularly and always entering stage 6 at 0/2 it would be wonderful.
Also, dying with one bomb in stock by ramming a stray bullet during stage 4 while trying to catch a bomb drop I noticed too late, which I had pretty much zero chance of catching with Reimu's speed from my position anyway = :V
THIS IS UNPRECEDENT SERIOUS EDIT:
PoDD lunatic, story mode. Playing as Reimu.
Got past stage 7 for the fist time.
No lives left because Mima is a bitch, twice as much when you meet her in stage 7. Three lives lost there.
Beat Chiyuri first try despite her opening a can of whoopass on me during the final seconds, bringing me from full health to almost dead without a chance to react.
Got Yumemi down to half a heart.
HALF A HEART
D:
...something tells me that I won't get a chance this good that soon.
-
You know how many times I've had Yumemi down to half a heart, and only to lose because they would hold out for 6 minutes+?
This is the main reason why I'm so hesitant about doing PoDD Lunatic.
...might as well give it a shot.
-
My 1cc had the oddest thing: It actually happened after I made an appropriate dodge of something I was certain would kill me and happened while I just barely managed to activate hyper mode. Keep going~ And don't be surprised if Chiyuri completely destroys you from now on; her boss attack is hate incarnate.
-
The UFO system.
What is this I don't even.
Also OHGOD BROHOUFIST :o
Forget this guys I'mma going to try my hand at the PC-98 games.

Hate incarnate is an understatement, the "few seconds" I mentioned were the single boss attack I couldn't bomb/counter/kill in time. This is why I'm so pissed, I know that at my current level I can't do shit against it so getting past Chiyuri was certainly a major fluke.
Also, I still have no idea what I need to do to activate hyper mode, and the wiki didn't help much. In fact I have never seen it activate for me.
-
Does "general Touhou meltdown" count as rage? I think my rage has just faded into an unenthusiastic bleh. Died to Rumia's demarcation. Not the big spam of bullets for grazing. No, one of the little red things languidly glided into me. Cirno's Icicle Fall. Yellow orbs. Died there more than I care to count today. Random fairy deaths on stage 2 and 3. Patchouli's spells actually killing me. Dying to Hong Meiling...
I used to be able to get to stage five with at least 3-4 lives in tow at on my off days. Not just getting past stage four seems like a monumental undertaking.
-
Hyper mode can be activated once you use up your two bombs and when you have a full charge gauge. Once these requirements are met, just pressing bomb will activate it. While it's going on you're invincible and can activate some major spam on the opponent's side. There is no limit to how often you can do this. Since this rarely affects the AI though, treat it more as you would a bomb and make sure you make the most of it.
-

whoa
WHOA
This changes everything. Just stormed through stages 1-7 as if they weren't there despite the AI insisting on staying around for far longer than in the previous run.
Chiyuri wiped the floor with me, though, despite an epic first attempt. :V
Lots of fun, though, once you REALLY know what you are doing.
edit: just got to Yumemi with two lives in stock, proceeded to use all continues and still didn't beat her. :V
Also, using HYPER mode against Yumemi usually results in so much crap being destroyed on both sides that it causes a boss summon tug of war which always ends with another boss on your face.... maybe I should just use it as a bomb and stop shooting? I'm still not sure how auto-summons work, Yumemi seems to get a lot more of these than Chiyuri or anyone else.
Another problem I'm having with Yumemi is that some of her non-boss specials are threatening once they start piling up, unlike Chiyuri's - who's quite beatable if you manage your resources well to keep her boss attack out of the picture for long enough (much easier said than done, of course). Also, that does involve keeping an eye on her side of the screen, though, which sometimes leads to eating a stray bullet. :V
-
Well, today is clearly an off day. I did a runthrough of all the stages in MoF, and bombed (as in failed) them all miserably. The only thing of note I did was capture Momizi at one point.
-
Oh God...
I don't know about anyone else but Yukari's SWR card, Photon "Doppler Effect", Just Likes to rape me, and rape every chance I have at Beating Remilia's Story Mode on any Difficulty other than easy, which pisses me off so much >:( (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E29iOPSxF94)

Fuck. You.

I finally perfected Stage 4 of UFO (at least in Easy), but now I'm senselessly losing lives to Murasa where I shouldn't be, since I had her fight perfected a while ago. And Stage 5 remains a life sink, with Shou being almost insurmountable...
-
Oh God...
I don't know about anyone else but Yukari's SWR card, Photon "Doppler Effect", Just Likes to rape me, and rape every chance I have at Beating Remilia's Story Mode on any Difficulty other than easy, which pisses me off so much >:(
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E29iOPSxF94)
Oh, I know what you mean. Yukari is mean in SWR ._. Even on Easy mode, she has cards that completely slaughter me... Yukari is the true final boss of SWR. Screw Tenshi, she's a pushover compared to Yukari...
-

Oh fucking christ. Now I remember my SWR Lunatic run. I chose Reimu, because as horrible as Iku's final is on story mode (seriously THAT SHIT HAS TO BE ILLEGAL FUCK YOU IKU) it's not as hard as every one of Yukari's story mode spellcards ever. That, and I was still bitter from Infinite Superspeed Flying Object and didn't want to see Yukari ever again.
Add to that that Yukari appears as a boss for the worst character in SWR: Reisen. (Yes, even if you are good with her alt skills, you're still fighting from a disadvantage as Reisen.) Remilia is better (and funnier), but Yukari is still incredibly brutal, and she also has nine story mode stages to go through. But yeah, SWR Yukari is a horrific bitch, gameplay-wise (and dialogue-wise, but that's not relevant here).

Infinite Superspeed Flying Object
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF----
EDIT: Well that was complete crap.
Marisa insta-killed me with three bombs in stock. Then Mima does it. Twice.
I needed one more bomb to 1cc SoEW Hard. One.
-
That's twice (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5422).
And PoDD is not possible for me currently with Kana. Might swap to a person who can use "large" bullets to finish off the AI in half the time.
Clearly, my ability to read danmaku is inadequate at this point.

why 1cc SoEW don't unlock the extra stage ?

Let's play on easy then, normal is too cheating on me...(Well I have beaten normal with ReimuB)
-
Trust me, you do NOT want to play SoEW extra. It's the most broken piece of trash in existence.
-
But he SHOULD play SoEW as ReimuC. Reimu has a cute widdle yin-yang kitty in her ending.
A ONE-TAILED CAT IS FINE TOO!
And from there, just one more try with ReimuA. Might as well. (I've only ever 1cc'd SoEW with ReimuC, actually...)
-
Radiant Treasure Gun. Enough said.
-
Lunatic Mystical Chain is fucking impossible. I do well up through the first three chapters, go through 4 with very minimal problems, lose my first and only continue at the Scarlets, and fucking die on 5-2 without killing a single god damned enemy because of 3/4th health draining THUNDER SPAM.
I breezed through this on Hard, how did it make such a big god damn jump?
-
Actually, they nerfed the Thunderfluffs for 1.11
Oh, and also 1.12 is out. As in, right now.
-

...WHAT?!

Mercy on all those who dealt with them then. They are bad enough now!
-
Stupid deaths are stupid (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5443). I started to have a massive panic attack after losing that last spare life, hence the extremely crappy play from that point on.
I can't even 1cc UFO Normal what is wrong with me ;_____;
-
Just died three times to Shiki and failed my PoFV Extra run. Bah.
Still... this isn't that hard. Should have a clear pretty soon.
EDIT: Just died at Cirno. <_< The most annoying thing is that most of my deaths come from singing along with the Dream Theater I have on instead of the BGM running into spirits while focused, expecting them to stop moving beforehand.
-

This is why Shikieiki is funner to do it with. Plus, you fight Reimu as the final boss instead (Although she's still nearly hard as Shiki to beat, but less AUGH BS WALL)
And you will have to beat it with Shiki after Komachi if you want to unlock all characters to use in Story, Extra, and Match Mode. You might not care about that though~
As for my rage, PoDD ON HARD, WHY WON'T YOU JUST DIE YUMEMI AUUUUGH, LAST GAME TILL ALL PC-98 1cced ON HARD (Except HRtP)

Phantasmagoria of Random Bullshit
I don't get this game
does the AI decrease every time I lose?
Seriously, one time I dodge gigantic shitstorms against Komachi for 2 minutes straight and she just doesn't get hit, then in the next match she pretty much loses it in the beginning.

Still, the difficulty shouldn't go from "Hey there Baity" to "Hold shift to focus"
Its incredibly random... sometimes I'll lose 3 lives against Hard Mode Shiki, lasting up to six freaking minutes per round, and then use a continue to get revenge. This sets the win/loss meter thing back to 0, and THIS TIME she dies in less then 1 minute. What.
PoFV is so inconsistent, its not even funny.
-
1cc'd Normal finally. However, she just wouldn't die. The AI cheats so much it isn't funny.
Shiki got a perfect on me in the first round since she had uber dodging skills and shat constant rapewalls at me.
Then in the next round, she just wouldn't lose her final life and I had to dodge some definitely-not-Normal-mode danmaku before she finally lost it.
1cc, where is my extra
To unlock Extra Mode, you must have seen all the endings from 1 to 12.
WHAT
ARE YOU SHITTING ME
THIS ISN'T FUNNY

1cc, where is my extra

Eh, just do the rest on Easy. Or I suppose I could put up my score.dat which has Extra unlocked but not cleared (because I suck~) if you want - I totally understand if not though because I purposely sought out fresh installs so I could unlock things myself. That one's just kind of a pain.
-
WHAT

Protip: You don't have to 1cc to do the requirements to see extra.
-
One thing I hate in games is "do it with everyone to unlock it olol"
Fun fact: I've 1cc'd IN Hard and captured all Extra cards before unlocking the solo girls.
-
What's wrong with me today? Every time I try to play, I end up with a bullet in my face on the first stage.
-
OMG FUFUFUFUFUUFUFUFUFUUFUFFUUU
I had a crappy run of EoSD MarisaA normal trying to unlock Extra mode for her, but I got to Remi with like 0/4. I get to Red Magic with 0/3, and what happens? My right arrow key gets stuck in the game and Marisa shoots over to the right side of the map. I couldn't get it fixed, so I tried to time out the card instead, only to be met with a purple bullet out of the walls. LAMEEEE

Trying a Kana Anaberal 1cc in PoDD lunatic.
Kana's cutout BLOCKS YOUR OWN VIEW COMPLETELY
Also, her speed being JUST A TINY BITY SLOWER than Reimu's is leading to many stupid avoidable collisions while squeezing through everyone's lvl2 and 3s without looking.
And is the recording giving me slowdown or is Kana's charge speed also slightly slower than Reimu's despite the game giving both five stars?

ZUNstars should never be trusted. Half the time they aren't even close to being accurate in PoFV.

Well, for PoFV I use this (http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Phantasmagoria_of_Flower_View:_Frame_Data) anyway. :V
-
I made it all the way to Suika without continuing in IaMP hard (using Yukari). :( Then I completely fucked everything up.
-
That actually makes me want to play PoFV now...
So wait a sec, how DO you see 12 endings?
On the other hand... 2 UFO failed 1cc runs, everything that can go wrong went wrong, including, but not limited to:
- Died as bullets dissolve before Murasa's first card.
- Crashed into a bullet in Stage 6.
- Accidently tapped bomb in the beginning of Sinker Ghost
- Desu Kogasa makes me waste a bomb both times on parasol star.
- Clip Death in Purple Mist
- Died right at the time LAST enemy yin-yang orb spawned in the END of Stage 5.
- Too many UFOs changed color as I am about to get them.
- Died 2 times to Shou leaving me with 1.00 Power.
FUCK THE UFO POWER SYSTEM.
-
So wait a sec, how DO you see 12 endings?
Each character has their own ending. As you see more endings, you unlock more characters. The wiki can tell you the details (http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Phantasmagoria_of_Flower_View:_Miscellaneous).
-
Sigh I was playing so brilliantly, more or less flawlessly. Then I went to dinner. Then I came back and played like shit. For some reason, Youmu seemed about 20x more difficult after going to dinner. I couldn't redirect her attack, I died about 50 million times on her time slowing ones... W T F
-
Lost 5 lives to Orin :(
-
I lost 2 lives to spleen eater and still 1cc the game if it makes you feel any better. :V
That being said, I almost 1cced PoFV with Cirno, all the way up to Shiki in a blind run, if I actually knew how Yuka worked I wouldn't have that silly death that cost me a life.
Goes to show you how strong she actually is, PAD and Sex appeal rabbit can go take a hike.
-
Well, it's official: Pandemonium is so hard I can't beat stage 7 in practice mode because of it. :( Also it seems I'm using Yukari to do this by default. I have two requirements for a character I use in IaMP:
Doesn't fight Remilia
Doesn't fight Yukari
Yukari doesn't fight Yukari, oddly enough, and she fights Remilia on stage 1, which gives minimal heartbreak upon defeat. Now if only I could learn how to effectively use her...

Yukari's not so bad, but Remilia is absolute hell if you don't fight her ASAP. I've got a lunatic 1cc with Patchouli uploaded on YouTube if you care to take a look at it (Patch doesn't fight Remi, by the way).

... Fifty-nine bombs. This was all thanks to parents. Pricks pulled an Unplug Sign on my comp which effectively eliminated all my hard work up to Youmu's last spell, and my almost perfect first run (had to retry from the beginning, and TWO Lunatic runs in a row is NOT fun).

Why can I not beat stage 3 UFO Hard yet!?
Stage 1 I can perfect
Stage 2 I can one-bomb, maybe two [One for survival during stage, one for Water-Repelling Bone Dry Monster. Fuck trying to cap that thing on Hard/Lunatic, it's worse than the Train, which I can do a lot, actually]
Stage 3 is just FISTS TO THE FACE EVERY FUCKING TIME
I... I really, really should be able to do this. Hell, I should be able to beat UFO Hard by now.
-
Bah. Failed my MS Lunatic 1cc at Devil's Recitation, as usual. If only I hadn't died twice on the stage section of Stage 4... I always, ALWAYS forget about the enemies that fly upwards from the left/right edges of the screen without warning. Also I, er, died at the pre-Yumeko bullet spam. <_<

PCB just kills me. Youmu and Yuyu are ridiculously hard for me :(. Only Orin from SA is as ridiculously hard for me as those two.
-
Yet another MS Lunatic failure... Stage 5 is so frustrating. The only really difficult parts in the whole stage are pretty much Yumeko's streaming arrows/lasers, but those by themselves usually take two lives at least. Same thing for Shinki's cheeto lasers and Devil's Recitation.
-
PCB just kills me. Youmu and Yuyu are ridiculously hard for me :(. Only Orin from SA is as ridiculously hard for me as those two.
This. Youmu's first and final cards have 0% capture rates for me on Normal and above... Repository of Hirokawa is the only PCB card I've never captured on Easy as well...
-
I repeat: I don't see how cheeto lasers are such a run breaker. They USED to give me as much trouble as anyone else, but during my original lunatic grind (which oh wow now that I think about it was 11 months ago where has the time gone) I took a failed run and just spent some time timing it out and have had little trouble with them ever since. It's all a matter of misdirecting them. Devil's Recitation is more tense than anything, but remember that the purple bullets Shinki fires are kind of like prototypical bubble bullets in that they have a smaller hitbox than they appear to have.
-
Arghhh
EoSD Hard: Game over at Scarlet Shoot
PCB Hard: Game over at that really easy Yuyuko non card where you just need to stream left and right
Youmu is up there with Orin at hardest 5th stage boss...
I can't capture any of their cards, but AT LEAST Orin only requires one bomb per card, where Youmu sometimes takes two and even three bombs to clear some cards...

http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt263/BaitySM/th013.png
Definitely worse than MS Stage 4, which looks ok. If you have trouble seeing the bullets, something is clearly wrong with your eyes, because I can see them perfectly fine.

Also, I have reached Suika on IaMP hard (Yukari's 6b breaks the AI's charging pattern :D) with only one death on Yuyuko's BS second spell card. Posting this prematurely because I KNOW I'm going to lose it all on either Supermassive Conflageration or Pandemonium.

First off, tHRtP is one of the worst games in the universe. It really is. I don't care. It is, in fact, that bad.
Second: MS Lunatic REALLY needs to let me bomb before we can get anywhere. Also, WOW. Even with bombing, I probably wouldn't have made it to Yumeko, though it was a cruddy run. That said, lost my last continue on OHGODTHEREARETHREEOFTHEM cheeto lasers...those are going to take some learnin'.
Oh yeah. 17 deaths, 23 bombs.
BOMBING WOULD BE NICE

I have a new challenge for myself! Beat UFO extra with all shot types! I've beaten it with Reimu A, Marisa A, and Sanae B before, and I've tried with Sanae A. Is it just me, or does Sanae's hitbox...gravitate towards bullets? Also no amount of hard data will convince me her focus speed is the same as Reimu's, it simply feels faster. The farthest I can with reach with sucky Sanae A (seriously you guys thought this was the shot type to use in the demo WTF) is Rainbow UFOs.

Pfft, get used to it. For starters, Sanae's hitbox is positioned slightly differently in regards to the actual character sprite. The specifics of that I'm not going to get to. The second thing you need to remember is that Reimu has a smaller hitbox. All this "bullet gravitation towards the bullets" nonsense is either stemming from you suffering from "Reimu Hax" Syndrome or just the awkward positioning of the hitbox as I've said in the first point.

There's a reason why I always use the character with the smallest hitbox. :P Another shot type would have to REALLY have something good to offer to convince me to take the larger hitbox.

Shiki on all difficulties loves to dodgehax while throwing stuff that makes you wish you could dodgehax as well. Same with Komachi/Yuka and Aya/Medicine to a lesser extent. Then somewhat for whoever's on stage 6, though much less so than the later enemies.

please elaborate, and you'll get 40 virgins when you go to heaven

Fraps will record on the emulator, but only T98 Next and only when not full screen. Frankly I want to know how you're getting Hypercam to work whilst recording sound. D: For some reason it will never record sound with me. If you could teach me how to do THAT you will get 100 virgins.
-
It's kind of hard when your screen is filled with crap already :V
And her boss attack takes a bloody long time.
It's true that you can get walled unexpectedly by random bullets, but blue bullets are somewhat aimed at your position, so all you really need to watch for are the pink ones so long as you aren't just micrododging everything.
There's a trick to each of her boss patterns too, but I don't remember what they are off the top of my head, since I haven't played PoFV (or an Aya user) in forever. In general though, boss attacks are easily destroyed by level 1 bombspam, especially for characters like Yuka, Reisen, and Marisa, so if you haven't been using those, you might want to start.
And if all else fails, the game allows you to abuse level 2 bombs for a reason :V
-
Fucking Shikieki arghhh why do you suddenly become insanely good at dodging at half a yin-yang orb?! I swear, she got down to half an orb by 30-60 seconds into that match while I was still at full health and then just kept going for another two minutes until I eventually died. >_<
Also, Wind God Girl doesn't even sound like music to me anymore. All I can hear is STREAMING.
-
Hypercam + sound
There's a "record sound" button on TWO screens, I don't know what could possibly be happening. My version is 2.14.04.
If the problem is just that it will auto-stop with sound, though:
-disable everything you can in the background
-set screen resolution and color depth to as low as possible
-set audio quality to something very low, I used 8 bit/11025 sample rate
-set fps and frame compression rate to as low as you think it's tolerable
-try a bunch of times because sometimes it auto cancels just to spite you, restarting the emulator helps here
-if after three or four tries it still doesn't work, lower fps/compression rate even more, I ended up capturing that PoDD run at something like 15fps/65% compression rate.
Trying to record with HyperCam without sound gives me trouble. It just captures frames at the specified compression rate as fast as it can and puts them together in the video at the rate you told it to, without actually getting close to capturing them at the correct rate.
-
See, I've checked both of those "record sound" buttons and it doesn't work. You have a different version than me though.
Anyway, just managed to record a Makai route lunatic 1cc, but it's certainly not much in the way of good looking...
-
Unmute Audio Input. You should be able to configure that from "Sounds and Audio Devices" or something like that via Control Panel.
-
Except there is no such option in the control panel. :(

Well, here's hoping that my brother jumps online via MSN. Until then, I have to wait.

Fuck, just went back to XP. I do remember that Vista Ultimate had individual Volume handling for different programs, through Volume Control.
-
I just played HRtP for the first time and I find it in no way fun at all.
-
I use Vista :O. If you right click the little speaker icon in the lower right hand corner, then click "Recording Devices", you'll find a menu of your devices. You should see something like Stereo Mix or something like that. If you don't see it, right click and check, "Show disabled devices". If you STILL don't see it, chances are you have a crappy SigmaTel sound card that doesn't support Stereo Mix for whatever reason.
If you still have issues, specify them and I'll help you best I can :X.
On another note, Youmu stole an entire run from me today.... And I swear that if the time slowing thing didn't happen, I'd have a higher success rate on her cards =_=. Half of my deaths are running into bullets because I didn't know the time slowing was going to end right then :(

I use Vista :O. If you right click the little speaker icon in the lower right hand corner, then click "Recording Devices", you'll find a menu of your devices. You should see something like Stereo Mix or something like that. If you don't see it, right click and check, "Show disabled devices". If you STILL don't see it, chances are you have a crappy SigmaTel sound card that doesn't support Stereo Mix for whatever reason.
If you still have issues, specify them and I'll help you best I can :X.
On another note, Youmu stole an entire run from me today.... And I swear that if the time slowing thing didn't happen, I'd have a higher success rate on her cards =_=. Half of my deaths are running into bullets because I didn't know the time slowing was going to end right then :(
Congrats, you fixed it. Stereomix was disabled.

Speaking of PC-98 and audio, I just noticed I *could* have avoided the video/audio desynch I got on the PoDD videos by, y'know, using VirtualDub correctly. Considering whether to fix it and re-upload everything, though I'll probably just record another run with better quality anyway.
On-topic: playing as Reimu, died twice to Ellen. I suddenly unlearned how to dodge her boss-generated EX spam. Then I thought, "the AI could get in trouble with these" and went on to get crushed on stage 2 with her because her charge speed is SLOOOOOOOW
And then I picked Mima for a change and failed horribly again because anything below Reimu's lightspeed charge throws my lvl1 spam rhythm off :V

To be honest, I'm not crazy about the sound quality I'm getting from Hypercam, but the real pressing issue is how all the colors are reversed. D: Any idea how to solve this?

I only got reversed colors when once, when I tried to record fullscreen. If you're already recording windowed I can't help you there.

WHAT THE FUCK IS SO TABOO ABOUT RECORDING FULL-SCREEN?! I MEAN SHIT, IT'S THE WAY I PLAY, WHY DOES EVERY RECORDING SOFTWARE HAVE TO HATE IT?!
-
Actually, the colors are inverted for everything, not just Anex86. A simple video of my desktop turns the blues of it orange. ??? I know this isn't really on topic, but if I'm to record PC-98 I really want to figure this out.

If you're recording off of Anex86, try checking Full Color under the Window tab (I believe that's what it was). Even fullscreen screenshots were inverted for me until I did that.
-
Dude...I unchecked full color just to see what happened, and suddenly the playback recording was like HRtP ON ACID. :O
In other words, nope. I think considering even a video of my desktop has messed up colors it's a problem with the Hypercam settings.

...I think I perfected the first five stages of MoF Easy. Not quite sure, and I forgot to save the replay but...
Anyway, here was a recent run of stage 6:
Perfect until Miracle of Otensui.
Die once to Miracle of Otensui.
Get Virtue of Wall God down to 1/8 health.
Proceed to be trapped TWICE, having to bomb two times.
Gah... I'm trying to capture all Easy mode cards in the series, but these two are seriously in the way...
-
Die once to Miracle of Otensui.
Get Virtue of Wall God down to 1/8 health.
Proceed to be trapped TWICE, having to bomb two times.
Miracle of Otensui/Source of Rains is a stupid card made of hate no matter the difficulty.
Mountain of Faith (easy) is famously harder than Mountain of Faith (normal). I've never seen it, though, considering I started playing MoF by unashamedly bombspamming my way through normal mode. :V
So, yeah, good luck on Otensui, and try reading the amulets while they're still inside the "flowers" on Walls of Faith.
-
LOL
The problem was the media player I was using. It's great for watching MP4 files and superplays, but apparently it inverts the colors when Hypercam is used. Windows Media Player runs it fine.
Now there remains only one problem before I am finally set to record myself playing PC-98: When I record with Hypercam, the video doesn't fill the whole screen, but seems to occupy only a small corner of the media player. Is this supposed to happen or do I have something wrong?
-
Reset the Recording Region?
-
SHOU IS COMPLETE BS.
I COULD CAPTURE LAZORS ON HARD, ON MY FIRST TRY, BUT NOT HER RADIANT TREASURE GUN.
THE NON-SPELL AFTER THAT IS RIDICULOUS TOO.
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.
-
nintendonut: Probably a codec error. Just use VLC or ffdshow. And set your recording area to 640x480 in the top left corner. That's the native resolution for all full screen Touhou games.
If you still can't get it to work, try Camtasia instead.

And with this, Hypercam and Anex86 full screen are ready for recording! Thank you all for your patience! :D
BTW, the media player that messed up the colors WAS VLC. :P
Oh, another smaller issue: Whenever I stop the recording, Hypercam sees the need to pop its window back up and exit the recording. Is there a way to stop this? This is the LAST issue I have. I'll take it for a test recording when I get home from school today.

... Wait what ? Fraps wouldn't record from Anex86 ? O_o

*picks up jaw*
How long have you been playing this ?
-
It'd be nice if I knew the exact date though. Oh wait, I know a good reference.

1 year and 1-2 months. This is according to my PCB High Score list, which says that I've 1cc'd PCB Easy (which took me 1-2 weeks IIRC) sometime mid-September.

Ok, fine I'll perfect it. It's not that hard y'know. And watch me not misdirect Youmu's opener(s).
Man, and I was still trying to Perfect Stage 5 SA.

Ugh ... I envy you people ;_;.
I've just got brutally raped by Ichirin and Shou on Hard.
And it's been 2 months since I picked up my first Touhou game *sighs* ._.
EDIT: Hmmm... EoSD, PCB, IN cleared on Lunatic (with continues of course ...), MoF Hard, SA Normal and UFO Normal. Haven't touched any Extras yet. Actually I could capture most of Suwacko and Nue's spell cards, but with external help.
I fail ;_;

If I said I didn't 1cc any Hard until... March this year, would that make you better? That was IN Hard, Reimu Solo (for the sake of Last Words). So about 7-8 months in was my first Hard 1cc.
Though, this is interesting:
Hard Mode
2 months since I picked up my first Touhou game *sighs* ._.
1cc or not, pushing yourself higher is a great way to develop. I reckon you (and a lot of other people actually) have potential to go pretty far.

Baity, I demand that you change the topic title to Parsee RAGE Thread: Volume III
DOITNOW
-
Denied myself a Kana PoDD Lunatic 1cc due to a miscalculation.
You see what happened was a Boss Attack was sent to my screen, and I thought I had enough of the Spell Gauge filled out to send one back. It turns out I was 1 enemy short of a full Spell Gauge, so all I did was send a L3 and eat bullets after 5 minutes of hard work. That excludes the 6 or so minutes on Chiyuri, and another 20-25 on the earlier stages.
Seriously considering a High-Tier character swap now.
-
I should 1cc PoDD lunatic again one of these days. Except not because I've discovered the game is a LOT more fun if you don't aim for a 1cc.
-
You're probably right there. Aiming for a 1cc seems to induce more RAGE. I'm now going to stop for a while because Keine said so. See?
[20:09] <Baity> @choose PoDD or IN
[20:09] <@Keine> Baity: I choose...IN! ^_^V
Going to do my preparation tonight, and 1cc tomorrow afternoon after... the Physiology Practical. Which I think is another dissection :V
EDIT: Going to use the Scarlet Team for this. Because it'll improve my overall control. Now the only problem is... wait, there's a problem to begin with?
-
*whistles and points to bjw and my perfect PCB stage 5 lunatic runs*
That one-death UFO S6 Lunatic just isn't enough xD
I don't get how you got past Youmu's 1st spell card >.<
And I envy you.
Eh ? But how ? D: Was it ... fast ? o_o
If I said I didn't 1cc any Hard until... March this year, would that make you better? That was IN Hard, Reimu Solo (for the sake of Last Words). So about 7-8 months in was my first Hard 1cc.
I'm not sure ... As my first Hard 1cc was MoF, and I bombed through EVERY of Sanae and Kanako's spell cards ~.~
Though, this is interesting:1cc or not, pushing yourself higher is a great way to develop. I reckon you (and a lot of other people actually) have potential to go pretty far.
After failing UFO S6 Normal for, like, 90 times, I tried Easy again and holy crap that was SOOOOO EASY compared to my first run >_>.
Then I went to do some S6 Lunatic to see if Normal is any easier ... after 2 weeks I finally got my 1cc in.
So I guess it helps to play on higher difficulties ...
But what to do when you get to Lunatic ? There isn't anything higher than that ._.
-
But what to do when you get to Lunatic ? There isn't anything higher than that ._.
I took Baity's cue and started playing IN's spell practice at x1.5 speed, even x2 speed on rare occasions (brings my computer near to a meltdown though). It worked.

By then, you should have developed enough skill to be able to do most things (very unlikely I would imagine :V), and maybe even develop your skills through other means. Playing for perfection (http://replays.gensokyou.org/index.php?u=&g=--&p=&t=--&d=--&ch=40) is one way of "training" yourself at that point. Another is to do a full run at a lower difficulty and adding hand (http://replays.gensokyou.org/index.php?u=&g=--&p=&t=0&d=--&c=1&ch=8)icap (http://replays.gensokyou.org/index.php?u=&g=--&p=&t=0&d=--&c=1&ch=24)(s (http://replays.gensokyou.org/index.php?u=&g=--&p=&t=0&d=--&c=1&ch=16)). Or even IN Spell Practice with "extreme" handicaps (http://replays.gensokyou.org/index.php?u=&g=8&p=&t=2&d=--&ch=6). And last but not least, playing for score can teach you quite a few things.
If you get creative with this, it can turn out to be great practice.

I HATE THIS MOTHERFUCKING GAME
maybe this would be less bullshit if you could allow me to charge a lv2 instead of bombing but noooooo because THAT MOTHERFUCKING BULLET WALL HAS TO STAY ONSCREEN WHILE I HAVE A 1 SECOND INVINCIBILITY AFTER STICKING FIFTY BULLETS UP MY ASS
and as a bonus, my UFO score.dat is corrupted or something.
EDIT3: trying to unlock all Hard stages again, I die like 4 times on stage 4 while using only ONE FUCKING BOMB. And then I clip Murasa's opener. Not even the survival capture could prevent extreme rage.
-
Since I beat PoFV Lunatic yesterday I thought I might as well try and do the same for PoDD. Things seemed more difficult but manageable, and I thought I was doing pretty well. Then I get to Stage 7.
SEVEN LOSSES IN A ROW TO MIMA HELL YEAH
Ragequitted after that. Man, I can't deal with her L3 and boss summon at the same time at all, that combo is pretty nasty.
-
I love it when I run into a fairy after Alice's second midboss battle in PCB Stage 3 Hard because the spell card bonus text covered the bullets :V

Crap.
I'm not good enough to play Lunatic (LLS is like Hard), but I don't want to replay Hards that I've beaten already and I REALLY don't want to play SA or UFO, because they suck. But grinding Lunatics is not fun simply because of the ridiculous time investment it takes to get out of Stage 1 without dying, or Stage 2 without dying THREE TIMES.
Bah.

I cant FUCKING believe it
RAAAAAAAGE
GOD damn IT.
I couldve cleared EoSD extra ages ago but I just couldn't get that 1 try. and now I freaking reach Q.E.D. I spend my last bombs (why wouldn't I?) even death bombed two or three times. And I do a AWESOME dodge in the end and I hear flandre going *boomboomboom sparky sparky sparky* so I went like YEAH I CLEARED IT *DEEEEEW* WHAT?

Don't worry, this happens to almost everyone at least once when going for an EoSD Extra clear/Q.E.D. capture, myself included. You need to be prepared for Flan exploding for at least a second, and the last part of Q.E.D. is the really hard part. Keep at it. :V
-

The most rage thing is if you lose your last life so long after beating a spellcard, it still says you captured the card
That happened to me on Ran's survival once. It looks... interesting... when it happens.

Going for QED will almost inevitably result in situations like that. Happened to me twice before i managed to get it on my irrc 4th attempt.
I've heard many people talk about QED being really hard and all, and while that most certainly is true it is absolutely nothing against the evil, malicious Scarlet Gensokyo. (Ain't Flan supposed to be stronger than Remi?)
Also, is it abnormal to have your game register more QED Captures than captures of "And Then Will There Be None?"?
-
Scarlet Gensokyo? Almost got it on my second attempt, but Remi decided to wall me(which is the difficulty I think).
Meister on the other hand....
:V
-
Scarlet Gensokyo (Lunatic) can do a lot of nasty stuff. For example i have experienced a delay in the bullets spawned by the bubbles which means the bullets appears out of nowhere shortly after the bubble was past. I was standing there. Bullet spawn on hitbox. Die. That ended Kefit's no-focus run. You know the rage one.
Then there is the walling issue as well. That robbed Gil of his all-spell capture run.
Of course Meister is nasty as well but that can be bombed and killed fairly quickly. Scarlet Gensokyo can't.

I didn't really appreciate quite how hard Scarlet Meister was for a long time; I'd heard the rumours and bombed it on my Lunatic 1cc but it just seemed like another one of those 'lots of bullets' cards, like Hell God Sword or Illusionary Dominance, while Scarlet Gensokyo was where the difficulty was at. How very wrong I was. :V
Scarlet Gensokyo walls are slow and you can move out of the way if you see them coming early enough. Scarlet Meister, on the other hand, can and will wall you more often than Gensokyo, and the walls are made way more difficult both because they're insanely fast and they're clusterfuck-full of the really annoying round fat bullets with the too-big hitboxes, and on top of everything else your survival is more or less dictated by Remilia's random movement. I can capture SG around 1/3 of the time these days; my capture rate for Scarlet Meister is 1 in over 200 attempts. <_< Easily, EASILY the hardest card in EoSD.
-
Basically when a card gets that hard i wouldn't even call it hard anymore. Just bad design that can't be overcome without endless dedication to just one single card. It shouldn't be that way.
Oh... and Byakuren just gave me rage. First and final card being the primary reason. There is nothing that i hate more than getting LFS down to the red waves and then die and if you die the card becomes even more merciless.
And the first card seems pretty much impossible to me. No matter where i go, i get blocked off.

so help me if PoDD kills me again on stage 2 I'm going to put an axe through my computer
EDIT:
so I've started playing PoFV like PoDD, which means no shift button
this is not a wise move
nevertheless I made it to Komachi with two lives on Lunatic (Sakuya and Aya took one each; also, Aya is a piece of crap)
that was the worst play of PoFV ever
I hit stuff nowhere near my hitbox
I chain died all over the place
my last life had me hit the bomb button with a full gauge, followed by a clear
only the clear was me dying instead of Komachi
what
what
what
no seriously

Dammit I suck at IN. I still should be able to 1cc though.
All the practice I did last night (which was only 1 hour tops) has led to "Fantasy Seal -Blink-" being captured, but failing just about everything else.
Restarted. Turned things around a bit in Stages 1-3. But... failed "Invisible Full Moon" due to lol-clipdeath.
And messed it up again because of stupid deaths (2 of them) during Stage 6.

But.... how do you play at x1.5 and x2 speed though ? And why did it bring your COMP comp to a near meltdown ? O_o

Eh ? But how ? D: Was it ... fast ? o_o
The time itself doesn't matter, the fact that you can is what's important. Though there are still many players that are severely worse than I am, I'm still on the other side of you guys (can't clear EoSD Normal Stage 6 on Practice lolwhut). I guess it's because of lack of practice, but I can't easily find time to play Touhou anymore due to school activities and work (Like now, I need to marathon 5 drawings for a school project FFFF). Oh well, I try my best to play on weekends right before I sleep haha.
Heh. That itself is rage-worthy in its own way. :V I need to become more of a masochist.
Also rage at your well done artworks

While he's sleeping, allow me to say he was pretty anxious about doing the run itself.
My run was even more strange. I had an entire run prepared, with all the bombs planned. If there was an attack that I couldn't consistently do, I would immediately bomb it knowing that one bomb was enough.
1.5x and 2x Speed can be done via the Vsync patches. You can increase the FPS that the games play at (and as far as I know, you can't slow the games down by this method). 90 FPS and 120 FPS are 1.5x and 2x Speed respectively.
It wasn't bringing my CPU to a near meltdown, fortunately. But my computer was restricted to 90 FPS when recording and playing at the same time.
That being said, allow me to also use this post to say:

Yeah, I was joking. :P I hate Hourai Jewel myself, it took me something like six or seven hours of solid attempts in Spell Practice to get my first capture of it. <_< It's less difficult than I originally thought (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xvK0uNCgzk), but still managed to ruin most of my 1cc attempts.
I just tried an SA Lunatic 1cc for the first time. I didn't reach Stage 4. :V
I've advanced from being mercilessly killed by Mima to being mercilessly killed by Chiyuri. Progress is progress, I guess...?

jezus christ SWR has got to be the worst game ever. I dont get story mode at all, even on easy I couldnt beat it. I don't understand the fighting itself, I mean, just push your enemy into a corner and spam Z, then she 'dies' and goes spellcard mode. how the FUCK am I supposed to avoid those cards? Sure I can block some, but then I get pushed all the way back and when I run in to attack she activates her card again so I cant do shit. Just some examples, yukari was spamming these balls in a circle shape sending about 6 waves, stopping on the floor for about 2 seconds then repeats. Sure I can block it eternally but I cant even get more than 1 hit on her after every wave. And then Reimu spamming those card things which break up into more cards which explode, no way I can dodge that, oh well let me just get up from the floor and - O WAIT more explosions right after I get up.
TL;DR: I suck at SWR

I've got locked down by Tenshi for TWO LIFEBARS. On EASY.

Uh... Graze the attacks?

Also rage at your well done artworks
Thanks ! :D
On-topic ...
I'VE JUST ABOUT TO PULL OFF THE CLOSEST MAGIC MILKY WAY CAPTURE, EVER, UNTIL THE STARS PUSHED ME INTO THIS GODDAMN LASER PASSING BY.
RAAAAAAAAGE.

yukari
She's evil in SWR. EVIL! No one in the entire rest of the game even remotely comes close to being even 1/9999999999999999999999999999 as nasty as her. Not even Remi, who comes in at a DISTANT second. Note that this is reversed in IaMP... Though IaMP Remi still isn't nearly as bad as SWR Yukari T_T
-
ALRIGHT WHAT THE HELL
I get to Mima with three lives
I game over
SHE WAS STAGE 5
WHAT THE HELL
SERIOUSLY
-
Just tried using Ellen for the first time ever. I somehow made it to stage 7 with all my lives. Then PoDD reminded me why I should never set out with the goal of 1ccing the game ever again. All 5 lives. Gone.
Ellen's not that good anyway. I think her EX attack is somewhat effective against the AI therefore making her something only noobs would ever use according to Baity because it is remotely useful, but her charge speed is pitiful. Both Ellen and Rikako have one star in charge speed, but the difference between Ellen and Rikako is still ridiculous (I compared when I fought her). It takes a little more than 2 seconds just to fill one part of the charge bar.

Started learning how to do MoF Extra No Vert. Guess.

I don't know about that; I'm decent at IaMP and terrible at SWR (but not UNL, lol), and I managed to 1cc lunatic against Yukari (using Remi, I think?), whereas I can't 1cc IaMP lunatic with anyone that ends up fighting Remi any later than stage 1.
Also, protip for Tenshi's last card; Border Escape. As soon as you start using Border Escapes it goes from "dear god what the hell is this" to "...this is a last card?"
-
got to Medicine with Mystia, two lives
a continue later, I game over again
no, seriously, what the hell
Touhou isn't fun anymore
-
Today I was going to 1cc UFO for sure. I had given up 100% on trying to capture every single spell card. Everything was working out pretty well. I got to Byakuren with 6 lives and 6 bombs. I can so do this. Then my habit of trying to capture every spell card came into play. Lost multiple lives on single spell cards, and I ended up going into Flying Fantastica with 2 lives and 2 bombs. I failed on her last sliver of life haha.
I guess it's my fault though for trying to capture stuff all of a sudden :X
-
I can do this (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5557)... if I didn't stop forgetting methods to do certain Spell Cards.
-
I just beat Utsuho with Marisa A, on Normal with 3 lives left
(http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs274.snc1/10135_1132963408244_1352044817_30309851_2461184_n.jpg)
but when I went to save my score the game crashed ,so apparently it didn't count...
FUCK!!!
-
^ That one happened to me as well. The game crashed at the staffroll.
Beating Okuu with ONE death on Normal is NOT something I could do on every run =/
-
Tried a no focus, no vertical PoFV lunatic run with Shikieiki. Died once to Marisa, twice to Aya (should have been only one but I ran into a spirit - for a second I forgot I was doing a no focus run), but still arrived at Komachi with two lives to spare, and would most certainly gain one more from score after beating her. Wasn't really expecting to beat Reimu later but getting to her on my first Shikieiki NFNV try would have been good enough.
Now, the thing about no-vertical PoFV is that when you get hit, you get bounced around. And then every single time I got hit by Komachi, I got bounced upwards. Lost all three lives there, all three times dying at about boss summon height.
-
Welp, I suck at PoDD Lunatic. :V Didn't even reach Chiyuri this time. Damn confusing bouncing bullets... and Mima's boss summon/L3 combo is still raping me pretty hard.

Guys, why are you watching Part 2 of my video while it's still processing? :V
Because we had already watched the replay anyway?
Because blurry image reduces the chances of going cross-eyed at Mishuhuhufigupajamas?
Also, why are 80% of the images on MotK disappearing randomly for me?
And while we are at it FFFFFF YUKARI'S LAST WORD
I don't want to watch a replay but I can do the PCB waves blindfolded by now and I still can't figure out the first of the "new" ones. :'(
That, and lunatic Hourai Exilir has killed me in the last second who knows how many times already. 220/222 for about a month now.
-
This happened a lot back in the day when I was a Hard-Level Player.
It's like PoFV, except that the bullets are now homing and the bullets are now fairies and they take 5 hits each before they die!
Oh and no focus
PoFV Lunatic=PoDD easy.
-
Also, why are 80% of the images on MotK disappearing randomly for me?
We willingly decided to temporarily not use images for a time period.
Parsee time (before I go to sleep):
- AM's No Vert MoF Extra is what got me interested in doing it in the first place. He clears 2/4.00 and captures "Suwa War"
- AM also did a Stage 4 MoF Lunatic, No Vert. Perfect Aya battle, Momiji taken down without bombing
- AM's also done several other things which make me :parsee: at him in general. Actually, I wish to surpass him, but we all know that's a Pipe Dream at the moment
-
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Got a perfect PCB stage 3 going, but then Hanged Hourai Dolls completely walled me.
DAMN IT, so close to a perfect. :-[

I have a replay if you want to see how I did it (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=3277) (the unnecessarily difficult and graze-y way :V). If you'd like, I could do it normally with another shot if that'd be easier to learn from.
-
I've unlocked Yukari's LW, but I simply can't be arsed to clear it.
Never got past the 1st "new" wave.
-
Many, many, many 1 death timeouts of "Scarlet Meister".
-
how the fuck did PoFV Hard st6 Reimu last OVER THREE MINUTES?
I've almost perfected her, had maxed out the chain, then I get hit 3 times out of nowhere and I lose.
-

Is this on your first round against her? Because as far as I'm aware, unless you're insanely good at PoFV you might as well resign yourself to a death on Stages 6-9 to ease up the AI a little. :V
-
Tried PoFV hard.
Guess what, 1 death on st6, 2 on st7, 1 on st8 and Shiki killed me twice. Game over.
Sounds like Lunatic? It's the same goddamn thing. Might as well as remove the difficulty levels.

-
Apparently word hasn't gotten around that the character you choose is secretly another option for the difficulty level.
Marisa is actually "Hard mode + spell charge buff".
----
A while ago I said that no boss had ever made me RAGEquit as hard or as often as Kogasa Tatara.
Ichirin just passed her. Worst. Boss. Since Yuugi. wait that was only last year
-
It's funny because Ichirin is pretty tame outside of King Kraken Strike. :P Well, Scolding Scorch has a habit of throwing you a hard wave of lasers near the end, but whatever.
-

If Marisa is Hard, Reimu is EX Lunatic.
Stage 6 Marisa, ugh. Reimu's balls are manageable, but Marisa's instaspawn lasers....
Then what are the poor touhous which have to go against Medicine? Ultra Mode?
Seriously, she is supposed to SLOW YOU DOWN, not completely disable any movement.
Aya charging 10 cameras at once moves faster.

Like seriously, I was sitting there, watching more than half the bullets miss and them boom. Evil, evil yellow-brown bullets. I wanted to see the final attack ;_____;
EDIT: Once I clear this, I'm going to change my name as appropriate.

I'm talking about your player character, silly~
There are only a few AI characters that are necessarily tougher than the others; Sikieiki and Medicine are the two I can think of. The rest are basically the same - easy at first, maddening in the end.
There's nothing really instaspawn about Marisa's lasers, but the fact that they're spawning while hundreds of bullets are coming from every other direction makes you not notice them immediately.
@donut: I cannot read her wall nonspells at all, I can pretty consistently run into stationary bullets during her Annihilation attack, and the usual slowdown.

ARGHHGHGHGHGHHHHHGHGH
GOD DAMNIT YUYUKO
Died twice with 3 bombs in stock. got to Deep Rooted Butterfly...
I'm not going to fool myself and say that if it wasn't for that I would have finished the game, but DAMNIT it makes me frustrated that I play the game accordingly to my skills, bombing where I need, and then I get to the last boss i completely space out and die in the most stupid ways I can imagine... i ran into bullets.

FUCKING HELL ARE YOU SERIOUS
YUMEMI WHY THE HELL ARE YOU FOLLOWING SHIKI'S BAD EXAMPLE I THOUGHT PODD DIDN'T DO THAT JESUS CHRIST
What the hell was that? Seriously. I fought Yumemi (as Yumemi) for two minutes... we both used both our bombs pretty fast, and soon Yumemi was at half an orb while I was still at full health. Cut to a minute later, I use a hyper attack (while still at full health) with a load of shit raining down everywhere on both screens. Cut to ANOTHER minute later, Yumemi summons a boss and an L3 and a load of other crap and I get hit three times in about ten seconds and die. That match must have lasted five minutes.
...
FUCK
-
But see, PoDD balances it out somewhat in that it's possible to do this to the AI as well. I've seen lunatic Chiyuri survive for 3 minutes without getting hit and wasting me, then getting hit twice in five seconds and me pulling off a victory.
-
BLARG. I realized something today. Why EoSD Extra suddenly became doable. It's because MarisaA breaks it :V
Everything is so much easier with her :-X
-
Out of curiosity, I tried a serious attempt at 1ccing PoFV Lunatic (read: without lolMedicine). I chose Sakuya and got all the way to Komachi with only one life lost (against...Medicine!).
Then Komachi killed me five times. I didn't even get to Shiki. :V
-
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
VoWG Timeout:
27 seconds left, I die. ;_;. Oh well, at least I can 1 death it!
...
10 FUCKING SECONDS LATER, I DIE. NO 1 DEATH TIMEOUT FOR ME. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Dammit, almost pulled a NDNB "VoWG" timeout. It had me flying through walls and stuff.
This was following a near-perfect 0 Power run.
-
"Hey, I have an idea, let's try 1ccing IN with Magic Team!"
*gets past Tewi
"Three lives, my life count is starting to look decent again."
*clipdeath with three bombs in stock
Of course, this run ends a decent way through Hourai Jewel. If I had that spare life, would have easily made it.
If I need to blame something else, I -really- need to practice Stage 3. Both the stage and Keine ruin me since it's been so long since I've seriously played Touhou, and even longer since I've actually practiced anything in IN.
-
NO!!! I was so close to a 1cc of EoSD Hard... It was within my reach... So close...
After failing multiple times on EoSD Extra, I decided for a change of pace and went to go try EoSD Hard. Some silly deaths here and there, and I got to Remi. Oh my God she's so different from Normal. I lost TWO freaking lives to her god damn OPENER! Those bubble bullets are ridiculous. I have no idea how to determine whether they're going to hit me, and I lost two lives because of it. Lame.
Then I survive to Vampire Illusion, where she takes my last life. But just to humor myself, I decided to continue. One continue later, I get to Scarlet Meister. I want Scarlet Shoot back. But I got it down to like a SLIVER of a life left before I got completely walled and had to bomb out. THEN I go to Scarlet Gensokyo. All it took was one bomb. ONE FREAKING BOMB! ALMOST got a first try capture of Scarlet Gensokyo :(
The catcher is that I didn't lose another life or use another bomb after Vampire Illusion. Meaning that if I didn't lose those two lives to Remi's opening, I would have for sure for sure 1cced EoSD Hard. I'm going to go cry in a corner now.
-
Those bubble bullets are ridiculous. I have no idea how to determine whether they're going to hit me, and I lost two lives because of it.
unless i'm very much mistaken, the hitbox for the giant bubble bullets is the white area in the middle.

The white area on the OUTSIDE has no hitbox, but the red part will kill you. Since the outer part seems smaller on Remi's opener than other attacks...
-

IIRC bubble bullets have a bigger hitbox than usual in EoSD, like the round fat bullets.
On a rage-ish note, I keep dying to pre-Stage 7 enemies in PoDD. <_<

The stage is also easy.
UNLIKE MOTHERFUCKING UFO'S EXTRA STAGE.

Hmm
Well the ones I haven't captured are Ihkahasa's Moon Curse, Possesed by Pheonix, and Fujiyama Volcano, not including Imperishable Shooting.
SadisticPenguin did a Mokou Pacifist, which you should take a look at - it has the patterns you should use on each spellcard.

So, inexplicably, my deathbomb time in EoSD went from very close to nothing to MINUS FIVE SECONDS!!!! There wasn't a single bomb I managed to make where I had bullets anywhere close to me, but not for lack of trying! I swear, at one point when I wasn't in any danger some part of me went "screw it" and I did the equivalent of a panic bomb without actually being at all panicked...
-
It seems to me that IN is pretty freaking hard. Marisa/Reimu are just devilish bosses, and Reisen isn't much better. I can't seem to make precision movements and I end up going over by a just a little bit and die.
Oh, and the time system is so evil. It seems to me that if you bomb once, you're more or less screwed for the time points for the Stage.
-
Normal bombs don't penalize. Deathbombs do. So do deaths.
-
Reisen is easier than Keine :V

I have been having a shit load of problems in getting past Gurella Hurricane and especially

Guerrilla Typhoon - Go focused, camp right under her in the middle of the screen and micrododge.
Karakasa is just pure laser reading. Her easiest card. Once the lasers slow down, find a gap and try to move along with it a bit.....I have a near perfect history on this one.

EoSD. Patchouli. Hard mode.
Does anything else really need to be said?

For the first time I reached Eirin in Imperishable Night. My sister moves me into the every bullet. Oh well, here comes another two hours trying to get back there.
-
Mitori is REALLY REALLY HARD.
-
Mitori is REALLY REALLY HARD.
Odd, I thought Koishi was actually harder than Mitori, despite Mitori being the "Phantasm" version. :V
The stage, now that's a bowl-fulla'-rage right there. It doesn't help that my computer lags to 30FPS during Yuugi's first card. It also does that during some of Mitori's midspells and her version of Rorschach in Danmaku, so I feel like a cheap bitch when I capture them. ):
-
Mitori? Oh, wow, I want that patch for my danmakufu. Where can I get it?
I saw some of her spells- Alone at the bottom of the Abyss, Tragic Fate, and one other card is easier. All other ones, on the other hand...
-
Another no focus, no vertical Shikieiki lunatic run ends with three deaths to Komachi because she kept bouncing me upwards. Aya did the same on the second round against her, and I even lost a life at stage 5 to Sakuya due to rampant stupidity.
A bit more luck and I'd have already reached Reimu with two lives to spare, but no..... PoFV knows what I'm up to and is hellbent on stopping me.
-
Mitori? Oh, wow, I want that patch for my danmakufu. Where can I get it?

FFFFUUUUUUU
I reach And there will be none with 2 lives (fucked up and lost one at counter clock...) and I go just fine and then I fail at passing through the first wave of red balls... But ok I still got 1 life left I can totally make it... so same thing happens again with a yellow wave, but this time I was spamming bomb but I still didnt make it, so in my frustration I spam that bomb button going FU I bombed! so ye I did bomb... AFTER my death. nice waste of a bomb, reach Q.E.D. with 2 bombs but I fail at one of the first waves....
Why does God hate me?
-
And Then There Will Be None? can be pretty bullshitty like that sometimes. Don't stress too much over it.
And Q.E.D.? Even Flandre herself feels a little bad about throwing that at you.
-
ATWTBN fucks with my mind.
Seriously, I capture almost everything but the yellow bullets made me so nervous I rammed it like an idiot.
-
and again... a totally unnecesary death at And then None causes me to face QED with just 2 bombs, I even had a nice death bomb on my first but epic failde before I could use the 2nd... I wanna do it sooo badly ._.

What really? I had to continue twice on her version of Release of the Id. I had no idea how it worked. Also, her version of Philosophy is ridiculous. :< Subterranean Cucumber is fun though~ I almost captured it.
-
God I hate Mystical Dream Vine soooo much. I think I can capture it, but then Meiling keeps on moving and it becomes impossible to do it.....
But besides that, I got to Stage 4, which COMPLETELY demolished me. I died twice on the stage and twice on Patchy.
Sakuya wasn't much better, since her non spell cards on Hard are completely insanely harder than they were on Normal. Otherwise, the only one that needed a bomb was Killing Doll.
I think I'm going to just bomb Remi's opener. Her opener is so full of shit. Well... I guess I could stage practice it... I dunno. I don't even want to talk about the rest of the run :(. Scarlet Meister walled me in and I didn't bomb :( Doubt I could have taken on Scarlet Gensokyo 0/0 anyway.
Went to MoF Extra. Those enemies that come up behind you are so full of crap. I can't read four directions at once T_T
To burn off some steam, I tried MoF Stage 6 Normal Practice. Didn't capture a single thing... Except for Mountain of Faith (the spell card). That card feels so easy now :V
-
ATWTBN's first wave of blue bullets is ... odd. I got past it on my first try, then never succeeded again >.>
-
Uh...what?
What?
EoSD Extra, first time in a while. I somehow clip a bullet on the books; should have been a perfect run of the stage part.
Die to Cranberry Trap.
HIT FLANDRE ON LAVATEIN.
Die on FOUR OF A KIND.
Capture Kagome, Kagome (she sat all the way on the right for half of the card.)
Game over on Maze of Love.
...huh?

KirkOBob 2:16 pm
almost
But clipdeath because of the FLASHING EXPLOSIONS LOL
KirkOBob 2:18 pm
Seriously, one of his attacks his only hard because you can't see shit
SuicideBooth123 2:18 pm

KirkOBob 2:21 pm
If I beat him donut will accuse me of cheating and won't get AIM anyway
KirkOBob 2:25 pm
FUCK
SuicideBooth123 2:25 pm
what?
KirkOBob 2:25 pm
I got to his 5th phase
And died
At the very fucking end of it
I KNOW he was about to die
ignore stupid AIM username I made it like 4 years ago lol
-
Uh...what?
What?
EoSD Extra, first time in a while. I somehow clip a bullet on the books; should have been a perfect run of the stage part.
Die to Cranberry Trap.
HIT FLANDRE ON LAVATEIN.
Die on FOUR OF A KIND.
Capture Kagome, Kagome (she sat all the way on the right for half of the card.)
Game over on Maze of Love.
...huh?
...?????????
Oh nononono... that's simply nothing at all. Listen to this.
I died to the books and the stage. Then Flandres second non-spell. And then to the fourth non-spell. That was absolutely horrible. Dying to Flandres non-spells simply kills my dignity for the entire day.

IN Hard with Border Team
4th stage
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
MARISA :(

IN Hard with Border Team
4th stage
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
MARISA :(
Keine and Marisa are the hardest parts of a 1cc. The rest is just not completely screwing up Reisen and Eirin/Kaguya.
-
Keine's not that bad, is she?
I'll vouch that Marisa is bad enough that it counts as a point for using Scarlet Team instead though.
-
Keine and Marisa are the hardest parts of a 1cc. The rest is just not completely screwing up Reisen and Eirin/Kaguya.
Are you thinking of Marisa's non-spells (threat at lunatic only)? Kaguya certainly have the toughest cards and Marisa's only tough spell is Asteroid Belt which is actually pretty fun. Unlike a certain captain...
-
What the...? I died on LAEVATAIN??? And I was at the right side too... Failure :(
Oh yeah, and how come Kagome, Kagome has become impossible for me to capture? I just can't do it anymore :(
-
SHIKIEIKI YOU ARE A CHEATER
THAT IS ALL
-
Keine and Marisa are the hardest parts of a 1cc. The rest is just not completely screwing up Reisen and Eirin/Kaguya.
What if I die enough at Keine and Marisa that I stand no chance against Reisen :V
-
What if I die enough at Keine and Marisa that I stand no chance against Reisen :V
If you're bombing more than once against Reisen you're "completely screwing up", because only Mind Stopper isn't a complete joke. She's easier than anyone but Wriggle, stage 5 is where you should aim for a net gain on resources. Just don't be afraid of bombing vs. Tewi who is leagues harder than Reisen.
also:
YuugenMagan.
What a stupid boss. Stupid stupid stupid.

What really? I had to continue twice on her version of Release of the Id. I had no idea how it worked. Also, her version of Philosophy is ridiculous. :< Subterranean Cucumber is fun though~ I almost captured it.
Her version of Release of the Id took me a while, yes. I had to continue on that card as well, but once you step back and look at it, it gets easier. I find that I usually move in a W-pattern during that card to keep safe.
And oh my god yes. The first two phases are ridiculously fun, but I can't figure out the third phase at all. ):
-
Welp, Life Spring Infinity has a newfound place on my 'Cards I Hate And Am Not Very Good At' list. Took me 52 attempts just now with the Magic team.
-

This, and Beware of the Red Kappa's "forbid" gimmick is quite hard.
Although I find if you time it right, you can just run around the border of screen and laugh at her during the last forbid phase.
Someone please confirm this for me.

King Kraken Strike
I get walled and trapped so goddamn much on this it's ridiculous. "Oh look this'll be a safespot NO WAIT THAT BULLET'S ACCELERATING ARGH"
Nevermind trying to move during it.
EDIT: Hard ichirin in general confirmed for rage.
Actually, all of stage 3. It just became wallfulls of bullshit on Hard

Doesn't help that so much of Stage 3 (Especially what leads up to Boss Ichirin - the spread-aimed fairy waves) drains me of bombs and causes accidental death like mad T.T

Just had that happen with MarisaA
I hate that spellcard but I should be able to do it so I hate it even more
Also, Sinking Anchor is lots of fun on Hard! ...Until Murasa tackles you.

History : 1/220. WHAT.
Epic fail after PCB's last wave.

Which one is Sinking Anchor? The first one?
Yeah, the boomerang anchor killed me a few times since Murasa moved towards Reimu and it hit me while going back, lol.
-
It seems I still suck terribly at Total Purification; 1/124 with the Magic team. Goddamn. I think I need a break before I try to tackle Fantasy Heaven. @_@
-
Just try Lunatic. Go on, try it.
I have, actually, after pulling a miracle from my arse and beating Lunatic Kogasa. I can clearly state with certainty that it is beyond my current capabilities even with a small miracle to aid me.
Hard, however, still feels in the "I can goddamn do this!" range, which is where the rage occurs.

Yep. Except, I literally had Murasa throw the anchor, then move right into me for a KO. D:
Now reached Stage 5 UFO. ~10 attempts now... seen Shou's opener once.

I've stopped trying 1ccs and I spam stage practice now.
Also some cirno moments at Sinkable Vortex.....I've tried to move through the streams while she spawned another one right on top of me. 2 times.

Eh, the spread fairy section is just a memorization sequence. Even on Lunatic it's fairly easy with any character once you learn the route. Just watch some replays. :V
As for Ichirin and stage 4, my recommended strategy is prayer. :D
-
I'm not even after a 1cc - I'm trying to continuespam my way through Hard to GET these for stage practice T.T
oh lol
took me ages first time through
then the second time I've went through both stage 5 and 6 in one continue(score.dat corrupted), on these 3 lives and 2 bombs:p
-
So, shou was easier to take down then Ichirin or Murasa
even midboss-5 Nazrin. What the hell!?
What the hell's so different about Magic Butterfly on Hard? I swear it's the same damn pattern it was on Normal (Where I have a 90%+ cap rate), but I died twice in a row on it.

IIRC it's the same pattern on all difficulties, but it speeds up. Quite a lot. :V
-
You know, I really, really hate playing Touhou on Lunatic for one simple reason:
STAGE.
FRIGGIN'.
ONE.
Around half an hour later, I got out of EoSD Stage 1 once. And I game overed on CHINA. Two deaths as Demarcation was clearing.
EDIT:
Disclaimer: The above only applies to games not named Perfect Cherry Blossom. PCB's Stage 1 is loleasy, but it makes up for it with CHEN AND ALICE.
Why the HELL am I playing these games again?
-
Stage 6 Hard Nue
It's just... how the hell!?
Also, I almost took down Hiziri T.T But NO. Computer lagged up, and I ran into a bullet T.T
-

Damnit damnit DAMNIT YUMEMI
Four deaths and a game over on the final stage yet again. >_< The first life went very well and lasted for ages, both of us losing hearts at around the same rate... pretty sure I was close to a win. Second fight was TERRIBLE, I lost in under a minute doing a load of utterly retarded things... same for the third round. Almost the same thing happened for the fourth round, too... I was at half a heart and no bombs while Yumemi was at 5 hearts and a bomb to spare. Then, somehow I managed to hold out for another two minutes or so, slowly whittling down her health until we were both at half a heart and bombless. And then, of course, I get clusterfucked, with a boss summon, an L3 and a load of EX attacks at once. Sort of impossible to survive that one. <_< GODDAMNIT.
-
Ichirin is harder than Shou
seriously
FFFFFFFFFF Shou
captured Nazrin's card
Captured RTG(holy shit)
Captured Aura of Justice
Captured spinning lasers
FAILED DEMON OF PURIFICATION
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
im supposed to totally capture that shit
-

I just got spattered by Ran. It was that Flandre run all over again. Two deaths on Charming Siege. Two. WHAT THE HELL WHY CAN'T I PLAY THIS GODDAMN SERIES GODDAMNIT
-
Damnit damnit DAMNIT YUMEMI
Yeah, that happened a lot for me as well before I finally managed to do it.
You really need to get lucky with the AI's mood during the final stage.
In my case Yumemi completely broke down and died in record time.
I remember going "what" when she exploded out of nowhere.
Keep at it, you'll get that 1cc in no time if you keep this up. ;)
-
Remember when I said in the accomplishments thread after getting match play lunatic Medicine down to an orb and a half with Yuka that I'd make it my life mission to win that fight?
Yeah...
-
AHH WHAT THE HELL
I'm always saying how Sakuya is the easiest Stage 5 boss on Hard, and then she comes and takes 3 lives from me when I had 5 lives and was SURE I was going to 1cc this shit!
-
So I'm currently up to the self-mutilation phase of rage because of Pandemonium...I cannot defeat it no matter how many resources I have going into it, no matter how hard I try I cannot break the loop it creates. There's NO MOVE that will hurt her, and every part of the attack is timed perfectly so that you CAN'T hit her at any point. And worst of all? Nobody's going to tell me how. Nobody's going to tell me how to break this cycle because nobody plays this fucking game AND FOR GOOD REASON. And until somebody proves otherwise I refuse to believe that video of someone beating it without taking damage with Yukari was done without cheating.
-
Just cleared PCB extra for the first time - best run I've ever done of it by far, only 2 deaths, captured a few of the things I usually miss out on, etc...
...And the replay desyncs on Ran's first nonspell, so I have nothing to show for it. Even without any fast forwarding at all, or anything. Le sigh. I thought it was just SA replays that had this problem. :l
-
Stage 5 UFO 1DNB All Spell Cards captured goddammit.
-
LOL I forgot why I hated IN.
It feels like normal mode all over again.
I SUCK AT REISEN I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS BLA BLA BLA SHE'S NOT A JOKE SHE'S FUCKING HARD AND I AM CLUELESS AS TO HOW DEAL WITH HER
I just lost 3 lives to her >_>

Where do you have trouble? Red Eyes Hypnosis is impossible until you watch a replay (really, I can't explain it in words) and realize that it has an absurdly simple loophole.
-
UFO as a whole.
There's no way I can 1cc this again.
-
I know I can effing 1cc UFO with SanaeB. I want to 1cc it so badly, and she breaks the stage portion of the game so badly... SO WHY DO I NOT 1CC THE DAMN THING???
My god it's like the deathbomb time in UFO is 0. The god damn thing is so easy, so within my grasp. If I just bomb everything I can do it... But there's just this psychological barrier that says, "Screw you, capture everything or you're nothing." I want it to GO THE HELL AWAY.
-
Today was the worst day.
Game over at Sakuya twice
Game over at Youmu once
Game over at Reisen three times
Game over at Shou once...
MoF is out of the list because I've beaten on hard and no way I'm trying lunatic, and SA is out of the list because I want a break from it =X
So my last boss curse is evolving into two last bosses curse!
ARGH =(
-
PCB Phantasm...I get through the stage itself with no deaths, THEN I GAME OVER ON YUKARI'S FIRST SPELLCARD!!!!! RAGE!!!!!!!! I know how to do it, and I still die at least once! GAH!
EDIT: I give up on this...i'll try something I can actually do now... :'(
-
PoFV Lunatic, playing as Reimu to give myself a break from playing Sakuya.
Sakuya must be pretty mad at me for abandoning her since I got lost a life on her within 1:10 :V
-
Wait, what? Did I just game over at Patchy? What happened to my deathbombing skills? Why didn't I bomb at all in the first place?
-

Looks easy enough... right?
Man, it'd be nice even if I got an improvement over my current 2DNB run, but nooooo this just had to happen at this point in time to make it a 1D2B run.
As an aside, I've worked out most of the things now (again; improvement). Apart from luck-based shenanigans like this (replicating lasers) I just have to survive the post-boss fairies...
Considering swapping to SanaeB.
-
God damn it... Two massive UFO failures in one night... I went into Byakuren with 3/5 because of some absolutely retarded mistakes at Murasa (including two deaths to Murasa's survival, plus a bunch of other random deaths in her stage, and I missed millions of UFOs in Stage 5), and I expected to get to Flying Fantastica with you know, like 2/0 or something. But no, life had other plans for me. A clip death at Purple Mist, then another clip death on her non spell card immediately after that. Yes, that is the one that's basically straight lines of purple bullets with just four grazable lasers aimed at you.
On the bright side I got to Flying Fantastica 0/1... and ended up dying at 15% with that 1 bomb still in stock...
-
OP edited~
When Satori moves down the screen too much, impossible walling occurs due to the nature of the non-spells. The Marisa hitbox doesn't help either.
Same thing applies for Syou, Murasa and other bosses with pseudo-static non-spells. And only non-spells.
-
... So because I performed so well on the Mokou fight I got 16 deaths in the Nue fight just now. WHAAAAAAAAT ?
-
Red UFO Invasion of RAGE
Yeah that name is pretty appropriate when you're using ReimuB. Holy shit, it took two lives and two bombs to get through that.
-
Man, I suck at Touhou this morning. I kept dying at least twice before even reaching Stage 7 in PoDD, and then I gave up and tried to capture cards in PCB only to also repeatedly fail at capping Stradivarius. Have to retry Stage 4 so many times is annoying. :V
-
PCB Stage 4 is one of the most annoying 4th Stages in Touhou.
It's only less annoying then MoF i think, and maybe UFO.
-

IMO, it's the single most annoying stage to retry. Not because it's a bad stage, it's quite fun... but unless I'm mistaken it must have the single longest stage section in any Touhou stage (possibly barring Extras). :V

GODDAMNIT

let's just pretend that the Makai route in HRtP doesn't exist, okay
-
Welp, capped Misayama Hunting Shrine Ritual with ReimuA for the Donut challenge. Rage because I was thinking 'oh I used to have trouble with this but I'm a Lunatic player now and this is a Normal card so it should be easy, right?' and then that did not happen at all. I dislike this card quite a lot.
And now I have a random urge to test my no focus skills, so I'm going to try VoWG Hard unfocused. So, er, pre-emptive rage for that too, I guess. :V

best touhou ever~

Not awfully hard IMO ... But as far as I've seen it's claustrophobic and requires you to move -really quickly- through the tiny gaps. Talk about silly deaths :P
Kogasa's last spell is awfully hard for a 2nd boss as well :P
-
Kogasa's last spell is awfully hard for a 2nd boss as well :P
Thiiiiiiiiiiis. That one, I auto-bomb for real. Nazrin Pendulum at least I feel like I should be able to do it and I just fail so I've turned it into an auto-bomb just for safety.
-
I think I've never captured Kogasa Train on Easy, and once on Normal. I know how it's supposed to be done, but I can't really actually do it.
I haven't played UFO in a while... I'd better try it later to make sure I don't get too rusty.
-
bloody HELLFIRE
I was doing another PCB run, got to the Prismrivers 4/4.
died twice with four bombs to Merlin's opener and STILL had to bomb it three times
after dying two more time I quit
multiple restarts unable to get out of stage 1
god
damn
it
-
Kogasa's last spell is awfully hard for a 2nd boss as well :P
Let's see .... so I shouldn't be too ashamed at having 8/30 on normal, but 1/75 on easy? -.-
And Nazrim Pendulum .. the rage-worthy part there for me is that it's an autobomb for me on hard, but I've gotten semi-consistent on capturing Cirno's mid and Letty's first card in PCB lunatic.
Just don't talk to me about Letty's second card -- curvy lasers can die.
-
Blargh, my focus is slipping. I'm back down to 3-5 deaths on VoWG no focus. =x Time for a break.
Also, I find Nazrin's Pendulum more difficult than Kogasa's final card. :V
-
Also, I find Nazrin's Pendulum more difficult than Kogasa's final card. :V
Yeah, but I'm playing on Easy where there's seriously like no little bullets on the pendulum card. I just manage to clip them anyway, it's embarassing. :V
-
Misdirect the bubble bullet and plant yourself in the holes of the small ones... At least, that's how I do it.
Edit: I'm an Easy/Normal player, so I don't know if it's the same on Lunatic.
-

What the FUCK is up with SoEW's hitboxes
-
What the FUCK is up with SoEW's hitboxes

About the only way Shou could be more broken is if she used SoEW lasers for everything. (IE: Sprite half the size of the hitbox, not to mention far from small sprite)
-

SoEW does not have hitboxes. The game will randomly decide whether or not to kill you when you are near a bullet. :V

-

Not to mention that Kurumi shoots bullets at you before the fight starts (At least on Lunatic she does). That would be epic if PC-98 games didn't time-stop during conversation.
And yeah, in SoEW sometimes I just have to go "OKAY THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN WAS EMPTY HOW DID I DIE". God dammit Evil Eye Sigma. Oh, and the Magic Stone's randomly(?) placed insta-spawn lasers. What the hell. And Mima's final phase with hitboxes 1.5x as big as the bullets~

WHAT

The last four deaths were with a minimum of two bombs in stock. I have no idea what hit me on three of them, including STYGIAN GODDAMN RIVERSIDE and CONCERTO GROSSO. SERIOUSLY

Was getting kinda bored so decided to do my last ufo extra run of the night. Reach nue with 5 lives 2 bombs, nice I can totally do it with this!
First non card *dies* - ah well!
First spell card captured! - see, I can totally do this!
2nd non card *dies* - WHAT? HOW?!
*beats 2nd non-card and gets hit while the bullets are dissapearing* - WHAAAAAAT!!!??!
2nd spell card *dies* - No shit! with only ~2 power I cant kill ufos ._.
*obtains extra life and beats 3rd noncard*
Snakes, LOL!
some noncard or something
O hai there blue UFOs, this is me with low power, as you can see I can not kill you and so I am walled.... TWICE! :V
maybe one more try?

They are aimed at your position. I deskslammed when I learned this too (along with the fact that stage 4 is all streaming. This was AFTER I beat hard you see >_>).

Where exactly do you stand to stream them? In the middle?
-
Side / Corner. To minimize the chance of collision with the Fairy Maids.
-
Yeah, fairy collisions are an annoying part of EoSD, not because it's prevalent but because it happens at all. >_>
Keep in mind that for the wave where a bunch of rings are fired, count the shots and stream after the fourth one is fired.
-
I bet I could've 1cc'd UFO Easy just now if I hadn't died on literally the last second of a Most Valuable Vajra timeout and twice (with bombs in stock) on Mystic Fragrance of a Makai Butterfly. >_< Ended on Byakuren's 4th non-card
... to be fair, it was my second time getting past Shou's second non-card and my first time past Most Valuable Vajra, and I capped Omen in Purple Mist all but blind, so overall I'm actually quite happy. >_>
-
You mean that you're only supposed to die to fairy-checks in EoSD? I'm pretty good at running into them in SA too :V
I found out watching someone else's replay that the Stage 4 air mine things' bullets are aimed. It's still more fun to macrododge them, and it's worth more points too.
-
OK MURASA STOP RUINING MY 1CCs. YOU JUST INSIST ON MAKING ME CLIP SOMETHING ARGHGHGHGHGH.

There aren't enough "JESUS CHRIST GODDAMN FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"s in the world to describe how badly I want to tear out someone's jugular right now.
Only important stage is stage 6, but feel free to watch me breeze through the other five effortlessly first.
-
I finally mustered up the motivation to go and complete SA's extra..... WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU KOISHI???? YOUR DAMN TIMEOUT CARD, YOUR MINDFUCKING HEART BULLETS, YOUR WTF HITBOXES DURING GENETICS.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5646 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5646) For Sapz and Bananamatic. Nazrin's Pendulum is static with aimed bullets- copying me will capture that card every time. I believe my personal record for that is 200/270 or so- it's easy to capture once you figure out.

I just beat EoSD stage 6 with one death. What's rage-worthy about that? The fact that I blew three bombs on the stage (didn't feel like getting hit in the spam and restarting, midboss non-spell walled me, Eternal Meek), and the last on Remi's opener. I proceeded to perfect her until Scarlet Meister, which I was one wave away from capturing. I've already beaten her no deaths (to date I think that's the one thing I truly have that nobody else here except Phar has), but that's still a little disheartening to think I could have done it again (the fact that I most certainly would have bombed on Thousand Needle Mountain and Vampire Illusion aside).
-
OKAY I HAVE COMPLETELY NO IDEA OF HOW TO CAPTURE PHILOSOPHY OF A HATED PERSON.
THE YELLOW ROSES CRAWL TOWARD YOU AND CONSUME YOU BEFORE YOU CAN EVEN MOVE ANYWHERE.
BUT IN THIS REPLAY OF PHAR THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO BE EVEN AWARE OF HIS EXISTENCE.
THIS IS NOT FAAAAAAAAAIR.

The roses appear where Koishi is in the background.
Koishi moves in a U shape. Always.
-
................. Wait ... Koishi is in the background ?
*feels like a Cirno*
EDIT: ... What the ... 20 deaths. My graze skills simply disappeared :( Last time I could capture everything but Genetics of the Subconscious and THAT one.
EDIT: So if she moves in a U shape, the middle area's safe ?
-
EDIT: So if she moves in a U shape, the middle area's safe ?
No. She covers around a full quarter of the screen at any moment. You can, however, start in the top right and just move over to the top left, at least on one or two phases. 'sbeen a while since I played Koishi last (though she is still :wub:)
EDIT: By the way, Baity, any chance you could PM me that Parsee picture you had heading the topic before? I forgot to grab it.

Game over at Byakuren 4 times yesterday >_<

SA Lunatic Stage 1 absvdajhg
How the Christ do you do Yamame's opener? It's pretty much an autobomb for me. Same thing for Parsee's midboss non-card. And, er, most of Yuugi's laser attacks.
-

For Yamame's opener you macrododge it left to right.
Fun fact: it becomes completely impossible when she goes down the screen too much.
Midboss Parsee: Shotgun her through the entire attack, you only have to dodge like one bullet.
For Yuugi's first laser spam, just stay in the middle of "enemy" and absolutely nothing will hit you. :V
Same for the later ones, only it's a bit more up. Stay under the first laser that comes from the right.

-
Blah. I had perfected IN Extra up to Mokou's 5th non-card and then managed to mess up pretty much every attack after that. :V
-
EX-Kogasa, why has it become completely impossible for me to capture any of her spell cards?
-
Not sure if this is more rage or embarrassment ..... 6/0 coming into Murasa. Two clips and a "hi there, mr. bullet, excuse me while I run into you" on her first card. End the fight 2/2.
I just sort of gave up after that and let Nazrin finish me. -.-
-
Sort-of-rage at not having the drive to get good at SA Lunatic. :/

SA Stage 5 Lunatic... 8 deaths. Welp, that needs some work.

Either why she must stop you from telling lies, or how to dodge hotdogs at the speed of light. :V
-
My vote's on the former.
Edit: I have my own theories that PoFV has an in-built "worthiness-detector". I've always done my best in that game when I have been feeling good about myself for doing various productive and helpful things prior to playing. Give it a try and see how it works for you. :D
-
Tried doing a no focus capture of VoWG with MarisaB for the lulz.
One death...
And that was duo to a stupid clipdeath.
I can so totally do this.
-
It's been a while since I mentioned this, so I thought I'd just throw it out there:
I FRIGGIN' HATE AYA
She just "LOLDIENOW"'d me three times in a row in PoFV. I didn't even make it through Yuka.
-
God I hate this. I can totally clear UFO extra. but 1 death on kogasa (LOLwall'd), 2 deaths on a single non-spell (one after it ended >.<) and 2 on Blue UFOs, captured the rest but as I'm still new to rainbow UFOs I died twice there aswell :(

I don't get what gives you people so many problems with Aya. All that fight is is streaming. It gets hard after you've been going at it for three minutes and there are other bullets to worry about too, but until then I don't get what you could possibly be getting killed by.

No. She'll get knocked down to half a life, and then wall my screen with nonstop conjunctive level 3s and 4s and a torrent of snowball bullets. Over. And Over. And Over. And Over Again.
Also, PCB Stage 1 just killed me half a dozen times; the three times I get through it I can't get past Chen's first noncard without dying.

Which is still all streaming.
The only thing that should really ever kill you there is the random spray of red bullets her boss attack throws out, since it blends in with the background. Even then, half of those are destructible so it's not even a dense spray in the first place.

QFT.
The first round is almost impossible thanks to the lv4 spam, I've almost perfected the second one but once she gets to the last half life, it turns fucking insane and I've won with only one half left.

They're what kills me. I cant clear them anywhere near fast enough.
EDIT:
so I can't dodge VoWG to save my life
so I can't time out VoWG when I get to it with eight lives
so I can't play Touhou apparently
damn it
-
I'm on holiday just now, and my friends let me download Touhou to their computer so I could have a couple of games.
It took me 5 attempts to 1cc Perfect Cherry Blossom on Normal.

Made it to Orin's final non-card on Lunatic. This is rage because at least 3/4 of my deaths were EXTREMELY STUPID and I think I might have actually managed a 1cc if it wasn't for them. Things like running into a bullet at the start of Stage 2, dying at the part in Stage 5 where you can just sit still and be completely safe, dying on midboss Orin's first phase because I let go of shoot instead of focus, running into a bullet on her final non-card with 3 power... you get the idea. <_<
-
I can't do "Resurrection Butterfly" that consistently, so why am I trying to Perfect S6?
-
...Kisume. You are a stage 1 midboss. WHY IS MY HISTORY ON YOUR SPELL CARD LESS THAN 50% CAPTURES GODDAMNIT YOU MAKE ME RESTART SO MUCH
-
I just LOVE how 1cc training turns out.
St5 UFO hard.
At first: the stage doesn't seem hard, the boss WTF, a few spells are manageable.
Then: The stage is fucking clippy, what you couldn't figure out before you still can't figure out(pre-mid/boss spamorbs. No idea, even with a replay), the boss is manageable, spells which used to be manageable are now an autobomb because you still can't do them consistently.
I still clip the stage, especially the fairy/flashing danmaku combo.
The post Nazrin spam is always a bomb. Same for both of the final orb spams.
Nazrin: The first nonspell is still clippy. The card didn't seem bad at first, but now it's so LOL RANDOM you can't do it consistently at all.
Shou: The first nonspell isn't THAT bad, but easy to die at. Easier than the second, atleast.
Radiant Treasure Gun - No. Fuck off.
Aura of Justice - WHAT IS THIS STAGE 1 SPELL DOING HERE
Third nonspell - easy. But I always fail it on real runs.
Laser spin - easier than it used to be. More consistent that both Nazrin and her final spell.
Demon of Purification - Same as Nazrin. Used to be manageable at first, now it's still inconsistent because it's way too damn random.
All in all - Top tier bullshit stays there, hard stuff becomes easy and what used to be easy is now hard because you can't figure it out.
tl;dr fucking UFO

It's official, I can't play Touhou anymore.
Seven lives going into VoWG and the best yet is 26 seconds left.

Mishaguji-sama timeout two deaths. FFFFFFFFFFFF-
-
"Oh, I'm bored. I think I'll play PCB Hard."
*Stage 1 goes by and Stage 2 starts*
"I need to be more careful on this stage. No unfocused dodging for m-" *runs into red bullet while unfocused*
"Oh well, I'll just keep going. It's just 1 mistake, no need to restart."
3 Stages later I'm 'singing' the songs at the top of my lungs, getting louder every time I clip something. The run eventually ends at Youmu, and the result screen pops up and tells me I died 10 times and used 11 bombs. FFFFFFFFFFF
Maybe I need a break from Touhou. I've been like this for days.
-
Alice's random bursts are stupid for a reason. Normally, it only happens once. Occasionally happens twice and not consecutively. Rarely, twice in a row. Who would've guessed that she would do it a third time in a row?

Heh. I usually end up murmuring the counting sections of Marisa Stole the Precious Thing by the time I finish off Red-Haired Dutch Dolls, though not out of rage - I think the idle parts of my mind just latch onto the melody and run with it.

My strategy for SA: Restart if I die AT ALL or miss any life fragments on the first three stages, or more than once on stage 4. Then bomb like it's SoEW upon reaching Orin.
EDIT: And suddenly, I'm unable to play. I keep dying on stage ONE over and over and over... Then if I reach stage 2, I'm almost guaranteed to screw up Parsee's first card somehow... Stage 3?

ARRRGHH!!! WHAT THE HELL!? I reach Satori with no deaths, one life fragment missed, and I die THREE TIMES to her before even reaching Border of
Mean and Evil Wave and Particle T_T *restarts for the ten billionth time today*

I slammed into Kiene at the start of IN extra...
If not for that one stupid death I might have gotten past Fujiyama Volcano.

MY GOD!!! I can't stand this anymore. I get to Byakuren 2/2, confident. Fuck. Then nerves get in the way. Shit. I bomb on the freaking 2nd wave, then I go through and the reds start coming out before Byakuren is down to 33%. Fuck fuck fuck. I survive and then I die with 2 bombs although she only has a SLIVER of life left. FUCK.
Edit: FUCK IT HAPPENED AGAIN. SCREW YOU UFO.

Aya just killed me three times twice in a row.
I don't have words for this.

Fun Fact: The idea behind dealing with Yumeko's streams
are is quite simple. You have to swap directions at the right time. However, the window (of execution) is quite small. Especially when you go against the blue streams with "randomly generated" lasers. Also, it seems like I can record at full speed, so yay? :V
After some (estimated; very accurately) number crunching, the probability of me perfecting Yumeko can be defined as:
| P(Winner at Life) | = .90^2 * .95^3 * .80^3 * .99 * .25^3 * .50 * .99 |
| = 4.08 * 10^-3 |
| = 0.00408 (0.408%) |
Hence, I have a 0.408% chance to perfect Yumeko. Expect many, many restarts for a Perfect Stage 5. I'm estimating about 250 restarts on Yumeko alone, and maybe another 50 or so on the stage. This is just about as frustrating as SA Stage 5 Lunatic; just swap the numbers for the stage and Boss!Orin.
-
fucking hell, im so freaking angry right now, jezus christ....
I reached nue's 2nd to last spell for the first time with 3 lives, so I thought it was easy but proved trickier than I expected, no problem I just lose a life... but then I tried to bomb twice and it didnt happen due to my FUCKING keyboard wiring. causing me to reach the last spell with 0 lives instead of 2. her last one is so easy but as it was my first time I had to die at least once.

I don't get this. AT ALL.
I beat Ichirin with 3 lives and 0 bombs, then I somehow run on these supplies all the way to Byakuren's third card.
If I could beat Ichirin with 7-8 lives, I could have 6 lives on Byakuren.
Which would be overkill.
-
I just don't understand how bad I suck anymore.... every single time it is one freaking thing which prevents me from clearing UFO extra.
But this one just blew my mind. I reach nue with 5 lives and 1 bomb (I dont know how that is for awesome players, but thats pretty much my max) then I go and capture every single thing, I play my tactic perfectly (bomb the 3rd non-card because it is too dangerous) get my 6th life and go all the way to Undefined Darkness.... I had 16 attempts and 3 captures, I can totaly do it, its a nasty card but defintely doable....... and then I died... and again..... and again....... and another time.... oh and I used a bomb. FOUR lives and 1 bomb on a single spell card.. >:( a card I can freaking capture, but no... I lose FOUR lives on it, 4!! I don't think I've ever raged as much as I have today.... Gonna take a break now, I will defintely clear this today

Made it out of stage 2 with 2 lives.
-
Well, still no progress in the VoWG no focus using Marisa challenge.
It's frustrating. I know I can do it, but I keep being extremely unlucky and/or stupid.
For instance, there was one time that I ran into a wave THAT I ALREADY DODGED because I went down too fast to reposition myself.
I timed it out a few times unfocused though, I guess that's something. :-\

ESoD. Decided to play it again with my standard Marisa B. Died while Cirno was exploding on Diamond Blizzard. Got angry and restarted. Died on Darkness Sign: Demacration.
Decided to just Stage Practice the stages I wanted to play (3 and 5).
-
Tried SA Extra with MarisaA instead of ReimuA. Did great on the stage, got to Koishi with full power and lives.
Died 3 times on Danmaku Paranoia, WHAT
-
Does everyone else have this skill loss?
Failed UFO Hard 1cc.
Went for stage practice.
Captured Magic Milky Way and Devil's Recitation.
Next run, failed Air Scroll 5 times. Rage.
Next run, didn't capture anything. Failed her opener. RAAAAAAAAAGE
Next run, death on stage opener.....let's try again....
.....and another death.
I guess that when you rage so much that want to CRUSH A HUMAN SKULL with BARE HANDS, you play like crap.
-
ARGH!!!!!!!! WHAT THE HELL WHAT THE HELL WHAT THE HELL?! I get through the first four stages of SA with ONE death total! ONE! No life fragments missed! I reach stage 5 with a freaking TON of lives! I get through it all with about half the amount I enter with, even considering the life fragments I gained. Then I die twice on stage 6 before even reaching Utsuho... I'm at my last life as her third card begins, but with the life fragment, I'll get a spare. I die before I can reach the PoC. ARGH!!!
-
SA extra with Marisa B is going to be...a thing I can see.
-
Today I learned something new.
While Youmu is exploding during her last spellcard, she doesn't slow time down. Cue death by high speed rainbow wall. WHY CAN'T I DO PCB HARD MODE
-
This is the end of my OMFingG I FINALLY MADE IT THROUGH ICHIFRICKINGRIN AND MURASA run.
(http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m303/ValetVisuals/Random/soclose.png)
Notice the location of the life pieces here as well as how many fractions of life I needed for an Extend.
Not coincidentally, this is also the beginning of my continuespam through Byakuren, in which I failed Magic Butterfly every time (!?) and captured Magic Milky Way every time but once. MMW is actually pretty easy if you know what the lasers do...
-
Uhh.... what?
Uh, what I meant was a timeout with dying a few times.
As in after failing a capture.
Yeah, I guess I should have worded that better. :V
-
Youmu
last spellcard
I have a zero percent capture rate on that for every difficulty other than Easy.

If you make an effort to get as far through the bullet curtain as you can during the slowdown, it gets a bit easier.
If you try to dodge it from the bottom, you're asking to get hit.
-
ARGHH!!! What the hell is with PoFV?! T_T Dear god, there is NO invulnerability time after death, you can release a level 2 at the EXACT same time you get hit and still take damage...
And just a bit ago, I get to stage 7 without dying. Two deaths to Aya, pretty much got tossed straight in the Sanzu River when I fight Komachi as she takes out my last three lives like it was nothing... ARGH!!!
EDIT: THREE DEATHS TO AYA ARGH!!! ...Why isn't Mokou in PoFV? Because I REALLY want some roasted Tengu right now.

Stage 5 UFO (revisiting because I have the potential to perfect it).
So I:
- Captured "Greatest Treasure" (like the piece of crap it is)
- Survived the Post-Mid-Boss waves, even the Pre-Boss orbs (memorized)
- Captured "Radiant Treasure Gun"
- Survived Syou's 2nd non-spell
- ...died to "Aura of Justice" because I accidentally hit up out of twitch reflex instead of standing perfectly still; smacked right into a wall
- Almost captured "Vajra of Perfect Buddhism", except I moved too early, didn't finish the Spell Card off and smacked myself into a bullet rushing towards the PoC
-
I was SO close to 1ccing PCB.
BUT THEN FUCKING YUYUKO'S LAST SPELL CARD KICKS MY ASS
HOW THE FUCK DID THIS HAPPEN
I had 1 live when I reached her, and I got ALL the way to "Resurrection Butterfly -30% Reflowering-" to lose ALL of them, FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Why are there so many bullets in PCB? Makes me wanna raegquit. ;_;
-
I find her last spell easier if you go up and go past the red butterflies before they spread out (how the hell do people dodge that from the bottom, seriously)
-

Play "Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana" a lot. You'll eventually be able to read the bullet paths easily.

Tried a PCB Hard 1cc. It was going to be my very first Hard 1cc ever, and I was doing fantastically. Then I game-over'd on Yuyuko's third midspell. I could have made it if not for one thing.
What is that thing?
Hint: I used Sakuya :V

With Reimu-A it's even easier than PCB with Sakuya-B =P

IN and MoF Hard are much more manageable than
PCB Prismriver and Youmu BS :V
Stop worrying and love the bomb~

I have so many grievances against PCB Stage 4 and onwards. The Primsriver Sisters are pure evil, and almost every single freaking one of their spells/non-spells always gets me. And what's worse is that the Stage takes about 50 minutes to go through so practicing that crap is such a pain.
Youmu suffers from the same stupid stage problem, but other than that, she's not too bad save for Hell Realm Sword. If only the time slow occurred before the red bullets smother me. Otherwise she's cake.
Yuyuko is absolutely gay. Her first spell card always makes me screw up every though there's a freaking CLEAR PATH through the bullets, and after that it's just stupid mistake after stupid mistake even though it's all fairly easy. The only legitimately hard spell she has is her final spell if I get unlucky and she just doesn't stay within my range (MarisaA user).

I've figured out a cause of Touhou woes.
I cannot press more than 3 buttons at once on my laptop. This means I can't move while focus firing and have an OHSHIT BOMB moment... well, unless I don't want the bomb to go off. I thought I just had lousy reflexes until I tried not firing all the time. Whelp, there we go.
Unless this is a built-in feature of Touhou but I never read about that restriction before, in which case I am a moron.
-
no, that's definitely a problem with the keyboard of your laptop.
I've seen keyboards do this before, specially when i used to play O2Jam and you could press up to 7 keys at once.
-
Talking about rage.....what do you usually do when you rage?
Mine ranges from the usual "FFFFFFFFFFFF" when you just can't pull the full thing, keyboard punching, trying to break the keyboard with my head, to grabbing the keyboard like a sword and smashing it into the table full force(did that only once, dunno where did I fuck up THAT badly to pull off a stunt like that).
Surprisingly, 4 months later and the only damage are broken keyboard legs.
I probably can't play on a laptop :V
Touhou is a pretty fun way to learn how to control yourself - I can now laugh about stupid deaths even on a real run :V
-
When I posted that last replay of me losing eight or so lives to Byakuren I kicked my closet door so hard I put a hole in it. :V
-
Strangely, my reactions don't tend to be that bad, no matter how frustrated I am (and trust me, PoFV rage yesterday was incredible) I rarely go above a simple "ARGH!" out loud, and don't really slam/break things.
-
The worst thing I've done is rip out some of my hair when my computer restarted for some updates in the middle of Remi's fight.
-
I'm starting to pound the desk when I start making the same mistakes repeatedly.
Fortunately UFO's soundtrack is very good RAGE cushioning.
-
I always swear very loud.
My wife hates that.
Sometimes i hit the table, the keyboard... I've broken 3 keyboard in the past. I plan on keeping this one... so I just punch the table...
other times I go to the kitchen to get a drink and end up punching a door or wall...
Touhou REALLY makes me rage :(
-
I don't really do much when I rage. I usually just go "argh!" or something, then exit the game.
Later, if it was a really stupid thing that caused the rage, I'll laugh.
Then if it's really stupid (perfect EoSD Extra except a death on her opener because I was scratching an itch), then I cry :V

Aaah...that sucked, really. Tried SA Hard for the first time in...quite a while, really.
Two deaths on Yugi, three on Stage 4, game overed on Satori. Disappointing, especially the clip on BoWaP, I really though I had it and then I died.
Things we need to work on:
NOT DYING ON YUGI'S FIRST NONCARD
Not dying on Yugi's SECOND noncard
Not dying like crazy on Stage 4 for no good reason
Terrifying Hypnotism
DBDB
Not dying with power every death
-
Bwahahaha~
Donut's a cheater, Donut's a cheeeaterrrr~
I'm totally a cheater :V :V :V
Brb, kicking myself over a 2DNB run of MS Stage 5. That post-boss stuff is nasty. Much more nastier than I originally thought. Much more worse than MoF Stage 4's. I'm thinking of stalling down the timer on the mid-boss as low as I can get it, even though it will be bad for my score.
-
So apparently, much like my capture, my no-bomb timeout of VoWG was a complete fluke, and I still suck at Touhou, because several tries later (one with eight lives), I've only managed to get the timer down to 59 seconds. With Eight Lives.
Oh bloody hell. At least I captured Source of Rains again (which is still one of ZUN's worst spell cards).
-
How the hell are you supposed to beat Yumemi on Hard... blaaaah, I reached her with 3 extra lives using Reimu, got an extend while fighting her, lasted several minutes each time, yet never even got her down to half a heart left.
WHY ARE YUMEMI'S BOSS ATTACKS SO IMPOSSIBLE TO DODGE WITH ALL THIS OTHER CRAP ONSCREEN
-
I hate myself
I can PERFECT all of the stage portions in EoSD Hard.
But because I'm so confident I always end up wanting to play on the top of the screen for maximum point value and always, ALWAYS end up dying in the most stupid ways in stages 3 and 4. I should just sit back and watch all those items fall like i do in ST 5 and 6 then I could totally 1cc this shit with many lives to spare because the only boss in the game who gives me any trouble is Patchouli.
WTF is wrong with me =(

Which char? I could perfect Hard Patchouli easily....was ReimuB or MarisaB.

I play with them both.. ReimuB or MarisaB
I think Patchouli has too many spellcards.. I prefer playing against Sakuya than her anyday =P
-
Post midboss MS Stage 5 was probably the inspiration for post midboss EoSD Stage 5, except MS is harder there. =V
Just to get this out of my system, in order of descending difficulty:
- MS Stage 5 Post-Mid-Boss
- SA Stage 5 Post-Mid-Boss
- MoF Stage 4 Post-Mid-Boss (I've practiced this one a lot)
- PCB Stage 4 Post-Mid-Boss
- UFO Stage 5 Post-Mid-Boss (Easier than it actually looks most of the time)
- EoSD Stage 5 Post-Mid-Boss
IN and LLS, don't have them IIRC, SoEW's (if it does have one; who knows?) I would imagine being pretty laughable.
-
I was CAVED by Keine...
... before the Stage 4 dialogue.
-
Tried doing a UFO lunatic 1cc attempt.
Actually made it all the way to LFS/LFO before game-overing.
If I had micro-memorized this I would probably have pulled it off. :-
The run (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5719) is godawful with bombspam and doing stupid stuff in general.
Also I have no idea what the best UFO chaining route is.
Highlights include:
- Dying to Murasa's first spellcard.
- Dying to Byakuren's opener.
-
Didn't really rage but what is up with yuyuko's final spell? I come to her 2nd to last with 1 bomb and I could do it just fine, then I get hit out of nowhere (I honestly didn't see anything near me, it wasn't even dense at that moment), ah well I'll just use a continue. And then her last spell x.x is it an unwritten rule or something that I have to spend at least 3+ lives on this one? She's imune so you gotta survive it, but those red diagonal balls are so god damn annoying.
-
To anyone who said Aya is easy in PoFV, or anything that is not utter crap:
YOU ARE A LIAR
She throws streaming walls that force you into a corner, then throws more, and fairies are almost guaranteed to come up from that side if you get pushed there. GOD DAMN IT ALREADY STOP KILLING ME THREE GODDAMN TIMES YOU PIECE OF CRAP
Also of note was one of Reisen's bullets killing me from OFF THE SCREEN ALREADY, that was fun.

QFT bro, QFT.
I always get pushed to the side and THEN I get hit.
Not to mention that she spams her Dragon spell all the time. Especially in round 1.
Also, damage is apparently determined by bullet speed - with Aya's lightspeedmaku, 1 hit early on and you lose like 5 halves. Sucks.
-
Aya can kill me three times in a row easily as well. One part of her boss attack is ARGH HOW ARE THOSE BULLETS SO FAST!!!! Not to mention that she frequently acts like Shiki for some reason and JUST WON'T DIE!!!! Same applies to any other boss from stages 6-9. <_< Though the stage 6 boss at least never manages to kill me more than once...
-
I'm still raging at patchouli WTF
I can't capture A SINGLE SPELLCARD and i still die to her non-cards =/
-
Also, damage is apparently determined by bullet speed
I'm 98% sure it's determined by spellpoints, considering hits I land immediately after getting hit myself always do an orb and a half.

Bold part for truth.
I usually compensate by going up if I get boxed in. It works sometimes... >_>
If I have Level 2 Spells handy, I would use them. Fairy Spam strategy is win.

These.
Also, you can always stop focusing, dash for the wall, then resume streaming in the opposite direction.

Game over at Yuyuko
5 seconds to finish the timeout...
if only I hadn't bombed so much her two last spells...
Well, if I hadn't i'd have died, so... :V
-
no no no goddamnit NO
Despite a loldeath at Stage 5 Tewi, I manage to get through Aya with only a single death, and NONE AT ALL on Yuka, which meant I had 85 million points and 3 lives going into Shikieiki.
Game over. 89.7 million. Also, I couldn't beat her with three lives in stock.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAGH
-
Rank. MS Rank. Yumeko's EVERYTHING at MAX RANK. Figure out the rest.
-
Came into Stage 4 (EOSD) with five lives. (Lost one to stupidity vs. Perfect Freeze, One to the FINAL PART OF CHINA, Right as she went down.) Felt plenty good.
Missed the bomb on Mid-boss. Got to Patchouli with 2 Lives.
Got past her -still-, With nothing but 9 thousand to the next life. My death?
'Hey theres a bunch of point items up there and its past that shot sp- OH GOD CIRCLE OF DE-' 'Would you like to continue? Y/N'
*head desk*

Ran's 8-7, Shoot the Bullet.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAGH
I've gotten to Shikieki on Normal with three lives left several times. Invariably get slaughtered.
-
Why can't I get past Stage two without dying in any game?
What's wrong with me? I've been like this for a week.
-
This is bad.
I don't have any strategy for staying alive on Shikieiki. I can only hope to get to her with at least three lives, if not four, and hope she screws up faster than I do on the last life.
Also, lolAya knocked me from full health to last hit in ~4 seconds. But I did beat Yuka again without dying! Secret to Yuka is to go crazy aggressive; her low movement speed means she falls quickly. At least, I think?
-
I'm 98% sure it's determined by spellpoints, considering hits I land immediately after getting hit myself always do an orb and a half.
This is affected by the type of object you collided with and the intensity of the collision, whether it was a brush or a total collision.
Yeah, so if one of the "brometeors" or whatever you call it hits you straight in the face at full speed, you're most likely losing 3 orbs.
-
I did some MoF stage 6 grinding earlier today trying to time out Kanako's opener. The only thing I managed was 2 deaths (and only once), and I am also now permanently crosseyed. BoWaP wishes it could be a tenth as headache-inducing as that fucking pattern.
-
I've had my fair share of deaths as something is ending, but this...I died on Vajra the very INSTANT it ended. It wasn't a split second before, it was ON the very millisecond it ended. -_-
-
Oh today is simply the worst day.
I can't get past ANY second stage without dying...
Cirno, Chen, Mystia, Parsee.... ARGH
-
Koishi.
Died on her first card.
Thought "OK, I messed up, but how bad can it get?"
Died TWICE on Danmaku Paranoia.
Ragequit.

I'm going to call absolute bullshit on that, especially considering the wiki's pretty good at being wrong.

Another game over at scarlet gensokyo! >_<
-
I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO close to capturing Greatest Treasure on Lunatic.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-
-
I'm going to call absolute bullshit on that, especially considering the wiki's pretty good at being wrong.
From my personal experience, even an early hit costs me a lot of orbs.
-
seriously, is Hard Youmu harder than Lunatic Youmu?
I just captured her midboss SC, first SC and last SC on Lunatic, where I never did on Hard... Only missed Azura Sword
On Lunatic the bullets move much faster but they open up paths that they don't on Hard...
wtf?
-
Marisa, why do you hate me so? You're the only one I can't get past Devil's Recitation with ..... /sadpanda

Those three deaths?
Yeah, they were all in the last 20 seconds. :'(

Rage is getting run over by a fairy during the Stage 4 UFO Midboss

I can't fucking believe this...
I keep dying in stupid places in stages 3 and 4!!!
I'll never 1cc any other games in my life simply because I can't focus long enough to finish a game :/

Don't reset if you die on st3 or 4 in a stupid way. It only causes more rage which overall reduces your 1cc chances.
On my SA Hard 1cc, I've died on st3 and bombed a lot of spellcards and still got through, even though BoWaP killed me 2 times.
Same for UFO. 2 deaths on st3, bombed 2 times st2 and died on Kogasa, but still reached Byakuren with 6 lives.
-
I've 1cc'd MoF lunatic after dying 3 times in stage 2. The point is, never give up a run unless you really can't take it.

What I find more RAGE-inducing than losing your last life there is NOT losing your last life there.
You get hit immediately after you get up, and die the same way all over again.

Died taking this screenshot :V
Looks like I'll be attempting a ND1/2B run in the future.
Oh, and I can see HUGE differences between MS Post-Mid and EoSD Post-Mid. One has a crapload more random bullets and evil, fast 3-way (Lunatic) bursts. Which are ironically only a nuisance during the stage.
-
I captured Yuyuko's last spell once. ONCE. During my Lunatic clear.
The game didn't let me save replay afterwards.
And I couldn't capture it again.
-
UGH. Utsuho is so annoying... I don't know what it is about her, but I can't even get past Mega Flare :X
The worst part is that I know that everything before her is fairly possible on Normal, but I'll likely screw up over and over again before I stop being stupid on Stages 1-5.
-

EDIT: IN Lunatic run gets to Midboss Marisa's opener WHAT THE HELL ALREADY
EDIT2: WHAT THE HELL
-
Trying to not suck on EOSD. Have a good Normal run going, highest post 2nd-stage score yet.
Stage three die a stupid death early on, no-bomb my way through midboss. Enter Meiling w/ 3 lives and full bombs.
Die on non-spell.
Clip non-spell.
Clip first spell.
Rage quit.
EDIT: On a related note, when the hell did I start sucking on Meiling's first non-spell?! I used to have no trouble on it, now the last couple of days it's been clip-deaths and bomb spams. FUCK!

-
Personally, I find Meiling's first nonspell to be incredibly easy... Except on Lunatic. It jumps from being trivial on Hard to be "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!" on Lunatic.
-
Only marginally related, but I really wish people would stop telling me what shot types/characters to play as. I don't care if shot type X takes 3 times longer to kill the boss than shot type Y, if I want to use type X, I'm using shot type X.
-

-
I tried MoF Lunatic for the first time in months. After the traditional OHLOLFALLINGLEAVESOFMADNESS restarts, I die my first death with a power in stock on stage 3; so far, so good.
Die again with THREE POWER on the last two fairies before Nitori.
No deaths on Nitori.
Amazing performance on Stage 4; no deaths, get to Aya with 4 lives.
Get to Stage 5 3 lives, no power, 147 million points. Best run ever.
Die immediately; fine, I had no power.
Die with three power to random fairies.
Die with three power to random fairies AGAIN.
Die with three power on Secretly Inherited Art of Danmaku.
Perfect the rest of the stage.
I'm now 1 life, full power.
Die with three power on Moses' Miracle.
Game over with three power on Takeminakata Invocation.
GODDAMNIT

StB. 6-7. Dear god WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!!! This is ridiculous when the boss REPEATEDLY tried to ram you at high speeds in all different directions and HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DEAL WITH THIS?!!!!
Mima's charge attack is easy, she gives you warning so you can move, you know the exact angle she's gonna do it (straight down...} then she leaves behind some danmaku that's really easy to dodge. But this, there's no warning, and you have this cat bouncing off the walls and trying to bounce off you as well x.x
-

Chen rams you every other attack. It is confusing because while the WILL CHEN RAM YOU? pattern is a simple Y/N/Y/N/Y/N, her movement pattern inbetween parking for a bit each time is 1 jump/2 jumps/1 jump/2 jumps which can throw you off since she'll alternate between aiming after stopping and aiming after bouncing.
Stick near the center and she'll always do the exact same moves, making it a lot easier to deal with.
-
Yumeko at Base Rank is easy.
Yumeko at Max Rank is not.
The difference? The streams move faster, the knives move faster, and the opener can be comparable (if not more ridiculous) to Kanako's opener. When you have trouble outrunning bullets unfocused, you know things are near-impossible.
/me starts to practice grind Max Rank
-
I had a dream last night I was playing SA lunatic with Reimu B. I of course died on Subterranean Sun, despite having TWO almost full life containers (don't ask).

All I can tell you is watch a replay or youtube video of someone doing it properly.. It's pure memorization... She doesn't ram you everytime, so after you learn how to do it, she does the same thing everytime and it becomes easy

I entered Subterranean Rose with three - THREE - fucking lives and still haven't beat Koishi.
I HATEHATEHATEHATE EVERYTHING AFTER THE FINAL NONCARD!

Lost four(!!!) lives to Most Valuable Vajra. How? Ramming into bullets while circling. Every. Single. Time. Somehow managed not to game over until my other most-hated card .... Star Maelstrom.

Did you know that the bullets from Murasa's "Vortex" can carry over into her third noncard if you fight her in the upper half of the playing field?
Me neither. :V

Hey, look! I'm doing perfectly on EoSD Normal! What's this? Meiling? Easy.
hey, why is this hard?

DEAR LORD WHATS GOING ON

CURSE YOU, RAINBOWS, CURSE YOU.

Okay, seriously, is it just me, or is Satori's Nitori set more difficult than the actual Nitori set?
In MoF I can reliably capture, quite literally, everything the kappa throws at me. Satori's version of her set, however, is full of clipdeath and raeg.
-
^That's how I feel too.
I also have no idea how the hell to capture Nitori/Satori's Nitori's spellcard with the shiny blue bullets curving up and down. Seriously what.
-
I also have no idea how the hell to capture Nitori/Satori's Nitori's spellcard with the shiny blue bullets curving up and down. Seriously what.
Water Sign: Kappa's Poroca?
For Nitori's version its actually pretty easy as long as you can predict and keep your cool. And I'm not trying to be silly either, if you start to stress on it the difficulty skyrockets. Aside from that just watch the angle at which they come down and try to position yourself into the gaps (and don't be afraid to move upward if you spy a gap in the 'wave', because it gives you some breathing room before the next wave comes).
Satori's version? You got me there. Somehow my strategy doesn't help when she's using it..
-
I guess this thread counts.
So, I finally 1CC'd EoSD on normal. So now I am trying PCB.
I play PCB on normal, Sakuya B (The one that holds the knife pattern when you focus) and manage to get to Yuyuko's 2nd to last spell card or whatnot.
I figured I could use some practice so I played on Easy... I got to stage 5 with no bombs or lives left...
How on earth could I do so much worse on easy?
-
EoSD Hard attempt. Everything was going just fine; I had 4 spare lives when I entered Stage 5. I can so do this.
Then came 2 deaths on Sakuya's midboss NON-CARD and another on Misdirection. Jump forward a few minutes and here I am, repeatedly saying "BOMB" to the tune of Sakuya's song.
That's it. I'm not going to attempt a 1CC until I have Stage 5 DOWN.
-
Note to self: ALL (except for delay-streams and the ridiculously easy Final Phase) of Yumeko's bullets at Max Rank are faster than Reimu unfocused.
Two consecutive ND2B runs so far :|
-
So Evil Eye Sigma is still absurdly stupid. What's worst about it, though, is that I HAVE to have full power at the part with the green blobs to have ANY chance at all. Otherwise, that part kills me at least once and guarantees that I reach EES with at best three lives and yellow power.
-
Jesus.
Game over by SA Stage 2? I need a break.

The maid is now no longer cool.

VoWG with FOUR deaths and two bombs :( . 10th try I think.
Are there any way to clear the history ? It's 1/91 by default. Kinda hard to keep track of my failures captures this way :V

You can delete the score.dat file in the game's directory, but it'll force your game into a completely fresh start, requiring you to re-unlock any practice stages and extra stages you had unlocked (this is applicable to all Windows Touhou games).

ARGH tons of stupid mistakes led me to fail at Utsuho... Her stupid two balls that shoots bullets at you from both sides is impossible to dodge >.<, same with that merry-go-round spell card bajfdalhfda
Sigh it's so easy to mess up in SA...
By the way, is it better to just bomb to 0 power?
-
By the way, is it better to just bomb to 0 power?
Its better than dying, at least.

WHAT THE FFFFFF
I die to the stupidest things on all of my runs save for the one that I 1cc it. >.<
I lost 4 lives on Stage 5 before I even got to Sakuya, then I lost one on her midboss nonspell by accident...
And where did my other lives go?
One lost on Cirno's second nonspell because I ran into one of the SLOW bullets, one lost on something of Meiling's that was just stupid, one lost during Stage 3, and one lost on Lava Cromlech.
The kicker? I captured everything else save for Lava Cromlech and Sylphae Horn High Level. God damn it >.<
Edit: Jesus now I just lost all my lives to Jack the Ludo Bile. WTF

On "Fixed Star" you can sit in the middle of the rings of suns and just dodge the bullets no-vert.
Hell's Tokamak is easier to deal with if you move to a side; bullets spread out more, and you won't be so close to the suns.
-
I forgot until now why IN stage 3 is one of my least favorite stages in the series. Just plain annoying danmaku all around. I believe Keine, along with Alice (PCB version) and the Magic Stones are the only stage 3 bosses in the series I haven't perfected (yes Baity I even managed Elly once, on max rank to boot).
-
kogasa is a piece of shit and i hate that bitch
-
nazrin is a piece of shit and i hate that bitch
Fixed for my own usage.
I decided to just use a remapper and map my arrow keys to I-J-K-L and it's going pretty well aside from the times my character decides to fly to the side for no reason :V
I've been playing EoSD more often now, mostly Stage 4...I can do the stage near-perfectly (just need a bomb or two for Patchy) on Hard now, and I can do fairly well on Stage 4 Lunatic as well. c:
But seriously fuck Nazrin.
-
So, I was going into Stage 6 of my PCB Easy SakuyaB run with seven lives. Had a flawless stage 4 run, and did pretty good on stage 5, too. Felt pretty confident about my chances, which is good because I absolutely detest SakuyaB.
Then I died to Flowery Soul "Ghost Butterfly".
Three times.
Then I had a stupid death on Subtle Melody "Repository of Hirokawa -False Soul-", followed by a death on Cherry Blossom Sign "Perfect Cherry Blossom of Sumizome -Seal- when I know I hit the bomb button before that bullet hit me, and promptly got torn apart by "Resurrection Butterfly -10% Reflowering-" because of the goddamned red butterflies.
Since I never use continues, I figured that I'd switch over to ReimuB and do a practice run of stage 6, since ReimuB's shot type is similar to the shot type I usually have SakuyaB locked into when I'm focusing.
And that was how I discovered that my ReimuB clear has stopped existing for no apparent reason.

Yumeko, you are inferior to your successor Sakuya. Stop beating me down worse than she ever did.
Ignore PoFV.

Gee. I wonder how many times China can shoot me down toda- Four times? Gods damn you china, damn you to hell.

Yumeko, you are inferior to your successor Sakuya. Stop beating me down worse than she ever did. Ignore PoFV.
Actually I'd say Yumeko is a lot harder than Sakuya. Probably canonically more powerful to boot since she's a "top class demon."

What? Two deaths right as the danmaku disappears? That's unfair.
-
Actually I'd say Yumeko is a lot harder than Sakuya.
Was my post really worded that bad?
I'm saying she's harder than Sakuya, not the other way around (unless you count PoFV, because I use Reisen there and have to face her in stage 6 because of it, which means she's at her worst...). Yumeko was taking away most of my resources so I wouldn't have enough to kill Shinki.
The 'you are inferior to Sakuya' comment was at the fact I don't like Yumeko as much as Sakuya (though that probably doesn't say much since Sakuya isn't exactly a top favorite of mine, either...).
-
Sakuya the silent assassin is more awesome than Yumeko the mind slave.
Plus while I like Doll of Misery, SWR Flowering Night is better.
Somewhat curious after hearing so many people complain about PoFV, I decided to try it on Normal.
I lost. Using Reisen.
...what?

Baity how do you manage to deathbomb in PC-98 as well as you can in the Windows games? Every time I try to deathbomb in the PC-98 games I die and somehow end up bombing after I revive (i.e. a second or two after I press the button), requiring preemptive bombings to survive.
Its reasons like this I prefer to use Yuka in MS.
-
Baity, do you know if there's a PC-98 emulator that saves input files? (or did you have to record this while playing?)
-
Kogasa is almost as hard as Ichirin IMO. :V
I just cleared UFO stage 6 lunatic with no lives remaining. I love how I can beat this stage with one death sometimes, yet clear with none another. It's why I love UFO actually.

There could be a small amount of input delay. Alternatively, it's because in PC-98!Touhou you're more likely to react on a visual cue, while on Windows!Touhou you're most likely to react to an audio cue. It's been known that you react to an audio cue much quicker than a visual cue. Unless you're trained to be better at reacting to visual cues than audio cues :V
My reaction time is above average. That could be a reason why I deathbomb so well, but I doubt it. I know when I'm going to get hit (or when I feel threatened by an attack), so I usually try to bomb beforehand.
Baity, do you know if there's a PC-98 emulator that saves input files? (or did you have to record this while playing?)
As far as I know, I don't think I know of any (PC-98) emulator that saves input files. Besides, I don't think saving inputs would help; I noticed that the boss movements were random, as well as seeing some of the bullets fired (fairies and bosses) being random as well.
And I had to record while playing. Used a state I conveniently left at the start of Stage 5.
-
In PC-98 you have to death bomb from visual cues like Baity said. This visual cue is that you stop moving when you're hit. If you know to take advantage of this it can actually be a bit easier to death bomb than in the Windows games because it's impossible to react to it in those.

BOOOOOOOOOOOO
I decided to do a random Reimu run of MS Hard. Two panic-bombs for no reason up till Yuki and Mai, followed by two stupid deaths on Mai (one a spawn-death, stupid MS invincibility time). A couple deaths on Yumeko, I get to Shinki 3/0 and 9 point items away from a fourth life. Clip her second phase, get the extend after I die on the wings. Then I somehow die twice (another spawn-death) on Cheeto Lasers (DAMNIT I CAPTURED YOU WITH MIMA STUPID SLOW MIKO) and game over almost instantly on the second wing phase on a crappy clipdeath.
Man, that sucked.
-
oh yay, I love you, 6-2
you're my favorite kind of stb card: the kind where only the last picture is at all challenging, but one must sit through 40 seconds of tedious yet focus-intensive dodging to even attempt it
I am in awe of how well-designed you are
yep, that's it
-
I thought that I could play the PC-98 Touhou lagless. Apparently not :(
Also, I'm now 8/30 on Kogasa's first spell card, 2/25 on her second, and 0/17 on Karakasa. 1/4 on Nue's first spell card. 0/2 on her second.
That's not counting the number of rage resets from deaths on the first wave.
God I hate you Kogasa. You're so evil.

Its not just the damage output. I find that even with Youmu Solo it still takes an unconfortably long time to get rid of enough familiars to neuter the card. =/

since you have save states, you could do a test. Load a state, then don't make any input to the game, for a while. Load it again, make no inputs, and then watch if the game ran exactly like the previous run. It should, if the principle of "no true random behavior" in the game's code holds true for this platform as well.
http://tasvideos.org/CommonTricks.html
Luck manipulation
Video game consoles are computers. They do exactly what they are told, and will always give the same result when given the same input. There is nothing that is truly random. The only source of true randomness in games is you! Games are purely deterministic and depend solely on user input.
Learn to abuse this fact. You can affect anything that has an element of randomness in it, like monster movements or item drops.
Read more at Luck Manipulation (http://tasvideos.org/LuckManipulation.html).
input files don't desynch much in MAME, at least; it's even possible to playback input files, and then record them in video while the emulator is running. (so, it's a pity that this method can't, at the moment, be used for PC-98 games..)
-
Alright, "no true random behavior" applies if I use my current savestates (the one at the start of Stage 6 I have for practice / perfection reasons and the one at the start of Stage 5).
However, upon multiple restarts of Stage 1 (not using a state, but it can be safe to assume that I would get the same results as above) I would die at different times. That's expected though (well, for me at least), and I'm just putting it out there :V
Still need a way to save input files though.
-
Reimu makes it still difficult due to her horrid damage output.
Went and tried it Reimu no-focus. Basically had it on the twentieth try (screwed up on a pathetically easy dodge). Then I tried using approximately six-tenths of a second focused and capped it in two tries.
Yeah, Astronomical Loltombing. About the only way to make it REALLY hard is to do what Kefit did.
-
Yeah, Astronomical Loltombing.
It's much more fun to do it with Alice or Yuyuko tbh.
----
I had a great run of PoFV Extra going (I could have broken 1 billion if I didn't do anything retarded on Reimu) when my computer started slowing down. After getting walled and dying I paused and closed Firefox, hoping that would reduce the drain on the computer.
No, it slows the game to 20FPS. Reimu opens with a Lv. 3 and a Lv. 2 and the bullets blur together. I die again. RAGEquit.
-
So for some reason I stopped failing and did a PCB normal run, no deaths for the first 4 stages. I would at least expect a random stupid death on stage 4 (boss aswell as the stage) but I even perfected those (I actuall killed lily white and the death fairy for once).
Then stage 5 came, AKA youmu I-kill-you-now and lost 4 lives :V
-
Well, since there isn't a thread for minor annoyances i'll put it here.
I was playing against Koishi. Because of how almost everything in the stage is very easy i decided i was going to casually work towards a perfect clear of her. Then i die to Philosophy and perfect the rest.
Can u say meh? :-\
-
Curses, a no death run of UFO stage 6 was just spoiled by Superhuman of all things. If only I hadn't panic bombed on Devil's Recitation a second before I captured it...

This sort of worked for me in reverse. It took me many attempts to learn this before finally clearing it for the first time with 0 lives left. A couple days later, I randomly tried the stage to see if I could capture Genetics. I ended up completing it with no deaths. The best part? I captured everything EXCEPT genetics.

Died at Shinki's first phase. I had a perfect run up until Stage 4, and Deathless until Yuki & Mai. I died twice with max bombs there, which is why this is here.
Oh, and I had 50Mil Points after Alice.

Almost unprecedentedly good run- 20k with only one really stupid death up to China. Then double death to colorful rain. COLORFUL RAIN. Then typhon comes along- another death. The final two deaths came to random shots in the fourth stage. Good run ruined.

Two epic fails today
Orin >:(
And the most important, Kaguya... FFFFFFFFFFFFFF Died at Hourai Jewel. i went in with 3 bombs, but I didn't last long... Why does her HP takes so long to start getting lower?
BTW I really feel like my skill quickly went up these last few days, I've 1cc'd three games on hard and almost 1cc'd IN in my first try today, even though I haven't touched it for... weeks? oO

Oh Hi Yumeko, I have 4 lives and 1 bomb

Hooray!

Reimu's opener; bomb spam AHHHOOOOOOOOY!!!
Also, Stages 3 and 4 stage portions are ridiculous. I might have to consider shotgunning the fairies from inside the circles.
EDIT: Bombs do 0 damage.
Geez, even Solo Yuyuko was easier. Must be because of the familiars blocking my shots.
-
I...um...wow.
I just failed a Normal 1cc on IN with the Netherworld Team on Swallow's Cowrie Shell.
I got to Reimu 6/5.
I got to Stage 5 0/2.
Ummm...what?

...Tried EoSD Lunatic. Perfect stage 1. Three bombs no deaths stage 2. Game over stage 3. What.

Got VoWG down to a 6-death timeout. Still not better than my 5.
Of course, in two runs and 14 deaths, all but 3 were to red waves. RED. I always die on blue or teal waves, what the hell are the red ones doing killing me?
EDIT: WHAT THE HELL, I barely even got the timer to start on that one! WHAT THE CRAP WHAT THE CRAP COME ON GAME CUT THE CRAP
EDIT2: Much better.
-
What. Just... WHAT. I'm not sure if this is rage or what, but...
One SINGLE run of EoSD Normal mode. During it, I went from perfect everything before Koa, to dying three times (INCREDIBLY stupid deaths mind you) before Patchy after Koa and being on last life upon reaching stage 6, then reaching Remi's last nonspell last life no bombs and CAPTURING SCARLET SHOOT?! What. The. Hell. Of course, failed Scarlet Gensokyo almost instantly, but still... What the heck is with this run? O_o

BLARG. First time getting to Q.E.D. I realized that I DON'T KNOW WHERE MARISA'S HITBOX IS FDHASGKLALFKDSHAFLAHFAS. Lost three lives with 3 bombs each. T_T T_T T_T T_T T_T T_T
Then I tried EoSD Hard to try and fix my weird finger positioning (don't ask). Good stuff... Died twice to Cirno, accidentally bombed nothing at the beginning of stage 3... Died multiple stupid deaths, then I got to Patchy. WTF LOL she's so easy compared to MarisaA.
Then I died to Sakuya's opener.
On the flip side I accomplished/learned two things from my experiences. First, I almost had a 1:1 death to bomb ratio at 11:9. Second, my learned thing is that using the most powerful character makes you suck at the game. Never using MarisaA or her equivalents ever again.
-
...EoSD Hard. Marisa A. I was TWO SECONDS away from a no deaths, one bomb Patchy battle. Then I die stupidly... With two bombs in stock... *sob*
EDIT: Reach stage 6 with three lives left. Lose two of those to the stage, (Yep) capture opener, capture Young Demon Lord, capture second nonspell, bomb Needle Mountain, PoC, get insta-knifed. Gaah...

Unseasonable Butterfly Storm.
I can't check the numbers on it right now, but I'm pretty sure I'm coming close to 0/60 now, many of those due to stupid deaths where I expected a butterfly coming at me to go by me instead.

Tried EoSD Hard again. It ended at Vampire Illusion with me cowering at the bottom of the screen with no lives, and no bombs as a wall of red loomed above, slowly making its descent.
Oh yeah, the spellcard had 3 pixels of life left when I died.
I need to play some of the other games before I stop playing this one all together.

There was this time when I could capture LFO on Hard fairly consistently.
But now my eyes cannot keep up with *that one spell's pattern* anymore ;_;

Oh I'm slowly deciding that Orin Hard is the devil!
Holy sh.. i get to Orin with only one death in the game so far.
I lost SIX lives to her... God damnit where are my bombing skills? ;/

I have no idea what happened to me since yesterday
I was able to perfect IN until Marisa and then make it to Hourai Jewel three times.

It is the same law that says everyone will fail a SWR lunatic 1cc when Tenshi's last spell card only has one more hit at least once.

I hate Hourai Elixer's green bullets SO MUCH
So do I, any spellcard with that especially including Suwako's final one. I just don't get how people find those easy considering how easy it is to mess up. The corners do make the Hourai Elixir one easier, but if you try it on Suwako's final, you'll probably end up timing the thing out.
And Lunatic Keine and not so much Mystia, quit forcing me to die or deathbomb as much. If I weren't so bad at them, I could probably get to stage 5 or even 6 considering I can do stage 4 with no deaths some of the time and stage 5 with one in practice, though in an actual run the bomb totals could be different..
-
Corners ftw.
My problem isn't that I can't read the bullets; it's that I'm using unfocused Youmu with constant firing, i.e. I can't see shit and I have only a vague idea where I'll end up every time I tap left or right. :V

I'd recommend doing it no-horizontal if you aren't already.
Attached replay, though I highly doubt it'll help, given how random the card is.
@Alex: With the Border Team it takes 3 repetitions to capture, with Alice it's about 2.9. I'd say the lower clipdeath rate is more useful.

And here I was told Alice solo did more damage against Mokou/Yuyuko.
And I find it hard to believe there's a safespot considering how random the attack is, he probably just got lucky. If that is in fact a guaranteed safespot, that's a pretty boring way to get the capture.
