Post each score as follows:

A little sad. Even if this stage isn't fresh in practice that doesn't qualify as an excuse for unintentionally breaking a few borders on her noncards.Now you know how I usually feel when, in a particular game, I die somewhere I definitely shouldn't.
dot_asp: http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=1016.msg43328#msg43328967k cherry with 3 lives remaining yield a mere 1,52b or something. it was a fail run, but creating a hope for me (first 900k+ cherry run).
And more questions about your latest submission. Practice stage planning, full runs? Was it a straight week of effort on PCB or minor testing here and there then a full run on a single day?The first 3 days were stuck at stage 1 and 2, and i was aiming for a full run. I had a great morale back then, after scored IN. But everything just went down from stage 4, if not earlier.
Were there any morale problems during that playthrough? For me, when I collect the courage to do a full run I let the mistakes run through and finish it. By then I'm usually fired up and can do another playthrough with extra focus. Then it's back to fooling around with other unrelated things.It was a roller coaster ride. I was nervous at early stage 6 (stupid death). Then i went perfectly calm like capturing Deadly Dance. But later my nerves were trembling on Repository of Hirokawa and last seconds of Resurrection Butteflies -80%.
better player
Heartbeam
...when I uploaded my replay, it gave me a link to a Sapz PCB Extra run instead of mine. Huh? ???it'll do that, use royalflare (score or replay is fine) or something
I know Heartbeam is preparing for this one (I hope).
.ASP, did you submit this? Is this person around? After checking with your submission the routes are very similar, and speaking of your latest submission I saw that you were a whole 72M ahead by the end of stage five.
leaving you not dead trying to collect the sacred bomb.A very precious bomb that increase your item value by 50k, or more.
You know how there's sometimes a cloud on the spawn point for bullets and it would generally be a safespot? The enemies shooting blue suicide bullets in stage four do that and it definitely works.
The ones before Lily White? Or after? For what purpose? I can't think of one sorry ???
Now, for something like midboss Ran and Chen's last spell, does it move down so quickly because the spell has low health as a whole?They have super armor or getting less damage (haven't touched extra for ages) for a few second, but at the spellcard transition they can receive full damage. In that case, I think the cherry/damage ratio should be same whether you exploited the spellcard transition vulnerabilities or not. For outdated strategies, defeating Ran/Chen ASAP is beneficial for saving time (... me and my thousands retries) and reducing risks.
Can't really judge the shotgun fairies because of that little mistake, but I find that a Duplex Barrier works best for the first two quad fairy sets of blue, and Evil Sealing Circle for the red sets because of the rate at which they drop down. Actually, after saying that I may be wrong. Duplex Barrier may be right for all the sets. Nevermind, now I remember why I don't use Duplex Barrier all the way.

a lot easier than IN and EoSD, though i died many times with bomb in stock... also did it on first try
You're burning through a lot of Lunatic runs lately, aren't you? It seems barely a while ago you submitted your first Hard clear, or maybe I'm mistaken.
could you make what you said a little bit simpler?? i dont think my poor english could understand that... :-\

First 1cc, so I expect subsequent runs will improve significantly.
I see that everybody on the scoreboard has an extra significant digit on the slowdown % - how do I find that? It isn't showing up on the high score page.
I'm still new to touhou and taking any advice that you guys want to throw at me.
Vsync patch if you haven't already, and that's about it before going into specific requests. It was pleasant watching you chase bullets and you seem to have a good understanding of most of the stages. Out of curiosity, may I ask the farthest difficulty you've cleared?
I got a slightly better score (around 580m) with SakuyaB, but I'll let that one go for now... If my score is that close with SakuyaA, there's no reason I should settle for that score with B.
My first attempt at Lunatic PCB two months ago, and I was stupid enough to try to play without any focus.Yeah that's tool assisted. Submitting cheated replays is just moronic.
Somehow, I managed to 1cc and end with 4 extra lives... o_O

My first attempt at Lunatic PCB two months ago, and I was stupid enough to try to play without any focus.Yeah, no. I've had numerous complaints about your score submissions. Going through your post history, every post you've made here on MotK has been a submission of a tool-assisted run, presented as a legitimate run. Cheating in these is pretty easy to pick up on - did you seriously think all these wouldn't be noticed? It's plain to see that you have no idea what you're doing in the replays.

Need to make less mistakes to be at least number 2-5Hey now, don't let Heartbeam push you around like that! Go for that #1 spot!
Possibly the first Finnish player to break 1B?Let's have a Finnish Championship, then :V

Congrats ! I really proud on my first pcb 1b score ,too ~!Thanks! And fixed :V
ps. You forgot to change ReimuB - normal to Hard :3
I still have no idea what the fuck are HS and Heartbeam doing during Chen's penultimate card.
The rest of Alice goes quite well, while I falter a bit with the latter cards. Especially Alice's second card. I just can't get the grasp of the PoC trick here. Or maybe I'm too much of a coward to try. Whichever it is, I'm losing some precious points there.
I somehow fail either pre-Lily or post-Lily, or both, on every full run.
The another bad thing is, that I just don't understand how to get all the fairies during the pre-Prismriver spam.
I still save the cherrycount by breaking a border during Youmu's final card. It's only a spell bonus I'm losing
But of course I do care, this is my playing, best I can pull off. Special for me.
Please tell me it's because you haven't tried to study it and not because you can't figure it out.I tried to understand it and copy it a bit sometime during the winter. I tried once again and it seemed a bit more understandable. I have still been avoiding it, since it would take effort to learn. And since I feel like my targets (1.4 and 1.5) could be achievable without it.
Only like four and a half million. Less since you caught some. It's been a low priority for a while for me; as long as you pick up the cherry items (which you did).Yeah, my focus is to gain cherryitems, since losing a border would be rather bad. It still is pretty hard, since ReimuA tends to home to Alice and I am not sure if I am ending the card at the right place. Has worked okay this far. Maybe I will improve my performance at it once everything else has been done with my route.
Don't know if that's supposed to be categorized under human error or incomplete planning.Both. I am certainly not sure of the border during Lily, and the breaks after it. I do know where to break them, but the stress of a real run makes my timing falter. Stupid.
Doable, but I wouldn't worry too much about the first red wave with Reimu-A, and you should be focusing on grazing for the second one (although you could try both, but again, I don't think it's for Reimu-A to pull off). Staying on one side for the blue waves works (just take the first one out sooner), or you can do what the non-homing shot types do.I am really bad at the non-homing routes for stage 4. Focus on grazing... yeah. I probably could. I tried doing some funny stuff with the 'death fairy' in stage practice, but it felt stupid and failed anyway. Some grazing could be learned, I will look into it.
I would have held on to it. A spell bonus plus the border, and that should outweigh the few point items dropping from the first fairy swarm if you don't POC. I could be wrong.I would not be able to gain a border for the spam in time, I think. And PoC kills me every time I try it on a full run, I cannot do it consistently even on stage practice. Bombing on ReimuA..... I would not think it would work with that 'high' cherry values. And I would like to play without bombs, anyway. You know the shot and the game better, though. So I am more likely wrong.
Good to know you ended the post on a higher note.Good to know it did not feel stupid. It certainly felt wrong to think so much of so bad scores compared to yours. However it felt important to me, so I wrote about it anyway, whether it was embarrassing or not.
my keyboard will not respond if I press the buttons too quicklyI get that, too. Probably not as bad as your case, though. Then I cross my fingers for a tiny tap but not too tiny that it doesn't fully steer clear of the snowballs.
I'll need a better keyboardScissor-switch goooo! Well I know dot_asp does just fine with something else. Actually, the taps sucked this run. And I went to POC for full power because I missed the falling item for the first time ever (rather than move down chasing after it?).
Scissor-switch goooo!It's possible that I'm already using one of those, actually. Whatever a Lenovo ThinkPad has. Of course, being a laptop keyboard, it's probably a lot worse than what it should otherwise be. In any event, I'll have to do something about it. I'm not sure if it's gotten worse recently or what, but it's pretty ridiculous. That's not even considering the occasional shift and left arrow keys sticking, which has been a problem since I started playing.
Scissor-switch goooo! Well I know dot_asp does just fine with something else.No, I cannot live without mechanical switches.
Extra - Sakuya AYou shouldn't put a C there unless you cleared the stage. It should be a 1 instead.

Logitech Deluxe 250 is glorious. Really cheap ($20 or so) and it's probably the best keyboard I've ever used. I highly recommend you two grab one ;3.Ah, thanks for the recommendation. I'm going to see about getting one over the weekend. (Kind of a late reply, I know.)
You shouldn't put a C there unless you cleared the stage. It should be a 1 instead.Sorry about that its just that this was my first score post and I saw others put it up but I wasnt sure what it meant sorry for the problem.

I don't think it would be wise of me to start a new topic here, so I thought I'd post here. Going to cross my fingers this is okay to post anyway.Yeah, it's fine to bump the score threads no matter how long it's been. It's not at all uncommon for them to go a few weeks without submissions.

Side note, I think my normal ReimuB score should be above omgdmp.Thanks for pointing that out. It should be fixed now.
