I tried a random run of UFO Lunatic. Died two times on Stage 2 and carried on for the hell of it. I then died at least three times on each of the next three stages, mostly with full bombs in stock and still made it a reasonable way through Shou.
I swear this game is purposefully trying to piss me off. @_@

Not Touhou strictly, but is it possible to make a sloppy 2cc of Hibachi? :( Because if so, I did it.
-
-THE HELL?!
In order to get through Cirno without dying, I had to bomb four times, including twice on PERFECT FREEZE, but at lea-OH WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN I DIED AS DIAMOND BLIZZARD CLEARED
All right, all right, I'll keep going. Get to midbo--WHAT THE HELL THAT WAS NOWHERE NEAR ME WHAT THE CRAP
OK, fine, two bombs lost, midboss China's ope--OH SERIOUSLY WHAT THE HELL IS THIS
Two more bombs lost, I don't know why I haven't ragequ--ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR GODDAMN MIND WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST HIT
...then I ragequit.
That was the best run of the day.
-
Just had another 3 deaths to Yuka run game over on Reimu then another one end up at Shikieiki with a few million from the next extend while on my last life. That obviously didn't go well.
Edit: And I can't do the scoring method for Possessed by Phoenix phase 2. I either don't tap fast enough, or I tap too fast and get walled before the phase ends.

I think I got hit once
so why did I just lose three times to Aya again

Maaaaan, I remember when LFO was one step away from being trivialized by me. I had the route ALL planned out, even captured it in my lunatic 1cc...

Wut.

Wut.
There's a difference between luck and skill :V
I'm mostly just jasldfuoiewfjkdsljfsd-ing over the post-second midboss Alice portion of the stage, Hanged Hourai Dolls, and Benevolent French Dolls.
Benevolent is bullshit either way and completely luck-based for me at this point, but I feel like I should be much better at HHD and the stage portion just makes me cry :(
-
PCB Phantasm.
Why the fuck can't I clear this stage yet? Seriously. I just had a run where I captured all cards up to Butterfly Temple or whatever it's called - and that's a real oddity for me - and then I was dead before Boundary between Humans and Youkai ended.
I can nearly perfect the stage segment (A couple bombs are usually necessary) and can handle Yukari very well up to Butterfly Temple so AAAGGHGHGAGHAGGHHHH

You can't beat it...
I can't even beat a simple umbrella..
this is a sad day...
mew77 has trouble beating an umbrella!!
What has the world come to!!
Correction...I finally beat kogasa on Easy mode!!!
Then brofists and lasers knock me down.
Then I try playing SA...
And wouldn't you know it, I actually beat parsee on easy mode!!
small YAY moment.
Stage 3 also known as, where the forks are them lasers coming from argh splat
Abbreviated as WTFATLCFAS.
Hey, if I say it enough times maybe it'll catch on.
WTFATLCFAS!!

Failed EoSD extra for the first time in ages, though primarily through me being in a rage and determined to capture QED or die trying after getting walled on THREE DIFFERENT CARDS and NOT BOMBING.
-
Correction
Where the FORKS are them Bullets Coming from ARGH Splat boom
WTFATBCFASB
Catchy huh?
It was once said...Touhou is like standing in the rain except your umbrella has turned against you and is now shooting many colorful bullets at you. The rain is coming down in 7 colors, but you're not getting wet, you're dying.
KOGASA...You and your colorful cascades of confouding craziness are just...
ARGH words can't describe this frustration.
-
How many times is Mokou going to run into me while I'm trying to supergraze her opener? Most of my scorerunning attempts get ended when I don't perfect keine, and if they get past her, I never capture the death fairy. Thankfully I almost never lose a run to getting a bomb instead of a life. Then I keep messing up Mokou's opener because I can't graze it properly.
-
*gives mew a cookie* Well, I got killed by anchors. Anchors aren't even supposed to move. Umbrellas can move with the wind, anchors can't.
By the way, anybody has an easy way to survive through Kogasa's last spellcard? I did it once, but I can't do it anymore...yay for luck I guess.
-
The final card is static with the exception of the aimed shots, so you can memorize a path through it. I did almost mess up in this replay, but managed to successfully time the card out. Wish I could say the same for the other one I tried to time out. And I wasn't going to even try it on her first boss card.

Thanks for the cookie
I got nothing for ya..
Wait...I watched the replay of our skirmish.
It involved a frog nuke...
But really stick to the center at all times. The freaky attacks are to the sides, so just stick to the center.
More correction..that run wasn't on easy mode it was on normal
Strangely all the losses to kogasa have made her one of my favorite characters...the heterochroma probably has something to do with it. That and the year I lost an umbrella a month... I got them all back later...
YAY for me!
it's hard enough getting to Kogasa's last card, let alone trying to beat it.
-
Koishi's hearts. Quit killing me with your love damn it.
Finally made it past her second heart one just to game over on Genetics. I don't understand these spellcards.
-
Two things:
Everything in SA Extra after the final noncard. Srsly, without spell practice I doubt that I'll ever have a perfect Extra. Literally. I tried it again for fun and EVERYTHING UNTIL GENETICS WAS PERFECT. That means no scoring bombs as well.
And the second thing:
Random UFO Stage 5 Normal run. Perfect. Again. Except for GREEN LASERS MADE OUT OF FUCK!
-
On the subject of UFO Normal stage 5 Perfect,
I just failed this 2 times in a row. Perfect everything until Demon of Purification where I die because I suck at that kind of spell. Vajra is mostly easy for me now.

I think I know why you all hate UFO so much! Because you're all convinced that Sanae B is the best shot type. I just tried a whole bunch of times and I have a harder time getting through stage 3 with Sanae B on hard than I do Reimu A doing the same on lunatic.

That's because 'nut is a Forward-Type specialist.
...and the fact that that ReimuA this time around is only "forward exclusive" (normal shots, bomb, bomb speed). Unlike SA, see :V
And if you're trying to use SanaeB like a complete Forward-Type Shot Type, then you're doing it wrong.

Ichirin. I hate the fact that the fists will cover the bullets.
As for ReimuA, I'll probably be doing my Hard 1cc with her once I get skilled enough, which won't be for a while. I don't want to risk ruining my 3/3 on Normal Vajra with that shotype. Plus, MarisaA is better for Extra than ReimuA is.
-
Hmmm... time to try UFO with ReimuA again, then. =x
Just tried a test run with ReimuA. Despite monumentally screwing up any kind of UFO chain past Stage 1 (I gained I think one life and two bombs total from UFOs throughout the whole of Stages 2-4), I reached Stage 5 pretty handily. Also, smaller hitbox = I no longer have trouble with Kogasa's last non-card and Ichirin is a lot easier; I capped King Kraken Strike on a whim during the run without too much trouble. I'll need to try some more before I can conclusively say I prefer ReimuA, but so far it's pretty much 'HOLY CHRIST I CAN DODGE BULLETS AGAIN'.
That's because 'nut is a Forward-Type specialist.
Considering that for every other Windows game I pretty much exclusively use forward-types (IN is a possible exception), I probably fall under that category too. I guess now I just need to re-learn how to do all the stages without spread. :V

One on "KKS. One on "Hook etc."
That's it? I don't see why you would need 7 more bombs.

I. Can't. Beat. UFO. On normal.
Seriously? Do you need to do that to me? WHAT DID I DO TO YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, MURASA? *cries*
I'm right there with you. My latest attempt ended with me being a derphead and getting a game over on Capsizing Anchor, of all things.
Yeah. Out on Murasa's first card. *cry*
-
Yet again, I die twice at meiling because the game didn't think I pressed the bomb button.
Oh well, I have 2 lives to clear the last level. I can usually do that. Clipdeath on stage. Bombed Eternal meek. Okay, I can capture all but 3 of Remilia's spellcards and noncards consistently. I might be fine. Clipdeath on opener. WHAT THE FUCKING HELL, I pretty much always capture her opener now, then I clip it.

Another case of WTFATBCMASB
I fail easy stage 2 quite a bit but I just attribute it to the insane difficulty of the games.
that and it took a while to get over my initial panicbombing habit...
After I successfully fixed my habits, I forget to bomb when I need to.
It's to the point that a die and then press the bomb button, rather than the other way around.

Partially true. ReimuA is superior, but UFO is bullshit hard. Maybe after I give each stage 100+ practice runs it'll look easy for me too, but at about half a dozen attempts I was at least getting deep into stage 6 in most of the other games, while UFO lunatic is unlikely to let me past stage 3.
-
On the rare occasion I make it past Cirno with dying, I'm practically GUARANTEED to die at least three times on stage 3. This time, it was FOUR.
Game overed before midboss Sakuya. I think I died once with no bombs and once with one. Every other death was with two or more bombs. AGAIN.
-
I realized that to 1cc UFO Normal would require me to not stupidly screw up on the easiest parts of the game.
And I used a bomb just 5 seconds before Flying Fantastica ends. Dammit.
-
Meiling only killed me once this time. Too bad Patchy killed me twice instead of once. Then I clipped or got walled by almost everything Sakuya uses.
-
I don't get why MoF is considered easy. Seriously.
I somehow always manage to run into a bullet during Hina's midboss card even though it's easy.
Stage 4 is made of bullshit and Aya is a bitch.
Sanae loves to throw WALLS at me.
Kanako is just cruel.
-
Which difficulty?
Bomb Hina's midboss card without any regret. It's better for your score anyway due to the faith items you'll get after it assuming you don't die too early.
Stage 4 is meant to be good for scoring since you can bomb for a lot of faith. Preferably deathbombs since you don't lose 3,000 Faith for those, but if you're just 1cc'ing, don't try to deathbomb.
I think you can memorize most of Sanae's stuff.
-
right...
I remember beating MoF with about 10 continues and marisabugged.
Considering I didn't know about the glitch until after I beat it, I still consider my run legit.
Stage 4 is part of the Where the Forks Are Them Bullet Coming from ARGH Splat Boom category...
However parts of it are doable.
It was through playing MoF that i discovered an interesting techniuque for dealing iwth streaming attacks. I just move to to top left or right of the screen to POC, but instead of coming down, I wait for the enemies to spawn and shoot homing bullets. The homing bullets are now aimed at the top and the programming will continue to strike at your last position, so then you can freely move to the bottom center of the screen and have a couple seconds of bullet-free space before they retarget. In which case you simply move to the sides to dodge.
I call this trick misdirection.
Also MoF gives you more bombs than any other touhou game I've played, use them..use them lots. I personally like to do something I now call point blank bombing. I blow off a bomb right beneath the boss as they declare their spellcard and then proceed to shotgun. This makes short work of many spellcards.
When I said I needed 10 continues to finally beat MoF, 8 of those continues were for Kanako.
Sanae's non-spells are okay, but her spellcards are just insane...
And my jetman score was so good...if it wasn't for the red lances during that part.
Her stage is a example of how misdirection can help you.
-
Just played a few SA stage 3 practice runs and. Yuugi's lasers in her nonspells are complete crap on Hard. Constant clipping and way too small a space to dodge. This killed me both with Reimu's small hitbox and Marisa's spread.
The lasers part after the midboss is also a lot worse.
-
You know i tried that stage on easy...
The gaps you can dodge throughare mostly nonexistant.
-
2 misses before stage 4 PCB, 2 more on stage 4, and one last miss while doing Live Poltergeist. The sisters ate point blank Duplex Barrier before I ragequited.

2 deaths and game over...on Jack the Ludo Bile?

IN Extra scorerun attempt.
Get killed by death fairy.
Mess up Mokou opener grazing and have to deathbomb.
Die with bombs on one of the nonspell. Also have to deathbomb a lot more than usually happens due to screw ups.
Mess up Hollow Giant Woo right when I was about to capture it. Mess up Phoenix Tail when I was about to capture it. Clip something on the Volcano. Since I can't do the streaming phase 2 right on Possessed by phoenix, I decided to sacrifice the extra 20,000,000 or so and do circles, and I get hit right before the second phase ends.
Hourai Doll sucked a lot more than usual as I can usually capture it now. Die, deathbomb, deathbomb, die, deathbomb, deathbomb, game over when she was almost defeated.
-
*enters st6 with 3 lives and 3 bombs*
*game over on scarlet meister again*
perfect st1 and 2
clipdeath midboss china, clipdeath something else, both with full bombs
I've hit my keyboard so hard that the spacebar flew out
-
Now I either don't perfect Keine or I die before the death fairy.
I don't even know how to properly get all the point items from the stuff before the death fairy part, so I have to bomb a lot to get them.
-
MoF Hard 1cc attempt- I made it 2/3 of the way through VoWG.
Maybe I could have done it if I hadn't died TWICE on Diluvial Mare.
-
3 death IN Extra clear. Should have been 2 deaths, but I had to deathbomb on Possessed by Phoenix yet again right at the end of phase #2.
Also died right as I took out the HP of Phoenix Tail, so I got denied that capture.
Edit: 3 more messed up scorerun attempts. I know I can beat that Remilia solo score. I just need to quit messing up.
Okay, so I get a 3 death clear with Border Team and a 2 death clear with Yukari solo. How does that even make sense?
-
I can't make it past MoF stage 1 without dying anymore.
-
Lost count of the number of deaths on stage 1 and 2 or EoSD.
I got out of them without dying I think a total of 5 times in around an hour and a half.
Three of those runs had me die three or more times on Stage 3.
One had me get through stage 3 with only 2 deaths, but killed me twice on the streaming at the beginning of S4 with full bombs.
The last one now had my first death, no bombs, on the fairies right before boss Meiling (where the hell are you supposed to dodge that, anyway?). Best of the day...right up until I clip her opener with full bombs, have to bomb it anyway, then die on her next noncard with two bombs.

-
I played horribly today. More like, everything was straight outta Clipdeath City. When first trying to pass SA Stage 6 Hard last night, I could manage 1-death/no-bombs on Nuclear Excursion most of the time. This was just trying to beat the level, when I'm under even more pressure to do well. Now that I'm playing under more "casual" settings, I'm lucky if I don't get walled in 5 seconds. And the clipdeaths, the clipdeaths! So many of them! So much so that I'm beginning to wonder if I'm doing something fundamentally wrong. I even died three times today on fucking Planetary Revolution. Three times, despite it being almost exactly like Fixed Star! And don't get me started on Utsuho's second/fourth non-spell. Randomly oriented rows of danmaku making me believe there's room, when they suddenly close in just tightly enough to kill me...
I was aggravated so much that I decided to try Stage 3 Hard in a futile attempt to cheer myself up. I hate lasers. I really do. Why did ZUN think it was a good idea to let Yuugi stay in after the midboss phase, shooting bullets that are designed to squish me into a laser? And why is her last spell now walling me every time no matter what I try to avoid getting walled?
I need to not play Touhou until after Christmas...
-
GODDAMNIT ALL
I finally managed to get a good run going - got to Stage 5 with three lives, only to clip while HAMMERING the bomb button right before midboss Sakuya with two bombs in stock, then clipped her opener with full bombs. Still made it to Vampire Illusion, but those extra 5 bombs could have taken me through into Scarlet Gensokyo, and maybe the 1cc. GODDAMNIT.
-
GODDAMNIT ALL
I hear you brother.
I can make it to st6 even on a bad run, but Remilia is basically a huge cunt(sorry Hele, but it's true)
Young Demon Lord is impossible at times with having both of the bullshit bullet types, the opener is clippy as hell, same for Needle Mountain, the pre-SM nonspell is also easy to get bs'd at and Scarlet Meister/Gensokyo are just plain batshit.
-
I don't get it. Really, I don't. I randomly tried PoFV lunatic with Shikieiki, her being about the best choice without being considered "cheap." I made it all the way to Reimu on my first try, but I knew immediately I wasn't going to win because I had no lives left. I really don't see the appeal of a game where your chances of success are measured by how many lives you have in reserve. In PoDD, even if you had no lives you had a chance of defeating Yumemi. In this game you may as well kill yourself right then and there. I continued twice and beat Reimu on the first life of my third credit if you must know.
-
Shikieiki actually seems to take a while longer then the other characters in order to take down enemies in Story Mode, although there is a big bonus in that you fight Reimu instead of Shiki at the end.
I find Reimu to be the best non-cheap character, especially since two lv16 lv2s in a row usually force the CPU to bomb or be hit since it dodges them all weird. Useful when the opponent has no gauge and would have to get hit. But even without that, I find them dying MUCH faster when I use Reimu then Shikieiki, or with most other characters too.
-
I knew immediately I wasn't going to win because I had no lives left. I really don't see the appeal of a game where your chances of success are measured by how many lives you have in reserve.
Get there with lives to spare. "Simple" as that. A player of your level should be getting at Shikieiki with three spare lives (or two and more or less guaranteed to get a third during the fight) without breaking a sweat, since that's what you get by scoring naturally throughout and dying once at each of stages 6, 7 and 8.
Also, in the same way that it is possible beat Yumemi on the first try, she can also whip you for half an hour and refuse to go down no matter how long the (up to 5) rounds take. And so can Chiyuri vs. quite a few characters.
Really, this looks more and more like a campaign of hate. Though it's... understandable. Being one-upped is obviously something you can't take easily.
But even without that, I find them dying MUCH faster when I use Reimu then Shikieiki, or with most other characters too.
That's because the AI is extra stupid vs. the ying-yangs, and WILL get squished between two of them, or between a bullet/amulet clusterfuck and one orb coming the wrong (right?) way.
-
There. Tried with Reimu.
...
3cc'd on the LAST life of my third credit. >_<

Great advice. >_> You realize that no matter my skill level, I can't dodge walls of pellet bullets moving at Scarlet Meister speed, right? Nor can the charge meter fill fast enough to protect me with a level 2. And it DEFINITELY doesn't help that the AI is a PoS that will not get hit even if it gets trapped inside of a level 2 spell like you NeoSerela said (I took the time to look, Shiki was inside of one of those, and DODGED OUT OF IT ANYWAY).
Also, in the same way that it is possible beat Yumemi on the first try, she can also whip you for half an hour and refuse to go down no matter how long the (up to 5) rounds take. And so can Chiyuri vs. quite a few characters.
But at least it isn't set in stone, so you can at least have hope. There's no "timer" you have to run down in PoDD, and that in itself makes the game more fun.
Really, this looks more and more like a campaign of hate. Though it's... understandable. Being one-upped is obviously something you can't take easily.
I...can't deny that. But I DO hate a game that everyone insists on me trying to like, that is dependent on the computer's whims rather than your skill, and throws walls not even the best players in the world can dodge regularly in the later stages. IMO, the campaign of hate is well justified.
-
[00:18] <theshim> sonofa
[00:18] <theshim> how the crap are you supposed to beat shikieiki
[00:19] <theshim> she throws walls
[00:19] <theshim> walls
[00:19] <theshim> and more walls
No, I'm with Donut on this one. You have to get lucky on earlier stages to stand a chance on the later ones, because I don't think it's possible for a human player to take down Shikieiki on the first life, and I have serious doubts about the second. That means I need at BARE MINIMUM two lives in stock to stand a chance, and three or more to have any real likelihood of pulling it off.

It's probably harder than GRT no-deaths, if at all possible. In the first round of the final stage, not only is Shiki "invincible" (as everyone knows), but the amount of bullets you face is also much higher, for whatever reason. I won't deny that first-round Shiki was very, very poorly implemented, but some people take this single instance of (very) bad design and rampant unfairness and treat the whole game as if it suffered from similar stuff.
I can 1cc it with half the cast 80%+ of the time, and about 95% of the time with my preferred chars (the 5% failure rate accounts for playing more than half asleep), and I'm no Donut or Baity or Jaimers or Sapz or Kefit or Veronica or bjw or any other freak of nature, I can't capture Scarlet Meister or Scarlet Gensokyo, I can't survive Asteroid Belt for more than five seconds, I still haven't captured all the Last Words (curse you Yukari!), heck, my reflexes are below average as far as I know, not below Touhou player average, below average person average, and yet despite all of this PoFV is stupid easy for me so I'll just make the "lol hi I'm donut UFO lunatic is easy" face at both of you.
[00:18] <theshim> how the crap are you supposed to beat shikieiki
The same way everyone beats every char that's giving them trouble: watch some replays and mimic whatever you see.
3cc'd on the LAST life of my third credit. >_<
If I remember correctly, the AI skill level resets every time you continue. I'd need confirmation on this, though.
Also, if you would (could - damn bug) upload some replays, maybe I could just point out what you could possibly be doing wrong.
-

Cirno replay. NOW.
(please)
-
You can't imitate what people do in replays because the game is completely random. >_>
I don't know why I just don't give up. I mean, it's not like I'm not satisfied with my Aya 1cc despite that everyone loves to throw it in my face. I suppose it's that damn sense of obligation I'm told I'm supposed to have...
BTW, Kefit said that he never 1cc'd PoFV on normal once. Just so you know.

HOW THE HELL DID YOU NOT GET HIT AT 6:05-6:15
NO SERIOUSLY
-
The.
Fuck.
I'm starting to notice some gameplay mechanics on my own, and let me tell you, that is...the biggest dick move ZUN has ever pulled. I never knew until now that panic bombing drains your entire charge bar, whereas doing it manually drains one level less. That is...just...fuck. That just pisses me off so much.
Also, you ever think that enemies coming from below isn't a horrible decision? Or giving you one second of invulnerability between hits? This game...is just irredeemable.
I got to Shiki with a life to spare, and it didn't make a fucking bit of difference because of these flaws.
-
HOW THE HELL DID YOU NOT GET HIT AT 6:05-6:15
NO SERIOUSLY
Freak luck, of course. But getting hit wouldn't have changed much - I'd probably have avoided bombing that soon. I could have afforded the hit at 6:15, it was probably a better option but I was panicking - in the long run I didn't gain anything. At 6:25 I'd still be at least at the same 2 orbs and 1-and-a-half gauge, with a decent chance of 2 orbs and 2-and-a-half gauge.
I never knew until now that panic bombing drains your entire charge bar, whereas doing it manually drains one level less. That is...just...fuck. That just pisses me off so much.
Pretty much my reaction when I discovered it. And as with you telling me about ultra attacks in PoDD, discovering panic bombing put me on the fast track to (repeatable, beautiful, expectable) victory. Same with SoEW's double-tapping and half of HRtP's tricks, even the most "obvious" ones.
Also, you ever think that enemies coming from below isn't a horrible decision?
SURPRISE BUTTSECKS fairies are annoying but you get used to dealing with them. Your shots hit below your hitbox; the only occasion you'll get rammed by fairies from below is when you're charging in a corner; and if you're charging in a corner it means you ran out of room elsewhere, which isn't a good sign anyway. So, the better you play, the less you risk being in a position to get fairy-rammed. Corners are bad even without the fairies.
Or giving you one second of invulnerability between hits? This game...is just irredeemable.
WAT, this doesn't even make sense. How is one second to recollect yourself a bad thing? How is this different from, say, most if not all of PC-98? If anything, complain about how being hit while charging deprives you of the gauge bonus (even the full-gauge bonus when you're reduced to half an orb!), now THAT is something I want to punch ZUN for.
-
Three seconds = Enough time to recollect yourself
One second = Enough time to recollect yourself if you are a robot. One second isn't even enough time to charge a level 2 attack to keep yourself from getting hit by the rush of random bullets that hit you the first time.
PC-98 gave you a lot more than one second. Also, while PoDD did this too, it's more forgivable because there's overall less bullets and the aforementioned situation happens less often.
Really, if it were possible to like this game, I would have done it already. But I caaaaaaan't. =_= So I'm just going to shut up about it now.

BTW, Kefit said that he never 1cc'd PoFV on normal once. Just so you know.
A point which is worth absolutely nothing in this case since Kefit is not here nor is his opinion Word of God :V
I really like PoFV. I'm going with barret here, I think it's a great game with a few very, very glaring flaws (first round Shikieki being the most obvious). I've come close to 1ccing Lunatic a few times, alternating between Cirno, Sakuya, and Yuka.
I'll steal a comparison from our friend Arcengal: much like MoF Stage 6 is basically all about VoWG, PoFV is basically all about the Shikieki battle. You're pretty much guaranteed to lose lives in Stages 6 and 7 (although I've gotten through 6 without dying once and it will never happen again), but after a death the AI lets up noticeably and will go down quickly in the next round. I like to think of Stages 1-6 as a "collection period," wherein your main goal is to amass lives (ie spam level 2s :V).
I'll repeat myself from another thread: "Fun != Fair," because that's what PoFV is: you force yourself through the insane unfairness at times and come out on top at the end.
(I also like PoFV much more than PoD.D)
-
You forgot another reason that PoFV sucks: crashes when saving replays.
Thank you, ebarrett; one or two small insights gleaned from your video finally gave me the 1cc. But the replay crashed.

*PoFV hate*
*PoFV and UFO hate*
I'd just like to point out that I agree completely :V Because I must make my opinion known over and over again about how completely RIDICULOUS those two games are.

PoFV is a dumb game.
I've improved in Touhou a lot over the times I've attempted Lunatic PoFV, but my results didn't improve one bit.
I've tried Normal and after no deaths in st1-5, st6 Reimu was running for 3 minutes on her last life piece.
On Lunatic, I'd say that st6 is impossible in one attempt, same for st7.
St8 is a bit more manageable and Shikieiki can fuck off.
Worst shmup boss I've ever seen. Turns bullets into MORE BULLETS.
I can semi-consistently capture Q.E.D.
I've got through Hibachi's final without dying.
But shittyeiki is just WALLS WALLS WALLS AND INVINCIBLE AI OLOLOL
DELETE THIS ABOMINATION OF A GAME FROM YOUR HD
either make it so the AI doesn't reach invincible levels or remove the impossible walls.

I just wish I could play consistently.
Actually, if I did my absolute best, I could no miss all the way to before boss Marisa or if I was lucky Tewi. Of course, there's no way I'd repeat most of that. Mystia is 1 or 2 bombs assuming I don't mess up. If it wasn't so easy to mess up her first boss card, I'd memorize the thing and perfect her outside of maybe the Last Spell and if unlucky the final nonspell. If I no bombed stage 3's stage section, I could potentially no death Keine, but I usually get hit during the midboss card, so I bomb to avoid losing two bombs in place of 1.
Edit: Just lost to Koishi again. 2 deaths to her fucking heart spellcards. I can't play against those worth crap. Then a 1 death and lots of bombs timeout of Genetics because I can't kill that card, I don't know how. Then I game over on the second phase of Philosophy of a Hated Person because I got trapped.
-
Two deaths and a game over on the stage portion of UFO Stage 6. The first was with two bombs in stock and was because I was flying up the screen to grab the bomb item. The second was at the loleasy Space Invaders part, and with SIX GODDAMN BOMBS IN STOCK I COULD EASILY HAVE BEATEN BYAKUREN WITH THAT JESUS CHRIST.
Having said that, this was my test run (read: first attempt where I didn't restart on Stage 1 or 2) with ReimuB, so... that's encouraging, I suppose. Especially considering how I messed up Shou so badly.
...Also goddamn if I hadn't had that stupid death in Stage 2 with both bombs in stock I probably would have 1cc'd goddamnit goddamnit goddamnit

PCB stage 2 ranked #1 okay WHAT. Mmkay, I just listened to it while trying to not think about where it came from at all, its a really great song actually. But, is it REALLY better then every other Touhou Windows song? I also wonder where UFO music would rank on here, considering that I don't think I saw any on this list, so apparently it wasn't included.
Patchy's theme, Native Faith, and Satori Maiden ~ 3rd Eye all belong in that top 10 for sure though. What the hell at Mokou and Koishi's theme ratings though, what the hell.
-
Died fighting Byakuren on Normal. Of course, this is nothing compared to the countless complaints around here about Lunatics and Extras. Still, I can be upset, can't I?
Surprisingly, I'm not as much ragesome as I am disappointed for losing after getting so far for once.
If there's any rage, it's not towards Byakuren. It's towards TORAMARU, who basically murdered me and left me with only two lives for Stage 6.
"Murdered," yet left with lives? Hah! :U

I hit the 90m on my 1cc. For only the second time, but I can get the 70m one pretty consistently...
Level 2s, level 2s, and more level 2s.

-
This discussion would be moot if my FREAKIN' REPLAY had saved; I could've just uploaded that.
I'll try another run if I have time tonight, which I don't, but I might anyway. Of course, that'll likely crash anyway, but I'll try.
-
Makes me want to try again. I'll save that frustration for after Christmas.
I pretty much always hit 50,000,000 now. 70,000,000 not always. 90,000,000 never, but I've gotten close twice.
The idea is to use level 2's when you don't think you can dodge in order to preserve a chain. Also, lower tier characters will score better because the AI survives longer against them. All my highest scoring runs on Lunatic were with Komachi. Also use level 2 a lot if the AI is on their last life for some extra points or if you're at a full bar. Faster characters help to kill stuff quickly to keep the chain. Komachi really is good for that with her level 1 spam.
My best Lunatic Aya score was a bit over 30,000,000. No I didn't 1cc with her and I don't plan to now. I only got over 50,000,000 with Medicine once. Their brokeness causes them to have less lives to use, which is why I couldn't 1cc with them.
-
Had 5 tries on Shikieiki again; I only made it to about 75 million, but I didn't die on Yuka to even it out. Didn't 1cc, but I was playing terribly and I got killed by fairies coming from the bottom anyway.
I should clarify: spam level 2s once you get the gauge up. Firing them right away is going to get you killed, but later on they keep the chain going better than you can with level 1s and normal shots, and then become necessary for survival. I chained my level 2s badly on Shikieiki and got hit on a couple of easier dodges, so I lost my gauge; the trick is to keep your counter as high as possible, so the chain keeps filling your gauge as fast as you can deplete it. This works wonders with Cirno above all others because the freeze effect gives you much more time and yet more bullets to cancel into your gauge, filling it even faster.
...oh yeah, and the replay crashed again. >_<
-
I think I've hit 70m maybe once, if ever? Not on a 1cc, at any rate. Anywho, I just tried a random run with Reimu (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6596) to see how well I scored, and 1cc'd without hitting the 70m. Bear in mind that I managed to do this starting the run at something like 2:45am so my reaction time was way lower than it usually is, resulting in a lot of derp moments.
Isn't it great to know that dying more than once on any opponent means you have a zero percent chance of victory because low scoring me can't even reach the 50 million extend?
To be honest, though, you don't even need that; my first 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5504) only reached the 50m life and finished with a life to spare. Granted, I got pretty lucky, but still. :V
Past the first life, assuming you're using Reimu, you pretty much just want to be using level 2s and panic bombs. IMO, it's better to use the level 2s without waiting for the gauge to fill up, since 1. It allows you to hold them for when they're needed and release immediately, and 2. A constant barrage of level 2s while inside a cluster of bullets/spirits from Reimu will basically crush Shiki in a pretty short time period. My first 1cc had her go down in 1:55; the one just now had her down in only 1:39 (it was pretty unsatisfying seeing her go down that fast, actually... I had a very '...wait, that's it?' moment). :V
-

Wrong.
The AI doesn't get crushed, it simply gets bored of dodging everything.

Why have you not gone and died somewhere yet? Seriously.

How is that unsatisfying. I think it'd pretty satisfying to see her cheating ass go down that quickly.
-
I kind of like PoFV, it's hard, but that's probably that I haven't touched Lunatic's crazy AI yet. Extra is kind of fun though.
As UFO, fuck it, I'm one of those people that hates to use bombs, and UFO keeps telling me to use it to go through their shit walls that I think I can go through. I can't remember how many times I died on St. Nikol's when it is suppose to be easy since it is static, but then somehow I clip 2 times on it.

Just watched the replay. Let's go through what you're doing wrong. Get comfortable because this is going to be a long post. :V
- Your first move in any situation is to go to the bottom center and try to dodge everything from there. This is probably the worst thing you can do in PoFV; the bottom is a freakin' deathtrap. Move up as much as you can, and when under pressure (something that will happen more and more as you go through the stages), move in a U-shape to avoid staying in the bottom, and most importantly, from being pushed into the corners. When under heavy pressure on the sides, dodge up until you go past the point where the bullets can aim at your general direction.
- You're trying to basically stay in place and dodge everything that comes at you, because you're a top player, and your raw skill should be enough for anything, right? Wrong, because this way you must dodge 90% of the bullets generated. What you must do is actively chase down every single spirit, activate them and blow them up. Activated spirits are easier to destroy and reflect all cancellable bullets in a quite wide area around it; destroying/reflecting bullets and spirits is what fills your gauge and increases your score; you do the math.
- You're never using L1s, which, for most characters, complement their scope and helps destroying activated spirits (and fairies) which would be otherwise out of range (or which you are deliberately leaving behind for your L1s to destroy while you chase down something else on the other side of the screen). Reimu's amulets will bounce a few times while destroying enemies before fizzling out, which means that they cover more or less half the screen every time; they'll also go behind you to hit activated spirits that could otherwise explode at you from weird positions.
- If there's something hard to dodge coming your way and you have at least two bars of gauge, you're not supposed to try to dodge it. L2 away and reposition yourself (you'll probably be backing off while charging). Notice that "hard" isn't a fixed amount; you can be very liberal with L2s in rounds 1-5 (more on that in a moment), the same way you must be constantly evaluating your chances vs. every single wave Shiki throws at you because while everything can be considered "hard" you can't just expect to L2 your way through all of it.
- If it's early in a round (or if it's an early round) and you see a dense bullet "formation" which you can't figure out how to reflect through fairies/spirit destruction in half a second, run up to it while charging a L2. You'll gain back some reasonable amount of gauge, score a bunch of points, and raise your charge attack counter by one, which will help you later in the round, even if just a little. Word is that your gauge also starts filling faster the more you use L2s and above.
- The reverse to the above is, never use a L2 if there's not much to be destroyed around and you're not at risk of being hit. You're just wasting gauge.
- Never use L3s. NEVER. It has more or less the same effect as a L2 vs. the AI (nothing), and the increased destruction radius on your side doesn't get even close to compensating the extra gauge wasted. Two L2s are ALWAYS better. The only exception to this is, of course, when you absolutely need to panic-bomb. But being forced into panic-bombing with more than 2 bars of gauge is a bad sign and shows you've been managing your resources in a less-than-optimal way; it's often a sign that you should have used a L2 a few moments earlier.
- MACRODODGE goddamnit
Some other thoughts:
>> you should be at around 20 million points by the time you enter stage 6. if you're not, you're playing too defensively; there's still time to recover, though.
>> the 90 million points extend is extremely hard to get if you don't die more than once during each of stages 6-7-8, and very hard even if you do.
>> the 70 million points extend should come naturally, though, unless you're getting ridiculously lucky with Reimu and winning the later rounds too quickly. but then you aren't needing it :V
>> do your best vs. first-round Shikieiki; it's impossible to win, but it's also possible to make more than 10 million points in about one minute and a half if you get lucky.
tl;dr; pretend you're Santa and the spirits are the chimneys

Thanks for the help, but I've already failed in my ambition (beat PoFV lunatic by Christmas). I'll keep these tips in mind for the distant future when I give the game another chance.

I had a really good UFO run going, and managed to reach Byakuren 2/4 despite dying to Stage 4 Nue, Nazrin's Stage 5 opener with 4 bombs, and a load of other stuff. Game over on Devil's Recitation. Of course, I was annoyed and exited; and about half a second after I chose to quit I remembered that I'd perfected Ichirin during the run. Which, of course, I no longer have the replay of due to ragequitting.
Goddamnit, UFO. D:

Ooh, fate does not want me to upload a Christmas video. :'( Last night I recorded a 2cc of Hibachi, but for some reason Youtube refuses to acknowledge I'm trying to upload it. So out of anger, I go and record a REALLY GOOD Hibachi fight, and one of the videos (of course the one with the Crowning Moment of Awesome) is corrupted! D:
But today, I decided I simply had to do something, so I recorded myself playing the PCB demo. I 1cc'd it (poorly, but given the horrible input lag in that game it's a wonder I cleared at all), replayed the video, and...
The sound is 3 seconds out of synch.

GODDAMNIT AGAIN
Best run of EoSD ever. No deaths up to China, a first. Only died once on her, on Flower Dream Vine. No deaths and only two bombs on Stage 4; my best is a single bomb at the books, but that's still really good. Only two deaths on Patchy, and one was with full bombs on friggin' Trilithon Shake. Then...then things started going wrong. Death with full bombs on Illusional Misdirection. A few on Sakuya, get to stage 6 2/2.
Death with a bomb to her midboss opener. DEATH WITH FULL BOMBS ON ETERNAL MEEK. Get to Remilia 0/3, game over on Young Demon Lord.
Three deaths with full bombs. SO GODDAMN CLOSE. GODDAMNIT GODDAMNIT SERIOUSLY GODDAMNIT ALL
-
goddamnit it's contagious
EoSD lunatic. First death vs Flower Dream Vine, with one bomb in stock, by pressing "S" instead of "X" to deathbomb. Derp. No more deaths until Patchy, then it all went to hell - died vs. non-directional lasers, died with full bombs, died when 1% away from a capture, absolutely horrible. Probably died some more, I can't really remember.
Entered stage 5 1/1. Died to Illusional Misdirection after bombing it because I messed it up so badly I don't even know where to begin explaining. Then wasted the midboss Sakuya 1up AND the three bombs by AGAIN having my finger slip and press "S" to bomb on FREAKIN' JACK THE LUDO BILE which should be a 100% capture, needing to bomb would have been bad enough already. Still managed to get to stage 6 but game overed vs. Eternal Meek.
-
If I didn't die twice at the heart cards I might have actually cleared. Failed a lot at Subterrnean Rose though and didn't even make it to the 3rd phase of it. Oh, and screw Genetics and Philosophy of a Hated Person's last 2 phases. Genetics is pretty much a timeout card for me because I never get there with enough power to kill it and even if I did, I can't do it. And the survival likes to wall me.
Capturing Embers of Love for the first time ever at 0.xx power was pretty nice too.
-
Perfected SA Extra except for a death on Philosophy's third phase. <_<
-
Again denied a MoF lunatic 1cc at the last couple of seconds of VoWG.
Shaky run throughout, though - bombed Minoriko's first nonspell (!), bombed twice during pre-midboss-Hina stage 2 (!!), died on Broken Charm of Protection (meh), needed to bomb twice on both Spin the Cephalic Plate (forgot I was playing ReimuB) and Storm Day (WHAT), deathbomb on Yasaka's Divine Wind (WHAAAAAAT).... only started playing well upon reaching Kanako (even the loleasy stage 6 deathfairy had to be bombed due to leftover bulletspam getting in the way), and by then I was at 0/3.2 :(
Well, at least it was less awful than failing after reaching Kanako at 4/2.5 like I did once before.
-
Just tried a no death UFO stage 6 because this is suppose to be harder than EoSD no death stage 6.
Almost did it on my first attempt. Died on Superhuman of all things. I then capture LFO.
I don't get how this is harder. :/

-
I hope Jaimers is happy, because by inspiring me to get serious about UFO stage 6 no deaths he has sucked the fun out of one of my favorite boss fights in the series. As usual, I cannot have fun in this stage now until I beat it.
This wouldn't even be so hard if it weren't for the FUCKING first part of the stage. Those random shooters ruin so many runs it's not funny.
-
HRtP no-bombs. Mostly perfect stages 1-14 including a perfect Mima fight (who had been obliterating me repeatedly). Entered Kikuri (whom I obliterated in the last few times I played) with full lives. Game over on Kikuri.
-
I got a gripe with PCB. Why does it seem like ZUN really messed up sorting out some parameters (bullet patterns, speeds, etc.) that measure what we, the players, measure as "difficulty"? Easy Mode seems like it has way too many bullets on the later levels, perhaps enough to rival Normal, and to potentially unnerve those who are new to Touhou. Hell, even I felt uneasy seeing Youmu's nonspells the first time on Easy. Imagine a total rookie realizing he doesn't have nearly enough experience to weave through the sets of bullets, or better yet stream the arrowheads while weaving. The very dense and stream-prohibiting "Perfect Cherry Blossom of Sumizome" also comes to mind - I've yet to capture it on Easy because of the "cherry blossom" danmaku, but I randomly almost capped it on my first try during Normal Mode.
I have to play Hard and Lunatic before I can make judgments for them, so nothing about them right now.
-
PCB easy is dispropotionatally hard, yes. It took me much longer to 1cc easy than to 1cc normal.
-
dfjakajfds (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6648)
Some of the dumbest deaths I've ever had. I know I could have beaten Shikieki if I hadn't kept messing up. If I die one more time because Yuka was too slow to get out of the way...
Anyone see anything I'm doing really wrong? :(

Having only played Touhou for a couple months now, I can say that the Touhou games on Easy mode are comparable to other shooters on hard mode. Even stages 1 and 2 in Touhou games throw all sorts of crazy cascades at me. Just take UFO for instance...I just got past Kogasa in stage 2 normal last week. And I'm already feeling proud of myself for doing that much. Stage 3 downright massacred me however. In SA I find Parsee easier than Yamame, and then Yuugi comes and lasers me to death all the same.
As for what you say about PCB, I find that if a rookie tried to play Touhou like I did. Either he would get frustrated and rage quit or realize the game is above his skill level and try to get better. Personally, I still suck at these games. The day I get through SA and UFO stage 3 will mark the second milestone in my Touhou experience. The first being a 10 continue clear of MoF easy. 8 of the continues were for Kanako!! But I still beat it
-
HNNNNNN made all the way up to Konngara no-bombs. Then failed miserably. (after failing stage 19 miserably as well and entering stage 20 with only 4 lives.)
Anyone see anything I'm doing really wrong? :(
without watching the replay:
Yuka was too slow to get out of the way
so, yeah, protip: ditch Yuka
edit: watched the replay. BOMB MOAR. you're even getting hit with a full gauge at times, I'm getting the impression that you're waiting for REALLY TOUGH SPOTS to use up your gauge. now, if you have at least 2 bars, you have no reason to get hit except by some suprise bullet which you absolutely did not see, and the more filled your gauge is, the more liberal you can (and should) be about using it. keep ready to charge a L2 at all times, against anything that isn't absolutely harmless (if it turns out to be a non-threat, release a L1 before you've finished charging) and don't be afraid of being temporarily reduced to less than 2 bars - it certainly tops getting hit. it also helps with your score, and with getting the not-really-that-hard 70m extend.
you're doing fine with Yuka's "speed", though Shikieiki will always be a problem. and with Yuka having no tricks vs. the AI, you're probably needing the usual three minutes.
-
I've spent the last hour and a half fighting Lunatic Aya in PoFV Match mode with Marisa/Shiki. One round lasted for 3:42, and had Aya still be at full health by the time I died.
:V

Give up now..the AI in that game has reached the threshhold where blood/alcohol level is optimal for dodging skills.

Lunatic

There's your problem :V

Utsuho. Just.... ugh. I'll never 1CC SA at this rate...
EDIT: No Bananamatic, that is not your cue to give me advice on spellcards I've never heard of before. =V
-
I gave up on 1ccing SA. It's just made of garbage. Watching videos of SA Extra also influenced this because "Oh gawd what is this shit, this is made of unfair."

:V
Not only are you playing lunatic match mode, you're doing it against the fastest character. :V If you actually want to have a chance at winning, don't play against anyone faster than Sakuya, and don't use anyone worse at trapping the AI than Marisa.
-
Match mode is BS etc.
I'm more doing this for fun and practice than to actually have a chance a winning, although winning would obviously be an excellent bonus. It's just so much fun to have matches that intense. I don't want to find ways to make this easier for myself; the fun is all in the challenge.
At any rate, though, I have managed to get her to half an orb on three seperate occasions with Shiki, so there's hope yet. :V

Nahh, SA is fair; it's just really, really hard compared to most of the other games. The main difficulty aside from the danmaku comes from the fact that bombs are really weak aside from ReimuC's; you have to be consistent at most things in order to succeed. :V

Her first and fourth I disagree with but can sort of understand; but Lunatic Subterranean Sun easier than Normal? Really? I can't see any reason at all why this would be the case; it's both much slower and much less dense. ???

Yeah it's a bit harder on lunatic, but it's not killer difference like Kanako or Remi.

I was trying to poke fun at the fact you keep using Hard/Lunatic names for me when I'm a Normal-mode player. >=E (Seriously, I had to look up what the crap Hell's Tokamak was supposed to be...)
And I can't even get past STAGE FREAKING ONE on lunatic, so I'm not going to be able to test that out anytime soon.

HRtP lunatic no bombs. Perfected Shingyoku. Perfected Mima. Perfected Kikuri. Accidental bomb on stage 17 with one card remaining. Gameover at Konngara because, really, wouldn't you feel crushed too?

On Christmas day I beat Imperishable Night's Extra for the first time (fairly choppy run but still...). I spend about two days gloating to anyone who cares to listen, then decides to move on and start working on PCB Normal.
I proceed to spend about 20 games dying to Letty, Chen, and once to a Pre-Cirno fairy. AHFIODSIOGHWIJ

Wait, what?
I just went from 5 health orbs to a half in the course of a single second.
And I died to Yuka three times. Had 50 million when I game-overed in stage 8.
I'm spamming lvl 2's like crazy and I still have this low? ???

I'm going to fucking cry.
I reached GRT 2/2...
I die with a bomb in stock...

If I die one more time because Yuka was too slow to get out of the way...
I don't even need to look at the replay to know that you're focusing too much. Her unfocused speed is perfect imo, especially combined with her level 1 charge to clear swaths of enemies and bullets.
-
SoEW Extra.
That is all.
-
I was doing this amazing Normal run of EoSD and perfecting Stage 5 (the stage only) so I get to Remilia, three extra lives and three bombs.
And then I die on her first nonspell with bombs in stock.
"Well, that was stupid of me, but maybe I can still pull this off if I'm more conservative..."
And then I die again on her first spell, Star of David, again with bombs in stock.
"Ugh, why am I being so terrible right now? I hope I don't die anymore, since this isn't going too well..."
There's one life left. I'm doing better now, bombing Scarlet Netherworld like I always do and then capturing Curse of Vlad Tepes.
And then I die on her last nonspell, the first phase that isn't streaming.
"Aslkdnslkdnalksn this is so stupid ugghh why must I keep failing"
Last death, Scarlet Shoot.
I didn't even get to Red Magic.
AAAGGHGHGAGHAGGHHHH
-
HRtP lunatic no bombs.
Got Konngara down to 2 hits left, after entering the final stage with only 3 lives after AGAIN messing up horribly on stage 19.
By the way: so many runs ending on stage 16. So many.
edit: got to Kikuri with full lives as opposed to 1 or 2 like in most runs. "Finally, this should be more than enough to allow me to play conservatively through 16-19 and guarantee a clear!"
Game over at Kikuri's first phase. :'(
-
Her first and fourth I disagree with but can sort of understand; but Lunatic Subterranean Sun easier than Normal? Really? I can't see any reason at all why this would be the case; it's both much slower and much less dense. ???
It's the same with many cards on Lunatic, as long as the bullets come down, and not side ways or any other bullshit, if it comes down faster without it being too random, it's easy.
The problem with Nuclear Fusion (1st Card Normal) is the blue bullets moves waaay too slow, and the sun bullets are less frequent, so naturally, you could winded right under the one of the sun bullets since you are too busy reading the blue ones.
On Uncontainable Nuclear Reaction (Lunatic), the sun bullets are launched one after another, so it sort of creates a zone for your eyes, so it's like "Let's not go there." The blue bullets are still dense, but moving fast enough so it is not a chore to read them. At least, that's how I see it.
Hell's Artificial Sun vs. Subbterrean Sun, same idea with the fast bullet problem, what you need to do in both cards is to let the gravity take you through the gaps and regroup. In normal, you can tense up since you can move away from your gap. On Lunatic, this is less of a problem.
PS: This reminds me of Ouendan, in Normal mode there, there are beats that are not 1/16th notes intense, and that becomes harder when you turn on hidden mode.
-
IN Lunatic. 2 deaths all the way up to Reisen. i still manage to fuck up and game over on Hourai Jewel due to a horrible Reisen fight, a horrible Kaguya fight. Oh deathbombing Three treasures Country sucked as well, same Lifespring Infinity. getting rid of either of those would have allowed a 1cc. Or not having this happen.
Edit: Actually Salamander Shield was a death.
1/0 going Hourai Jewel. Die, clipdeathbomb, clipdeathbomb, clipdeath.
I was so fucking close.
-

I don't think I've ever screamed like I just did. Trying to beat my highscore on UFO Extra, do the best I've ever done in the stage, die to the VERY. LAST. BULLET. ON. GRUDGE. BOW. Literally. Nue exploded at the same second I died.
Forget "Bonus failed", it should just have a message that says:
You Fail.

Best LLS extra pacifist run ever.
Had 4/0 going into Gengetu spark. Cue two deaths in two seconds. I even dodged a full wave of Gengetu spark timeout phase...
Still OK, still OK. I still had 2/2 left, enough for GRT.
*clip*
I'm this close to just uploading that run with 2/2 going into GRT and just say "screw it".
That was suppose to be a fucking clear.

Anyway, I just figured out the problem to the slowdown in T98 Next.
I tried to run it on an older computer with lower specs than my own computer and it worked perfectly. That computer had XP.
So the problem is Vista and Win 7 related. ...joyous.
-
I still had ridiculous slowdown on Next with my old XP computer. No reasonable reason for it either due to how low PC98 requirements are. I just blame Next for being crap.
Anex 86 works fine outside of no savestates, and I wouldn't use those on a nonpractice run anyway. Just need to find out how to record it.
Would be nice to get Next to be slowdown free so I could stage practice at full speed.

Maybe I should take a break from this.

Wait ... hard ? She's my 2nd Extra clear :(
I cannot capture those either, but there are always bombs.
PLENTY of them :V
-
Suwako is basically a gimmick boss, and after you realize the correct way to do her spellcards, half of them become easysauce. They're definitely autobombs before that though, and sometimes they might confuse you even if you DO know how to do it.
Kinda like Ran's first spellcard. Although, Suwako is more possible to do then that if you don't know what your supposed to do, and Suwako's cards are more complicated.

Did a HRtP lunatic Makai route no bombs test run.
As I imagined, the late stages are absolutely horrible for scoring, and not any easier to survive on than their Jigoku equivalents. If anything, harder. Also, Makai 19 gave me what, two lives for perfecting it - yes, comboing every single panel on the level gives you considerably less than a half-assed Jigoku 19.
13 continues, 11 vs. Sariel - and that's after watching Donut's video and realizing that her second form is a joke, and learning how to do her shooting star phase, and understanding how to survive the sweeping bullet curtain when it comes to the corner you're on, etc, etc, fffffff Sariel.

Learn to beat the first half without bombing. Once you memorize it, everything before Nazrin is completely trivial and you can get 4 bombs 100% of the time by chaining correctly. Then just use those four bombs to reach Syou, and you can do the entire stage portion no deaths pretty consistently. You're on your own for Syou though.

Wait what? Four bombs to reach Syou? Actually forming UFOs in the first half? whaaaaaat
I usually manage to make all of zero UFOs in the first half, die 12 times to Radiant Greatest whatever Treasure, do the 2nd half without bombing (except the very end), then either die or bomb to every single attack Syou uses (EXCEPT AURA OF JUSTICE WHICH I TIME OUT). Usually if I die to anything I'll bomb immediately upon respawning.
Of course, none of this matters anyway because I could reach Legendary Flying Saucer with 8 lives in stock and game over.
-
I can make a replay if you want to see how to chain those UFOs together.
As for LFO, I figured out my ultimate strategy! What you do, see, is you make sure the waves overlap as little as possible. Since they are made to concentrate on the spot they are fired, while staying as centered as possible, alternate between two vertical points about

Come on SoEW Extra, you're not supposed to be that easy, right?
That was no fun at all. Didn't bother with a screenshot; and I wasn't recording because of a routine Virus Scan, and didn't want to "risk" slowing down the game as I was playing. Powered through the Green Blobs as if they weren't there; guess I got a bit lucky? The fact that I also powered through all of EES' phases didn't help either (I only saw 2 cycles of each attack in all honesty; the last phase is a joke and really, really easy). Hopefully, it will be more of a challenge with another Shot Type. Like I dunno... Defense / Movement?
Posting here in advance that both of the above mentioned Shot Types will have difficulty with the Green Blobs, and will cause many, many restarts. I do recall Movement being able to penetrate at Max Power so it should be theoretically possible. Defense is out of the question though.
EDIT: induring... my fun, fun moments of restarting.

Herp a derp bloody derp. Finally got to stage 4...with no lives, of course.
EDIT: Three lives. Game over on Dipper Creeping Close. Helped that I died TWICE to bullets I didn't see with two bombs each on Sinkable Vortex.
-
Come on SoEW Extra, you're not supposed to be that easy, right?
That was no fun at all. Didn't bother with a screenshot; and I wasn't recording because of a routine Virus Scan, and didn't want to "risk" slowing down the game as I was playing. Powered through the Green Blobs as if they weren't there; guess I got a bit lucky? The fact that I also powered through all of EES' phases didn't help either (I only saw 2 cycles of each attack in all honesty; the last phase is a joke and really, really easy). Hopefully, it will be more of a challenge with another Shot Type. Like I dunno... Defense / Movement?
Posting here in advance that both of the above mentioned Shot Types will have difficulty with the Green Blobs, and will cause many, many restarts. I do recall Movement being able to penetrate at Max Power so it should be theoretically possible. Defense is out of the question though.
EDIT: induring... my fun, fun moments of restarting.
Just want to point out that you didn't say what you did OR what shot types you were talking about. Nobody knows them by "defense" or "movement."

THE A B C SYSTEM MOTHERFUCKER. DO YOU SPEAK IT?
You STILL haven't told us WHAT you did that you were disappointed about. :P
-
Reimu Type A
高機動タイプ (Movement Type)
Reimu Type B
防御タイプ (Defense Type)
Reimu Type C
攻撃タイプ (Attack Type)
He used C and was disappointed at how easy it was, according to my translation.
I think there was also a 'SCREW YOU I'M A DRAGON' in there but I may be paraphrasing heavily.
-
Yyyyyep. I refuse to attempt to no death SoEW extra until I learn how to do these "macros" and make it so that I don't have to tap the button. It's always so annoying because I suck at tapping buttons rapidly, and I can't tap it fast enough to do max damage. It's just as bad as Canary Mary! D=

I should've been a lot more specific; but I thought you would've gotten the message from the general feel of it.
Perfect

:baitydwi: (NTS: make one later)
I don't use any form of macro / autofire, just so you know. Because I personally think it's cheating.
-
Baity complains about silly things
Then do a no double tapping perfect. (Boss only)
That is sure to make the phases last longer.
Not sure whether the stage is possible no double tapping though.
Is it possible to pacifist EES?
-
Damn. EoSD just for whatever reason started with a huge load of lag. How am i supposed to do a Lunatic 1cc like that? >:(

I never noticed any different amount of bullets firing when I just tap it a few times a second, or RAPESPEEDTAPSTORM the Z key. Testing using ReimuC max power, because its really easy to tell with the red lasers.

Let's put it this way: Tapping my normal way I with Reimu C I can kill maybe two of the big power dropping enemies during the wall section. By kicking moving to the curb and putting all effort into double tapping, I can kill five of them. Considering I can NEVER get full power by the green blobs this is a significant difference.
EDIT: Also Jaimers, I'm not sure if it's possible to pacifist Evil Eye Sigma. I know that the first three bosses are able to be pacifist'd, but From a savestate I used to learn Mima's patterns, I discovered that no matter what, you can't time Mima out, so the same might be true of Evil Eye Sigma.

Yeah, I don't think it's possible. I was dicking around on EES's second phase without shooting and it just didn't end. I dodged like 10 waves or something and there was still no end in sight.
Also you only need 2 or 3 big powerups from the wall section in order to get max power before the green blob's.
-
Then do a no double tapping perfect. (Boss only)
Not sure whether the stage is possible no double tapping though.
I have a better idea. Screw the perfect Extra run that I was trying to do. This "new" one will be much more fun. And interesting. And no, you're not going to find out unless I can actually pull it off :V
Stage is possible without double tapping... but you have to be lucky about the spawns of the blobs. Really lucky.
EDIT: Regarding my "idea"; it works. It's "plausible".
-
I just died 6 or 7 times to Lunatic Eirin in Stage Practice, one of them being right when Astronomical Entombing ended. That fight is a load of crap.
-
My laptop can run Crysis without a hitch.
It cannot run the SA Phantasm Danmakufu script without lagging to 45FPS. :(
-
Wow, Evil Eye is a lot more manageable if you can reach him with full power. The difference between full power and yellow power is ridiculous, especially since bosses don't drop power items in this game (other than those set moments).
See, I have a problem spot in the stage: The part after the star section. I don't know why, but I have an inability to survive this part without bombing.
-
I use the left corner. You only need to move out of the corner when a "tumbleweed" comes down from the middle and shoots a ring; which only happens twice :V
EDIT: Also, requesting that you change your avatar to this (http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=7948171).

possible to beat lunatic shiki in match mode without broken chars y/n

Argh, I keep doing 1DNB runs of UFO stage 3 hard with Sanae B. I want to make a video to see if I can finally steer people on how to beat this stage (since convincing the lot of you to switch to Reimu simply does not work), but I keep screwing up in one spot or another.
EDIT: Screw it. How the hell do you people not realize how much of a handicap Sanae's hitbox is? The only reason you don't think it is is because you've never given Reimu an extended play.
-
can anyone explain me how do you play PoDD lunatic
EVERYTHING goes into your face
the stars, the whatever, EVERYTHING
Also ZUN LET US CREDITFEED YOU DRUNK FUCK
I DON'T WANT TO PLAY ST3 UFO 50 TIMES SO I CAN DICK AROUND IN PRACTICE MODE
-
I'd rather play PoFV. At least I can dodge crap on that. Lack of Focus + almost nonexistant bullet clearing + BS attacks are just no fun. I have no idea how I 1cc'd PoDD on Normal and got close on Hard.
Edit: Tool Assisted Slowdown? I'm sure it'd be very possible for even me to unlock the stages like that.
-
PoDD is fun stuff (though I had to 1cc it on lunatic before I truly saw that), much more than PoFV. It relies much more on your dodging skills rather than praying that you'll get off a level 2 spell before the game shits you out, not to mention the AI doesn't have that cheapass "lol I'll dodge everything you have until you lose once" mechanic. It requires you to develop a different strategy for winning than PoFV does, and for you to learn the boss attacks.

learn the boss attacks.
::)
Now that I think about it, I don't really care about Touhou that much.
-
I hate PoFV blargleblargblarg
:V
I don't understand the appeal in PoD.D either, to be honest. No focus is just nerve-wracking, and I've never actually beaten the AI, I think. Apparently it's much more "fair" than PoFV (as if PoFV even pretends to be fair :V), but PoFV is just fun. It's endless dodging combined with knowing when to bomb. PoD.D is just...ugh D:
I can see why you'd like it, but I'll take my Yukas and Sakuyas over your Ellens and Rikakos any day.
(PoD.D's soundtrack is awesome though)
-
Once you play it for a while you don't even notice the lack of focus. There are a lot fewer bullets in PoDD anyway. FYI, I 1cc'd with Yumemi, who is one of the fastest characters, and I HATE fast characters usually.
Anyway, AAAGGHGHGAGHAGGHHHH. I hate Baity and Jaimers for making me try and get serious about SoEW extra no deaths (though at least it won't detract from the enjoyment; there never was any in the first place :V). My success is dicated by whether or not I mashed hard enough on the wall section, Reimu C (the only one who can possibly do this no deaths) runs into bullets that anyone else would have outran, and now I've suddenly forgotten where to position myself to dodge the final section before the stage goes red. Baity, help? :< Screenshot preferred.
And I haven't even REACHED Evil Eye Sigma without dying with Reimu C.
*makes a note to use this rage to write chapter 3 of my story after revising chapter 2*

If that doesn't describe PoDD I don't know what does. The thing is that in PoFV it's much, much easier to know when to bomb; you should bomb *always*. In PoDD you must know when to eat a bullet - not when to risk eating a bullet, but when to choose to get hit with 100% certainty instead of bombing.
edit: another thing is that the fact that only 6 people in the west are know to have 1cc'ed PoDD lunatic should tell you something, three of these being Donut, Baity and Jaimers, and a fourth being a certain someone who's known for being very good at these games nobody cares about.
-
Lunatic Hourai Elixir 4 seconds left on the timer 5 times in a row. And before that I got it down to 3 seconds left on the timer which is very rare for me. I'm nearly up to 270 attempts on this damn spell right now.
-
where to position myself to dodge the final section before the stage goes red. Baity, help? :< Screenshot preferred.
Err... just stand still? If it's pacifist-related like what I did, then it's the right side.
Better hope that I'm talking about the right spot :V
-
It's the last spot before the blobs. A specific screenshot would be great.
-
So it was the spot I was talking about :V
(http://i10.servimg.com/u/f10/12/80/32/92/th/untitl11.png) (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=359&u=12803292)
Red cross is the recommended spot as it allows you to collect Power. Blue cross is the pacifist safespot. Ignore the fact that I wasn't standing on it, because it was a rushed job.
-
Fourth tile from the corner, got it. Thanks bro. o/
But you know, this time I got all the way to the preboss spam, when I remembered the hard way that Reimu C is SO slow she can't even do my method of dodging the attack (moving along the top). >_<
Good news though, I finally captured Evil Eye's last phase. The hitbox bullets have thwarted every attempt before now.
EDIT: PBBBBBBT. Another perfect Aya fight thwarted solely by Peerless Wind God. Well, at least I've mostly mastered Aya. It's funny to think there was a time when she was considered the hardest stage 4 boss.
-
If that doesn't describe PoDD I don't know what does.
...derp
how did i forget that :(
This is very true!
I still don't see the appeal in PoD.D; maybe I never will. I just don't think it's fun. Maybe I should give it a serious run and see what happens then...
EDIT: k, tried PoD.D seriously.
-First try, 1cc'd with Kana and felt pretty good about myself, then saw that the game had been set to Easy Mode and cried.
-Second try, played on Normal (again with Kana) and game over'd on Yumemi. Those crosses are deadly when they start stacking up D:
-Marisa's diagonal star attacks are just as terrifying as they are in PoFV and her boss attack is even worse. ;_;
I will 1cc this game on Normal and Hard. ):<
-
It's nice to know that Sakuya's just as much of a useless bitch in IN as she was in PCB. :V
-
Was Sakuya ever useful ? :V
-
At one time Aya was the hardest stage 4 boss??
that's a surprise...
And I'm renewing my efforts to actually beat another touhou game this year.
Either SA or UFO...Which one is easier?
Speaking of Aya though, I find that stage to be one of the most enjoyable touhou stages I've played.
-
But you know, this time I got all the way to the preboss spam, when I remembered the hard way that Reimu C is SO slow she can't even do my method of dodging the attack (moving along the top). >_<
Hmm? I shamelessly directly copied your strategy from your no double tapping vid and it always works?
Either SA or UFO...Which one is easier?
Speaking of Aya though, I find that stage to be one of the most enjoyable touhou stages I've played.
Heavily opinion based. The masses seem to say UFO is harder, but personally I'd say SA is harder.
As for stage 4, just wait until you play it on hard and lunatic.
-
I heard that UFO has harder stages and SA has harder bosses.
That and the UFO objects in UFO are flying deathtraps...Found that out myself.
Almost got to Ichirin/Yuugi
Actually I got past midboss ichirin, and in SA I got to Yuugi's second spellcard.
Both games annoy me with lasers. Parsee is easier than Kogasa in my opinion.
Then again the only two games I've beaten are PoFV and MoF
MoF with 10 continues
and PoFV with more continues than I can remember.
It doesn't matter how many continues I need, I will eventually beat these games.
-
Death with 3 bombs in stock, death with 1 bomb in stock, death with 3 bombs in stock, death with 3 bombs in stock, death with 2 bombs in stock, the game over was a death with 3 bombs in stock. I was at Boss Sakuya's opener on Hard.
-
Strange thing...ever since i cut down on bomb use. (just after my first few times playing touhou)
I start dying with many bombs in stock...
Gotta fix that somehow...
I also tend to die on a bosses second or third spellcard.
Gotta practice more.
Recently died on SA stage 2 easy while testing out applications of teleporting on Parsee with amusing results.
Her midboss non-spell can be made easier by teleport streaming. this tactic also forces me to time-out the midboss fight allowing me to avoid green eyed monster.
I haven't tested all applications yet.
-
Now I just lost a total of 12 bombs, 7 of them being on stage 3 and game overed on Stage 6 Sakuya's nonspell. Then after continuing, I beat Remilia with only one death which is usual for me, 2 at the most.
-
lol this is gay
first nue battle in ages, almost perfect
captured everything, clipped grudge bow 3rd phase, cleared 4th
hurr
-
1st SA hard attempt, game over on BoWaP...WTF Satori non-spells ? Are they even dodgable ? Also, bombing like crazy is WUT
-
ah man I'm getting so bored of trying the same things over and over again.
I can't 1cc SA and UFO hard, and no lunatics... and it's annoying to even try because of damned 1st stages
-
Try IN Lunatic. I can't even get close on most of the Hard modes and I've almost managed to 1cc this Lunatic. I actually can if I don't keep messing up.
As for Satori's nonspells on Hard. I did mess up once, but the replay will still give you an idea. Everything else was bad.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6729
-
EoSD Hard.
One miss at Cirno's OPENER, with FOUR BOMBS in stock.
Three misses at Sakuya's stage, ALL with bombs in stock.
One miss at the spell before Vampire Illusion. And it becomes a 2cc.
I did capture Scarlet Gensokyo, though. This thing seems WAY more tame than the Lunatic version.
-

Easier than Red Magic tbh
-
I got Red Magic on my first try, and upon watching the replay I went "wtf how did I do that".
And that was done months ago >_>
-
Yeah, in Red Magic the bubble bullets bounce off the side of the screen; this makes everything less uniform and more clusterfuck.
-
UFO Stage 5 boss and midboss have curving lasers, also stage 4 is random trajectory hell, it's harder than the boss proper. These are my latest in terms of rage inducers.
-
Reach Stage 5 midboss Sakuya with 3 spare lives. I arrive at Stage 6 with no spare lives and 2 bombs. I knew exactly what was going to happen when I arrived at Scarlet Meister with no bombs.
2 deaths during that entire run where I had 3 bombs in stock. I can 1cc this damn thing on Hard but I keep dying with bombs.
Edit: just had another bad run. Why the hell didn't I bomb Young Demon Lord when I had 2 bombs in stock. At least then I wouldn't have game overed to this. Nice wall there Remilia. Think I had one other death with some bombs as well.

Just failed a Lyrica lunatic 1cc at PoFV.
This was a real shame, because I had an amazing battle with Aya which lasted over 3 minutes.
Also dodged the most dense Shiki wall I've ever seen and not because of luck!
Bleh, had 3 extra lives going into Shiki as well.
-
1st SA hard attempt, game over on BoWaP...WTF Satori non-spells ? Are they even dodgable ? Also, bombing like crazy is WUT
It's just playing as Reimu A practice. And Stage 4 on Lunatic makes hard look hilariously easy.
-

These lasers, Orin.....everything.
Hypnotism sucks, DBDB sucks, Insect Nest sucks, BoWaP sucks. Yeah, that's about it.
-
Orin and her stage on Hard. Satori's stage not as much, but she's almost as bad as Orin if not worse. And Yuugi and her stage give me issues as well.
-
I just failed a pacifist EX Alice at her second to last phase because I forgot the pattern. >_<
Pacifist Alice is interesting. Most attacks take over a minute and a half to end, which is really freaking long.
Also to my shock, I found out that Alice's laser phase is not damage based, but time based.
The tiny lasers will spawn regardless and you have to survive that attack for like 73 seconds.

Spoilers: Alice's last attack has no timeout phase, as that one IS damage based and not time based. I timed it out on a savestate and it was still at the slowest speed when Alice exploded.

MS lunatic. Yet another game over at Yumeko's blue streams of doom. The usual stupid lossy deaths on stage 4, one attempt at deathbombing vs. Yuki/Mai without having any bombs left, postponed killing the stage 5 midboss a bit too much and missed out on the 1up, and was less than 10 item points away from an extend when the run ended.
And shitty art.
Blasphemy!

I'm stuck on stage 3 on both SA and UFO.
Both due to laser fests, at least Yuugi's music is better and I can at least consistently get to the stage boss unlike fighting Ichirin where I only occasionally get past the midboss.
ANy tips on how to get better at these games?
-
Died 3 times to Yuugi, mostly failed the next 2 stages. Terrifying Hypnotism, Tengu Macro Burst, and Great Whirlwind are fucking hard, not that ReimuA or MarisaB Satori would be any easier.
On Stage 5, I arrive at Midboss Orin's Cat Sign "Vengeful Cat Spirit's Erratic Step" with no power to bomb with and almost time it out while trying to capture it then die with under a second left.
I can't capture any of boss Orin's spells consistently like on Normal where I could usually capture 2 of them. I sometimes capture the second one.
Despite this, I somehow make it to Utsuho's first spellcard. If I could get rid of the stupid deaths elsewhere I could 1cc. But Yugi and all of the next 2 stages are just hard for me.
-
LSI.
LFO.
One's an impossible request.
The other's just IMPOSSIBLE.
*bangs head against wall*
-
Subterranean Animism Stage 4 Hard one death. That should have been a no death run of the stage in practice, but I died on Terrifying Hypnotism.
-
MS lunatic. No deaths until stage 4, then one death because I mistook a red round bullet from the first bunch of red bullet shooting fairies for a power item and simply ignored it, and later one stupid death to Yuki/Mai (aren't all deaths to Yuki/Mai stupid?).
Then I managed to die to the stage 5 midboss (WHAT), whom I then killed waaay too early leading to a lossy death during the stage, followed by a death with full bombs to Yumeko's first phase, and then the usual meltdown at blue streams which I did get past this time due a combination of still having some lives to lose there and twice surviving being trapped inside the triple-streams.
And then I somehow lost my last life to the pre-Shinki circles. Seriously. Two bombs in stock here. Somewhat far from the 400 point items extend as well.
-
POFV Extra, Shikeiki. No lives, 5 seconds...
I use a L2 bomb, get a boss attack on Shiki's screen, yes, I'm going to win this.
SLAM! HELLO WHITE BULLET THAT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE
-
The concept of no deathing Marisa A Patchouli is kind of insulting. It's basically saying "hey, I have five spell cards, and if you did the stage right you'll have 3 bombs. All I ask is that you capture two of my spell cards, and one of mine is already pretty easy. So out of four spell cards, just capture one and you can bomb spam the rest of me."
I've.
Never.
Done.
It. I didn't put her above Satori on my hardest list because it's just rank related, but on max rank Marisa A Patchouli is probably the hardest boss in the series. It doesn't help that a whopping 3 spell cards use those shitty flame bullets with the impossible to figure out hitboxes.
-
Another 3 death IN Extra clear.
I want a no deaths run damn it.
Deathbomb Mokou's first card because I suck at it and get clipped by stuff.
Die right as I do the damage needed to go from a nonspell to Flaw of Forgiving Shrine.
Deathbomb and die on Hollow Giant "Woo"
Die to the rings of death
Capture Fujiyama Volcano and Possessed by Phoenix.
Then deathbomb on easy Hourai Doll twice.

CAPTAIN CHEATINGSONOFA MURASA
WHAT
THE
HELL
WAS
THAT
I think I died four times, all with at least two bombs, on not a SINGLE BULLET I COULD SEE
including one that would have had to have been OFF THE SCREEN to have killed me
and game over on Stage 5 because of a BS clip as Basket-Lazors cleared, followed by two instadeaths the moment my bombs wore off
I HATE THIS GAME
SO MUCH
SO MUCH
-
I feel your pain, I HATE MURASA
-
- two BS deaths on stage 4
- BS clip death on the last spell of the Prismrivers after dropping their health bar to 1

no no NO NO NO NO NO NO
MURASA

THE CRAP
once again
four deaths, all with two or more bombs
all on her second card and third noncard
'sfunny, 'cause I perfected everything else except one bomb - also a best - on Dipper Creeping Close
seriously goddamnit all
-
Here's my history for "End of Imperishable Night -11 o' Clock-":
In Spell Practice: 4/4
In full stage runs: 0/6
What the hell is wrong with me? I'm this close to perfecting all of IN Easy, and I can't cap it when it counts.
And Marisa, why must you be so hard as a boss? Spell Practice means nothing when doing "minimalist" streaming on your last regular spell card (on Normal) can't even get past your randomly positioned lasers consistently.
-
I just failed a Subterranean Animism Hard 1cc on Subterranean Sun. Just because I died 3-4 times on Orin and died on the lolsafeheight card.

SA Hard's Satori is actually harder than Orin and Utusho for me. I always end up losing 3 lives just in the boss phase while just 1 live on Orin and Utsuho each (sometimes none).
-
The lag I get from Unzan's spellcards, and from Murasa's "I shoot anchors everywhere" spellcard. It's almost always an autobomb because the speed changes randomly.
At least the school computers are powerful enough for me to play without lag.
-
PCB Normal.
Stages 1 and 2, no problem. Stage 3, deathbombed Foggy London Dolls; no big deal. Stage 4, made some careless mistakes on Lunasa's third nonspell and Concerto Grosso, but I'm still confident.
Stage 5... Seriously, how do you die TWICE to Delusion of Enlightenment, of all things?! Not to mention all the cards I should have just bombed anyway. Stage 6, I just stopped paying attention out of anger, Yuyuko finally swatted me down on Swallowtail Butterfly. >_<
-
Perfect stage 6 ruined by the very last red wave of Resurrection Butterfly. :<

Border of Wave and Particle(Hard) just killed me 5 times in practice. Whenever I fail trying to capture it in practice which is every time, I just try to time the thing out.
Too bad I clip pretty much everything on it.

Safespot Border of Wave and Particle successfully after failing to capture it. So I wait until the time was almost up to finish the spell, I don't move or anything and I die as she is defeated. What the fuck?
Then I proceed to fail a lot on Stage 5 so that I end up 1ccing SA Hard with ReimuA on my last life instead of with several spare lives like it should have been. Well, that's 2 Hard 1ccs down for this game, but still what the fuck?
-
Captured LFO Hard with ease at the end of a run.
Rageworthy because it ended 5 previous runs with multiple deaths. And this run had the worst Stage 3 of the lot.
-
Bah, PCB Stage 4, Lily timeout, full Lunasa, one death. The death was to one of the nameless fairies toward the end that come from the left and right and fire aimed clusters of blue or red bullets.
-
I can't be the only person who dies to Luize's laser every time, right?
...right? :-\
-
I can't be the only person who dies to Luize's laser every time, right?
...right? :-\
I don't even know who Luize is :V
-
Another run ends on Murasa, I'm starting to lose hope. I even played safe and used all the bombs for the risky spells, being on my last life, then remembered: THE SURVIVAL CARD. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-
-
I don't even remember whether that was LLS or MS. But those lasers are an autobomb for me.
-
Its always fun to die AS you clear a spellcard.
Especially someone's last spell card on the last stage.
Especially when its also your last life.
FFFFFFFFFFF-
-
So I tried Concealed the Conclusion.
What the hell is up with this game?
-
I can't be the only person who dies to Luize's laser every time, right?

You are not.
Dear GOD you are not. The laser hitboxes in Mystic Square makes the ones post-IN seem conservative.
-
Tried 3 extras with No Focus. Koishi, made it up to the first heart card. Ran, made it up to Charming Siege. Mokou, made it up to Xu Fu's Dimension. I suck at No Focus.
But I got hit on the Flying Phoenix card which caused me to lose all rythm causing me to die twice. Deathbombed her first card as well. Xu Fu's Dimension was crap. Either move up a little bit from the bottom and get hit by familiars or move up more than that and get hit by amulet bullets.
I couldn't do well on the stage portions of any of them without focus.
What's the easiest No Focus Extra anyway? I want to do one of those.
-
Everything.
EVERYTHING.
D:
-
I find it funny that more often than not, when I die on the Catwalk, I end up killing Orin earlier than when I capture it. Is this some demented way of teaching me to learn how to read Orin's attacks?
I also had way too many "WTF I moved in time!" moments when practicing SA Stage 5 Hard. Either my physical reflexes have dumbed down 'cause it's late, or the game really isn't picking up my movements properly. I kinda hope its the former - I don't have much tolerance for technical malfunctions.
-
Zun wasn't drunk when he tuned PCB's difficulty.
HE WAS ON DRUGS GODDAMIT WTF IS STAGE 4 AND YOUMU'S OPENERS AND HALF OF CHEN'S CARDS AAAGGHGHGAGHAGGHHHH.
Fucking game over on Yuyuko, which I guess counts as "improvement" since my last game over was on Youmu, but still....
EDIT:
Switched from homing (Sak A) to Damage (Rei B) after giving up on my "no hitbox syndrome" drive. 1cced past Prismriver for the first time!
Why am I here?
Well, got all the way to Yuyuko on 2 continues, died on her 3rd card....
and accidentally told the game to not use my last continue.
;_:
-
UFO Extra. What the hell is killing me? I've been trying a no death run and I've only managed to make it to Nue once. Every other time I got killed and I'm sure nothing even touched my hitbox. If I wanted this kind of crap, I'd play HRtP or SoEW.
Edit: Just tried PoFV Extra No Deaths again and only made it to stage 6 once. Tried a new strategy as well and apparantly the timer freezes if you try to cheap it out by being pacifist to avoid filling the screens forcing you to shoot occasionally, so that doesn't work either.
-
Just did a run of LLS Hard, after not playing it in months, and never on Hard. I got through Stages 1-4 with no deaths and only one bomb!
Then I lost five lives to Reimu and game overed as Yuka was exploding, since I forgot about Yuka Spark. fjskfsdfjsdlfkalkjslffads
-
You are not.
Dear GOD you are not. The laser hitboxes in Mystic Square makes the ones post-IN seem conservative.
After making that post I went on to find that Mai's lasers still have hitboxes after for a brief moment after they start rotating again :V
-
Tried another MS lunatic run in hopes of repeating the awesome Shinki fight from the previous one and getting it on video.
Got to Shinki 3/0 (without the 400 extend, of course), clipped something in her first phase, royally screwed up during Cheetos Lasers (and I am one of the three or four people that find Cheetos Lasers easy), game over before the hard part of Devil's Recitation. Either way the run had already lost its purpose. :(
And Yumeko's blue streams are still as undecipherable to me as ever. I imagine you're supposed to change directions between the two lasers, but obviously there's something else I'm missing. Better reflexes, probably.

Is it just my imagination, or can you shotgun Shinki during the cheeto laser phase?
I would like the Shinki fight better without that random white bullet spam after she opens her wings. (no, not the initial burst)
-
Mountain of Faith Lunatic. What the fuck. Pretty much everything is an autobomb. I managed to continue spam my way to stage 6 but couldn't clear it because of Virtue of Bullshit Wind God so now I'm going to go watch a stage 6 replay
Peerless Wind God is bullshit as well. Stage 5 is actually somewhat fair but still had a few autobombs.
-
Is it just my imagination, or can you shotgun Shinki during the cheeto laser phase?
You can't, because there are cheetos spawning straight down from the center. I also believe Shinki's cheetos can make sharper turns than Alice's just after they spawn, which would allow them to reach you and quickly dislodge you from a shotgunning position, but in short, no you can't.
I would like the Shinki fight better without that random white bullet spam after she opens her wings. (no, not the initial burst)
Maybe you've noticed the big bullets fall straight down. Use this to your advantage.
Mountain of Faith Lunatic. What the fuck. Pretty much everything is an autobomb.
Even on lunatic it's possible to autobomb pretty much everything and get to stage 6 with something to spare. It's also possible to get to Kanako with four lives and still fail to clear it because you've been bombing everything for almost half an hour and your reflexes have fallen asleep in the meantime, and will not come back all of a sudden in time for VoWG. orz
-
Lovely. My MoF score.dat has been erased, rather than just corrupted. -_-
-
Tried a Cirno run in PoFV. Killed 3 fucking times by Aya causing me to arrive at Shikieiki on my last life.
Continued just to try some more and then have to continue again just to get her the first try of that credit.
-
Lovely. My MoF score.dat has been erased, rather than just corrupted. -_-

Well, my USB drives, holding all my Touhou games (done April 2008 after a virus seriously threatened my computer) back up all my games, but they tend to be outdated. Thankfully I don't care about having a full spell card capture in-game, but in the case of SA I have to reunlock three shot types for extra. >_< I still have two to go...
-
Now I got killed 3 times by Komachi with a different character instead and was barely off from the 50,000,000 extend so I didn't even make it to stage 9.
Edit: 3 times to Aya again. And since I suck even more at scoring with Reimu, I wasn't near the 50,000,000.
Edit: 3 times to Komachi, 3 times to Aya, 3 times to Aya. Why do I even bother with this?
Edit: Failed Hourai Elixir Lunatic with 1 second on the timer. The card is soeasy until the last 4-5 seconds as well, then it does that.
-
Edit: Failed Hourai Elixir Lunatic with 1 second on the timer.
I played Hourai Elixir lunatic two times in all my Touhou history. Guess how many times I failed it with less than 1 second left.
Hourai Elixir lunatic and Yukari's last word can stay there uncleared for all I care.

(http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n75/mimeslayer/denied001.jpg)
So close....
Ok, so it was Easy w/ 5 lives for practice, I was still not expecting to get that close only to fail. =(
-
I can't perfect UFO Stage 5 Normal.
I can't perfect UFO Stage 5 Normal.
I can't perfect FUCKING UFO STAGE 5 NORMAL AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH
-
Neither can I. Demon of Purification sucks. Same for Greatest Treasure and Radiant Treasure. Everything else is trivial, and even Radiant Treasure usually goes down easily enough for me.
-
This is Touhou fail day, I keep screwing up the easy stuff. Makes me wonder how the hell I managed to get furthest than ever in the Extra.
-
MoF Hard today :
Died on Autumn Sign "The Autumn Sky and a Maiden's Heart" 3 times in a row, rage quit every time yup.
Died on the last bullet on stage 2...
EGJFGSDFJGDFJDJFGYEGFJGSDJHFSD...
AAAGGHGHGAGHAGGHHHH >_<
-
From when I was trying to 1cc it with ReimuA instead of ReimuB
Autumn Sign "Autumn Sky and a Maiden's Heart" 23/99
Bumper Crop" Promise of the Wheat God" 32/67
I reset so much on stage 1. It's 7/25 and 12/15 for ReimuB.
Lunatic version is so much worse. Don't forget the spellcard that Radiant Treasure Gun is based off of. Not sure which of the 2 I'd consider more BS, since I've never gone against RTG.
-
Decided to play SoEW extra.
Well, rage.
-
Remilia's last spell card on normal with 4 lives, just about to unlock Extra Stage on EoSD. Die 4 times. Remilia has only a tick of life left. RAEGQUIT.
-
IN extra, 3 attempts, STARTED 3 DOWNWARD SPIRALS AT IHAKASA'S MOON CURSE FUCKFUCFKCUFK. I didn't know I could screw up on "flaw of forgiving shrine", nor did I know I could lose more than one life on Flying Phoenix. I sent 3 runs into the gutter due to lower than ground level self-confidence. How about I now go to sleep? :/
-
I tried to 1cc SA on Hard. I was at the end of Stage 5 after a couple of accidental deaths during Orin, and had been maintaining an extra live count of around 4 or 5 since the beginning of Stage 4.
Then the game crashes in the transition to Stage 6.
OF ALL THE THINGS TO STOP A BEAUTIFUL RUN! I HAD THAT 1CC! FFFFFFFFFFFF-
-
Let's open the forbidden lunatic mode (IN)
78%
Continues 3
Death 20
Bombs 50
Let's try later
-
IN is probably the easiest Lunatic. I just don't have the will to try again after my embarrassing failure. I really need to though.
-
I had the best run I've ever had on SA Stage 6 Hard. Passed Nuclear Excursion and Giga Flare with flying colors, and finally managed to capture Hell's Tokamak again. Then I die near the end of Subterranean Sun because I didn't move left enough.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-
-
I played some EoSD today just for kicks. Just hard difficulty cuz I had plenty to drink atm. Everything was going fine all things considered. But when Remi casted "thousand needle mountain" I thought "oh yeah, this card". I was trying to do it without bombing, and well. bam, I got killed by some bullet I didn't notice.
Is the card just plain like that? I mean no matter how much better I get at shooters, this one CONTINUES to dazzle me. I mean it's not as hard as scarlet gensokyo (which I capped on that same run btw, but it WAS only hard) or scarlet meister, but it's so simple. No gimicks, nothing. It's just this very orderly looking pattern of bullets, and for some reason I just can't read it at ALL. Is it just me?
-
It's easier on Lunatic than it is on Hard. Hard's version is just WTF while Lunatic's is decently readable.
How did I just die twice to Gold Detector on Hard? That card isn't even hard unlike her autobomb last one.
Edit: over 2 runs, not on one.
And this is harder than some of the Lunatics. I'm only able to get to Ichirin's final card on one credit. I can't even beat Stage 5.
-
Another Extra run, game overed at Hollow Giant Woo. WHAT THE HELL WAS ZUN THINKING WHEN HE TURNED IT INTO RANDOM BULLET HELL.
@Enigma: We're on the same boat. Nazrin's diamond card on Hard is just impossible to me, Gold Detector is static and has quiet spots. It has a lot in common with catadioptric, forcing you to read pretty much all the screen. That's why screwing up there is so easy.
EDIT: Hollow Giant Woo is more like hollow giant WOE. I hate it so much.
EDIT2, to avoid double post: What the fuck is up with UFO. I can get through IN's EXTRA stage more or less without dying, and now on my FIFTH continue on STAGE 4 NORMAL OF UFO I'M STILL STUCK THERE.
-
I just 1cced lotus land story on normal without playing it for 5 months, never playing past stage 3.
Then realize that I still can't get past stage 4 on SoEW on EASY.
FUCK
-
PoFV lunatic match mode. Sakuya vs. Merlin.
Four consecutive 1-2 losses.
-
I keep fucking getting hit in stages 1 and 2 of IN. I've only made it to Mystia once today just to get hit on her first fucking spellcard.
Edit: Oh, and I almost lost my perfect record on Shackles a Criminal Can't Remove Lunatic when I died while the nonspell was clearing and almost didn't get things right in time, but it's still perfect. Unlike my Hard one which I ruined today.
-
Yay, I perfected Utsuho! \o/
Boo, I died on the stage. orz
-
Blazing Wheel or the streaming before that?
And damn it, I still can't get past stage 2. What the fuck? I haven't gotten past stage 2 once after failing on Hourai Jewel because I keep getting hit. My closest was Mystia's last nonspell.
-
The part after Blazing Wheel. The birds that drop round bullets. ;>_>
These things sometimes wall you on lunatic. :(
-
Tried MoF No Vertical No Bombs Normal
Died to Broken Amulet
Died to Optical Camouflage
Died to Monster Cucumber
Clipdeathed twice in stage 4
I didn't even get the second score extend either since without bombing your scoring sucks even more No Vert. Surprised I didn't die on one of the things I would have expected to under those conditions.
-
Four times already I lost 1-2 to lunatic Shiki with Reimu. Getting her to her last half orb isn't that hard anymore; getting her to her last half orb and forcing her to deathbomb isn't exactly rare either.
But I really, really wish Lily would stop giving her all the yellow 'G's.
goddamnit shikieiki is a tough cookie isn't she
GODDAMNIT SHIKIEIKI

-
I lost my last life just as Byakuren exploded after finishing Flying Fantasica.
-
Why do I keep dying on stage 1/2 of PCB normal? Geez, I've gotten past stage 4 without dying so many times before, why can't I do it now?!
-
Wait so I can 1cc IN lunatic but not even clear UFO lunatic
/r score.dat
-
^This, except change the having 1cc'd IN Lunatic to could but keep screwing up early stages. And UFO Lunatic to UFO Hard.
I've continue spammed my way through EoSD Lunatic, PCB Hard, most of MoF Lunatic though I have stage 6 unlocked due to the replay thing, and SA Lunatic. But I just haven't gotten past stage 4 of UFO Hard(I could, but then Stage 5 would prevent me from clearing, and if not that, Byakuren. Just like SA Normal, I didn't have Stage 6 Normal on UFO Unlocked until after I 1cc'd. SA Hard and Lunatic, I managed it before having the skill to 1cc Hard(or after the Hard 1cc for Lunatic). I probably couldn't continue my way through PCB Lunatic though.
Edit: Damn it. I was just under a second away from capturing Momizi then I died. Then like usual I failed Storm Day, Peerless Wind God, and her final card.
-
Wait so I can 1cc IN lunatic but not even clear UFO lunatic
Wait so I can 1cc 7 lunatics but not even clear UFO hard
I think I've won this one, where's my prize

PoFV counts as one silly
-
lololololololool my performance in UFO does not vary between Hard and Lunatic mode, nor does it vary between shot-types. I will invariably fail on the same spots no matter what, and have recently noticed that I almost always leave stages 1-4 with the same amount of lives as I have the run before, regardless of what I do in them.
I may actually have to use stage practice... But I'll hold off for now. Not quite raging that hard.
-
PoFV counts as one silly
Of course it counts as one or else it'd be 18 silly
GODDAMNIT LOUSY PROGRAMMING ZUN, don't you love when you're reduced to your last half orb while releasing a charge and therefore YOU DON'T GET THE LAST HALF ORB FULL GAUGE BECAUSE OF ASDSAFHADSJRHAFAFGDFHG ZUN
-
I have had what would have been Lunatic 1ccs get fucked over by that. It pisses me off every time it happens because it's pretty much a death sentence.
That or the whole dying 3 times on Stage 7 or Stage 8(or twice on both).
Or both.
-
I may actually have to use stage practice... But I'll hold off for now. Not quite raging that hard.
...why wouldn't you use Stage Practice?
-
I can't clear UFO stage 4 on normal except rare occasions. What did I win?
-
Arrive at Shikieiki with 3 lives. Of course I die. Died after hitting her twice. Then I mess up and get hit 4 times in under a minute without even hitting her once on my last life.
-
I pretty much always lose all of my lives by stage 3 making stupid mistakes <_<
The farthest I got in any touhou game was PCB stage 6. And I got owned by Yuyu.
BTW I only play normal... easy is too easy and hard is too hard :V
-
PCB Easy is harder than some of the Normals.
Almost win stage 6 first try but die. Almost win stage 7 the first try then die. Almost win 2 more times on stage 7 then die 2 times. Game over on Komachi.
Once I manage to 1cc this damn thing on Lunatic without them, I'm going to cheap through it with Aya and Medicine(and still probably get BS'd a few times)
-
My flanchan 6/3 replay...
It... it got desynced...
Oh God ;_;

How Elis has like 3 completely undodgeable attacks in HRtP.
- The lasers + giant wall of bullets combo;
- That thing where she slowly moves to a corner, shooting a shower of bullets down. If you get walled, you're fucked;
- When she starts aiming at you with very fast bullet waves.
I think I should stand under her more often.
Also, the freaking lag. Unlike UFO, where I know when it'll activate, in HRtP it's completely random. Sure, it makes it slightly easier to dodge bullets, but it also completely screws up my timing, and sometimes the game doesn't even register my input. And the music gets all distorted.
What really pisses me off though, is that I can't even get passed stage 16 anymore.
-
So there's a 1.1 English patch for PoFV which fixes Lunasa
So I pick Lunasa and lose 6 rounds in a row to Reimu after getting her down to half an orb and no gauge
edit: goddamnit I'm really awful at PCB
edit#2: tried Flanchan.zip again, needed two continues - got destroyed by the stage (gah), didn't remember a single noncard and proceeded to clip/deathbomb a lot of them (duh), and was obliterated by In the Eye of Destruction (well at least that one was expected). And never figured out how to use the C4, it says "press 'C' for things to go BOOM" but I got nothing.
-
Made a little progress on IN again. I've now made it back to the spellcard after Mystia's final nonspell before getting hit and ruining the attempt. Then every other attempt today ended with me getting hit by Wriggle's midboss card or getting hit by Mystia's "midboss" card.
Hopefully I don't fuck up stage 3 or the later stages once I get by stage 2 without getting hit again.
-
Another Flanchan run, 2cc.
"In The Eye of Destruction": 3D8B
-
Flanchan is a fad now. Amazing what a little hope of being possible does.
Still 3CC. I die with bombs in stock way, way too much.
-
2cc ending 3/3. How does Gungnir work? That one killed me 2 times.

It's aimed. The first two waves aim right at you, so move a few collumns away to avoid the arrowhead splash. The third wave shoots two at an angle to either side of you then one right at you. I am unsure how to consistently dodge this.
Spell repeats.

Managed Hijiri after some godawful amount of continues.
What happened to those...do-able on normal, even for someone as incompetent as I, touhou's? ???

I need to remember something: Whenever I need to have more fun in Touhou, get distracted with another game for a week or so, and my skills will completely atrophy. Dying in MoF stage 5 seven times is exhilirating. :3

Have you never seen videos of ultra mode before or something? If so, I can't wait until you see Scarlet Meister. :3
-
I was fighting Murasa barely alive and right when I think I won, Ghost "Sinker Ghost"
-
Don't forget the nonspell that is Scarlet Meister as well.
From the videos it seems a little different from the Ultra one in a few shot patterns.
-
From the videos it seems a little different from the Ultra one in a few shot patterns.
That's because I'm playing:
1. An updated version (unless you're already looking at the most recent)
2. An easier version
That being said, Stage 3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_muliXVJbXg).
Stages 4 and 5 are feasible. And very fun.
-
I'll have to actually try that one out. I have the original Ultra one. So I was only able to clear the stages(not counting 6 which was impossible) through bombspamming anything dangerous.
That version there actually looks playable.

Happened to me the first time I played, then YESTERDAY. FFFFFFFFFFFF-
-
I captured ALL of Kanako's spell cards, then proceeded to ram into a PURPLE wall of VoWG.
No Focusing isn't very useful anymore :(
-
Messed up what should have been a Peerless Wind God capture at 1 second left.
Also, I can't get past half of VoWG's lifebar before dying.
Damn it Minoriko quit killing me and forcing me to bomb stuff. You're a fucking stage 1 boss.
Also died twice on Nitori on one of my attempts and clipped one of Aya's nonspells and still made it to stage 5 just to die quickly. Thankfully stage 5 isn't too bad, but Aya drains most of my power.
-
Highly Responsive to Prayers. Easy mode.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?!!!
Took so many tries to kill 1st boss.
2 continues for Mima.
Gave up on Kikuri (or whatever her name is) after 5. Only got out of Phase 1 once. ONCE!
Not counting all the continues on stage due to my own weapon killing me.
Seriously, what am I missing that makes this game beatable?

Kogasa: Taste the rainbow!!

I only ever play normal. Too much pride for easy mode, too much fail for anything else <_<
And yeah, that's pretty much how it went down. If I get tired of programming my game, I'll probably be back in this thread talking about how I ruined my latest run.
I do remember this one time... where I finally got good at SA. I was stoked when I hit stage 5... until stage 5 hit me. I survived for a total of 25 seconds. With over 5 lives. Continues didn't help at all. That was the farthest I've ever gotten in SA.

Ah I usually play easy and normal.
beat MoF stage 1 on hard once
but only beat that game on easy.
I tehn to think of touhou difficulty as other smup difficulty +2
so easy is equivalent to other games hard mode
normal is equivalent to other games lunatic
and hard more is just what the forks just hit me argh spalt boom
wtfjhmasb for short.

I was just denied a MS lunatic 1cc when I game overed as Devil's Recitation ended, as in the last place where it was feasible that I could ever die. This would have been my first 1cc with Reimu too. :<
But...
BUT...
I GOT THE 400 POINT EXTEND! :O :O :O
Of course, the bomb collecting I did to do this probably is what caused me to run out of resources, but yeaaaaaaah. >_>
Highly Responsive to Prayers. Easy mode.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?!!!
Took so many tries to kill 1st boss.
2 continues for Mima.
Gave up on Kikuri (or whatever her name is) after 5. Only got out of Phase 1 once. ONCE!
Not counting all the continues on stage due to my own weapon killing me.
Seriously, what am I missing that makes this game beatable?
It takes a heart as pure as all the Sanas in the world
Skill baby :dragonforce:
Mostly learning how to manipulate Reimu's balls correctly and scoring well enough to rack up lives. Once you learn it, it's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0u4fhBaNjE) not (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcF4quCY04o&feature=channel) that (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7AJi-qnzRk&feature=channel) hard (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1hx40IUnqs). :V

I GOT THE 400 POINT EXTEND! :O :O :O
lies, the 400 point extend doesn't exist!
it's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0u4fhBaNjE) not (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcF4quCY04o&feature=channel) that (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7AJi-qnzRk&feature=channel) hard (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1hx40IUnqs). :V
boo minimum rank
so I decided to beat every character in PoFV lunatic match mode with Reimu.
so I'm considering un-deciding it. :V
-
boo minimum rank
If you know a way to freeze rank so that I can fight it at the hardest level every time, let me know. :[

Well, even if I survived this part, there was a 0% chance of survival due to the upcoming waves. Need to learn how to do one certain Spell Card without bombing more than twice. On the plus side, I did manage "Rainbow UFOs" with a single bomb.
It'd be so much more easier on me if "Typhoon" wasn't such a bitch with the handicap.
-
I'm touhou's worst bomber I swear. I don't know how I developed this bad habit of never bombing until I hear the death chime. I played IN like least of all excluding UFO, and half of what little I have played of it wasn't even using border team. I'm confident I could 1cc every Touhou in the series if I wasn't such a dumbass with bombs. I die with more than 3 bombs in stock more often than not ffs. ghaghag.

Game overed on Lunatic Recollection "Wind God Hidden Among Tree Leaves"
This run should have at least made it to stage 5 if I didn't suck at stage 1 and 3.
several times on Yugi and her stage. Stage 4 was horrible too. Satori nonspells and Terrifying Hypnotism are still horrible.
Edit: Game over on boss Orin. What am I doing wrong, and don't even dare say using ReimuC. http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6898
How am I supposed to not fail at Yamame, stages 3, and 4.
-
don't even dare say using ReimuC.
Why are you using ReimuC? :V
-
3 attempts consecutive attempts with ReimuA that didn't even make it past stage 1. Yamame's opener is fucking bullshit and killed me on each of them. Her last card is a pain too as I have yet to capture it. Rest of the fight is fine.
-

How does this relate to you thinking Reimu C is a good idea? :V
-
It was more rage, not an answer to the question.
I can get to stage 5 with both of them.
But as for why I used ReimuC that particular time, better bomb, easier Satori fight. I don't use gapping much outside of stage 6 anyway.
-
The bomb is the ONLY good thing about Reimu C. Reimu A Satori may be harder (ARRRRRRRRRRGH), but her shot type is the only good one in the game, and Reimu C's is both harder to control and deals less damage.
-
Screw you, Cirno Shotgun!
Seriously, Cirno Shotgun is harder than 90% of what Sakuya throws at you. Or maybe it feels like that because you can basically sleepwalk through stages 1 and 2 and then BAM
edit: playing EoSD like once every two weeks at most probably also plays a part
-
Yes! The last non-spell.
Extend!
*dies*
Now this should just be streami-

Also, I had to change Shot Types.

Cirno's opener is actually really easy.
Shotgun her at first. When she is about to fire the first wave, go to her left to misdirect it. Now go down the screen and tap twice to dodge the next two waves.
-
Yamame's opener. How the fuck are you supposed to do this thing? I either bomb or die to it.
-
1. Bah (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRnlGy58Enw).
2. Got a "point-blank" (read: spawned in really close proximity, and aimed right at my position) laser during "Heian Dark Clouds" in a random NV UFO Extra that was going decently well (only 1 mistake thus far in); causing me to deathbomb by panic reflex.
3. Lost focus, made 2 mistakes on "Mysterious Snake Show".
4. In the same run, I also just fail to capture "Danmaku Chimera".
5. I then proceed to suicide 3 times to "Undefined Darkness" (reason being, not enough resources to survive... for me anyways).
Guess I'll finish it off tomorrow morning then.

SUBTERRANEAN SUN RUINED MY SA 1CC RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH
seriously, i died when she had only 1/8 of her lifebar left!

Ultra Mode, first time ... 120 misses, 160 bombs.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-
This might not be a good practice tool after all ...

HRtP's weird learning curve :
HRtP Easy is BY FAR the hardest easy of the series. No freaking way you can 1cc that on your first try. Once you memorize the bosses and manage to control the orb so it doesn't kill you every 5 seconds it's not too bad.
HRtP Normal is HRtP Easy, except you have to dodge 2 to 10 bullets per 5 seconds in some stage. And the bosses are harder, somewhat.
HRtP Hard is HRtP Normal, with slightly harder bosses, but the strategies from Normal mostly work anyway.
So basically, if you can 1cc Easy, you can 1cc Hard.
Now, Lunatic. It's HRtP Hard, with a crapload of bullets appearring when you turn cards. All aimed at you. To chain the cards, you have to follow the orb around to kick it back up. So you're moving around. And the bullets are aimed. So they miss. Which means you can (almost) do the EXACT SAME THING you did on Normal in most stages.
This was supposed to be some kind of rant about how some players who can 1cc the Touhou shooters on Lunatic manage to find this game hard (streaming, 20 extra lives, nearly static stages).
Now if I could just remember how I installed HyperCam, so I can put it on a computer that doesn't suck, and prove I can still play without random slowdown.
-
Midboss Wriggle, Minoriko, Yamame(and Kisume). Why do most of my Lunatic attempts end on stage 1? Then if I get past that, I just screw it up on stage 2 most of the time.
I still can't capture Yamame's first nonspell or her last spell. I usually have to bomb both of Minoriko's nonspells, but it's not as certain as Yamame. Minoriko's final card as crap as well.
I've been having much more luck with SA than I have been with MoF and IN despite it being the hardest game of the 3. But then I fuck up Yugi's stage lasers, Yugi's midboss lasers, Yugi's boss lasers, Ooe and her last nonspell, stage 4 streaming, stage 4 lasers, Satori nonspells, Terrifying Hypnotism, the Recollections regardless of shot type. If I could actually get good at stage 3 and 4 I could possibly 1cc it. Oh, and not fucking up Yamame every time by having to bomb.
-
On my SA Lunatic 1cc I bombed Yamame's opener also also ended up bombing the final spell card for some reason. I still reached boss Parsee with 4 power without dying. Stage 2 and midboss Parsee are both fairly easy, but I was using ReimuA.
-
Ultra Mode, first time ... 120 misses, 160 bombs.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-
This might not be a good practice tool after all ...
Actually, it's watching a video of ultra stage 5 that taught me that most of the bullets in the second half are aimed away from me. And does that mean it gives you unlimited continues or something?
HRtP rawr
HRtP relies on a different skill set than the shooters, so it's to be expected even lunatic players may find the game impossible. If I weren't such a DX-ball addict back in the day I may have felt the same way.

Did a test run. Got to Killing Doll before losing all continues (71 misses). In Ultra, 1 life fragment = 3 lives, 1 bomb fragment = 6 bombs, and only three continues :V
Yeah ... This might sound pathetic, but I used the trainer yesterday >_>
-
Yamame's opener. How the fuck are you supposed to do this thing? I either bomb or die to it.
How are you trying to do it? It does become rage-worthy when she moves too far down, but otherwise it shouldn't be that bad.
Unless she's staying way down for every wave when you fight her...
-
(http://i47.tinypic.com/j5e23l.jpg)
I did this at 3 in the morning.
Overall run was pretty horrible, but this sealed the deal.
-
Extra run: it's a fail day, so I did everything I screw up well, and to compensate fucked up everlasting phoenix's tail. Then I got destroyed by Fujiyama volcano and Hollow Giant Woe.
-
Just captured Kisume's bucket lasers just to get killed by one of the lasers because they didn't get cleared.
And I keep dying to Yamame's final card. I really would like to capture it as the power would help on stage 2.
-
Aghagh, I finally captured DBDB again, and I choke on BoWaP. In my nervousness I was trying too hard to make precise movements...
Just captured Kisume's bucket lasers just to get killed by one of the lasers because they didn't get cleared.
That's happened to me a couple times too. I don't know why it happens, but it's stupid. Doesn't help that they have hitboxes seemingly outside the laser itself...
-
I just died to Shackles a Criminal Can't Remove.
At least my Reimu A record is still perfect, but those Aya Shots fucked up her perfect record. Maybe I should have had them going sideways instead of vertically.
And I can't figure out any of the lasers in Stage 3. I need to get good at this stage.
Wait, shooting to the sides almost ended as a failure via timeout, what? I had to go back to vertical just to capture it in time, which of course caused some of the bubbles to appear.
-
I feel so n00bish right now. Why the fuck can't I 1cc SA Hard?
First time, the game crashes again after clearing Stage 5 with 4 extra lives. Again. Then after a horrible run of Stages 3 to 5, I game over at Subterranean Sun when Utsuho had literally a sliver of health left. And I was just about to safety-bomb, dammit! Next time I get to Stage 5, I die 3 times in the first yin-yang orb section because I had 3.95 Power and couldn't kill anything in time.
Why does this game hate me all of a sudden? What did I do to deserve this shit?
-
Just tried to unlock PCB Extra with another shottype.
ReimuA Normal. I game overed on Swallowtail Butterfly when the game didn't register a bomb.
I can 1cc many of the Hard modes, have gotten close on 3 Lunatics and have a legitimate chance at 4. But I can't consistently clear this on Normal. I blame stage 4 and ReimuA's crappiness, but mostly stage 4.
-
I thought I had Yamame's final figured out since I was capturing it consistently in a row, now I'm failing it consistently in a row.
I either need to capture that or the opener. Opener I can do but it usually screws me over. I'm like 3/ I don't know on it.
Edit: Tried timing out some Satori cards.
Double Black Death Butterfly: 1 death timeout(was trying to capture it at first though since I haven't yet)
Insect Nest: 1 death timeout
BoWaP: Not even going to try as I can't capture it without the safespot.
Wind God Hidden Among Tree Leaves: 1 death timeout
Tengu Macro Burst: 1 death timeout with a under a few seconds left, what the hell
Great Whirlwind: 1 death timeout, yet again with a few seconds left.
-
I'm glad I died to Rorschach in Danmaku because otherwise my perfect run would have been ruined by GREEN BUBBLE BULLET FAERIES.
-
Nue's 7th non-spell with the rapidly falling balls.
One spawns above me, falling at full speed. It's all I can do to dodge in a random direction to avoid it.
Straight into another bullet.
-_-
Watching the replay showed there was a 1-in-8 chance of that happening.
-
What the F----------------
I just had a perfect run of EoSD Extra's stage portion, for the first time - and where do I die? The books. Twice. I consistently perfect the books. Two deaths.
Whatever, 2/3 for Fland--WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN I JUST DIED ON HER FIRST NONCARD
NO SERIOUSLY WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED
-
Perfect Orin Lunatic run ruined by the last 3 attacks (3 misses). FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-
-
Tried to unlock Stage 4 SA for the Marisa shottypes so I could try to capture those spells as well. I didn't beat it with any of them. So much clipdeath.
-
am I the only one who finds almost all of SA lunatic completely retarded
funnily enough, Utsuho is the only boss from which I have all lunatic cards captured. Satori? Not a single one.
Hypnotism=retarded
DBDB=cheap
Insect Nest=luckshit
BoWaP=CLIPDEATH EVERYWHERE
Probably because I find Reimu in this game way too hard to control for some reason. Marisa is much easier to control, but all of her shottypes are pure shit.
ZUN, WHY PUT IN 6 SHOTTYPES WHEN ONLY ONE IS REMOTELY USEFUL
Makes me think that zun seriously didn't playtest it one bit. There is ONE straight shottype. Out of SIX.
And bomb=power is equally dumb.
That's why I like other shmups more than touhou lately(first time I played TH in weeks)
"Alright, you can select from three ships, no matter what speed and what spread you pick, you get a huge laser by default"
The shotgun shots in touhou are useless. I don't see a single instance where a spread shot was useful in touhou except for SanaeB....sometimes.
UFO did a step in the right direction with giving everyone a straight and a less straight shottype but MoF and SA have the worst selection of shots I've ever seen in shmups.
-
I believe that the issue you see in MoF and SA was ZUN trying to differentiate playstyles, instead of having all types play down the same in the end.
-
I have captured all of Yamame's and Parsee's on Lunatic.
For the other bosses:
Yugi: Still need Ooe (gotten close)
Satori: Terrifying Hypnotism(I got close once, just fucking once)
Yukari Satori: DBDB, BoWaP(without safespot since I've done it with it obviously)
Suika Satori: All of them
Aya Satori: Got all 3 of them captured in the same fucking practice run :)
Marisa A/B/C Satori: Don't have the stage unlocked, but I need all of them
Orin: Possessed Fairy, Ghost Wheels, Small Demons Revival
Utsuho: All of them except Ten Evil Stars and Subterranean Sun

I was practicing SA St6 on Easy with Reimu/Suika just now. While I was whiffing a bunch of cards, I almost captured Subterranean Sun... And got hit by the last bullet I had to dodge as Utsuho exploded and her gravity effect went to max. :<
-
What the fuck?
I die four, yes four fucking times over stages 2 and 3 and still make it to fucking Boss Sanae. I actually have a shot at this if I don't completely fuck everything up.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6952
-
I captured only 2 spells, died 4 times with bombs and still made it to VoWG.
How many lives do you need for VoWG?
-
2 or 3 on a good run. Without bombing. Probably 2 with bombing. Kanako is easily 1 death until VoWG, sometimes even none.
Edit: Checks replay
Stage 1 midboss spell
Minoriko's first
Trauma in the Glimmering Depths
Secretly Inherited Art of Danmaku(at 0 lives, 0 power)
Edit: Clipdeathed Kanako's second card twice. Oh and 2 deaths on stage 3 right as I was about to bomb. And I messed up stage 5 again since I couldn't remember how to do it right.
-
My computer's running great by some miracle! Quickly, to the PC98 games!
...Yumeko just wrecked my shit. She used her opening 'random red ring burst' thingy three times. Guess how many times it killed me? ALL THREE.
COMEON, BRAIN, YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT.
-
I didn't even make it to stage 5 this time. I kept clipping everything. Fuck you Aya.
-
First attempt at PoDD goes like this:
vs. Ellen: Perfect
vs. Rikako: Perfect
vs. Mima: Perfect
vs. Kana: Take a hit but win
vs. Kotohime: Perfect
vs. Reimu: Take a hit and win
vs. Chiyuri: Take two hits and still win
vs. Yumemi: GAME OVER.
GOD DAMNIT PHANTASMAGORIA AI.
-
Oh my God so many clipdeaths in the first two stages of MoF Hard. I've perfected both stages ages ago, and know what to expect in terms of bombing the harder parts, but I keep dying in the most unexpected of places in the most unexpected of ways. Maybe today's not a good day for Touhou.
Opener I can do but it usually screws me over. I'm like 3/ I don't know on it.
Have you tried this (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6923) to counter it? I don't know yet if it's worth learning it to the point of consistency, but it seems better than nothing.
-
Seen it, didn't really help.
-
Number of times I've reached Kogasa in 45 minutes of UFO Extra: 0
Also failed a perfect Stage 5 normal with a clipdeath on Complete Clarification.
"UFO" and "consistency" don't belong in the same sentence.

Tried to 1cc UNL Lunatic with Meiling again, this time I used her default 236 and it works wonders on Alice.

Are you talking about Blink, the one where she wraps around the screen and ganks you before you can react? That one may as well be the last two stages of Meiling's scenario, because if you can pass it without dying more than once you're all set.

I died twice to that bitch :<
I thought I had it figured out when I started jumping up through the burst and physically attacking her but no her borders then spawn immediately, trapping me in a tiny box in mid air and taking out like half my health :<
-
I believe that the issue you see in MoF and SA was ZUN trying to differentiate playstyles, instead of having all types play down the same in the end.
I actually liked the selection on MoF.
SA's selection is interesting and MarisaC's bomb was most useful. MarisaA is good too but I can't stand marisaB
I like how each shottype plays differently. I adjust my own style accordingly.
-
How did Sadistic Penguin even get the final item extend in his Pacifist Mokou? My best was to get to 656 items, and that was with 3 bombs and a death which would have negated any advantage the extend would give.
Not that I can time most of the stuff out consistently anyway. My best was to get to the nonspell before Phoenix Tail like that.
-
WHY DO I KEEP DYING AS SPELL CARDS CLEAR
-
I somehow think that "Patchouli" means "a fucking trainwreck of a stage 4"
seriously, it was goddamn perfect except for stage 4 because that asthmatic slut keeps spamming bubble bullets with ridiculous hitboxes.
Stage 1-perfect
Stage 2-2 bombs, 1 planned
Stage 3-2 bombs. Still didn't die.
Stage 4-Lame death right before books(somehow I can't kill the bullet cancel fairies in time). 1 bomb on books, 1 on Koakuma, another on the spam from above, last one on the bullet cancel fairies before Patchouli.
bleh shitstreaming blocked by lasers, clipdeath with 2 bombs
MOTHERFUCKING PATCHOULI
NDL. Both of them. I can't memorize this shit for my life.
Bury in Lake captured. HOLY SHIT
NDL death no bombs.
Bombed Green Storm once.
Died 2 times on Water Elf even though I've captured it several times before. Both times with bombs....2 and 3. GODDAMNIT.
Bombed both Mercury and Megalith.
St5. Bomb before midboss Sakuya, no bombs left, died on Misdirection(and stupidly at that)
Bombed Jack because I got walled but made up for it by capturing The World.
Entered st6 with 2 lives and 2 bombs and reached Remi with 1 less bomb.
Captured her opener, captured YDL, captured her second nonspell, Needle Mountain, third nonspell, captured Vampire Illusion.
Bombed her 4th nonspell once, survived long enough on SM to take it out with a bomb.
Stupid death on Gensokyo with 2 bombs. Game over.
tl;dr fucking patchouli, fucking bullet canceling fairies. stick your bubble bullets up your purple ass.

How many lives do you need for VoWG?
One. Just practice a lot.

Yamame opener
Unless the run needs some bombs conserving (i.e. scoring,no bomb runs), try to sight thread Yamame's first wave. If she moves towards downward or even worse, down-right/down-left, then just bomb her. If you don't want to bomb, stream right a little then when the 2nd wave of red bullets are activating, push right until entering somewhat safe zone. Be careful of red bullet from below and blue bullets from above and yes, it is harder than it sounds. When sight threading is not an option (i.e. 2nd wave), don't hesitate to bomb if the bullets are suddenly pressing hard.
Here are some example when :
to bomb (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6964)
not to bomb (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6963)
ignore anything else.
Try not to stream her to the left, its harder going left than right if Yamame is pushing downward, because there will be a fast red bullet that are sweeping the bottom screen from above. There is a safe way if you want to go left (hitting walls/finishing Yamame), see the not to bomb replay. Move up-right, wait, then when the red bullets are activating, go bottom-left.
3.xx Reimu A will defeat her in 2 waves if she is constantly shooting Yamame. Note that her movement are random. The longer the fight takes, the chance of Yamame becoming harder are increased.

UFO
Finished Ichirin 2/6 I don't know how (I finish her with 6/7 normally)
Reached Murasa 7/7, yay Stage 4...
Finished Murarsa 2/2
WHAT ?
-
I still think that SA's stage difficulty is totally off.
Stage One: 2 deaths
Stage Two: 1 death
Stage Three: 1 death
Stage Four: 1 death = first continue, then 1 death
Stage Five: ~ 20 continues
Stage Six: 3 continues
Blah, reunlocked lunatic stage practice for SA, anyways, so I shouldn't complain. :V
Now to do it with the other shottypes besides ReimuB...
-
SA is dumb
failed a 1cc....on NORMAL
why is atomic fusion harder than the lunatic version
mega flare=giga flare=peta flare
and Hell and Heaven Meltdown is harder than Tokamak.
this game is worse than all of the non reimuA shottypes combined
-
What shottype were you using.
Just easily did a 3 death run with ReimuA on Normal. 2 deaths due to low power and one due to messing up lolsafeheight Fixed Star. All deaths were on stage 6, with 2 of those being on Utsuho.
-
MarisaC.
-
Wow, the best run I've ever had of IN extra seems so anticlimatic after a complete brainfart during Hourai Doll. Utterly horrible mistake to make after such a good run. If Fujiyama Volcano hadn't *just* clipped me earlier, I would have been utterly furious at being denied my first 13-card clear of the stage (considering my Imperishable Shooting history is 2/35, I doubt I would pull it off FTW).
-
That was the last one I did normal with. I ended with 0 lives left, and I don't remember the bombs. Hardest Satori fight as well.
Edit: Just did another Normal one with her. Ended with 1 spare life due to idiotic deaths in several spots, including 2 on Satori's last card, midboss Orin's first nonspell, Vengeful Cannibal Spirit is easier than the Normal version is, died to Orin's last nonspell with bombs in stock. Didn't even save the replay as the score was lower than the one I finished with no spare lives on.
-
Argh, my camera isn't cooperating with me. I'm trying to record my PCB Extra clear for Youtube, but the Ran fight by itself is already pushing the limits of my camera (it can only record up to 9 minutes). I want to say the Ran fight will fit into that threshold, but just barely. However, my camera for some reason ran out of memory 30 seconds earlier than it should. I want to make a clean transition between videos (stage portion vs. Ran), but I was forced to shift the boundary between videos toward the end of Ran's first spell. I'd rather not do that, though my options to fix the problem are limited. Especially since my camera's battery has to recharge too...
why is atomic fusion harder than the lunatic version
I can't vouch for the Lunatic version, but Excursion is definitely harder than Fusion. Even just looking at it, I don't think Lunatic<Normal.
mega flare=giga flare=peta flare
I'm inclined to agree with this. Each one is just a faster version of the last, and they otherwise can be approached in the same way.
and Hell and Heaven Meltdown is harder than Tokamak.
I'm willing to bet the different trajectories threw you off. In my experience, the two cannot be approached the same way.

Hey, folks, did you know that on Yukari's final, the familiars stop whenever you die or bomb? Did you know that all the bullets on the screen then head off in whatever direction they would go and the attack continues from where it left off? Did you know that during that time, the timer stops counting down?
Well, I didn't, until I got there 3/2 and gameovered at 28 seconds left.
-
Spent about an hour grinding MoF Stage 4, and what do I have to show for it?
My record on Saruta Cross is now 11/52, at least I captured that a few more times.
Still no captures on Storm Day, Peerless Wind God, or Terukuni Throughout the World, and I got close on those first 2 at least 3 times.
Also, you do know any combination of 5 deaths/bombs is enough to clear the card if you just stay in the middle, right? Or some dodging of course.
-
I got there 3/2 and gameovered at 28 seconds left.
But that's a minimum of 11 "free" waves you had (if you were using Marisa - 14 if Reimu, 17 if Sakuya) for a 5-wave attack!
-
All of my previous skill at Touhou seems to have completely evaporated, because now I suddenly can't beat SA stage 1 with any regularity (Normal)

UNR gives you a solid way to move through with no room to flail around, it basically lays out a path for you. The blue bullets are just as dense as on Normal.
The Normal version shoots only one sun wave which gives you much more room, making you hit Utsuho less and possibly go completely off direction.
I've timed out the Lunatic version, but never capped the Normal one.

"Flail around"? Well there's your problem. You have more time to get out of the way of each sun on Normal, and you should still be moving to the same spots for misdirecting the suns. And by the way, you can learn where those spots are just by playing Normal (or Easy) - no Hard or Lunatic experience needed. The general approach shouldn't change across difficulties.
If you spend about the same amount of time moving from one spot to the other for each wave of suns, there's no net change in how much you hit Utsuho. It's a loss if you leave early, but you earn it back by getting back under Utsuho early. And unless you're going for a score run or something, there's no need to get aggressive by staying under her as much as possible.
The second set of suns is meant to restrict you, in more ways than one. Besides the less space you have, you're forced to stay roughly in place until the second sun comes out (for misdirection purposes). Thus you have less time to move left or right, and it certainly can mean the difference between getting by and getting walled. If Nuclear Fusion is harder, you're doing it wrong.

Failed 80% reflowering at 6 seconds left

How is it that I capture everything Nue throws at me when I'm completely blind, but now that I know what's coming I fail terribly and game over on midspell before Green UFOs :(

MoF Lunatic 1cc attempt
Messed up Sanae, well there went three lives
Messed up Kanako, there went my other 3 lives
I didn't even make it to Virtue of Wind God even though that definitely would have been a 1cc if I didn't mess it up. But no, I had to mess up Sanae to pretty much likely ruin my chances. Then I clipped Kanako's second spell then died to her last nonspell twice.
Here's the replay in case anyone wishes to watch the complete fail.

Perfect IN Extra stage part.
Die three times and gameover BEFORE Fire Bird... ;_;
-
Orin's difficulty is severely overrated. Compared to MarisaC Satori, Orin is nothing.
Every single of those recollection spells are incredibly frustrating. I'm going to have to quit now. Five attempts with no results. I thought Spring Kyoto Dolls were frustrating but no! I only spent five attempts on capturing all MarisaA spells. Thank goodness Marisa is such an awful character so i never have to face these cards in an actual playthrough.
Seriously, Double Black Death Buttlerfly is a pushover compared to Extending Arm.
All above is just frustrated player letting off some steam. We need not raise argument over this.

Its not too terrible but i hear that there are some who have major trouble with it despite being otherwise damn fine players. You might be one.
Kind of like me and Hells Tokamak.

It's that first wave which comes after the particle part. I can't get into that gap, period.
Oh and Mt. Ooe is just as stupid. How do you find that eye rape fun.
-
Now I can't get past stage 1 and 2 again. This same thing happened when I failed an IN Lunatic 1cc when I should have managed it.
What the hell?
-
I'm having more trouble with SA's Extra than I expected. The stage portion is such a nightmare. Perhaps I should take Kawaii Yokai's advice and do IN or MoF Extra instead.

Maybe you have a problem with fast moving objects? Well, i sure do as well if they are really fast and clippy but bubbles aren't. Mt. Ooe is one of my favorite spellcards. Yeah, really. Its Hells Tokamak that's eye rape.

Trying to beat PCB on normal without continuing while using a non-homing character is making me rage in brand new ways.

Touhou failday, which means I die in the most stupid/clipdeath ways but capture Aya's survival card.
-
I keep dying to Shizuha's midboss card and if I get past that I'm dying to Minoriko's crappy final card.

Yeah, the line of vertical bullets (that is, horizontally moving) just had to line up with my hitbox this time. What that means is an additional 2-3 hits against me, and all because I can't get out of the way.
Doesn't help knowing that I died an additional 2 times with bombs in stock. And messed up "Polygraph" to boot (that is, 5 mistakes instead of the "usual" 4).
So even if I did make it with the Extra lives with I threw away rather quickly, there was no way I was going to make it.
-
I'm glad I died to Spin the Cephalic Plate because otherwise a perfect Nitori fight would have been ruined by Trauma in the Glimmering Depths..
-
OMG I got walled literally just before capturing Izuna Gongen. So close, dammit!
-
Now I'm dying to Minoriko's first nonspell pretty consistently as well as her first spellcard. I'm having trouble keeping attention on the nonspell that I end up dodging stuff on it with all sorts of twitchy movements that would make some people think TAS while I could do it consistently before that fail earlier. There's no reason for me to be messing up the first spell because it's fucking static IIRC. Then I fail to deathbomb on the next nonspell, though a normal bomb isn't enough for me to restart the run. Then the instacrap lasers as it was called earlier, which I've been doing consistently on lately, but occasionally get lasered.
Why is it that once I get close to the 1cc then fail I revert to complete suck?
Okay, that's enough for tonight.
-
I have spent the last hour on the UFO Extra Stage. I have gotten past Kogasa once (because either I screwed up my UFO chain or I just died pre-Kogasa), and that run got to Nue, where I died because the Red UFOs have the biggest fucking hitboxes EVER and then I lost my last two lives to her blue-cards midspell. Again.
I fucking hate this stage.

I keep dying to Shizuha's midboss card and if I get past that I'm dying to Minoriko's crappy final card.

GODDAMNIT
SA Hard. First death on lolKnockoutInThreeSteps; got walled. Second on S4midboss Cat as the first damn wave cave up. Die to Terrifying Hypnotism, I think twice? Die to DDBB, die to BoWaP. Die to the second enemies in S5. Actually dodge a wave of Catwalk with 0 power. Die when the streaming enemies show up. Get to Rin 4 power, bomb her opener, die with 3 power on her first card. Die on Venegeful Cannibal Spirit, game over on Ghost Wheels with full power to a bullet I did not see.
What.
The Crap.
-
Shim, I imagine you're going for a 1cc? Bomb DBDB a bit after the third wave comes out, that actually makes it doable (if you went in at 4 Power, that is).
-
(if you went in at 4 Power, that is).
Dohohohoh...you're kidding, right?
I always screw up Terrifying Hypnotism. I know how to do it, but I ALWAYS screw it up, and I end up bombing way too much on the stage, so 3 power is usually my best, more often 2, this time 1. Ugly.
Avatar has been changed to properly reflect agitation.
-
Failed to captured Source of Rains with about a second of shooting left to do.
Then almost got a 1 death no bomb on VoWG just to die in the last second for a second time.
-
Youmu takes way too long with homing characters.
Way.
Too.

Maybe so but you shouldn't even use homing characters in PCB. Most of the stages are a pretty simple question of remembering spawn points so forward-focus types are certainly the best.

I don't know how you try it, so I don't have a real base to judge. But here's how I do it (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6976) for reference, and I will say that it gets me through pretty damn consistently. As for the stage portion, everything except the two Orin sections is static, micromemorizable, or streaming-based. If anything, you should use the green amulet streaming section (before the second set of lasers) to regain any Power you might have lost - they give you quite a bit there, so it's worth learning how to stream it.
And to stay on-topic: I hate DBDB so much. Making that replay reminded me why I stopped trying to get better at it.
-
Aaaaaaaargh. My angst lately has kept me from being able to play Touhou. I can still dodge fine, but...my heart isn't in it. I hope this gets resolved soon, one way or the other.
-

Actually, just scratch that. Went to try out Lunatic Youmu with homing type and walked away with a perfect clear aside from second non-spell which is easy - i just screwed up. Youmu doesn't take that long. I'd still recommend forward-focus though.

Damnit, I thought I was over this whole "failing shit on the final spell" thing.

Just tried SA Extra. Perfect run, except for one death on Philosophy's second phase (as usual)... and four deaths on Genetics.
...How the hell did that happen? :V I really, really need to get that card down.

The flowers never go into top middle if the first phase doesn't end there.
It basically goes in a U-shaped pattern, so stay there and wait for the 3rd phase :V

Terrifying Hypnotism 1 death no bomb timeout.
At least I've captured it once.

How do you do the third wave then ? Horizontal / Vertical ? Diagonal ? I always screw up at the last 3~4 sec, and it's NOT the flowers >_>
-

I always try to take advantage of the fact that the walls spawn bullets in the exact same places; starting from the top left/centre, I generally try to go through two walls to the right consecutively using unfocused movement, quickly focus to be between a gap in the walls below, and go through two of those at once, again unfocused. Go through another wall from the right if you have time, then just follow the box until the flowers are gone.
Do this three times total and you're sorted (you don't have to move as much on the third time if you're feeling pressured; you're more likely to die from rushing to make difficult gaps and faceplanting into a wall than you are from being crushed by flowers :V).
-
SA Stage 4 post-midboss Orin streaming. This is nearly fucking impossible. I've only captured that part of the stage once, every other time it's 1 death or 1 bomb.
DBDB- 1 death no bombs, every fucking time.

IN Normal - game over at Idling Wave. I didn't think you could get this rusty in just a week...

Failed a perfect run of SoEW extra right at the very end. ;_;
No, not the laser, it's not that embarrassing, but still very close.
God damnit, I know I can do this.

God damnit, I know I can do this.
I remember when I first cleared it. Had no extra lives, then suddenly got an Extend from simply hitting the boss with my shot... about 3 seconds before the laser killed me, which would have otherwise been Game Over.
I was all like "Y U HACK, MENG"
Also, if you didn't know, the explosions don't have very big hitboxes (Which isn't something you can infer, because this is SoEW, and SoEW is ridiculous.)
-

Yeah, I know. Remember that phase where you have to misdirect the mines?
You don't have to.
You can just take it head on and you'll still live, the hitboxes are that tiny. :V

I tried to play HRtP
Quit after the 5th continue on sariel (+ 5-8 continue before)

-
LLS Extra midboss 2 deaths no bombs.
I shouldn't be dying any to it, even with no vert. Or if I do, just to one of the phases as I can capture the rest anyway.
Only made it to Gengetu's first phase despite a few stupid bombs and deaths with bombs in stock.
Edit: I still fail at timing out stuff. More 1 death no bomb timeouts of Terrifying Hypnotism. Some 1 death no bomb timeouts of Throwing Mount Togakushi, Pandemonium, and the other recollection cards I have captures of. 1 death no bomb on the ones I still need captures of and can practice against.
-
Ran's third card, I accidentally run into a laser because I didn't notice how much they were criss-crossing, but a border appeared a split second before I would have died. Then I immediately slam into another laser in shock.
And Ran's fourth card pushed me literally all the way to the bottom of the screen and killed me, despite that "box" having been much higher before that. I kid you not, you could barely fit Marisa's whole sprite into that space, and that's not counting the bubbles.
I really hate this kind of randomness in danmaku.

Is Charming Siege supposed to act like that a lot? Most of the trouble I have with it is getting caught between the walls and the bubbles (which I consider a separate issue), so I don't know for sure.

Was clearing UFO normal with ReimuB (homing type) and reached Shou with 7 lives and 3 life parts. I CAME OUT WITH 3! yes that's actually 2 but got 4/4 life parts with the part shou dropped. And then I died twice on vortex-Nue and fucked up my UFO combos so I didnt get an extra life :( No 1cc for me.

*Tries to unlock PCB Extra with MarisaB, captures Chen's midboss card.*
What the fuck? how did I die? I captured the thing. Okay, Give up and Retry, let's try it again.
Edit: game over on Resurrection Butterfly because I lost a life with 3 bombs to Alice's final card because I didn't press X fast enough. Not sure if that would have cleared if I had those bombs, but it would have helped. Arriving at that card 0/0 is just a huge fuck you.
-
This is the second time I've failed to 1cc UFO Normal at "St. Nikou's Air Scroll" ;_;
Really, I can't beat any of Byakuren's patterns without bombing, except for her second nonspell.
-
Second spellcard is static. Her third might be, but I haven't looked into it, so is St. Nikou's Air Scroll, and so is the final card if you memorize a path, which I can't be bothered to do.
-
SA Extra 1DNB. The card I failed was Embers of Love. I died because I did something completely unnecessary that I knew was very risky in order to get a few more hits in on Koishi.
God damn my impatience. =_=

Air Jordan Scroll is static.

Lasers are definitely not static. But, they always have the same curvature.
Air Jordan Scroll is static.
Or close enough to being static to consider using similar movements; a form of micromem.
RNG hates me ;_;

It was a while ago, but losing my last life about... I think 15 seconds from the end of Yuyuko's final spell card on normal mode. It's the closest I've been to a 1cc so far. I was almost mad enough to eat my gamepad.

Had I captured either Hollow Giant Woo or Possessed by Phoenix, two spells that I nearly always capture on extra runs, or if my clipdeath on Fujiyama Volcano just hadn't happened, I would have had a new high score. I was only 6 million away.

bloody hell what just happened I can't even stream anymore apparently
also learned something very interesting
At least one, possibly two, maybe even three (but this one appears to be random and not at all a safe bet) of VIVIT's attacks can be dodged by standing perfectly still. This includes the HOLY CRAP blue wave on Form 1, maybe the spinning blue lines (Gates's, also Form 1) and The Rainbow Wall Of Completely Undodgeable Death that Form 3 opens with after the moving lasers and streaming feathers. However, I died trying that a second time, but I think I know why; it may be that only the second and third chunks are stilldodges, and you have watch the first. Of course, there's only a fraction of a second between each...
Anyone feeling particularly masochistic is encouraged to confirm the above.

For the first two patterns you mentioned, you're quite right; that's how they're meant to be dodged. But for the third, I'm pretty sure that that's not the case. You probably just got lucky.
Also, there's another attack that can be dodged that way; Gates's crisscrossing toothpick spam in stage 3. If you sit at the very bottom center(line up your shot with the tip of his ship), the lasers will all pass by you. Though this safespot does fail occasionally (as in, like 1 in every 15 runs)

How are you even supposed to know that?!?
Edit: This strategy also works for the alternating red/blue wave flower pattern, with what seems to be approximately a 1 in 5 chance of failure. Considering that pattern is otherwise the hardest thing in the entire fucking game, I'll take my chances with this safespot from now on, thanks.

CHEEEEEEEN! Why do I keep dying against you? You're supposed to be easy, and I've perfected you hoards of times before. Why must your random bullets in "Blue Oni Red Oni" be so retarded, dammit?
I then tried SA Stage 5 Hard once, and I captured the Catwalk easily.

>Mountain of Faith

Yes, trying to dodge by moving very little and staying close to the bullets. I know that with MoF's hit detection it's suicidal, but that's how I do it.
-
Who else loves ramming into a stray bullet while clearing Yuyuko's last card? (On your last life too, thus preventing your first normal mode 1CC.) I think I deserved it though, since I did bomb spam through most of her other cards. I had two bombs in stock when I died because I can't f*cking death bomb even with the border team in IN. God I suck.
-
IN no focus lunatic 1cc attempt with solo Reimu. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7038)

GODDAMN Byakuren, first try normal sanaea challenged her with no lives left, lost of course
2nd and 3rd time 5 lifes, damnstupid death, final spellcard killed me both time, one time i already heard "the sound of victory"
-
I'm seriously thinking that UFO is a really bad game.
How much playtesting could have been done when some cards are borderline possible, 50% of the attacks are an autobomb and the very final attack is easier than 90% of the stage?

^^ guess i am way to bad then, once again playing reimub normal, playing really bad 2 lives left @ byakuren, and finally losing against her last spellcard again^^
byakurens last spell for me is like losing at least 1 live for sure^^, milky way is bombing only i am to stupid for them and the final hard thing is when she comes down, i am to slow to avoid all of them when i am above her at easy i managed it but my skill isn't high enough yet for normal
but i think it's the easiest game so far never managed to "beat" normal that fast
-
I'm seriously thinking that UFO is a really bad game.
How much playtesting could have been done when some cards are borderline possible, 50% of the attacks are an autobomb and the very final attack is easier than 90% of the stage?
Very little, apparently. But then there's the UFO mechanic that lets you spam lives and bombs, so I guess he tried to keep it balanced. What he achieved is as following: you need to memorize UFO color combos to try and have as many lives as possible when reaching bosses, because the death count will be unnaturally high compared to other Touhous.

My SanaeB 1cc of Normal chained only for bombs.
MarisA and SanaeA chained reds.

IN extra
I perfected everything, even caught the rings of death.
I am then forced to deathbomb on Possessed by Phoenix's second phase because I did it the Kefit way and got walled on the top of the screen. Caught Hourai DOLL. Too depressed to do well on Imperishable Shooting.
I'm never, ever doing it this way again, someone tell me a different, consistent way to do the second phase.
-
lol I just died on Kaguya on Normal.
I mean, wtf?
-
someone tell me a different, consistent way to do the second phase.
circle tapping
-
I still mess up going in circles occasionally, which is why I didn't trust myself to capture it in my NF run.
-
someone tell me a different, consistent way to do the second phase.
but... but... the Kefit method is the different, consistent way. :(
-
It's not consistent if your sense of rhythm sucks.
I tap too slow and get hit, I tap too fast and get walled, no exceptions. I at least usually get it the other way.
-
AAAAAAGGGGGGHGHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHHHAAA
SA stage 6 1DNB
ON THE SECOND BoWaP FAIRY
YOU'D SWEAR I'M DOING THIS ON PURPOSE ;_;
-
It's not consistent if your sense of rhythm sucks.
Just tap to the music, zero sense of rhythm required. Unlike, say, Blazing Wheel.
I'm absolutely puzzled at Jaimers failing it, but then again the recent flurry of IN extra runs has seen a lot of strange mistakes by top players.

I can capture Blazing Wheel with my eyes closed, yet I can't do the second phase consistently worth crap.
Anyway, I just thought of a fun challenge: Capture Subterranean Sun on the top of the screen.

It is really fun. I did it on Normal mode with ReimuC, it was pretty fun just bombing the entire Okuu battle :V
Also, two 1DNB EoSD Extra runs. Both ruined by Counter Clock.
I fucking hate this card :(
-
Also, two 1DNB EoSD Extra runs. Both ruined by Counter Clock.
I was going to say something like would you people stop failing at the easiest things but I just ragequit a no-focus EoSD extra run after being L?vatein'ed SO HARD
-
Tapping to the music doesn't always help. While Blazing Wheel's rhythm is close to something you can hear in the music, I wouldn't say it's precisely on beat (judging from memory here), and that can definitely throw someone off. I do use a rhythm, but I try not to focus on the music so much as the rhythm itself. Doing it that way has never failed me.
And Jaimers, doesn't your challenge mean only ReimuC and MarisaB can beat SS without timing it out? Unless ReimuB's homing shots go backwards, but I've never tried that.
-
Tapping to the music doesn't always help.
Blazing Wheel
I never meant that Blazing Wheel is meant to be taken on by tapping to the music, in fact I was saying the complete opposite: that PbP's second phase is easier because you can tap to the music there, unlike in Blazing Wheel where you have to find the rhythm yourself.
Just tap to the music, zero sense of rhythm required. Unlike, say, Blazing Wheel.
And Suwako's second card is evil for no-focus. :(
-
Meanwhile, I suck at Blazing Wheel and have never successfully done the second phase of PbP via the "tapping method." Yay. \o/
-
HURF DURF
I tried SA Lunatic, just to see how far I could get after 1ccing Hard.
Game over on midboss Yuugi.
-
Wow I really fucking suck at Touhou now.
-
Suwako No Focus is a lot harder than I thought it'd be.
Game overed on Maze of Love on an EoSD attempt at No Focus.
Both of these are going to be painful if I try to clear without focusing.
-
Is PCB extra no-vert hard or what
Wizard Fox Thoughts: x-1/x
On the bright side, I was this close to capturing Chen's first card.
-
Died to Parsee's first boss card because I wasn't paying attention. Stage 1 or 2 kills my runs almost every time now.
Yamame went differently than usual in capturing her opener and bombing her final instead of the other way. I can't consistently do either.
Edit: Failed an SA Lunatic 1cc as Utsuho was in the small phase after her lifebar is depleted.
-
SA lunatic: what is this i dont even
-
SA lunatic: what is this i dont even
Yeah basically.
Speaking of SA, I'm torn between Rage and "Mild Success" feelings about SA Extra. For the longest time I couldn't even make it to Koishi, then I could hardly take on Ancestors Standing Beside Your Bed... and then today I made it up to having four lives at one point.
But I'm already getting sick of SA Extra. Because I herp so much derp. I can capture just about anything SA Extra throws at me, honestly, from what I've seen (Only made it up to Rorsach In Danmaku) but then I don't and I die and that just hurts even more D:
-
IN extra without Border Team for the first time.
Death on Xu-Fu

Sakuya speed is disturbing when you play normaly with Reimu/Yukari. I went ATAGHATAGHA. No bombs for rings of death.
-
1 Death timeout of "PSS". The death happened at the 10 seconds before I timed it out.
The death was very avoidable, I just clipped the wall while moving up.
-
2 death no bomb timeout of Ooe followed by
3 death no bomb timeout of Ooe followed by
two 4 death no bomb timeouts of Ooe.
Maybe I shouldn't even try. It's was pretty much luck that got me my one capture anyway.
Edit: Tried timing out some stage 1 stuff just to do it.
Kisume's bucket lasers: Success :)
Yamame's Opener: 3 deaths no bombs :(
Yamame's first card: 1 death no bomb :(
Yamame's second noncard no safespot: Success :)
Yamame's final: 3 deaths no bombs :(
-
Woo is still a hard attack and Fujiyama volcano still destroys me. Beating it is still pretty far away
Hollow Giant "Wu" 's attacks, except for the initial red one at the start of each 'loop', is aimed at you. If you follow Mokou and go over her head, from the left, up, and around, she'll be firing them all at the cieling/sides. The end result is that only a tiny number of bullets are spawned in comparison.
Fujiyama Volcano is still bullshit though.
-
Fujiyama Volcano can be memorized, then it's just a matter of not messing it up.
-
The better I get at SA
and UFO, the worse I am at PCB >_>
Stage 4 Practice finished with 2 lives left. What the hell dfjslkfjdslkfj
Then again I didn't bomb
-
The better I get at SA and UFO, the worse I am at PCB >_>
You have no idea how much this affects me. Except it also carries over to IN, and strangely enough not EoSD.
I guess I should probably just stick to PC-98 + MoF-> for the sake of keeping my skills consistent. Or, I could try and skew it like a specialist. Which is probably the best course of action for me :V
Anyway, I'm going to RAEG at the fact that I did a TAS "revision" of "PSS"; only to realize at the end of the Spell Card that the RNG was in my favor for the entire duration (no "uppercutting" umbrellas while I was dodging walls, the corners were safe, and more), which meant that it was actually possible for me to legitimately time it out without doing anything extreme other than "supergrazing".
-
God I'm inconsistent at the second pellet hell section. I've been testing an earlier time for the first cutback with some success, but I keep hitting random bullets in the worst ways. And I'm almost convinced that the pellets are programmed to see into the future - how else can they be such effective killers?

Got distracted by someone during Honest Man's Death causing me to lose 2 lives and 5 bombs that could have gotten me past the rings of death with solo Reimu and maybe a clear. Instead, I arrive at them 0/0.
How much does Graze, Time, and Lives/bombs factor into score anyway?

Hydro Camouflage is so clippy. I'm pretty sure I died several times a row when nothing even touched me.
And I got denied a capture right as I depleted the lifebar on it.
Also, Spin the Cephalic Plate is nowhere near as easy as it looks.
-
Yet another perfect EoSD Extra run ruined by Q.E.D.
I remember when I first started trying this. My fourth try, I had a random clipdeath from nowhere on Flan's second midspell, but figured that was natural given my skill level at the time (could barely 1cc Normal), and continued. And perfected everything. And captured Q.E.D. for the first time. And then screamed.
-
I'm glad I was hit by a few of Kaguya's Last Spells, because if I wasn't that would have been a perfect run of Hard mode FinalB ruined by getting hit right before capturing Buddhist Diamond.

It looks fairly legitimate if doing Honest Man's Death that way comes down to muscle memory like I think it does.

I think it's okay to suspect, because there was also this PoFV Reimu vs. Cirno (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwYBP7bABhw) video lying around in his channel :V
0:52.

he didn't even focus :V
-
Goddamnit, why can't anything go right for me these days?
Perfect run ruined at Subterranean Sun. TWICE.
Failed a capture of Parasol Star Memories. The card ended by my deathwave.
Lost count how many times QED ruined a perfect run, maybe I should just give in and use MarisaA...

Yeah, that looks pretty suspicious. You don't dodge some of those waves without focusing, you just don't.

Another IN Hard FinalB run
Fail Brilliant Dragon Bullet, Fail Buddhist Diamond, fail kaguya's 3rd Last Spell.
Perfect stage portion, every other nonspell and spellcard captured. Fuck.

Lately, Flandre has decided "'y'know what? I'm gonna sit here on the side of the screen, where Marisa can't hit me at all. And I will stay here for the whole time until she gets hit. And then I will move back into her range."
FOR THREE RUNS IN A ROW

Why is Border Team the popular choice again?
I just game overed to fucking Keine while trying to use them.
-
IN's shottypes all work differently and require their own strategies to be handled well. People seem way to quick to judge teams that they don't use because they try to play them like their main team and go wtf when they start failing at everything.
-
Why is Border Team the popular choice again?
Because it's normally the players' first choice. That being said, it also carries a lot of "survival" advantages over other teams, which furthers this bias.
Even though I did 1cc first with the Netherworld Team, I'm still without a doubt, much better with the Border Team due to overusage / over-reliance.
-

This. Also the Border Team is noob friendly because of homing, and even if it's such a pain to have Ran lock on anything, the damage is pretty decent when focused as well.
-
no, SCREW YOU DONUT, UFO is a terrible, terrible, objectively bad game
-
The problem I have with them is that the homing does crap damage and doesn't clear enemies quickly enough to prevent having a lot of crap shot at you.
It doesn't do me any good if I have to dodge lots of dense attacks in the later part of stage 2, most of stage 3, parts of stage 4, and the first half of stage 5.
I'd probably do better with the fucking Scarlet Team, and I don't even play them.
Edit: just tried and game overed on Boss Reimu. Died with bombs in stock before her then died with 6 bombs in stock on the last life, so I probably could have made it to stage 5.

http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7101
Blind runs FTL.

Yukari can't cover everything and Reimu's too weak and takes too long to cover stuff.
I almost never have issues with stage 5 in practice, but occasionally that part does go bad.

I know this will only incite further theshim RAAAAAAGE (tm), but considering midboss Nue is all but static this is hardly the game's fault. :V
-
Yeah, the deaths there were my fault.
The fact that the game is godawful, is ZUN's.
-
I don't care how many of you say UFO is a bad game, until you give me a satisfactory answer WHY it is so bad other than the fact that you need to learn a smart and practical UFO route I will never stop defending it.
-
The game features the highest bullet density to date (especially stages 3 to 5) while REQUIRING the player to move around the screen chasing the UFOs. The UFOs, in addition, are often obscured by the bullets to the point that you accidentally pick up ones you don't want, leading to you having to EVADE POWERUPS to keep an ideal chain going. And your argument about "learning a smart and practical UFO route" translates simply to FORCED MEMORIZATION more than any skill whatsoever. It is counterintuitive to everything a danmaku game should be and pisses me off to no end.
-
I haven't seen replays of everyone's performances, so I can't be sure, but taking ShiningDrake's replay he sent me as an example, you guys are overthinking the UFOs waaaaay too much. And "forced memorization?" Hardly more than the rest of the series requires. Even if you mess up a chain, it SHOULDN'T be the end of your run because you can just pick up your chaining later. As for the highest bullet density, UFO DOES have above-average difficulty danmaku. It also gives you a ton of resources to combat that (see my stage 5 replay I posted yesterday).
The only point I'll grant you guys is that the stage portion of stage 3 is terrible.
-
No , SA is worse than UFO.
-
No , SA is worse than UFO.
Distinctly false. SA may or may not be more difficult, but it is well-designed. UFO is garbage.
-
Wait, danmaku games aren't all about memorization? That's news to me. :V

1. No.
2. Once you understand the mechanics of the changing UFO colours, then it's not a problem at all.
3+4. Isn't this a standard of just about any Shmup (danmaku or other)? Isn't it recommended that you memorize stage portions in other games anyway? Just to give a recent example, the issue of IN STAGE 3.
Cut: yep.
The only point I'll grant you guys is that the stage portion of stage 3 is terrible.
Dodge or die good sir.
-
SA is much fairer than UFO is.
Difficulty is fine, but UFO screwed the difficulty transition that the other games had. Going from normal to Hard or Hard to Lunatic wasn't too bad in the other games. UFO Normal is way too easy, and I've only ever made it to stage 4 of UFO Hard on one credit once, then I couldn't clear it with continues(was lazy at the time though and I probably have been stuck on stage 6 if I continued).
UFO Hard is harder than most of the Lunatics. I have the skill needed to 1cc IN, PoFV, MoF, and SA Lunatics but haven't succeeded on any. I don't have the skill to 1cc UFO Hard. The only other Hards I haven't 1cc'd are HRtP(but this doesn't count), SoEW(but this one is pointless due to Lunatic), PoDD, MS(haven't tried enough), EoSD(could but haven't bothered), PCB(I fail at this game, lol can't consistently 1cc Normal), and the fighting games(but these don't count either)
Hell, I got the farthest in SA Lunatic than the others. Sure, I made it to Hourai Jewel in IN, Kanako's final nonspell in MoF, but I have actually depleted all of Utsuho's lifebars but failed after that.
-
I understand this, but why? Why? Other than the difficulty being harder I don't see how this automatically makes it impossible. My progression of learning the parts of the stages and the attacks of the bosses was normal, even a little faster since I'm a lot better than I was when SA came out. Yet I'm in the vast minority. Why is that? Is it because "I'm Donut?" Or is it some thing I and a few others have figured out that has escaped everyone else?
Please don't get me wrong people, I'm not trying to rub this in your face. I want to help you guys in any way I can, but if I don't even know specifically what you're going AAAGGHGHGAGHAGGHHHH over I can't do that. :(
-
Some people just don't like it.
sry dude

"I'm Donut?"
What kind?
Also , CANT BEAT DAMN NORMAL MODE ON EOSD WITHOUT BACKING UP INTO BULLET.

Some people just don't like it.

If you guys can't respect me not liking PoFV, I can't respect your guy's dislike of UFO. We gotta start somewhere.
What kind?
Strawberry if you must know.
Getting back on-topic, everyone hates UFO and it makes me rage. :V
-
Also, if it weren't for EoSD and the games before it, UFO would have the worst scoring systems in the series.
Too much randomness. In EoSD, the randomness didn't mess you up anywhere near what UFO does. Usually the same for any other random attacks in other games. Sometimes you get bad luck, but not nearly as often as UFO.
UFO system and availability of lots of lives and bombs gave Zun a bad excuse to throw lots more near undodgeable BS at you.
-
Getting back on-topic, everyone hates UFO and it makes me rage. :V

EoSD is streaming followed by Remilia. Like LLS, but with a booby trap at the end.

Oh, I forgot one more thing that drives me absolutely insane: the power system SUCKS SO HARD, especially losing a full power every time you die.
If you guys can't respect me not liking PoFV, I can't respect your guy's dislike of UFO. We gotta start somewhere.
I have no problem with you not liking PoFV; I'm not that big a fan of it either. I'd still rather play it than UFO, but that's apparently just me.
Then again, PoFV is an entirely different subset of BS, but I don't expect the same things from it as I would from the single player ones.
EDIT: Ah screw it, that was just a bunch of trolling. Trolling UFO, but still trolling.
-
On the subject of UFO hate: Slowdown during Ichirin and Murasa.
(Not to be confused with slowdown during Utsuho's first card)
On the subject of SA hate: Clipdeath (hi Satori/Parsee), the entire Yugi fight, etc.
-
I think ZUN started going a bit crazy with the difficulty from SA onwards. SA isn't all that bad, though going from hard to lunatic is going to be AHGHAGHAHG at first impact, but UFO is fucking insane. To UFO's credit: good bombs. I still have no idea why he changed the idea from "end bad cards early" to "cancel bullets for a while and
cripple you do less damage" in SA.
-
Just failed a few Hourai Jewel timeout attempts at 22 seconds left. I know I can do this. It's not that hard of a spell once you know when to turn around, but I keep messing up.

But didn't you 1cc Hard?
I'd like it with all shot types actually just so I can see which one works best for me.
-
I feel so damn close to perfecting SA Stage 5 Hard. I just have to stop dying in the pellet hell sections like a n00b. Even the Catwalk feels easier - my history suggests a 40% capture rate, but that includes back when I rarely caught it to begin with. I'm also still ironing out a few kinks for "Small Demon's Revival", but I can see my progress there at least. It's those pellet hells that keep taunting me...
And I've just remembered how much of a chore it's become to try perfecting Stage 4 Hard. Fucking DBDB...
MoF Hard.
I don't bomb enough.

MoF is not the most stream-heavy game out there. But I do agree with "don't move much".

Agreed.
Sanae is lollastcard but the rest is bomb.
You should only be bombing her first nonspell (sometimes) and first 2 spells.

I can't tell if you're giving it a good or bad light...
Stage 5 is killing me for no reason.
Learn the patterns. It's noticeably easier than Stage 4.

Here. >_< (http://rapidshare.com/files/343038202/scoreth12.dat.html) FYI, my score.dat has extra unlocked for all shot types (and beaten for that matter), Reimu A 1cc'd on all difficulties and all stages open, normal open for all shot types, and Sanae B has hard open and the first three stages of lunatic open. That good enough?
Why doesn't Touhou 10 , 11 , and 12 have the same feel as the previous games?
ZUN moved to a new engine. The major difference is that the bullets all got new hitboxes.

You should only be bombing her first nonspell (sometimes) and first 2 spells.
I can "capture" her first nonspell, just not sit at the bottom.
Stage 4 is sex.
I can't tell if you're giving it a good or bad light...
I am giving bombs.
Stage 5 is killing me for no reason.
Learn the patterns. It's noticeably easier than Stage 4.
No reason means : run into a bullet randomly.
I am using naturally ReimuB, she seems to make card very short, I think of Hina bullshit last card that last 5 seconds, and it is enough !

UFO lunatic: FFSUDAIUGHGHJGHKJKLJG.
Okay here's the ZUN timeline:
EoSD, PCB, IN, MoF, to an extent SA: a few random and difficult cards here and there (Aya's survival?), but figure out the trick mostly.
UFO: fuck whatever have some random spam with crazy bullet speeds.
-
The fuck, why am I chain-dying in IN stage 3 all of a sudden, that shit's easy.
-
Got hit on Hourai Jewel with 12 seconds left. I'm up to 105 attempts to time this thing out. I should have had it under 30.

If it makes you feel better, it took me 173 tries to beat Kaguya's LW with Magic Team.
Still raging about that, since it took me four with the Scarlet Team, but I was going for all LWs captured with Magics :V
-
Got it down to 6 seconds on try #119. The best I've done since then was 14 seconds left, and I'm nearing try 160.
-
Failed a 1D timeout of Superhuman at the last second >:(
-
Aya just killed me 3 times then Komachi killed me twice.
Who has a list of characters that do not fight
Aya
Komachi
Both(I know Komachi is on this one but Yuka just kills me 3 times instead or Reimu just kicks more ass than usual)
Edit: Just tried out Mystia. Medicine killed me twice though. I remembered her being much easier than that. Still easier than Aya though. This was my first time trying Lunatic with Mystia. Yuka also killed me once, though I had managed to take her to her last life on round one. Made it to Shikieiki.
Another Edit with a different pic: Fuck you Shikieiki. I fucking hate you, go die already, damn it. Beating stage 8 on first try was great though, but damn it Shiki.

I'd very highly recommend Cirno for PoFV. Fights Aya and Yuka. I have less trouble with Aya than with Medicine (though both destroy me) but I can reliably clear Yuka in 1 death, and frequently without dying at all.
-
Marisa, it's official. You have 10 tries. If you don't get to Stage 5 at least twice, I'll quit using you.
Technically, I know it's Murasa's fault. Somewhat. Does anybody have a good, Normal replay of UFO?
-
PoDD lunatic 2cc with Marisa
Would have been a 1cc if I didn't die FOUR TIMES to Chiyuri thus getting a game-over. She went completely insane! Every boss I shot down, another would take it's place immediately! I just couldn't cope with my resources! Stage 8 took freaking 16 minutes! >:(
What really aggravates me is that I beat her on the first round after using a continue. >_>
Died twice to Yumemi, but only because I was playing like a retard in the first round.
How is Marisa actually placed, tier wise?
-
How is Marisa actually placed, tier wise?
Her L1 laser obliterates boss summons, which is a good thing, even though I prefer L1s which can hit the sides so I can move around without looking. Hitting the AI in the later stages seems to be a matter of luck, mostly you'll be hoping to trap it between two lasers and having something slam it from a side. All in all, pretty average. Sort of a less extreme Chiyuri, with a much more friendly movement speed.
edit: GODFUCKINDAMNIT I completely forgot how to deal with Reimu's L2/L3 - I know it's just a tap to the side but there was something else I can't remember.
edit#2: AAAGGHGHGAGHAGGHHHH
-
Aaaaaand it just happened again.
Jesus fucking Christ Chiyuri.
-
I just died on Kokkuri-san's Contract at 1 second left for the third time. At this rate, it seems like I'll never capture it or Boundary of Humans and Youkai, where I've had the same thing happen.
-
Played Mass Effect 2 this week, then went to IN and found out I forgot how to deal with everything. Game Over at Keine. Jesus Christ why the hell does she have an easy mode spell card in lunatic by the way?

I have a replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6372) but "good" doesn't really apply to Stages 5-6. >_>
Still, if you want, watch it and try the UFO chain I use, I lets you get to near-max lives and bombs by the time you reach Ichirin.

what the hell is happening to me
gameover at the prismrivers
what the hell
edit: I think I should play PCB more than once per month, that could help
edit#2: how the hell do I have 100% on Spring Kyoto Dolls and 0% on Maiden's Bunraku and Chalk-White Russia Dolls
edit#3: so I managed to 1cc PCB lunatic which means I'm back to failing MoF despite reatching Kanako with multiple lives. had to bomb her opener twice (ReimuA - too lazy to remember the stages), two clipdeaths vs. Divining Crop, and more or less lost the will to live at Yamato Torus.

Playing Touhou with a semi-responsive Right-directional button. Clipdeaths ahoy.

A red bullet appeared from offscreen going twards you, why I have no clue.
And can someone please tell me why Hollow Giant allways gets rid of multiple lives and bombs. I went from a 3/3 to 0/1 this last run

You're doing it wrong. Sweep over Mokou's head moderately after the initial fixed wave (The red one) to redirect her shots upwards, which results in far less bullets on the screen.

Thats what I've been doing, and I still fail miserably. Why is that card so annoyingly hard.

If you're using the 'circle around Mokou' method, you could always try the Kefit method (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tACAYUgYcBs#t=3m35s) instead, which just has you misdirecting the shots to the right. I have no idea how people do the circling method anyway, I find it makes the card way harder than it needs to be.
-
Hmm, I should be able to capture everything in Mountain of Faith's easy mode pretty easily...
Divine Festival "Expanded Onbashira" - 15/15
Rice Porridge in Tube "God's Rice Porridge" - 14/15
No problem. The later spells should go just as pla--
Sacrifice Sign "Misayama Hunting Shrine Ritual" - 5/15
Heaven's Stream "Miracle of Otensui" - 2/15
"Mountain of Faith" - 0/15
...why? Why must Kanako be so difficult? Eirin's cards were cake compared to those last two.

Game over on Vajra.
Things I need to work on:
Kogasa's last two cards: Gotten both, but I usually bomb both.
Stage 3: DURRRRRRRRRR
Ichirin's opener: Can't read this worth a damn.
Ichirin's first two cards: First is an autobomb, second I know how to do but manage to screw up every time anyway.
Murasa's second and third noncards: I'm pretty consistent, but I still clip them too often.
Murasa's second card: Usually end up bombing it unless I get lucky.
Murasa's third card: Can't do this worth a damn; I know it's static, but argh.
NOT DYING ON THE FIRST WAVE OF DIPPER CREEPING CLOSE
NOT DYING TWICE ON DIPPER CREEPING CLOSE
Basket lazors: I clip these just about every time
Nazrin's midboss card: I capped it with two power for the first time. No walls this time. Usually there are. Argh.
Shou's first two noncards: Oh what the hell.
Radiant Treasure Gun: lolbomb
Aura of Justice: No, this is easy, why do I keep dying?
Vajra: DURRRRRRRRRRR
Demon of Purification: I just suck at this.
Everything after Cloudy Way in Purple.

AAAGGHGHSDGGHAHGAHAAHHH PoDD
Died 3 times to Chiyuri, twice to Yumemi.
Used Kana this time. I really like her! Her movement speed allows you to effectively dodge things! :o
Plus, her charge speed is great and her level 1 is almost as awesome as Reimu's.
How is Kana tier wise? :V
I want to 1cc with a non "broken" character.

Without even watching the replay I'm going to guess that you encountered the bullet bug where there are 1-2 stray bullets which are bouncing off the bottom of the screen when they're clearly not supposed to; essentially a "ninja" bullet

If you're using Kanananananana, be prepared for 8 min+ victories. I'm serious.

This. For a 1st 1cc, the risk simply isn't worth it, unless you're using ReimuB.
Also: I do recall having a 1cc (or something close to one...?) where I left S3 0/2, and pulled myself to 5 lives by Syou.
-
DO YOU PEOPLE HONESTLY THINK I'M DUMB ENOUGH TO TRY VAJRA IF I HAVE BOMBS LEFT
sheesh give me some credit here people
-
Yes. Actually.
Because I for one think Vajra is pretty easy.
:V
More on hand, I love it how capture rates for certain Spell Cards can range from 1 in 5 to 1 in 15. Or in another case, 2 in 3 to 1 in 10.
The difference? About 10 seconds. No, not even; maybe 6.
-
PCB, Hard, Chen Alice and Sister Prismriver. You wanna know how that goes for me? Look at the thread title. I run out of continues on Prismriver, thats right, every 1 of my *5* continues, gone. Why? Cause I get hit as Spellcards die, or I'm facing Doemen-Seimen or I'm facing Alice or I'm facing Sister Prismriver :V They really don't want me to beat my 1st Touhou shooter on Hell/Hard Mode :V
-
Reached Murasa's survival card on Lunatic. Had no lives remaining. Keyboard decides the down key should get stuck. I die.
In this run i even got very close to perfecting Stage 2 but i got hit by a seal at the few seconds of Kogasa's final spell. >:(
-
Godammit Momiji Inubashiri, Why must your normal attack be so much harder than the other bosses?!?
it probably isnt to most people, but it confuses the shit outta me. I always end up running into the bullets myself >:(
speaking of which, greater fairies kept getting me this time as well, kept killing and running up to collect on previous rounds when the screen clears... shouldnt have kept doing that at the waterfall lol
-
2 more game overs, 1 on Basket Lazors, one on Shou's second noncard.
This is getting so far past retarded I'm at a loss to describe it.
-
I give up.
How the hell do you tackle Lunatic Stage 3 UFO.
I just can't do it. I can reach mid-boss Ichirin using one bomb fairly reliably. The stage goes downhill from there. I just tried it about 10 times in a row and failed to reach boss Ichirin on a single try, because thoes bloody waves of fairies with the spread-aimed bullets... they wreck my shit something fierce. I don't even know where to start. BOMB BOMB DEATH BOMB BOMB DEATH OH LOOK GAME OVER.

For the end of stage fairies, go in a clockwise circle across the screen, shooting down the big fairies as your coming down.
Stop circling and go slowly down the bottom of the screen after the second big fairy.
It's best not to summon a UFO during this as it blocks your shots.
Visual demonstration. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuoBEDsRyig)
As for me, I just died four times to Rikako, what the hell.
I'm getting too tired for Touhou. Let's play Touhou Labyrinth! :V

Game overed on stage 2 of UFO Hard because I clipdeathed everything in it. Stage 1 was perfect.
constant clipdeath + shitty power system + luckshit spells.
-
My laptop being unable to register 5+ keys at the same time. So 2 deaths with two bombs in stock in UFO Extra because I moved diagonally while focused and shooting.
-
"Mountain of Faith" - 0/22
Ugh... Maybe playing IN Normal will get me used to squeezing through small gaps like that.
-
I just tried EoSD today. And damn, how do some of you even bear playing this game? There are so many broken bullet hitboxes it's not even funny. I had trouble just beating Remilia on Normal with continues. Admittedly, I still have to get used to no visible hitbox on Marisa, but IMO she controls a lot like in PCB, so it's not like I'm starting from scratch. Maybe this is some demented way of teaching me proper bomb management...

GOD
DAMN

Get to Byakuren 2/0.
Walled on her opener, die twice on Cloudy Way. No bombs.
GODDAMNIT ALL

Just tried another No vertical 1cc on IN Normal. Like the first time I tried it, I game overed on Reisen's final spell. But I made several mistakes, so it should have been possible to make it to final B.
I really do think it's at least possible, but it's just fucking hard. You would need the 800 extend or just not get hit as much earlier on to beat Kaguya, and even then it'd be very tough to clear her with 1 or 2 lives. Seems possible in theory though.
-
It is really fucking hard trying to beat an Extra Stage without having ever watched any replays or asked for any advice. Curse my everlasting desire to improve myself!
Also, fuck you Nue. You and your red UFOs and your Undefined Darkness can go die in a hole.

For Red UFOs, I place myself on the side of the screen before the UFOs come out. That misdirects the shining bullets' aim. Once they start moving, head to the bottom-center, wait for a gap in the UFOs, and fly forward until you're in or near shotgunning range. You'll have to do some dodging at that point, since you're basically flying into a cloud of bullets, but it works. Red UFOs is a real hit-or-miss card, I'd say. You basically destroy it without thinking or you die like six times. ):
-
I'm posting without having read your post, but seriously, I don't want advice :V
-
Apparently, I can't do Byakuren's Final Spell Card anymore because apparently I was trying to do it No Vert for so long that it now affects how I parse the bullets.
A perfect Stage 6 run with ReimuB ruined by just that. How stupid.
-
I had to retry PCB Stage 1 FOUR times and only got to perfect Letty in the end FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-
A 2DNB Chen and a 5DNB Alice. I cannot feel my hitbox anymore.
-
Timed out the card before Murasa's Survival on Hard right when I was about to capture it.
-
Wasn't it supposed to be an accomplishment ? :V
-
Maybe if I had captured the thing before.
-
Almost beat MS Extra with no Deaths.
Then I fucked up on the last phase and Game Over'd. Like, seriously fucked up.
-
Tried taking a screenshot of it, but it only ended up as just a black box with nothing else.
Game overed on Shinki's Devil's Recitation on Hard. That would have been a 1cc if I didn't die with 3 bombs on the stage 2 boss after letting the midboss bomb fall off the screen then die with 2 bombs in stock on Alice.
-
so I just spent over an hour restarting the first two and a half stages of UFO
my GOD I hate this game so much

- Greatest/Radiant Treasure
- Vaijra
- Clipdeath in bullshit purple clouds
- May be Star Maelstrom, getting better at it though.
Dunno about you lot, but Miracle Fruit finally made sense after practicing with Byakuren a bit on that non-spell...
Any others?
-
I don't know why but everything Byakuren does makes me hate ZUN. First there's the 1st spellcard which idea of difficulty is giving you no room to move. And for some reason it has suddenly become completely impossible while other times it is more manageable. Then there is second spell. If you at any time forget what you are doing, there is no way to save it. You are screwed. Then there is third spellcard. That's so fucking cheap because of the rate of fire for the stars. The fourth spellcard... JUST HOW THE HELL ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DODGE THAT? Things come out of nowhere insanely fast, it is so easy to be walled, there is lasers that move around spastically and those rapid-fire arrowheads serve no purpose but to make things even harder to read.
Finally there is Legendary Flying Saucer. Just what the hell is up with that? At the final waves things are so freaking impossible! This is several times harder than VoWG Lunatic. Is there something i'm missing?

Superhuman isn't that bad and Devil's Recitation is actually fun and not too hard.

-
Devil's Recitation is actually fun and not too hard.
Your post can't do anything to me but come up with a maniacal laughter. If just i maybe could get to face it with a little more than 2xx power left... I just don't get what's so fun about it. Maybe its because of all the traumatic experiences i have had with it.
Take this instance for example. I was dodging stuff and everything was going fine and then the laser hits me. I think its one of those cards you can only lose because some way to fast object hit you and not because you failed your reading. Even if the card is legitimate and fun... there is still no way i would ever be able to enjoy it because of how horrible Stage 6 is. Seriously! Am i the only one who finds the stage portion disgustingly boring? I hate, hate, haaate that stage. Its so lame. And you have to do well at it because UFO have crappy power system! Yay for that! Which means that i'd basically have to start over if i don't do well enough at the 1st spellcard because if i don't do well i won't have enough power to have a chance at anything beyond that.
There is only very few things good about UFO imo. Radiant Treasure Gun is the only good spellcard i remember from UFO Lunatic. On Hard mode things are a lot better because they aren't designed for masochists. I truly understand why Kefit wouldn't want anything to do with it because honestly, he ain't really missing out.
-
Devil's Recitation is dodging. Nothing more, nothing less.
No criss cross semi static crap, no tewi lasers, no wallshit, no memorization.
The hitboxes are rather friendly as well.
-
At first, I thought "Devil's Recitation" was fairly ridiculous as well. Then I learnt that the Spell Card itself actually gave enough room for you to misdirect and not wall yourself in. And then I realized that the bullets bouncing off the walls actually gave you a fair bit of time to notice their trajectories... if you're actively searching for the bullets. This would be one of those rare few Spell Cards where it's best to increase your field of vision as far as you can make it go without losing sight of your hitbox. Just be fortunate that you're not using ReimuB. At 1.xx Power.
Devil's Recitation is dodging. Nothing more, nothing less.
Everything save for the second* is this. And maybe the last is an exception as well based on how it's actually aimed with a tiny bit of RNG incorporated into it.
*Excluding Non-Spells
(un)Fun Fact: Power and Shot Type dictates 50-90% of the difficulty.

Would you believe it if I said 12 out of 18 of my successful captures were done at one power ? :V
Finally there is Legendary Flying Saucer. Just what the hell is up with that? At the final waves things are so freaking impossible! This is several times harder than VoWG Lunatic. Is there something i'm missing?
When there are walls, look for gaps on the sides. And stay low.

Byakuren is my favorite fight in the series. >:| First, Cloudy Nirvana in PURPLE PURPLE WAY is only that way if you stay at the bottom. Second, Magic Butterfly is so easy to remember that I almost never lose to it anymore. Magic Milky Way, while a little cheap, is still down to your dodging. Devil's Recitation is supposed to be misdirected and looks fucking awesome. Superhuman...well, Superhuman's dumb, yeah, but a single bomb with Reimu A will trivialize it. LFO is lots of fun in intense dodging and reading.
-
Well it doesn't matter anymore. That stage is god awful. I hate everything about it! Its not just the core game that have serious flaws, stage 6 is too boring and i have no choice but to try over and over again until i'm capable to handle these spellcards which is gonna be soul crushingly tedious.
-
Superhuman is easy.
Purple is not :V
-
Byakuren is the BEST fight in the series >:(
*dodge bullets coming from Yuyu and Okuu fans*
P.S. Superhuman is awesome fun. But I've lost my consistency on it.
-
I never reached lunatic Byakuren. And at the current pace it'll be another few months before I do. :(
Byakuren is the BEST fight in the series >:(
*dodge bullets coming from Yuyu and Okuu fans*
You forgot the Shinki fans. Now you can start dodging.
-
Kaguya here.
Also the only final boss that I really care about wanting to perfect some day. But Lunatic 1cc has to come first. The idea of doing that with Border team though, maybe I'll just 7 lives it for them.
-
I don't know what you guys see in Byakuren. Her music is awesome but her spells reeks of poor design. But that is of course something that in this case cannot be argued for with objectivity. I hate her boss battle. I simply find it cheap and the stage before it is dreadfully boring and i hate to have to repeat it over and over again.
If you enjoy fighting Byakuren then congratulations. I'll just stick to Orin, Satori, Utsuho, Kanako, Yuugi (one spellcard is the reason for this), Marisa, Youmu, Alice and all of my other favorite battles.
This replay though give me a little peace with Byakuren as it shows that i at least managed to win at some of her cards and also one of the reasons i absolutely despise Devil's Recitation.
Getting killed in such a manner... i find it so frustrating. If someone would see the replay and check if i'm even doing Devil's Recitation properly, i would appreciate it.

Doing it "properly"... There's almost no way to tell. Almost.
I noticed that you linger around the bottom half of the screen. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. But, you did get hit by quite an avoidable laser. General rule: when ever you feel trapped (all "phases" except the "Final") move to the side; which you did do; and charge straight up unfocused; which you didn't do. You have a much greater chance of survival if you do this, though you still have to watch for stray bullets.
Also, for "Cloudy Omen" (or whatever)...

Move your hitbox up to around the red line initially; it really helps. You're allowed to move backwards after dodging the few initial waves; just saying. Who knows, you might be able to have a capture rate like my revised one as shown.

You know WHAT SA? Fuck you. Fuck your stage 1, fuck your shitty designed stage that belongs in Shuusou Gyoku, fuck your arbitrary bullshit, and FUCK YOU YAMAME'S OPENER. You are one of the worst designed attacks in the entire series. I know you can be misdirected, but you're still SHIT. SHIT SHIT SHIT.
Honestly, how can so many people hate UFO and love SA? SA is awful all around! My second least favorite shooter, only winning out over SoEW. Stage 1 is the worst stage in the series (I know I said HRtP stage 17 Jigoku route, but an hour and a half trying to perfect SA stage 1 reminded me how horrible this is), stage 2 is gimmicky and boring, stage 3...well, stage 3 rocks, stage 4 is full of clipdeath, stage 5 has overly long BS that isn't near as fun as MoF stage 4's post-Momizi BS, and stage 6 is boring as all hell.
-
fuck your shitty designed stage that belongs in Shuusou Gyoku
Whoa...this is the most heavy insult that SA ever received...
-
Nazrin Pendulum on hard mode. Without SanaeB or MarisaA.
I mean... what the hell.
Somebody show me a (non-practice) replay of UFO hard stage 1 with MarisaB where you capture Pendulum, because I am starting to believe a capture is impossible with the little amount of power you are given in the stage.
Edit: Okay, it is possible, but still, daymnnn...

Oh well ... but SA still ranks higher than PCB and PoFV in my list.
-
Donut.
Let's brofist.
-
The only thing wrong with SA is Yamame's opener.
I've only perfected stage 1 once, and that was during a 1cc run where I messed up and died on stage 2 causing me to ragequit.
Okay, stage 2 and 6 are boring as well.
And I clipdeath more on UFO than in SA.
-
Byakuren is a pretty fun fight. And none of her attacks actually wall, which seems more like good design if you ask me.
For "Devils Recition", remember that everything is aimed.
I guess you can memorize it somewhat?
-
I've spent at least an hour restarting stage 1 and the first time I chained the UFOs correctly AND didn't derp idiotically I made a stupid mistake on nazrin boss and missed the deathbomb as well.
WHAT

Can we be friends? :)
I had to tone down my scoring techniques just because I have to retry that stage about 50 times or so to get a desirable stage 1 run. I had fairies point-blanking, Yamame going down and rain hell, Kisume wall and laser clip death, and the most annoying of all, the two big fairy section after the intro cut-in (lol score run).
-
It's failday. I keep derping on stage 1 of any touhou. I quit for today.

Am I the only person who likes SA Stage 1?
---
I got bored, so I decided to play SA Extra ("Yes it's terrible, but why not, at least there's no guesswork in how to do the stage.") Previously, the farthest I've gotten was Danmaku Polygraph, and I had only captured D. Paranoia before.
Cleared the stage with three bombs (two planned at the end, one during Bumper Crop).
Captured Ancestors easily.
Captured D. Paranoia.
Captured Id. (it took a while for me to remember how to do Superego)
Nailed all of the nonspells. Bombed/died whenever I got walled (Rorschach). Dodging Genetics was easy; hitting Koishi wasn't. I couldn't reproduce whatever I saw in Depths replays.
Ran into two small bullets in Sub. Rose.
brb, picking up the pieces of my shattered hopes
-
new rules :V
Can't find any, gief link ^___^

That's because it is actually old rules that were just not enforced before a couple of days ago...
-
Am I the only person who likes SA Stage 1?
I remember when the SA demo came out Kefit said that SA stage 1 is the best stage ZUN has made in a long time. Madman. >_>
Really, I'm calmer now, but I'll never understand how people can bash UFO yet praise SA, which actually does have multiple walling attacks, and IS a clipdeath-fest.
-

You have to memorize stages on UFO. That's why. Every other game in the series lets you get away with "soft" memorization, but UFO's lunatic asks you to memorize fairy entry points or DIE, memorize UFO routes or DIE, memorize when and what to chain or not get enough resources to push through Shou/Byakuren (and DIE sometimes as well), memorize memorize memorize, all things that get in the way of actually enjoying the game for most people.
SA has harder danmaku on average, and stage 1 is stupid, but at least SA doesn't kill you outright for forgetting that big fairy 32 which enters from the right at 2.2 inches below the top of the screen at 1:43 during stage 3 must be killed 0.7 seconds after it appears for a blue UFO fragment which will be red 6.3 seconds later at coordinates X:7.0/Y:4.2 where you must grab it to create a red UFO which will cancel a wall upon appearing and which then must be destroyed 5.2 seconds later to cancel all bullets on the screen or else you're completely fucked.
(edit: bad grammar)
-
Reach Danmaku Chimera for the first time. Proceed to die when there's just a sliver of the health bar left.
Then proceed to commit suicide in stupid ways. Two times.
I am surprised how I'm capable of throwing a run away with just a stupid mistake,=.
-
SA and UFO both suck, but UFO still wins :V
EoSD/PCB/IN fuck yeah
-
I gotta say, BYAKUREN IS A FAT OLD HAG. I hate UFO.
-
As one of those crazy nuts who 1ccs UFO lunatic...you don't have to memorize. >:| Not any more than usual. About the only stage I have a hard route planned for UFOs is stage 5.
/me goes on another spiel about how UFO rocks and you all suck for thinking SA is better
-
SA is annoying but cool and UFO is awesome but way too hard
case settled
-
If it weren't for Yamame's opener I'd have 1cc'd Lunatic already(or just not dying after depleting Utsuho's lifebar). But as it is, my record on Kisume is getting ridiculous because of how much I die to the thing.
Just got an attempt past stage 1 just to die on the post midboss Parsee waves.
-
Both EoSD and PCB suck for having crappy hitboxes and character speed >=(
I would include IN (hitboxes) as well if it weren't for Spell Practice.
And UFO >>>>>>> the rest :V

How do you have a big UFO summoned while simultaneously carrying two red tokens?
Your UFO experience sure is unique.

I was going to point out how it shows him having 2 UFO pieces after destroying the UFO. I wish I could keep 2 Red UFOs at all times so that i could actually 1cc it on anything higher than Normal.

I spent 20+ attempts to capture all her cards but only 5+ for all the other characters. Yeah, i guess there is some balancing issue here. But of course, if you use MarisaC you are asking for it. :)
-
Died 3 times on Stage 3 and a stupid death on stage 4 during the stage part. I still make it to boss Orin just to clip stuff.
One complete bullshit death on stage 5 when I should have been safe.
If I could quit fucking up Yugi and her stage I'd 1cc this if I didn't mess up on Orin badly.
-
Getting used to Marisa's speed when you're used to lugging Reimu's slow, yukkuri'ing ass around has been like a sage's trial of patience. And just when I'm starting to get the hang of it is the point at which I decide to stop studiously ignoring the fact that my score is pathetic due to my timid, hang-out-at the bottom play style so far. Well. That just won't do, will it? And so it's back to frustration! Be more aggressive! Catch some more of those point tiles high up! Stop flying into bullets! I SAID STOP FLYING INTO BULLETS!!!!!!! >:# ((You might ask why I fail so hard. At Normal. With games overall, I'm one of those people whose skills stubbornly refuse to improve until I mentally reach a breaking point and snap because I'm tired to hell of losing, and get better. Another factor might be that I aim for perfect game from the get-go. Even if you tell me bombs are there to be used... I don't want to! :x And well, if you say lives are there to be lost, I won't believe you. That's just silly.))
PS: Yeah. I snuck a peek at UFO spell cards in the wiki once. Kogasa seems like she'll be unpleasantly reminiscent of Kikuri e.e;;;;;;; Good thing I played Rei'iden.... But my shot probably won't be able to destroy bullets in UFO, will it? X'D Regardless of the much smaller hitbox I'll have, Tatara Kogasa is seeming rather ominous all of a sudden.
-

Hahaha. There's no doubt that most of my stress comes from my irrational perfectionism. But despite that, I'm pretty laid back. Generally the more obscenely retarded the nature of a death, the more I laugh over it. Besides, if I actually do start getting pissed off or feel like I'm in a rut I just Alt+F4 and go read or draw, or get something to eat XD
'Cause yeah, karoshi from playing Touhou to nerve's end and beyond would probably be the most wretched and pitiable cause of death. Ever.

What the fuck is wrong with EoSD. 3 misses on stage 3, on bullets not even coming close to me? Capturing flower dream vine? What's going on.
-
1DNB Sanae Lunatic. I'm amazed I could pull it off almost effortlessly. BUT WHY THE HELL DOES HER FIRST SPELL HAVE TO BE SO CLIPPY FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-
-
Had a great EoSD hard run going. Made it to stage 5 with 6 lives and 2 bombs. I figure that I stand a very good chance of 1ccing it this time (my first on hard for this game)
...and then proceed to die once before making it to the midboss. Then die TWICE on midboss Sakuya's non-spell (by somehow terribly misjudging openings between the kunai). No bombs used on any of these lives. The actual boss went fairly well in comparison. Then in stage 6, I died by RAMMING a nearly stationary bullet after all the enemies before Sakuya were dead. Somehow.
Thus losing 5 lives in just over a stage, with about 1 bomb used between all of them. Needless to say, I did not 1cc that game.
-
Died three seconds from unintentionally timing out Buddha's Light "Vajra of Perfect Buddhism" on lunatic, couldn't figure out if I should rage at the fact I was so close to timing it out... Or the fact that I was nowhere close to actually killing her despite lasting so long.
-
50% Reflowering
1 death no bombs, on the first wave of red butterflies.
-
Did I just waste more resources vs. the non-directional lasers than vs. the rest of MarisaA lunatic Patchy? Sure, it was the first test run, but goddamnit it's freakin' non-directional left-to-right-then-right-to-left easy-as-pie lasers
Still managed to make my way to Remilia's last nonspell (and pretty much instaclipped it), which was more than I deserved, anyway, considering I also died with a bomb in stock to Sakuya's second boss nonspell after panicbombing freakin' Jack the Ludo Bile.
-
Got to Yumemi with Kotohime, and no lives remaining (fucked up on Reimu).
Despite her typical "I'm invincible until you die at least once" attitude, I STILL managed to get her down to half a heart, and I was at FULL. I even got an Extend.
Then suddenly I'm engulfed in a storm of death, die, next round starts, I die two minutes in.
So much for almost clearing PoDD Lunatic.
-
Took a break from SA Lunatic attempts with a PoFV run. Normal though because I want SA to be my first Lunatic 1cc.
I failed a fucking Normal 1cc due to the AI. Aya lasted for over 3 fucking minutes on the first round just to kill me the first time. Komachi killed me twice. And Final boss Reimu lasted over 3 minutes on some of the rounds before killing me.
Apparantly, normal isn't that much easier. I did beat stage 6 first round but barely.
-
can we just pretend UFO doesn't exist

IN Lunatic 1cc failed at Hourai Jewel.
And I was 24 point items away from a life bonus.

second EoSD run today which wasn't aborted before stage 3:
(http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/1901/ffffremilia.png) (http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/1901/ffffremilia.png)
One death with bombs in stock to NON DIRECTIONAL LASERS, one panic bomb vs. NON DIRECTIONAL LASERS, clipped Remilia's opener with a bomb in stock (arrived there 2/1), still entered Scarlet Gensokyo 0/2 which should have been enough but I wasted the bombs waaaay too early. A shame.
Either way, this one is pretty much in the bag as soon as I stop derping vs. Patchy's lasers (and Jack the Ludo Bile as well, goddamnit this card is supposed to be easy), and EoSD is tons of fun anyway.
-
WHAT THE FUCK.
Today is a no-touhou day.
Hard difficulty.
Died on Kogasa's midboss. TWICE.
Then I decided to play IN Lunatic.
Restarted the first stage 4-5 times.

Died on Stage 2 boss, last spellcard. AGDOPhkm

Ugh, I'm just useless at Touhou these last couple of days.
I really hope this skill regression goes away soon as this is not funny anymore.

-
That's pretty much how I've been feeling for the last month.
-
I
Hate
EoSD
No really. I don't know entirely why, but I suck horribly at it. I made it to midboss Sakuya with three lives left - and proceeded to game over BEFORE her spellcard. And this is on Normal. I've Normal 1cc'd every damn game and am working on Hard 1ccs on the majority of them right now, I just needed to get that Normal 1cc to re-open Extra. EoSD was the first game I 1cc'd Normal on, and I've got a way better grasp of how to handle patterns and stuff... and now I'm doing terrible at it for some reason.
-
Game over at Remilia's last nonspell again.... after dying with three bombs in stock to the non-directional lasers yet again, and dying with three bombs in stock as well to ZA WARUDO of all things - I'm pretty sure I had a perfect record on it. At least one other lossy death elsewhere, Bury in Lake I think. Also the second time in a row I die to the end-of-stage-4 fairies. What the hell.
That makes it three times in two days in which I entered stage 4 with 6 spare lives and still failed, not to mention the about half a dozen ragequits at Cirno. This is not supposed to be this hard.
edit: another run, another failure at the end-of-stage-4-fairies, another death on the second non-directional lasers, followed by two deaths with full bombs at a zero rank Water Elf, literal AAAGGHGHGAGHAGGHHHH *headdesk* *headdesk* *headdesk*
Sometimes I wonder why I even bother.
-
I died against an almost stationary bullet that I somehow failed to notice while moving to collect the 1up from midboss Sakuya on hard.
...and in the time it took me to respawn, the 1up had fallen off the bottom of the screen >.<
-
AAAGGHGHGAGHAGGHHHH
-
I beat PCB Stage 1 on hard... with 0 lives and like 1 bomb.... "AAAGGHGHGAGHAGGHHHH"
-
Failing a No-bombs run of HRtP because I accidentally activated a bomb on stage 17 while I was trying to shoot the orb.
I would have failed it anyway on Sariel, I always screw up on her second phase. I know what to do, but I always get distracted by something and end up forgetting to look out for Sariel's bombs.
T98-Next is awesome though. No noticeable lag, and it doesn't look like crap when playing windowed.
Something else that makes me happy, is that Stage 16 Makai, where I would usually fail my runs before, is at least 100 times easier when playing without any lag.

unfortunately i dont

That said, I held down Ctrl too early and "lost" the Life Fragment from Stage 1. At least it's still as trivial as ever.
-
I've done both of them on Hard with 3 mistakes/bombs overall.
For Lunatic though(I don't have Kaguya's stage for practice yet, haven't 1cc'd)
main problems are Remilia's
Stage opener
Eternal Meek(unless safespotted)
opener
Vampire Illusion
final nonspell
Scarlet Meister
Scarlet gensokyo.
For Kaguya
Eirin's opener(maybe, it's trivial on Hard, but don't remember it on Lunatic)
Kaguya's opener
Brilliant Dragon Bullet
Second nonspell(even with misdirecting you still get a lot of crap)
Buddhist Diamond
Hourai Jewel(this can be memorized, but it's easy to mess up)
First and 4th Last Spells can be memorized. Others are pretty easy to mess up.
-
Kaguya? Hardest final boss?
The correct answer is Lunatic Yumemi.
-
First round Shikieiki.
I started playing PoFV last week and would say Shikieki period. While I'm not a good player I could still manage to make it to her with no deaths with a few of the characters and not use any continues with some of the others. Danmaku Judgement led to many fffffffffffffff moments as I was walled in. Spells always eventually made things worse as it meant more projectiles to deal with and the spell gauge wasn't building fast enough to continue clearing the walls of death. I had the hardest time as Youmu because her spells charge so slowly...I'd either have to potentially waste a spell (close call but not certain doom) or not be able to charge it in enough time.
Going from normal to Extra is a rather rough transition, especially from the fact that the snowballs are one hell of a lot faster and numerous. I decided to take a break and work through an old JRPG in my backlog to quell the rage :V
I find Kaguya to be much easier than Eirin. Marisa is harder than either of them. I rarely capture Astronomical Entombing unless I'm playing as the Netherworld team.
-
The hell, how did I die three times to Lunatic China. D:
-
Tried some MoF Lunatic Stage 4 practice since I didn't feel like trying a full run at the moment.
I kept clipping stuff. What the hell do you mean I can't capture the preAya spam now. Why am I now consistently failing Saruta Cross? I still fail all her other cards.
-
Y'know, sometimes I just wish I didn't know these games even existed. All of them. Every "accomplishment" feels less satisfying than the one before, and takes twice as long, and it's all very unfulfilling since any "successful" run is just "bomb everything that's hard and don't derp on the easy parts" anyway.
:(
-
Lunatic Yumemi is still harder than Sikieiki. Seeing as how she's nearly impossible to actually beat.
-
Tip to self: Don't try to scorerun when you can't even consistently 1cc the game. It'll just result in you game overing on midboss Yugi or worse Yamame with ReimuA. That 4,000+ graze in stage 1 means nothing if I don't even survive long enough when I can just have my score be even better by not trying to scorerun. I was at a little over 7,000 when I game overed.
-
Perfect SA Stage 1 ruined by a death as Yamame's final was clearing.
Oddly enough, the game ragequit for me at that point and crashed. >_>
-
I can't play today worth crap.
I keep dying on MoF Stage 1. If I don't die there I die on stage 2. I kept derping everything on SA as well meaning I only made it to Peta Flare with ReimuA. Messed up even more with ReimuB and game overed on terrifying Hypnotism.
-
SA lunatic attempt
game over on yuugi
BRB TF2
-
IN Extra stage portion, 2 graze. Nooooo, so close...
Failed on Keine's "Returning-Bridge Ichijo". Although somehow I only grazed 2 bullets.
I know this is possible... I'm using Sakuya/Remilia, because I don't see how it's even possible with any other team.
-
You're trying to do it without any graze, right? You know that Sakuya/Remilia have the largest grazebox, right? :V
Also, tried unlocking EoSD Lunatic stages for MarisaA practice. I had to use my first continue on Midirection (Sakuya died from my deathwave, seriously), and then somehow had to use another one on her second boss midspell. Used up my last continue on Remilia's last midspell...and then game overed on Scarlet Gensokyo.
ffffffffff
-
JESUS CHRIST PCB STAGE 4
-
I can't get most of the items on it, and even with SakuyaB I can't cover the crap fast enough to avoid border breaking and bombspam.
I just tried PCB Lunatic with SakuyaB. 4cc. I fucking suck at this game. I can't time borders worth crap. I can't dodge worth crap. Stage 4 sucks regardless of which shottype I pick. Bosses don't die fast enough. SakuyaB has shitty bombs for anything but scoring, SakuyaA is weak and not enough coverage, Marisa is useless due to low bomb stock, and Reimu is underpowered. First credit ended on midboss Alice's nonspell when I lost 3 bombs because the game didn't register a bomb.
The next credit barely got into stage 5 and Merlin's opener is much more rage inducing than the Hard version.
The next credit ended on Repository.
Then the last one got through.
-
Use marisa A
SPELL C- GET SPELL CARD BONUS!
-
You're trying to do it without any graze, right? You know that Sakuya/Remilia have the largest grazebox, right? :V
Doesn't matter, no dodges are tight enough to make a difference.
Sakuya/Remilia gets an extra bomb when dying with a bomb, which is the only way I can think of to be able to use 4 consecutive bombs after Keine.
-
You know what, fuck SA and its stupid stage 1 and Yamame. Stage 2 too with Parsee's nonspells. And three with fucking lasers everywhere. And four which is just AAAGGHGHGAGHAGGHHHH from beginning to end and Satori's nonspells and Terrifying Hypnotism and everything else.
Stages five and six are fair game, and I'm sure I'd like my chances if I arrived at stage five with two lives to spare, but everything that comes before is just so fucking stupid

man Murasa murders me every time on normal.

So, at last I did reunlock UFO stage 6 hard mode for stage practice with MarisaB. So, why is this in this thread?
Because It took me ~5 times as many tries on that stage as I would have assumed, and because 90% of the tries had me dying on the stage. No, not on Nue
or at the beginning. On the space invader fairies. *facepalm*
How? Why?
I got nothing.
-
So I can finally play EoSD again, only to find out that I royally suck now thanks to my time away from it.
~_~ I keep fucking up the first five minutes of the Extra Stage, too.

...skip to stage 6 >:( (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=7287)
Game over as the last card was clearing? Ouch...
There is a tip I can give, though: on Kanako's third nonspell, try to stay around the middle of the screen instead of the bottom. You're much less likely to get walled that way, but you'll have to react a bit faster.
-
I'm fucking reaching my limit here....
I just do not understand why I can't clear UFO extra with MarisaA. every single fucking time, the SAME mistakes!
The stage is so fucking hard, I just can't comprehend it, I can constistently capture all of cards untill Undefined Darkness, but when I reach that point I don't have enough resources to finish.
Like just now, I perfect kogasa (FINALLY!!27*ty#rh) actually manage to get good UFO combinations on the part right after that (with the diagonal shit from all sides), and then I reach those fairy groups, first 2 with blues, then 2 with greens, 2 with reds and then waves of 6 at a time. And I manage to die while grabbing my last red, yay! then I die while collecting the life part, and then when I got 2 red ands going for the 3rd IT FREAKING POPS TO BLUE AT THE LAST SECOND. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU-
I'm pulling an allnighter untill I freaking clear this.
-
I'm glad Scarlet Meister killed me because otherwise that would have been a Hard 1cc ruined by my last bomb on my last life not going off on Thousand Needle Mountain. I captured everything after that except for Meister.
Ya, tried a Hard 1cc and I was out of practice. Bombed once on Cirno, bombed midboss Meiling's opener, bombed her spell, bombed boss Meiling's opener, forgot how to do nondirectional lasers, failed almost every Patchy spell like usual.
Edit: Not this crap again. I got her to her last life on the last two lives.

dfjaskldfjasklfj I WILL CAPTURE SYPHAE HORN HIGH LEVEL.
This is the fourth time in a row that I've gotten hit by this card as it was clearing. I know I'm playing Lunatic but good god.
EDIT: ASDJFADSKLFJDS SIX TIMES NOW
-
I've never captured that card even on Normal where ReimuB goes against it instead of MarisA. Never got close on the others.
Just put in another PoFV attempt. I sucked at scoring this time arriving at Shiki with just over 42,000,000 on my last life. How the hell did Yuka kill me twice?
-
"Charming Siege From All Sides", why do you have to be such a brick wall??
I mean, I know what to do; I just can't actually do it. -.-
-
Did I just have 3 misses on China because of hurf durf one tap too much? Jesus Christ marisa sucks.
-
UFO Hard Stage 3...WTF ? It's harder than stage 4 !
Ichirin in just...brutal, unreadable fast laser, and...AAAGGHGHGAGHAGGHHHH
-
If it weren't for Yumemi who is even worse, Shikieiki would be the most unfair final boss in all of Touhou.
I can deal with the boss attack, I can deal with some of the other stuff. I can't deal with the boss attack and lots of other attacks. 2 hits and you're on your last life, which I wouldn't have an issue with if she didn't send walls at you. So many walls. Don't forget Zun's crappy programming were you don't get the bonus to the bar if you release a charge as you get hit.
Macrododging does nothing to avoid being walled. Micrododging or Macrododging when the boss is out isn't an option because the random shots create overly dense walls.
I've only reduced her Lunatic fight to her last life twice, and those were on the same 1cc attempt.
-
I wish that you can continue like the old windows touhou games.
The new continue system sucks. Badly. Zun should have gotten rid of it in Touhou 11.
-
You know what, fuck SA and its stupid stage 1 and Yamame. Stage 2 too with Parsee's nonspells. And three with fucking lasers everywhere. And four which is just AAAGGHGHGAGHAGGHHHH from beginning to end and Satori's nonspells and Terrifying Hypnotism and everything else.
Stages five and six are fair game, and I'm sure I'd like my chances if I arrived at stage five with two lives to spare, but everything that comes before is just so fucking stupid
*thumbs up*
But wait, Catwalk, Orin's last non-spell, GOAST Wheel, UNR and Peta Flare are not fair.

UFO lunatic
Went into Murasa 6/2. Beat her 1BND. Bombed her final nonspell because to this very day, I still have no idea how to handle this thing. >_>
Game over on "Complete Clarification".
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE?! D:
I was using MarisaB, but still...
Apparently, I have absolutely no confidence whatsoever at fighting Shou in an actual run.
-
*snaps fingers*
I think I know why you all hate UFO so much! Because you're all convinced that Sanae B is the best shot type. I just tried a whole bunch of times and I have a harder time getting through stage 3 with Sanae B on hard than I do Reimu A doing the same on lunatic.
Reimu B > Sanae B
Frog nuke sucks.
-
Reimu B < Sanae B
Frog nuke sucks.
Y'mean ReimuB > SanaeB? :V
Also, I have given up on capturing Vampire Illusion or Eternal Meek. :(
-
man Murasa murders me every time on normal.
I hear that man, failed on her Stage 2 times today, I was too ambitious, I had like 5 lives and 7 bombs going in to Stage 4, and only to die twice due to bullshit. Dying twice is instant restart for me, as I'm not going to fight Deep Vortex without full power.

What happened? Virus? Or was the hard drive damaged? I lost a bunch of stuff because my comp would always get infected by Trojan Horses.
I should probably copy my saves on a USB key. I fear that my computer might screw up soon, as I only have 6GB left on my 150GB hard drive, while I should keep at least 15GB of space to make sure everything works properly.

Virus. Caused crashes a minute or two after the computer started.
-
I'm strongly considering forgetting that Hourai Elixir Lunatic even exists. That last phase is a load of crap.
-
well, unless you are completely spoiled by Border Team's tiny hitbox. It is truly a test of your hitbox knowledge and going for it.
-
I am using the border team to try to capture it.
Just tried Stage 3 again since I'm out of practice on IN and I'm not too worried about the first two.
Failed First Pyramid. Failed the first boss nonspell. Failed Ephemerality like always. Failed the Headquarters Crisis. Failed the next nonspell. Failed Three Treasures like always. Almost failed Pseudo-History.
-
Failed Three Treasures like always.

you're taking it from the bottom of the screen aren't you

Started going for MoF hard 1cc again.
First try, no deaths in stage 1 2 3, then 1 death on momiji (pff! I can take 1 mistake), then I lose all my lives (5 or so) at freaking Aya >.< Still made it to that Cleaver spellcard from Kanako but I lacked like 3 lives to beat it.
Damn....

Promoting motion to remove Chen and her spam luckshit card "douman-seiman" from existence.

I'm not trying to do it on the bottom. I just can't find a good height for it.

In my experience, you can't really keep at any set height; you need to keep moving up or down depending on where Keine moves to. Just read it and look for the height where the bullets have the largest gaps.
-
Why must I always, always die at least once on "Advent of the Divine Grandson"? (Ok, I did capture it once, but I almost always die). It looks simple, but I always do something stupid. >.<

I've had that crap happen to me 6 times now. 2 of those were with Medicine. Please tell me this was on Lunatic as well.

God dammit, denied a Scarlet Gensokyo capture while Remilia was exploding.

DAMN YOU REMILIA
JUST DIE ALREADY YOU STUPID SPOILED BRAT

Somehow, I lost all my Touhou.
All my score, all my replays, all my recorded endings, all my games. Everything.
Now I have no proof of my Hard 1ccs. Now I have no proof of my Extra conquers. Now I have no record of my hard-earned PC-98 Extra scores.
And all of this somehow managed to happen while I was using my computer, without my noticing, and without any of it going to the recycle bin first. And after performing a scan, with several checkers, I have no virus.
So in a freak incident, all my Touhou somehow erased itself.
-
even when you need that fucking last red UFO, blue UF.O.E >_<
-
I just had an amazing EoSD Hard run with MarisaB. I only died on max rank Flower Dream Vine and max rank Water Elf, capping a bunch of max rank cards along the way (with MarisaB, which is fairly impressive).
Then Sakuya and Remilia proceeded to luckwall me into failure, forcing me to bomb almost every attack.
5/2 starting Stage 5 -> 3/1 starting Stage 6 -> 0/2 at Scarlet Gensokyo -> -1/0 with SG at 25% life.
It's not supposed to end like this :(

....
Sakuya just hit me.

I have no chance of 1ccing MoF Lunatic with how I'm currently playing. Where the hell did my playing skill go?
I'm failing almost everything in practice, even the easy crap. I'm derping into stuff I never derped to before. My sense of bullet hitbox detection is failing me. I'm dying consistently to the first part of VoWG several times. I keep dying to most of Kanako's other spells and nonspells.
I'm failing completely trivial stuff like Autumn Sky and a Maiden's Heart, Broken Charm of Protection, Old Lady Ohgane's Fire, Trauma in the Glimmering Depths, Secretly Inherited Art of Danmaku, Takeminakata Invocation, Yasaka's Divine Wind, and more.
-

None of these are trivial, except Yasaka's Divine Wind. All the rest can and *will* kill you if you take them for granted.
-
Maiden's Heart is trivial...found it much harder on Hard :V
-
SA Lunatic is so much bullshit
-
SA Lunatic stage 1 is so much bullshit
Fixed. :3
Also, never watch a perfect run of something after utterly failing yourself. It is emotionally damaging.
-
I've never had many problems with Maiden's Heart. Promise of the Wheat God is much harder.
-
Argh! How many times do I have to hit the bomb key a single picosecond AFTER the time allotted for deathbombing ends? It's the only way I can start the Sakuya fight with 6 lives and be halfway through the Remilia fight with 1 life and a full set of bombs with EACH of the lives I lost. I couldn't mash the escape key fast enough.
And now SA has spontaneously decided to start crashing immediately after character selection. What da heck, man?
-
None of these are trivial, except Yasaka's Divine Wind. All the rest can and *will* kill you if you take them for granted.
and yet Yasaka's Divine Wind killed me twice on my 1cc
derp
-
My MoF 1cc had something like three captures and I still reached VoWG 2/4, so :V
Oh and I also bombed all of Nitori's and Aya's nonspells. Woooooo resource management easy modo.
I am not proud of it, mind you.
-
I don't even remember what they were and I watched the replay either yesterday or today.
Here's hoping my eventual 1cc is actually good. It probably won't be because I'll surely derp some easy stuff.
Edit: Tried MoF a few times again. A few Minoriko deaths, a few Hina deaths, and some derping on stage 3. Then I tried SA with ReimuA again and kept messing everything up, so i game overed at Peta Flare again.
-
Nooooo.... I barely missed a MoF hard 1cc because I foolishly tried to capture something that I'd never captured before (Source of Rains). Part of me even said to myself "You don't have enough practice trying to do it this way. You're almost certainly going to die if you try"). But, of course, I ignored my better judgment, and then did die. Ok, so I could have also not died on Virtue of a Wind God after that, but it's irritating knowing that I made a choice not a minute earlier that cost the last life I needed to seal the deal. =/
-
Source of Rains is just a stupid card. I still haven't captured the Hard version, though I've gotten the other 3.
The difficulty is also completely fucked as the difficulty of that card decreases as you go up in difficulty
Lunatic<Hard<Normal<Easy. Seriously try it on Easy for some WTF.
Same thing applies for her final card, though not the same way. Virtue of Wind God Lunatic is obviously hardest, followed by either Virtue of Wind God Hard or Mountain of Faith Easy, followed by the other one, followed by Mountain of Faith Normal.
-
I get to Remilia using Marisa for the first time, and I have a decent amount of lives. And then, of ALL POSSIBLE TIMES, that stupidawful "touhou thinks you are holding down the right arrow key" bug had to happen. fml
-
Well that was absolute garbage.
Tried a score run of MS Hard. Fine until Yuki and Mai, then it was suicide central. Game over on Shinki's Recitation. 73 million. I can't score worth CRAP.
-
I was having the same thing happen when I got this computer, but switching to the keyboard from my old one fixed it. Basically, switch the keyboard cause it's likely that thing's fault.
-
how do i stopped autobomb in marisa

Peerless Wind God failed with only a second left on the damn timer.

I just don't know where I should put this, but I'M RAGED WITH RAN

I time it out everytime I go with any Reimu >_>
Man, I remember I timed it out on my first clear and I was totally amazed, but I keep doing it D:
Any tips? -3-

I such at Sa and MoF.. I can 1cc EoSD and PCB on lunatic, but I struggle to make it past stage 3 on MoF lunatic..And I struggle to get past stage 2 on SA *HARD* wut TF!!!
I dunno how people think MoF is easy. I even managed to not waste power on deaths with bombs, but it's like after 1 death, you're just too gimp and you never really regain your ground..At least ofr me that's the case.
As for IN, I just don't enjoy that one as much for some reason.
-
None of these are trivial, except Old Lady Ohgane's Fire. All the rest can and *will* kill you if you take them for granted.

Fire is nearly static. I've failed Sanae's last spell quite a bit more often due to getting trapped between the walls and the homing bullets >_>

Just played Touhou for the first time in two weeks, since my computer got infected and it took me a while to reinstall my OS (saved all my Touhou stuff, fortunately). I kinda expected to have gotten worse, but playing VoWG (Hard) made me realize just how bad my composure's become. No worse than 1 death in each of two tries, but I felt really erratic throughout pretty much the whole thing, and I had some trouble focusing on several earlier attacks. I gotta get used to this game again...
-
Suddenly, I can't play Touhou at all today. Couldn't even finish EoSD Stage 3 in practice mode because I would game over on like, Flower Dream Vine or something stupid. I can't even make it to Remilia or past S5 midboss Sakuya anymore.
-
Aya is complete bullshit both in PoFV and MoF.
Quit killing me multiple times in PoFV. I can't consistently capture any of the MoF cards.

I hear ya. I've been feeling the same way today/yesterday. I mean, when attempting to get a 1cc of MoF hard, I believe I died to Autumn Sky and a Maiden's Heart (and then restarted) three or four times in six attempts, yesterday. ...and then died to Falling Leaves of Madness. >.> Which is, um, I'm not even sure how to say just how sad that is T.T

THERE'S RANK IN THE OTHER GAMES AS WELL?
brb uninstalling
Btw the "they're doing well, lemme fix that for you" is the best description i've ever seen.
-
I'm doing awesome! :)
So, let's screw everything up!
Lost EVERY SINGLE of my lives on PoDD's decisive match.
Yes, all five. :X
-
Three 1DNB runs of MoF stage 3. I hate Hydro Camouflage. >:(
Also, on a seperate run I was about to capture it then died, and the deathwave finished the card.
-
Nyahahahahahaha! I just died twice to green UFO's. Then once to Undefined Darkness. Then to Nightmare of Heiankyou.
Now, now... i generally think this is a pretty good extra stage and most of it is really well designed. As things would have it though... i'm from Denmark which means that i'm a frickin' Viking and it lies within my instincts to react as i will it.
Thi most people are prudent and intelligent players who would just blame their own bad luck, such intelligence is not available to the barbaric nature of my landspeople. So instead of tolerance and respect, i shall respond in agony and hatred as i journey to Japan this summer, equipped with a 5 foot Battle Axe to kill Zun himself four times as well.
Touhou 13 will never exist. :)

Yes, i know that :)
Things just get a little too much harder when you have 2xx power, play sitting on a bed with your laptop resting on your legs while your friend is telling jokes. I'm not actually mad really but i just swore that ZUN's life was to be concluded if i didn't clear it. Nothing serious of course.

I'm glad Moses's Miracle killed me. Otherwise my perfect run of Stage 5 Lunatic would have been ruined by dying as Night with Overly Bright Guest Stars was clearing.

Unleash the viking rage at your friend.
then perfect extra

I tried some more pc-98 Touhou, I swear. I can play games with outdated graphics fine, but Touhou with those graphics just makes my eyes bleed. I just can't do it. It literally is straining to read fast bullet patterns that way. I OFTEN get killed by relatively simple attacks involving fast moving bullets that I see coming, but am unable to really comprehend the trajectory of. It's hard to explain.

We Vikings don't slaugther our fellow Vikings. And perfecting extra stages is something that won't happen unless it just happens due to random play. Extra bosses are long after all and i don't like to fail at the end just to replay those 10 minutes all over again without failure.
And it would probably be limited to perfecting the boss only... stage portions aren't too interesting after all.

Until the parts you mentioned. Except you forgot Rainbow UFOs.

Trying to 1cc UFO hard, and I made it to stage 5 with 6 lives. Quite a bit more than I ever have managed to do so before. And then proceed to play inconceivably poorly. I died once before the midboss. Then TWICE to Ultimate Treasure. Then once almost immediately after the midboss. Then once to Radiant Treasure Gun, then twice to the following non-spell. During this entire period, I think I bombed ONCE, if that. Gah.... T.T (was actually visibly fuming after this, which is unusual for me)
-
Why am I dying to Falling Leaves of Madness and Minoriko's first 2 attacks? I'm actually somewhat decent at the near instant lasers card now.
I've only gotten past stage one twice today, one just to die as Exiled Doll was clearing and the other cause I got hit on Broken Charm of Protection.
Also, I wish stage 4 didn't exist. Or that it had a fairer boss than Aya. Her opener is usually fine but sometimes she moves wrong and it's an autobomb. Saruta Cross is fine if I enter Aya with full power, which wouldn't be likely since if I need to bomb, I'd get the power back after. You can't consistently safespot Storm Day sadly, so that's 1 or 2 bombs, which you don't get the full power back on. The nonspell after is usually an autobomb. Peerless Wind God is one or 2 bombs. Terukuni Throughout the World requires 2 bombs minimum for me.
Aya's bullshit spellcards are the reason I have almost no chance of pulling a 1LC. Ya, I could probably die in stage 1 or 2 and still 1cc but that just looks bad. If it weren't for her unfairness, it would just be a matter of not messing up the other stages. I have done the first 3 no deaths in previous attempts. I have done 1DNB runs of stage 5, and stage 6 could have been done ND if I wasn't trying to capture VoWG. It'd just be a matter of not fucking it up. But no, Aya has to exist who is BS in every game she's in except SA where she's on your side(not counting fighters, I haven't played those).

Stop using homing Reimu. Now. Also stop safespotting stuff, you worry about "looking bad" and you want safespots?

You obviously mean a 1cc. Either that or you're nuts. Either way: bomb everything and win first, worry about "pretty" runs later.
Wasn't this thread supposed to have been locked a while ago?
-
I use ReimuB. I just completely suck at the card and it's the only one on MoF Lunatic I have yet to capture(Terukuni). Storm Day is only 1 capture out of over 70 tries.
Yes, I know to 1cc first and come back later. I just have how to 1LC planned out pretty much and Aya's the only issue outside of consistency.
Edit: Major derping again. Game overed on VoWG. I'll get this 1cc today.

What's with that spell? That have always been incredibly easy to do for me. In the run that made me want to give ZUN what we call a "roephel" i captured it at 1xx power no-problem.
-
Died 3 times to Virtue of Wind God again. One of them with 4 bombs in stock. Why am I derping on this thing now?
I could consistently do it with 0-2 deaths(with bombs) before I tried 1ccing.
At least my score is getting better every run at the moment. I'm now just a bit over 369,000,000 but I should have had this thing already.

What is with you people?
