TD Easy no bombs, no trance, no focus, 91fps 1cc with Marisa (the fastest character), first 4 stages perfected. I think a full-game perfect run is actually doable with these conditions.

Incomprehensive list of my DS accomplishments.
I've also gotten 1.5 billion score in SA Lunatic with ReimuC and sub 6 million points in a MoF Extra clear.
More recent IRC inspired stuff: MoF ReimuC normal permafocus no vertical movement 1cc and ReimuB normal no focus no vertical movement 1cc.
-
Those charts have such spirit. I love them.
But what is half red/half green if green is "both"?
-
Both is probably in one run. Red/blue is separately.

I've tried new playing methods (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16112) (did not 1CC the game, but boasting anyway.)
I've 1CC'd MOUNTAIN of BOMB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15930)
I bombed, then I bombed again. And guess what, then I bombed again. And again. And, maybe again. Watch the run to see. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15926) (don't actually watch it, it's boring)
Hahaha. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15909)

And, I suck at TD scoring. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15519)
An PCB normal no focus. I probably don't capture anything after stage 3 IIRC. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=15939)

I'm doing a more lewd version of this one day. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16112)
-
90fps? For the first time, I agree. I'm going to play IN Normal at 90fps and see if I'm able to survive. In the worst case, it's going to be good practice before all those faster-than-my-reflexes-can-handle Lunatic bulllets.
(no achievement list because seriously... well, OK, 2 billion points in IN Easy with solo Reimu (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25521), currently the only one I'm somewhat proud of)
-
let'S see. first of all:
cleared all the main windows games on lunatic. from EoSD to TD.
perfected all stage 1s on lunatic
perfected all the stage 2s on lunatic
perfected all the stage 3s on lunatic
perfected IN 4B, MoF stage 4, UFO stage 4 and TD stage 4 on lunatic
perfected IN stage 5, MoF stage 5, TD stage 5 on lunatic
perfected IN stage 6A, MoF stage 6, SA stage 6 and TD stage 6 on lunatic
perfected EoSD extra, PCB extra, MoF extra, SA extra and UFO extra.
I almost perfected GFW extra. this is probably my biggest achievement up to date, which is kinda sad :'D
that should be it no?looking at that, I'd still have a lot of stages to go :V
-
Here's a list. There's not much, but well...
EoSD : Hard 1cc (all shottypes), Extra clear.
PCB : Hard 1cc, Extra/Phantasm clears.
IN : Hard 1cc, Extra clear.
PoFV : Hard 1cc, Extra clear (both with 2+ characters).
MoF : Hard 1cc, Extra clear.
SA : Hard 1cc.
UFO : Normal 1cc, Extra clear.
TD : Hard 1cc.
Things to do next : IN Lunatic, EoSD normal no-bombs.
-
silly me uploading silly video.
PoFV - some silly matches against the AI. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c27sO5yL7cQ&feature=youtu.be)
as I said in the video description, some are really silly rounds with me losing early and others are rather impressive. I am always komachi, AI is always eiki. my ultimate goal is winning a match with komachi against the lunatic AI. I am sure it's possible if you survived for 10 minutes :V
also, these replays are old. 2+ months, or so.
-
Thank fucking god it's over. All characters in PoFV 1cc'd with the no focus, no charge and constant shooting conditions. The game is a total mayhem if you play it this way as a low-tier character. Don't do it if you value your sanity...
Most definitely a crowning achievement for me.
-
My current accomplishments list is rather short:
PoDD: Normal 1cc with all characters except for Ellen, got to Yumemi on Hard with Reimu, Mima and Marisa.
LLS: Normal 1cc with MarisaB
EoSD: Normal 1cc with MarisaA (most recent) (YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifcfBY8SgaI))
PCB: Normal 1cc with ReimuB
MoF: Normal 1cc with ReimuB
My current aim is to 1cc SA Normal with ReimuA (farthest I've got is Hell's Artificial Sun).
-
I am sure it's possible if you survived for 10 minutes :V
Unfortunately, I don't think so. Not without unearthly levels of luck. It's possible to beat Yuuka at least, but you still need crazy luck. I once won a round against her in two minutes, then went six minutes in another without getting a single hit.
Well anyway, it's been a while since I did a real list here, so I guess I'll put one together finally. (All on Lunatic unless stated otherwise.)
-PoDD-
Reimu: 73.3mil, No-Miss 1cc
Mima: 82.2mil
Marisa: 76.5mil, 1-Miss 1cc
Ellen: 71.0mil
Kotohime: 87.0mil
Kana: 88.0mil
Rikako: 67.7mil
Chiyuri: 86.8mil
Yumemi: 76.8mil, No-Miss 1cc (x2), No-Bomb 1cc, No-Vertical 1cc
edit: Forgot characters beaten in match mode (as Chiyuri): Kana, Marisa, Rikako, Mima. I should get back to that too.
Apart from those scores and stuff, I have all difficulties cleared with all characters. As for recent things, I did some runs last night with Mima, Kotohime, and Kana. Got them all on the first try, at least, though my playing is still not what it used to be. I'm going to try to redo Ellen and Chiyuri as well.
Whatever old stuff I used to put in these lists I don't really care about anymore. If I get some halfway decent things done in PoFV I'll add them some time, I guess. On second thought, I'll just do a list.
-PoFV-
Characters beaten in match mode as Reimu: Komachi, Sakuya, Merlin, Reisen, and Yuuka
No-Charge No-Bomb 1cc as Eiki
No-Focus 1cc as Marisa
90fps 1cc as Medicine (and maybe Aya, I forget.)
I hope to beat every character in match mode with Reimu, at least, and Yuuka with Komachi (she's my favorite shot as well). I'm mostly worried about Medicine, and Eiki may also be problematic.
And most of this crap is on my youtube channel in some form or another, but I'm not linking to them.
-
uh...way to crush m,dreams of ever winning a match against eiki :V that's fine in itself. doesn't mean it can't look impressive afterwards. survivng for 10 minutes against the lunatic AI is something crazy, anyway. I don't be able to do that anytime soon. I'm also planning to start PoDD seriously. watching a couple of my videos made me realize I am way too dependent on focusing. and that's not good.
-
Huh, I'm late. Someone should've locked the the other thread already. :V
Too lazy to remake my whole list, so...
-1cc Lunatic in EoSD, PCB, IN and SA. And with both Reimus in EoSD and PCB.
-1cc Hard in everything, and with all shot types in EoSD and PCB, all teams and few solos in IN, and all Reimus in SA.
-1cc Hard no-bombs in EoSD with Reimu-B and PCB with Reimu-A.
-Extra clear in all main windows games with all available shot types, and recently no-focus in all games.
-Perfect Extra clear on SA, and NMNB1bb on Ran done back in my birthday.
-All spellcards on IN captured in Spell Practice.
-All Overdrives captured.
-Perfect Lunatic Pacifist on EoSD stage 2 and TD stage 3.
-And the two recent 92 FPS clears on PCB Phantasm and IN Extra.
I think that's pretty much it... I kinda suck. :V
-
Here are a couple of my achievements:
Vajra of Perfect Buddhism no focus timeout
Legendary Flying Saucer 1 power capture
Vengeful Cat Spirit's Erratic Step timeout
Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana timeout
Magical Singular Day Extreme 1cc
-
Everyone must now beat some Touhou game on some difficulty at 90fps! :V
-
I'll pass, too conservative to try out something new when it's the new cool thing!
-
Everyone must now beat some Touhou game on some difficulty at 90fps! :V
Current target: TD normal 120 FPS. 90 is too hipster, so I'll just go higher :V
-
I'm actually working on the games for lunatic 90 fps. it will take a while, however. everything's so fast :V
-
... but what about making a better title you guys
-
I'm working on my normal UFO clear
Why can't I be good like you guys ;-;
-
I'm working on my normal UFO clear
Why can't I be good like you guys ;-;
Keep at it and you'll get there, I remember struggling with UFO normal about a year ago.
-
Everyone must now beat some Touhou game on some difficulty at 90fps! :V
I tried, but this is insane.
Made it to Mountain of Faith in MoF normal on the first try, though (thanks bombspam). Game over here because it's even worse than VoWG.
-
... but what about making a better title you guys
Too late, the damage has been done.
-
Why can't I be good like you guys ;-;
^this, but is it weird that even though I've 1CC'd LLS, MS, IN and SA Normal I still can't clear TD, nevermind EoSD, PCB, PoFV, MoF and UFO lol
Should probably make one of those shiny grids everyone else seems to be making too at some point :V
-
Water Pressure "Breaking Critical Point" Timeout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTdqIQhTc8Y) BV
Also if we're doing lists:
-Lunatic 1ccs of all the touhou games except 1, 2, 3, 5, 7.5, and 9 (Have 1cc'd it with Medicine but that doesn't count :V)
-Lunatic 1ccs of all the 12.3 and 10.5 story modes.
-StB all clear
-All scenes cleared on StB ultra but 9-1, 10-4 and EX-1 (so proud of these ones)
-Timeouts of random spells
-Perfect lunatic Youmu, Kanako, and a whole bunch of 1DNB runs of Orin, Mokou, LLS Reimu, max rank Yumeko, and Okuu.
-GFW easy no ice no bomb clears of A-1, A-2 and B-1
-Died 5 times in a row against lunatic Eiki on a single credit using cirno :V (Run included defeating yuuka on the first round)
That's it I guess, I'm currently working on 7.5 and random silly stuff, and will probably start learning how to play PoDD soon.
-
New thread? Kay, let's roll:
HrTP: 27cc. Or however many it was.
SoEW: Normal 1cc
PoDD: Made it Stage 6 or 7 on Easy.
LLS: Worthless first try Lunatic 1cc because life-spam. sucky run though. Also, No-bombs Extra clear.
MS: Hard 1cc + Extra.
EoSD: Lunatic 1cc (of a terrible terrible sort i tell you) + No-bombs Extra.
PCB: Garbage no-bombs clear but i have a passable survival clear with bombs somewhere. Ended with 7 lives but many things was awful about the run. Extra NMNB and Phantasm 1MNB
IN: Lunatic 1cc. Went reasonably okay but then Kaguya happened. + Extra NM1B clear
PoFV: Lunatic 1cc with Aya because it's not my fault the AI is dumb with her attacks or whatever.
MoF: No-bombs 1cc. Disappointing performance, have done better but then Sanae slaughtered my run and my dignity. + NMNB Extra
SA: No-bombs 1cc. Same as above really, except I've never done a satisfying job on no-bombing this game. + NMNB Extra
UFO: Lunatic 1cc. Never got a good one but I'm working on that. Want to do no UFO's one time. Could maybe NBNUFO sometime but i'm not good enough to do that within my general 5-attempts patience span. Excuses. I'm such a horrible person. I apologize. Also, NMNB Extra.
TD: Some 1cc of some mode. Couldn't tell much of a difference between em'. Also, extra clear.
GFW: All routes cleared on Lunatic. Also have Extra clear.
StB/DS: All scenes captured.
-
Managed to nab 1DNB of stage 4 and 5, but in my stupidity forgot to save the replay. Deaths were to stupidly hitting a bullet in the first few seconds of PWG and to Moses Miracle. Despite how few mistakes I made, I think a perfect is still really far away given how inconsistently I do those stages. I get the feeling that these runs were more due to luck than anything else.
As for an achievement list:
EoSD: Lunatic 1cc (ReimuA,MarisaB), Extra 1cc (3DNB, all shots), Stage 1, 2, 3 perfected, Patchouli ReimuA perfected
PCB: Lunatic 1cc (ReimuB), Extra 1cc (1DNB), Phantasm 1cc (2DNB), Stage 1, 2 perfected, all spell cards captured (ReimuB)
IN: Lunatic 1cc (Border), Extra 1cc (3 teams), Stage 1, 2, 3 perfected
PoFV: Normal 1cc (Marisa)
MoF: Lunatic 1cc (ReimuB), Extra 1cc (2DNB, all Reimu shots), Stage 1, 2, 3 perfected
SA: Lunatic 1cc (all Reimu shots), Extra 1cc (ReimuA), Stage 1, 2, 3 perfected
UFO: Lunatic 1cc (SanaeB, SanaeA), Extra 1cc (1DNB, all shots), Stage 1 perfected
TD: Lunatic 1cc (Reimu), Extra 1cc (Reimu), Stage 1, 2, 3 perfected
Man PoFV sticks out like a sore thumb doesn't it? I should fix that at some point.
I'm working on my normal UFO clear
Why can't I be good like you guys ;-;
Just practice, practice, practice. I don't think any of the Lunatic and above people magically got good at these games in any less than a year's time (except Coreven or something).
-
Perfect Hard Seiga! Been trying this one every day for a while and was within 2 seconds of it yesterday, then took 3 tries today. It's also the first Hard stage perfect I have above Stages 1-2 in any game, (assuming we count IN Finals as required).
Edit: Perfect Lunatic TD-Yuyuko!
-
TD Yuyu is the hardest stage 1 boss in the series. Those nonspells are crazy if you don't play Lunatic. GJ!
-
Guess I ought to focus on filling in some other ones then, the only others I've done are Wriggle and Rumia. I've come close to most, but Nazrin I can't even manage on Hard - pendulum still wrecks me even after I figured out the pattern.
-
I somehow managed a NDNBNT TD Lunatic stages 1-3 in a single run (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25583) (not a perfect run, Yoshika's last spell was timed out). Not quite sure how I managed to do that. My goal was just to perfect TD stage 1 since I'd never avoided using trances in that stage before, then play it out to see how far I could go (game over to Iwafune, way farther than I expected, especially since I'm out of practice on the second half of the game).
-
TD Yuyu is the hardest stage 1 boss in the series. Those nonspells are crazy if you don't play Lunatic. GJ!
I actually find Nazrin harder on any difficult... though Yuyu's second-last card has a crapfuck timeout phase that prevents me from perfect pacifying that stage. D:
-
A Fantasy's Transience 1D0B timeout.
Death was at the 6 second mark.
...I can do this.
-
Normal mode progress:
EoSD: Patchouli-somewhere or early stage 5 with ReimuB (in one continue; I've beaten Remilia with continues, but I use 5 starting lives. I really should play EoSD more)
PCB: 1cc with ReimuB, Resurrection Butterfly with SakuyaB (I also got to Prismrivers-somwhere with ReimuB on hard mode, and beat the game with continues)
IN 6A: not attempted yet
IN 6B: 1cc with Border Team, Cowry Shell with Scarlet Team
PoFV: I hardly play it, so nothing outside of a few easy 1ccs when I first played it
MoF: 1cc with ReimuB
SA: 1cc with ReimuA
UFO: Byakuren's butterfly spell with SanaeB
TD: 1cc with Reimu
Extras:
EoSD: -
PCB Ex: beaten with Reimu B
PCB Ph: got to Mesh of Light and Dark or whatever with ReimuB (of course)
IN: beaten with Border Team
(PoFV: -)
MoF: beaten with ReimuB
SA: Super-ego with ReimuA
UFO: -
TD: Mamizou's 6th with Reimu
Other (minor) successes:
MoF perfect stage 5/ReimuB/normal
SA perfect stage 4/ReimuA/normal (in a run that I forgot to save the replay for)
PCB perfect Prismrivers/ReimuB/normal (in my 1cc, although the stage had a few bombs and one death)
(various perfect stage 1-3s on various normal modes with various characters, all in actual runs)
NM2B Eirin and NMNB Kaguya in some random IN easy 1ccs with Border Team, although I failed a few of their last spells (not necessarily proud of this, just listing it for the sake of completion)
Planning to get UFO this weekend, along with possibly SakuyaB PCB and Scarlet IN (and then Scarlet Mokou). I'm excited for UFO extra since I heard it's quite fun.
-
In light of the recent trend of clearing Mokou at 90 FPS I decided to try and capture spells at 90FPS so I cleared all of Mokou's spells at 90FPS pretty much without any hazzle. The big issue is certainly movement speed since reading the bullets was still very easy on this speed.
I'm planning to do a 90 FPS clear of this stage. The non-spells might be problematic though. Also Fujiyama Volcano and Woo took more than 2 attempts. My strategy for Fujiyama Volcano didn't seem quite suited for 90 FPS since it involves a good bit of weaving but eh... maybe i just suck horribly.
Keine's first was also a pain in the butt but not too much. I wonder how well i can perform on this...
-
Yesterday I caught QED for the first time, and today I caught Grudge Bow for the first time. I feel less noob now. :V
-
(http://i.imgur.com/PRZAu.png)
This run would probably have been the most beautiful run (for me, at least) up to this day, but I successfully died to Reisen's third non. Well.....
Maybe I'll get a third WR within IN easy.
-
Nothing amazing, but given my history of derps on Normal Mode so far I was quite happy about clearing TD Normal with Marisa without failing a single pattern up until Miko's penultimate Spellcard where I somehow wound up being completely walled (at least nothing that seemed feasible) due to me insisting on staying in the middle despite the two lasers there leaving an awfully narrow gap. I then had one Miss to her last Spellcard because I forgot how to deal with it, but aside from those unfortunate accidents I only used one Bomb, in Stage 2, because I only remembered "Press Button now", not "Press Trance Button now".
Oh, well, still happy!
-
EoSD Lunatic 3cc :V
Tried this because why not, and it's a lot less hellish than what I remembered (except Scarlet Gensokyo, which is madness).
Captured 11 spellcards on the way, notably The World and Young Demon Lord.
Given the results, I should be able to clear it with just some (a lot) more stage practice. I'll probably go for it, it's way more motivating than bombing everything in IN.
-
WR
Zomg, gj Seppo

I made it to 18 seconds remaining on Hina's last spell card in a MoF pacifist attempt. Perfect Minoriko was nice. This doesn't feel all that hard for me anymore.

(http://i.imgur.com/BwAcp.jpg)
Uhhh. Either ReimuA makes the game stupidly easy or I'm not too bad at UFO. I'll chalk it up to both. Nabbed this 1cc on my second ever attempt at playing ReimuA! And all I wanted to do was to unlock all the stages for practice haha. I also managed a NM1B Kogasa (bombed PSM at the last millimeter of health :() and a 2DNB Ichirin (deaths to opener and KKS because I wasn't paying attention). I think it was a 1D2B Murasa (bombs to Sinking Vortex and third non-spell, death to DCC... somehow). Shou was pretty terrible... I think it was 2D4B (bomb opener, die on RTG, bomb RTG, bomb 2nd non-spell, timeout Aura of Justice, die to Vajra, bomb CC). And Byakuren was an okay (for me) 3D5B (bomb Purple, bomb 2nd non-spell, captured Milky Way and the circling non-spell!, death and bomb to DR, 2D2B LFS). Ended 1/2.
Jeez my initial aspiration when I started going through Lunatics was to improve enough so that I could just sit down and 1cc them on a near whim. I was NOT expecting UFO to be the first one where this is the case. But I'm fine with that. I'm more than happy with this result :D
-
I reached 10s in SFN timeout attempt. This is day 5 of intensive playing (839 attempts so far).
I hope to get the timeout some time soon.
-
As of 7:45 PM (PST), I have now been playing Touhou for five years now. :o How could I possibly celebrate this momentous occasion?
Well, I just trashed MoF lunatic with Marisa B. That was pretty fun, actually. :3
-
After seeing how horrible I am at 90 FPS Utsuho Normal (Hint: Really bad) I checked out PCB Stage 6 with Vsync to see how well it works.
One, it works beautifully.
Two, I got first time captures of Sumizome Perfect Blossom -Getting Lost- and Resurrection Butterfly -30% Reflowering- with MarisaA.
And I haven't played PCB in... how long? A couple weeks?
-
>Is bored at 3AM
>Randomly decide to play LLS
>Load Boss Reimu Savestate
>No Death No Bomb LLS Reimu
I can only play decently at 3AM it seems
-
This replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25646) is both an accomplishment and a failure.
The accomplishment: Look at my life count. (http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee487/KarisaMirisame/1211302142.png) I've never seen anyone reach 8 lives in this game before (obviously not counting stage practice where you start with 9).
The failure: As of that screenshot, I'd just died. Right at the end of Newborn Divine Spirit (which I normally capture without a problem on Hard), with nearly full trance that I could have used for survival if it was full. I could have had more bombs by that point, too. I made some mistakes on stage 2 and 3, costing me 3 of my 4 allotted bombs that aren't planned for trance refill purposes (the last was used on Iwafune, but it didn't give me enough trance to avoid bombing Sakuraiji), and didn't restart for some reason.
Edit: Fixed replay. I'd actually uploaded my TD Lunatic stage 1-3 NDNBNT twice.

All these 90FPS shenanigans makes me feel less special.
Ah...
PoFV Hard 1cc with someone not Aya or Medicine. Marisa isn't that bad or good, right?

As of 7:45 PM (PST), I have now been playing Touhou for five years now. :o How could I possibly celebrate this momentous occasion?

I amanged to clear PCB on lunatic at 90 fps...with 3 continues used. I literally only captured 3 spellcard and used almost 60 bombs. like every single of them was a panic bomb xD
(http://www.abload.de/img/unbenannt1s0jkz.jpg)
god, that was hilarious. but man, I'm horrible at this. ended with 0/0 on the continue I won on, too.
-
After a decidedly mediocre run through stages 2-5 with SakuyaB in PCB normal (death on Chen + Dutch Dolls + several screwups in stage 4/5), I arrive at stage 6 with 0/1.
Starts rather bleh, Border Break against fairy spam, get 800 point item extend, deathbomb against Youmu, get the bomb back, start Yuyuko with 1/1. Okay, I thought, I got to Resurrection Butterfly with only 1 life in stock last time I made it to stage 6, so this is nothing impossible.
Yuyuko's opener is easy enough, but I get a rather lucky dodge against Fatal Sin because I wasn't paying attention, but I capture it anyway. SakuyaB made the second nonspell surprisingly easy.
Next, Mortality -Dead Butterfly-. I get cornered, but luckily I have a border, so it breaks (I was bombing anyway).
Nothing interesting during third non, Swallowtail Butterfly, and fourth non (all capped), so I enter Hirokawa still with 1/1. My nerves don't get me this time during the micrododging part, so I capture it, enter Sumizome with 1/1.
I do a rather good job dodging, but unfortunately I panic bomb right as I kill Yuyu, so I ruin a capture yet again (same happened on my ReimuB 1cc, where I died with about a cm of her health left :(). Enter Resurrection Butterfly 1/0.
I fail to read a red wave correctly, so I lose my last extra life. Then bomb a bit later on. Standings: 0/3 and nerves are getting tenser and tenser (weird how getting to UFO stage 4 with 8 lives or Hollow Giant Woo with 6 lives makes me more nervous than fighting Yuyuko with 1).
Then it happened again, at around 20 seconds left: didn't read correctly and got hit by another red bullet.
Ouch, too bad. But good game, Yuyuko, this was my best stage 6 run and something to be proud of!
I could definitely try for a perfect stage 6 in the future, especially since this was with Sakuya! Gonna take a break for now, though.
But wait! No game over screen and no full power items show up! I looked at my stats and saw 1009/1200. Seems I got the extend without noticing.
Relieved, I play on for a bit, use a bomb at 5 seconds just to be safe, and
phew!
Yuyuko defeated, finally got the 1cc! Resurrection Butterfly was sloppy, but it was my best run of any normal stage 6 otherwise (2D4B2B; ND2B2B without RB, and could have easily been a ND1B2B).
If Byakuren ever went this well, I wouldn't be a wreck by the time I arrive at her with 1/4 or so. Screw PCB/UFO difficulty discrepancies!
EDIT: Well look at this, just got the Scarlet Team IN normal 1cc (route 6B). Featuring no miss stage 4 (sadly had to deathbomb FS Concentrate and Duplex Barrier and failed FS Blink) + almost no miss stage 5 (stupid Invisible Full Moon) + a rather terrible stage 6. Next stop: UFO I hope? ._.
-
Hmm, I recently revived my interest in EoSD, and found out I have good chances of perfecting its Extra. Few hours ago I almost perfected Flan's fight (died at QED when she was exploding, though I'd already died at Royalflare somehow), and tried no-bombs again, and only died at Starbow Break and QED. QED will ruin many of my runs for sure, but still, most of her shit is already trivial for me. :3
-
EoSD: Hard
PCB: Hard + Extra
IN: Normal (A + B) + Hard (A) + Extra
MoF: Normal + Extra
SA: Only fails
UFO: Only fails
TD: Hard
And today I beat Suwako-chan, her last spell lacks the increasing pressure that I think that the 2 extra bosses' last spell that I have seen until now have (Ran and Mokou), also it looks easy, the first time that I reach it I beat it using only one life (or maybe it's the despair power since I was without lifes :) )

After 1ccing EoSD Normal with ReimuB (about damn time) and making it to Counter Clock for the first time (if I didn't lose two lives to Maze of Love, I would have gotten at least to her survival), I tried PCB Extra with MarisaA.
And thus I achieved my second Extra clear. Onwards to Phantasm!
-
*offtopic: Someone with problems to open the replay.gensokyo.org site here?
Oh bugger all, I can't open it either. Well, we're either going to need to find a new hosting site (Royalflare is less usable) or we all get Dropbox. If the website's doomed forever, then our choices are so. If it isn't we will have to wait until then and keep our replays on file.
On another note, Winds Blowing Down From Mt. Ooe timeout on Lunatic with ReimuA. I'll record it tomorrow or whenever I feel like it (Same with PCB Lunatic, UFO Hard, TD Hard, and a whole bunch of other stuff).

Marine Benefit Lunatic 1CC with MarisaB.
I swear, if ever I'd wanted to save an MB replay, it would be here. Let me count the reasons...and bear in mind, this is all during a 1CC attempt and without Reimu's hitbox...
- Captured High Risk High Reward
- Captured Full Starboard
- Perfected Kasumi
- Captured The Eight Million Laughing Gods
- Captured A Fantasy's Transience
- Captured Breaking Critical Point for the first time ever
- Ended with FIVE LIVES IN STOCK, which would have been impressive if I'd been playing Reimu, never mind Marisa.
-
Well I've been on an on-off TD binge today, so here's a list:
First off:
(http://i.imgur.com/klqjA.jpg)
Sigh duh. It would only take a few attempts after a break to actually figure out a good way to do this card. Doesn't mean I can do it consistently, but at least I know how. I also captured pretty much every other Overdrive today (by the way, Futo's and Yuyuko's Overdrive was near BS. I still have no idea how to do them consistently other than pray for the RNG to play nice) to have finally captured all TD cards on Lunatic + the Overdrive cards! Well that's PCB and TD down... I doubt this will be an objective for me though. I'll just let it sit as a sort of side curiosity or something.
I also got a 2MNB TD stage 5 (death to the very last part of the stage, which I haven't figured out how to do properly and to Futo's second non-spell), which I'm satisfied with for now. I'm fairly uninterested in grinding the stage some more. I'll come back for it later.
Also figured out how to perfect TD stage 4's stage portion, which I can do more or less consistently now, and an overall 2NMB Seiga fight (deaths to her first spell card and second non-spell), which I'm sure I can improve on with some more effort.
Also for UFO, more 1MNBs of both Kogasa and Ichirin. Ichirin to her opener (please shoot me) and Kogasa to PSM. I still haven't found a good way to do it other than cheesing it somehow.
I guess I might aim for some more perfects, given how there are only a few attacks that really stonewall me in some stages. Even still, grinding through stuff you've seen many times does get boring rather quickly.
-
Haven't been accomplishing anything for two weeks, been sick.
Right. List.
EoSD:
PCB:
IN:
MoF:
SA:
UFO: 6/6 Lunatic, RA extra
TD: R Normal
Granted I've not accomplished anything anyway. :V
-
Timed out Venomous Moth's Dark Dance. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbtCW4mZGj8)
Without focus.
With solo Marisa.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/LV3at.png)
Meh, ghosting and too fast controls made for a run meant a lot of irritating mistakes but whatever. It's done. Maybe I should clear other Extras at this speed. I dunno, maybe.
A lot of the run went pretty okay though so I think I'll throw this up on Youtube I guess.
-
Guess, I could post my normal progress:
EoSD: none (haven't been able to play it yet :derp:)
PCB: Stage 6 (damn you, Youmu)
IN: Stage 6 (damn you, stage 4 and 5)
MoF: 1cc Reimu A, B
SA: 1cc Reimu A
UFO: Stage 6, last card (damn you, all of it)
TD: 1cc Reimu and Marisa
Extra progess (basically how far have I gotten):
MoF: Native God "The Red Frog in Houei Era 4"
SA: "Philosophy of a Hated Person"
TD: Racoon Sign "Full Moon Pompokolin" (sob sob)
-
After deciding to stage practise UFO stage 5 on normal and utterly failing, I somewhat half-heartedly started another 1cc attempt with SanaeB. The result? Beat Murasa with 7 lives and Shou with 6 (bombspam really really helps!). Then on stage 6, I lose two lives at the beginning, reach Byakuren with 4/5 or 4/6 or so and beat her on the first attempt that made it past the butterfly spell. Would have finished 2/0 or 2/1, but a double kill on Flying Fantastica knocked me down to 1/2.
Whatever! 1cc is 1cc, so I'm happy, even though my captures in the second half of the game were limited to whatever Murasa's first is called + Good Omen in Purple Mist + butterfly spell. It's really true, the more you bomb, the better the run turns out. Now if only I got that into my head for PCB!
also woo 43/43 nazrin pendulum capture rate, but then I have 32/36 for reimuA from back when I used her =/
Anyway, the only normal 1cc's left for me are IN 6A (which isn't exactly my highest priority) and EoSD which will take a while since I don't play it that often. On the other hand, I now have 4 extras open (well, 3 extras and 1 phantasm) so there's still plenty of stuff to do before I tackle hard mode.
-
If you've cleared so many Normal modes, don't worry about completion, just move on to Hard. If you feel like what you're doing isn't challenging enough there is literally no reason no to move up to something harder.
-
Accomplishments? Eh...
>Every regular Windows game but UFO: Hard 1cc'd
>UFO: Normal 1cc'd, only just able to reach stage 6 on Hard
>All of PC-98: Normal 1cc'd
>Battered up Ran, Yukari, Flandre and Mamizou
Yeah, it's not much. Oh, and something recent: I just managed to get past Koishi's first spell for the first time, then blindly managing to get to Embers of Love. I managed to capture Danmaku Paranoia, Release of the Id and the polygraph thing on that first try. Youtube really makes them out to be a lot harder than they are it seems.
-
Went and timed out two cards: Indolence "Mind Stopper" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrVAU-f1YUM) and Rekindled "The Embers of Love" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJ1QZJidw6Y). Though I kind of fell asleep in between uploading them. :derp:

Done.
Mountain of Faith Hard with ReimuA?
Done.
-
Got off my ass and 1cced PCB (Reimu B) and IN (Magic team) on Easy. I knew I could, I just didn't feel like doing it. I've now 1cced everything (save for EoSD) on easy. Now to do it with every combination, already did that with SA.

Hey, that's a pretty cool thing to do mate. You can feel good about that one. :)

It's been a while since I played Touhou. :V
Anyway, I cleared IN extra 90 fps since it seems like everyone's doing it. Too bad I died so much
-
Why is replay.gensokyo.org down?
It's the end of the world, of course. better find alternatives. And congrats.
-
congratz on that SFN timeout. seems to be a thing again
warmly wait until I did it on 90 fps. mainly to get used to the movement speed. plus it's a fun card. like one of the best, so why the hell not :V though, 50 seconds was the best I managed, so...it might be a while :'D
-
Today seems to be extra progress day for me: reached Genetics of the Subconscious twice, Wild Deserted Island once and Shikigami "Ran Yakumo" on the first try that made it past Light/Darkness (and the second try past Reality/Dreams). I didn't even play well during Yukari's battle, capturing only Spriting Away and a few of her nonspells, so there's a load of room for improvement. Meanwhile, I'm getting more and more consistent at Koishi (I could probably capture everything before GotS), but the stage is ever annoying. Now to try Nue and see if I can do well there too!

I'll work on doing it better in the future.

Is that "attempted the extra stage 200 times" or "reached Sanae 200 times"?
-

It's back. :toot:
And congrats Yaty. Koishi is the hardest boss at the first tries, but she's very static, so after you beat her like 10 times she becomes as easy as Yukari, who usually is easier but is much more random. Despite I having perfected her with Reimu-A, my Marisa-C history (who I used for my first clear) has 100+ on Sanae's spellcard history. :V
-
Captured Yumeko's fast blue lasers phase on Lunatic.
-
Is that "attempted the extra stage 200 times" or "reached Sanae 200 times"?
Reached Sanae 200 times (I think the count was like 187-ish, wutever). I've only captured her first spell about 57 times. Mostly from trying to get the pattern down. I have no idea how many times I failed at the beginning part. Around 250? Probably.
-
Haha, I just barely survived a Pacifist SA Lunatic Stage 4 attempt.
One death to midboss Orin.
Three deaths to the green amulet streaming bit. (*____*)
One death to the first ns.
One death to Terrifying Hypnotism.
One death to DBDB.
One death to Insect's Nest.
One death to BoWaP.
This has potential! I think I nailed the timing for Insect's Nest.

Ah, this makes me feel a bit better about my 227 Sanae attempts with 3 reaching GotS. Now do the easy extras (i.e PCB/IN/MoF)!
-
I suck hard at IN. I have not idea why. I just do.
MoF is getting there, got to first survival. But Jade River keeps killing me.
In PCB I've gotten to "Unilateral Contact." I was like, "Holy crap, I got farther! Wait, which card is this?" Pichuuun~
-
I cleared MoF Easy with Marisa A. I had a silly death during Stage 3, a derpy death during Stage 5, and a slightly derpy Kanako fight, but I managed to catch Mountain of Faith. :toot:
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25616
I'd appreciate it if someone could help me with recording this replay. MoF tends to slow down a decent bit when I try to record anything on it. PM me with help for Camtasia or if you're willing to record yourself. :ohdear:

Now do it on Lunatic.

-
MoF tends to slow down a decent bit when I try to record anything on it.
Are you using the vsync patch? MoF was running at 40fps whenever I tried to record it for a while, until I managed to get the vsync patch working. The same happened with GFW, except it was inconsistently slowing down during freezes instead of running at a constant lower speed.

I suppose I could use that for whenever I record MoF again.
-
people, my sanae record is something like 170/217, too. don't feel bad about taking forever to beat a boss. I took like 3 months to get that SA extra clear. congratulations on those!
on another note: had some progress on my SFN timeout. managed to get closer to the 00, but eh, still far away. playing this spell on 90 fps is dope, people. I'm only at 1500 tries, though :V from which the first 1000 are like 1 1/2 years old. I might be able to do it this week. not sure about it. a lot of luck reflexes are involved. I'm taking some real babysteps here.

SFN 90fps timeout
After playing around with that monstrosity, the 60fps version feels incredibly slow...
I'm happy with a 90fps capture (survived to ~67s) :P
OTOH I made it down to 50s for Youmu solo unfocused (60fps obviously)
We shall see if I tread on that road :V
-
Hmm... Tried UFO No-bombs No UFO. Got to Stage 5 Nazrin.
That's a new milestone I guess. This is my 2nd try. Last time I game overed on Murasa. This time I had NMNB up to Ichirin who then killed me twice. Once on KKS and once on her final. I don't like her final. It smells. In Stage 4 I died twice as well. Once on the final orb spam. That just like KKS is tolerable. I can sorta-reliably pass these two things but it's not entirely consistent so it's not too terrible to mess these up with where I'm at skill-wise. Also died on third card because Murasa was a collossal butt.
So... next milestone would be getting to Shou. She is hard as hell though so I'd probably need a really good run combined with luck on Greatest Treasure if I were to pass through to Stage 6. Who knows, maybe it will happen someday.
-
Grats!
May I ask what shot type you are using, Zengeku? Most people seem to like using SanaeB (myself included).
-
I use ReimuA. I find that using SanaeB makes the stages easier which feels a bit like cheating. I don't think I'd be able to do much better with SanaeB though.
-
Ah, the hard way I see. :derp:
I tried using ReimuA once...think I got to like stage 3 before failing horribly.
-
No-Miss Rikako 1cc (http://oi49.tinypic.com/55i7pd.jpg)
I was going to suicide before Yumemi could kill herself but figured I'd rather try to survive. I'll get 70mil some other time. That completes the broken triad, then. I guess Ellen and Mima are the other two with whom a no-miss run is feasible. I nearly did it with Ellen a few days ago, actually.
When I'm done it's on to PoDD Lunatic and then the rest of the PC-98 games :S
I'm also planning to start PoDD seriously.
will probably start learning how to play PoDD soon.
Excellent.
-
Ah, the hard way I see. :derp:
I tried using ReimuA once...think I got to like stage 3 before failing horribly.
She's the second best shot, and makes fighting bosses a bit safer. Something like ReimuB or MarisaB is the hard way. The only parts where SanaeB truly shines are in the stage 5 and 6 spam.
-
reimu second best shot? she's best, forever :V well, sanae does make thing easierin stage 5 and 6, and possible stage 4, too. I think circling section in stage 3 becomes easier, too. not sure right now.
for my PoDD stuff: I derped around with chiyuri. dat speed. thinking that might have been overkill for me, I decided to go with Reimu for the moment. I'm still pretty bad at it, though. the system is a bit unfamiliar. I'm used to bullets disappearing when I use a level 2 spell :V also, screen flashing like crazy when there're tons of spells used. like whaaaat. this game's so hilarious. the phantasmagorias are great, indeed.
-
reimu second best shot? she's best, forever :V
Yeah uh, I have no idea why I said she's second best. I think she's the best, too. The strongest, that is. My favorite shot is MarisaA. Curse you all for impressing your opinions on me.

I use Fraps for that. Fraps, for some strange reason, just plain doesn't see my PC98 emulator. I'll have Fraps running along with it, press record, and have no video at all.
-
I use Fraps to record it, and while it is the most insufferable nightmare that could ever be dreamt of, it generally gets the job done. And I don't think there's anything else that'll let you record fullscreen. As far as I'm aware anyway.
Try fooling around with the config to see if you can make it recognize the game. For me, the important thing seems to be not having Full Color and 32 bit Color checked at the same time. One without the other is fine though.

I think that went well. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25640)
So, yeah: my very first Hard clear! EoSD becomes a much different (and better!) game once you make the jump from Normal to Hard, I found. I've been on a sort of vacation from Touhou since I finished 10D in October, much less the first time I've touched EoSD since May, and I'm surprised at how much I remembered coming back to it. I'm gonna try and see if I can get in a Marisa A clear sometime later this afternoon as well.

The Honour the Avoidance of Defiance timeout is on YouTube! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNtkHB8qGAI)
-
I captured Honor the Avoidance of Defiance (thanks for the reminder of the name Bang Jan haha) with only 1 power! I get the feeling that this card is rather luck based and rather similar to Cloudy Way in Purple for me. It can either be completely easy, or a complete dick. Sigh. The rest of the replay sucked though, so I'll just keep it tucked away where no one can see it :X. Also managed to get to stage 4 before game overing in PCB L90FPS. I really should stop trying that. I still don't think it's possible to do some attacks at that speed. Why am I still trying? Sigh.

Ooohh nice! EoSD was my first Hard clear too, and it was definitely a serious challenge for me. I think every other game fell into place rather quickly too, except for UFO. If you can clear EoSD with 2 lives remaining, you can probably sweep through the other "easy" game 1ccs too. Keep at it!
She's the second best shot, and makes fighting bosses a bit safer.
a bit safer
Haha. I really think using ReimuA is almost like cheesing some bosses. Patterns just go down so quickly to her power. Unbelievable. The only boss pattern where it doesn't help is like Vajra and Byakuren's circling non-spell. Devil's Recitation and Magic Milky Way clear unbelievably quickly when using ReimuA compared to anyone else.
Hmm... Tried UFO No-bombs No UFO. Got to Stage 5 Nazrin.
Oh wow. That's pretty impressive. I always thought the final circling bit where fairies come from both sides was almost a guaranteed death. And I'm pretty sure you can get to Shou at least with a little bit more practice. It's getting through Shou that I imagine will take a lot of effort.
-
I use Fraps for that. Fraps, for some strange reason, just plain doesn't see my PC98 emulator. I'll have Fraps running along with it, press record, and have no video at all.
Have you tried a different screen-recording program? I use HyperCam 2.
And I don't think there's anything else that'll let you record fullscreen. As far as I'm aware anyway.
If you're using anex86, you could always just resize the game window. It's not quite full-screen due to the title bar etc, but pretty close.

well, I was intereted in seeing how Vee can play In easy so much :V so I did a reimu solo run myself. turn out it was better than I expected. I mean, far away from anything he has broguth forth, but for a first try, that was totally botched up, with a death even and all that shit. broke the 2 billion. I suppose that's not too bad. MAYBE. I DON'T KNOW.
I spend the entire time unfocused, basically. that was pretty weird.

I just cleared MoF Lunatic.... with bombspam :V. But fuck it, I don't like this game anyway. So there's only UFO and TD left. :toot:
-

Not when trying to score with a human solo. There's like no reason to focus unless it's for survival purposes.
I tried out IN Easy Reimu solo last week actually. Test run scored 2.28b, follow-up scored 2.38b (with a last-second failure costing me the 2.4b). Maybe I should post it in the score thread.
-
I went to try Marine Benefit since I had not played that game in a while, so I went and played a stage 5 run, and got a 1DNB lunatic Megumi fight. (Death was a dumb one at the 2nd spell because lol what is dodging bullets)
Good to know my skills at this game are somewhat good.
I wonder how feasible a perfect lunatic Mikoto is

FUCK YES. Perfect Flan, with fucking Reimu-A, because B is overrated.
wriggle, don't feel bad about it. when I was perfecting UFO extra, I never had a 1MNB run. I always died to 2 things until I got the run. until now I din't manage to only die once.
maybe it's the same for you and you will NMNB the stage without ever doing a 1MNB
You were right. I love you. Not really.
-
ReimuA huh? Iirc she takes forever to kill things so nice job.
Not really.
Of course you do. We are all brothers and sisters here. :V
-
Sure. We're all little girls who shoot other little girls and dodge bullets. :V
And thanks btw.
-
Sure. We're all little girls who shoot other little girls and dodge bullets. :V
Can I be a big girl? I don't want to be little, that's not soft at all.
-
As long as you'll continue to bed me Cor, you can be what you want.
Okay, let's post some accomplishments and get back on track before I find myself revealing too many things in this tidy and decent board.
I've played some Phantasmagoria Trues. Got pretty solid routes down for Standard Mode so I should have a decent idea on how to survive the stages while keeping rank high. Yeah, this might be a bit easy street but it's a fun script for certain. Stage 5 is a bit annoying for some reason but I'll have to manage. Also, way to go not being able to practice the Unseen Stages and Stage 6. At least Unseen Stages would benefit from me learning enemy layouts but no, can't.
Can easily NMNB bosses in Stages 1-4 but Suika is being a bit hard for me. Some of her attacks are tough at least.
-
I got a MoF NB lunatic run to Sanae!
With a 1DNB Stage 4, the death being to PWG.
-
Survived SFN until the 24 second mark, which was a huge improvement since my previous best was 40 seconds. I can only wonder how much denser it can get, though, or how much longer I would have survived had I not let Yuyuko push me off to the side. Oh, well, nice way of starting the day, time for breakfast!
-
I used to be good at danmaku
but with all the art practice I am now very rusty
I think my best score in touhou game
is clearing EoSD extra without bomb and death
but now I can't even finish normal stages XD
-
Since 90fps seems to be hip and cool I gave it a shot. Obviously I'm not cool enough to do epic stuff like extra stages or lunatic modes, but I played a bit on IN easy.
Deaths and bombs everywhere (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25660), didn't milk a shit. 7-4 end. Oh dear.
-
The 2MNBNF Flandre is on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzXLl6xkZxs) btw. I'm gonna upload my perfect later. :3
-
Someone on /jp/ has been asking for people to try out NBNF PCB Lunatic.
Horrible, hoorrible clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25663). I had several actually good runs, which COULD possibly have gone as far as 1.1B to 1.2B, or such were my estimations. However, the run that gets the clear is godawful struggle all along. Maybe that's better, the challenge was a desperate battle for survival along the entirety of the span of few days I was giving idle attempts at it. - At least the outcome pictures the run. Played ReimuB since I'm a huge wuss.
(http://i49.tinypic.com/s1uwz6.png)
-
congratulations on that perfect EoSD extra, wriggle. good job.
lepetit, SFN doesn't get any denser than that, I think. somewhere around 30 seconds the max is reached. maybe around 25, too. can't remember.
also, Vee, you're a monster. just saying this now. like, a real one.
as for the touhou thing: being a little (touhou) girls lives inside all of us. which is why we're all dead inside :V
-
Hmm... that horrible clear is still not as bad as my horrible No-bombs clear. And that was with focused movement. PCB has a lot of quite dense patterns so you having three lives at the end of NFNB is pretty good by my standards. At least your run is better than what I can do.
-
A clear's a clear, so here's a Normal IN 1cc with Yuyuko from me.

Finally, I've unlocked all Hard EoSD stages for stage practice. (Still a while away from a clear though...)
Honestly, it's unbelieveable how much fun Remilia actually is on higher difficulties.
-
Got another Chiyuri 1cc (http://i.imgur.com/VzlWJ.png)
Wasn't so hard this time around. Kind of bittersweet though, as I would have liked for Yumemi to at least last long enough for me to reach 90mil. Another time, I guess. And it's not like this was a true "score run" in the first place.
Anyway, this also completes my little goal of redoing all the characters. I think I've pretty much regained the skill I had before switching to controller use, with interest. I'm now quite convinced that this is a superior form of input. The only advantage of the arrow keys is that you can change horizontal directions slightly more quickly. Doesn't counterbalance the drawbacks, in my opinion. Granted, the keyboard I used was probably shitty, but I don't think that means much.
If you're using anex86, you could always just resize the game window. It's not quite full-screen due to the title bar etc, but pretty close.
That's true, I guess. Unless you're cursed like me and the games refuse to work when windowed. But yeah, there are tons of alternatives to Fraps if you can window the games.

(Oh man, good thing I uploaded in 720p, this would've been unbearable otherwise.)
-
and you said my way of doing test slave is awkward. what you are doing is...even more awkward xD
also, BULLSHIT on these on-spell dodges. especially on the 3rd and 4th. the waves where you freeze nothing and still dodge everything. the second death on blazing star, however was definitely your fault and could have been prevented. still - super impressive run. you pulled some crazy things in it.
-
Keep in mind that this was my first time past the last nonspell (it really shows in Perseid... and in Blazing Star too, but that's usually impossi-hard no matter what). The one really lucky dodge was during the fourth nonspell... haha. The one in the third nonspell was probable, at least. It's funny that this is still my only run to reach the very last spell, because it implies that every other run has even worse deaths in it. :<

I've finally defeated the phantasm stage on PCB.
I feel happy and proud to have finally reached one of many goals I aim for :D
-
Major congratulations, Spriteadam.
General SA progress:
These are both with ReimuA. Got to stage 5 on Hard. And got to stage 3 on Lunatic.
-
Where did you die in your Lunatic run?
-
Uh, Midboss Yuugi. If I remember correctly.
The lasers....the lasers...-shudders-
That hard run also could have gone better if I hadn't have die twice to one of Yuugi's nonspells. I swear, stage 3s hate me.
-
Bomb the blue set. Always. It's really tight spacing. The red set and the circle bullets after it you can stream. Oh, and bomb all of Parsee's attacks you can't capture.
-
Parsee is weird for me. Some days, I'm really good at her. Other days, I...yeah... However, I find that I am surprisingly good at Parsee's midboss spell on all difficulties (and now I've jinxed it :V).
I'm pretty much going to focus on clearing hard before lunatic, cause it just makes sense. Might switch off ReimuA as well, because of Satori. MarisaC might be a good option, or ReimuB.
-
Aw, no one liked my achievement

It's MoF. I've had my eyes dilated and I'm pretty sure I could do normal under those conditions (eyesight would be reasonably recovered by the final card so dodging would be manageable)

Feels like ages since you called out Ace on the same bullshit you're pulling.
-
Yeah really now. That post of yours is in pretty bad taste IHNN.
As for your accomplishment Mr. Kenta, I have no experience with having eyes dilated but I looked it up and it sounds like it could cause some complications with regards to Touhou playing. In any case, good job not burning all your resources on the final attack. I can imagine that would be a pain to play without being able to see clearly.
-

I get kind of agitated when people complain about not having their posts recognized, no one is owed a response or anything like that. My impression was that he wanted a response, so I gave one. It's MoF so it's doable by bombombombombombombomb and dodge the final card at which point eyesight would be mostly back to normal. It might not have been the nicest response (after all, a clear is a clear regardless of how it's gotten, so kudos for a clear) but from my impression it's what was requested.

I don't like it either when people do that, but as far as proper conduct here goes, what you did was much, much worse.
Nonetheless, the fact that you can't apologize for your inappropriate retaliation tells me more than enough about you or rather, confirms what was previously known, so it's not like this is anything overly surprising.
-
you can't apologize for your inappropriate retaliation
*rechecks post
huh. So it's not there. I did a bunch of editing and that part must have been removed by a ctrl-z.
At least you didn't call me mentally ill like the last guy even if it was a low blow and I could argue that what you did was much worse as it goes from requesting attention to 1-upping to a personal attack
Sorry about that Kenta.

Oh, please don't worry, what I said to you had little to do with your misconduct or this thread, it's just a conclusion regarding your character I drew, so I really wouldn't consider it a personal attack. If you want to prove me wrong as far as said conclusion is concerned, by all means, go ahead, though you're making steps in the right direction already.
Anyway, happy to see that the lack of an apology was not intentional, so let's leave it at that since the matter seems to have been settled.
-
Well I cleard TD hard with Reimu, after about 7/8 Continues of course :P Though what I like most about the run is that I captured Futo's last card first try :D

I'm really sorry guys, I didn't mean to start a fight. I can explain why I posted that though ...

You worry too much, I didn't really think anything of your later remark, so you really don't need to apologize.

So do I honestly.
and I'm sure some people thought it was interesting but just didn't think to respond to it. the 'thread view' count is much higher than the reply count after all.

I have ADHD as well. :V

Don't expect recognition from something that you may find highly surprising E.G(Your eye),it must be something you will feel proud of to have completed.
Its not about what impresses others,but what you feel proud of.
Also I have asperger syndrome aswell so I understand what it feels like to be "the wierd kid",but I can tell you this,if you want to change how you socialize with others so you can fit it wont mean you will have to change your own personal life.
I was born in Ireland and I am of irish descent but for some reason I have an american style accent(I blame my autism on that).
Anyway all I can say is that any problems you have with socializing with others will eventually change.
And do not feel demotivated if nobody replies to your accomplishment,in the end its you that must be proud. :)

now, you guys are being silly. either go all the way up to 120 or stop :V
actually, a 120 fps run of an extra stage would probably be pretty badass.

Okay, after absolutely horrible playing for hours on end, I was feeling pretty crap...and missing a timeout of A Fantasy's Transience by five freaking seconds did NOT help.
So I was like, today's been a waste...oh, fine, whatever, just one more run and then I'm going to bed...

I did PCB's a while ago, though I didn't keep the replay. It wasn't very badass, in any event. I was trying 150fps for a while, but gave up. It's probably doable though.
While I'm here I guess I'll mention I did another GFW Extra 90fps (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25706) run, inspired by the recent attention it was getting. You should never bomb against Super Perseid or Blazing Star unless it's absolutely necessary, by the way.

Tried to do an Iwafune timeout because I was fairly sure it was easier to time out than capture.
(http://i.imgur.com/Mivjo.jpg)
NOPE! I was totally wrong. Spent a good hour on it, but the cool thing is that near the end of my attempts, I decided to see whether I could actually capture it, given that I had failed so many times in timing it out. When I started, I had a history of 4/155. Yup. I did capture it 8 times in a row. I'm fairly proud of that even if I couldn't get the timeout. I just hope that it wasn't Futo just being super nice to me all 8 times. That would be such a downer.
Though I always seem to fail that at like the 15 second mark. It doesn't get any harder, but uhh... I just can't seem to get it down to the last 10 seconds (aside from one time). Still enough to capture it (as Reimu, I noticed that you captured it at around 15-20 seconds into the card, depending on how much you stayed under Futo), but I guess my endurance just isn't good enough to keep it up. At least I'm much better at capturing it I guess. Tons of fun though.

Eh don't worry about it. Honestly I'm going to guess that there's a sort of implicit "congrats" going on in everyone's head with each post they read, but this thread would become cluttered way too quickly if there were a bunch of "congrats" for every accomplishment. Plus people often forget about others accomplishments when they're posting something that they're super excited about like a first 1cc or something, and they just don't bother to read the thread (I'm guilty of that quite often). I'm sure there are other reasons, but just don't let it get to you. It would be nice if social interaction had a rule book or something, but it doesn't. That's life and you just have to get used to it at your own pace, whilst making mistakes along the way. Don't think that the rest of us haven't blundered in one way or another in that regard. I'm sure it happens more often than you think.

Yeah, I know where this is coming from. It's pretty obvious once you're at Blazing Star, but Perseid is so intimidating it's hard not to. :V
-

Why is that? So you can bomb through the final phase of Fairy Destruction Ray?
Anyway, I managed a 1 power Genetics of the Subconscious capture that I thought I was going to time out (replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25715)). Also came the closest I've ever been to capturing Philosophy of a Hated Person's third phase (and the entire card, the only Extra card I still need to capture not counting Imperishable Shooting). Also nearly scored 900 million, if I hadn't gotten clipped with 2 power at the end of Subterranean Rose. I'll get the no-death run next time I manage to not die to Superego, hopefully.

First 1cc of SA with ReimuB.

Congrats! SA normal is probably the hardest normal mode in the series IMO.
Still not as hard as this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54dU2ES_4-E) though.
-
tsym, I found it easier to time out than it was to capture :/ it took me like what, 20 attempts? on the other hand, I only captueed it like 2 times in the runs. one of the times coming from my perfect stage 5.
I don't get why you wouldn't bombs these either. I mean, if you have 3 bombs, why not use one (you will never have 3 bombs, but that's another story :V)
-
Finally got the Iwafune timeout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25718). I got curious and decided to check out the other two Iwafune timeouts on the first page by chum and IHNN, and from what I can tell, I'm just terrible at this game/have terrible reflexes/don't know where my eyes should be on the screen. Took me well over 150 attempts at this and people do it in <20 by doing these weird in the corner dodges and whatnot? Well jeez. I guess I'm just so used to trying to capture the damn card that basically in my timeout, I spent a good chunk of time underneath Futo (Not all the time because the corners/sides can be very dangerous in some cases), but enough time that I would be able to capture it fairly quickly. Honestly though, I still have no idea how this card is easier to time out than capture. It looks equally as tough (or non-tough?) either way.

I don't really get why you find it easier to time out than capture. A 1/20 timeout rate, given the card ends at maybe halfway through if you try to capture it, would be roughly equivalent to a 1/10 capture rate. Just given the probability, it's highly likely that the RNG will like you at least one time out of those 10 and have Futo riding higher up on the screen rather than lower, making the card a cinch to capture. It's not all that tougher to stay under Futo than not under her, given what I saw in other timeout attempts. It's not like this card is RTG where the bullet spread is actually quite a bit wider in the corners than in the middle, which actually does make that card easier to time out than capture (I think. I've gotten fairly close in timing it out, but I could be wrong).
And for the bombing thing, you do get 25% perfect freeze if you die to cards, so I'm going to guess that the final card is just THAT fearsome on 90fps.
-
I think you misunderstood what I meant. I timed it out in around 20 attempts, yes. but I don't have a capture history of 2/20. it's something like 2/70. I don't know why I can't capture it for fucks sake, but do well in a timeout. maybe I'm just weird.
and congratz on the timeout.
as for bombing: super perseid is what's terrifying. if you get a bad RNG you literally can't dodge the familiars raining down on you. it's just impossible. the last spellcard was bad, yes, but not as horrible as that.
-
Oh it's not horrible, especially not compared to the two cards before it, but you will most likely be on your last life at that point. Saving a bomb to pretty much instantly end the final phase is pretty damn useful in that regard.
I'd still use one bomb on Perseid, though.

Oh that's what I get for typing in the early morning and not proofreading. What I meant was given that, from what I can see, timing the card out and capturing it seem to be roughly similar in terms of dodging difficulty, you SHOULD have a capture rate of 1/10 if you have a timeout rate of 1/20, and if you don't, then the RNG was being particularly mean. But I mean since you don't, I'm not really sure why there's this disparity. Of course it may just be different people read some cards differently, especially one like Iwafune where there's multiple places on the screen you can dodge at.
And thanks! It's actually the first card that I've actually tried to timeout, and even then it's probably only because of spell practice haha.
I also find Perseid really scary, but maybe Zil's just really good at Perseid and finds the need to bomb Marisa's final card much more important.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
First 1cc of SA with ReimuB.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25716
Also I didn't notice this before as I was being rather shortsighted, but that's absolutely fantastic! ReimuB definitely isn't trivial to 1cc SA with. You might want to try UFO Normal or another game on Hard now (or UFO Hard/SA Hard haha).
-
Shaved off the last few seconds from the StB IL table needed to bring the total time below 38 minutes. The last scenes improved were 4-6, 6-7, 7-3, 7-7, 10-1, 10-8 and EX-2. :toot:
-
It doesn't really have to do with the difficulty. (I don't think Perseid is nearly as hard as the last two, though.) The thing is that Fairy Destruction Ray will inevitably reduce your motivation to 0%, even if you went in with something like 300% or more. That means that bombing to an earlier spell does nothing but cost you a bomb, since the motivation you saved is lost anyway. So unless those cards will literally end the run if they hit you, you shouldn't bomb them.
In fact, since dying charges your bomb gauge slightly, it's actually better to die to lose the motivation to the beam. So you should suicide for bombs if you reach the final with any extra motivation. The last phase can be done with a single bomb, not needing to dodge anything. The second phase would probably take two bombs to completely trivialize, though even one bomb goes a long way. The first phase should be fairly trivial anyway. So having two bombs makes it much easier. Having three basically nullifies its existence.
So basically, reach the last nonspell with lots of motivation. If you stop bombing from there, you should have three bombs for the final spell, assuming Perseid and Blazing Star don't completely wreck you.
e: Better yet, as long you have over 100% motivation on the final spell, just stay underneath the orbs at any cost, choosing to die rather than go into the beam. That's better then outright suicides, I guess.
-
Also came the closest I've ever been to capturing Philosophy of a Hated Person's third phase
It's really easy, just do it the way I do, which I learnt from IBUKI's scoreplays (which you kind of dodge in a large "square" pattern). It pretty much trivializes it, I don't even have to worry about the roses at all.
-
Also I didn't notice this before as I was being rather shortsighted, but that's absolutely fantastic! ReimuB definitely isn't trivial to 1cc SA with. You might want to try UFO Normal or another game on Hard now (or UFO Hard/SA Hard haha).
I've always used ReimuB and MarisaB. ReimuB deals quite a bit of damage while unfocused. And also I did 1cc UFO with ReimuA, MarisaA and MarisaB. Thank you anyways~
-
How come you don't use ReimuA in SA? Best shot type!
-
How come you don't use ReimuA in SA? Best shot type!
Not for me. I NEED ReimuB's auto-collect and her homing-thingies when unfocused are really useful. ReimuA has a low-power bomb and her shots are too forward-focused. My type of play requires a wide spread or semi-homing.

That card is so fun to watch...not so fun to actually do (at least for me).
-
Subterranean Animism 'ultra' hard 1cc!
Finally managed to not triple-death Stage 3 (only 1!), died only once in Stage 4 despite a lower power start, played abyssmally in Stage 5 but still managed to get through Utsuho on 2 lives and 4 power start! I even had a bomb to spare.
-
Perfect Koishi battle. That was sort of unexpected, though I knew I was close. Intended to just be a no-death run (sort of for score, but I didn't bomb for graze at all on Koishi just in case). Also reached 10000 graze.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_cw0pLYdFs
Extra perfects so far: Nue, Flandre, Suwako, Ran, Koishi
Remaining: Yukari, Gengetsu, Mamizou, Alice, Marisa(?), Mokou(??)
It's really easy, just do it the way I do, which I learnt from IBUKI's scoreplays (which you kind of dodge in a large "square" pattern). It pretty much trivializes it, I don't even have to worry about the roses at all.
OK, why did I not look at more variety of replays? Normally I'd be one of the first to do that... maybe it's because the last time I'd seen that spell was Seiga's perfect run (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_tCZHiKTZM#t=9m48). Well, anyway, thanks. It's much easier that way.
-
Finally, IN Extra cleared. With captures of "Fujiyama Volcano" and "Flying Phoenix" to boot!
-
karisa, don't do marisa. it will only frustrate you. I tell you out of experience :V unless you are significantly better than me at GFW; who knows. but yeah, I wouldn't recommend it.
congratulations on the perfect koishi! I see we perfected the same extra bosses and are missing the same. quite a coincidence. I say go for yukari next; she's the easiest out of those you're missing. Alice after that. well...yah :V
@Yatakarasu I don't like the spell either. it's really annoying because you can't shoot koishi like you would want to. I never tried timing it out, but eh, I wouldn't want to, either. I'm not a person who times out much. I could probably stuff all my timeout in a video that wouldn't exceed 30 minutes - last words included.
congratulations on that extra clear, validon. mokou's probably one of the harder extra bosses. for some reason, anyway. it took me a while before I became consistent on her.
-

I see how it is. <_______________________________<
Congrats though. I don't have much experience with the ones you haven't done, so I can't really say what to do. What do you plan to do next?
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGoRWVKzxVc&feature=youtu.be beat TD Stage 4 on Hard with no deaths! though I did bomb once as I was trying something out though it didn't really work too well.
-
What do you plan to do next?
Current goals: TD 8-life clear (i.e. no deaths, 20 extend reached), SA Lunatic 1cc with 3 suicides to Parsee for grazing purposes
Well, my signature has my current full-game goals, both of which I've been attempting on and off for a while (second one was reduced from 4 suicides to 3 after too many stage 3/4 game overs).
Regarding perfects, I'm really close to Yukari. After unlocking IN 222 to memorize Danmaku Bounded Field she's pretty much the same difficulty as Ran, complete with exactly one card that's giving me trouble (except it's Double Black Death Butterfly instead of Charming Siege). I'd like to do MS Extra but my computer still usually has recording slowdown issues in that stage, and neither an unrecorded perfect nor a perfect with 19% slowdown would be very satisfying. As for main game stages, I've done pretty much every boss I feel like I currently can handle, except Reisen, who would pretty much consist of replaying the stage until I get lucky on her last spell.
-
Not for me. I NEED ReimuB's auto-collect and her homing-thingies when unfocused are really useful. ReimuA has a low-power bomb and her shots are too forward-focused. My type of play requires a wide spread or semi-homing.
Fair enough.

Took me well over 150 attempts at this
Please allow me to 1-up this.
I finally got a no focus, no vert timeout of Fantasy Seal -Fader- Lunatic. This literally took me about 610 tries, after doing a normal timeout in less than 10. I had 2 deaths at 1 second left and countless awesome dodges/epic fails. Basically I was doing this in groups of 200 attempts at a time. I got to 200 today, died to the first wave and said "no that's not okay."
Then I tried again... (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25732)
Also Zil, when did you finally get your 90 mil run in PoDD? I noticed the signature changed.
-
My first timeout of Iwafune had like 250 attempts thrown at it too. Then the no-focus timeout immediately after that took 400 more.
It's easier to timeout for most people because most people focus on following her by reflex when their aim is to capture. (I'm not one of them)
-
Whoo! Got my first IaMP lunatic 1cc with Patchy, then I did some tries with Marisa and 1cc'd lunatic with her too!
I am going to try get 1cc's of all the 10 story modes, I guess I should do Reimu next.
Also I started playing Double Spoiler ultra and captured everything up to 8-2, with the exception of 4-1 (how do) and 4-6 (fuck momiji).
-
Am very happy! I finally got a Hard 1cc of Ten Desires (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=25735). Don't know which Hard 1cc I should go for next though.
Anyone got a suggestion for what would be the next easiest game?

It was PCB > EoSD > IN for me. But many people find IN easier, I don't get that.
-
Congratulations!
I'd say you should go for IN next, but, as Wriggle said, PCB is also a good option. Both games offer lots of resources, though PCB mainly has the borders going for it which, if used strategically, can drastically improve the amount of resources at your disposal, not to mention the great amount of Extra Lives you can get. In the end, I'd say it depends on which bosses you feel you can handle more easily.
-
I managed to 1cc UFO Normal with MarisaB, finally. But getting my fifth UFO Normal 1cc in itself isn't the amazing thing. It was the fact that I captured, for the first time ever, "Flying Fantastica." With MarisaB.
And I ended the run with five lives instead of one or two as I normally do. With MarisaB.
:o
@Wriggle I think IN is easier than EoSD and PCB. I don't know why, but I do.

Erm wouldn't that imply that most people would capture the card by staying under her than timing it out? (Sorry maybe my sentence parsing ability isn't working right now).

Woot! I think you can throw caution to the winds and just do whatever game you want really. They're all in the same ballpark of difficulty on Hard, except for SA and UFO, which I think are a level above the rest. I believe I did them in numerical order (EoSD to PCB to IN to MoF and onwards), but I don't think it really matters too much. You'll get to them all eventually!
-
It was PCB > EoSD > IN for me. But many people find IN easier, I don't get that.
Probably what your skillset is like. If someone is good at memorization he may find IN easy because a lot of it can be done through memorization. EoSD, meanwhile, has a lot less memorization and a lot more pure dodging involved, so if you don't like memorizing but you're good at dodging you may find that easier.
-
and so fell another extra on 90 fps. this time suwako. another 0 life ending, though :v nothing to keep a replay over.
score was TERRIBAD, too.
(http://www.abload.de/img/unbenannt14zq36.jpg)
died twice to suwako's 2nd spellcard. I don't even know how.
as for easy to hardest games on hard
do PCB. IN still has kaguya and she's starting to become a bitch on hard. I generally say I can't clear if I don't have at leat 4 extra lives in stock. and that's a ridiculous amount, for any boss. I need less for byakuren :V
-
So I captured Sylphae Horn High Level on lunatic for the first time ever today. :]
-
Erm wouldn't that imply that most people would capture the card by staying under her than timing it out? (Sorry maybe my sentence parsing ability isn't working right now).
I'm pretty sure they'd follow her around and capture the card that way.
I beat IN Hard when I was still beating Extra stages (hell, even before that) on pretty much my first try.
Have I been missing out? Is is secretly remotely a challenge? I can't really say since I played it only once.
-
After one attempt that ended at Curse of Vlad Tepes and two that ended at the nonspell right afterwards, I finally managed to 1cc EoSD normal! When I went into Red Magic 2/1, I knew that nothing could stop me, and I finished 1/2 in the end. Captured Red Star of David and CoVT along the way.
I also was about to perfect stage 5, but then I decided to choke (read: die) on Sakuya's last non and managed to waste 3 bombs on her last, oh well.
I have suspicions that I have played more EoSD in the last two days than I have ever before (not really), but at least the concept of having no visible hitbox isn't thaat alien to me anymore (the bullet hitboxes suck, though (curse you, Undine!)).
I peeked at the extra stage for a bit and Silent Selene alone is better than anything that Ex-Kogasa has to offer.
Since 1cc'ing IN 6A isn't that migh up my priority list, I now have the choice between completing the 5 extra stages I haven't beaten yet, trying other shottypes for normal, or starting hard. Seems IN is a good choice if I go with the latter, but extra stages are more interesting atm.
-
Also Zil, when did you finally get your 90 mil run in PoDD? I noticed the signature changed.
Oh, so people actually look at that. Sometime last night, it was.
Anyway, yeah. 90 fucking million. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT07p4f8bv4)
Nice to finally break that barrier. I've also learned a few things. Like the way fireballs seem to disappear when reflected sometimes. I think that's because you can only have 8 EX attacks out at once. The game tries to turn the fireballs into EX attacks, but there's no room for them so they just disappear (and the other player gets a wall of bullets with no fireballs to help reflect them). I also broke 70mil with Rikako (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_LAm84c_Kw), in case anyone cares to see that.
I should probably slow down a bit now. Study for exams and crap. I plan to beat every score I know of that's higher than my own. Probably saving Chiyuri for last. Gonna have to check the NicoNico videos, but iirc the Ellen score was the only one higher then mine there. 81mil or something.
-
Mountain of Faith Normal 1CC without bombs or focus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fq1ZK342-i8)
-
Made it to Chiyuri with 4 lives. It... didn't help :derp:
I don't understand how you can enjoy this game's scoring so much, Zil. I mean, it's a good Touhou game, great dodging, but like I got 6m on Stage 1 playing as Rikako due to some sort of coincidence, then got 5m from the next 5 stages combined. It's all so frustratingly random.
-
RNG, I know that. I, too, feel like that game's scoring is super arbitrary and I have some weird shit going on score-wise, too. who are you playing, if I may ask?
-
Captured Ran's second and third spell cards. Now if only "Charming Siege" would be nice.
-
It switches, Sakurei. I like Mima quite a bit but she has St.7 Reimu who is a hate machine. Mostly Rikako because her charge attack is 8)
-
PoDD's scoring is great because the more you crank up the difficulty, the higher you score. That is, the more of a badass you are, the more badass your score becomes.
And that's beautiful.
There are random elements in the game, all of which can affect scoring, but scoring itself isn't random. Cancel everything fairy chains (using lvl1s to nab additional fireballs and cancel-able bullets), avoid chain-dropping as much as possible, and fire lvl2s as convenient to add cancel-able bullets (and get a little bonus). Or that's the dummy's version, at least; Zil's obviously more intimate with it. I mainly wanted to say that PoDD's scoring is great.
-
Captured Ran's second and third spell cards. Now if only "Charming Siege" would be nice.
I'm glad ZUN nerfed Yukari's version of it. :V
A bit off-topic, but I'll list which Extra's spellcards I find harder than their Phantasm's equivalent, cuz I'm bored as hell right now:
Blue Oni Red Oni > Protection of Zenki and Goki
Banquet for 12 Gods > Balance of Motion and Silence
Charming Siege > Xanadu of Straight and Curve
Princess Tenko > Yukari's Spiriting Away (I feel like Ran chases you faster)
Shikigami Chen > Shikigami Ran
-
In the process of doing some ~secret work~, I perfected EX Alice for the second time, once more with Yuka. Woo! Also the score was 93 million or something, but who cares about stuff like that like amirite you'd have to be the type who likes watching suicide bullets shoot their own suicide bullet.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/WJcba.jpg)
GFW Extra cleared... Yeah I don't feel terribly excited by this one because the strategy was basically to not screw up during the stage so I could go into Marisa with enough resources to essentially cheese my way through Big Crunch, Open Universe, and Super Perseid. Not to mention that I'm terrible at Master Spark and Grand Cross, losing a life on both. I dunno. The first time I did them, I got a silver medal. I don't think I've done that since.
It's funny to think that I once thought Extra bosses generally weren't too hard. Ha. Ha ha. Ha. Sigh. This game. THIS GAME.
-

Princess Tenko > Yukari's Spiriting Away (I feel like Ran chases you faster)
Shikigami Chen > Shikigami Ran
I agree with most of those, though I find 12 Gods pretty simple... but Chen harder than Ran? On Chen you can practically just sit still, then move up and down one or two times during the whole thing.
Accomplishments: DS stages 9-8 and 10-2. Getting to be where passing a single stage at this point is an hour long task...
-
I find Shikigami Ran much harder than Chen because Ran flies at the most random angles while Chen just alternates between left and right. I might have not found the trick for Ran yet, but I didn't even need to figure anything out for Chen and captured it relatively quickly so there's that. Chen is really by far the easiest 8th spell I've seen so far (I don't know how hard Counter Clock is, but I've heard Rainbow UFO is pretty tough).
As for Tenko/YSA, it's not that Ran moves faster, it's that her bullets linger for longer, whereas all of YSA's extra stuff is basically just for show. Sad to say that YSA is the only extra stage spell I captured on my first try (maybe Suiga but I don't remember), but at least my history is perfect on it so far.
-
Shikigami Ran's movement isn't very random. She alternates between top-left-bottom-top-right-bottom and so on, and every time she reaches the bottom of the screen, she aims for your position. And the horizontal butterflies that come from Ran when she's on the bottom can't hit you, so staying on the very bottom of the screen, alternating between directing her to the left and right, is pretty safe (though the diagonal butterflies can still hit you so don't stay too close to her). I captured it at 91fps (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqYgYnKLxZE#t=6m45s) without much trouble.
Meanwhile, although Chen does indeed alternate between left and right, the precise location she ends up in seems rather random, not aimed at you like Ran is, so you have to actually be concerned about dodging Chen as well as the butterflies. And the bottom isn't very safe.
Also Counter Clock is the easiest 8th Extra card by far. I think I may have even captured it on my first try.

Like K.B. said, it has this great sort of "custom difficulty" to it. The more spells you use, the harder it gets, and the higher you score, etc. And personally, I find that the general gameplay involved is just the most amazing thing. Guiding the bullets and fireballs to where you want them, timing the destruction of enemies, using charge attacks, dealing with bosses, all that. I dunno, it's just incredibly fun to me, even more so because of how unpredictable it is. You don't just plan every move in advance. You have to continually react to situations you've never seen before, aggressively going after whatever opportunities present themselves. It's like the quintessential video game. I can't promise you'll experience it the same way though.

Yeah, getting to Marisa with at least 500% motivation helps quite a bit! It's mostly a matter of minimizing mistakes and you have your run. (if only that'd be so easy to do on 90fps!)

what the fuck is wrong with people here :V congratulations on that almost 100 million score. crazy stuff. always impressed again. Can't clear this game for shits somehow; and you pull one lunatic 1cc after another. with some real high scores to boot.
minimizing mistakes. ha...ha...ha...blergh. yeah, still bitter about that 1DNB.

Damn congrats! The card itself is hard enough already, but the no vert condition sounds rather painful.
After all that, it's not really too hard anymore. I would almost daresay I can read it lol, but not really. It mainly started with me just screwing around and a few times I made some crazy dodges and figured "wow this can probably be done." Of course it took somewhere between 3 and 4 hours of just playing the attack before it worked.

I mainly wanted to say that PoDD's scoring is great.

YES FINALLY
Perfected max rank LLS Marisa :toot: :toot: :toot: :toot: :toot:
Another PC-98 Boss down! Now only both Yuuka fights, Reimu and Gengetsu are left to perfect at max rank.
Wish I could record pc-98 stuff though, anyone know if there's a way to record anex98 with fraps?
And speaking of Mima... (http://i.imgur.com/NTTxZ.png)
Whoa congrats on the crazy score, I tried to play this and since I got anihilated on lunatic, I played normal and barely 1cc'd with Reimu, it's definitly an extremely fun game, but it seems I'll need a lot more of practice if I ever want to try get a lunatic 1cc.
-

(http://i.imgur.com/pfJfx.jpg)
Nabbed a ReimuA Mof L1cc this morning! I started playing just to relax for a bit, but I was pretty surprised when I got as far as I did. Even still though, VoWG managed to completely kick my butt. Entered Kanako with 5 lives, entered VoWG with 5 lives, and I left with just one. That damn card... It also caught me completely off guard at the beginning because I thought the card was pretty much static. Turns out it's not. It's static based on your position at the start of the card. Normally when I practice it I start at the bottom middle and I know exactly how the card will go. This time, Kanako aimed the whole thing to the left or right or something and it completely threw me off. I swear that it becomes a pretty different card if she aims it differently since the "holes" and movement patterns that used to work for the bottom middle aim that I'm used to completely changed positions. Still got it, despite all the deaths.
Overall I think it was a pretty crappy run. I bombed a lot of stuff, and I was completely out of practice with Sanae, so I did a lot of stupid stuff during her fight, but eh. A clear's a clear. I think my next move is to go back and no bomb these games. I kind of have to wonder where to start though... They all seem fairly tough once you remove bombs from the equation.
And speaking of Mima... (http://i.imgur.com/NTTxZ.png)

Fuck yes, perfected Ran (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25769), with weak ReimuA. Like I said before, I did have a NMNB1bb I did back in 21/07 (my birthday :toot:), but had never bested it until now. Special thanks to Myst for helping me a lot with Izuna Gongen safespot
which I fucked up before the blue balls and needed to raw dodge anyway :V. You are awesome <3. I was also very nervous and messed up the last noncard due to going too late to POC but somehow panic dodged the broken stream. I also almost messed up at Shikigami Chen.
Anyway, I'll record this later and up onto YT. :3

Oh, by the way PMW, Fraps can work with Anex, yes. It's what I use. Try disabling 32bit color or something if it isn't working.

GFW A-1 lunatic 1cc...on ultra!
Yeah I have no idea how I did this, and quite frankly don't care. I dodged the super dense fireballs perfectly the first time around, and died 2-3 times the second time they came up. (Stage 3). I don't even know how.

Progress! (http://i.imgur.com/YKoRK.png)
It's out there. I just need some consistency practice, less panic and massive luck.

I've been at this too. Pacifying Stage 4 in PCB. I have now managed to do it with 4 misses twice. My best one has me pacifying everything except one miss on the Prismgirls 2nd non-spell and three to their final spell. Fucking cunts. Oh well... not their fault that I'm bad at playing. Progress nevertheless.

Finally, FINALLY I captured "Spleen Eater" on normal.

I got a few neat spell captures tonight! :toot:

It's been such a long time since I posted in the success or the fail thread. Mostly because I'm not sure where my antics fit...
Anyway, I am getting close to my first lunatic 1cc (MoF). I just had that awesome run where a bunch of impossible attacks suddenly make sense. Hina's spells, Nitori's first spell, Aya's first nonspell and last spell, Sanae's midboss and first boss nonspell... I couldn't do them to save my life and now all of a sudden I manage them effortlessly. It feels great!
I just did my best attempt so far, scrambling all the way to Kanako's last nonspell (it was my first time reaching Kanako on lunatic). I'm certain that if I don't die with bombs in stock, that I can do it. It's within reach. It feels satisfying even if I haven't done it yet.

That's pretty much how MoF works. I didn't give it much dedication since I find it boring as hell, so I bombspammed almost everything to get my Lunatic 1cc. Minoriko's and Hina's last spell, all of Nitori's spells, Momiji, all of Aya spells, almost all of Sanae's spells, and almost all of Kanako's. And haven't touched it since then. :V
Anyway, VoWG is where the game really begins. Get there with at least 1 life in stock, because you'll need it.

Super-Ego is still madness, though...
Congrats. Release the Id is a wall torture at first, but once you learn how to dodge it, it becomes much easier. I can still remember how painful Superego used to be... fast, and bullets coming from the bottom. I'd recommend you to first try dodging it with more horizontal movement while staying far from Koishi but not too close to the bottom. Then you can figure out when to try diagonal downwards movements.
-
I find that my success on Id is inversely proportional to my success on Super-Ego. Anyone else?
-
We've had this discussion before. I still think ID is the one that stays
clippy challenging overtime. Super Ego's gaps are insultingly big.
-
Well, I dominated Id much earlier, and can time it out very easily. Still, it's clippy beyond belief in no-focus runs. :V
....Koishi herself is clippy as hell to NF. Rorschach becomes impossible, as well as Subterranean Rose with Reimu-A. I made it to Sub Rose's 3rd wave with 2 spare lives in my Reimu-A NF clear, and cleared the game with 0. :getdown:
-
I think ID is harder overall, but for "beginners", super ego might be more uncomfortable due to bullets coming from below. they won't be used to that. it's the same issue with genetic of subconscious.
-
Huh. That's weird. For me, Id is the easiest one by far. Super Ego has larger gaps but the bullets coming from behind makes it tougher imo. I remember having to pacify both of them in the same run for some contest back on LR and well... it wasn't hard but it was definitely more scary to keeping at dodging Super Ego for that long time compared to Id. And as you say Sakurei, it will be even more tough for beginners. I still remember when Koishi was difficult for me. This spell was one of the reasons.
-
Well, I reached Miko (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25823).
...Then I game overed to her first spellcard. :derp:
This would have been a perfect of the first three stages were it not for dying to Score Desire Eater. That other death to Tao Taidou stung.
-
Well, since it's 12-12-12, I decided to play UFO Lunatic for a while (Lunatic since L is the 12th letter). No major accomplishments, but it seems I actually can somewhat handle Kogasa's last two cards lately, not consistently, but I no longer feel like I got lucky every time I capture either of them.
(I also find Id easier than Superego, it may help that Id is similar to Kaguya's third last spell but with larger bullets)

As usual, someone woke me up from my self-loathing slumber and pushed me towards it a bit. Seems like I owe some gratitude to Waah, since I finally reached that goal of 1.5B ReimuA. I guess I should update the Royalflare post as well. Maybe I'll sit down and learn some proper techniques for grazing shit on Yuyuko and borders on the game some day. Yeah, some day, we'll see about that in 2014. For now I must continue IN. Yukari FinalB easy is my current main goal, I think. Or I could play just some other games for less serious stuff. I don't know.

Improved the previous 10-8 StB speedrun by over 4 seconds. If this keeps up sub 37 minutes total is around the corner. Gosh darn.

managed sstage 1 until 7 in StB on 90 fps. I have replays (videos) for every scene an plan to upload them. the only think I am unsure of currently is how :V I mean, do I wait until I have cleared every scene (8-7 and 9-7 oh god...), do I upload them stage by stage or do I pak them together (i.e 3 stages in one video)
what do you guys think :V I also plan to put my own music in the video, considering that it's super annoying to hear the first 20 seconds of the bgm the game has; then the scene is finished and we repeat it. so yeah. don't expect ingame music :V

Congrats man! I think doing 1 video per stage is a good way, I guess one song should be enough to last when you are playing at 90 fps. Or maybe just making one video of the scenes you liked the most or something. Did any scene give you much trouble yet? I still haven't done all of stage 6 and 7 on 120fps :c
-
thanks!
trouble...well I found 6-2 really tough for...you know...stage 6. stage 7 didn't have anything where I went "wow, fuck that's difficult" though, I did mess up 7-2 rotation due a few times to my movement speed. also hated sakuya running away from my lense, I thought it would be much harder, though. so I am happy I got it in as few tries as I did.
others that game me tons of trouble were 8-3, 8-7 and 9-3. and unsurprisingly 9-6. the one scene from stage 9 I haven't managed yet. I am also dreading a couple scenes from stage 10, though extra shouldn't be too hard. 9 and 10 are definitely more difficult. "guilty not guilty" and the mirror thing might actually be REALLY difficult. old rain is going to be hell, too. and as a matter of fact, I found 5-1 and 5-5 pretty difficult. random dodging at that speed? well. it looks cool if you actually dodge something, rather than hit it :V
seeing how aya's movement speed is already bullshit to control on 90 fps, I don't even want to imagine what it's like on 120. it's like every time I move unfocused, I die, because tapping means you go like 20 pixels into that direction.
well, I do plan on finishing the rest of the game as well...though, if I hit like 3000 photos on kinkaku-ji, I might skip this one :V still have 1400 left, so yeah.
alright, I put together the first three stages already, so those will come up together (they're really unexciting, anyways), from tht point onwards I can put up the stages individually, though.
anyways, good luck on your 120 fps runs! that's hot shit you're doing there. can't even begin to do some scenes at that speed.

No-vertical PCB Phantasm clear! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4SmkSbz7sA)
:flowerpower:
-
Hardest early scene was 4-5 for me, but it was really fun too. Mmh sounds like it's about the same experience, actually 6-7 was really scary too, and 8-6 I still haven't gotten because I crash into stuff. 9-4 was really crazy and fun too.
Seems some scenes will be too hard or take too much patience though so I'm not aiming for an all clear. Getting 9-6 would be nice, but I haven't even gotten to the last phase once in 600 photos so I'm not too hopeful.
I played some more now and got to 70 scenes clear, most recent were EX-6 (using the proxy #yolo #swag strat), 7-3 and 10-8 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25845)!!! Gotta go fast xDDDDD

Actually, I captured both Id and Super-Ego in the same run (and then proceeded to die twice to the first phase of Subterranean Rose, but still).
Thanks Wriggle for the idea of dodging a bit more at the bottom of the screen, it makes things easier.
SA Extra is so fun to play...it must be the first time I don't mind restarting a stage over and over :3
-
Yay! Finally completed SA's extra stage, with Reimu A. Replay. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25863)
-
Yeah, EoSD Extra clear! With captures of every card except for "Catadioptric," "And Then Will There Be None?" and Q.E.D. to boot!
Granted, I did use the "focus-only" hitbox patch (because the one with the retexture patch sucks). Does that count as cheating?
-

Imo it doesn't, as most of EoSD's patterns aren't too dense as it was supposed to be played with a visible hitbox, though it does help with the thing of the hitbox not making sense, and not aligning with your char. Still, it doesn't make much difference to me, and I prefer playing w/o it as the .dll is kinda buggy and causes crash in fullscreen if the game is minimized and you try to back in, and you never know when a window decides to pop out of nowhere. :V
(My 2MNBNF Extra was done without any kind of visible hitbox. BV)
-
Let's remember that the "hitbox" is there no matter what you do (I hope). Those patches just make an indicator. BV
And personally, I view it as cheating, seeing as you're directly modifying the game to make it easier. Nobody really cares though, unless maybe you're submitting high scores with it.
-
Yeah, I forgot to use "visible hitbox" instead of just "hitbox". :V Just fixed that.
-
Yes, having no hitbox would definitely be cheating, since there'd be no way to die. Not sure if it'd score well in the more graze-heavy games though.
Also since I'm making a post here might as well include my SoEW Lunatic 1cc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8wNutll0Qs), even though I didn't really consider it worth posting (could have gotten it before most of my other Lunatic 1ccs if I'd cared to, after the first stage or two it's mostly just spamming bombs at everything dangerous anyway).
-
SA Extra clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25881)
After around 90 attempts that reached midboss, and 45 Koishi.
Nothing special, captured Sanae's first, Ancestors, Parano?a, Super-Ego, Polygraph.
Blew half of my resources at Genetics, and the other half at the survival (with literal bombspam during the last 30 seconds) :V
Also, this stage is awesome.
Only Mamizou left and I'll be done with all the Extra stages.
-
I decided to play MSD stage 5 on revelation mode with max everything except hyper rank, and made it to the TLB's second phases second pattern. :o
But that's not the accomplishment, the accomplishment is the score.
(http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y538/Bang_Jan/Score_zps3eebf3b9.png)
Don't you think that's a bit overkill for one stage?
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I used auto bombs.
-
Granted, I did use the "focus-only" hitbox patch (because the one with the retexture patch sucks). Does that count as cheating?
Unless you are playing for high-scores, as Zil also mentioned, you just do what you want. I've tried playing with and without the hitbox patch and I see no considerable differences in performance except for when squeezing through tiny gaps. I don't view it as cheating (because I don't play it competitively) but rather a little thing to help counter-balance the massive overload of rubbish that the game in my opinion likes to throw at you like hitboxes inconsistent with the rest of the series (like wtf?) so what I really mean to say with this is that if you like playing with a visible hitbox and aren't doing serious score-play, just keep playing like that.
PS: Invisible hitbox is pretty dumb too. When they shower the player with this many bullets as a bullethell game does it's only reasonable to have your one weak-spot actually be visible.
-
Zengeku: not even all tiny gaps, just ones where vertical positioning is crucial. And still probably only when switching between characters. At least from my experience (I use the invisible hitbox patch on everything except in PoFV when I might face Medicine [pvp and some scorerunning]).
I think invisible hitboxes are fine as long as you get to see them at some point, such as in the opening tutorial or in the first few seconds of each stage. But even if the game doesn't give you that, undersized bullet hitboxes are a far bigger issue. It's easy enough to learn a character hitbox after a couple of hours, but overlapping bullets obscure gaps, turning what should be a dodging challenge into a visual one (and that's after you've spent several, even dozens of hours to fully learn them all). Touhou, Cave, and probably all other bullet-hell shmups sacrifice function for form. It's sickening.
Sure, it's fine to complain about character hitboxes, but it's such a small thing and the larger hitbox issue always seems to be overlooked. It bugs me.
Anyway. Something isn't cheating if it's only for personal satisfaction; "cheating yourself" is a misnomer. And the benefit of having a visible character hitbox is so slight that you shouldn't feel the need to qualify your accomplishment. So, like others have said: if you like visibile hitboxes in EoSD, go for it. Personally, I don't see how you could, as Touhou hitboxes are fugly, but whatever flies your ship, man.
-

EoSD does have a lot of bullshit compared to the other games. No visible hitbox despite bullet density being as bad as the games after it? Inconsistent bullet hitboxes? Input lag that screws up timing all over the damn place? Yeah, that's why I play with visible "focus only" hitbox (because just overlaying the hitbox image on the character sprite is a stupid way of implementing a visible hitbox) and the VSync Patch, so that I can eliminate at least some of the fake difficulty. It doesn't actually affect my skill level too much, it just means I can actually play the game like it was one of the later ones.
As well, I don't do score runs, so I'm not worried about it. I might attempt challenge runs some day, but score runs are a no-go for me.

I agree with most of the stuff in here. It's annoying when bullet hell games expects you to squeeze through gaps that you can't even see because the sprites are so large that they overlap each other but for me it's sorta just something you learn to deal with. As long as the shmups keep their hitboxes consistent. If I see one bullet with one hitbox I'll eventually get used to it but then I'll also expect bullets sharing the same sprite in later installments to have the same hitboxes.

I don't mean to break the line, but I've gotten a few things done lately.
I don't have a replay for everything because I haven't uploaded in a while for various reasons such as the fact that I can barely connect to the internet nowadays and I usually spend the time I DO have internet talking to my friends or doing schoolwork.
There's also the fact that I've been doing a lot of system restoring as of late because fuck Windows 7's updates as of late, so some files may no longer exist.
I also have the fact that gensokyo.org was down and I didn't know when it would come back on, because I'm not on here as often as I was a year ago.
So, here's what I can remember.
Embodiment of Scarlet Devil
Nothing, I keep trying for a Lunatic 1cc but I believe that wall's going to persist through the New Year.
Perfect Cherry Blossom
I believe I didn't tell anyone about the Lunatic 1cc with ReimuB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24909). I plan to do this with SakuyaB and both Marisa shot types eventually when I feel like doing so.
Imperishable Night
Nothing that I can remember, for some reason I can't even get to Stage 6B anymore on Lunatic.
Mountain of Faith
I got sick of the Extra stage long ago, I'll go back to it when I have the patience to do so.
Subterranean Animism
Storm on Mt. Ooe timeout with Reimu, Lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25886)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I'm a total waste at this game. Come back when my hands can tell the difference between a trading card and a sheet of copy paper. All kidding aside, nothing of importance has been had.
Ten Desires
Nothing here.
So anyway I haven't gotten MUCH done, now that I really look at it. It was still nice to note what I hadn't before.

the scenes in question are 10-6 (BAHAHAHA. BUBBLE DODGING AND 150% SPEED. AWESOME :V well, it isn't, yet it's fun enough, uh...)
10-8 (I don't even...2nd phase kills me way too often),
Ex-4 (blergh, BoWaP at super speed. SURE IS FUN :V) and
Ex-6 (I just can't fucking deal with it. I NEVER got the timing down that's oh so apparent)
so yeah, look forward to me finishing this. seeing how I haven't uploaded anything yet, I might as well dump all the scenes in one video. makes it easier to choose the music, too...I suppose.

As for me, I got a 1DNB ReimuA Satori with the death on DBDB. I'm satisfied with that as DBDB is simply beyond my capabilities right now. I got an overall 2DNB Stage 4, because I forgot to restream the very last wave of the green bullets. Oh well.
Also scored another capture of Cat's Erratic Step, but the rest of the stage was crap so :V.
And for MoF, scored my second PWG capture and my second and third Storm Day captures, so I'm fairly proud of that. Also 2 1DNB Sanae's back to back, with deaths to Guest Stars in the first and Moses Miracle in the second. Sigh. I wish I could just combine those two to make a perfect Sanae haha.
Actually now that I look at it, that was a pretty productive night. I'm fairly proud of myself.

alright people, here it is. I cleared the last 4 scenes today and man, 10-6 was a pain in the ass. everything else went "quickly" (aka less than 500 shots). BoWaP came pretty close to 500, though. for some reason, the same tapping rhythm I used all the times EX-6 killed me, worked today, so I suppose we can chalk that one up to sheer luck of some sorts. anyway, here's the video. Excluding stage 4 because...just read the video description. I'll upload it right after this, anyway.

I don't know how it happened, but on a random UFO LNB Stage 4 run, I managed to time out both Sinkable Vortex and Ghost Anchors (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25906). Not as hard as I thought it would be. The rest of the replay is crap, but whatever haha.

Major congrats for clearing all StB scenes at 90FPS! Good luck trying to play stuff at 60fps now!

Hadn't played since december 2010. Never 1cc'd a game on lunatic.
Today I spent about 6 hours practicing MoF's stages on Lunatic..
I captured most of the spellcards from stage 1 to stage 5, most of them for the first time, many of them more than once.
The ones I didn't were:
Stage 2 Bad Luck Sign "Biorhythm of the Apotropaic God",
Stage 3 Water Sign "Kappa's Great Illusionary Waterfall"
Stage 4 "Peerless Wind God" and Cork Sign "Terukuni Throughout the World"
Stage 5 "Wonder "Night with Overly Bright Guest Stars"
Also I've captured for the first time a Kanako spellcard that wasn't the first. It was Divine Husk "Divining Crop"... All you have to do is pay attention to the blue bullets..
I have to say I didn't expect any of this to happen hehe.

Congratulations on all of your 90 FPS shenanigans people. The silliness of this board will never end. I guess the thread name suits the contents pretty well. Sakurei, you know... it's time to do DS.
EDIT:
Actually, I feel somewhat inspired on trying to 90FPS DS. I don't like StB that much compared to DS so...
Why? Because DS has infinitely better characters why the fuck else?
-
Yeah we get it, you like MoF and onwards more than the earlier Windows games, no need to talk about it every other post :/
-
That statement has nothing to do with the games in any way. It's just that Kogasa and Shou, my two favorite characters are present in DS and not in StB. That's really all.
Anyway, I decided to work on DS 90 FPS and I have now made it through the first four levels without too much difficulty and I'm not at Level 5 where Electrified Nyuudou is being unspeakably annoying. :V
But sooner or later I'll be lucky enough that no dense clusters of lasers is being fired in my direction since reacting properly to something like that is completely out of the question when dealing with three unfamiliar movement speeds that I need to switch between. Excuse? Maybe but it's messing me up. It even made reacting properly to Japanese Foliage Spider a bit hard. But hey, it matches it's annoying factor with the satisfaction when you win so it's worth it.
EDIT: Okay I got it. Level 5 is now down. For those who might be interested, some stats:
Electrified Nyuudou: 274 shots
Shirikodama: 55
Momiji's final scene: 62
Murasa's non-spell: 72
Murasa's final spell: 112
I dunno how the shot count got so high on Murasa's final attack since it didn't feel like that long time but ehh... what can I do. Why am I posting stats? Well because it seems I've taken a fancy to humiliating myself by posting crappy statistics about myself. ;)
EDIT: Okay, Level 6 down. Mostly not too bad but Adamant Helix sucks Yuugi's tits. I don't know what ZUN thought when he made it. Usually not that hard to pass but became really annoying when you have to move unfocused around her at 90FPS since that final circling is something that is annoying at even 60FPS. On to Shou after break time.
-
Silly zengeku, what did you think I was planning to do next? after recording the first three stages, which are already done, I planned to continue. that would happen today :V After figuring out how to stop fraps being a dick by putting the game down to 60 fps every fucking time.
thanks for the congratulations! please wait patiently for DS. that one will probably take longer. especially since I'll leave for home on thursday, so I cannot play anything after UFO until I get back (due to the data being in a completely different place and shit. I will still fool around in earlier games, though. hooray for massive mp3-player :V)
and BT: major congratz for clearing marisa at 90 fps. I know how much work it took you. or at least can guess

Wild Deserted Island timeout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25915). Took just 2 attempts, somehow. Probably the funnest spellcard out of Mamizou's boring shit.
-
If Mamizou is boring, then so are you. How rude.
Edit: Congratulations, though!
-
Sakurei, I just wanted to make sure you got onto another retarded and silly challenge. Speaking of said challenge, I made it through Stage 7. Shou's first and final attack were pain incarnate. Especially 7-7, holy fuck.
-
If Mamizou is boring, then so are you. How rude.
Edit: Congratulations, though!
Haha thanks. Don't take it personally. :3
-
Haha thanks. Don't take it personally. :3
Do not fear, with cute enough an avatar you could burn an orphanage and I wouldn't shrug.
Saying bad things about Mamizou is still bad, though, she's given me Wild Carpet, after all!

well, I can only continue if I find a way to stop the fps drop. or else you will se 90 fps replays with 60 fps speed. and that's stupid. I already tried recording at 120, so it would drop to 90, but it just skips 90 and falls down to regular speed.
has anyone else ever had this happen? fraps is a cunt. that's all I have to say about this.

I can't use Fraps here to record smoothly at 60fps because my laptop's HD is too slow and the recording would slow everything down. Though I got better results with Dxtory. You can also try Bandicam, which gave me much better results than Hypercam to non-3D-accelerated things, though I haven't tried it for Touhou yet.
-
I don't have the money for bandicam which costs 40 bucks. my paypal only has 20 left and..uhh...due to me moving into a whole other country, I can't change my account for it.
fuck paypal :V
also, the thing is it worked for StB (most of the time, anyway), so I am not sure if that's really it. Of course, you could be right, regardless.
-

Not doing something only because you can't record it is stupid too. :V
If you can't record it, you might be able to get someone else to do it.
-
I was able to record at 120 FPS using the recording method outlined here (http://forum.speeddemosarchive.com/post/soon_to_be_firsttime_pc_runner._is_camtasia_studio_7_allowed_27.html), though I record using raw capture, resulting in 60 GB files for a half hour recording. But hey, that's what compression is for.
-
I was thinkiing of asking someone to record for me, but I didn't know whom.
it's probably the best solution, though. now, is someone willing to record the DS replays for me? stage 1 and 2 somehow worked, but after that...uhh...yeah. I'd zip each stage and upload them on mediafire. you'd get them all in one go, though. it'd be silly to send each stage individually. so whoever feels like doing it hands up :V I'd be very grateful.
@IHNN that seems awfully complicated. it's worth a try, but I promise nothing, considering I have vista 64-bit. and the thread says he doesn#t know if it works with that
also, my StB video was over 60 GB, too. fraps recording are humungous, after all. plus virtual dub makes them ever larger after appending.
-
It's not actually as complicated as it seems, the lagarith codec is completely optional and you can just use raw video.
SCFH DSF is used to select the program for capturing, and virtualdub, seeing as you already have it, is just a matter of setting capture dimensions/framerate and setting its source to SCFH.

<3 thanks you two. I'll take you up on the offer, because something seems off with IHNN's method for me. maybe I'm just stupid, who knows. I'll start working on the game immediately, then. if you don't mind, I'd share the work between the two of you. I.e one one records stage 3-8 and the other one records 9-spoiler.
of course, it's up to you how much you're willing to do. you do NOT need to edit anything. as long as I don't have to download a 60 GB video file, everything is okay (so if you know the file's that big from recording, maybe split it. most softwares allow you to. or compress it, if you can). I'll do the everything past te recording. really, thanks! I appreciate it big time.

SFN Youmu No focus Timeout
Thanks Seppo for proving that it is humanly possible!! You were batshit crazy for trying that :V
575 attempts.
-
Badass. Very low attempt count too. Congrats.
-
alright, I am now more than halfway through the game and cleared every scene up to 8-6 in DS.
8-1 was the hardest until now followed by 7-1. everything else was fairly easy. I am dreading stage 9, though :V and catwalk. god knows I am terrible at it.
congratulations to that no focus timeout. I'd never evn try that :V I would never try anything no focus, to be precise. kudos to you.
I'd be willing to do plenty. Just let me know how you'd prefer for things to be done. :)
! thanks. Then once I finished up stage 8 (tomorrow or something, I presume. the last 3 scenes should fall "quickly" I'll send you a mediafire link. which means you'll also be the first to see everything :V almost takes away the need to watch the video in the end. haha.
and as I said, you basically only need to do the recording. I don't know how you want to sent the video file back, but you can do that however you like. I am very open with that. and unless the videos (you will need to do more than one due to me sending you over 40 replays, so you can't just dumb them all in the DS replay folder) are several GB big, you also don't need to compress them.
I also suggest backing up your own replays if you want to keep them. mine still have the default name "th125_xx.rpy". also another reason why you will need to do more than one video; some replays have the same nam, even though it's another scene.
-
Congrats on SFN timeout, JC, that's crazy !
I played some PCB these last days, and got Hard 1cc's with all (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25882) remaining (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25927) characters (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25928).
Featuring a capture of Resurrection Butterfly (MarisaA) and a first-ever-on-any-difficulty capture of Yuyuko's third spell (the one with homing curving lasers) with ReimuA.
I'll probably do IN with Scarlet Team next, so it will be 4/4 in this game too...
...and maybe one day, put some actual effort into Lunatic mode. :derp:
-
8-1 was the hardest until now followed by 7-1. everything else was fairly easy. I am dreading stage 9, though :V and catwalk. god knows I am terrible at it.
How many shots did you spend on 8-1? That was the one that made me stop. Couldn't handle red phase.
-
it's difficult to give an exact number, because my count was already way above my first clear count with aya (I spent around 100 useless shots with hatate, too). but a lot. my best estimation is that I started with like 700 pictures in, now it's above 1200, so over 500. with that count it's on the same difficulty as BoWaP, basically, which is a ridiculous upgrade considering how simple the normal-speed version is.. but no other scene even comes close. 7-1 took me maybe 150-200.
but yeah, the red phase was stupid. I gave up on actively dodging it and went for good positioning. it worked better but requires a lot of reading ahead. I was also being a pussy and took the last photo by zooming in :V the main reason I used aya, too.
-
Yeah, that red phase... ehh. That was pretty much the reason i stopped. Just kept getting to it and then died instantaneously.
EDIT: Also, how did you find 7-7? 7-1 was definitely the hardest in level 7 but 7-7 kept me tied up for quite a while too. At least until I realized a better way to handle it.
-
Speaking of Double Spoiler, 3-4, finally done! 184 pictures of bullets to the face later, and I've done it. Now I can say Level 3 is done with Aya.
-
7-7 was easy. I did it in under 30 pictures
but I think I have to mention that I am always using whoever I think it's easier with, so I used hatate on that one. fast re-charge definitely helps A LOT.
what I basically did with it was shot a photo at the beginning of a wave and then go to lower left corner area. stream upwards to avoid the clockwise lasers. the counter clockwise ones were...well, I used focused speed to stay inbetween them whine streaming my way upwards. it's a really simple strategy, but effective on this card.
-
EDIT: Fuck that was a hideous post. I have already punched myself for posting it.
Take 2:
30 attempts? My gods, you are insane at this. As for myself, I got very close to capturing 8-1 but RNG made the dumb cat stick to the extreme corners of the screen keeping her well out of my reach. Sucks. I even survived for long enough to take two pictures but alas, she was out of reach. Now I'm definitely going to stop this so that I don't go posting more stupid bullshit like the previous version of this post.
Looking forward to following your progress Saku.
Oh and I also managed to get a timeout of the Prismrivers ReimuB's 2nd non-spell as a part of some Stage 4 pacifism challenge. It isn't exactly hard but I do miss just once on it most of the time. :( Now I'm only lacking one spell and that's their final... and oh gods it's giving me trouble. Best of luck to me I guess.
-
the stuff with orin being a cunt with her movement happened to me, too. I was on the last picture once when she decided it would be cool to stay in the upper right corner while I was dodging somewhere mid-left low. when I tried taking a picture, she was just outside of my reach and I died like immediately after that. only took me 300 more pictures to reach that point again :V
yeah, 30 pictures is like 6, maybe 7 attempts. I did surprise myself there. just like I did with the catwalk, which I did on the first try somehow :V I finished up stage 8 and done scenes 9-1 till 9-4 (9-4 is still a terrible card. stupid DNA shit - got lucky in the end on my winning run - took like 10 tries only, though). 9-1 wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be, but what I am really dreading right now is 9-7. I am still not sure if I should do it with ay for the zoom or with hatate for the quick recharge. I am pending for aya, though. I had one hell of a bullshit dodge on 8-3, by the way. I laughed my ass off during the remainder of that playing session. that was so arbitrary and I did that prepared to die.
I suppose doing that isn't for everyone. I don't like pacifist to make up for it, I suppose. lol
and yeah, I'm trying my best to do an all-clear again. I don't want to leave out single scenes, so as I progress, my...progress is going to be slower, I suppose. other things I am REALLY scared of right now are 10-8, 11-4 (so much unfocused movement ;_;), 11-2, 12-7, 12-8, EX-5 (oh god that is going to be atrocious) and EX-8. marisa's going to be a cunt, I already know it. there are probably more I am forgetting. (pretty sure 12-4 is going to be hell too.)
oh LET'S NOT FORGET SPOILER-1 AND SPOILER-5 :V lol.
suwako's iron rings are probably tough, but I already know I'll love it. the DS is so badass. definitely one of my favorites in the game.
-
Sure, we all have our preferences. Just keep it at 60FPS and I'm game. :V - And good job with your fast progress. You should totally go kick Shou's ass when you are done with this. She would like that quite a lot I'm told.

This is a 1cc run of danmakufu script Alternative Age on Hard mode done by one of my good irl friends. It's pretty decent and there are no other vids of the game as far as I'm aware so I decided to host it on my channel. Go watch it, it's a stupid game and it's got horrendous artwork so it should probably be funny to watch. I've done my best to comment on the gameplay but it's hard to write up something decent for something you haven't done yourself so excuse me when it inevitably sucks. :3

575 attempts.
Good grief, congratulations! That's awfully fast, in more than one way.
Edit: Alright, just to emphasize what I said about Mamizou yesterday - her Spellcards aren't boring! Finally finished this today, even though it didn't really serve any higher purpose, except for having fun and trying to see how much I can improve my capture rate.
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ByZaI_5NFiw/UNGAU0WQQYI/AAAAAAAAALA/ooXTuvTgt98/s640/th13%25202012-12-19%252009-27-29-86.jpg)
51.62% capture rate at the time of #1000, quite an improvement considering the attempts I spent learning the Spellcard and going for a Time Out are also included. After the Time Out, I wanted to see how far I can improve my capture rate, at around 500 I thought it would be cool to find out if the "MASTER" gets a rank up at 1000 - it doesn't, just in case anyone has been dying to know.
I think I did the last 500 captures in the past five or four days and I still love this Spellcard - at this rate, I'll definitely get old before the Spellcard does. Still, I won't try too hard to push my capture rate after this point, 1000 was a fun goal and I'm glad I got past 50% before it (around 930 I think), but I don't want to actually wind up ruining the Spellcard. What's more, things will only get slower, 90% upwards would be cool, but I think I'd be in the ten thousands before that happens. Occasionally, I do get streaks of upwards of 10 captures in a row (best I bothered to count was 14, but the actual best was somewhere around 20 if I recall correctly), but constantly? Doesn't sound overly feasible.
Nonetheless, the past few days certainly helped the fingers in charge of the directional keys improve their performance, think they could join a Russian ballet.
Well, enough fun grinding here, got enough grinding going on in other games.

Almost 2000 plays of Wild Carpet? That explains why you don't think Mamizou is boring. You must've forgotten what the rest of her stuff is like. :V

No. First of all, I totally expect you to do it on Lunatic. Second of all, I totally expect you to do it on 90FPS.
-
No. First of all, I totally expect you to do it on Ultra Lunatic. Second of all, I totally expect you to do it on 180FPS.
Fixed :V
-
but I did that on 90 fps.
though, I don't think I'll manage a NMNBNUFO stage 5 on lunatic at 90 fps. I can go and try it at normal speed, though. I think that's possible as I am now/after DS. but I suppose doing a few runs for the heck of it is within what I would do.
@bangjan I am pretty sure it's close to impossible to do a NMNB on 180 fps, or ultra. much less both of them combined. humanly, what zengeku said is...doable. just not within my reach.
-

Preposterous! For fun purposes, I really like her Spellcards, they're kind of laid back in their nature, that's what I love the most about them at least.
-
Mmmh, Mamizou has very nice spell cards, congratulations on the >50% consistency @ 1000 captures, it's a rather cool thing. And the other nice things you guys are doing, keep at it!
I brought the 12-4 speedrun in DS over the 173.xx threshold and improved 12-2 even further. Oh, then I did 2-1 in StB at 240fps for fun. It was really fun too! Crazy even!
-
humanly, what zengeku said is...doable. just not within my reach.
It's definitely going to require luck. Think Shou lasers. The 7-1 Shou lasers in DS became pretty fast at 90 FPS. On 60 FPS, they are rather slow though. The UFO Shou lasers are fast at 60 FPS... they are going to be a complete crapshoot at 90 FPS. You'll have basically no time to react when lasers are coming in from both sides with bullets coming at you as well.
If you are thinking of going for 60 FPS Shou you might want to just concentrate on the boss. The stage is really an unholy pain in the ass... well mostly that shitty orb spam at the end. But if you're going to go for full stage NMNBNV then good luck. I've only managed a few 1MNB's my self. Mostly 2MNB because either Shou is being mean or Stage is being mean. And these are ideal runs. There are a lot of crap runs too. So yeah... I suck. Maybe you'll be able to do better. Let's see about that. :V
-
Perfected Ichirin! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25933)
The final orb circling bit is still a pain though. If I could just figure that out, I would try for the full stage. I would do Murasa too, but that damn third non-spell is just nigh impossible for me :(.

I know this is getting inflatornary, but man. I finished up stage 11. now come 2 stages full of pain. 11-2 was the hardest thing is stage 11
10-8 was by far the hardest thing in stage 10 and on one level with 8-1 (it's funny how that's basically the hardest thing yet). I expected that much, though. so I was "prepared" for a lot of tries. it's funny how kanako was entirely a non-issue. suwako is by far superior in this game. 11-6 was as awesome as I expected and I am sure to play around with it more.
on the plus side, I also know of a way to record all my shit at 90 fps. it multiplies my workload by a quadrillion, though. =/ it also looks weird at some parts. eh, whatever works, I suppose.

Timed out Hourai Doll (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25944), after managing to die FOUR TIMES with the time marker at 00. :V :V :V

Extend!

(video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtzSDUreWbo))
So the 600 extend in Mystic Square is reachable without dying. That makes two extends I've reached that I'd previously thought impossible, the other being TD 20. Maybe I should go for PCB 1600 sometime.

Go for IN 9999. :V
(btw, does the 9999 extend actually work if you change your point item amount with Cheat Engine or something?)

Well folks, I just got my first IN Extra clear, and saw imperishable shooting to boot. Died before I could even get into it though >_>. Anyways, here's the replay: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25964 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25964)

Well folks, I just got my first IN Extra clear, and saw imperishable shooting to boot. Died before I could even get into it though >_>
Good job! Seeing Imperishable Shooting on your first clear is pretty cool, I still haven't even seen that card, actually. :V Every time I try, something always happens that makes me screw up on one or more easy cards. :derp: That's keeping me from unlocking some last words too, but I guess that's a story for another topic.
Grats, anyways!
quick go capture imperishable shooting too
-
Well, I have a pretty good record of figuring out mokou's cards, so I hope I can figure out IS as easily as I did Fujiyama. While I messsed up fuji in run, I got a consistent strat of my own making for.it after only 18 tries in spell practice.
-
Eegh, Fujiyama Volcano is her only card I'm still scared of after playing the extra so much. :ohdear: It was over 80 attempts for me and I couldn't figure that one out, then I asked for help and captured it on my 90th for the first time. Something about it just hits all my weak points, I'm not good at figuring out such a card.
The closest I've come to IS is needing one more capture, then failing simpler cards like Flying Phoenix, Xu Fu's, and Honest Man's Death for no good reasons. :( Soon, though!
-
both fujiyama and imperishable shooting are simple once you figured them out properly. imperishable shooting was like the 2nd last card I ever captured in all of IN, because I never thought about it. once I gave it some time, it was pretty simple. anf fujiyama is very intimidating, but you can basically clear it the same time, safe for a few dodges when she shoots her regular red bullets.
anyway, congratulations you all. first clear are good stuff.
also karisa, crazy stuff you're doing with the extends. I don't think I ever came past the 400 one in MS :V
expect nothing from me all week. being at home with crappeist keyboard ever doesn't turn me into a good palyer. plus I can only play like 3 games I put on my mp3player. lol
-
(btw, does the 9999 extend actually work if you change your point item amount with Cheat Engine or something?)
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25539 (boring Easy-mode replay that actually syncs for some reason) (edit: no wait, it's not necessarily boring, it's 2b or 2.1b-level play plus ridiculously high graze count and point item value, might be worth watching)
In short: Not only does the 9999 extend work, but after that comes 10499, 10999, 11499, and 11999. I'm guessing the requirement was every 500 after 1100 at some point in production (the same way PCB is every 200), but then that was removed, without actually removing the code for it.
In IN Extra, it instead goes 200, 600, 9999, 99999, the last of which crashes the game.
In PCB Extra/Phantasm, it's every 500 after 1300.
In TD, after 25 (displayed requirement when you reach 20) is 30, 35, 40, then the display glitches.

MoF Lunatic 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25967)
It's my very first lunatic 1cc and I am so freaking happy. I have this gigantic grin on my face and I can't wipe it off. To be uploaded to Youtube later.
:D :D :D
-
Yesterday, despite my earlier history of failures against that particular card, I managed (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXImzPmmhwo) to capture Mountain of Faith without focusing, which made me happy. Then I found out that the Easy version is actually more difficult, so here's a timeout (http://youtu.be/8Bj7utvD17s). With my fingers somewhat stiff from the cold, I consider this to be an achievement worth mentioning, even if I got lucky
in every single tight spot here and there.
-
congratulations, Chaotick. I expected it'd come soon. good job on this. the grin is to be expected and totally legit.
redlakitu, good job, I suppose. I never timed out any variations of this spell. I died to every single one of them, so there's something you did I couldn't do.
just throwing this in here: I often play so much that my fingers get cold from all the exposedness :V it doesn't bother me at all. but weirdly, when I play with cold figners from the starts, I can't move them for shit. like what the fuck?
-
Double Spoiler all scenes attempt #2: result was 2:31:xx, 5 minutes slower than last time.
Most shots for any scene was 58 on Kamane Funnel, Stage 12 fell in under 15 minutes.
9-7 took 36. EX-5 a mere 22.
So overall consistency is better but I didn't fluke as many first try captures (10-5...) so I got a slower time. I can see myself getting under 2 hours (and then ARF will get a 1:30)

Nice work! Give yourself a big pat on the back and relax for a bit. Then you should try UFO next! :D
-
Excellent, IN Normal Final A and B cleared with all teams and individual characters. Next is PoFV and I'll have all games completely cleared on Normal.
No Game Overs, even a NM run with solo Youmu (I think that's my first ever on Normal), but the very last Final B run with Yuyuko got really messy in Stage 6. Captured one of Kaguya's Spellcards, failed all of her Last Words, didn't even get to see the last one. Lower High Score than the Final A run, but whatever!
Anyway, congratulations on the MoF 1CC and the IN Extra clear!

Congrats! Try SA maybe? The bomb system is pretty similar, and SA is way more fun, plus graze autocollection. :3
Or you could try EoSD/PCB/IN... they're the easiest ones, though which one is the easiest is subjective.

I thought SA to be the second-hardest... but it may be good to get it out of the way. I'm sure it's more fun too...
Eh, I'm not sure. Anything but UFO will do.
I guess SA is as good a choice as any! But first I'll have to figure out some more technical youtube stuff.
I'm absolutely euphorious. There's this, and I just got these incredibly good grades, and everyone is content and I'm getting so many compliments everywhere. I'm going to fall into a rainbow-colored stupor any moment now.
You are all awesome. You're still awesome without congratulating me too.

Mokou is certainly one of the harder ones with her nonspells. Congrats!

Perfect stage 3 in an MoF no bomb lunatic attempt!
Unfortunately I crashed and burned on Stage 4, but whatever, I perfected Stage 5 in practice right after.
Congrats on the lunatic clear, and go for either PCB or IN, SA is very very difficult to 1cc and EoSD can be a bit of a pain.
-
Nah, EoSD is great. It teaches you to use resources wisely and that's never a bad lesson.

I was talking more about the bullet hitboxes.
-
I was talking more about the bullet hitboxes.
Aye, especially those knives, and the big round bullets. (not the huge eye-shaped ones, but those are at least somewhat bigger too) Those seem to have the biggest problem, imo anyways.
So many unnecessary deaths to Sakuya/Remi, because you really can't squeeze through those little holes that you'd think is easy. :ohdear: I swear sometimes I feel certain bullets are 100% hitbox.
On that EoSD note though, even though I fail so much at it :V Finally unlocked the extra stage a few days ago! Then Laevateinn comes and ruins my run. :V
Edit: Oh wait it was one or two cards after Laevateinn [/memoryfail] but still, whatever it was wasn't nice.
-
Hmmm...
IN it is then! I had been practicing some already before I got to MoF. If I can manage MoF then IN shouldn't be far around the corner.
-
IN is leagues easier tham MoF, I found. Shouldn't take you too long.
-
IN isn't bad. Just a lot of memorization. Be careful of Hourai Jewel though. That can eat through your resources if you aren't prepared.
-

Yeah that's probably why I suck at it. :V I got my third Lunatic 1cc in it, but found it much more difficulty than PCB and EoSD. But these 3 games fill your ass with resources. I find PCB easy because the patterns are somewhat dense but kinda slow and easily readable. EoSD's patterns are much less dense but they're often fast, plus you have to be careful about the hitboxes and you need good reflexes because the deathbomb time is too low. IN probably gives you the most resources out of these games, but the last spells fuck with your resources, and that's what I hate the most in it... it's just bullshitty, but otherwise I find its patterns even more dense than PCB, but even slower (especially Eirin and Reisen).
SA was actually the fourth game I 1cc'd on Lunatic, and I did it the first time I made it past Orin. She still killed me 3 times though. :V But Okuu is easy, I just needed 2 lives on her. ~1 week ago I did MoF, just for the sake of 1cc'ing it, because I don't even know how to dodge a lot of things I bombed, and even bombed Minoriko to save time. :V
I'm still missing UFO and TD, which I probably won't 1cc soon or ever do as I'm slowly retiring Touhou. Oh I think I finally just hit my 1 year anniversary of playing it ~1 week ago. :toot:
Anyway, good luck on your path to become a Lunatic player Chao. :3
-
Woah.
EoSD normal no-bombs (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25969), using MarisaA.
Awesome run by my standards, finished with 4 extra lives.
One miss at Forest Blaze (not kidding...).
One miss at Sakuya's last non and one at Marionette.
One miss at the last second of Red Magic, ruining an otherwise perfect stage 6.
This took a decent amount of tries (around 20 maybe, not counting stage practice), so I'm happy I finally got it. No-bombs really forces you to dodge way more stuff than usual, so it makes normal mode interesting again.
Not sure I'll go for other games under these conditions though, maybe PCB if I decide to learn stage 5...
Edit : got a no-bombs PCB normal 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25978) on the first try. I should try without intentional border breaks.
Also, grats Chaotick on the Lunatic 1cc, that's one hell of a step you've made here !
-
Got another NMNB of Shou. Stage had me die twice though so it's nothing new but it's certainly something special for me. Getting a NMNB on this tiger is one of the hardest things to do in a ZUN game for me.
This is still not good enough though. I'm still shit at her and I will probably forever be since no matter how much consistency i manage to build up on her attacks, the 2nd non-spell will always be the bane of my existence as it just like Greatest Treasure feels mostly like my brain just don't fucking gets it. So hard, what can I do to be less bad? I can't afford to lose this many resources to Stage 5 if I am ever going to have hopes of getting a NBNUFO run.
Oh and I also got a 2MNB Byakuren. Not too terrible. Good Omen and Superhuman. Superhuman one was very dumb, tried something stupid and got punished for it. Oh and Good Omen is another like cute source of hate.
-
...as I'm slowly retiring Touhou
why
-
why
Well, I barely find it fun anymore, and I don't feel motivated to work on clearing these two games and/or doing scoreruns/other challenges. My Touhou spirit kinda revived when I suddenly got motivated to play EoSD Extra to perfect Flandre, but once i achieved it, said spirit died again. Maybe I just need a long break. Or it was because I never liked shmups at all, but Touhou had some kind of magic that addicted me into it. :V But yeah, for now I think it's time to move on, but I won't stop loving Touhou. Just like I haven't stopped loving Pok?mon even after retiring it. :3
-
So I went ahead and finally unlocked Imperishable Shooting! Made my usual mistakes of messing up on simple cards, and I was worried I wouldn't capture enough of them by the end. :ohdear:
Ex Clear + Imperishable Shooting (https://www.dropbox.com/s/bpr8pls1ceyuca9/th8_Ex%2BIS.rpy)
I of course didn't capture it, since it was my first time... and I still haven't, but I'm figuring it out. :V Pretty happy about these recent captures/clears, I'm making some decent progress with IN!
Seeing IS also unlocked Phoenix Rebirth for me and I captured it (https://www.dropbox.com/s/rijnsq7p69iny7i/th8_PhoenixRebirth.rpy) pretty quickly. With a crazy dodge like this.gif (http://i1260.photobucket.com/albums/ii564/SirBlueberry96/Touhou/phoenix_rebirth_lol.gif) just because I was pretty sure that was possible :getdown: Image could use more frames to smooth it out/better quality but I didn't care, didn't want it to end up huge either lol
(you'll have to rename the replays of course if you DL them, I name them so I can easily keep track in my dropbox and so names don't conflict each other)
edit: fixed links, had the wrong replays uploaded :V
edit2: because it doesn't really need it's own post, just throwing this in here. Did some more Last Words. I know not EVERY capture is a notable accomplishment, but hey it can't hurt to add it in when I already posted right? :V

Finally got this after a few runs this morning. Shouldn't have taken as many tries as it did. Deaths to Cateo-whatever, two to And Then There Will Be None, and one to QED right at the last centimeter of health. If only I wasn't so bad at the survival...
I think I'll try no bombing the Extras instead of Lunatics for now. I don't think I'll ever do perfects of the Extras because trying to practice stuff like QED or ATTWBN just isn't fun for me, but no bombs should be fine. I'm dreading IN extra though. I'm terrible at Mokou :ohdear:
-
So after my week long break. I decided to do a run of SA on normal with Reimu B. Aaaaaaaand.
(http://imageshack.us/a/img33/5738/sanormalrbclear.png)
I even had spare lives. Should have had 3 spare lives...but I died at the very last second to Subterranean Sun. :derp:

At any rate, awesome! If you can get there with that amount of lives then you're not far from Hard either.

Technically 2nd overall on normal. 1st with ReimuB. Geez, Satori is so much easier than with ReimuA.

Earlier today:
(http://i.imgur.com/ItAAw.jpg)
Dem two extends.
Even earlier:
(http://i.imgur.com/F6CnU.jpg)
I captured Eternal Meek too. (which is a goddamn nightmare at max rank, which by the way only happens with a high enough score)
(http://i.imgur.com/k8LGt.jpg)
I also died twice to Scarlet Gensokyo on that run.
(http://i.imgur.com/MlaRH.jpg)
My third time perfecting everything but Scarlet Gensokyo.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that 100M + [whatever Gensokyo's spellcard bonus is] is in reach.
-
I guess what I'm trying to say is that 100M + [whatever Gensokyo's spellcard bonus is] is in reach.
Scarlet Gensokyo bonus is around 5M I think.
Anyhow, correct me if I'm wrong, but 100M+ would probably require safespotting eternal meek and
either bombing scarlet gensokyo for star points or suicide graze some of the spells. Imo perfecting the stage wouldn't cut it.
Interesting thing is that I got to 84M capturing only 2 spells :derp:
I only ever did that once though.
-
Oh, I'm not using any scoring method, just randomly bombing the stage (usually the last wave of fairies) and capturing spellcards.
I lost two lives so the bonus would be (9M+9M)*1.5, which puts that score at 78M+27M = 105M. The death gave me three bombs so -(3M+3M)*1.5 = -9M. If I don't waste two bombs on the spam (apparently you're better off getting the clear bonus, though I could be wrong) 100M should be possible.
This is assuming I understand the mechanics.
-
Make sure to maximize the number of bullets on screen when finishing off patterns. Canceled bullets are often worth more than the spell bonuses in EoSD, especially with Remilia's bullet density, and the 1000+ graze from Eternal Meek that you don't seem to have (make sure to wait until the timer is at 0 before you finish it off, and you are using the safespot right?)
Also the leftover lives are worth 4.5m each (3m*1.5), so finishing with 2 more lives gives you 9m extra, not 27m.
-
It says player = 9M.
Again, I'm not safespotting anything, I'm playing regularly. My intent is not to score, but I am trying to get a high score for the heck of it.
-
Yes, because you finished with 3 lives. 3 lives * 3 million per life = 9 million bonus for leftover lives. If you'd finished with 4 lives it would say 12 million there.
-
Captured Gathering Void White.
I don't know how either.
-
Beat Mokou for the first time EVER just now also making that my first ever Extra Stage Clear of any of the games!!

If you're happy with it, and you feel it's worth posting here, then it is certainly an accomplishment for you at least, even if it's something simple for others.
Especially if it is something difficult for you and/or it's your first time. An "accomplishment" can be as simple or big as you want it to be for yourself. There isn't any real [GlobalAccomplishmentRule™]
All that said, good job! Keep it up because you can only improve from here.
Edit: Forgot to ask. Which difficulty are you playing on?

Did a few runs and got MoF Extra no bombs (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26004) on my first try despite dying to stupid stuff like Kanako's non-spell and whatnot. I technically bombed on Suwako's first card, but honestly it's simple enough that I would just laugh if someone said I didn't actually "no bomb" the stage because I accidentally bombed Suwako's easiest spell card because I forgot to move to the sides on the first wave :derp:
Also got SA Extra no bombs (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26000) on my second try after getting to Koishi because I died to the last phase of Subterranean Rose on my first run since I forgot what its gimmick was.
Anyway that's EoSD, PCB (Extra and Phantasm), MoF, and SA done. IN, UFO, and TD left. And I guess I'll make some attempts at GFW, but I get the feeling that Marisa is going to wreck me so hard.
Beat Mokou for the first time EVER just now also making that my first ever Extra Stage Clear of any of the games!!
Very nice! If you can do Mokou, then you can probably do MoF and PCB. They give you tons of resources.

Hey congrats! As you're beginning, any progress is awesome, so keep it up! I'm fairly certain the rest of us were just as elated when we made small progress during our first shmups too.
-
marisa isn't tough to do no bomb. the stage potion is harder. but since you allow deaths, she should fall quickly.
and yes, that'S what we're going to say, you didn't do a NB of MoF extra, even if you bombed her "easiest" spell. it's like me saying I did a NMNB of marisa because I died to something easy in the video I uploaded. not following your restrictions means you failed what you were aiming for. I don't mean it in a hostile manner, but bombing in a no bomb run, no matter how trivial the spellcard/stage section/non is, if you bomb, that's it for your restriction. next time eat the death, instead of destroying the run.
actually, I think you could go for NMNB on the easier extras (suwako, flandre, ran and koishi at least). though, I suppose that's still not for everybody.
anyway, congratz nonetheless on koishi. and also congratulations to everyone else. progress, no matter how small, is still progress. I mean, I was overjoyed when I beat 10-8 or 8-1 or 12-4 (it wasn't really that bad, but the last photo was mostly luckdodging) on 90 fps, anyway.
-
Oh, so when I do MoF no bombs lunatic I can bomb through the first 2 stages because they're trivial and I can reset until I perfect them both?
Or I can do a perfect run of Orin by capturing her last 3 patterns and failing everything else because "everything else is trivial".
Wait no that sounds stupid, a restriction is a restriction and if you defy the restriction you fail. Though for no vertical suiciding after accidentally bumping up/down is fine IMO since that's a hard restriction to stick to. No bombs is no bombs though, you pressed X, so you bombed, so it's not a no bombs extra.
-
you didn't actually no bomb the stage because you accidentally bombed suwako's easiest spell card because you forgot to move to the sides on the first wave
Good job on those. I've never attempted a no bomb extra run (mostly cause I never felt like it) but now I recall trying to unlock Imperishable Shooting even though that happened like yesterday and I didn't/couldn't allow myself to bomb anything unless I already failed it. Which is "almost" a no bomb run. Perhaps I should try?
And I guess I'll make some attempts at GFW
oh man GFW, as fun as this one is I fail terribly at it :V Best I can do is perfect easy up to the final boss then finish it with zero lives, or just fail completely at normal mode lol. Can't even unlock extra myself, but good luck with that if you do try!
@MoteofDust:
I'd say you're making good progress then. I honestly don't remember when I first started out, it was so long ago, but normal mode Meiling in five days sounds good for someone new to the games. As you get the hang of things, you'll notice yourself making more progress and faster than before. But yeah, keep it up and have fun!

I dunno about this, given that we are talking about arbitrary things like personal challenges I don't really think it makes any sense to say that he failed what he was aiming for. No-bombs is of course no-bombs but if he decides that accidentally bombing a complete joke of a spellcard make his run any less awesome then that's his decision. So while not a no-bombs run by definition it what I'd call a pseudo-no bombs run because he managed to get through the entire boss without using bombs on anything that could potentionally kill. I've done the same in the past with a Stage 5 SA run that I labelled pseudo-perfect because the two bombs were used on sections that doesn't pose any challenge at all and mainly just because I couldn't be bothered to reset such a boring stage just to prove that I can capture something you could train a monkey to do if you're good.
But that's just my opinion, it's true that it isn't a TRUE no-bombs run he did but no point in making these statements guys. His accomplishment is valid enough for what it is, if you seriously think it would have been a better run if he had successfully moved casually back and forth for 20 seconds then sure but I don't understand you.

But he didn't. He messed up the pattern, would have probably died, and bombed. Every bullet is equally deadly, and a bomb was used, so it's not a no bomb run. This is a black and white thing, either you bomb or you don't, he did, it's not a no bombs run, nothing more to say.
Besides, if it's that easy, you just do it again without messing it up :V
Not saying an xD1B run of an extra stage is bad, just saying you shouldn't go around calling a 1 bomb run a no bomb run.
Just beat Suwako again no focus, had 2 lives to spare at the end and a really insane capture of Red Frog. Dodged about half of Froggy braves the Elements despite being at 0 power, misread Mishaguji-sama and died early on though.
-
as far as I understood it his goal was a NB run. he didn't do that, so he failed to meet his goal. that's what I meant. if his goal was a xD1B run, sure, that's fine.
it may look like degrading an achievement and some sort of dickmove (which both of those aren't my intention or what I am trying to get at), but I don't like the idea of calling something it isn't. my marisa example is a good example for that. it's not a perfect run and I will never claim it to be, no matter how stupid the death was. it happened and I have to take it. additionally, considering he was on suwako's first spellcard, it means he could have resetted the stage without having to do something difficult again. I mean, the hardest thing before that are the kedama before kanako, and if dealt with correctly, that's a non-issue, too.
and as IHNN, a xD1b of an extra is generally a good run, but it's definitely not a no bomb one. I don't know how many lives he had left, but I can't imagine tsym getting hit against this extra 5 times, in which case the bomb saved the run. but yeah, I think that he'd have had a successful NB had he eaten the death like a man.
personally, I'd have restarted after the kanako death :V
as for the potentially kill thing: my record on it is something like 70/90, so it killed me before :V and as a matter of fact, suwako's weird lasers have some of the strangest hitboxes I have ever seen.
-
This is a black and white thing, either you bomb or you don't, he did, it's not a no bombs run, nothing more to say.
Definitely but I just found your posts to essentially tell him to go back and do it again because that bomb means he failed at what he was trying to do. I cannot disagree with facts obviously so it's not a no-bombs run but my point is that it's pretty much just as good as one and given that these personal challenges are just what they are, little things we do for fun, if Tsym thinks that this run is good enough to move on to something else then that's fine.
It's not like Tsym thinks that his run is still a no-bombs run after bombing but I'm willing to bet that his intent was that the bomb was so meaningless that it would be pointless to waste time by restarting over. Yet you guys proceed to apparently explain to him what no-bombs means and that just seem really superfluous and silly to me but then again, it's 4:30am and i'm seeing ghosts so i should probably just stop posting now. :V
as for the potentially kill thing: my record on it is something like 70/90, so it killed me before :V and as a matter of fact, suwako's weird lasers have some of the strangest hitboxes I have ever seen.
You are weird. :V
-
meanlingless in this case is incredibly subjective. it probably saved him a life. and while it probably posed no threat to the run itself, it still saved him said life. a bomb that saves your other resources can hardly be called meanlingless from the view of survival.
considering it's almost 5.00 am, I should probably stop posting, too :V the way you say it with "it's so trivial, there's no need to waste more time on that" seems a lot more logical than what I was saying or thinking regarding this :V it's true. seeing how a screw up on kanako's non is unlikely to happen more than once every 1000 attempts, as well as for the 1st spell, he could choose to do it at any given time, but decides to not use up another 15 minutes of his life for that. yeah, that makes sense.
I never intended to tell him what a no bomb run was. that's silly and every player already knows that, regardless. it's just that he explicitly said it still counts as an actual NB for him (he also marked the replay as a NB on gensokyo.org) so there's that. I don't and never intended to lecture anyone here on termonology; a word I probably spelled wrong, too.
yeah, I am pretty damn weird, but forgive me, it was when I was still struggling with normal difficulty :V I haven't died to it under normal circumstances for a couple years now :'D lol and seeing how the actual morning comes closer and closer, I should probably stop posting and go to sleep. lol

Had some more free time, got the UFO Extra NBNUFO (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26010) in 2 tries after dying one too many times the first time.
Haha I did chuckle a bit at the "bombs" argument. I don't think there's too much to be said, as I personally think that it's similar to dealing with border breaks in PCB. You accidentally broke a border during a no bombs attempt but you cleared with 2 lives remaining. I call that a no bombs run. Personal opinion though I guess. I believe I cleared with one life remaining, so I'll just call it a no bomb run. Besides, it's not like bombing Suwako's cards does damage or anything.
And I went and redid the run anyway to prove to myself that Suwako is easy enough that I can do this on a whim. 2 extra lives this time (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26009). So uh whatever. I suppressed my panic bomb natural urge this time, so I can at least feel proud of that :P
marisa isn't tough to do no bomb. the stage potion is harder. but since you allow deaths, she should fall quickly.
actually, I think you could go for NMNB on the easier extras (suwako, flandre, ran and koishi at least). though, I suppose that's still not for everybody.
Honestly I find Marisa much harder than the stage. The only part of the stage that's remotely hard with no bombs is the bit after the midboss. I'm just not that good at some of Marisa's later stuff like Perseid, Big Crunch, and Open Universe. I don't think I've tried too hard to figure them out though. Whatever.
And I dislike NMNB just because I hate restarting because I made one mistake. Personally, it's more gratifying for me if I can crawl back from an early mistake to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Again, personal preference. I certainly do like the idea of getting consistent enough at everything to do it all in one go, but it's just not as interesting of a goal for me.

I'm so close to a VoWG Perfect Timeout I can taste it, if one could theoretically taste a VoWG Perfect Timeout.

Timed out Complete Clarification. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IAv03n-3R8)
-
PoFV Normal Clear with all characters, completing Normal across all games with all characters/shottypes and finals.
I really dreaded PoFV Normal, mainly because I remembered it as quite hard, which it was, but completing it with all characters allowed to get a much, much better understanding of the game, things I never really used even on higher difficulties. Surprised that I got so many clears on the first try, though. Also learned not to take a quick look at the timer when there's an awful lot going on, especially not past the third minute in Stage 9 Round 3 with 3 Spells and 0 Extra Lives in stock.
Anyway, guess that means that I'll have to move on to Hard Mode.
-
Now I've got to the 19 second mark in a UBS timeout attempt. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26018) :]
-
Nine misses? 29 bombs used? 14 spell cards captured? Seriously, my stage practice performace yesterday was so unexpectedly good and uplifting, but then I started a full run and proceeded to fail basically everything the game would throw at me, even things like Deep-Rooted Butterfly which seemed trivial yesterday. And in hilarious ways, too. Youmu's first spell? Let's die to the first wave with two bombs in stock. Repository of Hirokawa? Let's bomb it, then lose a life anyway. Yuyuko's first nonspell? Let's get trapped IMMEDIATELY. And so on.
And despite all that, I still got my PCB Hard 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26020) with one spare life - without even reaching the 1000 extend because I'm too scared to autocollect on Hard. I swear, I don't understand this game at times.
-
I just 1cc'd PoDD Normal with all characters. The last character I've 1cc'd the game with is Ellen. The run was meh score-wise, though. I only died twice, and both deaths were to Yumemi.
...I should really 1cc SA Normal with ReimuA now.
-
Hurray, I finally cleared SA's Extra stage! So, that leaves SoEW, LLS, MS, PCB Phantasm, PoFV, UFO, FW, and TD. Totally got this, you guys. :)

Congrats. It's the hardest one to clear for the first time from the main Windows games. Go for Phantasm, imo it's the easiest out of these. Or UFO, though you'd preferably make some survival route with a bunch of red and green UFOs or just randomly get them w/o any strategy like I did :V. Btw, I remember I cleared both Phantasm and UFO Extra for the first time in the same day. :3

Spin The Cephalic Plate timeout, along with some other shenanigans. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26031) Kaze, you wanted this?

It's pretty much all streamed so I'd say it is. Hardest part would be the 7 bullet spreads shortly after the midboss.

holy shit what a day. I might have once gotten 2 achievements on one day (not even sure about that), but four!? needless to say, I am amazed and really happy.
Koishi (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26029)

Yukari (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26033)
(well, the last two were past 12am, so I guess it's two days?)
of course, the runs tend to be bombspammy (or border-breaky), and I gloriously failed hourai elixir because I thought it would be going into the other direction. :V whatever! clears are clears, and I'm really happy with that.
if anybody wants to feel good about themselves, I have 369 attempts on Nine Syllable Stabs (and 120 on Ancestors) as well as 217 attempts on Will-o-wisps in Unknown Orbit. took me an ungodly time to do this.
-
After being so inactive with touhou, I have had a good attempt at VowG lunatic which ended up in a 1DNB. Time to get some practice and capture this card at least once.

Did a 1cc of MoF as MarisaC. A character that I've never really tried but I wanted to unlock Extra for her so there's that. The accomplishment is that I managed to die to almost all of the easiest stuff. Sanae's midboss card. Haha, yeah thank you for that you little fat-ass witch. I'll totally blame her slightly larger hitbox for that one. Sanae's first spell: Yeah, didn't really approach it with my normal route since I kinda forgot it so had to read, then clipped bullet. Moses Miracle. Killed by the water. Divining Crop: Alas it had to happen sometime. This hasn't killed me in forever. And finally, Nitori's first spell too.
Cute little run. Very bad but I am still happy that I did it since I get to have a replay where I only get hit by one hard attack and that would be Saruta Cross which can be pretty hard when you are retarded and at 1xx power...
MoF you are so easy... Just don't ask me to no-bombs with her. She is clunky as hell to use. :3
-
Random progresses:
Got to Kaguya's last card in IN on normal. (not the last word, just the normal set of cards)
Got to Suwako's last card in MoF extra. Died really early in that fight, so I was surprised that I got far at all.
Captured Byakuren's first card on normal.
Suwako is so close. I just need that one good run and to stop having stupid deaths.
-
I beat Marine Benefit on easy. :smokedcheese:
Had been held back because my "old" computer, despite still having no trouble with brand new AAA games, doesn't have a fast enough CPU to handle MB's awfully optimized code without dropping to about 15 FPS. Now I can play it properly at last on a silly little laptop, because even what was a fairly cheap Ivy Bridge is a beast compared to my old Lynnfield.

Got IN Extra no bombs (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26037) before Christmas! I'll take this as a pretty good Christmas present as I've never, ever been good at Mokou ever. I feel a bit more comfortable now, but there are some cards that particularly haunt me. Mokou's first card is now fine, but her Flying Phoenix card is now nightmare inducing for me (for whatever reason). Fujiyama Volcano is still really hard for me, and I'm still terrible at Hourai Doll and Imperishable Shooting. But I can now make up for my terribleness by basically perfecting everything pre-Rings of Death, so I'm fine with that for now. Also, surprisingly few people have done any no bombs/perfect IN extra attempts (at least replays.gensokyo.org says so), which is somewhat surprising to me.
Welp, only have TD and GFW left. TD might be a tad hard since I want to do No Trance as well, and I don't think you can get more than 3 lives with a no trance condition. GFW is GFW. I might consider going back and attempting perfects of some Extras, but I probably will do them in between my primary goals to preserve my sanity.
Also it's Christmas where I am, so Merry Christmas everyone!

Well, I'm a little busy so I can't DL the replay at the moment, but since you mentioned Flying Phoenix... If you're having problems with it, here's a little "Christmas Present"~ (https://dl.dropbox.com/s/a8202h6vkwftwjw/th8_SkRr_FlyingPhoenix.rpy) If you could call something so simple such a thing.
Made sure to use Sakuya/Remilia as your link says (even though I couldn't watch it yet) so maybe it'll help a bit? It's quite easy if you realize there's plenty of room for misdirecting the Phoenixes. Then again, I may be giving useless advice as I couldn't watch yet. Maybe you already know this.
Not like I was able to actually get any of you guys anything for Christmas, so I'll just pretend this is a super-nice thing to do. Hope it helps though!
Anyways, good job! And good luck, whatever you decide to go for next!
-
Also, surprisingly few people have done any no bombs/perfect IN extra attempts (at least replays.gensokyo.org says so), which is somewhat surprising to me.
oh course, congratz. the reason nobody perfects this stage is the 8th non. there is no spell practice for it and stuff, but it's fucking fast and difficult. NMNB IN extra IS an eventual goal of mine, but it will take a while, just like SA stage 5 etc.
good luck on GFW and TD. as I said, GFW isn't as bad as it looks. you get TONS of life, even without bombs. I think a good ice-route without bombs gives your around 13 lives or so.

I cleared all UFO shots on Normal. woop woop, Happy Holidays all
-
Also, surprisingly few people have done any no bombs/perfect IN extra attempts (at least replays.gensokyo.org says so), which is somewhat surprising to me.
I've done perfect attempts, but I kind of stopped after getting an ND2B run (7th nonspell silly hit, obligatory hit to 8th nonspell). I do plan on going back to it at some point, but for now I'm pretty happy with 2 bombs and 13 spell captures (yes I failed Imperishable Shooting I wasn't thinking straight)
-
Merry
Winter Solstice Christmas people!
...and I completed Marine Benefit on Normal with all reasonable shot-types! ....Yes, I know that reduces the amount of eligible shot-types by quite a wide margin, but Sanae's special effects are quite infuriating to work with. (i.e: Reimu A,B,C and Marisa A,B,C completed.)
Edit: Don't want to double post, but I just got what I would call a good accomplishment. I managed to get a score of 1,230,765,480(replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26050)), which I think is fairly good. (Though, I imagine some people are guffawing at the thought that it is a good score, but eh....)

MarisaA is arguably the worst shot type in the game, so well done on that.
SanaeA is much, much better than she looks. When I picked her for my perfect run, it was not a self-imposed challenge, it was a key advantage that made things much easier for me. Once you get past the difficulty in aiming the virtues (and not focusing your attention on them), the only real problem is the terrible bomb. And if you have too much trouble, just play her like ReimuA and treat the virtues as just a bonus. SanaeA at max power focused is actually very slightly stronger than ReimuA.
-
I've never liked Marine Benefit, but might as well point out that SomeGuy712x, a friend of mine who doesn't have an account here, seems to prefer SanaeC (see videos: perfect Extra (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yv1ST555uqU), no-death Normal (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylcWdb39efc), Lunatic 1cc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7C9cAlxCnc4)).
-
I absoutely despise Sanae C because I'm pretty sure the developers actually did not use it. At all. It, because it is add-blended, covers up other add-blended bullets. (Google it, I can't explain it eloquently.) How did such a thing get past development? Without the visibility problems, I think it would be a reasonable shot-type.
Sanae A and B are relatively okay, but for some reason I can't use them that well compared to the more traditional shot-types.
-
It's pretty much all streamed so I'd say it is. Hardest part would be the 7 bullet spreads shortly after the midboss.
...no. There are the fairies that fire arrowheads, right before Nitori's first appearance, which are hard as hell. Then there's the wall fairies after the midboss, which require you to be in position right as you time out Hydro Camouflage (which is no small task). The 7 bullet spreads are u-streaming, I've done them before without shooting.
Please try it out yourself before you jump to conclusions like that.
-
Please try it out yourself before you jump to conclusions like that.
I have actually tried it.
and just now I avoided the "arrowhead fairies" before midboss Nitori first attempt. (failed the section with 2 of them because I tried my standard approach rather than turtling it out in the corner). In the try i did just now...the 7-bullet spreads were the hardest [stage] part. Like I expected.
Please do not make assumptions about what I have and have not tried.
WOOHOO TWO DEATH MOSES MIRACLE TIMEOUT
I'M HAPPY (first death was 52 seconds in, and anyone who knows the card knows this is a huge deal, Malky, get on timing this thing out)
oh and the replay is in the lucky dodges thread if you want to see it :V
-
actually, I don't think it's that big of a deal. I timed that thing out in 2 attempts before. I never thought anything of it, so I didn't safe the replay.
is it really that difficult to time out? I mean, it's just a variation of streaming, isn't it? there are definitely things more worthy to be timed out in that game...I mean, still congratz. if it's really something more difficult than I thought, then it's pretty good, seeing how that thing has 70 seconds; so surviving for the first 52 is...good. yes.
-
actually, I don't think it's that big of a deal. I timed that thing out in 2 attempts before.
Really? It gets really hard to reverse near the end, I'd say it's probably the single hardest card in MoF to time out (yes, harder to get than VoWG because VoWG doesn't get harder after a certain point and Moses Miracle just keeps getting faster). But yeah, playing normally it's not really something you noticed as it ends fast but timing it out gets very hellish very quickly-even 30 seconds in reversing is an ordeal.

IN Spellcard #206: Unseasonable Butterfly Storm, No Horizontal (https://dl.dropbox.com/s/pv84nwl2zyrrxtq/th8_RmYk_UnseasonableButterflyStorm_NoHori.rpy)
Alright. I myself am not sure how cool that is really, because I kinda got the feeling that was how I was supposed to capture it, since moving horizontally I have a terrible capture rate with this card. :V Unless I'm doing Remi solo where I can capture it before I trap myself in a corner.
But I'll consider this an accomplishment even if it turns out it's something easy, for two reasons; firstly because it's like the first thing I ever attempted No Horizontal ever (besides beating my brother at PoFV but that's different) and secondly this along with Tree-Ocean of Hourai makes 9/17 Last Word captures for me with Border Team (or in other words, more than half) so that's something.

I dunno, i tried it and died. Maybe it's hard but who the fuck cares. Go for a timeout of her 3rd card instead. I dunno if it's actually been done but I'd like to see it anyway. I have tried it some but always died once. Really easy to capture but she keeps pushing you to the side so it becomes mean.

TD Extra No Bombs No Manual Trance clear with Marisa! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26075) Holy crap this took so much longer than the other Extras. Without trancing, you only get 4 extra lives in this stage. Even though that's the same number as EoSD Extra, I feel as though Mamizou has much tougher cards than Flandre. It might also be because Mamizou's cards involve a lot of side dodging, which I'm terrible at. Not to mention that using Marisa makes the stage itself quite a bit harder, as the part after Nue isn't trivial anymore. As for Mamizou herself, she's fairly tricky, especially her last few cards. Going from Wild Carpet's Extra version to False Miko's Exorcism to the survival and finally to the final card really sucks since you can't build up your trance between those cards if you aren't bombing.
But wow I'm definitely excited that I got this! I've no bombed all the integer Windows extra stages, and I think I'll start concentrating on no bombing some full games instead. I was going to no bomb GFW Extra, but I'm just way too sick of the long arse stage to bother with it right now.

Holy shit Chum you're insane. (And you too, Seppo.) This challenge is so ridiculous, and yet so awesome. Definitely glad I got around to it. Komachi was the hardest, in my opinion, though Mystia was pretty tough as well. I'll probably put the Komachi run up on Youtube, actually. It took some of the best dodging I've ever done, and I somehow lasted 2 minutes in the final round against Eiki without getting hit.
Nice timeout BT, and congrats Chaotick on bringing down IN so quickly. Good luck with the rest of them.
Now, I think I've been neglecting Mystic Square a bit...
-
And you're fast! Well done! I think It's a great challenge for "pure dodging" but it also felt a bit predictable or rigid, basically you'll die once per stage from stage 6 and on (unless you pull something crazy) and you probably won't get the 70 million extend, which means 3 tries for Shikieiki, the first two of which are borderline impossible. The last match being the most winnable means everything is on the line and things get very tense, but it also sucks if bad luck strikes at that time.
Reisen took the most attempts for me, but I felt like I had really bad luck. Mystia on the other hand I got in only one attempt, with some absolutely crazy matches, but I know she's definitely among the hardest clears, if not the hardest. Yuka, Komachi, Lyrica, Marisa and Eiki were also hard for me (Eiki mainly because I wasn't used to having Reimu as a final, and Yuka mainly because of her awful speed and weird hitbox location, low speed against Eiki is really bad since my strat involves a lot of macro dodging)
I wonder if anybody else will take up this incredibly manly challenge?
-
Probably me, despite my PoFV-related issues. Not like that's ever stopping me.
Aaaaaand the first run reaches Eiki but only barely. I needed a Round 2 1:59 Komachi with no lives to spare, and that was pretty much a fluke. This, with Reimu. How many extends are you guys getting? This is ridiculous.

Some characters will score a little higher, but I almost always get the 50 million extend. Rarely did I get the 70 million one (and only with low tier chars) and sometimes I failed to get the 50 million one.
So basically, if you no miss to stage 6, lose stages 6-8 one time each, and get the 50 million extend, you'll have 3 tries for Shikieiki. It is possible to win stage 6, 7 or 8 on the first round even with a low tier char (I find Sakuya or Aya the most doable) but It's pretty damn tough.
-
My (only) run of it. I wasn't interested in playing others than my favorite shot. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25235) Still unsure if I should upload it. Even with that first-round Eiki performance. Probably not, given that the run was bad and both Zil and chum were ways cooler, doing it on more characters. Maybe. I don't know.
Strategy is to no-miss 1 to 5. If you luck out you can get a first-round performance on 6 to 8. So it's either three or four rounds against Eiki. Try lasting three minutes on the third and fourth ones, play aggressively on the first two if you're in the need of extends. 50M should be the final extend, unless you want to plan around. But that'd be too hard, just shoot at things and dodge bullets. It'll be fine, if I was able to do it, everyone is.
-
And just to mention, the stage 7 and 8 opponents will lose after roughly 2 minutes after you've lost once (not sure about the first round). The first round against stage 6 opponents usually lasts about 3 minutes. The third round against Eiki is usually 3 minutes, and if you can get a fourth round, that lasts about 2.5 minutes. All of these can vary by up to 10 seconds or so. If you're a high-tier character (which Reimu is) you can luck out and win much earlier than you should. And Yuuka sometimes kicks the bucket super early. She's also a menace when you can't clear her flowers away. So anyway, Round 2 Komachi dying at 1:59 isn't a fluke. It's pretty much just what you'd expect.
If you're not reaching the 50 million extend, try using level 2 bombs in stages 1-5.
-
Wait.
You can charge?
^_________________~
Oh wait, I get it. I thought part of it was No Bombs but I guess those are allowed?
-
You can charge?
No, because the challenge is no focus no charge constant shooting. So you can press X to bomb, and move while mashing Z...and that's it.

First Lunatic Stage 2 perfect - Cirno - thanks to help from the help thread :)

Fuck you ZUN (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26091)
I think you can die to the lasers after timing this out :V
-
First Lunatic Stage 2 perfect - Cirno - thanks to help from the help thread :)
You're welcome. If you feel like going for another stage 2 perfect, Parsee should be around the same difficulty.
(Also, a minor accomplishment: I just got my first ever ND1B VoWG Lunatic, with MarisaC in a full run. I think I could capture it with MarisaC with a few more tries, but not sure about with ReimuB yet, or ReimuA who I've captured everything else except Saruta Cross and PWG with.)
-
Welp first MoF No bombs practice run and MoF stage 3 perfected! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26098). Yeah I dunno. I'll probably get tons of these as I do this more, but this is my first time not getting a 1DNB so :V
-
After not playing Touhou for like three months, I reached MoF Stage 6 with MarisaC on first try. I kept on dying frequently and unreasonably but is good enough for me.
The experience of previous plays surely helped.
-
I might add the no charge constant shooting thing to my challenge list, but only with komachi, seeing how she's the only character I ever play. but even then, only after other certain things. so eventually.
congratz to all of you who're doing these crazy things. good job to that timeout, BT, nice going to Zil and a big congratulations to chaoticks for the IN lunatic 1cc
-
My first ever Ten Desires Normal 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26102), a rather underwhelming achievement, I realize, but still very satisfying. My previous runs have all been plagued with incredibly stupid mistakes, like running into a bullet that's about to leave the screen, forgetting that manual trances don't clear bullets, ramming Yoshika in an attempt to collect resources and so on. This run wasn't an exception - I lost three lives to Stage 5 (which is, incidentally, the first 4-and-above Stage that I managed to perfect on Normal) which was so disheartening, I nearly abandoned the run. Fighting Miko with no extra lives never bodes well, after all. Fortunately I managed to grab the 15 extend just in time and tank my way through the fight, eventually winning with no resources left in reserve.
Funny how last time I went into the fight against Miko with two extra lives and still lost, but this time managed to prevail despite a much less favourable situation.
-
The third round against Eiki is usually 3 minutes, and if you can get a fourth round, that lasts about 2.5 minutes.
Before I 1CC'd PoFV on Lunatic, I remember my match vs. Eiki lasted between 2 minutes to 2 minutes and 30 seconds...or somewhere around there. And it was only the second round. (in case anyone is wondering, I was using Marisa)
(I need to watch my old replays again...)
-
I feel so inferior now, but oh well.
EoSD: Extra Clear (Still havn't 1CC the actual game though, but getting to stage 5 on a Lunatic 1CC is getting pretty close).
PCB: Normal 1CC, Extra Clear, Phantasm Clear.
IN: Currently None.
PoFV: Currently None.
MoF: Normal 1CC, Extra Clear.
SA: Normal 1CC.
UFO: Normal 1CC.
TD: Currently none, although, I'm pretty close to a Lunatic 1CC.
Nothing for PC-98 games yet. I should probably start actually clearing some of the games on Normal or Hard before I jump to Lunatic all the time, but at the same time, getting to stage 4 or 5 on most games on Lunatic makes me kind of want to continue trying Lunatic 1CCs.

Wow, what a day! First a TD Normal clear on my first try of the day, and now a PoFV Normal clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26112), also on my first try! I love how the run turned out, too. I have absolutely no clue about scoring in this game, so I only managed to reach the 10 million extend through sheer luck in the second round of Stage 9, then I got away with some dodges way beyond my real skill level in Round 3 (check the replay), which proved crucial because I very nearly managed to throw my victory away in the final seconds.
It was amazing! I never really paid much attention to this game, but this run was so intense and fun, it's probably my most satisfying 1cc yet. I think I'm going to play the Phantasmagoria games more from now on.
-
SA Normal 1cc with ReimuA (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=26115), FINALLY!
Omg, this is like my first EoSD Normal 1cc all over again. So damn exciting! ALMOST didn't make it in the end, considering I still have problems with Okuu.
Now to try the Extra stage! :derp:
@ redlakitu
Gratulation to your 1cc's!
PoFV is just insanely intense, been a while since I last tried it. Now with SA out of my mind, I guess I have no choice anymore. :3
-
@Piranha
Go for it. Congratulations for your SA 1cc too, it makes me both happy and jealous at the same time because it's something I've been trying to do for a long while now. The game is, in general, really fun, but Utsuho's last two spell cards fill me with dread.
-
MoF LNB! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26116)
Will add more comments later.
e: This run has an extremely funny Stage 6 stage portion. I arrive at Stage 6 with 4 lives, but died twice on the stage alone.
Well, I was scared and felt I wasn't going to clear, since last time I got to Kanako with 3 lives and failed. But I guess practice paid off and I beat Kanako pretty easily.
The earlier stages, especially 3 and 5, had some embarrassing mistakes. Stage 4 was bad as always.
Moving on... I guess I could do IN no bombs, unless someone can convince me to do SA.
e2: Is there any way to stop MoF replay from desyncing? It always does that on stage 4. Even when I run it from stage 1-3 it desyncs.
I'm using version 1.00a. Replay was saved in that format I believe.
-
I got a Normal 1cc on EoSD, and the run contains a NDNB Stage 4 run! I used Reimu A and the final two stages could've been better. A clear's a clear, though! :toot:

Let me chime in - I've got the third game down. TD lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26124).
Much like IHNN's one, it has a 1BND Seiga fight, with only a bomb on the second nonspell.
I even had a life to spare in the end! I'm feeling really jumpy. The good kind of jumpy. *jig*

Cleared the current version of the PCB Ultra patch (http://i.imgur.com/yaW3P.png)
Significantly easier than the old version. Patterns are more or less the same, but borders now give invincibility a'la TD hypers. Thinking I might do some scoring with it just to see how silly it gets.
-
You can make it so that borers won't give you invincibility by installing a the patch with the different exe.

If it wasn't a deathbomb my fight is crazier :V
I could have had a life or even 2 to spare but I completely fell apart due to nerves on Stage 6, it's a wonder I didn't choke on that run.
PCB with invincibility borders sounds no fun, I like trying to flail around in a border trying to dodge everything.

Hey, TD is one of the harder ones to clear IMO, if you can get that you can get everything but UFO and maybe SA pretty easily.
Besides, a 1 bomb Seiga is not the easiest thing in the world, especially Tongling Yoshika with a non-Youmu shot type.

Ah, I'm sorry if I sounded a bit rash. I must have, in retrospect...
And it's certainly not as easy as its reputation dictates.
-
At least its Lunatic mode isn't. I've even cleared SA already but haven't got to stage 6 yet in TD or UFO. :V :V :V
-
TD was still my first Windows Lunatic 1cc (and only first 1cc that wasn't preceded by at least one game over to stage 6, or stage 5 for that matter, clearing on the first attempt that defeated Seiga without continuing), and I still don't get why various others find it so difficult (unless you're describing the difficulty of perfecting Lunatic stage 2 and 3 compared to the other non-UFO games, which I'd completely agree with). Getting the overall clear depends mostly on learning the stage portions and trance routes (which I had to do to clear Hard), and planning auto-bombs since you don't refill as much trance if a pattern ends while the bomb is still active.
Hmm, maybe it's related to why some people find EoSD one of the easier games, even though I consider it second to UFO. I put a lot of planning regarding bombing routes and learning specific stage/pattern strategies in my 1ccs, and that sort of planning doesn't help as much with the way EoSD is filled with pure-dodging-based patterns that also vary with rank.
-
I think you're right about that. I found it to be the case when playing EoSD at 90fps. Planning only takes you so far in that game, and I ended up just having to bomb reflexively, rather than planning them out. The bombs themselves being comparatively weak contributes as well.
For similar reasons, I consider PoFV to be the hardest Windows game. In fact, I'd love to see a 90fps 1cc of PoFV using someone like Komachi or Mystia, seeing as people like Sakurei and Tsym seem to be making UFO their ultimate goal. PoFV should just be a little stepping stone, right? :P
-
Zil, rest assured, a PoFV 90 fps 1cc is very high on my priority list. and as you know, I play nothing but komachi. I can't promise it in january/february or maybe even march, but I will do it.
yeah, UFO is sort of a faraway super goal right now, but as you said once before: it's got a lot of stuff you can muscle memorize, so once I have reached that point, it won't feel as super difficult as it does now. (still tough, though :V). and yeah, PoFV is missing that particular feature.
as for TD....first lunatic 1cc, the next one only came after 6 months later despite lots of playing. the rest just rolled in within 3 weeks after that, safe for UFO. says a lot about the game's difficulty for your old regular pansy 1cc.
-
Finally, all Fairy Wars Normal routes cleared... 10 months and a day after getting the first one. B1, man. I hate B1.
-
For similar reasons, I consider PoFV to be the hardest Windows game.
Not if you're aiming to simply 1cc on Lunatic, since Aya and/or Medicine will trivialize pretty much everything (first-try Aya 1cc from someone like me who finds the soundtrack terrible outside of Aya/Sakuya/Komachi/Shikieiki, can't tolerate a lack of a hold-to-shoot button for more than 45 minutes or so, and never cleared when trying Normal with Reimu or any other non-broken character, says something).
I'd consider that reasoning to apply to PoDD compared to the standard games, though.

Something similar with me. LLS in October 2011, TD in November 2011, PCB/IN/MoF/SA/MS/GFW/EoSD/UFO all around April/May/June 2012. UFO might have taken longer but I put hundreds of attempts into it within 2 weeks or so when it was the only standard non-SoEW game left.
And speaking of 90fps Lunatic, I've been considering going for at least one of those. Any suggestions on which would be the most doable?

Yeah, the reason I'm bad at TD is the same reason I'm bad at IN: I suck at the stage portions. And due to lack of practice, Kyouko is almost as troublesome as Seiga for me. :getdown:
And I find EoSD to be the second easiest game, behind PCB. Seems like I do fit that. :V After getting my PCB and EoSD Lunatics it still took a while to get IN (I actually got 2 1ccs in each before getting IN).
And speaking of 90fps Lunatic, I've been considering going for at least one of those. Any suggestions on which would be the most doable?
PCB. You have borders, resources, it's overall easy, and doesn't have IN's retarded deathbomb system.
-
Of the ones I did, MoF was easiest. However, PCB probably wouldn't be too hard, and as far as I'm aware, nobody's done that yet, so it might be more interesting to try that instead. MoF is kind of underwhelming thanks to the bombs. TD is not as easy as you might think, (at least it wasn't for me) but the planning process was very fun.
And I usually ignore the existence of Aya/Medi when talking about the difficulty of PoFV, just as I'd ignore "MarisaBugged" in MoF, since they break the game pretty thoroughly. I mean that with an average character, PoFV is hardest. (And for anyone who tries to say so, Reimu isn't an average character. I'd put her next after Aya and Medi, myself.)
-
I actually agree about PoFV Aya/Medicine not counting any more than MoF MarisaB glitch. Though it still isn't enough to prevent me from abusing the technicality to claim that I have all Lunatic non-fighting-game 1ccs in the series, if I ever get a PoDD Lunatic 1cc that is (which I'm hoping to get eventually just because, despite my trouble with pressing the shot button repeatedly).
"Average character" difficulty gets a bit debatable though, since, for example, SA with non-ReimuA characters (except maybe ReimuC's bombs, never seriously used her for survival though) can get quite a bit harder.
-
the average character thing is really...unclear. there are a couple factors after all.
the SA comparison is flawed. unlike glitch marisa or aya/medi, she doesn't break the game. I am pretty sure I could 1cc the game on 90 fps with medi in less than 5 tries :V same goes to glitch marisa. but obviously not for reimuA.
-
The SA comparison was for the concept of comparing "average character" difficulty, in response to where Zil said PoFV Reimu isn't an average character.
Am I correct in assuming that PoFV Reimu is comparable to the above-average characters (various games' needle Reimu, UFO SanaeB) of the other games?
-
I wouldn't say so. I've had Reimu kill a second round Eiki at 1:30, while she should normally last at least until 3:00. On top of that, it's worth noting that the first 30 or 40 seconds of any match will be at a much lower intensity than the rest of it, so as Reimu I only got less than a minute of the actual difficult part, while most characters would have to survive over 2 minutes of it. And that was just playing normally with her. If you try to fully exploit her advantages (cast level 3 spells when the AI's gauge is empty) you could perhaps no-miss the whole game with some good luck. (Certainly I've no-missed to Eiki without even using the level 3's.) I consider her to be a broken character because of that. None of the best types from any of the normal games have such a big difference between them and the weaker types. ReimuC of SA comes closest, I think, but I definitely wouldn't call it broken. PoFV Reimu can easily do something which is (theoretically) supposed to be impossible.
-
I think you're right about that. I found it to be the case when playing EoSD at 90fps. Planning only takes you so far in that game, and I ended up just having to bomb reflexively, rather than planning them out. The bombs themselves being comparatively weak contributes as well.

Ha. I can only get my way through Touhou via pattern recognition. If I see an attack enough times, eventually it'll become muscle memory. PoFV is the exact opposite of that, so you probably won't be seeing anything related to that game anytime soon. I did get an Aya Lunatic 1cc on my first try, but I'll chalk that up to her brokenness more than anything. Although to be frank, the jump in difficulty from Normal to Lunatic in PoFV was much smaller than I thought it would be. The only major difference was in bullet speed, and that can sometimes make the game easier since bullets leave the screen faster. Doesn't help with Eiki though. Walls of death are still walls.
And speaking of 90fps Lunatic, I've been considering going for at least one of those. Any suggestions on which would be the most doable?
Fun fact: You'd think that 90fps PCB Lunatic would be fairly easy right? Lolno. If you aren't using Marisa, bombs do piss damage in PCB, especially with ReimuB, and I'm guessing Sakuya's bombs aren't too hot either. Even worse, Sakuya's focused speed is ridiculously fast in 90fps, which makes dodging some attacks much harder than they should be. Even though PCB throws resources at you, you can't actually skip too many attacks with them. At least, that's my opinion after messing around in PCB 90fps for a while. I personally think MoF would be tons easier. VoWG would be painful, but MoF lets you bomb through pretty much everything so :V
-
I don't really think TD is that hard either. In fact, I'm never sure why I screw up. It seems easy and I cruise along until I seemingly evaporate. Why? No idea. It'd probably be easy if I wasn't a derp (I am) or used stage practice every once in a while (I never have :V).
I imagine I'd be going for PCB next but it seems to have this sort of input lag... ah well, I got to Youmu's last spell on my first try so it can't take too long.
PoFV... eh, I don't know. Frankly I have no idea how to maximize your spell output. Don't even know how to permashoot, I keep ramming the button like crazy. That's probably why I never enjoyed it too much and abandoned it after a Normal 1cc.
-
Haven't played much 90FPS, but I'd probably guess PCB SakuyaA clear. if you're really liberal with your bombs/border breaks you can bomb almost every single pattern and still clear. That's how I got my first 60FPS clear when I was terrible at the game anyway. It pretty much trivializes the game if you do that though, so I'd go with a more balanced survival shot like ReimuB if you're going to go for PCB. I'd put MoF up there on the easy ones too, since I managed to get to PWG on my first (and only) attempt at 90fps. So many bombs... Also Karisa, maybe consider picking up a stick for PoDD/PoFV. Stick buttons are really amazing for tapping. You'd just have to get used to movement with a stick, which would probably come quickly enough.
-
I imagine I'd be going for PCB next but it seems to have this sort of input lag...
Dude, Vpatch. It doesn't just fixes it, but it's even needed to get 90FPS. :V
-
(And for anyone who tries to say so, Reimu isn't an average character. I'd put her next after Aya and Medi, myself.)
That bad after all? Oh, well, just a matter of time until I get around to clearing the game with the other characters.
It wasn't until I played something above Easy that I realized just how broken some of the characters really are, particularly Aya, or how tough a fight other characters have, Reisen for instance. Not really going to defend my Reimu 1CC at this point, I can't really consider it 100% legit myself anymore. It does depend on luck and how the character is used, but I did have a Round 3 of a bit less than 2 minutes against Eiki, if I recall correctly, so that really is quite fast.
-
Dude, Vpatch. It doesn't just fixes it, but it's even needed to get 90FPS. :V
Vpatch... I didn't even know about that.
You have enlightened a fool, most appreciated! I've been bumbling around with the lag all this time :derp:
Edit: HOLY CRAP THIS GAME IS SO EASY NOW
-
Not counting broken shot types like medicine, aya or marisabugged, I would think that SA is the easiest to clear at 90 fps, since you dont really have to dodge much at all, tap streaming doesnt change if you switch to 90 fps, and neither does bombing. MoF is probably harder unless you're really good with VoWG at 90fps.
-
Got the Reimu clear in PoFV with wacky restrictions enabled.
Not impressive at all. Played horribly, Eiki gave up at 2:00 on the third round.
I really need to get better at this game.

Congrats. :toot:
EoSD is around the same level of PCB (Remilia is easier than Yuyuko, imo), but you'll have to be careful with the deathbomb time if you got used to PCB Reimu's (not a reason to use Marisa though, she sucks, at least when aiming for a clear). You'll also need some ability with pure dodging.
SA... just make it to Okuu with 1 spare life and you'll be fine, because Orin is the problem. But don't worry, you have Reimu-Awesome. :V

Captured Mikoto's first nonspell and first spellcard back-to-back, and on top of that, caught Breaking Critical Point and the last nonspell back-to-back, and all in the same run.
Painfully close to capturing the second nonspell, but died with a sliver of health. Honestly, this was probably for the best, because my farce of an attempt at Blessings of the Sea was among my worst performances since pretty much ever. I managed to die THREE TIMES, for fuck's sake.
For those who haven't played MB, here's a point of comparison so you get the idea of what this is like: imagine playing TD Lunatic Stage 6 at 90 FPS, acing absolutely everything Miko has to throw at you with only one stray death, and then dying twice to her last card with bombspam included.
Still, I can safely say that this time around, I kicked Mikoto's ass instead of Mikoto kicking my ass. Which I would say is a pretty damn good achievement.

Stages 1-3 went as expected. I died twice on Stage 4 (once in the stage and once during Flying Insect's Nest), which is sort of acceptable, I guess. Then Stage 5 came, and the run went downward. Four deaths to the stage portion and one death to Orin. However, it didn't go completely downward, since I died only once to the stage portion of Stage 6 (near the beginning). I reached Utsuho with 2 lives remaining... and I'm not going to say the rest, except that I will not forget the spell capture of Mega Flare. With no bombs to use, since I was below 1 power.
. I did die once during the fight.
So yeah, guess this is the last 1cc coming from me for this year.
I will very likely put this on YouTube on the 2nd of January.
-
Perfect Lunatic Aki!
Bonus: I haven't played a full game of SA Normal with ReimuB in ten months, at which point I game over'd on Stage 6. I just tried today and cleared with 7 extra lives. It's nice trying particular things after a long time and seeing that huge jump in improvement.

Btw Malky, is there a way to fix MB's kind of input lag, which makes me suck at it? (I think you're the best person for me to ask this :V)
Best method I've found is restarting the computer before playing MB. For whatever reason, the impact of a fresh computer on playing MB is pretty enormous.
Of course, the joke is that when you do this, you'll likely find that all your movements are too fast. :getdown:

I know a lot of people (especially here) are way better than I am, but I'm still proud of my achievements so far.

I did Normal 1cc's of every 'normal' Touhou game with every character/attack type, and I did my first Hard 1cc ever, today. :D It was TH06 that I did this with. Also I find the extra stages in Touhou much easier now, because I have improved so much!! They don't even scare me that much anymore.

There are a lot of people who has cleared this game but never managed to pull of a NMNB Byakuren fight. I definitely thought you would have cleared that game. Well I guess I just gotta say, get on that oh and pick up all the red UFO's and bomb everything that isn't an auto-capture and then you'll win the game no problem. No you don't need a UFO route, nobody does, you just need to do some proper resource management and combine that with some basic knowledge on the game like which attacks are trivial and which things can be memorized etc.
I don't think it will take you much beyond a handful of tries if you actually bothered with it.
-
if you actually bothered with it.
And there's the problem for most things I haven't done. <_<

There are a lot of people who has cleared this game but never managed to pull of a NMNB Byakuren fight.
And some of us who have cleared the game on Lunatic but haven't even managed to capture all of Byakuren's patterns at least once on Hard.
Yes, Seiga, you should get it really easily. Summon blue UFOs instead of red UFOs in the places with a lot of point items (i.e. stage 3+) if you need more of a challenge.
(Now since the actual best Touhou game is obviously MS, go for a perfect Yumeko)

GFW Lunatic C-2 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26196). So yeah I got this with no prior GFW Lunatic experience in like 2 or so hours, with breaks of course. It's a pretty lame game to clear once you figure out what to do. Farm stuff for resources. No dodging required.

Try scoring then. Very fun to use bombs for freezing rather than as a defensive measure. The game doesn't shit in your face just because you die accidentally a few times, either (as long as you actually finish with 1000% moto)

That's because it had too many mistakes to be worth posting outside the high score thread. In fact, it was already replaced by an E (http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee487/KarisaMirisame/th5hmi-E1476240-1.png). I'm hoping for an F in the future.

MSD? What exactly is that again? (searches) Oh, it's one (two?) of those Touhou fan games that doesn't even play like a Touhou game, that I think I saw in Jaimers' uploads earlier. I've tried a few games of that style, and never really found them enjoyable compared to the style of the official Touhou games, so I'll have to agree with Zengeku, UFO is better.

Jaimers said that it was the best Touhou game and what he says goes. :V

I just recently captured that spell too! ;P I might upload my capture to youtube later. Currently I've captured 212/222 IN spells (95.04%). I only have Keine, Reimu and Reisen's Last Spell on Lunatic (also Hard for Reisen), Hourai Elixir Lunatic, Imperishable Shooting and Alice, Mokou, EX Keine and Yukari's LWs left to do. I still have to unlock all of these except Hourai Elixir.

That type of shmup isn't actually being portrayed optimally by MSD, you'd have to look into non-fan games like Mushihimesama Futari which is an infinitely better game than MSD. While on the topic I'll say that games like these do offer considerably better stage portions than official Touhou games they also have rather lackluster boss fights compared to Touhou which is exactly why it doesn't really make sense to compare the two.
UFO is just the objectively better game though as it not only rewards you for actually doing well on the bosses but also forces you to instead of just bombing/hypering the living hell out of them like you do in MSD on anything above Moderate. Not saying that MSD Extreme patterns are impossible but from what I can see you are from a scoring perspective better off bombing and hypering them so you can get pointblanking on the bosses etc. giving you pretty much zero incentive to actually dodge all the patterns unlike most Caves games or most Touhou games, which if true would just be plain fail.
EDIT: Remember, best Touhou design: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IJIZkwyVrU

For a second I thought it'd be narrated. :getdown: Good job.
-
I agree with Zengeku. I might fail at UFO, but it's an official Touhou game. Magical Singular Day isn't Touhou-style at all, and I prefer Touhou-style to Cave-style games any day of the week (Hellsinker being the only exception). Magical Singular Day might be fun to people who want to memorize scoring paths and stuff, but I don't find scoring to be fun at all. And I prefer to actually, you know, DODGE! If you want a good Touhou shmup fangame with Touhou-style gameplay, you want something like Concealed the Conclusion or Marine Benefit.
-
Also, on the topic of fangames, there's always Phantasmagoria Trues. Better scoring mechanics than MSD and more polished difficulty too. Not Marine Benefit, that fails.
-
Damn it, you're right with Phantasmagoria Trues. I can't believe I forgot it!
Maybe because I don't play it enough and can't even beat Standard (damn it, Area 5! I hate you and your stupid maze thing!).
-
Well, this was quite unexpected... (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26207)
TD Extra stage clear !
That makes all of Windows games Extras cleared :toot:
Not much to say on this one, I just did a few attempts as a breather from EoSD lunatic, and here we are.
Thanks to Zil for his replay of Stupid Miko. I still didn't capture it, but at least I saved enough resources to bombspam the survival card as usual :3
(damn it, Area 5! I hate you and your stupid maze thing!).
Couldn't agree more.
-
You know you can't really say a scoring system sucks when you're not actually playing the game the way you're supposed to.
Meaning actually using the hyper cancel to keep the rank at level 10 and make the bullets move at lightning speed. It's a really, really fun system.
but I don't find scoring to be fun at all. And I prefer to actually, you know, DODGE!
What does this even mean.
-
Where are the superplays? :3
Maybe because I don't play it enough and can't even beat Standard (damn it, Area 5! I hate you and your stupid maze thing!).
Okay, so first off that stage is not that hard people. Memorization is your friend. And you don't even need a lot of it. And cut down a bit on the scoring if you are struggling to stay alive. The stages are very simple if you keep the rank low. Plus the game gives you a near infinite supply of lives so just use your bombs and you'll be fine.
-
1cc'd MS Hard on first try. :toot:

UFO Stage 2 Lunatic NMNBNUFO (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26218). Cannot believe this happened on a random practice run before bed. Kogasa's such a bitch, but I'll definitely take my small victory over her today.
-
Nice job. You'll soon realize that she is a lovely bitch that you want to spend all of your heart and free time with and keep fighting her over and over again. The safespot will become second nature for you and you'll eventually start getting NMNBs on her every time.
-
MoF Normal NFNB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26223) and I even got 4 okuus to show for it :3

Finally got my butt off the couch and tried EoSD (well actually I was still on the couch but you know)
Either vpatch made it all trivial or I'm suddenly borderline decent at Touhou. At any rate I did stuff I wouldn't have dreamt of doing. Capture all of Patchouli's spells (ReimuB), capture all of Sakuya's attacks but Killing Doll (nonspells included), actually capturing Remilia's first three spells and others like that.
Too bad I haven't so far managed to combine all those captures in a single run. Best I've gotten in that regard is perfect game up until Meiling's last nonspell. Eh.

Now that you say it, I got all of my lunatic 1cc's so far in the morning...
After doing stage 1 and 2 without bombs keyboard ghosting sends me straight into one of those fluffballs at the beginning of 3. God dammit. One more try and then I'm done, will probably get it in the morning.
EDIT: Nah, screw this BS. I'm falling asleep behind the steering wheel, I usually am asleep at 10 o' clock. This is futile.
Mark my words though: tomorrow morning this game shall fall. No excuses.
-

It's very easy to remap your keys to prevent things like that, in case you haven't tried that already. (And the fact that you're doing Lunatic clears with ghosting like that is crazy.)
Now I wish I could actually mention an accomplishment of my own for once but I haven't really done anything serious since the new year. I'm trying to rebuild my confidence.
Can't comment on MSD since it's danmakufu and thus unplayable for me. Not that it could ever compare to the real best Touhou game anyway.
-
Nice job. You'll soon realize that she is a lovely bitch that you want to spend all of your heart and free time with and keep fighting her over and over again. The safespot will become second nature for you and you'll eventually start getting NMNBs on her every time.
I don't use the safespot for Kogasa. I had to use MarisaA to do her first attack :V
-

With ghosting I meant that I at random intervals in time suddenly travel straight in one direction without me pressing anything; this only stops when I press that direction myself. This invariably leads to my death.
If with ghosting you mean that one can't travel in certain diagonal directions... I fixed that about halfway through my hard 1cc's. I did remap them, too bad it throws you out of the game when you hold a button for three seconds without pressing any others.
At any rate, I'm going to resume my efforts right now. I've got three hours in this morning. It shall suffice.
EDIT: Ninety minutes and I've only reached Remilia once. All of the other tries I've ragequit at some point before stage 5.
EDIT2: No morning capture then... I reached Scarlet Meister for the first time.
It was... painful.
-
So yeah, I bought skyrim a couple weeks ago...
Now that I finished playing that for now (earlier today), I decided it would be funny to play PoDD hard because it's fun and I suck too much to play Lunatic. I cleared with both Marisa and Reimu within 3 runs total. First time I 1CC with Reimu on hard and it was No-Miss. Wait what? Not only that but i believe that is my first 1LC of ANY Touhou game other than perfecting TD easy (cause that's really hard).
Anyway, so that happened. Congrats to all the accomplishments between my posts, I'm too lazy to read them right now but i probably will over the next few days.
(http://i50.tinypic.com/290vsqp.png)
My score table now for Hard, I know I shouldn't post this embarrassment since we have legends like Zil lurking around but whatever.
Also the other day I played a few random runs of stuff and perfected Yumeko on normal. I don't think it was max rank and my proof is the fact that I got a perfect, but still it's something.
-
I got to Stage 5 on my first try as Marisa A in EoSD :V
-
Haven't been playing much due to Skyrim, but here's somethig... Scoring attempt on Yukari's LW (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26226), getting 80m at the end. Not really a big accomplishment, but I guess that's a decent score for someone who doesn't know how to dodge the fourth wave without safespotting, and doesn't really graze the second-last wave because I don't know how to because it's too fast. :V
-
Timed out Remilia's opener. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04NG_AMw15Q)
Also timed out two of Alice's cards yesterday, Spring Kyoto Dolls (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RgzXsa1Q4E) and Chalk White Russian Dolls (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpTlvovcgjw).
Hopefully I'm finally starting to not suck at these games again.

Perfected Stage 6 MoF Lunatic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSZZPJDPVVk)
Hmm. I might end up doing stage 4 as well, for completion's sake.
-
I had kind of a busy month in December, but I've got a few new accomplishments to my name. To wit:
First: 1cc'd PCB on Hard for the first time. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26242) I'm not gonna lie, I'm not really as enthused about this one as I was when I cleared EoSD - half of it because it's a pretty shit run (five or so deaths were with bombs left in stock, fucking hell), and the other half because I don't really like PCB all that much. Oh well?
Second: I started making segmented perfect runs (i.e. no bombs, no deaths) for some of the games on normal! I sorta started these to help someone out on another forum, but now I'm considering doing the whole series just for the hell of it. These ones I'm much more proud of, even if I got pretty pissed off at the games at the time. My progress so far:
Subterranean Animism:
Stage 1: vs. Yamame (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25756)
Stage 2: vs. Parsee (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25757)
Stage 3: vs. Yuugi (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25758)
Stage 4: vs. Satori (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25759)
Stage 5: vs. Rin (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25760)
Stage 6: vs. Utsuho (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25761)
It took FOREVER to get Stage 6 down, either because Nuclear Fusion or Mega Flare would clip me, or I'd get as far as Hell's Artificial Sun and die just as it dissolves. I would not be surprised in the slightest if it took me over 200 times to get a good run. :\ Rin and Satori can together pretty quickly though (the latter you have Shoot the Bullet to thank for), and stages 1-3 are p. much a non-issue on Normal.
Ten Desires
Stage 1: vs. Yuyuko (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25770)
Stage 2: vs. Kyouko (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25771)
Stage 3: vs. Yoshika (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25772)
Stage 4: vs. Seiga (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25773)
Stage 5: vs. Futo (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25774)
Stage 6: vs. Miko (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25775)
This took less time than SA, but not much - it probably has something to do with the fact that I was using Youmu. Not that I care though, she's the #1 reason to play 10D in the first place. :V Finding a good route on some of the stages was kind of a pain, as I'm used to using Trance to collect bombs/lives, as well as blast through some of the trickier parts. Also: Miko's exploding arrows can go straight to hell.
Next up will either be PCB or MoF, I think - they're both easier than SA, so I suspect they won't take as long. I'd try perfecting IN or UFO next though, but HAHAHAHA NO.
-
There. I've done it. EoSD Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26243).
I did a whole lot of stupid things and I don't give an ounce of excrement. :D

Got a normal LLS 1cc on my first try today (and it's not something I've ever pursued, really). I hadn't even reached stage 6 before that, and I blew two lives on Elly this time.
I'm not even sure if ReimuB is a good shottype or not, haha.
Guess there's nothing I can do about that!
Now I actually might seriously start shooting for MS, but UFO and EoSD extra are still lingering. and various hard modes

as opposed to nobody, I finished my DS 90 fps. like, on the day i came back from home :'D though, unlike what arf said, 12-7 was not the last hard card. surprisingly, I died a lot on ex-7 and...pardon me, but spoiler-9 took me like 400 photos, too (assuming I had an average of 5 pics, that's like...80 tries)
since I finished both now, I can say DS had more hard cards, but the difficult ones in StB were infinitely more difficult. I had like 3 scenes with 1000+ pics in StB, but none in DS. 2 of those even reached 2000+. guilty not guilty, kinkaku ji and pandemonium (that was ex-8, right?) respectively.
as opposed to DS's 3 hardest scenes 8-1 (with 500 photos), 12-7 (with 600-700. I switched a lot between aya and hatate and lost overview) and 10-8 with a little under 500.
StB also had a couple scenes that went above 500, but simply far more scenes were below 200 or whatever threshold I wanna put. so yeah, StB was harder. I should have probably done this the othe way around
ok, 8-1 was the hardest scene, so zengeku is silly for stopping there :V even though 12-7 took me more tries, it was easier. I just hadn't played for 10 days and was a rusty fuck. in third comes 10-8, because holy shit. my capture of it is 90% luck. other hard cards were 7-1, 9-7, 11-3 (lol, yeah, I know), 12-1, 12-4, 12-6 (instant deaths aren't easy to dodge :'D, but it was tough normally, too. the replay didn't desynch, so it's included!), ex-3 (lololol, the last photo), ex-5, ex-7 and sp-9.
my favorite scenes was probably 11-6. at 90 fps, it's just so...badass. not that the normal version isn't badass, but that's just. WOW. it also has my favorite dodge, which is me going into the ring at unfocused speed. that was totally planned. but if you watch the video, you'll see.
other notable scenes that were awesome are 9-7, 10-2, 10-6 (iku is awesome), 11-2, 12-8, ex-7, sp-6 and sp-9. for fun factor, anyway.
as for recording: first of all I'd like to apologize to ranko. I needed to work with your files and wanted to convert them (since I need them to be in .avi format), but I am a genius when it comes to computer stuff, so I ended up corrupting them and I had no way of re-downloading them because my internet was dead until 2 hours ago. I recorded them myself, which added to my workload by a millionfold. I still thank you for your effort to record the stages. had I been smarter, I'd have needed to do a lot less work than i ended up with. derp
next up is: during the video you'll see it skip from time to time, or it randomly pauses. I did that because at that point, fraps decided 90 fps wasn't cool, so I had to cut the recording and restart it. since I didn't record everything in order, you will see me simply pressing f9 in later stages, while I took the pausing approach later on. with the latter one, you won't miss out on the one bullet I dodge :V it became all weird during ex-4 and I messed up on 10-2 and 4-7, but it SHOULD be bearable for every other scene. my apologies, but my laziness was getting in my way of re-recording them. handling over 108 files due to splitting is no fun task and I will never do it again. oh, and one last thing is I am terrible at pushing a button, so sometimes the scenes starts right before the first photo taken. fortunately for all of us: you usually don't dodge bullets by then :V
music was once again just thrown in. I need a proper program to put in music files :V windows media player is terrible. rejected 80% again.
BUT ENOUGH TALK, HAVE AT YO- I mean here's the video. annotations will be added right after the upload is finish, so expect them in 5 hours because it will take forever again

IN Lunatic Stage 1 Perfect Pacifist (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26255), because Wriggle is awesome. (video (http://youtu.be/xKw5zd1ZztM))
-
ok, 8-1 was the hardest scene, so zengeku is silly for stopping there :V
Spending your time on retarded things is the silly thing. I found this retarded so I moved on. You didn't so you stuck with it. That's all. :V
Also, using Hatate ever is kinda fail as well since she is kinda broken. I didn't watch all of your video though and ZUN's little glitch doesn't make it any easier to tell what character you used and I still find your accomplishment impressive regardless.
And no, i won't ever try this again. I've learnt my lesson.
-
as for recording: first of all I'd like to apologize to ranko. I needed to work with your files and wanted to convert them (since I need them to be in .avi format), but I am a genius when it comes to computer stuff, so I ended up corrupting them and I had no way of re-downloading them because my internet was dead until 2 hours ago. I recorded them myself, which added to my workload by a millionfold. I still thank you for your effort to record the stages. had I been smarter, I'd have needed to do a lot less work than i ended up with. derp
I probably could've asked more about what you wanted to have done with the recording stuff anyway. Apology accepted and awesome job with everything! :toot:
-
ReimuB LLS normal 1CC
ReimuB is the worst shot type in the game, so congrats on that.
Anyway, as for me...I managed to perfect the entire stage portion of MB Extra for the first time ever. I wasn't recording the whole thing, but I did record my "super" capture method for Rising Salt Ball (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV1nlQ5T2sc), because it makes the pattern seriously badass. This thing is basically VoWG-level in how fun it is, while being probably harder than VoWG to time out, even though it doesn't last nearly as long.
-
hatate is only REALLY broken for a few scenes. like 11-1, ex 6 for instance.
yeah, I think I said this when I was doing it back in december: doesn't seem for everyone. so you not doing the all clear at 90 fps doesn't really bother me. preferences exist and that's all there is to.
Ranko: thanks! for both: apology accepted and the congratz
nowplease wait warmly until I actually gain consistency on UFO stage 5. I mean, seriously. I game over half the time :'D I'm also working on the PoFV 90 fps 1cc with Komachi. so these are the 2 next things I'll have ready. Probably.
-
Timed out Yuyuko's opener. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-t4cGG17eg)

And I just 1cced Normal on UFO with SanaeA, which means I've 1cced Normal on UFO with all shot types. :getdown:
I am not repeating that on Hard. Not at all. No way.
-
Just nabbed a 1cc of GFW Lunatic C-1 route. Only got the B routes left. So I'm going to slightly revise my opinion of GFW. It's a pretty good game. It's just that C-2 is a terrible route. Playing it once in a while is worth some left hand ache afterwards I guess :V

My dreams have become reality!
(http://i.imgur.com/umzx8.jpg)
And congrats on the clear RNG!
-
Holy crap, nice work Zil! And thanks :blush:
-
Zil's a monster. we all knew it
and now we have reinforcing proof. extraordinary job on it. congratulations.
to you, too, RNG. congratulations.
I was thinking of doing a no focus no charge challenge for PoFV myself to get my focus habit out of the way (which I noticed a while ago), but have decided against it (for now), because doing that would mean reset the game back to 60, try a bunch of times and when I go back to 90 fps, I'd be all like "OH NO, EVERYTHING SO FAST". so I suppose I'll do that challenge after I feel like I am satisfied with 9 fps achievements (I am sure to go back to improve the not-yet-existing PoFV 1cc 90 fps, because I know it will be terrifying to watch)
-
Whoa, congrats RNG and Zil.
Well, it blackouted over here and I took the opportunity to cap some cards with Border team on IN (laptop ftw BV). Done 220/222 so far. But the two cards missing are the worst: Rape Jewel and Fantasy Hell. Looks like I should give up by now. :V
-
Also Zil, get back on the sekrit IRC channel, we've missed you ;(
-
My dreams have become reality!
Is that a reference to something? I feel like I've seen it before...
-
Wow congrats to RNG, Zil, and Oh for their achievements! Mine feels so small by comparison; 1cc'd all GFW routes on Lunatic. The game is more fun than I thought it was when I played it as a Normal player. I think GFW was primarily built around Lunatic, and ZUN barely play tested the easier difficulties or something. The freezing mechanic doesn't work too well on easier difficulties :V.
Anyway now that that's done, I guess it's back to attempting MoF no bombs and still trying to clear UFO Lunatic with Marisa's shot types.
Is that a reference to something? I feel like I've seen it before...
I think that's the most generic fantasy trope ever. It comes up a ton in Disney at least, so I wouldn't be surprised if it comes up somewhere in anime as well.
-
Good work as usual, everyone.
-
Oh, and Zil, Dream on, until your dreams come true.
-
Zil: saw the youtube (via feed), logged on here to say holy fuck congrats. That Reimu fight, especially. Just... goddamn.
I know I should leave it at that, since this is your day, but I have a few nagging questions... especially since after reading in the video description how you've learned so much more about the game.
-Two or three times, it seemed like you intentionally held a lvl4 for a while instead of immediately releasing it for a boss reversal. Is there a scoring quirk there?
-Against Marisa's boss attack that fans out in two waves, you dodge toward the outside. Why not take the first gap to the side of under-center? Too confining if other bullets coincide with the attack?
-With remaining lives against Yumemi... what are your thoughts on suiciding for score? 1mil is so small for a remaining life bonus, and if the ai's spent a while at half a heart - to where you get that feeling that it's about to go down - it seems like it'd be better to suicide and play another round. Surely too crazy of a risk with Chiyuri and probably even Kana, and it'd be kind of silly with Yumemi and probably Reimu and Rikako (though scoring with ai-killers is kind of silly to begin with), but otherwise... well, I'm curious what you think and if you've toyed with this.
-How can you play a game for so long and with so much love and still use an emu that abuses the music? My heart weeps.
By the way: crosses hiding bullets, effectively ending the potential no-miss run, is total and complete ass. So close; you're going to get it eventually, without a doubt. Especially when even facing Chiyuri must be so easy for you now, since you just sat there and took a laser up the butt so you could live a little on the edge and give yourself at least the semblance of a challenge. [sorry, I had to; it was too funny.]
edit: caught up with the past three weeks of hs and rage threads... seconding Lepetit.
unrelated: i got a kick out of that pofv reply. no edit is safe, no matter how old!
-
Seems like amazing things have happened again, congratulations to everyone! Happy to see that Zil's pain has ended.
-
About the lvl4 holding, there is indeed a deadly glitch that I'm paranoid about. I'm pretty sure it can only happen if the boss you're trying to repel was itself a boss reversal for the enemy. What happen is if you use your lvl4 too soon, the game apparently thinks your first boss is still there and you end up using a lvl3. I usually just end up waiting until the enemy's boss has fully appeared, just to be safe about it. (On a somewhat related note, if you use a lvl2 or lvl3 too quickly after you trigger an automatic boss attack, you negate your own boss attack. That's something I also try to avoid.)
For Marisa's boss attack, yeah that's basically it. The gaps are bigger further out, and rushing straight to one side is usually a safe thing to do, since everything is going to be aimed where you were. If you stay closer to the center while going through that, it's more likely that you'll take a big cluster of bullets to the face.
Suicides against Yumemi are without a doubt a good thing. I think I suicided twice in that 98mil Mima run, for instance. In this run though, since it was already apparent that I'd get over 100mil, I figured I'd let her lose. Suiciding would have almost certainly been better for my score even if I ended up with a game over, but I really wanted to beat the game at the same as getting 100mil.
And this is the only emulator that works for me. And barely, at that! That's what all the pausing is about at the start of every stage.
Anyway, thanks everyone!
-
You're absolutely insane, you know that? Don't start longing for 110 now or something. Geez, congratulations.
-
Go for 125 imo Zil
Nicer number
If you like big scores you could always revert back to PoFV, I know there are some 300M scores somewhere in the globe (or I'm mixing up another game)

Unfortunately, no. Some Japanese player called K.M supposedly has a score of 119 million. It's also like 10 years old or something. http://web.archive.org/web/20081207001518/http://www.ht-net21.ne.jp/~perry/score.html
I wonder what 途中で残機つぶし means.
I'll beat it eventually I suppose, but I'll take another break from PoDD for now. Probably put a serious effort into some Psikyo game or something.

Going with the context of the entire comment, it seems like he had no Misses up until Yumemi, then started going through Extra Lives from that point forth.

EoSD Lunatic 1cc ! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26343)
First lunatic clear ever, I wanted it to be EoSD. Overall run wasn't so bad, except one silly death during stage 4 streaming.
1B1D Meiling, perfect stage 5 midboss, 12 spellcards captured, "only" used 3 bombs on Scarlet Gensokyo and finished with 1/0.
Also, I was angry after game overing with like 5% left on SG during previous attempt :V
*runs out laughing like a madman*

Nice work! EoSD is already decently hard to 1cc, so the rest of the series aside from SA/UFO should be easily doable now. You can do it!

Ah, alright. I gathered that much from the first line and where says he finished with zero lives, but Google Translate made that part sound very strange.
So anyway. No-Bomb 1cc with Rikako. (http://i.imgur.com/QkQGF.jpg) I guess the picture doesn't actually show that but whatever. I decided to try some "survival" runs for a change. Also did a 1MNB run with Yumemi, so I guess I could NMNB the whole game with some luck. I wonder which less broken characters I could no-bomb with though.
Congrats Reiko on the first Lunatic clear. Very good choice of game for it, yes.

Do you think a no-damage run (bombs allowed) would be doable?
-
good work, now go perfect stage 4 :V you know you want to.
I'm almost certain that I'm going to perfect stage 6 before I perfect stage 4. There are just so many places where the RNG can screw you over. Momiji, Saruta Cross, Aya's third non, and PWG. And I'm terrible at Momiji and all of Aya's spell cards to boot so... Yes, even Terukuni. I can't capture that thing to save my life for some reason. Compare that to Stage 6, where the only parts that the RNG can really screw you over is the final death fairy (stage is pretty short though), sometimes Kanako's third non, though I'm not sure if I'm just doing it wrong at times, Yamato Torus, and very rarely Source of Rains. I can actually capture Kanako's opener 50-66% of the time now, and VoWG is getting easier for me. I can now manage a 4DNB timeout on good days, so I'm sure that I can manage a few more captures if I fix some of my movement mistakes during the early phases. Kind of sad that MoF stage 4 is harder to me than MoF stage 6 :V
Edit: Oh, and I just decided to dick around in SA before dinner and nabbed a BoWaP timeout on my first try. It's a lot less intimidating now :V
-
why is it sad that stage 4 is harder? SA stage 4 and 5 are also harder than its stage 6, and while debatable, I think UFO stage 5 is harder than stage 6, too. the same applies to PCB stage 5 and 6. half of the games have harder stage 4s or 5s.
as for a perfect stage 6 MoF: spell, my capture rate on VoWG is 3/120 or so. you don't need to be good at the spell, you just need to not mess up when it counts :V
also, saruta cross isn't as RNG reliant as sotrm day or PWG. I never saw it do something even remotely impossible. just saying
-
Do you think a no-damage run (bombs allowed) would be doable?
Ha, I was thinking about how feasible that would be as well. I say yes, definitely. It's probably something I'll go after with Yumemi at some point, and maybe other characters as well in the distant future.
Also you should totally get around to beating this game on Lunatic yourself, Karisa. You said you intended to, and I think it'd be cool.
-
> not getting hit ever.
if I tried that in PoFV or PoDD, I'd probably smash my head into the keyboard at some point. not to mention I play Komachi and Chiyuri respectively, which makes things in both games just a bit harder due to various reasons. anyone who ever pulls that off will be revered by me :V not that it's worth much.
also, me playing with a fast character > we all know how this is going to be.
1cc'ing PoDD on lunatic is a goal definitely worth going for. I say don't hesistate, karisa :V I also expect myself so seriously try it this year. I have too many plans for this year x.x

It might just be my inexperience at some games, but I've generally found stage 6 to be the toughest stage in every game save for MoF and SA. I can see the argument for why UFO stage 5 is harder than Byakuren, though it's near equal for me (Cloudy Way, 2nd non, DR, LFS vs Greatest Treasure, end stage spam, RTG, 2nd non, Vajra), but otherwise it's only those 2 games. I'm probably just splitting hairs though. I guess I've just always been intimidated by final bosses prior to really sitting down and attempting to no bomb MoF.
And Saruta cross doesn't give out completely impossible crap like PWG, but the RNG has this annoying tendency to give you bullets that stack on top of one another, which pisses me off to no end. I've never once been intimidated by storm day. It's always possible and not terribly tough.
-
Also you should totally get around to beating this game on Lunatic yourself, Karisa. You said you intended to, and I think it'd be cool.
Probably at some point, now that I have an actually working recording method (thanks for suggesting Debut, I'd never heard of it before that).
On the topic of MoF stage 4, I'd consider it by far the most difficult stage in the game. I wouldn't really consider UFO or PCB stage 5 to be harder than their corresponding stage 6, but it might be the case for MS Lunatic where Yumeko gets insane while Shinki doesn't change much.
Edit: I now have decent consistency at finishing IN Lunatic stage 1 with over 10,000 time orbs (350,000 point item value). Not that it means much when I don't have enough consistency at stage 2, but it feels nice, and it may help towards my goal of 3.4 billion.
-
So how long exactly does it take for Aya to die? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJPkK9iKXTg)
Got to 4 minutes a bit after that and she was chillin' with full hits.
(By the way, which character reflects bullets the fastest? Is it Aya? Because I tried playing AS Aya but that was terrible.)
-
The Lunatic AI lasts indefinitely. Or rather, it doesn't weaken over time. It has to get unlucky and trap itself to get hit. Having said that, Marisa's lasers are somewhat capable of trapping it, though Aya's speed probably makes her harder to hit than any other character. Her attacks are relatively easy to avoid, at least. Ultimately you'll need extreme luck to beat her.
About your second question, I'm not sure what you're asking. As far as I'm aware, the speed of a reflected bullet is determined by (perhaps even identical to) the speed at which it was initially fired. It doesn't matter who reflected them. So things like Reimu's lvl2 or Eiki's boss attack get sent back super fast, while Medicine's stuff is very slow, etc.
So I did another No-Bomb run in PoDD last night. This time with Reimu, on the first try after the Rikako run. I even had an extra life remaining. I guess Kotohime's my next target. She has the advantage of safe boss attacks and a demonic lvl1, but it'll take forever to win battles. Mima is also a possibility.

I have done it...I have finally done it!
Over three months of pain, over two hundred attempts at this card in a game without Spell Practice...but it is finally done.

(http://i.imgur.com/0mLjP.png)
MS normal 1cc with Mima! It wasn't that notable of a run, with a few deaths here and there on every boss starting with Alice (although I think I didn't die on any stage portion except stage 5). My perfect Alice and 1M Yumeko run would have been more awesome to clear, but I failed on the stages and especially badly on Yuki/Mai. :ohdear: I'm really liking LLS and MS now, though (awesome music, awesome characters); it's a shame ZUN doesn't want to remake them.
I also 1cc'd LLS normal with MarisaA on saturday (I think), but no screenie of that one. :V

speaking from experience, I assume?
anyway, good job on the NMNB stage 4. I tried and failed. may be because I suck, may be because I haven't played the game since forever. can't really tell.
and of course, congratz to malky, too. I never even captured that thing. timing it out is amazing
and congratz to RNG for his NBNT TD run. having a perfect stage or two (late game) in mandatory for a run to suceed in that game, so good job.
-
My money's on Marisa.
Why is that? Because she gets extra spell charge, perhaps? That is a good point, actually.
Well, I did yet another no bomb run. Kotohime this time. The colors are being screwy again. This is what the game looked like while playing. (http://i.imgur.com/0lDG0.jpg) It's actually kind of cool this time. Everything's black, red, and purple. Much better than the eye melting neon hell that I usually get.
Congrats Malky and RNG. Awesome stuff.

I have practiced a bit of Mountain of Faith Lunatic scoring recently. My faith gains aren't very optimized but so far I'm 25k off the world record in terms of faith on Stage 1, 2 and 3 which means i'd probably be at 900-925,000 faith at Stage 4 if everything goes according to plan.
Stage 3 is oddly enough the easiest level for me so far to get decent faith in but it makes up for it by having a little spell called Hydro Camouflage that unfortunately still kills me about half the time but that spell will definitely not be the only thing killing me and ruining a run but it's one of the few really dangerous ones.

I just auto-bomb it. Have you done a no-death run yet? There's not much point in trying to go for the harder captures in MoF if you haven't already done one, considering the game's huge penalty for dying. At least in my opinion. I'd be much more concerned about surviving stage 4, personally, especially since there's even less room for error if you're trying to keep enough power to bomb for stage 5's point items.
Edit:
OK, I've never captured Lunatic Kaguya's 4th last spell outside of spell practice, so I'll just try to supergraze it so at least I'll get some time orbs before I... wait, did I seriously just do that?
(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee487/KarisaMirisame/kaguya4th86104000.png)
I then proceeded to fail Rising World for the second time ever (first was my first 1cc), but still, this was way beyond my 3.4 billion target. And I feel as good about it as I did after most of my first Lunatic 1ccs. I think I may upload a video of this.

I've basically never played EoSD Lunatic before. Well maybe I did once, but that must have been a loooong time ago.

...
[21:56:56] <@Nereid> clear 1/0
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26407
I guess that's all the Windows games taken care of. Now I never have to play this awful game again.
-
I just auto-bomb it. Have you done a no-death run yet? There's not much point in trying to go for the harder captures in MoF if you haven't already done one, considering the game's huge penalty for dying.
I haven't no-missed the game before but that is not relevant here i think. My scoring goals are high so I can't just take myself the luxury to bomb away things just because they are hard. The only spell I plan on bombing is Peerless Wind God. Peerless Wind God is the hardest spell in the game and something I don't want to risk. I estimate that I can reach a capture rate of approximately 50% on Hydro Camouflage but of course, if it makes my life too miserable when I get to doing full runs I might cut it out of my planning but for now, I plan to capture everything in Stage 3 even if it will take some restarts to get through Stage 3.
I don't intend to settle for less than 1.75 billion and I'm hoping to get somewhere in the vicinity of 2 billion sometime in the future.
-
Oh, I guess you have a different way of playing than I do... or perhaps it's just because you're better at dodging, since I'd probably be trying to capture it myself if I had a 50% capture rate on it. My own history is like 5/70 or something.
Good luck on your high scoring goals.
-
Spellcard histories don't often do a very good job at properly portraying the frequency with which you capture things I find. My capture rate is 65/196 which is about 33% though this doesn't take into account that I've been messing around with Lunatic modes since 2009 and that this spell has been an auto-bomb card at one time, nor does it take into account that i've pacified the thing before and have been attempting to do it again to practice it. Instead, i generally keep mental logs about my capture rates instead of relying on the spellcard history. Like if I play the spell 10 times and capture it 5 times, i count on capturing it about half the time.
-
What, you think I rely on spellcard histories that much? I know they can be distorted like that. Like my history for most of Keine's cards is below half (56/118 21/77 19/73 29/65 25/62 19/37), even though I capture most of them nearly all the time now, from times when I kept continue-spamming IN Lunatic before I'd cleared Normal, as well as not learning strategies for certain spells for a while when going for my Lunatic 1cc. But still, 5 captures ever out of some large number of attempts gives a pretty good indication I'd think. I have similarly low capture rates on pretty much the entire Aya battle, which combined with Momiji/post-Momiji is why my main concern is surviving stage 4.
I guess that's good for anyone else who's reading this thread and hadn't already thought of that to know, anyway.
-
I didn't mean to imply that you rely on spellcard records that much, it was not my intention. You just went and mentioned your spell history and I wanted to say that mine was also relatively low but that I expected to survive with greater probability than my capture record would indicate.
I get some negative vibes from your post and if you've been annoyed by my unintended insinuations then I apologize. :)

Trying to get motivated to play Touhou 12, and just got to stage 5 where i got raped so hard on lunatic. I can do stages 1-4 but memorising stage 5 is a bit of a pain to just practice, i would have to start from stage 1 over again to just get to stage 5 where i can practice on.
I feel like its a hassle to unlock the stage on practice mode, anyone cared to upload a score.dat with 1cc of SanaeB on lunatic?
-
No.
Have a score.dat with a multi-cc on lunatic :V

I unlocked every stage past 2 via continue spamming, and first credit after that game overed to Devil's Recitation.

Awesome 1cc of EoSD Hard with Marisa A. Now for Lunatic. :derp:
-
EoSD No-bomb MarisaA progress is going smoothly. Made it to The World, almost perfected Patchouli. If Sakuya doesn't do dumb things I might be able to make it to stage 6 real soon.
Oh, and here's one that makes it to Remilia (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26412).

Take my advice and never die to Mid Meiling or twice to Eternal Meek. Everything should work itself out from there. :V
-
I gave it a shot too and got to Vampire Illusion. With Reimu-A I'd usually reach Meister but I think this run went terribly overall so hopefully I can clear before the end of the week.
By the way RNG, I timed out Sakuya before she could use Meek. Not 100% sure if It's a good idea yet since sometimes you'll have to go through the red kunai walls, but the Meek safespot is unreliable as all hell and Meek itself is obviously really hard. Just throwing it out there.
-
Sakuya at S6 is a gamble no matter what you choose to do, unfortunately. I just do everything normally.

Here's one with absolutely everything unlocked, with clean spell histories and score data: scoreth12.dat (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/33903796/th_unlock/th12/scoreth12.dat)
-
Well, after a bit more practice I made it to Scarlet Meister (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26416). There are some pretty silly dodges throughout, especially in the Patchouli fight (which I NMNBed).
-
I decided to give EoSD NFNB a try without much practice.
Stage 3: mistake on midboss, could have been easily avoided
Stage 4: die to koakuma, die to spam before patchy, 4 misses in total
Stage 5: 2 misses, first one a clip
Stage 6: die to meek last second, game over to Remi
Stage 4 definitely could be much better. I need to figure out a way to do the pre-patchy spam with ReimuA. That death on patchy was stupid, too.
Stage 5 could have been better, but 1-2 misses is generally okay.
Stage 6 I haven't practiced unfocused yet. It was a train wreck of clipdeaths.
Also I did a regular NB couple days ago with ReimuB again. It has 7 misses but a higher score than my ReimuB NB from two months ago. I died twice to patchy's last and twice to meister, it was dumb.
And eternal meek. I do reccommend facing it in an actual run because it gives you an indication on your chances of clearing. I found that if meek is captured I generally clear.
-
I got the Marisa-A 1cc first try on the stream (and second try overall!)
Don't ask me how the fuck because I was 100% sure I'd game over before even seeing Sakuya. Maybe pessimism is the way to victory.
Highlights includes a 1-miss Patchouli, Dodging through 2 kunai walls at the same time in stage 6, a Meister capture and some solid Gensokyo dodges (though no capture and I blame nerves)
Still need to play better than this to complete a decent score run, though :ohdear:

You got a no bomb? Congrats! Marisa sure is fast in EoSD, you truly deserved it.
I wish I was as good as you. I can only clear with the easy shot types.

I can only clear with the easy shot types.
I don't think there is an easy shot type. I've tried No-Bomb with ReimuA several times and although her Patchouli fight is easier, The fairy trio before Patchouli as well as the wall fairies in stage 5 are a total gamble as far as I can tell. Plus she's weak.
Thanks, though!

Well, I decided to go into the Last Word section of IN spell practice for the first time in I don't know how long (never cared much for spell-practice-only cards), and captured nearly everything I hadn't already captured. None of them except Alice's, Kaguya's, and Yukari's took more than 10 attempts.
I still can't seem to survive beyond a few waves of Reimu's though.

Another ten days or so of Touhou hiatus - that makes a bit over two months in the six I've been playing. Or rather, four. Lazy old me
At any rate I tried SA Lunatic once, and I got to Orin for the first time. In fact, simultaneously got to Utsuho's second spell - I hadn't even reached stage 5 before. That clear's within arm's reach now.

A minor accomplishment - perfect Normal Patchouli (http://youtu.be/xGa3yhCxVsA), using the EoSD replay patch. I managed to die during the stage portion, but frankly I don't care. I only needed two attempts.
Now, is there a patch that would let you practice stages with max lives?
-
You can use Cheat Engine (http://cheatengine.org/) with the cheat tables linked in Drake's thread (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,197.0.html).
-
To add to that, you can use Cheat Engine to lock the life count at a certain value to prevent the need to set it every time you restart. I'm pretty sure it'll desync replays though (edit: that is, Cheat Engine in general usually desyncs replays, unless you have the same cheat set up when playing back the replay).
Alternately, there's always the option of setting the in-game starting lives to 5, though of course that only gives you two extra lives beyond default.
-
I'm so glad to be able to post in this thread again :D
Because I just 1cc'd TD on Normal with Reimu! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26459)
-
aww, poor zengeku :V I'm playing for more than 3.5 by now, and I haven't no bombed any game, so really. that's still something
To make matters worse, all my no-bombs runs suck. It's not so bad though, it just means I've got plenty of things to work on. So don't you go poor Zengeku on me!! :V
If you are not going to 90FPS NMNB Shou then I demand that you do No-bombs 90FPS UFO. You are allowed ufo tokens of course :P
-
Alternately, there's always the option of setting the in-game starting lives to 5, though of course that only gives you two extra lives beyond default.
This doesn't seem to work, though. The extra lives just don't show up in stage practice.
Anyway, here's an achievement all right: I finally managed to get AppLocale to work with the EoSD Vsync patch. Or rather, I accidentally left a "t" in the executable's name and finally noticed and removed that today. This immediately led to my first capture of Red Magic ever. Funny how my first ever Touhou clear was EoSD with no Vsync patch installed. No wonder it took me five months to do that.
-

OK, I guess that isn't an option. I'd never tried it, but I didn't see any reason why it wouldn't work. Weird.

still better than not having one at all. yeah, work on them. I think you could pull a NB run of MoF with maybe 4 deaths or so, which is, I'd say, pretty impressive. similar for SA. if you don't go all trainwreck on stage 5 like last time :P
NB 90 fps UFO? you first. no seriously, I just tried and game over'd on stage 2. ask people like Zil to do this for you :V I will give it a few shots as far as I am concerned, but don't expect too much out of it. it already sounds ridiculous, seeing how I fail to 1cc MoF on 90 fps. and I am using bombs there :V
-
In a break from MoF to get some variety, i managed to get a No-miss, no-bombs pacifist run of Stage 3 in Ten Desires. The stage was boring as sin but Yoshika is a lot of fun so I had a good time doing this. I'll record it soon enough. Oh and Kogasa. As much as you are a perfectly awesome love doll in youkai form, you are really being a pain in the butt in this stage. So could you be as kind as to fuck off? I lost more attempts to Umbrella Cyclone clipping than to anything Yoshika had.
NB 90 fps UFO? you first.
I have learned my lesson. No more 90FPS shenanigans for me. Sometimes I might forget that lesson but this isn't one of them. It's all up to you :3 Not that I expect anything of course. Clearing a game like UFO without bombs is a pretty alright feat to begin with and doing it at 90FPS is just insane.
As for the NB runs, yeah i've got quite a few things I want to do. Improving my NB runs is among them. I'm not going to do anything with my MoF run though. I'd rather play that for score than NB'ing. Maybe I'll improve my NB on it once I have a satisfactory score but that is almost pointless since the only hard thing in MoF i'm allowed to bomb in a score run is Momiji.
Oh and on topic of SA, look at this little beast of a replay that came out today people: http://score.royalflare.net/th11/replay11/th11_ud11c0.rpy

PCB Lunatic was being mean, so I cleared IN Hard with Scarlet Team (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26466).
That makes this game 1cc'd with all teams in Hard Mode.
This run was ugly, except maybe stage 5. But still, it's something I've been trying for quite some time, so it's kind of an accomplishment.
Also, it's a relief to get something done after failing so much Touhou stuff these last days.
Congrats to Cactu for LNB of all games, to L3PiK for Extra stage perfect, and to everyone else. Keep up the good work :)
-
So I sat down and decided "You know what? Let's try Hard with Solo Marisa in IN." And then 1cced it. What.
Reimu was annoying to do, though, because of her familiars. Those are especially bad in her first nonspell.

I've looked on Royalflare and don't believe there is one. Considering the books and randomness on Remilia I doubt it's been done.

Oh and 2-death timeout of Mokou's final non. I'm too slow. Tried it randomly. It's the best i've done on it. Survived for almost 30 seconds without getting hit. I think I could probably do a full timeout of it, the problem is it's quite a long way into Mokou so it's gonna be a pain to grind. I guess I'll take a few stabs at it every once in a while.

Do you mean going into that "alcove" on the left? I've found that to be very effective, though often I don't quite make it there for the sixth wave (second wave after the 30-second mark) and end up failing the card because of that.
@L3PiK: 900 million without bombing the stage portion? That's a higher score than most of the MoF Extra perfects I've seen. Nice job.

Cleared EoSD Extra with the rank locked at 48 (max rank is 18 normally) using Cheat Engine. Finished 0/2 I think.
It's an interesting challenge. Just about all of the bullets in the stage are sped up, a few patterns like the pre-Patchouli death fairy and Silent Selene are less predictable due to the bullet limit, and Flandre's nonspell firing rate is so much higher that some of the nonspells and Four of a Kind can actually be pretty dangerous. If you think EoSD Extra could use a higher difficulty setting, without making some patterns impossible like ultra patches tend to do, it may be worth a try. Replays desync though.

While not much really influences me to play Touhou as of late, I did rediscover Phantasm Romance
and its awesome music. Had to reacquaint myself with how to get Danmakufu to work, but it works. I start the script on Extra 1 (I never knew you could select stages before tonight), and after several attempts I manage to capture Yukari's first card. You know, the one with those blue snake things that follow you closely and is surprisingly wonky to do correctly. This session reminded me why I'm not fond of Danmakufu and why Phantasm Romance is really the only thing I find worth playing on it, but it was still fun to regain as much ground as I did.
Quick question: does anyone have the Sakuya, first Mima, and Extra 3 music files for Phantasm Romance? I ran into this issue the first time I got it, before my old hard drive went poof, but now I can't seem to find any other copies of the game with those files.

Vajra: 1/151 --> 3/153

-
Attempted a few more rounds of VoWG again. Aside from the absolutely sad game overs that I sometimes get, I got 3 more 2DNB timeouts out of like 5 or so attempts. I seem to have a death every 60 seconds or so, assuming that the card is 150 seconds long. But it's definitely progress, as I couldn't even manage 2DNB a week ago. Hopefully I can figure out how to dodge the last few waves that I'm getting tripped up on and get that down to 1DNB soon. Progress!

Double Spoiler is up for verification again on SDA. The final total time is 44:53.77. Be sure to sign up for that if you either participated in the project or want to see the run published before 2014 :V
Also, when I was going for 12-6, I found that if you save like 5 replays every time, you increase your chances for a working replay significantly, I never once got out empty-handed after I started doing that.

I have good news and bad news.
The good news is AN EFFING SA LUNATIC 1CC, F*** YEAH
I even had a life to spare. I am so extremely happy with this. Did some really cool stuff (by my standards at least), like capturing Vengeful Cannibal Spirit and Blazing Wheel for the first time.
The bad news is, my replay is completely and utterly messed up. Everything goes fine and well until Utsuho's first nonspell starts. Then (I think) the replay shows me performing the motions I made in Uncontainable Nuclear Reaction, not the first nonspell. Needless to say, as the first nonspell is still ongoing, I die horribly several times, game overing not too far into the first spell. Despite this there's still a shiny "ALL CLEAR" label on the ReimuA Lunatic shot type, and the replay is still marked as "All", not "St6", as portrayed underneath.
I don't care too much right now though :D :D :D Just UFO left now!

A non-sped-up replay starting from stage 5 will put Utsuho's fight back into synth.

Actually you can speed up until the very end of stage 5. Once the "transition" ends, you can even speed up at stage 6 and it won't desync. Of course, there's a chance that won't work and the replay is permanently desynced, but it depends on the replay itself (it also has to do if your game slowed down in the beginning of Utsuho fight, which happened to a friend's replay and I never could see his Utsuho fight).

Speed... up? The replay? As in fast forward?
...I am truly a philistine regarding technology.

Pressing Ctrl. The same button for skipping fast through dialogue.

If I recall correctly, you can't speed up replays without the vsynch patches.

I'm slowly getting proficient at... EoSD Normal Stage 3. Seriously. Meiling's last two spells used to kill me all the time - a big obstacle if I'm ever going to take my plans of a No Bombs 1cc seriously. Fortunately I managed to perfect the stage several times in a row now, so perhaps there's some hope.
-
Hmm, got a great progress on MoF Extra today. I just randomly started working on it, and in like 1 hour and half I improved my no-bombs result from a game over to a 2-deaths run. It won't take me long to perfect it, if I only stop pussying at Suwa War and Jade idkwhat River.
If I recall correctly, you can't speed up replays without the vsynch patches.
Go player a non-EoSD Touhou. :V
-
MoF+ replays can be fast-forwarded by holding Ctrl whether you're using the vsync patch or not.
EoSD to IN replays can only be Ctrl-fast-forwarded if you're using the vsync patch. It works a little differently in that the game displays 240fps in the corner when fast-forwarding, but has the same effect.
PoFV replays can't be fast-forwarded as far as I know. They can still be sped up using the vsync patch to set to 90fps/120fps/whatever, but you can't adjust the speed that way while the game is running.
No idea about StB.
Also if starting from stage 5 doesn't fix the Utsuho desync, try starting from stage 1. That should determine if the replay is permanently broken or not.
-
You can do some sort of boss mode for PCB and IN replays, which fast forwards through stage portions

Timed out Greatest Treasure. :] (http://youtu.be/ZkjJxoX3Lg4)

So I went to time out Sakuraiji in Flames, Futo's Complete Clarification-esque card. It took one try.
That, of course, wasn't enough for me.
So I did it again at 90 FPS. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syfCYov3up0)

EoSD LNB with MarisaB.
Arrive at Sakuya with 7 lives, however, due to embarrassing performance on stage 6, cleared with 0.
That is 3/4 shot-types done. I am going at a snail's pace. I think I NMNB'd Patchy, which is my first with this shot.

Well done.

Today is a good day. I feel like I can NBNT this if I practiced stage 2 more.

Hell yes, Perfect MoF Extra (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26568). I kinda felt bad for not perfecting "the Extra that everyone perfects", so I had to do this.

Alright then, Lotus Land Story's Extra cleared! That's my first PC-98 Extra clear so far. Hopefully Mystic Square's isn't that far behind.

Got a NMNB stage 3 and a 1MNB stage 4 in an EoSD Hard no-bombs attempt. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26582)
It's a bit silly to say, but I'm quite proud of the dodges I pulled off in this run. Too bad I failed miserably stage 5 (5 deaths, really ?) and 6 (killed by Remi's second non, really ?).
I probably won't clear any other Lunatic modes any time soon, but at least I'm having a blast playing this game.
Grats Denpa on the LNB, good luck for the 4/4 :3

Holy. Jesus. Fuck. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26583)
NMNBNUFO UFO Extra. Took me like, 15 minutes. Even though I hadn't played this Extra in more than a month, and was completely unconfident. My right hand was trembling at the end. I still can't believe this. This is also my first no-bombs run on her. BV
-
MS Extra clear. (http://i.imgur.com/bvfogJP.jpg)
It's been while since I posted here so I figure I should mention something. Reached the 300 point item extend and scored over 170 million. Died twice though. Purple lasers have dumb hitboxes.
-
PoFV replays can't be fast-forwarded as far as I know. They can still be sped up using the vsync patch to set to 90fps/120fps/whatever, but you can't adjust the speed that way while the game is running.
Ctrl and shift work in PoFV. Same vpatch.ini settings: ReplaySkipFPS and ReplaySlowFPS.
-
Perhaps to make up for the cruelty MS's Extra showed me earlier, I 1cced PoFV with Medicine and PoDD with Kana, both on Normal. I guess today is "use the characters that pretty much only show up in the game they first appeared" day.
Losing two lives to Yumemi, though... that kind of hurt. I guess that's what happens when the Chiyuri fight goes a lot better than usual (as in I usually die because her level 4 attack is freaking nuts).
-
All shots done for MoF hard... one day that will say UFO instead.
-
2DNB EoSD Normal (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26598), continuing toward one of my side goals to 3DNB or better various Touhou games on Normal. Deaths were to Marionette and Red Magic. The only games I have left I never even bothered trying this in because I didn't think I needed more consistency at Normal survival, so they probably wouldn't take very long if I ever do try.

Timed out Avian Danmaku Transformation at 90fps. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUmtw0zk4Aw)

UFO Lunatic No Bomb 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26602) =o
Video (http://youtu.be/Ajhx5B0-JvY)
Cleared with 0 lives left.
Highlights: Captured Vajra with 3 seconds left. Didn't die on Byakuren until the second last card.
Low points: Died on Byakuren's second last card. And twice on Shou's final. Actually, stage 5 went pretty poorly all around. Also, 3 deaths in stage 2.
I'm kinda thinking I want to do NBNUFO but that is probably just way too hard so I may as well give up now. I need a break from games anyway.
Holy. Jesus. Fuck. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26583)
Awesome, congrats!

Timed out Avian Danmaku Transformation at 90fps. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUmtw0zk4Aw)
Yeah, I remember this being really fun. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=19262) So fun that I tried it at 105fps too back then. I thought I managed it but I guess not since the replay doesn't exist.
So I ended up picking up the slack and trying this at 120fps (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I190tfK4InU). ... Thanks a lot. :V

MoF normal no-bombs done! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26606) :D
Stupid deaths on Wind God Hidden in Leaves and Guest Stars prevented me from perfecting Aya and stage 5, respectively, and the stage portion of stage 6 went really terribly as well (died twice and played pretty stupidly all over it). Perfect Kanako battle makes up for it, though. :D
Overall, I died only five times (the last one was post-Momiji, and it's the only one that doesn't annoy me) and captured 22/24 cards. Pretty proud of this one.

Oh. My. God.

Over 250. :ohdear:

First attempt at Phantasm Romance for the day, made it all the way to the last part of Shinki's secret phase (see attached). It's been ages since I've seen that part of the game, so trying to do things on the fly didn't work out especially well, though I was able to keep track of my resources during it. I'm still quite proud of this run overall, hence why it's in here despite not getting the full clear (and a few obvious mistakes in places I normally survive >.<)
-
Some small achievements:
EoSD Normal No Miss No Bomb.
Capturing EoSD Lunatic stage four green books on max rank.
-
Got within 0.11 seconds of Seiga's 9-4 speedrun in DS, this got me really excited. Would feel nice to go sub 45 minutes with my own IL times at some point.
-
Considering some people were doing challenge runs, I figured I'd do a no-focus of PCB on Normal (I'm not doing challenge runs on Hard yet). And guess what? Without any practice beforehand or any retries, I pulled it off (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26613). Granted, VSync and ReimuB helped a lot. But I did it.
I really should've have saved that as a user-defined replay, but I didn't know PCB accepted user-defined replays...

So apparently all of that UFO LNBNUFO training raised my skill level by so much, that I can just go back to IN Extra stage for the heck of it, thinking to start training and just do a random run to get back the feeling what's it like and out of nowhere I improved my old highscore from 2.02B to 2.09B without even playing this game for 7 months. Aaand I captured rings of death, this all with just a random run with no restarts.
What
The
Fuck.
I thought it would take me a long time to get back my skill but apparently muscle memory is OP as shit.

Yeah come at me Seiga :V
For what it's worth, I would probably not have gotten this far if not for your efforts. I went into this expecting it to be extremely optimized and very hard to beat, but 9-4 allows for very creative route making, (taking into account such things as having the helix bounce more often it will spawn more bullets->more cancelling->faster time). Also I wasn't planning on adding this and the few other scenes I improved since I submitted to SDA already, mostly because it would be a tad rude of me to do so, I think. However, if you beat this I personally have no issues at all with including that.

Surprised it could be improved that much though, most of those 17642 were trying out new things and seeing what worked. If I wasn't sick of touhou right now, I might actually watch the replay to see what you did.

I'll bump the Double Spoiler thread on SDA and post new level times there once the current submission has been published/verified. I've currently improved 6 scenes since the submission, and I guess it could be worth making another submission once the overall time hits sub 44:40 (or 44:30 maybe???). Since that can take a really long time (depending on how many players join in I guess) you could return to this later if you wish.

Wow, Reimu-A was the last shottype I would have expected to beat Hard Mode Youmu with using not a single Bomb, breaking only two borders on purpose (one right at the beginning of her second NS-Pattern, second one on the first wave of her last Spellcard). Entered with zero Bombs, six Extra Lifes, left in the same state, though, of course, that also meant that I had no Bomb for the Stage 6 spam.
Having restarted once in Stage 1, that's also PCB Hard cleared on my second try, I was expecting lots and lots of trouble due to Reimu-A's low damage output, but this was a pleasant surprise. Wonder how I'll fare on Marisa, hope I won't run into trouble since she starts with only two Bombs.
-
Fujiyama Volcano NFNV capture with Alice solo (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26626). Took like 6 attempts, so I probably can timeout this card under no-vertical condition, but I'm too lazy right now to do so.
-
Well, I beat by MS Extra score. Something like 187 million this time.
So anyway. As of today I guess I've been playing Touhou for two years. I don't have anything fancy to to say about it, but I'll mention it since people seem to do that. What's interesting though is that after the first year, I would've said that it really didn't feel like I'd been playing that long. More like half a year. Now that it's been two years, I think I feel the opposite way. It feels like I've been playing for over three years or something. Not sure what's up with that. It probably has something to do with my joining this forum, and my soul being consumed by PoDD.
I'll bump the Double Spoiler thread on SDA and post new level times there once the current submission has been published/verified. I've currently improved 6 scenes since the submission, and I guess it could be worth making another submission once the overall time hits sub 44:40 (or 44:30 maybe???). Since that can take a really long time (depending on how many players join in I guess) you could return to this later if you wish.
I might get back into that if you started it up again. I hope to start scoring in that game again as well. I wonder if I still have the best time for that one Ichirin scene.
-

Good to hear, I look forward to seeing you at the front in the future! In the current submission, only Apathy's scenes have been completely obsoleted, I did post the replays for those scenes a couple of months ago so I hope that doesn't come as a surprise.
Also congratulations on your anniversary, your PoDD work is quite mind boggling!

Got a NMNB stage 4 in EoSD Hard (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26631).

Hooray. I won. I'm pretty happy right now, the wall that caused a two-month hiatus for me (Scarlet Gensokyo Scarlet Gensokyo Scarlet Gensokyo 「スカレットげんそうきょう」 Scarlet Gensokyo Scarlet Gensokyo fuck you seriously at least I can bomb through Scarlet Meister) is now but a hurdle behind me. I've cleared 6, 7, 8, and 10 now. So I've dug through the candy and pillows only to find that all that's left is the used syringes, hay, needles, and maybe an occasional "Get out of winning free" card, which isn't optional to use. If I have to go after anything next, I'm going after SA because while it's dickish and I'm much further along in UFO, UFO is just an asshole and TD bores me for reasons including gameplay.
TLDR version: I finally got a Lunatic 1cc of EoSD and I'm super duper happy :>
And regarding my hiatus as far as here goes, I apologize for that. I just haven't had as much interest as I used to with this place. I might show up for a while and start posting again but I haven't as much free time as I wish I used to. I have piano lessons, I have a full schedule of high school work, lots of stuff I hate as much as I love. Once I beat UFO Lunatic, I don't know what I'm going to do next because there will probably be nothing left unless I want to start scoring, which I feel may cause the desire to have an aneurysm much faster than the constant losing against Remilia.
I don't remember if I've posted a list here or not, so I'm making an excel spreadsheet because why not

Cleared th07 Lunatic with ReimuB 4 days ago. 11 deaths, 34 bombs. At least it's an improvement from 44 bombs.
I also cleared th08 Lunatic with Border Team today. Wonder why I wasn't able to do this earlier. Probably because I didn't turn off Vertical Synchronization.
What should I do next?
-
0 Bombs, 0 Extra Lives, that's what the first Lunatic 1CC has to be like. Congratulations!
At the start of Hourai Jewel I was at 1/2, and decided I wasn't going to risk anything by trying to do the crossovers. I just bombed at the top of the stream every single time, and finished just in time. This was my first time seeing anything of Kaguya's on Lunatic (I've made it to Stage 6 twice before, once died to the opening fairy and once to Apollo 13 on 6A), so I was basically bombing freely, though I did cap Galaxy in a Pot (somehow, I still fail it on Normal often) and Buddhist Diamond. Salamander Shield caught me by surprise with those new lasers and I lost one spare bomb there.
-
My first clear with a self-imposed challenge on top - EoSD Normal No Bombs! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26644)
Perfect stages 1-4 if I recall correctly, then seven really stupid misses on the remaining two, like ramming right into a bullet twice or failing a really simple streaming section. Still, I managed to keep calm when it was really important and captured two of my weakest points - Scarlet Netherworld and Red Magic (it's so beautiful)... but if I hadn't cleared, the start of Remilia fight would have been enough of a reason to hate myself forever.
My hands are still somewhat shaky.
Edit: err, looks like I accidentally started the game with five lives instead of three. But I had two extra lives remaining at the end, so I would have cleared anyway. I still feel stupid about such a simple oversight though...
-
0 Bombs, 0 Extra Lives, that's what the first Lunatic 1CC has to be like. Congratulations!
does that mean my first Lunatic clear is no good? because I ended it with 2/1.
anyay, congratulations to everyone, once again. especially to Ace for that EoSD ReimuA clear; to Goldom for his first lunatic 1cc ever. That's a great milestone, definitely; I suggest MoF or PCB next, but I suppose that's all up to you. As well as to Nereid for his NB UFO 1cc. Good stuff.
-
Yeah, great stuff, Goldom. Do 10D next, get the boring ones out of the way. I'm sure you can do it.
-
Disregard the nonsense posted above, here is the real thing (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26645), with the goddamned starting lives set to three this time. And pretty much the same number of stupid mistakes. Losing two lives on Stage 6 even before Eternal Meek was especially magnificent. Of course nothing can ever go completely right, so I had to mess up my name on high scores...

A round of applause indeed!
Ten Desires would also be my recommendation. As much as I hate to say it, it's a notch under the rest in fun value and it should be a lot more fun without it looming somewhere in the future.
-
Thanks for the compliments and suggestions. "Next" Lunatic is a looong way off though I think, I probably have twice as many hours practicing IN as any other game, and I have yet to even finish Hard in 2/5/11/12/12.8. And I dunno why, but I find 13 a lot harder than most other folks seem to. I don't think I've ever made it through stage 3 on its Lunatic mode, making it my worst of any game I've cleared Hard on. PCB is probably my next best bet, but it's a ways off. Oh, or LLS, that game changes so little with difficulty, I think I'm probably closest there.
-
You don't need to do the game on Hard first, just move straight to Lunatic if that's your eventual goal.
-
Grats on the first Lunatic 1cc, Goldom !
About the next game to clear, I'd just advise that you go for the one you like the most. Don't feel obligated to even clear every game (unless it's a goal you clearly have fixed for yourself), do what you enjoy.
And I dunno why, but I find 13 a lot harder than most other folks seem to. I don't think I've ever made it through stage 3 on its Lunatic mode, making it my worst of any game I've cleared Hard on.
I feel the same (but again, I find PCB Lunatic hard as ****, so I'm probably wrong here).

So, I finally 1cced EoSD Hard with ReimuB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26646)! In my opinion, "Bury in Lake" and "Water Elf" aren't really that bad. Granted, they're probably worse on Lunatic, but I'm not exactly there yet in skill level.
EDIT: And PCB Hard with ReimuB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26647) as well! The run wasn't really too good (I died stupidly on Stage 2, for example), but it's done. That's all of the early Windows games except for PoFV 1cced on Hard.
-
does that mean my first Lunatic clear is no good? because I ended it with 2/1.
Haha, no, the more left, the better, of course, it just adds to the excitement.
Edit: Oh, missed that one, congratulations, Ace! Everyone else as well!

EoSD LNB MarisaA!
All shot-types cleared on Lunatic without bombs!
Not much of an accomplishment but I also 1cc'd PCB Lunatic without bombs again.
Died 3 times to stage 3, and NMNB stage 6 is cool (2 borders broken/cap all Yuyuko cards) finished with 6 lives in stock.
-
DAMN you beat me. Good job! EoSD 4/4 is quite an accomplishment.
-
LLS extra clear.
Yes, I hadn't done that yet. But I've done it now, and honestly it's one the harder extra stages for sure.
-
Beat Nue (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26652) and Kaguya (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26653) on hard.
-
Are you God or just a seraph trying to fuck with the rest of the board
I'm complimenting your ability, not trying to be stupid. I say this because I don't want to cause a misunderstanding.
Other guys can do NBNUFO so they're better than me.
Also, congratulations to everyone for doing everything.

Did a short streaming session today and walked away with a decent 10-6 (only 0.02 slower than my best) and a new record for EX-3, 178.26.
After closing the stream I continued to play against EX-Sanae and finally found a solution to the final phase in EX-9, and by doing so cut out about a second again. This is really exciting, as with that sub 44:50 total time was achieved.

Wow, you are wrecking these games. I wouldn't be surprised to see you get a LNMNB for yourself within the foreseeable future.
-
PCB Normal No Bombs 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26665)! And with the proper amount of starting lives set this time around. Seven misses here, at least two of which were incredibly dumb and completely avoidable (like hesitating when autocollecting items during Resurrection Butterfly, then going for the POC anyway and ramming the bullets that spawned in the meantime), so it's pretty much on par with my EoSD effort. And I did it on my first try! To think this game used to cause me so much trouble...

Beat Flandre (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26669), which means I've beaten all windows extra bosses now!
(bar Marisa)

Finally captured Nue's Undefined Darkness. I've got a pretty good strategy for it now, so I might actually beat U.F.O extra stage someday... Hopefully.
-
Cleared 90 scenes in DS with Aya. Hopefully I can make it to 100 within the next two months.
Aaand just cleared Vague Recollection of Kinkaku-ji~

Nice one!! May I ask how many attempts that took?! Great job in any case. :D

Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana timeout. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2jYXR7HIc4)

Took you long enough. :D
Now time out UBS.
:trollface:
As for me, I timed out Total Purification (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8POy-Utwjo)
-
SFN started pissing me off after I got T-5, T-5, T-6. >:/
-
congratz. if you ask me, SFN is THE spell to time out, even though it's been done in abundance here. I still had no luck with my 90 fps attempts :V I might have to close on Vee's number of tries on this spellcard before I successfully reach the 0 seconds. best spell.
-
Nice one!! May I ask how many attempts that took?! Great job in any case. :D
I don't know the exact number since I have a score.dat with everything unlocked on it since I'm too lazy to unlock everything myself, and the previous player attempted it a good number of times. It was definitely 250 when I started trying it yesterday and currently reads 1/343. I'd estimate it at more than that, though, since some attempts were done on the old file.
But yeah, it was weird. I'd given up on it since I couldn't seem to read the card worth anything (as in, I'd never gotten under 30 seconds before yesterday) and then just kind of randomly started on it. 20 attempts or so in, I get it to 10 seconds before getting clipped, which was all the motivation I needed to finally finish the thing.
-
I just 1cced Aya's story on Normal, cleared Yuka's story on Normal, and beat Extra with Komachi in PoFV. Just Eiki left to do and I've beaten PoFV with every character. This also means I've beaten the Extra mode of every one of the Windows games (excepting StB's Extra and PCB's Phantasm). I can't believe how much I've done with the series and I'm still nowhere near done.
-
So, I started trying to tackle UFO Lunatic. I mean, I used a continue on stage 3, and I entered stage 4 with .5 lives. But I kept rolling on with that second credit and reached Byakuren (never mind it was my first time ever seeing Stage 4).
That's a 1/1 history on Byakuren's first card. I can totally do this.
Maybe this 1cc is overdue...
-
Got my first Imperishable Night Clear on Lunatic. :] (http://youtu.be/SmvpxWlwPyQ)
Just barely cleared the game with no resources to spare.
-
Yay! Been about three weeks since I started playing Touhou with an intention to actually clear and improve and not just credit feed and I'm having a blast! Finally cleared MoF Extra with Reimu (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvyZvWHZGk8)!
But it also means that I'll probably have to go back to working on my SA Normal 1cc now. D:
-
Alice solo clear (hard) somehow, even though it was worse than most of the non-clears. Sakuya remains for all shots. Where did Alice learn to shoot anyway? And why has Sakuya forgotten her amazing shots from PCB?
-

I had started doing that long ago (sometime in September), but had stopped when Sakuya, Alice and Marisa were missing. I have just done them ~3 days ago, because why not. Sakuya is actually easier than Alice, but takes longer to kill things. Iirc I ended up timing out Hourai Jewel. :V
-
Sakuya done! That's everything for IN,MoF,TD aka the easy set. You're right, Sakuya wasn't that bad (I'll forgive her). I was mostly scared about Reimu's first non (:ohdear:). And the Hourai Jewel performance here was better than normal which further goes to show that having bombs in stock horribly diminishes my ability to focus on dodging stuff.
-
1DNB Suwako. I died on her final non after the rain card because I still don't know how to auto-collect and then run down to the bottom without making the whole thing a huge mess to dodge. Still, it might as well be a perfect in my book.
And if I ever do figure out scoring in MoF Extra, I guess I'll have to perfect Suwako anyway, so maybe I'll get an actual actual one later. I'm fine with this for now though.
-
Woo! Mokou down (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzG0ayPmfZ0)!
Still trying to avoid working on my SA normal 1cc :V
But should I work on Ran and Yukari, or Flandre next . . . ? Hum.
-
I just unlocked Stage EX in StB, clearing all of Stage 6's scenes in the process.
-
Timed out Throwing Mt. Togakushi. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOBUc03X1nw)
-
Got a 1-death run of PCB Lunatic stage 4, featuring a NM2B Prismrivers fight. Said death was a run-straigth-into-a-bullet-with-full-bombs kind of death, but whatever.
Not much of an accomplishment, but given how I (uselessly) raged at PCB recently, I'll take it.
Also, MarisaA is amazing. Who needs bombs when you can spam borders ? :3
-
I somehow just pulled off a perfect Hard Keine for the first time... while using Scarlet team, who I use maybe once every few months. I've done this stage something like 100 times with Border and never managed that. I normally have to bomb at least once during the stage portion, but got super lucky a few times here. Also missed half the point cards - it wasn't even my stage high score. But it got the job done.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26797
Edit: sudden even more surprising accomplishment - just capped every spell against Hard Yuyuko, where most runs I'm lucky to get 1-2 of them. Not quite perfect though, thanks to the knife/bubble nonspell and Youmu's spell.
-
Subconscious "Rorschach in Danmaku" timeout. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLMOb-NJcpM) :D
Though...at the end of the card, after not shooting all throughout...I somehow got the Spell Card Bonus message. :wat:
-
I think the game gave you the capture because the spellcard bonus doesn't decrease. I've seen the same occur in timeouts of Fairy Destruction Ray and Grudge Bow.
As for why the bonus doesn't decrease in the first place, no idea.
-
Made it to the 35 seconds mark in a Blind Nightbird timeout attempt. :getdown: (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26815)
And one attempt later, I made it to the 27 seconds mark. :justasplanned: (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26816)
-
Little late with this, since I somehow missed the accomplishments thread last time I looked through the forum...Also my first post here I guess!
PCB was my first Lunatic clear last Tuesday! Actually finished my run at exactly 1:00am the morning of my birthday. Had been working at it for a bit, it was honestly a pretty poor run but it felt good!
-
It has been a long time since I posted some achievement here but today I did 2 Accomplishments:
1- To make Marine Benefit work in some computer (in my office's computer :V);
2- Beat the game on normal level with 2 continues. The first time that I played, some months ago, I couldn't beat the fifth boss (those bubbles suck).
And I won't post a ss here because when I pressed printScreen the "stage clear" word disappeared and I catch on black screen :(
-
Perfect Patchouli and perfect Sakuya in stage practice. Get excited and do full run, bork completely.
-
This! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z1oGd3RgxA)
Just this! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z1oGd3RgxA)
I don't have the foggiest HOW I did it, but I did it anyway!
I also managed to capture Event Horizan on hard completely non-focused after about 14 deaths, so pretty pleased about that.
-
Pacified the stage portion of PCB stage 6. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTFjYb_BMIY)

I don't care if this isn't one of the shmups. It's a Touhou game, damn it!

I finally 1cced Highly Responsive to Prayers on Normal (Jigoku route, default lives). The only game in the series I haven't 1cced on Normal now is Hisoutensoku.
I really never want to play this again, except maybe to 1cc the Makai route. Then I'm swearing this game off forever, because it's just so cruel. I hate you so much, Kikuri. You too, Ying-Yang Orb, for killing me more than you kill bosses.

PCB Lunatic No Bombs clear with 6/6 shot-types.

PCB Lunatic No-Bombs clear.
1 miss until Youmu. Then an annoyingly shit performance on her involving 1 death to HGS, 1 death to the following non-spell and two fucking deaths to her final. Damn it. Yuyuko was 2 miss which is an acceptable result. I got walled off on her 2nd spellcard because I haven't got it memorized (lol whu plays PCB anyway :3) and i died really stupidly on 80% Reflowering's final wave. All in all, i'm still pleased about this improvement. The prismriver fight was pretty awesome and I find that I did well enough on the parts of the game that I didn't die at to compensate for forgetting to use my brain so much during Youmu.
PS: Practice today net me another NMNB Shou fight. Pretty happy about that but still very displeased with my overall consistency on the stage.
-
Nothing too great, but I cleared MoF normal with Marisa A and B today. Now all I have left is Marisa C and I will have cleared normal MoF with every shot type.
-
Holy shit. I just got a LNMNB Shou fight. :o :o :o

Well, I really haven't been posting here as much as I used to. I've been playing quite a bit though. Just mostly PC-98 scoring. And hopefully someday... PCB.
But anyway, here's a no-bomb run of HRtP Lunatic. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWoBO82fClg&feature=youtu.be) Jigoku route because Sariel is death on a pogo stick. This game is, surprisingly enough, quite fun to play. Especially without bombs.

Don't tell me you haven't noticed that
-
Haven't been playing Touhou as much lately because I've been obsessed with other shmups (Espgaluda is pretty fun!), but I managed to pull out a timeout of Mountain of Faith Normal on my first try, another 1DNB MoF Lunatic stage 6 (Death to Kanako's third non), and a 1DNB SA Stage 4 (to Flying Insect's Nest).
I also would have reported clearing UFO Lunatic with MarisaA, but I decided to derp on Byakuren and lost a life with 2 bombs to Milky Way, then I died on the red phase of LFS at a centimeter of health. Still though, I got pretty far for only having 4 lives going into stage 5, so that's something at least.
-
does a nue perfect even count as an accomplishment
because i did that i guess
i probably did it before but yeah
-
I've been keeping at it with the IL speedrunning and hold over 90% of all the scenes across both photo games as of tonight. I'll happily retire from speedrunning these games once 44:39.xx in DS is reached.
-edit-
Victory! The total time for the DS IL's reached 44:39.63 tonight. Even though a project like this can never really be finished, there will always be places to improve, new findings that obsolete old strategies, perhaps even some game mechanic abuse or glitch down the line( you never know, right?), I still feel like I'm thoroughly done with this now.
Of course, this benchmark would've never been reached without competition, and if people pick up the game again, I might just come back to play some more, but right now I just wanna take it easy. The DS score.dat I started when I picked up the DS speedrunning last year has 194 hours and 13 seconds clocked on it right now, and I also made another .dat while switching computers with over 50 hours on it... time well spent is never wasted :)

100 DS scenes cleared with Aya. :toot:

Finally cleared EoSD on Lunatic! (http://youtu.be/G8kpAUrEx20)

Well, I guess this counts as a shitrun, but I NMNB'ed the game up to Agni Radiance. That's something. I'm not sure if the books were luck or if I've achieved a higher consciousness.

Today I have finally reached a goal I set myself one and a half years ago. A LLS Normal 1cc (http://puu.sh/23pmW) (MarisaA) joins my other four Normal clears (IN (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=16128), PCB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=17651), PoFV (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=26968) and MoF (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25104)) to give me the five clears I had aimed for way back then.

And suddenly, right after my Mof Extra perfect, NDNB PCB extra (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=27001) (border break on Charming Siege - I will probably work on a NDNBNBB run). On my third time playing the stage in months. The second one being a run where I actually got 0D1B2BB. And in that run, the bomb was intentionally used to collect point items (because I never expected anything near a perfect), and the 2 border breaks were derps (I somehow thought the first spellcard was going to be 12 General Gods, lol). I wasn't even trying to do anything like that - I was just trying to capture spellcards. That's what showed me I can do it, and now the cycle I had with Suwako will repeat.
What's more, I went 3/3 on Kokkuri-san's Contract, when I was like 0/10 before today, and 3/3 on Descent of Izuna Gongen as well.
WTF? Is this a sudden leap in skill (especially in consistency), or am I just having a really good weekend?
-
Perfect Normal Satori (and stage)! Dunno if a normal stage perfect is something I should be still getting excited about at this point, but damn, it's been so close several times, but I've always managed to mess something else up on the 5/40 which had Double Black Death Butterfly caps, until this one.
-
Finally! My first Hard 1cc, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfR-PCttlx0) IN style.
Down to last life, last bomb, luck dodges near the end, but that just means it challenged me the whole way through. Still a long way to go, but it feels like progress after all these Normals and Extras.
-
wheeee, I can actually post in this thread. hasn't happened since my DS all clear. that was in the beginning of last month. yeah, took me over 6 weeks to do anything, but here goes nothing.
PoFV - lunatic 1cc 90FPS with komachi (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cyPHtW-tcQ)
yep. after all this time, I cleared it.
didn't take as long as I thought it would after the first week :V anyway, enjoy! (I hope the HD will be enabled after a bit. because hurr durr, I'll go crazy if it won't.)
-
Impressive!
-
You could have told me you were doing this at 90fps. Holy waffles.
I think 90fps Reimu's ying-yangs are slower than PoDD Reimu's ying-yangs. That's hilarious.
-
Back from my grandma, no internet in my new apartment yet, but I made good use of the time and got Hard Mode Clears with all characters/shottypes in PCB, IN (no individual characters yet), MoF and SA. Next are UFO and TD, then I'll clear IN with the individual characters again, then PoFV. After that, I'll catch up with the fighting games before moving on to Lunatic I think.
However, I also did something cool for once - I finally timed out Yuyuko's Last Word. My history is at 10/3221, 150 or so were dedicated to my first clear. I don't know if my grandma nagging me about every topic I could possibly think of helped me concentrate, but a clear is a clear and I can finally join a cool club for once.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8Tl1mBV-Fg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8Tl1mBV-Fg).
On that note, congratulations to everyone!
-
SFN! Nice work.
-
Cool stuff everyone. Especially you Saku-chan but also for you Lepetit89. SFN is a great card. Good job timing it out.
As for myself, I played me a few GFW credits today and managed to get a no-bombs clear of the game on A-2 route. Yay, first no-bomb run of this game. That makes my fourth even though this thing is not exactly as taxing as the other games. :3 I still had a good time. Besides, this game has awesome lolis so I just have to eventually clear the game without bombs on all routes.
The flat ones demand it.
-
Nice work Sakurei and Lepetit!

Timed out Demon Binding Ring with solo Marisa. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZiMKyenBdc)
-
I'm a copycat. PoFV 90fps Lunatic 1cc as Komachi. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cabvd2IZZHM)
I'm very glad to have done this, since I actually wanted to get a 90fps 1cc in this game (without a broken character) way back when I was doing the other games. It proved impossible for me back then. It's still balls hard of course. (And PoDD levels of awesome.)
Also, in my case as well, Eiki lost the fourth round at about 2:20. It's possible that that's actually normal, I guess. I suppose I could do a few test runs to be sure, but that would be very time consuming.
-
Congrats. I think I'll try it too within the next couple of days. Only did it with Medicine which wasn't even a challenge.
Pretty sure 2:20 4th round is quite a lot faster than average, for Komachi. My guess is that you were both lucky!
-
already said it in the video, but man, Zil. very impressive.
as for me: I had two goals set for myself after the komachi run. one of them was MoF NB. and here it is, I guess. it was okay, but some of the deaths really irk me.
MoF - LNB 1cc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tsd-KflKLGU)
it says it's still processing, but it loads for me regardless, so I guess I'll just post it now.

First TD/10D Lunatic Clear~!
Really wasn't expecting this to happen, I would've normally restarted after dying to midboss Kyouko but I just wanted to continue for practicing purposes. My second death was during the stage portion of stage THREE(a relatively easy stage in my opinion)! I later lose 2 lives to a spellcard I timeout (no-focus) quite easily months ago; Demonify "Zuohuo Rumo". :fail: Stages 5 and 6 went okay, except where I misjudged Miko's HP and died after my bomb invincibility runout, it was easily avoidable.
Slightly disappointed in my silly-play but, still happy overall since it is my first Clear and those are usually messy clears anyways. ;)
(Probably will upload to youtube later for keepsake.)
*EDIT: YouTube Video* (http://youtu.be/F5TiXC6_dHk)
-
Pretty sure 2:20 4th round is quite a lot faster than average, for Komachi. My guess is that you were both lucky!
Oh wait. I just found some notes I took a while ago (from the silly challenge iirc) and I have written that Eiki's timer is 2:30 in the fourth round. I'm sure I had a bunch of examples or I probably wouldn't have written that down, and it would be very unlike Komachi to win half a minute early in the first place, but you never know I guess.
And that reminds me that I was testing the PoDD timers as well. In the first round, the AI seems to consistently last until 1:40. The first hit exactly 1 minute in, then the next two after 20 second intervals. From what I've looked at so far (which isn't much) it only uses bombs if it gets trapped before enough time has passed for it to take one of the scheduled hits. Also, it seems that the second and third hits try to follow 20 seconds after, no matter what. So like, if it took the first hit late, at 1:20 for instance, the next two would be at 1:40 and 2:00. So it doesn't try to "correct" itself if it messes up, and one early hit shortens the whole match. (Theoretically. I never actually saw the AI take early hits. Only late ones.) I've also only looked at stage 1 so far, and only ten matches or so. There were some weird ones where it lasted over 2 minutes, but otherwise they ended at almost exactly 1:40. (With one unique case where it happened to have a full spell gauge and ended up hypering at 1:40, then dying as soon as it wore off. The only time I saw the AI hyper in the matches I looked at.) All played as Kana or Kotohime against random others.
I'm not really sure why I just suddenly posted this here since it's pretty well off topic and something almost nobody would care to read anyway, but what the hell.
Congrats L3PiK and Sakurei on the Lunatic clears.

Finally a run that get's somewhere again. Now to get a run that doesn't fail like a moron to Stage 4 or that stupid Orb spam death in Stage 3.
Replay uploaded for those who takes pleasure in watching people suffer.
Got to Stage 5 this time. More specifically, midboss Nazrin. Butthead.
-
Finally, I managed MS Hard! Every time I look at my accomplishments spreadsheet, I go, "Why the heck haven't I beat MS Hard yet?" Then I get to stage 4 boss and start hemorrhaging lives to the paint lines and remember - though I've made it to stage 6 several times, it was never with enough left. Did surprisingly well at stage 4 today, but then lost 3 lives at 5's boss. Barely scraped by finishing at 0/0.

Timed out Woo at 90fps. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQA3L39CuPI)

ReimuC Subterranean Animism Lunatic No-Bombs DONE!!! :D (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=27075)
That took a LONG time! Waaay longer than it should have, but it doesn't matter! It's done!! WOOOHOO!
Just one shottype left...
The best shottype! MarisaC!!
See you all in a few decades~ :derp: (Hahaha)
-
Gongrats Nindel! And good luck, I'm sure it'll be fun. :V

Continuing with 90fps PoFV. Cirno was a lot easier. Throughout every attempt, Aya never failed to kill me twice, though Yuuka lost the first round every time, so it kinda balanced out. Then getting every extend is of course no issue for Cirno, so 5 lives for Eiki. No idea what the 5th round timer should be.
-
okay, a few days ago, I was like "I am starting to play PoDD. as a sidething, let's 1cc the other PC-98 games since I don't have them yet" I started with MS. But then I came to the realization that a simple 1cc wouldn't be too awesome, because I should be able to do them with a little effort. so I went ahead and did the first one, mystic square, without bombs :V my first MS lunatic 1cc is also a LNB. yup. I recorded the run and uploaded it for you all to laugh at, because it's really bad :'D

Seconding chum. That Shinki fight was awesome.
Have you tried enabling 32 bit color? I can't use it myself, and I know you're also using Fraps to record, but you may as well try it, in case you haven't. It'll make it so that you can actually see the borders of the screen when there's a black background. And your sound seems somewhat funky as well.
As for myself, I've been trying out the ultra patch for PoFV. I've managed to clear with Reimu, Marisa, Youmu, Lyrica, and Mystia so far.
-
Fraps
Wait, wait, wait. You can record anex98 with fraps? I didn't know that was possible. I've tried so many different option setups but fraps just doesn't want to recognize it.
-
The version of Fraps that I have is 3.4.7. These are my settings for Anex86.

SUBTERRANEAN ANIMISM LUNATIC, NO BOMBS, WITH MARISA C. Done!!!!! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=27096)
This means... ALL SHOTTYPES TOUHOU 11 LUNATIC HAVE BEEN NO BOMBED! :D :D
And I thought MarisaC would take a month, maybe longer, considering how long ReimuC took!
Erm... just got to say.... like when I got my first 1cc with MarisaC...
MARISAC IS THE BEST SHOTTYPE!!!! :D

Now I should REALLY get on to getting that frigging 90fps Ultra Lunatic run... and Perfect Pacifist Orin!! >:(
-
thanks! I actually thought I'd game over on devil's recitation, but I captured it for the first time, so it's a special fight to me. (the last time I got that far, I died 3 times to the last phase and game over'd - consistency, what is that?) I am kind proud of it, because I think I did really well against Shinki here. I may have pussied about against the cheetoh lasers, but I had a few really close calls during pretty much every other phase of the fight bar the last one, I guess.
eh, 32 bit colors aren't enabled. I disabled them to match your setting. I am pretty sure I had it on before I managed to get it to record. I changed a couple things, so I don't know if that was the reason weird stuff happened, but I might as well try. and you're right. the sound's a bit funky, but I don't know what's causing it or how to fix it. it's not there during playing, after all. it's probable that fraps caused it because it's having problems with anex. But I guess I am overall satisfied with how it records. it works, after all.
and big congratulations for no-bombing every shottype in SA, nindella. good job.

PoFV Lunatic 1cc with Eiki. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=27115)
Got this at my second try. I really had no idea Eiki was broken like this.
Came to stage 9 with 1 extra life, lost first round at 0:46 (!), won second round before 2:00. Dafuq ?
Well, I'll try with a non-broken character next time (probably Reimu, maybe Marisa), to have an actual feeling of accomplishment...
-
before you start putting effort into reimu lunatic: she's broken. after aya and medicine, who are the brokenest (haha, engrish) characters, you have reimu in 3rd place. Her ying yang orbs are pure AI killers.
Marisa's really good, but nothing I'd call broken. good luck if you decide to use her.
-

Really ? I remember her being quite good, but not much more than Marisa (both won at around the same times in my Hard 1cc's, if I remember correctly).
Still, I trust you, so I will use Marisa then.

Mountain of Faith Ultra 1cc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb85SrPiF3A)

Perfect PCB Extra! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=27117) Includes no border breaks and all point items collected. I happened to get a safespot on Descent of Izuna Gongen. This took quite a bit less effort than Suwako did, but still glad to have done this. I probably won't be perfecting any other Extra stages any time soon.

Barely defeated Mokou again, but I did catch her first spell for the first time since near the end of May 2011. :ohdear:

First normal 1CC (non-default lives though) and it's... Lotus Land Story ReimuB? And only my second or third serious LLS normal run (I'd already 1CC'd Easy)? Yeah, I don't know either.
(http://i.imgur.com/omvKvUG.png)
For the record, I have no idea what anything in this screenshot means. :V (EDIT: Found out. Apparently the numbers are as follows: score, deaths, bombs, completion percentage, kill rate, items collected, items collected above POC, focus ratio, slowdown, grade.)
Either way, I consider that to be the moment when I ceased to be "a guy who plays Touhou" and became "a Touhou player".
I've been grinding away at IN and have been in a bit of a rut, and I wanted to get more practice with shot types that aren't homing-Reimu, so I decided to do a complete tour of the series: SoEW through TD, every shot type, one credit each, see how far I can go. Suddenly, bam, LLS 1CC.
Interestingly enough, I had just whiffed a ReimuA run at the last possible second (seriously, stage 6 Yuuka's health was in the red) - which, for some reason, the game entered in to the high score list as an All Clear anyways? Again, I got nothing.
(this did not prepare me at all for the ass-whooping I received when I attempted Mystic Square)

LLS mislabels stage 6 scores with "All" for some reason, and takes you to the credits after a stage 6 game over. It won't unlock Extra though, so I'd consider stage 6 an actual stage as opposed to a bonus like Kaguya's last spells or something.
I'll recommend going for a default lives clear. LLS is very easy to clear (in fact I'd say LLS Hard is on par with the easier Normals of later games). Try to bomb more often. If I recall correctly the game gives you 30 bombs normally (which would be 34 with two additional deaths), and you only used 22 of them.

Improved my best IN Extra score by 20m.
http://i.imgur.com/nq4PL2d.png
Not much was done for score here. Just a bit of graze milking on Keine's last spell in the most risk-free manner ever. I dunno, IN has a pretty awesome system but I've seen the kind of score techniques used in IN Extra and they all seem to be either tedious, soul crushingly difficult or just tailored to shit on my inability to make small taps the best way possible. Watching someone supergraze Keine's 2nd card or Honest Mans Death or whatever that survival one is called makes me curl up into a little ball and cry. :V
-
I had my worst-best run of Koishi last night... I don't play the stage very often, because I really don't like the stage portion and I have to restart it a ton to get through it. So last night after dying on Miracle Fruit, I would have started over, but it was late and I figured I'll just try my hardest to cap Rice Shower instead. That didn't work (0/52!) and I lost my second life there. But then I managed to do the looping fairy part right after that perfectly for the first time ever, which was neat in its own right. Anyway I'm expecting nothing entering the boss with 0 lives... but I did well enough to earn back (and then lose) 2 more lives, and finished at 0/1.0. Genetics alone normally costs me 2 lives + 2 bombs without fail, but I managed it with just 1 + 1 this time. So a minor victory atop a lousy start.
Edit bonus: beat Suwako with ReimuC for the first time and it was somehow my best run of the stage ever. Completely perfect stage portion, only 1 death during the boss, and a high score by around 75m. Also that makes 6/6 for that extra.
-
Improved my SA No-bombs Lunatic run by finishing with 5 lives and doing a perfect Stage 4 and 6.
Deaths were very ugly though. I am really annoyed by them. Let's begin from the start then shall we?
I emerge victorious from my boss fight with Yamame. She had treated me well. Not a single restart necessary from her non-spell. Happy about that fact, i somehow find myself getting rammed by a fairy in the early parts of Stage 2. Something that should never even be possible to occur but occured anyway but trivial mistakes like these aren't too annoying provided they don't stop me from clearing.
Stage 3 and 4 went as they should. Capturing DBDB was nice. That's one of the cards that usually mess me up. Then I reach stage 5 and I die like a fucking moron to midboss Orin's opener after having pacified a bit of it to make the popcorn hell shorter. Capture Cat Walk. Why not. Always gotta do that in the runs where you mess up the easy shit. That's me, right here. That's how i roll. Never capable when it matters. Oh and i died to the piss easy streaming before Stage 5 midboss too. Classy.
Then around comes Orin and wham. Away goes my lives. First spell. Die to it. Third non-spell. Die to it. Third spell. Die to it. Final spell. Die here too. All of these were so fucking stupid and just thinking about how many lives i would've ended the game with if I didn't lose my lives at stupid places where nobody ever dies. :(
Still though, it's an accomplishment to me since it includes me capturing things in a full run that I usually choke against and it features generally good performance except for the moments when my ridiculously overpowered Retardation Gene kicked in and ruined stuff.
-

Anyway, it has been a while I didn't post an accomplishment here I guess, so...
EoSD no-focus 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=27172). After that fail at SG, I went to relax a bit and tried again, and did it. :toot:

I think that GS guy asked me to do it. I'm not entirely sure.
Edit: And I've just no-bombed the Makai route!

AHHHHHHHH! I finally 1cced UFO on normal! :getdown:
Screen cap (http://i.imgur.com/6mqEJB8.png) I was so excited I took the picture before the score tallied. So here's the results screen. (http://i.imgur.com/CDDG66K.png) I even captured "Nikou Hijiri's Air Scroll."
Now, I can finally fail at the extra stage.
-
Guess I 1cc'd UFO normal, too (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=27201) (again, this time with ReimuA).
I'm aware I missed a couple of UFOs in stage 1, but aside from that it went very well.
until...... I arrived at Byakuren 7/5 and got really sloppy. Finished 1/3. :V

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmLTR4GrWiM
Decided to upload my PCB NB run. I died stupidly in many locations but I did quite well on Stage 3 and 4 and there were some individual moments of cool spread around the run. Let's just say that most of the stupid nonsense is concentrated around the Youmu fight.
It's a great watch guys. You better believe it. :V - Even if you are not going to, I'd recommend at least looking at the Prismriver fight. That was some pretty badass dodging on the first two nons.
-
I beat Mamizou. It only took me ten tries. It was interesting because her two last spellcard were new to me.

:o Holy crap, Nindella. That's pretty awesome. Really happy for you!
I have nothing really to report other than finally beating PoFV's extra with Yama-sama.
Haha, it wasn't even my best score. Figures. (http://i.imgur.com/fZ8UuCT.png)

Congrats to Nindel, that was awesome.
As for myself, I played some MoF, and got another NMNB stage 4.

Finally 1cc SA with MarisaB. Took me way longer than it should have. It's time to increase difficulty! Hard mode, here I come!

Timed out Momji, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JFWClzCunc) and timed out Peta Flare (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBc-jPoRgWQ)

Just got a NMNB1bb Phantasm (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=27272). That border break at DBDB got me kinda mad, but just by being at DBDB it's already a fair fail, so I'll count this as an accomplishment. Hmm.
-
Got another NMNB EoSD stage 4 (Hard mode) (http://imgur.com/m74DivN), this time with MarisaA.
Not bad, maybe I should try to get this no-bombs run with her...
Also :The hell Nindella. You're crazy.

Cleared MoF on normal with MarisaC finally. That took way longer than it should have, but I kept dying stupidly to Kanako. Now I can properly start working on hard.

Mountain of Faith ReimuA Lunatic No Bombs 1cc! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=27276)
I've been working on this really hard for the past few days.
This feels very good!

Got a perfect of SA Stage 3 with MarisaC this morning to make sure that I'm not getting through most of these patterns by virtue of ReimuA's power and spread. It came a lot easier than I thought too. Now to work on Satori...
-
Perfected PCB Phantasm! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=27287) After several runs ruined by DBDB and one at the end of BoLaD, I finally did this crap. Now, gonna make another attempt to put Touhou on hiatus. See y'all later, if I'm gonna be strong enough this time. :ohdear:
-
PoFV Hard 1cc with Reisen (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=27289)
I've been trying to do this for quite some time now.
Stages 6-7-8 went really nice, which allowed me to derp completely against Eiki, and win during the fifth round :V
It seems Reisen is really good at scoring and getting high chains.
-
AAhhhiihhaahhh I saw for the first time at the game Byakuren's last spellcard. Byakuren should be the Wailord from the Touhou universe, her spellcards has a looooooooooooot of life. Also for the first time I filled all stars from the life stock from a Touhou game :)
One day I'll beat UFO.

So I guess this happened. PoDD 90fps Lunatic 1cc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpB0nzlBg1k)
First time I touched the game since the 100m run. It was quite an exciting way to get back into the game, but really it'll probably still be a while before I start playing actively again.
And now I hope to see some folks do this for the other PC-98 games as well.

Zil, that was just unbelievable.
How do you 90FPS in PC98, though?
-
How do you do the things that you do
(That Yumemi fight was hilarious)
He explains it in the video description

Cleared In Extra on my first 90FPS try. I even capped the Rings of Death! I don't eve know how that happened.
Replay available upon request.

Congratulation!! I'd certainly like to see the replay! :toot:

Thank you. I think this is it:

please tell me your thoughts. I don't get to play 90 fps all that often. (only ever did it twice, including that.)
-
well made to Shikieiki-sama on my first trying in Lunatic PoFV (default lives). =D
EDIT: forgot to mention it was on a Laptop that disable my down-right dodging capability. XD
-
There is an edit button. You should try using it instead of double posting. Also, if you have a replay, just post it anyway to save the trouble of people requesting it :V
Making it to Shikieiki is easy. Beating her pretty much requires 2 spare lives going in.
I guess it's an accomplishment that I haven't played the games in over a week without being rusty at them...much :3
-
would be easier if I actually had full omni-direcional control. since I didn't, I see it as a small accomplishment.

MoF Lunatic 1cc 90fps! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=27315)
I had an extremely close run yesterday that failed, this actually is my third attempt that got to VoWG.
The movement speed is so unwieldy for 90fps.
edit: just giggled when I saw the thread title

Dunno if this counts. Capped Yuyuko's last spell on TD Lunatic without moving. lols
EDIT: Just did it to her Overdirve! lol XD

Thanks a lot. I really enjoyed the replay. It looked pretty neat to me. That was indeed pretty nice work on the final nonspell. nice run overall, in my little opinion :)
-
I 1cc'd Marine Benefit on Normal with ReimuA.
No replay, since you can't save replays on it and I didn't record it.

Thanks. I know I need to play 90fps more. Tyring to do a pacifist on normal but DAT KEINE STAGE! Her midboss gets silly if you don't kill those last couple of fairies.

UFO LUNATIC NO BOMBS 1CC (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=27329)
YESSSS! Surely after that recent failed attempt (That I went on about in the rage thread), there was no way I could lose!
My Byakuren fight sort of went well this time, even though I died to LFS twice. The only things I failed were the second nonspell, Devil's Recitation, and of course, LFS!
-
NB runs are always cool. In this game in particular. I already congratulated you on Twitter but I'll say it here too. Good job :)

It took me 372 tries, but I finally got God Sign "Genealogy of the Sky-Born" Lunatic. :toot:

I don't know why this card is so hard... and only Fantasy Heaven has taken more tries... :wat:

If you have Her last Word unlocked in IN, you can pretty much practice her final. =D
Also, Nice job. I had that left on my first time too. lols *Sakuya A*

Baby accomplishment! Perfect Easy Okuu! (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=27340) Only worth mentioning because it's only my second perfect Easy Stg 6 (and the other's Miko), and because this is probably my worst stage 6 on Normal.
-
I have two things today.
First is a MoF LNB with MarisaC
Died 5 times on stage 6 (four really stupid, think first spellcard)
PWG cap and NMNB stage 5 is nice though!
The next is a PCB LNB No Focus run with ReimuB
All I have to say is that the border system is broken as hell.
I captured like... 8 or 9 spells? And still cleared with 2 in stock.

I'd think myself lucky to beat Lunatic on anything other than IN. nice job. =D

Well, I've reached over 40 million in BEVENTLAED. (http://i.imgur.com/sZTM93Y.jpg) It's a pretty awesome flash puzzle game I've been playing. It's very fast and ridiculous. I recommend it to anyone who likes that sort of thing.
I've also done another 90fps 1cc in PoDD, this time with Rikako. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ul5wpnlAkw)
And now I think we're on the last page of this thread, once again. Thread 20 already.
-
I still need to finish a 1cc of PoDD. Nice work Zil. =D
Edit: I saw your suggestion Zil and started 20 =)
-
I really don't know how to play this game.
I see your 90FPS runs and I'm like "I can easily clear that normally" but every time I open the damn game SOME fight has to trash the entire run. I've had it happen against fucking Kana.
... I just lost 2 lives to Stage 2 Marisa.

same here. and then I open the game and game over to kotohime, because fuck everything.
well, I managed to get past her all of one time, but I haven't practice chiyuri (and yumemi) much, so I swiftly game over'd on stage 8. eh. I'm at consistently sucking instead of having a good run to raise my hopes only to suck in the next 30.

Had a similar run after I posted that. Lost only one life to Stage 7 Reimu (;______; << tears of joy) but I didn't have any more lives and lost to Chiyuri. I actually lasted a while before going down.
I'd play as Yumemi or something, but I don't like her bomb. Mima is so fine~
