Me as of August 25, 2013:
LNB of games 4, and 6-13 (GFW included).
2MNBNBB of PCB Lunatic
2MNB of MoF lunatic
3MNB of IN Lunatic
3MNBNUFO of UFO Lunatic
LNBNT
PCB LNN
Lots of Perfect Extras
Yeah.
Current me:
EoSD 4/4 LNB, 5MNB (ReimuA)
PCB 6/6 LNB, 6/6 LNBNBB, NMNB1BB x4 (with ReimuB), 1MNBNBB x2 (ReimuB)
IN 3MNB (Both routes. Last spells failed, but I'm a rebel and am counting it as 3 miss)
MoF 2MNB
SA 3MNB, 3.1bil ReimuA
UFO 3MNBNUFO
GFW: LNB
TD 2MNBNT
DDC 4/6 LNB (Both Reimus, MarisaB, SakuyaA), 3MNB (ReimuA), 1.13 bil Lunatic (ReimuA)
Probably not relevant seeing as I practically quit. And I didn't really make too much improvements since then, even though it's almost been a year. Oh well~
-
Whole bunch of random stuff.
EoSD, PCB, IN, PoFV, MoF, SA, GFW, TD, DDC lunatic 1cc. (UFO almost, haven't tried in years >_>)
MoF LNB (8 deaths, but I got it)
PCB and MoF extra perfect, 2DNB of most of the rest (3 for TD, 1 for EoSD...3 times)
IN LNF, PoFV LNF.
StB, DS, ISC all clear. DS beaten in under 43 minutes, 108 scenes in around 2:15, and 100% (all with Aya and Hatate) in around 5 hours. ISC all cleared in under 42 minutes.
ISC no item all clear (first on MoTK)
Lots of perfect lunatic bosses, lots more 1DNB runs.
VoWG NDNB timeout on the first attempt in months. A couple other nice timeouts as well, but nothing major.
Every lunatic/extra nonspell/spell captured except for Most Valuable Vajra. I could probably get it, but I haven't been playing too much lately.
Accomplishments I'd like to get before this thread ends:
sub 40 DS any%, sub 40 ISC all scenes, IN LNB, another NDNB extra, UFO lunatic 1cc. This is not unreasonable. Let's go.
-
（?・ω・｀）
-
Hardly even play anymore, but I'll list because why not.
Lunatic 1cc's : EoSD 2/4 (NF 1/4); PCB 2/6 (NF 1/6); IN (teams only): 6A 3/4, 6B 3/4; PoFV 10/14; MoF 2/6; SA 2/6; UFO 1/6; DDC 3/6.
No Miss, No Bomb, No whatever Extras: EoSD Extra 4/4; PCB Extra 4/6, Phantasm 2/6; MoF Extra 1/6; SA Extra 4/6; UFO Extra 2/6.
Dunno what else. Never really got into scoring, so scrub. :derp:
Goal: go full normie
-
I haven't been really playing as of late. :ohdear:
EoSD LNF clear
EoSD Extra NMNB
PCB Normal 1.45 billion
PCB Lunatic 6MNBNBB
PCB Extra NMNBNBB
MoF Extra NMNB
UFO Extra NMNBNUFO
TD Extra 1MNB
DDC Extra 2MNB
Goal: ???
-
My achievements:
All Windows Extra Clears
All Windows Hard 1ccs except UFO
Game specific:
EoSD: Lunatic 1cc
PCB: LNB, NMNBNBB Extra, 1bil Extra score
StB: All scenes cleared
DS: All scenes cleared with both characters, 50mil Aya score
GFW: A1 and C2 Lunatic 1ccs
ISC: All scenes cleared, 66/75 no item clears.
I'd like to work on the remaining vanilla clears at some point. From there, I might try to LNB another game, improve my PCB LNB, or do more scoring.
-
I guess listing is fun
Lunatic 1ccs of games 6-14 (not PoFV or GFW though, maybe if I invest more than an hour into them)
PCB 2MNBNBB (3 of them so far >.>)
MoF LNB (marisaB :V)
Perfect PCB extra/phantasm.
NB EoSD/TD extra
Probably forgetting something

Hey everyone, what's going on?
Hmm... New thread, I see! Well, alright, let's give it a go...
So, yeah, I've been putting this one off for so long now, but finally, as of yesterday, I actually got to sit down with the Great Fairy Wars extra stage, and after an hour or so of some serious playing, I've beaten the extra stage of Great Fairy Wars! :) It was about time I did this, it was long overdue! It's been a long time, since I last cleared an extra stage in the Touhou games! I have got to stop putting them off, honestly, but anyhow...
Here's the link to the video on YouTube (Yes, I finally have the Fraps tool! I got it not too long ago, so as of recently, I can now post videos on YouTube, so feel free to watch! Not only do I have the extra stage video set up, but I also got the videos of my two runs on Great Fairy Wars lunatic mode on C-2 and A-1 there as well on my channel. However, I still don't have the means to record high quality videos for the PS3 and the Xbox 360 games, among other systems, so that's going to be a while still):
Cirno shows her fairy powers against Marisa! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1d-SXcQqzbY)
Heck, I even got this cute little congratulations thing afterwards, haha: Aww shoot, Star, I'm pretty far from being a super player, ahaha! (^_^;) (http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o798/PurpleTheGuy/Yay_zps0cd66a08.png)
Surprisingly, this didn't take very long, once I figured out exactly what to do in many areas. I did tons better than I did a while back, like, last month. For the hardest extra stage boss in the Touhou series (Or so I've heard), Marisa isn't that bad, really. The strategies I used in my extra stage 1cc run were inspired by and based off of chum and LimD's strategies (I learned a lot from both their replays, like chum's stage strategy before Marisa in his scoring replay, and LimD's survival strategy against Marisa in his no death/no bombs run), so I would like to credit those two for helping me out a lot, and I would also like to thank Sakurei for giving me a couple pointers on how to approach the extra stage of Great Fairy Wars! You guys are great!
Also, I did do this little thing as well, if anyone's interested in watching: GFW Route A-1 lunatic mode 1cc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Vs3Q_2glKk)
Overall, yeah, that's what happened recently! :)
-
Done:
EoSD Lunatic 2MNB
EoSD Lunatic 413M
Goals:
DDC Lunatic NB
EoSD Lunatic 500M
EoSD Lunatic NMNB
From last year's august. I've recently become less hungry for achievements, but I think I might still go for 700M. That depends on whether or not I will actually follow through with my plans with school or not, so hopefully I won't be playing too much. I was gonna go for EoSD Normal too, but since MATSU improved his ReimuB score to 341M I don't know whether I want to anymore. I could beat it, but the amount of effort is a bit too much for me on a category I don't care too much about. Oh yeah I never did get that DDC NB, huh.
-
Sure, why not?
EoSD: Blind NMNB Meiling on Lunatic (never got around L1cc)
PCB: L1cc, NMNB Extra
IN: L1cc, capture Kaguya's LS Rush in a full run
PoFV: L1cc w/Marisa
MoF: L1cc 5/6 (lol MarisaA), LNB
SA: L1cc 6/6, LNB, 2.89b Lunatic
TD: L1cc
DDC: L1cc 4/6, NB w/ReimuA (NMNB stage 6 included), NF w/ReimuB, "scoring" w/MarisaB.
Goals: TD LNBNT, I guess...
-
Quoting old goals:
Easy challenges (NB/NF/pacifist) - done, sorta
More Normal 1cc (I'm very close, actually) - YES
Get a Hard 1cc - YES
Make Lunatic stop crushing me - it can be said that YES
Clear an Extra already - ...nope
Play DDC - I did. Sparked an avalanche of uninstalls.
Try to get into Soku - Not into FTGs
Dig out some non-Touhou shmups - OH YES
New goals:
Don't fail too hard with IN Easy scoring
Normal NB
All Hard 1cc
A Lunatic 1cc (yeah right)
CLEAR EXTRAS ALREADY
Get a non-Touhou notable shmup accomplishment

list list list
.... How did this turn into a list thread? ???
-
Same reason the other 21 threads did.
-
SA: 2.89b Lunatic
Let's update that to 3.14 billion (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=33999)~
-
.... How did this turn into a list thread? ???
That seems to be a tradition for the start of a new accomplishments thread. It's been nearly a year since the last thread though, so I suppose not everyone knows.
I'll post my accomplishments later I guess. If I decide to make a list at all this time-- nearly every accomplishment I had since last thread has been DDC scoring, and the amount of commitment I spent on DDC Easy feels like it overshadows most of my older accomplishments.
Most notably Easy ReimuA 873 million (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQeIANMDNw0), which apparently is still the #1 Easy ReimuA score on Royalflare even though it was set 8 months ago and has a ~12m obvious mistake (dying on stage 4).
-
That seems to be a tradition for the start of a new accomplishments thread. It's been nearly a year since the last thread though, so I suppose not everyone knows.
Oh shoot, I didn't know about that. I should have grown a clue when I saw the others put up their list of things. I wasn't a member last year, so yeah, I guess it wasn't apparent to me, lol.
Either way, at the moment, I don't have that much worth writing home about yet, besides a couple lunatic clears, some hard mode clears, and some extra stage bosses beaten (still working my way up, and hopefully, soon enough, I'll have some scoring attempts done), so I guess I'll put up a list at some point in time. Don't know when, but yeah.
-
If only to jump on the bandwagon,
All normal clears
PCB, EOSD, TD, MoF, IN (+ night bonus) hard clears
Made to Orin first spell on SA hard
IN easy perfect (not a terribly big achievement but meh :V)
PCB, EOSD ex clear
Thinking of attempting some of the easier games on normal/easy no bomb
Realized what 'ellen bee' means
Goals n' stoof
Eventually play StB/DS
Beat all hard games
Beat all lunatic modes (lolno)
NNB/ENB all games possibly
...aaand git gud. BV
-
My short list:
IN Border Team Normal ?cc
UFO TAS SanaeB 1cc
ISC completed
... And that's it.
Goals:
Normal 1cc any game
Beat StB and DS

Wow! You're almost there! Do you feel that SakuyaA makes a lot of the game easier than say... ReimuB?
I'm not sure how effective she is on the spam though.
-
Wow! You're almost there! Do you feel that SakuyaA makes a lot of the game easier than say... ReimuB?
Well at this point I'd have to relearn a lot of the game to clear it with Reimu-B, so I'm committed to Sakuya-A.
I think that there's probably more instances of difficult stuff to dodge with Reimu-B but everything's that little bit easier because of the smaller hitbox?
Can't say since the last time I played Reimu was probably to capture spellcards to unlock phantasm.
But there's a lot of personal preference things I like about Sakuya, mainly the faster focused speed and not having to sit under a boss to do damage.
And she's dam fine
I'm not sure how effective she is on the spam though.
Sakuya has fairly efficient fairy killing prowess I guess xD
-
1CCed IN Hard for the first time, using 3 starting lives. The catch: I used Reimu Solo, instead of Reimu+Yukari, just so I could unlock a Last Spell.
This was extremely painful due to Reimu's awful shot power and high-health familiars in the later stages. Kaguya's familiars made Buddhist Diamond and Hourai Jewel last far longer than they should have.
But hey I unlocked two Last Spells and captured both of them.
Sakuya has fairly efficient fairy killing prowess I guess xD
SakuyaB in particular wrecks absolutely everything, bosses and fairies alike. So much fun.
-
MOF hard 1cc :V
After like 35 attempts :colonveeplusalpha:
Glad that's over with. God, I suck at MoF and I don't know why... don't plan to touch that games hard mode with a 10-foot pole for a while :derp:
Worth it though.

A player of your level should have little to no problem staying under the bosses. ReimuB finishes most attacks slightly faster than SakuyaA, so the latter has to dodge more. SakuyaA generally has to do less planning for stage portions (unless you plan to PoC items), though. ReimuB has to face one more difficult nonspell in stage 4, that's about it. Her controllability and damage largely outweigh that in my opinion, though.
Do you stream? It'd be interesting to watch you live, having seen your dodging style from the replay, which is fairly different from most of what I've seen before.

UFO Lunatic No Bombs No UFOs 2/6! ReimuA! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34019)
Run was good. NMNB stage 5 included (It's a trend for my successful LNBNV runs to have NMNB stage 5 apparently).
Deaths were: Ichirin's last spell (embarrassing), Sinkable Vortex (She moved the opposite way at the end ;-;), Byakuren's first (typical), Devil's Recitation (on the beginning waves lmao. Somehow I managed to retain my confidence and get through the rest of Byakuren without mistake)

Her controllability and damage largely outweigh that in my opinion, though.
The main thing is at this point I'd have to relearn too much of the game since Reimu requires a different dodging pattern for most of it (stages and bosses)
As well as getting used to Reimu's different movement speed
Do you stream? It'd be interesting to watch you live, having seen your dodging style from the replay, which is fairly different from most of what I've seen before.
Last time I tried streaming I couldn't figure out how to get OBS to work with a fullscreen game, would just show a black screen.
Also time zones are a thing, so idk how likely it is anyone will get to see me live (I live in Australia)
But I'll try to get one up in the next few days
-
I've only been able to run OBS with MoF+ games in full-screen. I think the older engine uses a different format that OBS "Game Capture" won't recognize.
-
You can either use monitor capture,
or window capture on a windowed game and then full-screening it in-game.
-
I remember kits made a guide to stream the older games on full-screen with OBS, I think you can find it on his Twitch profile page.

L1MNB IN 1cc. Died to Eirin's nonspell of all things and very nearly died to her spell after it and because the non ended roughly when I died, I couldn't go collect my power items since it would mess up the positioning of the spellcard's familiars. In short, I had to do Kaguya's first 2 lifebars (which are 4 of her hardest 5 attacks) without full power. Somehow, I predicted a fucked up death. Still, this is the first of many 1 miss runs (probably). I actually called for an LNN when entering stage 5, oh well. Gonna go upload this now :>
EDIT: Hey, Gothitelle, wanna race to LNN? :V

Nice job! Seeing as you don't have many accomplishments in the main touhou games, it's actually really impressive that you got through DS! Even as a lunatic player in my day, I had trouble with it :V
-
Perfect Marisa fight on IN normal :V
....1 derp clip in the second part of the stage -eyeroll-
(Also, perfect TD stage 4. Pretty much the ONLY non-trivial part is the final spellcard.)
-
While not quite on the level of bigyihsuan's accomplishment, I managed to unlock DS's Extra Level after spending the last few days trying to clear scenes from levels 8-12. While it's probably not that big a deal all things considered, especially since I'm not good enough to clear anything from it at my current skill level, I'm still pretty proud of at least getting that far.
While I'm at it, I also cleared every scene from ISC about a week ago. Would've mentioned it then, but I don't really come by here too often, so it slipped my mind. <_<

Hey again everyone!
So yeah, as of a few hours ago or so, I finally managed to beat Perfect Cherry Blossom in lunatic mode for the 1st time ever! :D This one took long enough for me to get, I can say that much.
Perfect Cherry Blossom lunatic 1cc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCGCIvbjkdY)
Screenshot (http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o798/PurpleTheGuy/PerfectCherryBlossomlunaticmode1st1ccD_zps463b27d5.jpg)
This one I've been wanting for quite a while, like, since February. I've been on and off with this one, but now, finally, I have the 1st clear for Perfect Cherry Blossom, and with Marisa A to boot! This run was rather hilarious and loltastic, so to speak, but yeah, it actually worked out, haha, but I guess, what could you expect from a 1st lunatic 1cc of anything?
Anyhow, this makes PCB the 3rd Touhou game I've cleared in lunatic mode! ^^
-
Capped Mugetsu's first timeout phase (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4YDlrVwHSI).
-
Second UFO normal 1cc, this time with SanaeB! I even managed to cap both St. Nikou and Flying Fantastica!
-
Finally sat and grinded Mokou's spellcards yesterday, and as a result managed to reach "Possessed by Phoenix". Which I promptly died to due to panic and not knowing the route. Well, it's a good enough milestone for me. Will try to reach it with everyone else. Then maybe I'll stop being stubborn and actually look up the route ::)
-
Welp, I can chalk up a MarisaB 1cc now for EoSD.
I don't particularly like her as much as I like MarisaA.
-
http://score.royalflare.net/th143/levelscene143-8.html#L8S4
Got my ISC 8-4 WR back :>
-
Just beat EoSD hard with ReimuB. Few derp deaths on stage 5 but it was all good. Still had 2 bombs left at the end. Now all that's left for hard 1ccs in this game is MarisaB, which is my least favorite shot type in that game.
-
If you saw the rage thread, you would have seen me recently complaining about PCB Hard, such as Chen.
I just 1cc'd it, so hooray! No more dealing with Chen's Stage 2 nonsense!
Went into Yuyuko's battle with 6 lives, left with one extra. Lost five to her last two cards. Not my proudest moment. But, I still won, so I can't somplain.

Mountain of Faith Hard Mode 1cc!
This had a bit of an unexpected start, with me getting to Kanako's final spell on a random run when I previously only made it to Sanae (And I don't even play regularly nowadays). Decided to go practice mode for a bit today to smoothen out my stages a bit (as well as some boss cards) and I managed to get a run within a few tries that avoided the usual stupid mistakes in the first few stages and got to Aya losing only 1 or 2 lives. After that I had a decent stock and made it to Kanako with 4 or so lives, getting to VoWG with 3 and screwing up a little and ending up with 1 life remaining on clear with a pretty decent score of 531mil.
With that I've cleared PCB, MoF, TD and DDC on Hard Mode. Next will probably be Imperishable Night (was actually more focused on this than MoF as of late), though I wouldn't rule out EoSD.
-
Out of nowhere I pulled off the LNMNB UFO Stage 6 (http://youtu.be/_JFoOm2jvX4). Lots of luck meant I got this much earlier than I was expecting. I'm pretty sure the attempt before this I was like "Oh hey, 4 miss. I'm getting better". Oh well. I'm gonna go for a DDC Stage 6 perfect next. I tried it a while ago but ultimately gave up since I felt like my pure dodging skills weren't good enough for it.

Hey everyone, what's up?
So, I've gotten to beat Embodiment of Scarlet Devil on hard mode for the 1st time ever using Marisa A! Yeah, it's been quite a while, since I last played EoSD seriously. I've forgotten how much fun this game was, haha :)! This clear took me only a couple days to put together.

That's that for now. So, I guess it's time for the real fight to begin, me taking it up with EoSD lunatic mode!
-
I just got my first EoSD Extra clear! ReimuB, of course.
-
PoFV Hard Mode cleared with all characters. That's all non-fighting games cleared on all difficulties up to Hard with all shottypes and routes. Time to do the same in 7.5, 10.5 and 12.3 before I finally give 13.5 and 14 a try.

Congrats Free, that's amazing!
Pretty cool Youmu fight you had there

IN Hard 1cc, Border team.
I don't know...it feels undeserved. Off-and-on attempts for PCB took a total span of at least a couple months. I had just started IN Hard yesterday and already 1cc'd it on today's second run. I might go back and beat it with other teams to truly feel like I earned it. Although, on the first run I lost my last life at the very end of Hourai Jewel, so I was upset at that. But in the end...it just feels like a hollow victory. Odd.
-
Congratulations, FreeGothitelle! What a massive achievement. Maybe you could try playing PCB for score now, given that you can survive it on the highest difficulty without problems!
I'd still like to see you stream, though. It certainly would be interesting to see your strategies in action.

Thank you!
-
I just got a MoF XNB (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=34224)! I only died to Suwa Wars and Seven Stones, so that's an improvement from my next best attempt, which died twice on the former. Now to NMNB...

Do uni work
Get challenger in LoL
.....and maybe perfect some extra stages since focusing on full game survival is tiring
I :fail: but I also :toot:
;)
Keep working at it, you'll get there!
(PCB is easier than IN so it wasn't really a fair race)
-
Do uni work
Get challenger in LoL
So, exactly the same goals as me, heh. Congrats on the run.
-
Slowly getting better. Today marks my one year anniversary when I started playing the games.
Recent accomplishments:
Cleared all main Windows games with all shot types on Easy.
Cleared all main Windows games with at least one shot type on Normal (SA was the last).
-
DDC Extra Clear! (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=34247) I even managed a sight cap on Pristine Beat!
-
I finally made it to Stage 4 again in a PCB Lunatic 1lc attempt.
While extremely tired/groggy from not sleeping well for two days.
I consider that an achievement.
-
SA Luntaic Mode (with Ultra patch) 90fps 1lc No Focus No Bombs Pacifist No Vertical
1lc Lunatic HRtP No Amulets
Joking aside, I finally 1cc'd on normal a non-spinoff/phantasmagoria, and out of all of them Lotus Land Story. :smug:
-
PCB Lunatic 1-life clear! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34292)
Holy crap, what a rush. This was my first attempt that reached Stage 6 too. Thankfully I was able to keep my nerves in check for most of the Yuyuko fight. And just as I had wanted, I went into Resurrection Butterfly with enough bombs to cheese it in case i felt too uncomfortable.
This might be the last new survival accomplishment I get for PCB. Not that interested in going for a full perfect run because I don't trust the Stage 6 spam to cooperate. >.< Next up are some IN challenges, some of which are very long overdue.
-
Congratulations and keep up the good work, Funen! :toot:
I finally got around to making MarisaB playable in DDC Extra, and I got to Raiko's 6th nonspell in one attempt. :)
-
EoSD LNB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34304) (7 Miss)
>die tonnes while practicing stages 4,5 and 6
>fluke everything in full run
Eh I'll take it
Died to meiling because blegh
Died to books because lol
Died at the end of stage 4 because I messed up
Didn't capture patchouli's first card because she doesn't co-operate
Pretty sure that was the first time I've captured her last card, or at least not the lowest rank version of it.
Died to sakuya's first spell card because panic
Died to killing doll because it's impossible
Fluked eternal Meek
Fluked all of Remilia, except for dying twice to Scarlet Meister because it's even more impossible than killing doll.
-
TD Lunatic 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34309) It only took a week and it wasn't half as hard as UFO. :v
-
IN Stage 4A Lunatic perfect run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34310)
Holy shit finally. This is a bigger weight off my shoulders than you'd expect, because I no longer have to worry about Reimu's Last Spell. :V
EDIT: Why does it seem like whenever I do a full run of Stage 6B, I always end up failing most of Kaguya's spells? Still not sure if I really want to perfect this stage, but there is one good result so far: I captured all her Last Spells in one go for the first time. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34318) If I can just get a bit more comfortable at Rising World, I might have a chance.
EDIT #2: Wow I must be going too fast to be making this many edits. :P
First NMNB run of IN Stage 6B Lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34320) (failed the last three Last Spells, all in pretty derpy fashion lol).
My how quickly things have turned. For the first time, a full perfect run of this stage seems within reach, which is a little mind-blowing considering how much trouble I've had with this fight before.
-
As of right now, I have just got a 1cc of MoF on Normal Difficulty :). The run started off good with me doing much better then my previous runs due to some derpish stuff that happened in the first run. I can't remember what I died on but I might have a vid up tomorrow with the replay and commentary. I also got through Mountain of Faith using only one bomb and losing no lives on my first time getting to the card.
I remember where I died now I died 3 times at Stage 4 :V and 1 time to Kanako.
But I am happy that I got this as I felt like I could do it for the longest time but something always happened like I would lose all my lives on stage 4 or derp death to Hina.
EDIT: Video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9_QcJlp0zs)

IN Stage 4A Lunatic perfect run. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34310)
Grats man. That's one of my favourite accomplishments of my own, and it's nice to see others do the same. I tried to do 6B as well back in the day (as with when I did 4A and 6A, it was partially fueled by the fact that I simply couldn't find video on youtube of a run that I was happy with, i.e. with last spells as well) but Kaguya was too hard for me and then I quit touhou in general. If you really plan to do that, good luck, because I still want to see someone do it.

This seems to be the most appropriate place I can think of to mention this. Managed my first 1cc in Evanescent Existence. Been going for this on and off since around April. In hindsight, I should have either cleared easy or use practice mode more.
1cc Replay in normal (https://www.dropbox.com/s/tfst5yrax7dqrr7/Le_01%20normal%20clear.zip)
I don't know why, but this run came together when I decided to use my bombs for score on the stage 2 and 3 boss. I'll come back to Perfect Cherry Blossom scoring later.
-
Today, I finally decided to try grinding runs, without any expectations. End result?
EOSD NORMAL NB 1CC GET! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34342) :toot:
I was playing with different shottypes, but I don't feel like trying to get this with all of them. The others were literally just a few misses away from getting it too, so it really is just a matter of getting lucky in a few places and not derping in a few more. But I'm fine with what I have.
I really wanted to do this because I thought my previous clears, which were narrow even with bombs, didn't do Normal mode justice. It's noticeably different from harder modes, with some challenging patterns on its own. I'm pretty satisfied now. I got comfortable enough with all attacks, even those that gave me a lot of trouble earlier, like Scarlet Netherworld (which, of course, I had to fail on the one run that got the clear -_-).
It felt awesome to work for this, even if it was just a day. Just run after run, without giving a damn about result, just having fun dodging attack after attack. My first run today didn't clear the game even with all continues, can you believe that? And here I am now. Moral of the story: don't ignore grinding runs. Raw skill is good, but you might also need to get used to the game. Even if things don't look smooth at first, you might just plain need some time playing the game to show what you can really do. The only thing that's needed is to enjoy what you're doing.
-
Eeeh.... captured Remi's first spellcard, Young Demon Lord.
Not that big of an achievement I guess, but at least I'm getting better. :P
EDIT: MOF NNB :toot:
Admittedly, it could have been a lot better. 1 death in stage 4 was BS, and another was a clip death. 1 death in stage 5 was me getting trapped by RNG. I could have made it 4 extra lives left in the end instead of 1.
-
IN Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34368)
Got this after a bit of practice on Kaguya following the failed run I posted in the derp thread. I was quite sleepy during this run, so there were a lot of silly screwups on the stage portions and on easy spells such as Three Sacred Treasures and Event Horizon, but I'm happy to have bagged another Lunatic clear. Perhaps with some more memorization and better consistency on the random stuff I may go for an LNB at some point (finalA of course, because Kaguya 2hard4me), but that's a challenge for another day.
Gonna do MoF Lunatic 1cc next.
-
DDC Lunatic 1cc. Maybe Marisa-B is "broken" but whatever. That is every main series Lunatic 1cc from EoSD to present (I've also covered extra stages and last words and whatnot). Maybe I'll try to learn scoring now.
-
I've done this around April (I think), but I haven't figured out how to find my IN replay files until earlier this morning. I think this is still worth sharing here.
Reincarnation "Returning-Bridge Ichijo" Timeout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34375)
At the time, I thought it would be a good idea to time out this spellcard. In hindsight, I questioned why I didn't rely on the border team's smaller hitbox for this.
-
After some half-assed attempts in the last month and 2 or 3 hours of serious attempts today I managed to beat the Extra Stage of PCB with Sakuya A! It's my first Extra clear and it's a wonderful feeling, even if I didn't suffer as much as I thought I would ahahaha
The stage section became pretty trivial after having memorised every single part of it (and the action is so hectic that it was quite fun repeating the stage again and again) while the biggest problems with Ran were posed by Wizard Fox Thoughts and Princess Tenko, but it was just a matter of knowing how to deal with them instead of running around screaming and dying like an idiot.
I was quite prepared for Descent of Izuna Gongen thanks to ISC and I resolved to deal with Banquet of 12 General Gods bombing like crazy because fuck that shit Sakuya as tons of bomb and I have to learn how to use them efficiently.
Now I'm going to try to become consistent in clearing this stage and go for the Phantasm Stage, I've tried it a couple of times and it seems exactly the same thing with the little exception that the bullets move 100% faster... And then there is Yukari but I've got a lot of time to suffer with her.
-
I have just got a PCB 1cc on normal difficulty. It was an amazing run filled with close dodges, epic spellcard captures, and some derpy derp deaths all culminating in a capture of Resurrection Butterfly -30% Reflowering even though it was only my second time making it to the spellcard. So yeah it was a very good 1cc :]
Replay down below if you want to see it.
-
For the past 6 days (I think), I've gotten normal clears in the PC-98 shooters (2-5). I can't help but feel I lucked out with PoDD. I doubt I will get around to doing a clear in HRtP since I have little faith in my abilities to play a breakout style game.
Tempted to learn PoDD, LLS, and MS on the higher difficulties. Will probably get around to posting my scores later in the high score threads.
-
MoF Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34412)
It's one of my weakest games, but thanks to the large amount of bombs, I was able to get it over with quickly.
I'll probably do UFO Hard next.
-
I randomly decided to give TD Ultra Normal a try with Reimu, and I got a 1cc! :toot:
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34425
Even though I kind of barely got the clear, something is still better than nothing. :3

IN Stage 6B Lunatic NMNB run with 4 out of 5 Last Spells captured. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34435)
A new personal best on this stage. Only failed Rising World, and it happened with 3 seconds left. It was bound to happen sometime, right? :V This experience can only help me though.
-
I finally learned how to use Yuyuko in Hisoutensoku, which is gonna prove to be really useful since Yuyuko's the relaxed powerhouse of the roster.
-
I finally got my EoSD Hard 1cc! Apparently doing a half-assed run right before bed gets shit done. :D
-
I can't believe I finally did it! I haven't played any of the games in a while but I finally finished EOSD on easy with Both A and B characters. I can move onto normal now. But the best thing I've done was I tried IN route B with team A for the first try and I 1cc'd it on easy! Geez talk about clench! Still would like to move onto harder difficulties soon.
-
Holy shit I just beat PCB Phantasm!!! Why is it that I can suddenly pick up something I haven't done in a month or two and clear it with little trouble? Whatever, I'll take my victory!
-
PCB Phantasm Clear yassssss
It was a terrible terrible run and I was able to finish it only because I spammed Sakuya B's bombs to skip Danmaku Bounded Field in its entirety but IT'S A CLEAR NONETHELESS :flowerpower:
-
UFO Hard 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34465)
The last Windows Hard 1cc I was missing. I had put this off for awhile because I heard about it being harder than most of the other games on Lunatic. Based on my experience, I'd say it's about on par with EoSD and IN Lunatic. The UFO system could get annoying at times, but overall, I enjoyed the few days I spent going for this clear, and I think I made the right choice putting this off until I had some Lunatic clears under my belt. Hopefully UFO Lunatic doesn't drive me insane when I go for that.
PoFV, SA and TD Lunatic are the clears I'll probably go for next.
-
PCB Hard 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34485)
This run is bad. Like, hilariously bad. I finished the game with 0 lives and 0 bombs and I bombed and breaking-bordered (does this even make sense) the entirety of Resurrection Butterfly because I wanted to finish the game and I didn't want to take any risk.
Still this is my first Hard 1cc and it feels so good!

Nonsense. When you're going for a first clear of anything, you shouldn't need to hold yourself back with any extra conditions or take any unnecessary risks. Use all the resources you have at your disposable to get it done; only worry about performing "better" on that mode later on. Congrats on the clear!
And I believe the term would be "border-broke" here. ;)

Thanks!
I'm talking myself down so much because I know I can do better and I know it's just a matter of focus, with the exception of the fifth stage I think I've got a solid grasp of the rest of the game. And I regret sounding so miserable, in fact I'm really proud of myself! I think that clearing SA on Normal did wonders to my self esteem as a Touhou gamer, I feel pumped up and most importantly I'm having tons of fun playing Touhou, it's a beautiful feeling.
-
PCB has given me so much trouble, especially Youmu's spell cards for some reason, just can't seem to see the openings in time. BUT NO MORE! I can't believe I finally beaten PCB on easy, I've tried and tried again but could never make it all the way through Yuyuko. I feel bad because I used continues but now that I have the stage to practice I can start working on my 1cc run and unlock extra mode! (then cry when I try it...)
-
Probably the best place to mention this since I rather not resurrect the Fantastic Danmaku Festival thread.
For anyone who has played Fantastic Danmaku Festival, I accidentally discovered a kind of safe spot in stage 2 when I was trying out lunatic. I've been able to replicate the results on hard, but I haven't been too successful replicating this on lunatic. On all the attempts I did this on hard, I pretty much stay at the same spot on my replay. My mindset when I was checking if the start of stage 2 can be a safespot was that the bullet patterns felt suspiciously like those at the end of stage 2 of PCB. I have no idea if this was done before (not enough lunatic videos of this game and not sure if there is anything on places like nico nico douga).
Lunatic Stage 2 Demonstration (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVG0PuNnwf0)
Its the first 40 or so seconds of this run. I just decided to record the whole stage since there aren't enough lunatic videos out there.

Finishing with no resources seems like a pretty epic clear tbh, I wouldn't feel bad about that run if I was you :P
-
okay i'm totally going to yelled at for this but i 1cced mof using marias b broken lasers only for the final spellcard, like seriously that's how bad i was with the final spellcard.(this was on easy mode)
-

Kanako's final attack on easy is harder then her final attack on normal mode - which is no slouch for normal mode difficulty, either.
You were dealing with higher-level normal difficulty stuff there, NOT easy mode level. It's natural, and work-aroundable.
Bomb well and it's easy to get there with enough resources to bomb-spam through it.
I'm not sure if there actually is a set pattern to it.
Uh... shouldn't it be obvious?
It does. It's more clearly defined on normal difficulty and up, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNGLWaMbfAw) but the flowery pattern in the center still occurs on easy mode - showing that it does have a pattern. The outer-layer is less dense, however, but instead of folding back in then flying in the opposite direction, it simply flies off in a predetermined direction.

yep i'm just glad I finally unlocked practice mode for stage 6 and although I can only use Marisa B it will still help me with that final card. Kanako overall is actually pretty easy but her final spellcard is insane for easy mode. I'm not sure if there actually is a set pattern to it.

Also, in terms of actual achievements... NMNB Kanako fight (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34504) on normal. :V

Just so you know, in MoF you can replay-glitch to unlock stages-- just watch a full-run replay with that character/difficulty (fast-forwarding with Ctrl is fine) and it'll unlock that character's stage practice for you.
-
I just made it to Rans 3rd last spellcard(The one with Chen) :). This is actually the fastest I am learning an extra bosses attacks.
The hardest spellcards for me are Rans 4th and 7th, but I still have problems with her 2nd,4th,and 6th.
I will probably beat Ran soon.

Fantastic Danmaku Festival Hard 1cc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uU8l_7MXt8)
I had to bomb spam a lot for this clear. This fangame is rather generous with the amount of resources you are given. I also got rather lazy annotating the video. I don't think I have any intentions doing a lunatic clear of this.
-
3MNB MOF Normal, perfect up until the death fairy right before Kanako. (I died to that? :getdown:)
I'm close to my NNN :V :3
-
Now that I have a computer that doesn't totally suck, I cleared all 6 routes on Fairy Wars lunatic.
The runs are all really sloppy, but whatever. A clear is a clear.
-
not really a real accomplishment but i got to stage 6 on easy mode of ufo, sadly had to quit right away to stupid bullets going all over the place, still a ton of bs but at least enjoyable,(If you know why i'm so happy see my second recent post in rage thread).
-
I just cleared DDC lunatic with Sakuya A. It was surprisingly easy with all the bombs and Sakuya A being awesome.
-
:toot::toot: I just cleared PCB Extra Everyone!!! :toot: :toot:
Barring a few derpy mistakes(2 Lives lost at Kokkuri-san's Contract :colonveeplusalpha:, Life lost on the 8th nonspell) I think I did pretty good. As usual, Replay is below if you want to see it.
I actually regained Motivation after gameovering to Illusion God "Descent of Izuna Gongen" with 2 bombs in stock. I made a promise to myself that I would defeat Ran before the day is over and it worked. :)
I worked for a while to get this, so I hope you enjoy the replay that I have provided.
-
okay cool got first legit 1 cc with marisa c on mof. so that makes three touhou games 1 cced!
-
I've finally cleared DDC on Normal with Reimu A.
It took what seems like forever! Even if I played it seriously for one week during July and I've got back to it the last week aha. But for how much I love the systems in this game and the shot types and the first four stages I absolutely despise the last two, especially the final boss battle.
But while using Marisa B led me only to failure (I know I could bomb spam the entire game but I find her really fun and I prefer enjoying myself instead of doing something that would net me a simple 1cc without any joy) Reimu A made the clear possible after a few tries where essentially I adapted to the mechanics of the Gohei (it really feels awful to use) and learning how to do Benben instead of Yatsuhashi.
And also I've bombed the entirety of the sixth stage like there is no tomorrow but fuck it I hate that stage I hate midboss Seija and I hate hate hate Sukuna.
So blabbity blabbity blah here is my replay. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34551)
And here is a Sakuya A Normal 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34552) which I did right after the first one. I've never really played seriously with her so I didn't really plan to get very far into the game but she's pretty broken aha. I've also managed to perfect Seija's but I can't really be satisfied with it.

Never 1CC EOSD because of Sakuya
Never 1CC on Normal TD because of Miko ( with Youmu )

Is it okay to resurrect the Fantastic Danmaku Festival later? Version 1.03 of the game has been released. In it includes a spellcard challenge (the only thing I can compare this to are the things like the last words in IN). As far as achievements go:
I managed to capture 4 of the stage 1 challenges (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7TGB3LNWOc)
I'm going to have to do live plays just to see if the 5th spellcard lags on me while recording later.
Edit: Was double checking the forum rules. I read its better to make a new topic and link to the old one. Just not sure if I should make one right away.
-
I've going through all of the games in order on normal first. So far:
--EoSD 1cc
--PoFV 1cc
--MoF 1cc
However, I'm working on MoF hard right now because 1) Normal was so easy I was disappointed and 2) The extra stage got re-locked for some reason ???. I had 1/3 of the health bar left on VoWG on my last attempt (after screwing up the first stage a bunch of times)

I'd say in the specific case of fangame threads, it's better to revive the old thread. Fan games get so little discussion that it can be useful to keep the discussion in one place.
Better to create a new thread if it's a more general topic.

After doing some runs for the past few days, I got a PCB Extra clear! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34595) :toot:
...Except I'm not glad at all. About half of Ran's patterns, spellcards and nonspells alike, are an unenjoyable mess I don't want to touch again, so I don't even care to do it with other shottypes. The only good part is that I can finally face Yukari, but...

Got my first IN Hard 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34603) just now, much to my surprise.
This was actually my first time playing IN on Hard. I had seen videos of Lunatic runs before, of course, but I'd never tried anything above Normal myself. Since I also remembered hearing that IN's Hard was supposed to be a big jump in difficulty, I thought I'd play it safe and give myself 2 extra lives to start with. I need not have worried; my inexperience did cause me some trouble occasionally, especially against Kaguya, but the Border Team's small hitbox and Reimu's ridiculous deathbomb saw me through to the end fairly easily, and I finished with 3 extra lives and 0 bombs.
-
Opened up MoF after not playing anything for months and got my first ever capture of Suwa War. Now the only one missing from the stage is Jade River. Seems like I always do my best when I'm out of practice.
Also wow profile says I haven't posted here since last December. :ohdear: Where does the time go.
-
SA Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34608). This seemed intimidating at first, but I guess it is one of the easier Lunatics after all, even without ReimuC's bomb.
4 main games left.

Double Dealing Character Lunatic 2-Miss No Bombs (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34612)
Pretty strange run. I NMNB'd stages 1-4. Died to Seija's last spell (I was a nervous wreck and did it weirdly). Then I failed Sukuna's last spell at the very end! ARGHHH!
I can't tell whether this is a victory or a loss. I lost a potential NMNB AND a 1MNB, yet I did improve upon my 3MNB.
Maybe I'll take this further. I've noticed some strange consistency in stage 3 I didn't have before.
-
Got past "Woo." (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34620)
... Actually, that's the farthest I've gotten at IN Extra...
-
Did a few runs of IN Extra tonight as I had some time to kill. First two runs were me shaking off some rust, but on the third, I finally, finally redeemed myself on Phoenix Tail, and I even managed to luck my way through the eighth nonspell. Too bad I messed up my streaming on Possessed by Phoenix, but whatever. More mental strengthening for the future if nothing else.
-
So there I was, once again with my futile attempts trying to No-Item 5-2 in ISC and...IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED:
(http://s27.postimg.org/fj2ln8gub/th143_000.png)
I FINALLY NO ITEM THIS BASTARD OF AN SCENE!!
And it "ONLY" took 5,000+ ATTEMPTS...
:wat: I don't exactly know how to feel about this, but at the end it IS a victory so yeah! :)
This damned scene was SO CLOSE to actually make me quit trying to No Item all ISC...REALLY close!...
I actually got sick of the BGM for this scene, I DO NOT want to hear it anymore, not for a LOOONG time at least :D
So I mostly feel good about this, but it makes me wonder, if I took this many attempts to No Item this thing, how many will the other 5 scenes left to no item (!), particularly freaking Fitful Nightmare take for me?... :ohdear:
-
Finally did a 1cc of MoF on Hard, with no lives or bombs left by the end of VoWG...and I was about to get walled in. I am utterly shocked that I didn't have a heart attack after that. On to SA, now!
-
I got another Normal 1cc, and this one is on Imperishable Night with the Magic Team! :toot:

IN Extra Stage Clear (Border Team) (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34672)
Extra stages are so much fun and I love Reach for the Moon Immortal Smoke so much, I think I've spent 3 or 4 hours this afternoon on this but I can't really tell since I was enjoying myself too much. Now I'll try to get a better run with the ghastly ladies, I'm still trying to figure out how to capture Fujiyama Volcano doing some cool things with Myon, it may be one of my favourite pattern in the whole game. :P
-
Decided to look at more danmakufu scripts.
Fairies of Sorceries Normal 690 Million Run Annotated (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EifMF9uzFlM)
Second time I managed to clear this (couldn't save the replay for the first clear since I wasn't sure where the save replay option was located). Prior to this run, I had no idea there was more to the burst system other than hitting the c key to use a burst.

UFO Normal 1cc with Reimu A (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34726)
I've been playing this game for just three days so my UFO routes after the third stages are pretty much improvised but still I've managed to reach Byakuren with 6 lives and 1 bomb. "No problem" I say to myself, "though I've beaten Hijiri just once I've got enough bomb to skip every single attack 'till Superhuman and the last two spellcards are not that difficult, I can do it!"
Then I proceed to LOSE ALL MY LIVES BECAUSE I'M A DUMBASS and when FF begins I've got 0 remaining lives and 0 bombs.
And then I capture FF on the second time I've ever seen that card.
I'm still laughing.
-
PoFV Lunatic 1cc with Marisa (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34763)
That was fast. Got this on my first attempt in over a year. I was doing pretty badly against Shikieiki, but I just barely managed to pull through and beat her on my very last life.
3 main games left. TD is said to be an easy game, so I'll play that next.

You know, this is all the more impressive after having seen the gradual build-up of both successively better LNBs and failures. It shows how much practice this really takes. Not something I'd ever do, that's for sure.

Deceit Sign "Reverse Needle Attack" Lunatic timeout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=34930)
200 tries... How can a spell card that's only 20 seconds long be so hard to timeout?
-
Belated congrats to Jovial. Very nice work dude, we all knew you'd pull it off.
As for recent stuff, I've only just gotten back into the swing of things (busy with work, which I'm thankful for). But another IN Stage 6B run that only failed Rising World might as well count, because that means I'm back to where I used to be. I also hadn't seen any of the other Last Spells in weeks lol, I'm almost surprised I didn't choke on one of them instead.
-
Grats, Jovial!
Aside from that, I kinda had a random thought, and this would be more of a "joint" accomplishment, if anything...if it does happen. Is anyone down for a joint ISC timeout run? I already timed out a good 10 cards so far (which I know isn't much), but it's just an idea.
Frowning upon Day 10 for obvious reasons...even though the very last one is the easiest of all the ten cards...
-
I honestly think 10-4 is pretty much humanly impossible to timeout. Surviving the first spinhell phase is hard, but manageable because it's consistently the same so you can build up muscle memory, and Remilia is also centered on the screen. After the first wave, though, Remilia randomly moves, which not only throws the possibility of muscle memory out of the window, but means that going through the side she is closest to is even tighter than it was before (less distance Remilia is from a wall = less distance between the knives at that wall - and the first wave is already quite tight), and can be ridiculously tight if Remilia moves quite horizontally towards a wall.
The only way I could see it being remotely possible for a human is avoiding going to the wall closest to her by taking advantage of the fact that you only have to go about 3/4s of a counterclockwise circle around Remilia. Which I guess means starting the spinhell phase in the bottom left corner if Remilia is closer to the left side, and starting at the top right corner (lol) if she's closer to the right wall. And getting good enough at improvising the different speeds you need to move at certain positions on the screen, accounting for the difference Remilia's position will make (further away from her = gotta move faster). Still really ridiculous and still probably unreasonable.
Then of course there'll be just the straight up painful ones that I'm not sure anybody would wanna do (5-2, 10-7).

Basically what I had in mind anyway regarding the difficulty behind 10-4, but not the possible solutions to it. Maybe somewhere down the road, someone may pull it off, but I don't know. Most likely a 1CC lunatic scorerunner would have the best chance in my opinion. Not to forget to mention 10-8 because...well, clipping through the obstacles are inevitable.
Worse comes to worse, I just might consider days 1 to 9 only. 10 is a bonus, I guess.
As for my part, I've timed out 3-6, 3-7, 4-4 (anyone can accomplish this one), 5-1, 7-1, 7-4, 7-8 (sadly, I accidentally overwrote this one), 8-1, 8-2, and 9-6. No-item timeout, by the way. Screw small hitboxes.

DDC Perfect Stage 6 on lunatic. (http://youtu.be/9Ed8nHVJ0pw) Surprisingly easy, even with the extra difficulty of dodging the 2nd nonspell. Also had trouble with stupid stuff like "The Seven Issun-Boushi" because stacked glowing bullets form an unintelligible mass to me :V
Oh well, was something I wanted to do for a while but then IN 1ccs stole took up all my time...
-
So I'm warming up a bit this morning with some Rising World, aiming for 5 captures to get my mind into things (yes I stole from Jovial's training methods, don't hurt me lol).
I captured the card in 4 of my first 5 attempts. None of them seemed particularly lucky either, my mind was pretty focused at the time. Naturally it took a while to get the fifth capture because by then I was losing focus again, but I thought my little experience this morning was pretty cool.
-
I recently finished my Touhou normal 1-cc grand tour, which entailed me 1cc'ing all the windows games (Except PoFV) on normal. I only 1cc'd each of them once, except IN, which I 1cc'd with all 4 teams, both endings.
I'm currently working on StB, and after I full clear that I'll go back through the games getting their hard 1cc's.

Finally managed to get a Hard mode 1CC of Imperishable Night! Was a little surprisingly as I bungled some easy stuff on Stage 3 and 4 and wasn't in good shape going into stage 5 but I somehow had 3 lives going into stage 6. Grabbed a capture of Kaguya's 3rd last spell too which I've always had trouble with though I didn't get the other four (lol).
With that that's 5 games Hard 1CC'd (PCB, TD, DDC, MoF, IN in that order). Next will probably have to be EoSD though the lack of lives will be tough. There's also SA, TD and DDC extras which I still haven't been able to beat and CtC which I still haven't managed to 1cc on normal (granted I just discovered it more recently)
-
Hey everyone, it's been a while! Sorry I've been gone for a while, just been writing programs and code everyday, more-or-less.
Well, anyways, I finally got my first ever 1cc of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil in lunatic mode! I've been wanting this clear since late August, and well, it finally happened, and it was when I actually had time to play again for a little bit! :D
Took me long enough to do, heh.
EoSD lunatic mode 1cc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPE2ZJsaFPs)
Well, this makes EoSD the 4th Touhou game I've cleared in lunatic mode, and I guess I'll go beat Flandre next (Or I might do some other thing, I don't know, hmm...), though I'll have to put that one off for a while, due to school stuff (again, writing programs & codes and all that good stuff, lol). Getting a little closer to beating all of the Touhou STG games on lunatic, and me playing other STGs more and more often as well.
Well, that's that for now, I guess! :)
-
finally got a 1cc of TD on easy. this took way to long. I really suck at this game for some reason.

FINALLY, I DID IT. PODD LUNATIC 1CC! (http://i.imgur.com/ELC4Trw.jpg)
I never imagined myself doing this back when I started, infact I thought that I would never get any game on Lunatic (heck, back then I was having trouble to 1cc DDC Normal... with SakuyaA...). But here I am, not only managed to clear some games in Lunatic, but today I did it on the "hardest" one! I'm really happy with this one :).
Granted, I used the easiest character (Yumemi), but it's still a Lunatic 1cc.
UFO Next, hopefully.

Finally sat down and worked on SA's Extra stage long enough to clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/replays/th11/th11_udM301.rpy) it. Subterranean Rose ended a few runs, but this time, I got there with 2 extra lives, which was enough to finish it off.

Phantasm Clear (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oQli_WZT2Q)
After a few months break from Touhou, I randomly got this. Captured 0 of Yukari's spellcards, still finished with 2 lives. No idea why I used to have difficulty with it, lol

SA Normal Stage 6 Perfect (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=35079)
Only Normal mode, but it's nice to finally get everything right after playing the stage for fun so often. Utsuho's first spell card went a lot more smoothly after I figured out how to lead the suns so I wouldn't have to move over to the corners and read the blue bullets at steep angles.

You were experiencing the AI rank. Your opponent is easier each time you lose to them.

Took way too long, finally 1cc'd IN on Normal, marking my first ever 1cc. I nearly managed to 1cc Hard before Normal, as I had made it to 6B on Hard, before dying to Eirin's spell card (didn't know what it did at the time). Still, hopefully I can start 1cc'ing other games soon. My next target is probably going to be PCB, but we'll see.

Alright, I don't know if this is up to the standards of some (Most, in fact) other achievements on this very same thread, but for me personally it is quite an accomplishment!:
(http://s28.postimg.org/47xvvnoql/th143_000.png)
And right after that!....
(http://s4.postimg.org/ejl1c1nkt/th143_001.png)
YES!!!!!!!!
I FINALLY did complete the entire game with NO ITEMS!!!!
(I didn't hovered over the final secret achievement for spoiler purposes... although its not like you cant check it out in the wikia or something lol)
Well, that was cool!
I really didn't though I would be able to do this at first...but I have to say, I am glad I decided to, this game was VERY entertaining! Trying to discover how to do all scenes itemless was quite the blast! (Except for 5-2. Once again, SCREW YOU BULL**** SCENE) and (Obviously, at least for me) quite a challenge, and I love challenges!
I took me 60ish hour of gameplay to do it... which is nowhere near close to some veterans (And some people on this very same forum, I am sure) who can do it in 15 hours or something like that LOL but I am honestly happy with this anyway!
So, that was it. Now that theres literally no reason at all to go back to this game (Except scoring I guess, but I am not into scoring anyway), its time to go back to the main games... It has been a lot of time since I have played them seriously xD...
-
Wow, congratulations, BulletZ. I could never hope to accomplish that kind of task myself, and I respect those who put in much more patience and time into these games than myself. Also, in my opinion, I think that 60hrs is actually rather quick. I know people can obviously do quicker, but it's good to see that you acknowledge that fact, and are still satisfied with your end result.
-
Might as well mention some things I've done this week before I forget(really only 2 things).
PCB Phantasm 90 FPS (http://youtu.be/A3IYwBVaWzA)
SoEW Normal ReimuA Clear (http://youtu.be/ieP2NR7rQno)
Made quite a bit of mistakes in both videos. The phantasm run is probably the first successful run I did at 90 fps.
-
I cleared hard on the UFO boss rush patch. It's nice to know that I can survive most patterns in hard without too much trouble. Though, 2 of my 4 deaths were to Murasa's second nonspell and Shou's second spell, and that's really silly.
-
PoFV Lunatic 1CC with Marisa (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHCd8L0XEEQ)
Highlights include not getting hit on the first 5 stages and only needing 2 attempts to beat Shiki. Glad to finally get a lunatic 1cc without using a super broken Medicine or Aya.
-
Now for something smaller:
Got a SA 1cc Normal with MarisA blind (Blind as in not ever having using Marisa... Not just in this game but in like EVER!).
Only barely, I was on my last life by the very final card!...
Damn, I am so used to slower! Reimu. Plus Marisa has a bigger hitbox... and the shottype doesn't do as much damage as Reimu does, AND it also needs more power points AND ALSO her bomb is short!...
Whats exactly the point of using Marisa again? Her speed is more of a disadvantage to me. I died like 3 times due to not begin used to her insane speed. ALL of the deaths were incredibly stupid... I even lost one in the streaming section of stage 6... That was an spectacular FAIL!!! (That one was 100% my fault though. The rest... well they are also my fault, but because of character differences!)
Don't get me wrong, it was fun to play as someone else other than Reimu, but...What the hell, I am sure Marisa has to do SOMETHING better than Reimu? (Other than More range, which honestly didn't change much how I played).
-
I am sure Marisa has to do SOMETHING better than Reimu?
MarisaA and B can deal a lot of damage quickly with their bombs if you use them point-blank, and MarisaA has (I think) the second easiest Satori fight. Still, SA in particular is really one-sided on which shottypes are good
-
Marisa A also gets more bombs as compensation for needing more power, and I believe she deals almost as much damage as Reimu A at a distance if you're good at staying unfocused while directly under the boss. I would consider her to be one of the stronger non-Reimu A shot types in SA.
Marisa B's strength is versatility, of course, but she also has the potential to deal more damage than any other shot type if you can shotgun bosses. If you combine her Wood or Earth shotgun with a point-blank bomb, you can end almost any boss attack very quickly.
Marisa C...Well, her bombs can be useful against Koishi, I guess, and you can get twice as much use out of them if you death bomb. She also has an easier Satori fight, but since Reimu A's Satori is the hardest of the lot anyway, that's not saying much.
Also, perhaps I'm just blind or something, but I swear I never really noticed a speed difference between different shot types in SA (apart from Reimu C unfocused when not firing)...
-

Yeah, I noticed the Satori fight was rather easy... or at least it should of have been, the 2nd STB card killed me and made me use like 3 bombs... but that was my fault and the fact that I wasn't used to the incredibly short invincible time of MarisA bombs (Most of my deaths were due to that and crashing into bullets because lol high speed).
But yeah I can see how it would be easy with replaying it once or twice.

Also, perhaps I'm just blind or something, but I swear I never really noticed a speed difference between different shot types in SA (apart from Reimu C unfocused when not firing)...
I only discovered that MarisA works differently and the Focused shot is actually the spread but weaker one and the Unfocused one is the not-spread but stronger one by stage 4... I facepalmed as soon as I actually looked at my shots. LOL. At least I did discovered that by that point, or else maybe I wouldn't even have cleared...
So Marisa B is capable of shotgunning, eh? I will have to give her a try later on then, I love characters capable of doing major damage by taking risks with shotgunning! (One of the reasons my favorite shottype in PCB is Reimu B).
And by the way, I do know that SA isnt exactly the most balanced game when it comes to Shottypes, I went with Marisa fully knowing that I was going to have a harder time than with Reimu A, not just because everyone says ReimuA is BEST SHOTTYPE LOL, but also because, as I said in a previous post, I never have really used Marisa in a serious run before. So her speed + bigger hitbox was also an issue on top of all of the issues related to the shottype...
But it was fun! lol.

Touhou Ikaruga 1cc on the highest difficulty. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciov6lm3QP0)
Cool game.
Also too many insane things in this thread.
-
I did a random run of PCB stage 5, and it ended up being a NMNBNBB run. I am rather happy, since it's been on my todo list for quite a long time, but it feels strange to just get the run after having not played the stage for months.
-
SA Stage 4 Normal NMNB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=35145)
...As Marisa B, though, not Reimu A. Double Black Death Butterfly still sucks big time, even on Normal.
Even without that, though, Satori gave me more trouble than I was expecting. I thought Philosopher's Stone was going to be the cause of most of my failures, but Princess Undine quickly proved me wrong. It seems like Satori can just box you in whenever she feels like it, and I'm not very good at dashing through the blue bullet streams.
I have to say, though, I think I'm starting to like Marisa B. She doesn't have homing, but she does a much better job of hitting the boss from any angle than Reimu B does. I've actually got a 50% capture rate with Marisa B for Nuclear Fusion, which beats my Reimu A capture rate by a fair bit.

Mentioning this here before I forget (posted this in the high score thread earlier).
PCB 1 Billion Lunatic (http://youtu.be/KAXMnVTG5HI) (ReimuB)
Managed to pull off a run that scores a billion. I think what I need to work on is generally better survival since this run is filled with mistakes notably in stage 3 and 4. If I plan on scoring higher, I will probably have to learn proper border timings. If you question the music in the video, it was because I was listening to some PoDD music while playing. I decided the replay wouldn't feel complete unless I record it with the PoDD music I was listening to in the background.

Riverbed Soul Saver Lunatic 1CC.
During which I capped Yamataizer, Masquereidoscope, and Shangri-La Genesis.
2 lives 2 bombs to spare at the end.

SA Normal Stage 6 NMNB...with Marisa C (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=35198)
This was a pleasant surprise. I thought I was just doing a quick run of the stage to unwind after a train wreck of a practice session against Nitori's Satori, and somehow, I ended up getting a perfect run with the shot type that's essentially a weaker Reimu A. I even went ahead and captured Utsuho's third spell card without the safe line method this time. :)
-
So I got sick of practicing the stages so much that I actually felt like going for an actual achievement today.
So I decided to boot IN, start a Lunatic game and I effectively 1cc it!
This would be my 2nd Lunatic 1cc! Even though I am pretty sure I could have gotten it weeks earlier if I wanted to, but I just love abusing the Practice Stage option both because I want to practice (duh) and also just because I find Stages 3+ fun to play!
It was a very... crappy run, though. I spammed bombs at everything that was even remotely treating... even attacks I am sure I could probably have done without bombs... but that's how firsts 1cc tend to be, right?
Fun fact: I actually died and uses some bombs on Stage 2. Probably because I didn't practiced it at all! I think I used less resources in Stage 3 than in 2...
That begin said... To all those people who says Kaguya is among the easiest/weakest final bosses: PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS:
Resources at the start of Kaguya?s fight:
(http://s30.postimg.org/ivv36vimp/th003.png)
But after the fight....
(http://s24.postimg.org/cf2x5ua3p/th004.png)
Wut. Just a lone bomb in reserve... were did the other shitload of resources went?! LOL...
Kaguya singlehandly murdered nearly half of the entire game?s resources...She is not really that weak/easy AT ALL. it seems. Or I just sucked more than usuall and had bad luck... probably the latter.
Either way it was a fun challenge. MoF is probably next!
-
Kaguya is generally agreed upon to be one of the hardest final bosses on lunatic, if not the hardest, in the series. She is also very threatening on normal mode, but she's easy on easy mode. I haven't really played hard mode ever, so I don't know about that difficulty.
Using practice mode is a good thing. A smart idea. Something a lot more people should do, even if they're just going for a clear. Especially if it's a first clear, since people tend to struggle with those more than later clears. And yeah, First 1ccs tend to be very...messy. And there's no reason to feel bad about it. There is always chance to play the game again and do better. Congratulations.

Fuck you knife hitboxes. Fuck you RNG. Fuck you time limits. Fuck you "random" movement. Fuck you unavoidable deaths. Fuck you Sakuya.
PS One sitting.

I think that's the one and ONLY scene in the entire game were the RNG can be so bad that it kills you immediately with absolutely NO CHANCE to escape, no matter if you have computer reflexes or something, nothing is stopping Sakuya from just teleporting you into a knife killing you instantly... Its just ridiculous :/
Also...
Ying Yang Orb as a Sub? isn't that item broken or something? I heard it doesn't works (As in, it doesn't actually makes your hitbox smaller)... maybe someone here can clarify?
-
Yeah, totally.
I don't know if it's broken or not but I use it for a psychological boost.
-
It's been a while, but I've been making progress on Phantasmagoria Trues Unseen Standard. I got through Unseen 2 yesterday and I'll have time after exams for more serious attempts at the route.

DDC Semi-blind Easy 1cc (Sakuya A)
I guess this is technically an accomplishment, even though I admit it barely qualifies. "Semi-blind" because my first credit ended in a ragequit on Kagerou when I died with something like 7 bombs in stock. In retrospect I likely still would've gotten the 1cc had I continued. :V
I bought this game when it came out on Playism but only now played it due to a lack of motivation. I did Easy because I suck even on Normal and haven't touched a shmup since...July I think. Overall I still had fun though (except for Seija's fight), which is something I haven't said about a Touhou game in too long. Maybe I should just chill out and play Easy more often...
-

It only works on lasers.

Oh yeah, that's what I read.
Well... so its all about the Camera or the Cursed Doll...
Cursed Doll FTW- its OP and its just better than the Camera, no matter how you spin it. Except on very certain scenes... you should ALMOST ALWAYS use the Cursed Doll Sub if you are going to No Item scenes!

Personally, I still find that just making your visible hitbox smaller (ie using Yin-Yang Orb sub) is still useful in a handful of situations. I used it to no-item 10-5 because why would you even consider using Camera and Cursed Doll doesn't actually reduce the number of waves you need to survive. I guess 8-4 may also benefit from it? Either way, there's hardly any use for it, but it still is useful.

I am convinced the cursed doll will nearly ALWAYS reduce the amount of time it takes to cap a spellcard...
I am pretty sure if it wasn't for the cursed doll, my capture of 10-5 would be a fail instead. You can abuse the additional shots in many ways, even in that spell card!!!
Tell me how it is possible to end 10-5 before Yukari does the 2nd phase twice without the Cursed doll! Because it IS possible to do just that with the dolls help!
-
(http://i58.tinypic.com/2a5g6r4.jpg)
I don't know where to upload ISC replays :S (Yukari has pixels of health left if you look closely)
Admittedly, it does require using Seija's basic shot in quite a specific way. You pretty much have to hit with 3 streams almost all the time. The attack ends just as the 2nd phase bullets finish spawning, assuming you go off centre for the 4th phase and stay near the centre on the other phases. You also have to shotgun a little bit on both 1st phases. Do all that (not difficult in reality) and you end with a bit of time to spare. It also helps if you shotgun the start of the 2nd phase since it's usually possible to charge forward during the 1st phase (as the bullets are passing you).
In all honesty, in the ~85 clears it took me to no-item, I didn't deal enough damage to end that 2nd phase once or twice. Neither of those would've no-item'd though. I would've ended the attack before then if I had used Cursed Doll (probably) but since it still usually ends during that 2nd phase, I didn't see much point to using Cursed Doll.

Sounds like a hassle that's not worth forgoing Cursed Doll for. Especially since I still see no apparent reason to use Ying Yang Orb. I mean, how would a slightly smaller hitbox image help? Most decently experienced people will know where their hitbox is anyway.
It sounds like you cleared with no sub helping you and so say there's "not much point to using Cursed Doll" when you would've had an easier time with it.

It's not as much as a hassle as it sounds, since there's a lot of times when you're just sat there waiting for the pattern to form. I just gave Cursed Doll a try on 10-5 and I fail to see how it's actually useful. Sure, you get a little bit of extra damage from the backwards shotgun at the start, but it doesn't reach Yukari on the 4th phase and you're in the centre anyway for the other phases. Looking at Jaimers' (http://youtu.be/VInpkQz5Z90?t=40m56s) (oh crap where does the apostrophe go :<) attempt at it, I actually finish slightly earlier without the item. Am I just missing something? Since it looks like you only get extra damage from the backwards shotgun and a bit more flexibility on the 2nd phase (by this I mean you can go further off centre without losing as much damage). Now that you point it out, I kind of feel like it hardly matters what you use, since either way it has a marginal effect...Please show me the error of my ways I guess :V (ie point out my supreme idiocy)

Alright, IIRC, The cursed doll shot only allows you to get 2 shots to the boss if you are in the very center or in an awkward position, while if you had the normal shot, you would get 3 in instead of just 2...
Also, you finished the attack slightly sooner than me Even though I was using the Doll Shot Just look at this:
(http://s4.postimg.org/blpiygu3h/th143_002.png)
I have no idea how but apparently in this case normal shot wins!...Strange.
Also LOL 85 attempts. I had nearly 1K on this one (The third scene with the most attempts in the whole game!).
-

Oh, whoops, my bad. I actually have 281 attempts of that attack and I did originally type "~280 attempts" but then I realised that the number of clears was more important since I was comparing it to the number of attempts that didn't deal enough damage to end before the 2nd 2nd phase (since most attempts I restarted before getting that far). In reality, it was 85 clears not attempts :ohdear:. Fixed previous post too.

I have no idea how this happened but it happened. I should've lost the run at Raiko's timeout but SakuyaA's bomb is... really good. I value it a lot more now.
(Granted this run really WAS with sakuyaA but come on, first extra clear! wooo)

Mystic Square Mima Lunatic 1cc (http://youtu.be/71MgtlD6EDw)
Got around to clearing MS on lunatic on a random urge to play it. Sort of ended up figuring out how to score a bit. I'm thinking I've been playing MS lunatic for about 1.5 weeks, but that could actually be how long I have been playing MS recently (focused on normal and worked on extra for a bit). Might have been roughly a week of learning lunatic, I think. I know I was switching between Reimu and Mima when deciding who would be a better pick for dealing with the mess in stage 4 and 5. Decided Mima's speed was more beneficial than Reimu's homing.
I'll post this in the high score thread in the morning along with some other scores I have gotten.
-
If you didn't know, MS is an extremely surival-oriented scoring system. Boss cancels and grazing still help, but survival and item collection make up the majority of the points-- a single death can make it nearly impossible to max the dream bonus again, especially somewhere like stage 5.

Hoooooooooly shit I just got a PT Standard Unseen clear! I'm so frickin excited to have this off my chest! But now it's time for Advanced mode... :ohdear:
-
Hoooooooooly shit I just got a PT Standard Unseen clear! I'm so frickin excited to have this off my chest! But now it's time for Advanced mode... :ohdear:
For a first clear, that was great. You were able to stay afloat really well in Unseens 1 and 3. I think you tried to focus a little too much on grazing in the early stage routes, but you were able to do really well with it in Unseen 3, so etc.
It looks like you don't have Unseen 2 or Unseen 3 unlocked for practice. If you like, I can help with that.
Zone Advanced has a lot of attacks that will nail you the first time simply because you don't see them coming. You may want to watch a video (or don't, if you enjoy that sort of thing). It is overall more difficult, though, so be prepared for that.
Also, are you a Vengeful Mad Scientist, a Maniacal Death Ray Wielder, or an Evolved Madman?

I've actually played Advanced a few times, so I know a lot of the bs attacks, but I'm just not looking forward to having to grind out the unseen stages more than anything. As for your question, I have no idea what you mean.

Unseen 2 is actually pretty easy once you're comfortable with the hyper system and know what to expect. The other two, yeah, fun times. Area 5 is pretty obnoxious as well, if you want to go that route.
The question was based on your screen name; those are three of the five subtitles for Baron Blade's villain cards.

I've been trying to time out 11-4 no photo on and off for a while now, my best is about 50 seconds left
And yesterday I did it! (http://score.royalflare.net/th125/replay125/th125_ud1723.rpy) No photo, no double focus! I was experimenting with many different strategies, mostly involving dodging approach, but also with switching to numpad for input, for the perfect diagonals (which did work, but it felt awkward, and a little cheaty, so I stopped). And now, after 200 seconds and 39(?) pixel approximate dodges, I claim victory!

SA Lunatic 1cc (Reimu C) (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=35497)
After getting distracted by other things in life for some weeks, I finally got back to working on this a couple days ago and eventually got this run. Stage 2 was a train wreck, with not one but two easily preventable deaths, as well as my complete failure to remember how to move at the start of Grandpa Hanasaka. I would have restarted if not for the fact that I was already thoroughly sick of Stage 1. In the end, though, Stages 4 and 6 went surprisingly well (including a 0 power capture of Terrifying Hypnotism) and I finished with a stock of 2 extra lives. The only thing I'm really disappointed about is that I failed Subterranean Sun by ramming straight into a red bullet just a few seconds before it ended, but I'm pretty happy with how the second half went overall and I'm just glad to have 1cc'ed another game on Lunatic (only my second so far--the other was PCB).
Also, thank you to everyone who gave me advice on how to handle Orin's Stage 6 midboss spell earlier. :)

From PCB Lunatic to SA Lunatic?...
How do you exactly reached to the conclusion you wanted to do these in no order? O_o
Its cool. But I am just wondering why would someone do these in apparently no order...
Next thing I know, someone somewhere decides to go clear UFO 1cc Lunatic (Hardest one) right after doing a PCB 1cc Lunatic (Easiest one).
Unless, of course, you just simply liked those game more than the others.
Completly unrelated: Yay I managed to make an entire post with no grammar errors! LOL.
-
I think there was someone once who started playing Touhou and decided to only play UFO Lunatic, nothing else, and eventually succeeded in a 1cc after quite a long time. I forgot who though.
-
Well, it's not like I had many other choices. I only own three of the games at the moment--PCB (my first) and IN and SA (which I got together). Between IN and SA, I was more interested in the latter, so that's the one I chose to work on. In the end, I feel that while SA does punish you more for not knowing what's coming, once you've memorized everything you need to, the execution of the route isn't really more difficult. If you manage your resources well, you'll do just fine.
On that note, I remember that someone once posted a replay here that involved intentionally bombing and/or dying to almost every attack in the game and still getting the Lunatic 1cc. Bombing like a madman is indeed a viable option with Reimu C and Reimu A.
Completly unrelated: Yay I managed to make an entire post with no grammar errors! LOL.
Er, I'm not sure why you're bringing that up, but were you referring to that post? Because I couldn't help noticing quite a few errors...
-
I've heard it's possible with ReimuC's bomb's power.
I wonder how high of an fps the game could be cleared with that strategy...
-
holy shit never thought it would be ufo I would 1cc next!
backstory:this game made me rage more than ever.

PT Advanced clear! This was just out of nowhere and I'm happy to be done with this route! But now I have to practice Advanced unseen 1. :qq:

So I just perfected Utsuho in Phantasmagoria Trues. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmeuOhicBJE)
This is probably my first real achievement since getting back into playing these games a couple weeks back, and WOW I forgot how amazing it feels when you pull something like this off.

PoDD Lunatic 1cc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DX3iER8NV7A).
I think a lot of this was luck with Reimu's orbs (first-round win on both Mima and Yumemi?), but still, it's PoDD Lunatic.

Random no-focus PCB lunatic (ReimuB) (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=35673)
Pretty rough run filled with mistakes and me breaking borders for survival. Took minimal practice since this was a random attempt just to see if I can pull it off. I played lunatic enough times to get an idea on how I can safely deal with some of the patterns unfocused. Was worried if I did hit shift while doing this, but I don't think I did when I watched the run (can't be too sure...). That being said, I still had a lot of dumb moments in this run (pretty normal for me to have dumb moments). Had no lives left, no bombs left, and I know I died with bombs in stock.
Maybe I will record this later.
-
IN Lunatic no-bombs 1cc! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=35676)
Another challenge down. I caught myself restarting after dying early a couple times, so the next run I just went for it, nonstop. Not pretty, obviously, but that doesn't matter. Glad to finally have this completed.
-
Wow. A couple of weeks ago I played DDC Normal with ReimuB and game over in stage 4. Haven't touched the game since due to being busy. Today I decide to try Sakuya-A instead and made it to Sukuna. :o
Is Sakuya-A OP or something? Because if not I may have my 5th Normal 1cc sooner than I thought.
If she is then unfortunately that means dropping her and lots and lots of deaths because of that. :ohdear:
-
Sakuya A is like the best shotype in the game IMO at least for survivial.
-
DDC SakuyaA's knives can slow most enemies' bullet spawn rate, which can make patterns noticeably easier. The ability to get two screen clears per bomb (or one for 5/8 of a bomb) is also quite useful, even with the bomb dealing no damage.
Then there's the technique involving staying in front of the boss and shift-tapping so the knives explode immediately, stacking their explosions-- the timing is tricky to learn (I recommend practicing on Seija's midboss spell), and it only works well at 4 power, but it can be very overpowered against bosses who stay still at the start of a pattern.
I'd recommend ReimuA if you consider SakuyaA overpowered but prefer to still use a powerful shot (yes DDC's homing shots are strangely the best in the game), anyway. Though SakuyaA's nowhere near as trivializing as MarisaB's resource-farming bomb, at least for Extra and higher difficulties (not sure about Normal).
-
Welp, decided to give Reimu-A a shot, and basically got Reimu-B results. Or I would've had I not ragequit because of stupid bombs-in-stock deaths on the first 3 stages. Constantly. Even then it's a lot harder to get resources.
*sigh*
Sorry to interrupt. Continue on.
-
Try out some new shot types in whichever games you play. Even if they're not your best shot types, you still might find them to be more fun than you expect.
Well, I decided to fool around with other shots in PCB. And I got this...
PCB Lunatic No Bombs 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=35696), and with SakuyaB of all shots!
I was completely blind on Merlin (and it shows), but stage 5 went smoothly. Stage 6 is both the best and worst part of the run: NNN all the way to the last possible moment of Reflowering, so yeah.
SakuyaB was my worst shot bar possibly MarisaB, so I'm still very happy with this all things considered.
-
No Bombs IN Lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=35699)
I am happy, though I really should practice Kaguya more since she caused more than half of my deaths. :V I am also strangely inconsistent at Keine's completely static spellcards for some reason.
Now back to easy/normal scoring, or maybe MoF or something.

Congrats! I can relate to that; Sakuya B is one of my less used shot types in PCB because I'm not used to her aiming, but for some reason, the times I have used her have been surprisingly successful. I feel like PCB has one of the better balanced sets of shot types, which is one of the things I really like about the game.

The past week I have been working on Fairies of Sorcery. The PCB no focus run I did earlier this week was sort of something I did as a small break (keeping in mind I've done a lot of lunatic runs in PCB). :V
Fairies of Sorcery Lunatic MarisaA (http://youtu.be/PSQ3I4y4nqE)
I had to figure out a majority of the things on my own since I didn't see many runs using the strategies I'm using. Not a lot of runs of this danmakufu game around. Ultra will probably be something I will try later (whether I want to clear it or not is another matter).

Yay, Marisa-A 3rd Lunatic 1cc :D
Quite a few stupid deaths, too - Yamame 1st Card (...wow), Stage 3 first half (and I actually do the latter half without dying lolol), Satori 2nd Recollection (seriously? it's the easiest one =.=;; ), Utsuho 2nd non-spell x2 (>A>;; ), etc.
No death Yuuka and Orin, though :DD (...yeah, Needle Mountain = bombspam lololol)
So yeah - been trying Marisa-B for a bit, but now that I know I can actually DO Lunatic quite consistently and that it's just the shot-type (i.e. useless bomb >A>) that's the problem, I think I can move on to other things lolol
-
Woohoo, I finally did a Normal 1cc on DDC and SA; which I managed to do all within one week! :toot:
I'm so surprised that I pulled of a Normal 1cc for DDC and SA in particular, because those two games are probably the hardest (next to UFO) in my opinion.
To be honest, I really over-estimated SA. A somewhat longtime ago I tried to clear the game and failed MISERABLY. Seriously, I never failed at any Touhou game this hard before. After that, I decided to do some practicing on it, and I was still failing. I eventually thought that SA was way too hard, so I decided to leave it alone for awhile. I finally came back to try to Normal 1cc it, and I did incredibly well. I also noticed that Utsuho is very, very easy for a final boss; she was actually very fun, too.
As for DDC, it's pretty much the same exact story as SA. I failed miserably, decided it's way too hard, then left it alone, blah blah blah. Although I can't say that I found Sukuna to be easy, because I would be lying. She's pretty tough, actually (to me, at least). Seija was super easy, though. I can't imagine why on earth I thought she was hard. She's the easiest stage 5 boss ever (on Normal).
So, the only game I have yet to Normal 1cc is UFO... *gulp* :ohdear:
(Oh, I also cleared every scene in ISC, but I'm not that ecstatic about it as I am about Normal 1ccing DDC and SA).
-
Marisa-B... (i.e. useless bomb >A>)
If used point-blank, MarisaB actually has the strongest bomb in the game, and can really put a dent on some patterns, if not completely clear them if you have enough power left.
In order to use her bombs effectively though, you have to plan ahead since they suck for defense. If you think you might bomb a certain attack, it's best you bomb as soon as it starts

In order to use her bombs effectively though, you have to plan ahead since they suck for defense. If you think you might bomb a certain attack, it's best you bomb as soon as it starts
Exactly. It's just horrible for panic-bombing, which is what I use them for mostly, and Alice lasers are best since they're more quantity than quality - just enough time to get myself through that wall :P

Got a SA Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=35746).
This was quite unexpected ; first credit after a few weeks of on and off (mostly off) stage practice. :)

I got an Ultra Lunatic Galaxy in the Pot today! :toot:

White Names Spoiled Past Lunatic Showcase (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zJBWtcDG1Q)
It's actually more interesting when scoreplayed. There's plenty of room for improvement on the scoring side, but it was still fun to try (and, due to the game mechanics, incredibly liberating).

Tried UFO Lunatic with Sanae-B. Stage 3 - What is this EASY MODO??!?!?!!!
No wonder everyone plays her >A>;; why can't my Merisa get more love QQQQ
So yeah - got to Stage 5, and that's with the deaths starting on Stage 1 Nazrin lolol
Lunatic 1cc doesn't seem quite as other-worldly to me now, thanks to a broken char :] :] :] :]
-
Stage 5, Shou, and Byakuren are going to be barriers, but if you think you can 1cc UFO Lunatic, go for it!

Well, I was able to somehow pull off no-death Orins recently with Marisa-A and her generous bombs, so I'm pretty sure Sanae-B's broken bombs will do the trick this time as well :P

Genetics cap get! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=35796) Not just my first cap ever, but also a perfect Koishi fight up to that point.

Not much, but I got around to clearing HRtP on Easy (Makai route) (http://youtu.be/pCraXnOE938)
Been going after this on and off for a few months now. Not my best score, though. Also, ignore what happened before Sariel. Accidentally hit the key that opens up the start menu.

So apparently a Touhou Suguri exists.
So here is a video of it on the highest difficulty! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ynz9CInZvsk)

I was playing a bit of PCB tonight and decided to do a random practice run of Stage 6 because I hadn't played it in a while. My poor memory quickly became evident as I floundered at Yuyuko's opener, but I did at least manage to get my first capture of Sumizome Perfect Blossom on Lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=35856). Sadly, I didn't make it through Resurrection Butterfly (I died and bombed once each), but I'm at least feeling less overwhelmed by it now.
-
Just pulled off a perfect Ichirin Lunatic lolololol
Don't ask me how I did it - I just had no bombs and didn't want to die.
Seriously, as soon as Ichirin blew up, I paused the game, "....did that just happen?" and just laughed XDDDD
Do you get better at UFO? Nah, you just get used to being trolled all the time :V :V
-
I've been reacquainting myself with DDC Extra over the past couple days, and tonight I got a new personal best, a 1M1B run. I accidentally walled myself on Thunder God's Anger, forcing a deathbomb, and I had a silly derp on the third phase of Blue Lady Show. Still seems a little strange that I would be so close to perfecting Extra before I can do the same for anything past Stage 2 in the same game, but that's another testament to just how difficult the main game is.
-
That moment when you try a lunatic run when you haven't touched it in over 6 months... and then realize you somehow got to stage 6B with 6 lives, despite having only cleared that lunatic once. Feels good.
Finished with 3 lives and 3 bombs, of course, cause I screwed up Hourai Jewel terribly, but thats neither here nor there.
-
1CCed PCB Normal with SakuyaA again, now with 288 million. I also reached SA stage 5 with MarisaA.

video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5zaO70UmPA
For some reasons, I asked my friend to upload the video on youtube. I couldn't believe that I have made it.
This video was recorded while streaming on Sina. All the frames irrelevant to PoDD, like skyping with friends, were covered with mosaics due to privacy issues.
God-like luck helped me get this NoMiss, especially in stage 7,8 and 9.
Enjoy.

Holy crap 3rd SFN timeout. This time with Yuyuko Solo.

I've cleared TD Lunatic and DDC Extra recently.
Only 2 games to clear on Lunatic then (DDC and UFO).
I also played a bit of MoF, and managed to perfect stage 3 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSenRXpOBr0) and stage 5 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YawDbUk2xlg).
I'll probably try to get an LNB on this one ; it looks hard but half-doable (stages 4 and 6 are scary though...).
-
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=36048
I broke. I literally broke after this. *insanity laughing fit galore* *flails arms into the air*
Did that just happen "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
12.5, here I come >8DDDDDDD
===================================================
EDIT: Oh, and I tried 9.5 as warm-up, and I got to 8-4 before breaking 100 shots (per scene) - and it was more from fatigue than anything lol
3.5 years ago I broke that on 3-1, so I guess I did come quite a long ways :P
-
Good job!
-
Good job!
Thanks :D :D :D
=======================================================================================
EDIT: Whimsically gave SA a run, and got my 4th Lunatic 1cc within a single try lol (And I died twice on Stage 2 >A>;; )
What has UFO done to me .__________.;;
-
TD Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=36077). This was harder than PCB and IN due to the lower amount of lives you get, but still not too bad. Most of my failed attempts were from ramming into enemies or bosses while trying to get spirits. Now that I'm working on Lunatic clears again, I'd like to go for all GFW routes next.
On the other hand, I'd also like to go for a diamond (currently 843k) in DS 8-1. It's becoming more realistic now that I've gotten better at it.
Edit: ◇847,074! Now to play fairy wars.
On second thought, I seem to have completely lost the ability to play that game. I do plan to clear the remaining main games (DDC and UFO), but it looks like I might end up putting off GFW for quite awhile.

Lotus Land Story ReimuA Lunatic (http://youtu.be/HeKbxTSnYzk)
Was lazy working on this one. With my current strategies, the run sort of relied on not screwing up Marisa since that is where I feel I die more than I should. I think stage 5 could have been better, but this was probably the first run I did after maybe a week since the last time I played LLS. I had a lot of gaps in between sessions while learning this.
First time doing stage 6 on lunatic. At least I didn't get too nervous or else I would have screwed up the run.
-
Super late to the ISC no item party but whatever! Finally got around to doing 10-4 no item (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iagONCX-28Q), and thus I've cleared all the spells in the game without using any items!
-
Finally done with Double Spoiler after ~15 hours of playing :D :D :D
Wasn't as bad as I expected - at least better than Shoot the Bullet lol
That, and Hatate is seriously EASY MODO lololol
=======================================================================
EDIT: Finally got my Reimu-B 1cc for EoSD Lunatic. I did start with 5 lives out of frustration, but I had enough lives at the end to have done it with 3 anyways :P
I think the main cause was capturing 4 of 5 Patchy cards - yup, it was quite amaxing when I got Emerald Megalith :D :D :D and Bury in Lake is actually quite doable if you understand that the small circles are in fact aimed :V (Green Storm didn't cooperate for some reason, though :( - I've done it before)
And thus now I've 1cc'd EoSD Lunatic with all shot types :D :D :D (some are 5 lives, though, I think :/)

Managed to get my first ultra lunatic clear.

Subterranean Animism 2-Miss No Bomb Lunatic 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=36275)
Yeaaah, haven't posted here in a while. Technically, this is an achievement, so I might as well post about it. Er, dumb death on stage 4. Then failed cat walk. Out of hilarity, I actually ended up doing a timeout of Utsuho's first spell because I was unable to damage her :V
-
Well I guess I just have SA and PCB left for easy 1cc's. EOSD easy 1cc achieved on second try(ran into one of cirno's bullets first try so restarted). also I know I have not fully beaten the game. At least it was pretty cool to get the 1cc on second try when I hadn't played this game in months.
Guess all that time spent playing DOJ made much more adaptive to quicker and more random patterns,
-
8 bosses, 3 lives, no weapons. I am now one step closer to a Megamari buster-only clear.
I BEAT THE STUPID BOSS RUSH WITH THE SPECIAL PASSWORD. (and then died to the teapot in about 2 seconds, but still.) GUYS, I DID IT! AND IT ONLY TOOK ME 5 HOURS OF CONTINUESPAM!
-
SA easy 1cc first try after a few months. fuck utsuho(had an abysmal stage 6 but god she takes so long to kill). Guess just PCB left
-
I just perfected Unlimited Shinki in Phantasmagoria Trues.
Recording lag is horrendous so there's no video, but right now there is nothing that could spoil this for me.
-
First Hard 1CC (guess what it is).
-
Cleared PCB hard with all continues (and in my first try that wasn't just clearing the first stage to show my friend that Letty isn't a hard boss :V). Dunno if that's an achievment, but hey, I cleared Repository of Hirokawa! (I never captured it on normal lol)

I think she is a little fast in focus so it might be difficulte to play her. But her level 1 attack have a good range, so you can erase some bullet, it can really save you from serious trouble(oh hi, reimu attack 2 !).
As for me, I have more touble playing characters like Mystia or Aya, or even Sakuya.

Nice to see you finally achieve your goal that you've been on-and-off attempting for... how long now? A year and a half?
It must be a nice feeling to add your own run to your thread, too.
-
Congratulations, Mino! I knew you could do it! :toot:
-
Fucking finally! Congrats Mino-chan! :toot:
-
Thanks everyone! Finally glad to see all that effort paying off. I think I may want to start getting more into scoring. Like PCB Lunatic and DDC Lunatic scoring or something.
Another LNN may be on the agenda... But I'm not sure I want to go through all that again.
But for now, I just want to take it easy. Not go for any goals for a bit. Just relax and see where the future takes me.
And yeah, it felt AMAZING to add my run to the thread. I'm gonna try to update it to its current status, but Japan has been pulling LNN/LNNN runs left and right so it'll be hard to keep track. If anyone has any that I missed let me know in the thread.
-
Good Job Minogame. Congratulations
Though, you probably know, but scoring is just as reset heavy and, assuming your level is high enough, less forgiving than the LNNN grind. Just keep that in mind.

All of the ones you highlighted where the close "almost" runs I had except for the one on the very bottom, which actually was a silly run where I broke borders everywhere and cheesed everything. :V
My first 2MNBNBB was in June 2013, and since then I started going for the LNNN. My first 1-mistake was in September 2013, and then after that I had five more 1MNB runs, 5 runs which got to Yuyuko and failed, and an assortment of 2-miss runs I never uploaded and a bunch of restarts :V
-
Hey, congratulations Mino! I'll watch your replay in the spare time.
I 1cc'd PoFV hard with Medicine. She... Isn't balanced, is she? Komachi and Yuuka just kinda died faster than I did... And on normal either of these two usually kill me. Only Shiki was a challenge and she ate my three lives. I feel kinda bad about this 1cc...
-
@LunaWillow:
Yeah, Medicine's poison cloud EX attacks really screw with the AI, which often results in unusually quick victories, even on Lunatic. (Also, Aya is a good AI breaker as well, due to her speedy EX attacks.)
-
I reached Remi again with no continues. And lost to her 2nd non-spell. I'm feeling that I'm almost there.
I'm so mad. Patchouli's non-spells always get me.

How much/little of a struggle was it to LNN that?

But in all seriousness, you're insanely good. Massive respect. There are way too many ridiculous achievements in this thread though.
How much/little of a struggle was it to LNN that?
Well. I generally have a good handle on DDC, as it's my favorite game. As of recently, it's been my most played game. I've had about 5 2MNB runs prior to getting this. Obviously, I did get this rather fast. I think I had an easier time with this instead of PCB because DDC isn't as long of a game, ReimuA is awesome, and I generally just enjoy playing this game a lot more. At least for survival...
Congrats! (I wish I could do that on normal...)
Which one was easier to LNN? PCB or DDC?
DDC is definitely a more challenging game than PCB in survival terms. But I took way longer to get PCB due to on and off grinding, and because the spam is too hard. (Thank god DDC has nothing like the spam. Kagerou is hard, but she's in stage 3, so it's not as menacing). I've actually had many chances to get PCB LNNN in the past. I've had six 1MNB runs lost to spam, and I've lost 5 LNNN runs to Yuyuko in the past (after capping spam, AND with ReimuB) and all were EXTREMELY dumb deaths. I think that getting the PCB LNNN helped build my confidence and help me realize that these things really aren't as impossible for me to get as I thought.
Fortunately, Sukuna didn't give me any dumb RNG on her first non, and I managed not to fail her final spell like I used to do all the time (I'm looking YOU, 1.13bil run that I did last year).
-
What the HELL, Mino! :getdown:
Congratulations! I remember when you used to wonder if you would ever get an LNN at all, and then you just get two in less than a week's span, that is really impressive.
you owe me a new pair of headphones :V
-
lol, I saw the highlight in my twitch following page. Casual second LNN, no biggie. Very impressive dude :)
-
Congrats Mino on your LNNs, you probably don't know me but I've seen your progress on this forum and your stream and stuff, it's obvious you put tons and tons of effort into those games and it feels vicariously good to see that pay off
-
My first reaction to this was "wait... what?"
Well, congratulations, again.
Now go for 3LNNs in one week!
-
Wow, that's pretty amazing. I wish I could do LNN runs, but, haha, I'm a ways from that level yet. Congratulations, especially doing one during a stream. Is it harder when you have an audience? I always seem to do worse when I try to show my friend when I play, though that could be because it's one person who's close to me, who knows :V. Again, congratulations with the two LNN runs in a week.
On my own personal note, I just cleared SA normal 1cc, meaning now I have beaten every windows era Touhou game 1cc. I guess my next goal will be hard 1cc's? I'd think extra stages might be a bit tough still (Mamizou's stage scared me).
-
That's really impressive Mino, 2 full game LNN(N)'s! so you're the first in the west to manage this for more than one game?

Congrats Mino! Amazing that you managed to get 2 LNNs in one week.

Yes, the score is very much improvable, and I will improve it further eventually. But for now, I will do something else. Normal mode has been yearning for months now.

In other news... I got my first 1cc at last! :) (MoF, ReimuB, Normal, 228m). I've been working towards it for a couple of weeks, but always making too many silly mistakes in the early stages -- this was only the third time I'd actually reached Kanako, and the first time I saw her final card. It went right down to the wire. Six lives left by Stage 6, four left when Mountain of Faith appeared, and I was on my last life with no bombs left for about ten seconds before she gave up the fight. That may not sound like a long time, but it is :D

You should definitely attempt to get 4 billion.
The theoretical maximum for Extra should be around 3.15b or so. 4 billion is impossible lol.
EDIT: Unless you mean for normal mode, in which case yeah, 4b was the absolute minimum I wanted to have anyway.

Nothing big, but I accidentally 1CC'd MoF when I was playing it on someone's house who wanted Touhou games. whoops

Just 1CC'd SA easy with ReimuC and TD easy with Youmu, now i 1CC'd SA and TD with all shot types !
I'm trying to 1CC all windows touhous easy mode (except PoFV) with all charaters/shot types at the moment. (progress : SA, TD and DDC done)

So this isn't as big as my last accomplishment, and more of a kinda silly thing, but I finally managed to capture royal flare, which gave me more trouble than most of Flandre's spellcards, after my friend mentioned that we were apparently in competition to see who could capture it first without telling me beforehand. I'd say we both were suprised by how fast that took, haha.

Oh, of course, those two are also nasty. I never learned the pattern. Same with those I said before. I just don't know how to beat them.
-

Funnily enough, I think Woo is laughably easy (As border team, anyway)) and that Fujiyama Volcano is the hardest spellcard in that entire extra, with the non-spell right before it obviously being the actual hardest part of the entire extra.
-

Fujiyama Volcano is mostly static, it becomes almost trivial when you have a route on it. Woo also has a route but the bullets spread randomly so it can shit on you sometimes.
-
I'm just speaking from experience. Fujiyama killed me a few times because I was being dumb, but Woo shat on me more times than I could count and a lot of that wasn't even because I was being bad. It was just shit RNG in the face of Mokou being a dick.
And when I say non spells, I don't just mean the last one. The sixth and seventh non spells are more difficult than all of her spells too. Extremely random and they can screw you over quite badly.
Going by your logic, Hainiryuun, the hardest spell is obviously Honest Man's Death though. Who the HELL can avoid that laser? If you don't put any effort into learning the spells paths and whatnot, HMD becomes impossible. And of course the same can be said for Fujiyama. I'm speaking from a perspective that assumes you have a way of handling every spell card Mokou has. If you don't put any thought into learning Fujiyama Volcano, then that's fine, but it just makes you inefficient, not the spell the hardest she has.

*shrug* I need to find a route that works I guess, then, lol. Once I found out you could just redirect Woo to the top of the screen every time, I found it much easier with not much RNG, meh.

I got slaughtered by Fujiyama Volcano the first time I saw it, but once I figured out a route for it, I became reasonably consistent at it (and actually captured it in my first Extra Clear). Woo, on the other hand, is something I'm never comfortable with; I failed to come up with a route on my own, and even after watching other people do it, I'm still not consistent at it.
Oh, and I also tend to struggle with Ikahasa (Mokou's first spell), but that's mainly because I suck at moving through the lines of green bullets. :derp:

Just 1CC'd UFO normal ! (i love these red UFOs)
-
PCB stage 4 perfect on lunatic. (http://youtu.be/orAkRfYq2d8) Quite a fun stage but it's a shame that I hardly spent any time on it. Would consider a PCB LNN if I found stage 6 fun...but I don't. Time to grind scoring now.

1st try playing Lunatic with Reimu-A (it was some Skype challenge thing with a friend), and managed to 1cc it :getdown: :getdown: :getdown: :getdown: :getdown: :getdown: :getdown:
-
I just did my first Extra Clear (TD) ! :getdown: (http://http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=36545)
-
I finally got my first extra clear too, against Ran using SakuyaB ( I should really do more 1cc's to unlock the others ), though I kinda bomb spammed her last two spellcards, haha! I dunno if I will keep practicing it or try another one, I think I was fairly close to beating Flandre, and I can get through Raiko's stage fairly easily...
-
Decided to do some IN Stage 6A to mix things up a bit (6B is still giving me trouble).
My best run so far (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=36555), only failing Omoikane's Brain (this is gonna give me headaches, I can tell) and Hourai Elixir (at the very end lol; I'm not too worried about this attack). Glad to see my strategy for Earth in a Pot is still legit at least.
EDIT: IN Lunatic Stage 6A perfect run! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=36570)
Hah, take that Eirin! No more of your shenanigans forever!
*cough* Ahem, needed to vent a little. Can I just say I wasn't expecting her third nonspell to be this troublesome? It single-handedly ended most of my runs today. This was actually the first time today that I even got past Apollo 13, despite putting in many more runs than yesterday, though not getting nearly as many stabs at this attack didn't help. However, I knew once I got past Apollo 13 that I just needed to stay collected and I would have her last two attacks in the bag. I'm still super giddy afterward. This is one of the best accomplishments I've gotten in a long while.

Cute run Cactu. Should do it with ReimuA!

Wow! That's pretty badass, then!

IN Lunatic Stage 6B perfect run! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=36580)
Holy crap yeeesss! That's two final bosses in two days. I was surprisingly calm during the entirety of Rising World - any jittery feelings from getting that far didn't even hit me until after the timer had run out. At least now I never have to worry about capturing that card ever again.
-
After a year of grinding and bashing my head up against the wall from last second clip deaths from Hell's Artificial Sun, I've finally 1cc'd SA on normal with ReimuA.
Aaaaaaaaaaaa!
-
1.5b PCB Normal! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=36599) Been going for this milestone for the past few weeks, and it feels good to finally get it.
-
I did it!!!! I really did it!! I beat EoSD when I switched ReimuA to MarisaA. I even i had 1 life in stock. Thanks to LunaWillow and Soda Cream for the tips!!
-
Somehow got a double biggie:
Yesterday: I cleared IN Hard (6B) with 2 lives in stock (using default lives) and I even captured the last of Kaguya's Last Words
Today: I booted up TD, thinking I'll start practicing Hard on this game, and somehow got the clear first try (and even captured "Honor the Avoidance of Defiance")
So within 2 days, I cleared 2 games on Hard. Woo! ^u^

Finally, a legit Marisa Lunatic 1cc - albeit Marisa-C :P
That, and I CAPTURED VIRTUE OF WIND GOD GAIZZZZZZZZ :getdown: :* :toot: :getdown: :* :getdown: :toot: :* :getdown: :toot: :* :toot: :getdown: :* :getdown: :getdown: :getdown: :getdown:
It was first time seeing it on Marisa-C, too :DD
P.S. Case in point - I demonstrate and prove that MoF is all about bombing, not dodging.

You should try scoring. Everyone else who says this, too. They should try scoring.
-
You should try scoring. Everyone else who says this, too. They should try scoring.
My signature. Not interested. Sorry.
Besides, that IS my highest score, apart from ChoMarisa lolol
-
MoF scoring is still very bomb oriented, albeit dodging plays a significant role, of course.
-
You have to use bombs to optimize your score, but you have to plan exactly where and when to use them. You can lose a lot of points by survival bombing, and even more if you lose a life, so you have to do a lot of really difficult dodging to score high.
-
Well of course. Routing is an essential part of score play. You'd have to route your bombs correctly in order to optimize faith gain, while making sure they are timed right to be deathbombs to prevent faith loss. Bombs are also highly used for point item collection as well.
dying is like a sin in MoF. You never want to do it, as it just causes such a big faith loss that you may as well esc + r. survival play is definitely a high point in MoF.
Oh, and let's not even forget about cancel timing.
-
Yeah, that's one of the things I like about MoF's scoring system. The chain mechanic has been tried and tested in other shooting games over the years, so there's a good deal of strategic play to be had during stages, but just like those other shooting games, the bosses tend to emphasize top-notch survival play. A good mix of the two sides, if you ask me.
Going more on-topic, I got a NMNB run past Mokou's eighth nonspell for the first time in a while. Died stupidly to the second phase of Possessed by Phoenix, but I was listening to other music at the time, so I wasn't fully expecting to continuously tap to the right beat. Instead, I've learned the circling method to (hopefully) get a bit more consistency on that attack in the future.
-
Tried MoF for the first time with ReimuA (I just want to beat a game with Reimu ;_;) and reached Kanako O_O I've never thought I would get to her. I thought I'd made to Aya...
-
Routing is an essential part of score play.
Routing
ROUTING
Exactly why I hated UFO so much, exactly why I hate scoring, and probably related to why I hate practicing stages for more than 5 times in a row.
It's just... I don't have the patience for it - I can hardly even play more than a couple runs at a time lol
I don't mind up to just knowing what's coming up next, but sight-reading in general is just soo much more fun - so much more thrilling and cathartic :DDD
(And also probably why I don't like to watch replays of patterns I haven't figured out - don't wanna spoil it lol)
-
So uhh... I kinda got this first try today :V
NMNB IN stage 4B (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=36676)
And in stages 3 and 5 as well, but I failed the last spells there so meh
-
Don't have much to do these days, so I've started rehabilitating my ability to play Touhou :3 Unfortunately, I was quickly reminded why I stopped; I -have- to play fullscreen or I can't focus on the bullets properly, and fullscreen 640x480 looks awful (aka, pretty blurry) on an LCD (at least on my widescreen one?). Even DDC doesn't help because my monitor maxes at 900 vertical pixels, so I get the popular display error if I try to fullscreen 1280x960.
Buuut soldiering through anyway. 1cc'd DDC Normal with the last three shots I hadn't done before, IN Hard with Scarlet Team, and DDC Hard with both Reimu shots. (Over the past several days, that is.) Man, needle Reimu is so meh in DDC; the homing unfocus and small hitbox make it alright though, at least. Anyway, then a victory fanfare of MarisaB DDC Extra which was just as shamefully cheesy as expected. B) Who cares if you just died 3 times in a row and bombspammed the entire stage when you can farm multiple lives off each noncard attack?
IN hard really reminded me though, just how much harder ZUN's later games are. :T IN isn't even short on resources, but the bullets are vastly sparser than in DDC and MoF, and I always considered only SA/UFO to be the evil ones. Well, comparatively. Apart from TD, the later games all give you a boatload of resources... (It's kinda hard to abuse bombs in SA though since they're weaker and being low power can be a death sentence.)
I still don't think I can focus on the bullets as well as I used to though, and I blame my monitor. :T I die to things I really shouldn't, with a higher frequency than should happen. It's been going down a lot though. Maybe I can return to Lunatic soon, but, uh, these later games are scary... ;_; Maybe I'll play PC-98 and EoSD/PCB next...
(I've considered picking up a CRT but switching out for games would be a massive pain and I'm super broke right now anyway. Someday.)
-
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=36714
Finally done MoF 1cc on ALL difficulties on ALL shot-types :getdown: :* :toot: :toot:
And for the spell card captures... well, I've already done Kanako Final on Lunatic, so I might as well do it sometime? It's so annoying though lol ._.;;
-
I decided to try EoSD hard. Because why not?? Reached Sakuya without continues and stopped there. I feel so happy!! :derp:
Also, is it bad I think that hard Cirno and Meiling are easier than in Normal..?
-
TD LNB! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=36734)
This is the survival goal I've been working on during my break from PCB scoring. After a bunch of early stage restarts, a few stage 5 game overs, and an attempt that ended at Miko's penultimate, I got this run. Got my first NNN Futo fight too. Shame about that performance towards the end of Miko though. Really close call on her final.
Perhaps I'll try and do this without trance at some point. I'd need to improve my consistency to clear with so few lives though. While I don't hate TD, there's other games I'd rather play to be honest.
-
Got around to clearing IN Lunatic going through stage 6a. Never got around to doing this since I usually try to go after Kaguya. Kind of a rough run mostly because I was trying to remember how I did stuff from the last time I played IN. Maybe later when I'm up to doing more 6a runs I'll try to improve this.

I cleared all ISC scenes :getdown: !
-
I finally did a full scorerun of IN lunatic with Netherworld Team, it wasn't great. Most things that could've gone wrong did but the final score was 4.25 billion, which I'm actually pretty happy with. I at least wanted to beat my LNN score (3.7 billion) and would've been happy with anything over 4 billion. Oh well, I'm gonna keep practicing because my first long term goal is 6 billion, after that I'll either switch to Youmu solo or keep going with Netherworld Team. Replay here. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=36781)
NOTE: Edited out the "I'm so bad hurr durr". Original post here. (http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=15czuc1&s=8#.VSPKAfnF8jA)
-
better score than LNN, plz don't watch it's so bad
:colbert: :colbert: :colbert: :colbert: :colbert:
-
:colbert: :colbert: :colbert: :colbert: :colbert:
:< It's the first time I get to make mistakes and not have to care very much alright. Going from LNN to 7 misses and about 20 bombs feels weird, especially the bomb part because not using bombs for like a year does mean they normally get wasted.
-
It is completely natural to feel that your run is bad, if you failed a lot of things. And having the sort of reaction Pakken had makes no sense to me.
Back then, the goal of the LNN was surviving. Good survival is important for IN scoring, too, so many many points came from that (I don't know how much attention was paid to PoCing items, I never watched the LNN). So there was very little emphasis on maximizing score. This is different now, though! The goal is mainly not to just survive, but to do so while maximizing the PiV and score as much as possible. If you do not manage as well as you would like to and have practiced, then it is nothing out of the ordinary to say it "bad" (of course that differs from your point of view. To some people 4.25b might be an amazing score). And personally, I absolutely understand not wanting people to see my bad replays. That is, in my eyes, normal too.
The difference in what was attempted to achieve is very important in this context, And Pakken evidently was not able to take that very important point into consideration.
By the way, 20 bombs isn't that much for Ghost team, is it? You do bomb Mystia's last non spell, Keine's third spell and Reisen's last spell a lot in the first place on that shot, do you not? Or maybe you don't bomb them all yet?
-

I ended up deathbombing on Venomous Moth's Dark Dance so only had 2 bombs for Mystia's last non (supposed to have 4) and I completely messed up on Keine's 3rd, so I only got 2 bombs there as well (again supposed to be 4). Got 5 of the 6 bombs on Reisen's last spell though because I died to Tewi's first. So maybe you're right. And to be honest, I've sort of rushed through to get a full run, most of these stages I learned months ago and just spent a few days making sure I at least knew what to do (not really considering consistency at the time). I guess failing tons of stuff is a given since I did try and learn every scoring strategy though the harder ones were either adapted to make them more manageable or ignored because I find I'm too inconsistent at them.
EDIT: 2nd run and got 4.67 billion. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=36801) Pretty much an improvement everywhere except stage 5 which was shoddy. 3 deaths to Tewi (including 1 on her 2nd which is a safespot ;-;) then deathbomb on Mind Stopper puts me on 3 bombs for Reisen's final, which I bomb too early and have to deathbomb that as well. The middle of stage 4B was also a bit messy (starting a few waves of enemies before Marisa shows up) so lost another 2 lives there. Good Kaguya fight though, only had to bomb Buddhist Diamond and I somehow flopped on her 3rd last spell (first time I failed that as Netherworld Team, rip perfect history).
-
Oh, it seems like I forgot to add "right, it's sooo bad indeed </sarcasm> #superplayer"
Really, I thought at least Jovial would get the joke >A>

I took it to seriously and the joke went over my head :L (also, since I just remembered a post a while ago about someone complaining about good players calling themselves bad, I changed the 4.25b post a little bit)
Anyway did another run, got 4.9 billion. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=36806) Stages 2, 3 and 5 went really well. Stage 1 I deathbombed on Wriggle's final but kept going anyway (cost me 2 bombs on Mystia's last non). Stage 3 had some bad cancelling at the start and a death in the middle. 4B was alright but I deathbombed on Double Spark and failed Final Master Spark. 5 was really good, only got 5/6 bombs on Reisen's final because I entered the stage with 3 bombs. Stage 6B was messy in the middle: deathbombed Buddhist Diamond just before a capture, died to 3rd non, the subsequent loss of power makes Salamander Shield a bit awkward so I died to that. Oh the plus side, all 5 last spells captured :D Solid survival overall though, only 2 deaths.
I'll stop spamming this thread eventually.
-
I cleared SA Normal with Reimu B ! (after a run with MarisaB when I died at Okuu's last spell lol)
And I got to Koishi's third spell card at my first try (But I got problems with her first spell :/)
-
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=36811
I actually started going for Lunatic 1cc on this shot-type, and I FINALLY did it :DDDDD
Wasn't really expecting it (haven't played SA in a while, first try of the day, etc.), but I did feel pretty confident - or should I say comfortable - while playing, since I had already played the game so many times lol (four 1cc's on Marisa-A and one on Reimu-A is a lot, I think)
Was a nice game to end the day and send me to the showers lolol #BedTimeTouhou
==========================================================================
@Jovial: I wasn't trying to criticize or anything, just found it funny and wanted to make a joke :3 *shrug*
And this also happens to be my highest SA score lolol - yeah, totally not interested in scoring >A>

(http://i.imgur.com/bEAodCb.png)
I DID IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT
...though I need to admit that I had some small slowdown issues near the end of Yumemi fight. I was invisible anyways, so I guess it doesn't count... Right?
-
I completed Touhou 11 on normal, and I beated Suwako in Touhou 10. :V
-
Decided to play IN after a looooong while I haven't played.
Sk&Rm reached Eirin midboss in Stage 6B.
I feel so happy.
MoF and IN are the games I'm concentrated...
EDIT: Went and retried MoF. Kanako owned me with her final spell 5 times!!
-
I've captured all of IN Extra's spellcards, pacifist. By the end, though, I was more happy that I found a route that I could consistently capture Fujiyama Volcano than anything else, lol.
Edit:
And just managed an EoSD Extra Ultra clear - youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9PNIguP5Zg)
Highlights are at 1:52 where Reimu forgets that she has a hitbox and capturing Forbidden Barrage "Catadioptric" (which I rarely even do on normal).

IN Lunatic 1-life clear! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=36859)
I haven't been playing much Touhou at all recently, and IN even less, save for a quick run yesterday that messed up on Mystia's last nonspell. I had meant for this attempt to be a warm-up at the very least, but after seeing how well the first four stages went (my previous best attempt failed at Double Spark), I started focusing a lot more on actually completing the challenge. My bombing reflexes worked against me a couple times though. I had turned the soundtrack off, so I couldn't use musical cues to help me time stuff (specifically on Stage 5; you'll see what I mean). Reisen also didn't go that smoothly, and I had to deathbomb twice, but those were the only really big slip-ups. Still, no deaths is no deaths. I'm still proud of how things went overall.
-
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=36867
1st try of the day, and still 1cc'd with all kinds of stupid deaths >A> (seriously, dying with 4 bombs in stage 6 =0=)

So...
Today I'm starting to work towards an Imperishable Night Lunatic 1cc :3
I did a first attempt today to test the waters, with default resources and border team...
I reached Brilliant Dragon Bullet before game-overing!
It's obvious I still have a ways to go but I'm pretty happy with that result. Will make sure to post new developments here.
EDIT: I captured Magicannon "Final Spark" in stage practice mode!
-
I cleared GFW Extra !! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=36911)
Time to focus more in SA Extra now.
-
I did it.
I did it...
I can't believe it but I ACTUALLY DID IT.... I GOT IT!
I had nothing left for Eirin's last nonspell, Apollo 13 and Astronomical Entombing, but I did it....
Imperishable Night, lunatic 1cc, default lives! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=36925)
:getdown: :getdown:
:dragonforce:
Admittedly, there are several points I'm unhappy about (failing Shoot the Moon being the worst, heard a good way is to be near the middle so you can see the lasers better) but I'm still very happy with this. Especially the Marisa fight, which went very well otherwise.
Capturing Apollo 13 on lunatic should count towards getting Eirin's last word :V

UFO Lunatic 1cc! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=36934) Just barely managed it too, ending with 0/0. That was pretty tough for a vanilla clear. With this, I've now cleared every single Windows game on the hardest difficulty.
-
Congrats Andrew :) And now I just got my first UFO Lunatic 1cc as well! It won't let me post an attachment though, so I'll just edit this when I have enough posts (I assume that's why it won't let me).
This was my fourth run that got to LFS. I really like this game and I'll keep practicing it :) It'd be fun to 1cc with other shottypes in the future too.
Edit: Nevermind about attachments, uploaded it to gensokyo.org: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=36954

I finally pulled off the MoF Hard 1cc I've been trying for a week or so - and boy was it good. I didnt die in Aya's fight once, ended Stage 6 with 3 extra lives in tow (reached Kanako with 5 stars), and the most awesome part: captured Divine Virtue of Wind God. That just felt amazing.
-
nice job Andrew! Don't think i'll ever even achieve a normal 1cc of UFO because I can't stand the game hehe. Now you should try it on lunatic ultra !
-
I just did my first IN Extra clear! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=36953) :D That was a pretty good run, I finaly captured Honest Man's Death! I death/bomb spammed Fujiyama Volcano though and that left me with one life for Hourai Doll, but I did it :)
EDIT: I did another run to unlock Imperishable Shooting, and I succeded! Exactly 7 spell cards captured. Fujiyama Volcano was - again - point of heavily loosing lives and bombs and it left me with zero of each... But I captured both Possesed by a Pheonix and Hourai Doll! :D I messed up Imperishable Shooting, but I have it unlocked and I can practice it now :)
-
Extremely minor but just managed to Capture Mountain of Faith Lunatic ^^
That plus the fact I can do all Stage 6 in an average of 1 live, and all the time spent practicing the other 5 stages probably means its time to 1cc Lunatic this for real! (Probably could have done so WEEKS earlier, but I find I enjoy the games more if I grind on them A LOT. It also makes the 1cc Lunatics not so bad difficulty wise!)

Great work! VoWG is by no means an easy attack.
Anyway.... PCB lunatic 1cc attempt, got to stage 6 spam before continuing. I have a long way to go and yay dumb deaths (especially Yuyuko's two easiest attacks =_=) but I'm happy about that.
Also, I realised only recently you can use ReimuB's focused bomb at point blank for a suprisingly high amount of damage :V
That being said. I am thuroughly terrible at PCB's early game. That's a hard thing to get over.
-
After playing on/off for months while lazily trying to 1cc PCB on Hard with Reimu A I finally did it today. :3 I had such an hard time with this one since Youmu is one of the hardest boss in the entire series for me and for some reasons I kept playing badly again and again and again. Then after finally completing the game (with an hilariously bad run heh) I tried it again with Marisa A since I'd like to get an 1cc with every shot type and I realized something...
I FUCKIN HATE REIMU IN THIS GAME
She's so goddamn slow and her damage output is pathetic even with the B variant (I guess she's a powerhouse when shotgunning? But who has the skills to do that (not me)) and she spends so long for every spellcard and it was driving me insane, playing (and 1ccing at my second try!) with Marisa made me remember how much I love this game~ I still have to learn how to deal with half of Youmu's spellcards tho.
(oh for shit and giggles I tried the Extra stage with Reimu B and completed it after ~6 months since the last time I played it, good times)

Also, I never realised until now just how vulnerable all but one of Youmu's spellcards are to being shotgunned by Duplex Barrier!

Reimu B IS the definition of Shotgunning, IMO.
Both because of Duplex Barrier, but also because if your at a certain distance with her unfocused shoot and manage to hit with all the needles, you do the max damage you are capable of doing in the entire game, surpassing even that of Marisas firepower (Or so I have heard)... Anyway yeah its stupidly strong. That + her decent cherry rate is why I believe she is the best shottype overall.

Well, yes. But Youmu is particularly vulnerable - EVERY spellcard can be shotgun bombed easily. :P
Ten King's Retribution? She stays low on the screen anyway.
Hell God Sword? same thing. Focused damage + shotgun duplex barrier at point blank will kill her with practically no threat to you.
Obsession with the present world - everthing's fired from the sides, not from her. Point blank until she does the bullet gathering move then duplex barrier when anything gets close. If you're near a border shoot unfocused (or can do the all needles hitting) until you get a border.
Eternal Truth - just be somewhat careful about it so you don't get rammed by one of her aimed shots up close :V
Components of Kompaku: You need to be quick about it, but if you exit a wave early you can rush up to her and bomb her face. Not sure if it's viable for the first wave or not (AKA does she have super armor), I will test - it usually takes me ages to down this spellcard. :V
I've thought about a few other cards I might do it to. Notably "Law of Morality -Demon World-" which I am horrendously bad at, and Butterfly Delusion. Both normally take a while to down.
EDIT: Captured Kimontonkou. :V

Okay. Just beat my first fangame!! Mystical Power Plant on Easy. (I don't care the ''easy'' thing, I beat a hard fangame that It's Easy level looks like common Normal official games!!)

PoDD Lunatic 1cc ! (http://hpics.li/5ffc7da)
I've been battling with this game for nearly a year (on and off, naturally), so I'm glad I finally got it. :)
Lost one life to stage 7 Reimu, no-miss against Chiyuri (!) and lost three lives to Yumemi.

Stupid death at Kyouko was made up through no-death Seiga and Futo.
In total, took me about 20~30 tries, including all minor restarts.
...yeah, came a loooooong way since my last new Touhou game - SA took ~70, UFO way more than that, and those I've been playing since 2012.
-
I know this is really not much, but it is still the first 1cc I've ever made.

More scoring improvements :V
Got a run that scored 5 billion. (https://youtu.be/33Xv4fWExNo) Managing that in 15 full runs is weird, I don't even know how that run got 5 billion since there were misses/deathbombs on pretty much every stage. Guess I just made up for those mistakes by getting more time points from stuff. Replay file here. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=37058)
-
Nice job Jovial!
Maybe your mistakes did count for much? most of them were out of spells
-
I'm still struggling to get my first normal 1cc, but things are looking up. I'm learning how to improve my decision-making so that I don't just mindlessly go in one direction and hope to not get hit, because that usually ends badly.

EDIT: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=37081
Got it :DDD
-
I did it -- I got my second 1cc of a Touhou game, namely PCB :) It was a no-focus run, as well.
It was quite a run, too. I was having one of those days when it took for ever to get off Stage 1, so I was getting pretty furious with myself, which of course only made me play worse -- but I couldn't just leave it, I had to have one run that at least reached the later stages so I wouldn't walk away feeling too awful. After a while, the anger gave way to resignation, and when I finally did get off Stage 1, I died twice to Chen and just sighed and kept playing. Another stupid death in Stage 3. At my current skill level I would expect to clear 1-3 with no deaths at least one attempt per session, so I had no hope at that point. Two deaths in Stage 4.
Then suddenly, out of nowhere, I started playing good. No mistakes throughout the boss fight (of course I bombed Prism Concerto). Captured both of Youmu's openers. Even so, reaching Stage 6 with four lives, I wasn't expecting that to be enough. And then somehow, it all came together, and suddenly I'm looking up and I'm on Sumizome Whatsit and still have four lives left -- and I realised I was going to make it. No need to feel stressed at all; I could just coast through Resurrection Butterfly, which is how it should be. The awesome feeling of flying after all the enormous struggle it took to get off the ground.
Rubbish score, of course (480m), but there's always a next time ;)
-
Today, I tried Hard MoF. I did quite good and reached Sanae, lost my final life against her... I'm quite happy!!
-
Yesterday, I 1cc'd RSS with Mop-of-Death Reimu on my first try. I also died halfway into the Extra boss's final card with Mop Reimu.
Seriously, 3 health bars???
-
LoLK Perfect stage 1. Possibly the best stage 1 in any touhou game.
Note: Sorry for the high slowdown rate (3.8%). The games FPS drop down to abysmal level whenever the bullets clear the screen. Otherwise, it plays at 60 fps.
-
Broke 300m on Normal legacy mode in LoLK!
(http://puu.sh/hIjE8.bmp)
-
I couldn't decide were to exactly put this, since it could also be considered as a rage moment (Trust me I was certainly raging a bit towards the end...).
So, having already beaten the game 2-3 times on Normal, I decided to go straight into Lunatic (And Blind at that difficulty!), with the infinite lives mode! I mean, it does not matter how hard it is....
I mean, I DO have infinite lives, and its only 3 stages, I should be fine, right...?
(http://s17.postimg.org/oj4vd4vm7/th15_002.png)
:]LOL :]
Sanae, are you okay?...
This was literally training from hell for me. I am absolutely no match at all for this game...
A run of about 1 hour, with almost 500 deaths....
I basically treated this as if it was the ISC No Item run that I did before... it might as well be that :ohdear:
But oh well, it was fun to do this, and I GUESS its some sort of accomplishment on its own... maybe...

LoLK Legacy Mode Normal Clear

ZUN is a sadist. Hardest touhou game ever imo

Well, just like IlikeBulletZ did, I guess I'll put this here:
(https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=17115.0;attach=39407)
So I decided to try Pointdevice on Lunatic immediately after trying out all of the characters on Legacy Easy, and... Yeah. 505 retries with Reisen there, and I think this took me a couple of hours. So many things drove me batty until I figured them out, or somehow fluked through them, or decided to spend one of my very few bombs on them. I think most of Doremy Sweet's spell cards were easier than her non-spells, since they took me far fewer tries to get through for the most part. However, for her final spell, I was kind of exhausted, and I had recently earned a bomb that I hadn't used yet, so after a few attempts, I decided to just use that bomb to help me finish the game (I think that was the only spell card I didn't end up capturing).
-
Guess I'll post my pointdevice Lunatic clear as well:
(http://i.imgur.com/fHFJxif.png)
After seeing how much trouble I had with stage 3's last spell even on normal, I made sure to save some of my bombs for that boss. That made things a little bit easier at least.

This is better.

Here's the fruits of the last three days of playing the newest Touhou demo:
First, a legacy mode lunatic 1cc. This took the better part of an entire day to pull off after getting a hang of the game in pointdevice mode:

And second, a screenshot showing I managed a no-bombs clear in pointdevice mode (spoil tagged because I'm not sure what the current status is on showing images from the game):

Same! The demo is amazing, I love the bosses and they're fun. Though I'm more focused on other things, such as...
PCB Lunatic 1cc! :toot: :dragonforce: :getdown:
It was a ridiculous run, too. Captured Large Pentagram Crest (fairly rare even if it's her easiest spell), AND her Midboss spellcard, Phoenix Spread Wings, the one I find her hardest.
Had the easiest capture of Lingering Cold ever. Literally didn't have to deal with any of the dark-blue bullets, only the light blue aimed shots.
Bad stage 3, but meh :V
I clipped on Maiden's Bunraku =_=
Clip to Lily in stage 3 and bad Prismrivers run
Great run of stage 5 and I captured Components of Kompaku at the end of it in a hilariously pannicky fashion.
Oh, and I had a luckshit dodge at Youmu's first boss nonspell.
Nearly captured the spam but border broke at the last second :V
Great Yuyu fight but then 3 bomb clip on false final, leading me onto Resurrection Butterfly with 1 extra life and 2 bombs.
Thanks to my border/duplex barrier stalling strategy, I finished with no extra lives and no bombs. :V
The replay is here. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=37163)
:getdown: :getdown: :getdown:

Giving Lunatic Pointdevice mode another go (I hope this mechanic is here to stay, because I am absolutely ADDICTED to this new mode!), managed to get to stage 3 without using a single bomb, and I actually died far less than on my first run somehow even then (which did use like 4 bombs to even get to stage 3)!.
Right now I am stuck at that laser spam + aimed bullets part. Despiste the difficulty of this section, For some odd reason I really LOVE this part so much- I think I like dodging really fast lasers for some reason, I havent seen anything that has been this chaotic in the series anywhere else!
ZUN please dont nerf this part in the final version, its so FUN!
(Nerf the 2nd boss final spell which is seriously bordering on BS/cheap instead! Just a tiny bit, but seriously, that spell needs a nerf!)
Edit: Holy **** ******
I just passed the laser + aimed section!
It was something of a fluke, yes, but it definitivly felt less of a fluke than on my first run, were all planets aligned and I managed to pass it just by complete and utter luck. This one was more like 60% luck, rather than 95%...if that makes any sense...
-
Managed a no-bomb point device clear, and wow is Reimu so much better now (I still think Sanae is the best, but at least Reimu's not crap like in DDC). 199 retry count, not terrible, but I feel I could get better.
(http://i.imgur.com/zkqtiqJ.png)
looking pretty smug there for someone who just lost
The laser + aimed fairies in stage 3 are SO MUCH easier with Reimu (7 retries with Reimu vs. 100+ with Sanae), but the safespot on the second laser fairies is not possible with her. Doremy's midboss spell I just don't understand, so I had to time it out in the corner. and her second boss spell (the whirly one) apparently has a safespot, I'll look into that later. I did look into it, and there IS a safespot for the whole wave and it's always in the same place, but since the pattern spawns on a random position (and orientation?) it's very difficult, if not impossible, to get into consistently
-
Third devicepoint run (Yep, addicted).
Well, other than the usual progress in getting better at the whole "Not dying like a retard every 5 seconds" thing, noteworthy is how I managed to pass the laser + Aimed bullets section... In like 5 tries...
It barely even felt like a fluke. I think I may have just gotten how to get past this part semi-consistently, although its nothing I would risk attempting to no bomb in a real run just yet, its something!
-
No bomb Lunatic clear on Point device mode with 26 retries. I pretty much got all the spellcards down and can captured them consistently except the final spell at stage 2. I still having a hard time reading those bullets ;_; Doremy's spellcards are all static and their pretty easy once you know how to do them. Except, of course, her bouncing lasers spell which can be tricky. Her non-spells are hard tho, especially the boss first non-spell. 10 retries or below with no bomb is a good target.
-
It sure has been a while since I posted here, but I've done a thing. I caught Ultra Blind Nightbird, though I accidentally didn't save a replay the first time. Here's the second capture.

Congrats on the clear. Yeah, Reimu's power definitely seems like it's back to more "normal" levels in this game, which is fine by me. I'm assuming the "laser + aimed" fairies section you're referring to is the one before midboss-Doremy, right? I'm curious how you manage to do it without bombing, the fairies zigzag so many times and I always end up cornering myself lol. I always found the second section of laser fairies to be much easier. Interesting that there is a safespot for Doremy's second boss spell, though I would argue it's not really needed.

Yes, I was referring to that section, I honestly don't know how to do it other than sight-dodging, I guess Reimu's homing is just really good there. Funnily enough, you can even pacify the second set of lasers, since the fairies lump together going towards you, leaving you enough room to stream slowly. I don't think the safespot would even be that useful, as you don't seem to get as much graze, I just found it by accident on Legacy where I got hit and then trying to just finish the attack off I found everything was missing me
-
Decided to go for a no-bombs clear in Pointdevice Mode myself and pulled it off a bit more quickly than I expected (picture attached). I ended up taking my strategy for Stage 3's second laser fairy section and modifying it for the first, though I'm already starting to forget what some parts of it looked like lol. First impressions, I actually think Reimu's homing amulets need to be more judiciously used in that section - if you keep letting the amulets kill the purple fairies close to the bottom, you're gonna wall yourself at some point. I just need to grind that section in Practice Mode down the line to get the timing of my movements down.
-
There. Managed a NMNB LoLK stage 1 Lunatic.
A bit about Seiran:
On her boss first non I try to go into the ball lanes as far away from Seiran as possible. Because she can fire the jellybean columns and they can actually hit you while you're in a lane, preventing escape. With Sanae's snakes you can pretty much reasonably kill it without worry if you just play it really safe. Not good for score though.
I still don't know how to consistently do the first spell. I know there's a strat that involves going to the side waves, but it still feels rather iffy for me. Will need to explore this in PointDevice mode a bit more.
On her second non you can just cheese it by staying on her healthbar and tapping.
You can also spin around her on her last spell and get lots of graze, but I prefer to dodge it at the bottom. I always seem to get rammed for not going fast enough around her or bumping into her. It seems static and it's not really hard either way.
-
Nice job, you even got max bombs.

You can get a bit farther from her (almost at the health bar) after the purple waves so she doesn't ram you, she won't fire again until she stops, so you can use that time to reposition yourself
E: got a NMNB LoLK stage 2 on Lunatic
Really unsafe way of doing Ringo's stuff (basically everything unfocused), but eh it worked

Yay, 10/10 most original joke ever.

In all seriousness, great work!
(Also, thanks. Good thing to look to if you're having trouble with Doremi's spellcards.)
Also, I captured Aya's first spellcard on hard during... maybe full run, maybe practice? I don't know, but still :V
Her fight on lunatic is so difficult, though. But fun and pretty much entirely fair... except the nonspells.

Copy paste from the IN score thread :derp:
Lunatic - Nether Team
Mr Jovial - 5,178,812,440 - Cb - 0.000% - Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=37196)
Significant improvement. Mistakes on lots of scorey stuff. Deathbombed Wriggle's final because I got trapped by a blue ball. Lost 2000 time on Stage 1. Lack of bombs on stage 2 for Mystia's last spell and not cancelling properly oon the last enemies of the stage cost me more time points. Start of stage 3 was badly done, lost about 2000 time again. Deathbombed on stage 4 with lots of point items on screen. Died to spammy enemies near start of stage 5 (with 5 bombs on me ;-;) and deathbombed Tewi's 1st so only had 3 bombs for Reisen's final. Only mistake in stage 6 was deathbombing 2nd nonspell. Good run but still plenty of improvement. And I'm clawing my way to .ASP's Border Team score :>
-
Finally captured Resurrection Butterfly Lunatic !
But I guess the most notable achievement I've gotten recently is actually building some decent consistency at PCB. I'll probably still practice stages for a bit until I get something like 2MNB on average in each one, before attempting full LNB runs.
-
So...
I beat Remi on lunatic practice mode, with 3 bombs left!
Even captured her first nonspell!
God, Remi is such a fun fight on lunatic, even if she's balls to the walls hard.
And in my run to unlock stages for practice mode, I ended up getting to Thousand Needle Mountain before hitting the gameover screen!
(And in that run I captured Sakuya's first boss nonspell :V, and Flower Illusionary Dream Vine)
... Oh, and NMNB EoSD easy. Did it on a whim, got it first try. -shrug-
EDIT: Oh, and first try perfect EoSD Stage 4 normal, ReimuA. I quite like this shot-type.
EDIT 2: Perfect Stage 6 EOSD Normal.
Got really unlucky during Red Magic.

I haven't been playing for a while, but when I saw the trial came out I couldn't resist getting back.
LoLK lunatic point device clear after 32534890 tries: http://puu.sh/hYbjv/d1a905a6da.jpg
I think I used something like 5 bombs, one on Doremy's second non because I just couldn't read it. Doremy's midboss spell is also unreasonably hard. I bombed at least once in each of the stage portions. It feels satisfying to finally capture Doremy's spells though.
The next step is obviously 1cc legacy mode.

Perfect PCB Stage 4 Normal. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=37441)
What's the problem with them again? :V

Haha, sorry about that. I've been long overdue.
Thank ya.
PCB Stage 4 is pretty much just streaming. The Prismrivers themselves aren't very dangerous aside from Merlin's opening nonspell with Sakuya.
-
*clap*
The other games will hopefully come quickly, too.
I hope so. I've been practicing TH8, hopefully I'll 1cc it before August.
Then after that I'll try 10, which hopefully I'll 1cc before the end of the year,
and then after that I might start playing the PC98 games, actually.
-
Congratulations! I watched your prior replay in the High Scores section and I realized that I've been scoring all wrong.
Thanks! Your videos got me into this game, and I eagerly look forward to your take on its scoring.
I'll try and put this or a better future run on Youtube eventually; I haven't even had a chance to review the replay yet, much less record it.
-
I keep getting runs of EoSD stage 6 lunatic Practice where I finish with 1 extra life and 3 bombs.
I've done it like 5 times now :V
Why :V
-
http://www.twitch.tv/pakken11/c/6865332
W00t, scrub using Merisa to make resources ex-nihilo lololol :getdown:
-
Today was somewhat productive.
Captured Demon Binding Circle yesterday, Reimu's something something "Fader" today, got more consistent with Event Horizion and Double Spark. They used to be auto-bombs, and now they're something I'd have a decent chance of capturing if I end up reaching them with no bombs :3
I also grinded a few runs to capture Thousand Needle Mountain on lunatic. The attack it-self only took two attempts, very fun but Remi's easiest spellcard by a land-slide, even if I'm quite bad at it.
And, suprise suprise... I finished that practice run with 1 life and 3 bombs, as is normal :V
Speaking of, I also got a run of EoSD stage 6 Lunatic practice that finished with 2 lives and 1 bomb. Minor, but I'm very happy with it.
Now if only I could do that well in a real run :getdown:
(though I wish that more for stage 3 than anything else :P)
EDIT:
I decided to do a random run of PCB stage 5 Lunatic after not doing it in ages.
And it went really well. No deaths, everything went as planned except the bomb to Youmu's Penultimate...
But more importantly, I captured Youmu's last spell again. Much calmer this time.
Don't you just love it when you find a spellcard hard one day and then easy the other? once you understand how to do it...
Hah.
-
MoF lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=37518)
Second lunatic 1cc (not counting getting IN lunatic recently even though I did it a while ago), guess I stopped being bad at this game.
-
Perfect IN stage 4A normal, and more importantly...
No miss IN stage 4B Lunatic :3
Even if it was practice mode. And you get a bunch of extra bombs because of the lives you can get. I'm happy with that :P
Edit:
I captured Young Demon Lord on lunatic.
I mean, wow... I never expected to do that.
That run finished with 2 extra lives and 3 bombs, which is much better than my previous best of 2 lives and 1 bomb.
-
Hooray, made a bit of improvement on my IN PB. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=37551) 5.24 billion makes this about 70m better than my old PB. Kind of a messy run though. Stage 2 was shoddy, normally reach Mystia with about 14k time points but this time I had 11.8k...Careless death on Mystia's penultimate spell meant I had more bombs for Keine's penultimate so recovered some time points there (but I still died at the end of that attack, I think Keine moved too far down). Deathbombed Event Horizon and Starlight Typhoon because I'm dumb, trapped myself about halfway through Reisen's last nonspell, putting me on 4 bombs for her final (ideal is 6 :<). I managed to turn it all into a new PB with a perfect stage 6 though. I think Rising World forgot that it's supposed to be difficult; the last phase was pretty much me staying still waiting to get slapped in the face by something but instead, nothing :P
-
My latest accomplishment is that I did the world's worst Marisa Bugged Normal 1CC in MOF. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=37600)
Hey, atleast I have all stages up for practice, now. Next time, I'll 1cc it with either Marisa A or C. Something tells me I might use C.
-
1cc'd IN on Hard (Border Team, FinalB).
First Touhou game 1cc'd on a difficulty higher than normal.
-
SoEW - 1cc Normal (Reimu A and B).
That's it for now.
-
Yay, default life 1cc: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=37616
I think Reimu-A has the easiest Patchy fight (got 0-0) - it's like Marisa-A minus the impossible Sylphae Horn High Level and Emerald Megalith.
Only Needle Miko left for default life :D
-
I watched your replay. Proper good job, mate!
...You did die a lot with bombs in stock, though.

Very nice job. :)
I've been on the path of all-clearing UFO Hard. I 1cced with SanaeB back in February, and then again with MarisaA in May.
ReimuB: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=37531
SanaeA: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=37541
These two are pretty neat, and I've been improving my ReimuA 1ccs constantly. MarisaB really is rough, however...I think I'd be better off practicing UFO Lunatic. I already have the practice stages unlocked after a run-through with SanaeB.
-
Congrats Pakken and good luck ZM!
........................................
Anyway got MoF Perfect Stage 4 Lunatic! :) I've wanted to perfect this stage for a long time.
-
Thanks guys :DD
I guess PCB All Shots is next in line for me lol
Oh, and as I always say - UFO Marisa-B vs DDC Sakuya-B, I don't know which one devours more hair >A>
-
I LNB'd B1 in GFW, which is maybe the hardest route for no bomb? Idk, I'll have to look at the C routes too. Would have been easier if I had any strats for stage 2 and 3

Good job, Electric Tengu, and thanks!
Nicely done, Sakurei.

Have fun with that!
UFO!MarisaB is just...I dunno, she's just really annoying you use and get used to. If only she had a higher damage output...
-
Timed out Philosophers Stone (SA version) (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=37635)
-
UFO!MarisaB is just...I dunno, she's just really annoying you use and get used to. If only she had a higher damage output...
She, along with DDC SakuyaB, IN Sakuya Solo and Alice Solo, and MoF ReimuC, is generally put among the top 5 worst shot-types in terms of clear difficulty.
She isn't just "annoying" or "bad" - she is NOTORIOUSLY horrible.
-
In MoF, MarisaA is much worse than ReimuC. MarisaC in SA is also much worse than UFO's MarisaB. MarisaB is only "notoriously horrible" because people who use her are bad. They're people who are simply used to far more powerful shots (because they want to 1cc with everyone, for example). It's true that she has her issues, but she's not completely inept like Sanae in TD, or the shots I just mentioned. Or the two IN shots you mentioned. Some shots in PoFV are also much worse (e.g Sakuya or Tei).
That said, none of these shots are in the top 5 hardest 1ccs, no matter how you spin it. PoDD is just monopolizing survival difficulty as far as Touhou is concerned.
-
*shrug* Doesn't mean much coming from a scorer.
Generally. Think about that word. I used it for a good reason. (Including most people generally don't care about PC-98)
-
I don't really care if you disregard my opinion because I'm better than you, but the argument that people don't care about pc-98 isn't really solid. They're still there and thus need to be included. If you want to exclude them because you personally don't care about them, then you have to mention that you only mean the windows games. But as I said, you're quite wrong with MarisaB in UFO anyway.
-

She isn't just "annoying" or "bad" - she is NOTORIOUSLY horrible.
UFO MarisaB isn't a bad shot by any means. She's just aggravating for me to adjust to.
I can use TD!Sanae, MoF!MarisaA (to some extent), and SA!MarisaC quite fine, and they're all worse than UFO!MarisaB. Just something I have to get accustomed to.
-
@Loli: Better means nothing to someone who couldn't care less about getting "better," but rather "having fun."
Besides, scorer =/= better necessarily. It just means they play the game with a different attitude - for better or for worse.
Really, why can't you just lay off the prejudiced assumptions already? It's not good for your social life, you know.
EDIT: Btw, MoF Marisa-A is an homage (or rip off) of the freezing option shot-type of Gradius V, so people who play that game find it rather comfortable apparently. But you must've already known that *shrug*
=================================================================================================
http://replays.gensokyou.org/replays/th07/th7_udPn16.rpy
Absolutely horrible run - I don't even know how I made it through with a life in stock lol
But then again, Reimu hitbox is so cheating that half the time it does the dodging FOR you :V
-
Wait wait, is TD!Sanae that bad?...
I can see she is not as powerfull as in UFO, but really?
Might go back to Youmu then for that game LOL.
-
I just 1cc'd UFO Boss Rush on normal: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=37666
My first new 1cc in 6 years :P
-
Someday, I might use a character other than Marisa, but only after I've 1ccd all the main WIndows games with her -3-
Marisa fanboyism aside, I actually really look forward to trying out Sanae, Youmu (in 10D) and Reisen (in LLK, whenever that is released, assuming it isn't already).
If I ever decide to play the PC98 games seriously, I also look forward to trying out Yuuka and Mima! I really like both of them.
Anyway, onto actual achievements: I've been playing a bit of the Extra Stage in EOSD with my friend, nothing serious. I learned how to dodge most of Flandre's spells and now I know how to battle her until her second to last spell. Yes I do consider that an accomplishment.
-
@FT: Merisa fanboi *hi5* :V

@FT: Merisa fanboi *hi5* :V

and I seriously hope no one has ever pronounced Touhou as "To who" seriously. I know a few people pronounce it "Tall Hall" but that's arguably worse
-
After some problems with 10-6 and 10-7, I cleared whole ISC!
I also unlocked Ex scenes in StB. It's kinda funny how I have all scenes from day 7 and 9 cleared yet 5-5 is still left uncleared...
-
[Finally, I 1CCed UFO Normal.](http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=37700)
Very intense at the end, with lots of resources lost in Byakuren's last two spells. Some UFO snipes, but I actually made it.
-
Improved my IN PB by less than 5 million. New PB is 5,251,129,070 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=37705). Stages 1, 2 and 6B were all NMNB. Stage 3 was a bit shoddily done. Lots of PoCs done without being below -30% on the gauge so probably wasted quite a few points there. Also screwed up Keine's final (not her last spell). Couldn't get into a good starting position
(BECAUSE I WAS BEING SUPER PICKY FOR NO GODDAMN REASON) so died and bombed that. Quite messy from Starlight Typhoon to Illusion Seeker as well: deathbombed Starlight Typhoon, deathbombed Double Spark, died early on stage 5, bombed the section of enemies on stage 5 that spam you and then the screen gets cleared, died to Tewi's first and finally bombed Illusion Seeker. Could've got a much better score if I hadn't messed up all of that.
-
I can finally do IN's Stage 3 perfectly on normal with decent consistency. Time to pull an all nighter and try to 1CC it, yeah!
If I don't have this game 1CCd by the end of the month... I'm not gonna be surprised in the slighest. But I better do it, since if I don't do it this month, it's not gonna be anytime soon, because school will really start to pick up next month.
-
(http://s3.postimg.org/cqjebey5f/th004.png)
I don't even know what those side numbers mean, and I don't care.
I'm never playing IN stage 6b practice again. So I can always have that number by it's side... how ironic it's 6b, eh :derp:

Make sure to give Keine a good history lesson in Danmaku Patterns! ... or something.
Er, good luck!
-
It's the number of practice attempts you have, which includes spell practice. So that means to keep that number you aren't allowed to use spell practice for stage 6b on that difficulty ever again, as well as not entering the stage itself via this option. I really don't think this counts as an achievement, however. It's not even related to any given run. The blogging thread would have probably been the more suitable choice of thread.

Lunatic - Nether Team
Mr Jovial - 5,479,489,860 - Cb - 0.000% - Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=37809) - Video (https://youtu.be/mPx47mImKu8)
Significant improvement over my previous best score, about 200 million points better :smokedcheese:
1 death because I started Keine's final too far to the right and didn't kill the familiars that I normally do so ended up getting blocked. Couple of scattered bombs and deathbombs but I still barely managed to beat .ASP's score which was MotK's best score. I'm very happy right now :D I've been shaking since I reached stage 5 and only stopped after finishing the run. I think I broke something.
Looks like my current methods are only going to get me a little bit past 5.5 billion at most. Guess this means I'll have to optimise my current strategies and learn the last few things that I've ignored. I think it's mainly Mystia's "midboss" spell and her final spell that I haven't learned. Wonder how long 6 billion is going to take xD
-
Good job, and good luck getting 6b! :D
-
Congratulations Jovial! ;)
Best IN player on MoTK?
Good luck with 6b!
-
Best IN player on MoTK?
Probably not, if you go with what "IN player" literally means then Sakurei is probably best because breaking 3b on the extra stage is a huge feat and Sakurei also has a great score on easy. You could still argue that .ASP is better since they used border team and the border team WR is about 200m lower than the ghost team so I have a score advantage. I said "probably" because I suppose it requires a bit of personal judgement as to what's actually better...Nal Yoo has a lot of good scores on a wider range of characters/difficulties, maybe that's worth something.
In short, depends on what you think makes a better player :getdown: I personally think it's Sakurei, but others might think differently...THEY'RE WRONG
-
Score runs are very impressive but they're not my cup of tea
says the guy that tries to get every single point and power thingie on the screen
But, I dunno, what's harder? A No-Vertical No-Bomb No-Miss No-Focus Pacifist Lunatic clear, or a No-Miss Hi-Scoring Lunatic clear? (I didn't add No-Bomb sicne I don't know if they're useful for scoring, but something tells me they might be.)
-
A No-Vertical No-Bomb No-Miss No-Focus Pacifist Lunatic clear
... is probably impossible.
-
....It probably is.
...Or maybe it isn't...
...There definitely must be a TAS of that somewhere.
Nope, couldn't find any replays of it, maybe it is impossible. Though gensokyo org didn't have any TASes of it, either, so I dunno. I wonder if anybody has ever tried that? I'd pay to see it.
-
No-vertical typically requires dying/bombing, since some patterns are impossible.
Remove that, and sure, someone could TAS it. The bosses probably would be pretty boring though since it's pacifist (though pacifist stage portions can become extremely chaotic when enemies stay alive much longer than intended).
---
And an accomplishment of my own?!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkbXXmrnVWo
I streamed Touhou for the first time in over a year(?) (I hadn't played Touhou at all in a while either), and managed to randomly 1cc DDC Lunatic on a nearly-no-reset "how far can I go without stage practice?" attempt.
So now I have all Lunatic 1ccs in the standard Touhou games again (never bothered re-achieving that earlier after DDC's release, since I already preferred scoring at the time). Even if only for a few weeks...
-
I do wonder how far someone can get without shooting, bombing, dying, slowing down and going vertical once?
Anyway, I'm getting better at IN, so I might get a 1CC next time I tried. Although I always say "X game took me Y tries to 1CC", other than MOF and POFV, I don't have an exact number of tries I needed thanks to the fact I haven't played Touhou properly since 2013.
EOSD I'll still say it took me about 20,
POFV took me 9 tries, I counted it, and I did it in a span of two days,
10D I'll also say it took me about 20,
PCB I frankly have no idea. I think it totalized at roughly 38 tries, but if you only count how many times I tried this year, it was only about 4-6
MOF was 2, because I was just messing around with Marisa Bugged o3o
Well, for the ones I haven't 1ccd yet,
IN, well, I only really tried once this year, and I have no idea how many times I tried two years ago, but I doubt I tried too much,
UFO I never played that seriously. I only messed around with it for a bit and that's it.
SA, well, I have it, but I've only tested it.
DDC it's the same business.
LLK I only played at a friend's house for like 5 minutes.
I should keep up with the times.
-
Soo... heard about this lulzy safespot for the death fairy in IN extra, decided to try it. Works every time. Funny.
I barely play extras and I seriously considered exiting there, but decided to try anyway.
Beat her (barely).
The fact I've played IN extra all of three or so times, years ago showed...
1cc'ed IN lunatic, only finished extra 0/0 :V
Eh, not really proud of it, and could improve it a crapton... but later. Much later. Lunatic is more fun :V
On the other hand in the stage portion everything except for Keine is piss easy :l
-
Probably not, if you go with what "IN player" literally means then Sakurei is probably best because breaking 3b on the extra stage is a huge feat and Sakurei also has a great score on easy.

In short, depends on what you think makes a better player :getdown: I personally think it's Sakurei, but others might think differently...THEY'RE WRONG
You're comparing apples and oranges there. They're both round, sure. They're also both fruit and tasty. But that's where the similarities end. Comparing 2 players over different categories is difficult and you can't really determine who's the better player like that unless the differences are very large (e.g if I had my 3b extra score and you PB would be 3.5, not 5.5). It would take me a lot of practice to beat your score and likewise it would take you a lot of practice to beat mine. At the very least we can say you are better at surviving the game than I am.
PS: My easy mode score is bad.
-
I must admit Sakurei is a really impressive player, not everyone can do scoring like you can. Granted, I can't exactly tell how impressive it is, since I don't do score runs and I'm not interested in doing them (Hell, I'm not interested in ever trying to 1CC a game on any difficulty but Normal)
But we're all just having fun with a really nerdy niche game, aren't we? :V I suppose we all try having fun with it in different ways.
-
we're all just having fun with a really nerdy niche game, aren't we? :V

I have yet to capture Hanged Hourai Dolls, actually. Or Russian Dolls.
Though I'd agree, I find it her hardest card. 80% luck, 20% skill for me :]
Anyway... bunch of things I got recently I haven't bothered noting here until now.
I captured Sakuya's midboss nonspell on lunatic (stage 5)
I captured Sakuya's opener on max rank on lunatic (#luck)
I did a no death run of PCB stage 4 lunatic on practice mode (yay for +3 or so bombs from lives + bomb drops), and....
Another IN lunatic 1cc, this one much better then my last one and on Kaguya's route too!
1 life and 3 bombs left at the end... my practice paid off.
Though stage 5's start was pure horribleness :colonveeplusalpha:
-
Perfect UFO Stage 5 on lunatic. (https://youtu.be/iFoktq4jGfs) That got annoying quite fast, so much RNG ;-;
Also, I need somebody to explain how I even survived at about 1:50. I didn't know dodges could get so tight or so lucky ._.
-
I got a 1cc on EoSD normal - http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=37856
Eye mite have done something stoopid in a certain stage.
-
Hey, proper good job mate!
...Though I do have something to say about your run. You only died once without bombs in stock, sometimes you actually died with all three of them there, and you use Marisa B just like me! You need to learn to bomb more often, not every Touhou game is as forgiving as this one. I actually seriously thought you were attempting a No-Bomb run for a bit.
But again, congrats, and let's hope you have plenty more 1ccs on the way!
-
Actually EoSD is the game with the least resources and thus the least forgiving if you waste them
-
Well, I do find it more forgiving than others, but that might be because it is the one I played the most, and thus I'm most used to it, so I die far less.
-
Well, I do find it more forgiving than others, but that might be because it is the one I played the most, and thus I'm most used to it, so I die far less.
Die far less =/= more forgiving.
You're better at EoSD, the game isn't more forgiving.
Admit it, because even on normal difficulty being able to clear EoSD with stye is something to be proud of :P
Anyway, getting back into RSS.
Managed to get to Masquereidoscope before game-overing, and I've practiced the stages so a lunatic 1cc is more then doable :3
ReimuA hyper OP
I also did some spell practice, captured some difficult cards, such as War God Fusion Yamataizer (how chaotic can you make an attack :V) Solar Butterfly (why is it out of the ones I actually captured I found it by far the most difficult :getdown:), Tarumi's other spellcards (TIDE HOOO!!!!), Sword girl's opener on lunatic (fastest attack 2014?)
... Got Momohime's first spellcard to ~1/4th HP left in like 50 attempts :matsuriscowl:
I swear it feels like complete luck :l
Also Reimu's hyper bomb is really, really strong. Strong enough to kill Masquereidoscope in one use. :derp:
-
Actually EoSD is the game with the least resources and thus the least forgiving if you waste them
Ummmm, uh. I don't know how to tell any of you, but you're all wrong, if we want to be precise. Last time I checked, PoDD had only 4 extra lives for longer and more difficult stages than EoSD and even SoEW has overall less resources from what I know.
Of course, they're pc-98 games so "who cares, nobody plays them", but I always think they're worth mentioning because they're still Touhou games, and frankly, PoDD is too good to ignore.
-
SoEW has overall less resources from what I know.
Well enemies in SoEW randomly drop 1-up's so in theory the game could be the one with the most resources in the series. :V
-
Well, you can only have up to 5 lives at once, so you have to kill yourself anyway, at which point it's like no getting a 1-up at all, unless you used all your bombs, which probably won't always be the case if they really drop randomly.
-
IMO the PC98 games do count, obviously. They aren't any less of a Touhou game than the WIndows titles are.
But either way, eyah, I die far less in EOSD, that's why I thought itwas more forgiving, sowwy! -\o3o/-
-
Also mentioning the first Seihou installment (only 4 lives), as well as MoF (8 lives; difficult Stages 4 and 6), and TD (8 lives if you play excellently).
-
Both MoF and TD have far more bombs than EoSD, though. Not to mention the latter introduces Trances, which are basically "skip this pattern", hence they're more forgiving.
-
I honestly find the whole 'what game is the most unforgiving' somewhat moot.
They're as unforgiving as you make them...
Though yes, PoDD is probably the least forgiving overall but that game is crazy and it'd need to be ridiculously forgiving to be seen as anything but the hardest game overall.
EDIT:
RSS lunatic 1cc!

SA Lunatic 1cc :D
-
Went to practice Stage 4 on Normal. Net gain of 2 lives (9 life fragments turned into bomb fragments due to having full lives, and 1 death, hence "Uruwi+2" as the name). Captured her last spellcard.
In reality, I'd bomb more.
I tried to 420graze some of the sections that I ordinarily shoot down. I didn't manage to get a fragment on the first chapter, but right before the boss I think I managed to get enough graze.

Good luck with UFO and SA. They'll give you a heck of a time...
Cats make for the hardest stage 5 bosses, obviously :V
As for DDC.... Seija does what Nuetendont. Or something.
Anyway... I managed to survive the last 60% or so HP of Scarlet Gensokyo, no bombs.
Which is just woah. I mean... wow.
That run finished the stage practice with 3 lives remaining, which is amazing.
The metric crapton under a stick of EoSD stage 6 practice is starting to show... :3
Also I just realized...
There's only one nonspell in EoSD lunatic I haven't captured yet.
Sakuya's second nonspell as a boss...
Far cry from all lunatic spellcards captured but meh ::)
I really should get back on point with 1cc attempts.
Too busy doing practice runs :P
Horray procastination!
Amen :P
-
Thank you, mate! Well yeah, I can imagine that they'll be pretty challenging not only because of difficulty but also because I probably will have little time to practice them. How did I 1CC IN then? Horray procastination, fan-flipping-tastic, my Databases teacher is gonna be so proud of me! :P
But yeah as always if I need any specific help I'll beg for it over at the other thread.

Nice work to Mino and Jaimers. Even if I hadn't been swamped with work the past few days I probably still wouldn't have come close to either of you lol. Okay, maybe I shouldn't be saying that, but a perfect Stage 4 has eluded me so far, so yeah. :V
Just a random tidbit for Jaimers' replay, I've been able to reach over 300 graze in the third section with Reimu by staying inside all the lasers for a couple of great-fairies. I start near the top and stream the smaller fairies down, and her homing makes sure that no bullets will be fired straight down at me. I'll get a replay up once I have more time.
EDIT: Replay's now attached. I want to say Reimu actually gets more graze by being slightly off-center between the lasers, to catch more of them inside her puny graze-box.
EDIT#2: Randomly felt like practicing LoLK Stage 6, and ended up making some progress on Junko. Captured her second nonspell for the first time since my Pointdevice clear, and I'm timing my movements better on her third nonspell (her fourth spell is good for finding out what that timing is since it's pseudo-static).

LoLK Lunatic Stage 1 (http://replay.royalflare.net/replay/th15_udy979.rpy), Stage 2 (http://replay.royalflare.net/replay/th15_udy980.rpy), and Stage 4 (http://replay.royalflare.net/replay/th15_udy981.rpy) perfect runs.
Don't leave me too far behind Jaimers. :P Stages 1 and 2 took way longer than they should have, and dying on Sagume's final attack three separate times is not fun, but glad they're out of the way now.
In other news, I captured Junko's survival card for the first time, along with her fourth nonspell after what feels like forever. I also finally feel like I'm making progress on HUGE RED LASERS Lilies of Murderous Intent, though I didn't capture it in the same run as the two aforementioned attacks.
EDIT: ISC Scene 8-6 no item clear! (http://score.royalflare.net/th143/replay143/th143_ud04b6.rpy)
Holy crap finally. Randomly booted ISC back up tonight and got this after a bit of grinding. Apparently this one took 802 tries total. I was expecting it to be well over 1000 or something. :/ Only 10-4 and 10-7 remain, but who knows when I'll get either of those.
EDIT#2: LoLK Extra Stage clear (http://replay.royalflare.net/replay/th15_udy988.rpy).

LoLK Legacy Lunatic 1cc -- YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8p-jFESdYw), replay attached
Looks like despite barely doing any survival runs in years, I still have some 1cc-ing ability in me... or at least planned bombing ability. Yay for Sanae bomb-grazing. (Then again, planned bombing is how I got nearly all my Lunatic 1ccs in the past, anyway...)
This took about 7-8 hours total, including stage practice (and the continue run to unlock it).
-
I finally got the LoLK lunatic NMNB stage 4 run.
I probably had like 8 or 9 1MNB runs, but I'm not completely sure since I wasn't keeping count. And two of them were because I forgot to safespot the 3rd spell. :V
-
I know this isn't that much of an achievement but hey 3cc TLC lunatic :V
Would've gotten to Michel before gameovering had I not derped a lot :P
The REAL achievement was the amazing Iesua fight - entered with 1 life and 2 bombs, exited with 1 bomb.
I'm not sure if that'll become standard or not.
I can 1cc, I know it. Just gotta become better at early game :3
Could've been a 2cc though - stage 3 boss first nonspell derp, stage 3 boss final spell derp, stage 4 sudden ball spam fairy derp, stage 3 midboss nonspell, Mumumu final spell derp, 1 derp in stage 6 portion and 1 derp during Michel. Basically, I think I'd need to no death stages 1, 2 and maybe 3? to 1cc.
I think it's a bit silly you can't get extra lives after you game-over...
Also Iesua's last spellcard ends if you time out the phase with Janet, Michel and Mumumu, which is nice because once you take out Janet it's piss easy.

It took a while, but I have finally managed a LoLK lunatic pointdevice no bombs clear. Full disclosure: I made use of a bug that allows you to fix your power at 4.00 power for Junko's final; the first time I tried this with Reimu at 3.00 power, 425 of those 1119 attempts were all that one card until I finally gave up. ;^^ I suppose I can be happy with how this run went, though I'm unsure if/when I'll start giving legacy 1cc attempts a go.
-
TLC lunatic stages 4, 5 and 6 cleared in practice mode! :3
Before you laugh, you start with 2 lives/3 bombs like EoSD and can't get any extra resources unlike EoSD, which is quite annoying.
Stages 5 and 6 took one try (got lucky on stage 5 ;)) and stage 4 took like an hour of grinding the stage :V
Goddamnit, Mumumu. Become undamned so I can damn you m'self :V :sword!:

Anyway, turns out Marisa has spell practice unlocked for TLC lunatic. Why is beyond me, it's weird. :l
But anyway, captured Mumumu's survival + all of Iesua's cards except her survival.
Iesua's last card probably took me the most attempts... sad, it isn't that hard of a pattern, but those pure white glowbullets are just obnoxious.

I. Love. Pointdevice.
(http://i.imgur.com/4uONe3Vl.png)
Wish I could share a replay. And I am positive that the bulk of those 537 retrys were spent on Clownpiece's Hell Eclipse, for which I had no bomb. I'm surprised it took me less than 3 hours altogether, though. Is that typical? Sure felt longer than that at times. Still, love this game.
Now on to Extra!

Finally cleared Normal pointdevice. I'm raging far too much for clipping bullets to keep going on Legacy, for now.

But with the amount of BS pixel-perfect micrododging you need to do during the final boss...
I don't think the bomb's hitbox extension would go very well with that ^^'
-

Makes it a bit harder, sure, but it at least allows for 3 errors, rather than trying to perfect the micrododging, be one pixel off and lose 3 bombs (which is what made me switch from Sanae to Reisen).
The increased graze box makes it easier to hit the 200+ graze mark, as well, which you have to actually plan to get on normal, it feels like.
Admittedly, Reisen might be awful on Hard/Lunatic, but haven't tried them much since the trial.
-
Reisen dominates Hard, as well. Lunatic too, I imagine.
-
(http://puu.sh/jWWaY/694a5346ea.jpg)
Beat my score. I dare you.
(all upgrades allowed)
-
Finally cleared LoLK Extra with Reisen.
Seriously, this has to be one of the most difficult Extra Stages (and this is comparing against Yukari, Mokou and Koishi). Yeah, the stage itself isn't overly hard (heck, I've gotten the hang of even the last (ridiculously tanky) fairy), but some of Hecatia's spells are ridiculous in terms of difficulty (not terrible, per-say, just hard) and her non-spells are like Yukari x 2 (let's not even talk about Junko's non-spells).
Heck, the only reason I even got the clear is because Reisen's bomb/spell lets you take a ton of hits (and it also doesn't count as failing the drop conditions for Doremy or the doom(?) fairies when it hits the shield. Yay, post-mid 1UP). I tried Sanae, but Extra Boss Bomb Immunity makes the boss fight difficult because I can't damage much in the spells. That, plus it'd let me practice the attacks more. So glad I finally have this under my belt.
Now to consider whether to try LLS Extra again... >~<''

(Senri Shrine throughout; bombing twice on Jun, suiciding twice for bombs on Aoji, and doing with what I had left on Sese. Next is to the Fantasy Seawall so I can unlock Medias (graze upgrades) and Kunimitsu.)
-
Makes it a bit harder, sure, but it at least allows for 3 errors, rather than trying to perfect the micrododging, be one pixel off and lose 3 bombs (which is what made me switch from Sanae to Reisen).
With Sanae I recommend simply not bothering to attempt Junko's annoying dense rings (unless you're out of bombs). Just plan to bomb-graze every one of them; the grazing should give a life part back on all except maybe the first two nonspells. (Many of the patterns take multiple bombs though, so you'd need to build up lives from easier boss patterns and stage portions...)
-
I am not sure if this counts as an accomplishment, or not, but here's the results of my PD Reimu pacifist run on Easy.
(http://www.ljplus.ru/img4/h/o/holy_flayer/Pointevice_easy_modo_Reimu.jpg)
Well, that was quite interesting. Avoiding yin-yang orbs/fairies while they are shooting at you in stages 4 and 5 was definitely a thing. And i think a bulk of these deaths were me colliding with a yin-yang orb/fairy and trying to figure out the correct path. Also from my calculations, Junko herself was the cause of ~80 retries give or take. =)
-
Finally decided to get around to doing LoLK Extra, so I pulled out Reisen... first try was a total wash and I only got to the boss with a couple bombs, no lives, died on card two. :T Second try went a lot better (I've seen the boss get cleared so I knew what to expect and el o el Reisen shields, those cards are stilll a lot harder in practice than looking at a replay though...) and I find myself near the end of the survival card with no shields left, no lives, 4/5 life pieces... and I died at the last moment.
And earned my extra life on like the next frame and didn't game over holy crap. LoLK extra scrubby clear :D Emphasis on scrubby; I vomited multiple shields on every attack other than the first nonspell/spell and the yellow nonspells. Reisen is silly. (Looking at the replay, I died at between 0.4 and 0.2 seconds left in the card... man, I really was probably within frames of not having my extra life in time. XD)
I noticed, on those surprisingly non-simple fairies at the very end of the stage... their pattern is alternating left-spinning circle and right-spinning circle. If you move left with the left circle and right with the right circle, no vertical, you can easily stay far away from the bullets without having to do anything weird. Tap tap tap~

But on the bright side, only 10-4 is left, and then I can finally put this game to rest.

First attempt at TD Normal. Had to stop at Stage 6 for family reasons, but let's face it, I wasn't going to 1cc the game.

Maybe this is hindsight talking, but I don't know why I didn't think to use the Jizo Statues to help practice ISC 10-4 sooner. Just being able to do the "12-second nightmare" part at all has helped me improve much faster than before. Haven't cleared the scene without getting hit yet, but I finally managed a run that survived the entire first wave, which is a very big step in the right direction. Now if only I could find a way to kill Remilia before the second set of lanes starts up (yeah right :V)...

TLC Lunatic 1cc!
:getdown::getdown::getdown:
With one bomb left.
I came into 'The one Coming at the end of the world' with 1 life, died to first Mumumu wave =_= then timed out the rest of the relatively easy first phase by bombing/using invincibility every time Mumumu attacks. I don't care that it's a wuss move, I did it.
The stages STILL didn't unlock for practice though, which is getting very annoying.
But I digress. TLC is an amazing game and I've finally cleared it properly :P
-
Nice job!
-
I finally managed to beat my second extra boss the other day, Koishi. It actually wasn't as hard as I thought, her nonspells are ridiculously easy for one thing, the stage didn't bother me too much, and most of the spellcards were pretty simple. I somehow managed to keep a perfect run going too up until Genetics of the Subconscious, and had a really sloppy Philosophy of a Hated Person and Subterranean Rose runs, but I'm still happy anyways.
Also managed 1cc of all characters in SA for normal, thinking of trying to start practicing hard or something, or try to actually work on PCB, which I have the least amount of 1cc's for, oops. Ironic considering that's the other game which I've beaten the extra boss of.

First Sanae attempt at PD for LoLK
(http://i.imgur.com/COECw47.png)
-
So... after 20, 30 or so attempts I captured Iesua's survival on lunatic.
Somehow I imagine most wouldn't believe me when I tell them one of the main reasons the spell is difficult is because the odd glow-worm thing spawns at the bottom of the screen with no warning, which clips or walls you off way more often then it should.
Also capturd Sanae's midboss spell but that was much easier, even if it isn't an easy card :P
So... that's every stage 6 spellcard captured on lunatic in TLC.
Woo :toot: ::)

So I'm randomly playing LoLK for the first time in a few weeks, and I end up having my personal best run against Clownpiece: 1M1B, both mistakes on her second card, and everything else perfected.

Congrats! It is always a good feeling to achieve those kinds of goals.
Meanwhile, I've been practicing Junko a lot lately, and managed to get a fairly decent lunatic run. It's not perfect by any means, but I managed to do a run beating her that captured everything but her second and final spell cards. Here's a video, if anyone is interested:

I haven't even been practicing this as much lately, but I finally started seeing improvement in my ability to read Mokou's rings of doom, so I just kept at it. Thankfully it only took a small handful of tries tonight. This now makes it five games where I've perfected every stage.

You have no idea how relieving this is. To come back years after pretty much officially giving up on perfecting this stage, the only one I've ever said that for (aside from EoSD lol), this is actually massive for me.

LoLK Normal no bomb clear (http://score.royalflare.net/th15/replay15/th15_ud010f.rpy) with Reimu. This was easier than I expected. Its not extra but its still something.
No deaths from stage 4 midboss up to Clownpiece but then I realized I had max lives and began to panic. In total I died 18 times with most of them occurring while grazing but I still managed to 1cc. Also 199 graze on Sagume's first nonspell...

Admittedly, I've done Normal 1ccs before on most every game I own, with some difficulty. This, however, is something I did not expect. The run went incredibly smoothly, especially with being only one death shy of a NMNB Stage 6! On top of that... I'm pretty sure this was my first time playing PCB in over a year. So, yeah, this caught me totally off guard!
...It also started out being a No Bombs attempt, but that fell through the cracks when I deathbombed out of reflex in Stage 4. ^^;

EoSD Normal Perfect Run! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=38598)
Never thought this day would come. So many runs ended on Scarlet Shoot but not this time!
And with this I've done perfect normal runs of TD and EoSD. So many more left to do.
-
Beat three more extra bosses finally, Mokou as Remilia solo, Suwako as ReimuA, and Raiko as MarisaB. There were all pretty sloppy, Mokou ended with only one bomb and Suwako with no resources at all, but oh well. That makes it five so far, though except for Flandre and Mamizou, I haven't gotten too close to beating any others, so I guess I need some more practice.
Also got another normal 1cc of MoF, this time with MarisaC, and was my best of the three so far. I should probably work towards hard 1cc's at some point...
Moreso, I feel silly for not realizing that deathbombs in IN costed 2 bombs instead of one until the Mokou runs recently, out of the years I've played it off and on.

Getting back to UFO after a while, but not doing so well with that no-UFO 1cc yet, so I've been playing stages in Practice to reacquaint myself with stuff.

Today, I played Hecatia with Reisen of course... :derp:
Only had 4 spells and captured most of them Junko's 1st spell and Hell's non Ideal Danmaku are the ones that bring me lots of trouble... The rest aren't a big problem...
I'm pretty happy tho. This is probably the closest I am from beating an Extra... I know... It's ridiculous, but for me is an achievement...

Yeah, I can't even find the words. It was my first original MMD and it's really weird seeing all those people praising it.

Not a 1cc, but still my personal best attempt (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=38707) at a UFO Lunatic no-UFOs 1cc. I made two big mistakes that ended up costing me here: dying twice on Shou's final, then foolishly thinking I could end Byakurens fourth nonspell in time with 3 Power (which is where I game-over'd). Pretty much a textbook example of why you should never die with bombs in stock, if anyone ever needs a source for it lol.
Playing this game without UFOs really is legit. You have to capture so much more stuff than you normally would. Despite those two big mistakes, I still made it very far thanks to capturing things like PSM, the blue orb spam near the end of Stage 3, Greatest Treasure, and the Stage 5 fairy rush, which gave me room to use bombs elsewhere. Surviving those attacks is definitely motivating for future runs. Just have to push my resource management to the next level.

UFO Lunatic no-UFOs 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=38718)!
Hell. Yes. Take that, UFO!
...okay, now that that's out of my system, holy crap am I excited I finally got this. Finished 0/0 like a good-old-fashioned first 1cc, though I really didn't help myself by dying on Magic Milky Way with bombs in stock twice. Really overestimated myself there. Outside of that attack, this run went pretty much exactly as I had wanted, and thankfully it was enough to last the whole way. Now I can finally say I've done everything I wanted to do with this game.
EDIT: Video now on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g85LZSTw3Ac).

DDC Stage 3 Lunatic perfect run (http://replay.royalflare.net/replay/th14_udz452.rpy)!
It only took me 2+ calendar years to perfect something beyond Stage 2 lol. I've only recently (read: today) gotten back into DDC, so I was prepared to grind out a lot more Spell Practice runs, but I'm still glad this happened at all. I always knew I'd have to get "that one good run" through all of Kagerou's nonspells to pull this off anyway. DDC is brutal. And that's how I like it. :V
-
Improved my IN PB by a whopping...1.24 million points to 5,514,818,970 :V (to put this into perspective, if 1 of the point items I got double value on after ~stage 4 had been completely missed, this wouldn't be a PB)
It was so insignificant I even forgot to save a replay xD which also means I can't submit to the high score entry, but if even I don't care, probably no one does
Oh well, was a pretty solid run up to stage 6B, if you discount the bombs used for scoring it was LNNN up to Eirin's non. Deathbombed that, then deathbombed Dragon Bullet then died to Buddhist Diamond. That's what, like 80m? Messed up the PoC after Illusion Seeker on stage 5 too. Stages 2 and 3 dropped some time points as well. Stage 2 was a somewhat average stage section, only 15k time when my route should allow me ~17.5k. Also messed up Keine's Three Treasures -Country-. 2 of the waves I messed up Keine's movement which means I missed the supergraze on both of those waves.
On a different note, I noticed I'm missing quite a big PoC on stage 3 by not killing the fairies. It's the section just after the midboss, I'm not killing the fairies that go from left to right and they have a ton of point items. I did at least slightly modify my Firefly Phenomenon for a very slight increase in time points. Otherwise, looks like my route is probably good for ~5.6b. Still need to scan through some 6b replays to get a better idea of what I'm losing points on. I know there's lots of time points on Kaguya that I'm not getting (~15k, not worth too much though due to limited point items) but I'm really tight for time recently. First semester at Uni just took a somewhat sharp turn and got quite busy with work. Hopefully I'll find some time to actually improve some scoring stuff, I've been awfully lazy about it.
-
Hooray, 1cc of LoLK!

Been having trouble perfecting DDC Extra lately, so I decided to do some Stage 4B on a whim. And after some Spell Practice grinding, I think I've made my biggest progress ever on Yatsuhashi's cards. I optimized the height I stay at for her first card, I'm steadily getting more used to Echo Chamber, and most surprisingly, I'm capturing her final more often, to the point where it no longer feels like it really belongs in ISC lol. Here's my best attempt at the full stage tonight, a 2MNB run (http://replay.royalflare.net/replay/th14_udz511.rpy). I couldn't quite carry over my success on Echo Chamber into any real runs though, and her final is her final, so yeah. And there's really no reason for me to not be using the safespot on the fairy rush, but I want a challenge. At least it's early in the stage.
-
I still didn't clear EMS Extra, but I did make it to Saragimaru's last spellcard again, now with three bombs.
I found out a pre-midboss route that yields more score than my previous strategy.
I found out that Lumen's first spell is easier if you make mostly horizontal dodges.
Unfortunately, still no safespot for Saragimaru's fourth nonspell on regular Extra, or it's pixel-perfect.
-
At last, I have cleared EMS Extra, which took many more tries than RMI or EE.
The whole thing required cutthroat resource management, as some of Saragimaru's attacks eat up lots of bombs. I had to NMNB the stage portion, find a safespot for Saragimaru's fourth nonspell, and capture her seventh spell. I obtained the 30 million extend at the last minute, giving me a life and two bombs for her last spellcard.
At least I had four bombs left.

My first MoF Lunatic Stage 6 NMNB! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7KY1S06zrI)
I've perfected Kanako before, but I wanted to get the whole stage.
Now that I'm more consistent at Kanako, LNB is just around the corner. Just gotta keep going.
-
LNB 1cc of PCB! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=38878) This was a 10 miss run with many deliberate border breaks.
My previous best run was from four days ago, when I game-overed on Resurrection Butterfly with 14 seconds left. I had one spare life entering the spell and was really jittery, so I could hardly read the waves. This time I had two spare lives and felt a lot better, and I actually only died to the last wave. A capture would have been great but I won't complain :P This was my first credit since that other run.
I took a few silly deaths (Chen's midboss spell, Lyrica's tap-tap nonspell), but I had a no-death Stage 3 and I timed borders correctly for several hard attacks.
I'd like to LNB in the future without deliberately using borders. It feels arbitrary though, because even if you don't break borders using the X key, there's still the question of accidentally-on-purpose running into bullets during them, and of syncing them with hard attacks.

Took me a while, but needless to say I'm proud.
-
Today taught me just how ridiculous the UFO system is. Game Over'd on Stage 6 Hard, continued, and proceeded to bomb the absolute shit out of Byakuren and beat the stage. Didn't realize the game gives you seven bombs in like two minutes.
-
Today, after practicing a bit for 4 days, I finally "beat" my first touhou ; PCB on normal with ReimuB ! Well, with 2 continues...
Wasn't planned first, it was just a warm up run before practicing Youmu's stage, but went very well finally ! It was the first time for me to play after the first Yuyuko's SC (but I saw some video) so Yuyuko fight was... "graze, *random moves which magically works* graze, bomb, bomb, die" *repeat*. Youmu's First SC tends to be really hard for me too...
But Practice Stages unlocked, so no more excuse to not get the 1cc ! (totally and no that hard doable I think)
Also, could someone help me with all those abreviations of "Run summary" ? Like "L9MNB1BB" ? ??? maybe missed a (sticky?) thread about that..
-
I only know a few, so I'm not sure how many other ones there are:
I'm guessing you probably saw LNB and LNMNB since those are the most common. These stand for "Lunatic, no bomb clear" and "Lunatic, no miss/no bomb clear"
you can tack on -NBB for Perfect Cherry Blossom meaning "no borders broken". Broken cherry borders are basically zero-damage bombs, so people like to restrict that too. 1BB would be 1 border broken. 9M would be nine misses I suppose. Presumably though 1BB would mean the person was gunning for a NBB game and got really close, while 9M is just a matter of fact summary of the run.

Thanks dude, wasn't that hard to find ! I figured that NB = No Bomb, same for BB, but couldn't find for the "L" (not that hard) and NM (I expected ND for No Death).

The abbreviation NDNB does get used occasionally, but NMNB seems to be more common, and it seems to be what the Japanese players use too.
Personally I think "no miss" gets confusing for people unfamiliar with the term (I think I've seen a "no miss" run in some other game where it meant every shot hits something), though you do get used to it after seeing it for a while.
There isn't a sticky about this, but that seems like a good idea?

I personally tend to think that ND is a bit more specific than NM, as ND would imply that you didn't die. in EoSD for example when you still have a miss due to a deathbomb (lets just assume you had to deathbomb.) The resultscreen counts deathbombs as a miss after all. I think some other shmups do the same too, therefore I often have thought of NM as the "Don't get hit at all and don't die too" term and ND as the "No deaths" specific term.
-
I decided to try for a better BoSM lunatic no miss, to see what a run by someone who's actually played the heck out of the demo would look like.
I bombed only once before Shelia, and bombed 4 times to her.
A nigh-perfect run IMO - the only things that would be different was capturing Shelia's first spellcard, and arguably her last nonspell.
I finished with 6 lives and 6 bombs, with 2 bomb pieces.

Got these two at last! Only one more Easy/Normal card left to capture.
EDIT: ...and I got it on my very next attempt, as well as getting MoF a second time in that run! :D
-
I randomly captured Music Sign "Double Score" in stage practice, and captured a lot of spellcards for DDC lunatic in spell practice.
Also perfect stage 1/1 bomb stage 2 lunatic.

EoSD LNB! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=39050)
Finally my first LNB. I've been trying for weeks so its about time this happened.
good shit son keep it up
-
1CCed RMI hard.
Made a grave blunder on Kuroji and Saragimaru's collaborative nonspell, but finished Stage 5 with 4 bombs left. Didn't quite defeat Shion, though, but she's entirely optional anyway. Maybe I'll play again and manage to defeat her.
Edit: LoLK Legacy Normal 1cc!
-
Hiya, I just registered. I started playing Touhou like a month ago, but my total play time had to be less than 6 hours :D I had no time at all.
So yeah, after being close like 4 times, I finally managed to 1cc EoSD on Normal difficulty. It's my first 1cc and I'm super proud of it :D I think I was failing because I didn't use bombs in time and lost too many lives because of that.
Here it is: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=39091
By the way, I managed to get to Flandre on my 1st try of the Extra stage, so I'm also proud of that.

Whoa, you managed to do a 1cc after such a short playtime? I'm jealous, it took me at least three months to get my first 1cc (and I played A LOT in my spare time).
Congrats!
-
Having early decent bombing habits tends to do that.
-
my total play time had to be less than 3 hours
Sorry, that's a typo, I meant to say less than 6 hours. There's no way I could do it that early. I was still practicing stage 4 or 5 at that playtime. But I guess it's still kinda good, right?
Also, I think I could have done it a bit earlier, but I managed to beat everything (except Sakuya's Marionette and Remilia's Scarlet Netherworld and Red Magic) without bombing in practice, so I thought I don't have to use them (and failed horribly).

Have you already played other non-Touhou danmaku games?

EoSD LNB #2 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=39121)
7 miss like last time but now with only 2 on stage 6 which were to SG.
This is a big accomplishment since I now know my first LNB wasn't a fluke.
Guess I'll aim for a low miss run next. I really need to learn how to cap Megalith...
-
So the new year has started very well for me :D I managed to 1cc Normal with the remaining characters, too.
Reimu B - http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=39110
Done 20 minutes after midnight. I felt terrible while doing this run. I was shaking and I struggled to concentrate, so I had to take a rest before facing Remilia (it didn't help much, though).
Reimu A - http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=39122
I am not used to Reimu's slow speed and low damage and I had little to no practice on Patchouli's spells (same goes for the Reimu B run), so I was surprised that it went so well. I am a bit upset that I didn't reach 80M points, though.
Marisa B - http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=39123
I felt like this was a horrible run (considering I practiced this character the most), but at least I finished it :D
Now, I'd like to ask - what should I try to do next? 1cc Hard or finish the extra stage?
Also, I'd like to wish you all a happy new year and I hope you achieve all your goals. This is probably the last time I'm posting here for a long time - winter holiday is about to end, so I will have no time again.

You should start using default setting instead of giving yourself extra lives.

Oh, thanks for telling me, I totally forgot you can change your number of lives. I guess it wouldn't make much of a difference though, I still had some lives left at the end (but I did it again with the default setting, just to make sure :D)

If you can 1cc with default lives, then extra stages are probably the next logical. After clearing a couple of those, moving on to hard mode is common. Most people do it in this order, I think.
-
I just did a 1cc MS on Normal.
(http://i.imgur.com/kI4FtYY.png) (http://i.imgur.com/jpK5hBO.png)
I still cannot perfectly deal with those Cheetos lasers but I did manage my bombs just for this one so it's okay. And then I had to improvize because I never went past those before.
I've been thinking about switching to Hard now. First levels of Normal really aren't a problem anymore (I think I had 5 Lives/5 Bombs at Stage 4 Boss or something).
Or try to do some Extra, I have no idea.

OOOH YEAAH, first Touhou 1CC ever ! PCB Normal with ReimuB !

FINALLY!!!!!!!!
MoF 1cc ReimuA
Replay: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=39155 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=39155)
I had enough faith this time, I guess. :D
Somehow timed out the Mountain of Faith spellcard too. :toot:
-
I also finally managed a 1cc with ReimuA :) Score 361m, which is a huge improvement over my first (ReimuB) 1cc. Even so, I messed up some of the scoring on Stage 2 and after that I was playing a bit half-heartedly. I guess that's actually a good mood, as it helped me not get frustrated when the silly mistakes started happening :)
Highlights include:
* Died to Aya's final after defeating her.
* First capture of Sanae's "Preparation".
* Stupid death to Sanae's final, running into the back end of one wave while trying to position myself for the next.
* Pre-emptively bombed Miracle of Otensui, but it wasn't enough to finish the spellcard, so I tried to play it properly and died. Hung about in the middle to weaken the spell so that my second bomb would definitely finish it -- and then died again :D leaving me on my last life.
* Managed to waste four bombs on Mountain of Faith by hitting the bomb key just after pulling off an impossible dodge. This left me bombless for the last thirty seconds of the fight.
* ...and I still won :)
-
I captured Aya's last spellcard in MoF on hard. With zero power.
How did I do that
-
I somehow captured utsuho's first spellcard at a history of 1/67 with reimuA when I was trying to unlock stage 6 for practice mode.
I kept pushing my luck and doing it over and over again without bombing and I got it after some tries with the continues
I wouldn't test my luck again though :V
-
For the first time in the four or five years I've been playing Touhou, I finally captured the big fairy at the end of PCB stage 4 on Lunatic! :]
Been playing a ton of PCB actually and have captured a bunch of cards I've never been able to get down. I don't think I'll ever capture Yuyuko's midspell with the teal knives, but I'm okay with it.

Grats - it's easily the hardest one out of her lot. I personally think the fight actually gets easier as it goes.
-
Probably, but the one with the 10 spinning suns still gets me alot too on hard.
But this was kind of my plan to level up from normal mode, start right off the bat with SA on hard. :D
I know it works since I could do IN effortlessly on hard both routes after awhile.
What do you mean IN is the easiest game? hue hue hue :3

Thanks for that!
Though I need to pratice 'cause I keep getting clipdeaths from the changing directions of the smaller purple bullets.

Spell Practice is fun.
Anyway in RSS I got a bunch of captures in spell-practice, including:
Solar Butterfly in two tries
Shangri-La Genesis
Queen of Kidou, Shining like the Sun
But most importantly...
After 131 attempts, I captured Memory "The Dream the Stars Saw"!
Took more attempts than all of Momohime's other spellcards combined :V
Really happy with that though. Queen of Kidou isn't that bad when you understand how the birds coming from the edges of the screen are actually aimed (aimed where you are when the fire noise happens).
EDIT:
Second RSS lunatic 1cc, this time with MarisaB - done on a whim to unlock the Marisa Kodama spell on lunatic for spell-practice, it's the only one I hadn't captured on spell-practice at the time.
All spells captured in RSS lunatic without Hypers, mostly in spell practice.
-
Recently played SA with Marisa/Alice and man I love this shot type, with it I reached half way Orin. But I still feel she's impossible for me...
Marisa/Alice is by far the shot type I've made my best run with... Had 5 lives when entering stage 4 lost one life with Satori. Then, lost a life with Cat's walk... Then Orin rekt me...

huzzah Hard IN 1cc :] replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=39208)

Guess I'll go for a no bomb clear.
Three months later.
LoLK Extra 4 Miss No Bomb! (http://score.royalflare.net/th15/replay15/th15_ud01cc.rpy)
Two miss on the second last stage chapter, one to the 6th non-spell, and one to the final spellcard.
This could have been a full spellcard run but I died to the final spell. A 2 miss Hecatia is pretty good for my first no bomb run.
I also got my first DDC Extra No Bomb (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=39247) clear with ReimuB today. There were a bunch of lucky dodges in this run.
And with these two done the only windows game left that I'm interested in to no bomb extra is PCB.
-
WNSP lunatic 1cc, 2 lives and 1 bomb left. (3/6 and 2/3 respectively)
I had only one death until Minayu, bombed her first non as usual, got really unlucky twice on her first spell (death, then bomb), got unlucky on her next nonspell and had to bomb right at the end, captured Ground Stained Russet Brown, got unlucky and had to bomb at her third nonspell, died once and clipped with full bombs on her next spell, then spent one bomb at her last spell.
It's good overall, but I know I can do much better. It's frustrating.
Still, I'm happy with it. I remember the last time I played this game and could barely reach stage 3 on hard.

MoF Normal NMNB! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=39328)
I'm surprised this happened considering this is the first run I've done since I got that Normal 1MNB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=39003) back in November.
So many lucky dodges in this run. Completely forgot how to cap Kanako's penultimate spell but I somehow managed.
And with this I've NMNB'd normal in EoSD, MoF, and TD. Next up is UFO whenever I have time.

Thanks a lot everyone.
That run stirred up a whole lot more than I ever thought (On Twitter and the Chinese Wiki at least, I'm hella famous now).
PS: For Youmu, the optimal route is NMNB. The previous record was NMNB as well. Other shots may use a bomb or two but not necessarily. Just as a small piece of trivia. I was making a joke by highlighting the NMNB part of the run instead of the score. w

After an hour of rage and sadness, this happened. Pandemonium Capture. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3DtqS8o06E) If you look real hard, you'll notice that all my other replays have massive slowdown. That's because I used a TAS tool to unlock all the scenes. But this one's not a TAS. :] (also the video is quiet)

Captured Foggy London Dolls no-focus twice in succession. It's a small victory over a card that used to give me nightmares :)

IN Marisa/Alice Normal 1cc!! Yay! I really wanted to try the other shot-types (since I only played with Reimu/Yukari :V). I first went with Sakuya/Remilia and lost at Kaguya's 2nd non-spell then tried Marisa/Alice and boom! Cleared with only a bomb left :3

Just managed to 1cc IN Hard with Alice (solo), with no spare lives or bombs remaining. I was 4/1 at the start of the Kaguya fight (with two really silly deaths in the stage part), but only had 0/3 at the start of Hourai Jewel. I survive the initial part, only to clip one of the circular bullets (and hence deathbomb). I then manage to clip another circular bullet with ~50 seconds remaining. What followed was 30 seconds of crazy luck as I flung my character up and down the screen in order to dodge the rainbow bullet streams; how I managed to avoid everything is a complete mystery to me.

Congratulations, Sakurei and ZM on your runs. They were both beautiful.
Lotus Land Story EX NMNB w/ReimuB (https://youtu.be/nOW3LfZyjHE) kind of a silly run, I can probably improve the score in this one for a bit as certain things went a little bit wrong, mainly point item collection which could've been a little bit better. The goal was just to do an NMNB, kind of the second one since I did one with MarisaA 2 years ago. I did try to see if I can score a bit with a route I just made up, but it definitely can be improved.

I haven't really played Touhou in years apart from going through the new games for a week or two after release, but I figured I'd open up PCB Extra for funsies. Aaand... I got a no death clear first try? XD Welp, I guess it's like riding a bike.
Captured 8 cards, although I was breaking borders for safety purposes to make sure I cleared, which, uh, didn't end up being a problem after all XD Man, the deathbomb window is bigger than I thought it was... (Granted, I only (death)bombed on spellcards twice; Perfect Bhuddist because I haven't seen it in years and flubbed up the first phase transition, and Charming Siege because sometimes it decides NO HOW ABOUT YOU GET ONE SQUARE CENTIMETER OF SPACE HAVE FUN) To be fair though, most of Ran's cards really aren't hard once you know what you're doing, apart from like... Charming Siege, yes. >_> She's more like training mode for beating Yukari.
The fun part was playing for half a second, going "Why is my inp-OH YEAH CLOSE THE GAME, OPEN IT WITH VSYNC INSTEAD". EoSD and PCB desperately need the vsync patches @.@ It's like half a second of delay otherwise.
Maybe I should like, actually play these games again more??? Granted I really wish I had a CRT if I was going to do that, so they didn't look so dang fuzzy. I stopped playing pretty much right when my CRT died.

Imperishable Night Normal 1cc
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=39593
Yes, it's just normal difficulty, nothing too special, but I focus mainly on EoSD hard and I barely had any time to play so I still take it as an achievement. I should be somewhere else after like 3 or 4 months of playing, but as I said, I don't have a lot of free time.
I was really surprised that I did it though, because my previous runs didn't look any good. Also, it was my second time fighting Kaguya and because I died after a short while on my first try, I saw most of her attacks for the first time.

Yesterday, I played LLS for the first time and managed to unlock the extra stage on my first try. It seems I can experience Gengetsu earlier than I thought.

(http://i.imgur.com/K1ZpARo.png) Kind of was working on Mystic Square Hard scoring (still am.) but then I got annoyed from silly derps the entire time; did the Extra stage at times. Kind of improved score from 1MNB which was 118m to 128, after 137 and then suddenly the 165m I have now. It was quite surprising how frustration can lead to different results when you try something different, this can probably be improved for a bit; I'll give it a look later. For now I think this is satisfactory; I should just focus on Hard MS now.

Gonna go for a LNNN with Marisa for a slightly harder experience. Just doing these for preparation/practice. Glad to get them done in ~7 hours, still remember stuff from the runs I did with Reimu years ago.

Question: what does LNNN stand for? I'm seeing that abbreviation more often on here and I don't know what it stands for-- I'm used to seeing LNMNB or something like that.

Question: what does LNNN stand for? I'm seeing that abbreviation more often on here and I don't know what it stands for-- I'm used to seeing LNMNB or something like that.
LNNN is an abbreviation that can be cut into parts, the "L" stands for "Lunatic" every N indicates "No" to a specific thing, this would go in this order: "No miss" then "No Bombs" and last but not least, a specific third challenge. in Jovial's case this would be "No trance" thus, the abbreviation here would mean: "Lunatic No Miss No Bombs No Trance", LNNN for short!
It must be noted, but usually LNN is used because most games do not have a third challenge, the ones with one are PCB, UFO and TD as far as I'm concerned. with PCB being No Border Breaks, UFO being No UFO summons; TD being No Trance.

Ah, okay, so instead of writing LNMNBNBB or something, it's just shortened LNNN? That makes sense, thanks!

Yes! I have finally done it! My first Hard difficulty 1cc ever! It's been almost 2 months since my first Normal difficulty 1cc but I think it's not too bad, considering my lack of free time.
Done with Marisa B in EoSD:

There are some mistakes, but I am really proud of this run!
Also, I managed to do it just a few minutes before the start of today's ski jumping competition, so I can watch it with a good feeling :D

Personally, I don't understand the LNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN fetishism when there are magnificent score runs that are far more interesting and difficult. Maybe it's that you have to actually read to understand scoring, whereas any kid can understand the simple binary of passing/failing.
-
These challenges are kinda supposed to be practice for score runs (it's going to be a bit demotivating to play for score if you just keep dying/bombing to regular stuff). But people in the west do them and then... just quit Touhou. It's like spending months perfecting combos in a fighting game only to never actually play it against someone.

Because survival runs are their own separate challenge that often require some different approaches than what you'd do in a scoring run? Never mind that we're delving into really subjective territory by saying one or the other is "more interesting".

It's the other way around.

Score strategies build on survival strategies and are usually much more difficult to execute. I frown upon the common forumgoer's delusion that survival play is the ultimate display of mastery.
-
I did it! I..... I just 1cc IN normal lol. Not much of an accomplishment but this is my first time getting a good ending in any touhou games. :getdown:
-

I never said anything about relative difficulty, because I think it's a given that scoring is harder than survival. I was only speaking out against you presenting your preference towards scoring as a standard that everyone has to follow and agree with, which was the overall tone your post had. People are free to play however they want, for whatever reasons they want, so why get all worked up over it?
-
Good job on the achievements guys~

Except no one claimed that survival play is the ultimate display of mastery in this thread.
-
Please please please do not start with the Survival v. Scoring debate, which is just as shit-stirring and pointless as Touhou v. Cave or Shooters v. Fighters.
You're entitled to think one is better than the other; it's bad form to try and make an argument about it.
-
It's not a debate because it's not debatable. It's the way shooters have been since 1978.

Although I solely agree with you on scoreplay being harder overall, I still want to note nobody claimed survival play as better or harder than score play. Both have their difficulties.
As for what you said based on how score plays are build of survival plays with adaptions for scoring, this still greatly differs per game in which you want to use up more resources in one than in the other. Although I do agree that you want to survival consistently with those resources; use them in an exact route, it must be noted that the approach, even if using a survival route, generally tends to still differ. Must be noted that some things are a bit easier to score than to survive as well (I found LLS EX to be easier to score in than to aim for NMNB personally, to give an example.)
As for how survival play tends to be more dominant than score play (which seems like it if I look at the majority of the achievements here; what people tend to aim for in general in other places as well.) I think it generally comes forth from the general idea that survival runs are a bit more simplistic to execute overall (think standard 1ccs here for more simplistic; know that certain survival challenges can at times be harder than scoring in certain games and difficulties in those) as well as that scoring approaches generally aren't known, as far as I know people at some point, if they continue to play, will put some interest in the scoring aspect as well. By for example looking at scoring runs; trying to adapt certain strategies for example.
Mainly saying that scoring usually takes place after a while when the player in question feels confident with the idea of trying it out; thus leading to survival play being more dominant in terms of how runs tend to go, I don't see why this really has to matter either, personally I am fine with people aiming for what they want, whenever they want. As long as they put in their effort, needs to be noted but this thread is also not either survival or score restricted, so people will post about both kinds of achievements.
Also in case I get a reply, if it's gonna be a shitpost I guess that I will not reply.
-
To say it a bit shorter, I think survival challenges are more popular because it's an extension of 1ccs-- that is, limiting dying/bombing, but beyond what's needed to clear. Meanwhile, scoring requires looking at the game in a different mindset, more about optimization rather than capturing or not. Survival techniques also tend to carry over between games, while scoring techniques tend to be more specific to each game.
Anyway, while I do like to promote scoring myself, that's no excuse to dismiss others' survival goals and accomplishments.
Edit: And I do not condone the below post at all.
-
I pretty much totally agree with Karisa. I'm glad to have section mods who know what they're talking about and play the games, it relieves the admins of the liability to play Touhou and gain an understanding of the game themselves. That way they can spend their precious free time moderating more active and aggressive forum sections while we quietly devote ourselves to our art. It makes for a friendly, informative, open forum culture where people feel comfortable to converse. :)
What a coincidence! We too aim for an open forum culture with the comfort of conversing. Except unfunny people, elitism and shitposting disrupts this goal. Including your current post. Please consider this during your time out. --Helepolis

SAVAGE.
*cough* I suggest we should just get back to Touhou accomplishments right about now, since things are getting a little bit spicy here. If this topic is really this hot, I think it should go to a separate thread. I'm no mod or anything, I'm just saying what I think about all this.
...Anyway, I just beat every single Double Spoiler scene, Hatate included. A year of nothing but pure frustration, and it all let up to this. I was honestly hoping ZUN would add a congratulations screen or something along these lines for 100% completion. I'm not mad though, I'm very satisfied and relieved I don't need to torture myself with DS anymore...
...And now, time for Shoot the Bullet...

TD perfect stage 4 with Marisa (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=39711). Probably the hardest of the last 3 stages, a lot of RNG dependent nonspells and there's a section in the stage that is quite difficult (the fast wave of fairies, 3rd wave of enemies after the midboss). Doing stage 3 now. "Desire Score Eater" is the only hard part though that's mainly because it's hard not to time it out. Marisa at 4 power usually has ~6 seconds left but longer if I manage to track Yoshika really well.
-
Managed to 1cc SA Hard with MarisaC; very glad to have achieved this with all characters. Died three times on each of Stages 4, 5 and 6. There were a lot of 50/50 moments that went my way, and a couple of deaths with bombs remaining. Now, if only I could get to Stage 4 on Lunatic without requiring a continue...

Haha, thanks. I have something else in mind with UFO, but I'm not discounting LNBNV!

3.3 billion when? :P
I warmly await for your next achievement.
Also 605m BoSM demo lunatic. Shame I got unlucky and died at the end. :matsuriscowl:
New strats and an incredible stages 1 + 2 pushed me over the edge even if I had a bad stage 3. Especially Shelia's second spell fucking me over because of horrible RNG. =/
Final score is 605,602,150.
I suppose I'll just try to get a no-death 600m+ run, preferably 610m+. That would be nice.
Come the 4-stage demo and the full game I'll be using somewhat less bombs to Shelia so I'll have much less chance of dying, preferably. I also think I have a somewhat decent strategy for Shelia's third spell worked out in my head, now I just need to go out and practice it.

I-I'll do my best. You work hard, too!

Given the recent screenshots, BoSM will probably suffer from the terrible score inflation that RSS did.

Well hey, you've done decently yourself.
And looking at maceknight's twitter, the scores look fairly low...
Care to post a translation of the screenshot posts, anyone?

Haven't spoke up here yet at all, so...
I'm currently on my way to a standard Normal Mode player,
having 1cc'd all cardinal Touhou games from EoSD up to LoLK on Easy and Normal, except SA and UFO Normal.
Also just cleared my first Extra (DDC) after 50+ attempts :getdown:
Regarding BoSM, scoring actually works fairly normal when I Normal-1cc'd the demo with around 300M.
MPP had the biggest score inflation among the fangames (ido/NRT) as far as I know (just saying, don't want to get too off topic).

Replay? I'm curious as to what would get that kind of score on normal.
MPP had the biggest score inflation among the fangames (ido/NRT) as far as I know (just saying, don't want to get too off topic).
Actually the fangame with the most ridiculously inflated scores is Phantasmagoria Trues, with high-scores in the quintillions. (24 digits, compare 11 for tens of billions in MPP). So large it's funny.
Also, found a video on youtube showing a good way to do Tokibo's midboss spell.
So yay, perfect BoSM stage 2 lunatic? :V
First try after the midboss cap... took 6 or 7 attempts overall. Even with the good strategy it's still by far the hardest part of the stage. :P
Replay. (http://www.mediafire.com/download/u2nc5jcctrcema2/Main_replay17.dat)
In regards to scoring though, I'm still going to auto-bomb it. You can cancel it for a good 2k PIV and the extra enemies will more than make up for the point loss.

Attached to this post. I actually always score between 200M and 300M in an average run on Normal Mode, getting the point value up to 35K-ish.

Holy balls, I guess I missed that one. But seeing how the score explodes to 1+billion in stage 1 in MPP is quite insane too.

Here's a replay I did on Normal. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzxwCcsVR5c7WnlZRHA1YldmcXM/view?usp=sharing) 385 million. 70k PIV. Basically, do what I did there, except for failing Shelia's final spellcard because why not.

People here are talking about ridiculously high scores while I'm here proud of a SA 1CC hard :derp:

During my last playthrough of EoSD, I screwed up quite a bit when trying to unlock the extra stage as MarisaB and was going into the Remilia fight with 0 lives and 1 bomb. Nonetheless, I actually ended up almost perfecting her fight (the fear unfortunately got to me at the end). Never give up!

Congratulations buddy, 500m to 600m sounds pretty tough but I'm sure you're dedicated enough to do a good job getting there.
Guess I'll just mention things I've gotten lately, I've gotten an MS Hard 145m Marisa run; a LoLK normal 1.443b Sanae run, kind of all but am working on some other things.
Also I am still working on LoLK's EX for NB, so far I'm kind of using Marisa since she actually does kind of a fine job against Hecatia with the exception of her second purple non, Lunatic Impact and Junko's nons I guess.
I am not sure if Marisa is the better choice here as Reimu has a huge advantage due to her hitbox, but I feel like Marisa actually does a decent job overall due to the DPS; I think that makes kind of a difference too, it is handy that I have a minor route for the stage portion with her; that grazing Hecatia enough for 200 life piece is quite easy.
Needs to be noted, but I am currently doing this in a bossrush patch that hasn't taken away the stage portion but just takes away the bombs (unless we speak of bombs you can get through Doremy, the fairy before Hecatia; Hecatia.) So essentionally nothing is really different except you have about no bombs, my main reason for this is that I don't have Marisa unlocked in the original game I suppose.

It's a lot tougher than I expected, that's for sure...the stage portion is something fierce. Thanks!
Those runs were really solid to watch, and I'm sure you can improve that LoLK Normal PB of yours when you're up to it. Gotta beat Karisa, after all. ;3
Marisa definitely deals the most damage to Hecatia, but I'd still prefer using Reimu, if I were you. That hitbox man.

1cc'ed IN Hard with Yukari solo. Kinda want to put image as a proof here, but I don't know how X(
In Touhou 8+, you can press Home or P to take screenshots (in PCB, only Home will work; not sure if EoSD has a shortcut). They'll show up in the game's folder, in a folder called "snapshot".
They'll be .bmp files, though, which take up a lot of space, so you might want to convert them (to something like .png) before uploading.

SA is pretty badass for the final boss

EoSD 1cc Normal 2 D 4 B, finally captured Red Magic, still getting eye pains from looking at Scarlet Netherworld.(Is this the right name ?) Simple stuff, yet still an improvement.

Captured 2 difficult spell cards this week.
-Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana
I found it very easy and still hard specially the red butterflies. The bubbles bullet only stand to annoy you.
-Recollection "Vague Recollection of Kinkaku-ji"
This was incredibly HARD, specially using Hatate, before taking the last photo i micro-grazed 2 bullets and *Say cheese satori*. I was so happy~!
Then those were not the only 2 good things.
-I won against Hecatia Lapislazuli~ sadly i could only capture the first spellcard, all the other ones were hard(since i was using Reisen), and her Moon Non-spells and spells are incredibly crazy, specially the homing Moons.
-Won against Raiko Horikawa with Sakuya A. It only took me 2 tries and then i managed to win~! Only the last spellcard was annoying and couldn't capture it, but managed to capture the majority of the spellcards.
-
Finally cleared DDC Extra with a non-broken shottype. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzxwCcsVR5c7Z2JHak1ILXJtOWM/view?usp=sharing)
(actually Sakuya A is kind of broken)
edit: and not to mention that I also captured Sixth Drum "Alternate Sticking"
-
What modos would EoSD and PCB be considered ? :V
EoSD and PCB are both a little step over easy modo. like almost to normal modo I'd say.
And it's because of the stage 5 boss for both, god damn time controlling breaks my mind but the stage 6 of both are really easy.
stage 4 of both are notable, though not everyone has trouble with those stage 4.
some say it's the books from EoSD, others say it's the 4th boss of PCB.
From there it's up to you to judge where they class on a difficulty ranking with other games
-
I've only ever 1CCed IN and MoF, although I've heard that IN is technically the easiest in the series...
-
Is that referring to the easiest game on any difficulty, i.e. Easy mode? I'd argue TD is easier than IN. Though you don't get as many lives in TD as in most games in the series (without routing out trances, something newer players likely won't be doing). So it might balance out.
MoF Easy is possibly one of the harder ones to 1cc, since you can't easily bomb through the final spell, so if you can't dodge it at all (and it's among the most difficult Easy spells in the series) it can take a lot of lives.
-
Oh, I've 1CCed them both on Normal, I've just heard that IN is the easier one. I'm planning to 1cc UFO next, because I found that it's pretty easy to gain lives!
-

Just as it is easy to loose them. I wouldn't recommend UFO, it's pretty hard. curvy lasers

To be honest, I don't find Shou as hard(well, when I can actually get to her)- for me, I lose the most lives when I fight Murasa, mainly due to her last spell card. But curvy lasers are always a pain..
If I can also ask, for those guys who've 1cced LoLK, how hard was it? Maybe I'm just too novice, but I've only ever managed to get to Clownpiece on Pointdevice, and even now it's taken at least 100 tries to get past one of her spellcards..
-
[attach=1]
FINALLY!!!1!!1! :getdown:
Shou was actually pretty easy after so many attempts, especially after grinding LoLK Legacy Normal so much.
that vajira spellcard still kicks my ass though
Byakuren was a royal pain to defeat, particularly from her 3rd nonspell onwards (even though I manage to clear Devil's Recitation pretty consistently as of lately).
I actually consider her the toughest final boss in Touhou, even harder than Junko.
Now only SA is left without a Normal 1cc... :X
PS. Dunno why the title of the scoreboard is in Russian though (using thcrap, English/German language).

Yeah, I also think Murasa is harder than Shou. But that does not mean Shou is easy.
LoLK is pain and I still haven't 1cced it despite the time that has passed since it came out. Clownpiece is the most evil thing in the Touhou, and Junko is just unfair.
For what games are good to take on first (IMO, obviously. I'm no expert)
- EoSD is actually quite easy, but you can't see your hitbox and hitboxes are wonky
- PCB is fun and I'd recommend this one next (it was my first game to 1cc AND clear extra)
- SA is suffering, don't attempt unless you're ready
- UFO has high resource gain, but the patterns make it just as easy to loose
- TD has easy patterns, but extremely low resource gain, so there's little room for error
- DDC is like UFO, but patterns are easier and resource gain trickier
- LoLK is evil, I'd save this one for last
I think PCB and EoSD should be your focus now, then TD and DDC, then UFO and SA, and finally LoLK. Anyway, good luck and have fun!

I'd say that stage 5 (both stage portion and Clownpiece) is actually the hardest part in the main game. Clownpiece is really hard indeed, I've grinded her first spell for like 75+ attempts (Pointdevice Normal) and finally got past it. The rest of her fight is also really exhilarating, but not as hard as her first spell.
Stage 6 gives you a good breather before facing Junko, albeit there's a really tricky survival part which is a gloriously huge streaming pattern.
I'd recommend you to stockpile bombs to defeat Clownpiece and save some for that hard part of stage 6. :V
Junko isn't actually too hard, if you don't mind micrododging. more curvy lasers incoming
-
Now only SA is left without a Normal 1cc... :X
Go pro or go home, for your last game to 1CC you should try on hard mode! >:D
but to be honest, for me the jump from normal to hard was only getting to manage my bombs properly.
i.e: not dieing with 6 bombs left
+if you jump to hard mode from SA, in games like IN, LLS, MS and TD you will get a jump start since you started out rough

i.e: not dieing with 6 bombs left
+if you jump to hard mode from SA, in games like IN, LLS, MS and TD you will get a jump start since you started out rough
Dayum, I actually already unintentionally 1cc'd DDC on Hard, while in SA Normal I'm already getting rekt in stage 4...
The part between the midboss and boss in stage 3 where Yuugi just stays onscreen takes most of my lives and then Satori delivers the final blow. :V
Can barely get to stage 3 on Hard...
have yet to work out a proper strategy of managing resources since I'm being too much of a freak for stockpiling lives and finally do some proper dodging (DDC Hard was a complete bombspam disaster post stage 4).
Well, SA Normal 1cc is still my next goal before taking on all the Extra's and then the Hard 1cc's (for real) BV
-
Yuugi's stage is actually pretty easy. The lasers are static and Yuugi's balls aimed toward you. Satori also has a blaring hole on her nonspells which could make the entire boss fight easier if you know how to deal with them. Orin is where hell breaks loose (lol)
Anyway, IN Hard 1cc with Yukari, this time with only 3 lives. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=39786) It was intense...
Oh yeah, I wouldn't mind if anyone want to give advice on how to develop my future runs
-
Yeah, I also think Murasa is harder than Shou. But that does not mean Shou is easy.
LoLK is pain and I still haven't 1cced it despite the time that has passed since it came out. Clownpiece is the most evil thing in the Touhou, and Junko is just unfair.
For what games are good to take on first (IMO, obviously. I'm no expert)
- EoSD is actually quite easy, but you can't see your hitbox and hitboxes are wonky
- PCB is fun and I'd recommend this one next (it was my first game to 1cc AND clear extra)
- SA is suffering, don't attempt unless you're ready
- UFO has high resource gain, but the patterns make it just as easy to loose
- TD has easy patterns, but extremely low resource gain, so there's little room for error
- DDC is like UFO, but patterns are easier and resource gain trickier
- LoLK is evil, I'd save this one for last
I think PCB and EoSD should be your focus now, then TD and DDC, then UFO and SA, and finally LoLK. Anyway, good luck and have fun!
Thanks a ton for the advice! You too, Jimmy! I'll probably stick with PCB, since Youmu is on of my favorite characters.

UFO Lunatic Stage 6 NMNB with SanaeB (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGrwvce_voo)
wew
-
YES! First Extra Clear on EoSD Reimu B, sure i fucked up on Maze of Love because i stood too close and lost 2 lives because of that, but i did it !!!!
I feel great ! Took about a month to get it, but worth.
-
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cd6Y_XYVAAA_cTd.jpg) Kind of a silly 1.050b run in easy mode with Reisen, I think I'll upload this and improve this in the future. For now I should probably aim for the current goals I have, I have no clue what to do afterwards, maybe get an MS LNB already?
replay (http://threplays.appspot.com/replay_files/5707324073181184)
Also I was very confused when I thought I was at the last page but was at page one and saw people's achievement lists. I guess that I should pay more attention.
-
I've been off of the Touhou scene (very little of it) for the last two or so years but I was fiddling through various game directories when I remembered I have that 9 stage Imperishable Night patch. So being the rusty brilliant person that I am (I didn't particularly master or play IN too often but I'm between Hard/Lunatic skill level in IN). While doing the 9 stage gauntlet I seemingly forgot to include the extra stage as stage 9. After I beat Kaguya with two bombs and two lives left I was letting my guard down thinking I was done... that is until the extra stage started and I was slightly panicking because I thought I was done for some reason (and consequently ran into a delayed red bullet trail a group of fairies left, a mistake I never make).
For someone who hasn't played IN at all for a couple of years I cleared a lot more patterns than I thought I would (I was the Youmu/Yuyuko team). Ended up clearing the extra stage and finishing the 9 stage gauntlet with 1 life and 1 bomb (so glad I got the fairy at the end to drop a life). Think I got all last spells to trigger but I only cleared maybe half of them (and Reimu's somehow).
Intense stuff. I also forgot to mention I did it on Hard difficulty.
-
Tried to beat IN on Easy but got a bad ending.
-
Finally made it to remilia in EoSD on normal. Now the challenge of actually learning her spell cards and a 1cc no bomb run will be with in reach!
-
Moved up a rung on the Touhou achievement ladder with my first Extra clear :D And I'm still shaking because I can hardly believe I actually did it.

I 1cc'd my first game, IN
I dropped 97% of my frames cause my computer is shite but still
-
Here's my advice: if you have 3 lives left on hardmode, play lunatic
Isn't exactly the advice I was looking for...
But okay.
-
Finally captured Killing Doll when I needed to, so I perfected Stage 5 EoSD on Lunatic :)
-
I was bored and kinda thought about comparing the difficultiy levels of DDC and LoLK and chose Easy Mode, because that's still the only mode I can consistently clear :V
Managed to perfect DDC Easy, while on LoLK PD Easy I suffered three retries. Thanks Clownpiece.
On a sidenote: Finally got to Orin in SA Normal. She's a pain, I think her nonspells are pretty much on par with Clownpiece's, her spells also aren't much easier for me.
Entered stage 5 with six lives, game-overed on Orin's final. :colonveeplusalpha:
-
I finally accomplished my 1cc as ReimuB in EoSD today. Up until Patchouli was a no-death run as well.

I was practicing SA yesterday, and learned that during Subterranean Sun, you can go up to Utsuho and not get hit.

I'm... pretty positive that you can't?

I was practicing SA yesterday, and learned that during Subterranean Sun, you can go up to Utsuho and not get hit.
I tried on hard, normal and easy. In version 1.00a you can't.
Though I found a bug while doing this. It's pretty weird too!
If you 1CCd the game on normal or hard, and then 1CC the game on easy afterwards, the extra stage becomes unavailable again, as if you never 1CCd on normal or hard. (I can't confirm anything related to lunatic since i cant git gud)
-
Nice ! What do you want to do next first ? Reimu A 1cc or Extra Stage ?
ReimuA was actually my first 1cc. I just decided to unlock ReimuB because I thought it would be easier to use against Flandre (it is, by the way). Speaking of which, I learned how to deal with "Maze of Love" and almost captured "And Then There Will Be None". I think I can clear this stage today.
-
Well. Aside from the failure of my ISC data getting wiped. I did have some accomplishments
But, I managed to get to Byakuren's stage on UFO before being totally annihilated. I was so close to a 1CC with Reimu. :(
-
YES YES YES! I have finally done it! I've cleared the EoSD Extra stage! My first Extra stage clear ever! Took me way longer than I expected and I was already super close a week ago, but I am still very happy!
Done with Marisa A. Replay:
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=39839
EDIT: Also, I kept getting mini-lags through the game that made it even harder for me, so I was really surprised that I did it.
Next, I shall try playing Lunatic.

Took a 20 min break from ReimuB scoring to unlock stage practice for MariB. Was going for a 1cc when this happened.
(http://i.imgur.com/XjwuSH2.png)
MariB LNB! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=39838)
7 miss, 23/26 spells capped. Death to books, lazer books, Water Elf, section after Misdirection, Sakuya's last nonspell, VI, and Meister.
First time using MariB on lunatic, this run was pretty much full of luck.
Good rng on Megalith, Killing doll, and Gensokyo, only one death to Meister, and lots of lucky dodges on stage 3. I doubt this will ever happen again.

Look out for that, lunatic is on a whole other level.
For example, I got a couple extra clears, yet I can't believe to attempt lunatic yet.
Try hard first, just as a tip. c;

1cc'd EoSD stage 1 on Hard during practice mode. Yaaay

I have already done a Hard 1cc. I found the Extra stage much harder for some reason.
Also, I already got to Sakuya in Stage 6 without using a continue, so I believe I can do a Lunatic 1cc after some practice.

Kind of practiced a bit for an IN EX NB yesterday, got that too. Also did get a TD EX NB with trance allowed earlier on the day, but haven't gotten that run up yet. I do have the IN EX NB run up here though: Video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KC9sTWUOLKU)
-
Managed to reach 2 billion in IN Hard, using the Border Team. It doesn't sound like much ... but my next best run is 1.5B. Still had my fair share of cringe-worthy moments (mucking up Kaguya's first Last Spell and Marisa's Double Spark are particularly egregious errors), but I'm pleased.

Yay, 1cc Normal PCB Reimu B, 6 Misses, 14 Bombs tho :V (Went blind on Yuyuko)
Still happy with it, since i didn`t even train more than 2 day on PCB before attempting this. Now i need to learn how to mofumofu that shikigami`s taildeal with a nine-tailed shikigami.

Dodged Orin's opener in SA on Practice Mode today. It's really awesome.
-
I 1CCd UFO Lunatic!!!!! I practiced and practiced and practiced with the homing types... then finally got it when I was horsing around trying out other shot types. I'm still really proud of myself. All that's left for me to L1CC are EoSD and SoEW... but I'm not fond of either of those games, so I'm not feeling to pressed about it. I'm super happy though :D

+ 1 Confidence !
Just got PCB Extra cleared today ! 6 Misses and 12 Bombs, cause i screwed up both Stage Route and some spellcards. But that doesn`t really matter right now ! ^^ Now to Phantasm !
.... what do you mean i need to capture 60 unique spells ?!?!
(https://www.shrinemaiden.org/images/avatars/avatar_1_1451828270.png)
Just borrowing this from Helvetica, it`s it ok ? If not i`ll just remove it.
-
60 spells shouldn't be that hard-- going through Easy and Normal stage practice, capturing everything you can, should reach around 50-56 captures (there are 28 spells each on Easy and Normal). You can get the rest from the easier Extra or Hard spells. At least that's what I recall doing.
If you don't mind playing stage 4's long stage portion over and over, you can get a few more spells from the Prismrivers by damaging each one the most during their first group spell. The character-dependent solo part doesn't have any spells, so you can stay with your preferred shot type.
Keep in mind that PCB doesn't save spell records unless you finish the run (clear the game, or game over and not continue/run out of continues), not if you Esc-R or Esc-Q.
-
I'm currently working on EoSD Lunatic, and I just got my first 2CC. 13 deaths, 20 used bombs.
Despite playing Touhou on and off, I think I can get a 1CC pretty soon.

21/26 spells captured, only missing Kogasa's second, Murasa's third, Shou's third, Byakuren's second, and Byakuren's final. Considering MariA is obnoxious to use, I'm quite satisfied.

You can directly screenshot with the Home key, and the image goes to the snapshot folder in the game folder. It's in .bmp, so it'd be better to convert to .jpg or .png before posting it. iirc DS+ games also take screenshots with the P key
Although I usually just use the printscreen key and paste it in Paint.

Home works in PCB onward, P works in IN onward. I don't think EoSD has a built-in shortcut.
As for PC-98 emulation, Anex86 can take a screenshot (alt+F1? I forgot). Not sure what it'd be in the other emulators.

I 1cc'd PoDD on Easy today as Rikako Asakura.

Got as far as Kanako's last nonspell. I genuinely feel I can get a Hard 1cc soon :)

1cc'd PoDD again on Easy, as Marisa.

For NP2, go Other -> BMP save. If using recent versions of fmgen, you can set a keyboard shortcut:
* Keyboard shortcuts: Replace the zeroes in the Function=... with relevant codes (see Function.txt for details). For example, to set Home (0x24) as a shortcut for a screenshot (IDM_BMPSAVE, 40701, 0x9efd) replace a group of 00 00 00 00 with 00 24 fd 9e.

Have cleared 34 with this Stage 6 Practice Run (Mustered the courage to learn Youmu`s Spellcard and Captured Yuyuko`s Second Spellcard.)
Easy will give me 24 more cards to capture right ? So i`ll have to do some more Prismriver runs and try to capture some more Extra Cards.

Wow, DDC is pretty easy.
I felt like adding another hard 1CC to my completed list, and I did so on the first try (~though I had no bombs or lives left :derp: )

I just beat DDC on Hard Mode for the first time!!
I'm so glad I don't need to touch this stupid game for a while now! (I'm going to attempt Lunatic when I defeat UFO and LoLK on Hard. [probably in half a year])
My score is 489k, not sure if it's a big score or not.
EDIT: I meant 1CC. I was very tired when I wrote this.
-
Haven't achieved much but I've 1cced most Touhou games on easy I guess.
I'm working on LoLK scoring too, haven't really bothered recently though.

I think a lot of people think their own skill is nothing special. Even some of the top players do. I'm not sure if anyone can be good at judging themselves on that. Though it can be fun to pick a player who's slightly better than you, and aim to match/surpass them.
Also, welcome to MinakoHouraisan and Glaceon Mage. Nice to see registration's finally been fixed. I was getting worried how many potential new members might not be joining...
-
Hi pals.
Just a few days before joining I managed to finally get my first UFO Lunatic 1cc so I am pretty proud of myself :)
Now all I have to do left is PCB and EoSD but I'm not rushing on those because I'm not the biggest fan of playing them.
-
I think a lot of people think their own skill is nothing special. Even some of the top players do. I'm not sure if anyone can be good at judging themselves on that.
I think this is true for people not at the top, to be honest. I don't see Chum, Cactu or Zil ever downplaying their abilities. There are cases where they say things like "I'm bad at micro tapping" or something like that, which is completely different. I know for a fact that Chum knows he's very good, and Zil is about as good.
It does seem to be entirely true for players of other (lower) skill levels. But the fact that both Nameschonvergeben (whom I from now all call Benben here) and Glaceon Mage think they're average when they're both vastly different in skill level can probably be attributed to the fact that they're surrounded by people of just about every level possible. At the top you have people like the aforementioned three and at the bottom you have people who can't 1cc easy mode for their life. In some cases, you even have people here following the Japanese top (E.g Yu-suke, Gobou, KG etc.) so your perception of your own abilities gets skewed even further. That is at least definitely the case for Benben. He follows Japanese players all better than him and is surrounded by better players in both IRC and on Skype. To my knowledge, Glaceon Mage on the other hand is only in Skype so she's missing players but still sees how many people are better than her. The total pool upwards is bigger for Benben but downwards it's the same/smaller. It is not strange for him to think he's average then, generally speaking.
But of course, maybe I'm reading too much into it. w
Though it can be fun to pick a player who's slightly better than you, and aim to match/surpass them.
That's definitely true. I think you can even choose to pick a much stronger player than yourself, assuming you have the base for it or if that better players' run is quite old or something like that. It can be, after all, be somewhat difficult to find a player slightly better than yourself for every category you play. Just be careful not to get overwhelmed by picking someone much better and you're golden.

Wow, great job! UFO is, in my opinion, the hardest game to 1CC on Lunatic, aside from LoLK.
Now, if I were to objectively judge my skill level, I'm just SLIGHTLY above average. And that's embarrassing as hell, since I've played Touhou for over 6 years by now, and some people manage to 1CC Lunatic in their first year.
I guess it's just that I'm very prone to ragequitting.

Thank you!
And don't feel embarrassed, I'm going into my 7th year of play now, and I only started getting consistent Lunatic 1cc's in any game no more than 6 months ago. Just keep going at your own pace and you will be fine :)
Also make sure to enjoy the game while you play it, because otherwise it's just frustrating all round.
-
I mainly think of myself as being average because I'm mostly a Normal/Extra mode player, for what it's worth.
If I was a mostly Hard I'd probably think of myself as slightly above average, Even further above for Lunatic etc., While playing and 1cc'ing mostly easy and trying Normal would be slightly below average and being unable to 1cc most easys would be very below average.
At least that's how I think of it.

Thanks! I specified full spell because many people choose not to capture Yoshika's final spell. Sometimes, people are also unable to capture Miko's penultimate because they get pushed away (most of the time they don't try to go back into the middle as it would be too risky especially if Miko's lasers forbid them from doing so). In each case it would just be LNNN without FS. Not that it matters too much either way though. The runs are still virtually the same.
However, I'm OCD so it would have bothered me a lot if I didn't go for Yoshika's final spell.

Also, a belated thanks to everyone else who had congratulated me. And a good job for everyone else who posted their achievements~

Zil is about as good.
allow me to correct your mistakes
-
First ever Lunatic 1cc, albeit on IN Final A. Still much blundering (e.g. Stage 4 was pretty abysmal; failed the opening fairy on Stages 5 and 6), but also some lucky moments (capturing Keine's last, and having a perfect Reisen fight). In the end, it came down to Eirin's last spellcard with two bombs remaining. I clip a bullet with about half of Eirin's health remaining. The conclusion ends up being a case of 'saved by the bell' - I removed all of Eirin's health, then get hit by a bullet just after the invincibility period starts.

First UFO Lunatic NB clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=40322)
Died 11 times, still cleared with 2 lives left. Eh, I'll take it, considering it's just a random attempt while taking a break from perfecting the stages.
-
Before I post my particular accomplishment, I want to congratulate everyone on their own accomplishments across the 32 pages of this thread that I probably won't have time to look at.
Taking up the better portion of my weekend, I was able to get a UFO Lunatic 1CC with SanaeA. (https://youtu.be/pWoFtegqsnM)
At many times during the run, I wanted to switch to the superior SanaeB shot, but I forced myself to use a more difficult shot. While not the most graceful clear, I got to hear the lovely credits music - and that's the important part.

Congrats on your runs everyone! (Marisa was my first TD Normal 1cc too, lol.)
I 1cc'd IN Lunatic on both FinalA (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=40333) and FinalB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=40334)! I was very happy and surprised when I captured Hourai Elixir.
-
I 1ccd EoSD Lunatic with Marisa B.
And with that, I've now cleared all the bullet hells in the series (including PC98 and all the Len'en games) on the highest difficulty.
I'm really proud of myself.
-
Not sure where to post this, but it was so funny that I have to post it somewhere.
Decided to play a credit of PCB, which I haven't touched for months, and made it all the way to Yuyuko, so I guess that part is an achievement. Then I decided to continue so I could play the rest of the spells just for fun. By Resurrection Butterly I was down to my last life again. With 2 seconds left, I glanced up at the next wave, realised it wasn't going to reach me in that time, did a swoop to grab some point items, and ran slap into one of the lasers. Only then did I notice I had just gotten an extra life from 50 items after using the continue.

NMNBNUFO runs of stage 3 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=40356), 4 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=40355), 5 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=40353) and 6 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=40354).
ReimuA is godly. She made these a lot more doable.
-
Got an SoEW Extra Stage NMNB while playing today with ReimuC, was one of my older goals but I am glad I am done with that now. (Although granted, it took about 2 hours of playing today; that is including practice too.)

Managed to get an MS LNB with Mima on a random credit I did today, I remember I tried this a good while ago and now I basically got it almost right away (granted, restarts due to derps happen too. Although this could've been restarted, so I guess I made a good decission not to.)
Video (https://youtu.be/bXYLT5_0fhg) pictures (https://twitter.com/Zigzagwolf/status/735495767788560384) Guess I'll work more on MarisaB SA LNB now, since I want to get that as an LNB too.
Edited this post to add my video + to add other links for pictures, apparently Screencloud pictures aren't stable. Should've guessed after a month atleast.

682m run of BoSM stage 3 stage practice.
677.9m run of BoSM stage 4 lunatic stage practice. Sorta getting back into the swing of things, let's start with improvements on the 2 final stages of the demo.
I'm particularly happy with my 100m improvement on my previous stage 4 personal best.

How is your full run score?? I still haven't played it much more since my 7bil run but cos I'm terrible at Ichiyou I doubt i can do well with full game scoring. I'm happy to collaborate some ideas with you though!!

... 5.9b. I haven't really done many full runs since then, and that was back when the demo first came out, before I routed stage 4. I'd like to get a run with a decent stage 4 + timing out stage 1 last spell first :P
I use ReimuA, you use MarisaB. -shrug-
So they're pretty different overall, I think.
My 677.9m run had a rocky start, actually. Had some mistakes very early, didn't really impact the score though. I also bombed Ichiyou's first nonspell twice, less because I had to (I can fairly consistently 1-bomb it), but more because I was sick of dealing with it. :V
-
Oh ;P thats a shame I guess. Marisa B seems to have more scoring potential I think, and Sanae A has decent potential maybe too, but I'm hesitant on using A types cos of the less favourable first stage mid and boss patterns. I am still interested in seeing what you can do though! I always struggled with using Reimu A for score.

Thanks. You've done pretty well yourself!

Ah, thank you too :)
Anyway, this isn't an accomplishment per se, but I did find a way to make SA Extra more bullshit than the Ultra patch (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKKEW0Pp3iI). It's honestly hilarious but also impossible. But thats okay I like my absurdly difficult things :)
-
Dit a no shooting Mugetsu and Gengetsu clear a few days ago, kind of felt like doing that because I wanted to see what it was like. LLS EX Mugetsu and Gengetsu No shooting (https://youtu.be/t7YbefOmEvQ)
-
Honestly sorry for doubleposting, I saw I did this earlier too.
A few days ago I got another LLS EX NMNB run, this time with MarisaB and scoring 66m. I only need to NMNB the extra stage with Reimu to've NMNB'd it with all shottypes, so I think I'll do that soon.
I have had a few struggles, but I managed to get the video up after it kept failing to render and even froze when I had it uploaded the first time, but luckily it works well now. MarisaB Lotus Land Story Extra Stage NMNB 66M (https://youtu.be/LQb9aF7tVZQ)

Followup to this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bt2VkmI_iSk&feature=youtu.be), the rest of the stages are on the channel already.
Considering this an accomplishment cos I finally followed through with uploading a Youtube series for once :P
Oh yeah and I very nearly had an EoSD Lunatic 1cc and judging by how I did after the continue had I not had a stupid death on Perfect Freeze I would have cleared it.
-
Cleared Extra a second time -- and this time with only 2 deaths in the run, including my first capture of Red Frog :)
-
Got my first easy 1cc.
-
Managed to 1cc IN Lunatic twice: FinalA with Remilia/Sakuya, and FinalB with Reimu/Yukari. Both end up being 0/0 clears with their lucky and cringeworthy moments - capturing "Omoikane's Brain" in the FinalA, and the dodging in "Buddhist Diamond" and "Hourai Jewel" in the FinalB.
It was the first time I had attempted the Lunatic Stage 6B, so I'm pretty happy with the outcome. I guess I'm forming a habit of having really dramatic runs, even if they aren't the best demonstration of skill :V.

Did a perfect (thus no miss no bombs) Extra Stage clear of Mystic Square a few days ago, with this done I've officially NMNB'd all the pc-98 EX's atleast once! (Thrice for LLS, with 3 shottypes v:) MS EX Perfect (NMNB) (https://youtu.be/PKJtLmaJPR4)
-
Did a run of SA Lunatic to try and unlock Stage 4 for SA boss rush. I expected to game over repeatedly on Stage 4, but was pleased to find that I actually got to Orin on my first try! Never thought I'd pull that off so well, so a 1cc looks doable!
EDIT: Also, beat Satori in SA Boss Rush on Lunatic! Some of the most fun I've had in Touhou in a while, but one of my fingers is numb now :V
-
Improved my Normal run to 3 deaths, 800m. Could perhaps have been even fewer, but it was the first credit of the day and I was in shock when I beat Aya with no deaths or failed spells thus far, so I was all nerves from that point on. Deaths were (1) Stage 6 death fairy, rammed a bullet while attempting to deathbomb; (2) Unremembered Crop; (3) hit the last remaining bullet in the fadeout after winning the game.
I've come so far since I first picked up this game just over a year ago :)
-
I almost beat normal mode after 3 continues but it was too hard for me. :/
-
Took me a few tries, but I got 7.1 billion on the BoSM trial. Yay me. :D
Scoring in this game is going to be interesting when it comes out...still debating on if I should turn it into a Youtube video, though.

I finally did it! Normal clear with 3 continues! :D I thought Remilia was going to kill my last life again but I pressed bomb just in time!

Nice ! I also need to get working on PCB Phantasm again soon.
Also that was probably just a simple joke, but keep in mind it isn't perfect, and never will be, remember that perfection always changes, so keep doing your best, you can always improve more !

The 'literally purrfect' was a joke, haha. And yep, improvements are great! Good luck with Phantasm.

Thanks ! Good luck with your runs too, i still have much more of a long way to go.
-
But the whole point of playing touhou is to do perfect by not using any bombs or getting hit. You're a superplayer now zm! Now that you're done with touhou what are you going to play next?
-
idk fam
gotta get paid
gotta drink lemonade in the shade
Thanks ! Good luck with your runs too, i still have much more of a long way to go.
Pretty sure you'll reach any goal you have in a reasonable amount of time if you play as much as you can. :3

TD Lunnytic 1cc! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=40570) :)
It didn't take particularly long to get once I started actually going for it seriously (instead of dallying around with other stuff), which is nice.
A rather silly run overall, but I'm happy with it.
Had my best run up until Seiga ever - a no miss run up until that point, with some lucky dodges at Yoshika and midboss Seiga. I am cursed, it seems, with bad Seiga fights in runs. This one wasn't hyper terrible (though I'm salty about failing Tao Taidou at the last second), luckily. I entered stage 5 with low power, but due to having it well routed everything went fine until Futo.
Where I proceeded to clip on her first nonspell then get myself walled by bad RNG on Sake Dishes. I managed to get enough spirits to trance the third card so the bomb to Sake Dishes didn't matter in the end, but I'm still salty about it and especially that clip death. Thank god it didn't cost me. It would've been a very good stage 5 if not for that death, instead it was a bad one.
Stage 6 went better than I had ever hoped for in a full run. Entered Miko 3/2, I still failed a lot of stuff out of nerves (such as second spell and spin spin spell because I've died to that like an idiot way to many times), but I had good runs of the first two attacks, captured Guze Flash, didn't do super terribly to the last two attacks and conserved my resources well. I was just expecting complete and total failure to Miko in my 1cc run. I'm bad at Miko, deal with it :V
Cleared 1/0, with 456,138,120 score.
(Also grats to ZM for dat perfect)

Kind of had no internet for more than a week since my wifi has a date attached to it, it is extended now, although the in the time I had no internet I did play Mystic Square for a bit.
I did a few runs in an hour of time in normal mode with Mima and I did get a 125m run rather fast, still working on getting that run uploaded, maybe I'll add some annotations. I'm kind of surprised how solid the run is for the duration I had to get used to normal, there were a few mistakes here and there; Yuki dying so fast was just saddening but other than that most things went really well. I might want to improve it sometime but for now I'm glad with that run.
(http://i.imgur.com/UuWtPwy.png) (http://i.imgur.com/j3Qwf6K.png)
I also did an easy run yesterday after a bit of practice, Easy is still foreign to me but I'm surprised that I got 73m in my first clear of easy even though I had 6 misses.. I'll work on improving my score in easy for a bit.
Also another thing to note is that I'm surprised how a few things that work on normal and above are seemingly either impossible or too dangerous to do on Easy, like the stage 5 midboss graze not being possible on easy (the one with the blue kunai waves) and Shinki's luckgraze actually becoming a luckgraze on easy... I'm wondering what the best is for that, try it and be cautious thus using bombs if you feel like it goes wrong? Or just leave it to be.. I'm not really sure what the best approach is, but I'm guessing being cautious and using bombs is the best that can be done since iirc you can get max dream value after the second pattern and the point items add up to the endbonus along with the graze.. So I guess it is kind of important.

In contrast, grazing Yumeko's aimed knives is more feasible on Easy. Or are you doing that on Normal too already?
As for Shinki, bombing's an interesting idea, but can you see when it'll kill you early enough to bomb? I don't recall it being necessarily obvious. Also keep in mind you're giving up 250k (500k*0.5) from the clear bonus by using one or more bombs. Anyway, what about the strategy of not risking the luckgraze, and stalling out all the other patterns' invisible timers for graze? I wonder how much that's worth-- might not be enough for 999 on Easy.
The luckgraze and the invisible timers kind of discouraged me from MS scoring after reaching the scores where graze makes a significant impact (after survival and point item collection are sufficiently optimized).

Thank you, I am pretty glad with that run but I might want to improve the 125m run in the future too, I am certain that 130m+ is possible and I do believe I am capable of getting it, but am more interested in figuring out Easy as of now.
There is literally no point in grazing the aimed (arrowheads I think? They seem to be, kunai in the second one I guess.) in Normal mode, in Easy mode there is for the first phase, you can still do the third pattern graze that I generally use in both Easy and Normal which would end up giving you about 400 graze if you do that for 6 phases I think (along with the green lasers being grazed.) There is also the semifinal graze in Easy that can be done rather close to Yumeko for a few waves, makes getting max graze kind of simple in Easy. Trying to graze the arrowheads in Normal seems way too risky and is just not worth it, since getting max graze in normal is really easy too given you do a few midboss grazes and the third pattern grazes (you can probably still abuse Yumeko's semifinal a little bit, but not as good as you can do in Easy mode because it's faster and tighter.) It is simply an unwarranted risk given you'd get 999 graze with simpler grazes regardless, the graze I found on the third pattern really makes stage 5 grazing much easier and much more feasible. Granted, my estimation of the grazing spot in my normal run got me killed the second wave I grazed this (I wasn't close enough to Yumeko, you kind of want to have Mima's head on her dress I guess, to give a good example of what should be save.) On another note, that is definitely true that I do give up 250,000k per bomb, iirc NM and NB bonus was an additional 100k score too, but iirc graze and point items were used as a multiplier together for the stage clear bonus? So I think graze is actually really important too, of course it is a matter of taking a guess (I think that atleast using 1 bomb is still fine, I did have a miss or two against the luckgraze in my Easy run.. Which is arguably worse. I'm still enormously surprised that 73m is even possible with 6 misses, even moreso since one of the misses was against the stage 5 midboss and I could not regain max dream bonus during the spam so I lost out on a ton of score there.)
Rather large elaboration on stage 5 grazing there, I feel like only the second pattern graze (thus the arrowheads) are notably scary to graze given the aimed swords.
As for stage 6, 250,000k score less might still be a pretty friendly loss to consider in contrast to what max graze would give you in the end bonus, you'd still collect point items afterwards; can still get max dream bonus, it is definitely risky as you'd have to estimate when things are going to be wrong; you've gotten to bomb. It is kind of sad that Easy mode luckgraze is literally a luckgraze, takes away the joy of grazing that pattern and makes that an intensive end to a run to do.
As far as I see the Luckgraze should be able to give enough graze regardless, but I cannot say how much it would give with bombs included, you do not really get a lot of graze from other patterns (I think about 150 graze at most if you try to graze other things too.) Making finishing it off 1 wave before the last one possibly feasible on easy, I know that if you missed two waves on normal you basically just will not get to finish the pattern off before you get 999 graze, on the other hand, you will get close to that on the final wave, so the best is to time finishing it off around exactly then and grazing the last bits in the other patterns. There is a risky graze of the petal-like opener of Shinki I found; you can graze both the danmaku circles that spawn before both Yumeko and Shinki by being close to the point of spawning; then rushing back. Should give a little bit of graze to start out with too.
I do know however that Yuki and Mai grazes on easy will not get you to 999 graze before the fight ends, consider it logical to finish off Mai at 750 graze (mainly saying this because I think that is around the end, I had around 840 graze in my run but 750 graze should be enough since I think Yuki final pattern grazes will get you max graze if you also graze her opener a bit.) timers really are an estimation issue, iirc Shinki's luckgraze is about 7 waves but I could be off there.
The reason I'd argue Yuki is better to do on Easy is because it is easier to get 999 graze against her than Mai, I think you still miss around 5 point items from the fight; the bullet clears might be a little less, I am not entirely sure of that yet so consider this to be doubtable.
I remember when I was stubborn enough to sign up in the DRC for MS Hard scoring because I was somewhat saddened by the result booked by someone else in that category a round before (invested no time in grazing, didn't really get a run finished either even though that person boasted he'd score "really high") I was somewhat experienced with MS Hard before, but hadn't learned the grazes yet or had optimal survival, I just thought that if I invested as much time as possible (I believe I played around 60 to 70 hours+) I could atleast get about 135m, I ended up getting 140m with Mima but barely before the ending of the DRC, I was already glad with that. I guess that is what got me the motivation to play MS in a manner that I don't feel too dissatisfied with silly things happening. (I had a lot of trouble learning Louise's first pattern graze for example, but once I understood it I became somewhat consistent at it, my guess is that I get it right about 65% of the attempts that get there, most restart after silliness trying to graze the midboss or Sara in stage 1.)
I was not trying to bash that person, but Mystic Square is a game I personally do like quite a bit and it just happened to sadden me a bit to see that being underplayed so I just wanted to see if I could do something, I'm willing to attempt scoring LLS's maingame at some point too. (I've already gotten stage 1 and 2 correctly as far as practice is concerned, I am more or less just busy with MS right now.)
Also it is kind of funny how I submitted more scores for this game to the MoTK scoreboard than on the Eientei scoreboard I do moderate for MS (I moderate 5 boards, LLS, MS, EoSD, IN and MoF.) I should kind of add them to that board already.
Yes, I am totally aware this post ended up losing the sight of the trees in the forest thanks to how huge this became, guess I just felt like elaborating all of this.
Edit: I just noticed I wrote my thank you in the quote, quite silly.

On another note, that is definitely true that I do give up 250,000k per bomb
250m?? That should be 250k for using at least one bomb on stage 6 (125k for bombing on stage 4), not including the penalty to the dream bonus, which is minor on Easy as long as you can keep collecting items at 51200. http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Mystic_Square/Gameplay#Clear_Bonus
Grazing the stage 5 midboss? Doesn't that mean you give up a lot of stage portion point items (and your chance at the 600 extend)? I'd assume the midboss should be speedkilled (wait for one good cancel). Or do you mean just grazing one wave of the midboss is enough?
The reason I'd argue Yuki is better to do on Easy is because it is easier to get 999 graze against her than Mai, I think you still miss around 5 point items from the fight; the bullet clears might be a little less, I am not entirely sure of that yet so consider this to be doubtable.
Pretty sure Mai's bullet cancel is much larger than Yuki's on all difficulties-- Mai fills the screen with kunai reflecting off the wall (checking my old 77.9m video, 1.5m displayed bullet cancel; actual bonus is always higher than displayed due to the static boss phase bonus and the cleared bullets themselves), while Yuki's bullets are too fast/too few to give much bonus.

May I ask where I said 250m? My guess is that because I wrote 250,000k instead of 250k you assumed I meant 250m but that was me being sleepy, lately I've been sleepy a lot and I can thank that for many silly mistakes here and there. I was speaking of 250k
I was speaking of the value 5 items are when you have max dream bonus at the moment of collection; not in the stage bonus, since you won't have max dream bonus that basically ends up being a bit less, not exactly 250k as I wanted to mention I guess.
I am not sure of the 600 point items extend, but I guess so? I already mentioned I do not do that for easy anymore (not like it was possible on easy.) I was speaking of the blue kunai safespot, I do that on normal and hard; it helps a bit with getting max graze for stage 5 there, I don't think I would've gotten 600 point items on either difficulty (granted, due to the Yumeko grazes you can just keep shooting while doing this graze, that won't really cost you any time for the spam section afterwards either, just helps to get a bit of graze faster.) Unless you of course were thinking I was speaking of trying to get near timing the midboss out? I don't think that would be really wise to do, I did wait a little with finishing the midboss off for a better bullet clear but in all honesty it was the first time getting to stage 5 in that run, so I'm not sure wether I got an optimal bullet clear (1.9m) but I did get another wave I grazed. In the end I kind of decided to take it easier and graze Yumeko's third pattern less due to the silly death, my thought process was that I wouldn't be able to tolerate another death (Pretty strict for a first full scoring run of normal mode? I just felt like I was really doing good and was hoping for 110m+ I suppose.) As for Easy, once again, this is worthless to do. Considering trying to graze the midboss's blue Kunai pattern outright kills you when you try to graze it on Easy.
Also I am pretty sure 2-3 waves can be grazed if you keep shooting the midboss, so 1 wave would be rather low and maybe a bit too safe? (only 3 is you do wait one wave for a bullet clear on the green laser spam.)
I was already thinking that, but I was contemplating about Easy there, a difficulty I haven't scored a whole lot either (the 73m run was my first clear in that difficulty I think.. I don't think I even ever did a basic survival clear of easy MS, but I'm not even sure.) for normal mode and above I usually do Mai, my thoughts were just that Yuki is easier to graze, but I guess it was a dumb thought taking into consideration that the graze loss wouldn't be that big in contrast to the gains in bullet cancels.
I suppose it really is just the best to finish off Yuki before the Yuki&Mai fight ends then.. in my Normal run she already exploded on their second pattern rather than last. (That is also one of the reasons I am entirely certain that 130m is feasible, I honestly did not expect it; it somewhat bothers me.)
-
The 250m was just a play on your typo (I like to do that, sorry, habit from elsewhere), but my point is you did say "per bomb", which is not the case.
The value lost from bombing Shinki on Easy should be a flat 250k for the stage (no-bomb bonus 500k*.5), +8800 (60,000-51,200) per point item, minus whatever negligible amount you get from clearing the bombed bullets. Doesn't a Mima bomb during a boss cost you 4 max-PIV items to recover the dream bonus? That'd be a loss of 35,200 from PIV, less than letting a single point item drop
And clearly I'm not familiar enough with the stage 5 midboss graze (and I misread the part where you said you do it on Normal). I thought only 1 of 3 waves could be supergrazed, so I thought you'd have to wait a full cycle of 3 to graze it again, which would cost point items.
As for the 600 extend, I'd suspect it's barely reachable on Normal (well it's barely reachable on Easy already) with a lot of risky back-and-forth movement on stage 4 and 5. I don't think anyone's done it, though.

Ah, I somewhat was surprised, I honestly thought you took my typo seriously there but then that was me misunderstanding your joke, I can usually get jokes but if they seem too serious I at times can misunderstand them (that is not a problem though, those things happen and looking back at the joke it seems somewhat funny.) I think Mima bombs indeed take around 4 point items at max value to bring that back at max PiV again, reading things as they are kind of make me think that it might not be worth it to try the luckgraze (assuming that it likes to kill you, which is really seems to do, it would end up having to be bombed.)
I think I can get the 600 point item extend as far as I'm concerned I lost on quite a lot of point items due to the six deaths I had, but I did gather quite a lot of them (I am kind of used to the risky back and forth movement in stage 4 and 5, but it seems more feasible to collect more overall in Easy even with that movement, considering the second wave of red arrowhead fairies before the midboss for example seems pretty much only feasible in Easy to do.) But I can imagine it would still be pretty tough, I guess that is a matter of learning routes and correct execution, I do have to ask if the stage 4 bomb is a necessity for the 600 graze extend, since as far as your screenshot is concerned you barely got that extend; iirc it does give quite a bit of point items.
As for the stage 5 midboss graze, it is simply standing close to the midboss as it shoots the blue kunai waves, apparently impossible on easy as I noticed in my run while being possible on normal, hard and lunatic. You can just keep shooting (and probably do more damage too considering you'd be in front of the midboss during the graze.) As far as I'm concerned you usually get atleast 2 waves of that pattern, since the sets of patterns thrown at you (the three patterns) are kind of fired quickly, the midboss starts out with the blue kunai pattern too, so that means that it is basically only waiting 2 waves after it appears until you can graze it again (I don't think it is possible to finish the midboss off in that time by just shooting, maybe by bombing? So I don't really think there's any loss to grazing the pattern.) For the thirth time waiting a bit is important, but it happens rather quickly so it is not much of a spam duration loss (although for 600 point items maybe?) I can imagine this should be included in the thing about waiting for a good bullet cancel you mentioned earlier though. Although it seems to differ per difficulty what a good pattern to bullet clear is at the midboss, I do think in easy the best is the kunai pattern (to clear it when the waves reach the bottom but the midboss is still shooting); for normal maybe the green lasers or the white danmaku? I know that if you time the white danmaku circle the midboss shoots on Hard you can get a 3m bullet clear of that, so that is rather significant (I have gotten that a few times.)
Maybe that it is just worthless to try to do the luckgraze on easy; with that I mean that the risks are big, the reward should be big too in case nothing goes wrong, but I can imagine limiting that to 1 or 2 waves would be more than logical. On another note, I wonder if it is more feasible to perform if Shinki is high up rather than a bit closer to the bottom. As far as I'm concerned that is generally safer on low rank hard too. (the safespot seems a little wider; it seems to be easier to hold track of the pattern, atleast for low rank Hard.)

For the future, if I use multiple consecutive punctuation marks ("??" in that case) I'm probably not being serious. I am a pretty serious person much of the time, though, so I suppose it was unexpected.
OK, I did remember the midboss supergraze was only one type of wave, but I've never done it, and I thought it was the third (which might not appear a second time when speedkilling) when it was actually the first. Now that makes more sense. I wouldn't be surprised if the best cancel varies by difficulty, too, though it depends on just how much more it's worth (probably not worth waiting a wave or two if it only gives a few point items' equivalent, accounting for PIV and clear bonus multiplier). It could probably use some savestate testing.
The luckgraze gets safer at higher rank, doesn't it? Pretty sure the chance of dying is much higher at low rank Normal than max rank Normal (i.e. if you die once you'll probably die again). I'm guessing it might be safer because the bullets move faster-- fewer frames for rounding errors to accumulate (assuming a rounding error can only adjust a bullet's position by up to a pixel per frame). Still too dangerous at max rank Easy though.
Seems to be the sort of scoring strategy that'd only be worth it if the runs are very optimized, enough that you know you won't PB if you skip it. Like with staying in the middle on Kanako's 3rd spell on Easy, a luck-based faster capture.

Oh that gave it away, that should have been a little obvious.. I guess, but I'll take note to that regardless. :p
I'm usually pretty serious whenever the other person is serious, but I can be a bit silly too, there is nothing to be worried about though, as I said, looking back at that it is somewhat funny.
Well the waves the midboss throws at you are as following: Blue kunai slingers that statically move down, this is the only thing there is a graze for (just stand close to the midboss, move down a little to get some graze but not too much or else you'll die.) the second wave is iirc the white bullet circle, this apparently gives the highest bullet clear in Hard mode (as I said a moment ago, 3 Million, I remember that you basically want to finish off the midboss at the exact moment it shoots the white danmaku so there is some timing involved.) and last but not least the random green laser spam, there isn't really a way to graze either of the two patterns after the blue kunai pattern (the midboss starts out with that one, that is why atleast two waves should always be feasible to do while you keep shooting, waiting a little bit allows for three waves, more than that is basically playing it safe on higher difficulties.)
It indeed does, but I actually do believe that it is 100% safe on normal max rank (I might be wrong; if I am I might figure that out in the future.. But it seems more consistent, given that when Shinki moves the danmaku doesn't move along with her on your spot like it does at times on Easy, it at times does move a little and I have no clue if that can become deadly on max rank normal mode.) as far as I'm concerned it is still pretty deadly on low rank in hard mode, but I can imagine it is less deadly than in normal mode low rank. As far as I'm concerned the pattern never kills you in max rank hard and lunatic. (I think it does not kill you either in max rank normal, but as I said, I might be wrong there.) Low rank lunatic can still be deadly. I indeed do believe it is too risky for easy mode max rank; it might just be a worthless graze to try. This might actually make Easy mode one of the hardest difficulties to get a fully optimalised run in; that just because of the luck involved in that graze. Kind of silly to think of. (I think it would be harder than a fully optimalised Hard mode run, but definitely easier than lunatic. Bold thoughts there, but I honestly feel like the rng involved is that bad.)
That does seem like a perfectly sound explenation, as far as I'm concerned the graze usually goes wrong when rng decides to be evil when Shinki moves; that can definitely be adjusted due to the current rank having to do with the speed of the danmaku that is shot.

Did a Perfect (NMNB) of DDC's extra stage, finished with max resources and 719 Million too.

Hi, I hope it's okay for me to post this. ^^
About two days ago, I finally beat Touhou 8's extra stage for the first time!! Even though it wasn't the best run, I'm really happy since this is the first extra stage I've beaten!

Managed to summon 2 brooms with ReimuA in real-time :3
I thought for sure that this would be TAS only (watch http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm29195341 for 4 brooms at the same time).
-
That's 2 copies of the crazy gohei? Doesn't look like it, but considering the unnaturally high damage speed (and the way the TAS definitely spawns multiple at once), I guess it is.
How reliable is that? If it can be done consistently, it'd both be worth higher spell bonuses, and maybe change the scoring route if it could avoid bombing to speed-clear certain midboss patterns.
So many max spell bonuses in that TAS, anyway...
-
They mostly overlap, but it becomes clear that there are 2 on the second capture. I made another video comparing the damage with SakuyaA abuse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAoUlnea1Aw
I'm at ~5% consistency at best now :P I've done it a few times in a row, but that is pretty rare.

Well, a day or two ago, I finally beat PoDD and PoFV with every shot type, on Normal. It was a lot of fun, although sometimes it got really annoying. Glad it's finally done, though. :v

Reached Danmaku Bounded Field in PCB Phantasm, i know, compared to almost literally everyone else here it`s just shit, but it`s one nonetheless !
I would have reached it with 3 Lives if i hadn`t derped Boundary between Humans and Youkai, so that would have probably given me a chance, and i really hate memorization cards that don`t give me time to study the pattern, not to mention the constant tension.
But yea, it`s crappy achievement, but it`s my crappy achievement. :V
-
Hey now, there's no such thing as a crappy achievement.
I've finally completed Shining Shooting Star's Extra stage. Which is only the second Extra I've completed; PCB still eludes me. Rika is a very strange boss fight, with difficulty all over the place -- well, it was already a lot of extra work for the devs to make completely different spellcards for each character, so it's not really surprising they didn't balance it very well. It was annoying, though, when two previous attempts crashed and burned on the last card, which is one of the easiest. But today I finally broke the jinx :)
-
So I've done a few things lately, under is basically what I've done:
159m MS Extra with Yuuka, I'm continuing with Yuuka scoring attempts after I'm done with Reimu: First few screenshots (https://twitter.com/Zigzagwolf/status/752141043336876032) Yuuka 159 Million score screenshot (https://twitter.com/Zigzagwolf/status/755100598933057536)
177,9m MS Extra with Reimu, A really strong run, but with significant mistakes, I found an improvement in my bomb route but this makes my runs way harder to execute, I'm expecting a really strong run could now get 190m+ but I'll see what I can do, I'd be content with 185m first. Proof: Reimu Score Screenshot (https://twitter.com/Zigzagwolf/status/753590565959327745)
I managed to LNB GFW a few days ago after I did No bombs the Extra stage. (I did NB the EX 1 day before the LNB, kind of had to redo the LNB again because I had the wrong route mark glitch in my replay, I figured out that happens when you continue/restart from stage 2 onwards.)
Great Fairy Wars Lunatic No Bombs Route A2 (https://youtu.be/6pui44emai8) and Great Fairy Wars Extra No Bombs (https://youtu.be/e_MFsh4C9Dw)
Got a No Bombs LoLK Extra clear too with Sanae on the same day too, first run without even having to restart for derps too, and that without sound (I was in a skype call so I wanted to focus on that.) Had one life left at the end, I think NMNB is possible but it'll take a while before I get that from whenever I start attempting. Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom Extra Stage No Bombs (https://youtu.be/HTZPhJRcemU)
Also did try EoSD Extra again, kind of had the 75 FPS bug (I figured I had force 60 FPS off so my bad in that.) I did NB clear (I was just doing a silly run too.) then I died on a few of Flandre's easier things out of stupidity, but captured Starbow break, the survival and Q.E.D anyways (the spellcards I still had to capture!), I finished with 1 life too which is an improvement over my old NB. (Still a silly one.) I can definitely NMNB EoSD's Extra stage, but this will probably take a while too. Also the survival capture was very silly. Sadly enough because my game ran on 75 FPS I couldn't save a replay.
-
That's quite a collection.
What is this "75 FPS bug", and why doesn't it let you save replays?
-
Hey now, there's no such thing as a crappy achievement.
Yes there is. It's called my achievements which are all invariably shitty :P
So like I'm scoring TD easy. I haven't started full runs yet but everything is routed and practiced. There doesn't seem to be anything specific in the WR I can't do at least somewhat, really.
My stage practice highscores are, at the moment:
Stage 1: 10 million (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=40974)
Stage 2: ~36 million or so
Stage 3: 26.9 million
Stage 4: 60 million (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=41020)
Stage 5: 70 million (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=41021)
Stage 6: 180 million (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=41044)
And before anyone asks, no I did not use all the stage practice lives. :V
I'll give a full blog post of my thoughts when I get home, add in the rest of the replays, and probably watch Karisa's run like she recommended.
-
That's quite a collection.
What is this "75 FPS bug", and why doesn't it let you save replays?
Definitely quite a collection, I've spent some time on the MS EX scores but the GFW and LoLK achievements really didn't take long.
Well "bug" it is probably my own fault, I noticed that in the game's costum.exe I didn't have "force 60 FPS" checked, which probably lead to the game running on 75 FPS in fullscreen for somereason (when I checked that I didn't have that bug anymore.) The reason you cannot save a replay is because the game does not allow you to if your FPS wasn't consistently on 60 FPS (the game didn't get sped up to 75 FPS, it did display 75 FPS instead.)
So in all honesty, I am to blame for this I guess.. Then again I've got a strange feelings settings suddenly changed in EoSD since a while, often when I launch the game windowed the game runs on 58 FPS for somereason or even crashes almost right away. I'm assuming I've got to mess a bit around with the costum.exe if that keeps happening in windowed.
-

You call that shitty ? Compared to mine they look like gemstones.
Also, seems like we need a new thread ? We have hit the 1000th post with this one.

They're not as good as they look, at least not quite yet.
Yes, they're good scores. I'm happy with them.
But that isn't the same as pulling off runs that good in a full run. Far from it.
If I did, I don't know just how high it'd get me, but if I had to guess, it'd be over 800m. The scores from each stage would be higher - to give you an idea. The potion before the first trance, in stage practice you start that bit with 5000 PIV. In full runs, 100,000. You'd get approximately 20x more from that section alone. That translates to roughly 25-30m?
I'm not 100% sure just how high it'd get. But, regardless. Going for perfect play (or as close as I can be) is hard.
Let's see what my first few runs get first ;)
Thanks, though. I was only joking, and hey. That doesn't mean your achievements are meaningless, even if others have achieved something objectively much harder. Keep trying, I'm sure you'll crack phantasm :P

Got a GFW B1 LNB earlier today, the hardest route and sadly enough a softlock LNB (meaning I ended up flying on forever, luckily a manual save replay is possible.) According to Prinny's calculation the clear bonus would've been 19,3m making my total clear score 40,866,550 Also 4 lives left is pretty nice. I also LNB'd Route A1 and C1 a few days ago, but have yet to upload those. Guess I'll focus on doing B2 and C2 to've LNB'd all routes and also do EoSD EXNN as the next goals.

I was planning on achieving the NMNB with ReimuB, I've up to now only done a few attempts but both good ones got an 1MNB rather quickly, I'm assuming I'd finish with about 280m too, so it'll be fun. I guess I'll start attempts tomorrow. However that makes me think about trying this with more shottypes later on, it is definitely a possibility.
Also a new thread per 1000 posts I assume? In that case a new one should definitely be made.
