Why does Stage 5 of SA have such a difficult boss fight? ;_;
So close to capping Yuyuko's last spell card in PCB hard. On the second to last wave, I get clipped by a bubble bullet. Darn it.I did it again. ;_;
Game Complete: 99.87%

Kanyanko/me cats spontaneously explode
Came very close to doing a 1cc of IN on normal, but...
Kaguya killed me during her final spell with about a 10th of her health left.

I'm more a follower of what YoS.K does whenever he plays. (If you haven't seen the account on Ustream, it's pretty much restarting when something goes wrong early in)
I know some of you follow what some superplayer that I don't remember said about not throwing away runs when you're losing
Lunatic 1cc denied.So what happened to "nonexistant skills"?
I'm fucking pissed at the two derpdeaths on stage two and the derp on stage 4.
Goddammit game. Let me 1cc something before my exams start.
So I got to stage 4 on UFO with five lives.
Suddenly Murasa.
How does this even happen.
Darn it! So close to getting a 1cc of UFO normal. Needed two seconds to win, but Reimu forgot how to bomb after she bombed. IDK why. I'm never gonna 1cc this game on anything above easy.Don't give up!! Practice Byakuren some, she's pretty tough. We'll just say on my first 1cc I went in with 8 lives and came out with 1, but once you're used to her she's... reasonable. Maybe work on your other problem areas to save resources too.
So I got to stage 4 on UFO with five lives.Stage 4 is a wall in most games, the difficulty just goes through the roof in comparison to the previous stages. Just keep trying and you'll break through it :3. SA and UFO both got me there, and then the 1cc was another wall after that. IN Lunatic got me there too... And EoSD... And PCB... Yeah, pretty much all of them >_>.
Suddenly Murasa.
How does this even happen.
I went into Byakuren in that run with either 3 or 4 lives, and made it to her last spell with 1. (darn it last spell) On practice I'm worse, because I usually use up ALL of my lives, somehow. >_>Try sitting under Byakuren and dodging the lasers with just vertical movements. The stars she shoots are aimed too, so no worries there either. The first spell is pretty nasty for clipdeaths, so you might want to bomb that one, even though it's relatively easy. Maybe bomb the fourth nonspell too once Byakuren gets close to the bottom too if you can't get used to circling. Air scroll is annoying because bombs don't do much damage, and her last spell is tough, but that's to be expected. Aside from that she shouldn't give you too much trouble though. Definitely try to get used to capturing Devil's Recitation too. You'll thank yourself when you go for Mystic Square Hard/Lunatic.
Don't ask how, I don't know. :ohdear:
But yeah, I've practiced her many times over, and she's a royal pain every time, mostly from that last spell card and curvy lasers. I can't read those!
Okay ive timed out kogasa last nonspell i should be able to get it in a real run now.That must have been surprising. :P
*dies to this nonspell in a real run*
.... FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUU
YUDODIS KOGASA?
one of these days ill get it :V
Was doing a Normal SA run with ReimuA...Stage 4, I actually managed to safespot BoWaP without losing spell card bonus. After getting Satori down to a sliver of health, I decided to time out the card. At 01 second remaining, I fire to finish it off...and at the same time, I hear myself go pichuun~ without even moving :fail:I bet what happened was Satori leaned into you during her death animation. That happens to everyone at least once, so don't feel too bad.
Why are Lunatic EoSD Stage 1 and 2 so annoying ?I really hate that, when bullets get me confused with power-ups. Or an unfortunate one recently, the point item was perfectly on top of a bullet. Guess what happened?
Bullets that looks like power items, demarcation, scrap of paper suddenly hitting you, cirno opener ?
WHHHHHHHHHHY ?
Why is it that no matter what game(not including the fighters) , easy: Im a friggin master, yet the moment I touch normal, I derp-mode around stage 3? I mean really, the two difficulties arent much different from each other.
Tried Imperishable Shooting without focus, because someone said I can't do it... then I've done it, and because I was so happy about it I mostook the Yes button to try the spellcard again for the button to save a replay...
Last life, Reimu B, Danmaku Bounded Field.Fixed that for ya.
...is it just me or is Stygian Riverside easier than Prism Concerto? I have more captures on Stygian Riverside than on both Prism Concertos combined -_-
Fixed that for ya.
And yeah, that spell can be mean sometimes. Even if it's completely static, it's still mean. :V
Oops, that's what I get for posting at such a time :VYeah, that's exactly what I did. The hardest wave IMO is the fourth. I know there is the safespot trick, but I've never been successful at pulling that off.
Well, it kinda was my fault for staring at Yukari instead of focusing on dodging. The first time I cleared Phantasm, I had to Bomb Spam it.
MoF Hard
Bullshit deaths
Awful play
Just f off.
Hey Aya, mind toning down those nonspells a bit?
Pretty please?
Pretty please with a newspaper on top?
I hate UFO. I can't believe I lost 4 lives on Stage 3
Lunatic Stage 3 Midboss IchirinHello me, but on normal. Just ragequited the game. SanaeB = no freakin power at all. She takes way too long to kill stuff. (I'm not playing Marisa yet because she doesn't like me)
I can capture this spell!
*dies*
Well at least I wont have to...
*dies again*
well maybe ill get to
*DEATH*
THIS GAME IS RIDICULOUS. DODGING SKILLS WHERE? :colonveeplusalpha:
Hello me, but on normal. Just ragequited the game. SanaeB = no freakin power at all. She takes way too long to kill stuff. (I'm not playing Marisa yet because she doesn't like me)
And those many deaths for me are Murasa's last spell and Byakuren's last spell. I swear Murasa's last spell is just too slow on normal at the beginning. I can't get into any rhythm there at all. (bomb spam it)
Have you tried reimu-a? A pretty good bomb along with a strong forward. But you may have to relearn stages cuz you dont have a spread shot =/. I remember sanae-b being awesome on normal though b/c it was so easy to gather ufos, but i dunno it's your choice after all. also yeah i find both of those spells difficult on normal as well. so uh hang in there im sure you'll get it eventually.I have played as ReimuA. Just yesterday and the night before, I cleared UFO normal with both of them, and SanaeA. Haven't gotten the other three yet. My favorites in that game are probably ReimuA and SanaeA, as they are pretty powerful. I'm just sucking more with Sanae because I'm so very used to playing as Reimu in most of the games. (space PCB, I play Sakuya)
Annoyed with how slow Reimu moves in PCB. ReimuB is practially designed for easy 1CC behind SakuyaA (who can't bomb past the Prismrivers if shit hits the fan)
LOL SUPER FAIL AT FLANDRE. NOT ONLY DID I FAIL SO FUCKING BAD AT EASY CRANBERRY TRAP, HER SECOND CARD THINGY, AND THE BEGINNING OF ATTWBN, I EVEN CAPTURED MAZE OF LOVE, STARBOW BREAK, HER BOUNCY BUBBLE CARD THINGY, AND MAZE OF LOVE. :flandretrollface:

(space PCB, I play Sakuya)oh i gotcha. also try marisa-b i herd shes a pretty good shottype :V You do know about the shotgun with sanae-b right? Imma assume you do and with that good luck. Now for my obligatory ufo rage of the day. Why can't my skills in practice run translate over to when im doing a real run? Stupid stage 3... then again that might be because i tried a ufo path that wasn't very good for me >.> Well i usually see improvement once i change up a thing or two so maybe ill actually have progress!
At least SanaeB trivializes Kogasa's first boss spell, where as most other shot types don't.
Dammit, why the hell can't I dodge with Magic Team? The spells are easy enough, its the shottype! I swear it!
And Demon Binding Ring has got to be one of the most annoying things with that team. It takes forever because I get that little time under them.
For me, it's Reimu's freaking nonspells. Everything except Fantasy Seal -Spread- is fairly simple (or at least on Easy and Normal Modo), but I really struggle getting Alice to be able to stay underneath Reimu to handle the nonspells, which are way harder, IMO.My issue was getting a good stage, since it's hard to PoC with the waves those fairies with circling familiars on both sides... Especially the ones where there's 2 waves of them in a row. I ended up just giving up without even submitting an easy score. With Reimu's nonspells, just stalk her with Marisa and switch into Alice before yin-yang orbs hit you. It's much easier than Marisa solo, where those orbs make her nonspells pretty much a bomb-through for me (even on easy D=).
And those many deaths for me are Murasa's last spell and Byakuren's last spell. I swear Murasa's last spell is just too slow on normal at the beginning. I can't get into any rhythm there at all. (bomb spam it)Definitely run some stage 4 practice then. Let her stalk you clockwise, let waves pass by you while they're still slow, and just keep moving between corners The last 10 seconds of that card are where you should be having your troubles, since that's when she starts moving faster than you can run laps. Byakuren's last spell... Well, I can understand that one >_>. I've only captured it
exams....must finish gaaaaah, fail touhou play at phantasm~ ah well...must wait about 2 weeks -.-....damn rust is invading my body!
Screw exams, Touhou is much more important! I dragged myself out of bed today even though I'm ill because I wanted to get past the Oni stage on double spoiler :VNext stage says
Speaking of which, OH MY GOD Suika! Failed hard on Large speck in needle hell -_-
Next stage says hi screw you.
Reason why I haven't gotten anywhere in it.
Just started it after capturing Adamant helix and the curvy laser one.Goddamnit now I'm playing it.
NOOO SHOU! WHY?! Also why 7 photos?! *Instadeath*
Marisa is too fat.
That is all.
Marisa begs to differ. (http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t270/FoxFanatic1995/th021.jpg)No no no, go tighter. I could almost fit two Reimus through there. Oh wait, Marisa is already "almost two Reimus". Derp. :V
No no no, go tighter. I could almost fit two Reimus through there. Oh wait, Marisa is already "almost two Reimus". Derp. :VI don't know. I do know that I've called Marisa fat a while back.
I kid, I kid. I just made that first comment since I'm not used to using her hitbox yet. Nothing that major. Though I believe I'm not the first one here to note and "criticize" the fact that characters have different hitbox sizes... (Donut, was it?)

Donut, maybe Zengeku, me, and probably a few others.
I know the reason I used ReimuA and ReimuB while going for UFO Lunatic was hitbox size. SanaeB would have been my next option. Maybe I'd consider MarisA for the piercing. But I would have hated having Marisabox, and of course I view SanaeA and MarisaB as pretty much unplayable.

You learn something new every day. Who knew there wereTimeout Cards (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=13731) on Normal?

Don't worry, there is another one in a other game... :VAlso Yuyuko in PCB. Reflowering =3.
It'sAya in MoF.
Bigger hitbox is really annoying and cause of many tragic clipdeaths.
Also Yuyuko in PCB. Reflowering =3.
if I hadn't gone and lost a live during Remilia's third non-spellcard pattern because I felt that primal urge to collect those point items, charging straight into the knives.
Edit: And again, 3 lives, 0 bombs upon entering stage 6. Didn't even make it past the third spellcard this time, this is even less cool! Oh, well, gonna try again tomorrow, the shame of messing up so badly will help me grow stronger.
Am I an idiot for wanting to do my first 1cc in PCB with SakuyaB? Maybe.
If I recall correctly, I was like using one bomb for each spellcard phase in Primsriver stage.
Don't worry about that. What matter is your capability to be able to survive or not. I used all my bombs and lives when fought against Yuyucow. Come to think of it .. that was so intense because that's my first 1cc ever :3
OT : Why my TH13 always crashed whenever Miyako heals herself !! RAEG
I made that same stupid death in my 1cc.
Also, I was 3/0 when I entered stage 6 on my 1cc, got to Remilia 2/3, and finished 0/0. Not sure what shot type you're using, but you're pretty close pretty much as long as you're not using ReimuA.
I is Parsee jealous of anyone with the ability to do that (epicbad at Touhou).
Okay, so I officially hate SA's life system. It's a little unfair TBH, considering you need 5 stars for a life, and if you clear a pattern(spell or otherwise) you get one, whereas if you die,(bombs dont count thank GOD) it just goes "lol no star for you". That is completely bass-ackwards and is the sole reason I cannot clear stage 4 on normal.
Seriously. Just... RAAA.
...I can't 1cc SA on normal.
That's pretty much all I can say without throwing my computer at the wall right now. :fail:
...I can't 1cc SA on normal.
That's pretty much all I can say without throwing my computer at the wall right now. :fail:
Rule of 3 guys, rule of 3.Explain? I think I know what you mean (by this "rule of 3").
I too am in this boat.
I also cant CC SA on normal. Additionally, I cant CC any shooter on normal.Play moar, and practice on hard if you need to. SA's one of the tougher normals, but normals in general aren't too bad if you give it some regular practice. Put in a couple hours every day and you'll get there in no time :3.
pick slot, go back, pick slot again, save, game does not crashYes, that is a glitch that happens only to PoFV (at least to my knowledge) It doesn't matter which slot you pick originally.
At least it never happened for me.
midboss nue lunatic
midboss nue
nue
Wat.would you rather me call it an orb of light? Cuz that orb of light is nue ya know :V
Make the connection please. I still don't see how.You dont ??? Okay stage 4 of ufo. There's that ball of light in the middle of the stage. That's nue. Have you not played ufo extra?
Edit: :derp: I get it now. She's in her "What the hell are you form" during Stages 4 and 6.
Is this an accomplishment or a fail? (http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll294/maxxjaxx/pcbsuperfail.jpg)Would ya like me to drag out that image I have of me and Flan both dying at the same instant?
Is this an accomplishment or a fail? (http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll294/maxxjaxx/pcbsuperfail.jpg)Reminds me of this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iiqa8BIlP10).
We could lend a score.dat for stage practice~
And just backup your normal dat. for when you go for the win.
Edit: Not so much rage at Touhou, but at my computer again...
It's too shitty to record my UFO Hard 1cc without sound desyncs or lag or something ruining it.
I don't wanna ask other people if they can record it and make it pretty looking again...
Its the only Touhou x Megaman game there is to my knowledge.
Hard gameplay - that's what I want but unavoidable attacks? Not so much.
What do I mean by this? MY GOD, YUKARI SUCKS IN THIS ONE. >:(
Well there's also this. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVmf9u4ZwCc&feature=related) :V
Play better I guess. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTcoVrcnAj4#t=4m26s)

Oh, I never played Easy-Modo by the way. That's for elementary school students.

Finally, IaMP! Why did I never put any effort into this? I only played a friend's copy before.
Oh, that's right. I'm completely uncoordinated when it comes to fighting games and I'm even worse at this than I am with SWR/Soku. How do I not suck? I'm going to be awful even if I practice for a month.Would ya like me to drag out that image I have of me and Flan both dying at the same instant?

Whut? SA's like a cakewalk compared to UFO. You get three times as many bombs and a huge amount of lives. Some even says that UFO Hard is harder than some games on Lunatic.I'm gonna have to agree with them. I think it's largely in part because UFO's first 3 bosses are actually challenging though (or at least I think so). Murasa onward seems to fit in more with the rest of the games though. I really like the later parts of UFO, even if Shou's spells are incredibly gay with clipdeaths if you don't just bomb everything.

IMO, it also seems that SA is also easier to learn
"The route" is pretty much the only viable way to get through Stage 1, isn't it?
Not sure about Stage 2 being easier, though, I just find the barrages in Stage 1 easier to control. Hina's midboss spellcard seems surprisingly easy, though, since the bullets aren't too much of a problem if I start off in the middle and then just move back. With Reimu A, Hina goes down before things get out of hand.
FFFFFFFFFF-If you play with a controller once, you'll have to plug it in again (just plugging it in while the game is running even, dont even have to use it.) every time until you restart your computer otherwise it'll run at 20-30fps. Or at least I have to anyway...
Another shitty MoF run. For some reason my game decided to slow itself down to 30FPS and kill me on Nitori's third nonspell during a random sudden return to fullspeed. Same with Momiji. Flew into one of the crows on stage 4, flew into a yellow bullet from the end crows, gameovered on Aya's second spell. I hate this game.

>SAOh wow the same thing happened with me with nue, ichirin, kogasa, and shou...this happens to me too much But yeah It's the worst feeling aint it? Anyways today i managed to enter LFS 0/0. Maybe I woulda had an extra life or two if stage 3 didn't overkill me ;_; GDI im so close to this ufo lunatic 1cc i can almost taste it.

WHY CAN'T I GET PAST TD STAGE 2 BOSS WHATEVER HER NAME IS
THAT SLUT
(I swear, ReimuC has some interesting advantages over ReimuA... 1) Bomb power. 2) Directing shots in Genetics of the Subconscious 3)Maintaining max power at 3.xx 4) You can use yourself as a battering ram during your bomb when fighting Subterranean Rose.)5) Skipping Sanae. Though I guess that could be a disadvantage too because you lose the three life pieces...
5) Skipping Sanae. Though I guess that could be a disadvantage too because you lose the three life pieces...
Yoshika, on the other hand, is just silly on Hard and Lunatic.
Hai, why can't I clear IN and EoSD Extra...What parts specifically? And just because you might not know about them, there's a safespot on the death fairy before Mokou (bottom-left corner for border team, here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDF5LnpyIL4) for others), and a pseudo-safespot for Flaw of Forgiving Shrine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxxT3Dgnz2I#t=3m05s).
There isn't a safespot on the death fairy before Mokou
Safespot if you can't read the thing but follow the advice in this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhklegJN7dY&feature=channel_video_title) by good ol' Kefit.

IN I suck at Possessed by Phoenix =(

Because you also get the extend and point items if you timeout the fairy (just gave it a run to double check so I don't end up looking like an idiot)

Maze of LoveWhy with Reimu only ? I thought her hitbox was not smaller until PCB...
Circling is self-explanatory. You'd have to last a while and be accurate in movement though.
Micrododging: if you are Reimu, try it; the round blue bullets are aimed at you, so you have to move left or right.
Why with Reimu only ? I thought her hitbox was not smaller until PCB...
I tried circling and micrododging Maze of Love, but I keep dying =(
As for Possessed by Phoenix, let's just say every part hates me :fail:
Further fixed.
If you can't read the thing, get better :V
If that is the case then be happy about spell practice. Seriously, go there and practice until you got it. The guy in this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amU_6OrxLz8) video demonstrates it well. Its also the same method I use for the second phase. Alternatively you can microtap from the bottom of the screen but that is an art I have never mastered.
Aww man, you broke my post. :(
There, repaired.
Also, have a video. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51we6En02aE)Looks tool assisted to me. Very sloppy gameplay+shaky Reimu+great micrododging is just screaming it. Especially QED, it looks like the guy's having a seizure and yet he still manages to cap it, no way that's just nervous twitches.
You only noticed now?
SA Extra, MarisaA.Maybe you should just record it live. At least then you'll have a replay, even if you can't Gensokyo it.
Every single fucking time! I've cleared it three times now! It's crashed three times in a row!
What the fucking hell?
Trying to 1cc EoSD, etc. Due to pulling some stupid dodges way beyond my current level I finally manage to arrive to Remilia with 4 lives. Get so hyped and I'M ON FIRE NOW THERE'S NO WAY I CAN LOSE NOW and then manage to lose, anyway, by the time of Scarlet Shot. (replay at eleven).When you're granted a miracle like that... Bomb. Everything. Then you just have to do okay at Red Magic for the clear =p.
the Idiot Ball is such a hard thing to carry...

WHY WHY WHY am I failing so hard with Marisa C in MoF. To think that she was my fav. player before...It's MarisaC that does the spoiling~
Have I really spoiled myself with ReimuB too much?
EDIT: fine, scraped my MarisaC lunatic 1cc. Enter stage 4 with 6 lives, come out with 1 :colonveeplusalpha:, then I magically managed to get out of stage 5 with even less resources than I entered with. Had to (and thankfully did, or else my computer would have been thrown out of the window) no death Kanako.
Man, what am I doing wrong?!
inb4notenoughblueufos
That death with a bomb in stock on stage 3 I didn't even see the bullet. Last Ichirin death I bombed too late. Anyway... Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=14179). Ugh.
In need of Stage 4 advice
I don't know for sure how many attempts at timeout have been recent, but my total attempts for timing this out have gone over 1,000.
Nah, don't feel bad about that at all. You might get a bit rusty on the Touhou side if you are away from it for a little but playing other shmups will benefit you greatly as you'll learn some general shmupping experience from playing them.
I'm able to no-focus Kanako, but I can't time VoWG out?
*The Kaguya plan is when you get to the final boss with a ton of resources and just bombspam because you suck at all her attacks.
I thought Kaguya was supposed to be the easier of the two IN final bosses?
Her nonspells are harder than her spells, though.
Misjudged hitboxes and late deathbombs label:
http://i56.tinypic.com/353412s.png
At least 4 of those deaths were bullshit >_>
As for my current RAGE, how the F DO YOU CONTROL MARISA? I TAP LEFT OR RIGHT AND STUPID CLUMSY WITCH FLIES A MILE TO THROW HERSELF AT A BULLET. AND THIS IS WHILE FOCUSING. THEY'RE NOT MUSHROOMS, YOU STUPID ADDICT, THEY'RE BULLETS. BULLETS![/vent]
Oh man, this screencap. THIS FREAKING SCREENCAP.I want to be able to say "Who said I continued? :V", but this is probably the only time in my life (since before my first 1cc) where I DID use a continue to practice grazing Sakuya's head (midboss nonspell) >_>. She proceeded to collide with me 3 times and waste all my lives. Anyway, rings are no problem (tap, tap, done), but I decided to be a retard and try dodging the walls. Not that it would mattered at that point anyway from all the HURRdeaths before that. As for no-bomb run, naw, generic Lunatic attempt =/
I never continue in EoSD, through as seeing a good end is always the objective. Unless you were trying to do a no bomb run (in which case you're a better man and I'm not in place to provide advice), at that particular place I usually spend a bomb immediately before, to defeat the six faeries that throw the red, blue and green rings of bullets. That bomb helps to survive the barrier faeries too (I usually try to kill the center and left faeries so I only need to dodge barriers from one direction).
Cant.Play.In.Very.Hot.Weather.The same happens to me : since yesterday, my fingers are slipping, I need to blink twice more than usual, and my computer is slower... ><
In a UFO normal 1cc attempt I had max lives by the time Murasa appeared and only died twice during her fight.
I made it through stage five able to maintain the lives I had.
Shou made sure to take the remaining 6 away during her fight.
This, so much this. Then, if by some miracle you make it through Shou, Byakuren's all like O HAI THAR and blitzes you -_-
Every single one of Patchy's spellcards.Even with Reimu A? They used to scare me a lot too, but these days I can capture them rather regularly. Not Lava Cromlech, however. That card is a pain.

Still failing at Fantasy Heaven. I don't know how I can last through the whole thing. My best record for time (which I can now do semi-consistently) is going to the last 8 seconds. Then it always walls me. Why did ZUN have to make this card so darn difficult?

Remember when I raged about dying to Keine when she was exploding? Well, the same thing happened to this guy (http://score.royalflare.net/th08/dlreplay.cgi?id=2195), but on Kaguya's Hourai Jewel. Just wanted to post this to prove that it's possible to die when bosses explode.
It's a good score attempt, but many failed last spells and amazingly cringeworthy misses ruined it. Totally watchable regardless.
I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't "get" MS seeing how I've heard so many people call it easy outside of Yumeko. Nice to see I'm as terrible at these bosses as ever. :fail:Luize, Yuki and Mai are actually challenging if you don't remember their patterns, some of which just POP OUT at you spontaneously.
Oh, FUCK YOU, PCB Stage 4This. again, and again. Even on easy mode, this stage is pure pain.
I can win PCB on easy, but on normal, stage 4 (not the prismrivers, mind you, the stage itself) destroys me. What little of me arrives on Youmu is mercilessly cut.
How do you know that the game is perfect for players better than you? :V
And then my computer didn't register my bomb in Royal Flare.Are you using the Vsync patch? If you are, then make sure no bullets are anywhere near you next time you try that.
It has been said before, it will be said again, but it also has to be said now:
ORIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!!!!
Bah, was going through MoF Normal with MarisaB, and got farther than ever before. I had six lives left when I met Kanako. Head into "Mountain of Faith" with a decent three lives left. Die once, completely lose my concentration, and proceed to die three more times in quick succession. AGH, I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO UNLOCK EXTRA FINALLY D:That last spellcard is either heaven or hell for me. I either capture it or completely lose my composure and blow all my resources on it.
Oh yeah, it was death-less until Stage 5 after midboss Sanae too. Such a good run for me. -.-
Pfff, Orin's like 1000 years too early to be close to Syou "Fuck Your 1cc" Toramaru in terms of utter rage and bile.Part 1: WORDS AND NOTHING MORE! Shou's almost refreshing compared to Orin's HATE.
Edit: I love MoF extra so much. So much until SUWAKO'S FREAKING SURVIVAL NONSENSE CARDS and, if you manage to overcome them, a hilariously easy last spell. It just lacks finesse.
Are you using the Vsync patch? If you are, then make sure no bullets are anywhere near you next time you try that.
I can confirm that you need to capture that sequence to get the extra life. However, each of the four waves is a randomly-orienting static pattern (all in the same "style" too), so grind it in Practice, learn it, and love it. Okay, maybe not "love it", but at least learn it.
It's aimed at your position, and so is the stage six version (which is just a bit faster) :)I'm pretty sure it's not. But either way, it's still mostly memo.
Eff you EoSD Reimu A. Eff you and your weak shot power. I would have gotten that 1cc if you had just been the TINIEST BIT STRONGER. Why did I have to die RIGHT AS REMILIA WAS EXPLODING?! And by RUNNING INTO A BULLET, of all things!!
The exact same thing has happened to me before. I had extra lives though so I laughed instead of raged.
On another note, I just got Perfect Cherry Blossom. Ghosts, half-phantoms and a certain trumpet-playing poltergeist can go to hell.
Why is Petit Flare so hard on EASY ? I can capture it consistently on both Normal and Hard, and it doesn't give me lot of trouble on Lunatic, but the easy conterpart has ruined three perfect runs in a row... >> It just fells like the bullet's hitoboxes are ten times bigger, or they like to wall me. X____x"The question is, if you are good enough to play on lunatic, why are you bothering with easy?

Wriggle on lunatic drives me insane. It's not because it's hard, no, in fact, it's because it's way too fucking easy. I always do some stupid mistakes at Keine/Marisa/Kaguya which means i have to restart, which in turn means that I have to do that god damn WRIGGLE STAGE again and hear that annoying WRIGGLE MUSIC. Fucking wriggle.
I'm getting somewhat sick to the back teeth of practicing stuff only to do worse on a proper run, or to die to stuff I should breeze past with my eyes closed!
I'll get over it and knock everyone of her teeth out as revenge.
Hold it, can't let you do that, cowboy! Anyway, I know what you mean, passes soon enough indeed. Usually, I find myself performing better than before after following up a few playing-heavy days with a break of three or four days. Once you want to pressure yourself into playing better after underperforming, it's hard to recover anyway.
I'm sure we can work out some other form of compensation. Its alright.
So I'm failing epically at trying to no-death PCB Extra. What the hell, I already have no-death Phantasm, and I'm struggling at Extra?Why am I quoting this?
This makes something like 50 failed attempts now. My last one? "YES I BEAT UNILATERAL CONTACT! THREE BOMBS LEFT! NOTHING CAN STOP ME NOW!"
(dies to Shikigami "Chen")
...
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU :colonveeplusalpha:
Well, that's a relief, just performing in a satisfying fashion should do the trick I guess.
I certainly don't know what to think about Boundary of Wave and Particle being easy, though, is it on the same level as the StB-Version on Lunatic?
Subterranean Animism. Stop fucking killing me before Stage 4. It's kinda lost its charm. Fuck Yamame and her opening non-spell. Fuck those lasers on Yuugi's stage. Fuck Stage 2 for being such a pathetic placeholder. Fuck Kisume for being so pathetic. Fuck the stage design for slaugthering my attention spam with tedium. Oh and fuck my own silly incapability to dodge stuff the game becomes difficult.
I dunno about the difficulty about the StB card. It seemed pretty simple to me and its not really the same pattern. They are just similar. Plus, in SA you get the awesome bonus of decent movement speed while focused.
I don't know if you're putting self-imposed challenges into this.Not self-imposed, but Sapz-imposed. :V
If not: bomb more.
I don't know if you're putting self-imposed challenges into this.?
If not: bomb more.
Not self-imposed, but Sapz-imposed. :V
I love your rage, though, especially because you don't forget that you play a major role in your failures, too. Blaming it all on the game is just outrageously lame.
There are patches out for 12.5 and 12.8 already.:o I was not aware of this!
I'm so frustrated with PCB that it's not even funny.I was really terrible at Yuyuko too at first. Getting to Yuyuko with no continues wasted and using up 2 or 3 of them on her. She's easy once you get used to her spellcards.
Chen's second card with the tiny bullets that get faster as they fall towards you can just go and die.
Why is the first part of stage 4 so bloody long?!
I CAN'T figure out Youmu's signature pattern for the life of me.
But of course, my main rage is Yuyuko. Every single one of her spell cards are just pieces of bullshit. I mean come on, no-deathing the game on Easy right past Youmu's final appearence, then dying SIX EFFING TIMES to Yuyuko herself? Why do I find her so difficult on EASY?!?
I don't get how is Yuyuko BS, i find her easier than the other last bosses (and you can bomb everything/border break anyway)
Also her theme just bugs me when I fight her - don't get me wrong; I love it but it just doesn't suit as a final boss theme IMO. It makes me want to relax, which kills me. And then I end up dying five+ times while this stupidly calm music is playing in the background.
Heh, if I hadn't derped twice on Metal Fatigue then maybe things would have gone that way instead.

Partly because of those darn butterfly hitboxes which I can't figure out, and her ridiculous non-spells (apart from her 4th one). Also her theme just bugs me when I fight her - don't get me wrong; I love it but it just doesn't suit as a final boss theme IMO. It makes me want to relax, which kills me. And then I end up dying five+ times while this stupidly calm music is playing in the background.
Butterfly hitboxees: Ignore the butterfly, dodge like a normal ball bullet. Butterfly portion has no hitbox, only the same spot as if it were just a ball, far as I've seen.
Nonspell 1: Start directly under her, then move to follow her. That'll help keep the rice bullets from turning to much harder to pass walls.
Nonspell 2: Start under her til the bubbles are about to fire, then zoom to left. Stream bubbles as slowly as possible, bomb on right side if you don't kill the lifebar in time.
Nonspell 3: Use vertical movement more than horizontal. The knies start out just falling, then start aiming at you. After one or two waves pass you, they'll stop directly aiming for you and just be close. Focus on not sidling into them when you're moving to dodge the bubbles.
Upon "Bloom Nobly, Cherry Blossoms of Sumizome ~ Border of Life": I second the poster who said if this doesn't pump you up, you're potentially doing it wrong. I'll admit, some parts are slow, like the beginning, but once you start hearing the buildup after the intro, it just screams "Oh crap it's starting, it's starting!", then the main part of her theme, at least for me, really gets me into a "Let's do this! It's the final battle!" type mood. Though of course, if it's not your sort of motivation song, then that's obviously fine too, since we're all different. =) Either way, let's enjoy the song for whatever we each see in it.
So, I got that vpatch for IN... I changed "vsync" to "1" in the .ini, but I don't really see the difference. Though maybe it is here. I mean everything has been going smoothly since me getting it, so I assume the difference in input lag can be felt, but not seen.No no no, why are you putting it at 1? 0 is where it should be. I put it at one as a test just now and it's dropping a minor amount of frames. (59.87) Leave that number at 0. (0 doesn't mean it's turned off or anything)
Then I chose to practice the UFO Extra. I'm not even angry, but each damn time I see those randomly raining bullets, I feel the urge to rage. Come on, I am used to predictable, static stages like IN's Extra, not to spontaneous dodging. I am actually pretty bad at dodging bullets itself, I mostly memorize things. I want a stage that I can memorize and then breeze through each damn time!
Then there is Kogasa's Guerilla Typhoon. Man, WHAT THE F-!
EX-Keine ain't got nothin' on her spell cards, difficulty-wise.

(0 doesn't mean it's turned off or anything)Thought it was an on/off switch and that the framerate was meant to be like that. xD Yeah, I did some testing and figured out that I'm a moron (surprise, surprise). My framerate without the vsync patch used to be a constant 60 with sudden jumps to 62 and drops to 58 soon after all the time. With vpatch and "vsync=0", it's pretty much a constant 60. Thanks for that.

Thanks for that.For IN, not much. IN has pretty good built in vsync (you can actually see it in the custom.exe) but vsync patch does a better job of it. The games with the most amount of input lag are EoSD, PCB, and MoF. The others are pretty good on their own. (use vsync anyway >_>) Stabilizing the fps is another feature of vsync. It'll still randomly jump occasionally, but not as much, for every game. (to an extent depending on the game obviously, and your computer)
I still don't know if the patch does anything else for me other than stabilizing the frame rate.
Eff you EoSD Reimu A. Eff you and your weak shot power. I would have gotten that 1cc if you had just been the TINIEST BIT STRONGER. Why did I have to die RIGHT AS REMILIA WAS EXPLODING?! And by RUNNING INTO A BULLET, of all things!!EXACTLY THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME. AGH.
I will never play Touhou while a friend is round ever again.Hahah, can totally relate to that.
(while fighting Sakuya)
"Those knives are strawberry flavoured!"
"SHUT THE HELL UP I'M TRYING TO FOCUS HERE"
Game over at Luna Clock.
I finished a run of IN extra yesterday 1/3.Hey, I often waste all of my resources at the end if that makes you feel better. Fujiyama is worse than Mokou Rings of Death to me and I never capture Possessed by Phoenix either, not to mention most of her later non-spells.
ONE.
THREE.
Barely scored over a billion.
Just piss off Fujiyama.
Don't worry about it. You can have my data if you'd like. http://www.mediafire.com/?9ahhpqv27ako1q9
Thanks for your help.... but there's no data in it.
Maybe its just my computer or something.
Eh? Its the score.dat file. Its all you need. Just replace this file with your own and you'll have extra unlocked. Remember that the score.dat file is stored in your AppData/Roaming/ShanghaiAlice/th128 folder. (At least with Vista)
Fuck you, Ran and your Fox Tanuki Laser and your Princess Tenko. Go die in a hole filled with fire.Princess Tenko's annoying as heck, cuz the technique's not that hard, but if you mess up the timing you're totally screwed over...
Fox-Tanuki Youkai Laser
Do that one trick with that spellcard. When Ran is about to fire the lasers, run to the top and circle around her to misdirect the bubble burst. You might have to move through a few lasers, which is normal.
CHARMING SIEGE FROM ALL SIDES
Move through the lasers? I assume you don't mean the actual lasers, just the lines before they show up.Yeah, just wait directly above Ran, then circle around down when she fires the bubble burst. It's a bit hard to move back up, so just move through the lasers' "light bases" as it has no hitbox.
It's probably possible with the first bubble burst but can you do it with the next ones? My problem with this card is that the lasers always go diagonal on me so I end up running into them.
Ran teleported right on top of meRan has no collision hitbox on that spellcard. You are having bullets being spawned on you, that is why you died.

Marisa is stronger and with a better bomb and trance.As she should be. Danmaku is all about power!
Needles are needles, shouldn't they be reliable?I thought Needle Reimu was a bit stronger than Missile Marisa. Unless the mechanics changed since the demo. Marisa's Trance is obviously stronger though.

First card sometimes just shoots you out of the blue.
Then you are doing it wrong.I don't think I'm doing it wrong. I'm pretty consistent now. It's just that it's very annoying to die and restart because of it.
10D you are pissing me off, stupid dialogue messes up my trance-timings
Apparently the invincibility time after a bomb has been DRASTICALLY reduced. Either that or Miko's second to last card's lasers ignore it.
Try to collect as many spirits as you can so they won't heal Yoshika.
I do not press the C button because I think it looks cute. I press it because I would like you to save me from death.Corrected.
I don't want to see Marisa shitting out grey spirits.
ATTN: Ten DesiresMamizou's last card.
I do not press the X button because I think it looks cute. I press it because I would like you to bomb.
Oh my God Scarlet Meister is really fucking aggravating.Upload the whole thing when you're done. I'm having a hard time getting past Stage 3 with
Reimu 1/157 Marisa 0/197 Youmu 1/95THATS NOTHING
Oh didn't realize that dude updated the ultra patches a while ago, this time UFO ultra is much more reasonable. In a technical sense, anyway. Stuff is passable... Just very very difficult (an improvement from borderline impossible). Fun nonetheless. Byakuran's final is God tier.
But it wrecks my shit and is pissing me off with it passable but ass-kick difficulty now :I
Uuurgh, I'm giving up on timing out #111. It seems to involve getting lucky about 15 times in a row ...
Pretty fun card, though.
What do you mean 15 times in a row? Stream more slowly.You can stream downward slowly, but you need to dash up quickly to avoid turning everything into a clusterfuck (even then, everything turns into a clusterfuck half of the time).
Replays or videos of that would be awesome, although it's understandable if you don't want to publish a failed run :V.
I hope I can contribute with an EoSD Ultra video soon, but this far my tries have been on-topic with this thread only, not the accomplishment one...
Well I had a run get to Byakuren's second last card,
Goddammit why is there no patch that makes the stage progression go faster in just Vanilla TD?
Would make the game a whole lot more fun to play. :|
Goddamn I can't get past Stage 1 without dying.
Replay? :3
Fuck it, Killing Doll is easier than Marrionette.
I thought this was established truth? Marionette's wrap-around is absolute bullshit compared to Killing Doll.Agreeing to this one.
Goddammit why is there no patch that makes the stage progression go faster in just Vanilla TD?This as well.
Would make the game a whole lot more fun to play. :|

-plays UFO

Since when are stage 2 bosses so hard ;__;
I don't care what the game fucking says, I FUCKING BEAT MAMIZOU.
Two lives to spare, one second left on the survival card, I bomb...and the game FUCKING CRASHES ANYWAY.
WHAT THE FUCKING HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU ZUN, TEST YOUR FUCKING GAME.
He did. That's why there's a patch out for it. Install it already.
Doesn't that just mean Mamizou's survival was too tricky for its creator? :V
It's possible that it never crashed for him.
You are probably destined by fate to have that sort of thing happen to you at least once while trying to 1cc EoSD. Don't give up on it though, you can do it!
*bombs on Scarlet Gensokyo* Alright, two bombs left, I can do this! I can 1cc Hard at last!
*runs into bubble bullet* WHAT NO NO NO NO I WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE INVINCIBILITY SHIELD FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU--
Yeah...during my quest to 1cc normal on Marisa B a similar thing happened. Then I broke the computer. That was dumb.
Urgh. What the fuck, that Ultra patch makes Aya completely ridiculous. I don't see how any of this is supposed to be dodgable. Damn, it would be nice and convinient if you could turn off that auto-bombing so you don't blow the attacks away before you get a chance to try and dodge them.
2nd non-spell dies so quickly if you bomb so I never got to attempt dodging it.
4 spare lives should be legitimately possible. I think you could do 5 spare lives with TAS.
Because the only spellcard in Ultra Suwako's fight that is truly BS is Froggy. The others are at least theoretically possible, but there's some other stuff that's pretty much BS as well.
And as for Normal Suwako, why can I not stop derping 7 stones, Froggy, and Suwa War?
Am I the only one who thinks midboss Nue is harder than Mamizou?I think Nue's difficulty is more concentrated, but I consistently capture 1 of her 3 spells. Mamizou I consistently get at least half of her attacks, but 2-3 of her 10 spells.
Because seriously.

I think you could dodge Croaking with luck or TAS.
Remilia, stop fucking killing me at your opener when I have 3 bombs in stock. It's getting old.This is so me. I misread the hitboxes in her opener all the time. I kind of lost the count of how many times I find a "safe" place, stop there to look to the next wave and then pichuun.
Also, why is UFO hard so, well, hard? SA hard I cleared in about 5 tries, 10D hard in about 5, MoF hard in about 10 (mostly due to VoWG), UFO hard I can't get through Stage 3!
The early stages of UFO aren't filler. The difficulty actually exists!I'm still making way more mistakes than I should be, as I've captured everything through Stage 2 but ALWAYS die to it stupidly somewhere, Ichirin has too many lasers/pink bullets behind pink fists that I can't see. I fail at reading lasers too. I'm sure if I could GET to Stage 4, I'd make a million stupid mistakes there too.

Also, I just tried to perfect IN easy, died to Red Eyes Hypnosis, which I find HARDER on easy/normal than on hard/lunatic.Nope. For easy don't bother trying any of the tricks from normal to lunatic. Just stay at the bottom and dodge. There's huge gaps but the way reisen shifts the bullets causes the normal method not to work.
My inability to 1cc UFO normal with MarisaB is really getting annoying. Just had a 3rd failure to Flying Fantastica, with about a half dozen stupid deaths with bombs in stock. Murasa went horribly, Ichirin went 1DNB, Kogasa was 1DNB, Shou went about as well as you'd expect, and Byakuren got a cheap hit on me on the first spell and the final nonspell.
I've 1cced every other windows Touhou game on every possible normal with every shot type, so WHY IS THIS ONE SO HARD!?!?!?
Also, why is UFO hard so, well, hard? SA hard I cleared in about 5 tries, 10D hard in about 5, MoF hard in about 10 (mostly due to VoWG), UFO hard I can't get through Stage 3!
Okay, SA, you... are odd.
Since when does someone unable to clear Stage 5 on Normal clear Stage 4 on Hard...?
Only to die from trying to PoC Orin?
Vengeful Cannibal Spirit can go to hell
But that is by far the easiest card she has. There are Stage 2 cards more difficult than this one. Before UFO. Are you sure you just don't know how to handle it?
Go check out a replay. I believe that you should be able to handle it with ease if you get the right approach down.
Dear Orin, why are you so difficult?
Everyone thinks Orin is hard.Exactly. Even Orin's third nonspell isn't too threatening when you know the pattern.
Then they fight Shou and realise that Orin, in comparison, is nothing. Apart from her 3rd nonspell and Ghost Wheels obv.
Exactly. Even Orin's third nonspell isn't too threatening when you know the pattern.
I was doing a pacifist attempt at Shizuha when Marisa showed up, then THIS happened :(
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbJx9vfTuMM
Koishi, please stop clipping me with your fucking heart danmaku KTHNX.When I cleared I had a 0/3 on Rorschach, a 3/4 on Id and a 1/4 on Superego I think. There is definitely something wrong with that.
I have captured Rorschach in Danmaku. I have not captured Release of the Id or Superego. I think there is something wrong with this picture.
> Play SA Hard with Reimu ABut Yuugi is easy! It's a certain OTHER Stage 3 boss that eats my lives *cough*Ichirin*cough*
> No death first two stages
> Lose everything to Yuugi
> Try again with Marisa C
> Same thing happens
Yuugi diaf
You do have the patch right?
Ah! No I don't. I didn't realize there was one. I take it the crashing thing is a common problem, and the patch fixes it? Well then... I thought it was just my computer. :V
Murasa being the easiest is a lie.
I don't see anything wrong with this spellcard in Marine Benefit.I don't see anything too.

Also, derp derp derp 1cc 10D hard, with lolzy deaths everywhere, including dying to Miko's piss easy 2nd spell and the lol 3rd spell.haha, sounds like my 1cc of that hard.
I can't for the life of me clear UFO normal with MarisaB! And this is after coming out of a MoF and SA 1cc.Been there, done that, best of luck getting it.
and now a fourth Hourai Doll failure: this one has me faceplanting a yellow...with about 5 seconds left!Use more Remilia. :3
Ugh, WHY is "Protection of Zenki and Goki" so impossible without a homing type? I'll never get to Yukari with more than 2 lives if I continue to die twice to that card.It shouldn't be hard at all. Just stream left and right until the card ends. Do you have a replay to show how you're doing it with a non-homing shot?
IMO Ran is harder than Chen when you're not using Sakuya A or Reimu A. Half the time I don't even see what kills me on her first card. Chen's is easier because you can stream down and she actually takes damage from your bombs.
I'm streaming it from left to right but I always end up screwing up somehow. I think it's just showing how much I suck at this game because I can't dodge the random stuff and stream at the same time.
I would post a replay but for some reason I can't find the replay folder in my PCB folder.
Use more Remilia. :3But I don't like using Remilia...
Bomb every noncard and grind spells in practice.
What? My SA score data was deleted? What is this magic?Same thing happened to my MoF score data just now, wtf happened?
Same thing happened to my MoF score data just now, wtf happened?That happened to mine a couple weeks back.
I'm really, really wishing EoSD had a spell practice mode. Listen game, I can already do stage 3, it's Meiling's spell cards that are doing me in. Heck, if I can do Masakado Crisis without taking down familiars, I should not be having this much trouble with Gorgeous Sweet Flower, it's the same damn thing minus the big round bullets. Also, Extreme Color Typhoon can go die. The only card I have any sort of consistency on is Wind Chime of Colorful Rainbow of all things.Is this normal? If so, dodge Gorgeous Sweet Flower at the bottom of the screen and bomb without a single regret if you need (sometimes I do this with Marisa if I'm unsure she'll fit between the bullets). Extreme Color Typhoon requires you to keep your character on the bottom but look to about the middle of screen (I can only dodge accelerating bullets like this).
That being said, once I get that far (a few continues later), I'm actually enjoying fighting Sakuya in stage 5, even if her midboss section is just brutal. I hate Misdirection with a passion...

Misdirection is a trap. Remain stopped at the initial burst and then start tapping away from the direction Sakuya moves (she'll teleport to the other end). This card was an autobomb for me until I read advice here and watched replays. Today that card is an autocapture :P
You didn't mention Flower Dream Vine.
You're going to LOVE Flower Dream Vine.
EDIT: Just checked it know (when the internet decided to behave), and unless I've got the wrong spell card, it just looks like a faster version of Diamond Blizzard with bigger bullets. That said, a lot of things look far easier on videos than they do when trying to capture them...It is nothing like Diamond Blizzard, where bullets basically move down, cuz the bullets are moving in all kinds of directions,
@I have no name: The best thing about UFO hard is that the stageportion of Stage 5 seems to be nearly the same as Lunatic, or at least I couldn't see much of a difference. Maybe the bullet-spam at the end has two more bullets in total.So I'm basically playing a lunatic stage. That doesn't sound like a good thing.
Fudge. Damn Kanako i absolutely hate her non spell, in which she becomes invincible for a time being -.- and cold fingers, decreasing my performance!I can definitely relate to the cold fingers thing. I find it hard to do almost anything when my digits are less than warm. Probably better for your sanity to just wait til they're not feeling so frozen then try again.
Aya's storm day -- raaaaaeg.!!1111.Agreed on that, it was the only thing of Aya's I died to in my clear.
Why is the difficulty gap between hard and lunatic so huge for Ten Desires? Hard gave me no trouble, but I have trouble with the stage 1 midboss on lnuatic!
Its always huge. Its nothing exclusive to TD.I didn't notice a huge gap for TH 6-9, I did notice one for MoF though, but I bombed pretty much the same placed I bombed on hard and died about the same places as well.

TD hard was easy, TD lunatic is "no just no".
But Lunatic probably touches closer to the rest of the series' Lunatic or something.
UFO Lunatic 90fps! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4p-NKrKEF9g)I love you.
UFO Lunatic 90fps! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4p-NKrKEF9g)Oh come on.
HOW did you get 6 3/4 going into Kogasa, I always have 5 3/4, except once on hard (my clear) where I somehow got 1 extra red UFO.
Why is it so hard to capture Extreme Color Typhoon? That's 2 perfect Stage 3 (normal) runs RUINED there.
UUUUUAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!! I was pretty close at an EoSD Lunatic 1cc, but Remilia was insane as usual. I derped on her easiest non-spell. (and clip death on opener) That was not a bad run either, that's the best run I've had at lunatic, and highest score by far! I'm so very close.I checked out that replay and saw that Cirno's opener ate two of your bombs. If I may offer some advice, and maybe you alreay know this, but you can just micro-dodge those walls of bullets. The first one is a little tight, so I usually direct that one towards the edge, avoid it completely, then move to the center for the other two.
Okuu's first spell is pissing me off.Make that 5 times. What is wrong with me.
I have failed it 4 times in a row, when I had a 50% capture rate on it (when I tried to capture it and didn't bomb) before this.
Scarlet Gensokyo is currently the last card on Hard mode that I haven't captured.trolololol I got that spell captured in a no focus run of hard mode.
I came close the other day. I got the full power item to clear the first wave, everything went as planned.
And then I got a double K.O.
RAAAAGE.
THE FIRST 5 SECONDS OF MEGA FLARE WALL MEGot through Mega Flare, then got walled by the last nonspell. Twice. Then I choked Hell and Heaven Meltdown before ragequitting.
Got through Mega Flare, then got walled by the last nonspell. Twice. Then I choked Hell and Heaven Meltdown before ragequitting.How are you doing the last nonspell? You got a replay?
Why can't I get this perfect, I should have had it by now.
Got through Mega Flare, then got walled by the last nonspell. Twice. Then I choked Hell and Heaven Meltdown before ragequitting.Yeah, that nonspell should never be able to wall you if do it right. I believe the idea is to be on the side that Okuu moves away from. If you watch your own replay you'd probobly see one side of the screen is really open while the other is really dense. I generally move over while streaming the bubbles.
Why can't I get this perfect, I should have had it by now.
This is all I have to say. (http://i.imgur.com/3DSqY.png)All the freaking time.
This is all I have to say. (http://i.imgur.com/3DSqY.png)I don't get it.
I don't get it.Hint: 2909.83 fps
Hint: 2909.83 fpsI saw that, but assumed it was a replay glitch or something.
Hint: 2909.83 fpsMaybe. I was confused by the 60 in the screen.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Marisa is too fat.
Thing is, I've been dying to find out actual stats for hitbox sizes in SA, so that I can judge Marisa's more fairly. I think you provided the ones for UFO way back when, but do you have SA's?
Stop trying to skirt along hitbox boundaries and just dodge the bullets.
Playing SA with Marisa is like playing Mushi Futari with one of those dragons from Dragon Blaze. :V
Timing out Seiga's overdrive.1 second, I couldn't describe my current emotions without getting banned for my use of words.
ReimuC is the only good character for ramming into heart bullets in Embers of Love, and Subterranean Rose.I don't get it. Why are you trying to ram bullets at all during those two cards?
During a bomb, of course.
I don't get it. Why are you trying to ram bullets at all during those two cards?You try using ReimuA's bomb to clear bullets via ramming.
And regarding hitboxes to follow up on Naut, an initial look at Marisa's hitbox in SA makes me think it's the same as in UFO. Well, the visual looks the same at least, I don't know if the actual hitbox is different.
Hint: 2909.83 fpsOh, I thought it was you having a full stock of lives when the point bonus was near.
Oh, I thought it was you having a full stock of lives when the point bonus was near.Stage practice, because the max possible lives at that point with that point item count would be 6.
Of course, it might easily just be me who just sucks or something but for all its worth, this is why I don't like the attack.It's not just you. That's a god-awful spell, and your complaints are well founded. Personally I find myself despising bubble bullets more and more. They just cover up everything else with their giant sprites and make you wonder where the stupid hitboxes actually are.
In addition to the omnidirectional bubbles, there is also that stupid ring of arrows, where if I try to dodge it, I get hit, and if I don't pay attention, they often just slip by magically.
I captured that spell by sitting in the bottom right area and praying.My 6 attempts had 2 arrow ring hits, 3 bubble hits (1 hitbox misread, 1 bullet misread, and 1 derp) and 1 capture.
Can't imagine timing it out... In addition to the omnidirectional bubbles, there is also that stupid ring of arrows, where if I try to dodge it, I get hit, and if I don't pay attention, they often just slip by magically.
hide small stars behind big ones on Milky Way
I swear Marisa, if you were not so outright cheap for a Stage 4 Boss [Seriously, I find her attacks harder to dodge than Stage 6 bosses!], I'd use the Border Team and have cleared IN by now.Marisa isn't as cheap as a certain other Stage 4 boss (Aya and her clipdeath rings of nonspells), and SOME parts of Marisa (first midboss card) are harder than SOME parts of final bosses, but as a whole final bosses are harder IMO
But no, you have to send literal walls of stars at me in your nonspells, , hide small stars behind big ones on Milky Way, force me to rely on luck 90% of the time with NDL, obliterate me with Master Spark, and just swamp me while penning me into an inescapable fate with Light Ray.The nonspells are annoying, I usually bomb all of them on my difficulty of choice (since you didn't specify one and you're using the easy/normal names, and you're complaining about Earth Light Ray, I'm assuming normal difficulty), Milky Way is random and annoying (also, Touhou has a Z-sort making the larger bullets lower down just to prevent that complaint-you're just missing the small star over the larger sprite), NDL has no luck at all, use large movements to redirect the smaller stars, Master Spark is easily redirectable, but the screen-shaking is a complication until it doesn't affect you, Earth Light Ray can be dodged with big movements every other aimed barrage of stars (i.e., move left, to the center, right, reverse back to the center, back to the left, repeat). Earth Light Ray is definitely the harder part of Marisa on normal though.
Seriously. The number of times I'm boxed in, with a solid wall of stars flying at me is absurd.Hitboxes: very rarely is the 'solid' wall actually solid.
Subterranean Animism lunatic at 90fps...Naut Sign: bomb everything
Naut, I wonder if you would be able to do either MoF or IN Easy at 180 fps.
I've managed to get to Mountain of Faith on my first try at MoF, and after a couple tries I managed to make it to Eirin's second last nonspell in IN.
I seriously think you would be able to do it.
edit: last 3 seconds. And yes, it was one of those "invisible" bullets. Up until that point 16 seconds was my best try and I destroyed that one myself ("oh lol let's move into a bullet"), I was at least able to blame myself entirely. Not so much anymore. *sigh*I'm making progress aswell. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=17197)
In any case: our runs can't be compared. You use Youmu, bigger hitbox, faster. You've got it way harder than I do with Reimu. I admire your efforts but just thinking about doing this with Youmu sends me in a metaphorical fit of undying rage.I've most likely wasted more runs into this card than you have, and I'm rather used to Youmu's unfocused speed, since I've done a lot of stuff on her. I quess I like playing her more than I do border team. Also, Youmu's speed actually gives you a couple of possible dodgin' options you don't have on Reimu (or at least I didn't have when I did my first timeout of the card on border team, focusing almost all the way). However, Youmu does make me want to swear when I have to micrododge stuff.
Looking at your replay: ... and the ninja bullet strikes again (indirectly). I feel your pain.
Also, Youmu's speed actually gives you a couple of possible dodgin' options you don't have on ReimuI agree, when I did a normal timeout with Yuyuko I was rather limited in my options of dodging due to low speed. But great
I've most likely wasted more runs into this card than you have,No you haven't, I'm at 600 too (add the 1000 I needed with Yuyuko if you want). Though my first close try was at about 100 attempts in (the one described above). After that, every time I got close - a ninja appears.
However, Youmu does make me want to swear when I have to micrododge stuff.And therein lies the true power of the ninja bullets when going for a no focus. If you can't evade it by going up/down, you're screwed. ... well and if you can't even see them coming... ... let's not talk about this.
Sea Opening "The Day the Sea Split". Gah.Ah, I remember struggling with that spell for the longest time. I'll link you to my ancient no focus clear (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zsVrKfvK2Y) of the game, that spell is 16:57 in.
On the verge of punching the computer because of hourai jewel on lunatic level. Fuck sake, it is making me give up on a lunatic 1cc.2 lives going into it is plenty though if you bomb every stream turn.

Though that 10M spell bonus...
If the mighty .ASP is losing to that spell then what hope does the rest of us have. :V
Naut can capture that card at 100% success rate. You should look up to him.
NO, Windows Update. No one told you that it was okay to restart my computer in the middle of a really great run. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT.
And as I type this I see a little balloon telling me new updates are available. DON'T FUCKING MOCK ME.
GAH I'm really pissed now.
EoSD Normal 1cc attempt. Best one so far( got to Sakuya with 6 lifes, left with 4).
During Scarlet Shoot: BSoD.
RAAAAAAGE :getdown:
*waits for new hardware to arrive finally*
(It's more of a stability issue rather than a performance issue, to be clear :V)
My PC is only 3 years old and constantly putting out BSoD, even during the PC98-Touhous.
Defective and/ or failing hardware seems to be the problem, therefore I ordered a new Mainboard(ASUS, at the moment I have an ASRock one) + new prozessor + upgrading from 2GB to 8GB RAM. My good old GeForce 9400 never disappointed me.(Though I plan to buy a new one as soon as possible...) I'm on XP btw.
Windows Update keeps bugging me to restart the computer right now too , haha:P
Failed my 2nd attempt at a Touhou 12 Normal Difficulty 1CC. Failed on Byakuren's second spellcard by running into a bullet because of not paying attention.That's Byakuren's only spell I have a perfect capture record of with ReimuA. In fact, it's the only spell I have a perfect capture record of (on normal) with ReimuA.
I learned that timing out Nazrin's nonspell in stage 5 does not allow you to bypass her spell. >=O
Bomb the hell out of that spell for more UFO's.
That's Byakuren's only spell I have a perfect capture record of with ReimuA. In fact, it's the only spell I have a perfect capture record of (on normal) with ReimuA.You can always count on me to fail on the most trivial things, because my mental focus is about as steady as the stock market (bad analogy lol).
Also, ND1B IN easy, and the bomb was for score.This sounds like it belongs in the Accomplishments thread. :)
WHY MUST YOU TORMENT ME I HAD THE PERFECT SCREW IT I THINK I'LL COUNT THAT
Geesh, ten minutes of practice and I can already see what's wrong with my approach as well as my attitude in general.Damn, that's pretty harsh on yourself.
...I thought had a legitimate shot at actually beating Flandre on only my third try.Wow, you almost beat Flandre on only your third attempt? Doesn't sound too much like a rage moment other than the fact that your keyboard BS'd you.
>five consecutive deaths with bombs in stock despite pressing the X button on four of themIt does sound like your keyboard has serious issues. Of all things, it's this sort of problem that makes me RAGE. What kind of keyboard do you use?
This sounds like it belongs in the Accomplishments thread. :)It would if I hadn't bombed for score. On Stage 1. Sort of like a reverse choke only for scoring.
Hour and a half of constant attempts on Byakuren. Not a single one captured both her first spell card and second non-spell. -_- I swear, there must still be something I'm missing here.
As for the second nonspell, it's bullshit only if you try to do it "normally" because you have to contend with those lasers that randomly activate far away from the others. When I try to capture it, I always do the large back-and-forth streaming motions (I usually call it "Krim-style" since he was the first one I saw perform it like that). Not that that method is easy in and of itself, but I prefer just not dealing with the lasers at all.So there are other people who do it that way. I thought I may have been imagining that it's easier that way.
I wouldn't quite call Good Omen bullshit. It's an exercise in precision, albeit one that's arguably greater than anything SA has to offer, which is saying something. Donut, you might want to consider dodging stuff a bit higher than the bottom of the screen, even if just for a moment in each wave, if you aren't doing that already.

So that would mean that the "normal" method is just tap-streaming? If so, then I see why it might seem like BS.
