Let's see...Everything cleared except UFO and TD lunatic, most lunatic patterns captured (working towards all of them but hitting a roadblock in Vajra), MoF perfect stages 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and extra, no focus hard, no vertical hard, no bombs hard, working towards a NB lunatic, perfect PCB extra, 222/222 spells captured with Ghost Team in IN, all spells captured in TD, a whole bunch of other random crap i can't be bothered to list again.
Oh and 1DNB fights with Patchy, Sakuya (dozens), Alice, Youmu (choke on last spell), Reimu, Marisa, Reisen (a dozen), Satori, Utsuho, Seiga and Futo.

(http://i995.photobucket.com/albums/af71/Dan_hz/eosds6.png)
My personal best, a "1 Miss" run of EoSD Stage 6. I died on the second wave of Scarlet Meister, but I died a second time out of frustration (opting to shotgun her until it's over) and bombed right afterwards for the same reason (too lazy to get all my power back), so essentially a 2D1B run. That explains the end resources (2/2 instead of 4/3), but it's just as good as a 1DNB run in my books. (especially since the bomb didn't interfere with Scarlet Gensokyo - the game even factored it as a capture)

Here's my list of all bosses left to perfect. Bold means a 1DNB or ND1B fight, so there are 19 I haven't come close to (13 if you count extra bosses since I'm close to all of them just not 1 mistake close). I'm...a lot closer than I thought I was.
So why is this an accomplishment? Because midboss Nazrin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQUsI1B-2zY) isn't on that list.

nope. Maybe eventually but I'm not going through a 5 minute stage for 1 crack at a boss that I have a very low chance of getting.

That is just awesome lol
Also, as a reference:
(http://i48.tinypic.com/1195aio.png)
Normals all cleared with every shottype (teams in IN, not all solos because repetetive much). Haven't really got into trying to perfect stages. EoSd, PCB, IN, UFO, TD normals cleared no focus no bomb. TD easy was pacifist no bombs (from Nitori challenge generator). Might start trying to do all shot types on hard since no focus no bomb for MoF and SA is becoming a pain.
EDIT: MS Extra clear! This has been a pain in the ass for me for a long time, mostly because I am stubborn and REALLY like to perfect stage portions of extras. I had 4 attempts fail last night on the final attack after finally reaching it for the first time. Today I finally managed to not forget to bomb during the final phase and cleared. The sad part? IT WASN'T EVEN A HIGH SCORE... One of my runs that ended on the final attack was somewhere around 95 million and my clear only netted me 86 mil because I didn't end alices phases right to get maximum items. Also I failed easy phases (second blue one :(, purple ones) reducing my item value. God those purple phases HATE me, and they are so goddamn simple. I will probably continue to play it just so I can say I got the score counter to go into hexadecimal, since I know I am capable, having perfected the entire stage up to the cheeto laser phase once.
-
Cleared PCB, EoSD and MoF Lunatic for the first time on one very fun weekend. I hope to get better at these games and duplicate some of the crazy perfect stage stuff that Jaimers, Funen and Zengeku and the rest of the crew get up to.
Made it to Shou (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24331) today. But "to" and "past" are very, VERY different things.

My accomplishments. (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,8095.msg518853.html#msg518853) (I'm proud of them.)

Well I just cleared EoSD Extra with ReimuB, which only leaves ReimuA left before I've cleared it with all shot types. I still have to unlock her first though, so I'm trying to 1cc EoSD Lunatic with her... This might take a while. My only deaths in EoSD Extra were to Flandre's last two cards, which makes me somewhat hopeful for a perfect run, but I have no patience to play through a bunch of boring stuff to see if I can capture those two in the same run. It'd be better if there were other somewhat challenging things in the stage, but the only other fun thing is Patchouli, but Flandre herself is, for the most part, boring.
As for an achievement list, since that seems to be the thing to do:
EoSD: Lunatic 1cc with MarisaB, Extra clear with all but ReimuA
PCB: Lunatic 1cc with ReimuB and MarisaA, Extra clear, Phantasm clear, all spell cards captured
IN: Lunatic 1cc with Border team, Extra clear, 75% or so spell cards captured
MoF: Lunatic 1cc with ReimuA and B, Extra clear, all spell cards captured except for VoWG and 2 of Suwako's cards
SA: Lunatic 1cc with all Reimu shot types, Extra clear, stages 1-3 perfected as ReimuA
UFO: Lunatic 1cc with SanaeB, Extra clear with all shot types
TD: Lunatic 1cc with Reimu, Extra clear with Reimu and Marisa
-
Well here are some that I can remember.
EoSD:
Lunatic 1cc (4/4 shot types)
Lunatic No Focus 1cc
Stage 3 NMNB/No Focus
NMNB Patchouli (2/4 shot types)
1MNB Stage 6
Hard No Focus/No Bomb 1cc (2/4 shot types)
Extra No Miss No Bomb(2/4 shot types)
PCB:
Lunatic 1cc (2/6 shot types)
Lunatic No Bombs 1cc
NMNB Stages 1-5
Extra NMNB/No Focus(2/6 shot types)
Extra NMNB (4/6 shot types)
Phantasm NMNB
IN: Lunatic 1cc, Extra NM
MoF: Lunatic 1cc (2/6 shot types)
Extra NMNB (3/6 shot types)
Extra 924M NMNB
SA: Hard 1cc, Extra clear
UFO: Normal 1cc (lol), Extra clear
TD: Lunatic 1cc, Extra clear
Haven't played any photo games or pc-98 games yet. My view on Touhou is quite narrow.
By the way, I'm never touching SA / UFO Lunatic
-
Not much, no Lunatics :( TBH, haven't really done anything I'm proud of except maybe *this* a little bit.
EoSD - Reimu B Normal 1cc, Marisa A Normal 1cc, Reimu B Extra 2 death 0 bomb clear (just cant perfect)
PCB - Reimu B Normal, Extra & Phantasm 1cc
IN - Youmu/Yuyu Normal (6B) and Extra 1cc, Mari/Ali Normal (6B) 1cc, Reimu/Yukari Normal (6B) 1cc, Sakuya/Remi easy (6B) 1cc, Youmu/Yuyu Hard (6B) 1cc, Mari/Ali Extra clear, Reimu/yukari Extra clear, Reimu solo Hard (6B) 1cc, Yukari solo easy (6B) 1cc
All spells unlocked except 6B Lunatic ones, all captured except Imperishable Shooting and 222, Possessed by Phoenix no focus capture with Youmu/Yuyu, Fujiyama Volcano Ultra capture with Youmu/Yuyu, *Fujiyama Volcano 90 fps no focus timeout with Youmu/Yuyu*, Fujiyama Volcano 120 fps no vertical capture Yukari solo IIRC, Fujiyama Volcano 180 fps capture with Youmu/Yuyu and Yukari solo, Remi's Last word 90 fps timeout with Youmu/Yuyu (lol)
MoF - Needle Reimu Normal & Extra 1cc
SA - Reimu A Normal 1cc
UFO - Needle Reimu and Laser Marisa Normal up to Byakuren's second spell IIRC.
Kinda-sorta trying (read: would like to but have no motivation or ability to keep trying)
EoSD - Hard 1cc with Reimu B or Marisa A, Reimu B Extra Perfect, Reimu B no bombs Ultra Extra clear, Reimu B Pacifist Extra
PCB - Hard 1cc with Missile Marisa or Sakuya A (best I've done is 1st continue at stage 5 then 3 more at Yuyu with Marisa, 4th "real" attempt)
IN - Fujiyama Volcano 120 fps timeout with either Youmu/Yuyu or Yukari solo, ****ing hard
UFO - Normal 1cc with Needle Reimu or Laser Marisa
-
Oh, it's that tiem again.
PCB:
-Normal 1cc with all B-Type shots
-All Normal maingame spells captured
-Extra Clear with Reimu-B and Sakuya-B
-Phantasm Clear with Reimu-B
-Hard 5cc with Reimu B is pretty normal for me to pull off, so it's a start
MoF
-Normal 1cc with Reimu B
-Extra (stage only) clear, also Reimu B
-All Normal maingme spells captured
Uh...Yeah, that's pretty much all.
-
My latest accomplishment: I finally perfected Ran (same policy as my Suwako run, bombing for score during the stage portion allowed). I would have had this a while ago if it weren't for Charming Siege ending so many attempts.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPbVtQQTJ_k
Accomplishment list? Here goes:
- All* standard Touhou games 1cc on Lunatic, plus HRtP and GFW
*defined as integer games from 4-8, 10+
- 1DNBNT TD Hard in a full run
- MoF Hard no-death 1cc
- Perfect Nue, Flandre, Suwako, Ran
- Perfect stage 3 in MS, EoSD, PCB, IN, TD, SA, MoF
- Perfect stage 5 in PCB
Hmm... seems a little short. I wonder if I'm forgetting something.
-
Well okay. Serious list time:
Cleared all games on Lunatic except for the first three ones because they suck and Mystic Square because it's fucking boring until you hit Stage 5. Tried once. Got to one of Shinki's final attacks. Then my soul was crushed at the thought of going through early stages again.
Cleared all scenes in Shoot the Bullet and Double Spoiler, in the case of the latter game: many times and with both characters.
No-bomb clears of MoF and SA Lunatic. Both remarkably kuso in their own right. Maybe a better one of MoF will happen one day because at least that game's early game doesn't drive me nuts with slow-paced tedious bullshit.
Timeouts of... a few things worthy of mention. VoWG, SFN, UBS and probably some other stuff i'm failing to remember right now.
No-miss no-bomb no-trances no-cherry border breaks for all bosses except for:
Patchouli, Sakuya, Remilia, Flandre, Yukari, Kaguya, Eirin, Reimu, Mokou, Byakuren, Futo, Miko and Mamizou
In other words, a collection of dickheads who hides behind stupidly crap stages, only one hard/possibly stupid attack in an otherwise boring/possibly hard battle, using crap hitboxes or just being a general pain in the ass. I think this description suits those bosses fairly well. List doesn't include the PC98 games for obvious reasons.
-
Are fangame accomplishments ok? I'm pretty crap at the canon games but have spent an inordinate amount of time challenging myself on doujin games.
I did manage to 1cc UFO on hard and capture every card along the way last night, though. First time I've done that on any game :V
-
Double post, i apologize but I've actually got an accomplishment for once. Not a perfect accomplishment, it's filled with stupid but an accomplishment still. Murasa. Pacifist. 2 deaths.
This would normally be a worthless performance but the thing is that the 2 deaths were on 2nd non-spell and the final spell. The shitty survival one. It's my fifth battle with her since trying this so everything considered i'm pretty satisfied for now.
I'll probably return to try for perfect pacifism but I survived everything in the battle that's worth mentioning so similarly with the SA Stage 5 No-miss All attacks captured run I'll accept this for now.
Also because my performance on Vortex and 3rd non was pretty cool. If nothing else, I'll upload the three attacks that actually went right because I think that those might be worth a watch.
By the way, I'm never touching SA / UFO Lunatic
Why not? If you seriously started playing in January of 2012 then you've become quite decent quite fast. Which means you're either quite dedicated or quite talented. It would be a shame if you didn't spend some of that on SA or UFO Lunatic. They are great games and a really tough challenge. Don't miss out.

Another "1 Miss" EoSD Stage 6 run, again to Scarlet Meister. Score is 70M this time around.
Too bad the replay doesn't exist; I got out of the absolute edge of the screen twice during Scarlet Gensokyo. Crazy shit.

27820 grazes during Marine Benefit Extra with ReimuA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJfvxkFATn4).
As far as I'm aware, this is a world record for grazes. Though there's plenty of room for improvement, WR isn't saying much considering the lack of competition. Still, pretty happy with this run.

Now I have an SA clear and am working towards UFO.

Apology "Needles of Yore and Tortured Spirits" timeout. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y73D81DCZlo)
...I have absolutely no idea how this happened. I've never even captured this card before. I've never even come close to capturing this card before.
It was like...I was doing it to attempt a timeout of Orin's last card, but figured I may as well go for this one since I had a life to spare, and somehow I managed to terrified flail in just the right way constantly. And my heart is still pounding out of my chest right now.
EDIT: Also, euphoria, because holy crap I actually just did this.
-
EDIT: Also, euphoria, because holy crap I actually just did this.
If you were me, you'd be so amazed that you would forget to save the replay. <_<
That's awesome though. The next logical step would be to perfect Orin on your way to a lunatic 1cc.
Speaking of unintentional timeouts, Aura of Justice. Thing's impossible to capture on 1 power.
-
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24345
My personal best 1cc of this game yet.
1 Miss, cleared with 8 lives in stock.
Full on survival, I don't even know how I broke 1b (my first in PCB)
That second last attack was pretty interesting. I really dislike that attack. With MarisaA it's pretty easy but with ReimuB it just takes too long. Cue getting trapped by a bubble.
Bombed the hell out of 80% reflowering because I felt insecure after dying.
-
Made a Magical Singular Day clear. Moderate difficulty: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22EKHBQFB0A
Auto-bombs enabled in order to counter issues with ghosting, me being a pussy and me finding danmakufu controls being weird even with the vsync patch. Doesn't make the clear less interesting to watch though, i think. Auto-bombs means that I don't have to worry about getting tagged by some stray bullet so I get to make a lot of crazy improvized dodges and I do get away with them quite a few times.
This script is amazing fun. Go play it people. And if are less of a pussy than I am, do it without the auto-bombs.
PS: The final attack is fucking amazing. There's no other words to describe it. Fantastic.
-
(http://i995.photobucket.com/albums/af71/Dan_hz/eosdCHOKE.png)
Oh.
This was my first time getting past Scarlet Meister.
I was that close.
72.6M final. Can officially claim 1DNB S6, too.
-
Wow, that sucks, but I guess progress is progress. Wall or stupid clip?
-
Unforced error.
-
okay, something small, but still pretty cool. everyone's always saying asteroid belt is sooooooooo difficult. I've seen people having some major problems with it. I was like "it's not that hard, people" and timed it out :v
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24349
it really wasn't once I knew how the tiny star walls were flying. then stupid clips. blah blah, 23 attempts and I won. :v
-
Another topic, another list, huh? Here's mine.
All games 1CC'd on Normal.
HRtP, LLS, MS, EoSD, PCB, IN (Final A and Final B), PoFV, MoF, all 1CC'd on Hard.
HRtP and PoFV 1CC'd on Lunatic.
The Dream Twins, the Grimoire of Alice, Flandre Scarlet, Ran and Yukari Yakumo, Mokou Fujiwara, Suwako Moriya, Koishi Komeiji, Nue Houjuu, and Mamizou Futatsuiwa defeated. The entire Prismriver Trio unlocked in PoFV.
All Last Words captured in Imperishable Night.
Not bad, I guess. Although it's been about two, two and a half years since I started playing (when the Weather Patch for Hisoutensoku was out, not the full English Patch), I only started 1CCing more than Lotus Land Story back on July 4th of last year, with a Normal Clear of EoSD.
-
I did it.
I captured Scarlet Meister and Scarlet Gensokyo.
That's another 1DNB.
Too bad I died to Young Demon Lord. *headdesk*
I don't think I can get any ~closer~ after this run and the one I posted above. Expect my spamposts to finally die down now.
edit: Just captured Meister in the next run. That's two runs in a row.
-
Mind sharing your strategy for Meister?
What I do is start on her right for the first wave. And stream to the left.
And then I alternate between left and right.
-
I randomly decided to try MoF stage 5 with ReimuB without bombing, and unexpectedly perfected Sanae on the second attempt that reached her. Takeminakata Invocation (which I haven't memorized a path for, it's the card of Sanae's I'm least consistent at with ReimuA) suddenly seems much easier when it ends in like 50-60% of the time.
However, with ReimuB, the stage portion seems to be more difficult than Sanae is (as opposed to being mostly trivial with ReimuA), so I don't have another stage perfect yet.

I'm a brickhead when it comes to Meister - I don't redirect, although there are probably no drawbacks to starting on her right (I think it's better than starting to her left). Middle-(1)>Right->Left-(2)>Right->Left-(3)>Right->Left-(she fucked you over badly if it's not done yet)>etc. Sometimes she's really mean and constantly goes left when you go right. I'm guessing your strategy is this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHyW6Gp6UE8)? (3:20)
I just checked - Meister is up from 10/175 to 14/186. 4 captures in 11 runs is crazy.

Which parts are you having trouble with? I've worked out a consistent method to every part of the stage,

I have a small accomplishment in capturing Ex Keine's first spell.

I probably could've done this soon, but oh well...
-

Pretty much anything involving the large fairies in combination with other enemies. Though I didn't say I don't know how to do it (they seem to all be back-and-forth streaming), just that they seem more difficult than Sanae is.

While you're offering, Sanae's 1st card. It's static, so there should be no reason why I can't do it, yet I've never captured it. :/

Subterranean Animism 1cc'd on Lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24363)! :dragonforce: Featuring a death on Stage 2 since 2 power isn't quite enough to finish Parsee's first attack before the safe-spot becomes dangerous. Aside from that, I improved my power-gathering in Stage 1, learned how to consistently do the first half of Stage 3, came to terms with Terrifying Hypnotism, and didn't timeout Vengeful Cannibal Spirit for once. I got to Stage 6 with less than one life like my previous attempts, but this time I didn't game-over to Blazing Wheel or Utsuho's last non-spell. Glad to finally get this done :D

Pretty much anything involving the large fairies in combination with other enemies. Though I didn't say I don't know how to do it (they seem to all be back-and-forth streaming), just that they seem more difficult than Sanae is.
okay, there are 3 parts where the large fairies show up and shoot the walls, right? The first has the kunai rings, the second has the yellow bullets and the third is red rice pellets. For the kunai rings, I shoot down the 2 big fairies on the left, then 2 on the right, then 2 on the left then sit at midscreen on the left wall. At this point the fairies that shoot the kunai rings show up, but from here we spawnkill half of them and the other half are dealt with by streaming downwards. DASH AWAY FROM THE KUNAI AFTER THEY ARE ALL AIMED to make room to stream the yellow bullets back the other way. The second set is done similarly, you shoot down the first big fairy then go to the center left. This time you stream down the wall slowly, going through the gaps in the blue walls as they arise. You'll have to stream along the bottom, and make sure you cut under the big fairy at the end. The third part is the trickiest one for me, you want to stream back and forth (I don't remember the starting side but I think it's the right) in the very center of the screen, so all the blue walls go around you. After the third set of pellets you can continue streaming the same direction if you want.
While you're offering, Sanae's 1st card. It's static, so there should be no reason why I can't do it, yet I've never captured it. :/
Start at the very bottom of the screen a little to the left of Sanae. stream right. cutback. stream left. cutback. repeat until capture.
Oh, and I 1cced UFO ultra normal with ReimuA again. This time without focus.

Don't you love it when a winning run contains some really awesome dodges?
(http://i.imgur.com/gs8Ce.png)
So I just perfected TD Stage 5 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24368), but I'm more inclined to be proud of the fact that I do this in the one run where I accidentally move away from the middle fairy too quickly?and survive. <_<
-

Yes, I do.
(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee487/KarisaMirisame/1210062134.png)
(If you can't tell where the dodge is in the image, watch the video, or just look closely at where Reimu's shots from a fraction of a second ago are. As for the 52.9fps, that's what happened when I mashed the P key to take multiple screenshots while my computer was uploading a video.)
I know, MoF stage 5 doesn't have anything close to those fairies in TD stage 5, but it's still an accomplishment for me.

Not as good as my double crazy dodge in my first perfect of that stage :V
-
Everyone's a winner in stage 5s today. Awesome job as always, that would have been my other choice for today's rush if not for Futo. Would have been interesting if we both did something the same day. <_<

Here's a list of characters I've fapped to. (http://pastebin.com/kUNkEwBR) (I know, it's lacking, but I'm working on it!)
You need to work harder.
-
So I tried UFO normal with ReimuA. I make it all the way to Byakuren's noodle spell X3
-
Here's a bigger accomplishment for me. I caught Esoterica "Astronomical Entombing" (Lunatic) with Yukari. :toot:

You need to work harder.
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised! orz
And I guess I managed 1.15 billion (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24381) last night. That's kind of an accomplishment? It was awful though.
-
Greatest Treasure cap \o/
The Shou fight was like 6 deaths so I won't link that replay. Seriously.
I also got captures of Emerald Megalith, Sylphae Horn High Level, Lava Cromlech and a bunch of Patchy's other shit down today. I honestly thought it would be an off day due to no motivation but no, I'm doing good work.
-
EosD Lunatic 1cc with deafult lives (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24414) get it. Yay.
First time clearing a Lunatic like this, thought I was going to trying this for months but happened faster than I expected ^_^
-
C-2 lunatic finished with 1000% motivation and over 70 million (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24416)
Both the score and the motivation is a first for me, on any route. I care more about score, which really should've been a lot higher (haven't done any practice on this route yet, so the run wasn't that much of a scoring run, although I did use bombs for scoring purposes) but the run still felt pretty good to me.
Now I need to give the other routes similar treatment. 80 million for A2 and 70 million for all other routes is basically what I'm shooting for. The main thing though, is that survival by itself is worth a lot, so all the risky score strats I try to do in A2 and B2 end up killing my score rather than helping it.
This game is fun as hell. More people should play it.
-
So I've only ever 1cc'd UFO Normal twice in my life, and both were a sweat-pouring race to the end on my last life, even with life-farming... so I haven't gone back in a while, just playing practice instead. But then I somehow just pulled this off:
[attach=1]
I got really lucky on Shou. I normally fail him all over the place, but I caught all the last 3 cards this time somehow.
-
I find Eirin easier than Kaguya for some reason @_@
Try lunatic.. then you will see the light.
-
I thought Kaguya was already supposed to be the more difficult of the two?
-
Yeah, I think so. Astronomical Entombing aside, I've got about a 20-30% success rate on all Eirin's hard level spells, whereas Kaguya's are 0 across the board.
-
Salamander Shield is easy if you stream left/right, if you can reach FinalB in the first place you should be able to capture that at least. But the other four combined (not counting the Last Spells) more than make up for it.
-
UFO Hard 1cc MarisaA! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24425) Features a perfect Kogasa and Murasa fights and 1DNB Shou (screw Vajra). Entered stage 6 wwith like 6/3, got to Byakuren like 4/3 (i dont even know lol). Died 3 times (2nd non, magic butterfly, and 4th non). Capped last 4 spells though including my first of LFS Hard with Marisa, I forget if I managed with Reimu or not.
Update: IN Hard 1cc with Ghost Team (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24427) I played a lot of this unfocused because it helps me develop my skills, so actual gameplay survival wise is pretty subpar. I did manage to capture Reisen's first card unfocused though. Also check lucky dodge thread for a screenshot from this run.
-
While practicing EoSD stage 3 with ReimuA, I somehow managed a perfect of it out of the blue. Wasn't even trying for it, and it was only until after the fact that I realized it, so I don't really have anything to show for it. But whatever. The only real challenge in the stage is Meiling's final card. That one always gets me. I figured out how to do Flower Dream Vine and Meiling's second to last card decently consistently, so now I just need to practice Sakuya and Remilia. I would practice Patchy, but the stage is so boring to the point that I just get demotivated the instant I hear the drab music start.
In other news, I went back and conquered an old nemesis of mine: Marionette. It's more of a personal victory than anything, but seriously that card haunted me back when I played EoSD Normal. Flipping knives suddenly changing direction and sniping you out of the blue...
Salamander Shield is easy if you stream left/right, if you can reach FinalB in the first place you should be able to capture that at least. But the other four combined (not counting the Last Spells) more than make up for it.
It definitely doesn't for me. The only real challenge in Kaguya's normal card arsenal is Life Spring Infinity. Everything else isn't that bad. By contrast, Eirin's stuff is just mean/gimmicky, and at the very least I feel that her stuff is harder to read than Kaguya's cards. I can't see anything in Game of Rising, I can't dodge Omoikone's Brain for beans, and I can't read Apollo 13 for the life of me.

No Focus time out of Vajra. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24380)
Now on youtube. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzfJMaPTNpo&feature=youtu.be)
Thanks to Malkyrian for recording this for me.
-
Brought my StB IL tables total time down to 38:58.88. Counting in-game time like we did in DS. Might be a fraction of a second off because sometimes the timer keeps counting for one more 0.01 after the screen fades and I'm undecided on what time to use in that case. Feels pretty good to have done this but then I'm not actually 100% sure about my time since I haven't organized and double checked anything yet.
-
ALRIGHT. I don't want you people believe I died or somthing, but my internet is anything but stable. I had a lot of time where I could play touhou and managed some cool and some less cool stuff. let#s start with the lest collest :v
Spiritual Birth "First Pyramid" timeout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24470)
the "difficult" part is when she's got twice as many familiars out. took 17 tries for some reason. I kept dying on 02 and 01 seconds and shit. lol
phoenix rebirth timeout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24471)
easy last word, but I noticed I hadn't timed it out yet. so I went ahead and did it. 12 tries. it was super easy after finding a good rhythm.
Ephemerality 137 timeout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24469)
I don't know if it's really awesome I did it, or really bad that I think of it as an accomplishment, but I found it tough enough. real fun, too. 27 tries.
perfect PCB stage 3. Lunatic of course (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24465)
everything said. NDNB and no borders broken. took like 4 tries or so.
Perfect stage 3 MoF (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24466)
same applies here. the stage really easy, except for optical camouflage. ended every run that could have been ended. 5 tries.
perfect stage 5 MoF (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24467)
my first perfect stage that goes past stage 3. sadly, this is MoF stage 5, so it's super easy. I was like "sure, let's try" inbetween my stage 4 attempts. the first time, I died to the 2nd wave of big fairies with the green small bullcrap. on the 2nd, I did this. yeah, 2 tries.
and now the last one.
perfect stage 6 MoF (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24468)
yeah. awesome, right? I didn't even felt all that confidence yesterday. pulled some cool dodges....I think :v just watch and decide for yourself. I have to be honest, though: VoWG RNG seemed generous yesterday.
no luck in perfecting stage 4, though. Often it's post-momiji or PWG killing me. I could get sort of consistent on momiji herself, though =)
-
Nicely done with most of those. If you want to NMNB Stage 4 then you might wanna consider timing Momiji down to 12 seconds before taking her down. That way you'll skip most of the post-Momiji barrage. It's easier to survive for longer against Momiji if you don't know what you're doing on the post-Momiji stuff.
-
perfect Stage 6 MoF is something I still need to do, nice job.
-
Cleared MoF Extra with ReimuC and got my first capture of Suwako's first survival card! I've cleared MoF Extra with all of Reimu's shot types! I also managed to capture Suwako's final card, despite the fact that I blinked near the end and I could feel the impending doom of needing to readjust to the card. Something interesting though... the card with the second least captures? Kanako's first spell card. I'm serious. I don't get it either. I think a Suwako perfect is doable, but I'm absolutely dreadful at Suwako's survival cards, and I don't feel like grinding through the stage to practice them so... I'll just toss that onto the ever growing pile of "too lazy to play through boring stuff to practice stuff".
Also on a personal level, I'm actually really proud of the fact that the Extra stages are what I play now when I don't feel like playing super seriously. I remember when they were actually hard...
-
VoWG was annoying for me, took me a week of perfecting up to that and always failing to finally get through it as well, so I know how grat it feels to perfect Kanako. Nice job on the others too.
-
Finally cleared UFO Normal in what was probably the most poorly played, inconsistent 1cc I've had. Died twice to Ichirin's first or second spell, had derp deaths, missed UFO's a couple deaths with 2 bombs stocked picked the wrong colours up a couple times, death to Byakuren's first and second spells then to that circling nonspell, bombed that zig-zaggy one then entered the final with 0 bombs 1 life, cleared it 0/0. I think I even died twice to Kogasa. I did manage to cap Murasa's survival and Byakuren's Devils Recitation. Also Shou's final.
7 hours 40 minutes total with 107 starts split between Needle Reimu (53), Laser Marisa (40) and Froggy Sanae (14)
Clear was with Froggy Sanae whom I really hate using >_>
UFO is so damn hard v_v So thankful for the masses of resources. Dreading having to clear it again with Reimu or Marisa. Guess I can at least try the Extra with Sanae though.
And for the record that was the second attempt of the day.
-
It definitely doesn't for me. The only real challenge in Kaguya's normal card arsenal is Life Spring Infinity. Everything else isn't that bad. By contrast, Eirin's stuff is just mean/gimmicky, and at the very least I feel that her stuff is harder to read than Kaguya's cards. I can't see anything in Game of Rising, I can't dodge Omoikone's Brain for beans, and I can't read Apollo 13 for the life of me.
I think my point there was more of "If you can reach Kaguya in the first place, you can capture Salamander Shield". It wasn't directly related to my question about Kaguya or Eirin being more difficult (which was a question, since I don't have much experience with Eirin), though I can understand why it seemed related.
-
Got my first NMNB Patchouli fight today. ReimuB.
I don't know how high the rank was since I died twice early on in the stage to a stupid thing and to the books. Maybe I only died once. I dunno.
I'll take it though. The first spell in this battle is like drinking raw sewage but the rest of the fight is of excellent quality aside from one piss easy spell that I in the preceding attempt had the exquisite pleasure of losing an attempt and half my dignity to.
Overall I gave her around 6 attempts. Not bad for a NMNB Stage 4 boss fight I guess. I had to spend most of these runs learning how to do the non-spells.
Hopefully I'll be able to do other characters as well. And thank goodness he stopped putting rank in the games. I can understand the idea behind it but it just means that if you are an above average player you'll wind up facing boring patterns just because you died to something difficult before it. Or died stupidly for that matter. Another one of the countless reasons why UFO is the better game. :V
-

You were right, by the way, I tried again and managed it without too much trouble. With Yukari, anyway. I also forgot I do have a capture of... whichever it is with the straight lasers and stars.
-
Hopefully I'll be able to do other characters as well.
Go for MarisaA, and may the force be with you.
-
Well I'm going for MarisaA next since I just managed to do it with ReimuA too on my third try. Lava Cromlech got really intense as I was pushed out to the side and almost timed it out. This was a fun fight.
I just looked up MarisaA's fight and it seems like it consists pretty much entirely of pretty difficult attacks. I wonder how many attempts she will take. Most likely it will take a bunch more tries since it's a lot of hard cards in the same fight plus it's Marisa and her movement speed is probably higher, even when focused, so i'll need to get used to it.
EDIT:
Alright. I tried it and I got a 2MNB run on MarisaA Patchouli. First death was on Sylphae Horn. That attack looks pretty tough. I'm not sure how I should approach it except for just dodging the best I can. Maybe there are certain areas of the screen where it's safer. I dunno, will have to look into that. Second death was a double KO on Lava Cromlech :V
I definitely think I can do this but my gods is Agni Radiance going to be a hate card for me. It's bubbles and fireballs. Not a good combination. I'm certain that i'm gonna lose attempts to either me not noticing fireballs sneaking up on my under cover of the bubbles or it's gonna be bubble clip as I try to dodge it. Other than that the battle looks challenging and fun. Will be getting back to that one soon. Which might actually be a couple days if the feel like playing Touhou doesn't show up again.
-
I just capped Sylphae recently and it's probably good to stay mid-screen and tap left when you have an opening so you don't get forced right. Hard card though, one of the ones I have the lowest cap rate on. Forest Blaze is EZ, Megalith is Megalith, and Cromlech is total luckshit.
In fact, while I do want to work on Lunatic clearing all of the Windows toohoos before the end of the year I will probably mostly stick to EoSD and UFO because they are the most fun IMO.
-
I captured Sylphae Horn as well. Lost to Agni Radiance immediately after that though. Agni Radiance is the hardest one for me now. It just randomly throws bubbles at me at relatively high speed while there are many bullets around me. More likely to capture Megalith and Cromlech actually.
-
I fucking hate that one too :V Tried a Marisa A run today and passed Patchy with 0 lives (made it to Stage 6 though because Sakuya went easy on me). This might have been partly due to me throwing my lives to the wind on Rainbow Wind Chime in some strange sort of attempt at scorerunning.
On a better note, here's a 2BND Shou fight (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24494). Very proud of this.
In the coming weeks, I'll be working on Coreven's UFO route for Stage 4, which is a definite improvement on my own, practicing Shou an eensy bit more to learn RTG, and trying to see if I can make it to Byakuren by Halloween. I am still going to bomb Dipper because it is a stupid attack and I hate it and it makes me feel bad about my (lack of) Touhou skills.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/m6Wfh.jpg)
Haha! Finally 1cc'd EoSD with ReimuA. I may have to revise my opinion of how hard Remilia is compared to the other final bosses. The only thing that's really, really hard is Scarlet Meister. Everything else feels more doable with a bit of practice, provided that the RNG doesn't decide to completely screw you over. Even Scarlet Gensokyo didn't feel that hard. Granted, it's still a pretty tough card, but I feel like I can read it for the most part compared to something like VoWG or LFS.
I also managed to perfect ReimuA Patchy. I actually got this on my second try. I would have got it the first time, but I double KO'd with Patchy on both the one that shoots homing bubbles and a bunch of yellow small bullets (Trilithon something?) and Forest Blaze. Derp. If I merge the stage portion of my first run and the Patchy fight on my second, then I have a NM1B stage 4. Obviously, the bomb was on the books. I can't read those for beans. I've also developed a hate for the fire bullets. I can't figure out what their hitboxes are and it irks me. They kind of feel like the completely white and big bullets from later games like SA or UFO (like during Devil's Recitation), but I haven't gotten used to them yet, so Agni Shrine and Lava Cromlech are just plain annoying. The weird angles of the bullets in Agni Shrine don't help either.
EoSD is pretty fun. I've noticed that most of the games I like tend to have very few truly "boring" sections like stage 4 in PCB or pretty much all of IN. EoSD, SA, and UFO <3.
PS - Is there a native way to take screenshots in EoSD? I used the rather primitive method of print screening.
I think my point there was more of "If you can reach Kaguya in the first place, you can capture Salamander Shield". It wasn't directly related to my question about Kaguya or Eirin being more difficult (which was a question, since I don't have much experience with Eirin), though I can understand why it seemed related.
Oops I read that in context of the conversation chain so I read it as: "... more than make up for it in terms of Kaguya's difficulty." My bad.
-
Oops I read that in context of the conversation chain so I read it as: "... more than make up for it in terms of Kaguya's difficulty." My bad.
That actually was what I meant, but not in relation to Kaguya/Eirin. I was more stating something about Kaguya's difficulty in general, not in comparison to Eirin in particular (yes, I understand why I was misinterpreted, it doesn't make sense to me anymore why I phrased my earlier post like that).
Despite Salamander Shield being easy, Kaguya has more phases that I rarely capture (all four of her other non-last spells) than all the others except Byakuren. Probably also Eirin but I'd assumed that was just because I almost never play FinalA.
-
PS - Is there a native way to take screenshots in EoSD? I used the rather primitive method of print screening.
Download the free version of fraps, can take screenshots with F10 (I think you can remap it though). Free version only allows .bmp.
Works the same as in the P button in the other games but you can set the save location.

On a better note, here's a 2BND Shou fight (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24494). Very proud of this.
Nice. Shouldn't be too far off the 1cc if you can do this.
EDIT:
Uploaded the timeouts of Sinkable Vortex + 3rd non + Ghost Harbor whatever its called. Timed them all out in one run. Pretty cool. People can see it here if they are so inclined: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zT-83nU8wg

Time-out of Miko's sixth card on Lunatic. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24509)
Not the first time I've done this, though it took no more than 5 tries this time (I don't remember exactly how many ::)). While this attack is indeed legit (the only one Miko has that is, unfortunately), I've been so starved of things to do in Touhou lately that returning to a previous challenge seemed like a good idea at the time. I really wish I could get the motivation to try a few other full-game survival challenges I have in mind.

Ages since I post in the accomplishments thread, busy schools.
But today I manage to squeeze some time, and manage my 2nd Normal 1cc, after a failed attempt with Remila Solo.

Tried a random round of EoSD Stage 4 again. (Because I was stuck at a train station not having anything to do) this time with MarisaB and I score a 1 miss no bombs fight with her. Only death to Megalith.
It feels like outside of MarisaA, ZUN just didn't try with Patchy. Balance. What is that? This boss is bloody pathetic. Emerald Megalith is the only tough card she has and it was only tough because I was being a moron. I think I'll come back for MarisaB since she should be quick to do and then I'll just wait with MarisaA until someone makes a non-sucking version of Hourglass.
-
Really wishing Marine Benefit had replays, because I perfectly timed out Kanpaguku's last card with Marisa.

I finally went over it and cleared all the DS scenes with aya. god, I hate Solar system and blazing star so much. solar system because it's a cheap and fucking boring spell and blazing star because it was a pain to get any photos without dying due to the laser.
those two are spells you do once and never again.

Magical Singular Day -Absolution- Revelation 1cc + TLB. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s40UQKIqVz8)

As I've said before this game really is a brilliant yet tragically obscure game that deserves way more attention than it is getting.

1000% agreed, everyone needs to play that game!

1000% agreed, too. it kicks my ass, though. so before I can play it properly, I need to get better :v it's a great game.

My first Normal clear ever, MoF with ReimuB.
And replay somehow became corrupted, instead of framerate it has some garbage mostly consisting of zeroes; and, while playing this, game may eventually crash. Shit.
Now trying to record it on video for latter YouTube upload.
BTW, 196 033 350. I am an aggressive player, I see: earned 6 lives, after Kanako one was rest. :V

No Ice GFW A-1 Easy Clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24541)
I'm usually too careless and die all over the place, but I did pretty well in this run.
-
Finally had some success today. I've been working on some various Hard 1ccs a few times a day. Today I managed to get EoSD MarisaA and Magic Team. That finished off each of those games (all shot types for EoSD and all teams for IN on hard). Still have a lot left though, since the rest only have 1 or 2 done so far.
-
Yes! Cleared EoSD Extra with ReimuA no bombs. I also captured QED for the first time, which means I only have "And then there will be none" left to capture in the Extra stage. My only deaths in it were 2 to Four of a Kind (... I know) and once to the survival. I could probably pull off a perfect if I grind enough times, but I don't have the willpower to do it, so whatever. This also means I've finished EoSD extra with all shot types... For what that's worth.
Hm I guess I should go back to grinding Marisa in SA again shouldn't I?
-
Finally managed another TD Extra perfect run up to Mamizou's eighth card, where I stupidly died just like old times. I honestly don't know why it took me this long to get back up to speed, I can barely count the number of hard attacks in this stage on two hands.
-
3D0B timeout of Flying Bowl "Legendary Flying Saucer".
Yeah, that's an achievement. Two of those deaths being back-to-back didn't help, though. :(

So following that pathetic episode of mine over at the rage thread, I decided to actually give Remilia a fair shot instead of just using her as something to blame my real life troubles on. And boy have I been a pathetic fool. Arguing against trying such a fun boss just for nothing. So three runs later:
Ehh... okay. I'm just gonna take that as a victory. :V
First run against Remilia: Dies to first two attacks and game overs on Scarlet Gensokyo.
Second run. Captures first attack but game overs on second. (Still learning the hitboxes here)
Third run. 1 death no-bombs. Death being on Scarlet Meister and even that i was close to capturing but I unfortunately got hit by a bullet I should've been able to see coming but alas no.
Doesn't matter too much for me though. I wasn't recording and this victory came far too quickly and Remilia is a fun boss. Yes, she is. I doubted her but that has certainly been brought to shame.
-
>:D
What shottype are you using? I'm with ReimuA since forever. Makes finishing off patterns noticeably longer but I think it actually helps sometimes. Her movements are really unpredictable so having homing bullets can be a saving grace.
Have you tried pacifying the initial spam section yet? It's not half bad.
-
I'm playing ReimuB. My personal type of choice since always. :]
Also got a 1-miss no-bombs Sakuya run. Death to Killing Doll of course. So I guess that's not really an accomplishment rather than what you'd expect. That Killing Doll kicks my ass.
-
I got Divine Treasure "Buddhist Diamond" with Yukari (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KYRz9gP3f8) and Heaven Spider's Butterfly-Catching Web with Yuyuko (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE5FhFzbKE0).
Hooray for Spell Practice! :toot:
Even I'd like to see more of that mode. :wat:

This is obviously my best accomplishment ever. (http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee487/KarisaMirisame/th6erb-101089390.png) (Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24562))
Though seriously, this is actually the first time I've done a full-game perfect of anything non-Extra, assuming EoSD Easy with its missing stage 6 even counts as a full-game run. Not that it feels like much of an accomplishment after several near-perfect (1-3 deaths no bombs) runs of various Normals and TD Hard, but I thought it was still worth posting.
-
Radiant Treasure Gun and Umbrella Night Carnival just went down. The latter in a run, no less. That almost makes up for the otherwise shitty play I had.

PCB extra was my first extra, too. congratz.
OH TALKING ABOUT PCB EXTRA: perfect PCB extra (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24574)
yeah, I FINALLY did it. :v for some reason, it was harder than suwako and Flandre, even though she doesn't have a monster spell like either of those two. BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER, I AM FINE WITH IT.
the best part? I wasn't even trying until after the 6th non-spell. which is the pattern that ended most runs, for some reason. I don't even know why.
> I didn't get the 800 extend or the last bomb ran drops xD
next extra is probably mokou. maybe nue, if I can actually get consistent on her. or the stage. actually, I think koishi would be easier lol
another thing I have here:
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24575
my first clear on UFO :D
ON HARD :'D
Funny how I could only clear UFO on hard after clearing EVERY OTHER WINDOWS MAIN-GAME ON LUNATIC. PoFV included. as a matter of fact, the only windows game I haven't cleared on lunatic yet is GFW. leaving UFO aside, of course. god, this is pathetic, really :v
-
@Zengeku: Good to hear you've discovered the excellence of Remilia. Now soon enough you'll forget all about UFO and become a raving EoSD fanatic, like any sane person should. ;)
it was harder than suwako and Flandre, even though she doesn't have a monster spell like either of those two.
Unilateral Contact!? ;_; and Charming Seige?
-
unilateral contract killed me once in all of my attempts to perfect the stage. blue and red oni killed me more often :v but maybe that's just me not being a total retard on a difficult spell for once :'D
and I'll admit that charming siege ended a couple runs, but that's only when I got a really bad RNG. this one here isn't really cooperating with me, either and I managed. it was the 3rd or 4th most reason that killed me. far from being a monster, in my opinion. I mean, yeah. for survival it's probably harder than 3 seconds of Q.E.D or 7-8 seconds of suwa wars, but for perfecting...well, not so much. it's her most difficult spell, I'll give her that.
what I didn't mention is that capture of izuna. I tried to safespo it. it didn't work/I didn't get the spot right. I still laughed because all I had to do is wiggle a bit back an forth :v
-
@Zengeku: Good to hear you've discovered the excellence of Remilia. Now soon enough you'll forget all about UFO and become a raving EoSD fanatic, like any sane person should. ;)
Nope. EosD is still retarded in too many aspects and Shou kicks Sakuya's ass in every conceivable aspect. UFO has better stages, a better scoring system, better music and better graphics. Let's not forget a competent early game and even a better Extra stage (that I don't play very much but whatever, it's better. period.) EoSD's early game is by no means competent. So no, I don't think I'll forget about UFO.
-
better music
:fail:
In other news, almost a perfect EoSD Stage 5, but I had to backtrack into a bullet during Sakuya's opener. What a shame.
-
I WON. :colonveeplusalpha:

You captured Genetics but not Rice Shower? O.o
In other news, I cleared UFO Hard with SanaeA and MoF Hard with ReimuA today. Both of them on pretty much 1 attempt (defined as perfect stage 1). Pretty surprising considering it's only my 3rd clear on UFO Hard with any shot and I only ever played SanaeA when I did normal all shot types. MoF was even better, I cleared the game on hard with every spell record being either 0/1 or 1/1. My first attempt I stupidly died to the the Stage 1 midboss nonspell (lol) but then cleared on the next try, including a no death Kanako, which was required seeing as I entered stage 6 on my last life.
Still a lot more to do before I clear all shot types on hard for every game.
-

Genetics is 3rd to last, so it's in the last 3.
I'm more impressed with the Rorschach capture.

Sakuya's non's are some serious cool shit, no doubt about that. But Shou's nons aren't half bad either. And she has better spellcards. Plus it's motherfucking Toramaru Shou. Look at my avatar. She would be my one and only waifu if i were better at committing myself. Her presence alone counts for something.
There's just no way a boring pad maid can beat the Tiger of Justice and her heavy brinker who easily becomes uninhibited'ness and coming from UFO'ness.
KB. You are just a confused and sad personality who has not yet received enlightenment from Bishamonten. You may believe that Sakuya is an awesome boss fight, and you might actually very well be right about that but you have no idea how to differentiate between the good and the best. :D
-
and I don't see what the big deal with Genetics is. It's pretty easy to dodge.
I suppose, though I've yet to capture it. I always manage to ram something about a quarter second before the health depletes fully, though that was a long time ago when I was not good at Touhou. I should try again sometime soon.
Also, nice job with that 120 fps clear of SA Easy
-
Also, nice job with that 120 fps clear of SA Easy
That's a really old replay :D
I had realized I hadn't uploaded it and did so to show Nindella.
-
Yeah, Rorschach is at 1/9, Genetics at 0/6. I probably "had" Rorschach about 4 or 5 times, but I'm bombing pretty freely by that point out of panic. Genetics I'm awful at though, it eats multiple bombs plus a death every time, if mostly because I'm too busy surviving to get any damage done.
Rice Shower also suffered from a lot of panic. I think I could have had it once or twice, but I was starting over any time I lost a life before Koishi, so I'd bomb it at the slightest fright. Still, I'm truly awful at fast crossovers in limited space (Day the Sea Split has an embarrassing record as well).
-
I was starting over any time I lost a life before Koishi.
You think that's bad? Every time I was clearing extras for the first time I would practically FORCE myself to perfect the stage portion. Exceptions were Royal Flare and certain parts of UFO's stage but PCB, IN, MoF, SA and TD probably 99% of runs that reached the boss was perfect to that point.
-
What's the point of perfecting the stage portion in MoF/SA Extra (unless you're trying to perfect the entire stage or something to that effect)? As long as you reach the boss with no deaths and full power, you might as well use bombs
for score to your advantage.
And perfecting TD Extra's stage portion costs you some resources, unless by "perfect" you mean reaching Mamizou with 4 lives and 5 bombs.
As for Rorshach/Genetics, Rorshach is denser, but Genetics has faster bullets coming from various directions (something most players at the level of first Extra clears won't be used to) and lasts much longer, especially if you're at low power. I remember being close to a Rorshach capture during my first clear (succeeding sometime after the clear), but my first capture of Genetics was only a few months ago.
-

Actually, don't even bother with getting there with full lives. 3 or 4 years ago, I was trying to clear Mokou. I spent over 50 runs on the stage portion to get a no-death run of the stage portion. There was always something going wrong and I kept restarting. Then I got the idea to allow one death on it and beat Mokou two runs later.
Don't needlessly restart extra attempts just because you lose a life to the stage. Play until you game over so you actually get some practice on the boss. Much more relevant advice in non-IN/TD games where you have no way to practice the extra boss other than getting to her. Of course if you die like three times on the stage to something that you could easily avoid, it's okay to restart it. :)
-
It depends on how close you are to completing the stage, in my opinion. If you've already had a run that failed on one of the last few spells, and you know you could make it if you just had a few more resources, then trying to reach the boss with more resources can be a good idea (though there are some, such as Mokou, Yukari, and Nue, where a no-death run of the stage portion may be harder than the clear in the first place). If you haven't yet reached that point (or you're trying to practice a certain pattern), then yes, play out every attempt for practice on the boss, except perhaps if it goes terribly early on.
I still recall always restarting to a death (not a bomb, a death) before the midboss if I'd already reached the second/third boss spell or so, though.
-
> RECENTLY, I RESTART EVEN ON THE LAST SPELL IF I DIE :V
no seriously, for a first clear, there's no point in trying to perfect the stage. it may look cool, but it will take unnecessary amounts of time in which you could've cleared the stage already.
I for that because I did it like that against koishi. some people may know it took me months before I could clear the stage. a big part of it was because I was to stubborn to eat a death. hell, I didn't even want to bomb unless it was planned. that's just frustrating and doesn't exactly help you against the boss either, who will be, in pretty much every case, much much harder than the stage. take PCB: you get at least like 5 lives. maybe 4. so that you have 6/7 lives. dying once isn't so bad. plus ran drops a couple bombs, too. if you don't waste them by not using them and die, they'll save you once or twice, too. mokou similarly drops bombs.
-
When I was doing extras I always had pretty much nothing left, and would reset to a death to the stage (except Phantasm, I think I took a death there)
Bombs were perfectly acceptable, especially in MoF and SA because there's a power cash-in right before the end.
Oh right, I just worked on an improvement to my Stage 5 UFO route. I can now get 1 extra green UFO, which, given 3 bombs entering the stage (possible with a good Stage 4), is enough to safely no death it.
-
I got through Gengetsu's last attack without shooting, for a clear.

I only meant the nons. And yes, the Shou fight is great; it is -the- reason I'll eventually revisit UFO.
Got a good chuckle from the rest of your post.
-
I guess I'm just stubborn when it comes to these kind of things. I really hate settling for something when I know I'm capable of better. In other news, ReimuA hard 1cc of PCB. God is that shot weak, and don't even get me started on how slow she is when focused
EDIT: MarisaB Hard 1cc of SA! Took me god only knows how long to pull this one off. In a significant number of plays I had only reached orin once before this run and this time I reached her with like 4 stock lives. I pwned Utsuho as far as I'm concerned, almost timing out the first spell and capturing everything else except the final, which kinda screwed me on one wave of the smaller bullets. Also, fuck Princess Undine
MORE EDIT: Sanae Harc 1cc of TD. Royally screwed up everything in stage 2 and 3 but said screw it and kept playing. Perfect Seiga, 1DNB Futo and 1 death and a few bombs on Miko because I entered with no stock lives because fail in stage so I played safe to get my last extend before trying hard again
-
EoSD Extra no bomb cleared (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24588)
Man, I don't know if this is an accomplishment or a just a big fail since I was really close to perfect the stage.
Guess I'll go with accomplishment since it's the first time I pulled one of these and a no bomb run was my original intention :V I just didn't expect that I would reach so far.
Probably should try to perfect the stage someday.

Someone delete this post, I accidentally clicked on quote instead of modify on one of my posts.

Well it's been a long time since I last posted here.
Currently trying to clear Hard modes with other shottypes, and it's easier than I thought for now :
EoSD Hard with ReimuB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24595) : no deaths until Patchouli, thanks to insane luck in stage 4.
PCB Hard with SakuyaA : didn't save the replay since it was awful. Got it on my first try with this character, so I'm happy with it. I think I'll start lunatic modes with this game.
IN Hard with Ghost Team (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24596) : I used to like IN, but now it feels way too much memorization-heavy.
I'll do MoF once I stop failing VoWG, then maybe SA.
UFO is...uh...not now. :V
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dr2xTqzsok4
Ehe... pretty close I guess. This was what happened when I one day randomly decided that going up against Kogasa at 90FPS was a good idea. I guess this is my punishment for being such a perv everytime i fight her.
Mad skillz rawr.
-
Certainly means something when I face Ephemerality 137 for the first time in ages, let all the familiars in most waves explode at the sides, and still feel remarkably comfortable dodging their stuff. I still died once because of that, but it felt like a very preventable death all the same.
-
Mad skillz rawr.
Stop being so good lol
-
This time the only miss in my EoSD Stage 5 run was to the kunai walls.
C'mon, I can do way better than that. It's like I decided to not look for gaps and go up when the waves close in on you. I know you're supposed to move horizontally, then vertically, but then again, since when do I expect myself to remember such complicated things?

Not NMNB? what are you doing you're destined for greatness
Being able to perfect each stage individually is one thing. Doing them all at the same time is an accomplishment leaps and bounds above even a 1lc with bombs. Not that Nindella can't go for it at any point, just trying to be realistic here.
And congrats Nindella. A no-bombs 1cc is actually not especially hard given the amount of lives you can get, as well as all the attacks you can neutralize through memorization and the like. Go for it!

Got a silly urge to play PCB and got a no-bombs clear. A pretty pathetic one but a clear nonetheless. Why is this game so stupidly easy? If it were harder it would force me to actually get better before I get a clear. Now I have no motivation to go improve it.
Anyway, here's my deaths.
Chen's midboss card. (Retarded)
Alice's midboss card. (Even more retarded)
Alice's final boss card. (Also very stupid)
Hell God Sword. (It happens, it's a fairly tough card and i'm a retard so it's okay to die there I guess)
Youmu's 2nd non-spell. (So beyond stupid it's not even funny)
Stage 6 spam. (Legitimate fuck up. i'll live with that)
Yuyuko's 2nd spell. Very stupid. I had even successfully managed to turn the stream properly and was about to win but decided to move into a bubble.
Yuyuko's 4th spell. Insanely stupid.
Yuyuko's 5th spell. Handled the card pretty stupidly and died as a result.
80% Reflowering. First time failing that in like forever. Really embarassing.
So there you have it. Shitplay at it's finest. I've never before been this dissatisfied with a clear. But it's an accomplishment to do something like this in just one casual attempt I guess so I post it here.

YYEEESSSSSS!!! Screw you Marisa and your stupid focused spread shot, I never have to use you in a 1cc again! Hahahahaha!!! I actually gasped when Okuu exploded. Too flipping close. Way too close for comfort. I bomb spammed my way through it, but god damn it if I'm going to deal with both MarisaA's low focused power AND high movement speed. I don't even know how I would begin to do cards like Orin's Needles of Yore if I couldn't bomb spam my way through them. God. Damn. It. I thought I was going to fail because I actually lost a life on stage 1 and decided to go ahead with the run anyway. If I had failed because I didn't have just one extra life... Dear lord I would've been so pissed. Well... Onto MarisaB!

Two things:
1) PCB actually gives you at least 10 extra lives? Woah.
2) This is actually exactly what I'm aiming for. Someday I just want to sit down at a random Touhou game and be able to get reasonably far in a Lunatic 1cc attempt without bombing in a few tries... Oh how far away that day is, but this gives me a lot of inspiration for trying PCB at least :P
-
1) PCB actually gives you at least 10 extra lives? Woah.
I died 12 times in my first Lunatic 1cc. I think PCB ranks second in the series in number of available lives (after UFO, which can give you at least 17 lives with a good enough red UFO route), or fourth if you include HRtP and GFW.
PCB can give you as many as 13 extra lives actually (the 2 that you start with, 2 1up items, and at 50, 125, 200, 300, 450, 800, 1000, 1200, and 1400 point items), but I doubt anyone reaches the 1400 extend in survival runs since each death costs you some point items. Not sure how feasible the 1200 extend is in Lunatic no-bombs either, since there are a few places where I'd normally bomb for point items to ensure that I reach 1200.

NOTHING CAN BEAT THE ECSTASY OF GETTING MY FIRST EOSD NORMAL 1CC YESTERDAY
NOTHING :getdown:
I'm sure everyone knows the feeling when you see a good ending on a game for the first time. :V
It featured moments like doing Red Magic 0/0 for half a minute while silently chanting DIE DIE DIE; There were certain times where I saw a clump of bullets, thought 'surely this is the end' and then manage to dodge all of them by spasming sporadically.

Ah, the joys of first 1ccs...

first EoSD 1cc
Congratulations! You're gonna become something big someday.

1) PCB actually gives you at least 10 extra lives? Woah.
2) This is actually exactly what I'm aiming for. Someday I just want to sit down at a random Touhou game and be able to get reasonably far in a Lunatic 1cc attempt without bombing in a few tries... Oh how far away that day is, but this gives me a lot of inspiration for trying PCB at least :P
I didn't even get the 1000 extend. That's PCB for you. PCB is probably a great start if you wanna get into no-bombing things. It's not a very hard game in terms of survival difficulty and most of those deaths I had would've been easily avoidable had I just more recent practice with the game.
There are of course still hard patterns in the game but when you get this huge amount of lives then it doesn't really matter. Also, make sure to not kill Lily White before the last few seconds to avoid having to deal with memotrash. :)
-
Getting the 1200 and 1000 extends should be just poc'ing most of the time. 1400 is about some basic knowledge and the 1600 extend is reachable.
-
I didn't even know you could get that many lives. How silly.
-
the 1600 extend is reachable.
Replay please? I've never seen any that finish beyond the low 1500s.
-
Hmm.
Just lost the Perfect EoSD Stage 5 run to a double KO on Ludo Bile.
That is literally the most humiliating way I could've missed the goal. Holy crap.
-
Spontaneous No Focus Stage 5 run.
Death to kunai walls.
Death to Killing Doll.
And that's it.
Well then.

Yeah, it is lunatic no bomb. He's hoping to be able to do it at some point, but that run wasn't (it was just a MarisaA clear, which is still crazy)
Touhou abbreviations don't get as bad as FFX. NSGNSNCNONENNENBB anyone?

Touhou 10, MoF Lunatic, cleared with all Shottypes!! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24635)
Well, MarisaC isn't that bad after all, it's just I'm terrible for not getting used to her sooner.
Now I'm actually going to have to aim for slightly harder stuff... and even PCB... oh god I don't know why I've been so bad at PCB lately, but I have to get over it sooner or later. :ohdear:
-
I did a blind run of Phantasmagoria Trues Standard mode and got a 1cc with 8 lives in stock. Quite an easy clear but really fun patterns. Would play again. 8/10
I have no idea if this is impressive or not but I'm pretty pleased with my performance all around which is quite rare I get to say that. PS: The Mima boss fight was pretty damn awesome. If she can perform like this in an official ZUN game then i'll strike that old desire right away.
Will check out Advanced mode next time i'm in the mood. Or maybe i should check the right path next time.
-
Did a fun run of UFO Stage 6 and perfected everything except 1st spell, 2nd nonspell and LFS, which is great for me because I usually mess up about in about three or four other places. Still out of my league for the time being, but at least I'm improving.
-
I think HS proved it could be done only a few years ago. I'm not sure if you can find a replay (I'd love to see it myself), but there is a screenshot (http://twitpic.com/2kk1da) on his twitter or something.
1,346,729,331 score? That explains why there's no replay. I wonder what purpose the continue had?
Now that I'm thinking about it, I may try a point item run myself, but it'd probably be on Easy (not consistent enough at Hard to avoid losing too many point items to boss deaths, and I don't see any advantages to choosing Normal over Easy), which means no point item farming off Alice's midboss card. I might as well see what I can get anyway.
Edit: Well, by using a continue right at the start of the game for full power (so Cirno and the hexagram fairies would drop more point items), I was able to collect an additional ~25 point items in stage 1, finishing the stage with 76 (my best normally is around 51 on Easy/Normal, lower on Hard/Lunatic due to the delay from Cirno's midboss card). I think that may have been the purpose of the continue.
-
Woo! I had a 1MNB Aya fight. Only death was to Stormy Day (or whatever her second card is). Even better is that I did this with ReimuA, so I wasn't too reliant on ReimuB's power to finish the fight for me. I also got my first capture of PWG, which was awesome. Plus I only had 1 real "lucky" dodge in PWG, where I managed to squeeze into a pretty small gap... somehow. But for the rest of the 16 seconds or whatever, I knew exactly what I was doing. I'm pretty proud of that at least.
Also I almost captured Momiji's attack in the run, but I got a double KO. D'oh.
-
Oh guys thanks for the PCB extra stage congratz :)

So I was having two threads open and I obviously posted into the wrong one. Great work being an idiot, me.
Was going to post here as well, but, eh, not in the form of a scoreboard post.
-
Anyway, cleared IN extra without focus. One miss, too many bombs, most of which were silly and stupid deathbombs. If I could gain some consistency at the glowshit, I could - maybe - do this thing without deaths, but for now I'll just leave it like this.
-
Spontaneous No Focus Stage 5 run.
Death to kunai walls.
Death to Killing Doll.
And that's it.
Well then.
Ha ha, I tried this again.
Perfected the stage.
Managed the opener.
And kunai waves.
And sword spam.
But died twice to Killing Doll.
So basically 2DNB No Focus Stage 5, again.
It's a shame this wasn't live recorded (or recorded at all). You'd have witnessed me panic-screaming "OHHH GOD, MAX RANK KILLING DOLL, AHHHH" with multiple voicecracks like a crazy.

Oh, and while I'm here, I perfected Aya last night. Whoo.
-
good job, now perfect kaguya, byakuren and shou. of course, the stages, too.
also, for a more realistic perfect, do Flandre.

now the question is in which order I do them :v and if I do them now or in 2 months after perfecting Mof stage 4. SO MANY THINGS TO CONSIDER
actually, do ichirin, too. I see she's missing in your perfect list :'D
-
I went ahead to see how much I suck after not playing for two weeks by playing some PCB.
Managed to 1cc with the 4 remaining shot types in one sitting. Eh, all pretty horrible runs.
-
Seiga. Flandre so lame. Go for Shou instead.
Sakurei: Stick to that MoF Stage 4 run or do Shou.
Not that i'm here to advertise for Shou or anything. :V just urging the young generation in the right direction so they get the important things done before they lose their perfectionist's spirit. :)
-
Note: do not attempt Shou without some degree of consistency at Vajra if you value your sanity.
What little is left of it.
-
I attempted her for a long time without any consistency at the attack. I still don't have consistency at it. The best method to try and do something about that is practice and you might as well practice while going for the NMNB run.
It's quite satisfying to get a good run on her like that.
... even if it doesn't mean anything unless you can do it consistently. :(
-
just urging the young generation in the right direction so they get the important things done before they lose their perfectionist's spirit. :)
Though what happens if they lose their perfectionist's spirit, at least when it comes to UFO Stage 5 by itself, before they get this important thing done? If that can happen to me so easily, well...
As for an actual accomplishment, nothing concrete, but I'm steadily getting reused to IN after not taking it seriously for a long time. I'm actually debating if I want to go for a no-bomb 1cc or 1-life clear first - this game does give you more bombs during the latter than lives for the former (13 vs. 10).
-
Seiga. Flandre so lame. Go for Shou instead.
(http://i.imgur.com/HycHZ.jpg)
I won't be too far away though, Sakurei's suggestion of Ichirin intrigues me. I'll see how it goes.
Though what happens if they lose their perfectionist's spirit, at least when it comes to UFO Stage 5 by itself, before they get this important thing done? If that can happen to me so easily, well...
If it happens, it happens. Won't be happening any time soon, I don't think, and as long as I keep knocking stages out one at a time I'll be confronted with UFO 5 eventually. <_<
-
in a 1LC with Ghost Team you can potentially have up to 18 bombs-not that you're likely too, it just makes early-stage mistakes not run-enders.
-
3 miss Virtue of Wind God timeout.
Can definitely see myself improving on this, even though at least twice I made dodges I had absolutely no right to make.
You know something? I'm going to time out this card. Maybe not within this month, maybe not even within this year, but I am going to time out this card.
-

I keep forgetting about that feature. While I don't see myself bombing a whole lot early in the game no matter which shot I use, that might help convince me to be more liberal with bombing Marisa as Youmu solo for instance.
-
is it really alright to call me the new generation when I've been playing touhou for over 4 years :v? I know I started around the time UFO came out. but eh, it doesn't really matter.
on another note: leaving vaijra aside, greatest treasure would probably end more runs, due to it being sooner in the stage. also post-nazrin spam, because reimuA is the only good shottype. :V no seriously: I refuse to play with SanaeB. she makes fun parts of the stages trivial and boring + she sucks more against the bosses. everything else is alright, just not my cup of tea.
but yeah, shou will likely take a while and I'm also likely to restart the stage more than I will do on stage 4 of MoF. (just wasted another 50 minutes accomplishing nothing in that stage :V)
also zengeku, no u just didn't say Flandre is lame. she is still the best extra boss fight. all of your arguments are invalid.
-

IN Extra, I Just made it all the way to Phoenix Tail before losing my first life, then only lost one more on Volcano. Score was pretty miserable, but by far my best game in terms of survival.
Also, Ancient Duper 1/50 finally. First 30 or so were me going "this is impossible" before figuring out to move up. Then another 18 until I realized the lasers lose hitbox as soon as she dodges. One case of "9, 10, 11, dodge!... 12?!" but then it went right the next time and I win.
Edit one more: 1 death clear of PCB Extra, and with Marisa of all things. And that one death was on 12 General Gods, somehow - though if not there I'd have been out of bombs and died later I guess.
-

I also use ReimuA more than anything else, MarisaA is next but only because LAZORS. I think I'm just spoiled by the smaller hitbox.

I was wondering when you'd finally go for that one. Good luck, and don't give up! You know you can do it!
-
OK, the discussion about PCB's 1600 extend reminded me that there was a different game where I thought an extend might be barely possible. It seems I was correct.
(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee487/KarisaMirisame/th13-20extend.png)
I pretty much had to trance every pink spirit from the stages and midbosses, and every other from the bosses (sometimes needing a bomb or two to refill the trance in time), but I did it. (And the requirement goes directly from 20 to 25 life parts, not 22.)
Here's a replay if you're interested in seeing my route, though I did make plenty of mistakes from boss Seiga onward.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24675
I actually finished with 2/25 (and it would have been 4/25 if I hadn't missed one of the stage 6 spirits). So I didn't need to die to Tojiko... and since Tojiko is the only place where I used a death trance for life parts, that means an 8-life finish should be doable, as long as I capture pretty much everything that isn't bombed for trance refills. I think I'm going to go for it. It seems more fun than PCB point item collecting, actually.
-
is it really alright to call me the new generation when I've been playing touhou for over 4 years :v? I know I started around the time UFO came out. but eh, it doesn't really matter.
Younger than me. I've been around since before SA was released.
also zengeku, no u just didn't say Flandre is lame. she is still the best extra boss fight. all of your arguments are invalid.
If she had more things on par with QED then maybe. I must admit I like Nue better since her spells are a bit more creative imo but they are both somewhat lame since pretty much all their patterns are absolute jokes. (Yep ZUN, still pushing for difficulties in the extra stage. Do it!)
-
eh, so close :v
if she had more things like Q.E.D she'd be impossible to clear for people who just umlocked the stage. I know you know, but keep in mind that the extra stages aren't meant to be first-clears for lunatic players, but some people who're somewhere between normal and hard. we are too good for them :V
what we do with them is stuff like Seiga's just shown. sometimes even more like Zil has shown with his no-everything on Flandre :v (well, she shot, but that's it) so there's nothing wrong with each extra having only 1 or maybe 2 really difficult spells.
-
SORRY FOR THE DOUBLE POST, BUT EH, I ACTUALLY HAVE SOMETHING TO CONTRIBUTE WITH.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24684 ( know I should record and upload those things because nobody ever bothers to download a replay just to see a run, but eh, I have no recording software and I'm too poor to buy fraps to do this :'D)
I so called it. the winning run would be a boring under 15 seconds capture of post-momiji. actually, the one run where I decide to go like "fuck it, I'm going to wait a bit before shooting momiji" gets to become the successful run. hell, I didn't even capture it at 12 seconds, but at 10 :v though, I think I proved that I have the capabilities of capturing it, even with higher numbers left on the clock.
another thing I called is the storm day RNG. it's so fucking generous, I would have deserved to lose another run if I had died on it. I am actually happy it didn't give me some crazy batshit RNG. even though I captured it with one like that before.
BUT! PWG was really dangerous this time around. I had to make tight dodges only. no generous RNG and I still managed. very proud of that capture. I also managed to mess up the 3 big fairies in the end and the middle one shot until it left on its own, but eh, the bullets are so spread out that it wasn't really difficult dodging that.
I am happy I _finally_ managed. now, there're a couple other stages I need to perfect (aka, some I 1MNB'd) like TD stage 5, IN stage 4b and some others I'm still a little farther away from, but eh, just a matter of practice.
oh yeah, with this, I have perfected every stage in MoF on highest difficulty =) extra being default difficulty doesn't matter to me :v
-
About time you had the run, awesome job. Have you decided what to do next?
-
I'm actually not sure. it will PROBABLY be either marisa, futo or seiga. I'm also working on murasa, ichirin and youmu, but I feel like I have to level up a bit before those actually come within reach :v or maybe I should just play them more :'D but yeah, it mostly comes down to some stage 4 and 5 bosses. the only 2 stage 6 bosses I think I could do right now are miko and eirin, but I wanna concentrate on the others fo now.
as much as I'd like to say I'll be doig kaguya, byakuren an shou for you, they're quite outside of my reach right now. my last stage 5 was like 7 deaths :v 5 of which against shou. and kaguya...let's not talk about kaguya :v the only thing I can dodge consistently on that fight is the last non xD man. so much work.
-
Those are all good choices, I think. I haven't really tried Seiga yet (insert username joke here) but she isn't too hard from what I remember. Just try them all and do one that you find fun, imo.

Touhou 7, Perfect Cherry Blossom, All Shottypes 1cc Cleared on Lunatic!! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24687) :D :D
Man, it's really great to finally be decent at PCB again. Being bad at what was originally one of my favourite games in the series has always been a bit of a cloud over my head as I went through challenges in SA, but I'm glad I've finally dusted myself up and gotten this achievement. PCB was my 1st shmup/touhou game to ever 1cc, and on normal, so now I'm a bit teary cause full circle and all that stuff... and this is just a lunatic all shottype clear, I'm not even scoring it yet! (Not that I intend to sadly... I prefer SA scoring :derp:).
-
Sakurei, go for Marisa. She's pretty good fun. :)
if she had more things like Q.E.D she'd be impossible to clear for people who just umlocked the stage. I know you know, but keep in mind that the extra stages aren't meant to be first-clears for lunatic players, but some people who're somewhere between normal and hard. we are too good for them :V
That's why I want difficulty settings. :V It's a bit disappointing to miss out of one reasonably large chunk of the game just because i'm too good (without actually being all that good). I often see the extra stage patterns having a lot of potential for being really fun if only they were actually challenging for Lunatic players.

Saw this earlier today but never commented. That's awesome, very impressive. Pacifism is definitely not my thing though <_<
-
Both rage and accomplishment here in my latest IN Lunatic no-bomb run. Managed to perfect the first three stages consecutively for the first time (not counting Last Spells), and overall had a good Marisa fight with just 1 death (2 total in the stage). Then I die 3 times to Tewi, finding out too late that I had somehow lost the ability to read her shit. 3 times. Then another stupid death on the bunny fairies after her pretty much guaranteed I wouldn't get the clear because both final bosses are ridiculous, and I gameovered on Omoikane's Brain. Though I did capture both parts of midboss-Eirin in the process, which was pretty cool.
So tl;dr, I need to stop sucking at Tewi and I'll soon have that IN Lunatic no-bombs 1cc.
-
I suddenly beat th07 Lunatic with SakuyaB.
10 deaths, 42 bombs.
5 spellcard bonuses, although the last 2 I got from Yuyuko's 3rd and 4th card because I had no bomb.
Many people here would say it's too lame to be an accomplishment.
-
hey hey, I didn't forget meiling! I already did her. somewhere in the old thread, you'll see me having posted it :v
as for remilia and sakuya: fun boss fights, but way over my head currently. I WILL do them. eventually. but not now. as for patchy...well, what everyone said. the stage is so fucking boring, I don't want to attempt it :v
I'll probably do murasa, marisa ichirin for now. look forward to it, I'm close with marisa, at least :v sadly, the stage is a repetitive fuck. so boring ;_;

I finally got a "perfect" Easy clear of something other than IN and TD. I got a NDNB EoSD Easy 1cc! :toot:

Unexpected, but awesome. Do you think that's better than a no bombs?
Probably. A no-bombs is pretty easy to do since you get so many lives. No-missing might easily be harder especially if you are the kind of guy who won't just bomb everything that's a threat.

Bzzzt. For someone who knows the game well, No Deaths should be easier. All you need is a solid strategy and good enough dodging skill to pull it off.

No Death 1cc of Touhou 11, Subterranean Animism, on Lunatic.
(http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24697)
Well that popped up out of nowhere.
Brilliant job!
-
Bzzzt. For someone who knows the game well, No Deaths should be easier. All you need is a solid strategy and good enough dodging skill to pull it off.
Agreed. For SA and MoF, clearing without deaths is actually easier than without bombs.
But then, I'm the kinda guy who not only bombs everything that's a threat, but bombs easy stuff too just because it's free. BV

Same thing for no-bombs really.
-
Same thing for no-bombs really.
Not really. A solid strategy for No Death runs would be a bomb route that gets rid of most of the remotely troubling spots. A solid strategy for No Bomb runs... pretty much doesn't exist, since it's up to how well you deal with each and every pattern in the game. So, a bunch of separate strategies, maybe, but it's quite different.

I just 1cc'd PCB Normal with ReimuB.

I saw this conversation come up after my MoF Lunatic 1lc, and my position is really the same as back then. Even if you know which attacks you're going to bomb in a 1lc, you still can't mess up any of the other stuff in the game - one reckless move or a small misread on something you otherwise didn't expect to die on, and you're finished. It's true you'll have to face more attacks in a no-bombs run, but you should at least be somewhat familiar with even the troublesome ones from practicing for a regular 1cc, so that the most likely scenario is you will only die on some combination of those troublesome attacks rather than all of them. From there it's really only a matter of just not pressing the bomb button.

So, a bunch of separate strategies, maybe, but it's quite different.
I've got a pretty solid strategy. Don't touch the bullets. In a no-bombs run of SA I can afford to fuck up my strategy numerous times. In a no-miss run, I can't affort a single mistake.
The point is basically that for a no-miss run, it's likely that you screw it up by dying on something stupidly but if you die stupidly during a no-bombs run you just continue playing and beat the game unless you screw up too badly.
-
I think it really depends. In a no-death run, in MoF/SA at least (and to a lesser extent TD/UFO), you can fail far more patterns by bombing in advance, but a single mistake will end it no matter how far into the run you are. In a no-bomb run, you can stockpile lives by doing well early on, which will compensate for later mistakes, but you pretty much need to know how to capture every pattern, since a pattern you can't handle may result in several deaths (while most patterns take only one bomb if you auto-bomb them at the right time... well, not so much in SA, but applies to many of the other games).
So a no-death run is more reliant on planning (and tolerance for repeated restarting), while a no-bomb run is more reliant on dodging ability.
I'd say a no-death run would be easier personally, but I've been route planning for survival since some of my first Normal 1ccs, so it probably fits better with my play style.
-
but you pretty much need to know how to capture every pattern, since a pattern you can't handle may result in several deaths
Amen to that. Kaguya is a bitch who pretty much have kept me from even attempting IN No-bombs because I can't reliably handle a lot of her patterns.
-
Well that popped up out of nowhere.
Brilliant job!
Not really, congrats to Nindella for finally pulling it off, I saw some of your failures on stream (that Stage 4 back into a bullet death...)
-

Eh, well actually it sorta did.
Thanks everyone though, and gosh, I didn't realise there'd be such a debate between NM and NB. I'll get the No-Bomb done some time soon when I can gather up the strength again, haha. I'm close on that at least. :3
This No-Death did kinda come outta nowhere, those who watched my stream would know that I'd been strategising a way to get a No-Death by strategic bombing and safespots with ReimuC (whose bomb is, as most know, effectively a spell-skipper) however, those attempts usually ended on stage 4 or 5 cause of mess ups on Satori and stage 5's stage/midboss, and quite alot of them did, so I sorta put No-Death way down on this list of priorities.
Then come a random ReimuA vanilla 1cc to relax from No-Bomb runs, and I somehow manage to pull off what I've been trying for ages with ReimuC. Now that really came out of nowhere. :derp:
-
Playing against Kogasa, I accidentally shot Kogasa to hard with the needle that I killed the first non-spell when i wasn't in a position to get into the safespot. But heh, I managed to NMNB her anyway. :V That felt good.
-
PoDD Lunatic no deaths clear. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJTEosuYm8Q)
I'm glad I got that out of the way.
Also, something not really related to Touhou - I came relatively close to beating DOJBL. (http://oi49.tinypic.com/17r3mp.jpg)
I guess I want to ask, if I actually manage to beat the game, would anyone around here be able to record it for me? I don't think I have any way to do it that wouldn't result in horrible quality.
And congrats on the no-death SA clear, Nindel. I should have said it in my the previous post. While I do think that no bombs is harder in that game, the two things are still more or less on the same level. I'm sure you'll get a no-bomb run easily enough, especially since you got no-deaths on just a casual ReimuA run, from the sounds of it.
-
Nice job Nin and Zil :>. And good luck on the 2-ALL!
EDIT: Decided to play some PoDD myself since I haven't played it since way back when I got my Normal clear. Just got a Hard clear (http://i.imgur.com/bnuDF.png) a moment ago, and got a no damage Chiyuri (http://i.imgur.com/23zIL.png) to go with it. Onward to Lunatic! Maybe. It's still kicking my ass quite hard right now :V.
-
Oh boy, I finally beat my first Extra boss - Ran. (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=24742) Finished it with 1 life and 1 bomb. I've come very close with other Extra bosses before (Hourai Doll with Mokou, Subterranean Rose(phase 1) with Koishi, Native Myth vs. Central Myth with Suwako, Full Moon Pompokolin with Mamizou), but have never actually finished one. Guess its time to try and
not fail beat the rest now.
-
You guys are amazing at this stuff :o how long have you been playing again Nindella?
Got the "pixel perfect" dodge in 9-4 off 6 times in a row. Still no more than 2 in the same run yet, but oh so close. Always so close. I'll be happy even if I don't break the record or even clear the scene afterwards.

In a few weeks it'll be 9 months or something now, time flies so fast :derp:
-
Wondering on what should I upload to Youtube I've decided to do several silly things and see if anything cool comes out of them. This far, nothing cool.
However, I did attempt no-miss PCB Ultra normal, which ended in 2-miss (http://i.imgur.com/comXb.png) run. It's certainly doable, but seems to be not cool enough. Or meaningful. Hurm, let's see what I can come up next. Maybe something will come out of it.
-
> 9 months.
I have been playing for over 4 years.
OH WAT. anyway, congratz on that no death run.
also congratz to Zil's no death run of PoDD :v
good job guys.

Feeling worthless is my default mood. Don't join the club.

Some more PoDD crap from me. The no death thing got me wondering about the levels of luck involved in clearing PoDD, and wondering just how "consistent" I really am. To test myself, I figured I'd just try random survival runs with Marisa. I just won two in a row, with no losses yet. I lasted over 5 minutes in the first round against Chiyuri in that second one, though she still killed me (and then killed me again.) The score made it onto the board too, so if I had done an ounce of real scoring in the early stages I might've reached 80 million. Anyway, it's reassuring to win twice in row like that with Marisa. I'm going to see how many consecutive runs I can get.

It warms my heart to see people playing PoDD. Good luck. :3 And use Marisa she has some good mojo.
-

Thanks :>. I've tried Reimu/Mari/Mima/Yumemi. Reimu/Mari's are cool, Mima's my favorite because of her Lv.1 (but she lets things get a bit too out of control), and Yumemi is Yumemi. Op as hell, but I have a hard time reaching the extends with her. We'll see what happens.
EDIT: It seems extends are only at 10 and 20. I thought they were every 10. This makes my choice simpler... And the game much more terrifying.
-
Hell God Sword perfect timeout.
Also, Greatest Treasure perfect timeout.
In 1 and 3 tries respectively.
Would someone be willing to record those for me? VirtualDub is being retarded again and dropping loads of frames.

Just captured Scarlet Gensokyo (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24755) (Hard version, MarisaB).
Really didn't aim for it since it was on a full run, but I'll take it anyway.
Also, I think it's the first time I cap a final spell (except Resurrection Butterfly), so yay !
-
Captured all 141 cards (http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee487/KarisaMirisame/th7-141captrb.png) in Perfect Cherry Blossom. That makes two games where I've captured every spell. I think PCB was easier than TD to accomplish this in, because PCB doesn't have anything like Seiga's Overdrive (well, maybe the stage 6 spam, but that's not a spell).
-
EDIT: It seems extends are only at 10 and 20. I thought they were every 10. This makes my choice simpler... And the game much more terrifying.
Ahaha, oh man. I admit, I got a laugh out of that. But yeah, only two extends. You should have no trouble reaching them on Lunatic mode, regardless of which character you use. Hanging on to them is another story. Of course, you can still try to score tens of millions just for the hell of it. Chiyuri's your go-to girl for that. :>
I'm going to see how many consecutive runs I can get.
Bleh. I ended up getting a third 1cc, then bungled the fourth run pretty horribly. 3 deaths to Reimu, and I pretty much knew I'd lost. Still no-missed Chiyuri and came damn close (I think) to beating Yumemi. The deaths were all my fault, of course. Getting frustrated and shooting myself in the foot. Had nothing to do with the game screwing me over, so I'm still happy with how the dumb experiment turned out. Three consecutive 1ccs with one of the safer mid-tier characters. Not bad in my book.
And that should be enough PoDD playing for a few days. :V
-
Well I've made it to match 7 a couple times, which is a lot better than I was before. Sadly this also seems to be around the point where the game gets 20x as hard.
(http://i.imgur.com/EngpA.png)
Yes, I died 4 times to Reimu. Next goal is to get to Chiyuri... Baby steps or something like that.
-
So I was playing around with MoF Lunatic and after about a half hour of not perfecting stage 1 because I suck I had a run which ended on midboss Sanae, which is farther than I ever got before on 1 credit. ND1B on Nitori made me pretty happy too. But honestly, the reason I'm even mentioning this is because I capped all of Aya's spells. DAFUQ?!
Spell records:
Saruta Cross 7/18
Storm Day 3/14
Peerless Wind God 2/12
Terukuni throughout the World 4/9.
Don't ask me how or why this happened, but the funniest part is I have really yet to figure out her damn nonspells (any of them). Unfortunately it's not worth posting the replay since it desynced
-
Did you start the replay from stage 4? It's pretty common for MoF full-game replays to desync if you do that. Does it sync starting from stage 3 (fast-forwarding is fine)?

2-miss Pacifist PCB Alice.
Went pretty okay. For some reason really easy patterns become a lot harder to dodge when you have to keep dodging them for a long time. I'm looking at you 'First Spell I Can Never Remember The Name of'. Also made a pretty implausible dodge on the second card because I managed to get myself in a tight position. First death went to the first spell, second death went to the final spell.
I'd like to get a perfect pacifist on her but I'm just a bit afraid of the final spell. How to avoid running into walls? It's gonna be Orin all over again.
-
If you're not running from side to side trying to redirect most of the bullets, you could try that.
Go ahead and pacify the stage portion too. :D
-

What walls? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdD7rwy0eeU&t=239)
-
Not solid walls sure but moving through so dense arrowheads like that for 50 seconds on top of a flawless pacifist run is not very fun. I'll try that moving from side to side thing you mentioned up there BT.
Also, got a 3-miss pacifist on Youmu. Got stomped pretty hard by HGS today. It's her hardest card, shut up Ihavenoname. :V Other than that's she seems to be pretty much a joke.
Although she does have quite a fixation on making me eat those words by killing me on the 3rd spell for some reason. I don't know what's wrong with me to cause me to play so retardedly but as long as I'm a happy retard then it's alright.
EDIT:
Got a timeout of Kanako's opener non-spell. Three tries. First two fucked up because my eyes stopped working 40 seconds in. I managed to concentrate throughout all of it on my third try though. Was a pretty intense experience.
Also timed out Yamato Torus but I did that long ago so it doesn't matter. And I got VoWG down to 29 seconds before I started dying like a clown. Yeah, nerves and distractions were all over the place so it was inevitable.
-
I got a couple runs on Nue and did pretty well. of course no bombs or UFOs allowed.
the blue UFO card is definitely the hardest with ReimuA. and now that I got used to the survival spell, I can do it, too.
sorry to IHNN and seiga, but grudge bow is super easy :v it hasn't killed me once (yet). but it's a cool last spell. definitely better than the likes of mishaguji, suteranean rose or full moon pompokolin.
it may be my favorite last spell for extras, really. one of these days, I'm going to time it out just for the heck of it :V
but enough of that. Nue will be my 4th extra perfect. that is what I decided because the only thing really troubling me is the blue UFO one.
> once you know the trick to every card, Nue becomes pretty easy. to think I ever had problems on her makes me wonder what the fuck rode me. such a fun boss. (Flandre is still a lil' ahead :v just saying, but nue definitely takes the 2nd spot easily.)
-
Did you start the replay from stage 4? It's pretty common for MoF full-game replays to desync if you do that. Does it sync starting from stage 3 (fast-forwarding is fine)?
Haven't tried starting from beginning (or elsewhere I guess), I could look at that but I hate having to wait through multiple stages if I have no intent on watching them.
-
You're learning Sakurei. Next lesson is accepting Nue as the best Extra boss. Even if her final card is a bit of a joke, it's still pretty fun. Her thing over Flandre though is that her stage and the rest of her boss isn't as sleep inducingly boring. Oh and she has non-spells.
--
Got a timeout of Sanae's opener. So beyond easy that I wasn't really satisfied with it so I remade it in one more attempt to go through a wall here and there. Now i'm more satisfied.
-
yeah, Flandre's non's are pretty boring with the only exception being the one after starbow break.
the rest of the stage? patchy is a hell lot better mid-boss than kogasa is. silent selene and philosopher's stone beat kogasa completely (royal flare is memo-shit, so, uh. yeah) and if you no-shoot the books at the end on the stage, they're really fun, too. perhaps a tad on the pixel perfection side, but eh, w/e.
what does UFO extra have? orbs coming down at you :V memo-shit with the big fairies. and post-kogasa, which is pretty cool, admittedly. that favors EoSD stage 2:1
nue wins with the nons, yeah. makes it like 2:2 :V
Cranberry trap vs heian dark clouds - I'd say it's a draw. they're both super easy. you might be able to argue that cranberry trap can be done the same way every time due to its nature, but it also lets you do some crazy shit, if you really wanted to.
laevantein vs red UFOs - I can't say laevantein is really fun. Nue takes this one.
4 of a kind vs mysterious snake - it should be obvious that 4 of a kind is the superior spellcard here. if you think otherwise, you should get your head checked, really.
kagome, kagome vs blue UFOs - tough to say, to be honest, but I favor kagome, to be honest. it has less stupid properties, and it doesn't do hitting you with a UFO in the face if you're not quick enough to destroy those :v
maze of love vs chimera - chimera takes the win. eas y as that.
starbow break vs green UFO - starbow break definitely. Flandre's best spell, imo. Green ufo is boring repeat what you did once - never fail again. with a little variation, of course.
Catadioptric vs undefined darkness - I'd say it depends on how you do them. there are easy, but boring ways for both, but I think you can only really make it fun with nue. so nue takes this one
counter clock vs color UFO - color UFO, yeah. counter clock is boring clear once - never fail again
ATTWN vs heiankyou - eh, I don't know, really. my intuition says that ATTWN has less retarded movements, so I'd pick it, but it might also only be me. I honestly don't think heiankyou has anything super cool in it, whereas you can be retarded with ATTWN opener, at least. but both are sort of static, for the most part, anyways.
Q.E.D vs grudge bow - yeah, already said grudge bow is best extra ender.
WHICH LEAVES US WITH THE GLORIOUS SCORE OF ME CONTRADICTING MYSELF :V because with the first being a draw, nue has 5:4 spellcards in her favor :V I didn't think it'd turn out this way.
OKAY, looking at it one by one, nue might be better, but I am a biased bitch and I don't care about it :v also, starbow break easily beats everything, except grudge bow. just saying.
> this is totally off-topic and I did nothing cool in the last hour. WELP. just trying to make a point here.
-
Patchy is a hell lot better mid-boss than kogasa is.
Patchy being better than Kogasa in terms of anything is a lie. Please stop lying. Guerilla Typhoon is dope btw. Easy but fun.
what does UFO extra have? orbs coming down at you :V memo-shit with the big fairies. and post-kogasa, which is pretty cool, admittedly. that favors EoSD stage 2:1
There's no memo shit in UFO Extra's stage portion. What are you talking about?
4 of a kind vs mysterious snake - it should be obvious that 4 of a kind is the superior spellcard here. if you think otherwise, you should get your head checked, really.
Iirc, Snakes die quicker and since they are both non-issues then the winner is the one that get's over with fastest. :V (Other than that I can see your point)
So you'll probably soon realize that Flan is inferior. And if you really wanna dodge bullets going coming down the screen from one direction then forget about Starbow Break and go play King Kraken Strike. :V
-
HOLY WHAT THE HELL how did I just do this?! :o
[attach=1]
I have never even seen the second half of Nue until this run - I normally suck at the stage, and don't even survive to meet her half the time. But this time, first ever capture of Red UFO, first ever capture of Green UFO, first ever capture of Chimera, and captured Undefined Darkness on the first time I ever saw it (barely - nearly timed it out from not knowing what I'm doing, and no idea how I was dodging at the speed she was flying by the end). I think I could have got the finale too, but I wasn't gonna risk anything by that point.
I don't even know. I just got SUPER lucky, or my skill shot through the roof overnight.
Edit: And I just noticed I've apparently always been using an 0 in my name in the scores instead of an o. How did that get there...
-

yeah, if you put their 3 spells like I did with the bosses, you'll see that kogasa loses 2:1 to patchy :v
of course. the big fairies before kogasa and after post-kogasa are ALWAYS THE SAME. you can literally do the same thing. always. and never die. and fuck, they and the orbs make up most of the stage.
snakes is boring. 4 of a kind at least has some sort of randomness in it that makes it different every time. that's what I was trying to argue with for those 2. which is why i gave Flan that point :v
also: king kraken strike is awesome. but everything is pink and I can't see shit :v I'm working on UFO, don't worry :'D ALL OF IT. except stage 1, because I can do stage 1 :V SO PROUD OF MYSELF.
I should try a run and see how far I can get. my last attempt at UFO lunatic ended against ichirin midboss xD
also congratulations, goldom. Nue was actually my last extra clear, so I was very reluctant to go further with her always believing I sucked balls in the fight :V turned out I just lacked practice. I am sure you can imrpove your performance and clear the remaining extras.
-
one of the safer mid-tier characters.
I suppose, but I'd put her and Kana in a tier by themselves. Easier than Ellen and much easier than Chiyuri, but harder than the others.
Your experiment turned out how I thought it would, given your choice of character. Nice to see it validated, though.
Looking forward to seeing you recreate the shmup thread in Akyu's... with a DOJ 2-all for an opening post.
and you said you were quitting shmups :p
-
Almost my last as well actually - only Extras I've never cleared are 2, 4, 5 and 13 now, and 5 I've gotten within 10 seconds of winning. That said, 6 and 11 are still more often failed than not, whereas 7, 8 and 10 are super-comfortable.
-
Just tried an EoSD Extra run. Yeah, sucks pretty hard. Only good cards in there were Philosophers Stone and Starbow Break and they are easy for me. QED is pretty tough but that's only when it's about to die and is more about precision than reading anyway so I don't particularly care for it.
I think I'll join my friend in the Flandre sucks club. Seriously man, this was fucking weak. Nue wins for me.
-
Got Byakuren's 2nd nonspell to 3 seconds before dying. Don't you love it when impossible attacks suddenly become possible?
To actually capture it is another matter, because I wasn't trying to time it out at the time. <_____________________<
-
sorry to IHNN and seiga, but grudge bow is super easy :v
I haven't died to that in forever :V
Though I'm sure with the pressure of a perfect run on it I probably will (I'm getting to it, but I have other priorities)
-
I suppose, but I'd put her and Kana in a tier by themselves. Easier than Ellen and much easier than Chiyuri, but harder than the others.
Oh? Personally I would rank them as Yumemi > Rikako > Reimu > Marisa > Mima > Kotohime > Kana > Ellen > Chiyuri. I think Marisa's charge attack puts her above the others. Kotohime is a very similar character, but her charge attack is a bit harder to use. Mima gets quicker wins at the cost of making things more dangerous, which more or less balances out, but I think her charge attack is bit too slow. Just my opinions anyway. No doubt it depends on play style. I could be putting too much importance on charge attacks.
and you said you were quitting shmups :p
Did I now? I just meant quitting Touhou. At least the ones that don't have Phantasmagoria in the title. Other shmups are still fair game. ;)
Oh, and Marisa's the best EX boss. And Kana has the best all-vertical bullet spam.
-
Oh, and Marisa's the best EX boss.
Would love to agree but I had to restrict myself to bosses whose patterns I can dodge. Marisa too hard :)

I haven't played UFO but Flandre is a pretty lame boss. Midboss Patchouli is pretty good but that's just three attacks (and one of them sucks).
-
First time playing MarisaB in UFO, tried all kinds of silly new tricks so had about 8 silly deaths on the way, made it to Shou's last spell. This doesn't seem so bad at all. I kinda like this shot.
-
Oh, and Marisa's the best EX boss.
Man, it's because of you and that stupid 90fps run that I can't play GFW Extra for beans. I keep dying to everything in the stage portion and when I don't I die five times to Test Slave. (I don't know how) Yet I can't stop~
@Seiga, are you doing that silly thing that completely redirects the rings? Just take it normally, go from center to right/left side to center to right/left side to center to yadda yadda and you should never have to time it out.

You talk like it's not impossible that way. :(
-
Seeing as I can only do it via the "impossible" way, yes, I am. (not that I can't do the other method, just that there's really no reason to, it's really fucked up)
-
EoSD Hard with MarisaA. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24797)
Good thing I didn't restart after dying to Cirno...
So yeah, game cleared with all shottypes. I love EoSD :3
-
JUST A COUPLE MORE SHOTS (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24800)
6 lives into Shou, fuuuuuuuck. I can do this.
If only I hadn't died on the stage 6 opener or run into Byakuren or bombed Magic Butterfly right before I capped it, I could have cleared...
-
Looking forward to seeing you recreate the shmup thread in Akyu's... with a DOJ 2-all for an opening post.
Ah, I'm not sure if I should really. I don't know. Anyway, the replay fucks up at the end of 2-5, so all I have is a crummy screenshot. (http://oi46.tinypic.com/258uyax.jpg)
Pretty good feeling though. Hyperventilating, hands went numb for no reason, etc. Not sure what to do now though. I guess I'll try to play some other Cave shmup. Dangun Feveron looked kinda fun. Or at least funny. Or maybe DDP.
Seeing as I can only do it via the "impossible" way, yes, I am. (not that I can't do the other method, just that there's really no reason to, it's really fucked up)
I used to favor the crazy misdirecting method, but now I agree the staying in the middle is easier. Not even all that hard really if you just keep moving horizontally.

I'm not pretty jealous. Cool stuff bro. How many hours did you put into that game? I need to know to emasculate myself a bit more.
-
I don't even know. I just got SUPER lucky, or my skill shot through the roof overnight.
Update: it's the first one. :( Half a dozen more tries, 2 dead on Blue UFO, 2 dead on Darkness, 2 restarted before Nue.
On the other hand, minor victories - tried MarisaA on Normal for the first time and cleared with 1 more life (4) and 50m more score than ever on anyone else before. Also got for the first time the nonspell before Devil's Recitation.
-
Not sure how many hours. I did a lot of route planning way back in January or something, then kinda stopped playing. Then I picked it up again about a week ago and kinda refreshed everything. It didn't involve nearly as much raw grinding as some of those 90fps runs, but I think I've improved a lot since I did those.
Oh and apparently the replay works now so I'll get a recording up whenever. I guess I'll make a shooting game thread too. (It's on 12 now?)
-
Are you playing on Shmupmame? You can make it display your playtime by right-clicking on the tabs, then Customize Fields and then add the feature.
You need to tell me your playtime. I've got an hour count in my head right now and you need to tell me something that's higher than that or my head will explode. Don't fail me son. I'm one of your kind, one with the loli's. So seriously, don't fail me. :3
-
165 hours, 13 minutes, and 38 seconds. :3
-
Oh thank goodness. That's higher than what I've anticipated. Now my head won't explode.
Let me thank you properly then.
"PoDD is not that bad of a game" - There, I said it. I wanted to link you porn but i'm not sure how this place's mods would find my taste so you'll have to do without. And congratulations again on getting that clear. I should really get working on that myself. I've only got around 35 hours into the game and I have a lot to learn.
-
a crummy screenshot. (http://oi46.tinypic.com/258uyax.jpg)
Holy crap awesome! And yes, make a thread!
It was also suggested that you submit it to the DOJ BL highscore thread on shmups farm. Do you visit there? If not, that would make for one hell of a first post.
Still laughing about the timing. 165 hours, I know, but it feels like you did it the very next day. Got any other insanely tough goals that I can encourage/tease you about? Because this one didn't take you very long :p
-
165 hours isn't long? You guys are madmen >_>
-
FINALLY
FINALLY!!
FINALLY!!!!!!!!
:D :DTen Desires lunatic 1cc!! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24808) :D :D
No more shall I be mocked for not having this clear :V
Because HELL YES 1 bomb Seiga and 2 bomb Futo fights. I was literally shaking after that Tongling Yoshika capture.
Also, this run contains less "X X C X X C" than usual due to actually dodging the 4th and 5th stages. So in the end, I got a compromise between mashing X and C and dodging things, the way I was told to and the way I wanted to.
UFO is all that remains, and I've been working towards that one and it shouldn't take too long...
-
Wow, congratulations on your 2-all, Zil! Your post motivated me to give Black Label a shot (only played WL before, and then again, not many hours) and while I don't think It's a great game, stage 5 is pretty cool. I may try a 1-all of this. By the way, if you're looking for a game with fast bullets, there are much better choices than Dangun Feveron IMHO.
Also gratz to noname for clearing a bad game :D
-
It was also suggested that you submit it to the DOJ BL highscore thread on shmups farm. Do you visit there? If not, that would make for one hell of a first post.
Never done anything there, no. I guess I could submit it, though the score is horrendous.
By the way, if you're looking for a game with fast bullets, there are much better choices than Dangun Feveron IMHO.
Do tell! Actually, I'd love to find a shmup that's very similar to PoDD, though I've really no idea what to look for. Fast bullets are a good thing though, for sure.
-
congratz IHNN. I remember TD being my first lunatic game :V but it didn't look pretty and I don't think I dged much. having a first clear with dodging is actually pretty cool. =)
now you never have to play it again, isn't that great? :D
-
similar to PoDD
Don't tell me you haven't played Twinkle Star Sprites? Well, It's debatable how similarly the games actually play, but still, there's one game right there.
Do tell!
Gunbird 2 and Dragon Blaze are two of my personal favourites, very awesome games with lightning fast bullets, and a distinctly fast pace (one loop isn't much more than 10 minutes, the stages and boss fights go by quickly)
However they have very few (if any?) random elements.
Of course, you could play Dangun too and see how you like it.
-
I'd second a recomendation of Psikyo's shmups (also try out Strikers 99) since they are fast-paced and many people find them very fun once you get into them. They are heavily about memorization and offer no focused movement speeds but that doesn't seem to be a problem for you Zil.
To be fair though, DOJBL has nothing on Psikyo's games in terms of memorization so you may not necessarily enjoy it but I'd say give it a shot.
-
alright, I've been playing horribly the whole day. (man, it's only 12.30 pm, maybe it'll get better :v), but I managed to perfect futo, at least.
Perfect stage 5 TD (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24811)
Fun fact about this? it's also the first run to get past iwafune :'D just shows that futo doesn't have anything remotely difficult except for that spell. it's also the first stage that is higher than stage 3 outside of MoF <.< well, w/e
now, I just have to not fuck up one of marisa's pattern. it's always something else, but it's always something. which is pretty annoying. fuck, I even lost runs to event horizon. wth? :v
EDIT: well...
Perfect IN stage 4B (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24812)
1 run later I got this :v I safespotted starlight typhoon because I didn't care anymore, but aside from that, everything was done properly. marisa's a fun boss, but I think I have problems reaing the star's hitboxes. might need some practice on her, regardless
EDIT2:
OH HAI
Perfect UFO stage 4 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24815)
well, that happened. inbetween some failed extra perfects, I play this stage and one of these runs happened to be the perfect one. I thought I'd die like...3 times in the last non :V I'm not good at it, even though it's static. I also pulled 2 way too close dodges on it.
I messed up dipper creeping close, but I somehow managed, nonetheless. murasa's an awesome fight and she's got a good stage to boot! just the midboss is bleh :V
makes 3 perfects in one day :'D man, that's pretty cool.
-
I found a safe-spot in Murasa's second nonspell. :D
-
Made it to Open Universe in 90fps GFW Extra. Actually survived the first 'wave' and was 5% away from a bomb.
Considering some runs go so badly they fail to reach Marisa, and this is my first time past Test Slave, this is progress!
-
Cool stuff, guys, congratulations. Especially you, Zil!
-
Capped Hourai Elixir on easy (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24820). Was pretty hard.
-
Perfect stage 5 TD (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24811)
Perfect IN stage 4B (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24812)
Perfect UFO stage 4 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24815)
Wow. Any one of those would be awesome, but to do three in the same day is crazy. What's your next goal?
-
next immediate goal is Nue. After that I'll probably go into PCB and SA some more while doing ichirin as well. ( I already did stage 3 in PCB, but stage 5 and 6 aren't done yet). possibly doing you, too :V
I might also consider Eirin, but I think I'm too inconsistent to try her now. so yeah, a lot of stuff to do. I wanna "save" EoSD, though. until I have a recording software, so i can show off those, too. will redo meiling, when the time comes, too
-
now you never have to play it again, isn't that great? :D
But...but what about Marisa/Sanae/Youmu...
and what about perfecting Seiga/Futo/Miko/Mamizou...
Actually brb perfecting one of Seiga and Futo :V
-
single stages, alright. bu I mean whole runs. (excluding extra. which is a horrible stage, in any case)
> also, I don't think you need to clear the games with everyone. I, for one, have only cleared the games with my primary shottype :V I suggest Futo, btw. she is easier, safe for iwafune. I dunno, feels like Seiga's bullshitting more.
-
1cced TD on normal with Marisa :toot:
Haven't cleared a single extra stage other than PoFV, but I'm not half bad at Koishi...but that stage.
-
wel, IT HAS BEEN A WHILE, RIGHT?!
Perfect TD stage 4 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24822)
yeah, it wasn't nue after all :V I don't know what it is, but something IS wrong with me today. I haven't played this well since I never played this well before. that was like 5 tries in. and the seiga fight ended only one.
let's see if I can do another stage before the day is over. I'm playing horribly on UFO extra, but anything else goes, really. but I doubt it, the day's just got 2 1/2 hours left :'D
-
Now is the time to do a bunch of easy stage 2s and 3s you've never bothered with because they seemed too easy. Might as well knock them out now. <_<
-
wut? you sound like you have specific bosses in mind. I mean, I already did some stage 2 and 3 bosses, but uh, as you probably know not all of them :V is there a reason why you seem so discontent ? :o
also, you do nitori :v just saying.
-
wut? you sound like you have specific bosses in mind. I mean, I already did some stage 2 and 3 bosses, but uh, as you probably know not all of them :V is there a reason why you seem so discontent ? :o
Not really, they just seem like good choices if you want quick victories. I know there are plenty of bosses (Chen, Mystia, Keine, Yoshika to name a few) that fall under that myself, so I figured there would be some for you too.also, you do nitori :v just saying.
Someday. <_<
-
well, except for SA, UFO and IN, I did all stage 2 and 3 bosses :v well, and kyoko, but nobody cares about kyoko. so I dunno about them being quick victories for me :v I honestly suck against Keine, yuugi (or rather, the stage) and kogasa. and ichirin's pretty tough. I could probably do parsee and mystia in a couple tries, but...yesterday is over, so now it's back to being a horrible player :V
I'll see what I can do about those, though. I might do them along with Nue (who is going to be the next big perfect, promise xD) for a little break inbetween. I suppose mystia, kyoko and parsee will come pretty fast; yuugi might, too. if the stage doesn't hate me. Keine, kogasa and ichirin...might take a bit, actually.
-
Gunbird 2 and Dragon Blaze are two of my personal favourites, very awesome games with lightning fast bullets, and a distinctly fast pace (one loop isn't much more than 10 minutes, the stages and boss fights go by quickly)
However they have very few (if any?) random elements.
Of course, you could play Dangun too and see how you like it.
I have played Gunbird 2. The fast pace is fun, and I generally don't mind memorization. I never really went anywhere with it though, so I will be sure to check it out again. Or maybe Strikers 1999, which I think is a bit easier.
I really like random patterns though, which is part of the reason I like PoDD so much. It has nothing to do with the PvP aspect of it. I don't think Twinkle Star Sprites really plays the same way. I'd really love to find a game that plays like PoDD, but in a more structured fashion, so the scoring wouldn't be so uncontrollable and bosses don't randomly let you win after 10 seconds. (I've even considered learning Danmakufu and trying to design one myself.) Anyway, I think I will try Dangun Feveron first, if possible. From what I've seen it looks pretty fun, though parts might get pretty boring after being repeated enough times. At the very least, I'll 1cc it.
And yes, make a thread!
Well, I did. I won't be surprised if it doesn't go anywhere though, seeing as the old one died of inactivity in the first place.
And by the way, thanks for the congratulations everyone.
Open Universe in 90fps GFW Extra.
Best thing ever. I advise trying to time your freeze so the ice breaks just as the wave ends, Otherwise the numbers that display your freeze percentage will block your view of the bullets. (Assuming you're looking that high on the screen, but I don't see how else you'd read that thing fast enough.)
Pfft. Nevermind I was thinking the Flashlight spell.
-
LFS CAP (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24831) ON MY 10TH EVER ATTEMPT
HOLY FUUUUCK I think this warrants a :smug:
Yes it does
-
Speaking of Byakuren, 1 power cap of 2nd nonspell, as in, not a timeout. That's awesome for me.
-
Scarlet Bat "Vampirish Night" (aka StB 7-6) no-pictures timeout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36ZxRi9oE38).
Holy crap, the number of times I got tackled by Remilia is just...wow. I think I got hit by her more often than the knives.
Having three deaths with <20 seconds on the clock didn't particularly help, either.
-
LFS CAP (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24831) ON MY 10TH EVER ATTEMPT
HOLY FUUUUCK I think this warrants a :smug:
Yes it does
Nice! Now do it at 1 power. :V
-
well, that happened quicker than the other 3.
Perfect UFO extra (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24841)
that means no deaths/misses, no bombs and no UFOs. it's funny how essentially, 90% of my score is the captured spellcards, and around 20 million were for the clear. without the UFOs, scoring in UFO is horrible. always :V
I'm uncertain of what to do next, but I might devote a bit of time for the earlier stages. not sure yet.
-
Made a StB video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdnP79f9LFk) containing some highlights from speedrunning and hard stuff like escaping the kunai ring in 7-5 without camera (my best timeout attempt is getting it down to ~45 seconds left IIRC), capturing 7-2 the hard way and MMD Hatate playing StB. Mostly a fun video editing project.
Congrats on the perfect Extra Sakurei! Perfects are so annoying to go for >:(
-
I was doing some Stage 6 of UFO Lunatic for warmup and I while going for a capture of Legendary Flying Saucer I died on the blue/purple wave and decided to just start timing the card out at the red waves instead of finishing it off. I then proceeded to timeout the whole card without dying a single time after that first death, holy shit. I didn't even consider it was possible for me, I just kind of did it. It was kind of lucky in its own way, if I hadn't died on the first waves of the attack I would have probably just captured it instead of going for a timeout. I probably wont go for a NMNB timeout though, as it's a bit too tedious to get that far, and I rather have the capture for my history anyway.
tldr; 1MNB timeout of LFS
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24845

Touhou 13 extra clear. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24756)
Replay instead of a video because Malky couldn't be bothered to record one for me.
-
Broke 1 billion on PCB the easy way, and then I got a neat lunatic 1cc out of nowhere. Pretty nice score too, I think. I'm almost too hardcore sometimes :V
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24851
-
Captured: Rainbow danmaku (normal), Last word deflation world and last word unreasonable butterfly storm today :3 and i wasnt even trying for storm.....
-
Managed to beat TD's extra. :) Haven't saved a replay though, which is severly annoying.
-
Touhou 13 extra clear. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24756)
Replay instead of a video because Malky couldn't be bothered to record one for me.
Oh, whoops! Sorry about that. Clicked the PM, thought "okay, I'll do it when I get back from shopping" and then forgot about it. :fail:
Working on it now. Takes me a while to do these, though...
-
SA Extra no-focus clear (http://youtu.be/D3CPSH0v6gg) with Reimu-A. Wasn't that hard, but it's still an annoying challenge.
-
70 million, 1000% motivation finish of C-1. Hardest GFW route for sure so that feels just great.
Also 1cc'd UFO Lunatic with Reimu-A and Marisa-A back-to-back just now. That's a great feeling too, the Marisa run even ended 2/0 which is totally inexplicable to me and almost makes me regret not going for blues (although LFS surely would have been tense if I had done that.) and the Reimu run almost had a "perfect" Ichirin (dead on second non because I suck sometimes) and Murasa (bombed the second non because I don't even know)
So that's all characters done for UFO but all shot-types has to be done at some point... I know what I must do next with this game and that is 1cc with Marisa-B :ohdear:
-
TD Stage 3 Lunatic Perfect Pacifist (http://youtu.be/1UTggqBkdKM). More lucky dodges. Somehow took really few attempts (first time I made it to Yoshika was a clear, though I was lucky as fuck in some of her non-cards).
-
Virtue of Wind God 2D0B timeout.
Getting there!
-
Perfect stage 5 of UFO Lunatic! Yay. :D http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24849
Opened up UFO today and instantly got another NMNBNUFO stage 5, pretty cool. I think I'm ready to get that clear now.
-
After not playing Touhou for approx one month, i come back to attempt a game, so far not managed to 1cc hard mode of MoF, even though i could do it before, so now i try VowG on Lunatic, not bad for a first attempt managed to 1D1B, lets hope for a No Death No Bomb.
-
Nabbed a timeout of Keine's first boss non. I was pretty surprised by how many bullets was in it when not shooting familiars. Pretty fun attack. Unfortunately i messed up at the 2nd one. Will have to get that some other time. :)
-
Flandre Scarlet has been slain. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24905)

NMNB Murasa :D (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwNh5EKoOmA)
I still don't see the appeal of doing the same with stages (most of the time, at least... some stages may be worth the effort) but it sure is nice to give the bosses your all, especially in UFO since I'd normally bomb the everliving shit out of them. Lately I've started to actually try to capture their spells from time to time.
I will get that Shou NMNB if It's the last thing I do, but Greatest Treasure can fuck itself, so I'm unsure if I really want to go through the trouble of "perfecting" the entire stage. By the way, I would like some of you superior players input on this. If I want a NMNBNUFO run of stage 5, which is better, needles or homing? Assuming I actually want to capture all the spells, homing is pretty useful against Aura of Light, and it definitely helps against the third non and Vajra. Homing might be better for doom fairies as well, but needles should be superior against everything else. These are my thoughts at least, I could be wrong somewhere.
-
After quite a few attempts, EoSD Hard No Bombs 1cc (ReimuB). With 0 lives left, of course.
Deaths on:
Extreme Color Typhoon (blah, always have to mess up on Stage 3 SOMEWHERE)
Stage 4 green books
Three fairies at very end of Stage 4 (bleh)
Water Elf
Sakuya's 2nd nonspell (best nonspell of all time)
Eternal Meek
Scarlet Meister (REALLY stupid death where I pretty much just stood there and let a bullet fly into me because I thought the card was about to end (which it was). Remilia had a millimeter of health left and if I just sidestepped I would have captured it)
Scarlet Gensokyo
-
PROGRESS SIGN [That nonspell with the aimed fireballs and random jellybeans after Grand Cross]
God flipping dammit. I had a No Deaths stage portion, a fabulous first few nons/cards, then I had to die who knows how much times to the giant flashlight spell and Open Universe. I died to the aimed nonspell because I forgot to move. Seriously.
That is an AMAZING RUN down the drain.
Oh yeah, BONUS CONTENT: I actually managed to survive a full wave of Big Crunch without dying/bombing. 90fps Big Crunch, when regular damn Big Crunch is hard enough.
-
Finally cleared UFO Extra for the second time, after 5 days of struggling since my first victory came by complete surprise! Still not really feeling like I've improved at Nue in those 5 days, but I did figure out to use the UFOs to rack up 5 extra bombs, saving me despite that =\.
-
I captured Orin's Ghost Wheels on lunatic for the first time ever today, that makes me very happy because I've now captured everything Orin uses on lunatic. :D
-
I went back to DS for a while and improved 10 scenes and got the total time to 44:59.81!!!
9-1 and 12-2 are among the improved scenes.
Replays are attached.
-
I was finally able to capture a couple more of Kanako's spell cards on normal.
Captured "Mountain of Faith" and "Miracle of Otensui".
-
I just screamed so loud I must have freaked some trick-or-treaters out.
But it's totally worth it, because I 1cc'd UFO Lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24931).

Indeed. I follow up on this trust.

Congratiulations, everyone!

Focusing is overrated. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24943)

Look forward for a video later. For now, it's time to celebrate a bit. I guess this is the final nail in the coffer for this card, what remains would be the 80% GILstyle. Maybe I'll do it too, but it's more working and more learning and stuff. And that'll have to wait, at least for a bit. I need to focus on some scoring stuff for a while.

Scary stuff... I'm looking forward to the video! I guess GILstyle is the above PoC line capture like in the new lucky dodge video? What is your total history on SFN now btw?
I made an improvement to 12-4 for the DS speedrunning thingy, over 2 seconds faster than the run in the DSDQ video.

Congrats - most things pale in comparison to UFO lunatic (in the realm of plain 1ccs I mean), but that's still a worthy accomplishment. Suwako was my 3rd extra as well, so assuming you're at about the same skill level I was when I got it, you're right on the verge of suddenly clearing the rest of the extras as well. I got PCB's back in 2010, IN in 2011, Phantasm this January, then MoF in July - then just in the last 31 days, EoSD, SA, UFO and TD. Hopefully you'll find the rest fall into place for you as well!

God yes upload that shit!
And congrats with UFO, RNG. Will you be doing the PC-98 games? :>

I'm doing all Windows games before I move to PC-98. Not that I dislike the PC-98 games, I just have enormous difficulty with Anex sprite flicker and can't get any alternatives to work.
By the way, thanks everyone, and a huge congrats to Vee, you crazy crazy man. Good luck getting Eastern Youkai Beauty out of your head.

Now do this without focus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1Yy12vy3J8
You get 10 tries or focusing is not overrated at all. :V (Zil, you don't count)

Spacesphere "Earth in a Pot" timeout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T7dNOVYRaM).
This is what happens when I lose internet for a day. I go crazy enough to do things like this. :V

I'd never actually seen one before, and wanted to know if it still showed your stats in the score page, so I sat down for a while and did this straight through-
[attach=1]
Final score - 101/153. Started today at 10/13 I think. Would've been a bit better if I didn't start doing dumb things to pass the time like trying to focus to the beat of the music.

Timed out Yuyu's third spell to 2 seconds (I will not time it out all the way, NTY) and also got to Miko after an hour of attempts. Unfortunately didn't save a replay of the latter :V

I cleared my first run reaching Seiga (though admittedly I had plenty of practice at her from perfect attempts and ND1B'd her)
edit: speaking of 1 mistake boss fights...Flandre Scarlet. The mistake? A death to Kagome Kagome after being walled :flamingv:
and yes, I'm sure it was a wall. The implications are my second ever survival capture and my first ever QED capture. I can't be mad about that run since it was an RNG death...but damn. Could have been perfect. Going to have to put more time into this stage.
edit 2: whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa 1DNB Nue+1 derpy stage death+Nue-death was to the 7th nonspell due to being blindsided=WHEN DID I STOP BEING BAD AT THESE GAMES

! I guess GILstyle is the above PoC line capture like in the new lucky dodge video? What is your total history on SFN now btw?
Yes, it is. GIL-style since it's from a legendary PCB scoring run from ages ago, where GIL does the final card that way.
I've been forced to play on several score.dat's, so I've been too lazy to get down the actual number, but this took only a bit over 1,000 tries on the ultra mode, with Youmu. That added onto my earlier attempts, however, is far beyond 10,000. I guess it'd be safe to say 15,000, possibly. Or 20,000. Maybe less, maybe more. Who cares, it's just numbers. Let's say I have enough.
what the fuck? I don't know how, or why, or what, but SFW without focusing? on ultra? you have clearly lost your mind :v it took me over a thousand attempts to do normally...congratulations!
It was either Zil or someone from a certain IRC-channel who suggested it to me when I timed out the ultra version of SFN (having also timed the regular version out with Youmu no-focus earlier).
Hey, don't worry. It took over a thousand attempts to time out initially from me too! I just was dumb enough not to stop there.
Sleepless Cyborg. Or was it zombie? I can never remember.
According to the original joke, it's sleepless cyborg. A zombie is fine too, kind of suits how they say that I have no life.
Kanako's opener, huh? I really rarely play MoF, and I never play it on Marisa so I'm really unused to her speed. I guess I'll try, but I can promise that it'll be way over 10 tries. And It'll have to wait for a while, I want to get that damn SA run done.
-
Nice timeouts, guys. Also, what the hell was that strategy on EiaP, Malkyrian? D: Sick. Drugs are bad, btw.
-
Uh, within some moment of silliness yesterday, I timed out Chen's first card on Extra (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24956). It's quite nice, but everything else was really awful display of sucking. Oh, well.
-
Welp.
800M broken on SA normal ReimuA! (https://twitter.com/ILikeVacuuums/status/264314406219943936/photo/1/large). I'm pretty satisfied, even while the latter stages were total shit. I guess it's time to make a bit of a long scoreboard submission again, been a while since I last flooded some thread with innecessary (and boring) text.
-
IHNN, if I could perfect Flandre and Nue, you can do it too. it shouldn't surprise you so much :v you, seiga and I are all about the the same level (I suppose), so what one of us can do, we should all be able to do to seome extent. with a bit of practice I am sure you can perfect both extra stages, go for it! (to your information - I never had a 1DNB UFO extra. I always died at least twice for some reason :v or not at all :'D)
Vee, I've been thinking of doing SFN at 90 fps, so I wouldn't exactly call myself smart, either. it will probably happen someday, though not anytime soon :v shame IN's ultra patch doesn't work for me
-
You'll have to remove the english patch in order to make the Ultra patch work. (there are .bak files for th08.exe and th08.dat and th08.cfg - remove the patched files and replace them with the .bak files. Then install the ultra.)

PROGRESS SIGN [Blazing Star Style Tag]
HNNNNNNNNNNGHARGLEBLARGLE
I HAD SO MUCH %
-
I never had a 1DNB UFO extra.
Neither have I...yet. 1DNB Nue and stupid death to the post-Kogasa. I'm surprised that those were literally first attempts :V
I know I could get both stages, it's a question of do I want to go for them now or later. So many things I want to do, so little time to do them.
-
If there was any extra stage I'd be perfecting right now, it'd be GFW's. But 90fps is so much better and perfecting something that is 1) long 2) easy to you is dumb (to me, of course).
-
FINALLY defeated the extra stage on PCB.
Also got the 60 spell cards so I finally unlocked the phantasm stage.(My main goal)
Now i'm going to try to defeat Yukari. :)
Oh and does this count as an accomplishment or is it a bit less of the standards required to count as an accomplishment in this thread?
-
Extra (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24924) and Phantasm (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24964) in Perfect Cherry Blossom. :D I am a lot more pleased with my Phantasm replay (I had to improve in order to clear it). :)
^ Oh hey person above me. :D I wish you the best luck in beating Yukari. I am new at this stuff too. :)
-
Achievements are personal. As long as they matter to yourself, they are worthy enough.
A normal clear might matter to someone a lot more than a lunatic clear to someone, therefore the normal clear is a greater achievement. The more you put your heart into it, the greater is the meaning of it.
Every achievement is welcome to be shared.

Beat TD Lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24966) and timed out Zouhou Rumo (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24967) (shooting Yoshika) and Sakuraiji (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24968).
Also a timeout of Honor the Avoidance of Defiance (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24969). I don't know what the fuck.
-
First time perfecting a stage on lunatic difficulty (Wriggle)! Would have had it 2-3 times before in my history, except my record against her final is abysmal, and I've never before caught it at the same time as an otherwise-flawless run.
Looong way off from adding any other stages to that list though, even Mystia normally takes 1-2 bombs and often a death on lunatic still.
-
Mystia is annoying for a Stage 2 boss, especially her nonspells. Don't sweat it.
-
I agree. I only did mystia recently, like...this week. all of my pain for the 2nd non. ALL OF IT. so yeah, there are only few stage 2 bosses harder than her to perfect. like kogasa :V I actually consider everyone else easier to perfect, to be honest; don't feel bad about it. go and take babysteps by doing other stage 1s and slowly starting with the stage 2s. everyone has to take those steps at one point.
-
Didn't realize she was considered that hard. I was mostly thinking of her next rather than other stage 1s because I have so much more practice with IN than anything else. But yeah, EoSD, PCB, TD stage 1s are probably within my reach if I tried for a while. 10-12 are not, at the moment.
Honestly, I probably ought to be working on getting hard 1ccs of SA and UFO, since I'm still missing those, but ugh, those games on hard... Instead I just play SA stage 4 normal and IN stage 4A hard over and over and over. :V
Edit: Oh hey I did Rumia. That was way easier than Wriggle, huh. :3

Rumia is extremely easy. Wriggle can be a bit hard if you don't bring an human with you, but she's overall easy. The only stage 1 bosses I haven't perfected yet are Nazrin and Yamame, because I've never caught their last cards :V (I'm sure I can perfect them without much trouble, but most times I'm going for an 1cc attempt and I just bomb them once the first threatening bullet approaches. :V)
Try Letty or TD Yuyuko. You certainly can do them. :3

Hey guys I captured Kanako's Normal "Mountain of Faith". :V
At first I tried to repeat after Heartbeam's billion score run, doubled last score - ~390M. :derp: Then, "Oh man, let's now just try to capture 'MoF'", and I succeded (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24982).

I made it all the way to Koishi's "Philosophy of a Hated Person"! Even made it to the 3rd phase of that card too. :toot:
Maybe if I hadn't have died stupidly to an early non-spell, I might have cleared it.

What's a "perfect" timeout? You mean not dying or bombing while timing out (that is already implied if you say you timed something out) or is there something else to it? Just asking, I'm new to this sort of thing. And I really don't like the word perfect but what can you do.
So I did something I don't normally do which is NMNB stages. Did it with Mountain of Faith since in 1cc runs I just bomb my way through. I figured playing without bombing might make me see the game with new eyes. I did stages 3 and 5 (not 4 because there are a few sections I don't really understand yet, I might attempt it in the future though) and here are some things I've come to learn through these attempts:
-Midboss Nitori is fucking brutal
-Stage 5 stage portion is easy
-Midboss Sanae is very simple
-Sanae's third spell is unfair and stupid
-Stage 3 is not easier than stage 5. Difficulty is about the same, I think.
I will be uploading at least the stage 5 run and maybe also the stage 3 run to YouTube for those interested (not that I expect anyone to care about such minor achievements, but they're more in line of what people here normally do, yet completely atypical to me. It's interesting.)

Timing out the card is running out the timer, though it's generally taken to mean without dying or bombing in this context.

Stage 4 is kinda tricky in a few spots but you can take the edge off the stage. It doesn't change that 3 and 5 are both way easier than it, but it makes it more doable.

-Stage 5 stage portion is easy
-Midboss Sanae is very simple

1/3 capture rate I think is decent, yes it is, no she isn't, no it isn't, true. Stage 5 is easier than Stage 3.

I would't say those are minor things.
Played some MoF ultra hard for the fun of it. Staved off my first death to Aya's last spell which was pretty cool, perfect Hina and 2 bomb Nitori, captured Aya's first spell. I might have to try ultra lunatic, depending on how much worse it is I might be able to do it (cleared with 1 life to spare but a deathwave cleared it).
Then ultra extra in which I dodge between the lasers in Suwako's first once, epic fail her 2nd, dodge both wall nonspells (AWESOME NOW, forcing unfocused movements), and clear with a life and 2 bombs to spare. Pretty fun except the obligatory ultra impossibilities.
-
no she isn't
no it isn't
If you're going to disagree, at least argue your cause. I will try to explain why I think the way I do.
Midboss Sanae's patterns are completely static as far as I can tell. You can do them the exact way every time. Once I learned a path through her card, I captured it every time except for one time when she did not follow me to the right. Sure, the spell is claustrophobic, but if you hold down the down key while moving left/right, you can make sure your movements are precise enough to make the spell laughably easily. And sure you don't think the nonspell is hard.
Sanae's third spell. What can I say, It's complete bullshit. I got curious how you handled this spell now so I had a look at your NMNB run of the stage. You do it the same way I do. However, here's the thing: when I do this, Sanae very ofen does not follow me to the left. If she sticks around the middle, I either have to go back (which I refuse to do, as the middle seems extremely dangerous) or stick around the left, which does eventually turn into a complete mayhem. The spell is easy if Sanae follows you, bullshit if she doesn't. And in my attempts, Sanae did not follow me to the left at least 5 times, if not more, ending tons of runs right then and there. I absolutely hate that spell because of this.

And sure you don't think the nonspell is hard.
Actually, though I know what to do for both, they both kill me quite frequently. The nonspell, assuming I don't derp, has the purple part oriented randomly. I have gotten better at it but midboss Sanae is much harder than endboss Sanae because of this-she's easier to derp.

If she moves to the right/stays centered, you cut farther to the left and that creates a path(sort of) to move back. It's nothing guaranteed but it's far from bullshit-tricky if she moves that way sure, but still doable and far from bullshit (Kanako's 4th spell on the other hand...)
-
None of Sanae's cards are bullshit in any way. I don't even get how anyone could reach that conclusion. Sanae's third spell is just dodging. It's not easy but it's definitely not BS. I capture it everytime. Trying to time it out though has left me powerless though. :V
And Ihavenoname, there's nothing BS about Kanako's 4th spell either. I don't like it either but it's something you should be able to capture with pretty much the same movements everytime.

I'm not convinced. However, ihavenoname mentioned a strategy I don't think I ever tried, so I'll give the spell the benefit of the doubt for now. And just in case I seem overly negative, I do think Sanae's other spells are good, especially her second, which seems more like "pure dodging" to me although she does seem to follow a pattern in how she alternates between firing at you and around you.

Stage 5 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt4onI1FPmA)
I wish I could record my fairy wars score runs but alas.
-
Note that if you use needle Reimu, that third spell of hers ends very quickly. You can learn two paths, one for if she goes left, the other for if she goes right, and it's really just a static thing. Comparable to the midboss spell. Kanako's fourth couldn't be further from BS. To the contrary, it's extremely easy.
And the difficulty in MoF is all over the place, yes.
I wish I could record my fairy wars score runs but alas.
Why can't you, if you don't mind my asking?
-
I'm not convinced.
What could convince you? I am genuinely curious as to what makes it BS. Can you save a replay and upload it next time it turns BS? I'd like to see it.
-
What could convince you? I am genuinely curious as to what makes it BS. Can you save a replay and upload it next time it turns BS? I'd like to see it.
What would convince me is if I could suddenly start to dodge the spell competently rather than getting walled or killed by bullets hiding behind other bullets, or some kind of video proof of the spell being very doable at all times (I suspect a timeout would have to include some extremely lucky dodges, but I honestly don't get the spell so whatever.) I probably won't play the stage again for a while as all the runs I lost there frustrated me. so don't expect a replay. Just know that I failed it repeatedly by going to the left, not damaging the boss, and eventually getting overwhelmed.
Why can't you, if you don't mind my asking?
Too much of a strain on my computer, I guess. I can record at low resolution/FPS and with some slowdown but nothing very watchable, I think the game is beautiful and deserves decent quality videos.

Well that might be why I think it's so easy then. I play as ReimuB primarily. Who is the weakest type in the game? I want to see if I can capture it even with a crappy type.

ReimuC from a distance. MarisaA I find more annoying to use though.

I'd say It's yes. You can make out what's going on and the game doesn't seem to be slowing down too much. Note that a GFW recording from me would be much worse. Surely you've seen my stream.

Yes and for some reason when you stream Touhou the game doesn't lag like it does for me >.>
I suppose I could record/compress/all that for a replay or three sometimes-I did it for Ozzy's GFW extra clear. (The compressed file is small enough to transfer over Skype)

I would be very appreciative of something like that. My C-routes were pretty decent as they finished with max motivation even if the scores are still not as high as I'd like (laziness on my part, haven't felt like trying to learn the C-routes properly. I will focus on either A-2 or B-2 once I start playing again) from a survival perspective they were quite good, better than anything on YouTube at least, I believe.

Playing UFO (and Touhou, for that matter) for the first time in months. Shou isn't anywhere near as much of a buttfuck as I remember. o/
-
MoF Sanae's 3rd boss spell? As far as I know, it's a static pattern aimed at you (just like her midboss spell and the first wave of her midboss nonspell), so it can be treated as static as long as you position yourself at the same angle to Sanae (such as directly under her) every time. (And I agree, it's easy with ReimuB.)
Also, yes, ReimuC is the worst shot type in MoF. ReimuA outclasses ReimuC in both power and stage coverage (except the rare case where you can be close to the boss, but that's like never on higher difficulties), and as you probably know, ReimuA is already rather weak.
As for GFW recording, do you use the vsync patch? It seems to help reduce/prevent slowdown, at least for me.
-
Well, replicated the TD 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=24993). Now I never have to play that game again (but I might perfect St. 5 because it is cool)
Also cleared extra but after seeing T's perfect no-focus vid my own resourcespam clear doesn't feel like an accomplishment at all :V

UFO practice update:
Kogasa: consistency gained at SanaeB PSM. Timeout of last spell, first attempt. 2nd spell gets the bomb.
Ichirin: captured opener, timed out KKS in 1 try while trying to capture. Last spell confirmed for autobomb.
My first couple stages are looking up in terms of consistency, my 4 and 5 are pretty consistent, now it's just a matter of not screwing up the second stage again and again.
-
Perfected a bunch of stage 2s.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoZuMtF_6Rk
Still missing Kyouko, Kogasa, and Ichirin among first-half stages (and LLS stages if they count, but I'm only including games that have stage practice).
-
Gave UFO a random run.
Surprisingly, I would have cleared if not for 3 places of BS: double KO a UFO in Stage 2, double KO Shou's 2nd nonspell and death to Magic Butterfly's opening wave. There was nothing particularly good about this run either, aside from maybe starting to get the hang of Ichirin. I can totally do this, and I will definitely do it...before the end of the year.
Now, this is an accomplishment and not rage because first real attempt and everything went just about as expected in Stage practice in the actual attempts and I failed to Devil's recitation with those errors. Take them out, and I have 2 more lives which is more than enough to clear.

Of course Sanae's third spell card is doable at all times - it's a micromemorizable card that is the same every time so long as the movements are the same. You can't blame a card for being BS when you're the one who manipulated it to be a certain way and moved the wrong way.

I've already made it perfectly clear that I do not get the card. I don't know how to misdirect it. When I say BS that's hardly matter-of-fact. Please understand that I lost several runs there because the boss didn't follow me like I had expected her to (and like she had done plenty of times before) and that that felt like BS at the time.
-
Great job Seiga. Color me impressed. NMNB Byakuren is not a bad feat at all. In fact you're making me a bit jealous over here I must admit. :V (I swear it's due to a lack of trying - please oh gods may that be the case)
I found it was a weird approach to the 2nd non-spell you did as BT also pointed out but hey, whatever works for you. I also noticed that you stopped shooting during LFS which is a strategy I have heard of before but I don't know how much of a difference it does.
My capture rates are awful though (http://i.imgur.com/nG4yG.jpg) so it'll take a long time for me to get it done but I hope to do it before 2013.

YAAAAAAYYYYY!!!! :D :D
No-Bomb Touhou 11, Subterranean Animism Lunatic, WITH REIMUB!!! WOOHOO!!! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25003)
Capping Hell's Tokamak AND Sub-Sun once again!! This is so freaking awesomely wooooww coool1!! AAAHHHHHHHHHH!!?!?!
-
Why are you guys finding Seiga's approach to Byakuren's second nonspell weird? I did it the same way in my run (though I went a little bit higher on each cutback). I've mentioned multiple times about how it's more reliable because then you don't have to worry about the lasers' random orientations.
And Seiga, very nice job! Byakuren is really tough, so be proud of this!
I also noticed that you stopped shooting during LFS which is a strategy I have heard of before but I don't know how much of a difference it does.
You can bypass the "wall" of bullets that forms if you don't stop shooting by simply moving to one side. So it's not really necessary.

Sorry, I have a kneejerk reaction to anyone calling something "BS." I see it as an excuse to write off your failed runs as the game's fault, rather than your own. However, my point still stands: You know that the card is the same way every time based on your movements, and you know that you don't know how to misdirect it. To me, the answer is clear: Experiment and learn how to properly misdirect it! This is the Touhocratic method! /o/
On the Donut side, I think I finally figured out what I've been doing wrong on the first half of SA stage 4 all this time. Now if I could only figure out how to do the same on the second half. :[
-
Progress! 15 bad Byakuren fights had something good about them. 3 Good Omen captures in a row + 4 captures of LFO (all within the final 5 runs). I'm getting somewhere with this battle at least. Right now I think her hardest attacks are Good Omen and Devil's Recitation. I haven't been able to get any better on those but if I keep up playing a lot of Byakuren I hope I'll eventually turn decent at her.
Best fight so far is three miss, one on Devils Recitation and two on LFO. I'm not gonna stop playing her at least 5 times a day before I get at least one NMNB fight. I've done 1-miss before and that was LFO so if I can get better at that I should stand a chance.
-
Nice to see I'm inspiring people <_<
That's pretty good, at this rate you should be able to do it in less time than I needed. Are you doing that thing in LFS where you stop shooting for a few seconds?
-
Indeed I am. It seems to be working pretty okay. :)
Also. Got Good Omen again. I think it's starting to be certain now. Devil's Recitation is the hardest one for me right now.
-
After a conversation with Seiga last night, I gave a few stage 5 bosses tries to perfect.
As mentioned before, finally got Reisen without choking, I even went through a wall on the 2nd spellcard.
I also managed to get Futo 3rd try-first ended to Iwafune because I derped, 2nd to Sakuraiji and it was to the really nasty wave where 8 bullets converged on my position, and the third perfected.
and then today 3DNB Orin, 1 derp to the 3rd nonspell and 2 to the ghost wheels. I think I might have figured out how to do that card after finally, and capturing Small Demons' Revival at the end felt pretty good.
-
Tried MarisaB in PCB Hard, and got a 1cc on the first try.
It'd be a overpowered perfect shottype if she had 3 bombs per life...oh well, I still find her easier to use than Sakuya (because focused speed).
I guess the main achievement in this run is that I never died with bombs in stock ; it must be the first time I manage to do this :V

I have mysteriously regained my Touhou spirit, and am now determined to perfect UFO stage 3. This is mainly due to me discovering several tricks about the stage. I now understand how to capture Ichirin's midboss non-spell 100% of the time, figured out how you are meant to time the blue bullet spam in the second half of the stage, and figured out the key to dodging King Kraken Strike effectively (hint: Try moving where there are less bullets!!!). I perfected the stage portion four times in the last hour, and made it to Ichirin's last spell card twice.
(note: Said perfect attempt is with UFOs, but I never cared about a no-UFOs condition to begin with).
If anyone's interested, the tactic for Ichirin's midboss non-spell is one simple thing: Don't stay under her on the third wave - there are no easy openings. Move to the side and you'll find a nice big one.
-
I played some PoDD with characters other than Chiyuri. This was the result. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vv8u30WJl0U&feature=youtu.be)
I also improved a number of other scores, bringing both Mima and Ellen above 70 million. That leaves only the broken trio, but I'm not sure I what meddle with them. Maybe with excellent playing, followed by suicides. I don't remember if the Kana run had a suicide in it. At least, voluntary over-recklessness against Yumemi.

I think you are imagining things. Every wave is identical: only rotated a bit and moved up and down with Ichirin's own movements, for which you can compensate by moving up as well. If there's any "trick," I'd say (and I may sound like a broken record) that it's spotting a space in the straight lasers, then only worrying about the criss-crossy ones for fine tuning. I'll make a wild guess and assume that she has a tendency to move way up on the third wave, and so you back up extra far by moving to the side. It may be a viable strategy, but you could have also moved up and stayed under her.
-
Another Virtue of Wind God 2-miss timeout. Only this time, I lasted until 57 seconds before my first death, and actually remembered to save the replay this time.
Replay here (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25009) for anyone interested, critiques welcome.
[edited because I made a minor mistake with the time because I am a derp]
-
If I'm imagining things, then so be it. All I know is that my capture rate has risen to 100%. o 3o
-
1MNB Byakuren. Died just as Devil's Recitation was about to die. Pretty annoyed about that but still an accomplishment to get that close to a flawless run. I'm almost there.
-
2DNB LLS Stage 5, one to the last second of the rings, and one to Yuuka finisher walls. I guess the cycle continues.
-
Oh boy LLS 5/6. Good luck on those two. Rings are probably close to EoSD books difficulty and both stages have bullshit Yuka finals. Note that there's a safespot in the bottom-right corner for the S5 master sparks if you're not already using it.
-
You know what, even though everything in 5 that isn't the rings is trivial, the rings are enough bull for me to leave it for another day. Moving in to 3 instead, where everything is doable. Did one fun run before I took a break and every death was stupid, so I'll probably do it a little later.
Are there videos out there of perfect LLS Stage 4s, Reimu or Marisa? Looked around on youtube and couldn't even find a perfect boss.
-

Reimu (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MybZ7poXrjM)
pacifist Reimu (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GqpZ7qpFX8&feature=relmfu)
A quick search yielded no Marisa perfects though.
-
Actually, I never searched for Reimu, I thought I did not too long ago so I assumed there was nothing. Reread my message, realized I might be wrong, searched, came back to edit and I see I'm beaten. <_<
Must have been thinking of Marisa, not to mention the stage portion (including the troublesome midboss), that's still a shame though, I guess I'll have to be the first. :/
-
I'm going to be perfectly honest with you: Marisa in LLS has completely stumped me. There's one attack of hers that is the one attack in the series I still consider undodgable. I'm sure there's a trick to it, but the one where she fires those large bullet rings at you cannot be outrun, and I don't think it's a simple streaming job either... I perfected her, like everyone else, but it was by savestate abusing and making sure it never came up. You can't expect that kind of luck in a full stage perfect, so it's your turn to be big Mr. Pioneer of strategy. *clap clap clap*
Also, I believe I was once linked a video showing how there's a way to cheese the midboss. Extreme misdirection, I believe it was. It's unlisted though, so you'll never find it.

This one? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-bbASFtCi8&t=32) I actually cheesed a perfect out of her as well, today, as I was building my network of savestates for "stage practice", and I successfully survived it from streaming far left to far right. Still amazed I did it though, I've faced it more than once prior and I always assumed it was nigh impossible.
and I just realized that video is a perfect marisa, albeit filmed differently. Still, it's better than nothing.
Also, I believe I was once linked a video showing how there's a way to cheese the midboss. Extreme misdirection, I believe it was. It's unlisted though, so you'll never find it.
why on earth would someone make a video like that unlisted <_<

-
Is this it? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDNi_sOcKiU)
That is it, but I dunno...the trick I learned was slightly more...well, an actual trick. Maybe it was something I discovered myself? It's been a long time though, so I've forgotten what it was. :( What I do remember is that it requires getting really close to the midboss, like in that video.
EDIT: Incidentally, I wasn't just imagining things on Ichirin's midboss non-spell. If you stay under her on the third wave, the opening given is extra hard to squeeze into, because two diagonal lasers pincer the bottom of it. Still dodgable if you know it's coming, but it's much less risky to forego that wave.
EDIT 2: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25021 Yay!
-
Congrats. I went for that one for a little while before I got sidetracked by Byakuren, and I remember how ignorant the midboss nonspell was to me. Hopefully I'll remember this when I go back to it. <_<
-
One last thing for the night.
@Seiga, that really is the strangest way I've ever seen anyone capture Byakuren's second non-spell. The method I use is much the same, but far more efficient (and badass, if I do say so myself). Whatever works though.
-
now I feel horrible for uploading a 0/0 lunatic 1cc :/
(http://www.abload.de/img/unbenannt2t7l0x.jpg)
CURSE YOU SEIGA FOR DOING THAT ;_; life is horrible, and it's all your fault!. I was only joking when I said to perfect her :V congratulations, anyway! very well done.
anyway, here's my replay. http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25025
I though I lost after entering stage 4 with 1/2 :V I died like what, 4 times? in stage 3. and twice in stage 2. but due to a perfect murasa fight and "only" 2 bombs in the stage itself, I somehow cleared.
> only 1 out of 4 spells on shou captured. only 2/6 captures against byakuren. surely had better fight against both. also, brb, perfecting byakuren.
ALSO: UFO STAGE 5 IS BEST STAGE 5. JUST SAYING.
-
Okay. It's done. NMNB Byakuren. :toot:
When Seiga pulled it off I decided to get to work (because I didn't want to get beaten by a TD-character :V - even if I don't really have anything against Seiga) and 32 battles later I got it. At around the midpoint, i figured I had practiced enough against Byakuren's attacks so I decided to abort runs if they failed at Good Omen or the 2nd-non. Everything between those two and Devil's Recitation was pretty consistent so from then on it was just a question of getting a run that get's past 2nd non-spell (Good Omen was the problem here, not really 2nd non) while capturing Devil's Recitation and LFO.
I even had a run fuck up at Superhuman. That was annoying. That was my first run today. This NMNB clear was my second. Video coming soon and thanks to Seiga Kaku for giving me some motivation to get this battle done. I've been wanting to do this for two years.

Good job.Okay. It's done. NMNB Byakuren. :toot:
Excellent work. That's something I also aspire (but will never be able) to do. Maybe I can learn something.

UFO Stage 6 No Miss No Bombs uploaded to YT. Lazy commentary is put on, might have to remake the commentary later on.
It feels good to have a run like this done. I now have NMNB runs of all bosses in UFO, SA and MoF. As in, the best games. Now i'm not sure who to target. Bosses that I'm missing are Sakuya, Remilia, Patchy MarisaA, Flandre, Yukari, Eirin, Kaguya, Mokou, Mamizou, Miko and Futo.
Who should I do?
I don't want to do Kaguya, MarisaA Patchy, Remilia or Eirin yet.
Kaguya: Because she's a butt
MarisaA Patchy: Because she's a cunt.
Remilia: Because she's an ass.
Eirin: Because I'd rather do her later on. A pretty good fight but just not one I feel like going after right now.

(http://i.imgur.com/E8j7P.jpg)
Sat down to play just one round of Touhou in the morning and... OH THANK YOU GOD. I cannot believe that out of all of my attempted runs, THIS is the one that made it through. Holy crap. Lost lives on Yuugi midboss's first non-spell (I dunno), Princess Undine, Ten Evil Stars (SOMEHOW), lost 2 power at Okuu's first card... Bleh. Overall a sloppy run, but I'm glad I don't have to deal with this shot type again. Super powerful bomb that only works when you plant it on top of bosses just isn't my style. Frankly, I completely lost patience at these attempts and I resorted to basically utilizing bombs a ton more in stages 2 and 3 to avoid stupid deaths.
Really though, the hardest part of this 1cc was Satori. She is absolutely evil, with the exception of Philosopher's Stone. Princess Undine and Mercury Poison are just absolute nightmares to negotiate, and the only saving grace in this fight was the fact that Terrifying Hypnotism can be pretty much completely skipped if you bomb it. Otherwise, Satori's cards take at least two bombs each if you suck at them like I do. It didn't help that I had one bomb do NO DAMAGE to Princess Undine because I somehow planted it too early despite the cut-in already happening. I still hate that card, mostly because I go in with 1-2 power due to bombing Mercury Poison, meaning that it becomes longer, meaning that Satori has about 50x more opportunities to push me against a wall or something like that. Hate hate hate. It really does say something when I have seen Satori's cards 16 times, and Orin's only 5 times as MarisaB, compared to most of my other shot types, where I have a much lower ratio of Satori/Orin. Also fun fact, Kisume's first card has 48 attempts, which just goes to show how far most of my attempts go. Sigh.
My only saving grace in this run was that stage 6 drops an absurd amount of power. The opening crows drop like 2 or so if you kill them all, midboss Orin drops 2, and the last two bowap spirits drop 1 each. Okuu drops a crap ton too, with like 1 or so before Ten Evil Stars, 1 from a non-card after it, and like 2 after her penultimate card. 4 free skips/saves? I'll gladly take that.
Anyway, that's 5/6 now. Only Nitori left, and I'll finally have a shot type with decent power and a bomb that I like (basically a bomb that isn't a crutch). At the very least I'll probably be less frustrated at the shot type now :)
Edit: Oh somehow the congrats part of my post disappeared, well thank god for saved half-saved text box inputs:
A huge congrats to Zengeku for that perfect! Byakuren is one of my worst enemies.
Likewise to Sakurei for the 1cc! Also UFO stage 5 probably is the best, given that most other stage 5 are terrible (Looking at YOU SA). That still doesn't make the middle section any less terrible (with the exception of Nazrin, and especially the suddenly dramatic music when she enters. Ooooh I love that.)
And Nindella, slow down with all the achievements man! Like jeeeeez. You're not making it any easier for me to catch up with regards to SA stuff :(
-
Okay. It's done. NMNB Byakuren. :toot:
took you long enough >_> <_<
Congrats though. You did it so quickly I'm surprised you hadn't done it already.Bosses that I'm missing are Sakuya, Remilia, Patchy MarisaA, Flandre, Yukari, Eirin, Kaguya, Mokou, Mamizou, Miko and Futo.
Mamizou or Futo imo, they're not too hard (compared to the likes of byakuren <_<) and I find them pretty fun.

I know, I know. It's just.. I'm lazy, Impatient, childish, bad and I have a hard time maintaining interest in Touhou after so many years. It is because of YOU that I got my motivation revitalized. :) I hope it will last for some time!
Mamizou or Futo imo, they're not too hard (compared to the likes of byakuren <_<) and I find them pretty fun.
Hmm... I should definitely be able to take these bosses down. I don't know when I'll get onto it. I might decide to do some more Phantasmagoria Trues instead but if I don't, I'll be sure to drop by and give those two a thorough butt-kicking. ;)
-
Futo was pretty easy-brb timing out Iwafune.

I think I already made it pretty clear that I agree a 100% with that statement (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mrwJMIL9TY)
-
26 tries later...
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25042
That was easy enough.
I agree also Zengeku, I perfected Futo in 3 tries. Reisen put up a much better fight with Idling Wave since I happen to be pretty good at Iwafune. Though Stage 6 is pretty brutal as you'll hear when I get around to uploading my TD clear
-
I'm not sure I'll be able to perfect her in only three tries. I'd probably have to spend a little time getting accustomed to Futo's bullet patterns. Namely, Iwafune and her non-spells. (hitboxes, don't know em'. Should be no trouble but i'm not excluding things that might be a problem)
I'm of course not gonna be satisfied with just Futo. I'll have to NMNB her entire Stage on top of the boss as well. I'm not that good at Iwafune last I tried so getting past that could be challenging but still, it's gonna be nothing compared to having to get past Good Omen every time.

Perfect IN Extra! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25054)
This is my first time capturing imperishable shooting, believe it or not. :D
Edit: 1cc'd Subterranean Animism! Now I only have UFO left.
Alright, I'll be blunt: what is the easiest shot-type to 1cc UFO with?
-
SA Hard 1cc with ReimuA (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25060)
Mainly because using ReimuC felt like cheating.
This was awful, I entered Utsuho fight with no spare lives, but somehow managed to clear.
Alright, I'll be blunt: what is the easiest shot-type to 1cc UFO with?
I'd say SanaeB since she makes stage portions much easier (and has a powerful bomb), maybe ReimuA if you want to take bosses down quickly, but I'm no expert at this.
Gratz on IN Extra perfect !
-
Perfect IN Extra! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25054)
Alright, I'll be blunt: what is the easiest shot-type to 1cc UFO with?
Subjective. I think the easiest is ReimuA. She's the highest damage from far away, the longest bomb invincibility, the smallest hitbox and the lowest speed.
-
SanaeB for card-skipping and UFO collection. Oh, and her spread saves you a bunch of resources on Stage 5.
-
I think pretty much everyone agrees that the best shot type in UFO is either ReimuA or SanaeB.
I prefer SanaeB. Her decently powerful spread shot, and ability to move at normal speed while bombing (something the more powerful ReimuA and MarisaA lack), make it much easier to summon and destroy UFOs, allowing you to build up lives more easily.
Also, you'll be bombing nearly all the harder boss patterns in a first 1cc anyway, so the difference in power is less relevant than the difference in stage coverage. ReimuA's bomb is slightly more powerful if you're under the boss the entire time, but anything that's not a survival or Byakuren's last 2-3 cards shouldn't take more than 1 bomb with either shot type.
SanaeB also has a few tricks for extra damage: at 4 power she does incredible damage when right in front of the boss (or at any power if you unfocus and stay on top of the boss, but that's usually only doable while bombing), and she counterintuitively does more damage to stage enemies when unfocused (watch these (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25062) two (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25063) replays if you need proof, notice how I gain 9 graze unfocused and 15 focused) which can help for destroying UFOs.
...Accomplishments? Well, I perfected Kyouko (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZA5eIjEHY8). I also got a 1cc of this glitched-out version of UFO "Extra" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3N6vCJ6LTRM) accessed using Cheat Engine (amazingly, the replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25014) syncs), which is mostly the same as UFO Lunatic but has a few interesting pattern differences.
-
Alright, I'll be blunt: what is the easiest shot-type to 1cc UFO with?
I recommend SanaeB for a first clear because of her higher mobility during bombs which allows for easy UFO picking but ReimuA is not a bad choice either. Will make certain bits harder than if you used SanaeB since you don't have the spread but she is more powerful and have a smaller hitbox so she compensates for it. Just pick anyone but MarisaB. :V
SanaeB for card-skipping and UFO collection. Oh, and her spread saves you a bunch of resources on Stage 5.
She makes one section easier but other than that I don't see much difference between playing that as ReimuA.
-
I have just made history.
An accomplishment no one will ever match. Never, and no one, will ever match the heights I have ascended to today.
Behold, the very limits of human achievement in Touhou. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25066)
-
Oh boy Donut, that's pretty amazing. Dodge everything perfectly but the dumb easy non-spell no-one cares about. That's a pretty big accomplishment. :V
-
Congrats on that Donut! I doubt anyone will be able to manage that feat :P
On another note, I defeated two demons in one fell swoop. NMNB of stage 2 of PCB and MoF. I don't know what it was about Chen and Hina that gave me so much trouble, but it only took one attempt for both. I did die in stage 2 of MoF at the beginning of the stage, but whatever. Close enough.
More remarkably, I managed a 1MNB of Kogasa, with my one death to her first card. Unfortunately I was a moron and skipped past the save replay option, so I didn't record it, but whatever.
-
I timed out Cat Walk in an SA 1cc attempt (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25069). Skillz~
I might do ReimuB since BoWaP is a bit too disorienting for me at it stands.

Haha, nice! Needed to follow Orin better to actually kill it off but... a time out is pretty awesome eitherway!
Not using the BoWaP safespot?
-
No. It's hard to place myself with a bomb because I can't see Reimu under the pink haze of bullet sprites.
Made it to Ghost Wheels on a ReimuB throwaway run though, that's something.
-
No. It's hard to place myself with a bomb because I can't see Reimu under the pink haze of bullet sprites.
Press shift (http://i.imgur.com/o0CaG.png). The safespot is really huge, so you don't really need to worry too much about messing it up. Alternatively, you can get on her feet before the bullets start appearing if you want to cap it and save your power.
EDIT: Also got my first ever Lunatic DBDB cap, which ironically was in the same run as a stage practice game over. Huh.
-
You can bomb for the BoWaP safespot and still capture it. Just make sure you press X before the spell begins.
The hard part is not getting rammed by Satori if she happens to move in your direction during the explosion.

Um? Apparently I was just having a bad day earlier. It suddenly just clicked for me. I embarked on a run and decided not to restart at any point, had the shittiest run I've ever had, got to the end and capped SH&LFS. Well, that's 6/6 alright. Some highlights include deaths and bombs in various stage parts of 2,3,4,5 and 6 (the opening of stage 6 is a big one), ramming Shou and forgetting to press keys on Byakuren's first non. Can't forget that I messed up my UFOs as well, and didn't fill some up. This is so retarded. :VAlright, I'll be blunt: what is the easiest shot-type to 1cc UFO with?
Alright, SanaeB's not objectively bad. I may not like her, but if I was able to clear that run up there with those fuckups, the world and its dogs can do it.

It feels good to have a run like this done. I now have NMNB runs of all bosses in UFO, SA and MoF. As in, the best games. Now i'm not sure who to target. Bosses that I'm missing are Sakuya, Remilia, Patchy MarisaA, Flandre, Yukari, Eirin, Kaguya, Mokou, Mamizou, Miko and Futo.
WHY DON?T YOU DO FLANDRE ALREADY :V I wil ltell you until I see a NMNB on your youtube.
mamizou's a horrible fight, don't do her, really. a more serious choice would be yukari. while she has some pain in the butt cards, she also has some rather fun patterns =) also, do miko, because if I get he NMNB before you, you should feel embarrassed regardless of whether you tried or not :V
-
Well Sakurei-chan, I did go to Spell practice and once I had a pretty basic understanding of how to do Miko's patterns I went to try her out in Practice mode and got a 1MNB fight against her. Death on Chaotic Royal Dance-whatever it's face is called so i could definitely pull it off.
I've already decided on kicking a bit on Futo's face before moving on to others though. I will do Flandre sometime though, you can count on it. She's just pretty boring so i dunno when.
-
I'd tell you to do Sakuya but that'd be too easy. NF Sakuya is only slightly harder so go for that.
-
If you told me to do NF of anything I'd tell you to stuff it. :V

Timed out Vengeful Cat Spirit's Erratic Step. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25082) Will be on YT soon.
Unless Malky forgets.

Good job dude. I won't go for a 6/6 for quite a while but I can definitely respect those who do.

Congrats Cor! I'm aiming for that right now. What are you thinking of doing next? More UFO?
On topic: My early morning Touhou was pretty interesting. I decided to, in the interest of time, not restart if I screwed up stage 1 of UFO. So basically at the end of stage 1, I used up 2 bombs, missed a red UFO, and was forced to get 1 red and 1 green token going into stage 2. Pretty much a terrible situation, but whatever! Let's see how far I can go.
Stage 2 - Used at least 3-4 bombs and a life on the stage itself (including midboss Kogasa) and I still managed to miss 2 red tokens and a red UFO. Died with 2 bombs in stock on Kogasa's penultimate card. Went into stage 3 with 2 red tokens and with 1 bomb.
Stage 3 - Complete mess. Died to the aimed purple bullet part right after the random blue bullets part with 1 bomb in stock, missed a red token, forgot that there's a cutscene after Ichirin's midboss attack so UFOs auto explode, flail around wildly on the crazy screen circling bit which I still don't know what to do, screw up something fierce on Ichirin's cards. Enter stage 4 with 1 red token, 1 life, 2 bombs. Thinking that I'll get a game over on stage 4.
Stage 4 - Missed 2 red tokens, including one point where I fly right by a token and it goes off screen, almost die to Nue, but thank God I managed to nab the life, lost it immediately after, somehow I got a red and a blue token to spawn right on top of one another, managed to almost die at the very last second of the stage, get to Murasa with 3 lives no bombs. Almost fail Sinking Anchor, died AND used a bomb at the last second of the bullet drop card, collided right into the easiest bullets to miss in anchored ship, enter stage 5 1/1.
Stage 5 - Somehow I needed to use a bomb at the beginning bit of the stage because SanaeA's shot type is really weird with UFOs, managed to move under the WRONG FAIRY and get myself a green and a blue when I have 2 reds, used up two bombs on midboss Nazrin, died to the part after, used a bomb on the part after, enter Shou 1/1. Lost the bomb on the first non-spell, bombed RTG, bombed 2nd non-spell, captured Aura of Justice FOR THE FIRST TIME (screw you lasers that have hitboxes even after you disappear from the screen!), captured 3rd non-spell, and finally died on Vajra.
Now why do I feel this is an accomplishment? Look at everything that went wrong. Look at it. I got to Vajra despite that. Now consider what would happen if I had not used up the 2 bombs in stage 1, saved a life and 2 bombs in stage 2, saved the bombs I didn't use. Use up 2 bombs on Vajra and Complete Clarification, enter stage 6 with at least 2/0 (or something). Maybe lose a life, grab all the greens, enter Byakuren 1/5 or 1/6. Based on my SanaeB runs, and assuming SanaeA's bomb can get me through as well as SanaeB's bomb, I would have at least gotten to Superhuman, if not to LFS. Now what if I had missed a few less red tokens...
Wow I'm not sure whether it's UFO that's forgiving, or me somehow managing to capture more patterns that I normally don't, but wow does this seem doable, even with those mistakes.
Here's the replay if anyone cares. http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25087. I probably forgot a few facepalm moments too :P.

Captured all Sanae scenes in DS with Aya No focus/camera alignment change.

Perfect Cherry Blossom Hard SakuyaA, mamged to Youmu... and died. Prismriver's last spell bombed immediately before the end.

Mountain of Faith ultra Stage 4 hard no deaths.
Way too easy if you can reach Aya with 5 power.
-
So today marks three years since I've started playing Touhou. I don't have anything brand new for this, and my list of accomplishments over the past year isn't as extensive as usual, but looking back at what I have achieved still makes me feel proud. A few new Lunatic no-bomb 1ccs, perfect Byakuren, just under 2 billion with TD Lunatic Reimu, even a Lunatic 1lc with MoF and good progress toward one with SA. While I'm not playing Touhou as much right now, I fully expect to regain the drive at some point, and hopefully I can improve my skills even more.

YES
1CC'D UFO NORMAL
FINALLY
This is nothing to most people here, but I'm ecstatic. UFO is so hard for me. Captured Air Scroll and almost Vaijra in the process. :3

6/6 awwwwww yeah! When I cleared I screamed so loud that I'm sure my neighbors thought that someone was dying or seriously hurt. Done and done. Away with ye SA and your terrible stages 1 and 2! From now on, I only want to see stages 3-6. The Dark Blowhole? Yeah get out of here. I can barely remember the run other than the fact that I stupidly lost lives with a lot of power in stages 2 and 3 and somehow managed to use 4 bombs on Okuu's first card... And then die without getting the life piece. But you know what? Whatever!
UFO, you're up next!
-
What are you thinking of doing next?
I dunno.assuming SanaeA's bomb can get me through as well as SanaeB's bomb
Possibly. The invincibility period is a bit shorter, the bomb damage is ~35% less and the total damage is ~50% less.Man, you're a scary guy....

Got 12-2, 12-3 and 11-7 in DS No focus/camera alignment switch with Aya :V
-
Of my last four attempts at Scarlet Meister, three captured the card.
Feels great to get that right mindset back.
-
Minor achievement here but I haven't been playing much.
I finally unlocked Stage 4 Practice on SA Hard. The run (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25105) has significantly more stupid mistakes than normal, but I actually used bombs properly instead of dying everywhere with lots of power in stock. And that made the difference, with no deaths till Yuugi's bubble spell.
Though that's not really why I'm posting. An interesting idea kinda occurred to me: Has anyone tried dodging Border of Wave and Particle at the top or sides of the screen? It's very counter-intuitive but would make for an interesting challenge
-
This isn't SA, how do you have so many graze points? :P
It's knowing a few key points to milk graze at. I'm pretty unoptimal at grazing though, since I'm skipping lots of things for better survival. I guess 20,000 would be a fair goal for normal if I learned how to do Yuyuko properly. Or stage 5's cards (or final Prismriver card).
Hey, I'm blogging for a bit over here for a change. I've been using some threads (the /jp/ STG thread, for example) as my personal blog lately and it might've been a wrong thing to do. Oh, well, whatever. Let's be self-centered and not mind what other people think.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/W8Zah.png)
I failed yuyuko's third card by breaking a border. Grazing was pretty unoptimal and I was quite shaky during Reflowering (and during the entire Yuyuko battle, really).
Fun to see that 1,49x again. This time it was only a few millions from breaking that boundary of 1,5B. Had I not failed Alice's final card it'd probably have gone past the "neat number". Or missed fairies in stage 4. Or broken the border on that damn Yuyuko-card worth of several tens of millions.
But I don't feel bad, instead of that I feel rather pleased and happy. I'll be content with this, enough sanity has been sunk into this challenge, and I won't be continuing it for a while. At least not on this shot. Maybe I'll return to ReimuA one day, when everything feels lighter. For now, I don't want the same thing that happened with UFO to happen with this game. And I really don't want to get all angry and slash someone close to me or less close to me.
I'll be happy and content with 1,49B. It's a nice number. Maybe I'll swap shots and go for ReimuB 1,6B (would have to learn stage 4 though) or do something with the other games. Keep doing silly stuff with MoF or SA. I don't really know. Time will tell. But for now, it's time to not return to ReimuA. I'll make a scoreboard post later.

The invincibility period is a bit shorter, the bomb damage is ~35% less and the total damage is ~50% less.
I just learned that the hard way during Shou. Bombed the first wave of her second non-spell (panicked), and I ended up having to bomb again :(. Basically cost me the 1 bomb I thought I saved on RTG by only needing one death to finish that card.
That's awesome. Honestly, how can you stand that game PUT THE KNIFE AWAY NINI
Well I suppose it's because SA is wonderfully paced in both excitement and difficulty compared to earlier games. I don't even mind stage 5 all that much because I'm so focused on getting enough power to beat that damn cat that I tune out how bad it is. I suppose it would be MUCH worse in perfect attempts though (same with stage 6). Other games just don't have that tension. MoF has the stupid stages 1, 3, 5, and 6 (including bosses) as the only things I give a damn about from those stages are Yamato Torus and VoWG, because those are the only remotely threatening things. PCB has that horrendous stage 4 and I refuse to do anymore 1ccs of it because of that stage. I just hate the familiar thing in IN. EoSD has a completely boring stage 2 and a much less boring but still painful in that the entire stage is one big stream-fest stage 4. UFO is awesome. I haven't played enough of TD to get a good feel for it yet. It's probably in the middle of the pack.
PS - You should perfect the UFO bosses :)

HELL FREAKING FRIGGIN' YEAH.
NO-BOMB TOUHOU 11 SA LUNATIC WITH MARISAA! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25117)
All of the bull I was getting with pixel clips on Yuugi to the several hundred Yamame-going-down-on-1st-non-several-times-in-a-row, to Salice's 1st and 3rd spells squashing me in impossible situations, I still managed to do it.
Didn't capture Hell's Tokamak or Sub Sun this time, which was disappointing, but I got a Perfect Orin, and that more than makes up for it! :D

Cool stuff Nindel. I'm still waiting for that Pacifist Orin btw.
Those attempts have brought me to tears with how close I've gotten so so many times... it took a great effort, but I'm sorta lowering the priority on that goal for my own sake, sorry... :ohdear:
-
Alright. Well, doing No-bombs clears with the other shittypes is also a worthwhile time investment. Go for 6/6 NB clears.
-
I can't tell if that's a typo. <_<
-
You will have accidentally beat the game without bombs nor lives in some next run.
-
Now I've made it to Utsuho with two different shot types (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25118). I don't think ReimuB is working out - Ghost Wheels, of all things, is destroying my resources. Not sure to continue or not.
-
I can't tell if that's a typo. <_<
Haha, well I is located right next to O so it just might've been. but no, it was intentional.
-
Holy crap, I capped DBDB. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25121) Also made it to Subterranean Sun but that doesn't feel like as big of an accomplishment. This game is much easier with ReimuA and if it wasn't for some dumb mistakes it would have been a clear.
Really nothing compares to UFO on the difficulty front. Maybe no-bombs would be harder but :V

You can definitely get the clear with ReimuB!
Watched your replay, you should probably look into the cheese method for Orin's 2nd non... also, bombing so much on her 2nd spell sorta doomed you later on. The two BoWaP fairies at the end of stage 6 are static, you should try to capture them so that you get max power if you're not already! Other than that, silly deaths and a few unnecessary bombs messed up some things... but you're definitely on the road to clearing with her!
Your run was good up till stage 5 though, the death to red lasers on stage 4 was kinda silly, but it didn't really harm the run too much.
Haha, well I is located right next to O so it just might've been. but no, it was intentional.
Oh! I didn't notice that, haha. Hey, they ain't bad! Just harder to no-bomb with :3
-
Thanks Nindella! I was wondering what I could improve. I could have capped Vengeful Cannibal Spirit - it's pretty easy with Reimu B's piercing - but I was kind of on edge after a few really bad runs and was feeling pessimistic. The second nonspell cheese and BoWaP fairies I'll definitely look into practicing (though with BoWaP fairies you get 1 power back from bombing them so at higher power levels I won't hesitate to do so).
-

I believe the wheels in ghost wheels count as bullets, so if you plant one on top of Orin, you might be able to skip it with 2 bombs, similar to MarisaB. I'm not 100% sure though.
Watched your replay too, here are some things:
Stage 1:
-Stream straight down the middle before Kisume and you don't need to run around for power and can end her card quicker.
-There's a much easier way of doing Kisume's first card. Make Kisume move to the left/right three times, cross under her to the middle, then stay constantly under her as you make her move towards the opposite direction you lured her in. You should only need to dodge a few bullets. It's a very consistent method for me, but if you're fine with what you're doing, then go for it.
-I recommend maxing the communication gauge at the very last wave of the stage, and just streaming the whole thing to a corner. I find it's much easier to get caught off guard otherwise. Again, see the last sentence of the previous point.
Stage 3:
-The whole bit with the lasers before boss Yuugi is almost trivialized by sitting in a corner, or very close to it. I use the left one because I stream from the right to get the red fairies. I would recommend bombing it with a lot of other characters, but with ReimuB's bomb, the spirits it spawns homes in on Yuugi, which means you get pretty much no power from it. Sucks.
-Yuugi's second non-card is static based on her position. There is something close to a safespot the left of Yuugi's "enemy" marker. You'll just need to adjust based on Yuugi's position, and dodge the blue lasers accordingly. The red lasers will never hit you there though.
-Yuugi's last non-card can be easily done by dodging the initial wave from the center, moving upwards to avoid the clusters from the side, and moving to the left/right and camping in the last third/fourth of the screen, making only minimal dodges.
-You handled Ooe beautifully, despite the one death. I'm never confident enough to make some of the dodges you did.
Stage 4:
-You should never die to the red lasers before midboss Orin. If you start from the center and stream to the left/right when the red lasers come, you'll always kill the orbs that spawn the lasers on that side, and you won't have to dodge anything. This will only work above a certain power threshold though. It definitely doesn't work at 0 power.
-I'm going to assume the bomb at the beginning of the green amulet section was specific to this run, but if it wasn't, just know that the green amulets are static.
-The red lasers in the section after the green amulets can be handled in the same way as the part before midboss Orin, but the green amulets linger on the screen, making dodging the first wave of red lasers difficult. The same general strategy applies though, just watch out for the green amulets.
-Christ the way you dodged Terrifying Hypnotism was magical. How in the world do you do that? Same with Pandemonium.
Stage 5:
-I really don't recommend immediately bombing midboss Orin's first non-spell. You will spend a lot more time in popcorn hell if you do. If you let it go for a while, you won't even need to bomb once during it.
-Yeah you should learn the cheese method for the second non-spell
-Don't sit on top of Orin while bombing during her final card. She won't fire the popcorn bullets if you do, and you'll miss out on some bomb damage.
Stage 6:
-I would say to learn how to do the purple streaming section, but I never bothered to learn either, so I'll keep my mouth shut.
-If you have the power as ReimuB, always plant the bomb on top of Orin right as the card starts. You'll deal a ton of damage.
-And like Nindella said, the Bowap fairies are static. If you want to bomb one, bomb the first one, as I believe its pattern is slightly harder than the second.
-I find that doing Okuu's non-spells where she flies around the screen (second and fourth I believe?) to be easier if I'm closer to the middleish of the screen. I can't remember when I last legitimately died to them. Your mileage may vary.
You're a much better player than I am, and I managed to barely scrape through a 1cc with ReimuB, so you can definitely do it. If you just learn to trivialize a few more things, then you can get this 1cc easy. Okuu past her first card isn't terribly hard. You got this!
-
Thanks! I'll do some stage 5 practice tomorrow and see what I can incorporate. I definitely bombed a lot more than usual, but hey, wasn't expecting to get that far.
The ghost wheels are not bullets, unfortunately. I've planted bombs on top of Orin and they've gone right through. Since the needles don't spawn from her hand you actually do not get a lot of damage from bombing, which is a pity.
-
Captured the Lunatic version Marisa's Black Magic "Event Horizon" on the first try with solo Youmu (in a test run to unlock stage practice 2-5, that went pretty badly otherwise, surprised I survived until Kaguya's 3rd nonspell). I consider this significant because I'd never captured the card on Hard (or tried it on Lunatic) with any solo human due to those solid familiars.
-
Well, I can say that I am definitively getting better at UFO. I can usually get to and past Shou before getting game over'd. I think I just need to settle down during some parts. Midboss Nue Sphere still causes problems (though stage 3 form is getting there). Hoping I can 1cc it during Thanksgiving break, when I actually have time to play it longer.

Good Game, Marisa Man
Can you see her life bar? Me neither. Well, no, I can see it, but just barely. I think it's that pixel-sized slice over there.
---
This run was extraordinarily good. I got to the spell before the spell before last (the one in which you cannot have enough reaction time to dodge the giant familiars raining down from the heavens) with what I estimate was ~530% Motivation. I died... at least twice, and got to Blazing Star Like Tag with ~400% Motivation and no Perfect Freezes. I got to the last spell with 70% Motivation and one Perfect Freeze.
I really wanted to save it for the last phase, I really did. I was forced (??? who knows) to use it late in the second phase, which is a real bummer.
Like I said, this run was extraordinarily good. I don't expect to reach the last spell again in a million years. I need at least three lives to burn on Blazing Star Like Tag's final phase.
At least I'm used to "omigosh-nearly-got-this-helluva-achievement" by this point. Not much can beat that death at Scarlet Gensokyo~

Sounds awesome. I did eventually plan to do that one as well, guess you'll beat me to it. <_<
GFW extra is best extra as well
-
So I guess the best way to get better at Marine Benefit is to not play it for ages. :V
I just went into Stage 2 Lunatic, just for a warmup and to see how much my skills had deteriorated. I attempted timeouts of every single card in the stage, expecting to maybe get one of them. I got ALL OF THEM. In the same run.
I then proceed to go into Stage 5 and perfect the stage portion for the first time ever. My only death to Megumi was to Eau-De-Vie, and because I was trying for a timeout. I lasted until the 6 second mark, and then proceed to cap Eight Million Laughing Gods. So I would have perfected Megumi if I'd just gone for a capture. ::)
Anyway...here's my timeout of Escher Screw (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMNrg-i8o-E), uploaded because IMO it's the hardest thing in that stage. I'll put up the others if anyone requests them.
-
Sounds about right. Badass achievement, that's for sure.Sounds awesome. I did eventually plan to do that one as well, guess you'll beat me to it. <_<

I wouldn't say that if you started soon. I just at these games, remember? :V plus, doing something before someone else does it doesn't make an achievement less worth. and if we go by that "logic" you'd have beaten me to everything but suwako. (considering you didn't do Flandre, ran, seiga and nitori yet)
but yeah, doing NMNB marisa will probably take a lot of time and it might take more tries than mountain of faith's stage 4. possibly. I AM pretty horrible, after all. can't do so much shit for my life.
oh yeah, you people can now watch my perfects (I will upload other stuff, too, though) on my youtube channel :V http://www.youtube.com/user/Sakurei1/videos?view=0 if anyone's interested, anyway. I didn't upload stage 1s and 2s, because I planned to put them up in one video. have to go through the trouble of making a replay for minoriko :V
Also no Meiling because no practice replays. might re-do her with life recording, though.

I have no replay to prove it.
However, I have timed out Scarlet Gensokyo withuot bombing or dying.
Got something done today after all.
-
Dude seriously. Replay patch. Now.
You're doing some pretty cool stuff there and it's a real shame that it goes undocumented.
-
Aren't you going for a perfect Remilia? Why are you doing this without a patch?
-
Good job BT! Now get the replay patch dammit.
I got the SA ReimuB 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25137). Not really my best play but eh. Failed Ooe unfortunately because I did wacky things while unfocused, but otherwise the first three stages were textbook. Satori went fine as did Stage 4 (I died to the same laser again - I swear I don't do that very often, you guys!) Really good handling of popcorn hell at 0 power followed by a messy Orin fight and a messier Utsuho fight. Hell's Tokamak was... not my finest hour.
Extra does not seem like there's lots of fun dodging so I'll move on to PoFV or IN. More likely PoFV.

Okay, so i couldn't gather up any competence at Mountain of Faith at all so I decided to put a bit of effort into getting that NMNBNT Ten Desires Stage 5 run and ehh... four attempts later I got it.
Would have been three attempts if not for a hilariously dumb double K.O on her final card.
Now I'm only lacking Miko and Mamizou and I'll have fully NMNBNT'd all stages in this game. I tried moving on to attempt a bit of Mamizou after this but I failed. Tried three runs and I managed to somehow die on all of them. One for every run. Even the first and third one. *Sigh* the tragedies never cease. ::)
So guys. Who should I target next?
EDIT:
I randomly tried to pacify Stage 2 in TD. Died once. Not at the boss but at something that turns out to be quite ridiculous. Had a fun time. Kyouko's a pretty fun boss. Why can't the rest of the game reach that level of quality? :(
-
So I just perfected Gengetsu.
:]
okay so it was with MarisaA and there's no recording, but still
-
Something cool I noticed after a random SA 6 run that capped Hell's Tokamak: my history shows 4/5 Utsuho cards captured for every difficulty, and every uncaptured card is from a different family.

I concede defeat. Only problem now is that I can't find a working link to the patch and that one Chinese site that needs registration won't let me register~

90 scenes cleared No Focus/camera alignment change in DS with Aya.
I'm so happy about finally getting 10-1 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25152), it's pretty tough without camera charge and more so without focus or range increase. Since an all clear like this is actually impossible I think I'll take a break from this challenge here. I have some relatively easy ones left but I'll let them be for now. I also got true no vertical clears of 5-8 with both Hatate and Aya.
-
Shitty personal accomplishment time. I "captured" Byakuren's 2nd non. Not sure if it took 7 or 8 hours, it hurt to keep count. I messed up really bad and got surrounded by lasers from all sides and basically lucked out. Not good enough. NEVER good enough. There's always a better way. At least all patterns are at least very, very improbable now. I didn't quite like very, very impossible.

SA Perfect Stage 3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnIljP_QAZI)
yeah :V I went around and finally did Yuugi. It's nothing groundbreaking, but it leaves me with "only" 2 stage 3s left, which one of them I haven't tried for a while now. may go around and do Keine sometime soon.
-
Do you have Ichirin?
-
Outside of Ephemerality, everything in Keine can be memorized, so it shouldn't be too bad.
-
working on ichirin currently, but so far I have around 30 1DNB runs :V it's always something different, though. Clearly not a skill issue. Keine and ichirin are the only ones left for stage 3s. I do believe ichirin will come sometimes soon, though :v
and yeah, Keine shouldn't be too bad. so, uh...yeah, expect me to finish up all the stage 3s this month :V

UFO Extra clear ! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25155) :toot:
This took so many attempts...probably over 250 restarts, only 1/3 reaching midboss and around 50 reaching Nue.
Well, I'm really happy with this run. Cleared with one life remaining, first death was at Rainbow UFO, then survival was an awful bombspam as planned. :V
Also, congrats Cactu on NBNUFO clear...this is insane, really.

-
Not good enough. NEVER good enough. There's always a better way.
Heart-wrecking I know. I know there's not really anything I can say to ease your pain so I'll just stick to including you in the video-version of my TD Stage 2 annotation that I just made.
Here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=symmlbdvA8c&feature=youtu.be) - Its Kyouko pacified with no mistakes at all. Stage 2 thrown in there for good measure. If anyone is man for improving this I'd like to see it. Now with official Zengy style perverted commentary with Kyouko as the main character. Here's hoping someone will enjoy it. I at least had fun writing it. Just skip the stage portion, nothing interesting happens there.
So why not just cut it? Idk, because i'm a moron or something.
-
Decided to try ReimuA again. I managed to make it to stage 5 Nazrin despite messing up the stage 1 UFOs, really messing up the end of Stage 3 (as usual), and getting hit by a fairy during stage 4 Nueball. I then got to Stage 6 after one continue and to LFS after about four continues. Having strong forward power is nice, even if certain stage parts are really annoying without any spread. I might alternate between ReimuA and SanaeA now.
(More like progress than "success", but the latter doesn't happen very often :ohdear:)
-
I promise I won't post every time I do this, but I beat Koishi again - 25 days since I managed it the first time, then promptly lost that ability for quite a while. Genetics of the Subconscious went horribly as ever, costing me 3 bombs + 2 lives, but other than that it was a quite decent game.

my perfect SA extra.

Hey all, guess what?
I just timed out Virtue of Wind God. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0CEeH-E9IU)
My heart is still pounding and my body is still shaking.
-
Wow. Congratulations.
Is someone still keeping a list of the people who have timed it out? I remember seeing a list of 14 once (the last on that list was Zil), but it was a while ago, and I know Riz (video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa5GYuRF02w)) wasn't on that list.
-
I would be on that list if I had time to try :V
Congrats though, it's 2 and a half minutes and it's not exactly trivial either.
-

I take it that's still the spell to timeout.
It certainly seems like it'd be one of the most fun.
Not that I'm anywhere close myself. I still get a game over like half the time when attempting VoWG without shooting or bombing (those attempts generally start due to a death when trying to capture it in practice mode).
Edit: I found the list.
FallenAngelVeronica, Kefit, Jaimers, Krim, BaitySM, Zetsumarshen, Zengeku, Sapz, Funen1, Enigma, Naut, Aizo, Kanon, Zil
Riz, Thanuris, and now Malkyrian have accomplished it since then, so does that make 17? Or is there anyone else?
-
Oh, hey. Congrats Malyrian! This thread is really becoming terrifying. Full of Lunatics and all that. Scary stuff.
Just coming here to mention that I got a halfway decent score in SoEW Extra. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CF0nnAL9lnA) I'll just slink back into the lonely world of PC-98 scoring now.
By the way, I've never heard of FallenAngelVeronica outside being repeatedly mentioned as the first to timeout VoWG. Does she have any other claim to fame? Is it a pseudonym for someone else?
-
I'd never heard of her either. I googled it a while back to see where I came in on that list. Couldn't find the list, but I did see that apparently she closed her Youtube account a while back.
I was kind of hoping I was the first non-male player to have timed out VoWG. Oh, well.
-
I was kind of hoping I was the first non-male player to have timed out VoWG. Oh, well.

FAV was a highly renowned Touhou player back in the, you could say, first generation of lunatic players. I didn't know her well myself, but as far as I could tell, she was second-best behind Kefit. The accomplishments of those days kind of pale compared to the crazy and (if you ask me) arbitrary goals of today's folk, but she was as good as they came. The reason you probably haven't heard of her much is because she quit the community to focus on college a few years back, removing all traces of her existence in the process.
-
And I'm a non-male that will never time it out. :V
-
Huh. Incidentally, I just tried seriously for the first time ever to time out VoWG.
...Is this really the accomplishment everyone speaks of in legend? :S It's more a battle of attrition than skill; all I had to do was switch from dodging in the center to dodging in the corner, and within two tries I was down to a 2DNB run. I could probably do this within a couple days if I cared.
-
Congrats, Malky!
Here's a less amazing accomplishment from me. I've caught all of Mystia's spells, with her first boss spell being the most recent.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25186
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEb6yOy8Vy8
-
So I decided to try NBNUFO. On normal though, I'm not crazy.
2 deaths, 1 to the blue streaming in Stage 4 (embarrassing) and 1 to Murasa's 3rd card (in an embarrassing fashion). I could perfect this normal if I really felt like it. I'm pretty happy about having a replay with a perfect Shou now though, since I accidentally didn't save my other one :o
So yeah, perfect every stage except 4 in the same run. Good enough for me...for now.
-
Hey all, guess what?
I just timed out Virtue of Wind God. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0CEeH-E9IU)
My heart is still pounding and my body is still shaking.
Considering you've been going through a timing out pretty much everything, I was wondering when you were going to try your hand at the card to time out.
I wasn't expecting that to just sort of appear in my sub box though, but still a VoWG timeout is pretty freaking impressive. Congrats! You've earned your place on that apparently poorly maintained list of fame!
-
*bows*
I take it that's still the spell to timeout.
I don't.
Huh. Incidentally, I just tried seriously for the first time ever to time out VoWG.

This is why.
It is very much a measure of your patience. When you're good enough, it essentially becomes harder because you also have to keep your concentration. I can't bring myself to say that the card isn't hard, but it doesn't present the kind of challenge that will keep me alert for 2.5 minutes. It's hard to not fall asleep.
Basically, if I once thought that timing out VoWG is some all-glorious benchmark after beating the games on Lunatic, now I don't!
Not that I want to rain on your parade, Malky. It's still mighty impressive, but for different reasons. Just my take on things.
-
Congratiulations.
Do SFN
-
congratulations, malky. I was thinking about timing it out long time ago, but never bothered, maybe I'll pick it up. maybe
I mean, I still have marisa to perfect :D
Oh, hey. Congrats Malyrian! This thread is really becoming terrifying. Full of Lunatics and all that. Scary stuff.
coming from the guy who's done crazy thing that lets almost everything in this thread pale in comparison. the biggest lunatic would be you :V
whoa wait what malky is a girl

Pales in comparison to VoWG, though, congrats Malky.
-edit- hmm I might have tried a year ago or so, but I can't be sure. Anyway, it gave me a nice little adrenaline rush!
-
Malky. Great job doing that. You're pretty well on the way to become the current gen Veronica. Keep going strong. I'll be rooting for you!

There are many things people can probably do. Doesn't mean anything unless they actually do it. I could probably do a MoF NMNB run if I could be bothered to spam runs until I got one where I didn't die to Momiji or PWG. But unless I actually do it, it doesn't really mean anything at all.
2MNB VoWG timeout is pretty easy modo to do anyway. It's to survive it all without fuck-ups even as your focus starts to fade away that's the tough challenge (not the toughest but yeah, still pretty hard). The way you write about it make it sound like handling the spell doesn't take skill but just patience but that is not true. Stop discrediting the value of the accomplishment. That's not nice.
-
Hey guys, ben a while since I posted anything. I kinda took a break for a while to play some other games (and to give my eyes a break from the pretty colors). Congrats to all the recent accomplishments, especially for Malkyrian's timeout of VoWG. On a personal note, I finally got FW Extra. Here's the replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25190).
I find this clear to be eerie, for lack of a better word. It only occured to me when I glanced around the srceen after finishing off fairy destruction ray, but my total Ice area was 3131% and my score was just shy of 31 million .
Now for the eerie part, my college basketball jersey was #31. :getdown:
WAT
That CANNOT be a coincidence.
Also tried out some FW hard and game overed on Fairy Overdrive (route A-1). considering I haven't really given that much effort on it I should be bale to clear it without TOO much trouble.

It takes skill but it does take more patience than skill from the 50-60 tries I've put in. I've gotten like 5 2DNB runs and a 3DNB run that was perfect to 41 seconds left so I could get it, I just don't feel like pouring in the attempts right now.

I could also totally get a lot of those perfects i'm lacking, or some timeouts that I haven't done yet or hell, 1ccs of hard shmup games I haven't done yet. I just don't feel like pouring in the attempts right now.
This is silly.
-
Made it to the 37 second mark in a SFN timeout attempt.
-
This is silly.
Yes. But stating facts is discrediting the accomplishment...how? All I did was state my impression from when I was sort of grinding it out.
Motivation is the number 1 obstacle to accomplishments, number 2 is time. 3rd is skill and 4th is luck. Seeing as my main problem comes from number 2 and my motivation to continue grinds beyond a few failed attempts at a time, there's lots of things I could do but probably won't.
Oh and I got to Stage 6 in SA ultra hard. It's too bad I'm awful at regular Stage 3, else I could avoid 1-2 deaths there and put me in a better position for the rest of the game. Additionally I found out how to dodge Yamame's 2nd spell despite the wall :]

I kinda see it the other way around in that skill is the primary factor where I can only get accomplishments done if I'm good enough to do it within my patience or time limits but that's not relevant. The thing I don't like about what you and Donut said is that you both insist on pointing out that you could both totally do it, you just don't feel like it instead of properly congratulating the great accomplishment that it is and I find it disrespectful towards Malky who has been trying to do this for a long time. I would be really annoyed with you guys if all the feedback i could get from you after spending so much time doing something difficult was 'pfft. you're just very patient'.
Then mention to me some timeouts that aren't just measures of patience then?

When did I ever say anything related to Malky? I was talking purely in terms of myself. I could tell you all kinds of accomplishments people slave over that I think are silly to be held in such high regard, but that doesn't mean I'm trying to put down the people who do them. It's just that people have always talked about a VoWG timeout like it's the greatest mental challenge one can complete, but upon trying it for myself, it's not near as fun as straight capturing the card. I was more questioning why this accomplishment in particular was so hallowed that there's a running list of people who've done it.
In retrospect though, I can see how my post would be taken that way. If it did come across that way to Malky, then I apologize; it was not my intention to say anything bad about you.
Also, I'd say what's more questionable is that people are reacting more to the fact that Malky is a girl than her accomplishment. ;>.>

Isn't (normal)Keine's one that's not-so-bad once you figure it out? Maybe try that one? Just cuz Wriggle's the first stage boss doesn't necessarily mean her LW's the easiest as well, does it? (I'm seriously asking, since I don't have IN to test this theory myself.)
-
wheeeeeee Imperishable Night Extra clear. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25198) 8D

Wriggle's LW is tough, I've attempted it over forty times with no luck. Keine's is fairly easy though.
-
I've seen many people complaining about Wriggle's LW being hard and taking 70+ attempts, but I personally didn't have any problem with it... I used Remilia though. But I have to admit it was quite intimidating. :V
I'd say Eirin's LW is the easiest, and the hardest is obviously Reimu's.
-
Keine doesn't seem as difficult in Last Word. :)
-
1.5 billion SA ReimuC run (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25200). Fuck yes.
Also cue Nindella beating this no focus!
-
Finally 1cc'd SA Normal after what feels like at least a month (considering my record on Capture Web is 107/110, that isn't unlikely), so I figured it was time to sign up. And boy, was it a good run, with only 4 deaths (1 on Needle Mountain and Hell's Artificial Sun, 2 on Hell/Heaven Meltdown, bombspam really pays off). Entering Utsuho's last with 7 lives felt so good compared to the three previous times with 0 lives. I'm glad the effort paid off, and now I'm so sick of the game that I won't touch it outside of the extra stage for likely a looong time.
Contrast my IN 1cc from two days ago with little effort (not even 20 Wriggle attempts) that didn't go as well. I messed up all four of Kaguya's last spells that I saw, but oh well, 1cc is 1cc. At least I reached all the other last spells save for Marisa's!
So that leaves Remilia, Eirin, Byakuren and Miko, with UFO as probably the next main target. Another accomplishment there: I got to stage 6 for the first time today, without continuing nonetheless! Stupid mistakes all over the place (and Murasa's timeout, and Shou) didn't let me reach Byakuren though.
btw grats malky, that replay was rather ...intense.

Keine doesn't seem as difficult in Last Word. :)
Emperor of the East is pretty easy. It's the first Last Word that I caught. :3

I was more questioning why this accomplishment in particular was so hallowed that there's a running list of people who've done it.
That's probably just because it was a much more impressive thing to do back in the Kefit days. Both you and me have done a bunch of things considerably harder than a VoWG timeout, it's just this spell that gets a list for some reason. It's still a cool thing to pull off but it's not as cool as it was back in 2009 when the general skill level of this forum was so much lower.

Both you and me have done a bunch of things considerably harder than a VoWG timeout, it's just this spell that gets a list for some reason. It's still a cool thing to pull off but it's not as cool as it was back in 2009 when the general skill level of this forum was so much lower.
The obvious solution is for everyone to play badly so that everything gets a list.

1DNB timeout of Greatest Treasure (1 power going in is why), 2nd wave derp death Greatest Treasure, capture.
Shou went about as well as Shou can go, including 3 last second deaths to Complete Clarification.
I have this stage down in terms of tactics.

Also full-game scoring is way more interesting than timeouts. You actually have to survive a variety of patterns (unless it's TD where you bomb most of them), not necessarily with the easiest method you'd use for simply surviving them, and in most games also plan your resource usage, in a full ~25 minute run. And there's always still room for improvement even after meeting any given scoring target.

I'm more surprised by the fact that you're such a good player at the age of -1113. Took me fourteen hundred years to get this good.
-
This is a pretty silly accomplishment. I caught Curse of the Heavens "Apollo 13" on Lunatic, and it took just a bit over half as many tries compared to the Hard version. 1/32 for Hard compared to 1/14 for Lunatic. :getdown:

Hah, that is definitely true. Scoring is the only activity in shmups where it makes sense to rank people. That and by 1cc's if you really want to. I'm too bad to score though so I'll have to simply stick to NMNB's and pacifism until I get better/ZUN makes a system that'll truly captivate me.
PS: You're female too? I didn't know. Good to know we've got a few competent female players around though.
-
ZUN makes a system that'll truly captivate me.
Are you telling me LLS MoF doesn't truly captivate you?!
-
Protip to everyone surprised: don't assume gender. Male is not supposed to be the null hypothesis, it's "I don't know". It never ceases to amaze me how quickly people make that assumption.
Oh right, achievements, um...I just timed out Stupid Miko's False Exorcism (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxefmyVnVSA) again.

At least you have better Lunatic high scores than a lot of people do, judging by that stage 5 timeout video you uploaded a while ago (which motivated me to improve my scores, still have yet to match or exceed your IN 3.3b or SA 1.4b). It seems most Lunatic single-stage/spell videos I've seen don't have a high score any better than an average first 1cc.
And thanks for indicating you've never checked my profile.

That sounds almost just like what I was thinking.
-
And thanks for indicating you've never checked my profile.
Many people don't take that "Female" seriously. Even T set it as so, and I honestly don't know Seiga's gender. And people probably didn't know mine before because the "Female" could be referring to Wriggle herself. Still, not that I mind.
And yeah, even I almost always assume every Touhou player whose gender I don't know is male. :V
-
Oops, another no-miss Lunatic 1cc. (http://oi47.tinypic.com/2j0gpiw.jpg)
The Chiyuri fight was notably silly. I didn't bomb or take any damage. She went down just as her little drum solo started. So anyway, PoDD is the greatest game in the universe, etc. I'm still terrible at it, unfortunately. I need to stop trying to score and do some more survival runs. Kotohime still tears me apart whenever she feels like it. I think I'm getting better though. I can plainly see the areas that need improvement, which is better than being lost, I should think. Someday, maybe soon, I'll get 100 million, and from there I have to somehow find a way to 120 million, to beat that mysterious KM person. I'm glad he exists (or existed, at least). Gives me something to aim for, and to wonder about. It's kind of creepy, even.
I honestly don't know Seiga's gender.
Pretty sure Seiga's a guy, though I thought he was a girl until recently. I tend to check the profile and just assume it's true, unless there's some good reason to doubt it.

Hey, if i'm motivating you to improve then that's of course awesome. Those scores however are really not that spectacular i must say. They are pretty much just the result of survival play pretty much. In IN I have never taken the time to learn the score tricks necessary for getting a good score in that game. The 3.3 billion is just the result of a relatively well executed survival performance until i hit Kaguya, as usual.
For SA, all I really did was burn all my lives grazing Parsee's non-spells and then 1cc'ing the game on the extends i'd get from that point onwards. Still nothing fancy. The scores might be better than a lot of people's but I don't really view myself as a serious scoreplaying guy. There's just not a Touhou game yet that has managed to come up with both good enough survival and score system for me to get seriously invested. It's usually either one or the other.
Again, would like to maybe get into scoreplay one day. It's just either me sucking too terribly or the score tricks being too scary or a combination of both.
-
I managed to 3CC EoSD.
I'm hopeless against Sakuya and Remi, so I continued to get some practise and uunlock Stage 5 and 6 in Practise.
Ironically I almost captured Princess Udaine, which I've never done, and actually no-death'ed Patch. [Koakuma, on the other hand, decided to wall me with her kunai within the bubbles no bombs in stock]
Screw Red Walls Magic
-
I'm more of a score guy myself, but these last few days I've been having a lot of fun with the various bosses of Touhou, trying to NMNB them. So here's what I did these last 2 days.
-Patchouli as both ReimuA and MarisaB. I've been very close with ReimuB (one bomb, no miss)
-Prismrivers as ReimuB. I just felt like playing stage 4 once on my stream (hilariously poorly I might add) and then this happened... somehow. Only the second non-spell is notably hard, though.
-Youmu Konpaku as ReimuB. This fight is a lot easier than I've thought. It has one hard card right at the start, the rest is easy. I broke one border on the stage but I'm not sure I even want to fix that because I don't enjoy the stage.
I've also been close to get Sakuya done (4 NMNB attempts ended at killing doll so far) and Remilia (capturing everything but Meister)
Shou is as difficult as always, though. Not even close there. The main problem is that I really suck at her second non-spell. If I pass it, it is through sheer luck. I can capture all of her spells reasonably often, but I can't keep up with the second non. These 3 bosses are my main priorities right now. It's somewhat taxing to have to get all the way to the boss every time I want to fight her though. Especially Sakuya because her stage is piss boring and her first non-spell kills me way, way too often. Still, It's nice to get some victories done. With score, there is always room for improvement, so you can never be satisfied. Getting a NMNB may not be as difficult as getting a high score but It's still somewhat satisfying, in its own way.

Magical singular day moderate 1cc. (https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14636011/bangjan-muxed.zip)

Another marine success!
Yomeishu "Eau-De-Vie" timeout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AB-f8K_WmBI)!
Took me long enough getting this thing. Only sad part of this is having far less motive to do MB Stage 5 with all its awesomeness. :(
-
EoSD LNB with ReimuA! (http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=25223) That's 2/4 shot types beaten Lunatic without bombing.
The run... I clear with 2 lives in stock. Captured Scarlet Meister. Of course I can't perfect stage 5, only death to killing doll. I guess dying to Meiling's opener gave me luck.
The Marisa shots... have to wait. Months.
-
For SA, all I really did was burn all my lives grazing Parsee's non-spells and then 1cc'ing the game on the extends i'd get from that point onwards.
That's exactly what I've been trying to do to improve my SA score, actually. Except I keep failing to 1cc.
Well, I also wait out BoWaP (no reason not to) and supergraze Yamame's second nonspell (which I found to be easier than playing the Lunatic version the normal way when going for my first 1cc), and use a few bombs for point items throughout the game if I happen to be at high power at the time (such as on stage 3's stage portion, stage 4 Orin's appearances, or the exploding spirits at the start/end of stage 5). Is that more than you did?
-

Yeah, I'm male. When I registered, I figured people would take the gender as seriously as the age and the location, which is why I'm skeptical about everyone else. particularly people who list a negative age *cough*
-
Fair enough. Enjoy your UFO.
Well well. MSD is also fucking awesome. Badass stages, bosses and the soundtrack is only as good as you make it be. Every one go play it, stop wasting time pursuing stupid Touhou-related accomplishments unless it's UFO you're working on. :V

The only place i recall bombing for point items is the Stage 4 midboss. But it's a long time ago I set that score so I don't exactly remember. Also, my real hi-score is 1.3 billion, not 1.4. That 1.4 score is a result of me TAS'ing the game to unlock stages for practice way way back.

My natural inclination is to assume gender based on avatar. Thus every single person (minus I think 2) on this board is obviously a girl. Plus a few inanimate objects. :V
-
Decided to see how rusty I got at MoF lunatic.
Game Overed to Momiji :V
Immediately after I got 2DNB runs of Stage 4, and 5, and 6* in a row.
*Went for VoWG timeout because it wasn't perfect, died but did reach 76 seconds left and would have captured.
The Stage 4 run had a perfect Aya with no forgiving PWG, that's like the 4th time I've perfected Aya. Died to Sanae a few times though which was pretty embarassing. Nitori...I can't do her spells except her first any more. Oh well, at least I'm not too rusty.

I captured Murasa's survival card and made it all the way to Byakuren's second to last card. :toot:

Yes, we're all lil' girls on the inside :)
Ehh, relating on topic, managed to capture all of MarisaB's Satori spells in a no-bomb SA Lunatic attempt!! That means that I captured Princess Undine! First time capturing that too! :D
Just a shame the run had to have the worst Utsuho ever (4 deaths to the first two spells combined, Jesus), I'll get the no-bomb soon... :ohdear:
-
Just captured Score Desire Eater (Yoshika's last card on lunatic).
Twice in a row. What...
edit: and just now, 4 captures of Wild Carpet in a row. TD spell practice is definitely good for honing just generic dodging skills, something that will always come in handy.
-
I decided to give another try at 1cc-ing SA Lunatic with 4 suicides to Parsee for grazing purposes. Managed to reach stage 5, before somehow managing to lose my last two lives to the easy part right before midboss Orin. I already had a ~350 million lead over my 1.08b first 1cc, so I'm definitely on track for at least 1.5b if I actually clear.

PoFV Lunatic Youmu no focus no charge (bombing on X allowed) constant shooting clear. Yay!
-
Of course the run that gets the clear is rather uncool and I make horrifying mistakes all of the time. Had a pretty sweet first round against Eiki, but everything before it was horrific. The third round was not bad either, although I did get rather lucky on some occasions. Second round was shit, Eiki got me right at the start and I could not counter it due to the constant shooting challenge. Had I been scoring it'd been great, but while playing for pure survival...
Well, I uploaded the replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25235) anyway, if you want to watch it. I think I'll make a Youtube video of it, though. While it's rather uncool and my performances against Sakuya, Aya, Komachi and levels 1-5 are horrifying, I'm happy about it.
Huu. I guess I'll get back to scoring. This was a nice blast though, PoFV is certainly enjoyable at times!
-
Blargh. I watched it myself and that Lyrica performance is just godawful. Not to mention that first round Aya (and Komachi.) I can't comprehend why I cleared while playing like this. Oh well.
-

What does that make me?
Edit: FW A-2 Hard clear, took like 3 tries. But more importantly, No bombs EoSD Extra (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25240)! Pretty good considering I haven't touched this stage in like 4-5 months at least. Using Marisa, I finally was able to capture Royal Flare and said fuck it let's go no bombs. Perfect stage portion and Flan up to Maze of Love, since I can't do it right and still mess up doing it by micrododging. Capped Starbow Break and Catadiatropic. Rammed one of the red bullets on Counter clock, and almost capped the survival which I have never gotten farther than like 25 seconds left on. Facepalm @ QED, died with Flan having like 1 hp, I guess I need to play against Star Sapphire more...
But hey, my first Extra no bombs either way.

(Normal)
No bombs or lifes left just before Shou
"K screw it, this run sucked from the start anyway"
Beat Shou perfectly for the first time in my life
"Omg omg omg I can do it! I can do it!"
Die against Byakuren 1st spellcard
"...meh"
-
Ok, so No bombs extra isn't that hard lol, added 2 more in the last couple hours. PCB was pretty easy, but I won't upload the replay because I died 3 times to her final card, before the blue and yellow round bullets even showed up. I mean seriously wtf. I did capture the survival for the first time but I hadn't really tried it in forver so my skill improvement and memory got me through it easily.
MoF no bombs extra clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25246). This one went pretty damn well considering how awful some of it was. perfect stage, die to Suwako's opener :(. Thought about quitting said fuck it. Die to 3rd nonspell, facepalm, good for a while longer, die on first wave of 7 trees. At that point I was pretty much like ok I'm fucked because I had never capped either survival and figured it would burn at least 3 lives to get through them. Somehow I BS cap Red Frog (hooray no bombs epic dodge shenanigans) and proceed to die twice to suwa war, clipped on the second wave and then died with like 4 seconds left. Of course capped the final because I am like 80% (or more I forget because my history is reset on my new computer). So yeah, not a bad day overall.
-
Took about 200 attempts.
Cool. Quicker than mine. Nice job.
-
I... why.
It happened again. I got to Scarlet Gensokyo without dying to anything else in the stage for the second time. I did well. I was doing well. I fought over three quarters of the card, again.
There was a difference this time - I was relatively calm. Relative, because last time I was literally inhaling and exhaling the entire time. I could have done it, easily even.
Actually, last time my death was semi-excusable. This was me literally ramming into a side bullet for no reason at all. Why, me? Why?
Erm.
This post is mainly to inform everyone that MarisaA Makes Everything Easier. This was my second attempt with the gal and I haven't even gotten used to the movement speed yet. Fun fact: the first attempt got a 2DNB run, with both deaths to Meister. Even though MarisaA makes Meister easier thanks to ~speed~.
I'll have this eventually.
(The replay exists this time. Do you need to have the patch applied to see other replays of this type?)
-
Cool. Quicker than mine. Nice job.
Thanks! :D
By the way, who else has timed that card out?
-
So I was at my friend's house doing an EoSD Hard run on my laptop. I got to Scarlet Gensokyo with one extra life and three bombs remaining. About 3/4 of the way through the spell, my friend thought it would be funny to thrust a magazine in my face so I couldn't see for a second, which caused me to die.
If that was my last life, we would have had some serious problems. I did beat Remilia, but if it weren't for that, I would have captured it for the first time. :L
-
(The replay exists this time. Do you need to have the patch applied to see other replays of this type?)
Nope. The patch seems to work by fooling the game into handling practice runs as full runs, which is why the score you get goes to the real high score list rather than your practice high score if you do well enough.
-

Beat Kaguya with Magic Team on Lunatic. However I did so badly that I didn't even see Rising World. Does that even count as a clear or do I have to keep playing this? I really just want to move on, honestly. I've been playing IN for 4 days or so and in that time haven't found much enjoyable about it.
-
My first ever no-death Extra stage! (PCB) (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25255) It also beat my old high score by 79m, topping it for the first time since this February. (I don't know anything about optimizing score, so the difference is all survival and captures).

Does the game say "clear"? If so, you know what the answer is. I only beat the game once on lunatic because frankly I think its boss patterns are kinda bad (Kaguya being the main offender) but it seems like a nice game to play for score, at least.
How many Touhou games did you clear in such a short amount of time, again...?
And WHEN are you going to play the hardest of them all?
-
- It did say Final A,B Clear. Phew, that means I'm out of the woods.
- I've cleared every whole-number Touhou game on Lunatic from EoSD to 10D. I might go for the first 5 but right now I'm going to take a little break.

NMNB Stage 5 IN Lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25259) (no last spell) on second attempt. Easy boss and all, but I'm still a bit surprised I got it so quickly. Perfecting the stage was nice too, even if the only hard part is Tewi.

IN Youmu scoring. PoDD on Chiyuri, I guess. HRtP is a bitch until you figure it out, and SoEW can be rahter much of a dick too. But I assume chum referred to PoDD.By the way, who else has timed that card out?
Lots of people, I guess. The dodging itself is harder than VoWG (at least in my opinion) and it can form 100% walls if you're unlucky (at least on ultra), but since there's spell practice and you can luckshit most of it, people seem to be able to do it rather easily.
Congratiulations. Your movements are rather intense.
-
So many youngsters these days. ::) Again, good job on timing SFN out BangJan. You should try Unseasonable Butterfly Storm next (or Mamizou's overdrive). That spell is also quite a lot of fun.

3 more no bombs extra runs today. God working night shift gives me too much time to play this since nobody I know is awake on the days I'm off.
SA (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25263)
UFO (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25264)
TD (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25265)
SA went pretty well considering while trying it I died 2x in a row on Danmaku Paranoia forcing me to reset based on pride. Also managed to capture Genetics finally. Successful run was perfect up to genetics, and also failed Philosophy and Subterranean rose :(.
UFO went extremely well considering I havent touched the extra stage in like 6 months . Only took about a dozen restarts. I was so close to perfecting Nue. I died on danmaku chimera, and double KO'd grudge bow. Wait what, I died on chimera? *Headdesk*
TD, meh, haven't played it really at all since I cleared it the first time. Perfect up to false Miko. Captured the survival even though it says bonus failed (I tranced half a second into the beginning after the last card, so I count it as a capture). 1 death to pompolkin.
Pretty good day. Only one for no bombs extra left on windows is IN, and I somehow forsee that being hard (points at rings of death and fujiyama volcano). Pretty surprised that I got 6/7 of these in 2 days without having really tried any before, but I guess I'm actually getting half decent at this.

It's been more than 4 years since I started this. Didn't have a clue how to beat Cirno's 'Minus K' back then.
Well, now, I'll have to go beat th12 Hard with any Marisa.
-
Well, now, I'll have to go beat th12 Hard with any Marisa.
Well you have 2 choices: 1 not super hard, 1 suicidal.
-
- I've cleared every whole-number Touhou game on Lunatic from EoSD to 10D. I might go for the first 5 but right now I'm going to take a little break.
- And what is the hardest of them all?
Awesome job, you have my respect man.
PoDD is hard but I'm recommending it specifically for its very manic gameplay. It doesn't have the 'problems' that are sometimes associated with Touhou games on... that website (slow bullets, patterns just for show, tiny bosses, availability of a gazillion lives...)
It's a very fun and underrated game, for sure.
-
congratulations to all those awesome achievments! a shame I have nothing to share. I've been stuck with the few bosses I was trying to NMNB, but i think I will crack some, soon.
also, when I was 12 I was playing outside with my friends in the mud. what the hell happened to today's younglings :V
-
also, when I was 12 I was playing outside with my friends in the mud. what the hell happened to today's younglings :V
In response to this, another question: how many people on here do you think are young enough to be playing outside like that?I for one didnt start playing touhou until I was almost 21, almost 3 years ago now. But I played my share of video games as a child in addition to sports of course.
-
I don't think anyone here is genuinely under 14 or something.
-
That silly PoFV challenge. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25274)
I thought it sounded like it would be fun to try, and it turned out to be a totally legit way to play the game.
-
This is not much of an achievement, but I managed to capture Guze Flash on Hard. I really can't deal with the speed, but I'm happy for at least capturing it once (and now I have all of Toyosatomimi's spellcards captured up to Hard).
-
I don't think anyone here is genuinely under 14 or something.
Why not? Ace was like 12 (though he hasn't been around recently). Bang Jan just said he was 13.
-
Ace is 14 now, and comparing the two makes me not take Bang Jan's claim of being 13 seriously.
-
Some people are more mature than others at similar ages... amazing.
-
Not really. There's a correlation between age and maturity, but you can't deduce one from the other; it depends on the individual. There are some people in their 20s or older who are less mature than some 14-year-olds.
(Also I'm -1113 like 21 or something)
-
Stradivarius timeout. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOfgl2bFvK4) Cool spell.
-
Ms hard clear! Hadn't tried this in quite a while but I ifugred with all the random stuff I've been doing might as well give it a shot.
(http://i49.tinypic.com/24pyxcy.png)
Perfect until stage 4 midboss. Can't believe I died to that but w/e. 1DNB Yuki/Mai. 3 deaths to Yumeko and 2 to shinki but like 5 bombs. Not going to try lunatic for a while though. I've seen lunatic Yumeko and she is not nice. Other than her and Shinki it probably wouldnt be TOO bad though.
-
Thanks Nindella! I was wondering what I could improve. I could have capped Vengeful Cannibal Spirit - it's pretty easy with Reimu B's piercing - but I was kind of on edge after a few really bad runs and was feeling pessimistic. The second nonspell cheese and BoWaP fairies I'll definitely look into practicing (though with BoWaP fairies you get 1 power back from bombing them so at higher power levels I won't hesitate to do so).
I watched from stg 4 on of your replay since I assume if you're getting to Utsuho yo probably dont have much if any problem with the first 3 stages. here's some stuff I noticed. Don't take me too seriously though, I've yet to reach Orin on lunatic in one credit.
Stage 4: What Nindela said
Stage 5: I would suggest trying to work on midboss Orin's nonspells. That wold save you 2 bombs, which you could use on catwalk, and compared to that replay you would gain 2 life fragments. For boss orin, I don't know personally the difficulty spike for her first card, but I never had trouble with it even on hard. I assume that was one of the "silly" deaths. I don't think you need to cheese orins second non though, you should either a) dodge the aimed bullets down instead of up or b) start a little lower to give yourself some more room. For ghost wheels, from watching the replay it doesn't look like the wheels count as reflectable bullets so you may want to try something like dodge 1 or 2 waves and then bomb, since the density will be higher after a few waves, resulting in more reflected damage.
Stage 6: Get the streaming down. I haven't played much with ReimuB but I assume the streaming portion can still be done pretty easily without the use of bombs. That also gives you more resources to pound blazing wheel with. Considering the way you dodged the last 4 or so waves of uncontrollable nuclear reaction, you probably dont need to bomb, and it doesn't look like it reflects that much damage anyway. The second non though, I might suggest cheesing, just for safety. Can't say much else except make sure when you get farther don't die on ten evil stars.
Also, forgive me for the double post, it didn't feel right to put this kind of long winded advice in with my other post.
-
Captured Scarlet Gensokyo on lunatic! :]
-
fire up the Touhou game of your choice, and play a pacifist Lunatic run until you run out of lives
I made it to the Stage 1 boss of GFW like this :o
-
NMNB Shou! She's easily in my top 5 Touhou boss fights, so I'm happy to get this done! It's too bad it didn't happen on stream, but oh well, you can't get everything.
Video here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ee-01gHDug) I even added annotations for this, Shou deserves as much recognition as possible.

Good job. ReimuB looks like a huge help. (if anything, only for Vajra)
-

Yeah. The main reason I switched from needles was actually Aura of Light, but Vajra is less problematic as well.
This run is extremely clean meaning the RNG was good all around, normally Shou is such a... jerk! :D
-
SA stuff:
Well, after watching a few videos, I can now do Orin's first card a little better. Now to figure out "Spleen Eater." Trying to get better so I can clear normal with someone else other than ReimuA. Also, I've gotten a method for her second non-spell, but still need to work on it.
Gotten a lot better at Yuugi, save for her midspell. (seriously fuck that card)
Captured Satori's "Border of Wave and Particle" (finally) and almost captured "Flying Insect's Nest."
Captured Utsuho's "Hell's Artificial Sun."
Getting better at EX Sanae. Still need to bomb, but not dying is the main goal.
Overall, getting there with SA.

Hah, nice. Do it all from the center if you haven't (and if you have - bonus points to you).
-
Awesome job, Shou is still a nightmare for me. What's next?
I'm surprised by that. Didn't you perfect Byakuren? She is the nightmare here.
Serious answer: Sakuya/Remi. Byakuren maybe in ten years if I improve at a decent pace.
But mostly GFW scoring. And PoFV without focus/charges as all characters, because that was oddly enjoyable...
-
I'm surprised by that. Didn't you perfect Byakuren? She is the nightmare here.
Ha.
Ha ha.
That's funny. I thought you said Byakuren was harder than Shou. Hilarious.Serious answer: Sakuya/Remi. Byakuren maybe in ten years if I improve at a decent pace.
Pretty good targets. I got close to Sakuya a while back and haven't even bothered with Remi, but you think Shou is easier so your skills are clearly different from mine. Good luck, in any case.

LNMNBNFNS Midboss Yuugi with ReimuC :V
-
Just beat th12 Hard with MarisaA. Finished with 3 spare lives left. 9 deaths, 26 bombs.
I was actually getting really worried if all I've done is a mere fluke or something. Or maybe it is another fluke.
All's fair in love and Master Spark.
The only Hard difficulty I haven't beaten yet is th12 MarisaB, and th09 Sakuya, Youmu, and Lyrica, excluding th08 FinalA or solo.
If I finish those, I can finally move on to beating th06 Extra Lunatic difficulties.
Ah, well. I guess I'll try beating th12 Hard with MarisaB.
I reached 'Magic Galaxy' twice, so I think I can beat it if I bomb more systematically.
-
Perfected Kasumi Shindou on Lunatic. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3rtTt3ErRI)
The more I play this game, the more I come to appreciate what an amazingly fun boss Kasumi is. Even by Marine Benefit standards she's woefully underrated.
-
LLS Lunatic 1cc!!!!!!!! Finally I beat one of the PC-98 gen games on lunatic. Pretty awful run by any standards, but I did clear it either way. Scored about 56 million, 3 deaths and a few bombs on Yuuka, including 2 bombs to her final attack because WTF. Did manage to have a bomb left in stock though, not sure how that happened :). I would have been much happier fighting Marisa had she not decided to point blank me with that spread attack when her orrieres are gone. Mind you I didnt have a bomb so I was screwed there. Other than that the only other place I got kinda screwed was after Yuuka's second phase, since I dispelled it in the middle of a "round" and got trapped (again with no bomb). This took much less time than expected though, seeing as it IS a lunatic after all.

The BDB timeout is on youtube! (http://youtu.be/5cFDPwUDKak)
-
Wow, seems like a few new faces have shown up here with awesome achievements to boot, congratulations to everyone!
Haven't done anything overly interesting myself since I've been somewhat busy, but finally finished clearing IN Easy Mode Final A and B with all teams and individual characters just now. Only PoFV left and I'll have all Easy Modes done and can move on to Normal, though I'm surprised I'm still not tired of IN.
-
1MNB Patchouli done in a full run with MarisaA. Choke was to Lava Cromlech.
D'AWWWWWWW
-
And to sum up the No Bombs MarisaA run:
Death to Cirno's first NS. (*)
Death to Midboss Meiling's Spellcard. (*)
Death to the books.
Death to Lava Cromlech.
Death to Sakuya's second NS. (*)
Death to Killing Doll.
Death to Eternal Meek.
Death to Eternal Meek. (*)
Death to Young Demon Lord. (*)
Deaths that should NOT have happened have a cute little star next to them. Sakuya's NS was a split second before ending. I capture YDL comfortably, and to make matters worse, it too was just before ending.
Some of these deaths are... unfathomable, inexcusable. I can't think of a fitting definition for the unspeakable death in Stage 3. The kind of performance I pulled was DESERVING of a Remilia fight with 5 lives, and that kind of scenario is pretty much impossible to screw up. And you know what sucks? In the attempt before this, I used continues, and I got a 1MNB Stage 5 and 2MNB Stage 6.
Good grief.
-
The last week has just been amazing. I 1cced SoEW with ReimuA, PoDD with Mima and Reimu, LLS with MarisaB, and MS with Yuuka, finishing off the three vertical shooters of the PC-98 era on Normal (as in 1cc with all shottypes) and getting my first Phantasmagoria game 1cc ever. Then I go on to 1cc CtC with MarisaC and D, 1cc PoFV for the first time with Lyrica of all people, and clear my first Extra Stage ever by doing MoF's Extra Stage with ReimuA. Granted, these 1ccs were on Normal, but I've only ever 1cced Hard twice (plus two non-1cc clears).
-
* Hard mode clear in EoSD, PCB and IN with Reimu;
* First Normal 1CC in TD, also it's my first 1CC using Marisa;
http://www.replays.gensokyo.org/download.php?id=25333
* And my first clear in one touhou pc-98 game, for a blind run it is not bad I think :)
I almost had a seizure with Shinki, sometimes it's so hard to see the bullets :V

Only PoFV left and I'll have all Easy Modes done and can move on to Normal, though I'm surprised I'm still not tired of IN.
I never bothered doing the solo runs becuse I knew I'd get bored. Kudos to you for not going completely insane doing this even on easy
-
^Yeah, I'm doing the same thing, but I already kind of got bored lol. My long term goal is clearing every game on every difficulties with every shot-type and capturing every spell on every difficulty with every shot-type. Because I'm a completionist like that.
If in IN there's 4 teams and 8 solo characters, those added together * 2 for both FinalA and FinalB = 24 full runs, and if each run takes 30 minutes that's 12 hours of IN greasy mode. And then I'll have to do it 3 more times for 3 more difficulties. Woohoo. Almost wish you didn't have the option of playing with solo characters in IN.
Not really. There's a correlation between age and maturity, but you can't deduce one from the other; it depends on the individual. There are some people in their 20s or older who are less mature than some 14-year-olds.
(Also I'm -1113 like 21 or something)
That was exactly my point, lol

Yeah, thats why I didn't do any solo runs in IN lol. My goal eventually is to complete every difficulty up to hard with all the shots since there are a few lunatics i KNOW I can't be bothered to do. Also I wanted to capture every spell on lunatic, but not with every shot. Oh yeah, and Omoikane's brain hard since its harder than lunatic to me. Also, to perfect every stage on lunatic and all the extras.
-
Eh... well, I no-missed PoDD Lunatic once again. (http://oi49.tinypic.com/24zc1fb.jpg)
With Reimu this time, a character who is probably less broken than Yumemi. Was also playing with a controller instead of the keyboard I've been using for the past 2 years, so... this was unexpected. I wasn't sure I'd even be able to win in the first place. Whatever! I guess I'll stop mentioning these here seeing it's starting to happen with some degree of frequency, though this one will probably end up on Youtube, seeing as I want to keep it.

So who's the one disappearing now? ;_; And yeah I dunno what's up with these guys nowadays. They just show up and start thrashing Lunatic and stuff.
-
I managed to No Focus IN Stage 3 Normal (http://youtu.be/KOK8CuhLDxg) without dying or bombing... And right afterwards I perfected EoSD Stage 4 Normal on my second try, but of course there's no recording since I never saw that coming. Darn.
-
You guys are insane. Congratiulations, as usual.
-
Oh, hey, Zil's already been around for two years? Time flies. Nice avatar btw
-
For me, nothing new. I put the PoFV-video into progressing and now am sitting and waiting for it to finish so I can start uploading it to Youtube. Feels dull if chum goes and does it on everything, but whatever. I upload videos for selfish reasons, after all.
-
I guess I could blog about IN extra a bit, I played it during last week having not anything serious in mind. But I'll finish writing these damn essays first.
-
Oh, and I decided to use IE 7 today. Some things look funny on it.
-
Just completed my fifth normal 1cc, this time TD. First try in over a week and only four deaths (and a lot of bombspam). I think I'm quite content with this.
It's weird encountering Nue in TD before UFO. :V
Here's hoping that the extra stage won't be a trainwreck like SA's. Given the extend requirements, I suspect it will come close.
-
And yeah I dunno what's up with these guys nowadays. They just show up and start thrashing Lunatic and stuff.
I just showed up and I'm still working on getting Hard 1ccs and Extra clears. :P
-
So who's the one disappearing now? ;_; And yeah I dunno what's up with these guys nowadays. They just show up and start thrashing Lunatic and stuff.
Haha, sorry, sorry, I'm back now! Definitely happy to see that you didn't forget about me, though, but let's see what all the youngsters here can do. At least we had to walk uphill both ways through the snow when we wanted 1CCs.
Oh, and congratulations on that clear!

Yep, took me a few train rides, various evenings where I squeezed in a run or two, but it's bearable. Certainly, 75% of my motivation stems from the fact that I'm a completionist, but I'm also eager to see what I can do with the more obscure shottypes and how they can handle parts that I deemed hard up until now. It's quite interesting actually, but I won't deny that the greatest reward to me is scrolling through the 12 teams/individual characters and seeing "Final A/B Clear" everywhere, haha. Well, at the very least it gives me a clear goal to strive for, looking forward to Normal and unlocking Extra in SA again, annoying bugs.

Keep going for it, though I can guarantee that just completing all spells with all shottypes takes some time, though I'm still only through Stage 2 so far.
-
Yeah I don't know what they put in the water these days but a lot of people just seem to get relatively competent pretty quickly.
I started in spring/summer of 2008 and didn't get my first Lunatic 1cc before Autumn of 2009. Yet, I see so many people reach up and do really cool accomplishments in less time than even that. I'm looking forward to seeing where some of you guy are going to be in a few years. Provided you stick with the community for that long.
I'm willing to bet that a more competitive and skilled community might have something to do with it but that's just a theory.
-
I had a NMNB Nue fight. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azFudIs8JAU)
Didn't exactly plan for it, just did a run and it sort of happened. I also capped all the ex-Kogasa spells but unfortunately I used a bomb at the section after.
I guess Nue is really easy after all.
I guess I'll stop mentioning these here seeing it's starting to happen with some degree of frequency,
Don't say that, I'm always impressed by your PoDD accomplishments :blush:

HELL FREAKINGIGGG YEAAAH!!!
NO-BOMB TOUHOU 11, SA LUNATIC WITH MARISA B!!! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25367)
HAHAHA, Reaching Utsuho AGAIN with 5 lives, and this time, NO stupid deaths on the 2nd non, damn friggin' straight there were non, craziest Subterranean Sun ever, I was seriously on edge thinking I could lose but HELL YEAH, I PULLED THROUGH!! :D
ReimuC and MarisaC to go now... oh boy I've left the best till last, hahahaha... hah.... :derp:
-
In just a little while perfecting the game is gonna be like stealing candy from a baby for you.
-
Wow, congrats with that no bomb clear!
As for me, today I did a perfect MoF stage 6 (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25368) out of nowhere, It was really crazy :o
I also did a perfect timeout of Mikoto's 3rd spell, yes, the crazy one with shit coming from all sides and green aimed bullets BV
I guess I'll upload these to youtube later today,
-
Yeah I don't know what they put in the water these days but a lot of people just seem to get relatively competent pretty quickly.
Eh, I've been here for over a year and I only have like a couple of Hard 1cc's under the belt.
I kinda just stopped playing for a few months.
-
I've only been around here 15 months and been playing for 20 and my first lunatic clear was 4 months in :V
I had hoped my completionism would kick in when all I had left was UFO but for some reason I seem complacent with a game over to Devil's Recitation. I really need to fix that but I'm too busy playing a bunch of TD and enjoying it.
-
Ha. Four months in and I was still struggling with Extra bosses. And now after 4.5 years I'm still shit but at least I've gotten past the best players in this community back then :V (only for a bunch of better ones to emerge in no time out of nowhere)
But hey, at least that means I get to spend more time with this awesome series to get shit done so it's usually not that bad to suck. :)
Go get that UFO Lunatic clear dude. You can definitely do it.
-
well, I asked Seiga how long it took him to perfect Eirin. > a week, he said.
he also jokingly (?) added it would take me 2 days at my pace :V I accepted the challenge and OH LOOK. IT TOOK ME TWO DAYS.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25372 I will upload the video later tonight. Still processing to resize and stuff.
also: I think I started out in 2008, maybe 2009 and didn't get my first lunatic 1cc before december 2011, so everyone saying they're slow needs to be punched :V
then again, I cleared every game on lunatic within 4 months, save for TD, which was said first. but yeah, I am probably the slowed guy to get going.
-
You got Eirin? That's pretty awesome. Nice job. Please make sure to upload the video. Who knows, it might even motivate me to do that sometime down the line.
-
I'm going to take a long break (some months) so please don't mind the blog.
I guess I'm a bit late when I started to play in January of this year. It took me 6 months to beat a Lunatic. I don't think I play that much. Maybe 3 to 4 hours a week, 10 at max. Now I only have UFO Lunatic left to clear, but I'm not one to grind stages, so I practically gave up at that. At least I can call myself not completely shit because of the EoSD LNB clears, but I'm still shit on the inside, gaming over on UFO stage practice and such. So, I have no goals nor the motivation to keep me going. It sure felt nice achieving goals, but only for a short period of time. Even now, I look back at my runs and notice they were nothing but sheer kusoplay.
I'm confused as to where I should go next. Maybe perfecting stages like everyone else? Only I do not have a very good attention span to Ctrl+R for hours. In fact, I would call most of my perfects as random urges to play, since they suck anyways. There are some really nice people here at MotK, and I like the community. But still, as a conclusion, I decided to stay away from Touhou for a while.
-
Here's something remotely interesting from me for a change: my first Lunatic beyond-Stage-3 spell card timeout (http://youtu.be/t4E84wBqYH4). Yay! It's Loving Heart "Double Spark", probably one of the easiest Lunatic spells found on Stage 4 or later, but I don't care, I feel happy anyway. Here's a replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25373) too.
Oh, and I managed to clear Mystic Square Normal with two extra lives and two bombs still in stock. Today was surprisingly good Touhou-wise.
-
Perfect lunatic Keine. Took me long enough to not fail her last spell.
-
well, I asked Seiga how long it took him to perfect Eirin. > a week, he said.

I believe he is referring to Byakuren, rather. And no, I am not doing byakuren.
Also, the video's up. IN - perfect stage 6A (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-CFhSIBm7w)
and another, little thing:
IN - Perfect Stage 3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VF6yk5DoFBY)
with this, all stage 3s from EoSD to TD have been perfected.

Yay! LLS Hard cleared! (http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdphhercno1rydc1ro2_1280.jpg)

To all those people who were wondering why new people show up and seem to be clearing Lunatics immediately: well, for me at least, I'd been reading the accomplishments thread for a while, and there were so many lunatics around that it didn't feel right for me to post while I was still getting first Normal 1ccs and so on. (Has anyone else noticed that my 3575 user number is lower than a lot of the people who have been active longer than I have? I registered over two years ago, mainly to keep track of unread posts while getting an idea of what this site was like.)
Of course, that doesn't explain how some people manage to reach Lunatic in 7/6/4 months after they first played.
-
Yeah, the time people take to improve is individual, as well the dedication for it. My first Lunatic 1cc was in August while I started sometime at late December from past year, but I have some friends who have been playing for almost two years and are still in Hard mode.

If you ask me, the issue is not time, but help. Back when I first joined, it was a big deal to reach a lunatic level of play, simply because there were not a lot of players and even less of a community to help each other reach that level. Like you said, you lurked the site for two years and got a good feel for the community and how to get good at Touhou. Back in 2008, that community simply did not exist. When I went for my first MS lunatic 1cc, I had to learn everything from scratch, because there was nobody who had done it yet. Now that a strong player community does exist, those who join are met with a warm reception and tons of helpful advice, while those who have been in the community before that developed are less likely to feel a drive to improve (after all, if they couldn't do it during their time of prime interest in Touhou, why would they be able to do it now?).
Well, that's just my opinion, but that's how I see it.

I had my first 2 lunatic clears before joining this forum :getdown: :getdown:
-
Oh, same here. I think I had mopped up two or three lunatic 1ccs before joining this site. But, I think a key difference is that when I said I had 1cc'd SoEW lunatic, I was called a liar. :derp:

I'm going to take a long break (some months) so please don't mind the blog.
I guess I'm a bit late when I started to play in January of this year. It took me 6 months to beat a Lunatic. I don't think I play that much. Maybe 3 to 4 hours a week, 10 at max. Now I only have UFO Lunatic left to clear, but I'm not one to grind stages, so I practically gave up at that. At least I can call myself not completely shit because of the EoSD LNB clears, but I'm still shit on the inside, gaming over on UFO stage practice and such. So, I have no goals nor the motivation to keep me going. It sure felt nice achieving goals, but only for a short period of time. Even now, I look back at my runs and notice they were nothing but sheer kusoplay.
I'm confused as to where I should go next. Maybe perfecting stages like everyone else? Only I do not have a very good attention span to Ctrl+R for hours. In fact, I would call most of my perfects as random urges to play, since they suck anyways. There are some really nice people here at MotK, and I like the community. But still, as a conclusion, I decided to stay away from Touhou for a while.
You go break various scores in this board and the other board.
Just searching "steven", "dxk", "denpa" in the uploader makes me cringe and afraid for what you're going to be able to do. And that's the only three nick you use that I know of. Who knows what other abomination you've made using other handle.

Exactly how I feel... except I'm worse at the game. :V
-
Of course, that doesn't explain how some people manage to reach Lunatic in 7/6/4 months after they first played.
If you're thinking about me I've been playing for about 4 years. I took a 2-year break from Touhou at one point though.
-
I got the idea 7 months for a lunatic clear was slow. Maybe I'm comparing to the wrong person, but I can't help it.
-
Hey, guys! I've been playing since April 2010 and I still haven't gotten Normal 1ccs on all the danmaku games, with no Hard 1ccs and no legit Lunatic 1ccs. I have managed to grind my way to exactly one legit EX clear. You all make me feel super slow! :getdown:
-
IN Lunatic no-focus 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25386) with solo Yukari. It didn't turn out that well, but I did get some unexpected no-focus captures (video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7f4AwKRFmvY)) when attempting it.
As for people who were unexpectedly fast, I'm pretty sure Nindella is one of them, and I know Zodiac/olAlolilo (someone who commented on my videos a lot in the past, now somewhat inactive) is another. I recall a few others in the accomplishments thread, but I can't remember who.
(@Coreven: 7 months from first play of a danmaku game to a Touhou Lunatic 1cc seems fast to me. It took me 4 months simply to get a Normal 1cc, and nearly another year to get a Lunatic 1cc not counting HRtP.)
-
Congratulations!
And yep, seven months is fast. Took me a little less than 2 years for my first Lunatic Clear, slightly more than 3 for my last one.
-
On April 5, 2010, I had never played a shooting game beyond basic arcade stuff like Space Invaders. By the next day, I 1cc'd IN Easy, then got it on Normal 10 days later. After another 10 days, I'd beat LLS, PoFV and EoSD on Normal, but didn't clear PCB Normal until about month after starting - and one week before getting IN on Hard.
At the end of June 2010, I dropped the game until November, at which point I got my first Extra, PCB. Dropped it again until the following April, which lasted 2 more months during which I got IN Extra, then off again until December. (And then I never ever stopped again). Further hard and extra clears didn't start following until this February.
So, I've been playing for 31 months now, with an active time of... 18 months. And still no Lunatics, closest was top of Stage 6, IN. SoEW, PoDD, MS, SA and UFO are still missing Hard as well.
But that's okay, I'm not in any rush to get so good that I start finding large chunks of the games boring. As long as I get there eventually. Honestly if I sat down and practiced I bet I could get IN Lunatic... but I don't want to make it a chore, it'll come when it comes.
(P.S. I HAVE LOTS OF DATA, CAN YOU TELL? :V)

[attach=1]
Note: Seiga as a character is awful. Her fight is ok at best, her Overdrive is really fun, except when it decides to be cheap and wall. Which is very frequently.
-
I sure hope that those records are the result of numerous timeouts.
-
Hm I think I first found Touhou in 2008, got my first Normal clear a bit later, stopped playing in 2009 after Normal clearing most games, then started again in like May of 2012, cleared all Hards by late June, cleared my first Lunatic in early July, and cleared UFO in late August after stopping for a few weeks to clear a few Extras. So I guess I've technically played for 4 years or so, but I only started seriously playing this past year, needing about 4 months to clear all Hards/Lunatics/Extras. May sound fast, but I had the advantage of doing this all in the summer, plus I posted extensively in the spell card help thread, so I think I had more time per week to play than people in school, despite having a part-time job.
I think the issue isn't necessarily a matter of speed/help, but of background. I personally have been gaming competitively for quite a while, and played stuff like Starcraft Brood War (not SC2 so we're clear on that ;)), osu, LoL, DotA, and the like (plus a bunch of fairly tough [at least from my perspective] single player games like Trauma Center, Super Meat Boy, Mega Man Zero, etc), so I think I've had a pretty strong background in terms of gaming dexterity and whatnot. From my perspective, a relatively quick run through the Hards/Lunatics after getting the basics down isn't that terribly impressive. If anyone here has a very light gaming/dexterity background, and then managed to grab the quick Lunatic 1ccs on top of that... Well.. Hats off to you, because that's absolutely incredible.
Also, a definite congrats to everyone posting for the incredible stuff you have been pulling off. Too many pages to go through, but big congrats to Malky for the VoWG timeout, Nindella for once again crapping on SA, and Sakurei and Seiga for your perfects. You guys are absolute beasts!
-
After 11 months of playing with varied intensity (a whole lot from January to May, quite a bit less later on), a Hard IN clear is still my best, although I feel like I could do better now. It's really too bad there are so few Normal or Hard Mode players participating in Help Me, Eirin! discussions. It's easy to feel somewhat alienated with so many Lunatics around.
-
yeah, most of us play on lunatic, but that doesn't mean we cannot provide help for normal or hard. all of us have gone through, so we know what to do and how to do it. for the most part, anyway. there are still things I never capped on hard :V but yeah, I believe some people here are at a level where they can provide some crazy help, if you asked. there's nothing bad about not playing lunatic. it's just steps away.
then again, who am I to talk :V I still cannot clear the games on lunatic consistently. my last 1cc ended in 0/0 :'D yeah, my attention span is pretty horrible. that's why miko's a pain to perfect for me. also micro-tapping bullshit nons :V just saying. expect me to crack her this week.
-
Well seeing as we're reflecting on our progress, I think it took me like 6 or 7 months to 1cc every touhou shmup on lunatic barring UFO.
The PoDD 1cc was actually the reason I joined as that was something completely unbelievable at that time. Before that though I lurked a lot and kept to myself making individual progress.
I had like an entire summer's vacation when I first started playing and I had more fun playing these games than I ever had while playing a videogame. So my motivation was high and I very much looked up to great players of the time like Kefit and Naut and I very much wanted to reach their skill level.
How fast I improved might be worth thanks to me playing PoFV and StB early as they teach you raw dodging and advanced tactics respectively. Lurking the community and looking at stuff like Kefit's EoSD lunatic Let's Play (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3kov6_let-s-play-eosd-stage-one_videogames) and other such stuff (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRhg81Xv5Is&feature=plcp) really helped too. EoSD lunatic was pretty much figured out before me and I only had to follow the routes. And of course I always played way above my current skill level.
Oh man memories.
-
Hmm, my first touch into Touhou was probably during 2009, or something relatively close to that, when I came across some Touhou threads on 4chan. I spent about a year wherein I only read doujinshi and barely touched the games. I first got into playing the stuff around ... late 2010. Via our school's computer class. Spent quite a while just clearing the games on Normal. Got into scoring as I saw couple of posts from Dodgeball on a finnish Touhou forum, registered here and visited some IRC-channels for the first time during 2011. Since that, I've been slowly doing some unoptimal stuff, focusing on easymode playing. I still have only a few actually notable clears, all within IN easy. You could say I've spent all these hours getting mediocre on easymode. And I'm not complaining. (I am scared of lots of people, though. You guys are going ways beyond me within a few months and it always feels very threatening, knowing that I could be leapfrogged on whatever I'm currently doing any moment)
You can be slow, kids, but I'm the turtle of the house.
-
there's nothing bad about not playing lunatic. it's just steps away.
Indeed. The road from total beginner to Lunatic player is a short one compared to the road from being Lunatic to actually being good. So no reason to worry about not being Lunatic yet. Being Normal or Hard mode player is not that far away from the rest of us.
-
Pretty sure I did this rant not too long ago, but if everyone else is reminiscing...
I entered the Touhou playing community around the end of 2010, just before winter break from school that year. Prior to that I had spent a lot of time watching videos on the game, fascinated by the skill of those who were clearing lunatic. At that point I had no thought that I could ever do anything like that. So I started playing and showed a few of my friends, who were like "how the hell can you even tell what's going on?" while I was failing miserably at IN normal, EoSD normal, PCB, normal, etc. Took probably a few weeksto finally get a clear of IN normal. from there I got a few more normal 1ccs, then had a good day and cleared IN hard with 0/0 iirc. I got a few of the easier hards, and then kinda hit a brick wall. I was mostly just messing around until the beginning of May this year and had a miracle week where I cleared SA and UFO hard within like 2 days. A few days after school ended, I had a loltastic run on IN lunatic that reached Kaguya and I had no idea how the fuck I managed it since I had not practiced IN at all. Then like 3 days later my laptop finally died for good and I didn't play again until I got my new computer after moving for work, end of July. Then a couple months ago I had that crazy week (see various past success forum posts) where I had first lunatic 1ccs of IN, PCB and TD. Didn't really do anything else of note until a couple days ago when I cleared LLS lunatic.
So yeah, 7 months is fast. It took me about 18 months to clear IN lunatic and I think that was a 0/1 clear or something. Though i did have long periods of time where I didn't play, my active play time was probably upwards of a year. At this point I consider myself probably somewhat below average i overall skill, and probably won't go much higher than average. But that depends on how much I play I guess...
-
I started playing touhou about 5-6 months ago. I started with SA, cause apparently I'm crazy. I'm perfectly happy clearing normal. I plan on working on UFO, and hopefully clearing it, during Thanksgiving break.
The best I've done on any hard is SA. Got to Satori's first non-spell during a single coin. Then I failed horribly :V
-
Well this subject's come up again, it seems. Reflecting on stuff... I guess I started playing in January last year. Took something between 6 or 8 months to get a Lunatic clear, and had ~all of them~ sometime before December, I think. Then a 90fps clear in SA, followed by doing the same in a few other games, and becoming obsessed with PoDD. Then midway through 2012 I kind of ragequit or something and now PoDD and PoFV are pretty much all I play, with some random scoring attempts in Extra stages, apparently. So it hasn't actually been 2 years yet. Time has certainly passed quickly though, yeah.
Don't say that, I'm always impressed by your PoDD accomplishments :blush:
Okay. It's all I'm doing anyway so I wouldn't have much else to talk about. I-It's not like I did it because you asked me to or anything! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XY3sRci8xIg) :blush:
-
Alright. My first contact with the Touhou franchise was through lewd doujinshi around three years ago. I found out about the games half a year later, didn't play them, just lurked around boards. I started playing in February 2012, quite infrequently until late June, when I could finally get past stage 2 comfortably. Got my first 1cc in late August. Cleared Extra a few days later. Haven't done anything since.
I wonder how it's so much easier to notice errors after one has posted, even after proofreading the preview.
-
Gosh I've been playing for over 2.5 years now with an average of 0.75 hours EVERY day!!! So it is quite a bit of playing. I just wanted to clear MoF extra when I started playing, and I've done that now :toot:

COOL STORY BRO INCOMING
Okay, I first touched Touhou in July 2011, when I was from a Pok?mon Glitching forum, and there was someone who played the series actively, and later some friend of that forum's administrator made a "sister forum", focused on anime and games like Touhou. And there was some Touhoumon stuff there as well. But later while I was on their chat, the admin posted a vid for Miracle Hinacle, which I really liked, and a few Touhou PVs from that channel. Then decided to get the games, and got UFO because it was one of the latest or something. But I sucked horribly at it, and after a few attempts I just buried it because it didn't only lag on my old laptop, but I also thought it was too hard for me.
Months later, at December 2011, I found it again somewhere in my HD, played a bit, still sucked but decided to grab the other games since someone said it was because UFO was the hardest one. Then I got EoSD, didn't like it because of its horrible textures and other stuff I don't remember, and got TD and quite enjoyed it, making this crappy replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25316) that shows the horrible player I was back then. I've been slowly playing on Normal (I skipped Easy and still don't have a single 1cc in it), and there was a friend who'd also got recently into Touhou and was getting lots of Normal clears, and not wanting to be left behind, I worked a bit harder on then (iirc playing ~2 hours of it within 2 days), and got my first Normal 1cc, at PCB with Sakuya-A. I don't need to mention how bad it is under my current eyes, but it still meant a lot for me. I don't remember what was my second 1cc, it was EoSD or IN, but whatever . In March I put some effort on MoF Extra, and got my first Extra clear there, which also made me happy. At sometime in April my slow laptop broke (the one that couldn't run SA and above nicely) and I had to stay temporarily on a very slow one that could only run PCB decently with all effects at lowest. So I worked a lot at it, clearing its Extra, Phantasm, and eventually Hard, all in April. As well doing some challenges, like no-focus Extra and stuff, and meanwhile clearing some Extras at my bro's PC, like UFO and SA (which made me even more happy than the Perfect one I got recently). At June I kept working on Hards, and got EoSD Hard on that slow lappy in which the replay got ~5% slowdown, and got IN Hard with Scarlet team at my bro's PC. July was a very slow months, though exactly at the day of my birthday (July 21) I managed to get a NMNB run at PCB Extra, but one unfortunate border break at Izuna Gongen. At August I got my first Lunatic, also in PCB, and it meant a lot for me as well. Then I've been slowly getting other Lunatics, and have done it in PCB and EoSD with two shot types, while currently with only one in IN and SA. But after the SA Lunatic 1cc the game kinda isn't the same, because there isn't much left anymore, and the 1ccs that I haven't done yet are boring (MoF, TD) and too hard (UFO). And scoring has been shown very frustrating, because just having the idea of scoring already cuts away 1/3 of my skill. And there aren't many cool challenges to do, as unlike Seiga/Saku/etc I don't really like perfecting stages too much... That's pretty much it, my anniversary of active playthrough is coming soon (as I don't really consider the first touch in July since I played like 3 or 4 times and at wrong FPS), and I might retire next month. But I really enjoyed this game, and even if I retire, I won't abandon it. I'll just play it much more casually, like clearing Extras over and over again with a long interval between them. And might possibly come back to it later.... Touhou was very special to me, because I enjoyed it a lot despite not like shmups at all. Idk if it was because of the lolis, the musics, or both. I tried playing Dodonpachi and found it boring as hell. But yeah, even if I stop completely, it'll stay in my heart.
tl;dr

I started playing Bullet hell games 9 months ago when I played Marine Benefit on easy, I sucked at it but it was still fun. It wasn't until 5-6 months ago when I started playing the official games.
Also, Magical Singular Day Stage 5 Apocalypse mode + TLB (http://youtu.be/iVIQp645N-U?hd=1)

Did a no vertical clear of EX-8 in DS along with a sub 7000 low scoring attempt, also managed to survive 80 seconds in EX-5 no focus no photo out of nowhere.

IN easy is still great. I still like it. IN has nice music, neat shots, good endings
, fancy final boss. Lots of things.
I'll edit something longer into this later. Now, I'll take a walk and buy some groceries (and alcohol). Maybe border team or magic team later.

Ooh, telling stories? That's always fun
to stroke my ego.
Well, I got my start at the end of 2007, chronicling my hilarious misadventures on the forums of GameFAQs. Despite feeling completely overwhelmed by the game, I had my first EoSD normal 1cc in about two weeks. I was having fun with EoSD, PCB, and IN (MoF was too resource-intensive to run on my chug-a-lug of a computer back then), but it wasn't until I tried for my first extra that I got really hooked. A two week extravaganza over Winter Break ended with Ran's defeat and Touhou totally stealing my heart. The next several months were me gradually improving my skillz while receiving occasional help from the local lunatics like Kefit and SageAcrin. I got my first hard 1cc within four months (IN, with Reimu solo, though it was with max lives), and my first lunatic within six (LLS, also max lives).
After going on this way for some time, I started browsing the Internet to find out where this community I had heard the big players hung out was. I made a couple guest posts, then was urged to register if I was going to post so much. I did so to make them be quiet, and from November of 2008, I had a new home. That was (coincidentally or no) the time when my skills really got a kick, and I started clearing lunatics left and right, on default lives this time. By March of 2009 I had all the Windows lunatics available at the time 1cc'd, and from then on I was determined to make every challenge in Touhou mine to defeat. Between that and UFO's release, my biggest accomplishment was being among the first to 1cc PoDD lunatic - when I posted a screenshot as proof, at least one person posted that they had thought it was literally impossible before then. :V I then made history (in a rather infamous way) by 1ccing UFO lunatic within a month of its release, and on my first serious try at lunatic after a month of practice mode. This was kinda a black mark on my Touhou career though - the replay site called me a faker because it was SO OBVIOUS I had TAS'd the run, and the stink I made about it caused me to almost get banned (they're still wrong, by the way - ^-).
Thankfully, everything ended up blowing over with lessons learned on both sides, and I resumed my ways. Shortly before that incident, I had become the first person in the Western Touhou Community to 1cc every Touhou game on lunatic (including the decimals) with a Meiling lunatic 1cc of Soku, and slowly, ever so slowly, my skills increased to the point where I could start perfecting bosses on lunatic. I had never seriously considered it as a goal, since it was so ridiculous and so many difficult bosses existed. But as the months and years went by, the list of bosses remaining got smaller and smaller. By autumn of 2011, there were only ten left. After a few months of grit, tears, and melodramatic epiphanies, I finally got my final perfect of Byakuren, and achieved my ultimate goal. Every boss in the series, perfected, from HRTP to 10D (for various reasons, I choose not to count Fairy Wars, and most of those reasons are "no practice mode").
From there? I...kinda hit a slump. Various problems in real life caused me to completely lose my drive; achieving my ultimate Touhou goal kinda made me feel like I hit a ceiling. The only major achievements I can think of have been a complete perfect of Eirin with last spell included, and a full stage perfect of MoF stage 4. Even though I'm getting over my slump, I still have no desire to climb higher than I've already done. But that no longer matters to me. Being in this community for the past five years has been the greatest pleasure of my life, and I continue to grin as I see more players climb higher and faster than ever before. :D
-
I sure hope that those records are the result of numerous timeouts.
no, that record is from a 1/281 first capture over a year ago :V
I'm reasonably happy with 18/319 seeing as there were at least 4 double KOs.
-
I just realized I have been posting here pretty actively for a few months now, but I've been playing for almost 2 years. I've never actually introduced myself or anything. So, a little background.
I started out somewhere in the beginning of December 2010 with EoSD. That was my first shmup since my childhood and I certainly did not play those games "seriously" back then. I 1cc'd normal within a day or two, not sure (with more starting lives) since I wanted extra unlocked, I got obsessed with having to beat the extra stage which took much longer, about a week I think.
Two months later and I almost had a NMNB Flandre, with a death only on QED.
I 1cc'd PCB, IN and MoF in 2010 as well I think, and I also 1cc'd IN's Hard mode (I think this was with max lives as well...) and I got obsessed with IN's extra stage which I played every day and learned how to do most of the spells consistently.
After this, I slacked a lot. SA I think I may have 1cc'd in February 2011 or so, UFO took over half a year because I didn't like it at first so I never played it... My first two lunatic 1cc's were PCB and EoSD and I did those sometime around the summer of 2011. Throughout the rest of the year, I was pretty casual about playing. Didn't spend very much time on Touhou. I tried doing a few score runs here and there, PCB Normal, EoSD Normal and Hard, but most notably EoSD Extra which I actually put some effort into, and that's the run where I believe I got my first "perfect" Flandre fight (including grazings inside of her second spell, risky stuff) I also played StB on and off which I think I didn't beat all scenes in until early 2012.
I then slacked big time until mid-2012 or so. This is partly because it took me a long time to find a way to make my terrible keyboard usable, also because I'd rather spend my time on speed running, and a little bit because I was playing arcade shmups. I've done some cool stuffs in the last half-year or so, most notably I think is the GFW A2 Hard run. A2 Lunatic will have to be at least 90 million probably for me to consider it somewhat notable. Of course it all pales in comparison to WRs.
So I'm certainly not one of those new players. Time sure flies. My opinion on some of these games have gone from "awesome" to "meh" (IN, SA) but others have gone from "meh" to "awesome" (UFO, PoFV).
For me, It's definitely easier to put effort into something if it feels like it's something that someone, anyone besides myself may care about. So if there wasn't a community that cared about Touhou gameplay, I probably would've just kept slacking off, like I've been doing with the arcade shmups. Knowing that I'm not the only one that may consider [x achievement] cool helps me put in some extra effort. I'm very lazy on my own.
So yeah, never stop being an awesome gameplay-centric community!

Well, I got my start at the end of 2007, chronicling my hilarious misadventures on the forums of GameFAQs.
only losers post there
I was checking random links in a VGM thread a little over a year ago when somebody I can't even remember posted Doll Judgment. Thought it was surprisingly good, checked out the related videos for more music, soon I was listening to extended touhou BGM whenever I was on the Internet. Started playing EoSD on 11/11/11. Got my easy 1cc in about a day, normal in about a week, then I gradually moved on to the other Windows games. First hard 1cc was IN in early January, lunatic was also IN in late March. After getting a few more lunatic 1ccs, I tried perfecting some easy stage 2s and 3s until PCB Stage 5 gripped me for some reason. Once I pulled that one off in about a week, there was no stopping me, and then reimu marisa eirin kanako etc, etc, byakuren. Now I'm kinda in a dead zone, I don't feel much like playing, but no doubt I'll return soon enough.
-
I'm pretty sure nintendonut (and others) are right about how useful a community is. At least for me, having various people telling and showing that this game isn't rocket science really helped me thinking "hey, I can do this too".
Well, as a relatively new player, I don't have much of a background, but here is a bit of coolstorybro regardless.
I think I first saw a Touhou game maybe six or seven years ago, a friend who was playing something similar which made me think "how on earth is he doing this ?". Then I kind of forgot about it.
I started playing in April (2012), and it took me about two weeks to get IN 1cc on Easy. I had never played any video game which required any focus, practice or "skill" (at most a bit of PvP in some MMOs), so I'm quite surprised I didn't throw this game away immediately :V
I didn't play much during around 2 months (because work), only getting a few Normal 1cc's with max lives. July-August was quite productive, with every game 1cc'd on Normal, half of the Extra stages and PCB Hard, even though I still didn't play that much.
So yeah, here I am, trying to get the two remaining Hard 1cc's and Extra stages, 7 months after starting to play. I guess it's not that bad of a performance, seeing how I've always sucked at video games as a whole. Lunatic still feels out of my reach for now, but I'll get there eventually.
More on topic : got "no-miss-1-bomb" runs of TD Hard stages 2, 3 and 4. Figuring out trance routes is surprisingly fun to do.
-
In mid-2010 I made a list of video game genres that I hadn't tried.
From that list, I picked shmups.
Worst decision of my life.

I got bored and caught Reisen's second spell on easy... with no vertical movement! :getdown:

Just got a 6/1 1cc of MB on Normal with ReimuA.
Guess ending exam helps in Touhou.
-
Ah, stories.
The first time I knew Touhou and the games was in 2007 Summer.
Cleared th08 Easy with max lives with slow mode on, and I thought I was good. (What a stupid person I was back then)
Then I managed to beat th07 and th08 Easy mode with proper lives around 2008.
Actually didn't improve too much until I got my own laptop at the start of 2009.
Cleared th06, th07, th08, th10 Normal around that time and beat th07 Phantasm around the end of the year.
Cleared th08, th10, th11, th12 Extra and th06, th07, th08, th10 Hard and th128 Extra and Lunatic around 2010.
Also stopped lurking around for 2 years and joined here in August 2010.
Cleared th125 and th11,th12,th13 Hard and th13 Extra in 2011.
Cleared th10 Lunatic at March, th07 Lunatic at October and th095 this month.
Long story short, I've played Touhou for 5 years, 4 months and still haven't cleared th06 Extra.
What I actually wanted to say was that I cleared every Hard mode with every character today.(Except th08 FinalA and th08 solo, and the PC-98 games)
Some rantings :
th12 MarisaB is a horrible shot type. It has a horrible bomb with horrible damage and even more horrible duration.
Her shot damage also is subpar compared to other shot types.
Seriously, you can't wipe out 2 waves of Shou's first spellcard with this bomb. That's how horrible it is.(the duration)
th09 Sakuya is a very stupid shot type to use in th09 single player.
Her stupid Field and her stupid ability can't even protect her properly and activates unwanted spirits, which sits still so they're not readily shootable.
Slamming into unactivated spirits, being backstabbed by ringed red bullets, and running into fairies trying to outsmart ringed red bullets, they are simply the pinnacle of unelegance.
Between th08 Sakuya and th09 Sakuya, there are reasons why she doesn't appear in later games.
Well, looks like I said some stuff in the wrong thread.
So, having cleared every Hard mode with every character, what should I do next?
-
So, having cleared every Hard mode with every character, what should I do next?
Lunatic mode obviously. Go for it!
-
I got bored and caught Reisen's second spell on easy... with no vertical movement! :getdown:
I did Reisen's first spell on normal with no vert during that week of no vert alice for the tournament.
-
Lunatic mode obviously. Go for it!
Didn't you say the same exact thing to me when I asked that question? Oh wait, that's the ONLY LOGICAL ANSWER :P
Also holy shit I'm stupid and didn't edit this into my last post, so OMG I SOWWY FOR THE DOUBLE POST *cries*
-
I'm bad at telling stories so basically:
Found out Touhou from youtube by looking at stuff like Kaguya's theme, found out it was a game and I found GIL's EoSD Lunatic stage 6 video where he 1MNB's it, thought to myself that I want to do that too.
-> Downloaded EoSD, took me forever to clear normal but then quickly got lunatic and extra down soon after.
Went to 1CC all of the lunatic games and extras in order, skipping all other difficulties, then went to 1CC all of the lunatic difficulties again, now with no bombs, NMNBing the extra stages.
And here I am after two years.
-
Oh, some actual accomplishment for me !
TD Hard 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25415)
Well, it didn't take too long. I went all the way from Spell Practice -> Stage Practice -> Full runs, and everything was pretty smooth.
Entered stage 6 with 3 spare lives, so I bombtranced Miko quite a lot just to be sure.
Only UFO left for Hard clears...the horror :o
-
Long time no see!
I guess this is a combined success reporting and question:
Lately, I seem to be having some increased success using Marisa C in Mountain of Faith. These are just my own amateur observations, so do correct me where I'm wrong here, but it seems to me that:
1. The "Cold Inferno" in focus mode isn't that much of a perpetual shotgun, although it will shave a second or two off of some spellcards, but
2. It really comes in handy for those times when enemies appear over the left and right. Also,
3. I could be imagining this but it seems as though moving in focus is considerably slower than with other shot types.
Overall it seems pretty balanced, or at least a lot of fun to use. Why do I not see more Marisa C runs for Mountain of Faith?
-

because it's broken if you get 3 of the frostthrowers hitting, let alone 4 (quite possible on Kanako easily) and it makes the stages more boring than with ReimuB. With 2 frostthrowers it's marginally faster than ReimuB, the next best alternative. My friend used MarisaC for his MoF lunatic clear, I've done it with all but MarisaA and MarisaC was the derpiest run of the bunch due to hitbox/movement speed, which is probably the main reason.
-
Wait, I thought it was Marisa B that was broken?
-
Wait, I thought it was Marisa B that was broken?
MarisaB is the one that's completely broken. MarisaC is relatively broken (end VoWG before the hard part yep).
-
MarisaB is the one that's completely broken. MarisaC is relatively broken (end VoWG before the hard part yep).
So, 1.5 of Marisa's three shot types are broken.
Dang. I was having fun using C, too.
-
That doesn't make it broken.
-
C is not utterly broken, just probably easiest to clear with without using a glitch. Depending on who you ask they'll see broken or effective, I'll just say relatively broken since its max potential speed is miles above everything else but it's not enough to instantly capture everything. Also, 2 frostthrowers is good damage around ReimuB, 3 is the most you're likely to get and even then you still have to dodge everything.
-
Right, and I agree, but that isn't broken. Broken means game-breaking, which is what Mari-b's power glitch does. You can't put Mari-c in the same league. That is: there isn't such a thing as "relatively broken". It's broken or it isn't.
Calling Mari-c broken in MoF would be like calling Reimu-Yukari broken in SA because you can gap, and therefore trivialize, parts of stage five.
-
Only UFO left for Hard clears...the horror :o
I 1cc'd UFO hard after clearing every other windows game on lunatic :V except for UFO itself, of course. have fun :'D
now, I'm not helping you, am I? well, good luck.
now something of my own. why the fuck does Miko have so many spellcards? 7 is just...ugh. my concentration doesn't hold up for that long. I still perfected her :V possibly the easiest stage 6 in the windows series.
Ten Desires - Perfect Stage 6 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRmugkir23M)
took me longer than it should have, though. I plan to add annotations from now on (Not now, however. it's 2.30 am and I have to wak up early. will also do for older videos when I have the time), mainly because I had so much going on in my head when I was dying to pixel perfection bullshit-nons, talking about the 2nd, and to a lesser extent the 3rd, if you're wondering.
Also, MarisaC is "broken" in the sense that she makes a lot of things easier than they ever should be. not that she kills every spell in 5 seconds :V She's just very effective if you want to clear the game, also probably useful for cool challenges. She looks hard to use to me, however. Plus it's marisa, so I auto-not play her.
and I noticed aside from saying that I am really freaking old, especially compared to most people here, I said nothing about how I started touhou and stuff. so HERE'S MY COOLSTORYBRO STORY
I started in summer 2009. easy to remember because I just finished middle school. a pal over the internet mentioned that theres this super hard video game series and I was like "watch me be pro in 4 weeks". we all know it didn't work out, for little did I know how horrible I actually was (am) at video games. I started with EoSD easy, got myself every game until MoF. it was a horrendous deathfest and I couldn't do shit. took me like 3 month to get the games on easy. it was around then when I got myself SA and UFO, by the way. I started playing normal, and god, I was bad. took me 7 months or so to get all my normal clears. I wasn't part of any community back then and I figured everything out on my own. might be an excuse for taking forever. might not be. Nindella is doing SA no bomb runs in the time it took me to clear the games on normal; just to give you an idea.
and then it began. I started playing on hard. took me 2 years to graduate from it. I cleared EoSD hard pretty fast, and somehow felt like not playing. this break ate up 4 months or so. After starting again, I sucked so hard, it hurt. I gave hard difficulty the middle finger somewhere around april/may this year. by that time, I cleared all games on hard, except for UFO. I had my first lunatic 1cc already (with TD), but it took me forever to get my 2nd. only in end-june did I managed to 1cc MoF on lunatic, SA followed 2 weeks after. PCB, EoSD and IN fell quickly as well. leaving me with UFO on hard and lunatic
admittedly, the hard clear came fast. I never bothered to try, that was all at one point, so there's that. But still couldn't do UFO lunatic. as you all know, I only cleared that game last month
I registered to my first touhou community in december 2010. everyone was just as horrible as I was, so there was barely any competent help :V I think I joined in january 2012 here, but only became active during the time I did my lunatic 1ccs.
looking back, I think most of my progress was made in the last 3 months or so. I never improved at a faster pace, which is hilarious, because I am a freaking slow starter then :'D so yeah. so everyone saying they're slow with these 1ccs, remember: Sakurei needed ~28 months to get his first lunatic 1cc. almost 2 1/2 years. and it took him 34 months to get his second. I am so good at these games.
-
Finally got Magic Team Hard clear on IN. It's only my second try ever with them, but I've been putting it off because I hate using them so much. I figured "eh, by now it'll be trivial, I practice IN Hard basically every day." But good lord, Magic Team is like playing an entire difficulty level higher, they're awful at almost everything, except the few things where they're super overpowered (x in a Pot, Astronomical Entombing). I barely made it through alive.
Edit: played a full Border game to make sure I wasn't overstating things, and nope, I finished that game with 3 extra lives + 3 bombs, compared to 1 + 0 with Magic.
-
Captured Koishi's "Super-ego" and "Youkai's Polygraph" and almost captured "Embers of Love." Might have actually captured it if I had any power.
However, "Rorschach in Danmaku" can go die in a hole.
-
Yeah, MarisaC isn't broken. She has advantages in some places and disadvantages in others, and ZUN clearly intended that you put the frost throwers right in front of the boss. It's not like you're exploiting some oversight. Feel free to keep using her.
As for why you don't see her being used more often, it's probably just the general dislike of Marisa's speed and hitbox and all that. And maybe the need for some extra planning makes it less approachable. No idea about the focused speed being abnormally slow. I never noticed it, if it's true.

Oh nice. I'd like to do that as well, but I'm afraid of a few last words (especially Fantasy Hell) and some cards from 6B because Kaguya is kinda evil. :V
I may do TD as well soon.
-

whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
Fantasy Heaven is not that scary once you learn a path. Alice's Last Word is pure evil though, and Yukari's can be a bit of a pain. Aside from that, only Hourai Elixir was really a problem with them. Then again I had 200 done when I decided to get them to 222 and mop up the 22 cards I did with other shots :V

I probably forgot the path by now, and I Malice Canonned Alice's. :V Yukari's is pure memorization, I already caught it with every team/solo, and NF with Yuyuko. And first caught Hourai Elixir with Youmu solo, but it wasn't very legit because I used the translucent-half-yuurei patch, so I redid with Scarlet team, and somehow caught it at first try :getdown:, while apparently dodging the green bullets "incorrectly" as it's much easier to dodge from the corner, and not tackling from the middle like I did. I also hate Blazing Star really bad, even though it also has a route like Fantasy Hell.
-
PoFV without focus and spells is coming along well so far. 1cc'd with these characters (in order): Reimu, Youmu, Medicine, Sakuya, Tewi.
All characters is definitely within reach.
...Adding Mystia and Cirno to the list. Half the characters done! The Mystia run was great, winning against Shikieiki third round against all odds. My heart was beating so fast.
-
Regarding MoF MarisaC, yes, she's powerful, but she also takes more practice to use, especially on stage portions due to the somewhat short range of those frostthrowers. I'd place MoF MarisaC in a similar category as PCB SakuyaB and TD Youmu: harder to use than your generic Reimu shot (and lacking Reimu-hitbox), but has notable advantages despite that.
As for her focused speed seeming slower, I'd attribute that to the way keeping her options in one place discourages unfocusing.
-
And PoFV Easy cleared with all characters, second time actually with all minus Reimu, Komachi and Eiki, but I didn't save the replays back then, and I want them for my archive.
Anyway, that's all Easy Modes cleared with all characters/teams/whatever is available in all games except for 7.5, 10.5 and 12.3. it was bit of a mindless grind at times, but still fun, though PoFV is definitely the best game here, Eiki still has the most intense final battles and the randomness keeps things fresh anyway.
Anyway, time for Normal!
-
I think the planning required to use MarisaC efficiently makes up for the supreme awesomeness. Much like how ReimuC works in SA.
Anyway, I did 3-6, 5-4 and SP-8 no vertical with Aya, and 8-4 no vertical with Hatate :V I had no idea 3-6 and 8-4 were possible!!

90FPS 1cc of Touhou 11 Lunatic, Subterranean Animism with ReimuC!! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25426)
Err, yeah... BOOOOOOMMMMBBBBBBB EVERYTTTHIIINNGGG!!!!! :getdown:
Man, I even failed her satori safespot and died!! So BOMB!!!
Sadly enough, I thought this would be good practice for the ReimuC No-Bomb... hahahahaha... yeaaah maybe not :derp:
-
I'm not nearly as surprised as I should be. :V
Just wondering, but do you play any of the other games these days?

-

Haha, outside of the SA things I mess about with No-Focus EoSD, and clearing more shots on IN and TD, but they're all not very high priority at the moment and sorta relax-time things. :ohdear:
Yeah...I said in Riz's chat today we should get you going on that...now do it with Marisa. :3
Huuu, Marisa might be an interesting something, I guess I could although the only one I'd probably want to get the clear with would be MarisaC, to help practicing with the No-Bomb.... :3
Then again, they really didn't help, cause these runs are full of X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X!! :derp:
-
Yay! That made me happy, and a MarisaC 90fps would be even more neat!!
-
Captured Iwafune 4 times in a row! I think LNBNT Marisa will not be as terrifying as I feared.

Just cleared Mystic Square Normal with Mima for the first time literally minutes ago!
(http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/3160/mysticsquare1st1ccever.png)
Only 2 deaths and 3 bombs used in total actually makes it my best run of any of the main series games to date :V
Also did 1CC runs of LLS (That was actually the first ever Touhou game I did a 1CC of with Illusion Lazer Marisa :V) and both IN Normal Mode routes with the Boarder team (Does that really surprise anyone? :P)
-
Lol, wtf. Tried two random Byakuren fights. The first was a bit of a trainwreck but that was to be expected. Hadn't fought her in a long while and Good Omen was being a butt. Then I tried again and got a 1MNB.
That is essentially another perfect run because the death was a very negligible one on the third non-spell that only happened because I was being careless and bored. Feels good to know that once you learn how to capture LFO you won't just lose it again.
-
No Horizontal movement SA Easy 1cc. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25440)
Nice to finally get this. So silly.
-
alright, after beating ex-alice once, I can say a perfect is definitely within my abilities. the red and blue phases are pretty easy (the 2nd blue scared me, but after getting used to it, it wasn't so bad.) her 2nd pruple, 2nd green ad last phase scare me, however. 2nd green seems static, so it's memorizable. correct me if I am wrong. 2nd purple is...well, the big laters are always the ame, depending on alice' position, but I am not sure about the small ones yet. they're either aimed or random, but definitely not static. last phse follows a rough pattern, but I am not good at reflex-dodging, so I will see how it'll turn out.
for pre-alice pellet spam thing...well, I have worked out a path in theory, but I have yet to test it out in practice. let's hope I didn't miss anything there :V if I said anything wrong, feel free to correct me. anything I say should be taken with a grain of salt, considering I fought her like what? 4 times? there are probably things I missed, too. cheeto lasers aren't so bad in this one, fortunately. not like against shinki :V
also, I have to thank mnintendodonut for this. Ex-alice is an awesome bossfight, so perfecting her will be fun. after miko mirco-tapping bullshit I told myself I need to work on something fun, so this is exactly what I was looking for.
-
2nd purple's laser-ish bullets are aimed, I'm pretty sure.
And 2nd green seems to have a BoWaP/Eternal Meek safespot (used in the 204m nicovideo run (http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm18937690)) if anyone cares.
-
HOLY SHIT.
I just cleared EoSD Stage 4 in practice mode with no lives and two bombs to spare. Using Reimu A. This is the first time I've ever cleared Stage 4. :D

(http://i.imgur.com/ixDzL.jpg)
GRAHHHHHH!!!! SanaeA 1cc! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25442) I feel just as excited as I was when I did my SanaeB 1cc because hot damn it took I guess the same number of tries to do it. Having to relearn basically every single stage took a while, but hahahaha!! Take that! All the BS you put me through, now I get to do it again with ReimuB because why the hell not? Yeahhh!!!
2/6. Oh that feels so good.
Also it might just be me, but it's like impossible for me to get a low life/bomb clear for UFO. I either clear it with stuff to spare, or I don't. Really weird. Oh, and thing I'm most proud of in this run? I went through the entirety of Byakuren's final red phase of LFS without dying! I could actually read that gigantic mess of crap jeez. My dad looked at me funny when I screamed out loud, but who cares? Now I must bask in this excitement for a while before getting it smashed by the next shot type attempt.
-
Congrats. It's gonna be easier from now on. There are two routes for stages. SanaeB and notSanaeB.
My dad looked at me funny when I screamed out loud, but who cares?
Heh. Sounds like a strong orgasm you had there.
-
Tried no-bombs no-manual-trance Hard mode on TD, and made it to Miko's third non-card (technically her third card if I count the last dead trance). This was kinda surprising, as I barely play this game and retardly died to Kyouko's midboss card :V. Seiga is much harder than Futo. I lost 3 lives to stage 4, and only one to 5 (at Futo's first card). But I'm satisfied with this, maybe this means I should 1cc its Lunatic mode already.
-
Congrats. It's gonna be easier from now on. There are two routes for stages. SanaeB and notSanaeB.
Apparently there's also a ReimuB route too. What a weak shot type and annoying bomb that instantly pops UFOs! Even still...
(http://i.imgur.com/sa7CU.jpg)
I feel at once annoyed and accomplished by this. Completely blind UFO run with no idea of how to do anything leads into an almost 1cc.
But yet... WHY? I was so close to the 1cc! If only I didn't bomb Nue or die with the 1 bomb in stock to the circling non-spell... Hopefully this won't take another 100 tries to do though.
Heh. Sounds like a strong orgasm you had there.
Indeed I did. But... Odd, because that wasn't where my mind went. Glad to see how your thought processes work though. :blush:
-
1cced MoF, bringing my total number of normal 1cc's to 6. Will post screenshot later. couldn't decide whether to time out or kill Kanako, as I got to her last spell with more lives than usual. Decided to attack, then thoughtbetter of it, but had done enough to make it harder. I know to just time out from now on >_>

Kanako's final card is time based, not damage based like others of the type. So you're better off bumrushing the card and killing it ASAP.
-
Uh, so I was having a coffee, and I decided to play TD. I wanted to practice for a 1CC on Hard, so I started on Seiga's stage. Now, at this point I was currently trying to play the game with one hand, while drinking my coffee with the other. (Instict and common sense says it was stupid, but whatever.) Now, while I was doing one of her spells, I had a.. not particularly great, but still interesting idea stike me. I'd try one of Seiga's spell on Lunatic, while trying to drink my coffee, and thus be restricted to only using one hand - essentially, I could not shoot or focus. And... I captured "Zouhuo Rumo" on Lunatic. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25443) Noticeably, after the first few seconds, I'd kind of done it no-vert.
Anyway, it was fun so I'll probably try to do Stage 4 completely like this.
-
I just did 1-2, 2-2, 2-3, 2-4, 2-5, 3-3, 4-6, 5-5, 5-7, 6-5, 6-7, 6-8, 8-7, 9-3, 9-4 and 9-5 in DS with Aya without vertical movement. The game is just so awesome it's ridiculous. What makes me most happy about this is that I keep finding new quirks about game mechanics that I haven't read about on the wiki or anywhere else. Playing DS like this is even more like a dynamic puzzle game than it was before.
-
Congrats! Good luck with your 1cc, this is on normal? :3
Yep. Now I just have to see how I do when my parents aren't home. Next time mom works is tomorrow, and dad doesn't interrupt me that much.
But now, the bad news... I have to grind Stage 3 to the point where I can do a NDNB clear of it. It's my rule. No bombs until stage 4, no deaths until Patchy. It's how I'll make it out alive.
-
I FINALLY managed to get something right today: another timeout, this time a Stage 6 spell card, Losing Hometown "Lost Soul's Village -Suicide-" (http://youtu.be/d2Sy3wsnFqE). I needed maybe five attempts total, which is rather pathetic for a Stage 6 Lunatic spell card, but then I shouldn't complain. Everything else Yuyuko has is too tricky for me.

And you're crazy. It's nice to find a game you can get totally obsessed with though, I think.
oh, and there's somebody named Zork. I used to sometimes name my replays Zork.

At last, my first time MoF extra clear (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25446) :V
-
And Marine Benefit has been 1cced on Hard! Honestly, even with the graze farming fest that is ReimuA, I died way too many times to Kasumi to really matter. If only I had captured "Eight Million Laughing Gods" like I have on Normal, then it would have been an awesome run.
-
... Wow. That totally just happened.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25450
I'm sorry, allow me to emphasize how elated I am.
I 1CCed PCB LUNATIC
-
Congrats! The first Lunatic clear is always the most fun.
Now do UFO.
-
Um....
EoSD > Normal
PCB > Lunatic
IN > Hard
MoF > Lunatic
SA > Hard
UFO > Normal
GFW > Hard
TD > Hard
Er, but, thanks, though, I think I'll pass on the UFO clear.
-
I got a 1MNB run of Ichirin. The miss was at
her first boss non-spell :V
Now to do something close to that in an actual run...
Also, I made it to Magic Butterfly with SanaeA :o I'm thinking I'll switch to ReimuA because SanaeA's power/bombs really weren't helping in the Byakuren fight, though.
-
Congrats Yao-kun! If you have 5 power at the end... I guess you either captured Suwako's final card on your first try, or just died a few times. Still nice! I remember when I first saw it, I panicked like mad and bomb spammed my way through crossed eyes. You can probably do Nue next, given how she isn't terribly hard.
And Mister Sanity, congrats on your second Lunatic clear! Of course this means that IN should be cake with a bit of preparation. And you still haven't gotten an EoSD Hard clear yet? Maybe you can just skip Hard and go straight to Lunatic.

For Ichirin, it's more about getting the RNG gods aligned so that her first and last card don't screw you over in some way. And really, once you get her down, you'll be able to get through her with just 1 or 2 bombs easy (First and last cards are the most likely to screw you over).
And ReimuA might be a bigger pain in the ass than SanaeA because her bomb makes her slow to a crawl. You'll blaze through bosses, but some stage sections will become a gigantic pain (stage 4 comes to mind). SanaeA's bomb and power isn't terrible though. You can get through everything with only one bomb if you do it right (except Milky Way and Devil's Recitation if you get caught too early in the card). It only really sucks for LFS, but then again, everyone sucks for LFS (except ReimuA) so...
-
I have a few Lunatic clears rolling in soon, actually.
in TD, I can consistently get to Miko (Beating her, on the other hand.)
Eirin is steamrolling me in IN and Kaguya is a troll
I've gotten to Okuu once or twice
and in UFO Lunatic, I'm still struggling to take down Murasa on a consistent level :<
As for EoSD, I'm still trying to combat horrible input lag. Controlling the game feels floaty on non-XP computers. I haven't even beaten Flandre yet because of it >_<
-
Also, I made it to Magic Butterfly with SanaeA :o I'm thinking I'll switch to ReimuA because SanaeA's power/bombs really weren't helping in the Byakuren fight, though.
Yeah, I'd switch to ReimuA or SanaeB, the strong shots. The first two can almost cheese KKS by killing it off super-fast. The bombs make bosses much easier, no stage compares to a boss fight in difficulty. You can pretty much skip Byakuren's attacks altogether 'n' whatnot with those shots.
And, uh, congratulations to whoever cleared whatever. I lost track.

Okay, a small one but one that's been driving me nuts: I finally captured Atomic Fire [Nuclear Fusion] on Normal, the last card I was still missing on SA/Normal/ReimuA.
-
Congrats Yao-kun! If you have 5 power at the end... I guess you either captured Suwako's final card on your first try, or just died a few times. Still nice!
Thanks, and I capturing Suwako's final card after three times game over from final card.
You can probably do Nue next, given how she isn't terribly hard.
I've cleared it about 2-3 months ago. Now I'm trying to beat Koishi.

All too sudden, minor mistakes. 2,4B is definetly out there, but hey, 2,39B is certainly something as well! (at least for me)
-
E: Thanks. Run comments (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=157.msg910633#msg910633), in the case someone is interested.
-
congratz to all those clears. first lunatic in PCB and first suwako clear are awesome achievements.
I remember that mishguji was the only final card I have ever captured on my first try :V
also, nindella, 90 fps with reimuC clear: congratulations. that is some crazy shit you're doing with that game. I'd say go for that NMNB, but that's something for you to do in the future :'D
Vee: 2.39 b is higher than my lunatic score, so i'd say that's something, not only for you.

And finally, Koishi down!! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25452)
Took 20+ retries to clear it...

Hmm.. judging by your current skill level 20 retries is not that much. Good work. :)

Congrats Yao. At least you didn't use Marisa-C for the first clear like me :V. Subterranean Rose is terrifying at the first times.
Btw, what Extras are you still missing?
-
Ooh, zero Extra Lives, 2.00 Power, sounds like someone had some exciting final seconds, congratulations!
Edit: Congratulations on that IN High Score as well, I know nothing about what scores would be considered good, but I suppose that's quite good at the very least!
-
Still missing EoSD and PCB Phantasm, maybe I'll do phantasm first.
And, thank you :)
-
do EoSD first, it's much easier. and more fun :V also: everyone seems to clear koishi super fast. it still took me 3 months for that first clear.
I'd be hard-pressed to say this is something special for me or a real achievement, but...
in - perfect stage 5 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebuSFPcR0K8)
watch me fight the master of cheap tricks and boring spellcards. silly bunny only good for sex appeal.
-
silly bunny only good for sex appeal.
Pretty much. Allow me to link you to some delicious doujinshi instead. No? Then I'll just tell you that I find her last-spell to be pretty fun, if short-lived. Other than that, yeah she's lame. I perfect that stage everytime i capture her last-spell so it's not hard either.
-
Congratulation!!!
You should be able to net SA Lunatic.
-
Pretty much. Allow me to link you to some delicious doujinshi instead.
Watch your mouth, young man.
-
oh, and there's somebody named Zork. I used to sometimes name my replays Zork.
lol :V I've actually been using Zork as my online handle since like 2005/06 but any replays I upload will be under Zork787 so no worries :P
Anyway, I just attempted my first ever run of Mystic Square Extra. Got Alice to just over half her Health before I game over'd, so even though it wasn't a clear, I'm actually really happy with that. now I just need to record each attempt to make sure I have my first successful run on video :V
-
Oh you don't have to change your name like that. I mean I've used it like three times. :V The only name I've ever used on the uploader is Zil anyway.
-
Watch your mouth, young man.
I'm not young, I'm 46.
-
I'm not young, I'm 46.
Useless semantics! I'm 23, but I've got the heart of a child and the creepiness of a man five times my own age.
Though I have to wonder, why 46?
-
An in-joke from our IRC channel where everyone are 12 year old girls while I'm a 46 year old perverted man who likes to hang with them for dubious reasons. It's all just in jest of course. Not a frequently used thing but recurring nonetheless. It's a channel for perverted players who sucks at Touhou. What can I do?
Speaking of sucking, here's my latest heroic moments in Touhou:
1MNB Shou. Failed on Vajra. That spell is pretty odd for me. Might even say it's her hardest one. At least i'm not sure on how to keep myself from running into bullets stupidly. RTG is probably harder but I just feel like i'm more capable at that one even if it kills me more. That doesn't make sense at all. Moving on.
More 1MNB Ichirin pacifist fights. I keep messing up moronically at KKS or god forbid, some of the later stuff. Still, I find it a noteworthy accomplishment that I can pacify her with so few deaths. I just want to do it without any deaths and I'm wondering why I haven't done that yet.
Kogasa. I keep flawlessly pacifying her final two spells but I somehow can't help myself from invading her private spaces on the first non-spell and the first spellcard. I suck at safespotting it would seem. Or at least getting into safespots dozens of times in quick succession. Still, I can feel the pacifist run approaching. And that's it from my end. I haven't played much recently.

Um....
EoSD > Normal
PCB > Lunatic
IN > Hard
MoF > Lunatic
SA > Hard
UFO > Normal
GFW > Hard
TD > Hard
Er, but, thanks, though, I think I'll pass on the UFO clear.
Have you tried using vpatch on EoSD to fix input lag? Its Lunatic mode was easier for me than IN. I've 1cc'd it twice, and at the second time I sucked really bad and made it to Remilia with only 1 spare life and 3 bombs (Reimu-B, so these bombs are merely for survival), YET made it through her, so she's a piece of cake. SA was kinda hard, but Orin is the actual final boss, because she's way harder than Okuu. I only needed two lives at Okuu, despite losing 3 at Orin :V. UFO Hard isn't that hard either, just abuse Red UFOs... my 1cc of it was bad enough to not capture ANY of Ichirin's spellcards :V.
For me,
EoSD - Lunatic
PCB - Lunatic
IN - Lunatic-A
MoF - Hard (I should bombspam its Lunatic mode later :V)
SA - Lunatic
UFO - Hard
TD - Hard (should play it more, I'm sure I can 1cc its Lunatic after a bit of training and memorization)
Still missing EoSD and PCB Phantasm, maybe I'll do phantasm first.
And, thank you :)
Try using vpatch in EoSD, or playing in window. PCB Phantasm isn't that hard, it's basically just a strengthened Ran (with a memorization-based survival card at the end that you'll have to pretty much bomb almost, if not all waves before you memorize them). But to be honest, I find PCB Phantasm easier than Mokou and Mamizou.
-
oh, are we doing "what I cleared"?
EoSD - lunatic PCB - lunatic IN - Lunatic PoFV - lunatic MoF - Lunatic SA - lunatic UFO - lunatci TD - lunatic.
every single one of the lunatic 1ccs were horrible and I never want to watch them again :V but jokes from my side aside:
had a very successful GFW extra run. captured marisa's 2 hardest spells (big crunch and blazing star - tag style) and the hardest nons. (the 6th and 7th, I think.) sadly I failed some easy stuff (i.e 3rd non, master spark-esque spell. final spell :V) I think I died 4 times overall, maybe 5. I still left with 700% motivation :'D the NMNB is still not quite within my grasp. here comes hoping that I can improve relatively quickly, because a NMNB gfw extra would be so badass. I think nobody in the western community has done it yet (correct me if I am wrong, because I feel like some lunatic already did it)
the game mechanics in GFW are great, even if the life system is a little silly. love that game. I feel inclined to do this next. With shou, byakuren and alice together, I set my priorities to the extra bosses with the two UFO bosses behind. so if anything, expect a GFW or MS perfect extra next. just saying in advance.
and zengeku: welcome to my world of 1mnb everything.
-
I tried Perfect GFW Extra a while ago. I couldn't bring myself to try because it was unbearably slow. It's like my brain shut down.
Don't do 90fps, kids.
-
BT, I will be hoenst with you now. I think you're seriously crazy for playing GFW extra at 90 fps. it's so hectic I don't know what's happening. everything I dodge, I dodge out of instict, not because I could read it. the best I've managed in the 5 tries I've dared to give it was a agem over on the 4th non.
crazy bastard.
though, I may be just as crazy, because I think it's fun as hell. after the NMNB I will so do it, too :V
-
Congratulation!!!
You should be able to net SA Lunatic.
You see, I would, if only I would stop getting to Stage 6 with like, 4 lives, and then losing the majority of them on stupid bullshit like, Peta Flare or something.
-
And you're crazy. It's nice to find a game you can get totally obsessed with though, I think.
;___________; thanks.
Today I did 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 7-4, 10-1, 11-5, 11-7, 12-1, EX-2 and SP-2 without vertical movement with Aya. Over 30 scenes without vertical movement now. Oh, and in case anyone cares, I (obviously) don't allow using up/down buttons to adjust the viewfinder when taking pictures either, which makes reaching the bosses the main issue in many scenes.
You see, I would, if only I would stop getting to Stage 6 with like, 4 lives, and then losing the majority of them on stupid bullshit like, Peta Flare or something.
Autobombing multiple times ftw!!!

See, that's the point. You're meant to trivialize / plan as much as possible and 'dodge' the rest, as best as you can. It's ~adrenaline~ and such. The stage portion is so slow and pathetic if it isn't sped up.
You see, I would, if only I would stop getting to Stage 6 with like, 4 lives, and then losing the majority of them on stupid bullshit like, Peta Flare or something.
Not going to lie here, you have no excuse for reaching Stage 6 with 4 lives and not clearing the game. You can literally bomb twice every pattern and have enough resources to clear. All of my good runs at the time reached Stage 6 with 2 extra lives tops. (usually 1 or none)
-
and zengeku: welcome to my world of 1mnb everything.
It's not a bad world when you are used to a world of dying more than just once.
-
And now, for another in a long line of Horribly Overdue Accomplishments.
(You see, I finally got VPatch working and now EoSD isn't floaty.)
-
I was close to capturing Open Universe at 90fps.
Holy CRAP my lungs.

Still some kind of practice for a lunatic clear. I don't want to fail too hard once I get there.

Got through to Yumemi without losing a single life (lolwut), died 3 times to her. God she is annoying, but then again Chiyuri killed me 4 times the run before, leaving me with 1 shot for Yumemi. People (Zil) should start submitting awesome dodges from this game for the lucky dodge videos so we can see how much more awesome dodges are in this game. I know I had a few today and I only played like 6 or so runs.
-
oh, are we doing "what I cleared"?
MoF, SA and PCB cleared passably.
UFO, IN, EoSD have been cleared but only by use of bombs.
TD have been cleared but only on a low difficulty setting. and with bombs and trances so it doesn't count.
Haven't cleared Mystic Square even with bombs because it's too hard.
That's my epic list.

UFO: Lunatic No-Miss(???)
Extra Stages and artificial things like perfects and no-verts do not interest me. I might do some No-Miss or No-bomb runs of games I particularly like.
-
guys, I was actually just kidding ^^'
RNG, what do you mean by artificial? I don't really understand what you mean by that. like these challenges don't come naturally, normally? something like "it was forced" ? if so: yeah, no perfect shou comes out of nowhere, that's true. but it still looks cool as fuck.
chalros, congratz on that PoDD clear. I tried the game, I sucked at it hard. it may because I played chiyuri, though :V who knows.
-
I dunno, it's just not my thing. I appreciate that it's impressive and I know that with shmups there are lots of potential goals to work towards, and one is not necessarily more vaild or valuable than another. I don't intend disrespect towards people who work mostly on stage practice.
Partly it's arcade training telling me that spending so much time on one stage that you know quite well, waiting for all the stars to align, is not very time-efficient. Partly, I like to focus on full-game challenges because they require sustained concentration over a larger period of time and do a better job of getting me into a flow state.
Eh.
-
Well, that was anticlimactic.

are you suggesting I am truly insane :V? Also, good job. it's funny how the end-game bonus is what gives you most score, regardless of what you did during the stage. my record's something in the 65 million and like 50 million was for my extra lives. but I digress.

Maybe someday, when I feel up to going through that old process again. But no deathing a 15 minute stage is no simple matter, especially when it's in a game that does not necessarily feel like creating conditions you can survive normally. But perfecting is absolutely out of the question - Fairy Wars simply doesn't give me that kind of feeling! It's just so fun, you know, that it's a game of trying to come out on top, creating lives as quickly as you're losing them. A really nice change of pace from the skillful, reserved attitude the normal games encourage.
-
Cleared A1 and A2 of 12.8 Normal today, after not having made it through Normal for ages since getting C1. I'm really awful at FW most of the time.

According to your highscore screenshot, you obviously has faced Yukari before in a TAS-ed run.
I don't think it what makes for a first try run clear.

Just cleared Mystic Square normal with Yuuka for the first time! although I went a lil bomb crazy against Yumeko :V
Video of the run is on the way! :P
-
Ehh... why not? There's score, there's no-miss challenges, no-bomb challenges, gold medals. Why is skill runs not in the spirit of the game? That doesn't make sense.
you don't even have to do gold medals. you can still capture it with having a silver one. though, I do have like 4 spellscards captured without using ice in that stage.

aside from a few exceptions, you're right when you say surviving a 15 minute stage isn't easy. but who ever said that it needs to be?
I don't think it'd take you much longer to do a NMNB than it would take you to do a ND run. I mean, you can still use ice, so it's not like you have to do the impossible. just get the timing down on some patterns and you're good. I on the other hand :V well, yeah. I don't think it's too much more crazy than NMNB koishi or Flandre. just slightly. since the game literally vomits bullets in your face, especially in the stage potion.
-
I keep looking for Lunatic spells to time out. This time it's Lunatic Gaze "Ilusion Seeker" (http://youtu.be/UH4HSoWU6ac). I don't know where to look next, though. Any ideas, anyone? Are there any Lunatic Stage 4 or later spells that would be possible for a Normal/Hard player to time out?
-
Anything is possible if you give it enough effort.
pick SFN pick SFN pick SFN pick SFN
-
you don't even have to do gold medals. you can still capture it with having a silver one. though, I do have like 4 spellscards captured without using ice in that stage.
I meant that the Gold Medals would be a seperate challenge from NMNB stuff. I don't expect anyone to be insane enough to go for a full Gold Medal run on anything in this game since that's just insane and would require a lot of luck on certain attacks. It can be pretty fun to try for Gold Medals individually though.
I have seen some japanese video on Nico where he gets gold on all spells on one of the routes but i don't remember which one. I think B1 or B2.
EDIT: Given the recent discussion about Fairy Wars Extra, I decided I've give it a shot myself since I haven't played it since it came out and it's pretty fun. The non-spells are delicious. I had a terrible run though. Died against a lot of things that really shouldn't have killed me and I have not fully mastered things like Big Crunch yet. I ended up timing it out because I failed to get in close to get shots off. But that'll probably wear off in time.
Stage portion is easy but fun for some reason. Might grow boring later on but not right now. Finished the run with 600% motivation.
-
I randomly decided to try PoFV Lunatic with Aya. The result? PoFV Lunatic 1cc on the first try ever at any difficulty that's not Easy/Extra/Normal. I'm seriously surprised at how trivial Aya makes this game. I expected it at least to take the same amount of effort as MoF Lunatic MarisaB or HRtP Lunatic.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFjoiYKvtVk
Also I created a ~9 hour long Lunatic CPU Reisen vs. Reisen replay (played at an average fps somewhere in the 300s, still took somewhere between an hour and two hours) that the uploader refused to accept. Here's a screenshot. (http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee487/KarisaMirisame/4922246750.png) I also attached it to this post, but I'd be seriously surprised if anyone watches it, even at maxed fps like I did (if you do play it back for whatever reason, please tell me if it synced or not).

Well you have to beat Lunatic to unlock it, so I guess that counts.
Also, I find First Pyramid quite fun and enjoyable, if you want something to timeout redlakitu (not stage 4, but still).
On topic : got a no-miss run of IN Lunatic stage 3, perfecting stage portions and midboss.
Going to bombspam tackle Hell stage 4B now...

You can do it using all the continues you want, though. But I'm more likely to follow your suggestion, anyway. Vee and Coreven are just trying to make me lose my sanity, I bet.

SFN is actually one of the best spells in the series. I don't think they want you to go insane. sure, it's tough, but its awesomeness totally makes up for it.
also, GFW talk makes me happy. I shall come back here once I am done with my NMNB run :V time to do some planning, really.
-
I have now 1cc'ed EoSD on normal with all characters! :D I did this so I can have all characters available for my EoSD Extra tries. (And to say that I actually made a real accomplishment >_>)
-

This has kinda become my goal too. I'm only gonna try twice a day though so I bet you'll get it done way before I do. So far I can capture all her spells but two of them are giving me trouble. First one is Big Crunch and second one is Super Perseid. Which are your worst?
Also, have you tried gold medalling Hard mode spells? That is actually quite a lot of fun as they are mostly doable. Not all of them though.
-
Finally 1CC'd SA Normal! And did it with MarisaC :D http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25483 although Utsuho did troll me a bit right at the end :P
-
First one is Big Crunch and second one is Super Perseid.
I'm convinced Super Perseid is literally impossible to dodge if you're high enough and a familiar shoots straight towards you.
-
So what do you guys do to pass it NMNB? Hang around the bottom of the screen and freeze the yellow stuff? Sakurei or BT, do you save replays of your almost successful runs? If you do, can i have one so I can perhabs learn some things? If you don't, do you know of other replays that show what I'm looking for?

1cc'd Magical Singular Day on extreme mode. :getdown:

I don't have close-to-NMNB GFW Extra runs. I literally can't play it with normal speed.

Oh wow SanaeB is overpowered against Nue, why did I not try this earlier? Those wide shots always make me assume she's gonna be weak.
[attach=1]
(Last 3 spells were all failed, but timeout only by one stupid sitting in the lasers when they first +'d, and Grudge Bow one bomb, no death, which is a first).
Edit: Just did it with SanaeA too, though that one wasn't on my first try! I did get the timeout for the first time in that run though. Only missing ReimuB and MarisaB now. I'm finally feeling comfortable with this stage.
-
uh, zengeku, big crunch is the bane of my existence. and the 7th non. I can't say I have other real troublespots.
my conditions for these are no deaths and no bombs, but ice is fine. as much as you want. so yeah, for super perseid, I stick slightly below marisa and freeze the yellow stuff. sad thing about all this is that my best run ended to blazing star tag style. I don't even know how I died to that. I was so angry I didn't safe the replay. I have 2 replays with 3 deaths, each, though. one is from today, the other one a little older. in the old one, I die to open universe, 7th non and grand cross (of all things :V). in the one from today, I die 2x against super perseid, and screw up on fairy destructuion ray. I'll drop them off, if 3 deaths is close enough for you :V
as a matter of fact, I have seen nobody ever try it, so I doubt you'll find many (if any) runs that go by these rules. even good runs will have bombs in them. as far as I have seen, anyway.

I pull some crazy dodges in both, but it just wasn't enough. I do believe I'll crack it sometime this week, though.

Perfect boss Ichirin (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25504)! First perfect boss past stage 1 that I've done.
As for the actual run... now I'm leaning back towards SanaeA again due to certain stage portions (4 and 5 in particular). I'm probably going to end up cycling through the three until something works :ohdear:

Captured the last 2 cards I had left today ( ＾ω＾)

The FinalA run got 100M within the current #1 on Royalflare, ranking me 3rd on Royalflare! I'm so happy.

That is so sweet. I hope you have enough alcoholic beverages to celebrate this properly!
What kind do you recommend for celebrating touhou accomplishments BTW?
How long until you start collecting world records???

I obviously don't know anything about this, but the ranking sounds amazing. Good job!

The quality is crap, but at least the framerate is fine. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa1Wq4tIb48)
This is the 'gotcha' EoSD Stage 6 run with MariA. The one with ReimuB happened before I patched the game and it was probably better -- the Scarlet Meister cap in this one is a load of bull. ;-;
-
(https://dl.dropbox.com/u/64600169/2012-11-26_00001.jpg)
Well, this was unexpected. I 1cc'd EoSD Normal with MarisaA. This was my first time ever reaching Stage 6 as well, so that's why I say it was unexpected.
Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25519)
The score is a bit crap, but meh. I'm a bit surprised that I captured Eternal Meek and Red Magic on my first time ever facing them.
I will probably put this on YouTube sometime this week.
-
Hey look, my first ever IN Easy 2 billion score! Just barely made it. Here's the replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25521). A far cry from Vee's score, but still, I'm really happy about it.
It's with solo Reimu, too, not Youmu, who is, I believe, the preferable choice in most cases. I picked Reimu because Youmu is impossible to control I'm a terrible player and wanted an easier time. Also I'm rather surprised that I managed to reach 2 billion despite an atrocious Stage 5. Literally atrocious - I had to deathbomb twice on the stage portion, missed a lot of point items and let way too many enemies run away. Good thing I decided against abandoning the run at that point.
-
So much for 720p. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6yhVF7vGkA)
Have some awesome Patchouli action.
1MNB Patchouli done in a full run with MarisaA. Choke was to Lava Cromlech.

1cc'd Magical Singular Day on extreme mode. :getdown:
Guyz, where are you?

Played a credit of PCB Extra on a whim since stage 1 was frustrating me too much today. Haven't played the stage in months, but randomly got a NMNB1BB Ran (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25523). Border break was on her second non, really silly. Would have been a no-miss Extra as well if not for a really stupid death on the spawning bullets right before Ran.
-
oh sorry bang, I totally didn't see that post. that's crazy bullshit you pulled there. congratulations. now upload the replay so we can all watch it :V
-
Once Jaimers gets around to recording the video I will.
-
It's only a silly FinalA run on an unplayed shot of an unplayed mode. I should not feel this good.
I still do.

Aaa, Congratiulations on the 1CC. I never played much MSD myself, but it seemed rather intense from what I experienced with it. Warmly waiting for a replay.
-
Wow congrats on the world record!
As for me, I had not played IN on a lot of time so I tried some spell practice and I suprisingly captured rather easily apollo 13 in one try, so I tried to timeout it and got the timeout in one try too.

A world record is a world record. Congrats Seppo! Will you be putting the run on your youtube channel? (And will you will be taking the high scores with other shots?)
Edit: On the topic of accomplishments, I got around to uploading this PoDD run (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDcIgr7y73Q) that I did quite a while ago. It's kinda half good, half terrible, but I figured I'd mention it for lack of anything else to put here. There was a time when I honestly believed I'd never get Yumemi over 70mil. Now I think 80 can be done. And why on earth does Chiyuri have to turn the background white for a second when she appears? The bullets are literally invisible.
-
Vee you crazy bastard, ongratulations on a world record.
-
PCB 91fps Phantasm clear. Because 90fps is too ordinary so I'm doing something that's practically the exact same thing without being the exact same thing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqYgYnKLxZE
Took me like 6 attempts. It was in response to someone saying around an hour ago that my PCB Extra perfect Ran 1 billion run (which took way more attempts, spread out over a few months) looked easier than Malkyrian's 90fps Phantasm clear.
-
Eh, thanks, everyone. I'm not sure if I should put it on Youtube, I'm unable to record at the moment myself, and I'm unsure if I remember to record it when I regain ability to do so. Also, it's an easymode run and not that special for people who are not me. I could put it up for archival purposes and for myself, but I'm rather sure that other people would not find it special. We'll see, maybe I'll enslave someone to record it like the lazy bum I am.
-
Congratiulations on the captures, clear and timeouts, too.

I could help with recording, if you wouldn't mind that. A video from me wouldn't have the greatest quality, but it'd definitely be watchable.
-
Guyz, where are you?
Sorry. Missed it too. It's almost hard for me to believe that you actually did that having seen what the final stage looks like when TAS'ed. You saying you did this legit? Can't you send me the replay? I can't wait for Jaimers to record it! :3
-
Finally got a 1cc of UFO normal with MarisaA.
I still don't get why my second clear of UFO with Reimu took like 3 tries, yet this one took 14...thanks Flying Fantastica for ruining nearly all my previous attempts.
Well, it doesn't really matter. I got a first capture of Byakuren's third spell (the one with curvy lasers) on the way, so that's cool.
Congratulations Seppo on the world record !
-
Congrats BangJan and Vee =)
Finally got around to 1ccing MS Normal with Reimu. I'd have done this a while ago if it didn't lag so much.
-
I captured "The Eight Million Laughing Gods" on Hard. Who's laughing now?
Not me. I hate that card so much. I won't be able to do it in an actual run, that's for sure. But at least I did it once.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/p0xhY.jpg)
I'm pretty sure this is fairly terrible, but I still managed to get to Yuyuko's penultimate card before completely game overing on my fourth try through this thing, and that's pretty great in my book seeing as how I've now unlocked all stages save for the last for stage practice. I believe I used my first continue on Alice or something, which just goes to show how freaking broken the PCB continue system is far you can go despite needing to continue early.
I can already tell that there's gonna be a ton of memorization if I'm ever going to get this 1cc. God freaking damn. Also the award for pattern that's much harder than I thought it would be at 90 fps goes to Yuyuko's last non-spell. You know, the one that's almost completely aimed? Yes. That one is tough. Butterfly bullets suck.
Also for kicks/warming up, I tried to use Sakuya in the run before this one. Worst idea ever. How can you dodge ANYTHING with Sakuya's fast focus speed?
-
Good going everyone, it's very inspiring to see the community becoming so insanely good. And special congratulations to Seppo for becoming one of the few western WR holders!
-
I've recorded and uploaded Vee's awesome score run to my channel. I hope it didn't turn out too badly. My laptop isn't super powerful.

Just Sakuya pretending to be Chen. And it's a success because I cleared it. :derp:

Slow progress: STB and DS are now both unlocked through world 9, and worlds 1 through 5 are entirely completed in both.
-
Well, this is exciting. Made it to Stage 6 on an LNBNT attempt for the first time, including a perfect Stage 5. I don't know what was going on in Iwafune. Or Sakuraiji.
Just watch this, holy balls (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=25548). I'll probably laugh at this soon but I'm shocked I could pull this off.
-
duh, the 1DNB is up. enjoy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riqi09YmS5g
despite me being all angry over it, it's a good run and fairly impressiv, I'd say.

I Normal 1cc'd Mountain of Faith, which was a little bit easy, Subterranean Animism, which was very difficult, and Undefined Fantastic Object, which was even harder. yay :)

I guess memorizing the knives after the midboss fairies helps, but it's really not needed as long as you stall the waves for a bit, go up one side, freeze with at least ~65%, stall the waves, go up the other side, repeat. I do it consistently at 90fps.
... Redirecting Test Slave to the right looks really silly. I think redirecting to the left is easier.
Those criss-cross dodges at the last nonspell are "that one thing I suck at", but not only that but they're not necessary! Your freezes are powerful enough to finish her off after three - start at the center (ideally, at one of the sides), freeze, stream to a corner, freeze, go UP a corner, freeze, nonspell is done. I haven't tried this at 90fps yet but it's really not a problem to pull off every time at 60fps.
Good run! You capped Big Crunch so it has to be one.
Right. I definitely remember someone posting a No Ice Test Slave. I think it was Zil and it was unlisted, but I might be wrong.
-
I am convinced this is not possible without ice
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAkHHX7RZ5c
;V
Yeah iirc guiding it left is easier, though right didn't really seem all that bad. And I don't know what you guys are so worked up about with Big Crunch. That time, Sakurei, you kept freezing too early, and you even ran away from her when you had enough time to finish her off before before you got crushed, I think. I could upload a replay of how I do it, later. It should be very simple, I think. The biggest threat in that stage is Blazing Star in my opinion.
-
I wasn't actively trying to memorize the fairies. but with like 400 runs, you'll know eventually :V
I always re-direct it to the right. since I can do it consistently, it's alright, I suppose. haven't died to it since forever.
last non is a non-issue anyway, no matter how you do it. Unless you think the RNG screw you over hard with not leaving a proper gap to cross through, but eh...hasn't happened to me ever.
I capped big crunch many times only to die later against something silly and easy. So well. it just wasn't meant to be a perfect run until I lost my mind :V but yeah, for now it's all 90 fps.
welp, then it's possible, I just couldn't do it. ALRIGHT :V fine with me. as for the big crunch issue: yeah, I didn't do it optimally. Not that it really matters. as for the running away even though I had enough time thing: I am not looking at her helath bar. I heard the sound, alright, but that doesn't mean I could try and finish her off hastily, does it? did that once, died still. not risking it again. that sort of stuff. it gave me extra ice, too :V
blazing star is not difficult. like, at all. if even I can gold-medal it, then it's far from the most dangerous thing in the stage. Do post the big crunch video, though; if you care. I'd love to see how horribly wrong everything went :s
-
Okay, did my fourth Fairy Wars Extra run and managed to capture the rest of the spells i didn't have captures of before. This was in my usual state of morning retardation though (you know, the state of mind where you can fail twice on Masterspark Like Flashlight. Ugh how gross.)
Anyway, progress sign. Open Universe captured, Super Perseid captured and final spell captured. They didn't even feel very hard to be honest despite how terrible i've been playing otherwise. I even died on the stage... seriously. Looking forward to try more tonight when i'm properly awake. :V
-
Since Jaimers is being very slow with the video, I have a screenshot to prove that I did indeed 1cc MSD on extreme
(http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y538/Bang_Jan/MSDextreme.png)
Also, here's an ancient timeout of mine. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XKL8tCHtQ4)
-
Do post the big crunch video, though; if you care.
Well, I was just going to upload a replay to gensokyo.org, but a video is easier, in a sense. Here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXCrrH81RfQ
It has three captures, for the hell of it. The first was pretty much all according to plan. There's really no dodging involved. It's all about timing. In the second one you can see that I froze a bit too late as the orbs started closing in the first time, so I didn't really get close enough to the outer rim. In the third one the freeze while I was hiding in the corner was also a little late, so I had to go through a wall that remained. (Maybe that could be avoided by using the left corner though.) Anyway, hopefully you can see that when things are timed correctly you pretty much have to dodge nothing.
I think I might try for a NMNB run myself now. I could never do it before because my keyboard was a traitor, though I guess that's no longer an issue.

Speaking of that, yesterday I beat Yukari at 92fps, because 90 is too mainstream and Karisa had done 91 before. :V Sucked everywhere, but at least caught Boudary of Humans and Youkai. :3

Well now. I seem to have made a mistake Bang Jan. I mistook Apocalypse for Extreme so that's why I was a bit sceptic. Still, good job definitely. I need to do this sometime too. In fact, i've never really tried Extreme mode so I think I'll go do that right now.
