Title: Your Current Touhou Goals Thread
Post by: Andrew on June 06, 2013, 06:45:25 AM
So, there's a thread for what we've already accomplished, so I thought why not have a thread for our current goals in the Touhou games? What are you currently attempting to achieve or plan to attempt next? Some of us already have our current goals in our sigs, but I figured this thread could be a chance to go into a little bit more detail. How much are you struggling with your current goals? What is the closest you've come to achieving them? How long have you been attempting your current goals for? Just some examples of what could be discussed here. If there is already a thread for this or some other factor that makes this thread pointless then I don't mind if this thread gets locked. Otherwise, I hope this experimental thread works out.

Since my goals are in my sig, here's a bit more detail on some of them:

Because Sakuya is so overpowered in PCB, I'm gonna do a normal 1cc with a different character at some point. Since I've 1cced IN on hard, PCB will probably also be the second or third Touhou game I attempt to 1cc hard on. PCB Extra no deaths I could probably do. I just need to be in the right mindset so I'm not getting so nervous near the end. All done. And since then, I've gotten a PCB Lunatic 1cc, and a PCB Extra NMNBNBB!

Why I want to capture QED: Before my first EoSD Extra clear, I had to face QED with no lives or bombs left, and ended up dying when I was literally half a second away from capturing the damn card. Ever since I heard about how notorious QED is for its difficulty, I have made it my goal to capture it at some point in my Touhou career. Don't care too much about that anymore. Maybe if I feel like playing EoSD Extra again I'll go for it, but it's low priority compared to my other goals.

As for right now, I'm just about to work on unlocking Imperishable Shooting, for the Last Word that requires it to be seen once. I've beaten Mokou once before, and I can cap a few of her cards pretty easily, so hopefully I won't find this too difficult. All Last Words and Imperishable Shooting captured.

Whatever your goals are, I wish you all luck. :)

1cc Normal everything :V im a noob *sob*

About how well I do them..

EoSD - I can usually perfect the first three stages (with some luck on Icicle Fall) and depending on who I play as, I can either lose only one or two lives to Patchouli, or get utterly creamed. And if I get past her usually Sakuya killed me anyway.
PCB - I can quite reliably perfect the first three stages and I can handle the Prismrivers quite well. Then Youmu sweeped the floor with me. I haaaate her nonspells  >:(
IN - Yesterday I tried playing using Border Team and surprisingly I was very close to 1cc it, dying to Apollo 13. Then I tried using Scarlet Team and got CAVED by normal Keine, lost all lives to Reimu, and killed by random mook on stage 5  :wat:
MoF - Stage 4 still proves to be a brickwall for me (MOMIJIIIIIII), although I'm getting better at handling Aya's attacks.
SA - Got killed by Parsee countless times, and if I do get past her I'll get killed by random stage 3 mooks  :V

Also to clear PoFV extra mode. This is really luck based...on some run I can get to Reimu, and only very few runs I can get to Shikieiki. And for most of the runs I derped and got killed at Stage 2

Hey, no need to cry. All the Insane-level Touhou pros had to start somewhere, right?

Then again, maybe that would be a bit more comforting from an actually experienced player and not someone who's also trying to 1cc Normal Mode.

For my part, I've yet to 1cc a game on normal (I haven't been at this very long >_<).

UFO lunatic 1cc: I know I can do it, it's just a matter of deciding to put a few hours into it. at this point.
MoF LNB: ...idk, might try this every once in a while but I really would need a fluke run.  Feels weird removing something from the short-term goals list.
Longer term-perfect every extra stage (except GFW, maybe) and every lunatic boss (Windows)
Short term on that goal include Patchy, Prismrivers, Youmu, IN Reimu/Marisa, Kanako, Satori, Utsuho, Kogasa, maybe Ichirin, Flan/Yukari/Mokou/Koishi/Nue

and most importantly, to just generally PLAY more.  Last night helped because I had a blast doing no focus PCB ultra lunatic  :3
Title: Re: Your Current Touhou Goals Thread
Post by: Reiko on June 06, 2013, 06:03:09 PM
SA Extra no-bombs, (maybe EoSD Extra too).
EoSD Lunatic with other shottypes.
Capturing any survival spellcard (other than Youkai Polygraph), just to see how it feels.
Learning how to micrododge, or buying a better keyboard.
Maybe unlocking Hatate in DS too...just 2 more scenes to unlock Spoiler level.
Title: Re: Your Current Touhou Goals Thread
Post by: CyberAngel on June 06, 2013, 06:12:22 PM
Get Normal 1cc where I haven't yet
Work on Easy no-miss runs, also try some challenges like no-bomb and maybe even pacifist
Try to get farther on Hard/Lunatic everywhere
Keep getting better overall

Title: Re: Your Current Touhou Goals Thread
Post by: Blue on June 06, 2013, 11:04:56 PM
To 1cc all Windows games with every shot type on Normal. All I have left are UFO(haven't even touched it yet), SA C-types, and, well, everyone except Reimu, Marisa, and Youmu on PoFV. Oh, and I guess GFW too...

...Ok, so I gave myself maximum possible lives on EoSD, PCB, and IN, but I was a noob when I 1cced those, and afterwards, I wanted consistency...

Long-term stuff: Beat an Extra Stage, complete StB and DS, and to actually play PC-98 games.
Title: Re: Your Current Touhou Goals Thread
Post by: Jazazamine on June 06, 2013, 11:06:47 PM
=O interesting thread. I like this idea.

My current goals:

Subterranean Animism

Beat Koishi with Reimu B (I finally beat it with Reimu A, but B is the one I like.. A just has more power <.<)
1cc normal mode with Marisa B then proceed to beat Koishi again.

UFO

1cc  normal mode and then beat Nue with Marisa B (as terrible as that shot type is, I LOVE it personally.)

Ten Desires

Beat Mamizou for the first time with Reimu. (she's the only one unlocked atm since I can't beat normal 1cc with anyone but her.)
1cc normal mode with Marisa/Youmu/Sanae


That's really about it right now.

Post by: Kosachi on June 06, 2013, 11:11:21 PM
Get a Hard 1cc across the board :D I already have 2 of the games done, all that's left is practice the hell out of the rest!
Title: Re: Your Current Touhou Goals Thread
Post by: Limian on June 06, 2013, 11:15:06 PM
- perfecting or at least substantially improving on extra stages (IN in particular)
- 1cc'ing EoSD and UFO hard, then ~finally~ moving on to lunatic

UFO hard will be my bane there because I haven't even reached stage 5 yet (best run ended on dipper creeping close), and with the trouble Kogasa and Ichirin give me, I'm downright scared of Shou and Byakuren. I refuse to touch lunatic before I 1cc it (and EoSD), though.

semi long term:
- unlock and beat the remaining last words (Marisa, Youmu, Yuyuko, Yukari)
- unlock StB extra (51/66 scenes so far)

super long term:
- 1cc all lunatics, then proceed to do it with all shottypes (except IN solos) and/or without bombs
Title: Re: Your Current Touhou Goals Thread
Post by: Watari on June 07, 2013, 02:33:26 AM
Looking at all these goals, makes me feel so small...

At the moment, I'd be happy if I could just 1CC all the games on Normal...
Title: Re: Your Current Touhou Goals Thread
Post by: an unmatched sock on June 07, 2013, 02:41:20 AM
Normal 1cc's Remaining: Great Fairy Wars, Double Dealing Character demo, Phantasmagoria of Flower View (once I get it working...)

Games to acquire and then play: Hopeless Masquerade, Double Dealing Character demo, PC-98 games (?)

EX Stages to conquer: IN (too lazy to do it earlier)
   MoF (exploding frog bullets. Just no, Suwako. No.)
   SA (That stage is killer...Koishi isn't very easy to get to.)
   UFO (Not as bad to get through as SA from what I've experienced so far, but still a pain.)
   TD (should be pretty easy...got to Mamizou's sixth card on my first try on the same day I unlocked it)
   PCB (Phantasm, technically. I beat Ran a lot faster than Flandre, but I didn't feel like putting up with Yukari.)

Start breaking my brain by trying Hard on each game (in order, of course)

And lastly...finally stop being lazy and start trying danmakufu. I've been procrastinating on that since Christmas :V

And screw all of you with your big lunatic ambitions. Y'all is crazy. I mean that in an endearing way because I'm jealous of you for being good enough to do them on lunatic...

Post by: Aeteas on June 07, 2013, 03:24:11 AM
though I don't have much time now days, my current goals are as follow:

No-death no-bomb EoSD extra
No-bomb border abusing PCB lunatic 1cc
1cc other routes in GFW lunatic

After that I'll either go do perfect extras and no-bomb runs in other games, or I'll put some time into finally getting a Ketsui 1-ALL.

Oh yeah, I still need to perfect some stages and bosses (Youmu, Murasa, maybe others)
Title: Re: Your Current Touhou Goals Thread
Post by: Tsym on June 07, 2013, 05:45:48 AM
Oh I quite like this idea. Gotta wonder if this thread will stick around after everyone's posted their stuff though.

Right now:

TD No Bomb Lunatic 1cc - I basically just started this. Less than an hour devoted to this one. According to stage practice, I'll need around 8 lives to do this one comfortably, but I'm sure that I can bring that number down once I actually practice a bit more and remember how to do several patterns.
UFO No Bomb Lunatic 1cc - This one is a bit longer term, but it's coming along. Currently working on stages 5 and 6 because I need to spend a lot of time getting good enough at Shou and Byakuren to pull this off. I currently need like 12 lives after stage 4 to do this one comfortably, so uh... Yeah. Still better than before though since I couldn't even clear either stage reliably on stage practice.

EoSD Normal. Every time I don't clear it feels like a fluke, and yet I can't finish it after dozens of tries. Then EoSD Normal again with the rest of the shot types. I hate you, EoSD. I want you cleared so I never have to play you again...

primary objectives:

get back into Touhou  :D - like for real.
expand my loli collection by 300% before September.


secondary objectives:

Survival related things:
EoSD LNB
PCB LNB that doesn't suck balls (too much)
IN LNB
SA LNB that doesn't suck balls (too much)
UFO LNBNV
TD NBNT
GFW - low miss no-bomb of a route.

Scoring related things:
MoF 2b. I'm thinking about going for high scores on both ReimuB and MarisaB actually.
PCB 1.5b - Challenged to do that by someone. Will definitely try at one point.
IN - Whatever I can achieve without learning Hourai Jewel.

I have also been thinking about a few timeouts and boss pacifists but honestly, those things are so arbitrary that they are not really worth mentioning for me. The only thing that matters to me is full run performances.

I'm so horrible at these games *sobs*
Don't worry about it, everyone starts somewhere. I needed multiple continues to beat PCB (my first game) on Normal when I was starting out, and 1CCing Easy was a challenge. It took me about a year to get to the point where I felt like a Lunatic 1CC was within my reach.

I can say with confidence that every single person here used to be at your skill level or worse. The only thing that separates us is time spent practicing. Keep at it. You'll be amazed by what you can achieve before long.

Title: Re: Your Current Touhou Goals Thread
Post by: Piranha on June 23, 2013, 06:29:12 AM
My goal is 1cc'ing the games with every shottype, and beating the Extra stages as well as Phantasm.

And playing more PoFV.

Beat any game on something other than Easy. That is it right now.  :X
I'm so horrible at these games *sobs*

When I started with Touhou, it took me 3 months to get 1cc's with every shot type on Easy. Keep practicing, and you will get better.

To be able to beat any Touhou shooter on normal without derping out on Stage 3 or 4...
I can get to the last stage on TH 09 but Komachi and Eiki are meeeeeeean.

Concerning PoFV, I was in the same position about a month ago. If you can get to the last stage it's just a matter of time, trust me.
There is nothing better for improving your overall dodging skills than PoFV (or PoDD  :derp:)
As for the others: Use LOTS of stage practice, the biggest challenge is doing good in a live run though :V

Don't worry about it, everyone starts somewhere. I needed multiple continues to beat PCB (my first game) on Normal when I was starting out, and 1CCing Easy was a challenge. It took me about a year to get to the point where I felt like a Lunatic 1CC was within my reach.

I can say with confidence that every single person here used to be at your skill level or worse. The only thing that separates us is time spent practicing. Keep at it. You'll be amazed by what you can achieve before long.
I'd like to quote this for emphasis.

I think I couldn't even clear a Touhou game on Normal with continues when I first started. I don't recall IN Easy taking me too long to 1cc, but the others I tried took anywhere from a few days to several weeks. It took me four months to get a Normal 1cc, and about a year after that for a Lunatic 1cc.

So to all the players going for Normal mode or clearing Extras (or anything below the crazy accomplishments that the lunatics around here are achieving, which seem to dominate the accomplishment threads), just keep practicing, see what you can learn from others' replays, and don't be afraid to ask for help on whatever you have trouble with.



Anyway, I didn't post any goals of my own here earlier, might as well post a few now:

- 80m LLS Extra
- 100m LLS Normal
- 110m ("B" score) LLS anything
- 125m MS Normal
- 150m MS Hard
- 190m MS Extra
- SA Normal 1-death run (effectively no-death run since the death is a suicide for power at the start)
- 1b SA Extra
- 1.5b UFO anything
- 4b IN Lunatic
- 2b in at least two games that aren't IN (1st is probably SA Lunatic, 2nd is very far away right now but it is a goal)
- reach 1b MoF Lunatic with all characters
- MoF Lunatic no-death run with a non-MarisaB character
- Hold on to some Royalflare DDC records (or, failing that, 2nd/3rd place scores) for as long as I reasonably can, both now and when the full game is released
- Learn the EoSD and GFW scoring systems, since although I know how they work I'm not that good at them myself
- "Perfect" at least one Touhou game on Normal
- 1cc PoDD Lunatic
- 1cc MS Lunatic with all characters
- Improve my Lunatic survival in general, since it's not as good as I'd like
- Succeed in at least one Lunatic no-bombs 1cc and at least one Lunatic 91fps 1cc

Wait, that's not a few. I think I got carried away. Here's one more though:
- Balance my Touhou playing so it isn't using up so much of my time. I thought I had it balanced earlier this year, but then the DDC demo came out...

Since I can't play GFW right now, I've been working on EoSD Easy, goal for now is 140 millions.

It's quite addictive and difficult for me. By the way, MATSU's run is... something else.

> a year for lunatic

man, gurl, you're fast. it took me a year to 1cc PCB normal. and 2 1/2 years for my first lunatic 1cc. I only got really comofrtable with lunatic difficulty after 3 years of playing (i.e a year ago). don't feel bad about being bad. as long as you play regularly, you'll improve (faster than I did).

It took me 8 months to clear UFO Lunatic and others had it faster so... yeah. Yet I'm pretty sure you're progressing faster than I am right now.

Basically it's up to how much you want to improve. You can play casually for 4 years and be stuck on Normal.

> a year for lunatic

It took me 8 months. It was PCB Lunatic though. :V A while later I got EoSD, IN, SA, etc.

But yeah, you won't just wake up in a beautiful day and do a Lunatic 1cc without effort. We do have prodigies like Cactu, Nindel, Denpa, etc, who became monsters within a short period of time, but that's not very common.

Well, now that I've completed my PCB and IN goals, and gotten 4 Hard 1ccs (IN, PCB, PoFV and MoF) under my belt, I've got new goals. Will probably play Ten Desires next to attempt my 5th Hard 1cc. Done, easy game was easy. 6th will probably be either EoSD or a PC-98 game. Maybe I'll even take Karisa's advice and try to 1cc PCB Lunatic at some point. Done without much effort.

Photo games progress:
StB: 71/85 scenes cleared. Struggling quite a lot with levels 10 and EX. Maybe I'll come back to this game later.
DS: Not played yet.

Edit (March 20th, 2014): Also 1cced all Windows Normals and Extras, and SA, DDC and all GFW routes on Hard, and 2 GFW routes on Lunatic since then, but still just haven't gotten around to working on my goals in EoSD, the pc-98 games or the photo games yet.

Currently, I'm trying to 1cc TH13 Ten Desires on Normal, and the only reason why I havent done it yet, is, because, FREAKING SPAWNS! (I Keep dying becayse enemies/bullets spawn directly in my face when I'm going aggresive, AM I RIGHT STAGE 1/YOSHIKA?)
Afterwards, I will try to 1cc TH7 Perfect Cherry Blossom, (also on Normal) but I always lose my last life at Yuyuko's last spell, which needless to say, ticks me off a little bit. (You wouldn't believe how close I got to doing it once)
After that, I will take a HUGE break from the series. Because it burned me out already.

10D Arrange 90FPS Extra.
UFO Extra 90FPS
UFO Lunatic

I'll never pull any of these off.

FINNALY, I 1cc'd Touhou 13 Ten Desires. Touhou 7 Perfect Cherry Blossom is next! Wish me good luck! I'll need it
I always get way to close to finishing it. I always die on Yuyuko's last spell on the real game, but when I pratice it it is the easiest thing ever... Oh well, I need to practice moar.
EDIT: BTW, if you donwload the replay, be aware that I fail miserably a Toyota no Miko and yet I still defeat her in my last life and bomb.  No need to tell me that I sucked.

I wish you good luck on your quest... Especially if you never 1cc'd Touhou before. You'll feel your euforia flowing in you blood rewarding every second of practice you did on your way to it. AND MAKE SURE YOU PLAY EPIC MUSIC ONCE YOU ACHIEVE SAID THING

1CC SA Normal
1CC PoFV Normal

Definitely true. I was soaring above cloud nine when I legitimately defeated Remilia the first time. And again when I finally did it on hard. ON TO LUNATIC

Yeah I always have bad luck on Stage 3 or 4 (Ten Desires)
The only one I get to the final stage is on TH 09 and I get curb stomped by Eiki and the stage before that Komachi trolls me.

There is absolutely nothing wring on going bad against Yoshika. ZUN was probably drunker than usual when he progammed her bullet paterns. No seriously WHY DOES SHE SPAWN BULLETS IN YOUR FACE WHEN YOU TRY TO GO JUST A LITTLE BIT AGGRESSIVE ARGH
EDIT: Just a tip on TH9 PoFV: On Stage 7~9, it's impossible to win the first round. They're always a automiss. There was once where Aya litteraly stayed on her last life for 1 minute and a half while I would constantly spew bullshite at her without her even flinching.

And this is why every time Yoshika, Seiga, or Futo make me lose a life or game over, I imagine myself busting in the Mausoleum and flipping over a table in the Taoist faction place then storm out like a deranged person. Trufax.

Given today's performance in PCB, a Lunatic no-bomb no-border seems like it would be only a matter of time.
I really imagine that in the foreseeable future I could get a perfect run.

no. please don't start spouting lies if you know no better. every stage aside from stage 9 has a timer it's just 3+ minutes for stage 6-8. stage 9 can also be no missed, but only with a strong character (e.g aya or medicine) or with huge amounts of luck. but my point stands. you are wrong.

my current goal would be IN easy finalA world record wirh youmu. old obsolete strats - even I can beat that.

My point stands tough, you can't effectively win the first round under normal circumstances.
Not that I really care tough, PoFV is an abomination.

it doesn't really stand. YOU can't win the first round under normal circumstances. there are other, better people than you who can. aya for example is the easiest stage 7 whom even I can beat pretty regularly on round 1.
and PoFV is awesome. psssht. but opinions, so eh

I'm talking through the view of a normal human being that uses the default characters, if you haven't noticed. And I do realise that 35% of the Touhou community can't get past Stage 1 on easy, 47.5% Think Ultra mode is too easy and the rest are normal people.
But I don't really want ot get into a discussion on how people who casually play the game can't win the first round. Nor why I think PoFV is a terrible vomit inducing bad game

What are you suddenly throwing those numbers around for? And where do you get them from? Your posts doesn't make much sense at all.
