I feel no shame whatsoever in stealing this from donut, as I ended off the last thread with a Virtue of Wind God Lunatic Capture. :V
Anyway, we're now over two thousand posts of awesome things of Touhou - keep 'em coming, people!
Last thread: http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=1016.0

Not really much of an accomplishment but I think I just worked out why I keep dying when trying to time out VoWG Hard. The wave that keeps killing me is that part where two blue or teal waves close in on each other and at the same time overlap with a different set of waves, and for some reason I feel the need to try to micrododge through that clusterfuck rather than taking the easy way around. Maybe if I fix this I can get my timeout soon. :V

Completed SA Hard in 3 continues!
...
So yeah, no 1cc. >_>

Completed MoF lunatic with like 20 continues.....the cool part is, now I can screw around with VoWG on lunatic.
Couldn't beat stage 4 before, barely beat it here.
Stage 6 wasn't that bad as most bombing strats which I've used on Hard worked on Lunatic and VoWG was a matter of bombing whenever walled once it starts getting hard :V

Whenever I post something like this for me I feel like a troll. :V
-
Great Stage run...horrible Mugetu run...excellent Gengetu run. Lost on the last phase.
Seriously, got to her 4/1, and then I rammed Mugetu's blue lines 4 times. FOUR! But it looks like I've got the trick down for Gengetu's fourth phase, and then it was luck and reading for the fifth and almost the sixth. SO CLOSE!
-
Hilarity ensues when attempting to time out Nue's last Spell Card. Picture: the last phase, but with bullets going twice as fast.
Also, UFO Extra clear, but that's not really an accomplishment for me so yeah :V
For the Red UFOs, shotgunning with SanaeB means that you can basically stay in the center with minimal risk. Damn that was easier than I thought.
-
Oh, I thought I posted about the timeout phase before. It's absolutely ridiculous.
And by that I mean amazing.
-
Oh, I thought I posted about the timeout phase before. It's absolutely ridiculous.
You know what has to be done.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
FIRST ENGLISH SPEAKING PLAYER TO 1CC UFO ON HARD WITH REIMU-A!.
Well... it's either that or someone I don't know about has done it... maybe Phar...
YESSSS! ALL THAT WORK PAID OFF! I CAN HAVE FUN WITH UFO AGAIN! I CAN STOP HATING NUE! (My last 1cc was ruined because I died to stage 6 Nue)
Now if you excuse me, I have sweat to wipe off my keyboard and coffee to drink... cause coffee pwns the sh** out of tea.
-
Oh, I thought I posted about the timeout phase before. It's absolutely ridiculous.

Oh yes. I'm just waiting until I beat it legitly first.
-
...I'm not sure if this is precisely an accomplishment, but... I 1cc'd LLS. The reason I'm not sure if it's an accomplishment is because I BARELY managed it. On Easy. Gah...
-
Hilarity ensues when attempting to time out Nue's last Spell Card. Picture: the last phase, but with bullets going twice as fast.
I've been meaning to try that, since I figured that there would be a timeout phase. Never got around to actually trying it though.
-
Got annoyed with VoWG so gave up on that for a while and tried some UFO Extra. Got my first captures of Nue's 7th, 8th and final cards, which makes all Nue cards captured. :D
The only Extra cards I have left to capture now are Koishi's Genetics, Philosophy and Subterranean Rose. I think that's my next target... although I imagine Genetics will take a while. @_@
-
Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HH9KVT-6U-Q&fmt=18) of VoWG capture now up.
Also got to Gengetu's last phase again. I really need help with phases 2 and 4, those kill me WAY TOO MUCH.
-
phase 2
The corners work wonders. Just move into the corner that Gengetu is closer to and you should be fine in 98% of cases.
phase 4
Crap, I forgot what this is err... was this the one with the Spark? Or the one that comes before it?
-
Yes! LLS Normal 1cc with three lives left!

Align yourself with the center of the casting point (Gengetu's right hand). Then it's a matter of moving to one side and back in a set time frame.

Half of MoF (the card) away from my second 1cc ever. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4670) Also, that was my second time past Aya, and everything past Day the Sea Split was mostly blind, so I'm certainly not going to complain about even just seeing the final card. (Also hadn't capped Bad Fortune in ages, so that alone made me feel good, as pathetic as that probably is.)
-
(Also hadn't capped Bad Fortune in ages, so that alone made me feel good, as pathetic as that probably is.)

About the Deathwave before the Gengetu Spark:
Actually, it's possible to only move once right/left to completely dodge it. It's hard though, as the room for error is pretty big. Well, that's how I did it because I completely suck at doing the other way.

I just got my first capture of Subterranean Rose, which leaves only one Extra card in the series I have yet to capture.
Goddamnit, Genetics.

OH YES.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o142/Sapzdude/Geneticscapture.jpg)
Screw you, Genetics of the Subconscious. All Extra cards in the series captured.
On top of that, that was the best run of SA Extra I've ever done (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4671). 0 bombs, 2 deaths, captured everything minus Bumper Crop and Philosophy. Hell yeah. :D
Hmm, what to do next...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZgThVS62Eg
Does it look faster than the usual last phase? :V
And captured Undefined Darkness(AKA black cloud clusterfuck)
Only the survival and Nue's final are still uncaptured.

As I've said before, it's a lot faster than the "usual" last phase.
Inb4donutsayssomethingaboutgrt.
-
NOTHING is as fast as GRT. GRT is like the hardest shmup attack that isn't a solid wall ever and it's only fitting that a goddess given
human angel demon form should possess it and HNNNNNNNNNNNNNG.
In other news, that actually looks...fun. Fun and Nue does not compute. X_X
-
In other news, that actually looks...fun. Fun and Nue does not compute. X_X
Pssshhffft. Nue is a lot more fun than, say, Koishi or Suwako. Especially Suwako.
-
SanaeB takes all the fun away from Nue. Red and Rainbow UFO SCs become ridiculously trivial.
Also, I forgot to mention that I spent around something like 3 hours just looking at Syou's first SC.
...I think I'll have to slow it down and see what I can get. I don't like the fact that I get randomly walled, clipped by an offscreen bullet, bullets overlapping and I can't see shit, etc.
-
As of now, I have cleared UFO Extra with every shot type. I also 1cced SA with MarisA today.
Speaking of which, why do I never see any videos of people beating Koishi with anyone but ReimuA?
-
Because everybody other than Reimu A sucks. Reimu B may as well not even do damage, Reimu C's bomb is useless against an extra boss and does the whole "move once and all your firepower is diverted lol", and Marisa's hitbox makes the stage a nightmare like the rest of the game. Really, there's no reason to use anyone but Reimu A unless you want to challenge yourself.

FUCK YEAH, VoWG LUNATIC CAPTURE!
The replay crashed MoF though, and it has the bug where the frame rate is inverted (0=60, 60=0) because I saved it twice; the first time I saved it, I put Na2O instead of Na2O2. >_>
Edit: Alright, the replay counter for the replay alternates between 255 and 15, except for on spellcards, which are a steady 0. >_>
-
Because everybody is doing it :
Nothing done : HRtP, MS
Easy Cleared : PoDD, LLS, PoFV, UFO, UNL
Normal Cleared : SoEW, EoSD, PCB, IN, SA, IaMP, SWR
Hard Cleared : MoF
Extra Cleared : EoSD, PCB (both), IN, PoFV (Komachi only)
Current goals : SA Extra, UFO Normal. Maybe try HRtP and MS again.
-
I noticed that nobody that posted has 1cc'd PoDD on Normal yet (except for Donut and Baity). This makes me feel accomplished. :D
Now to 1cc Normal the other Touhou games...
-
Yeah, as far as I know, me, Trancehime, and Ruro are the only three people outside Japan to have 1cc'd PoDD lunatic (though I don't doubt there are others). That's because it's HARD.
-
@donut: Considering Nue's last card is made of 110% clipdeath, I don't think "fun" is the right word for it.
Also I'm pretty sure GRT wasn't meant to be possible at all. (You want the bullet clear bonus? How about all of these bullets?)
I will grant that Nue is more fun than Suwako and Koishi, which isn't difficult. That said, that doesn't imply that Nue is by and large "fun". (Her nonspells aren't bad...)
Seconding that ReimuA far and away the best shot type in SA. MarisA and MarisaB trade shot range for a massive reduction in firepower. Everyone else has a hard time doing more damage than their base shots.
@BaitySM: I thought Shou's first card was static?
-
@BaitySM: I thought Shou's first card was static?
At a first glance, it appears to be static (same "flow" of bullets, same boss movements, etc.). Upon a closer inspection, it appears to be either aimed, or using a "set pattern with deviations" (i.e. BS due to the claustrophobic nature of Lunatic). At this point, I'm willing to go with the latter option. It may as well be put under "read this pattern quickly, dodge and be praying". Though, having a general idea on how the pattern works does help (a bit).
The only problem is... I can't read the bullets fast enough. And that's coming from a person who can consistently take on "VoWG" lunatic with ReimuA. Clearly, UFO Lunatic is THE kick in the balls for 99.99% of players.
-
FUCK YEAH, VoWG LUNATIC CAPTURE!
Congrats!
Not a huge accomplishment, but I just tried PoDD for the first time. 1cc Easy on my first attempt, my only loss was to Yumemi because all the gigantic crosses that spawn on you took me by surprise. <_< Still, considering it was Easy there was an absolute shitstorm of bullets flying about. Also, Mima vs. Mima was a very '...what' moment.
Time to try on Normal. :V
-
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4678
My poor UFO grabbing aside (all but two were multi colored), this is exactly what I want to happen in a real run. UFO stage 5 lunatic, one death on the stage (I've seen two ways to get through the final part of the stage, and both rely on luck to work), and one on Syou (spinning laserrrrrrrrrrs).
-
list of 1ccs? ok!
Easy: Pretty much everything
Normal: UFO
...:(
-

Wait. You can 1cc UFO Normal but not the others?
-
Finally did a decent UFO extra clear. Now that I have red UFOs down, Nue's pretty easy...outside of Rainbow UFOs and her survival card, and even then for the later I'm starting to see how I'm supposed to dodge through those damned walls.
@Sapz: Damn you, I still haven't done that. Genetics is the only card in SA I haven't captured that isn't a Satori card.
-
Damn, having no time for Touhou sucks :P
I'm very, very, very slowly making progress on UFO lunatic, but at this rate I'll get my 1CC around when the next game comes out :V
-
Damn, having no time for Touhou sucks :P
This. Precisely this. :/
Also Donut, Genetics is not that hard and significantly easier than...most SA Lunatic cards, actually. It requires you to keep track of Koishi's movements as she dances around the screen, ReimuA and a bit of skill. imho, it's quite overrated in difficulty.
-
Mmm hmm. You know what's also not hard? SoEW lunatic. In a similar fashion to why almost none of you have done that, I don't want to go through a boring unfun extra stage just to have a chance at a card that loves to clip death me. I give it an earnest effort every time I play, but that's not often.
-
Damn, having no time for Touhou sucks :P
I guess this applies to me as well. Though, I have a 3-day weekend off school right now, so I'll try to accomplish something in the following days. :-\
-
I've worked out Syou's 2nd non-spell.
Images to come; you'll see immediately how it works once I show you.

You'll see (almost) everything lining up pretty nicely. Being able to time this out with only 2 deaths is really something.
EDIT: Fixed a replica link. Yes, I use 2 hosts, is that a problem?
-
HAH! YES! I DID IT! FUCK YOU KOISHI. GENETICS OF THE SUBCONSCIOUS CAPTURE. ALL NON-SATORI CARDS IN SA CAPTURED. NEVER AGAIN. NE-V-ER A-GA-IN.
-
2cc'd EoSD Hard. Could be a 1cc if I wouldn't completely fuck up on Sakuya and it seems more possible than Mountain of Clipdeath. And more fun.
And Remilia seems easier than on Normal.
Except for Scarlet Meister, that thing is batshit :V
Genetics=timeout card. Best I've done was 1 bomb....
-
Awesome, 1cced SoEW Hard on my first try. The fact that Mima drops a extra life and bomb proves that there is a merciful god in heaven.
I think SoEW and LLS are the only games that I have less trouble on Hard then Extra. I wonder what High Score boards would look like for those 2 games, but I think almost no one wants to scorerun those anyway :V
Now, off to try to 1ccing PoDD Normal! Better not be Mima again for the 3rd-To-Last battle, god dammit D:
-
1CCD SA ON NORMAL HELL YEAH
It only took what, three months? :V
-
Wait. You can 1cc UFO Normal but not the others?
yeah, it's weird how that works, isn't it?
i almost 1cced MoF Normal a while ago, though. got about half way through Kanako's last spell.
-

UFO and SA are the only ones I haven't managed to beat on Normal. Then again, I really didn't like SA's gameplay system, so I didn't care all that much. :P
I'm going to work on Lotus Land Story Extra Stage today, and I'm going to consider it an accomplishment if I can even get to Gengetu. ;)
-
Getting to Gengetu is harder than Gengetu herself IMO.

And after two really bad (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=1656.msg81075#msg81075) rounds (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=1656.msg81089#msg81089)...
(http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll65/momijitsukuyomi/revenge.png)
Gonna stick with ReimuA from now on.
Also, is it just me, or is Mugetu's final pattern the most hilariously easy thing in the stage or what?

I finaly figured out how to get through Icicle fall in EoSD normal.

I missed the screenshot, but I got to Gengetu's fourth pattern with the lines and megalaser. How fucking cheap is that? xD
-
Wait. You can 1cc UFO Normal but not the others?
yeah, it's weird how that works, isn't it?
i almost 1cced MoF Normal a while ago, though. got about half way through Kanako's last spell.
Funny thing is. UFO has the hardest game on Normal, and MoF the easiest
-
2cc'd EoSD Hard. Could be a 1cc if I wouldn't completely fuck up on Sakuya and it seems more possible than Mountain of Clipdeath. And more fun.
And Remilia seems easier than on Normal.
Except for Scarlet Meister, that thing is batshit :V
Genetics=timeout card. Best I've done was 1 bomb....
I'm with you about giving up on MoF..
I got to Remilia and Yuyuko on hard, once each game... And I think I'll try those before ever touching MoF again.

Well, it looks like I'm not the only one who utterly despises MoF. Good to know. After I tried Hard mode... Well, my last post in the RAGE thread sums it up pretty well <.<;
-
Funny thing is. UFO has the hardest game on Normal, and MoF the easiest
Uh I'm not sure if we've been playing the same game but to me UFO is the second easiest with IN being the easiest. SA hardest.
-
Finally, MoF hard 1cc. Not a big deal in comparison with other stuff I achieved in far, far less time, but the cliptastic nature of MoF meant I almost never tried it more than once or twice in a row out of pure RAGE (including lots of ragequits after dying to *Minoriko*).
Now, after putting some actual EFFORT into it (and breaking one of my keyboard's feet in the proccess by pulling an Unzan on the ESC key to restart after some random early clipdeath - damn you MoF), I pulled off a DECENT run, nothing spectacular, and arrived at stage 6 with SIX lives to spare. Then I just bombed my way through most of Kanako because, really, what an annoying fight.
-
Got an MS Easy 1cc, three lives left. (I'd been trying Normal earlier and failing miserably upon reaching Shinki ._. )
-
EoSD stage 1 and 2 are pretty much warmups.
On MoF you need to restart 7 times+ to get a no death run to get past.
EoSD.....I've captured all of China's cards, most of ReimuB Patchy's, all Sakuya's boss cards, Young Demon Lord and Vampire Illusion....
MoF? Anything from stage 2 on(hell, even some of Hina's cards) makes me go HOLY SHIT I ACTUALLY CAPTURED IT
Nitori can fuck off. Stupid midboss card, retarded claustrophobic first card and Extending Arm is just WTF.
Aya can fuck off three times along with Momiji and the entire stage.
Sanae needs to get thrown into a tub of sulphuric acid.
Kanako isn't that bad....unless you enter with 2 lives and 2 power. Then again, most of her cards aren't capture friendly.
All in all, MoF isn't easy as it is more of a SA/UFO type than EoSD/PCB/IN.
-
I don't know why Genetics of the Subconscious had this big barrier that stopped people capping it. As long as you go in with 3 or more power, it's a fairly simple memorisation card that just requires you to be able to dodge stuff you see coming.
Meh.
My list:
EoSD: Hard 1cc, Extra Clear, QED cap.
PCB: Lunatic 1cc, Extra/Phantasm Clear, all problem cards capped.
IN: Hard 1cc w/ Border Team, Hard 1cc w/o Border Team, 217/222.
PofV: Normal 1cc w/ some guys.
Mof: Lunatic 1cc, Extra Clear, VoWG cap.
SA: Hard 1cc, Extra Clear.
UFO: Normal 1cc (waiting for Eng. Patch to hard 1cc), Extra Clear.
-
Meh, I guess I'll do this now too.
Easy 1cc on every game except HRtP, SoEW, PoDD, and PoFV.
Normal 1cc on LLS, EoSD, PCB, and MoF
Still haven't beaten any extras, though I strangely find Flandre to be the easiest of what I've tried, and haven't 1cc'd any hard modes either. I've reached stage 6 on PCB Hard before though.
-
Posting a Japanese replay.
UFO S6 Lunatic No Deaths (http://replay.royalflare.net/replay/th12_udb328.rpy) (Direct DL Link)
I was rather surprised by his take on "Magic Butterfly"UFO S6 SC2
Now I'm going to try a No Deaths run.
I keep dying with bombs in stock what is going on? ;___;
EDIT: During "LFO", Byakuren has no hitbox. That makes 2 SCs and the last non-spell.
That... was unimpressive. 1 death run, but bombing everything away is really feels like I'm cheating or something. I should probably go for a no-bombs run instead. That'll be more crippling.
-
PoDD 1cc Hard with Yumemi. Score was 33,354,260 (I don't know if this is good or bad :V).
I'll try Lunatic later, if only to see how bad it is according to Donut. :P
-
Perfect Stage 6... Hard.
Ah.
Ha.
Ha.
Ha.
Ha...
No replay because I want it to be a closed replay, i.e. wait for a video.
-
Finally beat UFO extra without being on my last life.
I swear Green UFO is still one of the most annoying cards in the series though.
-

It's not as hard when I've decided to always go to the edges.
Blue UFO with low power on the other hand.....ugh.
-
EoSD stage 1 and 2 are pretty much warmups.
Wait until you try Lunatic. :V I don't remember ever hating a single stage as much as EoSD Stage 2 Lunatic, which ended 9/10 of my 1cc attempts. Goddamn Cirno shotgun, Hailstorm... hell, even Perfect Freeze killed me pretty often.
I don't know why Genetics of the Subconscious had this big barrier that stopped people capping it. As long as you go in with 3 or more power, it's a fairly simple memorisation card that just requires you to be able to dodge stuff you see coming.
Meh.
It's... in theory, it's not really that difficult. A mostly static pattern which follows you every once in a while, big gaps between the bullets, etc. But in practice, it kind of makes you panic, I guess. The pattern is extremely strange and intimidating; you have to balance wanting to be as far away from Koishi as possible to be able to see and dodge the really fast bullets, and actually getting under her to do damage, which is difficult when she moves long distances in weird directions, on top of which she often hangs about at the bottom of the screen where you can't really damage her easily. It wouldn't be so bad with some other shot types like Marisa B, but since people tend towards using Reimu A since it makes almost everything else easier, it becomes pretty hellish due to the lack of range, especially considering how long its health bar is. :V Also, 'grats to Donut on the capture.
On another note, I just capped Shou's Green Bars card that I can't remember the name of on Hard. That just leaves LFO as the only UFO Hard card I've yet to capture. Hopefully it won't take too many attempts...
-
In retrospect, Genetics wasn't that hard. It was just...that you had to spend seven minutes...for a single...attempt...Asdfkhasfjkeshmjadka sorry I blacked out.
Also, surprisingly I only have five spell cards in UFO I have yet to capture on lunatic:
Dipper Creeping Close (Murasa's survival card)
SPINNING LAZORZ
Undefined Darkness
Rainbow UFOs
Nightmare in Heiankyou
If I actually get off my butt and unlock SA stage 4 with all shot types, and practice enough, I could actually easily get to the point of capturing every spell card in the series, since Satori cards are the only thing in SA left (granted that's 15 spell cards), and I'm sure I'll get the remaining UFO cards in time.
-
Looking at everyone's 1CC lists makes me feel ashamed. My list:
1CC Easy: EoSD, PoFV, SA
1CC Normal: PCB, IN
I should be able to 1CC Normal UFO in a few days though - my best is Hiziri's second to last card.
-
On Rainbow UFOs, stand under one UFO stream(I prefer the left one) and shoot them just as they spawn....worked for me, shottype shouldn't matter much :V
Tried EoSD lunatic, surprisingly even captured some cards.....captured all Cirno's cards, Rainbow Wind Chime and China's 2 final ones....
Stage 1 lunatic is definitely easier than MoF stage 1 hard. Maiden's heart whatever can go die in a fire. It's STAGE 1, STOP WALLING ME.
Stage 2 though.....well, it's lunatic, what do you expect :V
Tried EoSD Hard again, failed at Scarlet Meister.
I bomb a little too much....or Sakuya walls me too much with her nonspells.
I've managed to pull a perfect China battle this time(not stage).
Patchouli's stage usually takes atleast a life from me and 1-2 more on Patchy herself, I enter stage 5 with 5 lives, lost 2 lives, entered stage 6 with 3 lives 0 bombs, died on Sakuya's opener, bombed Remilia's opener 2 times, Young Demon Lord decides to piss on me and put me in the most ridiculous spaces, death+bomb on Needle Mountain, Vampire Illusion isn't nice either, 0 bombs 1 life vs Scarlet Meister, game over.
About Scarlet Meister.....in which directions should I dodge? I've noticed that sometimes it walls me completely and sometimes gives me some space to dodge.
Right-left-right-left? Or opposite?
-
PoDD 1cc Hard with Yumemi. Score was 33,354,260 (I don't know if this is good or bad :V).
I'll try Lunatic later, if only to see how bad it is according to Donut. :P
Lunatic is the only way to make PoDD and PoFV fun. They're too easy/boring otherwise. PoDD Lunatic is absolutely insane, but it's a blast to play as well. I haven't beaten it on Lunatic yet, though.
-
1CC UFO EASY FINALLY.
Bleh reached Byakuren with almost max lives then started dying left and right to stupid stuff. I was afraid of losing the 1CC so I started bomb spamming near the end. Derp.
-
Yes, PoDD lunatic is the only way to go. Hard is so slow...I actually didn't like the phantasmagoria games at all, and now...er, actually PoFV still is a PoS, but PoDD grew on me a lot while I was grinding its lunatic.
And @Bananamatic: Scarlet Meister is considered to be the single hardest spell card in the series, so I wouldn't put too much effort into capturing it on lunatic. Remilia's movements in it are random, and the strategy completely changes depending on where she moves. In the 270 or so times I've played that stage, I've captured Scarlet Meister twice.
-
Hard, not Lunatic :V
I can do Remilia pretty consistently with the 4 lives that practice mode offers....
-
I can't wait until you 1cc hard, say "I can do this! =D", try lunatic and fail to get past stage 1. I'm dead serious when I say the difference between hard and lunatic is that big.
Haha, no kidding. Just tried Lunatic and managed to reduce Stage 3 Reimu's health to 1 before I Game Over'd. Even gaining 1 Extend as early as Stage 3 didn't help much, and both players reaching Lv 16 at Stage 1 was frightening. ;)
The whole time I was playing that, I can really feel my adrenaline rushing.
Considering that I've never touched any modes outside of Easy in all the Touhou games (with the exception of PoDD, TEoSD, and PCB), I don't think I'm ready for Lunatic yet. :V
-
Yes, PoDD lunatic is the only way to go. Hard is so slow...I actually didn't like the phantasmagoria games at all, and now...er, actually PoFV still is a PoS, but PoDD grew on me a lot while I was grinding its lunatic.
;_;
You just don't appreciate using Spell Attack to clear bullets in PoFV. Admit it. You also don't like scoring, so it's natural that you don't use Spell Attack to score (and Counter-Summon, etc.)

This is actually the main reason I keep getting hit in PoDD normal; I've played PoFV too often. I see a wave of bullets, charge a level 2 attack and release it, then have a 'wait wh-SHIT wrong game' moment and get hit for trying to dodge too late.
-
You're right: I DON'T appreciate having to essentially bomb in a series that's all about skill and dodging. The most fun I've ever had in that game was choosing Aya and watching the AI crumble as I beat lunatic my first try.
-

Unskillful use of bombs results in a quick death. There's skill, but it's a "different" form I guess. Dodging still exists. You don't have to bombspam to win. I can prove this as well :V
Just give me a week or so, I can't devote any time at this point.
Been processing a while;
UFO Stage 6 Hard No Deaths No Bombs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXWsM4rHREg)
Also, I'm well aware I messed up the UFO chaining; that doesn't bother me at all seeing as I was going for something different.
-
Oh wow, 1cced SA Hard. 0 life left.
That was... less difficult than I thought it would be.
I had deaths everywhere since stage 2, really should've learned how to do Parsee midboss non-card because I died there. :/
Can't believe I only died once on stage 5 though :D, which was on Possessed Fairy >_>
Since I had only 2 Power, so I couldn't clear the card before the fairies come to the bottom, so I had to do another rotation, then just as I successfully rotated around Orin, ONE STRAY PELLET BULLET JUST HIT ME (This should be in the RAGE thread?), there was almost nothing else around because I wasn't killing the fairies.
-
Hmph. I dislike this Next emulator. Not only does it make the music sound worse, but it slows down too. 6.62% slowdown for a LLS lunatic 1cc. Oh well, a clear's a clear...I guess.
WHY DOES ANEX86 FLICKER AND JILT AROUND LIKE THIS?! IT RAN PERFECTLY WHEN I FIRST GOT THE COMPUTER! TT_TT
I've worked out Syou's 2nd non-spell.
Images to come; you'll see immediately how it works once I show you.

You'll see (almost) everything lining up pretty nicely. Being able to time this out with only 2 deaths is really something.

Sorry, I'm stupid. How does this help me not get lazor'd?

Sorry for the double post, but HOLY SHIT I JUST BEAT LUNATIC BYAKUREN WITH ONLY ONE DEATH.

I wish I knew another one myself D:
Trying to record Lunatic Yumeko at 60 FPS is looking like it's impossible.
I got a second (SanaeB) "Radiant Treasure Gun"UFO S5 SC2 capture, so that's a plus. It's getting easier and easier it seems... perhaps practice is paying off after all.
Also, I tried to perfect S5 Hard but nooooo~, "Greatest Treasure"UFO S5 SC1 has currently denied me of all perfect runs so far. Either that, or magically dying on the 2nd half of the stage due to a random clipdeath.
EDIT: Typo, etc.
-
Really? That's disappointing. I've heard there are other PC-98 emulators, but considering I needed help to run Next, I doubt I'd be able to run them, even if I could. D: It's truly saddening...I just wanna play PC-98 without slowdown or flicker (or madness inducing music I mean WTF Alice Maestra is supposed to be soft and sweet).
Anyway, I'm currently making a video of my Byakuren fight, since I doubt I'll be pulling off a no deaths run in the near future. I'll edit this post with a link once it's ready. <3
EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySvL76e-rCM

Took full continues for each, lol (so a 4cc and a 5cc I think?), but cleared EoSD and PCB Easy today. (Baby steps!)
Resurrection Butterfly was actually kind of amusing. (Wish I could have saved a replay to watch it, if only to confirm the exact order of events, but... continues.)
Went in 0/1
Got a border right near the start
Somehow managed to dodge the first wave of reds (I desperately need ot learn how to deal with those...)
Border auto-collected enough point items after the wave I got another life
Bomb, die
Bomb, another border, bomb, win!
So I guess that puts me at, for all games:
HRtP-MS: Um... I think I poked at them all once each?
EoSD: 4cc Easy
PCB: 5cc Easy
IN: 1cc Easy
PoFV: 1cc Easy all characters (bar Komachi and Shikieiki because I still need to beat Extra to unlock them...)
MoF: half of MoF (the card) shy of 1cc Easy
SA: Reached stage 5 boss Easy
UFO: ... reached stage 3 boss Easy. Damnit.

I should rephrase my statement. I wish I knew another one myself that worked properly.
Oh, and there may be a... method of lowering percussion volume. Since I can't pin down the channel that alters (the percussion's) volume, I decided "Why not increase the volume of the melody instead?" Results are nice (IMO), but the recording output may sound louder; which isn't that much of a problem I would imagine. And for playing, just turn the volume down on your speakers :V
Alright, so here's what you do. Open emulator (T98-Next). Click on the Device Manager tab. Highlight *Sound86.nhw and click on Setting. Increase the Inner Audio Volume of the FM channel to your suited number (experiment a bit). What this would do overall is increase the volume of the "melodic part" (sorry, really a layman with the terms here) while keeping the "percussion part"'s volume the same. Relatively however, the "melodic part" will be more dominant, which is your desired effect.
Hope that helps...
-
Whoa. I think...I've got LFO down. I just did a terrible run to celebrate my best run yet (video up now!), died on nearly every attack, entered LFO with 2 lives and 3.00 power, and I captured it. It appears I've greatly overestimated this card. Essentially this is like Hourai Jewel, but without the extremely low margin of error in changing directions. It's micromemorizable as long as you deal the same amount of damage to Byakuren every time.
-
HELL YEAH! UFO Stage 6 Lunatic unlocked for practice mode! :D
*still shaking*
The final run was so awesome. First because it was the second time for me to capture Cloudy Way in Purple (ok, it went easy on me, but it was a capture anyway), second because, despite me having spent a total of more than 7 unsuccessful hours grinding this single stage spread over the course of three days, I had a full spare life left in the end, and third because I almost captured Friggin' Saucer! During the red phase I used a bomb which I don't think was neccessary, but I wanted to be shure to beat it, not noticing that I had one spare life left. :V
I really like that card. It is not as awesome as VoWG, but it is still awesome.
...and it uses a similar mechanism as one of my Sariel cards.
Also, before that, I had my best run of stage 5 lunatic yet, meaning by the end of the Shou battle I also had a full spare life left.
*goes away in joy*
-
Managed to capture LFO Hard, which makes all UFO Hard spell cards captured. :V
Huh... to be honest, I may as well attempt to capture every card in the series. The only things left are cards from SA Lunatic, UFO Lunatic and random assorted IN cards I haven't unlocked and Scarlet Meister/Gensokyo Lunatic but the spell card screen doesn't know that. That reminds me, actually; is there any way of unlocking Lunatic 6B for practice without actually having to 1cc the entire game? Because... that might take me a while. I suck at IN. <_<
-
so i hadn't played PCB seriously in a few weeks, so i thought i'd try to 1cc Normal.
i actually finished it, and with 6 lives left.
not sure how i did that, really.

Just scraped a Hard 1cc of IN with Reimu solo (0/0 most of the way through Hourai Jewel, that was pretty scary <_<) and also capped Blazing Star. I spent about 40 attempts doing it the absolute wrong way and then capped it on my third attempt or so after realizing there was an easier way of doing it. For Last Words, that just leave Yukari's and Yuyuko's to unlock and capture.

-
I just 1CCed UFO Normal and managed my first capture of Shou's spinning laser card. I managed to get the 1CC primarily through major bomb use on cards that I tend to die on, meaning that I didn't actually capture many cards past stage 2. Replay here (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4697). Now I just need to wait for the English patch so I can read the ending.

(http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i293/Arcengal/MoFLunaticclear.jpg)
Am I?
It feels like a bit of an anticlimax. :-\ Every part that made for reasonably exciting dodging, I just bombed. The most exciting part was an *almost* capture of Secretly Inherited Art of Danmaku on 0.00 power, but I got clipped right before it happened. And I died on Yasaka's Divine Wind. And I failed VoWG. Again. Ultimately, same story as when I beat Hard; I felt as if I didn't *really* win, since I only capped 5 cards.
Then again, I suppose not every game can have such a breath-taking finale as Perfect Cherry Blossom that makes you feel like a deity when you clear it.
-
Finally
After almost 3 weeks playing this damned game, I have finally beaten MoF Hard!

Yes, you are. ;) It's not like every second guy is a Lunatic-level player. Keep some perspective; most people have a lot of trouble with Normal. :V Congrats on the clear too. My run went much the same way, bombs used right and left. I have to disagree about PCB, though; I find VoWG to be a much more entertaining finale than Resurrection Butterfly, it's far more intense and interesting to dodge IMO.

I honestly don't think I've seen anything as amazing as PCB's ending. It's not just the spellcard itself; it's the fight with Yuyuko, the resulting explosion, the sound of a border in complete silence...
A small proverb floats onto the screen, then fades...
*SPELL DECLARATION NOISE*
*CARD NAME*
*FUCKING EPIC MUSIC*
And the moment the music changes right as the card ends is just raw ecstasy if you've actually captured it: dodge dodge dodge do...I...I won? HOLY CRAP I WON YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS
I think the magic of VoWG was lost a little by my 155 attempts at it, but it's still awesome fun.

On the bright side, it's not UFO Extra stage. I hate that goddamn thing.

@Arcengal: I don't think anyone has ever been satisfied with their first MoF lunatic 1cc due to how many bombs you end up using. Still, it's a start to 1cc it.
@Slaves: Phantasm's stage is just extra's stage...but harder. Also, Yukari is actually easier than Ran at points.

Yeah, after countless Yukari runs I've went into Charming Siege like into Xanadu.....fastest death ever :V
-
Name your english PCB as th07.exe and the one you're using as something else.
not doing anything.
send me screenshots or something, i'm completely hopeless at this kind of stuff.
-
in your PCB folder you probably have th07.exe and th07e.exe
so when you want to run the english version, you run th07e.exe
vpatch.exe opens th07.exe
so if you want vpatch to use your english version, rename th07.exe to th07j.exe and then rename th07e.exe to th07.exe
-
duh
i was adding .exe to the end of the names. it works now, thanks.

Speaking of which, I've been meaning to ask...anyone have any idea where Kefit is?
I hear he quit. :( Shame, I owe my Touhou skills partially to him.
-
Ah, that sucks. I learned how to do a lot of spell cards thanks to Kefit's replays on YouTube.
-
"So it's my third try at the phantasm stage, this is gonna go pretty bad..."
*Ran's first capped*
That was easy..
*Yukari's 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, capped*
Run ends on Humans and Youkai.
Yeaaaaa... nothing more to say here...
-
HRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
GENGETU CLEAR!
With two lives in stock, no less. Mostly because I did her second and third phases right this time.
-
After raising my starting lives to max I went through IN Final A route to unlock cards and such. During the run I saw Marisa's Lunatic last spell for the first time and capped it on my first attempt, so that was pretty cool. :V So that unlocked Flawless Saigyouji Nirvana, capped that on my 28th attempt (I expected it to be harder, actually, considering how everyone says it's really difficult; IMO it was quite a lot easier than Resurrection Butterfly 80%).
So, that unlocked Profound Field which is the only Last Word I haven't capped yet - it's taking me quite a while since I'm doing it blind, having never seen it before (never seen anything after the fifth wave, at any rate <_<) and so far the furthest I've gotten is the ninth wave, on my 25th or so attempt. Errr... how many waves are there? There can't be more than ten, right? :-\

Profound Field is 10 waves. Conveniently, I uploaded my second capture of that card. It really isn't that hard when you figure out the patterns. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKg6j7Lu9bk&fmt=18)
You know Yukari's final spell in PCB? Yeah, I've got that memorized at this point thanks to this card. :p
Also, you don't even have to move for Yuyuko's Last Word. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXC1fgIqIyU&fmt=22#t=3m28s) :P

Kefit said Touhou and SSB64 was his gaming love, so I doubt he quit. I wonder what happened to FallenAngelVeronica though.

V left the Internet and took everything with her - including her YouTube account.

What a shame. I learned a lot from Kefit, FallenAngelVeronica, and Drayen's Youtube videos. (come to think of it, I think I have Drayen's complete IN score.dat for spell practice... :-X)
-
Profound Field captured on my 43rd attempt, and as such all Last Words captured, hell yeah. That took about an hour... could have been better, but then Fantasy Heaven took at least four times that long (and almost ten times that many attempts >_<). Thanks for the vid, Matsuri, helped me quite a lot with the ninth wave. :)
So, that just leaves 22 assorted random Lunatic cards until I've capped everything in IN. Maybe I can get this finished up by tomorrow... thank God for spell practice. :V
-
HELLZ YEAH.
Over the weekend, I 1cc'd IN Lunatic, have all spellcards in IN captured save Imperishable Shooting and a few final stage Lunatic cards, cleared SA on Hard and Lunatic (1cc? Um, no. I'm not God, thanks.) and finally, FINALLY got past Koishi's something Id and Super ego cards with no deaths (Damn you, Genetics.)
What should I do next? I have SA and MoF Extras left, but they are proving frustrating. I also would like to unlock all stage 4 all shottypes and difficulties in SA, but I'd hate to leave IN after this roll I've been on.
Don't even mention UFO. After the 3 hour long ass beating Hard mode Byuraken gave me and all the clip deaths caused by chasing UFOs around, no thanks. Not now.
-

MoF Extra is pretty easy (especially if you've 1cc'd Lunatic anything), so do that next.
-
Completed 100% StB until stage 4.
God, Doll Mira Ceti was much easier than I thought. Same with Reisen's Noncard.

UFO EXTRA CLEAR
YEEAAAAAAHHH (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4703)
yes i know it says not cleared but it didn't let me select anything
-
Just did my second lagless MS lunatic 1cc. I sucked on Yumeko and Shinki and ended 0/0, but the REAL accomplishment is that I beat stage 4 no deaths. o_o You know, the one where even I admit it's sometimes hard to see the bullets and with claustrophobic dodging left and right? Not only that, but I PERFECTED Yuki and Mai.
Which reminds me. Some day when I'm feeling ready to emasculate myself, I should actually fight Yuki instead of Mai. The last time I did that was when I was building up to 1ccing this my first time, tried her out, and went "nope, definitely fight Mai instead."

Phantasmagoria of Flower View Lunatic 1CC, No Focus! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4704)
Kinda sucks that the gensokyo.org uploader thing wouldn't let me tag it with the special challenge tag though, but I don't care. I'm thrilled.

UFO S5 Lunatic 1 death (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4706). Bombing on a whim. Screw perfect. Unless...
/me brainstorms
-
Capped some more cards in spell practice, including Hourai Elixer Lunatic, which makes 204/222. I then tried to 1cc Lunatic on max lives... surprisingly, I reached Hourai Jewel with four lives to spare. I died twice on that since I was kind of unprepared for how damn fast it was, but still... a real 1cc may not be far off.
-
These were done towards the end of August (check the replay files for the exact dates), obviously before I'd signed up here.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4722 - UFO Stage 3 Lunatic with zero bombs/deaths.
Harder stage compared to 4, but easier boss. UFO detonation takes all the challenge out of the ying-yang spam sections, while midboss Ichirin is generally unproblematic. I'd imagine that trying to do the pre-boss fairy waves with anyone other than ReimuB would be ludicrous, unless there's a trick I'm not getting.
All of Ichirin's noncards are simple. Her first card requires luck since you can't see the shots coming half the time, her second can be memorised, and her last card is by far her easiest if you manipulate the fists right.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4723 - UFO Stage 4 Lunatic with zero bombs/deaths.
Easier stage compared to 3, but harder boss. Again, UFO detonation gets you past some of the trickier parts of the stage, while the rest is predominantly just basic dodging with a little streaming thrown in.
Murasa's noncards are easy, medium and fucking horrible in that order. Her first card is probably the easiest card in the entire game, while her second varies depending on her movement but is usually pretty challenging. It's thanks to a YouTube video of this same feat that I know how to deal with her third card (though I come close to failing it in this run). I screw up her survival card far too frequently, even though it's not really that difficult.
I've only recently begun attempting these zero bomb/death runs, but if I keep going and build up enough of them (like 20+) I might start putting them on YouTube. I find the earlier games harder to play though (PCB specifically) because I get what I can only describe as delay after pressing the keys.

I finally beat 5-1 in StB! After doing this, I watched videos of other people beating this card- turns out I do it the strangest way possible, exploiting a programming error in China's movement pattern.
Watch this replay, it's freaking amazing (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4725)

I finally did a satisfactory Extra run of UFO. I have cleared it many times but i always die too often which is annoying. Its pretty much the SoEW effect. I don't bomb too much at extra bosses unless i manage to pull of death-bombing. Which doesn't happen too often.
Still, what usually happens is this: I die. I lose power. I die again. I lose more power. Now i have so little power that i can't do decent damage. That just raises my chances at dying.
This time i only died twice. Once, which was a pretty bad accident, at the first spellcard and once at that spell where she follows you on the screen emitting darkness and blue bullets (horribly irritating spell that always kill me. I've only capped it thrice.)
I also capped the final two spellcards. Maybe the survival card isn't as bad as i thought. Its only the final three seconds that really annoy me now.
Also, who said her final spellcard is bad? I'm pretty sure somebody said that! Its not. Its pretty entertaining and a billion times more fun than Subterranean Rose! The reason i haven't capped it before now probably have something to do with the fact that SanaeB doesn't do too much damage when she only have 2 or 1 power.
-
YESSSSS
Finally 1cced Perfect Cherry Blossom Easy :D
Now I just need to get Subterranean Animism... Though I'm terrible at Okuu's last three spellcards and Orin's last two spellcards.
-
Okay I capped Yorimasa Genzanmi. I kind of cheated, but only because I essentially did capture it and I wanted the number >_>
-
I almost did a No Miss of Marisa in SG Extra. Unfortunately, I screwed up the shotgunning of Marisa's double at the very end that will kill the double before it gets to shoot, so yeah. >_>
Then I got crushed by Raymoo's Balls. =V
Oh, and No Miss Stage 2 of Samidare, although I wish I could do that in an actual run. =V
-
Hourai Jewel Lunatic: 1/384.
ARE YOU HAPPY NOW, KAGUYA?!
...Jesus Christ. Fuck VoWG, that has got to be the hardest spell card in the series.
-
Finally did perfect cherry blossom 1 cc normal, could've done it for a long time but always lost like 3 lives in stage 5 without using bombs. Got 2,25 billion score and had 3 lives left :)
Also did EoSD hard the other day ^_^
-
FINALLY!!!!
Cleared Subterranean Animism Easy for the first time. v_v
I captured Okuu's third card for the first time using a strategy I saw from a replay, too!
Died just as she was exploding, though. D: Stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid. I still had 4 lives left though, since I got so many life pieces...
-
Despite Kaguya's best efforts, 222/222 IN Spell cards captured. HELL YEAH.
That just leaves SA and UFO Lunatic cards.
-
Hourai Jewel Lunatic: 1/384.
ARE YOU HAPPY NOW, KAGUYA?!
...Jesus Christ. Fuck VoWG, that has got to be the hardest spell card in the series.
Well, Hourai Jewel is more about memorization and timing than about actual dodging, so i wouldn't really call it a hard spellcard more than a micro-memorizationfest.
VoWG on the other hand doesn't require any memorization and its all about skill.

Meh, maybe my dodging is just a lot better than my timing/memory skills, then... I guess that might explain why I suck so much at IN in general. At any rate, that took me something like fifteen times as many attempts as VoWG Lunatic.

Watching Drake's replay, I guess that non SanaeB characters can't focus on destroying one of the rainbow UFO streams?
Maybe I should try UFO extra again with ReimuA.....maybe.

HAHAHAHAHAHA
PoFV 2lc on Easy.
The best part is that Cirno's stupidity reigns supreme.
Final Episode with Shikieiki was gold. Both of us lost our dodging skills and were running into bullets like crazy. Seriously, it didn't even last for one minute; Shiki died first because she started it. The Yama ran into one of Cirno's Icicles. :V
-
Just did my first proper attempt at an IN Lunatic 1cc. Game over'd at Salamander Shield... not bad, considering how badly I screwed up Stages 4 and 5.
-
... I seem to have found a knack for going from "utter fail" to "so very very close to a 1cc" within the span of a playthrough or two. Earlier this week there I reached the final card of MoF easy going near-blind through practically two stages, just a minute ago I was a sliver of health and/or 10 seconds from a 1cc on EoSD easy after needing every continue I could get before. (No replay this time, though, since i kind of reflexively went "continue!" instead of thinking to not continue so I could save it.)
-
I did it.
I beat Koishi.
With REIMUC.
あやややややや (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4732)

So I just tried Flandre with Reimu B for the first time...
...and guess what, I beat her. I even made all sort of derptacular mistakes but Flandre is so damn easy it doesn't matter.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4733
:V
-
Just gave MS Lunatic a try. Got to Alice 4/1, made a stupid mistake or two, got to stage 4 3/1.
There are WAY TOO MANY OF THOSE DAMN KNIFE FAIRIES.
Game overed to Yuki. Incidentally, OHGAWD YUKI WHAT THE HELL
I always got Mai when I beat the game before now, not on purpose. This time...ouch.
With continues, I lost my last life at Shinki. My thought processes were as follows:
Bomb!
OK, that's that phase, at least.
She's moving up...
OH CRAP TOP TOP TOP---
...damn wings.
-
Samidare 1cc'd. Replay Attached, rename, etc. Pretty easy really, once you know how to properly shield attacks.
Aaaand now for the Hellish Extra Stage. Oh, and I should get to 1ccing UFO Hard and SSG Normal. =V
-
EoSD Hard 1cc'ed with ReimuA Gosh, that took very long, on and off. Feels like I earned it compared to all my other 1ccs. Time for PCB.
And MoF Easy is probably the hardest final spellcard on... Easy so no worries I suppose.
-
Ya know, people often say that Vampire Illusion fights dirty, and they'd be right. The amount of times the attack walls you is just ridiculous, and is bad design. However, nothing's more satisfying than getting walled, and CAPTURING THE MOTHERFUCKER ANYWAY. \o/ Also, it's my goal to one day time out Scarlet Gensokyo without dying. It'll never happen, but one can dream...
Also, I should probably do some 1ccs of EoSD and IN soon. I've 1cc'd both on lunatic before, but neither are Youtube quality 1ccs. Considering I've beaten every stage in EoSD lunatic without dying at one point or another (notice how that conveniently excludes extra), 1ccing it SHOULD be a snap.
-
So, anyway, I know I 1cc'd PCB Normal before, so doing it again shouldn't be that big a deal, right? WRONG! This time it was with Marisa B, and I actually got up to MAX LIVES a couple of times :3 ...I think I may have had WAY too many deaths against Youmu though ._. As usual <.<;
Anyway, replay: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4740
-
:'(
I just did a pretty good no deaths clear of Yuyuko (clearly she is not as hard as I thought she was if I can do no death clears of her this consistently >_>), but I'm hesitant to record it for Youtube. Because...you know...that...one...run...that...I...didn't...
/me bursts into tears and buries his face in his hands

Good, I can still perform decent accomplishments, despite being too busy with work and wasting my time on other shitty games to play Touhou.

I seem to be quite proficient with ReimuA.
UFO S5 NDNBLoss (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4742).
EDIT: ...I can see how to exactly pull off the final wave before Syou. Will do further testing tomorrow. Not a lot, but enough.
-
Considering I've beaten every stage in EoSD lunatic without dying at one point or another (notice how that conveniently excludes extra), 1ccing it SHOULD be a snap.
excludes extra
:V Pssssh. Get to it!
-
Sorry for the double post but it's completely unrelated to the other one, so I thought I probably should.
I just 1cc'd IN Lunatic. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4746)
In Stages 1-5, I died a total of four times only. I went into Stage 6 with four spare lives and I would gain another life before facing Eirin. Cut to five minutes later, I'm at Hourai Jewel, 0/0, pressed against the side of the screen literally a few pixels away from a gigantic wall of multicoloured bullets before the attack finally finishes. That was...intense.
That makes four Lunatics down.
...I need a cup of tea. :V
-
Hah congratulations!
You did the last 3 Lunatics pretty fast eh!?
-
EoSD Hard 1cc finally.
No deaths up to end stage 4.
-
I could beat EoSD extra no deaths, I know I can (I've even reached Q.E.D once), but...I'm not the type of person to grind an extra for a simple goal. See, whenever I get the idea to do something through my head (like capture a certain attack or do it no deaths), I find myself unable to enjoy that stage again until I pull it off. I'm doing my best not to get this feeling for Flandre's fight. The real problem is the stage anyway; I almost always have to bomb at least once.
-
Also nearly captured Scarlet Gensokyo(got walled at maybe 3 seconds of shooting left) and timed out Scarlet Meister(both Hard :V)
Funny since I can't capture SM or Mega Flare, yet I've timed them out both.
-
oh, um

Nue's not as easy as she looks :V

I DON'T THINK YOU'RE A WEAK EXTRA STAGE BOSS NUE ;_;
Nue's not as easy as she looks :V
I rest my case.
Hah congratulations!
You did the last 3 Lunatics pretty fast eh!?
Thanks, and yeah, I guess I did. :D I think it's probably due to the first Lunatic I tackled (EoSD) probably being the hardest out of the four I've managed. After EoSD the other three really weren't so bad. Now, SA, on the other hand... that's going nowhere fast. I'll probably end up going through the PC-98 games before I manage that.
-
Sapz is ascending to super player status, you're watching the birth of a new lunatic people! :O
Seriously, you're reminding me of myself. After a period of stagnating skill that lasted like 6 months, I suddenly 1cc'd the lunatics of LLS, MS, EoSD, IN, PCB, and MoF all in a 2 month period (I had already 1cc'd SoEW lunatic essentially on default lives)
And accomplishments? Well...I'm believing that a no deaths run of Byakuren is very possible. Her first spell card is still clip-death incarnate (in fact, at this point I'd go as far as to say it's Byakuren's most dangerous spell card due to how hard it is to predict a death if you don't autobomb it), but I'm getting the rest of her first down pretty well, even her fourth non-spell to a point (still rarely capture it). I managed to get all the way until Superhuman (god damn it what happened to me trivializing this spell card?) before dying this run.
And I think I'm also getting the hang of Syou's second non-spell. I think it's one of those things that is easier if you DON'T move unless a laser is coming straight at you. Still no luck with spinning lasers though. :( I can make one rotation, but I've never succeeded in making another.

Reason for my low capture rate is because I time it out so often.
I prefer everything to be in Moonrunes tbh.
Oh, and don't worry about me and EoSD, turns out that my game was running ever so slightly faster, causing me to miss 90% of my deathbombs.

English Patch
AH SHIT
so is someone starting the thread or should i?

English Patch
Awesomeeeeeeeeee. Motivation to continuespam my way through UFO Lunatic.
And thanks, Donut. :D Still got over half of the Lunatics yet to go though, although at this rate, maybe not for long... on the other hand, school starts soon. <_< So I doubt I'll be racking up the Lunatics quite as fast, but still.
Next on the list is SoEW Lunatic. Shouldn't be too difficult, I imagine. :V
-

So do I, but I generally prefer to watch my replays in English so I get to understand the story while I watch myself kick ass/fail miserably.

FFFFFFFFFFF
I was using stage 5 to test the new patch (works wonderfully as always), but had the worst Syou fight ever, reaching spinning lasers with 1.00 power. I then proceed to suddenly start doing it correctly, and had I been any higher than 1.00 power I would have captured it.
@Baity: The problem for me is more the oval bullets believe it or not. Why did IN give them extremely small hitboxes if they were just going to make them really unforgiving this game? ???
-
Believe it or not, I read the bullets ahead of time, and don't even bother to look where my hitbox is; I just keep a note where the general location of the sprite is. If you try to move through the oval bullets while focusing on your hitbox, chances are you'll clip a bullet (psychological effect of incoming laser) or get cut by a laser anyway.
I've captured it (and performed timeouts) quite a few times without even resorting to focus.

UFO normal 1cc! Now with less suck! I think I died...twice maybe? I ended up with so many bombs by Syou I managed to beat her and Byakuren without dying and succeeded in a max lives clear.
Now to do it five more times~ And then, er, MAYBE I'll start trying hard mode.
-
1cced UFO Easy with ReimuB and Byakuren's last card nearly demolished me.
The rest of the fight was almost perfect, with one bomb at the curvy lasers, if I recall correctly. I even managed to time out her last attack phase ; ;
And then comes her stupid Flying Fantastica comes in and I start out okay without losing any lives until she starts sending out the green cards and up and I lose four lives almost immediately and the stupid bombs are stupidly ineffective and it doesn't even clear the bullets D:
But then I manage to beat her and get to see a Good Ending in English and Byakuren was just awesome.
-
I reached Byakuren in a UFO Normal 1cc attempt... Made it to her second nonspell before being finished off. Well, actually beating Shou is WAY better than I've ever done before, so it's still an accomplishment, but... I still feel so far away from a 1cc...
EDIT: I tried using Reimu A... OH MY GOD THIS IS AWESOME!!! I got all the way to Byakuren's second to last spell...

-
Capped all UFO Extra spells. Yorimasa Genzanmi became more managable now that i had 4.00 power instead of 1.00. (Well, i almost always die once or twice to Nightmare of Heiankyou)
And quite fun as well.
-
Captured Ancient Duper :) For me this is a big feat, because when I first saw this spell I freaked out and deemed it impossible. But yeah it is 100% tactic, and executing it is quite easy once you know it.

Hmph. Second ending down with Reimu B. I don't like Reimu B in UFO due to her trademark weak damage, but there's one thing I may have to continue spam to stage 6 at least for: OMG SPINNING LASERS (is that enough for you??? T_T) IS SO MUCH EASIER. Omnidirectional homing certainly comes in handy at points.
And lol at the ending. You can hardly call it a "good" ending for Reimu, because it's essentially a slap in her face.
-
There is no "i" in Vajra.
(is that enough for you??? T_T)
...I just wanted to fix your one letter mistake. You didn't have to yell ;_;
In other news, 60 StB scenes completed and still rising.

Well, I decided to celebrate Cirno day by completing Cirno's Extra mode in PoFV. Did it once, and realized that Cirno pretty much destroys Extra Mode. Though, since I hated the run, I decided to do it again. Now normally this would go in that 09/09/09 topic, but something awesome happened during stage 8.
Now I enter it with 3 lives left, (http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/6193/pofvysl.png) and somehow through the power of Bonus Points I manage to obtain three more. (http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/2389/pofvyel.png) Yes, I lost that round, but this is the first time I obtain more than 1 life during a round.
Also, Shikieiki's timer goes down to a starting point of 10 seconds if you lose enough to her. :V
-
1cc'd UFO Normal again with SanaeB for translation and profit.
By the way, Baity, what do you use for recording the PC-98 stuff? Fraps only takes DirectX applications, from what I understand...wrong or right, it still won't take footage from the PC-98.
-
1cc'd Sanae B normal, but it wasn't that great a run. I got carried away with the shotgunning (as I always do which is why I prefer types that don't require it) and died on Byakuren a bunch. The REAL accomplishment is this:
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4770
IN stage 6a lunatic beaten no deaths. I decided to just do a decent run so there's a lunatic replay of Eirin for the Touhou channel (only a hard run was found), and after a bunch of retries, I died at the very end of Astronomical Entombing. Not one to be outdone, especially by Eirin, I proceeded to do this. Now shut up voice in my head saying "you think Kaguya's harder but you've beaten her no deaths and not Eirin." Plus this means I'll have a double feature for my channel next time I upload. \o/
EDIT: UFO extra clear with Sanae B. It's a shame Sanae doesn't really agree with my shot type tastes, because I LOVE her dialogue. Still, as per usual, I play much worse with a shot type that isn't my main, because I cleared 0/0.
-
EDIT: UFO extra clear with Sanae B. It's a shame Sanae doesn't really agree with my shot type tastes, because I LOVE her dialogue. Still, as per usual, I play much worse with a shot type that isn't my main, because I cleared 0/0.
The only differences are:
- Spread shot while unfocused (which is basically unchanged from 2.xx-4.00 Power)
- Hitbox
- Slightly lower long-distance forward damage
So unless you were just playing horribly, I would say that you're relying a bit too much of the hitbox size. Though, I must admit that I've been able to perform splendid dodges because of Reimu's hitbox.
Alright, running myself into S5 again. I seem to be getting used to "Greatest Treasure"UFO S5 SC1, so let's see what I can Ass Pull (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AssPull) today, now that exams are over.
-
SLIGHTLY less forward damage? Are you joking? Spell cards take about 1.5 times as long with Sanae B. And yes, the reason I've never used anyone but Reimu since IN is her small hitbox. The only game in which I could use anything that doesn't have the smallest hitbox is PCB, because Marisa's so good it doesn't matter and that game did what all the rest SHOULD have: Have the standard hitbox be Reimu's hitbox, make Reimu's be even smaller.
-
No, I'm quite serious about the damage. Unless... you were at something like 2.xx Power, or perhaps missing with a few frogs or something (which is very possible).
Also, random "Radiant Treasure Gun"UFO S5 SC2 capture with ReimuB :V
It's weird... I can see everything now.
-
I love SanaeB just because of Extra stage :V
-
I prefer MarisaA for Extra Stage... as seen Here (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4774).
This almost went into RAGE THREAD, because two full attempts ago, I had Nue down to 1% on her final card, swear I pressed Bomb, but died. Then I pulled it off. I also pulled off my first capture of the laser grid on my victorious run. That spellcard is devil until you learn a dodge route...
I am proud to also say that I captured Devil's Recitation (The Shinki Card) yesterday on Normal, putting me up to all of 1 card uncaptured on Normal. This is a first for me in any Touhou game. That card? SYOU GREEN LASER BULL.
-
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o142/Sapzdude/SoEWLunatic1cc.jpg)
SoEW Lunatic 1cc, finished 0/1. I do not intend to play this game ever again. >_<
So... five Lunatics down, four to go. Over halfway there already, kickass. Next on the list is LLS. But maybe that can wait for a while... I want to mess around with UFO in English first, and maybe cap some more spell cards while I'm at it. :V
-
i 1cced UFO with Sanae B, and then cleared Extra with her.
not going to really call this an accomplishment because she makes everything easy.

http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4779
A no-bomb EoSD lunatic attempt that got all the way to stage 6! My playing is pretty consistently good here, a lot more than I usually manage to play. Most of my deaths were to expected 'garbage' parts (Books, Emerald Megalith, Killing Doll etc.), and the only death I feel bad about was the one to Misdirection, where I ended it too soon and couldn't get to my usual starting position in time. I mostly wanted to see if I could get to stage 5, but I ended up getting all the way to Young Demon Lord.
I'm also finding no-bomb EoSD to be significantly more enjoyable than no-bombs IN, even if the former is technically like 3x harder. Maybe because Cirno and Meiling are a lot easier than Mystia and Keine, so I'm ensured to at least get to stage 4.
-
Off topic: I almost always clear Devil's Recitation.
OMFG I BEAT KOISHI WITH SUIKA!!!! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4782)That means I just have to beat Koishi with Marisa.
-
(HRtP Normal) So...I got through Kikuri. (With 4 continues on her. Though I managed to get up to her without continuing, first time ever!...hell, first time past Mima without continuing!)
I then got clobbered by the orb on stage 19, continued, and smacked Konngara around.
WHY THE CRAP IS KIKURI SO MUCH HARDER THAN KONNGARA
It's really just Kikuri's first phase. I can't HIT her.
Oh well.
Also (SoEW Normal) got up to Mima's almost last phase before getting walled by the stars. Continued and whomped her in about 10 seconds.
...
...
WHY AM I PLAYING THE TWO WORST-DESIGNED GAMES IN THE SERIES BACK-TO-BACK NEXT THING YOU KNOW I'M GOING TO PLAY UFO HA HA HA
...yeah.

I can't try Extra, I haven't beaten Normal x: And Hard... Yeah, I know I wouldn't do that well on it...
EoSD Hard on the other hand, I'm not too horrible at. Did pretty good this time I'd say, though my problem of not really knowing when to bomb is still there >.< Got all the way to Remilia though~

I have spent around the last hour grinding UFO stage 5 lunatic, and I have discovered some very juicy things about it. For both my sake and for others, I'll compile the things I've learned:
Dodging in the center makes the intro attack much easier than dodging at the sides.
While it's preferrable to grab the two red ufos from the intro fairies and try to immediately grab the first UFO after that to create a chain that will get you an extra life before Nazrin, it is both safer and if done right equally lucrative to chain green UFOs instead. Perhaps chaining red UFOs in the first half and green in the second is the optimal method? More research is needed.
For the post-Nazrin spam, there is a quiet spot in the corners. This makes it much more survivable.
If timed right, dodging the final attack before Syou by hugging the bottom and sweeping from right to left can be pulled off consistently.
After the first loop of Spinning lasers, have the pentagram home in on the lower right rather than higher up. This makes the attack more, er, possible.
This stuff was TOTALLY worth skipping out on a good night's sleep. =D
EDIT: Confirming that the corners are a quiet spot. In fact, it trivializes the entire spam as long as you don't care about UFOs. I just captured the whole thing beginning to end without dying or bombing. THIS is what lunatic grinding is all about: Breakthroughs that trivialize a section once thought to be nigh-impossible with a limited range shot type like Reimu A.
-
Maybe not touhou but still a game where ZUN was involved:
Fucking ONE pathetic death, no bombs at all on Uwabami Breakers stage 3 run. And that was on his 2nd spellcard, the EASIEST of them all. 1mm life left, I ran into a bullet because I thought the spellcard was over. SELF-RAGE-MAX!!!!!!!
I captured his drunken VoWG version though :V
-
For the post-Nazrin spam, there is a quiet spot in the corners. This makes it much more survivable.
Left or right or both? Because I've always died trying the left, and not the right.
If timed right, dodging the final attack before Syou by hugging the bottom and sweeping from right to left can be pulled off consistently.
I do have a similar method to yours that I very recently discovered (which is purely coincidental, I swear), which is more lenient in timing compared to your method and works for all shot types. I will gladly demonstrate this when I perfect the entire stage (ha...).
After the first loop of Spinning lasers, have the pentagram home in on the lower right rather than higher up. This makes the attack more, er, possible.
:V...
Protip: If you're hugging the "wall" (top, sides and bottom) then you're doing it wrong. It is much easier if you're a bit closer to the center so that you at least have room to move out if your planned path is going to be covered by a bullet.
-
I don't even know. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWj2ktVY1tk)
-
Tried IN Hard 1cc, this time going for Eirin instead of Kaguya.
Lost the 1cc on Marisa thanks to REALLY bad fuckups(lost 3 lives on Keine, charged on full bombs by Marisa.....
Fucked up Reisen too(read: 1 death, lol) but Eirin.....lost only 1 life in the stage and captured Hourai Elixir. :V
-
@Baity: It's down to preferences, really, I've done it in both corners. And it doesn't REALLY trivialize it, but it lowers the amount of bullets into something that is much more doable.
And thanks for the tip on Spinning Lasers (even though I've finally learned its name of Vajra Perfect Buddhism [which I just realized is a reference to Ultimate Buddhist in name and the fact that you also circle around the screen]), I'll try that when I get home.
EDIT: No seriously, I think I've CRACKED stage 5. I just beat the stage portion no deaths, bombing only on Greatest Treasure and bombing for safety on the post-Nazrin spam. Still died three times to Syou but whatever~ >_>
-
Beat Utsuho on Hard. Like 10cc, but it's still kind of hard :V
Had one extra life too.
Should I feel bad about safespotting Utsuho's 3rd card?
-
WTF
PoFV Lunatic 3cc FIRST TRY !
I just used 2 continues on stage FINAL
First time I clear a lunatic... :V
-
SA Easy 1cc, nine lives left. I'm not sure how much of an accomplishment this is, considering I've 1cc'd SA Easy before, but not with this many lives left, and I'd say that it's pretty good, especially considering that I have several stupid deaths scattered through there. Maybe I should aim for a no deaths run sometime soon...
Anyway, replay: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4788
-
MoF Lunatic Stage 1 zero bombs/deaths. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4790)
MoF Lunatic Stage 2 zero bombs/deaths. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4791)
MoF Lunatic Stage 3 zero bombs/deaths. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4792)
MoF Lunatic Stage 4 zero bombs/deaths. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4793)
MoF Lunatic Stage 5 zero bombs/deaths. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4794)
MoF Lunatic Stage 6 zero bombs/deaths. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4795)
Unashamedly studied some flawless stage run replays, and then played fairly consistently with ReimuB to do these. In order of difficulty, Stage 4's way out in front, and then it's 6 > 5=3 > 2 > 1. Possibly 5 should be slightly ahead of 3 since you really need to know what you're doing to tackle it.
As for comments, 1 was done first time, 2 is lol, 3 is pretty straightforward (most of Nitori's attacks are throwaways), 5 is an embarrassment to Lunatic Stage 5s everywhere (ditto for Sanae's attacks), 6 was lame because VoWG went easy on me (double ditto for Kanako's attacks), and 4 is sdhjfadsjk because of Momizi and Peerless Wind God. Though after all that, I'm getting much better at both of them.
-
HELL YEAH, MoF HARD 1CC.
Entered stage 6 with 5 lives and finished with 2......I've bombed what I could, didn't take any risks.
Stage practice definitely helped:p
-
LLS Hard, game overed at Yuka's second Stage 6 phase. Thought it was Spark, ran into the bullets. Still had two bombs, too. I did terribly on Elly and stage 5, wasted at least a couple bombs on each.
That was actually fun.
-
Finally got around to making a better replay of MoF Extra. No focus until Suwako. I used a bomb on Suwako's first non-spell because of panic for some reason,which was stupid of me since I used as the bullets were going away. There are still a few mistakes that I should probably work on. I need to work on "The Red Frog in the Fourth Year of the Houei Era". But overall this is my best reply.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4802
-
UFO Normal 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4801) at last.
I clearly wasn't all that experienced with Byakuren. Entered her fight 7/3, came out 3/0 at the end. Ouchies.
Oh well, a clear is still a clear. I get to try out UFO Extra now. Nifty.
-
IN Hard 1cc with Border Team (I'm going to succeed Reimu Solo eventually but that'll do for now). Final B.
Some characteristics of this run.
- Done with no sound. I was playing at school and didn't think of using my earphones at first. It's actually not that much harder. It took some getting used to, and caused a death on stage 3 because of "What's going on- OH SHIT I GOT HIT BOMB BOMB BOMB BOMB". Of course I had 4 bombs in stock. But otherwise the only harder parts are on spellcards giving you an audio cue, and in the case of IN that's for Marisa's Master Spark spellcards, and even then it's mostly only her last spell.
- Perfected Mystia
- Got enough time items to try every last spell, and captured those from Wriggle, Mystia, Keine, and Kaguya's 1st and 4th.
- Hourai Jewel didn't go too badly. I failed it on the first wave (or maybe second, the one that closes in on you), but only died once. It's quite lenient about changing directions. With the way I was moving around I was drawing the infinity symbol and it still didn't wall me :)
- Is it normal that I find "Shoot the Moon" Hard to be much easier than "Earth Light Ray" Normal? (That's Marisa's spellcard with the lasers at the bottom and the yellow stars)
- Sakuya's Last Word is super easy. 6 tries LOLOLOLOLOLOL. It goes well with how crappy she is in IN.
- *Watches replay* Entered Hourai Jewel 3/3, finished 2/3 (my death happened when she had about 5% life left).
-
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v448/dragonmasterhawk/MysticSquareExtraClear.gif)
Woo.
Anyone know what all of those things mean? From the top, I've got...
- Game Mode
- Score
- Deaths
- Bombs
- Game Completion Percent
- ?????
- Item Collection Percent
- Point Item Collection Percent???
- I looked up the kanji for this. It means "fighting energy" or something. I'm lost.
- Maybe slowdown percent? The PC98 games run like garbage.
- That's the kanji for points, but 109.79? I got nothing.
-
This should cover it. (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=1440.msg52780#msg52780) The one before slowdown...someone guessed it was survival rate.
-
MoF Lunatic Stage 4 zero bombs/deaths. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4793)
Oh? Could this be-
ReimuB
...:V (Although it's fair, I find ReimuB trivializes certain parts of the stages and definitely trivializes the bosses too much, hence :V)
Also, stalling Momizi a bit ruins the fun of doing a bit more of PMBS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5ocbbxHc2Q) ;_;
:wikipedia:
Alright, fair enough. With that, it's time to repeatedly smash myself against S5 a bit. I could probably perfect it if I gave it enough time. Much like how you can perfect anything given enough time.
-
FUCK YES, IN 1CC HARD.
Spent 30 minutes in spell practice and got past Marisa with 1 death(Keine with 2, but it was better than before)
Guess that I'm a fast learner since I've practiced Nitori, Aya and Sanae for 1 hour then did MoF 1cc easily....
Got to Eirin(I hope that counts....I HATE Kaguya) with 4 lives, blew both her opener and Genealogy, then died on Game of Rising........
Got to Astronomical Entombing with 2 bombs and 1 life, so I've decided to use the first one earlier and save the second one for a deathbomb.....and it worked :V
As a bonus, captured Hourai Elixir yet again.
-
I decided to hurl another red-white with 2 bonus lives at EoSD Hard to see if I can beat it, and I died once at Cirno's Perfect Freeze... because the 9 makes me 9 :'(. I kept going anyway, and got to Scarlet Gensokyo with 2 lives and no bombs. I wanted to beat Hard as if with default lives... so I capped that bitch :V
Later I might go and do it with default lives fo REALZ. I mean, if I don't have a stupid death-with-4-bombs, it should be even easier then this run was~
Anyway, Scarlet Gensokyo -Hard- is actually pretty easy for me, now. I wonder if I can get good enough to see it's Lunatic form anytime soon... even though I can't do Hard Mode worth crap on MS, PCB, and anything past PoFV.
-
[10:43] <BaitySM> huh, 4 death 0 bomb run of stage 6
I'm going to improve this to a 1-2 death 0 bomb if possible.
Perfect Syou battle. Unfortunately, there are deaths on "Greatest Treasure"UFO S5 SC1 and the pre-boss waves (due to really bad timing).
-
Okay, so maybe with this trick the post-Nazrin waves aren't TRIVIAL, but it's certainly easier.
Also, YEAH GREATEST TREASURE CAPTURE! This is my second capture, but that last was one of those that made you wonder how you managed it. This was a "cool" capture.
EDIT: No death runs of Eirin and Kaguya are both recorded and encoding as we speak.
-
Okay, so maybe with this trick the post-Nazrin waves aren't TRIVIAL, but it's certainly easier.
Actually, I've been killing myself with your "method" compared to my "blah, swing across the screen in a U-shape" now that I actually tried several times over.
Also, here's a History of my Spell Cards for S5L, ReimuA (sorry it's Moon, but you should be able to figure out what's what).
(http://i80.servimg.com/u/f80/12/80/32/92/th/th00810.jpg) (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=280&u=12803292)
-
I'm thinking that a compromise may be reached through further testing. Moving to destroy the individual waves works until they just come and completely overwhelm the screen. THEN try the corner. I'll test this more tonight; I'm determined to master this stage.
-
I'm determined to master this stage.
So am I. So am I...
Mind you, I personally find Stage 6 much easier to master at this point, even though the first SC is complete garbage.
Yeah, I'll be testing various strats for the post-midboss waves as well. I seem to either have fairies spamming too much crap at me, or having off-screen bullets hit me, or even the very rare... fairies colliding into me (which for some reason, just happens).
EDIT Overall: Sticking with the "Corner Method", but not restricting self to the corner.
-
Double feature! o/
Eirin no deaths: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsFurJgosPM&fmt=18
Kaguya no deaths: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpmbmcrd4KU&fmt=18
-
Well, I just found out the best way to deal with "Radiant Treasure Gun" by pure coincidence. I feel like I'm going to kick myself one of these days...
Now I just need to work out the other part of Syou's 2nd non-spell (which can be done quite quickly), and I should be ready to do a perfect run. Stupid "Gray Test Tray Shure"
, giving me only a 20% success rate.
-
Finally got a chance to play some UFO after about two weeks or so of straight work :V
Decided I wanted to win and see an ending, so I dropped down to hard for a bit. Crappy run on stages 5/6, but I didn't really matter since I had max lives by Murasa.
Now back to another week of work :( I might not have time to get a luna 1CC until thanksgiving break or something.
-
YEAHHHHHHH
(http://i30.tinypic.com/v5ebzd.jpg)
captured most of her cards, everything but Rainbow UFO(god i hate that card), Nightmare of Heinkyou and Grudge Bow.
now i only have to beat Koishi and Suwako, and i don't think i'll ever be able to beat them, because they're batshit hard for me.
-
now i only have to beat Koishi and Suwako, and i don't think i'll ever be able to beat them, because they're batshit hard for me.
Congrats!
I used to think Suwako was pretty tough until I went on my 'let's capture every card in every game' thing, and then I changed my mind pretty fast because every single one of her cards except her 7th and 10th are little trick/gimmick dealies where you can use the same method on every time and cap them almost every the time (although Suwa War is still tough but you get the idea), and on top of that her final card is... pretty pathetic, to be honest. She's tough until you learn the tricks to things and then she becomes trivial pretty fast. Also, her stage and Kanako are loleasy. :V
Koishi is still batshit, though. Hardest Extra boss in the series IMO.
-
Suwako's sixth spell card makes me rage because it's the ultimate clipdeath. It walls you into a tight space with unforgiving hitbox lasers, forcing you into a tight squeeze in between those lasers with bullets...that have large hitboxes themselves.
-
WELL FUCK
(http://i28.tinypic.com/14vn190.jpg)
first ever SA normal 1cc!
THIS IS THE BEST TOUHOU DAY EVER
i think i should practice MoF's extra some more, since you guys say it's easy. honestly, SA's extra stage(stage portion) is the easiest for me, and everything else seems so hard compared to it. :|

I am infinitely jealous right now. I attempted UFO and SA Normal clears and died on Stage 6 of both of them. Why can I do so well in earlier games but suck so much at the newer ones?
-
(SA clear, etc)
I am infinitely jealous right now. I attempted UFO and SA Normal clears and died on Stage 6 of both of them. Why can I do so well in earlier games but suck so much at the newer ones?
Because SA's and UFO's Normal are universally regarded as harder than every Normal before? Even though I had no trouble with UFO's normal, I 1cc'ed EoSD's and PCB's Hard before 1cc'ing SA's Normal. Though when I did it it was much like Slaves' clear: with a crapton of lives to spare. Probably some inspired Orin breakthrough involved here as well - at least that was the difference for me.
===================
Edit to avoid double post: NON-CHEESE PoFV LUNATIC 1cc, THANKS RAYMOO.
Now, to do it with Yuka, who got so close so many times.......
-
UFO Easy 1cc with SanaeB.
I should be moving on to Normal but I don't want to x.x
-
Got to Alice's 5th phase, but then died very embarassingly. :<
-
UFO Easy 1cc with SanaeB.
I should be moving on to Normal but I don't want to x.x
I find UFO Normal muuuch harder than Easy... It's not even funny...
I've finished all other games on normal except for SA and UFO.. and even MoF Hard, but I just can't 1cc SA and UFO Normal..
They're too hard =(
-
I finally cleared PCB Extra with ReimuB
Not uploading it though, its really really bad. I bomb cheese all but two of the cards.
Hopefully my Phantasm run will be worthy. ;D
-
Went back to SA normal since I wasn't happy with entering stage 6 with 1 life on my first and only 1cc.....
...and finished it with 6 lives left this time. Quite an improvement in under a month, considering that I have touched SA only once since that 1cc :V
-
Just beat Mokou. I might post the replay, but I'll probably only post it if I don't get around to making a better one soon.
-
LLS Hard 1cc. :V
-
So anyway, started playing PoDD. 1cc Easy with Mima first try, and then with Kana. There was an attempt with Marisa too, but that ended at Chiyuri ._. She single-handedly wiped the floor with me, no deaths before her <.<;
I also just got a Normal 1cc with Reimu. Oh, in other news, Yumemi's AI is rigged somehow >.< Every single time I reached her, she'd take off a life without being damaged even ONCE. That's right. No other lives except this first one fell victim to this... Actually, once I had it REVERSED on the next life, beat her without taking damage O_o (this was with Kana) So anyway... Seriously, what the hell? .-.
-
IN hard 1cc. Sure, awful run throughout: Border Team, got destroyed by Keine, bombed twice on Reisen's second nonspell, bombed twice on Illusion Seeker, died at Salamander Shield, didn't capture Hourai Jewel which I said was easy on this difficulty......
.....but on the other hand, the last time I had played IN past stage 3 was in late february, I hardly ever bother with spell/stage practice, a lot of spellcards jumped to 1/4 in-game with BT (yeah, I don't like IN much. three other serious runs with solo Marisa which ended at Hourai Jewel and that's pretty much it for hard difficulty), had a fun stage six with not remembering a thing and ending up locked in a corner by the bunnies and still surviving, and despite last spells being something I find horribly anticlimatic, epic "last last spell" capture against Kaguya: did everything wrong, twitch-dodged my way through the least recommended paths with next to zero visibility, until I finally got walled.... a milisecond after capturing it. Only realized it was a capture when I saw the score bonus.
Now only SA's and UFO's "hard" remain before I jump into lunatic.... though I have the impression that some lunatics might be easier.
-
UFO Normal 1cc, MarisaB.
That's right. Her bomb does suck.
Except for the final spellcard. It clears all bullets on screen that were there before the bomb is triggered, and it's so short that Byakuren loses invulnerability after, like, three seconds.
-

I don't get it. I suck at Byakuren tonight, I almost GAME OVER'D to Gengetu (what the hell happened to my PC-98 skill?!), yet I defeated Evil Eye Sigma despite not facing him in months.
-
I beat Murmasa on Normal perfectly. Yeah. Only time that'll happen though. I've been crapping up on one portion or another of her since doing that. Sigh.
And Stage 5 is way easier than Stage 4. Except Syou is about 5x harder than Murmasa. Lasers....
-
Captured Mystia's and Keine's last words.
Mystia's took only 4 attempts, but Keine's is fucking balls.
50 attempts.....still, Unseasonable Butterfly Storm took 291.
7/17 now.
EDIT: 2 Apollo 13 Lunatic captures in a row.
Then I've tried Kaguya on Normal and lost 3 lives. Almost 4.
-
SA Normal 1cc. FINALLY. No comments, too busy dancing in the streets.
-
PCB Hard stage 6...
Youmu is such a bitch, lost 4 lives to her =/
-
Captured Tree-Ocean of Hourai.....8/17.
Only 2 with reasonable requirements left.
-
I finally beat SA's Extra,
Phallus Master Koishi. It was an awesome run compared to my others, capped Sanae's first two cards, and ALL of Koishi's cards except for her last three. I did really well with Genetics too, I think I only used one bomb, and I killed it fairly quickly.
I knew it was going to be awesome went I got past the green bubble fairies without feeling like bombing at all, woo~
Combined with me murdering PoFV's Extra with Komachi, and then beating my first try of Shikieiki (Yesterday), I've now beaten all of the Windows Extra Stages+LLS.
-
oh wow
(http://i25.tinypic.com/313nl8k.jpg)
farthest i've ever gotten in SA extra.
i used to always game over on Super-ego. maybe i can actually beat Koishi sometime this week.
-
My god, stuff like Vajra are SO much easier on normal it hurts. Fourth normal 1cc, this time with Sanae A. Just need to do Marisa's scenarios and I'll have run out of excuses to stall attempting hard. :V
I also finally captured Sinker Ghost. It's much easier than Dipper Creeping Close, but is still easy to screw up in the last 10 seconds.
-
"Nirvana's Cloudy Way in Purple"UFO S6 SC1 is now a Spell Card on my favorites, simply because it's extreme reading. For some reason, I can actually see my way through the waves consistently.
-
After viewing Phar's perfect stage 4 run, I at least have a better idea of how to handle Dipper Creeping Close, but that's still hard. D:
I also am better at Complete Clarification now that I did the DOIH obvious tactic of "if you're gonna get walled, MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE." >_>
Almost captured Vajra again. The problem is that I NEVER reach this attack at full power. Memo to self: No matter how much you pray, the spinning lasers are going to destroy you before you drain Syou's health if you try beating it on the third rotation.
Finally, why does everyone think High Sensitivity Nazrin Pendulum (hard) is harder than Pendulum Guard? Do they not see the obvious trick to weave in between the pendulums? If anything, it dies much quicker than Pendulum Guard.
-
Just killed two birds with one stone:
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4830
Syou beaten no deaths, and I FINALLY captured Vajra Perfect Buddhism. Pretty awesome fight, so hopefully it'll make up for my TERRIBLE performance post-Nazrin.
-
1CC SoEW Normal. Abused 30fps autofire. No regrets.
-
"Magic Milky Way" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4832)UFO S6 SC3 No Horizontal. This is also the same run that I did something really stupid (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=26.msg88130#msg88130).
-
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4833
Koishi no deaths. AFTER OVER ONE HUNDRED ATTEMPTS in the span of just under a year, I finally do this. This was meant to be a random run for the purposes of other people seeing the dialogue at a readable pace, but hey, I also threw in no deaths. I also did that sexy dodge of the post-Sanae section without gapping (SEE BAITY?! I CAN DO IT. NOW SHUT UP U! >:(), so other than the random panic bombs during Koishi this is a solid replay.
EDIT: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4834
Perfect Ichirin fight at last! =D
-
IN hard, solo Marisa 1cc. Reimu's first midboss nonspell is still something I didn't figure out how to do safely (damn ying-yang orbs), but I can't complain since so much stuff elsewhere just crumbles apart when you start to kill the familiars.
Horrible, horrible score, and silly mistakes everywhere due to being more than half asleep (including two deaths to Tewi, and getting walled at the bottom by Hourai Jewel's opening wave (!) because I just phased out and basically forgot what I was doing), but meh. It's a non-border team 1cc, which is what I was going for (even though I think Marisa solo is way better than Border Team).
-
IN Hard 1CC. 3-deaths and 29 spells captured. Nice. I even captured "Life Spring Infinity", "Hourai Jewel" and 4/5 of Kaguya's bonus spells. The score was about 2.5 billion.
But maybe its not so great anyway. I did some horrible mistakes. Not only did i fail "Asteroid Belt" as the only of Marisa's spells and i usually cap it consistently on Lunatic. I also die to Reisens "Invisible Full Moon" and then capture "Tele Mesmerism". What's up with that?
I need to grind some more i think.
Anyway.
MS Hard 1CC... barely.
It really annoys me. I decided to try for a run starting with full lives just to see how far i could get. Everything goes fine. Somebody decides to put his hand in front of my laptop so i die. Thank you very much Kim!
Overall, i died 10 times during the run. Here's the deal. 7 of them was at Shinki. Was that just terrible or what? I made it relatively unscathed through Yumeko (quite fun by the way) only to get utterly destroyed by Shinki.
If just there was stage practice... :(
-
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4836
I... actually enjoyed doing this. If I had a way to do it without bordering on a forced shutdown due to overheating, I'd do it more often.

About fucking time I 1CC SA Normal. I've only been trying off and on for about a year now. Replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4837)
-
Woo, managed to capture Lunatic DBDB and BoWaP. That just leaves Stages 5 and 6, every non-ReimuA Satori card, and, err, most of UFO Lunatic. Fun. :V
-
MS Hard, one bomb on stage 4. And I got Mai this time - still died twice, and terribly, but it's better than GAME OVERING WITH FOUR LIVES GOING IN.
Game overed at Yumeko - oh WOW am I terrible at her. I can't handle the knives, for some reason. I ram them. A lot.
Also, even with continues, I still couldn't beat Shinki. We've got a long way to go...
-
Oh i don't think UFO Lunatic will entertain you. Quite painful stuff... even Hard is terrible IMO.
At least i just managed to capture Legendary Flying Saucer and Radiant Treasure Gun. The only spellcards i was missing a capture of in UFO Hard.
I don't think i can stand playing that much UFO Lunatic though. Its simply too frustrating. It almost makes me doubt the future of Touhou.
EDIT:
Oh, i just did a perfect Mai battle on MS Hard. It isn't really anything to brag about though.
-
Yes! Managed to capture Mystia's Last Word! It wasn't even as tough as a lot of stage 6 (either route) spellcards on Normal...
Anyway, replay: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4838
-
After many many Stage 5 runs, I've capped Needles, Possessed Fairy, Small Demon's Revival and, mostly through some random luck, Erratic Step. Which is cool stuff, because I thought those were going to take me forever.
For some reason, though, I can't for the life of me capture Cannibal Spirit. :V
Until a few hours ago I was sure it was Orin's easiest card by quite a lot... now I'm thinking it's Needles, but Cannibal Spirit still seems like one of the easier cards. I always make some kind of stupid mistake, though... I tend to keep flying too far away from the centre of the circles and end up walling myself, or going at the wrong speed. Blagh.
-
YES! UFO Easy no deaths clear! It's amazing how useful those green UFOs can be... I'm not sure just how MUCH of an accomplishment this is, but it's still pretty cool~ I'd say I dealt with Byakuren's final pretty well too, only one bomb used there.

"Greatest Treausre" No Focus capture.
Replay when I'm done.

UFO normal 1cc Marisa A. As I suspected, Marisa A doesn't suit my tastes either. She's pretty much the reason I don't like using Reimu in EoSD and PCB except inverted. She's too FAST, even though her shot has some utility uses it's not terribly strong, and the bomb is too weak (whatever happened to THE Master Spark, not this cheap imitation from IN?). I mean, when it has less range than Reimu A yet a lot less power, something's wrong...and of course lol large hitbox.
I'm also confused at what the canon fate of the flying ship is. In some endings it's transformed into a temple, while in others it continues to fly through the air.
And the fact that neither Reimu nor Marisa seem to remember going to Makai in MS tells me only one thing...
YUKA'S SCENARIO IN MYSTIC SQUARE IS CANON! :D
Anyways, just need to 1cc with Marisa B (ugh) and I'll have done all the endings and will have no excuse not to start on hard modo. Even if I do it today, I'm feeling all out of sorts from school, so it's a wonder I cleared this as well as I did (four deaths total).
And, am I just slow for not noticing that the bullets on Flying Fantastica/Legendary Flying Object or on a rail so you can see their odd trajectory? I've noticed the lines before, but I thought it was somehow a fancy bomb immunity effect. Augh, now they're distracting because there are so many bullets on the last phases it's harder to read the rails than the bullets. Make me unsee~

Donut, are you hitting Master Spark without the normal lasers? Because if you are, you're doing it wrong. This is the first game that allows you to shoot while Master Spark is active. =V
And MarisaA isn't "terribly weak". It's just that ReimuA is stupidly powerful compared to pretty much every other shot.
Oh, and the Temple is a Flying Temple Ship. Seriously.

High bomb damage in Touhou games is completely unnecessary 90% of the time (well, except for maybe IN and SA). Really, I've said this before, why does no one believe me? Do people like, not know how to shoot/shotgun enemies while invincible or something? :V
-
It's quite hard to keep your MINISCULE range centered when the bomb slows you down to a crawl. Seriously, Reimu A is faster with her bomb active AND it does more damage AND it lasts longer.
Also, Reimu A's bomb is such that on certain attacks if you end up having to bomb at the end of the spell card it will take out over half the next non-card's health. :) Really, the only thing Reimu A needs to be perfect is no slowdown during her bomb so you can UFO chain properly, but alas one can't have everything...
Well, range would help to make the blue bullet spams in stage 3 much less agonizing. >_<
EDIT: Well, you think SG is a decent game, so your opinions are null and void. :P Damn game doesn't even WANT to be played on this computer.
EDIT 2: Anyway~ So how are YOU doing with UFO Azinth? Seriously, you guys can't do this to me. I'm not ready to be the second person outside Japan to 1cc UFO lunatic. D:

Quite a few 1cc's running around for the record. (http://score.royalflare.net/th12/level12.html#L3) (along with other unsubmitted ones; note that I stuck mine there for the sake of being in the records)
There might be a few scores lying around in the royalflare list that aren't Japanese; who knows.
-
Ooh, Zetsumarshen 1cc'd it. That makes me feel better. I can totally work with third person. 8D
Really, it's not so much that I'm confident in my skills (collecting UFOs is NOT my specialty) as it is that I see very few other people trying.
-

It's not just a decent game, it's an excellent game. Stop wasting your time on that PoS UFO and do SG lunatic plz. It's kind of lonely being the only high-level Seihou player in the west y'know... ;_; I mean, you PC-98 players at least have a handful of people to discuss the games with.

I'm currently finding no-bombs EoSD lunatic to be far more enjoyable than UFO lunatic, if that answers your question. :P I'll get to it eventually though, I'm just somewhat busy with school and thus am relegating myself to shooters that I already know well and can play casually (i.e. I don't have to grind them).

You forgot Phar :V

Phar got around to it too? Well then!
But yeah, really...I don't get why everyone hates UFO so much. Other than some really unfair sections like the blue bullet spams in stage 3 or the post-Nazrin section, the danmaku's not really any tougher than usual...is the UFO system THAT much of a killer? o_O Sure it's annoying, but success still comes down to your dodging skill.

Make the music not messed up on this computer and I'll at least do you a favor and record my SG extra run. I think the MIDI sound system the game needs isn't installed on this computer...or whatever is causing the music to sound absolutely terrible.
-
I see very few other people trying.
Eh, I might be ready to go for it.
*cue RAGE thread
The only other thing I've been trying for is SA No-Bombs, and I'm in permanent rage mode when I try that because of Yamame's opener. If I'm already in permanent rage mode, I may as well be learning UFO rather than failing at the same damn attack pattern for an hour. My history for Kisume's spell is x/180. My history for Yamame's first spell is x/45. Yamame's opener is the only reason I ever quit between those two cards. I'm fairly certain my capture rate for it is worse than Catwalk at this point.
-
You... may not want to ask about my UFO S1 History then :V
In other news I'm going for a 2nd Lunatic 1cc. This time, with ReimuA. Wish me luck.
-
'Luck. I'd really appreciate a reference replay for Reimu A.
I'm feeling more tuned in with reality now, so I may go off to 1cc UFO normal with Marisa B and finish this off. When I actually get around to 1ccing UFO hard (I'm more confident in my ability to do THAT, once I play around a bit and get used to the differences between lunatic and hard) and start lunatic, I'll just start a thread like old times to keep other threads from being clogged up...like this one is right now. :V
-
Hm, random run of UFO Reimu B, perfected the S3 aimed fairy rush spam with impromptu dodging. Maybe this game isn't as bad as it seemed (or maybe homing is just useful).
In fact, this run is going a lot better than I expected. No deaths so far. Although I still have to bomb quite a bit, at least no bombs have been completely wasted in death.
And now that I've said "this run is going a lot better than I expected", I fully expect this run to turn to absolute shit and end me before S4.
Edit: Got to Syou, died twice (once without bombs, once with) and ended there. After some practice for eliminating some unnecessary bombing in stages and learnable cards, regaining my bomb reflex in those shitty moments (losing the bomb reflex is the bad part of grinding no-bomb runs of SA), and refining my UFO strategy, this may actually be possible.
*commence the continue spam to unlock S5 and S6 for Reimu B practice.
-
Nearly 1cc'ed UFO Normal No Focus. Ended at Syou's last card because when I don't hold shift I magically forget how to bomb.
Also, almost captured Flying Fantastica No Focus. Seriously what was that.
-
when I don't hold shift I magically forget how to bomb
doesn't everyone?

There you go. UFO normal 1cc with Marisa B, 4 deaths total. NOW I will start working on hard. But not tonight. *yawn*

Nyeh, I know of at least two other people who have 1cc'd SSG Luni on these forums.
Personally, I'm at the point where I'm quite decent at both Gates and VIVIT, but the combination of only getting 6 lives + anti-deathbombing means that you basically can't make a stupid mistake along the lines of accidentally plowing into a bullet or zoning out midway through a stage only to have your attention return by noticing the fact that you just died, during an actual run, which requires grinding, and school kicking in fairly hardcore now means I lack the time for grinding Touhou/Seihou stages.
-
All SA Lunatic Stage 5 cards captured. :V
-
And, am I just slow for not noticing that the bullets on Flying Fantastica/Legendary Flying Object or on a rail so you can see their odd trajectory? I've noticed the lines before, but I thought it was somehow a fancy bomb immunity effect. Augh, now they're distracting because there are so many bullets on the last phases it's harder to read the rails than the bullets. Make me unsee~
I laughed at this hehehehe
You're supposed to see the lines, they are there all the time :P
And for an accomplishment, I reached Remilia and Yuyuko on Hard again.
I think EoSD is the easiest of the two simply because of Youmu. She's my worst nightmare right now.
-
Tried Koishi again.....
....and only 2 deaths.
First one against Genetics(stupid clip), second one againt Philosophy.....which was stupid again. Could of been 1 death easily.
Subterranean Rose only 1 bomb. My previous clear took 2 lives.
Still, this is my best Extra run overall so far. :V
-
Capped all SA Stage 6 Lunatic spell cards. :D For SA, that just leaves all the non-ReimuA Satori cards until I've capped everything.

Nyeh, I know of at least two other people who have 1cc'd SSG Luni on these forums.
Oh really now? Out of curiosity, who are they and where the hell were they when I was slaving over it for nearly three weeks back in March? >:( I could have definitely used some pointers. I'm also kind of curios if anyone also has experience with Banshiryuu(67), since I've been trying to beat that game on and off too.

Kefit was one of them, iirc, and the other's someone who doesn't post on this forum. As for BSR-C67, I don't think anyone in the West has 1cc'd that game on Luni yet (as for BSR-C74, we don't talk about BSR-C74. wtf guize. way2make your game impossible.).
-
SA extra ALL CHARACTERS CLEAR.
FINALLY.
I hate playing as Marisa in any game, and SA is probably the worst.
-
Failed IN Hard again with Reimu Solo, because I sucked ass at Hourai Jewel. So I went to practice it, and captured it after a few tries.
It's pretty much a timeout too, because there was only 1 second remaining.
I know Kaguya is invincible until the 48 seconds mark, but what about her familiars? Do they get the armor too, can you shoot them out at the start, or are they completely invincible for the whole spellcard? I don't feel like timing out the spellcard everytime I'm going for a 1cc.

You can kill the familiars early. They don't all have the same health, either. If I recall correctly, the inner two die the fastest, so go for those first.
-
Captured all Satori's Suika cards. Throwing Mt. Togakushi reminds me weirdly of a sort of inverted Scarlet Meister. Fun stuff. Deep Mist Labyrinth, on the other hand, was utterly horrible. :V
Ah well, that's enough cards capped for one day, I think.

Pretty sure Kefit never did it. I recall Kefit actually quesitoning the legitimacy of a player because he said he could 1cc SG lunatic. ;>_> Until Azinth finally did it, he maintained that it was impossible.
And on a "lol" note, I was all set to start training for UFO hard, when OMG new game! I'm sure I'll find time to squeeze in some UFO between homework and Scribblenauts, but don't hold your breath. :V

Volcano is all you need. Trust me.

Just tried an experimental scoring run with ReimuA in Subterranean Animism on Easy.
Easy - ReimuA
Momijitsuki - 412,222,470 - ALL - 0.2%
But now, I can't access Extra Stage for some reason. God damn it, WHY, I WORKED SO HARD FOR THAT :'(
-
Because Extra locks itself (for the shot type you used) if you clear the game on Easy again.
I would suggest backing up your score.dat :V
-
If only I had known that beforehand. :V
-
I've experienced it first-hand myself :V
Also, have a UFO S2 ReimuB (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4856) replay. I'm determined to capture the First Boss SC without the use of the safespot. It looks very possible, but that might be because I've clocked 200+ attempts across all shot types.

Alright, maybe not ALL you need. But there are a couple levels where a volcano does the work of three or four items in one shot. I love those things.
(Also, killing butterflies is fun)

PoFV Mystia lunatic 1cc. Replay here (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=1656.msg90223#msg90223).
-
Subterranean Rose captured.....first extra final card I've ever captured.
Only Philosophy and Genetics left.
I usually mess up on the circle around part on Genetics and not fast enough/clipping on Philosophy. Not to mention that I don't know how to move in order to not get walled by the flowers.
And Koishi is probably the easiest Extra now. :V
-
Got to Kanako's second noncard on lunatic.
Considering I usually play Normal, I think it's qualified as an accomplishment.
-
And Koishi is probably the easiest Extra now. :V
You strange, strange person. The easiest Extra is obviously EoSD. :V
Also, all of ReimuC's Satori cards captured, and Tengu Macro Burst is an evil PoS. That just leaves the Marisa cards.
-
Just captured Salamander shield in like 5 tires on lunatic. Stole my tactic for normal mode and tried it out.
It's so easy if you do it this way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7dTS0k2hxk
-
Went for another run of MS Hard today. The results were quite miserable. I lost lives before stage 5 etc. and Shinki utterly destroyed me yet again. As usual, at the Demon Recitation i lost somewhere around 4-5 lives. I just don't understand. How are you supposed to beat that? The UFO version is a complete pushover compared to the MS one.
Also... as soon as the battle with Shinki started i died instantly. Just like that. Baw! Not even a bullet on screen. What the hell is up with that?
-
Also... as soon as the battle with Shinki started i died instantly. Just like that. Baw! Not even a bullet on screen. What the hell is up with that?
Yeah, that's Shinki's sheer awesomeness being too much for your character to handle. I game overed that way once.
Apparently it's a bug that can be triggered by shooting her while she's invincible.
-
Genetics capture, finally. Almost got Subterranean Rose again that run, but I've got hit just as it ended.
That leaves only Philosophy....I hate that spell.
-
IN Hard 1cc with Reimu Solo. Got to stage 6 5/0 + that last life gotten from points. I had already 1cc'd it with Border Team, but I felt like I cheaped my way through. Reimu Solo is a pretty bad shot type though. Anything with familiars might as well be invincible. But being able to deathbomb with only 1 bomb left is pretty sweet.
The game seems quite lenient about allowing you to try Kaguya's last spells. I only managed to get enough time in the first 2 stages, I captured her 4th spell, and it was enough for her to use her 5th.
-
Yay, first capture of Monster Train and it comes in a one-bomb run of the stage (Reimu B against Parasol Star; I knew I was bombing before I even started). Screw Baity's high expectations, that's a perfect S2 as far as I'm concerned.
-
Also... as soon as the battle with Shinki started i died instantly. Just like that. Baw! Not even a bullet on screen. What the hell is up with that?
Yeah, that's Shinki's sheer awesomeness being too much for your character to handle. I game overed that way once.
Apparently it's a bug that can be triggered by shooting her while she's invincible.
There isn't much sheer awesomeness about that! Well, i suppose i shouldn't shoot before she does then... oh how i wished for stage practice. That way i could practice those darn attacks of hers i just can't beat. If i could just learn her she might even be fun... and i wouldn't have to play through the entire game just for two minutes of Yumeko...
Keep dreaming Zengeku...

MS Lunatic bug: It's because you were too high on the screen.
Here, have a timeout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4866) of Kogasa's last SC.
-
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4868
I just uploaded this since it contains a perfect stage 3, which I don't believe I've ever done before. The rest of the playthrough ranges from average to really bad (I mean who the hell dies to Daimond Blizzard or freaking st.4 kunai fairies anyway).
-
Finally captured Hourai "Fuyijiwara Volcano". It was even easy o.o
Now I just need Posses by Phoenix (damned 2nd phase!) and Hourai Doll for all extra cards captured.

Fujiwara Volcano isn't too hard if you know how to do it. But if you die, you respawn at the center of the screen, which is VERY bad, because makes it really hard to misdirect her attacks properly.
Possessed by Phoenix : The second phase is much easier if you start from one of the top corners, because it lets you stream at the bottom of the screen when you run out of space moving vertically. Move unfocused when you get near the bottom wall to create a gap, wait a bit for the bullets to aim at you, then move to the sides.
Hourai Doll : Tap up, tap right, tap down, tap left. Repeat. When she starts shooting yellow bullets, and the aimed arrows later on, continue moving in a circle, but take more space so you can dodge (move in a bigger circle).

Reminds me of Undefined Darkness.....die once and you automatically stream Nue to the bottom. Sucks. :V
-
Finally captured Secret Elixir "Lunar Incense" and New Impossible Request "Mysterium" (Shoot the Bullet scenes 9-7 and 9-8)! Took forever ; ;
-
Scribblenauts
Volcano is all you need. Trust me.
Screw you I just tried that on 1-2 and it killed the butterfly. >:(
For Scribblenauts you need to do a lot of over-the-top thinking. So just try to do the most moronic thing you could ever think about, like this (http://www.sydlexia.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=183946#183946).

No, I don't CARE if I didn't unlock Extra, I've bloody well 1cc'd SoEW Normal, SCREW IT.
Also that means I've 1cc'd all the single player danmaku shooters on at least Normal. Huzzah.
I must also note a major "WAIT WHAT THE HELL" moment: in Stage 1, a random fairy dropped a bomb.
Is that supposed to happen?

Some drop 1ups too. It's a very rare drop.

PoFV Marisa lunatic 1cc....... stupid bug ate that replay as well despite again using the "workaround" which has suddenly stopped working.
Both Marisa and Mystia (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=2075.msg90226#msg90226) are very, very good at clearing bullets in front of them, and they're also very fast, which is a Good Thing. I hear Mystia simply can't hit the lunatic AI in match mode and that Marisa doesn't do much better, but for (regular human beings playing) story mode I can't think of two better characters*.
(*edit: apart from brokenaya and lolmedicine, of course, but these doesn't count)
-
While filling out sample pictures for the Touhou Wiki I tried to get in a good shot of Light Magic "Magic Milky Way" with the spell bonus intact. The shot I was looking for would place the player between two curvy lasers with about two hitboxes' worth of room, but the stars kept scaring me away. In the end I didn't get my dream shot and received a no-miss timeout of the spell. Also, a surprise capture of Jeweled Pagoda "Radiant Treasure Gun" after not shooting for a wave and a half. And Murasa's survival.
Now I'm left with a problem on SC73 because I uploaded the wrong image. So I put up the right one, it shows the right picture but the thumbnail is still the same as SC69. Upload again several minutes later, the thumbnail from the second upload changes to SC73 and the new upload has the same thumbnail for SC69. Okay, revert to the second upload! Nope, the new revision is stuck with the SC69 thumbnail and the third upload also changes thumbnails from SC69 to SC73. I'm stumped.
-
Finally managed to capture all spell from atleast 1 extra.....Philosophy was the last spell I didn't capture, fortunately middle top=safespot :V
-
and that Marisa doesn't do much better.
I kindly disagree.
I also learned that in the process of proving my point, playing Touhou when you have the flu adds a whole new level of difficulty (read: stupid deaths that cost me both rounds).
-
Captured Hourai Doll without expecting it.....with Netherworld team.
-
FINALLY. My God I am so sick of SA Stage 4 now it's not even funny.
But anyway. Every spell card on every difficulty in SA captured, including every shot type's Satori cards. :V That just leaves UFO.
EDIT: Heh, finally managed to 1cc PoFV on Normal. Did it with Marisa, died twice to Aya and once to Shiki. Not counting the fighting games, that leaves PoDD and HRtP as the only Touhou games I've yet to 1cc on Normal. Come to think of it, I've never even 1cc'd HRtP on Easy. Huh. Maybe I should learn how to play it. :V
-
Imperishable Shooting captured after 132 attempts.
Not going to try it again, period.
EDIT: wtf lol
was going to try Alice's last word again, accidentally clicked Unseasonable Butterfly Storm....and captured it.
-
and that Marisa doesn't do much better.
I kindly disagree.
Interesting. I suspected the lasers would mess up the AI but the few matches I played in match mode to test it led me into believing that wasn't the case.... just horrible luck I guess.
-
Nearly perfect stage 5 PCB Normal run, only screwed up on the final card... Yes, this is an accomplishment <.<;
Replay: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4884
Would have been a bigger accomplishment if I could have actually captured that stupid card >.<
-
Went into to Nue with 2 lives and no bombs (ALWAYS HAPPENS) and died at Undefined Darkness, I just realized that barring green UFO and rainbow UFO, she's REALLY easy...but her stage...
-
Finally cleared UFO on normal with all characters.
o/
-
Heeeeee~? I thought since it's been nearly two days since playing Touhou my skills would have diminished, but as usual it just takes a bit to get my reflexes back. I tried running through UFO extra with Marisa A just to see if I could capture Rainbow UFO with her piercing lasers. I failed, then moved on to Nightmare of Heiankyou. Almost immediately something clicked and I figured out how to consistently dodge her first two phases. I didn't capture it though because I got lazor'd by the second phase beginning. ;>_> Game over'd from a clipdeath on Grudge Bow or however I call it.
Not one to be deterred, I tried again with Reimu A. I did embarrassingly on the stage and entered Nue with only 2 lives, but I made up for it by completely destroying her. Made my first capture of Undefined Darkness, died on Rainbow UFO (AUGH THIS CARD IS HARD), then with my newfound knowledge, captured Nightmare in Heiankyou. In other words, I captured two of the last spell cards left to capture in the game and beat Nue one death.
This means that Dipper Creeping Close and Rainbow UFOs are the only two spell cards left in UFO! :OCleared UFO on normal with all characters.
\o/
\o/ Did you manage a run that satisfied you yet?
-
o/ Did you manage a run that satisfied you yet?
That would require not screaming like a little girl whenever I see Radiant Treasure Gun.

GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWR!
*breathes atomic fire on Murasa*
Thanks for the replay Baity, but it turned out that I couldn't follow your route due to Murasa moving to an unusual place at the beginning. I did note your use of going as far as possible even if it's just one centimeter more, so maybe that's how this happened the first time after watching it.
BTW, why do you label your replays "midget?"
-
Because I'm short; it's how I earned the nickname IRL. And I've kept it ever since, which is about... 5 years ago?
-
Catwalk Lunatic capture. 6 tries. How am i supposed to time this one out? Maybe i should just postpone that till' post-VoWG timeout. And that's not going to be anytime soon.
So far, the best i've been able to do is VoWG 3-deaths timeout.
EDIT: Okay. Why the fuck can't i capture the train? I think its Kogasa's most difficult spellcard. I always align myself with the blue wave at some point. Its so annoying. 22 attempts and no sucess so far but i think i'm almost there.
But how cool is this: I'm able to capture Parasol Star Memories consistenly. That's nice enough.
-
UFO Normal clear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! finally.
Went pretty good, stage 1 and 2 perfect, some sillyness on 3. stage 4 nearly perfect.
Then failwiping on stage 5, but figured I could pretty much bombspam through it, then raging on stage 6, till I had a really good try where I captured a hard card causing me to have 2 lives and a bomb for the last 2 cards, which are pretty easy.
-
ok, wtf.
Tried EoSD Lunatic for fun.
Captured NOTHING in first 2 stages except for Moonlight Ray.
Captured China's midboss and Flower Dream Vine.
Captured Water Elf and Mercury Poison.
Captured all of Sakuya's nonspells - I usually die there on Hard.
Captured Eternal Meek. Mostly luck, but still.
Now, Remilia - out of like 30 attempts on all difficulties total, I've captured Scarlet Netherworld once and never Thousand Needle Mountain on Hard.
And here I go and capture it on Lunatic like nothing.
Almost captured Scarlet Gensokyo......around 1/10 left and I got walled. Sucks.
-
SHINKI ASDSUDFNHSGA
MS Hard, game overed on the phase before Devil's Recitation. Incidentally, Byakuren's is a POOR imitator. Shinki's version WRECKS me.
I need to a) stop dying in stupid places, like Alice (there's really no excuse), b) stop dying with 4 bombs in stock (REALLY not helping), and c) not suck at Yumeko (because I suck at Yumeko).
Still though, Hard 1cc is coming soon, methinks. Then all that will be left is SoEW (hahaNO), SA, and UFO.
-
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o142/Sapzdude/UFOLunaticcleared.jpg)
UFO Lunatic cleared. FINALLY. @_@
-
Gah, you had me thinking you 1cc'd, since this lame school computer doesn't load images since that requires technology. Then I remembered you were talking about continue spam. >_>
Also I have decided to take the plunge and try to unlock at least stage 4 for SA lunatic on all shot types. Once I capture Rainbow UFOs Satori will be the final obstacle between me and capturing every spell card in the series.
-
Pssh nah, I'm not quite up to the skill level needed for a UFO Lunatic 1cc, I haven't even 1cc'd SA Lunatic yet. Then again, I haven't really tried, so who knows. It's not really that bad compared to UFO, come to think of it.
Good luck with the Satori cards. I can guarantee that you will hate that stage even more than you do now by the end of it. :V
Hmm... which of us will cap every card first, I wonder~
-
I CAPTURED SHOU'S THIRD SPELLCARD!!! YES!!!!! On Easy mode, but still...
-
(http://i80.servimg.com/u/f80/12/80/32/92/th/th00910.jpg) (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=281&u=12803292)
Some kind of update. Note that for SC#42, I was experimenting for the most part (i.e. testing hitboxes and stuff). So discount 2 attempts off that, for a total of 0/1.
Don't ask why "Complete Clarification" is so low, and don't ask why "VoPB" is so high :V
Also, don't ask anything regarding an imperfect history of "Sinking Anchor". I already explained it; the same mistake happened twice.
-
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4896
This was quite long overdue, if I do say so myself: PCB stage 5 lunatic perfect. I went back to PCB after a long break with it and, lo and behold, my second attempt at the stage I got it. My performance on the stage portion looked kind of sloppy since I hadn't practiced it for a while, but I definitely made up for it with Youmu. I did cheese through her nonspells though... maybe one day I'll revisit the stage and fix that.
-
Not sure how much of an accomplishment this is, but I've finally shed myself of the hitbox patch for EoSD and, lo and behold, I don't need it anymore! :D
I tried a random run of EoSD Extra without the patch and despite my sleepiness I perfected the stage and captured 11 of the 13 cards. The two failures were stupid mistakes at Starbow Break and Q.E.D. mainly due to tiredness meaning I wasn't looking ahead far enough to read the bullets properly. :V
-
PCB stage 5 perfect
Second try
...
I'm gonna go in the corner now. Don't try to talk to me. ;_;
BTW Baity, I'd be amazed if ANYONE had a perfect record on Sinking Anchor, due to the fact that its whole point seems to be to surprise you the first time and make you panic until you realize how pathetically easy it is, same as Mima's charge attack in SoEW.
Pssh nah, I'm not quite up to the skill level needed for a UFO Lunatic 1cc, I haven't even 1cc'd SA Lunatic yet. Then again, I haven't really tried, so who knows. It's not really that bad compared to UFO, come to think of it.
Good luck with the Satori cards. I can guarantee that you will hate that stage even more than you do now by the end of it. :V
Hmm... which of us will cap every card first, I wonder~
Wait, did you capture Scarlet Meister? If you did, I'll have to be worried. D:
I'm not interested in making it a race though. It'll happen when it happens. And of course even if you beat it before me, I'll still have the distinction of beating all non-fighter lunatics AND capturing all spell cards if I also pull off UFO lunatic, which looks SO totally badass. :P
-
...DAMNIT I forgot about that, I still have to capture that and Scarlet Gensokyo. I can't really remember how bad Scarlet Meister is... I'm hoping it'll be like VoWG Lunatic where everyone says it's insane but it won't take too many attempts. But... that seems unlikely. ;_;
And of course even if you beat it before me, I'll still have the distinction of beating all non-fighter lunatics AND capturing all spell cards if I also pull off UFO lunatic, which looks SO totally badass. :P
Yeah, yeah. Just give me a few months. ;)
EDIT: Huh. It's not THAT bad.
Okay no I'm lying IT WAS HORRIBLE
-
Scarlet Meister: A spell card based on equally on luck and skill. If Remilia moves the wrong way it can mean anything from the card becoming even harder to being an autobomb. While it never spawns walls on its own, your positioning may make dodging a part simply impossible. Even if Remilia agrees with you though, Scarlet Meister requires an amazing amount of skill, requiring swift bullet reading of fast moving bullets and being able to dodge them as well, all while new waves are fired every two or three seconds. In the over 270 times I've played EoSD lunatic stage 6, I've captured Scarlet Meister twice.
Good luck~
-
Well, I just had two more attempts. The first had me die once at the spam fairies, once at the really easy streaming fairies and once on Sakuya's non-card. The second had me die at Eternal Meek, a bubble bullet in the first non-card AND a bubble bullet on Remi's first card.
I think it's safe to say that I am too tired to capture something like Scarlet Meister tonight. :V
And Donut... when are you getting around to the distinction of having beaten EoSD Extra no deaths? :D Or a perfect clear of it for that matter~

Shut up shut up SHUT UUUUUP! D:
I long ago made a decision to not take much stock in beating extra stages no deaths. I've done so with PCB extra, IN extra (the only one I REALLY wanted to do), MoF extra, and SA extra, but I've only ever put real effort into IN extra. It's just that ten minutes without dying once is just not something I'm into, since extra stages are a pain to grind. Though I do admit I want to beat LLS extra no deaths someday...
-
Hardest part about getting an initial capture of Meister is probably the fact that you won't even reach it every run.
Seriously, fuck 3-life practice mode.
Edit: My first capture of Meister was 1/5x, and same goes for Gensokyo (I captured the two cards about 3-4 runs apart from each other). Currently, I'm 1/108 on Meister and 1/67 on Gensokyo.
Lovely.
-
Though I do admit I want to beat LLS extra no deaths someday...
2 bombs. 1/0 if you're into scoring. Though, I use a bomb at the start to trivialize certain parts of the stage portion. It's probably easier to 1LC MS Extra.

Eh? By the time I was good enough to consider capturing Scarlet Meister I only game over'd if I REALLY sucked. The REAL hardest part is that you have to go through about 4 minutes of what can be considered filler between attempts. This is bad enough on extra stages where stuff like Genetics is easy to screw up, but it's a whole other story when said spell card you're building up to fight can go very wrong very quickly and usually goes wrong even when it goes right. Need I remind people of my one week break from Touhou Scarlet Meister caused?

It's even harder when my ability to do PC-98 extra stages suddenly went down several notches mysteriously after getting my new computer. D:

I really dislike bombing. In fact, I almost never bomb. This in itself created huge issues when trying to reach Meister, as I often suffered stupid and easily avoidable deaths. Guess I brought this upon myself though :V (alternative reason: I suck at Touhou)
Also, only after my captures of Meister and Gensokyo did I learn that the fairies before Sakuya aimed their waves at you. BAWWWWWW.
-
Heh. I learned it after watching Kefit's EoSD LP. I also learned how stage 4 wasn't as hard as I thought it was...>_>
And Eternal Meek is an autobomb unless you're feeling really lucky. When I was grinding for that no deaths clear (WHY DOESN'T IT SAVE REPLAYS? WHYYYYYY?), I soon stopped thinking that I have four bombs to use on Remilia, because 19/20 times I either died to or bombed Eternal Meek.
...Hm. I've been talking it up, but haven't gotten an accomplishment to keep on topic. I'll try and change that later tonight and start unlocking SA stage 4 for stage practice with someone other than Reimu A.
-
Haha, yes! I've captured every single card on UFO Easy mode at least once~ Maybe I should aim for capturing every card in the SERIES on Easy mode next...
-
I captured Byakuren's final spell card on Normal with Marisa B.
Finally...
-
I almost beat Sakuya in EoSD on Hard. This is an accomplishment because I haven't played EoSD hard in at least a month, let alone make it to stage 5. Now that I think about it, I don't recall ever making it to Patchy.
-
Played UFO Hard just because and actually got to Shou's second non spell.
Murasa on hard isn't too bad. Shou's a completely different story...
-
HELL YEAH, CAPTURED QED.
Now if I can capture ATWTBN.....god, I suck at survival cards :V
EDIT: PCB Hard 1cc.
Got a perfect run on midboss Youmu which helped a lot, never died with bombs except for once with 2 during the stage 6 Youmu.
Bad thing was, I've bombed Youmu's final boss spell 4 times and died once. Yeah.
Died only once on Yuyuko herself and made it with a spare life.
-
I decided to go on LLS for the first time in awhile, try to make ReimuB's pretty spread cards kill Lunatic Yuka. I also decided to give Full-Screen mode a try, which I usually don't do on the PC-98 games.
Stage 1 went fine, and then... augh. Stage 2 and 3 on Full-Screen make me rage, because Reimu's shot make it really hard to see where all the bullets are x_X
Not only THAT, but then when I fought Elly, the graphics decided to glitch up, resulting in an insane screen where the game doesn't un-draw anything, making the entire thing look like... really weird. I must screenshot that, next time I see it (Second time it happened, once with Stage 5 Yuka). Thank god they went back to normal after Elly died in a big explosion. I sucked.
Anyway, because of both of those problems, I went into Stage 4 with only 2 lives. I came out of Lunatic Marisa with 3, Stage 5 Yuka with 1, and then beat the game 0/0.
Awesome.
If I can win after reaching stage 4 with an abysmal 2 lives, I'll definitely do it on default lives sometime soon.
[EDIT] I accidently quoted and reposted my post instead of editing it. Ffff-
-
Not sure exactly where this goes, so I'll post this here.
I 1CC'd MoF Normal for the first time just a couple of minutes ago. I finished with 1 life to spare and had a couple of stupid deaths along the way. The reason I didn't know where to post this is because I almost captured VoWG on my first try ever (My previous attempts failed at the card just before.), but I died just as Kanako was blowing up.
-
So I did this really shitty play of IN hard. It wasn't even a 1cc.
Why am I posting here this? Because I beat Tewi's second pattern without moving at all.
:V
-
Finally capped Star Maelstrom with ReimuA.
I have but one card left to capture with her on normal modo, and that would be SPINNY GREEN LASERS.
PS: MarisaB sucks, but the crowning irony of her horrible horrible back shot is that it makes capturing SPINNY GREEN LASERS viable.
-
PS: MarisaB sucks, but the crowning irony of her horrible horrible back shot is that it makes capturing SPINNY GREEN LASERS viable.
Not to be a MarisaB hater or anything, but the backshot only really does enough damage to kill the fodder fairies. It won't make any noticeable difference to that spellcard at all; ReimuB probably helps though.

Obviously. I'm suspecting that your 50% higher movement speed might play a role in that.
OT: I just captured Kogasas final spell on Lunatic. That took 25 attempts. Very embarassing. I just kept lining myself up properly. Well, now that's done with i'll proceed to Stage 3 for some maltreatment.

Forgot to address this. ReimuB > MarisaB in terms how quickly the shot type can end the "Spinning Lasers", seeing as you have to unfocus (may or may not be a good thing) to enable the rear shots. Furthermore, you have to be at 3.xx or 4.00 Power.

Both true. Unfocusin' ain't a problem fer me, though, an' neither is the second requisite. Plus, the card gives me these wonderful StB-esque vibes that ah simply adore. Largely 'cause ah'm a raving StB fangirl. :V
AND GAWDDAMNIT, DONUT, I HATE UFO NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY.
Even if it does have delicious awesome sexy Byakuren.

Alright Ruro, let's do this! How do I activate Scarlet Weather Rhapsody of all Mankind?
...Ruro? Ruro?! RUROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-gck! X_X
-
Finally managed to do another extra stage clear in IN (not that I was trying hard or anything). Improved my score from 1,1 billion tot 1,2 billion :V Also to my surprise I managed to capture 7 cards which means I unlocked the last word spell, which caused me to unlock another last word spell... which ALSO unlocked a last word spell! ;D And so far out of those 3 only 1 seems possible ::) And I captured Possesed by Phoenix and almost that last one after that (hourai something)!
Oh and I forgot to save my replay :-[
-
Just to get it out of the way, I feel bad for forgetting to save the top image under the right file type. Now it's blah grainy.
Anyway, still no drive to graze more attacks on Easy so how about some actual dodging in the meantime? A few attempts to cap Scarlet Meister, but what followed in that very same practice run was...
(http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/778/sgc.png)
The bottom image is about two days old, I couldn't think of a spot to put it up (maybe behind a bad score submission). Just an 'oh, that's a nice coincidence' thing. Forgot to add this earlier, but it wasn't until I had a bunch of images lined up under the snapshot folder that I could appreciate the eye candy offered by the stage 4-6 spells, or most other spells for that matter.
-
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o142/Sapzdude/ScarletGensokyo.jpg)
Hell yeah! Scarlet Gensokyo capt-
Scarlet Gensokyo capture.
;_;
Also, it's very irritating to survive the first two full waves of Scarlet Meister only to have a total wall sent at you just when you've nearly captured it. Blargh. Still, maybe I'll get it tomorrow.
-
I actually have a relatively good capture rate with Scarlet Gensokyo. I believe it's about 30 captures or so out of 270 or so. It's such an amazing card~
-
Just had a little epiphany that may possibly increase my capture rate of Byakuren's first spell card: The animated bullet waves naturally force you to the left, so why not comply? Start a bit to the right of Byakuren and work with them.
Also to save a post on the embarrassments thread: When LFO goes wrong, IT GOES WRONG. I made it to LFO with only one death, accidentally forgot the route and died, then proceeded to die 5 more times before I finally beat her. I absolutely cannot allow myself to do this in a real run.

MoF Lunatic 1cc, 125% speed. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4925) Holy bombspam.
-
"FS -Fader-"IN S4A SC2 captured at 90 FPS.
Uploading. Processing, etc. Very difficult until I got the hang of the speed. Not going to go for 120 FPS because I can't record it (100 FPS is the limit), and I also can't read anything that goes that fast. The fact that everything becomes pretty much a blur makes reading sprays of bullets impossible.

I got to UFO Stage 6 Hard... without continuing!
The sad part is I can't beat it no matter how many continues I used. BLEH.
-
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4931
MoF Stage 6 Lunatic No Deaths. Almost got another VoWG capture too. Bombed Source of Rains because that card sucks. 4 Options is too good.
-
Captured Descent of Izuna Gongen.....the hardest phase ended before it even properly started :V
Funny thing is, I've lost most of my lives in stage then 2 early on thanks to clipdeath, but from Princess Tenko on I didn't die even once.
EDIT: 1 miss 7 bombs Ran on next attempt....603m something score.
I still can't capture Kokkuri-san. Stupid frogger.
-
Successfully continue-spammed my way through UFO Hard, capturing LFO in the process for some bizzare reason.
-
Captured Yukari's Double Death Butterfly :V
That was the only good thing at that run though....2 stage deaths, both stupid, clipped her second nonspell AND second spell, 2 deaths on Shikigami: Ran Yakumo and finished it off with a frogger death.
Misses: 7
Bombs used: 8
:V

I was trying to capture Mokou's Fujiyama Volcano... then I realized "Hey, all these explosions are huge groups of familiars, right?". So I picked up the Magic Team and murdered the spellcard in 18 seconds. FINALLY.
Alice's laser is the most hax familiar killer ever. Shift key, tap-tap-tap~

It shouldn't even be arguable. MAlice Cannon IS outright cheating. Worse than MarisaBugged.
On top of that, Fujiyama Volcano is loleasy once you know how to do it. It isn't obvious by any means and figuring it out yourself can take ages, but once you find a particular trick (I found it completely by accident when cornered in what looked like a less-than-optimal position), the card becomes trivial.
How hard is actually Mishaguji-sama?

I captured it on my first try, so it can't be hard. (reached it with no lives in stock so I pretty much had to, which certainly played a part.)
Also, it's basically "Hourai Exilir on steroids" as I read somewhere, and we have all been there before, right?

Her survivals though.....meh. Worst extra stage IMO, too much clipdeath and if you don't exactly know what to do, you'll get walled all the time.
Not to mention that I've got only 2 lives extra - 1 from Kanako and another from scoring.....I didn't even reach the second score life >.>
-

It's very easy. Completely pathetic for a final extra card, IMO. :V Until you try to time it out, that is. You can easily beat it without even moving vertically at all.
-
You can also beat it without moving horizontally, but that's pushing it a bit :V

Her first survival is actually easy; have the Suwakos always attack you horizontally, from the center of the screen to outside and back, and twice in a straight line when changing sides. When the second Suwako enters you'll the horizontal lines will probably have to become les horizontal but it's still very manageable; just make sure both are going in the same direction before changing lanes. Suwa War is nasty though and basically becomes a complete clusterfuck near the end.
And yes, most of the Suwako fight is either knowing what to do and making it trivial or not knowing and getting walled. Then comes Rainbow Jelly Laser Clipdeath Time which always leaves me with something like 1.xx power for Froggy Braves the Elements, a good thing considering how much I love that card. Q: would I like to need to spend about twice as much time on it for a capture?, A: of course, etc.
-
MAlice cannon is actually not that bad, minus for cards with a huge amount of familiars. For Damage, you get some pretty shitty & awkward movement if you just mash the shift button. And it's actually weaker then MarisaBugged anyways.
-
I've TAS'd Fujiyama Volcano with Malice Cannon.....tore through her lifebar in 3 seconds :V
By the way, you don't need to misdirect the first familiar - you can FLY THROUGH IT. And easily at that.
EDIT: Here you go :V (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwviDKKiCJE)
-
I finally captured Honest Man's Death in spell practice. It's a pretty small accomplishment, but it's taken more attempts for me to capture it than any other spell card I've reached. However, the fact that it took me almost 40 attempts to figure out the (pretty simple) trick to beating it is a bit irritating.
-
Someone should TAS a Ghost wheel lunatic where they just run though those little gaps the wheel creates.
Accomplishments? Well small one, I finally caught Hizari's 2nd to last card on normal , funny cause at first I was like this card is pretty easy, then I would run in a bullet randomly. It's...deceptive ...
Stupid long life bars.

I have just reached Aya... On Lunatic :D
That was amazing, I didn't know I could get so far without continues =)
-
Finally captured Rainbow UFOs. With this, I have captured every spell card in UFO! :D
Now only 15 spell cards remain in the entire series that I haven't captured...
Satori...you have been my arch nemesis since I first fought you and hated your fight. I have toiled to capture just the Reimu A spell cards...it's only fitting that you would be my final opponent. 5 shot types, 3 spell cards each, all a painful reminder of the past struggles it took to get this far. I will not falter. I WILL TRIUMPH! YEAH!!!!!!
In other words, my new goal is to capture the remaining 15 spell cards in SA, all Satori's. Once I do that, I will have captured every spell card in the series.
-
ReimuA has the hardest Satori fight FYI. The other Satori fights are all really fun. ESPECIALLY Alice's, Patchy's, and Suika's.
-
SA stage 4 lunatic Reimu C unlocked. The biggest problem with this is DEFINITELY going to be my utter incompetency with anyone in SA other than Reimu A. I hate how for how little damage Reimu C's shot does, how hard it is to even keep it centered. At least its bomb got me through alright. I even captured Storm Day (or whatever her first spell card is). Tengu Macro Burst is going to be...a thing though.
14 spell cards remaining...

...Far be it from me being able to actually brag about something, but those are really, really fun fights, especially Suika's which I'm most familiar with. Of course, I've only played them on Easy, so...
@Donut: In my not-expert opinion, if you can play ReimuA, you can play ReimuB. It just takes a little longer, that's all.
Edit to avoid double-postan:
After a day of failing UFO Easy and Normal (I can usually get to Byakuren and Murasa's last attacks in each difficulty mode with ReimuA), I head to Shoot the Bullet out of a random urge and got this. I'm sure it's nothing to most of you guys, but I think it's quite nice~

I'm guessing you people aren't very familiar with Lunatic Deep Mist Labyrinth. @_@ Much harder than BoWaP, IMO. I also found Mercury Poison really difficult but maybe that's just me.

BoWaP Lunatic isn't really much of a step-up from the Hard version anyway. I timed it out almost immediatly after capturing it. Its a static spellcard so as soon as you have the spellcard down its not too bad.
But no. I guess not too many people are familiar with the lunatic versions of many spellcards. Especially not the Satori ones as most people probably use ReimuA. I'm looking forward to challenging them myself though.
OT: Captured Ichirin's 3rd boss card on Lunatic. I'm still always fucking up the 2nd ones which is very annoying but i'm happy to have captured the 1st and 3rd ones. UFO Lunatic is nowhere near as fun as earlier lunatics. I thought SA was pushing it... but that was just the beginning of it.
-
Seriously...I've gotten all the individual stages of UFO lunatic down to one or two deaths each. IT'S NOT THAT BAD.
-
YES! Mountain of Faith Lunatic 1CC. I'm sure better when i'm practicing. Its nice to have done it though. I guess i should try and do Imperishable Night next.
Seriously...I've gotten all the individual stages of UFO lunatic down to one or two deaths each. IT'S NOT THAT BAD.
Well, just make that no-deaths then. That has pretty much been possible for the majority of pre-UFO Lunatic stages. And i would also love to see someone do a no-bombs run of the game which was possible with MoF and SA. (And probably the earlier too. I just don't have any examples of no-bomb runs of those)
-
What's so hard about PCB stage 4 again? I've done a Lunatic run out of curiosity, and most of the hard stuff is dodged just by not shooting. The final fairies are just tapping.
Neither Lily nor Prismrivers are THAT threatening even on Lunatic....hell, Stradivarius Hard > Stradivarius Lunatic.
Youmu on the other hand.....I shat myself :V

Syou's spinny green lasers captured with ReimuA.
HAH.

Stages 3 and 4 (and 2?) have all been no bomb/no death'd by various persons, and Baity has shown that a perfect stage 5 is doable. Byakuren seems doable as well since, aside from her first spellcard, her battle seems relatively devoid of bullshit (note: this statement is based off watching replays). Not to mention UFO gives you potentially more extends than any other Touhou game that came before it. It might be harder than a lot of the others, but I don't see why no-bombing it couldn't be possible.
Also, in UFO's defense, although it might possess some really silly and broken patterns here and there, it's still a thousand times better designed than Banshiryuu C-74. So, take some comfort in that.

... oh god, you're right, I never knew most of the kedama bullets were retaliatory. Even on Easy that makes things a hell of a lot more easy.

I've tried again(ReimuB) and there were pretty much no points where I would have to bombspam.
The part after Lily is a bit hard, but if you are using either a homing character or ReimuB unfocused, it's not THAT hard.
It's not the easiest or hardest stage in the world, just saying that it gets a bit too much credit.

Oh? What's that, Remilia? You're going to fire walls in every direction AND walls aimed at me? And they're going to travel close to the speed of light, you say?

Yeah, no. Scarlet Meister Lunatic captured. At long last.
[size=9]YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH[/size]
Goddamn. I don't even know how many attempts that took, I rage-retried before finishing the stage most of the time, but I'd guess around 200. Sweet Jesus. I am so pleased with this. The UFO Lunatic cards seem like a cakewalk compared to that. I must grudgingly admit that this is probably more difficult than Hourai Jewel.
So, uh, does that make me a 'super player' now, or what? ;D
-

No, you have to do it without the updated look patch. :p

Made me try lunatic Remi again. Only thing which I've managed was another Needle Mountain capture.
I have no idea how did I manage to capture Eternal Meek before.....it's pure batshit.

Eternal Meek seems to randomly alternate between being quite easy and insanely difficult (regardless of rank). It's just a matter of luck if you get walled or not, I think. :V

I hate you so much. ;_;
On a random other note, I now think Vampire Illusion is equally as fun if not moreso than Scarlet Gensokyo. It's kind of difficult to describe why I like it on top of it being more likely to wall you... I just like the way the lines of bullets flip themselves, and also that you can capture it with tiny, tiny, well-planned out movements and it looks amazing when you do it right. IMO, anyway.

I've demonstrated 2 to be possible to NDNB (done it with SanaeB, 1 stupid death on the last SC with ReimuB).
Stage 3 requires memorization, and so does Stage 4. Maybe some luck for Stage 4 and that evil last non-spell.
Stage 5 is a bit more difficult, though I did just recently find a replay on yet another method to deal with the pre-boss waves, this time combining my method and donut's method, as well as various other things we brainstormed.
Stage 6 is simple enough. Some luck-based things (read: learn to dodge on-the-fly), but that's really it. If I was really bothered to, I could actually perfect the entire stage quite easily. I just don't like failing the first SC ~75% of the time, then after that, randomly clipping on the second non-spell.
...I think that covers everything about UFO really. The only thing that's utter crap is the random boss movement, which can dramatically alter the difficulty of certain Spell Cards (I'm looking at you Kogasa).

Played EoSD Lunatic just for fun, and nearly managed to reach Patchouli. I managed to reach the last set of books, you know, where it has the bullet-clearing fairy and all the white things? Yeah.
Also, because I don't feel like making a separate post in the RAGE thread right now... What the hell is with stage 3 on Lunatic? O_o Dear god, so many knives, not enough room to move effectively when they're coming so fast AAAGGH!!! And then Meiling's first nonspell is a complete nightmare >.< And it doesn't take much damage at all from bombs T_T Stage 4 is quite possibly EASIER than stage 3 ._.
My goal is to at least reach Patchouli's first spell on Lunatic... I'll probably take a break from trying for now though.
On a side note, Cirno tends to make me go "Screw staying under her, I'm just trying to stay alive!" And her first nonspell is bad too, though not as bad as Meiling's since the first nightmarish phase isn't repeated OVER AND OVER...
-
Timeout of Devil's Recitation (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xf0dsWgZN8&fmt=22) without deaths/bombs, after getting it to the last phase as quickly as possible (4P ReimuA).
I also timed out Legendary Flying Saucer with two deaths, again after getting it to the red phase ASAP. Fun stuff. There's a pattern to be detected in it, but the random factors make it pretty much impossible to micromemorize. Probably possible to no-death with a bit a lot of luck.
-
Malice Cannon FUCK YEAH (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ0QBl6LCYM)
Hmm....is there any other card that you can finish this fast? :V

Just got to Koishi for the first time (MarisaB, would've been no-death if I hadn't clipped the second-to-last fairy :x).
Now off to the rage thread for Ancestors Standing Beside Your Bed. :V
-
I just played EoSD stage 4 for the first time in quite a while (for some reason I haven't been playing most of the games lately), and immediately pulled off a one death clear with Marisa A. Nice to see I still got it. 8D

Whoa. Why did I wait so long before trying out the vsync patch. Went from 5 restarts in a row before Letty to getting my first captures of Table Turning, Crusading Cherub's Rampage, Kimontonkou, Benevolent Orleans Dolls and Spring Kyoto Dolls in the very first run after installing the goddamn thing (along with some 4 or 5 more captures I already had managed before). Of course I completely forgot how to do Alice's nonspells, found a way to die with bombs in stock to Maiden's Bunraku, and ended up ragequitting just before Lily because I messed up stage 4 royally, but hey.
ReimuB, by the way. This should be fun - suddenly PCB's lunatic seems very, very manageable. Certainly easier than UFO's hard.

This sounds familiar. I was having trouble 1cc'ing the Hard - did it, with ease, on my first try with the patch.
-
I beat every lunatic before I installed the vsynch patch. :V
Anyway, I suddenly had a burst of danmaku inspiration and did two things:
Beat PCB stage 4 no deaths. Not much of an accomplishment due to the obscene amount of lives you can get in practice mode, but it was still something.
Unlocked Reimu B's Satori fight. Considering how bad this shot type is, I somehow almost made it all the way to Orin. o_O Now I have to unlock this with the Marisa shot types...ugh.
-
Oh ho, what's this~?
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4955
My third EoSD lunatic 1cc. Featuring stage 5 where I nearly perfect Sakuya, only dying at Killing Doll. Ignore how shameful my Remilia fight is; I can do much better than I did but I didn't want to take any chances.
-
1cc UFO Normal MarisaA etcetc whatever

Special bonus! Capture of Great Whirlwind! Still suck at Tengu Macro Burst. :(
I also failed to capture any of Suika Satori's spell cards when I tried. :( I see what has to be done with Throwing of Mt. Macguffin, but it's pretty intense. I flubbed up Pandemonium when I almost had it, and don't even have the foggiest slightest clue of what to do on Deep Mist Labrynth.

You can do it, Donut! Suika~
I kinda took a break from Touhou today, but I'm going to keep trying UFO Easy and Normal tomorrow. I've been spamming ReimuA, but I think I'll try a different character tomorrow to see if I'm really consistent or not...
-
I captured Star Maelstorm (first capture), St Nikou's Air Scroll (first capture), Devil's Recitation (first capture), and all of Byakuren's openings (first capture for some) in one run :D. Of course I can't do that again, but it certainly gets my spirits up.

Beat all Ichirins Lunatic spells. Fuck this is hard. If i compare to MoF, the only spellcard that has taken me over 20 attempts to capture would be Virtue of Wind God. I know Mountain of Faith is considered the easiest lunatic but isn't that mainly because you can bomb-spam a lot of it? UFO Lunatic is a devil. The spellcards are incredibly difficult, moreso than ever before (a few exceptions of course... scarlet meister, hourai jewel that stuff) and the stages are murderous.

"GRT" 2 Deaths 2 Bombs timeout. Video in a bit. It's laggy because I forgot to tweak my settings, and of course, I also replaced the music~
...for some reason, I also had to downgrade my version of Fraps because 2.9.9 wouldn't anchor to the emulator, yet 2.9.8 would.
EDIT: I'm also working on a 1LC of LLS Extra :V
What, WHAT. YES, now I can finally try to record a 1cc of LLS Lunatic on default lives.
On the downside, recording with fraps lowers my fps from 56~60 to somewhere in the 40s. Ah... well, at least that lowers the chance I mess up while recording ^^;
[edit]Although the sound is fine while I play... the recording fraps gets is just ear-rape. Its worse then anex86 with the default settings.
I did try anex86 too, fraps messed up, constantly stopped/started recording. Blah. I'll just have to record T98-Next without sound and add some in later. Makes the fps a lot better while I play, at least.
-
WTF Orin
Captured Cat Walk on Hard.....but it was almost a timeout. :V
Watching the replay, I've got the spellcard bonus just as the timer ran out.
-
So...DOES it anchor to full screen? Seriously I want to know if ANYTHING can, because I really want to record PC-98 but really don't want to play windowed. ;_;
-
Oh hey Baity I did it.

Yay, 1cced PCB Normal.
It felt special to me since the last time I practiced Stage 6 on someone else's score.dat, I didn't even get to Resurrection Butterfly.
Replay is riddled with stupid deaths and border breaking on purpose.
-
11/17 Last Words now.
These which are left are Deflation World, Scarlet Destiny, Blazing Star, Youmu's LW and.....Fantasy Heaven >.>
Is it really that hard?
-
It's not that difficult in terms of actual dodging (until the last ten seconds or so) but you have to memorize near enough exactly the right route for the whole thing. It took me a lot of random testing of different routes and experimenting with weird dodges before I actually managed it around 360-370 attempts in. :V I imagine it'd probably be substantially easier if you watched a replay, though; but then, where's the fun in that?
-
And for the "clear Hard or Lunatic with Reimu solo, choose FinalB" can I start with 7 lives? Reimu apparently isn't the strongest character+I hate Kaguya....

Yup, you can. And if you didn't do the Lunatic-only one yet, your allowed to use continues (as long as you decide to pick FinalA).

...And, predictably enough, I capture Consecutive Hooks on the next attempt after complaining about it. :V Anyway, all Ichirin cards capped and I also managed to capture Byakuren's first card, which was a nice surprise. That leaves two CAPTAIN MURASA cards, all four Shou cards and five Byakuren cards before I've capped every card in the series.

Blah, guess that means you'll beat me to it. Oh well~
...For some reason, this gave me a really strange feeling that you've just performed some bizzare reverse jinx and are now going to capture everything very very fast. :V Nothing's set in stone yet, anyway... I imagine LFO Lunatic will be giving me a lot of trouble.
Oh, and before I forget, I just tried Imperishable Shooting for the first time in months a few hours ago. My history was 1/272; it's now 2/273. Goddamn it's nice to see improvement.
-
I'd be surprised if I beat you to it. I've discovered that much of Byakuren is memorization, and many of her spell cards can be micromemorized. Meanwhile, all of Satori's cards require pure skill and are followed by a rather dull stage (though thankfully it's not as long as some other stage 4s).
-
2-deaths Remilia Lunatic. Captured everything but Scarlet Meiser and Gensokyo. Geez, that Scarlet Meister sure is a mess. I don't even see any gaps in it. Still, that's not to different from Scarlet Gensokyo. Damn thing likes to wall you. That's pretty normal for Remi though. Sort of her style, i guess. What an annoying gimmick.

Scarlet Meister goes one of two ways. Either you get very good at misdirecting bullets, watching your hitbox while reading the top half of the screen at the same time and get very, very, very lucky, or you die a horrible death. :V I'm of the opinion that it's actually kind of broken; the luck involved combined with that the dodging is amongst the most difficult in any card even when you do get lucky makes it even more unreasonable/BS than Peerless Wind God. At least in that card, when you get lucky you actually have a decent chance of capturing it.
Oh, and congrats. :P Don't think I've managed that yet.
-
Meme in my comments? (http://www.youtube.com/comment_servlet?all_comments&v=brX0Srttla4)
:V...
-
Maybe it's because I've played Remilia WAY too much, but I find two deaths to be disappointing. :P The reason I'm not really satisfied with that 1cc last night was because I bombed like crazy on Remilia to try and preserve my lives and ended up just dying twice. One deaths is my goal, but another no deaths run someday would be...
Anyway, captured Deep Fog Labrynth. :D It's actually a very clever and fun spell card, and is pretty suspenseful too. Pandemonium is just :| though. Also I tried Marisa C Satori again, and WTF. Kappa's Porocoa or whatever its INFERIOR normal name is was pretty luck garbage even in MoF, only balanced by its hilariously low lifebar. Now it's thicker, lasts longer, and has to be done with Marisa's hitbox... T_T
Any tips on Trauma in the Glimmering Depths? I figure it's the same as the real card and has static safespots, but they're not the same and if anything the safespots are nonexistent when you factor in the random bullets. D:
Still... 11 spell cards remaining. :O
-
Trying to record LLS Lunatic with fraps is rage-inducing since it makes the game skippy sometimes. (Although the video is perfect and skip-less, at least. Soundless, but perfect. Eh.) I try to move a tiny bit, then the game speeds up for half a second and I zoom into a bullet :'(
So, I went and did LLS Extra without fraps on for fun, and while trying to beat it with ReimuB instead of Marisa for Reimu's clear picture, I decided to see how ReimuA is. And then I beat it with my first try of ReimuA.
Funfun.
-
whaaaaaaat
Trying to record at the same time as speeding the game up makes it slower than slowing the game down does. It looks like nobody will ever see the hardships I endured as I have.
-
I just...what. Cleared SA Extra with no deaths. Odd, considering my previous clear (my ONLY clear) ended with zero lives left, and this run came just after about three "Game Over on Genetics" runs.
I FORGOT TO SAVE THE REPLAY THOUGH.

inb4edonutrage
Captured Rainbow UFOs.

Captured Blue UFOs on my first try! ;)

8 spell cards remaining, finally beat Kappa's Porororororororororolex Watch. I may as well attempt to unlock stage 4 with Marisa A now, since Pandemonium and Exteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeending Arm are the only two left available that I haven't captured.

How harder is lunatic Pandemonium compared to getting those StB's last two pictures, considering defensive shots were out? Seeing as apparently Satori's Pororoca is far nastier than Nitori's.

Hey, gimme a break. I've only fought her five times. I could maybe have gotten it one-death if i bombed Scarlet Meister rather than trying at it. And Scarlet Gensokyo made a wall.

@_@ PADDO JANAI YO!!!
Even though I've captured 6 spell cards today (huh, guess Sapz was right :V), this capture of Pandemonium seems like the only one that matters. Nothing like 40 minutes of attempts ending in failure, coming back 10 minutes later with only one thing on your mind: "Paddo Janai yo. It is not a pad. It's a drawn bra. ALL HAIL BRITTANIA!" ...You guys didn't think I was ACTUALLY sane, did you? :V Anyways, as usual I captured it my first try. This takes care of all of Reimu's Satori cards, leaving only six more until the end...
Straw Doll Kamikaze
Return Inanimatedness
Mercury Poison
Princess Undine
Philisopher's Stone (guess who I still need to unlock?)

Oh yes, one thing that I haven't really taken note of but is definitely true: As a result of me playing SA stage 4 in the realm of 30 times today, I've FINALLY learned the stage. AT LONG LAST.

Yeah, but your spell cards aren't that bad. Which ones do you have left again? I'm sure I could even help you!'sides, I'm not going to be able to power through the game like I did yesterday due to various things going on today.
Also, it really is nice to be able to capture Terrifying Hypnotism with any level of consistency. Still, it seems to be 50/50. :(
EDIT: Oh wow, a single morning run allowed me to capture Return Inanimatedness. The game crashed upon beating her but I don't care, since I still captured it.
5 spell cards remain...wow, I'm down to the final countdown. O_O

You've actually beaten most of the hard ones, I think... the only one you have left I had trouble with is Mercury Poison. The cards I have remaining are Murasa's 2nd and 4th, every Shou card and every Byakuren card minus her first one which I, for some reason, find quite a lot easier than most of her other cards. :V Granted I haven't really tried any of them more than a few times in practice and bombing my way through them while continuespamming, so maybe they're not as hard as I think.
And congrats to Bananamatic. :P That card is evil, that's actually a relatively low number of attempts, hehe.
-
Blazing Star, 29 attempts. Only 2 LWs+Yukari's left.
EDIT: Only Yukari's left. Got down the PCB part in one go, then I was pretty much clueless.... :V
-
Capped all of Murasa's cards. Only nine to go. The cap of Sinkable Vortex wasn't as impressive as the timeout, though... as such I've got the timeout replay saved by not the actual capture. :V Well, whatever. Time to get murdered by Shou, I guess.
And for Yukari's Last Word... the fun comes from figuring it out yourself, IMO, but if you get really, really stuck, this is how to do it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rU2hRP5M0Ls). It's totally static, so this will work every time, I think.
EDIT: Well, that was an interesting revelation. After many failures at Radiant Treasure Gun, I had the idea of instead of watching the bullets, concentrate solely on my hitbox just like I used to before I learned about reading bullets from far away. Capped Radiant Treasure Gun and Complete Clarification on my first attempts with this method. That leaves seven.
-
I have problems with Exteeeeeeeeeeeending Arm. Big problems. Oh well, my goal is to unlock Marisa B so I can tackle every card, but I REALLY want to capture it. And download that replay Baity made so I can see how Straw Doll Kamikaze is "trivial." All this fit in with back to school night and a big psychology paper due tomorrow. I'm still confident you can beat me, especially since Byakuren's spell cards are mostly memorization combined with some dexterity.

Cleared Yukari's Last Word in IN.
However, heavy TAS frosting.

Byakuren's cards are the ones I'm not too worried about... the real bastard spell card right now is predictably enough Vajira of Perfect Buddhism. Over 30 attempts now on that...
At any rate, Byakuren's cards will most likely have to wait until tomorrow anyway since I have a load of maths to be getting on with. <_< I want to capture Vajira today, though. Oh, and I managed Aura of Justice. Six left.

From the ineffectual Shackles a Criminal Can't Remove to the unbelievable frustrations of Omoikane's Brain to the sheer terror of Scarlet Meister, Donut has braved many trials on his journey to capture every spell card in the series. Now, only one remains. This will be the ultimate challenge Donut has ever faced. WILL HE TRIUMPH? OR WILL HE FALL? IT IS THE ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN OF ULTIMATE DESTINY.
DONUT

I know I specifically set out to capture all the hardest spell cards a long time ago and this is why this has happened, but still...MERCURY POISON? Couldn't I have picked a better final opponent? Then again, looking back, here's all the EPIC choices of final spell cards of each game before this:
EoSD: Bury in Lake
PCB: Pseudo-Stradivarius
IN: Hourai Elixir
MoF: Hydro Camouflage
UFO: Rainbow UFOs
Meh. :\ Still, one spell card left is pretty exciting.

Sorry for teh double posting, but this IS the end to a long post spam.
Sorry Sapz. :( Looks like I won your race. As soon as I saw a certain pattern in Mercury Poison, it was captured unceremoniously.

How many spell cards are in lunatic/extra altogether again? Well anyway, I captured them all. Every last one of 'em bitches.
*head spins from gradual realization of this*

Goddammit, you made me unlock for nothing. Wasted 6-7 continues in the process, with 1-2 of them being on Stage effing 1.
At least I got Mercury Poison in the process.

Actually, that's something I've been wondering about for a while... who else has actually managed to perfect EoSD Extra? I mean it stands to reason that some of the people that are better players than me have probably done it, but I don't actually know of anyone who has. :V

I came very very close once. I accidentally died on Q.E.D. ;_;

THANK GOD FINALLY
Jesus Christ, that felt like Scarlet Meister all over again. Vajira of Pefect Buddhism Lunatic: 1/55. <_< That was the only time I've ever reached that card at 4.00 power.
That just leaves Byakuren's last five cards as the only cards in the series I've yet to capture. Should be some nice fun normal dodging after Shou's bullshitty gimmick lasers.
-
So, I cleared SWR with all characters on Easy mode. Remilia's route was hell for one simple reason: Yukari. Seriously, what's with all the stupid pretty-much-undodgable-if-you-try-to-attack cards?
-
Capped Superhuman pretty fast and I just captured Magic Butterfly and LFO on the same run. Devil's Recitation and Magic Milky Way are the only cards I have yet to capture. :V I'm thinking I can finish this today without too much trouble - none of Byakuren's cards seem as unreasonable as Vajira or Radiant Treasure Gun.
-
I find Magic Milky Way to be easiest if you dodge with as little horizontal movement as possible. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the lasers are static, or at the very least predictable. Just use vertical movements to macro dodge and micro dodge the stars as they come.
Devil's Recitation is just yeah. :V Stay away from the bottom at all costs, for it is a disguised death trap.
-
Magic Milky Way capped; I just stayed up Byakuren's skirt for most of the card for the Sanae shotgun so it ended pretty fast. :V That just leaves Devil's Recitation... I've almost captured this so many times. >_< Still, I don't imagine it'll take too long.
EDIT: ...Hell yes. Devil's Recitation captured; which means all Hiziri cards captured; which means all UFO Lunatic cards captured; which means every single spell card on every difficulty in every game of the series captured. At last.
Awesome.
...This may have sounded more impressive had Donut not just achieved the same thing yesterday. :V
Ah well. Hmmm... what next?

Congratulations, you two!
Now you can go do it with every shot type :V
Also, not really an accomplishment, but I tried to scorerun UFO Extra with MarisaA. Considering I beat it the first time I tried with MarisaA and haven't done it since, beating my previous score shouldn't be too hard... right?
I pumped up my Item Value to like 33k or so, had nearly 100m at Kogasa, capped lots of Nue's cards... and only beat my other score by about 22,000 points. What.
At least MarisaA's Extra Spellcard Record now has every card capped with only 2 tries on each one for her. It looks pretty ::)
-
Capture Hourai Jewel Lunatic with Reimu solo.
:V
-
Yeah, congratulations. I'm not even good enough to capture every card in the series on EASY mode myself <.<;
Now do perfect Lunatic and Extra runs of every game *shot*
-
I find Magic Milky Way to be easiest if you dodge with as little horizontal movement as possible. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the lasers are static, or at the very least predictable. Just use vertical movements to macro dodge and micro dodge the stars as they come.
They're just predictable lasers. If they were static, I'm quite sure that my capture rate would be ~100%.
Now do perfect Lunatic and Extra runs of every game *shot*
Actually, you just gave me an idea.
-
...Hmm, okay, new goal for now. Perfect run of PCB Extra stage.
Capture Hourai Jewel Lunatic with Reimu solo.
:V
NO
NEVER
;_;
Actually I might try that if I get bored
-
Oh? You've beaten every spell card on every difficulty? Well in that case, take that as your consolation prize, because I only focused on lunatic/extra. With a few exceptions, there's no reason why capturing something on lunatic shouldn't essentially capture it on everything below that. The only exceptions I can think of are the Prismriver's third spell card on easy modo (seriously, WTF?), Misayama Hunting Ritual (I captured it never again) and Mountain of Faith easy, and I eventually captured these too.

Youmu's second boss card is pretty much a different card on Easy/Normal from on Hard/Lunatic too, at least judging from screenshots, so maybe add that to the list. (Though on Easy it's also pretty damned trivial, so it's probably not worth counting anyway. :V)
-
I vaguely remember Youmu's second spell card on normal. Complete joke, that card.

Well the reason I did that was that I started capturing them when I was much less skilled so I started with aiming for Easy and kept moving up as my skill allowed. :V
Capture Hourai Jewel Lunatic with Reimu solo.

/me cackles insanely
Hey, guess what. Here's a timeout of Hourai Jewel Lunatic with Reimu Solo (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4996).
I have conquered my irrational fear of Hourai Jewel! Huzzah!

Hey, guess what. Here's a timeout of Hourai Jewel Lunatic with Reimu Solo (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4996).

Still going to try that tomorrow, though~

Yeah, I just haven't played much PCB Normal yet so I haven't seen it on that difficulty, but I'm really not surprised at all. Frankly none of Youmu's cards scare me (her non-cards are another story, largely because I can't quite get the hang of redirecting the opener...), but Karmic Punishment is so very loleasy.
-
*yawns*
Just did a random practice run of UFO stage 4 hard, beat it with one death in the last ten seconds of Dipper Creeping Close. Compared to lunatic it's so tame...
For some reason I'm not feeling danmakuish tonight, but if I have a change of heart I may do my first UFO hard 1cc attempt.

And...I feel terrible. I'm seriously wanting to play Dodonpachi. I don't want to search out an emulator and all that crap, but just staring at it makes me want to play...even though looking at them I see nothing but design flaws.
-
You're just not used to shmups that aren't super-graphically polished, Donut. Once you play arcade shmups for a while, you start to see the aesthetics in pixel art. <3
-
So you're saying after a point the problems where your shot obscures the bullets in Dodonpachi and the fact that every bullet in Mushihimesama is the same color will just go away? :V
I'd rather play a shmup that is beautiful, atmospheric yet still difficult instead of one that is out to get you, is unforgiving, and...I just read an old FAQ on GameFAQs, and it said that to fight TLB Hibachi you can't die more than two times, as well as some other asinine conditions. All that for a boss that will likely thrash you all the way back to square one before you get far at all.
...Then why do I get the urge to play it? :| I feel like I need to play it, just once, to get this out of my system.
But bleh, I'm not into pirating games (although there probably is little other option even if you did live in Japan), and don't want to search out an emulator. And we all know what'd happen if I asked someone here. :V
-
So, two things.
One: UFO Easy mode 1cc'd with all shot types (All of them after the first being pretty much effortless)
Two: Not sure if this really counts seeing as I've captured all UFO Easy cards at least once before, but I captured every one of Byakuren's easy mode cards IN THE SAME RUN!!! ...Almost makes me wonder if I should try for a PERFECT clear of Easy mode... Actually, I think I'll go ahead and aim for that next. Let's see how I do...
-
DDP is a really awesome game, go play it. That is all.
(And I've never had an issue with 'bullets being obscured by my shot' btw. Please tell me you didn't get that idea from some blurry-ass youtube video :V)

It was the blurry-ass Nicovideo video that made me think that actually. Except that it was actually pretty good quality.
Meh...I might look for it...but I don't even know WHAT to look for. The only emulator I've ever played is Anex86 (TI-98 Next does NOT count).
-
FINALLY BEAT KANAKO
FUCK
YES
ABOUT
TIME
And then the ending is all "lol n00b on easymode using continues"
WHATEVER ZUN
Now what should I try next? EoSD Normal or SA Easy?
-

I've never an issue with that in DDP, and Mushihimesama is beautiful, thanks. Honestly, it's hard to pass judgment on a game just from whatever videos you watch of it. You gotta get out there and play them!
As for being 'unforgiving and out to get you', that's the point of Mushihimesama ULTRA mode. Don't play that if you don't want to be kicked in the teeth with difficulty. Maniac mode is where the fun is at, and Original is forgiving if you can work with the bullet speed. Maniac mode's bullets are slower than Original, but there are many, many more of them.
I think if you really want to get into a CAVE game, check out ESPGaluda. It's easy as far as CAVE shmups go, and it's colorful, atmospheric, and rewarding when you do well.
Also, yeah. No normal person will ever get to TLB-Hibachi. It takes months, sometimes years of solid practice to do stuff like that, and even that that's if you're really good.
I can only get to stage 1-5 in DoDonPachi myself, but that doesn't mean it's not a blast to play.
@triangles: SA Easy is easier than EoSD Normal. :)
-
@triangles: SA Easy is easier than EoSD Normal. :)
I second this. I 1cc'd SA Easy with 6 lives left.
-
Seriously? Years of practice just to reach the TLB? That's another thing I don't like. I'm all for a game that will challenge you to get good enough to 1cc it, but keeping stuff away from you until you scrape and tear your way to it just to say "fuck you" and make it even harder? Brilliant coin sucking strategy (though anyone that hardcore will have bought an arcade cabinet. :V), but poor design. In case you haven't noticed, I go at a game until it doesn't entertain me anymore, and even a little more beyond that. At the very least I want the game to give me access to everything it has to offer. Still, I wanna try it now.
But that's neither here nor there. There will be plenty of time to judge Dodonpachi's worth in person later. For now, UFO. I finally broke down and tried hard mode.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5003
It was terrible. I bombed both Nazrin's spell cards, completely screwed up on collecting UFOs, missed the stage 4 1up, and it was very cringe-worthy.
...

>_> You people say this is impossible and unforgiving?
-
That's just the DoDonPachi series, which you're already weird in my eyes if you take seriously anyway. The scoring system in the game is the most ridiculous system I've ever seen in a game, and sequel Dai-Ou-Jou is even worse with it. However, the games are a ton of fun to play aside from scoring and getting to the TLB. That's why I strongly recommend ESPGaluda. The scoring system is easy to understand, and it's much more forgiving than other CAVE games at 5 (technically 6) stages long, instead of having a second loop.
-
Normal 1cc with ReimuB fairly easily. Once again, MarisaB sucks.
-
Did a perfect run of EoSD Easy. Timed out Sakuya's last spell, but I didn't die or bomb at any time~
Replay: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5007
-
Hmph. Dodonpachi seems to just be a lot of the same, but different. A bunch of aimed shots that are hell to switch directions on. It has a bit of a charm, but certainly not the type that would inspire me to beat it.
EDIT: Just tried that ESPsomething game. It's...mostly just a bunch of aimed attacks and difficult streaming. I'm starting to see how they pump out so many of these games... >_> No worries about me leaving Touhou for these shooters people. At least I got all that out of my system.
-
After watching the world record replay for MarisaA UFO Extra, I've managed to get the UFO route memorized. Now to actually do a run where I manage to not mess everything up :V
But first, school. Bleh.

>_> You people say this is impossible and unforgiving?
It was impossible and unforgiving when the game hadn't been out for a week yet. ;_;
Time to attempt Zengar's request. :V

Wait you're actually doing it.
WHAT

I hope you have a spare keyboard :V

I managed to get it down to 33 seconds remaining just now (timer starts at 90). To be honest being faster doesn't make this card that much more difficult; I mean it's harder obviously, but by less than you'd think. :V Plus the missiles can take out half of the familiars, so there's that. I think I might be able to actually do this.
EDIT: Got it to 18 seconds remaining.
EDIT2: 11 seconds...
EDIT3: 2 SECONDS ADSJHFKSDHJ

Captured Devil's Recitation and that curvy laser card on Hard.
But I still can't beat her, even with continuespam :V

Here you go, Zengar. A no focus Hourai Jewel timeout with Marisa solo (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5009).

...........UFO Hard clear. 30cc or something.
Entered the Byakuren fight with 3 lives and 7 bombs, bombed everything except for her opener, entered LFO with 1 bomb and 1 life....and bombed at 1/2 through.
I've somehow dodged it all(hell, I've closed my eyes at some moments.....it was way too damn close. seriously.) and finally cleared it. Now I can freely fuck around in practice mode.
Oh, and I've TIMED OUT Byakuren's 4th nonspell on Hard instead of bombing it.
It's like freaking Genetics all over.
-
I finally managed to continuespam my way to Stage 5 on UFO Easy. \o/
... oh shush. :P
(Also, apparently Murasa's survival card doesn't exist on Easy? Which is weird 'cause I could swear I've game overed on it before.)
-
160m score in EoSD extra(ReimuB) and went to finish Phantasm cards......captured Danmaku Bounded Field and almost BoLaD without safespot, which is the only card which I didn't capture......and Ran's frogger. I've captured Yukari's, but not Ran's. Weird.
Also increased my Phantasm highscore to 624m :V
-
I'm getting really close to finishing UFO extra ;D
BTW, did anyone else notice that Undefined Darkness speeds up as the timer goes down?
Or maybe that's just my imagination..

I find Shikigami "Chen" to be harder as well. Ran's version is only vaguely aimed at you every few dashes, and forces vertical movement. Yukari's version is aimed straight at you, doesn't need vertical movement, and is entirely predictable.

-
Not sure if I should post this here or in the RAGE thread, but here goes.
UFO Normal 1cc with Reimu A. Unfortunately, I ran out of time and had to save the replay after beating Byakuren, but before seeing the ending, so the game doesn't recognize it as a clear and Extra is still locked. I had an exam about 3 minutes later.
It was awesome. I started to shake against midboss Nazrin. Stage 1 midboss Nazrin. Yeah.
I also missed a shitload of UFO stuff, like at least 1 life part, 1 bomb part, and 1 full bomb. I also tried collecting them by bombing, but it doesn't attract them to you. Then I did it again because I'm an idiot.
Captured Ichirin's last spell because those school computers are super awesome and don't lag on it.
Captured both of "flying blue light midboss"' attacks.
PERFECT MURASA BATTLE.
First life lost at midboss Nazrin's spellcard. Stupid animated bullets and their hitboxes equal to their sprite (I think, their sprites seem to move around so no idea where their hitbox could be). That's quite different from Murasa's bullets, where you can fit at least half your hitbox in them without dying.
Stage 6 was a race against the clock to end the game as fast as possible, so I bombed all the time, especially against her penultimate spell, where she moves around so much it's hard to do any damage.
Then I captured Flying Object because it's even easier than MoF Normal.
-
Yeah beat Yukari for the first time.
All I can say is what a fucking pushover. I heard all this stuff about just how fucking hard she is and end up beating her in a few tries.
-

It's pretty much Ran with a few improvements(and some downgrades).
I love how everything makes her sound as the OMG HARDEST BOSS EVER, especially Border of Life and Death(seriously, every wiki has a screenshot of that).....it shoots in a GODDAMN STRAIGHT LINE.

@triangles: SA Easy is easier than EoSD Normal. :)
Well, I've been playing it for about 3 days now and the only thing stopping me from getting past stage 5 on 1 credit on normal is the fact that I seem to get bomb imput delay. Is it because I'm playing on a crappy computer with a crappy keyboard?
Also Donut, you never judge a game that you haven't played- the bullets in Dodonpachi are actually pretty easy to see- it contrasts your shot.
-

She shoots in a straight line that has a blind spot in one specific spot. If you man up and stop using the loophole, you'll see it really IS all that. She's still the hardest extra boss by far.
Also Donut, you never judge a game that you haven't played- the bullets in Dodonpachi are actually pretty easy to see- it contrasts your shot.
I concede, it was the videos. Now the REAL problem is how unimaginative and samey everything is. :V
I've watched videos of Dodonpachi thinking "this doesn't look that hard," but as I now know, it was because I was looking at it from a Touhou player's perspective. If you took the patterns in Dodonpachi and emulated them with a Touhou game's engine, yeah they wouldn't be all that bad. It's the fact that there's a lot less precision possible and no death bombs that makes the game so difficult. I imagine if you took, say, Mokou's non-spells and put them in a Dodonpachi game, they'd be extremely difficult.
-
Well, went after UFO Hard Clear (continues) with SanaeB again. Did incredibly bad on Kogasa and had to continue on Stage 4 because of it, then did Stage 4+5 off the continue.
Then follows lots of continue spamming on Byakuren since I constantly clipdeathed the Ying-Ying Orb spamming at the beginning, and her second nonspell and spellcard, for nearly an hour.
First time I manage to get to St.Nikou's Air Scroll, I pass it and end up at LFS LFO with 1 life left, and nearly cap it (lose my life as Byakuren is exploding). Clear... yay...
I hate UFO Hard. Hatehatehatehatehatehate. But I love UFO so much (and I wanted it for Practice Mode) that I did it anyway. ;-;
-
Nah, Yukari isn't all that bad. Nue is worse :V
I don't safespot BoLaD, just pointing out that every wave has a blind spot(many of them, actually) where you can completely dodge it.
In other words, it isn't a mindless clusterfuck like Yorimasa Genzanmi or QED.
-
I beat Nue the very first time I ever learned how to do Red UFOs. :| I can perfect her until Undefined Darkness. Yukari may be light on difficulty in a few spots but overall she's much more difficult than anything Nue has to offer.
-
What I find hard about Nue is the fact that you clip something once and your ability to destroy UFOs goes down.
Same for the redirection spells - 1 death on Undefined Darkness and you automatically redirect it to the bottom. Sucks.
-
I beat Yukari on my third time reaching her, and the first time I got past her 4th card. She really is quite easy for an Extra boss, I think. :V I remember going into that battle thinking 'AAHH everyone says Yukari is the hardest Extra boss I am going to get raped so hard' and then about ten minutes later '...that's it?'. Her non-spells are all either light dodging or streaming and her spell cards mostly use some kind of trick, and once you have that trick down they become trivial. Hell, Danmaku Bounded Field might as well not exist for all the challenge it poses someone who knows what's going on. Sure, she has BoLaD, but that's just one card, and it doesn't get really difficult until the last 20 seconds or so.
Admittedly Nue's battle isn't that difficult either, but due to the actual game mechanics Nue becomes a lot more difficult to beat than Yukari, I think; UFO is pretty harsh with bombs and getting power back, whereas with PCB you'll be getting between 2 and 4 bombs per life, you'll probably have more lives than you would in UFO Extra, and you get borders on top of that.
Neither of them are as close to as hard as Koishi, though.
-
Hitbox...? Is it like 1 pixel wide or something?
(http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee32/firestormiv/hitbox.jpg)
-
Koishi's last 2 spells are pretty tame IMO(read: no rapidfire walls, pure memorization)....if you know how to handle them.
Still, I probably have the most resets on SA, followed by EoSD.
-
Yeah beat Yukari for the first time.

Yea, what I hate about the community in Shmups forums is that they don't understand the gameplay between Cave shooters and Touhou are that they have completely different gameplay. In Cave games you have to be very good at misdirecting streaming, while Touhou throws all kinds of crazy patterns at you.
-
Hitbox...? Is it like 1 pixel wide or something?
The hitbox image is bigger then your actual hitbox. Same goes for the bullets (All hitboxes seem to be round, which contributes to that).
Also, your using Reimu. Generally Reimu's smaller hitbox amounts to about zilch difference in gameplay, but that dodge looks pretty close.

Yeah, but the edge of my hitbox is touching the center of the bullets...
Does that mean the hitbox of those bullets is actually round, even though they look like diamonds? I was moving to the right when I did that (very) lucky dodge, so that would make sense.
-
Capped Dipper Creeping Close... yaaaay! I wasn't even meaning to capture it, and it was full of luckgarbage dodges, but wooo~
I then went and capped Sinker Ghost for the first time. All UFO Normal spellcards capped with ReimuB now. After Hard Mode, everything on Normal seems so pathetic :-\
(Fun fact:I accidentally put this in RAGE thread first before realizing my mistake and deleting it)
-
(loleasy yukari arguments)
Yukari is easy because a lot of what you learned fighting Ran carries over. (I cleared Phantasm on my first run, after needing dozens of tries to beat Extra - sure, it was horrible, lolSakuyaBombspam, three bombs against Butterfly in the Zen Temple, etc, I also almost got hit in the face by Zenki and Goki because I tried to do it like Blue Oni Red Oni and stood an inch away from Ran :V but my point is that Yukari feels easy because people often arrive at her pretty very well-prepared by having grinded Ran before)
Also, getting to Danmaku Bounded Field without having seen it/trained it in IN's spell practice IS scary.
-
Yeaaah screw you Murasa. All spell cards captured in UFO Normal up to Stage 4. Now it's just Shou... More specifically, green spinny lasers.... Blarg.
-
Yeaaah screw you Murasa. All spell cards captured in UFO Normal up to Stage 4. Now it's just Shou... More specifically, green spinny lasers.... Blarg.
All I have to say is good luck. That's a nasty card even on Easy, but with the second laser on Normal...
-
...Vajra on easy only has one laser? That's...kinda sad. Also once you play lunatic and come back to normal you realize that the card is really easy.
-
I always thought Vajira was easy. I captured it my second try, and from then on, every single time I went against it. It becomes a lot easier once you realize the laser always moves the exact same way. :V
-
Yes! Today was the best day ever:
Really good Magic Team Extra Clear of IN. 3 lives and 2 bombs left, including a capture of Hourai Doll.
Then,
Really good MarisaB Normal 1cc of PCB. 3 lives and 2 bombs left, including a capture of Resurrection Butterfly.
To top it all of,
Really good MarisaB Hard 1cc of EoSD. 3 lives and 2 bombs left, including a capture of Scarlet Gensokyo.
-
Vajra is much easier on hard IMO. On normal it seems like the bullets Shou fires are just random, but on hard they follow a pattern.
-
Finally, UFO Normal 1cc with all characters. Never has that credits music been so fulfilling.
-
Captured 6-5 in StB FINALLY. Now I have level 10 unlocked. :3
-
Just tried LLS Lunatic for the first time, game over'd at Stage 5 Yuka. Not bad for a first attempt... I'd estimate around half of the deaths/bombs were due to me panicking/not knowing what was going on (I haven't played LLS for something like four or five months and I'd completely forgotten almost everything). My basic impressions were that at least 80% of the stages were either that annoying triple-bullet streaming or weirdass omnidirectional streaming, and that Reimu is an evil rape machine of a Stage 4 boss. She was much harder than Stage 5 Yuka, IMO. :V A 1cc hopefully won't take too many attempts.

I've timed out Cat Walk Hard while I was going for a capture :V
-
Reimu is an evil rape machine of a Stage 4 boss
THIS
And to think that less than two weeks ago I was complaining about IN Reimu who is a complete pushover (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5025) when you think about it.
-
Just tried LLS Lunatic for the first time,
...
... My basic impressions were that at least 80% of the stages were either that annoying triple-bullet streaming or weirdass omnidirectional streaming, and that Reimu is an evil rape machine of a Stage 4 boss. She was much harder than Stage 5 Yuka, IMO. :V A 1cc hopefully won't take too many attempts.
Thats why I switched over to ReimuB for Lunatic. Lunatic Marisa isn't that hard. And for the stages, other then the end of stage 2 and that evil upside down part of Stage 4+Stage4 Midbosses, the stages are aren't that bad. Easiest Lunatic IMO, and fun.
-
*shudder* (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eSzOL0qhXM#t=3m45s). I want revenge. NOW.
/me goes to play LLS
-
Just beat StB 10-3 and am now getting murdered by phase 5 of 10-4.
Also, I just realised that the reason I don't remember fighting Marisa in LLS is that I don't think I've ever played Reimu in that game. At all. :V Is she really all that much easier to deal with?
-
Is she really all that much easier to deal with?
Compare:
- The previous video (which was a very bad run at the time); on a good run my results were usually 1 death 2-3 bombs
- [Max Rank] Marisa (fires extra waves and whatnot); Perfect / 1-2 bombs
This isn't exaggerated in any way.
-
Finally beat SA Easy (with ReimuB randomly...). I credit having a near-perfect run until midboss Orin - no deaths and only one bomb, on one of Yuugi's noncards. Of course, I went waaaaaaaaay downhill in stage 5, but had enough going in to actually reach stage 6, continued a couple times in there while still kind of getting the hang of Okuu.
(Forgot to save a replay of that first credit like I meant to though... also I need to figure out how the fucking hell to do Rekindling of Dead Ashes.)
-
No, the difference between Reimu and Marisa is that huge Sapz. I originally chose to beat LLS lunatic for the first time with reimu because Reimu was THAT hard.
Also don't use Marisa A for your clear. Not because she sucks, but because she's TOO good. As in she's probably the most broken shot type in the series that doesn't use a glitch, entirely because she deals 3 times as much damage as another shot type. She can end Yuka's first phase (her hardest BTW) in one cycle, while it takes Reimu A 3 cycles with constant bomb spam.
-
I got to stage 4 on SoEW Lunatic. Gonna work on a 1CC, any tips? :P
-
Wow, guess people are finally realizing SoEW lunatic isn't all that. :P Still, I kinda liked being like the second person outside Japan to do it and all...>_>
Stage 4 is pretty simple, but the midboss can really cheap you out with her laser attack. Just remember the rules of lasers in this game: Don't even give them a chance. Unless you are very confident in how they appear, bomb.
For Marisa, similarly don't leave anything up to intuition for her sun attacks.
As for Meme Ma, bomb her reflecting star attack. I've never survived this attack, and according to Baity unless Mima is positioned just right the attack IS impossible. And to keep you from learning this painful fact, the bullets Mima fires in her last phase have hitboxes LARGER than the bullets. If you played right you'll enter this with enough bombs to spam her final phase to death though.
-

Oh hai took this info and went straight to a LLS easy clear. lol
-
I somehow made it so Kogasa's theme looped without me purposefully not advancing the dialogue at all. >_> Parasol Star Memories had the most sadistic boss movements possible and had me nearly time out the attack trying to reach her, ended of course by me getting side-swiped by a freaking boulder (seriously, the attack wouldn't be so awful if this weren't designed to happen).
To save a post in the rage thread, I almost captured Parasol Star Memories in a previous run before this even though Kogasa went right instead of left. It had a sliver of life, but a boulder blocked my shot and she moved and I got cornered and I died. ;_; I HATE THIS SPELL CARD. It's the only reason Kogasa's the hardest stage 2 boss.

Yeah, I bombspammed the stage 3 boss's lasers, since those mess me up even on Normal. :/
Bosses in general seem to become trivial with the doubletapping though.

(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o142/Sapzdude/LLSLunatic.jpg?t=1254062393)
LLS Lunatic 1cc'd, used ReimuA, finished 1/1. That's got to be either the easiest or second easiest (just slightly harder than SoEW) Lunatic in the series; that only took me about 6-8 attempts including my tries with Marisa and Stage 2/3 restarts due to stupid deaths. Also, I'd heard about Yuka's last phase being ridiculous but I wasn't expecting a wall with no gaps whatsoever. :V Anywho, that makes six Lunatics down and three to go.
EDIT: Huh... I just realised I never got double sparked on Stage 6. That's weird.
-
QED Capture. Took me 5 serious attempts. The only other times i faced the card was ages ago when i did the stage with ReimuB. Of course, back then i didn't stand much of a chance.
-
'grats Sapz. Yuka's final phase is ridiculous, but it's made at least somewhat manageable by the fact that it's static. Still requires you to perfectly position you for gaps a decent distance from each other in less than a second. Also, everything Yuka uses after her second phase until she goes umbrella modo is completely random, so it is possible to never get double spark'd.
So what's left? MS, UFO, and...?
I know! DO PoDD! XD I swear if someone doesn't 1cc that game's lunatic I'll feel too close to thinking I've done something really rare and exceptional.
-

There is probably a pretty good reason for that.

SA is the third one. I think I could manage MS and SA with a bit of practice but I don't really feel ready for UFO yet. As for PoDD... well, I'll give it a go, but no promises. :P I've yet to beat it on Normal, remember.
Hum.
/me opens PoDD and starts cackling madly

LOL finally beat someone in Hard PoFV Match Mode.
Used Marisa, against Reimu.
Too bad the z button on my keyboard is practically broken now.

What's that you say? I didn't screw up this time? Huzzah!
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5046
First 1cc of a Touhou game on any difficulty. Yay! ^_^
A pretty good run until Sakuya, where I freaked out a little and bombed. The Remilia fight was just horrible though. I bombed Scarlet Shoot at the last second, but it didn't really matter. When I got to Red Magic, I got very, very complacent because I had so many lives so I don't think I tried my hardest there to not just die. Oh well. I 1cced something haha! Suck it EoSD.
-
Grats Mystlord. Enjoy the satisfaction of your accomplishment and strive to accomplish more.
And i just captured QED again. That makes my capture rate 2/6 with all the other attempts being very close. Guess it isn't that hard as people makes it sound.
Really nice challenge. Very intense.
-
Finally a decent run of Satori on Hard.
Captured Terrifying Hypnotism, bombed Death Butterfly only once, captured Flying Insect's Nest and BoWaP.
Died once in stage and once thanks to a nonspell clip.

I just did another no deaths run of UFO stage 3. I may have possibly discovered the optimal strategy to the blue spam areas: Move around like crazy destroying as many enemies as possible, and once the screen gets flooded, THEN move to one side and stay there. The reason I'm not posting a replay is because I'm disappointed: I got through this thinking that I had just perfected the stage portion. As I found out I bombed Ichirin's midboss non-spell. ;_; It would have been so much cooler had that bomb not happened...
-
1cc PCB Hard Clear. Less than a month than I discovered Touhou, too. I mean, yes, it's Sakuya A, all of my scores are terrible, and I bombed my way through Yuyuko, but still!
I'm jubilant, but now I have to figure out an excuse to avoid Lunatic... I can't even do half of Hard's spell cards!
I suppose I should consider actually playing another Touhou game now.
-
So anyway, I got an MS Normal 1cc... Barely made it. Is it just me or are Yumeko and Shinki tougher than everything else in the game put together? Because I think I had like, one death that wasn't to them, to Mai's laser while they're both alive, and I was on my last life when I got through...
-
1cc'd UFO with Marisa B. That only leaves Marisa A, who I can't seem to get to stage 6 very easily with.
It's the bomb movement speed.

Yuki solo is by far harder than Yumeko, imo.
Then again, Yumeko's not that hard when you figure her out.
-
Source of Rains lunatic capture :V
-
I should have done this long ago but the sheer boredom of SA Extra prevented me from doing it though. Given how much better i have become i decided to go for it though and as expected, Koishi went down rapidly and none of Sanae's spells posed much of a threat. Really, the only thing that can go wrong for me is misreading her second one which happens incredibly rare.
The score is 500.000.000+ and i captured Subterranean Rose. Then i did another run and captured Genetics of the Subconcious (really not that hard at all. Not considering how much i've heard about it.) and got a score of 600.000.000+
VoWG Lunatic 2 bomb clear, started with 3.5 power.

Almost captured it now, but stupidly clipped something before the walls even started coming.
Of course, I perfect the rest of it.
-
It's been irritating me for a while now that I'd never really understood how this card works; I mean, sure, I'd captured it, but that was basically through what amounted to a loophole. Anywho, I decided to experiment with it for an hour or two and I've finally cracked it, so here's a timeout of Royal Flare (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-02U9X1Wyw). :V
The tenth and final wave is the worst part, it's really confusing; as far as I can see it would be impossible if not for the miniscule opening through bullets that are halfway through spawning. <_< At any rate, this gives me hope for a pacifist run of the stage; to be honest Royal Flare seems like the hardest part of that, except for maybe Q.E.D.'s timeout phase.
-
2-Deaths Stage 5 SA Lunatic. Would have been 1-death but i decided to try for a Catwalk capture. I failed it though.

Finally 1cc'd IN Normal. It was a Youmu solo. So, that leaves HRtP (lolno) SoEW (...Again, lolno) PoFV (I've cleared Extra but not Normal? O_o) SA, and UFO to be 1cc'd on Normal... In case you haven't guessed, I'm not bothering with HRtP or SoEW <.<; Meh, on to PoFV I guess, if I can clear Extra I should be able to clear Normal...

Those fists are small (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5063).

Lotus Land Story normal 1CC. It wasn't very hard - this was the first time I got past stage 3. I think I died more on stage 5 Yuka than I did on stage 6 Yuka.
-
I actually want to play SA this week. Good since its the only game I have much doable things left to work on. I 1cced MarisaA Normal, making my first after ReimuA. Almost -every single death- was for an incredibly stupid reason and with 7~8 power left.
I think MarisaA is underrated(Almost no one seems to ever use her); her shot is strong as ReimuA when unfocused, stronger if shotgunning. When far focused its STILL stronger then ReimuB or Patch Fire, and strong as ReimuC in the same situation. She also is a great spread type while focused.
People also say she has weak bombs; well, other then ReimuA/C, ALL bombs do crap damage, except MarisaB if your right next to the boss. You also should consider that although the bomb is weak and short, it only takes half the power everyone else's bomb does, and you get them back faster (MarisaA gains more power per item). If you use 2 bombs, and use invincibility to place the second right ontop of the boss, it does better damage then Yukari's for the same power loss.
Also, Reimu's smaller hitbox=almost no difference. And how big is the speed difference anyway? (No, seriously, how big is it? ???)
/end rant :V
That was fun.

So I've had a very crummy day today, right? Stress, bad test scores, retarded projects, the works. So I out of curiosity decide to see how well I do in Touhou when I'm stressed. I:
Capture Parasol Star Memories, nearly pull off a perfect of Kogasa, but bomb on Monster Train and "merely" walk away with a no deaths clear of the stage.
Capture King Kraken Strike.
Do a one death run of stage 5.
Meh?

But dear lord, Siki's scenario is harder still.
-

But dear lord, Siki's scenario is harder still.
I find the fact that I don't have to fight Shikieiki at the end makes it easier then Komachi's Extra. And the fact that I beat Shiki's extra on the first try and never went back
Reimu can still be really hard as the final boss, though. At least she isn't hard in the "ohmygodhitboxes" way. Stupid Shiki bullets.
-
Sikieiki's Extra is the single best thing about PoFV.
The difficulty of the Reimu fight is more or less dependent on how many times you see the Red Rings of Death or Lv. 2 spam.
-
Get to work :V (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5073)
-
Fighting Syou again (I still have no idea how her red lasers in her opener are aimed BTW, and they're the most dangerous part of the attack), I get walled against Aura of Justice with no bombs (god damn her second non-spell), it's closing in, and just for kicks, I see if I can fit through the 100% thick wall.
I did. o_O I ended up timing the card out, but I wasn't expecting that to be possible.
BTW, I think I'm starting to get the hang of Radiant Treasure Gun. It's less scary when you realize the curving laser cannot hit you at the bottom of the screen.
-
Are 49 tries too much for a lunatic Life Spring Infinity capture?
What about 127 for Hourai Jewel?
WHO CARES? :V
On a side note, now that I know how to switch directions properly on it (took me about 110 tries to figure it out), I'm pretty sure that Hourai Jewel is actually a lot easier than Life Spring Infinity which still feels like luck-based bullshit to me and will remain tagged with "autobomb".
-
...Life Spring Infinity which still feels like luck-based bullshit to me and will remain tagged with "autobomb".
-Move between the lasers
-Read the stars and get through them
-Get underneath Kaguya before she sends the halo shot out (avoid the lasers as you do this, but don't worry too much as their spawning speed is slower than the animation makes you think)
-Repeat
I still have no idea how this 'LSI is luckgarbage' myth ever got started. It's her second easiest boss card and I've had like a 95% capture rate on it ever since I learned how to do it. I mean, getting through the stars can be tricky at first, but it's nothing that 15-20 minutes of spell practice can't do. :V

That's still three different things to read (Kaguya's position, laser grid, and upwards-moving double-crisscrossing outwards-expanding circular ring of stars), and each of them is changing positions in relation to each other every wave, because the stars are two "cycles" behind Kaguya, and the lasers are one.

Well, then maybe I just suck at reading it because I just spent these 15-20 minutes and only captured the damn thing out of luck - I'm pretty sure I went through some stars, as in, through the exact middle of their hitboxes - without getting any insight beyond "read, move, pray".
Then again, two weeks ago I hadn't 1cc'ed IN's hard, and last time I checked you were trying fancy stuff like no-bombs lunatic EoSD. :V

It's just a matter of knowing what's dangerous and what's not, and when. If you try to focus on all of those at once, the information overload will probably get you killed, so you have to focus on one at a time. Remember that even though the lasers and stars appear at the same time, the lasers don't actually become lethal until after the stars have passed, so focus on the stars. After that, the rest is just quickly ducking into a safespot.

But I was capturing LSI long before I was capable of no-bombing anything. :V And yeah the 15-20 minute comment was me being my over-exaggerating self, so sorry bout that. The stars, like I said, can be tricky, but they never actually wall you. With a bit more practice you should get a good feel for how the pattern unfolds.

Sooooo...You know how you all say UFO lunatic is utter bullshit? Completely impossible?
Well...on a whim, I decided to try my first UFO lunatic 1cc attempt. I knew I wouldn't make it because the very idea of it is lol, and as I thought it took 6 tries to get out of stage 1.
But then...you know, the practice. I've played almost every stage in this game over 50 times, and it kind of substituted all the lunatic grinding I was supposed to be doing.
So when I reached Murasa with max lives...
And Syou with 5...
And Byakuren with 4...
Well...

-
First try; but that's because you had plenty more advice / practice than me. Reaching Murasa with max lives just set you up for it, really.
Now get working on those Perfect Stages.

Frankly, I hardly feel I deserve this 1cc, even if it was merely the result of hours of stage practice rather than full run grinding.

Well, considering the sheer amount of frustration (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=272&u=12803292) I went through... >_>

Done. Did an evaluation overall as you already know :V

UFO Lunatic 1cc on my first attempt
jhasdkhkadhaagjdadjhafjafdgkl;jhc ;_;
Congrats, man. That's insane.
-
Not all that surprising. I think the difficulty of UFO is overrated. Its the nature of the spellcards that make the game appear harder than it is. A lot of things can be solved through bombing after all.
No, the real deal is perfecting stages in it.
Seriously, the game gives you lives like nothing else. On my Hard 1CC, i died twice to Ichirin, died once to Murasa and once to Shou but still managed to reach Byakuren with 6 lives.
-
In that case, stop bitching about it people, it's really not as hard as you all make it out to be. Personally I think SA lunatic is harder.

The only thing i'm bitching about is the spellcards. Its the easiest Hard clear i've done but the most frustration i've had from spell capturing and i haven't even got started on Stage 4 Lunatic yet mainly because of a lurking feeling of dread for the spellcards. Capturing cards are much more fun in earlier games. At least those didn't spam super-bright animated bullets and curving lasers.
-
Double posting in order to be epic.
I just started grinding UFO Stage 4 Lunatic. To be fair, the stage is much better than Stage 3. A billion times better music and much more doable danmaku. The boss is hard but seemingly managable for the most part so all in all, a better stage than number 3. That's a new one.
So i captured Murasa's first spellcard which is lol-easy as well as her time-out card in just 3 tries. The only part about it is the final seconds. Kind of like QED.
I'm off to spam the spellcard help topic!
-
Sooooo...You know how you all say UFO lunatic is utter bullshit? Completely impossible?
Not impossible, but still hard as shit. Even when I do 1cc it (I'm going to say "when" and not "if" there as a form of self-motivation), I'm still going to think it's the hardest game, and will likely maintain the belief that it requires above and beyond the par level of skill required in previous games. You can say all you want how the game gives you fucktons of lives, but that's fucktons of lives -if you can chain the UFOs- (remind me to watch some replays to learn how to do this better). Every other game gives you reasonable amounts of lives, and you don't have to do much more than dash to the PoC once in a while (or, in SA, don't have to do much more than "don't die").
In any case, I'm falling horribly out of practice in Touhou, between starting school/flu/strep throat/forcing myself out of my room to interact with my apartmentmates/top secret work. It's not impossible, and I want to get it done, but it'll be a while until I can actually put in the proper time to get this shit down.
-
There is a lot of questions about UFO to which No is the answer.
Is it impossible?, Are the spellcards fun? and "Are the stages well designed?" for example.
1CC'ing might not be the biggest trouble but its most likely going to be through bomb-spamming impossible sections and doing the managable sections without fail. The margin for error is small while at all other difficulties, enormous.
-
The stages are just fine, god! If you can accept stage 4 midboss Orin and the later half of PCB stage 3 and the books of EoSD, why can't you accept anything else? I personally like this game MUCH more than SA. :(
EDIT: Also, if you're worried about chaining UFOs, watch my replay. I developed a bit of a strategy from stage practices, but all that chaining I did was all impromptu without any deeper thought, and I still got about 11 lives or so (I honestly don't know how many I got). And this was with Reimu A, the one that moves slowly while bombing and is handicapped collecting UFOs.
EDIT 2: As for the BS spell cards, Baity said it last night best: UFO places a much larger emphasis on patterns and micromemorization than previous games. Many many attacks appear to be impossible, but if you play them enough you'll realize that they're not as random as you thought they were.
Also, I realize reluctantly that there is nothing left. TIME TO QUIT I wonder what I should do next? That isn't perfecting EoSD extra?
-
Just tried MS Lunatic for the first time. Wasted nine bombs due to dying with them in stock and still got to Shinki's cheeto lasers before getting a game over. This shouldn't take that long to 1cc.
@Donut: Much as I'd like to say that EoSD Extra is the only available option, you could always try learning to play for score. I know how reluctant you are to try that; I was at first, too, but Matsuri's managed to convince me the other way, and it's actually really fun, PCB in particular. You might as well give it a go. :V
-
Do it :V
-
I took a little break from UFO and decided to finally unlock Stage 4 Practice for MarisaC (Nitori), I think I know how to do Trauma now. Now it's just Great Whirlwind for ReimuC I need to figure out.
I went all the way to Stage 6 and got the bad ending. Man, that bomb is so freaking ass to use on Nuclear Fusion. But after that, it proved very useful in Meltdown and Last Card. Bad Shot type/Bomb is still bad etc.

EDIT: Also, if you're worried about chaining UFOs, watch my replay. I developed a bit of a strategy from stage practices, but all that chaining I did was all impromptu without any deeper thought, and I still got about 11 lives or so (I honestly don't know how many I got). And this was with Reimu A, the one that moves slowly while bombing and is handicapped collecting UFOs.
EDIT 2: As for the BS spell cards, Baity said it last night best: UFO places a much larger emphasis on patterns and micromemorization than previous games. Many many attacks appear to be impossible, but if you play them enough you'll realize that they're not as random as you thought they were.
Also, I realize reluctantly that there is nothing left. TIME TO QUIT I wonder what I should do next? That isn't perfecting EoSD extra?
Patterns that require micromemorization = bad.
Stage 4 midboss Orin is easy (except for when the spirits blow up) and the game allows bombspam because of the power system. I have done PCB Stage 3 no-focus no-deaths no-bombs. And the books of EoSD seems to be managable with a bomb as the only problem.
-
so, uh
Donut wins, i guess.

Get the "All Clear" stamp for all difficulties and shot types in PoFV, MoF, SA, and UFO. Its good practice, and the suckier shot types make it a new challenge. Then again, doing it with the really sucky shot types is just masochistic.
IaMP normal 1cc all characters
IN lunatic 1cc, extra clear all shot types no deaths, all spell cards captured
PoFV lunatic 1cc, Aya, extra clear
MoF lunatic 1cc, extra clear no deaths, all spell cards captured
Using Aya/Medicine and saying you 1cced PoFV Lunatic is cheating cheap! :'(
Which is why I've been doing Hard on the other characters and practicing for Lunatic, which seems doable now. Which brings me to an actual accomplishment in this post of trolling suggestions; 1cced PoFV Hard with Reimu and Shikieiki. With Reimu the first 8 stages took half as long, but fighting Shikieiki... AUGHHITBOXES. At least fighting Aya is just constant streaming with unfocused jumps now and then.
-
Captured Sinkable Vortex. Now the only thing remaining is the horrible "Eternally Anchored Ghost Ship" card. I don't want to attempt it any further today though. I want to have some fun now.
-
Frankly, I just don't care about PoFV. Aya may be cheap, but she's not cheating and for that game that's good enough for me. 'sides, I still beat extra.
And no thanks for all shot types. =_= My experiences capturing all of Satori's cards was quite enough thanks.
And god I would be so terrible if I actually tried to play for score. For kicks I occasionally try to grazewhore and just end up dying. I find that when I try to hit bullets to suicide, I miss them, and when I just try to graze them, I die miserably. >_>
Hmm, maybe I'll try clearing SA extra with all characters to see their dialogue...that sounds like it'd be a good waste of time. Or maybe I could actually pay attention to the workload from school in danger of overflowing...nah...
-

That still happens to me all the time. <_< I'm slowly getting better at it, though; all it requires is some practice, just like playing for survival.

Zengeku: If Hourai Jewel is not your least favourite card ever, you lie about disliking micromemorization.
Is it impossible?, Are the spellcards fun? and "Are the stages well designed?" for example.
Actually, the proper answer for those is "your opinion here". Good job getting the answer to that wrong.
-
Okay, i decided to gun for it anyways. Eternally Anchored Ghost Ship Capture. I knew my soul wouldn't find peace before it was done so i went for it and 10 ardous attempts later i got it. Overall it took about 20 attempts for me. 20 eternally frustrating attempts.
That concludes Stage 4 Lunatic capturing. I'll get on with Stage 5 as soon as i have recovered from the experience with Eternally Frustrating.
Zengeku: If Hourai Jewel is not your least favourite card ever, you lie about disliking micromemorization. Actually, the proper answer for those is "your opinion here". Good job getting the answer to that wrong.
Okay, i'll admit that Stage 4 of UFO actually is quite fun to play. Except for that part after the streaming session post-Nue: I can't comprehend how it should be possible to do that without dying or bombing consistently. In fact, i haven't even been able to do it once.
Still, i'll stick by the statement that a huge chunk of the game's stages are bullshit. There are parts that are pretty much impossible if you don't use the right character or have enough power.
Same thing goes for spellcards. Kogasa's first boss card is almost impossible with certain characters and i suppose it becomes completely impossible if you have 2.00 or something like that.
And yes. Hourai Jewel sucks so hard it would make me wanna kick ZUN's ass up and down the streets of Akihabara. But at least i can do it consistently with three bombs without any micro-shit.
At least that game gave us the curtesy of spell practice. Nice to not have to go through a several minutes long stage for a single attempt at a spell that will kill you immediatly.
Eternally Anchored Ghost Ship is a great example. Half the time, it wasn't misreading the blue bullets that killed me. It was either being hit by the droplets as the anchor hits the bottom of screen or by a retreating anchor. Eternally frustrating! Especially considering how i had to go through the stage all over again in order to get there. And maintain my power through the battle.
I couldn't even try my best at her non-spells or other spells because of not being able to take the risk because of how the power system works. That's actually one thing i think Ikaruga did right. Just give me that max power and never let me lose it.

EDIT 2: As for the BS spell cards, Baity said it last night best: UFO places a much larger emphasis on patterns and micromemorization than previous games. Many many attacks appear to be impossible, but if you play them enough you'll realize that they're not as random as you thought they were.
PATTERNS
Micromemorization is really only for the Stages (like all the other games really) and a select handful of Spell Cards / Attack Patterns for each stage, with Stage 6 having more than the "norm".
Fun fact: I only counted ~8 attacks to be 100% micromem-based (i.e. static+aimed).
The rest is pattern "read 'n' dodge", or a nice combination between memorizing what happens next and read 'n' dodge.
The major Power loss encourages more bombing; isn't that a good thing? Learn to bomb, learn to not rely solely on a "monstrous" number of lives to pull you through, etc. What does this sum up to? Avoid dying.
Patterns that require micromemorization = bad.
Key word. You don't need it for most of the attacks.
And I'll stop there.
tl;dr:
:suwakodwi:
Really.
Still, i'll stick by the statement that a huge chunk of the game's stages are bullshit. There are parts that are pretty much impossible if you don't use the right character or have enough power.
Those spots that are "described" as being impossible in the stages are more or less a UFO chaining gold mine (end of S4, 5). I personally love that because it encourages "smart play" / scoring. Though you could be just as entertaining and (attempt to) perfect your way through it (and I've done gone through both several times without making a mistake).
-
Zengeku. I didn't want your opinion. I said that IT'S A PERSON'S OPINION ON IF THE GAME IS FUN OR NOT.
Oh, and I got to the second part of Samidare Extra Stage, and then died because I forgot what to do there.
-
Another LP, this one of EoSD Normal, up on my youtube (http://www.youtube.com/user/iamtheshim) page. Still processing, run sucks, etc.
-
I... I just 1cc'd LLS Hard!!!! ...And yet I can't do UFO or SA Normal... Hm... <.<;
-
Not to rain on your parade or anything, but LLS hard is about as difficult as any other normal.
Good job! It was my first hard 1cc as well. :D
-
So I was feeling a change of pace tonight: that means it's STB time. D: inner masochist go!
Three scenes completed: 3-7, 5-8, 9-8. 44 scenes cleared, and the next could be either 5-4 (which had eluded me for forever) or 9-2(certainly possible), and i figured a trick to 8-5, but that's gonna come far far later :D
-
IN lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5084), getting to midboss Eirin with six spare lives meant I could royally screw up Galaxy in a Pot which is the easiest stage 6 card ever and not even care. :V
-
There, finally 1cc'd HRtP lunatic Makai route again. I have Elis to thank for that. She teleported to a spot on the screen that coincided with the ball hitting her over and over again in a way that can only be described as "NICE COMBINATION!" Sariel isn't that hard, except for that one attack that is impossible. :|
-
When did an encouragement of bombing become a good thing? And why are certain parts of the game impossible if you don't bomb or get a UFO with the right timing?
Why is the stage 2 boss harder than Kanako?
-
When did an encouragement of bombing become a good thing?
Highly Responsive to Prayers. :P
-

Encouragement of bombing is a good thing because people weren't bombing in the first place. Why else has our advice always been
bomb more.
All parts of the game are possible without bombing or using a UFO.
Why is the stage 2 boss harder than Kanako?
Well, with ReimuB / MarisaB / SanaeA(?) maybe. All else, no.

YESSSSS
I finally beat SA Normal! The first 5 stages went by very smoothly and I had ~7 lives by the time I made it to stage 6. I'll admit though, I did really badly on Okuu; I had lost all but one of those lives when I made it to her last card. It was a really close call, too. I death bombed just as Okuu was blowing up, leaving me with absolutely no power.
Thanks to the people that gave me advice in the RAGE thread. Without you guys, I probably would have failed this and many other runs in the future.
I need to calm down. My hands are shaking pretty badly right now.
-
Wow Krim has an even lower score than me Don't give up! And remember: If LFO is hard, that's because you need to memorize the route. As long as you don't screw up it's easy.
On a non-Touhou note, I can 3cc Dodonpachi. :|
-
Okay, okay. You win. UFO is not necessarily bad design. Its just a hell of a lot more difficult than Lunatic used to be back in the days and its some difficulty i'm apparently not ready for yet.
So, i'm going to leave it alone. Instead i'll focus on playing Pre-UFO Touhou games and get a Lunatic 1CC for those before working on UFO. I guess i'll give UFO a year or so. I'm not busy and i'd rather wait for my skills to grow than rush it and suffer the frustration that brings.
One step at a time. It did stick around with Normal a hell of a lot time before moving on to Hard after all.
So, now that i've got that out of the way... sorry guys. I was being unreasonable.
Now lets see someone do a no-bombs run! :V
-

'bout time you guys start seeing the light. If anything, UFO is crazy fun in stage practice. I didn't grind everything so hard just for training ya know! The amount of times I've practiced Byakuren are already approaching Kanako, who I've been playing a lot longer against.
And really. I'm not sure if my run was just a fluke or not, but I cannot imagine that UFO is that hard if I manage to beat it my first try with 3 lives remaining, even AFTER flubbing up stage 5 as bad as I did.
-

It's just that sadist Power system... just that. You have to at least have to admit that is a bad design.
And Stage 6 Practice is pretty bad at 2.00 Power, since you have to can't chain mixed at the dodge ball part in the beginning. I blew them away before any bullets get too densed in a 1cc run.
-
Honestly, I'm just happy I got all the good endings for the PC-98 shooters (not Highly Responsive to Prayers, but the other four). Granted they were all on easy (normal for Lotus Land Story), but hey...
Of course, its not like I can beat Extra...darn you Extra.

Were it just so. I think a better power system would have made a world of a difference. Its good if you have fun with it but the game completely destroys my perceptions of practice start.
Usually, its a mode where you get all the lives you'd ever want so you could play freely without having to fear death. But in UFO, you will lose your power if you die so i can't just play carefree and try the best i can at anything. For example, when i grinded for Eternally Anchored thingy i couldn't even attempt her non-spells or her second card because of the risk of dying so i wouldn't have power to tackle the card i was targetting.
That, is pretty poor game design. Maybe its not so much the bosses and the stages. They might just be cool and all (except for Shou, you'll never convince me there ;)) but the power system just kills all the fun.
But i suppose, that aside its a pretty good game.
Oh and Baity:
Encouragement of bombing is a good thing because people weren't bombing in the first place. Why else has our advice always been bomb more.
Well its not that bad during 1CC attempts but the power system just destroys practice. What's the point if you can't risk dying?
All parts of the game are possible without bombing or using a UFO.
So is Scarlet Meister.
Well, with ReimuB / MarisaB / SanaeA(?) maybe. All else, no.
Okay. That's only half of the cast. Maybe she isn't as hard as Kanako even though i have better chances at VoWG than her first spellcard unless i'm using SanaeA and have enough power. Second spellcard is way too hard for stage 2 (Heck, even Fallen Angel Veronica said the card was hit or miss) and the third one... is sort of managable as soon as you know what you are doing. You taught me that! But still... it just doesn't feel like anything that should be in Stage 2.

So I decide to get Dangerous.
And lo, I got dangerous.

Ironically Flandre was my final Extra boss to take down, and she was, IMO, the easiest Extra boss I've faced yet.

Ah, Koishi was my last too. Subterranean Rose is much less easy in person, compared to what it looks like in videos :'(
-
Yeah, it was actually surprisingly difficult although i got it at my first clear of the stage.
-
Koishi WOULD have been my last if I wasn't so determined to get her over with. The order I did them in was Mokou > Ran > Yukari > Nue > Koishi > Suwako > Flandre.
As for Subterranean Rose, er, yeah. It was, uh, very difficult. I'd know, because I beat her and totally didn't opt to time it out, having arrived with 0 lives and no power. >______>

Obviously has nothing to do with the vow you mentioned on the rage thread. ;)
-
Well its not that bad during 1CC attempts but the power system just destroys practice. What's the point if you can't risk dying?
Not really. You can risk dying; because it's Stage Practice. Doesn't matter if you're losing a lot of Power over it either. I've captured various Spell Cards at 1.xx Power before. Besides, isn't Stage Practice supposed to be assisting you until you get good enough to essentially perfect it?

Kogasa: The Power to Surprise Humans
...that's my only explanation for it.
Well, this is harder to perfect than I thought (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5100). First death was absolutely stupid... Also, as a scoring note, you must bomb to destroy that Blue UFO at the end for a lot of Points.
-
Finally captured New Impossible Request「Red Stone of Eija」(Shoot the Bullet 9-4) after 663 shots taken! :x
-
Not sure if this should go in the Embarassing Moments thread or not :V But anyway... Cleared HRtP. Must have been at LEAST a 50cc or so... On Easy mode...
-
PCB Normal 2cc.
Now, this doesn't sound like an achievement, but considering the last time I played PCB, which was about a month or so, I only 2cc'd it on Easy, this becomes much of an accomplishment for me.
-
I was actually worried that I was starting to get bored of Touhou (now that I'm once again at the "nothing left to do" period I'm a little afraid of that), but then I opened up IN and started grinding Fantasy Heaven.
Ah~ If only the rest of the series was still as hard as this~
EDIT: Since people really seem to want me to do odd accomplishments for some reason:
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5109
Buddhist Diamond no vertical. Quite easy.

It did that very well before without stealing my power making some spells much more difficult. Well UFO is most guilty of that. If i want a spell to last longer i can just time it out. Practice purposes is no excuse.
-
Oh yeah...I also finally captured Fantasy Heaven with the border team. Yeah, I've NEVER done that before. I've always used Youmu and her superior speed. I also discovered how to make it so that the wave at 12 seconds is never impossible.
And yesterday I captured Parasol Star Memories after Kogasa moved to the right. :D
-
Don't know if it should go under here or embarrassing, but Hourai Jewel Lunatic captured...
...AFTER THREE HUNDRED AND NINETY ATTEMPTS (thankfully not all at once).
-
I wouldn't call it embarrasing. That spell just sucks. Its one of these cards that just gives me the feeling of having better things to do.
Same thing for Fantasy Heaven. Having tried 50 times without capturing it or at least having figured out how to do it killed my patience.
-
Whoa - Haven't played Touhou in a while, been busy. Got challenged to a race, with me winning being a pacifist run against Nue. I then proceed to Pacifist Nue, dying one retarded death on the first spell card while chatting with my roommate and bombing on the blue UFOs (pretty much have to playing pacifist, as far as I can tell), but otherwise have a completely perfect run until Nue's timeout phase on her final spellcard.
What the hell :V I still can't believe I pulled that off... The rainbow UFOs usually murder me and I got my first capture of the survival card too. Either Nue's a lot easier when I'm actually awake or I somehow got a ton better while I took a break... This was my second clear of extra, and it was a nearly perfect pacifist? What?

Pacifist / No Shooting Nue
Very nice.
I tried it out myself (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5116) (very rough run overall anyway); ended from a clipdeath on "Danmaku Chimera" because my senses were dampened (by hot weather night). Blue UFO is definitely possible to timeout without bombing. But you have to be quite quick and understand how the Blue UFOs shoot lasers. I'll try to time it out again tomorrow morning. It seems quite interesting.
Seriously considering swapping to Reimu to cheat with the smaller hitbox :V

By the way, your IN run on youtube helped me a lot with not worrying about bombing Mystia's first boss card and evil second boss noncard, and also showed me the correct way of doing pre-midboss stage 3 which was confusing me to no end. And now watching it again I also noticed that in my successful run I panicbombed Ill-Starred Dive and failed miserably against midboss Keine pretty much the same way you did. :V

Btw Sakuya's last spellcard (stage 5) is a freaking nightmare/torture/eternal agony

Captured Meiling's attack phase (Shoot the Bullet 5-1) and Youmu's Obsession Sword「Blood of Asura」(6-4)!
Why do I even play Shoot the Bullet anyway >>

After a year and almost two months, I've finally 1cc'ed SA Normal. ;_; I practically cried.
-
Not sure if this counts, but I made it past CAPTAIN MURASA without being completely slaughtered. I also captured a couple of Ichirin's cards that I usually clip, so yeah.
-
I perfected Shou's battle on Normal in an otherwise awful 1cc run.
With Marisa B.
I was really surprised that she wasn't an absolute bitch on Absolute Justice.
Anyhoo, does anyone want the replay?
-
IN lunatic solo Youmu 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5148). The things that cannot be cut are very few, indeed.
Will try again sometime for a better score/capture rate/stages/pretty much everything, but for now I'm satisfied enough with pulling off the 1cc on my first try with Youmu after tearing apart spell practice with her. I was expecting more than the 17 captures I got - as in, "either I capture 20+ not counting last spells or the stages will eat me alive" - but in the end it was just enough.
-
Oh yeah I beat UFO Extra in three tries with ReimuA

I nearly captured LFO lunatic unfocused. I lasted all the way until the red phase.
Really, I'm disappointed. :( LFO was at first extremely difficult, because not knowing the route meant it was up to my reading skills, and in that respect LFO is REALLY hard, definitely the level of stuff like VoWG. However, once you learn it...as long as you don't screw up and have to leave it up to said reading skills, it's easy. And it's not hard to not screw up.

This is more of an accomplishment than a rage, I suppose.

Got a good run on Hard Utsuho.
Almost captured Nuclear Excursion(walled at last moment, never captured it even on Normal in 28 attempts), captured Giga Flare(never capped on Normal either), obviously Planetary Revolution capture, then clipped Tokamak 2 times(last 4 attempts were 3 captures and a timeout....meh) and capped Subterranean Sun, which is too easy for a final spell IMO.

SA stage 5 hard no deaths. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igQtHbd7ASw)
Maybe I can 1cc Hard now :V
-
I've been trying to beat SA Normal with MarisaB for months.
I got the Shikieiki replacement for ReimuA today and played as her, and I BEAT IT IN TWO TRIES. THIS IS AN ABOMINATION. EVERYTHING I HAVE BELIEVED IN UP TO NOW HAS BEEN PROVED WRONG. I HAVE NO MORE REASONS TO LIVE. THANK YOU.
-
U fu fu. :3 Nice job Rurooooooo~
[ruro]Oh shut up, I hate you. ;_;[/ruro]
As for me, I finally perfected Kogasa:
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5205
I bombed once on the stage though, so it wasn't a perfect. :(
-
Subterranean Animism, what the hell.
Lunatic clear after like 30 continues. Most of them on Satori and Orin(the stage was the problem along with midboss)
Okay, Utsuho.....first attempt(after Orin), no power, one life, suicided.
Second attempt, lost life on stage, reached her with 2 lives and full power.
The hardest part of that fight are the nonspells. I don't really see any huge improvements over Hard......
I've definitely expected more from Tokamak.....only clipped it once and fairly late at that, so I've finished it before it even reached me again.
Subterranean Sun finally gains some difficulty, but compared to VoWG.....meh.
Makes no sense that I've restarted Satori and Orin like 30 times total, yet Utsuho goes down in one attempt.....anyways, now I can screw around on Lunatic :V
-
UFO Stage 1 Lunatic Perfect Clear. Nothing special but if you want, you can see it here:

Flandre flandre flandre finally done with flandre.
Not perfect or anything but I still managed to capture some of her cards.
-
Perfect Flandre battle until Maze of Love
I didn't beat her. But I am nearly done.
-
I got the Shikieiki replacement for ReimuA today and played as her
If you don't mind me asking, are you referring to a mod of some kind?
-
PoFV Hard 1CC. I don't like the game but i realised it was necessary in order to have all the windows shooters beaten at Hard difficulty.
Shikieiki kicked my ass to the moon though...
-
I still don't get PoFV at all :V
Finished it on Normal 2cc today, no idea how to do stuff tactically. Just dodged, shot everything up and used spells when I've had them.
-
HAHAHAHAHAHA
FLANDRE BEATEN
HARDEST EXTRA BOSS TAKEN DOWN
ALL THAT'S LEFT IS KOISH...
Fuck.
-
I 1cc'd UFO again, only with 7 spare lives this time around.
Picking up green UFOs really helps.
-
No... No, it can't be... You can't have survived my cheating... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep, finally 1cc'd SoEW. Not planning on ever doing it again.
-
You have to do it two more times for extra. :3
-
And then to permanately shut it up, you must beat hard modo. :P And since it's not much harder, lunatic modo is the only option.
-
HARDEST EXTRA BOSS TAKEN DOWN
You don't know what a hard extra stage boss is until you're up against Ex-Alice's homing lazers (had to be at least 200 tries, only barely beat her when I finally did) or even worse, Evil Eye Sigma. Those damn bouncy balls. Bouncy. Fucking. Balls. And only one bomb per life. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
I beat Flandre far easier than SoEW's bullshitty extra boss, but then some people don't bother playing the PC 98 games. ;_;

Well, yeah. I was just talking about the Windows games. I have played the PC98 games, but not to any great extent. I beat Ex-Alice, but I had like 10-15% slowdown. The emulation runs like garbage, so I'm not really gonna count that as a success.
Besides, Ex-Alice is all fake difficulty anyway. "This is all just simple streaming, but FUCK YOU RAVE FLASH BACKGROUND WOOOOOOOO."
Can't see shit, captain.
-
Face her second purple phase and tell me that again. :(
-
Finally captured Suwa War.
All (Windows) Extra cards captured.
Imperishable Shooting doesn't count, dammit.
-
Besides, Ex-Alice is all fake difficulty anyway. "This is all just simple streaming, but FUCK YOU RAVE FLASH BACKGROUND WOOOOOOOO."
I'd beg to differ with a few of her attacks like her homing spam and her last ZOMGSCREEN IS FLOODED. I never had any problems actually seeing the shots though. What emulator were you using? I found T98-Next to be very accurate in terms of speed, etc.
-
MS extra done. The final attack is a bit too hard IMO :V
EDIT: LLS extra done.
Only had troubles with the spark part since I was a little afraid of the tight dodging and then I couldn't figure out how to dodge the pellets, but defeated her because of the sheer amount of extends you get.
Second time I've reached Gengetu too.....first time died on her first pattern IIRC :V
-
Speed it up to the Blue UFOs (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5238).
Not a timeout, but I'm getting the hang of it. It's a 1 death 1 bomb
timeout.
-

Wish i could play those things properly. Can't make that damn emulator not-suck.
OT: Just put up a video of a no-deaths UFO Stage 2 run on Hard. Just in case anyone is interested.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vt9LLZ5u9HA
-
Beat SoEW normal. Now I never want to see or hear about it ever again.
And with it, I have finally defeated all the games on at least normal modo. \o/ Just don't ask me to beat tHRtP normal, or I will hurt you.
-

Noone will ask you to just beat HRtP on normal - they're going to ask you to beat both the Makai and Jigoku routes on normal. ;3
-
I got all the way to Mokou's Hourai "Fujiyama Volcano" before Game overing in IN Extra.
-

You sure you didn't miss this (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=139.0)? I just found it and holy youkai jesus what a difference, I think I'm going on a PC-98 only month.
-
Face her second purple phase and tell me that again. :(
Okay, okay, I was exaggerating. But I still feel a lot of her stuff is more-or-less streaming made much, much more difficult by rape backgrounds.
I'd beg to differ with a few of her attacks like her homing spam and her last ZOMGSCREEN IS FLOODED. I never had any problems actually seeing the shots though. What emulator were you using? I found T98-Next to be very accurate in terms of speed, etc.
I was using Anex. Maybe I'll look up T98-Next.
Also, I'll be damned if Flandre isn't 100 times easier after you've done her once. I've beaten her with all shot types now, and I just did a no-bombs run which also got me my first capture of QED.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5247
The run is pretty hilarious. I perfect the stage until the VERY end, where I die really stupidly. Then I proceed to fuck up Lavatein and Four of a Kind, which made me feel like quitting, but I pressed on and captured everything else but ATTWN, and I only botched that because I jumped the gun for the initial QED shotgun.
-
um..
well i just 1cced LLS Normal.
lol? i've played that game on Normal probably, like, 5 times. and most times i quit by stage 3.
-
I almost beat Nue and cleared Rainbow UFOs of Terror
-
(http://i34.tinypic.com/199lwz.png)
Sup' Siki-*Beam'd*
Oh well. Unlocked Stage 10 for StB. In the end I still went for the 45 clears :V
-
A nearly perfect run of Stage 4 Hard in SA. Had two misses. One at the butterfly and one at Satori's final non-spell. Pretty bad performance on that last non-spell. Its so easy, yet i fucked it up. Oh well, i guess i'll be able to get a perfect Satori battle soon enough.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwcvOGpt2eQ
I have completely uploaded my UFO lunatic 1cc.
Also, for the purposes of keeping me interested in Touhou, I'm going to try and take a month long break (the longest I've ever gone without playing Touhou BTW) and then come back and try all the lunatics with different shot types.
Day 1...
...
/me starts twitching
-
1cced SA on Normal with MarisaA. It was such a horrible run...
Utusho was - in short - A NIGHTMARE. When I reached Artificial Sun, I had 1 life and a 4/5 because I kept losing lives so I couldn't get any more life pieces.
Funny thing: Artificial Sun is the only card by Utusho I captured.
-
Lots of random assorted SWR Normal clears/1ccs. Hooray for figuring out how to get PS3 controllers working properly on the PC. :V
-
PCB Extra cleared with SakuyaB - my first extra clear. Replay here (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5255). Now to try Phantasm.
-
Late by a week on this, but beat Ran on my fourth try (ReimuB).
Should've beaten her the third time, but I tried to safespot her last card without understanding how the safespot worked, so I just did it the real way on my winning attempt.
...but if someone would like to teach me the safespot, I'm all ears :V
-
SA Hard
got to midboss Orin
lol I haven't even finished SA normal yet =P
-
SA Hard 1cc.
Entered stage 3 with full power and no life loss, died to Yuugi twice IIRC, maybe once.
No life loss until Satori, died on Terrifying Hypnotism and clipped BoWaP TWICE.
Screwed up Orin too.
Midboss death(no bombs though), then clipped Spleen Eater two times. It was a 100% capture in practice.....
Not enough power for Small Demon's Revival, so died there too.
Entered stage 6 with 2 lives and 1 power, got to Utsuho with 2 lives and 4 power.
Bombed Nuclear Excursion once(which is really good), second and 4th nonspells once.(died on 4th....same as my Normal 1cc which was close too)
Giga Flare took 2 bombs, but gained them back on Planetary Revolution, also Utsuho decided to be uber cool and stay above me during Tokamak, so I've captured both that and Subterranean Sun.
Only UFO left....actually, screw that.
Also noticed another thing: I always play better after falling asleep in the afternoon because I've went to bed too late, lol.
Seriously. I just try VoWG while still half asleep and capture it out of nowhere.
First SA hard attempt, cleared with 2 lives left.
-
Okay, so I had an absolutely horrible Reimu A run in UFO (I can't seem to who anyone who isn't a spread/homing type. D:), enter stage 6 with 2 1/4 lives and 1 2/3 bombs.
Burst Green UFO too early, now at 2 bombs.
Death to dodgeball ying-yang orbs.
Gain life from Space Invader Fairies.
Nue gives me power.
Encounter Hiziri with 2 bombs and two lives.
Deathbomb first spellcard.
Die on third nonspell.
Bomb third spellcard.
Die on last nonspell.
Revival bomb last nonspell.
Bomb Demon's Recitation. No resources left.
Capture Air Scroll.
CAPTURE FLYING FANTASTICA. ALMOST CLIP A BULLET WHILE THE MAPLE LEAVES FELL BUT -1 PIXEL HITBOX HELL YEAH!

What are you talking about? Shots turn into point items and a bonus score is displayed at the top of the screen in between Alice's phases. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65XsORNMvbA) You're acting like the PC98 games are ZOMGPRIMITIVE or something. It's extremely tough, and harder than a lot of Windows Extras, but not impossible.
-

Well they are ZOMGPRIMITIVE. But that's not what i meant. What i meant was that Flandre and all other Windows bosses have their health bar split up neatly indicating the length of their attack. I like being able to see when a given attack is over with, especially if its one i'm having much trouble with.
PC-98 just have one big life bar representing the entire boss. For an extra boss, that's quite a lot of health to cover in just one gauge.
But it doesn't matter too much to me now. I decided to give it one final shot and beat her. I guess it was the 6th attempt or something. I'm sorry for overreacting but dying because of some random BS makes me angry like nothing else.
But i guess her visual disturbances in the end wasn't enough to keep me from victory.
-

Congrats on beating her. Alice was one of the most frustrating bosses for me too simply because I kept losing on that last phase so many times. Really though, only her last attack and second purple laser spam seem to be pure luck garbage, her others are all down to skill (with it being very easy to mess up), especially the homing shots of doom, so sometimes taking a break and coming back to a boss can really help. :P
-
Aaaaaanddd... LLS Extra clear.
DgBarca, guess you aren't the only one who have a successful day.
-
Aaaaaanddd... LLS Extra clear.
DgBarca, guess you aren't the only one who have a successful day.
Ho I haven't tried LLS Extra Today
I can reach Half Gengetsu on good run so I won't do it today
Oh and ReimuA or MarisaA sor LLS extra ?
-
Because I had a very long time in Advisory class today, I broke my no Touhou month temporarily to do a full run of MS lunatic. It...was terrible. I died in stage ONE, got laser'd by Luize (I think I know why it's deceptively difficult: The laser moves faster than your focus speed can get out of the way), and yeah. Only the max lives I used got me to a 1cc, but there was at least one good thing: I finally captured cheeto lasers. Pretty satisfying.
-
I was just messing around in IN Extra and managed a cap of Returning Bridge Ichijo. Which actually is an accomplishment when some games I'm still working on Easy and the rest Normal, heh.
-
Captured Hell's Tokamak Lunatic.
I thought it was a really hard card like 2 months ago....I was still scared of the normal version back then.
Turns out it's just a bunch of clipdeath. Oh well :V
-
- HRtP: Lunatic 2cc Makai Route;
- PoDD: 1cc Normal Kotohime;

I guess that's it.

Ah!!!!! I just came to a realization, why I am losing interest in Touhou. It is not because it has gotten too easy, it's not because I've tired of it...it's because...
OF DODONPACHI! *points finger at physical manifestation of Dodonpachi, who overreacts in a shocked way* The problem is really that while I enjoy Touhou's stages much better than Dodonpachi, the hard fact is that Dodonpachi is a million times more intense than Touhou. The real problem all along is that Touhou simply doesn't make my pulse pound as hard as Dodonpachi, so obviously once my obsession with the game goes away, so too will my boredom of Touhou. I'm really relieved, I thought this was something serious.
Oh, and I 1cc'd Dodonpachi. :V

Oh yeah, and I won't consider it a 1cc unless you do it from start to finish, none of your silly savestates :P

And that you shall get. After tomorrow I have a three day weekend with Dodonpachi's name on it, if I don't do it before then.

I don't like Cave, you hear me? My beef is with Dodonpachi, the rest of the shooters you sent me are just timewasters. ESPwhatever annoys me with its shield, Donpachi can just drop dead easy, and Progear puts me to sleep before I ever reach stage 3. It's not that it's easy, it's just...lifeless.
But I can at least smugly say I 1cc'd Dodonpachi from the very start now. Now my next goal is to second loop through any means necessary so I can face Hibachi...

What? I mean, I've personally noticed differences in the speed of the bubble bullets in Kagome, Kagome, or am I just hallucinating?
Also, didn't they make the "Ultra Mode" EoSD Extra videos simply by hacking rank to be like 90 or something? If that's the only variable they changed/froze with CheatEngine, then rank would have to affect it.
-
Timed VoWG down to 50 seconds. Lol.
EDIT: And Perfect Satori battle as ReimuB on Hard. Mt. Tokugushi thingy is fun!
-
First SA Lunatic run (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5284) in ~1-2 months.
I almost feel ashamed by dying at certain really easy parts.
Note that:
-I haven't ever unlocked Stages 5 and 6 on either Hard or Lunatic
-I've only experienced Stages 5 of Hard and Lunatic
-You can also infer that I've never 1cc'd SA Hard.
-It's ReimuC
-
I beat SA easy yay :V
What should my next project be? I've cleared 6-11 on easy, only IN and PoFV without continues though. UFO or try to suck less on the other Touhous?

Flandre is affected by rank. See this thread (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=2579.0). Specifically, the video in the original post (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbYWIrzxzrU), one where it's a run of the EoSD extra at a hacked, higher rank.

I think that the rank is frozen for most spellcards, since hacking the rank higher(which seems to bypass that) makes some patterns glitch.
-

This. I've done many hundreds of EoSD Extra runs, so I probably would've noticed if any patterns ever changed. I'm 99% sure it's only Philosopher's Stone that's affected in a non-hacked game. The stage and all of the other spellcards are always the same (speed and volume-wise).
What? I mean, I've personally noticed differences in the speed of the bubble bullets in Kagome, Kagome, or am I just hallucinating?
I guess these could be affected as well. Never noticed it myself, but then I might just not have been paying enough attention.
-
I think that the rank is frozen for most spellcards, since hacking the rank higher(which seems to bypass that) makes some patterns glitch.
Ah, so the spellcards are technically programmed by ZUN to be affected by rank, it's just that in a normal (i.e. unhacked) game they're set to a fixed, preprogrammed rank regardless of whatever you're at currently.
-
I beat SA easy yay :V
What should my next project be? I've cleared 6-11 on easy, only IN and PoFV without continues though. UFO or try to suck less on the other Touhous?
UFO's not so bad on Easy, especially if you get as many lives as possible. Try that. :)
-
I was playing StB and just realized that the vsync patch is making the game run at 75 fps. No matter what I do in the config file I can't seem to stop it from doing this. (Same for vsync in SA/UFO but at least they don't matter much)
Anyway, this is when I also realize I've been doing every Level up to 9 off of 75 fps instead of 60. FFFFFFFF-
So then I run it without vsync and almost instantly get Mercury Sea and Seamless Ceiling captured to unlock Level 10. Awesome. At least this means that I beat those spells before that even with a speed-up game... yay? Maybe I can actually capture something on Level 6 now >_>
-
UFO's not so bad on Easy, especially if you get as many lives as possible. Try that. :)
You technically get more bang for your buck going for green UFOs since each full one gives you a full bomb and a hollow bomb item. But if you're maxed out with bombs then go for lives I guess. :V
-
Got to the Prismriver Sisters for the first time. Yeah, it's not much, but it feels like an accomplishment to me!
Promptly losing my last life at the start of Lyrica's first attack, on the other hand... not too proud of that.
-
I have multiple that I am proud of. Mostly imperishable night since I freaking love spell practice... Lunatic pass (2nd time) Curse of the Heavens appolo 13 capture on Lunatic without the safespot, Fujiyama Volcano capture, (have now captured everything in Extra besides Imperishable Shooting) Lunatic Red Eyes capture, Unseasonable Butterly Storm, and more. Iunno, I've been on a streak recently.
on a side note, is it just me, or is Earth Light Ray harder on Normal than Lunatic? I have yet to capture it (ON FREAKING NORMAL) but got it in 4 tries Lunatic...
-
Yes it is harder on normal.
I also find Non-Directional Laser harder than Starlight Typhoon, Swallow's Cowrie Shell harder than Life Spring Infinity, and Dragon's Necklace harder than Brilliant Dragon Bullet.
-

ALOT better.

Like this? (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5291) It's easy enough if you have precise movement. I have no idea how you would do "Shoot the Moon" blindfolded, seeing as you're more likely to get hit by a laser. Maybe you just got lucky and / or used Border Team.
Also, No Focus No Vertical "Shoot the Moon" timeout (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5289).

I guess I got lucky, but it only took two tries. I just moved to around the bottom left and started randomly tapping right. If I heard lasers go off and I wasn't dead, I stopped moving for a second.
Also, No Focus, No Vertical, Fujiyama Volcano w/ Reimu (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5292)

I still haven't done that. :(
So I did a HRtP lunatic 1cc and recorded it (unlike the shooters, HRtP isn't any more difficult windowed) to prove that the game is easy. Look forward to it.
And it wasn't a 1cc, but I managed to beat Sariel without bombing. :V
-

We all can always beat up on MS' midbosses. :V

That game is the most evil thing on Earth. I look forward to it.
Also, what do you people use to record PC-98?
-
I use Fraps like always. The annoying thing though is that you can't record in full screen because Fraps sucks and doesn't anchor to it full screen for some arbitrary reason. You also have to use T98 Next, which I don't care what anyone says, there is one reason I hate that emulator that is completely objective: Slowdown. Thankfully HRtP is both easy to play windowed and doesn't slow down unless Fraps is being bitchy.
-
You could alternatively (and back in the days when I did use one) use a desktop recorder. Note that it may or may not generate more slowdown though.
-
I tried a bunch of desktop recorders but the results were dreadful - not much slowdown, but the capture ends up very choppy no matter what I do. Also couldn't get Fraps to record from T98-Next, but since Next gives me massive slowdown as well it wouldn't matter.
Oh well maybe my computer is just that ancient. For a comparison, 32-bit brofists sometimes drop my framerate to about 30fps.
Oh, also: reached lunatic Yumeko's blue streams of doom in my first try at MS lunatic (and *gasp* fifth considering all difficulties) despite completely messing up stage 4 in the most horrible way because THE BULLETS ARE THE SAME COLOUR AS THE BACKGROUND AND THEN THEY COME AT YOU SIDEWAYS FROM BELOW AND IT'S HORRIBLE ASDSADFASDF. But then... perfect Yuki/Mai battle, including solo Yuki. Not sure how much the awful stage run affected it, though.

I never understood the problem with the stage 4 bullets honestly =/ There's a perfectly nice difference between the bullets and the background. Actually, I've never ended up dying to an invisible bullet there, but I do on black backgrounds with small white bullets... <_<
-
I know how that feels. I'd wish you could turn off the backgrounds in PC-98. They are of poor visual quality of often disturbs vision.
-
Beat Flandre in Scarlet Symphony, Normal. I dunno if difficulty affects her, or what the difficulty affects at all.
-
Either my eyes are really good (this may be the case; I have sat in dark rooms playing video games for 17 years and still have perfect eyesight), or you guys need to get better eyes. The only time I've ever had trouble seeing bullets at all are the white bullets in MS stage 4 on the light blue background. Even then, I rarely die.
Also I just faced Hibachi. I think I'm in love~

So, you were complaining about ReimuC some time ago 'nut? (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5294)
Really, at this rate, I should be able to 1cc SA using this shot type within 2 days, spending 1 hour on per day on learning the stages.
EDIT: Hm. I just had a thought. Maybe Satori-Aya's 2nd and 3rd Spell Cards are static? Probably not the 3rd, but the 2nd one is looking like it's static...

Or maybe we should just go play some games where the visuals aren't annoying. Hitboxes are much better indicated in Windows era games and backgrounds aren't as annoying.
And i rarely die in MS Stage 4 either but its still annoying. Also, Gengetu. She have that attack where she fires a laser and you have to move to move inbetween some lines away from the laser. Meanwhile, she will fire some small bullets. I didn't see those. What happened you think?
But i'm not going to write down examples of PC-98 visual annoyances because they are all over the place. Its not so bad that i can't win anything but its cause for unfair deaths that could easily have been avoided in the windows games.
-
i timed out philisopher's stone and starbow break with marisa, i think that's an accomplishment..

I really hate the pellet walls. Like in Alice's first EX attack.
And Mugetu's first attack where you are supposed to go between the tiny lasers.
-
You don't have to see those bullets Zengeku; they are always aimed.
Really, am I just the only person who isn't affected by PC-98 backgrounds and can see the bullets fine in almost any circumstance? EX Alice's background doesn't bug me at all.
-
Same, the background isn't that bad. The fire attack however is. :V
Captured BoLaD without a safespot. Now if I could capture Kokkuri-san.....only extra/phantasm PCB card I didn't capture yet :V
-
Oh...
Today, I 1cc'd Lunatic SoEW with ReimuC...
So, with it, I 1cc'd th02, 04, 05, 07 and 09 with all shot types at every level. And, at th08, I 1cc'd FinalA and B in every level with all teams.

i dunno. Maybe its you, maybe its me. Actually, looking back i don't even think i have been hit by many of those bullets i keep bitching about. It just annoys me. It gives me a feeling of not being able to play at my full potential.
I think bullets stand out from the BG much better in the PC games but maybe its just because of some Windows games-fanboism that makes me unable to accept the problems that the PC-98 games may have.
The visual annoyances is probably not all that game killing as i make it sound like. Its probably more like the lack of a visible hit-box, the lack of a health bar split up so you can see how long an attack is gonna last, the lack of death-bombing, the lack of practice start etc.
But enough of my complaints. You love PC-98 to death so this rambling probably annoys you to death. Sorry if i'm being offensive. Its just debating these things with you guys helps me get over a lot of unnecessary hate. Like with UFO, DoDonPachi and Ikaruga for example.
Oh and about Gengetu. Those bullets she fires off thats not the lasers or the spark. They are aimed you say? So i guess you just have to move up a bit or something? It would be interesting to know because i might want to rematch her sometimes.
EDIT: Oh, almost forgot. LLS Hard clear. First attempt at default lives got me a 1cc. I didn't know how to do half of these attacks so i lost lives at places such as the stage 2 boss. I still got a clear though. Game is pretty generous with those lives.
-
Yep. Just move vertically and those bullets will miss you every time. It's more awesome than it is hard.
And try LLS lunatic and you'll see why it gives you so many lives. :3
You love PC-98 to death so this rambling probably annoys you to death.
Naw, I'm used to it. Many more people like PC-98 than there used to ne, but there's still many haters.
Also, I want to record myself playing Hibachi but I should probably make it so he takes less than 10 continues first. :V
-

Graze counter blocked at 999 every single stage ?
-
Captured Peta Flare, Subterranean Sun(L) 3 times in a row and Hell's Tokamak(L) in the middle.
Still can't get Uncontainable Nucler Reaction.....I always get a 1 death 0 bombs. And always at the beginning or 15 seconds left.
Never captured it on anything else than Easy.

It's been about 5 months since I mentioned 'Give me X days, X months, and maybe X years, and I'll tell my experience in VoWG', and this replay is my best run for MoF Stage 6 Lunatic. First three spell cards captured...fourth almost captured (but failed)...and the last...well, obviously no. Still, at least this makes a great accomplishment, though there are better MoF stage 6 runs than this one...
And yes, it's perfectly legit, if anyone's asking. Attempted this practice run 65 times total. I used to have problems capturing Kanako's third spell card until exactly my 40th try, which I captured. I still don't know why I'm incapable of capturing her fourth spell card...the red and purple bullets usually wall me, but that's pretty much normal for most people. VoWG...well, it's pretty obvious why I can't capture it. As Zengeku would tell me, I have a long way to go before I can hope for a VoWG capture, and I have to agree... Currently 0/65...and I'm pretty sure I won't be capturing it for another 100 or so tries...maybe...
If anyone wants, I'll be happy to post a screenshot of my spell card history in terms of this stage 6 run...
-
Took me 3 days of religious VoWG grinding to capture it.....it feels great when you're done with it :V
Something like 118 attempts, with close attempts all the way from 40.
By the way, stop going for decent runs if you are going for VoWG.
Bomb the crap out of everything. EVERYTHING. Unless you want that Source of Rains capture too.
Also, if you fail a decent run(second death) stop shooting and try to last as long as you can.
Practice passing through the less dense amulet walls and learn to move around in it....after many attempts, it will be just a matter of not clipping it.
And a few stupid waves maybe, that green/blue one which tends to throw a frontal wall and had a gap only somewhere in the sides always got me.

In that replay, since I had a decent run, I kinda had to value the run, since after all, it's my 'best run'...so I had to bomb in the end. I remember my first victory in that stage where I died five times in VoWG without bombing...and I'm pretty sure we all would run into an unavoidable wall at some point...hate it. :(
I still need to capture the Source of Rains card, since I'm also 0/65 on it (yeah yeah)...so I guess I'll keep going with decent runs until I can capture it...and well, practice makes perfect, I guess. Time to resume my VoWG marathon...as said before, I doubt I'd post my VoWG Lunatic accomplishment anytime soon...unless...
-
Heck yeah, ReimuB SA 1cc.
And it was my third time making it past Satori.
-
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I found out that Apollo 13 has a blind spot (http://h1.ripway.com/Azure/th8_ud1-13.rpy). It's probably no easier than doing it normally (I had trouble getting it to work with the small-hitbox characters, and I only did it once otherwise), but it looks pretty cool.
Other than that, I probably haven't done anything too special (at least compared to everyone else on the forum, who has probably played Touhou for 50 times as long). I'm better at individual spells than full runs, which means that IN is my favorite by far. Why'd they take out spell practice from the later ones, anyway?
-
S5 SA is trivial stuff. Well, except for midboss Orin. "Catwalk"SA S5 SC1 (or whatever it's called on Lunatic) is probably the easiest of the midboss attacks for me.

How exactly do you deal with the opener orb spam?
I can never destroy the first 2 fast enough so I have constantly 2 on me, and then a 3rd spawns most of the time....
But the midboss. ffffffffffff-
-
How exactly do you deal with the opener orb spam?
Because I'm using ReimuC, I'm essentially forced to use a bomb to pass it.
If you're using ReimuA (most probably), I would probably suggest using a bomb as well. Use it as soon as you destroy the first orb, then proceed to take out the other orb and the upcoming 3rd one. Then the other orbs following will go down quickly as well.
This is why I like "Tengu Macro Burst"SA S4 SC2C so much.

Captured Lunatic Blazing Wheel fully focused :V
-
Captured Utsuho's final card, Normal.
Using Reimu B.
HELL YEAH!
-
For the orbs in stage 5, start on the left, slowly stream to the right after killing the first orb, time it so you are under the third orb to kill it when it appears, then move over to kill the second (hardest part) and the fourth that will soon appear. From that it's pretty simple, and you just move to kill the orbs as they appear.

SA Hard 1CC. I did luck out on it sometime before but i didn't feel the clear was good enough so i did a new one. Finished with i think 6 lives and 700,000,000+ score.
Capped Catwalk with 2.xx power too.
I guess 1cc'ing that game on Hard isn't as hard as i thought it was.

UFO Hard went down fairly quickly for me. Three attempts. Of course, all that's hard about UFO Hard is mostly only hard for the bad reasons.

Captured Hourai Elixir on Hard without ever seeing it before. =D

Ye it's pretty easy if you've done it on normal (and if you havent seen it on normal either, ipressive.)
I was doing MoF normal 1cc and had no deaths on stage 6 ;D (..........ok 1 death on VoWG but dont tell anyone!)
edit: OOOOH YEAAAAAH !!! UFO normal 1cc! I haven't touched that game in a month and decided to give it a go, and bam I go and 1cc it in 1 try ;D I think I entered stage 4 with 7 lives lol, then fuck up on murasa's last spell (2 lives down the drain). Went into stage 6 with 5 lives tough and made it to the last spell with 3 left, and I wouldn't be myself if I hadn't used all of those on the final card >.>
EXTRA HERE I COME!!

Is capturing Danmaku Chimera on 3rd try with 2.00 power with ReimuA an accomplishment ?

SA Lunatic 1cc (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5314). Overpowered shot type used, but an accomplishment nonetheless.
Crap play. The only notable part would be that single awesome dodge during "Catwalk" (...or whatever it's called on Lunatic. I should probably learn the name). Unfortunately, I bombed the first wave, so... no capture there.
-
Why do you have such a moral objection to using the high power shot types? ??? It's not that they do too much damage, it's that others just plain don't do much at all. :V
And good job now do it with Marisa C.
-

You think the other shot types don't do enough. Well, I argue the one single shot type is too strong by itself (an outlier of sorts). Both statements are the same, but use different "reference points" as it were. I guess another way you can think about it is the "standards" of shot types, where you set the "standard" line higher than I do.
And good job now do it with Marisa C.
Not today, I've got work to catch up on.

IN Normal. As Youmu. NO FOCUS!!!! Finished off early stage 4, but with constant six-star speed, that's still PRETTY FREAKING GOOD!

Up to today, on SA Normal I always gameovered on Orin (or, if I was lucky, Utsuho's first spell).
Today, I finally beat it for the first time. With six lives left.

Unfortunately I had a glingleingle death on Catwalk, but other than that it went great.

That makes all extra EoSD, IN, SA and UFO cards captured.
Got all from Phantasm, but I STILL can't get Kokkuri-san. And MoF extra is boring and wallshit.
-
Finally beat UFO normal mode.
It wasn't a 1CC (I had to do like 20 continues against Shou and 25-30 more against Byakuren herself), but the important thing is I've got them down. Hopefully I'll be able to legitimately 1CC it with Marisa A sometime soon, because I actually made it halfway through Shou before I got my first game over...

Timed out Hell's Tokamak Lunatic.
It's the coolest way to fuck up your eyes.
EDIT: Actually, timed it out in the center now. I almost wasn't even breathing once the 10 second countdown started.

Was a huge idiot and forgot to save a replay, but I 1CCed EoSD Easy with ReimuA. There's a big ol' C next to my score on the scoreboard, though, so I'm happy.

So after dying on the stage 3 FUCKING TIMES (I usually die maybe once) I clear Mugetu using only one bomb.
So I get to Gengetu, 1 bomb on her first phase, 2 bombs on her second (I have no idea what to do here) and I get to her third phase for the very first time! :D
and then I died 3 times on it and game over

First phase: Trust your hitbox. That's all that really needs to be said.
Second phase: If she's on the left or right side of the screen when she's firing the fast wall bouncing bullets, line up under her or stay in the corner. Then watch out for the straight-falling bullets. The white bullets are aimed at you.
Third Phase: Move as little as possible for the first part, stream and graze the bullets. Move just a tiny, tiny bit in either direction for the triangle-shaped fan of bullets, they'll all miss you. You can get an extend or two if you ride this out for a while. You'll want them.
Fourth Phase: Pray. Dodge the fast spread if you can, then line up in between the lines, bullets will fall straight down. Move vertically in this spot, because she'll shoot an aimed shot during everything. Oh, and do NOT go under Gengetu during this part or you'll regret it.
The rest is pretty easy.
-
Do you have a replay of that? i would love to see it.
My eyes still hurt :V (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nksJ1hdX90M)
It wasn't hard at all.
-
I kept dying at VoWG (Hard) because of the BS waves that started appearing when the HP bar reached Kanako's name... but I remembered hearing it was time-based, so I tried extra effort into staying underneath Kanako as much as possible...
Capped VoWG first try with that strategy, 98 seconds on the timeout clock, it felt like it died sooo fast. Now to download a Lunatic ReimuB replay so I can try out Lunatic VoWG and see how much eviler that is.

Not hard at all? Whatever are you saying? If you can keep focus when lit in the face with a flashlight maybe.
Its probably just one of those cards i just can't do. And the bullets she uses for it doesn't aid me much either. I hate those.

At least I really notice that I've improved... I've completed lots of missions I couldn't before...

So, I finally got StB and tried it. Did everything in the first four stages except the Cirno streaming that erupts into spread shots (was that 2-5? Don't remember and I'm not gonna look it up again x.x) and 4-9. Didn't do 4-9 since I really needed to (and still need to as I write this) head to sleep... By the way, Tewi and Medicine are rage >_>
-
Just 1cc'd LLS lunatic with Marisa 1/2. Nothing too special, but I haven't played many full runs of PC-98 since getting this new computer (thanks to me trading the slowdown for this annoying flicker that doesn't impact my playing, but is REALLY annoying.)
-
Oh well, i guess you beat me on this one, Banana. I seem to be completely unable to handle Hells Tokamak or whatever its called.
I'm doing much better at her other cards except for Subterranean Sun which i don't do too well against either. Its annoying but that's just how it is.
-
Cleared Phantasm finally, with ReimuB. That was much harder than it should have been, although I finally figured out Shikigami "Ran" for once.
Border of Bullshit and Cheating Humans and Youkai massacred me, though. Two clipdeaths and one bomb, good lord. Yukari's Arcanum was really easy though, considering I've no-focus-supergraze-captured her Last Word in IN three times already :V
-
So, as my achievements of the last couple of months were gone, I thought I'd try to reclaim them starting with the EoSD hard 1cc.
On my first try I lose 5 lives during the first three stages, almost all of them with full bombs, three because of rushing to the poc in stupid situations. After that, my skill quadruples and I manage to still pull off the 1cc, with one extra life remaining and a capture of Scarlet Gensokyo as the icing on the cake. :V
Yeah, it was with 4 starting lives. I don't care. :P
-
Beating every Final boss on Normal, and beating Ran and Suwako are my biggest touhou accomplishments. ;D

New Mystical Chain level down! PC-98 Alice was a big surprise.
Ah, I can see changes already! Chapter 5 is so much easier now!
Also, they said something about a bug in 4-5.

Yeah, the thunderfluffs are no longer ragequit material, thank god. In 4-5, using spellcards against the Scarlets now has a high chance of crashing the game :( They fixed the glitch that actually showed up in my video against the Scarlets, where I win but have to wait another attack cycle before they go into the final spellcard.
-
Further testing is telling me it's for this part specifically. It's happened twice here. I didn't even use any Spell Cards either :V

Hm, guess I'll wait it out before trying this again.
Fun fact: I would actually be motivated enough to do 4-5 enough so that I could be able to beat it in about 6-7 minutes if:
- This current bug / crashing issue is resolved
- If the last attack didn't take so long (I wonder if they changed it?)

Captured Rainbow UFO for the second time. :V

After some hardcore blind fiddling, I have fixed Anex86's problem where it is flickering. How you may ask? After trying many things before it, I discovered that Synch (vs Asynch which it was on before) does not flicker. After turning Synch down to 1, the game now works...FLAWLESSLY. OMG THIS IS SO GREAT, IT'S LIKE MY SKILLS ARE REBORN.
To celebrate, I perfected Mugetu and cleared LLS extra with only 2 deaths (maybe the problem WAS hampering my abilities). I have also FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY figured out the MS extra preboss spam thanks to a response on a Youtube video. Despite how it looks, once the final part begins, simply streaming as slowly to the right as possible will cause everything to miss you.
I repeat: YESSSSSSS!
But PoDD still doesn't work. :(

That was amazing. Kind of makes me want to actually try at Mystical Chain. PC-98 Alice is one of my favorites <3

It's Mystic Records, though. So, not quite the real Alice, but still looks awesome.
-
If it looks like PC-98 Alice, has a variation of her theme song, and uses spells that are meant to resemble PC-98 Alice's patterns, it's easier just to say it's her :P

Okay, WOW. I did this (as well as turned on all the sound channels and stuff, stupid default options) and I too perfected Mugetu and cleared the Extra on my second try (albeit with no lives left). It is SO FRIGGIN' SMOOTH. It's like when I first used the Vsync patch for PCB.
That said...it also seems a chunk faster. Gengetu's third phase killed me twice because I didn't think it was that fast. And I was getting much less than 1% slowdown even before (now a flat zero), so it it just that the removal of the tiny chunks of lag makes stuff seem faster, or did I tweak something I shouldn't have and speed things up a bit?
EDIT: Also, according to this (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=1440.msg52780#msg52780), my value for "possible points", or whatever the last line before the final two says, was over 100. Significantly.

/me breathes heavily like Ganondorf does at the end of OoT
Nnnnnghhh.....YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
SA STAGE 4 LUNATIC NO DEATHS.
SA STAGE 5 LUNATIC ONE DEATH.
SA STAGE 6 LUNATIC NO DEATHS.
GOD FUCKING DAMN IT.
Seriously, Utsuho didn't deserve to evade my no death run this long, especially not after Remilia and Kaguya. It's all because of her first spell card and second non-spell. Thankfully I finally (30 minutes later) reached Hell's Tokamak with 2.00 power AND was smart enough to use those bombs. I never want to repeat the amount of times I had to make hitbox prayer dodges in Subterranean Sun, but the point is...I BEAT HER. Now Byakuren is the only Windows boss left before I've beaten every final boss on lunatic without dying. Unless stage practice is somehow added to PC-98, I'm not really ever going to try beating those no deaths.
And if you're wondering why no replay of SA stage 4 or 6 even though I beat them no deaths, it's because they are entirely unimpressive, especially since for stage 6 to keep my sanity I bomb spammed the stage like there was no tomorrow.

EDIT: Uh, Stage 5 SCs.
-
UFO Normal 1cc with SanaeB. No replay because Stages 4 and 5 were horrible.
-
After a fair bit of time and effort (shut up, I'm new at this), I have now 1CC'd EoSD Easy with every single character, as well as captured every Easy spellcard. On to PCB!
Mind, I think this one will take a fair bit longer, as my frustration with all my deaths on the Prismrivers and Youmu eventually eroded my gameplay to the point where I bombed twice on Pentagram Flight E, and still died before it was over. Still, I've at least gotten to Yuyuko before, so I'll probably have a victory to show for it before the end of the week.
-
I am forced to conclude that EX Alice is nowhere near as hard as I thought.
I just tried her for the first time in months. Got to her cheeto laser phase (which is a full phase and a half farther than ever before), 5 deaths...2 bombs. And one was at the spam.
...I'm'a go beat LLS Lunatic and MS Extra now. Or go to class and then do it. Either way.
-
Got to Gengetu's second to last phase!
Which is really good because I went into her 0/2 thanks to stupid mistakes on the stage and especially on Mugetu.
Gengetu is so much fucking fun.

With the advent of savestates in Next, I decided to take a tour of SoEW, to study a few particular things that I really want to learn. Firstly, I'm disappointed as usual in Next. It lags so severely (much worse than it was on my old computer with Anex86) that I can't even set up a stage practice to attempt stuff like no death runs. This lag means that it is ONLY good for studying patterns
Of course, there is only one thing I really cared about: Mima. The cheating bitch who throws undodgeable danmaku at you like her star attack. Through the magic of savestate scumming, I made the most amazing discovery ever: Dodging that star attack is all about knowing what is coming and how to react, and that that is possible.
I discovered from constant savestate reloading from both a specific point at the start of her third set of attacks (after she drops three power items) and from the start of the fight that Mima's third set of attacks (which include two attacks that until now were autobombs) that they always follow the same progression:
1. Easy firing of bullets with wide gaps throughout the screen.
2. Spinning whachamacolits (the something suns) that release, spin rapidly, and fire a ton of danmaku after about a second.
3. The infamous star attack.
While the first attack of the set is randomly generated, these three attacks repeat in an endless cycle until you start Mima's fourth set of attacks. That takes care of the spinning suns attack. While the margin of error is still thin, the part that made this attack impossible was that you couldn't predict it, and by the time you recognize it and what's coming, it's already too late.
But what of the star attack? The infamous "fuck you" storm that is supposedly impossible? After state reloading over and over again, I died to this attack time and time again. It truly seemed impossible. Then out of boredom I tried lollygagging around the sides of and above Mima and noticed that, logically, this fires the clusterfuck in a different direction.
And then it hit me.
The way to dodge the star attack is to dash to the side of Mima (a little below that is fine too). As soon as it begins firing, fly down; Reimu B is just fast enough to outrun it if you time it perfectly. This brings you completely outside of the attack, leaving only the aimed stars to deal with. This just leaves simple streaming to dodge the remaining attacks. When I first discovered this I thought it only a novelty because there's no way you could predict it.
And now you can.
/me folds arms in triumph.
EDIT: BTW, ALL of Mima's attack phases follow this general rule: While the first attack is randomly generated, they will always follow the same progression, making this fight suddenly extremely easy and predictable. Still can't dodge that PoS attack where she floods the screen with bullets with hitboxes larger than the sprites, but whatever.
-
Cleared UFO Extra only with 1 death.....
....which was on Blue UFO.
Then again, I would die somewhere else. I can probably no death this if I would concentrate on bomb UFOs more since EX Kogasa is no longer dangerous....
Does anyone here also do Guerrilla Typhoon focused?
-
TAS'ed a Yukari's Last Word, unfocused. Now, IMMA PRACTICING W/O TAS

You're... ehh... a few months too slow on that as well. I already said the stars were aimed at your initial position. Misdirecting it to the side is one way (or above...). The other is to misdirect it straight down, and move up the screen to dodge.
However, it never occurred to me that the attacks repeat in a cycle. This requires some further investigation. Guess it's time to start using states to learn the games inside-out.
tl;dr you're months behind me in knowledge of PC-98 'nut :V
However, your knowledge for everything else save for UFO and PoFV is beyond me.
Does anyone here also do Guerrilla Typhoon focused?
\o
As for me, I've been lazing around trying to work out a more efficient method of doing "Catwalk".
-
;_; Screw you Baity, this is the discovery of the century. And besides, you worded it way too vaguely. I remembered you talking about a way to dodge it, but I misinterpreted it.
Besides, who did everything first, HMM? :>
And putting my newfound knowledge into practice on a GOOD emulator, I beat Mima with only one death. :V Easiest final boss ever amirite?
Oh, and after playing Donpachi, I notice a ton of similarities between that and SoEW: There's no focus, you have an unusually large hitbox, and both are shit throw in the same cheap difficulty enhancer on lunatic/second loop via making all the enemies fire bullets at you when they die.
-

You misinterpret a lot of things.
Also, you haven't done "everything" yet.

SA has that one. Either that, or yeah, probably SoEW. But that's because Lunatic = Hard essentially.
-
Utsuho is much harder than Mima, simply because of her three attacks between her first and third non-spells.
-

First SC hasn't changed difficulty too much. Second SC is still only moderate in difficulty for me. Both SCs can cheap out on you though.
Second non-spell is easy if you know the cheap-spots :V
Other than that, it's quite a bastard of an attack.
Also, we're approaching the end of this thread too.
-
Okay, I know after all you've done, both of you deserve it, but please it just looks silly when you turn your consentual waste of hours perfecting hard games like the masochists you are into a contest, claiming techniques and knowledge like Monopoly property.
Let the man bask in his discovery just like you did when you first figured it out. Just because he's cOLD'd doesn't mean he should just sit in the corner about it.
I continue spammed my way through SA Lunatic frequently using a youtube vid to guide me, and I STILL feel damn good about that accomplishment, so yeah, I may be wrong on this, or not have the right.
-
Wait you're taking this seriously? :V We all help each other, it's not like it's a contest of big tough men beating chests.
But I'm better.
Also, I finally captured Murasa's third non-spell. Geez that attack is a nightmare to read even if it is static.
-

This.
/me ignores spoilers
After all there's still this (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=2427.0) to come. 3rd week is upon us soon.
In other news, I somehow managed to get yet another 1DNB SA S5 Lunatic. I've also worked out what I'm doing wrong on "Catwalk", but my reflexes are making me screw it up. Nice to know isn't it?
-
UFO extra no deaths :V
Probably one of the easier ones thanks to the bomb supply, my first no death extra too.
Failed Blue UFO, Undefined Darkness(lured her to the middle because it was too dense) and Yorimasa Genzanmi, rest captured. :V

Messed around in UFO Extra. Found out a few interesting yet useless pattern observations (unless you're into scoring, even then there's a high chance that I'm not the first one to discover these things). Blue UFOs is still pressuring me at ~20 second left on the clock for a timeout, that will definitely need some work :V
Though, I did get a "KKS" (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5369)UFO S3 SC2 timeout. I'd almost call it a fluke. Almost. I think the mass SA S5 grinding actually paid off though. I also found out during one of my test runs a few "semi-blind" spots during certain SCs. This will have to get further checking before I confirm it as a viable method though. What SC is it? It's a secret.
Oh, and a "Catwalk" History of 8/48. Though I estimate 30%, I didn't factor in reaction-based factors e.g. panic-dodging. Yes, every time I capture it will be an accomplishment, until I can do it consistently enough. Because it's the arguably hardest Spell Card ever.
-
...I reached Reisen. As Youmu. On a no focus run. Of Normal mode. I also captured Stardust Reverie and Keine's last spell.
What. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5373)
-
That was equal parts difficult, terrifying and incredibly fun. I bombspammed my way through Subterranean Rose, but still. SA Extra No Focus clear! (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5374) Hell yeah.
Capped Nine Syllable Stabs, Miracle Fruit, Ancestors, Danmaku Paranoia, Superego and Embers of Love. Most of her cards seem very precision based, so I had a lot of difficulty with most of them without focus... Rorschach in particular; that basically ended up as bombspam, too. :V Still very pleased with this, though, didn't think I'd actually be able to pull it off until a few hours ago. That makes six seven Extras no focus cleared lol SoEW
, which just leaves LLS, MS and UFO. To be honest, I think SA was probably the most difficult one, pretty confident I can manage the others now. :V
-
Second try of MS Lunatic that went places(as in, not stage 1 restarts) got to:
(http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/8397/th05luna2ndtry.jpg)
Perfect up until Alice, where her first phase killed me due to LOLFASTSPAM. Perfected the rest of Alice though, so yeah. Stage 4 was messy, and Stage 5 seemed like Stage 5, but harder. =V
Oh, and I oddly seem to be able to change directions with more success on Yumeko's aimed kunai streams-lasers attack. =V Doesn't mean I didn't die horribly though.
-
Got through about a third of Koishi before failing during a pacifist run (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5382). Pretty proud of it, I guess. Might try to clear the whole Extra Stage later on if I have the time. Tried a few tricks needlessly just to make the replay less boring :V
EDIT: Also, no border abuse yay~! 'Cause teleportation is for wussies!
-
(http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/8021/msextrarargh.png)
Finally.
5 deaths, 11 bombs. Amazingly, I only used two bombs on cheeto lasers and only a single one on the eighth phase (I have no idea why I didn't die). My last bomb went off as she cleared, so the dialogue had a giant Mima in the background, and I just said "No, screw it, I don't care if you're dead, bomb anyway".
HAAAAA...
So...all Extras clear except PoFV and SoEW, only because I have yet to unlock either. And honestly don't really care to.
-
PoDD lunatic. I just magically* went from struggling to get past stage 2 to getting reliably to stage 7, in less than half a dozen tries. Of course, knowing how these Phantasmagoria games work, getting to stage 7 means jack shit, but still. At least now I know what I'm supposed to do... I think.
Also, do I keep gaining lives every 10 million points indefinitely, or is there a limit?
* magically = by playing Yumemi, of course :V
-
Ooh? Another person seriously attempting PoDD lunatic? Good luck~
But yeah sadly reaching stage 7 doesn't mean much. :( Any one of the opponents on lunatic can suddenly go from easy to impossible and screw you over, and you only get 4 lives total. That and Chiyuri is your worst nightmare and can easily take all your continues before even reaching Yumemi (who in comparison is a fair bit easier but can still whip you good).
-

One life at 10 million. Another life at 20 million. That's it.

I was trying Shiki extra no-horizontal in PoFV but got tired of getting 274 icicles to the face. Well that and it was a silly idea anyway. :V

Yeah, I noticed that the AI sometimes just falls apart, and sometimes.... doesn't. I'm hoping for the one-in-a-million chance that it crumbles for no reason during the last couple of levels as well - the first seven now look like a matter of remembering which boss attack does what, since I'm almost never getting hit by anything else. Of course I'm not getting my hopes up - last time I checked only three people 1cc'ed PoDD's lunatic outside of Japan, wasn't it?
One life at 10 million. Another life at 20 million. That's it.
Well then at least I certainly feel less bad at getting past 30 million after losing my last life a couple of times.
-
Well, only three that are known. There's probably a few other players who aren't in the community. Make it four~
-
~
LLS with the smoothness of my fix for Anex86 is SO FUN. Lunatic 1cc~
The funny part is that I died in stage 1. Against Orange. Because her second phase goes into sudden heavy modo if you take too long (and for Reimu A, it's impossible NOT to take too long) and I died. I figured the run was lost there, so I played less conservatively. I captured the stage 3 midboss (who I suspect is a lot easier than he looks considering how often I've captured him when I haven't bombed), AND finally captured the stage 4 midboss. I finished 2/2 in the end. =D
Really, LLS is quite possibly my favorite Touhou as odd as that may be. While it's quite easy (until it suddenly turns impossible lol), the music, the atmosphere, and the characters are top notch. It's like how a Kirby game is fun~
Also at the end of this video, there is Gengetu Rape Time reborn in Windows. :>

And good job now do it with Marisa C.
*tugs on sleeve* (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5386)
(good lord, how many times did I die with bombs in stock?)
I should also mention that this was done in 2 attempts. First one RQ'd (that's RAGE-Quit(ed)) at the end of Stage 1 for having 0.xx Power.
Hesitant to decide whether I should actually go and do Lunatic for EoSD, PCB and IN. I just feel... lazy about them. But after that, I can "brag" about 1cc'ing all the games on Lunatic.

Question: Would it still be an accomplishment if I were to beat SA Extra using the Marisa B bomb trick to bypass Sanae? I haven't unlocked it yet, but I'm trying to decide whether I should do so with Marisa A or Marisa B.
And no, I won't use Reimu A. I wanna use the witch.

If there's a fix patch I don't think I ever got it... though if there was I'd like a version update, because I hate having to watch replays from stage 4 when I just wanna see the Utsuho fight (and randomly crashing when I stage practice isn't exactly fun, either...).
