Substituting for Shimatora's Challenges (https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,17723.0.html). I'm keeping the same format for consistency: scoring, survival, and a quick single-spellcard challenge.
1st place on any category of the scoring or survival challenge will give you a monthly badge as usual, and the results will contribute to Shimatora's leaderboard.
Deadline: June 30 at 23:59:59 UTC
Oh, and here's a countdown timer (http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20150630T235959&p0=%3A&msg=May%2FJune+2015+MotK+Touhou+challenges).
Enjoy!

Survival Challenge
Survive for as long as you can in Great Fairy Wars route C1 or Extra without dying! If you die, immediately pause the game and save a replay. All difficulties allowed.
Ranked by pattern reached-- for example, a run that reaches the stage 2 boss 2nd nonspell would rank ahead of a run that reaches a stage 2 boss 1st spell. Stage portion halves are considered to each be a single phase, for simplicity. Clears are ranked by score.

Well if DDC is in the picture, you know I have to participate. :3
Actually, all three challenges sound promising. I did some messing around with LLS on stream earlier, but the rust was real, so I didn't clear any runs.
Anyway, as for this run, it's just a starting point that I'll get back to later. It actually had a bunch of promise going into Benben but as soon as I failed Benben's final spell, everything started going haywire. I missed almost all the 2.0s in stage 5, even failed two stage 5 spells, and ended up not getting many stage 6 2.0s. Failing Sukuna's final spell was the nail on the coffin.
The run had 1.25bil potential though, so I hope I can reach that by the deadline of the challenge.
I'll probably attempt to do things on Hard mode as well, and maybe Extra. We'll see.

Don't quite know if there's a difference between getting a high Point Item Value and capturing the spell while staying close to the boss, but I just gave it a shot.

This is what happens if I haven't played Normal for an eternity and I can't spam my lovely bombs, my face gets destroyed :V.
Might want to redo this...

I think Marisa is better at getting spirits from shotgunning Miko, but Reimu fits on better graze spots.

Didn't know what to do on the last phase, mostly a placeholder in case I feel like going back to it

No video because I can't record Pc-98 fullscreen and it lags when I play windowed (so I'm effectively handicapped and can't dodge).
This run had max misses, so I may go back to improve it. If I do I'll try and find a solution so I can have a video of it.

LOL at the end of my Quick Challenge runs. Good thing capturing the spell isn't necessary!

OK, round over.
I guess it'll be up to me to post another round too-- I'll need to think about it for a little while.
Edit: Actually, perhaps it'd be better to wait for the Touhou 15 demo, then make a round for that when it's available-- any thoughts? Or should that be saved for next month when we've had a chance to evaluate the shot types and gameplay mechanics?
-
We should probably save TH15 demo challenges until next month (you spelled "month" wrong as "momth", BTW). This way, we'll have had a decent chance to check out the shot types and other gimmicks the game uses.
-
Perhaps something related to TD Overdrive could be done?
-
New round posted. Sorry about the delay-- last few weeks of the semester, you know?
Edit: Also, the score/survival badges have been given out.
Perhaps something related to TD Overdrive could be done?
I assume you mean the main-game hacked difficulty setting? The problem is that I'm not sure how to make it an interesting challenge-- for survival it's a combination between Easy and Lunatic/Overdrive with fewer spell cards, and for score it'd likely be the usual TD bombing with less strategy (since blue spirits won't add to point item value).

I always had trouble with "Test Slave" >_<
I'll try it again when I have more motivation.

I'll be away until June 7, so there might not be a June round (if there is one, it won't be until after I return at the very least). I'm still able to check MotK on my phone, but it's not practical for me to add scores or type up a new round that way.
Since this round didn't get much participation due to the LoLK demo release, I'm extending the deadline until next month. I've also added one new category for the LoLK demo itself.
If anyone else would like to run a challenge thread of your own (and you're prepared to keep it updated with entries), go ahead. It could be a similar or different format.
