I'm sorry, what were you saying about making the new thread, Donut?

The RAAAAGE is that Baity was too slow. :P
Here's the previous thread. (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=2489.0) Post your moments in Touhou that make you go ARGHGBARARHALGAGASDLKGAGH DX.
-
Poor Baity. :(

...and I was sitting here with a tab open waiting for the 1000th replay. Go figure that you decided to do something like this. Oh well, you get the honor of locking your thread now at 1k replies.
Less effort for me :V

I tried SoEW since everyone says it's a load of shit and I wanted to test that for myself.
Got up to Marisa with plenty of lives and bombs in stock on my first try!
Then I lost all of them to her spinny ball things. Not her bullets. Every single death was the balls. :V
-
Damn. If I got it I was going to call it the Touhou Rape Thread Part 4. Oh well.

I CANNOT PLAY THERE'S THIS DAMN FLY AND IT JUST KILLED ME THREE TIMES DIE INSECT DIE

Almost timed out Mt. Ooe on Hard.
Then I got walled at the bottom of the screen, right at the VERY last bit of Yuugi's health.
RAGE. The rest of the stage was perfect >_>
-
Just did a decent IN Normal demo run -- ended 2/0, captured Wriggle's last spell (finally!) and a couple of Keine's cards (in particular, her second one) that are usually a pain for me ..... and the replay didn't save.
Guess that's what I get for switching from Magic to Border Team, huh? *lol*
At least, in a couple weeks I'll have the full version, so I can finally play the second half of the game.
-
How silly of me to forget to put up the failed 1cc.

Enjoy the roller-coaster.

Yuyuko Lunatic, EIGHT lives. I DON'T GET THIS GAME'S MOVEMENT SYSTEM.

Made it to Suwako's last spell card for the first time and died in a double K.O

5/5 in the begining of UFO stage 5
never get out of it...
it makes me nosebleed, seriously
-
Still haven't figured out how I was able to perfect IN Hard until Marisa...
deaths to Mystia, Keine, stages... ARGH!
-
I game overed. While Flandre was exploding.
Is there some sort of universal Touhou law that dictates that every player will go through this once?
AGAIN FFS
This must be a signal that EoSD HATES ME.
-
Don't you sometime just want to destroy your X key?
- Uwabami breakers.
- Perfect run stage 3.
- Final spell, drunken vowg.
- 1 mm lif left.
- heart is beating over 180.

- Perfect run fail.

Damnitdamnitdamnit why do I keep dying on the last ring in the gigantic clusterfuck arghhhh

Perfect Fight on Normal with Shou and SanaeA.
Why am I posting this here?
BECAUSE I STILL HAVEN'T 1CCED UFO NORMAL WITH HER! F***ING FLYING FANTASIA!

How to beat UFO Lunatic:
1. First play on Easy. Byakuren argues that Youkai need protection from humans, while you take the opposite position, starting a battle over the differences in your respective belief systems.
2. Start up Lunatic and inevitably die OVER AND OVER on STAGE 1, how on earth is this game even POSSIBLE?
3. Your argument (see 1) has been proven correct! You have beaten Byakuren; also, she is still stick in the lower depths of Makai.
Congratulations- you're a great player!!
-
Well...Last night i was tryin to beat SA with a Marisa option (Marisa A Normal played that night) i can beat the game with all Reimu's but no Marisa's I got to Utsuho's Hell and Heaven Meltdown (spell with a sun on the top and bottom of the screen) and vigoriously died. I was so close and it upset me ~_~ So far i can beat any and all touhou games on Normal even UFO though i didn't finish Marisa B and Sanae A on that one yet. But i consistently suck with all Marisas in SA. so lamesauce
-
Now that I've hijacked the topic. ;D
Komachi's 10-5 in StB makes me want to abuse small animals. I want to tear my hair out whenever I get past the first five photos only to get walled on the sixth.

But yeah 10-5 was the last scene I got in StB. It's not near the hardest, but the later shots are pure hell.

There's an "I Wanna Be The Shrine Maiden" now? o_O
EDIT: Oh, it's from THAT site. Should have guessed the quality.

Why can I not play IN anymore? IN used to be by far the easiest. WHY CAN I NOT 1CC NORMAL WHAT THE CRAP
-
Over 300 attempts in. This is driving me insane. :V
-
I Wanna Be The Shrine Maiden
I stopped playing that game at the bossfight with Ran.
Seriously that fight is so fucking tedious and stupid.
She's annoying to hit and she takes like a million shots to die.
One slight positioning error and your completely fucked, sending you back a good 20 minutes sometimes.
Screw that fight. :<
-
PoFV Normal 1cc with Komachi.
I finally realized that to use her, you should charge up your lv1, let go a focus for a second to activate spirits, tap Z until you can charge another lv1, and repeat. You can even throw out lv2s with no danger to your spellpoint combo. PROFIT. Suddenly I reach 500~800k spellpoints like nothing.
Rage because Reimu refused to take a final hit for about 5 minutes on half-heart left (ITS NORMAL MODE GOD DAMMIT DIE ALREADY) until she finally killed me, and then after beating Shikieiki and having 95,000k+ score THE DAMN REPLAY DIDN'T SAVE
AUUUUGH I HATE YOU REPLAY BUG
Also tried out SWR Lunatic for the first time, got to Tenshi's final spell on the first try, and died with a 4-card super left... bleh. Reimu's scenario is way too easy with 4 alt.236 Youkai Buster cards in your deck, so I'll probably do it next time, but still...

That said, her story would probably be a cinch if I could perform her Infrared Field properly (since that makes a joke of Remilia's Bat "Vampire's Web" and Yukari's Doppler Effect).

GODDAMNIT YUMEKO GODDAMNIT
SERIOUSLY
GODDAMNIT
What pisses me off most about Yumeko is not that she's crazy hard, but that I always die from clipdeath that I thought was a clean evade. Which means I always die with bombs in stock. Usually two or more.
Also, this is aimed both at Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana AND Yumeko:
I have started to hate more than anything else attacks which fire seemingly straight lines of bullets, but the first two bullets miss and then third one clips you. Without moving. I just game overed to it on Yumeko (with two bombs lololol) and it was a good 30 tries of SFN.

Story Mode Reisen Deck
4 Mind Explosions (Default 236)
4 Infrared Field (Not sure if leveling makes it longer or not)
4 Patriot Elixir
8 anything.
With 3 Patriot Elixirs and 4 Mind Explosion cards used, using 236 twice will take out most cards. Seriously. And you still have enough cards left for a 3 casting cost spellcard.
Also, Doppler Effect is cake for Reisen since she has a continous(sp?) dash. Dash back and forth underneath Yukari/whoever and you can't get hit. Throw a 236 at Yukari when she stops firing stuff.
Oh, and a tip for activating 623 (Infrared Field). Press 6, hold 2, hold 6, hit B or C. This is how your supposed to activate the 623/421 cards apparently, because it never fails. YAY.

I don't know if I'd bother with infrared though, you can just triangle graze (66 hjc9 j44 repeat) instead for the same effect. Instead invest it on 22 or 214s

-

Cancel the dash in the middle by hitting the other direction. Do not let go of D. And you have to literally go back and forth underneath Yukari so you don't backdash (which WILL get you hit)
This is a very useful tactic on any spellcard that has no ungrazeable features, and pretty simple to learn. Also trivializes Remilia's first spellcard, for example. Not its very hard either way.
This.

Oh yes, 214 would be useful since it pierces. Makes a few spellcards easier since you don't have to get in close to lauch your 236

I ALMOST cleared PCB normal. But Youmu had to steal all my lives, FFFFFFFFFF

UFO:
Even on easy, the screen looks like confetti from everything flying around and I don't have ADD enough to get all the UFOs without smacking into a bullet. I hate this game so much but it's the only Windows one I have yet to beat so I must trek onward!
IaMP
SUIKA WHAT IS THIS CRAP
WHY DO YOU MAKE THE UI DISAPPEAR AND I CANNOT SEE HOW MUCH I CAN ATTACK YOU
I just get my HP whittled away to nothing since I can't attack most of the time, awesome!
SWR
YUKARI
TOO MANY DEATH LASER BULLETS
I don't even understand how people play this game. I've never played a fighting game where I have laser bullets and blocking reduces my HP so I can't win either.
Perhaps all of my failing can be explained by the fact I cannot do diagonal movement on my laptop, so I can't move precise enough in UFO or fire off the special attacks in the fighting games. I am this close to giving in and ordering a stupid gamepad (or will a 360 controller work?)

Was doing extra IN with magic team for the first time, and I had soooo many stupid deaths. I could totally see myself doing my best run with that team but I fucked up so much. Then I reached her last card with 1 bomb, do it just fine and there was about 5-10 seconds left of shooting till I captured it when I got hit out of nowhere, tried to deathbomb but I had only 1 bomb left and you need 2 >.<

STAGE 4 POST MIDBOSS FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
-
I could SO 1cc SA Lunatic if stages 3 and 4 didn't exist. Javelins and amulets and streaming OH MY.
-
Over 450 attempts in. This is now by a fair way the most attempts anything has taken me. :V
-
I can 1cc Imperishable Night Hard, and I can almost 1cc EoSD and MoF Hard. If it weren't for Keine and to a lesser bit Mystia, I could probably 1cc IN Lunatic.
Why can I not 1cc UFO Normal regardless of if I chain UFOs for lives or if I chain them for bombs? I want to fight Nue already. And I get less far with the bombs than I do the lives even though they're better overall.
-
The Ex-Stage Midbosses ALWAYS! ALWAYS! ALWAYS! seem to give me more trouble than Ex-Stage Bosses for some reason... .:-
-
0 SECONDS REMAINING FFFFFFFFFF

So, I'm rather sick of raging my ass off at UFO Extra. I only have SanaeA unlocked because I've barely touched UFO in the past few weeks. What shottype would you guys suggest I try to unlock Extra with? :V

Depends what's giving you trouble. Either SanaeB or ReimuA.
-

MarisA would be good too, wouldn't she? Piercing looks like it'd be useful for the stage and the UFO cards.
-
There is almost no difference between my performance on IN Normal and IN Hard.
...what.
-
MarisA would be good too, wouldn't she? Piercing looks like it'd be useful for the stage and the UFO cards.
MarisaA is probably better then ReimuA due to helping a decent bit with UFO cards and having nearly identical damage.
-
Nearly pulled of a UFO Lunatic 1cc with No Bombs.
I also tried a MoF Lunatic 1cc with No Bombs, ended up dying 6 times on Stage 3, essentially indicating me that I should probably "Alt-QQ".
I'm probably better off doing SA Lunatic with No Bombs, or maybe even LLS / MS. Wait, I already did LLS and never announced it :V
Welp. Go figure that I fail because of only "cumulative error".
-
Depends what's giving you trouble. Either SanaeB or ReimuA.
I just suck at the stage in general because 90% of it seems to be LOLRANDOM. My best performance was reaching Nue with one spare life and two bombs. I've never actually made it past her second spellcard (Red UFOs, I think?).
-
Worst.
Touhou Day.
Ever.
Clipdeath. clipdeath. clipdeath. clipdeath.
Average life expectancy on Radiant Treasure Gun H is 4 seconds.
Yuugi's Javelins kill me OVER and OVER.
Satori does that with practically EVERY attack.
URGH.

Vajra H isn't bad, but I never reach it with more than 2 power.
Captured it once with 1 power, but with lower power you need to stop under her for a bit so you risk getting hit by the laser or a bullet when you are trying to get away unfocused.
Lunatic on the other hand.... :V

Reached it only 3 times, I wasn't able to beat st5.
Mainly thanks to Aura of Justice. Seriously, it's piss easy on Hard, but the gigantic walls it throws on Lunatic makes it an auto bomb.
-

Myself included. 1/55 capture rate, woo!
I'm thinking a lot of time in Stage Practice is in order before UFO Lunatic is getting anywhere. My last attempt ended at Ichirin's final card. :V
-
Made it to Remi with one spare life and one bomb. I had doubts that I'd make it far until I almost capture Scarlet Meister (Hard, of course.) on my first try.
I start Scarlet Gensokyo with only one bomb left. First wave comes out and I get pushed to the left side of the screen while Remi goes to the right. I'm just about to make it to the middle when I notice a certain purple bubble bullet spiraling in my direction. I stop for a second to let it pass. Next thing I know, I'm yelling at the continue screen, apparently killed by the same purple bullet. I check the replay and see that I MIGHT have misjudged the size of said bubble bullet by > two pixels.
Come on Remi, couldn't you have cut me some slack? I had to get through both you AND midboss Sakuya with just one extra life. The least you could have done is excuse that one minor mistake.
-
Just lost a Reimu B LLS Hard 1cc attempt to stage 5 Yuka.
The main reason, I lost 3 lives to the stage 3 boss. Not due to suckage but the game glitched making stuff hard/impossible to see.
At least this still gives me some confidence I can do it.
-
That happens sometimes. : It's much worse when it happens on Mugetu.
-
I wish I could have more consistency in my Touhou playings... All I do is die, die, die every. Single. Day. Then I finally come upon a good day where the 1cc suddenly becomes cake. UGH.
Oh yeah, and I just failed a 1cc of MoF normal with ReimuA. Where did I die the most? The stages, with one death on Sanae by accident and two on Kanako. Like seriously wat. I thought ReimuA was supposed to make the stages easier.
-
I just 1cc IN Lunatic blind running as the Border Team.
0/0'd it, somehow clipped the start of "Hourai Jewel" (still made stupid mistakes within it but eh), captured just about every single (other?) difficult Spell Card while somehow, somehow failed just about every easy one. I guess some of the failures occured because I was trying to supergraze :V
Didn't save replay because it was just a random run. For those of you who are wondering, I died twice on Reisen in an attempt to score.
-
So I finally captured Wriggle's last spell with the magic team, and then proceed to magnificently fail the next two stages -- one capture (if that) on Mystia, and then game over on Keine's midboss card. Yeesh.
-

This only i died on the normal attack BEFORE Scarlet Meister on Hard. I was so fumed. With just one life and 3 bombs still i got that far on hard and DEAD.
I love my mistress but i sometimes hate fighting her -_-
Well to be fair i see that i die on Patchy's spells since they change depending on which option you play and and Sakuya's last 2 spells are randomly thrown knives that always manage to steal a murder from me or 2 -_-
-
After about two weeks without playing Touhou, I decided to get back on track by imitating who knows what because everyone is imitating everybody these days, and tried a no-focus, no-vertical, always-shooting capture of Rising World lunatic with solo Youmu.
150 attempts and 3 failures at "00" later, I think I'll go back to doing something else for another few weeks.
-
Arrggghhhh. Died 1/3 in to Hourai Doll on IN Extra. But definitely making some progress.
-
Ugh, my "twitch" skills are the equivalent of a 3-month player as of right now. Failed a UFO Hard 1cc without bombing (was originally aiming for the 8/8 clear). I'm able to parse the patterns as I would normally, but my movements were just... bad.
Failed another one. This time I blame:
-
I fuckin' hate Kaguya! Trying to 1cc hard with Reimu Solo. I perfect stage 1 to 3. I finally manage to do decent on Marisa. I do Reisen nicely and end up in stage 6 with 5 lives. and STILL I couldn't make it. Died on her final card at about 30 seconds left.
*sigh* guess I should do some more practice runs
-
Hourai Elixir, LAST second (00), TWICE.
EDIT: I survived EIGHT waves of Total Purification and this thing wouldn't let me capture it.
-
Somebody conf?rm this as a TAS or I'll rage. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Qb6AZFQyvE)
-
Here's a nice and easy way for me to do that. Get a replay off him first.
I can already see problems with the run from the first 10 seconds of the video.
EDIT: Screw it, I'm watching it.
Obv TAS. I can see it so clearly. Watching it more for laughs.
-
More LLS Hard. Next run has the same glitch happen.
The run after that, the glitch doesn't happen. I make it to Marisa with 6 spare lives. She kills me 3 times even though I normally kick her ass with one or two deaths at the most. Sure, I can use the fact that I had no bombs and the rank was probably high to excuse the first death, but the other 2 were just bad.
Stage 5 mostly went well, leaving me with one spare life for stage 6, so I'd have 2 spare lives for the final boss.
I die to the enemy that gives you a bomb in that stage when I still had bombs in stock, so I end up at Yuka with only one spare life. I'm extremely nervous so I panic bomb her first phase until I waste all the bombs. I lose my last life with bombs still in stock. Though I'm not sure how many more phases she had left.
-
Obv TAS. I can see it so clearly. Watching it more for laughs.
Cloudy Way in Purple, lol

That was pretty hilarious, yeah.
The whole run is full of stuff you don't do I might add :V
-
67 fps
throughout the stage (no ... haven't watched the whole thing yet), ZERO fps at 0:01.
Dunno if I should laugh or not ... I did the same with a Stage 5 Normal run a while ago but deleted it afterwards... It just doesn't feel right.
EDIT: Holy crap Bad Omen xD. This guy is even more skillful than AM :V
EDIT: Lol Superhuman.

The only time you should be TAS'ing is if you're doing crazy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01UuqBwrvdY) stunts (http://replays.gensokyou.org/index.php?u=GODrake&g=--&p=&t=--&d=--&ch=64) or research / testing / training. Not for 1cc'ing the game normally and not performing any awesome stunts :V

Ah, I should show the others.

First replay is MoF Stage 4 No Vert. Not perfect, but it's the closest you can probably get to one.
Second replay is my inspiration for MoF Extra No Vert, done much more professionally than me.

Can I TAS just to unlock practice stages ? Just wondering ... So that I'll feel less guilty when TH13 comes out. :V

Entirely up to you. Personally, I see nothing really wrong with that.
Just so you know, I was given a score.dat with UFO Lunatic unlocked for all shot types to work with about 3 weeks in. It's got "Cheat" written on all the High Scores, and some of the Spell cards appear to be intentionally timed out :V
-
I cheated my way through UFO Lunatic to unlock everything for practice mode with multiple shot types (infinite lives and +500% speed lol).
I probably wouldn't do it for unlocking an Extra stage or anything of that sort though. I wouldn't do it at all if continuing let me start with more than 2 lives, making it harder than 1cc'ing in the first place, since I'll generally have tons of lives stocked up by stage 5/6 so I can lose them all.
UFO was the only one I had any trouble with though. Unlocking MoF and SA Lunatic practice stages was fairly easy.
-
That was pretty hilarious, yeah.
The whole run is full of stuff you don't do I might add :V
I particularly liked what he tried to do with the second non-card. :V

How in the fuck? I try UFO again for the first time in a while, get a run where I get three or four deaths with wasted bombs and make it to Vajra of Perfect Buddhism. I try again with one death with wasted bombs and make it to Aura of Justice. (Okay, the last death had a wasted bomb too, but I tried going through a wall because at that point, that last bomb had much better in the ways of potential use.)
This is less a rage post and more of a "what the fuck just happened?" post.
(Maybe I should sit down and plagiarize Baity's methods since he loves this game so much research how to do this shit properly.)

It's not plagiarism if you cite sources :V
As an aside, I'm going to link my crap play "yesterday" to it being Friday the 13th. ...and it takes me until today (Saturday, 2am) to realize it was the 13th.
...
/me attempts another 1cc
Well, that was certainly interesting. Still not as good as my previous run (due to lol-mistakes), but I got incredibly lucky I guess.
Now would be a good time to sleep. Except I don't feel sleepy.
-
2 spare lives entering LLS stage 6. I die twice to the part before Yuka. Why the **** am I dying to that. Then I die again when I still have both bombs. Then I manage to perfect Yuka until the part where she first turns into the ball of light. Then I have to use my last bomb. Then I die not to the final part where I would expect to die to without bombs, but the easy part before it. I can definitely 1cc this on Hard, but I need to quit messing up.
-
Welp, I suck pretty badly at UFO, it seems. Haven't gotten past Stage 3 in a proper run yet due to suddenly losing all ability to deathbomb. :V Although I got the hang of the pre-boss Ichirin bullet spam, so there's that.

lol, spellcard history.
lol everything, but I just noticed the spellcard history a few seconds ago. :V
-
So. I spellcapped Eirin's final spellcard (hourai Elixir? I forget) on lunatic. I know that you can fly thru bosses as they are exploding, and wanted to get the points in time.. So I fly up thru Eirin to get the points, and then thru Kag*BANG*....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo
Spellcard Failed.
-
67 fps throughout the stage (no ... haven't watched the whole thing yet), ZERO fps at 0:01.
Dunno if I should laugh or not ... I did the same with a Stage 5 Normal run a while ago but deleted it afterwards... It just doesn't feel right.
EDIT: Holy crap Bad Omen xD. This guy is even more skillful than AM :V
EDIT: Lol Superhuman.
Wonder if I should just comment there and laugh at him.
Forget Cloud Way and Superhuman, just look at the non-spell AFTER cloud way.

I hate UFO Stage 3
I go through at LEAST five bombs.
And that's an absolute minimum, IF I'm lucky

Shikieiki's 10-4 and 10-8 are the only two scenes I have left in Shoot the Bullet.
If Shikieiki wasn't my favourite character, I would really hate her right about now. I am starting to think that my horrible horrible deaths to her are Shikieiki's revenge for my falling in love with a certain strawberry goddess instead of remaining loyal only to her.

The worst part? I MADE you a replay LAST NIGHT showing you how to deal with 10-4. :<

Yesterday I went to class and took my notebook with me
There I did my first 1cc of IN Hard.
I got home late, watched a movie with my wife.. This morning I turned on the notebook to get the replay to upload.
I didn't save it...
The game in the notebook is in japanese, I never really played there, did I really not see the option to save replay? ._.
I don't want to have to do this again :(
-
Just failed a UFO Normal 1cc. I'm sick of SanaeA not being able to do shit to Nue's Red UFOs card, so I tried unlocking it with MarisaA. Everything was going smoothly, maybe two deaths occurred because of my own error.
The rest of the deaths occurred because my keyboard decided LOL LET'S SEND MARISA FLYING IN A RANDOM DIRECTION FOR NO FUCKING REASON.
I had to remap my keys to I-J-K-L and every so often, one of them will apparently stick and make the character move nonstop in that direction until I press the button again. This only happens after extending periods of playing.
Y'know, by the time I'm around Stage 5 and 6, where losing control for a second usually means death :V

I didn't notice anything before Byakuren. Wasn't looking actually. But Purple Rape Cloud showed those robotic babystep movements that are quite characteristic about cheater replays. And the way he captured it and with a 0/1 capture rate makes it even more obvious.
Should i assault him then... hmm... *Searches the deeper reaches of my mind for the "towards-riskbreaker-vocabulary*

But yeah he is cheating. Call him out on it.

Geez, it's like impossible to tell the real people from the fakers now. :( To be fair though, the guy says in his description that his laptop slows down a lot, so at least he's honest.
Really though, why are fake runs of UFO lunatic so popular? There's always been cheaters, but the amount for this game are off the charts.

I just realized how far I am from Hard mode 1ccs... Since when playing EoSD Normal just now, I had to struggle to get the 1cc and finished on my last life >_< Although... I think that's because I'm allergic to stage 5 for some reason <_<; Last couple tries, I reached it with almost no problems, then suddenly started dying at a ridiculous rate upon reaching midboss Sakuya.
-
I just lost a UFO Normal run. A scoring run mind you. Meaning less lives. That is just so darn frustrating. It hurts my pride to fail a Touhou game at something like Normal! Why can't the game just have a scoring system that doesn't makes lives the trade-off for points? Its ridiculous. I want to have decent scores simply because 300M isn't good enough. I have gotten it up to around 600M though which i guess is nice enough.
Oh well... Note to self: *UFO game only fun in practice. Not fun in run. Not consistent. Not my cup of tea. Let the others make the awesome replays... oh wait, that's not happening yet. Why not? Maybe there is a good reason... Where is Veronica when i need her? She absolutely destroyed SA...*
*Because people like UFO (with notable exceptions)
Hmmm?

I can't even consistently 1cc EoSD Normal or even most of the Normals though there are a few I can consistently do, yet I've 1cc'd Hard or almost 1cc'd Hard on them.

Eh, that UFO TAS that everyone's up in arms about doesn't really seem anything special. The ones that Scalgon and Riskbreaker posted here were far worse.
The best (meaning most entertaining) example of TAS cheating I've seen on youtube is definitely this one. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TJHxmuDBtU) I intended to call him out but I decided not to because the video made me laugh. :D

BROFISTS

EVERYWHERE
God damn I agree. I'm on hard... King Kraken Strike is bullcrap, I don't think I -could- capture Hook Combo through Heaven and Hell because I'm full-forward MarisaA and I can't spend much time in the center of the screen at all (That and it is SO easy to fuck that one up)... oh, and, of course, the last non-spell can go die. It wouldn't be so bad, but the second burst doesn't line up with the first and ARGH.
At least I can do most other stuff decently.
The eyebeams can go die though for always being RIGHT in my retreat line DX
-
...I think I must hold the world record for "most stupid deaths on stage 5 of EoSD" ._.
My record is somewhere around 5.
Also as a somewhat related note, I game-over'd on Scarlet Gensokyo again. Major rage followed because I could have had an extra life if I hadn't gotten cocky on Scarlet Meister and tried to capture it.
-
scarlet meister is a 1 bomb card if you bomb it on the first wave then shotgun remilia.
i'll never try to capture it again during a 1cc run :(
-
...One death between the first three stages. Game over on Patchy's second nonspell.
WHAT.
-
oh christ that would explain it

Ah, sorry, I made a mistake. I was confusing his replay with this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_MMSL4kejE). Sorry D:
Looks like it actually is his replay then, even though it is obviously TAS'd.
-
I... I would have captured Scarlet Shoot again if I hadn't suddenly panic-bombed x.x And just ONE screw up on Scarlet Gensokyo as well...
Meh, at least I go the 1cc, and I did capture her second spell. And Sakuya's final~
-
"Yes! Stage 6 with 4 lives! Ooh, I can even clear the spam at the start of the stage too since I have 122 power!. Oh man, this is great."
*Midboss Sakuya Opener*
"You know what? I don't feel like wasting a bomb he-" *death*
"Crap, died with bombs in stock. Probably need to bomb Eternal Mee-" *deathsound.wav*
Then I game-over at Scarlet Meister with no bombs or lives.
What.
-
Someone in the accomplishments thread said it took them like 90 tries to capture Complete Clarification, so I decided to take the opportunity to try and time it out. I got to two seconds and...you'll never guess what killed me.
THE LASERS. DAMN IT.
Also that scoring method of spinning around inside the lasers of Syou's third non-spell is much easier than it should be. :(
-
So, in a fit of insanity, I decided to try MoF Hard. WHAT THE HELL AYA?! No, the problem isn't the patterns, I expected those to be ridiculous. The problem is that on one of her nonspells, A BULLET KILLED ME WITHOUT EVEN TOUCHING MY HITBOX! That's right, those bullets that have a nice little ring of empty sprite around the hitbox? Apparently those now have hitboxes TWICE THE SIZE OF THE SPRITE!

Stage 4 tends to desync, at least it does for me any time I try to watch it in a replay.
I also used to get knife'd by trying to go to the PoC, took me a few tries before I learned not to do it.
Stage 5 Sakuya midboss, I always ****ing clipdeath her noncard.

Attempting to make a deck for Alice in UNL that's functional for the purposes I want.

Sadly, no, I don't have a replay. Probably should have saved it... Oh well.
Anyway, on to more rage... WHAT THE FREAKING HELL SHIKI?! I reach her with three lives and game over... Depressingly, this would be normal if it weren't for one little detail... I GOT AN EXTEND DURING THE BATTLE! Seriously... Can't she just stick with the dodgehax for the first three lives and commit suicide like a good little girl on the fourth instead of sending WALLS at me?! ARGH!!!

Who are you playing as?

Who are you playing as?
Yuka.

Yuka.
Bah, I was expecting you to say Lyrica, Komachi, Mystia, Reisen, or someone similar, in which case I was going to say "It's your character's fault, use Reimu and watch her fall", but Yuka's not too bad against the AI.
All I can say is "Best of luck", then. :V
-
Another bit of advice, stop shooting every so often. The less you shoot, the less bullets are on your field, meaning less stuff for Shiki's EX Attacks to convert into solid walls :V
-

This, though it doesn't work too well if you're using the control setup that puts focus and shoot on the same key.

For story mode, Mystia is top tier and Yuka is questionable. You don't want offensive capacity, since it's pointless; you want survivability, which comes from bullet-clearing (both are excellent) and, in particular against Shikieiki, speed. And Yuka's speed is horrible. And therefore Yuka gets walled all the time.

This only works reliably until Lily first shows up. And then you're probably at a gauge disavantage as well.

Yuka's flower walls work amazingly well for walling in the AI. No matter how broken Shiki likes to be when it comes to dodging, she can't possibly dodge a solid flower wall without bombing, which can mean the end of that last half orb.
And speed is hardly as big a deal as you seem to make it out to be. If this computer could handle it, I'd go fight Lunatic Aya in match play with Yuka right now to prove it, too.
-

This works... once in a blue moon. Yuka's "solid" walls aren't really that solid. You can get the "Icicle effect" with two coming at the same time and at the same speed next to each other exactly on top of the AI's hitbox, but I wouldn't count on it - I still prefer to not care about what's happening on the other side of the screen and just hang on for just over three minutes which is how much non-first-round story mode lunatic Shiki usually lasts against a character that doesn't throw any AI-breakers at her at the exact right time.
Yuka can (as Reimu will) eventually give you a quick win, but can you say it's something you can count on happening? No, you can't, and advice like this only adds up the frustration because it further adds luck as an element, and when you devise a luck-based strategy, people start to expect possible but very unlikely things to happen all the time, and then everyone starts to bitch about how the game is unfair because Reimu's balls are supposed to obliterate Shiki and it didn't happen, etc etc etc.
The only thing you can count on to an extent is the magical three-minute mark (that's the timer for lunatic, I don't remember how long it takes on lower difficulties - probably more since there's a lot less bullets for the AI to ram into as well) - and even that can go down the drain if you take the "stop shooting" route, though I haven't tested it extensively yet because it's another unreliable tactic which just further adds variation. It's "good" if you're trying to punch above your weight; it's bad if you want reliability.
And speed is hardly as big a deal as you seem to make it out to be. If this computer could handle it, I'd go fight Lunatic Aya in match play with Yuka right now to prove it, too.
Most of Aya's attacks are streamable. She's one of the easiest characters to survive against, even if she's very likely to get you once in story mode anyway because she'll survive long as well in the first round. A "regular" good PoFV run will see one death each at stages 6, 7 and 8 with any character, and be decided at how well the character you're playing with deals with Shikieiki. No one is complaining about Aya taking all of their lives.
Picture this: I tried 1cc'ing lunatic with Yuka for a long time, often failing after arriving at Shiki with four spare lives; then I tried Reimu for a while, and got my 1cc with much difficulty, and still can't do it reliably enough to expect to win every time I try; but I can 1cc lunatic about 80% of the time (if not more) with Mystia, Cirno or Marisa, who are the fastest non-broken characters.
tl;dr; didn't proofread as well, colonvee
/rant
-
No one is complaining about Aya taking all of their lives.
...well, someone's been ignoring my posts on PoFV...
Seriously. Streaming is fine, but when the streaming runs into masses of bullets there's not much you can do.
-
lol it's the guy with the ufo lunatic "1cc"
cool fps bro
Lol dude disabled ratings and comments :V
Ah, sorry, I made a mistake. I was confusing his replay with this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_MMSL4kejE). Sorry D:
Looks like it actually is his replay then, even though it is obviously TAS'd.
But the FPS remained at 60.
The FPS is 60 even when you slowdown the game. I have done this many times myself.
So far I've only seen this in GODrake runs D:
Also that scoring method of spinning around inside the lasers of Syou's third non-spell is much easier than it should be. :(
Still fairly risky because she rams into you upon activating LAZORS :V
-
I was playing Remi's theme on the keyboard/piano when it died all of a sudden. I don't know whether or not I should be mad the fact that I can't even play her theme without having something bad happen halfway through it.
The strange part is that my batteries were just fine before I started playing.
-
Fucking hate MoF hard. ALL my deaths are bad luck, not a single one because I lack skills. After 10 tries I finally manage not to die to stupidness in stage 1.
First death: Hina's midboss spellcard, I go inbetween a gap, spot incoming bullets and bomb but no bomb went off. great.
Second death: Went up the PoC, moved sideways and down the middle, only to be met by a spawning fairy and get clipdeathed...
Third death: Stage 3 fairy spawns bullets in my face.
Fourth death: Nitori's last card, I capture it and when there is the miniscule bar of health left (about the wideness of the letter 'l') I get walled in by the lasers and one came straight at me >.<
Then came stage 4: Death by fairies spawning bullets next to me, those big fairies spawning small shit everywhere. Reached aya with 1 life, die pretty much instantly, then die again on her first card....
-
I actually die in stage 1 a lot also, to the boss. Most of my MoF Hard runs end there when I clipdeath on one of the spells. If I make it past there, I usually clipdeath something on stage 2 and restart. Then I either mess up on stage 3 and restart or get all the way to 6 where I either make it to Virtue of Wind God then fail or just fail horribly.
Unlocked level 8 of Shoot the Bullet Earlier after getting up to 35 scenes cleared. I'm now at 37 so I can either capture one more from level 8 to unlock level 9 or capture 3 more. I keep ****ing clipdeathing to one of the cards when I have 9/10 of the necessary pictures.
-
MoF Hard...
...Is it just me or does MoF really -not- give you a lot of lives? Not that you need many with so many bombs, but seriously.
-
MoF Hard...
...Is it just me or does MoF really -not- give you a lot of lives? Not that you need many with so many bombs, but seriously.
I think it's quite on par. But in TH 6-8 you can add additional lives from the options menu. Where as in MoF you'll be needing to collect all point and faith items, above the PoC if possible or you'll miss out on lives. (and most of my deaths come from being near the PoC).
-
in EoSD you can 1cc with 8 deaths, PCB you can 1cc with 10, IN you can 1cc with 9, MoF 8 again.
No idea about SA and UFO, probably 10+
-
Meh, was doing fine on MoF hard. Got hit on the 2nd to last spell with no lives left (plenty of power), cause I thought the bullet's hitbox was smaller. Could have totally made it if it wasn't for: A. Stupid death in stage 3. B. 2 deaths on Sanae's midboss opener (two?!? how can you die TWICE?!)
-
UFO Normal, 11 stage 1 restarts due to running into about everything imaginable before the midboss. One other attempt gets as far as Kogasa before two deaths on Rainy Night's Ghost Story. -.-
-
I can usually consistently capture most stage 2 boss cards on Normal except for that one. My strategy for it: Master Spark. It's better for me to waste a bomb than to die to it.
-
How the CRAP did I screw up EVERY SINGLE ONE of Marisa's attacks except Shoot the Moon?
How the BLOODY HELL did I run into THREE FAIRIES on Stage 5?
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS
-
UFO Hard
WTF is wrong with Ichirin! ARGGHHHH
-
JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE FUCK I HATE SA STAGE 1
I can't stand doing it over and over again just to die to some fairy or the boss or whatever!
-
Most of Level 5, Level 7, most of Level 8, and Level 9 in Shoot the Bullet are complete BS.
The game either shoots solid walls at you often or makes it near impossible to get close enough to take a picture of the boss. Or the game throws lots of danmaku that is hard to dodge and it takes way too long to charge the camera.
-
find it, then we can rag on him for stealing a cheated replay, claiming it was his and it being TASed dishonestly as well
Uh, check the High Score. That's one way to determine if you're watching somebody else's replays. If they're closely aligned, then it most probably means that it's their replay.
So I was away for one day, and you guys RAGE'd in my position for me. How nice.
-
My first time getting past Stage 3 in UFO Lunatic - I was doing pretty well, and entered Stage 5 with two lives to spare. I then manage to die three times in under a minute. Goddamnit. :V
-
Seriously wtf.
I tried 4 times and I can never reach Orin with more than one life! :(
Parsee is overrated, but Yuugi is HELL :/
Stage 2 is easier than stage 1, Stage 4 is easier than stage 3. I can pull a perfect St3/ 1 death Satori, but I really mess up on Yuugi
-

Because I'm using different shot types? I'm not inclined to do it with the other games, but IN is pretty fun to mess around.
But yeah, I should really 1cc PCB (Yuyuko's third noncard), PoFV (Shiki with three lives and 5m to the fourth) or MS (Devil's OHMYGODage) already...
-
I hate myself. I either bomb too little or I panic bomb too much. I can't find the balance. Plus on the most recent EoSD run I had, I died so many times with bombs in stock it's not even funny. Screw you Sakuya.
-
I don't see how people find Ichirin on hard to be all that. She's easily the easiest stage 3 boss on hard- I can frequently 1-bomb her.
On topic: SA's extra stage needs to stop killing me.

I think I've no death'd her on my 1cc. Not sure and can't check atm.
Still, most of her cards make me rage.
I can figure out most other patterns, but I just see no way out of these, just like out of Shou's nonspells.....but this is stage 3, not 5....this shouldn't be happening.
-
It's like real life....you won't learn anything new if you keep playing on lower difficulties, nor will your danmaku skill improve.
This is why even I make the occasional venture into lunatic (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5975). It's even rage-worthy for the lolfail on Gold Detector.

I didn't capture hourai elixir.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
FOUR DEATHS AGAINST MIMA IN PoDD LUNATIC
I don't think I've raged at a character as much as I did just now.
-
Hey! I 1cced PCB Hard, I should get around to seeing Marisa's ending on Normal!
*walks into a bullet on Benevolent French Dolls*
*dies twice on Youmu's midboss noncard*
*dies to Human Sword*
...maybe not.
-
...Okay, I think something's wrong with me. I'm bored as hell, but when I think about trying to 1cc SA Normal, I don't want to... I don't wanna try UFO or PoFV again either, and anything else just almost feels like it would be pointless...
What happened to me? I used to be able to have tons of fun playing Touhou, but now, everything just feels either pointless or painful x.x
-
That's perfectly normal. You get frustrated to the point of not being motivated enough to play. It happens to me a lot. At that point, I normally swap games for a while, or have fun testing myself.
Anyway...
Why the hell did I die there? And there? And there? I could've 1cc'd goddammit (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5979).

BAITY
YOU MUST RECORD YOURSELF BEATING SOEW EXTRA
BECAUSE
GODDAMNIT
I JUST BLEW AN HOUR AND A HALF OF MY EARLY-MORNING-SHOULD-BE-SLEEPING LIFE and I got to EES three times. 4/0, 3/1, 3/1, all full power.
I have a strategy that gets me there 3/1 and full power fairly consistently (hint: it involves dying on the fairies at the beginning. Twice.) but I keep clipping EVERYTHING AND HIS MOTHER because it's SoEW. Once there, though...I usually screw up both parts of the first phase, I screw up part 1 of the second but can do the second half, Flaw of Unforgiving Tank is complete CRAP (I've managed to make a single back-and-forth dodge ONCE), and I just can't react fast enough to the parts after that.

Because, yes, it's another case - and a very EXTREME case - of "I know how to do it, I'm just not good enough". I was afraid of that.

Then again, it might be because I actually practice(d) NF runs a lot, so I'm used to the "harsh" mechanics (at the time).
-
Then again, it might be because I actually practice(d) NF runs a lot, so I'm used to the "harsh" mechanics (at the time).
It's not the lack of focus that screws with me, it's the hitboxes, deathbomb, and LACK OF BOMBS. That's what really hurts. Thus the strategy; it's the only way I can reach EES with full power. Otherwise, I die on the green blobs, still have to bomb them, and die again to the circles of doom at the end.
-
I never thought this would happen to me... I failed QED as Flan was exploding !!
-
Did a VS with a friend in PoFV.
I was Reisen and he was Marisa, but I can't blame the character on my screw-ups... Lag reduced us to ~12 FPS and yet I somehow managed to emberass myself considering how fast I died. >.<
-
After taking the time off to study LLS, I finally find a way to parse Max Rank Kurumi's "Rings of Death" so that I can survive it without dying. Brb, water.
-
Yeah, the first time I've started Lunatic just to clear it for practice, it looked like a complete overkill.
And Yamame's final card is completely batshit IMO :V
Its pretty fun Banana.
-
LLS Elly Spoiler:
The tiles are collectible. No really, use a bomb and run over them. They can be either Point Items or Power items, and they will add to your counter / meter. Alternatively, you can just ram into them. They have a hitbox obviously so do that at your own risk
.
I decided to maximize my Bullet Clear Bonus on Elly's "secret" mini-phase and all I get...
(http://i80.servimg.com/u/f80/12/80/32/92/th/untitl57.png) (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=342&u=12803292)
...is that much. Keep in mind that Kurumi gives about 2 million (the density remaints pretty consistent), and Orange can easily give you about 3 million if you're patient enough. Ending Elly just about anywhere else will give you only around 500k to 1 million.
-
So the two hardest parts in a SA Hard run for me are Yuugi and Orin.
Yuugi really shouldn't be that hard... :(
-
SA Lunatic.
Get to the end of Stage 3 with SEVEN LIVES.
Lose TWO LIVES in STUPID WAYS to MIDBOSS ORIN in stage 5.
Game over at Blazing Wheel.
FORGET TO SAVE THE REPLAY.

...Welp, I just opened up UFO to find that my score.dat has been wiped. I suspect the retarded antivirus that my dad decided it would be a good idea to install deleted it; it's tried to get rid of SWR before. <_<; Anyway, anyone mind letting me use theirs? I don't feel like having to 1cc the game with all shot types over again.
Interesting side note: when launching the game, the main menu had... changed somewhat.
-
MURASAAAAAA
So I finally beat Ichirin on Hard decently - went in at six lives, came out with five (Only died at the very end of Calamity Scolding Scorch, and captured Hook Combo through Heaven and Hell finally! Mostly due to getting to it at 4 power for once @_@).
Reached Murasa at four lives, due to getting tackled by a goddamn fairy on Midboss Nue _AGAIN_ (and proceeding to herpderp right into a bullet almost immediately after), and proceeded to lose em all - two to Sinkable Vortex, one to Ghost Ship's Harbor (MarisaA's blindspot does NOT HELP HERE), and a double derp on Dipper Creeping Close.
Sigh.

1CC'd IN normal..... with 1 death on stage 4, otherwise perfect ._." Oh but then I met Kaguya... freaking 4 deaths on her >.< grrrrrrr

*insert incoherant rant about SA Lunatic and how much I hate Satori here*
-
Jesus Christ. Is it just me, or is Gold Detector Lunatic the most ridiculous card ever to be in Stage 1? My history is less than a third captures. Is there some kind of trick I'm missing here? Because it seems very wrong that I should have a worse history on a Stage 1 card than most Stage 6 cards across the series. :V

Memorize it.
-
Gold Detector got easier for me when I realized that while the bullets themselves aren't static (or if they are, I'm really not paying attention), Nazrin's motion is a static pattern that I can follow to maximize my damage output and minimize the length of the card. (Move left, right, middle, right, left, middle. Card should be killed under Reimu B's power at this point, probably sooner with anyone else.) Other than that, mind the lasers and don't get walled. It's not -that- bad, but it's definitely not your typical trivial S1 "Night Bird"/"Lingering Cold"/"Firefly Phenomenon" spell card. Guard Pendulum bothers me more, if only because the card lasts forever due to Nazrin's cheap little shields.
-
Not static, but close enough to it. The bullets are pretty small so you should be able to make quick wall jumps without much difficulty. The lasers are definitely static though.
"Guard Pendulum" is frustrating when swapping from a Reimu Shot Type to a Non-MarisaA / SanaeB Shot Type. Just so you know, I have something like a 17/35 with MarisaB.
And I just accidentally focused to grab a Star Fragment by reflex.

Aha, the movement thing works like a charm. Thanks!
Further rage at UFO Lunatic. I hate the need to go chasing down UFOs; I have never experienced SO MANY CLIPDEATHS over such a short space of time. Also, I have for some reason lost the ability to do Kogasa's last non-card. :V

Farthest I've gotten with default lives on IN Lunatic: Marisa
I try it with the lives maxed to unlock FinalB for practice. Game over on Marisa.
-
Ellen and Rikako... Are absolutely terrifying @_@
EDIT: Oh god WHAT. I just got all the way through the first six stages without dying (and Ellen was on stage 6 too) then suddenly, I game overed by dying FOUR TIMES to Mima. This was Hard mode by the way...

Smacked by Elly's "secret" mini-phase due to bad timing on my part upon trying to perfect Stage 3. The mini-phase kicked up within 4 seconds of entering the Final Phase.

Not that there is any benefit for me if you get it.
Those stupid caving walls aren't giving me any nice gaps thanks to lol-random boss movement.
Also, you can't perfect Kurumi consistently.
-
I don't want to try and perfect Kurumi consistently. When there's no stage practice it's not worth risking it in a 1cc attempt. Besides, have YOU perfected Kurumi and Elly consecutively? 8)
And I'm not backing out, I'm just stalling. ;>_>

So I finally picked up SWR and UNL, and I found out one thing that piss the fuck out of me.
In SWR, the WORST thing that can happen to you is when you get knocked down, and you get up with no invisibility period. I insta-FAILED Iku's lightning barrier spell, just cause I slipped once, all 3 lives, just like that, GONE.

Getting raped for 2 lives by Tenshi's final on Easy. Fun.

Protip: Press V to graze (or whatever it's mapped to). SWR is much more lenient than IaMP in this respect anyway. If Suika hits you with Supermassive Conflageration you may as well just restart.

See, I'm so used to you figuring things out long before me that I'm not even mad. Yes, that. Doesn't change the fact that it's a freaking claustrophobic card of the worst kind.

Card. Har. Ignoring that minor slip, yes it does get quite claustrophobic at times, but only when Aya moves down the screen too much. Pseudo-static nonsense. You should only need to get through 2-3 of them before it's over though.
Screw it, I'm bombing the LLS Stage 4 Mid-Bosses. My "method" only works for Non-Max Rank. And I am *not* going to suicide with 6 bombs in stock to lower Rank.

Double Post.
Hardest Touhou Boss Period: LLS Reimu at Max Rank. No exceptions now that I've actually experienced it. This is going to take a while to perfect :|
I don't hate her or anything, it's just overwhelming. But, I guess that's to be expected from our Shrine Maiden.

EDIT 2: Timing down the Final Phase produces nothing. Perhaps it would be safe to assume that the Timeout Phases are Extra exclusive, save for Elly's alteration phase?
EDIT 3: Alright, I'm learning a lot now about how each of the attacks works.
EDIT 4: Right that should do it. ND2B Stage 4 run coming up... tomorrow.

More Murasa headaches: Got a semi-decent run going , 3/3 into Murasa. Clip the opener twice, somehow capture her first card, then game over on her second NC.
-
I just played MS Extra. Figured out a nice way to consistently tackling the opener. Then i proceed to realize that she is a very poor extra boss. Those attacks that aren't very easy are either only difficult because of the graphics or the lack of a visible hit-box.
I do know more-or-less where the hit-box is but for micro-dodging the second-to-last spell its just not enough. Its one of those patterns that would be easy if i just had this big bright white dot indicating my collision zone. I can't stand patterns that feels like they would be easy if you had the right features but isn't because of out-datedness.
I'm not going to blame the game for it though. I know its old so its understandable that it doesn't have all the awesome features of later games so i'm letting it off.
Still, i gotta get out some RAGE!!!
The last spell is also atrocious! I don't even think it would be that bad if it suddenly showed up in a Windows era game where the graphics don't suck. That background sure don't help either.

Capsizing Anchor is easy as hell to do unless you're at 1 power, once you know to divert the anchor.
Ghost Ship's Harbor and Sinkable Vortex, however, have far more health and it can be far harder to keep under Murasa if the game hates you.
Anyway, I won't be able to get online for a day or two as I'm about to move. As a result,
Raging in advance
I expect the following problems:
1. Ichirin will still drive me nuts with boss spells
2. Anchor to the face
3. Fairytackle during stage 4 Midboss
4. A startling lack of Shou rage
5. EXTREME STAGE 5 RAGE
6. To not 1cc Hard by the time I return, but only due to getting nailed in the face by LFO
-
Note to self:
Don't panic bomb when your trying to do a no bombs 1cc. :V
-
Capsizing Anchor is easy as hell to do unless you're at 1 power, once you know to divert the anchor.
It's easy to do, I just don't think to capitalize on the time before the water bullets expand outwards to deal damage, and thus end up never hitting her unless I'm using a spread type :V
-
SoEW Extra stage is horrible. The best I can get to the boss with is 0/3. That gets me to its second phase.
How are you supposed to actually survive this evil stage? I want to clear it so that I never have to play it again and so I'll have all PC98 extras cleared.
On the subject of SoEW as well, I'm obviously skipping Hard since Lunatic is the same with one difference, but how do you effectively deal with that difference? If you try to minimize kills, you get less points and therefore less lives, plus enemies are likely to run into you, but if you kill alot you get owned by the death bullets. It's pretty much a case of being damned if you do and damned if you don't.
-
It's actually quite simple: Stream. Enemies shooting at you upon death actually only changes one part of the game substantially, and it's the bouncy ball spam in stage 3. It's much worse in a game that is actually hard like Donpachi (which is, believe it or not, even worse than SoEW).

Fwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaa
I can laugh because I beat it yesterday. Otherwise I'd be raging right along with you.
OK. First part: stream. Then, aimed streams. Then, enemies from the side; lure them into the middle and kill them. Then stand in the bottom corner (either one) and shoot the turret thingies (grab the point items; getting the 8million extend is very difficult). Then stand in the very bottom right corner to avoid the floor tiles of doom. Move over a little off center to the left and hammer your shot key like a deranged monkey, you should be able to get two or three big power items. Move up a bit between the star waves (helps if you wait for them to get down to the bottom so you can be precise, but not all the way). Then I recommend bombing; I've only once been able to dodge all of the orbs shooting at me. After that comes free points, get lots of them and don't ram bullets or birds. The next part is free power, just don't move. All shots are aimed around you. The come the blasted blobs; I've successfully done that part without dying or bombing all of three times, so good luck with that - it's just dodging. After that is more eyes from the sides; I recommend starting towards the bottom left so your shot picks off the first one or two from the left side, then circle up and around and kill them off. More free power. Then the circles; the only way I can see to do it is to start in the upper right and move left and down some, but I've never done it, so I hope you have a bomb.
Yes, I wrote that without stopping. God DAMN it, I ground that stage so freakin' hard.
That should get you to Evil Eye Sigma at LEAST 3/1. With some luck, 4/0 or 4/1. I beat it getting there 5/0, full power. That was also the only time I've ever gotten the 8 million point extend, which gave me the bomb I needed for the circles.
-
Just need to make it to 6,000,000 for the next extend.
Crap, there's not an extend at 6,000,000 like I remembered there being. *loses last life with one bomb in stock at the unforgiving balls phase that inspired Flaw of Forgiving Shrine*
I just don't see myself ever making it to the 8,000,000. I barely make it to the boss at over 5,000,000 most of the time. It'd be nice if I could actually be full power at the start of the fight, but I never have a bomb for the circles, but I'd probably lose the full power on the second phase, and if not that the balls.
-
You do know that you are just supposed to redirect that anchor right and that its one of the easiest stage 4 cards ever? Or is it just me?
No, you're exactly right. The amazement came from the fact that I capped it after the two opener clips (where I would ordinarily lose all focus and do something completely stupid, like ram straight into a bullet).

I realized today that the jump in difficulty from Easy to Normal is pretty steep. I can 1cc PCB Easy, but can't even clear stage 4 in Normal. ;_; Just makes me feel like I totally suck, and need a lot of practice and watch more replays.

So I'd try MoF Normal before PCB =)

So I decided I was going to try MoF Hard and went to practice Kanako. I downloaded bjw's no-bombs replay and went to fight. I bombed/died on every single attack, but I got to VoWG! I was dodging, focusing intently on everything, coming so close to a capture.
Suddenly, a wave of blue and red comes at me at the same time! As hard as I tried, I couldn't see a way out of it and bombed...!
...after both waves opened up and passed harmlessly through me. Wasted a first-try capture of VoWG Hard. :V

Then I got Rapture banged, those beams just kept going... going... going... I can't guard since I will get stuck, get guard smashed, get hit again and die.
Advice please. (I am playing on Normal btw, no eiji mode for me.)
-
i think... *starts to run* they are ugly *hides*
Graphically speaking, yes, they're inferior. Musically, they're top-notch, and the gameplay (excluding the first two) is as good as ever (possibly better than some, I'm looking at you, UFO).
-
UFO is pretty fun, guy.
LLS and MS are also pretty fun. Generally speaking, LLS' difficulty is one lower then what it says; LLS Easy=IN Easy, LLS Normal=Easy, LLS Hard=Normal, but LLS Lunatic=Lunatic.
-
I will admit LLS and MS are both still fun, but their age really shows compared to newer games...

Misdirect the big lasers by jumping then flying back down, going to the other side of her, and repeating. If you get stuck and can't graze, guard it and Border Escape ASAP.

Aggagagagag. I just recorded a LLS lunatic 1cc. It had a lot of problems (two deaths can be attributed to being blindsided during easy aimed attacks), and in the end it was with six deaths, but it was still a run. Then I watched it and realized that I forgot to change the recording window ratio back to whatever it was before I messed with it to attempt recording Dodonpachi (doesn't work BTW). Because of this, the video is not centered and is in the upper left corner.
...
. . .
Whatever, I can do better than this run anyway. In the mean time, anyone know the correct recording window ratio to set it to? :(

Dimensions for the PC-98 windows are 640x400. Always do test recordings before doing actual recordings.
While on the topic of PC-98 I've been trying for about an hour now to perfect 2 Bomb Clear LLS Stage 4. Most of the runs were botched because of recording slowdown, which only lasts for one second, and then plays normally again.
I could probably put it down to a 1 Bomb Clear if I time the Extend! properly
.
-
Figured it out on my own, but thanks. Speaking of "test recordings," I discovered something very unnerving. A short failed run that died on stage 1 before the one I recorded (Orange's hell portion of her second phase is particularly dangerous for Reimu A) didn't get recorded due to some error. This same error happened when I was recording my SWR lunatic run (I had to go through the replay 3 times to rerecord parts that were messed up). It appears to be completely arbitrary, random, and beyond my control. To top it off, you obviously can't do test recordings to make sure the recording you have now isn't corrupted.
But now, proper rage! To test my dimensions, I did LLS extra. I perfected the stage portion (despite the fact that I REALLY should have died a few times), things went normally against Mugetu (that is, bad), but...I died in the most ridiculous way possible: On the beginning of her second phase where she spits ineffectual bullets at you. Then...the rage happened.
I beat Gengetu one death no bombs. You wanna know where that death was? Her third phase. In a completely idiotic maneuver I made. The rest was damn impressive but these two deaths really make me hesitate to keep this run (though if nothing else I'll keep the perfect stage run for instructional purposes). If I hadn't made those two ridiculous mistakes, I would have beaten this NO DEATHS. D:
-

All of my No Death runs (4 and counting) were denied during the Final Phase. That might be because I use the "scoring" bomb though, which trivializes most of the Extra Stage through Extend! timing shenanigans.
:| :| :|

What the hell just happened?
I died three times to Mugetu's last attack?
Three?
EDIT: A couple cruddy tries later, I finish off Gengetu. With one awesome Extend for a clear, I captured her final pha--

Look at it this way. At least you didn't die to Kagome-Kagome :P I can't even 1cc any Hard mode besides LLS and I can do that one consistently. Four of a Kind is still not that tough, but not nearly as easy as that...
-
Except that Kagome Kagome occasionally walls you.
So a second LLS lunatic 1cc went sour. Marisa killed me twice, and the rest went downhill from there. I eagerly await Baity save scumming stage 5 so perhaps we can finally learn how to dodge Yuka's freaking last phase.
This run wasn't a total waste though, because I think I finally caught a glimpse of how to do criss-crossing yellow bullets in Yuka's first phase: If you duck into a corner, the bullets leave a clear and distinct opening. I was too trigger happy (even though the run was definitely not the one I'm going to upload) to try it however.
Wait, when did I get serious about making a Youtube-quality run? I thought I was saving this until the English patch is released. D:

Context?
Yuka's Final Phase (Stage 5).
The attachment should be proof enough that I did it. I start Stage 5 9/7 and use 1 bomb on the Rings. Bomb Extend! is added, so no net gain.
-
Why don't you just save-scum her final phase? Surely there's a simply trick like Mima's star attack that is just really unobvious...there's gotta be. :<
-
I did.
The thing is, I want to be able to record from the start of Stage 5 to the end and have it like that :<
The attack is 100% static, and Rank-dependent. The only way you can get through is if you jump through the little gap between the walls.
You know what? I think I'll try timing it out with recording. That'll be awesome.
-
Which gaps? You mean...the gaps in the walls themselves? D=
FFFFFFFFFFFFFF
-
These ones. Note that they're moving and have a constant size. The "walls" formed by the larger bullets are easier to weave through.

The run just before my perfect clear was perfect except for Four of a Kind. I raged pretty hard. :V
-
Died to Ran's survival card right as it was about to time out 3 times in a row. The next try, I died with it 4 seconds left but had enough lives to clear. Unfortunately I forgot to read the stuff after the fight, so I get to go through again to do that. And of course, I messed up the final card also since Ran's last 2 are the only ones I haven't captured from PCB extra.
I guess it's partly because of using Marisa because that hitbox size can be bad.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-
MS Extra. A perfect run until Alice's 8th phase, then two deaths to that and two deaths to her final phase. =_=

It's just so FUN to die by having an enemy spawn on top of you.
EDIT: ARGH! So close to a 1cc of SA Normal T_T ...I think that I had ONE DEATH between the first four stages. On Terrible Souvenir of all things. Then I lost seven lives on stage 5. Of course. Reached Utsuho with three lives, only lost one before Hell and Heaven Meltdown, where I lost TWO. Then finally game overed when there was like... MAYBE one fifth of the life left on her final card... I would have 1cc'd if I'd used one or two more bombs... Or not screwed up on Satori's easy first card... OR IF ORIN DIDN'T EXIST!

Yeah, what?

Was trying to unlock Phantasm for ReimuB and then my antivirus program did a popup trying to get me to buy the premium version(Avira free antivirus) causing me to completely **** up the survival more than I usually do because of insane slowdown. Then I died to Izuna Gongen.
I tried out this Avira crap because I didn't really care for AVG or Avast, but I'm uninstalling this annoying piece of crap and going back to one of those 2, just can't remember which was better.
And why the **** is Descent of Izuna Gongen harder than Boundary of Life and Death? Oh ya, because I can't safespot this thing at all unlike BoLaD which is easy to do it on.

ARGHFRGN THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A PERFECT STAGE PORTION OF PCB STAGE 3 LUNATIC
Then I somehow clipped the fairies at the very end. Sadness.
Also, two death no bomb Alice. I really should 1cc this already. Deaths were Chalk-White Russian Dolls and Spring Kyoto Dolls. SKD I can get sometimes, but for some reason I'm appallingly bad at CWRD...
EDIT: err, 1 death 1 border broken
-
For the sake of somehow doing Stage 6!Yuka's Final Phase with Reimu, I decided to try and time down said phase for a bit longer...
Made it past the 8th "wave" before clipping a bullet. For reference, I had to go through 6 "waves" with MarisaB to survive (with initial shotgun).
I should probably save myself a lot of time and frustration by just TAS'ing my way through it and upload that as a timeout demonstration. But the future refused to change my "slowdown" tool is partially glitched for unknown reasons :V
Screw it, I'm going to get working on the LLS Extra Timeout Phases. Now I'm just wondering whether I should attempt to timeout as many of them out as I can in a single run, or savescumming successful timeouts which will make for a more impressive video overall?
Of course, I'll disable BGM if I ever choose the latter option, and use another lovely song in its place

DAMNIT YOUMU
GET BENT GET BENT STOP SCREWING WITH ME TAKIN' YOU DOWN RAAAAAA
EDIT:
Ok...
I can perfect the stage portion, I can reliably misdirect her midboss opener. Trouble spots on Youmu:
Midboss Card (~25% capture rate)
Opener (~10% capture rate)
First Card (~25% capture rate)
Second Card (~60% capture rate)
Last Card (~50% capture rate)
Also I still haven't learned the damn spot for Ageless Obsession. Most of it is pretty good, but I need to figure out her opener - I had a pretty good method but I can't get it to work anymore - and I really need to get better at her midboss and first card. Asura and Components are easy unless I mess up.
-
Hmm. I just started playing SA, and, well...
the thread's title seems accurate.
-
THAT'S IT! Next time I see Heaven and Hell Meltdown, I'm bombspamming! Completely! Once again, I died TWICE to it. I went into the final on my last life, three power, got it down to like... Oh, MAYBE 3% of it's health left before I game overed at 0 power! ARGH! WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?! SIT THERE AND LET ME 1CC YOU, YOU SHOULD NOT BE TOUGHER ON NORMAL THAN OTHER GAMES ARE ON HARD YOU STUPID GAME!
-
Why must I keep dying on Flandre's and Ran's survival cards when I'm a few seconds away from capturing them?
Every single time I get close, oops, clipdeath, try the stage again. Of course, I have cards left to capture from both stages other than those as well.
-
ARGH!!!! Omoikane's Brain is an evil, EVIL card >_< I was so close to 1ccing IN Hard...
-
PCB is somehow easier than EOSD. Thats great.
Whats not great is out of nowhere deaths to the GOD DAMNED RIVERS. OF PRISMS. Three lives cut down with practically no bomb use (Conserving obviously ends well for me. Yeeerp.)

I just got the notice of delivery for my copy of IN.
The RAGE part? The post office it's at is closed on weekends, so I can't pick it up until Monday.

Just had another MoF hard 1cc attempt ended by Virtue of Wind God. I hate that ****ing spellcard!
-
Final stage. Full life and two bombs. I don't even make it past Yuyuko's fist spell card. ;.;
-
I tried the EoSD retexture patch.
The reason is in the rage thread is that I wish I'd done it MONTHS AGO. -_-; The game looks incredible!
-
Well, after not playing for 5 days, I tried EoSD Hard again. The first 3 stages went by nicely, with only 2 bombs used on Meiling. Then Stage 4 started, where I died 3 times: once to the chicken fairies, another time to the bookspam, and finally to Koakuma.
Please excuse me while I go punch a hole in the wall.
-
Gah... every time I try to 1cc UFO Lunatic I usually end up having to restart Stage 1 five times, then when I manage to do that well enough almost always restart anyway due to utterly screwing up stages 2 and 3. I'm confident I could manage it if I don't do anything stupid on those three stages, but that's easier said than done... :-\
-
That's better than my last run of EoSD Hard. I game overed on stage 3 because the game refused to register the fact that I was pressing X. I normally get to stage 5 or 6.
Same thing happens to me usually on MoF Hard attempts. I've clipdeathed on the first boss enough times that I've maxed out stage 1 midboss's spell counter. If I get past that, I usually clipdeath something on the next 2 stages. If I get past that, I game over on Virtue of Wind God.
-
the game refused to register the fact that I was pressing X.
This happens to me ALL THE TIME! I often seem to have negative deathbomb times, failing when I KNOW I pressed X before the bullet hit me <_<; ...And other times, I succeed when I press X upon hearing the death sound >_<
EDIT: ARGH! NO! NO! NONONONONOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I finally actually manage to get through the stage portion of EoSD Extra with no deaths. And I do okay on Flandre at first, I die on Cranberry Trap, but that's not too bad... Then I die to Kagome-Kagome. FREAKING KAGOME-KAGOME!!! Manage to do Maze of HATE with only one bomb, no deaths. ...Die to a nonspell somewhere before Counter Clock. And to Catadioptric of course. So I reach Counter Clock on my last life, use all three bombs on it... Game over to the first part of And Then Will There Be None.
If I hadn't screwed up on Kagome-Kagome, and to that one nonspell, I MIGHT HAVE ACTUALLY CLEARED EOSD EXTRA! But no... I had to die to a couple incredibly easy attacks, and fail to bomb on one I should have known I'd die on... ARGH!

I played IN too much, my sense of bombing is screwed now.

So, Yukari decided to cheat and kill me on her first card T_T I CAPTURED THAT STUPID THING! THERE IS NO FREAKING WAY IN HELL THAT I GOT HIT! STOP CHEATING YUKARI!!! Oh, and then I failed her second card too. And there were other stupid deaths I'm pretty sure, but I can't remember... Great, that's the second time I've game overed on Double Black Death Butterfly. I probably could have cleared it if it weren't for sudden stupid deaths that should NOT have happened >_<

Why is Kanako's opener on Hard more difficult than fucking VoWG.

Lotus Land Story. Yuka is standing right in the middle. I'm just firing away at her. Master Spark happens, and I didn't even see the warning laser. Doubt I would've made it out either way. You freaking cheater, Yuka...
Also, Mystia on Lunatic is a pain in IN. I know I'm not much of a Lunatic player, but my God, her patterns actually have extremely small dodging spots...

Double Death Butterfly can be completely trivialized if you don't care about capturing it. Get a border (which should usually happen anyway), dodge the first wave of the attack, then just before the second appears (and when your border is about to run out), burst the border. Timed right, this takes out the second wave as well as the rest of the first. Unless you're using someone weaksauce like Reimu A or Sakuya A, the card should end before the third wave becomes a threat.
Why is Kanako's opener on Hard more difficult than fucking VoWG.
Kanako's opener is one of the hardest attacks in the game and is an autobomb.
Lotus Land Story. Yuka is standing right in the middle. I'm just firing away at her. Master Spark happens, and I didn't even see the warning laser. Doubt I would've made it out either way. You freaking cheater, Yuka...
Then don't stand there when Yuka is firing. She always fires it at the same interval, it is the only time the whole fight she isn't firing bullets, and she's invincible during the attack so there's no reason to be under her.

Jesus. It's times like this that make me want to cry.

So I tried to clear UFO with Mari A. Cleared the game already with all other shot types. Got to stage 5 with about 5/6 lives. Came out with 0.

God damit. MoF Stage 5 Hard ReimuC No Bomb run, got 80 Mil points, and then I decided "IT WOULD BE COOL TO DEATH BOMB ON THE SECOND LAST CARD". -_-

So i did capture Superhuman Byakuren Hiziri.
But i forgot to save a damn replay!
I think its a most distasteful spell so when i finally get it (those 15 attempts were the dread. I rarely even made it there with full power thanks to UFO's sweet power system) i forget to save the replay. URRRGHH!
I'm planning to create a video, maybe two, containing all spellcards captured at Lunatic with my own comments on them. Mainly as a showcase to a danish gaming site. I hate the card so much though that i'll probably just find a random replay in which it is captured and of course credit whoever made it. ::)
-
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
I entered Reimu in UNL lunatic with all my lives for the first time ever. Cue two deaths on her third spell card. WHY THE FUCK WON'T THIS CARD DIE??? Still, I could have had a chance of lamely 1ccing (as in not surviving Taisui's last spell card), but no no no his third spell card took the remaining two lives away. GRR.
-
AAAGGHGHGAGHAGGHHHH (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6114) (Read: What the fuck is this shit?)
-
No offence to those who love UFO with all their heart but...
Okay, i captured Shou's Aura of Justice card on Lunatic. Only three spells to go and i'll have captured all spells in the game. I sure managed to save the most frustrating for last.
Shou's battle, at least in my opinion, suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks!!! There is not a single good spellcard in it. Sure, the music kicks ass but the spellcards are just so freakin' frustrating. Byakuren wasn't anywhere near as annoying. In fact, she only had ONE card that pissed me off being Superhuman Byakuren Hiziri.
Vajra of Perfect Buddhism is an absolutely terrible spellcard. I don't know if i can gather the necessary strength to get it done with (I need the strength to not break the keyboard in half.)
Complete Clarification was a decent card on Hard mode but i despise the way the lunatic version works. They just give you less room to work with. That's it. I know a lot of attacks work that way but for some reason they seem to spawn at the boss and come down to me and not just force me to stand between some lasers who spam some of the most annoying bullets in ZUN's arsenal.
It feels like those FPS games which only difference between difficulties is the damage output of the enemies being scaled up. Lazy i say.
Finally but certainly not least there is Radiant Treasure Gun. It's dreadfully annoying as well... damn it ZUN. Just damn it.

Ehhh... what happened Bait?
I would've guessed you got hit at the last moment of what i guess is Genetics but you still got the bonus which you usually don't get when you die at the last moment.

Bullets didn't clear as "expected". So I ended up getting hit by (the wall of) bullets as they were leaving the screen instead.
-
So I gave HRtP a serious attempt because it's the only pc98 game I haven't 1cc'd on lunatic. Tried normal.
...oh boy that took like 20 continuous. 10 on YuugenMagan, 5 on Elis and 5 on Sariel.
Some of those boss attacks are VERY cheap what the hell.
Yeah, I'm definitely missing something. :-[

Nah, YuugenMagann is monster.

You have got to be kidding me. I mess up the opportunity to get to Remi 2/4 by screwing up once on Stage 6 Sakuya midboss both her non spell and her spell card. Urgh... As for the rest of my lives, they all died in stage 5 (went in 4/3).
-
ADFASFFFFF I'm starting to REALLY hate Patchouli for her bullshit first spellcard in UNL because it takes so fucking long to beat but worst of all whenever I go to attack I get counter hit by some fucking tiny bullet that comes out of nowhere. And then that messes up the flow of the card so the giant rings go all over the place.
Why did Tasofro have to give Meiling such a shitty backdash? It has so much vulnerablilty it's rediculous. Accidently backdash during any attack and your dead.
Also Marisa's first spellcard also sucks because it takes forever and I always get counterhit by some random star that hasen't moved far enough into the floor yet.
At least I can completely destroy Alice now almost without getting hit once.

And then that messes up the flow of the card so the giant rings go all over the place.
Take your time on this one. Remember that Patchy is vulnerable when she's forming a ring, so 236 her. Also note that as long as the fire ring isn't moving, any projectiles can move through it, so throw in a 5C while you're at it. It takes a long time but if you're careful it's not that hard.
Why did Tasofro have to give Meiling such a shitty backdash? It has so much vulnerablilty it's rediculous. Accidently backdash during any attack and your dead.
No comment because you're right. ;>_> Though I can't think of ANYONE with a good backdash.
Also Marisa's first spellcard also sucks because it takes forever and I always get counterhit by some random star that hasen't moved far enough into the floor yet.
Protip: 236 can go thorugh the star barrier. Time it well and you can cut down the time this one takes significantly.

Unfortunately I can't do some of that since I use Meiling's alt 236, the rainbow spinning one, as it allows me to take out Alice in a matter of seconds (spin spin spin KO!)
Anyways biggest problem is lack of patience on my part. I guess I'll try agian tommorow.
-
Hmm...you say you can't use THE story mode utility move because you're replacing it with another move...
Gee, I don't know how to help ya here. Sorry. :(
-
Oh you already beat it? Derp, and here I thought I could beat you at something. :V
(welp there's always Ijiyatsu heheheheh)
Anyways at least it doesn't seem impossible like it did when I first tried. Like I said all due to a lack of patience on my part :V
-
With much practice, I captured Ichirin's cards with ease. ;D
Now I can't clear stage 1 and 2. ARGHAL BRAGHAL!!!!!

Byakuren Easy Pacifist: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6125

Had a nice run going, just taking out Alice 5/1 (I've ended up mostly ragerestarting lately to get at the least this clearing stage 3). Game freezes before stage 4 starts. Absolutely no precedent of any sorts for it, completely out of the blue.

Didn't even see the red butterfly hitting me until I watched the replay.
-
Had a nice IN run where I capped all five of Kaguya's main cards plus her first Last Spell, but the replay doesn't save. So, I go back into practice to do it again, then go on to fail nine cards.
Sigh .....
-
I had a nice EoSD run going duruing lunch time. Stages 1+2 perfect, during Stage 3's midboss, I had to open a door for someone, got back into it, no problems there. Someone comes over and decides to talk to me, I die 3 times during the fight against her, on her noncards at that. Game overed right before the lazers on stage 4.

SARIEL SARIEL SARIEL SARIEL SARIEL MOTHERFUCKING SARIEL
Third time she robbed me of a 1cc! Why does she have a second form anyway!?
I would have 1cc'd lunatic if I just had one more bomb. ;_;
Anyway, HRtP is a complete blast. :D
I can't believe I've missed out on this for such a long time.
-
You know, if the FREAKIN' HITBOXES would be constant, I'd probably have beat tHRtP along time ago. But they're all over the place. I keep getting killed by what appear to be clear misses, yet the orb has to be almost dead center before it'll flip a tile. This is driving me insane uhfksjbadfk.sdbgufjklbguafjkldguasbfkgabdkfg,auvuohylfj

I despise HRtP hitboxes. Seriously, Reimu's hitbox is LARGER THAN HER SPRITE, while the sprite/hitbox ratio for the bosses is similar to playable Reimu in later games.

Reimu's hitbox is actually smaller when she's sliding.

-
Ugh, SoEW stage 1 is so horrible. It takes forever yet due to lunatic's randomness I die way more often on it than I should. I just want to get a decent-looking run for Youtube. T_T
-
1 Death timeout of "Sinking Vortex". I was a derpsicle and lost control with 10 seconds to go, and ended up colliding (not clipping) into a wall at 4.5 seconds.

Consistently game overing at Ichirin Hard. But she's so easy. Argh why.

BLOODY FREAKIN' HELLFIRE
WHAT THE CRAP
SA
WHAT THE CRAP
Die on Stage 3 for the first time, fine, no power, Mt. Ooe, I'm crap at it. Die with power on S4. Die to Satori, but with no power. S5? DIE DIE DIE with 2 or more power every time. Including an absolutely WHAT THE HELL clipdeath as midboss Orin cleared...on the timeout, since I had only two power and couldn't kill her. Then two "ARE YOU KIDDING ME" clips on Orin's first and second noncards (though I did get her first card).
ALRIGHT SERIOUSLY
This of course doesn't count all the S1&2 restarts...
GRAHHHHHHH
-
So I finally opened StB up after not playing it for months.
Wait, where did that bullet come from?
Why did I just run into that wall?
Why is Aya's focus speed so fast/slow?
How did I just run through that wall?
Why can't I clear anything on Scene 3 or 4?
I better be playing bad because it's 4:30 in the morning or else I'm going to start playing games on Lunatic.
-
Dear lord, why is it so stupid difficult to activate a spellcard in IaMP!?
REGISTER GODDAMIT
I'm seriously considering making a macro because this is retarded.
-
SA Extra no-vertical, had a perfect stage run followed by all three deaths on Ancestors Standing Beside Your Bed.
What.
Also I see Relm and Ultros in your avatar Baity and it makes me smile :V
-
Consistently game overing at Ichirin Hard. But she's so easy. Argh why.
Because lasers are confusing, her first card is a mess, her second card requires you to follow a strict train of thought (or die) and her third non-spell is just plain dumb.

THANK YOU. The only reason I managed to 1cc IaMP lunatic was because FOR ONCE Yukari both activated a spell card AND used it before getting knocked into the infinite loop that is Pandemonium. It's like some esoteric knowledge of fighting game fans how to make IaMP do the moves you want when you want.
-
I have only myself to blame for this, but SoEW Lunatic takes stupid to WHOLE NEW LEVELS.

Touhou fighters have extremely easy inputs compared to other fighting games. You don't have any of that 632146HPKSHDKS632146H crap that other fighters have.
/me waits for someone to figure out what attack that input is and tell him it's easy.
-
SoEW Lunatic takes stupid to WHOLE NEW LEVELS.
This is ironic in the sense that SoEW is the first Touhou shmup.
-
**** yes. No Deaths Normal Orin boss fight MarisaB.
**** No, How did I die that 4 times during the stage practice during the stage portion. Still, knowing I could potentially no death the stage in an actual run is great.
Okay, what the Hell SA Stage 4 Hard? Was trying to unlock the stages on Hard for practice and couldn't get past this.

Technically the only difference between SoEW Hard and Lunatic is that defeated enemies in Lunatic fire revenge bullets at you.
'Course, considering how much the game hates players that ends up being a much bigger issue than it would be if it were like that in any other game...
-
Why is it that EVERY SINGLE TIME I go up against Sakuya, I have at the very, very least one death that least me screaming "WHAT THE FREAKING HELL JUST HIT ME?!" No, seriously. Why? And then Remi did it too on Young Demon Lord, wasting three precious, precious bombs. If it weren't for those two utterly ridiculous deaths, then maybe, just MAYBE I could have 1cc'd EoSD Hard. It doesn't help that the deathbomb time sometimes goes into the negatives instead of just really small for some random reason T_T

IaMP, StB, or SA?
-
From his past comments I'd say IaMP.
Out of curiosity, who are you using? I figured out a strategy, but it's very high-risk and requires you to enter the attack with at least one spare life. Just remember that no matter what, Pandemonium can't kill you while you're blocking. Also don't forget that F11 activates stage practice.
-
I couldn't even make it to Satori on those attempts.
And I wouldn't have been facing Border of Wave and Particle anyway. I would have been facing Mercury Poison, Princess Undine, and Philosopher's Stone.

I'm trying different characters at the moment. For that attempt I used Patchy mainly because of projectile spam and Royal Nuke. :V
But she's probably not the best choice, because I couldn't get a single hit in after Suika wrecks your HUD at Pandemonium.
I might just borrow your thread because I doubt I'm going to be able to do this without any help.
Also, I think I figured out how to use spell cards properly now. You have to slowly move in the neccesary directions instead of doing a fast sweeping motion.
Still can't do this consistently though. :-\
-
Go ahead, it's not meant to be just my thread anyway. And actually Patchy is the best choice. She's not as broken as Aya/Medicine in PoFV, but she's the easiest to use.
-
Of course I'd have to game over on Hourai Jewel instead of actually getting my IN Hard 1cc -_-
-

Patchy was the only way I could 1cc IaMP Normal; she has so many varied projectiles that she can basically take out anything. SWR is much more forgiving, I find.
And then it throws things like "Doppler Effect" or "All Things Reunite In Death" at you. And I find that SWR is a truly hateful game, and that both of them are difficult enough to rank as official Touhou games.

Replay: :)

You can be proactive against the lasers and make them a non-threat.
BoWaP is only hard at two specific moments: when you're entering into the pattern for the first time, and when you're readjusting after the "wave" comes around. The rest of it can be done by looking above your sprite rather than at your hitbox, a bit like VoWG.

AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everything from stage 2 onward on IN Hard is making me want to destroy things. Seriously, WHY AM I FAILING SO MANY DEATHBOMBS?! HOW THE HELL AM I GETTING HIT BY THIS STUFF?!! AARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EDIT: So, decided to go on to MS since IN wasn't going that well... I have to wonder, why is it that EVERY SINGLE TIME I play this game on Hard, I game over at Yumeko's blue streaming hell? It never fails. Ever.

1 Death on Vajra. Of all things. I swear I'm going to AAAGGHGHGAGHAGGHHHH so hard.
I pray that it stays a 1 Death clear.

My throat seriously hurts... From all of my roaring with rage at IN Hard and LLS Extra. Dear god... x.x

Game overed with three bombs on Mima FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

I haven't played for over a week =(

Got Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana to 58 seconds. Why does this thing rely so much on luck ? D:
My hand pretty much moved on its own after the 7th wave >>
-
Another MoF run ended by Virtue of Wind God.
Differences this time:
I was using ReimuB instead of ReimuA
I died 3 times on stage 3.
-
Repeatedly failing Hourai Elixir. On easy. Always within the last 15 seconds. That looks like that's supposed to be the easiest part of the card. -.-
-
JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THESE FIGHTING GAMES AND COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS FINAL SPELL CARDS
And here I thought Pandemonium was bad, Scarlet Weather Rhapsody of All Humankind is even worse!

No, no, WHAT?! I die to Chen's final card with one bomb in stock, then I manage to get to the end... AND I DIE AT THE EXACT SAME MOMENT SHE EXPLODES! ARRGH!!!!
-
I am now raging at EoSD's lack of stage practice replay saving.
I just captured Scarlet Gensokyo Hard for the first time and holy shit I couldn't believe the dodges I was making. But now they're gone forever :(

You think that's bad? I've beaten EoSD stage 6 lunatic no deaths and have nothing but a screenshot to prove it.
-
Reminds me of the time I captured absolutely everything in Stage 5 MoF except for The Day The Sea Split.
However, because I went there specifically to capture The Day The Sea Split, I proceeded to not save the replay and continue with practicing. It was only after replaying the stage a few times and finding I could no longer capture even half the stage and attacks (heck, when I finally did it that was the only card I captured on the run... yes, I even failed Sanae's final) that I realized just how rare and valuable that run was...
-
MoF mostly blind(I've seen stage 5) Easy scorerun ruined by dying stupidly to Kanako several times while trying to capture stuff. And why are her last 2 cards harder on Easy than they are on Normal? I hate it when stuff like that happens.
Now I want to try timing out the Mountain of Faith card on Easy instead of on Normal, and I haven't even captured that version like I have the Normal one.
-
Mountain of faith decides to screw iwith the framerate
I'd be fighting Aya on easy mode at 30 fps and suddenly in the middle of the onion rings of death the framerate would jump to 60fps and then back to 30 again.
Somehow I still managed to beat it but it was so frustrating.

Mountain of Faith is harder on Easy than it is on Normal. The amulets in the Easy version move slower than they do in the Normal version, so eventually they all get clustered together and turn into colorful walls of death.
-
Took me 6 tries to capture it on Easy, which was less than for Normal. It just took me by surprise.
MoF Normal Pacifist run attempt.(no bombs since I wanted to try it without first)
No miss until Nitori.
Someone comes in the room and distracts me during the first nonspell- miss 1
Mess up Kappa's Pororoca- miss 2
Die to Nitori's last nonspell with 1 second left on the timer due to accidentally moving too far. Game over
I should have at least made it to stage 4.
-
ReimuB, MarisaB and SanaeA make Nue's second card fucked up impossible.
Oh, and Genzami.
GODDAMN GENZAMI.
-
After not touching EoSD or PCB for a week, I decided to try EoSD Hard on a whim. The game refuses to let me bomb while moving, costing me a life to Cirno's second nonspell and another one to Perfect Freeze. Did well after that until I got to Meiling's Colorful Light Chaotic Dance, which looks like it SHOULD be easier than Colorful Rain. I guessed wrong.
Needless to say, I didn't get to Koakuma. And this doesn't even take into account the three rage-restarts from dying to midboss Rumia. >_>;;
-
Okay seriously WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT UFO
I didn't have any incredibly stupid moments on ANY of the stages. I collected lots of red UFOs. I perfected Ichirin until her final card. I managed to dodge the last part of Stage 5 for the first time ever.
SO HOW THE HELL DID I NOT EVEN REACH STAGE 6 ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH
-
So today, after practicing on StB for a few days, I thought that I should try EoSD hard and see if I could finally 1CC it.
The first three stages went by like usual, which kind of disappointed me because I thought I'd finally be able to get through Meiling without using 2 bombs. Stage 4 also went by like usual, which is to say, exactly like I've been playing for the past few weeks: dying on stupid stuff, and then ragequitting just after Koakuma.
Man, what happened to me being able to go through the stage without dying?
-
Tried another run. Things were looking good until I managed to die about seven times between starting Stage 5 and getting a game over on Greatest Treasure. <_____________<
-
How many tries is it going to take me to capture Sacrifice Sign "Misayama Hunting Shrine Ritual" on Normal? It's the only one I haven't captured on MoF Normal without the MarisaB bug.
At least going for this card gives me an excuse to try to timeout Mountain of Faith. I've gotten it down to 1 death no bombs. After I manage both of these, I'll try timing out the Easy version.
-
Marisa's a fat pig with a giant hitbox. Lay off the bacon, FATTY!
*grumbling about a failed 1cc of MoF Marisa B (limited to focused firing when at 3.xx power so as not to abuse the bugged laser) with two clips to Divining Crop, a clip to a streamed bullet in Stage 6, and other clips I don't recall the details of but am pissed about nonetheless.
-
Doesn't the vsynch patch fix Marisa B?
-
Only if you use the vsync patch for MoF, and turn said bug fix on in the ini.
-
Marisa's a fat pig with a giant hitbox. Lay off the bacon, FATTY!
Nah, it's probably just that Reimu is anorexic.
-
Oh, I forgot about that. I'll try it again later without that additional mindgame of "am I at 3 power? Crap. Okay... dodge this focused... crap, I can't do that, okay, stop firing, unfocus, dodge... you're good, focus, fire..."
-
Tried UFO (and a Touhou game in general) for the first time in a while.
Failed a Hard 1cc at Shou. I was sucking really badly, but that's not really the source of my rage so much as the RANDOM-ASS SLOWDOWN AND INPUT LAG SPIKES LOL. It happens when the fps is set to full, and the vsync patch doesn't help it at all. Some parts get so unsteady that they become nigh-unplayable. SA also did stuff like this to(mostly in stage 6), but never to this extent. I don't know what makes UFO so much worse. Then when I switch to 1/2 fps, the slowdown is gone, but then I get constant input lag (and the vsync patch still doesn't help).
I really need to get a better computer and I refuse to seriously work on UFO until I do. And that probably won't be for a good while unfortunately. :-\
-
Nah, it's probably just that Reimu is anorexic.
The yin-yang orbs have the power to make you thin.

SA extra, Sanae is not fun, AT ALL !
I captured all Koishi card until genetics once, put Miracle Fruit...I clip death it 75% of the time...
FFFF
-
Sanae is the main reason I don't seriously try SA Extra that much. Koishi's hearts as well. I always game over to the first heart spell anytime I make it there due to the fact I can't abuse bombs on it.
-
Another game over on LFO. I will beat this damn game.
-
I am very surprised I have not smashed my monitor in a fit of rage over my inability to not suck at UFO Stage 5. I can't even pinpoint what I'm doing wrong (other than "dying alot") is the worst of it :V
-
I reached Stage 6 3/0. I got a game over on midboss Nue.
GODDAMNIT.

Did you try going for UFO's? If so, that may be your problem. Going for UFOs is all well and good if you're used to the movements and very confident in yourself, but 3/0 is good enough for Byakuren unless you only need one red UFO to get an extra life.

My strategy involves gaining a minimum of five bombs from UFOs on Stage 6; first card, second non-card and card, third card and fourth non-cards are all autobombs for me, so I can't really afford to not go for bombs... it's never messed up that badly before, though. When I get to Devil's Recitation, I'm pretty much safe (or at least I should be except I keep messing up LFO dammitdammitdammit).
-
Here, let me try and explain the correct movements for Magic Butterfly:
Starting from center:
First laser: inch left
Second laser: Inch right
Third laser: Move back left
Fourth laser: Misdirect left, get back to center
Fifth laser: Inch once to the right from center
Sixth laser: Inch left
Seventh laser: Move left to the right of where the butterfly bullets intersect (this is the hardest wave to dodge and to explain)
From here on the rest should be self explanatory if Sanae B at full power does as much as I think it does.
-
Alrighty, thanks, I'll try that out.
On a more rage-ish note: I somehow reached Ichirin at 7.75 lives. I then proceeded to game over on Radiant Treasure Gun.
From 0 to fail in 5.2 seconds~
-
Ahhhh I can't even make a decent no bomb clear cause I keep deathbombing out of habit argh argh argh
-
NO EXCEPTIONS
-
Why does everytime I get all the point items, kill Sanae without bombing and go to Koishi at full power, I die stupidly at Danmaku Paranoia or one of her first Noncards?
She's the only Ex-boss I've never beaten...
Man, even though I love her, SHE'S SO HARD FOR PEOPLE THAT CAN'T MOVE ONE PIXEL ONLY *Knocks head on wall*
-
Why is PC98 so goddamn hard.

Why is PC98 so goddamn hard.
Don't even try to tell me that LLS is near as hard as the Windows games. Not counting Extra, at least.
SoEW is mostly unfair due to being primitive (What the hell Mima+BOMB 2 SECONDS BEFORE YOU GET HIT OR ELSE) although that definitely can still count as goddamn hard :'(
I must fully agree on the case of PoDD though, GOD DAMN YOU YUMEMI, AT LEAST SHIKIEIKI IS ONLY IMPOSSIBLE DUE TO DISPROPORTIONALLY LARGE BULLET SPRITES

LLS extra and MS in general.
Seriously, I've no death'd UFO extra and captured almost every EX card on Windows(except for Kokkuri-San) yet I can't beat Gengetu.
I've managed it once, but I was insanely lucky and I've got extends almost after every pattern.
EX Alice still makes me cry >.>
-
Gengetu is really all about positioning. Of course, it's wicked positioning, but frankly you get EIGHT LIVES, so it's not that bad.
EXAlice is nastier, though she really only gets crazy from phase 6 on.

-
The stage isn't hard though, Banana. =V

It's not hard.
It's shittakingly hard.
-
Erm...LLS Extra...lessee...I usually have to bomb the midboss, if unlucky one bomb before that, and maybe a death afterwards if I screw up. Usually get an Extend in there somewhere, though...
Honestly I have more trouble with MS's cards at the beginning...but then I usually restart spammed through those if I died.

Seriously, I've no death'd UFO extra and captured almost every EX card on Windows(except for Kokkuri-San) yet I can't beat Gengetu.
EX Alice still makes me cry >.>
Try using Marisa for a Kokkuri-San capture. I have a perfect capture rate on that card with Marisa, I suppose Reimu being slower makes that card slightly harder.
And oh god yes, Alice may be among my favorite characters but her Extra is goddamn hard. Its the only Extra I haven't beaten if I hadn't died on Evil Eye's last phase with 3 bombs left RAAAAAGE
-
Wouldn't the smaller hitbox make Reimu's easier?
But I've gotten very close on both Marisa and Sakuya. Not Reimu though. I still haven't captured that or Izuna Gongen from Extra. I think I have 3 left from Phantasm.
-
Boundary of Humans and Youkai is easier since it doesn't force you to cross more than 1 line at once....Kokkuri San forces you to cross both vertical and horizontal at once IIRC.
-
Boundary of Humans and Youkai is one of the 3. The others are Ran's second midboss spell and Double Death Butterfly.
And you shouldn't have to go through two lines at once on Kokkuri-san's contract. I get into that situation much more often on Boundary of Humans and Youkai. The last part is even worse on Yukari's.

Sightread broski.
You mean the brief one before the streaming? It's aimed. The trick is that it's aimed diagonally so it's less obvious.
What the hell does "diagonally aimed" mean :V
-
Shuuso Gyoku Sage 4 needs to die in a fire.
Seriously. SO MANY RESTARTS. And Marie max rank is RIDICULOUS LIKE UNTO WHAT THE CRAP.
I can do S5 perfect, 2 bombs on Erich. S6 perfect, 1 death 1 bomb first form, and 1 death between both of the last two forms, but...RRRGH STAGE 4.
Assume one bomb S4, 3 bombs and 1 death on Marie...2 bombs on Erich...2 deaths on VIVIT. Throw in one more death for good measure...
I can't screw up more than once on the first three stages, then.
Bloody tall order...stupid Seihou.
-
And now I can't even make it to Kokkuri-San's Contract for some reason. Maybe I should switch back to Reimu or Sakuya.
-
Boundary of Humans and Youkai is easier since it doesn't force you to cross more than 1 line at once....Kokkuri San forces you to cross both vertical and horizontal at once IIRC.
Yeah but you still shouldn't actually DO so, cross the lines one at a time. Since they stay in the same horizontal/vertical positions, when dodging them just stay in the safe areas for one line at a time.
Try to remember which direction you will be forced to move next, so you can move to that end preemptively, giving you more time to safely dodge the lines.
Wouldn't the smaller hitbox make Reimu's easier?
The only time Reimu's smaller hitbox actually does a crap is with clipdeaths that are quite literally 1 pixel away from being safe. Which seriously almost never happens. In PCB she has many other things that make her better, though. And in every other game too
But for a specific card capture, this case Kokkuri-San, I find that Marisa's speed helps dodging the lines easier. Just never, ever try to move through 2 lines at once (which would require diagonal movement, something you should probably also avoid while moving through the lines)
And now I can't even make it to Kokkuri-San's Contract for some reason. Maybe I should switch back to Reimu or Sakuya.
Yeah you probably should. Marisa's lack of range and small amount of bombs make her the worst in terms of pure survival, especially in Extra where Non-Directional Laser doesn't let you skip boss attacks. Not that she sucks, as she has good points too, but she isn't a character to use if you have trouble with winning already.
-
What the hell does "diagonally aimed" mean :V
The attack is aimed at you from a diagonal. It can be dodged by simple streaming, but its position makes it hard to tell that it's doing that.
-
So... Who else here has lost SEVEN FREAKING BOMBS on a stage 2 boss card? That's right, I reach Chen's final without dying or bombing ONCE before that. I then die twice to it.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

SEVEN FREAKING BOMBS on a stage 2 boss card?
...How is that even theoretically possible? Were you sitting in the very bottom opposite corner to her the whole time or something?
-
...How is that even theoretically possible? Were you sitting in the very bottom opposite corner to her the whole time or something?
I didn't USE the bombs. I lost them. By dying with four bombs in stock once, then three in stock again. I just decided to mention it because really part of what I was ticked off about is having that many extra shots to survive just gone in an instant like that.
-
After spending many, many restarts getting to grips with the first few stages, I kept getting ripped apart by Stages 4 and 5, leaving me with just few enough lives/bombs to guarantee a fail at Stage 6. So, I took Donut's advice, and went into Stage practice for a while, and I can now do Stages 4 and 5 with one death on each of them through lots of bomb abuse. This should allow me to 1cc; that is, if I hadn't somehow completely lost the ability to do Stages 2 and 3. This isn't a one-off thing; in two hours, I hadn't had a single decent run of the first three stages.
/me swears profusely at UFO

So after acing SWR's lunatic, I figured that UNL's was going to be a piece of cake.
Yeah... not so much.

PoDD lunatic with Kana. Rikako's theme looped before I beat her. This is ridiculous.
Also, I later died twice to Ellen but that's another story. Almost got past Chiyuri on the single life I managed to bring that far, but obviously I have seen better days. As evidenced by not having a single post in the latest accomplishments thread :V

RRRRRRRRGHHHHHH
GAAAAAAAAAATES!!!!
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATES!!!!
Max rank Gates is obscene. Tack max rank Marie on top of that...
If I can get to stage 5 - even 0/0 - I have a pretty good shot at beating the game! But the game only gives you 3 bloody lives, and two of them are in stage 5 and 6! I can't get through both Gates and Marie on only four lives! I can't do it!

But... Gates is incredibly easy aside from his penultimate phase (which is actually worth a bomb or two). SG's first three stages are really easy and you shouldn't be using more than 3 bombs to get past them (one for Gates's attack, one for Mei/Mai's second phase, another just in case of a random screw-up).
And after this you need to try Banshiryuu C67 and C74 Extra. Just so I can read your reaction to the stage 2 boss. ;D

You shut the hell up. :V
Mei and Mai's second phase almost always eats 2. And the annoying thing is, if I don't bomb, I usually die, but if I wait, then I usually deathbomb and lose THREE.
Also I just got killed by bullets I couldn't see in S3 because of the midboss exploding. Goddamnit.
EDIT: Screw you to hell, Azinth. >:( Gates kills me twice, every time.
-
EoSD lunatic.
13 captures should be enough to at least get you deep into stage 6, right? Right?
Dying in the stupidest manners with multiple bombs in stock multiple times means the run ended at Killing Doll. Stage 4 in particular was a complete disaster, the highlight being two deaths (for a total of six bombs lost there alone) to Patchy's non-directional lasers (what).
I ended up continuing (capturing a 14th card in Eternal Meek, "yay", rank was probably in the negatives) and clearing stage 6 for practice.... after, of course, another continue sometime during the Remilia fight. What the hell is lunatic Remilia. WHAT. THE. HELL.

It takes me about an hour just to get past stage 1 without dying, and then I keep making silly mistakes in early stages, getting game overs where I shouldn't.

MoF Normal No Vert. Just had a run so full of fail I didn't even bother to save the replay. The only thing that went right outside of the easy stage 1 and 2 was capturing Kanako's first and second spellcard. Other than that, it was mostly messing up everything and having to bomb.
I did clear, but I wasn't happy with it at all.

AAAAAAAAAAAGH MARIE'S BORDER OF WAVE AND PARTICLE WHAT THE HELL IS THIS IT MAKES SATORI'S LOOK SLOW AND BORING GODDAMNIT
EDIT:
GODDAMNIT
I finally get to Marie 2/0 (on a massively lucky S4 run, which included the dialogue box popping up over the last couple blue bullets and me only evading by pure luck), which should be enough to finally break into S5. I die almost immediately (lolrank). I then DEATHBOMB. Go from 1/2 to 0/1, and from pretty good to NOT A GODDAMN CHANCE. I still make it to her last phase before getting annihilated.
GODDAMN IT
WHY DO YOU SUCK SO MUCH
-
Since I never no-death runned anything I decided to try one on easy. Haven't played easy in at least 2 months if not more so I was suprised how easy it was.
Then I died to the fucking slowest ball ever on sanae's first card (the aimed ones) freaking huge hitbox.
And another death on kanako's 2nd to last, totally unfair.
-
0/2 going into QED. Decided to go for the capture because I cleared the stage before.
Died when she didn't have much of a lifebar left.
Edit: And Cranberry Trap still ****ing sucks for me. I have 4/74 on that card. I actually thought it was only 2 captures, but I checked to be sure.

Game over at Youmu's last spellcard on Lunatic
Playing it once a day is good for me, less rage and I can actually see some improvement...
But it's still so early... maybe I should try again >_>
Not to mention I bombed twice on 1st stage, died twice on second, twice on third, god knows how many on fourth.
Got to 5th stage with one bomb, used it before youmu, got a border during her sub-boss spellcard, made through it, got the life and bombed my way through her last spell..
I only died because I was unfocused trying to get another border, I might have captured it :(
-

How did you do Kanako's second card no vert? That was almost as impossible for me as Hunting Shrine Ritual the only time I've done it.
-
Maaan I was so pissed off with PCB I went to play EoSD and was going to try to open Extra with Marisa-A which is the only char i have never played. (not that I've ever played Extra anyway).
Game over at patchouli LOL
Marisa is way too fast =(

Yes! I think I'm going to do this, I've reached Yuyuko's first card 4/2. Hm... Wait, what's that mom? You want me to take the dog out? Aw, fine. *dog doesn't react* Oh whatever. *goes back to game* *see that laptop shut when I put it down* *opens up*

Get to Youmu 5/0. Come out 0/3. ARGH! All those deaths except the first WERE WITH AT LEAST TWO BOMBS IN STOCK! Well, apart from the last, where there was only one... Did I mention that I also died on LYRICA'S FREAKING OPENER with four bombs in stock? Yeah. If that hadn't happened, I would actually have beaten the Prismrivers without deaths.
-
Well, after (almost, I used a bomb on Green Storm) perfecting Patchy, I make it to stage 5 with 7 lives and no bombs.
I make it out with 3 lives and 1 bomb. THEN, during the ring spam on S6, a fairy thought it would be funny to ram into me when I was trying to stream. After that, I burn a bomb on Eternal Meek and make it to Remi. Battle starts, I get walled by her opener, die at Young Demon Lord (I swear, those bubble bullets like to change their hitbox size), bomb Thousand Needle Mountain, and game over on Vampire Illusion to a bullet I didn't even see.
How many times have I game-over'd on Remilia by now? *Checks*
9 timesFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Why did VIVIT form 2 basically double in difficulty all of a sudden?
Seriously, rank should be the same as all those other runs, I die on form 1...but form 2 is suddenly throwing double the number of lasers and the orange waves cover nearly the entire screen and WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT FROM ME
-
ARGH! I'm SICK of Chen. None of her cards are consistent captures, and her final is just a freaking NIGHTMARE! I'm tempted to just make it my strategy that when I don't have a border on it, just do an unfocused bomb to clear the screen followed by an up-close focused bomb to GET RID OF HER! And if I DO get a border, I'll use it to clear the screen and do a focused bomb anyway.
Oh, and I just realized something. I did a no bombs, no deaths clear of Lunatic Alice. I'm pretty sure that I haven't done that with Chen. Seriously, she's a stage two boss, WHAT THE FREAKING HELL?!
-
After finally perfecting SA Stage 4 Normal with ReimuA, I really need to let loose the rage I built up over Double Black Death Butterfly. By the way, I consider this not so much as an achievement as it is a result of me having barely enough patience to deal with a really nasty spell card that I could argue is almost too tough for Normal Mode, hence the ranting you see below and why this is not in the achievement thread.
Seriously, why is that card so difficult in all its randomness? Sure, the concept of dodging a not-overwhelmingly-dense array bullets that move in three directions should be a cinch (or close to it) after playing Touhou for a month. But nooooooooo. Oddly aimed walls of bullets when I least expect them, even with vertical movement taken into account. The sheer difficulty of precisely reading where the newly generated bullets are going because they start so damn close together. Clusters of red bullets appearing from nowhere because the blue ones completely camouflage them. And the sheer randomness of the bullet layouts (in a circle around Satori) catching me off guard by quickly closing off any and all openings through said oddly aimed walls of bullets! Normally I wouldn't mind the random aspect of any attack, if it didn't seem to increase the luck aspect of this card so much. Hell, Nuclear Fusion and Mega Flare are quite random in their own ways, yet they're worlds easier than DBDB. Worlds, I say! What's worse, I feel as if I've hardly gotten any better at this specific card this whole time. Not even improving my general dodging skills could save me from getting repeatedly walled by bullets moving in three directions.
I'm not looking forward to playing DBDB on higher difficulties. Even when most of them fly off the screen on Lunatic, I'm going to hate every single bullet that remains.

AAARRRRGH!!! Deep Mountain has never felt so annoying >.< 90% of my time for the past few days has been spent listening to that, Crystallized Silver, Fantastic Legend of Tohno, and Withered Leaf, since I end up restarting over and over and over. I think that my mind has managed to block out the latter three, but Deep Mountain is drilling into my brain very painfully. This is absurd...
-
Tried a random run of Phantasm today to see if a perfect was feasible for me; on my first attempt, I captured BoHoY, BoLaD, Danmaku Bounded Field, Shikigami Ran... all the cards that were actually somewhat difficult, basically. Rage because I managed to die twice on the stage and once to Motion and Silence, Light and Darkness and DDB. All were incredibly derp deaths. :V Still, I think I can do this.

You can definitely do this.
I'm honestly surprised that Veronica and I are the only ones to have done this, it's seriously not that bad at all.
Sure, the stage is annoying but it can be completely memorized and Yukari is easier than her stage, so yeah. :V
I'd say perfecting stage 3 is a lot harder IMO.
Danmaku Bounded Field, Shikigami Ran
How do you find these difficult? :V
The only thing that I can think of is that your doing something the wrong way.

As in, compared to the rest of the cards. :P Ran and DBF are still almost always captures for me, but Ran is more difficult to keep track of than most because bullets from three directions + avoiding Ran at the same time, and DBF because I occasionally make a derp mistake on the third or fourth wave. :V
Also, food for thought: I think BoLaD is a lot easier than King Kraken Strike, Consecutive Hooks, Radiant Treasure Gun... a lot of the UFO Lunatic cards, actually. Is it just me being weird, or does anyone else agree?

That Ran tactic is interesting... I think I might have to use that, although I still have a consistent capture rate in the middle of the screen. No BoLaD or DBF safespots for me, though, I want this clear to be as impressive as possible. I have a 90-95% cap rate on DBF without ever having used the safespot and BoLaD... well, not as high a cap rate, but I've captured it a fair few times, so. :P

I used it during my Normal 1cc. If you're not then good luck with it.

What the... What the hell? I decided to take a break from PCB Lunatic and just play Normal. The first three stages were so easy as to be BORING. But then, suddenly, once I'm in stage 4, I die stupidly to Lily White. Oh, no big deal, right? But then, I proceed to have such a ridiculous series of facepalm worthy deaths THAT I GAME OVER AT FLOWERY SOUL! WHAT THE HELL?!

PoDD lunatic with Kana.
Pretty much flawless playing until Chiyuri - ended most of the rounds with 5 hearts and either a bomb or a full gauge to spare.
Cue five completely stupid deaths to Chiyuri in five perfectly winnable rounds, with Chiyuri burning both her bombs early pretty much every time, getting hitting from nowhere, etc. I even managed to die twice with one bomb remaining, once with a full gauge on top of that.
-
Died on QED with about 10-15% of its health left. I had 0/0 going into it, and miraculously survived the last 20-ish seconds of And Then Will There Be None with 0/0 as well. It's the only extra stage I have left to clear. =(
-
OoooooooooooooooohMYGOD
It's around one out of every thirty tries that even gets to Marisa, and nine out of 10 of those are OHLOLDEATHBOMBSUXTOBEYOU
I've gotten to Reimu twice. TWICE in at least a few hundred tries. And the second time, just now? I died to her first and second bullets.
WHAT THE CRAP GODDAMNIT ALREADY CRAP ENOUGH
-
IN in general. It's about as bad as PC98 and StB.
Because of the goddamn bombing system.
It's easily the best game when you are starting off, but once you develop some bombing reflexes, it sucks hard, as it would be a normal deathbomb somewhere else, but even 0,00001 seconds off and you are wasting 2 bombs instead of 1.
Oh yeah, and you would normally bomb a bit more if there weren't deathbombs and nearly every card is complete wallshit or it's a complete clusterfuck with 3 pixels of safety.
-
Wait! What did you say!!! Never box IN together with a silly PC98 game!!
Consuming two bombs instead of just one is very annoying yes but you are well compensated for it. Since you can basically death-bomb with a 100% consistency in this game, it means that you can relax, play as well as you can and only bomb if you actually fail.
In pretty much any Touhou game might easily end up wasting a lot of bombs because you were afraid you were gonna get hit but in fact wouldn't.
There is nothing more annoying than failing to bomb so IN really is awesome in that way since its not really a problem.
But look at me go... i know how you are feeling! RAGE AWAY!!!
-
Wait! What did you say!!! Never box IN together with a silly PC98 game!!
Run, donut's here :V
Even the UFO lunatic patterns seem less tight than some IN ones.
In a normal shmup, if you see a hard spot, you bomb.
IN makes you think "oh I'll just deathbomb then" and waste 2 bombs on every goddamn pattern.

IN's patterns are denser, but they're also slow as shit. And UFO's patterns are more heavily randomized than IN's.
Also, deathbombing is for Touhou players, don't ever do it.

Deathbombing gives you that false sense of security which makes you clip everything.
I mean, in a diff shmup, say Dodonpachi(which has zero deathbomb time), you wouldn't do a near-impossible dodge with 6 bombs in stock.
In IN, you can just say fuck it, I'll waste 2 bombs at most of I fail.

Deathbombing
Goddamnit.

Indeed.
I need to play more shmups which don't have any deathbombing....DDP improved my bombing quite a lot.

Freaking SA.
I reach stage 5 with 2 lives (normal), then do a pretty good run at that particular stage. Entering stage 6 with 1 life and some parts, get a 2nd life from Orin so reached Utsuho with 2 lives.
Then I make the most retarded death on the first card (I hit a nuke which was about to exit the screen cause I moved to far right to misdirect), die on the 2nd noncard (SURPRISE tight bullets) then one of those I'll completely fill the screen with nukes now and hide my bullets inside moments on 2nd spellcard
sigh.... :(
-
In IN, you can just say fuck it, I'll bomb before anything gets even close to my hitbox.
Fixed.

*ranting about how tough Shuusou Gyoku Normal mode is*
...What. I just tried it, the majority of it makes IN Easy look sadistic, unless it's supposed to be ten times faster or something. Although, the game did go super speed for the stage 3 boss, as well as stage 4 and some of the stage 6 boss... Just to get an idea of the speed the game is for you, does player VIVIT feel closer to like you're playing sleepy Yuka, or like Aya at Illusionary Dominance speed?

Apparently playing the game at 60fps on some computers causes massive slowdown in a lot of parts. Try playing at 30 and see if that changes anything.

In my defense, I had no idea what Drawmode was, and it showed Japanese characters instead of any "##fps" on that field with the settings it was on... Uh, anyway, thanks x:

Goddamn you people and your youtube
I went to try another run
just now I got to Reimu 3/2, personal best
died three times in a row with two bombs in stock to her first phase
go to hell, all of you
-
What the shit. So it seems that now my copy of SG has fucked up music. To be more precise, none of the percussion tracks are playing. Restarting the game isn't fixing anything... The Hell? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY GAME DONUT.
And on an unrelated note... after playing story mode for the first time in a long while... I actually think I might be able to perfect stage 4 Lunatic in the near future. That'l have to wait in a week or two though.

Azinth.
You die.
Now.
Also, a good 2 hours later, I'm saying screw it for the night. Possibly forever.

My skills are almost gone. I've just tried VoWG with 3 deaths and 6 bombs.
The last bomb was done RIGHT as Kanako was exploding.
The background suddenly disappeared.
And I SWEAR I SAW KANAKO'S HEAD (like an oversized cut-in) AT THE BOTTOM-RIGHT CORNER OF THE SCREEN FOR A BRIEF SECOND. Probably a bug. Too bad I couldn't take the picture in time.
Dang ... didn't save the replay either >.>

Yeah, happened to me too once....I was like wtf :V
-
Another attempt at perfecting PCB Stage 3 Lunatic. It was going amazingly well, captures of all Alice's attacks and no difficulty on the stage at all.
Then my keyboard messed up right before capturing Alice's last card and made me fly straight into a bullet.
:(
-
Died five times with two bombs in stock on stage 4 and 5 UFO lunatic with Reimu A, ruining my six life two bomb float at the end of Ichirin. Didn't recover enough lives/bombs to get through Byakuren on one credit. Zzzzzz

Windows 7 >:(
I wish I could have gotten a new computer that still had XP. Vista and this are complete suck and fail. The stupid thing is giving me crap when I'm trying to install stuff, it says I need administrator privileges to put files in certain spots and disallows it despite me being administrator. I just want to get this damn thing working so I can play again.
Is there any way to disable all these stupid protections? It's not like I'm stupid and will screw up my computer without these. All this is doing is preventing me from doing what I want with my computer.
I want to see how this quad core, 6 GB of RAM, and Nvidia card work out, but this OS is being a complete *****.

My quad core, 6GB RAM, and Nvidia card would like to tell you they work great. :V
But in regards to your problem, I can't help because Windows 7 likes me and would never separate me from my Touhous. I'm sure it's probably a really simple fix under Administrator Tools or something though. Best of luck getting it to work either way.
-
At least I've got IN up and running now. Just need to do it with the others. Mainly need to test SA and UFO more as well. Also see how it works with recording. I wonder how well Fraps will work since I don't have a second hard drive. Not sure if I could just put it on some other storage device and have it work though.
Oh crap, Mokou's actually difficult at always full speed. All my previous clears had mass slowdown, so it'll take a while for me to pull a legit clear. I need to redo the PC98 Extras as well since I had slowdown issues with them, but my other clears were legit.
Edit: maybe not that bad. Just got to Fujiyama Volcano on an attempt where I got a bomb instead of a life from the death fairy. And her last 2 normal spellcards are easy.

I know what being sick of restarting the game is like :V Deep Mountain felt like a drill in my skull after a while...
-
I've restarted after that.
First time I've captured Table Turning too :V
PCB really seems like the easiest Lunatic.
EDIT: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF MoF
the 2 stages are completely evil
died 4 times in st1-2
-
I always found Table Turning a lot more challenging than Lingering Cold. :V I seem to remember getting walled pretty often by both when going for my 1cc, though... Table Turning is pretty dense for a Stage 1 card.
PCB really seems like the easiest Lunatic.
EDIT: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF MoF
IMO it's the 4th easiest, after SoEW, LLS and MoF. MoF seems really hard at first, but it's very much just a matter of memorizing what happens and not being afraid to bomb the crap out of everything, especially in Stage 4 (which is a designated bombspam stage since it's pretty much the hardest part of the game).
And restart-related rage: I always restart if I enter UFO Stage 3 with less than 4.5 spare lives. This becomes a problem when most of my runs don't do that. My Busy Rod history is up to 211/242. Contrast this with my King Kraken Strike history, which is 1/23.
If I see that fucking mouse ONE MORE TIME...
-
hahaha what
blindly no death'd stage 5 MoF lunatic
it's way too easy for st5
On the other hand, st2 is rape. Same for st1 boss. And pretty much anything except for st5 and 6.
EDIT: WAIT WHAT
2nd no death st5 in a row
this time went perfect all the way past Art of Danmaku, also captured Takeminakata and her final(which is also too easy)
this isn't st5 and definitely not lunatic
-
My Busy Rod history is up to 211/242. Contrast this with my King Kraken Strike history, which is 1/23.

Oh, to get to this point! It'll be soon! I've got 130 tries on Busy Rod and then 50 tries on Nazrin's first boss card. 20 tries on Kogasa's rainbow first card. I ragequit restart if I die at all on stages one and two, and if I die more than once on stage three.
:(

You two? Its why I so rarely get past stage 2, these days. :V

I am getting absolutely sick of this stupid key remapper malfunctioning. Roughly 10% of my deaths over the past few weeks (when I'm not doing no-vertical) are due to me actually messing up. The rest are due to my remapper malfunctioning and making my character fly into bullets or not actually move. It's incredibly fucking frustrating and nothing I've tried works. All the remappers I try do this, I bought a numpad and it's actually a thousand times worse, and I won't even be getting a new laptop until mid-December.
I am so sick of having to restart entire runs because of this stupid bug in remapping.
EDIT: THIS STUPID BUG JUST MADE ME LOSE SIX LIVES ON UFO STAGE 4. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-
-
I have the occasional problem where the game will suddenly think I'm holding a certain directional key at all times, and there's nothing I can do to fix it without restarting the game. It's particularly annoying if it happens during a stage 6 boss.
If I could figure out how to replicate it, it would make for some interesting challenges. Half the challenge of a "holding down the entire time" run is selecting the stage and shot type you want.
-
A couple more Kana runs end at Yumemi. Beating her somewhat effortlessly after continuing isn't making me feel any better.
Though the real trouble is, as you'd expect, Chiyuri with her terrifying boss summon. If only I could get to stage 9 with one life to spare.... that should be more than enough.
-
I've seen Marie's final pattern at high rank before, but I think this might be my first time actually seeing it a true Max Rank. It was... awe-inspiring. @_@
For those who haven't seen it or don't care, you know that really easy midboss fairy in MS stage 1 right? Well, imagine that attack but with about twice as many walls, with Kanako's Lunatic opener layered on top of it. That's kinda what it looks like.
-
I always found Table Turning a lot more challenging than Lingering Cold. :V I seem to remember getting walled pretty often by both when going for my 1cc, though... Table Turning is pretty dense for a Stage 1 card.IMO
Table turning is completely static, just remember yourself a path through.

If I see that fucking mouse ONE MORE TIME...
Take my advice, just keep going. I once made it all the way to LFO going into stage 4 2/0. This run included extremely stupid deaths, like dying to Murasa's first spellcard and Byakuren's opener.
Getting through stage 2 without dying is really hard to do anyway.
-
well fuck
perfect UFO extra stage portion
perfect up to blue ufo(not ReimuA friendly)
died at rainbow UFO thanks to being nervous
BS'd by Yorimasa Genzanmi again. The final part sucks >.>
-
Why do I keep dying in such stupid ways? I could definitely 1cc SA Normal with most of the other character types, but I keep messing everything up.
And now I just had a horrible IN Extra run. Sure, I cleared, but only 4 spellcard bonuses. It's not like the slowdown I used to have even affected the spellcards. And the 4 I managed to capture:
Keine's third
Flying Phoenix
Xu Fu's Dimension
Hollow Giant Woo
I messed up every other card in the stage. Oh, and I almost managed to capture Fujiyama Volcano in that run but died. Then I ended up deathbombing on Possessed by Phoenix twice. Then I almost capture Hourai Doll but don't thanks to the lost power from the Fujiyama Volcano death.
-
AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
an almost fucking perfect eosd extra run
died at silent selene
died at royal flare(both deaths were stupid)
then perfect up to catadioptric, panic bomb'd it
died at ATWTBN at the last 3 seconds
CAPTURED Q.E.D.
If I would avoid these 4 retard moments, it would have been a perfect clear.
EDIT: wow fuck this
royal flare death
maze of love death
2x ATWTBN death(walled and then clipped at 1 second)
QED captured. For the SECOND TIME IN A ROW.
4 misses, 0 bombs. Every single miss was retarded.
-
Just lost another IN Lunatic run to Marisa. Or more accurately massive fail against Mystia and Keine.
I hate both of you, and I hate both of your stages as well. If it weren't for being bad at both of these bosses, I could actually get far.
-
I REPEAT, this is why I hate doing no death runs of extra stages! >:( Died to ATWTBN with one second to go, with one bomb in stock. The best part? If I hadn't died and used that bomb where I died again on Q.E.D I would have beaten it. Fuck.
-
Why the hell is Chen tougher than the Prismrivers? Seriously? Sure, Lunasa's second nonspell is nasty, and so is the first spell... And the last two spells, to a degree. However, it's entirely possible to get borders on EVERY SINGLE CARD they have, and Lyrica is about as tough as freaking Letty. Which means that if you do it right, you can easily no death, one bomb them. FREAKING CHEN on the other hand, you're not gonna get a border on more than two spellcards, if that. Which means that, odds are, you're going to have to deal with BOTH of her last two spells. Sure, Crusading Cherub's Rampage isn't THAT tough, but it's still a pain, especially when you waste the border you're going to need on Himontokou on it. At best, I usually use two bombs on her. I have NEVER perfected her. I've had a few one bomb runs, but that's only when I manage to get a border on her final so I can instantly obliterate her with a focused bomb up close. Plus her stage... ARGH!
I'd say that Alice is even worse, but, like the Prismrivers, it's possible to get borders on all of her cards. Which means that the only really tough attack you're really likely to have to deal with is the first part of her opener. But if you dodge that, then you can simply finish her before you're in danger when the cycle repeats, and go on to no death, no bomb her.
tl;dr: WHY THE FREAKING HELL IS CHEN THE TOUGHEST BOSS IN THE FIRST FOUR STAGES OF PCB LUNATIC?!
-
Bomb Chen. 1 life is nothing in PCB - I've died on Kimontonkou with 2 bombs and went on and finished with 4 lives.
-
I REPEAT, this is why I hate doing no death runs of extra stages! >:( Died to ATWTBN with one second to go, with one bomb in stock. The best part? If I hadn't died and used that bomb where I died again on Q.E.D I would have beaten it. Fuck.
Getting that far proves you can do it. You're almost there, keep going~
Maybe I should apply this advice to myself and stop ragequitting with UFO. >_<
-
No Sapz, you don't get it. I know I'm capable of this, I have been for many months. I just don't WANT to do it because it's not FUN. I'm sure I'll pull it off eventually, but I'm never going to make a concentrated effort on it.
Speaking of which, here's a challenge for you: Perfect EoSD extra while focus dancing to the music (i.e, focus and unfocus in time to the notes of the song, not just the tempo). :P Miss 20% or more beats and you have to start over.
-
UFO Hard Gameover on St.Nikou's Air Scroll. When I had a bomb left, and it was nearly finished. And when I can often capture LFO.
BLARGH
at least I can usually reach Byakuren now ;-;

Don't give me hilariously fun-sounding challenges while I'm trying to beat UFO, it's so tempting to just stop with UFO and start on that. ;_;

GODDAMNIT
Perfect through Gates...who then kills me twice; I lose FIVE BOMBS in stock. Game over on Marie, AGAIN.
WHAT THE HELL ALREADY GODDAMNIT GODDAMNIT GODDAMNIT
-
EoSD Normal (trying to 1cc)
Stage 1: Perfect
Rumia: Perfect
Stage 2: 1 bomb (for score and power)
Cirno 2 DEATHS AHFAH
Stage 3: One Death
Meiling: 2 DEATHS FFFFFFFF
Stage 4: Perfect :3
Patchouli: 2 deaths
So I stumble into stage 5 with no lives or bombs left.
I get to stage 6
I die to the first bullet onscreen
-
Shoot, almost beat UFO extra no deaths. I would have won if I had gotten that last green UFO in the stage.

Still having problems with Rainbow UFO?
-
Attempted continue spam through UFO Lunatic with Reimu A has ended after 3 hours. The following rant was heavily edited.
Byakuren is ****ing impossible. Apart from her opener, her third nonspell (which slows down my computer to 55fps which is enough to dodge it, I'm not proud) and Devil's Recitation, I cannot do ANY of her attacks.
- Nirvana's Cloudy Way is hitbox-tastic, so it's an autobomb.
- I have no idea how to do her second nonspell. I've tried everything. It's just too fast.
- I never bothered learning the movements for Magic Butterfly and always winged it, but every time I don't bomb it it's LOL CLIPDEATH.
- Magic Milky Way is like Aura of Justice, going from a Kindergarten level spellcard to a nightmare.
- Her fourth non-card is just urgh.
- I've been robbed blind of a Superhuman capture 3 times by her "charging up" effect covering the bullets so I can't see what the hell I'm dodging.
- And the one occasion I got to LFO, I died on the second phase to one of four different bullets. No idea which, they all just cluster****ed me and I died. This was on the one occasion I got to Byakuren 2/5. Every other attempt was 2/4 or worse, and I think I died to every possible thing in that stage *including* Nue ramming me on the way in.
The stupidest thing is, I've captured Nirvana's Cloudy Way in Purple during this run. That spell is supposed to be complete BS but on my first serious attempt at it (since I had no bombs), I captured it. And my Complete Clarification history is currently 1/1, which was my only time capturing it after an hour long marathon of Stage 5. I can capture all the LOL BULLETS nonsense but as soon as something simple like Magic Butterfly starts up it's LOL CLIPDEATH. Not to mention the 20 times I died before "Stage 6 blah blah blah" appeared on the screen, causing a seppuku restart.
I want to beat UFO Lunatic. I honestly do. But I can't beat the last boss with a start of 2/5 when according to another topic, 3/0 is supposed to be enough. And this is apparently TONED DOWN according to Zun. This is just stupid and unfun bull****.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCUPMt-SUiM
Replace all mentions of "Birdo" with "Byakuren".
I need a drink.
-
...Is this some sort of cruel joke? Two runs in a row, I reach the last five seconds of Resurrection Butterfly. First time, I mess up and kill myself on a bullet trying to get to a cherry item, which, come to think of it, probably wouldn't have gotten me the border. Next time, I survive the last red butterfly wave... AND GET A BUBBLE BULLET TO THE FACE! Game over.
-
Denied a no-focus, no-vertical capture of "End of Imperishable Night -Rising World-" at "00" seconds remaining for the fourth and fifth time.
brb murdering some kittens

It isn't that hard....took me less than an afternoon :V

I repeat: I don't like doing no death challenges for extra due to their length.
The attack is very hard if you're not using someone like Marisa A or Sanae B. :[

More attempts at PoDD lunatic with Kana mean I can now reasonably take on Chiyuri's boss summon provided the screen doesn't get instafilled with lasers - even the EVERYTHING SPAM attack mixed with a lvl2/3 stream is doable about 50% of the time.
And that's still not enough to reliably beat her.
-
What the hell...? T_T This game hates me... I head toward the edge of the screen, where I see nothing but a bullet that's barely on it anymore, just the very edge of the sprite. It somehow kills me. When there is LITERALLY NO FREAKING WAY ITS SPRITE COULD HAVE EVEN TOUCHED MY HITBOX!
EDIT: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm FREAKING SICK of stage 2 on PCB Lunatic! SICK OF IT!

How many deaths do you have like this? Because I've probably had at least a hundred, or several hundred, deaths by now where I die with bombs in stock because the game doesn't register that I hit the bomb key BEFORE the bullet made contact. Do you know what that's like when the deathbomb time is unquestionablyLONGER THAN THE DEATH SOUND?! I know, for a FACT, that I hit bomb before the bullet hits sometimes, even as Reimu B, and it doesn't work. And yet when I only know I died because I hear the deathsound, I hit the key AFTER the deathsound has finished, and it works.
EDIT: ...Speaking of stupid crud, my computer suddenly glitched, and it acted like I had the down arrow held. The freaky part? I thought I felt some sort of force dragging me down immediately before I realized that Reimu was moving weirdly. What. The. Hell?

Probably in the thousands.
PCB was bad enough before I got the VSync patch, but SG...I've lost THIRTY PERCENT OF ALL RESOURCES in one hit. That's roughly the same as dying THREE TIMES with FULL BOMBS in PCB...in one hit...when I'm hammering the bomb button.
...in one hit.

Hell, thy name is...pellet?
Words cannot completely express just how much rage I have at the pellet hell section from SA Stage 5. Seriously, is this even Normal Mode anymore? Even though there appears to be less pellets here than on Lunatic, the difference looks quite small from what I've seen. And for someone as inexperienced as I am, it honestly feels like the game is sneaking elements of Lunatic level play into my Normal Mode. There's just too many bullets around for someone like me to handle it even semi-consistently. This is perhaps the only thing truly standing in the way of a perfect run - and by the way, I hate falling "just short" on anything, let alone this. It's killing me more often than any of Orin's attacks - hell, even her last non-spell feels easier than this monstrosity. I can only pray that, at least on Normal, this doesn't become harder than capturing Satori's "Double Black Death Butterfly". If that happened, I fear it probably wouldn't be worth the trouble anymore.
-
If you're really suicidal enough to want to perfect stage 5, time out Orin's attacks to shorten the length of that section.
-
If you're really suicidal enough to want to perfect stage 5, time out Orin's attacks to shorten the length of that section.
My definition of a perfect run includes not trivializing any attacks, hence no timing out when possible (or teleporting for that matter, but I digress). Granted, I don't know how well I'll be able to hold up these standards on certain parts of Stage 5 Lunatic (though it'll be a while before I can even test that). But when I know the situation I'm in can be much worse, regardless of how tough it is already, making it practically a non-issue just doesn't seem worth it.
-
I was almost ready to try UFO again. I tried a practice run of stage 6.
That was more than enough to remind me how much I hate UFO and have no desire to ever touch the game.
I'm angrier than usual right now, and I'll probably get over it, but GODDAMN IT I hate UFO so much.
-
Doublepost because this one needs its own:
I have very rarely been reduced to rage so potent I cannot speak.
I just spent about a minute solid choking, hissing, sputtering, and doing everything short of roaring at the top of my lungs. A WHOLE MINUTE.
That is how badly I am playing tonight. I'm playing with maybe - MAYBE - as much skill as when I started playing, over a year ago. Everything is the most unbelievable CRAP. I am shaking with enough fury to put my fist through the brick and cement wall next to me, and the only thing stopping me is the fact that I like sleeping at night, and it's cold.
GOD
DAMN
IT
-
I've been worse. I remember clawing at my own skin at my most rageful.
Maybe what you need is to stop using Touhou reflexes for SG. Bomb like you would in SoEW: Don't even give the bullets a chance to come close to hitting you.

how the fuck is MarisaB useful
she doesn't have any good frontal damage formation
blazing wheel got down to 10 seconds before I clipped it
full power, right under her

3) The rest
somebody give me a score.dat with Extra for MariB before I shoot myself
It's not worth it. I don't even have Reimu C or Marisa A/C unlocked due to the score.dat I did those with is being on my old computer. :\ Why would you want to unlock extra anyway? You already know how effective shotgun is on Embers of Love: None. :V :V :V

Why is it ineffective :V
Also, Koishi just denied a Danmaku Paranoia capture to me.
She simply pushed me all the way to the wall with still having 1/3 of life left.

Marisa B = Ineffective
Therefore, what makes you think it would be useful on Embers of Love?

You can stay pretty much under her for 10 seconds or so.
I'd like to see how much will Wood shotgun take off during that period.

Any advice for someone who just cannot get past stage 5? I'm lucky if I can get to Shou with any lives left, and oh geez it's all over once I hit the green rotatey laser card. I am having a really difficult time making heads or tails of the bullet confetti during most of the stage, and I'm also probably the world's worst UFO catcher :'(
What shottype is the most newbie friendly?
-
Homing types are generally the most newbie-friendly, so maybe Reimu B?
As for tips for an easy-modo player...
You know that UFOs always come out the same way from the same enemies, right? You can use this to memorize a route.
Also, take note of attacks that are "static," or are the same every time. Syou's spinning lasers card for example has the bullets shot out come out the same way every time, so memorizing their pattern can make maneuvering much easier.
If you're having trouble on stage 5, do your best to grab as many green UFOs as possible. It's feasible to get something like 5 extra bombs without a lot of effort.
-
What shottype is the most newbie friendly?
Probably SanaeB thanks to the gigantic shotgun.
Most of the stage can be memorized so almost no dodging is involved....atleast on the lower difficulties.
-
Maybe watching replays will help? Here's my old UFO Easy no deaths run (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=4840) as Sanae B. Though really, the strategy is basically to bomb anything you have trouble with on what I did. Also pay attention to how different attacks work, something that's tough when you don't know how to do it can become really easy once you do.

You should be able to stick the file in your UFO replays folder, then access it from the game itself.
Also, tried EoSD Hard, and did fairly well until I started a rash of panicbombing, starting with Diamond Blizzard. Stage 4 subsequently kicked my butt all over again. >_<
-
...you know that makes perfect sense. I for some crazy reason thought it was some sort of standalone video player whosawhatsit I needed. I will check that out next time I boot up the Touhous and hopefully my next post will be in the Accomplishments thread and not this one :V
-
Also note that you can upload replays in the same way from that site. Just select the upload option, select the replay from your replay file in the corresponding game, put in a bit of information and you're set.

Question: After a couple weeks of playing IN normal and extra, will I finally be able to get my two missing UFO easy 1ccs?
Answer: Nope. Game over on, of all things, stage 6 Nue spam.....
*wonders if this belongs in "Most Embarrassing Moments" instead ....*
-
Mystia is way too damn easy to make mistakes on, Keine is an evil boss, and I still can't figure out stage 4's stage parts. Marisa is actually mostly fair.
I want to at least get to stage 5 or 6 of Lunatic.
-
I got Rainbow UFO Invasion ALL THE WAY to 7 seconds D:<

YORIMASA GENZANMI FFFFFFFFFFF

...Seriously, I hate my computer. I see one of Cirno's lasers coming straight toward me, plenty of room to move, I hit the arrow key to the left about a half second before I get hit... AND I STILL GET HIT! IT DIDN'T MOVE ME! WHAT THE HELL WHAT THE FREAKING HELL I NEED A NEW COMPUTER!
-
Failed Green UFO. 2 times.

And Gates just killed me with full bombs again. Twice.
I swear I am going to break something.

I screwed up Nightmare of Heiankyou....that is rageworthy IMO.
Completely got lost on the final laser grid.
-
EX KOGASA CAN GO DIE IN A FUCKING FIRE
fuuuuuuuck
Yorimasa Genzanmi failed at like 1 second left
-
Just tried doing a CtC lunatic 1cc.
Actually made it all the way to Reimu's second spellcard before I lost my last life. I probably would have made it too if I hadn't died on Youmu's opener, TWICE.
But holy hell, Reimu is hard. She has more autobombs than Byakuren has, but without the ability to farm bombs on stage 6. D:
Did I mention she has an attack which is similar to Mokou's rings of doom?
-
Lost another Lunatic IN run at Marisa. This time on Shoot the Moon. Why must I fail at Mystia and Keine so damn much? Not only that, I actually messed up boss Marisa's first card somehow, as well as the first half of the stage. Oh, and I had a stupid death with bombs in stock after midboss Keine.
If I could actually get good at the Mystia and Keine fights, I could probably 1cc this as Reisen is mostly easy, and I would actually be able to have a decent life stock for the final bosses if I didn't mess up the stages.
-
@_@ SA Hard... What the hell is this? Yamame's final is actually tough, and though I will say that Parsee is still pretty easy, once I reach stage 3, it... It... WHAT THE HELL?!
-
Why did I just die there? There wasn't a bullet there, Koishi. I know you can mess with me, but there simply wasn't anything there. Why am I dead?
-

Have you ever been pushed all the way to the wall by Danmaku Paranoia? On full power? :V
Also, Yorimasa Genzanmi and Blue UFO.
-
Tried IN Lunatic... WHAT THE HELL?! @_@
-
More Kana failures despite playing much, MUCH better than in all my Reimu 1ccs.
I completely out-bullshitted Chiyuri twice for who knows how long while dodging her undodgeable bullshit barrages perfectly and she still beat me by exhaustion, because I can only go for so long without blinking. I'm drained from that one single run for tonight.
Also STOP DYING TO ELLEN GODDAMNIT
-
Almost no missed IN stage 3 on Lunatic in practice but died on fucking Pseudo History, yeah the one that can be micromemorized because I had it memorized for Border Team and I didn't kill the card due to using a different team.
Not that I'd have the 4-5 bombs needed to pull it off in an actual run due to the fact I can't get anywhere near perfecting Mystia due to some of her bullshit attacks and the fact that it would require a no bomb run of the stage part which I usually mess up on.
-
Yamame's final is actually tough
I don't know if all the bullets are static, but staying slightly above the bottom and slightly off-center during the latter half of each of the first two waves (slow then fast) seems to work for me.
and though I will say that Parsee is still pretty easy
True.
once I reach stage 3, it... It... WHAT THE HELL?!
Let me guess. Lasers? Yuugi's second spell? Any of her three non-spells?
Speaking of SA Stage 3 (and to stay on topic), I don't really find that level any fun to play anymore. I can't say I liked it that much to begin with, but now I really despise it (even more than the bore-fest that is Stage 1). Lasers are not fun. Both music pieces aren't that good either. And don't get me started on Yuugi. Needless to say, I'll only be playing this stage for perfect runs and so I can eventually 1cc Hard and Lunatic (way down the road, that is).
-
PoFV lunatic
Shiki no-focus, no-vertical
When you get to Aya, the game realizes what you're up to and every time you're hit you're bounced upwards
Cue consecutive game overs at Komachi after losing six lives over stages 7 and 8
-
I think I've figured out why Yuugi's first card exists. It's so that if you're low on power, you either have to expend another bomb, give up the life fragment, or die to get the life fragment, which completely defeats the point.
-
You know Pahntasmagoria can be considered one of the hardest touhou games ever.
I know what you're thnking. Sure it's not just because the patterns are all inherently random. It's not just the godly dodging scripts. And it can't jsut be the game crashing every time you press pause. No...
The random patterns aren't a problem as my reflexes are okay, and the game crahsing every time I press pause is tolerable, but I'd like it to stop.
No it's the AI. ZUN's AI, even on easy mode shifts between two states.
The Drunken God State
Dodges literally everything I throw at them no matter how difficult it would be for a human player to do the same. Can stay on this mode for 5+ minutes while at the same time pressuring you.
The Simply Drunk State
Gets hit by literally everything and moves erratically for short periods of time. Usually enough to get knocked down to 2 and a half or one half lives. Then immediately switches to Drunken God state for the remainder of the battle.
Shikeiki, you've got to stop doing that!! :'(
Surprisingly, my play style in POFV also sometimes fits this pattern.
-
AHAHAHAHAHWHATTHEHELL?!!!!!!! I'm gapping on Parsee's first card to get back over by her. I die before I even get on the screen again. This is ridiculous.
-
AHAHAHAHAHWHATTHEHELL?!!!!!!! I'm gapping on Parsee's first card to get back over by her. I die before I even get on the screen again. This is ridiculous.
Dying offscreen? I've died gapping into a bullet on the other side, but offscreen? Maybe the bullet's hitbox was right up against the wall...
And is this midboss or boss Parsee? I can't say either one really needs gapping, though.

Boss Parsee. I know that gapping isn't really necessary, but I usually do it anyway, helps me get underneath her again and end the card sooner. I usually screw up and die if I try to weave between the flowers, so going through them to get to her isn't really the best option...
-
WHAT
THE
HELL
I've played the stage literally hundreds of times. I still somehow managed to die multiple times on the stage, as well as on EVERY SINGLE ONE of Kanako's attacks. Yes, even her second noncard, WHICH IS LITERALLY TAP RIGHT, TAP LEFT, REPEAT. EVEN MAD DANCE. The best VoWG timeout was EIGHT DEATHS
AND THAT TOOK ALMOST AN HOUR OF TRYING

I rarely get through anything in this game without a dozen continues.
I'd suggest you wait a day on it...trying again and again on the same thing won't lead to better results...
Wait a day and try again...

does ANYONE know how to handle Grudge Bow?
-
does ANYONE know how to handle Grudge Bow?
I honestly wish I had better advice than "move when a bullet is about to hit you". The only thing I could possibly think of other than that is that, as a card with crossing patterns, quickly analyzing the paths of the bullets and finding their intersections is a good way to find the safe points (by which I mean, passing through bullets just before or just after they intersect). However, I don't know how much this will actually help when you're reading it on the fly. It's a fast-paced card that doesn't follow a symmetrical pattern, unlike, say, Suwako's slow and very organized final card. I'm not even sure this is how my mind works when I read the card. It's a dodging card: simple as that. Trying to explain my train of thought for a raw dodging card is like trying to explain how I walk or breathe. I just do it.
Take from this post what you will.
-
Deathbombed once on Mystia, had a mostly good Keine, then I die right before boss Marisa right after getting the 2 extra bombs, then I die to her opener twice.
At least I finally made it to stage 5, just to game over on the first enemy.
-
Take from this post what you will.
It always seems to intersect everywhere and all the time.
What helped me a bit is macrododging the first huge wave(IIRC there come some single waves and then a double one) then just trying to finish her off before you clip something.
It's kind of like Peerless Wind God, except that the bullets come from a greater angle.
EDIT: Tried to go for timeout runs on Grudge Bow, lasted for 20 seconds on one life.
It indeed goes single/double and the first double wave comes rather early.
-
OK, OK, I may have been unfair. UFO is not the worst-designed Touhou game after SoEW.
It's EVEN WORSE.
I know I'm playing like utter crap this week, but if it takes me around 50 tries JUST TO GET TO BOSS NAZRIN, who I then GAME OVER ON as Pendulum Guard is clearing...and this is just stage 1...
-
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
NUE NEARLY PERFECT FIGHT(one useless bomb at the third nonspell which did nothing anyways)
guess which spellcard did I miss
GRUDGE FUCKING BOW OF THE YORIMASA MOTHERFUCKING GENZANMI
FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF
THIS IS THE WORST FUCKING SPELLCARD IN THE ENTIRE SERIES
-
Now I just game overed on the enemies before Tewi. Yet again, 3 stupid deaths before and during boss Marisa.
-
So I've tried Q.E.D. to find out how consistent I am on that.
Captured on my second attempt, 2 captures in a row before that(and that failure was a stupid twitch)
Nue's final is definitely the hardest EX final so far.
-

When did badly designed come to mean difficult? >_>
Also, Grudge Bow is pure dodging. It rather reminds me of a mid-game StB card if you had to defeat it instead of taking pictures of it. I find it fun personally~
-
The UFO system is crap, plain and simple. That is all.
Also: I knew the run wasn't going anywhere when Mima, on stage 1, STARTED THE ROUND with summon paralysis spam, but...why did I come just short of clearing Rikako on my first life, but go down in about 30 seconds on the second?
On a better note, Kotohime's bomb is awesome.
-
The UFO system is crap, plain and simple. That is all.
It's designed to kill you. You have to chase them down and collect them while they're the right color, before they get off the screen, ALL WHILE DODGING INSANE AMOUNTS OF UTTER STUPIDITY! Oh, and midbosses like to come in while you're chasing them, and wipe out the top half of the screen.
EDIT: Speaking of things that are designed to kill you, I am convinced that EVERY SINGLE ASPECT of PoFV is designed to utterly destroy the player. When facing Sakuya, I got hit by a white bullet that was moving way too freaking fast, and at an angle where it had to have come from off of the screen toward me. Then Aya... WHY THE HELL DID I JUST DIE THREE TIMES?! She lasts WAY too long, and the white bullets are cursed so that no matter what I do, they, inevitably, WILL end up overlapping precisely with my hitbox. Never even a single pizel off. No, seriously, those things are quite literally evil, and I am absolutely convinced that there is an actual curse involved with them.
-
Funny, because I've found that if you plan things out you can usually chain safely when there are few bullets in your way. It also takes a bit of common sense: If there's a UFO you need to make a UFO appear, and it's surrounded by dense clouds of danmaku, you should NOT risk life and limb for it. >_>
What IS unplayable is CtC. I mean WTF this is terrible. The input lag is so bad Marisa can fly three character lengths to the right before the game registers my input to turn left, bullets all have very unforgivable hitboxes, even the "how many points this point item got you" obscure gameplay (I mean come on, what made them think transclucent boxes around the point value was a good idea?), and the game gives you like two seconds of death invulnerability, leading to you dying again before you can even grab your falling power items. For some reason people have always been telling me I should 1cc this on lunatic, and I'm now wondering if it was as some cruel joke.
-
theshim: You game over'd on Nazrin? Wtf? That stage 1 isn't even the hardest in the series, that honour goes to SA Stage 1.
...Do you even have a UFO route? Honestly, a good portion of the stage can be cancelled out by spawning and killing UFOs at certain times.
Oh, and SoEW have bullets larger than their sprite. So yeah.
Edit: Oh right, Nazrin. Midboss spell isn't that bad(standard fair, imo). First spell isn't trivial, but it's completely fair. Second spell is painful if you're not MarisaA or SanaeB, but you can just bomb it. Or micromemorize it. Non-spells shouldn't be a problem.
-
The thing with Nazrin is that the non-spells are generally easy and then nazrin pendulum gets you killed.
Usually I end up just weaving through nazrin's non-spells and then frog nuking the spellcards.
Unfortunatley that means I die to the world's most dangerous umbrella later.
And stage 2 is just horrible for getting UFO's.
What can be said about the UFO system has already been said. Personally I love the part where I get hit die and then asecond later mash the bomb button. Yes, I cannot get deathbomb timing for the life of me.
As for POFV, I'll repost my analysis of it from the previous page.
What makes the game hard is the AI and the random bullet patterns.
ZUN's AI, even on easy mode shifts between two states.
The Drunken God State
Dodges literally everything I throw at them no matter how difficult it would be for a human player to do the same. Can stay on this mode for 5+ minutes while at the same time pressuring you.

Shikeiki, you've got to stop doing that!!
Surprisingly, my play style in POFV also sometimes fits this pattern.
Must be why I only ever beat it once...
That could also be attributed to the game crashing every time I pause.
:'(
Is there a fix for that?
-
So I finally got to Utsuho on Hard. Two stupid deaths on Orin's last card and one on Blazing Wheel meant I got there 0 lives, game overed with no power on Giga Flare (almost capped it, too). Also almost timed out Vengeful Cannibal Spirit with no power - clipped one of the ghosts with 4 seconds left.
So why is this in the rage thread?
Because after a solid hour of continuespam, I still couldn't beat Utsuho. I only got to Subterranean Sun once.
It's like Utsuho has, in addition to Nuclear Fusion, the power of Input Lag. Over and over and over I found myself screaming "I BOMBED" at the top of my lungs, or "I PUSHED LEFT/RIGHT/ETC." OVER AND OVER AND GODDAMN OVER. WHAT THE HELL. I think I died with 0 power twice during the entire hour. Maybe only once. I'm not sure.
-

Sounds like something that would happen to me.
-
Happens to me too. I view it as a discrepancy between mental and physical reflexes. A basic example would be when you touch something hot. Your brain registers the pain slightly before you're able to physically jerk your hand away - in other words, your brain operates faster than your appendages. I see the same idea in Touhou, where you see yourself about to be hit and your intention is to bomb (either before the hit or during the deathbomb period), but you die before your able to move your finger into the bomb button.
I guess one factor that determines your success rate for a "panicbomb" is how much time you actually have between you registering the danger and you getting hit (this is independent of whether or not you notice just how long that time is). If you decide at the last second you're being walled, you may not be able to pull off a bomb.
-
I am bloody well aware of how reflexes work. I am simply pissed off that after beating five Lunatics I'm still having trouble with DEATHBOMBING this week. It's phenomenally annoying, and it's making it VERY hard to make any sort of progress.
(...and don't even get me started on Shuuso Gyoku...)

What about when you KNOW, for a FACT that you hit the key before you even got hit, AND IT DOESN'T WORK?! That happens to me ALL THE TIME, even in PCB as Reimu B, who has an absurdly long deathbomb time. Though I will admit that I haven't had any problems on spellcards in IN unless I was just sitting there stunned for a second or so :V Not spellcards... That's a different story <_<
-
Hell, I still have problems deathbombing sometimes.
1 death VoWG timeout. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6373)
Why is it in the rage thread? It's because you'll never guess how I died.
-
EX KOGASA
LIGHTLY FALLING EXTREMELY LARGE HITBOXES
SHITWALL TYPHOON
broke 2 more wheels on my chair just now
-
So I decided to try to capture Grudge Bow with MarisaB right? After the complete bullshit known as Red UFOs and Blue UFOs with lolMarisaB (also the game bugged out and thought I was holding down right for a few seconds during Undefined Darkness), I somehow made it to Grudge Bow...AND THEN DIED AS IT WAS EXPLODING.
-
See, Bananamatic understands why I dislike special challenges for extra stages. :V Question, have you ever actually captured Grudge Bow?
BTW, for deathbombing, I death bomb so well by recognizing the danger before it happens and deathbombing before it reaches me. I do still pull off death bombs from the sound alone, but it is more uncommon.
-
AAAGGHGHGAGHAGGHHHH
160m before Nue.
Failed Danmaku Chimera at the last moment.
Same for Rainbow UFO. WTF.
Everything else captured.
GRUDGE BOW CAPTURED
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
320m
but still
FUUUUUUUUCK
-
Absolutely horrible run of EoSD Hard. >_<
I knew I should have quit when I died to Rumia's boss opener, but I just had to keep going and do that same thing against Cirno and Meiling. At least I captured Rainbow Wind Chime this time...
-
I DIED ON EX KOGASA'S LAST CARD
-
It went from one of my best IN extra runs, to absolutely horrendous. 4 Deathbomb, 3 Deaths on Deathless "Xu Fu's Dimension". I can normally capture it easily too.
-
IN Lunatic. Got all the way to Eirin's 3rd nonspell.
On the next continue, I've cleared the rest without dying even once.
-
I'd still be more comfortable going after Kaguya. Eirin has 4 BS spells, and Kaguya only has 3. Not counting Last Spells.
If we count nonspells as well, then Kaguya is definitely the fairer boss. Eirin is the only boss that I've had kill me due to a familiar spawning a bullet on me. No other boss has ever BS'd me like that since it's not supposed to happen. Lots of BS with Keine though. Keine just sucks.
Still, Eirin's third nonspell is better than my best(Kaguya's first nonspell)
Edit: And Marisa sucks as a boss too. Those gaps in the nonspells were not designed with the ghost team in mind. So much clipping.
-
How is MoF the easiest lunatic....
I can't get past Hina without dying 3 times.....EVERYTHING is pretty much an autobomb.
-
How is MoF the easiest lunatic....
I can't get past Hina without dying 3 times.....EVERYTHING is pretty much an autobomb.
Someone on Gamefaqs once said that MoF is the most memorisation-based Lunatic in the series, and they're right. Over half of the game requires you knowing where to be when a given attack is due to start. But, on the other hand, it's all streaming and misdirection. Once you know where to be, it gets a lot easier.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6380
Perfect run replay for you. Lady Ohgane's Fire seems like total BS because the main path is sometimes just a clusterfuck of bullets, but the outside is usually open and you can get through. Broken Charm, on the other hand, is just a *massive* test of pattern-reading and you only have yourself to blame if it all goes wrong.
-
How is MoF the easiest lunatic....
I can't get past Hina without dying 3 times.....EVERYTHING is pretty much an autobomb.
It doesn't matter if everything's an autobomb because the game gives you about 10 of them per life. If I remember correctly, in Veronica's 1cc she used about 25 bombs or so before her first death in stage 5 (which was a suicide for more bombs, lol).
Hina's nonspells are all streaming(the amulets form simple paths if you look hard enough), so the only thing you have to worry about are her spellcards. Get to her with 3 or more power and you have an instant one life clear.
And for the most memorization-based lunatic, I'd actually say that PCB or SA would fit that more, it last at higher levels of play.
-
I've almost reached Aya with ReimuA....even though I've died with almost full bombs a few times.
Almost got IN down, PCB completed....shouldn't be that hard :V
Is ReimuA one of the weakest shottypes?
-
ReimuA is horribly weak. Though you could always play ReimuC if you wanted to make things really fun. I personally recommend ReimuB; stages aren't really the problem (except stage 4, and ReimuA doesn't help with that).
-
I. Hate. Lasers.
MoF Stage 3, Nitori's last spellcard kept blindsiding me. On Normal. And I wasn't even using the more "loose" playstyle I've been practicing since picking this game up.
-
OHLOL GATES JUST KILLED ME TWICE WITH FULL BOMBS
LIKE THAT'S NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE
-
Now that I have UFO Extra unlocked for MarisaA, I'm sure I'll be able to actually make some progress since SanaeA is terrible for it!
Wait, no, I forgot, UFO Extra is still a complete load of shit.
-

Because it's entirely possible to clear with multiple lives remaining even after that. Trust me, I know. ;>_>

Extra and a bunch of stuff is already unlocked in my version so feel free to use this if you want to skip the boring stuff.
Amazing...the creators were so sadistic they apparently made unlocking extra not part of the score/result.dat. ;>_> I have your stages unlocked, spell practice (even ones for extra), but extra is still locked. I'm impressed, really. You'd have to be trying to be this mean.
BTW, White Reimu on lunatic is very disappointing. :\ She's almost the same thing as she is on normal, but a little denser, and a completely bullshit fourth spell card that says "lol full screen solid wall."
-
Because it's entirely possible to clear with multiple lives remaining even after that. Trust me, I know. ;>_>
It's also possible to bombspam your way from midboss Hina onwards and get to VoWG with multiple lives remaining. And then fail horribly because you had been avoiding dodging so much that your skills deteriorated ~90% in half an hour. Trust me, I know. :'(
Now that I think of it, if I had played it one more time I'd have 1cc'ed it for sure since every run was getting progressively (much) better than the previous, but I got so pissed at failing despite entering the Kanako fight with four lives that I never touched MoF again.
Protip: don't get pissed at games you're 99% sure to 1cc on the next attempt! (I did that with lunatic LLS too)

Failed a no deaths UFO extra run because of Blue UFOs of all things. :\
Oh, Banana, guess which spell card I captured no sweat? :V Really, it's okay to be frustrated, but Grudge Bow is fun and fair.

AAAGGHGHGAGHAGGHHHH
Does ANYONE know how to unlock it?
Capture all of Reimu's final cards.
...have fun with that. :V
-
Oh...that hurt. Once again a potentially good LLS run is ruined by me always finding some unique way to screw up and die 3 more times than I should. I'm not complaining (I'm still hoping for the English patch's completion before I get a good run), but one part...
The stage 4 midboss. Baity said that it's essentially impossible on max rank, right? Well, I almost captured it. I had no bombs, I hadn't died yet, and the flurry came. I wasn't expecting to live, I was just weaving randomly...
And I dodged it.
BUT THEN OF COURSE THE VEEEEEERY LAST BULLET THAT WASN'T EVEN CLUSTERED WITH THE OTHERS HIT ME BECAUSE I WAS TOO SHOCKED THAT I HAD LIVED TO NOTICE IT DAMN IT.
The best part? I recorded this, so I could go back and watch my screw up again...and again...and again...

That's awesome...and sucks so hard. I've captured it once and only once and do not think I will ever be able to again. Especially because it's the kind of thing you never even dare to try if you don't get there with no bombs in stock...

Tried SA Lunatic. What... What is this monstrosity...? This is... WHAT?! I'm lucky to escape stage 1 without dying, I'm entirely capable of using all my bombs to the stage. Then we reach stage 2, and Parsee... Parsee is so much worse than Chen it's not even funny >.< And there aren't borders to save me either... Stage 3... Haaaa.... Hahahahahahah... AhahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This... This is so utterly absurd it's just hilarious. What the hell is this insanity?! I have no idea how I managed to reach Yuugi, but game over on her first card. Yes, her first card. How did that happen you ask? It's simple There was a bomb active when the card activated, so I simply went through the front ring, barely damaging it. Then I got trapped by the second ring thrown at me... Managed to destroy it. Used another bomb to get away from the bubbles. It failed miserably. Not only did the existing bubbles not disappear, TWO MORE RINGS TURNED INTO THE FREAKING BUBBLES! I was at 0 power now. Therefore, I died. Ironically, to white dots since I was too far to the left... Gaah...
-
Tried SA Lunatic.
You really didn't need the rest of the post for a rage thread.
Stage 2 and Parsee are not even close to Chen, though. I can reliably perfect both the stage and Parsee proper; the same is not true for that damned cat.
-
Oh hi guys
Guess who got Yumemi down to half a heart, no bombs and two ultra attacks used, playing as Rikako
YOU GUESSED RIGHT, MY FINGERS ARE NUMB, etc
In the same run, the Rikako mirror bugged out when I lost the first round: AI Rikako was using her ultra attack, and Rikako's ultra puts a spinning lvl1 charge around you for the duration. It remained activated for the AI for the entire next round. I still won, but goddamnit ZUN
-
What in the world was ZUN drinking when he designed MoF Stage 4?
Now, this is Normal Mode I'm talking about. Why are all the bullet patterns so dense? This is Normal, for crying out loud. I could understand if this was Hard; it would certainly fit in nicely. But I'm dying on the stage at least as often as I am on any one of Aya's spellcards (take your pick, not much of a difference). Hell, I've already perfected Stage 5 Normal with about an hour of grinding in Practice Mode and beat Stage 6 Normal in Story Mode in half that time. Why must ZUN torture me so?
-
Been there, done that, haven't unlocked it. Seriously.
I heard from a guy once that phantasm "magically" unlocked after he had played the game for long enough, so maybe unlocking extra and phantasm has something to do with game-time? I unlocked extra waaay back in the day, so the requirements for it can't be anything difficult.
Just thinking out loud here. >_>

If you think normal is bad, check out lunatic. It's seriously one of the hardest stages in all of Touhou.
-
And by that you mean Momizi and the part after her are one of the hardest parts in all of Touhou. >_> The rest of the stage isn't anything special.
-

Peerless Wind God wants a word with you.
-
I've seen MoF Lunatic before. Do Momiji's bullets even move that much faster on Lunatic than on Normal? There's more of them, no doubt, but I'm not sure I see them moving faster. And the maze that follows... Now don't quote me on this, but the first impression I get is that the biggest challenge is being able to perform cutbacks to open up spaces in the aimed bullets as you navigate through the maze.
-
Peerless Wind God wants a word with you.
Oh, we're counting Aya? Yes, Aya is a bitch. Peerless Wind God is one of the worst designed spell cards in the series, simply because unlike almost any other card it really is luck-based on whether or not you survive. Her second and third non-spells also make me ashamed to be a donut.

Speaking of donuts..how are aya's onion rings of death on normal.
Strangely MOF is the only touhou game I ever beat.
well on easy mode using HAX sign lasers.
You can't fault me though..I didn't find out about the level 3 unfocused laser bug until stage 6.
And I still don't abuse the lasers...
Sadly I only ever beat Aya again with the hax lasers.
Must practice more...
MarisaB is still my best shot type on that game...
Kanako and her mountain of faith are still mocking me.
The insanity of rainbow cards..even on easy mode...
The insanity!!
-
Kotohime just BS'ed me three times in a row. Standard fare, really. I should expect it. It still pisses me off.
Also, just a friendly tip - don't ever try to play Touhou when your roommate is browsing Audio Atrocities. Being paralyzed with laughter doesn't help your dodging skills much.
-
But that can be a new challenge...
Try to play touhou while paralyzed with laughter.
For even more potential rage
play SA lunatic mode...
I'm personally proud of myself for getting past the bucket girl on that mode.
-
and Mima just killed me twice
on stage 2
y'know
screw you
-
Well, that was..... something.
Just wasted another hour of my life practicing Stage 5 Normal. I say wasted because I feel like I've learned nothing, improved none, and really overall can practically feel my value as a human being gamer drop by the death. Fuck midboss Sakuya, the stage itself if an auto 2-bomb. if not 3. Yes, I'm bombing fucking streaming patterns!
AND THAT'S IF I DON'T DIE!
(Oh, and don't even get me started on my love for Non-directional Lasers, Patchy's another story.)
Now I feel like ordering another game before vacation would be a cop-out, rather than expanding my choices. If EoSD on Normal is that much worse than PCB and IN...
Seriously, how can I not get this stage down? 1-4 got easier within a couple hours (well, the stages at least). It's fucking NORMAL MODE! WHY AM I SO BAD AT THIS?!!!
WHY...why...
Wasted 20 mins on this post....I'm just gonna sleep >_<
-
what
what
and Rikako stage 3 just made me game over
what
she started round three by knocking me down to a heart and a half
what the hell just happened

-
Don't feel sad..I can hardly get past Stage 2 on most of the touhou games.
Which is to say only POFV, PCB, and MOF.
You don't see me complaining about it.
heck I'm happy I can usually survive to the midboss on lunatic mode.

FOR THE LOVE OF MORIYA
REIMU
GODDAMNIT

WHY DID I GAME OVER

WHAT THE HELL
You don't see me complaining about it.

PoDD lunatic. Game over'd with Rikako against Reimu.
I need to learn ebarrett's secret... T.T
EDIT: Seems me and theshim share the same pain...
-
Oh I complain about other things, but I know my skill level...
Completely dieing before the stage intro logo on extra was funny
come to think of it that tends to happen when I try lunatic as well.
-
Speaking of donuts..how are aya's onion rings of death on normal.
They're not the worst part of the stage, but I'll be damned if those overly thick donuts clip me as I'm forced to squeeze through incredibly small spaces again...
-
Game overed on Lunatic Buddhist Diamond now. I think I'm getting a little better, but I still have a lot of work to do.
At least it wasn't Hourai Jewel. Though I'm sure that'll happen as well.
Edit: Could anyone with score.dat with Final B unlocked for every team please upload it. I'd like to be able to actually practice doing this fight.
-
Finally got to Chiyuri...first time in...hell, I don't know, at least a couple dozen runs. Facilitated by S6 Reimu not even landing a hit on me.
loldeathloldeathgameover
Worst part of Chiyuri: her summon doesn't die from one bomb. So even when I bombed, I still lost a couple hearts.
And how the hell do you score in this damned game? I can barely get the 20m extend by stage 7 or 8.
-
This is affected by the type of object you collided with and the intensity of the collision, whether it was a brush or a total collision. It is also affected by how late into the match you are - early hits (e.g. within first 15 seconds) won't do as much damage as later on.
So why did I lose two and a half orbs on barely clipping a popcorn bullet 15 seconds into the match? Oh wait, because it's AYA. And she killed me three times again.
-

That's completely false. The damage you take is based on how many spellpoints your opponent has. Go play against Aya and deliberately get hit by the first EX bullet that appears, and watch as you take an orb and a half of damage.
-
Eirin's Hourai Elixir Last Spell - First I get taken by surprise when the action moves up to Kaguya's end of the screen (didn't help that Eirin suddenly began firing straight at me as soon as Kaguya was starting to be distracting by, well, standing in the middle of the area you can move in) and insta-fail, leaving me to RAEG at a, to me, unexpected inability to try again.
So I replay it all the way up there (which honestly is a challenge in itself for me, I'm pretty new) so I can get a second shot, fail again.
Next day, I've played a whole lot more of PCB and EosD for training, am all pumped up and ready to go, go through the entire game (godmarisawhymustyoubesodamndifficult?), get to the last spell and this time I pull off doding it all. I get past Kaguya's part of the screen, find a good method for staying safe from all the bullets and static beams and whatnot and YES I FUCKING DID IT I GOT PAST THE 360 OF DOOM! YESSSSSSSSSSSSS-fuck. I was too busy being overjoyed that I actually pulled it off that I forgot to consider the possibility the last spell wasn't over yet.
;.;
And I can't even ask Eirin for help, BECAUSE SHE'S THE ONE DOING IT D:
-
if I see that fucking hakutaku one more time (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6399)
Difficulty sorting: Wriggle<Reisen<Marisa<Mystia<Eirin<KEINE MOTHERFUCKING KAMISHIRASAWA
bullshit all over
seriously, Mystia's first boss spell is pure clip rape and her second nonspell is almost impossible at times.
I still charge into her other spells because they are so damn claustrophobic.
Keine. No.
Even destroying her familiars doesn't work out at times and I usually don't even manage to deathbomb.
First Pyramid=no
Ephemerality 137=NO GODDAMNIT
GHC=no
treasures whatever=ok
Legend of Gensokyo=FUCK YES TINY LASERS AND BULLETS ALL OVER I LOVE YOU
seriously, all Marisa has is Asteroid Belt and her nonspells. The rest is streaming.
Reisen is perfectable. Enough said.
I'm kind of 2 captures/rest fail on Eirin, but it's better than trying to beat Kaguya and going through 5 raping spellcards including Hourai Jewel which I can't capture on hard and which takes 2x as long as Astronomical Entombing does.
-
Mystia's first boss spell, Spiritual Pyramid, General Headquarters Crisis, and Pseudo-History can all be memorized.
I just can't be bothered to do the first and I'd probably mess up anyway, I usually mess up Spiritual Pyramid and Pseudo-History, and I haven't memorized General Headquarters Crisis, though I've sometimes gotten through with micrododging, I usually end up dying or bombing.
And I can't find a score.dat anywhere that'll allow me to practice Final B. I'd like it for all teams, but in order of preference, Netherworld Team, Border Team, Youmu solo, Magic Team, Scarlet Team.
-
...Why the hell can't I beat Flandre? I beat PCB FREAKING LUNATIC! Why am I so utterly incapable of lasting past her survival card? Why is Maze of Love SO FREAKING EVIL?! Why do I keep dying to Cranberry Trap, and FREAKING KAGOME-KAGOME?! WHAT THE FREAKING HELL?!
-
how the hell did I just die twice in a row on stage 1 of PoDD
what the hell just happened
-
Gck...
Another game's save data is gone, but this time it's not my fault. The same thing happened to my UFO score.dat as my MoF one. Good thing I have a recent version of it uploaded somewhere...
-
Durr, it takes three pushes of the button to get a bomb off on Chiyuri. This happened three times.
Still managed to get to Yumemi, but with no lives = DEATH.
And I'm never going to get anywhere if Reimu doesn't stop throwing lightspeed walls of popcorn bullets at me during her summon while launching a level 3 attack...over...and over...and over...
-
Did another Rikako 1cc while recording, because it's like the easiest thing ever
But I was trying to record it in fullscreen without testing before, and it only recorded sound over a black screen :V
Chiyuri was completely obliterated under endless barrages of her own reflected bullets. It was beautiful. And now it's.... solid black.
-

Either die or give me tips.
-
Either die or give me tips.
Despite Rikako's slow charge speed, spam lvl1s anyway - but don't even bother with counter-summoning, it takes ages and you will pay for it if you try. Eat the hits until you're sure the next one will reduce you to half a heart, while attempting to destroy the boss summons. Only bomb before that if you're absolutely sure you'll get hit multiple times before you can auto-counter/kill the summon. Later, when you're out of bombs and you use your ultra attack, GO TO THE TOP OF THE SCREEN AND REFLECT EVERY GODDAMN THING THAT APPEARS. This is where you win rounds with Rikako, even if you're losing badly you still have a chance because her ultra attack is just that awesome and if there's a lot of bullets flying around the AI will get hit multiple times.
Also pay attention to your own boss summon; synchronize a lvl1 charge to every attack it sends so instead of getting your reflected bullets crashing on top of you, you send them back again to the other side with minimal effort. Rikako's lvl1 stays onscreen long enough to make the "synchronization" rather easy.
Oh, and don't play windowed :V (Rikako vs. Chiyuri history, fullscreen: 3 wins in 4 rounds played. Windowed while trying to record: 0/5)
-
Thank you.
On topic: Apparently I am better at grazing than my fingers are. Because my finger grazed the bomb button...and it clipped it...and I started Chiyuri no lives and down a bomb. Did not go well.
Also general advice would be helpful, such as how to score. I can't get to 40m, so I'm stuck with only two extra lives, and it's not anywhere near enough...

Two extra lives is all you're getting. Enjoy, and make them last.
General advice? Learn the patterns, dodge like a god? Anything less general than that isn't "general advice" anymore, unfortunately.
I could start a video topic on how to deal with specific attacks, though. I'll see if I get some spare time during the weekend.
-
Ah ha ha. You really had me going there Ebarrett. I tried that strategy and made it to Yumemi with Rikako on my first try.
But then I spent all my continues and was on my second to last life before Yumemi finally croaked. I was just about ready to slap down a savestate just so I wouldn't be denied seeing the ending. It's a brilliant strategy, but the simple fact is that no amount of bullets will stop the AI at its smartest. Whatever. I 1cc'd PoDD lunatic once, I did it after two weeks of raw determination and Ruro blessings, and that's enough for me.
On a lighter note, proof that Rikako is the prototype for Unzan:

Maybe it's because as far as I know the stage does not determine the AI's efficiency until stage 7? :V I've never noticed much of a difference between the AIs of stages 1-6, all randomly god moding and derping out at the same probability. And dude, calm down. You're going to be one of those people who died of anger.

Tbh that failure was entirely thanks to the hitboxes.
Bury in Lake is sometimes impossible without bombing 2-3 times.
Protip: Start high up in the screen slightly to Patchy's right, and stream the bullets left-downward. It does some extra damage and makes the small bullets less of an issue. And if you bomb/die, always remember to shotgun her during invincibility. It's imperative for ending most attacks with one of ReimuB's bombs.
Also, I find it to be a lot more bullshitty at low rank than at high/max, strangely enough. The slow speed makes everything feel way more clusterfuckish.

Water Elf comes after Green Storm. ;)
Bury in Lake is manageable aside from when she decides to make a sharp turn to the right, because then you have to dash through the remnants of the small bullets while staying within the narrow curving bubbleshaft without clipping anything.

For now though, I'm more interested in attempting a perfect MS extra. Is Alice's second to last phase static? Because that's going to make that part a lot easier.
-
game over on apollo 13, 17 items away from an extend
takes only 1 bomb to finish her off
-
Well, it's definitely possible to get the 1,100 extend on Eirin's path. I needed that extend to pull that path off on Hard.
-
I love how some people reset until they perfect st2, yet I never leave it with more than 3 lives, 4 and no bombs if lucky, then 2 deaths on st3 and the rest is just survival on 1-3 lives until Eirin screws me over.
-
I reset if I use more than 2 bombs on the stage. Needless to say, I do that a lot when I accidentally get hit by one of her last 2 spells.

I can't get Jaimers' solution for recording PC-98 fullscreen working for me: every single recording software I tried insists on auto-alt-tabbing back to it when I hit the "start recording" hotkey, and then I'm back at the desktop with a (now GLITCHING) windowed emulator. Switching the emulator back to fullscreen gives the same result as always: solid black.
Still tried another windowed Rikako run. Three deaths to Chiyuri (only one certainly unavoidable), and then two deaths with two bombs in stock to Yumemi. (what. WHAT.)
-
190m before Nue, screwed up Blue UFO, everything goes downhill.

I could play Border Team so well on Hard. On Lunatic, I can't even get them to Tewi.
Stages 3, 4, and 5 now cause a lot of trouble.
I can make it to Kaguya with the Netherworld Team though. Why do I all of a sudden suck with border team though? Reimu's homing just doesn't cover enough of the enemies quickly enough or is too weak.
Not only that, I'm somehow getting hit by more stuff despite the smaller hitbox than I do with the Netherworld Team. What the hell?

SoEW lunatic. If I hadn't lost 8 bombs, it'd have been a 1cc; last death was at the very end of Mima's first form, with four bombs in stock. Goddamn SoEW hitboxes.
The worst part? I find SoEW so incredibly annoying that playing it twice in a row has made me not want to touch again it for at least a week, even knowing that the next attempt will be a 1cc no matter how badly I play.
-
I don't remember unlocking it, but I found Unseasonable Butterfly Storm in my spell practice.
Seventy-one tries later, I'm wondering if I should just leave it and come back after I've leveled up to Hard mode. And yet I was so close to capturing it... >_<
-
Tried a PoDD run with Ellen.
(http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/6884/ellenbawwwwww.png)
Unlike the Reimu and Rikako runs, I highly doubt that's reproduceable - I needed multiple miracles per level, and getting past Chiyuri while dying only once (the other previous death was to Reimu) involved something in the order of a miracle every five seconds.
Ellen is still a lot better than Kana, though - you can get lucky with the spinning balls.

I can't get Jaimers' solution for recording PC-98 fullscreen working for me: every single recording software I tried insists on auto-alt-tabbing back to it when I hit the "start recording" hotkey, and then I'm back at the desktop with a (now GLITCHING) windowed emulator. Switching the emulator back to fullscreen gives the same result as always: solid black.
Huh, that's weird. What do you use to record? I highly recommend Hypercam seeing as it is THE recording tool for PC-98.
I have it set up like this. (http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/6332/hypercamsetup.jpg)
It does do the weird auto-alt-tabbing after ending the recording, but that's no biggie.
Maybe your windows has something other hotkeyed to the recording hotkey?
EDIT:
If this still does not work, you can place your windowed screen in the topleft corner, hit record, switch to fullscreen and you will still record it.
-
Why the hell did it take me 69 attempts to time out Lifespring Infinity on Lunatic? The attack isn't that hard.
Also Hourai Jewel sucks. Should be fine if I can get there with a life or 2 in stock, but at my current level, I doubt I could.

170m stage green ufo failed undefined darkness failed rainbow ufo failed
FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
EDIT: Half accomplishment, half epic fail.
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6426
Seriously.....her survival should be a 100% cap.
If I would cap it, it would be all cards capped and over 370m.
EDIT2: Pretty close again, failed her final this time.
-
Here's how my UFO Extra attempts always end up like one of these
1. Game Over before Nue
2. Lose resources overall during the stage and game over on Red or Blue UFOs.
3. Lose resources overall during the stage then game over on a nonspell.
And the one that just happened to me twice, sadly:
Lose resources overall during the stage and game over Snake Show.
Also, Kogasa is total BS. Lightly falling Large Hitboxes and clipdeath, Clipdeath Typhoon, Lasers appear too damn fast.
-
Red and Blue are pretty easy....if you know how.
I'll probably upload a guide on Blue, as I've had lots of trouble with it myself.
-
Personally I don't even know how you people get to Nue with any resources in hand. The last third or so of the stage just utterly destroys me, I can't do anything without bombing like six times or losing a few lives. :C
-

I don't need any resources for Nue :V
The rest of the stage is pretty easy IMO....but it can cause problems I guess.
-
How the hell did I just die 4 times to IN Stage 3?
And Marisa's nonspells are a load of bullshit as well. They give you even smaller gaps than Flandre's(or almost any) survival card does.
-
Good run until survival, failed survival, failed grudge bow, gg
EDIT: 20m less than expected on stage, failed survival, captured grudge bow
hurr
EDIT2: Failed Karakasa Surprising Slash. When that happens, turn off the game and make some pizza.
-
Now I just failed a 7 starting lives run to unlock the final stage.
Due to a death with 5 bombs in stock on Reisen I didn't have enough to finish.
Much shorter deathbomb times on nonspells, stage protions piss me off. I got hit by Reisen's second nonspell and pretty much died instantly. Good bye 5 bombs. Then the run game overs on Hourai Jewel, so I don't get the stage for practice.
Just game overed on Rainbow UFO. What am I doing wrong on this stage?

Update.
Rikako vs. Chiyuri history, not recording: 4/5 over four games
Rikako vs. Chiyuri history, recording: 1/13 2/17 over three four games (edited because I forgot one game :V)
I'm seriously considering hijacking my sister's brand new computer, because random stutter and occasional lag spikes are something you do NOT want when facing Chiyuri.
Also: why the hell is LLS extra so much harder than LLS lunatic?

...What. I can easily beat LLS Extra, Lunatic is an entirely different story. Are you grazing enough? You get lots of extends with more points, and grazing gives tons and tons of points.

...What. I can easily beat LLS Extra, Lunatic is an entirely different story. Are you grazing enough? You get lots of extends with more points, and grazing gives tons and tons of points.
I'm getting tons of extends, but what good is it if I clip everything. :'(
LLS lunatic is stream stream stream stream stream until you get bored of streaming then you stream some more because it isn't over yet. That, and bombing Yuka's first and last phases in stage 6. And bombing Kurumi too because her spinning circles can get really stupid at max rank. Bombspamming Marisa isn't a bad idea either. (You are using ReimuA, right? Because no matter what Baity says, ReimuA makes LLS lunatic a lot easier.)

-
Actually, no. I use Marisa A <_< >_>
Anyone but ReimuA = you get shot from the sides/rammed from every direction while streaming, making the stages unnecessarily nerve-wracking.
Tried extra once again.... cleared it 3/0 despite some horrible mistakes. I really don't understand.
-
Wow.
I completely failed to see a laser on Nue's first card and got my loli pretty much penetrated.
-
What the hell is up with PoDD? I can only make it to stage 3 of Lunatic on one credit, and I usually game over on stage 1 or 2.
At least I can actually dodge some crap in PoFV.
-
Tck, failed a UFO extra no death run because I got blindsided on Green UFOs. I know I can do this, and for some reason trying doesn't make me angry...

If I can do this, you can do this too :V
Green UFO is also on my shitlist....kind of.
It's easy to get bs'd or clip something.
By the way....do you chain greens like crazy or are you doing it no bombs? And which shottype :V
http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6429
And I need to check your replay.
-
Trying a
Unreasonable Unseasonable Butterfly Storm timeout.
Things were going progressively better until I got it down to 26 seconds twice.... now I can't get past 66. And the really hard waves are at 56 and 46, everything before 56 should be cake.
edit: twice got to 32 seconds only to die to rampant stupidity. I'll leave this one for later, raging too much right now and I'll end up waking the neighbours.
-
Alright checking that replay now.
183k stage, failed green UFO, failed rainbow ufo(and stupidly at that), then forgot that there is one more white mass on the second phase and rammed it like an idiot
EDIT: and to top it off, I shit on Grudge Bow like nothing at TWO POWER
hurr
EDIT2:
Checked that replay.
Some stuff:
1) Kogasa's first card shouldn't be done at the bottom - after 80+ attempts like that, I know that being a little higher is much better.
Bomb the second one without mercy.
2) Nue.
Second noncard - Pretty much streaming.
Red UFO - Streaming. It spins right, left, right, etc.
Opposite side=death.
Go right, kill one or two, go to the center, then left, kill 1-2, center, repeat.
Third noncard should be bombed as 4 power is very useful for the Blue UFO card.
From my experience, the Blue UFO card comes in 2 waves, one is in one direction and the other one goes a bit more randomly.
Kill the first wave completely then just shoot Nue while watching out for the incoming UFOs in your direction.
Green UFO - ALWAYS go to the closest to the wall safespot. It's much, much safer there. Change the spots after every wave.
Undefined Darkness - If she spawns some bullets offscreen, they disappear completely.
Lure her to a corner before doing anything, then stream it down - it's almost harmless when it starts off, as the bullets gain speed.
You can finish it off before she reaches the bottom.
Rainbow UFO - The UFO streams come as double/single/repeat.
Kill the UFOs, read the bullets, shoot Nue between the waves and don't panic.
If you don't kill the UFOs, you can still dodge, but it makes it a lot easier to finish it fast when you do.
Replay here, almost all cards captured. (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6426)
Yeah, I've done Green UFO a bit more dangerously, but I won't do it like that now :V

I personally find the Lunatic version to be annoying as hell, and I often end up just going "Screw it." and bombing.

I'm glad Q.E.D. killed me.

-
Another attempt at recording a Rikako 1cc.
No deaths until Yumemi, who then beat me five times, all but the last with her being at half a heart and no bombs at the time of my demise. orz
edit for additional info:
the Chiyuri battle lasted over five minutes, and the Yumemi battle lasted an average of over three minutes per round. very annoying to not get the 1cc on this one.

Counter Clock is one of her easiest ones :V
I have most of it perfectly, it's just the red bullets after the second clock spinning. I know they're aimed so I should be able to dodge them but I can't ;_;
-
Perfect UFO Stage 6 Lunatic stage portion (heck ... I even survived the first spam wave with a haxdodge AND a perfect deathbomb). Then I went into LFO with 3 lives and lost completely.
Tried Orin Lunatic afterwards ... and lost at Ghost Wheel.
All these happened after my parent dragged me out to shower me with her sermon.
Please burn.
-
MoF Stage 4 Normal, I finally got past "Illusionary Dominance" without dying or bombing, then I proceed to die just as Aya is going through her "death-phase".
WHYYYYYY?

DAMMIT.
DAMMIT ALL TO HELL.

GODDAMNIT
I keep clipping the shit out of Alice's second to last phase.
I'm seriously considering switching shottypes because Mima isn't exactly the best for EXTREME micrododging.
1 death MS extra stage.
1 guess where I died.
AAGGAAGAHHGGGGAAHHHH
-
PoDD lunatic. Kana. Recording.
Yumemi was down to half a heart, no bombs, and gauge spent after an ultra when a random cross sneaked its way into my path and walled me while I dodged the boss summon's aimed cross spam. :'(
-
Trying to get back into PoFV.
Just game overed on Komachi. Not Shikieiki, but Komachi. I used to be able to at least get to Shikieiki. Game over on Yuka for the ones that fight her instead of Komachi.
Or usually Aya or or before that.
Seriously, this game wouldn't be as much of a load of crap if I could actually get the last 3 extends, since I almost never get to 50,000,000. Maybe then I'd have a chance. But I pretty much get forced to die at least once per stage starting on stage 6.
-

REVERSAL:
Fun =! fair, but unfair =/= fun. A Cave TLB is fun because they kick ass and are supposed to, but an AI deciding it doesn't want you to beat it until you die once is not fun.
-
Shoot! If I hadn't stood right in front of that laser on Alice's sixth phase I would have beaten MS extra no death! D=

ARGH!!
I'd be decent at UNL if I could just figure out how to block attacks.
Can someone please explain?
-
ARGH!!

Hold the arrow key that's pointing in the opposite direction from the enemy. Has a side effect of moving you away from your opponent though :V
-
I'd be decent at UNL if I could just figure out how to block attacks after airteching :V
I suppose it's double-tapping any buttons and opposite direction button RIGHT after that. But no matter how fast I do I always eat a C into the face (even against Lunatic CPUs). Do I have to airtech away from the opponent ?
-
Now that i sort of figured out..but if that's the only way to block then what's wrong blocking?
And that technique only seems to work against bullets...I cannot block melee, I assume that's intentional though.
-
Wrong blocking : the enemy hits you with a low attack when you do a standing guard / the enemy hits you with a high attack when you do a crouching guard.
And you're supposed to be able to block melee. Unless it's 3[A] / 6[A] ... or Typhoon weather.
-
All a remember is an AI suika pounding me to dust while I desperately held the block button in normal weather.
I guess it could have been 3A or 6A...
I think it was neutral A though...
-
I just tried a random run of Phantasm (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=6449). I perfected the stage section, captured all of the non-cards, and captured all of the spell cards. So it should be a perfect run, right?
There was, however, one small problem.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o142/Sapzdude/MOTHERFUCKER.jpg?t=1260796557)
/me swears at Yukari for five minutes or so
Border between captured and failed, much? <_< Seriously, Jesus effing Christ, how the hell did that happen?
I'm really tempted to call it a perfect run, but... grrrr. So close, but not quite.
-
How come your score is so low if you captured everything? Usually the first number ends up being a 4, unless you weren't going for cherry points.
-

I was pretty much ignoring everything that wasn't a bullet. :V I score pretty badly in general, though.
-
I'm beginning to really hate MoF's Aya battle. It's almost - no, forget "almost", it is sickening how luck based that fight is, even on Normal. One battle I can get a stupid death on her first or survival spells and perfect everything else, and the next three I'll die twice on her second spell and at least once on her second and third non-spells. Another example, during two of my runs today on her survival, I captured it without hugging either corner for the majority of the card (which I just recently decided to experiment with), while in every other attempt staying in the corner got me killed. Everything else in the stage is easy-peasy at this point, even Momiji's attack. Dammit Aya, you're already one of my favorite overall characters, why can't you just let me perfect you for once?
-
Almost perfected Shou on Normal. Not the stage as I messed up badly there. It wasn't Vajra that got me as I finally managed to capture it, but getting walled by Absolute Justice.
-
I wouldn't be anywhere near as pissed off at the fact that I can't get anywhere in EoSD if I could just see what hit me. Because as far as I can tell, on the last run, I only got hit once. So how did I game over before Patchy?

I had the exact same thing happen to me earlier today on Lost Soul's Village "Wandering Soul". It was hilarious.
-
So all the talk about UFO extra was making me want to try it as well.
Gave it an attempt:
- Perfect stage portion
- Captured all of Nue's cards and non-cards so far
- Game over on Rainbow UFO
I have no idea what happened.
-
Just made it to Nue's final card(and survival) for the first time.
I would have cleared if I didn't die once and bomb twice on Undefined Darkness. That card fucking sucks. Then I do the survival without dying or bombing until the last part of it and clip something with under 3 seconds left causing me to arrive at the final card on my last life. Then I deathbomb on the third phase and panic bomb on it once. Then I die on the damn fourth phase.
Oh, and I also died on Green UFO like always. And my performance on Rainbow UFOs is probably something I'm not repeating anytime soon either.
-
Well, thanks to Jaimers I'm determined to beat MS extra no deaths. The problem is that I'm using Yuka...for some reason I do terribly on extra when I use Mima, and really well with Yuka. The problem is that the first half of the stage is virtually impossible to do without bombing at least once with her. >_< Even when I do, FREAKING LASER PHASE always kills me! T_T
-
The laser phase really reminds me of Dodonpachi.
Fast reading, small gaps, lots of deaths :V
-
-.- How is it that the first time I manage to reach EX Alice having only died once beforehand, I don't even manage to make it past her second phase? Seriously, what the hell? First phase is a non-issue, but the second one... WHAT THE FREAKING HELL?!
-
YE
FLIPPIN
GODS
GATES
WHAT
THE
HELL
Killed me again twice on his first phase, four bombs gone like that (would be five but I missed the midboss bomb ohlololol). WHAT THE HELL
-
Got 80% Reflowering down to 18 seconds, missed once, and survived the rest.
I EFFIN' HATE MY MOTHER.
-
Memo to self: You suck and should stop trying to get a good run of LLS lunatic recorded before there's a point. I could have beaten the game with only 4 deaths, AND beat stage 6 Yuka no deaths, but I screwed up on the second to last phase with 2 bombs in stock and died again on her last phase. >_<
-
WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN I DIED ON DAIYOUSEI
WHAT
No seriously. I just spent another hour fruitlessly getting kicked around by EoSD. I can't get past Cirno without dying twice most of the time. This is getting ridiculous.
-
2 consecutive attempts at Shikieiki's extra.
Make it to Reimu with 3 spare lives. Die within a few seconds, die within a few seconds, die within a few seconds, die within a few seconds
Make it to Reimu with 2 spare lives. Die within a few seconds, die within a few seconds of the timer about to run out, die about halfway through the timer.
What the hell? Why is this not anywhere near as easy as I expected? And I got every single extend both times.
Edit: Now I managed to die to her 6 times somehow. Yes, that includes the round after 4 deaths where the timer is only 10 seconds before t goes back up to 30. What the fucking hell?
-
We are making slow but steady progress. I game overed right before S5 midboss Sakuya.
Of course, we'd make a HELL OF A LOT MORE PROGRESS if the game let me bomb. Died with full bombs twice in a row to Patchy AGAIN, and numerous other bombs were lost at various intervals.
-
Quit killing me 3 fucking times Yuka. You're not supposed to be one of the hard PoFV opponents.
Guess this expected from a Lunatic stage 7 opponent though, even if I'm using Komachi.
-
LLS extra, 1 death on Gengetu's final again.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
-
...What the heck just happened? T_T No deaths on the first three stages. Die a few times on stage 4, including a "WHAT THE HELL I BOMBED THERE YOU IDIOTIC THING I BOMBED I BOMBED I BOMBED!!!" moment on Double Black Death Butterfly, but I managed to reach stage 5 with 5.8 lives left. I then die five times before even reaching Boss Orin, only being saved from an instant game over by the extend given by the midboss. Another Extend during the battle, game over on ghost wheels...
Again, what the heck just happened? How did I die that much? T_T I thought I was actually going to 1cc SA Hard...
EDIT: WHAT THE FREAKING HELL?! No. Just, no. HOW DID I JUST DIE TWICE ON TERRIFYING HYPNOTISM?! Seriously, did those bullets there suddenly gain 5x more hitbox than they had before?!
EDIT AGAIN: ...What. I just... I'm at a loss for words. I've stopped actually raging. I'm just stunned speechless by this utter stupidity. I know for a fact that I deathbombed/moved out of the way of bullets on some of these deaths. Then there was one death on stage 3 that I didn't even see. Then bullets with tiny hitboxes suddenly start killing me when I'm barely touching them... No. Just no.
-
A 4th Komachi run ends exactly the same way.
First death to Marisa
3 Deaths to fucking Yuka
Game over on Reimu
The only difference was that 2 of the runs got the 50,000,000 extend while the other 2 didn't.
-
O.o Okay, that was weird... Doing Kisume's midboss card, when I die... At the exact same moment I hear the sound of the life fragment appearing... Oh, and then I get a "Bonus Failed..." thing, and I know I didn't bomb, so it must have counted the death against the capture... What.
-
Kogasa capture rate time!
4/41
0/31
0/20
What :V
-
Took a break from Hard mode to attempt to get a no deaths run of Easy mode. I screwed up on Orin's second card of all things -_- Then when I went on ahead to see how I'd do, I of course died to Utsuho's second card as well. Of course, Peta Flare is an evil, evil card, even on Easy mode, and I really shouldn't have tried to capture it T_T Naturally, I die to Heaven and Hell Meltdown as well... Gaah... So my SA Easy mode record is still at three deaths <_<;
-
I just had walls thrown at me for a couple hours straight.
Why the HELL am I playing the Phantasmagoria games again?
-
Genealogy No-Vert Timeout, 8 seconds, THREE times.
I RAGEQUIT >_>
-
Just failed grudge Bow again. Managed a capture of Rainbow UFOs, so I entered the survival with 1 spare life and 1 bomb. I knew exactly when I was using that bomb on the survival.
I died on the first appearance of the laser grid. What the hell. I was saving that bomb for the final 3 seconds which had been where I clipdeathed on the last 2 times I got there. So I only had 1 bomb for Grudge Bow.
1 life and 2 bombs should have been enough for it.
-
Motherfucking FORBIDDEN GAMES
I swear those lasers are shorter than their hitboxes
WHAT THE FUCK
-
Just failed despite arriving at Grudge Bow with 2 spare lives. 2 clipdeaths on phase #2.
-
I just tried to play Hollow World of God's Extra stage (not Phantasm).
It's not the worst danmaku ever, but some attacks cut it pretty close.
-
Why am I so damn inconsistent at SA Extra? I'll either perfect the stage or game over at something stupid like Embers of Love.
-
Yet again
BS'd by stage 6 when I had a chance of winning once
BS'd by stage 7 three times
Game over on stage 8
-
Yet another 1 death LLS extra run. This is the freaking third already.
However I did not die on Gengetu's final this time!
Progress?
Also, why is midboss Nue harder than Mugetsu?
EDIT:
MAKE THAT FUCKING FOURTH
AMAZING PIXEL-PERFECT CLIPDEATH

When people post fake shit like this, just look at it. Odd slowdowns when certain spell cards begins, all the final spells having a 999.99 real capture time.

Haha, oh man, I laughed IRL.
This is a legit run, trust me. I you don't, then check out my replay (http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=5600) yourself.
The weird slowdown was because I was having some weird issues with Fraps. I got it mostly
fixed by now.

Well, it does say tool-assisted there. Why? It doesn't look it to me. It odd fidget at the end is odd, but...
Sorry for accusing you and all, it just all your other videos are so smooth by comparison.
Even the ever RAM hungry CtC, it just won't run in 60 fps for me... ever.
EDIT: Does it run 60 fps for you in Stage 5? You have to tell me what video card or whatever you are using.

That's the funny part; it wasn't tool assisted, gensokyo.org marked it as being so because they're incompetent. :V

Yes, it's a Danfumaku thing, but he's playing as MARISA and he dodges so much stupidity in 30 seconds that you don't even need the 20 (as in, 33% speed) marker at the bottom right to confirm.

Tried EoSD Lunatic no-bombs again for the first time in like two months.
Died to Patchy FOUR TIMES, then lost a potential perfect stage 5 at Killing Doll for the hundredth time, game over at YDL.
Yup, my skills are exactly where they were before.

First, you copy my achievement of all spell cards in the series captured. Then you copy my achievement of every lunatic in the series captured... but NOW you're copying my achievement of a really cool thing being flagged as tool-assisted?! DUDE. Quit following my lead! >:(
:V
But yeah, I think one of us should submit a tool-assisted run of IN normal, make it blatantly tool-assisted, focusing every frame and dancing unfocused around bullets and whatnot, submit it, and see if they catch it. I bet you anything they wouldn't just because it's a normal difficulty run.
This is a much better example. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Qb6AZFQyvE)
2:33
Yeah that guy is lol. I love the common defense of "I could have done it no deaths," ignoring the fact that you are just as vulnerable slowing down than at normal speed, and that TAS runs of games are rewound literally hundreds of times to erase mistakes (something that Touhou doesn't provide).
-
GODrake something with ReimuC, making sure you circle every bullet atleast 10 times then keep telling them that it's legit.

As soon as someone answers Ghaleon's question in the question thread, I'll give this a shot sometime.
Does it run 60 fps for you in Stage 5? You have to tell me what video card or whatever you are using.
Yeah.
CtC is weird as hell and gives a lot of people problems, I can't really help you here outside of the "get a better compy" advice.

I swear I can't take Yuugi's BS anymore...
I can do Stages 1, 2, 3, 4 no death.
I can do Stages 1, 2 and 4 bosses no death..
But whenever I do, I die at least 3 times to Yuugi! ARGH

Tried another run.
I had at least 3-4 completely avoidable deaths (Extreme Color Typhoon, Pre-Patchy spam, TWO to Sakuya's opener). Game-overed at Thousand Needle Mountain.

My first Touhou 1cc is SA, it took me a while to learn from Stage to stage, but in the end, it was worth it. I guess it is just you.
All 1ccs that I have came 2 weeks to a month after that, that is how much SA has taught me about reading danmaku.
I barely bombed anything that I know I can deal with. I even went into Stage 6 with 1.20 power and still won, though if I didn't cap the wheels without a bomb, it might not have been so pretty.

Okay. Finished watching Phar's video and fixed my jaw's position.
I'm surprised none of you did Byakuren's fourth non-spell that way. I've been using that method for quite some time :(

And another hour of my life completely squandered on THE FIRST TWO GODDAMN STAGES OF EOSD.
When I was going for me PCB Lunatic 1cc, I spent 90% of my time on the first two stages. And I was trying for DAYS without that much break. This also happens a lot on SA stages 1 & 2 on Hard mode for me as well... Oddly enough, I don't tend to have too much trouble with the first two stages of EoSD Lunatic. Cirno is annoying, but not nearly as nasty as Chen. Though I usually end up bombing Demarcation, it's not worth bothering on Lunatic <_<; Of course, stage 3 is just insane, and it gets worse from there...
I hate everything about SA. Worst Touhou game, in my opinion. None of the spell cards are fun, the bomb system is horrific, and I just cannot progress at all in it.
I disagree... To some extent. Personally, I think UFO is much, MUCH worse. SA's bombs might use power, but at least you regain them quickly through normal gameplay. UFO on the other hand, you have to go chasing moving objects through seas of bullets, and then once you get those, you have to manage to fill the UFOs with items, while still dodging, and that all goes down the drain if the midboss comes in anyway. Personally, I think that SA's and MoF's bomb system is the best in the series... The danmaku is still annoying, but it could be worse. Again, see UFO.

I wanna do this, too! In fact, it'd be pretty funny if everyone got in on this.
My touhou rage of the day is not being as good as my good buddies Donut, Baity, Jaimers and the like. Why was I not blessed by the drunken god to dodge little dots in a video game? WHYYYY-HY-HY-HY-HYYY?! :'(

Now I remember why I stopped playing SA Extra a few months ago.
SANAEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Why does a MoF Stage 3 Hard perfect elude me so?
Fucking lasers, that's why! Even my "sweetspot height" isn't alleviating all the pain from Nitori's last spell. I've come *this* close to the perfect at least three times. I need to rest my mind right now...
-
Why does a MoF Stage 3 Hard perfect elude me so?
MoF Hard
perfect
Um... I think the question answers itself :V Any given stage on MoF is ridiculously difficult to do without bombs or deaths. Even stage 1 to some extent, though the only real problem on Hard mode is Minoriko's first card IMO. I think that the game is designed to make you dependent on bombs for 1cc's. Of course, then you finally reach Kanako's final card and "WHAT THE HELL HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THIS?!"
At least, that's my experience <.<

Might well be your experience. Though I can see where you're coming from with depending on bombs for 1cc's. Even on Normal there's a shit-ton of bullets, which is a minor bone of contention with me. But I feel like the Stage 3 perfect is so close, yet I can't get it, even through a bit of luck on just one run. I'll have to master using my "sweetspot" for the last card.
-
AAARRRRRGGGHHH!!! IN LUNATIC WHAT THE FREAKING HELL?! T_T Why is EVERYTHING so utterly ridiculous? I can't deal with this stupidity... What makes it worse is that if I use Youmu, I don't have enough spread, so stages are hell, but I get the ability to destroy familiars even while focused, so bosses are... Still hell. But not nearly as bad as if I try to use Yuyuko as well. I can't do a thing except either bomb as soon as anything gets remotely near me, or sit there helplessly and die, if it's one of the many, many attacks that relies on destroying the familiars before they destroy you. Of course, some of those are still nasty even with Youmu... But still, why do I have to choose between trivial stages and bosses that blow me up as sure as if I'd gotten a Kyuu from Flandre, and hellish stages with barely manageable bosses? WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO HERE?!
And that's on a GOOD day. Right now, I can't even get past midboss Wriggle without dying... Gaah...
-
Alright, when did I lose all ability to play Touhou? Because I can't get out of IN stage 3 without dying four times. On Hard. With Yuyuko "Trivialization" Saigyouji and Youmu "SLASHSLASHSLASH oh hey you're out of familiars again" Konpaku. Seriously, WHAT.
-
Life Spring Infinity, you big piece of BURNING BULLSHIT
Hourai Jewel, too. WHY WON'T YOU LET ME 1CC HARD
-
I could totally 1cc IN Lunatic if the deathbomb times were consistent. Both during nonspells and spells sometimes I'll get the chance to do it and other times I just die instantly without getting a chance. Other times, I get a decent amount of time to do it and other times barely any. This costs me lots of my bombs as well.
Oh, and Byakuren's final card on Normal is a bunch of crap.
Almost perfected UFO Stage 5 Normal again as well earlier. Perfect stage, perfect boss, oops clip something when the final spell is clearing.
And Hourai Elixir's last few seconds are annoying. I've gotten there a few times just to never get past 3 seconds left on the timer.
And PoFV still is a cheating piece of crap. Same exact thing happens every time, no exceptions.
And Lifespring Infinity is easy. Hourai Jewel sucks even on Hard, though I've captured that version. Can't get close to the Lunatic one though.
-
Well, the thing with IN is that you have a very short time window for deathbombing and then get an additional longer time window, which makes the deathbombing time much longer than in the other games. The problem is: if you slip into the second window, you spellcard will cost you two bombs. Alas, if you don't have two bombs, you don't get this window and die when the initial window is over.
-
I've died instantly to Reisen's first and second nonspells before when I've had 4-5 bombs on me. I really hate those 2. Tewi does this to me a lot as well.
And I'm pretty sure I've gotten the longer one several times at one bomb, at least with border team. Too bad I suck with Border Team on Lunatic and had to switch to another team.
-
Life Spring Infinity isn't bullshit. You just have to learn the trick, like any other card.
Of all of Lunatic Kaguya's cards, I've capped this one the most/at all.
-
Hey, Yuka only killed me twice this time. I deserved the stage 6 loss this time as well since I was playing badly.
Unfortunately,I still game overed on Reimu. Was a few million from the 70,000,000 extend and almost had her defeated. Doubt Shikieiki would have went well with only one real chance at her due to the first round issue.
-
lol, who saw this coming?
Another 1 death LLS extra.
EDIT:
And another one, sure why not, this is only the 6th so far.
*Jaimers banges his head against the wall.
-
Tried HRtP again because it looked fun in Donut's videos and now I know I won't die if I slide in the orb (controlling it just with the stick and the amulets is freaking impossible and is why I hated the game so much).
Played on easy of course. It was pretty nice. I liked the music. Shingyoku was fun.
Then I reached Yuugenma. My appreciation of this game went WAY down because of this total bullshit fight. Memorisation crapfest huh? Now that I kinda know how to do it, it looks really boring instead of impossibly hard. I thought at first bombs were activated by pressing ZX but it's actually left-right-Z. I really hate those controls.
Elly (or whatever she's called) was really fun though. Only problem is once she shot a circle that creates a lot of bullets (I think) BELOW the screen, so I got killed by invisible bullets. And the circle was still there.
Then I reached Sariel. Died a few times, learned the fight a bit, remembered I could use the stick to create a path instead of bombing all the time, and eventually beat her first phase with a life in stock.
The emulator crashed at that moment. Fuck this game.
-
Yuugen Magan ends many a run. He's still kinda fun if you can keep your rhythm.
Elis (not Elly, that's the LLS stage 3 boss) didn't kill you with bullets from below; that attack's quirk is that after a brief time anywhere that is not in the circle is instant death. It's kind of like Kokkuri-san's Contract.
The emulator crashed at that moment. Fuck this game.
Yeah, that happens sometimes. >_> Thankfully it's not terribly common.
You should keep trying. It looked fun in my videos because it is fun, providing you take the time to learn it.
-
So I just unlocked PoFV Extra. Had an amazing Yuka run for the last one, got to Shikieiki with two lives...had a good first round, and two terrible rounds, and then continued twice before she went down. Sadness.
Also: AAAGH EXTRA WHAT THE HELL IS THIS
-
Also: AAAGH EXTRA WHAT THE HELL IS THIS
Way less dodgehax than Normal mode? The second easiest difficulty in the game? Seriously, I managed it LONG before Normal mode, with both Komachi AND Shiki
-
ALRIGHT SERIOUSLY
Why is it that whenever I'm doing really well - like making it to midboss Sakuya without bombing - I am GUARANTEED to clip her noncard on an easy dodge? This isn't rank, this is just BS.
-
It happens to me all the time on Hard. I've just accepted bombing it if I have any in stock.
-
Did a no-death run of stage 6 hard MoF, captured all but the one with the knives (1 bomb, and since I'm practicing for 1cc I find that a good thing since it was a perfectly placed bomb).
And then I reach VoWG.
FOUR FREAKING DEATHS
...
FOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I hate cards like Hourai Doll or Miracle of Otensui/Source of Rains that are based on a specific movement pattern to the point where, if you die or bomb, your rhythm gets completely fucked up and you just do horribly for the rest of the card.
-
Died on Gengetu's loleasy streaming phase.
Rest was perfect.
Why won't this goddamn stage just let me perfect it?
-
It took me nine continues to beat SA.
On easy.
-
EoSD stage 5 1DNB, for the fifteen-billionth time.
MaxRank Killing Doll is the worst boss attack in the series. No contest.
-
Finally bothered to set up so that my Xbox 360 controller would work with Touhou. I am never doing that again outside of the fighting games if I decide to play them.
Trying to play with that controller caused me to die to Fixed Star. Now that wouldn't be a problem, but I died to Fixed Star 3 times, in the same practice run.
And then I almost perfected Orin on Normal with it, but not the stage. But still, that made me suck more. So no gamepad/controller for me until I get one with a good d-pad. The d-pad didn't even cause me problems with 360 shmups either.
-
If I die on Suika one more time, I'm going to break something.
EDIT: And PoFV Extra is like eating rusty nails melted together to form one middle finger.
-
Honestly, these days it feels like I'm half the RAGE thread all by myself.
EX Alice. First run ends on the Cheeto Lasers phase. Second run, I get to the sixth phase with only one derp death on the first, doing well so fa-*clip*
OK, but no-*clip*
All right, serio-*clip*
WHAT THE HELL
It was about that long between deaths, seriously.
-
Tried some practice runs in EoSD since it's been a while since I last played.
I'm even worse against Patchy now. Nondirectional lasers still suck to have to go against.
I forgot how to capture Illusional Misdirection and Killing Doll.
I keep dying to whatever the stage 4 midboss is called.
I used to be able to get to Remilia on 1 credit, but now I'm going to need to grind practice a lot before I have a chance of 1cc on Hard again.
-
Scarlet Gensokyo 6 deaths timeout blaaaaaaaaaaaargh.
-
Had a pretty good Mugetu run going until a coughing fit made me die with two bombs, then bomb two easy dodges.
Urk.
EDIT: I can't believe I didn't screenshot it, but...Anex86 gave me the red error message with STOP a few times. This has been referenced by people before, but it's my first time coming across it. What am I supposed to do? Because it just killed my LLS run.
-
You have to know there's something wrong when you die to Minoriko's first Spell Card consistently on Normal.
-

on Normal.
WHAT.
-
WHAT.
Yeah, apparently pushing to play Touhou when you clipdeath every bullet pattern in the game is not that good of an idea.
-
EoSD hard. Game overed on Vampire Illusion. Run was pretty much unlikely to clear, especially when I bombed twice on her third card and had to use a bomb on Young Demon Lord before that. Oh, and I arrived at the stage on my last life and had to bomb Eternal Meek.
Continue?
Might as well and see what could have happened if I didn't die twice on stage 3 when I had 3 bombs in stock both time, plus most of Remilia's cards aren't affected by rank IIRC.
Clear the rest while only dying once more.
-
Ugh, why do I keep dying to Letty's first card on Lunatic?
(I normally don't complain about Lunatic stuff, but I keep getting her under 10% and *then* ramming something....)
-
I'm growing tired... seriously...
If I have to play SA Stage 1 even one more time I swear I'l...
-
I'm growing tired... seriously...

I know how that feels. Oh how I know how that feels... Though for me, the worst one was PCB stage 2 Lunatic, and stage 1 to a very slightly lesser extent. Dear god, that insanity was ridiculous T_T I spent 90% of my time while attempting PCB Lunatic on those two stages.
SA Hard is still obnoxious, but those first two stages actually aren't as nasty as PCB Lunatic's were, despite being overall harder.

Game over at Subterranean Sun twice in a row...
I can't believe I even got past 1st stage quickly twice!
First time i reached utsuho with 2 lives... barely reached Subterranean sun
second time i reached Utsuho with 4 lives and i thought OH MAN IM GONNA 1CC THIS SHIT died 2 times to Subterranean sun >:(
not to mention the countless game overs i got at Orin/stage 5 today
-
I failed at Fujiyama Volcano. With only TWO more points to get an extra life.
FFFFFFFFFFFFF-
EDIT : Another run, ended with 2 lives and 645/666 (that is ... three deaths). FV is easier than I thought. Though moving through the slower waves is a bit risky. :V

Since mid-October I've been locked in combat with Touhou Dance Contest, one of Helepolis' Danmakufu scripts. While it is totally awesome in both feel and appearance, it is so god da*n hard to 1cc it on Lunatic without bombing. It consists of 11 sequences (6 cards and 5 non-cards), all of which (or well, most of them, to be fair) are absolutely lethal to make even the slightest little mistake in. I've cleared every single attack repeatedly when singling them out from the script but tackling them all, one after the other, with a total of 5 lives is... freakish. I've gotten myself way too far into it to even think about backing out now though. :V
Helepolis, if you're reading this: did you consider us non-bombers when writing your script? :P
Edit: Twice have I reached the final sequence on my last life. It's not such a nice feeling to know that you're doomed before even starting. :'(

I can't get a decent Remilia solo IN Extra run at all. My best is just over a billion.
I blame her crappy hitbox. It has got to be the biggest one in the game.

Of course I can capture GRT! at 1 fps
I think you misread my post. I honestly don't think it's humanly possible to capture this thing.
Did some calculations. GRT takes 36 seconds to finish. Dying and bombing gives you around 4 to 5 seconds of invulnerability.
This means that the minimum amount of resources I should have at this moment would be 2/2 with maybe 1 second of actually dodging the attack.
Had 2/0 on my last attempt. ;_;
Anyone know the exact invulnerability time for dying and bombing? I need to look into this if I want to milk the maximum amount of time out of my resources.
Also discovered something usefull: Gengetu's final phase is completely static based on rank. This means that you can just memorize a path through.
Holy shit I'm turning into Baity.

Best extra stage attempt ruined at illusion
died 3 times
with 4 bombs
fkdkdsjsklfsFUCKdasds
EDIT: GODAMNIT
I found out I can consistently get to Ran with over three lives
I found out I can't ever capture the illusion card
-
Progress! RAGE, but progress!
Game Over on Scarlet Meister.
I need another two lives, in other words. I did pull off some awesome stuff that I usually screw up, like getting to the books before dying on Stage 4 with no bombs, and capping the post-midboss S5 spam (which despite being fairly easy, since two of the bullet types are aimed around you, I still screw up an appalling percentage of the time), and capping Illusional Misdirection, which I'm very good at screwing up. I only died with one bomb in stock, and only twice.
Yyyyyyeah, 1cc is a ways off yet. Also, I think I may have beaten Cirno at her own game, because if I can get her opener that simply, I may just break something.
EDIT: It seems the first wave of the first part of her opener is much denser, but I usually misdirect that one anyway, so...yes, it seems that Cirno's opener just went from one of the most threatening noncards on Lunatic to...nothing.

Still attempting EoSD Lunatic?
I would get it this run, but I've:
1) Died on Cirno with 2 bombs
2) Died on Meiling with 3 bombs
3) Used 3 bombs on Scarlet Meister. Don't try to dodge, SHOTGUN, BOMB, REPEAT.
Oh well, getting close. Scarlet Gensokyo is a dick though.
-
Post edited.
And yeah, I need two more lives just for Meister and Gensokyo alone. Seriously, those things are BRUTAL.
-
So I'm attempting a MoF Hard 1cc. I get up to Aya's last spell with two extra lives left. Not only do I die twice, and not only do I lose the second life at the last second, all of my Power items end up disappearing, so I enter Stage 5 with no Power.
I ragequit right then and there.

I just had two one death no bomb Yuyuko fights IN A ROW. The deaths in each run were to LOST SOUL'S VILLAGE and Sumizome respectively. See, this is the fourth time I've nearly perfected Yuyuko, so it's stopped being funny.
But I know that even if I do it, some snide person will go "now perfect the stage portion too" and make me want to drain the blood from their body.
-

Join the club. I've nearly perfected LLS extra 8 times.
That joke stopped being funny around the second time.
Oh, and Hanged Hourai Dolls just ruined a perfect stage 3 for the fourth time.
-
Glitchy Mystical Chain is glitchy.
Kaguya and Mokou were just standing there and all the gems lying on the ground when I beat them. Nothing happened.
-
Also discovered something usefull: Gengetu's final phase is completely static based on rank. This means that you can just memorize a path through.
Holy shit I'm turning into Baity.
I should release some notes here. With the several hours of testing savestate abusing that I did before I uploaded that video, I could safely conclude that "GRT" is not static.
...Rank has also shown to affect the attack itself though.
Note: If you're testing with a savestate at the start (or somewhere close) of "GRT", then the attack will "unfold" the same way every time because the RNG is repeating itself. How else did you expect me to actually survive the attacks in the video with minimal resource usage (with the obvious exception)?

I see this and raise 15 failed attempts :V
Argh, you people are bringing my bad memories back.
Ah, I should make the announcement here that I've essentially given up trying to perfect all Extra stages. The reason being that it's far too luck-based at one section, coupled with memorization everywhere else, making things pretty boring. Though, I will still go through with SoEW Extra because it's more random though

That sometimes happens.
Sometimes you get "awesome" bugs though. Like 1 HP Remi/Flan Final SC

[02:08] <theshim|LLS> you know
[02:08] <theshim|LLS> I'd settle for being a worse player if I was at least consistent
[02:08] <theshim|LLS> I get up to Scarlet Meister and die multiple times on LLS S1 Normal in the same day
[02:09] <theshim|LLS> I die multiple times to Gengetu's first two phases, but capture her final
[02:09] <theshim|LLS> it is REALLY annyoing
-
UFO Normal. Reach Murasa with not that far from max lives AND bombs. It goes downhill from there. Way down... But then I still manage to reach Byakuren with like five lives, still quite a few bombs... Huh, whattya know, it can go further downhill. There's a cliff at the bottom. Game over when I overestimate the width of the safe area on Devil's Recitation.
...*SPLAT*

Died while Patchouli was exploding.
That was almost a no-death stage 4 right there.
Used ReimuB.

I did it with Marisa B myself, since she has the easiest Patchy fight (Rage Trilithon and Silver Dragon are so easy it makes up for Emerald Megalith). The hardest part of doing that stage no deaths is how loooooooong it is. =_=

Yeah, it doesn't help that the stage portion is so trivial, with the exception of THE books of course.
It's kind of a drag to go through it everytime just for Patchy.
I'll try it with MarisaB. as soon as I unlock her for stage practice >_>
Also whoever said that ReimuA has the easiest Patchy battle is a liar.
-
Tell me how is the laser streaming trivial :V

Erm...if you mean the part right after the four waves of spike fairies after Koakuma...start in the bottom middle of the screen, stream very slowly right? It's probably the easiest part of the stage...
-
Perfect Cherry Blossom Stage 3 Lunatic, MarisaA.
Perfect Stage, perfect midboss battles, perfect spellcard captures.
One death while Hanged Hourai Dolls was ending.
-
Okay, how the hell do I play PoFV better unfocused most of the time over focused most of the time?
Tried doing the thing where you mostly play focused and release focus then press and hold again and got less far with Komachi than I do playing Unfocused mostly and just focusing to activate spirits and for some dodging.

I pretty much always play that way. I can fairly consistently get to Shikieiki on Lunatic with at least one life in stock...
-
When playing touhou i find that while my reflexes are generally good, I often die stupidly by running right into a incoming bullet right after i dodge a cascade.
To make things worse, I have no death bomb timing whatsoever...
In the past i was so bomb happy that I was usually out of bombs by the time i got to the boss.
Now as i get better I can get to the boss without losing lives or bombs. (Only on easy and normal)
But I still can't figure out deathbomb timing...
Need HELP!!
-
Don't try to time deathbombs; bomb before you get hit. The time it takes for you to press the bomb button will save you in the form of a deathbomb.
-
I see my approach has been wrong...
However...often I just try to dodge through the spellcard to get the bonus, and for that panic bombing is not the way to go...
-
Edited to fix image.
If I didn't ram into some enemies and danmaku near the beginning of the round I might of actually had a chance. Lunatic of course. First time I made it to Shikieiki using Komachi.

panic bombing != deathbombing.
panic bombing is what you do when you're safe and bomb anyway because you freaked out. deathbombing happens when you are going to get hit, you see you're going to get hit, and you bomb just in time to save yourself.
basically, deathbombing is as much about reading as it is about reflexes. if you're trying to twitch your way through everything, sooner or later you'll get hit by stuff you didn't even see, making deathbombing almost impossible.
As for me, more Shikieiki NFNV woes. By now I'm almost sure that stages 7 and above purposefully bounce you upwards - again didn't make it past Komachi, again ended most of the rounds vs. Aya and Komachi at boss summon height.
-
Well at least panic bombing's out of my system... (did that a lot when i started playing)
Strangely I tend to twitch my way through just about everything...
Some of my replays look like spazzing.
-
Damn it, I just died even more times before Shikieiki. And I played even worse against her this time. If I played really well I could potentially end up at Shikieiki with 3 or 4 spare lives due to how close I was to 90,000,000 at the end. Too bad the AI decides to consistently cheat me most of the time.

I just realised that the entirity of EoSD Lunatic is about three things:
Killing Doll
Scarlet Meister
Scarlet Gensokyo
It's a bit like MoF Stage 6 is all about Virtue of the Wind God, but for the *entire game*.
-
Phantasm no focus, two deaths... two bombs used during the entire run. The two deaths were on her third non-card and Butterfly in the Zen Temple. <_< I almost captured BoLaD, for crying out loud. I wish I'd stop making these stupid mistakes.
-
Nah, it's okay Unzan. Just because I was one mistake off a perfect run of stage 3 doesn't mean you should stop grinning. ;_; Even if that mistake was clipping the top of your fist in Consecutive Hooks not because I was too slow but because I misjudged how tall your brofist's hitbox was. Nah, we're still bros...
;_;
-
Tried doing a no-death EoSD stage 6.
Make it to Scarlet Meister with 2 bombs in stock. I bomb once, and then I died because I misjudged ReimuB's bomb invulnerability time. I then capture Scarlet Gensokyo.
Mother of fuck.
-
88,593,010 points. Made it to Shikieiki again.
Oh, and Yuka killed me 3 fucking times, again.
-
I. Hate. Suika. Ibuki.
AND MARISA SUCKS HARD IN IAMP.
Good Haruhi, you're a MAGICIAN. You should have better attacks. Or at least, you know, A HOMING SHOT.
DAMMIT, THIS IS WHY I ONLY PLAY SCARLET DEVIL CHARACTERS.
Fortunately, my family was in another room while I was playing.
I can still feel the marks on my teeth.
-
AND MARISA SUCKS HARD IN IAMP.
When I think of IaMP Marisa, I think of Sol Badguy; a rushdown character that can repeatedly loop the same attack into itself midair for 40% of your healthbar.
-
I meant player Marisa.
Stardust Reverie is the reason why it took me over a month to not LOATHE the game.
-
I SUCK AT BYAKUREN
ghnnnghh 4 lives 2 bombs stage 6 lunatic and I dont even get to her fourth spellcard gfbdzgixfbbolkmp;pguyift
-
And I die just as much as usual again, don't even get close to 90,000,000 and fail at Shikieiki again because I don't know how to fight her.
-
FFFFFFFFFFF--
STOP CRASHING WHEN I TRY TO SAVE REPLAYS
-
From the Touhou wiki PoFV section:
For some users, attempting to save a replay will frequently cause the game to crash. A way to get around this is to choose a save slot initially, go back to the replay listing, and choose again. Choosing the same slot is okay.
I do that, and I've never had it crashed. Never tried doing it without doing that either, since I knew of it before I started playing.
-
And that's this thread.
-
Indeed.
