Title: This little n00bie...
Post by: atoms2ashes on May 06, 2010, 03:40:09 PM
This little n00bie went to play UFO.
This little n00bie faced Kogasa.
This little n00bie went "OMFG THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE EASY MODE?!"
...all the way to the 11th Continue Screen.


Perhaps post your first encounters and losses?

Actually, having heard nothing but notorious reputations general populace spread about, I expected much worse when I picked "Easy". Case of high expectations, I guess. 

That doesn't change the fact that STAGE 4 is Evil though. Ate through all my continues.  :/
(is it only me or do you seem to have some sort of beginner's luck first time you play the level, only to fail miserably what you somehow beat before?)

I remember having great trouble with SA Stage 3 on Normal when I was new.

I have since perfected the stage on Lunatic.

Post by: Widermelonz on May 06, 2010, 11:46:07 PM
The entire game of SA was a bitch when I first played it.

After I cleared MoF on normal, I went on to play SA.

Oh boy, that was a big slap in the face.

Oh god Hiziri on Normal.

Now I've perfected the fight and can consistently capture Flying freaking Fantastica.

Stage 2: Okay, I died there
Stage 3: ...yeah, this is getting a little harder

This shows how I felt about Kogasa...but it was countered by the time I finally beat Kogasa..and was then brofisted to death on Icirin's midboss card.

Went to try other Touhou games after that.

And still have trouble on Kogasa sometimes.

UFO is only my second Touhou game played, first being SA.

I only got to reach Satori on Easy and Parsee/Yuugi (depends on luck) on Normal.


...My gosh, Alice's spellcards... e___e

This derpface could not figure out how to capture Icicle Fall on Normal until a month after he started playing.


Also, this derpface still refuses to bomb cards because he believes that there is still a small chance of capturing them, which usually results in a failed 1CC.

I started with MoF easy and luckily managed to beat stage 4 without focusing because I didnt know what it was or how to use it.
1 and a half years later I'm able to 1cc the windows games on normal.

First encounter with Touhou ended with me ragequitting to PADs on Eeji Modo.

Fast forward about a decade and I can 1CC UFO Easy and almost 1CC Normal. Just a bit more practice...

I think I game overed to Easy Rumia on my first playthrough of EoSD.

What? I didn't have any shmup experience before Touhou. (And I still haven't played any other shmups, either >_>)

BV

First death? not a game over death?

I mean can't you get to modboss rumia even if you push absolutely nothing? *looks*
update: Yeah, you can get to midboss rumia without pushing a single button without using a continue, you die twice though.

Anyway I haven't progressed nearly as significantly. I don't remember my very first game that well, I know it was EoSD normal. I think I game overed on stage 4. My first death I DO remember. Cirno's opener.. I wasn't really expecting a fast moving shotgun.

Post by: nintendonut888 on May 07, 2010, 08:33:02 PM
November 30 2007, I played the MoF demo on easy mode, unknowingly at 30 FPS (old old computer >_>). I think I 1cc'd. Looking at videos of EoSD and noticing the lower bullet density, I was like "wow, this looks like it may be almost too easy."

December 10, I got EoSD and skipped easy and went straight to normal, me thinking that 1ccing the MoF demo on hard (at 30 FPS mind you) would give me an edge. Game over on Cirno.

Good times~

First try was EoSD hard, I recall getting up to stage 3 before game overing.

howwww. High level wind horn sylphae is like Aya's timeout card, only the bullets curve at variable angles, iiick.

I find it harder than lunatic emerald megalith personally.

Post by: Chaotic Phoenixma on May 09, 2010, 11:46:43 PM
I haven't even captured that damn thing on Normal. Hard and Lunatic where it's MarisA only, only got close a few times on Lunatic.

Nondirectional Lasers is fine, but damn Marisa's in IN is hard.

When I was a newbie, I didn't know how to focus. I could get up to PCB Stage 4 Normal like that.

think there is a small handful of people who didn't say that their first encounter, and possibly only becauses they have seen similar games. I remember a teacher showed me a video of IN and my jaw dropped, though we were looking at the programming aspect >.> still, it was awesome

I don't remember doing anything particularly stupid when I was new, which is kind of a shame - I had already played a few danmaku shooters before, so I knew what to expect. I think the worst thing is dying to a pattern because it was so pretty I forgot to dodge (which still happens occasionally). I do know someone who beat IN normal without knowing there was a focus button, though.

This lil noobeh chooses to play Lunatic.
This lil noobeh reaches Letty.
This lil noobeh falls back to Easy.

Since then, the lil noobeh has grown up to 1cc most of the Windows games on Normal, and some on Hard.

Post by: Jaimers on May 20, 2010, 12:02:38 PM
When I was trying to 1cc EoSD hard, I figured that it would be easier to skip hard and go straight to lunatic seeing as more points = more extra lives.

Post by: LordUnderworld18 on May 22, 2010, 12:16:39 PM
My very first time playing Touhou. IN on Lunatic. (For the lulz ^^)
After 5 seconds, I was like: "Wait, WHAT?"
I got a Game Over at Stage 1 mid-boss. (I had 3 lives, btw)
So, yeah... xD

Even today, I still have some little problems on Normal Mode...
