Touhou Accomplishments

[nintendonut888]

1cc'd HRtP hard Jigoku route. Fun times.

Hmmm.... I was playing stage practice in PCB just now, and I noticed something very interesting, something that could be pretty beneficial if my theory on it is correct.  However, I'm going to refrain from posting about it until I do more testing and see if it's actually worthwhile.  Don't wanna throw it out only for it to turn out to be a wild goose chase.  If it turns out I'm on to something, I might make a separate topic for it.

[nintendonut888]

Don't be like that. Tell us~

[Vile Lasagna]

I think that he discovered that if the bullets cross your character but not the red ball you see when you press shift you are unharmed...That would be awesome XD

[nintendonut888]

Wait...what?

*checks*

DUDE, that's fucking sweet!

[LHCling]

Double what?

[theshirn]

Double what?

I believe the proper term is "lolwut".

Also, I'm still not certain how I managed to unlock Stage 4 in practice on SA Lunatic, considering as I tried practice today and it still took me a few tries to beat Satori.  (Actually, it was pure ninja skills, but...yeah.)

[Azinth]

Such is the power of SA bombspamming. 

btw I was just screwing around with spell practice (testing my theory~) and I capped Life Spring Infinity and Asteroid belt, both for the first time, with the Ghost Team.  LSI is actually pretty funny because Yuyuko's shotgunning kills it in like 2 waves.  Then I tried Hourai Elixer and capped it 3 times out of like 30 tries.  I think that's enough Touhou for today

And also, I think I'm going to use the Ghost Team instead of the Magic Team for my IN 1cc.  Those horribly designed stages were just too much.  I'm all for trying out unused shottypes and everything, but spending a combined 3 hours of practice just to get the hang of a single 3 minute stage just kind of broke me.

I wonder if there is seriously someone on this forum who doesn't know this yet

That would certainly be an accomplishment on its own

Happy Bombers team is quite nice. They've recently replaced "Look at me, I'm a pro" (Scarlet) Team as my favourite IN duo.
Magic team does disappoint, mainly because of Alice not trying hard enough. But Marisa is as awesome as ever. She breaks Keine like a twig and there are few things more fun that taking her to Astronomical Entombment Lunatic and making it look like an easy mode card.

double what = what what. As in I had no idea what was going on. Maybe I'm just too tired from coming back from a practical  >_>

Astronomical Entombing lunatic timeout. >_>

I love doing this. If anyone knows me, they know I hate Eirin with a fiery passion, her fight and her personality. So imagine how much fun it is to turn her into an absolute joke and have her shoot only one bullet on her final spell card. Sooooo satisfying.

Yes it is a complete joke of a card. Even without breaking the familiars.

Fastest boss kill ever?



Like really, if you memorize the manipulation of the ball...  >_>

Also, trying more stupid things with Astronomical Entombing Lunatic.

I actually was going to do that the first time I took Marisa to face that one. But then I got bored and just blasted her back into space.

Reisen: "Ah, sore wa...."
Alice: "Stuff to blow up?"
Marisa: "Stuff to blow up ! "

Fastest boss kill ever?

Can't really make shit out of that SS, though XD (I'm sorta steering clear of the PC98 games while I can (although some of the characters are awesome)). But with Alice I regularly take down Orin in 7.5 seconds for YoukaiBlazingWheel (FacedollX3, "WHO'S THE CHEAP F***  NOW?!?! MUAAAAHAHAHAHAHA")

[Kefit]

It's even more fun when you use the worst youkai for the job: http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=789

I tried timing it out without breaking any familiars or cheesing it about a year ago, but I never got the timer down below the mid to high 20s.

Timing it out without breaking familiars I can do with focus and Border Team cheapness. No focus timeout... might as well give it about 50 tries.

I'm half asleep right now how the fuck did I do this

Virtue of Wind God Lunatic timed out no bombs no deaths http://replays.gensokyou.org/download.php?id=3198

Featuring infinite amounts of luck as I soar through one solid wall and manage to place myself perfectly on long unfocused dodges time and time again to get into tiny gaps! Like with my EoSD books capture the other night, I think that being half asleep helped here. It removed any hesitation I might have had when dodging and made me play and react more instinctively. The flip side of this, of course, is the effect that being half asleep had on my performance on the rest of the stage.

[nintendonut888]

Has Kefit only now discovered the benefits of being half asleep? I captured Scarlet Meister while half asleep, I think it may help with your playing in some areas.

[Drake]

Kefit needs to drug himself on purpose every time he plays Touhou

jesus this is amazing

[Schpwuette]

Finally got around to trying IN extra. Took me 4 tries: about 1 hour of playing to clear it (but by the GODS it was a messy run)
Thus, my accomplishment is not clearing it, but clearing it in so few attempts... surely that's something to be proud of.

Admittedly having seen so many replays and videos must have helped. But hey.

[Kefit]

VoWG Lunatic time out is now on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1MR9jOpH94&fmt=22#

No annotations this time, as there isn't any real way to point out some of the spiffier dodges that happen since the card is simply too fast paced. I do write an essay about VoWG playing styles in the video description though.

[Vile Lasagna]

If you're INCLINED to do it you can just take it to Premiere or Vegas (or probably even Movie Maker) and insert slowdowns of places you might want to explain or show or whatever.

(But don't feel pressured. Everyone knows I hate and despise VoWG in all it's versions and proably won't really care much about it in a personal way)

[Easy Mode]

Congratulations! Out of curiosity, who did you use?

EDIT: kicking snowballs in tHRtP is fun!

EDIT 2: VoWG Lunatic. 2 Mistakes before ending the card.

Marisa, Marisa, only Marisa.

[stargroup]

When I was half-asleep I captured Emerald Megalith lmfao.

Also lmfao Kefit that has got to be one of the luckiest replays I've seen haha

EDIT: YES I finally captured that goddamn Hydro Camouflauge whatever that MoF stage 3 midboss spell is called.

There's a little bit of luck involved since sometimes there are a few stray bubbles that really constrict you, making them near impossible to dodge. The trick is to locate at which heights near the bottom of the screen will the horizontal gap between the diagonal bullets is maximum. The first wave is an inch or two above the bottom of the screen. From there, just dodge within the gap and adjust accordingly.

Damn that was hard. 1/16 O___O

[bjw]

No focus timed out Asteroid Belt with Border Team on my second try today... glad to know that I still have some dodging skill left in me despite lack of play and being out of practice. Guess I might as well play a few more minutes of Touhou.

Also, damnit Kefit.

Edit: Just found a safe spot in Kaguya's first card, haha; allowed me to time it out without breaking a sweat >_>

[nintendonut888]

Safe...spot? Brilliant Dragon Bullet? Really? Why do I have the feeling that I don't really want to know it, for it may ruin a perfectly good spell card like the safespot on Utsuho's third spell card.

I filmed myself dicking around in EoSD Extra. I've been meaning to do this for a while, as I've often wondered myself what kind of setup the really good touhou players play with, but was never actually able to find any videos of it. So here's mine; maybe some people find it interesting.

As an added bonus, it might help dispel some claims regarding the legitimacy of my runs (which is what pushed me to finally put in the effort of setting up a camera in the first place).

I made a bunch of mistakes in the run (I didn't even clear it, in fact) but there were enough ridiculous stunts I pulled off successfully to make it worthwhile.

Huh, I've never actually thought of trying anything besides the defaults.  WER is interesting, I might need to try it out sometime.  I can see moving focus off of shift, but is there any reason for WER over, say, ASD?

The Starbow Break and QED fails also made me feel a bit better about myself

That was damn impressive.

[stargroup]

Hey guys, would a perfect Lunatic MoF stage entirely done pacifist be impressive?

I know I can do stage 1, and I think I might be able to do 2, maybe even 5.
