I was using the replies feature for a while, then I found Unread which shows every message.  Couple that with the power of Mark All as Read...instead forumwide updates on only what I want to see :3

I died to Magic Butterfly.

I don't know why I keep dying to Kanako's first card on normal/hard. You would think I would learn to move over more so I don't get hit by those fat lasers/onbashira.

Had about 10 matches with Aya today in MoF. Managed to capture PWG 8 times but failed Saruta Cross and Storm Day several times. So stupid.  :(

Derp'ish failures and stupidity pretty much defines my Touhou playing these days so i don't get much done but whatever, it's still fun.

Played IN Normal w/ Ghost team for a few reasons. It's rare that I actually play the games (being someone who prefers other danmaku STGs), but this was one instance where there was little if any alternative.

Ended up game overing at Tei with large numbers of crappy deaths, a few wasted bombs, and several instances of running into bullets. I think most of it was since I went and played it more like DoDonPachi...very different shooters, yeah, but somehow that happened. To add on to the problem I used an arcade stick, which probably invoked muscle memory from other STGs. Horribly stupid but hilarious run that was.

Made it to UFO stage 6 today, blew the run by dying on Byakuren's first non and game overing on Recitation because the first non death left me with no resources for it.  4 hours later I've made it past stage 2 once and past stage 1 a small handful of times.  What's a consistency and how do I become one?

Ancient Japanese Secret.

The practice mode. Use it. Play the patterns. Develop skill. Learn how to dodge the patters. Bomb the patterns you are unable to learn. You have nothing to complain about with that miniscule amount of time you have in this game.

Done.  Now I'm more consistent, but I'm just consistently game overing on stage 2.

Bosses are not really the problem for me aside from Shou/Byaku who are brick walls.  And the bricks are made of steel.  Getting there with good resources would do it, but mistakes with UFO summons really fuck me up and spiral me into either chaindeaths or rainbow summons (fuckin blues man), setting me back several lives.  Pretty much every time a UFO isn't up where I have it planned I'll die 1-3 times trying to summon and break one.

Can't help you much with that since i never bothered making a UFO route. Really, just pick up the reds that come near your vicinity and if you get in a situation with static blue and green ufos, spawn a rainbow one. You are playing SanaeB so dropping a bomb somewhere to collect UFO's is also an idea.

Also, you are lying if you say that the bosses aren't at least part of the problem if you can't even get to Shou and Byakuren consistently.
You will have to develop some consistency on stages 1-4 so that you don't mess up your entire run by failing at things you supposedly don't have a problem with.
And practicing Shou and Byakuren so that you at least have an approach to the attacks when you face them without bombs is a good idea.

Also. If UFO's fly out of your reach, don't try suicidal things to grab them. Wait for them to come back down for you again or let them leave. It's not worth it to die to summon a single red UFO.

Flunked TD LNB by dying to Soga's spell, on Stage 3 streaming and then of course. The Seiga performance. Really proud of that. 3 deaths on Tongling and 1 death on first non. Great stuff. Seiga, you are not fun. You are just annoying.

okay, so this is what I am trying to do: no focus, no charge no bomb with komachi, which translates to "clear the game with your unfocused dodging ability"

komach is a great character for this challenge because if you clear, if you clear because of your dodging abilites, not because you lucked out and killed an enemy early (like it'd likely be the case with a few other character). I've done a couple runs by now (like 10-15) and this is definitely doable and balls hard, but on the other hand, it's one of the most fun challenges I have taken up upon - I'd say this is on par with the PoFV 90 fps challenge and chiyuri PoDD.
one thing I noticed while playing is that chaining becomes fucking difficult if I have to chase the fairies, so scoring is getting really difficult, since I will basically always have 0 for spell bonus at the end of every stage. I haven't managed to get 50m even once (which is what I believe to be the minimum amount of lives to clear, since first rounds from marisa onwards are auto-losses).

now all that said, I have done a couple credits now (like 10-15) and have been derping around in a lot of them. the last run at me dying at the 00:59 mark in the first yuka round, reimu kicked my ass similarly. I think the only way to make this game any harder to clear is if I played mystia or youmu because they're so fast. even with komachi's slow ass speed I overshoot so many times.

Welp, I lost three lives to Nue's Green UFOs. I can't really blame anything but myself for that.
Been playing some PoFV on hard with Mystia. I've gotten a lot better, save for Medicine. Lost too many times to count. Shiki is annoying, but she's the last boss so I'm not as peeved.

Returning from a hiatus of about a week, and dying in just about the stupidest ways imaginable.

Attempting to time out Yuyuko's last attack again? Let's die to the last nonspell, the streaming one. TWICE.

Attempting to perfect Megumi again? Let's die by falling outside of the bubble in her FIRST SPELLCARD. How does that even happen. (For those who haven't played Marine Benefit, this is almost as embarrassing as the one above.)

Oh hey I finally timed something out -dies at 0 second mark- ...fuck you.

-bomb lingers into a spellcard and clears out some opening bullets- Oh hey, wouldn't it be funny if I then proceeded to time out the rest of the card? No, I did exactly that, and it wasn't.

At least I finally have SOMETHING to speak of, but seriously, failure after failure after failure is just really grating.

Wow...just wow. I can't believe I failed this hard. OK, So I did a run of SA (normal) with Marisa A and ended up getting to Okuu with 8 spare lives. I cleared it, but I only had 2 spare lives at the end. I don't know how I failed that hard at Okuu, but I got the clear so...yay? I should probably practice her more.

I tried IN with Alice solo. Game over. Normal mode.

I got a glorious 3cc of PCB Lunatic, bombing everything and dying when I had no bombs left. And that's my very best run in several months of attempts/practice.

So, I tried that Danmakufu ph3 game Fairies of Sorcery. On my second attempt, I made it to the last spell, wasted almost all of my remaining bombs, and then tried to Burst. I somehow forget that that doesn't clear bullets in the last spell. Upon attempting to "death-Burst," I died, because Bursts don't make you invincible.

Two failed cards, deathbomb on stage 6B opener.

No sleep, no eating. Let's go grinding.

-

Hours later, best standing is now at 1.713B, with 8/0 clear and downhill starting from Reisen's final noncard. (I also had a run that was ahead of AM up to the third last spell, but then the nerves took the better of me and I failed both the fourth and the third last spells, finishing with 1.5xB score.) I'll need some refreshment now. I'll get back to it tomorrow.

My touhou skills have gone completely bad lately. I have a terribly hard time 1CCing any game on easy, now. Help.

On the other hand, someone gave me a completed SA save file so I could play the extra stage a long time ago. After 30 tries and many many many deaths, I decided "Nyeh, I'll use Cheat Engine to at LEAST reach Koishi".

I... I stopped counting my deaths once it reached three digits. The only spellcard I didn't die 5-10 times on was Embers of Love. (Who is, strangely, easy.)

Your skills immediately go down the drain once you remove any sort of pressure from the game. It's why I've perfected some bosses in actual runs that I've never perfected in stage practice (like Seiga on hard the other day). It's also why overconfidence can destroy good runs (said run ended up with me dying three times on Futo and game overing to Miko's 3rd).

Use a cheat engine to see the cards if you want, but if you want to perform well, you just have to simply muscle your way through the stage (SA's extend system is shitty for extra stages, admittedly).

Oh yeah, that TD hard run would have been a great story for the rage thread, but this thread is a suitable substitute I guess.

Let's play Mythical Mirror on Easy! (because Normal is too hard  :V)
*dies to random green pellet in the stage portion because it totally blended in with the background*
*dies to Marisa's opener*
*dies to Marisa's first Spell Card*
*dies to Marisa's second Spell Card*
*messes up the streaming of Meimei's opener, dies*
*dies to Meimei's Non-Directional Laser because she moved*
Hopefully I wouldn't be playing the official games this badly, but I don't feel like playing more now.
