Touhou Accomplishment Thread 21: Time to go FULL SHMUP

[ShadowOfDarkness]

Just a little ago I cleared the extra stage of IN for the first time. Well I used every savespot I could find but at least I won.

[Noobzor]

1st SA hard 1cc  :toot:
Died at the very end of subterranean sun, because a capture would've been too good to be true :V
Now there's only TD left until I can finally go for lunatic.

[ARF]

Gathered 153 life pieces in DDC lunatic using MarisaB :3

[Noobzor]

1st TD hard 1cc
TD is an easy 1cc.
Deaths with ressources everywhere and bad playing also everywhere, but I'm finally done with hard 1ccs  :3

I sometimes wonder if it's possible to not clear with Marisa (assuming proper bomb use)

[Waahst]

GFW LNB on A-2. Freezing is kind of like having a bomb.

Feels like I've been making updates here far too often. Thankfully, that's the last of those toppity-downy shooters I wanted to LNB. Whatever comes next would be a score improvement or something.

2.25 billion points in Ten Desires - Youmu/Lunatic

A bit disappointed that I died eventually, but wow, I never saw this coming. I need to obtain a life desperately.

PCB Hard 1CC

After not playing any Touhou for a few weeks, I decided to pick back up at trying to 1CC Hard in every game. All I gotta say is good thing I was Reimu, as this 1CC features 8 death bombs and numerous abuses of Reimu's smaller hitbox lol.

[Makedounia]

I played some EoSD extra today and I actually cleared it on my first try. I've cleared it before, but this time I captured some spellcards I've never captured before. I captured "Cranberry Trap",  "And Then Will There Be None?" and most importantly: I captured Maze of Love!! This spellcard has always been a huge problem for me.  Q.E.D is now the only spellcard I haven't captured.

I finally made it to stage 9. It was everything I expected it to be. Also, this was going through my mind. :justasplanned:

Everything was there; the atmosphere created by the music, that feeling of a much faster pace and the relentless storms of reflected bullets/boss attacks. Seriously, I swear in that one life I had, Yumemi didn't reflect any bullets that weren't in a ridiculous storm of undodgeableness......PoDD is truly wonderful

[Aeteas]

PoDD Reimu 1cc!

The score was not high enough to appear on my high score board though.

FW A1 Hard clear.  It's good to know that I can finally at least do this much with this game.  I feel kinda bad that I'm saying Hard and not Lunatic.  This game is way harder for me than it should be.  I just can't get comfortable with the freezing - I really, really don't like charge attacks in my STGs.  That said, with how shitty I am at using ice effectively, I guess this means my dodging has gotten slightly better?  I guess that's something to be happy about, so I will be.  I don't think I'll bother with the other routes, since clearing 6 times is somewhat tedious and not something I really feel like doing.  Might do Extra or Lunatic A1 if I ever come back to this game.

Oh, I also did an all gold medals run on Easy A1 earlier.  It was somewhat on a whim, I really wasn't expecting to cap every spell in one run.  It was kinda fun.  Normal was more fun, but some stuff was just too hard for me.  This game could do with a practice mode.

Don't come back to it, it sucks. :V

You have no idea what you're talking about, GFW is great (if you like the freeze mechanic, anyway).

You are in for a world of hurt. Stick pummeling commencing in about 5 minutes.

[Mr Jovial]

Oh no, did I miss the show? :munch:

EDIT: Thought I was only 20 minutes late, turns out I'm an hour and 20 minutes late because Daylight Saving Time But I'm with Wriggle on this one, freezing was less fun than the scenes in StB/DS that just required you to time your pictures correctly so you didn't actually need to dodge anything of real difficulty.

[BT]

Your definition of fun needs work.

[Mr Jovial]

Meh, I supposed I'm slightly biased towards disliking GFW because I couldn't do well in it since I couldn't get a good grasp of the controls and refused to play on anything below Hard. This was at the time when my only lunatic 1cc was IN, so Hard was probably too much to learn the game from. Though I never had that kind of problem with controls on the phantasmagorias or the photography games . Also, my everything needs work  :derp:

EDIT: Back on topic of achievments: Gaiz, 2day I got to PoDD stage 2 with 400k points :colonveeplusalpha:

[Wriggle]

Good thing about GFW is Cirno, Sunny and Magus Night. The freeze system is horrible and you have to micromemo everything for a simple 1cc (or else you won't manage your ice correctly and will have a shitstorm on your face with no way to survive besides bombing if you happen to have one). And the Extra stage portion is horribly boring and despite Marisa seeming fun I don't feel like memorizing every spot of the stage portion just to reach her 10 minutes afterwards. So while there's no GFW Boss Rush, no Marisa for me. :V

and have mercy zengy, i'll stop agreeing with maze that ufo sucks

[BT]

Play. At. 90fps.

[Seppo Hovi]

UFO sucks.

[chum]

I can't even begin to grasp how someone seriously forms an opinion like this.

[Mr Jovial]

Oops, looks like I derailed the topic. I should hide before a mod shows up

Spoiler:

and starts discussing GFW as well.

:V

PoDD is going very well now. Made it to Yumemi with 4 lives. First life went really well and survived for about 4 minutes but Yumemi remained unhit. Second and fourth life were poop. But third made it to Yumemi on half heart and my first hit of that round was due to flying into a cross because I was anticipating it would disappear in time. It didn't. This 1cc is getting so close that I can lick it. Tastes like glory and strawberries.

[Zil]

Yeah let's talk about how awesome PoDD is. I got 13 million from stage 1 without getting hit or bombing. It was awesome alright.

[Zengeku]

GFW. Managed to get some more gold medals. 8/11 medals in one run on A-1. Unfortunately I cannot dodge so I failed to handle the last three. I'd like a run that golds everything but the final spell, that would be acceptable though a full gold run would be nice. This is just on Hard mode of course. If I could dodge, I would do Lunatic but some of that stuff is just no.

The freeze system is horrible and you have to micromemo everything for a simple 1cc (or else you won't manage your ice correctly and will have a shitstorm on your face with no way to survive besides bombing if you happen to have one).

Okay. That is not true. The game is very easy and very forgiving. Chances are you'll 1cc it before you get anything remotely micromemorized.

and have mercy zengy, i'll stop agreeing with maze that ufo sucks

Aww, there's no way I could not have mercy for you.

[BT]

God dammit I'm playing this game and it's all your fault.

Got a round that reached Yumemi after what must have been a decade. Reimu but whatever-the-fuck, I can't do anything right in this game. Lost a life to Stage 5 Ellen but lost none to Stage 6 Reimu and Stage 7 Mima, which I'm really grateful for. Except I died three times to Chiyuri. I really should have taken her down on the second round but, and this may surprise you -  I'm fucking bad at this game. I actually did well against Yumemi and had her on her final hit for a pretty long while but this game is unclearable and all, so I got wall of death'd.

Still taking this over two deaths to Stage 1 Marisa, or a full wipeout to Stage 4 Kana.

[Validon98]

Well I failed a run of IN on Lunatic. I made it all the way to Life Spring Infinity... and forgot how it worked and died instantly. That'll teach me not to try playing this game without remembering how to do all of the spells. :V
The shining moment of that run, though? Capturing Tele-Mesmerism. I think it was some kind of combination of luck and I don't know what else.

[SirSlarty]

UFO Easy 1cc which took forever.

Damn Shou's curves...

[Mero]

Beat my PB on DDC Lunatic with MarisaB by 58 million

not bad for a first credit, I think :V
