Might be at 20 now. I don't think anyone's really counting anymore.

But congratulations nonetheless!

CyberAngel · « **Reply #481 on:** January 04, 2014, 04:56:06 PM »

Remember how I said over in the blogging thread that I'm tired with IN? Well, just one week off and I'm back. That pretty much means that next month or two will be only IN solo. Let's hope I'm up to it.

For actual achievements, I've finally managed to do a few spellcards without destroying familiars: Spiritual Birth "First Pyramid" (by having enough dodging ability at last) and Origin Sign "Ephemerality 137" (by staying away from familiars). Since for them I relied on destroying familiars before, finally capturing them without that is very inspiring.

I think people stopped counting VoWG timeouts back at the discussion after Malkyrian's, a bit over a year ago-- the view seemed to be that the list was from a time when it was a much rarer, and more difficult relative to others, achievement than it'd become by then.

If I recall correctly, Malkyrian was 17th or so.

Space Flower · « **Reply #483 on:** January 05, 2014, 05:57:42 AM »

Wowow, and to think just weeks ago I was excited to have captured that spellcard on Normal. These timeouts are ridiculous. Stop going in between the talismans. That's not normal at all. You guys define Lunatic Mode.

CyberAngel · « **Reply #484 on:** January 06, 2014, 08:45:44 PM »

My first scoring achievement worth posting here. It was such a good run that I even had watery eyes during credits. I just knew it was something awesome. It's a 1-miss with good bomb usage. All my previous Normal runs had 4+ misses. I'm just so moved now.

That said, I do seem to like IN scoring system. I like how it's tied to survival and all the time orb stuff. Been thinking about scoring of the games I played lately, and don't really like MoF or EoSD. IN, however, might just be the thing I'd pick up in the future. About other games, we'll see about it when I get to them.

Tsym · « **Reply #485 on:** January 07, 2014, 04:44:55 AM »

MoF LNB! Took me all day to get, but man it was pretty worth it. Despite that I had a lot of close calls along the way as people in IRC can attest to (apologies for all the raging too!)

Next up is UFO I suppose!

Oh, speaking of Virtue of Wind God timeouts, here's mine at 75 FPS.

Imperishable Night Lunatic 1cc

Now I've 1cc'ed all Windows Touhou games in Lunatic minus GFW, in a time span of a bit less than a month too. I saved IN for last specifically because it's one of my favorites and I wanted to end my goal of 1ccing the Lunatics on a sweet note. The most difficult game for me was UFO by far, and the next hardest was TD, probably because of the relative lack of resources or something. MoF also gave me some trouble because of VoWG (congrats to IHNN and Malkyrian on the timeouts, by the way!). I remember thinking I would be totally satisfied with getting all of the Normal 1ccs, but after I got a Hard 1cc, I felt like I couldn't stop with just that. So needless to say, I'm very happy about this accomplishment

My first Hard 1cc goes to Imperishable Night with Border Team! I got it during a livestream! :toot:

CyberAngel · « **Reply #489 on:** January 09, 2014, 05:13:05 PM »

Captured Ephemerality 137... with Remilia. The catch is that, in addition to already insane dodging, I had to keep updating my familiar placement to deal consistent enough damage or I'd have no chances.

Ranko Hoshino · « **Reply #490 on:** January 09, 2014, 06:15:05 PM »

And hey, this makes three people getting first Hard 1cc just this week! It's awesome to see other new players advance.

So, to everyone, whether you mastered LNMNB runs or struggle with your first Normal 1cc - good job and good luck!

Well, this happened. It was supposed to get me back into how SA works, instead of finishing what I started.

No deaths after initital suicides, but shittons of mistakes. roughly 30m worth. I didn't even finish with maximum faith w I'm bad at this scoring thing.

Video if anyone really cares. HD option for the video should be enabled eventually.

Say, do you find the Hard version easier or harder? Because I find Lunatic one easier quite a notch (though still pretty hard).

By the way... *highfive*

I find the Lunatic version to be a bit less restrictive for movement in terms of the stuff coming from the familiar, but the Hard version doesn't give quite as much to dodge either. Either way... I really don't like that spell.

*highfives back*

I also only need to get the Lunatic version of Eirin's Last Spell now, then I'll have caught all of her spells.

Shame it's not a clear, so you can't post it on royal flare.

Though I have to cut you some slack. Getting into stage 6 on Lunatic with no resources left (two bombs for scoring, one for emergency on Remilia) is pretty rough, especially considering it'll be like this from now on in all of your runs.

<Malkybunny> okay i'm almost dying laughing right now
<Malkybunny> after a run utterly full of failure at absolutely everything
<Malkybunny> i decided on a random whim to try to pacify nue's second card
<Malkybunny> note: i had like 400+ tries at this before giving up on it eons ago
<Malkybunny> and i got it
<Malkybunny> on my FIRST TRY
<Malkybunny> on livestream

Video here. Note, I was referring to Nue's second card in TD, not UFO.

I have no name · « **Reply #506 on:** January 17, 2014, 06:51:42 PM »

So for no reason at all I've decided to try to capture every spellcard in IN with every shot type. Border Team and Ghost Team I'd already done, so I've been going through Magic Team and having fun breaking things with the Malice Cannon.

And then I got to Yukari's Last Word.

And then I captured it first try, without remembering how to do it. How.

edit: Ok I'm definitely better than I used to be, got Hourai Elixir first try as well. Not sure when that happened, but I'll take it :V

double edit: 27 tries for lunatic Hourai Jewel with Magic Team. I'm not sure if this is good or bad, but I made 2 vertical restreams before seeing if my old method of horizontal restreams would work. It did, and I dealt enough damage to kill the card...with 2 seconds left.

Nether Sign "Endless Evening Cherry Blossoms" Timeout
Got this a few days ago. The attack gets very scary towards the end. I feel like this could have taken much longer than it did, so I'm pretty pleased with getting the timeout.
